And my prediction here is that everything that the media is now going to say about Iran's going to close the Strait of Hormuz and energy prices are going to go crazy and all these, none of this is going to come to pass. That isn't to say there won't be little bumps here and there in the market. And it's not to say one random thing, you know, bad thing might happen to a ship or something like that. But Iran has basically, their military has basically been decimated. So they can keep doing PR stunts and having the second general of the fourth command of the third wing of the Iranian army show up on MSNBC. They can keep doing do that and make his threats and say, we're going to let things through if we like you and not if we don't. But it just is utterly irrelevant.

You know, I'm getting, I'm doing every Fox show. They bring me on live. I can say whatever I want. I sometimes go on Bethbell's show in my bathing suit and I'm doing shots at tequila. Meanwhile, zero invites from MSNBC and CNN.

Now, as a private company, you know my feelings on this. Twitter can do what they want. But did the government put pressure on Twitter to boot her? And are they ever going to let her back?

So you have to understand that liberalism, as it's presented today, when people talk about the libtards and all that stuff, what they're really addressing is socialists and collectivists and the progressive wing of this thing. And I think what happened was good liberals, what's the deal with liberals? Well, liberals are open-minded. Possibly, they don't like seeing other voices and all of that. And liberals basically want to be liked, I think, in a way that conservatives actually don't, which is a credit to conservatives in a weird way. And I think what the progressives saw was they saw the weak underbelly. Like, picture it's a ship. Like, liberalism is a ship, and then the progressives are swimming underneath, and then they see a little hole. And what that hole was, was tolerance. That liberals always want to be tolerant. So the progressives got in there, and then by tricking everybody, pretending that they're tolerant all the time. We love black people, we love gay people, we love Muslims, we love trans people, which, of course, they love none of those people. They only love the ones that behave, not the ones that. But they saw the weak underbelly of liberalism, and they just went in there and they ripped the whole thing apart. And that's why there are no liberals anymore.

You know, there's Bill Maher as a liberal, and I can't tell him a liberal. I still consider myself a liberal, but by any estimation, I mean, really, the phrase that I like now, now that I've been being interviewed a lot, I would consider myself a modern conservative.

It feels like there were no rules anymore. I suspect some of the rules and decency is going to come back after a Trump second term. I think 2024, actually, I know it sounds crazy to even talk about that, but I think that's when things reset.

I suspect some of the rules and decency is going to come back after a Trump second term. I think 2024, actually, I know it sounds crazy to even talk about that, but I think that's when things reset.

But I think after eight years of Trump, I actually think there's so much rich intellectual diversity on the right, whether it's to be conservatives or more traditional religious conservatives or more libertarian ones. Rich cool thinkers like intellectual. I think the right is such a rich thing going on right now.

In 2024, they are going to put up a seriously cool list of candidates that would be a little more traditionally presidential than Trump. Trump will have done his job, basically. And I think they'll get Crenshaw in and a bunch of people that we don't even know about now, but they'll know what they're talking about and they'll know why they believe what they believe.

And what I realized is, you know, Trump is basically, he's part businessman, part politician now. But really what underlies all that is he wants to be a stand-up comic, I think, more than anything else in a lot of ways.

So, anyway, so Trump goes up there, and then for the first time, when you see him speak, actually, I really put the whole thing together about how the media works with him. Because he goes up there and he starts talking about wind power, right? And he goes, nobody knows more than wind power than me. I've been studying wind power my whole life. The whole crowd laughs. Like, he obviously means it as a joke. And then actually, he laid out some, he went back to Prompter and he starts, you know, saying some interesting information about wind power. But I turned to David and I was like, I know that the headline tonight is going to be, Donald Trump claims he knows more about wind power than anybody. And lo and behold, the articles come out. And it's like he's just, you know, as a meme guy yourself, it's like he's just punking the hell out of it.

And it was very obvious to me that it was like, these people love each other. You know, whatever the public persona or version of this is, it was like they love each other.

He didn't want to be president. Like, that's pretty obvious to me.
