Well, gentlemen, I mentioned that today is a special edition of the program. And today we're going to kind of alter our typical format and have a broad based two hour conversation about what I think is the most pressing political problem we face on the right right this moment.

It's not the biggest problem. Did I say it was the biggest problem? No, no. In fact, I would actually prefer this problem compared to some other pressing political problems we've had in the past.

But when I say pressing, it's because time is of the essence. Timing is of the essence. Is this a bigger problem for us than getting rid of critical race theory or right critical race is theory? No. Is it a bigger problem for us than ending abortion or protecting the border? No.

So I want to make sure we start off by putting this in its right and proper context. It's just a pressing problem because timing in life is it may not be everything, but it is a lot of things right. I mean, you look at the success of of our book taught one of the main reasons for its success was it's timing. Yes.

Right. I mean, if we had brought the book out now, which is about the time it would have come out. You know, sometime later in 2021, if we had done this in hardcover or you know a typical publishing process, what we have sold 100,000 copies of that book probably not probably not would it still have been the most successful book I've had my name on sure because of the subject matter and the growth of this program this program has grown more and broader than it ever has been before.

But would we have sold 100,000 copies of this? No, we would probably not have we were the first out of the gate. We got it out into the audiences at first. And so it kind of owned this space all to itself. But now a lot of other people, thankfully are now addressing and attacking at the same time fair.

Correct. So timing is not everything, but it is a big thing.

And so that's why we would describe this as the most pressing problem we have on the right. What is that problem?

Should we be down for Trump 2024?

Now, when we say that we have bigger problems, we do, we just listed a few. When I say I would prefer this pressing problem to many of the others I've had to address in my career in politics, it's because whatever you think about him as an individual or a brand.

At the same time, he has delivered more for us than any national Republican figure I can think of in recent memory certainly since Reagan left the national stage. Can you think of anybody on a national level is delivered more for us?

It's a low bar, but no, it is a low bar. And that's see that, but that's our dilemma is it not the dilemma is did he do enough?

Exactly. Have we already been disappointed by, I mean, Neil Gorsuch already has codified gender mutilation as a into the civil code Amy Coney Barrett refused to give the deciding vote on cert for that poor florist in Washington state, Baron L. Stutzman, right.

So can we sit here and say that he did enough? I mean, it only took a few, a few weeks of the Biden administration since Trump could get nothing done either when Republicans had Congress or Democrats. He had to do everything by the stroke of a pen pretty much.

And so the Biden administration came in and wiped away a lot of his presidency and a matter of weeks of not months, right. So did he do enough? I think all three of us would also answer. No, right.

But did he do more than we have gotten before? Absolutely. Absolutely. And so this is our dilemma. Both these things are absolutely true. So when we see our fans or listeners or followers or viewers or our peers in our industry say, hey, he's done more for us than any president in 30 years because that's how long ago Reagan left the national stage.

Is that true? It is true. But then when people like us and some other people come back with, yeah, but then we didn't do this, this we didn't follow up on that. Is that also true? Yes. See this now is this is the dilemma. Is it not these things are both true and and I think empirically true at the same time. Yes. Okay.

And that's important because that's called being a grown up and yes, and the tribalisms are nonstop on this front. They're needless most of the time. Yes. This is empirical. This is one plus one equals two stuff. If you let it. And then you can get on to algebra and calculate. Sure, you can never get there. If you keep telling yourself the same line, just make it personal for a second. If my wife was here, we put the Wonder Woman last of truth around her. And you asked her is Steve Dase a good husband to you. I believe her answer would be yes.

Yes. If you asked her has Steve Dase let you down as your husband in the past, you know what her answer would also be. Yes. Yes. Okay. And so this is where the calculus into the Lema comes in or did the let downs outway the overall assessment. Okay. So I now just speaking for me personally.

And maybe I'll let you two chime in on this as well. The reason why we're going to have this conversation today is twofold one I will address in a moment because a brilliant piece was written earlier that I thought so well articulated this dilemma and from a guy that I think is it could be the most cash money.
