So but Milo explained what what gamer 169 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Gate was to me a long time ago, and you know, 170 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: he he We had him on a couple of times 171 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: and then he totally dropped off the radar, which was 172 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: a good thing, which was good for all involved. Yeah, 173 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you, Milo is a very interesting human beings. 174 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: Do you know him pretty well? I know him well enough. 175 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: Phoenix flies really close to the sun. Ryan is an 176 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: old Greek tale and I think I think you're thinking 177 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: of sorry from the ashes goes close to the sun, 178 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: too close to the sun, so you know, and Unopolis 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: is Greek, so he should definitely know these tales. That's 180 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: a good point and a transition, so you know, on 181 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: your point about the media, I'm on a I'm on 182 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: a one man gihad, which, by the way, I like 183 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: to use that term now because people get kind of 184 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: on edge. I'm like, why just being struggle it just 185 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: means struggle. Well, if I can't use crusade because that's mean, 186 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: why can't I use gihad? It just means struggle. It 187 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: doesn't mean war. So I'm on a one man struggle, 188 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: a gihad if you will, for uh, for folks to 189 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: understand that this that that my beef is not that 190 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: people have opinion. And I hate this, this childish, fake 191 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: explanation you get from I pick on a particularly CNN 192 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: catches my eye on this, but really the New York Times, 193 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: Washington Post right there, just see Ann the worst televised 194 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: version of this. But it's not that people can't have 195 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: opinions or don't have opinions. We're not We're not crazy. 196 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: It's that this pretense that they're entirely neutral, they are 197 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: neutral and others are not is a lie. It is 198 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: a lie. And and and I don't care who it is. 199 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: I mean, you go through the network lineup at MSNBC, 200 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: right and uh, Hayes, Matt now, O'Donnell, I don't know 201 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: who else is.

So, but before before we get to 205 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: the turn coats, which I want to, I want to 206 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: have all discussion to you about turn coats in the 207 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: GFP because that's fun. But you know, I'm talking to 208 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: you right now. And but just so you guys know, 209 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: he's in the Freedom Hunty. He's so excited to be here. 210 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: He has been texting all of the women in Johnson's life. Okay, 211 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: jump on the show. There we go. Oh really, yeah, 212 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: tell Dave Ruben he were's I'm in l A next 213 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: week and he I'm not even seeing him for he's 214 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: supposed to.

Now. We're like 217 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: now we're like mid level, third tier players. He's true, 218 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: so we're like so in conservative media, I'm like the 219 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: like there's Jordan's is even Pippin. But I'm like Tony Kuk, 220 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm still on the bulls. I'm not John Stockton. I'm 221 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the guy who vaguely looks like John Stockton who also 222 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: shoots three pointers, but like not as well as John Stockton. 223 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: And there were a bunch of them back in the East. 224 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: If you were to look, actually Steve Kerr was one 225 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: of them. You're gonna be honest anyway, this is yeah, 226 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna go I was gonna raise your your 227 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Tony Kuko should go, Kiki Vanderway, who who I will say. 228 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: People were like, oh, he just dunked, and I would 229 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: be like, I think he's six ten guys. I know, 230 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: I know he's a I know he's a slow moving 231 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: white guy, but he is like six foot ten. I 232 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: think he can dunk kick event Remember, you know I'm 233 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: talking about it. There's a large guy. He played center, 234 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: so it was a good thing that he was able 235 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: to dunk correct. But it's not really hard for people 236 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: at time. So so the neutral press we agree on. 237 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: But I was just gonna say about this and yet 238 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: tell give Ruben a rasha, you know what, because I 239 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: tell him I'm out in l A next week and 240 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: he needs to have me on that little thing where 241 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: it's like we're having a therapy session, but he tapes it. 242 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: It does him tell him that Buck is here. I 243 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: wanted to check Buck is here with me right now, 244 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: And he says he wants to do a therapy session 245 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: with Rubin that is televised out of l A soon 246 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll know what we're talking about. I have 247 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: a feeling, I have a feeling, uh, you know, he'll 248 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: know what we're discussing. So so the neutral press is 249 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: a lie. But I just think it's so funny because 250 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: you look at the lineup at Fox, MSNBC, and CNN, 251 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: and the only outlier here is that at CNN, which 252 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: has uh Tapper, Cooper, umu who you know whatever? Burnett 253 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: and Cuomo was the one that I couldn't think was 254 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: they moved him. Um they they say that those are 255 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: all neutral journalists too, Okay. Their claim is that their 256 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: prime time line up those are neutral journalists. And that's 257 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: laughable and it's stupid for all involved. They should just 258 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: be like this should be like, yeah, like we take 259 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: a Democrat point of view, but we provide you with 260 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: the facts and we're honest about it, and that's where 261 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: we are. I don't think anyone does anyone say matt 262 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Ow's neutral. Noo, that would be crazy, right, I mean, 263 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: give me a break. Although she does do the thing, 264 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: she's like, I have in my hands the most incredible information. 265 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. I give him credit for at least finally 266 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: making fun of a liberal in a way that was funny. 267 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: That was pretty good. That was pretty good. So it's 268 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: it's it's very interesting because you end up respecting the 269 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: people on MSNBC because at least they lean into their bias, 270 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: and they quite literally have a slogans like we lean 271 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: into being leftward, a leftward organization, and they admit it. 272 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: And Fox Fox has an opinion lineup, one of which 273 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: is the principle of my company, Tucker Carlson, and then 274 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: they have a straight news lineup and waym for what 275 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: you will, But at least they're honest. When you're listening 276 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: to Laura Ingram and you're listening to Sean and you're 277 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: listening to Tucker, you know where they're coming from. There's 278 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: a fundamental honesty and that I mean, there's anybody who 279 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: doesn't think Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper and Don Lemon are liberals, 280 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: is not paying attention and being dishonest with themselves. And 281 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: what bothers me is that they're they're supposed like unique 282 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: selling proposition in the marketplace is that they're the gold 283 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: standard and their neutral and that's laughable. So I don't 284 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: know any have I an eve ever creeped into your 285 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: d ms, by the way, I've gotten gotten up in 286 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: your grip? Gosh? Yes, because we I mean we roast 287 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: them every we roast them with such regular Okay, come 288 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: on yours with you'd think that we were dating like 289 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: and we were like estranged. It is really specially he's 290 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: known for this though, and Bravo Tapper, he really does. 291 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: He takes this stuff seriously and he jumps all over 292 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: when people say bias, when people rip the ratings, which 293 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: are I mean definitely are lower than Nickelodeon. Uh. And 294 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: when people come at CNN, they have some bulldog defenders. However, 295 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: it depends I personally believe, and I think it's fair 296 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: to call them biased. Now why because bias is a 297 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: selection of content. It's biased to choose which stories you 298 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: cover on which stories you don't, even if the stories 299 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: are true. So of what Tucker says, it is correct, 300 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: it's biased insomuch as he's going to tell a narrative 301 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: from my point of view. Point of view of course, 302 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: and that's okay that as long as you would they 303 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: should just be honest about it. What's insidious, what you 304 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: alluded to earlier. What's insidious is the bias that isn't 305 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: accepted up front, that isn't set up from because CNN 306 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: is projecting a worldview and a narrative, which is what 307 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: do we all do? We all choose the stories to 308 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: cover in order to best serve our audiences. But they're 309 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: choosing that without saying implicitly the underlying premise of Burnett, Tapper, 310 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: and Cooper showing. With Tapper, it's particularly pernicious because his 311 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: whole thing is like I asked the tough questions of Obama. 312 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: It's like, really, you think like this raises questions. It's 313 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: a tough question. That's not a tough question compared to 314 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: now when they're like Trump is a fascist, he's hitler, 315 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: and he's trying to destroy America. I think, I think 316 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: when you compare tough questions from CNN host to Obama 317 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: and Obama era officials, two, now you see a pretty 318 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: funny like we covered this. That's my other favorite one. 319 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: We covered this. I'm like, yeah, you cover it, like, well, 320 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: here's the thing that happened. Moving right along, right along, Yes, 321 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: this is the lead with Jake Tapper. I'm here. I 322 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: question the next gandhi Barack Obama? Is he We'll get 323 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: to that later. Donald Trump, racist hitler? Think about it? 324 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Now to my panel seven people who worked for the 325 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: Obama administration, but but he's not. He's not. No, no, no, no, 326 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: it's just he's just giving you straight buck. We just 327 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: did a report about how many former Obama officials are 328 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: working on the payroll of CNN. There are upwards of 329 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: a dozen former of people who worked for Barack Obama 330 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: who go on CNN air wives and please let me 331 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: let me check this. That is a dozen, but it's 332 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: it's a lot people who go on CNN's airwaves without rejoinder. 333 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: They go on as straight up journalists and they have 334 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: been they were paid employees of the Obama administration, not 335 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: just campaign. And they go one is Jim Scudo, Axl 336 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: rod Um. You can pluck a ton of them up 337 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: off the top of our head. She'd always by the way, 338 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: they never talked about that he was an Obama administration official. 339 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: They never talk about it. And they don't put like, 340 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: they don't put banners underneath them. They don't say former 341 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: Obama official. That's right. Yeah, they used to interview me. 342 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: They used to have me on when I was a 343 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: paid employee there as a contributor. They used to have 344 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: me on. They always go from Glenn Beck's The Blaze. 345 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, is that the official title. Do I did 346 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: I miss that? I thought it was just called the Blaze. 347 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm here to talk about c I 348 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: a stuff instead of the clowns you have over here 349 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: like that academic for a third period of verse, Like 350 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't need to hear that stuff. But but second 351 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: of all, it's like for me, I would just rather 352 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: you call it the blaze than throw in you know, 353 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: do I call it Ted Turner's CNN from Ted Turners? 354 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: It was just they would just like spit it out 355 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: like they had. They were choking on it all the time. Also, 356 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: don't get Darth Vader's voice right to call you the 357 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: most trusted name in news. That's a good point. I 358 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: actually never thought about that. Think about it, Darth Vader, 359 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: James Old Jones. Yeah, you know what, when you try 360 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: to do James Rold Jones, you always, you always, you know, 361 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: sound like somebody who's trying to sound old enough to 362 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: order beer on the phone, or do your best. Seeing 363 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: an impression as a host, well, I don't really have 364 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: a good CNN host impression. I can do. I like 365 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: my impression of Chris Cuomo's brother, the governor of New York. 366 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: Because you have to just kind of be belligerent. You 367 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: have to yell in a mono poll like this. All 368 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: of your speeches have a vaguely New York accent, and 369 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: you keep your voice up here. And then afterwards, I 370 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: will take questions now, and then I will take a 371 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: party break, and they will bring me a sandwich. Hopefully 372 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: not all the party, but if they do, I will 373 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: not turn them away because I am hungry. That is see. 374 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: By the way, Betty likes it good, very good. The 375 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: guy's got some surprises here. You got some surprise for 376 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: a former government nord Oh wait, I didn't talk to 377 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: about the the the turn coats though. Can I throw 378 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: out another premise to you that will have some promise? 379 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: So never never Trump is him? Um? There are they? 380 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: There are they? Never Trump folks who who I know 381 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: who have actually been like I'm moving out to a 382 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: rural location to write books and like wait this thing out, 383 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: and you know what, fine, well preppers, but they're just 384 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: like they're like, I'm out. I want to come back 385 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: and pretend that like the Burkey and revolution is just 386 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's just a matter of time. And I 387 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: don't want to be I don't want to play in 388 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: this game. Really, I have no problem with that, right, Like, 389 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: that's their choice. That's fine, and I even can respect that. 390 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: What I can't respect to the people who are like, 391 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: I'm so principled, I could never support Trump, and then 392 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: they go on MSNBC, CNN and they're just like, yeah, 393 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. I'm like, okay, so you're so principal 394 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: that you could never vote for Trump, but you're you 395 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: don't see any problem with selling out, bashing your higher party, 396 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: hurting everything that you've supposedly been fighting your professional career for, 397 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: because whatever liberal platform will hire you and give you 398 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: a paycheck is the one that you will now bend 399 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: the need to. They have no problem with that. There 400 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: is no quicker way for a Republican to become cable 401 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: news famous, get a book deal, and to potentially get 402 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: a contract deal with cable news outlets, which, as you know, Buck, 403 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: it can be worth tens to sometimes six figures to 404 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: get a solid contract with one of the cables, than 405 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: to be a Republican who bashes Trump and dunks on Trump. Uh, 406 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: just with with with regularity, just like pull like pull 407 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: the string in Woody and as somebody's poisoned the water hole. 408 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: As long as they can pull the string and they 409 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: can say Republican, bashist Trump, they will have you on 410 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: the air.

I I know of 412 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: whom you speak with the whole like, don't you know 413 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: vote like vote for vote for Democrats. That happened on 414 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: your show, that happened on Rising. I saw the clip. 415 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: I just was I wasn't in the interview, but its 416 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 1: torched it on Twitter. I I'm I'm sitting here and well, 417 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: actually it's it's not. I wasn't in my mind singing 418 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: out anyone because there are a lot of people that 419 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: do that. Now, there are a lot of iman there. 420 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying. I don't know if Nicole Wallace has specifically, 421 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: I mean first because he's like, I'm Nicole Wallace. So 422 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: you know what the promise you With a lot of 423 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: these people, it's like, it's all it is is you 424 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: have this very incestuous circle of people in d C 425 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: in New York who are part of the what you 426 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: could you could honestly call the elite news media. And 427 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: what you find out is that there's a very small 428 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: circle of decision makers and that the people who are 429 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: making those decisions. If you are socially connected to them, 430 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: you're an infinitely better stead than if you're somebody who's 431 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: actually come up through the ranks and done all the work. 432 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: And so you see these people in different places, you're like, 433 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: how did that person get the job? They must have 434 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: some amazing false that maybe just they have a spouse 435 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: who plays golf with you know, the guy who makes 436 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: the decisions at one of these places or whatever. That's 437 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: the way it works here. That is the way it works. 438 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: That's why it's swampy as hell. It's swampy as hell. 439 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: And in you and I both know that you you 440 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: go to the right cocktail party, and you you chat 441 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: with the right host wife, and you're on their show 442 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: the next week. It's that. It's really that simple. However, 443 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: if you want to get if you are not among 444 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: the Georgetown cocktail circuit and you you don't live here 445 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: and you don't have the right party invitations, you're never getting. Well. 446 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: You know what's funny than to do is that now, 447 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: the way they shut down the Georgetown cocktail cliche is 448 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: to say that it's it's a cliche that's become two cliches. 449 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: You can't bring it up anymore, like this is what 450 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: this is what lazy conservatives talk about. I'm like, okay 451 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: that it may be overused, it may be beat as 452 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: the kids say, but it's absolutely true. There was a huge, 453 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: three thousand word article that was published in one of 454 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: the various Naval Gayzey publications in Washington, d C. About 455 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: how the Georgetown cocktail circuit is being being dried up 456 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: because no Trump administration official will go. They can't get 457 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: guests from the administration. It's horrifying them because the administration 458 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: doesn't play ball all in that circuit, and why should they. 459 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: Every time they go to one of those things, someone 460 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: records them and then it winds up the front page 461 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: of the New York Times, so they don't go. Let's 462 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: get real for a second here. You could do shots 463 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: and I mean, like like copious shots with any member 464 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: of the administration this weekend. Who would it be, not 465 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: including Trump himself? Oh yeah, because there's so of course 466 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: the number one it's Trump, But so so who would 467 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: it be? Well, it depends on the kind of night 468 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: I want to have. If I want to have a 469 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: night where we just dunk incessantly on live reporters and 470 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: the stupidity of this entire Trump the Trump syndrome. Then 471 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: you'd have to be Sarah, because Sarah actually drinks bourbon. 472 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: Sarah drinks uh wine. She when you see her out 473 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: at a function, she is happy to have a drink 474 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: in her hand and h it makes bourbon pie. And 475 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: so while that might be like an easy and easy decision, 476 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: because you know, it's Sarah Sanders and she's just a 477 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: sterical uh she is like, she's a good drinker. She 478 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: has good taste in brown liquors, which are my favorite. 479 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: And she has the best stories and she truly, she 480 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: truly has the best story. Isn't a straight shooter? So 481 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: I would say I really like I would, I would 482 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: probably say, Sarah, how about you? I mean, as hope 483 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: pick is still in the running, is she no longer part? 484 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

Yea. Once 556 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: he gets on a roll, he's he it will intellectually crush. 557 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: It's incredible to listen to, and it really has inquired 558 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: taste because the first time I heard him, everyone's like 559 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: freaking out about Jordan Peterson. It was the viral interview 560 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: with him in the Feminists and that one that which 561 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: went bananas, Oh my gosh, the one from the one 562 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: from the bbctation.

No, No, So what you'll 565 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: really say? Because he kept coming back in this like 566 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: like she had some kind of a tick. It was 567 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: crazy that on Rising when you're doing interviews with the Democrats, 568 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: you have a lot of Democrats on Rising, you should 569 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: try that when they're like President Trump's tariffs are not 570 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: the best for America.

You hate which is well, 572 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: if it's a liberal that that goes without saying. By 573 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: the way, we already already know that wet, we got it, 574 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: We got it covered here, libs owned.

And 583 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: you know, so I'm just wondering, like, how does how 584 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: does the missus deal with the fact that basically Betty 585 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: Johnson is the closest thing that d C conservative media 586 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: has to a calendar. Guy, folks, I don't know if 587 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: you know this, but wow, yeah, that's that's amazing. You 588 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: don't I'm talking about the Hills, the Hills fifty under 589 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: fifty thing about like the you know for the Hill 590 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: now and your publication canceled that tradition. They no longer 591 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: do it, they said, it is no longer in line 592 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: with the Hills. I did not know, So maybe you 593 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 1: could give me insight as to why this publication. I've 594 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: been here for like two weeks. Dude, I don't know anything. 595 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that that was the Hills most beautiful. 596 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: I didn't even I didn't know that was canceled. What's 597 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: in line with values that it doesn't make any sense 598 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: to me, was more valuable than beautiful people? D C. 599 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: D C I find to be a city with neither 600 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: culture nor style, which is interesting because it's also in 601 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: entirely democratic. So usually the whole mentality or the whole 602 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: thought process there I think is, you know, the Libs 603 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: own the cities. I mean I own the Libs, but 604 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: the Libs own the cities, right. The Libs are the 605 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: ones that run lives, are the ones that run the cities, 606 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: um and and so they bring all these different cultural 607 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: things and everything else to it. But you know, d 608 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: C is uh, there's a if you believe in politics 609 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: as something that is good, I think you convinced, convince 610 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: yourself that this place isn't a soulless amount. A soulless Uh, 611 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: what's the word of compilation? Is what I was trying 612 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: to think of, a soulless compilation of B minus uh, 613 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: social studies, social like arts majors. Like that's what I think, 614 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: DC is, you know what I mean, liberal arts majors. 615 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking of B minus liberal arts majors, 616 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: all gathered together in one place with tremendous ambition and 617 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: very little talent. That's my assessment, DC. That's that's basic. 618 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: It's it's almost like you described you just described Twitter, 619 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: but it's it's the same. You know, it's someone's important 620 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter because you know, by the way, Ben Benny 621 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: was always like ahead of the curve with actually understanding 622 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: that social media mattered and and uh that you know, 623 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: video matters and all this stuff, and back in back 624 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: in our blaze days, I thought that stuff like mad 625 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: because I just was like, oh, it's gonna be such 626 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: a pandask gonna take and now and now everyone just 627 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: oh tweet more, tweet more, tweet more all the time. 628 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: Twere yeah, oh thank you.

I try to do some decent stuff, 633 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: but I don't even know see again, yeah, I got 634 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 1: thrown off my game. R tweets are good. You were 635 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: talking about d C. I wanted to ask you, since 636 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: moving down here, so zooming down here, what is the 637 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: most fear listeners? What are the most d what's the 638 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: most DC thing that's happened to you so far? Well, 639 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: you're just like, oh my god, getting milk after nine 640 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: pm here is like you're asking for open heart surgery. Okay, 641 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm from New York City. This shouldn't be so hard. 642 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: They don't have Deli's here. I'm like, is this some 643 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: weird foreign you know? Uh, why can't you have delis? No? No, no, 644 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: you either go to a supermarket that's you know, fifty 645 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,239 Speaker 1: thou square feet, which closes at eight pm. By the way, 646 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: because apparently DC is mostly Amish. I didn't know that either. 647 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: Everything closes here super early, and that's frustrating. So so 648 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: it's just when you're used to being able to just like, Oh, 649 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm in a city, I'm going to go get things. Uh. 650 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: That is the part of that is a part of 651 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: d C. That. Oh and also seeing all these journalists 652 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: on the street, because you know, we're right down the 653 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: street from the Washington Post and other places, seeing live 654 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: journalists who look at me and know exactly who I 655 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: am and then look down or act like they don't 656 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: know who I am, which happens all the time, all 657 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: the time, all the time. Another classic DC move is, uh, 658 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: you're you're standing there, You're at a part of your 659 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: minding your own business, and someone comes up to you 660 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: before you even introducing themselves. So what do you do? Yeah, 661 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: before saying what my name is? Well, they're trying to 662 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: assess like what what version of themselves to present you, 663 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 1: and you're you're supposed to say for congressman? So oh 664 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: oh my. My favorite DC thing, actually you're gonna be 665 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: a siding is people who tell me that they work 666 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: on a congressional staff for a congressman I've never heard of, 667 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: and they clearly think that I'm supposed to know who congressman? 668 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: You know, butt head, who gives a what is? I 669 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: have no idea this person is whatever. There's like, I'm 670 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: a congressman smurders murder's staff. Yeah, that's right. I'm like, oh, 671 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: you mean that guy from like the the Fighting twelfth 672 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: in Missouri that like no one's heard of before. Like, 673 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: what are we talking about here? People? You know, you 674 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: have to think is you have to be a believer 675 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: or else you can't handle this place. Back, I'm working 676 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: really hard on the farm bill, the new appropriations from 677 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: the farm bill. Have you heard of HR seventy four? 678 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: Can would you consider featuring the congressman on your show? Yeah? 679 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: The the only the only Hill staffers that I find 680 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: I find takable are the ones that are are at 681 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: this point so cynical about the entire thing that even 682 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: when something goes well, they're still they're like the hostins negotiative. 683 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: That's like they're all gonna die, Like it doesn't matter, 684 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, like it doesn't matter, we're not fighting anymore. 685 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: Let it all happen, you know, Like those are the 686 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: only ones that I can handle because the ones that, 687 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: like you're bringing up, which is, by the way, the 688 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: predominant vibe here, which is people are they have to 689 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: convince themselves that they're accomplishing something other than essentially the 690 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: the appearance of legislation and the reality of selling access, 691 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: which is really what's going on here all the time. 692 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, that's that's the thing that I have 693 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: and I like each other. That's a dirty little secret 694 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,479 Speaker 1: is that people there are democrats hanging out in my group. 695 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: These people it's for show. A lot of this is 696 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: for show. There are very few true believers because once 697 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: you peel a little curtain back of Washington d C, 698 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: it's about money and access to power, and those things 699 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 1: are granted by the Constitution, and one party is gonna 700 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: get them in the other part is gonna g them 701 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: and one and and people from the d n C 702 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: email me hilarious stuff all the time.

But 706 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: the battles drums are for show. And that's one of 707 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: the things you definitely realize. Although I will say with 708 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: with like TV media stuff, if people think that I 709 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: don't like someone, they are correct, meaning meaning like if 710 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: I say, like that guy's a jackass when I see 711 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: him I'm not like, hey, buddy, it's been a while. 712 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: Like I, I generally just have cold stare and we 713 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: stare at each other and you know, so that's not 714 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: that's not for show, dude. I like once gradual egos 715 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: in this business. And when I go to the White 716 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: House because I've written some type of scorching story on, 717 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: every person's had like a meltdown, like a gerber baby 718 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: level meltdown, from Peter Alexander of course, down to Jim Costa. 719 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: And you end up writing these funny clips and you 720 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: throw them up in the Daily Caller and everyone like 721 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: to click on him and watch him, and they all 722 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: read those, They all read these, and then they all 723 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: slide into my d M is really upset.

One of my favorite 780 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: Twitter battles wash was us tweeting for a week straight 781 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: about how Brian Stelter is a human egg hybrid and 782 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: how CNN is doing We just made uh, we just 783 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: made mashups of him and eggs and like you and 784 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: we just tweet photos of him or an egg and 785 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: you had to choose which one is Brian Stelter and 786 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: which one is just a hard boiled egg. And he 787 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: looks just stunning. It's very difficult quiz because he looks 788 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: stunningly like a hard boiled egg. And he kept responding, 789 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: he kept well, you can do that at the Daily Caller. 790 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: It's very funny, and he just kept Stelter kept responding, 791 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: probably like eight or nine times, is is this is 792 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: this the future of journalism. It really Daily Color, really 793 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: it is. It is what you think the journal journalist 794 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: attacking other journalist. Is this really what you're gonna do? 795 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: Is this level that we're gonna stoop down to modern journals? 796 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: Before you answer the future, you should see him trying 797 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 1: to read a prompter or conduct an interview where he 798 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have scripted questions, and then you can ask, because 799 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: I've seen both about the future of journalism. It's amazing 800 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: that he has a show. It helps to look like 801 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker, just say, the guy making the decisions.
