'The View's' Sunny Hostin Didn't Realize How Condescending She Sounded Lecturing Her Audience

26:46Black owner just wanted to serve some good old soul food. Everyone likes a little soul food. Well, look what happened.

26:54The doors deadbolted, the alarm system on with multiple cameras inside, and none of that deterred this burglar seen here on surveillance video from breaking into newly opened Soul Vibes signature. You violated a business that's just been opened literally two days. The owner and chef Larisha Baker heartbroken and the damage done. Chicago police say the suspect pried open the front door at the corner of Hubbard and Wells and River North around 4.30 Tuesday morning. Using the restaurant's own knives to cut cables and wires, you see the suspect smash open the cash register by slamming out on the ground.

27:31Money flew everywhere. He took a few hundred dollars. He took some liquor, but he broke our systems. He broke our internet. He broke our wires. He broke everything that we needed to be successful for you. You want empathy, Democrats? How about empathy for her? She's a small business owner, chef. I have no doubt that was her life's dream. The restaurant looked beautiful from the outside. but because you guys, instead of having proper amounts of empathy for decent people, because you have suicidal empathy for the bad guys, for the people who come to our country illegally, the people who break into stores, the people who rape young girls, the people who want to genitally mutilate children, because your empathy is aimed at those people with seemingly no limits, you end up destroying the lives of the good people, right?

28:17So nobody, no Democrat in Congress is going to say a word about that lovely woman who just was trying to accomplish the American dream. And that's what suicidal empathy is. You will fall on the sword that will not only destroy your life, but ultimately you do it long enough. And when it scales, it will literally destroy the entire country. Let's continue in Chicago. And by the way, we did, I was correct. The numbers were pretty good in Chicago this week and only one person was shot and killed. 12 people were shot, but that's Chicago. Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, it's a hell of a town. Here is what's going on on the famous blue line in Chicago.

28:55Looks like a great, if you're out and you've just got to get across town, this looks good.

29:20So suicidal empathy, don't properly police, don't arrest people for doing drugs, be nice to everybody. And then what does it do? Well, the services get degraded. By the way, a version of this is coming to New York as New York will give, New York City will give free buses. And you know, they don't already, subways were not intended to be free, but people just jumped the turnstile and they've decided they won't arrest you or anything. Then where are are all of the homeless people going to go? If you're a homeless person or a drug addict or a generalized lunatic or a crazy person, murder a rapist, instead of staying upstairs where it might be chilly or something, you might just wanna take, I don't know, six seats on a bench, build a little home, do your meth, and disturb the family that's trying to go see, I don't know what's on Broadway these days, Lion King six or something.

30:08But so suicidal empathy. They say they're doing something good and they destroy everything. And now let's continue with that theory. You know Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley is the young guy who's got one of these freaking things, got a phone, decided to figure out what's going on in Minneapolis and Minnesota, uncovered billions of dollars in fraud, which ultimately has led to Tim Walz not even running for reelection. And there's just a massive, massive scandal happening there. Here he went to Los Angeles, where I used to live, and checked out some of the local tourist spots. Now, if he's blue, he's not responsive, his color's gone, he'd be like a blue, gray, purple color, then you'd know he's overdosing.

30:51Okay. So the most important thing is to hit him with Narcan. It doesn't matter how much Narcan you give him. You know, if you got three in here, give him all three and rescue breaths. Let me try to take a slightly other tack on this. I don't mean even to be sarcastic or silly or funny, but anyways, that guy is dead or dying. the young guy there is obviously a volunteer who um who has an awful lot of empathy and he doesn't want to see these people just die on the streets so he then has to teach people how to use narcan which is basically i think it's something that they basically have to like jam into their chest isn't narcan what they did in pulp fiction to the guy yeah like they jam it into their chest it like breaks you know it wakes up the entire system basically but you can only do it a couple times and most likely that guy will end up dead and you can see all the other people in the background Now, how did this happen?

31:38Again, it's suicidal empathy. It's Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, I mean, he doesn't even have any human empathy, but it's the notion of we will not stop anyone from doing anything ever. We will allow for all of this. And then remember, who was it a couple months ago? Was it Karen Bass when there were some riots in LA? And she was asked about it. She's the mayor of Los Angeles. And she was like, well, it's just in a very controlled area of four blocks downtown. And a lot of people don't live there. It's like, okay, so just concede downtown Los Angeles to the crazy people. So everything that these people do, we've now illustrated it on several fronts, whether it's gender, whether it's crime, whether it's drugs, public transportation, everything they do, suicidal empathy is baked in because most people, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

32:30Most of these people have good intentions, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the road is still taking you to hell. Now, interestingly, even in a place as deeply corrupt and backwards as California, occasionally something decent happens. This is Fox's Bill Malusian reporting how a federal judge, so this isn't fully Cali, but it happened in Cali, a federal judge has blocked California from enforcing a law that wasn't gonna allow, that was gonna basically stop ICE officers from wearing masks. And Brett, within just the last hour or so, we've learned that a federal judge based in Los Angeles has just blocked the state of California from enforcing its new law, which sought to ban ICE agents from wearing masks in the state.

33:11The judge, who is a Clinton appointee, argued that that new law violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, and it singles out federal agents, which ultimately discriminates against them. We'll send it back to you. Well, I have to say that's nice to see the Supremacy Clause. We've been talking about that a lot over here. And yes, the federal government does have jurisdiction when it comes to immigration and deportations. And the same Democrats who wanted everybody to be masked because somebody had a cough a couple of years ago now want officers whose families are getting doxxed and who are being threatened to not be masked.

33:49So good on that federal judge. It's nice to see that something decent can happen in California every now and again. But let's shift as long as we're doing national politics. We started in Kentucky. We went all the way to California. Now let's come a little closer this way. We'll go back to Texas, where Lady Eyelashes, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, is running for Senate. And I thought this was quite an interesting interview that she did because here she admits that lying is absolutely necessary and something she will continue to do when it's politically expedient. But, you know, when I see the moment on the House where you seem to accuse Republican Lee Zeldin of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, but it seemed like if it was not the same person, I wonder, like, is there times in which the rhetoric goes too far?

34:33Are there times in which you should say, you know, maybe I messed that one up? No. Not in this environment. I don't. I think that, you know, we are really in uncharted territory. So I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency necessary, and so that's why it won't give an inch. Correct. You know, it's interesting because that's the most perfect example of the ends justify the means, right? You will do whatever you have to do, no matter how profoundly dishonest or corrupt or evil it is to get what you want, which really, I would say at this point is baked into the Democrat system. Everything that the Democrats are doing, none of it has anything to do with logic or reason or truth.

35:10It has to do with attaining power. So what the guy was referencing there was, you may remember it a couple months ago, when she went on at the Congress floor and she said that Lee Zeldin took money from Jeffrey Epstein. Except it turned out it was another Jeffrey Epstein. It wasn't Jeffrey Epstein, the human trafficking, whatever the high hell that guy is, right? It was a different guy. And he just says, well, should you have done that? And she says, yes, we live in a crazy time. So yes, I can lie about who's taken money from the human trafficking pedophile. Like what? What lady is there? Is there?

35:45There's just no there there. There is no bottom to this endless pit with you people. However, I don't want to be too critical of her because she is an intellectual, at least according to her. I've always been someone who has been intellectual. I was top 10 percent of my class at Texas Southern my first year in law school. I was always very much kind of digging in and wanted to understand. I was always the person that would bring the receipts and wouldn't back down. So, you know... You were always clapping back, too? I was always... I was always... Yeah, there was always a pushback. If I feel like I am right on something, I have always been very clear about it.

36:24Guys, guys, she was in the top 10 % freshman year at Texas Southern University. We did a little checking. Texas Southern University has a 96 % acceptance rate. If you are breathing, they will let you in. So in her first year of a university that everyone who applies gets into, she was in the top 10 % of her class. My God, open a menza chapter, lady. You are incredible. Here's more on Crockett and voter IDs. There was a benefit to shining a light on what it was that they were trying to do in the dark in Texas. So unfortunately, we've seen our numbers fall now that they have these voter restrictions in place.

37:14But I do think it's important for us to have the conversation. Did you catch what she just said right there? I didn't set it up with too much. their numbers fell in the election, meaning Democrat numbers fell in the election when there were voter restrictions in place. You're never going to guess what voter restriction she's talking about. Having to show an ID. Hello, I'm Bob. I'm Bob Gunderson. I'd like to vote in this election. Sir, can you prove who you are? Yes, here's my ID. It says Bob Gunderson. where that name's coming from. Wait, Bob Gunderson. Wasn't Bob Gunderson the guy in Groundhog Day that he kept bumping into on the street that he went to high school with?

38:01What was that guy's name? Ted Gunderson? What was the guy's name in Groundhog Day, the high school friend that he keeps bumping into right before he steps in the water? I'm something Gunderson. All right, we're gonna get back to that in just a second. They're working on it. Okay, here is, well, the point is, she's upset that Democrat numbers go down. Ned Ryerson. Ned Ryerson, Bob Gunderson. What are you gonna do? But the point is, when they put what she calls voter restrictions, also known as IDs, Democrat numbers go down. Curious. Let's go all the way back. Time machine it, people. 2008, here's Barack Obama admitting that voter fraud does happen.

38:39And it's on both sides. I would just like to know what you can say to reassure us that this election will not be rigged or stolen. So I want to be honest. It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeered around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have too. Whenever people are in power, they have this tendency to try to tilt things in their direction. Hey, I'm Dan Harris, host of the 10 % Happier podcast. When life gets a little rough, sometimes we feel this overwhelming urge to fix everything, which really is impossible. So I've got a new series coming up called Reset, where we're going to help you find simple, practical, surgical ways to reset key areas of your life.

39:26The lineup is incredible. We've got people like Gretchen Rubin, Laurie Santos, Atul Gawande, and The Daily Show's Josh Johnson. 10 % Happier with Dan Harris. Join the party wherever you get your podcasts. Well, that's quite interesting, Barack Obama. All the way back in 2008, you're saying that Republicans do it and Democrats do it. There's some monkeying around, that they're fiddling around with elections. Well, that's quite interesting. So maybe you'd want people to have identification so that there could be less monkeying, unless you're for the monkeying, because it's the only way your party can win elections at this point.

40:01I'm pretty sure that's where we're at. Let me show you something interesting as it pertains to these elections, because it's basic stuff, which is why yesterday, we have the printer here, I tried to auction off a printer here to a black, I don't need it, I don't need it, to a black and or rural person, because the Democrats keep saying black people and people in rural areas can't get IDs. We tried to offer it up. I put it up on the Twitter machine. We put it on the show. We did not get one person saying, Dave, I need that printer, okay? So we're trying, we are trying. But the point is, it's so dumb.

40:35It is so dimwitted and driveless to say you cannot get an ID because we all get it and we are all able to do things like this as Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma points out. Taking away the rights of people who might not have access to... Okay, you can't get a bank account. You can't get a job. You can't lie. You can't get a loan. You can't buy tobacco. You can't buy alcohol. You can't even sign up for government benefits unless you have an ID. But somehow, when it comes to voting, it is going to limit the ability for people to vote, or they may not have an ID. And you're going, really? but these are the same people that wanted to move alcohol and tobacco from 18 to 21, and you had to show a proof of ID.

41:21I don't get it. You can't argue with crazy, but that's exactly what they sound like. Well, you do get it, actually, which is that they are trying to import new voters and make it and overwhelm the system so that no one will know who voted there. They want to monkey around with the election, and that's the only reason. Otherwise, none of this makes sense at any level. If it made sense, if they truly believed it, let's say, let's say Schumer really believed that it was Jim Crow 2.0 and that there were quite literally millions of people who somehow were completely outside of the system, but as Mullen points out, they get benefits and everything else.

41:54But let's say any of that was true. What would be the sane thing to do right now? Wouldn't the sane thing to do would be a national drive to get people IDs? Wouldn't there be one great Democrat out there, some Democrat with money, a Soros type, who would be like, you know what? I will put$100 million into getting all of the people who don't have IDs, IDs. But note, they never float that idea. That's never put out there. You may remember an interview I did about, gosh, it's about five years ago now, with Nikki Haley, who when she was governor of South Carolina, this became an issue. The Democrats were all screaming about it.

42:34So she decided, Republican governor, to set up a fund. And I forget, bear with me, I forget the exact numbers. but she put several million dollars into a fund so that if you lived in South Carolina and you didn't have an ID, you could get one. And I think she told me that something like 16 people actually used it. So it is completely absurd, completely absurd. So the next time you're in one of these conversations with one of your Democrat buddies or something, and they say, well, these people can't get it. So then say to them, well, then why doesn't some rich person, or why don't you, just the person you're talking to, How about you donate a little bit of money to a fund to help a young black rural guy who can't get to a printer?

43:15Help him. Help him. Stop saying it. Show me something. Here's Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt pointing out that, yes, this is all about illegals voting, which is obviously true. Democrats want to have people who are here illegally vote for them. That's the God's honest truth. And I think if 2024 represented anything, Harris, it was a return of common sense. THERE COULDN'T BE MORE OF A COMMON SENSE PROPOSAL THAN SAYING YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE VOTER I.D. TO VOTE. JUST LIKE WHEN YOU CHECK INTO A HOTEL OR BUY AN AIRLINE TICKET TO PROVE WHO YOU ARE. I THINK IT'S INTERESTING IN TELLING THAT TWO ISSUES ARE CONVERGING AT THE SAME TIME.

43:51THIS ISSUE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND THIS ISSUE OF VOTER I.D. THE DEMOCRATS AREN'T REALLY QUIET ABOUT IT. THEY'RE SORT OF SAYING THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD WHICH IS THEY WANT TO BRING IN 15 TO 20 PEOPLE, 15 TO 20 MILLION PEOPLE IN HERE illegally and they want them to vote for them because they know their ideas are terrible and they can't win elections otherwise. Yeah. I mean, their ideas are pretty terrible. I think we've quite densely laid out the problem with suicidal empathy, what they are doing to their cities. Then the Republicans try to come in, Trump tries to come in, clean up some of that stuff.

44:23And they tell you he's an authoritarian and a maniac to just trying to clean up the problem that they've created. They never go out and build anything, right? If they wanted to build something, They could build a nonprofit that would then help people get IDs, but they don't want to do that because they actually don't want people to have IDs because they want the fraud in the system. So what do we do? So as I always say, you want two roughly healthy parties that disagree on tax rates a little bit, disagree maybe on some foreign policy stuff and everything else. Now we have a Republican party that's basically pretty decent, not perfect, a little messy is what it is.

45:00And then you have a completely psychotic Democrat party that is trying to destroy everything. So what can we do in the face of that? Well, we can build things and we better build them fast because we will only have this political power for a little while. One of the best things that Donald Trump did when he widened the tent was bring in Bobby Kennedy, a guy whose last name was synonymous with the Democrat party, who years ago I told him would not be a Democrat by the end of his campaign, who is now running HHS. and one of the things that Maha, Make America Healthy Again, has done is they have launched realfood.gov and here's the Super Bowl ad.

45:36You probably saw it with Mike Tyson promoting Whole Foods. It took Mike Tyson, a man who has been punched in the head more than anyone you know, to tell you to stop eating crap. My sister's name was Denise. She died of obesity at 25. She had a heart attack. I was so fat, nasty. I would eat anything. I was like 345 pounds, a quart of ice cream every hour. I had so much self-hate when I was like that. I just wanted to kill myself. We're the most powerful country in the world, and we have the most obese, fudgy people. Something has to be done by processed food in this country.

46:17Yeah, it's not controversial, guys. Eat whole foods. Eat real meat. Eat steak. Eat real chicken. Eat eggs. eat fresh vegetables, have an apple. Somebody said, if you eat one a day, something about a doctor ain't going to show up. Like try some of that. Now, ironically, that ad, which was quite good in this, there's just something kind of great about Tyson post his entire boxing career and everything. But ironically, how many other ads could maybe, maybe we can Google this. How many ads were there for GLP one medications? I mean, it was crazy. The amount of ads for Ozempic and and Zampopic, and Stop Fat-Assic, and all the shit.

46:53It was just endless. But how about, and I'm not saying there's no place for those things, right? For people who have tried everything else. But imagine if you just took a little more responsibility for yourself, stopped eating the processed foods, took a walk in the morning, got a little bit more sun, like did some of those things, you might start feeling better. Like that's what I've done over the last couple of years. I'm not bragging or anything else. Like I just took a little more responsibility, started eating a little bit differently, working out a little bit differently, and you can get control of your life and you don't need to drug yourself on stuff that likely in years from now, for all the ads for Ozempic and everything else that they showed on the Super Bowl this year, five years from now, they'll be telling you, oh, now you have to take something else because Ozempic did destroy your bone density and blah, blah, blah.

47:36There were four ads for other weight loss drugs during the Super Bowl. Think about that. Here is Bobby Kennedy talking about how that Mike Tyson ad came together. The whole ad was shot, and the whole thing was conceived over about a three-day period. And they gave him a script. The script was not working, and he just started talking. And it's an extraordinary, powerful ad. I think it's the most important ad in Super Bowl history because it's a crisis, Peter, that's existential for us now. 77 % of our kids cannot qualify for military service. obesity is off the chart 38 of american teens are diabetic or pre-diabetic how cool is it that that bobby left the democrat party it was not easy for him to do first then was running as an independent ultimately realized boy i could be a part of this maga thing he brought the maga and maha thing together actually one of my one of my most enjoyable moments of the last couple years was going to the, what did they call it?

48:42Was it the Restore the Republic rally? The Restore the Republic rally, Rescue the Republic rally in DC. And it was me and it was Bobby Kennedy and Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson and Brett Weinstein and a few others. And it was the first moment that the Maha and MAGA thing came together and to see all those flags, all of these people, all of the Maha people, they were all these like, they were like 60s hippie Democrats who then were standing with the MAGA people. It was so awesome to see. And it was absolutely something that led to Trump winning the election and everything else. And what Bobby has talked about here is this is his life's mission.

49:18You know, they hate him now. They hate this guy. It's absolutely insane. This guy who's looking at why are we injecting our kids with all of this stuff? Why are we giving them all of these foods that are terrible? Why do we have quite literally poisons in our cereals that they don't allow for children's cereals in Europe? And they hate him for that. And here he is talking about, I think we played this once before, how this really is a spiritual battle. And it's really, it's a spiritual warfare because this is a spiritual malaise. This affects mental health despite what the New York Times says.

49:52There's 75 years of peer-reviewed science that show that improving your health is going to improve even the symptoms of schizophrenia, of ADHD, of bipolar disorder. When you give people in prisons real food, the violence goes down by 40%. The use of restraints goes down by 75%. The food is affecting everything that we do. We are, this is warfare. Hey, I'm Dan Harris, host of the 10 % Happier podcast. When life gets a little rough, sometimes we feel this overwhelming urge to fix everything, which really is impossible. So I've got a new series coming up called Reset, where we're going to help you find simple, practical, surgical ways to reset key areas of your life.

50:40The lineup is incredible. We've got people like Gretchen Rubin, Laurie Santos, Atul Gawande, and The Daily Show's Josh Johnson. 10 % Happier with Dan Harris. Join the party wherever you get your podcasts. Sorry, obviously we haven't showed you that one before. That was from this Sunday, but he's referenced that before, this idea that it's spiritual warfare. And again, we all know these things. Like what happens when you give a kid a bunch of sugar, right? Like we got ice cream sandwiches for the kids during the Super Bowl. And for two hours, like it's absolutely insane. So you wouldn't want to do that all the time.

51:14Maybe you wouldn't want to give them breakfast cereals that are loaded with sugar. And also, I don't know, red dye and poisons and everything else. You might want to have as much. It's not to say you never give anyone ice cream. It's not to say you never have freaking chicken fingers, which I'm pretty sure we're having for lunch today. It's not to say you never do any of those things, but think about things a little bit differently. And why have we had a system in place that has made it so easy for us to make all of the wrong choices? I don't know exactly what the answer to that is. This one we have showed you before.

51:44This is Bobby talking about how this has been his life's mission and why Trump was the vehicle to get what he cares about over the finish line. For 20 years, I was screaming about this with nobody paying attention, no pediatricians, which is really strange. What happened to the pediatricians? They know, I mean, some of them have been working for 20 years, and they know that kids are not, you know, they're seeing this increase, this influx in all these diseases. And I was censored and shut down, And I prayed every single day that God would put me in a place where I could fix this. And so for me, when President Trump asked me to join his campaign in August of 2024, it felt providential.

52:41It felt like the answer to prayers. Yeah. And then flash forward. So that's from, you know, a year or two ago. And then it's like, OK, well, now during the Super Bowl, he gets to be part of that ad with Mike Tyson. and where hopefully some kids will just be like, you know what, mom, dad, this week at school, you know, you don't have to give me the whatever, the Takis and the whatever, but I'll take an apple instead. And then maybe we start straightening some of this stuff out. But before we finish, let's shift a little bit to something that is quite important outside of all the woke crap and how you're eating, which is the economy.

53:17And there are signs that the economy is turning around. You might remember at the end of 2025 in December, I went to D.C. We interviewed, I don't know, about a dozen Republican senators and congressmen, and everybody said the exact same thing, which is wait till the big, beautiful bill kicks in in 26 and you're going to see a lot of good things happening with the economy. Well, it seems like it's starting to happen. Here's video of the White House confirming that GDP growth is booming right now. Well, I think that there are two forces that are sort of pushing down and then one force that's pushing up.

53:49The force that's pushing up is the GDP growth is through the roof. Even with a revised down GDP now, we're looking at 4 % growth into the end of the year, 3 % for the year as a whole, despite the fact that we had a really negative first quarter with Joe Biden. And so that's the positive effect. The negative effects are when there's a productivity boom, then maybe you can make the same amount of stuff with fewer workers, since that might reduce labor demand. And then the other thing is that there's a pretty big decline in the labor force because illegals leaving the country. And so the break even job number is quite a bit lower than it was under Joe Biden when there were people, you know, basically coming across the border willy nilly.

54:34OK, so the guy you're listening to right there, that's Kevin Hassett, who, well, as of today, has a new job, I believe. He was the director. Wait, Phoenix, we're on the back for me if I want to get his title correct. He was the director of the National Economic Council. He now, I guess technically that's still a job, he now has been nominated by Trump as the chair of the Federal Reserve. Here is Trump talking to Larry Kudlow on what he thinks might happen with a new chairman over at the Fed. I'll tell you, if our new head of the Fed, who I think is going to be great, and he's a really high quality person, but if he does the job that he's capable, we can grow at 15 percent, I think more than.

55:18Okay, so Trump has been at odds with the Fed. And I think it was Kevin O 'Leary a couple months ago, we showed you a video where he was like, you know, it's good move for the president always to be fighting with the Fed, right? Because no one wants to be, I'm here to defend the Fed. But now Trump will hopefully have a guy at the Fed who he believes in. And with the big, beautiful bill passing, hopefully we start seeing the economy chug along a little bit more. And the key thing here, everything we do on this show from now until November is about whether the Republicans will keep the House and keep the Senate.

55:52Because if they do not, well, first off, they better pass some stuff while they can right now, which is all about that nuclear option that we've been talking about. Can they just pass some stuff with 51 votes, which we generally wouldn't want to happen, but we know we're fighting a force with the Democrat Party right now that will pack the courts and allow all the illegals to vote and all of this crazy stuff. But right now, Trump must continue the messaging, not only the messaging, but the reality on the ground that things are getting better in this country, which actually is true. And we gotta keep making sure that people know that because otherwise it's gonna get very bad and it will get very bad very fast.

56:30Here's Trump talking about how Republicans should win in a landslide. Take a look. Can you beat history on these midterm elections? carry the House and the Senate for the GOP. Can you do it on the economy? Do you need more communication? Do you need more marketing? Do you need more help? I mean, the numbers are on your side. The question is, does the public know this? Well, you know, we have a fake news that doesn't get the word out. That's why I love doing an interview with We Get the Word Out. So you ask a question. In 50 years, a president that won, even a popular president, and somebody that's done well.

57:08I'm popular and I've done well. I mean, I think we have the greatest economy actually ever in history. Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. That's said by everybody. We have the hottest country in the world. I guess I have to sell that because we should win in a landslide and we'll do everything we can to do it. You know, I like Larry Kudlow a lot. And next time I'm in New York, we're going to do a, I go on his show on Fox Business. Usually when I'm in there for Gutfeld, I go on his show. we're going to do an interview where I go on his show and then right after from his studio, I'm going to be on his show.

57:41But I thought his question there was quite good because he makes a point that I'm always bringing up on this show, which is that there's a difference between reality and narrative, meaning that the numbers actually are all trending in Trump's direction and in America's direction, right? Like the economy is getting good. We're getting some of the trade deals back and everything else. But then what he's saying is, but what about the narrative? Do you need marketing and blah, blah, blah? And then Trump points out the fake news and everything else. That really will be the challenge, right? That's why I try to clean things up as much as possible here, because I want people to know what reality is, because just selling numbers to people isn't enough.

58:14You have to be able to also control narrative. You have to be able to also control culture, et cetera, et cetera. I also think it's interesting. You know, Trump said it's the, we're the hottest country in the world. And you might go, oh, that's just Trump kind of over the top stuff. But what country is doing better than us right now? Really think about it. Like what country is doing better than us? Is Canada doing better than us? Is Bolivia or Guatemala or any of the countries that Bad Bunny showed the flag of yesterday? Are any of the Asian countries doing better than us? How's Western Europe doing?

58:44Not so great. Would you rather be in America right now or would you rather be in Britain? Would you rather be in America or France or Belgium or any of those countries? I don't know. You could maybe argue, okay, so Poland's doing pretty good and Hungary's doing all right. But like, we really still are the leader of the world. We, Trump has, has shredded these international agreements, gone to Davos and told these people to shove it. So we still are the biggest and the best. And we better know that because the day that we aren't, it's going to be worse. I promise you that. I think the show is exactly what, what we promised right at the beginning, you know?

59:18It was just some ideas, a little of this, a little of that. One guy telling a judge he wants to piss on her or something. And now everyone can go about their day. Postgame show, 30 seconds, rubenreport.locals.com. See you tomorrow.
