1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Second hour, Clay and Bock kicks off now, and we

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: have so much to discuss here, my friends, about the

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Trump agenda. But let's first get to this up in

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Madison Square, guardian UFC fight John Jones, who is so

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: famous that even I know who he is as a

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: UFC fighter, won the heavyweight title, and just I want

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: to give you a bring you into this moment here

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: for a second, because it goes to the situation of

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: MAGA and Trump and trump Ism right now. I have

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: never seen so many people so excited and enthusiastic about it,

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: and that honestly includes twenty sixteen. That includes November of

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. There was I think for a lot of

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: people the shock of oh my gosh, Trump won, and

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: then also for Trump supporters it was WHOA, So we're

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: really gonna do this now. I like there was a

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: little bit of a getting used to the reality time.

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: They're coming in with a steely eye determination. But first,

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: this gives you a sense of what the vibe perhaps

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: is like right now. This is Trump walking in at UFC,

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: cut four ladies and chundoo to us.

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Now making his way to the world.

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: Fantas off to God. Flack five, UFC CEO Tana White

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: forty five, so big forty seven, the presidency lass Donald Trump.

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: He fished the people that came home twenty year. It

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: doesn't sound in this room.

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 4: It's so loudly here.

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: It is so loud.

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: It's always lo when.

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 5: He comes here.

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: But how many's one now that he's the president of

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, ah, it is amazing. Is it a clay?

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, the energy and everything. And then here

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: is John Jones giving Donald Trump a shout out after

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: winning the World heavyweight title play five.

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 6: I also want to say big, big thank you to

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 6: President Donald Trump for being here tonight. Hey, what do

37
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 6: you gotta think about my persion of the Donald Trump?

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Check it out you? That's that's what I'm proud. I'm

39
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: proud to be a great American champion.

40
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: I'm proud to be a Christian American champion. Now this

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: is such fucked a vibe shift of epic magnitude. I

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 4: mean to have this going on on a ESPN, by

43
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 4: the way, which is a network that has regularly had

44
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: on air talent ripping Donald Trump and his supporters to shreds.

45
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: They aired this from all the ESPN social media accounts,

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: and it wasn't just Trump. I believe he also had

47
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: Buck with him, Tulca Gabbard, RFK Junior, the Vaike, and

48
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: Elon Musk, among others. What does that represent to me?

49
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: It's very fascinating, Buck, because a lot of those people

50
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: used to be Democrats, including Trump himself, and they're now

51
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: being a part of the Republican Party brings a level

52
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: of cool. You had John Jones doing the Trump Dance

53
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: and saluting Trump on Saturday Night, and then you had

54
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 4: players for the Detroit Lions, the Tennessee Titans, and the

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: Vegas Raiders all celebrate either a sack or a touchdown

56
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: with their own version of the Trump dance and Buck.

57
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: For somebody like me who comes from the world of sports,

58
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: I met a lot of you in Athens, thanks to

59
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: everybody who was out and about supporting, you know, the

60
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: sporting events and everything else. But to have this vibe

61
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: shift from Colin Kaepernick, I'm taking a knee. America is

62
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: a fundamentally racist country. From the NBA players who wrote

63
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: Black Lives Matter on the court and actually put political

64
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: slogans on the back of their jerseys to replace their

65
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: actual names, to now we have athletes giving their their

66
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: When John Jones climbed over the out of the octagon,

67
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: he gave Trump his championship belt. And to have athletes

68
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: black and white doing the Trump Dance and saluting Donald Trump,

69
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 4: I feel an immense sense of gratitude, Buck, because this

70
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 4: is what American sports were like before twenty sixteen, when

71
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: Colin Kaepernick took a knee and turned American sports into

72
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: a major flashpoint. Culturally, everybody kind of respected the president

73
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: and hope that he did a good job. And whether

74
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: it was George W. Bush throwing out the opening pitch

75
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: after nine to eleven, or whether it was any of

76
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: these different commander in chiefs on the field for the

77
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: Army Navy game, there was a general sense of respect

78
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: and being proud to be an American and it vanished.

79
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: And now it's Backbuck, and it just feels I think

80
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 4: so good.

81
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I think there are so many people also who are

82
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: noticing that it's I don't know a better way to

83
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: say this than to say it, but it's cooler than

84
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: it has been in a long time. To be a conservative,

85
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: to be a Republican, to be a Trump voter, I

86
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: don't mean that as in we think it's cooler, like

87
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: we've obviously thought it's cool for a long time. But culturally,

88
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: when you have all these different factors added together, you

89
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: have you know, athletes who all of a sudden doing

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: the Trump dance. You have more and more knowns celebrities,

91
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: in particularly anybody who's kind of a celebrity that appeals

92
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: to the masculine minded. I don't know what else to say.

93
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how better to say that either something

94
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: has changed. The zeitgeist is with Trump now, Okay, that's

95
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: what's going on. Trump is in the zone right now,

96
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: and all the shows and all the people, I mean

97
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: late night shows, Clay, It's just sad over there. Man,

98
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: there's no sense of the joy is all on one

99
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: side of the aisle right now, the joy that remember

100
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: when God was talking about joy, The joy is all

101
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: among Trump and his people. Now, this won't last forever.

102
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean that it won't last that we'll be

103
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: happy with Trump, obviously, but it won't last that this

104
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: will all just be the good feelings because there's big

105
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: work to be done as well. There's major action to

106
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: be taken. Let's get into some of that. The vig

107
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Ramaswami who is half of the the Doze Efficiency task Force,

108
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: you could say the vacant Elon or the Clay and

109
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency. And here he is laying out for

110
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: everybody that there's going to be a whole government agencies

111
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: he says that could just be gone. Play six.

112
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 7: We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be

113
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 7: deleted outright. We expect mass reductions in force in areas

114
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 7: of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive

115
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 7: cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the

116
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 7: federal government. So yes, we expect all of the above,

117
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 7: and I think people will be surprised by I think

118
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: how quickly we're able to move with some of those

119
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 7: changes given the legal backdrop the Supreme Court has given us.

120
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: They're talking a big game about I don't know, maybe

121
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: the Department of Education just gone, for example. These are

122
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the sorts of things that are in the ether right now.

123
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: What do you think about this? Are they are they

124
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: going to execute on this? Are the courts going to

125
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: stop them?

126
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: Yes, the courts are going to try to stop them,

127
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: which makes it challenging. But what I would suggest is

128
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: Trump should come into office and immediately say every federal

129
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: employee has to be present five days in the office

130
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: from this point going forward, and if you're not, we're

131
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: going to begin the process to fire you. I think

132
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: that would lead to two things. One, a lot of

133
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: people would go back to work, but grudgingly. Two, anybody

134
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: who's been taking this job and isn't willing to be

135
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: in the office five days a week would go find

136
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: another job, which could lead to a massive headcount in

137
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: overall employees. Buck, you and I have been in Washington,

138
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: d C a decent amount over the last year or so.

139
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: Nobody's in these buildings. I mean, we have a studio

140
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 4: in DC that we're going to be using around Inauguration

141
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: day for a few days again, and we've used it

142
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: quite a few times.

143
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: I went to college in DC. You lived in DC.

144
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: You walk down city blocks and they are complete ghost towns.

145
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: And I'm not talking about in the evening. I'm talking

146
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: about in the middle part of the day, when it

147
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: used to be that everybody came in from Maryland or

148
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: Virginia or different neighborhoods in DC to work in the

149
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 4: federal office buildings. There's nobody in these places. I bet

150
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: the overall number of people going to lunch in many

151
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: of these restaurants is down eighty or ninety percent compared

152
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: to what it used to be. The streets were active,

153
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: there were lots of people out and about. You've seen

154
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: this happen with other places. Amazon said, Hey, you got

155
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: to be back in the office five days. I think

156
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: it's an easy way to get your head count down

157
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: because a lot of people won't show up. We've seen

158
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 4: certainly as it pertains to that. Also, you've seen now

159
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: Washington posts saying the same thing. I think the best

160
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: way to get this addressed in a hurry is everybody's

161
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: expected to be back in the office five days a week.

162
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: You can't use COVID as an ex use anymore. We

163
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 4: are not fundamentally altering this. I think you might get

164
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: a fifteen or twenty percent reduction in federal employees just

165
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: based on that, because Buck, what I think is happening

166
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: is I think some of these federal employees are double dipping.

167
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: That is, they're doing more than just their federal job

168
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: because it doesn't take very much of their time, and

169
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: so they're actually doing other jobs that you can do

170
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 4: remotely as well.

171
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I know that the plan is to cut two trillion

172
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: of spending out of this six trillion in change six

173
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: point something trillion dollars of the of the most recent

174
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: federal budget. To cut that clay without touching Medicare and

175
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Social Security is I don't know if it's mathematically possible, Yeah,

176
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: but you can cut a lot. What they're going to

177
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: run into here is not only well, there's a couple

178
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: of things. One is pairing back. The federal bureaucracy is

179
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a good thing for reasons well beyond just costs. And

180
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I think they need to make that case. I'm sure

181
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: they will. The Veke is very good at making the

182
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: cases for things, as is Elon in his own way.

183
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: I think Elon just gets to be Elon, like he

184
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: says things and people listen. But they need they need

185
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: to make sure everyone understands that these agencies create a

186
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of negative a lot of negative cost, if you will,

187
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: not just financial, but time, frustration, irritation, slowing growth. You know,

188
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: the regulatory burden is something that goes far beyond just cost.

189
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Cost is obviously a big part of it. It's also

190
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: to quality of life and the freedoms that we should

191
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: have to operate without the tentacles of government constantly around

192
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: our neck. So that's a big one. So that the

193
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: cutting is is I actually think that's the second phase,

194
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: clay or the second biggest hill that they have to

195
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: to take. The biggest one is going to be the

196
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: mass deportations. Here's Tom Holman. This is cut seven. Tom

197
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: Holman committed to this.

198
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 8: Game on Look. You remember of Congress. Ice isn't making

199
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 8: this up. They're enforced in the law. We're in the

200
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 8: situation now you got members of Congress. Those who enforce

201
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 8: law are the bad guys, and those who break the

202
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 8: law are the victims. I mean, the whole world's upside down.

203
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 8: They're a member of Congress. I don't make this up.

204
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 8: They're enforcing law that Congress wrote in Congress and acted,

205
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 8: that was signed by President. And they're going to push back.

206
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 8: And President Trust's made it clear, and this makes me angry.

207
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 8: President Trump has made it clear, we're going to concentrate

208
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 8: on public safety threats and national security dreads web. Member

209
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 8: of Congress, what governor or what mayor is against taking

210
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 8: public safety threats out of their community. Haven't we seen

211
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 8: enough crime and enough rape and andumt death?

212
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: You know, one of the big things here at Clay

213
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: is if they're just able to go on that mission

214
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: first of public safety threats, and that means finding all

215
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: of them who are in state prisons, all of them

216
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: who are in federal custody, everybody who should go based

217
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: on a criminal profile beyond their legal status. I think

218
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: the American people will be appalled when they see how

219
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: many criminal illegal aliens are in the country. I don't

220
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt at all about it.

221
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: And this is why I think we need people to

222
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 4: shake up the government. To your point, Buck, it's not

223
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 4: only that we need far fewer federal employees. It's that

224
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: many of those people, and this goes to Trump's arguments,

225
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: are a part of the swamp trying to keep anything

226
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: from changing. They're basically Democrats that are embedded inside of

227
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 4: the government trying to work against any maneuverability that makes

228
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: them more efficient and better stewards of taxpayer dollars.

229
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. It should be a good.

230
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: Thing regardless of whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent.

231
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: We should all want our government to be as efficient

232
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: as possible. Mike ro does a lot more than a

233
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: host television shows highlighting the hard work of Americans doing

234
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: dirty jobs. He also pays attention to our returning veterans,

235
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: running a foundation that provides scholarship to vets learning the

236
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: trades after active service is completed. Puretalk is proud to

237
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: do to Micro's charitable organization called micro Works. It's one

238
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 4: of the many ways Puretalk supports our vets. Puretalk has

239
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: alleviated ten million dollars in veteran debt. In addition, every

240
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: month they donate tens of thousands of dollars to help

241
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 4: prevent veteran suicide. When you switch your cell phone service

242

00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you.

256
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: Hanging out with us as we are rolling through the

257
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: Monday edition of the program.

258
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Bit a Newsbuck.

259
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: This just out of Virginia, the somewhat of a battleground

260
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: state of Virginia. I think that Kamala ended up winning

261
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: by about five points, but you'll remember that Glenn Youngkin

262
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: won that governorship in twenty twenty one. The governor of

263
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: Virginia can only serve one term, so Glenn Youngkin is

264
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: term limited out next year. He just endorsed his lieutenant

265
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: governor win some seers for the governor, also endorsed Jason

266
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: Miarez for we've had him on the show. I think

267
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: we've had both of them on the show, all three

268
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: of them on the show at different points to stay

269
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: as Attorney general as well. Why is all of that significant, Well,

270
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: the first real test for how Trump is being perceived

271
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 4: and doing as president will be that twenty twenty five

272
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: governor's race in VIRGINI also New Jersey will be up.

273
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: We'll see whether or not the Democrats are in danger.

274
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: At all there.

275
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: Remember that race ended up very close as well, and

276
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: Trump only lost the state of New Jersey by about

277
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: four points to Kamala. My analysis there is this is

278
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: just one of the very few pre mid term races.

279
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: I know we just finished the president presidential race, but

280
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: we're now about eleven months out when you look at

281
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: what's going to happen in Virginia and that voting will

282
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: start and we'll see whether Republicans can stack back to

283
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: back wins. There again, Glenn Youngkin term limited out and

284
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: he is endorsing winsome seers.

285
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: I can't believe already talking about another election. I know

286
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna come very quickly. Midterm is all gonna come

287
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: very quickly. But as we were saying, the agenda is

288
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: still very much unfolding here for the Trump two point

289
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: zero administration. We should talk a little bit more about

290
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: Clay the some of these cabinet picks that all are

291
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: in the mix. Uh you, oh Caroline Levitt, we didn't

292
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: get both said we were hoping Caroline Levitt was going

293
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: to get uh the White House Press secretary, and she

294
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: did remarkable uh success story for her on that campaign.

295
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: And you know ran as I think the youngest person

296
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: ever run for a congressional seat or close to the

297
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: youngest person ever and now is the White House Press secretary.

298
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: So she's she's having a good a good run. Uh,

299
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: Still waiting to find out on FBI director. I think

300
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: that the belief is that the current FBI director Ray

301
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: is going to resign, is that right before?

302
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: That seems to be the talk that he's going to

303
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 4: be gone by inauguration day and there will be a

304
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: new one. To a point, so there's still some interesting

305
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: slots that need to be filled, and we like to

306
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: share our thoughts on what those what some good picks

307
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: might be, but also the picks that have already happened,

308
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: including RFK Junior. You haven't even talked to the folks

309
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 4: about r FFK Junior. We got to dive in. That's right,

310
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 4: talk about that for sure. We'll dive into that here

311
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: in just a second. You know, over the week again,

312
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: guess where I was range day again? Actually might be

313
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 4: going back this weekend too. I'm shooting a lot these days.

314
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I did pretty well out there.

315
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: I was lighting it up, you know why, Well, I'm amazing.

316
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: But beyond that, the mantis X system helping me drive

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: fire train here at home, especially in the first the

318
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: first few magazines out there at the range. I'm so

319
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: much more on point, so much more dialed in with

320
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: my shooting because of the mantis X. Mantus X is

321
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: a dry fire training device that attaches to your gun

322
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: like a weapon light. I've had mine for more than

323
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: a year. You can use it at home or the range.

324
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Gives you instant feedback on your shooting and helpful tips

325
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: to help you improve. Nearly every mantis x user about

326
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: ninety four percent he's improvement within the first half hour

327
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: of using it. Go get yourself a mantis X, or

328
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: get it for the shooter in your household. It's a

329
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: great Christmas gift. Mantisx dot com m an tis x,

330
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: that's mantisx dot com. They're not thrilled on the left

331
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: about all of Trump's cabinet picks so far. You know,

332
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: advocate for some of them here, and you know, we

333
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: should probably talk to some of our our friends in

334
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: the Republican Senate here soon about what they're seeing, who

335
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: they're supporting, how they feel about all this right, because

336
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: they've got to do advise and consent or there's gonna

337
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: be some recess appointments, which is that's gonna be very

338
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: interesting if that comes to pass. So we'll we'll get

339
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: on some of the mechanics of that here, probably later

340
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: on this week. But the picks in the meantime that

341
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: have come out, and it does feel more like a

342
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: professional sports draft than any other time I've seen this happen,

343
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: like I don't remember, because well, let's go into why

344
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: so many of the people that Trump is appointing are just,

345
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: let's very famous, I don't know what else. They're very famous,

346
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: or very well known in political circles, or perhaps even

347
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: just globally known in the case of people like Elon,

348
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: so you know, RFK Junior is a very well known figure.

349
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to into that the health establishment is not thrilled.

350
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: I think you could say about the prospect of RFK

351
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Junior running Health and Human Services. This is fifteen. This

352
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: is the cut fifteen, the former CDC acting director on TV.

353
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's loving this play it.

354
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 6: I am outraged because lives are at stake here. The

355
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 6: head of Health and Human Services touches programs that affect

356
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 6: every single life in our country. I've been focusing mainly

357
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 6: on the public health impacts you know, As you know,

358
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 6: I'm a pediatrician. I practiced pediatrics for more than thirty

359
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 6: years and there's nothing that I've done for my patients

360
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: that I know has more positive impact than getting them

361
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 6: vaccinated fully and on time. And to have someone leading

362
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 6: AHHS who is one of the biggest deniers of vaccines

363
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 6: in our country would undermine the confidence in that program

364
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 6: and likelyhood lives.

365
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: They're unhappy with it. Here we got one more. Do

366
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: you want to hear Kathleen Sabilias too? Just because Kathleen

367
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: Sabilius has cut ten on RFK Junior. Also, I'm feeling

368
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: like she's not a yes vote if she could vote

369
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: on this, you know what I mean.

370
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: Senators for Disease Control and Prevention has employees throughout the

371
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 5: United States who work closely with local health officials. They

372
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: put out a voluntary recommendation about what childhood vaccinations are recommended,

373
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 5: what about fluoride and water, and then cities and states

374
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: adopt their own menu of those recommendations. So, again, sitting

375
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 5: over CDC correcting or trying to actually harness the communications

376
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: from CDC make them in correspondence with what he believes.

377
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: Putting up fake science against real science and saying to

378
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 5: people just make up your own minds, I think could

379
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: lead to disaster.

380
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: I love the pick. I mean I disagree with everything

381
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: that you just heard. I love the pick. You and I,

382
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: Buck are aligned one billion percent on. There need to

383
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: be consequences for all of our so called experts getting

384
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 4: everything wrong on COVID for years. What they did to us,

385
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: what they did to your kids, my kids, our grandkids,

386
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 4: it is indefensible to me. And one of the ways

387
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 4: that there can be consequences is to put someone in

388
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: charge of this agency that does not believe that everything

389
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: that every left wing scientist says is the gospel truth.

390
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 4: And what's crazy about this, Buck, is science used to

391
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: mean question everything aggressively all the time, because that's the

392
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: only way to assure yourself that you have reached scientific.

393
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: Certitude that is the truth.

394
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: Remember hypothei all of us learned it hypothesis theory, scientific fact, right,

395
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: that's the pathway. Now, so many of us are told

396
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: to just shut up and accept whatever we're told. And

397
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 4: they were wrong on all of it, Buck, all of

398
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: it they got.

399
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: Wrong during COVID wrong, and they were vicious about it

400
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: and unrepentant about it. Remember they they had you know,

401
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: they had well who was the congressman who who passed away?

402
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: And they were having like the big state funerals for him?

403
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Was it John Lewis? Was that right? Yeah, John Lewis.

404
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: But I mean at least he was a congressman. Look

405
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: at what they did with George Floyd. Well, no, no, no,

406
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the events that they well, yeah,

407
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: of course there were also the riots and all that,

408
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: but I mean official events where John Lewis was. They

409
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: were having, you know, funeral after funeral and like everyone

410
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: was gathered together and everything else. You weren't allowed to

411
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: have a wedding, you weren't allowed to go to your graduation,

412
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: you weren't allowed to say goodbye to your dying grandparents.

413
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: But the important people were allowed to do whatever they

414
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: wanted to do. It destroyed faith in the sea, the

415
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: same of that. MSNBC has imploded, The CDC imploded. People

416
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: don't believe it's a credible institution anymore when it comes

417
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: to policy recommendations and all this crap they pulled of.

418
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh we just make recommendations. We don't make policy. Yeah,

419
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: but the policymakers say that they'll do whatever you tell them,

420
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: so you are de facto making policy when it comes

421
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: to something like COVID right now, Clay, if there was

422
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: another one of the reasons I want RFK Junior to

423
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: go in there. If there was another, let's just say

424
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: a bad flu season, there would be a lot of

425
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: people that would be demanding masks. And this is unacceptable. Yes,

426
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: this is unacceptable as a factive policy, as a fact

427
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: of science. And I think RFK Junior going in there

428
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: and forcing an on the record really like almost like

429
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: a reconciliation hearing, if you will, of what was wrong,

430
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: what they got wrong, Why the official policies are garbage,

431
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: because the way it goes right now, if we got

432
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: scared again, because if some arisolized virus, they would run,

433
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: certainly in the Blue States the same playbook. You'd be

434
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: masking up on planes like a total moron, because that

435
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: makes no sense. Let me also say this, Buck, so

436
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: I love this pick.

437
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: Every Senator should vote for every Trump cabinet nominee if

438
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: you are a Republican. In my opinion, I know they've

439
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 4: talked about recess appointments and everything else if, and I

440
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: know some are not, but I'm just telling you my

441
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: perspective on this. Trump just won the biggest landslide Republican

442
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 4: win since nineteen eighty eight. Everybody knows Trump. He's not

443
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: some hope in a prayer candidate. He's already been president once.

444
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: America knows him well, and they voted for him in

445
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 4: record numbers, the biggest landslide election for a Republican in

446
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 4: thirty six years. In many of your lives, going all

447
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 4: the way back to George H. W. Bush, this is

448
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: one thing Obama got one hundred percent right. Elections have consequences.

449
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 4: When you win like Trump won, you get the opportunity

450
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 4: to put the people in charge of the federal agencies

451
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 4: in charge of cabinet decisions.

452
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: As you see fit.

453
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: And your job should be, in my opinion as a senator,

454
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: to allow Trump's nominees to take those positions. Now, if

455
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Trump decides, hey, down the line, oh, I you know,

456
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 4: I thought this guy was going to be the right pick,

457
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 4: but it turns out I want this gal instead.

458
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: He has that right as well. But I would.

459
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 4: Vote for every single Trump appointment. And I don't even

460
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: think this is a complicated decision buck.

461
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: He won, He.

462
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: Won a substantial majority of the of the electoral votes.

463
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 4: He's going to win the most votes of any Republican ever,

464
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: he gets to make his choices.

465
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: You know, I think we can advocate for some of

466
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: the unfilled position here for people that we think would

467
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: be an asset to Trump and an asset to the country,

468
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: just based on what our knowledge is. You know, Caroline

469
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: Levitt a perfect example. I mean, she was dialed in

470
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 1: for Trump the whole time during the Trump campaign, and

471
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, she brings brings a

472
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: lot of skill to that role, and it's good to

473
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: have youth. It's good to have younger people involved in

474
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: this process. You know, not not everybody who works in

475
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: the White House needs to be, particularly in a sort

476
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: of public facing role. I think needs to be in there,

477
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: you know, middle middle to late middle age. So I

478
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: like that one. I think there's some other national security

479
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: roles that still need to be filled that we have

480
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: some some favorites for some people we would like to see.

481
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

482
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I did not expect Tulci Gabbert to get DN I

483
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Tulsi, so I'm I'm generally a

484
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: pro Tulsi person. You know that'll be interesting to me. Obviously,

485
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: the Pete Hegseth pick at defense, they're going after Pete too,

486
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: which you know, it's just.

487
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, you know, like I told

488
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: you that they were going to go after him, like

489
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: you know, you expect it, but.

490
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: Even still you're just like, really, guys, we're going to

491
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: do this thing where you're going to dig up anything

492
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: and try to ruin a man's character, ruin a man's

493
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: reputation all. I mean, you know, look what they've done

494
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: with Matt Gates. I'm so we expect it. But just

495
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: because you expect it, it doesn't mean it isn't grating

496
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: and annoying and gross when you see it actually happen.

497
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: But to your point, Clay Trump won this victory, I

498
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: think he should get the team that he wants around him.

499
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I'm not gonna sit here and

500
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: criticize his picks because this is the team that he wants.

501
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: Let's see what the results are. Results all of us

502
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: can can either praise or criticize. But the team, I

503
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: think he gets the roster that he wants.

504
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: If you're the super Bowl winner, then you get the

505
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 4: opportunity to go into the next draft. If you're the

506
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: coach and the GM and the owner has to listen

507
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: to you, right, I mean, to me, Trump is the

508
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 4: unquestioned winner, biggest win since a. He gets his guys

509
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 4: and gals that he wants into a position of prominence.

510
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: And I think every Republican senator should show up and

511
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: vote for him. It doesn't mean they're going to, but

512
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you if I were, I would get

513
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: these guys in. And uh, we'll talk a little bit

514
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: more about some of the attacks that are being level

515
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: levied that we told you would come as well. One

516
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: more idea, Kash Pateel.

517
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

518
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: We really think he would be a fabulous FBI director,

519
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 4: great great FBI director. Cash is a friend's full disclosure.

520
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 4: I like Cash. I no Cash personally. He's totally on

521
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 4: board for the agenda. And I would just I would

522
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: just advocate for you know, and and anybody who has

523
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 4: Trump's ear to just to you know, recommend him and uh,

524
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: and I think anybody who could should should confirm him.

525
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: I think Cash would be fantastic. That FBI post is

526
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: not technically vacant, but it may very well be soon

527
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: because the reports are that Chrisopher Ray is not going

528
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: to stick around for a Trump administration, so you probably

529
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: want to know who's who's going to be in that

530
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: role sooner than later, no doubt.

531
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation supports America's greatest heroes,

532
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: US service members and first responders who die or are

533
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 4: severely injured in the line of duty. The Foundation's gold

Speaker 4: women who risk their lives and bodies for our country

537
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: and our communities. The foundations Never Forget programs engage people

538

Speaker 4: com right now. A couple of you want to weigh in,

570
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: calls David in Minnesota. What did you think about what

571
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: you're seeing out there?

572
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: You know, guys, we've been talking about the culture for

573
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: for many years. Rush you guys, your audience and how

574
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: that if until Trump or the GOP Republicans, whatever you

575
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 2: want to call it, became the equivalent of sitting at

576
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: the cool kids table, nothing would change. And with the

577
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: dances in the UFC, the NFL, with a landslide victory,

578
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: Trump winning the young male vote, it's just it's coming.

579
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: There's a sea change coming. The culture is changing and

580
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: it's only going to get better. Thanks guys, what you're doing.

581
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm going to talk about this more

582
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: in the next hour. Buck.

583
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 4: I think he's one hundred percent right for the cold

584
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 4: sure to have changed to the extent where young men

585
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 4: out there are diehard Trump wearing MAGA hat badasses. I think,

586
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 4: what's what's really interesting to me? And again everything is anecdotal,

587
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: but I saw this young men rise coming for Trump support.

588
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: Buck my boys and the kids that they have and

589
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 4: that they hang out around. They're still buy and large

590
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 4: not able to vote. Then this next decade, I think

591
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: they're going to be even more diehard Trump voting than

592
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 4: the current generation. Right, Like my fourteen year old in

593
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 4: the car the other day, I talked about this, saying,

594
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be able to vote in twenty eight He's

595
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: going to vote Republican one billion percent. Jen Z in particular,

596
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: and I think millennials as well, there was a sense

597
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 4: that to be cool, and this might have been a

598
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: part of the kind of Obama phenomenon, but the cool

599
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: kids were Democrats was a widespread I never agreed with

600
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 4: that because Clay I always thought I was a cool

601
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 4: kid of it are friends, but there was a you know,

602
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 4: the culture was much more aligned with them. I think

603
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 4: jen Alpha, which I've now learned, is what's below gen Z.

604
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna see a lot more the cool kids are

605
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 4: conservative because of these alternative media pathways, because of the

606
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: effect of a lot.

607
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: Of shows out there, including this one. I might add,

608
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: but you know, the sort of bro podcasters, the Rogan effect,

609
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: Elon all of it. If you're if you're a if

610
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: you're an eighteen year old guy right now, you know,

611
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: who do you really look up to in the like

612
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: if you're a standard American eighteen year old guy, any

613
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, any race, whatever, any religion, who do you

614
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: really look up to in the Democrat Party?

615
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 4: I don't know who it is having this conversation over

616
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: the weekend, buck, I was having this conversation like, who

617
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 4: would you I was talking with a bunch of dudes,

618
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 4: just again, dudes, not even particular particularly political. I asked

619
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 4: the question, can you name me a Democrat that you'd

620
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: like to go watch this football game with. We're not

621
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 4: gonna sit around and talk about abortion policy, We're not

622
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: going to talk about you know, tax rates. We're just

623
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: gonna watch a game and just have a couple of

624
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: beers and chill. I can't name really a Democrat i'd

625
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 4: want to.

626
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: Watch a game with. I mean, the Tim Waltz thing.

627
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: I know, we had a lot of fun with it,

628
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: and it was funny, but it was bizarre at the

629
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: same time. This is this is there, like, Hey, I'm

630
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: going to appeal to guys who wear carhart and drive

631
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: pickup trucks. Not just for an ad like that's how

632
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: they live their lives. This is who they are. I'm

633
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: going to appeal to them with tim Walls, like, really

634
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: that that's your move. So I think that they've learned,

635
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: they've learned a less of this. I know you've been

636
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: sharing it. The Seth Molten stuff is insane. Yeah, the

637
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: congressman is like boys shouldn't be playing in girls' sports,

638
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: and the left wing lunatics are all after him. If

639
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: Democrats want to start to gain back some of the

640
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: ground they've lost, they actually need guys like Seth Moulton

641
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: who can kind of play that center ground a little

642
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: bit and not look like a total weirdo. Yeah, and

643
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: we need to play some of that audio. I shared

644
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: it over the weekend.

645
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: But I mean, you've got John Oliver, who everybody likes

646
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 4: to talk.

647
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: Oh John Oliver's John Oliver.

648
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 4: He came out and said Democrats need to double and

649
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: triple down on trans inclusion in sports. I'm like Jim,

650
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: I think he's the same things.

651
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: He's the Japanese soldier on the island who doesn't know

652
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: the war is over, or at least that he's lost

653
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: the battle. He's in another planet.

654
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 4: It's crazy, and you know, I got to give her

655
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 4: credit and I would love to have her on the

656
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 4: show at some point. How about JK Rowley just being

657
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: the most based badass woman on the planet. She's a billionaire,

658
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 4: she didn't need to weigh into gender related issues. I

659
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 4: actually want to read her response to what John Oliver

660
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 4: said on air, because I think she may have a

661
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 4: future in writing.

662
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: Book, but this is the Harry Potter writer. She's amazing

663
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: for the battles that she's fighting too,
