Here's 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: our toll free telephone number if you want to be 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: a part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety 6 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: four one sean if you want to join us. I've 7 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 2: been arguing that the left liberals they have never regained 8 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: their footing after Donald Trump's beat down of them in 9 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four election. In large part there's not 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: been any introspection. There's been noose course correction. You know, 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: in my life, if things go wrong, I usually try 12 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: to stop, stand back and say, okay, what did I 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: do wrong? What can I do to improve my life? 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: How can I change? How can I be a better person. 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: That's not happened in terms of the Democratic Party, and 16 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: it's very interesting to watch the evolution, for example, of 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, you know, from day one when 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: Donald Trump was elected, he made the decision he wanted 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: a legal fund so he could fight the Trump administration. 20 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: Then he seemed to moderate, he became a podcaster, and 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: then he's interviewing conservatives so they could we can now 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: begin to have a dialogue as a country interviewing the 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: likes of Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. And then, of 24 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 2: course in the Charlie Kirk interview, you know, he got 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: caught saying, I don't know where this word LATINX came from. 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: And he you know, we found instance after instance where 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: he was using the term LATINX and the same with 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: gender affirming care issues and men playing women's sports. But 29 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: that's not Gavin's biggest problem. 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Uh. 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: And now he's now, he's getting very aggressive. Now he's 32 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: talking about punching people in the face. And I'm willing 33 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: to take the hit rather than go after some probably 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: overweight politician that doesn't know how to defend themselves in 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: Texas because he doesn't like what they're doing legally in 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: Texas with redistricting. Meanwhile, every Blue state has been Jerry 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: Manner to death. I'm offering to let him take a 38 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: swing at me if he wants, just just because I 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: care about other people. I know how to defend myself. 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: These guys probably don't know how to defend themselves. So 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: I'm wedding Gavin. I'm offering to be let Gavin take 42 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: the punch at me. Listen, the Republican parties. It doesn't 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: even reflect itself. I mean, look at these Republicans cowering 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: to this guy. Look at your Republican governor, used to 45 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: claim to be a conservative. 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: What a farce. 47 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: Nothing conservative about this, by definition, nothing conservative about that. 48 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 3: This is radical. 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: Rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging of an election, destroying, 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: vandalizing this democracy, the. 51 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: Rule of law. 52 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 4: So I'm sorry. I know some people's sensibilities. I respect 53 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 4: and appreciate that, but right now, with all due respect, 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: we're walking down a damn different path. We're fighting fire 55 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: with fire and with a punch these sons in the mouth. 56 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure this is all going over very very well 57 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 2: with moderates and independence. And I'm sure when he makes 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: has run for the presidency, I'm sure America is going 59 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: to choose to become California, even though it's the state 60 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: with the number one mass migration, the highest poverty rate 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: in the nation, the highest gas taxes in the nation, 62 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: the highest state income taxes in the nation, the most 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 2: regulation in the nation, record homelessness in the nation, and 64 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: the list goes on and on, and I'll get into 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: more specificity as we go on to this half hour. 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: But first we welcome back to the program, friend of 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: the program, editor in chief of the new interactive video 68 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: platform it's called Two Way, host of the Next Up podcast. 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: He's on Megan Kelly's network. Our friend met Mark Kalper 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: and his back with us. How are you good to 71 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: have you back? 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Sean, good to talk to you now. 73 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: I brought you on because I saw your comments that 74 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: you opened up with a monologue on your show on 75 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: why Gavin Newsom is misunderstood and what sets him apart 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty eight, and you said you challenge people 77 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: to be repaired, to put aside their preconceived notions of 78 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: who this man is and what he is about. And 79 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: you've talked about then former Senator Mark Pryor, who joined 80 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: you on the on the Democrats structural challenges, et cetera, 81 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 2: et cetera. Look, I don't doubt that he could be 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: the nominee in twenty twenty eight at all. I don't 83 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: doubt that one bit. And I think that he's made 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: a political calculation that trying to be a moderate and 85 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: trying to get along with conservatives and have a conversation 86 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: and understand them is not something he's willing. 87 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: To have Well, look, I appreciate your listening to what 88 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I said in a nuanced way, because a lot of 89 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: people are misunderstanding. I'm not saying Gab Newsen is going 90 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: to be president. I'm not a fan of gabnews and 91 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: that's not my job. But this is a very weak field, 92 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: and Sean, you know because you've spent time with him, 93 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: this guy has some talent. Is he a hugely successful gouverner. 94 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: You could talk for three hours about why he's not. 95 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: The point is it's a weak field, and this guy 96 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: can haines multitudes. He's a complicated person. He has some 97 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: positions that are liberal, some that are super liberal, but 98 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: he's also got some ones that are more moderate in 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: the context of the Democratic Party. So when people want 100 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: to say he's a disaster, he's so liberal, he's so failed. 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: He can't possibly win the presidency. I'm not talking about 102 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: the general election. Can he be the Democratic nominee in 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: a weak field? He can't. My grandfather, my great great grandfather, 104 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: back in the Old Country, was like five foot ten 105 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe. He was the tallest man in the village, 106 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Sean at five to ten. Because the best of the 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: people in the village were five eight and below. This 108 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: guy is a major, major at the political figure in 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: his party. And if you look at the other people running, 110 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: they don't have anything like his experience. So all I'm 111 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: telling people on the right is, if you want to 112 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: think about who the Democrats are going to nominate, this 113 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: is the guy to focus on today. Now, ironically, I'm 114 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: the only one I know he doesn't think he'll run 115 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,119 Speaker 1: in the end. I think he'll approach the finished starting 116 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: line and then bail out. Right now, he's in a 117 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: class by himself because he's done. He's done what he's done, 118 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: what Barack Obama did, Bill Clinton did, George Bush did, 119 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump did. He's simultaneously doing some things on 120 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: the base side and some things in the center. And 121 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: for people to say that new. 122 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: Something, what is he doing on the center, I'd take 123 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: issue with that. I mean, he tried for a brief 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: period to be a little bit in the center. I 125 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: don't see any center policies of Gavin Newsom. 126 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you what they are. 127 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: And again I'll say they're in the center in the 128 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: context of the Democratic Party, are they Are they in 129 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: the Center. 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: For the Republicle you're talking about a radical left party 131 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: now that's about to elect a Marxist in New York 132 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 2: City as mayor. 133 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: But John, that's the state of the Democratic Party. Someone 134 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: who says what he says to Charlie Kirk, someone who, 135 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: as Faz is dealing with the homeless in a more 136 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: aggressive way than the party. Someone who will talk to 137 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. These are in the context of the. 138 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: No somebody who would have tried to talk to Charlie 139 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: Kirk it didn't work with his polling, and then shifted 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: gears and like a chameleon politician, you know, decided to 141 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: go this aggressive route, talking about punching people in the 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: mouth and fighting fire with fire when his state is 143 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: one of the most Jerry manderd in the country. 144 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: I agree, and that's what he's doing. And look the 145 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: whole Democratic Party of crime crocodile tears over Texas when 146 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: they then have to accept the Illinois and Massachusetts and 147 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Maryland and all these blue states have done it. I'm 148 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: not again, I'm not here as a spokesman for Gavin News. 149 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you he in his and if you 150 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: look at it. 151 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: By the way, We're totally getting that message. You've given 152 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: enough caveats. I get it. You've just given political analysis, 153 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: which is what you're great at. 154 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: I want your political analysis. 155 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: So what I'm telling you is to be the nominee 156 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: in this day and age, you have to be an 157 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: aircraft carrier. You have to be able to hire great people, 158 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: raise tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. You 159 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: have to have to go on on toe to toe 160 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: with Sean Hannity. And right now there's no other aircraft 161 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: carrier in this field, in this forming field. So if 162 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: Republicans just want to denounce anyone who says Gavin Newsom 163 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: is the front runner, so free. But you're making a 164 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: mistake because today you would be the nominee with all 165 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: the variables out there, what states are going to vote first, 166 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: and who else is going to run? No one else. 167 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: These other people who are talking about Basher Shapiro, Wes Moore, 168 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: they are not in this guy's league in terms of 169 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: what you look at to say who's an aircraft carrier. 170 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: And that's not to say he's been a great governor. 171 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: It's not to say he's not super liberal on some issues, 172 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: but this is the Democratic nomination we're talking about. 173 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 2: Right, quick break, Welcome back More with Mark Alpern.

Okay, 181 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: if we're only talking about the Democratic nomination, I can 182 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 2: completely and totally utterly agree with you. And but it's 183 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: you know, often people in a primary, you know this 184 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: from you many many decades of following politics, they will 185 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: they will run hard to the left or to the right, 186 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: and then they'll move to the center in a general election. 187 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: Gavin's got a big problem. 188 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: He's got a Michael Ducacas problem, and that is, you know, 189 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: do you want America to be Massachusetts? Do you want 190 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: America to be California? And you know I said this 191 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: last night, and I'm going to stop and I'm going 192 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: to backtrack and just tell you. 193 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: I know, Gavin. 194 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: I even texted him last night during my show and 195 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: I said, please don't stop doing what you're doing It's 196 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: like it's manna from heaven for me to get this 197 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 2: material from him every single day of him ranting like 198 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: a lunatic, and he's going for the hard left and 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: he's passionate. If you meet him in real life, he's charming, 200 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: he is slick, he is nice. He did have courage. 201 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: He did the debate. No first, he did an interview 202 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: with me one on one, and then he did the 203 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: debate that I had with him in Ron De Santis. 204 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: Correct. 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 3: He has since pulled back. 206 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: For me. 207 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: I tried to reach out to him. 208 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 2: I said once he came out when Donald Trump was reelected, 209 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: and I said, instead of you know, funding you know, 210 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: a legal strategy against Donald Trump to Trump proof your state, 211 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: I said, why don't you go sit down with him 212 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: all arrange the meeting. I actually offered to do that. 213 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: I don't mind making that part of public. And you know, 214 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: he just dismissed my suggestion. And that's fine too, but 215 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: I think it would have been a lot better off 216 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: for him and the people of California. With all that said, 217 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: after the Pacific Palisades, he you know, Donald Trump stepped 218 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 2: up and he's helping, but they're still not giving permits 219 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: for people to build homes out there. 220 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Yeah, and that's his problem. 221 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: I mean, his record is so bad when America becomes 222 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: aware of it, I'm just telling you there's no way 223 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: this guy could get elected in my opinion as of today. 224 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: And Sean and you mean you mean when the presidency 225 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: and again I share your view and that skepticism, and 226 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: that's in part why I don't think he'll run. There 227 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: are other reasons. We had a guy on two Way 228 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: last night, a dad, two young kids now lives in Oregon, 229 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: left the Bay Area, had to say he couldn't afford 230 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: to They couldn't afford to live there, couldn't deal with 231 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: all the negative impacts that he largely attributes to Gavin Newsom. 232 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: If Gavin Newsom does run, and again I don't think 233 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: you will, there are going to be people who run 234 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: against him from the left who will find thousands of 235 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: Californians who say, Gavin Newsom sailed us and we're on 236 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: the left. And you'll also find thousands and tens of thousands, 237 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: millions maybe on the right. If he's the nominee, who 238 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: will be in the Republican ad makers will not know 239 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: who to cast in the ads because they will have 240 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: sympathetic real Californians, many of whom have left the state, 241 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: who will say, if you will, if America thinks getting 242 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: a deal with Gavin Newsom and getting California, you're wrong. 243 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: I believe in the end that'll be part of why 244 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't run. But right now, the Democratic Party value 245 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: is one thing above all else. Are you there round 246 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: the clock punching Donald Trump in the face metaphorically and 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: he's doing it. That's what the party wants. 248 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: He's doing it now. 249 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: This is the latest iteration, this is the latest evolution 250 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: of him and him and the social media team. I 251 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: think for him, knowing him, it's inauthentic, and I find 252 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: it embarrassing. I'm kind of embarrassed for him. I think 253 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: he's looking stupid. But he can't run away from something. 254 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: He's very sensitive. But if Trump calls him nuskam, he 255 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: hates it. He's very sensitive. If you point out his 256 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: failures surrounding the Pacific Palisades wildfires and they had hydrants 257 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: that had no water in them in an empty reservoir, 258 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: you know, he's very, very sensitive on issues about being 259 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: the highest taxed state, in the country and they still 260 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: have a massive budget deb He's very sensitive about all 261 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: the illegal immigrants that I've committed crimes. Although they don't 262 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: keep statistics out there, he's very sensitive, you know, about 263 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: the highest poverty rate, homelessness rate, highest gas taxes, income taxes. 264 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: It's to me that's why he won't run. I think 265 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: in the end, I think you're right, he's going to 266 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: get right up to that line and then probably not. 267 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: I can see the announcement, you know, at the last minute. 268 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and his family is a big consideration as well, 269 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: and the scrutiny he'd get. This guy has gotten. People 270 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: always say Alway's been Governor Califournie, He's been scrutinized. He 271 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: has not. There's tons of scrutiny that will come his 272 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: way or anyone else who runs, and I don't think 273 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: he wants to deal with that, and his family deal 274 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: with that. But with the reason I've been talking about 275 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: this so much this week is because you can learn 276 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: a lot about where's the Democratic Party right now and 277 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: what does it mean to compete with Donald Trump for attention. 278 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: You can't deny that he's succeeded by that metric. Everybody's 279 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: about him, and they're not talking about well more, you know, 280 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: and that's that is something. You may say that he's 281 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: an authentic in how he's doing it. You may say successive, 282 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: or it's undignified, as our friend Dana Prino says, but 283 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: it is. It is achieving what two things that Democrats want, 284 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: they want, they want. 285 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: He's placating a very very small and dwindling base, and 286 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: he is not. He's not expanding the base that he 287 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: would need if he wanted to be a real if 288 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: he wanted to be a contender. He's not doing that. 289 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: We do appreciate your insight. Thank you, Mark Alprin. We 290 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: appreciate you as always. And I think you're right. I 291 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: think he is. He's the front runner for the nomination. 292 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: Eight hundred nine four one Seawan. If you want to 293 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: be a part of the program, all right, The Buckeye State, 294 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: Ohio Lisa Sean Hannity Show. 295 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 5: How are you hey, Sean, Sean, Sean, how you doing. 296 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 5: It's good to talk to you again. 297 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: It's good to talk to you again.

What an amazing man. He's really overcome 306 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 5: a lot of obstacles from his childhood he wrote to 307 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 5: become one of the most pre eminent sportscasters around, and 308 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 5: he just got a great perspective about people now. I 309 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: really appreciate and admire him now, so that we need 310 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: to keep trying to move him over to get him hannitized. 311 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: So I have a gift that I want to send 312 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: to you to give to stephen A.

If you don't have Fox Nation, 334 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: you may want to get you know, Fox Nation or 335 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: there actually is a new app that Fox has just 336 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: launched this week which I really strongly recommend that you 337 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: get a hold of because you can watch Fox twenty 338 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: four to seven. It doesn't matter where you are, any 339 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: place anywhere, and that includes Nation and it is you know, 340 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a great, great idea. It's called Fox 341 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: One and you can check it out and then you'll 342 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: have streaming twenty four to seven. It includes you know, 343 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: NFL football, it includes Fox News, it includes Fox Business. 344 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: I think it includes Fox Nation. But you know when 345 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: I did the interview with Stephen A. Smith, and you're right, 346 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: I read his book and his life story. I mean, 347 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: when he was in third grade, he was held back, 348 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: but he was able to make up the work in 349 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 2: the summertime, and he got promoted to fourth grade. In 350 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: fourth grade, he got held back again, and he was 351 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: really held back this time, which for any kid is very, 352 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: very difficult to go through. And then he heard his 353 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: father tell his mother basically that he was stupid and 354 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: to forget it, and that he'd never be anything in life. 355 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: At that time, we didn't really understand something called dyslexia. 356 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: He happens to be a genius. He's very, very smart. 357 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: What I admire the most about him is when when 358 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 2: he tries to go at me, either on a text 359 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: or in an interview or a discussion we're having, I'll say, 360 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: do you know about this? Do you know about this? 361 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: Do you know about this? And he will do the 362 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: research or he'll ask me to explain it to him, 363 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: and he has an open mind. But the fact that 364 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: he overcame all of that was pretty amazing. By the way, 365 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: it was the only time in his childhood that his 366 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: mother ever took him to a movie because his mom 367 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 2: knew that he had overheard the conversation with his dad. 368 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: You know, I've had some amazing interviews on the podcast 369 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 2: on Fox Nation. Sylvester Stallone, for example, got the crap 370 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: beat out of him by his parents, and you know, 371 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: basically both of his parents were pretty abusive to him. 372 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: You know Jillian Michael's at one point, he's kind of tiny. 373 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 2: She's like five foot two, at one point in her life, 374 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: was like one hundred and seventy pounds. He tells that 375 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: whole story and how painful it is. Montell Williams tells 376 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: the whole story about when he was diagnosed with MS 377 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: and told he may never walk again. So I kind 378 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: of like, you know, doing those kind of interviews. But 379 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: I'm we're gonna put you on hold and we'll try 380 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 2: and get him that hat. I think it's very nice 381 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: of you to do that. Pam is in Florida, my 382 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: free state. What's up, Pam? How are you glad you called? 383 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 6: I am well, Sean, I am really well. It's good 384 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 6: to talk to you, first time caller. I love your information. 385 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 6: I love what you talk about. It's so good and informative. 386 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 6: I got lots of weeding done the last two days 387 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 6: and yard work, listening to your show and enjoying it. 388 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 6: But what you're talking. 389 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: About, by the way, isn't weeding like one of the 390 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: worst things in the world to do. 391 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 6: Oh it's satisfying, though, because it takes a lot longer 392 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 6: for them to come back than a dish to get dirty. 393 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: Oh you mean, I for three years of my life 394 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: at a plot of land, and I had my own garden, 395 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: and I used to have to weed that garden, which 396 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: was the most painful, arduous, difficult, annoying thing to do 397 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: because you get out there with the woe and you 398 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: have to get underneath so they don't pop back up again. 399 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: And I grew corn and back and. 400 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 6: Ye, man, kill them up and do all that nonsense, 401 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 6: and make sure you throw the weeds that will read 402 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 6: it all the way out of the garden or into 403 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 6: a bucket. So you got to know your weeds to 404 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 6: which weeds you can pull them, which weeds you can 405 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 6: leave where. And then yeah, that part is arduous, I 406 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 6: would say. 407 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: But you know what made me stop gardening, even though 408 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: it was very cool, because I love corn. I used 409 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 2: to love to grow my own corn, but cucumbers and 410 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: bell peppers and watermelons, and you know, we grew everything. 411 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: But here's the worst part of it is, after three 412 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: years of doing it and all the hard work, I 413 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 2: realized I passed by a farmer's market on the way 414 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: home from picking my corn, which I work so hard 415 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: to get, and you can get like a dozen corn 416 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: for a dollar or two dollars a dozen, And I'm like, 417 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: why am I working so hard when it's only two 418 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: bucks for a dozen? And I realized it was cheaper 419 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: to do it that way. 420 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't know Jersey was the farm state for 421 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 6: a reason that it really is. It's a garden state. 422 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 6: Excuse me, Yeah, yeah, I agree. 423 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: And yeah, well I didn't grow up in a jury. 424 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: I grew up and this was actually at a point 425 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: when I lived in Rhode Island in my life. But anyway, 426 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: what's on your mind? 427 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 6: Okay, Well, you've been talking about DC and how people 428 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 6: aren't given Trump affair shake, our levels, our president a 429 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 6: great guy, a fair shake and things. But you pointed 430 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 6: out too that it's all the white people that don't 431 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 6: have the problems, but the people that are in the 432 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 6: lower income neighborhoods and in the parks where the kids 433 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 6: can't go out and play. You know, it's just not 434 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 6: fair to them to be able to not enjoy their 435 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 6: life the way the people that are protesting enjoy their life. 436 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 6: And I used to do a lot of traveling. I 437 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 6: used to do a lot of traveling. I went into 438 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 6: New York City probably from nineteen seventy eight ninety eight 439 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 6: ninety nine, and once a year I would go to 440 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 6: New York City because I had some specialty shop that 441 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 6: I needed to do. And you could see the difference 442 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 6: in that city because it was filthy, and then it 443 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 6: would get a little better. But I still loved it. 444 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 6: The smells were there, the homeless you could deal with 445 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 6: because there weren't so many, and you could. You could 446 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 6: walk down to a little little leier down just down 447 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 6: the Red to Chinatown. You could go to Washington Square 448 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 6: for a free show. You can't do that anymore. It 449 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 6: used to be the big Apple. You could go to 450 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 6: New York. You could be anybody and you could make it. 451 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 6: Now it's the rotten apple I've had. 452 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: When I grew up, New York was an Adam Schiff Hall. 453 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: I mean, if you went to forty second Street, back 454 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: in the day you were confronted by nothing but drug dealers. 455 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: And I mean they had, you know, triple X rated 456 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: movie theaters and you know, peep shops and strippers and hookers. 457 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: I mean I remember going in there, you know, when 458 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: I was in my teens, and you know, it might 459 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: have been fun for me and my friends, you know, 460 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: just to get in the middle of quote the action, 461 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: but it was probably pretty dangerous. We shouldn't have been there. 462 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: But long story short, the person that cleaned it up 463 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: was Rudy Giuliani. Can it be cleaned up again? Absolutely 464 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: if mom Donnie wins, Is it going to get cleaned up? 465 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. It's going to become worse. And it's I've 466 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: ever been and it's bad now, it's very bad. 467 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 6: Well what was that about the gifts? Anyway, I got 468 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 6: back from Australia and I happen to be traveling the 469 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 6: subway because we would do that too. I fired up 470 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 6: a cigarette. I got so many dirty looks and I'd 471 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 6: realized the city had cleaned up, but I hadn't noticed 472 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 6: that there was no smoking on the subway anymore. That place. 473 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 6: I'm not saying you could eat off the floor, but 474 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 6: it was so nice. Every other time I'd come to 475 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 6: New York City, I'd either see a murder or hear gunfire. 476 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 6: And you would have to pay me a lot of 477 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 6: money to go to New York City now, and then 478 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 6: I would be packing in spite of stuff. 479 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 3: The best part of your story is I lit up 480 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 3: a cigarette. 481 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 2: I got dirty looks, but nobody dared speak up and 482 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: say put that cigarette out. That is a typical New 483 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 2: York City subway ride. Nobody looks at each other or 484 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: talks to each other. I mean, because they're all afraid. 485 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 2: Do you never know what you're dealing with. 486 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 6: No, but back then they did. They gave me dirty looks, 487 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 6: and I loudly said, excuse me, everybody, I'm sorry. I 488 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 6: didn't allized. There wasn't any smoking on the subway anymore. 489 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 6: I used to travel with a circus, so when you traveled, 490 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 6: you weren't a tourist. You were working there. You were 491 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 6: part of the working people, and you got a totally 492 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 6: different view of what the. 493 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: City were you with Wringling Brothers, Ringling is. 494 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 6: Pretty much it's a big show. But they use all 495 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 6: communists block acts because the Communists trained their children just 496 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 6: like the Chinese metal lady in Australia that from the 497 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 6: time she was four years old she was taught how 498 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 6: to be a contortionist. And she said, they came into 499 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 6: the nursery school and they did all these tests and 500 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 6: they told you, which, Oh it's pretty cool. 501 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you can get a really good 502 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: life experience, Pam. I could talk to you all day, 503 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 2: I've got to run. I got to get to another call. 504 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: Appreciate you being one of us. God bless you. Congratulations 505 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 2: on your gardening, and I hope you share some some 506 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: of those ears of corn with us. We appreciate it. 507 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to Rod in Kansas. Rod, how 508 00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: are you glad you called? 509 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 7: I'm good, Sean. What an honor to speak to you. 510 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 7: I really appreciate all you do to thank you. To 511 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 7: my point, so here's my deal. 512 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: Question. 513 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 7: Issue is putin Russia. Why are we not putting sanctions 514 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 7: on him now? After he blew up that commerce factory there? 515 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: Oh we are, we are big time. Okay, I mean 516 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump did it before the meeting in Alaska. It 517 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 2: was only a week ago. Yeah, but Donald Trump is 518 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: putting on sanctions in this way. Number one, the European 519 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 2: Union and his trade deal are committing nearly a trillion 520 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: and energy purchases that would have gone to Putin. Now 521 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 2: they're going to buy their energy from US number one 522 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 2: fifty percent tariff on India if they continue to buy 523 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 2: Russian oil. And Trump's about to unload on Putin big time. 524 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: His patience has run out. It's over now, it's going 525 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: to be. Okay, negotiation two point zero, which is to 526 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 2: break Russia financially. 527 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 7: Good because I just feel so disrespected and I feel 528 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 7: like they're disrespecting him in the United States by just 529 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 7: not putting the hammer down on this deal. And you know, 530 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 7: it's a sad. 531 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: Well, we'll give Trump credit. I mean, he gave the 532 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: Iranians fifty days. He was patient, He gave them time 533 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: to negotiate a settlement. They wouldn't do it now, they 534 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 2: don't have any nuclear program. They could have done it 535 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 2: peacefully and with Russia. Okay, it'll take a little bit longer. 536 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: But the sanctions bill as eighty five co sponsors in 537 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: the US Senate, and those sanctions that you know, it'll 538 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 2: cut off the funding for a Putin's war machine, and 539 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: then we'll fund Ukraine and let them buy our sophisticated weaponry, 540 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: and now Putin's life just became even more miserable. 541 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 7: No, I hope so Sean, and I just hope there's accountability. 542 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 7: I love John Solomon. All of that reporting is awesome, 543 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 7: over the top. 544 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: So thank you, buddy. Listen, you have a great weekend. 545 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: Daniel in Texas. God bless Texas, Daniel. We have the 546 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: last minute and a half and it's all yours. 547 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 548 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 8: I was just kind of curious about Bill Maher and 549 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 8: what he was saying in an article that you know, 550 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 8: most Republicans want to actually go on his show and 551 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 8: they're not afraid, and Democrats are running scared. 552 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: And I know that you know him. 553 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 8: I don't know if you've ever actually interviewed with him. 554 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: I was kind of curious if you're ever going to. 555 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 8: Like either team up with him and kind of get 556 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 8: like a lift and a right view and kind of 557 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 8: do something like that, or go on a show and 558 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 8: it's kind of something similar to what you do. 559 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: He's been on my show a number of times, not 560 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 2: any anytime recently. He has invited me on his show 561 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 2: many many times. But to do a show, I got 562 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: to fly out to la and flying out to La 563 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: eleven hours to do a one hour TV show is 564 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: not the best use of my time. I mean, I've 565 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: got a seven hundred and fifty plus radio stations here 566 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: and I've got a show on Fox, and with all 567 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: due respect to build, my ratings are much higher. And 568 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, why do I want to go there and 569 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,479 Speaker 2: get made fun of by a funny guy. He's a 570 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: good comedian. Now, if he really wanted to have a 571 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: good discussion and really you know, go deep in the 572 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: paint and just I'm I would consider doing it. I 573 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 2: think he's very smart, I think he is funny, But 574 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 2: you know, I'd have to know that he wanted a 575 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: serious conversation and not not waste my time. 576 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 8: That's kind of what I'm getting at, because it seems 577 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 8: like he's turned around, even though he won't say it, 578 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 8: like I actually praised him for like you know, he 579 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 8: went to the White House with Trump, he actually admitted 580 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 8: when he was wrong. 581 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 6: It's kind of like. 582 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 8: Changed a lot of his point of view. Now I 583 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 8: don't really I don't believe it. 584 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 3: He's not really changing his point of view. 585 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: He's a he's a pretty liberal Democrat, but he sees 586 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: that his party's gone radical left and it's not going 587 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: to work anyway. Appreciate the call, my friend. I'll take 588 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: it under advisement. Let's put it that way. 589 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 4: All right. 590 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: That's gonna wrap things up for today. I forgot to 591 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: tell you the CBO now says Trump's tariffs could reduce 592 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: the national debt by four trillion dollars, and that home 593 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: sales rose in July, defying expectations once again in US 594 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: manufacturing surge to a three year high. All right, we'll 595 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: get to some of that good news on Monday. Hope 596 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: you have a great weekend. We'll see you then. Thank 597 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: you for making this show possible.
