1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:01,240 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: In Friday edition, Clay Travis buck Sexton show Buck, We'll 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 2: be back with. 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: Me on Monday. 5 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 2: He and his lovely wife Carrie are amidst their baby 6 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: moon traveling right now, and they, of course in twenty 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: twenty five, are expecting a baby boy in April, which 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: is very, very exciting, and they are trying to get 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 2: away before the chaos of having a new board arrived. 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: It's funny. 11 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm not that we're going to give tons of advice 12 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: here for everybody in twenty twenty five, but I do 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: think for those of you that are expecting kids, there's 14 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: really legitimately nothing that anyone can tell you that is 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: going to prepare you for having your first child. I 16 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: think women are probably better at this. They understand the 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: functionality of things. Hey I need a crib, Hey I 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 2: need a stroller. Men are mostly clueless on all of this. 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: That's why women have baby showers. They're aware of things 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: like that. But in terms of how much your life 21 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: is going to change, you might have heard us talking 22 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: about it some on the show. Oh I just I 23 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: don't think Buck has any idea what's coming for him, 24 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: and I don't think any dad ever has in the 25 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: history of daddom and so it's exciting, but it's chaos, 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: it's crazy, especially that first year. 27 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: So I told him one. 28 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: Bit of advice, and this would be my bit of 29 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: advice for anybody that knows that you're expecting, particularly that 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: first child in twenty twenty five. The one really great 31 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: bit of advice I got was actually from I think 32 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: it was the first person who told me. This was 33 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: Dan Wetzel, who was who is a Yahoo Sports national columnist, 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: really good dude up in the Detroit area. He said, 35 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: you should really take a baby moon. 36 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: I didn't even know. 37 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: The concept of it at that time, but once you 38 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: have kids, until they go off to college or move 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: out of the house, they are an amazing amount of responsibility. 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: And so I said to Buck and Carrie, and I've 41 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: said this to a lot of people who are younger 42 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: than me having their first kid, take a trip, do 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: something fun, get away just the two of you, because 44 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: it's gonna be really really hard and difficult after that 45 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: first baby for a while, and then for subsequent kids 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: as well. So anyway, that's my bit of advice. Also, 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: I'll point this out. I'm gonna finish the show I've 48 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: got Fox News with Martha McCollums show. I think Jackie 49 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: Heinrich is hitting in I'll do an OutKick show, and 50 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: then I'm immediately hopping in the car to drive to 51 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: one of my son's basketball games. Is it just me 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: or does it feel to you like your kids basketball, football, 53 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: baseball games, whatever they are, hockey that they compete to 54 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: put them at the most difficult to reach fields or arenas. 55 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: In your community. 56 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: I might as well drive to Chattanooga, Tennessee, or Louisville, 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 2: Kentucky as try to get to the location in the 58 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: Nashville area from my house where my son is playing 59 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: at four o'clock Central time. 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. 61 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: I mean it's gonna take me like an hour and 62 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: a half to drive from my house to this location. 63 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: It really genuinely feels sometimes like I'm being pranked. I 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: can't be the only parent that thinks that. When you 65 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: get the schedule and they're like, Okay, we got a game. 66 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Oh it's at eight am. Okay on Saturday. Well that's 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: not ideal, but you know it's oh and it's two 68 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: hours away, even though it's still in your same city area, 69 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: So you have to leave at six am. I feel 70 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: like that happens every Saturday, every Sunday. Am I the 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: only parent who feels this way. That's kind of what 72 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: I would say. So we are diving in here Friday, 73 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: potentially breaking news as rejoice the Congress that just passed 74 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: that was one of the least efficient, least effective, most 75 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: destructive to our country's national interest. It is now done, 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: and they are swearing in a new Congress, and that 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: Congress is going to have a Republican majority in the Senate. 78 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: John Thune will be your Senate majority leader. Not a 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: lot of drama there. Fifty three Republicans Senate flip seats 80 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: in Ohio, in Montana and in Pennsylvania, so excruciatingly close 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: to flipping the seats in Wisconsin and also in Michigan 82 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: and Arizona and Nevada. I mean, there was a map 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: out there where Republicans could have ended up with fifty 84 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: seven Senate seats, which would have been potentially a probably 85 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: decade plus Senate majority guaranteed. But at fifty three, it's 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: still a good feeling with some targets out there on 87 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: the map going forward, and you would hope ability to 88 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: get a lot done on the Senate side, particularly as 89 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: it pertains to judges on the House side, the ongoing 90 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: never ending drama that is surrounding will Mike Johnson be 91 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: the Speaker or not, which has essentially existed for over 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: a year now. There is one Congressman who has said 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: that he is not going to vote for Mike Johnson 94 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: as speaker. That is Thomas Massey, really, I think outstanding 95 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: congressman to be fair, from Kentucky. I like the guy 96 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 2: a lot, and he is just basically convinced that both 97 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: parties are spending money so much that he can't support 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: anybody to be speaker right now. And I think many 99 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: of you out there kind of agree with that on 100 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: some level. 101 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: We've moved from a. 102 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 2: Four and a half trillion dollar budget pre COVID to 103 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: a six and a half trillion dollar budget now, and 104 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like anybody really has the ability to 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: rein back in the excessive federal spending that we are 106 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: seeing on a year to year basis, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, 107 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: or independent. I think a lot of you out there 108 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: are frustrated about that, and Thomas Massey represents that frustration. 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 2: But because of the slim majority in the House and peers. 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Republicans are going to have two hundred and twenty House seats. 111 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: Democrats will have two hundred and fifteen House seats, but 112 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: all of those representatives are not seated yet, which means 113 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: that Mike Johnson can only lose a couple of votes 114 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 2: and still be name Speaker of the House. So that vote, 115 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: I've got the team monitoring it to ensure that we 116 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: are on top of it. Remember Mike Johnson, it took 117 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: him a bunch of rounds before he ended up the 118 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: speaker back in the day. It certainly took Kevin McCarthy 119 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 2: before that when he was the speaker, many different rounds 120 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: to end up being the speaker. So Donald Trump has 121 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: endorsed Mike Johnson. To me, there isn't a lot to 122 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: be gained at this point in time by going through 123 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: a series of votes before Mike Johnson ends up the speaker, 124 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: because it doesn't appear that there is anybody else that 125 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: would have more votes than him. Donald Trump has endorsed him. 126 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: If I were giving advice to the extent that anyone 127 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: is listening to me right now, I would vote for 128 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, and I would vote for Mike Johnson, because 129 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't think the way to start this new Congress 130 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: with a Republican majority and a Republican Senate majority and 131 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: Donald Trump coming into the White House mercifully in about 132 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: what's seventeen days from now, I don't think there's a 133 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: lot to be gained by beginning an interness in a 134 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: civil war inside of the Republican Party as you go 135 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: through the process of picking a speaker. So my advice 136 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 2: would be, Hey, let's just get the process underway, and 137 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: let's go ahead and pick a speaker and hit the 138 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: ground running. The positive here, and I do think it's 139 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: a pretty substantial positive, is Joe Biden's presidency is effectively over. 140 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? 141 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: He still has seventeen days left, but with a new 142 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: Congress that has a Republican majority in both the House 143 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: and the Senate now in office, there is virtually nothing 144 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden has the power to try to do. 145 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: They can't pull any dirty tricks. They're not going to 146 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: suddenly have Supreme Court openings and be moving things around 147 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: trying to use their majority in the lame duck congressional session. 148 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: There is effectively nothing that is remaining that can be done, 149 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: and so I think the way that all of this 150 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: is going to shake out is going to be ultimately 151 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: very benefit. And I should mention that both Buck and 152 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: myself we will be in Washington, d C. For the 153 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: inauguration of Donald Trump. We're going to be using our 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: Washington d C studios, probably more than we have used 155 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: them in the past. You guys know that occasionally we 156 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: will be up there broadcasting. We think it's important to 157 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: be able to bring the people who are making decisions, 158 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: whether it's the Speaker, send him, Majority Leader, Donald Trump himself, 159 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: and be able to talk to him face to face 160 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: sometimes in Washington, d C, particularly over these next two years. 161 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: So we will be in d C for the inauguration. 162 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: We'll be seeing everybody, but given the massive power that 163 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: is now coming in with Republican sweeping control, we are 164 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: going to be up there to celebrate that inauguration and 165 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: bring you the sites and sounds of Washington, d C 166 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: as it returns to Republican control. After the landslide win 167 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: of the November elections, which many of you are still 168 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: celebrating and probably continue to celebrate through Thanksgiving, Christmas and 169 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: now New Year, certainly. I still find myself walking around 170 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: with a smile on my face even more than usual 171 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: because of those results. All right, a roadmap for where 172 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: we're going. I got a tee off on something that 173 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 2: happened yesterday. Congratulations to Notre Dame, one of the great 174 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: elite institutions of higher learning in this country, Amy Cony 175 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 2: Barrett's alma mater for law school. I really am impressed 176 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: with Notre Dame, and have been impressed with Notre Dame 177 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: for a long time. In particular, as we come up 178 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: on the five year anniversary of COVID, Notre Dame said, hey, 179 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: we're playing college football, when everybody else in the Big 180 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: Ten area was saying, oh, it's too scary. With COVID 181 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 2: going on, we could never play football. And I was 182 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: sitting around saying, hey, guys, you know football is way 183 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: more dangerous than COVID. These guys are going to get 184 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: the COVID virus, have no idea they had it, And 185 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: meanwhile they're out there trying to knock each other's heads off. 186 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: If you told me, hey, we have to do something 187 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 2: for safety, would you rather the players risk COVID or 188 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: would you rather than risk a football game? If I 189 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: had to analyze it purely from safety, I'd be like, 190 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: football is way more dangerous than COVID. Notre Dame saw that, 191 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: and I don't think it's a coincidence that Notre Dame 192 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: n BYU, and I've become very impressed by BYU as well, 193 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 2: that both of those religious institutions were among the only 194 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 2: schools in their geographic region. Almost every school in the 195 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: Mountain time zone and in the Pacific time zone said, oh, 196 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: it's too scary to play football, we can't do it, 197 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: and almost every school in the Big ten States said, oh, 198 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: we can't do it now. We fought hard, and eventually 199 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: football ended up happening. A lot of smart parents, alum's grads, 200 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: all those things, but it's always reminded me who was 201 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: there in the fight, who was actually willing to stand 202 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: up and lead the charge. Notre Dame and BYU and 203 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: their respective geographic regions got everything right with COVID, particularly 204 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: compared to all the surrounding institutions. And you'll remember one 205 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: of the signs that Trump was going to win, and 206 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: that he was going to win and do much better 207 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 2: with young people. Do you remember me giving you the 208 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: poll of Notre Dame students when they were overwhelmingly going 209 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: to vote Trump, and they had not done so in 210 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen or twenty twenty. It was an early clue 211 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: about young men but also young women, and how they're 212 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: fed up with the bs that they had been fed. 213 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: And I thought that was a good sign not only 214 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: for young people, but also for how Catholic voters were 215 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: responding to Donald Trump. 216 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: Well. 217 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: Last night, Notre Dame one at the Sugar Bowl, which 218 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: was played safely thankfully. In New Orleans were continuing to 219 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: deal with the fallout of all the people that were 220 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: murdered by a terrorist in a violent terror attack in 221 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: the early morning hours of New Year's on Bourbon Street. 222 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: And when we come back, I'm going to take a 223 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: break here, but I want to play two different sides 224 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: of the coin when it came to how do you respond? 225 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: On the one hand, to me, the innate goodness of 226 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: the American people, as the national anthem was being played 227 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: and as the United States flag was being unfurled across 228 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: the entirety of the field, could hear all of the 229 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: Notre Dame Georgia fans and many fans of other teams 230 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: that were in the Sugar Bowl for that game at 231 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: the Superdome in New Orleans, as everyone began to chant USA, USA, USA, Unfortunately, 232 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 2: corporate America is not as good as the people of America. 233 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 2: I want to play for you the All State CEOs 234 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: Ham handed lecture that he gave before the Sugar Bowl 235 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: began as the All State Sugar Bowl. That's why he 236 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: was speaking. And then I also want to discuss with 237 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: you ESPNS in transigence, their negligence, their inde indefensible stewardship 238 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: of sports. They refuse to air the national anthem and 239 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 2: the USA chant and show Notre Dame's football team running 240 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: onto the field led by one of their players carrying 241 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: an American flag, absolutely indefensible. I'm going to tee off. 242 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: The people of America are far better, very often than 243 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: the many of the people out there making tens of 244 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 2: millions of dollars to theoretically represent US an all fanssets 245 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: of life, whether it's corporate, whether it's media, whether it 246 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: is on Capitol Hill. We're oute right now as a 247 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: new Congress is seated. I'm going to talk about all 248 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 2: that with you, but I want to tell you in 249 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: the meantime, Hey, It's Friday, and we've been in the 250 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: middle of the holiday season, and how many of you 251 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: out there are feeling a little bit of a drag 252 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: on your overall ability to get through the day. I 253 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: would imagine there are probably some of you out there 254 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: doing that. You know, might be because your testosterone levels 255 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 2: are declining. As you age, your testosterone naturally declines, that's 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: what happens with men, but we're also starting at a 257 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: much lower level. They don't know why, but you know 258 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: your grandfather, your great grandfather had about twice the testosterone 259 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: level and their bodies as you and me and every 260 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: other man out there. Why is that a lot of 261 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: different theories, but what we know is it's way lower. 262 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: And since testosterone is the engine that drives the male energy, 263 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: you might want to try out chalk, which is an 264 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: all natural testosterone supplement that will get you up in 265 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: three months time twenty percent in your testoso stone level. 266 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Why not try it out?

And I understand 295 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: it's a little bit difficult to hear it, but you 296 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: can hear at the end the entire stadium in Unison 297 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: begins to chant at least many tens of thousands of people. 298 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: Do Usa, Usa Usa. 299 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: It's a remarkable testament, I think, to the American spirit, 300 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: to the spirit of all those fans that were there, 301 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: and certainly to the city of New Orleans, which has 302 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: an indomitable spirit, more so than almost any city in America. 303 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: It's a fabulous place filled with fantastic people. Now you 304 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: know who didn't think it was important to share that 305 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: moment with the nation. ESPN they cut the national anthem 306 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: and the moment of silence, as well as Notre d 307 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: Aime running on the field with an American flag from 308 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: their broadcast. They have been criticized for it. Do you 309 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: know what they said when asked why they couldn't show 310 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 2: the national anthem, the USA Chance, the moment of silence, 311 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: or Notre Dame running on the field with the American flag, 312 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: They said there were timing issues. Timing issues. ESPN controls 313 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: the time. They're the television network airing the game. The 314 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: SEC network managed to show the moment of silence and 315 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: the national anthem. ESPN didn't. Many of the people that 316 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: work there, this is my theory, hate America and they 317 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: didn't want to show a unifying moment for America that 318 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: involved chanting USA, the national anthem, the flag, or the 319 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: moment of silence.

Appreciate all 343 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us. As we are rolling 344 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: through the Friday edition of the program. The ongoing process 345 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 2: of selecting the next speaker is continuing. We will give 346 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 2: you an update if it is resolved during the course 347 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: of the program while we are taking place here. But 348 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: I was just playing for you the audio of all 349 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: the great people inside of the Super Bowl beginning to 350 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: chant USA after an incredibly powerful rendition of the national anthem, 351 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 2: in a moment of silence for all the victims, many 352 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: of whom were alums of or current students, sadly of 353 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: colleges that were either playing last night or have played 354 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: in the Sugar Bowl many times in the past. Bourbon 355 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: Street is a place where, particularly in the South, many 356 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: people go to celebrate New Year's Eve. I would say 357 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: it's almost a version of New York City for many 358 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: people in the South in terms of the cachet of 359 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: being there for a New Year's celebration. Nashville, New Orleans, 360 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: New York City, Las Vegas. I would say those are 361 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: kind of places that at least have the patenta of 362 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: being big time locations for New Year's Eve party events, 363 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 2: and many people travel every year. I've been there on 364 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: New Year's Eve many times because of the hospitality and 365 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 2: incredible fund provided by the City of New Orleans, State 366 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: of Louisiana in general. Now, ESPN didn't cover They blamed 367 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: timing issues, even though the SEC network managed to cover it. 368 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: I think it's because many people at ESPN frankly hate 369 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: America and they want to be divisive, and they don't 370 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: like things like the American flag or fans who chant USA, 371 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: or frankly voters who are supporters of Donald Trump. I 372 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: think this is a reality. I don't think this was 373 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: a glitch. I think this was an intentional decision. It's 374 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 2: not just the ESPN. Though the Sugar Bowl is brought 375 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 2: to you by All State Insurance Company eight. This is 376 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 2: the moron they trotted out he had a message in 377 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 2: the wake of the terror attack, the All State CEO did. 378 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how many of you have heard this. 379 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: It has gone viral. I can think off the top 380 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: of my head, if I were the CEO of All 381 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: State and they said, Clay Travis, you're gonna record a 382 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: message and they're going to play it before the Sugar 383 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: Bowl starts. What's the message that you would like to send. 384 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: Here's what I would have said. I haven't written anything down. 385 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: Here's thirty seconds from Clay Travis, with no PR team, 386 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: with no huge All State Board involvement. Here's what I 387 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 2: would have said if I were addressing everybody who's going 388 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: to be watching Notre Dame in Georgia. I want to 389 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: begin this statement by saying we have deep sympathy and 390 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: our best wishes and deepest condolences go to everyone who 391 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: was killed in a horrible terror attack in New Orleans 392 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: on Bourbon Street. Those people should still be alive. They 393 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: were taken from us by a monster. There is no 394 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: defending terrorism. As a nation. We must stand up against 395 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: it in every aspect of our lives, and we must 396 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: defeat terrorism. We are fortunate to be able to play 397 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 2: this game today. We do so in honor of all 398 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: of those who gave their lives, who lost their lives 399 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: on Bourbon Street on New Year's Eve and running into 400 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: New Year's Day. And also we deeply think the police 401 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: officers and brave first responders who arrived and killed this terrorist, 402 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: and we want for this never to occur again. 403 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: All right. That wasn't perfect. 404 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: That's me right off the cuff, without any preparation at all, 405 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: trying to address what I would have said before the 406 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl. 407 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Not perfect, But. 408 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: I think most of you out there kind of nodding along, saying, yeah, 409 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 2: that's the right thing. That's what a CEO of All 410 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: States should say in the wake of a terror attack. 411 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: You should condemn terrorism. You should speak to the families 412 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: of the loved ones that were taken from us, and 413 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: you should say that we hope this never happens again. 414 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: All right, here's what All State CEO actually said. 415 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 3: Welcome to the All States Sugar Bowl. Wednesday. Tragedy struck 416 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 3: the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims 417 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 3: and their families. We also need to be stronger together 418 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join all State, 419 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 3: working in local communities all across America to amplify the positive, 420 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 3: increase trust, and accept people's imperfections and differences. Together we win. 421 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: I can't believe that's real. Okay, the opening statement, whatever 422 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 2: he said, basically what you should say. Then he said 423 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 2: that we need to work together to overcome divisiveness and 424 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: negativity and to stand together and deal with everyone's imperfections. 425 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry this was a terror attack. 426 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: Should we have been less divisive and less negative associated 427 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: with isis? Should we consider a man driving down the street, 428 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: mowing down innocent people on Bourbon Street and imperfection? This 429 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: could and maybe should be All States bud light moment. 430 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: These people still don't get it. 431 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: They are not as good as you and me, and 432 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: the general American public is innately. ESPN won't show the 433 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: national anthem, they won't show the moment of silence. They 434 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 2: won't show Notre Dame running out with the American flag. 435 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: All State CEO can't condemn terrorism in a statement right 436 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: after a terror attack that required the Sugar Bowl. 437 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: To be moved. 438 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 2: This is what DEI loser lunatics do. They take away 439 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: from the American body politic and won't allow us to 440 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 2: acknowledge good and evil. They won't show the good New Orleans, 441 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: the whole sugar coming together, chanting USA USA, with the 442 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: flag out on the field right after a beautiful national 443 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 2: anthem and an honorary moment of silence for all the victims. 444 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: They won't show that to us. They won't allow us 445 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: as a community to experience that. 446 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: At a ESPN. And then this. 447 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: Ignoramous Sugar Bowl spokesperson for All State, the CEO guy 448 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: makes sixteen million dollars a year, sixteen million dollars a 449 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 2: year for that rambling, inauthentic, platitude filled lecture that said, 450 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: we all have to work on our divisiveness and negativity 451 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 2: and consider maybe a little bit more imperfections. Hey, you moron, 452 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: a terrorist just killed fourteen innocent people who were out 453 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: celebrating the New year. Maybe call out terrorism instead of 454 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 2: asking the rest of us to worry about our imperfections 455 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: and our divisiveness and our negativity. And remember this is 456 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 2: a DEI I guarantee you PR department that drafted that 457 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: statement for him. I don't know if that moron read 458 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: it beforehand or not, but he didn't think, Hey, maybe 459 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: we should, you know, condemn terrorism. Maybe I shouldn't lecture 460 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: Americans about needing to overcome divisiveness and negativity and deal 461 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: with imperfections right after a dude got in a car 462 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: with an ISIS flag and mowed down people on Bourbon Street. 463 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: I don't have All State, but if I did, I 464 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: really think I would consider canceling with them. First of all, 465 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: I don't like insurance companies. Nobody does. We know this. 466 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: We've talked about it with the Healthcare CEO. Insurance doesn't 467 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: mean that you should kill someone, but insurance in general, 468 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: I hate it. Right It's the only product you have 469 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: to buy that you hope to never use. Think about 470 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 2: that for a minute. The only thing that you have 471 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 2: to buy in your life that you hope to never 472 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 2: use is insurance, and oftentimes when you have to use it, 473 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: it's crap. It's inefficient. It's not whether it's car insurance, 474 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: whether it's home insurance, whether it's life insurance, whether it's 475 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: medical insurance, healthcare, whatever it is. Dealing with insurance companies 476 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 2: is at the top of the list of things that 477 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 2: you just don't want to do. Yeah, you ever in 478 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 2: your spouse you're sitting around, You're like, one of us 479 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: got a call, and you may get in a fight 480 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: with your spouse over who has to call, because it's 481 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: such a frustrating thing to do. 482 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: You're like, no, no, you take care of it. 483 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: No, no, no, you take you fight with your spouse 484 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: because dealing with these people is so awful. 485 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: Okay. 486 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 2: So insurance companies in general, they should rank, and they 487 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: often do, rank near the bottom of customer satisfaction. And 488 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: I think it's really innately connected to the fact that 489 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: it's the only thing that all of us have to 490 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: buy that we hope we never use, and then when 491 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: we have to use it, it oftentimes doesn't do what 492 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 2: we want it to do. 493 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: Okay, So that put it aside. 494 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: But this guy is to me a perfect stand in 495 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: for a bland loser who does not understand the spirit 496 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: of the American people or the moment with which he 497 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: is charged to address them. 498 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of these dudes out there that. 499 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: Are sniveling, obsequious, not particularly strong leaders who have slowly 500 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: climbed their way up the corporate ladder by just avoiding 501 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: ever sticking their head too high to get noticed. And 502 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 2: this guy gets paid sixteen million dollars a year to 503 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: run a business that, frankly, he doesn't do much for. Right, 504 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: it's hard to lose money at All State. At this point, 505 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: I could be the CEO Fall State right now and 506 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: do this radio show and the company wouldn't even notice. 507 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: That's how easy that job is once you get to 508 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: the top. I'm gonna be honest with you, and the 509 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: guy can't even manage to read a third second address 510 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: without lecturing people about our imperfections and perfections, divisiveness and negativity. 511 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: How about condemning terrorism? How about saying isis sucks? How 512 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: about saying we got to rid our entire country of 513 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: evil and all State stands on the side of good. 514 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: Why can't we say things like that? What about ESBN 515 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: It's a freaking sports event. The whole stadium is chanting USA, USA. 516 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: That's in the wake of a terror attack. 517 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: How much of a jerk do you have to be 518 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: to not want the nation sports fans to be able 519 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: to share that moment together? Why do so many people 520 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: in positions of power hate our country and hate the 521 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: people who. 522 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: Live in it. 523 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: I just get so fed up over this, I really do, 524 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 2: and it happens so long. Often we as a collective 525 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: whole are better than the people who try to lead us, 526 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: and I just see it happen so often. You know, 527 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: I'm optimistic because you're not hearing any of these people 528 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: tell you this. But I do think it's really important. 529 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: This was the least racially divided election since nineteen sixty four, 530 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna keep hammering that because ain't nobody else 531 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: telling it to you. In sixty years, white, Black, Asian, 532 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: and Hispanic people have never been more in agreement across 533 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 2: racial lines in supporting Donald Trump than any election we've 534 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: seen since the Civil Rights movement. Not Obama oh eight, 535 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: not George W. Bush oh four, not any of our 536 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: landslide elections, not Ronald Reagan nineteen eighty or nineteen eighty four. 537 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: Never has there been since nineteen sixty four more people 538 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: of a variety of different racial backgrounds coming together and 539 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: saying I'm for Trump. And I think that's important for 540 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: all of you to understand. We actually have a lot 541 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: more in common than we do apart, and very often 542 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: it's our big organizations, whether it's the idiot all State 543 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: CEO or the conniving bureaucratic anti America ESPN snits who 544 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: didn't let us have that national anthem or the USA chant. 545 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 2: They're actually trying to tear us down and be divisive 546 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: and then may lecture us about how we need to 547 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: be more opposed to divisiveness and negativity and more embracing 548 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 2: of imperfection. Now, I'm not gonna embrace the imperfection of 549 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: a terror attack. I'm gonna call them out. They're evil 550 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: and we ought to kill all of them. I ain't 551 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: gonna apologize for it. God bless America and all of 552 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 2: you who live in it that are great people, white, Black, 553 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: Asian and Hispanic, andv for Donald Trump because. 554 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: I love all of you. 555 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: All Right, we come back, I'll take some of your calls, 556 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 2: and we'll continue to discuss the latest on the race 557 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 2: for the Speaker.

They're very unique in 561 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: that they are likely to be working like they did 562 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: in western North Carolina even in the event of catastrophe. 563 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: In fact, Buck talked about this. His sister in law 564 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 2: lives in the Asheville, North Carolina area. And by the way, 565 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: we still need to be doing more for Asheville, North Carolina. 566 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 2: Today I donated ten thousand dollars my personal money, my 567 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 2: wife and mine's personal money. 568 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: It's important to. 569 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 2: The disaster relief in Western North Carolina Mountain.

They 573 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 2: do great work to the people who took me into Ashville. Anyway, 574 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars for me, it's a small amount, but 575 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: we need to be doing more for those people in 576 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 2: Western North Carolina.
