Speaker 1: and Buck podcast, and it starts now, you.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Know, it's been a pretty heavy week and things are

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: getting a little tense out there with the news cycle

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: so focused on politics, and you know, Kamala wins at

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: maybe the end of the republic and the greatest experiment

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: in human freedom in history. But you know what I mean, like,

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna keep fighting and we're gonna keep our heads high.

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: We're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna stay positive no matter

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: what I do think Trump's gonna win. But put that

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: aside for a second, put aside the partisan stuff for

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: a second year. To send you off into the weekend

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: with some positive vibes. As the gen Z would say,

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Actor Kirk Cameron is with us now. He's here to

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: uplift us, inspire us. He's got a new book, Born

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: to Be Brave, How to be part of America's spiritual comeback. Kirk,

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: take it away, man, make everybody feel like it's all

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: gonna be all right.

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: Sir, What a boy.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: I'm I'm sorry, glad, I'm glad I came in right now.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 4: It actually is the most exciting time I can think

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 4: of to be alive in the last hundred years. I mean,

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 4: the darkness is so it is so opaque that light

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: is so easy to see. All people have to do

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 4: is turn it on. And I'm telling you honestly and

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: truly with all of my heart. As I travel the

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: country and I'm reading books of virtue and character to

28
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: children at public libraries, contra drag queens, story hours and

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: political corruption and economic collapse and moral sewage, I'm finding

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: thousands and thousands of parents and grandparents and kids coming

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: out of the woodwork to be a part of a

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: movement that will amplify light and light some brush fires

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: of freedom and virtue and fan them to spread them

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: like wildfire across the country. People are waking up. I

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: feel the rumblings of a great awakening, and I can't

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: wait to see what's going to happen over the next

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: couple of years.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: I love the husiasm, Kirk.

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: I just saw it, not pie in the sky by

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: and by optimism. This is steak on the plate, reality

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: that I see and that I believe with all of

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: my heart.

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, Clay speaking a steak on the plate, But it wasn't.

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: I was just wanting you No, I know, I've just

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: got to buy clay expensive steak soon in like a week.

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 5: That's what that would make.

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: The board decision that he thought Joe Biden was going

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: to stay in the race, and I said, of course not,

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: He's going to drop out. But Kirk, I saw you.

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: What night was it? Monday night at the Ami Racist

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 3: premiere for Matt Walsh's new film. And you have now

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: moved to my hometown of Nashville. Welcome, It's all you

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: had to add New Tennesseeans. But I want to also

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: congratulate you. You have six kids of your own, but

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: you just became a grandfather. Yes, what is the experience

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: like you obviously have had a bunch of kids already.

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: What does it feel like to be a grandfather. It's thrilling,

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: it's exciting. It's it's an exciting experience to have kids.

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: Now when you when you have a grandfather, it's it's

60
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: definitely next level. I've heard that my whole life, and

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: now I'm experiencing it. I mean, she's got cheeks for weeks.

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 4: She's already a Bills fan, She's part of the mafia.

63
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: She was stressed out before the game. The other day

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 4: and she just crashed when the whole thing was done.

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: We are loving being grandparents. My wife and I are

66
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: just just over the moon.

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: It is super cool and welcome. Like I said to Nashville,

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: tell us about this book. So you have written a

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: bunch of children's books now for people out there who

70
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: have been grew up basically watching you. Now you've gone

71
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: from I would say teen idol on Growing Pains to

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: now a grandpa. What has that trajectory of your life

73
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: been like and at what point did you decide, Hey,

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: I really want to kind of focus on telling stories

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: to younger kids.

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so, I'm so excited that I made it

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: this far. I'm now a grandfather. You know, I didn't

78
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: pass away in my youth like a like a like

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: a teenage actor who just got so strung out on

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: which happens.

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: Honestly, there's not very many that grow up, have six kids,

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: have one wife and become a grandkid who were a

83
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: grandfather who were pop stars.

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: So I mean that is a rare pathway. That is

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: a blessing that I'm so grateful for. And yes, I

86
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: wrote this book that you're speaking of. It's called Born

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: to Be brave. I have been spending the last couple

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: of years writing children's books and reading them to three

89
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 4: to five year olds to teach them things like the

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: fruit of the spirit, love, kindness, faithfulness, self control, and humility,

91
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: contra drag queens, teaching them about pride and self empowerment

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: rather than self control and finding myself inundated by parents

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 4: who say that they feel silenced and marginalized, afraid, they're

94
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: not sure what to do, and then they throw some

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: of them throw a religious element into it and say,

96
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: but that's the way the Bible says it's supposed to be.

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: It's just gonna get worse and there's really nothing we

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: can do about it. And I go time out. No,

99
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 4: I think that's totally misplaced. That hopelessness is found nowhere

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: in the history of the Family of Faith, or the

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: scriptures or what I'm seeing right now. And I realized,

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: I need to put gas in the tank of the parents.

103
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: I need to put win in the sales of the grandparents,

104
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: the people who actually understand why this is the greatest

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: country in the world, so that they can have the

106
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: bravery encourage to get our kids to a place of

107
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: blessing and protection. And teach them the things that we

108
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: are losing in this country.

109
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: It's nice to hear a sense of optimism about how

110
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: the battle for spirituality or the spiritual battle is playing

111
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: out in this country, and that I guess the good

112
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: guys and gals can win here. I mean you're mentioning obviously,

113
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: the book, I assume is a bit of a template

114
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: or some encouragement perhaps you know, coaching from the sidelines

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: here for how people can get more involved in these

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: battles themselves, or just give them a framework, a template

117
00:05:59,320 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: for doing it.

118
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: The book is Born to be.

119
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: Brave, how to be a part of America's spiritual comeback.

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: And so, as a new grandparent, I got to say,

121
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: you know, you've got a lot of grandparents listening right now.

122
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: I feel like the older I get, the more wisdom

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: I feel comes from the older generation in a lot

124
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: of ways. I'll be honest with you. How does that

125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: play into the spiritual comeback?

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, many grandparents feel like, well, I did my time,

127
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: and I've had my opportunity to make a difference. No, no, no, no,

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: you're just getting started. If you are somebody who loves God,

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 4: loves your family, and loves this country. Listen, don't get

130
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: bitter when you watch the news. Get better. Don't be

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 4: a whiner, be a winner, don't complain about the culture.

132
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 4: Create the culture you have, the time, you have, the

133
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: opportunity with the next generation. They need you pour into them.

134
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: That's what I need to be doing. Let me ask

135
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 4: you this question, Clay, what if the current cultural setback

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback led

137
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: by the family of faith. What if the political corruption,

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: the moral collapse, the economic decline, the spiritual apathy is

139
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: really a wake up call for those of us who

140
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: know exactly what's going on. We've been red pilled. We

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: see what's happening. The promises of the enemy are turning

142
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: out to be fake. And now it's our time to

143
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: red pill everybody else. But we've got to do it

144
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: the right way. The only way out of the matrix,

145
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: first of all, is to start with a heart of

146
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: humility and love. And then we've got to speak the

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: truth with boldness and with courage, starting with myself, my family,

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: and then work our way out through our communities, to

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 4: the state and to the local level. And I believe

150
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: that if we lean into this bravery and courage that

151
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: God has given his faithful followers. We can and we

152
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: will realign the nation with biblical, constitutional American values. It's

153
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: happened before it can happen again. It's called a great awakening,

154
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 4: and we're.

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: Due for one. That was really well said Kirk. And

156
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: given your background in Hollywood, I have a question for you.

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: I just mentioned we saw the Ami Racist premier Matt

158
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: Walsh's documentary.

159
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: Such a great movie should be required viewing for every American.

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: I thought it was fantastic. He's going to be on

161
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: with us Monday. But it seems to me, and I'm

162
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: curious if you feel this based on your background, that

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: even in Hollywood. I was reading in the Wall Street

164
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: Journal magazine about they're making an HBO. I think it

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: was series about the biblical David. There certainly has been

166
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: a lot, it feels to me, whether it's the Sound

167
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: of Freedom, whether it's so many different movies out there,

168
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: ordinary angels that came out. I believe the Irwin brothers

169
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: are involved in those films, who are also located to

170
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: a large degree here in Nashville. Do you sense that

171
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: Hollywood is recognizing that there is a great cultural hunger

172
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: for stories such as these, and that that is allowing

173
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: people to maybe connect their emptiness inside with recognizing where

174
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: it's coming from. Am I crazy? Or is that starting

175
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: to happen? Even from the cultural perspective, From what you see.

176
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: I feel exactly what you're feeling, and I see what

177
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: you see, And what I believe is that Hollywood has

178
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 4: been ripping off the Biblical narrative since the very beginning.

179
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: They have wisely recognized the stories that resonate most violently

180
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: with the human hearts in a good way. Stories of redemption,

181
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: the hero's journey. You see it in every Marvel movie,

182
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: in every Batman movie. You see it everywhere. And it's

183
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: the against all odds, when all hope seems lost. Story

184
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: when the underdog undergoes a transformation and comes back from

185
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: the impossible to win the day. And it's in Lord

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 4: of the Rings, it's in Narnia, it's everywhere. And that's

187
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: why I try to make the movies that I make,

188
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: the books that I write, and the cartoons and children's

189
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: programs that I'm producing. So that's why people need to

190
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: go see movies like that. The movies you just talked about,

191
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 4: Sound of Freedom or the Kendricks brothers. New movie that's

192
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: out called The Forge, about men mentoring and discipling the

193
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: younger generation of men to give them a sense of

194
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: identity and purpose and destiny. And that's why I want

195
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: people to get this book. I wrote Born to Be Brave,

196
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: because when we support projects like this, when we listen

197
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: to radio stations like yours, what does that do? Not

198
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 4: only does it equip us and educate us and open

199
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 4: our eyes so we can do something, it then sends

200
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: massive financial shock waves to the industry and blows open

201
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 4: the doors so we have more radio stations like yours.

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 4: We have more books like Born to Be Brave, We

203
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: have more movies like The Passion of the Christ or

204
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: Sound of Freedom or or or whatever it is to

205
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: combat the evil and begin to turn the tide of

206
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 4: the culture. Remember, a tiny, vocal minority group with ridiculous

207
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: ideas that are fake and lies have managed to transform

208
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 4: what is normal today. Think of what we could do

209
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: if we got a plan, work together and our cause

210
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 4: was just I feel everything, So can I ask? Here's

211
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: what I'd love more than anything. This is the first

212
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 4: book that I've ever written for adults, and I want

213
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: more than anything to write more books like this, and

214
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: I want all of my friends, who are better authors

215
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: than I am, to write more books like this. And

216
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: the way that we can do that is if this

217
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: makes it to whatever the numbers are, to put me

218
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: on the New York Times bestseller list. That sends a

219
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: message to the publishing endo that America wants more about

220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: about a spiritual comeback in America, a reviving of American

221
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: first principles that leads to our blessing and protection. And

222
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: then we can flood the market with that kind of stuff.

223
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: I don't want it to be fringe. I want it

224
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: to be mainstream. Spiritual comeback plus capitalism. You're in the

225
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: right place there you go.

226
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 6: Thank you.

227
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, good cameraon Everybody, Born to be Brave. How to

228
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: be a part of America's spiritual comeback? Check out your

229
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: copy of it.

230
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: Kirk. Always great to have you man. We'll see you soon.

231
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: Appreciate both of you guys. Thanks so much, Thank you,

232
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: Thank you.

233
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Sunday hang with Clay and Buck.

234
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: Sports music movies. It appears to me that there is

235
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: a groundswell of desire which I think could be so

236
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: important to the discourse in this country for America to

237
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: go back to the era that Buck, even though he's

238
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: younger than me and I grew up in and that

239
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: many of you out there around our ages also grew

240
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: up in the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties. Many

241
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: of you out there are nostalgic in many ways for

242
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: those eras, even the early parts of the two thousands,

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: but in particular the eighties and the nineties, because we

244
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: had a crazy era. Then people might have disagreed politically,

245
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: but we didn't decide when somebody voted different than us

246
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: that they were despicable, as MSNBC has been calling Trump

247
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: supporters today or last night. We played that audio for

248
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: you earlier, and I've been arguing for a long time

249
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: that really, the i would say celebrity athlete who characterized

250
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: that era better than anyone was Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan,

251
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: to this day is still the most popular athlete in America.

252
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: I'm My last book before this current one was called

253
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: Republicans by Sneakers. Two crazy stat for you. At the

254
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: time I wrote that book, Michael Jordan's Air Jordans Sneakers

255
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: still sold more every year than every current NBA player combined,

256
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: Lebron Steph Curry, You Roll them all up together, they

257
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: sold less than Michael Jordan's air Jordans were selling. I

258
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: think that's still close to true even today. Why was

259
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: that because Michael Jordan's hallmark was his excellence, and he

260
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: wanted everyone to celebrate his excellence. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, Strait, Republican, Democrat, Independent.

261
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: In fact, my book was called Republicans by Sneakers two

262
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: because that was a quote from Michael Jordan in that

263
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: era when he was asked why didn't get political? Then

264
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: suddenly that all changed. In the Trump era, athletes decided

265
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: they had to use their platforms, and they had to

266
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: be super partisan, and they had to come out in

267
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: favor of Hillary Clinton, they had to come out in

268
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: favor of Joe Biden. It's dying down now. Buck In

269
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four and yesterday, there were three different clips

270
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: that I think tell an interesting story. First, let's start

271
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: with Patrick Mahomes, who I would argue is the single

272
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: most famous male athlete in America today, quarterback for the

273
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs. His wife Brittany has suggested, based on

274
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: things she's liked, that she is a Trump supporter. Trump

275
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: has been complementary of Patrick Mahomes and Brittany. He was

276
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: asked about it at a press conference yesterday. This is

277
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: what he said for President Trump.

278
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 7: Ro student family against the Fox News in relations to

279
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 7: this campaign.

280
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 5: I just wonder what your reaction is to seeing that.

281
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I've always said I don't want I

282
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 7: don't want my place in my platform to be used

283
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 7: to endorse a candidate or do whatever each Either way,

284
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 7: I think my place is to inform people to get

285
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 7: registered to vote, is to inform people to do their

286
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 7: own research and then make their best decision for them

287
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 7: and their family. And so I think that's every time

288
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 7: I'm on this stage and I get asked these questions,

289
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 7: I'm going to refer back to that because I think

290
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 7: that's what makes America so great.

291
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: Pretty great answer in many ways.

292
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: You know what's funny about this, Clay is a lot

293
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: of people hear that people like you and me and

294
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: others will listen and say, I wish pretty much every

295
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: athlete would just do this. Although than athletes, look, well,

296
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: we're not allowed to have, you know, opinions on politics,

297
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: but yeah, more and Hollywood actors, you know, famous people

298
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: of all kinds. I wish they would just stop with

299
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: the But because he's not willing to smugly lecture everybody

300
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: on politics when we just want to celebrate athletic greatness,

301
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: people are gonna assume he's Republican.

302
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 5: You know that, right? I mean this is now.

303
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: The only people that are like, I don't want to

304
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: be annoying about my politics, are Republican. If you're a

305
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: big Kamala voter, you're telling everybody you gotta vote for Kamala.

306
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: What I said, and I'll stand by it. Just to

307
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: be fair. If your wife is voting Trump, what are

308
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: the odds that the man isn't? How many, honest question,

309
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: how many married couples out there? I think there are

310
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: a lot that split, right, we have a gender divide.

311
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: I think there's lots of men who would vote Trump.

312
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: I think there's women who would vote Kamala. I think

313
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: there's lots of those households. I think there are many

314
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 3: fewer households where wife votes Trump and husband votes Kamala.

315
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that? That is a like a

316
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: very like. There's lots where both do the same. My household,

317
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: we're gonna have double Trump voters. I think it's fair

318
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: to say buck your household you'll have double Trump voters.

319
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.

320
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: Just so there's a lot.

321
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: There, like, what was that criticism of Trump you had.

322
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: Let's let's tighten that up a little bit, you know.

323
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: Okay, So there's lots of households out there that are

324
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: going to double Kamala vote. I do not believe there's

325
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: very many households where woman is a Trump's supporter and

326
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: husband is a Kamala supporter. So I think you're right there,

327
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: but I do think it's significant. He went on to say,

328
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: I don't judge people by their politics. I can get

329
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: along with anybody because they kind of let him on.

330
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: Because Taylor Swift has decided that she's going to endorse Kamala, okay.

331
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark was also asked the same question yesterday. I

332
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 3: would submit to you that Caitlyn Clark is probably the

333
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: most famous female athlete in America right now, here's what

334
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: she said.

335
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 8: You liked an Instagram post last night from Taylor Swift

336
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 8: that got a lot of attention, and I'm just curious

337
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 8: if you could tell us what that post meant to

338
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 8: you and if you are in fact potentially going to

339
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 8: endorse Kamala.

340
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 9: Harris Iday for myself. As you know, I have this

341
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 9: amazing platform. So I think the biggest thing when do

342
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 9: you just encourage people to register to vote?

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 8: I think for myself is the second time I can.

344
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 9: Vote in an election at age twenty two. I had a

345
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 9: vote when I was eighteen, So I think do that.

346
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 9: That's the biggest thing I can do with the platform

347
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 9: that I have. And that's the same thing caredate and.

348
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 10: I think, continue to educate yourself the candidates that we have,

349
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 10: the policies that they're supporting. I think that's the biggest

350
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 10: thing you can do.

351
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 9: And that's what I would recommend to every single person

352
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 9: that has that opportunity in our country.

353
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: You know what, Okay, play yea.

354
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 2: It's you know, and obviously you follow sports professional sports

355
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: a lot more than I do. That's because that saying

356
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: I watch the Super Bowl and the US Open and

357
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: that's about it. But that's somebody who wants to build

358
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: a brand that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars is

359
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: what that is.

360
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 5: That's what that is.

361
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: That's somebody who's like, you know what, I don't want

362
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: to antagonize half of my prospective ticket shoe jersey. I

363
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: don't know you know, skincare product, whatever she's done that.

364
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: Is Michael Jordan's example, or Tiger Woods for that matter. Okay,

365
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: one more because I think this one is funny too.

366
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: Usher was on our favorite show, The View. Usher, for

367
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: those of you who don't know, prominent black musician Joy

368
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: Behar just went all in on Hey, don't you need

369
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: to endorse Kamala? Here's the answer, here's the.

370
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 11: Response in this emergency that we're in. I think that

371
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 11: whose artist has come out and speak for Kamala against

372
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 11: Donald Trump? Because he is an existential threat to the country.

373
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 11: What do you say to that?

374
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 7: You know what?

375
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 12: I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get

376
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 12: a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously

377
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 12: have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is

378
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 12: an individual choice, and I think that you're right. You

379
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 12: have to look at the reality of the country that

380
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 12: we are and the country that we want to be

381
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 12: and find the candidate that you feel both are who

382
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 12: fits the category of where we want to be, and

383
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 12: that's what you vote. Based off of who you highlight

384
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 12: and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform

385
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 12: you have is your prerogative.

386
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: Look to me, Buck Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, and Usher Boom

387
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 3: Boom boom. Maybe they all have the same pr person,

388
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: but all three of them, especially Usher there when Joy

389
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: Behar is like trying to brate him on a super

390
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: left wing show to endorse Kamala and admit and hit

391
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: her opinion that Trump's a horrible human being. I think

392
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: that's a significant cultural shift that we're seeing.

393
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Yes, and I think it's one. It's the business move

394
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 2: that we thought everybody was going to be making in

395
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: the public sphere.

396
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 5: Until really about what fifteen to now.

397
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean their Hollywood actresses who've always been very vocal

398
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: about their politics. But I mean, if you were just

399
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: trying to maximize your brand's profitability, you tended not to

400
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: antagonize half the country. That changed, Yes, that changed, and

401
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: then you had people like Colin Kaepernick who were dragging

402
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: it in the other direction of Oh, it's worth so

403
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: much more to you to be woke and to squeeze

404
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: everything you can out of that. That spitting in the

405
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: face of half of your audience when they don't care

406
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: what you think about the following things, is that's a

407
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: trade off you should make. I do think the pendulum

408
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: has started swing back. You know, it's the bud light effect.

409
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: It's a number of what was the what's that store

410
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: target with all the sort of lgbt Q stuff.

411
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: Forgetting the children tuck like bathing suits and stuff for

412
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: people were.

413
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Just like and the you know, the Disney chief creative

414
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: executive who's like, well, I have a pan sexual child

415
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: and a non binary child. That everyone's like, this is

416
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: in charge of what projects get made at Disney for kids?

417
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 5: What, by the way, what are the odds?

418
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: I know we talked about that, what are the odds

419
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: that the parent just happens to have a non binary

420
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: child and just happens to have a pan sexual child

421
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: and also a super left wing But these have nothing

422
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: to do with each other, right, It's not in doctrination,

423
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: it's just nature, not true. So I think this is

424
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: this is encouraging at some level, but play also I

425
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: think that Look, I don't follow again, you know the

426
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: sports stuff way better than I do. But with Patrick Mahomes,

427
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 2: he always comes across to me okay, just observing observe

428
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: him as I have in different interviews and things. He's

429
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: a guy who comes across as humble while being a superstar,

430
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 2: which is so refreshing to people. You know, he's a

431
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: guy who there's a gratitude that he has all the

432
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: time for being the best quarterback in the NFL, for

433
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: being a celebrated superstar, for being worth what is he worth,

434
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: forty fifty million dollars a year?

435
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: Whatever's on his content? Yeah easy or yeaheah, whatever it is.

436
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm guessing he comes across like a guy

437
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: who really is like, I want to inspire people and

438
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: entertain them with my excellence on the field and make people,

439
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: you know, aspire for things in their own lives because

440
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: of the greatness that they're around and that they see

441
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: on my team, and that has value to people that

442
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: that's something you know, you don't need people to be telling.

443
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: You know.

444
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: The problem with the athletes is a lot of them

445
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: want to lecture every politics and I'm just like, you

446
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: don't know what you tell You're just not very well

447
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: informed on politics, right, correct?

448
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: And you actually expect.

449
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: Them to be right because those people who have to

450
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: commit and you do a great deal of time, effort,

451
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: and energy to being excellent at one particular field, it's

452
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: not that often that you're an expert in another field, right,

453
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: And I think it's fine for me able to share

454
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 3: their opinions. But I've always been of the opinion that

455
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: the Michael Jordan era, the Tiger Woods era, was a

456
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: unity era where we could all watch a great athlete

457
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: and we didn't need to think at all about anything

458
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: other than their athletic excellence. And it feels to me

459
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: when you got Patrick Mahomes and Caitlin Clark in the

460
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: same day, even in the midst of a high stress

461
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: political universe, saying yeah, I'm not gonna endorse, it feels

462
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 3: like a major cultural swift shift, swift shifty by what

463
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift is doing.

464
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 5: I would even be happy with.

465
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: A move toward more prominent public figures just saying look,

466
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna vote Trump or I'm gonna vote Kamalo. But

467
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: I understand it's a personal decision, and I just encourage

468
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: everybody to do their own home work.

469
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: And get out or whatever.

470
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: The thing that really sits in you know, sticks in

471
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 2: people's car they think it really is annoying, is you know, well,

472
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: I just want to tell everybody, like, I can't imagine

473
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: how you wouldn't vote for this person or that person.

474
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 3: You know, It's like or I'm like the Chelsea Handlers

475
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: of the world being like, I'm gonna move to Canada,

476
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: and then you know, their side loses and they don't

477
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: move to Canada.

478
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 5: Well, it's always I'm actually.

479
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: Glad they did that now though, because it's so funny,

480
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: because it becomes such a cliche, you know, it's also

481
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: look not throwing shade at Canada, very nice people, you're

482
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: gonna leave the US.

483
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 5: I don't even know if that would be choice number one.

484
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 5: It's really cold in the winter.

485
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: Not even close to choice number one for me. I

486
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: mean not even in the like, I'm not sure it's

487
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: top twenty for me. Sorry, Canada Wow Sundays with Clay

488
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 3: and Bus sports, music movies. It appears to me that

489
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: there is a groundswell of desire which I think could

490
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: be so important to the discourse in this country for

491
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: America to go back to the era that Buck, even

492
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: though he's much younger than me and I, grew up in,

493
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: and that many of you out there around our ages

494
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: also grew up in the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties.

495
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: Many of you out there are nostalgic in many ways

496
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: for those eras. Even the early parts of the two thousands,

497
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: but in particular the eighties and the nineties, because we

498
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 3: had a crazy era. Then people might have disagreed politically,

499
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: but we didn't decide when somebody voted different than us

500
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: that they were despicable, as MSNBC has been calling Trump

501
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 3: supporters today or last night. We played that audio for

502
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: you earlier, and I've been arguing for a long time

503
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: that really the I would say celebrity, the athlete who

504
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 3: characterized that era better than anyone was Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan,

505
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 3: to this day is still the most popular athlete in America.

506
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm My last book before this current one was called

507
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: Republicans by Sneakers. Two crazy stat for you. At the

508
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: time I wrote that book, Michael Jordan's Air Jordans Sneakers

509
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: still sold more every year than every current NBA player combined,

510
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: Lebron Steph Curry. You roll them all up together, they

511
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 3: sold less than Michael Jordan's Air Jordans were selling. I

512
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: think that's still close to true even today. Why was

513
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: that because Michael Jordan's hallmark was his excellence, and he

514
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: wanted everyone to celebrate his excellence. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay,

515
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: Strait Republican, Democrat independent. In fact, my book was called

516
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: Republicans by Sneakers two because that was a quote from

517
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan in that era when he was asked why

518
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: he didn't get political. Then suddenly that all changed. In

519
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: the Trump era, athletes decided they had to use their platforms,

520
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: and they had to be super partisan, and they had

521
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 3: to come out in favor of Hillary Clinton, they had

522
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: to come out in favor of Joe Biden. It's dying

523
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 3: down now buck. In twenty twenty four and yesterday, there

524
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: were three different clips that I think tell an interesting story. First,

525
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 3: let's start with Patrick Mahomes, who I would argue is

526
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: the single most famous male athlete in America today, quarterback

527
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: for the Kansas City Chiefs. His wife Brittany has suggested,

528
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: based on things she's liked, that she is a Trump supporter.

529
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: Trump has been complementary of Patrick Mahomes and Brittany. He

530
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: was asked about it at a press conference yesterday. This

531
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: is what he said for President.

532
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: Trump family at the Fox News and relations to this campaign.

533
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: I just wonder what your reaction is to seeing that.

534
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I've always I don't want I don't

535
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 7: want my place in my platform to be used to

536
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 7: endorse a candidate or do whatever each either way, I

537
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 7: think my place is to inform people to get registered

538
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 7: to vote, is to inform people to do their own

539
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 7: research and then make their best decision for them and

540
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 7: their family. And so I think that's where every time

541
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 7: I'm on this stage and I get asked these questions,

542
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 7: I'm going to refer back to that, because I think

543
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 7: that's what makes America so great.

544
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: Pretty great answer in many ways.

545
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: You know what's funny about this, Clay is a lot

546
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: of people hear that people like you and me and

547
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: others will listen and say, I wish pretty much every

548
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: athlete would just do this, Although then athletes look, well,

549
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: we're not allowed to have, you know, opinions on politics.

550
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, more and Hollywood actors, you know, famous people

551
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: of all kinds. I wish they would just stop with

552
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: the But because he's not willing to smugly lecture everybody

553
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: on politics when we just want to celebrate athletic greatness,

554
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: people are gonn to assume he's Republican, you know that, right?

555
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 2: I mean, this is now the only people that are like,

556
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to be annoying about my politics are Republican.

557
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: If you're a big Kamala voter, you're telling everybody you

558
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: gotta vote for Kamala.

559
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: What I said, and I'll stand by it. Just to

560
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: be fair. If your wife is voting Trump, what are

561
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: the odds that the man isn't? How many, honest question,

562
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: how many married couples out there? I think there are

563
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: a lot that split, right, we have a gender divide.

564
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: I think there's lots of men who would vote Trump.

565
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: I think there's women who would vote Kamala. I think

566
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 3: there's lots of those households. I think there are many

567
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 3: fewer households where wife votes Trump and husband votes Kamala.

568
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: Would you agree with that? That is a like a

569
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: very like there's lots where both do the same. My household,

570
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna have double Trump voters. I think it's fair

571
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: to say, buck your household, you'll have double Trump voters.

572
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.

573
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: Just so there's a lot of paris Like, what was

574
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: that criticism of Trump you had. Let's let's tighten that

575
00:30:59,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: up a little bit.

576
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: Okay, So there's lots of households out there that are

577
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: going to double Kamala vote. I do not believe there's

578
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: very many households where woman is a Trump supporter and

579
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: husband is a Kamala supporter. So I think you're right there,

580
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: But I do think it's significant. He went on to say,

581
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: I don't judge people by their politics. I can get

582
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: along with anybody because they kind of let him on.

583
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: Because Taylor Swift has decided that she's going to endorse Kamala, okay.

584
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark was also asked the same question yesterday. I

585
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: would submit to you that Caitlyn Clark is probably the

586
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 3: most famous female athlete in America right now, here's what

587
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: she said.

588
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 8: You liked an Instagram post last night from Taylor Swift

589
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 8: that got a lot of attention, and I'm just curious

590
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 8: if you could tell us what that post meant to

591
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 8: you and if you are in fact potentially going to

592
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 8: endorse Kamala Harris today.

593
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 9: For myself, as you know, I had this amazing platform,

594
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 9: So I think the biggest thing would be interesting her

595
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 9: people to register to vote. I think for myself is

596
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 9: the second time I can vote an election at age

597
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 9: twenty two. Have a vote when I was eighteen, So

598
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 9: I think do that that's the.

599
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 10: Biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have,

600
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 10: and that's the same thing caredate and I think continue

601
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 10: to educate yourself the candidates that we have, the policies

602
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 10: that they're supporting.

603
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 9: I think that's the biggest thing you can do, and

604
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 9: that's what I would recommend to every single person.

605
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 10: That has that opportunity in our country.

606
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: You know what, Okay, play, Yeah, it's you know and

607
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: obviously you follow sports professional sports a lot more than

608
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: I do. That's because that saying I watch the super

609
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Bowl and the US Open and that's about it. But

610
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: that's somebody who wants to build a brand that's worth

611
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars is what that is.

612
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 5: That's what that is.

613
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: That's somebody who's like, you know what, I don't want

614
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: to antagonize half of my prospective ticket Shoe Jersey, I

615
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, skincare product, whatever she's done.

616
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: That is Michael Jordan's example, or Tiger Woods for that matter. Okay,

617
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: one more because I think this one is funny too.

618
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: Usher was on our favorite show, The View. Usher. If

619
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: those of you don't know, prominent black musician Joy Behar

620
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: just went all in on Hey, don't you need to

621
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: endorse Kamala. Here's the answer, here's the response in this.

622
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 11: Emergency that we're in. I think that whose artists come

623
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 11: out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump because he

624
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 11: is an existential threat to the country. What do you

625
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 11: say to that?

626
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: You know what.

627
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 12: I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get

628
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 12: a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously

629
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 12: have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is

630
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 12: an individual choice. I think that you're right. You have

631
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 12: to look at the reality of the country that we

632
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 12: are and the country that we want to be and

633
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 12: find the candidate.

634
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: That you feel both.

635
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 12: Who fits the category of where we want to be.

636
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 12: And that's what you vote. Based off of who you

637
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 12: highlight and how you choose to highlight it on whatever

638
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 12: platform you had, is your prerogative.

639
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: Look to me, Buck Mahomes, Caitlin Clark, and Usher Boom

640
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 3: boom boom. Maybe they all have the same pr person,

641
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: but all three of them, especially Usher there when Joy

642
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 3: Behar is like trying to berate him on a super

643
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: left wing show to endorse Kamala and admit and hit

644
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 3: her opinion that Trump's a horrible human being. I think

645
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: that's a significant cultural shift that we're seeing.

646
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: Yes, and I think it's one. It's the business move

647
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: that we thought everybody was going to be making in

648
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: the public sphere until really about what fifteen to now.

649
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: I mean their Hollywood actresses who've always been very vocal

650
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: about their politics. But I mean, if you were just

651
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: trying to maximize your brand's profitability, you tended not to

652
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: antagonize half the country. That changed, Yes, that changed, and

653
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: then you had people like Colin Kaepernick who were dragging

654
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: it in the other direction of Oh, it's worth so

655
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: much more to you to be woke and to wheeze

656
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: everything you can out of that that spitting in the

657
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: face of half of your audience when they don't care

658
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: what you think about the following things. Is that's a

659
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: trade off you should make. I do think the pendulum

660
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: has started to swing back. You know, it's the bud

661
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 2: light effect. It's a number of what was the what's

662
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: that store target with all the sort of lgbt Q stuff.

663
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: Forgetting the children tuck like bathing suits and stuff for

664
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: people were just like.

665
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: And the you know, the Disney chief creative executive who's like, well,

666
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: I have a pan sexual child and a non binary

667
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: child that everyone's like, this is in charge of what

668
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 2: projects get made at Disney for kids?

669
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 5: What, by the way, what are the odds? I know

670
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 5: we talked about that, what are.

671
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: The odds that the parent just happens to have a

672
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: non binary child and just happens to have a pan

673
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: sexual child and also a super left wing But these

674
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: have nothing to do with each other, right, It's not

675
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: in doctrination, it's just nature. Not true.

676
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 5: So I think this is this is encouraging at some level.

677
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 2: But play also I think that, Look, I don't follow again,

678
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: you know the sports stuff way better than I do.

679
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: But with Patrick Mahomes, he always comes across to me, okay,

680
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: just observing observing him as I have in different interviews

681
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 2: and things. He's a guy who comes across as humble

682
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 2: while being a superstar, which is so refreshing to people.

683
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: You know, he's a guy who there's a gratitude that

684
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: he has all the time for being the best quarterback

685
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 2: in the NFL, for being a celebrated superstar, for being

686
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: worth what is he worth forty fifty million dollars a year?

687
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 5: Whatever's on his content? Yea easily yeaeah whatever it is.

688
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm guessing he comes across like a guy

689
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: who really is like, I want to inspire people and

690
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: entertain them with my excellence on the field and make people,

691
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: you know, aspire for things in their own lives because

692
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: of the greatness that they're around and that they see

693
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: on my team, and that has value to people. That

694
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: that's something you know, you don't need people to be,

695
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: you know. The problem with the athletes is a lot

696
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: of them want to lecture on politics, and I'm just like,

697
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 2: you don't know what you tell You're just not very

698
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: well informed on politics, right, correct?

699
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: And you wouldn't.

700
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 3: Expect them to be right because most people who have

701
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: to commit and you do a great deal of time, effort,

702
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: and energy to being excellent at one particular field, it's

703
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: not that often that you're an expert in another field, right.

704
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: And I think it's fine for people to share their opinions.

705
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: But I've always been of the opinion that the Michael

706
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 3: Jordan era, the Tiger Woods era, was a unity era

707
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 3: where we could all watch a great athlete and we

708
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: didn't need to think at all about anything other than

709
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: their athletic excellence. And it feels to me when you

710
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: got Patrick Mahomes and Caitlin Clark in the same day,

711
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: even in the midst of a high stress political universe,

712
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: saying yeah, I'm not going to endorse. It feels like

713
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 3: a major cultural swift shift. Swift shift by what Taylor

714
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 3: Swift is doing. I would even be happy.

715
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: With a move toward more prominent public figures just saying look,

716
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna vote Trump or I'm gonna vote Kamalo. But

717
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: I understand it's a personal decision, and I just encourage

718
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: everybody to do their own homework and get out or whatever.

719
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: The thing that really sits in you know, sticks in

720
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: people's car. I think it really is annoying, is you know, well,

721
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: I just want to tell everybody, like, I can't imagine

722
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: how you wouldn't vote for this person or that person.

723
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's like or I'm him, like the Chelsea

724
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 3: Handlers of the world being like, I'm gonna move to Canada,

725
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: and then you know, the their side loses and they

726
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 3: don't move to Canada.

727
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's always I'm actually glad they do that now though,

728
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: because it's so funny, because it becomes such a cliche.

729
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: You know, it's also look not throwing shade at Canada.

730
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 2: Very nice people. You're gonna leave the US. I don't

731
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: even know if that would be choice number one. It's

732
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: really cold in the winter.

733
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: Not even close to choice number one for me, I

734
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 3: mean not even in the like. I'm not sure it's

735
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 3: top twenty for me. Sorry, Canada.

736
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 4: Wow.

737
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: Sunday Drum with Clay Buck.

738
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 6: Hey, Jeff, where are you from? In Brockville, Ontario?

739
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 5: So there we go right now, thank you.

740
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 6: Right out my window, I see the United States Upper State,

741
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 6: New York and it's Trump country up there. Yeahs talking

742
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 6: about how expensive it is up here in Canada. A

743
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 6: house here in Brockville, it'll run you probably about a

744
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 6: starter home, probably about three hundred, four hundred thousand dollars Canadians.

745
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: But I know people that bought houses in Ogdensburg in

746
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 6: the States because they're buying them for between fifty and

747
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 6: ninety thousand US and going to work across the bridge

748
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 6: every day.

749
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: So it is housing in Canada is super expensive. I

750
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: was just thinking of the metro areas, but it sounds

751
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: like you're telling me it's a broader problem.

752
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 6: It's everywhere. It's in every small town, any large town,

753
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 6: medium town. It's out of control.

754
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that would be consistent with the government regulations.

755
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: As you is, this Pierre Polyef guy, he doesn't really

756
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: cross over in the US media much. He's the conservative

757
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: leader up there, right, he is.

758
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 6: He the real he's a real deal. And this is

759
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 6: area that I'm in as a conservative stronghold. But if

760
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 6: they called an election today, you wouldn't have a Liberal

761
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 6: party anymore, and you wouldn't have an NDP party anymore.

762
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 5: Wow.

763
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, Thank you for the call, Thank you for listening.

764
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: As as playing Buck International, Baby, We're international, that's all

765
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: I can tell you.

766
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 5: We got listeners. It's actually fun. Sometimes we get these

767
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 5: little maps.

768
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: It'll show us like a heat map of where people

769
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: listen all the world, and all of a sudden, we'll

770
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: see we'll see some listening in Germany, and some listening

771
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: in South Korea, and some listening in the South Pacific.

772
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, that's right, US military bases, of course.

773
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: And I think that is probably one of the things

774
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 3: you've been overseas as well. Buck. The thing that a

775
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: lot of times people connect with is their hometown. I

776
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: saw it in sports. We had massive amounts of military

777
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: listeners for sports talk radio because you just crave a

778
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: taste and a feel of home. And I know this

779
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: show has always he's been Rush himself would talk about

780
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 3: it sometimes, how many people on bases would listen because

781
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: they might have listened in their car driving around with

782
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 3: their parents. It just gave them a little bit more

783
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: of a taste to home when you feel so far away.

784
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: So thank you to everybody that is in fact listening

785
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 3: and streaming this show serving overseas right now we're living overseas.

786
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: We hope we're bringing you a little bit more of

787
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: a feel of how things are going in the good

788
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 3: old USA.

789
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 5: Got some vip emails here. Let's see, we've got Mike Rights.

790
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: I wonder how Kamala's price fixing plan is going to

791
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: work out with Taylor Script's one thousand dollars concert ticket prices.

792
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: Talk about gouging, Yeah, well what is the deal with?

793
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: First of all, some of the companies that are involved

794
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: in like concert ticket sales are so scummy and it's

795
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: like a disgusting cartel of price hijacking and go ahead.

796
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: No, I was just gonna say, I mean, yes, the

797
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 3: tickets have gotten crazy expensive. It's also the case that

798
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, who is a billionaire. When you become a billionaire,

799
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: who the president of the United States is, does not

800
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: actually impact your life very much. So to me, when

801
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: you're a billionaire lecturing people on how you think they

802
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: should vote, it really strikes, in Taylor Swift terms a

803
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 3: cord that does not feel very true to me when

804
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 3: you are living above the line to such an extent

805
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: that there's nothing that could happen financially to Taylor Swift

806
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: that could drastically change her lifestyle compared to most of

807
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift's fans who are desperately scrimping and saving to

808
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: try to be able to go watch one of her concerts.

809
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: You know, when was the last time Taylor Swift was

810
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: in anything.

811
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 5: That you would consider to be a truly middle class

812
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 5: home and for any length of time? Any question?

813
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 3: When was the last time she was on a commercial

814
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 3: airline flight? A commercial I bet she hasn't been on

815
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: a commercial airline flight in ten years. I mean, she's

816
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: got her private jets. She claims to care so much

817
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 3: about global warming, but she jets all over the place

818
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 3: in the jet. And I don't begrudge anybody who has

819
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 3: a private jet. I think if you have that those

820
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: resources and you want to use them, good for you.

821
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: But I think it's just like her connection to her

822
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: average fan base is not very there's not a lot

823
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: of overloading.

824
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 2: This is where the this is where the cruelty of

825
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 2: Democrat positions really comes in, especially for the Democrat elites.

826
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: They advocate for things that make them feel good about

827
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: themselves that will hurt everyday people. And this is This

828
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 2: is on crime, this is on taxes, and the economy

829
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: is on the border. It's oh, I'm just you know,

830
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: we are the world man. I'm a humanitarian. I care

831
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: about climate change. I want everyone to have free everything

832
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 2: as long as I'm flying private and have personal chefs

833
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: and fifteen houses to go to and.

834
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 3: Lots of film it, lots of fenses to protect you,

835
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: lots of walls to keep you from anybody being able.

836
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 5: Excuse me.

837
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: Kamala is unburdened by what has been She wants a

838
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 2: wall now.

839
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,160

870
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 5: At this, it's rough. I'll be honest.

871
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: You might need some coffee because you are having trouble.

872
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: You injured yourself playing tennis. It's hard for you to

873
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 3: walk right now.

874
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 12: I know.

875
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 2: And someone even told me maybe you should try pickleball.

876
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: I'd blessed. Have you ever tried? I've never tried it.

877
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: Every one of my neighborhood plays saying this is in

878
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: the in the in the racket sport world. If if

879
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: you are like a lifelong tennis player, which I am.

880
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm very good, but you know I'm okay,

881
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: lifelong tennis player, and someone says try pickleball, Clay, this

882
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 2: would be like someone telling you stop watching college football

883
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 2: you should watch college lacrosse instead.

884
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 3: You're just like, what not totally different sport. Although I

885
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 3: have heard lacrosse is amazing and one of my kids

886
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: is playing, and Buck, this is the embarrassing for me

887
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 3: as a guy who played and talked about a lot

888
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 3: of sports. Last year, my seventh grader was playing lacrosse.

889
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: I had to pull out my phone and look up

890
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: lacrosse rules on Wikipedia. I had no I'd never been

891
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 3: to a game. I had no idea what was going on.

892
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 3: I might as well have been cricket to me. You know,

893
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 3: sixty years ago, my dad played college lacrosse. I don't

894
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: even know the rules, so I think it's got to

895
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 3: my blood. Kind of popular now, yeah, I don't know.

896
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 3: But to be fair to you, I mean, I don't want.

897
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: To take it.

898
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 3: It's funny.

899
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: It's cultural appropriation, as you know, guys wearing pink shirts

900
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 2: with the collars up taking it from the Native Americans.

901
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to insult you, but I'm going to

902
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: do that to finish the week. I think your niece

903
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 3: so bad. I don't even think you could play pickleball

904
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 3: right now. Wow, I'm.

905
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 4: I don't think it's probably true.

906
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 5: Carrie Carrey keeps aging to me, can I go get

907
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 5: that for you? And I'm like, no, maybe have a Dibrican.

908
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 5: Everyone
