It was busy, but you know, 7 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 3: I'm trying. I try to get some Halloween decorations up. 8 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 3: That's correct, it is October twentieth. But the great thing 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 3: about that is that you get a lot of things 10 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 3: half price if you wait till October twentieth. 11 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 2: So, oh, it's the plus and minuses. One year, I 12 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: waited too late and there was nothing left. Yes, like 13 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: you know, that's the minus part of that. Ours go 14 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: up October first, and I'm talking like, you know, September thirtieth. 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: My kids are like, can we. 16 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: Get them up? 17 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 3: I love it. 18 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we don't have the Christmas decorations. 19 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. I love Halloween. I love Halloween, but I do 20 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 3: feel like as a child, Halloween and Christmas were very 21 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: far apart, and as an adult they are not. So 22 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 3: sometimes I'm just like, I'm tired, We're gonna do one 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: of these. 24 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. My kids would so do Christmas 25 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: decorations if we allowed them. My daughter's always like, I 26 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 2: don't understand why they get to have the sparkly lights 27 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: they do. 28 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: You have a lot of sparkly lights. 29 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: Nothing will do with Jesus, I can't. 30 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: Eat alrighty, so well, shall we talk about the sparkly 31 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 3: events over the weekend? All right? Everybody gathered for the 32 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: No King's Marches, No King's Day? Are they calling it 33 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: that at any rate? People of the left who object 34 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: to Donald Trump and people of the rights who have 35 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 3: joined them went out to protest this weekend. Look, I 36 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: think the left often gets too much credit for being 37 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: mostly peaceful, as we saw in twenty twenty, But it 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: looks like this went off mostly without a hitch, which 39 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: makes me glad. I like to see people out doing 40 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: their speech, without blocking roads, without hurting people, without taking 41 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: janitor's hostage like they did on Ivy League campuses during 42 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: the post October seventh, you know, anti Semitic protests and whatnot. 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: Like I'm on board with that part. 44 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: Sure. 45 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's like the rock bottom we could expect 46 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: from these people. 47 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: We're like, look at. 48 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: You guys, no violence. 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: So good. 50 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: Oh they accomplished that, you know. I try to be 51 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 3: careful about just like the collective guilt. There were some 52 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: nasty signs out there, one in particular, several like encouraging violence, 53 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 3: speakers encouraging violence. As we've noted on the show, one 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: way you can tell that the left has not denounced 55 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: political violence is that people like Angela Davis show up 56 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: to speak at their events and on all their Instagram 57 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: feeds they've praised Asada Chakur like these people are politically 58 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: violent people who have been convicted. That's political violence. So 59 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: there's that. But there were some nasty signs, one in 60 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: particular that said what heals faster Trump's ear or Erica's heart, 61 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: and that one the widow bullying Nope, I want no 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: part of it. 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: Like what do the people around her think? Are they 64 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: like great sign or are they like, ma'am hurting the cause? 65 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think anyone thinks they're hurting the cause. 66 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: And this is like, this is one of those things 67 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: where I think the left pays a much smaller lower 68 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: price for that kind of messaging than the right does. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: So look, we're like celebrating their like lack of violence, right, 70 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: you know, they get away with so much. 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: Well, and I would just like the standard to be 72 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: the same right, where if you have a right leaning 73 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: event and you have errant signs as you did during 74 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: the tea party, right, they don't make that the whole 75 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: characterization of the entire event, but you know, that's what 76 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: they did during the tea party years. I would like 77 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: the standard to be the same, but it doesn't seem 78 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: to be. 79 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very old people event, which is 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: interesting because we think of the left as young. Right there, 81 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: it's the whole if you're not, you know, a communist, 82 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: when you're not when you're eighteen, you have no heart, 83 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: if you're not a whatever the actual quote is, if 84 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: you're not a conservative when you're there, you have no brain. Right, Yeah, 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: but it just was so old. It was these boomer libs, 86 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: and it's almost like they had nothing else going on, 87 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: and they were like, hey, there's a protest, Like, let's 88 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: go do that. Peter J. Hassen had a great He's 89 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: been tweeting all about the fact that there is such 90 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: an old contingency in these protests, and he pointed out 91 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: one story where a seventy five year old said she 92 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: skipped her granddaughter's soccer game to attend the protest because 93 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: she wants to ensure her granddaughter has a future. I 94 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: would want to ensure the granddaughter has a grandma who 95 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: cares about this. And she was wearing the hooded robe 96 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: and wide brimmed bonnet from handmaid's tail, because of course 97 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: she was. This was a costume party for her. Go 98 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: to your granddaughter's soccer game? What are you doing? 99 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I agree with that perspective. Look, we 100 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: are not really a protest culture now, those of us 101 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 3: on the right. It's not our thing. And I'm glad 102 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: because I don't really want to be doing it. 103 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was thank you for that. 104 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: It was. Yes, they are very old. You can see 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: the shift both in racial and age demographics for the 106 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: left of this becoming a very affluent, older white party. 107 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: One picture stood out in particular of Birmingham, Alabama, where 108 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: the population is almost seventy percent black, and it was 109 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: an all white picture. I'm not gonna say it all 110 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: white march, but it was an all white picture, which 111 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: is statistically very tough. 112 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: So much kinder than they would be to us, you know. 113 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: I Now, I did enjoy one person's comment under it 114 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: that was, like, not one person in this picture can 115 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: make cornbread properly. But like that, there is a real 116 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: shift happening and you can see it in these protests. 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: And look, those people have energy. It may be that 118 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: now I think those are people that they already have 119 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: on their side. Are those people registering voters in Virginia 120 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: and New Jersey? Are they knocking on doors in Virginia 121 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 3: and New Jersey? I would suggest they do it without 122 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: the racial and violence promoting signs that they like to carry. 123 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: Are they winning people to their side? I don't know, 124 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 3: but there's something, there's something to the energy itself, even 125 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: if it's not being converted. I suppose. 126 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: I think this messaging is off the mark. And because 127 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: I'm on the opposite side from them, I'm not looking 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: to give them advice. But I would say the pea 129 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: hats from twenty sixteen made far more sense than this 130 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: notings thing. Yea, and like that was like Donald Trump 131 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: is anti women, we are going to wear these pink 132 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: hats and you know, show him and there was a 133 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: different energy around it. This is it just doesn't make sense. 134 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: He is not I wouldn't say, overstepping into anything authoritarian. 135 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: Any court cases that rule against him, he accepts them, 136 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: not like Jo Biden with the student loan where he 137 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: just said I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going 138 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: to pay off these student loans, despite the fact that 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court told me no. That was far more 140 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: authoritarian to me. I think the messaging is just oft 141 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: and I think this is why they're not getting young people, 142 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: because young people are like, what are you even talking about? 143 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also well, young people also remember, and this 144 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: is I think the root of some of the shift 145 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: right among those young people. Remember a time during COVID 146 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: when your government literally wouldn't let you leave your house 147 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: to protest their COVID regulations. So like, maybe there's a 148 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: little bit of dissonance there for them because they've seen authoritarianism. 149 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: By the way, Trump was in charge for part of 150 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: that and should have encouraged states not to do that. 151 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: I think it is genuinely very funny that there are 152 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: international no Kings rallies, but they can't call them no 153 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: kings because they have literal kings. Yeah, that's just very funny. 154 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: Let me just read what the Democrats abroad said about that. 155 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: They said, a few notes, we've changed the no Kings 156 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: theme of other events around the world to no tyrants 157 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: so as not to mix messages in a country with 158 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: a monarchy. Yeah, George Conway, a husband of Kelly and Conway, 159 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: who was Trump's campaign manager and counselor during his first term, 160 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: was at one of the events in a I Am 161 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: Antifa shirt and let me tell you, I cringed so 162 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: hard seeing him there. It was really just, dude, what 163 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: are you doing? Like I don't get it, Like we've 164 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: talked about it on here before, but if I just 165 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: hate the politician. And look, I didn't like Donald Trump 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. I you know, it took a while 167 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: definitely come around to him. I didn't swap out all 168 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: of my beliefs. I didn't become antifa. No, right, Molly Hemingway, 169 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 2: who actually is like the sweetest person in the world, 170 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: So it's funny that she took this like super personal 171 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 2: shot at him. But she said, not to be all authoritarian, 172 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: but the person who died George Conway's hair should probably 173 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: be imprison for the. 174 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: Rest I mean. So there's a piece in the argument 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: today entitled and thinks it does protest too much entitled 176 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: no Kings wasn't cringe And the picture is of you know, 177 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: of forty to fifty something liberal woman with a tri 178 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: cornered hat and an American flag and her sciences king 179 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: free since seventeen seventy six. The subhead of this piece 180 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: is needing to seem cool in the face of authoritarian takeover? 181 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: Is cringe? Okay? Point taken? Like, I actually do think 182 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: that's legit. 183 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: Right. 184 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 3: If you're a little cringe while you're objecting to your government, 185 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: while you're redressing your grievances, fine, this is like what 186 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: we've done forever. I'm not super mad at you. I 187 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: do think with the George Conway of it all, I mean, 188 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: I've told you this before. We're all nerds, right, people 189 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: select for this business who are narcissists and nerds. Actually 190 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: that's like sort of the group we have. But I 191 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: was the drum major of my marching band, and I 192 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: would just beg of you to be like a little cooler, 193 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: just just a little bit. And also this embrace of 194 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: the Founding is totally transactional. Yeah, yeah, they are not 195 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: interested in the Founding. And in fact, ten to fifteen 196 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: years ago, when Conservatives wore tri cornered hats and carried 197 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: seventy six signs, they were called backwards, cringe, racist, whatever 198 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: the thing was of the day. So again, it's not 199 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: that consistent about what makes a successful or good or 200 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: appropriate message at these things. 201 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. 202 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look again, you're much nicer than me. 203 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: I know. 204 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: I'm just like, let's call it fringe and it be right. 205 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: There's you know, if you're angry about what your government 206 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: is doing and you feel like you got to get 207 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: out there in the streets, it's so not me. Have 208 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: I've just never been a protester. I don't know, I 209 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: don't get it. I don't think that I just don't 210 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: get my anger out that way. Yes, this is really 211 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: what it is. 212 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: Oh, can I say one more thing because I commented 213 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 3: on this today. I think it was Morgan Freeman who 214 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 3: said his kid was like, will we get shot at 215 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: the gathering today? And again this is a thread that 216 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 3: has gone through a lot of liberal communities. It is 217 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: a mark of virtue to scare the crap out of 218 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: your children, right, And I would just like to say 219 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: it's the opposite of virtue. My children have lived through 220 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 3: all the things that Morgan freemancy. By the way, I 221 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: had know Morgan had young children. That's all amazing. He 222 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: has young children. And my kids have lived through all 223 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 3: the same things as this young lady has, and you 224 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 3: shouldn't convince them that going out in the streets would 225 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 3: lead to that. You shouldn't put all of your adult 226 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: anxieties on them. You should have some adult perspective about 227 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: what is real danger and what is not. And somehow 228 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: I have children who know that a person we know 229 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: got murdered doing my literal job a month ago, but 230 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: I have not turned that into their identity. 231 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's bad parenting. 232 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: It's so bad. 233 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: It isn't don't scare your children. Don't make them think 234 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: that they can get killed for protesting in America and 235 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: anything else. Don't don't make them think they could die 236 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: of climate change. 237 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: Like, yes, we'll put your one. 238 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you know, you know when you say we're nerds, Like, 239 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: there's a lot of different kinds of nerds. My my 240 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: daughter's math and science nerds. She finds are nerding, so bizarre. 241 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: Why do you guys care about this? 242 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: Yeah? 243 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 244 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: Why? 245 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: Well? 246 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: And the speeches, well, and we do have real problems, 247 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: which is why we, like I try to grant grace 248 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: in general to protest movements, even though people don't grant 249 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: it to ours. We do have real problems. But if 250 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: you have convinced your children, who live in the most 251 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: free and most prosperous society in the history of the world, 252 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: that they are in constant danger of penury and punishment, 253 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: then you're going the wrong direction. Man. 254 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, We're going to take a short break and come 255 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: back with news out of the Blue States. Be right back. 256 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: We are back on normally where Virginia and New Jersey 257 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: and New York City are all having a normal one. 258 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: It's going great. All right, let's talk about Virginia. Senator 259 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: Tim Kaine, a Democrat of Virginia, was on NBC News's 260 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: Meet the Press this weekend with Chris Walker, and he 261 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 3: was asked about the J. Jones controversy, which has not 262 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: gone any has not died, as he wishes his political 263 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: opponents too. It is still going because they didn't kick j. Jones, 264 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 3: the Attorney general nominee for the Democrats in Virginia, off 265 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: the ticket. They have all danced around this and refused 266 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: to denounce him. They've denounced his words occasionally, but not him. 267 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: And this is what Tim Kaine has to say when 268 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: asked about this by Walker. 269 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 2: A lot of people look at this, and I think 270 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: they asked the question, if this were a Republican, would 271 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: you be calling for him to drop out of the race. 272 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. 273 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 4: It is it's directly equivalent to things that the Republican 274 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 4: gubernatorial candidate has publicly said, not in private text. 275 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: Murder is murder, and your time will come. 276 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: She said that in a public meeting speaking about pro 277 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 4: choice activists. 278 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: I've not called for her to drop out of the race. 279 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 4: That the voters began voting in Virginia on September nineteenth, 280 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 4: these are fair items for voters to consider as they 281 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: cast their vote. But no, we're not calling for Republicans 282 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: to drop out of races. 283 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: We do say, apologize. 284 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 4: You have to take account for your actions, and voters 285 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 4: can look at the actions and look at your sincerity 286 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: if you apologize. 287 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: Apologies are in short supply in politics. These are all right. 288 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: So what do you make of that, Carol. It's like 289 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: he got scared and suddenly realized he had to change 290 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: his whole stamp. He's like, oh wait, I'm a little 291 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: bit caught here. So he's saying, if a Republican nominee 292 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: for a state office in Virginia said in texts that 293 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: he would put two bullets in the speaker of the House, 294 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: who would, in this analogy be a Democrat, that he 295 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: would not call for that guy to get out of 296 00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: the race. 297 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's just such a good guy, you know. 298 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: He doesn't think anybody should drop out nobody. 299 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 3: And then he calls it directly analogous to things that 300 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 3: other folks have said, which is not true. I mean, like, 301 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: here's the thing you have to go. I want my 302 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: boundaries on speech to be pretty wide. Right when you're 303 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: running for office. I do think that literal death fantasies 304 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: about your opponents and their children should be the line. 305 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good line, you know. I don't think 306 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: that that's too far at all. Won't say that you 307 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: want your opponents' kids to be killed? 308 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: That's good? 309 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, they're lying. They would absolutely call for far 310 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: less to drop out. And you know, the funny thing 311 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: is that this scandal broke with the young Republicans and 312 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: the Virginia Democrats said to win some series that she 313 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: has to renounce them, and she was like, all right, done, 314 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: they should step down now you go. 315 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: That was one of the Dulmer tactical moves I have 316 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: ever seen, because it didn't straight. It didn't come straight 317 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: from Abigail Spanmberger, who is the Democrat governor nominee for 318 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: the Dems here has not asked Ja Jones to step down. 319 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: Didn't come directly from her. It came from Virginia Democrats. 320 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: And what I think is that those people are so 321 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: in a bubble, that they are so cloistered, that they 322 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: are so convinced of their correctness that they didn't even 323 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: see that coming. Because Wins Sears, as you and I were, 324 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: is happy to say, no, we don't want that influence. 325 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: That's bad, we don't want them in charge them, get 326 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: them out of here, even though they're not running for office, 327 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: And Spamberger is not able to say the same thing 328 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: about j Jones. So Wins's just like and back over 329 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: the net to you, Abigail, But she has nothing to 330 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: say because she doesn't want to cut this guy off. Amazing, 331 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: which says something in and of itself. By the way, Miaras, 332 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: who is the Republican nominee running against Jones, has gained 333 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: quite a bit of momentum. It looks like five to 334 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: six points of swing in that race. So even though 335 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: this is an uphill state for Republicans, things certainly look 336 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: better for them than they did several weeks ago before 337 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 3: the age and his text about killing people were we. 338 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: Have all my fingers crossed for you guys. 339 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a good run with Younkin. 340 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: So all right, New Jersey. In the recent Democratic debate 341 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 2: in New Jersey, Mickey Cheryl had this to stay. 342 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 5: You know, I think it's interesting how he keeps citing 343 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 5: places like Louisiana and Mississippi. I think some of the 344 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 5: worst schools in the entire nation. If that's where he 345 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 5: wants to drive us to, I think voters better be 346 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 5: aware of that. 347 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: All Right, she apparently doesn't listen to normally, and I 348 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: think that's a problem for her. We got tagged in 349 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 2: this video several times over the weekend because we do 350 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 2: talk about Louisiana and Mississippi and their gains in reading scores, 351 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: and it's just it's hilarious that she is so not 352 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 2: up on this. And the thing is, like a lot 353 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: of people are like, gotcha on this. She's not going 354 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 2: to care. She is going to find a reason that 355 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 2: she's still right, and look, it's just it's crazy. 356 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: Well, this is what you and I talk about lot, 357 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: where the bubble and the insular nature of the mostly 358 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 3: liberal media is dangerous for Democrats because she hasn't come 359 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 3: across this information because she's in a bubble. The people 360 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 3: who brief her do not know this information, and they 361 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 3: are therefore relying on both old information and regional bigotry 362 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: frankly exactly to make their points. But those points aren't 363 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 3: relevant anymore and they don't know it. And like you said, 364 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 3: she's not going to be ashamed that she doesn't know it, 365 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 3: because again, I think we talked about this before. This 366 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: is the icky facts doctrine. If she knows achy facts, 367 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: that makes her ichy and write coded. So she can't 368 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 3: know those things. She can't know that children of all 369 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 3: socioeconomic statuses and stati and races have improved exponentially in 370 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: the last several years in these southern states, because that 371 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: would go against what she's got already sort of logged 372 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: down her brain. 373 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: So it's interesting because the Urban Institute fourth grade reading 374 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: score rankings have Mississippian first, Louisiana and second Florida and third. 375 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: New Jersey is number sixteen. I think she would say well, 376 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: you know this is demographically adjusted. You know, scores they 377 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: adjust for income, right, you know, But who cares more 378 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: about income and equality than democrats and about this when 379 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: we're looking at reading scores. 380 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 3: No, that's actually, by their philosophy, the thing you should 381 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 3: care most about, right, right, And so we do, but 382 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 3: I do generally. For years we've been having this discussion 383 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: because during the school closings, it was the case that 384 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: many liberals you would argue with about it, who were 385 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: in charge of making these decisions, very little about the 386 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: actual facts of whether it was dangerous. This is a 387 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: similar situation where on education they get their talking points 388 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: from the National Teachers Unions and they're done. 389 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: They're done. 390 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 391 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 3: And by the way, did you see that the NEA 392 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 3: sent out an Israel map without Israel, Hon, Yeah, yeah, 393 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 3: I'm sure that was. They called it a lapse, Carol, Yeah, 394 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 3: a lapse. 395 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: They're super, super concerned about kids having the right information 396 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: though just the one time they're not mm hmmm. 397 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: Anyway, it reveals terrible ignorance and they should be ashamed 398 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: of it because it's going to keep them from making 399 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: lives better in their states. 400 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: So ashamed they will not. They will they will not 401 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: be ashamed. Icky facts, ikey facts. 402 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: All right, what's going on with our friend mom Donnie? 403 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: Speaking of I'm actually recording this from New York City, 404 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: and I went to a conservative event last night. It 405 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: was the commentary yearly roast that they do, and I 406 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: spoke to lots of people and they're all I have 407 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: to say, they're in cope world where they're like, Mum 408 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: Donnie is going to be the next mayor. He's not 409 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: going to be able to do all these things that 410 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: he says he's going to do, and that's what we're 411 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: going to hold on to if we can't leave. So 412 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: I think most people are bracing for the Mamdanni win. However, 413 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 2: there was a poll that says that Mam Donnie would 414 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: it would be very close in a race one on 415 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 2: one with Andrew Cuomo. However, there's this pesky Republican Curtis 416 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: Leeo and the race who refuses to get out. I'm 417 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 2: of mixed mind about this, and look, I'm not somebody 418 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: that wants New York to fail. And I say this 419 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: a lot. I know a lot of Republicans are like, 420 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: who cares about that place? 421 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 3: Like that's it? 422 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: I care about it? My family lives there, my friends 423 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: live there. I care about it surviving. But I get 424 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: Leewa's argument. He's like, Andrew Cuomo lost the Democratic primary 425 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: to this guy and then ran as an independent, and 426 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: I'm the one that's supposed to drop out. 427 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, got found, you know. 428 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: And what would be worse is if Sleiwo dropped out 429 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: and Mamdanni still won, which is extremely probable. 430 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get where he's coming from, because the 431 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: last thing I want to do if I were in 432 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 3: that situation is reward Cuomo or just all of like 433 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: for an incompetent campaign, for terrible behavior, for awful governance. 434 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: So even though he's the less bad of the two 435 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: leading options, although Mom Donny's leading him by quite a bit, 436 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 3: I understand not wanting to reward any of that. And 437 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 3: although there is a world in which Republicans have been 438 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 3: governor of or have been mayor of New York before, 439 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: so arguably they should have put someone up who was 440 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: more broadly appealing than Curtis Sliwa. Absolutely, Democrats, this is 441 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: a left leaning city, like this was on y'all to 442 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 3: mount a better opposition than this to Mom Donnie, and 443 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: I got to say, especially on the oppo research, of 444 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: which there is plenty on Mamdannyquoma's just like nah, not engaging. 445 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: And I think this is the Hillary Clinton problem. You 446 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 3: just show up with your name and your entitlement and 447 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: you think that people have to vote for you, and 448 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 3: they don't. 449 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: Right, And especially Cuomo should have known that it would 450 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 2: be a bit of a battle because he had to 451 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: resign from his governorship. You don't resign people love you, 452 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: like when they can't get enough of the Cuomo you know. 453 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I do think I'm with you. I don't 454 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: want New York to face the consequences of this that 455 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: are some of which are going to be inevitable. I 456 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: do hope his powers are limited to some degree, but 457 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: some of the stuff he can do is going to 458 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 3: be really damaging, like removing gifted programs for kids. 459 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that he could do. Yeah, there was Bamdanie 460 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: actually recently posted a photo of himself with Imam Suraj Wahaj, 461 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: who was an unindicted co conspiracy co conspirator in the 462 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety three World Trade Center bombing in New York, 463 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: in New York, and this is like, who my New 464 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: Yorkers are voting for It's it's sad, It's really sad. 465 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think that any of us 466 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 3: would have imagined that twenty four years after nine to eleven, 467 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 3: potential mirror of New York would be standing next to 468 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 3: a guy who hosted the blind Shake at his mosque. 469 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just that's pretty amazing. And of course 470 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: the New York Times does the woke jiu jitsu where 471 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: they're like, it's it's racist and islamophobic for y'all to 472 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: mention these things, and it's like, no, no, no, no no. 473 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 3: If he were a candidate who was happy to say 474 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: those terror apologists are. 475 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: Bad, yeah, nobody would care that he was muzzled. 476 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: Who was happy to say globalized the end Offada is bad. 477 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 3: Who was happy to say Hamas should disarm? Those are 478 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 3: easy things to say. Who he doesn't say them is 479 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 3: because he doesn't believe them, guys, right, And that's the problem. 480 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: That is the problem, New York. Come on, better, do better? 481 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 2: All right, We're going to take a short break and 482 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: come right back with what's going on in Europe? What's 483 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: up with these places? We are back on normally where 484 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 2: we can literally have a segment called Europe. What's up 485 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: with you? 486 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: It's not great? No, there was a. 487 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: Robbery at the Louver over the last few days and 488 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: it is crazy because they literally pulled a ladder truck 489 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: up to the louver, walked up a ladder into a window. 490 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: I mean you have to see this picture. There is 491 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 2: a ladder going up to the love in. 492 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 3: The middle of the day. Not exactly cat Burglars is 493 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: what you're saying. 494 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: They walked up to an exhibit and they drilled into it. 495 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: And I wish I that the louver this summer, and 496 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: you cannot like they're like, you're walking too close to 497 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: the art right right?

How are you 500 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: not humiliated and embarrassed that somebody mounted a ladder into 501 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: your louver window and stole priceless jewels? What is up 502 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: with your Europe? 503 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 3: Also? Can I just read an embarrassing sentence? Four perpetrators 504 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 3: is from CNN World. Four perpetrators appear to have been 505 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: involved in the theft, who were unarmed but threatened the 506 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: guards with angle grinders. Paris prosecutor that's not good. No, 507 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 3: that's not good. Arm What are they going to do? 508 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 2: Hit them when the angle grinder? 509 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 3: I just this is when I saw something recently about 510 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: I believe it was a public fountain in San Francisco 511 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 3: that of course had become a place of refuse and 512 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 3: needles and defecation and such, and they had just decided like, 513 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: let's not have the fountain anymore, let's not have that operative. 514 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: Right they do. 515 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 3: You have to have the will to protect the things 516 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: that are important, to protect the things that the civilized 517 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: people are enjoying instead of you know, kneeling to every 518 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 3: criminal that comes around. And it's just it's the same thing. 519 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: You have to have the will to protect this stuff. Now, 520 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: I'm a little worried about the climate activists because usually 521 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: I don't like them throwing paint on these things regardless. 522 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: But usually I'm like, those are behind glass or something, right, 523 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: and often they are. Yeah, Now I'm not There's a 524 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 3: lot of stuff that's going to ruin them. 525 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: Like, you know, they will threaten the security guards with 526 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: paint and and the security guards. 527 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 3: Will run away. 528 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 2: It's just the jewels were from the Napoleon collection. My 529 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: middle son is super into Napoleon. So the joke in 530 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 2: our household is like, where was he on Thursday? 531 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 3: Nay, what is his alibi? My goodness, I think we 532 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 3: have another insane Europeans story, correct. 533 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 2: Not just France. This weekend in Britain, a man was 534 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 2: arrested because his Star of David was problematic and aggressive. 535 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: I you know, look, there's a lot of conversation right now. 536 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 3: About whether Jews should get out of Britain. 537 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 2: The Manchester attack on a synagogue on Yam Kipor was 538 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: a big tell of that. What I've always said about 539 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: anti Semitism is that it's not the end. It's not 540 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: the anti Semitism, it's not what happens. Anti Semitism could 541 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: happen anywhere. I'm wearing a you know, a Star of 542 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: David around my neck right now, a Jewish star. I 543 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: could walk outside. I mean I'm in New York, so 544 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: it would be crazy and somebody could assault me. The 545 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 2: thing is, it's how the public reacts to it. And 546 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: why I think America is so different is that when 547 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: anti Semitic attacks happen in America, and they do happen, 548 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 2: it's not like, well, what are you gonna do? Maybe 549 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 2: you should hide your Jewish starbetter. 550 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: It's very, very different. 551 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: Why I'm bullish on. 552 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: America in addition to the first and second amendments, is 553 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 2: because of the reaction of Americans when anti Semitism happens. 554 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: The reaction of Brits leaves a lot to be desired. 555 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: Well, and this there's some video of him being interrogated 556 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 3: by police who are like, you know, pointing out that 557 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: this Star of David is the issue. Right now, the 558 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: police have put out a statement saying, oh, no, no, no, 559 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: the thing is not It's not just the Star of David. 560 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 3: It's that like he was standing close to other people 561 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: who don't like the Star of David and it's like, okay, 562 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: that's not a good enough reason, guys. Right again, that's 563 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 3: what they're like. He antagonized them because there were there 564 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: was base there was a protest and a protest and 565 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: counter protest, right and he like you know, got too 566 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: close to the people who don't like him. It's like, no, 567 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: m m, that's not going to cut it, guys, It's 568 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: not going to cut it. 569 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: Also, Israeli's soccer team was is poised to play in Birmingham, England, 570 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: and their fans are being banned from the city coming 571 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 2: and watch them play asking Villa, and these members of 572 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: parliament are celebrating it on the internet as if like 573 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: this is a good thing, Like, oh, it's so good 574 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: that we have stopped those Jews from coming to our 575 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: football stadium. 576 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 3: Yes, it's really wild. 577 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: The thinking, or like the lie that they're telling is 578 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: that there was this big incident in Amsterdam last year 579 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: where Israeli soccer fans were assaulted and it was turns 580 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: out and the lie was that those Israeli soccer fans 581 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: were chanting something in Hebrew that you know fans knew 582 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: to be something negative. Look, soccer fans can be violent 583 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: and aggressive. The Amsterdam attack on the Israeli soccer fans, 584 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 2: by all accounts, appears to be pre planned. They were like, 585 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: the Israelis are coming, let's beat them up. And that 586 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: attack on Israelis is being used to ban Israelis from 587 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: going to other games. It's such blatant into Semitism. It's 588 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: just absolutely crazy. Yeah. 589 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: Again, it's like Jews standing too close to the people 590 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: who don't like them, right, and that is not an 591 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 3: acceptable reason. I kid you not, Carol. When I saw 592 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 3: an MP's statement on this. He was like, thank goodness, 593 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 3: these people have been banned from such and such. Because 594 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: I am not familiar with the names of soccer stadiums 595 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: in Britain, I assumed that this, you know, terrible MP 596 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 3: must be talking about like a sports bar, because like, 597 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 3: at least that would be like a smaller situation. I 598 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, they mean the whole stadium. Yep, 599 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: how can this be happening because I thought he was 600 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: just talking about like his local sports bar. Nope, no, no, no, 601 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 3: which would not be acceptable either. 602 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: But look, yeah it would be a personal decision by 603 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: the owner or whatever. Yeah, it's unacceptable, and I'll just 604 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: keep saying it. America is different, but we need to 605 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: defend that difference. We need to not follow Europe down 606 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: their terrible path. Also, if anybody hasn't read it America 607 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: Alone by Mark Stein, I don't even remember what year 608 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,239 Speaker 2: that came out, like twenty something years ago. Yes, he 609 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 2: wrote a prediction guide of what was going to happen. 610 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 2: It published two thousand and six, so almost twenty years 611 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 2: ago it is. We read it recently. Unbelievable how much 612 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: he got right about Europe and it's America alone because 613 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 2: we were the only ones kind of enforcing our border 614 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: rules and also having children, and those two factors. He said, 615 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: We're going to bring down Europe, and we're watching it 616 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: in action. 617 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 3: And they have fallen off here in the past five years. 618 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 3: So we shall endeavor to keep what's great. 619 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: About America, that's right America forever.
