So Christmas is in 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.680 a week and they and they already headed to Delaware. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.679 I mean, it's the most coasting through the end of 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.880 your presidency that's happened since Woodrow Wilson was a stroke 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.040 victim lying in bed. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.360 Yeah. Yeah, I check Biden for a pulse, though I'm 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.080 not convinced he's still alive. Coming up this hour, I 0:01:55.080 --> 0:02:00.240 swear I'll pay this off. News about Kamala Harris's future 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:05.440 that will draw a guffaw guaranteed stay with us. But first, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.960 a gender bending madness update. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:23.600 First of all, in the least covered story in American history, 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.880 relatively the significance of it, a thirty three year old 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:32.160 transactivist went into the Rayburn office building on Capitol Hill 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.040 last week and assaulted a sitting congresswoman. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.200 A woman, a man beat down, a woman injured or 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.120 center to the hospital with fairly minor injuries to her 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.240 arm and r Well, yeah, yeah, and it got no 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.720 attention because well that might, you know, give conservatives a 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.760 way to bash transgender activists. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:59.040 Political violence, the capital man on woman. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:04.000 Get it's no attention. What is the depths of the 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.839 lying on the left and in the media. Well, we've 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.080 just well we got to get a longer poll to 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.880 find the bottom because that's some pretty deep lying in 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.960 dishonesty right there. It's just unbelievable. This just in The 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.280 Biden Harris administration issued an eight hundred and fifty thousand 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.600 dollars federal grant to provide training for military families to 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:28.400 affirm the gender identity of their children. Our tax dollars 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.640 are being spent to groom the children of our military members. 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:33.560 That's just beautiful. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.720 I want to flip that first story around. So we 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:41.280 have the first elected trans congressperson this year, imagine, and 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:47.440 it's a I shouldn't say it's but I'm so bad 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.680 with this. I am the way with trans the same 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.320 way I am. What time changes. I just can't get 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.480 them straight in my head. So is this a man 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.160 or a woman? This congress person dresses as a woman. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.520 I think, yeah, it's a dude is a woman. But 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.120 so if a guy came in and beat her. Came 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.280 into the Capitol, A straight guy came in and beat 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.119 her over political reasons. Yes, try to imagine the news 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.960 coverage on that. It would absolutely, one hundred percent be 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.720 the lead story on every evening newscast that day, maybe 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:19.679 for days to come. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.279 Yes, the president, that could be long think pieces on it. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:24.520 Right. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:30.080 Yeah, why would the reverse not get one percent of 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:30.679 the attention? 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.800 And once again we featured this story in twenty twenty three, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.120 Miss Netherlands was a dude who presented as a woman, 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.880 proving once again that men are better at everything, including 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.560 being a woman. Well the next year. This year, the 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.359 Missed the Netherlands beauty pageant is shutting down after a 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:56.920 thirty five year run. Evidently I'll be missed. Yeah. Evidently 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.600 having a dude win put off enough people that nobody 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.640 cares anymore pageant. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.320 They killed their own pageant by going woke. Takes a 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.880 lot of balls to run for Miss Universe as a guy. Yeah, Well, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.120 or just tuck them away though place, especially during the 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.640 swimsuit portion. Uh. 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.760 The director said that the pageant is now a platform 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:28.080 for positive stories about mental health and stories that inspire. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.640 The idea that beauty pageants still exists is amazing anyway, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.000 even the dudes. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.200 Went and Ryan's yeah, exactly, yeah, place, what are we 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.839 doing here? New York Times puts menstrual products in men's 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:44.680 bathrooms to quote support transgender and nine non binary colleagues. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.840 I'll tell you what I think this is. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.840 Having listened to a long conversation with the publisher of 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:57.200 the New York Times. What's his name, Schultzberger Seltzburger, Sultzberger, Yeah, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.760 current Seltzburger. That family has run the thing forever. I 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.520 listen to along podcast with him. They get they run 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:09.200 a lot of stories about how the problems with the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.840 trans stuff that we talk about, and how Europe has 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.320 banned it and there's all kinds of problems. They've run 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.320 a lot of stuff on like that. They get tremendous 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.400 pushback from the trans community. I think he's just trying 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.880 to appease a few of those people, while The New 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.720 York Times continues to be the leader I think among 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520 left leaning media who's honest about this stuff? 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.960 That is true? Yeah, and I do credit them for 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.440 their honest writing about the cast report in Britain and 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.159 how a w path is an utterly dishonest organization full 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.159 of radical activists. But the idea that you can appease 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.200 these people is a fool's errand because probably they push 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.120 and they push and they regardless. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.280 Of all the words I just said, having tampons and 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.000 men's bathrooms is crazy. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.400 Yeah, men, mestroid. It's never have and never will, is 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:59.280 the deal. Mind your own damn business. Yeah. Just one 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.920 percent of the time workforce identifies as non binary. Category 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.480 that includes transgender individuals, but also those who simply choose 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.680 not to identify with either gender so that people think 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.840 they're special and pay them more attention. It's just this, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:19.000 the narcissism of small distinctions. Writ large anyway, Good job 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.119 New York Times. Do whatever you want, it doesn't matter. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.640 Great piece by James Breslo in The California Globe about 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.200 the fact that the Supreme Court heard the US versus 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.680 Scurmetic case, the Tennessee case, which was about the twenty 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.880 six American states that say no, you can't perform these 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.280 experiments on children, these gender bending experiments. There's no medical 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:46.240 basis on which to do these. Well, they're experimental treatments 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:50.480 that have permanent effects. Anyway, they point out in the 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.520 California Globe, and they mentioned the radicalization of the American 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.960 Academy of Pediatricians and American Psychology Association. But those organizations 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.120 have in twenty I think it's twenty four states or 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:12.160 twenty five, they have outlawed counseling to help that adolescent 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.040 be more comfortable with the sex that they are. Wow, 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:23.480 they've declared it conversion counseling or what's the other derogatory 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:28.200 term they use for it. It's like they don't say, oh, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:33.680 praying away the gay or conversion therapy, legitimate psychological help 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.559 for troubled kids. Well, that's interesting. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:41.560 They're calling this conversion therapy, which is, you know, got 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:46.640 a bad rap because there were in theory these religious 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.720 institutions it would take a gay kid and try to 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:49.920 convince them they're not gay. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.800 But this is the opposite. Well, right, so twenty five 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.920 states have made psychotherapy to reduce dysphoria in children under 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.720 eighteen illegal. It's illegal to help them through this, But 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.120 in those states, the surgeries and the hormones are still legal. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:16.800 So you literally must only push the kid down that 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.160 conveyor belt of radical a gender theory, and you can't 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.320 even try to help them, even though study after study 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.360 shows the vast majority of kids grow out of it. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.280 I'm thinking, if there's a little helpful counseling, they all 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:29.880 grow out of it. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.960 I'm trying to think through this on the fly because 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.280 I hadn't heard about this. So the conversion therapy thing 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.920 I mostly thought among gay for gay kids, I mostly 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.719 thought was pretty horrifying sounding. You got, you know, you know, 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.720 fourteen year old boy who's nose, he's gay, and then 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.640 you try to convince them they're not. I mean, like, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.280 that's pretty rough. But we didn't have a rash of 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.760 I don't know if it ever happened. We didn't have 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.480 a rash of people thinking they were gay as a 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.520 solution to their emotional mental issues and then it turns 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.880 out they're not, Whereas we do have a rash of 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.360 this trans thing being bad. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.520 Yeah, it's a psychological contagion, a community contagent among adolescent 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.360 girls in particular. So keeping in mind that if the 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:26.040 counseling for these confused adolescents were afraid of puberty, or 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:31.400 were swept down the road by activists or whatever, any 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.360 effort to help them psychologically and say, hey, you're a 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.200 young woman and it's great. There's nothing better than you 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.120 being you. You're forbidden from doing that, even though if 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.600 it didn't work and you went through all of the 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.959 therapy and they said no, no, I'm the wrong sex. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.600 I got to change my body. You could still do 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.280 that in these states, but they forbid the counseling. There 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.360 should be love acceptance, and I'm sorry that was the 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:03.680 wrong part. So it's just it's absolutely obscene what's going 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.880 on in the Blue States. It's astonishing to me. If 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.520 you dropped me in twenty twenty four with the time 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.440 machine from like ten years ago, I wouldn't believe you. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.760 I'm thankful I'm not in a situation some of these 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:19.440 families are in. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.960 Oh I know it. I know it, and I've read 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.080 the accounts and their heartbreaking because and this is part 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.360 of the whole deal. One of the reasons the activists 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.000 say it's important to keep it from the parents because 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.439 they might not be supportive and they might be hostile 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.040 or even hurt the child. They want to get your 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:42.359 kid that far down the road, because then they've got them. 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.000 The kid's loyalty is to the activist and not to 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.600 the parents. It's all part of the neo Marxist thing, 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:51.800 whether it's through the critical race theory or the sex stuff. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.480 They've got your kid now, it's absolutely insidious. It's a 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:07.800 troubling gender bending madness. Update five. I swear the people 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.200 who push these laws out of be in prison. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.400 So we have some breaking news on the whole drone thing. 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.840 The White House is going to brief the House Intelligence 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:23.040 Committee today on the drones. Maybe the end of the 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.960 thing will be today and those House members will come 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.600 out and say, look, I can't say, but there's nothing 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:29.439 to worry about, all right. 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.280 Maybe that the inescapable conclusion is there's something to brief. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:39.480 Good point, Captain obvious over here. But you get what 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.400 I'm saying, suh. Well, of course there's something to brief. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.560 They wouldn't call everybody together and say, all right, is 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.840 the skiff closed? Everybody's got their their phones put away? 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.240 All right? We don't know either. You have no idea 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.520 that it's a bunch of drones. Apparently that's what we've heard. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.959 They're all just planes. Watch them step up the podium 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.920 and say, this isn't our beat promotion, all right? 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.319 Right, they got a new sandwich you're coming out called 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.760 the drone. Elon Musk is a powerful, powerful guy, maybe 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.000 more powerful than you even realized. Among other things on 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.320 the way stay tune. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.640 Oh hey, shout out to our gay listeners. Thank you 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.320 so much for listening. I hope you have a great 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.040 holiday season. But we're straight men, Michael, this is the 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.120 worst Christmas song ever recorded. It may be the worst 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.000 song ever recorded. Now we got Bruce Springsteen. Santa Claus 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.400 is coming to town. Bruce is that I'm not just lefty? 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.280 It doesn't matter. It's a great song. How about Robert 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.840 Earlteine Merry Christmas from the Family, a modern classic. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.800 Or more of that, Harry Connic Michael Bible stuff. That 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.000 stuff is great. But Wham Last Christmas like Wham. I 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.960 don't know about liking Wham, but I like George Michael 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.600 my Son. His age group really into Guilty Feet, have 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.960 got no rhythm. That song very popular among the youth. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.800 How would it not be, but that last Christmas Waam 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.040 song is horrible. Geez, I would convert to a different 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.160 religion if I had to listen to that very often. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.520 You know I'm gonna do this first, So yesterday I'm 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.080 coming out of the grocery store last night, and I'm 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.040 in line behind this woman and she is a older woman, 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.000 like quite a bit older. She's like seventy or something 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:20.280 like that. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:21.640 And they said, you. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:22.920 Want to help out in your bag, and she said, no, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.680 I think I got it. I think I got it 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.960 under control. Don't worry about me. And that she's got 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.200 her bags, and she's walking outside, and then she passes 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.200 somebody I'm right behind her who's got a Santa hat 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.600 on which I like to wear this time here, and 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.240 she said, oh, I love your hat purple. That's cool. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.080 You don't usually say purple. And then she walks out 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.280 and she says hello to some other people, a person 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:41.240 with a big smile on her face. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.040 And I thought, I was. 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.680 Thinking about what you always say about how much of 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:50.040 your personality is just built into you in terms of 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.840 because we know all these different studies or recommendations on 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.680 how to have a better mood or be optimore optimistic 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.840 or whatever. I thought, She's not doing any of that stuff. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.520 She was just born that way. I mean, she was 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.200 so much more friendly in a five minute period, for 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.040 five minute a sixty second period of me being. 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.800 Behind her than I am in a month. Right. Well, 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.800 she either like just escaped death or just got released 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:19.080 from prison. Yeah, she had a couple leg nogs before 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.960 she went shopping, or she's just built that way. Good 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:22.840 for her, that's wonderful. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.440 Yeah, And I just thought I wish I was more 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.280 like that, but I'm not. Is there anything I can 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.320 do about that? I don't know. I really don't know. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.520 Yeah. Yeah, And then I. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.240 Got into the percentages of because sometimes, and we've all 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.400 done this, where you're like in a bad negative mood 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.239 and something snaps you out of it and you realize 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.320 that you were in a bad negative mood and you were, 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.480 you know, looking at things in the worst possible way 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:49.040 or whatever. So there is something to attitude or having 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.080 some control over it. So I was trying to think, 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.200 is it like ninety ten, sixty forty, where do you 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.880 think it is in terms of how much you can 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:57.560 control that. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.720 I've always said that you can play with like twenty 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.560 percent around the margins. I haven't thought seriously about it, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.080 but yeah, you come into the world with a particular mindset, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.080 and you can you can speed it up some or 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.280 slow it down some. But a guy like you is 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.320 never gonna be like her no again, unless you escape 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.200 death or just released from prison, and that won't last 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.640 more than like a week. No, no, no no. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.880 It's like after I get through with cancer and it 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.080 had like no effect on me. And I've talked to 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.360 other people who were like really hoping this was gonna 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.720 be one of those and never after that for the 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.720 rest of my life I had this attitude of Bob 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.520 that didn't happen. I've talked to other people felt the 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.640 same way. They car crash, cancer, whatever it was, and 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.360 didn't change them a bit. There's still the same sortless 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.640 surly negative person they were before. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:54.800 That is simultaneously really disturbing and really reassuring. I don't know. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:56.239 I don't know which. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.840 Right, I don't know what is He young had purple. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.640 You don't see that very often. That's great. I just thought, Okay, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:09.159 I wish I was like you, but I'm not. I 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.720 admire it and I hate it, right both both. If 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.439 I was very long, I wouldn't like it. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:16.399 Aren't strong and getty. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.720 Honestly, in the first time, I don't know what it was. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.239 It's like a complete opposite in the first one, and 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:27.359 the press has covered that fairly. Actually for change the 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.840 first one, they were very hostile and maybe it was 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:34.080 my fault, but I don't really think so. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.120 They were just very right. 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:39.360 From the beginning, and this one is much less hostile. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.200 It's really the opposite of hostile. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.720 Yeah, Trump yesterday in his press conference talking about how 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.200 this time around is so much different than last time 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.320 and everybody wants to be his friend and work with him, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:54.880 and he's acting differently. We'll play a lot more from 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.679 that press conference in hour four and then some punditry 0:17:58.720 --> 0:17:59.119 around it. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:17:59.719 That's interesting. 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.600 Butrk Caalprin wrote this, Trump's determination to go down in 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.119 history as one of the all time great presidents is 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.560 currently the strongest factor in American politics. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:14.200 I would agree, Yeah, and it's undeniable that his manner 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:18.800 has changed since perhaps well not perhaps since the assassination attempts, 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.160 particularly the one that nick his ear. He's just I mean, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.320 when was the last time you heard Trump say so 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.760 hostile the first time around? Maybe it was my fault. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.920 I don't think so. But that is very not Trump like. Yeah, 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.280 really interesting, So I'm looking forward to that. That's our four. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.720 If you don't get our four, grab it via podcast later. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.280 I'm strong in getting on demand. I promise this on. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.720 I'm going to pay it off. Then we're going to 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.119 get to some emails that you good folks have sent a 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.880 lot of. It's really good and thought provoking. But there 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.359 is a division. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:51.680 Among Kamala Harris's close friends and aids Team Harris. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:58.040 There's a conflict jack over whether she should run for 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:02.400 California governor in twenty twenty because they know she would win, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.320 but that would make it harder for her to run 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.280 for president again in twenty twenty eight. 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:12.560 That second part is ridiculous. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.359 So that's the big conundrum on Team Harris right now. 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:17.639 You've got to be kidding. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.639 I am not kidding. How are they not more self 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.240 aware about her appeal? 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:32.320 There are scraggly junkies screeching at fire hydrants right now. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.840 We have a better grasp of reality than Kamala Harris 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:36.680 and her advisor. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.399 She has a zero chance of getting the nomination in 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.640 her own party, let alone way presidency. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.639 She'll be hooted out of the very contest before a 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.000 vote is cast again again. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.480 Anyway, Hey, he's gonna be our governor. We're gonna have 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.160 Adam Schiff is one of our senators. And she's gonna 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.280 be the governor. That's almost certainly gonna happen. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.480 Got this very nice note from John and Salem, Oregon. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.640 He says some very very nice things about the show 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.879 and John. It's it's appreciated. It means a lot to us. 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:06.560 Thank you. I'm not going to read them for reasons 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:10.120 of Midwestern self effacement, but you're very, very kind. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.320 Joe never passes him along to me. He's worried I'll 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.760 get the big head. As my chemistry teacher used to 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.240 say in high school, word you get. 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:17.720 The big head. 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.480 You got them, you always have the big head. Though 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.159 I laughed every time my chemistry teacher said that, I 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.920 don't want to tell you that, or you might get 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:30.520 the big head. Okay, whatever that means. I wanted to 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.120 hit you with this story mentioned it earlier. Elon Musk's 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.240 X account, according to The Washington Post, is not only 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.360 the most followed account on all of Twitter, with two 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:47.000 hundred million followers, the Washington Post declares it the most productive, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:52.840 most dominant information mouth in all of media in the 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.720 United States of America. At this point, Elon Musk listen 0:20:55.720 --> 0:21:00.720 to Somebody's stats. Elon Musk's posts on X have received 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:05.360 a total of one hundred and thirty three billion views 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:09.600 since July. Again, according to The Washington Post, that's fifteen 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.719 times Trump's audience, which is pretty big already, more than 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:16.440 sixteen times the combined reach of all accounts belonging to 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.040 all members of Congress. Those are stunning numbers. In the 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.280 twenty six days around the election, So the one month 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.840 around the election, two weeks before, two weeks after, Musk 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.720 fired off about four thousand posts that received more than 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:36.239 thirty three billion views, And again that's significantly more than 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.679 even Trump has. His posts were seen by twice as 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.520 many users as a post from the President elect. One 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:45.880 more number I was going to hit you with before 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:49.520 I get into Elon's personality around that. The post data 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.879 reveal how rapidly Musk posts rocket across x after he 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:58.600 tweets something. After an hour, Elon's typical post racked up 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.919 more than two point four million million views in the 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.560 first hour. Where else could you get that kind of reach? 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.920 You just you couldn't go on a cable news show 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.800 or the evening news or anywhere and get two point 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:16.199 four million interactions in that amount of time, significantly more 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.600 than the total views received by a Kamala Harris tweet, 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.520 for instance, even if you left him up for weeks, 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.000 so in an hour, Elon can get Elon, by the way, 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.760 typically posts more than one hundred and thirty times per day. 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:30.399 Uh, do you think he has a team doing that? 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:31.880 Because I don't see Elon. 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.440 I don't I think him. Yeah, I think it's just him. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:34.920
