And 18 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: that's you know how we met Andy and how he 19 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: came to meet you don't call him and that he 20 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: could get away with it. There's been guests before that 21 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: you've said, Well, it depends if somebody's just there's there's 22 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: two ways of doing it. There's one who somebody's thinking 23 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: that they're you know, we're comfortable enough to say. Then 24 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: there's that condescending Andy, you know, like you know the difference, 25 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, the difference when somebody's doing it to be 26 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: condescending and when somebody's doing it because they're just they 27 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: think they've gotten into the comfort zone. I don't get mad. 28 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: It's you know, I remember Senator Jim de Mint calling 29 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: you Andy and and getting fine with you. It's fine. Which, 30 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: by the way, whether people like his politics or not, 31 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: super nice guy from when he's come on, like, I 32 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: don't think anybody could have a problem with that guy 33 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: personal even Dailish, even John Stewart said he was like 34 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: the nicest person. Yeah, he really was. Um. So for 35 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: those who don't know, I should at least give an 36 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: introduction if who Andrew is? Andrew the host of the 37 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: willcal Majority on Serious Sex and Patriot. Uh, you're going 38 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: to be hosting You're on show Will cow on CRC 39 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: up back on TV, which we'll get into. I guess 40 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: the first big announcement for this audience that you could 41 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: get into is that the software dot Com paywall is down, 42 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: which is yeah, UM, you know, the guys made the 43 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: decision to take it down. So we were a subscription 44 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: website for I mean we were we were open first 45 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: like what six months, eight months or something, went to 46 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: a pay subscription model, yeah, fairly quickly early on, and 47 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: so like the last five years or whatever, we've been 48 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: a subscriber website. UM. And now that's the paywall is 49 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: taken down. Anybody can go read anything on the website. UM. 50 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: So it's wide open, and you know, hopefully that helps 51 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: get the word out more and more people will be 52 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: able to read UM. You still have to be subscribed 53 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: to uh, make comments on the website, UM access some 54 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: of the other functionality of the website. UM. The people 55 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: who are existing subscribers, they're gonna get you know, like 56 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: UM free upgrade. They're gonna become like the premium membership 57 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: we have and all that. They're gonna go into that automatically. 58 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: And I don't I hope on not speaking out of turn, 59 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: but I believe they're going to have access to softwarep 60 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: TV as well. That's that's going to be part of 61 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: the part of the deal that we're gonna grandfather all 62 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: the existing subscriber subscribers into Yeah. I think with the 63 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: success of Create Club, it's allowed us to have more 64 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: free content than we originally did because we know, for 65 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: a while it was like we were trying to figure 66 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: out how to make the podcast profitable and we to 67 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: pay wall for that and to pay wall for the website. 68 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: And now it's like Create Club has allowed us to 69 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: do that. So it's all this free content. And if 70 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: you really want to support the writers, I would say, 71 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: more than anything, subscribe to Create Club because that's the 72 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: business as a whole, and and pow, we're getting revenue. Yeah. 73 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's no what it's really figured out this 74 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: whole media thing, and it's changing so much that what's 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: the what's the model to use? And you know we're 76 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: doing we were just media, we were just news, but 77 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: now we're you doing also products and that's helping to 78 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: pay the bills. Well, you know, it's funny. When I 79 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: first went to Sirius in two thousand and six, Um, 80 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, I was just a weekend guy on w 81 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: ABC here in New York City and I was full 82 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: time upstate New York w g Y, and I had 83 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: people say no one's gonna pay for radio, No one's 84 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: no one's gonna pay for that. And it was funny 85 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: that the people that were sure nobody would pay for radio, 86 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: we're probably also sure that nobody would pay for television. Right. 87 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: And as the radio industry added more and more inventory 88 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: and the commercial breaks got the six seven minutes long 89 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, when you're when you're at when you're looking 90 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: at a minor league subscription fee annually, when you break 91 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: it out over twelve months to not have you know, 92 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: almost a half hour of your hours programming be commercials, 93 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: you know, and and and the the universe of bandwidth 94 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: that it opens, you know, you find that there are 95 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: people that after enough annoyance from from commercials, they don't 96 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: want to hear. It's amazing what they're willing to pay for. Yeah, 97 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, we we were very very fortunate. 98 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: I think that people paid to subscribe, paid to read because, 99 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: like you said, no, you know that it's a joke, 100 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: but people are on the ground floor of the military 101 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: independent journalism. I would say, you guys almost created it, right, Yeah, 102 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: in a in a sense, yeah, the idea that you know, 103 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: a journalist can also be a source I mean you're 104 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: bringing these kind of personal experiences to the table. Um. 105 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: I've always said that you and Brandon founded Nick show 106 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: like the perfect time. It was when he put out 107 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: The Red Circle. There wasn't this saturation of Navy seal books. 108 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: It was kind of rare. There was Chris Kyle, there 109 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: was Brandon, not much else for modern day snipers and 110 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: that type of thing, and then there was the Bin 111 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: Laden shooting and there was this explosion of interest in 112 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: the special operations community. I think we we had a 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: lot of articles, a lot of content that no one 114 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: else had, and you know, people are willing to pay 115 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: for that kind of thing. I think the problem only 116 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: issue we ran into and every run into is being 117 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: a special operations news website is that's a that's a niche. 118 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty small. It's smaller than even say 119 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: defense like we don't normally cover like the F thirty 120 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: five or like Navy ships, you know, so it's even 121 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: it's a niche within defense journalism. Um. So there could 122 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: be some scaling issues, of course, um, And I think 123 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: that was the only real difficulty we ran into. But 124 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: this will go into your TV show. One of the 125 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: things that I was going to mention, sorry, that's your phone, 126 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: completely unprofessional. Uh, all right ahead this but this goes 127 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: into your TV show. As I can't make eye contact 128 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: with Andrew. Here is that I feel like less and 129 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: less you're gonna get it for you. There you go 130 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: to truly lie and as we've said, this is pirate, 131 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: there you go for um no. So with your TV show, 132 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: I feel like less and less people are subscribed to 133 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: the major cable companies. I can't tell you the last 134 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: time that I've, like, for an extended period of time 135 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: watched whether it's CNN, MSNBC or Fox News, I get 136 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, I get pretty much all of my 137 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: news from alternative sources. And I think that there's, you know, 138 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: for what you're doing with CRTV, there's a conservative audience 139 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: that wants to hear what you're up to with Stephen 140 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Crowder is up to and what Michelle Malkin is reporting 141 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: on and not have to have it filtered through these 142 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: you know. One of the problems too, is like when 143 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: you're on Fox News or CNN, which you've been on, 144 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: you literally have two minutes there to get out whatever 145 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: you want. One intelligent comment, and you did a pretty 146 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: good job. But you know what's you know, I'll address this. 147 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: This is the part where I'm supposed to say, well, 148 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: this is because of the cord cutters. You know, when 149 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: the networks complain about chord cutting cord. I don't believe 150 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: that there's a phenomena of cord cutting. I believe there's 151 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: a phenomena of bad programming. And that I think when 152 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: you when when networks want to say a, people are 153 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: cutting the chords. There that's their excuse for some of 154 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: the stale programming. And that instead of saying to their 155 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: their network higher ups, or or their their parent company 156 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: or even their board of directors and investors that we 157 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: have to get creative, they said, well, it's just a 158 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: trend people, a chord cutting. Well, I think if you're 159 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: putting on good programming, especially in a country with three 160 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: people and this this internet environment where the gatekeepers and 161 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: their walls have kind of come down, that if you're 162 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: putting on good programming, good programming has an audience. It 163 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's a m FM, Serius accent podcasting, 164 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's satellite, cable or or new 165 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: media Roku or whatever it is. I think if you're 166 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: doing a good program that an audience has been looking for. 167 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're it's it's a match. Yeah. But one 168 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: thing is if you if if I have a Roku box, 169 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: right and I just want to watch Andrew Wilco on 170 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: see our TV, I can do that as opposed to 171 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: paying like one to two hundred dollars for this big 172 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: subscription when most people are watching what two or three 173 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: channels regularly. You know. So I think that I do 174 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: think the cord cutting plays into that, is that people 175 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: don't want to be subspoken. But again their cord cutting 176 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: because what's on the cord is not what they want. 177 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: There there is that, I mean, there is also there 178 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: is also you know, there are some people, many people 179 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: are creatures of habit that it's what's on TV. Right, 180 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: they turn on their television. And that's that's a generational 181 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: thing too. Though these young people they're not going to 182 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: the TV. That's well, you know, Brandon said that just recently. 183 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: He was saying that he took a long skiing trip 184 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: with his three kids, you know, who are various age groups, 185 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: and he's like, they didn't look at the TV once 186 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: they The one thing they said is like the WiFi 187 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: sucks here. Yeah, I mean I was staying in hotels 188 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: all the time when I was doing this TV show, 189 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: And I mean I think TV show an actual TV show. 190 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: And this is the funny thing about it. Yeah, I'm 191 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: on TV and I tell people, I'm like, I can't 192 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: even watch this thing because I don't have cable television. Um. 193 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: And but it's funny because I don't turn the television on. 194 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd rather just watch videos on YouTube or 195 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: something like that then watch television or watch Facebook live. 196 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: The the opportunities for people who have been who are 197 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: not the networks type. You know, this is the opportunity 198 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: that if you're not the network type for whatever that 199 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: whatever reason that is, they don't think you're pretty enough, 200 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: or they don't think you're pretty enough that you know 201 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: that that that that whatever their standards are for sort 202 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: of I guess television perfection if people are looking for 203 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: more than that. Now I'm not saying I'm not a 204 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: handsome guy, because I am. Um, but you know this 205 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: is this is like bands who didn't get played on 206 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: the radio or ignored by MTV. You know, it's kind 207 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: of funny. You look at a band like Metallica that 208 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: was ignored by radio, largely ignored by MTV. They finally 209 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: agreed to put out a video. Now the world came 210 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: to them. So you know, the industry is going to 211 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: have to at some points say, Okay, what did we overlook? 212 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Who did we miss here? Who's getting popular out there? 213 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: And then we're gonna have to do But believe it 214 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: or not, CRTV has actually kind of taking that model. 215 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: They've looked around at some of the biggest conservative faces 216 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: on YouTube like Stephen Crowder and said, how do we 217 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: bring that to us and make it a part of 218 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: what we're doing? The same thing for for Ali Stucky 219 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: and a few others. Isn't that like Frank Zappa said 220 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: something like that. Back in the day, He's like, you know, 221 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: when you had these fat cat business executives working at 222 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: record labels, they didn't know what was cool, so they 223 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: would take a chance on somebody. But he said, you know, 224 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: then what happened was all these hippies came in. They 225 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: took over the record labels, and they thought they knew 226 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: what was cool. They thought they knew what kids wanted, 227 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: and they wouldn't take any risks because it was very 228 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: narrow of what they thought. And then in the late 229 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: seventies you had the punk explosion, so you know, and 230 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: then the record company started signing up. You know, you 231 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: saw that with Nirvana. Nirvana got signed and all of 232 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: a sudden it was like five thousand grunge bands. Uh. 233 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: But yes, I think the networks and I'm not trash 234 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: talking any of the networks because I want to go 235 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: on them. It's see you twice, um that I think 236 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: when it when it comes to their next evolution of 237 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: of programming, they're gonna be forced to look at the 238 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: metrics of what no different than someone saying what's hot 239 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: in the clubs right now? Right what's hot in the clubs? 240 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: There are bands, there are DJs. There, there's something out 241 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: there that's not on the radio and it's not under 242 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: contract with the record company, and they have to go 243 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: out and get it. Well, when that time comes, they're 244 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna be networks like CRTV, like Software Radio, like whatever 245 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: it is that have been putting on popular programming, and 246 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna say we want that, we we want to 247 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: we we want to add it, we want to buy it, 248 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: we want to partner with it, we we we need it. 249 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: Because whatever we're doing is causing is still causing people 250 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to cut the chord and go this way. It seems 251 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: like these networks have these like corporate committees that just 252 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: fresh everything though. I mean, if you watch Netflix, it 253 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: seems like they give a lot of creative freedom to 254 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: people and that's why they have these very good television 255 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: shows on Netflix, and by comparisons, stuff on cable TV 256 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: just seems so pedestrian. Well, you know, it's funny is 257 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: that you get that's like death ray. I mean, I'm 258 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: just being frank about it. You know, well, you know 259 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: what's funny is that And still and still, this is 260 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: the one thing I hang my head on with with 261 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: serious x M is there's still taking risks putting on channels, 262 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: putting on people that probably had no chance at AM 263 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: and FM, you know, and and and that's the guy 264 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: that I they brought me in from from AM talk 265 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: and and put me on. But they've put on a 266 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: lot of people that you know, probably if it was 267 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: just you know, to competing news talk radio stations, are 268 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: two competing sports programming or you know your heritage classic 269 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: rock and new rock station, probably you know they're there, 270 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: We're putting on people that probably if the program doctor 271 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: didn't like you, like in the movie Airheads, Like I 272 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: read the trades, you know that they're putting on people 273 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: that probably in in a more controlled radio environment, might 274 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: not have got on the air. Well. Speaking on this subject, 275 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean, tell us about your TV show. How what's 276 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: it gonna be? How how are you going to draw 277 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: people in? I had another TV show at a and 278 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, it was going fine for a while and 279 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: something's happened. Um, not here to address those things, but 280 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: the show. The show went away very unceremoniously. And this company, 281 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: It's funny. I was contacted by the people who were 282 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: building the infrastructure for this company. I think it was 283 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: the day or two days after I lost that TV show. 284 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: I get a call and, uh, the guy on the 285 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: other line says, Hi, you don't know me, but I'm 286 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm starting up my own, my own network. And I 287 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: was like, okay, I've I've been through this before. And 288 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and we started talking, and UM, you know, I wasn't 289 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: sure what I that I wanted to leave Sirius x M. 290 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know what I wanted to do next. And 291 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: they started, they started laying their groundwork and Their first 292 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: big sign was was Mark Levine, which I think was 293 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: a really good UM choice given that you look at 294 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: how many people are locked up in the business, whether 295 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: on radio and have a TV side gig. He was 296 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, the one that was available with 297 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: a really big platform following to build on. And we 298 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: shot a pilot last year UM in a studio they 299 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: had they had up in Vermont, And if I remember correctly, 300 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: Brandon was on right and actually and and we actually 301 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: did we actually did a a segment that never actually ed. 302 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: We did this really cool thing about how the politicians 303 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: have gotten so comfortable just saying well, special operations, right, 304 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: It's like, well, you can't just shake the Special Operation 305 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: Stree in North Korea. It's a different animal. It's it's 306 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, and and Brandon and and in the general 307 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: we're in agreement that this was not bring back our girls. 308 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: This is not Syria, This was not an insurgency we 309 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: were dealing with. This wasn't a symmetrical warfare. This was 310 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: the threat of a nuclear you know, showdown in an 311 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: isolated country. And I remember when we shot the segment, 312 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,479 Speaker 1: like God, why we should be able to air this, 313 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: like this is this is good stuff. But what they 314 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: were doing was they were bringing in people and kind 315 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: of kind of throwing them against the wall, giving them 316 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: a time to do a a demo or or a pilot. 317 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: And out of that they picked mine and and you know, 318 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: like our studios are gonna be literally one block from you. 319 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: Guys were literally up the block here, Yeah, up the block, 320 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: and um, you know the studio spaces obviously down here 321 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: a much smaller we're gonna have. It's it's a startup, 322 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: it's a it's a new enterprise. Um. But I think 323 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: the content is going to be similar to the old 324 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: TV show. But what they want, and I think this 325 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: is kind of smart. They want something that feels like 326 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: that network show but doesn't take an hour to get to. 327 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: So whereas I was doing probably seven or eight minute monologue, 328 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: are probably gonna be doing two minutes, which I should add, 329 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: unlike network TV shows, you wrote the entire Yeah that 330 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: when I was working with you, you know, like you 331 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: were spending an insane amount of time writing these monologues, 332 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: doing the radio show, going to do the TV show 333 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: because you refused to do with these other networks. Do 334 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: where you read something that your producers read well, and 335 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: to to to credit people who are good at reading prompter. 336 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: I have friends in the business, and I have a 337 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: friend who's a local newscaster, and he's like, some people 338 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: could own the prompter and some people can't. And when 339 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: I started doing the TV show, I had literally never 340 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: read a teleprompter before, and I thought, Okay, when you're 341 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: reading lines, it sounds like you're reading lines. Yeah. Well, 342 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: but but some people are good at making it, really 343 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: owning it. And I didn't think I had that talent. 344 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: But I knew if I wrote it, if something went 345 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: wrong or I had to look away for a second, 346 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: I wanted. I knew if I wrote it, nothing can 347 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: go wrong because I wrote it. And you know, when 348 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: we first started that show, we had a very young staff, 349 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: very passionate staff, great bunch of young people. But I 350 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: remember there would be times when there would be an 351 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: intro and somebody would just say sergeant. I would say, well, 352 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: master sergeant, sergeant for first class sergeant what or referring 353 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: to marines as soldiers. And it was no fault. It 354 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: was ay. We were a very small staff, were always rushed. 355 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: One of the things I had to I had to 356 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: kind of take back from that was knowing you guys, 357 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: and and and respect that I have for the military, 358 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: was if we were gonna intro a military guests, we 359 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: had to get it right. You know. We always had 360 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: to make sure we got it right. If it was 361 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: we couldn't just say, well was it fifth Special Forces 362 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: Group or seven Special Forces Group? There's a difference, you know, 363 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And the writing became very natural 364 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: to me because I, again it was my relationship with 365 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: with doing the show, but I didn't have the experience 366 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: of so many other people that are just organically good 367 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: at reading prompt So I thought, know, if you want 368 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: something done right, you better do it yourself. And that's 369 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: not to insult any of the people that you both 370 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: know that worked on my show. It was that we 371 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: were all inexperience and I felt that too. To succeed, 372 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't read other people's words. So what's the show 373 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: going to be about? What's the format going to look like? 374 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: It's it's it's gonna look like a news program. It's 375 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: very nice studio. I think we're gonna have shortened monologues 376 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: and get right to the point with guests. They've hired 377 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: a great stable of really mostly young conservatives um and Crowder, 378 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: Stephen Crowder. You have also Gavin McGinness is a little 379 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: to than me, say young, one of the co founders 380 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: of Vice News. They have a really eclectic group of people, 381 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: from social conservatives like Steve D's to libertarians like Matt Kibbey. 382 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: So it's it's not gonna be stodgy conservative, it's not 383 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: going to be full on libertarian, but you're gonna get that. 384 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna get everything from the social conservative of side 385 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: to the libertarian side. And I think I think libertarians 386 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: mostly get kind of left out a lot from from 387 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, the sort of right left paradigm. Libertarians offer 388 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: something that's that's kind of neither right nor left. It's 389 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: more um, you know, airing on the side of limited government. 390 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be a big thrust. Is 391 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: kind of filling in where some of the networks have 392 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: kind of ignored certain personalities and and and streams of consciousness, 393 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: especially libertarian. That's what we're gonna be looking for. It's 394 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: interesting to see how libertarians have gotten a bad name 395 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: too over I noticed this trend just really over the 396 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: last couple of years really, and I think libertarians have 397 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: to own a little bit of it because um some 398 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: went down that whole anarcho capitalism road, Uh so okay, 399 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: or or that that they were very bad diplomats for 400 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: their belief system because it was almost it was almost 401 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: as smug as liberalism could be. Sometimes that if if 402 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: you don't know everything that I already believe, I don't 403 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: have time to walk you through it. And if you're 404 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: not with Ron Paul get Away, many of us, many 405 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: of the audience that just say said that about the 406 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: guy we had on he was running for president Austin 407 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: very like, I'll be honest, came off as very arrogant 408 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: with us at times when when he said to me, 409 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: I remember that. The part that that that rings out 410 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: to me and I've heard I've seen people tweet me 411 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: about it was when he said basically, we don't need 412 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: a border patrol, and I was like, well, then how 413 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: would you protect you know, the border that that's why 414 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: we have it back to that and everything should freely 415 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: flow with their Second Amendment right could protect the border, 416 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: Like that's really what you want? You want? And yeah, 417 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: so as I wear my border patrol. Had he's been 418 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: on your show too, but I think he had that 419 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: libertarian like arrogance. And I'm a libertarian, you know, like 420 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: lawless countries are not a fun place. Well, and and 421 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: what the problem A lot of problems with libertarians is 422 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: on a there's no kind of half measure, like why 423 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: isn't the fire department privatized? You know, it's okay? And 424 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: I get I get the argument. I've read my lout Rock, well, 425 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: my Mariy Lot, Mariy Rothbar just for good measure. But 426 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: you think most voters think the biggest problem with their 427 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: government department, you know, like you guys, you gotta you 428 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: gotta pick some more obvious targets. And the problem with 429 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: with libertarians sometimes and it's not all libertarians, um, is 430 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: they are almost as absolutist on the whole, you know, 431 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: taking a whole ideology. And can you see that a 432 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: lot with with progressives that if you aren't a pro 433 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: trans vegan, uh, then you're a nazi, right, you're right 434 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: if you're not, if you're not all checking all these 435 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: boxes all at once. And I think I think libertarians 436 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: have great ideas, but they also have to be willing 437 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: to share them with people who don't really understand them. 438 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 1: And I think you once you to explain why you 439 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: believe what you believe. If you're a libertarian, yeah, the 440 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: government should be out of marriage. Okay, good, Yeah, and 441 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: understand that we have a democracy and it's going to 442 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: be a blending of ideas between different boy, it's never 443 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a pure ideological government. I don't know we 444 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: want an ideological government. I just want a government things 445 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: like me. Well, that's that's everybody, isn't it going into 446 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: you know what? When you were saying what the TV 447 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: show is going to be about? I think that's the 448 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: cool thing that you always break down these political philosophies, 449 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: like the origin of them, the writers who started them. 450 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: Like I know you're big on Boss Stiat and all 451 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: this stuff, and Jack and I have said on the 452 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: podcast really often like you turn on network news and 453 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: it's all their commentary on what Trump tweeted, and you're like, 454 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: I could go to Twitter and I could read Donald 455 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Trump's twitter. I don't need you to give you know, 456 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: a twenty minute break. Then that's why pros and cons 457 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: what you were talking about about, why people aren't tuning 458 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: into television because why do I need to see somebody 459 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: on television. Tell me what Trump tweeted. We we can 460 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: go there and read how dumb he looks ourselves. I mean, 461 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: we can see it. I actually like a lot of 462 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: his tweet. But that's a separate argument for a separate day. 463 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: One of the things I get to do also is 464 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: and you guys are down the block, is I like 465 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: that in depth variance military journalism? You know this? I 466 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: mean I want to. I want to hear those stories. 467 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to just be like are 468 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: we launching a missile or or were not? I want 469 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: the nuances. I think. I think the audience is going 470 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: to come to this program and it's go, oh, these 471 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: guys have been there, done that, and their opinions are 472 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: based on their experiences. And it's not just this surface 473 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: level d o J bureaucrat, foreign policy bureaucrat, academic bureaucrat, 474 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: uh sort of opinion. It's like, hey, I put boots 475 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: on the ground here, this is a bad idea, or yeah, 476 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: we could accomplish this, but you know it's gonna have 477 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: to have political will. It's not just the the UM 478 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: network contributor who you know is saying what the network 479 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: chieftains want them to say, which I again, I'm never 480 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: privy to the stuff. I would rather sit down with 481 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: you or Brandon or whoever. And all right, guys, you know, 482 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: even if it's not your area expertise, I mean, like 483 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe launching nuclear missiles is not you have 484 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: experience with, but I still respect your opinion on it 485 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: because you know, special operations pretty much as always at 486 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: the four of all these things, and I want those 487 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: special operation guests to give me their experience based opinion. 488 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: So would you have some ideas as far as uh 489 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: kind of topics to cover? I mean, you mentioned La Nicola, Tesla, 490 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: was was there a death ray? Yes, a lot of 491 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: the stuff that we're gonna be doing. Um. You know, 492 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: obviously people have their opinions on Trump, but when you 493 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: get past the tweets and the Democrats being apoplectic, you 494 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: take an example like DOCTA. Whether you agree or disagree 495 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: with DACA, the fact that he said this is an 496 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: executive order that never should have been written. The job 497 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: of Congress. You know, if you cut through, If you 498 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: cut through, I guess what excites some people and get 499 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: to was it constitutional for him to push it back 500 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: to the Congress? Absolutely, and we're I think we're gonna 501 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: be doing more of that than spending time on what 502 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: the president tweeted, Um, who's angry at him for tweeting it? Um? 503 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: You know, the social media part of it. Yeah, I mean, 504 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: I guess if we're forced to cover. But I think 505 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna go more into policy and the constitution. And 506 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: it seems like there's a lot of folks out there 507 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: who needs some help with like basic civics, like how 508 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: your government works, and see people getting so angry about stuff, 509 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,239 Speaker 1: and like you realize, you know, the president doesn't have 510 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: that big of a role to play with the economy especially. 511 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not well, you know, we always say this, 512 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: and I know that conservatives get accused of being, um, 513 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: I guess, conspiratorial with public education. But when you look 514 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: at public education, what's the incentive of government run education 515 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: to teach you about the limits of government? Because you 516 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: might go, well, then why am I in a government classroom? 517 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: It doesn't say anything about that in the Constitution. I 518 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: think we have, for political purposes, dumbed down our teaching 519 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: of civics and made it more about what is the 520 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: greater good? Who's trying to achieve a better, a better 521 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow for this, rather than saying is the government good 522 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: at this? And should they continue doing this? Where is 523 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: the government belong? Where doesn't it belong? Where the states belong, 524 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: where the cities belong, Where to you know, where the 525 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: charities belong. I think we've we've been taught to believe 526 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: that our president is supposed to be are our moral 527 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: lord and savior. And you know, our president is not 528 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: supposed to be our moral lord and savior. We're not 529 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: a king, is not a king, and we shouldn't treat 530 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: him like a king. And you know the scary thing 531 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: is is that when you when you look at the way, 532 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: and I'll make this my conservative complaint that the Democrats 533 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: kind of thought that Barack Obama should be unleashed to 534 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: do all these good things, and then as soon as 535 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump became president, Well, we have a constitution and 536 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: president no, no no, no, no no, either we are consistent in 537 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: the limits of the executive branch and the judicial branch 538 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 1: and the legislative branch. Or we are opening ourselves up 539 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: to a sort of un anarchy that well, the Supreme 540 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: Court said so, well, are they empowered to say so? Well, 541 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: they're Supreme Well, that's not what it says an article. 542 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: I know you've seen the meme, uh you know when 543 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: liberals and they've told me this too. I'm sure you've 544 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: heard it where they say, look, we don't need the 545 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: Second Amendment anymore, like we're never gonna have this authoritarian, 546 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: dictatorial government. You know, there's no need for the second 547 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: elected trumpet they right now under under Barack Obama states 548 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: right to equal racism. And as soon as Donald Trump 549 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: got elected, it's California threatened to secede. So it's like 550 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's it is that kind of 551 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: crazy today. I like it tomorrow. I don't kind of 552 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: thing and separate from from from libertarians. I think constitutional conservatives, 553 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, whereas I have my personal opinions on social issues. 554 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: But I go, yeah, it's not in the constitution, so 555 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: really it's not for government. And I think one thing 556 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: that we're going to try to do and I I 557 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: will lay this blame on on liberals. Liberals don't separate 558 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: their opinions from government if they believe it it's government right. 559 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Whereas everyone has emotions place I, as a constitutional conservative, say, 560 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: do I believe in traditional marriage? Yes? Do I believe 561 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: it's the cornerstone for society. Yes. Do I think it's 562 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: the base best way to raise a child? Yes? Do 563 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: I think the government should be involved? No? And I 564 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: think that's a hard full stop for a lot of 565 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: people to make that when they capture the whims of 566 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: the wheels of power, like what can I what of 567 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: my personal agenda can I can? I can I place 568 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: upon the society? And as a constitutional conservative, I like 569 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: that full stop that you can have your opinions, you 570 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: can live your way. You could say your freedom to 571 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: be you include my freedom to be free from you 572 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: don't want to bake you a cake or bake me 573 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: an f and cake or whichever cake you want baked. Um. 574 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: But I think the full stop has to come is 575 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: does the government need to be here? And you know, 576 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: if you're being honest with yourself, sometimes you know the 577 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: government does belong. There's there's an interesting conversation there too 578 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: about the whole nature of freedom and when you give 579 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: people freedom, they're also going to do stupid things. But 580 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: that but see that, But I am, well, I am 581 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: one of these people, Like right right now we're debating 582 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: pot laws and the Tenth Amendment, doesn't say one word 583 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: about the marriage. I wanna government regulating what we put 584 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,239 Speaker 1: in our bodies. People say, well, if we didn't have 585 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: an FDA, well, you know, maybe we should inspect coming 586 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: in from foreign countries, find that's cross border you know, dealings. 587 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: But as far as whether or not the federal government 588 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: should tell people they should should or should not smoke marijuana, 589 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: as someone who doesn't smoke marijuana isn't gonna smoke marijuana 590 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: is in a state where it's gonna be legal real soon, 591 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: not gonna change my my use of it. You want 592 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: to drink raw milk, knock yourself out, knock yourself out, 593 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: that's that's up to you. You want to raise your 594 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: kids to believe this debt of the other thing, go 595 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: right ahead. Yeah, all of these things, uh, you know, 596 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: with the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, 597 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: they have negative consequences also. But I think it's like socially, 598 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: it's a question of if we accept this, we we 599 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,959 Speaker 1: accept the trade off. Essentially. Now you give people freedom, 600 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: some people are gonna do dumb things with it. They're 601 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: gonna hurt each other, but they're gonna do that. But 602 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: we we've also I think we've proven without a shadow 603 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: of a doubt that the law doesn't always protect us, 604 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: or we wouldn't be talking about tide pod challenges right now, 605 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: you know. And and I joked on Twitter, I said, 606 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: here's a tide pod challenge from millennials. Do your own laundry. 607 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: But but if somebody's gonna put a tide pot in 608 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: their mouth, But how does the government stop that from happening? Yeah, 609 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: you can't stop people from being dumb. You are right, 610 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: even if the mornings right there, Yeah, shouldn't eat that 611 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: and it's going right, you know. I mean, even even 612 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: even with a mechanized law that is supposed to prevent 613 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: us from doing harm to ourselves, people will find a 614 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 1: way to do harm to themselves. And you know there 615 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: are old sayings about dangerous freedoms. Well, yeah, freedom is freedom. 616 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: Freedom is Dane dress. It's unpredictable, it it's it's it's 617 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: hard to account for. And I think that scares people 618 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: in in certain functions of government that well, what if 619 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: we can't control people. Well, we're not talking about opening 620 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: ourselves up to the waste land of the road Warrior, 621 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: but you know, I think when the government meddles too much, 622 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: you know when the government treats people like children and 623 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: wonders why they can't make good decisions. Yeah, just just 624 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: to reset here since we are doing the live stream, 625 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: we're here with Andrew will Cow hosted the willcal Majority, 626 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: guy I worked with for probably like seven years about 627 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: something like that until I never yelled at him once.

I can't 692 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: believe in this day and age of PayPal, people are 693 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: handwriting one check for a donation and then handwriting another 694 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: check for the shipping and handling for the shirt. And 695 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: when when, even when we were done, money was still 696 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: pouring in from people who didn't no matter what they don't, 697 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: they just wanted. It wasn't even about the shirt, which 698 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: was a pretty cool shirt, but they wanted to donate 699 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: to these charities. Because what we were doing was one 700 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: direct giving. We didn't set up an H five or 701 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: one C three. We didn't hire an administrator, we didn't 702 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: hire an accountant. Basically, what we asked on the order forms, 703 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 1: you picked one of six charities or donate to all six. 704 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: You write the check directly to them, We mail you 705 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: the shirt, and we give the check to the charity. 706 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: So when Stop Soldiers Suicide sold up, I handed them 707 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: a stack of checks and I remember saying, I don't 708 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: know if it was from from the from Red Circle 709 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: of Stops Solder Suicide. They're looking all these checks and go, hey, 710 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: that's a good problem to have, right Well, I was like, 711 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: what about me? Because I was the only one who 712 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: even knew anyone from Red Circle Foundation other than Drew 713 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: d Wire. I have nothing to do with the foundation, 714 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: and you get you gave me the envelope of like 715 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: all this cash and checks. I think I went on 716 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: the train with like how much would it have been? 717 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: It's like five thou dollars December five? What do I 718 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: do with this? Separate five fund was a late addition 719 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: because we got to meet J. W. Cortez, who plays 720 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: Detective Alvarez on the Fox show Gotham. So they were 721 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: very late additions. We didn't raise as much money for them, um, 722 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: but each of the other five charities got a little 723 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: over five thousand each, and I think it was like 724 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 1: about a thousand for Semper five. I'm sorry I didn't 725 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: make it this year. We'll get you next. I was 726 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: doing the TV stuff and Emmett is always great, we 727 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: should say, if anybody's ever in the area and once separate, 728 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: like you know, in a vast amount of liberalism, we 729 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: were talking about. The Socialist Workers Party is like down 730 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: the block. You know that it's four doors down from you. 731 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: They have a red star on a banner out there 732 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: that's the second floor is the Socialist Workers Party Holy ship. 733 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, my my point, yeah, maybe you should do 734 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: some investigative investigative work there. But yeah, my point being 735 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: like in this city, Emmett is a very proud supporter 736 00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: of veterans, a proud openly conservative guy has you know, 737 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: everything from your stickers to at with shrug posters on 738 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: the Tonto signed books to brand the branded web sandwich 739 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: I think. And yeah, so he's just a great guy. 740 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 1: I would recommend people. But we're already planning VET Ride 741 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: eighteen because and we figured it out, like you know, 742 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: the reason why we're gonna do it this year's because 743 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: it fell out on a Saturday, and next year it 744 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: falls out on a Sunday, and it's probably gonna be 745 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: a few calendar years before we have a weekend to 746 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: do it again. So we've already got our parade permits 747 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: foreen for this year. We've already got the go ahead 748 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: from Serious Action, we already got the go ahead from Emmett. 749 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: We already got the charities ready to line up again. 750 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: And I mean this year was it was difficult because 751 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: there was such a crush of people that I was 752 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: so distracted on the year. It was hard to get 753 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: our guests. People want one. I'm right in the middle 754 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: of the broadcast. One guy walked ocau, Hey, how do 755 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: I get a T shirt? I'm like over there, over there, 756 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, So I think we're gonna set up the 757 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: T shirt and merch table. We had one of the 758 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: where the ride up began at Tremont and Harley in 759 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 1: New Jersey, and then we had another one at Emmett's, 760 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: and they decided to put it like kind of next 761 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: to the broadcast with them like, I think we're gonna 762 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: have to separate things and be able to get our 763 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: guests in and out much quicker. But NYPD, I mean they, 764 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we had Jersey State troopers taken the writers 765 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: from New Jersey to the Lincoln Tunnel and n y 766 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: p D picked them up. And when you stand there 767 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: on a street and a hundred Harley's in a column 768 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: are coming. First of all, it's loud, and it was 769 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: just it was an incredible, incredible day that we to 770 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: raise that kind of money. So yeah, throughout the year 771 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: I worked with Rick, I I donate money. I don't 772 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: brag about it, um, but yeah, to be able to 773 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: send him about six grand or whatever it was, you know, 774 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: for operations, chillout, that's life changing money. If you don't 775 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: know what to do for homeless veterans, right, yeah, they 776 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: they get they work with a network of homeless shelters 777 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: and if they get a call or they get they 778 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: get a veteran who was arrested for a petty you know, 779 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: kind of like if there's a homeless veteran who basically 780 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: gets himself arrested to get a little shell there, the 781 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: police will call them or the homeless shelter will call them, 782 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: and they will come with a backpack of supplies immediately, 783 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: which they keep backpacks with socks, shoes, underwear, change all 784 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: kinds of you know, toiletries, and then they get them 785 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: into a halfway house and then they try to get 786 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: him a job. I'm gonna I'm gonna take some questions 787 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: from the audience at that point, because I know that 788 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: there's a ton of them coming in. People want to 789 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: ask Andrew stuff. I always try to get them in 790 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: and they're always like, you know, be interactive here because 791 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: that's why we do Facebook Live. But UM, I'll look 792 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: through them. I'm the only one here with the computer 793 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: near me. But I did want to ask you about 794 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: um just because I haven't been there with your show 795 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: every day. I actually do tune in when I can. 796 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: What's like the biggest story that the media is avoiding, 797 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: DOCA avoiding, Because what I was gonna say is that, 798 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: for example, when I worked on your show, I remember 799 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: you were talking about the Uranium one deal with Hillary 800 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: Quentin long before the media was, and you were talking 801 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: about it every single day. So I'm just wondering, like, 802 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: what are they not covering that you think they need to. Well, 803 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 1: it's funny that the bigger excuse now is that John 804 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: Solomon at the Hill has been doing amazing reporting on 805 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: some of these these this Uranium one, the money that 806 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: was flowing people who have been indicted, um, most notably 807 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: one of these trucking company executives who was working with 808 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: the Clintons. It's amazing to me how they want to 809 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 1: prosecute everything Donald Trump says, any accusation from the past. 810 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 1: And yet when you're like, yeah, okay, grabbin by the 811 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: P word, that probably wasn't the smartest thing for him 812 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: to say, but it was kind of said in you know, 813 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: just and not meant for public commentary. But you know, 814 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: if you had a Secretary of State and former president 815 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: who were working a deal to you know, sell not 816 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: for transfer for nuclear weapons. One of the biggest conspiracies 817 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: about this that we were trying to give the Russian's 818 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. They have nuclear weapons, they have all the 819 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons you know they could possibly but to give 820 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: them partial control of an energy market or a strategic 821 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: asset market was something that absolutely made no sense. And 822 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, it was the New York Times that when 823 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: conservatives got you know, backlash in the media for this 824 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: is like I was like, I'm reading this in the 825 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: New York Times. That story the story kind of came 826 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: and went, and you can't go, whoa hold on a second. 827 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: You do a whole piece about the Clintons taking a 828 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars leading up to this uranium deal, 829 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: and we're supposed to go yeah, moving on to something else. 830 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump tweeted, Andrew, can you break down the story 831 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. I know it's very complex, but I 832 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:35,720 Speaker 1: actually have not followed its. Starting in two thousand five, 833 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton started working with a man named Frank Gistro 834 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: who was a Canadian kind of mining magnet. And he 835 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: was traveling with Gistra as he was expanding operations of 836 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: places like Uzbekistan, and I guess it was nice to 837 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: have the former president of the United States with Bill 838 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: Clinton played a big role in Kazakhstan and other countries. 839 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: On Kazakhstan, he helped open up that after he was 840 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 1: touring with Frank Gistra and some of these these mining 841 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: investors and they were securing, you know, big mining contracts, 842 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: and over the years, um, you know, there was this 843 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: this building relationship. And then when Hillary Clinton became Secretary 844 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: of State, a mass load of donations started coming into 845 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: the to the Clinton Foundation. And when they say nine 846 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: agencies had to sign off on this, yeah, but what 847 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: those other nine agencies didn't know that only the d 848 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: o J in the State Department apparently knew, was that 849 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: the FBI was investigating some of these these mining operations 850 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: and the money that was flowing in, and then Peter 851 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: Schwitzer put out the book Clinton Cash, and then the 852 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: New York Times put out their piece in so, you know, 853 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot to do right here without me 854 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: kind of having notes in research in front of me. 855 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: But the the it was reminiscent of the Johnny Chung 856 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: Chinese missile Laurel Space and Communications deal, where you had 857 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: money coming in from high ranking Chinese officials. You had 858 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: money coming in from Bernard Schwartz and Laurel Space and Communications, 859 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Bill Clinton kind of 860 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: lifted sanctions on missile technology to China, and it was like, well, 861 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: did the money play a role in this? Now? You know, 862 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: you would have many in the media who would say, well, 863 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: we don't know if it played a role, want it um. 864 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: But when you're talking a hundred and fifty million dollars um, 865 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: you have to ask the question did it play a role? 866 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: It's so I mean, I think that's how the Clinton's 867 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: and the Clinton Foundation have always operated, that it's this 868 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: quid pro quo that they're very smart about how they 869 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: go about it, because it's hard to foundation, it's hard 870 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 1: to prove well, you know, you look at their actions 871 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: in haiti Um. We got to interview the former the 872 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: head of their parliament, not the not the prime minister, 873 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,280 Speaker 1: and he said that one of the things that Clinton's 874 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: wanted for for relief was to change the constitution about mining, 875 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: and Tony Rotten walked away with gold mining rights. So 876 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, and that's not not not anything I'm made 877 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe. It's all just a was just 878 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: a coincidence. And you know, look, I know that conservatives 879 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: get a bad rap for being kind of the vast 880 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: right wing conspiracy and we hate Hillary and all that stuff, 881 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: but there are some things that you know, as a 882 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: journalist or whoever, there are things that are worthy of 883 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: looking into. And what's what's bizarre is when I ping 884 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: off of a New York Times report, I take angles 885 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,280 Speaker 1: because you hate the Clinton's It's in the New York Times. 886 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm not making this stuff up. It's in the Hill, 887 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's in it's in Reuters of the 888 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: Associated Press. You always yeah, and I look, I have 889 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: I have rubbed people the wrong way with that. I 890 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: love my my brother in a bright bar, I love 891 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: my friends. A conservative review which I will be on 892 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: their TV platform. But I try to stay with the 893 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Associated Press and Reuters and AFP and even use the 894 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: New York Times in Washington Post because people can't, well, 895 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 1: you're just getting that from the right wing blog? Is here? 896 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,439 Speaker 1: Is that the Washington Post? Because I mean the last 897 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: time I checked that wasn't you know that wasn't the 898 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: home of right wing thought. By the way, it would 899 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 1: be a funny thing that I just have to mention here. 900 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: And I know you have no idea what he's up 901 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: to now, like most of us, But before Steve Bannon 902 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 1: was Steve Bannon, I just knew him as a guy 903 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: filled in for you A. Yeah, it was you know, 904 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: I've I've had people like, oh you and Bannon. I'm 905 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: like I had. I was around Bannon a couple of times. 906 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: There's the funny photograph that Mike will show you. He 907 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: was at Sea Pack and he was broadcasting and I 908 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: just kind of walked behind him when the cameras are 909 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 1: there and started doing a yoga pose while he was 910 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: in the middle of some kind of thing. He didn't 911 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: even like seem to know I was there. And after 912 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: Sea Pack I saw him. He used to sit at 913 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: this coffee house in the first floor of our building, 914 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: but there was very few interactions between myself and him. 915 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 1: He was never in the office when I was there. 916 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: I never went to any of the bright Bar Embassy parties. Um, 917 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 1: I kind of shy away from, you know, when we're 918 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: at the RNC or Sea Pack, the kind of after 919 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: parties that go on and sometimes go on too too 920 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 1: late into the night. I just kind of make my 921 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: way back to my hotel room. I have a few drinks, 922 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, Mike, you guys, whoever. But I'm not I'm 923 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: not a scene a party scene person, so you know, 924 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: I don't I didn't really spend that much time with it. 925 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting because I don't think 926 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: any of us would have predicted that Stephen caban And 927 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: would be like one of the most famous men in America. Notorious. Yeah, 928 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 1: I you know, I I gotta be honest. I didn't 929 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 1: see it coming either. Yeah. Um, So I'm looking at 930 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 1: the questions here. This is actually a good question that's 931 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 1: connected to what I just asked. But did Dale as 932 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: Linger watching on Facebook? We've what's the biggest national security 933 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: threat that the mainstream media isn't reporting? Both of you really, 934 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: But um, well, I I've said on I think it 935 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 1: was on your program or no, maybe it was. No, 936 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: it was on your program when you had a guest host. Um, 937 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: and I said China. And actually since that time, I 938 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: think the media has picked up on that story that 939 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: China is a revisionist power and a serious threat to 940 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 1: the United States. And I think that that's being covered 941 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: now a lot more than um than it was, you know, say, 942 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: two years ago. Well, I think one of the things 943 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: the media is ignoring, and we've had Gordon Shang on 944 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: about this. There was a story that was actually in 945 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: Chinese media that one of their test sites, I believe 946 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: the place when I want to try to pronounce this right, 947 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: I don't want assault that it was pungi Ree they 948 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:30,800 Speaker 1: had a test fail that caused an avalanche, and Chinese 949 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: scientists were warning the Chinese government like, hey, maybe their 950 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,879 Speaker 1: safety standards aren't up to par. And I didn't see 951 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: much in the in the media about this that you know, 952 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe it was time to kind of work with the 953 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 1: Chinese because if the North Koreans are ill equipped to 954 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: handle nuclear weapons, think about what a misfire would do. 955 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: E M P wise to China. So you know, given 956 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 1: that we have a trade relationship, their economy relies on 957 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: trade partners. Us be the trade partners, European trade partners. 958 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: Let's try to use trade and the fact that the 959 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: North Koreans might be not the best at handling this 960 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 1: kind of stuff kind of like you know, like this, um, 961 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: maybe we could encourage them to be better allies or 962 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: partners in dealing with North Korea because you know, potentially 963 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: if the North Koreans have a misdetonation, it would have 964 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: effects for negative consequences for China. How about this Hawaii 965 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: uh fake the fake news? Yeah, that was crazy, Gary. 966 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine getting one of those that there's I 967 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: c b ms incoming. Yeah, especially you know, you imagine 968 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: it here people people get a text that Starbucks run 969 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: in a pumpkin spice, you know, like it right, I 970 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 1: was saying, imagine that text was in Texas as opposed 971 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: to like Hawaii. I feel like people would be like 972 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: gearing up in the zombie apocalypse immediately, you know. I 973 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: I guess because I didn't get the text, some part 974 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 1: of me thinks that I would wait for confirmation, you know, 975 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: because my my wonder was you know, when people put 976 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: you in those you know, what would you do if 977 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: the plane was going down? Right? Well, what if the 978 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: plane didn't go down? What what if you thought you 979 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: were about to get hit with a nuclear weapon and 980 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: you only had a half hour to live, But then 981 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: you don't get hit with a nuclear weapon. You know, 982 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: It's like I have explained some explaining to the neighbors 983 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: to do you know, like what what did anyone act 984 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: on that? In this sort of like, hey, I got 985 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: a half hour to live? What do I do with 986 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: that half hour? And then the half hours up when 987 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 1: you're still there and they're they're broken a strip called Yeah, 988 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna leave a mark. I wonder if there is 989 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,280 Speaker 1: that out there we saw putting people and you're putting 990 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: kids in the sewer. I mean, I don't know I 991 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,240 Speaker 1: would want to believe that that you would you would 992 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: see that and go okay, I need I need more. 993 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 1: I didn't need more, I need more clarification here, like 994 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, um. It reminded me of the story that 995 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 1: you hear about war the worlds that when they announced 996 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: that alien invasion happened in New Jersey and people were 997 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: freaking out. I was like, hold a whole on a second. Yeah, 998 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: I feel like culturally we've also been kind of desensitized 999 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: because like every time there's like a thunderstorm, you get 1000 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: a little word on your phone. The weather channel's going 1001 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,320 Speaker 1: crazy saying we're all gonna die, there's a flash flood 1002 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,720 Speaker 1: come in, blah blah blah. They're running at a pumpkin 1003 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,399 Speaker 1: spice when I mean, what what was that turn they're 1004 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 1: using for that snowstorm? It snowed like six inches snow mgeddon. 1005 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 1: It was like death cycle, cyclone bomb or something like that that. 1006 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 1: I drove right through it. I drove. I just put 1007 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: my car and foil drive, went right through it like 1008 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't even there. So yeah, I wonder if that, 1009 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 1: like that message did go out well back to your 1010 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: mean thing that you know, causing a panic, you know, 1011 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,840 Speaker 1: and this is this is a fear that when you 1012 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 1: when you have twenty four hour coverage of snow Mageddon 1013 00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 1: or the cyclone bomb and then real you have three 1014 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: inches of snow and people aren't dead, The power grid 1015 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: hasn't gone down, you know, there isn't there isn't like 1016 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 1: war for the last gallon of milk. You know, how 1017 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: many times do you cry wolf before people go and 1018 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,359 Speaker 1: then you get a text nuclear weapons being launched. That's 1019 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 1: the same thing too. With that, you know, not to 1020 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: go back to Trump's Twitter, but every single day it's 1021 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,959 Speaker 1: could you believe what Trump tweeted? And that's believe it? 1022 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 1: Something about that Basbok. He was like, yes, I believe it, 1023 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 1: no matter before you even tell me what he tweeted. 1024 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 1: And he was like, thank god, Congress has you know 1025 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: power in our country. We don't live in a dictator 1026 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: I forgot who said it, but they said they said 1027 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: Twitter is the laser point. Trump is the laser point, 1028 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: and the media is the cat. You know that, Like 1029 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: he probably I would not be watched this. I'm gonna 1030 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: tweet something out here. We go, there you go. I 1031 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,799 Speaker 1: can't I sneaky Diane, I can't do it. I can't 1032 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 1: do that. I can't do the daily outrage. I just 1033 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 1: can't do it. I agree. There's there's one guy who 1034 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 1: always tweets me wants me to be as outraged as him. 1035 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: Aren't you outraged? Yeah? Why aren't you outraged? So this 1036 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: this is actually probably a question you get a lot 1037 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: on your radio show. I just know, as a guy 1038 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,760 Speaker 1: who screens phone calls when I was there. Um, Steve 1039 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: Lindberg Lindbergh, baby, okay on on YouTube, that's the next 1040 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: episode of Jack's TV show. We're digging, Baby, We're gonna 1041 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: find it. Do you feel there's a massive case of trees? 1042 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,240 Speaker 1: And with the Quintin's, I think they learned to perfect 1043 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: early on in Arkansas. If you go back and read 1044 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: their relationship with Tyson foods um and and the you 1045 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: know when here's the weird thing. My understanding of that 1046 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: started with Jerry Brown. It wasn't anything that I was like, 1047 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: can I find something there? Jerry Brown in the ninety 1048 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: two primaries looked right at Bill Clinton, said you had 1049 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 1: you were looking the other way while Tyson Food was polluted, 1050 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: polluting the white water and your wife was the attorney 1051 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: for Tyson food ship. Well your states. Yeah, So this 1052 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 1: this started with Jerry Brown. And before Bill Clinton was 1053 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 1: the Bill Clinton, the be got really interested in his 1054 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: relationship with the Walton family and and Mena Arkansas. There's 1055 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 1: a lot of nefarious activities that went down. There's that too, 1056 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: cocaine cowboys. But before Bill Clinton became you know JFK 1057 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: two point oh um or as Colin Quinton what said 1058 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 1: JFK had Mari Monroe and Bill Clinton went for the 1059 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 1: first pair of acid wash jeans that fell out of 1060 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 1: the butt rock, which I love him. That the media 1061 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: was very willing to report more heavily on on their 1062 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 1: sort of their pay for play. And I think it 1063 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: only grew as as their influence grew. I think the 1064 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 1: money got bigger and the the interests got bigger. So 1065 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,440 Speaker 1: you started with, you know, environmental issues in the White 1066 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 1: River and pollution and the biggest two biggest employers in 1067 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 1: Arkansas are Walmartin Tyson Foods. And then you move up 1068 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: to uranium. Yeah, you move up to uranium, and I 1069 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: just I can't This is what I don't understand about 1070 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 1: the Clints. How much is enough? You know, at what 1071 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 1: point do you say we are really potentially creating something 1072 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,480 Speaker 1: that could threaten the United States? And when I when 1073 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: I'm not one of these people I've argued. I argued 1074 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: with Mark Cuban about this. Mark Cuban kind of came 1075 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,760 Speaker 1: after me, like you don't really think that the Clintons 1076 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 1: are sending uranium to RUSSI I'm like, no, no no, no, no, 1077 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: not loading up an a C one thirty and sending 1078 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,439 Speaker 1: it over there. But they are giving them entrance into 1079 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 1: the market where if the Russians are the worst thing 1080 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 1: in the world, why would you want them controlling even 1081 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 1: one percent of American mind uranium. By the way, that 1082 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 1: was one of those things that just started as like 1083 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,799 Speaker 1: tweets back and forth, right and then you know, after 1084 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 1: after tweeting back and forth and me saying, look, I 1085 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: actually respect some of your your you know what, you 1086 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 1: what you believe, I think you're barking up the wrong 1087 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,280 Speaker 1: tree looking for me is like some sort of you know, crazy, 1088 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: you know person. And then he came on the program. 1089 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: It was kind of like, you're not so bad. I 1090 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,240 Speaker 1: did get. What was more out there than Mark Cuban 1091 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 1: randomly kind of calling in or Caitlyn Jenner randomly calling 1092 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: have you seen the pictures of that? Yes? Okay? Um? 1093 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: That I think was more bizarre for people at Serious 1094 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: x M, because I had one executive recently say to 1095 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: me that you are the cross sided, redheaded stepchild at 1096 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: this company and I and she's like, I mean that 1097 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: in the best way possible. That Look, it's it's Manhattan, 1098 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 1: It's the entertainment industry. It is it is what it is, 1099 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, this is this town. And I think that 1100 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 1: the people who don't like conservative media, we can't understand 1101 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: how a Caitlin Jenner could possibly possibly like my program. Um. 1102 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,160 Speaker 1: The same thing goes for Kristen Beck. Kristin Beck Lessons 1103 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 1: calls regularly that Kristin Beck cole recently and said, Andrew, 1104 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 1: you know your beliefs on on a free society.

But when Caitlyn 1108 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: Jenner came in and was set to do this the 1109 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: big book release from Andy Cohen from BABO, and Caitlyn 1110 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 1: Jenner is sitting in the in the green room and 1111 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,959 Speaker 1: they said, could we get you anything?

I have no idea should show 1144 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: it to the camera, Yeah, I'll repost it or something. 1145 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: And we took it. Yeah. It almost reminds me, to 1146 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 1: be honest of like when we've met Trace Atkins, who 1147 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 1: was a friend of the show. Just powers above everybody, 1148 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 1: like you know you talk about on the show Behind 1149 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, the plastic surgery, like Kitlin, what was Bruce 1150 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 1: Jenner as you said, it's like a genetic freak of 1151 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: a man, you know, and you know, without sending people 1152 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: to the angrily, you know, send things to you. Yes, 1153 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,919 Speaker 1: Caitlin was once a you know, just like Kristen Beck 1154 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,480 Speaker 1: was once. I remember saying to to to Chief Beck. 1155 01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: I was like, well how about you bench and Chief 1156 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 1: Beck was like three fifteen. I'm like, yeah, you know, 1157 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: most women don't bet pounds. So you know, even if 1158 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: that is that that they're chosen lifestyle, you can't give 1159 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: up on the fact that you were a Navy seal 1160 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 1: that you know, hoisted lugs over your head and stuff 1161 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 1: like that. I mean, you are big beef. I heard 1162 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Kristen Beck went the last well, one of the last 1163 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 1: times Kristen Beck was on the show, and you were 1164 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 1: in studio with John Gillham, and Kristen Beck was like, John, 1165 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 1: how much do you bet? Exactly kind of conversation that 1166 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 1: we're having here, You know, like, I don't discuss. When 1167 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 1: I tell my wife how much I bet, She's like, 1168 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't care. She's like, I don't care. Yeah, that's funny. Um, 1169 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at some other questions here. This is 1170 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: actually a pretty good question for all of us. I think, um, 1171 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 1: do you think that radio shows or podcasts can eventually 1172 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 1: overpower the twenty four hour news cycle? How can small 1173 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 1: media companies stand a chance against CNN, MSNBC and Fox 1174 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: when they seem to have large bases of revenue streaming 1175 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,959 Speaker 1: in I think it's already happening. Yeah, well, I think 1176 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 1: the truth is and I, you know, not to discount myself, 1177 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I think that the network chieftains. You look at the 1178 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 1: kind of money that's been lost on the signing of 1179 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 1: of of some big media personalities. Recently without naming names. UM, 1180 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 1: I think the days of throwing a twenty million dollar 1181 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: contract at somebody. UM. I think that because people want 1182 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: into this business, I think that they're gonna that. You 1183 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 1: look at podcasters who edit their own podcast or people 1184 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: that do their own YouTube channels. You know. I'll be 1185 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: honest with you, at the new CRTV studio, myself and 1186 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: my producer maybe wielling out the desk for the first 1187 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 1: few months. And I think where this business has m 1188 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 1: built some prima donnas. I think the new sort of 1189 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: rogue new media types are a little bit more rough 1190 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: and tumble and don't expect that twenty million dollar pay day, 1191 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: you know that Like when you look at some of 1192 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: the network news salaries. I think eventually, when they don't 1193 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: get their bank for that buck anymore, you know, and 1194 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: when people start subscribing to new media, and when you 1195 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 1: see that revenue lost at some of these networks, I 1196 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: think that that's when you'll see either the networks adopt 1197 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 1: programs like mine or like yours or whoever's or their 1198 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: business model will get outdated. I don't know. I I 1199 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,960 Speaker 1: think the audience is to even like that kind of 1200 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 1: rough and tumble they don't. They don't want it to 1201 01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 1: be like overproduced. They wanted to feel you know, natural, authentic. 1202 01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. The Fox News called me up 1203 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: and said, look, you know we're buying you out. I will. 1204 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, look, we're all in this business to make money. 1205 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: But you know, I've watched, I've watched. I remember when 1206 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: I first got into radio and some of the paychecks 1207 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: that you'd hear about morning anchors on local station. We're 1208 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 1: not talking the big you know, syndicated shows. It was like, 1209 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 1: oh my god. And then as the years went on, 1210 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: it was kind of like, you know, DJ salaries almost 1211 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 1: became like an hourly wage. Um. You know, I think 1212 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: that that the the audience is spreading out. When you 1213 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: only had three channels and three network anchors, right, you're 1214 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 1: paying for one third of the market. I think as 1215 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,040 Speaker 1: these networks kind of lose market, I would say it's 1216 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: almost like the brewing companies. Right at first Sam Adams 1217 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: wasn't really a threat, and then you had all these 1218 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,080 Speaker 1: up start breweries and then the big brewery started buying 1219 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 1: up some of these some of these brewing companies kind 1220 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 1: of get them out of the way, or at least 1221 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 1: own their market share, that those brewing companies were surviving 1222 01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,280 Speaker 1: without the kind of revenue of an Anheuser Bush And 1223 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: I think as long as there are people who will 1224 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: survive on the salaries and revenue they drive for their 1225 01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: new programs, it will force the networks to reefing their 1226 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 1: business models. I would argue that Joe Rogan, I think 1227 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 1: has a bigger audience than just about anybody. You know, 1228 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't really hear people talk about that. You hear 1229 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 1: what this host said on this show, but I constantly 1230 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 1: hear about who Joe Rogan had on He's always like 1231 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: the top of the the Apple podcast chart. And that's why, 1232 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 1: Like when a Lance Armstrong wanted to do an in 1233 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 1: depth interview about his steroid use about everything, that's where 1234 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: he went. He didn't go to a major network or 1235 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: UM Barack Obama. When he did that in depth interview, 1236 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: it was with UM Mark Mark Barron, So you know, 1237 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 1: I know Mark Barron, and that's a whole another subject. 1238 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: Like not very successful with the liberal talk radio, but 1239 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 1: he found his niche with this podcast thing, and like 1240 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 1: there's podcasts that have way bigger listenership. Then stole the 1241 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 1: versions of podcasting from where I said, yeah, I know, 1242 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, well, Sirius XM is great as well, 1243 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 1: and it is also an alternative to like the traditional 1244 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: am FM thing going on. You know, you've talked about 1245 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 1: it before, the fact that you're competing in the time slot. 1246 01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Rush Limbos says at eleven years and almost twelve, um, 1247 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 1: this is a good one for you, Andrew from Marshall 1248 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 1: Goally um watching on Facebook give We all know that 1249 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,880 Speaker 1: the first term mid term elections are a bad are 1250 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 1: bad for the president's party. Any predictions about Republican loss 1251 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: is also what happened with Jeff Flake, as I remember 1252 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 1: he started out as one of the quote good guys. Well, 1253 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: first of all, I think you can be offended at 1254 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 1: the President's tweets, right, I know plenty of could serves 1255 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: that don't like it. They think the candor is terrible, 1256 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: they think it's a distraction. They would they wish he 1257 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 1: would just govern. You know that that that that all 1258 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: that should have been left on the campaign trail and 1259 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: now he should you be giving up? I I get 1260 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 1: all that. I mean, even though as somebody who thinks 1261 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 1: that we kind of if you're gonna have, if you're 1262 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna drain the swamp. You're gonna have to cause kus 1263 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 1: if you're gonna cause casting it a chaotic figure, right, 1264 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get one without the other. That's that's 1265 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: my belief on it. Jeff Flake trying to refer to 1266 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, normally it's reducto at Hitler room right. It's like, 1267 01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: I don't like you, you're Hitler two. Claim that Donald 1268 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,840 Speaker 1: Trump has any relationship to a man who starved millions 1269 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 1: of people and what's known now historically as food as 1270 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: a weapon. I think this extreme comparisons. It's like comparing 1271 01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 1: telling a dirty joke to rape, which is happening with 1272 01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the Me too movement that some feminists are now starting 1273 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: to worry that that that trying to put everything in 1274 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: one big best like he looked at me funny. That's 1275 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: not like rape, you know. But but when you put 1276 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 1: when you start to compare Donald Trump to Joseph Stalin 1277 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 1: and Adolf Hitler, you're really downplaying what kind of absolute monsters, 1278 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,919 Speaker 1: To be fair, you did compared with because of its propaganda. 1279 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: As far as the Republican losses. Here here's the thing, 1280 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, could this be a stock market bubble? Yes? 1281 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: Could these bonuses be a one off thing. But if 1282 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 1: he gets the economy right, if unemployment stays low, if 1283 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: manure the unemployment like unemployment is historic lows, if people 1284 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 1: are having more money to spend and they're genuinely happy, 1285 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats message having to be something other than that 1286 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 1: is gonna be well, we want to take this all 1287 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 1: away from you. I mean, how if they can't. You 1288 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 1: can't argue with success. That was why Bill Clinton got 1289 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: reelected right. The Republicans didn't have an argument against what 1290 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: was seen as it's the economy stupid, right. Bill Clinton 1291 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: worked with Republicans and got it right on the economy. Um, 1292 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump gets it right on the economy, what's 1293 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 1: the argument against it? What? What is what is the 1294 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: argument against for the average voter. If there's more money 1295 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 1: in their back pockets, if they have more money to spend, 1296 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 1: if therefore, oh one case, or performing better, if jobs 1297 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: are being created in communities that were once decimated by 1298 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,559 Speaker 1: job loss. Now jobs are coming back. I mean, Grant 1299 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Dodge just announced that the RAM factories are opening back 1300 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 1: and they're moving in their production from Mexico back into 1301 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 1: the United States. If this trend continues for the next 1302 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 1: two years. All I would ask anyone from the other 1303 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,639 Speaker 1: side of the als, what's your argument against it? Yeah, 1304 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: I mean people vote with their pocketbooks at the end 1305 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,800 Speaker 1: of the day. Yeah, although, um, you know to to 1306 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:17,720 Speaker 1: give the other side, as we often do on here. 1307 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,360 Speaker 1: We were talking about the tax cut plant, you know, 1308 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:24,000 Speaker 1: the tax cuts, and you were saying, like people like 1309 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: you hurts people like my parents, and which is kind 1310 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 1: of weird. You like, I was under you know, I 1311 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,600 Speaker 1: think people are under the impression that if you're in 1312 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 1: a higher tax bracket, whether you live in New York 1313 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: or you live in you know, Louisiana, the Republicans are 1314 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 1: good for you know, your paycheck, and like people like 1315 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 1: my parents and are getting absolutely screwed, which is kind 1316 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,720 Speaker 1: of surprising, right I think. Look, I still I I 1317 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,519 Speaker 1: still advocate for the flat tax. Um. You know, if 1318 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: you want to make a constitutional equal protection order the law, 1319 01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: we should play pay a single rate for the fair tax, 1320 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: no deductions. I live in New Jersey. You know, I'm 1321 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 1: one of these people that's gonna, you know, have to 1322 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,240 Speaker 1: deal with the state and local tax deduction. And you're 1323 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:05,160 Speaker 1: a property owner. Um the I I guess, um, And 1324 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 1: you see the kind of panic. You know, Phil Murphy 1325 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 1: got inaugurated today. You know, the question is, okay, so 1326 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 1: what are we democrats in these high tech states do 1327 01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:16,280 Speaker 1: you know? You know, it's real easy, it's real easy 1328 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 1: to virtue signal. Look at us. We're in Massachusetts. We 1329 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 1: invest in all kinds of these things. Yeah, but now 1330 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: you gotta pay for it. So when when California and 1331 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey, Illinois have to pay for these 1332 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: wildly generous salaries and pensions for their public employees, when 1333 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,320 Speaker 1: they want to brag on their investments in in in 1334 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: infrastructured education. It was real easy so long as everybody 1335 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 1: was able to write it off, right, what do you care? Right? 1336 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: And these taxes, that is write it off. But once 1337 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,080 Speaker 1: you can't write it off, then you gotta You're gonna see, 1338 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, what I say publicly and what I do privately. 1339 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 1: It's kind of like these Hollywood people like I live 1340 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,879 Speaker 1: in Malibu, but your production companies in Sun Valley, Idaho. 1341 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 1: You know, so that's where you're really paying taxes. You're 1342 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna The question is what are the blue state 1343 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 1: voters going to do the next time they could elect 1344 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,040 Speaker 1: a new state government. I gotta get your opinion before 1345 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 1: you get out of here. On and by the way, 1346 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 1: I should point out Andrew just did a three hour 1347 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 1: radio show that right here, and I'm going over to 1348 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 1: what your TV show in a bit?

The thing 1364 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,759 Speaker 1: with Oprah, I think my only question would be Donald 1365 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 1: Trump came into an established field of Republican to it 1366 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 1: all lined up their ducks and he had a he 1367 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,559 Speaker 1: had a bullet strike. Is she willing to walk in 1368 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,719 Speaker 1: and do that and bullish strike and knock Elizabeth Warren 1369 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 1: out of the way, not Corey Booker out of the way, 1370 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 1: not Kamala Harris out of the way, because and are 1371 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 1: they gonna let her do it? Are they going to 1372 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,440 Speaker 1: have to come back around? It's like you have no experience, 1373 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 1: you have no idea what you're doing. It would I 1374 01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 1: I think, just like it's set off a war in 1375 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 1: Republican circles, it would set up a war in Democrats circles. 1376 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,639 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna all right, I'll let you go and 1377 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: I'll and I'll plug everything by the way, Thanks man, dude, 1378 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 1: thanks for doing this as always, Andrew appreciate it.

UM. I wrote an 1403 01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,679 Speaker 1: article about this movie twelve Strong that's coming out where 1404 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,800 Speaker 1: Thor plays a Special Forces captain. UM. I wrote an 1405 01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,559 Speaker 1: article about I haven't seen the movie. I talked to 1406 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 1: people who have some awareness of it, and uh, some 1407 01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,799 Speaker 1: of this stuff that was going on in the set 1408 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: and anyway. So it's like kind of a background or 1409 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,400 Speaker 1: about the film, and it's I'm kind of notorious for 1410 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: writing like negative film reviews and trash and movies. I'm 1411 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,519 Speaker 1: not I'm not trashing the movie. I'm just saying, understand 1412 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,040 Speaker 1: what it is and what it isn't when you go 1413 01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: and see it. And if you read that article, I'll 1414 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 1: give you a little bit of a background on it. Said, Um, 1415 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: you said that, so that's this movie, right, Uh, yes, 1416 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 1: which we are going to try to get. Doug Stanton 1417 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: actually reached out. So really it'll be interesting, Uh, I'll 1418 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 1: try It'll be interesting because the civil the guys tell 1419 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,719 Speaker 1: me that the book is in the movie are both 1420 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,559 Speaker 1: pretty inaccurate. Their experience was interesting, but we didn't have 1421 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: that conversation of course. Yeah. Um, so we covered this earlier, 1422 01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,160 Speaker 1: but a trillion thoughts asks and I think this is inaccurate. 1423 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Sol correct it, but says what made you guys bring 1424 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: down the paywall for soft rep TV. The paywall is 1425 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: not down for softwarep TV correct, just down for for 1426 01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 1: software soft rep dot com. And as for what made it, 1427 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: I think we covered some of that. I don't know 1428 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,639 Speaker 1: if there's anything we Yeah, I mean I don't. I'm 1429 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,600 Speaker 1: an editor and I deal with the content, so I 1430 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I can't like walk you through the numbers 1431 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 1: and everything of like why, But I think it's just 1432 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:18,040 Speaker 1: about getting more more page views, getting very well. So yeah, 1433 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,760 Speaker 1: so we're not relying just on soft reap anymore. We 1434 01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: have all these other endeavors. There's a whole constellation UM 1435 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 1: underneath Hurricane, and soft Rep is one of them. So 1436 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 1: we're not totally relying on soft Rep subscriptions for UM 1437 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,040 Speaker 1: for revenue. So we're able to kind of open up 1438 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 1: that door and share our material with a much larger audience. 1439 01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: Now I see that Andrew's producer wrote, Yes, this is 1440 01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,760 Speaker 1: Andrew's producer. He's totally late. That's funny. Um. Yeah, no, 1441 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,160 Speaker 1: that's great to see. So we have a shot show 1442 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 1: coming up next week, a bunch of us next week 1443 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 1: already hotly sh it, we're a week away, buddy treating 1444 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 1: up on me.

I think we 1446 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 1: we got into a lot here. So that's yeah, that's 1447 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: about it, man.

And while I was 1497 01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 1: part time there, I became full time around the same 1498 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: time that Brandon texted me and said, do you want 1499 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,480 Speaker 1: to do the podcast with us? And it was like absolutely, 1500 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,840 Speaker 1: why not. So it's been a blast doing it.

And there's so much stuff in the archives. 1513 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:29,559 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, soft reap dot com. There there's some zingers 1514 01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,120 Speaker 1: in there, there's some good stuff. Uh, you know, you 1515 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 1: go searching around in there. Um. Everything I've ever written 1516 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 1: is on there, or everything I've ever written as far 1517 01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 1: as like journalism is on there um and many many 1518 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,760 Speaker 1: other great writers that we've had working for us. Um. 1519 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,479 Speaker 1: So it's exciting that all that stuff is shared with 1520 01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 1: a larger audience. Now. Yeah, I you know, I didn't 1521 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 1: have time to get into it in the whole intro 1522 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 1: with Andrew because I didn't want to, you know, waste 1523 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: too much of his time. But the thing that I 1524 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,640 Speaker 1: always think of is that I think there's certain investigative 1525 01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 1: pieces you have written in particular that I could very 1526 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,360 Speaker 1: well see being like top of Drudge Report linking to 1527 01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,120 Speaker 1: soft rep. But for the most part, these type of 1528 01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 1: websites don't want to link to a paid subscription service. 1529 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 1: So I think it will really help us get page 1530 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 1: views up and get our name out there to bigger outlets. 1531 01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure it will. Um. You know, because we were 1532 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,559 Speaker 1: a subscriber service, UM, and we we had this very 1533 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 1: interesting thing going on, and it was it was a 1534 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 1: niche and um, in some way it was kind of 1535 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 1: elitist because it's like you have to be a member 1536 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,800 Speaker 1: to read, which I personally liked because you could see 1537 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 1: the pandemonium on the internet and on social media and 1538 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 1: how it's like a free fer all. Um and the 1539 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 1: comments section, Oh my god, the comments section will never 1540 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 1: read the comments. And I mean, look, I'm I'll tell 1541 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 1: you right here on Facebook Live, like I don't read 1542 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: the comments often on our Facebook page response sometimes though, 1543 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: but sometimes once in a while, but I very rarely 1544 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,680 Speaker 1: read them to begin with, because most people are just 1545 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:05,320 Speaker 1: having an emotional sort of you know, lashing out about 1546 01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:08,880 Speaker 1: a headline or something like that. UM. And I always 1547 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,920 Speaker 1: like to soffer it because we had a subscriber service 1548 01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,519 Speaker 1: and like the people who are there were people who 1549 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 1: wanted to be there and they could disagree with what's written, 1550 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,720 Speaker 1: of course and have that conversation. But it wasn't um, 1551 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: the sort of like free for all name calling childish 1552 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,920 Speaker 1: nonsense that we see on social media. But um, nonetheless, 1553 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean we it's still is that way, if you 1554 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 1: want to leave, you have to be a member to 1555 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: leave a comment on the site. So for the people 1556 01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:37,080 Speaker 1: who do hang out on the website and enjoy those conversations, um, 1557 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: it's not going to be that free for all that 1558 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,280 Speaker 1: they find on it. And there's other incentives to be 1559 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,040 Speaker 1: a member to, you know, like the team room party. Um, 1560 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll do another one of those next year. Yeah, 1561 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,599 Speaker 1: there's a lot of other functionality on the website. There's 1562 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,639 Speaker 1: people who like the chat functions and all that kind 1563 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 1: of stuff. So yeah, very cool. And yeah, I think 1564 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,559 Speaker 1: of like an article, you know, like the dick by 1565 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,439 Speaker 1: sixth article de peaceably would have been picked up by 1566 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,720 Speaker 1: other news news agency. Here's here's some news on on 1567 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,519 Speaker 1: DP six Uh, CNN is producing an article on it. 1568 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: Then they've been down far to interviewing people. Will you 1569 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: at least get any credit for any probably notably, they're 1570 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 1: probably gonna claim that they're breaking this story. I'm sure, Um, 1571 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, they're they're following on my heels, I guess. 1572 01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean they were interested in I don't know how 1573 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,639 Speaker 1: they got a tip about this story to begin with, 1574 01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 1: but they were already attempting to work on this story 1575 01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 1: around the same time that I started working on the story, Okay, 1576 01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: because I was gonna say, I do you know and 1577 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,800 Speaker 1: you know this too. I even just see from who 1578 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 1: follows us on Twitter and stuff. There's plenty of news 1579 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 1: agencies and news news hosting stuff who follow stuff wrap, 1580 01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,759 Speaker 1: who read all of our stuff watch, and there are 1581 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,800 Speaker 1: outlets um like CNN. Honestly, I mean, I don't know 1582 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,760 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. And it's not a criticism of 1583 01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 1: the story they're working on about DP six and all that, 1584 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Um, but CNN has in the 1585 01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 1: past hijacked my work. I mean there's one woman they 1586 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,680 Speaker 1: had working for them for a wile that would read 1587 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: my stories and then she just rewrite them in her 1588 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 1: own words and go upon there. It's like, man, really, 1589 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 1: um who from the Hive? The Chive? Even foreign Policy? Um, 1590 01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, I did a big story about how technology 1591 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 1: was impacting espionage and I interviewed a bunch of CIA 1592 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:23,400 Speaker 1: people and one Massad uh former MASSAD officer, and um, 1593 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 1: like to three weeks later, there's a story on Foreign 1594 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Policy about the same subject. Uh. They went and tried 1595 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,880 Speaker 1: to cut rolling Stone. They took they wanted to talk 1596 01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,080 Speaker 1: to me about the Wayne Simmons story, and I refused 1597 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,559 Speaker 1: as because I don't talk to Rolling Stone as just 1598 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 1: a matter of principle. And um, they like basically rewrote 1599 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,280 Speaker 1: my story and they even used the same pictures.
