1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: you and Senator it is a big win for Donald Trump. 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: This is, as some have described it, two in a 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 2: row and two last places in a row for Nicky Haley. 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: She says she's not dropping out, she's just begun and 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: this thing's going to go on for quite a few 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: more states. 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: In her words. Give me your reaction to that. 10 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: Well, the simple reality is this thing is over. Trump 11 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 3: has won the Republican nomination. You and I are sitting here. 12 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: It is eleven eleven pm on Tuesday night. So the 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 3: votes are not fully counted. But as we sit here 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 3: right now, seventy seven percent of the votes are counted. 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 3: In New Hampshire, Donald Trump has one hundred and thirty 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: nine thousand and one, which is fifty five percent, and 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: Nicky Haley has one hundred and nine thousand and six 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty nine which is forty three v zero 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: point four percent. So as we sit here right now, 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has an eleven and a half point lead 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: in New Hampshire. The race has been called for Trump. 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: He's gonna win New Hampshire. And so where do we stand? 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: Where we stand is Trump won Iowa by thirty points, 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 3: and Trump has one New Hampshire, and it's very likely 25 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: he will live one New Hampshire by double digits. The 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: exact margin won't be known until late in the night, 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: but it is very likely to be double digits. Right now, 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 3: it's eleven and a half points if any candidate wins 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: Iowa and New Hampshire. The fat Lady singing Katie bar 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 3: the door, it is over. The big question right now 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: is what is Nicki Haley doing. I don't know. I 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: think it is seventy thirty that Nicky Haley stays in now. Frankly, 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: the rational thing for Nicki Haley to do is drop 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: out now. And the reason is simple. She's headed to 35 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: South Carolina. That is her home state. She was the 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: governor there. She is going to get clobbered in South Carolina. 37 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: It's going to be double digits. It could be as 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: big as iwa it could be thirty points. And I 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: will say, when you lose your home state by that 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: kind of crushing double digit margin, it leaves a mark. Now, 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 3: I mentioned I think the odds are seventy thirty that 42 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: Nikki Haley does not drop out. She said that tonight. 43 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: Her speech tonight was defiant. I'm staying in, I'm going 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: the distance. I get that. And the reason I think 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: the odds are seventy thirty she stays in is because 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: she has a crap ton of money. The billionaire donor 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 3: class is all behind her. Now, I got to say 48 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: the billionaire donor class. Look, I know a lot of 49 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 3: the Republican billionaires. They are astonishingly consistently wrong when it 50 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: comes to politics. They keep supporting candidates who lose. And 51 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: what's weird. Look, these billionaires have been incredibly successful business leaders. 52 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: They know how to run companies, they know how to 53 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: sell goods to customers, they know how to respond to data, 54 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: and yet when it comes to politics, they are myopic. 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: Their worldview is essentially, well, all the people in the 56 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: country club agree with me, so that's what I'm going 57 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 3: to do, And they don't notice that they keep losing 58 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: and losing and losing and losing, and they don't have 59 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: the rational response when your approach to politics is this 60 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: isn't working, is to say, what am I doing wrong? 61 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: Like apparently I'm misunderstanding. Oddly enough, the entire country is 62 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: not like the country club in the Hamptons, like there 63 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: are people in Flyover country who have a different view. 64 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: The simple reality Nikki Haley has run as an unapologetic 65 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: establishment moderate. 66 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where money is coming from. 67 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: Look, look that's catnip to Republican donors. They are so excited. Yes, 68 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: that's what they want. They want an establishment moderate. Listen, 69 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: in virtually every state in the country, the numbers are 70 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: establishment moderates are about thirty percent of the primary vote. Now, 71 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: if you want to appeal to thirty percent of the 72 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 3: primary bote, that's a great thing to run. As the 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: problem is, and it's a simple question of math. Thirty 74 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: percent does not beat seventy percent. And I don't know 75 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: how these gazillionaires twist themselves into pretzels thinking my thirty 76 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: percent is going to beat seventy percent because something's going 77 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 3: to change. The rational thing, as I said, would be 78 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: for her to drop out. I don't think she will 79 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: because she's got so much money. As we talked about 80 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: in yesterday's podcast, and this was an unusual week. I 81 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 3: want to encourage you guys, if you are interested in 82 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: the presidential primary process, this is going to be a 83 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: week that we're going to put out five podcasts we 84 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 3: put out one Monday. I gotta say, Ben, you really 85 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: liked the Monday podcast? Is that fair to say? I did? 86 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: It was one of my favorite ones we've ever done. 87 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: So why so tell people why? Because for folks that 88 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: are listening, if you didn't listen to Monday's podcasts, I 89 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 3: think you ought to go back and listen. But Ben, 90 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: tell people why. 91 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. 92 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: I love when people get to see the side of 93 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: you that I know and I get to see and 94 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: to hear you talk personally about your presidential campaign in 95 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: sixteen and the blood, sweat and tears that goes into 96 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: a political campaign, being privileged to be around your campaign 97 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: in sixteen and working on the Bush campaign in two 98 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: thousand and four and others, and understanding just how intense 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: it is and to get your perspective on all of this, 100 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: but also your memories was something that I was so 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: happy that other people got to hear it because I've 102 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: gotten to get some of those stories from you, and 103 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: I even got some news stories from you on Monday 104 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: as well. But we got done with it and I 105 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 2: was like, this might be one of my favorite shows 106 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: that we've ever done. Because it just showed a sight 107 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: of you that I get to see that I want 108 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: everybody else to see. 109 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: If that makes sense. 110 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: Well, look, one of the things that I think makes 111 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: this podcast work is you and I are genuinely friends. 112 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: We hang out together. We play tennis together. You kill me. 113 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: We play pickleball together. You kind of suck at pickleball, dude, 114 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: It's true. 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: I hate it. 116 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 3: We haven't played poker yet together, but I'll kick your 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: ass at poker. 118 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: I love the trash talking. This is also very accurate. 119 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: It's extremely accurate. 120 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: I won't remind you the one time we did play poker, 121 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: but we'll keep going. 122 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: Look when we started this podcast, and this is pre you. 123 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: When I started this podcast with Michael Knowles and by 124 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: the ways, like four years ago, and I didn't know 125 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: what the hell of podcast was. I remember our first 126 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: guest was Lindsey Graham. Yeah, Lindsay Graham came down to 127 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: a basement in Washington, d C. And his question was 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: what the hell is a podcast? And I wasn't much 129 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: I felt sort of avant guarde because I knew what 130 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: a podcast was, but I wasn't much more educated than 131 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: he was. And some of the early and best advice 132 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: I got is they said, Look of the best podcast 133 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: is like you and I are sitting down at a 134 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: dinner table. We have a couple of glasses of wine, 135 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: and we're feeling good and we're talking, and we try 136 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: to do that. We try to have a real conversation 137 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,119 Speaker 3: and because we're friends, because we've got sometimes we agree 138 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: a lot, but sometimes we disagree, we've got different takes, 139 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: and the back and forth is what makes it interesting. 140 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: And all right, I'm gonna give all the podcast listeners 141 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: an interesting insight. You may be wondering, Hey, wait, why 142 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: do we have a podcast on Monday and then a 143 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: bonus podcast on Tuesday, and then a podcast on Wednesday, 144 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 3: and then a podcast we're going to have on Friday 145 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: and then one on Saturday.

Why So Sunday afternoon we recorded the Monday 149 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: podcast and we did it, and it's funny. Ben had 150 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: a bunch of topics he wanted. He wanted to get 151 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 3: into China, he wanted to get into the border. He 152 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: wanted to get into all this stuff, like all these ideas, 153 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: and I was like, you know, I just think, like Iowen, 154 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: New Hampshire will consume it all. And he's like, I 155 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: don't know, that's ten fifteen minutes. I'm like, yeah, No, 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: I kind of feel like I have more to say. 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you were right on that one. 158 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: And the interesting thing is, look to folks listening to this. 159 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: You and I don't know what the hell we're gonna say. 160 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: We're doing a podcast right now. You don't know what 161 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to say. I don't know what I'm gonna say. 162 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: I mean, we part of what hopefully makes this interesting. 163 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: We just have a conversation, and hopefully you and I 164 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: are relatively non knowledgeable people and we have conversations about 165 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: issues that matter and we sort of go back and 166 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: forth and follow where the music goes. Anyway, Sunday we're 167 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: sitting there, we're doing YouTube, and we recorded what ended 168 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: up being an hour and ten minute podcast, and we 169 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: started with I'm Talking with I when I did sort 170 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: of a deep dive in the history of eye with 171 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: the history of New Hampshire, the history of South Carolina, 172 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: and I thought it was interesting. I like, like, look, 173 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: this is what has determined the leader of the free 174 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: world for the last fifty years. That's interesting stuff to me. 175 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: But then after like thirty forty minutes we started getting 176 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: into you asked, well, what does it mean to drop out? 177 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: Ron Dessatus just dropped out? What's that like? And listen, 178 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 3: there are not many people on planet Earth that have 179 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: gone through like a winning presidential campaign that you almost 180 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 3: win and then you don't and then you drop out 181 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 3: and sort of the trauma and the personal relationships and 182 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: the grassroots and all of the dynamics, and so I 183 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 3: tried to talk about all of that, and that was 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: sort of the second half of the pod we recorded. 185 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 3: And then afterwards Ben said to me, Hey, I love 186 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: this pod, but we get a problem. The second half 187 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 3: is like a thousand times than the first half. Like 188 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: the first half is kind of interesting in academic and theoretical, 189 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 3: but the second half is And Ben, what you said 190 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: is what you just said a minute ago, like, is 191 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: why I listened to the podcast because it's stuff you 192 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: can't hear anywhere other than Verdict. It's like insight from 193 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: someone who's run for president come in second and almost one, 194 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: and so you and I made a weird decision. We said, Okay, 195 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: we have an hour and ten minute podcast we recorded, 196 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: let's take the second half, cut it off and make 197 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: it Monday's podcast because you said, and I didn't disagree, 198 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: that's the most interesting and stimulating part. So let's give 199 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: people what they'll like the best. But then I said, look, 200 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 3: I thought the stuff about the history of Iowa and 201 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: New Hampshire, South Carolina for me was interesting. Maybe I'm 202 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: enough of a political geek that I'm interested in stuff 203 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: that is not as sort of scintillating, but I thought 204 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 3: it was really good stuff. And so we came up 205 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: with Initially, I said, well, what if we put it 206 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: out on Wednesday? And Ben said, all right, you moron, 207 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: you can't put it on a Wednesday because Tuesday night 208 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: the New Hampshire Wesday. Yeah, so if we put out 209 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 3: an academic discussion of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina 210 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: on Wednesday, right after what happened in New Hampshire, people 211 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 3: will be like, what the hell's wrong with you idiots? Yeah, 212 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: so we came up with, all right, screw it, let's 213 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: chop it up, make it a second pod. We'll just 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: put it out on Tuesday Bonus pod see if you 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: like it, and now we're here Wednesday. But the point 216 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: of all of this is that it's meant to be 217 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: real time, not different from right now. You're in Texas, 218 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: I'm in DC. But if we were sitting at a 219 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: dinner table, this is what I'd be saying to you, 220 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: and you'd be saying the same. 221 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Presumably absolutely, And that's the part. 222 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: That's the part that I love the most about getting 223 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: to do this with you, is that people get to 224 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,479 Speaker 2: hopefully see that aspect and hear these types of conversations. 225 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: And that's when we started tonight. I was like, all right, well, 226 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: I got to know your thoughts on Nicki Haley. 227 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: Should she drop out? And who gets to make that decision? 228 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: If you've got the money to keep going, and Nicki 229 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: Haley clearly has the establishment I would call it the 230 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: rhino money to keep going. What is in it for 231 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 2: her to keep going if you keep losing? I want 232 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on that. Number one and number two. 233 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: There is some politicking involved in this decision, and there's 234 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: a theory that if she can hang on long enough, 235 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 2: it gives her a better chance of being chosen as 236 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: the VP to unify the party if it's divided for 237 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: weeks on end. States keep coming and going and coming 238 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: and going. And there's people that have said to me 239 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 2: in the last eight or nine hours, hey, is Nicki 240 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: Haley basically running for vice president? If she can extend 241 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: it long enough, she's the last one standing that it 242 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: may be in a position where Donald Trump's is fine, 243 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 2: I got to pick you to unite the party because 244 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: we're so divided because of this drag out, knockdown primary 245 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: that we have your reaction about those questions. 246 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 3: I don't think Niki Haley is running for VP anymore. 247 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 3: I don't think Trump's gonna pick her as VP. I 248 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: think she's running. She's decided. I am the great hope 249 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: for the establishment. I am the never Trumper vision. And 250 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: the problem is a lot of those never Trumpers have 251 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: a ton of money and they can't stand Trump, and 252 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: they'll keep writing checks, but they don't think enough about 253 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: politics to think, how do you get to fifty one percent? 254 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: And so I think she will stay in this race because, 255 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: as we talked about on Monday and Tuesday, the reason 256 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: virtually every single presidential candidate in history drops out is 257 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: the same reason they run out of money. Nikki Haley 258 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 3: hasn't run out of money. She's got people who will 259 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 3: keep writing checks as they hate Trump, so I think 260 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: she'll stick around. Now here's why I think it's dumb. 261 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: I think every day and every week she sticks around 262 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: will hurt her. And getting crushed in her home state 263 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 3: I think will do real damage. And in my view, 264 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: where we are right now, this is entirely about twenty 265 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: twenty eight. I think if Nicki were rational, and I 266 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 3: doubt she is. I like Nikki, and look, Nicky's a 267 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: friend of mine, She's she's a nice person. But almost 268 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 3: every presidential candidate is surrounded by sycophans. They're surrounded by 269 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: sycophants who tell you what you want to hear. But 270 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 3: even more importantly, their paycheck depends on you staying in 271 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: the race. And so if everyone around you keeps getting paid, 272 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: if you stay in the race, you know what's amazing. 273 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 3: Their advice is stay in the race. Yeah, because they 274 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: want those paychecks. And so at this point, I think 275 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: they're looking forward to twenty twenty eight. I think any 276 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: one of them that has an IQ in the double digit, 277 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: forget triple digits, let's just get to double in the 278 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: double digits. Recognizes Trump's won, He's going to be the nominee. 279 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: But they're thinking, now, okay, let's stick around a long time, 280 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: let's unify all the establishment moderate vote, and will be 281 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 3: the great establishment hope in twenty twenty eight. Well, look, 282 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: good luck to that again. Thirty percent doesn't beat seventy 283 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: percent and getting your ass kicked in South Carolina and 284 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: then in Super Tuesday and state after state after state. 285 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: That's fine. The donors may not think that. They may think, gosh, 286 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: if you lose every state, that's a great path to 287 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: being elected president. I guess they can think that. I 288 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: don't understand the reason behind it. So if I were 289 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: on Nicky's team, I'd be saying, hang it up, it's 290 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: time now. I'm not calling on her to do that, because, 291 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: as we've talked about in this podcast, it's not my 292 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: role to drop out. She's got to decide. But I 293 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: think the path to victory for her is zero. Trump 294 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 3: is the Republican nominee. He may win in November, he 295 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 3: may not. I hope he wins. I'm supporting him. I 296 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: don't know. I think he can win, but I think 297 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: he also can lose. So I'm very worried about November, 298 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: but I think the path for Nicki Haley to win 299 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: the primary is zero point zero zero one percent. 300 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: For ten years, Patriot Mobil has been America's only Christian 301 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider, and when I say only trust me, 302 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: they are the only one. Patriot Mobile is a great supporter, 303 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: not only this show, which is why I'm proud to 304 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: partner with them, because they support conservatives. 305 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: Now. 306 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, my New Year's resolution was this 307 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: stop giving money to people that literally hate my values, 308 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: hate what I believe in. And that's one of the 309 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: reasons why when I look down at my cell phone 310 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: the top left corner, it says Patriot Patriot Mobile offers 311 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: you just like I have right now, dependable nationwide coverage, 312 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: giving you the ability to access all three major networks, 313 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: which means you get the same coverage that you become 314 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: accustomed to without funding the Left. You may not realize 315 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: Big Mobile gives big donations to Planned Parenthood and a 316 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: democratic causes and candidates all over the country. So why 317 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 2: not switch to Patriot Mobile? Because when you do, not 318 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: only are you sending a message that you support free speech, 319 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, as 320 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: well as our military, our veterans, and our first responders. 321 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: But you're also. 322 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: Making an impact and setting up for what you believe 323 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: in moving forward with every single bill you pay. That's 324 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: because they take five percent of your bill every single month, 325 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: that no extra charge you, and give it back to 326 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: the organizations that I just mentioned.

Senator, I want to also 334 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 2: ask you about one of the things that Nicki Haley 335 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: said in her speech tonight, and she said it several 336 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: times over the last couple of days, and that is 337 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: that America doesn't need to eighty year olds trying to 338 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: run this country, really turning this into an age issue. 339 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: I think that can work with Joe Biden, but it's 340 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 2: not so much as age as it's a clear cognitive decline. 341 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: You don't see that from Donald Trump. You certainly didn't 342 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: see it on stage tonight. And this campaign schedule and 343 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: the way that he's out there campaigning is pretty intense. 344 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: When you look at her saying basically, vote for me 345 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: because I'm younger and he's too old. We've seen that 346 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: and it backfired and Ronald Reagan it worked his advantage. 347 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: Do you think this could be a major mistake? 348 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: Well, as you note, Reagan, when Walter Mondale tried to 349 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: make that an issue against him, said listen, I'll commit 350 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: right now. The age issue is there, and I'm not 351 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: going to use my opponent's youth and inexperience against him. 352 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: And it was in the debate everyone cracked up laughing. 353 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: Bondale cracked up laughing. It was just it was a 354 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: funny line. By the way, you look at the backstories 355 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: of the debate, prep Reagan's this is an eighty four 356 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: has reelected. Reagan's team was terrified of the age question. 357 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: They were worried that Reagan was too old, and Reagan 358 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: basically told him I got this, and he did it 359 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 3: crushed the issue. Now, listen, both Joe Biden and Donald 360 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 3: Trump were older than Reagan was in eighty four. With Biden, 361 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: the mental deterioration is massive, It is obvious. It is 362 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: a real problem. I fully expect the Democrats to lean 363 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 3: in and make the point that Trump has mental deterioration, 364 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 3: not because it's true, but because they're trying to protect Biden. 365 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 3: And so I get why Nicky's doing it. Look, NICKI 366 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: is thirty years younger than Trump, so so fine making 367 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 3: that argument, and people are all excited. So I'm in 368 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: DC on Capitol Hill, the reporters were all parapatetic about 369 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 3: Oh Trump confused Nicky Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Let me 370 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: tell you some reality. If you give a ton of 371 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: speeches with TV cameras on you all the time, you 372 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 3: will misspeak, you will say some dumb stuff. And I'm 373 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: going to tell a story, one of the most embarrassing 374 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: stories from the twenty sixteen presidential campaign. So the last 375 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 3: state that I competed in was Indiana, and as we 376 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: talked about on Monday, I dropped out after we lost Indiana. 377 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: One of the very last campaign events we did was 378 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 3: in the gym where they filmed the movie Hoosiers. 379 00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, and. 380 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: Hosiers is one of the greatest all time movies ever, 381 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 3: and it may be it may be my single favorite 382 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: sports movie. I like, I Love Hoosiers. Gene Hackman's a 383 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: phenomenal actor. It's a great movie, Dennis Hopper, it just 384 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 3: it's fantastic. 385 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: And it's also, by the way, on brand with your 386 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: passions for people that don't realize this your your way 387 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: of getting exercises playing basketball. You still play two to 388 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: three times a week every week, and that's that's what 389 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: you absolutely love to do, is to play basketball. So 390 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: for you to know that, you know the the movie 391 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: Husers like the back of your hand. 392 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 3: I love Hoosiers. So we did this great rally in 393 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: the Hoosiers gym and it's the it's the one where 394 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: they filmed it the movie. So it's the one in 395 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 3: the little town. And so there's a great scene in 396 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 3: the movie Hoosiers where this this little little team makes 397 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: it to the big state championship. The big state championship 398 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 3: is in Indianapolis, and this tiny country team is scared because, 399 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 3: like the team from Indianapolis, it's a big public school. 400 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: They're guys that are big, they're tall, they're like slam 401 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 3: dunking like they're a hardcore inner city team and these 402 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 3: like little country hicks are like, okay, how do we 403 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 3: compete against these guys? And there's a great scene where 404 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: Gene Hackman, they're in the gym in Indianapolis, the big city, 405 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: and he goes and sends someone on the team. He says, go, 406 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: go run a tape measure from the hoop down to 407 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: the floor, and he said, measure the height of it. 408 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: And he measures it and it's ten feet and Gene Hackman, 409 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: the coach, goes ten feet exact same distance as our 410 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 3: gym back home. And it's a way of making the 411 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: point that like, look, we're playing the same game. It 412 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: may feel scary in the big city, but this is 413 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 3: the same game now. I was making the point because 414 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: we just had the New York primary where Trump had won, 415 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 3: and I was making the point, look, this is the 416 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: same but we can win here. So I had my 417 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: body guy, Bruce, whom I love. He he was the 418 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 3: field goal kicker for Oklahoma State. We traveled all over 419 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 3: the country together. I had him, I said in the 420 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 3: middle of the speech in the Hoosiers gym, I said, 421 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: Bruce measure a tape measure from the rim to the floor, 422 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: and I said ten feet ten feet, the same as 423 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: it is in Indianapolis. And I was quoting the movie. 424 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: And I left the speech and I felt pretty good. 425 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, I give a pretty good humdinger of 426 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: a speech. And I walked off the stage and my 427 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: team was ashen. They were like, oh my god, oh 428 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 3: my god, like they were horrified. I'm like, what, what, Like, 429 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 3: what did I do wrong? And apparently instead of saying 430 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 3: measure to the rim, I said measure to the ring. 431 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 3: And I didn't hear it. Like if you talk a 432 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: million words, Look, you're a talk radio host, how many 433 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 3: things have you said in the microphone? And if you 434 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 3: talk a million words, I didn't hear it. I said ring, 435 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 3: and I just my brain like it was a brain fart. 436 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 437 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: Diaz, who produces a show, has been with me now 438 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: for a decade, and there's and and he laughs. He says, 439 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: that's why he's here, because there's times I've said things 440 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: like that's not right, and I'm like, what do you 441 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: mean That's not what I said. 442 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you did. 443 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: You said it wrong, And then sure enough he'll play 444 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: it back to me, and I'm like, yep, I said 445 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: that wrong. I got to correct it on the air 446 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 2: during the next you know, in the commercial break. 447 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: He's like, you got it wrong. I'm like, there's no. 448 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: Way I screwed that up and said it that badly 449 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 2: or missed you know, set it in correctly. 450 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, you did. I was listening. It happens. 451 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 2: It just you put a microphone in front of somebody 452 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: three hours a day, as. 453 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 3: I say, say that many words, something you're gonna mess up. 454 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: So so when I walked off stage, my team was horrified. 455 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: I'm like, what I thought I did a good job, 456 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: Like what what? I was really confused. So to call 457 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: the rim a ring. Every late night host just had 458 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: a field day with it. They're like, oh, the basketball 459 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 3: ring and playing playing baseball with a stickety stick and 460 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 3: football you throw the leather volleyball like it was. Look, 461 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: the jokes are not hard and they were funny. I 462 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 3: actually watch them and laughs. I'm like, yeah, that really 463 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 3: sounds funny, like that what an idiot? And the thing, 464 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: as you noted, that was like so painful. Listen. They 465 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: are a crap ton of things in which I'm really ignorant. 466 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: But I love hoops. So today I played two and 467 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 3: a half hours of hoops. I play twice a week. 468 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: I typically play Tuesday afternoons and Sunday night. I play 469 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: probably five to six hours of hoops a week. I 470 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 3: in high school, I was a mediocre to poor high 471 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 3: school basketball player. I'd say I'm still a kind of 472 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: mediocre to poor high school basketball player. I've about maintained 473 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 3: my skill thirty five years later. But the crushing I 474 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 3: love hoops. I DVR every single Rockets game and I 475 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 3: watch most of them like it's basketball. If there's a 476 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: sport I know and care about and love, it's basketball. 477 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 3: And everyone mocked the hell out of me for calling 478 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 3: the rim the ring, and I know what the hell 479 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 3: the ring is. Look, I just did that there. I 480 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: know what the hell the rim is. That's a good illustration. 481 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: So all of the media is in a tizzy that 482 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 3: Trump had a comment where he confused Nicky Haley and 483 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi. And I get it. It's easy, and it's 484 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 3: frankly valuable if you have a political agenda, re elect 485 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 3: Joe Biden, and the American voters are really concerned about 486 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: the intellectual diminution of Joe Biden one of the best 487 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: strategies to counter and say, yeah, but Trump is totally 488 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 3: old and feeble too. Now, I think it's crap. And 489 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna make a challenge to 490 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: the press and the Biden White House. Let's have the 491 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 3: November election decided right now. Give us Donald Trump and 492 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 3: give us Joe Biden for an hour on a cognitive test, 493 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: and the winner is the president. I'll take that because 494 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 3: Trump will kick Biden's ass on that. And by the way, 495 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 3: no one will take us up on that now, of course, 496 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: not because there is a media and pr mandate. I 497 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: think Nicky is leaning into a narrative the press wants 498 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 3: to run with. And I get why. Look, if you're 499 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 3: running against someone, if the press likes a narrative, you 500 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: want to use it against your opponent. But I think 501 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 3: it just doesn't fly the distance between. Is Trump older 502 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: than he was eight years ago? Yeah, like the rest 503 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 3: of us are. You're older. I am like, that's part 504 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 3: of life. But there is no universe in which Trump's 505 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: mental condition is remotely comparable to where Joe Biden's massive 506 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 3: deterioration is. 507 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: Let me ask you one another question on this. 508 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: At what point does Nicki Haley become and these are 509 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 2: my words, I want to be queer about that, a 510 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: useful idiot for the Democratic Party, for the left, because 511 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: the longer that they can drag this out, and I'm 512 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: talking about the media and the Democratic Party, the better 513 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: off it is for Joe Biden. You're not having to 514 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: focus on one on one debates and attacks and back 515 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 2: and forth even through the media with a Republican candidate 516 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: and a Democratic candidate. It also, you know, they've tied 517 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: him up in court. Now they can tie him up 518 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: in a primary that can be extended. At what point 519 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: does it become a real problem for Donald Trump to 520 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: unify the country There is specifically conservatives the Republican Party, 521 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: and it becomes such a big advantage for Joe Biden. 522 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not worried about that. My prediction right now 523 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 3: is Nicky Haley will drop out eighteen hours after the 524 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: South Carolina primary. 525 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: It be sure to beat down, you think, and it's 526 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: her home state. 527 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think she'll last to Super Tuesday. Listen 528 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 3: the impact. By the way, going back to twenty sixteen, 529 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 3: Marco Rubio who Marco stuck around too long and the 530 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 3: fact that he's stuck around helped give Trump the nomination, 531 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: but Marco dropped out right after he got crushed in 532 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: the Florida primary. You cannot lose your home state, and 533 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: particularly lose it badly and survive. And so I think Nicki. 534 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: The smart thing for NICKI to do would be tomorrow 535 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 3: to suspend her campaign. I don't think she will because 536 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: I think she's got money in the bank and she 537 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: wants to go. And you know, look, as they say 538 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: in dumb or Dumber, you know, you know, do you 539 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: have a one million chance? Yes, so you're saying I've 540 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 3: got a chance. 541 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 542 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: I think that's where she is. She's like one in 543 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 3: a million, let's go. But I think getting crushed in 544 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 3: South Carolina will end that campaign. I also think every 545 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 3: day she stays in the race, she is hurting herself 546 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: for twenty eight And at this point, I view the 547 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: Haley campaign is entirely a twenty twenty eight campaign. Basically, 548 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 3: Nikki Haley is campaigning against Glenn Youngkin, who is going 549 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 3: to be the moderate establishment choice for thirty percent of 550 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: the primary base. Okay, we'll see, there'll be someone. There's 551 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: always someone. That's the way our primaries work, but I 552 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: think the more she gets beat, the weaker she is. 553 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty four and a lot of us are 554 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 2: trying to get our finances in order. And there is 555 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: some great news for homeowners, especially if you have got 556 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: a new year's resolution, which is to get those finances 557 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: in check.

Cenator, I want to 576 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: move to another issue real quick that has obviously become 577 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 2: a very. 578 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: Big deal and it deals with border security. 579 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: Obviously New Hampshire is important, but can you explain exactly 580 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: what just happened at the Supreme Court when it came 581 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court ruling that the Biden administration, in 582 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: a five to four decision can resume removal of the 583 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: razor wire that was installed by the State of Texas 584 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: along the border, specifically near Eagle Pass, and they say 585 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 2: at least while the litigation is ongoing. 586 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: What was even more. 587 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: Shocking, I think is the fact that Roberts and amy 588 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: Komy Barrett sided with left leaning justice to rule in 589 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 2: Biden Administration's favor and allow the Border Patrol to go 590 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: in and remove the razor wire, which the tech exist 591 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: National Guard then put back up. At least from the 592 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: latest videos we've seen from the border, this is a 593 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: shocking moment. Many people in Texas are angry about this, 594 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 2: saying what about states' rights here? And how could these 595 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: two concerted justices side with the Biden administration. 596 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 3: Look, this is a horrible decision. I'm angry about it. 597 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 3: It is deeply disturbing. Fact. Number one, we are seeing 598 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: an invasion at our southern border. Nine point six million 599 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants have crossed in under Joe Biden. It is deliberate. 600 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 3: He wants this to happen. It is the worst illegal 601 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 3: immigration in our nation's history. Number Two, it's deliberate. Biden 602 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 3: wants this to happen. The Democrats want this to happen. 603 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 3: They are facilitating it, they are accelerating it that they 604 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 3: are actively wanting more and more and more of it. 605 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 3: So Texas, understand annibly is responding to defend ourselves. I 606 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 3: commend our governor. I commend our state legislature for acting 607 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 3: to protect the sovereignty of Texas and for investing billions 608 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 3: of dollars in border security and law enforcement and putting 609 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 3: personnel in putting up barriers to try to stop this 610 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 3: invasion of our state. Now, what happened on this case? 611 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: It arose to the Supreme Court on an emergency appeal 612 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 3: on an injunction. There was an injunction against the federal 613 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: government to stop the federal government from cutting down the 614 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 3: razor wire, the Constantina wire that Texas had erected, and 615 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 3: the Fifth Circuit, the Federal Court of Appeals, had upheld 616 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 3: the injunction. What happened today Tuesday is the Supreme Court, 617 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 3: by a vote of five to four, vacated that injunction. 618 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 3: What that means is, right now, the federal government has 619 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 3: the legal ability to cut down that raz to allow 620 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants to continue invading the state. Now, the good news, 621 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 3: the merits of the appeal is still pending, and so 622 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: the Fifth Circuit can still rule on the merits of 623 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 3: the appeal as to whether Texas has the authority. And 624 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 3: by the way, the Supreme Court could still rule on 625 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 3: the appeal. So it is possible that Texas prevails. That 626 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 3: the results of an emergency appeal on an injunction are 627 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 3: not always the same as the merits results on the 628 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 3: substantive issue. So that's true. But at the end of 629 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 3: the day, you had the three Liberals plus John Roberts 630 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 3: plus Amy Cony, Burt Barrett ruling for the Biden administration 631 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 3: saying you can cut down this razor wire. Now, on 632 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 3: one level, I understand it that there is a heavy 633 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 3: presumption in Washington in federal courts, which is that the 634 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 3: federal government gets to trump the states, and that that 635 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: is part of the Constitution. Is a supremacy clause that 636 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 3: says the constance the federal law is the supreme law 637 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 3: of the land. I think it is a real problem 638 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 3: that John Roberts is a creature of Washington. I don't 639 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 3: think he understands what is happening at the southern border. 640 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 3: I think Amy Cony Barrett is a law professor from Indiana. 641 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 3: I don't think she has any understanding of what's happening 642 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 3: at the southern border in ordinary times. If this were 643 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 3: just a regular time and a state we're trying to 644 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: block what the federal government was doing, the Supreme Court 645 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 3: would fairly routinely rule with feeds. What I don't think 646 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 3: these justices have a real appreciation for is how horrifically 647 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 3: bad it is, how lawless it is what the Biden 648 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 3: administration is doing. There's never been a president who refuses 649 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 3: to follow the law like Joe Biden did. So here's 650 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 3: the statement that the Border Patrol Union put out today 651 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 3: quote the Supreme Court's decision today is going to undoubtedly 652 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 3: encourage more illegal immigration. Unfortunately, this means border patrol agents 653 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: are going to be tied up dealing with give ups 654 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 3: rather than going after the criminal elements that constantly cross 655 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 3: our border illegally. The administration, no doubt will say this 656 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 3: is a win for border security, but if they sought 657 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 3: rank and file input, they would be told this will 658 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 3: do the exact opposite. Agents support what Texas was trying 659 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 3: to accomplish in the absence of true border security policies 660 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 3: from this administration. I agree with the Border Patrol Union, 661 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 3: and so I am angry. I'm frustrated. I think the 662 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 3: Court is out of touch. I think they're just reflexively 663 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: agreeing with the federal government against the States, and I 664 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 3: think it is a profound mistake that continues the invasion 665 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 3: that's happening in our southern border. 666 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 2: To be clear, one other thing on that says, when 667 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 2: you hear the Biden administration say that they are working 668 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 2: to secure the border, I think everybody needs to lot 669 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: remember this moment that they not only are they not, 670 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: they went all the way to Supreme Court to make 671 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 2: sure they could unsecure portions of the border where raids 672 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 2: or wire was put up to secure the border. 673 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 3: That's how much I understand. Hold on, I want to 674 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 3: underscore what you're just saying. So today in the capital, 675 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 3: as I was walking to the Capitol, lots of reporters 676 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 3: wanted to ask me about this decision, and they said, well, gosh, 677 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 3: Biden just says if Congress will pass the supplemental bill, 678 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 3: then we'll have the ability to secure the border. And 679 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 3: I said, listen, understand, Biden doesn't want to secure the border. 680 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 3: He wants this crisis. He wants more illegal immigrants. And 681 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 3: I said, for Pete's sakes, Biden is actively litigating against 682 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 3: the state of Texas to stop Texas from securing the border. 683 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 3: That's what they want. They want this invasion. And that's 684 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 3: exactly what the Biden administration is doing with the emphatics 685 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 3: part of essentially every Democrat member of the Senate and 686 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 3: every Democrat member of the House. 687 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: It will be a huge election your issue. 688 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 2: We will keep covering it here that I can promise you, 689 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: but I want to make sure that we got this 690 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: out there. For many people that were asked that same question, 691 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 2: why do these two justices a lot of people. You 692 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 2: believe they were conservative and they screwed the state of Texas. 693 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 2: They screwed conservatives, they sided with a Biden administration. Your 694 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 2: explanation hopefully will make a little bit of sense to 695 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 2: people and understanding of why this happened. And it's still 696 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 2: being litigated. I think that's something else we need to 697 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 2: be clear about. It's still being litigated and that will 698 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 2: play out. How long will take for this to get 699 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 2: a final ruling through this litigation potentially years. 700 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 3: It could take a long time. And if Trump wins, 701 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 3: it'll become mooded because Trump will stop litigating. 702 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: There you go. 703 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 2: Don't forget we did this show Traditionally, Monday was a 704 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 2: Fridays and a weekend review on Saturdays. 705 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: This week we have given you five. 706 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 2: Episodes that you will get, so we will see you 707 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: back here on Friday morning.
