• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Plenty of times. See bad bunny bag on ice. See
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that's stupid Billie Eilish bagging on ice. I almost missed
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: him because two thirds of him is gone.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but how about his speech? How about that speech?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So two things about you, le Let's go in ascending
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: order of importance. First, you'll be alive a lot longer
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: because he used to weigh about five hundred and al
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: he weighs about two twenty. And there was more Jesus
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in that speech than maybe in any Grammy. It was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just Jesus is there for everybody. He doesn't belong to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: any particular party, doesn't belong to any particular musical genre.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I think Jesus and my wife for everything. It was. Oh,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I'm totally playing it, and it was just spectacular. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: love that man. It was the only thing worth even considering.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I had no intention. I didn't want to watch that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I knew that all night long, they'd be bagging on ice.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They'd be, you know, lifting up Don Lemon. He's their
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: latest hero. You know what, Don Lemon's do it tonight.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You know he's doing.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Tonight, He's doing Jimmy Kimmel. He's on Jimmy Kimmel. They
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: could just cry and kiss and whatever they want to do.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Don Lemonon on Jimmy Kimmel and another breaking news. Water
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: is wet. I mean, that's that, and they will they
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they'll both weep, because Jimmy Kimmel likes
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to cry. But I wonder if they'll both start crying.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe the two of them can just melt down together
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and just start sobbing. And that's that is entertainment. Baby,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: That's it, man, that's late night commenty. Well, anyway, let's talk.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I'm really intrigued by a couple of things. First of all,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I loved your analysis of this, of this Texas UH
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: special election. Like you said, God willing November, we'll they'll
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: get it right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It should be fine. And here you are on the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: with the national stage. Let's talk about this so that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you and yours not you need to do. You know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: two three hours on Texas SD nine, they asked Trump
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about it and he's like, what I wasn't on the ballot,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: which is, by the way, a very good point.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I want to ask what people in North Texas were saying.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Exactly right, And I want to help you help America
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: come off the This is not good. I'm not going
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to sugarcoat this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Well, and let me tell you why. And let's put
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it in a national perspective, because Texas isn't the only one.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: The fact is, Democrats have flipped eight state legislative seats
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in special elections during the twenty twenty five twenty twenty
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: six cycle. It's not just Texas. Let me give you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the list of the other states. You ready, Mississippi two
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: different races, two in Iowa, Georgia, another one in Mississippi
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: House District twenty two. Democrats have now flipped eight state
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: legislative seats. Now, before you get all excited and think
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that it's the end is near, the truth of the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: matter is you're right. Nobody particularly cares. It's not the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: end of the world. I saw this great post by
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Reverend Jordan Wells, whoever that is on x I'm so
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: over Democrats popping champagne corks every time they snag one
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: state legislative seat, and they act the entire GOP is collapsing.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Blue wave incoming. Trump is doomed. The Texas race, it
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: was a state senate race. It stings, But let's keep
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it in perspective. Specials are always low turnout circus shows
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: where the out of party power or out of power
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: party rather always goes all in. Democrats are hyper motivated
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: right now because they lost everything in twenty twenty four.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They're treating every off year race like armageddon, and we're not.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, we don't look at a sort of a small,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: insignificant state Senate race as armageddon. Republicans are kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: tired of NonStop elections, but don't worry. Mid Terms, he writes,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: will be completely different, much higher turnout, real stakes. The
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: fuller of the full electorate does show up, not just
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the engaged, enraged activists. That's when the sleeping giant wakes up.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: History proves it. The party in power often gets tested early,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: then crushes when it matters. So he says, yes, stay vigilant,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: get involved where it counts, but stop letting the left's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: fake victory lapse rattle you. They're screaming to convince themselves
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: they're relevant. We know better. We won big in twenty
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: twenty four for a reason. The real fight is coming
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, and we'll be ready. I like that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I like that energy. That's really smart and I had
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: somebody on the text line suggests that there may be
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a silver lining in this. I'd rather have the hiccup
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: now than in November. I'd rather be caught napping now
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: right than have it come up and bite us in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: actual November with a with a full term.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And let's look at the national and let's look at
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the national stage for a moment. It was just revealed
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: last night that the RNC, the Republican National Committee, is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: crushing the Democrats for cash ahead of the midterm elections. Now,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of people will say, in politics, you follow
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the money. The Republicans having nearly one hundred million dollar
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: advantage at the close of twenty twenty five, according to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: year end filings for the As the Democrats have struggled
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: in the Trump era, the RNC tallied one hundred and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: seventy two million raised in last year alone twenty twenty five.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: The Democrats, in contrast, they've they've only got fourteen million
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: dollars on hand, they're seventeen million in debt. They're starting
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the new year underwater. Now, again it's anecdotal, but it's important.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Money matters in politics. Unfortunately, and nationally we're doing really,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: really Well, but you know, I just keep I've been
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: thinking a lot about what they're doing with ICE and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: how the messaging. You could argue that we're losing the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: messaging war. I don't know if we are. I don't
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: know if we aren't. But what I do know is
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Democrats are now openly calling to dismantle DHS. It's not spin.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Promila Jiapaul didn't hedge, she didn't walk it back. She
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: said it completely. She said DHS was a creation. We
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: can take enforcement, we ramp it down, dismantle ICE, dismantle
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: order patrol, border patrol, and dismantled DHS. Now, let that
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: sink in. Mark.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes they say the truthful part out loud.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Look, they're united on this. They want to dismantle border enforcement.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: And their justification, incidentally, is that the current immigration enforcement
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is cruel, that we don't really need enforcement, DHS doesn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: need to exist. Well, Mark, let's realize something that's always
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: been the end goal for them, always been by design.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: They want open borders by policy, they want more illegal
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: immigration by design, and they want to remove every single
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: agency that is tasked with enforcing federal immigration law.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So don't they had open borders under Biden. They had
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: open borders under Biden, they would have had open borders
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: under Kamala. So they're going to try to get They're
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: going to try to do whatever they can to fight
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for open borders. Under Trump, They're going to lose. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: so the question I have for you on this is
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: will it backfire? Because again, the word of the year optics.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It has not been a good couple of weeks, let's admit,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: but I feel that Minneapolis is calmer. We haven't had
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: any more riots or shootings or blah blah blah. Homan
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is there. They are still getting some cooperation from the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: locals on getting the worst ombres out of jail. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like that is calming somewhat, and the bleeding
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: has stopped, literally and the damage control has sort of worked,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And I think ultimately we're now in a period where
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for the rest of this month and moving through the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: early part of the year, I begin to ask the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: question of will it backfire? And ultimately will it backfire
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in November? As the Democrats are a pro illegal immigration,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: pro sex change surgeries for kids, pro crime, and I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: can't see how this works with Independence or or anybody
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: outside the Democrat base in November.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we know that in November we better show up.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: If we show up, we win if we stay home.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And the lesson is also that traditionally, if Trump's not
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: on the ballot, Republicans don't show up. Because it's now
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the party of Trump. And this is a problem. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: don't know how to motivate people. How do you convince
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: somebody not to stay home? I mean, because that's turnout
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is going to be everything in the midterms. But but
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: normal people are reacting in normal How about Nicki Minaj.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: This lady is I mean, first of all, obviously very
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: crude and we can't repeat a lot of her lyrics
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: for some of her music. But she just posted something
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: on x Any Christian who votes Democrat again is a fool.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: They're showing people that it's okay to disrupt church during worship.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: This is how they truly feel about you. The veil
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: is lifted, she wrote, no morals, no integrity. It's not
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: enough for them to have an opinion. They've now escalated
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of them are so bothered all the time.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: She stood with Trump a couple of days ago. The
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: last part of last week, last part of last week,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: saying I am here with him, I'm going to support him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I am unflappable in that support. You know, no matter
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: how they come after him, will come after me. It's like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: really right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And they mocked her, and they and they mocked her
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: unmercilessly last night they Trevor Noah got up there. By
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the way, President Trump noticed Trevor Noah, he's suing him now.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Or something about either. The joke. The joke was, I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: now understand why Trump wants Greenland because he needs another
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: island now that Epstein Island is no longer available to him.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And then he laughed and said, what are you gonna do?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Because the Grammys come off a CBS to another network whatever,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: which I guess means another host, thank goodness, not that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it'll be any better, But he said, what are you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do? And the answer came from Trump, he may
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: sue him.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna ssue you. I'm gonna I'm gonna stick
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: my Look, here's the double edged short of the Epstein files.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Everybody's in the stupid thing. Everybody. So this is what
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Trump was worried about, including incidently, children, coming forward who
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: called a tip line and said Trump raped me thirty
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: years ago. I mean, that's the problem. You've got people,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: all people from all political walks of life. You got
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Elons in there, you got Clinton is in there a lot,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and I think I think Trump's concern was just releasing
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: files doesn't necessarily mean you got guilty people being held
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to account.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Because shocker, you know, bulletins stopped the presses. The Epstein
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you know, the Epstein files are filled with people lying
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: through their teeth. That's why people they don't like or whatever.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: What was the thing that came up Friday? I mean,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, God rest him that Robin Leitch of Lifestyles
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of the Rich and Famous strangled somebody strangled somebody to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: death at an Epstein sex party.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, what I mean, how did that work? Where's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the body? I mean, what in the world? I mean,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: all kinds of crazy stuff is in there. I get
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: that people don't want powerful people to get away with stuff.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but so look, they they've released a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: whole millions and millions of more files. You know, we're
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll see, We'll see how it all plays out.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Final note, I got to share with you. I know
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Waymo's are coming to Dallas, right, the white cars, the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: self driving robotaxis. And Elon's all about it too. Elon's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: going to have a robotaxi that many say is even
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: better than the Weimo experience. And you know me, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: love this thing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I love terrified of it, but for you, I'm going
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to do it one time. So Friday again, So.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: A story broke Friday that there was an incident outside
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of Santa Monica Elementary School. Every driver's nightmare. A kid
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: dashes into the street from behind a parked car and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: there's a little time to react. They're they're investigating a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Waimo robo taxi last week that struck a child who
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: darted into the street from behind a double parked suv
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: near an elementary school. Now here's what's intriguing. Weimo says, Look,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: this proves our point. Weaimo said, And incidentally, just let
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: me not bury the lead here. The kid's fine. They
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: didn't even kid with The child wasn't even injured. The
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: child wasn't even injured.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: How does this prove their point?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It proves their point because they say the vehicle behaved
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: exactly as expected, slamming the brakes as soon as it
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: detected the child. It slowed from seventeen miles an hour
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to under six miles an hour before making contact. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they claim that a fully attentive human driver in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: same situation wouldn't have even had the wherewithal to react
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: as technically quickly as and as perfectly as the driverless
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: vehicle did.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: See glass half full, glass half empty here. Yeah, the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: weaimo car hit the kid, but dog gone it. If
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it had been a human driver, kid might be dead
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because the reaction time wouldn't have been as swift.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: This is Elon's point about these driverless vehicles. He says
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they're safer. They're safer than.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I think overall. They probably are because they are and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: not prone to human foible. That's why it's half a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: comedy bit for me, but only half.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's drinking. I mean it look looks I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time behind the wheel of a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: driverless vehicle, and I'm going to tell you right now,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I push the button, I'm now, I'm not Kenya. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: don't touch the steering wheel or the gas or brake.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: From my parking garage to my office car, wo my car,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I push one button. It's all full service driving. And Mark,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not kiddya. It is safer than me.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Very attention, friend of mine in our salesforce. Here at
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: six sixty am. The answer hopped in, got a brand new,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: big old SUV, hit a button, drove him from Texas
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to Mississippi, and like, there you go. I mean just
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: address to address me.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And there's something I will tell you. There is something
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: strangely liberating about it because you're not like your hands
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: on the wheel ten to the whole bit.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: But you can't read a book. No, no, you don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: put there. But there's something No, no, you watch, you're driving,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: but you're not driving. In other words, you're you're not distracted,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: but you're not in that mode where breaking gassing.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I'm hitting because he said it was less fatiguing for it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: If there's less fatigue, you you feel there's something. Really
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it's kind of bizarre, but it's real. So anyway, I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I'm all, but call me way mow man. Let's start.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Your your cutting edge and I am and I'm a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I'm a crusty old blood ice.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: We're both a couple of crusty old lud ice. Still
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: still trying to figure out how to do the new
• 14:36
