00:04:24.000 Does it make you feel good about yourself to push my buttons?

00:04:27.000 I'm relaxed.

00:04:28.000 I was just joking.

00:04:31.000 I already told you, Josephine, it's not funny.

00:05:48.000 Welcome to the show.

00:05:50.000 Good morning.

00:05:51.000 Thank you for being here with us.

00:05:52.000 This is obviously, it's still his sign.

00:05:54.000 He's going to be back in the chair tomorrow.

00:05:56.000 We forced Stephen to be out of the office today.

00:05:59.000 It's for his health, and we will talk more about things for your health here in just a minute.

00:06:04.000 A little bit of foreshadowing.

00:06:05.000 But first, here's a rundown.

00:06:07.000 We are talking about a new 40th birthday trend for women. 0.97

00:06:11.000 It's going to be as cringy as you think, but we are going to spend plenty of time talking about Iran, the new deal that we have with Iran from last night. 0.96

00:06:18.000 Hey, the world didn't end. 0.67

00:06:19.000 Fantastic.

00:06:20.000 And also the left's reaction to the ceasefire, which you would think would be super positive considering the fact that they were saying nukes were probably about to start flying. 0.93

00:06:30.000 And finally, some other stuff that's been going on while Iran has been consuming all of the oxygen in the room. 0.88

00:06:34.000 A trip to China that has kind of flown under the radar a little bit. 0.94

00:06:38.000 We have some experts in the room to tell you a little bit more about that.

00:06:42.000 And that brings me to Mr. Lane the Brain.

00:06:45.000 Thank you for sitting in my seat and keeping it warm.

00:06:46.000 How's it feel?

00:06:47.000 I don't think many would refer to me as an expert.

00:06:49.000 Maybe I think so. 0.97

00:06:50.000 Dumbass, but an expert, I'm not. 0.98

00:06:53.000 I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. 0.99

00:06:55.000 I talk about that all the time.

00:06:56.000 Most days, but that's just to keep you on your toes.

00:06:58.000 I don't want you getting a big head.

00:06:59.000 Nick never calls me.

00:07:00.000 Much like our next man in the jet here, Nick DiPaolo.

00:07:04.000 How are you, sir?

00:07:05.000 Oh, this is excellent.

00:07:06.000 I flew all this way so I could get Ed McMahon instead of Carson.

00:07:11.000 I'm very good.

00:07:12.000 Lane the Brain.

00:07:13.000 You're stuck with me.

00:07:14.000 I know.

00:07:14.000 You know I love you.

00:07:16.000 Lane the Brain looks like a German, either a German athlete, like a bobsled guy or a porn star. 0.98

00:07:22.000 A bobsled guy? 0.85

00:07:23.000 Yeah, look.

00:07:24.000 What about a handsome German guy? 1.00

00:07:26.000 Yeah, but you picked the dumbest sport. 1.00

00:07:29.000 How practical? 1.00

00:07:30.000 Bob sledding is dumb. 0.99

00:07:31.000 Let me tell you something. 1.00

00:07:32.000 How practical is it?

00:07:33.000 When's the last time you got in a bobsled to a video?

00:07:35.000 I feel like I'm arguing with my wife.

00:07:37.000 How practical?

00:07:38.000 What does that have to do with sports?

00:07:40.000 A pole vaulter.

00:07:40.000 I don't know.

00:07:41.000 A sprinter.

00:07:42.000 A wrestler.

00:07:43.000 There's all kinds of cool things you could say when you're like, bobsled.

00:07:46.000 Well, you know, Milan's still in my head.

00:07:50.000 The Olympics.

00:07:51.000 Winter Olympics was just, you know, a month ago.

00:07:53.000 And they were tremendous.

00:07:53.000 Oh, that's great.

00:07:54.000 I know you were busy at church or some silly thing, but I was busy caring about non gay things. 1.00

00:08:02.000 That's the loogs you're thinking of. 1.00

00:08:04.000 They're the ones that dress up in tights. 1.00

00:08:06.000 That's true. 0.99

00:08:06.000 Lay down, wait for somebody to sit on. 0.99

00:08:08.000 Oh, that's right.

00:08:08.000 Bob Sled is the one where there's two guys that sit on top of each other to go down.

00:08:12.000 That's no, they're like, sometimes there's four.

00:08:14.000 It's like that human caterpillar thing. 0.99

00:08:16.000 Climb up that butt. 1.00

00:08:17.000 Oh, my God. 1.00

00:08:18.000 What did that come up?

00:08:18.000 Okay, well, listen, I promise we will get to Iran and our thoughts about that.

00:08:23.000 But it's a comedy show.

00:08:24.000 You knew what you signed up for when you.

00:08:26.000 Can I say one more thing?

00:08:27.000 Well, I was going to say one more thing really quickly.

00:08:29.000 You're back on the road.

00:08:30.000 I was telling you right before the show, I'm very happy about that because it causes you pain, and I like it when that happens.

00:08:35.000 May 7th in Atlanta, Georgia at Punchline Comedy Club.

00:08:38.000 May 8th, Pottstown, PA, Soul Joel's Comedy Club.

00:08:41.000 And May 9th in Philadelphia, Rivers Casino, Philadelphia.

00:08:45.000 Make sure you go out and see this man because it could be his last series of performances.

00:08:50.000 Who knows?

00:08:51.000 Yeah, I'm like Barbara Streisand.

00:08:52.000 I'm doing my fourth farewell book.

00:08:56.000 I'm doing 11 people at a time.

00:08:57.000 You're doing it until you get it right.

00:08:59.000 I'm going to talk about it.

00:09:01.000 I've been doing it 38 years.

00:09:02.000 I don't think it's going to happen.

00:09:03.000 Where do they go to get tickets for these things?

00:09:05.000 Go to nickdip.com and do it now.

00:09:08.000 Yeah.

00:09:08.000 Right now.

00:09:09.000 Do it now.

00:09:09.000 Nickdip.com.

00:09:10.000 Those are good places.

00:09:11.000 Although I haven't been to this casino.

00:09:13.000 That ought to be fun.

00:09:13.000 How about this?

00:09:14.000 The Strait of Hormuz stays closed until you go to nickdip.com.

00:09:18.000 It's a point that's been added to it.

00:09:20.000 So, question of the day.

00:09:23.000 This will make sense in a minute.

00:09:24.000 I wouldn't normally ask this on a serious day where we're talking about Iran, but there's two questions.

00:09:27.000 First one is what is an unusual thing that you do to stay healthy?

00:09:30.000 Think about the most unusual thing that you do to preserve your health.

00:09:36.000 I told you.

00:09:37.000 What did I say?

00:09:38.000 That's loose. 1.00

00:09:39.000 Tell me that was not a homosexual man going, How can I make this a sport? 1.00

00:09:42.000 He does. 1.00

00:09:43.000 The one on the bottom does look in pleasure.

00:09:44.000 He does.

00:09:47.000 The guy on top's going, Is it in?

00:09:49.000 Also, how is that practical?

00:09:51.000 There's no practical need for that.

00:09:53.000 First of all, you said that about bobsledding, which is practical.

00:09:56.000 Sometimes you've got to get away from the wife.

00:09:58.000 I do lump it all together.

00:09:59.000 I apologize.

00:10:00.000 Someone give me a practical reason so I could admonish you.

00:10:03.000 Yes, please. 1.00

00:10:04.000 Help me find a non homosexual practical reason. 1.00

00:10:08.000 That exists. 1.00

00:10:09.000 I mean, it's going like 60 miles an hour.

00:10:11.000 60 miles an hour.

00:10:12.000 That's fantastic.

00:10:13.000 Yeah.

00:10:13.000 69 miles an hour.

00:10:14.000 I don't care. 1.00

00:10:15.000 It's still homosexual. 1.00

00:10:16.000 Oh, my God. 1.00

00:10:16.000 I'm all Katie. 1.00

00:10:17.000 What's your time? 1.00

00:10:17.000 It's homosexual. 1.00

00:10:19.000 Sounds like you're not really confident in your own sexuality. 0.99

00:10:21.000 Yeah, I am.

00:10:22.000 I'm married with, you know, scores of children.

00:10:24.000 So it's all fantastic.

00:10:26.000 Lane should be on TV or.

00:10:28.000 He's bobsledding?

00:10:30.000 No.

00:10:32.000 Here's the real question of the day.

00:10:34.000 Here's the real question of the day.

00:10:37.000 Somehow I think what he said was anti Semitic.

00:10:39.000 I don't know.

00:10:39.000 No, no.

00:10:40.000 I'm pro Israel and pro Jew.

00:10:42.000 Go ahead.

00:10:42.000 Gotcha.

00:10:44.000 What do you think about this Arandil?

00:10:46.000 That's the real question that I want to make sure is on our minds after we get past the healthy thing, because I think there are a lot of different opinions out there, and we will dive into that.

00:10:54.000 And what people should probably be saying as a general rule are you happy or are you not?

00:10:59.000 Are you hopeful or are you not?

00:11:01.000 A lot of people that are very silent about this.

00:11:03.000 Okay.

00:11:04.000 Let's dive into this because this won't be.

00:11:07.000 All right.

00:11:07.000 We're just going to do this.

00:11:08.000 There's no good way to say this, but the group F Cancer is urging men to do something.

00:11:15.000 To prevent prostate cancer.

00:11:18.000 And before I run this, children should not be listening or near any of this because of the suggestive, though scientifically proven healthy content.

00:11:34.000 I'm sorry.

00:11:39.000 Are these like metaphors?

00:11:41.000 No.

00:11:43.000 Gerald, didn't you pick this video?

00:11:46.000 I did not.

00:11:48.000 These are jokes you'd see at open mic night.

00:11:50.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:11:52.000 Sounds like Red Peters.

00:12:03.000 So awkward.

00:12:04.000 They found this on Bin Laden's computer.

00:12:08.000 Now we know why. 0.99

00:12:10.000 Yeah, Khomeini's son. 1.00

00:12:13.000 Oh, that one bothers me. 1.00

00:12:15.000 That's a little bit weird.

00:12:16.000 Yeah.

00:12:17.000 That's weird too.

00:12:20.000 This all makes sense in a minute, I promise. 0.99

00:12:21.000 Punching the clown. 0.98

00:12:23.000 Yeah, that's a good one. 0.69

00:12:26.000 I hate the artwork.

00:12:30.000 Listen, here's the lesson.

00:12:37.000 Ejaculate 21 or more times a month may enjoy a significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer.

00:12:47.000 So, I got to have like a negative 50%.

00:12:51.000 That's a rookie number.

00:12:52.000 There's a bunch of guys out there right now that are like, I am so healthy right now.

00:12:56.000 I cannot stress to you what I found out today on the show.

00:12:59.000 Healthy.

00:13:00.000 They stress that masturbation 21 times a month is not a substitute, by the way, for healthy prostate screenings. 0.91

00:13:08.000 What? 0.95

00:13:08.000 It's a bad month for me, 21? 0.95

00:13:10.000 What am I playing injured?

00:13:15.000 I didn't pick this and I felt like it was beautiful.

00:13:18.000 This is real.

00:13:19.000 I feel like there are other ways to achieve this, more fun ways.

00:13:22.000 Honey, I'm coming home tonight.

00:13:24.000 Men who, according to Harvard, my wife, it's a joke. 0.98

00:13:28.000 Oh, silly. 1.00

00:13:28.000 Your wife. 1.00

00:13:29.000 Men who ejaculate 21 times a month have a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer versus men who only, you know, four to seven times per month.

00:13:38.000 And as awkward as all of that is, it's important to talk about men's health.

00:13:45.000 Just make sure.

00:13:45.000 I get so nervous with stuff like this because it's so.

00:13:50.000 That's why we're all quiet.

00:13:51.000 I know.

00:13:52.000 Thanks a lot.

00:13:52.000 Every single one of you guys.

00:13:54.000 It is.

00:13:54.000 Let's let Gerald struggle through this.

00:13:57.000 No laughter at all.

00:13:58.000 It's like you guys get together before the show.

00:14:00.000 But listen, we do want to pass on helpful, useful information before we talk about not the end of the world and make sure that you guys all stay healthy.

00:14:08.000 But let me just say this.

00:14:10.000 Before the end of the world. 0.62

00:14:10.000 I mean, you don't have to get all 21 in right before the end of the world. 0.62

00:14:14.000 I don't think it works that way.

00:14:15.000 Radiation poisoning.

00:14:17.000 And prostate cancer.

00:14:18.000 Listen, they dropped leaflets in Iran.

00:14:22.000 Just in case your civilization is wiped out, make sure your prostate's healthy before you go.

00:14:26.000 But listen, and this is a serious note you shouldn't be doing this at your workplace.

00:14:40.000 Hey, Josh?

00:14:41.000 Yeah?

00:14:41.000 What are you doing in there, man?

00:14:42.000 You've been in for like 20 minutes? 0.81

00:14:44.000 I'm just slapping my salami, Gerald.

00:14:46.000 What do you think? 0.98

00:14:48.000 Josh, you're gonna need to come see me in my office, okay?

00:14:53.000 Will do, boss. 0.62

00:14:54.000 Wash your hands first.

00:14:56.000 Promise, wash your hands.

00:14:58.000 All right.

00:15:10.000 Do you always do that?

00:15:11.000 Bang your cold cuts before you bite them?

00:15:13.000 I think I'm more offended that he's eating in the bathroom.

00:15:16.000 It's a very unsanitary place to consume.

00:15:18.000 I am too. 1.00

00:15:19.000 I may have eaten a piece of that salami.

00:15:21.000 Did you really?

00:15:22.000 I said I may have.

00:15:23.000 You'll have to decide.

00:15:24.000 Allegedly.

00:15:26.000 Okay.

00:15:27.000 Now that we've got that out of our systems, I don't see.

00:15:30.000 They just, whatever.

00:15:31.000 They had to throw that in. 1.00

00:15:32.000 That bathroom has a glory hole.

00:15:35.000 Technically, it doesn't.

00:15:36.000 We had, what's his name?

00:15:37.000 Brian Stewart.

00:15:38.000 Brian Stewart.

00:15:39.000 It was just a piece that's replaced.

00:15:41.000 Enton's in there now.

00:15:42.000 Enton's in there?

00:15:42.000 I'm watching you saying, look at this.

00:15:46.000 You didn't notice?

00:15:47.000 What?

00:15:48.000 Can somebody please get a picture of that?

00:15:50.000 Does it have like an I did that kind of thing to it?

00:15:52.000 Like, is it like a.

00:15:53.000 No, he's like.

00:15:54.000 You have to see it.

00:15:54.000 Underhanded, pointing towards where you would be aiming.

00:15:58.000 Somebody get a picture of that to us at some point.

00:16:01.000 What?

00:16:01.000 It doesn't happen right now.

00:16:04.000 You did a fantastic job.

00:16:05.000 Look at the poop you made.

00:16:06.000 That's fantastic.

00:16:09.000 So many things that would be clipped out of context.

00:16:12.000 But let's get to the next story. 1.00

00:16:13.000 So we have seen a trend of women.

00:16:17.000 Over the years, but this has been going back for 10, 15, 20 years at least, right now, where they're claiming that they don't want to marry or actually even need a man at all.

00:16:27.000 It took me a long time, but I'm very happy.

00:16:30.000 I call it being single partnered.

00:16:32.000 I am just so much happier being single.

00:16:34.000 I'm going to be real with you guys.

00:16:36.000 I feel so much less stressed.

00:16:38.000 I get up every day.

00:16:39.000 I don't need to check in with anybody.

00:16:41.000 I just go out there in the world and I live my life.

00:16:43.000 The stress comes later.

00:16:44.000 In six months, I don't talk to any guys.

00:16:46.000 They'll text me.

00:16:47.000 I quite literally don't answer.

00:16:48.000 Wow.

00:16:48.000 I feel just genuinely more at peace.

00:16:50.000 This is wrong at nine levels.

00:16:51.000 Since I turned 30, I am so thankful that I have not got into this mentality that.

00:16:57.000 I need a man, I need to be rescued by Prince Charming who has to come up into my castle and kiss me.

00:17:02.000 He's got a ring on.

00:17:03.000 I think she drives a super room.

00:17:04.000 I'm very thankful to be going into my 30s single.

00:17:07.000 I think that is such a flex.

00:17:09.000 As someone who got married at 26, I mean, would though.

00:17:13.000 Separated for a little over a year, 32.

00:17:17.000 I have to tell you, I don't think there's anything better.

00:17:21.000 If being in your 20s is the trenches, there is nothing better than being in your 30s, still being hot.

00:17:28.000 Maybe having a little bit of your own money, figuring out what you want to do with your life, and having tried that married fantasy and realizing that it's maybe not all it's cracked up to be, and then you've got your whole life still ahead of you.

00:17:43.000 Well, listen, I think there are a lot of reasons why she can say that.

00:17:47.000 She's been separated.

00:17:48.000 I don't know if she came for money, made her own money.

00:17:50.000 She's like one of the most successful models of all time. 0.98

00:17:52.000 Yeah, talk to me when your kids are banging off your feet in about 10 years. 1.00

00:17:56.000 They'll be blowing guys behind a McDonald's for a buck, okay?

00:18:00.000 Yeah, please.

00:18:00.000 Exactly.

00:18:01.000 No, one of the most successful models.

00:18:03.000 Fantastic. 1.00

00:18:03.000 She's made a whole bunch of cats. 1.00

00:18:04.000 She's preaching to a bunch of cats. 0.70

00:18:05.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

00:18:06.000 She's preaching to a bunch of women who won't really be able to live that lifestyle.

00:18:10.000 But we've now reached new territory with something truly weird.

00:18:15.000 I don't know.

00:18:16.000 You tell me what you think, but wedding themed birthdays.

00:18:19.000 So the New York Times highlights this new trend, writing, For some single women, the milestone 40th birthday is more than a party.

00:18:29.000 Instead of waiting for a partner to justify a celebration, women are using the moment as a declaration of empowerment and self love.

00:18:35.000 We talked about that a minute ago.

00:18:37.000 Complete with wedding attire, a curated guest list of their closest friends and family, and the joy and excitement of a wedding.

00:18:45.000 That last part, the joy and excitement of a wedding, can only really come from the wedding.

00:18:51.000 There's no way to mimic that.

00:18:53.000 The joining of two people together to start a new life together at a birthday party, you think dressing up and doing like a little play thing is going to give you that?

00:19:02.000 I really don't think so.

00:19:03.000 But to prove us all wrong, they did profile two women in their article. 0.92

00:19:07.000 Brittany Allen, spelled A. L L Y N, who's an influencer.

00:19:11.000 I know that there's common different spellings.

00:19:13.000 I just, every time I see them, I want to see you.

00:19:17.000 See me?

00:19:18.000 No, that's not spelling a word.

00:19:20.000 Go ahead. 1.00

00:19:22.000 And this is the self described modern day Carrie Bradshaw, by the way. 1.00

00:19:27.000 And yeah, if she keeps this up, she's going to actually end up looking like a modern day Terry Bradshaw or being with one and producing that. 1.00

00:19:36.000 What?

00:19:36.000 Well, that is Terry.

00:19:39.000 Pull it back.

00:19:40.000 Oh my God.

00:19:41.000 I thought it was a whole mock up thing.

00:19:42.000 And I saw Terry in the.

00:19:46.000 She'll look the same.

00:19:47.000 The kids are going to look like Terry Bradshaw.

00:19:48.000 He's still got it, guys.

00:19:49.000 The little girl's going through chemo, apparently.

00:19:53.000 So, in case you think that we're making this up or blowing it up into something that it really isn't, Alan posted footage of her party on her Instagram account.

00:20:10.000 Pretty sad.

00:20:16.000 Who's the guy?

00:20:21.000 I'm going to tell you, I get so much to say.

00:20:22.000 I could do the next hour on this.

00:20:25.000 There's such hatred bubbling.

00:20:27.000 If I said something, you were going to say something.

00:20:29.000 Well, hold on, hold on.

00:20:30.000 There's a little bit holding me.

00:20:32.000 I mean, hold like a little.

00:20:32.000 Okay.

00:20:33.000 Okay.

00:20:33.000 I don't want to, you know.

00:20:34.000 No, I'm not.

00:20:35.000 The whole thing, I've been saying this forever, and it's a brilliant point.

00:20:38.000 Somebody should have picked up on it.

00:20:39.000 The feminist movement, you know what it is? 1.00

00:20:41.000 It's the worst case of penis envy ever. 1.00

00:20:44.000 That's all this is. 0.99

00:20:45.000 Oh, really?

00:20:46.000 You want to be independent and be able to bang a bunch of guys or not have to check in? 0.84

00:20:50.000 That's men's behavior.

00:20:52.000 It always has been. 0.98

00:20:54.000 Yeah.

00:20:54.000 And I don't know.

00:20:54.000 You'll probably disagree with me.

00:20:55.000 I don't disagree with you.

00:20:56.000 No, on this one. 0.67

00:20:57.000 Marriage isn't for men, and having kids isn't for men. 0.65

00:21:00.000 Who's with me?

00:21:04.000 Are you kidding me?

00:21:06.000 I just, that whole thing about the birth, that was just celebrating that she, this isn't all under the guise of hating men.

00:21:13.000 They're doing it, you know, they're making it look like a celebratory thing.

00:21:15.000 They're really getting back at men. 1.00

00:21:16.000 I'm going to bang you without any commitment.

00:21:18.000 I'm sure the guy's like, no, no. 0.79

00:21:21.000 No, you're exactly right.

00:21:23.000 I don't know how we're.

00:21:24.000 When I was growing up, I don't know how we've jujitsued women into doing exactly what most men want. 0.96

00:21:29.000 Now, that's not a good thing that guys want that or that women do that. 0.99

00:21:32.000 I'm just saying. 1.00

00:21:33.000 It's like you're like, oh, you're going to do exactly.

00:21:33.000 Why not?

00:21:35.000 Fantastic. 0.90

00:21:37.000 Where do most men sign up? 1.00

00:21:38.000 We need to change that.

00:21:39.000 But we also need to change this idea that you can just celebrate your way out of being single.

00:21:44.000 Or listen, I think this is really, really detrimental to society.

00:21:48.000 And I'm not going to spend too, too much time on this. 1.00

00:21:51.000 But I don't want women to believe that.

00:21:52.000 I don't want women to think, oh, look at that party.

00:21:54.000 That's fantastic.

00:21:55.000 That's a social media influencer. 0.99

00:21:57.000 You know what she's done? 1.00

00:21:58.000 She has.

00:21:59.000 Traded her, I don't know, connection to a guy, a family, getting that affirmation.

00:22:04.000 It's all hatred.

00:22:06.000 For an audience giving her the exact same thing.

00:22:07.000 She's chasing the exact same thing, except she'll never get it in a real way from an audience.

00:22:13.000 We love the people that watch our show.

00:22:15.000 We love interacting with you guys, but that's not like us having a wife and kids and a family.

00:22:20.000 There's a huge difference between us.

00:22:21.000 That's why I perform live.

00:22:22.000 You get it.

00:22:24.000 Yeah.

00:22:24.000 You actually get the interaction from the audience.

00:22:27.000 You get to feel that, but that's not the same thing as having a relationship.

00:22:29.000 Not what I'm talking about at all, but go ahead.

00:22:30.000 Yeah, no, I'm trying to help you sound more reasonable, Nick.

00:22:34.000 But her social media page is also kind of littered with content praising being single.

00:22:47.000 Story of what life is really like without a husband, especially as you get older. 0.51

00:22:52.000 Become a lesbian. 1.00

00:22:59.000 You couldn't do that with a husband, you dumbass. 1.00

00:23:04.000 We wake up whenever we have no soccer practice, no what's for breakfast from anyone, just robes and a room service menu. 1.00

00:23:11.000 You can lay in bed all day. 1.00

00:23:13.000 Oh, being a selfish whore. 1.00

00:23:15.000 That's the goal. 1.00

00:23:16.000 Okay.

00:23:19.000 Why settle for company that makes you feel like you're missing something when your own company can elevate you enough to build a life?

00:23:26.000 This is just pure hatred for men.

00:23:27.000 It's all it is.

00:23:29.000 Celebrating yourself under the guise of celebrating yourself.

00:23:32.000 It's pure hatred for men.

00:23:33.000 No, our heroine didn't die because she wasn't married by 40.

00:23:36.000 No spinster thrived because she chose herself. 0.53

00:23:39.000 She'll take her own life in 10 years.

00:23:41.000 Yeah, that is not true at all.

00:23:46.000 So talk to people who have it all.

00:23:48.000 Talk to people who have everything that they want other than family.

00:23:53.000 Talk to Tom Brady after winning Super Bowls and being married.

00:23:56.000 This is years and years ago, married to a top supermodel, making more money than just about anybody else, being a symbol of success in the United States, having every accolade thrown at you.

00:24:05.000 And he sits down for an interview and says, There's got to be more to life than this.

00:24:10.000 You're telling me that going out and having fine dining, wine, and some trips to places, who are you going to share that memory with?

00:24:17.000 Your 70 something year old aunt that you were with on that trip?

00:24:20.000 Are your kids going to go, Hey, thanks for coming to my soccer game and helping me realize that I could?

00:24:24.000 Finally, go out there and play hard and get a goal and sing their first goal, doing something meaningful like that, perpetuating the species.

00:24:32.000 No, make sure you enjoy those top hotels in France.

00:24:35.000 I'm sure that's going to be a fantastic life.

00:24:37.000 But despite not being married, Alan was profiled three years ago in BuzzFeed for freezing her eggs.

00:24:42.000 I'm not sure exactly what she's trying to accomplish there if she doesn't care about any of that.

00:24:45.000 But hey, maybe there's more to the story.

00:24:47.000 She is an influencer, by the way.

00:24:48.000 Let's go to Sarah Jacobson, an advertising executive.

00:24:52.000 She commented about her lavish 40th birthday party in Mexico, saying, I wasn't ever thinking of this as a replacement for a wedding.

00:25:00.000 Well, you made the choices that made that possible.

00:25:02.000 I don't know if I even want a wedding.

00:25:04.000 To me, what was so special was that I had all of these people in my favorite place, which is really rare as an adult.

00:25:10.000 And that aspect did feel like a wedding.

00:25:12.000 Well, as somebody who's been to a wedding and been the one that said, I do, having all your friends in one place is like a birthday party.

00:25:19.000 Okay.

00:25:20.000 It's not like a wedding, it's a much different thing.

00:25:22.000 And after seeing men wear MAGA hats in New York City on election day in 2016, she had this to say.

00:25:28.000 This type of thing didn't happen here in New York City.

00:25:30.000 Trump supporters were reserved for backwoods Americana folks. 1.00

00:25:33.000 Sure, America hated women, but we weren't about to elect a racist, homophobic asshole of a reality TV star as our next president. 1.00

00:25:40.000 The very idea was absurd. 1.00

00:25:42.000 Holding my beer.

00:25:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:25:45.000 Hey, we did it again, too.

00:25:47.000 By the way, just remember, all of this is on the heels of the median age of first marriage for women, going from 1950, 20.3 years to now 28.4, so going up about eight years, according to Pew Research.

00:26:00.000 Of high school girls who say they want to marry.

00:26:03.000 In 1993, 83% of them said they want to marry.

00:26:05.000 In 2023, the most recent data, 61% say they want to marry.

00:26:10.000 Yeah. 0.93

00:26:10.000 Do you think that's good for the country? 0.93

00:26:13.000 Do you think more selfish people, people who are like, I'm just self partnering, how about, let me just, hold on, I'll say it this way. 0.98

00:26:19.000 Do you think women lying to you so that you will go down the same road they went down is a good thing? 1.00

00:26:26.000 And I say they're lying because they're not happy. 1.00

00:26:30.000 Can people be happy in moments?

00:26:31.000 Of course.

00:26:32.000 Can you be happy when you're by yourself, not filming stuff to put on Instagram in a lonely time, in a difficult time, when somebody you love passes away that's a family member?

00:26:44.000 And you have no one really to lean on, nobody who's that intimately connected to you that you can lean on.

00:26:50.000 Is that really the kind of thing that we want to do?

00:26:51.000 And by the way, it's just to make sure other people go down the same road to justify their own actions, the choices that they have made that led them there.

00:27:01.000 That's a really bad place to be.

00:27:03.000 You want to go out and say, hey, you can be single?

00:27:05.000 Fine.

00:27:06.000 To go out and say that this is the lifestyle, this is how to be happy with nobody to tie me down?

00:27:12.000 Nah, I'm against that.

00:27:14.000 Completely against that.

00:27:15.000 I don't know if you guys.

00:27:17.000 Well, I love this idea that women are somehow oppressed still in this country.

00:27:23.000 Well, first of all, when were they ever?

00:27:26.000 When they couldn't vote, maybe?

00:27:27.000 What year was that?

00:27:28.000 That's a long time ago.

00:27:29.000 Yeah.

00:27:30.000 Well, I mean, you have to.

00:27:31.000 We've got a segment coming on that.

00:27:32.000 Yeah, you have access to, you know, we're the most successful country on the planet. 0.99

00:27:37.000 So you have access to more men with money.

00:27:42.000 What are you whining about? 1.00

00:27:43.000 All we try to do is take you to dinner and to a movie and try to get in your pants.

00:27:49.000 Boy, what a burden.

00:27:51.000 No, I'm saying our whole life.

00:27:53.000 No, I know. 1.00

00:27:54.000 All we've been doing is kissing their ass. 1.00

00:27:55.000 They're in the driver's seat. 1.00

00:27:56.000 And if you get married, something you hate so much, if it doesn't work out, you get all the shit. 1.00

00:28:01.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:28:02.000 You get the money, you get everything because all those laws bend in your.

00:28:05.000 So, you're not oppressed in any way in this country.

00:28:08.000 Go look at it.

00:28:08.000 Yeah.

00:28:09.000 Why don't you take a trip to Iran?

00:28:10.000 Now, those brunch, they're hot.

00:28:13.000 Also, a little bit more oppressed.

00:28:16.000 It's terrible.

00:28:16.000 And it's, listen, it's a very, very, very sad situation when those kinds of people are driving the narrative.

00:28:24.000 I wish people like my wife, people like the women that we've had that historically have been looked at as very strong.

00:28:29.000 Like we used to look at mothers and go, wow, how do they manage all of the kids and doing all this stuff?

00:28:35.000 It's a really wonderful thing to see. 0.86

00:28:37.000 And now we're looking at boss babes and everything else. 0.93

00:28:39.000 And thankfully, I think that trend is changing a little bit. 0.97

00:28:42.000 I hope it is. 0.97

00:28:43.000 It's not because anybody hates women. 1.00

00:28:44.000 It's not because anybody wants to control women. 0.95

00:28:46.000 I don't.

00:28:47.000 And I don't want to do either one of those things.

00:28:49.000 That would be nice because it just doesn't work. 0.98

00:28:51.000 What I'm going to say, though, and I agree with everything that's been said, is that there has been a disservice done to not only young men, but young women by a lot of people in our sphere on the conservative right that consistently shit on women and call them whores. 0.96

00:29:04.000 Well, that's fine, but that's not, I don't care if they are or they aren't, that's not going to change anybody's opinion. 0.98

00:29:09.000 You need to extol the virtues of the lifestyle they're not living.

00:29:12.000 Correct.

00:29:12.000 Why are you doing that?

00:29:13.000 Why is that actually detrimental to your long term satisfaction and happiness and well being?

00:29:18.000 This is a better option.

00:29:19.000 Yeah.

00:29:19.000 I understand why you think that you've been fed that, but instead we get.

00:29:23.000 People going on and bringing on a bunch of OnlyFans models to shit on them and act like they're really doing something. 0.86

00:29:27.000 And I just don't think they are.

00:29:29.000 I think most people are really just concerned about getting clicks and not fixing the problem.

00:29:33.000 Yeah.

00:29:34.000 Because at the end of the day, we're on the same team as them.

00:29:36.000 We're in the same country.

00:29:37.000 We're in the same society.

00:29:38.000 We should, yes, ridicule and make fun of, but, you know, offer constructive solutions like I think we do here, which I appreciate.

00:29:44.000 And that's something that I've had wrong with like the Andrew Tates and Myron Gaines of the world.

00:29:47.000 Like the approach that they take to this has been, in my opinion, very detrimental.

00:29:52.000 They identify the problem, but their solution is horrific.

00:29:56.000 They like the problem.

00:29:57.000 I think they do.

00:29:58.000 To some degree, they like it.

00:30:00.000 And I think they abuse it completely.

00:30:02.000 But listen.

00:30:02.000 Some of it felt refreshing and liberating to me.

00:30:05.000 Really?

00:30:05.000 Yeah.

00:30:06.000 I mean.

00:30:06.000 When they first.

00:30:08.000 They went off the deep end.

00:30:09.000 I agree with you, these guys.

00:30:10.000 Yeah.

00:30:11.000 But when the problem was starting to be pointed out, a lot of people said, yes, that's a problem.

00:30:15.000 Unfortunately, they went with it.

00:30:15.000 Yeah.

00:30:16.000 People felt they couldn't speak out about it.

00:30:18.000 And so they spoke out about it.

00:30:20.000 And then, like Nick said, they took it just way off the deep end.

00:30:22.000 And listen, I know that this whole situation is sad.

00:30:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:25.000 And you're going to love this segue, Nick.

00:30:26.000 And you're going to love it.

00:30:27.000 But one more thing.

00:30:30.000 What did you say?

00:30:32.000 Go ahead.

00:30:33.000 Go ahead.

00:30:33.000 I'm just saying.

00:30:34.000 If you watch TV, and I've been saying this for 30 years, and you know who puts out the stuff in Hollywood, who writes it, and stuff, you know. 1.00

00:30:42.000 Gays. 1.00

00:30:42.000 Don't say it. 1.00

00:30:43.000 No, I'm not going to say it.

00:30:46.000 It's so clearly, since I don't know about, since Charlie's Angels, TV and movies, commercials, every bit of it is about women's empowerment for the last 40 years.

00:30:57.000 Sit with me and watch TV, and I'll point it out to you.

00:30:59.000 Some stuff is more subtle than others.

00:31:02.000 But I can't watch another, that's why I haven't been in the movies in forever. 0.99

00:31:06.000 I can't watch another commercial for a cop show on a broadcast network where a black woman in an FBI vest kicks in a door with a blonde chick that looks like a supermodel. 1.00

00:31:19.000 She's got her gun out. 1.00

00:31:20.000 Count the number of times when you watch commercials, women hitting heavy bags. 0.99

00:31:24.000 I've been counting these since, I don't know, 1994. 1.00

00:31:27.000 Every commercial has a woman punching. 1.00

00:31:29.000 There's a lot of female anger out there, and it's all pointed at you guys. 0.97

00:31:33.000 I don't know why. 1.00

00:31:34.000 Just keep an eye on that when you're watching TV.

00:31:36.000 I don't care if it's a football game, whatever.

00:31:38.000 That's what you get on my show.

00:31:40.000 That's definitely true, by the way.

00:31:41.000 I asked you if you had seen Project Hail Mary, and you said, Is this a football movie?

00:31:45.000 And I immediately knew that this conversation was going no further, that I would have to find a new line to mess with you.

00:31:51.000 Listen, listen, I know that's sad.

00:31:53.000 Yeah.

00:31:54.000 But fake weddings are sad, but getting a bad deal on your mortgage is sadder.

00:32:03.000 Now that you've had an opportunity to think things over, I'm gonna give you the opportunity to talk.

00:32:10.000 Ow!

00:32:11.000 What?

00:32:15.000 You're gonna be an open chest wound if you don't tell me what I wanna hear.

00:32:20.000 Spill the beans on how you refinanced for so long.

00:32:25.000 What?

00:32:27.000 That's all you wanna know?

00:32:29.000 That's why you snuck up behind me in the bed against the parking lot and hit me over the head?

00:32:33.000 Well, yeah.

00:33:33.000 I told you it was a good segue.

00:33:34.000 That was the darkest commercial I've ever seen.

00:33:37.000 Well, Nick, I don't know how you would write a financing commercial, but.

00:33:37.000 Holy moly.

00:33:41.000 I didn't say it was bad.

00:33:42.000 What are you on your period today?

00:33:45.000 What a sensitive.

00:33:46.000 Americanfinancing.net.

00:33:47.000 Listen, even if you are a sad influencer who just turned 40 and had a wedding birthday party, you still need a house.

00:33:53.000 Everybody does.

00:33:53.000 Okay?

00:33:55.000 All right.

00:33:56.000 So let's get on to Iran.

00:33:57.000 I know we've taken a little bit of time here.

00:33:59.000 There's a lot of updates, and we're following live right now because obviously when you get to a deal like we have, I think we're what, 39 days in?

00:34:07.000 Is that right right now?

00:34:08.000 So, 39 days in from when the war began, we said give it three months.

00:34:12.000 Don't panic, 51 days remaining.

00:34:16.000 And then we will check back in and see along the way.

00:34:19.000 Obviously, you can keep track of stuff, but we'll see what's going on right now.

00:34:22.000 But here's what we're going to do there's a deal kind of on the table right now.

00:34:27.000 We're doing a then versus now with some of the online banter and then what questions we need to answer before we can really assess whether this was a success.

00:34:35.000 Was this done in America's interest?

00:34:37.000 Just for all those out there who might be pissed off, are we all clear on what side that I stand on?

00:34:44.000 I just have a functioning brain so that I can also say, hey, sometimes you have.

00:34:49.000 Goals that align with other people.

00:34:51.000 So just put that aside right now.

00:34:53.000 And recall that just yesterday morning, Trump apparently was on the brink of starting a nuclear World War III.

00:35:00.000 We are talking about the potential for nuclear war here.

00:35:04.000 That is the language that Donald Trump is using, and we should not pretend that it's the language that Trump is bombing everything in sight.

00:35:10.000 Trump is proposing to escalate to attack the president that he promised help back in January.

00:35:16.000 And talking about the annihilation of their civilization without any regard for civilian casualties. 0.92

00:35:21.000 We are talking about a madman president threatening war crimes and genocide to get his way.

00:35:27.000 Not in American history have we seen a president essentially threaten nuclear war, and we have to get in the closet.

00:35:33.000 That the president of the United States has unilateral sole authority to make those decisions.

00:35:38.000 Hey, I'm glad he at least acknowledged that the president of the United States gets to make that decision.

00:35:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:35:43.000 Has had that authority.

00:35:44.000 He himself has threatened nuclear war multiple times.

00:35:47.000 No, really?

00:35:47.000 My button works to Kim Jong un.

00:35:49.000 Ah. 0.67

00:35:50.000 We have used nukes in the past.

00:35:52.000 I mean, don't make us tell you a third time.

00:35:52.000 Yeah.

00:35:54.000 Yeah, I just don't know what he's talking about.

00:35:56.000 Hey, but Biden threatened us when we were talking to him, right?

00:36:00.000 It's fair.

00:36:00.000 Yeah.

00:36:01.000 You better have it.

00:36:02.000 With the military and stuff.

00:36:03.000 Nobody said boo.

00:36:05.000 No.

00:36:06.000 It's the media there at Cancel.

00:36:07.000 That's what we have to figure out.

00:36:08.000 Yeah.

00:36:09.000 We have to figure that out. 0.99

00:36:11.000 The Democrats and this type of crap is always going to survive as long as they have a complicit media. 0.99

00:36:16.000 Somebody has to figure that out without bringing guns and knives into it. 0.99

00:36:20.000 By the way, Trump never said anything about launching nukes.

00:36:22.000 Does everybody remember that?

00:36:23.000 Does everybody remember when Trump put that post out and we were like, hey, you probably shouldn't have said civilization ending and God bless the people of Iran? 0.52

00:36:30.000 You've been very clear that your problem is with the IRCG.

00:36:33.000 And now the prop, I'm sorry?

00:36:35.000 I heard GC.

00:36:36.000 Did I say CG?

00:36:37.000 No.

00:36:38.000 Well, go ahead.

00:36:39.000 I'll wait for it.

00:36:40.000 Listen, when I deserve it, it's fine to admire it.

00:36:42.000 I wasn't even ready to do it.

00:36:43.000 Well, you should be.

00:36:44.000 I'm hosting the show.

00:36:46.000 You knew they were going to happen.

00:36:47.000 He's been very clear, though, that his problem is not with whatever Lane said.

00:36:52.000 It's with the government of them, not the people themselves.

00:36:58.000 The moths.

00:36:59.000 That's the problem.

00:37:00.000 He's been very clear about that.

00:37:01.000 So context really does matter, but everybody ran with that.

00:37:04.000 And again, it pissed me off the wording, but you can be pissed off about the wording of this and not run off the deep end.

00:37:09.000 But fast forward.

00:37:11.000 Last night, Trump announced on his truth that a deal had been tentatively struck. 0.54

00:37:16.000 So, based on conversations with Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Maneer, I'm sorry for the pronunciations of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran. 0.81

00:37:29.000 And, oh, fudge.

00:37:31.000 I just lost my quote.

00:37:33.000 Come on.

00:37:34.000 That's probably another admonish. 0.74

00:37:36.000 And wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. 0.61

00:37:50.000 This will be a double sided ceasefire. 0.61

00:37:53.000 We received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.

00:37:59.000 He's saying this in a very verbose kind of way that doesn't seem to make as much sense as I would like him to.

00:38:04.000 Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated.

00:38:15.000 It's the most important part I hear.

00:38:18.000 What I do like about that quote yesterday with the civilization, I just like the fact.

00:38:23.000 That proved to me that he's writing his own stuff.

00:38:26.000 Nobody, nobody, yeah.

00:38:29.000 I mean, it's also, it's also kind of terrifying because he's writing his own stuff, Nick.

00:38:34.000 I love it.

00:38:35.000 Well, I don't love that particular line.

00:38:38.000 I, uh, I'm a big uh free speech guy, but anyways, well, so I'd rather him be like Mario Naufall and have an army of chatbots writing his post.

00:38:46.000 No, I do like that he's writing it.

00:38:46.000 There you go.

00:38:48.000 I just wish that he would have said, I know I was with you on that yesterday.

00:38:51.000 I agree.

00:38:51.000 I mean, IRGC, I've got it messed up in my head now, so I don't want to say it the wrong way.

00:38:56.000 I wish he would have just said that in.

00:38:57.000 Instead of civilization ending, IRGC ending.

00:39:00.000 What happened to the good old days when joking about bombing a country in nuclear war?

00:39:05.000 It was a light humor.

00:39:06.000 Where was that?

00:39:07.000 I'll tell you what.

00:39:08.000 Remember Reagan?

00:39:08.000 The bombing starts in five minutes.

00:39:10.000 Oh, yeah, yeah. 0.94

00:39:11.000 He hangs up the car and they thought he was nuts.

00:39:14.000 He meant it.

00:39:15.000 Nothing has changed in this country. 0.99

00:39:17.000 As long as the left maggots are still alive. 0.98

00:39:17.000 I know. 0.98

00:39:19.000 Go ahead.

00:39:19.000 Trump added a few hours later on Truth a big day for world peace.

00:39:23.000 Iran wants it to happen. 0.61

00:39:24.000 They've had enough. 0.65

00:39:25.000 Likewise, so has everyone else.

00:39:27.000 The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz.

00:39:31.000 There will be lots of positive action.

00:39:33.000 Big money will be made.

00:39:34.000 Iran can start the reconstruction process.

00:39:36.000 We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds and just quote unquote hanging around in order to make sure that everybody goes it.

00:39:43.000 Yes, things go well.

00:39:44.000 I feel confident that it will, just like we are experiencing in the United States. 1.00

00:39:48.000 This could be the golden age of the Middle East. 0.92

00:39:51.000 President Donald J. Trump. 0.95

00:39:53.000 That's way more positive than what he put out yesterday.

00:39:55.000 A little bit.

00:39:56.000 Like your civilization might actually die.

00:39:57.000 Somebody did get in his ear and go, hey.

00:39:59.000 And we will hang around for it.

00:40:00.000 And since the announcement, there have been a series of attacks against Israel and the Gulf states by Iran.

00:40:08.000 We just want to be clear that has happened.

00:40:11.000 And if you think this is something that we're not aware of or that we didn't expect, here is Pete Hegseth actually addressing it this morning at a conference.

00:40:20.000 As far as shooting that, we were monitoring it last night in real time.

00:40:23.000 Of course we are. 0.80

00:40:25.000 Iran would be wise to find a way to get the carrier pigeon to their troops out in remote locations to know not to shoot, not to shoot any longer, one way attacks or missiles, because this takes time sometimes for ceasefires to take hold. 0.76

00:40:41.000 We're watching it. 0.91

00:40:42.000 We're prepared if necessary, but we hope and believe that it'll hold.

00:40:47.000 Hope and believe that it'll hold, Lane.

00:40:49.000 So this is typical, right?

00:40:50.000 Yes, it's typical.

00:40:52.000 You see a lot of in the first few hours of a ceasefire, especially when the command structure in Iran is so. 0.61

00:40:57.000 Correct.

00:40:57.000 It's so decentralized.

00:40:59.000 And then you also see Israel trying to get in a few pot shots at the end. 0.56

00:41:02.000 But I think it's a good time to bring up what just broke.

00:41:06.000 According to the Fars News Agency, which is an Iranian state media, that the Iranians have stopped traffic through the Strait of Hormuz because of Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon.

00:41:15.000 And there's no secret Israel is doing that, even though that's one of the conditions that's been talked about.

00:41:22.000 And the Iranians also said, according to another one of their state run media outlets, that if Israel continues their barrage on Lebanon, Then they will pull out of the peace negotiations with the United States. 0.99

00:41:33.000 So, this might be a time for Trump to pull, they don't know what the fuck they're doing. 0.98

00:41:37.000 Yeah, this is. 0.98

00:41:38.000 Because if he wants to show that he's not being pulled around by the tail by Bibi and the Israelis, he needs to make that very clear right now. 0.79

00:41:45.000 Do we know that the Israeli strikes on Lebanon aren't retaliatory in nature? 0.86

00:41:49.000 No, they're not.

00:41:50.000 They said they weren't going to stop.

00:41:51.000 The Israelis made it very clear they weren't going to stop. 0.99

00:41:54.000 Oh. 0.99

00:41:54.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:41:55.000 So, this definitely does.

00:41:56.000 So, this plays right into the hand of a lot of people who have been critical of this administration saying that we've been led into this war by the nose by Israel. 0.97

00:42:04.000 And we're doing it just for Israel. 0.98

00:42:06.000 This is a moment.

00:42:08.000 And I pray that President Trump hears this from people who are not out here screaming at you for every single thing that you do.

00:42:14.000 This is one of those moments where you tell them to knock it off.

00:42:17.000 They are not in charge.

00:42:19.000 Israel does not run this thing.

00:42:22.000 If they want anything that we do that happens to align with what they want, I'm not saying that sometimes they don't give us some information that we feel like, yes, this works for us, it's working for you as well.

00:42:32.000 I'm not saying that that doesn't happen.

00:42:34.000 I get it.

00:42:34.000 I don't go so far as to think that they have been the only reason that we've gotten into any war in the Middle East ever.

00:42:39.000 I don't think that's reasonable.

00:42:41.000 But right now is one of those moments where you say, hey, knock it off.

00:42:44.000 Know your place.

00:42:45.000 You want peace in this region?

00:42:47.000 I think that's what you're trying to do.

00:42:48.000 That's what you say you're trying to get to.

00:42:50.000 Fantastic.

00:42:51.000 We have an opportunity to do it.

00:42:53.000 You haven't ever been able to secure it yourself.

00:42:55.000 You never will be.

00:42:57.000 I hate to tell you that.

00:42:58.000 That's the truth.

00:43:00.000 That's the kind of moment President Trump has right now to go out and really put a lot of his critics to bed.

00:43:06.000 But he also has a chance to confirm everything they've suspected.

00:43:11.000 Be very careful what you do next because a peace deal like this is fragile.

00:43:17.000 It's a two week deal.

00:43:19.000 There were a number of points that they talked about.

00:43:21.000 There was a 10 point plan, and it did include, and we kind of highlighted some of the bigger things.

00:43:26.000 There's a lot of speculation.

00:43:27.000 There has.

00:43:28.000 A lot of fake news, a lot of speculation, a lot of other stuff about this.

00:43:31.000 So take everything here with a slight grain of salt.

00:43:33.000 A little bit.

00:43:34.000 Knowledge that we have currently.

00:43:36.000 Coach yourself.

00:43:37.000 Fantastic.

00:43:38.000 Thank you for that.

00:43:39.000 Nice jujo.

00:43:39.000 Come on, folks.

00:43:40.000 Number one, the United States must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non aggression. 0.95

00:43:45.000 Number two, continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz.

00:43:48.000 A lot of people are upset about that one.

00:43:50.000 Number three, acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program.

00:43:54.000 And that was not in the English version that was released. 0.89

00:43:57.000 Correct.

00:43:57.000 You're saying?

00:43:58.000 In the initial release of this to English journalists, it wasn't included, or English language journalists, it wasn't included.

00:44:03.000 But in the Farsi release, For Iranian consumption, this point was included initially.

00:44:08.000 Gotcha.

00:44:09.000 Okay.

00:44:09.000 Number four removal of all primary sanctions on Iran.

00:44:12.000 Skipping to number nine withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region.

00:44:16.000 And number ten ceasefire on all fronts.

00:44:18.000 Here's the one, including Israel's conflict with Hezbollah and Lebanon. 1.00

00:44:24.000 So the conflict that Israel has right now, I think, with Hezbollah is justified. 0.93

00:44:32.000 Hezbollah launches rockets at Israel. 0.99

00:44:34.000 Fine.

00:44:35.000 For two weeks, though, you shut up, you sit down, and you let the adults get this thing done.

00:44:41.000 Okay?

00:44:42.000 I'm not kidding.

00:44:43.000 Like, I have been completely supportive when it makes rational sense to be so.

00:44:49.000 But in this moment, much like when Donald Trump was pissed off because they kept firing rockets at each other at the end of the 12 day war and had to tell them they don't know what the F they're doing, that's the same kind of moment you have right now.

00:45:03.000 It is a line in the sand kind of moment for Israel. 0.54

00:45:06.000 Anybody who is out there just trying to make a reasonable case. 0.73

00:45:10.000 Will have no leg to stand on anymore because you will have proven the world correct in their suspicions that you are the ones trying to cause conflict in this region.

00:45:21.000 I don't care how many rockets they shot. 0.98

00:45:23.000 Shut up, sit down, let us get this done. 0.99

00:45:25.000 You want to go attack them at some point later on because they attack you or something like that? 0.99

00:45:29.000 Fine, we can have that conversation then.

00:45:30.000 Not today.

00:45:33.000 Period.

00:45:33.000 Done.

00:45:34.000 I think Bibi will be open to that.

00:45:36.000 He should be.

00:45:36.000 I think he will.

00:45:37.000 He should have been open to that when these terms were announced.

00:45:40.000 That's my problem with this.

00:45:41.000 There's plenty to get frustrated at people with when they do stuff that is actually wrong.

00:45:47.000 Not every time they put a post out and negotiate like a lot of people did.

00:45:51.000 So here's the claim Trump caved. 0.88

00:45:54.000 He caved and accepted all of Iran's 10 point plan.

00:45:57.000 This is from Owen Jones.

00:45:58.000 This is Iran's 10 point plan, which Trump has accepted as a workable basis on which to negotiate. 0.57

00:46:04.000 Have no doubt. 0.78

00:46:05.000 This is the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the U.S. since its emergence as a superpower. 0.92

00:46:11.000 Vietnam. 0.91

00:46:12.000 I was about to say, Vietnam would like to have a word. 0.98

00:46:14.000 North Korea, I'm sorry, the Korean War, roughly not as bad as Vietnam, but I don't think we can say that's a full on win.

00:46:21.000 We achieved our initial objective.

00:46:22.000 We saved it from being completely taken over.

00:46:24.000 That's for sure.

00:46:25.000 And if that was the objective, yes.

00:46:26.000 We expanded the horizon quite quickly when we thought we could.

00:46:29.000 And then Mao Zedong was like, no, here's a million Chinese soldiers.

00:46:32.000 Here's a lot of people. 0.98

00:46:33.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:35.000 Here's.

00:46:36.000 The truth. 1.00

00:46:36.000 No, he did not, you idiots. 1.00

00:46:40.000 The 10 points are the forward facing proposal from the government, and at most, they are a basis for negotiation. 1.00

00:46:47.000 And Trump actually addressed this in an exclusive interview that he gave to Sky News last night.

00:46:52.000 So I said to him, Look, how are any of these points that you're talking about in the 10 point plan proposals that America could ever agree to?

00:47:02.000 And he was a bit pointed at this point.

00:47:04.000 He said, You don't know what the points are.

00:47:06.000 I know what they are.

00:47:08.000 And there was no, then he was then again flowing, no opportunity to interrupt. 0.88

00:47:12.000 So there was no opportunity for me to say, well, the Iranians have kind of published the points.

00:47:19.000 And he then said, this is really intriguing, Martha.

00:47:22.000 He then said, they're very good points, and most of them have been fully negotiated.

00:47:29.000 So he's disputing the Iranian position here.

00:47:31.000 He's suggesting that the negotiations are well developed already, which is a surprise.

00:47:37.000 You know, it's very debatable whether that's true or not.

00:47:40.000 And he said that they're not the maximalist demands that Iran is claiming.

00:47:46.000 Fine.

00:47:47.000 That makes sense, right?

00:47:48.000 It's not everything that they are claiming.

00:47:51.000 President Trump has said that there are a lot of these deal points that they have gotten to.

00:47:54.000 They've actually come to some agreement on.

00:47:55.000 This is all part of the process of him negotiating.

00:47:58.000 He does a lot of it in public, and it's unsettling because most people don't know how to negotiate.

00:48:03.000 And most people have not done what he's done.

00:48:05.000 In fact, very few people in the world.

00:48:06.000 He doesn't know how to negotiate.

00:48:08.000 He's so far away from that.

00:48:08.000 It seems as if.

00:48:10.000 My age.

00:48:10.000 I know.

00:48:11.000 Go ahead.

00:48:12.000 By the way, Dan Bongino just rated, Thank you very much for the raid.

00:48:15.000 We appreciate it.

00:48:16.000 Don't worry, I'll get my words right eventually here. 0.80

00:48:19.000 So, why should we believe President Trump and not Iran?

00:48:23.000 Monday, Iran explicitly rejected America's 15 point plan, saying, Iran firmly refuses any negotiations conducted under the shadow of illegal sanctions, military threats, or coercion.

00:48:36.000 They still use hashtags.

00:48:37.000 That's cute.

00:48:37.000 Hashtag diplomacy requires mutual respect, not pressure, unless that's a typo on our end.

00:48:42.000 Don't like that.

00:48:42.000 And if so, I still.

00:48:44.000 It's not.

00:48:45.000 And here's the fun part.

00:48:48.000 That sounds, man, let me just make sure.

00:48:52.000 So, refuses any negotiations under illegal sanctions, military threats, or coercion.

00:48:56.000 Well, I think aircraft carriers are military threats.

00:48:59.000 I think that qualifies.

00:49:01.000 And now they are negotiating.

00:49:05.000 Believe them over the president of the United States?

00:49:08.000 I don't know.

00:49:09.000 Results seem to say that they are coming to the table.

00:49:12.000 So now, this morning, I got another quote here for you, another truth from President Trump.

00:49:19.000 The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive regime change.

00:49:26.000 Some disagreements there.

00:49:27.000 There will be no enrichment of uranium.

00:49:30.000 That's different than one of their points, obviously. 0.97

00:49:31.000 And the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried B 2 bombers. 0.94

00:49:37.000 Nuclear dust. 0.99

00:49:38.000 I love how he puts that in quotes.

00:49:40.000 Like, hey, don't forget we have those.

00:49:41.000 It is now and has been under very exacting satellite surveillance.

00:49:46.000 Space Force!

00:49:48.000 It's an exclamation point.

00:49:50.000 I had to do it.

00:49:51.000 Nothing has been touched from the date of attack.

00:49:53.000 We are and will be talking tariff and sanctions relief with Iran. 0.67

00:49:56.000 I'm fine with that.

00:49:57.000 Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to.

00:50:00.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.

00:50:06.000 Does that seem reasonable?

00:50:07.000 So, real quick, the nuclear dust that he's referring to would be the 60% enriched uranium that was buried during the strikes this summer at Isfahan. 0.88

00:50:14.000 And when they questioned Pete Hegseth on it today, he said, Yeah, he thought we could work with the Iranians to do it, but we reserve the right to go in and get it by any means necessary.

00:50:22.000 So, again, a bunch of the stuff that Trump.

00:50:24.000 It's in process.

00:50:25.000 It's in process.

00:50:26.000 Trump is going to try to sell it as stuff that has already happened.

00:50:29.000 We want to caution.

00:50:29.000 We are not saying we've achieved the deal of this century.

00:50:32.000 A lot of this is still under negotiations.

00:50:33.000 So, again, take things with grains of salt, but understand that the negotiations that would never take place.

00:50:39.000 Monday are taking place right now.

00:50:42.000 Right, exactly.

00:50:42.000 And a lot of people said that wouldn't happen.

00:50:44.000 Most of us, if not all of us in this office, I didn't get to poll everybody.

00:50:48.000 That's why I don't know.

00:50:49.000 Said, of course, President Trump isn't going to nuke Iran.

00:50:53.000 It doesn't make any sense at all to do that.

00:50:55.000 He's probably going to get to a deal.

00:50:57.000 I doubt that this thing is going to go much further.

00:51:00.000 I mean, we don't like getting close to anything like that, but all of us thought, like, this is how he negotiates.

00:51:06.000 And though I probably wouldn't have done it like that, I don't think he's going to go and do anything.

00:51:11.000 When does he get the benefit of the doubt?

00:51:13.000 I guess never.

00:51:14.000 Especially from the left, obviously. 1.00

00:51:16.000 He's either a maniac who wants to nuke the world or he's chicken shit. 1.00

00:51:20.000 He's, you know, because he's going along with the. 1.00

00:51:24.000 He's the mad king. 0.83

00:51:24.000 He's somebody that needs to be 25th. 0.83

00:51:26.000 There's no gray area.

00:51:27.000 You know, the left love their gray area.

00:51:29.000 They're big on that.

00:51:29.000 But when it comes to Trump, it's either.

00:51:31.000 It's not just the left, too.

00:51:32.000 I mean, you're 100% right.

00:51:33.000 What we're going to highlight, too, in just a second is somebody on the right did that.

00:51:38.000 Meghan Kelly went off.

00:51:39.000 The freakouts that they have, as Nick said, after what, at the point six years of this, 10 to include since his political run.

00:51:46.000 And it's always, it's such an IQ test every time they respond, and they are not passing.

00:51:53.000 No, not at all, because in a lot of cases, one issue tends to skew everything.

00:51:58.000 But just wanted to see, like, asking you guys, when do you think the Strait of Hormuz will return to normal?

00:52:06.000 Springs Historic Halsey check in.

00:52:11.000 All right.

00:52:11.000 So on Kalshi right now, the odds, and look, we use these a lot of times because people put money on stuff like this and there's a little bit to lose instead of just an opinion.

00:52:18.000 So before May 1st, 37%.

00:52:21.000 We'll see.

00:52:22.000 Before May 15th, 60%.

00:52:24.000 Before June 1st, 62%.

00:52:26.000 I don't know what they define as return to normal.

00:52:30.000 Probably tanker traffic.

00:52:31.000 That's what it is standard.

00:52:33.000 Yeah.

00:52:33.000 I'm sure Kalshi will be fair about that.

00:52:35.000 But it's very interesting to look at what the prediction markets have to say about that.

00:52:39.000 And I always love Harry Enton's Kalshi.

00:52:42.000 Check in basically that they do on CNN.

00:52:44.000 The segment we pulled, I know.

00:52:46.000 Oh, there it is.

00:52:47.000 Oh my God, he was watching me.

00:52:49.000 So, the toilet.

00:52:50.000 So, just for clarification, that he's pointing, yeah, there you go.

00:52:55.000 Look at this.

00:52:56.000 Look at this.

00:52:57.000 All right, so let's do a little bit of then and now reaction over Trump's uh civilization ending post, uh, and versus after the ceasefire announcement.

00:53:07.000 So, Sagar Injetti, is that correct pronunciation there?

00:53:10.000 There we go.

00:53:10.000 This is his then.

00:53:13.000 I hit it right the first time.

00:53:15.000 The thing about the madman theory is that you're not supposed to be actually, or sorry, you're not supposed to actually be mad.

00:53:21.000 Here's now.

00:53:24.000 Taco Tuesday, it is pending Iranian approval.

00:53:29.000 What?

00:53:30.000 It gets worse.

00:53:31.000 And listen, I'll talk about this in a second.

00:53:32.000 Let me just go through these really quickly.

00:53:34.000 Nick Fuentes.

00:53:36.000 This is then.

00:53:38.000 Sorry, I screwed up your timing there.

00:53:41.000 Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization for Israel almost make you forget that 10 years ago, he was elected to build a border wall, repair our infrastructure, and end political corruption. 0.84

00:53:53.000 The MAGA movement was assimilated into the GOP and hijacked by Zionist Jews. 0.71

00:53:59.000 Okay, hard disagree. 0.82

00:54:01.000 Now?

00:54:03.000 Taco!

00:54:05.000 Emoji heart.

00:54:08.000 Are they just repeating themselves?

00:54:09.000 A little bit.

00:54:10.000 There's a little bit of this thing going on here.

00:54:12.000 Rokhana. 0.64

00:54:12.000 See, this is what I would expect. 0.64

00:54:14.000 I would expect to hear this from Rokhana.

00:54:16.000 That's why we didn't fill this with leftists.

00:54:18.000 I would expect this kind of thing.

00:54:19.000 Here's then.

00:54:22.000 We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump.

00:54:24.000 Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our Constitution and the Geneva Convention versus now.

00:54:33.000 Trump backed down.

00:54:35.000 Call to activism.

00:54:37.000 Then JD Vance doubles down on Trump's true social post threatening a whole civilization will die tonight and even implies Trump might use nuclear weapons.

00:54:48.000 This is a dark day in American history.

00:54:49.000 Trump needs to be removed.

00:54:52.000 Now, just over an hour before his own Iran deadline, Trump chickens out and suspends the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.

00:55:01.000 He creates the crisis, then scrambles for a rescue.

00:55:04.000 Taco Trump!

00:55:07.000 One of my favorites to hate. 0.66

00:55:09.000 Jackson Hinkle.

00:55:10.000 Then.

00:55:12.000 This is going to backfire in unthinkable ways.

00:55:15.000 Save this tweet and watch. 1.00

00:55:17.000 He's a homo. 1.00

00:55:19.000 Probably. 1.00

00:55:20.000 Versus now.

00:55:23.000 The United States is a paper tiger.

00:55:26.000 Save this tweet and watch.

00:55:28.000 No, he didn't say it the second time, did he?

00:55:30.000 Owen Jones.

00:55:31.000 Then.

00:55:32.000 Donald Trump is clearly threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran.

00:55:36.000 He needs to be removed as president to prevent a catastrophe that our species, our species, Will never recover from.

00:55:44.000 Very dramatic.

00:55:45.000 Now, Donald Trump has backed down from his threat to commit genocide against Iran.

00:55:52.000 He almost sounds disappointed.

00:55:55.000 Listen, there's no winning with these people.

00:55:58.000 Is the only thing that would have prevented them yelling taco.

00:56:01.000 You notice 1.00

00:56:48.000 the woman's still hanging on because she's tough. 1.00

00:56:50.000 That's right. 0.74

00:56:53.000 I'm telling you.

00:56:54.000 The man's the main character.

00:56:55.000 Don't get me started on Terminator 2.

00:56:57.000 It is a national treasure and it was long, but it makes the point.

00:56:59.000 Let me sum that all up for you real quick.

00:57:01.000 Do it. 0.99

00:57:02.000 Trump yesterday morning was a genocidal lunatic who was going to commit nuclear holocaust. 1.00

00:57:07.000 Right. 1.00

00:57:08.000 To fast forward this last night, Trump is a pussy because he didn't commit nuclear holocaust. 1.00

00:57:13.000 Yes. 1.00

00:57:13.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:57:13.000 So you have to pick a lane. 1.00

00:57:15.000 That's what I said too.

00:57:16.000 Don't you?

00:57:17.000 There's no gray area.

00:57:18.000 Don't you have to pick a lane?

00:57:19.000 I'm asking.

00:57:20.000 Oh, I thought you were referring to me.

00:57:21.000 I thought that was like a pun or something.

00:57:23.000 Right?

00:57:23.000 Yeah.

00:57:24.000 You have to pick one.

00:57:25.000 You can't have all lanes.

00:57:25.000 Why?

00:57:25.000 You can't have all the lanes.

00:57:26.000 You have to pick one. 1.00

00:57:27.000 Either he is a chicken or he is somebody who is a genocidal maniac. 0.99

00:57:33.000 You could say Trump made threats he should never have made. 0.98

00:57:36.000 I'm very glad that he didn't follow through on them.

00:57:38.000 It's good that we're at the negotiating table.

00:57:40.000 Let's see if we can get something done.

00:57:42.000 There.

00:57:42.000 That was the post they should have made.

00:57:43.000 That doesn't give you a million clicks from a bunch of retards on Twitter. 1.00

00:57:46.000 So I see that. 1.00

00:57:48.000 That is a great point.

00:57:49.000 That's where.

00:57:49.000 It's true.

00:57:49.000 It's 100% true.

00:57:51.000 Dave Smith actually commented.

00:57:52.000 So we posted on Stephen's account today.

00:57:55.000 Posted that this was the case.

00:57:57.000 That you got to pick a lane, basically.

00:57:58.000 He didn't say pick a lane, I said that.

00:58:00.000 And Dave Smith replied to it in a way that I'm like, just please continue to dig your own grave with this stuff.

00:58:06.000 Like, just please make it worse.

00:58:09.000 Like, you can't have it both ways.

00:58:11.000 You can't say he's a genocidal monster and then not go, okay, well, at least he took an off ramp. 0.82

00:58:16.000 He made fun of the quartering for having a low IQ. 0.95

00:58:17.000 He did.

00:58:18.000 And the only thing I could think of is, dude, you're a libertarian.

00:58:20.000 That's true.

00:58:21.000 So, like, let's not be talking about IQs.

00:58:24.000 And listen, I generally think that Dave Smith is a very smart guy.

00:58:27.000 I don't.

00:58:28.000 But fine, that's fair.

00:58:29.000 I do.

00:58:30.000 I think he's a smart guy, but you can't, you cannot hold both positions.

00:58:34.000 With any kind of intellectual honesty at all.

00:58:36.000 I don't know.

00:58:37.000 Come at me, I guess. 0.98

00:58:38.000 But the dumbest take of all has been reserved for one of my favorite people not to like. 0.97

00:58:42.000 And it's in this context. 0.97

00:58:43.000 So Zelensky, you remember Ukraine?

00:58:47.000 Volodymyr Zelensky. 0.98

00:58:49.000 Penis piano player extraordinaire. 0.99

00:58:51.000 That does nothing for your prostate health, by the way. 0.91

00:58:53.000 Go back and see the first part of the show and you'll understand.

00:58:55.000 He admonished the UN's ineffectiveness over the IRGC's actions in the Strait of Hormuz. 0.96

00:59:01.000 And the man who will never wear a pager for obvious reasons, Mehdi Hassan, responded with this dumb. 0.97

00:59:09.000 Take. 0.97

00:59:10.000 It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country.

00:59:19.000 It completely kills your credibility. 0.60

00:59:21.000 Right now, Iran is Ukraine. 1.00

00:59:23.000 You may not like to hear that, but that is a fact. 1.00

00:59:26.000 Oh, well, that's cool. 0.59

00:59:28.000 I didn't know Iran was also conscripting Down syndrome dudes. 0.88

00:59:37.000 Because that's what Ukraine did. 0.92

00:59:39.000 You don't have Down syndrome people in Islamic countries because they throw them off buildings? 0.98

00:59:42.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:59:43.000 Oh, okay.

00:59:44.000 Well, sometimes they get it right. 1.00

00:59:46.000 Also, by the way, don't forget the Shahed drones. 1.00

00:59:50.000 Since 2022, over 57,000 of them have been launched at Ukraine. 1.00

00:59:55.000 Is that made, designed, produced by, in conjunction with Iran? 0.75

01:00:01.000 Iran has been explicitly responsible for the deaths of Ukrainian citizens with the production of their Shahed drones, which is Been Russia's number probably outside of ballistic missiles, the number one attack that they've had on Ukrainian cities. 0.68

01:00:13.000 So, for whatever you think about the Ukrainians, for Mehdi dipshit Hassan to equate the Ukrainian stance on Iran to Russia's invasion of Ukraine is just it's so beyond the pale of like legitimacy.

01:00:29.000 He should log off the internet and never consider coming back. 0.95

01:00:32.000 Yes, and Mehdi Hassan obviously is he's he's one of the people that make American planes crash again. 0.97

01:00:37.000 Yes, he did. 0.99

01:00:38.000 He definitely did.

01:00:39.000 He has the worst takes all of the time, and he tries to come across as a reasonable person who is not.

01:00:45.000 Look into his past.

01:00:46.000 He's been dealt with before, and I hope he gets dealt with again, intellectually speaking, of course. 0.99

01:00:52.000 Been made to look like the complete asshat that he is. 0.98

01:00:55.000 By the way, last week, speaking of. 0.98

01:00:59.000 Listen, I know this is going to piss some of you off, but you have to listen to Tucker Carlson and ask him for evidence on stuff.

01:01:05.000 He doesn't provide it, he just says things are true.

01:01:08.000 And worse, it's not that he gives an opinion.

01:01:10.000 I wouldn't have as much of a problem with that.

01:01:12.000 Maybe I would disagree, but it's at least within the arguable bounds, right?

01:01:18.000 My problem is with maximalist claims that he makes.

01:01:22.000 So listen to this one that he made last week about the Strait of Hormuz.

01:01:26.000 Who controls the world?

01:01:27.000 Well, how do you know?

01:01:30.000 Well, you know, because in terms of this specific conflict, the nation that controls the world will be the one that opens the Strait of Hormuz. 1.00

01:01:42.000 Hate Jews! 1.00

01:01:43.000 Fantastic. 1.00

01:01:45.000 I use that one all the time, almost three times a day.

01:01:47.000 Fantastic.

01:01:48.000 Tucker, tell you what, I don't agree, but let's just say for the sake of argument that I grant your position the country that opens the Strait of Hormuz runs the world.

01:02:00.000 Who did we negotiate through and who is getting some credit for helping reopen the Strait of Hormuz? 0.99

01:02:06.000 That's right, Pakistan. 1.00

01:02:07.000 So, by your logic, Pakistan runs the world. 1.00

01:02:11.000 Does anybody believe that's true?

01:02:15.000 Tucker, stop.

01:02:18.000 This is getting crazy at this point.

01:02:20.000 It's getting quite laughable because if I just take you at your word, if I'm one of your viewers, I hate Donald Trump because I think he's doing stuff that I can't possibly get behind as a Christian, but you would vote for him again because that's what you said in one of your other videos.

01:02:35.000 And also, whoever opens the Strait of Hormuz because the United States is no longer running the world, they're the people running the world.

01:02:42.000 Now, listen, I know this kind of backfired a little bit on you because you were leaning into China.

01:02:46.000 You were basically saying that China is going to be the one that comes to the rescue and opens the strait, and therefore they are the nation that now runs the world because they have the power to get it back open.

01:02:55.000 But guess who came galloping along? 1.00

01:02:57.000 Pakistan. 1.00

01:03:00.000 You going to issue any corrections?

01:03:02.000 I don't think so.

01:03:03.000 How about on the aircraft carriers?

01:03:05.000 What did he say about that, Lane?

01:03:07.000 He made some boneheaded claims about how aircraft carriers wouldn't be important anymore just because they weren't able to open the strait of Hormuz.

01:03:13.000 Well, they hadn't been used or attempted to because that results in escalation we didn't want to do.

01:03:17.000 But furthermore, we launched a.

01:03:19.000 Basically, destruction of an entire military from our aircraft carriers. 0.97

01:03:24.000 China's currently trying to build them at light speed. 0.97

01:03:26.000 So I digress on that point.

01:03:28.000 I guess they'll be around. 0.96

01:03:29.000 The entire thing, like you said, was premised on saying, well, China's actually the country that controls the world.

01:03:34.000 No, China has a very special relationship with the Strait of Hormuz because they import something like, I don't know, two thirds of their oil through there or something like that.

01:03:41.000 I don't have a prompter in front of me like Tucker did when he was reading the statistics.

01:03:46.000 Go watch it, see what you see.

01:03:48.000 But the point is, he's trying to make it seem like China has all the leverage.

01:03:52.000 No.

01:03:52.000 They have a vested interest that countries wouldn't have, just like they would in the Strait of Malacca.

01:03:57.000 And different countries in different regions have more influence or more pressure to take action. 0.75

01:04:02.000 Yes, the Chinese were involved in this because it's of their interest to be able to access oil because they're able to put a little pressure on, or Pakistan.

01:04:08.000 That doesn't mean these countries control the world.

01:04:10.000 Right.

01:04:11.000 It means they have either negotiating leverage or they're on the other end of that in specific negotiations. 0.78

01:04:16.000 He's trying to turn every single thing that I've seen recently into the U.S. is ceding their unipolar moment to the Chinese because the Chinese ascension is just predestined. 0.91

01:04:26.000 Nothing we can do about it. 0.55

01:04:27.000 That is a troubling narrative, and I really have to wonder where it's coming from.

01:04:31.000 And then everything is an attack on Christianity.

01:04:33.000 He's just making these like absolute maximalist claims all of the time and providing no evidence for it, guys.

01:04:38.000 And really, listen, I listen to every Tucker episode, just about.

01:04:41.000 When he's talking to the priest about talking to Satan, I'm like, I don't want to listen to that.

01:04:46.000 I've never really enjoyed that.

01:04:47.000 I watched The Exorcist a few times as a kid and I couldn't sleep for like a month, so I'm not going down that road.

01:04:51.000 You listen to Tucker in the gym.

01:04:52.000 I do listen to it, it makes me work out harder because it angers me.

01:04:57.000 Because I used to enjoy hearing some of what he had to say, but now everything is about the same issue and everything is just said.

01:05:06.000 Of course, you'll have guests on that come and say things as well.

01:05:08.000 And it's not like everything's a lie or everything's being blown out of proportion, but very key facts are.

01:05:14.000 And there are so many people right now on the right, not even just talking about the left, that are doing that. 0.90

01:05:20.000 I want to make one point because it might seem like we're just trying to shit on everybody that's not us. 0.98

01:05:24.000 No. 0.97

01:05:24.000 There's lots of great voices out there. 0.97

01:05:26.000 There are.

01:05:26.000 I think Tim Pool's done some good work on this.

01:05:28.000 I think Nick Dip, go see him live.

01:05:29.000 Yep.

01:05:31.000 All right.

01:05:31.000 Or, you know, people like Clay Travis, there's a bunch of people that are level headed.

01:05:34.000 For sure.

01:05:35.000 That are great to listen to outside of us if we're not your flavor, or more niche people like, you know, China Uncensored, the China Show, if you want to get to this, or listen to scholars talk.

01:05:43.000 There's a million other sources.

01:05:45.000 The people that are the most popular right now on the X or on the intersphere of the internet, the interwebs, I just think they have ulterior motives that are strictly concerned with profits.

01:05:56.000 And that's why I think we need to call them out.

01:05:58.000 Yeah, definitely need to do that.

01:05:59.000 And listen, when people say stuff, even we disagree.

01:06:01.000 You know who came after Mehdi Hassan pretty hard?

01:06:04.000 Destiny.

01:06:05.000 I don't like anything that guy says. 0.75

01:06:06.000 I think he's one of the worst people out there.

01:06:08.000 He was correct in that.

01:06:09.000 He was very correct in his assessment.

01:06:11.000 Addictment to stripper.

01:06:12.000 No, no, that's your destiny.

01:06:14.000 I would never reference her.

01:06:16.000 So, really quickly, and we've got to go.

01:06:18.000 But before we do, we're going to send you guys off to, if you're not a Mug Club member or Rumble Premium, we're going to send you guys off to Haley Coronia.

01:06:25.000 Make sure that if you're not, just click that button, join right now.

01:06:28.000 That's how we keep the lights on.

01:06:29.000 That's how we do this show.

01:06:31.000 We do appreciate that very, very much.

01:06:33.000 $9.99 a month or $99 per year.

01:06:37.000 You can get that hand etched girthy mug.

01:06:39.000 And make sure that you support the show.

01:06:41.000 So we very much appreciate that.

01:06:43.000 But JD Vance absolutely nailed how you are supposed to respond.

01:06:49.000 If you're on the right or if you're somebody who has been supportive of President Trump and voted for him and hoping that he's going to do things that fix this country, this is how you handle situations like this.

01:06:59.000 The piece of advice I'd give to you, and I give it to American students, American conservatives in particular, is resist the temptation to think that victory is immediate.

01:07:11.000 Or that we're going to win back our civilization through instant gratification.
