You probably know him from Fox News, 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: but he is also the author of the new book 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Progressively Worse, And I love this. 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: It's like, progressively worse. 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Why today's Democrats ain't your daddy's donkeys. So, you know, 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: it's so funny to me because you were just talking 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: about your daughter. 9 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: I have four girls, and my. 10 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: Daughter the other day was like, are they offended that 11 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: you call them the donkeys? 12 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's funny that you know that that 13 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: should be offend some mine. I just think it's appropriate. 14 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: You know, who came up with this idea, you know, 15 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: let's make the party mascot a jackass. That's a great idea. 16 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: It's so appropriate. 17 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 3: I mean, at least with the GOP you have, you know, 18 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: an elephant that's a big, strong animal, I mean donkey. 19 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: Like that's the best you can come up with me. 20 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: I went to the University of Maryland. We had a 21 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 3: turtle that was basically our mascot, the Terrapins. I'm like, 22 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: we wait, we're our signal of strength is a slow 23 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: underwater turtle probably going to beat Michigan. The Wolverines or 24 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: the buck guys, the guys. It's the way it goes. 25 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: I guess I don't know. 26 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: But I'll take it for them. 27 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: And I think it's very interesting because, I mean, there's 28 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: so much in here that's interesting. You talk about JFK 29 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: being like the Maga president and how much different it 30 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: is today, and in my. 31 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: Book, I just go through the radical transition that this 32 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 3: party has made. I mean, I admit this in the book. 33 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: I voted for a Clinton for president once, No, not Hillary, 34 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: when I was very young. My first election that I 35 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 3: could vote in, I voted for Bill Clinton. The reason 36 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: why I was I looked at the country in nineteen 37 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: ninety six, and we had peace, and we had prosperity, 38 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: and I saw a president who was willing to work 39 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 3: with Nuke Gingridge, a Republican House speaker to pass things 40 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: like balance budget amendments like don't spend me you don't 41 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: have Wow, that's a radical idea. Then we had budget 42 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: surpluses at the end of the nineties. This is the 43 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: guy Clinton who said the era of big government is over, 44 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 3: and he passes welfare reform. He talked about deporting illegal immigrants, 45 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: made Donald Trump sound like a wallflower today and you're like, wow, 46 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: I can agree with all these things a crime bill, 47 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: I can agree with all these things. Uh, and now 48 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: you see what their nominee supports, tutor as far as 49 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: you want to banfracking. If you live in Pennsylvania, you're 50 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: probably happy about that, right are. 51 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: They talking about that? 52 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, but the other bizarre thing is this ability 53 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: to just change everything overnight. 54 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: I mean I've said. 55 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: To people, I've talked to people just in this past 56 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: week about what exactly is going on because everybody's unprecedented, unprecedented, unprecedented. 57 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: This is a total I mean every day, right, every 58 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: day is something unprecedented. And they're like, well, how did 59 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: this happen? And I had somebody say, well, why isn't 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: he going to debate Kamala? Why is he now backing 61 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: off of that? I said, whoa would you at this 62 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: point until she is the actual nominee? I mean, why 63 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: give them another mulligan? And what if she's what if 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: she tanks right after the debate and then they go, oh, 65 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to pick someone else. I 66 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: mean they should we should never have debated this early. 67 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: The idea that they get rid of their nominee is shocking. 68 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: And now they've they disappear everything about Kamala Harris. They 69 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: just and they have the media on their side. This 70 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: is communist propaganda. I mean, we've never seen anything like 71 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: this where your entire history can be disappeared if you 72 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: are on the left, and. 73 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: I think you're a common sense person. I'm a common 74 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: sense person. Now we're parents, and we like to do 75 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: fun things and we're happily married, all that fun stuff. 76 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 3: And that's the thing about all of this. We don't 77 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: use hyperbolic terms like Marxist or Communist or Soviet, but 78 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: I'm using them now because how else can you describe 79 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: a candidate who ran in twenty twenty, didn't even get 80 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty, therefore did not get one Democratic vote 81 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: when she ran for president, Kamala Harris, And now in 82 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, she's the nominee again without getting one vote, 83 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: and then they turn around to make their bumper sticker, Yeah, 84 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: we're the party that's going to save democracy. You're like, 85 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: what are you talking about? And I would think that 86 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: the media would be saying, wait a minute. All these 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: days and Kamala Harris hasn't held a press conference, won't 88 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 3: even sit down with one reporter, won't take any questions. 89 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: They should be really pissed off right now, and instead 90 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: the pomp poms are out. Yeah, kamal lot, is that 91 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: what New York Magazine had on their cover. It's crazy, 92 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: But I think this eventually goes away and it all 93 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: comes down to that debate against Trump, because I think 94 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is the same as Joe Biden in the 95 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: sense square tutor. If you take her out of a teleprompter, 96 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: you take her away from pre written, scripted remarks. There's 97 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: something broken in that brain where she doesn't know how 98 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: to defend any of her past positions. And I could 99 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: go through the top ten right now. We talked about fracking. 100 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: She wants to ban that she get backtrack and that 101 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: all she wants. She said she's one hundred percent supporting 102 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: banning fracking. You can't walk back those words. She wants 103 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: to end the fossil fuel industry. She wants to end 104 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: all offshore drilling. That's three. Four, she wants to abolish ice. Five. 105 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: She does not support in any way, shape or form, 106 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 3: border wall construction. Six, she supports sanctuary cities. Seven. She 107 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: supports ending private health insurance. Eight, she supports actually giving 108 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: free healthcare to illegals. Nine she supports late term abortions. 109 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 3: Ten she supports expanding the Supreme Court, and okay, the 110 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: Honorable Mention wants to end the filibuster as well. These 111 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: are radical things that no Americans agree with. And if 112 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 3: Donald Trump prepares, and he has to, I understand he 113 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: likes to be authentic, and you're right prepared for basically 114 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: get those ten things down and hammer her on that. 115 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: Stay away from DEI you're dumb. You're this year that 116 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 3: hit her on policy and she'll fold, just like Joe 117 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 3: Biden did in Atlanta June twenty seven. 118 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: But you make a great point, and I think this 119 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: is something that people on the left don't see, but 120 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: we need to keep pointing it out, is that she 121 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: has no true convictions. If you have somebody that wants 122 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: to lead the country, you want to think of them 123 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: as a servant who has reasons for wanting to do it. 124 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: And really you have to think of this as a 125 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: job to serve the people, and you have multiple reasons 126 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: in your heart that you feel passionate about. 127 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: There's no passion there, and that's when. 128 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: You say, you know she can flip flop on this 129 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: and fracking that. These are all talking points. They are 130 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: talking points written by progressives. But she doesn't have the 131 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: convictions or the any gut feel on why she feels 132 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: that way. And that's why he can annihilate her in 133 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a debate if he gets the messaging right. 134 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and that takes take a day or two, 135 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: mister president. You don't even have to like say that 136 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: all I'm going off to the prep. Just ten things 137 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: you got to remember. And then every time she brings 138 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: up something you say, but yeah, you support this, you 139 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: support that. She's the weather vane candidate. Basically, wherever the 140 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: wind blows, that's where Kamala Harris is going to go 141 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: as well, all for power, just to get into the 142 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: position so she could say she's the first female president 143 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: and then all the perks, the celebrity perks that go 144 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: along with it. So that's the Democratic Party today, not 145 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: your daddy's donkeys too. 146 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I don't know if there 147 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: are people on our side that feel like there's some 148 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: sort of shame in preparing for a debate by because 149 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: I know you feel like the same. 150 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: I feel the same way. 151 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: I feel, Hey, let's sit down and do it, because 152 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: having debated someone in a gubernatorial race, I know we 153 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: spent we spent several hours sitting there going through and 154 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: this question in this topic, and you just have it fresh. 155 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: It's just having it all fresh in your mind what 156 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: you want to talk about and making sure that you're 157 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: hitting the right points. 158 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: It's critical, it is. I mean, you go on Fox 159 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: a lot. I'm on often. I guess this is one 160 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: way to put it. Somebody called me ubiquitous. Had to 161 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 3: look it up, but now I know that means you're everywhere. 162 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: But the point is that, yeah, every time I go on, 163 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: I kind of think of it as like Navy Seal 164 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: kind of prep without doing the Navy seal thing, because 165 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: you're going on in front of maybe two three four 166 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: million people. I was on during the RNC that had 167 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: to be what nine million people. And you never want 168 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: to be the um you know person right. You want 169 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: to have your back straight. You don't want to seem rehearsed. 170 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: That's bad too, Like be yourself like you're at a 171 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: happy hour. Don't use big words. You normally wouldn't that 172 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: sort of thing. But if you have a good stat ready, 173 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: and more importantly, have a good joke at the end. 174 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 3: That's the whole ky. 175 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: Toder, right, and that is that is one of Trump's 176 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: gifts is to be able to bring comedy into enlighten 177 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: the situation, and make people go, oh, my goodness. He's 178 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: under so much pressure and yet he still can find 179 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: joy and things. 180 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: And I think. 181 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: Everybody is looking for a little joy right now because 182 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: the amount of pressure on the American people is kind 183 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: of through the roof, and everybody's trying to figure out 184 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: where they fait. I was just talking to someone else 185 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: about this idea that the Democrats have decided that segregation 186 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: is good. If you look at Kamala's campaign, it's segregated 187 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: by different genders, by different colors, by different races. 188 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: Everything is segregated. So we're looking at this right. 189 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Now and it makes you feel like you have to 190 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: fit into a category. And I think that the American 191 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: people right now feel like, oh gosh, how do I talk? 192 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: What category do I fit into? How do I not offend? 193 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: What am I going to do? And who's going to 194 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: be her running mate? 195 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: And we watched this, I know it looks like you 196 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: talk about people to judge in the book, and I 197 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: think that we have a situation in Michigan where we're going, 198 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: oh gosh, he's here. Is he going to be the 199 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: running mate? And what do you say if you say anything? 200 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: Is it offensive because you know you don't fit into 201 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: the certain category that can talk about these things. 202 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: You're so right? I mean, I guess it's gay bashing 203 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: if I say, hmm. Pete Boodage was assigned to be 204 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 3: the Treasury secretary, nominated, confirmed, and then he goes on 205 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 3: to take two months paternity leave without telling anybody to 206 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: mind you to take care of his husband, who I 207 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 3: guess had to recover from childbirth. Like who needs two 208 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 3: months in an adoption situation? I'm not sure. And I 209 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: don't mind that. You know, you want to get to 210 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 3: know your baby, you want to take some weeks off. 211 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: I get it completely, But when you sign up to 212 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: be treasury secretary, maybe you work from home, and you 213 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: don't just take two months off without saying anything. And 214 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: I can't believe he didn't get a viscerator for that 215 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: or what happened in East Palestine, Ohio, where obviously he 216 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: had that situation where he didn't go for weeks and 217 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: months and I'm sorry about my earpiece. Weeks and months 218 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: before people were getting sick and he couldn't go there 219 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: because he's an elitist. And I think that's another part 220 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: of the book, Progressively Worse Tutor that is really important 221 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 3: to discuss. The forty richest congressional districts in this country 222 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: are all forty out of forty represented by Democrats, Right, 223 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: you know, the party of the workingman and woman, you 224 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 3: know back in the seventies and the eighties and the nineties. 225 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: They ain't that anymore. They're the party of elites. They're 226 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 3: the party of war. Right. We just sent what another 227 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: one point five billion over Ukraine. Tudor Dixon and Joe 228 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 3: Concac could be talking five years from now about the 229 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: stalemate in eastern Ukraine, how Ukraine can't drive Russia out 230 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: and Russia can't get the Kiev and they're just still 231 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: fighting and we're just still throwing money at the problem. 232 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: Democrats are the ones that are driving that. So, yeah, 233 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: this is your party now at this point where they 234 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: just represent the coastal elites. And that's why I think 235 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: ultimately Kamala Harris loses because I don't think she when 236 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: she has to speak anyway outside of a telepropter, can't 237 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 3: connect with workers steel workers in Ohio, or auto workers 238 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: in Michigan with that ev push, or people in Amergona. 239 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 3: She knows about it exactly. 240 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: Well, she tried. 241 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: These are not people who have tried, and they haven't tried. 242 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: They haven't had to try to connect, which is a 243 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: little frustrating because of this situation where the unions come 244 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: in and they unions put poor money into political campaigns 245 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: and the unions aren't necessary. I mean, I had a 246 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: woman come by my house the other day, just walking 247 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: past one of my neighbors, and she was like, man, 248 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: a few years back was when the UAW started calling 249 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: me and saying this is who you must vote for. 250 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: And she was like, that was really the first time 251 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: it was like you have to do this, And she 252 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: said it was such a shocking phone call. To me, 253 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: it was that I kind of like took a step 254 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: back and what do you mean I have to vote 255 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: for this person? And that to me is a new 256 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: level where you have these groups of people. The unions 257 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: have become very powerful, but off of the money of 258 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: the working people, and then they take that money and 259 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: they give it to the Gretchen Whitmer's of the world 260 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: and the Joe Biden's of the world. 261 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: And what are they doing. 262 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Gretchen Whitmer has taken a lot of Michigan 263 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars and put it into the Big Three, who 264 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: then haven't built the jobs that we said we were 265 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: going to get. 266 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: And so where is this? What is the endgame here? 267 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: Wow? Let me ask you a question. With the question, 268 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to become the host. You're going to be 269 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: my guest now there, right, Like we've done this before. 270 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: So what are rank and file? I don't want to 271 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: hear about that in the heads of the unions, right 272 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 3: because they're always going to always total align with any 273 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: Democratic candidate. Rank and file like auto workers, for example, 274 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: you know the state better than anybody. Well, what are 275 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: they saying, because I can't see them saying yay Kamala 276 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: while their jobs are going to be threatened because of 277 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: this ev push that Biden Harris have really mandated. Obviously, 278 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 3: and obviously electric cars are easier to make than gas 279 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: powered cars. That's going to cost jobs. So I got 280 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: to think that they are still in Trump's corner even 281 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 3: if They're leaders are saying that they're with Harris. 282 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot are, but I think you have 283 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: to remember that they just went through that massive strike. 284 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: They got the biggest increase they've ever seen. A lot 285 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: of them feel like this has been a really good 286 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: fight for them. Stick around for more of my interview 287 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: with Joe Kanca, but first I want to tell you 288 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: about my partners at IFCJ. We are quickly approaching the 289 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: one year anniversary of the horrific Hamas attacks on Israel, 290 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: and still the Holy Land continues to be attacked on 291 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: multiple fronts. Deadly threats are increasing in northern Israel and 292 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: constant rocket attacks from Hesbialah have been fired at Israel, 293 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: causing widespread damage, with raging wildfires destroying precious farmland. Since 294 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: the war started, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 295 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: has been on the forefront in Israel addressing the needs 296 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: of the most vulnerable.

I will say that when 326 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: I was running, you know, I come from manufacturing, and 327 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: so we had a shop here in West Michigan, and 328 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: I honestly figured, well, probably most of the guys that 329 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: worked in our shop are Democrats, because you know, that 330 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: was just kind of the way it was growing up. 331 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: And so many of them reached out to me like, 332 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: oh gosh, we love Donald Trump, we hope that you win. 333 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: We were so supportive of this, and. 334 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: I was like, this is amazing because you know, they 335 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: saw our shop shut down, They've seen other shops shut 336 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: down in Michigan. 337 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: It's become a disaster. The policies of the left. 338 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked about this a couple of times now, 339 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: but people don't necessarily understand the impact of some of these. 340 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: Policies until it's too late. 341 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: Last week, the governor signed a bill that gives the 342 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: environmental agency in the state, the State Environmental Agency emergency powers, 343 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: and so if you're a farmer, if you're a manufacturer 344 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: in the state, You're going, oh, great, what are they 345 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: going to do now? Are they going to come and 346 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: take my farm? Are they going to come and shut 347 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: down my manufacturing company? You know, this is the kind 348 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: of stuff that I think that you get the raise 349 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: to answer your question about the UAW members. You get 350 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: the raise and go, okay, well, I'll do what they 351 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: want because they've helped me. But then the impact of 352 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: their policies doesn't hit for another five to ten years. 353 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: Then you're in trouble. 354 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: Wow, that's a lot like the media these days, tutor, 355 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: right where I think sixty five seventy percent probably are 356 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: ideologically Democrats, right, and they're going to report thusly and 357 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: they're going to cheer on obviously the Democratic Party and 358 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: try to be advocates and push them over the finish line. 359 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 3: Then I think there's another like thirty thirty five percent 360 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: that maybe they got into the business to be investigative 361 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: reporters and to speak truth to power, regardless of the 362 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: letter next to your name, and then they quickly found 363 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: out that if they take on Democrats and actually investigate 364 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: Democrats and actually do their job, well, guess what that 365 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: doesn't get you a raise, that doesn't get your next contract, 366 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: that doesn't get you a contributorship. Whatever you're trying to get, 367 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: you're not going to get it unless you can form obey, 368 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: and you kind of have to put your head down 369 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: and take it and just play the game, because you're thinking, 370 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 3: all right, maybe I got a family, maybe my career 371 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 3: is important. I got to support them. Therefore, I could 372 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 3: be a hero right now and try to be a rebel, 373 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: but I'm going to fail, so I might as well 374 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: just play along. So it sounds like auto workers and 375 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: media people ironically have the same problem. That's incredible. 376 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: But the media has been such a disaster. 377 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 1: I mean in Michigan, I would say that even at 378 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: the beginning of me running, the Detroit News was still 379 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: pretty moderate. People felt like it was a pretty good 380 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: news source and it needs to become so radically left 381 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: it but openly. I mean, now they will just post 382 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: repost posts from Gretchen Whitmer, like she'll do something that 383 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: is just like some little comedy social media thing, and 384 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: the Detroit News repost like or their political editor reposts. 385 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: It's like there is no hiding the love for these politicians. 386 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: And I think that it became even worse when they thought, Okay, 387 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: she's going to run for president, We're going to be 388 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: a part of the pre score in DC. We'll move 389 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: with her, you know. And then it became lift her 390 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: up even higher, keep lifting, keep lifting, because we want 391 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: to travel on her coattails, you know, we want to 392 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: be there beside her. And now in Michigan, the radical media, 393 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: and I think you talk about this too, the radical 394 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: media has had such an impact on the American people, 395 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: and people have said for years, if you can flip 396 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: the media, that's how you lose freedom in the country. 397 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: And look, COVID was the ultimate time when the media flipped. 398 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, COVID can't possibly come from a lab, 399 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: your conspiracy theorist. There is to you actually believe that. 400 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 3: I always thought that John Stewart, of all people, had 401 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 3: the best line around that. He said, well, let's say 402 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 3: there was an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey, Pennsylvania. 403 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: Where do you think it came from? Exactly the same 404 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 3: thing with COVID. It's literally named the coronavirus. You know 405 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: wuhan Center for studying these viruses. Maybe it came from there. 406 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: So that was a good moment. But in the book, yeah, 407 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 3: you're right about the media. I have a whole chapter 408 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: on CNN and the death of it, quite frankly, because 409 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 3: when I grew up, we had this guy named Bernard 410 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 3: Shaw who was like the face of CNN, and he 411 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 3: was a real journalist, Like he didn't care about going 412 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: on Stephen Colbert and didn't care about retweets and likes 413 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 3: because social media didn't exist yet. He just was a 414 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: solid reporter. And now we see that like the face 415 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 3: of the network is like Jim Acosta and somehow Brian 416 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 3: Stelter who got fired and yet he's on the network 417 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 3: more than most people that they pay, so I don't 418 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 3: know how that happened. And Jeffy Tubman still on as well. 419 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 3: I mean, this guy got the shaft, right, I mean, 420 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: hands down the best legal analyst around. Sorry, sorry, I'm 421 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 3: showing my hanswer. By the way, I just want to 422 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 3: make sure we're all clear why this conversation's going. The 423 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: point is CNN this was like the ultimate example of 424 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: the media pushing the Democratic Party as far left as 425 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: it's gone. It's twenty nineteen. They had twenty four people 426 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: I think running for the Democratic nominee, and CNN says, hey, 427 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: you know what, We're going to give each of you 428 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: an hour of airtime for a town hall, and all 429 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 3: the candidates like, that's great, because you know, you got 430 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: to stand out. It's national branding, it's an invitation you 431 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: obviously accept. Then they said, oh, by the way, there's 432 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: a catch. However, every one of these town halls will 433 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: be about the end is exactly what they called it, 434 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: the climate crisis. So if you want to talk about economy, inflation, trade, 435 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: the border, immigration, foreign policy, nope, one topic for one hour, 436 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: the climate crisis and what are you going to do 437 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 3: to save the earth. Basically, so these people had to 438 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: all agree with this and come out with these radical 439 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: positions because what else are they going to do. If 440 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: they don't do that, then the audience is going to 441 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: rebel against them. They don't show up, then they don't 442 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: get on national television, and they look like they're cowards, 443 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: I guess, And that's the end of it. So I 444 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: think that was like a prime example of the media 445 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: pushing a whole party in one direction, whether they liked 446 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: it or not. 447 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: Oh, and that's how you create a Kamala Harris who 448 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: is no fracking in Pennsylvania's off the table, and we're 449 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: not going to do this. And then it comes down to, well, 450 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: now you are the candidate, and now you do have 451 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: to answer to the people, and so what is your 452 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: stance on this? And you've already said all this? And 453 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: now the funny thing to me is if she were 454 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: a Republican, she could never live it down. But how 455 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: how is it all changing now? 456 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: The way it works is if you're a Democrat, you 457 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: never flip flop. You evolve on an issue. So Barack 458 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 3: Obama when he entered office, he opposed gay marriage, and 459 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 3: then he evolved. He saw the light. And boy, isn't 460 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: the greatest human beings that we could all really learn 461 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: from our mistakes and move with our positions because we've 462 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: become smarter as we get older. Remember that's what they 463 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: said about Joe Biden. His experience, his age is his asset. 464 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 3: Behind closed doors, he's actually solving quadritic equations and he's 465 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 3: really Stephen Hawking. He's like John Nash, you know, he's 466 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 3: breaking codes. Right. That was the Russell Crowe movie with 467 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: a Beautiful Mind, which is one of my favorites. But anyway, 468 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: not to go off on a tangent. Yeah. So that's 469 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: the thing about the media at least that they have 470 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 3: no say no, they have some, but not nearly as 471 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 3: much as they did when we were growing up. And 472 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: the reason why we know this is because they said 473 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 3: the Steele dossier was real, Hunter Biden's laptop was faked, discussed, 474 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 3: COVID didn't come from a lab, and Donald Trump is 475 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 3: a Russian agent. Actually, Joe Biden is vibrant and cogent, 476 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 3: and oh, Kamala Harris, she never was the borders are. 477 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: They keep saying this stuff over and over again, and 478 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: I think it plays well for the MSNBCC and end crowd, 479 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 3: But I think objective Americans, particularly in swing state the 480 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: lake viewers like Michigan. And I'm wearing a Tiger slash 481 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: Dixon shirt here by the way, so let's let's make 482 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 3: that very clear. I don't think it flies ultimately, and 483 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: I think that's why Donald Trump's still the favorite despite 484 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 3: all this euphoria around Kamala Harris. 485 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: Well, I find it interesting you talked earlier about Bill 486 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: Clinton and having voted for Bill Clinton, But think about this. 487 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: When we were young, there wasn't a twenty four hour 488 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: news cycle, and certainly you never saw actual journalists come 489 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: out and say this man can never get elected, which 490 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: is shocking to me today to see people who say 491 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: they're journalists and they say Donald Trump can never get elected. 492 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: We have to do everything we can to make sure 493 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: that this can never happen. And you know, all the 494 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: talk of threat, now, all of that in that talk, 495 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: I believe, because I've said this before, if you call 496 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: someone a threat, people feel like they need to eliminate 497 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: the threat. They're like, I got to get I've got 498 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: to save people from this. This is so dangerous once 499 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: you've been labeled as a threat, and then you have 500 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: people that they believe are credible coming out and saying 501 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: that he's a threat. Now you talked about voting for 502 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. When I was in college, he came to 503 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: my college campus. 504 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: And I went. 505 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: He was the president of the United States. I went 506 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: and I didn't yell and scream. I wanted to just 507 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: go see what he had to say. And I don't 508 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: remember feeling like, oh, he wasn't my candidate or any 509 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: of that. I just thought, Oh, the president's coming, I'm 510 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: going to go see him. And now it's like, can 511 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: you imagine if Donald Trump went onto a college campus, 512 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: people would go out of their minds. 513 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: They would have to go to the mental health center. 514 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: You're right, safe spaces, right. That was another thing that's 515 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: merged over the last couple of years. 516 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: They would probably say, he can't be on get the police, 517 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: he can't be on here. 518 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 3: Oh seriously. Yeah. I saw al Gore. I believe he 519 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 3: came to my campus, and I was you're right. I 520 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: was like, wow, it's a vice president. I'll go see 521 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 3: he already has to say. You know, I wasn't really 522 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: politically aligned in any way, shape or form. But that's 523 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: the thing. It's no longer about journalism. It's not even 524 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: about activism. It's activism, and I think provocative opinions that's 525 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: what gets you the likes, the retweets, and the pat 526 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 3: on the back. Quite frankly from the bosses. I don't 527 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 3: think that's the case at Fox. I think we try 528 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: to be we give opinion, sure, but I think they're 529 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 3: in some sort of reality where it's not like to 530 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 3: be provocative just to be provocative. I think they're honest opinions. 531 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that's what feels a lot of 532 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 3: this as well, that forget being a journalist and just 533 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: reporting the facts. Boy, isn't that boring. You're gonna get 534 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: a lot more money if you're the provocative person saying 535 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 3: the provocative things, and that's what creates like the Don 536 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 3: Lemons of the world. 537 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: Well, and I see this, I mean I have seen 538 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: this certainly on both sides. Not I agree with you, 539 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: not on Fox, but just these influencers and the social media, 540 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: and they the constant threat out there and the heightened alert. 541 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: I guess I would say, there's somebody constantly pushing you 542 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: to be on heightened alert. 543 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: This is dangerous, and this is dangerous. Or the hot take. 544 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, the hot take drives me crazy in politics 545 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: because I got to say, on our side, a lot 546 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: of people have bad hot takes that just take off 547 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: and they hurt all of us. 548 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 2: Please stop with the hot take. 549 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 3: Oh that's true. Let's not just pretend like the left 550 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: exists on social media like AOC Swallowell shift and say 551 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: like really crazy things right where she did to leave 552 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: so on. I mean, Marjorie Tayler Green says some profoundly 553 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 3: crazy things. I'm sorry she does, And I think that's 554 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 3: why ultimately social media has been horrible for politicians. For some, 555 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 3: it's good, I guess because Trump could bypass the media. 556 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 3: But we don't need to hear every inane thought that 557 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 3: goes through people's heads, especially after nine o'clock at night 558 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 3: when probably Tito's or Greg Goose or something else is 559 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: talking at that point. So I mean, like at Matt Gates, 560 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 3: I mean, you threw out Kevin McCarthy, You're like, yeah, 561 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 3: we got rid of them. Oh, what's your backup plan? 562 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, And then they went through 563 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: like like all these people before we finally got to 564 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: Mike Johnson. Then even his job was threatened. So Republicans 565 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 3: have to be more disciplined and act like the adults 566 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 3: in the room. I think that's what people are yearning for, 567 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: or a serious with serious problems and we need serious 568 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: people to solve them. An American president, which Michael Douglas 569 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five, I believe it was, well a Democrat, 570 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 3: don't figure. 571 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: And I've said this before. 572 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: When I was running for governor, people were like, you 573 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: have to be serious on social media. 574 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you're not running for Congress, And I. 575 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: Thought, when did congress become something you could just be 576 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: a clown. 577 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: Why do you do say. 578 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: That it's un approval. Yeah, I mean Congress is just trusted. 579 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 3: Is like gas station Assoshi at this point, which having 580 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: taken a road trip recently, don't ever ever do that, tutor. 581 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 3: That was my advice to You'll be a thing in Jersey, 582 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: more Michigan, but still not good. 583 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: Well, well, but I can see why. 584 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: But you I think one thing that you have to 585 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: remember and when you talk about, you know, some of 586 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: the crazy things that certain politicians will come out and say. 587 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: And this is what I say to my friends on 588 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats side, Oh, how do you explain this and 589 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: this and this. I'm like, you, guys have to understand 590 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: that this person is representing a small part of the country. 591 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: When you are in Congress, you are representing just the 592 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: people in your district. You're not representing republic plans as 593 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: a whole. You're not representing the whole country. You're representing 594 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: the people who elect you. And so I've had people 595 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: gosh this conversation lately. Honestly, just before we got on, 596 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: one of the gals in the office was saying that 597 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: even somebody that she knows was saying, well, if we 598 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: elect Donald Trump. He's going to get rid of contraception. 599 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: We won't have any more contraception. And I'm like, gosh, 600 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: I had the same conversation last week with one of 601 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: the girls that is my friend, that's a Democrat. Well, 602 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,239 Speaker 1: we won't be able to have the pill anymore if 603 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: we get rid of or if we get Donald Trump 604 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: into office. And I'm like, man, these things. 605 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: Are so powerful. 606 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: But I said to them, I'm like, how would it 607 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: explain to me how it would happen? Because I said, 608 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: I get that you think that the Republicans are a 609 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: few certain congresswomen and women that you see all the time, 610 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: but most of them are not in strong red areas. 611 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: Most of them are in seats where they're always fighting. 612 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: They're not going to vote for something like that. 613 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: No one wants that. 614 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: That's the thing. Rovers's way being struck down was the 615 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: most democratic thing you possibly could have done, because then 616 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 3: it went back to state referendums and votes and people 617 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 3: like that's the way it should be. So then people 618 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: are like, well, in Kansas, they're going to ban abortion. 619 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 3: It's going to be horrible. And then Kansas holds a 620 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 3: referendum and it passes quite easily, to protect the right 621 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 3: to abortion. And I'm not pro abortion any way, shape 622 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: or form. I think that too many babies in this 623 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 3: country could be adopted. I know some friends that can't 624 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 3: have kids. They try, they try VF, they try everything, 625 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: and then they go to adopt and their only options 626 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: are like the Russian and the Chinese baby, and they 627 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 3: want an American baby, but it's going to cost a fortune. 628 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: So I think if we incentivize people more to all right, 629 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 3: if you could carry it to term, like in the 630 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: movie Juno, then maybe you get like a nice check 631 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: for the effort, so to speak, and that's that and 632 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: maybe people will think, well, that's cold, but no, actually 633 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: the baby stays alive, gets a happy home, and they 634 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 3: have parents that will appreciate having the baby because they 635 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: know how hard it was to adopt. But the point 636 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: is that Ohio, same thing. They passed a referendum to 637 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: protect abortion rights, and you could go down the line. 638 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: It should be a state by state issue. And actually 639 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: now there have been more abortion since Roe v. Wade 640 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: struck down than before it.

Probably an idiot 646 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 3: will say that there's no accountability. No one gets fired 647 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 3: for lying on that network.

After this, 674 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: I'll just say one more thing on this, and that 675 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: is that my girlfriend said to me just a few 676 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago. They said, be honest, if you had been elected, 677 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: we would not have been allowed to vote on abortion. 678 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: And I said, it was literally on the ballot with me. 679 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: Do you do you not understand how it works? 680 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: And but I mean truly there is a And the 681 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: other girl that was there was like, on our seat, 682 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: our governor wouldn't let us. And I said, you guys, 683 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: the people put these amendments on. It's not the elected's 684 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: they don't get a choice. It was the people that 685 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: got these amendments on the ballot. And then the people 686 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: vote on it. And that's what Roe v. Wade of 687 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: being overturned did. It sent it back to the people. 688 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: And so I said, if you are that passionate about 689 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: it in your state, then you should get a petition 690 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: together and you should try to put it on your ballot. 691 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: And you know, every. 692 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: State's different, but the people get to make that choice 693 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: if that's what you're passionate about. But you're right, adults, 694 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: they just don't, don't. We have not educated people on 695 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: how government works. 696 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 3: No. I mean I saw some sort of stat recently 697 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: Twitter where something like fifteen sixteen percent of people can 698 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 3: name even three Supreme Court justices. I mean, I'm not 699 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 3: saying I need to know all of them, right, all nine, 700 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 3: but ken you know of majority? I mean, particularly since 701 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: three were just not dominated not too long ago. Can 702 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 3: we do that? But no, they can't, Like some people 703 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 3: don't even know about certain amendments, just basic things. And 704 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 3: I think that goes back to our education system because 705 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: we're teaching way too much about gender identification, sexual orientation, race, 706 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 3: all those things instead of the basic blocking and tackling 707 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 3: things not just about government and our history and how 708 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 3: government works, but credit and how do I balance a checkbook, 709 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 3: And what does it mean when I get a credit 710 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 3: card that has X amount of interest? So what happens 711 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 3: when I only pay the minimum amount? How much do 712 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 3: I have to save in order to afford a home 713 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 3: in my community? How much do I have to put down? 714 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: All those things? And I don't think our kids are 715 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: prepared whatsoever for things that matter most in life. Instead, 716 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 3: we're concentrating on all of these things, and we have 717 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 3: a very I don't want to say a dumb electorate, 718 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: but a miss and underinformed electorate. And that's what Democrats 719 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 3: really try to take advantage of. 720 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: Well, we also started testing to things like reading, writing, 721 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: and math, and then we said, because we have to 722 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: test to those things and our schools get money based 723 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: on the testing, then history will go by the wayside. 724 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: And so there's not as much requirement for history. And 725 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: if there is a requirement for history, then well you're 726 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: not testing to it. So it's not the big of 727 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: a deal if you don't do well in history. 728 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 2: I mean it really is. It's unintended consequences. 729 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's something that I've been talking 730 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: to people about a lot lately. It's like, if you 731 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: see a law. Then you have to think about the 732 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: unintended consequences as well, Like, think about all the how 733 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: this can affect. If you think it's great that the 734 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: environmental agency has emergency powers, well think about what could 735 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: they do with it that I wouldn't like, you know 736 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: how much of my freedoms am I giving up for this? 737 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: It's like, you think it's great that the Michigan state 738 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: government came out and said, we're putting We're going to 739 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: take a billion and a half taxpayer dollars to build 740 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: housing to solve the housing crisis? Do you want the 741 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: government owning the housing? 742 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 2: Is not a good idea. No. 743 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 3: In Jersey, we had this plastic bag van as the 744 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 3: worst idea in history because they charge now like twenty 745 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 3: five cents to you want a bag to walk out 746 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 3: of a grocery store with, but no one remembers to 747 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: bring back the bag to pack the bags up again. 748 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 3: So now we have this overwhelming like surplus of plastic 749 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 3: bags that are going into the garbage and eventually back 750 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 3: into the environment. It's like a horrible thing. Or electric vehicles, 751 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the best example. I lived in Hoboken, 752 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 3: New Jersey for a while. It's it's like a small city, right, 753 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 3: and most of the apartments don't have garages. You got 754 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 3: to park on the street. So I'm wondering, Okay, if 755 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: I am mandated like I am in New Jersey, then 756 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 3: I can only buy electric vehicles. That's gonna happen. Where 757 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 3: am I charging this thing? Exactly right? Or what happens 758 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 3: when I break down, I run out of gasol or 759 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 3: I run out of my charge in this case, right, 760 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: what tow truck has the charger on it to come 761 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 3: out and charge me up? And oh, by the way, 762 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 3: it's gonna take like four hours, right. Oh, and by 763 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 3: the way, I don't have sixty thousand dollars laying around 764 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 3: to buy one of these things. So symbolism is great 765 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: until it meets actual reality. And it was the same 766 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 3: thing with the border. All right, everybody come on over, 767 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 3: it's fine, open arms. And I was like, uh, oh, boy, 768 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 3: that's doing horrible things too, like Detroit's surpl a budget, right, 769 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 3: because now you have to allocate all this money away 770 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 3: from sanitation, police and education to people that aren't supposed 771 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 3: to be here and we're supposed to take care of 772 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 3: them now. So again, rhetoric meets reality. That's what I 773 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 3: was going for, and the book talks a lot about that, 774 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: how reality reality bites at this point because the rhetoric 775 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 3: got us to this place in the first place. 776 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you make us such a great point. 777 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 3: Though. 778 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 1: We have this new apartment like complex. I mean there's 779 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: tons of apartments in this it just just was built. 780 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: And I think about the size of the parking lot 781 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: there alone, and I haven't really thought about that. But 782 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: where would you charge your car if you all had 783 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: right exactly? That's yes, I guess you would have to 784 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: have one connected. Then you have to pay for the energy, 785 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: and then how does the energy? Then you do you 786 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: rip up the whole parking lot and put these I mean, 787 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 1: it's just it makes no sense. 788 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 3: Right. Is a landlord responsible for putting in the chargers? 789 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 3: Or do I buy the charger? And even though I'm renting, 790 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 3: I could plant it in the ground. I mean I 791 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 3: did this one time in my apartment in Hoboken where 792 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 3: I wanted the NFL Sunday ticket, so I got a 793 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: direct TV dish and put it up on the roof. 794 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 3: Landlady was not happy about that at all. You can't 795 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: do that. I'm like but I rend here, but you 796 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 3: don't own you can't put things on the roof, and 797 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 3: then she threw me out like ten months later. Anyway, 798 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 3: I probably should be sharing this, but it led me 799 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 3: eventually marrying my wife, so I guess it worked out 800 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 3: pretty well. 801 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. See God always has a good plan. 802 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so, and he had a good plan 803 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: when he told you to write a book. 804 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 2: So I want you. 805 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to hold it up again.
