What do you do if Dinesh D’Souza says something smart? Who do you root for in Dinesh vs. Tucker? Steve Schmidt’s epic and highly informative McCain meltdown. Was Schmidt trying to rehabilitate his Lincoln Project co-founder? Oligarchs—the missing link in the Trump-Putin mystery? The CEO of Twitter can’t write. The black hole started in Bob’s house. Bob and Mickey bond over dislike of Adam Schiff—But what will the extraterrestrials say? Why Mickey didn’t make it to station four of Station Eleven. The Station Eleven line that Bob liked. The brilliant anti-woke project that only Mickey’s friend thought of. Mickey appalled by howler at the beginning of This Will Not Pass. Mickey’s earnest point No. 1: Child tax credit. Mickey’s earnest point No. 2: As Latinos turn Republican, immigration reform becomes doable. Did two Korean twins just prove Charles Murray wrong? Bob is stuck in the swamps of Jersey. Bob-Mickey throwdown over Tucker Carlson’s alleged dog whistles. Who’s afraid of Provigil? Is Omicron just as deadly as Delta?—Don’t be so sure. Please explain to the aging boomers why the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial is culturally significant. Why French Country-Western is so great. The Cracklin’ Parrot’s ear worm.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
