1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Live from the Heartland and the Crossroads of America.

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: It's Tony Katz today.

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Well, hey, everybody, Happy Monday to one and all. No,

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: I am not the Tony Katz. I'm not very Tony myself.

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm just Andrew Langer in for Tony today. So glad

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: I can join you on this Monday. It is Saint

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day Eve, and we will talk about this towards

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: the end of the show. I am listen. I love

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. I don't love it as much as

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: some of my buddies do, but I do. I do

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: celebrate it. We'll be celebrating tomorrow. We'll be celebrating on Saturday,

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: and we'll have some music and you're gonna hear my

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: experimentation with something called Sono. Over the weekend. We got

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: a great show. Today. We're gonna be joined by former

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Member of Congress Nan Hayworth. I've been remiss, my friend,

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I have been remiss in not having Nan Hayworth on

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: more recently.

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: NaN's a former Member of Congress from New York.

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: She's a good friend, and she's brilliant, and she's a doctor.

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: And so we're going to have Nan join us later

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: on in this hour. Brent Sadler, who's got a big brain,

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: and as I said in my email to him, I

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: am genuinely envious of him in his career. He is

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: going to be joining us in the second hour of

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: the show, and then Tim Graham is going to join

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: us from the Media Research Center.

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: I got a lot to talk about.

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: And part of the thesis to Tim Graham is he

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: does NewsBusters over there at MRC. My thesis to him is,

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: if a war happens in the Middle East and no

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: one there is to report it, does it really happen?

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Or if they misreport it, does it really happen. We're

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: going to talk to him about what's going on with

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the media. We'll talk to him about the Oscars, and

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: I want to start there all kinds of stuff going on. Obviously,

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: the Oscars were last night. I don't think there were

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: any major or up, says Landed. There weren't any major

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I know you didn't watch it either. I was otherwise

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: occupied last evening. Otherwise I would have been watching it.

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: I swear to God, guys, I'm not someone who comes

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: in and says, oh, Jada, I don't watch the other

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: don't watch the I watched the Oscars. I watch the

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Oscar because my wife likes to watch the Oscars. And

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of Conan O'Brien. Let me, let me,

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: let me get that out of the way. I am

46
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Conan O'Brien and a huge fan

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: of Conan O'Brien. When he is silly, when he is

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: uh sort of making these obscure references, I love it.

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: I love his podcast. I'm a I'm a big fan.

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: And when when he and Sona, his former assistant now

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: co host, when they go at each other, it is

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: it is comedy gold.

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta love a guy. You gotta love

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: a guy who.

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Likes nothing more than to do things to make his

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: co workers laugh. I mean, in an environment where you

57
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: do that obviously and regular job that would drive people

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: up the wall. You know, I probably, I don't know.

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: I emulated and by the way, you're gonna have.

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: To forget me.

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I didn't get a whole hell of a lot of

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: sleep last night for a lot of reasons. But it's

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: not that I emulate him. But this is kind of

64
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: how I approach my relationship with my kids and members

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: of my family. I like I'm always going for the

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: eye roll thing, always trying to go for the absurd.

67
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: Absurd, that's the word that I was looking for.

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: Anyway, I was looking forward to Conan O'Brien hosting I

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: from when I gathered there were mixed results. He did, however,

70
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: start off now. You might remember last year when he

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: hosted that he poked fun at Timothy Chalomey because his

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: last name it sounds like us, the way that Adam

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Sandler would speak gibberish to people. O ho chalame with

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: this Cajun accent and Adam Sandler last year in the audience. Well,

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: this year is stepping into last week's controversy. I'm sure

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: Tony talked to you all about it. Timothy Shallo May

77
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: stepped in it by essentially, shall we say, pooh poohing,

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: being dismissive of folks who do ballet.

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: And opera opera.

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Here he is here, here's Conan last night poking at Challamey.

81
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: Let's pick at number one. Security is extremely tight tonight.

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: I just got to mention that, yeah, I'm told there's

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: And then they cut to Chalomey, they're just Maggie left

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: out jazz.

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: That's funny. It's a genuinely funny line, I will tell you.

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: By the way, we're also going to play a little

88
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: bit of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, and I

89
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: have to say, yes, the dumb, the dumb sort of

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: state politics. Aside, there have been some real hits in

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live Over the Weekend. They also poke fun

92
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: at chalomet about him trashing opera and ballet while doing

93
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: a ping pong movie. But of course it's the Oscars,

94
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: it's Hollywood, so it's got to get political, and it's

95
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: got to get political.

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: Pretty darn quick. Again.

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: In the opening segment, here is Conan pivoting to Coney

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: getting political, getting spicy.

99
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: Let's play cut number two.

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: It's the first time since twenty twelve, first time since

101
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: twenty twelve. But there are no British actors nominated for

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: Best Actor or Best Actress. Yeah, British spokes versus said, yeah, well,

103
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 3: at least we arrest our pedophiles, So you got.

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: That, which would be great if there wasn't a you know,

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: rampant rumor about about the role that Hollywood is playing

106
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: in in pedophilia and trafficking. Lord knows whichever of the

107
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: corries it is who is still alive and is sortifiably crazy.

108
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Uh he he can attest a test to that. I

109
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe maybe I'm reading too much into it.

110
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: Maybe just maybe Conan O'Brien was making some kind of

111
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: a reference to Kevin Spacey and Michael Jackson.

112
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: I kind of think that he wasn't, but maybe maybe

113
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: he was.

114
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: So it opened it up, and uh, and we had

115
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: we had James Kimmel. And again here's what I love, right,

116
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: It's the It's the people who gain a certain degree

117
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: of success.

118
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: In the world.

119
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: And they they think that their excrement does not have odor.

120
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: Oh god, guys, there's times that I have to just

121
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: cut myself and think about this. Yes, so you can,

122
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: you can insert your various curse words with that. They

123
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: think they're extra doesn't have odor. Jimmy Kimmel, who you

124
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: might recall, got his start.

125
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: In major media.

126
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he was a radio guy for a while,

127
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: but then his first entree was he did a TV

128
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: show called The Man Show, not known for its highbrow humor,

129
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: not known for its its shall we say slaveysh adherence

130
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: to the tenants of a third wave feminism. No, it

131
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: was The Man Show, which featured women jumping on trampolines.

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: But of course, now Jimmy Kimmel thinks that he could

133
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: push all that well into the background of his life.

134
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: People will forget.

135
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: About that so long as he goes and he attacks

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the president. And of course it's you know, there's nothing

137
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: original here, but I'm going to play it anyway. Here

138
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Kimmel. Now, now again Jimmy Kimmel, who I

139
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: think the only reason why he was on stage is

140
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: because he now does ABC's version of the Tonight Show,

141
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: so it's all part of the network.

142
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: Let's play at number three. Oh man, is he going

143
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: to be mad? His wife wasn't nominated for this.

144
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was presenting I guess the award for

145
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Best Documentary, and of course he was making a making

146
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: a nod to Milania, taking a taking a swipe at Millania.

147
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: God.

148
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, it's like, you know, it's funny.

149
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I wish i'd grabbed this landing. I'm a Simpsons fan. Again,

150
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: Simpson's famous for being greatly predictive. There's a Simpsons episode

151
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: in which Krusty the Clown is trying to make a comeback,

152
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: and he's going and doing trying out some stand up

153
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: at a club, because that's what stand ups do. They

154
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: go and they try material, like Collin O'Brien was apparently

155
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: trying out his Oscar material at various clubs around Los Angeles.

156
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: That's what they do.

157
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: And ed he is just bombing and from the back,

158
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Homer heckles him and says, more funny, you know, be

159
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: more funny, Jimmy Kimmel, That's all I ask.

160
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: We got. I should have pulled this up. We got

161
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Javier Bardem.

162
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Uh Landon is particularly disappointed in this. Uh Javier bar

163
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Dam of course had to had to go and get truly.

164
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, you always get somebody who's the know nothing

165
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: out there. By the way, I did not pull the

166
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda clip. You know, Jane Fonda apparently had some

167
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: kind of mental glitch last night. You know whatever, It's

168
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda, she's old.

169
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: I get it.

170
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pull it at It's essentially like she's

171
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: like the Joe Biden of of of actors. But here's

172
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Javier Bardem being very predictable. Let's go ahead and play

173
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: cut number four.

174
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: No to war.

175
00:09:49,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm free podsty you know, I get it. I don't.

176
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: I don't.

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't want there to be free Palestine. So no

178
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: to free Palestine. No to war, and and and and

179
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: not to free Palestine. Oh that's not what he meant.

180
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: This is like, this is like you may not know this.

181
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: There was a a famous militant African American named Omia.

182
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh good lord Mambia Abu Jamal I think was his name.

183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: I can look it up. I really don't need to.

184
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: Anyway, there were all of these signs, uh stickers out there,

185
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: Uh free Mumia, which I of course made the dumb

186
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: and I can admit it.

187
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: It's dumb. It's not a particularly clever joke about wanting

188
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: some free Mumia. Anyway. Yeah, free Palestine. Not to war.

189
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Uh, no to free Palestine again, you know, be more original.

190
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: Now there was a moment.

191
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

192
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of moments where where you know,

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: folks did try to say some nice things, some good things.

194
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Buckley, who won an award last night, she stepped

195
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: out of the box on this, and she's getting some

196
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: pushback on this. She praised mother let's go on and

197
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: play cut number five.

198
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: You Fred I love you, man, I love you. You're

199
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: the most incredible dad. You're my best friend. And I

200
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: want to have twenty thousand more babies with you.

201
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: I do.

202
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: I do.

203
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 6: And Aila, my little girl who is eight months, who

204
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 6: has absolutely no idea what's going on, and it's probably.

205
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Dreaming of milk.

206
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 5: But this is kind of a big deal.

207
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 6: And I love you and I love being your mom,

208
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 6: and I can't wait to discover life beside you, Chloe

209
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 6: and Maggie.

210
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: You, to get to know.

211
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 6: This incandescent woman and journey to understand the capacity of

212
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: a mother's love is the greatest collision of my life.

213
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 6: It's Mother's Day in the UK today, so I would

214
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: like to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a

215
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 6: mother's heart.

216
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: So that's that's sweet. I like that, you know. By

217
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: the way.

218
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: She won Best Supporting Actress for Hamnet, which I'm apparently

219
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: seeing on stage in a few weeks. I guess Hamnet,

220
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: which is about the life of Hamlet, which and here's

221
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: one of the things from Saturday Night Live over the

222
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: weekend was one of the cast members doing an impression

223
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: of Tucker Carlson, Tucker, what you had to say about this?

224
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and play cut number six.

225
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: Leftist woke America's favorite movie this year is about sinning.

226
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: Huh?

227
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: Why does that not surprise me?

228
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: No?

229
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: Sorry, kids, we don't go to church anymore. We go

230
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: to sinners. That's the rule. That's the goal. Now, what

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: are you doing?

232
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: What's going on?

233
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: He basically hit every crutch of Tucker Carlson's Anyway, We're

234
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about the oscars when we're joined by

00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: if you want, so, let's go here. There's lots going on,

252
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: lots of discussions. Part of what I want to start

253
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: this now is because we're going to be joining in

254
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes by Nan Hayworth, a former congresswoman

255
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: from New York now doing a lot of conservative activist work,

256
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: and she's got her pulse on what's happening on the ground.

257
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. I am very eurish about the midterms.

258
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: I am.

259
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: The media is going to do whatever they can to

260
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: make sure that no good news about what's happening in

261
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: America is going to get out there. In fact, by

262
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: the way, this is why you know things are going

263
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: so much better in the Middle East than we're really

264
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: hearing about, is because if things were going truly badly,

265
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the major media would be highlighting everything, every bad thing

266
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: that's going on. And the reality is history tells U

267
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: that the president's party loses seats in Congress in the

268
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: midterm election.

269
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. The question becomes, you know,

270
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: we talked about this. I don't remember if I.

271
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Did some media back back in twenty twenty two, if

272
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: I was filling in doing much fill in work for

273
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Tony in twenty twenty two. But in twenty twenty two

274
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: the midterms, they were talking about a red wave. Joe

275
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: Biden was so unpopular that there would be a red wave.

276
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Then I wind up not being a red wave, wind

277
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: up being a red trickle. And I'm wondering if the

278
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: converse is.

279
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: Going to happen.

280
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: The Democrats are predicting a blue wave. I think Republicans

281
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: are going to lose seats in Congress, But the question

282
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: is how many.

283
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 4: I know.

284
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm stepping out there. Maybe you're not happy with

285
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: me that I'm not sort of shouting the party line.

286
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: I just want to be prepared for these things. I

287
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: am a believer in history. I'm a believer in looking

288
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: at trends. Obviously, there are times when trends get defied,

289
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: but the major media is not going to allow that

290
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: to happen. On the other hand, Harry Inton is raising

291
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the alarm at CNN, and we're seeing pushback. So what

292
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about here in the next

293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: segment a little bit is the pushback that Democrats are getting.

294
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Let's set it up here, are the Democrats popular? Well,

295
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: the answer is no, and Harry Innton is hitting the

296
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: alarm bells on CNN. Let's go ahead and play cut

297
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: number nine.

298
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: How are voters feeling about Democrats right now?

299
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, Democrats in the minds of the American

300
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 7: public are lower than the dead sea. What are we

301
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 7: talking about here, Well, let's take a look the net

302
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 7: approval rating for Democrats in Congress.

303
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: You said, a Kate Balwin, the lowest ever. Look at this.

304
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 7: Overall, they are fifty five points underwater.

305
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: They're approval rating is south of twenty percent.

306
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: It's even worse when you look at Independence. Look at

307
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 7: this negative sixty one points. That means that they're approval

308
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 7: rating is sixty one points lower than they disapprov riting

309
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 7: Quinnipiac has been pulling this question for the better part

310
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 7: of the twenty first century. They have never found Democrats,

311
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 7: at least those in Congress and were shape than they

312
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 7: are right now.

313
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: And so looking at what's on real clear right now,

314
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: real clear polling, real clear politics. The generic congressional vote,

315
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Democrats are only up four point seven percent. Now you

316
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: have to factor into all of this, of course, what's

317
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: going on with jerrymandering in various states and how Democrats

318
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: are playing the game there, especially in places.

319
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: Like Virginia, right Virginia, where it.

320
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: Could be you normally would get a sort of a

321
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: reliable barometer of where things are. You know, if the

322
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Democrats manage to just wipe away on their map, what

323
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: is it five seats?

324
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: However many seats?

325
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: It is four seats and give you know, Democrats attend

326
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: to one majority in Virginia that has it that it

327
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: sort of doesn't matter if they're only ahead by four

328
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: and a half points in the generic poll. It winds

329
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: up becoming a much much deeper issue down the road.

330
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: But the question is why are Democrats as unpopular as

331
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: they are? Well, some of it has to do with

332
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: the abject hypocrisy that's out there. Let's go to cut

333
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: number eleven Land and we'll come back to the other

334
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: ones in a bit.

335
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: But you know, when you.

336
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Listen, kudos to Jake Tapper for calling out hypocrisy of

337
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: Corey Booker. Let's play cut number eleven.

338
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: Republicans, time and time again don't do their constitutional duty

339
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: of checks and balances oversight. What they do do, though,

340
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: is just lean over an advanced form of yoga, bending

341
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 4: over backwards to do whatever the president wants.

342
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, Presidents on both sides of the al have authorized

343
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 8: serious military operations without seeking the authorization of Congress. As

344
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 8: I don't need to tell you the actual last time

345
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 8: that Congress declared war was World War two.

346
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: Korea was a.

347
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 8: Police action, Vietnam was a conflict. President Obama didn't seek

348
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 8: authorization before engaging in military action in Libya in twenty eleven.

349
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and so Alis, kudos to you know every

350
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: once in a while, right, we listen, We praise them

351
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: for when they do the right things from time to time.

352
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: We're going to talk more about this. Oh and I

353
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: got to spend some time, guys.

354
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: There was an announcement that Eric Schmidt made today about

355
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: making it easier to denaturalize folks and to port folks

356
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: who have become naturalized citizens when they shall, we say,

357
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: behave inappropriately. This is what led to the shooting at

358
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: Odu this weekend. I got an example of traitorousness. This

359
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: is Tony Kats today. I'm Andrew langer Ba gonna bit well,

360
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: you know something I had said this when we started

361
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: the show. We always got to bring some star power,

362
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: some glitz, and some glam to the work that we're doing.

363
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: It's been far too long since I've had her on

364
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: the show. Her name is Nan Hayworth, doctor nanay Which.

365
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: She's a physician. Former member of Congress, turned her attentions

366
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: to making sure that the world is safe for America's

367
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: flavor of freedom.

368
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: Nan, you know, how are you looking at? I know

369
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 2: you're doing a lot of work.

370
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: I am.

371
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: I tend to be eorish about midterm elections generally when

372
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: the Republicans hold the presidency. But apparently things are things

373
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: are looking up. The Democrats can't seem to help themselves,

374
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: can they?

375
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: Yes, Andrew, I like you, you know, definitely, I try

376
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: to be I call myself a cheerful pessimist. Sure, basically right, yes, right,

377
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 5: So the republic the the Democrats' biggest problem is the

378
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 5: Democrats themselves, and thus far for all the slings and

379
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: arrows that the Republicans take because they are nominally in

380
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 5: the majority, although all of us who understand the Constitution

381
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: and the Senate's ability to make its own rules. As

382
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: my shining brilliant friend Andrew Layer does, recognize that without

383
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 5: sixty votes in the Senate, we don't have a functional

384
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 5: majority in Congress, right right, So we're going to get

385
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 5: blamed for all on Sundry and we have the hegemonic

386
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: institutional media left for all low information voters still beaming

387
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: out news that oh, the Republicans are just failing on

388
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: every level, and look now they've got us in a war,

389
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 5: you know. So. But the fact that the Democrats' behavior

390
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: has been just so egregious and the Democrats socialists are

391
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 5: starting to make life miserable for a lot more Americans

392
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: than they could before, seems to be perhaps, you know,

393
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 5: working certainly working against the Democrats, which we hope will

394
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 5: mean working for the Republicans. And it's on us Republicans

395
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: to see this moment.

396
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Right, And I guess the one question is, you know,

397
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: we talk about the fact that with early voting, if

398
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: we don't get things done by say, September one, then

399
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: the election can be pretty much prebeaked. The flip side

400
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: to this is, you know, we have such a the

401
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: news cycle now rockets so quickly that that you know,

402
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: September one being less than six months away, that's still

403
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: a hugely long time, isn't it? A lot can happen

404
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: between now and then.

405
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: Can it?

406
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: Absolutely? And certainly, Andrew you know, I've lived it as

407
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 5: someone who writes the candidates numerous times, and that that

408
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 5: strange quality of time just to stretch and stretch and stretch,

409
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 5: and it actually seems paradoxically to get longer the closer

410
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: you get to election day, you know, so strangely, strangely true.

411
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 5: But uh, yeah, there's six eternities politically away from uh

412
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 5: the election, no question. But that's one of the reasons

413
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: it's so important for Republicans to take this time and

414
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: see how they can effectively use it. And I think

415
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 5: one of the ways Andrew Is has just mentioned, you know,

416
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 5: those who are somewhat low information voters get headline news,

417
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: and headline news still tends to be overwhelmingly negatively skewed

418
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 5: toward Republicans and positively toward Democrats. One way to try

419
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: to break through is to have campaigns that are funded

420
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 5: by folks with resources who are willing to put those

421
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 5: resources in. We've got a lot of branks. Suspensively intact,

422
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 5: we're recognizing that, gosh, if we let the Democrat Party

423
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: continue evolving in the direction in which those of us

424
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: who are Republicans would say, well, it would inevitably go

425
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: because of course, you know, the authoritarian state ultimately cannibalizes

426
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: us all. But you know, we need to do something.

427
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: And one of the things we can do is put

428
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 5: out messaging. You know, I get ads on my airwaves

429
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 5: here in New York, New York. I will get some

430
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 5: positive messages for President Trump and Republicans. We need a

431
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: lot more of that. We needed to be sophisticated. You know,

432
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 5: let's talk common sense for thirty seconds, that kind of thing,

433
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 5: you know, quick bites. But give people the information they're

434
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 5: not getting, give them the the you know, factual content,

435
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: the common sense content that they're not getting, and you know,

436
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 5: I'll hope to bring hearts and minds to where they

437
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 5: ought to be and yet aren't as fully as they should.

438
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, Nan, I'll tell you, I'll share this anecdote

439
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: on the air. I had a conversation. I go back

440
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: and look, it's probably right, it's twenty twenty six.

441
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: Now let's say it was.

442
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: It was twelve years ago or so twenty fourteen timeframe.

443
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Had a conversation with the leader of one of the

444
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: still at the time remaining Tea Party organizations, and I

445
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: had dinner with this person. I said, here, here is

446
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: the blueprint we are now going to frame thee The

447
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: Tea Party movement was always a movement of common sense concerns, servativism,

448
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: common sense libertarianism. Right now we need to embrace that

449
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: and define our positions as the common sense positions. This

450
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: person didn't quite like what I was saying, because I

451
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: was talking about getting rid of the Tea Party brand.

452
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: I think history maybe bearing me out on this question.

453
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: But man, so let's let's talk about the issue of

454
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: energy prices, this war in Iran or military action in Iran. Obviously,

455
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: I think the White House is focused on this. I

456
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: know you as a as a conservative or focused on this.

457
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: This something, something will happen. I think we all agree.

458
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: How soon does it need to happen? How soon do

459
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Americans need to start seeing prices stabilize and then come

460
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: back down again?

461
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: Yes, well, yesterday would be good. But yes, so it's

462
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 5: being simplistic and yet accurate. Answer is the sooner the better,

463
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 5: the realistic answer is. And you know Mark Alpern, who's

464
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 5: a friend and I am Mark, and you know he's

465
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 5: a common sense democrat, uh. And you know he has

466
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 5: been saying recently, you know, in recent days that you know,

467
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: if this doesn't extend past maybe a month or so,

468
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 5: which I think is kind of what you know, all

469
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: of us kind of ballparking this thing anticipate, if you will,

470
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 5: given the incredible swiftness and effectiveness, uh and surgical precision

471
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: and especially teamed with Mossad enhancing our own fine men

472
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: and women in our intelligent intelligence community and our incredible military,

473
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 5: you know, testament to to the talents of everybody on

474
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 5: this team, including Treasury sexuary, Bessident Energy sectuary, right, Marco Rubio,

475
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 5: who is just an absolute superstar. But I think you know,

476
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: if we if these all bear the fruit we think

477
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: they will in terms of eliminating the threat of the

478
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: theocracy effectively and of course opening up the straight of

479
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 5: horror moves, which is a big part of the goal

480
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 5: right now, then I think you know, you'll see oil

481
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 5: prices fall down because so much what it goes into

482
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 5: oil futures is of course, you know, is with all investors.

483
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: It's emotional. All markets reflect emotion, and people are self protective,

484
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 5: so they're anticipating. No, you know, it's the price is

485
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 5: going to go up. But you know, what we need

486
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: to emphasize again on the Republican side is a couple

487
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 5: of things. Number One, thanks to President Trump opening up

488
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 5: American hydrocarbon development so forcefully. Uh, you know, we are

489
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 5: actually energy independent thanks to President Trump. Uh, neutralizing the

490
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 5: threat of Maduro and converting without regime change in Venezuela.

491
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 5: Converting Venezuela into a friendly nation. You know, it's the

492
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 5: muscle behind us. We get that. But you know, converting

493
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: into friends. You know, he's playing six level chats against

494
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 5: the ultimate enemy, which is of course the acts of

495
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 5: the led by the Chinese Communist Party. So I think

496
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 5: we can see a lot of positive things happening. I

497
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 5: anticipate that we will. And again we need to get

498
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 5: that message out there. And all of these Cabinet members

499
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: have been incredible along with the President as presenting this messaging.

500
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 5: Consumers have to see it in results. But the other

501
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: two key points. Number one, sure, we are acting to

502
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 5: neutralize a threat that thanks to the Obama administrations and

503
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: Obama part three, which is the Biden administration. They opened

504
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 5: up billions and billions and billions of dollars of cash

505
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 5: flows to the theocracy. So thank you for presenting President

506
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 5: Trump with what became a nuclear powder cake. Number one.

507
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 5: Number two, Americans are suffering most in blue states. So

508
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 5: that's part of the problem is these blue state blues.

509
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: If you live in the room chate, you are not

510
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: going to feel the benefits nearly the same way as

511
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 5: folks who live in red states run by sensible Republicans.

512
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and one one of them.

513
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say, one of my concerns

514
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: is places like New York, where I'm from originally where

515
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: you're from. I know you're from New Jersey, but you

516
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: lived in New York for a very long time. But

517
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you can do so much on

518
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: making energy, you know, making our energy portfolio much wider, right,

519
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: much greater sources and options. But when you get regulators

520
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: in places like New York and Maryland who are so

521
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: hell bent, you know, the consumers there won't quite see it.

522
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: So I get I get a little a little nervous there.

523
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: But then we're talking about the margins. Let me come

524
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: back to I'm sorry, Dan, let me come back to

525
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: something for a second. Because you talked about China. I

526
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting the media is not talking about this.

527
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: China has stopped aggressive overflights over Taiwan in the wake

528
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: of this action. I think that says it all, doesn't

529
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: It huge?

530
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: Huge? Absolutely, yes, And we're not of course the media.

531
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 5: You know, it's like this could be an insulted children,

532
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 5: but it's like dealing with some shiny objects. And you know,

533
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 5: I'm sorry America's children, forget me because you're much better

534
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 5: than the media. But that's the problem. Also, you know, look,

535
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: we're Chinese overflights though, and that looks good for the

536
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: Trump administration. Yeah, maybe we don't go there, right, Yeah,

537
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 5: And so again again the hegemonic left run our institutions,

538
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 5: giant Democrat money launder machine. I get angry and angry

539
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: at America's academy for what I mean that all represents,

540
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: and they are all desperately clinging to their power because

541
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: they know every passing hour, not just day, with Donald

542
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 5: Trump in office, means that their power and wealth are threatened. Actively.

543
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 5: That's why they're rooting against America. I mean it's just

544
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 5: you cannot and that, one hopes is why the American public.

545
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 5: To return to your initial point, the American public is

546
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 5: starting to filter this through.

547
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: So Nan and I know you're doing a lot of

548
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: work with our good friends at the RNC. How do

549
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: folks find out more about the work that you're doing.

550
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: How do they get involved?

551
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, you know, Andrew, I'm so, I'm rather shy,

552
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,600

00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: Here.

581
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: You can also at me at Andrew Underscore Langer on

582
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: x SO talking about the Democrats and talking about, yes,

583
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: me being a bit eorish about the midterm election prospects.

584
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: But that eorishness, I know that's not a word, you know,

585
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: it might. My pessimism is tempered by just how unpopular

586
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: the left can be. And what's driving that well, I

587
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: mean it's stuff like this, you know. Here's here is

588
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Pete Bodhage Edge, the former mayor of what Fort Wayne,

589
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: who then got catabulted onto the national stage before.

590
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: He was really ready for prime time. He is trying

591
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: to remain relevant.

592
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: I think there was a news article about that recently,

593
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: the People to Judge's time in the Wilderness. Here is

594
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: what he had to say when asked about this military

595
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: action in Iran. Let's play at number twelve.

596
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 9: This is clearly amateur hour at the Pentagon and in

597
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 9: the White House. And again, the price is being paid

598
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 9: by all of us. You can also just tell from

599
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 9: the administration's attitude towards this war, the fact that they're

600
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 9: putting out videos treating this like a video game. It's

601
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 9: not a video game.

602
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: For the families of the fallen.

603
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 9: And then just this week we saw fund campaign fundraising

604
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 9: materials being put out emails where the President's committee, the

605
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 9: President's political operation, was raising money off of images of

606
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 9: him at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that

607
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 9: has no business leading American troops in the war. If

608
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 9: the president is willing to raise campaign funds over the

609
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 9: bodies of America's war dead, he is unfit to be

610
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 9: the commander in chief.

611
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: I got it, got it, got it. So that's that's

612
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: the standard.

613
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: We can go back and look at at the ways

614
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: the Democrats have raised money literally on the graves of

615
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: the fallen and people poots and by the way, my

616
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: apologies South Bend, not Fort Wayne.

617
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 2: It's been guys. It's been a fascinating twenty four hours.

618
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: So I do it, but I do apologize for that.

619
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: Was that was very much, very much on me amateur hour.

620
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: You know again, it's almost as though, you know, you

621
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: take the caricature of the situation and you're angry about

622
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: the caricature of the situation. It's not to say anything

623
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: about what's actually happening on the ground, right, you know.

624
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: It's like yet Nan and I were talking about the

625
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: issue of the media not wanting to report on good things,

626
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: and I report on things fairly. One of the examples

627
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: that I wanted to use was last weekend, trying to

628
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: get a sense as to what was actually happening on

629
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: the ground in Iran or in the air in the

630
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: skies over Iron what was actually happening. It pulled up

631
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: a CNN like a fifteen minute summary on YouTube, and

632
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: you know how I knew that things were going badly.

633
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't because of anything that I saw or anything.

634
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: They were saying, it's because they had the they had

635
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: the very somber, the somber negative music, the tragic music

636
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: that was out there. The whole idea being that they

637
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: that they are trying to manipulate you. You know, it's

638
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: it's like folks who who who think that that's uh?

639
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin said I can see Russia from my house,

640
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: when in fact that was Tina Fey, Right. You focus

641
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: on the caricature as opposed to as opposed to what's

642
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: really going on there amateur hour. You know, that is

643
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: the desecration of the dead, that is trying to score

644
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: political points on the backs of the dead.

645
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: You know, maybe maybe it's a it's an unintentional cell

646
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,560
