0:06
Speaker 1: Emma Jo show today. Always happy to have Emma Jo
0:09
Speaker 1: on the show.
0:09
Speaker 2: She's a consultant for Beckenstone, famous for the laptop from hell,
0:13
Speaker 2: reporting that she did the New York Post and famous
0:15
Speaker 2: for her work for me at Breitbart News. She's at
0:17
Speaker 2: Emma Jo NYC on the Everything app. Emma, so you
0:20
Speaker 2: got two kids, first Halloween with two kids. Were they
0:22
Speaker 2: dressing ass?
0:23
Speaker 3: Wait, no, pause before this. You just brought up my creds,
0:28
Speaker 3: and I have to tell you this. I told you
0:31
Speaker 3: off-cam I was at the Encounter Gala, and Matt Taylor
0:34
Speaker 3: was there, and he was introducing me to somebody, and
0:37
Speaker 3: he was like, obviously, you know, she's famous for the
0:40
Speaker 3: laptop from hell. And I was like, that's actually not
0:42
Speaker 3: what I'm famous for at all. I'm famous for the
0:44
Speaker 3: first person reported column at Breitbart news. Uh, when I
0:49
Speaker 3: hung out with an illegal alien and then he sent
0:51
Speaker 3: me a dick pic actually.
0:52
Speaker 4: That is, you are famous for that.
0:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
0:55
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't bring that up enough. I
0:57
Speaker 3: was like, Matt Taylor, please cite my art. Um, my
1:02
Speaker 3: true work. And the first question I got was, was
1:06
Speaker 3: it nice? And I had to, I just said, he's
1:09
Speaker 3: not my type.
1:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:11
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he's your type, knowing what I know
1:13
Speaker 1: about you. Yeah.
1:15
Speaker 2: This column, for those of you, and Misty, I know
1:18
Speaker 2: you're here, we can put this in the show notes.
1:19
Speaker 2: My day with a Biden migrant broke, abandoned, and lost
1:23
Speaker 2: in New York.
1:23
Speaker 4: And it does.
1:25
Speaker 2: But the real fun conversation was when I was editing this,
1:29
Speaker 2: I was thinking like, do we post the dick pic
1:31
Speaker 2: in the article? And this was, this is part of
1:34
Speaker 2: the fun of editing a website like mine, because Breitbart,
1:37
Speaker 2: you know, we're best known for politics reporting, news curation.
1:41
Speaker 2: But every so often, I have a really fun question about,
1:45
Speaker 2: it's not the first time, you know, we still have
1:47
Speaker 2: one from Anthony Weiner that we internally refer to as
1:50
Speaker 2: the majestic that we've never unsheathed.
1:54
Speaker 4: We've never unsheathed it to the world. And we have it.
1:59
Speaker 2: So if we're ever that desperate for content, but look,
2:04
Speaker 2: we don't want to do sex scandals.
2:06
Speaker 1: Well, that has news value, actually.
2:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we put out the ones that add news value,
2:11
Speaker 2: but just the angry.
2:13
Speaker 4: It's angry. Let's put it that way. It's an angry erection.
2:18
Speaker 1: I cannot. There we go. We already got.
2:19
Speaker 2: An explicit button for all my kids, no, not to
2:22
Speaker 2: listen to the show for Spotify, like already two minutes in.
2:27
Speaker 1: Anyone in the.
2:27
Speaker 3: Car has ripped the show down very quickly. Yeah.
2:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:33
Speaker 2: You guys got to pay attention to that button because
2:35
Speaker 2: I know that most of my shows you can listen
2:37
Speaker 2: to in the car, at least for like teenagers and up,
2:39
Speaker 2: but this is.
2:40
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what to say.
2:41
Speaker 1: But what are they dressing as? I want to hear.
2:43
Speaker 3: Oh, right.
2:43
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:44
Speaker 3: So I'm going to be the worst podcast guest, the
2:48
Speaker 3: worst parent, the worst person, maybe, all at once, because
2:54
Speaker 3: I'm trying to stave off Halloween as long as possible.
2:58
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you why. Maybe you can appreciate this.
3:00
Speaker 3: I was actually, I was discussing this with my boss,
3:02
Speaker 3: who is also a Christian, not a Catholic, but Protestant.
3:06
Speaker 3: We had the same idea, which was, The spiritual energy
3:11
Speaker 3: of it is.
3:14
Speaker 1: Not something that I want to encourage.
3:19
Speaker 3: I don't, I'm not going to say that it violates
3:22
Speaker 3: my religion outright because I don't think it does, especially
3:25
Speaker 3: in the way that, you know, kids celebrate. I mean,
3:27
Speaker 3: we're not, you know, summoning spirits or whatever. So I'm
3:31
Speaker 3: kind of trying to wait till they ask me to
3:33
Speaker 3: because their friends are doing it. But I don't want
3:35
Speaker 3: to be like, hey, kids, let's all celebrate this pagan holiday.
3:39
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. Like it's like half a value. Sure.
3:43
Speaker 1: Sort of, but not a serious one.
3:45
Speaker 3: Like not one that I'm going to start a fight
3:46
Speaker 3: with them over when they're six, but I'm kind of
3:49
Speaker 3: trying to wait till they try to start a fight
3:50
Speaker 3: over it when they're six.
3:52
Speaker 1: I understand.
3:53
Speaker 2: And the audience knows full well, I don't agree and
3:56
Speaker 2: I won't spend the whole time on it, but it's the, but,
3:59
Speaker 2: but you're, you're in here just out today. I've got
4:01
Speaker 2: a discussion with John Nolte on the podcast feed where
4:04
Speaker 2: we talk about, can Christians embrace Halloween?
4:07
Speaker 4: And, Particularly horror movies.
4:10
Speaker 2: And it's funny because if you go through some of
4:12
Speaker 2: the greatest pop culture art in history from a Christian perspective,
4:19
Speaker 2: The Exorcist might be the best piece of Christian filmmaking ever.
4:23
Speaker 2: And it's also the best horror movie ever, arguably. And
4:27
Speaker 2: it's like the fact that it's the same thing. It
4:29
Speaker 2: is all about someone's struggle with faith and how overcoming
4:32
Speaker 2: faith is the only way to beat back pure evil.
4:35
Speaker 2: and how evil comes for even the most innocent among us.
4:37
Speaker 2: And there, there's so much great Christian wisdom in there.
4:39
Speaker 2: And so, um, yeah, that's interesting.
4:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's, it is.
4:45
Speaker 2: And I only go through it quickly cause I, the
4:47
Speaker 2: regular listeners have heard me make that point too often.
4:50
Speaker 1: Uh, but it's the, no, but it's the, the, I'm
4:52
Speaker 1: all in on it. I love the spooky stuff.
4:53
Speaker 4: It's fun.
4:54
Speaker 3: It's also, it's funny cause that's what my boss, Andrew
4:57
Speaker 3: Beck said to me when we were talking about it,
4:59
Speaker 3: we were chatting in DC. I was there last weekend,
5:01
Speaker 3: this week, whatever. And, uh, He was saying there's an
5:04
Speaker 3: opportunity to Christianize it if you introduce it. And I
5:08
Speaker 3: thought that that was an interesting take. And that's basically
5:11
Speaker 3: the same take you're making, which is, you know, it's
5:14
Speaker 3: not unchristian or, in my case, non-Jewish to confront, like,
5:19
Speaker 3: you know, the evil inclination or, like, the concept of
5:22
Speaker 3: evil possession.
5:23
Speaker 1: It just depends on how you talk about it. Perhaps
5:27
Speaker 1: it's my lack of creativity.
5:30
Speaker 2: Well, I think that you're free to work it out,
5:33
Speaker 2: and I think that— is your eldest two now?
5:35
Speaker 1: Yes. Okay, so you got a little time.
5:38
Speaker 2: Well, my two-year-old will be going— this is kind of obscure,
5:43
Speaker 2: but my two-year-old will be going as a very famous
5:46
Speaker 2: former ambassador to Czechoslovakia, who is better known as child
5:51
Speaker 2: actress and singer Shirley Temple. So— Did you meet Duchess
5:56
Speaker 2: Marlowe Jr.? Yes, I did. She was like just a baby.
6:00
Speaker 1: I think she was... She was just a baby.
6:02
Speaker 2: So she's got that corkscrew curly hair. She looks like
6:07
Speaker 2: she's from another era. And it's one of these things
6:10
Speaker 2: where it is my pride and joy literally seeing her
6:14
Speaker 2: lights up my... Nothing makes.
6:18
Speaker 4: Me happier than seeing this baby.
6:20
Speaker 2: And It is something that I just hope she doesn't
6:22
Speaker 2: hate me for the curly hair when she grows up.
6:25
Speaker 2: But she does look like she's from a time machine,
6:27
Speaker 2: which is interesting. I don't know why that is. I mean,
6:30
Speaker 2: she dresses in the same stuff normal kids dress in,
6:32
Speaker 2: but you see her face and it's like she was
6:34
Speaker 2: born at a different time.
6:35
Speaker 1: No, totally.
6:36
Speaker 3: And she has such an iconic look. It's actually, it's
6:40
Speaker 3: very 60s and very adorable. I can't imagine that there's
6:43
Speaker 3: going to be any beef.
6:44
Speaker 6: No, no.
6:45
Speaker 2: So she's going to be, she is going to be
6:47
Speaker 2: Shirley Temple. She looks just like Shirley Temple. And then
6:50
Speaker 2: I'm going to be a sailor to go with her.
6:53
Speaker 1: Oh my God, that's so cute. Got the sailor outfit going. See,
6:58
Speaker 1: this is the whole thing.
6:59
Speaker 2: If the internet wasn't completely ruined, then all of you
7:02
Speaker 2: would get pictures of my beautiful family on that.
7:04
Speaker 1: I was just thinking that.
7:06
Speaker 3: I was thinking the audience is getting killed here because
7:09
Speaker 3: they just have no idea how cute Marlo's family is
7:13
Speaker 3: and never will.
7:14
Speaker 2: Well, that's the whole thing, is that I think about, like,
7:17
Speaker 2: what if I got an even more high-profile job than
7:19
Speaker 2: I have now? It's like, are people going to try
7:21
Speaker 2: to kidnap my kids? You know, worry about that stuff.
7:23
Speaker 2: It's just such a horrible, why we're like this. And
7:25
Speaker 2: it's all thanks to the internet, which we all just,
7:28
Speaker 2: there's never a downside, which is always just all positivity
7:30
Speaker 2: from the internet. But, yeah, but so Ami Saylor, she's
7:33
Speaker 2: going to be Shirley Temple. And then we've got the
7:37
Speaker 2: other girls are going to be mermaids and just fantastic
7:42
Speaker 2: mermaid costumes.
7:43
Speaker 1: Oh, my God, that is so cool.
7:44
Speaker 2: Cute yeah yeah so and then um my second son
7:48
Speaker 2: is going to be shohei otani um and we got
7:52
Speaker 2: all the dodger gear he looked awesome and then my
7:55
Speaker 2: eldest son master marlo he's going to be indiana jones
7:58
Speaker 2: which i find funny because it's a great costume and
8:01
Speaker 2: he they wore to school today the day we're recording
8:04
Speaker 2: the day which is the friday before halloween he looked
8:08
Speaker 2: perfect but i was just wondering how will anyone in
8:10
Speaker 2: the elementary school know Indiana Jones? Cause over a 40
8:13
Speaker 2: year old character and it doesn't feel that old, but
8:17
Speaker 2: it is like it's over 40 years since Indiana Jones.
8:20
Speaker 1: So it's just death blow to millennials. Yeah, it really is.
8:23
Speaker 2: It sounds like in case you weren't worried about being
8:25
Speaker 2: on the brink of death, just to just know that
8:28
Speaker 2: Indiana Jones. So I'd say no, but, but we, we,
8:32
Speaker 2: we do it up good. You know, I'm a pumpkin
8:34
Speaker 2: carving expert. So I will, if the pumpkins turn out,
8:37
Speaker 2: It's a very odd skill. I have almost no, my
8:41
Speaker 2: fine motor is not good. I've got good major motor function.
8:45
Speaker 2: So I'm good at ball sports and stuff, but the
8:48
Speaker 2: fine motor is never good. Never anything at art. It
8:51
Speaker 2: was the, it was a struggle, but for whatever reason.
8:55
Speaker 3: Cutting along the line that you draw with the Sharpie.
9:01
Speaker 2: And people, if you scroll back far enough, we've kind
9:03
Speaker 2: of spammed it with all the clips of the podcast
9:05
Speaker 2: over the last year. But if you scroll back far
9:06
Speaker 2: enough on the Marlowe News Instagram feed that the, you
9:09
Speaker 2: will see my pumpkin carving acumen and you can't tell
9:12
Speaker 2: the difference between the plastic ones and the ones I carve.
9:15
Speaker 4: I'm that good.
9:16
Speaker 2: It's a, that is something that is, the audience might
9:18
Speaker 2: not know this about me. But that is a, my
9:21
Speaker 2: jam is pumpkin carving.
9:23
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're fine. Motor skills aren't doing too bad.
9:25
Speaker 2: No, but if I'm saying it's an odd exception, it's
9:29
Speaker 2: an odd exception.
9:29
Speaker 1: Like I could barely sign my name and then I
9:32
Speaker 1: certainly can't draw.
9:34
Speaker 4: And then it's just like the thought of drawing something.
9:37
Speaker 2: I see people draw something that looks like a Simpsons character,
9:41
Speaker 2: something pretty rudimentary.
9:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:42
Speaker 2: And I feel like, honestly, the stuff Oppenheimer was doing
9:47
Speaker 2: to develop the atomic bomb, that's more accessible to my
9:50
Speaker 2: brain than how you.
9:51
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone just needs their medium.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yeah right so it's the medium is just pumpkins it's
9:59
Speaker 2: just pumpkins that's it it's just it's look sometimes you
10:04
Speaker 2: get blessed with really useful skills like um like dunking
10:07
Speaker 2: a basketball you can make a lot of money doing
10:09
Speaker 2: that um and then sometimes you have skills that are
10:12
Speaker 2: pretty much worthless which is Once a year, I get
10:14
Speaker 2: to have the best jack-o'-lantern on my street.
10:18
Speaker 1: See, this is where I'm Jewish and you're not.
10:22
Speaker 3: Because I'm thinking to myself, you could probably make as
10:25
Speaker 3: much money as a ballplayer, as a mediocre ballplayer in
10:29
Speaker 3: your neighborhood, carving really nice pumpkins for Halloween. I've seen
10:33
Speaker 3: tons of articles about this. There's pumpkin stylists. who come
10:38
Speaker 3: and you pay them $ 500 and they will come and
10:41
Speaker 3: style pumpkins on your walkway to make them cute.
10:44
Speaker 1: I believe that.
10:45
Speaker 3: If you have a skill that somebody could put on Instagram,
10:49
Speaker 3: you could charge top dollar for.
10:53
Speaker 1: Them to just take pics of whatever you do. I
10:56
Speaker 1: believe it.
10:57
Speaker 2: I had a funny thought similar along these lines. We
10:59
Speaker 2: went to a Halloween carnival. It's called the Night of
11:02
Speaker 2: the Jack. which meant that I was making a lot
11:05
Speaker 2: of Jack jokes, a lot of Jack in it, jokes,
11:09
Speaker 2: all that.
11:10
Speaker 1: Dr.
11:10
Speaker 2: Barlow had to endure some of the worst, the worst
11:13
Speaker 2: men of a certain age humor that day. But we
11:16
Speaker 2: went to this thing, but it was a, it's like
11:18
Speaker 2: a mile long trail of Halloween spooky stuff for design
11:22
Speaker 2: for kind of little to medium age kids that's in
11:25
Speaker 2: the Calabasas Malibu area of L.A., And it was very impressive.
11:29
Speaker 2: And they did a really great job. And I'm a
11:31
Speaker 2: free unsolicited plug. But a lot of it is pumpkin art.
11:34
Speaker 2: Like the best stuff is pumpkin art.
11:35
Speaker 1: Right.
11:36
Speaker 2: And they take it to a level that's completely unfathomable
11:38
Speaker 2: for me. And then they will piece all these pumpkins
11:42
Speaker 2: together like a jigsaw puzzle. And then they'll carve into it.
11:46
Speaker 2: So it's not just one jack-o'-lantern. It'll be 14 pumpkins
11:50
Speaker 2: working together to look like a rhinoceros or something.
11:53
Speaker 1: And it was so unbelievable.
11:55
Speaker 2: And as someone who's been known to carve a pumpkin
11:57
Speaker 2: from time to time, The fact that I was just,
11:58
Speaker 2: you know, pushing a stroller past and saying, oh, that's
12:01
Speaker 2: pretty good. And then just moving on. Someone who clearly
12:04
Speaker 2: spent a lifetime, not just whatever it took to carve
12:06
Speaker 2: the pumpkins. It's like a lifetime of skill to do that.
12:08
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, they spent all year planning for it.
12:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
12:13
Speaker 2: And just ridiculously impressive. And we don't appreciate enough. But
12:17
Speaker 2: you've artists in the family. So like you're like an
12:19
Speaker 2: art household, right?
12:20
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, no, that's, well, yes, my wife has a
12:23
Speaker 1: fine art degree. She's really brilliant.
12:26
Speaker 3: She isn't selling art, but yeah, I mean, her art's
12:28
Speaker 3: all around and she's making art now much more too
12:31
Speaker 3: since she's been staying at home. And I mean, yeah,
12:34
Speaker 3: like definitely aesthetics. I actually do pay attention to aesthetics.
12:38
Speaker 3: I could see myself probably walking through that. And if
12:40
Speaker 3: it's like actually good, I mean, some stuff is just like,
12:43
Speaker 3: like kitschy, but like if it's actually good, I could
12:46
Speaker 3: appreciate a pumpkin mosaic.
12:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a pumpkin mosaic is what it is. So anyway,
12:53
Speaker 4: all right.
12:53
Speaker 2: I was doing way too much pumpkin talk today or
12:55
Speaker 2: maybe not enough pumpkin talk for some of you.
12:57
Speaker 1: Some of you will no doubt get into my email
13:00
Speaker 1: and say that, hey, we're going to have 50 comments.
13:03
Speaker 4: More pumpkin time. More pumpkin time.
13:05
Speaker 2: We got the biggest election of our lives just days
13:07
Speaker 2: away and all Alex and Emma are doing talking about pumpkins.
13:11
Speaker 2: But I got a great segue because when I went
13:13
Speaker 2: to the local pumpkin patch.
13:16
Speaker 1: I spent.
13:17
Speaker 2: $ 150.
13:22
Speaker 4: On pumpkins.
13:24
Speaker 2: And I could not believe it, that that was the case,
13:27
Speaker 2: but that's how much it costs now to get, I
13:29
Speaker 2: got three pumpkins and that cost.
13:31
Speaker 1: Me $ 150. Three pumpkins?
13:36
Speaker 4: Three pumpkins.
13:37
Speaker 1: I got some big ones.
13:38
Speaker 2: Again, look, I'm not pumpkin maxing, but I'm certainly not
13:42
Speaker 2: pumpkin minning here, okay?
13:45
Speaker 1: I'm into it.
13:45
Speaker 2: But that said- The prices are crazy, and the prices
13:48
Speaker 2: of everything are crazy. And then, so this is our
13:51
Speaker 2: segue to the affordability part of the conversation.
13:55
Speaker 4: There was a very viral clip.
13:56
Speaker 1: That was very artful.
14:00
Speaker 4: We are professional, if nothing else, here on The Marla Show.
14:03
Speaker 2: So this is the clip of the week, and I've
14:05
Speaker 2: been saving it specifically to talk to you, Emma.
14:07
Speaker 1: Everyone will have seen this clip by now.
14:09
Speaker 2: But this is the Red Baron pizza guy who's stocking
14:12
Speaker 2: a Uh, he's stocking a freezer filled with frozen pizzas.
14:18
Speaker 1: I've had a red beer and pizza. It was pretty good.
14:20
Speaker 1: I haven't had one in 20 years, but it was,
14:21
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad. Uh, it's the, but they're, they're everywhere.
14:24
Speaker 4: They're in every grocery store.
14:25
Speaker 2: And some wannabe influencer comes up to him and says,
14:30
Speaker 2: tries to trick him to reacting to him. And then
14:32
Speaker 2: he claims he stole money from his phone, uh, which
14:35
Speaker 2: is not true. And the guy is triggered, but everything
14:37
Speaker 2: he says makes a lot of sense to a lot
14:40
Speaker 2: of people.
14:40
Speaker 4: Let me play some of this for all of you
14:42
Speaker 4: and get him his thoughts.
14:44
Speaker 1: At 5 in the.
14:45
Speaker 6: Morning and do 10 more stores. So this is not
14:48
Speaker 6: a joke to me.
14:49
Speaker 3: Okay.
14:50
Speaker 1: Hey, excuse me. You know what time it is, bro? 11.45.
14:54
Speaker 4: What are.
14:57
Speaker 6: You doing? Dude, thank you, bro.
15:01
Speaker 1: I just took $ 10 out of you. You don't have
15:02
Speaker 1: to right now, okay? But I need it. But I
15:06
Speaker 1: need it real quick.
15:07
Speaker 7: I am not aiming for this crap right now.
15:09
Speaker 1: Apple pie? Dude, you hear me?
15:11
Speaker 5: I just need to buy something real quick, though.
15:13
Speaker 1: You think this is funny, don't you? You recording me
15:15
Speaker 1: right now? You recording me right now? No, I'm gonna
15:19
Speaker 1: go report you. Alright, bye, boss. Thank you for the $ 20, man.
15:24
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
15:24
Speaker 3: Let's go outside, buddy.
15:27
Speaker 8: Are you for real, bro?
15:28
Speaker 1: It is not that deep. It is not that. I mean,
15:31
Speaker 1: if you really want.
15:31
Speaker 8: To go outside.
15:32
Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on, but I don't need this.
15:35
Speaker 1: It's not that deep, man.
15:36
Speaker 8: It was just a joke.
15:37
Speaker 1: It was just a joke, bro. It was just a joke. No,
15:41
Speaker 1: it's not a joke to me, okay? I don't have
15:43
Speaker 1: time for this crap in my life. My life is
15:44
Speaker 1: hard enough as it is. Okay, I don't need this crap.
15:47
Speaker 6: I got kids at home that went to bed without
15:49
Speaker 6: me right now.
15:50
Speaker 1: And I was supposed to be at home an hour ago.
15:52
Speaker 6: And I'm still out here working. And I got to
15:55
Speaker 6: get up at 5 in the morning and do 10
15:57
Speaker 6: more stores. So this is not a joke to me.
16:01
Speaker 6: And now I'm probably going to get kicked out of
16:02
Speaker 6: the store because of you.
16:05
Speaker 1: Not funny!
16:07
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry.
16:08
Speaker 6: No, you're not sorry.
16:09
Speaker 1: You got a smug look on your face. I'm sorry, bro.
16:13
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
16:13
Speaker 6: I don't need this in my life.
16:15
Speaker 1: No, I get you. No, you don't. You're probably making
16:17
Speaker 1: money off this. I can't even pay my goddamn mortgage.
16:21
Speaker 1: And I got four kids at home.
16:23
Speaker 6: So not funny!
16:25
Speaker 5: I got you.
16:26
Speaker 2: I'm going to leave.
16:28
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave.
16:29
Speaker 6: You better not be out there when I do leave.
16:32
Speaker 1: Leave. Go. Now.
16:35
Speaker 3: You have a good night.
16:38
Speaker 1: All right.
16:39
Speaker 4: Emma, you first.
16:40
Speaker 1: Tough.
16:41
Speaker 3: So tough to watch. I feel that. I feel that
16:44
Speaker 3: very viscerally. And every time I watch it, I have
16:46
Speaker 3: the same reaction. It really strikes a chord. And I
16:50
Speaker 3: brought this up. I think I brought this up. I
16:52
Speaker 3: sort of brushed against it on the last show about
16:55
Speaker 3: how there's You know, something deeper going on than just
16:59
Speaker 3: like the regular economic metrics, I think, that we look at.
17:02
Speaker 3: And I think we have more content that speaks to
17:04
Speaker 3: this for this show as well, where it's like technically
17:07
Speaker 3: I think the metrics are not so bad on what
17:10
Speaker 3: we usually measure the economy with. But there's something underneath,
17:15
Speaker 3: like almost like in the foundation of the economy that
17:17
Speaker 3: feels really wrong. And that guy was talking about, I mean,
17:20
Speaker 3: we don't know what time this was shot, but he's
17:22
Speaker 3: talking about obviously he's missing bedtime. So that's what, like
17:25
Speaker 3: eight o'clock and then he's, and he's working. And then
17:28
Speaker 3: he's saying that he has to wake up at five
17:29
Speaker 3: o'clock to continue working. And then he's also clearly on
17:34
Speaker 3: the brink financially and he has four kids at home.
17:37
Speaker 3: And that is, and, and, and he's clearly by the way, also, um, like,
17:44
Speaker 3: like at his breaking point emotionally, um, aside from financially.
17:49
Speaker 1: So it's like, you're watching that.
17:52
Speaker 3: And I think that the reason why it went so
17:54
Speaker 3: viral is because I think there's a lot of people
17:57
Speaker 3: who live like that in this country. And I mean,
17:59
Speaker 3: it's not a thought, it's a fact. And that's not
18:03
Speaker 3: the way it's supposed to be. As an American, you're
18:04
Speaker 3: supposed to be able to have like a regular job.
18:07
Speaker 1: Like, look, not.
18:07
Speaker 3: Everybody is going to be doing laptop work or like
18:11
Speaker 3: super intellectual work or whatever. Like, you know, we're in
18:14
Speaker 3: journalism and like consulting and that's not, not everybody's going
18:18
Speaker 3: to do that. And that said, you should be able
18:20
Speaker 3: to live in this country with a normal job and
18:23
Speaker 3: have your four kids and not be, I guess, figuratively
18:26
Speaker 3: on your knees every month. And it speaks to, I think,
18:32
Speaker 3: something simmering that isn't often paid attention to because it
18:38
Speaker 3: doesn't have necessarily like a news hook day to day,
18:40
Speaker 3: but is, is.
18:44
Speaker 1: Probably explains a lot of political trends. And I have
18:48
Speaker 1: more to say about that.
18:49
Speaker 3: I think that this sentiment exactly obviously explains MAGA, but
18:52
Speaker 3: it also explains DSA.
18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.
18:55
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I want to go. Yeah, I'll do
18:57
Speaker 2: a quick comment on the video itself, because I haven't
18:59
Speaker 2: had a chance to. And then that's exactly where I
19:01
Speaker 2: want you to take it, is that who does this
19:03
Speaker 2: favor more politically? And I would have said MAGA forever,
19:06
Speaker 2: and then now not necessarily, but yeah, but just some
19:09
Speaker 2: stuff in there, which is just so, I.
19:11
Speaker 1: Know you guys can rewind if you need to see
19:13
Speaker 1: the video again.
19:15
Speaker 2: But first of all, the presumably Gen Z kid is
19:19
Speaker 2: creating content online by trying to do a prank because
19:22
Speaker 2: we have a culture now where pranksters online are the,
19:26
Speaker 2: these are the most popular jobs for people, you know,
19:29
Speaker 2: under 35 in this country is, is no longer being
19:31
Speaker 2: a movie star, even being a sports star is people
19:33
Speaker 2: want to be an online influencer and where they get
19:36
Speaker 2: online clout. And the most popular online influencers are pranksters,
19:40
Speaker 2: or literally people who just prank people, which is just
19:43
Speaker 2: something that is often mean-spirited. This was obviously very mean-spirited.
19:47
Speaker 2: And so doing mean-spirited pranks is what... is the main
19:51
Speaker 2: currency on the TikTok platform and many other platforms. And
19:54
Speaker 2: a lot of these streaming platforms as well. So he
19:57
Speaker 2: says that, what time is it? And the guy innocently
20:00
Speaker 2: was going to offer his time. He pulls his phone
20:02
Speaker 2: out because most people are not wearing watches now. They
20:04
Speaker 2: use their phone for time. And then he says, I
20:06
Speaker 2: stole $ 10 from you. And then the guy yells at him.
20:09
Speaker 2: And everything he yelled was, of course, accurate. I loved
20:11
Speaker 2: everything he had to say. Everything was perfect. Bedtime is
20:14
Speaker 2: sacred for a lot of households. And a lot of
20:15
Speaker 2: people got to leave the house to work.
20:17
Speaker 1: It's always, it's a race. Am I going to make
20:19
Speaker 1: it back for bedtime? This is a big part of
20:21
Speaker 1: your day.
20:21
Speaker 2: And if you're not going to make it, you feel
20:22
Speaker 2: kind of desperate because then you, that means you missed
20:24
Speaker 2: the whole day with your kids. Yeah. And then this
20:27
Speaker 2: Gen Z guy, this blasé attitude is for, hopefully there's
20:31
Speaker 2: enough Gen Z people in the audience where this, this
20:34
Speaker 2: message will resonate. But a lot of us wonder about
20:37
Speaker 2: this in other generations, how it feels like a whole
20:39
Speaker 2: generation of people are just so non-gelant. They're so blasé.
20:45
Speaker 2: There's a malaise factor in the way Gen Z presents
20:48
Speaker 2: itself socially. And I blame the phones. I don't think
20:51
Speaker 2: that it makes you a bad person. But this whole,
20:53
Speaker 2: oh God, I can't even be bothered to open my
20:56
Speaker 2: mouth while I talk to you.
20:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's this like sub-literate, obnoxious vibe.
21:03
Speaker 4: Totally.
21:03
Speaker 2: And then, even at the end where he says, you
21:05
Speaker 2: have a great night, you have a great night, the
21:07
Speaker 2: kid says at the end, after you try to harass
21:09
Speaker 2: him so he can make an online video, then he
21:11
Speaker 2: wishes him a great night. It really does speak to
21:14
Speaker 2: a lot of the frustration that, that a lot of
21:17
Speaker 2: Americans are feeling right now because things got very expensive
21:19
Speaker 2: and a lot of people who are into their forties
21:21
Speaker 2: and fifties and of course thirties, but it's the, or
21:25
Speaker 2: beyond or realizing that parts of the American dream are
21:27
Speaker 2: not going to happen for them or are really delayed
21:30
Speaker 2: and are not looking like we were promised. There is
21:34
Speaker 2: a simmering frustration. So this brings us to the most
21:37
Speaker 2: important place where we could take it.
21:39
Speaker 3: It's like simmering frustration and also desperation, which is, is right.
21:44
Speaker 1: Much more dangerous.
21:44
Speaker 2: Yeah. So then the question is, whose fault is it
21:48
Speaker 2: and who is providing the best solutions? And that's kind
21:51
Speaker 2: of we're a couple of days out from the election.
21:53
Speaker 2: So you said the thing I wanted to go with this.
21:55
Speaker 2: Is this a thing where MAGA is a solution or
21:58
Speaker 2: is DSA the solution? Because I think a lot of
22:00
Speaker 2: people are going to be casting ballots, are going to
22:03
Speaker 2: be saying, well, actually, we really need more socialism to
22:05
Speaker 2: fix stuff like this.
22:06
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, that's it exactly.
22:08
Speaker 3: And that's, that's why, like, I think the only two
22:10
Speaker 3: viable sides in politics right now are DSA and MAGA.
22:15
Speaker 3: And Bannon says, as I mean, he, he, he, he
22:17
Speaker 3: expressed it maybe a little bit more of a crass
22:20
Speaker 3: way where he says you get MAGA or you get Luigi.
22:22
Speaker 1: Uh, but you know, it's, it's difficult to hear that.
22:28
Speaker 3: Uh, it's definitely flamboyant in the way it's expressed, but
22:32
Speaker 3: it's sort of true. Uh, when you have desperation and resentment, uh,
22:37
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people sympathize with Luigi and
22:39
Speaker 3: I wouldn't excuse it nor justify it. But I think
22:44
Speaker 3: that part of the explanation is that sentiment. And so,
22:48
Speaker 3: you know, it's DSA is appealing, I think, because to,
22:54
Speaker 3: to people who obviously like know how things work in an,
23:00
Speaker 3: in an official, in a correct way, but in an
23:02
Speaker 3: official way, for sure.
23:04
Speaker 1: You know, that's going to be bad for.
23:05
Speaker 3: The economy and it's going to make people poorer.
23:08
Speaker 1: We know this. There's obviously no successful case of socialism.
23:12
Speaker 2: And this is the thing that I have been thinking
23:16
Speaker 2: a lot about in the last couple of days before
23:19
Speaker 2: the election is that the reason why things are so
23:22
Speaker 2: expensive is have nothing to do with trump other than
23:25
Speaker 2: of course the elf in the room which is the
23:27
Speaker 2: iran war and the iran war is did make things
23:29
Speaker 2: more expensive and that's a reality it's a factor and
23:33
Speaker 2: he's gonna deal with that and i think um the
23:36
Speaker 2: the case for it probably could have been made better
23:39
Speaker 2: some of this is just the fact that he doesn't
23:41
Speaker 2: like to tip his hand but you know we didn't
23:43
Speaker 2: go through the usual all sorts of hearings and congressional
23:46
Speaker 2: hearings and all sorts of a boring endless conversation about
23:49
Speaker 2: whether or not it's a good idea and the type
23:51
Speaker 2: of stuff we've seen before prior wars which probably would
23:53
Speaker 2: have compromised us strategically, but we didn't get that. So
23:56
Speaker 2: the public was, I think it kind of was a
23:59
Speaker 2: surprise to people. But everything else that's causing all this stuff, Emma,
24:03
Speaker 2: is too much deficit spending, Too much borrowing for stuff
24:06
Speaker 2: we don't need, like liberal arts degrees from colleges.
24:09
Speaker 1: It is the too.
24:12
Speaker 2: Much immigration, too many people coming in, illegal immigrants, and
24:16
Speaker 2: even the H-1B style immigrants who are coming in to
24:19
Speaker 2: compete with Americans for jobs.
24:20
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason. These are huge parts of
24:22
Speaker 1: the reason.
24:23
Speaker 3: But you're missing the biggest reason, which is total boomer
24:26
Speaker 3: luxury communism.
24:28
Speaker 1: And that really leads well into.
24:31
Speaker 3: where DSA kind of comes from, which is, you know, again,
24:35
Speaker 3: like I touched on this very briefly last show, but
24:38
Speaker 3: I was hanging out with somebody who was like original DSA.
24:41
Speaker 3: So DSA really started in Brooklyn and it was downwardly mobile,
24:47
Speaker 3: white young professionals who were looking around and seeing that
24:52
Speaker 3: there is socialism in America.
24:54
Speaker 1: And It's in the projects. And it's with their parents.
25:00
Speaker 3: Those are the two socialist constituencies, those are the two
25:02
Speaker 3: constituencies that live in like cradle to grave Denmark, France,
25:07
Speaker 3: Quebec style socialism. And It's right in front of you,
25:12
Speaker 3: but it's not equally accessible to everybody. And so on
25:15
Speaker 3: the one hand, you have people who can live in
25:17
Speaker 3: a three-bedroom apartment for like 50 bucks a month. And yes,
25:20
Speaker 3: they're in the projects, but they're living in a three-bedroom
25:23
Speaker 3: for 50 bucks a month.
25:24
Speaker 1: Or you have boomers that are being showered.
25:26
Speaker 3: With money in what is claimed very vaguely to be
25:30
Speaker 3: money that they paid into the system over the course
25:33
Speaker 3: of their lives, except that now it's like by multiples
25:36
Speaker 3: of 10 and 20 that they're getting back out of
25:38
Speaker 3: what they put in.
25:40
Speaker 1: And life is completely unaffordable for everybody else.
25:43
Speaker 3: Everybody else is having to support that, those two subsets
25:47
Speaker 3: of our society, and then they can't afford anything themselves.
25:50
Speaker 3: And so DSA's natural conclusion, I mean, granted, not very thoughtful,
25:55
Speaker 3: but still the natural place that you go when you
25:58
Speaker 3: see that stuff is, well, can I also have an
26:02
Speaker 3: economic setup that way? And it was only actually after
26:06
Speaker 3: as this guy was explaining, it was only after Bernie
26:09
Speaker 3: came up in 2016 and brought the concept or the
26:13
Speaker 3: term socialism and democratic socialists national, people just heard the
26:18
Speaker 3: word democratic socialists or socialists. And they thought, Oh, that
26:21
Speaker 3: encompasses like the left, like the farther left than the
26:24
Speaker 3: democratic party. And that's where you started getting like open borders.
26:28
Speaker 3: That's where you started getting the transes. That's when you
26:31
Speaker 3: started getting like the more radical social ideas, the race stuff. Um,
26:36
Speaker 3: all kind of glomming on to this label, socialism, and
26:40
Speaker 3: calling that their home. But, like, the original democratic socialists
26:44
Speaker 3: were actually just, yeah, like, yuppies in Williamsburg who were
26:47
Speaker 3: kind of, like, looking around and saying, I want the
26:50
Speaker 3: same deal as these other people who are literally 50
26:53
Speaker 3: feet away from me.
26:54
Speaker 1: And so....
26:56
Speaker 3: That idea, though, and that philosophy has persisted through all
26:59
Speaker 3: of the permutations of the DSA. And look, the original
27:02
Speaker 3: DSA people now, they're either MAGA because they've said, this
27:06
Speaker 3: has totally run away from us in terms of what
27:08
Speaker 3: we originally were talking about, or they're captured, which is
27:12
Speaker 3: why the DSA never rejected any of the freaks that
27:16
Speaker 3: kind of just came on like magnets to this like
27:20
Speaker 3: far left movement or so they thought was because all
27:23
Speaker 3: of a sudden you had real numbers all of a
27:25
Speaker 3: sudden you had like a real viable national party so
27:28
Speaker 3: they've either been they've either abandoned DSA the original people
27:33
Speaker 3: or they've uh just kind of been like audience captured
27:37
Speaker 3: and and I would definitely consider I mean look at
27:38
Speaker 3: Bernie's past statements on immigration when.
27:40
Speaker 1: He called it a coke yeah a Koch scheme, which
27:44
Speaker 1: he was right about, by the way. He totally was right.
27:46
Speaker 1: He was totally right about that.
27:47
Speaker 3: But he has had to completely back off of that
27:49
Speaker 3: because if he were to say, no, like open borders is.
27:51
Speaker 1: Not part of the program. Emma, just to go back though.
27:54
Speaker 1: He loses the left. But to continue, the.
27:57
Speaker 2: Koch brothers bought off the Republican establishment to be pro
28:00
Speaker 2: open borders.
28:00
Speaker 4: And that is a fact that that happened.
28:03
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. And so that's it.
28:05
Speaker 3: So he now can't back off of all of these
28:07
Speaker 3: like nutty, like social justice and immigration positions because, He
28:11
Speaker 3: all of a sudden now has a movement and he
28:13
Speaker 3: can't alienate anybody from that movement. But in any event, look,
28:17
Speaker 3: the original premise of DSA is.
28:19
Speaker 1: Like, I have the raw deal.
28:21
Speaker 3: And that is exactly what we just watched in that
28:24
Speaker 3: video as well, or at least what one could naturally
28:29
Speaker 3: and reasonably conclude from that. I would never, especially being
28:33
Speaker 3: from Quebec, and you're seeing how the Canadian system is
28:35
Speaker 3: so imploding so badly that they're literally just injecting people
28:40
Speaker 3: with poison to kill them, to get them off the
28:42
Speaker 3: waiting room. But it's like, you can't blame them either.
28:50
Speaker 3: You can say that it's absurd. You can say that
28:52
Speaker 3: it's bad. And I could sit here and make a
28:55
Speaker 3: longer case as to the problems with socialism having lived there,
28:58
Speaker 3: and especially having lived there and having had two parents
29:01
Speaker 3: with cancer. But that said, it's like, hey, look, this
29:06
Speaker 3: is where we are because there's this glib response to
29:12
Speaker 3: the plight of young people and to the plight of
29:14
Speaker 3: working people. And that's like a recipe for a real tinderbox.
29:24
Speaker 1: Well, it is.
29:24
Speaker 2: And also, we have to do this thing where we
29:26
Speaker 2: don't talk about anything that's important. We do these things
29:29
Speaker 2: that we only talk about things that are, we talk
29:32
Speaker 2: all the time about things that are not super important.
29:36
Speaker 2: And I can give a million examples, but you know, the,
29:38
Speaker 2: the men and women's sports, for example, that they should
29:41
Speaker 2: have been asked and answered like two years ago, they
29:43
Speaker 2: should have, we should have been done with this conversation.
29:44
Speaker 2: It was completely insane that we flirted with this. And like,
29:47
Speaker 2: And it's still coming up. The taxpayers funding transgender surgeries
29:53
Speaker 2: for transgender transitions for children with Abdul El-Sayed called for
29:57
Speaker 2: this week.
29:58
Speaker 4: Like, why are we still on this stuff?
30:00
Speaker 2: Every day, it feels like I'm confronted with another topic
30:03
Speaker 2: that I feel like we the reparations. He's on reparations, too.
30:07
Speaker 2: It's like, why are we talking about reparations? We can't
30:08
Speaker 2: afford reparations. And there's no good way to do it.
30:10
Speaker 2: So we're not going to do it. So why are
30:11
Speaker 2: we doing this? It's obviously designed to bum us out
30:14
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. And there are political purposes for it.
30:18
Speaker 2: But this is a real significant thing, is that we
30:20
Speaker 2: build in Social Security and Medicare. People who are receiving
30:23
Speaker 2: it paid into it for decades. Every paycheck, at least
30:26
Speaker 2: until a certain threshold, they're paying it for decades. They're
30:29
Speaker 2: expecting to get something out of it. But now they're
30:31
Speaker 2: living much longer than anyone anticipated. And then also, we've
30:34
Speaker 2: got an economy where the anticipation that you're going to
30:37
Speaker 2: retire is just not the standard to retire at the
30:39
Speaker 2: same time as it once was. And then so I
30:42
Speaker 2: know people would push back and say, well, but you're
30:45
Speaker 2: not going to be trained in the correct skills to
30:47
Speaker 2: be able to work in the modern economy as you
30:51
Speaker 2: get older. And I don't know if that's true. We've
30:53
Speaker 2: got lots of people at Breitbart who are above social
30:56
Speaker 2: security age who are a perform at a very high
30:58
Speaker 2: level and actually did learn skills that they're not teaching
31:01
Speaker 2: in the schools now. So they're better qualified than younger
31:03
Speaker 2: people to do some of those jobs because you're not
31:06
Speaker 2: learning to read or write at, to get a degree.
31:08
Speaker 2: We look at the university of California system is all,
31:11
Speaker 2: even the professors are starting to put their hands up
31:13
Speaker 2: and say that, yeah, since we dropped the SAT, like
31:15
Speaker 2: no one could do math. Like even the math majors
31:17
Speaker 2: can't do math. So it's the people aren't coming out.
31:20
Speaker 2: And with skills, so do we have it reversed?
31:24
Speaker 1: Should we be.
31:24
Speaker 2: Subsidizing younger people because they're so slow to form families?
31:30
Speaker 1: We should consider this stuff. I know that's not going
31:32
Speaker 1: to work either, though.
31:33
Speaker 2: But we need to start being able to have frank
31:35
Speaker 2: conversations about the welfare state and the way it's being applied.
31:39
Speaker 2: This is analogous, Emma, to how we can never talk
31:41
Speaker 2: about cutting entitlements anymore.
31:43
Speaker 1: Because it's politically, you can't do it. Well, that's what
31:47
Speaker 1: I was saying. It's like, no one will ever say this,
31:49
Speaker 1: but yeah, exactly.
31:51
Speaker 3: And also, by the way, nobody will ever seriously try
31:54
Speaker 3: to tackle the housing issue and the price of homes.
31:57
Speaker 3: I mean, there's tons of reasons that you could say
32:00
Speaker 3: for what it is. I think that the one reason
32:02
Speaker 3: that they kind of leave out is that boomers and
32:04
Speaker 3: older people are holding onto their homes for much longer
32:06
Speaker 3: and refusing to sell them because they're appreciating assets.
32:09
Speaker 5: Right.
32:10
Speaker 3: You know, nobody can even try to get the, let's
32:14
Speaker 3: say you wanted to build a million homes. That wouldn't
32:18
Speaker 3: be politically advantageous either because what do you do with
32:21
Speaker 3: the people who are currently holding those assets? They're supposed
32:25
Speaker 3: to be cool and continue voting for you if you
32:27
Speaker 3: all of a sudden like tank the central asset that
32:31
Speaker 3: they own.
32:32
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
32:33
Speaker 2: It's something that is, and again, we're not spending any
32:35
Speaker 2: time talking about these ones because.
32:37
Speaker 1: We need to get to the bottom of these.
32:38
Speaker 2: We need to start figuring out because this is not
32:40
Speaker 2: sustainable the way it is now.
32:42
Speaker 1: Well, that's it.
32:42
Speaker 3: But, you know, we can have these conversations and we
32:46
Speaker 3: don't have skin in the game to have them, but
32:50
Speaker 3: no politician will ever dare cross that line.
32:52
Speaker 1: No, they won't.
32:54
Speaker 5: Yeah.
32:54
Speaker 2: And I think about this also with another thing, which
32:57
Speaker 2: is that I want a younger audience to the show.
33:00
Speaker 4: Every host wants a younger audience.
33:01
Speaker 2: I want to appeal to the younger people, but it's not,
33:04
Speaker 2: it's not helping younger people to tell you that everything's
33:08
Speaker 2: the same as it was. And if we just complain enough,
33:11
Speaker 2: then you're going to be able to get an average
33:14
Speaker 2: American home in your twenties. You're just not, unless you've
33:16
Speaker 2: got some sort of outsized level of success, you're probably
33:19
Speaker 2: going to enter the world where homes are way more
33:21
Speaker 2: expensive and you've way more debt and than people in
33:23
Speaker 2: prior generations.
33:25
Speaker 1: And then you're going to make some tough decisions based
33:26
Speaker 1: off of that.
33:27
Speaker 2: Some decisions, some are easy ones, like how much DoorDash
33:30
Speaker 2: spending you're doing, which is, I'm not talking about a
33:32
Speaker 2: $ 20 Chipotle. I'm talking about making a part of your six,
33:35
Speaker 2: 800 bucks a month as a budget. You think about
33:37
Speaker 2: that stuff? You got to think about if you want
33:39
Speaker 2: to move. I don't want you to have to move.
33:41
Speaker 2: I want you to be able to be near family.
33:43
Speaker 1: That's better.
33:43
Speaker 2: But you got to make choices sometimes. And if you
33:46
Speaker 2: think that you want to have a house in your 30s,
33:49
Speaker 2: or I'm sorry, in your 20s or the early 30s.
33:52
Speaker 1: You might have to go to a cheaper part of
33:53
Speaker 1: the world. And these are tough questions to answer to people.
33:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's the other side of the hard conversation
33:59
Speaker 3: that nobody will ever have because it's political suicide. But
34:02
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, and I'm not going to go
34:03
Speaker 3: full Ben Shapiro and say that, like, you know, if
34:05
Speaker 3: you can't afford to live in a city, well, there's
34:07
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with the system.
34:08
Speaker 1: There's something wrong with you.
34:10
Speaker 4: Yes. Absolutely not.
34:13
Speaker 3: The spirit of what he had said when he made
34:15
Speaker 3: those famous comments that Tucker Carlson chimped out about.
34:17
Speaker 1: But, you know, not to get too deep into like
34:20
Speaker 1: podcast lore.
34:21
Speaker 3: But anyway, you know, I'm not going to go so
34:22
Speaker 3: far as to say like, you know, well, maybe like,
34:24
Speaker 3: you know, the cities are just getting what they just cost.
34:26
Speaker 1: What they cost.
34:27
Speaker 3: And maybe, you know, you should never live in one
34:29
Speaker 3: or something like whatever. I don't I'm not going to
34:31
Speaker 3: take that point. But the point that I will take
34:34
Speaker 3: and the point that I live, by the way. is
34:37
Speaker 3: that if you are going to insist for whatever reason
34:39
Speaker 3: and by the way i'm not insisting on living in
34:41
Speaker 3: new york city because i love the foliage you know
34:44
Speaker 3: i'm here because of work and i have to be
34:46
Speaker 3: and there's just like much less opportunity and earning potential
34:48
Speaker 3: for me if i were to leave so if that's
34:50
Speaker 3: the case and i'm dead set on having kids which
34:53
Speaker 3: i mean i'm pretty locked in now uh then you're
34:57
Speaker 3: not going to live in the way that you kind
34:59
Speaker 3: of grew up necessarily at the beginning of your children's lives.
35:02
Speaker 3: You know, it's like my kids live in an apartment.
35:04
Speaker 3: I mean, granted, it's a nice apartment. But, you know,
35:09
Speaker 3: they definitely live in an environment that I could have
35:11
Speaker 3: never imagined when I was a kid. And hey, look,
35:13
Speaker 3: like we make it work. And that's kind of how
35:17
Speaker 3: it is. It's like there are sacrifices that young people
35:19
Speaker 3: have to make too.
35:20
Speaker 1: They have a choice. They can either be resentful.
35:24
Speaker 3: Um, and stall their lives, uh, as some sort of protest,
35:29
Speaker 3: or they can just proceed and make do with what
35:33
Speaker 3: is available.
35:34
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm looking at the house I grew up in
35:38
Speaker 2: where we lived for over 20 years or so when
35:41
Speaker 2: I was, from when I was two or whatever it was,
35:44
Speaker 2: I think it was, I think it was two until
35:46
Speaker 2: into my early twenties. Uh, and it's 800 square feet
35:50
Speaker 2: in West LA. It's a, it's, Half the size of
35:54
Speaker 2: my house now, and it is dramatically more expensive than
35:58
Speaker 2: where I live just north of LA. So it's literally
36:00
Speaker 2: half the size, and it's dramatically more expensive. And the
36:04
Speaker 2: reason is, and you don't have a usable school district there.
36:06
Speaker 2: You can't use the school, so you got to try
36:08
Speaker 2: to do private school or religious school if you live
36:11
Speaker 2: there because the schools are terrible. It's a small lot,
36:15
Speaker 2: and it's a charming part of town, but it's reasonably
36:17
Speaker 2: close to the freeway. It's not like it's some sort
36:18
Speaker 2: of incredible world's greatest neighborhood. It's a very good neighborhood,
36:21
Speaker 2: but it's not the greatest neighborhood. everybody's ever seen. And
36:24
Speaker 2: so what am I supposed to do here? Am I
36:26
Speaker 2: supposed to not accept reality? Or am I supposed to
36:30
Speaker 2: accept reality and then also try to see, well, why
36:33
Speaker 2: is this? Is there something we can stop doing that's
36:35
Speaker 2: driven the prices up like this? Yeah, we should start
36:38
Speaker 2: thinking about that stuff. And Trump administration is trying to
36:40
Speaker 2: address it with too much immigration and too much private
36:43
Speaker 2: equity buying up all these homes. So they've cut that out.
36:46
Speaker 2: That's a positive. But this is where I come back
36:49
Speaker 2: to the DSA stuff, that the socialists are mostly saying,
36:53
Speaker 2: I feel your pain, and I might cap rents if
36:57
Speaker 2: you live in an apartment. And that's all they're offering.
37:00
Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, I think it's working politically.
37:03
Speaker 1: Well, that's it. It's horrible. Those are horrible ideas, by
37:06
Speaker 1: the way.
37:07
Speaker 3: And capping rents literally just shoots up the cost of
37:09
Speaker 3: rent because you have all these vacancies all of a
37:11
Speaker 3: sudden of apartments that can't you know, the landlord isn't
37:14
Speaker 3: making enough to, that makes it worth renovating them.
37:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you, they stop building. It's a lot of.
37:19
Speaker 3: Dated apartments that are unlivable, and then therefore they're just vacancies. So,
37:24
Speaker 3: you know, like, look, those are, yeah, that's what I
37:26
Speaker 3: was saying. It's like, socially, you can go down the
37:28
Speaker 3: list of every policy and why it's a horrible idea
37:30
Speaker 3: and actually leads to more poverty and people getting strapped
37:34
Speaker 3: more and more. But that said, it's like, especially for
37:37
Speaker 3: somebody who doesn't have a sophisticated understanding of economics, which
37:40
Speaker 3: nobody thinks of that. Nobody thinks of like, oh, like
37:42
Speaker 3: what happens when an apartment needs a repair because they've
37:44
Speaker 3: never had to be a landlord or owned a property
37:46
Speaker 3: or just, they don't go that deep. They just think
37:50
Speaker 3: my rent is going to be lower, period. And that's
37:52
Speaker 3: kind of where I think the thought ends. But that said,
37:55
Speaker 3: it's like, look, it's better than nothing, which is scary.
38:04
Speaker 1: It's better than nothing.
38:05
Speaker 2: And that is, That is scary. So let me ask
38:09
Speaker 2: about where do we think with the Red Baron guy?
38:12
Speaker 2: There's a big GoFundMe online if you guys want to
38:15
Speaker 2: hunt that down.
38:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I donated to it.
38:17
Speaker 5: I mean, oh, God.
38:18
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch that dry-eyed.
38:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you see how the media sees this as
38:24
Speaker 2: an opportunity to seize on it. And the New York
38:27
Speaker 2: Times are doing a lot of reporting on how expensive
38:29
Speaker 2: everything is. They have multiple stories. You highlighted one. I
38:32
Speaker 2: highlighted another one on the live show, I think it was,
38:36
Speaker 2: earlier in the week. They're pointing out, hey, everything's really
38:39
Speaker 2: expensive because they see this as a real vulnerability for Trump.
38:43
Speaker 2: And then we're seeing that just 12% of Americans are
38:46
Speaker 2: married and own a home by 30, which is, you know,
38:51
Speaker 2: I've been extremely well for myself.
38:54
Speaker 1: I was married.
38:54
Speaker 2: I did not have a home by the time I
38:56
Speaker 2: was 30. I think I was 31 when I got
38:58
Speaker 2: my first house. And it just, yeah, this is another one.
39:02
Speaker 2: Can't afford a home, can't afford a baby, can't afford life.
39:04
Speaker 1: This is 30.
39:05
Speaker 4: That's the.
39:07
Speaker 2: Among many from the New York Times. They really, but
39:13
Speaker 2: it's just not the reality in a lot of ways
39:16
Speaker 2: also in that the creature comforts we've had are second
39:20
Speaker 2: to none. People are vacationing, people are spending, they have
39:22
Speaker 2: great technology, they spend exorbitantly on concerts and things like
39:27
Speaker 2: that and shared experiences.
39:28
Speaker 3: Van and says he's like, we're Russian serfs with the
39:32
Speaker 3: best clothes, the best phones, the best entertainment.
39:36
Speaker 1: And that's exactly right.
39:38
Speaker 3: It's like it's it's uh soma i don't know if
39:41
Speaker 3: you ever read the book brave new world by aldous
39:43
Speaker 3: huxley but it's like they're basically all like you know
39:46
Speaker 3: the whole pop it's a dystopian sci-fi kind of thing
39:49
Speaker 3: and and uh they're they're all like basically in the
39:53
Speaker 3: state of slavery and then when anybody starts to kind
39:55
Speaker 3: of realize that the that they are in slavery um
39:59
Speaker 3: and like and like start to have like like start
40:02
Speaker 3: to think too much, they inject them with this medication
40:06
Speaker 3: or this drug called Soma in the book. And it
40:09
Speaker 3: basically knocks them out. And that's what these things are.
40:15
Speaker 3: It's we are Russian serfs. Not owning anything is not
40:18
Speaker 3: being a full human being, at least not in the
40:20
Speaker 3: American definition of one.
40:21
Speaker 1: It is... we do want in America you to be
40:26
Speaker 1: able to own stuff. It is true.
40:28
Speaker 2: And I do find this to be interesting because I've,
40:30
Speaker 2: I do find a lot of people in my peer
40:31
Speaker 2: group have prioritized spending more on experiences. And like, for me,
40:36
Speaker 2: I've got the home and the children, but I don't
40:38
Speaker 2: really go to a lot of concerts and the, the vacations.
40:41
Speaker 1: I really do try to keep those on a budget.
40:43
Speaker 1: And it just, it's interesting where people choose.
40:44
Speaker 2: To spend on stuff because, and I just, I detest
40:47
Speaker 2: the delivery food.
40:49
Speaker 1: Like I really do. I detest the door dash.
40:51
Speaker 2: Like, like that's like a really a, emergency thing even
40:54
Speaker 2: though i mean i can theoretically afford it i just
40:56
Speaker 2: find it to be just pure consumption without any meaningful
40:59
Speaker 2: value but i think i differ from a lot of
41:01
Speaker 2: people around our age emma because i think that they're
41:03
Speaker 2: doing a lot.
41:04
Speaker 1: Of the um we will we will yolo a.
41:08
Speaker 2: Lot of consumption because we're feel so bleak about owning stuff.
41:13
Speaker 3: Well that's it exactly it's you yolo the consumption because
41:16
Speaker 3: the budget never gets you anywhere yeah so instead of
41:19
Speaker 3: just like like, constantly, like, tightening your belt, you're just like,
41:24
Speaker 3: tightening my belt doesn't get me the house anyway. Like,
41:26
Speaker 3: how long do I have to tighten my belt and
41:28
Speaker 3: how tight do I have to make it to come
41:30
Speaker 3: up with.
41:31
Speaker 2: Like, $ 200, 000.
41:32
Speaker 1: Or $ 400, 000?
41:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's one of these things where out of principle,
41:37
Speaker 2: it's more for me out of principle, but I don't
41:39
Speaker 2: realistically think if I say we're scaling back on the DoorDash,
41:42
Speaker 2: it's going to mean I'm going to get a bigger house.
41:43
Speaker 1: I just don't.
41:44
Speaker 2: No, of course not. I just feel like I'm getting
41:47
Speaker 2: ripped off a lot of the time, which I'm anti
41:49
Speaker 2: getting ripped off.
41:51
Speaker 6: No, no.
41:51
Speaker 3: And to deny that there is like a culture of
41:53
Speaker 3: like frivolous spending and probably a lot of waste is
41:55
Speaker 3: obviously a lie.
41:58
Speaker 1: There is that culture.
41:59
Speaker 3: But I also just think that money feels like monopoly
42:02
Speaker 3: money to a lot of young people because like the
42:05
Speaker 3: real things are.
42:06
Speaker 1: Never, you can't like save your pennies for that. You
42:10
Speaker 1: can't save. I mean, look, like it's bleak. Like, that's bleak.
42:14
Speaker 1: That's sad.
42:15
Speaker 3: And people stay married to the idea that they have
42:18
Speaker 3: to own a house to get married or have to
42:20
Speaker 3: own a house to have kids, for sure. And it's,
42:22
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, I mean, there's two sides. Like,
42:24
Speaker 3: on the one hand, like, yeah, they're right. They're getting
42:26
Speaker 3: crazy shafted. On the other hand, adopt.
42:29
Speaker 2: So here's where, give me your quick answer on who
42:33
Speaker 2: do you think won this messaging war for the election?
42:36
Speaker 2: I got a feeling you're going to say, definitely not
42:38
Speaker 2: the Republicans. I think I'm probably going to agree with
42:40
Speaker 2: you that they did not message well on this stuff.
42:42
Speaker 2: But what do we do going forward? Because this is
42:45
Speaker 2: the urgent issue and it connects to everything. It connects
42:47
Speaker 2: to everything else we could possibly talk about. Connects to
42:49
Speaker 2: culture war stuff, connects to AI stuff. There's any of
42:52
Speaker 2: the big issues it comes down to, people feel like
42:54
Speaker 2: things are unaffordable.
42:56
Speaker 4: So where should the messaging go from your vantage point?
42:59
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, honestly, I don't think that either side
43:02
Speaker 3: won the messaging, which is crazy because it was like,
43:07
Speaker 3: it was like right on the table for anybody to take.
43:10
Speaker 3: But the Republicans, I don't think have done any messaging
43:14
Speaker 3: to sell, you know, the last two years. And I
43:17
Speaker 3: also don't think that I think the Democrats have been
43:20
Speaker 3: very distracted with stupid things.
43:22
Speaker 1: Like the Epstein class, that term, like, what is that?
43:26
Speaker 1: That doesn't address.
43:27
Speaker 3: It's like almost like adjacent to the point, but it's
43:31
Speaker 3: not the point. Um, and it's, I guess, trying to
43:35
Speaker 3: weaponize the resentment that we're talking about. And, and that
43:39
Speaker 3: I think is pretty obviously there, but by the same token,
43:42
Speaker 3: it's like, no, if you guys.
43:45
Speaker 1: Actually would have talked about, uh, Yeah.
43:49
Speaker 5: Yeah.
43:49
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, close but not really.
44:23
Speaker 3: Close but not really addressing the things that people actually
44:25
Speaker 3: really care about, which is clearly the economy and immigration.
44:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
44:29
Speaker 2: And that's where I feel like I still have to
44:32
Speaker 2: give the Republicans the L on this because— The the
44:39
Speaker 2: the issue that I see here is that every solution
44:41
Speaker 2: Democrats offer actually makes things more expensive.
44:44
Speaker 4: And yet they got away with it. So that's where.
44:46
Speaker 1: Exactly.
44:47
Speaker 2: And that's where I feel like. But again, I kind
44:49
Speaker 2: of run, I guess, a little critical of Republicans. And
44:52
Speaker 2: people know that if they're with me, I kind of.
44:54
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, they happen to be like in love with losing.
44:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
44:59
Speaker 1: And they always try to win, by the way. Yeah.
45:01
Speaker 1: That's why Trump was such a boss. No, it's true.
45:05
Speaker 1: He was a real winner.
45:06
Speaker 2: And this is another thing that I, I come back
45:08
Speaker 2: to this with the Iran war too. It's just, you know,
45:10
Speaker 2: the part of the culture of the Republican establishment is like,
45:12
Speaker 2: we don't win wars. Like, I think we should go
45:15
Speaker 2: finish that thing off. Like, like a W bring home
45:17
Speaker 2: the W like, let's just, let's do that. Like, let's
45:19
Speaker 2: get an actual W. Um, I think that's, that's an
45:23
Speaker 2: important thing.
45:24
Speaker 3: Okay.
45:24
Speaker 2: I got a couple other things that are hot in
45:26
Speaker 2: the streets right now that I want your thoughts on Emma.
45:30
Speaker 1: Uh, one of them, I want to play this cut.
45:32
Speaker 1: This is Abdul El-Sayed.
45:35
Speaker 2: He's framing up the job of America's role in the world.
45:40
Speaker 4: And I was struck by this. I'm going to get
45:41
Speaker 4: your thoughts here.
45:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that we're done trashing the Republicans.
45:45
Speaker 4: Yes, let's trash the Democrats.
45:47
Speaker 6: Let's talk foreign policy with the war and much broader.
45:52
Speaker 1: First on the war, what would you do about it?
45:54
Speaker 1: And give me your broader foreign policy vision.
45:56
Speaker 8: Well, immediately we need a war powers resolution that is
45:59
Speaker 8: going to strip this administration from continuing to force us
46:02
Speaker 8: into the folly of this stupid war. It's Congress that
46:04
Speaker 8: declares war, not an errant president who's doing it because, well,
46:08
Speaker 8: he's too dumb to get us out. The second thing, though,
46:11
Speaker 8: is we've got to remember that our job is to
46:14
Speaker 8: be the principal upholder of international law. And too often
46:18
Speaker 8: when it comes to.
46:20
Speaker 2: Okay, so first of all, Trump is too dumb, and
46:23
Speaker 2: Trump's an idiot. Aren't Republicans stupid?
46:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like, of all things, that's what you go with?
46:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible.
46:31
Speaker 2: He's so gifted.
46:32
Speaker 4: He's a generational talent.
46:34
Speaker 2: But that last thing he said, our job is to
46:37
Speaker 2: be the principal upholder of international law.
46:41
Speaker 1: Excuse me, sir? What? Yeah, well, you know.
46:46
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the problem with the left. If
46:50
Speaker 3: they would have stuck to the, like, let's say, the
46:54
Speaker 3: original vision of the DSA, like, I think we'd probably
46:57
Speaker 3: be getting killed. But they took this poison pill, which
47:00
Speaker 3: was being this post-national movement. So they don't believe in borders.
47:07
Speaker 3: They don't believe in sovereignty. So it's like the international order,
47:10
Speaker 3: that is a euphemism for... like no sovereignty for America.
47:17
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have an international anything. And the
47:22
Speaker 3: international bodies that do exist have no power because they
47:26
Speaker 3: aren't elected by anyone.
47:27
Speaker 1: There's no world government.
47:29
Speaker 3: So, you know, to, to just even gesture at this stuff,
47:32
Speaker 3: which they're not gesturing, by the way, if a person
47:34
Speaker 3: like this is president, like the United States essentially loses
47:38
Speaker 3: decision-making power and over its own behavior. Because we now
47:42
Speaker 3: have to submit to some international body, which is comprised
47:45
Speaker 3: of who? And what are they like? And what decisions
47:48
Speaker 3: are they making? And what is that authority over our behavior?
47:51
Speaker 3: But if we're going to submit to that, then I
47:52
Speaker 3: don't understand how we're even a country.
47:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is no international law. What is he talking about?
47:58
Speaker 1: But we are international law. International law is only enforceable
48:02
Speaker 1: by people who can enforce it. Exactly.
48:04
Speaker 2: It's a, where's the international army that we're supposed to
48:06
Speaker 2: be in charge of? That's going to enforce this stuff.
48:08
Speaker 2: And we can't get our mind around basic problems here
48:11
Speaker 2: in the States. Like what are we going to do?
48:13
Speaker 2: We're going to be in charge of international law all
48:15
Speaker 2: over the world. And where are we going to start?
48:17
Speaker 2: Are we going to start with a Nigerian Christians getting slaughtered?
48:19
Speaker 2: Is that where we're going to go? Cause we should,
48:21
Speaker 2: if we're in charge of international law, why aren't we
48:22
Speaker 2: in Nigeria right now cleaning up all the slaughtering Christians?
48:25
Speaker 2: We should have been there yesterday. Is it, we've made
48:28
Speaker 2: our peace with it. We can't be the world's policemen and,
48:31
Speaker 2: And these were the Democrats who were saying this stuff. Like,
48:33
Speaker 2: we were not the world's policemen. Now we're saying, no,
48:35
Speaker 2: we actually are. It's our main job. Like, that's the
48:37
Speaker 2: thing that we need to do more than anything else.
48:39
Speaker 2: It is our job to be the principal.
48:40
Speaker 3: Well, you know, actually, the point of international law, you know,
48:44
Speaker 3: is to tie our hands behind our back and, in essence, to.
48:50
Speaker 1: Handicap our ability to exercise our sovereignty.
48:54
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is where I was segueing to what,
48:56
Speaker 2: let me give you an update in the state of
48:58
Speaker 2: international law.
48:59
Speaker 1: And Let's check in on international law.
49:05
Speaker 2: Let's check out how I'm having Misty upload these images
49:10
Speaker 2: that I just sent. And one of them comes via
49:16
Speaker 2: The Economist. our good friend zanny is back and she
49:21
Speaker 2: had put out a unbelievable chart that i'm trying to filibuster.
49:27
Speaker 1: Oh yeah zanny noticing.
49:30
Speaker 2: She's doing some serious noticing if you're not familiar with
49:32
Speaker 2: the expression you guys can can use your favorite internet
49:36
Speaker 2: search tool, figure this out. But Zannie put out a
49:39
Speaker 2: chart in The Economist of England and Wales, the conviction
49:41
Speaker 2: rates for sexual offenses by nationality. And this is 2020
49:46
Speaker 2: to 2022 data. So presumably only getting more, going in
49:50
Speaker 2: the wrong direction since then. But going through the likelihood
49:55
Speaker 2: of sexual assault convictions and the worst group in Britain
50:02
Speaker 2: and Wales is Afghans.
50:05
Speaker 1: Seven times the rate of native Brits.
50:08
Speaker 2: 7X. The number should be zero. It shouldn't be, it
50:11
Speaker 2: shouldn't be, it should be zero examples. Any migrant to
50:14
Speaker 2: a country should not be a rapist. That's a basic
50:17
Speaker 2: thing you would think if you're in a protected society.
50:19
Speaker 2: The Middle East at large, four times the average British rate.
50:23
Speaker 2: North Africa, also four times. Sub-Saharan Africa, three times. So
50:28
Speaker 2: there's other data in there, but those are the top
50:30
Speaker 2: level things. But they're importing people who they know from
50:35
Speaker 2: data to be three, four, seven times more likely to
50:39
Speaker 2: rape the women... And by the way, they don't mention
50:42
Speaker 2: who's getting raped, like who are the rapists if you're
50:45
Speaker 2: some sort of a multiculturalist bleeding heart. Like I bet
50:47
Speaker 2: a lot of these rapes are not just the British
50:50
Speaker 2: citizens here. I bet you a lot of them are
50:52
Speaker 2: the people who came also in those same communities. So
50:55
Speaker 2: this is a international scandal. So I assume Abdul Rahman
51:01
Speaker 2: El-Sayed wants to go over to the UK and work
51:04
Speaker 2: with Zani to arrest all the Afghan migrants.
51:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, because we believe all women, right? In
51:12
Speaker 3: this case, like, seriously. But I'm believe all women pilled
51:17
Speaker 3: in England and Wales. But yeah, you know, it's like
51:20
Speaker 3: so funny. I was having this conversation. I was like
51:22
Speaker 3: talking at my wife like last week and she was like,
51:25
Speaker 3: you know, you're really like, you're really blunt.
51:26
Speaker 1: You know, she's like the way you talk sometimes is
51:29
Speaker 1: a lot. And then as I'm opening my mouth to
51:31
Speaker 1: respond to that, she goes, it's just statistics.
51:34
Speaker 8: Yeah.
51:36
Speaker 1: And, you know, when we.
51:38
Speaker 3: Were texting about this, I was like, gun to your head,
51:40
Speaker 3: gun to your head, who's the worst offenders?
51:44
Speaker 1: Who would you guess?
51:45
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, of course, like, we know this,
51:47
Speaker 3: and that's why the left is extra dangerous. It's like,
51:51
Speaker 3: I'm much less threatened by their economic agenda, although obviously
51:55
Speaker 3: that is menacing, but they're their internet, their foreign policy
52:01
Speaker 3: and their border policy, I should say, like, you know,
52:04
Speaker 3: I keep coming back to this, where their sovereignty policy
52:07
Speaker 3: essentially is so destructive and so scary. And of course,
52:14
Speaker 3: you know, we're not allowed to point this out, or
52:17
Speaker 3: I guess Zannie probably is giving us permission now. I mean,
52:20
Speaker 3: this is just her chart. I'm just looking at it. But,
52:24
Speaker 3: you know, and that's something that the Republicans really missed
52:27
Speaker 3: the opportunity on. Again, it's like, the last time Democrats
52:31
Speaker 3: were in power, we had like, what, like 2 million
52:33
Speaker 3: people a year just like walking, walking through. I mean,
52:37
Speaker 3: if you were to just like get in a car
52:40
Speaker 3: and like drive down Canal Street filming out the window,
52:44
Speaker 3: it is appalling what has been allowed to.
52:47
Speaker 1: Happen to this country.
52:48
Speaker 3: The people here are obviously illegal aliens and they obviously
52:52
Speaker 3: have no regard for our country and its laws. And
52:55
Speaker 3: they're bringing with them, according to this chart, things that
52:59
Speaker 3: are not occurring at the same rates as in the West.
53:02
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to say that? Am I about to
53:04
Speaker 1: get canceled? No, we have to say it. That is
53:06
Speaker 1: the message. That is the only message.
53:08
Speaker 3: And you know, the only person who gets it is
53:09
Speaker 3: obviously the most popular Republican in Congress is Brandon Gill.
53:12
Speaker 1: He's the only person I hear talking like this. Yeah,
53:15
Speaker 1: it's like, hello, that is the message.
53:17
Speaker 2: We got to stop living fear in this stuff urgently
53:20
Speaker 2: as soon as possible, because And you know, one thing
53:23
Speaker 2: we got to do, we got to give an award
53:25
Speaker 2: to Zannie Minton-Beddoes from The Economist. Emma, we got to
53:28
Speaker 2: invent one. Give her an award for this chart so
53:31
Speaker 2: that we could see just like maybe gets... Actually brave.
53:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's brave. It's a brave chart.
53:37
Speaker 2: This is real media boldness is pointing out that the
53:41
Speaker 2: migrants from Africa and the Middle East are raping the
53:45
Speaker 2: people at a higher rate than the native born.
53:47
Speaker 1: And it's important to note that because it is....
53:50
Speaker 2: If we'd value our societies in the West at all,
53:53
Speaker 2: then we need to see a chart like this and
53:55
Speaker 2: just say, well, okay, so time out.
53:56
Speaker 1: So you don't get to come here.
53:57
Speaker 4: None of you, even the best ones.
53:59
Speaker 2: And if you are one of the best ones, If
54:01
Speaker 2: you're a super educated, salt-of-the-earth Nigerian who comes from a
54:06
Speaker 2: great family and has done nothing but work hard your
54:09
Speaker 2: whole life, and you're inclined to get here and you
54:11
Speaker 2: want to be here, well, you might have to put
54:13
Speaker 2: your hand up and say that we got some problems
54:16
Speaker 2: we got to solve in these parts of the world
54:18
Speaker 2: if we want to have an immigration system where the
54:21
Speaker 2: world really is safe. multiculturalist because that's the only way
54:26
Speaker 2: it's going to work where people are going to start
54:27
Speaker 2: waking up to these things. People are not waking up
54:29
Speaker 2: to the fact that by percentage, different groups of people
54:32
Speaker 2: around the world have values that are incompatible with America
54:34
Speaker 2: and they're not leaving those values behind. They're incompatible with
54:38
Speaker 2: the whole West and they're not leaving them behind when
54:40
Speaker 2: they immigrate to the West. And it just makes so
54:42
Speaker 2: many groups of people look bad. And still, it feels
54:46
Speaker 2: like it's like an act of bravery to state data.
54:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, and by the way, doing this stuff and having
54:52
Speaker 3: these conversations, especially from within these communities, actually would probably
54:58
Speaker 3: change in a meaningful way the public sentiment around immigration.
55:03
Speaker 3: The reason why we're here, like, freaking out about this
55:07
Speaker 3: chart is because it's apparently, like, socially unacceptable to talk
55:16
Speaker 3: about what's going on and what are we willing to tolerate. And,
55:20
Speaker 3: you know, I brought this up on the last show
55:22
Speaker 3: and actually the context in which I brought up on
55:24
Speaker 3: the last show was the wrong context.
55:25
Speaker 1: And this is actually the context that it came from.
55:27
Speaker 1: You know, I was talking about on the last show,
55:29
Speaker 1: if anyone missed it, about, you.
55:31
Speaker 3: Know, Zanny interviewing Alice Vidal from the AFD in Germany
55:37
Speaker 3: and like trying to say that because she's a lesbian,
55:40
Speaker 3: she can't have any opinions about reigning in like the
55:43
Speaker 3: trans insanity. And I was saying that, you know, there
55:46
Speaker 3: is like, like, tons of academic work about this, about
55:51
Speaker 3: this concept where the people on the fringes of society
55:54
Speaker 3: actually are the ones most responsible for policing them for
55:58
Speaker 3: many reasons, but for the central reason that it ensures
56:01
Speaker 3: their survival to keep things within the bounds of what
56:05
Speaker 3: is palatable to the mainstream. And once you start to
56:07
Speaker 3: exit what the mainstream can tolerate, all of a sudden
56:10
Speaker 3: there's backlash against the entire.
56:12
Speaker 1: Area of the margin. And this is exactly, actually, the
56:17
Speaker 1: context that this is really cited in is immigrant groups
56:19
Speaker 1: and immigrants, the threshold of what society will tolerate in
56:23
Speaker 1: terms of assimilation and the way people behave as outsiders
56:26
Speaker 1: in that society. And so it's like, yeah, and I mean, the.
56:30
Speaker 3: Left is the worst with this because they're the ones
56:33
Speaker 3: who are saying we have to open our doors to, like,
56:34
Speaker 3: the downtrodden of the globe. And, like, maybe we could
56:38
Speaker 3: be willing to have that conversation, but not while these
56:40
Speaker 3: numbers exist and we're not allowed to talk about it.
56:42
Speaker 1: You nailed it. That's right.
56:45
Speaker 2: We can have those conversations only when these numbers are
56:48
Speaker 2: under control.
56:49
Speaker 4: And I think a, give or take, a number.
56:53
Speaker 2: Give or take the number of rapists who should be
56:55
Speaker 2: immigrating into the West should be zero. It should roughly
56:59
Speaker 2: be the number, zero rapists allowed. Once we get that
57:01
Speaker 2: number close to zero, then we can start talking about
57:04
Speaker 2: what the appropriate immigration numbers are.
57:08
Speaker 1: I want to play this cut. I've been sitting on this, Emma.
57:10
Speaker 2: I thought this was fun, but I did not get
57:11
Speaker 2: to incorporate it in the live show, even though I
57:14
Speaker 2: wanted to. This is a woman from Santa Ana, California,
57:19
Speaker 2: Councilwoman Ty Viet Phan. or fan, admitting that a third
57:25
Speaker 2: of the city is illegal.
57:27
Speaker 4: I thought this was kind of a riot. I'm playing
57:28
Speaker 4: this for you.
57:29
Speaker 5: I think it goes to the core of what it
57:31
Speaker 5: means to be America, which is taxation without representation. And
57:36
Speaker 5: the reality is that a large number of our residents
57:39
Speaker 5: are undocumented, are.
57:40
Speaker 1: Paying taxes, do work in our communities, and are part
57:43
Speaker 1: of our families. What would be your argument to the
57:46
Speaker 1: majority of Santana voters who voted down the possibility of
57:51
Speaker 1: allowing non-citizens to vote?
57:53
Speaker 7: My argument would be, again, people don't feel represented by
57:58
Speaker 7: their government, locally and federally. It's clear, or one of
58:02
Speaker 7: the reasons is because they're not allowed to vote. So
58:05
Speaker 7: this would change that. It gives our people-powered side more
58:11
Speaker 7: ability to fight those special interests that represent people outside
58:14
Speaker 7: the city.
58:17
Speaker 3: How about you go to live in the place where
58:21
Speaker 3: you are the constituency that's allowed to vote, which is
58:23
Speaker 3: where you are a citizen?
58:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
58:28
Speaker 2: Victor Davis Hanson did a lot of work on this subject,
58:30
Speaker 2: and I feel like convinced probably no one about this,
58:32
Speaker 2: but there's supposed to be a difference between a resident
58:35
Speaker 2: and a citizen. I did a three-hour interview with him
58:39
Speaker 2: on the subject. I found it so compelling, and I
58:42
Speaker 2: don't know how many people we got through to. It's
58:43
Speaker 2: got good numbers on YouTube. I don't know how many
58:45
Speaker 2: people we got through to.
58:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I see a VDH video, I'm clicking. Yeah,
58:51
Speaker 1: it was fantastic.
58:53
Speaker 2: He was making the point that citizens are rare and
58:56
Speaker 2: they're to be valued and to be cherished. And just
58:58
Speaker 2: because you live in a certain place, it doesn't make
58:59
Speaker 2: you a citizen. And we had always valued the citizens
59:02
Speaker 2: until recently. And people are elected leaders in a lot
59:05
Speaker 2: of areas. Santa Ana is part of Orange County, which
59:07
Speaker 2: is a formerly red part of California.
59:09
Speaker 1: It's called Santana?
59:11
Speaker 4: Santa Ana.
59:12
Speaker 1: No, Santana? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
59:15
Speaker 2: No, he did the Latinx voice where you do the
59:18
Speaker 2: emphasis just on the Spanish words. It's the only language
59:21
Speaker 2: we do this where we put a lot of emphasis
59:23
Speaker 2: on the pronunciation of Spanish language words when we do this. And, um,
59:29
Speaker 2: it's just, I, I live in Los Angeles and I don't,
59:32
Speaker 2: people aren't always walking around going Los Angeles. Like it's not,
59:35
Speaker 2: it's not a thing that is done, but for some
59:37
Speaker 2: reason we're starting to see some adaptation of that affect.
59:42
Speaker 2: But he was saying, but this is a part of
59:44
Speaker 2: the country that was red and is now purplish, even
59:47
Speaker 2: leaning blue. And they want more illegal aliens to vote
59:51
Speaker 2: because they're not feeling represented by their government, which is
59:54
Speaker 2: increasingly Democrat anyway. Um, It's scary things when you're talking
59:58
Speaker 2: about maybe a third of the city are illegal aliens,
1:00:02
Speaker 2: and the blame is shared from Republicans and Democrats alike,
1:00:05
Speaker 2: dating back to Reagan, of course, the Bushes, and of course,
1:00:07
Speaker 2: all the Democrats that have run the state. All of
1:00:10
Speaker 2: them allowed our borders to be open and let illegal aliens.
1:00:12
Speaker 1: Flood in the country. And of course, you're going to
1:00:14
Speaker 1: build up numbers. You're going to start demanding stuff.
1:00:17
Speaker 2: I don't agree with any of these sentiments these people
1:00:19
Speaker 2: are sharing, but I understand it, and I understand why
1:00:21
Speaker 2: they're doing it, and it was inevitable.
1:00:24
Speaker 3: Well, sorry, I was just playing the video and hoping
1:00:27
Speaker 3: it was on mute and it kept screwing up.
1:00:28
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, well, of course they want, yeah. They
1:00:33
Speaker 1: don't respect the people, like the system as it is
1:00:38
Speaker 1: because it classifies them as illegal aliens and they want
1:00:41
Speaker 1: to live here without having to respect the rules and
1:00:44
Speaker 1: the process. So they want to vote so that they
1:00:47
Speaker 1: can change that or at least have all the same
1:00:51
Speaker 1: access as if they did. And like, I mean, it's so,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: it's so, I don't want to be careful at the
1:01:00
Speaker 1: way that I talk about it, but it's, it's obviously
1:01:03
Speaker 1: meant to serve people who are not constituents in the community.
1:01:09
Speaker 3: And that's why it's like there's this lie. They pull
1:01:12
Speaker 3: this lie where it's like, well, we're equal because we
1:01:15
Speaker 3: live here and we're equal because we pay taxes. First
1:01:18
Speaker 3: of all, they do not pay taxes. I mean, they
1:01:19
Speaker 3: pay taxes to the extent that children pay taxes, which
1:01:22
Speaker 3: is like sales tax is what they're talking about. And
1:01:24
Speaker 3: they use the word taxes to make that sound like
1:01:27
Speaker 3: it's the same as filing.
1:01:29
Speaker 1: For taxes, which they do not do, because these jobs
1:01:32
Speaker 1: are often taken through identity theft. But yeah, like, it's just,
1:01:36
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't a serious conversation. It's just this
1:01:40
Speaker 1: thing that's like dripping in euphemisms so that they don't
1:01:43
Speaker 1: have to say something that would offend rational people's sensibilities,
1:01:47
Speaker 1: which is, hey, we're taking over the system.
1:01:52
Speaker 4: That's what they're saying.
1:01:52
Speaker 2: And so Mark Wayne Mullen put out just earlier today,
1:01:56
Speaker 2: oh no, sorry, it was earlier this week, is a recording,
1:01:58
Speaker 2: that DHS saying over a quarter million non-citizens are registered
1:02:02
Speaker 2: to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada. So
1:02:07
Speaker 2: we're talking about four states only, quarter million non-citizens. And
1:02:09
Speaker 2: so we did this thing where, no, they're not voting illegally.
1:02:12
Speaker 2: It's only a handful of people. You still hear it
1:02:14
Speaker 2: sometimes that we're really, it's only a handful of people.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: It's not a major issue. It actually doesn't happen.
1:02:18
Speaker 1: That's a conspiracy theory.
1:02:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:02:20
Speaker 2: And so we got a quarter million registered in these
1:02:23
Speaker 2: four states. And then you get videos of illegal aliens
1:02:25
Speaker 2: openly saying, we want the vote. We deserve the vote.
1:02:28
Speaker 2: We're getting taxation without representation. even though the percentage that
1:02:32
Speaker 2: illegal aliens are paying.
1:02:33
Speaker 1: Like a Diet Coke and you got taxed 20 cents
1:02:36
Speaker 1: or whatever.
1:02:37
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
1:02:38
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:02:38
Speaker 2: Well, the five cents, if I don't go to the
1:02:41
Speaker 2: recycling center and turn in my Diet Coke bottle, then
1:02:44
Speaker 2: I'm paying an extra 10%, 10 cents in taxes on
1:02:47
Speaker 2: that bottle. Like that's what we're talking about. And there's
1:02:51
Speaker 2: keep in the Southland where I'm at, they keep all
1:02:54
Speaker 2: these illegal alien run stores, storefronts. They're not stores. They're
1:02:59
Speaker 2: just street vendors are popping up everywhere. And they're all
1:03:03
Speaker 2: over the community. They're not sanitary. They're putting out of
1:03:06
Speaker 2: business the brick-and-mortar shops that actually do pay in the
1:03:09
Speaker 2: tax base. And both mayoral candidates in L.A. pander to
1:03:13
Speaker 2: the street vendors. So are we liking this? Is this
1:03:18
Speaker 2: something that we're comfortable with?
1:03:20
Speaker 1: No, I mean, honestly, it's like I'm sick to my
1:03:22
Speaker 1: stomach having this conversation with you because it is obviously–
1:03:26
Speaker 1: so violating. It is a central reason, or at least.
1:03:33
Speaker 3: The reason for many factors contributing to the tone of
1:03:38
Speaker 3: voice that was just so gut-wrenching that we heard at
1:03:41
Speaker 3: the beginning of this show from that man. And this
1:03:45
Speaker 3: is a very easy sell to the American people, which
1:03:49
Speaker 3: is the cities run by the left are at least
1:03:55
Speaker 3: equally catered to illegal aliens in their priorities. And that
1:04:00
Speaker 3: is not what the contract of your citizenship is. And
1:04:06
Speaker 3: we are here to uphold the contract of your citizenship
1:04:09
Speaker 3: to you. And that can be vague, but that just
1:04:12
Speaker 3: that message alone in this conversation that we're having in
1:04:15
Speaker 3: very vague terms is so compelling.
1:04:18
Speaker 1: It is what won Trump the popular vote.
1:04:20
Speaker 3: So like, It just— it sickens me that we're sitting on
1:04:25
Speaker 3: a podcast commenting on this and that this isn't what
1:04:30
Speaker 3: we were being hammered from Republicans for the last year.
1:04:34
Speaker 1: One last point on this.
1:04:39
Speaker 2: It's noteworthy how the phrase undocumented, the longer you think
1:04:43
Speaker 2: about it, you realize that these people are having— They
1:04:47
Speaker 2: haven't even signed the guest book at any point. They
1:04:50
Speaker 2: didn't even get a notice to appear. Like, you get
1:04:52
Speaker 2: a document, right? If you get a parole, then you
1:04:54
Speaker 2: get to show up in court in 19 months. So
1:04:58
Speaker 2: it's all just, it's very disturbing.
1:05:00
Speaker 3: They're undocumented in a much worse sense than that term
1:05:04
Speaker 3: thinks it means.
1:05:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, undocumented is kind of worse than illegal alien. Like,
1:05:07
Speaker 2: illegal alien sounds more serious, but... It's not good. Like,
1:05:11
Speaker 2: so you're here with nothing? Like, no one gave you
1:05:14
Speaker 2: a permission slip to be here? My kids need a
1:05:16
Speaker 2: document to go to the La Brea Tar Pits, like,
1:05:18
Speaker 2: on the school bus. It's like, it's the, you have
1:05:20
Speaker 2: no documents. Like, you're just, establish residence here and then
1:05:23
Speaker 2: you want to vote? Like, you have no documentation at all?
1:05:25
Speaker 2: It's the, I don't think that term is what people
1:05:27
Speaker 2: think it is.
1:05:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, and I mean, sitting and thinking about it
1:05:31
Speaker 3: long enough, it's like, it's so, it's such odious behavior.
1:05:34
Speaker 3: You know, you always have the left who, like, they've been, uh,
1:05:39
Speaker 3: been actually it wasn't even left it was like cbs
1:05:42
Speaker 3: which was like so crazy i thought cbs now was
1:05:44
Speaker 3: supposed to be based they ran this whole sob story
1:05:47
Speaker 3: on 60 minutes about uh how like dhs is deporting
1:05:52
Speaker 3: all of these people who haven't even committed violent crimes
1:05:56
Speaker 3: it's like that's what the threshold is that's what we're
1:05:59
Speaker 3: supposed to be waiting for.
1:06:02
Speaker 4: I don't know.
1:06:03
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want these shows to be sad.
1:06:06
Speaker 2: I'm trying to come up with something positive we can
1:06:09
Speaker 2: say to round things out for today. What am I missing?
1:06:13
Speaker 2: There's anything from your list that I didn't get to?
1:06:16
Speaker 1: Oh, I got one. I got a good one.
1:06:18
Speaker 4: I got a good one.
1:06:21
Speaker 2: You're going to bring us home here because I already
1:06:23
Speaker 2: did my commentary on the live show on this. But
1:06:27
Speaker 2: Amy Acton had got into the Appletinis. I got to
1:06:31
Speaker 2: come up with a trend. What are people having these days?
1:06:33
Speaker 2: Because it's a, it might not be Appletini. I don't
1:06:36
Speaker 2: think that's, I'm dating myself with that reference. But she
1:06:39
Speaker 2: got into.
1:06:40
Speaker 3: You can tell by the slur that this is like
1:06:43
Speaker 3: wine moms. Yeah.
1:06:46
Speaker 2: She just, just a, just a Chris Shibley or two
1:06:49
Speaker 2: or 10. And then she took this. took the stage
1:06:53
Speaker 2: for a campaign rally. And Vivek is trying to throw
1:06:56
Speaker 2: the race.
1:06:56
Speaker 3: There's a certain quality to the mess, you know, that
1:06:59
Speaker 3: she displays.
1:07:01
Speaker 2: Listen, I've got to know Vivek quite a bit over
1:07:04
Speaker 2: the years, and he's super, super smart. I think he
1:07:07
Speaker 2: really wants to do a good job if he gets
1:07:09
Speaker 2: elected governor of Ohio. And I've said how much I
1:07:13
Speaker 2: disagree with a lot of his immigration takes and Um,
1:07:16
Speaker 2: he is just, he's got this eager puppy dog attitude.
1:07:19
Speaker 4: This is not gonna be for everyone.
1:07:20
Speaker 2: I think it'd be a perfectly good governor of Ohio,
1:07:22
Speaker 2: but it feels like he's running a campaign where it's
1:07:24
Speaker 2: almost like he's trying not to win some of the
1:07:26
Speaker 2: stuff he's doing with some of the ads and some
1:07:28
Speaker 2: of the policy positions.
1:07:30
Speaker 1: And yet he should still win.
1:07:32
Speaker 2: All Amy Acton has to do is not show up
1:07:35
Speaker 2: loaded to the campaign stops and she's got it.
1:07:38
Speaker 1: But yet this is what we get. Oh, it's so good.
1:07:41
Speaker 1: Good to be back here at UAW.
1:07:46
Speaker 3: It's about truth and justice, I just wrote on the
1:07:50
Speaker 3: words back here.
1:07:53
Speaker 1: I'm honored to be here. We've been in Toledo a lot.
1:07:57
Speaker 3: There's a big energy going on here.
1:08:00
Speaker 1: I can feel it. Oh, my goodness.
1:08:05
Speaker 3: First of all, I just want to say to you,
1:08:09
Speaker 3: You know, it has been quite a week this past week.
1:08:12
Speaker 1: And Eric and I just want to thank everyone. Your
1:08:16
Speaker 1: support and love have met the.
1:08:20
Speaker 3: This was me thanking people for coming to my 30th
1:08:25
Speaker 3: birthday party at Beach Cafe. It's crazy because I was
1:08:34
Speaker 3: so down on Vivek over the last few days or
1:08:38
Speaker 3: whenever he put out that horror ad.
1:08:41
Speaker 1: I was so triggered by that.
1:08:43
Speaker 3: I was like, this guy literally filmed a woman humiliating
1:08:48
Speaker 3: her daughter. And then, like, said, vote for me at
1:08:53
Speaker 3: the end of it. Like, there was something that was
1:08:55
Speaker 3: so vile about that.
1:08:57
Speaker 4: For the sake of the attorneys, this was.
1:08:59
Speaker 2: he did not literally do that and also was consultants
1:09:02
Speaker 2: who presumably are working on his behalf but are not
1:09:05
Speaker 2: him directly.
1:09:06
Speaker 4: I don't know his exact connections. Sorry, Larry.
1:09:09
Speaker 1: But this was the ad we've gone through.
1:09:11
Speaker 2: I'm telling you for the attorneys because people have been
1:09:14
Speaker 2: known to.
1:09:15
Speaker 1: Get the law involved. But this was the ad.
1:09:18
Speaker 3: Larry Solove, I apologize for.
1:09:22
Speaker 1: Saying that that way.
1:09:23
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, that whole saga happened with the
1:09:27
Speaker 3: ad and I was really blackmailed about it.
1:09:29
Speaker 1: I was really upset.
1:09:30
Speaker 3: And then she comes out and she's like, it's closing
1:09:34
Speaker 3: statements for the whole campaign.
1:09:36
Speaker 1: And she just comes out like Kamala Harris could never. No, no, no, no.
1:09:43
Speaker 2: Now I got to reappraise if Kamala was loaded.
1:09:47
Speaker 1: Retard. Yeah. And everyone was playing that clip.
1:09:52
Speaker 2: I don't know if I got around to playing it, but,
1:09:53
Speaker 2: but the woman I, maybe I did play it on
1:09:55
Speaker 2: live show, but the woman who had was the city
1:09:58
Speaker 2: council woman who had, I sounded drunk and then admitted
1:10:02
Speaker 2: she'd had three beers, which I don't know what girl
1:10:04
Speaker 2: math is, Emma, but boy math is three beers is
1:10:07
Speaker 2: infinity beers.
1:10:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. That was boy math. Yeah.
1:10:12
Speaker 2: It's like one beer is not one beer. One beer
1:10:14
Speaker 2: is a couple of beers. A couple of beers is
1:10:18
Speaker 2: usually whatever is your normal allotment. Like whatever is your
1:10:20
Speaker 2: normal dosage of alcohol, that's a couple of beers. Three beers,
1:10:24
Speaker 2: that is, I am in the bag.
1:10:27
Speaker 1: I am booming.
1:10:28
Speaker 4: I went for it tonight.
1:10:31
Speaker 3: When the friend invited her out before that interview, she
1:10:34
Speaker 3: was like, okay, but I'm only having one drink.
1:10:38
Speaker 1: Right. Yes. I'm into this concept.
1:10:42
Speaker 2: So for me, for the boy math, I think the
1:10:45
Speaker 2: boy math is one beer is up to two beers.
1:10:49
Speaker 2: Two beers is my usual dosage. And three beers is
1:10:52
Speaker 2: infinity beers.
1:10:53
Speaker 1: Is that about right? Yeah, well, one beer is up
1:10:56
Speaker 1: to two beers. Two beers is five beers.
1:10:58
Speaker 3: And then three beers is like you're vomiting next to
1:11:02
Speaker 3: the bar.
1:11:05
Speaker 4: Cancel all my plans for tomorrow.
1:11:06
Speaker 1: Here's what's going on, though. Pissed when you got home. Yeah,
1:11:14
Speaker 1: it's just, oh, man.
1:11:15
Speaker 2: Mine's a doctor, so there's very low tolerance for the—
1:11:21
Speaker 2: bad behavior in that regard is.
1:11:24
Speaker 4: Not a common thing in the Marlowe household for obvious reasons.
1:11:28
Speaker 2: So, Emma, this is, though, compelling to me because I
1:11:33
Speaker 2: feel like we're making fun of her, and now there's
1:11:35
Speaker 2: multiple shows I'm making fun of her for behaving this way,
1:11:39
Speaker 2: I do feel like there's a chance that someone chirps
1:11:42
Speaker 2: up in a DM somewhere or in a mention that they're.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: Making fun of an abuse victim.
1:11:47
Speaker 2: So like she should be entitled to go out and
1:11:49
Speaker 2: do a stump speech loaded because she was abused by
1:11:53
Speaker 2: her stepfather.
1:11:54
Speaker 4: And I don't know.
1:11:57
Speaker 1: That's where we are now.
1:11:59
Speaker 3: I am not getting emotionally blackmailed by that. That is too, no, no, no. See,
1:12:07
Speaker 3: I'm very sensitive actually to all of this. And I,
1:12:10
Speaker 3: and I tried to actually on Twitter, like was like,
1:12:15
Speaker 3: I wasn't stumping for her or anything, but you know,
1:12:17
Speaker 3: on Twitter, I really did say like, that was totally
1:12:20
Speaker 3: below the belt.
1:12:20
Speaker 1: That was totally out of bounds. What the hell? And
1:12:23
Speaker 1: I've done that on this show too, you know, about, Yeah.
1:12:25
Speaker 3: Anyone like I'm the first person to say I don't
1:12:27
Speaker 3: believe in like just like humiliation for the sake of it.
1:12:30
Speaker 3: I think that that's just like there's something spiritually gross
1:12:33
Speaker 3: about that. And like my vibration can't handle that. But,
1:12:38
Speaker 3: you know, that said, if you burned it, I'm going
1:12:42
Speaker 3: to take a shit out of you.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: Emma Jo Morris is a consultant for Beck & Stone
1:12:48
Speaker 2: and throwing her some business makes it extra worthwhile for
1:12:51
Speaker 2: her to do the show. We've got a podcast we
1:12:54
Speaker 2: do every week just about this time. And we love
1:12:57
Speaker 2: to do it, as you guys can tell. We sincerely
1:13:00
Speaker 2: enjoy it. And thank you for all the great feedback
1:13:01
Speaker 2: that we get on these episodes in particular.
1:13:03
Speaker 4: We get a lot.
1:13:03
Speaker 2: Follow her on the Everything app. at Emma Jo NYC.
1:13:07
Speaker 2: And Emma, we will talk next week. Happy Halloween. Consider
1:13:10
Speaker 2: doing something fun and festive.
1:13:12
Speaker 8: Oh, thank you.
1:13:13
Speaker 3: No, I'm going to go home and spurg out about
1:13:17
Speaker 3: what you said. Maybe there'll be a little DM from
1:13:22
Speaker 3: me of my kid dressed as a ladybug or something.
1:13:25
Speaker 1: No wishes, though.
1:13:26
Speaker 2: And feel free to have up to two glasses of
1:13:30
Speaker 2: Grand Cru this weekend, but not.
1:13:32
Speaker 4: do not hit third.
1:13:34
Speaker 3: Cause you know, look, my thing is, my thing is like,
1:13:36
Speaker 3: especially like, you know, when you're married, sort of, but whatever,
1:13:40
Speaker 3: when you have kids, like there's like an invisible, there's
1:13:43
Speaker 3: an invisible box that's like drawn around you. And, and
1:13:47
Speaker 3: the box is, is this going to be humiliating in
1:13:51
Speaker 3: front of my kid? You know, if my kid wakes up,
1:13:55
Speaker 3: you know, if I'm walking in at 11 o'clock and
1:13:57
Speaker 3: my kid wakes up for some reason and, uh, She's
1:14:00
Speaker 3: been into like having her nose wiped lately. She'll like
1:14:02
Speaker 3: literally wake up at night and ask us to just
1:14:03
Speaker 3: come wipe her nose and then we can walk back
1:14:05
Speaker 3: out and she'll just go back to sleep. It's a
1:14:06
Speaker 3: very funny shtick. But if she needs her nose wiped
1:14:10
Speaker 3: and she walks out of her room and I am
1:14:12
Speaker 3: not presentable in terms of like my messiness, that can't happen.
1:14:20
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. That's my kind of standard if
1:14:24
Speaker 1: I'm like having drinks or something. It's like, am I
1:14:26
Speaker 1: going home and is my kid going to look at
1:14:27
Speaker 1: me and think I look like an idiot? And if
1:14:30
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, then I am stopping before that. Yes.
1:14:33
Speaker 1: You know, there's a, there's the, you know, that was
1:14:35
Speaker 1: also how I saw the gnome husband thing. It was like, Oh,
1:14:39
Speaker 1: you exited the box. Your kid is going to see these.
1:14:42
Speaker 2: This is a huge rabbit hole that I would love
1:14:46
Speaker 2: to do an episode of this. Cause I've got, I've
1:14:48
Speaker 2: thought about this, but I admit I don't purport to
1:14:50
Speaker 2: be an expert, but yeah, but I got the very minimal, uh,
1:14:54
Speaker 2: of the that sort of indulgence should be done in
1:14:57
Speaker 2: front of the kids and like zero tolerance for you
1:14:59
Speaker 2: know drunkenness in front of the.
1:15:02
Speaker 3: Anyone involved drinks i mean i have a couple of
