We're trying to 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: get the word out wherever we can, on as many 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: different platforms as we can use to find people where 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: they are. We are joined now, as we told you 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: we would be, by comedian Adam Carolla, who did a 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: show back in the day, The Man Show, which I 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: think is long past due for a resumption, because I 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: think young men today would love this show even more 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: than young men did when it was initially on twenty 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: some odd years ago. Adam, you're still traveling. You are unabashed, 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: which is somewhat rare Hollywood. A person who is willing 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: to publicly say, hey, you know, I'm a Republican, I 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: tend to vote Republican and for Trump and things like that. 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: I'm putting those words in your in your mouth. But 22 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: that is somewhat of a rarity. And you're also really 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: good friends with Jimmy Kimmel and you guys have remained 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: good friends for a very long time, so this story 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: obviously can hit you from multiple different directions. Appreciate you 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: coming on. I know you've been on several times before. 27 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: You listen to the show often. What do you think 28 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: people should know about this situation and where do you 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: expect it to go from here? 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the first thing I think all Americans 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: need to understand is a lot there's a lot of 32 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: people of the world on the planet and even in 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: this our own country that have real problems. You know, 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: we sometimes get so caught up in what this millionaire 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: is trying to do, to what that billionaire everybody he's 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: going to land on their feet. You know, if Jimmy's 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: show never came back for another day, Jimmy would still 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: be rich, He'd still be creating, he'd still be working, 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: he'd go right on to whatever his next endevor was, 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: and whatever you think about Trump, He'll be playing golf 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: this Sunday with other rich guys. So, you know, I 42 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: think people need to get a little bit of the 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: weight of the world kind of vibe to spell that 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 3: a little bit because everybody in this story could be 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 3: could be Trump, could be the FCC, could be Kimmel. 46 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: Everyone's gonna land on their feet, and everyone's doing just fought. Now, 47 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: then we get into the implications part, where we go, 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: all right, well, everyone's still going to be rich and 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: everyone's gonna still be a homeowner. But you know, what 50 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: are the what are the implications here? I've always kind 51 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 3: of said people should be free to say whatever they 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: want to say on TV, radio, podcasts, what have you, 53 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: and then whoever pays them should also be free to 54 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: fire them if they want. And I'm. 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: I think we lost Jimmy there. I mean, I think 56 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: we lost Adam talking about Jimmy there for a minute. 57 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: We'll see if we can get him back with a 58 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: better signal. 59 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: Buck. 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: In general, I think the proposition here that there is 61 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: going to be some sort of major, significant ripples or 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: impact to Adam's point actually fades somewhat because no one's 63 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: taking Jimmy's ability to speak away. And I think a 64 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: lot of times when people say, oh, the First Amendment, 65 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: in this day and age, it probably matters less to 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: be on a platform than ever. 67 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: Let me let me put this to you. Let me 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: put this to you, Adam. I mean, I think that 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: the you're you're right obviously in that Jimmy's rich, all 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: these other people that we're talking about here, He's going 71 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: to keep doing stuff no matter what. If he's on 72 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: the show, that's fine. But I think that the reason 73 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 4: that they won is there was just the rawness of 74 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 4: people still processing what had happened to Charlie Kirk, the 75 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: worst political assassination in I don't in mind in living memory, 76 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 4: and I think that that had a lot of people 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: very upset and rattled. But in terms of the broader 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 4: implications for corporate America, there has been everyone's been saying 79 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: a vibe shift post Trump twenty twenty four, where it 80 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: feels like companies are certainly more cautious about spitting in 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: the face of half of the country. And I think 82 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: specifically with Disney, people are looking at this like, does 83 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: Disney realize that they're not untouchable as well? From the consumer? 84 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 4: I mean, how do you view that part of it? 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, the companies are going to go wherever the money 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: is going, but sometimes they're like a battleship. It takes 87 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: you a while to turn around, you know. So we've 88 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: been kind of talking about this stuff for eight years. 89 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: They've been turning the battleship around for seven years, and 90 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: they've finally corrected cores, you know, and you know it's 91 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 3: something of course Michael Jordan knew all those years ago, 92 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: which is Republicans by Nikes as well. So Madison Avenue 93 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 3: and or you know, think about the kind of commercials 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: you used to see four or five years ago, the 95 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: mixed race couples, the mixed race lesbian couple is driving 96 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: the Subaru. And now you've got Dana White is the 97 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: voice of Dodge, and there's a guy doing donuts in 98 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: the parking lot with a flag flying off the back 99 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: of the dot Ram truck like it's turned around. I agree. 100 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: Where do you see this going? How does this play out? 101 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: We're talking to Adam Carolla, longtime friend of Jimmy Kimmel. 102 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: You know Jimmy, Well, if Disney comes to him and 103 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: they say, hey, you've got to apologize and you've got 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: to make a donation, that's one of the demands that's 105 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: out there from one of the affiliate stations. Do you 106 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: think the show comes back. Do you think Jimmy just says, 107 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: you know what I've done my duty on this show. 108 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to ride off into the sunset and do 109 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: a new show. How do you think this plays out? 110 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: If you're analyzing the Disney and the Jimmy perspective, Well. 111 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: Knowing Jimmy like I do, he's not a big apologizer, 112 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: which but neither am I. And so you can go, well, 113 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: that's not a good trait, and it's also but it 114 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: can be a noble trait. I believe what I say. 115 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I get asked to apologize for stuff a lot, 116 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: and I say no because I stand by what I said. Also, 117 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: Jimmy does have quite a sense of responsibility to his employees, 118 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: and I know he feels very sort of personally responsible 119 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: for the families and all the people and the breadwinners 120 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: and all the people that he employ. And so he 121 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: is in a little bit of a quandary because he 122 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 3: does feel very indebted to those people and feels like, 123 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: you know, they have family and livelihoods and he's a 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: big part of that. And so it's a kind of 125 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: a weird position he's in because I don't think he's 126 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: planning on apologizing. On the other hand, if the show 127 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: goes away, there's a lot of people that are going 128 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: to be out of job. Then he feels responsible for 129 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: those people. 130 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: Adam, you're a Trump guy. Jimmy's clearly not. Some people 131 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: would say, how are you guys friends still to the 132 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: extent that you are, How would you describe it? How 133 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: would you respond to that? 134 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think when there's a divorce, it's 135 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: incumbent upon the parents who act responsively in front of 136 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: the kid, Right, So you'd like to make a good 137 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: example and not trash mama or talk crap about papa, 138 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: you know, in front of the kids. And I do 139 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: feel a little bit. First off, we're friends, you know, 140 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: we laugh, We talk about food, sports, and make fun 141 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: of people and talk about the old days and that 142 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. You know, politics is not. It's not 143 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: like we ever did talk about politics, you know, and 144 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: we never we didn't. We just didn't begin to pop 145 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: talk about politics. It's like, you know, it's like, do 146 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: you guys have to not talk about politics? Well, we 147 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 3: never spoke about politics and we've basically just been begin 148 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: But I think I feel like a little bit of 149 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: a fiduciary duty to, like, hey, listen, whether it's your 150 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: daughter or your old comedy partner. Just because you disagree 151 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: politically doesn't mean you have to hate the person, not 152 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: break brave with the person, not to have dinner with 153 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 3: the person. I mean, you don't have to ruin Thanksgiving 154 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: because you guys have different political beliefs. And I feel 155 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 3: the same way of friends and old comic partner. 156 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 4: Do you feel like we're entering a new age or 157 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: revitalized age of comedy because comedians are able to be 158 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: funny again? I guess that's a simplistic way of putting it. 159 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: But they're allowed to make fun of the leftist cathedral 160 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: a little bit. I mean, certainly with Biden's dementia and 161 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: the cover up and all these things. Now it feels 162 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 4: and with Trump winning, it feels like you can actually 163 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 4: just make jokes without the same fear of cancelation. 164 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: I mean, is this the best it's. 165 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 4: Been in that world in your memory? Or is it 166 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: a return to like the late nineties?

In terms of Malibu, 208 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: the answer would be zero. There is zero building. And 209 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: I go up and down Pacific Coast Highway every day. 210 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: I had us on a swivel. I know what a 211 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: lumber truck looks like. I know what case on riggs 212 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: look like.

I understand what it's like 214 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: to prepare a site to build on. There is one 215 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: hundred percent zero work going on in Malibu. There's a 216 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: little bit in the Palisades not much. But Malibu is 217 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: a big, fat zero burger, and I think altadenas pretty 218 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 3: much a zero burger as well. And it's permit, it's 219 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: red tape, it's Coastal Commission to the city, it's the 220 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: city council, it's all the above. But it's what I 221 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: predicted from my hotel room the following morning after the fire. 222 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: You guys have no idea what you're in for, because 223 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: you're not going to get permits and the city's not 224 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: going to be helpful. 225 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: One last question. 226 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: I know I don't think you've told this story, Adam, 227 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: but since it ties in with the fires, when you 228 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: graduated high school, you thought, Hey, maybe i'll be in 229 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: LA fire and you went and applied, and then when 230 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: you finally got a call back, how long did it take? 231 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of discussion about DEI what 232 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: was your experience in that. 233 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: Well. I was a poor kid who wasn't going to 234 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 3: college and came from a poor family and really didn't 235 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: have anything going on in my life, and the job 236 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: market was bad and the economy was bad. This is 237 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: the mid mid early eighties, and I literally just walked 238 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: to the North Hollywood Fire Department because It would have 239 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: been a perfect job for a guy like me. I 240 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: played football, I was pretty strong, I was kind of 241 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 3: not scared of stuff, and I would have been a 242 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: good fireman. And so I just walked in off the 243 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: street and I just said, can I sign up to 244 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: be a fireman? And the guy said, yeah, fill this 245 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: out and I handed it back to him and he said, 246 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: but don't hold your breath. And I said why and 247 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: he said, it's going to be a while. We're not 248 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: really hiring white guys right now. And I thought, all right. 249 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: I just handed him the paper and then I got 250 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 3: on with my life. And years went by, and I 251 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: was driving a truck and working on construction site and 252 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: swinging a hammer.

We got a bunch of 355 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: different clips that I want to make sure that we 356 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: get to to kind of update you on how everything 357 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: is going out there. And I've sent a couple in. 358 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: Let me pull them up to see exactly what's going 359 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: on here. 360 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to. 361 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: First play a clip of Harry Inton. We are not 362 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: that far away, one year away from the election taking 363 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: place in the midterms, and here is what CNN's Harry 364 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: Inton says Republicans are advantaged by Let's listen to that cut. 365 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 9: So what are we seeing, you know, Donald Trump being underwater, 366 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 9: Democrats and all this guarantees us we're gonna fly high 367 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 9: in the midtrans Let me tell you this guarantees you nothing. Nothing, 368 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 9: because at this particular point, the Democrats are the New 369 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 9: Orleans Saints of political parties. What are we talking about, 370 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 9: trust the Dems or GOP? 371 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 10: More? 372 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: On the economy? Who leads on the economy. 373 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 9: Republicans by seven immigration, Republicans by THIRDI how about crime, 374 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 9: a big issue for Donald Trump? And the Republicans. Look 375 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 9: at that lead by twenty two points. So the bottom 376 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 9: line is this, at this particular point, the ball may 377 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 9: bee on the ground, but the Democrats have not picked 378 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 9: up the ball and running with it. 379 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: If anything, at. 380 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 9: This particular point, it's the Republicans who are running with 381 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 9: the ball on the top issues the economy, immigration, and crime. 382 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: Okay, so that is out there worth paying attention to. 383 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: As we said, about fourteen months away from the mid 384 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: terms taking place. I also wanted to play this because Buck, 385 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: you talked about it, and. 386 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: There was the report from Mary Margaret. 387 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: Olahan at the Daily Wire came out on Friday afternoon 388 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: that the individual who tried to kill Supreme Court Justice 389 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh in the Washington, DC area, this would be assassin 390 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: was motivated by the fact that he wanted to overturn 391 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: the overturning of Roe v. 392 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: Wade. 393 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: That is, he wanted to kill a justice. Why this 394 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: is so important and I feel like it's totally been 395 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: snowed under you mentioned it. We still have no idea 396 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: who specifically leaked this opinion, but the goal was to 397 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: put pressure on Republicans and potentially meaning Republican appointees on 398 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: the Court and potentially get one of these individuals killed. Remember, 399 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: Democrats had control of the Senate and they had control 400 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: of the White House, so if the Brett Kavanaugh assassin 401 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: had succeeded, this was a draft opinion. It doesn't become 402 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: law until there is actually the release of the opinion. 403 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: So if you kill a Supreme Court justice, you get 404 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: a new one appointed. The outcome of this case could 405 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: have potentially been changed based on assassin goals. And I 406 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: believe we have audio of somebody will share me the number, 407 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: but that was just discussed by the White House press 408 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: briefing with Caroline Levitt thirty four. Let's play that and 409 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: then I'll get you to react as well. 410 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: Buck Charlie's killer. 411 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 11: With his boyfriend who identifies as transgender and then we 412 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 11: have the Annunciation shooting, the Covenant shooting, all. 413 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 7: Of these incidents. 414 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 4: The President said that we're looking into transgender violence. 415 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 11: Does that mean the FBI is looking into it? And 416 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 11: can you give any more clarity on how the administration 417 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 11: is viewing this of taking specifically transgender violence. It's definitely 418 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 11: something worth looking into, and I think anyone who denies 419 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 11: that at this point is being willfully ignorant, and the 420 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 11: administration is taking it seriously. All causes of violence and 421 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 11: why these people would be driven to such evil and 422 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 11: such hatred, And there's probably many answers to that question, 423 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 11: but the administration is really focused on all of them 424 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 11: for individual investigations. In cases, of course, the FBI and 425 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 11: the Department of Justice are leading those. 426 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so this would be assassin also trans. So Buck, 427 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: you just heard that question. The extent the audio wasn't great. 428 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: Minneapolis trans shooter, Nashville trans shooter, the would be Brett 429 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh assassin, trans shooter, and the person who just assassinated 430 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk living with a trans person and motivated in 431 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: some way by trans related issues. Seems kind of like 432 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: a significant trend just in the last year of outrageous 433 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: levels of trans violence. 434 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: Well, you have people who are disproportionately in let's just say, 435 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 4: in need of mental health assistance. That's that's part one 436 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: of this. It used to be that transgenderism was considered 437 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 4: something that alone was grounds for serious mental health treatment. Uh, 438 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 4: and now we've reached an era where there has to 439 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 4: be not only affirmation of it, but celebration of it. 440 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 4: And if you don't go along with that, as we 441 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 4: have seen in the press for years now, there are 442 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 4: these really wild claims about like transgenocide. You know, the 443 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 4: effort clay just to stop the surgeries and hormone giving. 444 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 4: It's mostly hormone giving, but sometimes surgery too, and these 445 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 4: clinics that are doing this in places around the country 446 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 4: that has been responded to by the pro trans community 447 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 4: with a complete outrage, like the notion that you wouldn't 448 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 4: want a twelve year old or a fourteen year old 449 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: to start taking puberty blockers. They can't answer these questions 450 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: like what are the long term studies on first of all, 451 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: will this make this person actually feel better? Long term 452 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 4: studies than that, if you really look at it, very poor. 453 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: What are the long term health implications of this very 454 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 4: poorly understood, and yet they push all of this and 455 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 4: they still don't really know what to say about I mean, 456 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 4: this has cut twenty Clay. This is Abigail Spanberger, who's 457 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 4: supposed to be the great moderate hope of the Democrat 458 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 4: Party in Virginia, right, the sort of a throwback Mostly 459 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 4: I think she's just boring and doesn't really stand for anything. 460 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: That's their version of a mom. Here she is saying, well, 461 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 4: I'll let you listen to her on the trans issue. 462 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 4: Play twenty. 463 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 12: Do you support biological males who say they're women using 464 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 12: women's locker rooms and bathrooms and competing in women's sports. 465 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 13: Well, the circumstances this legal case plays out is really 466 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 13: one of we've had. 467 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: Court cases settled or. 468 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 13: Judged here in Virginia in the fourth District, the former 469 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 13: Gavin Grim case related to bathroom usage. And in fact, 470 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 13: the argument is the assessment is there needs to be 471 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 13: much clearer guidance in terms of what is an executive 472 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 13: orders binding assessment of Title nind versus what has been 473 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 13: a decision of a court. 474 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 12: But do you personally support these policies? You personally support them, everybody? 475 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 12: Do you support these locker room or bathroom policies? Congresswomen, 476 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 12: why can't you answer this question directly? Congresswoman, Congress women, 477 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 12: do you support these bathroom and locker room says Nick? 478 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: Thank you? 479 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 12: Why can you answer these questions correctly? 480 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 4: We know why? And she won't, and I'm dizzy from 481 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 4: her answer was that was a remarkable series of just 482 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 4: non seculiturs and spewing nonsense. 483 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: This is what media should do. 484 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, can you give me the guy's 485 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: name who asked that question? There's no reason to be 486 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: a media figure if you're going to ask questions that 487 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: no one wants to know the answer to, and sometimes 488 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: that non answer is more revealing than an actual answer 489 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: would be. This is how broken the Democrat Party is. 490 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: If you ask me, should men be able to compete 491 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: in women's sports? I would say, of course not. Ninety 492 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: nine percent of you listening to us right now. Hecket, 493 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: maybe one hundred percent would say no doubt. What does 494 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: it say about the Democrat Party that that answer, which 495 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: is all just gobblygook and designed to distract from the 496 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: question itself, is basically the standard tenant. By the way, 497 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: give him credit. I don't know what else he's ever done, 498 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: So I'm not endorsing everything he's ever done. I like 499 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: you need to say that. 500 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: But that is. 501 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: WJLATV reporter Nick Minnock. So that's the person who followed up. 502 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: That's the person asking this question to me. If I 503 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 1: lived in Virginia, this would be enough for me to 504 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: vote single handedly against Abigail Spamberger. I don't know anything 505 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: else about her positions. But if you will not honestly 506 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: tell me what you believe on this issue, how can 507 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: I trust you on anything. That's why I think this 508 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: issue of men and women sports is such a crucible marker, 509 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: because if you'll lie to me about this, I can't 510 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: trust you on anything else. 511 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: Well, this is. 512 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 4: Also where Democrats find themselves as we're going to be 513 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: getting ready for a midterm election here constantly playing the 514 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 4: game of well, I'm not one of those Democrats. I'm 515 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 4: some other democrat. I'm not one of the open borders 516 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 4: guys in your daughter's locker room. You know, go down 517 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: the list of all these things. Notice how I just 518 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 4: want to point this out. When was the last time 519 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 4: you heard anybody talk about climate change? Just to give 520 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 4: you a sense of what a absolutely manufactured delusion book 521 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 4: plug climate change is. It was Clay Obama gave a 522 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 4: speech and I think it was the Coastguard Academy. He said, 523 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 4: the biggest national security threat we face is climate change. 524 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: This was a and I understand right now, like Buck, 525 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 4: why are you even wasting our time? Who cares about 526 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 4: climate change? Exactly a few years ago it was the 527 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 4: biggest thing that we all had to be so worried about. 528 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 4: Now it's absolutely nothing. Democrats are in. The party is insane. 529 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 4: Their ideas make no sense. And here you have Chuck Schumer, 530 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 4: who's one of a perfect example of this. Chuck Schumer 531 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 4: and Nancy Pelosi and these others exist to pretend the 532 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 4: Democrat Party today isn't what it really is, to fool 533 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 4: older voters who just don't know where. 534 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: Is Where's on? Mom? 535 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 4: Donnie Clay, here you go listen to this play seventeen. Please. 536 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 7: There are two key questions here that you haven't answered. 537 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 7: One is will you ever endorse him? And two what 538 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 7: do you need from him to get your endorsement? 539 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 5: Okay, well, first of all, you know, I know him. 540 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 5: We've had a good relationship in the past, and we 541 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 5: had a good meeting two weeks ago, a very long 542 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 5: meeting with a lot of serious questions. And all I 543 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 5: can tell you is I'm going to continue talking to him. 544 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 7: What's the hold up? 545 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 5: I got to continue talking to him. 546 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 4: And that's what I'm going to do. 547 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 7: Is part of the calculus that if you endorse a 548 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 7: Democratic Socialist, you're worried it will be damaging to your party. 549 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 7: Maybe they've been your chances of winning back the Senate. 550 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 5: I'm going to continue talking to him, Danny, you can 551 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 5: answer me again. 552 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 4: I mean a CNN actually during real journalism. For a 553 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 4: second there, I was shocked by it, but that's legitimate. 554 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 4: She can see Clay, we can all see it. The 555 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 4: whole game here is people like Schumer who have been 556 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 4: in this game forever. They are at the top of 557 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 4: the Democrat power structure, but they have to tell the 558 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: general public that the Democrats are something other than what 559 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 4: they are, especially this up and coming generation of lunatics. Yeah, 560 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 4: and this is why I've said, Sorry, New York. Maybe 561 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 4: Mom Donnie just is an awful mayor for you, But 562 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 4: I think that the premise of her question is accurate, 563 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 4: and so is the response of Chuck Schumer. 564 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: By trying to dodge it. He's terrified that Mam Donnie 565 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: and AOC are going to be seen as the face 566 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party in the midterms because overwhelming majorities 567 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: of Americans I think will reject them. And that's why 568 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: he's trying to dodge the question. But even CNN now 569 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: is on and starting to ask a little bit at 570 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: least basic questions that. 571 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: They're afraid to answer it. Sometimes somebody's afraid to answer 572 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 2: a question. 573 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 4: Say, it's all about, you know, boiling the frog slowly. 574 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: AOC is a Democratic socialist, Bernie Sanders a Democratic socialist. 575 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 4: They just they want to wait and wait so that people, 576 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 4: you know, don't really understand what's going on and who's 577 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 4: really calling the shots and what kind of policies they 578 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 4: really want to do. He just doesn't want to say 579 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: it out loud. He doesn't want to tell people the truth. 580 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer about the direction, I don't think the mom 581 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 4: donniism play is some fringe thing Democrats are going to walk. 582 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 4: I think that's what the Democrat Party is. 583 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: Well, Chuck Schumer's just there to. 584 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: Lie about that, and I think that's certainly what a 585 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: AOC believes, which is why I know you talked about this. 586 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: On Friday, Axios reported she's gonna run for president. Probably, 587 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: She's definitely going to run for president. Oh and I 588 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: think she sees herself as the heir to the Bernie 589 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: Sanders left of the party. And you can see that 590 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: with the way that she's been handling the attacking the 591 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: oligarchy tour when this is all very funny. They only 592 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: traveled via a private plane and reports our AOC stayed 593 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: in one thousand dollars a night hotel rooms. 594 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: Some of this. 595 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: Stuff, like, I bet that no one listening to us 596 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: right now, hardly. There may be some billionaires out there 597 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: that have stayed in one thousand dollars a night hotel rooms. 598 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: And there is just no way that all you had 599 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: to do was just fly commercial first class. You can 600 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: fly first class and just stay in normal hotel rooms. 601 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: They want to live like oligarchs, but they want to 602 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: live like oligarchs while being members of Congress and the Senate. 603 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: Right, they want. 604 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: All of the benefits that come with making a lot 605 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: of money without having made the money themselves. Instead, they 606 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: want the taxpayer to fund it or their donors to 607 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: fund it. 608 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 2: That's the story. Of these people. Remember Tax the. 609 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: Rich when AOC showed up at the fifty thousand dollars 610 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: per ticket Mechala and her white Tax the Rich dress. 611 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: I mean, these people are such frauds. 612 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: This coming week in New York City, Tunnel the Towers 613 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Foundation having their annual Tunnel the Towers five K Run 614 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,959 Speaker 1: and walk, held each year on the last Sunday of September. 615 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: What began with fifteen hundred people in two thousand and 616 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: two now considered one of the top five k runs 617 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: in the country, drawing forty thousand people last year.

So if I were doing 671 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: late night television and you said, hey, who's a comedian 672 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: that is not partisan, that is not political, that's trying 673 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: to appeal to every single person, Democrat, Republican, Independent, I 674 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: would try Nate Bargatsi, And I'm not sure that would 675 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: work because, again, Buck, one of the issues structurally is 676 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: podcasts have taken over long form celebrity conversation to a 677 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: large extent, and places like Netflix have taken over comedy specials. 678 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: So how much demand is there for the late night shows? 679 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 4: Well, also the ability of TV executives to end your 680 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 4: career on a whim. No, actually, that's not how it 681 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 4: works anymore. You're talented, if you have an audience, plenty 682 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 4: of places for you to go to work your craft.
