In the past, Democrats have argued policy 351 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 18: change is not something you should shut down the government over. 352 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 18: That should be a different place where it is negotiated. 353 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 18: In what world would democrats decide to come to the table. 354 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 15: Listen, Democrats have already decided to come to the table. 355 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 15: That was on day one. We've always been at the table. 356 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 15: They have literally ineffectively shut the doors and shut us out. 357 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 15: Donald Trump himself said, don't deal with the Democrats. 358 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Don't even talk to them. 359 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 15: He went on Fox and Friends and said that specifically. 360 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 15: That was his order to Mike Johnson. So I have 361 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 15: been here for seven years now. Every single year we've 362 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 15: passed a bipartisan funding bill.

And it 364 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 15: also has to have guardrails in place because of what 365 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 15: this president has shown himself to be and to do 366 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 15: in the last ten months, which is disregard Congress, disregard 367 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 15: the law, spend money however he wants to spend it.

That's 371 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 15: not how the constitution works. So we are here, our 372 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 15: door is open, We're ready to negotiate. That is the 373 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 15: only way out of this. But Donald Trump has to 374 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 15: come home from his overseas trip.

That tells you 466 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: how out of touch they really are. So I've been 467 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 2: really focused on trying to sleep more, and it's hard 468 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: for me. My wife has made an excuse for me 469 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: that I've lashed on too lately, and she said, well, 470 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: that's just a trait you inherited from your mother. My 471 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: mother liked to stay up too late, and then she 472 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: was struggled get up in the morning. And so my 473 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: wife has made that excuse for me, and I'm using 474 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: it as a crutch. It is not uncommon for me 475 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: to stay up till three o'clock in the morning. That's 476 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: a stupid thing to do. It is my ultimate vice. 477 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 2: It is so bad for your health, but it's my 478 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: superpower that I've always been able to go on literally 479 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: two hours sleep and function without people knowing it, but 480 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 2: what you do to your body. The woman who Amy Farmer, 481 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 2: a dermatologist who was on our tripped upon beach. My 482 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: wife organized a brunch, a lady's brunch, and she had 483 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: her speak about hair and dermatological issues, and she's kind 484 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: of unconventional health and wellness as well as dermatology. And 485 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 2: so my wife said, what's a single most important thing 486 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: for good skin care? And she said sleep. My wife 487 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: was so excited because she's a big believer right now, 488 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 2: and number two is water hydration. So sleep is a 489 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: big deal. So this has been my big kick of late. 490 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: And so two days ago I went to bed early 491 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: for me eleven o'clock. I got a good night of sleep, 492 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: and I got up for me good night sleep, and 493 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: I got no what a bet? At ten I got 494 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 2: up and I should have been rested compared to when 495 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: I normally go to bed, but I wasn't, and I 496 00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 2: was dragging all day. And so this morning I got 497 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 2: up and I made a joke about how my wife 498 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: said she hadn't slept well we'd gone to bed even earlier, 499 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: and I said, well, if I'd stayed up later, And 500 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: it was like a it was a very guy joke, 501 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: and I realized that I thought I was very funny 502 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: because it's these forty five minutes sleep cycles. So I said, well, 503 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: if i'd set up to one fifteen, I would have 504 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: stayed on my sleep cycle and I would have been well. 505 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: And I realized that men and women have such different 506 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: things that we find funny not to mention. And I 507 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: know I'm going to piss women off, so just calm 508 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: down for a minute, because you're not going to like 509 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That doesn't mean it's not true. It 510 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 2: got me to thinking being at that women's brunch, one 511 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 2: of only two guys there, and watching how women interact 512 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: versus how men interact. We are so dramatically different. It's 513 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: why I like to have my time with my wife, 514 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: movie time, dinner time, go for a walk, take a vacation. 515 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: But I also liked to have time with the dudes. 516 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: I don't really care to hunt or fish, but I'll 517 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: go on a trip just because it's got time. Poker night, 518 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: it's not about the poker. Spending time with the fellas. 519 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 2: We smoked cigars together. It's about spending time with the fellas. 520 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: That's a very different interaction, and women don't tend to 521 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: interact like that. 522 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: They'd like to think they do. 523 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: They'll gather together because the husbands are on a hunting trip, 524 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 2: so the women are like, well, let's all get together 525 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: because the men are away. 526 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: But they argue they don't get along. 527 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: It's not part of their DNA for almost all women, 528 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: whereas men need that. And organizations of men sports, military 529 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: traditionally corporate, but that changed, always had a different vibe. 530 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: Now, look, my wife was a professional. I was proud 531 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: for her. 532 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: I appreciated the men who treated her as a fellow professional, 533 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: Mark Watts, Rick Bays, you name it, all of them did. 534 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 2: They were so good to her. But there is a 535 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 2: difference in an environment when it's men only. That's why 536 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: Lokanvar for so many years was men only. Women couldn't 537 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: be on them. And I understand that makes women feel 538 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 2: left out, but they are being left out, not because 539 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: you hate women, but because the absence of women in 540 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 2: the presence of men creates a different environment. And again, 541 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to say things that make people uncomfortable, but 542 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't make them untrue, and I believe them to 543 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: be true. I'm not being provocative I might be provoking you, 544 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: but I'm not trying to. I'm telling you that there 545 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: is a way that men speak when it's men only. 546 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: There is a way that men kid when it's men only. 547 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: There is in a spree decor when it's men only. 548 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: We don't want that to be the entirety. 549 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: Of our life. 550 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: We don't want that to be all we have. It's 551 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 2: a component of our life. And I got to thinking 552 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 2: to myself with that in mind. The reason Kamala Harris 553 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: couldn't beat Donald Trump. Who would you want coaching your 554 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: football team? Who would you want running your business? And 555 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 2: it's very very simple. I mean that wasn't even a 556 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: competition yet. 557 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Els nights, duly, thank you, and good night,
