Alex, how do we deal with something like

that? Yeah, it's tough.

I actually, if it's...

Some people see this as maybe a positive, others probably less of a positive.

But I don't think the AI slop, as we call it, that we're seeing online, I don't think it's less accurate than the previous age of media fact-checking.

I think the previous age of media fact-checking was somehow even worse.

And so we've garbage in and garbage out, but some of the AI models, particularly Grok, seem to be less biased than any sort of major newsroom model.

So maybe we need to fact check what we're hearing from social media influencers online and various podcasts online.

That is what disqualifies him.

E- exactly.

Exactly right.

And not to mention the stuff like your six genders.

I mean, the, the guy is completely nuts.

And remember when Trump was on a beer aspirin and so he had the little splotches on his skin like a million other 80-year-olds in everyone's life because he had the blood thinning, and then people acted like this was some sort of a crisis that was gonna take down the Republic because Trump was on the verge of death and then was lying about it? And now we get a guy who's legitimately mentally insane who we're thinking of putting in to be a senator from Texas, and people wanna know if he's in a mental health institute when he dropped off the campaign for two weeks, and we're the crazy people for wanting to know where he is? It's not gonna work this time.

I think that should be our message.

It's brilliant.

What's your take Alex Marlow?

Yeah, first of all, he's a liar.

He's been lying to us about the flu, and we know this because yesterday in back-to-back interviews, he said he went to his primary care doctor and he went to urgent care.

So he doesn't have his story right.

He's not telling the truth, and we need to know the answer to this.

This is the hottest election in the entire country.

This is not a joke.

You are fair game for the judicial system to prosecute, investigate, and potentially denaturalize.

What was your initial take when he first banned them?

Yeah, actually, my initial take was more, I would say, negative than I am now.

Try to give you the whole arc.

I am a free speech guy at heart, and I do find that I like when the president is talking about some of the amazing things that he's doing.

We've got prescription drug prices at the lowest level that we've seen relative to other items, like eight presidents or something like that.

We were finally securing the border.

I like the Greenland move.

So give me the takeaway there.

The Latins

... compared to, yeah, c- c- c- compared to Talarico.

And they're selling this guy in Texas.

I, I can't believe it.

The Democrats are in such a mess.

I was thinking about this in the context of the midterm, guys, about how it's a, with everything that's going on, is that Republicans would get completely crushed if they were running against no one, but they are running against the Democrats, and these are the guys they keep putting out there, guys who make excuses for 9/11, uh, guys who make excuses for October the 7th, guys who, they eat barbecue with a, a, a napkin wrapped around the meat, uh, but they were also a vegan at some point and want a vegan campaign.

And then Newsom's not on the ballot, but he kinda is, and he's there, and he is a, a, a, he's s- saying he's gonna cede to Kamala Harris, who is just now a wine mom, and is just getting into Sauvignon B really early in the day all the time, and sounds completely incoherent whenever she talks.

Give us the Hasan Piker 30,000 foot.

So we have other things to get to, but I wanted to at least give you a chance to chime in on that.

Thank you.

Thanks for the great intro also.

And I don't love to just shamelessly plug my stuff, but I had both of you guys on as part of a series honoring Charlie last week.

And it did gangbusters for me and was very popular by part.

And so if people go to the Alex Marlow Show feed, you will see long-form interviews with Mikey and Tyler as well as you two.

And they're just awesome.

Alex, do you have an answer? Alex, who's your...

I think if voters show up, we can still hold the House and Senate, Alex.

Yeah, I do think so as well.

It's one of these things where if the Republicans were running against no one, then we would be doing terribly.

But the Republicans are running against the most radical group of Democrats we've ever seen, the most radical group of politicians we've ever seen in this country ever on a major level.

party ticket.

And due to the great redistricting effort, the House races, there's very few battlegrounds there.

And a lot of these Senate races, you could easily see Republicans winning and they're going to flood a lot of money into Texas.

They want to treat us like children.

confirmation.

He is totally – he is supposed to have the best relationship with Trump in the entire cabinet.

And is someone who would unify all the factions of the Republican Party.

So I think it's very interesting as someone who is part of the general J.D. Vance ecosystem.

I find it very interesting that we're going to do the coronation route, but it does seem like that's already been determined and that's going to happen.

Got it.

And it is interesting because of that, because I'm a huge J.D. Vance fan.

But if you had to compare the current moment in US political history to the most parallel past moment in US political history, what would you analogize?

Alex, Alex Marlow, help us here.

Well, it, it's necessary, guys, and, uh, y- we're actually gonna connect a lot of dots here because this actually is a problem in LA because there is so much homelessness, and your sex drive doesn't dry up just once you hit the streets.

Like, that doesn't, that isn't how God made us.

And so this is a thing that you witness.

In one of our businesses that we have, one of our buildings that where we actually...

when we relaunched Breitbart News, with Andrew Breitbart's vision for this sort of orange and black, uh, you know, Halloween-colored website that we've had, that has been our website for 14 years now.

When we were there, uh, building this website, we did it from this very strange building, the studio, it's almost like a warehouse.

And the actual way you mitigate harm is to say, "Certain behaviors are unacceptable, and if you do them, you will be stopped, and you will be confined or punished or what have you." And it is the inability to enforce boundaries that is one of the great failures of modern civilization such as we have it.

Alex, Alex Marlow, help us here.

Well, it's necessary, guys.

And we're actually going to connect a lot of dots here because this actually is a problem in L.A., because there is so much homelessness, and your sex drive doesn't dry up just once you hit the streets.

That isn't how God made us.

And so this is a thing that you witness in one of our businesses that we have, one of our buildings, that where we actually, when we relaunched Breitbart News, with andrew breitbart's vision for this sort of orange and black uh you know halloween colored website that we've had that has been our website for 14 years now when we were there building this website we did it from this very strange building the studio it's almost like a warehouse i think master p was the previous owner the rapper and is it odd space odd part town completely overrun with homelessness, right next to the 405 freeway, close to the 10.

And I remember one night walking out after a long day of work building our new website, and I saw a homeless man masturbating on the sidewalk, lying there, pulling at himself, and he saw me walk towards my car, and he looked up he sized me up he realized i wasn't an authority figure and he just kept going he just kept going he did not stop because he had company and because someone was witnessing his behavior he didn't care he was just checking to see if this gonna cause a problem for me in a legal sense and he kept going so of course there actually is a legitimate reason why someone would think yeah well maybe what we should do is actually just like give them a room That's the issue.

It's not that we have huge mental health issues and people are unhoused and we have a bunch of drug problems and all that stuff in the city.

And it is the inability to enforce boundaries that is one of the great failures of modern civilization such as we have it.

And the rest of the media, they don't even talk about it.

Yeah, they don't talk about it at all.

It's inconvenient, their narrative.

One of the Netanyahu sons lives in Miami, so I'm curious what the implications would be of that.

But look, this is the same regime that rained down a torrent of blood and terror on their own people this year, killing tens of thousands of people indiscriminately in the streets.

And the American left and the American media seem to completely forgot about that already.

I, I text him directly and tell him the same, just to be fair

...

Yeah, it's, like, who's running a...

James, stop, stop.

Put the keyboard away, please.

Sometimes, please.

No, but so this is the point here.

And, and when we, when we are wrong- It's on- it's incumbent on us to make that right and to own it, and Roysha showed, showed me the way, for sure

him directly and tell him the same, just to be fair.

Yeah, it's like, who's running a game? Stop, stop, pull the keyboard away, please, sometimes, please.

No, but so this is the point here.

I will talk economics and we have a great economic newsletter, Bright Bar, that I contribute to with John Carney called the Bright Bar Business Digest.

Everyone should check that out.

But my expertise starts with media and there's obviously not, like we can put this out, this guy obviously is a big jerk who hates fans.

And so that's what he's doing.

And Roysha showed me the way.

Alex, how crazy is this Hong character, and how worried should we be that she might be running Wisconsin in a few months?

I'm super worried.

I've done a lot of research on Wisconsin.

This is one of the breeding grounds for left-wing activist violence in the country, uh, Madison in particular, but it really is a hub for a lot of the most radical elements of the American left.

Uh, it's a purple state in general, and I think there's a ton of salt of the earth people there, but in some of these, they have huge university systems that are incubators for far left people.

Uh, I wanna go through some of her stuff.

Blake did a great job, and I'm gonna even add to more of it.

... specifically, what do we need to do from a messaging standpoint?

What do we need to do from a messaging standpoint?

[laughs]

It's not spelled Tom.

It's spelled Thom.

That's his name.

The guy's completely obnoxious person.

I think he's a very dumb person, and he is determined to use the remaining power he's got to cause problems until he's, he's, uh, out of there in a couple of months.

And so he's gonna demand certain things.

Yeah

I don't think there's any war going on.

Not really, and I think historically you're correct about this.

The party always sort of gets overwhelmed by the far left.

Uh, this has been happening my entire life, and it probably happened a, a long time before then.

What ends up happening is either the establishment starts agreeing with the far left and then it just becomes a more leftist party just with the same people in charge, or the far left just takes over, and then you see new faces with a slightly further left agenda.

That's what we're witnessing here.

The Tim Kaine clip and the Hakeem Jeffries clip, which I played that on my show as well, really, really important because we knew the others were very radical.

Where, where am I missing something here?

Yeah,

it's interesting.

She wants some longevity, I think, in her career.

And I think she's probably smart enough to know she's a young person.

And a lot of the stuff the DSA is saying, it's going to flame out.

This is going to be a fad.

It'll be a flash in the pan type movement to some degree.

And the third time will be better yet.

Yeah, exactly.

I, I, yeah, yeah, the WN- yeah, exactly.

I, I wanna see.

I'm accelerationist in this regard.

I will not rest until five guys dominate the WNBA and bring home a championship.

And so until I see that, then I'm not gonna be satisfied with the woke moment.

So I'm pretty upset about this because she sounds totally rational and normal, and we're all gonna have to talk about this because it's a positive for girls, but come on, guys.

She lost to 15-year-olds.

She lost to 15-year-olds.

But in all, in all seriousness, yeah, uh, Sophie Cunningham, it, it's very brave what she said.

And if you listen to the full explanation, she says it's because I'm protecting girls, and I think girls should have a place where they do well in sports.

And we've always talked about this as a society that we want girls to be able to be treated equally.

It doesn't treat them equally if you let men come in and, and win the sport.

And she knows she's going to get hatred for this, and she still went out and said it, and that's awesome.

It's actually, and here's a hot take for you, I think it's actually cooler than her pointing in a humorous way at another player.

No.

Not if you look like, if you are a woman, you can play.

Wasn't that guy in the Odyssey, by the way, the one you just played, the little guy with the blonde hair? Elliot Page, yeah, I think you're right.

First of all, I hate all this because I want – Sophie Cunningham sounds totally rational, very brave of her to stand up and make this point.

But this is getting me further away from my ultimate goal, which is I want to see five guys who are former or current NBA players just announce that they're women, go down the NBA, and just run up the score and just see how big of a blowout – Yeah, exactly.

I want to say I'm accelerationist in this regard.

I will not rest until five guys dominate the WNBA and bring home a championship.

And so until I see that, then I'm not going to be satisfied with the woke moment.

Do you agree or disagree?

Why isn't J.D. Vance talking about that? That's what he should be talking about, defending administration policies.

I think I've got a decent answer to this, Larry, and I know Vice President Vance very well.

We became friends before he even ran for Senate.

I was a huge fan of Hillbilly Elegies, and I got the interpretation he was going to run for office and higher office, and we connected over a lot of things.

But he's a very young person, and he spends a lot of time on the internet, and I think he spends a lot of time in this podcast world, and it's a deeply anti-Semitic world.

I mean, he even recently recommended the Theo Vaughn podcast, which is an anti-Semitic podcast.

There's no other way to put it.

But in any case, we need to get the, you know, the voter, we need to get the voter ID thing through.

What are you expecting? What are you hearing about tonight's presser?

Yeah.

He is a man who takes election integrity very seriously.

It, it's interesting 'cause you guys have been kind to promote over and over again my last book, Breaking the Law, where I go through all these cases against President Trump, and a, a lot of them were kinda predicated on him thinking it was sort of an act, that he was fired up about 2020 being stolen, that people thought that it was just something he was using to manipulate.

Uh, but he is unequivocally convinced that that election got stolen from him.

It, it's not a joke.

He's not faking it.

Why do we need to go in deeper? That's my question.
