We have an agreement, a deal, a peace deal. Not the Iran war. 10 00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:11,180 Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. 11 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:13,380 That's who I'm talking about. 12 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,560 Man, 13 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,680 were you reading about this for like a year? All this arguing and suing, and 14 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,360 then it turns out no settlement money at all. 15 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,020 Just over a movie called It Ends With Us that everybody hated. 16 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,900 Did you see that movie? 17 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080 It was harder to get through than the Strait of Hormuz. 18 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,780 Oh, yes. 19 00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:47,500 Okay. Well, the war. Okay. So we are officially ended with Operation Epic 20 00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:51,580 and now we have moved on to Project Freedom, which is also over. 21 00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:54,140 Really? 22 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:55,700 No, I'm not kidding. 23 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,060 That was... Project Freedom. That was our attempt to escort the ship. 24 00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:05,910 through the Strait of Hormuz, where there are now 1 ,800 ships stuck. 25 00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:09,889 Last person who needed this many escorts was Hunter Biden. 26 00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:19,710 But Iran, yeah, they are blocking 27 00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:23,830 the Strait, and they say they're going to collect tolls now of all the ships, 28 00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:25,330 and Trump is furious. 29 00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:28,070 Furious that he didn't think of it first. 30 00:02:33,550 --> 00:02:37,150 It's a game of chicken, and Trump said he wants the Iranians to know America 31 00:02:37,150 --> 00:02:38,650 does not blink. 32 00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:43,250 Lose interest and wander away? Yes. We should have all the time, but we don't 33 00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:44,250 have it. 34 00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:45,670 But we kind of have to. 35 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:52,110 We kind of have to, because we've apparently used up all our missiles. 36 00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:57,070 Yeah, not all, but our stockpile is greatly depleted. 37 00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:59,090 This is so ridiculous. 38 00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:05,180 America, the most... strapped country in the world ran out of bombs. It's like 39 00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:10,560 Diddy running out of baby oil. I mean... And... 40 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,320 But let's not be gloomy. It's Mother's Day 41 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,100 on Sunday. Do you have mothers? 42 00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:22,440 I had one. It's very common. 43 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,540 And, of course, there's a baby boom over at the White House. You know this. The 44 00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:29,500 administration, a lot of people having babies over there. And for the press 45 00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,500 folks, you've seen her, Carolyn Leavitt. 46 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:35,580 Yes, she just, what timing, she just had a baby. And they asked her, you know, 47 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,760 are you excited to be a mom again? And she said, what a stupid question. Do 48 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,760 research. 49 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,800 Of course I'm excited to be a mom. 50 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Now, listen. 51 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,920 If you are old enough to be watching this show, you were born when your 52 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,900 could have an abortion. She had the right to have an abortion. 53 00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:00,120 And that is not the case anymore, really, in a lot of this country. 54 00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:04,460 So maybe when you write a card this year, say, thanks, Mom, you could have 55 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:05,480 killed me and you didn't. 56 00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:15,700 Oh, and... Speaking of killing, apparently they 57 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:17,800 found Jeffrey Epstein's suicide note. 58 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Yeah, apparently it was from the guy, his cellmate, who Epstein says tried to 59 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,759 kill him. 60 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,100 But he's the guy who found the note. 61 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:33,020 And it says, they investigated me, and then in all caps it says, found nothing, 62 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,500 three explanation points. 63 00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:37,140 What does that sound like? 64 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,120 I can't quite place it. 65 00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:41,980 No, 66 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,100 I'm not deficient. 67 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,300 I'm not suspicious, but the note does end by saying, thank you for your 68 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:50,460 attention to this matter. 69 00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:57,620 Okay. 70 00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:00,880 Good news for Gen Z. 71 00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:02,980 We may be wearing masks again. 72 00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:09,620 Well, because you heard about the cruise ship? There's a cruise ship out there 73 00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:10,620 that has hantavirus. 74 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,660 Ooh, probably this is nasty. Three people have died. Hantavirus. 75 00:05:14,350 --> 00:05:19,070 And the first report said there was a flight attendant who got it from the 76 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:23,370 passenger. Boy, suddenly spirit doesn't sound that bad, does it? 77 00:05:24,410 --> 00:05:25,410 But, no. 78 00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:34,170 But, no. The flight attendant tested negative, which is good news, because it 79 00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:38,410 would be ironic if the flight attendant had hantavirus and the cure was peanuts. 80 00:05:39,010 --> 00:05:40,010 All right. 81 00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:41,390 We've got a great show. 82 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:46,370 Representative Dan Crenshaw and Donna Brazile are here. But first up, he is a 83 00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:50,030 Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, and he is my friend, Senator John 84 00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:51,570 Fetterman is over here. 85 00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:54,550 John? 86 00:05:56,810 --> 00:05:58,790 Hi, how are you? Good to see you again. 87 00:05:59,090 --> 00:06:00,090 All right. 88 00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:10,440 John, you're wearing your good black. Did you have a speech on the Senate 89 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,480 floor or something where you had to look your best? 90 00:06:16,780 --> 00:06:20,740 No, I like your outfit. I do. 91 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,480 So I read your op -ed today, I think it was, in the Washington Post. 92 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,500 And it's interesting because we often find ourselves sort of in the same place 93 00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:33,680 politically, I think. 94 00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:39,460 Exactly, yeah, where when your values haven't changed, but the party really 95 00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:41,580 changed and it's kind of put you at odds. 96 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,500 Yeah, you use the term increasingly lonely. You said you feel increasingly 97 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:51,400 lonely as a Democrat. Do you want to unburden yourself and tell us about 98 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,640 Yeah, well, I mean, some people think it's like a glamorous life, and it is 99 00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:59,760 at least for me. You know, we have... Plainly. 100 00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:03,140 No, 101 00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:04,980 I mean... 102 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,780 I mean, from a lonely perspective, you know, things that used to be part of our 103 00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:15,300 values here as a party that they're shifted now, whether it's like 104 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:20,620 Israel and the Jewish community and now also the border security. 105 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,560 And then also recently, the two longest shutdowns in history. And I've, 106 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,360 you know, had to vote against. 107 00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:34,040 The caucus, I don't enjoy that. But we used to be the party that would always 108 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,860 refuse to shut the government down. 109 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,700 And now we now have shut it down and dropped a lot of mass chaos. And I just 110 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:42,700 couldn't be a part of that. 111 00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:48,220 Yeah, I think we get the same charge levied against us that we're picking 112 00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:49,220 with the left. 113 00:07:49,340 --> 00:07:52,080 We're not picking fights. We're just not avoiding them. 114 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:58,040 I mean, you used the term an orgy of socialism recently. You said that's what 115 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,100 you see in the Democratic Party. I do, too. 116 00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:06,280 Yeah, well, I mean, you have whether it's like the mayor in Seattle. I mean, 117 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:12,440 she's absolutely a socialist in New York and a lot of these candidates across 118 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,440 the country. 119 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:18,460 And that's really moving towards that. And people that are proud to be labeled 120 00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:22,580 as a socialist, that used to be like was a smear when I was running my first 121 00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:25,160 cycle. And now that's becoming more normalized. 122 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,660 And now I think that's a very dangerous, slippery slope for us to be. 123 00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:34,730 And now I've spoke to people that had to live under socialism and or communism. 124 00:08:35,169 --> 00:08:40,510 And they are like they are morons if they think that socialism is the answer. 125 00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:45,210 You know, I've lived under that. And thank God we are now. We already have a 126 00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:46,250 great deal of socialism. 127 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:49,450 And I've made the point a million times on the show, as we should. 128 00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:54,550 All Western democracies are quasi -socialist. There are certain things 129 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:55,550 government should do. 130 00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:59,150 You don't want the private enterprise to be controlling the Marine Corps. 131 00:09:00,310 --> 00:09:02,190 Social Security, Medicare, 132 00:09:02,970 --> 00:09:05,750 Medicaid, obviously these things. We have socialism. 133 00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:10,450 They're just proposing something way more than that. And by the way, you said 134 00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:11,950 socialism, dirty word? 135 00:09:12,410 --> 00:09:13,430 Yes and no. 136 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:17,030 What really was a dirty word, which isn't anymore, is communism. 137 00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:23,220 I mean, this woman in New York who is Mayor Mondami's right -hand woman, she 138 00:09:23,220 --> 00:09:26,200 tweets out, elect more communists. 139 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:30,000 This guy, Graham Plattner? 140 00:09:31,609 --> 00:09:35,910 Yeah, it's not a slur if I refer to him as a communist. 141 00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:38,250 That's his own term that he used for himself. 142 00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:41,930 Yes. Antifa and these other kinds of extreme things. 143 00:09:42,130 --> 00:09:46,970 Now, that's his own words. That's not my view, and I'm not using that as a slur. 144 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:53,690 But the idea that communist is not a dirty word, I think we need to pause 145 00:09:53,690 --> 00:09:58,070 and say, okay, this is a watermark. This is a watershed mark. 146 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,140 a moment in American history where we could pay attention. 147 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,420 And my guess is, because AI is going to be taking everybody's jobs, 148 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,400 communism is only going to get more popular. 149 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,980 Well, I sure hope not. 150 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,480 Because, you know, like, if our party, it's like that, it's that expression, 151 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,550 know. Bad ideas refuse to die. And now that's coming back. And a lot of this, 152 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:27,950 the Trump and the backlash is making more and more things possible in the 153 00:10:27,950 --> 00:10:28,949 Democratic Party. 154 00:10:28,950 --> 00:10:33,190 And I'm going to consistently going to resist that kinds of extremes and those 155 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:34,950 extremes that cost us in 2024. 156 00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:40,270 We all have to remember that we need to have an election against both sides. 157 00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:46,150 We're accountable for both sides and these and these kinds of states that 158 00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:48,090 depend to deliver. 159 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,700 for the presidency, and that's why I refuse to be engaged. 160 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,200 I know how to pay the bills as a Democrat right now, and my colleagues 161 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,120 people that are running, whether for the Senate or the House, they are literally 162 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,920 running on fuck Trump. 163 00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:06,980 I mean, that's literally, they have campaign commercials. 164 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,880 that and it's it's it's absurd and we are getting to that point and i refuse 165 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:19,540 engage in that extreme uh those terms and we have to find a better way forward 166 00:11:19,540 --> 00:11:26,320 and now i've been punished to try to find value in certain views now like 167 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,180 ballroom you know we've talked about that i don't care about the ballroom i 168 00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:33,580 don't either yeah i mean it's like so stupid it's such a rorschach test of 169 00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:38,110 whether you just hate yeah because first of all like we saw with the 170 00:11:38,110 --> 00:11:43,350 assassination attempt a couple of weeks ago, America probably does need... You 171 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:46,610 know what the problem is? I said it to you today on the podcast, which I think 172 00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:47,610 is on next week. 173 00:11:47,950 --> 00:11:48,950 It's the word. 174 00:11:49,130 --> 00:11:51,030 Ballroom. It sounds good. 175 00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:54,150 Ballroom. Sounds like, you know, fops are pirouetting around. 176 00:11:54,470 --> 00:12:00,530 And if they called it the State Dinner National Center, it would be different. 177 00:12:00,710 --> 00:12:05,550 But this is America. And we don't want people sitting in tents to have dinner. 178 00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:12,270 mean, it's just... I mean, you know, I was two tables away at the White... The 179 00:12:12,270 --> 00:12:15,890 White House Correspondents' Dinner. I've witnessed this. From the killing? 180 00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:17,810 Yeah. From the attempt, you mean? 181 00:12:18,010 --> 00:12:23,790 Yeah. And that's, I had to see that I'm like the entire line of succession was 182 00:12:23,790 --> 00:12:27,770 right there and realized that we've put, there's real danger there. We got 183 00:12:27,770 --> 00:12:31,750 really lucky there for a lot of reasons. So now we need to have a more secure, 184 00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:37,070 more secure to do these kinds of events. But I don't care about, you know, just 185 00:12:37,070 --> 00:12:40,390 build it. I mean, he won't even be president if it's even finished. 186 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:44,890 Yeah. I mean, concentrate on the big things, the things that really matter. 187 00:12:44,910 --> 00:12:49,890 Exactly. Trying to say here. So there's no there's no truth, right, that you're 188 00:12:49,890 --> 00:12:53,630 actually going to switch parties. I know Trump has offered you. I mean, you said 189 00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:55,310 I would be a shitty Republican. 190 00:12:56,390 --> 00:12:57,390 Yeah. Yeah. 191 00:12:57,430 --> 00:13:03,510 And, you know, if I if I ever decide to change and I won't, I'll be, you know, 192 00:13:03,510 --> 00:13:05,090 have me on and I will announce that. 193 00:13:05,570 --> 00:13:10,110 But it's not going to it's like, you know, I'm a committed Democrat, even 194 00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:15,310 though. No, if I vote 93 percent of the time with the Democrats, I thought we 195 00:13:15,310 --> 00:13:20,130 were supposed to be a big tent party. So that's I'm not really sure how I become 196 00:13:20,130 --> 00:13:24,770 an issue for any of the Democrats just to having some different views in these 197 00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,770 other issues. You said before. 198 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:36,140 You're pro -choice, you're pro -weed, you're pro -gay rights, you're pro 199 00:13:36,820 --> 00:13:41,000 You also throw in there, I'm pro -rib eye and not bio -slop. I don't know why 200 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,060 that has to go in there. 201 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:49,240 That sounds like a great Republican to me. But what is your thing with, look, 202 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120 and by the way, I don't eat fake meat either. 203 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,240 I mean, my friends at PETA would love it if I did. But, look, I mean, the 204 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,540 science is the science. I don't think that stuff is really better for you than 205 00:13:59,540 --> 00:14:02,820 organic real meat. I mean, it's certainly not better for the animal at 206 00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:03,820 killed. 207 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,700 as far as the science goes, but you actually want to bend. 208 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,620 That doesn't seem... Yeah, I just think, I mean, as I'm a member of the 209 00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:18,180 Agriculture Committee, and I really stand with our farmers now. And now, of 210 00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:22,480 course, we don't want, like, the factory farm situation, absolutely opposed to 211 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,980 aminal cruelty. 212 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,200 But for me, if I lived on Mars, yeah, you know, those kinds of... 213 00:14:31,630 --> 00:14:36,110 What's the lab meat would be a great opportunity. But for me right now, like 214 00:14:36,110 --> 00:14:40,290 it's... But you want to ban it? I mean, shouldn't people have the right to eat 215 00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:47,270 it? It's like actively. I mean, if people have a chance to... But 216 00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:53,190 overall, for me, I think, you know, someone that's really... I mean, we are 217 00:14:53,190 --> 00:14:59,270 just... I thought, you know, the really highly, highly processed food. I mean, 218 00:14:59,270 --> 00:15:00,690 that's exactly the essence of that. 219 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,100 Yeah, but there's a lot worse highly processed food. I mean, I could go into 220 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:08,280 supermarket and pick up... Well, we don't want to ban all of that. People 221 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,760 the right to eat what they want, don't they? I mean, don't tell the population 222 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,600 of America that they can't eat what they want. 223 00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:16,480 Do you think they're up in arms about shit now? 224 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,280 You'll really have a riot on your head. 225 00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:24,080 Overall, it's not a top priority for me, given everything else that's happening 226 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,240 right now. So overall, as someone that is a committed Democrat, I find myself 227 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,640 isolated by my party as things continue. 228 00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:36,560 I'm going to just have play, you know, ball strikes and just. 229 00:15:36,780 --> 00:15:42,200 Yeah. OK, well, you know, I'm your fan because the Democratic Party certainly 230 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,760 needs someone to keep them honest. 231 00:15:44,020 --> 00:15:45,820 And it's the band in the shorts. 232 00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,100 Thank you. 233 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,140 All right, John Fetterman, he's going to tower over me now. 234 00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:55,120 All right, let's meet our panel. 235 00:15:55,380 --> 00:15:56,380 Thank you, John. 236 00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:02,780 Hello. Hello, Barbara. 237 00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:06,980 How are you? All right, he is a Republican congressman for a couple more 238 00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:10,720 from Texas, author of the best -selling book Fortitude, and host of the podcast 239 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,760 Hold These Truths with Dan Crenshaw, Representative Dan Crenshaw. 240 00:16:17,130 --> 00:16:22,390 And to the veteran political strategist, ABC News, and former DNC chair, Donna 241 00:16:22,390 --> 00:16:23,930 Brazile is over here. 242 00:16:25,190 --> 00:16:26,190 All right. 243 00:16:28,630 --> 00:16:29,630 Okay. 244 00:16:31,330 --> 00:16:37,030 So the midterm elections are about six months away, and it usually happens this 245 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:41,230 party out of power does well in the midterm elections. And the party in 246 00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:43,530 right now is historically unpopular. 247 00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:48,300 Mostly because of what I call the three I's. That would be ice, Iran, and 248 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:49,299 inflation. 249 00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:53,800 And it seemed only a few weeks ago, maybe months ago, that it would be 250 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360 impossible for the Democrats to lose this election. 251 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,880 No way. 252 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,960 Well, headline today, way. 253 00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:02,380 There is a way. 254 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,220 And it's because of what they do when they don't win, they cheat. 255 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,200 So this is the big story today, gerrymandering. This has gone nuclear. 256 00:17:11,740 --> 00:17:15,880 And Republicans are winning the gerrymander war. We talked about it last 257 00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,200 but a lot has changed since then. As you know, it started with Texas, your 258 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,359 state. Trump said, gerrymander Texas. 259 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,140 Okay, so they got like four or five new seats in Texas. 260 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,140 California responded and said, okay, we're going to do the same thing. All 261 00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:32,380 right, so now this is a terrible road to go down, but at least we're even. 262 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Okay, now the Supreme Court ruled last week on the Voting Rights Act. 263 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,440 is different now. Eight states have new maps now. 264 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,260 And five more are planning to. 265 00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:45,520 Texas, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina. 266 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,280 They're all now more Republican. 267 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,740 These states that had districts that minorities were electing candidates 268 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,780 Virginia did it on the Democratic side. And the Supreme Court in the state said 269 00:17:58,780 --> 00:17:59,780 they can't. 270 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,980 So that's a big loss for the Democrats. 271 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,980 They're not going to get that to even the score. 272 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:05,400 And Tennessee now. 273 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,740 Show them up at the Tennessee. 274 00:18:07,940 --> 00:18:09,760 This is really what's going on here. Look at this. 275 00:18:10,330 --> 00:18:15,110 They've taken Memphis, a majority black city, and they moved it into three 276 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:17,050 different districts to dilute the vote. 277 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:22,290 Now, I'm going to turn this over to the former chair of the DNC for your 278 00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:26,050 commentary, because I'm sure you have a lot to say. Well, first of all, it's 279 00:18:26,050 --> 00:18:29,070 always a great honor to be back here in California with Bill, and 280 00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:31,210 congratulations on your Mark Twain Award. 281 00:18:31,530 --> 00:18:32,530 Oh, thanks a lot. 282 00:18:35,690 --> 00:18:41,730 I mean, you know, Bill, I can't keep up with you, baby. Every time I... I 283 00:18:41,730 --> 00:18:46,910 go for months, Congressman, without seeing this man, and he makes all kinds 284 00:18:46,910 --> 00:18:48,950 trouble. I have to come back in and clean up your shit. 285 00:18:49,550 --> 00:18:55,570 I mean... Talk about a 286 00:18:55,570 --> 00:18:58,670 desperate housewife. Come on, baby. 287 00:18:58,890 --> 00:19:01,370 Please don't step up. But let me just say this, Bill. 288 00:19:02,430 --> 00:19:03,470 Let me just say this. 289 00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:09,780 The rumors that the Democratic Party is dead, those rumors are as old as 290 00:19:09,780 --> 00:19:14,000 Methuselah. We have about 179 days. It's going to be a tough election, no 291 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,480 question about it. But you know what? 292 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,740 We have a small tailwind. No, I do not like what's going on with redistricting. 293 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,800 You know why, Bill? 294 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,960 I've come from one of those states that all of a sudden the Supreme Court said, 295 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:29,320 well, we don't like. 296 00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:34,120 Partisan gerrymandering. No, we don't like racial gerrymandering. So one out 297 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:38,480 three voters in Louisiana is a black voter. One out of three. And they're now 298 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,500 thinking of eradicating. 299 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:45,920 So that's as if people from some parts of Louisiana can represent New Orleans 300 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,060 better than the folks who represent all Baton Rouge. It's wrong, it's immoral, 301 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,160 and it's unjustified. Bill, let me just say this. 302 00:19:59,350 --> 00:20:03,970 And I saw what the congressman tweeted today after Tim Kaine. 303 00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,890 But here's it. I'm old enough to know this. Well, what did he tweet? I don't 304 00:20:07,890 --> 00:20:11,730 know. Well, he's going to have – I'm going to – Tim Kaine is wrong. Well, 305 00:20:11,730 --> 00:20:13,670 wrong. No, he's not. He's not usual. 306 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:19,010 He's saying, well, the Constitution is – they made it based on Constitution. 307 00:20:19,090 --> 00:20:23,050 They made it based on – they said, well, the voters were already voting when the 308 00:20:23,050 --> 00:20:27,080 state – put this law into place so that the voters can decide. The voters 309 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,140 decided in, as you all know, California. The voters decided in Virginia. 310 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,800 Politicians did not choose their voters. But I have one broad question. Well, 311 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,779 they've done it forever. 312 00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:38,780 What? 313 00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:40,200 Don't I know that, Bill? 314 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,720 The Constitution. 315 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,500 1787. Wait a minute. 316 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,040 1787. 317 00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:49,180 1787. I'm going to give you my film camera. 318 00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:50,900 1787, the Constitution. 319 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,320 When did my family get the right to vote, Bill? 320 00:20:55,139 --> 00:21:00,500 1965. 61 years ago. So my daddy served in war and could not vote for that. My 321 00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,320 grandparent, my grandmother was 77 when she got the right to vote. Yeah, I'm on 322 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,800 your side. So we understand. 323 00:21:06,220 --> 00:21:08,080 Are you on my side? Yeah, of course. I didn't know. 324 00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:11,480 If you're on the side of the Constitution, you're on the side of 325 00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:16,460 So, Congressman, I will let you describe why you went into Tim Kaine's ass 326 00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:17,460 today. 327 00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:27,250 You know, praising. 328 00:21:28,490 --> 00:21:30,170 He's the last act I would go into. 329 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:33,630 Okay. 330 00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:39,170 Cade was making the case that the Supreme Court doesn't know what it's 331 00:21:39,170 --> 00:21:43,850 about and that they're misreading it. I pointed out that he should. I know 332 00:21:43,850 --> 00:21:47,190 reading is time -consuming, but you might read the actual. 333 00:21:48,190 --> 00:21:51,190 case that the Supreme Court wrote. It's very well written. It's very logically 334 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:53,710 written. It's pretty irrefutable. I mean, it was a 10 to 1 vote. 335 00:21:54,050 --> 00:21:58,730 They're making the case that the constitutional amendment was in itself 336 00:21:58,730 --> 00:22:02,310 unconstitutional because of the process they followed. That's what the Supreme 337 00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:03,249 Court argued. 338 00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:06,870 It was not about the ability to politically gerrymander. I'll start with 339 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:08,270 one principle, just taking a step back here. 340 00:22:08,590 --> 00:22:12,810 Your state can do political redistricting. 341 00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:16,170 That's how our federal constitution is written. 342 00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:20,550 If we'd like a better system and we're smarter than the founders, then we can 343 00:22:20,550 --> 00:22:22,930 figure out a better way to do that. But it's inherently political. 344 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:26,650 Every state has a different way of doing it. Some have independent commissions 345 00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:31,110 or bipartisan commissions. Even those are chosen in a political way, a 346 00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:33,950 process. It will always be political, so just get used to it. Okay. But second, 347 00:22:34,610 --> 00:22:37,550 one more thing to point out. To say we're winning. 348 00:22:38,060 --> 00:22:39,840 Republicans are winning the redistricting war. 349 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,120 I think we're catching up. And if I can point to the facts on, look, if you go 350 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:45,820 to Illinois, you've got a 14 to 3 ratio. 351 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,640 Washington, you've got a 10 to 2 ratio. 352 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,280 New England has like a 21 to 0 ratio. 353 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,560 California, out of 52 representatives, they're going to have maybe five, six 354 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,560 Republicans. 355 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,000 You know, in Texas, we're 30 to 10. Florida is now going to be 20 to 7. 356 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,360 Democrats have been winning this battle for a long time. 357 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,700 I'm not sure about that. North Carolina. 358 00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:09,919 10 -4. 359 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,780 10 Republicans, 4 Democrats. 360 00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:18,480 Ohio, 10 Republicans, 5 Democrats. Texas, 25 Republicans, 13. In a state 361 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:24,220 majority -minority. Let me just show you. Why does skin color automatically 362 00:23:24,220 --> 00:23:26,480 impose political belief? 363 00:23:26,860 --> 00:23:32,670 Because... Race has always been identified as a political consideration, 364 00:23:32,670 --> 00:23:36,510 only as it relates to the Constitution of the United States, but also how it is 365 00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:41,070 implemented at the state level. That's why these districts were always drawn, 366 00:23:41,070 --> 00:23:43,190 that they took race into consideration. 367 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:44,550 So that's my point. 368 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,860 I guess the history of the United States. Well, it's a history, but as we 369 00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:57,720 out of that history, which I hope we would have by now, an enlightened 370 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,000 would not say that your skin color is an immutable characteristic as an 371 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,620 indicator of your political position. 372 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,040 To me, this is always the problem with the Supreme Court. They don't really 373 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,680 into account practical effect. 374 00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:09,840 Remember the Citizens United ruling? 375 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,180 about as much dark money as you want in politics, and Obama was at the State of 376 00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:18,000 the Union, and he said, this is going to change everything in Alito mouth. 377 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,179 No. 378 00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:23,840 Yes. Yes. Yes, it did. They don't take this into account. 379 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,780 As I said last week, I guess you didn't watch the show. They're not supposed to. 380 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,840 They're literally not supposed to take that into account. I know, but I said, 381 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,320 we're not living in the future. 382 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,760 It would be nice if that was where. And we are way, way different than we were 383 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,480 20 years ago, 50 years ago. The world is very different. And I've certainly 384 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,340 taken my shit from the left for pointing out constantly that they are hyper 385 00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:51,080 -focused on race. And when they say things like, racism has never been 386 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,780 you're just ridiculous. But we are also not living in the future. 387 00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:58,480 Show this map, please. This is what the map could look like in the South. 388 00:24:58,780 --> 00:25:02,760 of what it used to look like. See those blue? Those are blue districts. 389 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,620 This is what it's going to look like now. 390 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,340 There are districts that have been carved out so that minorities are 391 00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:12,340 represented, for sure. That is racial gerrymandering. 392 00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:15,480 It has to happen until we are living in the present. 393 00:25:15,870 --> 00:25:20,810 in the future, and we're not. And if you think that you're going to take away 394 00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:25,110 all these black representatives in the United States Congress without 395 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:29,890 repercussions, I mean, you take away that many and have them, black people 396 00:25:29,890 --> 00:25:35,210 scant representation in Congress, this is not going to stay. The new governor 397 00:25:35,210 --> 00:25:36,590 Florida is likely going to be black. 398 00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:43,710 White Republicans are voting him in. First of all, let me just say this. 399 00:25:45,070 --> 00:25:50,250 For most of my childhood, I was represented by a white female, Lindy 400 00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:51,870 was outstanding, amazing. 401 00:25:52,290 --> 00:25:57,190 And when the moment came in history that she said, you know, I have served my 402 00:25:57,190 --> 00:26:02,290 time, and this is an opportunity now to expand the electorate, to give more 403 00:26:02,290 --> 00:26:06,050 people a seat at the table. Look, we have black representatives, as you well 404 00:26:06,050 --> 00:26:09,290 know, who represent largely white. I mean, we had Utah. 405 00:26:10,510 --> 00:26:14,170 Two blacks, not one. They're Republicans. And by the way, if you can 406 00:26:14,170 --> 00:26:16,950 black Republicans, go ahead. I'll elect more black Democrats. 407 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:20,550 We got a black Democrat out of Rhode Island. We got a black Democrat in 408 00:26:20,550 --> 00:26:24,010 Washington State. Ain't nothing wrong with being black and living in Nebraska 409 00:26:24,010 --> 00:26:29,010 Kansas. That's okay. What I'm saying is that in the South, where half the black 410 00:26:29,010 --> 00:26:34,850 population resides, we should not be told that we no longer have a seat at 411 00:26:34,850 --> 00:26:38,430 table. We do not. I do watch it. 412 00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:45,570 I went to my party night and I went on ABC on Sunday hotter than July. So I 413 00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:49,190 said, I got to stop watching Bill because you really piped me up, baby. I 414 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:50,190 want to lose my job. 415 00:26:50,270 --> 00:26:53,090 You piped me up. I don't know. I said, whoo, whoo. 416 00:26:57,910 --> 00:27:03,510 And by the way, nobody gave us a voting right. We bled for it. 417 00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:04,970 Okay. 418 00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:12,640 What I want to say about the Supreme Court decision here, so that people are 419 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:19,180 informed about it, is they struck down this idea, and it's an idea, it's not 420 00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:19,999 written in statute. 421 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,760 It's an idea that there has to be minority -minority districts. 422 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,940 That was not in the Voting Rights Act. There's nowhere in there that says that. 423 00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,080 It's been interpreted, it's become tradition. 424 00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:33,120 You're right about the letter of the law. But you know what? Find a new law. 425 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,300 That's why you have a whole book behind you. Then write a new law. 426 00:27:38,719 --> 00:27:39,940 That's the process. 427 00:27:40,180 --> 00:27:44,860 We got one, the John Lewis Bowdoin right back, and I hope you become a sponsor. 428 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,520 We would love your support. If the majority of the American people want 429 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,360 and again, again, I would just, I would do it. 430 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,760 How many, how many kisses? 431 00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Just one kiss? 432 00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:01,120 You don't want my foot. 433 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,260 I'm going to kiss. Look, we need support. 434 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,540 Make it weird. Make it weird. And by the way, I'm not weird. 435 00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:15,880 There's nothing freaky about me. 436 00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:19,280 Hello, unless I'm in the kitchen with my apron on. 437 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,620 It's coming from things, man. 438 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:31,180 Okay. Look, the Boomer Wives Act ended all kinds of schemes that kept not just 439 00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:32,820 blacks still, but poor whites. 440 00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:34,060 Think about the poll tax. 441 00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,720 Think about the literacy tax. 442 00:28:36,030 --> 00:28:37,030 It was necessary. 443 00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:41,550 Absolutely necessary. So it was important that we struck down those laws 444 00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:45,110 those rules so that we could have free and fair elections across the country. I 445 00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:48,590 am worried that we're all going to be able to go to the South and want to see 446 00:28:48,590 --> 00:28:49,590 the SEC play. 447 00:28:49,670 --> 00:28:52,310 Oh, we got black athletes. But they have no representation. 448 00:28:54,130 --> 00:28:55,009 Where is it? 449 00:28:55,010 --> 00:28:56,010 Oh, through the South. 450 00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:59,370 Who doesn't? I mean, you're going to see black athletes playing this fall, 451 00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:04,370 throwing for LSU, throwing for Tennessee, Alabama, but no black 452 00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:08,410 in Congress. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's my point is, you know, I 453 00:29:08,410 --> 00:29:13,250 very disturbed by this. I'm disturbed that we're turning back at a time when 454 00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:16,530 America's about to turn two -fifths. I got my red, white, and blue gown, baby. 455 00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:17,630 You going to turn me to Dallas? 456 00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:22,770 I mean, again. 457 00:29:26,199 --> 00:29:29,540 The letter of the law is written for a perfect world. We don't live in that 458 00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:32,600 perfect world. I don't mean to speak for the black population. You live in a 459 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,599 lawful world. 460 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,660 No, I can't speak for white people either. Okay, I'm just channeling the 461 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:39,660 folks I know. 462 00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:44,160 They like white people more than they used to because we are nicer than we 463 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:44,999 to be. 464 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,140 But trust us? 465 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,420 No. And I don't blame them. 466 00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:52,920 So there's just a lot of black folks who are not quite ready to vote for the 467 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,920 white representative. 468 00:29:54,300 --> 00:30:00,460 representative. They don't understand their life because we are still a 469 00:30:00,460 --> 00:30:06,240 country in many ways. I mean, when my friend Killer Mike puts out an album, I 470 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800 have to read the lyrics and even then I don't understand it. 471 00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:14,219 I'm serious. 472 00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:15,680 I'm saying this to make a point. 473 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,880 If that's the case, it's as different from English as Chaucer is. 474 00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:23,480 And that's just... 475 00:30:23,770 --> 00:30:28,010 pointing out that we are not quite living in the future. Well, if you want 476 00:30:28,010 --> 00:30:30,790 start living in the future, you have to go back to original principles, and 477 00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:35,110 original principles say that immutable characteristics such as skin color 478 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:36,470 not be an indication of your character. 479 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,760 That's an original principle. That's a foundational liberal principle. 480 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,260 In a Constitution where slavery was legal. 481 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:49,160 And then we fought a war to end it. I know. Because of our Declaration of 482 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,020 Independence and the values, those original principles that we stated 483 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,140 that was used as the argument against slavery by the Republicans. And look, 484 00:30:56,180 --> 00:30:59,380 maybe we need another period of enlightenment because I'm going back to 485 00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:04,440 those theories that gave us this so -called great Constitution, the Bill of 486 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,880 Rights, and of course the Declaration of Independence. independence but let me 487 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,720 just say this as you all know it took women almost 144 years to get secure the 488 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,540 right to vote and and look we just had to fight once again for a medication 489 00:31:17,540 --> 00:31:22,380 is safe safe the fifth circuit saying that we should not receive our 490 00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:27,340 in the mail it's medication and people keep saying it's abortion pill women 491 00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:31,820 to have full access to the range of reproductive health care no one should 492 00:31:31,820 --> 00:31:33,240 having a miscarriage 493 00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:37,760 All right, I have to move on. 494 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,320 I have to move on. 495 00:31:40,660 --> 00:31:42,520 Very important thing. 496 00:31:43,340 --> 00:31:48,600 Wait, wait, let me tell you what this is. A couple of weeks ago, maybe a month 497 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,660 ago, I did a whole editorial about aliens because, you know, the world has 498 00:31:53,660 --> 00:31:58,340 changed now. I mean, it used to be the people who were talking about it were 499 00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:01,820 the most serious people in the world, and now they are. It is the most... 500 00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:06,700 Serious people, military people, two movies, one is a documentary, one is the 501 00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:11,120 Spielberg movie that's coming out. They both use the word disclosure in the 502 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,860 title. We seem to be at that place. Trump is on board with this. He keeps 503 00:32:14,860 --> 00:32:19,160 teasing that we are going to see the files. Well, today was the day they 504 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,010 released. A lot of the files. 505 00:32:21,230 --> 00:32:25,050 Now, some of it is probably nothing. Some of it is interesting that I never 506 00:32:25,050 --> 00:32:30,010 heard before, like the astronauts on the Apollo 17 flight saw things that they 507 00:32:30,010 --> 00:32:33,130 were talking about that they thought was strange. Do you think they were really 508 00:32:33,130 --> 00:32:37,830 there, though? Oh, I don't know. But what I do know, and don't ask me how we 509 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:44,710 it, we got a hold of the, absolutely, we got a hold of the stuff. 510 00:32:47,470 --> 00:32:50,870 Some of this hasn't even been released yet. Would you like to hear? This is all 511 00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:52,470 about what we don't know about the aliens. 512 00:32:53,070 --> 00:32:54,070 All right. 513 00:32:54,630 --> 00:33:00,150 For example, oh, this is so interesting right here. They never wash the anal 514 00:33:00,150 --> 00:33:01,150 probe. 515 00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:10,550 What else? Oh, their central computer was once destroyed by the illogic of 516 00:33:10,550 --> 00:33:11,890 Dakota getting two senators. 517 00:33:14,250 --> 00:33:15,250 Oh. 518 00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:21,260 They don't reproduce through physical contact, just like Gen Z. 519 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,780 Sometimes after the anal probe, they say, now do me. 520 00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:41,080 Oh, very interesting. They did build the pyramids and also gave us the Bible, 521 00:33:41,140 --> 00:33:42,220 but only as a joke. 522 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,460 Oh. They refer to the missing Malaysian airliner as our bag. 523 00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:58,500 Oh. 524 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,180 This is kind of sad. In the universe, we're considered a shithole planet. 525 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,380 I find that... 526 00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:13,080 Pass it. They have over 27 different 527 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,219 genders, five fewer than at NYU. 528 00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:25,420 They don't say, take me to your leader. They say, wait, this is your leader? 529 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,980 And also, they want to know why the Michael movie left out all the stuff 530 00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:38,260 kids. All right. 531 00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:46,320 I want to talk 532 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,179 about the Met Gala. I have never talked about it. 533 00:34:49,610 --> 00:34:50,730 I thought you just were. 534 00:34:52,010 --> 00:34:53,010 I know. 535 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:55,989 The outfits are pretty much what the aliens might have. 536 00:34:56,810 --> 00:35:01,110 You wanted proof. There's your proof. I never talked about it because I guess I 537 00:35:01,110 --> 00:35:04,470 never really understood it. There was a lot of controversy about it this year, 538 00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:05,490 so I'm reading about it. 539 00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:09,590 It's actually a charity. You know, the show, some of the people, I mean, this 540 00:35:09,590 --> 00:35:12,470 happens every year. The celebrities show up and they're wearing just the most 541 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:15,610 outrageous things. I just thought, oh, they're celebrities. They're fucking 542 00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:16,670 nuts. That's what they do. 543 00:35:17,690 --> 00:35:20,890 They just, they're weird. and they were attention whores and they just wear 544 00:35:20,890 --> 00:35:25,210 weird shit. I've seen them do it in other places. No, this is actually a 545 00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:30,910 for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Okay, I 546 00:35:30,910 --> 00:35:34,610 that. It's like fashion and art, not like for poor people. This year there's 547 00:35:34,610 --> 00:35:38,230 lot of controversy because it was apparently sponsored by Jeff Bezos. 548 00:35:39,210 --> 00:35:44,070 Spent $10 million for it and they got very upset about this. The people I call 549 00:35:44,070 --> 00:35:46,930 the liberals in theory. 550 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,200 And some people said they weren't going to go. Turned out just about everybody 551 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,780 went. And I guess the question I'm asking is, for the party that's always 552 00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:02,260 talking about money and have kind of made making money evil, now, I do 553 00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:06,840 that there should be an upper number that we tax on, that you can't have more 554 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,780 money than, you know, some of these people have over $500 billion. 555 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,940 That's crazy. But I am the farthest thing from a socialist. 556 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,780 I think making money is good. 557 00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:17,520 Wanting to be rich is good. 558 00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:22,260 Part of what makes America America, we conform to human nature, which is 559 00:36:23,620 --> 00:36:29,220 But you can't have it both ways. I mean, Beyonce was there. She's wearing a 560 00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:34,460 $50 million necklace and the Queen of Calari Diamond. 561 00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:37,700 Wow, I don't even know her. And I say you go, girl. 562 00:36:38,340 --> 00:36:42,460 Look, I know her mother, but Beyonce, call me. 563 00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:44,220 I think I need to help her. 564 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560 I need to help her. Okay. Okay. 565 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,280 I need to help her. No, but no, she's a fabulous. But don't you think... It's 566 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,640 fine, Ray. She might have rented that shit, Bill. You know, she needs it. 567 00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:57,480 So they can brand it. I know. They give it to her to wear. And I say good. 568 00:36:57,940 --> 00:36:58,940 I'm glad. 569 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,380 Everybody should be able to do what they want in America and be as rich as they 570 00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:04,540 want. Not quite as rich as they want. I take that back. 571 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,380 Don't steal my money, though. Don't steal the taxpayers' money. I'm sick of 572 00:37:08,380 --> 00:37:09,380 shit right now. 573 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,060 I'm sick of it. Just too many grassy green people stealing our money. 574 00:37:14,420 --> 00:37:15,420 Move out. 575 00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:20,590 Well, I was saying this the other week. You know, the problem is that when 576 00:37:20,590 --> 00:37:24,210 Bernie Sanders says billionaires and billionaires, it's so outdated. 577 00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:29,050 Millionaires? You know that one out of six households in America are 578 00:37:29,050 --> 00:37:33,210 millionaires? One out of six. So when you say billionaires and you lump them 579 00:37:33,290 --> 00:37:36,630 this is what I was complaining about. Please don't lower my property value. 580 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:37,630 right now, Bernie. 581 00:37:38,050 --> 00:37:39,050 But, you know. 582 00:37:42,490 --> 00:37:45,970 Claiming you don't pay taxes. I pay a shit ton of taxes. Me too. 583 00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:50,770 It's the super rich who don't pay taxes. In fact, I call my husband Sam. 584 00:37:51,610 --> 00:37:52,610 He's a paper man. 585 00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:58,390 I pay him. And by the way, Gladys, Miss California, just gave me $4 back. I came 586 00:37:58,390 --> 00:38:01,450 on your show twice last year and I owed them money, Bill. What the hell's wrong 587 00:38:01,450 --> 00:38:02,450 with you? 588 00:38:03,010 --> 00:38:05,910 You're bringing me out here to pay your taxes. That's enough. 589 00:38:06,290 --> 00:38:07,290 Come on now. 590 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,540 I mean, Bill, you're right. 591 00:38:11,180 --> 00:38:16,000 Your love is, you know, I can call the Democratic capitalist. That's because of 592 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:16,999 my house. 593 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,820 I mean, shit, I grew up in poverty. 594 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,500 I've earned my money. I've earned the right. I love my nieces and nephews. 595 00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:25,980 given them everything I can. 596 00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:30,080 I want to enjoy the rest of my life. Right. Okay? 597 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,280 But I also, here's where Bernie is. 598 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,600 Here's Bernie's point. Bernie believes that we live in two Americas. 599 00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:43,800 Two Americas. And it's wrong that one set of Americans can no longer afford 600 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,220 American dream. One set of Americans keep, you know, working harder and 601 00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:51,580 to pay more. And the other set seem like the rules are working for them. 602 00:38:51,780 --> 00:38:55,660 So that's Bernie's point. He may not be talking in 21st century language. I 603 00:38:55,660 --> 00:38:58,460 know, but he's got it updated. Because millionaires, it's like saying, here's a 604 00:38:58,460 --> 00:39:01,960 dime for the phone. Okay, it's a quarter now, and we don't even have those 605 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:02,960 anymore. 606 00:39:04,180 --> 00:39:07,400 He's also, I mean, he's misrepresenting the truth, so he's got to stop doing 607 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,960 that as well. So, I mean, we just go from statistics, like, where does 608 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,400 revenue come from? They're not paying their fair share. Well, the top 1 % pays 609 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,860 40 % of federal revenue. 610 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,760 The bottom 50 % pays 3 % of federal revenue. 611 00:39:20,020 --> 00:39:21,020 Is that fair? 612 00:39:21,370 --> 00:39:22,610 Is that proportion fair? 613 00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:24,790 This is a subjective question. 614 00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:28,330 We actually believe in our country, and we have for a long time, that there 615 00:39:28,330 --> 00:39:30,830 should be a progressive tax system. It's one of the most progressive, if not the 616 00:39:30,830 --> 00:39:33,070 most, in the world when you conclude state and local. 617 00:39:33,490 --> 00:39:38,290 So the rich, not even, it's not even that everybody plays their, like, 20%. 618 00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:43,610 the rich pay a higher percentage in addition to. So the idea that they're 619 00:39:43,610 --> 00:39:49,710 not paying taxes is factually incorrect just by the numbers. So the question is 620 00:39:49,710 --> 00:39:50,649 then, like, what? 621 00:39:50,650 --> 00:39:55,770 What is fair? How are we defining it? Or is it just a populist rallying cry to 622 00:39:55,770 --> 00:39:59,970 build on resentment that people have? But would you say there should be an 623 00:39:59,970 --> 00:40:05,390 limit? In other words, if your personal wealth is worth 2 % of gross national 624 00:40:05,390 --> 00:40:09,970 product, couldn't we be able to cap something on the upper limit? No? 625 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,700 A trillion dollars? 626 00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:15,760 Why? Why? Where do they do it? Is that money in a checking account? That 627 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,960 not in a checking account, first of all. They're using that to buy. 628 00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,640 We're talking about Elon, because I think that's the only person who even 629 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,640 close to that. 630 00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:25,180 How many companies and basic things have they started? How many people have they 631 00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:27,200 employed? How many investments have they made? 632 00:40:27,780 --> 00:40:30,000 It's not like it's just sitting in a checking account. 633 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:32,600 The guy's working 24 hours a day. 634 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,840 And also, that top 1 % is a very fluid group of people, too. It's not the same 635 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,800 people. It's usually made up of new people who, like, sold their business. 636 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,160 worked forever to build and finally sold it that year. They get lumped into the 637 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,220 1%, and then they're out the next year. And wealthy Americans can afford 638 00:40:48,220 --> 00:40:52,120 accountants that can find those loopholes. They understand how to get 639 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,200 when they want to move their companies into the state and say, hey, if you, you 640 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,220 know, make sure I don't have to pay property taxes for the next 20 years. 641 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,240 the system is not working. That's why so many Americans are right now 642 00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:06,180 disgruntled. That's why Donald Trump is underwater, even on his strongest 643 00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:07,180 attributes. 644 00:41:07,950 --> 00:41:11,490 My Democrats are the big, beautiful, ugly pieces of shit. 645 00:41:12,130 --> 00:41:14,390 Seriously, you're going to close rural hospitals? 646 00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:17,770 You're going to take people off of Medicare? We put $50 billion into rural 647 00:41:17,770 --> 00:41:21,030 hospitals, literally put it into hospitals. And meanwhile, we can't 648 00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:26,210 health care for average Americans working $65 ,000 a year. You can afford 649 00:41:26,210 --> 00:41:27,470 lot less if you're paying more doctors. 650 00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:28,348 All right. 651 00:41:28,350 --> 00:41:29,510 $2 ,000 more. 652 00:41:29,830 --> 00:41:33,830 No, the American dream should be affordable for all people. That's my 653 00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:36,470 I know. And I still lie to you. 654 00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:41,160 The fact is that health care is expensive because Obamacare made it 655 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,480 They created a market that is completely unviable. I love that you believe 656 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,300 narratives, folks. I love it. But you've got to look at the facts and health 657 00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:53,180 care policies, what actually happens in insurance markets. 658 00:41:53,540 --> 00:41:57,380 Well, they have health care, but it is true that very often they can't use it. 659 00:41:58,439 --> 00:42:01,940 Because part of that is because the Republicans tried every way they could 660 00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:05,640 rat -fuck Obamacare after it was passed. They didn't even know. The Democrats 661 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,320 passed it and said, well, we'll read it afterwards. 662 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:08,760 I mean, they didn't know it was in it either. 663 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,840 Okay. I mean, they took out some of the... I mean, it was... The only thing 664 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,120 got changed was zeroing out the tax penalty for not buying it. Well, you 665 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,140 have a replacement for it. So until you have a replacement, we should keep what 666 00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:23,180 is working that keep America healthy and safe. 667 00:42:23,500 --> 00:42:25,580 Honestly, not working, we don't have any complaints about it. 668 00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:27,580 Oh, yeah. 669 00:42:27,940 --> 00:42:29,800 They are compiling all of our samples. 670 00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:31,600 And it's like they stopped this time. 671 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,700 People are worried about their property insurance. 672 00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:37,140 They're worried about being able to pay for flood insurance. 673 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,480 Well, then why do you guys want to raise their taxes? 674 00:42:39,700 --> 00:42:44,380 We don't want to raise their taxes. Every Democrat voted against our primary 675 00:42:44,380 --> 00:42:46,680 bill that we all got elected, and we did this first. Because you made tax cuts 676 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,280 permanent. Yes, we made tax cuts permanent. At the same time, you have 677 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,080 after wars after wars, and we cannot pay for it. We're about to raise the 678 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,820 defense budget to $1 .5 trillion while we bring in new ornament and new 679 00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:01,280 ammunition and new munitions. We're changing the subject. 680 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,240 Let's do that. Let's change the subject. 681 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,700 Wait, wait, wait. I want to change the subject. 682 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,200 This subject. 683 00:43:08,700 --> 00:43:12,940 Because, I mean, depending on budget, they're asking for a $600 billion 684 00:43:12,940 --> 00:43:19,700 increase. That is big. In an age when we are finding out from the Ukrainian 685 00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:23,240 war, it's drones, baby. 686 00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:24,760 And drones are cheap. 687 00:43:24,980 --> 00:43:26,280 So what are we spending? 688 00:43:29,210 --> 00:43:34,310 It's not as crazy as it sounds. One, we're waking up to the fact. Nobody 689 00:43:34,310 --> 00:43:37,990 that they could fight Russia to a standstill. I didn't. I thought they 690 00:43:37,990 --> 00:43:39,810 going to lose that war, and they did. 691 00:43:40,170 --> 00:43:41,770 That is the nature of warfare. 692 00:43:42,050 --> 00:43:46,530 The Gatling gun comes along, machine guns come along, planes, tanks, and the 693 00:43:46,530 --> 00:43:50,790 offense versus defense changes, and wars change. We are at that moment now. 694 00:43:51,190 --> 00:43:55,550 Wars are completely being changed by drones, and it seems like we are 695 00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:58,250 the last war as well as fighting the last one. 696 00:43:58,510 --> 00:43:59,510 No, we're not. 697 00:43:59,830 --> 00:44:05,510 To make you feel better, we absolutely are investing a lot into drones, drones 698 00:44:05,510 --> 00:44:08,030 of all types, from space down to the bottom of the ocean. 699 00:44:09,010 --> 00:44:11,910 Space is the new frontier. 700 00:44:12,930 --> 00:44:17,030 You know, China has known this for a while, that space is a warfare domain. 701 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:18,730 have refused to believe it for a long time. 702 00:44:19,210 --> 00:44:21,270 And there's finally investments in that space. 703 00:44:21,510 --> 00:44:25,530 And so a lot of this money is Golden Dome, a lot of this, which, you know, 704 00:44:25,530 --> 00:44:28,890 in Reagan's days and Star Wars, like the technology was not there, but now it 705 00:44:28,890 --> 00:44:31,170 is. But you've got to invest in it and put it out there. 706 00:44:31,810 --> 00:44:34,110 One of the reasons I've been in L .A. all week is visiting all these space 707 00:44:34,110 --> 00:44:35,110 companies that are out here. 708 00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:39,550 Because L .A. has one of the, just has the ecosystem of labor that works in the 709 00:44:39,550 --> 00:44:40,509 space industry. 710 00:44:40,510 --> 00:44:41,650 It's flourishing. 711 00:44:42,290 --> 00:44:43,198 People like... 712 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,780 And companies like SpaceX have obviously pioneered that. So a lot of investment 713 00:44:46,780 --> 00:44:50,500 in that. A lot of investment in paying it forward to save the taxpayer money in 714 00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:54,360 the long run. So instead of the stupid way that we often have bought weapons or 715 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,380 new munitions, we pay more and more and more later because we tell companies, 716 00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,800 like, hey, we might buy some later. 717 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,380 And so what does that do? It raises the cost of production every time. So no, 718 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,980 put an actual amount seven years out. So a lot of it is paying it forward and 719 00:45:07,980 --> 00:45:09,420 putting that investment in now. 720 00:45:10,220 --> 00:45:12,760 AI is another big one that you have to invest in. 721 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,380 Shipbuilding industry as well. So that's the reason for that massive increase. 722 00:45:17,580 --> 00:45:20,800 And it's not obvious that it would be to continue to be that. But Bill, the 723 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,800 problem is it's like a layer cake. Well, you put on the bottom layer and then 724 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,420 we've got a top layer and another layer. Well, this is the bottom layer is going 725 00:45:28,420 --> 00:45:29,420 to stay the same. 726 00:45:29,870 --> 00:45:34,590 which is about $600, $700 billion, and then we add another $200. 727 00:45:34,810 --> 00:45:38,230 I used to work on Capitol Hill, and the defense budget, you know, it's like 728 00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:41,170 going to a jewelry store, and you're like, I like that one, I like that one, 729 00:45:41,170 --> 00:45:45,670 like that one. We need to have a new strategic framing for 21st century wars, 730 00:45:45,730 --> 00:45:48,970 and you're absolutely right. We can learn a lot from Ukraine, but we 731 00:45:48,970 --> 00:45:52,410 keep layering and layering and layering as if the taxpayers can afford this. 732 00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:54,330 We have to close it there. 733 00:45:54,890 --> 00:45:56,250 Thank you for all your... 734 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,460 Spirited discussion time for new rules, everybody. 735 00:46:00,220 --> 00:46:03,120 New rules.
