Ooh, I have watched a romantic comedy alone. Hmm, hmm. I should be doing the trash game. I know, this is sort of telling on us here. Senator Haggerty, thank you for taking time out of your otherwise serious schedule today to play my drinking game. No drinks, only getting to know one another. The last time I was able to interview you, it was very serious. Senator Cruz was there.

We were talking about issues and things. profound questions. And I promise you this will be much more frivolous. I will ask the question first. You have to guess how I would answer. I have an advantage here because you're a U.S. Senator, so I probably know what you think more than you know what I think. I own cryptocurrency. So you have to answer whether you think I own cryptocurrency. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to guess yes. And the yes part there. I'm ashamed to say, you're wrong. I would be a wealthier man today.

Oh, actually, no, you know what? I answered wrong, you answered right. I do own cryptocurrency. I don't own any of the good ones. Bitcoin or, you know, I don't own the ones that make you money. I've bought the dumb meme coins. Let's go, Brandon coin, Doge coin, all the ones. And so I've lost all my money.

But luckily, it was only a small amount of money. But my friends who invested in Bitcoin or other forms of crypto earlier are now wealthier than me, probably. Oh, I tell you, my children are upset with me because I won't let them invest in it. I want to be able to legislate. I don't want to have any ownership because I don't think it's a conflict of interest. It would certainly draw, you know, higher in the media. So we don't do it, but my kids have been dead. You know, you're making us miss these opportunities.

Well, especially some of your colleagues, I can't help but notice, especially the Democrat colleagues, especially those in the lower chamber, do sometimes seem to have really high-performing portfolios. Tell me about it. And that raises some questions about their government work. So honorable, even though you're foregoing, potentially some great returns. Ooh, I have watched a romantic comedy alone. Hmm. Hmm. That should be doing the trash gammon.

I know. This is sort of telling on us here. Has Senator Tim Scott watched a romantic comedy? Getting married next Saturday. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to I'm going to say no. Senator Scott has no. Okay. All right.

You're getting married next. It's next Saturday. Next Saturday. I know you're engaged. Congratulations. Thank you very much. That's great news. All right. And great news for your wife that you've never watched a romantic company alone. I've watched the number of Iron Man shows alone.

I've watched Superman. I know DC Com, people get upset. But the bottom line is simply this. There are some things a man can do, and then there's some things I cannot do. Others may be more comfortable than I am. Sure, you're not casting aspersions. I'm not telling you what you should do. I'm not telling you what I will not do. You will not do.

There's so much more to say. First, though, go to preborn.com slash knolls. The left is zealous for the blood of babies going as far as supporting free abortions at the DNC. Kamala's extreme radical stands for abortion is clear in her running mate. As first things reported, quote, Tim Wals supports the right to infanticide. Infanticide is the taking of a baby's life after birth. I suppose it would also refer to it before birth. But specifically after birth, that's what they're supporting.

It's insane. The media have dubbed this the abortion election. We've got to stand up to this evil. When you join forces with preborn, the largest pro-life organization in the country, you're protecting the greatest victims in our society, babies in their mother's womb. Preborn's network of clinics is positioned in the highest abortion areas in the country. They've rescued over 300,000 babies. When a woman considering abortion searches

to end her baby's life, preborn is there. The power of the ultrasound combined with God's love doubles a baby's chance at life. One ultrasound is just $28.5 ultrasounds are 140. Right now, to donate securely, thou pound 250, say baby. That is pound 250, keyword baby, or you can go to preborn.com slash knolls. Preborn.com slash knolls. There are valid reasons for hiding money from your spouse. Probably relevant here at Bitcoin conference. Okay.

I think you would say, I think you would say no. You're right. You would say no. Okay, but I've got one counter-exam. What if it's not necessarily intentional? But you're one of these guys who got into crypto 10 years ago. and you got a bazillion dollars on a thumb drive, and you lost it in your sock drawer,

and now no one knows where it is. That would be, it would seem to me a valid reason to hide it from your space. You would be hiding it from yourself as well. I guess so. But I've heard of people doing this. I think my wife would be very upset with you, she found out that you lost that sort of value. But I tell you, having that sort of openness and clarity,

I read an article not long ago, about a guy who passed away, and he left his 401K to some girlfriend years before, and forgot about it. And after he passes away, his family is like, what happened here? Lucky for the old girlfriend. Yeah, I think generally that's probably. Also because I'm not saying I'm bad with money. I find the wives can be a little more organized sometimes. So just even for my own preservation of my own family as well, better that she knows where things are. I think that's right. My wife is also, she's got a master's degree in economics, but she's very adept at

spending money too. This is more better than I am. Marvel movies are modern-day westerns. How you would answer. Can I show your audience my answer? You can, yeah, I'll look away. Okay.

Man of culture, you say yes. You got it right, man. Listen, there's no doubt I was a Bonanza fan growing up. You know, every day when it came on, you wanted to watch. Everybody liked Haas, you know, a little Joe.

Today, everyone likes Iron Man. Yes. It's undeniably true. It is the pop culture of our time. And it's also literally true in that Logan is a superhero movie, but it's a Western. It's basically a Western. It basically has the same characteristics, not specifically, but figuratively speaking, as the old Westerns. Yes.

Where you have enough time to develop a love and a passion for a character. Yes. Yep. Yep. Okay. Almost dies. It goes out of life, but then he dies again. Okay. You're right.

If a random stranger were being attacked by a shark in shallow water, I would jump into hell. This is what I'd jump into help. A random stranger. I'm learning about myself, as I consider this question. I'm going to go in yes. I at least like to think I would. I don't know if I'd be the most help generally, but I think it would be, one would be morally obligated to provide some assistance.

Absolutely. And that assistance might be the difference in life and death. Yes. Okay. That's good. Now, I hope it's not tested. But, but, but, uh, and I appreciate your, your faith in me that I would do the right that.

Cigar, this is an outrageous prompt. This is an outrageous promise. You have to answer how I would do. Cigars are just pretentious cigarettes. Oh. That's all right. This isn't going to take me. two-second stance. No.

Obvious. That's insulting. That is a deeply... I wish I had a beautiful Mayflower cigar to give you right now on this... I'm furious at whichever producer wrote that question. Because the other thing is, something is not pretentious, if it is not pretend. You know, and cigar smokers, I'm just speaking for myself. There's nothing... I love a good cigar. I knew the answer to that, and all my cigar-loving friends, not anymore pretentious.

No, no. To pretend. That's right. Best wishes for the nuptials and honeymoon. Thank you for sitting down. Senator Haggerty, thank you very much for taking it on. That was fun. If you've not already, you must go to dailyware.com slash shop. You must get the yes or no game.

So you can play yourself.
