But I had a very similar conversation 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: with my son last night, like in a very serious way. 21 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: He was breaking down emotionally over this, over the whole 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: thing I talked about over the last couple of weeks. 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: I'm getting rid of Netflix and Disney and all that 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: different sort of stuff. As I've been encouraging him for 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: a long time. Got to come up with other things 26 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: to do. He's homeschooled, so he has more time on 27 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: his hands than his brother does. But uh, it's I 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: do have some sympathy as a guy who loves to read. 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: I find it difficult to read now because my brain 30 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: is warped from looking at my phone. And I didn't 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: start looking at my phone until I was forty five. 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: So you know, if you've been if you've been doing 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: that your whole life. Just the pace of things being outside. 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to get a stick and like digging the 35 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: dirt at their point, which is what I did sometimes, 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: but just the pace is just so slow. 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 5: We need and this is my ten million dollar idea 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 5: that I'm too shift list to actually implement. We need 39 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 5: electronic detox programs, and I know they exist, but they 40 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 5: need to be like well known and popular where whether 41 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 5: as an adult or as a parent or whatever. Maybe 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 5: the kid himself realizes I am making myself insane. I 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 5: need two weeks in the woods to decompress, get weaned 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 5: off the devices, get back in touch with the reality. 45 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 5: I mean actual real reality, not virtual reality reality. 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: I need it myself, right, I camba have we done? 47 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 6: I don't know. 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what are human beings doing to themselves? 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 5: You know quote unquote tech I swear is the apple 50 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 5: from the tree and knowledge in the Book of Genesis. 51 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 5: It is the the thing we cannot handle as a species. 52 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: Troubles me greatly and I only think about it every 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: single day. So well, we're gonna do oh oh. 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 5: Speaking of kids, I wanted to bring this up and again, 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 5: you're not gonna hear this anywhere but here. Even though 56 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 5: it's a huge, huge story, and especially in the wake 57 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 5: of the recent Supreme Court oral arguments, the UK has 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 5: banned puberty blockers for gender confused children indefinitely. It's an 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 5: unacceptable safety risk quote unquote. Existing emergency measures banning the 60 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 5: sale and supply puberty supressing hormones will be made indefinite 61 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 5: following official advice from medical experts. Any medical expert that 62 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: is not utterly corrupted by radical gender theory can look 63 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 5: at the evidence and see what the CAST report saw 64 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 5: and say, wow, there is no evidence that this is 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: worth all of the risks and the side effects and 66 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 5: the injuries and eighty five percent of kids grow out 67 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 5: of it within six months anyway, and the rest of it. 68 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 5: So I don't know what to say other than that 69 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 5: the UK has made their very very strong decision, joining 70 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 5: half a dozen other European countries that are doing exactly 71 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: the same thing. 72 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: So the biggest political story of the day to me, 73 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: and I think this can't be overstated, is how high 74 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is right now as a politician compared to 75 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: where he once was. There might not be a example 76 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: of this throughout world history of anybody being as low 77 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: as somebody was and as high as somebody was as 78 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: right now with Donald Trump, it is absolutely amazing. So today, 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: in case you didn't know it, he rang the bell 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: to open the New York Stock Exchange, which no president 81 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: or president elect has done since Reagan. So it's been 82 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: forty years for whatever reason. But there's a video out 83 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: of when Donald Trump gets told this yesterday, when somebody 84 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: comes to us, say, hey, we just got the news 85 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange is invited you to ring 86 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: the bell. Nobody, no president has done it since Reagan 87 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty two or whatever it is. It And 88 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: you can just tell the I mean, the guy who's 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: grown up in New York. New York is his home town. 90 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, being successful wherever you went to 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: high school, sure, I mean, and at the same day 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Time Magazine names You're gonna be on the cover of 93 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: Time magazine, which Trump is an old man, it still 94 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: really means something to be Time Magazine's person of the year. 95 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 5: Oh you know who else is Time Magazine's person of 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 5: the year Jack Perhaps you've heard of him Hitler. 97 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: And so the combination of those two things with this 98 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: CNN poll that is out, first of all, the CNN 99 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: poll on how do you feel Trump is handling the transition? 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: Fifty five forty five approved. He's got a ten point win. 101 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: We're just a couple of weeks ago he was Hitler 102 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: according to everyone, exception for people who are going to 103 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: vote for Trump. 104 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 5: And to me, the most interesting part of the transition 105 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 5: the way it's being run is he's more or less 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 5: the president already. 107 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. 108 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 5: I wish we could revive James Madison and have him say, yeah, 109 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 5: have the new guys start early. The old guy's not 110 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 5: doing anything, so let's get started. Because that's the feel 111 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 5: of it, according to Democrats. 112 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: According to Politico over the weekend, unnamed Democrats in the 113 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: White House saying, yeah, it feels like Trump's the president already. 114 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Democrats and the White House are saying that. I mean, 115 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: it's absolutely amazing. So they break it down your choices 116 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: on here are a lot of confidence, some confidence, no 117 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: real confidence, no opinion. And here's all these different categories 118 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: that Trump's killing it in. Dealing with the economy. You 119 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: add up a lot of confidence with some confidencies at 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: sixty five percent in the you know, positive territory on 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: dealing with the economy, handling the war between Russia and 122 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Ukraine's sixty two, dealing with immigration policy sixty providing real 123 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: leadership for the country fifty nine, handling foreign affairs. God 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Ian Bremer and people like him constantly writing how nervous 125 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: world leaders are now that Trump's coming back in the eyes. Okay, well, 126 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Americans are fifty five percent of them either a lot 127 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: or somewhat okay with way He's going to handle it, 128 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: Appointing the best people to office fifty four percent, and 129 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: then the most amazing one given January sixth, using the 130 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: power of the presidency responsibly fifty four percent. He's above 131 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: fifty on all of those categories. It's stunning. Yeah, yeah, 132 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: how much of it is the positive Trump thing? How 133 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: much of it is the negative Democrat thing? They're just 134 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: so not liked or respected or trusted. Yes, that's a 135 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: great question. 136 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, I would love to think 137 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 5: long and hard about this and question others from a 138 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 5: completely non partisan point of view. Just trying to understand 139 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 5: how an electorate moves from one place to another is 140 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 5: part of it. Just the dimming of memories, the when 141 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 5: Lestrei's hand sung, those too painful to remember, we simply 142 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 5: choose to forget. Is there a certain amount of that 143 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 5: of the negatives of Trump? As you point out, Well, 144 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 5: it's a binary choice, and the current guy is just 145 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 5: a miserable loser. So yeah, we're gonna go with the 146 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 5: next guy. 147 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. So final thing on this. Democrats are 148 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: still trying to do a bit of an autopsy, not 149 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: just on the election but on their party, like where 150 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: are we and what's the future and everything like that. 151 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: Polling suggests that Trump is ideologically closer to the median 152 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: voter than Kamala Harris Shock. Third Way, which is a 153 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: centrist democratic think tank their job is to figure this 154 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: stuff out to get Democrats elected, conducted a post election 155 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: survey asking voters to place themselves Harrison Trump on a 156 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: scale ranging from zero very liberal to ten, very conservative. 157 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: The mean response was two point four point five for Harris, 158 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: just dang close down to the liberal end, seven point 159 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: seven eight for Trump. For all voters it's five point 160 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: sixty three. So Trump is way closer to where the 161 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: average American is than Kamala Harris. I mean it's not 162 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: even close. No wonder he won. Yeah, yeah, that's striking. 163 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: I thought I had it and that's with me. And 164 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: if you lean Wright, it's good news because the Democratic Party, 165 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: if they want to have any say whatsoever, is going 166 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: to have to move closer to us if they want 167 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: to have any say whatsoever. 168 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: Well, and for the emptieth time of the media is 169 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 5: just a far left freak show. I mean, nobody. 170 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: Believes what they believe. 171 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 5: Statistically speaking, Why are they still in business? 172 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: Well, they're they're rapidly going out of business. 173 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 6: Ah. 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 5: One final thought on that, and this is so remarkable 175 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 5: to me. I find no need to relitigate the election. 176 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: But after the election they hold this event. I think 177 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 5: it's at Georgetown again. I'll bet I could find it 178 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 5: real quick. But where the heavyweight of the two candidates 179 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 5: campaigns get together and they compare notes and they make 180 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 5: jokes and they cast dispersions and that sort of thing. 181 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 5: And it's most Americans are totally unaware of it. But 182 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 5: if you're a Beltway freak, I mean, this is the 183 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 5: super Bowl. It's crazy interesting if you're into campaigns. And 184 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 5: Carl Rove just wrote a piece for The Wall Street 185 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 5: Journal that at Today's at this year's autopsy, the higher 186 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 5: ups in the Harris campaign were saying, we ran a 187 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 5: flawless campaign. We hit all the notes. Wow, it was 188 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 5: mostly misogyny and that sort of thing. And they were 189 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 5: dead blank and serious. 190 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: Good good, good luck, good luck with that, Good luck 191 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: with thinking that's it, Good luck with ignoring this think 192 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: tank who said you're way out of step with the 193 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: mean American You're not even close. Go ahead and think 194 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: it's misogyny, racism, please do. Okay, So it's Harvard. 195 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 5: As it turns out, Kamala Harris's campaign of chief of staff, 196 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 5: Sheila Knicks, jolted the conference Thursday night by boasting that 197 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 5: Democrats ran a pretty flawless campaign. In quotes, Ms Harris 198 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 5: did all the steps that were required to be successful, 199 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 5: she claimed, we hit all the marks. This earned derision 200 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 5: from Trump campaign co manager Chris Lsovita, as it should have. 201 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 5: And then he gets on to the you know, well, 202 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 5: the obvious problems with her campaign and the electorate not 203 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 5: separating yourself from Biden. We don't need to go over 204 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 5: that again. But it is just amazing to me the 205 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: extent to which these people are are siloed and still 206 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 5: clueless about what happened. And as you said, well, good. 207 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: Katie brought us this headline last week. I came across 208 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: it and read a little bit about it. I'd rather 209 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: die hot than live ugly. Tanning mania returns oh It 210 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: pointed out that at the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence was ridiculously bronze. 211 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: So is Bradley Cooper and one other actor just like 212 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: crazy tan and so it is like, you know, like 213 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: fashion comes in and out, being over the top.

I can look bronze like Bradley Cooper. 226 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Does that protect you at all? Or does it do nothing? 227 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 5: Interesting question? I have no idea is there? Does it 228 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 5: reflect U V A and UVB raised I don't know, 229 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 5: because we all. 230 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Know if you're tan, you don't burn his as is 231 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: when you're pale.
