I think one of the messages of the show is we're not always going to agree, but
if we
can disagree and sit at the table and do it and then do it again the next night,
I think
that's modeling good behavior.
So you think the people watching it don't leave it more pissed?
No, I don't actually.
I think they leave it, hopefully, they leave it more informed because you heard
somebody
say something that you hadn't considered as part of the overall discourse.
You think really?
I do actually.
No, come on.
Well, at least for me.
I think people are like, "Let's go, Scott."
I agree with that, but also, I think sometimes what I'm doing is giving people
a way to debate
or a way to argue or sort of a debating vector that they hadn't thought of, and
so I sort
of feel like I'm informing a whole bunch of people.
Kind of giving your boys the roadmap.
Yeah, but I also think a lot of our audience is not conservative, and so I do
think people
out there look at these debates and they say, "Why would someone believe that?"
And they're going to get the best possible answer to that if they listen to me.
What is the liberal media?
I guess it's used a lot as a term.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, our point of view is that a lot of mainstream or corporate media
is framed
or designed to frame things in a way that are inherently negative to
Republicans or negative
to conservatives and sort of positive to Democrats or positive to liberals.
And look who works there.
I mean, University of Syracuse did a study on this recently.
Most people who work in the media are Democrats.
Very few are actually Republicans.
And so there's a perception that there is no balance.
Do you worry that you're making money for the liberal media because you're like
the star
of the show?
You're driving ratings.
Is there a conflict there inside of you?
A conflict?
No.
No.
Yeah.
Because you're like the liberal media benefits.
Like you're making cash for them boys.
Because I think they benefit when more Republicans turn it on.
Right.
And my job is, and my mission is, is to make it safe for conservatives again.
Uh huh.
And I think we are.
Everywhere I go, I have Republicans telling me, I hadn't watched CNN in years,
I'm watching
it now.
There are more Republican office holders who are willing to come on.
Yeah.
And that's good for them as the liberal media, no?
It's good for the media.
I'm not sure.
This isn't a gotcha.
No, no, no.
It's kind of interesting.
I think it's good for the media in general.
Yeah.
I think it's a really owned subsidiary of one political party.
Do you think that CNN would give you a show ever?
I have no idea.
Have you at?
You've asked.
Come on bro.
I have no idea.
You should have a show.
You're one of the biggest stars on CNN.
I have no idea.
Yeah.
I'm grateful for what I have.
Do they have a conservative show on CNN?
No.
No.
Because of the liberal media.
We do not.
The shmiburl shmedia.
What would you qualify as your like political project like, like currently,
like what is the
one thing that you're advocating for that you want to see happen?
Yeah.
That I want to see happen?
Yeah.
Like doubt.
Well, look, I think we're not arguing about politics as usual anymore.
I think there's a war on the future of the West.
I think Western civilization hangs in the balance.
I think Elon is right about this.
Who's fighting the West?
The East?
No.
The West.
The West is the civilization that has given us everything from the Bible to the
university
to the constitution.
But who's against the West?
Well, let's see.
How about the terrorists in the Middle East?
How about the people who think the United States of America was a rotten failed
experiment
needs to be ripped out root and branch?
Who said that?
How about people who, how about people who believe that we should have mass
migration from
all over the world and no borders?
Whose idea is that?
The left right now.
The left?
What's their project?
What's all over the world here?
That is their project.
Really?
And also people who are-
Do they say that?
Do they say we want everyone here in America?
Yeah.
Pretty much that's what they run on.
What do they say?
They say that in a debate.
They say everyone should come here?
They have senators going to El Salvador to have Mai Tais and Yahtzee with MS-13
gang bangers
that we deported.
Yeah, that's pretty much what they run on.
They go on vacation with MS-13?
Yeah.
I thought it was to look at that scary prison place where everyone has to sit
on the floor.
Did you not see the picture?
They're having margaritas.
They had a drink?
Yes.
Van Hollen having drinks with Kilmer Abrego Garcia.
This is what they run on.
Oh, the guy that got deported.
Yeah.
Well, he's back now.
He had a drink with him?
Yes.
He quit, bro.
Dude, look it up.
They're not having a drink.
If you're not better prepared than this for Abby, you're going to get cooked.
No, no.
I am.
No, that's fine.
Because you just pivoted.
No, that is a stretch.
It's not a stretch.
A guy had a drink with a guy that was deported.
Yes.
A senator.
A US senator went to El Salvador on taxpayer money to show his fidelity with
these illegal aliens.
That prison is really a scary place.
They weren't in the prison.
They were at a dinner table.
But you saw pictures of that prison.
It's scary.
Was it?
It's not scary for me to see people there.
You think it's cool, that prison?
I think deporting illegal aliens is what the American people voted for last
year.
We are fighting illiberalism right now in the world.
There's a whole bunch of people out there who have given up on speech, given up
on debate,
and they think politics should go beyond that.
It's this illiberal, undemocratic views.
Who's given up on speech?
Just explain.
I think there are people, actors in our politics, and I'm not saying it's fully
confined to
one side.
But there's a lot of illiberalism out there when it comes to speech and debate.
And it's one of the reasons I do the job that I do.
You guys don't like free speech other.
We love free speech.
No, you guys ban Harry Potter and shit.
In schools.
Did we?
Yeah.
It's too scary to have Harry Potter in the school.
I love JK.
You guys are trying to ban the person who wrote it.
What?
What do you mean, you guys?
What?
I love Harry Potter.
If you're going to...
I watch all those movies every Christmas, which I celebrate now.
But do you like JK Rowling?
I don't care.
I don't think everything has to be politicized.
A lot of people on the internet don't like...
But you guys do ban books and stuff like that.
Do we?
Yeah, like books.
Porn?
Porn for children with a bandit.
Saying gay in a school you're not allowed to say it or something.
Who fucking cares?
I mean like...
Who cares about whether little school children get pornography in their library?
Porno?
I mean...
Who's got porno in libraries?
You'd be surprised.
Scott, come on.
Scott.
Brother.
Scott, there's no porno in libraries.
I know, we got rid of it.
What pornos did they get rid of?
Dude.
Naylin Palin was in a school?
What are you fucking...
Scott, obviously that's like some fucking hysteria bullshit.
No.
I mean yes, the Democrats are scolds these days.
And it's annoying.
They are scolds.
But they're not putting gang bangs in an elementary school.
They might be.
No, they're not.
You might want to look into it.
No, just be a grown up for a second.
No, they're not.
I am.
What you see is like telling kids to watch like Pornhub.
It doesn't make sense.
No.
What it makes...
Did you hear that?
Is that a rumor?
Is...
No.
I'm saying...
What are you trying to say?
Like what?
That there's hardcore sex in schools that is coming from Chuck Schumer.
He's like we have to put the most nasty stuff in kindergarten.
He's not...
That's not a real thing.
I'm not...
I don't know if Chuck Schumer has specifically opined upon it.
So who's doing the porn in the school?
But you...
But there have been numerous documented instances...
Where?
Of...
In schools and school libraries all over the country.
What is the porn that was in the school libraries all over the country?
What is it?
It's like...
You're saying something but I'm just...
Just tell me.
Yeah.
Just educate me if I'm...
Pornographic materials aimed at very young children.
Which ones?
Which ones?
Do you want a list?
Are you looking for weekend reading?
Just tell me.
Tell me what...
I just...
I'm asking.
Because it doesn't sound right to me.
Yeah.
I don't...
I'm low information.
I'm...
But it sounds a little ridiculous that that's a real thing.
It's like...
It's like...
It's...
There have been numerous documented instances of highly sexual, highly pornographic
materials
that have shown up in libraries...
But what were they?
Where, you know, legitimately small children can access it.
I have a problem with that.
In a school?
In a school.
In a library.
That just doesn't sound right.
I know.
You could Google it.
You have an iPad.
No.
You're just saying something that you just...
You're...
I'm not.
Scott, you're stalling because you can't think of one.
Well, I don't wanna...
I mean, I don't know what the names of it is.
I just know what it is.
You should know the names if you're making a claim.
I should carry around the names of pornographic books.
If you're saying that this is happening, you should say the thing.
Okay.
Just destroyed Scott once again, guys.
Loser and Rubble.
I mean, I don't care.
I mean, they should...
Yeah, they shouldn't look at porn.
Obviously...
Do you agree with me?
Yeah.
You should do it like I did, you know, my day, where I had to go to the woods
and find
a magazine that my friend's older brother left there.
In the woods?
Yeah, that's what porn used to be before the iPad, before you could see
anything.
I don't think that's good, but I don't think it sounds like the Democrats are
saying,
"Let's put some nasty stuff in front of babies."
It just sounds a little bit like not the real world.
Okay.
You're welcome to believe that, but I think you're wrong.
In your book, how much porno is in this thing?
Zero.
50%.
Yeah, 50% porn.
And it's kind of like a Fabio romance novel.
It's like, I caught Donald's eye across the room.
And here's the thing.
There's something in there for everybody.
No matter what your kink is, you'll find it in the pages.
What outfit have you worn on TV that you're most proud of?
Most proud of?
Yeah.
I wore a pilgrim hat on TV last Thanksgiving.
And that was your greatest moment?
I was fairly proud.
Oh yeah, I was fairly proud of that.
And what did they say to you about that as a settler colonial style?
They were initially surprised, but it was live television, so they couldn't
stop me.
Oh, I also wore a Hulkamania t-shirt on Abby's show one night.
That is cool.
And I'll tell you when I did it.
When they appointed Rubio, Secretary of State.
Little Marco, I called.
And I said, well, who are they going to appoint Senator?
I wore my Hulkamania, because he lived in Florida.
I said, he stands up to the Russians, and he stands up to the Iranians like the
Iron Sheik.
We need Hulkster in the Senate, so I was pushing Hulkster for Senate.
Oh, I thought you meant Rubio stands up.
He does, but he got pointed out, and so we had to put in a new Senator, and I
wanted the Hulkster.
I wish Hulk Hogan was the—I wish H.H. Brother was the President of the United
States.
