hmm.
37:34
And if you want to see, and I know this is going to sound funny, but you're a 90s kid too, so you're going to get it.
37:41
The person who gave the best analysis and the best postmortem of this election was actually Spencer Pratt.
37:49
If you go to, he has it on X and he's talking about that the real issue is not whether or not people delivered on their promises.
37:58
It's not whether or not there's a war, the gas prices went up or what have you.
38:04
Those are certainly issues and they're certainly factors, but the real, real factor is the branding.
38:13
Instead of going out and saying, we feel your pain, we know what to do, we're going to work hard to address these kitchen table issues.

5 MINS LATER

43:40
to be too busy running for president.
36:00
Can you tell us about about the father of Abdul El-Saeed and why maybe this is important information that people know before Tuesday's election?
36:13
Yeah.
36:14
Yeah.
36:15
So he is on the board of a an Islamic charity.
36:22
And this charity has, they advertise themselves as like somebody who helps with, you know, development and all the generic things that we help with, right? But the charity has been linked to some really sketchy stuff.
36:42
So you have to go back a little ways on this.
36:44
So if you go back to when Iraq fell in 2004, Saddam Hussein has been toppled.

7 MINS LATER

43:47
I get that.
2:52
What do you make? We can kind of get into each one individually as we go here, but what do you make
2:57
of all this? Let me knock out the name thing first.
2:59
Please, yeah.
3:00
So...
3:02
What I'm taking from it, and this is, I'm looking at the legal aspect of it.
3:10
The way it's written, it suggests that these are both names that she has used.
3:16
It reads to me like she has used both of these names, not one of these names is clearly fraudulent.
4:33
Not to my knowledge, yeah.
12:24
Yeah.
12:25
Yeah.
12:27
I don't think that we are in a scenario where the execution isn't necessarily going to be stopped.
12:34
I think that there are going to be people who are angry about it.
12:39
But I don't know.
12:41
And I do think that Trump's decision to back off the execution was probably political more than anything else.
12:48
because he sees it as making a concession that isn't actually going to hurt him and might actually help him with moderates going into the midterms.
14:42
One of them, they were publishing things about his wife, literally calling her a
43:02
It's never, well, I
43:03
just didn't quite get that.
43:07
But if you look at what's going on in the Arab world, they have been so long looking at the Jewish people as the scapegoats.
43:19
there's always, you only have to take one or two steps and you can find a way to blame the Jews for it.
43:25
And so what you have here is Mamdani saying, okay, well, you know, yeah, some people, it's the Ilhan Omar, some people did something.
