We used to say that the difference between

0:02

a conspiracy theory and the truth was

0:04

six to nine months. It would

0:06

appear that that timeline is

0:08

accelerating. I have

0:10

here in my hand an article from The New York

0:12

Times published on October third.

0:15

Headline, how a tiny elections

0:17

company became a conspiracy

0:20

theory target. This is

0:22

by Stuart a Thompson.

0:26

This is the first sentence is the article.

0:28

At an invitation only conference in August

0:30

at a secret location Southeast of Phoenix.

0:33

A group of election deniers unspooled

0:36

a new conspiracy theory

0:39

about the twenty twenty presidential outcome.

0:42

Using threadbare evidence or

0:44

none at all, The group suggested

0:46

that a small American election software

0:49

company, Canaccette, had secret

0:51

ties to the Chinese Communist

0:54

Party and had given the Chinese government

0:56

backdoor access to personal data

0:58

about two million poll workers in the United

1:01

States according

1:01

to online accounts from several people

1:04

at the conference. It goes

1:05

on and on about the conspiracy theory. Okay?

1:07

That's October third, New York Times. It's

1:10

Stuart Thompson.

1:12

October fourth,

1:16

October third, October

1:18

fourth, October fourth, Also by Stuart

1:20

Thompson, election software

1:23

executive arrested unsuspition of

1:25

theft. This

1:27

is the first this is the first sentences. I'm not

1:30

even picking edge the top

1:32

executive of an election's technology

1:34

company that has been the focus of attention

1:36

among election deniers was arrested

1:39

by Los Angeles County officials

1:41

in connection with an investigation into

1:44

the possible theft of personal information

1:46

about poll workers the county said

1:48

on Tuesday. And what

1:50

happened? Where did they find the data? Mister

1:53

Gascon's office said its investigators had found

1:55

the data stored in China

2:02

Is is the same paper.

2:05

It's the same story. It's the same

2:07

paper. It's the same writer. It's

2:10

twenty four hours apart.

2:13

forget the same week or the it's

2:16

October third, October fourth. And

2:19

yet when you look at the October fourth article,

2:22

not a hint of an apology. No

2:25

oops. No

2:27

official correction. just

2:29

move along. Yeah. Move along. Yeah. Yeah. The thing

2:31

we said that didn't happen. Yeah. Okay. It happened.

2:33

Yeah. Move along. Move along. Nothing to see here. No.

2:36

No. We have nothing to apologize for on to the

2:38

next dishonest attack. It's a

2:40

reminder, especially as we head into the midterms,

2:42

that when Democrats start harping

2:44

on some Conspiracy theory,

2:47

when Democrats really spend a lot of

2:49

time and energy attacking some so called

2:51

conspiracy theory, you can

2:53

be almost certain. that

2:55

the conspiracy theory is

2:57

correct. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael

2:59

Knowles show. Welcome

3:07

back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from

3:09

The Drummers workshop at Norm's Music.

3:11

He had it yesterday too. This guy

3:13

is good. This guy is good. He says, on

3:16

the next Scooby Doo episode,

3:18

Velma goes to Russia to try to save

3:21

Britney Greiner. Rottro That's

3:24

true, of course. Because with the left

3:26

as to do, because the left can't create

3:29

anything of its own and its narratives are are

3:31

preposterous and its agenda is deeply

3:33

unpopular. What they have to do is go into

3:35

beloved institutions and beloved characters

3:38

and beloved stories and then just rip their

3:40

guts out cut slice them open, rip

3:42

out their guts, then climb inside them like invasion

3:44

of the body snatchers, and

3:46

use those beloved characters and institutions to

3:49

to pair it their own unpopular

3:52

and incoherent narratives. That's what they have to do.

3:54

That's that's the only way it's gonna work. So that's true.

3:56

Of course, we're gonna see that we're gonna

3:58

see that next week. Mickey Mouse

4:00

talking about the importance of transiting the kids. Actually,

4:03

they already did that one. They actually They

4:05

already Wow. truth

4:07

is stranger than parody.

4:10

The news is stranger than satire

4:12

these days, I suppose. You know,

with all of this craziness, especially

4:17

with these attacks for for holding perfectly

4:44

your phone carrier is collecting data

noles. Lot of conspiracy theories

5:43

going around, and

5:45

a lot of them are being proven correct. Here's

5:48

a conspiracy theory. Do you remember there's this conspiracy

5:51

theory, right wing extreme dangerous

5:54

theory that schools

5:57

are trying to trans your kids. And

6:00

initially, the Libs said, this is not

6:03

true. The schools are not transiting

6:05

the kids. This is not being taught

6:07

in school and it's good that it is.

6:10

Uh-huh. Yeah, it's not the schools

6:12

are not teach first of all, they're saying,

6:14

they're not teaching transgenderism

6:16

in LGBT ideology. That,

6:19

it was pretty clear very quickly. You just look

6:21

at the curricula, you look at the libraries. Yes. They are

6:23

teaching that. Okay. Well, it's good that we're teaching that.

6:26

Next, but they're certainly not trying

6:28

to actively inculcate

6:32

these these beliefs in your child

6:34

to cultivate and groom really

6:36

these sexual orientations and

6:39

behaviors in your child. Or there's that's definitely

6:41

not happening until Until

6:43

we have a top national school psychologist

6:47

who is now part of a group offering

6:50

to resettle kids

6:53

with

6:54

queer parents. Not

6:56

their parent. They're gonna take the kids away from the kids

6:58

parents and resettle them with

7:01

homosexuality and other members of the queer

7:03

community. This is the chairman

7:05

and chair lady, I guess, of the National

7:07

Association of School Psychologists LGBTQ

7:10

Committee admitting that

7:13

as she wants to put parents in their place.

7:16

to rehome, she says,

7:19

gay youth.

7:22

The group's resources for outed students'

7:24

advises, quote, students who are facing familial

7:27

rejection or who need to leave

7:29

their home for another reason. Let's

7:31

just put pause there. we even need to

7:33

leave their home for another reason. So

7:36

familial rejection is saying the kid was thrown out of

7:38

the house, where the kid's gonna go. Okay. That's one issue.

7:42

It's a complicated issue. That's one issue.

7:44

But what about students who need to leave their home

7:46

for another reason? Specifically

7:49

for sexual reasons? What

7:51

is those people

7:53

are, quote, encouraged to reach out

7:55

to Amy, she, her, immediately.

7:59

they, and I think it's confusing. They do this

8:01

now because they use a plural pronoun to refer to

8:03

individuals. But they, I think that means she

8:06

works with Safe Space

8:08

Nova. They are an adult.

8:11

Like, I'm just gonna translate this into English.

8:14

She works with Safe Space Nova. She is an

8:16

adult and can provide you with much

8:18

more information. She's also confidential. Saying

8:22

that PLP, the Pride

8:24

Liberation Project, that

8:27

we're talking about here could re

8:29

home students who don't

8:31

like their parents, as well as pay them

8:33

money and have an adult pick them up.

8:36

to take them to their new lives. Group

8:38

said it could provide false documentation to

8:40

hide children's whereabouts while they

8:42

participate in the gay activities and

8:45

hide them from their parents. In

8:47

the event of you needing to leave your home, we can

8:49

provide you with emergency housing from a supportive,

8:51

peer friendly adult. We will work

8:53

with other supportive adult organizations

8:56

in region find you, someone who can provide

8:58

you a kind in affirming home. I try

9:00

not to take cheap shots especially at

9:02

the marginalized, same

9:05

sex attracted, sort of people who were sexually

9:07

confused. And I and I

9:09

do that because think it's so easy and

9:12

think to smear these

9:14

people as all being kind of pedophiles or criminals

9:17

or something is not a nice thing to do, and so

9:19

I generally try to avoid

9:20

it. It's

9:22

really hard to read this and

9:24

not think that these people are sick

9:28

perverted petos. It's really hard

9:30

when you've got these people,

9:33

these predators, who are

9:35

working with predators in the schools and school

9:37

psychologists and these organizations

9:40

and these nonprofits. to

9:42

target these kids who are having fights with

9:44

their parents or who maybe they're just going

9:46

through a rough period with their parents as all

9:48

teenage kids do. and say, hey, leave

9:51

your home. We'll pay you to leave your home. We'll give you

9:53

money. We'll have that adult out there in that creepy

9:55

white van. He'll come and pick you up. And he'll take you

9:57

to the nice really nice home of a really

9:59

nice queer man and he'll take good

10:01

good care of you. It's really hard to read

10:03

that. in

10:05

a charitable way. I think the most charitable way

10:07

you can read that is these people are sick

10:10

and obviously perverted and

10:12

probably predators. Right? when

10:15

you have that kind of an interest in

10:18

someone else's twelve year old, something's

10:21

wrong. Okay? When you've got that kind of

10:23

an interest, In someone else's twelve

10:25

year olds sexual desires and

10:27

behavior, something is wrong with you and

10:29

you need to seek help and you probably need

10:31

to be kept away from polite society. Just

10:34

a conspiracy theory though. Right? Right?

10:37

No. No. We're not we're not trying to trans

10:39

and queer your kids. And that's why we're

10:41

sending that creepy creepy

10:43

old forty year old billy over there in the

10:45

white van, good old billy from

10:48

where he's the one wearing the leather vest He's

10:50

gonna just come pick up your twelve year old and and

10:52

take him away from you and hide him and give him

10:54

money and talk about sexuality with

10:56

him. Right? Yeah. It's a total conspiracy theory

10:58

though. Right? not talking about another conspiracy theory.

11:00

You remember, again, on the transgender topic.

11:03

We were told, no, no, no, there are no

11:05

hospitals. or transiting

11:08

the kids. This is completely ridiculous. No

11:10

one is the the transgender

11:12

surgery is for adults, people over

11:15

eighteen, Okay. Maybe some seventeen year olds.

11:17

Okay. Maybe some sixteen year olds. Okay. Maybe some thirteen

11:19

year olds. Okay. Actually, and you've got it in

11:21

in the reporting from people like lips of TikTok

11:23

and handful of other actual journalists

11:25

out there. Oh, yeah. Actually, these

11:27

kinds of procedures and chemicals cross

11:30

x hormones humanity blockers. These

11:32

are being given to kids who are much,

11:34

much younger. Well, there's some good news on that front.

11:37

The governor of Oklahoma governor

11:40

Kevin Stitt signed a bill

11:43

that prohibits gender transition services

11:45

for children at at

11:47

an Oklahoma pediatric hospital.

11:49

Okay. So that's good. And it's because the hospital is

11:51

reliant on state funds. So

11:54

he can say, okay, we're not going to pass on

11:56

certain funds that we are in possession

11:59

of that might come from the federal government too. But he wants

12:01

to go further because it doesn't actually outlaw this.

12:03

It hopefully won't stop it and put a lot of pressure

12:05

on it. But he says, I'm calling for the legislature

12:08

to ban all irreversible gender transition

12:10

surgeries and hormone therapies on minors.

12:13

when they convene next session

12:15

in February twenty twenty three. Now there's a

12:17

little bit of wiggle room here irreversible. I

12:19

wouldn't because the the lips are gonna dispute that

12:21

it's irreversible even though it usually is.

12:23

But if he's obviously moving in the right direction,

12:26

this is gonna just gonna watch language. He says we cannot

12:28

turn blind eye to what's happening all across our

12:30

nation. And as governor, I will not allow life

12:32

altering transition surgeries on minor children

12:34

in the state of Oklahoma. Great stuff. I strongly

12:37

applaud you governor Kevin Stitt.

12:39

Hey, other Republican governors, where are you?

12:41

Where are the rest of you? I know that Some Republican

12:44

governors are making movements on this front right

12:46

now. Let's do it. Let's get it done. I don't even wanna

12:48

wait until the next legislative session. Let's

12:50

get it done. right now

12:52

because the longer this goes with those Republican

12:54

governors not doing this, the more I'm starting

12:56

to think they're squishes, the more I'm starting to think

12:59

they're fine with transiting the kids. We know some of them

13:01

are asa Hutchinson. He's a fake Republican

13:03

governor in Arkansas. He's fine with transiting

13:06

the kids. Okay? Don't be like

13:08

asa Hutchinson. Be like be like governorstead.

13:10

Do not be like governor Hutchinson. Okay?

13:12

We're gonna have to do this stuff ourselves folks. We're

13:15

gonna have to make our voices heard and make sure

13:17

that our representatives do what is right here. When

13:19

you wanna fix your car yourself, you gotta check

13:21

out rock auto dot com. Right now, go

13:23

to rock auto dot com and write Knowles in

13:25

13:32

rock auto dot com's prices are the

13:34

14:16

be sure to write Knowles, KMWLES, in

14:19

there, how did you hear about a box so

14:21

they know that we sent you?

14:23

All these crazy

14:25

conspiracy theories that just all turned out to

14:27

be true. Yes, they are indoctrinating kids into

14:30

the weird LGBT stuff. Yes, they are encouraging

14:32

kids engage in this kind of behavior and

14:34

and indulge these sexual identities. Yes, they are

14:37

overtly trans ing the kids. This is all happening.

14:39

And One of my colleagues

14:41

has made AAG hard out of

14:43

this issue. And that would be my

14:45

colleague Matt Walsh who has an excellent

14:47

movie on the subject. What is a woman? He's

14:50

putting a ton of pressure, media pressure

14:53

on politicians here in the state of

14:55

Tennessee and around the country. to

14:57

change these laws. I think he's been very,

14:59

very effective at that. He's doing a really good job. So

15:02

what happens? What happens? when

15:04

you pose a threat to

15:06

the establishment. Here's

15:09

the hit piece. Here we go,

15:11

baby. This is good from our our

15:14

good friends over at media matters, our publicists.

15:17

We've got Matt Walsh's sordid

15:20

history as a radio host.

15:22

exposed. As

15:25

the cohost of the Matt and crank

15:27

program, Matt Walsh

15:29

defended political

15:32

violence and teen pregnancy.

15:35

He shocked an intern with a stun

15:37

gun. So just on that that last

15:39

one right there. That's funny. That's

15:41

good. I think, actually, I think

15:43

that builds character when you can I know

15:45

it's not permitted in every jurisdiction now,

15:47

but I think the interns would get a lot

15:50

better work done if you get everyone, so I'll just

15:52

kinda zap them, you know. But okay.

15:54

So I don't again, I have no context here.

15:56

Right? he performed racist impressions

15:59

of black man rate well, everything that conservatives

16:01

do is racist according to these people. So, okay,

16:03

did that. and he said that we

16:05

we probably lost our republic after

16:08

reconstruction. Okay. So I went

16:10

through I'm not gonna go through this. this article

16:12

is so long. And it would be kind of weird

16:14

for me to read our publicist's

16:16

work on the air. Right? My job here is

16:19

to just be on the air. and then our publicists and

16:21

media matters can put it all out there.

16:23

But I went through it. I went through it. I said, okay. What's

16:25

the best they got? What's the best they

16:27

got on this guy? Dig it up.

16:29

Let me see, baby. This is the one. Matt's just

16:31

launching his kind of stop transiting the

16:33

kids tour right now. So this is the day.

16:35

It's obviously timed to be a a political

16:38

attack. What do they got? And I'm looking through it

16:40

all. It's

16:42

it's just stuff that he other

16:45

than, you know, stupid jokes like he has shocked the intern

16:47

or something. It's just generally

16:49

the stuff that he still talks about. Matt

16:52

Walsh says there's a great

16:55

replacement theory. He talked about that on backstage.

16:57

like a week ago. Matt Walsh

17:00

believes that we shouldn't trans the kids.

17:03

Yeah. That's true. So it's basically the big

17:05

headline here is Matt Walsh continues used

17:07

to believe the things that he says. He he believes.

17:10

That's and that's the best they got. I

17:13

thought that's pretty amazing. If this, you got a

17:15

whole research team, media matters funded

17:17

doing a lot of money. This is the best they

17:19

could do. I don't know. I don't know.

17:21

I think I could probably dig up better stuff on Walsh.

17:23

That's pretty, pretty weak stuff. But

17:26

what's it really about? It's not about Matt Walsh.

17:28

It's not about this local radio show that he was

17:30

on ten years ago. It's not about it's not

17:32

even about the poor intern. who

17:34

apparently was a shotgun camera or something.

17:36

By the way, I I was almost electrocuted three

17:39

days ago. when I had

17:41

the labor simulator on my abs for twenty

17:43

minutes. No one no. I don't hear any any

17:46

lamentations for me. Whereas my pity

17:48

piece and media matters. No. Only for the interns,

17:51

do they get that? But regardless, it's not

17:53

about that, it's not about any of that stuff. This is about

17:55

shutting down the hospitals. all

17:58

this info has been out there forever. We've all had

18:00

our shows for years. This is because right now,

18:03

Matt is trying to shut down these pediatric gender

18:05

clinics. and because he

18:07

at the moment is one of the big faces of

18:09

it, they're just gonna go after him because

18:11

they they really don't wanna shut down the hospitals. And

18:13

they don't wanna shut down And when

18:15

I say hospitals, I mean, quack,

18:18

shaman, which doctor mutilation

18:21

pervert boot camps where they take

18:23

confused kids and then chop off their body

18:25

parts and pump them full of the wrong hormones and

18:27

things like that. So obviously, these

18:30

things should be shut down. why are the lips pushing for

18:32

it? There's the I've set it on the show for

18:34

days now. Well, I've set it for longer, but

18:36

I've been focusing on it for the past few days. There's

18:38

an ideological component. the

18:40

lids really do wanna upend the world.

18:42

The lids actually hate reality

18:45

as it is that the lids hate norms and

18:47

traditions and standards in moral order. So

18:49

they want to invert all of that. It's

18:52

it's that line that Democrats quote all the time

18:54

going back to JFK that is actually

18:56

a quote from George Bernard Shaw's play cycle

18:58

back to methuselah, which is actually a quote

19:01

from the serpent in the Garden of Eden tempting

19:03

Eve. In the line is this. Some people

19:05

see things that are and say why I

19:07

dream things that never were and say why

19:09

not? And that's that's the distinction right there.

19:11

Right? Conservatives are looking at the way things are and

19:14

they say why? Why do things work this way? What is

19:16

it? What is human nature really like? What is the

19:18

world? What what what are we here for? What is

19:20

the purpose of all these things? Right? And the lips

19:22

look at the world and they say, I hate this. I

19:24

wanna I wanna remake all of this. I wanna be

19:26

as gods. As, you know, you shall be as

19:28

gods as the line from the serpent in the

19:30

Garden of Eden tempting even. It's a line that Whitaker

19:32

Chambers after he had left communism famously

19:35

said that's that's the beginning of communism. That's the

19:37

beginning of this kind of radical left isn't.

19:40

That's really what it's all about. And

19:42

that's the ideological side. Then there's the financial

19:44

side, which is these gender hospitals

19:47

these these quack procedures generate

19:50

ton of money. And and so it's not just

19:52

the radical kind of communist leftist

19:54

out element. There's a cold hard cash

19:56

capitalist element here too, which is that

19:58

big corporations are gonna make a lot more money

20:00

if they if they convince people to take these

20:02

quote the words of public health administrators,

20:05

big moneymaker surgeries

20:08

and procedures that then get them on a

20:10

subscription plan of hormones and

20:13

fix me up procedures for the rest of their lives.

20:15

And so if you can start someone on that at twenty,

20:17

that makes some amount of money for big pharma.

20:19

What about if you can get them on at sixteen? What about

20:21

at twelve? What about at eight? That's more and more

20:23

money for a for a very expensive procedures for

20:25

much longer time. So

20:27

yeah, they're gonna go after them. because

20:30

it's what they believe in their own kind of perverted

20:33

views of the world, but it's also because there's big money

20:35

on the line as well. Speaking of dredging up

20:37

the past, There's a story that broke a couple

20:39

days ago about Georgia Republican senate candidate,

20:41

Hershel Walker. Also, you know,

20:44

sports legend, just absolute, you

20:46

know, OG

20:48

kind of very, very popular guy in the

20:50

culture. Now he's running for Senate as a Republican.

20:53

So here here are the

20:55

attacks on Hershel Walker. his

20:57

son came out and tweeted out

20:59

how angry he is at Hershaal and he doesn't

21:02

like Hershaal and doesn't think Hershaal should have run for Senate.

21:04

and Hershel's a bad father and he walked out

21:06

on them and he slept with all these women and he was

21:08

big, domineering, scary guy. Okay. So

21:10

that's That's from the sun. And then

21:13

the second attack, which I think is is

21:15

a bigger deal, is there's an allegation

21:17

published in the Daily Beast, which is a left wing rag

21:19

that says that Hirschfeld Walker paid

21:22

for an abortion in two thousand nine. And

21:24

they claim to have receipts and they claim to have

21:26

a check and they claim to have you

21:28

know, get well soon card from Hersha

21:30

Walker to this alleged baby mama.

21:33

But Hersha Walker is very pro life, so there

21:35

he is. He's a Hippocrit and he killed a baby. that's

21:37

what they're saying. Is it true

21:39

or not?

21:42

The closer to election day

21:44

that these kinds of stories and attacks

21:46

come out the less credibility I

21:49

think they have. This is what is called

21:51

an October surprise. You wait on some

21:53

really damning information until October.

21:56

in the hopes of killing the candidate. And

21:58

also because if the news comes out in October,

22:00

especially with the early voting, then there's no time

22:02

to fact check it. so they make these allegations.

22:04

What did they say? Trump colluded with the Russians.

22:06

He is a Russian stew. He he

22:08

urinated on a prostitute in Moscow with the most

22:10

ridiculous sort of things. And then yeah,

22:13

it comes out a couple of years later that that was

22:15

all completely bogus. But it doesn't matter

22:17

because the election takes place a month or two later.

22:19

So I am skeptical

22:22

of of all this stuff that

22:24

Herschel was this, you know, knuckle dragging

22:26

absolute terror of a father

22:29

who put his whole family's life at risk. And I you know,

22:31

I that I'm skeptical, maybe.

22:33

I I just don't know. I know that we've seen

22:36

In in other cases, virtual son seems to have

22:38

good relationship with his father and seems to be supportive.

22:40

So again, and I think it's really really

22:42

hideous of the lips and

22:44

the democrats to exploit the man's son this

22:46

way to turn the sun against the father. Absolutely

22:48

hideous. It would be hard for me to forgive

22:50

that. But then, what about the abortion?

22:53

I don't know. Again, don't believe it because it's coming

22:55

out so late. And

22:57

I saw other reports that Hershel Walker had had children

22:59

out of wedlock, and so again, I don't know. don't

23:02

pay attention to this tabloid stuff. But it would

23:04

be strange if you have kids at a wedlock already.

23:06

Why why you would then say, no, we can't have any

23:08

kids at a wedlock. I'm gonna pay for an abortion something.

23:10

That to me is a little incoherent. But again,

23:13

putting all of that aside. Let's

23:15

say it were true. Let's say on the very

23:17

slight chance it were true. Obviously, that's a terrible

23:20

sin. Obviously, the guy should

23:22

should go confess his sins. I

23:24

hope he's repented. I hope that he's sincerely

23:27

pro life. But when it

23:29

comes down to how I would vote, if

23:31

I were citizen of Georgia, voting

23:33

on election day, and I were pro life, That's

23:36

no that's no question. That's a no brainer. Hersha

23:40

Walker is running on a pro life platform. Rafael

23:43

Warnecch is a radically pro abortion politician.

23:46

no matter what egregious sort of personal

23:49

sin is in Hershel Walker's past, even

23:51

if it did include an abortion, which again, I'm saying, I

23:53

don't Hirschfeld Walker denies it. I see

23:55

no reason to trust the Daily Beast over Hershel Walker.

23:57

But even if it were true, that's not a

23:59

that's not a hard decision for me. Okay.

24:01

In the one case, we get a guy who

24:04

maybe he's a Hippocrit or maybe he's not a Hippocrit.

24:06

Maybe he actually just, like all of us, has standards

24:08

and doesn't live up to them all the time.

24:12

AND HE IS PRO LIFE

24:14

AND WILL VOTE PRO LIFE AND SUPPORT'S LIFE

24:16

CAUSES AS PUBLIC FIGURE. OR I GOT THIS

24:18

CRADICAL SOCIALIST pro abortion guy wants

24:20

to kill all the babies. That's not hard for me. That's

24:22

not a difficult. So I don't know

24:24

that this attack

24:26

holy totally lands.

24:28

And

24:28

I don't see how it moves the needle.

24:30

People might be disappointed or they or

24:32

they if they even believe it at all,

24:34

they might just dismiss it. Hershel says that his fun

24:37

fundraisers went through the roof after this

24:39

attack came out because they see this being dishonest

24:41

and unfair. Either way, I don't see how this

24:43

really moves the needle for

24:44

warnock. in

24:45

Georgia. Speaking

24:48

of the past, this

24:50

is the status story. There have been a lot of

24:52

sad stories recently. This is one of the status

24:54

stories I've seen recently. Comes

24:57

from McDonald's, I actually This

24:59

was really weird timing because the story just broke

25:01

today, but last night, Was

25:04

it last night? I think it was or

25:07

two nights ago. I was I was getting

25:09

back from a speech. It was

25:11

two nights ago. I'm getting back from

25:13

a speech. And I

25:17

arrived late. I hadn't had dinner and I say, okay,

25:19

I'm getting little mac attack right now. I wanna get

25:21

a little double quarter pounder with cheese before I get

25:23

home. It's late. Elise has

25:25

already had her dinner. Plus, I can

25:27

sneak a little fast food, you know, and Elise is not looking.

25:29

Okay, great. So I I pull up and I see this

25:32

weird thing on the menu at McDonald's. It

25:34

says it's a I

25:36

forget what they called that there was some weird

25:39

co branding thing. And it looked it

25:41

looked like a happy meal, but it was

25:43

clearly for adults, and it said limited edition.

25:45

But it was that little box, you know, you used to get

25:47

for the happy meals. I

25:49

said, I don't know, whatever. Order my order pattern with cheese.

25:52

One home had a nice night.

25:55

I find out today McDonald's is

25:57

launching happy meals for adults.

26:00

They say, quote, we're taking one of the most

26:02

nostalgic McDonald's experiences and literally

26:04

repackaging it in a way. Literally. People

26:06

use that word literally way too much. Repackaging

26:09

it in a new way that's hyper relevant for

26:11

our adult fans. McDonald's USA

26:13

Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Tarik

26:16

Hassan, said in a press release. Everyone

26:18

remembers their first happy meal as a kid and

26:20

they can't sit still feeling as you

26:22

dug in to see what was inside. That little

26:24

red box could turn regular Tuesday into

26:26

the best day ever. And now we're reimagining

26:29

that experience in a whole new way this time

26:31

for adults. So what does it come with?

26:33

It's in a box, similar kind of box

26:36

and you open it up, instead of the tiny little

26:38

cheeseburger, it's a big mac because you're supposed to

26:40

be an adult now. And instead of the tiny little

26:42

drink, it's a big sized drink.

26:44

So the tiny little fries, it's bigger fries.

26:47

And there's a toy. There

26:50

it comes with a toy. because

26:52

you're an adult, but you're in a stat, you're

26:54

gonna go back and relive that experience. This is

26:57

so sad. Man, my generation

26:59

is so freaking sad. It's

27:01

the millennials are just it's just pathetic

27:04

because this generation just won't grow up.

27:09

Yeah, I like nostalgic things. Yeah, when I

27:11

think of the nineties. That that was fun,

27:13

nineties fashion, and boy, it was nice being a

27:15

kid in some ways. although don't forget nostalgia's

27:17

history after a few drinks. Okay? Wasn't really

27:19

the way you remember it. But okay, Why

27:24

do I need to pretend to be a kid again?

27:26

Why do millennials? Just

27:29

Why won't millennials grow up,

27:33

grow up, get married,

27:35

have kids, get a normal

27:38

job grow up,

27:41

man. Oh my gosh.

27:43

Well, come on, Michael. Don't be such a downer. You know it's

27:45

fun to relive your childhood. You know the crazy

27:47

part. I agree with that. It

27:50

is fun to relive your childhood. Do you know how you

27:52

relive your childhood in a normal way?

27:54

You have kids and then do things with them.

27:56

It so it saddens me so much

27:59

when I see my fellow millennials going

28:01

to Disney World. alone.

28:04

Alone. Not with kids. Not even forget,

28:07

let's say they can't have their own kids. Not even with their nieces

28:09

or nephews or no, nothing. they

28:11

go alone and they go on the rides themselves.

28:13

They're in their thirties. And

28:16

then they go What

28:18

do they do? They go and get the happy meal and they

28:21

they try to collect all the little toys so

28:23

they can put the toys next to their other toy collection

28:25

in their overgrown child dystopia.

28:28

Guys, grow up, man,

28:30

growing up is good. I know

28:32

we all have this nostalgia for our past.

28:34

Let me tell you something. Barring, you

28:36

know, certain years people have bad things

28:39

happen, traumas, and things. But if you

28:41

just I'm saying year over year, I think my life

28:43

has gotten better every single year in my life.

28:45

I love it. I look forward to the future I do not

28:47

fear getting old. I love it. I look

28:49

I wanna see my kids grow up. I wanna

28:52

wanna continue to do work that I find

28:54

important and I wanna build

28:56

a life with my family. I don't wanna

28:59

return to the freaking playpen and play

29:01

with little grimace toys and and

29:03

suck on my happy meal. Slurp

29:05

up a little, you know, Coca Cola and eat

29:07

a cheeseburger. Okay? It's You can do it

29:09

with your kids. It's this It reminds me of

29:12

that song. by Kenny Logans.

29:14

You know, do you know the song puke back to puke corner?

29:17

So help me. If you can,

29:19

I've got to get back and his whole thing about

29:21

he wrote it when he was graduating high school, how

29:23

he was lost in the woods and he's got to get

29:25

back to Poo Corner and what happened to Winnie the Poo

29:28

and all of his friends? I can't find them anymore.

29:30

and he's coming to terms with leaving childhood

29:32

and graduating high school and moving on

29:34

becoming an adult. He says, I just

29:36

want to get back to Pucor, but I can't. because

29:38

that's over now. I'm locked going a little further today

29:41

than I thought I could and, alright, I'm out

29:43

of here. Right? But then he revisits the song.

29:45

He writes, After he had a kid, he

29:47

he writes another stands and he says, you know,

29:50

I have made it back to Poo Corner because

29:52

I'm looking at my son right now

29:54

playing with my old little toys. But

29:57

we can't we don't do that as millennials. It's

29:59

just it's this generation of

30:01

completely stunted growth. And

30:03

it's really sad. And I I don't

30:06

know why. Was it a failure of our parents? Sure.

30:08

Blame your parents. Is it a failure of the economy?

30:10

Okay. Blame the economy. is it failure of this? Everybody

30:12

else's fault other than you're on? Okay. Fine. Blame whoever

30:15

you want. I'm just telling you guys, and

30:17

I'm preaching to the choir with you, but I'm telling the people

30:19

who are getting the adult happy meal growing

30:22

up is good. It's good. I know it's scary

30:24

and I know, you know, oh gosh, if I

30:26

get married, then won't be able to sleep with everyone

30:28

else. You're right. Oh, gosh. If I have

30:30

kids, I'll I'll have to be accountable

30:32

and responsible. Yes, you will. Oh,

30:34

that's scary. Yeah. It's scary. It's worth it.

30:37

growing up is worth it. When I was a child,

30:39

I ate happy meals. When I became an adult,

30:41

I put away childish things, and I bought

30:43

happy meals for my little kid. Okay? and

30:46

for me I buy double quarter pounders with cheese.

30:48

Speaking of childish behavior, Howard

30:51

Stern. Howard, you know,

30:53

shock shock, Howard Stern. has

30:57

just made headlines for leaving his house

30:59

for the first time in two years. First

31:03

time in two years, do you know why? COVID.

31:07

COVID. This is real.

31:10

I didn't believe this at first. Howard Bauchner:

31:12

Howard Stern has not had not left his

31:14

house for two years. He's

31:17

always been a germophobe, and

31:20

he is just deathly, neurotically afraid

31:22

of getting COVID. And so finally, some

31:24

of his celebrity friends

31:27

coaxed him out. He

31:29

he talked about this on on his show. He said,

31:32

I really had an exhausting weekend emotionally,

31:34

physically for the first time in two years I ventured

31:36

out of the house. It was too much for me.

31:38

It was too much. I haven't been

31:40

out in two years. He said Jimmy

31:42

Kimbell been urging him to come out. He said Kimbell came

31:45

over to visit him in and stern has been demanding

31:47

that whoever visits them, take COVID

31:49

tests before they come into the house and

31:52

the wife, Howard Stern's wife wanted to leave, but

31:54

Howard said no, no, He said,

31:56

I said to my wife before this dinner, I don't want to go. I'm

31:58

in a panic. I don't want to get COVID. He

32:02

said, Efitt, I know I'm being a

32:04

worst I know I'm cleaning up the language a little.

32:06

But for me, COVID is still going on and

32:08

I haven't left my house. I can't figure out how to integrate

32:11

myself. I've been locked up so long and

32:13

I haven't gotten COVID. I'm afraid I'll be the one

32:15

A hole who gets COVID and I'll die even though people

32:17

don't seem to be dying that much anymore he's still so afraid.

32:19

I know I know people like this. I

32:22

have friends and relatives who

32:24

still really

32:26

don't eat inside restaurants. they'll

32:29

try to eat outside. Even if it's blistering hot,

32:31

even if it's freezing cold, they just don't. They're just

32:33

too they're so neurotically

32:36

afraid. of COVID. And it's

32:38

the same thing. It's the same impulse. Howard

32:41

Stern is is experiencing that the millennials

32:43

who wanna buy the adult happy meal are experiencing.

32:46

It's just that

32:48

the refusal to

32:50

accept life as it

32:52

is. that

32:53

you're born and

32:55

you live and

32:57

you die. And time

32:59

moves on. and we live in time and

33:01

space and you don't get to freeze time forever

33:04

and circumstances change, people

33:07

get sick. and time moves on and you

33:09

gotta make good use of your time. Think

33:11

about Howard Stern, oh my gosh, he's lost

33:13

two years of his life. Two

33:15

years fit. Let's say Howard Stern lives to

33:18

ninety years old.

33:21

He'll he'll really have lived for

33:24

eighty eight years. Right? Those two

33:26

years, he's been hunkered down like

33:28

a complete maniac. When

33:31

I think about this with the overgrown children millennials,

33:34

who still wanna you know, who are still shocked

33:36

when they if they pay their own cell phone plan,

33:38

which is infrequent

33:41

because a lot of them are on their family's cell

33:43

phone plans, But if they pay their own bills every

33:45

now and again, they'll say, I'm adulting. I'm adulting.

33:47

So they deserve a cookie for for doing

33:49

things that that thirty year olds are expected

33:52

to do. No. And you

33:54

just think about, okay, they live to be ninety

33:56

years old, but emotionally, they're still sixteen.

33:58

That's sad. They've missed a

33:59

lot of their life. Yeah,

34:01

they've missed the hard parts and the suffering and

34:03

the prospect of sickness and the

34:05

the risk of death even. They've missed those

34:08

things. because they've been so coddled

34:10

and they've been so so so cautious

34:13

and and they've been so afraid to to actually live.

34:16

But they miss life too. That's what they've also

34:18

missed. That's not good. We need

34:20

to we need to return to some semblance

34:22

of normal. We need to we

34:25

need to recognize sickness

34:28

happens, suffering happens. It's okay, responsibilities

34:30

happen. You're not gonna get to sleep as much when

34:32

you get married and have kids. You're not you have to work a

34:34

little harder. You're gonna have to make a little bit more money. Okay, that's

34:36

fine. You're gonna die someday. That's true. That's the way

34:39

it is. Just don't Why would you live in constant

34:41

fear of that? If you live, this

34:43

is a trick of the devil, but if if you live

34:45

constantly harping on the past, whether

34:48

out of anxiety or out of nostalgia

34:51

and or if you live on the future and trying

34:53

to protect that future so you never get sick and

34:55

you never die or anything, you completely miss

34:57

the present, which is the only place where you can

34:59

actually live. You only live in the

35:01

present. So either way,

35:03

you spend all your life in the thinking about the past

35:05

daydreaming or daydreaming about the future.

35:08

You're not living in the present. grow

35:11

up, not

35:12

you. You know what you're doing. But these

35:14

crazy people out there, they got to grow up.

35:17

One

35:17

part of growing up is you start shaving. This

35:19

Monday, we will be celebrating one of my absolute

35:22

favorite holidays and one of the left's

35:24

least favorite holidays. Columbus Day, And

35:26

while many woke companies will ignore or

35:28

attempt to rebrand this holiday, Jeremy's

35:31

razors will honor it with

35:33

an historic sale. From

35:35

now through October twelfth, you can purchase a founder

35:37

series shave kit for forty percent off plus

35:39

free shipping. That's a one percent discount for each

35:41

of the forty Christopher Columbus statues that have

35:44

been removed or destroyed in this country by

35:46

illiterate buffoons. It's

35:48

time to stand up and celebrate history

35:50

in defiance of those who wish to cancel it.

35:52

Stop giving your money to woke razor companies

35:55

that hate you. Give it to Jeremy instead.

35:57

Navigate your way to jeremy's

35:59

razors dot com. Enjoy a sale

36:02

for the ages. Speaking

36:05

of returning to normal, I mentioned

36:07

yesterday that Elon

36:09

Musk is looks like

36:11

he's going to actually be buying Twitter. What

36:14

that means is, the

36:17

only thing that forget about we can voice our

36:20

views, we conservatives, finally have

36:22

a shot. Forget about our follower counts for you.

36:25

It means that Trump can return.

36:28

Elon Musk has already said, he said, I think

36:31

banning Trump was a mistake because

36:33

an alienated a large part of country and did

36:35

not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having

36:37

a voice. He said the decision was morally

36:40

bad. So it's not just that it was tactically

36:42

sort of bad. He said it's morally bad. And

36:44

he says that he would reverse the permanent

36:47

ban. Now, this is complicated

36:50

because Trump has said that even if

36:52

the ban is lifted, he won't go back to Twitter.

36:54

He'll remain on his own platform, which is

36:56

truth social. And presumably, when

36:58

he signed on to truth social, it included

37:01

some provisions in the contract that say he

37:03

can't go back. to Twitter or something. Right? because

37:05

that would that would really gut truth social and

37:07

Trump doesn't want to do that. So

37:09

what's he going to do? He's in a really tough position

37:12

right now. This is one of

37:14

the toughest political positions Trump is

37:16

in. The the only one that's tougher

37:18

is the COVID vaccines. because

37:20

Donald Trump did allow Fauci to

37:22

have more of a platform. Trump did

37:24

not reopen the country after Easter

37:26

as he had sort of dangled out there which I think

37:28

would have been amazing. He did

37:32

get us the vaccines, which he has gotten a lot

37:34

of credit for, but the vaccines have a lot of problems.

37:36

And than there were vaccine mandates, not because

37:38

of Trump. Trump didn't wanna mandate them, but then the mandates

37:41

came in later. And so Trump is in this

37:43

tough position where a lot of his base

37:45

myself included hates the lockdowns and doesn't

37:47

like the vaccines. And he

37:50

was one of the defenders of the vaccines. scenes, albeit

37:53

not the manning. So that's it's just a that's a tricky

37:55

one for him to navigate. And then this one is tricky

37:57

for him to navigate because cause

38:00

If he refuses to get back on Twitter,

38:03

it looks like he's just privileging his private

38:05

business interests over his

38:07

political life.

38:08

It could look that way.

38:10

and he would be

38:13

limiting his reach because people just

38:15

don't use truth social. The only reason people use truth

38:17

social is to see what Trump is saying and then they share it

38:19

to other social media forms. So

38:22

I read a bunch of truth social posts,

38:24

but I read it. I I just really

38:26

read what Trump writes because I I'm just interested

38:28

in what he has to say. So that's

38:32

what happens if he just stays on truth social. But if

38:34

he goes over to Twitter, one, it cuts truth

38:36

social. right, so this company just goes

38:38

away. And two,

38:43

it might be seen as though he's going

38:45

back and playing by their rules. he

38:47

said he wouldn't do it and then he did it anyway.

38:49

Now where do I come down on this? I want

38:51

him to have his Twitter again. He should do it.

38:53

They don't want him to have Twitter. He

38:56

will have much broader reach if he's on Twitter.

38:58

I want him to go back on Twitter. I think it

39:01

it is likely to help him and his prospects.

39:03

in twenty twenty four, which are still very,

39:05

very strong. He's atop the heap by a long

39:08

shot. But especially in Florida,

39:10

desantis now has a lead over Trump in a

39:12

perspective twenty twenty four presidential race. I

39:14

think in the middle of the country, Trump is still

39:17

just so much stronger and better

39:19

known than DeSantis is. DeSantis

39:21

just hasn't been around that long. Obviously, he

39:23

doesn't have the name recognition that go goes along

39:25

with being a celebrity for forty years and

39:27

the president for one term. But

39:30

still, if you're Trump, you gotta be a little worried

39:32

about that. And so And then the most

39:34

important reason I think Trump should go back on Twitter, I

39:37

would find it very entertaining. I would love that.

39:39

I would love it. I would get to retweet it

39:41

a lot, and so strongly

39:43

encourage him to do that. Speaking

39:46

of people running for president and Trump's prospects,

39:48

Nikki Haley is headed out

39:50

on tour with her new book. If you want

39:53

something done, leadership lessons

39:55

from bold women. And as

39:57

she's planning to campaign for bunch of Republican

39:59

candidates ahead of the midterm elections in November

40:01

while she's on this book tour, and

40:05

she has intimated that she's interested in

40:07

running for president. She's been a little unclear

40:10

about would she run? Will she not run? She

40:12

says she run if Trump runs, but then she's kind of positioning

40:14

herself to run, you know

40:16

she wants to run. So

40:19

what does this tell me? Whatever

40:22

it means about Nikki Haley's personal political

40:24

career, it tells me that Trump

40:26

is not quite as secure in the nomination

40:28

as as a

40:31

lot of people think that he is. And

40:33

the reason I say that is not

40:36

because of what the politicians are saying, virtually all

40:38

the politicians are saying, that

40:40

they will not run if Trump runs.

40:43

And

40:43

yet they're all doing the sort of

40:45

things that candidates do as they

40:47

prepare to run. Pompeo seems to be preparing

40:50

a presidential campaign. Mike Penn seems

40:52

to be preparing a presidential campaign. Nikki

40:54

Haley seems to be preparing presidential campaign.

40:56

Tim Scott's publisher gotten a lot of trouble. the

40:58

publisher wrote on a on a book flap

41:00

that was leaked that he is preparing

41:03

presidential campaign. Tim Scott also

41:05

is doing the things that people would expect a

41:07

candidate to do. So that's just four people right

41:09

there. Do I think that those four people could beat Trump?

41:11

No, I'm not saying that. But politicians

41:15

Politicians whose names you know

41:18

are very good at politics. They

41:21

have made it to the very top of the heat. They are the varsity

41:23

politicians. Okay? They are division

41:26

one politicians. And

41:28

so the very fact that they are

41:30

positioning themselves in this way tells

41:33

me that they, various geopolitical

41:35

observers, at least think that there is

41:37

some serious chance that Donald Trump

41:39

either doesn't run or isn't

41:42

strong enough to just completely dominate the

41:44

field in twenty twenty four. More

41:46

reasons for Trump if he is going to run,

41:49

to really start to get a little bit more aggressive

41:51

about twenty twenty four. Now who's

41:53

gonna run on the other side? People have been saying

41:55

there's no way that Joe Biden runs. Right? You

41:57

Kamala Harris is practically already

41:59

running for president, just trying to not successfully.

42:02

Pete Buttigieg, same thing. He is basically

42:04

running for president already, and he and Kamala

42:06

are trying to shift one another. speaking

42:08

of sharp objects, missus Tomahawk, senator

42:11

Elizabeth Warren, clearly wants to

42:13

run for president again. And then Gavin Newsom is

42:15

running TV ads in Florida. So he is

42:17

running for president. And he's saying you won't

42:19

run if Biden runs, but again, he he is

42:21

beginning a campaign.

42:24

Joe Biden says he's running. There

42:27

was just another story came out from Al

42:29

Sharpton. Al Sharpton,

42:31

Barry plugged in, Democratic extortion

42:33

artist, he's been around for many decades. Al

42:36

Sharpton says that Joe Biden

42:38

told him, quote, I'm going to do it

42:40

again as they posed

42:42

for a shot in the Roosevelt room. He

42:44

says, I'm going. I'm

42:47

I'm doing it. I'm running for president. So

42:49

again, maybe it's just bluster. Maybe he doesn't wanna

42:52

be seen as a an

42:54

empty suit.

42:55

lame Duck. But

42:58

if I'm Joe Biden, I'm looking around and I'm

43:00

thinking, look, I hate all of these people. I hate

43:02

Kamala. He hates Kamala Harris.

43:05

By convaleres, whose presidential campaign,

43:08

the best moment of it was when she called Joe Biden

43:11

of racist who supported segregation. So,

43:14

Kamala, hey, it's her guts, doesn't want her to be

43:16

president. Newsom, I

43:18

don't know what you think is about Newsom. Bouda

43:20

Jed, you beat out Bouda Jed on the that much

43:22

about Buttigieg. Buttigieg also is not gonna be president.

43:25

I don't see him running any or I don't see him

43:27

winning anytime soon. And

43:29

then Elizabeth Warren, I don't think he cares

43:31

for her very much. The party he doesn't

43:33

really seem to like. And so It's

43:36

possible that Joe Biden actually runs

43:39

again, which would be freaking

43:42

hilarious. It would be so funny.

43:45

This guy is bad now. This guy has got

43:47

no record to run on now. He's humiliates

43:50

himself daily. the

43:52

presidential race is two years away. Come

43:55

on, man. Come on, Jack. And

43:58

what's he going to run on? Things

44:00

just things just keep getting worse. Marsha

44:02

Blackburn had a great, great little monologue

44:05

here. Just in in just one minute,

44:07

she distilled everything wrong with

44:09

the Biden energy policy.

44:11

What we know is the White

44:13

House wants to say Well, this is

44:15

a nuanced issue. There

44:18

is nothing nuanced about being

44:20

intentional in what you're doing.

44:23

Day one, declaring an

44:26

end to the Keystone pipeline, ending

44:29

offshore, putting a million

44:31

acres in Alaska out of reach,

44:33

no new leases ending fracking,

44:37

drawing down the strategic petroleum

44:39

reserve that a billion barrels a day

44:41

with no plans I mean, a

44:43

million barrels a day, no plans

44:45

to refill this. NO PLANS.

44:48

SO OF COURSE, THE PRICE IS GOING

44:50

UP AND THE INTERESTING THING OPPEC

44:53

WILL VOTE TOMORROW. about

44:55

whether or not they want to

44:57

limit production, and

44:59

we have to bear in mind. We have no

45:01

leverage with OPEC. Yep. The

45:03

OPEC nations combined together

45:06

are one of the top five holders

45:08

of US debt We have no

45:10

leverage.

45:11

And those price is fine. It could go right

45:13

back up. So succinct,

45:15

really, really articulate. Marshall

45:18

Blackburn really just nails him right there. And these

45:20

are urgent issues. Okay? These

45:23

are issues I think that will matter in the midterms.

45:25

You know, I'm as much of a culture warrior as

45:27

they get. and I frequently point out

45:29

the democrats transiting the kids and turning the freaking

45:31

frogs gay and I'm I'm I'm totally

45:33

into the cultural issues. At

45:36

this point in the campaign, I think

45:38

the cultural issues are energizing the right

45:40

people, and that's all there. for

45:43

the people who are not paying a lot of attention

45:45

to politics who were sort of sitting

45:47

on the fence or who were not particularly partisan

45:49

or ideological. These are

45:51

real urgent issues. We

45:53

are heading into winter. Gas prices

45:56

are brutally high right now. energy

45:58

costs generally brutally

45:59

high. It's about to get cold. It's going to be a

46:02

long cold winter. People are going to need to heat their

46:04

homes. Okay.

46:04

I'm thinking the kind of voter I'm thinking about right

46:07

now is that guy the other day when

46:10

after the hurricane in Florida DeSantis was

46:12

going around doing his kind of reconstruction tour

46:14

And this guy, he's

46:17

wearing a white beater. I think he goes, man, you know,

46:19

I'm look, I'm a Democrat and everything, but I'm voting

46:21

to Sanders. That guy is good. He showed up here. I

46:23

him, I listen, I'm voting to Sandoz. And he didn't

46:25

really give much of a reason why. Other than

46:27

Yay, he's kinda competent. He shows up. He cares,

46:29

man. These other these other guys are not competence.

46:31

I'll vote to Sandoz. That

46:33

guy, that voter is who Republicans

46:36

have to reach. And there

46:38

is beyond all the ideological issues.

46:40

That's why the only thing Democrats trying to talk about

46:42

now is abortion. But abortion

46:44

doesn't really motivate all that many

46:46

people, pro life or pro choice, it

46:49

it doesn't really motivate people all that much, but

46:51

they're really trying to make this this ideological battle

46:53

and the Republicans are the fascists and the threats to

46:55

democracy and and evil,

46:58

terrible, no good, rotten conspiracy theorists.

47:00

And I I think there's a really

47:02

important argument that the Republicans have

47:04

to make, which is just like, yeah. Okay. all that's BS

47:06

or whatever. Talk about those issues if you want.

47:09

Also, everything that the

47:11

Democrats are touching is turning to

47:13

absolute ash. Okay.

47:16

Everything that they're touching.

47:19

Before actually, before we get I wanna get to the member block.

47:21

Before we get to it though, Pete Buttigieg.

47:25

Totally sums this up. Poor Pete Buttigieg. Obviously,

47:27

he wants to run for president. He is

47:29

the

47:30

the transportation

47:31

secretary. He goes on TV

47:33

because he's been trying get everyone to buy Tesla. You gotta

47:35

buy electric cars. Go buy electric vehicles. That's

47:37

gonna solve the you can't afford seven

47:40

dollar a gallon gasoline will buy a fifty thousand

47:42

dollar Tesla. What? What's up? Well, you guys are

47:44

such dummies. Just go out there and buy a hundred thousand

47:46

dollar car. because because you can't

47:48

afford to put gas in your ninety eight

47:51

Chevy. Okay. Yeah. That's a great idea.

47:53

Peabody, Judge. Thanks. He he now

47:55

after the rolling blackouts, after the

47:57

threats to the the electrical grid in especially

47:59

in the liberal states, he was asked, okay.

48:02

Really are you suggesting electrical vehicles? That's

48:04

THAT'S REALLY THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE FUTURE HE SAYS

48:06

ABSOLUTELY NO TIME LIKE THE PRESIDENT.

48:08

MUCH OF THE POWER WAS OUT

48:10

ACROSS HALF OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR A WHY much

48:13

of it is resumed, sir. But it

48:15

did make some folks think, boy,

48:17

these electric vehicles that are being

48:19

pushed between what happened in Florida

48:22

and the grid that was compromised to the point

48:24

where California governor Newsom wanted

48:27

people to cool it for a while on

48:29

when and how often they charge

48:31

the EVs. Do you think this

48:33

reminds folks that we're not ready

48:36

or the EVs are not ready for prime time?

48:39

Well, actually, I think this is a great example

48:41

of one of the many benefits of of those tools.

48:43

You know, I was just at the Detroit Auto Show couple

48:46

weeks ago, one of the things that was very impressive

48:48

about some of the vehicles that we saw, including

48:51

the, for example, the pickup trucks that

48:53

are on the market, entering onto the market right now,

48:56

that their power can actually

48:58

flow both waves. So in an extreme

49:00

event, from a neighborhood resiliency

49:02

perspective, they can actually work basically

49:04

like a generator, except that you don't have

49:06

to have diesel ready for them. What they're doing

49:09

is they're using the battery capacity to

49:11

to power a home or and and in that sense

49:13

could be very useful in a scenario like

49:16

this. You've got to give Pete Buttigieg

49:18

credit for cleverness he's got

49:21

that just sort of Harvard,

49:23

McKinsey, Smarmy,

49:25

little answer for everything that's not

49:27

totally convincing, but it's at least articulate

49:29

enough. She's like, actually, you know, it's really great.

49:32

As the power grids are failing in the blue states,

49:34

it's actually really great to have an electric

49:36

car because you can't charge it, but the

49:38

car can charge your toaster or whatever,

49:41

your cellphone. So

49:42

it works in reverse. Yeah. It can work

49:44

in reverse. The problem is the car's dead.

49:46

Yeah. The the problem is during

49:49

the last power grid failures in

49:51

California, people couldn't

49:53

power their car. So they didn't have any power

49:55

in electric car. The car was out of

49:58

power. That's why they had to plug in

50:01

dirty, filthy fossil fuel generators

50:03

into the car to charge the car. Yeah.

50:06

It's great. If the car were charged,

50:08

you could use it to charge your other things in a blackout.

50:10

It's like saying, if I had some ham, I could have

50:12

ham and eggs, if I had some eggs. Yeah. It's a lot

50:14

of ifs, buddy. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts,

50:17

we'd all have them merry Christmas. Okay. The rest of the

50:19

show is continuing now. You do not

50:21

50:23

50:25

got the real headlines from the week. There's

50:27

one fake headline in there. The producers have sent these

50:29

to me. You have to guess. And then I have

50:31

to guess. which the fake headline is.

50:33

I've been on a roll so far. We will see

50:36

how it is going over at the member

50:38

blocks either.
