  Speaker 2: guests lined up. We got Josh Holmes from the Ruthless Podcast.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm a Ruthless Podcast listener, David Drucker from The Dispatch,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Eleana Johnson Byron York. Good stuff, a lot of punditree
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: coming up, and a lot of stories. We'll talk a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: little politics today. It's an election day, particularly out in Arizona.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: People keeping a close eye on those races. We've got
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: some movement in the South Carolina race where Lindsey Graham
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Seed opened up and now his sister is declared that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: she will be running for the full spectrum. She wants
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the six years, she wants the election, not just the appointment.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And then we'll.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Also talking about how the Democrats are trying to reduce
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: our military budget even in the middle of wartime. Why
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: are they doing this Because anything Republicans want, they have
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to stop it. That is the name of the game.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And how do we get around that, What do we
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: do and who does that actually serve in this midterm
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: election year. But we'll start with something that is pretty
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: unbelievable that's happening that which is that the Smithsonian has
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: been outed as a very woke entity. And this is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: going on right now as we're having this conversation, as
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we're recording live, there's a hearing going on over the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: National Museum of American History where all sorts of findings
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: have indicated that there's all sorts of trans stuff, sexualizing
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of the children, and all sorts of wokeism that's taking
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: place within our arguably our most important constellation of museums
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: here is a just unbelievable moment, and I'll try to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: cut in and give some commentary, but I want to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: play this one.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: This is Brandon Gil the congressman.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Who is one of the most capable at politely but
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: devastatingly questioning people on Capitol Hill.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this one's freezing up.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So this is in the clip when we get to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it is rand and Gil who is talking to Smithsonian
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Director Heartig with a pretty devastating line of questioning. But
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: before we do that, we can play why don't we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: play cut six?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Is Mickey Mouse racist?
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Mickey Mouse is not racist.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: It's not racist.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: According to the Smithsonian Institution, one of your exhibits reference
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: to Mickey Mouse is representing quote vestiges of long standing
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: traditions of blackface minstrelsy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Would you describe that as racist?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: No, the historical trajectory of the origins of Mickey Mouse tied.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Directly Mickey Mouse's is rooted in racism.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Is that you're.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Testimony, it's rooted in menstrully minstrelsing. You don't think the
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: blackface minstrelsy is racist.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: And it's certain obvious racial overtones that have been well documented.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Think that's problematic that Mickey Mouse also has those racial overtones.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: It's not for me to determine what's problematic. It's determined
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: to me what's accurate.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Is that? Right? Right?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, yay, let's say what I think of racism. One
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of the first things I think about is Mickey Mouse.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That's number one.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Look, this is what they have to do. This is
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: what the left does that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Are at this moment in our in our in our heritage.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: What's happening is that they go after everything that made
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: America unique and special. They have to destroy our national myth.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You see this example again and again. And I was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just playing a clip on my live show today of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Abdulla Lsiu Memel play it later on he show. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: he's going through just a laundry list, like chat ept
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: spit it out of all the horrible things about this country,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: from slavery to Jim Crow to women not being equal.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: He don't care about any of these things. He's just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a self aggrandizer who's trying to get elected. But all
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he wants to do is he's running on a platform
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that America is not only not that great, it's a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: uniquely horrible place. And that's why our own museums are
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: not promoting stuff that beautifies, glorifies, makes us feel good
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: about our country. No, what we're doing is we're putting
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: out we're reminding people that actually you may have missed it,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: but Mickey, that guy's really racist. And don't even get
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: me started about Donald. All right, let's play we got
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: cut one go and here's Congressman Gil with a director heart.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Take here.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: We got history, even if it's not properly carried out.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Would you say that the goal of history is to
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: be objective?
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Thank you, sir for the question. You know, I think
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: that there are many goals of history, and certainly, as
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: you collect, as we do examine evidence.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Creates objectivity one of the goals of history.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: We strive to be objective and nonpartisan and not based
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: on any idea.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: It's one of the goals. Doesn't that seem a little
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: bit concerning? It certainly does to me, because as part
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: of this White Supremacy Document that your organization has promoted
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: objectivity as a core and defining aspect of white supremacy culture.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Do you think that it's the goal of the Smithsonian
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Institution to promote white supremacy culture?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Sir? Do you mind sharing with me, which document.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: White supremacy culture right here. This is part of the
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: mass action toolkit that your organization has promoted for several
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: years now.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And so this is part of from this White House
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: report that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Recently came out that they release called Saving America's Story,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: great title, how they came up with that, but they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: gave specific examples of alleged ideological content within our museums,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and one of them was staff resources in reading groups
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: sponsored by the Smithsonian that addressed white supremacy culture. This
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: goes through a list that they have including immigration related
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: programming from teachers, resources to promote DAKA, which is Amnesty
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: for Legal aliens, featuring stories of illegal alien individuals, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: partnering with illegal alien activist groups. They exhibit material that's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: described as advancing trans and gender fluid themes. I bought
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: some of that momentarily. And they have partnerships with groups
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is not only
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a group that targets organizations like Breitbart and Turning Point
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and Prager You and all sorts of things that are
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: very normative for conservatives. But we now learned recently that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: they astroturfed the Unite the Right rally, which started the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: whole Charlottesville hoax where Trump That led to Trump saying
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they're fine Nazis, which of course he never said.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: There's all a big hoaks and a lot of that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We learned that a lot of the people who were
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: there were funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: is partnering with our own Smithsonium. And this is a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: really good thing to point out because this is a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: huge opportunity with President Trump as the president, because you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: any Democrat or any lazier Republican would never bother addressing
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: any of this stuff.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: So it's good to see it. Let's hear more from
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Congressman gil.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: My promoting a wife man. This this a difficult question, No.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Srue, I'm just thinking about the mass action toolkit. We
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: didn't develop it. But back to your question, no, we're
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: not promoting any ideology.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Does it concern you that your goal is objectivity? One
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: of your goals is objectivity, and your mass action toolkit
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: references objectivity is a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: It's not our toolkit, it is your toolkit.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: You You've been promoting it for quite some time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So just to recap what we've seen thus far, is
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that Congressman Gil has said that it is objectivity important.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: She says, we strive to be objective.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And then he says, your document says objectivity is white supremacy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: She spends a lot of time thinking about that one,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and then he cuts in and says, that is a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: difficult question. You're promoting white supremacy at the Smithsonian. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: she looks like it wasn't my stuff. Well, it really is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: This person, Anthahartig, is to this stuff. Literally, she is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the Smithsonian director.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: That's what she does. She directs the Smithsonian. So it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: pretty devastating. Let's continue. It's painful, but we got to
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: keep going. Let's go, guys.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: It's sir, but you've been promoting it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: It is used as a reference, I believe, probably in
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Yes, under your leadership, it has been used as a reference.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Is Mickey Mouse racist?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Mickey Mouse is not racist?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: All right, red Mickey Mouse.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Part So we will cut ahead, and when we come
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: back from the break, we're going to talk to Josh
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Holmes from Ruthless. But then in the following seven we'll
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: pick up from there, guys, you can skip head. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we have to do the Mickey Mouse part again. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we're just getting going here. A timber chat bringing up
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: pictures of bondage sexually transgender stuff. A six year old
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: girl asked why she doesn't have meal Genitulia. Also in
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the clip of Congressman Gil, the Smithsonian Institution is selling
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Latina power merchandise.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Woke is not dead, ladies and gentlemen.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: This is major thing here. It's been a theme on
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: The Marlow Show for a while, and I'm making a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: theme on the Huge Show for today. Woke at best
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: is latent. It's waiting to re emerge. Maybe it's even
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: incubating and getting stronger behind the scenes. And we need
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to make examples of these people. We need to call
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: them out over and over again. We need to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: relentless about this, tireless about it. This is not American values.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: This is contraar to American values. And we're fighting back
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: here in the Hugh Hwit Show.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'm Alex Marlow. We'll be right back.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Ring back to work on the Hugh Huge Show. Alex
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Marlow in for Hugh. Josh Holmes is on with me now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: He's the co.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Host of the Ruthless Variety Program, Josh, really nice to
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: make your acquaintance. I'm a Ruthless Variety Show enjoyer. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I got off my show, my live show earlier today,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and I played a clip of Melot kiro socialist Democrat,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: talking about how we don't have enough immigrants in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: United States Congress. And then I turned on the Ruthless
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Variety Program my long drive down from Glenn Delle to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Orange County, and you guys played the same clip.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But this is so important. I think this is really
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: one of the most.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Stories of the moment. Here's some of the quote. There's
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a certain reckoning that we're going to have to have
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: with the global world order, a reckoning. And then she concludes,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this means getting more people who have heritage in the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: global South into office, not with American heritage, heritage in
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the global South.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: This is a big deal. It's a huge deal.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Well, it unites a couple of things that the left
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: is doing simultaneously. The first is, of course the illegal
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: immigration and to what ends that meet, and it's their
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: perversion of.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: Our census and our awarding.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: Of federal dollars and representation, and of course the more
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: illegal immigrants that you can have somewhere, the more representation
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: that you get on a far left liberal democratic dogma.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: But this whole issue of the global South is I
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: think much more pervasive than any of us would like
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: to admit, and that what's driving a lot of these
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: DSA socialists is this anti Western civilization mentality that is
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: at its core just frankly anti American, and it has
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: become the dominant force within the Democrat Party today.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: And it's a very, very scary proposition.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You're right about this, And I started the show and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I'm doing a monologue about the Smithsonian and all of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the anti Americanism in our own Smithsonian.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And then you've got prominent Democrats.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Who are either elected or the verge of being elected,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: saying we need to not just replace American workers, but
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: we need to actually replace the American representatives in our Congress.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You guys had a great point on your show about
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the United States of America. We're supposed
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to have representation from all over our states, and we're like, no,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that's not good enough. We need to actually have people
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: from other countries. And I feel like I'm taking crazy
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: pills here. When I'm saying that this is not exactly
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: what the design should be, well, of course, it's not
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: what the design has ever been.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: And you know it used to be.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: When I started in politics.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: It used to be you had two different ideologies that
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: tried to get at the same agreed upon problem.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Right, it was either usually a.
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: Larger government solution to the ills of society or a
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: smaller government, market based solution.
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: The left no longer is that it's destroy America.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: It destroys values, destroy our constitution, and destroy its very
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: residents and citizenship. Therein in our ability to control our
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: own future. If you import enough of people who harbor
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: ill will towards Western civilization in the United States of
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: America specifically, you can fundamentally.
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: Uproot what has made this country the greatest country.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: In the world.
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: And that is the goal that they are professing.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So you and I both mutually have fun on our
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: respective programs making fun of the Democrats socials of America.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: That's a good thing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: But who wins the Democrats civil war? Is it the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: establishment or is it the socialist I think I know
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the answer. You tell me who wins, and then tell
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: me is that a good thing.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Or well, look, I'm going to put my chips in
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: the DSA at this point, in large part because it's
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: been thirty long years since there has ever been a
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: moderating force in Democrat politics. Either the furthest reaches of
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: the far left win or they negotiate a surrender with
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: a ruling establishment Democratic class in which their agenda is
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: put forward, as in the case of Joe Biden. Right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: So it's winning by losing in that case, I think
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: if you look at the trajectory of the Democratic Party
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: over the last three decades, this has always been heading
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: off the left hand side of the map. Increasingly they
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: have little or no respect or alignment with the center
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: of this country. They've made that abundantly clear, and it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: ruled by this coastal elite university professor types who.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: Don't like America.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: And that I mean, I wouldn't love to run a
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: domestic election like that, which is again, why are they
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: trying to change all the inputs right exactly?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And so this is the point that I'm raising, which
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: is that it's fun for now to watch them actually
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: have a civil war, but if an anti American faction
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of their party wins out, it does raise the stakes.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It seems like they're easier to defeat. Yeah, but if we.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Don't defeat them, then America really is going to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: fundamentally transformed.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: Well, there's no question in this why you got to
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: stay vigilant about it. I mean, just consider that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: AOC She's a perfect case study in this.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, just a few years ago, everybody on the
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: conservative side just laughed out loud every time she opened
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: her up one because it's funny too, because she has
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: this sort of a historical, complete lunacy view of the
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: United States and what it is that we do here.
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: She is now alex in the center of that party.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: She's being credited with brokering the DSA and the establishment.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: She's the tie that binds.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: This is a person that everybody thought was so crazy
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: that they couldn't even believe that she was on television talking.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Now she is I think the odds on favorite to
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: be the next nominee.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: On the Democrats side for President of the United States.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I think if she wants it, she's there's a clear
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: path for her, very clear path, And I think that
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: definitely let's put a pin in that. Let's talk again
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: about that down the road. But I do think her
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: real skill set is her willingness to be able to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: shift accents at a moment's notice to try to.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Court different groups of people.
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: See.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: But there's something that it's so brazen.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: It's I can't tell if she's trolling us, if she's
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: just tempting all of us to waste our entire shows
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: talking about it. But it's just NonStop, just she can
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: speak a different language to a different audience. We've never
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: seen anything like in American politics. It is truly a skill.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So here's the point, though, is that they're offering a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: vision for America. The left that America is a uniquely
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: horrible place has always been horrible. We were both at
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the Defense Innovation Summit in Pennsylvania last.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Week, and it's the opposite.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The right is offering we're innovating, we're building, We're going
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to conquer things we never thought possible. But is that
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: message getting out? Are we getting the message out? We
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: have this very fun, this fun vision for our country
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: that we are best days are in front of us.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Is that coming through to people?
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think it's coming through at all.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: I think we've got to double down and make sure
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: that it is because I left that sum at Alex
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: probably like you, totally re energize far out the prospects
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: of getting America back to where we had been for decades,
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: which is the leader of the free world. We're doing
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: things no one else can do. We're thinking of innovation
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: in a way that no one else can possibly compete with.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: We're bringing all those ideas into fruition with a manufacturing
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: base that can actually produce better than anyone else in
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: the world. We're not fighting nineteen fifties battles. We're doing
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: twenty thirty to twenty two hundred. And that is where
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: the Republican Party of the conservative movement need to be
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: in order to sell the optimism. We can't be victim
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: class culture complaining about what everybody on the left wants
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: to do to us. Show people a little of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: vision that you and I experienced at the Defense Forum,
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: and I guarantee you people are going to be pretty
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: excited about it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, we got a minute.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: This is a tough one because this is I think
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: speaks to my exact point that's specific here Save America Act.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: There's multiple versions of it. The bottom line is conservatives
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: one voter ID and proof recistionship to vote. There is
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: not a good path forward and this makes people in
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: my audience pull their hair out that Republicans can't get
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: an ID locked in.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Do you see a path for us to complete this?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I don't at this point, I really don't.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: And it's but you have to start with the fact
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: that the Democrat Party has told Americans, who approve of
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: all this by an eighty twenty margin, that they don't
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: think it's appropriate to show a photo ID to vote.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: You got to do it to buy Barry, you got
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: to do it to buy cigarettes. I mean, we just
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: read the Olive gard and you can't even get a
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: full pasta without a photo idea in your pasta card.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is just a no brainer.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: But the problem is that we haven't had this national discussion.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: You saw Mark Warner on the Sunday Shows answer this
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: question for the first This is a question that every
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: Democrat needs to be facing every single day if we're
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: doing our job.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Josh Awns, Ruthlith Variety program, wherever you get your podcast,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Really nice to have you on the Huite Show.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I'll be right back, all right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Alex marlow In for Hugh. David Drucker is on with me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: He's at David M. Drucker on X the Everything app.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: He's a senior writer for The Dispatch. David, you did
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: some reporting from Michigan where you followed along what you
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: frame up as a pragmatist candidate and a populist candidate,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and this is a fascinating.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Thing that we're all tracking.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Abduel said and his rising campaign, which seems to stand
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: for pretty much anything that he thinks is going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: get him attention versus Haley Stevens, who seems much more
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: sort of normal, at least relative to Democrats. What are
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the key touchstones in this race that you're seeing and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you feel like this could be some sort of a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: proxy for what the Democrats are going through at a
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: grander scale here.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I definitely think Alex that it's a
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: key race in the sort of intermural squabble that Democrats
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: are having right now that are sort of to me
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: reminiscent of what Republicans went through in the Tea Party era,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: with Tea Party Republicans as they define themselves, you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: hashing it out with so called establishment Republicans and party officials.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: And look, if an l Saeed can win a Senate
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: primary in a swing state like Michigan, that's a much
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: bigger deal than winning a Democratic primary in a blue
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: district in a house race, right, I mean, it's a
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: much bigger deal. You're in the Senate, you have more power,
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: you have more influence, you have more attention. And I
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: think that people shouldn't fool themselves into thinking that a
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: duel L Site can't win in Michigan in a general
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: election in twenty twenty six. He absolutely can. It's likely
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: the Jocelyn Benson, the Secretary of State who's going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: be the Democratic nominee for governor, you know, will win
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: that race by about six to eight to nine points,
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: maybe seven or eight points. That's going to be a
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: lot of updraft for I'll say, even if there's some
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: drop off for various reasons. But he's a very good politician.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: He is very personable, he's very likable, he's very charismatic,
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: and he's running on a simple message that if you
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: didn't know who he was, except for the third prong,
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: you know, you wouldn't be that upset with it. Right,
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Money out of politics, money in your pocket, Medicare for
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: all and it's kitchy, and you know you can. You
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: can dig into it and find a lot of flaws,
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: as I do in the story. But people are very
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: attracted generally to this idea that money is a problem
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: in politics. I find this on both sides of the
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: aisle of voters, and hey, money in my pocket at
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: a time of a persistent inflation that really works. So
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: it's the other views. But I wanted to bring this
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: up to say that he is not necessarily reading as
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: extreme to everybody. And when I interviewed a lot of
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: voters at one of his rallies, like nobody's maybe one
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: person and maybe and I'm not recalling here, brought up
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: Israel and the fact that he doesn't believe Israel has
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: a right to exist. Yeah, and he seems to be
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: fixated on Israel. They brought up everything else, And I
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: think for some voters, his opposition at Israel and willing
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: to say it is like a signal that he's not
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: going to be a goal along to get along. That's
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: a typical populous thing. He believes it. I don't think
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: he's saying it just for fun, but I think for
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: a lot of voters. They're like, yeah, I guess he
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: believes it, but you know, I don't know if I
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: agree with him, but it just shows you he's not
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: going to be a goal along to get along, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: so I think that's just a way to understand what's
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: going on in his primary.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So and Haley Stephens, she's got this sort of folksiness
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to her, which is is just not as appealing from
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a content perspective. It just Heed's much more captivating to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: an audience. I see that completely. His ideology, though it
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: seems a little bit incoherent that he wants things to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: be cheaper, but he wants Medicare for all, which is
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: going to be a huge tax hike in order to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: have such a thing. He wants socialism, but he also
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: likes an open border. He won't condemn the Iyahtola, and
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: he just seems to name check a path can go
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: after the Jews whenever he possibly can, using code of course.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: But it's very clear where he stands on that stuff.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And none of this speaks to me that he's got
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: some sort of core ideology other than that he's just
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: trying to win a primary from the left. So then
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: my question is you spoke to a lot of people
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: who are supporting him. What is resonating to them with him.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: Well, he says that the worst part of politics, the
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: thing that is ruining American politics is donor money. Now,
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: he focuses a lot on Apack, but he doesn't just
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: mean Apack. And I can't tell you how many Republican
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: and Democratic voters I talk to over the years. They
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: just think the fact that wealthy donors can give money,
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: or that organizations can give money. They also have a
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: misunderstanding of campaign finance law, and they think corporations are
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: sending big checks to politicians. You know, there are limits,
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: there are laws, there are regulations. Nobody understands any of this.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: They just look at the system. And I am not
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: here defending members of Congress or presidents, but what I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: telling you is that everybody thinks they're running around an
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: SUV's eating bond bonds and you know, living at the ritz,
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: and it's just not the case. There are laws, and
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: when you hear about the crooks that are caught, it's
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: because the law is working. But look, aside from all
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: of that, Alex, that's what's resonating. Plus, he focuses so
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: much on inflation that is resonating. And I think he
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: does believe some of these things. But like a lot
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: of slippery politicians, he says things and then doesn't follow through.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: I asked him, okay, you want to abolish ICE. Okay, fine,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: but like, how are we going to do immigration enforcement?
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Because you just said we should keep doing it? And
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: he said, well, we should start from scratch. I said how.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: He said, well, it's a young agency. We did it
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: before ICE. Why can't we do it after us? He said,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: fair enough? How he didn't have an answer when I
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: asked him how he was going to how much Medicare
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: for All was going to cost. I didn't even say
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: how are you going to pay for it? I just
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: said what's it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: Going to cost?
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: He said, I know, but I'm not going to tell
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: you because you're going to use it against me.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: So he does things like this, but he's good at talking.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: And I'll say, look, Haley Stevens, you can like her,
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: you can not like her. She is of a pre
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: of a sort of previous era, if you will, that
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: believes in legislating, and that means compromises that are often uncomfortable.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: But it's the only way you legislated in the US
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Congress and get presidents to sign things. And you know,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: to her credit, she's running on who she is and
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: what she is, and so is he. It's just going
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: to be what are voters really interested in and who
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: actually votes, because there are a lot of voters in
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: Michigan that you know, are going to find the traditional
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: candidate appealing. There are lots that won't. And it's my
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: sources we're telling me, you know, it's it's the old pliche.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: Depends on turnup and like who turns out and how
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: many of them from different pockets in Michigan, And that's
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: going to tell us a lot about who was motivated
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: to show up and who wasn't, which will tell us
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: a lot about the intraurial fight democrats are having right now.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's interesting because it looks like a lot
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: of the top party brass in Michigan are behind Stevens
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the sort of trendy, your more
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: headline friendly socialist Democrats are behind from.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Out of state, yeah, yeah, and from out of state,
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: from out of state exact, Gary Peters, Gary Peters, his indoors,
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: Tailey Stevens right, Dana Nessel, the state Attorney general indors
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: Tailey Stevens, and we'll see what more comes. But you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: part of it is where their party is. It may
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: turn out that he wins this big or small, it
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: may turn out that he loses big or small. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: I do think it's indicative of a party that, for
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: the first time post Barack Obama is having a real
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: debate over whom they want to be when they grow up.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: David Drucker, I'm gonna call an audible hill here if
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you want to hang through the break, I'd love to
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: ask you some of your recent reporting.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom as well.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: But a great story out in the Dispatch. Do Michigan
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Democrats when populism or pragmatism? You all should check it out.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I'm Alex Marlow intercuw. I will be right back, all right,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Marlow here infrahuwe it. David Drucker is on with me
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: at David M. Drucker on XT Everything app. He also
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is a senior writer for the Dispatcheries and a lot
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: of reporting on Michigan in California of late Last Word
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: on Michigan, David, before I turned briefly to California. Do
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you have a prediction and who's going to win that
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: race in the Democrats set in primary?
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: No, I don't have a prediction. I walked away feeling
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: like it seemed like the LSA campaign had more energy.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: But I just don't know what to make of it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: My sources couldn't really give me a good handle on it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: But he clearly seems to have more energy and enthusiasm
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: on his.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Campaign, that's for sure.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And the question is does the one energetic voter does
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: not outweigh two unenergetic voters. So let's see where it goes. Yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: so we're tracking it very carefully, all right. So Gavin Newsom,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: who's my governor out here in California, also has proven
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: to be a bit of a conundrum because in some
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: ways he looks like the frontrunner for the Democratic Party,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: but also seems like the more he talks, the more
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: he goes down in the polls. I find him on
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: endlessly frustrating here or as a Californian, because he's always
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: first out there on social media whenever Trump does something
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to announce how horrible it is and how horrible Trump is.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: But in the meantime, there are no houses that are
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: rebuilt in Malibu on the iconic coastline there after the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: fire from a year and a half ago. None of
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the problems in our state have improved under his watch,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: from homelessness to crime, to traffic, to the worst airports
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: to the school system. It's all horrible. It's all getting worse.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But I guess you don't have to have a good
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: record to run for president. First of all, is he running?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: And second of all is he winning?
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, too early to say, too early to say is
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: he winning or losing? Is he running? I'm pretty sure
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: he's running. Everybody that I talked to in Sacramento believes
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: he's running, and they believe that the final few years
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: of his second term have been geared towards preparing him
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: to launch a presidential campaign, which is like different than
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: how they described his first term and early in his
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: second term. So that's what clearly everybody that observes him
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: up close thinks. You know, you said, do you need
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: to be, you know, have a good record to run
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: for president? I mean you're usually you're better off if
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: you have no record, and people can imagine anything they want.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: There's nothing attack. You know, people like political outsiders. They
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: don't like anybody who actually has any experience governing, just
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: if you want to look at it from a pure
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: political perspective. But look, you know what I found interesting
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: about Gavin Newswim is ever, just about everybody that I
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: talked to Alex told me they didn't know what to
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: make of him. I said, look, do you think he's liberal,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: do you think he's progressive, do you think he's moderate,
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: you think he's centrist? And everybody said, I don't know.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: And then I said, what do you think his signature
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: initiative is? You know, not just he's obviously signed a
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: lot of bills and he's had a lot of initiatives.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: What is his signature initiative after two year two terms?
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: I don't know. And I think one of the reasons
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: why he is a front runner for the nomination if
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: he runs, is because he is better at most than
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: most Democrats at doing one particular thing. Giving Democratic voters
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: the catharsis regarding Donald Trump that they have felt every
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: day for the past eleven years, and it's why voters
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: in California have overlooked the problems that haven't been solved.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Very well stated, you should check out all David's reporting
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: at the Dispatch.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: The Paradox of Gavenue s is the article we're referencing
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: just now go check it out online. Thanks David, appreciates
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: you show with Alex marlow in for Hugh Today and
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: grateful to be here.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Eleana Johnson is on the line with me. She's the
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: editor in chief of the Washington Freebeacon. Eleana, it's great
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to have you on. I want to talk to you
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: about a couple of items you've been reporting on personally,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and one of them is for all of us. We
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time online. There's something very confusing
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: that goes on. Is it still feels like the vast
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: majority of Republican voters who are talked to genuinely like
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Israel and still believe in Israel and see all the
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: craziness that people spout about Israel as insane, and yet
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: you go on the internet and you would think, well,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: maybe Hamas really has got a case now, and maybe
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: we really have got to hear out what they've got
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to say. Maybe October the seventh, and quite as bad
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: as the news reports were, what's the truth? You've done
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of reporting on this lately.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Alex.
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: It's a great point, and I think it's a case
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: of Twitter is not reality. A freebeacon poll that we
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: did with our partners at Echelon Insight really found that
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: Republican primary voters remain supportive of Israel and of President
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: Trump's more active and muscular foreign policy by large margins.
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: They support a strong US Israel relationship by a margin
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: of fifty seven percentage point, and they also support a
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: president who explicitly explicitly denounces anti Semitism by a margin
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: of fifty two percentage points. Our top lines allow readers,
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: and I encourage people to go read this poll for
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: themselves to see the breakdown by age. And I think
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: it is true that on both the right and the left,
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: there is more skepticism of Israel among young voters, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: those are the people more likely to be vocal and
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: loud and active on X. But I think it would
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: be a mistake to confuse those people for the broad segment,
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: you know, as representative of the Republican primary.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: Voters as a whole.
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: In fact, those most likely to vote, as we know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: are the oldest among us rather than the youngest.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an important point, and that's why when
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: anyone wants to point out people who have audiences that
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: are skewing older, like, for example, you know, Hughes not
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: exactly the youngest guy in the world. I always love
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: speaking to Hughes audience because I can guarantee you one
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: hundred percent of the people and Hughes audience are voting
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: It's very important, and.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: A lot of these people are popping up online. They're
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: going to bother to vote, and it's important to note that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: But we still don't want to lose a pr battle
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: people who are supportive of Israel and see it as
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: a strong net positive for the play it. So do
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: you remain somewhat concerned about some of the vibes online,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: particularly with regards to younger people, because it is I
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: still don't want to see younger people voting or not
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: turn on Israel and start some supporting Jihati's which is
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: basically what we're seeing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think you're right, Alex, and it's really important.
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: I think it's clear we've seen over time in our
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: polling and other polling that negative views of Israel have increased. Ironically,
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: you know, since October seventh, twenty twenty three, and that
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: needs to be fought. Look, in part, I think it's
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: because Israel has been in the front of the headlines,
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: on the front pages of the news, and when that stops,
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: I have a sense that things will revert to the mean.
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: But really it's the sixty four thousand dollars question. Is
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: the resurgence of anti vicious anti Semitism on the right
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: and the left a passing fad and that young people
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: will disabuse themselves of. You know, is it youthful stupidity
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: as they get older, or is it something that both
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: parties are really going to have to grapple with because
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: these voters are going to cling on to it as
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: they age. And one thing I would say, Alex is
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: that in the Democratic Party, these people are getting elected
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: to Congress. You know, they're likely to be elected to Congress.
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: They have been elected to Congress in the form of
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: these squad leaders, while in the Republican Party we're seeing
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: them voted out of Congress in the form of Thomas
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green. And we've seen a lot
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: of pushback from Republican elected officials, whereas in the Democratic
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: Party we've not seen Democratic leaders say much about this
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: troubling phenomenon.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so this is where I ask the important
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: question I.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Think here is is there anything that is what can
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: be doing to help itself in terms of PR And
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I do feel like they're not good at PR. The
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: This has been I think pretty well discussed over the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: past year, but there's you know, this discussion that Israel's
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: committee a genocide is so widespread and of course it's false,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: and yet it's just out there and it's very hard
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: to address it. And when Israel does do PR, then
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: a huge machine gets cranked up to criticize Israel for
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: trying to defend itself. That's something we've been witnessing online
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. What do you think Israel could
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: do to make the case that it really is a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: beacon of freedom and technology and intelligence and strength in
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a pretty chaotic region.
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: You know, this might be simplistic, Alex, but I don't
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: think there's a substitute for victory and survival. And I
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: think that has to be Israel's focus right now, far
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: more than the communications piece, and then the rest will
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: speak for itself.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I hope you're right about that.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I hope that's how it works out over time.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: All right. So, another thing you've been.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Reporting on lately, which is near and dear to my
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: heart at Brightbart is you've been covering a lot of
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: new devil.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Roy Singham he is.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: You guys describe him as a notorious Chinese based American
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: mogul running a shadowy influenced campaign to undermine us AI
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: efforts and give Communists China and edge. He's married to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: a woman who's a founder of Code Pink. He lives
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: in Shanghai, and he's very overtly anti American any of
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: his speeches, and I think you're correct to highlight this
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: guy is one of the true threats to the republic
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: at the moment. Give people a little background on nevill
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Roy Singham.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: Nevill Roy Singham is an American who sold his technology
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: company some years back for hundreds of millions of dollars
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: and with that money, relocated to Shanghai, where he shares
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: offices with a group respond a CCP linked group Communist
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: Party Front group responsible for doing the party's messaging, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: The New York Times has done excellent reporting tracing a
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: web of groups that are funded by Singham that all
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: do the communist part messaging, and that are all tied
• 36:02
  Speaker 11: to the far left fringe in America. And so I think,
• 36:05
  Speaker 11: just as you see the islam the Islamists tied to
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: the far left of the Democratic Party, so too is
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: the CCP. And one avenue of their influence, funded by Singham,
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: is a campaign that is highlighting, exacerbating and trying to
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: stoke American concern about artificial intelligence in order to give
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: the Chinese a leg up in this technology race. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: so they are funding campaigns, Uh, they are putting people
• 36:42
  Speaker 11: on the ground to wage these campaigns against data centers
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: across the country. And I think it's important to note
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: this isn't to say there isn't genuine opposition to American
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: to AI among Americans, but the Chinese, through Neville Roy Singham,
• 37:01
  Speaker 11: are seizing on that opposition and trying to expand it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very good points. And I'm curious what's to be
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: done about this. I know Senator Cotton has called for
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: an investigation, but investigationtimes are enough. We got to move
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: fast here. This is a fast moving situation. This is
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: a very fluid situation. What can be done to counter
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: this guy?
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think really, this is a fair Foreign Agents
• 37:28
  Speaker 11: Registration Act issue, and I don't think we fully understand
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: the web of his influence. Just one example is that
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: his wife, who's the co founder of Coping, Jody Evans,
• 37:39
  Speaker 11: that organization has transformed from an anti Chinese organization to
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: a pro Chinese organization. So educating the public about what's
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: happening is the best thing we can do, and.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: That's what you do with the Washington Freebeacon. Elian and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Johnson's the editor in chief. Whenever I read a Freebeacon article,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I know it's accurate. It's the highest compliment I can
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: offer as an editor myself. Thanks Eliana, We'll be right back.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Is on with me him from the Washington Examiner as
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: well as Fox News Byron.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I want to touch on a couple of.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Your recent columns and thank you for being here with me.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Your latest one, a renewed war means renewed GOP midterm worries.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: This ends up a classic dilemma that we got even
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: those of us who have kind of given up on
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: the latest MoU and would like to see Trump just
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: vanquish the Iranian regime as best he can, and that
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: does provide a big headache. Politically, where do you think
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the public.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Is at on this war?
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: And you see a path for Trump to do some
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: lasting good in the Middle East and not make himself
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: too vulnerable to Democrat sweep in the midterms.
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: Well, first of all, on the substance of the matter,
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: Trump set out to ensure that Iran does not get
• 38:47
  Speaker 12: on nuclear weapon. Now, he can't do that forever, but
• 38:50
  Speaker 12: he can do it for a pretty long time, and
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: he's done that. As a matter of fact, I think
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: Hugh Hewitt published a column today saying it's going to
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: be years and years for Iran could reconstitute nuclear program.
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: So on the substance of the thing, the goal of
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: the war has been accomplished. Now, as far as public
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: opinion is concerned, most public opinion polls show, depending on
• 39:15
  Speaker 12: how you answer ask the question, show that disapproval being
• 39:20
  Speaker 12: about twice approval. In other words, it's about two to
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: one sixty plus percent disapproval to thirty plus approval. And now,
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: as far as the midterms are concerned, what is worriesome
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: to Republicans is not that a lot of Republican voters
• 39:38
  Speaker 12: are deeply concerned about the war. From what I can tell,
• 39:41
  Speaker 12: they're actually not all that concerned about the war, but
• 39:43
  Speaker 12: they're very concerned about the cost of living. So to
• 39:46
  Speaker 12: the degree that they see the war as increasing the
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: price of gas, which it has for a while, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: it has been going down, that's going back up. They
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: don't like that. And the most worrisome thing to a
• 40:00
  Speaker 12: number of Republican strategists right now is that they see
• 40:05
  Speaker 12: independent voters kind of thinking and acting like Democrats on
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: the war issue, meaning they oppose it. So they're worried
• 40:13
  Speaker 12: about that. They're not really worried about their Republicans voters
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: turning on Trump in the war or anything like that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: They're worried almost one hundred percent about cost of living issues,
• 40:23
  Speaker 12: but they are worried about independent sort of joining with
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: Democrats and opposing the war.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So I want to talk about another element of the
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: war which is important here, and I fundamentally agree with
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: you that he's done so much damage to Iranian's nuclear
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: program and their ability to have ballistic missiles and to
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: constitute a robust armed forces that is a conqueror in
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: the region. That feels like that's been set back a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: decade plus, maybe two decades, And I think that's a
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: w right there, but this strait continues to provide problems
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: because if there isn't free commerce through the strait, then
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I think Trump would see that as a setback, and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: I think the media would frame it pretty successfully as
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: a set back. And this does speak your cost of
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: living issues. So what is the path forward to keep
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the Straight going and smoothed over in the run of
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: this selection.
• 41:09
  Speaker 12: Well, it would be seen as a setback because it
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: would be a setback. It would substantively that would be
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: a really bad thing. And this is one of those
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: things that was created by the beginning of the war.
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: And so while I said that Trump has accomplished his
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: number one goal in the war, which is about the
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: nuclear program, what happened was is that Around's retaliation by
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: closing the Straight, created this new thing that became the
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: most important important issue in the war. So that's kind
• 41:48
  Speaker 12: of what's going on now. I think the only solution.
• 41:52
  Speaker 12: First of all, you really can't let Iran establish some
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: new precedent whereby a country takes international waters and turns
• 42:02
  Speaker 12: it into a sort of toll road. International navigation has
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: to be able to to go on freely, and so
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: that means that the United States probably has to militarily
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: assure the safety of shipping in the in the Strait
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: until the other nations, and this is other nations are
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: working on this uh finished workarounds to get oil out
• 42:31
  Speaker 12: of there without having the so making sure that the
• 42:36
  Speaker 12: Strait is just not this choke point that it is
• 42:38
  Speaker 12: right now. So the US is in a position for
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: the indefinite future of having to do something militarily to
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait, or the war
• 42:52
  Speaker 12: has ended with a really really bad negative.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and that'll be what we're all watching.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Barron.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: I went switch years here because you have another important
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: calm that asks, I think a important question what DSA wants.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: What the Democrats Socialists of America want. I've been playing
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: with this concept a little bit because they simultaneously want
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: socialism and open borders, which are impossible to both. I
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: think it's impossible to have either, but it's definitely impossible
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: to both. They seem to be focused larger than Israel,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: even though again we're talking about cost of living issues
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and we're talking about trying to have the workers be
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: able to be adequately represented within their companies and make
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: enough money but then also somehow we can't like Israel.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: It's a very odd amalgam of values.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: So what is it that they want?
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: Well, fortunately they told us in this new DSA platform
• 43:45
  Speaker 12: that was released recently. And you know, in terms of
• 43:48
  Speaker 12: international relations, you know, you would think that if a
• 43:52
  Speaker 12: political party was doing its platform, you would have something
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: to say about China, about Russia, Sure, what about Iran?
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: It has not at the only country it talks about
• 44:03
  Speaker 12: is a country that doesn't exist, which is Palestine. Deeply
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: concerned about Palestine. But you know, I don't think that's
• 44:10
  Speaker 12: the real lead of the platform, which is that it's
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: basically the platform itself is indistinguishable from communism. I mean,
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: basically everything is taken over by the government and it's
• 44:26
  Speaker 12: planning a picture of this wonderful new world in which
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: you control your own labor. I'll read it a little bit.
• 44:33
  Speaker 12: He says, you have no debt, you don't need health insurance,
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: you don't pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because
• 44:40
  Speaker 12: comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine,
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: and transportation are not for profit businesses. They are common
• 44:50
  Speaker 12: goods and utilities. So you have this wonderful new world
• 44:54
  Speaker 12: and a class of society that they claim to be
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: able to create basically by tax the rich. And this
• 45:02
  Speaker 12: is what brings in the famous Margaret Thatcher quote, which
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: is socialism fails because they always run out of other
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: people's money to spend. And apparently their platform is they
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: can confiscate enough wealth from the wealthiest people to give
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: everybody else everything.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: And you also know rightly in the column that they
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: want to destroy the government of the US as it
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: was created in the Constitution. They're openly talking about destroying
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the declargy of independence. Vital reporting from Barbaran New York

• 45:43
  Speaker 2: the poor. Most of us, or our kids or grandkids
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: have complained I'm starving in the past few days. I
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: know at least one of my kids did yesterday. But
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: in seventeen countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, starvation
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: really is a real thing, and the price of food
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: is skyrocketing, and many families are attempting to survive on
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: the equivalent of less than two dollars a day. More
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: often than not, Food for the Poor is finding that
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: parents and grandparents are losing the battle to feed their children.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: You guys won't play that cup for me.
• 46:12

• 46:15
  Speaker 13: crying for is a tortilla, Me tortiita, Mammy, Mi tortillita,
• 46:20
  Speaker 13: And the mother does not have it. When they hear
• 46:23
  Speaker 13: those christs from hunger, that must break their hearts to
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: say to them, we cannot feed you now.
• 46:29

  Speaker 2: All Right Back in business. I'm a Hugh Huge show
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: with me, Alex Marlow. James Lilex is on He's at
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Lilex l I l e k s on X the
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Everything app. He's at James Lyilex dot substack dot com.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: He goes to lilex dot com. I noticed that as well, James.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I'm been looking forward to this. It was great to
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: have you on last time I was in for Hugh.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: That was really fun segment, and I got a couple
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: of things I think are right up your ally here.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: The first thing is, I went on a pretty good
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: jag yesterday defending the status quo when it comes to
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: changing the clock. I'm told you're on the other end
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: of this debate. Tell me make the case for daylight
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: savings time.
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: Well, first of all.
• 49:55
  Speaker 15: I live in Minnesota, where in just a few months
• 49:57
  Speaker 15: from now, the sunates is going to come down hard
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: like an anvil, and it's going to be dark at
• 50:00
  Speaker 15: five o'clock.
• 50:01
  Speaker 10: And that's fitting for that time of year, I suppose,
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: and it.
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: Reminds us what life is like up here. But for now,
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: we have long, attenuated, beautiful summers in which the children
• 50:10
  Speaker 15: can gamble on the Elysian fields, and see the.
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: Fire it flies at nine o'clock at night.
• 50:16
  Speaker 15: And the idea that summer should end at eight, a
• 50:19
  Speaker 15: summer evening should close down at eight, and that hot
• 50:21
  Speaker 15: coin should be dropped beneath the trees too early.
• 50:25
  Speaker 10: No long summers, long summer hours. Now, those of you
• 50:29
  Speaker 10: who live in California doesn't matter. But those of us
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: who live in places with a temperamental climate, we love it.
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: And the idea that somehow well think about the kids.
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: I mean, there are two competing bills here.
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: One of them is the Sunshine Protection Act, which I'm
• 50:40
  Speaker 15: all in favor of protecting sunshine, and.
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: The other is the Sunshine for Our Kids Act.
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: And anything that has for our kids in the title
• 50:49
  Speaker 15: is something that I naturally have to oppose. And it
• 50:51
  Speaker 15: would say that, you know, well, it's better because the
• 50:53
  Speaker 15: kids can get up in the morning and get on
• 50:55
  Speaker 15: the bus.
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: Listen, getting up early in the morning.
• 50:58
  Speaker 15: And getting on the bus at dark is what life
• 50:59
  Speaker 15: is all about. And the sooner they learn it, the better.
• 51:02
  Speaker 15: So that basically is what I said.
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: It's a good lesson for.
• 51:04
  Speaker 15: The children and those of us who for summer is
• 51:07
  Speaker 15: a fleetingly short and vanishing quality. Love. I did a
• 51:10
  Speaker 15: piece on this for National Review. On my National Review
• 51:12
  Speaker 15: call them last week, I managed to crank up a
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: thousand words on the fact and paint those of you
• 51:17
  Speaker 15: like you standard freaks as the enemy of all that's good,
• 51:21
  Speaker 15: true and decent in the society.
• 51:23
  Speaker 10: But otherwise I love.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: You, okay, So let me see where we agree and
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: where I need some more convincing. So I don't want
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: to take people's sunshine during the summer. It's not my
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: personal position. So I do like the daylight savings time
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: during the summer. I do think that is great. And
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: I certainly echo your sentiment that anything with for our
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: kids in the bill must be quashed, only because I
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: don't like the colloquialism kids. I think if you use
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: the word children, maybe I would consider it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: But it's just too I oh no, it could be worse.
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: It could be for the kiddos.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: It could be there is another level, is okay, But
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: the heroes and the doggos, Yeah, okay. So I've got
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: young kids and they started school, So give me the
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: justification for why you believe that. Let's say, my four
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: year old who starts school for the first time coming
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: up here in the fall, Why she should spend her
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: first hour of the day in the dark.
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: Because there is an existential truth that they have to
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: learn at some point.
• 52:16
  Speaker 15: The idea that we rearrange everything so that the kids,
• 52:19
  Speaker 15: you know, are shivering in the dark. If you grow
• 52:22
  Speaker 15: up in North Dakota is I did you know a
• 52:24
  Speaker 15: large proportion of your life consists of shivering in the dark,
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: and it's better that they get a handle on it now. Now,
• 52:29
  Speaker 15: does that mean that you can't go down there with
• 52:31
  Speaker 15: the flashlight and the rest of it. That's perfectly fine,
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: bring a torch, as they say in Britain. But the
• 52:36
  Speaker 15: fact that everybody else has to change the thing so
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: the children can catch a few glimmering photons coming over
• 52:42
  Speaker 15: the horizon before the bus takes them off to put
• 52:44
  Speaker 15: them indoors for.
• 52:45
  Speaker 10: The rest of the day. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Not
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: the most convincing argument to me.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: You know what, It definitely is time for my four
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: year old baby girl, all thirty eight pounds of her,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: is time for her to start growing up. And I
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: think that this is the exact moment to start doing it. Okay,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: so they very strong case. So you mentioned Minnesota. How's
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: it going in Minnesota, because I feel like half the
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: time I'm reading a headline in Minnesota, something's actually horrible happening,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: or it's someone I really like has left California and
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: is now living in Minnesota on some massive acreage and
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: it sounds really nice.
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: So what is it?
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: It is?
• 53:19
  Speaker 15: Yeah, find your massive acreage outside of how it's an
• 53:21
  Speaker 15: absolutely beautiful states.
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: It's a gorgeous place, and I love it. Here in
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: the cities where I live.
• 53:25
  Speaker 15: We've had three mass shootings over the course of the
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: last seventy two hours, So there's that. But on the
• 53:29
  Speaker 15: other hand, I mean, I was at a wedding a
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: week ago in this magnificent cathedral in downtown Saint Paul,
• 53:34
  Speaker 15: and then went to this other magnificent former post office
• 53:37
  Speaker 15: in downtown Saint Paul. People to the streets now fear
• 53:40
  Speaker 15: of the rest of it, to the architecture of the wedding.
• 53:42
  Speaker 15: But whether gorgeous, it's still a great place to live.
• 53:45
  Speaker 15: What it's got its moments of insanity as every other place.
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: Does.
• 53:48
  Speaker 15: You know, we've got the DSA infecting our politics as
• 53:50
  Speaker 15: it's everybody else seems to be happy. And the other
• 53:53
  Speaker 15: thing is that we're very close to Canada. So we
• 53:55
  Speaker 15: got the fires, so we got this smoke, We got
• 53:57
  Speaker 15: this choking, weird smell as if not as if it
• 54:01
  Speaker 15: was burning, were artificial Christmas.
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: Tree for us or something.
• 54:04
  Speaker 15: It was just an odd, horrible petrochemical thing that made
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: my dog shriek and made everybody else just slump around.
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: But it's gone. The pristine winds have blown.
• 54:13
  Speaker 15: It away, and it's another beautiful day here in a
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: place that I still am proud to call home.
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: But Canada, you know, we got this paraffing going out.
• 54:20
  Speaker 10: Heard about this?
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: No explain to me.
• 54:25
  Speaker 10: I sound like one of those late night commers. What's
• 54:27
  Speaker 10: this tariff thing we got here? Yeah? Well, Trump is
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: a fifty percent tariff.
• 54:31
  Speaker 15: On certain Canadian products, and I was looking to see
• 54:33
  Speaker 15: exactly what they were here.
• 54:34
  Speaker 10: I think is a good story of where we are.
• 54:36
  Speaker 10: According to Al Jazeero's the first story that came up today.
• 54:39
  Speaker 15: The tariffs announced on Monday I cover a range of
• 54:41
  Speaker 15: items including wine, cement, and hockey sticks.
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: Bouchet there you go.
• 54:50
  Speaker 15: I mean, if the hockey price sticks doubled here, maybe
• 54:54
  Speaker 15: stimulate our domestic hockey stick industry, but what Canada will
• 54:58
  Speaker 15: end up paying is higher viewings on because they have
• 55:00
  Speaker 15: premiums and tariffs on are alcohol, automobile and dairy products.
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: So which nation do you want to be cement, wine
• 55:07
  Speaker 15: and hockey sticks or cars, woos and cheese.
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: I'm going to take the latter.
• 55:12
  Speaker 15: So I don't like tariffs in general, but you know,
• 55:15
  Speaker 15: we'll have to live with a hockey stick problem.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: It's also news to me that we're we're importing a
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: bunch of Canadian wine.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: That seems very odd.
• 55:24
  Speaker 15: That one struck me as well too, because maybe that's
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: what we're smelling in the in the in the forest
• 55:28
  Speaker 15: is some of their you know, they've they've torched their
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: vineyards out of shame. Canadian wine is not really one
• 55:32
  Speaker 15: of those things that plays large in the American imagination.
• 55:35
  Speaker 15: I've never seen anybody go into a place and take
• 55:36
  Speaker 15: a sip and say this isn't Canadian.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: You know, at the local steakhouse, they're always given the
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: you know, the NAPA region and France and Italy, but
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: I don't recall the special page dedicated to the Canadian wine.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: What's interesting, also, yeah, is that they've got the Canadian whiskey,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: and it feels like there's a whole country of people
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: who are drinking NonStop, and the Canadian whiskey is not
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: nearly as good as them, and whiskey and we have
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: other stuff to do during the day.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: No, it isn't.
• 56:04
  Speaker 15: It's very easy to make Canadian whiskey. Just take actual
• 56:06
  Speaker 15: American whiskey and add some water to it, and it's light,
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: it's it's, it's, it's, it's in substantially.
• 56:11
  Speaker 10: It'll doing a pinch, it'll do in a mix.
• 56:13
  Speaker 15: But it's been a long time since Canadian whisky played
• 56:15
  Speaker 15: any part of the American imagine it completely. Anything Canadian,
• 56:19
  Speaker 15: except for Dudley do Right, has played a large amount.
• 56:21
  Speaker 15: And I love Canada and I love Canadians, and I
• 56:23
  Speaker 15: wish we weren't having this spat. But the old ouion
• 56:26
  Speaker 15: of them is a sort of, you know, a version
• 56:29
  Speaker 15: of the Upper Midwest kind of people, solitary and proud
• 56:32
  Speaker 15: and hard working, and the rest of it seems to
• 56:35
  Speaker 15: have evolved into this strange sort of pseudo European quasis
• 56:40
  Speaker 15: press progressive.
• 56:41
  Speaker 10: Nonsense that we really it's a pity to have it
• 56:44
  Speaker 10: so close to us.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Amazing Sun James violence, can you say thing for four
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: more minutes? Well, sure, let's do it and be right

  Speaker 2: at lilex on the Everything app and lilex dot com
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: James, I had to ask you about Taco Bell.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Have you been eating a lot of Taco Bell up
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: there in Minnesota? Did the latest virus outbreak did it
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: impact a lot of your nutritional decisions over last week
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: or so?
• 57:42
  Speaker 15: No?
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: And I don't say that as somebody who wants to
• 57:45
  Speaker 10: dump on Taco Bell. Perhaps that's the wrong word. I
• 57:48
  Speaker 10: love Taco Bell. I absolutely love Taco Bell.
• 57:50
  Speaker 15: I love the way they've been able to take three
• 57:52
  Speaker 15: or four ingredients and over the course of the twenty
• 57:54
  Speaker 15: five years find combinations and fake Spanish words for it,
• 57:57
  Speaker 15: and in vences it's delicious. I will go there when
• 58:00
  Speaker 15: I'm in the midst of something that keeps me from
• 58:04
  Speaker 15: eating normal human food. And when I was moving it
• 58:06
  Speaker 15: two or three months ago, I found myself there a
• 58:08
  Speaker 15: weekly and what that meant was I would take too
• 58:10
  Speaker 15: many sauce packets.
• 58:11
  Speaker 10: Oh I'm sorry.
• 58:12
  Speaker 15: I took five diabolos when I should have only needed three,
• 58:15
  Speaker 15: and consequently ended up with a substantial quantity of taco
• 58:18
  Speaker 15: bell sauces, which keep forever.
• 58:20
  Speaker 10: They're like honey in King Tut's tomb.
• 58:23
  Speaker 15: When they open up this apartment in a thousand years,
• 58:25
  Speaker 15: they will find that the sauce it's just as.
• 58:27
  Speaker 10: Piquent as it ever was. But no, I haven't gotten there.
• 58:30
  Speaker 15: I really haven't, and I have been very keen about
• 58:32
  Speaker 15: Whenever I get some produce home and you wash it
• 58:35
  Speaker 15: as you are instructed to do, you run it under
• 58:38
  Speaker 15: the sink and you think, somehow is the pressure from
• 58:40
  Speaker 15: this tap sufficient to blow whatever fecal contamination has insinuated itself.
• 58:45
  Speaker 10: In the folds of the lettuce. I don't know, but
• 58:47
  Speaker 10: if it's wet, it's probably safe.
• 58:49
  Speaker 15: And when you think about it, it's very organic to
• 58:52
  Speaker 15: have produce that is contaminated with this sort of thing.
• 58:55
  Speaker 15: That's about as organic as you get because organisms natural.
• 58:59
  Speaker 10: Consider of all these little weed beasties in.
• 59:01
  Speaker 15: Our food that are content to lay us low for
• 59:03
  Speaker 15: a couple of days with explosive outflows.
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so no it hasn't.
• 59:07
  Speaker 15: But I'm going to wait for it to die down
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: before i actually head back to Run for the Border.
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: Maybe isn't a word that they should have put in
• 59:14
  Speaker 10: their title?
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. The run the Runs part, Yeah,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: that's definitely.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: It's a great point.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: And thank you for mentioning fecal contaminants. We hadn't had
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: that shout out on the show. Shout out fecal contaminants.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: I was just looking it up. The crunch wrap Supreme
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: is not a real Mexican dish. The Mexican pizza is
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: not a real dish. The Dorito's Locos taco, the cheesy
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Gordiita crunch, none of these are actually real things in Mexico,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: which is very so that's cultural appropriation and that's one
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: of the things that is we want to condemn that.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: But James, would you've ever bet it was the lettuce
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: that was going to be what caused the problem of
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: all the menu had into Taco Bell.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: It's the lettuce.
• 59:49
  Speaker 10: Oh, yes, absolutely, it's always the lettuce. It's always the lettuce.
• 59:53
  Speaker 15: It always comes down to that stuff and gets from
• 59:55
  Speaker 15: the fields that's been fertilized with night soil or some
• 59:58
  Speaker 15: strange thing where they ran out of enough, you know,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 15: the chemical stuff organically, so you know, a lot of
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 15: fertilizers come from you know, various fine quarter regions.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: So no, I wasn't surprised at all. It wasn't going
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 10: to be the cheese.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 15: Possibly could be the meat, probably not going to be
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 15: some perforation in your digestive system from the show.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 10: Always it's the lettuce. Always.
• 1:00:18
