Transcript

00:00:00.960 Ooh, I have watched a romantic comedy alone.
00:00:08.300 I should be doing the trash can.
00:00:10.960 I know, this is sort of telling on us here.
00:00:16.520 Senator Haggerty, thank you for taking time out of your otherwise serious schedule today
00:00:21.800 to play my drinking game.
00:00:23.960 No drinks, only getting to know one another.
00:00:26.260 The last time I was able to interview you, it was very serious.
00:00:30.380 Senator Cruz was there.
00:00:31.880 We were talking about issues and things.
00:00:33.760 Profound questions.
00:00:34.940 Conversation.
00:00:35.200 And I promise you this will be much more frivolous.
00:00:37.940 I will ask the question first.
00:00:40.580 You have to guess how I would answer.
00:00:42.960 Okay.
00:00:43.300 I have an advantage here because you're a U.S. senator,
00:00:45.760 so I probably know what you think more than you know what I think.
00:00:48.840 I own cryptocurrency.
00:00:52.180 So you have to answer whether you think I own cryptocurrency.
00:00:56.260 Yeah, yeah.
00:00:59.640 I'm going to guess yes.
00:01:01.840 Got the yes card there.
00:01:04.000 I'm ashamed to say you're wrong.
00:01:07.180 I would be a wealthier man today.
00:01:09.440 Oh, actually, no, you know what?
00:01:10.720 I answered wrong, you answered right.
00:01:12.220 I do own cryptocurrency.
00:01:13.620 I don't own any of the good ones.
00:01:15.360 Bitcoin or, you know, I don't own the ones that make you money.
00:01:17.780 I've bought the dumb meme coins.
00:01:21.320 Let's go Brandon coin, Doge coin.
00:01:24.000 Got it, got it, got it.
00:01:24.600 And so I've lost all my money.
00:01:26.460 But luckily, it was only a small amount of money.
00:01:28.360 But my friends who invested in Bitcoin or other forms of crypto earlier are now wealthier than me, probably.
00:01:35.860 No, I tell you, my children are upset with me because I won't let them invest in it.
00:01:42.640 I want to be able to legislate.
00:01:44.080 I don't want to have any ownership because I don't think it's a conflict of interest.
00:01:47.840 It would certainly draw, you know, ire in the media.
00:01:50.740 So we don't do it, but my kids have been dead.
00:01:53.660 You know, this is, this is, you're making us miss these opportunities.
00:01:56.420 Especially some of your colleagues, I can't help but notice, especially the Democrat colleagues,
00:02:00.720 especially those in the lower chamber, do sometimes seem to have really high performing portfolios.
00:02:07.220 And that raises some questions about their government work.
00:02:10.680 So honorable, even though you're foregoing, potentially some great returns.
00:02:14.760 Ooh, I have watched a romantic comedy alone.
00:02:25.340 I should be doing the trash can.
00:02:28.000 I know, this is sort of telling on us here.
00:02:31.920 Has Senator Tim Scott watched a romantic comedy?
00:02:34.920 Getting married next Saturday.
00:02:37.420 Yeah, that's okay.
00:02:39.660 So I'm going to, I'm going to say no.
00:02:43.400 Senator Scott has no, okay.
00:02:44.760 All right.
00:02:45.420 You're getting married next, it's next Saturday.
00:02:47.220 Next Saturday.
00:02:47.520 I knew you were engaged.
00:02:48.360 Congratulations.
00:02:49.100 Thank you very much.
00:02:49.660 That's great news.
00:02:50.540 All right.
00:02:51.080 100%.
00:02:51.480 And great news for your wife that you've never watched a romantic comedy alone.
00:02:54.860 I've watched a number of Iron Man shows alone.
00:02:57.720 I've watched Superman.
00:02:58.940 I know DC comedy.
00:03:00.020 People get upset.
00:03:00.820 Yes.
00:03:01.120 But the bottom line is simply this.
00:03:02.680 There are some things a man can do, and then there are some things I cannot do.
00:03:08.300 Others may be more comfortable than I am.
00:03:10.080 Sure, you're not casting aspersions.
00:03:11.420 I'm not telling you what you should do.
00:03:12.960 I'm telling you what I will not do.
00:03:14.160 You will not do this.
00:03:14.980 There's so much more to say.
00:03:15.940 First, though, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:03:19.040 The left is zealous for the blood of babies, going as far as supporting free abortions at the DNC.
00:03:24.900 Kamala's extreme, radical stance for abortion is clear in her running mate.
00:03:29.260 As First Things reported, quote, Tim Walls supports the right to infanticide.
00:03:34.860 Infanticide is the taking of a baby's life after birth.
00:03:37.860 I suppose it would also refer to it before birth.
00:03:40.320 But specifically after birth, that's what they're supporting.
00:03:42.860 It's insane.
00:03:43.400 The media have dubbed this the abortion election.
00:03:46.180 We've got to stand up to this evil.
00:03:48.180 When you join forces with Preborn, the largest pro-life organization in the country, you're protecting the greatest victims in our society, babies in their mother's womb.
00:03:56.440 Preborn's network of clinics is positioned in the highest abortion areas in the country.
00:04:01.240 They've rescued over 300,000 babies.
00:04:03.900 When a woman considering abortion searches to end her baby's life, Preborn is there.
00:04:08.220 The power of the ultrasound combined with God's love doubles a baby's chance at life.
00:04:11.700 If one ultrasound is just $28, five ultrasounds are $140.
00:04:17.840 Right now, to donate securely, dial pound 250, say baby.
00:04:21.840 That is pound 250, keyword baby, or you can go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:04:25.980 preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:04:28.960 There are valid reasons for hiding money from your spouse.
00:04:35.540 Probably relevant here at the Bitcoin conference.
00:04:38.580 Okay.
00:04:41.700 I think you would say, I think you would say no.
00:04:48.980 You're right.
00:04:50.220 You would say no.
00:04:50.780 Okay, but I've got one counterexam.
00:04:52.780 What if it's not necessarily intentional, but you're one of these guys who got into crypto 10 years ago, and you got a bazillion dollars on a thumb drive, and you lost it in your sock drawer, and now no one knows where it is?
00:05:04.660 That would be, that would seem to me a valid reason to hide it from your spouse.
00:05:07.680 You would be hiding it from yourself as well.
00:05:09.440 I guess so.
00:05:10.180 But I've heard of people doing this.
00:05:10.880 I think your wife would be very upset with you if she found out that you lost that sort of value.
00:05:14.840 But I tell you, having that sort of openness and clarity, I read an article not long ago about a guy who passed away, and he left his 401k to some girlfriend years before and forgot about it.
00:05:30.040 And after he passes away, his family's like, what happened here?
00:05:32.980 Lucky for the old girlfriend, I guess.
00:05:36.060 Yeah, I think generally that's probably.
00:05:38.900 Also because, I'm not saying I'm bad with money.
00:05:42.100 I find the wives can be a little more organized sometimes.
00:05:45.980 So just even for my own preservation of my own family as well.
00:05:50.060 It's better that she knows where things are.
00:05:51.860 I think that's right.
00:05:52.640 My wife is also, she's got a master's degree in economics, but she's very adept at spending money too.
00:05:58.000 She's far better than I am.
00:06:01.960 Marvel movies are modern day westerns.
00:06:07.460 How you would answer.
00:06:12.100 Can I show your audience my answer?
00:06:13.800 You can.
00:06:14.580 Yeah, I'll look away.
00:06:15.280 Man of culture, you say yes.
00:06:26.620 You got it right, man.
00:06:27.720 Listen, there's no doubt I was a Bonanza fan growing up.
00:06:32.420 You know, every day when it came on, I wanted to watch it.
00:06:36.220 Everybody liked Hoss, you know, Little Joe.
00:06:39.280 Today, everyone likes Iron Man.
00:06:41.960 Yes.
00:06:42.220 It's undeniably true.
00:06:45.280 It is the pop culture.
00:06:46.900 Of our time.
00:06:48.400 It's also literally true in that Logan is a superhero movie, but it's a western.
00:06:54.840 It's basically a western.
00:06:56.380 It basically has the same characteristics, not specifically, but figuratively speaking, as the old westerns.
00:07:05.640 Where you have enough time to develop a love and a passion for a character.
00:07:09.660 Yes.
00:07:10.340 Yep.
00:07:10.920 Yep.
00:07:11.400 Okay.
00:07:11.720 He almost dies.
00:07:12.600 He comes back to life, but then he dies again.
00:07:13.880 Okay.
00:07:14.180 You're right.
00:07:15.820 If a random stranger were being attacked by a shark in shallow water, I would jump in to help.
00:07:23.600 This would I jump in to help.
00:07:25.600 A random stranger.
00:07:26.760 I'm learning about myself, I'm learning about myself, I'm learning about myself, as I consider this question.
00:07:45.260 I'm going to go with yes.
00:07:46.260 I at least like to think I would.
00:07:48.640 I don't know if I'd be the most help, generally, but I think it would be, one would be morally obligated to provide some assistance.
00:07:57.360 Absolutely.
00:07:58.040 And that assistance might be the difference in life and death.
00:08:00.360 Yes.
00:08:00.860 Yes.
00:08:00.880 Okay.
00:08:01.240 That's good.
00:08:01.860 Now, I hope it's not tested.
00:08:03.820 That's good.
00:08:03.900 That's good.
00:08:04.400 But, but, and I appreciate your faith in me that I would do the right thing.
00:08:09.180 Cigar, this is an outrageous prompt.
00:08:10.940 This is an outrageous prompt.
00:08:13.200 You have to answer how I would do it.
00:08:14.440 Cigars are just pretentious cigarettes.
00:08:17.160 Oh.
00:08:18.200 That's all right.
00:08:18.960 This isn't going to take me two seconds, Stan.
00:08:20.640 No.
00:08:21.900 Obviously.
00:08:22.520 That's insulting.
00:08:23.420 That is deeply insulting.
00:08:24.300 Insult.
00:08:24.580 I wish I had a beautiful Mayflower cigar to give you right now on this.
00:08:28.400 I'm furious at whichever producer wrote that question.
00:08:31.440 Yes.
00:08:31.620 Because the other thing is, something is not pretentious, if it is not pretend.
00:08:36.180 You know, and cigar smokers, I'm just speaking for myself, there's nothing, I love a good cigar.
00:08:41.660 I knew the answer to that, and all my cigar-loving friends, none of them are pretentious.
00:08:46.920 None of them are.
00:08:47.580 No, no.
00:08:48.280 Pretend.
00:08:48.920 That's right.
00:08:49.480 Best wishes for the Nupcholes.
00:08:50.740 Thank you very much.
00:08:51.780 Thank you for sitting down.

00:08:53.580 Senator Haggerty, thank you very much for taking the time.
00:08:56.040 That was fun.
