ay too many men for women? Because all that matters is the number of women. It doesn't matter the number of men. Yeah, we'll talk about Maui. So they're in big trouble. Can you remind me, did I say on livestream or did I only say it to my private group on the man cave? Did I tell you that Vivek ended the risk of war with China over Taiwan? It did. Yeah. I'll just say it again in case I missed it.…

guess Trump is going to be interviewing with Tucker Carlson at the same time as the Fox debates. Do I have that right? Give me a fact check on that. There would be televised both live. So would Tucker be live or recorded? That part I don't know. Can somebody get this? Now if Tucker will be live or recorded, because I feel like it would be recorded and edited because... I don't know that because it would be streamed on Twitter live. Okay. Let me give a just a feel for the audience. If you had a choice of which one to watch live, let's say maybe you record the other one, which one will you watch live? Go. Which one will you watch live? Almost all Trump Tucker. Now is that because you're mad at Fox News? Because I would go the other way. So I would watch... here's my take on it. This is just personal, so this is not a recommendation or anything. It's just the way I'll do it. I feel like Trump talking to Tucker, I've already seen it, you know what I mean? I wouldn't really expect a surprise. Now Trump might come up with a surprise because he's smart enough to know that would be the thing that would suck all the energy away from Fox News. But I don't know that he has one. You know, what could he say that we haven't already heard?

So I am really curious about watching Vivek dismantle the other Republicans. So to me the real show is Vivek because he's the wild card in all this. Everybody else is some version of Mike Pence, am I right? It's like Vivek versus Mike Pence, Mike Pence, the other Mike Pence, the woman Mike Pence, you know, the black Mike Pence. But basically it's just a bunch of Mike Pences and then Vivek. Now that's the show. Now given that there will be lots of people there, how many people are going to be in the debate? Too many, right? Too many to be a proper debate. It's just everybody gets their little thing to say.

All right. Well, I think I'm going to watch the debate and record Tucker, but most of you are going to do the opposite, right? Or not even watch the debate because it's on Fox and you're all mad at them or something. All right. Let me ask you this. Do you think you're helping yourself by not watching Fox News? Are you helping yourself? People say yes, it helps you not to watch them because... what? Because you're punishing them? How does it help you? Well, what am I doing wrong? All right. I need some help here. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. I turn on Fox News. I watch The Five, my favorite show, and then I'm all happy. What did I do wrong? Like why doesn't that work for you? Because you don't like the network? I'm not even sure what the problem is. Because they've lied in the past, you say. But how does that make The Five less entertaining? If I'm watching Gutfeld in the evening, what does anything that Fox News did in the past have to do with that? Yeah, I don't feel like... I feel l

ike you're kind of boycotting members of your own team. I get that you're mad at them for whatever they did or didn't do, but how's that good for you? I don't think... I would say this: think of your own self-interest. That's probably more important than any statement you're going to make. All right. Well, that'll be fun. Elon Musk tweeted that he's going to get rid of the block feature on X. Wha…
