- 0:30Speaker 2: and Culter, how.
- 0:31Speaker 1: You doing fantastic? Wow? How about that California race? Mark Simone, Well,
- 0:38Speaker 1: what do you think?
- 0:38Speaker 2: Hilton got more votes than anybody? But if you can
- 0:41Speaker 2: bind all the Democrats, it's more than Hilton. I don't know.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Can he win a state wide as well?
- 0:47Speaker 1: I was considering how depressed I was going into the
- 0:51Speaker 1: election yesterday. I just thought, it's California. There's no hope
- 0:55Speaker 1: to have Hilton and Pratt both at least at this point.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I mean, they've only count into fifty six sixty percent
- 1:02Speaker 1: of the vote. It will be, as Nate Silver keeps
- 1:05Speaker 1: pointing out, this is absurd in a first world country
- 1:07Speaker 1: that it will take two weeks for them to tell
- 1:09Speaker 1: us who won the election in California. No, exactly right.
- 1:16Speaker 1: I think Pratt's second place finish is fear enough above
- 1:22Speaker 1: that ridiculous Indian City councilwoman, and she is utterly ridiculous
- 1:28Speaker 1: that I think that is too big to steal. Well
- 1:31Speaker 1: except California, exactly. These are California Democrats, Hilton. I mean,
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'm thrilled. I'm so excited. It'll be suspicious, and so
- 1:42Speaker 1: many people are watching this race. And then, yeah, we
- 1:46Speaker 1: have the general election, so I'll probably be depressed on
- 1:50Speaker 1: that day to anticipating the worst. But it's way more
- 1:54Speaker 1: possible now than it was yesterday that a Republican could
- 1:58Speaker 1: become the governor, and a Republican and become the mayor
- 2:00Speaker 1: of New York. I've been surprised looking at this and
- 2:04Speaker 1: knowing people from the industry in LA, how many people
- 2:10Speaker 1: who would never have supported a Republican are supporting Spencer Pratt.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And not just because his campaign has been fabulous, which
- 2:19Speaker 1: it has been. All those videos online are spectacular. But La.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I mean, it's the most beautiful city in the world,
- 2:30Speaker 1: in the most beautiful state in the world. Only Democrats
- 2:33Speaker 1: could wreck this and it's unbelievable what Democrats have done
- 2:37Speaker 1: to that town.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yeah, but is this one of those every so often
- 2:41Speaker 2: there's a race where the poles aren't even measuring it
- 2:43Speaker 2: because people in a certain city they're so upset, they're
- 2:47Speaker 2: so afraid to go out there, have to the place
- 2:49Speaker 2: burn down. The other halfs a war zone that they're
- 2:52Speaker 2: lying to the pulses they're actually going to go pull
- 2:54Speaker 2: a lever for Pratt. Do you think that's the case?
- 2:57Speaker 1: I hope. So. The problem in California is not only
- 3:02Speaker 1: that you have the problem of lots of people who
- 3:10Speaker 1: are dumb but think they're smart. I mean, way more
- 3:13Speaker 1: than you have in a place like New York. But
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's the public sector unions, which, by the way, should
- 3:20Speaker 1: never ever government workers should never be allowed to unionize.
- 3:24Speaker 1: It's absurd, It doesn't make any sense. The whole point
- 3:26Speaker 1: of a union is it's, you know, the workers against
- 3:29Speaker 1: the capitalist lackeys, and the boss is trying to drive
- 3:33Speaker 1: down your wages and make you work harder, work harder,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and the workers don't have any bargaining power unless, oh,
- 3:40Speaker 1: we all get together and we're going to go on
- 3:42Speaker 1: strike unless you increase our wages. Okay, that's the idea
- 3:45Speaker 1: of a union. In the case of government unions, that
- 3:50Speaker 1: the boss, they are the ones who elect their bosses.
- 3:54Speaker 1: They go out and vote for the Democrats so they
- 3:57Speaker 1: can keep working less and less and less and keep
- 4:00Speaker 1: making more and more and more. I don't know if
- 4:02Speaker 1: you saw this last night. I tweeted it something like
- 4:05Speaker 1: ten ten California government officials make about as much as
- 4:10Speaker 1: the low man on the totem pole playing for the
- 4:15Speaker 1: LA Dodgers, Like ten state employees making half a million
- 4:21Speaker 1: dollars a year for generally no show jobs, can't be fired,
- 4:26Speaker 1: get all federal vacations off, lots of sick days, and well,
- 4:35Speaker 1: I mean, simply not being able to be fired is
- 4:37Speaker 1: a pretty big advantage that in the real world you
- 4:41Speaker 1: take less money for that level of job security. No,
- 4:45Speaker 1: not in the government you get everything, You get everything,
- 4:49Speaker 1: and you're paid more than people in private sector.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Hey, let's talk about that, Scott Pelly, this guy, sanctimonious,
- 4:58Speaker 2: pompous asked, is he these fake news guys, these left
- 5:02Speaker 2: wing media, the self importance that they I mean, they're
- 5:07Speaker 2: setting world records for it. Will will they ever see reality?
- 5:12Speaker 1: Kelly is among the worst. I'm I'm a little disappointed
- 5:18Speaker 1: in Barry Wise for not just coming straight in and
- 5:20Speaker 1: firing him, but in a way this is. This is
- 5:23Speaker 1: more fun watching his sanctimonious exit. But no, every he
- 5:28Speaker 1: is his politics are finger to the wind. What what
- 5:32Speaker 1: does the Democratic Party want me to say? What's my
- 5:35Speaker 1: position now? I mean, you have some great tweets pointing
- 5:37Speaker 1: out of him taking so seriously the preposterous Russia investigation
- 5:43Speaker 1: utterly completely preposterous. I mean, a lot of frauds the
- 5:47Speaker 1: MSM have pushed on us over the years seem at
- 5:52Speaker 1: least initially plausible. Maybe it's true. Oh gosh, I hope
- 5:56Speaker 1: it's not. This Republican said something. Turns out it's it's
- 6:02Speaker 1: completely you know, ripped apart, a joke or something. But
- 6:05Speaker 1: this from the outset, from the very concept of it,
- 6:10Speaker 1: is this utterly disorganized Trump campaign in twenty sixteen. Well,
- 6:17Speaker 1: he's this master strategist conspiring with the the Putin and Russia.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It was just so utterly mad from the beginning. And
- 6:27Speaker 1: of course now we all know that it was being
- 6:29Speaker 1: pushed by Andrew Weisman, with that poor dementia patient running
- 6:32Speaker 1: the Russia investigation as the frontman puppet Robert Moller. So
- 6:39Speaker 1: for him to be being so somber and serious about
- 6:42Speaker 1: the possibility that Trump was a threat to national security
- 6:45Speaker 1: direct threat. I have some some I've written about Kelly.
- 6:50Speaker 1: He's he's been, He's been my own target for his ridiculousness.
- 6:56Speaker 1: One time, I forget what the you know, they're constantly
- 6:58Speaker 1: calling Trump a liar, felon, who knows what the issue was.
- 7:02Speaker 1: But he came out and called the President a felon.
- 7:07Speaker 1: It was so great. Was the rest of the media
- 7:10Speaker 1: just exploded in admiration for him. Whoa, he's tred ground
- 7:18Speaker 1: where no one else is gone. And then you know,
- 7:20Speaker 1: you do a quick next to search. Everybody's called him
- 7:22Speaker 1: a felony.
- 7:24Speaker 2: But to go into the new boss and scream at
- 7:27Speaker 2: a like a Madia can call him every name in
- 7:29Speaker 2: the world. What goes through his head? Is he thinking
- 7:32Speaker 2: they can't fire me? I'm Scott Pelley? Is that what
- 7:34Speaker 2: he was thinking?
- 7:36Speaker 1: I suspect not quite that. But I'm going to go
- 7:40Speaker 1: out probably figured that writing was on the wall anyway.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Oh the media will love me for this. I'll be
- 7:49Speaker 1: interviewed all over I'll be written up admiringly in the
- 7:52Speaker 1: New York Times. Think of what my obituary will read.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I think that has a lot more media still has
- 7:58Speaker 1: a lot of power.
- 8:00Speaker 2: That's interesting. So where will he turn up? I know
- 8:04Speaker 2: he'll do an interview CNN, Rachel Maddaw. Where will he
- 8:08Speaker 2: eventually wind up?
- 8:11Speaker 1: Maybe he could take Stephen Colbert's spot. They're about his
- 8:14Speaker 1: funny So yeah, but I will tell you there's he will.
- 8:20Speaker 1: He'll be teaching it, like you know, Harvard Kennedy School
- 8:22Speaker 1: or Columbia Journalism School. Liberals, you cannot go poor in
- 8:27Speaker 1: America as a liberal. It simply is not possible. I
- 8:31Speaker 1: did this as one of my five stories you might
- 8:34Speaker 1: have missed. A couple of weeks ago. I came upon,
- 8:37Speaker 1: sort of by accident, the lawyer for Meta who was
- 8:43Speaker 1: approving all of the censorship that the Biden administration was
- 8:49Speaker 1: pushing on Facebook. It was Facebook because he was Facebook,
- 8:55Speaker 1: not Twitter. But one of the major the social media
- 8:57Speaker 1: giants are only only three or four of them, was
- 9:01Speaker 1: this girl lawyer, and you know she's overseeing everything. She's
- 9:05Speaker 1: head legal censor at Meta, and she's now teaching at
- 9:12Speaker 1: Harvard Law School. That's fantastic. Get somebody who hasn't read
- 9:19Speaker 1: the First Amendment, let's have her teach. You can't go
- 9:23Speaker 1: poor in America as a liberal.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Hey, so Pelly was always screaming like that the commencement
- 9:28Speaker 2: speature even today about the liberal We're being censored, We're
- 9:33Speaker 2: being silenced. You're right. Where was a liberal ever silenced?
- 9:36Speaker 2: When did this ever happen? Anywhere?
- 9:39Speaker 1: Would they consider anyone giving them a dyspeptic look a
- 9:43Speaker 1: form of censorship for actually banning people from throwing them
- 9:49Speaker 1: off Twitter? Facebook? I mean, I've used the example before.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I just saw a video of me going around talking
- 9:55Speaker 1: about it many many years ago, but even before you
- 9:59Speaker 1: on took over to it. But it's it's really just
- 10:01Speaker 1: studying Milonianopolis and Gavin McGinnis, whatever you think of them,
- 10:06Speaker 1: were wildly popular on YouTube and Facebook. Mila was making
- 10:14Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars a months. Gavin McGinnis had
- 10:18Speaker 1: the most viewed video on YouTube. It was a funny
- 10:21Speaker 1: sketch of him how to fight a baby. Probably half
- 10:24Speaker 1: the people listening right now have seen it because it
- 10:26Speaker 1: was hilarious. And in Gavin's case, for having absolutely nothing
- 10:32Speaker 1: to do with Charlottesville. Remember Charlottesville, that was grounds for
- 10:36Speaker 1: just a mass purge of conservatis. He had nothing to
- 10:40Speaker 1: do with it. He was up in in in his
- 10:42Speaker 1: you know, suburban home outside of New York with his family.
- 10:46Speaker 1: He read about Charlottesville the same way the rest of
- 10:49Speaker 1: us did, but he was head of the Proud Boys.
- 10:51Speaker 1: He gets thrown off YouTube and and all social media
- 10:54Speaker 1: on Twitter and all of them Milo, who knows what
- 10:57Speaker 1: it was. He was always saying outrageous things. That's why
- 11:00Speaker 1: so many people watched him. He was funny. Uh and
- 11:03Speaker 1: he he just became persona non grata.
- 11:06Speaker 2: See they were actually bad.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Drudge about this at the time, because I said, this,
- 11:11Speaker 1: Drudge is a complete disaster. This is they've they've completely
- 11:15Speaker 1: muzzled these two very popular, pretty much I guess, right wing,
- 11:23Speaker 1: but very popular, and especially with young kids, young young
- 11:28Speaker 1: boys from my friends, of kids of my friends eleven
- 11:33Speaker 1: years old. They loved Milow, they loved Gabn just wiped away,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and Drudge said, oh no, no, he's bigger than ever
- 11:39Speaker 1: because he was making headlines for being thrown off every place.
- 11:42Speaker 1: So you get one day of press or hell, you've
- 11:45Speaker 1: been thrown off, and then you're gone.
