00:17:08.100We just heard from our man Clay, stuck in a situation at the Chicago airport because of the shutdown.
00:17:20.020And I am sure, you know, whenever you're in a messy airport situation and they're not telling you exactly what it is, that's a bad sign, right?
00:17:30.660Bad enough when they're like, well, we've got some weather coming in, whatever it is.
00:17:34.400When you're just being told, yeah, we don't know, man.
00:18:37.360You've left the Democrat Party because they finally couldn't prop up your boss anymore, whom you, Kareem Jean-Pierre, were lying to the American people about.
00:18:48.520You, Kareem Jean-Pierre, who said that it was a cheap fake when people shared video of the president having cognitive issues.
00:19:15.320But Kamala Harris, she's not just hoping to cash out on a pretty weak book tour and do the speaking circuit for a bit and then get some gig at MSNBC.
00:19:26.840No, Kamala Harris does think that she should have a leadership role in the Democrat Party and a leadership role for the country.
00:19:37.280Kamala Harris wants to be, make no mistake, wants to be president of these United States.
00:20:38.480Well, being a candidate for president of the United States is about being in a marathon at a sprinter's pace, having tomatoes thrown at you every step you take.
00:21:27.640I mean, this is just insulting to the intelligence of everybody's watching.
00:21:31.760Oh, Joe Biden, it's okay for him to be commander in chief.
00:21:35.680It's okay for him to be the one who would be responding to a possible attack on the United States, an act of war, making decisions that affect hundreds of millions of Americans and billions of people around the world.
00:21:54.060That's, he had plenty of, plenty of gas in the tank for that.
00:21:59.240But to show up, remember, he's being ferried by Air Force One.
00:22:03.180I mean, to show up to give some speeches, he took it all the way to June, my friends.
00:22:08.340So we're to believe that his cognitive ability, his mental faculties, weren't strong enough to take the campaign as the nominee from June to November, but they were strong enough for him to be president, president in June, and therefore in 2020, 2025 as well.
00:22:34.520Because, right, what would be the only thing that he wasn't able to do, according to Kamala, who is an absurd person, absurd, Jon Stewart, not the tough case.
00:22:59.240He's going to be fine, then, to be president in January of 25, but it's the whole campaigning thing in between that he can't handle?
00:23:08.880That was the part of it that he wasn't up for?
00:23:11.660And let me remind you, that's an energy issue, not a cognition issue.
00:23:16.880What we saw at the debate with Joe Biden and Donald Trump was somebody who has some stage or some level of dementia, which means that his brain is not functioning.
00:23:31.660His decision-making is not functioning as it should, which we also know because he had outsourced his presidency to the advisers around him.
00:23:41.680All of this adds up, but Kamala's out there trying to say, oh, the problem wasn't Joe Biden's ability to think.
00:23:55.200It was he needed more nap time to get through the campaign.
00:23:58.500You know, it's just not going to work.
00:24:04.520We know the big lies, they all told, and they're trying to, in some way, they're trying to push away that humiliation, that stink of being so utterly mendacious.
00:24:23.580They lied to the American people about it, and one of the big problems they have is the person who should be best positioned to take back leadership for the Democrats,
00:24:33.460the former vice president, the former nominee, Kamala Harris, is completely tainted by her relationship to the lie about Joe Biden.
00:24:46.840And then we get to, well, also, Kamala, why is it that the American people, I mean, you lost every swing state to Trump.
00:25:23.400I mean, if you had done the election after 60 days, I think you win.
00:25:28.640Honestly, there seemed like a stagnation point.
00:25:33.520And then if you look at the lines, it doesn't look like what would have changed.
00:25:39.140Well, but there's so many variables that went into the outcome of that race because you can also look at where you start to see an infusion of resources going into mis- and disinformation.
00:25:51.120I talk about, for example, the Elon Musk factor in the book.
00:25:55.240You can look at that there were certain inflection points that had an impact on the race.
00:26:01.620And to your point, it was, as David Plouffe said, it was those traditional inflection points, and there were others.
00:26:08.520So I don't want to reduce what we need to do going forward to any one factor around what we could have done better, what I could have done better in those 107 days, what was happening before.
00:26:21.700I think there are a multitude of factors that all need to be addressed.
00:26:53.260He was indicted four times by these sham deep state loser prosecutors.
00:26:57.420He survived a bullet through his ear, another assassination attempt, the entirety of the legacy media throwing all of their credibility in one giant bonfire in an effort to stop Trump.
00:27:12.120And she got absolutely crushed by him in this election.
00:27:14.620And she takes, you'll notice, no accountability for it.
00:27:20.460Have you heard her say anything like, you know, I made a mistake?
00:27:24.060I read her book, by the way, which was written for her by other people.
00:27:26.700Have you heard her say that I made a huge error about anything?
00:27:53.680And you were able to ride a wave of DEI in the Democrat Party that was willing to push people to the very heights of power based upon elevated superficial characteristics like gender and skin color or ethnicity.
00:28:13.120And that the American people have decided that we've had enough of that and that we should all, we should just judge people by who they are, man or woman, any race, what are your capabilities, what's your skill set, what do you bring to the table?
00:28:29.740Bringing diversity to the table is not meaningful to people who care about those other things.
00:28:37.300And this is the big change, and this is the world that Kamala does not want to be operating in, I might add.
00:28:44.320One in which you are held accountable and responsible for what you do as a person.
00:28:49.060Your decisions, your abilities, your work ethic.
00:28:53.300Kamala wants to whine about how she's a victim.
00:28:56.460She's the former vice president of the United States, was handed, handed the Democrat nomination, which a lot of Democrats didn't want to do.
00:29:28.420Because she just thinks she's supposed to win for showing up.
00:29:32.160The people in charge are supposed to tell her how great she is and that she now has all this power.
00:29:38.700And this election with Donald Trump, where he crushed her, is a repudiation of the world that she had been living in before, at least in her own mind, and certainly in the state of California, where she just gets to show up and that's enough.

00:32:58.880Because we're going to talk about New York City with a lot of native knowledge of New York, having both lived there, between the two of us for, ah, like 60 years.
00:33:09.780I mean, a very long time between the two of us.
00:33:12.160And yet, some of our New York area listeners will point out we now both live in South Florida.
00:36:24.980I mean, I think if you're trying to pick, I think Upper West Side and Park Slope, probably two of the bluest of all of the five boroughs, right?
00:36:32.840I mean, you're, I would say Park Slope's even bluer.
00:36:38.180But when I moved to Park Slope, from the Upper West Side, actually, what I found was, like, on the Upper West Side, if they want to build a homeless shelter, all the liberal Upper West Siders are like, no, I don't want a homeless shelter on my block.
00:36:51.580They would say, look, obviously we need a homeless shelter, but, you know, we're just worried about the carbon footprint and, like, the transportation issues around it.
00:36:59.300Like, they would completely sandbag the conversation and make it something else entirely.
00:37:05.300So that's the difference, I think, between liberalism and leftism.
00:37:08.240So this is, I want you to take us into the mentality here a little bit, because you lived around this, and you know these people, and you're still in contact with the ultra deep blue elements of New York City.
00:37:19.760The people with, like, you know, $3 million to $6 million townhouses in and around the Park Slope area who were going to vote for Mom Donnie, what the heck is wrong with them?
00:37:33.420Like, explain to me what they are thinking.
00:37:35.980Well, they're the same people who had the defund police signs in their windows in 2020, and that's the kind of thing that pushed us out.
00:37:44.200And these people, yeah, they think that they're socialist warriors, and they think that when they say, eat the rich, they don't mean them somehow.
00:37:53.180You know, so you have, like, Billie Eilish, for example, talking yesterday or two days ago about how billionaires shouldn't exist.
00:38:01.780Who does she think, like, is next after they get rid of the billionaires?
00:38:06.180Yeah, these people don't think it applies to them.
00:38:08.300I think that they are, you know, safely in cons from the surrounding area, and they don't worry about there being no police, for example.
00:38:18.480They think, oh, I'll just get private security if I have to.
00:38:21.220It's another level of just insanity over there.
00:38:25.200Now, another part of this, you're Jewish.
00:38:30.440There are, and, you know, we have all these South Florida Jewish friends in common who are all very sane, sound thinkers about all these things.
00:38:40.320And then I have to sometimes think back to when I lived in New York, and there were some right-wing Jews, who I agree with on all things political.
00:38:48.920And then you have the far-left Jewish contingent, and they're going to be voting for Mom Donnie in substantial numbers.
00:38:58.060All the polling shows you're going to have people who are Jewish, who are self-described Jews in New York, voting for a guy who says,
00:39:05.540when the NYPD has its boot on your neck, the IDF is lacing up the shoes?
00:40:03.340I hope that number continues to climb.
00:40:05.560I hope my neighborhood, not my neighborhood, but my people continue to wake up because Russian Jews have been conservatives all along.
00:40:13.140It's, you know, the American Jews who have been here for 100-plus years, who never had any strife, who don't know what the world is like, those are the people who are on the left.
00:40:21.820And they're breeding themselves out, and the ones that aren't are coming over to the right.
00:40:27.060Speaking of Carol Markowitz, her show is on the Acclaim Buck Podcast Network.
00:40:30.420Go check out the Carol Markowitz Show and also Normally, which she co-hosts with Mary Catherine Ham.
00:49:59.280We've had all the leaders of the airlines have come out and said, you know, without saying, well, it's dangerous, just saying this is affecting the economy.
00:50:09.220We've got the snap benefits ending tomorrow.
00:50:12.360You know, we have the unions have come out and they have also pressured the Democrats to end this thing.
00:50:20.820And they just remain implacable because for them, they're just, they're losing everything.
00:50:28.460They don't have anything really to lose, I guess, because they're so, they've already lost everything.
00:50:34.960And they feel like chaos and disruption is a good thing because it hurts the government.
00:50:42.380It stops the Trump administration from being able to continue on with what they're doing, whether it's deporting illegal migrants or fixing the economy or doing any of the things, unwinding all the other toxic policies of the Biden administration.
00:50:56.940It just puts a spoke in their wheels and it also creates anger among their voters who they can, you know, already have Trump derangement and are willing to believe the worst.
00:51:10.060They just lie and gaslight and tell them, oh, yeah, you know, Donald Trump's fault.
00:51:14.280And so when the snap money runs out tomorrow and the food stamps run out tomorrow, a lot of grocery stores have put security guards around their stores to try and prevent people from coming and just taking the stuff.
00:51:30.000It's really setting up a really nasty situation, very volatile.
00:51:35.180And ultimately, even though the polls are moving against the Democrats, I feel like things are coming to a head and that Trump eventually will be blamed.
00:51:46.580He said today when he gave a little gaggle that he's willing to sit down and negotiate with the Democrats, but they have to open up the country first.
00:52:06.360He's so petrified about the insurgent left on his side of the party, especially in New York, where Zora Mandani is looking like he's going to romp at home.
00:52:18.600The resident Democrat kind of old guard who stuffed everything up until now.
00:52:25.480And, of course, you're going to have young people, young Democrat voters who are rightly angry about the mess the Democrats have made of everything.
00:52:34.240So they're taking things into their own hands.
00:52:36.500It's like a revolution inside the Democrat Party.
00:52:39.900But unfortunately, we're all suffering.
00:52:41.560Miranda, I also want to ask you, just because you have excellent sources in this administration.
00:52:48.400You just sat down with J.D. Vance for your podcast, Pod Force One.
00:52:51.720Everyone should go check out that episode.
00:52:53.220This reporting about strikes inside of Venezuela, what kind of credibility do you put on it?
00:53:02.040What's your sense as to how imminent that may be?
00:53:05.440There's definitely a lot of military resources in the Caribbean now, which is not usually where we think of a major military presence from the U.S. side.
00:53:13.620Yeah, look, I don't have any inside gossip on that.
00:53:20.020I'm a little cautious and a little concerned because, you know, are we being told the whole truth?
00:53:28.780You know, is this really just about stopping drugs from coming into the country?
00:53:33.180Or is it some sort of soft beginning of a regime change in Venezuela?
00:53:38.440If that's the case, we should be told about it up front.
00:53:44.320And, you know, Donald Trump's got a lot on his plate.
00:53:48.120I suppose he'll be focusing on this again.
00:53:50.400But Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, is running that operation along with Pete Hegseth when they're blowing, you know, boats and submarines out of the water.
00:54:00.560I mean, that's all great if they're all drug dealers.
00:54:06.080Well, is it really about stopping the cartels or is there something else?
00:54:11.040If there's something else, great, you know, I'm all for it if it's surgical and contained.
00:54:16.540But I think we need to be told a little more than we are now because it does sort of raise a lot of red flags.
00:54:23.720Now, in your interview with J.D., one thing that I know you talked about was the very widely watched and discussed Oval Office, Zelensky, Trump, J.D., verbal melee, Donnybrook, however everyone wants to say it.
00:54:43.760What did you learn from talking to J.D. about that?
00:54:46.680And how do you think this administration is seeing the Russia-Ukraine issue currently?
00:54:52.340Yeah, well, he was sort of at pains to talk about the fact that that's in the past.
00:55:00.460You know, he said that he, sitting there, he felt that Zelensky had been rude to President Trump.
00:55:06.340And he felt that, you know, he wanted to make the point that if any world leader comes to the Oval Office, they owe the President of the United States an enormous amount of respect.
00:55:16.500And he didn't feel that that was happening.
00:55:18.600But he thinks that the relationship has been reset and that while, if you asked him a couple of months ago, did he think that the prospect of peace was possible, he said he would have said, no, they're just going to keep fighting.
00:56:36.140I wouldn't say that I do or don't believe it.
00:56:38.740I mean, I'm a big believer that there are things out there that we can't explain.
00:56:45.400And so if another person sees an alien, maybe I see an angel or a demon.
00:56:49.280So I'm a big believer that there are, like, spiritual forces working on the physical world that a lot of us don't see and a lot of us don't understand and a lot of us don't appreciate.
00:56:58.960But, you know, is it aliens or is it our guardian angel or is it aliens or is it a not so guardian force that doesn't care about us or, in fact, actively wishes us harm?
00:57:11.820I don't know the answer to that question.
00:57:14.860Interesting, because I had people writing in that they said, well, what did we should play that for us?
00:57:19.080But Miranda, this is a great opportunity.
00:58:07.700You know, that there are things that we cannot explain.
00:58:12.380Again, it's about humility and not being arrogant.
00:58:15.320We can't explain certain things, phenomena in the world around us.
00:58:21.500And so I do believe that there is, you know, whether it's guardian angels or demons or whatever it is, I don't think that we can just assume that everything is just what we see in front of us.
00:58:37.540And so I thought it was interesting in that it went to the heart of his faith, his Catholic faith.
00:59:19.000And he also said that he, you know, because he had been a never Trumper early on and he's changed his mind.
00:59:27.400He said in part he changed because he realized that President Trump was not an interventionist, was not a regime change guy, was against war.
00:59:37.260Well, J.D. served in Iraq, is very against war, but he likes the peace through strength philosophy that President Trump has.
00:59:47.080And he talked about how I said, what have you learned about President Trump that's new and that people might not know?
00:59:53.780And he said, well, he's got a very good heart.
00:59:55.740And he described how they just had him for dinner, him and the first lady for dinner at the vice president's residence, the Naval Observatory, and how they kept the kids upstairs.
01:00:08.300They've got three little kids with the babysitter because, you know, they didn't want them jumping all over the president.
01:00:23.520And he said President Trump just loved it.
01:00:26.860You know, they were he was so kind to them and treated them, you know, like little human beings and that he's very grandfatherly and he's great with kids.
01:00:37.340And also just what we've all observed is his prodigious work ethic.
01:00:42.980And I think the fact that Carolyn Levitt told me this as well, that on these long trips that he does on Air Force One, like when he did that whirlwind Jerusalem, Egypt trip for the peace deal, it was 30 hours in the air there and back.
01:01:01.080And President Trump didn't sleep and everyone else was like going to sleep.
01:01:05.300And J.D. says, you know, he'll he'll come up and sort of prod various members of his cabinet who might be dozing as if they're weak and low energy, you know, because they sleep and he doesn't.
01:01:16.480And and Carolyn told me, like, he goes and it's 1 a.m.
01:01:19.220And he decided he was going to do a press gaggle.
01:01:21.660And she's like, oh, OK, I'll have to go and wake them all up.
01:01:30.280No, the other interesting thing was I met J.D.'s beautiful dog, a German shepherd called Atlas and just sort of an adolescent, about 18 months and very fit, but also incredibly well disciplined, well trained by him.
01:01:47.660And so I sort of made a quip about the Secret Service agents who probably have PTSD from Joe Biden's absolutely feral German shepherd's commander and major who were attacking the agents left front center, drawing blood, biting them, tearing their clothes.
01:02:05.940And and J.D. said yes and laughed and said, yeah, well, a few of the agents have actually expressed gratitude to him that his dog, by contrast, is so well behaved.
