It's not, we're going to have some words with Mr. Davies.
00:00:04.020
It's not about the size of the crowd, it's the angle you photograph it from.
00:00:25.160
I know it's a drinking show, but I consider it to be very wholesome,
00:00:30.240
Sometimes we will have non-alcoholic beverages.
00:00:36.720
Before we get to my very special guest with his very special children's book,
00:00:44.560
You get to watch it, you participate virtually,
00:00:46.740
you can participate in real life, in the flesh,
00:00:53.760
We seriously underestimated how many of you would want to host a drinking game
00:01:00.240
We are selling out very quickly of the pre-orders,
00:01:03.860
Play the yes or no game with your loved ones in the flesh.
00:01:30.280
You're just outside the age range, but close enough.
00:01:40.000
Plus, I think a lot of reporters can benefit from it,
00:01:47.460
We also specialize around these parts of children's books
00:01:54.860
I'm also glad, finally, we have another mackerel-snapping paper done.
00:01:59.820
During Lent, I've decided, this is the first time ever in my whole life,
00:02:08.140
And it's actually, it's not as hard as I thought.
00:02:12.280
But you now also have a fruity-looking, non-alcoholic beverage.
00:02:16.420
Yeah, I've done it for about, actually, over 30 years.
00:02:28.000
I actually gave up these fruity, non-alcoholic beverages?
00:02:35.100
I don't usually start with an eye-opener of whiskey in the morning or something.
00:02:45.060
or, you know, counting Sundays, it's like 45 days.
00:02:48.280
I'm not really sure that that's the medical definition of that.
00:02:55.020
So usually, if there's a woman on the show, she will go first.
00:03:12.880
because he was clearly an agent of the federal government for 11 days.
00:03:23.480
And I actually, I think a lot, enough of you that I think that you would say no as well.
00:03:33.280
So, he burned bright, he burned hot, and then he was out of the White House.
00:03:40.240
I just don't know that the feds, I think that there's a standard.
00:03:59.400
Whatever this fruity concoction is, it's very enjoyable.
00:04:05.600
It's true what they say about the United States Navy Reserves.
00:04:24.760
This is, I just, I'm trying to get inside of your head right now.
00:04:50.280
But I didn't, see, this was the hardest part, is that I didn't know, I didn't have any presumptions.
00:04:59.420
So, you know what Winston Churchill said about the Navy?
00:05:05.560
Now, I don't know, does that apply to the United States?
00:05:08.860
The United States doesn't apply to the Reserves.
00:05:10.600
The Reserves, that's why I was a little, that's, this is where I think your team was throwing a curveball.
00:05:17.120
Yeah, that's why I was like, I don't, the curveball with a twist.
00:05:21.520
Do you think what, do you think what Churchill said about the Navy is true, just generally?
00:05:52.340
They were affirmed, and we keep Mr. Davies around.
00:05:55.840
I'm just wondering what sites he's searching on the internet.
00:06:01.020
Yeah, no, I'm just hoping that it's not a Daily Wire computer.
00:06:05.400
This explains a lot of the spam you guys are getting.
00:06:11.960
Mr. Davies, is there something you want to tell us?
00:06:16.280
Dancing with the stars in woke Hollywood is like wrapping your toes in bacon and playing footsie with a tiger.
00:06:54.400
I think that if you would, if we had played this game prior to being on the show, I might have answered differently.
00:07:05.800
And so, therefore, what I would have thought of my experience before going on versus after, very different.
00:07:15.660
And I enjoyed all of the people that I interacted with.
00:07:22.860
I did sort of wonder when it was announced, you know, that you won the show.
00:07:34.620
But, no, you seemed to get on pretty well with them.
00:07:40.680
And I also think, look, that negotiation was three years in the running.
00:07:46.520
But my point is that I developed some relationships where there was a back and forth where I felt confident that this was not, you know, like a setup.
00:07:53.820
That there were people who generally thought, hey, this could be a fun experience.
00:07:58.640
And I thought, okay, well, this isn't going to go that bad.
00:08:08.940
We're going to have some words with Mr. Davies.
00:08:29.900
I think that you can make, the perception does make a difference.
00:08:39.180
Nevertheless, would you not argue, as I would, if you argue this, I would defend you as arguing this.
00:08:47.640
If you just, we're talking about the numbers of eyeballs on the inauguration.
00:08:54.780
This is probably the most litigated thing that I've had to deal with.
00:09:00.040
And, unfortunately, we don't have the hours necessary to.
00:09:06.020
And the thing, I mean, the quick version of this.
00:09:08.420
Is the goal at that day was to basically say kind of what you're saying, which is it wasn't just about, if you actually look at the words, it wasn't about just saying, hey, here's the number of people in the National Mall.
00:09:22.400
And there were people that were watching it online.
00:09:23.880
There were, frankly, technological advances that didn't occur during the Obama or the George Washington or Abe Lincoln years.
00:09:32.780
So, therefore, you could stream things on platforms that didn't exist.
00:09:41.220
If we're talking about the audience for my show in the room, it is at most one person.
00:09:47.120
If we're talking about the audience for my show digitally, it's at least four or five people.
00:09:51.940
So, we're talking about the majority of my show is online.
00:09:54.800
You're going to tell me that's not the audience?
00:09:58.920
Well, I don't, I will say that there might not have been the most artful delivery.
00:10:09.120
As someone who's occasionally been attacked in the press for.
00:10:14.760
I, you know, the funny thing is, I think, I'm pretty sure I did come across something.
00:10:20.060
It was, yeah, it was, I don't, I couldn't even remember the topic now.
00:10:23.300
But, you know, the libs will, what they will do is they try to find, they'll go word for word, even if your words are precisely, perfectly right, they will either present them in a way that is the least charitable way possible, or they'll just rewrite them.
00:10:38.440
But it's also, the funny thing is, I love how they'll take what you're saying and make it assume the worst, right?
00:10:49.940
But when someone on the left says it, they'll go, well, you know what they meant was.
00:10:56.800
My first book, I had this fact check that I was talking about.
00:11:00.520
And I quoted Mike Pence, he was referring to this jobs report, and he said, you know, more Americans are working now than ever before.
00:11:09.220
Like, let's call it 200,000, 200 million people were working, whatever it was.
00:11:14.960
The Washington Post fact checker came out and said it lacked context.
00:11:18.180
Because when you looked at it proportionally to the size of the U.S.
00:11:24.600
But then they went in and said, but he lacked context because of the proportion of our overall population.
00:11:33.300
But if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
00:11:35.180
Well, listen, when you really parse what he was really meaning.
00:11:39.700
And I took the Amtrak and Snowball said this or Corn Pop.
00:11:42.900
I mean, like, there are literally, like, I got shot at here and Mandela took me out of jail.
00:11:49.040
Yeah, those are like literally not true things.
00:11:51.760
My son, I didn't talk to him about his business associates.
00:12:02.260
And, you know, everyone talks about Corn Pop, but Snowball.
00:12:13.920
Elon Musk is, at the very least, onto something when he tweeted,
00:12:18.000
Aliens built the pyramids of, referencing the Great Pyramid of Giza.
00:12:29.060
Is that because, and I'm just, I want to, just so I understand the context before I answer,
00:12:34.180
is that because the Giza sheets are from there?
00:12:39.340
It's not explainable if it's merely a product of humans.
00:12:43.160
Okay, because I just want to, this helps me answer.
00:13:03.720
My thought is, it's not aliens, because aliens aren't real.
00:13:07.900
But he's onto something in that, when most people talk about aliens, I think they're
00:13:12.720
talking about demons, sightings, or just their imagination.
00:13:16.420
The libs can't make sense of demons, because they don't have much of a sense of the spiritual
00:13:21.420
Oh, so you're actually, see, I was just thinking, does Elon think that more than is it true?
00:13:26.240
Well, he thinks it, but I think he's onto something in that.
00:13:29.020
Oh, see, that was, because I actually was answering it in the context of, do you think he thinks that?
00:13:35.160
I really hadn't thought that much about it as much as I think that, like, he's kind of
00:13:41.140
So here's what I wonder, is when they were building the pyramids, and they say, well,
00:13:48.460
I don't want to seem like the guy on the History Channel who attributes everything.
00:13:52.460
I think they worshipped demons, and I think demons play all sorts of little tricks, and
00:13:57.660
They're nothing compared to God, but, you know, they do work little tricks in the world.
00:14:01.260
Increasingly, you're seeing occult practices, or people are becoming reacquainted with
00:14:05.160
And if you told me that there was weird demon stuff going on in these ancient pagan cultures,
00:14:13.340
I'm going to spend a lot more time on the internet.
00:14:16.060
Your Wikipedia rabbit hole this evening is going to be ours.
00:14:30.020
White hate is now more widely accepted than the 2020 election results.
00:14:48.820
I was trying to parse double and triple negatives here and all sort of...
00:15:02.840
I think Mr. Davies there clearly got bored and was like...
00:15:13.340
This is making me wonder what's next, because right now...
00:15:23.880
We knew that you weren't drinking for Lent, but we figured, okay, at least a little ketamine,
00:15:33.380
The most entertaining press secretary from the past 15 years is sitting at this table.
00:15:54.760
I'm trying to see how charitable you would be to some of the people who have come before
00:16:23.040
That would have made it a little more challenging.
00:16:29.240
There have been colorful press secretaries in the past.
00:16:31.600
And you were entertaining in that you brought a lot of personality to the role.
00:16:34.860
But you were not entertaining in the way that KGP is entertaining.
00:16:37.860
I think part of it is, is that there's days when you're like, it's like, what time does
00:16:45.080
And she's like, look, we've read the briefings to the brief that Congress has briefed us on.
00:16:59.000
And so, as I've said before, look, I said look before, and we've looked at looking, and
00:17:19.600
Your average Democrat voter would be totally fine.
00:17:31.000
It's one of those times where, like, when they...
00:17:32.900
You know, every time when I was at the RNC, they would say, like, can you please not
00:17:36.920
And they're like, oh, definitely, I'll double down now.
00:17:45.520
But he knew that I like to punch these things up and irritate all the libs on campus.
00:17:56.780
It's like, hey, thank you for having my best interests here.
00:18:04.440
Your average Democrat voter would be totally fine letting Hunter Biden teach their kids
00:18:25.540
Because I think that there is a big difference between the average Democratic voter.
00:18:40.280
So I think there's a big difference between the loudest voices in the Democratic Party,
00:18:45.060
the ones that we see on Twitter, the ones we hear in Congress, and the ones that are
00:18:48.480
on television, versus the ones that you still walk down the street and they say, I'm a Democratic
00:18:56.520
But that average is probably still just over...
00:19:01.080
In two years or three years, I might have to vote differently.
00:19:08.660
See, you were approaching it from analyzing the data on the voter side.
00:19:13.800
I was taking it from the Hunter side, and I just thought, well, Hunter Biden's a straight
00:19:24.560
I think you're probably right about that, even just when you think of voters, right?
00:19:37.760
I think if you were talking about, like, the people on Twitter, they would be like,
00:19:44.240
Like, he could talk about redemption and painting and...
00:19:47.960
The little bubbles or whatever, the little circles.
00:20:01.620
I still think you can walk down the street in a lot of communities, and they'd be like,
00:20:15.760
In the long run, it's more dangerous to send your child to public school than it is to let
00:20:21.140
them travel abroad in the Middle East for a year at the age of 17.
00:20:55.300
Because, unfortunately, I think if you're in 12 grades of public school, there's an indoctrination
00:21:05.680
I can protect a kid for a year in the Middle East.
00:21:09.800
If you really wanted to, you could check in every day, and I'm going to track you with
00:21:13.200
like this app and load you up with Apple AirTags.
00:21:15.960
And it depends, you know, are you in a nice part of Beirut or Israel or something?
00:21:22.780
And if it was truly like, if you had to think about it, you could do something to say limit
00:21:27.840
12 years trying to protect your kid in public school these days with that agenda, there's
00:21:32.200
maybe one year or two years, you know, a good teacher or a good school.
00:21:36.260
But like, you've got to traverse elementary, middle, and high school.
00:21:40.220
Wait, so you're landing on it's safer in the Middle East.
00:21:45.420
In the long run, it's more dangerous to send your kid to public school.
00:21:56.180
Because, yeah, I mean, I just think, even from a physical standpoint, I mean, if you go
00:22:03.100
to some, like, inner city schools, they can be pretty rough and tumble, maybe not quite
00:22:12.620
...that come back now about fights that break out and the inability of administrators
00:22:22.000
And, I mean, like, the videos that I've seen online of some of these middle school kids
00:22:26.120
acting out and the teachers' inability to stop them, I don't think it's limited now
00:22:36.340
And you just think, when kids' minds are so malleable when they're really, really young,
00:22:40.960
if you poison that, you know, you hang around...
00:22:45.680
I mean, 12 years of that, and again, I'll give you three that you could maybe protect,
00:22:53.700
You're not public school educated, nine, 12, yeah.
00:22:56.000
Plus, now, you know what the libs do is they say, you've got to go to kindergarten, you've
00:22:59.720
got to go to pre-K, you've got to go to pre-pre-K.
00:23:01.500
I mean, they basically, they take you from the newborn ward and they throw you into an institution.
00:23:06.660
People who get upset about nicknames are real tight asses.
00:23:20.920
I mean, I don't think there should be any disagreement about that.
00:23:31.460
I just got one the other day, because I said, I was like, I don't, you don't want to make
00:23:37.960
No, that was what they called you in high school.
00:23:44.760
I was in, I was asking these guys in the chat, I said, what's a good nickname, you know,
00:23:52.580
and they have all this stuff, and I said, it's kind of lame, it's not cool.
00:24:00.080
So can I just ask, and I'm not trying to cut, but who's in this chat?
00:24:03.800
I, well, it would, um, my, yeah, it's Davies, Davies' mother, um, you know, my, not even
00:24:11.120
my wife, obviously, no, she would not tolerate.
00:24:14.820
Yeah, yeah, it's really, yeah, we've got Ben, Ben Shapiro, um, yeah, you know, just a
00:24:23.600
It's very fitting, um, but, yeah, I, I, this is, this explains a lot, though.
00:24:39.120
Banning transgenderism in public schools will galvanize the left more than it will encourage
00:24:44.460
the base to vote in 2024, assuming the conservative base.
00:24:53.980
And just banning it in the public schools will help the left more than it will help the right.
00:24:57.860
I say, no, I think it, I think it's a total winner for the right.
00:25:07.940
No, I think the left will go absolutely bonkers.
00:25:15.460
Uh, I think that these guys, it'll fire up young people and, I mean, they, they have made
00:25:26.220
And I, the, the way that they have presented this is, is a human rights and a civil rights
00:25:32.740
So I, I think that they would look at this as a, I mean, look at what they've done with
00:25:37.380
You're literally talking about kindergarten to third grade, not talking about sexuality.
00:25:41.500
I mean, most kids don't have a clue what, you know, half of the body parts they have
00:25:46.600
And we're saying don't talk about sexuality and people went nuts.
00:25:49.280
Disney's putting out statements and corporations are trying to, you know, I mean, so can, if you
00:26:01.140
Cause I mean, they called that Florida bill, the Don't Say Gay.
00:26:07.200
The idea that, hey, maybe just once, how about nine?
00:26:11.120
I just, the thing that I find so funny is that like literally as a parent, you're, you're
00:26:16.420
sitting here saying, what would, tell me what, you know, you can't put your kid on
00:26:21.300
the rise at an amusement park and you're going, but I'd like to do that.
00:26:26.180
I mean, what about like when you're done, can we get into financial planning?
00:26:30.020
Well, you'll, you'll never get that in any public school.
00:26:35.120
We got to figure, you know, we got to take you over to the books.
00:26:36.900
There's some tax consequences about what we're talking about.
00:26:43.900
No, I think you're right in the sense that, you know, I do a campus tour with Young
00:26:48.600
America's Foundation and we asked the schools, is there any topic in particular that you
00:26:53.780
think young conservatives really want to have addressed?
00:27:02.120
You know, how many, how many times are you going to talk about how boys are boys and girls
00:27:09.180
The idea that, the thing that I find funny is that you have this juxtaposition where
00:27:14.100
it's all about science, science, science, and then you're like, wait a second, but you
00:27:24.260
January 6th, we'll go down in history as the modern day Gulf of Tonkin.
00:27:31.500
Wow, there are layers to that question that I'm not sure Mr. Davies even fully appreciates.
00:27:39.720
I think he came across something on the internet and just put it right there.
00:27:45.160
He's like, I hope these guys explain what that means.
00:27:48.020
Yeah, what is the, guys, what is the Gulf of Tonkin?
00:27:57.900
Because I, I just, I don't, I think there is a, same kind of thing when I was saying
00:28:05.260
Like, there is a sect among the left that might believe that.
00:28:12.640
But I don't believe, and actually I would include a good chunk of the political media.
00:28:18.440
But I don't think beyond that, that that's really accurate.
00:28:22.780
So, if that, if you quantified that question with a little bit more specificity, then maybe.
00:28:30.320
But I, I just don't think the broader, you know.
00:28:33.220
And I, I do wonder, because the thing that's interesting is that when you talk about historical
00:28:39.560
dates, most of the time you can start to go beyond a generation and say, you know, is that
00:28:46.440
going to be taught, I don't know that, you know, I do wonder what, what the next generation
00:28:54.880
It may be in some textbooks and it may be, but I don't know that it's going to resonate.
00:28:59.800
I mean, you think I, I, I, for me, 9-11 is obviously very personal.
00:29:06.020
I, you know, serve in the military and, but it's amazing how many people have lost the
00:29:16.240
And that was a direct attack on the United States.
00:29:25.760
And yet, and I go, okay, if you lose the significance that amongst a good chunk of the population
00:29:34.400
and, and I'm not trying to, but I just, when you start to talk to folks, they still get
00:29:38.960
it, but they may not have, and in, in 20 years, you start to realize how that faded.
00:29:43.660
I, I do think January 6th doesn't have the same residents.
00:29:47.080
And I, even this past year on December 8th, I looked down at the clock.
00:29:55.000
And I did, because my grandfather fought in World War II.
00:29:59.340
I always thought that was a really important date.
00:30:01.240
And I thought, oh, I just totally missed it this year.
00:30:04.800
I mean, that one, I, I still pay attention to that one, but a lot of people don't really
00:30:09.920
And I think, December 7th, September 11th, if you had the audacity to add the date January
00:30:19.160
6th to that, it would be a punchline of a very dark joke.
00:30:24.680
And it's, and it already kind of is a sort of punchline of a hold of January 6th.
00:30:37.240
Let's do, I'm going to be speaking in cursive by the end of this.
00:30:39.500
A big reason the U.S. government wants to ban TikTok is because they're jealous that only
00:30:45.000
China can use it to spy on you, and they can't.
00:30:48.020
So I'm going to, like, no, you're right in how I would answer no, because they can spy on you.
00:31:05.760
Well, but also, I don't think the people that are banning, because it's members of Congress, I don't think there's a universal thought bubble.
00:31:20.420
Although, by the way, my best, there's a Washington Post tech reporter who tweeted out that it's unbelievable that, and I'm butchering it a little bit, but I'm not far off, that basically he said,
00:31:35.080
it's unbelievable that members of Congress are about to ban TikTok, and most haven't used it.
00:31:39.140
And I was just like, well, that's like saying that they're about to, like, most people are going to vote to go to war, and they haven't fired a missile.
00:31:45.380
I mean, that's, like, the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:31:52.080
Let me just make sure they've got all my data, and then, okay, good.
00:32:03.540
Now, there may be some again, but I don't think that's the prevailing.
00:32:06.120
I do wonder, too, if part of the pressure to ban it is a financial pressure from Silicon Valley that doesn't want competition.
00:32:15.560
But I will tell you, the funny thing about it is, if it is, they're doing a bad job.
00:32:23.000
If I were YouTube or Snap or any of these folks, I would be trying to push them out a little or egg it on, and I don't get the sense that they are.
00:32:37.660
But the dirty secret, by the way, that I thought was hysterical, three things.
00:32:41.120
One, when the CEO of TikTok testified, his talking points were written by a PR firm in D.C. that's closely tied to Google, right?
00:32:54.600
No, no, no, well, to Google, but also to Anita Dunn.
00:33:02.420
Anita Dunn, his senior advisor, that she's on leave from that firm.
00:33:06.280
Then, secondly, all of these media organizations, Playbook, Axios, Punchbowl News, they've all taken TikTok's money in the form of sponsorships.
00:33:18.460
And then the third thing that I think is interesting is when Trump didn't accept the intel community's warnings about Russia's interference, everyone on the left and the media went nuts and said, can you believe that Trump will not accept the warning?
00:33:36.100
And then when the FBI and the intel communities come out and say, TikTok is a threat to national security, they go, well, you know, I mean, it's not.
00:33:50.340
I mean, it's amazing that they all freak out when it's the FBI.
00:33:53.920
But when they all want to do it and it's their base and they're all getting money, then it's like, you know, who are they to say anything?
00:34:06.580
So that's what I think is interesting about that.
00:34:12.680
As I go to read this, there's highlighter on two words.
00:34:21.420
Possible and likely the other highlighted word.
00:34:25.240
So the two highlighted words that we must stress is that the national divorce is both.
00:34:33.880
Possible, which I would have highlighted possible and likely.
00:34:38.800
Somebody wasn't really focused with their highlighter.
00:34:43.800
I don't know what kind of, like, classes the Daily Wire has.
00:34:49.580
I'm going to have to talk to Jeremy about this.
00:34:51.520
But the national divorce is both possible and likely.
00:35:06.680
See, what's missing from this is an understanding of the prenup.
00:35:12.280
That when the colonies were getting together, and this is something that, again, is just missing in history.
00:35:18.540
And this is governing a lot of what's happening right now.
00:35:22.100
And that's why there's not going to be a divorce.
00:35:24.440
Because the cost of the settlement would be too high.
00:35:27.360
And some of the custody battles that would ensue were way too messy.
00:35:30.880
It's like, you know, when couples who don't like each other, but they've been together for so long, they just kind of live separate lives.
00:35:40.160
Now, I wonder one could, if they really wanted to pursue this, a couple of mackerel snappers, probably not big on divorce.
00:35:49.600
One could look into the nature of a revolution.
00:35:50.960
By the way, I was watching this story the other day.
00:35:54.180
I believe it's Oregon and Idaho about how one part of one county is trying to join.
00:35:59.680
And I was like, you know, that in itself I thought was fascinating.
00:36:03.880
But you start to think of like a bunch of these states where you think of like Texas, right?
00:36:08.680
So you've got Austin and then a bunch of more conservative parts around it.
00:36:16.400
So you've got Nashville and then a lot of the rest of Tennessee.
00:36:22.520
But like a lot of these states, so this idea of a national divorce, Georgia, you've got Atlanta and the suburbs, and then the rest of Georgia.
00:36:31.940
It's funny because within the states, there's very few that you've got this.
00:36:38.360
I mean, yes, you've got your Californians and New Yorks versus, say, a Montana, a South Dakota.
00:36:46.620
You know, during the Cathar Crusade of, I believe, 1206.
00:36:53.900
I was, well, anyway, I don't want to call it out.
00:36:56.720
So the Catholics came down and there were these Cathars, you know, these crazy Albigensians who were destroying civilization.
00:37:03.600
And I forget which military leader it was, just as I forgot if it was 1206 or 1207.
00:37:09.480
And they go and they say, all the Catholics come out of the town, but the Catholics don't come out.
00:37:13.520
So it's the Catholics and the Cathars are mixed up together.
00:37:16.960
The good civilization and the people destroying civilization.
00:37:21.860
And the, I think, true, though it's become legendary line is, kill them all, God will sort it out.
00:37:30.880
And I fear, you know, we're all kind of jumbled up together here.
00:37:35.780
Yeah, I feel like sometimes there has to be a little bit of a mess and then things do sort.
00:37:41.820
Like, you go through a little bit of a family fight for a while.
00:37:45.160
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if you think about, like, the 1970s and there's some periods in our nation's history, who knows,
00:37:53.120
but where things are a little messy and then we eventually kind of come out on the other side.
00:38:04.220
You know, we've got the 167-year, I don't know, how old is the country?
00:38:13.100
Michael Knowles would make it farther as a press secretary than he would in a dance competition,
00:38:19.700
not necessarily because of his quick wit and knowledge of the political process,
00:38:23.700
but rather because he's so used to lying to his producer about when he will arrive to set
00:38:27.660
and because his legs can barely take him up the stairs,
00:38:30.320
much less keep an eight count while holding on to a professional dancer for life.
00:38:35.220
I'm sensing a little tension in these questions.
00:38:37.500
I just, I'm going to, I went yes early because there was a little bit of a tell in that.
00:39:02.180
I don't know if the men's warehouse will take it back.
00:39:05.920
Anyway, the second amendment will be abolished in our lifetime.
00:39:19.420
The court may do something to, to your point, nullify.
00:39:21.760
I don't, I don't think you're going to actually get rid, to over, I mean, I don't, we have such a hard time enacting amendments.
00:39:30.580
I don't, it would be almost impossible to get rid of one.
00:39:33.820
So, you could get a liberal court that could interpret it in such a way that would reverse interpretations of it.
00:39:41.980
Yeah, I could see the sort of, well, the penumbras of the emanations of the penumbras say, you know, they meant a squirt gun or something.
00:39:51.760
The strongest candidate for the Democrats in 2024 would be Michelle Obama.
00:39:55.820
This, of course, could be because of all the lib boxes checked.
00:39:59.340
Michelle never accomplished anything meaningful politically.
00:40:04.180
Would only, was only proud to be an American when they gained power and would, I'm not reading this.
00:40:14.840
See, this is interesting because I don't know enough about, there are a lot of people who share this.
00:40:21.500
Okay, I'm not going to, because I don't want to.
00:40:23.220
There's one, do you know the thing that's written here that I don't read?
00:40:26.460
It says, and would be the first trans woman of color to run for president.
00:40:33.320
But then it says here, due to YouTube rules, make your guess, but do not verbally confirm if the other person guessed correctly.
00:40:54.500
I think that just on the first part of this, Michelle, I've heard enough people on the right, Michelle Obama will never run for president.
00:41:06.340
And I find people on the right who talk about this to just lack an understanding of how, not this is a process, but she's not going to get drafted into doing this.
00:41:24.480
If you've ever seen a presidential race, even somewhat like at a distance, but with any kind of intimacy, you know, it's a brutal, miserable.
00:41:42.880
When people say, I'm trying to talk so-and-so into running, you can't, for any office, class president, you don't talk someone in.
00:41:52.300
People who shame men for being short are nothing more than height supremacists.
00:42:16.440
By the way, Sean, when you said this is a stupid question, we could apply that to the whole game, to every single moment of the game.
00:42:33.500
We've been using a stick that we throw outside.
00:42:39.500
Ron DeSantis will be the Republican nominee in 2024.
00:43:03.020
But I've approached this from a place of logic.
00:43:08.640
And the logic is that every state has a threshold, right?
00:43:12.120
A minimum threshold that you have to get in a caucus and a primary, the minimum has always been 10%.
00:43:22.020
Meaning, so, if you're in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, whatever, if you don't get X percent, and like I said, minimum is usually 10%, then you get no delegates.
00:43:29.400
So, right now, Trump and DeSantis are the only two people who would even qualify under the 2016 rules for any delegates.
00:43:37.120
Trump has been actually going around working the state parties to raise their threshold and do this.
00:43:45.100
He also has two cycles of data on every Republican voter and a ton more fundraising prowess.
00:43:52.540
So, for those reasons, the ability to say, I'm going to run a mile and give you a one-lap head start is just a huge advantage.
00:44:01.960
You know, the only reason I hedged a little bit here and thought you might say yes is just because you know the GOP kind of powers that you've worked around them.
00:44:13.520
And it seemed to me a lot of the established institutional powers on the right have been increasingly pro-DeSantis.
00:44:28.980
I think if DeSantis were to put all of his chips in Iowa or New Hampshire and strike a knockout blow, my knockout blow, I mean, I think if you beat the former president in one of those two states by three, four, five percent, I think that's a very significant hurdle to then overcome if you're Trump.
00:44:50.440
And then it would set off a series of, you know.
00:44:58.380
And that's a big, big, you know, obstacle to overcome.
00:45:11.120
I'm not saying it's – but it is Trump's to lose.
00:45:17.680
I get that I'm the guest, but that was, you know.
00:45:20.920
Roughly 50% of Democratic congressmen are closet communists.
00:45:31.460
McCarthy was talking about the State Department, first of all.
00:45:38.400
Are we going to answer based on – this is a very poorly written question.
00:45:41.960
Are we going to answer based on the congressman or the State Department bureaucracy?
00:45:46.680
I think it's – I think clearly the intent of the question is members of congress.
00:46:16.680
You think I'm going to say they're commies, half of them?
00:46:34.920
I think that under the current math, I probably think a third.
00:46:40.680
I mean, there are like actual avowed socialist people.
00:46:44.720
I just think for most of them, it's not that they're – it's kind of like some people
00:46:51.120
You know, it's like the devil's real, demons are real, but they're not under every single
00:46:59.840
But the Democrats, I think, yeah, some of them are avowed socialists and communists.
00:47:11.840
I do think that more and more each cycle are moving in a way that finds socialism an acceptable
00:47:21.060
And I think part of it is that because you've got so many older members of Congress, there
00:47:25.640
are old school blue blood type Dems, that they're not there yet.
00:47:31.300
But as they're getting replaced with the new younger ones, absolutely.
00:47:34.300
Well, as that moves in that direction, as we move toward this national, I don't know,
00:47:41.800
what is it, separation or these communists sort of taking over, yeah, then we'll look
00:47:46.540
forward to, as that approach is, filling this with something a little bit stronger.
00:48:04.740
We've been very harsh on the producers in this episode.
00:48:11.080
It's the only compliment they're ever getting on this show.
