00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: happened about a half hour ago on Twitter, and many

00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: of you have certainly.

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Not seen this news.

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: So I don't think we ever decided buck on the

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: official breaking news sounder that we would have on the program,

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: But I want to make sure that I get this right,

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: so I'm reading. We'll read the full press release here

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: just momentarily because we don't know a lot of details.

00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Friday will be

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: the final show that he ever does. Buck, I was

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: on that show Friday. I was not in any way

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: knowledgeable about this. It was a totally normal Friday edition

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: of the program. And in the last thirty minutes they

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: have officially announced it. They also announced it on Harris

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: Faulkner's show as well. Now Here is the official statement.

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: I want to read it, and then obviously eight hundred.

00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: we are in shock here.

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so everybody understands, like, we had no idea,

35
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: and Clay read the statement and we'll tell everybody what

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: we're seeing.

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways.

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: This is a statement that was just released in the

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: last half hour or so. We thank him for his

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: service to the network as a host and prior to that,

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: as a contributor. Mister Carlson's last program was Friday, April

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: twenty first. Fox News Tonight will air live at eight

43
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: pm Eastern, starting this evening as an interim show helmed

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: by rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named,

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: and that is basically the full statement that is out

46
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: so far. Buck, We've been trying to monitor Twitter certainly. Look,

47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm a Fox News employee. I was on the final

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: show for Tucker Carlson Friday, as I just told all

49
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: of you, some of you may have seen it. No

50
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: suggestion that Tucker was completing his tenure at Fox News.

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: That was on Friday. I was just on Fox News

52
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: an hour ago on America Reports with Bill Hammer Dana Perino,

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: no idea this was happening, Buck.

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: So let's let just walked into the student in and

55
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: you just you know other things we are going to

56
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: talk about today.

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Just give you a sense of the things that we

58
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: had lined up.

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: Eric Adams says the migrant crisis is destroying New York City, DC,

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: requiring vaccine for kids to return to schools, a lot

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: of things. Yeah, on the radar, Gavin Newsom calls in

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: the California National Guard to help combat San Francisco's ongoing

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: phemol crisis.

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: And we will get to all of this.

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: But we just came in here and I actually thought

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: it was and I was told to admit this. I

67
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: thought the tweet that I saw on this was disinformation,

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: Like I thought this.

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Someone may got hacked, I mean, which doesn't happen.

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe that this had happened.

71
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of theories. Here's what we know

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: right now. First of all, I won't speak for Clay.

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I let Clay say, you know, his own piece on Tucker.

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: I think Tucker is a phenomenal talent and did a

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: great show and stepped into he you know, I think

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: we have a little bit of you know, we know

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: what is it to step into the shoes of the

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: greatest who's been in the medium. Yes, Bill O'Reilly had

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: the biggest show on cable news for twenty years. Bill

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: O'Reilly and TV was the closest thing to rush on

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: talk radio in terms of the number one guy, the

82
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: biggest and the best. And Tucker came in and did,

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: by the ratings, a phenomenal job, right, he was doing

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: a great show. And you know, look, I'll say this,

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: my wife worked for Tucker at one point as a

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: brucer on his show. And he's a really good guy.

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: He's a good person, a good human being. And I

88
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: sit here and I'm just I just can't imagine. I mean,

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 3: this is one of those moments where I had assumed

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: that Tucker's voice was going to be one of those

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: weighing in alongside alongside ours and others, and this going

92
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: into this male stream of an election, and we're just

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: getting getting used to the reality that, you know, he

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: may go do other projects, but he's not going to

95
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: be the guy at eight pm every night, the ten

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: poll at eight pm over at Fox News. We don't

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: have any more insight to this and to the you

98
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: know Clay and I know a lot of people in business, Clay's.

99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Obviously a Fox employee.

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: I'd say this talker gave the Heritage Found a Foundation

101
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: gala address Friday night. Yeah, didn't get to say goodbye.

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Now, I just I don't.

103
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: Have any inside information yet into what happened here. We're

104
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: putting out our source, our feelers and talking to people.

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: But Clay didn't get to say goodbye.

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: Does seem to indicate that this decision might have been

107
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: made over the weekend?

108
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: One hundred percent it was made over the weekend.

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: So again, I was on his show Friday, buck totally

110
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: normal show. I was with his staff in the in

111
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: the building Fox News Building on on Friday afternoon. No

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: one had any clue that this was happening. And frankly,

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean to your point, Tucker had an address that

114
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: he was doing at the Heritage Foundation. They had their

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: big gala event over the weekend. But I know for

116
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: a fact that if Tucker had known that Friday was

117
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: is going to be his final show, now what exactly happened.

118
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Let's say this too. Tucker is such a talented media person.

119
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: I have been in a situation where I went out

120
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: without kicks, started my own media brand. Tucker already started

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: The Daily Caller and sold it several years ago. I

122
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: imagine made a good living on that. He has the

123
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: ability to spin out and do his own media ecosystem

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: that would surround him and it would be wildly successful

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: and wildly profitable at launch. So I don't imagine that

126
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: Tucker's voice is going to really be curtailed, But the

127
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: impact to Fox News, I would think. I mean, if

128
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: you were going to say, I think this is fair buck,

129
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: which person is sort of the tip of the spear

130
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: of the Fox News.

131
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Brand right now? I would say it was Tucker.

132
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 2: Now, Sean Hannity has been wildly successful for thirty years,

133
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: I would say he's right there too. But in terms

134
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: of the driving force of attention, of attack of just

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: sort of the media colossus right now at Fox News,

136
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: I would say that it's Tucker. And certainly ratings reflect

137
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: nobody had a more watched nightly news program than Tucker

138
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: Carlson on cable for sure.

139
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: And there's a look the theories that are out there

140
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: right now, and they are theories, and if we knew,

141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: we would tell you, or even I should say, if

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: we had a greater degree of certainty right now, because

143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: here here's the thing you might be saying.

144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: To yourself, Oh, well, you know Clay and Buck.

145
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: You know they know Tucker and they like him, and

146
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: so is this as big of a I think anybody

147
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: who watches Fox News understands how big a deal this is.

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's also.

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: A bigger deal within the media ecosystem going into it.

150
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: It's going to be a very contentious election. AOC over

151
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: the weekend said, you know, Tucker does incitement. She probably

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: said literally, but incitement to violence with what he says

153
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: on his show. They've been trying to take him down

154
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: for a long time. So I'm just going to say

155
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: this when when a name like Tucker gets taken off

156
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: of his of his perch, gets taken off of his platform,

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: it makes all the rest of us start to think, Okay,

158
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: who else are they coming for?

159
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: Now?

160
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Where you know what?

161
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: Other not just heads may roll, but but big changes

162
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: could be made in the ecosystem of what we're allowed

163
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: to have conversations about. I mean, folks, we talked about

164
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: it on the show Fox loss in basically, I know

165
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: they paid a settlement in advance, but they paid an

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: almost eight hundred million dollar lawsuit, and there are other

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: lawsuits pending. This law fair against conservative media has had

168
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: a blitzkrek victory in its first outing. There could be

169
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: other efforts right there could there are other lawsuits pending

170
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: right now we know, and not just against Fox by

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: the way, So you want to know how they can

172
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: drag old man Biden across the finish line, even though

173
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: it's a joke and it's preposterous and an insult to

174
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: the country that he's been president as long as he

175
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: has been shut down all the dissenting voices kick them

176
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: off of their platforms.

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: So a couple of other things. Fox Stock basically did

178
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: not budge on news of the dominion settlement, we talked

179
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: about this seven hundred and eighty million, whatever the dollar

180
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: figure was.

181
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Stock didn't move.

182
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: Right now, as we are speaking to you, the Fox

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: stock has dropped around four percent.

184
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it live. It is down.

185
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: Let's see a dollar thirty seven. Literally as we speak.

186
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: The only news that's been out at Fox at all

187
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: is Tucker Carlson leaving. So that is kind of a

188
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: representation of what the value is in the stock market,

189
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: at least in the short term associated with Tucker Carlson.

190
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: Now it reminds me a little bit buck of succession.

191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: And again some people got mad at me for the

192
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: spoiler alerts. But when the Logan Roy character spoiler spoiler spoiler,

193
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: turn it down if you're trying to catch up when

194
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: he passes this season, there is a moment where one

195
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: of his children on the program holds up the phone

196
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: and shows as the news is breaking, says, there's dad.

197
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: And you can see the impact of the Logan Roy

198
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: death on the stock price of Wastetar, the company that

199
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: is in succession. Right, So Tucker Carlson is not dead,

200
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: but his show is no longer going to exist, and

201
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: there is an immediate reaction in the stock market to

202
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson having completed his last show on Friday. Now, Oftentimes,

203
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: and I will say oftentimes, there is a rush to

204
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: get the story out, so I read to you the

205
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: pr statement that is out. Tucker obviously has many allies.

206
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: In the media.

207
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: At some point he will decide, I would imagine, to

208
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: tell his story of what happened now.

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't, Maybe he's getting paid out under his

210
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: five contract.

211
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: I'm just tossing it out as a lawyer who's been

212
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: involved in cases like these before, so maybe he won't

213
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: get into the particulars of why he's leaving. All I

214
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: would say is from a pure business perspective, right strip

215
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: away all the emotion everything else. The value of Tucker

216
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: carlson media brand is massive, and my inclination would be

217
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: that his voice is not going to get less powerful,

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: if anything, if he is going out to join a

219
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: new media company or found a new media company, as

220
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: he's already done before. The people who are massive Tucker

221
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: Carlson fans, and I know that's many of you who

222
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: are listening to us right now, are going to be

223
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: able to find him no matter where he is.

224
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys all get this sense right.

225
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: Game respects game, and we both here have a lot

226
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: of respect for not everybody on the right. You know,

227
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: people have their places and their positions, and they have

228
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: their audiences. Not everybody is as talented as everybody else.

229
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: Tucker is a super talented guy. He is at the

230
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: peak of the ability to do this format and do

231
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: these do these kinds of monologues and cover the topics.

232
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll just say.

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: I remember in the early part of COVID going into

234
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: the b l M riots. Do you remember those those

235
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: monos that Tucker was doing when the streets were just

236
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: overrun with lunacy and anarchy and destruction, and it was

237
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: a voice of sanity calling it out and showing us

238
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 3: exactly what was going on.

239
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: When there was kind of a moment where a lot.

240
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: Of people in the right were, oh, I don't want

241
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: to I don't want to criticize BLM.

242
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look what happens. And he stood strong on

243
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: that one.

244
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: So we sit here and friends, this affects the way forward.

245
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: This this overall.

246
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 3: Reality of Tucker Carlson being out, the lawsuit against Fox,

247
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: the other lawsuits that are pending, against individuals, not even

248
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: just a massive corporation like Fox. The charges they're bringing

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 3: against Donald Trump multiple cases in the background, one already

250
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: taken to indictment phase. They're going to do everything they

251
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: can to try to shift the battlefield in their favor,

252
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: using the most underhanded.

253
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Legal tricks imaginable. I'm not so by the way, this

254
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: may have been entirely.

255
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: A Fox decision, but it's a decision that it's hard

256
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: to separate what's going on here with dominion from at

257
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: least the mentality inside the Fox News building Like that,

258
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: you have to think that this has an impact on

259
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody pays almost a billion dollar fine in

260
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: media and goes, oh, you know, no big deal. It's

261
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: a big deal. And there are other lawsuits still pending.

262
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: So I don't even know if this is the end,

263
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: is what I'm saying. I don't know if this necessarily

264
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: means that there's aren't there aren't going to be more

265
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: changes over there. And remember the fondest what are the

266
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: two things that the left has wanted to do Clay

267
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: for decades now? They want to take Fox News off

268
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: the air or make it CNN CNN light and not

269
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: talk radio off the air. So look at what's going

270
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: on right now, look at the efforts that they're putting

271
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: on underway to take away our platforms.

272
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: We'll come back. By the way. I want to hear

273
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: folks out there.

274
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: I mean, if you just want to let us know

275
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: what you think about Tucker being out, you know what,

276
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: I want to know how you feel about it. I mean,

277
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: are you still you're still going to be watching that

278
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: eight pm at Fox? You think that this is some

279
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: kind of a dirty, dirty hit coming from the outside,

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: We're we're stunned here, so we're turn into all of

281
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: you to let us know what you think.

282
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two eight a two.

283
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: The one monthly cost that's not been touched by inflation,

284
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: my friends, is Pure Talk's monthly cell phone service thirty

285
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: dollars a month for plenty of data and unlimited talk

286
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: and text. It's been that way for several years now

287
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: with no change in sight. Good for pure Talk for

288
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: being the one company holding firm on their plan. Then again,

289
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: we know pure Talk to be about American values, American people,

290
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: and excellent customer service. Pure Talk competes with AT and T, Verizon,

291
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: T Mobile, and others, and they have to work hard

292
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: to earn your business. I'm a Pure Talk customer and

293
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: I find it as good, if not better than those

294
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: big name companies out there. And when you think you're

295
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: getting cell phone service for thirty dollars a month, I

296
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: mean think about that thirty dollars month. That's kind to

297
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: be at least what fifty or sixty bucks less than

298
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: what you're paying. Puretalk cares about supporting veterans in our

299
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: military as well. So this is a company that shares

300
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: your values. When you become a pure Talk customer, you

301
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: have an option to support America's Warrior Partnership to prevent

302
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: veterans suicide, so important, such a critical cause. This is

303
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: an American company creating American jobs. Your customer service team

304
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: right here in the US. They make switching easy. Dial

305
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: pound two fifty right now, say Clay and Buck. That's

306
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: right from your phone. Remember you can keep your phone

307
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: in your number. You're just switching over the service like

308
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: I did. Dial pound two five zero. Say Clay and Buck,

309
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: say fifty percent off your first month. That's pound two

310
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: five zero, Say Clay and Buck. From the front lines

311
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: of truth. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, welcome back.

312
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: To Clay and Buck. We had the big breaking.

313
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: News before of Tucker Carlson no longer with Fox News.

314
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Here's Harris Faulkner announcing it this morning on her show

315

00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Play the clip.

317
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: We have some news from within our Fox family. Fox

318
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: News Media and Tucker Carlson have mutually agreed to part ways.

319
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: Tucker's last show was this past Friday, and starting tonight,

320
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: Fox News Tonight will air live at eight pm Eastern.

321
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 5: It will be an interim show with rotating Fox News

322
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: personalities until a new host is named. We want to

323
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: thank Tucker Carlson for his service to the network as

324
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 5: a host and prior to that, as a long term contributor.

325
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: Look, Tucker's the man, and he did a phenomenal show,

326
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: and Clay and I have already said a lot of

327
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: how we feel about him as a talent, as a person.

328
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: So that's a shock for us. We're sitting here and look,

329
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: he was a voice that we really wanted in the

330
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: game for twenty twenty four Folks. Let's understand, this is

331
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: about the conversation that pushes the future of the country. Right,

332
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: This is not small potatoes. On top of this, yes,

333
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: we have another breaking news story from the media world

334
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: that is going to have a very different tone here,

335
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: a very different vibe on.

336
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: The show, of different feeling from us.

337
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Don Lemon has just been fired. Tucker has been mutually part.

338
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: Of ways with Fox or part of ways with Fox.

339
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: Don Lemon put out a statement saying that he was

340
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: terminated by CNN after seventeen years.

341
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: So he has said.

342
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: It wasn't a you know, let's be friends, see you later.

343
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 3: It was I'm out and I'm shocked, Don Lemon.

344
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Clay is out.

345
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's read it. Don Lemon literally minutes ago, it's

346
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: a wild day. As Buck just said, we were talking

347
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: off air. You got news you want to put out,

348
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: Now's the time to do it. I was informed this

349
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: morning by my agent I've been terminated by CNN.

350
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm stunned.

351
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: After seventeen years at CNN, I would have thought someone

352
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.

353
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: At no time was I ever given any indication I

354
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: would not be able to continue to do the work

355
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: I've loved at the network. It's clear there are some

356
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: larger issues at play. With that said, I want to

357
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: thank my colleagues and the many teams I've worked with

358
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: for an incredible run. They're the most talented journalists in

359
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: the business, and I wish them all the best.

360
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: All right, whoa clay?

361
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: We got a lot here, lots of unpacked wild day already,

362
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: and we're only twenty eight minutes in, so load up

363
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: the phone lines.

364
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: We'll keep reacting to you. Who knows what's next? Tunnel.

365
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: The Towers Foundation delivers on its promise to do good

366
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: and never forget the sacrifice as America's heroes have made

367
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: for US. Heroes like US Air Force Senior Master Sergeant

368
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 2: Israel del Toro Junior. He promised his father he'd take

369
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: care of his family. He promised his son he'd be

370
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: there for his son too. When his humbee exploded in Afghanistan,

371
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: he suffered severe burns over more than eighty percent of

372
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: his body with only a fifteen percent chance of survival,

373
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: Del Toro focused on the promises he made. Later, he

374
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: became the first fully disabled airman permitted to re enlist,

375
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: a gold medal winner in the Invictus Games, and now

376
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: he shares his story to help others. You can help

377
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: heroes like Del Toro when they need it most. Join

381
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. So far

382
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: as I know it, we have not been fired. I

383
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: keep checking my phone to make sure. It is bloody

384
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: Monday in the media industry, everybody dropping like flies. Tucker

385
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: Carlson out at Fox mutual parting of the ways. According

386
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: to a release that just came down the pike right

387
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: before we went on the air. While we were on

388
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: the air, as we just told you, Don Lemon has

389
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: been fired at CNN. Buck, let's have a little bit

390
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: of fun with the Don Lemon thing for a moment.

391
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that CNN totally made the decision to

392
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: put out the news on Don Lemon when they saw

393
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: the news on Tucker Or conversely, do you think that

394
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: Fox might have seen the news about Don Lemon and decided, like,

395
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 2: do you think that Fox knew about Lemen? And do

396
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: you think that CNN knew about Tucker? Because Don Lemon

397
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 2: did his show this morning and they fired him right

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: after he was done.

399
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: On Monday, I think we'd have to check. We'd have

400
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: to check the tape, have to check the time, check

401
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: the type thing.

402
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: They're just trying to sneak in the you know because

403
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: the okay, look, the CNN audience, as you all know,

404
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: and the CNN anchors, by the way, are ecstatic over

405
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: the Tucker thing.

406
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: Just so you understand, they no matter what.

407
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: They take this as a validation, validation, dominion Fox Tucker.

408
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: They take this as all that.

409
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: So if you know, when they're all like celebrating that

410
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: to sneak in the Don Lemon firing. From a from

411
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 3: a pure Machiavelian media exec perspective, I think that's what.

412
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: I think that's what happened. At the timing is not

413
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: They're three hundred and sixty.

414
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: Five days in the year. They also let him do

415
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: the show on Monday.

416
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: If you were going to fire someone, this is just

417
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: kind of media one on one correct, you would not allow.

418
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Him to come in the first day of the week

419
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: do his show like there a Tucker's out. We gotta

420
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: get her to DoD rat And.

421
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: I would just say, that's what I'm saying. You got

422
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: to look at my phone, and we may fired halfway

423
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: through the show today. The way things are going, Look,

424
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: I think you stop saying that I think I've been

425
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: fired before. I'm used to it, and I think that's

426
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: the uh. I think that's the biggest takeaway right by

427
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: the way everybody gets fired in media. It's a little

428
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: bit like being a head coach. It's almost unheard of

429
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: that you get to, you know, be a head coach

430
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: for your entire career and you don't end up getting

431
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: fired at some point. But I think, and so when

432
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: I look at it, I think to myself, Okay, Tucker

433
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: has a wildly loyal audience.

434
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: We will take your calls.

435
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: But Buck, do you remember when Tucker took over for

436
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly, everybody said, there's no way that Tucker is

437
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: going to be able to slide into that O'Reilly chair

438
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: and in any way have success. We love Bill O'Reilly.

439
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: We've had Bill O'Reilly and Tucker on the show. I

440
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: think it's fair to say that Tucker became more influential

441
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: even than Bill O'Reilly was, and O'Reilly was, in his era,

442
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: the most influential person on cable news period. And I

443
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: think as a result, Tucker's audience is going to follow

444
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: him wherever he goes. If I'm Don Lemon's agent today, Like,

445
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: let's pretend we're agents, right, If I'm Tucker Carlson's agent,

446
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: I bet his phone.

447
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I bet he has gotten one hundred.

448
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: Media offers already in the forty five minutes that this

449
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: has been public. I don't know who hires Don lim MSNBC,

450
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: they'll hire I think they'll hire Don. I think Don

451
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: Lemon might be too toxic and also Buck Here's my thing,

452
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: is anybody a diehard Don Lemon fan?

453
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: Like, are people out there, like, Hey, you know who?

454
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: I love? Don Lemmon? I worked at CNN for a

455
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: couple of years.

456
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: Don Lemon had the highest rated CNN show in the

457
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: demo for a few years.

458
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: But then they demote if he were still rolling, I

459
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: hate what I'm saying.

460
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: Whenever, dude, it's the same thing, the stock market, same

461
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 3: thing a lot of If you've shown the ability to

462
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: hit home runs in one season.

463
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: There's a chance that something you thinks about it, like, yeah,

464
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: Don Lemon will get another job.

465
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying basely.

466
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 2: Chris Cuomo, and uh, let's use Chris Cuomo as an example.

467
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: Nobody has really followed Chris Cuomo in massive numbers.

468
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: Somebody else get fired. No, but I just.

469
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I was just confirmed to me by a

470
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: source that Tucker's team thought they were doing a show

471
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: tonight as of this morning. Yeah, so I mean that

472
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: does this with this decision was made one hundred percent

473
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 3: over the weekend and no one had any idea. By

474
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: the way, it's it is a cruel thing in media.

475
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I've seen this before. I mean I

476
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: saw a show that got acts once at a network

477
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: because I saw the people outside with the boxes crying

478
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 3: and they had no idea.

479
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: Like media firings are brutal. Yeah, and we focus.

480
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: Look, Tucker's super rich, He's going to be wildly successful

481
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: going forward.

482
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: I told her.

483
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Friday, I was in the Fox News

484
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: building with the staff. Everything was fine. So yes, it

485
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: doesn't stun me at all that they anticipated they would

486
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: be doing a show today because I don't think this

487
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: is something that was in the works for a long time.

488
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm betting Buck that the details behind what exactly went

489
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: on will happen. But they're a lot of people right

490
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: now who have to put on a show in like

491
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: six hours or seven hours.

492
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm just sharing what's in the

493
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: ether right now, and my phone is blowing up today

494
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 3: like crazy.

495
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: So it is Clays.

496
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: We had to just go get a new charger to

497
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: make sure that we were able to die.

498
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: And this is out there.

499
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: I'm not this could be completely off the wall, but

500
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: a lot of people, a lot of people are putting

501
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 3: out there. You know what they're putting out that they

502
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 3: think that Tucker may have political aspirations.

503
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: Well, that would be amazing if he were going to

504
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: run for president. I'm just saying. People are saying this

505
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: right now.

506
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: No, I mean, look, he has been I like to

507
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: look at the gambling odds. Tucker has been on the

508
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: list of potential nominees. Now here's what I would say

509
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: about that in general. If that were true, then here's

510
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: how I think that would play out. I think he

511
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: would go to Fox News and he would say, hey,

512
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: Trump is going to be the nominee in my opinion

513
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 2: to say, just hasn't shown that he has the ability

514
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: to take on Trump. I think I'm a better candidate

515
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: than both of those guys, and so I'm going to

516
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: run for president. If that were true, I think Fox

517
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: would allow Tucker to have a grand goodbye. That would

518
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: allow him to go out and actually be able to

519
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: make that statement. Does that make sense? So I'm not

520
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: saying Tucker's not running for president. I would just tell

521
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: you that I don't think the way that that news

522
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: would become circulating would be on a Monday Morning Fox

523
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: saying Tucker and Fox News have parted. Now it's possible,

524
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: I'll just again, I'm just spitballing if that were the case.

525
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: It's possible that Tucker had been doing things behind the

526
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: scenes and it was suddenly uncovered. But just think about it.

527
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: If you're Fox News, why would you It would be

528
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: great for Fox News if Tucker ran for president. That

529
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: would be incredible for their brand.

530
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: Well, that's like he graduated from Fox you know, from.

531
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: This become the president of the United States. There's a

532
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: happy there's a house narrative. Let's just put it this way.

533
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: If you or I announced that we were running for

534
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: president of the United States, iHeart would not put out

535
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: a statement twenty minutes before we were about to go

536
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: on air saying that we had mutually parted ways.

537
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 6: Right.

538
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: They would allow us to come on and say bye

539
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: to the audience.

540
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: Right.

541
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: So I again, maybe that's possible the way that this

542
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: is playing out, and I would love to see. Look

543
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: if Tucker throws his hat in the ring for us,

544
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: I mean that he'd be an incredible candid.

545
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: So here's the thing about, let's say what. By the way,

546
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: we'll I know, every line is lit in. The phones

547
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: in New York are going crazy right now, and our

548
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 3: team is going through them and we will get to

549
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: your calls. But the you know, the theories are okay,

550
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: I throw out the politics thing that may be off

551
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: the wall. I mean, Tucker and his people maybe like

552
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: laughing at the thought that that is being talked about,

553
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: but people are talking about Yeah.

554
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: I think it's just worth noting.

555
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 3: He is that level of popular with the right where

556
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: it's not maybe, by the way, maybe not this election.

557
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: Maybe he wants to let the Santas Trump thing play out,

558
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: but maybe he wants to think more toward the future

559
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 3: in twenty Twentyok.

560
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: You know, twenty percent of the audience if Tucker suddenly

561
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: of the Republican primary, I'm just I'm just spitballing numbers.

562
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: Twenty percent of people out there, I think would say,

563
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: you know what, I would vote for Tucker over Trump

564
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 2: or DeSantis or Vivic or.

565
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Nicky l was the GOP nominee not that long ago, folks.

566
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: So the idea that Tucker Carlson, who's actually popular with

567
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: the bass, could be the nominee at some point is

568
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: obviously not you know.

569
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: And it's also, by the way, why we are saying

570
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: that he has such an incredible media future, because he's

571
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: an incredible commentator.

572
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: But the so there's the issues also of the legality

573
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 3: now that I think is being used to try to

574
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: silence conservative voices in so many different places, and that

575
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: the scope and scale of the lawsuit that Dominian brought

576
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 3: against Fox.

577
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: That's a part of this. But look if it if

578
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: it comes out, uh, if it comes out.

579
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: That you know, somehow Tucker got pushed out because some

580
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: people didn't like what he's saying. There's gonna be audience

581
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: blowback on No, there's going to be audience, and they

582
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: know everyone knows that there's audience.

583
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think you can keep this story quiet.

584
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what exactly happens here because it's it's

585
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 3: still sort of in this shock phase. I do know that, Uh,

586
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: I think CNN actually has made a good move.

587
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: I think I just I wonder, I wonder who's next.

588
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: These things usually happen in threes. Right, We've already got

589
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: we already got Tucker, now we got Don Lemon.

590
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 1: The Don Lemon thing. I gotta be honest with you.

591
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: It is really funny to me to think about the

592
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: CNN executives like the minute the Tucker news hits and

593
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: they're like, because otherwise, to your point, this is like

594
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl for CNN.

595
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: They would be gushing over like Tucker.

596
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: Everyone else was popping champagne corks at CNN because they're

597
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: psycho commis. And the execs were like, I mean, you know,

598
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: the top execs were like, war them.

599
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Now, we got gotta get him out. We gotta fire

600
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Don Lemon. And remember they didn't even tell Don Lemon.

601
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: They told his.

602
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 3: Agent, I know, which is hard, which is way harsh,

603
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: way harsh.

604
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: Said I I just it is funny to me to

605
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: think of the execu you want to talk about how

606
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: shark infested the media universe is for them to see

607
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: at CNN tuckers out and immediately think, now is the

608
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: perfect time for us to fire Don Lemon is really fun.

609
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: Let's we're gonna do calls.

Speaker 3: here and be with all of you and try to

640

Speaker 3: everyone's enthusiasm for the rebuild and all the things going here.

00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: So that's why we're down here. Thank you all for

643
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: first of all inviting us down and we.

644
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: Got this big news that was the shock at the

645
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: top of the show that just broke, which was Tucker

646
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: Carlson out at Fox News, much smaller and much more

647
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: immute for US News Don Lemon out at CNN. Every

648
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: line is lit from all of you across the country.

649
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: And then again also, I mean, Clay, I can't even

650
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: I open my email box or my text messages whatever.

651
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: It's just freaking out about this. But let's hear what

652
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 3: you think all across the country. Team Judy in Wisconsin.

653
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: First up here, Judy, what's on your mind.

654
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 7: Hi, I just want to say that this is so frustrating.

655
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 7: It's never ending. We can't keep anybody that gives us

656
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 7: the proper news that you feel like you can trust.

657
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 7: My whole family listens to Fox, and especially Tucker a

658
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 7: lot of the people I associate with. For the owners

659
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 7: of Fox to decide to just get rid of him

660
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 7: and shut down another voice for the people that are

661
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 7: moderate or conservative is just ridiculous. I know myself. The

662
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 7: other news stations that have continually been taken off because

663
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 7: there's people like AOC decide that, you know, they should

664
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 7: be saying something like Tucker should be taken off the air.

665
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 7: I'm sure it really didn't have anything to do with it,

666
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 7: but it's the whole thing, is this. It's a never

667
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 7: ending struggle to keep someone around that you feel like

668
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 7: you can trust and trust their opinions. So, for me,

669
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 7: I'm done with Fox, and I've been a Fox fan forever,

670
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 7: so I watch Newsmax also, I will continue now to

671
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 7: watch just Newsmax. Fox puts out all these shows like

672
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 7: One Nation, which are very good, and you know you

673
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 7: pay for your subscription. Okay, well I'm done with that too,

674
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 7: and so is probably everybody else that I'm hanging around with.

675
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: Judy, Thanks, thanks so much for calling in. Appreciate you

676
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: sharing your perspective.

677
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: What I would just say is Tucker will explain his

678
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: decision making I think at some point and so how

679
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: exactly this all went down, we don't know, JB.

680
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: So I would say, just be just be aware.

681
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: You trust talent, right, I think that is the paramount

682
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: thing that is going on in media today.

683
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 4: Right.

684
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: You may not agree with everything that Bako or I

685
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: say on a data to day basis, but no one

686
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: is in our ear saying you guys have to say this,

687
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: and Buck, this is why we took this show and

688
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: why we were happy to have Julie Talbot as our boss.

689
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: Buck.

690
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: She had my back when she didn't need to, right

691
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: after I started in sports, and so I wouldn't have

692
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: taken this job if I didn't know who.

693
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Our boss was and that she had our back.

694
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: So you again, I would just encourage all of you

695
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: out there, you know, trust talent, let them you know

696
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: the ultimately overtime you can I'm the worst actor on

697
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: the planet. I don't think Buck's that good of an

698
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: actor either radio and live television and live media in general.

699
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: Over time, you reveal yourself one way or the other.

700
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: I don't think Clay saw my euripides back in high school, mister,

701
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: or I.

702
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: Will just I will say this.

703
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: We did skits for the Fox Bet Live gambling show

704
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: that I used to do on Fox Sports for four years.

705
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: I am the worst actor who has ever lived. If

706
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: I have to memorize lines and I have to deliver.

707
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 3: This, I just don't think Clay needs to be shots

708
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: in mind Hamlet that I.

709
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: Would be if you're a phenomenal If you're a phenomenal actor,

710
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: I know I'm not.

711
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: I can't do it. GB in Austin, JB. What do

Speaker 6: Yeah?

719
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 4: I love to show Uh yeah, of course the news, Attucker.

720
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 4: You know it was kind of crazy this morning, but uh,

721
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 4: we all, all of us, we have to quit hiding

722
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: behind Trump. And what I mean by that is so

723
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: that doesn't hate Trump. They hate America. They hate conservative

724
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 4: Christian America and our founding and and it's in the media.

725
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 4: I know, it's kind of probably an easy place.

726
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: To to be to.

727
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 4: Let Trump take all the the budgeon, and uh, we

728
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: we have to change it. In narrative, AM radio's next man.

729
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: You know that you know what's going on with that too,

730
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 4: and we really have to fight as a group of Republican,

731
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 4: independent and conservatives to make sure this doesn't happen.

732
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: JB totally agree with you. And by the way, they

733
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: are coming for other people. And I do think there's

734
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: some politics behind the push right now to limit AM

735
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: radio in new cars. AM radio. We're down here in

736
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 3: Fort Myers right now. You know what people could rely

737
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: on when they really need to know what was going

738
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 3: on with the power went out and everything else. AM

739
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: radio In a disaster or emergency situation. What is your

740
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: last most reliable line of communication, the one that is

741
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 3: there for you, AM radio. It needs to be in cars.

742
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: We need to keep it going. And that's not even

743
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: getting into the politics of it. We'll take one more here,

744
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 3: we'll get into more of the next hour. Dan in Erie, Pennsylvania. Dan,

745
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: what do you got for us?

746
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm done with Fox News. I canceled my cables subscription,

747
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 6: done going to newsbacks. I was torked when they got

748
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 6: rid of Bill O'Reilly. This ports me off and I

749
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 6: am tired of willy nilly congressman that do not use

750
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 6: the power of the purse. And I called my local congressman,

751
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 6: Mike Kelly and totalm you better have AM radios in

752
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 6: our cars.

753
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, look said Dan, thank you for that.

754
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: By the way, people taking action like Dan who love

755
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: AM radio helps keep AM radio there. It's not enough

756
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: to rely on your neighbor. You listen, you listen on AM.

757
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: Please write your congressman say hey, we need AM radio

758
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: in these cars and we can actually keep it going.

759
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

760
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: And look, what I would say in general is this

761
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 2: brings home what we've been saying for a long time.

762
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 2: It's not enough to rely just on advertisers in any business.

763
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: You have to build your own business.

764
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: And we've been talking about bud Light in the disrespect

765
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 2: that they showed for their consumer. How many people out

766
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: there are actually trying to build alternatives. Get angry, but

767
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities.

768
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: We'll talk more playing Buck
