1
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong

2
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,239
with Molly Henningway, editor in chief of The Federalist and

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,879
David Harsani, senior writer at The Washington Examiner. Just as

4
00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:25,839
a reminder, if you'd like to email the show, please

5
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:27,960
do so at radio at the Federalist dot com.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: We love to hear from you. Molly. How's it going

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,039
good and great?

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: I think we've just been a record for the most

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,119
time we've spent before, hitting record of just chit chatting.

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: Let's just keep going, and we still don't know what

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,679
we're doing.

12
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:48,039
Speaker 1: Let's start with Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Sorry, I'm always

13
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:50,240
very nervous. I'm going to mispronounce that first name and

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:50,920
get in trouble.

15
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:53,799
Speaker 3: Nothing worse you can do in life than mispronounce her name.

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,479
Speaker 2: I know.

17
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,119
Speaker 1: Did you see this New York Times piece? Kamala Harris

18
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:05,280
isn't ready to be written off? Huge puff piece. Well,

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,159
I'll get to my theory on why it was written

20
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,239
after I give you a quote from the piece. This

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,879
is from the former vice president. I understand the focus

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,719
on twenty eight and all that she told the Times,

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,359
but there will be a marble bust of me in Congress.

24
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,040
I am a historic figure like any vice president of

25
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,760
the United States ever was. And then she goes on

26
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,959
and on about how important she is. I actually don't

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,280
think she's a very important vice president. I can't think

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,239
of a single thing she's actually done or accomplished. If

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,599
you remember, she was tasked with helping figure out the

30
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,599
border crisis on the southern border, which she I think

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,959
came up with the idea that it was climate change that.

32
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Was the root cause of the refugee crisis.

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: But more than that, she was completely disconnected from Joe Biden,

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,319
clearly because she didn't even know that he is not

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,319
able to do his job. So how important of a

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,280
vice president is she?

37
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: Molly?

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: I like the idea that she's as important of a

39
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,280
vice president as any vice president in American history, because

40
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:21,120
it famously is not in office that has had a

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,800
lot of import and the better vice presidents actually know that, right,

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,520
not worth a bucket of warm spit, I remember even Okay,

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,159
So like Mike Pence had a little part of his

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,759
library at the Naval Observatory that was devoted to the

45
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,400
history of the vice presidency, and he was very self

46
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:46,120
deprecating about the unimportance of the role. And I think

47
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,039
it's better when you're vice president to understand you have

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,080
to be alert, you have to be ready, you have

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,000
to be supportive, like there are really important things you're

50
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:57,879
doing in that role. You're learning a lot about being

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,919
president in case you will become president. But it's not

52
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:04,639
like the most important office in the history of the universe.

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 1: The most important vice president in recent decades was Dick Cheney.

54
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,280
He might have been the most important vice president in history.

55
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,479
Actually in my view, just when he was a vice president,

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,199
meeting that he helped run the White House, that he

57
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,439
helped forge policy. You could like it or not, I

58
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,520
would say that Harris is one of the least important

59
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:27,280
vice presidents.

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: She was complete.

61
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:31,159
Speaker 1: I remember reading a story where she hadn't even met

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,159
like she wasn't even meeting with the president, like for

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,479
long stretches for half a year, things like that. But anyway,

64
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:43,719
I just anyway, my theory on why we see pieces,

65
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:45,879
and I bet we're going to see more pieces like this,

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,479
is that the Democrats really don't have anyone.

67
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:50,919
Speaker 2: Very compelling.

68
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually think they do, but they don't

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,759
believe they have anyone who's going to be compelling in

70
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,840
twenty twenty eight.

71
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: To most people, we quickly stick with the Kamalin Harris piece, though,

72
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,479
because I thought it was really fascinating. You noted it

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,879
was a puff piece by Shane Goldmacher. Almost everything published

74
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:13,039
by The New York Times, with some notable exceptions, recently,

75
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,920
is puffy or it's what you would call way after

76
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,079
the fact journalism. So maybe like five ten years after

77
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,399
it matters, they'll report something true and negative about the

78
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:28,639
Democrat Party. But this was very positive and it was

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,480
almost written like a pr piece about her. It was

80
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:36,879
about how popular she is, how many crowds are out there,

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,160
how the lines are very long, and it was making

82
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:42,519
me laugh because I remember standing in a very long line.

83
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,839
This is so embarrassing to reveal, but let's just do it,

84
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,480
standing in a very long line as a teenager to

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,959
get Dan Quail's autograph on my copy of his memoir

86
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,839
at the Tattered Cover in Denver, Colorado. And I'm not

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,079
saying anything negative about dan Quilt because I love the dude.

88
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,759
But he didn't go on to become president. Like a

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,720
lot of people in America probably don't even remember that

90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,439
he was president or never learned it, right, So like

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,199
long lines for book signings don't necessarily mean a ton, right.

92
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also from what I thought, I thought that

93
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720
that she didn't get a lot long a lot of

94
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,800
long lines. I mean I read that things weren't actually

95
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,279
going well for her on that stur But anyway, and

96
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:30,240
then yeah, they mean.

97
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: Nothing like just this is a maybe pedantic but the

98
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,439
author writes the book takes small swipes at potential twenty

99
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,680
twenty eight rivals. She didn't consider Pete Buddha Judge for

100
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:47,120
vice president because she didn't believe America was ready for

101
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,639
a ticket with a black woman and a gay man.

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,399
Is that a swipe at Pete Buddha Judge or America?

103
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,399
You know what I mean? Like, it's just weird how

104
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:04,079
gently it's written and also inaccurately. But I don't know,

105
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,399
it just seems like the thing, the number one vibe

106
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,680
I get from her, I don't know if other people

107
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680
get this, is just that she she puts off a

108
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,879
laziness vibe, like she can't really be bothered to put

109
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:25,279
the work in. And whether I didn't even get that

110
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,000
from Joe Biden and he was incompetent but he didn't

111
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,519
seem like he was incompetent through laziness so much as

112
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:36,199
mental decline. But usually your presidents are people who hustle

113
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,279
and work hard, right.

114
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean Biden, I don't think was that by the

115
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240
time he became present, you remember how he ran. But yeah,

116
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120
I agree, in general, that's the vibe she gives off late.

117
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Was that laziness or was that that he wasn't ever

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,600
very bright? He was mentally incompetent and she wasn't.

119
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: Ever very right outcome? Well, that's true, all that's true.

120
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: And he had a long record of actually working hard,

121
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,480
working hard to destroy the country, but still working hard.

122
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,079
Speaker 3: Before the mental decline, there wasn't a lot of mental

123
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:09,240
to work with there.

124
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:10,759
Speaker 2: Right, I don't know.

125
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:14,279
Speaker 1: I don't know that Kamala is especially bright in that

126
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,600
way either, though I don't think she's I think I

127
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,000
don't think she's dumb or anything like that. But when

128
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,079
I think of her, I think of an unseerious person,

129
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240
I guess, more than even a lazy person, in the

130
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,879
sense that I don't think she's ever thought about anything

131
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,800
very deeply. She doesn't really have any kind of core

132
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,120
moral moral center. The thing that I When I think

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,879
of her and her accomplishments, I think of her smearing

134
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,839
Brett Kavanaugh, putting into the congressional record that he was

135
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,480
a gang rapist, right like, I think of her as

136
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:47,319
completely corrupt in that way, given things, never earning them.

137
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:50,160
She's a DEI higher. People get so upset when you

138
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,639
say that. But I don't know why. If de I

139
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:56,040
is this great equalizer, why can't Kamala Harris be a

140
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:57,040
beneficiary of it?

141
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: Right?

142
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,399
Speaker 1: And the problem is people don't like her very much.

143
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,839
I think that's a real important factor in winning the presidency.

144
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,360
You have to you have to connect with people. Donald

145
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,800
Trump doesn't connect with everyone, but he definitely connects to

146
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:11,839
a certain group of people.

147
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: You know.

148
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, for all the things we say about him,

149
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,360
connected with certain types of people. Bill Clinton did, Barack

150
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,720
Obama did, All presidents do. I don't think she has that.

151
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,079
I mean, the only way she wins is if she's

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,600
up against some terrible candidate.

153
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: I guess. But let me ask you this.

154
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if we can move on obviously very early,

155
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,519
you know, but the most recognizable people on the Democratic

156
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,120
side are people that Democrats want to run for president.

157
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: She's actually on the top.

158
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,639
Speaker 1: A lot of those polls Newsome and her I think

159
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,519
are in the top two.

160
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: I don't think those polls mean that much. It's usually

161
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,440
about name recognition at the beginning. Name recognition is important,

162
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,799
and then also what the So the Democrat Party picks

163
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,720
its nominee through more of a top down procedure than

164
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,519
the publican party does. So it's going to depend on

165
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,600
who the top guys in the Democrat Party decide will

166
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,000
be the one that they will foist on the voters.

167
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:14,840
And I think it's too early to say. I think

168
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:19,039
Gavin Newsom is just like a much stronger candidate than

169
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,679
most people say. He's willing to lie. What did he

170
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:26,000
lie about this week? That was just like so brazen,

171
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,320
but I think it works for him. I think he

172
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,519
said he was singed in the fires because he was

173
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:38,399
like fighting fires in California. It's just not true in.

174
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: A weird way. I definitely agree with you. I think

175
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,080
he's much stronger than people think, but in a weird way.

176
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,919
There's remember when Trump brann in twenty fifteen, there were

177
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,440
a lot of people were just sick of the old

178
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:51,399
party and wanted someone who fights. I think there are

179
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,320
a lot of Democrats who feel that way about Gavin Newsom. Yeah,

180
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,080
of course he's a blatant liar and all that, but

181
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360
they feel like he's a guy who's not going to

182
00:09:58,399 --> 00:09:58,879
back down.

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,519
Speaker 2: Maybe.

184
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,639
Speaker 3: I also wondered if so this situation in Maine where

185
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,519
the guy with the Nazi tattoo is the nominee per Senate,

186
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,120
I was thinking about how Democrats seem to respond to

187
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,279
that what would normally be considered a scandal your candidate

188
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,159
has a Nazi tattoo, by just ignoring it and deciding

189
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:23,960
they would go with it anyway. And I was wondering

190
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,200
if they had even they had gotten sick of their

191
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,159
woke insanity, and if that will affect how things go

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,879
in the Democrat primary. So for a while there, it

193
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:38,799
was like you had to be a person of color

194
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,919
or you had to be having sex with people of

195
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,200
the same sex in order to be considered like a

196
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,559
potential star. And if you were a white man, you know,

197
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,080
there was like a feeling of sadness about it, even

198
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,919
if you became the nominee. And now I wonder if

199
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,480
they're just kind of done with that in admitting that

200
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:58,559
it's okay to be a white not.

201
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,039
Speaker 2: Just a way man.

202
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: But they're very great, rich white guy, right. I feel

203
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,559
like it's a weird Kennon, But I was like that.

204
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: You were talking about Joe Biden at first, and then

205
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,799
I realized you're talking about Gavin Newsom.

206
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,159
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. I think

207
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,919
the best candidate for that would be Shapiro, but I

208
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:21,200
don't think he'll ever. I don't think he'll get out

209
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,399
of a nominating process. He's popular in Pennsylvania, which is

210
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:28,480
the type of state you need to win. Democrats will

211
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,799
win California, it doesn't matter who runs, but you need

212
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,919
to win Pennsylvania, Michigan back and then you're gonna win elections.

213
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump was like cosmically, probably gonna win in

214
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:46,320
twenty twenty four, no matter what. But if you don't

215
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,799
look back on the failure to pick Shapiro as one

216
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,399
of it and instead to pick Tim Waltz too, Like

217
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,600
it wasn't just that she didn't pick Shapiro, but that

218
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,039
she picked him Waltz.

219
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: That is because because she thought he was going yeah, sorry,

220
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440
I'm sorry interrupted you, but because but the reason she

221
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:04,480
picked him was because he was going to connect with

222
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,559
like working class men, white men and Michigan stuff. And

223
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,159
then remember him holding the gun like he was just

224
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,879
terribly terrible. I'm very effeminate in a way, and yeah,

225
00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:19,399
how would you say it? Theater kid like? But did

226
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,759
you see the Atlantic story about Josh Shapiro where they

227
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,559
mentioned that Kamala Harris had basically portrayed him. I think

228
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,519
because she knows she made a mistake, she needed to

229
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:32,480
come up with an excuse for and she portrays him

230
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,120
as very what did he call it? That he was

231
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:40,919
just selfish and cared about himself and asked the wrong

232
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,159
questions and all that, and he said that that was

233
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,000
all I that she was just trying to sell books

234
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,679
and cover her ass, and then he kind of.

235
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,799
Speaker 2: Walked it back a little.

236
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,519
Speaker 1: I don't think he can win the nomination as a

237
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:57,039
person who's in the past been pro Israel, as a

238
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,919
person who's Jewish. In the Democratic Party today, I just

239
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,919
don't see the squad, which is obviously like there are

240
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,919
all these kind of far left candidates running in the country.

241
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:10,000
You had that in the Tennessee special election, you have

242
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,159
it elsewhere. They are the people right now who are

243
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,639
dominating the Democratic Party. I don't see Shapiro winning in

244
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,120
that kind of environment, I.

245
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: Think it's hard to say, and I know that the

246
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:24,759
nominee will be picked outside of a normal general population process.

247
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:33,159
But if the Republican Party fails to have a like

248
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,799
a case for its voters and you start losing a

249
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,000
lot of independence who are willing to go Democrat, the

250
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,759
urge in the Democrat Party to just be normal and

251
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,559
to reject all of the insanity that is fueling it

252
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,000
right now will be strong. You just don't know how

253
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:50,559
things are going to go because there's too much time,

254
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:54,320
or like, you know, even just the fraud committed by

255
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:59,519
people close to the squad, such as the Somali fraud

256
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,320
skin handle that's continuing to brew in Minnesota, it could

257
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:07,000
make those people more toxic in terms of their ability

258
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:08,759
to pick who they're going to want.

259
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,639
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about Let's talk about that a little

260
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,440
bit and segue into something else.

261
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: I I believe.

262
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: That the you know, the we had the yeah, the

263
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:22,159
Tennessee special election where a Republican underperformed.

264
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: Probably don't.

265
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it means as much as everyone else does,

266
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:29,000
But I do think that that race exemplifies in many

267
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960
ways the problems that both parties face want and.

268
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:34,879
Speaker 2: That's of the post Trump world. One of them.

269
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: Of course, you had the AOC of Tennessee, right, which is,

270
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,320
you know, the way the Democratic Party is going. And

271
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,799
then the other side you had a Republican candidate who I,

272
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,320
who I. I'm not an expert on that race, but

273
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320
it seems to me that the Republicans are going to

274
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,039
be grappling for kind of identity after Trump.

275
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: Trump is a.

276
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: Towering figure in American politics, and to force of will

277
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:03,399
in person, he changed the dynamics of the election. I

278
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:06,679
now may perhaps we can continue in that direction, perhaps

279
00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:08,960
it's going to be something else, but seems to me

280
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:12,960
like that's a problem. I wanted to talk about Trump

281
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,759
derangement centric, but I don't think it's effective to be

282
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:17,799
talking about Trump all the time, as they did in

283
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Tennessee and elsewhere, because Trump is still you know, with

284
00:15:21,799 --> 00:15:23,840
three years, still Trump, and there's going to be a

285
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,639
lot going on. But the elections themselves are not about

286
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:29,000
Trump anymore, and people have to figure out what to do.

287
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,240
And I don't think either party has figured out where

288
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,000
they're going to go.

289
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: I have well, it's two separate things, right, I have

290
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
no idea what the Republican Party is thinking. The most

291
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,600
alarming thing after that Tennessee special election was Mike Johnson

292
00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:45,759
came out and he was like, you know, it's not

293
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:50,559
true that this is a Republican plus twenty two district

294
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,559
because it ended up not being a very close race

295
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,679
at all. I think the guy won by seven, eight

296
00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:58,399
or nine points.

297
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

298
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: And Mike Johnson was like, yeah, no, this is this

299
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,759
is what we would want to end expect and people

300
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:09,320
are lying when they say that it's a Trump plus twenty,

301
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,679
which is not I mean, it was a Trump plus.

302
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,279
Speaker 2: Twenty two plus Trump twenty two.

303
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:17,559
Speaker 3: And it's not off your election, so like we're feeling great.

304
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:21,960
That alarmed me so much because what I want to

305
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,960
hear from a Speaker of the House who's in charge

306
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,679
of keeping the House of Representatives Republican, would be something like, yeah,

307
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,240
we squeaked this one out. We are not happy with

308
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,720
how close it was. Everybody who wants a Republican majority

309
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:39,720
needs to open their checkbook right now, write a check

310
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,159
right now, get five people you know registered right now,

311
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,639
because if we don't, you know, focus on this, we're

312
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,360
gonna lose badly. And for him to be like everything's

313
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,600
great and there's no problem. We're happy. I'm like, oh

314
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,200
my gosh, like this is going to be a nightmare.

315
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:57,399
Next year. It's going to be horrific. It's going to

316
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,279
be you know, what was that? What was the year

317
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,039
where Republicans lost everything? It's gonna it's it's gonna make

318
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:05,480
that look like a beautiful year.

319
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,599
Speaker 1: This is well, it's probably it's probably going to be

320
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,519
a bad election for Republicans because of historic precedent to

321
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:13,519
begin with, even though it's a little weird because Trump's

322
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,039
actually in his second term, but I think this will

323
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:20,039
be treated more like a first term midterm probably And.

324
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,079
Speaker 2: Oh but I also want to say, yeah, oh sorry, no, no,

325
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,480
go ahead.

326
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: I you know, I imagine that Republicans will lose the House.

327
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,200
I I you know, if they're smart, they won't lose

328
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,160
the Senate. And so you're going to go into the

329
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,799
end of Trump's second term with a divided government, but

330
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,920
not you know, a completely Democrat Congress, which would probably

331
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,319
be good for the Republican nominee to have a better

332
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,519
shot at continuing after you know, Trump's end of time

333
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,000
than they would otherwise.

334
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I would if I'm a Republican.

335
00:17:55,519 --> 00:18:00,319
Speaker 1: I worry that you had a kind of realignment was

336
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,839
based on Trump himself and not the Republican Party.

337
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,079
Speaker 2: He has a lot of voters.

338
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of voters who like Donald Trump

339
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,519
and come out and support Donald Trump who probably don't

340
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,319
have any historic or emotional connection to the GOP really

341
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,279
in any way. In fact, Trump's message from twenty fifteen

342
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,240
was I am the GOP is bad, and I'm going

343
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,039
to you know, I'm going to get the job done.

344
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:25,240
And that is something they have to work on. I

345
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:28,039
don't I have different views on that. I don't really

346
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:29,720
even want to. I don't think about it.

347
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is this is the huge thing.

348
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,759
So the Republicans are gifted this once in a you know,

349
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,440
once in history kind of guy, Donald Trump, who's so

350
00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:47,039
different than most men and able to do things that

351
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,279
no other candidate could possibly do. So I'm not denying

352
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,200
that he has a strength of personality that is remarkable.

353
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:59,960
It's also true that he has policies that are very

354
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:05,480
very well liked and create new voters for the Republican Party. Now,

355
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:08,799
if the Republican Party wants to keep those voters in

356
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,799
elections where Donald Trump is not on the ballot, and

357
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:17,000
he will not be on any ballot ever. Again, you

358
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,880
have to like codify and figure out how to take

359
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920
those things, match it with all the other interests in

360
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,839
your interest groups and make it a healthy, long term

361
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,880
governing majority or a viable political thing. And instead you

362
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,400
got people like everything's fine in Tennessee, Mike Johnson sounding

363
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,119
like like if Mike Pence were a little bit weaker

364
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,799
than you normally think of him, and being like that's

365
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,960
the guy leading you for the next generation. Like it's horrifying.

366
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:54,160
And I don't even mean like I'm not saying that

367
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,680
thing against Mike Johnson, like as a person or anything.

368
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,079
And probably I agree with him on a lot politically,

369
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,119
But you, I've been gifted this larger than life persona

370
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,839
who has brought to you literally millions of new voters,

371
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,799
and you have to do something to keep them. And

372
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:17,440
what is Congress doing? What policies have they codified? I mean,

373
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:23,960
even on something like the Venezuelan boat dronings, there's some question.

374
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,640
I think there are some legitimate questions about the lawfulness

375
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,240
of how Donald Trump is going after them. I know

376
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,720
that this is what presidents have done going back decades,

377
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:39,160
both against drug traffickers and also other entities. I'm not

378
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,759
singling out Trump here, but it would be probably a

379
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:46,079
smart move for Congress to work with Trump to have

380
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,680
some actual authorities put into place, and it would be

381
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:53,480
a difficult issue for Democrats to fight against the efforts

382
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:55,799
to stop drug dealers. It would be a good debate

383
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240
to have, and they're just like not having any debates.

384
00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:00,640
Congress doesn't do anything. I know this is your pet peeve,

385
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,200
but like they're not doing anything to make permanent this

386
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,440
gift that they have been repeatedly given against all odds.

387
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,759
Speaker 1: I agree with all of that, but I think we

388
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,519
would disagree on the future in this way. I don't

389
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:21,000
think Donald Trump has a coherent policy agenda. That doesn't

390
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:24,200
mean he doesn't have things that he does that are popular.

391
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,359
But I think he also because he only because he

392
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,759
goes by instinct, he does some stuff, and you know,

393
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:36,240
let's say on protectionism, that will that a lot of

394
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,480
his supporters will just go wherever he goes. I don't

395
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:41,920
know that they will give that kind of leeway to

396
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:47,680
whatever whoever comes next. So I don't think this realignment

397
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:52,920
is real or long lasting in the sense that I'm

398
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,480
not sure working class voters will come out for whoever

399
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:59,359
comes next in Pennsylvania, Michigan. And I think that if

400
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,240
I were a republic I would be very concerned that

401
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:05,599
I'm losing suburban voters and middle class voters and upper

402
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:08,799
middle class voters in Arizona and Georgia in places in Virginia.

403
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960
So I think the Republican Party needs to actually think

404
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,359
about who they're appealing to, or try to appeal to

405
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119
both a little more. Donald Trump is a special kind

406
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,359
of character where he had with the whole party. When

407
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,720
you see a maga hat, that's Donald Trump's party. I've

408
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:26,480
never seen anything like that. Maybe Obama for Democrats in

409
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:30,599
the beginning. So whatever he goes, they follow him, right, No.

410
00:22:31,079 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: No, no, disagree. I mean, first of all, he did

411
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,759
not invent the term of making America.

412
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 2: I understand, but the red hat and everything else.

413
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 3: So he definitely didn't invent the idea of of pride

414
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,599
in country and putting your country first above other people's interests.

415
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,200
He didn't invent these things. He understood that it's a

416
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:55,000
very American concept to care about these things.

417
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we have disagreements on what that means. I mean,

418
00:22:58,079 --> 00:22:59,200
I don't think that's fine.

419
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, to me, that's okay to have somebody. So

420
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,160
the point is, I'm just saying, shouldn't people move forward

421
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,519
with a vision of how to go forward, because you

422
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:10,640
can't go forward with Trump, but you should go forward

423
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,200
with something that blends all the good that you can put.

424
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:19,319
Speaker 1: Into and everyone will, all the contenders will claim to

425
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,599
take that mantle, right, But I'm just saying that when

426
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,359
you really think about what's popular that he does, it's

427
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,480
the border stuff.

428
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: People are sick of it.

429
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: His foreign policy is very popular, and I'm sorry to

430
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000
bring this up to people, but it is not isolationist

431
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,000
at all. It's just not true neo conservatism in any way.

432
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,640
I mean, he's not nation but but he's out there

433
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,319
and he's involved in a lot of the things that

434
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,400
are going on in the world.

435
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,039
Speaker 3: So this is a good point. Actually. So the national

436
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:47,480
the National Security strategy, I forget what it's called.

437
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which, yeah, go on.

438
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: It came out and one of the things that was

439
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,559
focused on was how we've had this long term alliance

440
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:04,400
with Europe, but that Europe is not upholding the Western

441
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:09,039
civilizational values that caused that alliance. A lot of Europe isn't.

442
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,759
There are some countries like Poland that are doing a

443
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,640
great job that we're growing stronger with, but there are

444
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,640
other countries like the UK that are violating certain long

445
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,359
held principles and it's making it harder to keep that alliance.

446
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,400
And that's a good example of something that a lot

447
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359
of Americans agree with and that have that concern. And

448
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,680
Trump has said and a Republican Party that wants to

449
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:39,839
have a strong future of leading on foreign policy should

450
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,680
be speaking about this.

451
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:46,319
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I guess I have to read it and

452
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,039
see what I think of it. And not to say

453
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:49,880
that they won't be popular or will be because of

454
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,759
my opinions, I'm just in general anyway. My point only

455
00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:56,880
is that the Republican Party will be very different, and

456
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,960
elections today are already not about Trump. In my view,

457
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:01,680
I don't think you're going to get very far with

458
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,440
any kind of you know, Trump derangement syndrome stuff in elections.

459
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,319
But I also don't think you're going to get away

460
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,599
with kind of just leaning on trump Ism and support

461
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,160
for Trump in elections in the midterms, in governor's races.

462
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,200
And I didn't if you saw, but Republicans are going

463
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,240
to lose a ton of state houses, you know, possibly

464
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,400
there's there's a big and those are incredibly important in

465
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,720
policies that actually affect people's lives. I know everyone's always

466
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,000
thinking about the presidency, but your your state elections are

467
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,319
far more important. Anyway, I think we're there and we

468
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,000
have to start thinking about what's going to happen. And

469
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:38,880
I do think there's going to be somewhat of a

470
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,319
little civil war in the Republican Party about the future.

471
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:46,279
Speaker 3: Well, on that note, David, I will just say I

472
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:49,799
am not going back like I am not. I mean

473
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,279
the Republican the Republican Party might go back to Bush

474
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,880
era neo conservatism and all that, but I'm not going

475
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,240
with it.

476
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,839
Speaker 2: But that's who wants to go back. That's there's a

477
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:02,559
los choice. And not saying I mean.

478
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: You don't live in DC. I do. Much of the

479
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,680
wants to go back.

480
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: Yes, if people want to go back to the well

481
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:13,759
like for instance, Donald Trump's all of his most popular policies,

482
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,839
especially in his first term, but even today are policies

483
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,880
that were supported rhetorically at least by Republicans forever, even

484
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,599
if they didn't follow.

485
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,799
Speaker 3: It's like John McCain would say, we're going to build

486
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,279
a wall to keep the immigrants out, and then when

487
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:27,440
he got in Congress or when he was elected, he'd

488
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,799
be like, no, we're going to do amnesty. I never

489
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:33,079
said that. I understand that people talked the way that

490
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,400
Trump talks right in order to get elected and then

491
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:39,160
and then didn't do what they said. What I'm saying

492
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,440
is I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just not doing it.

493
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,920
But I want someone who speaks clearly, forthrightly, is proud

494
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,119
to be American, and then also implements the policies he

495
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,480
claims he believes in.

496
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we need conservatives, not status like JD. Vance

497
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,519
and others who just want to use the state, the

498
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:58,960
welfare state. There's no lever of power he does yet.

499
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,759
Speaker 3: And I'm also not going back to that thing of

500
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,839
like we're going to do nothing while the Democrats destroy

501
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,880
the country, and then when we're elected, we're going to say, oh,

502
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,880
we're not going to use the government. Like I'm not

503
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,519
doing that either.

504
00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:11,799
Speaker 2: I'm just you should be dismantled.

505
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:13,519
Speaker 3: You should be by the way you just said that.

506
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:15,279
They don't want to go back to that thing that

507
00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:17,359
you clearly want to go back to I don't.

508
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,039
Speaker 2: Want to go back to that.

509
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: I want to I want them to follow through on

510
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,759
all the things that they're they're talking about them totally

511
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:25,720
for that. By the way, Congress doesn't do that because

512
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,839
they probably can't, but even they don't try.

513
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,799
Speaker 2: And I agree with that.

514
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,319
Speaker 1: But this idea that you have to be Mitt Romney

515
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,279
or you have to be some kind of you know,

516
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,640
pap Buchanan type, that's not the choice. Papu Can was

517
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,920
never popular in this country and he's not going to

518
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,119
be popular tomorrow in this country. And but Reagan was popular.

519
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Now I'm not saying go back to Reagan. I know

520
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,880
everyone gets all upset.

521
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:46,839
Speaker 2: But the the the.

522
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,319
Speaker 1: Heritage types now, I guess and others who want to

523
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,039
just wash away the last fifty years because that's what

524
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:54,920
they always say, the last forty years are terrible and

525
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,240
go back to a Republican party. There's just an other

526
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,720
big government party. I don't think that that that's right either.

527
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Donald Trump is not that guy. When you look at

528
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,519
what he does, his deregulation, even his foreign policies not

529
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:12,359
neo conservative, but is it is activists in a way

530
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:16,319
for American interests. It's not isolationists and all those things.

531
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:19,240
That is much more in line with the traditional fusionist

532
00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:23,000
vision of conservatism than it is. This paleo vision that

533
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,240
I'm supposed to believe is the future, which I don't

534
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,200
think will appeal to most Americans, including all the protectionism.

535
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:29,279
Speaker 2: So you're smiling.

536
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying I'm not going back. That's all

537
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,319
I'm saying.

538
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: I want's going back.

539
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: That's just what you talk about makes me just want

540
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:41,640
to never vote Republican every Well.

541
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to go back to the nineteen forties

542
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:46,319
to seventies when they were out of power with their

543
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,960
isolationist views and their post liberal economic views. I mean,

544
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,480
the Republican Party incidentally, before nineteen eighty was out of

545
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,599
power for long decades.

546
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: And decades and decades. Why would I want to go

547
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,519
back to that either.

548
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 4: The Treasury just made a huge announcement regarding illegal immigrants.

549
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:12,759
The Watchdot on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski. Every

550
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:15,559
day Chris helps unpack the connection between politics and the

551
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:18,279
economy and how it affects your wallet. The Treasury says

552
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:22,039
illegal immigrants will be removed from the financial system completely.

553
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,920
If you can't get a job here, and you can't

554
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,119
get benefits, you're not going to come. This should have

555
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,759
been done years ago. Whether it's happening in DC or

556
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:30,720
down on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially.

557
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:31,319
Speaker 2: Be informed.

558
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,559
Speaker 4: Check out the watchdod on Wall Street podcast with Chris

559
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,519
Markowski on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

560
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,119
Speaker 3: I think what is needed are people realizing how on

561
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,559
the brink things are. I don't mean this like in

562
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,480
a we're all going to die tomorrow or the country's

563
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,599
going to implode, but there have been a lot of

564
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:57,440
genuinely bad things done to how we run this country

565
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,119
and how we run various states in the LA one

566
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:06,920
hundred years, and people need to take it seriously and

567
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:14,160
have very aggressive ideas for how to restore the country.

568
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,400
I mean to take one years great example, the mass

569
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:21,799
immigration crisis that has been beset upon us by people

570
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:26,480
in both parties. Yes, but you know, we think of

571
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:29,960
it most notably with the overt efforts of the Biden

572
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,519
administration to just completely open up the borders incentivize the

573
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:37,799
worst people in the world to come here and take

574
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:42,799
advantage of our very generous socialism and welfare systems and

575
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:47,920
to destroy the country, like it's destroying the way people

576
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:51,279
interact with each other. We're in a low trust We're

577
00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:53,599
in a much more low trust system now than we

578
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:58,920
were previously. We have massive groups engaging in fraud with

579
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:02,680
the help of our systems and people running those systems

580
00:31:02,759 --> 00:31:06,319
and our administrative state. Like these are really serious problems.

581
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:09,359
And to have people be like focused on other countries

582
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,880
instead of our own country or to I understand that

583
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680
foreign policy requires us to be focused on other countries, And.

584
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand why you can't do both

585
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,960
things at once. It's just to me such a false choice.

586
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,480
We can have a foreign policy, we kind of a

587
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,319
domestic policy. One does not undermine the other. Just seems

588
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:25,559
like I do.

589
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,839
Speaker 3: You can have a much higher percentage of caring about

590
00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:30,359
what's happening in your own country and a lower percentage

591
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:31,920
of caring about other countries.

592
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:35,319
Speaker 2: I don't know that we do care about what's going on.

593
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:37,359
Speaker 3: Or like even so much. Which countries we care about

594
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,359
is important too, you know, Like looks like we're ending

595
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,319
the Ukraine Russia thing now we're picking up on Venezuela.

596
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Still not doing probably what's necessary with regard to China.

597
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:54,839
But anyway, it's just people need to be aggressive about

598
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:58,640
solutions to some of our problems, and the mass immigration

599
00:31:58,759 --> 00:32:01,640
crisis is a major one. And I was glad to

600
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,119
see that the Supreme Court will be taking up the

601
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,400
case of the Executive Order on birthright citizenship.

602
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:12,359
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, I don't know how that's going

603
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,119
to turn out, though there's a lot of precedent going

604
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,559
the other you know, in the way that it will stand,

605
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:18,160
I think, but maybe.

606
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: There was wrong Greme Court precedent going the other way.

607
00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:25,559
There's been a pattern of when immigration, particularly like a

608
00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:28,039
long time ago, was at a much lower level, of

609
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:30,759
not treating it like the existential crisis that it is

610
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,960
to have people come here legally and then have children

611
00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:36,839
and live here for a long time. But I don't

612
00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:39,039
think there's I don't think it's kind of crazy that

613
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:42,759
the Court hasn't taken this up earlier, but I'm glad

614
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:43,519
they're doing it now.

615
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,839
Speaker 1: The way around that problem is to shut your borders

616
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,640
and not let illegal immigrants into this country. Also, when

617
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,839
people overstay their visas, they should be thrown out. Let's

618
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,319
talk about ice. Then, I guess it's a good segue. Right,

619
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,119
So we have Ice acting in a way they've never

620
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,559
acted before. They're going after a legal immigrants across the country.

621
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:06,440
You'd think that this was Nazi Germany right now to

622
00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:11,200
hear Democrats talk about it, Mom, Donnie the new Well,

623
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,960
I guess the incoming mayor of New York City explain

624
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,680
it to me. I think he had a video or

625
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,319
something where he showed people how to avoid ICE attentions, right,

626
00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:23,200
something like that.

627
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did put a video out and he was like,

628
00:33:25,759 --> 00:33:28,000
if you know, here's what you should do if ICE

629
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:29,799
comes knocking, and here's what you don't have to do.

630
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,680
And he kind of had a big leaf at the end,

631
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,119
like don't actually commit violence if ICE is coming after you.

632
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,000
But it was a really good reminder that for a

633
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,640
lot of prominent Democrats, they view illegal aliens, and in

634
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,319
some cases, in many cases in New York City, criminal

635
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,000
illegal aliens. We're talking people who are accused of rapes

636
00:33:51,039 --> 00:33:54,400
and murders and child sex trafficking. They viewed that group

637
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,039
as a constituency that they care about, in some cases

638
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:03,559
more than actual American citizens. And Mamdannie won election in

639
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:11,800
part on the backs of immigrant voters. So non illegal alien.

640
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,199
Speaker 2: Folks.

641
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 3: But he It was just kind of shocking to see

642
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:23,800
that brazenness of him opposing ice enforcing the nation's laws,

643
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,400
particularly when he's like, I'm going to follow the international

644
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,519
law and arrest bb net and Yahoo if he comes

645
00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:33,400
to New York City, but he won't even follow his

646
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:38,639
own country's laws, his alleged own countries laws. When it

647
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:43,800
comes to enforcing border security and removing criminal illegal aliens.

648
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,519
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as international in the United States.

649
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Can't usurp the constitution and the law. But Mamdannie is

650
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,920
exactly the kind of immigrant we don't want.

651
00:34:55,039 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 2: I mean nothing. He hates this country. What I'm serious, Yes,

652
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:05,280
I know that's that we're not supposed to say that.

653
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: We're supposed to pretend every immigrant is great and every

654
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,960
immigrant wants to be an American, But that's just not true.

655
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,000
People come here for idealistic reasons, and they come here

656
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:18,920
for material reasons, and that's fine. But if you know,

657
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,599
when you take the oath of citizenship, it says that

658
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:26,440
you will place the Constitution above all other laws and everything,

659
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,599
and they do not do it, they're bad immigrants. And

660
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:30,599
if they don't believe in it, they're bad immigrants, and

661
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:34,599
Mom Donnie is a bad immigrant. So I am pro

662
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:38,559
immigration for obvious reasons, personal and otherwise, but we have

663
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:40,760
to do a better job of thinking about who we

664
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,960
allow into this country and how they're going to assimilate.

665
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,119
And Mom Donnie, I think is a poster shop for

666
00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:45,960
the opposite.

667
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

668
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: I looked at this Ice story and he tells, you know,

669
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,519
he gives them legal things to say, like you know,

670
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:53,079
you don't have a warrant, you can't come in, and

671
00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:54,960
so forth and so on, but it does speak to

672
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:58,639
what he finds important, right. He finds it important that

673
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,880
a place that has a housing christ affordability crisis and

674
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,400
all these things, even though you know it's more complicated

675
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,360
than just immigrants but or legal immigrants, but he finds

676
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,639
that more important than anything else going on. He finds

677
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:13,280
it more important to say he's going to arrest beeB

678
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,880
neta Yahoo than anything that's actually going on in the

679
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,920
city because he's a complete radical. And I hope, you

680
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,360
know whatever, so New York deserves what they get with him.

681
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: I will say, I thought he was going to tone

682
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,559
it way down so that he could work with the

683
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:28,840
business community and other interest groups. In New York City

684
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,360
and that he's I'm not sure, you know, he had

685
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:38,239
that very friendly meeting with Donald Trump, but then he's

686
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,079
like back out there seeming to be the radical that

687
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:41,320
he is.

688
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,039
Speaker 1: But anyway, did you see who he surrounded himself with,

689
00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:46,800
like as advisors. One guy's a former con you know,

690
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:48,679
I forgot what he did, something terrible.

691
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: He's in jail for seven years.

692
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,079
Speaker 1: And some other radicals who want to defund the police,

693
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:54,639
uh and stuff like that.

694
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:55,079
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

695
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: I guess New Yorkers get what they do. You know

696
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,719
what they want here. Truth is that New York is

697
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,119
almost ungovernable, and it doesn't it matters who the mayor is.

698
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:05,880
But it doesn't matter as much as it might in

699
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,079
a smaller town, I think because the city councils.

700
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:12,159
Speaker 2: Are it's already you know, you have socialists there.

701
00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:15,599
Speaker 3: So I was trying to get you to talk about

702
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,199
Humphrey's executor and how that might be overturned in Supreme

703
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:21,480
Court by referencing the Supreme Court. But I'm just going

704
00:37:21,519 --> 00:37:23,360
to bluntly suggest that we.

705
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: Talk about it as usual. I miscues given to me

706
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:27,519
by others.

707
00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 3: So I think Humphrey's executor is this case that people

708
00:37:32,679 --> 00:37:35,840
love to talk about as what people who are interested

709
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,440
in Supreme Court jurisprudence usually have a list of what

710
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,559
they think are the worst cases in Supreme Court history.

711
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,239
So dred Scott would be one that you hear a lot.

712
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,880
Movie Wade, of course, was one that you hear about

713
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,480
a lot. And Humphrey's Executor was this landmark decision in

714
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:58,320
nineteen thirty five that ruled that the Constitution permits Congress

715
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,760
to enact laws that limit the president's ability to fire

716
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,679
executives in certain agencies. So they created what they you know,

717
00:38:06,679 --> 00:38:11,239
they said, there's these independent agencies where the president can't

718
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:18,719
terminate because these agencies, they say, have our quasi legislative

719
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,280
or quasi judicial. So there was this guy, William Humphrey,

720
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,639
who was Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, and Roosevelt

721
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:32,480
had fired him, not not Wilson. Roosevelt had disagreed with

722
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:38,119
him about economic regulation and the New Deal, and there

723
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:42,800
had been a bill that prohibited firing an FTC commissioner

724
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,280
for any reason other than like malfeasance, and he disagreed

725
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,199
with him on policy. And at the time that this

726
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,559
Supreme Court decision was made, it was always bad, but

727
00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:55,920
at the time it was made, these independent agencies or

728
00:38:56,039 --> 00:39:01,440
quasi independent or legislative, quasi judicial, quasi legislative agencies, there

729
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,400
weren't that many of them, and they weren't that important.

730
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,159
And then in the ninety years, hence they have become

731
00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:13,119
massive in terms of their ability to control regulate parts

732
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:16,000
of the economy. And so what was a bad decision

733
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:18,519
to begin with has become like a horrifically bad decision

734
00:39:18,599 --> 00:39:23,079
for a constitutional republic, because having people who can't be

735
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:26,559
held account, having people in executive offices that are not

736
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,880
under the control of the executive is a constitutional nightmare.

737
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:34,960
And so Donald Trump kind of took this on and he,

738
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,519
you know, he's being sued over the removal of people

739
00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:44,159
from various boards and agencies like the National Labor Relations Board,

740
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,199
and so the Supreme Court heard arguments this week on that,

741
00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:52,360
and people widely considered the way that the arguments went

742
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:56,559
to indicate that this will be at least a six'

743
00:39:56,679 --> 00:40:00,840
to three decision in favor of the executive of having

744
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,800
the authority to fire people in executive in the executive.

745
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,559
Speaker 1: Branch trump the slaughter is the, case and, yeah so

746
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:13,559
THE ftc was created Under, wilson AND i guess the

747
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,480
argument is that it is quasi legislative and even. JUDICIAL

748
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:23,480
i think they were, saying but of course there is

749
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:27,960
no there can't be. Anything an independent agency can't, Exist

750
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,639
there's no such thing in the. Constitution there's no fourth

751
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,559
branch of, government of, course such AS i, mean this

752
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:36,880
is like right down his, alley, right this is the

753
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,559
kind of stuff he.

754
00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: Hates so hopefully we'll see the end of. It AND.

755
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,119
Speaker 1: I saw a bunch of stories from left wing media

756
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,360
saying that this Gives trump unchecked power of a. Dictator

757
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:57,280
AND i just don't understand why they believe that these

758
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,320
giant bureaucracies and people with tremendous power should be immune

759
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,079
from the electoral, process essentially when they're supposedly fans of,

760
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:08,960
democracy LIKE i SHOULD i should be the one.

761
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,519
Speaker 3: Who is having people who can't be. Fired that's.

762
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean what you're saying is that there's the.

763
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,760
President it's.

764
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,039
Speaker 1: Funny they're always for giving power to wherever they, are

765
00:41:19,199 --> 00:41:21,960
and they're in the bureaucracies like this is their power

766
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,239
center all the. Time my concern always is that these

767
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,760
sorts of these sorts of decisions are are you, know

768
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,480
are you have these decisions and then everyone just ignores

769
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:36,960
them like janis or you, know there's just a ton

770
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,679
of decisions on our bureaucracy is still, huge, right and

771
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,760
no one does anything about.

772
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,639
Speaker 3: IT i don't actually think it's that people are ignoring.

773
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,320
Them it's takes a while for something to work its way.

774
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,679
Through like the big problem With congress devolving all authority

775
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,360
to the executive agencies took a long time to build

776
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,880
up and it's going to take a long time to.

777
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,519
Correct like having the tools to do it is. IMPORTANT i,

778
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:02,840
mean it's even like with The dobbs. Decision it doesn't

779
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,679
solve the debate of ending unborn humans, lives it does

780
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,880
give people a chance to start. FIGHTING i, mean it

781
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,639
was kind of. Crazy it was a fifty year battle

782
00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:15,639
just to get to the starting. Line and with removing

783
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:19,840
some of this administrative agency, tyranny it's going to take

784
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:20,159
time to.

785
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: Unravel Well Chevron chevron was overturned, too and it just

786
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,360
doesn't seem like much has, changed so hopefully in the

787
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,960
long run it. Does but CAN i quickly just say

788
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,800
That sotomayor said that you're asking us to destroy the

789
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,000
structure of government is what she. Says And i'm, like,

790
00:42:33,079 --> 00:42:36,679
yes we are asking you to destroy. THIS i want

791
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:38,719
to go back, Here, MOLLY i want to go back

792
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,360
to a time where they weren't these agencies running the.

793
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: Country is really what's happening right for a lot of.

794
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 3: People so, Anyway, Yeah Randy, barnett WHO i just think

795
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,639
is wonderful and.

796
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 2: A great explainer on.

797
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,199
Speaker 3: This, yeah, sorry, writer but he also had just like

798
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,199
a brief tweet THAT i really enjoyed where she, says you,

799
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,639
know the argum meant is that allowing the president to

800
00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:08,199
remove administrative officials will transfer an enormous amount of power

801
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:14,719
to the. President the question transfer from whom who currently

802
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,280
has all that? Power so you saw it in the

803
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,039
media and you reference. This everyone was, like Like axio,

804
00:43:21,119 --> 00:43:24,480
said The Supreme court will hear arguments On monday On

805
00:43:24,599 --> 00:43:28,119
President trump's firing of A democrat Federal trade commissioner in

806
00:43:28,119 --> 00:43:33,360
a case that could quote dramatically inflate the president's power

807
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,679
to reshape the. Government so who currently has this dramatic

808
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,199
power to shape the. Government and when the answer.

809
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,039
Speaker 2: Is what the? Desocracy, yeah of, Course so.

810
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:50,519
Speaker 3: These people want the an unelected unaccountable bureaucracy to have

811
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:53,079
all this power to shape the government and not the

812
00:43:53,079 --> 00:43:57,760
people or they're elected representatives or. Leaders and The Wall Street.

813
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,440
JOURNAL i, was, oh, Gosh so The Wall Street journal

814
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,000
subscription is very, expensive so we canceled it a while,

815
00:44:05,079 --> 00:44:07,920
back and they won't stop sending it to our, house

816
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,159
which makes it difficult because, normally when you go on

817
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,159
vacation or, something you can pause the distribution of the,

818
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:17,159
paper but we can't because we already canceled, it but

819
00:44:17,199 --> 00:44:21,000
they keep sending. It. ANYWAY i was taking the train On,

820
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:24,119
monday pick up the paper that's out there that is

821
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:27,280
being sent to, me and on the front, page The

822
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,679
Wall Street journal, Wrote trump's firing spree at federal agencies

823
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,760
has snowballed into A Supreme court showdown about how Modern

824
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,880
american government should work with the independence of experts at.

825
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,039
STAKE i love this idea that in a constitutional, government

826
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,800
that anybody in the government should be quote, independent that

827
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,199
anyone shouldn't be accountable to the, People LIKE i, know

828
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,480
that's How europe does things in other. Countries We're. America

829
00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:59,239
we don't do, independence. Right and then the other THING

830
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,440
i love is this idea that there are experts in the,

831
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,960
government and no offense to my many fine friends working

832
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,760
in the federal, government but, like, REALLY i, mean do

833
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,840
we really think that we're talking ABOUT i, mean first of,

834
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,039
all when you're firing like a head of an, agency

835
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:18,400
they're not. Experts they're politicals, Right they're they're. Political they're

836
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,519
people who are put there because they're. Political they might be,

837
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:24,239
smart they might be well, credentialed but this idea that

838
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,119
we are supposed to be governed by experts instead of

839
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:31,480
the people is Very wilsonian in its thinking and completely.

840
00:45:31,679 --> 00:45:34,199
Unconstitutional well two.

841
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: Things one what makes me laugh is that just the

842
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,840
hypocrisy That democrats want to democratize the judicial. System they

843
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,639
want to add seats onto The Supreme. Court they want The,

844
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,159
court which is the one agency that is counter, majoritarian

845
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,440
to become. Majoritarian but yet they want these agencies to

846
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:58,239
function on their. OWN i do actually think independence with

847
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,039
a small eye is a good thing for like THE.

848
00:46:01,079 --> 00:46:04,119
Speaker 2: Fed i'm not saying they should, be but they shouldn't.

849
00:46:03,679 --> 00:46:08,519
Speaker 1: Be immune from Being that's an agency under the executive,

850
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:11,159
branch and that's who the answer. To, NOW a good

851
00:46:11,159 --> 00:46:13,559
president will let put good people in those. Spots and

852
00:46:13,639 --> 00:46:18,280
let them function without being constantly you, know scared to

853
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,599
do the right thing because you, know for political. Reasons

854
00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:23,440
but that's a different, story that kind of independence and

855
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,039
the independence that that The democrats, want which is to

856
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:26,880
say they can't be.

857
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,519
Speaker 3: Fired AND i do think that assuming that humphrase executors,

858
00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:37,360
overturned that you will see presidents frequently even if they

859
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:41,880
disagree with someone or have problems with, someone they they

860
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:48,719
might let them stay for reasons including that when you replace,

861
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,639
someone you, know you bear more responsibility for. It, actually

862
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:54,960
THAT'S i could also see it being just where they

863
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,960
turn over everybody immediately upon. It it could be, election

864
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,639
which is perhaps.

865
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: Fine one of the one of the factors that makes

866
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,679
our governance, BETTER i think than a parliamentary system is.

867
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,280
Stability so if you have someone at the feder's just

868
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,920
doing a good, job it's good to keep them on.

869
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:13,960
Whatever but, YEAH i could SEE i could see you

870
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,679
going into another, direction WHICH i don't think is, Great

871
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:20,159
but that's still that's up to the. Electorate the president

872
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,880
runs or a candidate, runs he Says i'm not going

873
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,760
to fire THE faed, guy OR i am going to you,

874
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,880
know and people get to Decide that's how it. Works

875
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,840
there are democratic and you know, forces and then there

876
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,320
are undemocratic forces in.

877
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,039
Speaker 3: GOVERNMENT i just want to do a little side note,

878
00:47:34,119 --> 00:47:36,480
here which, IS i, was are you going to a

879
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,239
lot of? PARTIES i feel like we're just doing nothing

880
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,000
but Doing christmas parties here IN.

881
00:47:41,159 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: Bc as you, KNOW i avoid those things that IF i,

882
00:47:44,519 --> 00:47:45,639
Can BUT i have gone to a.

883
00:47:45,679 --> 00:47:50,079
Speaker 3: Couple, Yes BUT i met someone at a fun party

884
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,239
of A fox. Colleague and this was related to an,

885
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,199
agency not one of these quasi judicial or quasi legislation of,

886
00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:04,480
agencies just when we all, acknowledge is an executive, agency

887
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,800
and you know he's done some auditing work of that,

888
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:14,400
agency and the percentage of people who were qualified for

889
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:20,800
a particular job that he was overseeing was. SHOCKING i

890
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,920
mean by this that they were hiring for people that

891
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,800
were supposed to have a certain skill. Set but somehow

892
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,199
all of our arcane bureaucratic rules and regulations made it

893
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,280
so that if someone claimed that they had an expertise

894
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,000
in a particular, area you weren't allowed to determine that by.

895
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:43,639
Testing apparently testing was viewed as racist or something like,

896
00:48:43,679 --> 00:48:46,400
that so you couldn't. Test so someone said that they

897
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,519
had a certain. Skill let's say this is not the,

898
00:48:48,599 --> 00:48:50,800
case but let's say it was a coding a coding,

899
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,960
skill and they just put it on their. Resume that

900
00:48:53,079 --> 00:48:55,360
was the furthest you could. Take. It couldn't even ask

901
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,679
questions about, it, Right and so an audit was done

902
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:02,519
of what percentage of let's say there were five thousand

903
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:07,360
people in this, position what percentage had the skill that

904
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,519
they were hired to? Have And i'm just going to

905
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:13,280
ask you to guess what or like how many out

906
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,599
of five thousand just.

907
00:49:14,599 --> 00:49:17,119
Speaker 2: From your, TONE i would say, low like ten?

908
00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 3: Percent literally it was like just over a. Dozen. Wow

909
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,480
so that's what we're dealing with with the expertise in our.

910
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:33,119
Government and just imagine that like across every, agency across

911
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,800
every issue area like things that would however messed Up

912
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,519
Corporate america, is and it can be very messed. Up

913
00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:42,679
it's nothing nearly so bad as.

914
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,559
Speaker 1: That, yeah because there's SOME i, mean a company will

915
00:49:46,599 --> 00:49:48,559
go out of business and NEW ceo, comes what you,

916
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,440
know trims the. Workforce you can't do any of that,

917
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:56,440
here it's too. Difficult we'll. See do you want to

918
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,400
talk ABOUT i think that you said you were going

919
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,199
to disagree with me on, this the speaking of stupid government.

920
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,639
Ideas the gym's in the airport thing THAT ourfk has

921
00:50:05,679 --> 00:50:07,000
come up, With, now what's your what's?

922
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:09,039
Speaker 3: Your explain what you're talking about.

923
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:15,159
Speaker 1: First, so from WHAT i, saw and it just, happened

924
00:50:15,159 --> 00:50:17,719
ironically THAT i was on a line at an airport

925
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,639
WHEN i was reading this on my, PHONE ourfk has

926
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:23,360
come up with this idea of putting gyms in airports

927
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,679
so that people can do a little exercise between flights

928
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,079
or what they're waiting for flights or. WHATEVER i think

929
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,480
getting all sweaty at a mini gym BEFORE i go

930
00:50:33,519 --> 00:50:36,320
on a flight is A i'm in a you, KNOW

931
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,280
a two foot by two foot seat is a really

932
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,360
Bad right next to somebody is a bad. Idea more

933
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,920
even worse is that the person next to me might

934
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,559
have gone to a gym before. THAT i don't think

935
00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:51,679
we need gyms and. AIRPORTS i think we need flights

936
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,320
to be on time SO i don't have to run

937
00:50:53,559 --> 00:50:57,840
across the terminal like the five mile, terminal to get

938
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,920
to another gate to see.

939
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: If my delayed flight is taken. OFF i got enough.

940
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,639
Speaker 1: EXERCISE i was At Kennedy AIRPORT jfk the other day

941
00:51:05,679 --> 00:51:08,239
AND i was online the security line for like an

942
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,320
hour and a half and then my flight was delayed

943
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,880
AND i had to go to another, terminal take a.

944
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,320
Bus THEN i had to run across a terminal catch my.

945
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,239
Flight that was enough exercise for. ME i don't THINK

946
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,440
i need a gym in the, Airport please tell me

947
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:20,840
WHY i.

948
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 3: DO a couple of TIMES i have had to run so,

949
00:51:26,559 --> 00:51:30,679
hard so fast that it's, embarrassing you. Know and one,

950
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:33,320
time WHEN i was much, younger had to catch a

951
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,639
flight In, atlanta which is an insane. Airport, yeah and

952
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,440
SO i had a connection and running across AND i

953
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:46,199
passed out WHEN i made it into the into then

954
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,039
committed on the.

955
00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:49,559
Speaker 1: Plane SO jfk is so old that they don't even

956
00:51:49,599 --> 00:51:51,639
have like just one or two. Terminals it looks like

957
00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:53,119
all spread out and you have to get on.

958
00:51:53,199 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: Bus it's just, terrible.

959
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: Right and THEN i also recently with my, assistant was

960
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,719
running from one end Of chicago O'Hare to, another AND i,

961
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,679
mean we're, panting and, like you, know we made. It

962
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,320
and when we got to the, flight the flight attendant was,

963
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,400
like we were holding the plane for. You you did

964
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,719
not need to run this, hard And i'm, like, okay

965
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:21,280
well no one told me, so thank. You but WHAT

966
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,840
i saw from a Secretary duffy was that they're just

967
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,000
putting in things that would enable just a little bit

968
00:52:30,119 --> 00:52:34,000
of physical, activity like a bar that people can try

969
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,559
to do pull ups. On this does not take up

970
00:52:36,599 --> 00:52:40,400
a huge amount of. Space, also as someone who unfortunately

971
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:45,920
has to fly all the, time it's true that it

972
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,880
disrupts your workout schedule in a way that can be,

973
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,280
difficult and sometimes you're just doing literally nothing LIKE i

974
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,239
bring a, PAPERBACK i listen to, PODCASTS i make phone.

975
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,400
Calls BUT i would like to have as part of

976
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,719
it the chance to easily do a little bit of physical.

977
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,559
Activity right, NOW i do it WHERE i just kind

978
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:07,800
of do like a leaning push up against like a

979
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,559
chair that's that's sitting. There but it's also kind OF

980
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:14,360
i wish THAT i could do it in a little

981
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,880
bit of, privacy you, know or a you, know like

982
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,840
a stand against the wall or jumping jacks or a

983
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,719
jump rope or something like. That it doesn't need to

984
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,880
take up a bunch of, Space and it also reminds

985
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:33,199
people that physical health is important and that it is you,

986
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,400
know something that we should encourage in each. Other and

987
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,400
sometimes people do have trouble in on planes with blood

988
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,320
cloths and other, things and so it's just like not to.

989
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,760
Me it's just not the worst idea in the, world

990
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,719
and in fact would have some. BENEFITS i think would

991
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,039
normalize doing a little bit of physical.

992
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,079
Speaker 1: OUTPUT i guess IF i just IF i had a

993
00:53:53,119 --> 00:53:55,360
list right of stuff THAT i think they should be

994
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,679
doing at, airports putting a pull up bar in, THERE

995
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,679
i think would be you, know in the hundred or

996
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:05,920
two hundred. Area the other idea for them is that they're,

997
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,599
going you, know to have healthier.

998
00:54:08,199 --> 00:54:13,679
Speaker 2: Food at, airports WHICH i think they. Do there is

999
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,159
always a place with some kind of salad stuff that

1000
00:54:16,199 --> 00:54:18,599
you can buy. Already usually LIKE i, mean it looks pretty.

1001
00:54:18,599 --> 00:54:21,119
GROSS i don't know how about.

1002
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 3: It's like it's like fried food or it's like, prepackaged,

1003
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,599
yeah stuff that's like been sealed in plastic that you're,

1004
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:32,039
LIKE i don't know anything about the cleanliness of this

1005
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,719
salad or you, know JUST i know that's a issue

1006
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,639
wherever you're, Going but you want.

1007
00:54:36,559 --> 00:54:38,800

1009
00:54:39,039 --> 00:54:41,599
Speaker 1: AIRPORT i can't BELIEVE i did, that BUT i could

1010
00:54:41,639 --> 00:54:42,760
not have any more fried.

1011
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,079
Speaker 2: Food you, Know i'd been in. Airports the here's the.

1012
00:54:46,119 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: Thing food is so expensive at, airports and they don't

1013
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,199
really have the FACILITIES i think to make fresh. Food

1014
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,480
so that's the. Problem i'd rather have some kind of

1015
00:54:56,199 --> 00:54:57,760
more Competitive.

1016
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: I'll look at that, dog so, cute.

1017
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,480

1093
00:58:40,199 --> 00:58:46,079
Speaker 3: Life but it's, narrated which is always the sign of

1094
00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:49,280
a bad movie when you have to have a voice, OPENER.

1095
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: I hate you hate nothing more that you hate exposition

1096
00:58:52,039 --> 00:58:53,039
more than anything in a.

1097
00:58:53,079 --> 00:58:56,559
Speaker 3: Movie, True and at the end you realize that the

1098
00:58:56,679 --> 00:59:02,599
narrator was the dog real which doesn't like it's so

1099
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,800
Weird and it was billed as like a comedy and

1100
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,599
instead it's a, dark dark film about like marital, decline

1101
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,800
AND i was, like what is going?

1102
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: On oh? Man all?

1103
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,559
Speaker 3: RIGHT i went on Like twitter to see if other

1104
00:59:19,559 --> 00:59:21,639
people hated, it and they, didn't SO i don't know what's.

1105
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:24,400
WRONG i, mean nobody loved. It it has bad, reviews but,

1106
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:27,639
yeah it should be marked as a very as a

1107
00:59:27,679 --> 00:59:31,639
failed film with a dog. Narrator the dog Is Steve,

1108
00:59:31,679 --> 00:59:32,760

1109
00:59:33,159 --> 00:59:35,159
