Our friend Michael Malice is here. His podcast 0:00:27.177 --> 0:00:30.137 is You're Welcome with Michael Malice, his book The White 0:00:30.217 --> 0:00:32.937 Palist Fantastic, has written many great books. Follow him on 0:00:32.977 --> 0:00:38.017 Twitter excellent follow He sorry, X now, I know it's X. 0:00:38.097 --> 0:00:39.937 I can never you know, I feel like I'm never 0:00:39.937 --> 0:00:42.977 gonna be able to make this transition different kind of 0:00:42.977 --> 0:00:44.377 transition entirely. 0:00:44.417 --> 0:00:45.217 But he joins us. 0:00:45.217 --> 0:00:47.337 Now, and let's start with this because as you and 0:00:47.377 --> 0:00:49.897 I are talking, there's a lot of hubbub. 0:00:50.537 --> 0:00:51.177 We go ahead. 0:00:51.777 --> 0:00:53.937 I've usually used the people demanding I never returned. 0:00:54.337 --> 0:00:57.377 So this is a very well cood show that they demand. 0:00:57.417 --> 0:01:00.657 The commenters and everything, well, this is funny. They like 0:01:00.697 --> 0:01:03.577 when you make fun of my giant head. They all remember. So, 0:01:04.377 --> 0:01:06.857 you know, because because you're you, you're the only You're 0:01:06.897 --> 0:01:08.297 the one that comes on my show. It's one thing 0:01:08.337 --> 0:01:10.217 I've on on your show or someone else's shit, and 0:01:10.217 --> 0:01:11.977 they're making fun of my giant cranium. But you're the 0:01:12.057 --> 0:01:13.897 one who comes into my living room and is like, 0:01:13.977 --> 0:01:15.857 I don't know if your head can fit in here. 0:01:15.937 --> 0:01:17.137 So we have to figure this out. 0:01:17.977 --> 0:01:19.737 If we're not going to be having fun, we're not 0:01:19.777 --> 0:01:22.097 going to win the truth. Who are in the middle, 0:01:22.217 --> 0:01:26.017 who are ambiguous voters or politically ambiguous, will want to 0:01:26.057 --> 0:01:28.857 go where the fun people are just at an instinct level. 0:01:29.057 --> 0:01:31.657 So it's really important to have a good time because 0:01:31.697 --> 0:01:33.737 that look at Trump and McDonald's look at Trump with 0:01:33.777 --> 0:01:35.457 the garbage truck. I'm starry to detail what we're going 0:01:35.537 --> 0:01:37.537 to say, but this is such an important point that 0:01:37.577 --> 0:01:39.817 I think a lot of people in our side, hardly speaking, 0:01:39.817 --> 0:01:40.497 don't appreciate. 0:01:40.697 --> 0:01:43.057 No, it's absolutely true, and I know people will be 0:01:43.377 --> 0:01:45.057 not happy to know this, but it was one of 0:01:45.177 --> 0:01:49.737 solid Lensky's Eureka moments for activism. Oh yeah, that it 0:01:49.737 --> 0:01:52.857 should be fun. He's ad activism should be and you 0:01:52.897 --> 0:01:54.857 saw this well for years with the Left with a 0:01:54.857 --> 0:01:57.457 lot of their live streaming of their weird protests and things. 0:01:57.497 --> 0:01:59.857 Make it a show, make it enjoyable, make it a 0:01:59.897 --> 0:02:02.457 thing that people want to go do. Olinsky knew that 0:02:02.577 --> 0:02:04.577 decades ago, and it turns out it's true. 0:02:05.177 --> 0:02:09.057 And it's the power. And Obama's supermajorities was because George 0:02:09.057 --> 0:02:12.777 Bush is a miserable like chocolate ie and we're the 0:02:12.777 --> 0:02:13.337 fun people. 0:02:13.457 --> 0:02:16.257 Yeah, I mean you saw this even also with with Trump, 0:02:16.337 --> 0:02:18.017 you know, on the on the other side or you know, 0:02:18.017 --> 0:02:21.337 flipping things around where he did the burger King thing, 0:02:21.537 --> 0:02:25.977 which was just like legitimately very amusing, like you know, 0:02:26.177 --> 0:02:32.257 I'm all, so whatever, whatever, it's a McDonald's McDonald. 0:02:32.457 --> 0:02:34.297 You know why this is a big difference because I 0:02:34.337 --> 0:02:36.577 was an immigrant kid and when I was a kid 0:02:36.577 --> 0:02:39.017 growing up in Bensonhurst and that burg King is still there. 0:02:39.417 --> 0:02:41.817 Going to Burger King was such a treat and so exciting, 0:02:42.097 --> 0:02:44.137 and I ate it again as an adult as an adult, 0:02:44.137 --> 0:02:46.137 and it was inedible. And I've asked people, I'm like, 0:02:46.177 --> 0:02:48.377 did I change or did the Burking change? And they 0:02:48.377 --> 0:02:50.417 all said the Burking change. When we were kids, burg 0:02:50.457 --> 0:02:53.057 King McDonald's would head to head, and now burger King 0:02:53.137 --> 0:02:53.977 is a distant eighth. 0:02:54.697 --> 0:02:54.937 Yeah. 0:02:54.977 --> 0:02:57.577 I actually remember people saying burger King had had like 0:02:57.857 --> 0:03:02.137 the consensus in my world, whatever that means growing up 0:03:02.137 --> 0:03:04.657 in New York was that Burger King actually had better burgers. 0:03:04.697 --> 0:03:08.057 When I was a kid was such a Yeah, it 0:03:08.097 --> 0:03:10.737 was better, but apparently that's changed. Okay, yes, but McDonald's. 0:03:10.737 --> 0:03:14.777 My point merely being about when we're discussing that, the 0:03:14.857 --> 0:03:17.057 media going, oh my gosh, he doesn't even really work 0:03:17.097 --> 0:03:20.497 at McDonald's like they were. They were the people in 0:03:20.537 --> 0:03:23.657 the high school who were telling you that you would 0:03:23.697 --> 0:03:26.857 just stay for detention because you know, you walked up 0:03:26.857 --> 0:03:28.857 to the school with your headphones on or something like. 0:03:28.897 --> 0:03:30.617 They just no fun, no fun. 0:03:31.217 --> 0:03:33.617 When I worked on two books at del Hughley, he 0:03:33.657 --> 0:03:35.697 made a point he said, is very startledly. He goes, 0:03:35.937 --> 0:03:38.577 this country hates poor people, hates them, and I didn't 0:03:38.577 --> 0:03:40.697 really take it what he meant to heart. And then 0:03:40.737 --> 0:03:42.737 this is what he was talking about, is that if 0:03:42.777 --> 0:03:44.697 you work for the New York Times, someone who works 0:03:44.697 --> 0:03:47.977 at McDonald's is beneath you, is barely human being. The 0:03:48.057 --> 0:03:50.137 idea that their voice should be heard in any context 0:03:50.177 --> 0:03:53.777 is ridiculous and a joke. And the contempt from media 0:03:53.817 --> 0:03:58.377 elites towards like working class people is overwhelming. And to 0:03:58.457 --> 0:04:02.257 have Trump be a McDonald's not really ironically, Hey, I'm 0:04:02.337 --> 0:04:04.697 chipping in, I'm serving the fries, I'm doing the job. 0:04:05.057 --> 0:04:07.137 I'm not here like making fun of these people. I'm 0:04:07.137 --> 0:04:09.457 trying to ingratiate myself with them. Obviously I'm a billionaire, 0:04:09.617 --> 0:04:12.097 but you see me eating McDonald's all the time. I 0:04:12.217 --> 0:04:15.137 enjoy not ironically having on my planes. That I think 0:04:15.217 --> 0:04:17.537 was such a telling moment in terms of authenticity and 0:04:17.617 --> 0:04:20.977 who likes this country and who really would spit in 0:04:21.017 --> 0:04:22.177 the face of half this country? 0:04:22.217 --> 0:04:24.337 And you know that's that's also I think a very 0:04:24.337 --> 0:04:28.177 interesting point, which is that he actually likes McDonald's the food. 0:04:28.217 --> 0:04:30.977 We know that's it wasn't some It wasn't Hillary Clinton 0:04:31.097 --> 0:04:33.617 pretending she carries hot sauce in her bag when she's 0:04:33.617 --> 0:04:35.737 speaking at a remember that, which he was speaking to 0:04:35.777 --> 0:04:38.017 like minority congregations. All of a sudden, she's like, I 0:04:38.057 --> 0:04:39.777 carry hot sauce in my bag. And I was like, please, 0:04:40.017 --> 0:04:40.737 don't you know? 0:04:40.977 --> 0:04:42.737 Noh, no, no, you know that's what happened. She was 0:04:42.737 --> 0:04:45.697 on Charlot Mine show in the morning Zoo and he 0:04:45.737 --> 0:04:47.977 goes yes or something, and she's like, He's like, she 0:04:48.017 --> 0:04:49.577 goes like, what do you carry your purse? She goes 0:04:49.617 --> 0:04:52.577 hot sauce, and he goes, you're just trying to ingratiate 0:04:52.617 --> 0:04:54.297 yourself to black people, do you know what she said, 0:04:54.737 --> 0:04:58.057 she goes, is it working? She literally said that. 0:04:58.297 --> 0:05:00.497 I actually did not remember that, but now that you 0:05:00.537 --> 0:05:03.097 are jogging my memory because I discerned feel of making 0:05:03.097 --> 0:05:04.297 fun of her, like going around. 0:05:04.497 --> 0:05:06.137 Yes, okay, so that's see. 0:05:06.137 --> 0:05:09.257 That's a perfect example of like not doing it in 0:05:09.257 --> 0:05:12.617 a way that you know authenticity. 0:05:13.217 --> 0:05:14.617 And this was really one. 0:05:14.497 --> 0:05:18.177 Of Trump's is one of Trump's superpowers is he is 0:05:18.217 --> 0:05:20.137 who he is and that's who he is. That sounds 0:05:20.177 --> 0:05:22.857 kind of like Popeye eating spinach, but you know he is. 0:05:23.177 --> 0:05:25.737 It's the truth, right, He doesn't he doesn't pretend to 0:05:25.777 --> 0:05:28.977 be something else. And I think increasingly because we're all 0:05:29.017 --> 0:05:31.577 so exposed to each other via social media and just 0:05:31.617 --> 0:05:34.577 everything that's going on, especially public figures. Right, you see 0:05:34.577 --> 0:05:36.577 more of public This is why people think actors are 0:05:36.737 --> 0:05:40.017 like just you know, venal morons now more than ever, 0:05:40.337 --> 0:05:42.537 more than ever before, because we know, we look at 0:05:42.537 --> 0:05:44.177 the one that we're like, you guys are idiots, which 0:05:44.217 --> 0:05:46.137 is great, by the way, good for society. Actors were 0:05:46.177 --> 0:05:50.257 way too elevated in our culture and in just general consciousness. 0:05:51.097 --> 0:05:55.337 But I think that people see fakeness as fakeness is 0:05:55.377 --> 0:05:57.977 like the unforgivable sin in public in a lot of 0:05:58.017 --> 0:06:00.417 ways now. And I know people say, oh, what about 0:06:00.417 --> 0:06:03.577 the pandering. You can pander to people while still being 0:06:03.617 --> 0:06:07.377 true to yourself as a politician, which Trump. 0:06:07.217 --> 0:06:10.777 Is textbook new money people who are these bloods like 0:06:10.817 --> 0:06:13.857 the Kennedy's or whose you know families go like Anderson Cooper, 0:06:13.857 --> 0:06:16.897 who's like a Vanderbilt. They don't have toilets meet of gold. 0:06:17.257 --> 0:06:19.897 That is something where like you're trashy, your tastes cy 0:06:19.937 --> 0:06:23.457 complete garbage, and you're ostentatious. And Trump is new money. 0:06:23.857 --> 0:06:25.417 Maybe his family is cause of money, but he's not 0:06:25.457 --> 0:06:27.857 old money in that kind of Boston Brahmin sense. And 0:06:27.897 --> 0:06:31.737 people see that, they see he's not classy in this 0:06:31.977 --> 0:06:34.537 bourgeois you know, ivy, the New Yorker kind of way. 0:06:35.337 --> 0:06:37.897 No, I remember, even growing up in New York that 0:06:37.977 --> 0:06:41.857 there was a sense with Trump that he was, let's 0:06:41.897 --> 0:06:46.097 just say, he wasn't considered elite the way that you 0:06:46.137 --> 0:06:48.697 know some of the other families that had been around 0:06:48.777 --> 0:06:50.857 for a long you know, Vanderbilts and things like that. 0:06:51.737 --> 0:06:55.217 And so yeah, there is that blue collar billionaire approach. 0:06:55.217 --> 0:06:57.417 All right, I've got to get you on Canada here, 0:06:58.377 --> 0:07:02.257 Oh Canada, they're playing the hockey game to the second 0:07:02.297 --> 0:07:05.457 hockey game. I guess tonight Trump keeps saying fifty first 0:07:05.497 --> 0:07:08.577 state Justin Trudeau, the governor of Canada. Canadians are getting 0:07:08.577 --> 0:07:10.777 all pissy about it. What are you think about this 0:07:10.817 --> 0:07:11.217 whole thing? 0:07:11.337 --> 0:07:11.777 Canada? 0:07:12.417 --> 0:07:14.897 How should we handle this? Why is this happening? Why 0:07:14.937 --> 0:07:16.577 is this conversation happening right now? 0:07:16.897 --> 0:07:20.937 The answer you ready? Okay? Trump has no allegiance to 0:07:20.977 --> 0:07:24.457 like the establishment its history. He's really overturning a lot 0:07:24.457 --> 0:07:26.937 of things that started from scratch in a very positive way. 0:07:26.977 --> 0:07:28.977 I feel that. I'm sure you agree. One of the 0:07:28.977 --> 0:07:32.057 big issues on the tables, reparations and reparations is a 0:07:32.097 --> 0:07:34.857 tricky one because if I kind of break your bike, 0:07:34.937 --> 0:07:36.897 I have to buy you in your bike. Well, how 0:07:36.897 --> 0:07:38.857 do you make reparation with slavery? If my great grandparents 0:07:38.857 --> 0:07:40.417 were slaves, I can't just write you a check. It 0:07:40.417 --> 0:07:43.017 doesn't really make you whole. But I did some math. 0:07:43.617 --> 0:07:47.337 According to Google, there's forty one point five million African Americans, 0:07:47.737 --> 0:07:51.297 there's forty million Canadians. They don't want to be free. 0:07:51.537 --> 0:07:55.097 So I say, annex Canada. Every African American gets a 0:07:55.097 --> 0:07:58.337 Canadian as a slave. And that is true. Reparations will 0:07:58.337 --> 0:08:00.697 solve the problem of racism forever, and will solve the 0:08:00.697 --> 0:08:03.777 problem with Canada forever. Slavery in the south was unconscionable, 0:08:03.977 --> 0:08:07.377 so the opposite slavery in the north is a wonderful miracle. 0:08:08.217 --> 0:08:10.257 It's the craziest thing I've ever heard. But people who 0:08:10.257 --> 0:08:12.697 can take that as they wish, so. 0:08:13.017 --> 0:08:15.817 They continue on as they are. 0:08:16.817 --> 0:08:20.417 I think that Canada is a nice country of nice 0:08:20.457 --> 0:08:22.017 people on frontfortune. 0:08:23.137 --> 0:08:25.377 They can sing in the field, they could sing their 0:08:25.377 --> 0:08:28.137 maple syrup songs in the fields. Oh Canada. 0:08:28.937 --> 0:08:32.017 What do you think of the Greenland maneuver? Is that 0:08:32.057 --> 0:08:34.137 a real thing too? Is that something that you think 0:08:34.177 --> 0:08:36.697 Trump actually is going to continue to pursue. 0:08:36.457 --> 0:08:38.417 Or is that just does that just trolling? 0:08:39.177 --> 0:08:41.177 I'm gonna say there's two points to this. I remember 0:08:41.217 --> 0:08:44.137 the inauguration day. There's a video of this and Trump 0:08:44.217 --> 0:08:47.137 is giving it a talk speech shortly after being inaugurated, 0:08:47.337 --> 0:08:49.217 and he goes in going forward, we're going to change 0:08:49.217 --> 0:08:51.657 Mountain Nally back to Mount McKinley, which have had been 0:08:51.697 --> 0:08:54.977 forever until Obama kamlong, and we're gonna call it the 0:08:55.017 --> 0:08:57.857 Gulf of America. And there's a shot of Hillary sitting 0:08:57.897 --> 0:09:00.297 in the audience like three people down, and she just 0:09:00.337 --> 0:09:02.297 burst that lap. And because she's like, sure, why not, Okay, 0:09:02.337 --> 0:09:04.537 we're colle the Golf of America. Not sure. Day one, 0:09:05.497 --> 0:09:08.457 she was on the phone with the Prime Minister of 0:09:08.497 --> 0:09:11.257 Denmark and he's telling here, no, no, no, no, no, this isn't 0:09:11.297 --> 0:09:13.937 a joke. We're getting Greenland by hooker, by crook, and 0:09:14.057 --> 0:09:16.337 she was like apoplectic, and she's like, he's like, look, 0:09:16.377 --> 0:09:18.417 you're Greenland. The hell you're a Denmark. What are you 0:09:18.457 --> 0:09:20.217 going to do about it? So it is a very 0:09:20.217 --> 0:09:22.617 funny moment, and I don't think he's joking because per 0:09:22.697 --> 0:09:27.777 my understanding, Greenland has like trillions of dollars of natural resources. 0:09:28.017 --> 0:09:32.097 It's enormously underdeveloped. The natives there's only thirty thousand people there, 0:09:32.297 --> 0:09:36.177 do not particularly feel Danish in heritage or any kind 0:09:36.177 --> 0:09:36.937 of allegiance. 0:09:37.417 --> 0:09:39.257 No are I say, much closer, Like a lot of 0:09:39.297 --> 0:09:42.937 them are effectively like they're much closer to Eskimos in 0:09:43.057 --> 0:09:48.657 terms of that's my understanding, yes, or first people, First people, 0:09:48.977 --> 0:09:50.657 I mean some of them are Eskimos, some of them 0:09:50.697 --> 0:09:52.417 are in you And it depends on the tribe or whatever. 0:09:52.497 --> 0:09:54.937 Right there are some eskimos, but you. 0:09:54.857 --> 0:09:57.097 Don't say escam was inclusive of all of them. 0:09:57.017 --> 0:09:59.217 Right, it's it's first people's thank you. 0:09:59.457 --> 0:10:01.257 See.

All right, mister malice Trump versus 0:11:01.417 --> 0:11:04.537 the corporate media? Are they even fighting back anymore? 0:11:04.577 --> 0:11:04.937 Are they? 0:11:05.417 --> 0:11:07.697 Are they so defeated that they have to just lie 0:11:07.737 --> 0:11:09.897 on the canvas and hope that the ref gives them 0:11:09.897 --> 0:11:13.297 an enough time that they can resurrect themselves, like what 0:11:13.457 --> 0:11:14.137 happens now. 0:11:15.137 --> 0:11:17.257 I mean, I don't think they're defeated at all. They're 0:11:17.257 --> 0:11:19.377 They're not going to give up without a fight. They're not, 0:11:19.737 --> 0:11:21.257 I don't. I just think they don't have much of 0:11:21.257 --> 0:11:23.697 an uppercut left to them. I'm sure you saw this 0:11:23.777 --> 0:11:27.897 a few days ago Jim Acosta failed and fired. Jim Acosta, 0:11:27.977 --> 0:11:30.977 formerly of CNN, said, you know what, since Trump isn't 0:11:30.977 --> 0:11:33.497 going to seat the AP in the White House Press Corps, 0:11:33.497 --> 0:11:36.057 I think that's where it was all the journalist should 0:11:36.057 --> 0:11:38.697 bend together and stop covering Trump so there's not even 0:11:38.737 --> 0:11:41.457 a pretense that their job is to provide information to 0:11:41.497 --> 0:11:44.057 the public. And what the public decide. It is clearly 0:11:44.097 --> 0:11:46.337 that we're going to be the gatekeepers of who knows what, 0:11:46.697 --> 0:11:49.817 and we decide what's important, what's news. And the pretense 0:11:49.857 --> 0:11:52.177 that you, Jim Acosta, are you going to are going 0:11:52.217 --> 0:11:54.337 to decide that what the President of the United States 0:11:54.337 --> 0:11:57.697 says is a newsworthy is a level of hubris that 0:11:57.777 --> 0:11:59.617 I can wrap my head around. And there's a book 0:11:59.617 --> 0:12:02.697 about me called Ego Hubris. So I think the masks 0:12:02.697 --> 0:12:04.857 are dropping, and I'm buck I'm sure you and all 0:12:04.897 --> 0:12:08.617 your listeners, without what exception, is delighted to what extent 0:12:08.977 --> 0:12:12.897 the typical American who is often a political has contempt 0:12:12.897 --> 0:12:16.097 for the corporate press. The numbers are the lowest since ever. 0:12:16.417 --> 0:12:19.017 I think they started asking these questions in the seventies. 0:12:19.377 --> 0:12:22.057 There was a blip upwards for Democrats during COVID, but 0:12:22.217 --> 0:12:24.457 now it's crater across the board. And I think you 0:12:24.537 --> 0:12:27.377 also saw I'm sure we probably talked about this when USA. 0:12:27.577 --> 0:12:30.257 You see all these bribes to all these different news 0:12:30.297 --> 0:12:34.217 agencies and complete violation of basic americanism and also the 0:12:34.217 --> 0:12:37.657 First Amendment. And you know, I'm driving a truck, I'm 0:12:37.697 --> 0:12:40.977 working at McDonald's. My tax money is paying to. 0:12:40.977 --> 0:12:45.337 Some can I curse, no, but come close to it. 0:12:45.457 --> 0:12:47.857 My tax money is paying for some poop lib who 0:12:47.937 --> 0:12:51.137 writes for Politico about how Joe Rogan's bad now because 0:12:51.137 --> 0:12:52.897 he liked Elon Musk. F you. 0:12:53.577 --> 0:12:53.937 Yeah, no. 0:12:54.177 --> 0:12:57.697 The the funniest thing was was when they were like, 0:12:58.177 --> 0:12:59.617 we're not getting any handouts. 0:12:59.977 --> 0:13:02.497 Are twenty thousand dollars a year for political pro is 0:13:02.537 --> 0:13:06.497 worth it? Twenty thousand dollars a year unless unless you 0:13:06.497 --> 0:13:09.217 know the government or your massive company is picking up 0:13:09.217 --> 0:13:11.937 that build. One pays twenty thousand dollars a year for 0:13:12.657 --> 0:13:15.977 Politico to tell them you know what the congressional switchboard 0:13:16.057 --> 0:13:16.537 numbers are. 0:13:16.697 --> 0:13:17.457 It's insane. 0:13:17.977 --> 0:13:20.417 The only way this could work is if it's effectively 0:13:20.977 --> 0:13:23.257 to me, it's like, yeah, Hunter Biden's paintings are worth 0:13:23.297 --> 0:13:26.617 five hundred thousand dollars because people are willing to pay that. 0:13:27.137 --> 0:13:29.617 But they're willing to pay that because he is the 0:13:29.657 --> 0:13:32.217 president's son. We're not idiots. And the same thing with 0:13:32.257 --> 0:13:35.657 Political pro You don't have a media entity or a 0:13:35.697 --> 0:13:39.297 news organization so to speak. Website basically with some annoying 0:13:39.337 --> 0:13:43.217 lib reporters charging twenty thousand dollars year subscriptions unless you 0:13:43.337 --> 0:13:47.737 know that there are corporations, and specifically the biggest corporation 0:13:47.777 --> 0:13:49.777 of all, the federal government is going to be writing 0:13:49.777 --> 0:13:51.977 you a checks for this stuff because it's all about 0:13:52.017 --> 0:13:52.777 buying access. 0:13:53.617 --> 0:13:57.097 I remember Democratic partisans would argue, well, you know, Barisma 0:13:57.137 --> 0:13:59.377 or whoever Ukrainian company has a right to hire whoever 0:13:59.417 --> 0:14:01.617 they want, which is fair. And it's like, okay, in 0:14:01.657 --> 0:14:04.177 your opinion, why they choose to hire some American crackhead 0:14:04.337 --> 0:14:08.417 for their guest company? Greaty? Why why did they hire 0:14:08.457 --> 0:14:11.417 him because of his history with lighting up crack pipes? 0:14:11.457 --> 0:14:12.337 What are you talking about? 0:14:13.177 --> 0:14:16.217 It's it's it's been crazy time that Mitch. 0:14:16.137 --> 0:14:18.857 McConnell has announced that he's retiring. He's getting run out 0:14:18.857 --> 0:14:20.697 of town in the rail I knew. 0:14:20.737 --> 0:14:21.937 I mean, he didn't have long leve. 0:14:21.977 --> 0:14:24.377 It is a health and physical thing, so I mean, yes, 0:14:24.457 --> 0:14:26.497 I'm happy that he's retired. He should have retired I 0:14:26.937 --> 0:14:31.177 think a term ago, just based on health and physical 0:14:31.177 --> 0:14:33.937 frailty and mental frailty issues. He had those freezing moments. 0:14:34.377 --> 0:14:35.617 We all know what that is like. 0:14:35.657 --> 0:14:37.897 I've I've been around very old people who are dealing 0:14:37.897 --> 0:14:39.857 with that stuff, and it's sad that it happens. And 0:14:40.817 --> 0:14:44.617 the gerontocracy in this country is very real. And I 0:14:44.657 --> 0:14:47.977 do think that this Trump administration, while Trump is older, 0:14:48.137 --> 0:14:50.377 the people look at the people that he's staffing up with, 0:14:50.857 --> 0:14:53.417 there's no old there's no old fogies in the mix. 0:14:53.457 --> 0:14:56.097 I mean, you know, it's HEG Sat, it's Cash, it's Tulsi, 0:14:56.737 --> 0:14:59.657 Uh okay, RFK Junior. But that's at HHS. I mean 0:14:59.657 --> 0:15:01.697 you look at the end and obviously jd Vance is 0:15:01.737 --> 0:15:04.497 his VP. I think that that we're moving away from 0:15:04.537 --> 0:15:06.617 that which is which is all to the good. Here's 0:15:06.657 --> 0:15:08.577 a question I have for you, though, Go ahead, one 0:15:08.577 --> 0:15:08.937 more thing. 0:15:09.297 --> 0:15:11.137 Yeah, there was a bit the conspily theory in twenty 0:15:11.177 --> 0:15:13.697 twenty four that Joe Biden was replaced with the body double. 0:15:14.257 --> 0:15:16.497 My conspiracy theory is that Trump was replaced within bidy 0:15:16.537 --> 0:15:18.537 double in twenty twenty four because this man in the 0:15:18.537 --> 0:15:20.137 White House is not the same person we saw for 0:15:20.177 --> 0:15:22.777 four years as president. That person has surround himself with 0:15:22.777 --> 0:15:26.337 the rens previous Rex Tillerson, like all he drained the 0:15:26.337 --> 0:15:29.697 swamp by hiring it. This is a completely different human being. 0:15:29.737 --> 0:15:31.057 And I did not see any of this coming or 0:15:31.057 --> 0:15:32.257 at least. 0:15:31.777 --> 0:15:35.697 But by the way, I agree with your assessments. It 0:15:35.697 --> 0:15:38.537 feels like a totally different person. I would say, though, 0:15:39.257 --> 0:15:43.057 when you see people, when you see the system after 0:15:43.097 --> 0:15:45.937 your defeat in twenty twenty as Trump, when you see 0:15:45.977 --> 0:15:48.577 them decide that it's not enough that they have power, 0:15:48.857 --> 0:15:51.657 but now they want to ruin you everyone around you, 0:15:52.217 --> 0:15:55.737 lock you up in prison, and then on two different occasions, 0:15:55.737 --> 0:15:57.937 someone tries to kill you, in one case puts a 0:15:57.977 --> 0:16:03.057 bullet through your ear. I think that, irrespective of my 0:16:03.057 --> 0:16:04.897 feelings about Trump, I think that changes the person. 0:16:04.977 --> 0:16:05.417 I really do. 0:16:05.697 --> 0:16:08.577 I think that your perspective on life and everything is different. 0:16:08.617 --> 0:16:08.937 After that. 0:16:09.617 --> 0:16:12.977 He thought they were joking like for four years and 0:16:13.017 --> 0:16:15.097 then he realized, oh they're not joking, like they're doing 0:16:15.137 --> 0:16:16.497 things I would never imagine doing it. 0:16:16.697 --> 0:16:19.617 Yeah, I and I believe that the and there have 0:16:19.657 --> 0:16:21.577 been some who have said this. I think like Jesse 0:16:21.657 --> 0:16:23.697 Kelly's pointed this out. I think it's I think it's 0:16:23.697 --> 0:16:27.537 absolutely true. They got the Trump that they made right. 0:16:27.577 --> 0:16:30.657 I mean, this is it's you know, it's like they 0:16:30.697 --> 0:16:33.337 decided that he was going to have to go into 0:16:34.177 --> 0:16:36.657 you know, like the member of Cone and the Barbarian 0:16:36.697 --> 0:16:38.137 in the beginning, and they put him in like the 0:16:38.137 --> 0:16:40.737 fighting camp and he has to defeat everybody to stay alive. 0:16:41.257 --> 0:16:41.937 It's like that. 0:16:42.057 --> 0:16:44.217 You know, they threw Trump into the Kuma day and 0:16:44.217 --> 0:16:47.177 now he comes out and he's a badass. 0:16:47.297 --> 0:16:48.537 And do you know it's even funnier. And I know 0:16:48.577 --> 0:16:50.817 some people are gonna ge upset at this. Trump's ego 0:16:50.897 --> 0:16:52.457 is so big, and that's fine. I don't blame it. 0:16:52.857 --> 0:16:54.777 If they had just kissed his ass a little bit 0:16:55.217 --> 0:16:56.777 instead of saying he's the worst thing to happened in 0:16:56.777 --> 0:16:58.817 America and he's literally hitler, he would have bet the 0:16:58.857 --> 0:17:01.217 kne in a lot of stuff. That's how Facci happened. 0:17:01.617 --> 0:17:04.657 So if they had just played it a little treated 0:17:04.697 --> 0:17:07.657 him a bit romney, just like we crap on you, 0:17:07.937 --> 0:17:09.057 but we're not going to try to go off to 0:17:09.097 --> 0:17:11.897 your family and take away tower, it would not be 0:17:11.977 --> 0:17:14.697 this right. This is their fault. 0:17:15.017 --> 0:17:17.817 Yeah, they they created this. I mean, you know, they 0:17:17.857 --> 0:17:20.617 would say monster, I would say a hero narrative. But 0:17:20.737 --> 0:17:22.577 it is entirely their doing. I want to I have 0:17:22.617 --> 0:17:24.857 a question for you, but after pause, we'll come back 0:17:24.897 --> 0:17:28.497 to which is who is or will be the leader. 0:17:28.297 --> 0:17:29.217 Of the Democrat Party. 0:17:29.657 --> 0:17:31.737 Given that it's so so hold that for one second, 0:17:31.857 --> 0:17:34.097 our sponsor is Bear Creek Arsenal.
