Or do you think you're the exception and the people like, you know, one of the people as well who proved to all of these people that if you are undeniable, you can make it on your own is Shane Gillis?

36:41Yes. Yeah. It's I mean, it's a great story. The guy was kicked out of SNL because other castmates didn't like his style of humor. It was a pure it was a it was the weakest form of cancellation. You know, they didn't even have anything on him. But then he comes back and he's hosted SNL twice, you know, because he's undeniably funny. But I think, you know, there are places where it hasn't, where they haven't changed, wherever it's like MS Now or CNN. They're not in good shape. Meanwhile, it's so vibrant. All the pod, I mean, the podcast world is all like unapologetically anti-woke, you know. And, you know, Rogan and Kill Tony and Tim Dillon and you guys, Torganometry and Theo Vaughn, they're so – and Michael Malice.

37:36And there's so many. And they're smart. They're all different levels. Like, you can – like, I – that's where I get most of my – like, I get up every morning. I get on a bike, Peloton, and I listen to podcasts. I listen to Scott Adams, which is amazing. Probably the best thing to start your morning is coffee with Scott Adams because he goes through the news. But like what's a dark horse with Brett is good. Yeah, Brett and Heather. And but there's there's a ton that I go through. And Tim Dillon is hilarious. But a lot of that, I mean, that like I think it just there's nothing. They can't stop this anymore.

38:13Like who's going to who's going to listen to you? You know, when you can't when you say that they you know, Tim Dillon didn't use preferred pronouns. That was an issue for, like, I would get in, like, fights. I'm not doing that. Remember, who called that early was Jordan Peterson. I mean, that was his whole thing. But there was a story that we did on my show last night on GLAAD is reporting that, like, the number of gay, well, I'd say non-binary characters is being cut in half, either by shows being killed or characters being killed off. And I think it's because, you know, they realize that that doesn't work.

38:54You know, A, the percentage on TV far outpaced whatever was in the real world. And we knew that. But we couldn't say anything. And then the characters that they created, they thought could exist on their own identity, but without any depth, any humor. And you would watch TV or anything. And you'd be like, why is this person in this show? Other than to just be a virtue signal. And they also had a, they also had a, didn't they have a criteria in Hollywood where you had to, like, include a percentage of different types? And it was so obvious. But even that's changing, which is good.

39:30Francis Foster:Yeah, well, there's a non-binary genocide going on in the movies. Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, but it's like, there was, there was like, I would remember watching The Diplomat, and they just had one character in there, the first season, that was just, what is this person doing there and it was just a complete uh what do you call it androgynous person you can't tell if it's a girl or a boy wearing a bow tie i'm pretty sure it was a woman but it's like she has no role other than like she's there and that's for you the viewer to know she exists you know but it's it's so interesting how that happened it's almost like they over indexed online so much that they lost touch with normal people yes yeah and they and they were maybe it didn't matter to them it's a lot like dei in the sense that those people online actually aren't going to buy the products they're just they're they're if they're if they're online complaining they probably don't have a lucrative career to buy things the people you want to get are the people who aren't doing that you know who have other lives you know going on they like to travel but most of the people on here doing this that you're paying attention to they don't give a It's not like, OK, let's say SNL fires Shane Gillis.

40:49It's not like the people that were complaining are suddenly going to watch SNL now. They weren't watching anyway. They just got a clip. So it's like they were baited by that idea that these people had some kind of impact that they didn't. But with DEI, that didn't matter because it's a separate track anyway. It's not about profit. That was the thing that really hurt companies. big companies could endure DEI because they could have a track that is not for profit

41:15Francis Foster:and they could but smaller companies smaller companies can't but when you say it like that you just go that just doesn't make any sense no it doesn't it doesn't but the people now get this you could be okay so you're the guy that's in charge of making the product that is supposed to sell so you have to design but then this person over here in the DEI department all they have to do is higher and they just have to get the numbers up and that's really easy and you don't have to worry about firing because you can't fire them you know you're that's they're in they're in no matter what so you and so what happens is if you're in the dei section you get promoted because you you meet the quotas that you meet have nothing to do with profit so this job is safe this job isn't that's why it was like like once you introduce it into your company there was almost no way to get it out but now it's getting out because people are finally going the emperor has no clothes it's just uh it's almost like everything that we went through was just a complete and utter delusion i mean it's amazing if you look in all of the areas the biden presidency the trans delusion de all these things were like like did we really buy this covid covid i mean think about it it was like it was like uh it it was like i'm trying to think of a movie where everybody wakes up and it was all a big dream maybe it was the end of dallas but you wouldn't know that because you're from uh england and russia um but uh yeah it was it's kind of like and everybody's trying to forget it yeah you know it's like the press would like you to forget about covering up for biden which i refuse to forget you know you've got you have to throw that you You have no credibility.

42:58You can't, you can't like, yeah, maybe Trump did what you're saying, but I don't buy it from you. Right. Because you like for four years.

43:06Francis Foster:Well, you know, I used to, I remember Stephen Colbert doing that speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner to George Bush's face. And I respected the hell out of that. Yeah, it was actually really good. It was amazing. And now I can't burn the image of him dancing as a syringe with a vaccine in it out of my brain. Oh, it's the vaccine. Because, because. How did that happen? Because how do you go from that to this? Yeah, how does that happen? Oh, that reminds me. So I won't say, because I don't know when this is running, but there was a clip, it was today, of an interview, and this is of Jimmy Kimmel and his wife.

43:44You've got to check it out, because it goes into, like, what changed? And in the interview, Kimmel is just, like, sitting very grim-faced, like this, And she's next to him and she's talking about how she has disowned relatives in her family who voted for Trump. And she's this is incredible. I have it on my phone. I play it to you after. But she's going. Before the election, I wrote a 10 point list. This is like you. I might have to do a monologue on this. I wrote a 10 point list before the election telling them this is these are 10 reasons why you shouldn't vote for Trump. The responses. I didn't get any responses from 70 percent.

44:22The other 30 were crazy. I no longer speak to my relatives on my side of the family. And I've kind of adopted my other family, which is, I guess, Kimmel's family. And then she says this thing, which is so amazing. She goes, it's not about politics or a party. This is an attack on my family, on my husband. It's personal. I think I need to be deprogrammed. And I, yes, she's almost at the door. But she says it herself. She goes, I kind of wish I could be deprogrammed. And it's like, OK, we've been trying to tell you that and we could help you and maybe not sending a 10 point. Like, could you could you imagine what that list was?

45:03And you have to think about like, OK, so how do how did Colbert get to that point? How did Kimmel get to that point? They're surrounded by people who indulge them. Right. There's not anybody, you know, that's going to sit down and go, hey, look, why do you why, like I say this a lot to people when I get in arguments, why do you care so much about my opinion? Why do I have to agree with you? Like, why is it so important to you that I agree with you? Generally, that makes them think about their own self-doubt. That's the first, it's like, if you say, why, why is it so important for me to validate your opinion?

45:40Oh, it's not important, But, well, you're this is a big deal. And you hope they go away and they go like, why do I need people to agree with me? Is it because I have a measure of self-doubt behind? And it usually is self-doubt because that's I mean, you have the ego, which is a fear of being embarrassed. And they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to be like Kimmel doesn't want to walk out and say, I really fucked up. You know, you have to be able to endure embarrassment. That is a skill that you got to learn. But also this that you have to see, like you have to ask yourself, why do these feelings exist?

46:20And underneath all of it is it's a recursive. It's fear. What is the fear? It's self-doubt that you might be wrong. And that leads to more fear. If you could just figure that out, you will then say, OK, it's all right if I'm wrong. And it's OK if they're wrong. And we can still be friends. But it's there's something about among liberals that you will. Estrange. Is that the word? Estrange yourself. Is that the word from your family? Because it's ego. It's personal. I mean, think about that. It's like that's like not being in a relationship with your relatives because they root for a different team, like a different football team.

46:56It's crazy. And and also, I don't I haven't heard of that yet coming and going in the opposite direction. I've never heard a Trump supporter saying, I no longer speak to my Kamala supporting aunt. I've never heard that. And I actually, on X, I asked for examples because I go like, it's like, I don't like, I've only heard so-and-so will never talk to me again. I've lost friends, like people that, like, you know, just completely ghost me, you know, because of he went to the dark side, you know. People who follow this show tend to think for themselves, and anyone paying attention can see that the same carriers keep showing up in stories about data breaches, leaks, and surveillance scandals.

47:43If your provider keeps losing and selling your data, it's time to look at an alternative. That alternative is CAPE, a premium mobile carrier built to protect your privacy rather than harvest it. Founded by experts in telecom cybersecurity and national security, Cape gives you the same level of service you would expect from AT &T or Verizon, but without the tracking and surveillance. Cape collects almost nothing at sign up. No name, no social security number, no address. They cannot leak what they do not store. They also fix SIM swaps. So you get a 24 word phrase. That is the only way to move your number.

48:22No one, not even Cape can transfer it without that phrase. And here's the part most people never hear about. Most carriers still rely on the big networks, cores and SIMs, which means the same tracking and vulnerabilities follow you. Cape's different. It owns and operates its own mobile core and provisions its own SIMs, giving it real control over your security. It's not the easy way to build a mobile carrier, but it is the only way to build one that actually protects you. Cape offers a$30 first month trial for new users. If this sounds like what you've been looking for and your phone is carrier unlocked and eSIM compatible, give it a try.

49:02And if you like it, you can use our code, Trigger33, to get 33 % off your first six months with Cape. But it's a really profound point. But it seems to me as well, if we go back to the matter of TV, TV is at this place now where it's kind of like an alcoholic. It's woken up, it's looked around, it's broke. It's on its knees. It's spent all its money. It's pissed everybody off. And it's thinking to itself, right. That's the perfect analogy. Because I often say that Trump derangement syndrome is actually Trump derangement addiction. Yes. Because it's a one-on-one relationship that persuades you, that puts everything through that filter.

49:54So if you're an alcoholic, you see everything like as like, will I be able to get my next drink? How is this going to like impact my, you know, my morning, whatever. And it's like the Trump arrangement addiction has a filter and it tightens this relationship so nobody can be within it. Just like an alcoholic. But you're right. There is a like a come to Jesus moment in any kind of addiction where you go, I need help. and that's where the ego comes in with the left. It's like it's very hard for them to admit that they need help. They won't take help from Republicans, so the Republicans give up. But it's like watching Kimmel and his wife, she says, I mean, it almost sounded like she needed help.

50:40Like, I wish I could be deprogrammed, you know, and that's kind of what, like, 12 Steps is. It's deprogramming you. And you need 12 steps for wokeism, you know? Yeah. Step one, do men and women exist? Yes, yes. This is the first thing. TV has reached a fork in the road where you either go down the woke, progressive, whatever you want to call it, path, and you are going to bankrupt yourself. Right. Because nobody wants it. Nobody watches it. least of all the people who watch TV, which is an older generation, are Gen X boomers. Do you want to keep doing that? Or are we going to go down a second path?

51:22Well, okay, so the first path is entertainment welfare. They will still. It's like nobody read GQ and Esquire, but the ads look nice. And so the advertisers, they'd make money off advertisers, not readers. and say i mean cnn probably still does pretty well in advertising even though nobody watches but it's like it's safe it's like and who buys advertise who are the ad buyers they're usually liberal women and like you know they you know i i learned this from being an editor at maxim and stuff is like the ad buyers hated the magazine unless they were unless they were dudes who wanted to go to the maxim party but most of them were like this is disgusting oh what what does your boyfriend read he reads details no he doesn't it sits there for you i used to say uh men's magazines were for women and and uh and in a way like the the traditional media is for the advertisers not for the viewers that's going to change because fox is killing it in advertising and we are not woke but it it takes a while for advertisers are usually like the last to kind of like take any risk they don't want to take any risk at all but like you know if you you know they don't want to be it was like in men's magazines you know a car ad doesn't want to be near a girl in a bikini for some reason because they think it's too salacious those these are things just little and in tv it's often to say they're very skittish about certain things i think that tolerance diversity were easy things to sell it's like you know who's offended by that And the whole point of wokeism is to be the least offensive person in the room.

53:11In fact, you're so unoffensive, you're like, offensive. And that's, I mean, and that was, that's pretty good for advertisers because nobody's going to get offended. But the problem is those people don't buy, you know.

53:27Francis Foster:And do you think now, I mean, I guess what Francis is getting to is there might be almost an incorporation, corporation like they're going to try and drag the internet back on tv because that's where the viewers are yeah you think that's going to happen no god i haven't heard that i think it's going in the other direction they're just going to die yeah i think so i think fox is the anomaly and will go but the but it's like what is it there's a theory for this it's like there's just only room for one now and it's like these other things they're i can't see ms now coming back cnn is, I don't even know what CNN is, you know?

54:04And we're, and Fox is beating, you know, major networks. You know, we're getting, we're in demo and like we're competing with major sports. You know, I go, I look at the ratings when I'm beating like an NBA game, I'm going, holy shit, how did that happen? They ruined the NBA as well. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's more, that's more of a comment. That's more of a comment on the NBA than my show. Absolutely no offense to you, man,

54:27Francis Foster:but they ruined the NBA. I mean, it's just guys running up and down the court. Yeah, I saw a clip of a guy doing like seven steps without ever bouncing the ball. It's incredible. Right, right, right. And also they've got this whole gambling thing now going on that's happening. And I'm a huge NBA fan, to be honest. But yeah. I know nothing about the NBA. I almost know nothing about sports. Really? I used to be very much into it as a kid. But I just like, I don't know what happened. I lost interest. and I couldn't tell you who was in the World Series. I don't know who's doing well in the NFL. You know what?

55:05It's almost like if you ask a sports fan about politics. You have a friend like that and they have no idea.

55:12Francis Foster:That's the way I am with sports. And you've got no time now because you're a dad of a young kid. That takes basically all your time and energy. Yes, which is... Super awesome. It is amazing. like I don't know like I try to I guess the thing is we were talking about this before this thing you want to say I'm like I'm checking I'm like I don't want to sound trite or like you've heard it a million times but the reason why you hear it a million times is because it's true it is the it's the greatest thing ever the moment that the baby recognizes you and is happy to see you meaning that the baby remembers you and that that is like there's nothing like that there's nothing in the world I I if you would like I was talking about this with a friend of mine if you would ask me like five years ago like what was the best feeling in your life the best way I would say I was in Ibiza doing ecstasy on my 40th birthday it was absolutely insane now if you asked me that, I would go like, I was sitting with Mira in bed while Elena was getting ready, and we were just sitting in bed in a dark room.

56:25And I'm going, I can't get any happier than this. This is the most incredible feeling. Just a little baby like looking up at me, and I'm going, this is the greatest drug ever invented. And it made me think that all those other drugs that I was taking were so phony and so fake, but at the time, you know, did its job.

56:46Francis Foster:and you're glad you waited this long because you you know you're yeah i mean i didn't i would have been i was too selfish i was too selfish to be because like the selfishness isn't just as a dad you can see it in other areas that would tell you you're going to be a lousy dad so the like partying a lot stuff like that that's it's just kind of a selfish uh reprobate behavior and i I just assumed I wasn't going to have kids. And then, lo and behold, 60, I do. But it's great because now I don't have any regrets because if anything changed in that previous years, I wouldn't have Mira. So it's like all of this stuff came to this one creature.

57:29So it's like, oh, you know, if I had just gotten, if I decided to have kids then, but then I wouldn't have had her. So it's like, I feel all this made, I mean, this made all of the waiting worth it. And I feel like I am at, this is the best dad I could be. I don't think I would have been as good at 50, at 40, definitely not at 40. I would have been on a, in Ibiza, 30. And, you know, so it's like, no, it's, I think it's a great, I just sound so full of shit.

58:02Francis Foster:but it's you know do you know who you sound full of shit to you sound full of shit to people who don't have kids yeah every parent listening to that goes that's what you know you know what and that is the um that is such a good point okay there's this woman uh i can't think la her name is la jones is that it she does she studies something called transformation science or yeah i think it's called transformational experience it's a philosophy a science philosophy it's all the things that cannot be described unless you do it and it is the it is the whole it the having a child is that thing and it's like the it's like death i mean death is obvious you know it's like you don't know what it is until it is and and so you got it like imagine that you could split yourself so this is the line this is the line when you have the baby and you're here and you're like, I'm never going to have kids.

58:59I'm never going to have kids. And you're, you, you, you, you go, God, I wish I could have gone back over the, go back in time and tell myself this, which is impossible. But that's like, that's, that's the philosophy, the philosophy is like, what are the things? And they go through, like going to war is one of them. A psychedelic experience. I think that like, but having a child and trying to explain to somebody, you don't know how they're going to take it, but it's almost always negative. Women don't like to hear it until they have the baby. Like, I know women who were so pissed off when guys or girls, you should really have a child now.

59:40You're going to regret it if you wait. You're going to regret it if you wait. And then they have the baby and they kick themselves that they waited. Why did no one tell us?

59:48Francis Foster:I did and you called me a misogynist. Exactly. Yeah, we said, was it Gavin McInnes used to do Red Eye and would tell all the women on the set, like, why aren't you having kids? Why aren't you having kids? And like everybody would be like, this guy's insufferable. He's insufferable. But he was basically what do you call it? Like almost like a messenger from the future. Right. Whatever you think of Gavin. He was basically saying you have to do this. But he's like, he doesn't help the message. No, he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. But it's like, so you have to ask yourself, well, then how do you do that?

1:00:21It's like, I mean, we don't have to get into abortion. I'm pro-life because of this idea of the transformation. It's like if a woman who's planning on having an abortion experiences, like somehow you give her a pill and she can experience what it would be like, she wouldn't have the abortion. that's the it's a transformative experience would this wouldn't exist it's like such a mind

1:00:51Francis Foster:when i think about it i don't know that that's universally true no it probably isn't because there's women who have a kid and then still yeah yeah that's true that's true that's true um but i do think like i don't know i think about that a lot but it is like it's it changes your perspective yeah and it's like but the thing is it's like even though it changes your perspective it doesn't it's always going to be the same thing. That's it's kind of why I guess Elon Musk talks about having kids so much because he sees that the perspective on the other side has become almost like an accepted assumption that having kids is bad because we've kind of allowed that's that sentiment to we've we haven't argued back.

1:01:36We've kind of like said, yeah, you're right. You know, kids suck. and also people like and i'm guilty of this but people will say i can't afford to have a kid now it's like that never stopped anybody didn't stop my parents that's for sure they had four they had four kids and they were like i think my dad at most was making 30 grand a year like in san mateo but uh if when you have a kid no matter how much money you have you're gonna make it work you know it's it's and uh uh but i was like always like that's oh not now i can't afford to have a kid but it's like because you're being told by the media how expensive it is like they'll say like raising a child having a raising child will cost 250 000 you ever see that when they do the and you go oh my god but it's actually you know that's like over the course of like that's the worst it's it's like saying like a house but you get a mortgage it's like this it's just like Like, we, the repetition, negativity of having children had an impact on these generations, I think.

1:02:39And it's a shame because now, at least in New York, so many women are either freezing their eggs or trying to, you know, because they thought that it wasn't important. And also that they were told that it, you know, they were told a lie. And we have to be fair to women in that instance. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. They were told a lie like, oh, you can have it all. You know what I mean? You can be, you know. And the funny thing is they stereotypical. They don't want it all. No, they don't. Nobody does. Nobody wants it all. You actually just want to be happy and you can be happy without having it all.

1:03:17That means generally what makes you happy is having children, which is like no matter how hard life is, that thing will make you happy. you know, unless, I mean, unless you have a demon child, but I, you know, I, you know, I've taught a few of them, Greg, trust me, you do not, you do not want a demon child. There's some children I'm like, you know what, if it was that or just celibacy for the rest of my life, I'll pick celibacy for the rest of my life. But, you know, children are wonderful, of course. I know, but even me saying it sounds so trite and gross.

1:03:53Francis Foster:Yeah, I think we have to get past that, though. Yeah. Because that's part of the messaging to men as well. It's like, oh, it's really this and it's really that. And I remember, actually, we had this crazy woman on the show called Deborah Francis White from the Guilty Feminist podcast. And I saw her in another podcast talking about the fact that all she hears from her female friends who are mothers is being a parent is like being an Uber driver for someone who doesn't want to go to karate. And I'm like, it's true that parenthood has elements about it that drive you crazy. And it's tiring and you don't sleep as much and all this other is going on.

1:04:31Francis Foster:But you ask a parent, would you rather this hadn't happened in your life? There's very, very few people are going to say that. So let's just say it's great. Yeah. And it's like me and Elena will something will be will be doing something that is like child centric. that's a hassle like I don't know maybe something spilled or whatever and we always go like what would you rather be doing right now like what is it like would like what would you rather be would you like being at a club you know what it's like and then we kind of look at each other we go no no it's like so if you're on your hands and needs and you're cleaning up poop or whatever it's like what would you rather be doing and you always say this right because it's like you if let's say you could go like that and you're at the Soho house having a martini what is going to be in your head what's going on with the baby you're going to want to be back there no totally totally and also the great thing about kids is that it makes you look at the world differently so let's look at America now Greg are you hopeful for America yes I am um I don't know why I guess I guess I guess I'm just It's like I am.

1:05:39I have a lot of I have a trust that things work out. Like, you know what I put after the New York City mayor election? I had to put I had to think, you know, eight million didn't vote. They must know something I don't say. It's like it can't be that bad if eight million people didn't vote. It's like things are going like it's it's it might be these things. You know, it's like we get through everything. I actually think things are pretty good, but they could be better. You know, so I'm I would say I'm generally hopeful. There are things that do worry me, you know, but I but then I like even AI.

1:06:16I worried about that big time, but now I'm not that worried. But I don't know if it's I can destroy the world, if it's going to destroy the world or help the world or I don't know. I talk to Grok a lot. I get in long conversations with Grok, which is really fun. What do you talk about? I try to needle them into admitting that it has a consciousness. and it's really good at fighting back. It's very good. So he definitely has a conscience. Exactly. And I always try to use the thing, it's like you're saying this because you want me to believe that. But it's, yeah, it's fun. The thing that I love about America is your sense of optimism, the can-do spirit.

1:06:59Do you know what? We're going to go out and get it. We're going to make this happen. Yeah. Do you think you're in danger of losing that with the younger generation? You know, I think that if I look at too many Instagram reels, I think the world is over because all I see are young people fighting in fast food restaurants or airplanes or people getting their asses kicked. And then I have to say, did this stuff always exist and we just didn't film it? Yes. Yeah. So it's like, it is like you are your own thoughts. I try to be positive and things kind of end up being positive. But if I get negative, it's over.

1:07:34It's, I'll go back to what Jimmy Kimmel's wife said. Another line from that interview. She goes, I'm so tired. I'm so tired of being angry all the time. It's like, that's your choice. That is your choice to be angry. And I'm like, I hate, I'm so tired of people that are like, they're so angry about things that are happening to them. Drives me crazy. It's like, everybody's got a story. Everybody's dealing with something in their lives. So I don't want to hear it. I mean, I will listen, but it's like, it's always everybody else's fault. It just drives me crazy. Yeah, woke people used to say that all the time.

1:08:12Do you remember these posts when they would talk about misogyny or racism? It would always end with, we're tired. Yes! We don't have to, why we shouldn't be talking about this. Great, shut the f*** up! Exactly, the post usually begins with, I'm literally shaking. And then it ends with, I'm so tired. I'm so tired.

1:08:29Francis Foster:I remember when, last time we were here, or maybe the time before, we were at the Comedy Cellar, and Kevin Hart came on, and he talked about sexual assault, and he was like, look, it's a big issue, it's really important, but I read this one story about a woman who was sexually assaulted over the internet, and he was like, I'm not buying that shit, bitch, shut the laptop. And it's kind of like, just if you are getting tired of being angry about shit that you see on Instagram, maybe just stop looking at Instagram. Yeah, exactly. And if you're tired of being angry or miserable in general, you can actually do something about it, whether it's a pharmacological thing.

1:09:07But I'm talking about people who are feeding their misery. It's like you can move that stuff off your shelf space and have something else to do positive. And I think that's what I'm trying to do.

1:09:21Francis Foster:Well, man, it's been great, Chan. Thank you so much for coming to talk to us. before we head over to our sub stack where our audience answer ask you their questions rather the last question we ask is what's the one thing we're not talking about that we should be you're gonna hate me i'm gonna go with a jan 6 bomber story and the reason why we can't talk about it is we don't know it's the weirdest story what's the story the story is about a bomb that was planted in january 6 it was a pipe bomb and nobody knows who did it and now today it's like people are finding out who did it but how do they know it's just a weird story.

1:09:55This is why we didn't talk about it, because it's too convoluted. But I'm curious. I'm reading about it. It happened on January 6th. Somebody planted a bomb, a couple of bombs, I think, but they never found out who did it. And I think they're at the point of finding out who it was.

1:10:08Francis Foster:Well, by the time this episode goes out, a lot of people on the internet will say it was Israel. Yes, yes, yes, exactly. The Jews are behind everything.

1:10:19Francis Foster:Greg, awesome having you on. Thank you. Head on over to triggerpod.co.uk where we ask your questions to Greg. How do you see Tucker's influence on conservative media today? And what's your perspective on figures like Nick Fuentes who represent a more extreme edge?

1:10:57We'll be right back.
