Coming up, Lydia Moynihan from the New York Post joins me so we can argue about the Venezuelan

0:05.3

boat strikes. We talk a little bit about the Trump economy and the affordability crisis and

0:10.5

socialism spreading among Democrats. And then Ari joins for the back half of the show after a disastrous

0:18.1

day getting to the vet to talk about the Somali fraud scheme stuff happening in Minnesota,

0:26.7

and then a really good grievances section.

0:28.9

You guys are going to show up now.

0:52.2

Both my co-hosts are absent today. Camille, good excuse, Ari, good

0:56.8

excuse, family stuff, dog stuff. Thankfully, we had a guest plan for the show today, so you don't

1:04.0

have to just listen to me. I'm not here by myself. I'm joined by Lydia Moynihan, a columnist at the New York

1:10.0

Post, who has been all over. I mean, I can't turn on my TV without seeing here anymore, which is awesome. I'm so sorry. That's terrible. No, no, I'm a fan. Lydia, thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you joining us on short notice. Of course. I'm glad that you're not like, oh, this bitch.

1:34.6

No. No, no, no. Though I think some people do feel that way. So I did, I will say,

1:39.6

I brought you here today because I have beef, but we're going to get into it. I have, I disagree with one of your takes. And my favorite thing to do is to have these conversations with people when I'm on the

1:44.7

other side of stuff. So I want to get into that. We're going to talk Venezuela boat strikes where

1:50.1

you and I are on opposite sides of this one. I'm going to give you a chance to make your case.

1:53.5

Because I, last week I went off and Ari and Camille, who are my co-host on the show, they were

1:59.7

basically on my side. Oftentimes, the three of us disagree a lot. That's what Tangles is all about. That's why we're here. But we were just like a line last week. And then I saw your clip on this. I'll tell you a funny story, actually. I went to go, I was going to quote tweet something you had tweeted because we follow each other on Twitter. Like I said, I'm a fan of your stuff.

2:18.3

I was going to quote something you tweeted and like criticize it. And then I was like, this is such like a media asshole thing to do. Just like tell her to come on the show and talk about it. And the idea I'm doing, you're like immediately game. So I am stoked to have you here. But I always do, before we jump in with our guests, the first thing I

2:35.1

always do is I'd love to just hear a little bit about your background, like how you got into media.

2:40.3

Give us the Lydia Moynihan story on how you ended up in the New York Post and all over CNN and

2:46.3

Fox News and doing all these awesome TV hits. I see you doing.

2:49.6

The spiel. Well, I've always wanted to be hits I see you doing. The spiel.

2:51.8

Well, I've always wanted to be, I'm not shit, so I'm on my quest to do just that.
