1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: I was looking buck because my good friend polymarket. I

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: haven't talked about the gambling odds in some time, and

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: during this commercial break we were on they actually have

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: odds on whether or not you can you expect somebody

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: to be confirmed, And everybody right now, with millions and

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: millions of dollars bet is expected to be confirmed. Up

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: to eighty percent chances for everybody. So the point on

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: this is not that this is one hundred percent accurate,

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: but if you believe somebody's gonna get shot down as

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: a nominee, you can basically get four to one odds

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen. In other words, you get

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: four times your money. And I want to just kind

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: of hammer this home because I haven't heard anybody else

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: talk about it yet. Watch as Democrats, recognizing that Republicans

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: are willing to stay strong, decide to also cast their

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: lot for some of these nominees. In particular, think about

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the states that Trump won. There are a lot of

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Democrat senators in those states. Fetterman, Michigan has two Democrat senators,

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Wisconsin has one, and Georgia has two, which is crazy.

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Arizona has two. Now Nevada has two that's a lot

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: of targets out there in states that Trump won where

22
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: there are Democrat senators that I think as soon as

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: one of them says, hey, I'm voting, there will be

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: others jump on board. So what I would say to

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: anybody out there in the Republican Senate team is they're

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: looking for one of you to break. But if you

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: actually all stand strong and vote uniformly for the Trump nominees,

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I think every one of them will have at least

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: one Democrat senator that comes on board and votes as well,

30
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: so that they can claim they're bipartisan, and also to

31
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: be fair, so they can set the president, which is

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: what I think the president should be. That, by and large,

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: when you win an election, particularly when you win the

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: popular vote and all fifty states move in your direction,

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: has happened with Donald Trump, you should get the right

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: to pick the guys and gals you want in your cabinet.

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: Well, Clay Elizabeth Warren, whose integrity has been a laugh

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: line for a long time, formerly known as Pocahontas by

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: Donald Trump himself. Remember when Trump was president, he actually

40
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: called their Pocahontas.

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: That's the best nickname he's ever given. And there are

42
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: some good ones. Pocahontas for Elizabeth Warren is the best ever.

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: But Elizabeth Warren had a little exchange here just now

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: during the hearing with Pete Hexat. This is twenty eight.

45
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: I want you to hear this one. Play it now.

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: Mister Hackstath, you've written that after they retire, general should

47
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: be banned from working for the defense industry for ten years.

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: You put your money where your mouth is and agree

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 3: that when you leave this job, you will not work

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: for the defense industry for ten years.

51
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: Senator, It's not even a question I've thought about, because

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: it's not all right now.

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: It's not one my motivation for this job.

54
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: I understand that time is short.

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: I just need a yes or no. I would consult

56
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 5: with the President about what the policy.

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: In other words, you're quite sure that every general who

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: serves should not go directly into the defense industry for

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.

60
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: I'm not a general, Senator, You'll.

61
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: Be the one. Let us just be clear in charge

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: of the generals. So you're saying sauce for the goose,

63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: but certainly not sauce for the gander.

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 5: I would want to see what the policy that.

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: It reminds me of pow Wow Chow, where she got

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: into sauce for the goose and sauce for the gander

67
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: by stealing Native American recipes and putting it in a

68
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: cook book if you recall, called pow Wow Chow, Yes,

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: which is a that's you're not even making a joke

70
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: for people who don't realize the Native American cookbook was

71
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: called pow Wow Chow. And I mean it is the

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: Senator not only that buck, she got her entire career

73
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: because she claimed that she was Native American, and when

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: people criticized her, she said, have you seen my high cheekbones?

75
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, this chick is crazy in many ways,

76
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: somewhat smart, but on that on that front, I actually

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: think Pete doesn't need to do that. Right. Pete gave

78
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: up and he probably won't say it because I think

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: it pointing out how much money he was making in

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: his mind might not be a way to endear himself

81
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: to people. But let me just tell you this, it's

82
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: public now. Pete was making over two million dollars a

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: year to do television for Fox News two point three million.

84
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: I think he's leaving a two point three million dollar

85
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: a year job to take one that pays I don't know,

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty two hundred and eighty thousand dollars.

87
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: So he's losing ninety percent of his salary to go

88
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: take this job. In theory, that means he's giving up

89
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: if he does this job for four years, around eight

90
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: nine million dollars in family income. He's got six seven kids,

91
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I think. So my point on that is, I think

92
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Pete's responds to Elizabeth Warren. Actually, she's trying to accuse

93
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: him of enriching himself. That's the line of attack that

94
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: she's using. He's trying to accuse him of enriching himself

95
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: based on the job that he's taking. He's actually taking

96
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: a ninety percent pay cut. And so if I were him,

97
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: that was a funny response. I'm not a general or whatever.

98
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: But the one thing you can't accuse him of is

99
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: doing this to make more money, because he's directly giving

100
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: up millions of dollars potentially ten million dollars to over

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: four years to take a job that pays a fraction

102
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: of that nine million dollars less. I don't know how

103
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: many people out there that are listening to us right now.

104
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: You may love America. A lot of people wouldn't give

105
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: up ninety percent of their salary to go serve for

106
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the United States. So it's not only that Elizabeth Warren

107
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: is not being honest in her attack, it's that she's

108
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: accusing him of doing the exact opposite of what he's

109
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: actually doing.

110
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: She also got feisty with him over the women in

111
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: the military issue. We'll bring you that clip here momentarily,

112
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: but this question.

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: For you, Buck on the women in the military thing.

114
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: How is it controversial to say that if you're going

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: to be in combat, you should have to pass the

116
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: exact same physical standards as everyone else who's in combat.

117
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't seem remotely controversial to me.

118
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: It's the same cognitive dissonance that exists when you talk

119
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: about DEI and affirmative action and college admissions, which is,

120
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: we're going to have everybody hit the same standards while

121
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: we're changing the standards for certain people to come in

122
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: like they say it and then they change it. It

123
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: is absolutely the case that when they've looked at infantry

124
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: combat readiness in mixed meaning you know, multiple gender or

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: two gender, sorry, multiple gender two gender units versus all

126
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: male units, that it absolutely hurts combat readiness overall for

127
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: the unit, and that it also that women can't compete

128
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: at the same level of doing things that guys who

129
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: are in the Marines and the army rangers and these things.

130
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem remotely controversy, Like, I don't even understand

131
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: how this is controversial.

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: It's controversial because people live in a fantasy land and

133
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: they watch a lot of these you know, these like

134
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: CSI shows or something where some one hundred and thirty

135
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: pounds you know, former lingerie model is like flipping guys

136
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: over her shoulder and throwing karate chops at five guys

137
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: in a time. I'm you know, we're like big, burly

138
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: guys and they're getting thorn around. That's not how it

139
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: goes in the real world. I'm amazed at how many

140
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: people are like, but she studied jiu jitsu. I'm like, yeah,

141
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: if she studied jiu jitsu and she weighs one hundred

142
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: and thirty pounds, a two hundred pound guy is going

143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: to maul this person, Okay, they have no chance. And

144
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: the reality is that this is something you see playing

145
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: out in physically demanding combat roles as well. I mean

146
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: people will say, oh, well, what about pilots. Okay, pilots

147
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: are different. Okay, you know, vehicle driving, it is a

148
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: different skill set. But if you're talking about being able

149
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: to carry heavy pack, move quickly, take in coming fire,

150
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: return in coming fire, women are not able to compete at.

151
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: The same By the way, this isn't just my theory.

152
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: The Pentagon has done huge studies on it in the

153
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: Obama administration and it was disastrous in terms of the

154
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: change in readiness that having mixed gender combat units resulted in.

155
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is just where I come

156
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: from the world of sports. Women can't compete at the

157
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: highest level of any men's sport. That's not because I'm sexist.

158
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: That's because biology is real. So if the standards are set,

159
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: and they should be high. To me, if you're going

160
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: to be in a combat role, because it's not only

161
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: your ability to defend yourself, it's also somebody else has

162
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: to have you have to have their back. I can't

163
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: believe that this is the line of attack that we

164
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: need that Pete Hegseth saying, hey, we need high standards

165
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: for physical combat and everybody should have to meet them

166
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: is in some way seen as an attack on women.

167
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, men have the ability to kick ass at

168
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: a level that women don't. That doesn't mean that some

169
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: tiny percentage of women might not be able to kick

170
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: the ass of some tiny percentage of men.

171
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: That certainly can occur, but the standard has to be

172
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: really high, that doesn't That seems crazy to me to

173
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: argue otherwise.

174
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: Well, what ends up happening is that the people who

175
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: want this because they believe in a radical gender equality,

176
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: which is part of a whole broader philosophy of the

177
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: left Democrats. But what they always say is, oh, no,

178
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 2: we'll keep the standard the same, And then the standard

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: is immediately when they start having women in these world

180
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: they change the standard. And then they say, how dare

181
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: you say that we shouldn't have different standards, Like it's

182
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 2: just the same gas lighting, the same routine every time

183
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: they go through this, and people are just sick of it,

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: so they go, no, like, we don't trust that you're

185
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: not going to change the standards. You know, there's a

186
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: reason why you know, a woman has never become a

187
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: Navy seal despite it to me more movie, you know,

188
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, whatever, there are reasons for this stuff.

189
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: I would just also point out how many of these

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: quote unquote liberal women take it outside of the world

191
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: of military right now, But what's going on? Producer Alley

192
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: just pointed out with firefighters in LA, if your house

193
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: is burning and your kids are trapped inside, how many

194
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: liberal women want one hundred and twenty pound women showing

195
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: up to try to rescue their family as firefighters versus

196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty pound jacked bad as dudes.

197
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like a tough call to me.

198
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: Look, a lot of a lot of cops will tell you,

199
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: and that you know, this gets very testy with some people,

200
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: and some people listening might a little testy. But I

201
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: worked with a lot of cops, as you all know.

202
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: In the NYPD. I worked with the most seasoned detectives

203
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: in the entire NYPD and the Intel Division. And when

204
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: you got to wrestle a you know, cartel member to

205
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: the ground who's got a few bodies in his body count,

206
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: you know it was a really dangerous individual. Not a

207
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: lot of women get that job done for law enforcement

208
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: as well as the you know guys you have in

209
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: US marshals, et cetera. It's just this is just reality.

210
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: But people don't like reality, which is why they also clay.

211
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: Do you remember it wasn't long ago, noted scientists Neil

212
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 2: deGrasse Tyson, noted astrophysicist refuse to admit that men have

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: a physical and strength and speed advantage over women.

214
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: On the Bill, Marshaw would not say it, would not

215
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: say it. Of the only sports site in America that

216
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: will say men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women

217
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: is OutKick. I mean again, I'm not trying to insult

218
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: female athletes. Ever when I say this, they're in the

219
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: top one percent. The top one percent of female athletes

220
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: are nowhere near the top one percent of male athletes.

221
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't overlap. Some women are better at basketball than

222
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: some men. Some of you listening right now could beat

223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: your husband's one on one in basketball. That doesn't mean

224
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: that the best women are able to compete against the

225
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: best men. It's just it's crazy, and you know, one

226
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: of the things that's gone to most megaviral. I think

227
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: this is one reason why eighteen to twenty nine year

228
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: old boys, I say boys, young men are voting so

229
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly towards towards Trump. Is they see the BS. You know,

230
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: one of the things that went most viral that I've

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: done in the last couple of years, Buck was when

232
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: I offered a million dollars to the WNBA champion team

233
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: to compete against the high school boys team state champion

234
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: team of my choice million dollar channel, and straight up

235
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do it. Six million people watch that on

236
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: TikTok because a lot of boys are out there, young kids,

237
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: like this is crazy. They're being sold bs things that

238
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: they know are not true. It's a difference between Hey,

239
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: we're going to treat men and women equally and men

240
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: and women are equal talent in all facets of life.

241
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: That just isn't true. You know, investing in gold this

242
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: past year would have been a smart decision. It was

243
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: up about thirty percent in value. People invest in gold

244
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons, but the leading one being

245
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: that gold is a way to hold the value of

246
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: your savings and four to one K accounts over the

247
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: long term. When those accounts are all cash, they lose

248
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: value as the dollar goes down due to inflation. Amy

249
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: and our audience benefited from the rising value of gold

250
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: investing last year with the help of Birch Gold Group.

251
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: She wrote to us saying her experience with Birch Gold

252
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Amy had been considering buying precious metals with

253
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: uninvested funds sitting in an account with an old four

254
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: oh one k rollover, but she didn't know how. She

255
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: heard us talking about Birch Gold Group and texted the

256
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: number that we provide here on the show ninety eight,

260
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: consider her goals, and she was impressed with his knowledge

261
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: and ability to explain it all to a layperson with

00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: We just had.

272
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: Senator Caine, Remember him, He was going to be Hillary's

273
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: vice president? Remember that that didn't go over so well.

274
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Who is going to have a more distinguished career after

275
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Walls who would have been Kamala's VP, Or Tim Kaine,

276
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: who would have been Hillary's VP. Like, people just completely

277
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: have forgotten about Tim Kane. But at least he had

278
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: the Senate seat to go back to. Walls is in

279
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: his second term as Minnesota governor. Does he have any

280
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: political future at all? No, but he can pursue his

281
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: lifelong dream of Broadway and I think that, you know,

282
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: spirit fingers dancing man. Maybe he can be a rocket

283
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: he liked to kick the legs up. Maybe he can

284
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: get in the rockets in the Christmas Spectacular, which I'm

285
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: told is told is a fantastic show.

286
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't ever been Tim Kaine. No, Tim

287
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: thinks he's got the legs for it, So why not,

288
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? He could be up there

289
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: with the rockets.

290
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: You never know. So we have Tim Kaine.

291
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: I suppose to Tim Walls, who I think was a

292
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: actually ended up being a pretty serious drag on the

293
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: Kamala ticket. But Tim Walls, Tim Kaine, Tim Kaine went

294
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: after Pete Hegseth just now. And this is a reminder

295
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: that even though I think there's no chance, I shouldn't

296
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: say no chance, there's a very low chance they're gonna

297
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: be they're gonna block Pete's nomination because they need a

298
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: Republican to go along. I think it's very unlikely, but

299
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: they like to get their sound bites, and this is well,

300
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: let's hear what it turned into and how Pete handled this.

301
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: But Tim Kaine getting a little a little nasty up

302
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: there on Capitol Hill.

303
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

304
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 8: You had sex, well, you were married to wife two

305
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 8: after you just had fathered a child.

306
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: By wife's three.

307
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 8: You've admitted that now if it had been a sexual assault,

308
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 8: that would be disqualifying to be Secretary Defense, wouldn't it.

309
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 6: I it's a false claim.

310
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: Then, in a false claim, now.

311
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 8: If it had been a sexual assault, that would be

312
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 8: disqualified to be a Secretary of Defense, wouldn't it?

313
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 5: That was a false claim. So you talking about a hypothetical.

314
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 8: I assume that in each of your weddings you've pledged

315
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 8: to be faithful to your wife.

316
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 5: You've taken an oath to do that, haven't.

317
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 4: You, Senator As I've acknowledged to everyone in this committee

318
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: not a perfect person, not claiming to.

319
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 5: But you No.

320
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 6: I just asked a simple question.

321
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 8: You've taken an oath like you would take an oath

322
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 8: to be Secregary Defense and all of your weddings to

323
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 8: be faithful to your wife.

324
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: Is that correct?

325
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully

326
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 4: I'm redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

327
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 8: And did you ever engage in any acts of physical

328
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 8: violence against any of your wives?

329
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 5: Senator? Absolutely not?

330
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 8: So you would agree with me that if someone had

331
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 8: committed physical violence against the spouse, that would be disqualifying

332
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 8: to serve as Secretary of Defense.

333
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 5: Correct, Senator? Absolutely not? Have I ever done that?

334
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: Wow? I mean so, I said to politics of personal destruction.

335
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: This was prior to Tim Kaine, Senator from Virginia, going

336
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: in on Pete Hesath over his past marital issues. And

337
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: the question about hitting a wife is so specific, you know,

338
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: I I. I just it's it's an odd angle to

339
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: go after when there has been no suggestion that it's occurred.

340
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: It's the classic thing though, it's the when did you

341
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: stop beating your wife?

342
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Question? In essence, I mean it's the it's.

343
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: To bring up the notion of somebody being a wife

344
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: abuser or physically a wife beater, and and then just

345
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: just bring it up so that you've tainted the person

346
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: that you're having the conversation with.

347
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 9: Uh.

348
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have guessed that Tim Kaine would go this route,

349
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 2: but I suppose he thinks that this is his opportunity

350
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: to show that he is just protesting against all things

351
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: Trump and Trump's nominees in some ways. Uh, you know,

352
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: the things that that are brought up here. I think

353
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 2: it's interesting Democrats, So now now are Democrats of the

354
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: mind that marital issues, marital problems put aside the violence,

355
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: which was a total that was a total kind of

356
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: backhanded smear effort. The party of Bill Clinton, I would think,

357
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: is generally not going to be the party that is

358
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: pointing fingers about how things go during one's marriage.

359
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: But right now they got nothing, and so they're going

360
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: to go out about even leave aside Clinton. Buck What

361
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: about what we just saw of Kamala Harris's husband, No

362
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: questions by and large from the media at all. I mean,

363
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: her husband, Doug Imhoff, in his mid forties, was accused

364
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: of pretty clearly slapping the crap out of a girlfriend

365
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: outside of a fancy party, and there were witnesses and

366
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: all these different aspects of it. To my knowledge, Doug

367
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: Imhoff was never even asked about it in any interview,

368
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: and Tim Kaine went out on the road and campaigned

369
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: with m Hoff. So what is his stand, wondered for

370
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: what sort of job you can have based on past behavior?

371
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Not to mention, Doug Imhoff got his nanny pregnant kind

372
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: of a big no no, just kind of tossing it

373
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: out there. Hey, don't get the nanny pregnant is kind

374
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: of a big, big deal for most of.

375
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: An employee who lives or at least partially lives in

376
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: your home and is dependent on you for a paycheck

377
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: and is around your wife and your family regularly. I mean, look,

378
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 2: I don't think that Schwarzenegger honestly ever really recovered from

379
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: that whole thing either in the public eye. There's something

380
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: particularly uh yucky about his marriage pregnant nanny. He got

381
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: his nanny pregnant, and then Kamala Harris married him, and

382
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: he also, according to credible sources, slapped the crap out

383
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: of a woman in his mid forties and people say, Okay,

384
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: why are you talking about mid forties. We're not talking

385
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 2: about the first time the guy got a beer when

386
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: he was eighteen and did something stupid. When you're in

387
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: your mid forties, like you're a grown man, Like you're

388
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: not slapp And I would say this, you're not slapping

389
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: a woman for the first time in your mid forties.

390
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't think that happens very often. So my point

391
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: on this is Tim Kaine campaigned with Doug Immahoff in

392
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: this most recent presidential election, and now he's out on

393
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: the in the Senate deciding that this is an unacceptable

394
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: past behavior when he's had no issue with it in

395
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: the past. Mark Wayne Mullen now steps in Republican Mark

396
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 2: Wayne Ullen, this is cut thirty two. He is not

397
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: having it. When it comes to the way the Democrats

398
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: are going after Pete on this one play it.

399
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 10: The senator for for Genius starts bringing up the fact

400
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 10: that what if you showed up drunk to your job?

401
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 10: How many Senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?

402
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 10: Have any of you guys asked him to step down

403
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 10: and resign for their job? And don't tell me you

404
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 10: haven't seen it because I know you have. And then

405
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 10: how many senators do you know have got a divorce

406
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 10: before cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to

407
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 10: step down?

408
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 4: No?

409
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 6: But it's for show, you guys.

410
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 10: Make sure you make a big show and point out

411
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 10: the hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake and you

412
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 10: want to sit there and say that he's not qualified.

413
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: Give me a joke.

414
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 10: It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as

415
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 10: this higher standard. You forget you got a big plank

416
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 10: in your on.

417
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: Congress being the arbiter of marital fidelity is that's a

418
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: tough one for a lot of people.

419
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: A lot of people are laughing about that. Also alcohol,

420
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: I mean, are we really going to pretend that a

421
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: lot of senators and a lot of congressmen and women

422
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: don't engage in drinking a lot while they are serving

423
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: in the Capitol? I mean buck Back in the day,

424
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: and maybe it's changed, it was not uncommon for congressional

425
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: offices to roll in kegs and have parties in the

426
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: congressional office with alcohol there. Maybe they have stopped that.

427
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: I can only speak to it because I worked on

428
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill for multiple years and that was a standard

429
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: thing you would invite other offices over. You would have

430
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: a couple of kegs. Everybody would have drinks on a Friday.

431
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't allow that anymore, but I knew that

432
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: heg Seth was likely to be confirmed. When they went

433
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: they stopped the attacks over woman related issues and instead

434
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: moved it entirely to oh, he drinks too much, and

435
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: that in and of itself. I was like, well, the

436
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: first attack didn't land. When suddenly you're pivoting and saying

437
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: and now they've got alcohol. There are a lot of senators.

438
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: Remember Ted Kennedy, didn't Ted Kennedy drink like a fish?

439
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: I bet there are a bunch of senators Kennedy let.

440
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: A woman drown that back of his car and created

441
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: some fake alibi.

442
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, But I mean.

443
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: And the lion of the Senate, you know, Ted Kennedy.

444
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: This is they the Democrats playing the moral card. Really,

445
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: like ever with anyone, is too much for those of

446
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 2: us with with a knowledge of a basic knowledge of

447
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: recent history to to bear. I think, and and I

448
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: think that the going after Pete on this stuff, you know,

449
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: going after Pete on this stuff, I think is also

450
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: indicative of the fact that they know that on sort

451
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: of skill set background, uh, he's going to do well

452
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: under questioning. So they're just trying to get him, you know,

453
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: hot under the collar. They're trying to just get him

454
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 2: a little a little fired up and maybe be intemperate

455
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: or something. But I still feel strongly that he's he's

456
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: going to get through.

457
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: I also, again, these hearings, it's all for show. But

458
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: Mark way Mullen is making a really good point on

459
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: the If you're gonna say that Hegseth is unqualified because

460
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: of marital issues and alcohol, seventy five percent of all

461
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: congressmen and women would have to step down as well.

462
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: So what is the standard that they're trying to bring

463
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: to bear here as it pertains to what in your

464
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: past justifies or doesn't justify your ability to be a

465
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense or someone else in the cabinet. And

466
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: we just elected Trump who's on his third wife, I believe,

467
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: so the whole argument of morality doesn't really seem And

468
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: you're right about Bill Clinton, but also Bill Clinton's overall

469
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: approval ratings went up during the impeachment issues associated with

470
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky. So the general public has been voting I

471
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: think pretty consistently for a quarter century now that they

472
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: really just care about the competence of the individuals and

473
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: maybe sadly just assume that all politicians morally are full

474
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: of it and have moved on from the idea being, oh,

475
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: politicians are sort of these moral arbiters or sort in

476
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: role models for the general public.

477
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: Look, do do we want someone to do the job

478
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: or are we picking somebody who is a a you know,

479
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: role model for people to try to aspire to be like.

480
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: I think we've moved away. And maybe people don't like

481
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 2: this and disagree with that, but I think that we've

482
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: we've very clearly moved away from a world of anybody

483
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: who has a public job is supposed to be a

484
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: personal role model. Yeah, there are limits, right, you don't

485
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: want somebody who's like a heinous criminal. But I think

486
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: that we've seen people decide that this is not it's

487
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: just not what it used to be or what. But

488
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: I also think that before to the point you were making,

489
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: didn't didn't JFK. JFK had an affair with an intern

490
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: who was like.

491
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: H slept with everybody with a pulse in the White House.

492
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: I mean, so the actual president and even you know,

493
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: like a college freshman or something he was. You know,

494
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: that's correct, you know, like go back in time look

495
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: at all these guys and the stuff that they were doing.

496
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. At the history Camelot, you

497
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: can mispronounce that. That may make more sense if you

498
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: actually go and uh and and and look at history.

499
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding when I say for people out there

500
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: who will remember this, everything changed with Gary Hart. I

501
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: think it was like nineteen eighty four in that in

502
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: that Gary Hart catch, suddenly everything that you had done

503
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: in your personal life became a version of what kind

504
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: of leader you were going to be. And it wasn't

505
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: the case for all of American history until like nineteen

506
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: eighty four, and then from nineteen eighty four to I

507
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: would argue up through me too, that is a totally

508
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: different stand I remember this at all. By the way,

509
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Gary Hart, you don't remember this monkey business story got up.

510
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: I bet some of our audience will remember it. But

511
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: that to me was a clear line of demarcation where

512
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: things changed in terms of, hey, your private life is

513
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: fair game.

514
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: Because it was generally a lot of demarcation. How many

515
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: people even remember this. I think very few people remember this,

516
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: this Gary Hart moment. Oh, putting phone lines. Buck has

517
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: just stepped in it. I think almost everybody out there

518
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: listening to us, who is old, now, I'll be fair,

519
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: who is older than fifty knows very well this Gary

520
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: Hart story. Gary Hart, by the way, I don't know it,

521
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: but I don't think it was some sea change moment

522
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: in America.

523
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it was. He was the front runner

524
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: for the eighty eight eight Democrat nomination, so not eighty

525
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: four eighty eight. Then they went into his background, found

526
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: out that he was cheating and having like all that

527
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: monkey business. He was on a boat called monkey business.

528
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: And since that, which is very funny, since that time,

529
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: he also basically dared the reporters, hey, I've never done anything,

530
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: and they caught him take phone call. See if anybody

531
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: else remembers this. You're never too.

Speaker 2: So the wildfires in Los Angeles continue on and they

554
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: pose an ongoing threat to the communities there. The damage,

555
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: the devastation, it is just stunning.

556
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: It is horrific death toll.

557
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: Last I saw it was at twenty four, although officials

558
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: think it's going to go higher. They're looking for bodies

559
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: in some neighborhoods. There's been some progress with some of

560
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: the blazes, but there's still the possibility that there could

561
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: be more spread. To me, Clay, you know, I remember

562
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: the first time I really spent any real time in

563
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: LA back in the early two thousands, and I drove

564
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: down the Pacific Coast Highway and I remember just thinking

565
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: that Malibu and that area was just the most just

566
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: one of the most incredible parts of the entire country.

567
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: It's one of the reasons why it's among the most

568
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: expensive real estate in the whole country. To see just

569
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: the charred wreckage of those beach houses, I mean, these

570
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: are beach houses. These are ten million dollar homes, a

571
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: lot of them. So I'm a lot more And that's

572
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: just one visual that I have. I mean, I've been

573
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have to have been along that corridor

574
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: and seen these houses that are right on the ocean there,

575
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: and it's crazy to see what's gone on there is now.

576
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: I think no question that the response has been completely unacceptable,

577
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: meaning the ability to contain this it's not anywhere near

578
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: what it should have been. The La Times owner, doctor

579
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Soon Shong has come out and said that it

580
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: was a mistake for his paper to endorse mayor Karen bass.

581
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this play cut nine.

582
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 11: We'll accept Tom Blaine, right, so at the LA Times

583
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 11: we endorse Karen Bass. I think right now in front,

584
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 11: that's a mistake and we admit that. So I thought

585
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 11: it was very early important, early on for me to

586
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 11: come out, and I think we were one of the

587
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 11: few to say competence matters and goodlie. But maybe twenty

588
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 11: twenty three million views to show how that was really

589
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 11: due to the heart of most people, whether you right

590
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 11: or left. And it's the interesting thing is that maybe

591
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 11: we should think about how we elect people on the

592
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 11: basis of did they actually run a job, did they

593
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 11: actually make a payroll? Do they understand what it is

594
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 11: other than having professional politicians whose only job is ready

595
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: to run for office.

596
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: Clay everything he said, yeah, seems seems very suddenly, very

597
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: very reasonable on this. But I would I would just

598
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: remind everyone that when you're talking about a job like

599
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: a mayor, it's true of a lot of public leadership jobs,

600
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: it's not a big deal until it is. It's not

601
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: a challenge until something comes up. Right, you can show

602
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: up as the mayor of name a major city and

603
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: on most days your staff is telling you what to do,

604
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: and you know you're signing things. I mean, you know

605
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: the actual mechanics of the job. You're not out there

606
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: in the bearing straight trying to get you know, trying

607
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: to stay on the ship and make sure you're gonna

608
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: get blown over by a wave or something like. It's

609
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 2: not that hard of a job, is my point. In

610
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: the crisis, though you see one's ability or lack thereof,

611
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: it's when you're tested, and this mayor of Los Angeles,

612
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: Karen Bass, has been tested and found insufficient in her skills. Well,

613
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: I think what it really brings home is DEI is

614
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: a luxury that doesn't matter at all when it comes

615
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: to actual competence. And to your point that a lot

616
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: of these jobs take care of themselves and so you

617
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: can have a figurehead leader who makes people feel good.

618
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: Oh look, it's the first gay trans mayor, Hey, yay,

619
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: But none of that matters when push comes to shove

620
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: and there's actual, real competence required.

621
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: And I saw I don't know if you saw this.

622
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts who is a super left winger, was at

623
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden La fundraiser where people said Biden was

624
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: basically comatose, like unable to do the job. And she said,

625
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: now FU to looters out there. Interesting suddenly now looting,

626
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: as I saw Matt Walsh tweet, I think it's a

627
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: good point, Matt Walsh Daily Wire. For a long time

628
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: we heard looting was the voice of the dispossessed, right,

629
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: that was how they defend unheard. I think the voice

630
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: of the unheard, the voice of the unheard, that's what

631
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: looting was. That's what they told this all as BLM

632
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: protests took place all over the country. So are the

633
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: voices now not worthy of being heard? It's interesting when

634
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: you actually deal with it, how your perspective changed. And

635
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: I saw this from David Spade, the comedian. I believe

636
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: we have this audio. David Spade said, Hey, he's putting

637
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: a bounty out if you catch somebody trying to set fires,

638
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: he'll give you five thousand dollars. This is video. Did

639
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: you see this? This is David Spade. Hollywood comedian Julia

640
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: Roberts is saying fu. Big time donor and fundraiser for

641
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Democrat to looters, and now David Spade is saying, hey,

642
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: if you catch somebody trying to set fires, I'll give

643
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: you five k Listen.

644
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 12: Hey, I'm out in California and people are saying, there's

645
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 12: guys lighting fire out there.

646
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 6: Make this course.

647
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 12: They just caught somebody. We're pretty sure it was lighting

648
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 12: fires walking on the blowtorch.

649
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: They let them go.

650
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 12: So if you can find someone lighting a fire, and

651
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 12: you catch somebody and you can get the cops to

652
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 12: bust him and throw them in jail, give you five

653
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 12: thousand bucks. So keep your eyes peeled and do what

654
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 12: you can out there. Don't fake it though, no staging.

655
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: Let me know, I buck this is a red pilled

656
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: moment for a lot of Los Angelinos. I think now

657
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: David Spade has been I think a more moderate guy

658
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: that politician gen x Era is less likely to be

659
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: as a crazy left wing But I do think it's interesting. Well,

660
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you this.

661
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: In New York you have had a few things that

662
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: have always made it feel like public safety was a

663
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: little bit more of a it affects everybody thing than

664
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: you do in a place like Los Angeles. What I

665
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: mean is if you take the subway, you take the

666
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: subway right, it doesn't matter where you live, and if

667
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: the subway is unsafe, people pay attention. There is certainly

668
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: a perception and my friends, my Los Angeles based friends,

669
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 2: have spoken me about this many times in the past,

670
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: where if you live in Brentwood, if you live in

671
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, you're living in a rarefied existence that allows

672
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: you to separate yourself from the realities of more interior

673
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. God, I think that's right wherever the and

674
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: so you can have these luxury beliefs and you're just

675
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: getting into your Mercedes or your poorche or whatever, and

676
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: you're going to friends' houses in Malibu the boo. You know,

677
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: you're not dealing with the degeneracy that maybe is on

678
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 2: the streets of Hollywood Boulevard the same way. This now

679
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: is a moment where the crappy leadership of Los Angeles

680
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: as a city in Los Angeles County is affecting the

681
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: people that live in the the some cases truly gated communities,

682
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: but the proverbial gated community, right, I mean, they always

683
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: felt safe behind their high walls and their fancy neighborhoods. Well,

684
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 2: maybe they're relatively safe from crime. Still, they weren't safe

685
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: from these fires. So it has been made real for

686
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: them in a way that I think is pushing the

687
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 2: recognition of politics now.

688
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: I think that's a really good point for people who

689
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: have spent time in New York City and in La La.

690
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: You have the ability to have a multi acre estate

691
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: with a gated community in West LA to a large extent,

692
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: or in the beachside communities, and you can really isolate

693
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: yourself from actual danger to a large extent in La.

694
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: I was in West LA, have spent probably years of

695
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: my life almost now in West LA. I've never felt

696
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: remotely endangered in West LA. To your point, Buck, New York,

697
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: everybody is right on top of everybody else, and it

698
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: feels much more like a place where danger could erupt

699
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: in a way that La does not, if that makes sense.

700
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: And what now is happening is all of these people,

701
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: legitimately from their gated mansions and their exclusive, wealthy enclaves,

702
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: are suddenly dealing with a level of crime that they've

703
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: never anticipated before. People, by and large, we're not engaging

704
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: in violent behavior in Pacific palisades, ever, and so you

705
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: could look back and you could say, oh, well, that's

706
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: not really the part of LA that I'm concerned about.

707
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: The rubber doesn't have to meet the road of your

708
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: political opinions. And suddenly Julia Roberts, when she was I

709
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: bet raising money to bail out people during BLM, is saying, wait,

710
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: f you to all these looters out there.

711
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: And LA is much less a city than a lot

712
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: of other cities are, meaning it's actually a collection. Los

713
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: Angeles is a collection of different cities, all connected via

714
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, highways, really, and you can even see that

715
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: with things like Beverly Hills has its own police department,

716
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You look at some of

717
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: these communities, they have their own police force, they have

718
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: their own you know, set up with that's some of

719
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: the local you know, local politicians and sort of local

720
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: commissions and people who are in charge of stuff. So

721
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 2: it's a place where I think you're able to create.

722
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: Your own little universe.

723
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, if you live in a mansion in Beverly Hills,

724
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: you don't really care what's happening in downtown LA very much,

725
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: or you know, you don't have to deal with it.

726
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 2: It's quite far actually to get there. So this though,

727
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: is a moment where the people who have lived in

728
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: very fa you know, specific Palisades is considered a very desirable,

729
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: very high end area. It's largely gone burned to the ground.

730
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean huge parts of it are gone, and people

731
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: have to turn around and say, hold on a second,

732
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 2: why weren't the proper preparations made. Why are people bleating

733
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: like imbeciles about climate change right now, as if that

734
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: is helpful or has anything to do with anything. So

735
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 2: this is maybe a moment that there'll be some people

736
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: who's lines change. I also wonder how many of them

737
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: will just decide that this is the last straw that

738
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: they They'll decide that they want to sell the land'll

739
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: probably you know, clear the land if they've had a

740
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: home that's burned down, take whatever the insurance money is

741
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: and go elsewhere.

742
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: Some of them will rebuild, I'm sure, but some of

743
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: them won't. I think huge percentages of people will leave

744
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: and take their insurance money and go honestly to red

745
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: states because they're fed up over this. And this to

746
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: your point on the climate change yesterday while you were

747
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: sitting in traffic, that was what I really wanted to

748
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of hammer home because that great editorial laying out

749
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: LA's always had wildfires. We actually managed, thanks to human ingenuity,

750
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: to get to the point where there were almost no

751
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: acres being burned compared to historic norms. And now all

752
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: we've done is basically recreate the same scenarios in situations

753
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: that existed before human ingenuity had driven down the number

754
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: of homes that were going to be destroyed. And because

755
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: of that human ingenuity, I bet a lot of these

756
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: communities are relatively new because they probably didn't want to

757
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: build there historically because they were dangerous relative to the

758
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: wildfire and wildlife surrounding them. There was more danger of

759
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: those areas being burned.

760
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: Did you see the analysis as well that they The

761
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: state of California does not allow risk pricing for insurance

762
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: for fire insurance, which means that there's no disincentive to

763
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: build and to build very extravagantly in these and fire

764
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: prone areas. It also means that there's no insurance pool

765
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: to cover these losses. So then California provides an insurance

766
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: of last resort, and that insurance also does not have

767
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: enough capital to actually cover these losses. So all the

768
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: regulations that they have in place have done is made

769
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: the whole situation worse and also requires the raising of

770
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 2: rates forever who doesn't actually live in as dangerous of

771
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: a place because the insurance company has to get the

772
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: capital to be able to cover the risk, even if

773
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 2: you limit how much they can actually take in risk.

774
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 2: So it's a broken system as much of California systems

775
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: now are. Look, do you have old videotapes, film reels,

776
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 2: photos laying around at home. If you're holding on to

777
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 2: then they must mean something, so take the extra step

778
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: get them digitized to keep them preserved forever.

779
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: That's what Legacy Box does. They're located in Chattanooga, Tennessee,

780
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: my mom's hometown where one half of my family lived

781
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time over the years.

782
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: They now have the largest collection of VCRs probably anywhere

783
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: in the country, and that's because they're constantly digitizing VHS

784
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: tapes and more, whether it was an old kid's first steps, birthdays, weddings, reunions, ballgames,

785
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: just hearing the voices, maybe a family members you've lost.

786
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: Legacy Box will digitally transfer all of that and then

787
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: they give you back all the old tapes, photos, and

788
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: films along with brand new digital files that live on

789
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: in the cloud forever. And that way you can go

800
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: to be joined by our friend, Congressman Jim Jordan here shortly,

801
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: but I wanted to hit you with a couple of things.

802
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: One reports that Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos

803
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: are going to attend the Trump inauguration. That's the head

804
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: of obviously a lot of companies. Elon Meta Facebook, for

805
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg and Bezos founded and run ran for a long

806
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: time Amazon. I think that's significant. I'm not sure that

807
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: Trio has ever been to any political event together. Certainly

808
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: they haven't set together that I'm aware of, so that's interesting.

809
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: But I wanted to play as we wait for Congressman

810
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. Here's something for all of you to enjoy.

811
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: This is the newly elected Senator from Montana, Tim Shehe

812
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: has been on this program several different times with a

813
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: line up questioning that I think you will enjoy. For

814
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: Pete hag Seth earlier, listen.

815
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 6: How many genders are they tough one?

816
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 5: Senator? There are two genders.

817
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 6: I know that well. I'm a Shihi, so I'm on board.

818
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 13: What is the diameter of the rifle round fired out

819
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 13: of an M four A one rifle?

820
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: That's a five five six?

821
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 6: How many push ups can you do?

822
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 5: I did five sets of forty seven this morning.

823
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 6: What do you think our most important strategic basis in

824
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 6: the Pacific?

825
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: In the Pacific Guam is pretty strategically significant.

826
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 13: How many rounds of five to five six can you

827
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 13: fit into the magazine of an M four rifle?

828
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 5: Depends on the magazine, But standard issues thirty.

829
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 13: And what size round is the M nine Bretta standard

830
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 13: issue side aren't for the military fire.

831
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 5: A nine milimeter? Senator?

832
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 13: What kind of batter is you put in your night

833
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 13: vision goggle dura cell. So right there, you're representing qualifications

834
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 13: that show you understand what the warfighter deals with every

835
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 13: single day in the battlefield.

836
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was really interesting, Buck.

837
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, sure, yes, those those questions. I'm not

838
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: surprised Pe got them right. Five sets of forty seven

839
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 2: we talked ress strict. That's pretty good. I gotta say

840
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: forty seven right, but please don't serve it. I can

841
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: do eighty, No, you can't.

842
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: Right, How many can you do push ups right now?

843
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: If you had to drop down in the studio? Good ones?

844
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 3: Uh?

845
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: Chest the deck? Basically definitely thirty five, maybe forty Okay,

846
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: that's solid. I think I can get fifty. I've done

847
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: tried to do this on television before. I think I

848
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: can get fifty right now. I mean, is there money?

849
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: Is there money on this?

850
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: Like, if I'm really motivated, I think I could probably

851
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: squeeze out some. But the thing with pushups is there's

852
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: a lot of people could throw momentum in there and

853
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: they kind of drop down to the deck. You know,

854
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: it's like, are we are we talking strict? We talk

855
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 2: in the real deal.

856
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know that we've ever had a

857
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: defense secretary. What's the math on that? Almost two hundred

858
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: and fifty two thirty five? Is that the math on that?

859
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of a rest he's giving

860
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: himself between the sets of forty seven. I imagine he

861
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: did forty seven in honor of President Trump, although he

862
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't say it. That's my guess as to why he

863
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: did forty seven instead of fifty if I he may

864
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: be the best push up defense secretary that we've ever seen.

865
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: And I do think that those questions. First of all,

866
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: again how many genders there are? That is a callback

867
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: because Katanji Brown Jackson couldn't answer it, and I.

868
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: Think Rumsfeld probably had a lot of old man's strength.

869
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how he could have done though, Yeah,

870
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: Rummy Rummy was kind of a He was kind of

871
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 2: a tough old son of a gun.

872
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: What I like about that line of questioning one is

873
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: it's super fast, But it does demonstrate the narrative that

874
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: Pete Hagseth is sharing, which is that he is an

875
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: expert on knowing what the average officer and average grunt

876
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: is going to actually be. Like we got Congressman Jim

877
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: Jordan with us now a little bit delayed because of voting. Congressman.

878
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this news yet, but

879
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: I was giving you praise earlier for being involved in

880
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: helping to fight censorship. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff

881
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: Bezos reportedly attending the inauguration and sitting together for Trump

882
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: on Monday. Have you heard that? What's your thoughts when

883
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: you hear that? Would you have ever believed it?

884
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 9: No one would have believed that you got to love

885
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 9: this country. But you said this in an interview I

886
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 9: caught Lisa Selgo. By the way, I apologizes for being late,

887
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 9: but it was it was actually a vote to keep

888
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 9: men out of wind in sports on the floor, and

889
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 9: I did not.

890
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: Want what was the result of that vote.

891
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 9: By the way, it's going on as you seek. I

892
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 9: just voted. But we're going to win this thing, and

893
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 9: hopefully we're going to get some Democrats like we did

894
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 9: the Lake and Riley Act last week, who have seen

895
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 9: the light after November fifth, and both about the right way.

896
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 9: But yeah, who would have predicted, you know a few

897
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 9: years ago that Donald trumps RFK Junior, Elon Musk and

898
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 9: Telsey Gabern to be on the same team. Who would

899
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 9: predict that those three people you just described from the

900
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 9: big tech world would be given money to the Trump

901
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 9: inauguration in there? I mean, you just go on, who

902
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 9: would have predicted Mark Zucker but would write me a

903
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 9: letter saying the Biden administration pressured us the censor. We

904
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 9: did it, We're sorry, we won't do it again. I mean,

905
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 9: it's it's unbelievable, but it's because so many of us,

906
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 9: starting with elon President Trump. But when you testified Clay

907
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 9: a couple of years ago not to have the park

908
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 9: and from the committee talking about this, a bunch of

909
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 9: us just dug into this and said, we cannot have

910
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 9: this censorship because if you lose the right to debate,

911
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 9: you have free and fair and open debate, you lose

912
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 9: the First Amendment, you lose Western civilization. And so it

913
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 9: is great to see the turnaround that has taken place

914
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 9: here in the past couple of years.

915
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: How do you think our friend and Pete Hegsath's doing

916
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill so far and his quest to get

917
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: through in the Senate, And you know, I know you're

918
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: not voting on this, but you know how your colleagues

919
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: on the other side of Congress are are probably feeling

920
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,439
Speaker 2: about things these days? And what do you think about

921
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: the rest of the Trump that the top tier of

922
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: Trump nominees. Did you foresee any any real challenges to

923
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 2: get any of them through?

924
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 9: Buck? I think they're all gonna make it. And I

925
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 9: just caught bits and pieces a piece of that meetings

926
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 9: and different things that was working on. But I was

927
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 9: clipping in every one while he seemed confident, he's seemed poised,

928
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 9: and I just thought, I thought he did a tremendous

929
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 9: job what little I was able to catch while it

930
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 9: was on in the office. But I think I think

931
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 9: Pam's gonna make it. I think Todd Blantz is gonna

932
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 9: make it. I think Cashta Telson, I mean, and I

933
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 9: and I think Tulsey's gonna make it. And I certainly

934
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 9: hope Tolsey and are Cage all of them make it

935
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 9: because they're with us on censorship, there with us on

936
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 9: the First Amendment, they're with us on the Phizon the

937
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 9: perform happened to the fize the law. So I'm I

938
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 9: feel good, frankly about all of them, not only the

939
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 9: job they're going to do, but the fact that they're

940
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 9: going to get confirmed by the United States Centers.

941
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: We're talking to Congressman Jim Jordan. How optimistic are you

942
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State it's gonna win on Monday.

943
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 9: I'm pretty darn optimistic. I mean, they just look tough.

944
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 9: And I don't pretend to be a football expert. Although

945
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 9: I always wanted to play middle linebacker for the for

946
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 9: the for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think we've talked about before,

947
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 9: but when you're my size, he had to wrestle. But yeah,

948
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 9: I think I think they've looked just tremendous and I

949
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 9: think they're gonna win. But you gotta love Freeman. You

950
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 9: love what he's on Notre Dame. And he's an Ohio

951
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 9: guy too, So in some ways it's it's it's going

952
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 9: to be a great day for Ohio. J D Vince

953
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 9: and be vice president.

954
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: Do you think he's going to go to both? By

955
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: the way, have you talked to him about whether he's

956
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: going to try to do the inauguration and then hop

957
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: on a plane to go watch the game. I haven't

958
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: heard the latest details. You think he might try that,

959
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: and know he tweeted about it.

960
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 9: I think it would be great he walks into this state.

961
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 9: I think it would be I mean, I don't know

962
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 9: if he will. And you know, there's a bunch of

963
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 9: executive orders that President's going to sign their day, a

964
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 9: bunch of stuff that gets done, and JD obviously is

965
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 9: part of all that too, But I mean, I love

966
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 9: for him to do it. I think it'd be great.

967
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: Congressman Jim Jordan with us now. Congressman, Uh, do you

968
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: do you feel like the the free speech shift from

969
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg and some of these others is a little opportunistic

970
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: or do you think that they really have seen the

971
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 2: light here to the degree that you can parse that out?

972
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 9: Well, I'm you know, I always I guess I'm I

973
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 9: always see the glass pat full, and so I tend

974
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 9: to think it's more the latter. I really do. I'm

975
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 9: actually gonna meet with mister Zuckerberg next next week when

976
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 9: he's in town for the inauguration. But I feel good

977
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 9: about it, and it's all this really started for me.

978
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 9: I had a meeting with Evan Muss about two years

979
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 9: ago and then speak to McCarthy's office. It was the

980
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 9: three of us talking, and I still remember him. This

981
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 9: is right when he bought Twitter, all this stuff coming out,

982
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 9: and and and I could just come she for sure

983
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 9: definitely believes in the First Amendment. And I think, you

984
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 9: know Mark Andrews and and out there talk with him.

985
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 9: I think he understands the importance of the First Amendment.

986
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 9: So I'd like to think it's genuine. Now, look, I

987
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 9: get it, they see what happened on November fifth, they

988
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 9: see the House defendant and the White House all now

989
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 9: in the public opions. So either way, it's good for

990
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 9: the country. But I tend to uh, maybe it's hoped.

991
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 9: Maybe it's just the optimism that I think so many

992
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 9: Americans have. I tend to think it's genuine.

993
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: Jim, do you think we're going to see one huge

994
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: I think it's being called a big, beautiful bill that

995
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: would roll the border issues as well as the tax

996
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: bill and everything else that's trying to be passed. Do

997
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: you think that's going to be one bill? Do you

998
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: have or does the House have a strong opinion on that?

999
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: So far as you can read Speaker Mike Johnson, And

1000
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: what's the timeframe on something like that, if it's truly

1001
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: one big bill? How long does it take to pass?

1002
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 9: Well, I mean the sooner the better, and I'm actually

1003
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,919
Speaker 9: sort of one or two actually posing cons to both.

1004
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 9: What I want to do is I say this all

1005
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 9: the time. I think we make the job to complicated.

1006
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 9: What we tell the voters we're going to do. If

1007
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 9: you get elected, go do what you said. So whether

1008
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 9: that's a two bill strategy or one bill strategy, let's

1009
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 9: just do what we said, what they elected us to do.

1010
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 9: I think there's there's people in the House on both sides.

1011
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 9: The Sendates leans more towards the two bill strategy. I

1012
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 9: think probably slightly more House members lean toward a one

1013
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 9: bill strategy. The presence indicated that that was his preference,

1014
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 9: but I think he too just wants to do We

1015
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 9: got to do with the border, we got to do

1016
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 9: with with energy policy. We've got to make sure the

1017
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 9: tax tax cuts don't expire and then people tax liability

1018
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 9: doesn't go up so that we can get our economy grown.

1019
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 9: So we got to do all these things. The timeline

1020
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 9: is as quick as possible. Frankly, you know, hopefully by

1021
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 9: by easter some of the some of the projections that

1022
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 9: we're here in from from leadership. So let's just get

1023
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 9: done what we said we would do. Whether it's one

1024
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 9: or two, I don't care.

1025
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: One last question for you. You've known Trump for a

1026
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: long time, you were one of his most zealous defenders.

1027
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest difference between Trump one

1028
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: point administration and Trump two point zero administration is going

1029
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:03,959
Speaker 1: to be.

1030
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 9: Well, he knows who the trust in town. You just

1031
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 9: look at who he nominated back in seventeen sixteen and

1032
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 9: seventeen after that election for key positions, much more establishment,

1033
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 9: you know, type of folks versus the people he selected

1034
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 9: for running these key agencies. Now, I think that is

1035
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 9: a that is a huge difference, and I think he

1036
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 9: understands that. You know this, look, this is now legacy,

1037
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 9: this is now history. He's talking about things why the

1038
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 9: day looks so much, But Peo will mention things that

1039
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 9: no one else will mention. Who when he first ran

1040
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 9: in sixteen, he talked about building the wall and everyone's like, oh,

1041
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 9: can you really talk about that? Yes you can, and

1042
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 9: it was the right move. And then last week at

1043
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 9: that press conference when he's talking about the Panama Canal

1044
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 9: in Greenland, people are like, well, but that is President Trump.

1045
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,479
Speaker 9: He is focused on one thing, making America great again,

1046
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 9: doing what he told the people he was going to

1047
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 9: do who elected him in this land flid on November fifth,

1048
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 9: and he knows the kind of people he needs in

1049
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 9: agencies to get that done, and that's why he's picking

1050
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 9: good people like Peak Peg Cash to Tael, Pam Bondi,

1051
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 9: Todd Blanch, I mean people who run these agencies the

1052
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 9: way they need to be run.

1053
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: Jim, we'll do up this weekend again, thank you for

1054
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,120
