WEBVTT - Newsom Rhetoric - August 22nd, Hour 3

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Showing up next our final News round up and Information

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Overload Hour.

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, News round Up in Information Overload Hour. Here's

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 2>our toll free telephone number if you want to be

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a part of the program. It's eight hundred and ninety

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>four one sean if you want to join us. I've

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 2>been arguing that the left liberals they have never regained

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 2>their footing after Donald Trump's beat down of them in

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty four election. In large part there's not

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 2>been any introspection. There's been noose course correction. You know,

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>in my life, if things go wrong, I usually try

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to stop, stand back and say, okay, what did I

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>do wrong? What can I do to improve my life?

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>How can I change? How can I be a better person.

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>That's not happened in terms of the Democratic Party, and

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it's very interesting to watch the evolution, for example, of

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, you know, from day one when

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump was elected, he made the decision he wanted

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a legal fund so he could fight the Trump administration.

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Then he seemed to moderate, he became a podcaster, and

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>then he's interviewing conservatives so they could we can now

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>begin to have a dialogue as a country interviewing the

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>likes of Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. And then, of

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 2>course in the Charlie Kirk interview, you know, he got

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 2>caught saying, I don't know where this word LATINX came from.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>And he you know, we found instance after instance where

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>he was using the term LATINX and the same with

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>gender affirming care issues and men playing women's sports. But

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that's not Gavin's biggest problem.

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>And now he's now, he's getting very aggressive. Now he's

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about punching people in the face. And I'm willing

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>to take the hit rather than go after some probably

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>overweight politician that doesn't know how to defend themselves in

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Texas because he doesn't like what they're doing legally in

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Texas with redistricting. Meanwhile, every Blue state has been Jerry

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Manner to death. I'm offering to let him take a

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>swing at me if he wants, just just because I

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>care about other people. I know how to defend myself.

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>These guys probably don't know how to defend themselves. So

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm wedding Gavin. I'm offering to be let Gavin take

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the punch at me. Listen, the Republican parties. It doesn't

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>even reflect itself. I mean, look at these Republicans cowering

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>to this guy. Look at your Republican governor, used to

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>claim to be a conservative.

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 3>What a farce.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Nothing conservative about this, by definition, nothing conservative about that.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 3>This is radical.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging of an election, destroying,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 4>vandalizing this democracy, the.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Rule of law.

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 4>So I'm sorry. I know some people's sensibilities. I respect

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 4>and appreciate that, but right now, with all due respect,

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 4>we're walking down a damn different path. We're fighting fire

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>with fire and with a punch these sons in the mouth.

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure this is all going over very very well

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 2>with moderates and independence. And I'm sure when he makes

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>has run for the presidency, I'm sure America is going

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to choose to become California, even though it's the state

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 2>with the number one mass migration, the highest poverty rate

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>in the nation, the highest gas taxes in the nation,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the highest state income taxes in the nation, the most

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 2>regulation in the nation, record homelessness in the nation, and

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the list goes on and on, and I'll get into

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>more specificity as we go on to this half hour.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>But first we welcome back to the program, friend of

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the program, editor in chief of the new interactive video

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>platform it's called Two Way, host of the Next Up podcast.

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>He's on Megan Kelly's network. Our friend met Mark Kalper

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and his back with us. How are you good to

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>have you back?

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Sean, good to talk to you now.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I brought you on because I saw your comments that

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you opened up with a monologue on your show on

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>why Gavin Newsom is misunderstood and what sets him apart

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>for twenty twenty eight, and you said you challenge people

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to be repaired, to put aside their preconceived notions of

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>who this man is and what he is about. And

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you've talked about then former Senator Mark Pryor, who joined

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>you on the on the Democrats structural challenges, et cetera,

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. Look, I don't doubt that he could be

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the nominee in twenty twenty eight at all. I don't

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>doubt that one bit. And I think that he's made

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>a political calculation that trying to be a moderate and

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 2>trying to get along with conservatives and have a conversation

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and understand them is not something he's willing.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 1>To have Well, look, I appreciate your listening to what

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I said in a nuanced way, because a lot of

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>people are misunderstanding. I'm not saying Gab Newsen is going

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to be president. I'm not a fan of gabnews and

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that's not my job. But this is a very weak field,

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>and Sean, you know because you've spent time with him,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy has some talent. Is he a hugely successful gouverner.

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You could talk for three hours about why he's not.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The point is it's a weak field, and this guy

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 1>can haines multitudes. He's a complicated person. He has some

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>positions that are liberal, some that are super liberal, but

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>he's also got some ones that are more moderate in

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the context of the Democratic Party. So when people want

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to say he's a disaster, he's so liberal, he's so failed.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>He can't possibly win the presidency. I'm not talking about

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the general election. Can he be the Democratic nominee in

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a weak field? He can't. My grandfather, my great great grandfather,

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>back in the Old Country, was like five foot ten

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 1>in Eastern Europe. He was the tallest man in the village,

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Sean at five to ten. Because the best of the

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>people in the village were five eight and below. This

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>guy is a major, major at the political figure in

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>his party. And if you look at the other people running,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't have anything like his experience. So all I'm

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>telling people on the right is, if you want to

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>think about who the Democrats are going to nominate, this

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is the guy to focus on today. Now, ironically, I'm

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the only one I know he doesn't think he'll run

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.119
<v Speaker 1>in the end. I think he'll approach the finished starting

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>line and then bail out. Right now, he's in a

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>class by himself because he's done. He's done what he's done,

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what Barack Obama did, Bill Clinton did, George Bush did,

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump did. He's simultaneously doing some things on

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the base side and some things in the center. And

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.719
<v Speaker 1>for people to say that new.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Something, what is he doing on the center, I'd take

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>issue with that. I mean, he tried for a brief

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 2>period to be a little bit in the center. I

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 2>don't see any center policies of Gavin Newsom.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you what they are.

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>And again I'll say they're in the center in the

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>context of the Democratic Party, are they Are they in

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the Center.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>For the Republicle you're talking about a radical left party

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>now that's about to elect a Marxist in New York

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:43.239
<v Speaker 2>City as mayor.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But John, that's the state of the Democratic Party. Someone

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>who says what he says to Charlie Kirk, someone who,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>as Faz is dealing with the homeless in a more

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>aggressive way than the party. Someone who will talk to

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Kirk. These are in the context of the.

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 2>No somebody who would have tried to talk to Charlie

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Kirk it didn't work with his polling, and then shifted

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>gears and like a chameleon politician, you know, decided to

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 2>go this aggressive route, talking about punching people in the

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>mouth and fighting fire with fire when his state is

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>one of the most Jerry manderd in the country.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I agree, and that's what he's doing. And look the

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>whole Democratic Party of crime crocodile tears over Texas when

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they then have to accept the Illinois and Massachusetts and

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Maryland and all these blue states have done it. I'm

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>not again, I'm not here as a spokesman for Gavin News.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you he in his and if you

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>look at it.

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>By the way, We're totally getting that message. You've given

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>enough caveats. I get it. You've just given political analysis,

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>which is what you're great at.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 3>I want your political analysis.

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm telling you is to be the nominee

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in this day and age, you have to be an

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>aircraft carrier. You have to be able to hire great people,

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>raise tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. You

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>have to have to go on on toe to toe

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>with Sean Hannity. And right now there's no other aircraft

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>carrier in this field, in this forming field. So if

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Republicans just want to denounce anyone who says Gavin Newsom

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>is the front runner, so free. But you're making a

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>mistake because today you would be the nominee with all

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the variables out there, what states are going to vote first,

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and who else is going to run? No one else.

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>These other people who are talking about Basher Shapiro, Wes Moore,

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>they are not in this guy's league in terms of

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>what you look at to say who's an aircraft carrier.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's not to say he's been a great governor.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not to say he's not super liberal on some issues,

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.599
<v Speaker 1>but this is the Democratic nomination we're talking about.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, quick break, Welcome back More with Mark Alpern. He's

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>the editor in chief of the new interactive video platform

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 2>called two Way and host of the next podcast More

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 2>with Mark. On the other side, we'll get to your

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>calls coming up as well as Friday.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 3>I would continue our.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Friend Mark Alpern is with us, editor in chief interactive

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 2>video platform two Way, host of the next up podcast. Okay,

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 2>if we're only talking about the Democratic nomination, I can

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>completely and totally utterly agree with you. And but it's

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, often people in a primary, you know this

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>from you many many decades of following politics, they will

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>they will run hard to the left or to the right,

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>and then they'll move to the center in a general election.

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Gavin's got a big problem.

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>He's got a Michael Ducacas problem, and that is, you know,

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>do you want America to be Massachusetts? Do you want

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>America to be California? And you know I said this

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>last night, and I'm going to stop and I'm going

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to backtrack and just tell you.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I know, Gavin.

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I even texted him last night during my show and

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I said, please don't stop doing what you're doing It's

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>like it's manna from heaven for me to get this

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>material from him every single day of him ranting like

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a lunatic, and he's going for the hard left and

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 2>he's passionate. If you meet him in real life, he's charming,

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 2>he is slick, he is nice. He did have courage.

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>He did the debate. No first, he did an interview

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 2>with me one on one, and then he did the

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 2>debate that I had with him in Ron De Santis.

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Correct.

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 3>He has since pulled back.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>For me.

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I tried to reach out to him.

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 2>I said once he came out when Donald Trump was reelected,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 2>and I said, instead of you know, funding you know,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 2>a legal strategy against Donald Trump to Trump proof your state,

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I said, why don't you go sit down with him

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>all arrange the meeting. I actually offered to do that.

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind making that part of public. And you know,

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 2>he just dismissed my suggestion. And that's fine too, but

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it would have been a lot better off

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 2>for him and the people of California. With all that said,

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 2>after the Pacific Palisades, he you know, Donald Trump stepped

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 2>up and he's helping, but they're still not giving permits

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>for people to build homes out there.

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 3>It's unbelievable. Yeah, and that's his problem.

0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, his record is so bad when America becomes

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 2>aware of it, I'm just telling you there's no way

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 2>this guy could get elected in my opinion as of today.

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And Sean and you mean you mean when the presidency

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and again I share your view and that skepticism, and

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that's in part why I don't think he'll run. There

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>are other reasons. We had a guy on two Way

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>last night, a dad, two young kids now lives in Oregon,

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>left the Bay Area, had to say he couldn't afford

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>to They couldn't afford to live there, couldn't deal with

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>all the negative impacts that he largely attributes to Gavin Newsom.

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>If Gavin Newsom does run, and again I don't think

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you will, there are going to be people who run

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>against him from the left who will find thousands of

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Californians who say, Gavin Newsom sailed us and we're on

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the left. And you'll also find thousands and tens of thousands,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>millions maybe on the right. If he's the nominee, who

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>will be in the Republican ad makers will not know

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>who to cast in the ads because they will have

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic real Californians, many of whom have left the state,

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>who will say, if you will, if America thinks getting

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>a deal with Gavin Newsom and getting California, you're wrong.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe in the end that'll be part of why

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't run. But right now, the Democratic Party value

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>is one thing above all else. Are you there round

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the clock punching Donald Trump in the face metaphorically and

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he's doing it. That's what the party wants.

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 3>He's doing it now.

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 2>This is the latest iteration, this is the latest evolution

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of him and him and the social media team. I

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>think for him, knowing him, it's inauthentic, and I find

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 2>it embarrassing. I'm kind of embarrassed for him. I think

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 2>he's looking stupid. But he can't run away from something.

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>He's very sensitive. But if Trump calls him nuskam, he

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 2>hates it. He's very sensitive. If you point out his

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 2>failures surrounding the Pacific Palisades wildfires and they had hydrants

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>that had no water in them in an empty reservoir,

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's very, very sensitive on issues about being

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the highest taxed state, in the country and they still

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 2>have a massive budget deb He's very sensitive about all

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the illegal immigrants that I've committed crimes. Although they don't

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>keep statistics out there, he's very sensitive, you know, about

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the highest poverty rate, homelessness rate, highest gas taxes, income taxes.

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 2>It's to me that's why he won't run. I think

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 2>in the end, I think you're right, he's going to

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>get right up to that line and then probably not.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I can see the announcement, you know, at the last minute.

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and his family is a big consideration as well,

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and the scrutiny he'd get. This guy has gotten. People

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>always say Alway's been Governor Califournie, He's been scrutinized. He

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>has not. There's tons of scrutiny that will come his

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>way or anyone else who runs, and I don't think

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 1>he wants to deal with that, and his family deal

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>with that. But with the reason I've been talking about

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>this so much this week is because you can learn

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot about where's the Democratic Party right now and

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>what does it mean to compete with Donald Trump for attention.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't deny that he's succeeded by that metric. Everybody's

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>about him, and they're not talking about well more, you know,

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's that is something. You may say that he's

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>an authentic in how he's doing it. You may say successive,

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>or it's undignified, as our friend Dana Prino says, but

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it is. It is achieving what two things that Democrats want,

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>they want, they want.

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>He's placating a very very small and dwindling base, and

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>he is not. He's not expanding the base that he

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 2>would need if he wanted to be a real if

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to be a contender. He's not doing that.

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 2>We do appreciate your insight. Thank you, Mark Alprin. We

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you as always. And I think you're right. I

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>think he is. He's the front runner for the nomination.

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Eight hundred nine four one Seawan. If you want to

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 2>be a part of the program, all right, The Buckeye State,

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Ohio Lisa Sean Hannity Show.

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 5>How are you hey, Sean, Sean, Sean, how you doing.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 5>It's good to talk to you again.

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 3>It's good to talk to you again. How are you?

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>When's the last time you.

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh it's been several years, but it's good to hear

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 5>your voice. On the phone, but I was calling about

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 5>our friend stephen A.

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, ma'am, I love steven A. I will never say

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>a bad word about steven A.

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, I used to not like him until I

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 5>read his book. What an amazing man. He's really overcome

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 5>a lot of obstacles from his childhood he wrote to

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 5>become one of the most pre eminent sportscasters around, and

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 5>he just got a great perspective about people now. I

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 5>really appreciate and admire him now, so that we need

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 5>to keep trying to move him over to get him hannitized.

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 5>So I have a gift that I want to send

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 5>to you to give to stephen A. I had a

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 5>ball cap printed up that says stephen A two point

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 5>h So that needs to be given to him somehow.

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>It's so funny. I will give it to him. Linda

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>will figure out how to get it to me, and

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely will give it to him. He goes, I'll

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>never be hanitized, he said to me after being on

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>TV the other night. You know, it's funny the way

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the media covers our relationship. Like when I go on

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 2>his show, I dominate, I just take over. I'm a

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 2>guest and he's like, man, I can get a word

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 2>in edgewise on my own podcast. When he's on my show,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I tend to let him talk and let him shine

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 2>because he's got a lot to say, and he's my guest.

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 2>And almost every time the left wing legacy medium Stephen A.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Smith schools Sean Hannity, not schooling me, I'm giving him

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a chance to speak. Now, if I don't let a

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 2>guest speak on my show that I'm inundated with, you

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>need to shut up and let people talk.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I can't win for losing sometimes, but I will tell

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>you this about Steven A. If you don't have Fox Nation,

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>you may want to get you know, Fox Nation or

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 2>there actually is a new app that Fox has just

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>launched this week which I really strongly recommend that you

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>get a hold of because you can watch Fox twenty

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 2>four to seven. It doesn't matter where you are, any

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 2>place anywhere, and that includes Nation and it is you know,

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great, great idea. It's called Fox

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>One and you can check it out and then you'll

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 2>have streaming twenty four to seven. It includes you know,

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 2>NFL football, it includes Fox News, it includes Fox Business.

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it includes Fox Nation. But you know when

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I did the interview with Stephen A. Smith, and you're right,

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I read his book and his life story. I mean,

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>when he was in third grade, he was held back,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 2>but he was able to make up the work in

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.199
<v Speaker 2>the summertime, and he got promoted to fourth grade. In

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 2>fourth grade, he got held back again, and he was

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>really held back this time, which for any kid is very,

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>very difficult to go through. And then he heard his

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>father tell his mother basically that he was stupid and

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to forget it, and that he'd never be anything in life.

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>At that time, we didn't really understand something called dyslexia.

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>He happens to be a genius. He's very, very smart.

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 2>What I admire the most about him is when when

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 2>he tries to go at me, either on a text

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 2>or in an interview or a discussion we're having, I'll say,

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 2>do you know about this? Do you know about this?

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you know about this? And he will do the

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 2>research or he'll ask me to explain it to him,

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and he has an open mind. But the fact that

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>he overcame all of that was pretty amazing. By the way,

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it was the only time in his childhood that his

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 2>mother ever took him to a movie because his mom

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 2>knew that he had overheard the conversation with his dad.

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've had some amazing interviews on the podcast

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 2>on Fox Nation. Sylvester Stallone, for example, got the crap

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>beat out of him by his parents, and you know,

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 2>basically both of his parents were pretty abusive to him.

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 2>You know Jillian Michael's at one point, he's kind of tiny.

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>She's like five foot two, at one point in her life,

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 2>was like one hundred and seventy pounds. He tells that

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 2>whole story and how painful it is. Montell Williams tells

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>the whole story about when he was diagnosed with MS

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and told he may never walk again. So I kind

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of like, you know, doing those kind of interviews. But

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm we're gonna put you on hold and we'll try

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and get him that hat. I think it's very nice

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>of you to do that. Pam is in Florida, my

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>free state. What's up, Pam? How are you glad you called?

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 6>I am well, Sean, I am really well. It's good

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 6>to talk to you, first time caller. I love your information.

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 6>I love what you talk about. It's so good and informative.

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 6>I got lots of weeding done the last two days

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 6>and yard work, listening to your show and enjoying it.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 6>But what you're talking.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 2>About, by the way, isn't weeding like one of the

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.159
<v Speaker 2>worst things in the world to do.

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 6>Oh it's satisfying, though, because it takes a lot longer

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 6>for them to come back than a dish to get dirty.

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh you mean, I for three years of my life

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 2>at a plot of land, and I had my own garden,

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and I used to have to weed that garden, which

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 2>was the most painful, arduous, difficult, annoying thing to do

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>because you get out there with the woe and you

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>have to get underneath so they don't pop back up again.

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 3>And I grew corn and back and.

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 6>Ye, man, kill them up and do all that nonsense,

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 6>and make sure you throw the weeds that will read

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 6>it all the way out of the garden or into

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 6>a bucket. So you got to know your weeds to

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 6>which weeds you can pull them, which weeds you can

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 6>leave where. And then yeah, that part is arduous, I

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 6>would say.

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know what made me stop gardening, even though

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>it was very cool, because I love corn. I used

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to love to grow my own corn, but cucumbers and

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>bell peppers and watermelons, and you know, we grew everything.

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 2>But here's the worst part of it is, after three

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 2>years of doing it and all the hard work, I

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 2>realized I passed by a farmer's market on the way

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 2>home from picking my corn, which I work so hard

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 2>to get, and you can get like a dozen corn

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 2>for a dollar or two dollars a dozen, And I'm like,

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:45.440
<v Speaker 2>why am I working so hard when it's only two

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>bucks for a dozen? And I realized it was cheaper

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to do it that way.

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I didn't know Jersey was the farm state for

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 6>a reason that it really is. It's a garden state.

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 6>Excuse me, Yeah, yeah, I agree.

0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, well I didn't grow up in a jury.

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I grew up and this was actually at a point

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 2>when I lived in Rhode Island in my life. But anyway,

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind?

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Well, you've been talking about DC and how people

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 6>aren't given Trump affair shake, our levels, our president a

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 6>great guy, a fair shake and things. But you pointed

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 6>out too that it's all the white people that don't

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 6>have the problems, but the people that are in the

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 6>lower income neighborhoods and in the parks where the kids

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 6>can't go out and play. You know, it's just not

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 6>fair to them to be able to not enjoy their

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 6>life the way the people that are protesting enjoy their life.

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 6>And I used to do a lot of traveling. I

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 6>used to do a lot of traveling. I went into

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 6>New York City probably from nineteen seventy eight ninety eight

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 6>ninety nine, and once a year I would go to

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 6>New York City because I had some specialty shop that

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.640
<v Speaker 6>I needed to do. And you could see the difference

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 6>in that city because it was filthy, and then it

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 6>would get a little better. But I still loved it.

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 6>The smells were there, the homeless you could deal with

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 6>because there weren't so many, and you could. You could

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 6>walk down to a little little leier down just down

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 6>the Red to Chinatown. You could go to Washington Square

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 6>for a free show. You can't do that anymore. It

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 6>used to be the big Apple. You could go to

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 6>New York. You could be anybody and you could make it.

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 6>Now it's the rotten apple I've had.

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>When I grew up, New York was an Adam Schiff Hall.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you went to forty second Street, back

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>in the day you were confronted by nothing but drug dealers.

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 2>And I mean they had, you know, triple X rated

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 2>movie theaters and you know, peep shops and strippers and hookers.

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean I remember going in there, you know, when

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I was in my teens, and you know, it might

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>have been fun for me and my friends, you know,

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>just to get in the middle of quote the action,

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 2>but it was probably pretty dangerous. We shouldn't have been there.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 2>But long story short, the person that cleaned it up

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 2>was Rudy Giuliani. Can it be cleaned up again? Absolutely

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>if mom Donnie wins, Is it going to get cleaned up?

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not. It's going to become worse. And it's I've

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 2>ever been and it's bad now, it's very bad.

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 6>Well what was that about the gifts? Anyway, I got

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.919
<v Speaker 6>back from Australia and I happen to be traveling the

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.719
<v Speaker 6>subway because we would do that too. I fired up

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:14.480
<v Speaker 6>a cigarette. I got so many dirty looks and I'd

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 6>realized the city had cleaned up, but I hadn't noticed

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 6>that there was no smoking on the subway anymore. That place.

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm not saying you could eat off the floor, but

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 6>it was so nice. Every other time I'd come to

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 6>New York City, I'd either see a murder or hear gunfire.

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 6>And you would have to pay me a lot of

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 6>money to go to New York City now, and then

0:23:35.720 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 6>I would be packing in spite of stuff.

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 3>The best part of your story is I lit up

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:40.399
<v Speaker 3>a cigarette.

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I got dirty looks, but nobody dared speak up and

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 2>say put that cigarette out. That is a typical New

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 2>York City subway ride. Nobody looks at each other or

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 2>talks to each other. I mean, because they're all afraid.

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:52.959
<v Speaker 2>Do you never know what you're dealing with.

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 6>No, but back then they did. They gave me dirty looks,

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 6>and I loudly said, excuse me, everybody, I'm sorry. I

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 6>didn't allized. There wasn't any smoking on the subway anymore.

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 6>I used to travel with a circus, so when you traveled,

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 6>you weren't a tourist. You were working there. You were

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 6>part of the working people, and you got a totally

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 6>different view of what the.

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:16.880
<v Speaker 3>City were you with Wringling Brothers, Ringling is.

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 6>Pretty much it's a big show. But they use all

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 6>communists block acts because the Communists trained their children just

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 6>like the Chinese metal lady in Australia that from the

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 6>time she was four years old she was taught how

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 6>to be a contortionist. And she said, they came into

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.959
<v Speaker 6>the nursery school and they did all these tests and

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 6>they told you, which, Oh it's pretty cool.

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, you can get a really good

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 2>life experience, Pam. I could talk to you all day,

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I've got to run. I got to get to another call.

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you being one of us. God bless you. Congratulations

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.719
<v Speaker 2>on your gardening, and I hope you share some some

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 2>of those ears of corn with us. We appreciate it.

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's get to Rod in Kansas. Rod, how

0:24:58.680 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 2>are you glad you called?

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 7>I'm good, Sean. What an honor to speak to you.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.719
<v Speaker 7>I really appreciate all you do to thank you. To

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 7>my point, so here's my deal.

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Question.

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 7>Issue is putin Russia. Why are we not putting sanctions

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 7>on him now? After he blew up that commerce factory there?

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh we are, we are big time. Okay, I mean

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump did it before the meeting in Alaska. It

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 2>was only a week ago. Yeah, but Donald Trump is

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 2>putting on sanctions in this way. Number one, the European

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Union and his trade deal are committing nearly a trillion

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and energy purchases that would have gone to Putin. Now

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.679
<v Speaker 2>they're going to buy their energy from US number one

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent tariff on India if they continue to buy

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Russian oil. And Trump's about to unload on Putin big time.

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 2>His patience has run out. It's over now, it's going

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 2>to be. Okay, negotiation two point zero, which is to

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>break Russia financially.

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:03.399
<v Speaker 7>Good because I just feel so disrespected and I feel

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 7>like they're disrespecting him in the United States by just

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.719
<v Speaker 7>not putting the hammer down on this deal. And you know,

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:11.639
<v Speaker 7>it's a sad.

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll give Trump credit. I mean, he gave the

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Iranians fifty days. He was patient, He gave them time

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to negotiate a settlement. They wouldn't do it now, they

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:23.679
<v Speaker 2>don't have any nuclear program. They could have done it

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 2>peacefully and with Russia. Okay, it'll take a little bit longer.

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>But the sanctions bill as eighty five co sponsors in

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the US Senate, and those sanctions that you know, it'll

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.159
<v Speaker 2>cut off the funding for a Putin's war machine, and

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 2>then we'll fund Ukraine and let them buy our sophisticated weaponry,

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and now Putin's life just became even more miserable.

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.919
<v Speaker 7>No, I hope so Sean, and I just hope there's accountability.

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 7>I love John Solomon. All of that reporting is awesome,

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 7>over the top.

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 2>So thank you, buddy. Listen, you have a great weekend.

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Daniel in Texas. God bless Texas, Daniel. We have the

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 2>last minute and a half and it's all yours.

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 8>I was just kind of curious about Bill Maher and

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 8>what he was saying in an article that you know,

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 8>most Republicans want to actually go on his show and

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 8>they're not afraid, and Democrats are running scared.

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And I know that you know him.

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if you've ever actually interviewed with him.

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of curious if you're ever going to.

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 8>Like either team up with him and kind of get

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:23.639
<v Speaker 8>like a lift and a right view and kind of

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 8>do something like that, or go on a show and

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 8>it's kind of something similar to what you do.

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 2>He's been on my show a number of times, not

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>any anytime recently. He has invited me on his show

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 2>many many times. But to do a show, I got

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 2>to fly out to la and flying out to La

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 2>eleven hours to do a one hour TV show is

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>not the best use of my time. I mean, I've

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:52.360
<v Speaker 2>got a seven hundred and fifty plus radio stations here

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and I've got a show on Fox, and with all

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 2>due respect to build, my ratings are much higher. And

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, why do I want to go there and

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:02.479
<v Speaker 2>get made fun of by a funny guy. He's a

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 2>good comedian. Now, if he really wanted to have a

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:08.439
<v Speaker 2>good discussion and really you know, go deep in the

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 2>paint and just I'm I would consider doing it. I

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 2>think he's very smart, I think he is funny, But

0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd have to know that he wanted a

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>serious conversation and not not waste my time.

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 8>That's kind of what I'm getting at, because it seems

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 8>like he's turned around, even though he won't say it,

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 8>like I actually praised him for like you know, he

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 8>went to the White House with Trump, he actually admitted

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 8>when he was wrong.

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of like.

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 8>Changed a lot of his point of view. Now I

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 8>don't really I don't believe it.

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 3>He's not really changing his point of view.

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a pretty liberal Democrat, but he sees

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>that his party's gone radical left and it's not going

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to work anyway. Appreciate the call, my friend. I'll take

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 2>it under advisement. Let's put it that way.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna wrap things up for today. I forgot to

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 2>tell you the CBO now says Trump's tariffs could reduce

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the national debt by four trillion dollars, and that home

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 2>sales rose in July, defying expectations once again in US

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 2>manufacturing surge to a three year high. All right, we'll

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 2>get to some of that good news on Monday. Hope

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you have a great weekend. We'll see you then. Thank

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you for making this show possible.
