Because it is Friday. 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: Let's just start with something a little light, But I 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 3: do want to mention though. 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: I was just sort of trolling backs before the show 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: and my friend Chris barn who's a political consultant, he's 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: traveling in Europe and he posted that he was so 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: surprised at the warm welcome he was getting in Rome 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: as an American. He said, you know, I always hear 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: these stories about Americans. Everybody hates Americans abroad, and people 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: have been nothing but lovely to us when they find 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: out we're Americans. And I want to say something about that, 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: because my family traveled to Portugal this year this summer 34 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: for our family trip, and we went. 35 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: We weren't on mainland Portugal. Actually we were. 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: On a remote chain of islands a few hours off 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: of Portugal, but their Portuguese islands, so they're a bit isolated. 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: But he even still they're dealing with a lot of 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: the same immigration stuff that we are. And for those 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: of you who don't know, just listening to my voice, 41 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: I'm black. My whole family's black. And when we went, 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: I was initially trying to speak Portuguese, not well because 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: I don't really know it, but you know, say the please, 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: thank you, where's the bathroom? All of that, just trying 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: to be a good tourist, responsible tourists, and you know, 46 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: people were very standoffish with us. 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: We weren't. It wasn't. I'd heard a lot of. 48 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: Stuff about the warmth of the Portuguese people, but are 49 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: welcome wasn't very warmth. 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: And eventually my son said, you know what, mom, I think. 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: You need to start to saying please and thank you, 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: to speak English, just talk like an American because I 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: think people think we're African. And you know what he 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: was right as to is I started identifying us as Americans, 55 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: identifying myself as Americans. 56 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 3: People were warm and welcoming and open, you know who. 57 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: They didn't like Canadians. They did not like Canadians. 58 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: Portugal has a pretty good land buying program right now 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: for foreigners and they have a large expat population in Canada, 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: so a lot of those people are buying land and 61 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: Portugal now and they don't like the Canadians because the 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: majority of the Portuguese are still very conservative. They're they're 63 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: dealing with the EU stuff that everyone else is, but 64 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: it's a conservative people and the Canadians, Canadians are godless. 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: I say this as a former Canadian like they are godless. 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: They are really, They're like the UK at this point, 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: and they come so they don't like them because they 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: come with all their liberal values and all their alphabet stuff, 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: and they think they just ruined things. 70 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: So they didn't like Canadians there at all. So they 71 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: didn't want us to be Canadian, and they didn't all 72 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: want us to be African. 73 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: But as soon as they found out we were American, 74 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: they loved us. 75 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: And guess what.

Or are we 178 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: going to make kids who grow up apologizing for themselves 179 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: or taking on the identity of victim and then making 180 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: that their entire lives. That's what we're doing now. We're 181 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: seeing the results of that complete chaos everywhere. The entire 182 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: system is crumbling. So I say, let's get back to 183 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: a time of indoctrination when we raise our kids, no 184 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: matter their race, their creed, where they're from, who their 185 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: parents are. We raise our kids to be fiercely proud 186 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 2: of America. I'm proud to be American, and we raise 187 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: our kids to believe that when their government steps over 188 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: the line, that we that we can take control and 189 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: house them, that we don't have to settle for corruption. 190 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break and when we come back, 191 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: we'll talk about Camela Wigan into some lighter things.

She's telling a 252 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: little story about Dougie. Oh, Dougie Dougie's in trouble. Dougie 253 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: forgot her birthday, and maybe there's some trouble there. 254 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and play this clip. 255 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 4: I mean, there's it's there's a lot of personal stuff 256 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: in the book. 257 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: I mean, poor Dougie.

Can 265 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: you imagine having to listen to that woman all day 266 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 2: every day? Even though I think she would have pulled 267 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: a Joe Biden had she won, she probably wouldn't have 268 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: been in front of that microphone very much. 269 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: She probably wouldn't. 270 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: You know, she didn't take questions when she was running 271 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: for president, so she definitely wasn't gonna be taking them 272 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: as president. 273 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: But still to have to wait to hear from your president, 274 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: and then when she speaks that comes out of her mouth. 275 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: We dodged a bullet America. When history tells the story 276 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four. It will tell the story of 277 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: a people who rose up in unity and said. 278 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely not, we will not cackle our way. 279 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: Through the next decade.

Correct, you said you're going 303 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 6: to set this one out. Why are you saying this? 304 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 6: Are you saving yourself for a different office? That might 305 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 6: be No. 306 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: Obviously people will project onto and honestly that it's it's 307 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: more perhaps basic than that.

But to be very candid 310 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 4: with you, I had to defend my decision to become 311 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 4: a prosecutor with my family. Is why is it then, 312 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: when we think we want to improve a system or 313 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 4: change it, that we're always on the outside on bendednee 314 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 4: or trying to break down the door.

It was 341 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: a system among Democrats that carried her to the US Senate, 342 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: where she could have spent several decades safely ensconced in 343 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: the system's club of clubs, costed it forever by California Democrats. 344 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 2: As an incumbent. Instead, Harris got bored with the lifetime 345 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: sincureless sincure less than halfway through her first term, choosing 346 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: to run for president.

Do you see what they're doing here? 358 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 2: The system is only broken when it doesn't work for them, right, 359 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: Democracy is only threatened when their people lose their fat paychecks. 360 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: They are the system and they're mad that they don't 361 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: control it anymore.

We've been 371 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: talking about Kamala Harris's appearance on Colbert last night, which 372 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: is also hilarious. 373 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 3: It's I I. 374 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: Think what's going on with Colbert is interesting because he's 375 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: clearly and I don't care mode, which fair enough. 376 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 3: Like when you get fired from. 377 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: A job and then you have to work out what 378 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: the remaining weeks or months on your contract. 379 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 3: It's always miserable, right. You don't want to be there. 380 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: The people that are around you don't want to be there. 381 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: You're not really part of the team anymore. It's awkward. 382 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 3: It's why most employers will just give you your. 383 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: Separence package and they won't make you live out your 384 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 2: two weeks there. Colbert is going to make it as 385 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: hard as on CBF as possible. I have no dog 386 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: in this fight. So I'm just sitting back with popcorn. 387 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: It seems like a bunch of people who deserve each other. 388 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: But it is interesting that he is going to go 389 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: down as big of a failure as he's been over 390 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: the last decade. He's just gonna keep failing all the 391 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: way to the bottom, I want. Interestingly enough, next week, 392 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: Greg Guttfeld is going to be on The Tonight Show, 393 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: or is going to be on Jimmy Fallon? 394 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: What's Jimmy Fallons? 395 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 2: He's the Tonight Show, He's the Tonight Show. Colbert's the 396 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: Late Show. I don't frigakin know. I don't watch these 397 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: shows anymore. I used to back in the day when 398 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: we just add TV. I don't watch these shows anymore. 399 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: Guttfelt Jimmy Fallon. 400 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 2: Is bringing on the leading conservative entertainment voice in. 401 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 3: TV. 402 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: I would say right now in TV that that's a 403 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: huge culture shift, that's a huge side of the time. 404 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: But meanwhile, while he's doing that, Colbert is just doing 405 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: the usual he had on Adam Schiff the other night. 406 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 2: Now Kamala Harris is gonna those that's gonna be the 407 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 2: lingering scent he leaves with the American public again it's 408 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 2: just doubling down on failure. He deserves to fail, So 409 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: he's just like, yeah, I'm just gonna bring on all 410 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,239 Speaker 2: of these people that no one's interested in, that are 411 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: losers that literally lost everything in the last election, betrayed 412 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: us with all of their lies, all of their you know, 413 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: pushing Biden's corpse out there. That's who he's gonna have on. 414 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 3: He's just gonna keep failing all the way to the end, 415 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 3: and I'm here for it. 416 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 2: Go ahead, cobt, do whatever it is that that tickles 417 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: your behind. But I do think it's really interesting that 418 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon is having Greg Guttfeldt next week. And I 419 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 2: do think that signals the culture shift. I do think 420 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: it's another signal. You put that on the heels of 421 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 2: the Sydney Sweeny thing, which we at length about yesterday. 422 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: You put it on the heels of that, and what 423 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: you're seeing is a culture snapping back. None of it 424 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: was organic, None of that stuff, the body positive, the 425 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: LGBTQ madness, none. 426 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: Of it was organic. None of it was real. 427 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: So now that we don't have the boot on our 428 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: nets of the government forcing us to say that two 429 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 2: plus two is five. We're snapping back, and that's what 430 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: all of this is about. And it's crazy that we're 431 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 2: having this conversation right now. It's crazy that it's crazy 432 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 2: for Gutfeld to go on, Jimmy Fallon, fallon, that's crazy. 433 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: Think about where we've gotten since twenty sixteen, and the 434 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 2: left did this to us. By the way, we know this, 435 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: I don't have to explain it, but in twenty sixteen, 436 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 2: something extraordinary happened. We went from being a society with 437 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people who disagree to a society that 438 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: decided that there was only one side of the issue 439 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: to be on and that anyone on the other side 440 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: was literally the enemy inso much as they could not 441 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 2: even be quote platform. Remember when the New York Times said, 442 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: we're no longer going to print the president's words word 443 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: for word. We're going to interpret it for you because 444 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 2: he needs context. 445 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: Remember that. 446 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: And that's what led to, I think the violent divisiveness 447 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 2: we have now, because they spent a whole decade painting 448 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 2: one half of the country as Baby Hitler's and now 449 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: all bets are off that. That's why this Russia, hope 450 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: hopes is important. It's important not to let that go, 451 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 2: because that led to the most destructive philosophy, the most 452 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 2: destructive ideas that nearly destroyed this country. And obviously, you 453 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 2: look around right now, we're still digging out. We're dealing 454 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: with the leftover brain watched victims who are now activated 455 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: to go out there and be violent. 456 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: However that's happening. 457 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 2: Clearly, we still have a lot, we've got a lot 458 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: of rot to dig out. 459 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 3: But that's why that's important, because. 460 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: All of that led to this idea that these people 461 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: on the left, these crazy, over medicated, hormonal weirdos on 462 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: the left. 463 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: Were able to begin picturing the rest of us as 464 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: direct threats to humanity. 465 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: And suddenly that little fun, little philosophy question we like 466 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 2: to bandy about at parties, if you had the opportunity, 467 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 2: would you kill Baby Hitler? 468 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 3: Suddenly they're looking at all of us as baby Hitler's. 469 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: So the culture ship, what's happening here is real fallin 470 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: to me, It's clear that Balance the only one of 471 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: those guys who has decided to save his job. He's 472 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 2: deciding to save the jobs of all the hundreds of 473 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: people that work on that show, which is ridiculous, but whatever, 474 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 2: that's what that is to me, that is the sign 475 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: of a team that has seen the writing on the 476 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: wall and is willing to shift to save their product. 477 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: It's a business, right, But Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, they're 478 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: doubling down on the failure. So I'm gonna be watching 479 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: Gutfeld's appearance on Balent next week in Tentley. It'll be 480 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: the first time I have ever turned on the Jimmy 481 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: Fallon show on purpose. 482 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: I'll probably record it. 483 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think all of this is interesting, and 484 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: so I do think it's very interesting that Kamla is 485 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 2: now suddenly. 486 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: Back out there with a book. She's saying. 487 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 2: Yesterday we giggled about her statements, saying, I'm gonna go 488 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: and see where I can. 489 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 3: Help get other Democrats elected. 490 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: It's like nobody's gonna want Kambala Harris on the stage 491 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: with them next year. 492 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 3: Who's gonna want Camela and Joe Biden on the stage. 493 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 3: What she doing, you guys? I think she's running for president. 494 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 3: I think she is. 495 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: I think she really is going to take another stab 496 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: at it in twenty eight. 497 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 3: Let's play this. 498 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: I've got one more clip. I want to play this 499 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 2: because Colbert asked the question that's on everybody's mind. I 500 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: don't even know what kind of a question is it 501 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: is at this point, except it's just designed to make 502 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: Democrats uncomfortable. But Colbert asked Paola who leads the Democrat Party. 503 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: Listen to her answer. 504 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 6: You're not running for office right now, you're stepping away 505 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 6: from that life right now. Who's leading the Democratic Party? 506 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 6: I'm just curious. 507 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 4: There are lots of leaders, and there was generally a leader. 508 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 6: Of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh, that's the 509 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 6: leader Donorty party, And who comes to mind. 510 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of I'm not going 511 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 4: to go through names because then I'm going to leave 512 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 4: somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it. 513 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: But let me just let me say this. I think 514 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 4: it is a mistake for us who want to figure 515 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 4: out how to get out and through this and get 516 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 4: out of it, to put it on the shoulders of 517 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 4: any one person. It's really on all of our shoulders. 518 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: It really is. 519 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: Well, mane of Vice President, thank you so much for 520 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 4: being Did you see the book. 521 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very diplomatic answer. That's my answer you 522 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: give when you went to run for president. You don't 523 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 2: want to elevate any of your opponents, right, you want 524 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: to appear authoritative, like you're above the fray. 525 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 3: I think she's gonna run at twenty eight. She is Beep. 526 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: If you've ever seen the HBO show Beep, go watch it. 527 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is deep. She is that lead character leave 528 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: off the last season. Last season trumbled to Trump's arrangement syndrome, 529 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: which was so sad because it was an amazing show. 530 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 3: But she is Beep. We dodged a bullet. 531 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: Don't think we need to ever worry about her sitting 532 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: in the Oval office, but it will be interesting to 533 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 2: see her, to see how a twenty twenty eight run 534 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: would look for her. And it's going to be a 535 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: lot of fodder. All right, let's take another break. I'm 536 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: Cure Davis filling in for Tony Katz, and you are 537 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: listening to Tony Katz today. Welcome back, everybody to Tony 538 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: Katz today. Tony Kats is out today Friday, August first. 539 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: Don't worry, I am here to usher you into the 540 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: weekend with my lovely, melodic, not at all annoying voice. 541 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 3: No one's ever annoyed by my boys, especially in this family. 542 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: But we'll get to the weekend together. I'm so happy 543 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: to be with you. It's always a pleasure and an 544 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: honor to fill in on the show. If you want 545 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: to know more about me, go find me on EXA 546 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: Real Kia Davis. I've been talking about Kamala and her intentions, 547 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: probably to run again in twenty twenty eight. I think 548 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: that's a great idea. I would love to see it. 549 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what motivates her. I think I was 550 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: thinking a little bit more about her comments about the 551 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: system in the break, and I think what we're seeing 552 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: here is that she has been pushed out, much like 553 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: the Bidens. And in that Colbert interview, I didn't play 554 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: this clip, I don't think, but she did say, look, 555 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 2: I didn't I never wanted to pile on President Biden. 556 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: Colbert asked her sort of in a round about way, 557 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: like why didn't you say anything, and she said, look, 558 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: I just didn't want. 559 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: To pile on. So she's still being loyal to him. 560 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 2: The books that I have read, and I have read 561 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: a couple, not Jake Tappers. I refuse to pay for 562 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: that book, but the books that I have read, and 563 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: behind the scenes of the campaign, you had to take 564 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: everything with a grain of sault. 565 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 3: But one consistent idea has been. 566 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: That she felt very loyal to the Bidens for whatever reason. 567 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 3: Maybe they had something on her. Maybe she genuinely felt 568 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 3: like her political. 569 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: Future was tied to their success. That's totally possible. They 570 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: are like a mafia family, and maybe she just thought, 571 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: if I stay loyal, I'll reap the benefits later. I 572 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: don't think anyone could have predicted how epically the entire 573 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 2: things crashed around their ears. I mean, and now they're broke. 574 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: The Bidens really have no way. They're a cartel, and 575 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: they have no way to make money when they don't 576 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: have access to power and influence. So I think that 577 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: Kamala has been pushed out. A lot of people are 578 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 2: mad at her, a lot of people on both sides 579 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: of the fence. There are people who felt like she 580 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: didn't fight hard enough, she could have fought harder, that 581 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: she was too nice, she didn't take it to the 582 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: Republicans enough. And there are other people who thought she's 583 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: too dumb, that she never should have been there in 584 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: the first place, that you know, she didn't make wise 585 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: decisions on the campaign trail. Whatever the reasons are, everybody 586 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: on the left hates her. She's so I I just 587 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: I think what she's saying when she says the system 588 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: is broken and I don't want to be in the system, 589 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: she means it's broken for her. 590 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 3: She's been working inside the system. 591 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: As Ed Morrissey at Hot airpoint out, she's been working 592 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: inside the system of her whole life. But it just 593 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: it just broke for her. So I think she can't 594 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 2: get back inside. And I think what she's going to 595 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: do for the next two years. When she talks about 596 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: I'm on this listening tour, I mean to go help 597 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: other Democrats get elected, I think what she's really saying is, 598 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go try to make some reputation, rehab with 599 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 2: the party, within the party so that. 600 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: I can climb back up. I feel sorry for people 601 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 3: like this, I really do. I think this becomes. 602 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: It's like being a professional athlete, you know, like a 603 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: Tom Brady or Mike Tyson, or you get so good 604 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: at the job, you get to the top, and it's 605 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: not about the money at a certain point. I know 606 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: for most of us in this audience that's hard to imagine. 607 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: We scraat bye week to week, but so we think 608 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: if we had a nice, pushy paycheck, should we be 609 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: fine with that and we would just go enjoy that 610 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 2: paycheck and live our lives. But it's not like that. 611 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: I was explaining this to my husband the other day. 612 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: He thinks the same way. Power is something different than money. 613 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes a lot of times they go together. But power 614 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: and influence are a different commodity than catch, and they 615 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: become addictive, and a lot of people just. 616 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 3: Don't want to give that up. 617 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: You know, the game, the love of the game, that 618 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: becomes addictive. So you're past your body's prime. You're holding 619 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: back your team by staying in your position. A lot 620 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: of these guys, it's not that they need the money. 621 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 2: They can't make any other decisions. They are literally compelled 622 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: to move forward in this life because it's all they've 623 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: ever known. And that's what I think a Kamala Harris is, 624 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: this is all she's ever known, It's what she was 625 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: basically bred for her entire life. 626 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: Now, look at the Obamas. 627 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: I have a lot of criticisms for the way the 628 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: Obamas are wasting their influence, but on the flip side 629 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 2: of that, at least they're taking their. 630 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 3: Money and running, you know, what I mean. 631 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 2: I know Obama is doing whatever he's doing behind the scenes, 632 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 2: but look at Michelle. She's out there podcasting, being a 633 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 2: bitter podcaster. 634 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 3: No one cares about what she's saying. But she's out 635 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 3: there living her best life. 636 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 2: She's writing book, she's hanging around Martha's vineyard, She's having 637 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 2: chats in her podcast studio like she's not running her office. 638 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 2: You know, she's not saying I'm trying to stay on 639 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: top of the heap here at least there's that. You 640 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: would think that Campbell will go and enjoy that money, 641 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 2: but she can't. This is all she has. This is 642 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 2: the only place she gets her validation. 643 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 3: Do you understand. 644 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 2: That's why these politicians stay where they are. The money 645 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 2: doesn't matter at a certain point. It's the only place 646 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 2: they get validation. That's why people need the Lord. That's 647 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 2: why you need the Lord. Your validation can't come from 648 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: your job. It has to come from something deeper than that. 649 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 2: It has to come from something external. This is why 650 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 2: you're founding. Fathers found it acceptable to credit God for 651 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 2: human rights because you have to have an outside, incorruptible 652 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: force to have any chance of moving forward normally in 653 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 2: this world. But when you become addicted to power and influence, 654 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 2: it's like being an alcohol addic or a methadic or 655 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 2: a crack addict. 656 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 3: You will do anything to get that high. 657 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 2: You will steal from anyone, you will hurt anyone, you 658 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 2: will go anywhere and sell anything. And that's what we're 659 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 2: seeing him. All right, let's take a break. We'll be 660 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 2: back back to hour with a lot more. I'm Kira 661 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 2: Davis filling in for Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katt.
