All right, he hello, get everyone to welcome to it. It is the Derek Hunter podcast of the 13th

book. It'll be announced at the end of the show. You'll have to tune in or wait and fast forward

or whatever to that point to find out. And I'll also announce what the next autographed book

in competition will be at patreon.com slash Derek Hunter podcast or Derek Hunter.locals.com.

Check it out. Don't be the only one who doesn't do it. All the cool kids are smoking. Anyway,

appreciate the support. We have a lot to get to. Let's get to it. We've got a lot of stuff to

get to. This might be a record day for audio. I don't know if I'm going to get to it, but 15 cuts.

15 cuts up there. There is a lot going on and you sit there and you cut. There's nothing super

overwhelming. We're going to demonstrate why it is that and it will start off with this.

Why it is Republicans need to either be tougher or smarter. It'd be better if they were both.

But tougher or smarter when it comes to dealing with the media. Everybody remembers the

Trump administration when President Trump he had there's a lot of conservative media out there.

But he chose to call Maggie Averman of the New York Times like they were high school friends

laughing about the good old days. More often than he did give say interviews to the Washington

free beacon or even really conservative talk radio. He'd go on Hannity occasionally, but

you got to mix it up. The people who listen to Hannity listen to Hannity and the people who

listen to somebody else listen to somebody else. You got to kind of go do all of it and instead

of that he went to the New York Times. Part of that was don't Trump is a New Yorker at heart. He'll

always be a New Yorker and that is the hometown paper that matters. If you're in the New York,

you can get in the New York Post. All you got to do is sleep with a supermodel back in the 80s
