00:00:23.000 So Baconism in the chat said, podcast ends, Tim instantly puts two pounds of biltong in his mouth.
00:00:30.000 Incorrect, sir.
00:00:31.000 It is alpha jerky today.
00:00:33.000 Which is a bit drier, but it's got salt and pepper on it.
00:00:35.000 There is frequently food shoved into mouths in between stuff though.
00:00:40.000 True.
00:00:40.000 It's so good.
00:00:43.000 So how's everyone doing tonight there?
00:00:46.000 On the after.
00:00:46.000 I'll read that.
00:00:47.000 On the after.
00:00:48.000 Looters shoot injured Chicago cop during smash and grab robbery.
00:00:53.000 Post Millennial posted this.
00:00:54.000 How long ago?
00:00:55.000 A little while ago?
00:00:56.000 Listen, the situation in Chicago is not going to change until the people of Chicago change the politicians.
00:01:06.000 And this is something that's going on.
00:01:08.000 Honestly, it's going on nationwide and we talked about it a little bit earlier.
00:01:12.000 We need to have, you need people in society that one, understand how society works and two, care about changing it.
00:01:20.000 But we gotta, we gotta, the perfect person to ask about this, you're a mayor.
00:01:23.000 Yes, fair enough.
00:01:24.000 How would you deal with smash and grab robberies?
00:01:26.000 Oh boy.
00:01:27.000 I tell you, and we've had some of this in my own community, and it's mostly being committed by illegal immigrants.
00:01:34.000 And I actually had a sit down with our Salt Lake City field office, the ICE director, and kind of laid that out.
00:01:41.000 And then also went into all the illegal immigration that we've got.
00:01:44.000 It's affecting everybody.
00:01:47.000 I mean, how you deal with that is, you know, the whole the whole broken window syndrome.
00:01:52.000 You've got to enforce the law.
00:01:54.000 You absolutely have to enforce law.
00:01:56.000 And if if the word gets out that our community didn't, for example, we would just have more crime.
00:02:03.000 So you deal with it by enforcing the law and making sure that you're.
00:02:08.000 You're locking people up.
00:02:09.000 Isn't it crazy that people who come here illegally disproportionately don't have respect for our laws?
00:02:13.000 It's wild.
00:02:14.000 Isn't it funny that when I ask a mayor what's the answer to the crimes, he's like, you enforce the law.
00:02:20.000 It's just like one plus one equals two.
00:02:22.000 If there are people breaking the law, you enforce the law.
00:02:26.000 So many of these cities like Chicago, New York, San Francisco, they're literally not enforcing the law.
00:02:31.000 They're being derelict in their duties.
00:02:32.000 I mean, these elected officials, they're not upholding their oath, their oath of office.
00:02:36.000 I mean, every municipal leader actually has to take that oath.
00:02:40.000 And in the state of Utah, I don't think it's anything that's unique to our state.
00:02:44.000 I mean, everybody has to do that.
00:02:45.000 Yeah.
00:02:46.000 Well, because I have to get up at like 6 a.m.
00:02:50.000 this time around and maybe even earlier than that and just try and get some work done in the morning, we're gonna go straight to our callers right now and just make sure you guys get a chance to ask questions and be a part of the conversation before we go to bed.
00:03:01.000 I'm hoping we can have this wrapped by 1030 so I can immediately go to bed and then wake up super early.
00:03:07.000 Right on.
00:03:08.000 One quick shout out to Top Lobster, by the way, for the t-shirt.
00:03:10.000 I forgot to do that on the show.
00:03:14.000 Let's talk to Scott Watson first.
00:03:16.000 Scott, how you doing, buddy?
00:03:17.000 Hey, good.
00:03:18.000 How you doing?
00:03:19.000 I'm alright.
00:03:21.000 Good.
00:03:21.000 Thanks for taking my call.
00:03:22.000 And Trent, I live in Harriman.
00:03:24.000 I'm a voter in your district.
00:03:26.000 My question's for you, so no pressure.
00:03:29.000 Wow.
00:03:29.000 What specific big change would need to happen with our government in order for voters to finally start seeing some
00:03:36.000 accountability for obvious corruption? I'm talking charges, removal from office, even jail time for these corrupt lefties
00:03:43.000 who abuse their power.
00:03:44.000 Boy, well Scott, great to have you, man.
00:03:49.000 Harriman is right next to Riverton, so that's great.
00:03:53.000 What change would have to happen?
00:03:54.000 Well, I mean, accountability.
00:03:56.000 I think, you know, Seamus, you were referring to it earlier, right, in the segment where you talked about how when there's no, when virtue isn't rewarded, you're saying something to that effect, right?
00:04:04.000 That we live in a society today where virtue isn't really, isn't rewarded, so people are going to continue doing that.
00:04:10.000 And that's exactly the system that we have today.
00:04:12.000 Accountability, that's why people are so, the level of trust in government is at an all-time low, because the accountability factor isn't there.
00:04:22.000 And so, you know, what we have to do is be able, just like we were talking about enforcing the law, we have to be able to hold people accountable.
00:04:30.000 And that, it just isn't happening today, unfortunately.
00:04:38.000 I think that stems from the federal government on down, I think.
00:04:43.000 And more so in the Democrat Party than, I think, in the Republican Party.
00:04:48.000 Because the Republicans are stupid.
00:04:50.000 Because they allow the Democrats to ignore prosecuting people that have broken the law.
00:04:56.000 They allow the Democrats to do all this bad behavior and then when the Republicans are in power, they are just like, well, you know, we're Boy Scouts and everybody wants to be, everybody wants Mitt Romney to be, you know, the guy that's in the hot seat and stuff.
00:05:12.000 If you don't have politicians that will exercise the power that they have, then there's no chance for the party.
00:05:22.000 And when one party is willing to exercise the power and another one isn't, then you get people that respond to the, you know, one party that doesn't exercise or that doesn't, you know, make people accountable and hold people accountable.
00:05:39.000 And then you end up with 2020.
00:05:40.000 You end up with the riots all 2020 that we saw.
00:05:43.000 And then when the Republicans are like, oh, well, we're just going to ignore the law too, you end up with the feds crushing any dissent like the way they are with January 6th.
00:05:54.000 It's part of the reason why I'm so black belt is because there is a clear difference in the way that the law is adjudicated.
00:06:03.000 And everyone's just like, well, you know, it's fine.
00:06:06.000 And I don't see what the answer is.
00:06:10.000 What does accountability mean, though?
00:06:11.000 Right.
00:06:11.000 So I think criminal charges are.
00:06:13.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:06:15.000 There needs to be.
00:06:16.000 And Kash Patel actually talks about this in his book Government Gangsters.
00:06:19.000 Right.
00:06:21.000 We have to be able to get to the root of it.
00:06:23.000 Most of these people involved in these federal agencies, they think that it's there to to support themselves and their own egos and not serving the American public and the FBI.
00:06:33.000 I mean, in some instances, it is I mean, he had many, many things that he proposed there,
00:06:39.000 but some of it is just a complete overhaul.
00:06:41.000 I mean, some of these federal agencies are so, it's so systemic and they're so insidious.
00:06:47.000 I mean, they just need to be basically rooted out.

00:08:11.000 Do you think he meant the jerky or the show?
00:08:12.000 Oh, I thought he meant the jerky.
00:08:14.000 Oh.
00:08:14.000 All right, let's go.
00:08:17.000 Let's get the same order going on here.
00:08:19.000 Joseph Trimmer.
00:08:21.000 This is jerky for alphas.
00:08:23.000 Hello, everybody.
00:08:24.000 Thank you so much.
00:08:26.000 Yes, I'm Joseph Trimmer.
00:08:27.000 I'm a huge fan of the show.
00:08:29.000 I've been listening for a while.
00:08:30.000 I've been an elite member for a couple months.
00:08:34.000 I really appreciate what you guys are doing for this country.
00:08:38.000 So, I wanted to tell you about something that just happened to me this week.
00:08:41.000 It's absolutely nuts.
00:08:43.000 So, about a week and a half ago, I was in Catholic Church praying that somebody would come into my life that would spread the word of what's happening here in San Antonio.
00:08:54.000 We have an illegal migrant camp here in town that receives about a thousand illegal migrants every single day, about one or two buses every single hour, every hour.
00:09:05.000 So, Hernando, or my friend Danny that's been on my podcast, Danny Vargas, pointed out a person, a citizen journalist that was reporting from the camp.
00:09:14.000 I reached out, I confirmed everything that was going on.
00:09:17.000 I went and did some content from the migrant camp.
00:09:21.000 And then he connected me with Ben Bergquam that was coming into town.
00:09:28.000 He was going to go live on Bannon's War Room, and so I was invited on that.
00:09:34.000 When I met Ben at the camp, I saw a police officer and I went up with my cell phone up to his face and asked him, are these police officers on duty or off duty?
00:09:47.000 And he said, I've got no comment.
00:09:50.000 You need to call the public information office.
00:09:52.000 And then he also said, Uh, the police here are under the direction of Catholic Charities on my Twitter, which you can find at JosephTrimmer underscore.
00:10:01.000 You can see the video.
00:10:03.000 I wanted to ask you guys, is that reason enough to sue that the police department in San Antonio is under the direction Catholic Charities, that is a Catholic organization.
00:10:14.000 It's nuts.
00:10:15.000 So that was for the panel.
00:10:17.000 Any help that you guys can give us, any advice, or who should we reach out to?
00:10:22.000 It's unacceptable to have Catholic Charities telling our police department what to do at all, and I'm a Catholic.
00:10:29.000 This is clearly Seamus' fault.
00:10:31.000 This is my fault, and I did tell them to do that, and so I'm sorry.
00:10:34.000 I told the Pope to tell them to do that.
00:10:36.000 No, I mean, excuse me, I hear you, and I just want to make clear, like, Catholics are under no moral obligation to agree with everything that Catholic Charities does.
00:10:46.000 And there, you know, I haven't looked into it too deeply, but I have heard some stories and really just information about Catholic charities and how they have a specific incentive to take migrants in, you know, in a way that I actually don't think is healthy for native citizens of our country.
00:11:07.000 But yeah, if that's true, I certainly, I mean, it's very interesting and disturbing that especially in this instance, because it doesn't have anything to do with like, look, For as much as I'd love to believe now that we have just a based Catholic president, we have a theocracy now where Catholic organizations get to tell the police what to do, but I think the reality is because they are in this instance acting as lackeys for the establishment that wants to import
00:11:35.000 Uh, cheap third world labor and people who will vote for the politicians they want them to vote for and if they're naturalized and made citizens and also people who will sway elections simply by their presence because the places where they live at will end up with more electoral votes.
00:11:47.000 I mean, that's the reason that they're being given the power in this situation if they are.
00:11:53.000 So that's also money.
00:11:55.000 If I may add, we have $5 million in federal funding just for Catholic charities of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
00:12:06.000 Hmm.
00:12:07.000 $5 million.
00:12:07.000 Yeah.
00:12:11.000 Well, God bless you, man.
00:12:12.000 Yeah.
00:12:12.000 Do you guys have thoughts on that?
00:12:15.000 I mean, not particularly.
00:12:17.000 I think that, you know, I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church personally.
00:12:21.000 Leave right now.
00:12:22.000 I'm done talking to you.
00:12:23.000 No offense.
00:12:23.000 It's the, just like I'm not really a fan of most organized religions.
00:12:30.000 And if the, so you're saying the Catholic Church is paying for migrants?
00:12:39.000 It's Catholic Charities, but I think, wait, were you, I think you were saying the government was giving money to Catholic Charities, am I mistaken?
00:12:44.000 That's right.
00:12:44.000 Yeah.
00:12:45.000 Government is giving money to Catholic Charities.
00:12:47.000 Yeah, they're getting money from organizations, like government organizations like FEMA, to address the surge of illegals here in San Antonio.
00:12:57.000 We've got documents showing at least $5 million in funding that we can see.
00:13:02.000 We'd be happy to provide that to you guys if you want to share that.
00:13:06.000 It's kind of an outrage because when we looked at federal law, it says that if you benefit financially from aiding and abetting illegals, then you are guilty of a felony.
00:13:17.000 Yeah.
00:13:17.000 Well, listen, man, and I appreciate you for doing this work and looking out for this.
00:13:22.000 And just in case any part of you has doubts, there is nothing wrong or sinful for you as a Catholic to want to investigate this and make sure that this organization is not doing anything wrong and to assure that they're held to account if they are.
00:13:37.000 And I think it's good that you're doing this work.
00:13:41.000 It's unfortunate that we have some organizations, religious organizations, that That are kind of just, they're looking at certain gospel principles, you know, like love thy neighbor, and that trumps the law for some reason in their minds.
00:13:58.000 And it can't be that way.
00:14:00.000 And even in my state of Utah, you have folks that say, well, we want to be viewed as a welcoming state.
00:14:05.000 I mean, and so they just, they turn a blind eye to what is going on.
00:14:11.000 They don't feel they want to pin all the blame on the federal government.
00:14:13.000 Oh, this is, yeah, absolutely.
00:14:15.000 The Biden administration has completely failed with respect to the border.
00:14:19.000 But states have to be, they've got to be a backstop.
00:14:22.000 They've got to be able to step up.
00:14:23.000 I mean, Texas is, kudos to them, and I know, and Ken Paxton has done a lot.
00:14:28.000 Try and push back on this.
00:14:30.000 Sadly, my state has done very little next to nothing to try to do that.
00:14:34.000 And they continue to give illegals driver's licenses and gutted E-Verify and done many other things that have magnetized so many illegal immigrants.
00:14:42.000 Utah gives illegals driver's license, in-state tuition.
00:14:46.000 I mean, if you go to some heritage foundation, some of these scores, I mean, we're not doing that well.
00:14:50.000 I feel like this argument about love thy neighbor, love thy neighbor, That we hear about these Democrats, these religious folk who are like, oh, you know, this church, and they got the pride flags and all that stuff.
00:15:02.000 That, the support of illegal immigration, it's subversion of what the religion actually is teaching.
00:15:07.000 A good example of this is when liberals always talk about, when it comes to the gun argument, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, et cetera, but they don't point out, and Seamus can give me the proper quote, but sell your cloak, buy a sword.
00:15:19.000 Yeah, yeah, sell your cloak, buy a sword.
00:15:21.000 There's also, this stuff becomes so easily distorted, right?
00:15:25.000 They'll say, love your neighbor.
00:15:26.000 Explain what the Bible, what Jesus said about it.
00:15:30.000 What?
00:15:30.000 Selling your cloak and buying a sword?
00:15:32.000 He said something, yeah, there's a quote in the Bible about if you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one or something like that, right?
00:15:37.000 Yeah, so this is in Luke and there's some debate about this, but I think ultimately the point is that we as Christians are not pacifists and there's plenty of the Bible that makes that clear.
00:15:49.000 What people will often do is they will Take, as you mentioned, a principle of the gospel, or a Christian principle, and they'll try to twist it into something incredibly permissive.
00:15:59.000 Right.
00:16:01.000 Um... Or they misunderstand it.
00:16:02.000 Exactly.
00:16:03.000 And so... Like, uh, the meek shall inherit the earth is one example of that.
00:16:05.000 That is an interesting one.
00:16:07.000 Yeah.
00:16:07.000 Uh, well, that's an interesting one, and I just want to point out here, what's really fascinating to me, though, in a broader point, is that...
00:16:15.000 The same people saying, well the Bible says love your neighbor so we have to do this, will cry violation of separation of church and state anytime any other biblical principles are implemented by the government.
00:16:26.000 So they don't actually mean it.
00:16:27.000 I also just want to mention this from a Catholic perspective, uniquely.
00:16:31.000 The Catechism does say two things specifically that I'm going to reference about immigration.
00:16:36.000 I'm going to paraphrase.
00:16:37.000 It does say that, yeah, people have a right to migrate to seek a better life and that wealthy nations should help people from poorer nations to do that, but that those nations have to take into account and have a responsibility to ensure the living standards for the native population in doing so.
00:16:52.000 They have a responsibility to ensure that the native population is taken care of.
00:16:56.000 You can't just have open borders and flood your country, in other words.
00:16:59.000 Without reference to what the people in your country want or what's good for them.
00:17:03.000 Also, another thing the Catechism says is that immigrants are bound to obey the laws of their host nation.
00:17:10.000 And this is something that is left out all the time in this discourse.
00:17:15.000 Again, the Catholic Catechism says...
00:17:17.000 Immigrants have to obey the laws of their host nation.
00:17:22.000 So, how can Catholic Charities aid and abet people who are violating the law of the host nation simply by entering?
00:17:30.000 Because they're not really Catholic Charities, they are using that as a skin suit.
00:17:34.000 Like we see with the woke taking control of media organizations, etc.
00:17:37.000 I think there's truth.
00:17:38.000 I think Catholic Charities does do some good things in other instances, but on this front, I would agree with you.
00:17:42.000 They're really not living up to the...
00:17:44.000 The teaching.

00:18:09.000 All right.
00:18:11.000 Danny Delete.
00:18:13.000 Hello.
00:18:16.000 Hi.
00:18:16.000 Hello.
00:18:21.000 Sorry, same.
00:18:22.000 Love your guys' show.
00:18:24.000 Love everything about it.
00:18:25.000 And love how much you guys get all the messages out for what's going on.
00:18:30.000 My question for the panel is, did you see the Veeves ranking on Cables as one of the air quotes wokest companies due to their we are bridge?
00:18:42.000 Company initiatives and how de I basically rebranding itself in
00:18:46.000 the new 24 20 24 year, okay So you're saying Campbell's soup
00:18:55.000 Yeah, I'm like it was actually very confusing when I first saw it that's Campbell's soup doing it but yes
00:19:02.000 It is we are bridge all under case calm that is working with Campbell's and many other huge
00:19:10.000 organizations.
00:19:12.000 They're rebranding DEI into Bridge.
00:19:15.000 Interesting.
00:19:16.000 There are definitely efforts to rebrand DEI, and there are people that are focusing on those efforts.
00:19:26.000 People like James Lindsay is pretty abreast of the situation.
00:19:30.000 He is pretty good about spreading that message.
00:19:34.000 But you are right.
00:19:35.000 They're trying to rebrand it.
00:19:37.000 And the idea that this is going to end if one of these programs is ended, the idea that that's a victory is the wrong way to look at it.
00:19:51.000 These initiatives, they're not going to go away because the people that believe in them are ideologically possessed.
00:19:58.000 So they really believe that the world's going to burn up if they don't get the right Uh, policies regarding the environment.
00:20:07.000 They really believe that capitalism is going to devour the whole world and, and all of these different, uh, crazy left wing, uh, ideas.
00:20:18.000 They genuinely believe in.
00:20:19.000 So they're going to pass as many policies as they can, uh, to, to implement these ideas.
00:20:25.000 So, yeah.
00:20:26.000 If DEI does go away, you should be looking for something else that's performing the same function that DEI did.
00:20:35.000 Because that's what they're gonna do.
00:20:36.000 The next move is, because there are people onto the ideas, and they can understand them now, they're going to start morphing what the idea is called, or what the function is called.
00:20:50.000 But it's gonna be the same attempts at the core.
00:20:54.000 Yeah.
00:20:54.000 Just repackage like, like always the same story, just get just a different label, a different character, et cetera.
00:20:59.000 Same thing.
00:21:00.000 That's how it goes.
00:21:03.000 Anything to add?
00:21:04.000 Anything to add about that?
00:21:04.000 Anything to ask beyond?
00:21:08.000 Or just to comment on that?
00:21:09.000 It was just how part of, it was just how part of their newer initiatives were to actually integrate it into pay structure and to make companies do that.
00:21:21.000 So.
00:21:22.000 I'm just glad to be aware of it, so people are aware of it.
00:21:25.000 That's all.
00:21:26.000 Thank you for answering.
00:21:27.000 I agree with you entirely, so they're just gonna change the name of it.
00:21:30.000 Yeah.
00:21:31.000 I appreciate it, man.
00:21:32.000 Thanks for calling in.
00:21:33.000 Thanks for bringing attention to it as well.
00:21:34.000 Yeah.
00:21:35.000 Tell your friends this stuff too.
00:21:36.000 I know it's a pain in the butt, but... Definitely.
00:21:38.000 Better to be open about it and communicate than to not say anything.
00:21:42.000 Christina Passiflong.
00:21:44.000 I recognize your name from the Discord.
00:21:45.000 How are you?
00:21:47.000 What's up, dude?
00:21:48.000 It was nice hearing you talk last night.
00:21:49.000 You are super based.
00:21:51.000 Hey, thanks.
00:21:53.000 Appreciate it.
00:21:55.000 Okay, so question for the panel.
00:21:57.000 Is the public too desensitized to the Epstein case for anything to ever happen to the people involved?
00:22:02.000 It seems like people either want to avoid talking about this topic entirely, or it's a joke or a conspiracy to them.
00:22:07.000 What do you think needs to happen for enough people to take this seriously and do something about it, and what would that something be?
00:22:13.000 I think, you know, the big picture stories we care about indicate something about you and your worldview.
00:22:22.000 The average person only cares about what affects their immediate circle.
00:22:25.000 So when we notice that there are high-level, you know, politicians and business individuals who are trafficking kids, the average person won't care because it has no impact on them whatsoever.
00:22:36.000 What needs to happen to make someone actually care?
00:22:39.000 Someone needs to break into their house and steal from them.
00:22:42.000 And then they'll say, hey, why was I robbed?
00:22:43.000 Why are my gas prices so high?
00:22:45.000 Why is milk so expensive?
00:22:47.000 Then you can say, it's because they were powerful, you know, elites in business that are fucking you over.
00:22:52.000 And then they get pissed about it.
00:22:53.000 But if they're not affected by it...
00:22:55.000 You know, I think for you, for us, for everybody who watches this show, we care more about what may be coming, which will impact us if we don't pay attention now.
00:23:06.000 We care about preparing for the future.
00:23:09.000 And the average person only cares about their immediate and short-term desires, unfortunately.
00:23:15.000 Yeah, I mean, it's a good question.
00:23:18.000 Are people too desensitized?
00:23:20.000 On some level, you think.
00:23:23.000 Clearly, right?
00:23:24.000 Maybe they're not too desensitized for there to be a political solution here, or for the justice system to do something, or for people to put pressure on the justice system to do something, but they're certainly too desensitized.
00:23:35.000 The fact that we knew this was happening...
00:23:38.000 The fact that the public found out about it, the fact that it's really clear that this guy didn't kill himself, and we're all told to believe that he did, and everything's just sort of continued, business as normal, is an indication that people are pretty desensitized to this.
00:23:51.000 You know, the idea that every... this should be a scandal so massive.
00:23:56.000 That, at the very least, the least drastic solution is everyone getting voted out of office, who even had a slight tinge of any kind of association with him.
00:24:07.000 And yet, that didn't happen.
00:24:09.000 That didn't happen.
00:24:10.000 I mean, imagine just...
00:24:12.000 If instead of Jeffrey Epstein, right, it was like, and I'm not the first to make this point, but if it was like an avowed racist, if it was a Klansman or something, I mean, everyone associated with them, we'd know all of their names, none of them would be able to hold public office anymore, their lives would be completely destroyed.
00:24:27.000 So, why have we tolerated this for so long?
00:24:29.000 Why have we tolerated the abuse of children at the hands of our political leaders for so long?
00:24:36.000 Uh, I think that because it's because people don't, uh, things that don't directly affect people, they, they kind of actually don't really care about, they say they do.
00:24:46.000 Um, but they don't, especially when they're told not to, or not told that they should, or the wrong people are telling them that they should.
00:24:54.000 I just saw a, a, a thing today.
00:24:57.000 I think it was an Apple news.
00:25:00.000 Um.
00:25:01.000 And they were saying why the far right is obsessed with the Epstein list and with sex trafficking.
00:25:11.000 Somebody has to be because none of you are doing anything about it!
00:25:13.000 Yeah and the idea that the media is painting the people that are first of all saying look there are people breaking the law that's a problem they're victimizing the most vulnerable people in America, young kids, and the problem
00:25:35.000 according to the media is that people, the wrong people are noticing is
00:25:39.000 essentially what it is.
00:25:40.000 It's because it is a an issue that the right is noticing and it seems people
00:25:49.000 that are favored by the left have been engaging in it so the media goes and
00:25:52.000 runs interference.
00:25:54.000 And that interference is all it takes to make normally intelligent people absolutely idiotic.
00:26:02.000 Just completely and totally lose any semblance of cognitive ability to think for themselves.
00:26:09.000 And that's when, that's why people don't care that, you know, it's clear that Epstein was trafficking kids and people in positions of power that currently are walking free and they don't care.
00:26:18.000 Yeah, people are burnt out in general, honestly.
00:26:20.000 Do you remember?
00:26:21.000 I gotta go night-night.
00:26:22.000 Yes, yes.
00:26:22.000 I gotta crash too, honestly.
00:26:24.000 I'm gonna wake up at 6 a.m.
00:26:25.000 and try and record, here's my plan, I'll try to record a couple segments at 6 a.m., catch this flight, we'll land probably around 1 p.m.
00:26:34.000 Eastern, And then I should have time to record my later segments, which is just work, work, work, work, work, work, but time for bed.
00:26:41.000 Alright, Christina, thank you very much.
00:26:42.000 Thank you!
00:26:44.000 Thanks, guys.
00:26:45.000 Safe travels.

00:26:59.000 And so the idea that we get to host a counter-programming to CNN with a town hall with a presidential candidate is a dream come true.

00:27:07.000 It's amazing.
00:27:08.000 It's all possible thanks to you guys.
