1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back in for the Friday edition Clay Travis Buck 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: us all over the country. 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 2: I am sun tanned, chastened. 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: I had a debacle of a day on the golf course, 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: as is often the case, but thanks to Pa, to 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: the guys who played with me, who were fabulous across 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: the board, and we had a what I would say 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: it was a pretty good time across the board. We'll 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: get into that a little bit as we moved throughout 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the program, but live going on at Durrow. I played 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: yesterday Buck with Paul Casey and at the turn Charles 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: Howell the third, so I got nine holes with each guys. 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Turns out they're both pretty good at golf. Case you wondered. 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: President Trump flew in at the near the end of 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: our round, and I don't know if he's staying in 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: Durrow the Miami area to watch the tournament. I heard 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: he was going to be there a decent amount on 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: his golf course, but I saw him walking in yesterday 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: and the drama of the day though, and I thought 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: about this because I looked down at my phone a 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: little bit as we were as we were traveling, and 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: then also as I was on the golf course, I 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: tried to have to check my phone that much, and 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I was like, oh Man, stock Market. Bucks just dodging bullets, 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: solo in the show, talking tariffs, taking calls, emails. Everybody's 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: looking at their four oh one ks, and so I 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: figured we probably should start off talking about this. Also, 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: we'll take some of your calls. We've got a loaded show. 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: By the way, Senator Tommy Tuberville going to be with us, 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: Dave Rutherford, who was a part of the Clay and 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: Buck podcast network, Dave McCormick and his wife Dina Powell. 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: They have a great new book out, and Auburn men's 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: basketball coach Bruce Pearl scheduled to call in. He's a 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: fan of the program and he has got the Auburn 36 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Tigers playing in the NCAA tournament, which I also heard 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: there was some controversy surrounding bucks pronunciation of tournament yesterday, 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: Auburn playing against Florida on one side, Houston against Duke 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: on Saturday. 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: I just need to clarify something, Clay, because after some 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: of your video from the golf course made its way online, 42 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: there's talk that you can hit three hundred and thirty 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: yards from the blues and that now people are calling 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: you Shooter mctravis. 45 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: That would be a great I'd be a great fantasy 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: football team name Shooter mctravis. I don't know that anyone 47 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: has ever put four worst shots together to begin around 48 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: than I did on yesterday with a PGA and live 49 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: pro historically Paul Casey, super successful guy. It's bad to 50 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: hit a bad golf shot when you're playing with your buddies. 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: It's really bad to hit a bad golf shot when 52 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: you're playing with pros. So anyway, four worst shots that 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: have ever existed in the history of golf. I'm sure 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: some of you out there listening are raising your hands, 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: say Clay, you should have seen me. 56 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: But I'm telling you these. 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Were the four worst shots that have ever been strung 58 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: together in the history of golf. Okay, what's going on? 59 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: Stock market? I know I tell you not to look, 60 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: but I'm just going to tell you what the latest is. 61 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: Stock market RTE down right now, not going well. The 62 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred down around four percent so 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: far today, and the Dow is down right at three 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: and a half percent. That is not well. Okay, so 65 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: general rule before before we begin, I practice this to 66 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the best of my ability. I think if you have 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: a four to oh one k, if you have stocks, 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: almost the worst thing you can do, especially if you 69 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: have index funds, is sit around and look at them 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: all the time and obsess about them. Because what the 71 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: data reflects is your emotion gets the better of you. 72 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: My emotion gets the better of me. And people, overwhelmingly 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: when they try to time the market sell at the 74 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: time when stocks are near their lowest prices, because you're 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: looking around, you're saying, oh, my goodness, I should have 76 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: sold three months ago, and if I had, I would 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: have X amount of money, and now that money's gone. 78 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: This is the way people think, and so you sell 79 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: at the absolute worse moment, and then you tend to 80 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: buy at the absolute worst moment too, because when stock 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: prices are going up, you look at prices and you say, man, 82 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: I should have bought six months ago. Why didn't I 83 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: do it? 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: A lot? 85 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: Better do it now because they're going to keep going up. 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: And so people who are timing the market very often 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: are buying at peaks and selling at valleys. Okay, so 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: let's start there. Now what is going on. But the 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: way that I would sort of classify this I was 90 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: reading this morning breaking this down, Trump is for better 91 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: or worse. Trump is trying to correct decades of futility, 92 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: whether it's with immigration, border policy, whether it's with waste 93 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: and fraud in the federal government and are expansive and 94 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: out of control budget processes in general, or trade agreements 95 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: which have been fundamentally unbalanced against the United States for 96 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: a long time. He knows he doesn't have very much 97 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: time because he's only got I know, there's been a 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: lot of talk about, oh, he's going to get a 99 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: third he's not. He's got four years, and he knows 100 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: that he has to act super fast in order for 101 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: things to start moving in a positive direction. And sometimes 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: in order to fix things, you have to disrupt, you 103 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: have to destroy, you have to tear down the existing systems. 104 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: And we have gotten so used. This is the truth. 105 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: Every politician tells you they're going to fix things, and 106 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: then they get to Washington, they recognize how much of 107 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: a swamp it is, how much of a mess it is, 108 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: and they basically say, I'm just going to pass the 109 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: buck along. This is why the thirty six trillion dollar 110 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: debt exists in the first place because most politicians presume 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: that when the penalty is there to be paid, their 112 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: career are going to be over and somebody else is 113 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: going to have to deal with the mess that they created. 114 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: Trump is unique in that he sees these messes and 115 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: he is trying to fix them. 116 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 2: Now. 117 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, uh, I wasn't able to listen, so 118 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you kind of dove into it. 119 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: Buck. 120 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: My biggest sop top line, we should have fairer trade 121 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: agreements with many countries around the world. Most people would 122 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: agree with that. The challenge right now is Trump is 123 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: taking such drastic, radical action that many companies out there 124 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: that made choices believing that politicians would never really do anything. 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: For instance, Nike decides, hey, we're going to make all 126 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: of our shoes now in Vietnam. They spend all this 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: money in Vietnam. They never think that the tariffs are 128 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: going to come because they never think any politicians actually 129 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: going to hold them accountable. Apple makes most of their 130 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: phones over in China. Now in India as well, it's 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: much cheaper, and so as a result, they never thought 132 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: what would have happen here is happening, and so there's 133 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: a bit of a panic over the drastic changes that 134 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: are occurring and what that's going to do to small, medium, 135 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: large businesses. 136 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: That's kind of my biggest takeaway. 137 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: Well, we're also seeing is a week seam, if you will, 138 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: in our system, in that when you try to fix 139 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: any kind of problem and there's pain associated with it, 140 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: even if it's short term pain, there's no benefit politically 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: for that. So you have to be willing to give 142 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: the people their medicine first before things get better. And 143 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: I've brought this up before, but there was in order 144 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: to tame crazy inflation coming out of the Jimmy Carter years, 145 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: Reagan's policies led into a recession that lasted a couple 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: of years, right, maybe it was eighteen months something like that, 147 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: But then you had an absolute boom in America afterwards, 148 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: and a lot of the people in the so called experts, 149 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: we're saying that what Reagan was doing was not the 150 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: right thing at the time, or people were criticizing him then, 151 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: or they maybe criticize him now. If you're going to 152 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: fix the problem, especially when it comes to spending, there's 153 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: going to be a change in the way that the 154 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: money is flowing, and that means there going to be 155 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: some people who are unhappy. And it's interesting to see 156 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: who's particularly unhappy now, Clay, I don't sense that you 157 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: get a lot of upset people on Main Street. I 158 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: think you have a lot of people on Wall Street 159 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: who have gotten really addicted to just this endless flow 160 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: of money printing. And as long as when you're doing 161 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: in large numbers, right, So if you're running a multi 162 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: billion dollar hedge fund, or if you're at a massive 163 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: financial institution and investment bank and the government is printing 164 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: money and putting it out into the system, and you're 165 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 3: involved in the transactions and the monetizing effectively, the monetizing 166 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: of money, you're good. You just want the flood to continue, right, 167 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: But if you're somebody who is making fifty thousand dollars 168 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: a year, well, every year that you're losing three, four 169 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 3: five percent of purchasing power, and every year that you 170 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: have a doubling of household goods like eggs or gas 171 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: or whatever it is that hurts. And so to deal 172 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: with that in the system, you're going to have to 173 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: you know, it's like squeezing the balloon somewhere, there's going 174 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: to be a cause and effect here, every action has 175 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: an equal and opposite reaction. And I think Trump deserves 176 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: credit right now for being willing to do something that 177 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: is a risk. I think there's no question about that. 178 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 3: But also I think he's earned the right to take 179 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: this kind of a risk based upon his stewardship of 180 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: the economy the last time he was president. 181 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: So again, I think you look at the border. It's solved, 182 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: and I know nobody talks about it in terms of 183 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: being able to have illegals come in. We still have 184 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: to get a lot of violent predator right. 185 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: Legal immigration isn't solved, but border security is where we 186 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: need it to be. 187 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: We told that, we were told that was impossible fix 188 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: without congressional action. Trump comes in and effectively illegal crossings 189 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: that our southern border have ended. We got Elon Musk 190 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: going to work trying to fix the larger economic deficit 191 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: that we have built in our federal budget. And frankly, 192 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: a lot of what he's finding, I think is blowing 193 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: his mind in many other people's minds, and this is 194 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: a lot to bite off. Trump also has decided, hey, 195 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: by the way, we need to fix global trade imbalance. 196 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, buck. This is not something that 197 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: Trump actually benefits from. This is why it's so rare. 198 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Almost every politician doesn't take on big challenges when the 199 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: payoff occurs long after they are gone. The onshoring of 200 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: jobs to replace the offshoring is something that takes years 201 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: of investment. It's something this is what we talked about, 202 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: that requires multiple terms of a probably Republican administration, because 203 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody who's Democrat insane on these 204 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: issues right now and in the short term. It's going 205 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: to create pain. Now, if tariffs are so incredibly awful, 206 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: as every left wing economist economist wants to argue, now, 207 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: why do they exist? This is a really difficult question 208 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: I think for them to answer. 209 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 3: Well, people should also remember before the before the constitutional 210 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 3: amendment that made it possible for the income tax. Right, 211 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: it's not a constitutional amendment. I'm trying to remember this 212 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: twenty seven that's room. I think that's right before the 213 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: twentieth century, when the income tax came into effect. That 214 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: I can say with confidence the country was funded with tariffs. 215 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: So it's interesting, and I know that we're a lot 216 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: wealthier in twenty twenty four than we were in you know, 217 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 3: eighteen twenty four as a country or twenty twenty five, 218 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: Sorry forgot what year it is. But we were growing 219 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: rapidly and industrializing rapidly when tariffs were in fact the 220 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: way the country was funded. Now that's not to say 221 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: that you want to try to fund America with tariffs, 222 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: although Trump does talk about that a little bit, but 223 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: it does go to this, clearly, isn't the annihilation of 224 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: Has it annihilated the Chinese economy? China has tariffs that 225 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: are super aggressive, China Clay has tariffs, has currency manipulation, 226 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: has ip theft has I mean you add all the 227 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 3: things that they're doing. Has their economy been destroyed China 228 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty versus today. Have they gotten richer or poorer 229 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: with all these things that they have in mind? 230 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: No, They've definitely been playing the game. I think the 231 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: best example China taking advantage of US buck is they 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: took total advantage of labor laws in the trade agreements 233 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: by just moving a lot of their production to Mexico 234 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: and so they can bring it into the country far cheaper. 235 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: And that's one reason. You know, the technology has become 236 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: such that people can just hopscotch around the world. I 237 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: think Nike used to be in the Philippines. Philippines got 238 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: to a expensive so they moved to Vietnam. They have 239 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: just continued to move to the country where their their 240 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: product cost is the lowest. And and and again the 241 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: result has been and I know many of you out 242 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: there listening know and feel this, that the average manufacturing 243 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: worker in America is making a Those jobs just don't 244 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: exist anymore. And Trump is actually trying to fix much 245 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: of that in the Rust Bell. 246 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, he's not banning imports. And it is 247 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: important to keep in mind that we're not hoping that 248 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 3: we're going to start making all, you know, T shirts 249 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: and sneakers necessarily in America. There are some things that 250 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 3: would be very difficult for us to make profitably, just 251 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: based upon cost of labor here and expectations for what 252 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: quality of life would be for a worker here versus 253 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: in other places. I mean that there are there's a 254 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 3: lot of push pull, But again Trump has been very 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 3: consistent on this. Clay something else we should remind everybody of. 256 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 3: It wasn't that long ago when Pelosi and Chuck Schumer 257 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: and others. We're talking about the huge problem of our 258 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: trade deficit. So what happened to that? Where where did 259 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 3: all that go? And so we'll dive into some more 260 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: of this. But I know right now this is I 261 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 3: think the Democrats are gearing up to make this their 262 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: their issue. They're hoping they're rooting against the country. Let's 263 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: just say that out loud. They're rooting against the American 264 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: economy right now because they think this is their pathway 265 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: to retaking the House and maybe the Senate, although I 266 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: think that's a stretch unless things get really ugly and 267 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: stopping the Trump agenda. So we have to be aware 268 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: of the politics and the background of this too, and 269 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: we will. We will take your calls on this, and 270 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: let's take some pro and and economy. Let's take some 271 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: if you really if you love Trump but you're really 272 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: worried about the tariffs, I want to hear from you. 273 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 3: And if you either love Trump or if you're iffy 274 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: on Trump, or whatever you think on Trump, but you 275 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: think the tariffs are absolutely the way to go, we 276 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 3: want to hear that too. So strong opinions either direction, 277 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: let's get them going. Eight hundred two two two eights two. 278 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: The preborn network of clinics has a team of people 279 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 3: who live by a mission to save the lives of 280 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: unborn babies. They see the access and widespread availability of 281 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: abortion for pregnant women, and they step in on the 282 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 3: front lines to save lives by offering love, care and 283 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: support to moms in need. This is how Preborn does 284 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: their mission, day in and day out, and so often. 285 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 3: The first step in this that's the game changer, is 286 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: when Preborn welcomes that mother in with open arms and 287 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: gives her a free ultrasound. Because when mom to be 288 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: meets her unborn child in the womb and hears the 289 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: heartbeat and sees the tiny movements of her child within, 290 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: guess what she realizes how important this bond is. Each 291 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: ultrasound costs twenty eight dollars. You and I can make 292 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: a donation to cover those knowing that it well may 293 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 3: save a life. Most often it does. Preborn operates clinics 294 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: and communities across our nation where abortion rates are the highest. 295 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 3: They do this on purpose to save as many babies 296 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: as possible. In twenty years, they've saved over three hundred 297 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: thousand and babies to donate securely, just dial pound two 298 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five 299 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: zero say baby, or visit Preborn dot com, slash Buck 300 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 3: Preborn dot com slash b u c K sponsored by Preborn. 301 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 4: Making America great Again isn't just one man, It's many. 302 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: The Team forty seven podcasts Sunday's at noon Eastern in 303 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 4: the Clay and Buck podcast feed.

Actually, 313 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: we're huge proponents of tariffs. Not too long ago, we 314 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: played Nancy Pelosi for were you Here's Bernie Sanders in 315 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight saying free trade without tariffs will 316 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: destroy American manufacturing cut for. 317 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 5: What they have said is that we need to not 318 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 5: worry about manufacturing in America because what we should establish 319 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 5: is a policy of unfitted free trade. 320 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 2: We don't need tariffs. 321 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 6: What we need is to allow corporate America the freedom, 322 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 6: the freedom to throw American work is out on the street. 323 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 6: People are making fifteen, twenty twenty five bucks an hour, 324 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 6: healthcare pensions. Throw them out on the street because somehow 325 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 6: mount of president, we are going to create wealth in 326 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 6: America and good paying jobs in America as we shut 327 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 6: down plans we move to China corporations there they workers 328 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 6: twenty thirty cents an hour, and we bring the product 329 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 6: back into this country. 330 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: It is kind of interesting here, Buck. 331 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: This is when, if you remember the twenty sixteen election, 332 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: there was and there probably are some of you out there, 333 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: that were deciding between voting for Bernie Sanders or Donald 334 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: Trump because many people just wanted a disruptive force in 335 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: the wake of the Barack Obama era, and there were 336 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people New Hampshire in particular. I remember 337 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: this voter, Buck, where people went to vote and they 338 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: were deciding. I'm crazy to some of you, but hey, 339 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: do I want to support Bernie Sanders or do I 340 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: want to support Donald Trump? That voter was real. Oh absolutely, 341 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: and there was This was an interesting remnant memory of 342 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: that twenty sixteen election cycle when there were Bernie people, 343 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: and because I was at CNN at the time, there 344 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: were Bernie supporters who would have to mutter out of 345 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the side of their mouth, well, I kind of agree 346 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: with Trump on some of this trade stuff too, because 347 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: they also took this pro if you will, pro worker position. 348 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: And I think that there's my view on this, just 349 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: to be clear, and we're getting a lot of your 350 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: calls in and we want to take different opinions on 351 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: this and hear from you. 352 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: My view on this is as follows. One the people, 353 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 3: or rather there are a number of things. One the 354 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 3: people who are saying this is absolutely terrible. Go back 355 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 3: and look at them on the most important policy issues 356 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: on economics and otherwise in the last decade or two. 357 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: They're wrong on everything. Okay, everything to tell you is 358 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: true is not true, or everything to tell you will 359 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 3: happen does not seem to happen when there's an important 360 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 3: decision to be made. We all know that the US 361 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 3: is wealthy, we all know that our economy is very dynamic. 362 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 3: But when it comes time for a choice. I don't 363 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 3: think that a lot of the voices that are trying 364 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 3: to tear Trump down have a good record at all. 365 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: That's one part of it, right. Another part of it 366 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: is you look at the effects of the tariffs around, 367 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: of tariffs around the world, and who's been doing them 368 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 3: and why they have them. If it was so evidently 369 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 3: a cel self evidently destructive, I'm sorry, but Canada, the 370 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 3: EU wouldn't have tariffs on our products if it was 371 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: such a dumb move. And if making people so rich 372 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: was what was what not having tariffs does, you'd wonder, Well, 373 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: I guess the EU just doesn't doesn't want to be 374 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 3: making money in these different sectors. So there's and and 375 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: so I think that's another part of it that there's 376 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 3: no real answer to. And then the other thing is 377 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: if you want change, you have to be willing to 378 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: change things. And I know that's a tautology, but you 379 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: have to actually do something different from what you've been experiencing. 380 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: The status quo is going to give you more status quo. 381 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: Trump came in and he said he was going to 382 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: change the border, and he did. And as we've talked 383 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 3: about clay huge success, he said he was going to 384 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 3: look at government waste for an abuse. Does is doing that. 385 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 3: Hopefully they'll get a recision package from Congress. If they do, 386 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 3: I think that'll be a considerable success. This is a 387 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 3: big This is a big move, This is a big call. 388 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 3: And Trump is rolling the dice on this one. I 389 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 3: think he's earned the right to play the hand as 390 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 3: he sees fit. I really and I think that's in 391 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 3: the best interests of the country right now. And you 392 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 3: know what, Clay, if he's wrong, Okay, then we'll double back. 393 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 3: We'll bring these things down. It's not We're not nuking 394 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: Moscow over this. You know what I'm saying. This is 395 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: not like a million people are incinerated overnight and you 396 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 3: can't say whoopsie after that. I mean, this is about 397 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: an ongoing negotiation two things. 398 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: And then I want to play Barack Obama talking about 399 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: the necessity of reciprocal trade agreements with China when it 400 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: comes to tariffs. But gas prices are going to be 401 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: based on the price of oil. Gas prices are going 402 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: to be the lowest that they've been since the COVID 403 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: basic shutdown, So a lot of you are going to 404 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: be seeing gas prices lower than they have been again 405 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: in five years. Basically, second part of this, these tariffs 406 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: are not supposed to impact the price of goods on 407 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: a day to day basis in a substantial way in 408 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: grocery stores, meaning whatever you're buying to eat is not 409 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: likely to be impacted in a price. Those are the 410 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: two places that I think most Americans notice cost and 411 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: so I think that if that happens. Plus, Trump has 412 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: sent out a message saying a truth social message saying 413 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: that interest rates need to be cut again. If if 414 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: there is a fear that we are sliding towards recession, 415 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: Jerome Powell should be cutting interest rates. A cut in 416 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: interest rates, let me just point out, would free up 417 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: a lot of the housing market. I just the number 418 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: of people out there, buck who have two and a 419 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: half or three percent interest rates, don't want to leave 420 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: their home, and yet don't want to be paying seven 421 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: percent for their mortgage rate to go somewhere else has 422 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: completely discombobulated the entire housing park market. The run up 423 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden caused in interest rates going from two 424 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: and a half to seven percent as rapidly as it 425 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: did for mortgages for instance, has to rectify itself in 426 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: order for the economic house to get in order. Those 427 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: are three things that I see moving in a positive direction, 428 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: even though the stock market in the short term as 429 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: it is clearly I start off the show telling you 430 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: exactly what's happening is down here is Barack Obama demanding 431 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: reciprocity and trade agreements with China. This has cut six 432 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: Barack Obama twenty eighteen. 433 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 7: When it comes to the international system of commerce and trade. 434 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 7: It's legitimate for poorer countries to continue to seek access 435 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 7: to wealthier markets. And by the way, wealthier markets, that's 436 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 7: not the big problem that you're having. A small African 437 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 7: country is sending you tea and flowers. That's not your 438 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 7: biggest economic challenge. 439 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 8: It's also proper for advanced. 440 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 9: Economies like the United States to insist on reciprocity from 441 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 9: nations like China that are no longer solely poor countries 442 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 9: to make sure that they're providing access to their markets. 443 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: So again, China has eaten our lunch phrase that Trump 444 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: has used quite a lot. China is saying they're going 445 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: to reciprocate with tariff increases on United States goods. But 446 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: I think the economic can the United States has much 447 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: stronger right now than the economic hand that China has, 448 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: and I would suspect this is a prediction. I would 449 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: suspect that the phone lines are buzzing at the White 450 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: House and that there are a lot of countries that 451 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: want to unilaterally end their tariffs with the United States. 452 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: Some already have some. Israel, for example, which is not 453 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: a huge trading partner, but it's an important ally and 454 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 3: a trading partner. They've come out and said Prime Minister 455 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: nat Yao said, look, we're just I like where Trump's 456 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 3: head is out on this. Let's get rid of it, 457 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 3: and we're going to deepen our relationship even more with 458 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,479 Speaker 3: America on trade. So there's also been a willingness, I think, 459 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 3: to renegotiate some of the Canadian tariffs already. This is 460 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: already happening. And the other part of this is it's 461 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 3: a dynamic. This is what I meant play by. This 462 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 3: can be fixed right. This is not a you know, 463 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: this is not like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, where 464 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 3: once you start it you know it's going right. There's 465 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: the day to day of how is this looking in 466 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: the market, what does that other government do to respond? 467 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 3: And Here's the thing. Whenever they are upset about this, 468 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: any country that has a tariff against the United States 469 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: on what grounds can they be upset about the United 470 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 3: States putting a tariff on their items? That's the entire 471 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: crux of this, right, I mean, these really were in 472 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: the right. I mean Trump, I think, in general, would 473 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 3: prefer just an even playing field for American goods compared 474 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 3: to other goods, and so instead of us getting lots 475 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: of other countries, including China, to your point, I mean, yes, 476 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 3: look at the average income in China since nineteen eighty. 477 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: The most of that money, to a large extent, that 478 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: money is coming off of Chinese goods being able to 479 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 3: be bought by Americans in the trade imbalance that that 480 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 3: has created. And then there's we didn't even get into 481 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 3: this yet. We talked to I talked about a bit yesterday, Clay, 482 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 3: when you were making Happy Gilmore like a guy who 483 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 3: can't even can't hit you know what I mean, week 484 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: swing Happy Gilmore compared to Clay. But we talked about 485 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 3: Steven Miller and how I played some of his explanations 486 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 3: of this. There's also a national security component of this. 487 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: How can anyone tell me it's not just that we 488 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: get a lot of our I mean when I say 489 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: a lot, I think it's like eighty or ninety percent 490 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: of different kinds of antibiotics and other whether it's precursors 491 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 3: for computer chips or just a huge range. I mean, 492 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 3: I can't even begin to run off the list of 493 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: what we rely on China for. Imagine if during the 494 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 3: Cold War we said to people, you know what, we 495 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: need to rely on the Soviets for antibiotics. We need 496 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 3: to rely on the Soviets for you know, simple manufactured 497 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: goods that are going to be necessary for us in 498 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: a long conflict. People haven't paid enough attention to this 499 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: in my mind, Clay, there have been concerns from the 500 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 3: US military, from the Pentagon all along about how long 501 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: we can even sustain the arm shipments to Ukraine, stretching 502 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: art Think about that. The Ukrainian war is stretching our 503 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: war supply chain capability. 504 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: Now. 505 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 3: I understand it's far away, but the point is we 506 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 3: can't make enough artillery rounds fast enough right now. So 507 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 3: domestic industry is more than just whether you can buy 508 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 3: cheap flat screen TVs is the point, and I think 509 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: Steven Miller's been hitting that point hard. 510 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: Not only that, I mean I've raised the question, and 511 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a really tough one that nobody has 512 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: an answer for. What happens if China actually invades Taiwan, 513 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: if we had a war start. Our reliance on China 514 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: to produce many of the goods that the United States 515 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: has to have is actually, I think maybe buck the 516 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: largest national security issue we have. Leaving a side, Look, 517 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: somebody could get a nuclear weapon and set it off 518 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: somewhere around the world, right, I'm talking about in a 519 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: state actor situation. The danger of China controlling so much 520 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: of the flow of American commerce is that if they 521 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: decided to engage in some nefarious action, we just have 522 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: to wear it. I think because we don't have the 523 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: ability to produce our own products without China being involved. 524 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: No, I think we rely a lot on the Taiwanese 525 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 3: being able to extract such a high price from a 526 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 3: Chinese invasion of and well, but probably there's a lot 527 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 3: of different theories on this. There's a lot of war 528 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 3: gaming around this. What China would most likely do, in 529 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: my view, is they would try to just launch missile 530 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 3: and air strikes, missile strikes and pummel the island into 531 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 3: submission as much as possible, and then maybe they would 532 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 3: try some kind of a amphibious landing operation, which you know, 533 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: Taiwan is not big compared to China, but it's obviously 534 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: very sophisticated technologically, and it's it's a rough country to invade. 535 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: The back eastern half of it. There's a lot, it's 536 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: very rugged, there's a lot of mountains. I'm just saying 537 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: that we're really relying a lot on the Taiwanese, making 538 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: it ugly for China, much more so than I think 539 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 3: we would just be able to ride in like the 540 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: cavalry in a Western movie and save the day. Would 541 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: not be it would not be easy or fun for anyone, 542 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 3: And that's putting it mildly. 543 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: We'll take some of your calls. We come back eight 544 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: hundred and two A two two eight A two.

We got some some very 574 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: important sports commentary and all that coming here in a second. 575 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: But I do have to ask you because there's a 576 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 3: lot of concern out there. The headlines are really all 577 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: dominated right now by what the market's doing in response 578 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: to Trump's Liberation Day and the tariffs. You are in 579 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: the United States Senate, the august legislative body that it is, 580 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: you have to oversee a lot of what's going on 581 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: with the economy with your fellow senators. Are you worried? 582 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 3: Is this all part of the plan? What do you 583 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 3: tell do a lot of our Trump supporting audience that 584 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 3: has a little bit of concern. 585 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 11: Right now, Well, everybody's a little concerned. Let me tell 586 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 11: you this. It's called a great reset. I've been here 587 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 11: four years and I've never seen the destruction of a 588 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 11: country so fast. And what the Democrats did for the 589 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 11: last four years and then the eight years before President 590 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 11: Trump went in for four years. He got it back 591 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 11: on track to some point. But we're in trouble. This 592 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 11: whole country's in trouble, and we cannot continue to run 593 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 11: the football up the middle like we've been doing it. 594 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 11: We got to start throwing the ball a little bit. 595 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 11: That's analogy I've been putting on it. The game plan 596 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 11: has changed. We're going to win this game, and we're 597 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 11: going to do things different. Because we stay the course 598 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 11: of what we've been doing, thirty seven three dollars in 599 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 11: debt will be just a small part of what we'll 600 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 11: be in and then we'll end up being a socialist 601 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 11: country with third world mentality of crime and all the 602 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 11: things that are going on. We have got to do 603 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 11: something different and it will work because President Trump understands it. 604 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 8: So do Scott Bessett, the Secretary. 605 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 11: And Treasurer Treasurer Howard Ludni Commerce Secretary think had a 606 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 11: great plan. 607 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 8: I'm looking forward to it. Working. 608 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: Senator Tupperville with us right now from Alabama. I appreciate 609 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: you joining us. We're going to talk with Bruce Pearl 610 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: actually a little bit later, scheduled to in the show, 611 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: and I'll ask you about him in a sec. I 612 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: think he's the AP coach of the Year. Not a 613 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: bad guy, not a bad result there. But you have 614 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: been sharing this story and our audience has responded to 615 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: in a big way. A young woman was in a 616 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: fencing competition and she decided to take a knee rather 617 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: than compete against a man who was winning many of 618 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: these matches. You coached football, You've got a background in 619 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: sports for a long time. Would you have ever believe 620 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: that we would be in a position where one political 621 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: party is saying men should be able to compete in 622 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: women's sports and the other one is just saying, hey, 623 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,959 Speaker 1: we think women's sports should just be for women, and 624 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: that it's truly turned into a Democrat versus Republican issue. 625 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 11: It's unbelievable and it's just a continuing motion of what 626 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 11: the Democrats in this city of Washington, d C. Has 627 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 11: done to the American dreamy. They're trying to destroy it. 628 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 11: We're not going to allow that to happen. This young 629 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 11: girl who was fencing the University of Maryland, I think 630 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 11: she was part of university, but she was on the 631 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 11: USA fencing team, you know, refuse to compete against the man. 632 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 11: And she is exactly right. I mean, there's no there's 633 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 11: no business whatsoever for young boys or men to participate 634 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 11: against girls or women. And you got to think about this. 635 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 11: And President Trump's even said this. In a couple of years, 636 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 11: we're getting ready to have the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. 637 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 11: We'll be the laughing stock of the world if we 638 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 11: can't get this back going the way it should be. 639 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 11: I can remember watching the last Olympics and that boy 640 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 11: or man boxing against that young lady yep, and it 641 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 11: was a mismatch. So we got to get it done. 642 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 11: I've been I've had three bills on the floor. All 643 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 11: three of them have not passed. Now one Democrat ever 644 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 11: votes to keep men out of women's sports. 645 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 8: It is a disaster. 646 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 11: Now I've got no men in Olympic sports, and we'll 647 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 11: put that on the floor. But they're gonna fight against it. 648 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 11: I don't understand. I asked them, you know, what do 649 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 11: you believe in and what we believe in the rights 650 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 11: of everybody, How about the rights for young girls and women? 651 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 11: Because we're gonna lose women's sports if we don't watch it. 652 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: Let me give you a little bit more detail. For 653 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: those of you out there who may not know young 654 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: woman's name, Stephanie Turner. She said Fox News this morning. 655 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: I told them I was refusing to fence because this 656 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: person is a man, and I'm a woman, and this 657 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: is a women's tournament. The USA Fencing Organization then kicked 658 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: her out of the tournament and has expelled her from. 659 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 2: Being able to compete. But this is a very powerful moment. 660 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: It's on video her saying quite simply, I'm a woman 661 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: and it's a women's tournament, and I'm not going to 662 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: compete against a man. And the fact that this is 663 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a political issue in any way is crazy. I coach 664 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: a little league baseball. Let me tell you, if somebody 665 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: had shown up with a sixteen year old and tried 666 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: to play in twelve you, every parent in America would 667 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: have said no. That's why we have agent limits. This 668 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: is also why we have men and women's sports. 669 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 8: Buck Yeah. 670 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, And you'd had absolutely parents all over you too. 671 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 11: You'd have had parents. 672 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: All over yes, no doubt. 673 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 3: What know, Senator, Senator Zupperville, You know President Trump has 674 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 3: taken a very strong posture on this, and specifically in 675 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 3: the case of Maine. We recall the governor of Maine 676 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 3: got into a little back and forth with him, and 677 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 3: she said, you know, I'll see you in court, which 678 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 3: is generally not something you want to say to Trump 679 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 3: because this guy, this guy lives for the conflict. He 680 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 3: loves to throw down when he thinks he needs to 681 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 3: and when he thinks he's in the right now. It 682 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 3: turns out that it looks like Maine's trying to back 683 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 3: off a little bit, but the federal funding is going 684 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 3: to get cut to Maine if they continue down this pathway. 685 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 3: I mean, do you support taking those kinds of actions 686 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 3: to protect women in sports? What would you like to 687 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 3: see done? 688 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 11: Everything that we possibly can do, we have to do it. 689 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 11: It has started not at the just the high school 690 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 11: or college level. It's got to start at in elementary school. 691 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 11: It's got to start at in the in the levels 692 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 11: that we need young girls to be involved and enjoy 693 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 11: participating in sports. To get them involved in it. It's 694 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 11: made great leadership out of a lot of women over 695 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 11: the years. When I first got into coaching, Title nine 696 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 11: just started and it opened up the avenues for many, 697 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 11: many different sports that girls didn't have. Softball, volleyball, track, 698 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 11: got them involved. It's built leadership around this country, and 699 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 11: I'm telling you what's gonna happen, This transgender nonsense, and 700 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 11: the NIL at the same time is going to put 701 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 11: title nine in women's sports under because NIL is taking 702 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 11: money away. You can't survive without money in athletics. And 703 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 11: now you've got transgender boys that want to participate. 704 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 8: So it's a double whammy on women. 705 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 11: And girls' sports, and you know it's it's absolutely shamed. 706 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 8: We're having to talk about it. 707 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: We're talking with center Tommy Tuberville. I just mentioned Bruce 708 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: Pearley scheduled to join us in a bit. You're an 709 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: Auburn guy or eagle for all of our Alabama and 710 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: Auburn fans out there. You coached Auburn football, which has 711 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: been a long time big winner. You had a lot 712 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: of success there. Auburn basketball has not. Bruce pearl has 713 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: them two wins away from the national championship. He was 714 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: just named AP Coach of the Year. How big of 715 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: a deal is that and how hard are you rooting 716 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: for Auburn this weekend? 717 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 11: Very well deserved. I live in Auburn. I play golf 718 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 11: with Bruce all the time. I was at a function 719 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 11: with him. A couple of weeks ago. He has done 720 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 11: an amazing job of that program. I remember I got 721 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 11: there ninety nine were decent in basketball. Couldn't hardly sell 722 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 11: any season tickets. Now you can't get a ticket. I've 723 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 11: got I live in that town and I begged to 724 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 11: get a ticket to get into a game. He has 725 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 11: done one of the best jobs probably ever done in 726 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 11: college athletics to get something turned around. 727 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 8: But you got to give kudos to. 728 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 11: To the entire sec of the athletes now that they 729 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 11: have in basketball, all across other than Kentucky. Used to 730 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 11: be just Kentucky. Now they all can play basketball. And 731 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 11: Alabama almost made the Final four, and. 732 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 8: It was close. 733 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 11: I thought they had one of the top four teams, 734 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 11: but they didn't make it. But Auburn's in it. I'll 735 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 11: be voting here tomorrow. Unfortunately I won't get to go. 736 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 8: To the game. 737 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 11: But I'm looking forward to the game and tell Bruce 738 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 11: good luck for me. I talked to him yesterday, but 739 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 11: he'd get a little bit tight uptight. 740 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 8: And but that's Bruce Pearl. I mean he takes it 741 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 8: very very seriously. 742 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 3: Senator Trupperville, you know Clay twice this week had to 743 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 3: go play golf. You know, I had to be here 744 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 3: trying to say the Republic and hold together America to 745 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 3: the best of my ability, while my esteemed co host 746 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 3: was out there on the links as one does. I 747 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 3: don't know if you saw any video of him, but 748 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 3: you have any. You know you are a phenomenal coach. 749 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 3: That is beyond question. Can you give him any coaching 750 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 3: on his swing? Because some people are saying some things 751 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 3: about my friend Clay about his golf swing, and I 752 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 3: feel the need to defend him. What do we have here? 753 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 11: Well, most things start out with talent, and you got 754 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 11: talent and athletic ability. You know, it's good that you 755 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 11: can just play any sport and whether you're good at 756 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 11: it or not, it takes a lot out of pressure off. 757 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 11: It's you know, it's good for exercise and all that, 758 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 11: but it all starts for that athletic ability. I think 759 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 11: he's got some, but he needs to work on it. 760 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 11: And again, not elite. 761 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: That's right, coach, you can only it's it ain't the 762 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy's and the Axes and those all the time. It's 763 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: Jimmy's and the Joe's and I don't have it. I 764 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of athletic ability here when it 765 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: comes to to golf. 766 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 2: My swing does not look good. I deserve all the criticism. 767 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, well it's uh, you win a lot of 768 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 11: games unless you have players. 769 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 3: That was not That was not the inspiring locker room 770 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: speech from Coach Tubberville. I was expecting he's basically telling 771 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 3: Clay that got to leave it to the pros. Well 772 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 3: raise some great money for charity earlier this week for 773 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 3: till the Towers and Senator Tubberville.

The way you guys deliver your information 943 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 12: is just such a privilege and honor, you know, as 944 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 12: a former Navy seal and CII contractor, you know, I 945 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 12: was like, man, I'm pretty fired up, but this is 946 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 12: definitely a little a little little intense getting on with 947 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 12: you guys and represent you guys. But I think you know, 948 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 12: with my background and also you know my background as 949 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 12: a motivational performance coach. You know, I did win a 950 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 12: world series with the Boston Red Sox back in twenty eighteen. 951 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 12: What I'm stoked to be able to do is to 952 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 12: bring all of that experience to your audience and hopefully 953 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 12: develop my own following, but really to dig into all 954 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 12: the different ideas. I mean not just motivation and performance 955 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 12: and tactical or security analysis, but more so just opinion 956 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 12: on the cultural wars that are taking place, the craziness 957 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 12: we're seeing in schools, you know, and then you know 958 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 12: what's going on around the world. Man, I mean, this tariff, 959 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 12: this tariff war has got me kind of fired up 960 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 12: right now. But we're gonna hit everything on the David 961 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 12: Rutherford Show, that's for sure. 962 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: What do you think when you look around now, there 963 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 1: are positives starting to kind of show up everywhere. In particular, 964 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of younger guys and gals 965 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: are willing to serve the country, the Marines, the military. 966 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: They're hitting their recruitment goals, which they hadn't been doing 967 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 1: for a long time. What do you attribute that to? 968 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,720 Speaker 1: Do you think there's this wellspring of patriotism that hasn't 969 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 1: been tended to that long, but that younger guys and 970 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: gals are starting to respond to. 971 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 12: Clay, that's one hundred percent what it is. I mean, 972 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 12: what numbers you know, prior to Trump getting in office, 973 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 12: We're the lowest numbers we've seen since late nineties and 974 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 12: that's when I first joined. I mean, it was pathetic 975 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 12: back in those days. I mean, we didn't even have 976 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 12: enough money at Seal Team wanted to do full training profiles. 977 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 12: And then obviously the g WoT exploded and everybody wanted 978 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 12: to serve. Patriotism was everything. Flags were everywhere for the 979 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 12: first part of that war, and then as people grew 980 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 12: tired of it, and then what really I think was 981 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 12: the most detrimental thing out of all was just how 982 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,959 Speaker 12: Iraq wound down. How you know, obviously the Afghanistan pull 983 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,320 Speaker 12: out was an atrocious abomination in every way shape for 984 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,319 Speaker 12: in my opinion, it was worse than Saigon. But you know, 985 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 12: I think it's more than that. It was the Dei stuff. 986 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,399 Speaker 12: It was, you know, a lack of meritocracy in there. 987 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 12: But now Man Pete's back in office, You've got Bongino 988 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 12: as deputy director of the FBI, You've got a resurgence 989 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 12: in American patriots is an American pride, and I think 990 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 12: young men out there are ready to put their courage 991 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 12: on the line for what American really stands for. And 992 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 12: so I think that's a direct correlation for sure. 993 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 3: Talking to our friend David Rutherford, David Rutherford Show launches 994 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 3: in the Clay and Buck podcast network coming up on 995 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 3: this Monday, so make sure you go to the iHeart 996 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 3: app where we get your podcasts and subscribe. You know, Dave, 997 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 3: I think also one thing that you bring to the 998 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 3: table that is going to be really interesting as perspective, 999 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 3: and I know, going to be covering big news of 1000 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 3: the day of course, and getting into as you said, 1001 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 3: culture war stuff and where things stand based on the 1002 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 3: news cycle. But you're both a seasoned, a grizzled warrior 1003 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 3: and a girl dad and an era of questions about 1004 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 3: what American masculinity means. I mean, I think to be 1005 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 3: a sealed, to have been to combat, and now to 1006 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 3: be raising four girls, And you know, these are voices 1007 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 3: that we just need to have more out there, because 1008 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 3: there are some folks who are running into this space 1009 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 3: and building substantial followings who maybe diagnose the problems of 1010 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 3: masculinity the right way sometimes, but definitely don't have the solutions. 1011 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 3: I think you can bring the solutions, or you can 1012 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 3: bring the advice that young men and guys your own 1013 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:48,919 Speaker 3: age need to hear. 1014 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 8: Well. 1015 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,399 Speaker 12: I appreciate you saying that, Buck, I mean, the most 1016 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 12: thing that I care most about in this light, in 1017 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 12: this world are my four daughters and my wife, right, 1018 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 12: And that's my faith and wants me to believe that. 1019 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 12: But what I also do, and I have been doing 1020 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 12: for the past, you know, twenty plus years, is I've 1021 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 12: been mentoring young men. I've got one young man I've 1022 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 12: been meant to touring since he was twelve years old. 1023 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 12: He's thirty three. He's currently at Seal Team six. 1024 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 10: Right. 1025 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 12: I've got another young man I started mentoring when he 1026 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 12: was sixteen. He went on to the Virginia Military Institute 1027 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,359 Speaker 12: and then just left being a Green Beret after eight years. 1028 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 12: And so I do have a track record of not 1029 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 12: only you know, mentoring athletes, but also young men in 1030 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 12: terms of pursuing their height and ambition. You know, the 1031 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 12: biggest things that I want my daughters to be aware 1032 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 12: of is strong, confident, courageous, and noble young men. And 1033 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 12: so how do you teach that? How do you teach courageousness? 1034 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 12: How do you teach nobility? And I think where it 1035 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 12: really is is going back to those those core stories 1036 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 12: of great men that built this country. And so what 1037 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 12: I'm really going to focus on doing is bringing those 1038 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 12: stories back, bringing that culture back to the forefront. Of 1039 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 12: the consciousness of young men in this in this country, 1040 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 12: and hopefully, you know, if they're out searching for for 1041 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 12: the right role models or mentors. I'm sure I'm telling 1042 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,839 Speaker 12: you what I'm I'm I'm really hoping that I can 1043 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 12: provide that that voice and that conduit so that they 1044 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 12: have something that they can model themselves. 1045 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: After no doubt, I cannot wait for this podcast to 1046 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 1: get underway. 1047 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 3: We're excited about it.
