00:02:09.780 I think you would agree.

00:02:11.660 And so, let us prepare.

00:02:14.900 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:02:16.980 a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:02:18.080 a canteen jug or a flask,

00:02:19.080 a vessel of any kind.

00:02:32.960 Go.

00:02:37.280 Mm-hmm.

00:02:38.140 Just as good as I imagined.

00:02:40.420 If not better.

00:02:42.980 Okay, somebody please go find Dr. Funk Juice

00:02:45.760 because, look, I'm deleting that clip now.

00:02:48.860 Okay. So you didn't have enough hearing the words Dr. Funk Juice yesterday that we had to do it

00:02:54.600 again today. So for everybody who cringes at that name, I saw your comments, just one more time for

00:02:59.420 you. Marcella, how are you today? Good. I'm very hopeful for California. CNN was speechless

00:03:09.040 yesterday when they saw the red. Maybe there'll be a red wave, but as always, you can never

00:03:17.760 underestimate um the fining votes crowd um because they said it's going to be about seven days for

00:03:26.540 the full election to be counted to all the votes to be counted let's wait for joel for all that

00:03:32.580 too he's going to come in you two californians can can enlighten all of us so you guys while

00:03:39.300 we wait for joel uh you know my favorite new favorite reporter from lindell tv kara castronuova

00:03:47.020 So I just find this interesting.

00:03:49.380 So she, so doctor, I can see my glasses are crooked.

00:03:52.240 Sorry, guys.

00:03:53.320 So I am really enjoying Caroline Levitt's, what is it called? 1.00

00:03:59.920 When you're on maternity leave, maternity leave. 0.99

00:04:02.180 Okay. 0.56

00:04:02.880 And because I'm really loving these guys coming in and taking the questions.

00:04:07.500 So yesterday, our favorite chick, Cara, asked him a question.

00:04:12.920 And I want to just talk about it really quick on the other side.

00:04:16.300 Do you have any medical advice for the Americans out there that are suffering from a very serious ailment called Trump derangement syndrome?

00:04:24.020 I am concerned about folks who have focused their entire life energy on dislike of the president.

00:04:30.940 It's disheartening to see people lost in that way. 0.99

00:04:34.180 But, you know, it's it's it's it's it's treating stupid is really hard and it becomes a real problem. 0.99

00:04:41.580 And these folks are off. 0.99

00:04:43.700 So love her. And I love how forward she is.

00:04:46.140 like she really gets in there. So the reason why I wanted to play that particular clip one,

00:04:50.860 because of her. Um, but two, I've, you guys might realize and, and recognize that I ask almost

00:04:57.380 everybody that comes on here. Like I've asked Dr. Drew, I've asked, um, Oh my God. I think I

00:05:03.780 even asked Stefan Molineux. I asked, uh, Gad said, you know, how do we cure people of this?

00:05:10.700 And it's so funny because last night I was watching, was it the Gutfeld show? 1.00

00:05:16.940 And he played Paul Krugman, who's like just a washed up idiot, journalist, excuse me. 1.00

00:05:23.400 And he was like, we need to demagify the country. 0.99

00:05:27.600 Almost like I realize it sounds like denazify and I'm saying that intentionally and da, da, da, da.

00:05:33.400 And it's like so interesting how the Democrats are always talking about how do we, you know, like we got to get rid of MAGA and we need to, you know, rid them.

00:05:44.100 And they've used really aggressive words like to where Scott was like, okay, we're hunted, you know, like so hunted.

00:05:50.380 And I noticed when Republicans asked the question or people that don't have TDS, I should say, or whatever, or they live in reality, you know, like when I asked the question, how do you cure TDS?

00:06:02.500 I am so sincere because I want our citizens back. They're so whacked out that I'm like,

00:06:10.780 no, come back. I want you cured. I want you to be able to have discussions again. 0.54

00:06:16.060 And it was just interesting to me when I was looking at the Paul Krugman thing and what a

00:06:21.140 lot of people say about MAGA and Trumpsters. They should be gone. Confront them in the street.

00:06:27.000 You know, they shouldn't have a say. Don't let them eat here, the whole thing. So it's just interesting. I always am now noticing that Republicans want us to come back together as a country and Democrats are like, we need to get rid of those people altogether. I don't know, Marcella, do you notice that? 0.99

00:06:46.600 Well, I mean, Paul Krugman, as everybody's saying, is an economist.

00:06:51.160 He's always been a communist. He's always been a leftist.

00:06:53.660 A lot of the TDS people are always had this disease.

00:06:59.740 We just never had a name for it.

00:07:02.020 However, there is the Silicon Valley people and there's other people that are reasonable that we can get the TDS like,

00:07:13.700 uh for example bill maher you brought him up a few times this week and what was helpful is having

00:07:21.580 um people show them the hoaxes for what they are because it's hard to see it yourself when

00:07:30.040 you're explaining to somebody but if they see it you know on their own um it would be i think it

00:07:37.440 would help you know i think that's what scott's show was is trying to um not judge people like

00:07:45.700 this but try to show them um and i by by people like this i mean people that are reasonable

00:07:51.960 but still have the tds and so i think that this is important to show them the hoax and i think

00:07:58.980 joel pollack was part of that and steve cortez so i think that needs to still keep going is show

00:08:05.200 them the lies that they've spread. I just want nothing more than for the country to at least

00:08:11.480 start to come back together a little bit. And it's not fun to live with that kind of anger and angst

00:08:17.260 all the time. And politics has just become like a sport and a hobby. It really is. And it really

00:08:24.320 shouldn't be because once the people are in, they're in, but you have to do your due diligence

00:08:29.120 and vote for the right people. Don't vote for a party. Elections matter so, so much.

00:08:35.240 But well, can I rephrase that? I mean, they matter so, so much, but then I get very disjointed when

00:08:43.160 the people get in there and they're just focused on what their special interests are and who's

00:08:49.220 paying them. Not all of them, some of them. So I don't know. I think as citizens, we need to be

00:08:55.560 more outspoken. Maybe we need to reach out more to the people with TDS as people that don't have

00:09:00.660 TDS. Um, and just be like, listen, it's okay. Like, you know, we're friends. I'm not a bad

00:09:06.060 person. You're not a bad person. Like we have to stop fighting about this stuff. I don't know.

00:09:10.440 Get everybody a Coca-Cola. And they stopped talking to me.

00:09:15.820 Yeah. It's hard. It's hard because once you start doing that, um, either they'll stop calling you

00:09:22.760 they stop talking to you or they like will ignore you know your comments so yeah well i i see someone

00:09:30.200 commented about the honey badger like we do need to stand up i mean i i'll try to extend a hand to

00:09:37.160 whoever i can i i did get in a really big argument the other day with my oldest childhood friend um

00:09:44.120 and it was so bad because she's so like out there like she's like every single thing that you could

00:09:51.960 categorize and more. I don't want to like give it all away, but I was so, I think because we

00:09:59.260 were so close, I was so triggered by her. And then I just couldn't like keep my, my shit together. 0.99

00:10:06.500 And I found myself like raising my voice and I was like, God, I almost just wish she would hang 0.99

00:10:11.000 up on me. And then we would like never talk again. Then I'm like, no, I don't. I know. I'm like,

00:10:15.300 no, I don't. I'm like, I don't, you know what? So this is like, what's going through my head

00:10:18.560 in the conversation. And then I was just like, listen, you know, and like we took the temperature

00:10:22.300 down, but it was funny because she told me I had TDS. No, she told me, I think she told me,

00:10:30.840 oh no, she told me I was a Karen. I'm like, oh no. And I was just like, what are we doing?

00:10:35.600 You know? And I was like, listen, who cares about this stuff? You know, like it has nothing to do

00:10:40.540 with us, but what Marcella, did you, were you going to say something? The new thing that's

00:10:45.880 happening to me maybe it's not happening to any of you guys out there um at the dog park i do

00:10:52.680 take take i do talk to some of the people there and quite uh a lot of them are liberal and the

00:10:59.800 first thing they bring up is epstein um and what about trump is trump is you know i don't want to

00:11:07.720 say that right our pist or whatever and he's done and there's so much proof and all of this i was

00:11:15.240 like they they end up getting all this other information i have to like rock it or something

00:11:20.600 because it's just crazy crazy stuff you're talking about but that that is a new hoax that needs to be

00:11:29.000 i'm gonna try all right so you guys i'm gonna try harder to like to extend a hand to people

00:11:35.400 and try to you know extend an olive branch or just be like hey listen it politics don't matter

00:11:41.080 people do relationships do so i can't wait let's let's pivot so everybody let us know how you do

00:11:47.320 if you're going to try to do that but we have to talk about last night and look who's here another

00:11:53.880 californian hi joel pollack hi hi so you guys had a big day in california

00:12:05.400 We did, but it's going to be interesting to you before we get into the California primary

00:12:11.420 results to tell you where I am right now.

00:12:14.560 Yeah.

00:12:14.960 Where are you?

00:12:15.440 You look like you're, I don't know, on a farm somewhere.

00:12:18.300 So I was in California until about 930 last night and I took a red eye flight.

00:12:26.720 And as I'm speaking to you, I am in upstate New York and I am visiting Scott's hometown

00:12:33.740 today as part of my work on his biography. So I am actually in beautiful, sunny upstate New York,

00:12:41.620 which is beautiful in the winter with all the snow and beautiful in the summer with all the

00:12:46.040 beautiful green forests and flowers and wildlife. And yeah, it's just fantastic to be here. So

00:12:54.240 working, working all the time and from one thing to another. But yes, we'll talk about the

00:13:00.280 California primary results. So right now, it seems that in the two big races everybody was

00:13:06.320 watching, the race for governor and the race for LA mayor, Republican Steve Hilton is leading right

00:13:12.040 now among all candidates and Democrat Javier Becerra is second. So there will be a Republican

00:13:17.180 Democrat runoff in the general. Almost certainly that means that Javier Becerra will be the next

00:13:22.720 governor unless something big happens and something big could happen because Javier Becerra

00:13:27.300 is a little too close to a corruption scandal for anyone to be comfortable about where things sit

00:13:34.580 at the moment. I've read the indictment of his former aide, who is accused of stealing from

00:13:39.540 his campaign account. And there's almost no way Javier Becerra didn't know what was going on.

00:13:44.760 So I think that anything is possible. He could be indicted, as Steve Hilton said on the debate stage.

00:13:50.820 When Hilton said that, I have to say in the last debate, it sounded a little over the top. And then

00:13:55.420 I read the indictment and I realized that Javier Becerra is probably in some legal trouble,

00:13:58.820 even though he says he isn't. So anything could happen in the governor's race. In the mayor's

00:14:03.240 race, Spencer Pratt looks like he's finishing a strong second to incumbent mayor Karen Bass.

00:14:08.380 Now, it's not nice to finish second, but Bass didn't even manage to get 40 percent and she's

00:14:13.940 the incumbent. So it does mean that she is weaker than a typical L.A. incumbent, remembering that

00:14:22.000 Eric Garcetti won reelection several years ago with something like 80% of the vote.

00:14:26.940 She's at 40 or less.

00:14:29.660 And he is going to have some disadvantages because she has the support of the unions.

00:14:33.940 But again, anything is possible.

00:14:35.400 And he's run an incredible campaign.

00:14:37.260 You think about where he started, losing his home in the fire, dismissed as a reality TV celebrity.

00:14:43.320 And he built a campaign that has grabbed the attention of the nation.

00:14:46.620 So now we're going to have a real runoff in L.A.

00:14:48.820 We're going to have a real runoff in California.

00:14:50.220 And even though the incumbent Democrats have all the advantages, the issues are on the table.

00:14:54.900 They're going to have to respond to the issues that Steve Hilton is raising, to the objections that Spencer Pratt is raising.

00:15:01.200 And they're real, especially for people like me and Spencer, because we both are from Pacific Palisades.

00:15:06.360 We watched our neighborhoods burn. He lost his house. I was just at my house yesterday.

00:15:10.500 I have half a house right now because it's in the process of being repaired after all the fire damage.

00:15:14.940 but at the same time as it's daunting to see everything that's happened and the neighborhood

00:15:22.520 basically being leveled it's also very exciting to see the house coming back so good lots of room

00:15:27.520 for hope in our two big races and i'll pause for a moment of catching my breath and letting you guys

00:15:35.380 ask any questions before i move on to the other things yeah good i actually want to play two

00:15:39.140 clips i want to show everybody the reaction clips from last night so first let's listen to steve

00:15:44.560 hilton here we go so i've been traveling this state for the last year we started off a scrappy

00:15:52.240 little startup just a handful of rebels believing that this state could be better than it is today

00:15:59.020 we're already the best place in the world no question about that there's nowhere better than

00:16:03.840 california but we all know we all know that this state has gone off track and we need to get it

00:16:11.600 back on track and I've seen the struggle that Californians are facing today that is the word

00:16:21.080 and it's a very sad thing to say about our beautiful state and I've been on the road and

00:16:25.200 doing hundreds of events and the town halls and all the people that come and I see it in your eyes

00:16:30.700 the struggle the struggle of running a small business the struggle for working people in

00:16:35.400 California. Young people who don't see their future in California anymore, who think that

00:16:42.540 they have to move to another state to have that dream of owning their own home that we used to

00:16:47.520 offer better than anywhere else in the world. That's what we need to get back for California.

00:16:54.200 The belief that we can offer that. And so to every young person watching in California,

00:17:01.400 whether you voted for me or not tonight

00:17:03.180 I just want you to know

00:17:05.200 that I see you

00:17:06.780 I believe in you

00:17:08.340 I know that you can do it

00:17:09.940 I know that we can do it

00:17:11.400 we can make California a place

00:17:14.280 where

00:17:16.260 when you work hard

00:17:18.580 it's not just a struggle

00:17:19.640 that's why my plan is so simple

00:17:21.920 and practical

00:17:22.980 not ideological

00:17:24.440 we've had enough ideology in California

00:17:26.740 haven't we?

00:17:28.140 it's time

00:17:29.180 it's time for positive practical things i'm fighting for working people in california

00:17:35.640 so that you can keep more of what you earn the best way to put money in people's pockets is to

00:17:41.400 take less out of it in the first place and that's what i'll do as your governor your first hundred

00:17:48.820 grand tax-free.

00:18:29.460 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:18:38.620 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:18:43.240 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:18:45.220 Our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:18:49.260 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:18:51.160 When you travel, travel well.

00:18:54.400 I like that.

00:18:56.320 Your first hundred grand tax-free.

00:18:58.620 I want to remind people, and maybe, Joel, you can explain too.

00:19:04.020 I try to explain to people that California, not that you guys don't know, but if you don't know,

00:19:08.660 but California is responsible for a lot of the foolishness that spreads across this country as

00:19:14.420 far as regulations and, and the things that you're just like, what are we, what are we doing?

00:19:18.780 It's always California, like messing up your, your washer and your dryer and your shower head

00:19:24.720 and the way your car is going to be and this and that. So it is kind of important for everybody.

00:19:30.200 And Joel, is that accurate? I mean, could you expound on that?

00:19:33.700 Well, I don't think it's likely to change anytime soon because even if Steve Hilton wins for governor, he's going to face a Democratic supermajority in the state legislature. So a lot of these rules that California puts into place are not going to change much, at least the ones that affect other industries. But it's true. Everything California regulates ends up changing laws in the other states. There have even been Supreme Court cases about it. Some of them went one way, some of them went the other way.

00:20:00.700 But, for example, if California has tough emission standards on vehicles, then suddenly everybody has to have the same tough emission standards on vehicles.

00:20:08.800 It's one ninth of the American population. So it's a lot of people.

00:20:13.040 Other rules. If California has minimum requirements for chickens to have space in their cages when they lay eggs, then suddenly eggs have to be different in the rest of the country.

00:20:24.560 It's just a massive amount of power over interstate commerce, which creates some constitutional

00:20:29.560 problems.

00:20:30.220 Not likely to change anytime soon, but I do think that if Hilton wins, you're going to

00:20:35.560 see fewer of the crazy gas regulations that keep our prices so high.

00:20:40.300 And my hosts are generously offering me coffee right now, which is just amazing.

00:20:44.160 So I couldn't do the simultaneous sip, but look at this.

00:20:47.180 Thanks so much.

00:20:49.120 Here we go.

00:20:50.380 This is my morning cup.

00:20:51.600 Beautiful.

00:20:52.080 I love that.

00:20:54.560 See, look at the hospitality in New York.

00:20:56.940 Love that.

00:20:58.340 We wanted to see, like, maybe when you finish, but we wanted to see the landscape, if you

00:21:06.960 were able to show us.

00:21:08.340 Well, I'll do it.

00:21:09.380 Why don't I do it when I finish?

00:21:10.560 Because I don't know.

00:21:12.360 It'll be visually disruptive.

00:21:14.620 Let's get through the fun stuff first.

00:21:16.640 Yeah.

00:21:16.920 Let me just do one more reaction from Spencer.

00:21:19.980 Okay.

00:21:20.560 Okay.

00:21:20.960 Here we go.

00:21:22.120 Spencer, do you see an uphill battle in the next month?

00:21:24.080 Absolutely not. I think the next five months I'm going to have time to build out this team to show everybody the level of Democratic supporters that I have behind me, the heavy hitters that are in this room that are all behind me.

00:21:37.740 And I think this idea that I don't represent Democrats and Republicans and independents, anyone that's just a Los Angeles citizen that wants basic quality of life, I'll be able to show that in five months.

00:21:48.460 right now the media likes to say oh he's this i'm not that i'm an angelino who said enough is enough

00:21:54.340 and i had to step up i didn't know i'd be here tonight but it's obviously god's plan and i'm

00:21:59.200 gonna go all the way and i'm gonna show everybody that i'm their mayor yeah i love him okay sorry

00:22:07.340 i got excited okay joel give me your reaction well let's do it the scott adams way okay so

00:22:15.800 So why did Spencer Pratt succeed when it wasn't apparent that he would do that at first?

00:22:23.960 So let me just get into that a little bit.

00:22:26.340 I mean, the Palisades fire burned a small, tiny corner of L.A.

00:22:31.520 If Spencer Pratt had just been a protest vote, he would have won maybe 15 percent of the vote, maybe.

00:22:39.360 Maybe up to 20 percent, but he's up near 30 percent and he beat Nitya Raman, the socialist.

00:22:45.800 You might think the socialists have more momentum.

00:22:47.580 I mean, Mamdani won in New York and the Democratic Socialists of America, they're winning Democratic Party primary races and everyone's running to adopt their agenda, you know, in the Democratic Party.

00:22:57.720 They're dictating terms to the rest of the party.

00:23:00.040 You'd think that Nithya Raman, the socialist candidate, would have done better.

00:23:02.480 So what did Spencer Pratt do?

00:23:03.720 First of all, Scott would say he had a talent stack, right?

00:23:06.460 So he wasn't just a reality TV guy.

00:23:08.600 What did Scott always say that not just about Trump, but about himself?

00:23:11.860 You know, people would say, oh, you know, Mr. Cartoonist, stay in your lane.

00:23:15.320 Well, no.

00:23:15.880 I mean, you have to build a talent stack and you don't have to stay in your lane.

00:23:19.640 You can combine your different skills and talents.

00:23:22.060 And that's what Spencer did.

00:23:23.680 So he is very good at debating politics.

00:23:27.180 He's very good at social media.

00:23:28.780 He has those skills.

00:23:29.940 He had other people come in to help him make videos.

00:23:31.900 He didn't make all those AI videos himself, but they helped get the word out.

00:23:35.720 And it turns out he can learn quickly about public policy issues because he seems to know a lot about homelessness and the other issues.

00:23:41.200 So he combined all those things to make something greater than the sum of its parts.

00:23:44.740 And I think he's going to be a very interesting candidate.

00:23:47.340 He's going to force a debate on the issues facing Los Angeles.

00:23:50.760 And so everyone, I think everyone's going to benefit, even if you don't vote for him,

00:23:53.640 don't like him or whatever, you're going to benefit from the fact that he's in the race

00:23:56.520 because he's raising the issues that affect everybody.

00:23:58.840 I also think it's interesting too, that a lot of, oh God, I hate this word, but celebrities

00:24:04.220 have come out and endorsed him.

00:24:06.300 So even if he lost, you know what?

00:24:09.040 I don't think he'll lose, but even if he did, now those people have put themselves out there

00:24:13.720 And it's kind of like I feel like it's going to allow people to now be able to say negative things about Democrats and maybe just breathe a little bit and be like, OK, I can have my own opinion and have common sense.

00:24:26.580 What do you think, Marcella?

00:24:28.740 Yeah, no, it's going to definitely help liberate lots of celebrities by speaking out, you know, being able to say something's wrong because they're they're very much.

00:24:43.720 you know you're you're blacklisted you're not going to be seen or whatever it is it's gonna

00:24:50.440 they're gonna notice that there is other people that want to support them so you you've made a

00:24:56.500 great point erica and so the joel you know i am still waiting for the cheat to come in that's all

00:25:03.460 i can say because they're still waiting you know to count the votes and all sorts of things so yes

00:25:10.480 they are. Yeah. What about that? I mean, I think that you'll see more of that in the general

00:25:16.540 election because I think some of the unions were trying to push Pratt into the general election.

00:25:22.220 There was a little trick that happened in the middle of the mayor's race where there were these

00:25:26.600 weird ads that were in favor of Karen Bass and they looked really ridiculous. So ridiculous that 0.93

00:25:32.760 they were likely to make Republicans vote against Bass. Things like Karen Bass is great at dealing 0.98

00:25:38.640 with homelessness. And you look at the ad and you're like, no, she's not. But those were paid 0.69

00:25:44.440 for by the unions. They wanted more of the Pratt vote because they calculated that it would be

00:25:49.100 better for them to have a Pratt-Bass general election than for Democrats to spend millions

00:25:56.160 of dollars on an internal fight if two Democrats made the final election. So there was a bit of

00:26:00.880 that trickery, but we haven't seen any kind of like ballot fraud or anything like that just yet.

00:26:06.120 But the only other ballot shenanigan that happened was Eric Swalwell was still on the

00:26:11.860 ballot.

00:26:12.200 So thousands of people voted for Eric Swalwell because he couldn't get his name off the ballot

00:26:15.700 in time.

00:26:16.720 He resigned too late.

00:26:18.020 So that's just sort of a side story.

00:26:20.580 But another side story that's very interesting.

00:26:23.860 Tom Steyer, billionaire, ran for governor, $200 million, all gone to waste, all gone.

00:26:31.480 The good news is at least Tom Steyer got to pay the billionaire tax.

00:26:36.120 So that's good.

00:26:39.000 I want to just point out a couple of other things,

00:26:41.160 and I only have a limited time

00:26:42.320 because I've got to jump on this editorial meeting

00:26:44.060 we have every day,

00:26:44.700 but a couple of other things that are really interesting.

00:26:48.080 In LA and San Francisco and San Diego,

00:26:52.160 the three major big cities,

00:26:54.780 voters rejected new sales taxes

00:26:57.100 and new real estate taxes, 1.00

00:26:58.580 which is really encouraging

00:27:00.420 because these were sold as these bleeding heart things.

00:27:04.760 You know, we have to pay for healthcare.

00:27:06.120 we have to pay for housing, we got to pay for this and that. Voters said, no, you have to deal

00:27:12.320 with the budget you have. And it's especially interesting to me in San Diego, because what

00:27:17.580 they were doing there was what Mamdani is doing in New York, trying to put a tax on second homes.

00:27:22.800 There are a lot of vacation homes in San Diego. It's a nice place to have a vacation. They wanted

00:27:25.980 to make you pay an extra tax. If you bought a vacation home in San Diego that you weren't

00:27:30.160 living in all the time, they wanted to force you to rent it out or whatever. And voters in San

00:27:34.640 Diego said, what is this crap? You know, this is just not how we function. Not American, basically. 0.99

00:27:39.980 So that was defeated. So there's a little bit of a tax revolt happening in California.

00:27:45.700 It means maybe that billionaire tax won't pass after all in November when that's on the ballot.

00:27:50.280 And then a couple other things. Kevin Kiley is a Republican who became an independent. He had to

00:27:57.560 become an independent because Gavin Newsom redrew his district with Proposition 50. Remember all

00:28:02.240 those gerrymandered districts. So Kevin Kiley became an independent to try to hold on to his

00:28:06.500 seat. Well, not only did he lead in the primary results, but it looks like the second place

00:28:12.340 finisher might be a Republican as of right now. We'll see what happens when the ballots are

00:28:16.620 counted. But as of right now, the second place finisher in that district is a Republican,

00:28:21.080 not because it's a Republican district, but because there were five Democrats running.

00:28:25.620 And so they split the vote. This is what we thought might happen in the governor's race.

00:28:29.200 But as of right now, if the election ended today and the ballots stopped being counted

00:28:32.780 right now, Kevin Kiley would be in a runoff against a Republican and Kiley being an independent

00:28:37.600 and an incumbent would probably win.

00:28:39.600 So it would be a major victory over Gavin Newsom if one of the members of Congress,

00:28:44.180 Newsom hates the most and tried to get rid of by redrawing his district, came back.

00:28:48.980 Even if he's an independent, not a Republican, Kevin Kiley will be able to say, I'm still

00:28:53.280 here, Gavin Newsom.

00:28:54.240 You failed to get me.

00:28:55.120 and i think that is a victory for common sense as well so nice to see gavin newsom's plans

00:29:01.820 backfiring not just nationwide but also on the local level you can't even rig your own election

00:29:07.000 gavin what's going on with him if you can't rig an election so right i mean you can destroy your

00:29:13.700 your i always call california a country i swear i don't even feel like it's part of

00:29:18.560 of america anyway so what's going on with gavin newsom do you see movement toward running for

00:29:23.800 president? Is that like for sure? Absolutely for sure. But here's something else. He didn't even

00:29:29.160 have the guts to endorse a candidate in the California governor's primary, like nothing,

00:29:33.180 right? He didn't. Now he'll endorse Becerra when it's obvious, you know, it's the only Democrat

00:29:36.760 left in the race, but zero political courage, zero. Yep. Yep. Okay. So I wanted to ask you,

00:29:43.640 I don't know how much time you have, but I wanted to ask you because I, I did have a clip I wanted

00:29:47.940 to play, but I won't waste time if I can just have your interpretation instead. But, um, so

00:29:53.680 60 minutes fired Scott Pelley. Um, and I just wanted to get your take. So I feel like this is

00:30:01.640 an important story for everybody because we have a Scott lesson, you guys, that we're going to play

00:30:07.200 after Joel leaves. And it's going to mention the media a lot and the media being a, you know,

00:30:12.960 a big problem of what's going on. Um, so, you know, it's like Barry Weiss, uh, was put in charge

00:30:19.660 over there at CBS, which is 60 minutes, uh, home base. And so what's, what's the beef? So Scott

00:30:27.680 Pelley was asked to be in a private meeting to discuss something and then said publicly, um,

00:30:34.900 just talked about his new boss. Is that kind of the gist? Yeah, not a good idea. Look, he's been

00:30:41.080 a problem for a while. And he has been very biased in his reporting. And yeah, I think he was

00:30:49.380 looking for a dramatic exit. The problem is, you know, someone asked me last week, do I think Barry

00:30:54.240 Weiss will survive at CBS? And I said yes, because, and this is another Scott Adams point, you know,

00:31:00.980 Scott Adams pointed out that one of the reasons Trump survived in 2016, when he had all these

00:31:08.120 attacks against him was if you face a thousand arrows at once, they all hurt you a little bit,

00:31:14.500 but none of them really takes you out. If you have one big arrow coming at you, then it's hard

00:31:19.840 to survive that. So what's happening with Barry Weiss is she's just getting hit by all these

00:31:23.640 little arrows and they're all disjointed and they're one after another and you just stop

00:31:29.060 caring anymore. But if the entire newsroom had resigned at once and said, we're not dealing

00:31:34.940 with this then probably she wouldn't have lasted but you know it's just like one after another and

00:31:39.960 it's not sort of a drip drip drip leading to something which is what happens with scandals

00:31:43.940 you know like eric swalwell one woman then another woman that you know it didn't it wasn't building

00:31:47.960 an intensity who cares about scott pelly nobody i mean i almost responded to his statement by

00:31:53.800 putting it out on x and just saying who like who is this guy i mean i don't even watch 60 minutes

00:31:58.200 anymore um you know i watch the clips the next day but you know these people are not as important as

00:32:04.320 they think they are. And so just do your job, report well, and don't try to make a drama queen

00:32:10.680 out of yourself. And if you do like, you know, take a number. There's so many people doing that

00:32:15.060 nowadays. You know, you can start your own Instagram or whatever. I don't know. But

00:32:19.080 these journalists take themselves so seriously and it's like, okay, you know what? Yeah. When

00:32:24.980 I was a kid and growing up, all right, 60 minutes was a thing because there was really only one

00:32:29.720 thing. You had like five channels and 60 Minutes was like, oh, okay, it's Sunday night, let's

00:32:36.040 gather around. And, you know, it just, as time went on and there was more options and they were

00:32:42.580 competing for viewers, they just turned into more of the same lying, oh, where's my sign?

00:32:51.200 Lying, you know, fraudsters who were working with politicians and everyone else to push an agenda.

00:32:58.260 and it was so obvious. And like, you think of Scott Pelley with like the Russia hoax talking

00:33:02.300 to, I forget the name of the guy who had the affair and Trump would be like, oh, those two

00:33:08.740 lovebirds. Anyway, you know, just knowingly lying and pushing hoaxes. And it just, you know,

00:33:15.660 what makes me so mad is when they like take off their glasses and they're holding them,

00:33:19.300 they're all dramatic and they're like, so tell me. And it's like, you're such a liar. You're 0.99

00:33:24.180 like another theater kid so uh joel puts his on all right joel um i've got to go

00:33:31.260 journalistic meeting right now all right you go we'll talk about it oh do you want to can you

00:33:38.120 flash us if you can't take the truth yeah can you flash it pretty i i goes i went skiing up in that

00:33:45.920 area all right so i'll have more updates from here maybe if you have me on again tomorrow

00:33:50.840 because i'm going to scott's childhood home later today take pictures post them okay thank you

00:33:58.140 hi joel um so anyway so that's like when 60 minutes was just um you know two like there

00:34:08.620 was like a couple of channels and whatever so everybody's jabbing at barry weiss i don't really

00:34:12.540 know enough about her but it's interesting so anyway um yeah you know everything woke turns 0.95

00:34:19.680 to shit and now they don't they don't like they don't like anybody controlling them whatever they 0.78

00:34:25.320 do you know yeah i was like i'm in detention you guys we were gonna do it like this one day 0.99

00:34:31.380 we're playing before we went live we're like hey how about this

00:34:36.380 oh my gosh all right so i love joel um so that's enough about the 60 minutes i'm not going to play

00:34:43.080 the clip but it was it was definitely interesting but the the point is is that i do think

00:34:49.680 people are waking up enough that they're pushing these corporations to just knock it off. Like

00:34:56.060 we're sick of the whole fake news. So there's a clip that, um, I found from Scott and you guys,

00:35:03.140 you want to just sit back for a few minutes. Okay. And, um, let's just remind ourselves of

00:35:08.480 what's going on in this world. Here we go. All right. Um, let me give you a whiteboard

00:35:17.480 of whiteboards, the presentation that you've all been waiting for. I'd like to explain how we got

00:35:23.280 here. And by the way, you could call this an opinion, but it's also just true. I'll make sure

00:35:34.000 you can both see this. Don't worry. All right. So I've got two cameras, so you're not all going

00:35:41.780 to see it as easily, but I'll put the photo online. It's already on my Twitter feed.

00:35:47.480 So here's the idea. How fake news destroyed the planet. At the moment, we're telling ourselves, oh, these people are bad, or these people are bad, and they're forces, and the government's not doing enough, and why is Black Lives Matter supporting the bad guys, and all this stuff.

00:36:09.460 I think that's all a diversion. 0.70

00:36:12.860 There is one source of the problem that is destroying the planet.

00:36:18.500 There's just one.

00:36:19.760 It's fake news.

00:36:21.880 Just fake news.

00:36:23.940 Now, remember, the fake news people are also the people who built the

00:36:28.120 we're looking for disinformation.

00:36:30.720 So the fake news and the fact checkers are the same people.

00:36:35.180 That's a real dangerous situation.

00:36:37.020 is the ultimate dangerous situation.

00:36:40.280 And outside of the 1% of people who pay attention,

00:36:44.820 99% of the public doesn't know that the news is fake.

00:36:49.360 They actually don't know.

00:36:51.620 Now, when I say that, most people think,

00:36:55.080 I know what you're saying, Scott.

00:36:56.880 You're saying the MSNBC is fake,

00:36:59.580 but the ones on the right are all real.

00:37:03.000 No, I'm not saying that.

00:37:04.400 I'm not saying that.

00:37:05.100 The news is fake.

00:37:07.020 All right. It's different kinds of fakes in different places, but it's not real news.

00:37:12.820 All right. So the fake news told us of President Trump that he was colluding with Russia, which would make him a traitor, that he said that neo-Nazis were fine people, which he never said.

00:37:27.500 He said the opposite. That would make him a racist. And he said you should drink bleach to get rid of your COVID.

00:37:33.980 He never said that. That was also a hoax. But if he had, it would have been stupid.

00:37:39.020 So the fake news told the public every fucking day that there was Russian collusion, 1.00

00:37:46.680 fine people hoaxed, drink bleach. You got a traitor, a racist, stupid guy. And if you ever 1.00

00:37:51.380 elected him, it would be the end of the world. So instead, they gave us Biden. And then Biden

00:37:56.440 gave us the Ukraine war, the Israel war, and open borders, which is the end of the United States.

00:38:03.980 This is actually the end of the world.

00:38:07.020 If we kept going in this direction, it is not survivable.

00:38:11.340 I just want to say that as clearly as possible.

00:38:13.760 We have a system at the moment that is not survivable.

00:38:18.940 This is an existential threat.

00:38:21.880 The fake news has reached not just annoying levels,

00:38:28.900 not just influential.

00:38:31.180 it is now our biggest existential risk. It will determine where we put our limited money.

00:38:39.260 It will determine if we spend ourselves into debt forever. It will keep the worst people in office.

00:38:45.300 It will keep the best people out of office. It will make countries fight each other for the

00:38:51.140 wrong reasons. It will make the nation itself turn against each other for reasons that didn't

00:38:57.280 have to happen at all. They will give you CRT, ESG, and DEI, and these guys will tell you those

00:39:04.120 are good ideas, and they will absolutely destroy the planet. So every time somebody tells you the

00:39:14.680 problem is something else that's not fake news, they're wrong. Everything flowed from that.

00:39:22.720 You can't think of anything that you would identify as a problem that did not flow directly, directly, not indirectly, but directly from fake news.

00:39:35.760 That, ladies and gentlemen, is the filter that you need to understand more than any other.

00:39:42.640 Amen. And you know what, Scott Pelley, go on Don Lemon's podcast. That's where you should be.

00:39:48.240 um it's so true when the fake news fact checkers look like the news is fact checking themselves

00:39:55.740 what are we doing um love that uh marcella what's your first takeaway on that i mean i wish he was

00:40:04.440 still here um he explained it so well um i wish that i could play this video every time i get

00:40:12.420 into an argument somewhat on the street i i should have it on on standby but um he's right

00:40:19.220 um but the interesting part is we always have to be cautious of uh the left and the right because

00:40:26.260 i believe most news is fake in general because it causes hits it causes you know have you ever

00:40:34.180 been where you're looking at x and you're like this uh this this article says something like

00:40:42.220 coffee can make you twice as beautiful or you know like whatever it is and then you click on it

00:40:48.260 and it's nothing to do with that you know it's just clickbait you know so we're in this um

00:40:54.420 world of social media that is affecting uh everybody and one of them is like likes and

00:41:01.960 fast news. We can't take time to really analyze anything. It's just going on to the next thing

00:41:11.000 and the next thing. I think there were some certain things like the assassination attempts

00:41:21.000 on President Trump. Back in Kennedy's day, that would have been full news for months and months

00:41:29.020 on end, but now it's like, okay, which one's next? That's a great analogy. Yeah. And I mean,

00:41:36.540 and to think of the multiple times this has happened and then it's like, oh yeah. Oh right.

00:41:41.060 The correspondence dinner got interrupted because somebody came running through with a gun. Like

00:41:45.960 what? It's so true. And that's why I'm just like, we've got to come back to some kind of

00:41:53.600 civility with each other because this would have been and should be huge fricking news,

00:41:59.160 but we're just like, okay, well we have like a, you know, a 12 hour news cycle now. And yeah. So

00:42:05.040 when, when things were like, okay, you went to work and at the end of the day, you came home

00:42:09.920 and you saw the evening news and we were all watching the same thing and whatever. But now

00:42:14.260 it's like all these channels, like people like us, podcasters, like we're not trying to create

00:42:18.820 news. We're just reporting on what we hear, but everybody wants to get the scoop, the story,

00:42:22.700 the clicks, the likes, the shares, the sensationalism. And how many of you in

00:42:28.500 listening to this right now in the chat freaked out after Biden when Jake Tapper comes out with

00:42:35.660 that book? And I'm like, you are such a vile, disgusting human being. And I mean that with 1.00

00:42:41.240 all sincerity. Jake Tapper is so vile, and it's not my opinion, this is my fact, that he would

00:42:48.480 just, just trounce on anyone who voted for Trump for Trump's first term, then lie like a little 0.96

00:42:56.140 puppet, little whiny puppet, still putting down anyone that liked Trump or any Republican. And 0.98

00:43:02.640 you know, Laura Trump, like the way he talked to Laura Trump, like yelling at her when she's like,

00:43:08.220 I didn't know he had a stutter. Like I, he just can't finish a sentence. And he's like, oh,

00:43:12.040 no, no, no. And he just totally like reprimands her and was so disrespectful to her. And then

00:43:16.760 he's like, oh, here's my book. I'm going on tour. The man was totally demented and everybody hit it

00:43:22.860 and everybody knew it. And you're just like, and now you're going to profit off that. So

00:43:26.580 you're going to profit on both ends and he should not be allowed to do that.

00:43:31.060 He should not be allowed to do that. So yes, you cannot loathe these lying people 0.89

00:43:38.240 enough you know so 0.97

00:43:41.280 Marcella

00:43:43.280 I am wound up over these people

00:43:45.240 I was trying to do the

00:43:47.100 what's the tapper tilt or whatever

00:43:49.500 oh no and like he does

00:43:51.640 that you're just like

00:43:53.420 stop and he's like

00:43:55.400 this is my sincere face and my

00:43:57.300 concerned face like it's all the same

00:43:59.320 face just like with a different tilt

00:44:00.840 I still have some Botox I can't really

00:44:03.040 do it and you should do the Scott Pelley

00:44:05.000 glasses like

00:44:06.100 oh he's like slowly take them off like he's very serious and he's talking oh it's like this

00:44:13.280 it's like they're acting newscast they're they're they're not real journalists it's just like

00:44:19.700 they're pretending oh my god you guys so you can't hate them enough yes sir i i believe there

00:44:27.520 are really great journalists and people that give information i don't i don't see them on

00:44:32.060 the TV or in like, you know, corporate media really ever, but you can seek them out and

00:44:38.320 they have biases too. Um, you know, there's a couple of people that I really liked and then

00:44:43.800 they're showing such a bias on certain things that I'm just like, Oh, okay. He's like, I, I can't

00:44:50.020 listen to you right now, but like when this issue passes by, like I'll come back because this thing

00:44:56.080 you are tunnel vision. So I do want to get to a clip. Miranda Devine did a sit-down interview

00:45:03.920 with President Trump. And just a couple of little takeaways. So this one, let me see which one I

00:45:11.260 wanted to play you first. Okay. So this one, oh, this was when she asked him, is there any truth

00:45:18.860 to that truth social post that we heard about him yelling at BB at the Axios report?

00:45:26.080 I just, I just, I find that this is more important than people are understanding.

00:45:31.840 So let's just take a listen to him. 0.97

00:45:34.360 When you were angry with him, you said, are you effing crazy? 0.98

00:45:37.720 What are you effing doing? 0.98

00:45:40.400 I helped you stay out of jail.

00:45:42.540 Is that true?

00:45:43.440 Did you speak to him in those terms?

00:45:44.720 I did.

00:45:45.200 I always say angry. 1.00

00:45:46.540 I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know, 0.99

00:45:55.280 At some point, I said, Bibi, we've got to stop this. 0.95

00:45:59.000 We've got to stop it.

00:46:00.140 But I have a very good relationship.

00:46:02.060 We've done well together.

00:46:04.200 He always says we could never have done it, but everybody knows that we could have never

00:46:09.120 done it without the United States.

00:46:10.780 But I've worked very well together.

00:46:13.240 I like Bibi a lot, and I've worked very well with him.

00:46:18.220 I'm a wartime president.

00:46:19.700 He's a wartime prime minister, a very important part of the world.

00:46:23.320 and i think we've done you know very well we've we've gotten along very well together

00:46:28.640 okay sean cory i told you you're you're most likely in that uh yearbook i'm sorry just talking

00:46:36.680 to a locals you're most likely in the yearbook for the the gossip remember we were talking about

00:46:41.800 so funny okay so i just think that's really important i think it's interesting the way

00:46:47.840 he's using the word we um in this context like we need to stop doing this we need to stop doing that

00:46:53.940 um but he's right like bb has this is just me talking but bb's got to stop going off half

00:47:00.380 cocked and trying to get every freaking thing that he wants done done based on us in this war

00:47:05.760 with iran so i don't know i think it's a big i and also i like how she's like you know you said

00:47:11.840 you know effing this and effing that and you'd be in jail and he's like well i wouldn't say i was

00:47:16.860 angry i was perturbed i'm like oh that's perturbed i'd hate to hear angry so marcella what do you

00:47:23.100 what are your thoughts on this whole debacle i think i think he's being the dad in the phone

00:47:28.940 call he is letting netanyahu know um the boundaries of um how things work and i and you know a lot of

00:47:38.220 people are always saying you know oh trump is just a puppet of netanyahu and it's and to be honest

00:47:46.540 it's a working relationship um but trump's not going to trump's not the type of person that

00:47:54.220 assists anybody he's just gonna tell you how it is and telling netanyahu how it is um i don't even

00:48:01.180 think he was angry he's just being himself you know um and he is pointing out that a lot of

00:48:08.540 people are are against israel because of what he what netanyahu keeps doing so somebody has

00:48:15.820 to tell him and better president trump telling him and i think uh he should be thankful uh for

00:48:24.940 the support the president trump has given him and helping him keep him out of prison i guess

00:48:31.740 you know and lobbying for him to get pardoned so yes so that is all interesting that's right but

00:48:42.300 it does you are right erica this phone call does really matter it is a big deal it's a big deal

00:48:49.680 yeah i didn't really want to brush it under the rug but it's a big deal um one other clip from

00:48:54.880 that interview uh i like this because i feel like i do the same thing uh let's listen

00:49:00.960 it's a good idea and now i was interested when you talked about how you studied

00:49:06.900 with Marco Rubio and J.D. Benz as they interact.

00:49:10.040 What is their interaction?

00:49:11.780 It's good.

00:49:12.460 How do they relate?

00:49:13.960 I study to see if they like each other.

00:49:15.600 I just find it interesting.

00:49:16.960 It's life.

00:49:17.640 It's big-time stuff.

00:49:18.840 Do you do that with everyone in the cabinet?

00:49:20.360 I do it with everybody.

00:49:21.620 Do you?

00:49:22.020 Outside of the cabinet, too.

00:49:23.440 I study everything.

00:49:24.540 I'm a studier.

00:49:25.800 Why?

00:49:26.700 Because it's interesting.

00:49:28.100 Human, the human thing, the human equation.

00:49:31.120 So I watch them together.

00:49:32.980 They get along great.

00:49:33.900 They have a good relationship.

00:49:34.960 They're sort of similar in a lot of ways.

00:49:36.900 but they're very talented.

00:49:38.400 And I think the two of them running together as a team would be very

00:49:42.820 unbeatable.

00:49:44.480 Oh, I think so too.

00:49:46.100 A hundred percent.

00:49:47.960 Okay.

00:49:48.140 So in which case JD would have to be president now.

00:49:54.160 Cause he's the VP.

00:49:56.880 Yeah.

00:49:57.460 That would make the most sense.

00:50:00.080 And it doesn't mean that Marco can't be president afterwards.

00:50:05.260 Right.

00:50:05.380 like they're both several several years um i you know what i see in president trump when he when

00:50:14.620 he and i have to mind read this but i think he's really proud of who of the legacy he leaves behind

00:50:21.300 with mark rubio and and jd vance yeah um because they're young they're vibrant and they have the

00:50:31.200 right way of acting like it's not just the policies is that they're able to withstand

00:50:38.960 the pressure of the journalist and the the the politicians i don't know uh marco rubio yesterday

00:50:48.400 was uh talking to there's so many clips we can play from that um but he gave it to uh cory booker

00:50:56.560 He gave it to all these people that wanted to attack him and wanted to, you know, hoax, you know, have him come into a hoax.

00:51:05.920 And, you know, there was a time when Republicans were easily misled to want to cross the other line or see the way that they're saying it or allow the narrative to be focused by the left.

00:51:24.480 But now Mark was taking their narrative and throwing it back at them and doing it in a style where it's not it's not angry.

00:51:35.980 It's just to it's just lethal.

00:51:39.500 I think that's what I see in J.D. Vance as well.

00:51:42.820 And I think you can tell that President Trump is happy with having such a such a legacy in them.

00:51:51.000 you know? There are a lot of great potentials on the bench for years to come, I feel like. And

00:51:57.200 yeah, JD and Marco are both really good. Actually, a lot of people are. Scott Bessent,

00:52:04.060 Stephen Miller, forget it, but they're really good at just being like, no, no, no. I didn't

00:52:10.440 answer that question because I saw, what's that crazy witch lady with the purple hair, Delora or 1.00

00:52:16.220 something she was talking to marco and oh no no no it was somebody else it was um blanche was it

00:52:23.600 todd blanche but they're all him too they're all really good right yeah so they're like they're

00:52:28.560 trying to get like a sound bite and they're just like so like he like nodded his head like he's

00:52:33.040 listening to her she goes oh you said yes he goes i didn't say anything he's like you're not getting

00:52:37.060 like a clip out of me and marco was doing that yesterday too like okay well you're you're saying

00:52:42.100 something that's not true and you know i'll tell you what the truth is and he's like you're not

00:52:46.160 going to get a clip. You're not going to take it out of context. So they're very good at it. They're

00:52:49.500 very calm. They make a lot of sense. They're not trying to be, you know, the, uh, political

00:52:55.400 statesman, you know, let's talk like nobody speaks in the world. Um, I think Trump should be really

00:53:02.740 excited about what he will be leaving behind when he's done with his, uh, term. So yeah. I, and I

00:53:11.260 don't know i mean i i just a part of me is like maybe rubio should go first and then jd and it's

00:53:18.460 like you know like but that wouldn't look right but you know so anyway i don't know i i like them

00:53:23.340 both so so in this interview with uh miranda divine uh with the new york post he left it open

00:53:30.940 uh about the santas being attorney general so that was interesting because he didn't say no to that

00:53:38.340 and they have met oh they yeah they've met yeah a couple weeks ago oh yeah looks like uh something's

00:53:48.340 going on um yep so we'll see about that um let me come back over here what do i want to tell you

00:53:56.940 guys wait there was one other thing about this i don't know but i i do like that he's studying

00:54:05.840 everybody. And I do the same thing. And I, I, I do it like everywhere I go, like how people,

00:54:11.960 I even do it like with Marcella, like if we have different guests on and I'm like, I look at how

00:54:16.780 she interacts with different people in a different way. Um, you know, like who she's vibing with,

00:54:22.380 who she isn't. I do that with myself, like how I feel around people, like what do they bring out

00:54:27.860 of me. So I think that that's a good human nature. And Stella's awake. JD and Rubio seem to get

00:54:36.780 along really, really well. But did you notice he didn't take the bait? He didn't choose one or the

00:54:45.840 other. Right. They're like his two children and he's like, they'll duke it out in the Coliseum

00:54:50.680 themselves. Hopefully he just continues that way and doesn't put his stamp on anyone.

00:54:57.660 let them have their own time in the spotlight. Um, and who knows who else might throw their hat

00:55:03.120 in. Right. Um, okay. So Marcella, did you want to, I, there was something you wanted to quickly

00:55:09.520 talk about. I forget which story it was, but we just have a couple of minutes and there's so much

00:55:14.760 news, you guys. Oh my God, we don't know where to go. Well, in Iran, um, the update is that the

00:55:20.920 ceasefire is not seizing too much um this is the the least seizing fire there's been um there was

00:55:29.880 an attack on kuwait i believe um yesterday today for us um yesterday i don't know um but it was

00:55:39.460 pretty pretty bad um the the thing that that happens with kuwait is that they don't allow

00:55:47.240 anybody to take pictures or videos it's not allowed and the uae as well so there was uh

00:55:53.960 this firing there so it still brings out the fact that there's still an ongoing war um the missile

00:56:02.120 still uh they killed one person and uh in kuwait and they also attacked a u.s military um

00:56:10.600 section but the u.s also conducted their own strike on kesem island so we're not taking it

00:56:18.700 just sitting down and they were able to um kuwait was able to defend themselves um but there was

00:56:27.120 you know it's still an ongoing thing and there's no seizing of the fire scenes

00:56:33.520 um kevin i see your question that you're asking what's kevin asking kevin said have we still not

00:56:40.280 talked about the 250th celebration debacle i did miss a couple of days so maybe i just didn't see

00:56:45.480 it there's not like too much to say about it yet at this point until things kind of get worked out

00:56:51.640 um yeah i mean i have that news story but we you know basically the 250th uh freedom 250

00:57:02.200 will be uh celebration july 4th oh and when we get closer i'm sure we'll have more to say about it

00:57:08.840 but main thing is that trump said screw you guys screw you artist um i'm gonna be the headliner

00:57:20.440 of this uh show if nobody wants to come on but there is there is reporting elise amuse 0.88

00:57:27.720 in on x said that reid hoffman was behind of course some of the artists and they're having

00:57:34.520 their own celebration again keeping the country divided so yes you know what you guys it's just

00:57:40.600 it's like it's not that it's not interesting it's just the same stuff with a different venue

00:57:45.560 it's like let's divide let's do whatever we can to dump on trump and whatever we can do to keep

00:57:52.200 us separated from people who really just want to celebrate america and love it and so it's not that

00:57:58.040 it's not it's not really an important story it's like the same story with a different vibe and i

00:58:05.080 don't think it's necessary to give it too much attention um reed hoffman needs to be like

00:58:11.240 thoroughly investigated uh his his fingerprints are everywhere epstein um anyway so we'll see how

00:58:21.000 that goes vanilla ice is holding strong i'm proud of him and listen nobody gets mad when ice ice

00:58:27.720 baby comes on. Um, except for the people that are going to be like, Oh, that's because of the

00:58:32.600 illegal immigrants. No, it's just his one hit wonder. Thank you. Um, so anyway, you guys, 1.00
