But let's 206 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 7: before we get into the craziness. Let's talk a little 207 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 7: bit about how this came together, because you're kind of 208 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 7: not the sort of person that we would have thought 209 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 7: would put together a place that has become known as 210 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 7: a quote unquote maga hangout. Sure, Now, as I've already 211 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 7: said on this program, I kind of repudiate that description. 212 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 5: I think it's definitely a hangout. 213 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 7: But all sorts of people come through those doors. But 214 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 7: you were one of those people once upon a time, 215 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 7: at least staring through the windows of this place, window 216 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 7: licking somebod say, when it was something else. So tell 217 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 7: us about and how this will work. 218 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: Oh God, So this this building was empty for years. 219 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: It's a two hundred year old bilding, so it's been 220 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: all kinds of things. I think you figured out that 221 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: it was a photography studio at some point. Yeah, years ago, 222 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: a couple hundred years ago, So it's been it's been 223 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: a lot of things. But when I was a young chef, 224 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: three blocks three blocks down the road. I was working 225 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: in this tiny restaurant and I was I was low 226 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: on the tote bowl. I wasn't the guy, it wasn't 227 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: my show. I was just, you know, the chef. I 228 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: just executed the thing. And so I would get off 229 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: work and I would come down. I lived right behind here, 230 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: and I would I would stare in the there was 231 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: a little scrap in the paper, there was a little 232 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: tear in the paper, and I could see inside the 233 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: building and you could see these these ceiling tiles were here. 234 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: You could see the floor the way it is, and 235 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: it was this beautiful space. And if you look around, 236 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: the capital's right down the street, and mainly what they 237 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: have to eat or have to go to lunch meetings 238 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: or have to go out after after a long day 239 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: is like a Hamburger place and like a taco place. 240 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: And I sort of found that just incredibly embarrassing, because, 241 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: like the when you think about a country that has 242 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: its own culture and has its own people, one of 243 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: the first things you have to figure out how to 244 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: do is eat. And you see this, and like in 245 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: some of the sort of great countries of the world, 246 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: like France has an incredible eating culture, Japan has an 247 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: incredible eating culture. England has a great eating culture. 248 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, it does. 249 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: It really does it really, despite despite the jokes, it 250 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: really does. And so when you're forming a nation like 251 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: have you figured out how to eat? And it was 252 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: incredibly embarrassing to me that the people who sort of 253 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: quote unquote run this country had no idea how to 254 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: eat and ate so poorly. And so the idea of 255 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: building this like beautiful dining room in this place where 256 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: people could gather right here on the hill was so 257 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: obvious when you looked at the building, like it was 258 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: built to be this. I'm not sure how it was 259 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: ever anything else. And so I would stare in this winter. 260 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: This was almost ten years ago now, and so now 261 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: here we are, we've built this place and it's doing 262 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: exactly that. So it's just it's it's sort of phenomenal 263 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: that it happened that way. 264 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I certainly think it's phenomenal. And I'm the one 265 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 5: who gets to eat and drink it. I don't have 266 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 5: to do a lot of the run around. 267 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, the run around the things that you have to 268 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 7: do dealing with I mean all sorts. 269 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: If you if you sort of take a look at 270 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: this whole operation. I mean, for as. 271 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 7: Smaller space as it is, it's a giant operation. And 272 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 7: you know, one of the things I'm not very good 273 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 7: at that I'm pleased you exist for is pleasing people. Sure, 274 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 7: because you know, when somebody even when they text me 275 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 7: let alone, I was going to say, when they walk 276 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 7: through the doors. 277 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 11: Actually, when somebody texts me of. 278 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 5: An ordinary evening, it's like, hey, are you open? 279 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 7: You know, my first instinct is to reply, go find 280 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 7: out yourself. Yeah, right, this is not this is a 281 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 7: family show, right, but google it, yeah, or go on 282 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 7: open table and try and book and if you can book, 283 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 7: it means we're open and that sort of thing. I 284 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 7: don't have the temperament of a hospitality person, which is 285 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 7: funny because my father was there is probably why it 286 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 7: was while it was in hospitality for so long that 287 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 7: I've kind of shunned it as a concept.

It's there's no closed doors. 311 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Anybody who wants to come, eat and drink can come here. 312 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: And so what we're seeing right now. 313 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: Is this this popular shift on the left and the 314 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 3: right right. 315 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: I remember very distinctly in twenty sixteen, right after Trump 316 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: took office the first time, I remember reading a tax 317 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: plan by Steve and I was a Democrat at the time, 318 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: and I took it to my then girlfriend, and I 319 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: sort of was like. 320 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: Have you read this, because we this huge chunks. 321 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: Of this are copy and pasted from the Birding campaign 322 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: that we had just worked on.

The the interesting about 331 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: thing about this place. I have a very distinct memory 332 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: early on of you and one of Bernie's former campaign 333 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: staffers holding court at the end of the bar for 334 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: almost an hour.

And so this place has 340 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: always had some of that, right like as long as 341 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: as long as you can hold a conversation about those 342 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: things like you're you're you're welcome here and you're more 343 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: than happy to be here, because that's where that's where 344 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: politics are headed. The left right thing is getting destroyed. 345 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: It really is like are you part of this ruling 346 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: class or are you not? And and we're all gonna 347 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: find ourselves together and we're all going to hang together, 348 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: so to speak, if we don't win, and so and so. 349 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: That's been amazing. Steve was an earlier supporter. That was 350 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: huge for us. I've always been a fan of his, 351 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: but but it's been nice to get to know him 352 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: this year. 353 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 5: That makes one of us. 354 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right, it's been. 355 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: It's been nice to get to know him this year. Yeah, 356 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: and it's been it's been nice. 357 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 7: He's a huge fan of yours, I'll tell you. And 358 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 7: he's a huge fan of your food. And I want 359 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 7: to move on to that a little bit if I can. 360 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 7: I think for the audience who kind of lamentally playing 361 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 7: a Steve role here and interrupting, I keep trying to 362 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 7: convince Bart that we need to have our own podcast 363 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 7: out of this building and talk about not just like 364 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 7: who comes in here and the conversations that happen here 365 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 7: and all that fun stuff as well. 366 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: But it's about what you're talking about. 367 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 7: It's culture making, its change making, it's setting the tone 368 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 7: and from a populist perspective. But let's talk about the 369 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 7: food a little bit, because that is an integral part 370 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 7: of this place. A lot of you know, the audience 371 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 7: brings to politics. What we bring them is beauty, and 372 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 7: what you bring them, especially, is a palette that I 373 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 7: have scarcely reckoned with anywhere else in the world. Tell 374 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 7: us about your favorite things on the menu and how 375 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 7: you got there, and don't be afraid to talk about 376 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 7: how brilliant British food is. 377 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Well, this is going to be along with way of 378 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: getting there. But sometime after World War two, the sort 379 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: of ruling powers that be decided they could replace our 380 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: food with with with fake food, with with food that 381 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: has no nutrients, no calories whatsoever. And what we did 382 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: was we decimated the American farm. We decimated the American farmer, 383 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: and we replaced it with a global supply chain where 384 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: we get shrimped from China, and we get beef from Argentina, 385 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: and we get corn from Brazil and we get all 386 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: these things and they're shipped to us, and in that 387 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: shipment process they die and they're number one. They lose 388 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: all nutrients and they lose everything that's good for you 389 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: and eating food, but more im portally to me because 390 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm not the healthiest guy in the world. 391 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: They lose flavor. They just don't taste as good. Period. 392 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: There's no way to ship something hundreds of thousands of 393 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: miles they and they did this to make an extra 394 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: fifty cents on whatever it was when they were doing 395 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: and they did it in some regards to strip us 396 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: of our way of life. And so part of how 397 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: we design a menu here is we work with local 398 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: farmers who are within two hundred miles of this place. 399 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: Like if something has to get on an airplane, we're 400 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: not selling it. What I prefer is on Monday mornings 401 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: when we work with these Amish farmers up in Pennsylvania, 402 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: when they drop off the vegetables. If you're here early enough, 403 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: you'll see a guy with the hat and the beard, 404 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: and he drove in on a truck that's thirty years 405 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: old and he drops off the vegetables that he grew himself. 406 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: And number one, those things are better for you. 407 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: But number two, they taste significantly better because they're not 408 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: dead and they're not sitting in a thing. And number three, 409 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: for me personally, I get to know that like his 410 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: family is going to take the money that I give 411 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: them and they're going to spend it to have more 412 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: kids and keep their farms and do whatever it may be. 413 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: And so we focus on those things. 414 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: And that's a very it's a very specific way of 415 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: eating that honestly, we've had to do some education on right, 416 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: because we're used to things tasting. 417 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: Like the Cisco bag. 418 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: We're used to things tasting like a chicken finger out 419 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: of a plastic bag. 420 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: All of us are. 421 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: I am to stay in you have to sort of 422 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: like retrain your palatee around those things. 423 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 3: But it's one of the ways that we have to 424 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: sort of take back. 425 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: Our agency in these regards, is like you retrain your 426 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: palate because those things do taste better.

I think 510 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 7: one of the things that people need to realize is 511 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 7: this was never opened. 512 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: As a magat place like that. 513 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 7: Wasn't in the business planet, wasn't in the business model, 514 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 7: and it sort of just became that, right, A lot 515 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 7: of it because of you know who I am, and 516 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 7: bringing Steve in and Steve hosting so many parties here, 517 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 7: and then it just sort of snowballs, right that that 518 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 7: level of that, that type of person coming in. So 519 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 7: you've been sort of thrown in at the deep end 520 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 7: because you know, I don't think I think most people 521 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 7: in Margat maybe Maha is different. Most people in the 522 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 7: og Marga movement don't really bone marrow, don't really try it, 523 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 7: don't really. 524 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: Oysters, and that's not the only stuff that's on the menu. 525 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 7: But that's you know, but you've become known for your 526 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 7: tallow fries as well. 527 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: But but you were Maha. 528 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 7: I always say I was Marga before Trump, right, because 529 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 7: we were doing the Brexit stuff and that in in 530 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 7: the years before. 531 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 6: But you a Maha before Maha. 532 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, big time. 533 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is part of the This 534 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: is this part of the thing that I was talking 535 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: about earlier, which is we like the the canola oils 536 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: and the and the seed oils that we usually cook with, 537 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: or most restaurants usually cook with. They're not made in America. 538 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: They're made largely in South America these days, largely in 539 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: Asian countries these days. And and so if you want them, 540 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: you have to bring them in. Number one, they're they're gross, 541 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: they don't taste good. But number two, you have to 542 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: bring them in from far, far away. 543 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: And that's just like, not part of what we do. 544 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 3: It's not part of what I've. 545 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: Ever done as a chef, primarily from a flavor perspective, right, 546 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: because they don't taste good. But it's been interesting to 547 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: watch the politics develop around this, because people all of 548 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: a sudden are interested in this sort of nationalism that says, like, no, no, no, 549 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: the things we make are just as good as every 550 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: other country in the entire world. And so we grow 551 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: amazing cows. They have fat on them. You can use 552 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: that fat to fry things. Why are we not we 553 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: make the best French fries in the world. France will 554 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: have an argument with that, but but they're wrong. We 555 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: make the best French fries in the world, and the 556 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: French are wrong. 557 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 3: About most things. To me, yeah, it's fair from wine 558 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: and you know, and most food, most food. But but 559 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: we make these cows. Why would we be why would we. 560 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: Not be making our French fries in the fat that 561 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: comes from these cows instead of importing seed oils from China? 562 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 3: Are we what are we doing here? 563 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: And so that's that's just sally primary to cooking, and 564 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: that that goes across the political spectrum in a huge way. 565 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 3: Every chef that I respect and that. 566 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: I know has been doing that for ten, fifteen, twenty 567 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: years now, and they would never pitch it as like 568 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: a Maha thing. They would never pitch as they would 569 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: not even say it's a nationalist thing, even though when 570 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: I go to these other chef conferences and I meet 571 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: a chef from Spain, per se, He'll go, no, no, no, 572 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: we make the best pigs in Spain. I'll be like, no, no, no, 573 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: we make the best pigs in America. 574 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: So there's this like nationalist. 575 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: Bent to all chefs because we're proud of the products 576 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: that come from where we are. And all of a sudden, 577 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: but is it weird to vote that way. 578 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: It shouldn't be. 579 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: But but you know, that's sort of the question that 580 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: we're having now, and this place answers it a lot. 581 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the food critics would come in and they 582 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: would read about how it's a maga hangout before they 583 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: would have the food, and then they would taste the food 584 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: and they'd go, oh, crap, like this is actually really good. 585 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: We have to deal with this, and it's forcing them 586 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: to answer questions. We've done this with almost all the 587 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: journalists that have reviewed us. We've kind of become friends 588 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: with them to some extent because they're like, wait, this 589 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: is really good. I have to wrestle with these questions. 590 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: If I want good food, do I need a little 591 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: nationalism in my in my politics. Maybe, but because that's 592 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: what good food is. I mean, the French are renowned 593 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: for their good food, and they're wrong about a lot 594 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,239 Speaker 1: of things, and they've got some strange things going on, 595 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: but they've never imported food ever, right ever, And nobody 596 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: thinks of them as this like sort of far right 597 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: country by any stretch of the imagination. But you will 598 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: not find a Frenchman eating a steak from Spain. To 599 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: save your life because they make cows in France, and 600 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: their cows are better because they're proud of their country 601 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: and they're allowed to be in a way that Americans 602 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: really never have. 603 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 5: It's funny you should say that. 604 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 7: I was watching this clip from the show, you know, 605 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 7: the show Emily in Paris, and I saw this clip 606 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 7: of in the first season, they get asked to go 607 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 7: to a Spanish place and the very snobby French professor says, sure, 608 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 7: I love Spanish wine, and I just thought, no, you've 609 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 7: got this wrong, that you would never hear stuff frenching. 610 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 7: Even if they do love it, they will hide the 611 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 7: fact that they love it. 612 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 3: Oh sure, it's almost French. 613 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 8: Fine. 614 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: I think it's like there's high of a couplement, as 615 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: they would get. 616 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 7: Right right well over a year, and I mean, I 617 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 7: wish we could spend more time talking about this. Can't 618 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 7: dedicate the whole episode to this, but I'm sure people 619 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 7: will be fascinated by you who you are, and they 620 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 7: will be surprised when they follow you on social media 621 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 7: because you speak quite differently on there than you do here. 622 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to less polite or 623 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 3: more polite. 624 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 7: You're different.

Well, I documented it all for you, 641 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 7: our regular protesters. The little weird one in the middle 642 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 7: is very strange. No matter how much she shakes her arms, 643 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 7: she doesn't seem to be able to lose those bingo wings. 644 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 5: And the one on the right. 645 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 11: Is especially special. 646 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 5: He does appear to me like he might have been 647 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 5: an attempt at school shooter at one point, but they put. 648 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 7: A little message out to their group chat and they 649 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 7: actually started to attract a lot more attention. Here you 650 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 7: see the police rolling up and doing absolutely nothing, and 651 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 7: then a lot more of their friends coming in and 652 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 7: joining the equation. I especially like the ginger one. He 653 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 7: actually does seem to have a sense of humor. At 654 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 7: one point, I think they decided they were too white 655 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 7: and they demanded one of their black friends come down. 656 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 7: So here he is with the American flag and immediately 657 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 7: gets in trouble because he's. 658 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 5: Getting in people's way and harassing them. They were all 659 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 5: doing that all night, by the way, but. 660 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 7: You'll see in a second that when somebody tries to 661 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 7: counter protest them, they don't. Actually, the police don't allow 662 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 7: them the same free speech that they allow these far 663 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 7: left paid protesters. So here I am outside the pub, 664 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 7: dinner and a show for me, and I sat there 665 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 7: with this cacophony of noise for three whole hours, just 666 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 7: to show them they don't bother lass, but we clearly 667 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 7: bother them. I don't know if it's the foie gras 668 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 7: or whatever, but they seem to be taking out their 669 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 7: anger on Capitol Hills. 670 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 11: Animals. 671 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 7: This dog was particularly perturbed by what they were doing. 672 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 7: Most of the residents who are walking past objected to 673 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 7: what they were doing, and so I put on a 674 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 7: little protest of my own, grabbed our Queen Elizabeth portrait 675 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 7: from inside the bar and danced around. Its pretty perplexing 676 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 7: to them. I think, I don't think they've ever had 677 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 7: somebody get in their face like that and make a 678 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 7: mockery of them. It did seem to upset them, and 679 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 7: it especially seemed to upset the police. 680 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 5: Again, they are. 681 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 7: Allowed, these far left paid protesters are allowed free speech, 682 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 7: but apparently I'm not even outside out front on my 683 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 7: own easement of my own restaurant. 684 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 5: And that's Washington, DC for you, ladies and gentlemen. Nevertheless, 685 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 5: I hope they come back. 686 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 7: The fact that the restaurant gets protested is a sign 687 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,959 Speaker 7: that we are getting under their skin, and it makes 688 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 7: more and more people come. 689 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 5: To butter worse on Capitol Hill. I'll see you there. 690 00:37:04,600 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 2: In St. St. St. St. St. Step. 691 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 4: Yet you can I give it up twenty twenty, says 692 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 4: some pulsing barrow. 693 00:38:53,360 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 11: Oh god, so that was a couple of hours. 694 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 7: I don't know how we got through it. That quickly 695 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 7: of what's gone on in the last year, a lot 696 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 7: of it in and around my life. But I wanted 697 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 7: to show you the things that I think a lot 698 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 7: of people don't get to see, especially things that I'm 699 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 7: really excited about, like the takeover of the Trump Kennedy Center. 700 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 5: I think it is important. 701 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 7: I think it is imperative that in addition to dominating 702 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 7: the politics, that MAGA learned to dominate the culture too. 703 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 7: And you know, in a lot of ways, it doesn't 704 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 7: just mean imposing our will or our view onto the 705 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 7: rest of the city or indeed the rest of the 706 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 7: nation through those things. The same can be said, by 707 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 7: the way, for the Smithsonian institutions. And I think you'll 708 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 7: hear a lot more about that stuff in the year 709 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 7: to come. There's a lot of things that you know, 710 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 7: I can't tell you that I know is coming in 711 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 7: the next year because it would give the opponents of 712 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 7: these things a little bit too much of a heads up. 713 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 7: But there is so much coming down the pipeline that 714 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 7: the President is working on, the Ambassador Grennell is working on, 715 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 7: that Secretary Hegseeth is working on, that the MAHA crowd 716 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 7: is working on, and that indeed Stephen K. Bannon, the 717 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 7: war Room, and myself. We'll we've all got big plans 718 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 7: for twenty twenty six. So don't go anywhere. We want 719 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 7: you to stay engaged, stay tuned. And on that note, 720 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 7: you know, it's been a pretty a political show. We 721 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 7: got into some policy in the first hour, but I've 722 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 7: kept it a little bit more cultural. 723 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 8: Gone. 724 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 4: We will, we rejoice, let's stick down, let's say. 725 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 6: Sick, use your host, Stephen. 726 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 7: We are at this I hate using this phrase, but 727 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 7: we are at this crossroads in the conservative movement right now. 728 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 7: I think a lot of people see it, and a 729 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 7: lot of people know it. A lot of people who 730 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 7: went to America Fest get it, and a lot of 731 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 7: people who spend I think too much time on websites 732 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 7: like x especially get it. At this point in time, 733 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 7: I actually deleted that app off my phone because it 734 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 7: was just too much drama, too much emotion, not enough 735 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 7: getting stuff done all day every day, and too much 736 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 7: for my blood pressure, quite frankly, and I think as 737 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 7: a movement, we have that ability. We can choose at 738 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 7: this point in time to keep fighting each other, to 739 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 7: keep harassing each other, to keep insulting each other, to 740 00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 7: keep warring with one another, to keep floating theories and 741 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 7: ideas and just all of these sorts of things that 742 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 7: will only serve to separate. And those of you who 743 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 7: know me will know that for the past twenty years 744 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 7: now working in politics, I have done almost nothing but 745 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 7: strive towards the truth, towards what is right, what is moral, 746 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 7: what is correct, what is beautiful? And I think all 747 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 7: of those things are intrinsically linked. So what I'm not 748 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 7: saying is that people shouldn't be striving for the truth. 749 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 7: But what I am saying is that I think we 750 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 7: can all do a little better at treating one another, 751 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 7: a little better at not presuming bad intent, not assuming 752 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 7: negative connotations at every juncture. That is what the left wants. 753 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 7: They want us fighting amongst each other, They want us 754 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 7: tearing chunks out of one another. If anything in the 755 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 7: last sort of. 756 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 5: Eight to twelve years in this world has. 757 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 7: Taught us, it's actually in a day into the left 758 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 7: not being able to mean the Left can't actually win 759 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 7: without us letting them win, without us tearing ourselves apart. 760 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 7: And those are some of the things that I think 761 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 7: we need to reconcile and we need to avoid in 762 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 7: the new year. This is the perfect time to start 763 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 7: thinking about it. Between today Boxing Day and New Year's Day, 764 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 7: we've got some time to prey on this stuff and 765 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 7: to make sure that when we go into next year, 766 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 7: with incredibly important midterms ahead of us and incredibly important 767 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 7: presidential elections within just a couple of years of that, 768 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 7: that you're going to have to once again put your 769 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 7: shoulder to the wheel. Just when you thought you were out, 770 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 7: we will indeed be pulling you back in. And one 771 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,919 Speaker 7: of the things that I wanted to close this show 772 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 7: out on. I haven't spoken directly to the camera for 773 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 7: this show a lot over the last two hours, but 774 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 7: one of the things I wanted to mention to you 775 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 7: is when you see us building things, and whether it's institutions, spaces, events, news, websites, 776 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 7: membership things where people can come together, communities, When you 777 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 7: see us building those things, you know when the Left 778 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 7: wants to do something like that, they have big corporations 779 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 7: who throw in hundreds of millions, if not billions of 780 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 7: dollars in behind them. The Reid Hoffman's of the world, 781 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 7: the George Soroses of the world, the CNNs of the world. 782 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:44,439 Speaker 7: I'm talking about billions upon billions upon billions. And while 783 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,240 Speaker 7: there are conservatives who are very wealthy and who support 784 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 7: conservative institutions, mine in particular, are especially talk about the 785 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 7: National Pulse. You know, we from the outset to decision 786 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 7: for that website to be crowdfunded because strings come attached 787 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,439 Speaker 7: to big checks. Always has been the case, always will 788 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 7: be the case. This is my experience over the last 789 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 7: two decades. And so when we relaunched the National Pulse 790 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 7: dot com a couple of years ago, and I still 791 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 7: think it is one of the best resources out there. 792 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 7: And I don't say that about any of my work 793 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 7: on there. The team over there, Jack Montgomery, will Upton, 794 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 7: Chris Tomlinson and Lootie, the whole team that keep that 795 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 7: place running all day every day with all the latest 796 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 7: breaking news in formats that are easily digestible. They do 797 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 7: just an amazing job. But we are one hundred percent crowdfunded. 798 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 7: And what I'll say is this, if you take something 799 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 7: like Wikipedia as an example, they do a big fundraising 800 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 7: drive every year and they make tens of millions of 801 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 7: dollars over the course of two or three days. Well, 802 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 7: we don't run off budgets like that. We run off 803 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 7: very small budgets, but it is up to people like 804 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 7: you at home watching this to chip in and get involved. 805 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 11: And so if you join up now at the National. 806 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 7: Pulse dot Com forward slash warrum, that's the Nationalpulse dot 807 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 7: Com forward slash warrum. 808 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 11: It's nine dollars a month. 809 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 7: I mean, it is less than most of your Netflix 810 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 7: or NBCs or ESPNS or any of those subscriptions out there. 811 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 7: Nine dollars a month funds real news, it really does, 812 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 7: and it has done that since our inception. It helps 813 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 7: underwrite the site staff, the server costs. 814 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 3: Believe it or not. 815 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 7: We get a lot of d DOS attacks, especially from 816 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,840 Speaker 7: China where we do a lot of reporting on the 817 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 7: Chinese Communist Party and they don't like that. So that's 818 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 7: all on our backs. So that's why I have particularly 819 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 7: high blood pressure. So I'm asking for your support at 820 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 7: the moment the National Polse dot com forward slash Warroom 821 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 7: nine dollars a month, or if you don't want to 822 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 7: do that, if you don't want to, and there are 823 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 7: discounts if you do annually, by the way, too, But 824 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 7: if you don't want to do that, you can also 825 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 7: just do a one off donation at the Nationalpulse dot com, 826 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 7: forward slash donate and every penny, every dollar counts. I 827 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,240 Speaker 7: don't do asks like this very often. I think probably 828 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 7: once a year on this show, on the Boxing Day 829 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 7: special is when I do these asks in particular. But 830 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 7: at this point in time, I will be quite honest 831 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 7: with you, we desperately need it. After President Trump won, 832 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 7: a lot of people dropped off, a lot of people 833 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 7: have stopped paying attention.
