And I think that's that's 18 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: funny coming from him. But yes, I would suggest if 19 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: you had thought of going to New York to take 20 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: in a show or just enjoy, enjoy that amazing dynamic city. 21 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: You do it fairly quickly before the rot begins to 22 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: fully take hold. 23 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: What sort of are you expecting crime? There will be 24 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: much more crime. 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: There will be a you know, if you live there, 26 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: rents are going to go up, up, up, up up. 27 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: As if Mumdani the commune is successful in restricting rises 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: rent more broadly, there'll be a terrible, terrible shortage all 29 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: sorts of stuff. Islamism will rise in New York City, 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: parts of the city where you shouldn't go. It'll be 31 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: a little more like Brussels or Paris or parts of London. 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine the Columbia style protests with Mom Dominie as mayor. 33 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, encouraging the anti senitism and the pro Islamism. Yeah, 34 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: what an experiment they're running. Yeah, interesting to watch. I'll 35 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: watch from over here. I don't know how much. I 36 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: don't know how much the economic stuff he actually has 37 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: the ability to do. It's troubling just fraud. It's troubling 38 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: that directionally he wants it. 39 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: But I don't know much how much. 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: Mayor can't take over grocery stores and make them government run, 41 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 3: for instance. Right, But you're probably right about the crime thing. 42 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 3: He won't have the back of the police department and 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: they'll know it. 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: Ran saying he would keep the current commissioner, who's pretty 45 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: popular around, but who knows for how long and with 46 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: how much support? 47 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: Interesting? 48 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: Uh, it's uh, we'll play some of Danny's speech last 49 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: night tonight. I think of most of this stuff, most elections, 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: especially elections that aren't national around the country, they don't matter. 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: To you and Leslie live there. 52 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 3: They're way overblown. I just it drives me nuts, so overblown. 53 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: So it's well, it's like a Blue Jay's losing didn't 54 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: affect me in the very least, but I spent many 55 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: hours engaged in it. 56 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: It's all excited about it. Politics is our true national 57 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: If you find it entertaining, go ahead. I don't and 58 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: I can't talk about it. I don't find it entertaining 59 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: to talk about races three thousand miles away that don't 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: mean anything. 61 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: So a Democrat won in a blue state, big freaking deal. 62 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't care. I just and I don't 63 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: think it means anything. 64 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: The Mom Donny thing means something, and the Prop fifty 65 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: thing in California, I find that highly troubling, highly troubling. Yes, 66 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: that Islick, I laugh, Yeah. 67 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: Its funny. 68 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: I's just riding up the elevator with a woman, and 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: we've never ride up in the elevator with her a 70 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: lot because we get to work roughly. At the same time. 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: We've never talked politics, because I don't talk politics with anybody. 72 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: I was talking about the rain and everything like that, 73 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: and I said, but the weather has been great. You know, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: it's gonna be as crowded as Los Angeles around here 75 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: the weather keeps up. She said, not with Prop fifty passing, 76 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 3: a lot of people are gonna leave. And I thought, wow, okay, 77 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 3: now I have an idea of how you feel about 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: how high five since? But that's just a highly troubling 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: move because when Gavin Newsom originally proposed the idea of 80 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: further jerry man during California, I wish the media would 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: even have done a close to good job of describing 82 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: what was happening instead of acting like California is a 83 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: perfectly pristinely drawn state with all the Republicans getting exactly 84 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: the amount of representatives they deserve. 85 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: Wasn't even close. 86 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: It was already a jerrymandered state, but the media presented 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: it is, as you know, Gavin Newsom has to do 88 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: this to fight back against Texas, and that's even worse 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: than you're describing would go on. And originally when it 90 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: was proposed, voters, including Democrats, were like, no, no, that 91 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: would be terrible. We don't want the politicians picking the 92 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: lines and not nearly immoral and non American and having 93 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: the forty percent of the state which votes Republican not 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: represented hardly at all. 95 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: That would be terrible. But they were able to turn it. 96 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: Into a Trump thing and it passed overwhelmingly, and that's 97 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 3: where we are. And now more states are going to 98 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: become even more jerry mandered, so a state is either 99 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: all blue or all red in terms of representatives, even if, 100 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: like in California, forty percent of the people. 101 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: Vote Republican, right, I mean, that's horrifying. 102 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: That is not good, and the number will be far 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: higher if a you know, non trumpy Republican is running too, 104 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: a fairly moderate Republican. Yeah, it's yeah, I'm completely disgusted 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: by it. I'm also disgusted by the victory of that 106 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: Jay Jones, monstrous sicko in Virginia. I know you've just 107 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: disdained looking at races that aren't immediate to you, but 108 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: it's a sign of how sick we become politically speaking. 109 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: That's the guy with the text about murdering opponents public kidroom. Yeah, 110 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: and I hope your kids die in your arms. And 111 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: then when he was called on it, he doubled down. 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: You got to make people suffer physically to change their politics. 113 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 3: He is a monster, He is a sicko. He is 114 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: a twisted little man. Well, and he's now the top law. 115 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: Enforcement officer in Virginia merely because you know, the people 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: tend to vote to straight ticket ish and the Republican 117 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: candidate for governor was fairly weak in an off year. 118 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 119 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: But he got lifted over the top in spite of 120 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: just absolutely exposing himself as a sick human being. 121 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: Even as attorney general. It's not like he's running is 122 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: I think that is Again I talked regularly. I think 123 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: we got this race to the bottom going on that 124 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: I don't know how we stop we Now, there's like 125 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: no scandal that can practically doom you if you're the 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: right party in the right district, state, whatever. Just the scandals, 127 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: there's there's we have no bar that you need to 128 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: meet for like morality or behavior or anything like that. 129 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, Trump dislike of Trump swayed many of the 130 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: elections we're talking about, and the Democrats absolute lawlessness, amorality, 131 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: and and and clear dishonesty, especially in the media, got 132 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: Trump elected. 133 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: I mean, propping up. 134 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: The corpse of Joe Biden, you know, White House at 135 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: Bernie's style, pretending he could run, got Trump elected. 136 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Now Trump's getting all these people elected because we're so divided. 137 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: Part of my unwi over this is being old enough 138 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: to have gone through some back and forth of the 139 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: elections and realizing they last like a month or six 140 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: months or a year or two years or whatever, depending 141 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: on their race, and it means nothing for the next 142 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: time around. 143 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: You use the example yesterday, Barack Obama's the most popular 144 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: person elected in my lifetime. 145 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Two years later got wiped out. The Democrats got wiped 146 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: out two years later. Right, it wasn't. 147 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: The end of anything or the beginning of anything. It 148 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: was just to be swung that way for a while. 149 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: Now we're gonna swing this way for a while. And everybody, interestingly, 150 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: at least large trends in them that are gonna beat 151 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: but by our lives for the rest of our lives. 152 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: The reason he got booted out of I'm sorry that 153 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: the Democrats lost the midterm so miserably was people didn't 154 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: like Obamacare. 155 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: They saw that it was a pig in a poke. 156 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: It was sold dishonestly, and it's gotten far, far worse 157 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: since then. It is practically a disaster, a disease on 158 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: the American body politic, but it's too confusing. 159 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: People aren't really sure out of following Bamama. 160 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: Although I would suggest to you, my cynical friend, in 161 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 2: the business we're in, I mean, getting back to my 162 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: World Series analogy, what if the announcers has said, well, 163 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 2: the Blue Jay's one game seven, but we're just gonna 164 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: start another season in April.

So exit polling showed. 211 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,119 Speaker 3: More than a quarter of New Yorkers identified as socialist. 212 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: Forty percent of the young voters identified as socialists in 213 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: New York. My hope is they don't know what that means, 214 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: that's my hope. Yeah, or they have a fanciful idea 215 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: of what it means. 216 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 217 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 2: It's like an eleven year old girl's conception of love, 218 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: you know, romantic love. It's just based on fantasy and 219 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: little else. 220 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 3: Maybe you don't know this if you saw his speech 221 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: or didn't see a speech or whatever, but his opening 222 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: line was from Eugene Debs, who ran as the socialist 223 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 3: can it five times in a row? Way back in 224 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 3: the early part of the twentieth century. And yeah, so 225 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: he quotes a socialist first thing. If you were wondering, 226 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: you know, if he was going to moderate or anything 227 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: like that, or say I'm here for all New Yorkers 228 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: or blah blah blah. Oh no, and he was very 229 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 3: proud that he'd gotten elected as a Muslim, to emphasize that. Again, 230 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: Our only hope is that young people don't actually know 231 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: what they're talking about. They just think it means being 232 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 3: kind of a demo more of a democrat. 233 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: They have gotten what they asked for, and now we'll 234 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: be punished for it.

He doesn't take office 343 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 3: till January. By the way, here we go. 344 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 4: After all the conventional wisdom would tell you that I 345 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 4: am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite 346 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 4: my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim, a 347 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: democratic socialists, and most damning of all, I refuse to 348 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 4: apologize for any of this. 349 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: Who was asking you to apologize for being Muslim? That's 350 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: a made up controversy that he's done a pretty good 351 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 3: job of writing. 352 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: But can you menage a child of wells and privilege? 353 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: And he's got to be a victim of something. 354 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 3: If you specifically got up and said and I'm Christian, 355 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 3: and the crowd went wild, like all the mainstream media 356 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 3: would present that as scary, Yes, yeah, when Christianity wants 357 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 3: merely to get you right, with the Lord, and Islam 358 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 3: wants to take over the politics and economics of the 359 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 3: entire world at the point. 360 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: Of a spear. 361 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 3: Here's a little analysis for Mark Helpern and I thought 362 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: that was interesting. He said, anger used to make party 363 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 3: elders nervous. Now it's the entry ticket to all politics. 364 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 3: Voters numbed by years of chaos, fed up by the buffeting, 365 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 3: seemed to crave candidates who channel fury into authenticity. Zorn Mamdani, 366 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: the New York assemblyman who has become a rising voice 367 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: in the Democratic Left, tapped into that energy in his 368 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 3: own insurgent campaign. 369 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: He understood something basic. 370 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: People want someone who will rage against a system they 371 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: believe has failed him. Trump has owned that tone for 372 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 3: a long time now now leaders like AOC and Gavin 373 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 3: Newsom have learned to wield it, and they do so 374 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: with a fluency that unnerves their opponents. It is all 375 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 3: about and absolutely this is what Trump is good at. 376 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 3: It's just channeling that just you're angry at the system, 377 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 3: kind of vaguely angry at the system. And maybe it's uh, 378 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 3: your rent being too high, Maybe it's the fact that 379 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: the media is all one sided. 380 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: Whatever it is, maybe you can't get a woman or 381 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 2: a man or or a job, or you're not you 382 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: feel disconnected with people and you're lonely and a little 383 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: bit bitter. 384 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: Right, that's a good one too. It doesn't have to 385 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: be anything. 386 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be something that's got a mayor 387 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: or a governor answer to it. It's just they they're 388 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 3: angry at me too. I'm angry and they're angry. Bye, 389 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 3: I'm my behind if I'm voting for them. That might 390 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: be where we are now. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't 391 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 3: know how that works. 392 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: And because and I surprise myself with my own you know, 393 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: sociological jibe there or whatever that was, that we're in 394 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 2: an era where people look to government to solve all 395 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: of their problems. Yeah, and we'll say so openly. So 396 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: the new promise is friends in every pub and a 397 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: hobby on every couch, as opposed to the old slogan 398 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: chickens and pots, et cetera. 399 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons I hate to join in 400 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: the hole making this your life. I mean, it's like 401 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: your mission in life is to stop the schools from 402 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 3: teaching everybody to be to Marxists, which is a a 403 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 3: good goal. 404 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: My goal is to like make people stop paying attention 405 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: to politics so much. 406 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 3: It does not the only I can't imagine living my 407 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 3: life through an individual house race somewhere on the other 408 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: side of the country and watching the analysis all day 409 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 3: long and getting upset or happy either way about it. 410 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 2: That's not what life is. Here's here's the counter to that. 411 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: And in a weird way, I agree with you. The 412 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: distance between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party twenty 413 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: five years ago was pretty subtle, and thirty five years 414 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: ago was very subtle. Now there is an enormous gulf. 415 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: I'm talking about teaching Marxism in schools. The Democratic Party 416 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: is staunchly in favor of that, and so politics matters 417 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: in a way it didn't used to. I mean, going 418 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: back and forth from Jerry Ford to Jimmy Carter. I 419 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: mean it had significance, no doubt, but it's nothing like 420 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 2: I if Trump were to give way to a you know, 421 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 2: a Gavin Newsom or some or God forbid, an AOC 422 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: type character. So it's all part of a giant So 423 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: it's difficult. There's a real tension there. 424 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, there's it's all part of a giant 425 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 3: swirling problem that I don't know how we break out of. 426 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: Because he got that, which is true. But if people 427 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 3: make politics their lives and get all worked up about 428 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 3: it emotionally the way Mark Alprin's talking about and then 429 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: we go further to the the other side is ruining 430 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 3: America on both sides, and it just get angrier and 431 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: more involved. 432 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: And I don't see a way out that way. 433 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: No neither do I is King Solomon available page in 434 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: King Solomon, King Solomon to the studio. 435 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 3: This needs to be discussed more. And it is like 436 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 3: some of the podcasts I listen do they do discuss 437 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: this sort of thing with modern fundraising and the role 438 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 3: that social media plays in our news feeds? And is 439 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 3: there any breaking out of this? Channeling anger is our 440 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 3: politics and it's the only sport in town? 441 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: Oof? Right? Oof? Indeed? 442 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: I read an unnecessarily long Kevin Williams in Peace about 443 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 2: the old Tucker Carlson anti Semitism and his little cabal 444 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: of parents' basement dwelling Jew haters, and that's. 445 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: A good description.

Trump, for instance, 479 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: ran on a handful of things, a couple of which 480 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: he has delivered in spades, I mean, lived up to 481 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: his promises more than anybody thought he. 482 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: Would or could. 483 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: The more iggressions, for instance, Yeah, yeah, clearly, and a 484 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 2: couple of other things. On the other hand, one of 485 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 2: the main planks of his platform was I'll bring consumer 486 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 2: prices down, and that it was impossible, right, although I 487 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: would suggest that the whole tariff thing, and only part 488 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: of that, is misguided. 489 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: As always, some of it was necessary, but I'm. 490 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: Owing the big Supreme Court oral arguments are today on 491 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 2: that blockbuster case.

You know, three percent isn't a ton, 493 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: but it's tough. People are struggling. 494 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 3: Is there any policy prescription that isn't giving people stuff, 495 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: taking money from uh higher wage earners and spreading it 496 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 3: around more. That seems to be the only policy prescription 497 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: anybody ever comes up with. 498 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, a lot of. 499 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: Us have been begging the Trump administration to deregulate, double 500 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: down on that, make that doja's priority, deregulation, free up 501 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: American enterprise. 502 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: How that would help? So the whole no any enemies 503 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: to my left or no enemies to my right. 504 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 3: Thing that has caught on, which is a recipe for 505 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: disaster for our fright.

And that far from green shoots, 565 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: it's showing a good sturdy stem and more and more 566 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 3: people are coming out to support it. That sort of 567 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 3: program around the country is really getting air. 568 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 1: You just never hear it reported. 569 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: In the corrupt, dishonest, despicable mainstream media.

If the 601 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 2: opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of 602 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: exchanging error for truth. If wrong, they lose what is 603 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier 604 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: impression of truth produced by its collision with error. 605 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. 606 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 3: Got an example of a school I think it's in Oklahoma, 607 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: another major public university, where somebody at a table set 608 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 3: up in favor of something is anti gay marriage or 609 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: something thing. Anyway, somebody came along and flipped over the 610 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 3: table and knocked all over in the university. 611 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: Did nothing about it, of course, not nope. 612 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 2: Mail bag, drop us a notes mail bag at armstrong 613 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: e geddy dot com. 614 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Here's your meme of the day.
