• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Very good? Tell every when you're on Rumble.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'm on Rumble. I post live videos Mondays and Thursdays
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: five pm. At least we're shooting for five pm. It
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: was a slight delay on Monday interviews or just me
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: chattering about the events of the week.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: What do you mean you shoot for five p It's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: got to be five pm. It's a TV show.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I know. Well, we did it really well the first
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: few times. I'll do better tomorrow.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Speaking of television, are you going to be watching tomorrow
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: night as the idol Colbert Show?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Like nine percent of America's No, I will not be
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you know, it's too bad. He used to be No
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: one even remembers this now, but he used to be funny.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And then, I mean, all these late night hosts used
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to be funny. But they really took a turn getting
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: into partisan politics. That made them a little different from
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: MSNBC hosts, who, by the way, also think they're hilarious.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: That's very cute. Cute, cute cute. There really wasn't much difference.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: But you know, we can get that twenty four to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: seven and young people won't remember this. I mean, you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: know better than anyone. But the old style late night
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: TV like Jay Leno and Johnny Carson absolutely no partisan bent.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the idea of late night was you'd have some
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: laughs and relax and laugh and be entertained before you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. Who came up with the idea, let's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: get you riled up and get you viciously angry right
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: before you go to sleep.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's not I mean, it's just it's for as comedians say, clapped,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: not for laughter.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. Yeah, this trend started like last
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: few years of a letterman. You tell a joke that's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so anti Trump or anti Republican that the audience will clap.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They call it clapter. You're not after a laugh anymore.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you about these people that they
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't even want to laugh anymore?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Well, as comedians also say, comedy is hard. Having an
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: opinion is not hard. Being sneering is not hard. And
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's just a lazy way of doing comedy. We don't
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: need to be funny. We just need to come up
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: with this string of vicious adjectives about Donald Trump.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's a very good point. Yeah, all right, that's a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: great way to explain it. Hey, speaking of Donald Trump,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the name will be changed in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach the airport too, Donald J. Trump Airport in July.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Won't that be worth it just to watch liberals go
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: crazy having to fly in there and look at that
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: name everywhere.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid you and I parked company on this. There
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: are many things I president about whom I wrote the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: book in Trump We Trust, I did see. And this
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: is why, this is why I the actual upside of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of getting my news from the New York Times and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: MSNBC is that they are incessant string of denunciations of him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Just put me in a great mood because everything they're
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: upset about are exactly the things I like about him. Yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: just saw headlined in the New York Times yesterday. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: this is an answer to your question, by the way,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: about how the Trump administration will be letting in I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: don't know, something like seventeen thousand white South Africans, which
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is very very upset about because they've only had fifty
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: years to bring in the dregs of the Third World.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: How dare you bring in educated white people? This will
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: completely throw off the balance of the country. So yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love when he goes after the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: open egregious discrimination against particularly white males, but white people generally.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I like him taking down all the PC nonsense on
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: our national parks and gosh, I hope. I was not
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: wild about Trump's picks for Department of Homeland Security, Mark Mullins,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: because he had said some terrible, terrible things about amnesty
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: in the past, who seemed to be open to it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But it appears that he is actually continuing the deportations
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: without without ticking everybody off, which is perfect. That's great.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So these are the things I like about our president,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: park Simone, the the imitation of Caesar or I don't know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the Tsar's court. No, this is this is very bad.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Can you blame a lot of that?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Not as bad as other things he's doing?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Wait, can you blame a lot of that ice stuff
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: on Christy know who made it such a spectacle that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: it drew too much attention to what Ice was doing,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: bad attention. Once she's gone, everything calmed down.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I would like to point out that she
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: was the one cabinet official I was vehemently opposed to.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I was quite happy with most of them, and at
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: least not not others. No, she was always ridiculous. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it's the I mean, I suppose Treasury. Some may say
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Treasury is slightly more important, but by my life, Department
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security is the most important position in Trump's cabinet,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and he picks this bimbo. It was. It was preposterous
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because she was because she's dating Corey Lewandowski. That was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a disaster. Okay, so that goes into con column.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, we know you got a con column. When it
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: comes to further Hey, you know it's college graduation season.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm watching some of these commencement speeches. These colleges are
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the most radical left wing and Doctrine Nation centers. Tell
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: everybody what it used to be like. Didn't you used
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to go speak at colleges? It was very common to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: have speakers from both sides of the aisle and have
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: debate where that's all gone.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't exactly Nirvana, but I didn't want Nirvana. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: wanted not necessarily protesters, but you know, as long as
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: they stood outside I wanted. It was actually pretty good advertising.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Having them stand outside with signs denouncing me got a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: lot of attention to the speech. But it used to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be in particularly. I wrote about this in one of
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: my books. I think it's if Democrats had any brains,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: they'd be Republicans at the beginning. I write about this
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that I think for about fifteen years I gave more
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: college speeches than certainly any other conservative and sort of
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: contrary to my expectation, better schools you would never you
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: would never have people I don't know, throwing stuff, rushing
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the stage, you know, trying to do you physical harm,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: or just or simply standing outside protesting. They wanted to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: beat you in question and answer because they were smart kids. Yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So before i'd go to a college, i'd check what
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the average SAT was to see how difficult it was
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: going to be. Now, maybe from the SAT optional period
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: during COVID, it's every college. It's just you have to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: worry about just NonStop violence.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So when did it all go crazy. Was it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: when Trump came along that they just cranked it up
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and went nuts on the left?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it was Trump that that really broke
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the left's brains. I mean we saw it in so
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: many ways, with the media dropping its famed objectivity. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I say that sarcastically. It's not like they were particularly
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: objective before. I mean back when I wrote slander in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: what was that two thousand and three, nine of people
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in the major newsrooms Washington Post, New York Times had
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: voted for the Democrat. So you know, you can try
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to put a feelings as much as possible, but that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: is not going to lead to an actual objective reporting.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a question of what you're going to report.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: For example, any of them when Trump ran, the New
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: York Times actually made an official decision that it was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: okay to call a politicianal liar. That's just one example
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of how they changed. And I just think a lot
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of them really really lost their minds with Trump. Though
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I have to say it is on both sides. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people on our side lost their
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: minds too. There is very little objectivity you have obviously,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the hatred and violence of the left is quite a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: bit worse. But going in the con column on Trump,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the fact that he does seem to have this cult
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: following that, I mean, there's nothing about principle or issues
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: or what he stands for. He could come out with
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the full platform of Bernie Sanders or AOC and you
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: would have not all of them, obviously, not you, not me,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: but you would have a a fairly large portion of them.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know twenty percent, thirty percent who will absolutely
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: swear fidelity to him. And that's something we never used
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to see among Republicans. You would see it among Democrats.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Is something I described in my book Demonic. With all
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: these these I mean, it can't happen with Democrat president
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: after Democrat president, all these female journalists would be writing
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: articles about their sex dreams about Obama or their sex
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: dreams about Belle Clinton. I promise you no conservative, as
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: much as we loved, have ever had a sex dream
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: about Ronald Reagan. And in fact, we tend to be
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: kind of tough on or in the past. This is
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the classic Republican tough on our leaders because we were
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the party of ideas. I think there is a portion
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of the right of the Trump supporters that are not
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: about ideas. It really is a personality cult, and I
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: hope it goes away with Trump. There's a lot to
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: like about him. There's some things there aren't, but you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: really giving up the whole party of ideas or standing
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: on principle or caring about freedom or the Constitution or
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: anything else. That's why I have a list of pros
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and cons. There's some things he's doing great and some
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: things he's not doing so great.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: All right, well, and culture, we're out of time. But
• 11:19

• 12:24
  Speaker 1: long time. You know, he was Rush Limbaugh's main filling
