  Speaker 2: YouTube audience live. We welcome the podcast audience. We're glad
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you're joining us for the almost the second full week
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of eminem Extra. And in case you thought Mark or
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I are getting tired of it, think again. We're like
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a couple of teenagers going out on a on a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: hay ride on a Friday night, having a blast. We're
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: having so much fun doing this, this this little thing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we call eminem Extra. The audience continues to grow because
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Lord knows, they watch the numbers on this thing. Mark
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and we're you know, we're getting thousands of downloads per episode. Now,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how we're doing on our YouTube channel.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: We got to get better there too. But you got
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to subscribe. And Joey told me a little trick about YouTube.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And if you're with us right now, and if you're
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: or if you're on the podcast, you want to watch
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: this as well as listen, you've got to remember to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: click notify me when you subscribe, because if you don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: click get notifications, you won't know when a new episode drops.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So don't forget to do that, click, subscribe, notify, rinse,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: repeat whatnot.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Repeat, So some assembly requires.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Do not try this at home. We are so will
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: be repeated the professionals as seen on TV and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: reason I start with mehow and the Chinese greeting. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: don't know that we're spending enough time. Maybe you are,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: but I you know, we're talking about redistricting. I've been
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina all week and this is a mess.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: The here's axios Democrats get a last minute reprieve on
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six redistricting. Uh, you got a bunch
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of Deep South Republicans who don't seem to have the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: wherewithal or the stomach to fight and win on this
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: redial things. So we'll see how this all plays out
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. But President Trump's visit to China is
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: so massive, and it's because he didn't bring bureaucrats with him. Mark,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he brought CEOs, private sector guys. You want to cut
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: deals with the American industry, I brought them. Yeah, I mean,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: isn't that? And I was just reading an analysis on
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: X about all the states that could be hugely impacted
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: with deals with China. Texas is one of them, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: mean Tesla and SpaceX. What is that community in Texas? Mark,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you're mister space fanatic. Is there now an entire Isn't there?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Like an entire city that's kind of been taken over
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: by Elon and the space.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Is out in the hinterlands and down toward the Gulf coast.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Elon has set up through SpaceX and through and even
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and Jeff Bezos has some of his footprint in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: state as well. I mean, Florida was sort of ground
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: zero for launching everything to the moon because that was NASA.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: It was Cape Canaveral, then Cape Kennedy, It's end now
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Cape Canaveral again. But but Texas is the launch point
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: for all kinds of things, and it's it's it's the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: confluence of private sector and government partnership. But what we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: going to be doing and what we already are doing
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: in space is crazy, and a whole lot of it
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: is a Texas story, Yes, sir, Well.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: How and how excited are you, mister space fanatic?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I mean for you and Lisia to fire up the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: roadster and go watch a launcher two or ten. I mean,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: how cool is that? Now? It's big state? It takes
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you a long time probably to get there from Dallas
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Fort Worth. But but it's but it's so many states
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: are impacted, the Midwest farming. Uh if China re you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: re establishes trade and buying buying from from farmers in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: camp and in the middle of the country. Uh, South
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Carolina is impacted with by boeing. And that's what's so extraordinary.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't think critic of Trump know quite what
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to make of his China visit because on the one
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: hand that they don't want to see him succeed in anything,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: But on the other I think there's a part of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: them that has to acknowledge that this could be pretty
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: pretty huge for the United States if indeed he can
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: work out some deals with President g and this superpower
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: called China.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Fair minded people will say that, And so let's set
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: aside the people who are so driven by tds. Listen,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: we have people rooting against America in a war, so
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: he knows they'll have no trouble rooting against him with
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: a trade deal. But for anybody who truly has America's
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: best interests at heart, they want this to go.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Well, do you ever?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And we all should And then I guess the definition
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: of it going well is that it's something that benefits
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: American business, benefits America's economy, is not deleterious to America's
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: national security interests because hey, it is China, and obviously
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: from the Chinese end, they are interested in their economic
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: health as well, which is why it's always kind of
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: entertained me when people have said, you know, Marc, China
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: is going to buy up all of America and bring
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: us to our knees.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: No, they're not.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: China desperately needs an economically healthy America for their own
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: economic health. I give you the following question, though, is
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: there something that tugs at you a little bit? Because
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I want this to succeed. I think it's better to
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: engage with China than to make them a global pariah. Right,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: But this always said, they're looking at President she on
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: a nice smile. President She is one of the most
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: evil leaders in world history. This is one of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: most evil communist regimes in world history. I'm not saying
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: don't deal with them, but I'm just saying, there's you
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: got really got to compartmentalize, don't you, Or am I overanalyzing?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: No, you're not over analyzing, but because that's been one
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of the biggest criticisms that the Trump haters have for him,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that he finds a way to cozy up to evil, maniacal, horrible,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: brutal dictators. Look at his sort of uh, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: love taps with uh North Korea, Kim Jong un, I mean,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: look at and they'll say that about Vladimir Putin. I am.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I am convinced that the Trump doctrine over things like
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the over matters like these is real simple. He'd rather
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: not be fighting with them than fighting with them. He'd
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: rather get along with even even bad people like ge
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like Kim Jong un, than than a threat of possible
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: nuclear annihilation and going to war with them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And I'll take it, and I'll yeah, he's he's kind
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: of it's a psychological game. I don't want to say
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: he's playing them, but he is engaging with them in
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: a way.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He sees the world as a deal to be made.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: We have been that, we've been the beneficiary of that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Rather than kind of an old school black and white binary.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: We are good, you are evil. Even though I'm glad
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to look at the world that way. There is evil
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: around the world, but from an American presidential stance to say, listen,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: you know, no matter what you bring to the table,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to find a way to achieve some
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: common ground with you, achieve some kind of relationship with you,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: because when I do, my country is safer.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm old enough to remember that when
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: businessmen started to run for office or women, we would say, gosh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that's a great idea because you could take your business acumen.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: You could take you know, you've you've actually had to
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: meet a payroll. You understand what main Street USA goes through.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You understand the pitfalls of of of democrats socialism, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you understand the virtues of capitalism. Well, Trump is the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: ultimate deal maker. He is all of that on steroids.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: He's a guy who has been doing this his whole life.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He's negotiated with you, the unions, He's had to deal
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with the construction industry. He's a builder, he's a he's
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a job jobs creator, and he has been his whole life. Well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: now we've got him in the Oval office, and this
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is he's going to put all of that, all of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that to use in this difficult and complicated negotiation with
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: President She but you know the other thing. I was
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: going to ask you about some skepticism about President Trump's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: China visit, and I'm dying to talk to you about
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this New York Magazine article. We touched on it a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: little bit on the M and M experience on your
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: radio show this morning, New York Magazine talking about the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: supposed collapse of the Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I want to I'm going to I want to get
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: into all of that in just a moment, but let's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: talk about America firsters. You know, do you think there's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: some skepticism or cynicism on the part of people who
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: are all about America first, America First, America First, maga
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: make America great again. We got to put America ahead
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: of everything else. Do you think some of those folks
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: are looking at the Trump China summit a little dubiously
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: because of that?
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Undoubtedly, because there are some folks who in America First
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: is a good way to be. But some people have
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: we learned, as we've learned, have become isolationists and made
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: it kind of America only. And some people, also from
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: a business and trade perspective, see America first that they
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: hold at arm's length anything that involves this kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: close outreach, especially with a trade adversary and rival like China,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: because they, I guess they're so used to being rolled.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: You know, We've had some deals in the past where
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: America has just been flat out rolled. We've been burnt,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: we've been used, and we're not going to be under
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: this guy. And so I think people can safely proceed
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: into some partnerships with China and expect them to go
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: better than they have under past presidents. But to answer
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: your question briefly, if that's even possibil anymore, Yes, they
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: clearly do, because there's some I hope it's not too
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: many people, because I think that it's being shortsighted to
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: feel this way. America First does not mean America only,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: and America First does does not preclude some kind of
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: embiotic relationship with China.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't say that enough. And you always bring
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: me back to earth, and I always love it when
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you say that America First does not mean America only.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But there's this there is an isolationism that we have
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to contend with. There is a cynicism that especially young
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: conservatives are starting to demonstrate. Towards the Trump administration, sort
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of a fatigue if you will, and I want to,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I want to. That brings us to this New York
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Magazine article. Now, first of all, full stop, full disclosure,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: let's just stipulate New York Magazine is a far left publication.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: There's not a conservative they would ever agree with. There's
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: not a Republican they would support. So we got we gotta.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's baked into the cake. But some of the things
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: that were raised in this article got me to thinking
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: about sort of bouncing this off of you. The headline
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: of the article by Ross Barkin, which posted I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning, why Ben Shapiro's media empire is collapsing,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And the article basically says, there was a time not
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: very long ago when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the king of all conservative media. Daily Wire was on
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: top of everything, all the big numbers. Well no longer.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Now they're saying that the Daily Wire is instituting significant layoffs.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: It's YouTube channel subscribers starting to shrink. The website has
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And on the flip side of that, the anti Israel,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: anti Semitic groupers in the way that New York Magazine
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: describes it, led by Nick Fuentes. There he's in ascendance.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Candice Owens, who once worked with Ben at The Daily Wire.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: She now has a YouTube channel that's larger than his.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson Megan Kelly have found massive audiences with their
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: own brand of conspiratorial commentary that Mary's Israel skepticism and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: isolate relationist advocacy. Carlson and Kelly have both loudly opposed
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the war in Iran. Trump now reviles them, but neither
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: ex Fox News Channel talking head has backed down. In fact,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Carlson seems to be moving on from Trump completely, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: there are others. Mark Alex Jones comes to mind. What
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: do you make of this kind of narrative that Israel
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and the war in Iran and Trump's alleged pivot away
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: from an America First agenda is costing us dearly, costing
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Republicans dearly. Young conservatives in particular feel betrayed by Trump's
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: alleged pivot. Do you think there's merit to any of that?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Do you think there's some truth to the fact that
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: like it or not, our brand meaning Republicanism or conservativism
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: is being damaged by some of these moves that Trump
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is making on the world stage.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: To some degree.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I don't want to overstate it or understate it. Clearly
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: the phenomena that you've described, and in New York Magazine
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: it's nothing but wishful thinking. They want Ben Shapiro's empire
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to fold. They hate Daily Wire. The reason they have
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: a newfound affection for your Candice Owans, Megan Kelly's, and
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson's because they are making life difficult for Trump.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: My prayer is that this is a passionate, yet limited
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: pocket of people. Understand that five percent of every Republican
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: will still fill a number of podcasts with millions of followers.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And I hope that a victory in Iran and a
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: repaired economy and some success coming out of the China
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Summit are the kinds of things that will bring people around,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: so that for every you know, the gen z malcontent,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: there are three or four people who take a look
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: at the Trump approach and realize, you know what, America
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: First has a broad meaning. It means focusing on our
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: shores and things that are within our soores, but it
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: also It involves taking away the threat of a terrorist
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Iran and turning China into a partner that we can
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: benefit from. That's America first. Two big go I love that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I want to I want to quote one more line
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: from this article that and get your get your take
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: on this. Gen Z conservatives have no great affection for
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Israel in the in the groiper tent. This can be
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: chalked up to you know, Jew hatred. Right, we get that,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: But the story the article says is far more complicated
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: among the millions of young right leading voters who simply
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: don't understand how Trump could campaign on America first while
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: standing up a foreign policy that is clearly subservient to
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the whims of the Nettan Yahoo government.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Stop it, I know you stop it because I know's
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: just not that that that's not true. That's an anti
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Semitic trope to say that were under the magical lure
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: of the evil Jews. Who has this this way? But
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: it's undeniably true, And I'm glad you've offered up that
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: paragraph that. I don't know what the magic age would be.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I think if you're younger than forty five, just to
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: pick a number. The whole Israel thing just doesn't turn
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: your crank as much? Is it generational? Is it because
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: you and I are old enough to remember the Six
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Day War, that we're old enough to remember the terrorism
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: in Munich, or old enough.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: To old enough to remember nine to eleven?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you then, right, oh, that exactly right. I think
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: also some of it might be faith based, not that
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: all these gen Z Israel skeptical people are not people
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: of faith, but part of my devotion to and my
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: belief in our shared history with Israel is based on
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: my Christianity. And if you don't have that hummin on
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: all cylinders, maybe that makes it easier for you to
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: be ambivalent as well.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: And I go back the reason I brought up nine
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to eleven is because and I had a caller actually
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: who made this point this morning to my show. Even
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: though that's probably a little bit of a stretch to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: go back to the things you were giving examples of
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: as it applies to Israel, I believe it breaks down
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to total ignorance, a lack of understanding of the good
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: versus evil dynamic. A lot of people under thirty five
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: have absolutely no idea what real raw evil feels like.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: We do because we live through nine to eleven. As
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean I was in the Empire State Building.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I mean I lived it. I could smell the rubble
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: from in midtown Manhattan and in my town where I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: used to live in Manhasset, New York. There were sixty
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: three people who were killed that morning. It was devastating
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: for our community of Manhassean. In fact, I used to
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: tell the story about how so many of us would
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: commute into the city on the Long Island Railroad and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: in an on Long Island. I mean there's train stations
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: all over Long Island and parking lots, uh obviously with
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the train stations, and you'd drive in the morning seven
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: eight in the morning, you park your car, you'd have
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: your ticket, you know for the parking. You'd park your car,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you get on the train, go into work. On September eleventh,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: two thirds of the cars were unclaimed that night because
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: they were people who were never coming home. That's how
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: bad it was. But you know, we we saw what
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: what evil that that visited our shores and came into
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: our cities, what that looked like. But I don't think
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: young people have that acknowledgment or that cogniti that that
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: that ability to see what that raw now they now
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: they surely saw it on October seventh in Israel.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: But I think they saw it. But did it process?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: You are no very special group of people special help me?
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Remember this. You you got a special invite to see unedited,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: unfiltered raw and I do mean raw footage of the
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: horrors of October seventh. And I'll never forget you telling
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: me about it. So I and it's maybe we need
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: to sit everybody down for a big viewing session of
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: that when you're twenty eight years old.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I yeah, I mean well, and I was all and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I got to go to Israel really a couple of
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: months after the October seventh and I interviewed survivors and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I heard the stories of what they and we're only
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: now getting to learn the real depth of the depravity
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: mark of the rapes and the torture, the brutal, brutal
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: murders of men, women and children at the hands of
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: these awful evil doers. But you're so right, and your instincts,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: as usual, are spot on. It hasn't been processed by
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: young people. They don't get it, they don't accept it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They think that Israel's response dwarfs whatever those terrorists did
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: on October.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Seven, and it's genocide, which leads you to the I know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: it makes me crazy. There's an obstacle to their understanding.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: There's an obstacle to their clarity. And this can apply
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: to anybody of any age group. And that is just
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: some of the woke nonsense of seeing everything through the
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: lens of oppressors and the oppressed. The Israelis are generally white,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: so they must be the oppressors. They sort of look white.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: They must be the bad guys. The Palestinians, everybody in Gaza,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: they are sort of of color, so clearly they must
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: be the good guys. They must be the victims. And boy,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: when you have that kind of moral idiocy banging around
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: in your head, clarity is going to be hard to find.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. By the way, I'm loving all the comments on
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: do you ever do you look at our YouTube page
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: where we're doing this time.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I'm old and blind, so.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: What I need to do, Well, let me read is
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: okay expanded to let me let me read something.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, I did see one from yesterday. Somebody what did
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: somebody say? Somebody thanked us? I think they got me
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: on the text line and thanked us for the ability
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: to consume the eminem Extra a live YouTube where he
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: is in the Philippines.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: So really that's pretty neat. Yeah, look, here's some comments.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: We're loving the eminem extra. Paul writes, here's uh uh
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: man a man sharpsman. Let's hope they bring out the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: good China during President Trump's visit. But I get no
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: good China. You missed that. Bring out the good China.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Get it the good China. And and and Mad Mike,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: reacting to your question about you know how how we're
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: feeling about Trump and and and g playing footsie, Mad
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Mike says, keep your friends closer, enemies closer. That's something
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: president Trump's visit, and and and then and then finally,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and incidentally, the younger generation has zero respect for others.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a respect.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe a little broad but but but I don't know.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: There's this possibly possibly anyway.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Real quick, and I guess before I Forget's funny because
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: as we're going through all this, things sometimes lead to
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: other things lead to other things. Sometimes you'll be on
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: something and we'll take a turn, and I'll scribble something
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: to circle to circle back to like Jensaki, but a
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: minute on this, because you were talking about Trump as
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: business the businessman president, right, a moment on that, because
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: there is certainly value to it. His business accive and
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: his business experience informs his presidency in ways that I
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: believe have been beneficial. We've had some folks try to
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: be businessman president before Ross Parrot, who got nineteen percent
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: unheard of in nineteen ninety two. If you thank you,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: he can pretty much James Clinton, thanks Chris, Thanks for
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Steve Forbes, who I always loved. So there wasn't really
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: so much of the appetite for the businessman president. And
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of people said, do you ever remember people saying,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: you know in the nineties, Because both of those, the
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Steve Forbes and Ross Perot stories were stories of the nineties.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: People said, yep, you should have a certain business sense
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: to run the country. But the country's not a business.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: You can't run it as one. You can't just write
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: a memo and change everything.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: You have to.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Totally understand that there are vast differences between running a
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: business and running the country. The government should quote unquote
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: run like a business by not spending money it doesn't
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: have blah blah blah. But the government will never be
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: a business and the rules will never be a perfect fit.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: All of that is true. However, I guess the last
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: thing I want to tie a bowrun this for and
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: offer it up to you if you want to go
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: any run it is is Trump two point oh is
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: the businessman who now completely understands Washington. Trump one point oh.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I think he suffered from that a little bit. I
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: think he had to learn Washington. Anybody does, but he
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: sure has now. And I notice a palpable difference.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I believe that in the Trump and Trump one in
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Trump one point oh, he was surrounded by snakes. He
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: was surrounded by opportunists, and he didn't know. I mean,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: this guy comes out of New York City. He's a uh,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you know, a real estate mogul or a builder, whatever
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you want to call him. He was a reality TV star.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: This guy did. He's a he and his wife socialites
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: or whatever in New York. This guy didn't wasn't a politician.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: He's still not a politician. You know, if he was
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a politician, he would be very careful about the way
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: he words things. Today, Axios had a big had a
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: big article about his killer expression, about how he seemed
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to completely minimize the financial concerns that people are having
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: because he said, I don't care about America's financing when
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: it comes to what we're doing with Iran. It's not
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: what he was saying. I mean, you know what he meant,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: but he didn't say, here's the here's the axios. Trump's
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: killer quote exposes his bind on Iran and inflation. His
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: remark this week was quote, I don't think about American's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: financial situation as he weighs his next moves in Iran.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Now he clearly obviously he meant that domestic economic concerns
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: won't deter him from whatever steps he thinks are necessary
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. So yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: but the Democrats aren't gonna They're not gonna appreciate that nuanced.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Schumer had that quote on a massive billboard behind his head.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: President Trump, I don't think about americans finances When you
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: and I and my dog know that. What he meant is, look,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: we got a war to win. I'm not gonna let
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: myself get bogged down in some momentary. Admittedly tough times
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: for people financially. But I'm not gonna let that divert
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: me from the global goal of preventing run from having
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: news exactly.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: And my point is that a politician wouldn't make that stumble.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: A smooth, slick politician doesn't make that kind of mistake.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: You know. Here's what keeps me up at night about Iran.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And I know this is true even if Trump said, look,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: war's over, we're done, we're pulling out whatever, or he's
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: not going to do that. But I mean, you know
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: what I mean, if we could somehow have a declaration
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: of an end of the war in Iran, Iran could
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: still make hell out of the strait of horn Moves.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: They could still throttle shipping through the strait of Horm Moves.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: And until the strait of Horm Moves is fully open,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: we're going to continue to be hit by this tough
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: economic reality. Yesterday I drove by a gas station here
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: in the upstate of South Carolina, unleaded four dollars and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: seventy seven cents a gallon.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I mean at California, calling saying hold my beer.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I know this in California. This is South Carolina, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: it's hitting people hard. Can I ask you pick your
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: brain a little bit about this blind spot that President
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Trump seems to have over acknowledging the economic hardship that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: people are facing.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Do you think I don't think it's a blind spot.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? I mean?
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I think do you think it seems to downplay it?
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Seems to be dismissive about it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I think he has an inability to say, I mean, yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I know that gas prices are high, but don't worry
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: they're coming down. Yeah, I know grocery prices are high.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: But here's our plan. But instead he says, oh, there's
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: no affordability prices.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: It's it'll just be a minute. It's not a problem.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: It's the media.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: You almost crave pardon pardon me here. You almost crave
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a feel your pain. You almost
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: crave a molecule of that, some some empathy.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid what we're getting is reading my lips. No
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: new text, you know.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, presidents come back and have that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: But there's a stubbornness he has. And you know, I say,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: this is a supporter, and frankly I love the guy,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: but but he's he's I think he sticks perhaps and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to analyze in a way I probably
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: have no business doing. But I think he sticks to
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a narrative. He's got a message. There's a there's nobody
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: that message is better than this guy. This guy knows
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: how to message, and I think his message is the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: affordability crisis is large is largely a figment of the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: imagination of Democrats and Trump haters who want to just
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: stick it to him, And so he's going to stick
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: to that. I mean, look, let me, let me give
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: you some real raw numbers here. Stephen Moore posted this.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Inflation is now three point eight percent, and it's rising
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: on Iran driven energy costs. But it's still nowhere near
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the Biden era highs nowhere near. And but we never
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I mean Biden, you know what, you take a guess.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I hate to put you on the spot. I don't
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: want to give you a gotcha. Do you want to
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: You remember how high it got with it with Biden?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Well, we were in the high single idiots, right.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Eight point three percent, So we're nowhere near. I mean,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: we're three point eight percent. Hey, you want to go
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: back to eight point three percent? Vote for Democrats.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Everything's relative exactly right, it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Really is, and that's what we're going to go to
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: and then it just makes me crazy. And that's why
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I'm so frustrated in many ways, and I'm a little
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: down here in South Carolina because of these dogone Republicans
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: who are not willing to say, let's get this redistricting
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: done now.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Wasn't there something has anything changed in the last couple
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: of hours in real time where we start, we're talking
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: in midday on Thursday. Wasn't there something that Governor McMaster
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: was going to do at five oh.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: One five oh one, because the session ends officially at
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: five pm, so at five oh one he wants to
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: call them back in. He hasn't officially confirmed that he's
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: going to do it yet, but that's the reporting here
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina that that's what he's and well, well
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: by tomorrow will know. But at five oh one PM,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: he's supposedly going to call them back in. And under
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the special session terms, you don't need a two thirds
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: majority to accomplish redistricting. You just need a simple majority.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: And under a simple majority it'll get done. Because right
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: now there are only five Republicans in the state Senate
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: who are blocking the redistricting and they're voting against it well,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: including the Senate Majority Leader who said this week, I'll
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: take this quote with me to my grave. A vibrant
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party is good for South Carolina. Vibrant. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: that's one way to play.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: So it is. And I've heard you mentioned that twice.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: And when a lot of times when certain people say that,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: it means that they have given up on their core
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: conservative principles and they're willing to actually hand Democrats some
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: victories so that they can be more vibrant. But there's
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: been a little little voice on my shoulder going that
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: in a way, don't we nationally, don't we as Republicans,
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: as conservatives crave We say it all the time, a
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: return to a Democrat Party where the worst thing we
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: ever say about them is we think you guys are wrong,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: we think our ideas are better than your ideas. Rather,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: because we've been steeped for a long time in the
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party that is just at absolutely out of its mind,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: that is steeped in lunacy. If there were a return
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: to the Democrat Party of JFK, the Democrat Party of
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Joe Lieberman, the Democrat Party that is represented by some
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: folks like John Fetterman and harrold Ford Jr. It kind
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: of seems like the country would be better. But the
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: downside of that is I think that the crazy Democrats
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: are a little easier to beat.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I fight this in my brain so hard and so
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: funny you bring this up. I was married to a Democrat.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: My Denise was the love of my life, she and I.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I shudder to think had she not passed away, what
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: we would be going through right now during the Trump era.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I think my bags and all my suitcases and frozing
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to the front lawn.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: In a flamy heap in the front yard.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: It'd be one of those scenes where the wife is
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: throwing the clothes out the upstairs window. I don't know.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I mean we had an ability to agree to disagree
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: on a lot of political issues, and she was not.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Let me, for the record, please respect my late wife
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: by by setting the record straight. She was not a
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: far left radical, AOC type of Democrat. She was really
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: kind of a the old fashioned blue dog democrat. Denise
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: just had a huge heart, and she perceived Democrats as
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: being the you know, the touchy feely we we we
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: help the poor and the down trod come and yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you Republicans, you're just about wealth and riches and all that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: But that's that's where it was for her. So so
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I don't believe for one minute that that she would
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: be Uh but boy, I don't. I don't even like
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: to think about it right now. But anyway, understand, not
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: only was I married to a Democrat, I got a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: lot of friends in my life who are Democrats who
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: don't see the world the way I do. So I
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: do long for a time where we could sort of
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: a disagree civilly, where we could have conversations and still
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: go out and get a cheeseburger. We could still and
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: but but Mark, the trouble is as crazy as they've gotten.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know that there's any possibility of going back
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: to those times.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Because they won't do it, because it's up to them,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: and they won't do it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: They won't get they won't.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Despised in Pennsylvania Democrats exactly.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: And Fetterman is the guy who has said, look, I
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: don't recognize a lot of the aspects of my Democrat party. Now,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: don't make don't get too you know, warm and fuzzy
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: about John Fetterman he's still a Democrat and he's still
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: got core book core beliefs that we we would find,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: you know, unacceptable as Republicans. But look, I just I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think there's no returning to those those
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: sort of common ground days. But I wish that we could.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I really do. But but you just summed it up.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You nailed it. The only way we can get back
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: to that is if they get normal, if they start to.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Stop to them, it's up to them in any primary stage.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Stop celebrating, stop celebrating political violence, stop advocations to start.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: There's a good start, you know.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Now do we have do we do?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: We have time for Rand Paul's drunk Son?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: We do know? You know what, Let's do Rand Paul's
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Drunk Son tomorrow. Can we do that tomorrow? Because I
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: want to do that tomorrow, and we'll dive into that
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: because I want to end on a very upbeat note.

• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: And I have to tell you that having been robbed,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: snatched blind of one thing that I kind of want
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: to do three four minutes on and accepting your premise
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: that we'll just do that tomorrow. Yes, I am, however,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: going to shoehorn something. Yet they will take thirty seconds.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Because you hated this yesterday. I've whittled it down to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: one bell, got it. Every once in a while, I'm
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: doing a birthday. I'm doing it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: There we go play. Are you gonna play the run
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: out of the run ats? Now? Are we gonna hear?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: It's musical? Birthdays is radio. I'm doing culture, political whatever.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: And I understand you didn't want to, you know, do
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: John Kasik Jim Jones was interesting yesterday.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Come on, you know it, you know it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: But birthdays are not interesting to me. I don't think
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: birthdays are interesting.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: It's an opera way. It's okay.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: First of all, I don't particularly care at all how
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: old anybody is or the fact that it's their birthday.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: It's an opportunity to take stock of something and remember
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: something and go wow, to sort of take a little
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: trip back in history.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Today's you're ready. You know who? You know who's eighty two? Today?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Tell George Lucas.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: So there's all your Star Wars movies, there's American graffiti,
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. So George Lucas eighty two. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: there you go.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: And I know why I don't like it, because all
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: these people that can remind you of your own mortalent,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: because in my mind, George Lucas is thirty nine. You know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing pictures of him with the bushy beard and
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: the hair and he's directing from the side and he's
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: forty four years old. And then you say he's eighty two,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: and I want to go drive my car off a cliffy.
