1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast O. Welcome in, Glay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Thursday edition 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: of the program. Yesterday we teased it. Donald Trump said 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: he had a major announcement to make, and I gotta 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: be honest with you, Buck, it feels a little bit 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: like the Christmas Story when he gets the leg lamp 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: and he just keeps saying it's a major award. It's 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: a major award. So Trump's tease Buck. You said, maybe 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna come back to Twitter. Not a bad guess, 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: Not a bad guess at all. I thought it was 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: a really good one. I said, maybe he's gonna start 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: some sort of vice presidential reveal process instead. And this 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: is trending all over social media. He has himself in 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: a superhero costume that is a NFT. It's basically a 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: digital card, like yeah, non fungible token is what it's called, 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: which doesn't mean anything to like ninety eight percent of 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: our listenership, I would imagine, But basically it's like a 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: baseball card or a football card or a comic book 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: card that is only available digitally, and I think they're 21 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: selling them for like one hundred dollars. Now, I understand 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: this is kind of funny, but I also wonder in 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: what world would you be teasing this as if it's 24 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: some sort of major announcement and then this is the result. 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: And I think this just kind of ties in part 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: and parcel Buck, you and I both thought Trump's announcement, 27 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: while ill timed and given the given the overall outcome 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: of the mid term elections, was actually not a poor 29 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: announcement at all. But since he announced that he's running 30 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: for president again in twenty twenty or he hasn't really 31 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: done anything, which makes you wonder what was the point 32 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: of announcing in the first place. And also a lot 33 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: of what he's done, I mean the releases about Glenn 34 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: Junkin and Ronda Santis, which frankly, we're not helpful, and 35 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: now teasing that you're going to have a major announcement 36 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: and it's just this NFT thing like a digital trading card. 37 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: I understand why even though Ronda Santis has not announced, 38 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people are just kind of looking around 39 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: and saying, there's just the sizzle. Now, there's not the 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: substance behind the sizzle. Does that make sense? Trump has 41 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: been great at and it's a big part buck of 42 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: being able to win an election is having the sizzle 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: and the substance. It feels to me now increasingly like 44 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Trump is just putting out the sizzle and there's not 45 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: much substance behind it at this point. Does that make 46 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: sense to you? Well, given also where he is, when 47 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: Trump was saying, we're not tired of winning yet, he 48 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: could do anything and it was funny, it was, you know, 49 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: anything along these lines, right, Could he could take a 50 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: moment of levity or distract from the major policy issues 51 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: because we were winning, because things were going really well. 52 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: We just had a pretty disappointing midterm election. Yes, and 53 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: Trump has started to see some major softness in the 54 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: polling among Republicans, right, I know. I guess thirty forty 55 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: percent of our listeners right now are not in that 56 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: category at all. They think Trump is the only guy. 57 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: He's the only one. But remember the GOP when Trump 58 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: was in office, there was something like a ninety seven 59 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: percent support and approval for Donald Trump of the entire 60 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: GOP when he was in office. Liked what he was doing. Now, 61 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: we're looking more at you know, sixty percent, fifty percent, 62 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: forty percent depends on the poll you look at. So 63 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: it just feels like it's not really the time for 64 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: a joke announcement like this. Uh Now, people could also 65 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: say it's it's so early it doesn't matter, and okay, fine, 66 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: But why is Trump selling ninety nine digital imagery as 67 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: a Christmas gift right now and not have it? If 68 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: he said this was raising money for like one of 69 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: the great charities, for example, that we represent on this show, 70 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: I'd say, brilliant. I get it. He's trying to raise money. 71 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that yet. So what is this all about? 72 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: What is the purpose of this? And who is advised? 73 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I worry about who's advising President 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Trump right now, who's around him talking to him and 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: telling him things that really could have an impact on 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: his thinking about what he's doing, because I don't know. 77 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: And what I'm seeing right now is it feels like 78 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: there's a there's a it's a drift. It feels like 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: there's something lacking, something missing right now in the focus. 80 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: Look that all may change. It is December, it's almost 81 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Christmas break, I get it. But I'm just gonna say it. 82 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people are a lot of 83 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: people are taking this whole thing very poorly. Who are 84 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Trump supporters? I will say I've had them reaching out 85 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: to me ever since this drop, saying what is he doing? Yeah, 86 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: And I mean we'll open up phone lines eight hundred 87 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: and two A two two eight A two. I think 88 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know hardly what we're talking about. 89 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: You can go to Clay and Buck dot com. We'll 90 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: put up kind of the image so you can check 91 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: it out. We'll also have Clay and Buck tweet out 92 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. And this ties in with the 93 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: wooming Trump versus De Santis issue. Now. I was reading 94 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: this morning, I believe in the Wall Street Journal. They 95 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: said the Florida legislature is going to be in session 96 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: until mid May, and so it's unlikely that De Santis 97 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: would make any decision, which is kind of squares with 98 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: our timeline that we thought, Hey, he'll decide in June July, 99 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: sometime in the summer what it exactly he wants to 100 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: do when it comes to running. And a lot can 101 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: change between now and then, But this is what I 102 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: would say, Trump needs something to go his way in 103 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: the winter spring where you come back, and this was 104 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: the pole where you put up buck. And honestly, I 105 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: think it's a really intriguing question if he were to 106 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: actually get indicted, does it work in his favor, in 107 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: other words, to people rally around him, because I think 108 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: certainly when mar Lago got rated, many people responded, when 109 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: was that August? I think, if I'm not mistaken, when 110 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: that FBI rate of mar Lago happened, a lot of 111 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: people said this is unacceptable, and everyone rallied around Trump. Remember, 112 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: I think Democrats are desperate for Donald Trump to be 113 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: the nominee. So there's been this discussion of, oh, Democrats 114 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: are trying to knock Trump out of the running by 115 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: deciding to bring charges against him. I'm not really sure 116 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: that that's true. I almost think that charges being brought 117 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: against Trump help him. And I wonder if sixty five 118 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: percent of the respondence to that pole that I put 119 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: out non scientific, unscientific poll, but sixty five percent of 120 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: them think that it would rally the GOP base around him. 121 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: But I would also always put into the mix in 122 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: these discussions that the Democrat base has been promised they 123 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: they they have been told for years that the apparatus 124 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: will get Trump and that that may make them do 125 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: things that aren't even necessarily politically sound in the election 126 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: in the electoral sense, but are just something they have 127 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: to do in order to play Kate the most rabid fans. 128 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to start, there is one 129 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: right now. But you know it's so easy, the easiest 130 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: thing the world to be some leftist hack and start 131 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: a Trump Special Council indictment watch podcast, yeah, and just 132 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: do every tiny minute update of every investigation. There is 133 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: an audience of Trump Arrangement syndrome libs who this is 134 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: all they want to listen to. This, They think this 135 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: is the single much they thing out there. And so 136 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: you'll see if you go on the podcast rankings, we'll 137 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: see some of these shows. You say, what is this 138 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: and it's just another version of the drip, drip, drip, 139 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna get Trump. Guys, not even in political office. 140 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: He's hanging out at Mara Lago, playing golf and spending 141 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: time with family, and they're still listening to podcasts every 142 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: day about how Trump is going to get arrested any 143 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: day now. And it's because of Mari Lago or obstruction, 144 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: or taxes or you know, all this whole list of things. 145 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: People have lost their minds over this. I mean the 146 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: same way, Clay, that we're walking. We're walking around still 147 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: and seeing. Maybe you don't see it in Tennessee, but 148 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: when I'm up in New York City, you got double maskers. 149 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: When I was the DMV recently, employees double masking. Here 150 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: we are this deep into it, still double masking. And 151 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: with Trump it's the same thing. There are people for 152 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: whom it doesn't matter how much less rational it is 153 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: to be fixated on this than it never was. They 154 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: want this. Did you see this reminds me the superhero 155 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: Trump thing that he is selling. I don't even remember 156 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: if we discussed this, but there was a report, and 157 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: I think this. I do think this is really funny 158 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: that when Trump was coming out after his COVID treatment, 159 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: he contemplated being wheeled Did you do you remember this story? 160 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: He contemplate, yes, yes, being wheeled out in a wheelchair, 161 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: and then in front of the media and everyone, he 162 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: was going to stand up and rip rip his shirt 163 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: open to reveal himself wearing a superman a shirt, which 164 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: is the point hysterical. Well, in that case, I think 165 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: it actually would have been really funny. And I love 166 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: a lot of the Trump humor and the showmanship and 167 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: what he's capable of at rallies. I think though, just 168 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about people that I've talked to you 169 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: since this only broke what maybe an hour ago, two 170 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: hours ago, but I've been getting text messages from different 171 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: different folks who are Trump supporters. They are pro Trump 172 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: to this day. They want him to be the nominee 173 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: and the president United States. But the feedback you're getting 174 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: from some of those folks is herschel Walker just lost 175 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: in Georgia. We didn't take this Senate, we didn't have 176 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: the red wave in Congress. Joe Biden is the president 177 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: right now. We can all sit around and argue about 178 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: why that is, but Joe Biden is the president. We 179 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: are tired of losing. We are not tired of winning. 180 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: We are tired of losing, and we would like a 181 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: focus on winning again. And I think even for the 182 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: most ardent Trump supporter of the GOP faithful, I think 183 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: that's fair. I think it's fair enough to say, all right, everybody, 184 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: it's it's big boy time. It's it's time to show 185 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: some results and get things done. I know we're two 186 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: years off from the election. I understand there's a lot 187 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: that's going to happen between now and then, but that 188 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: focus should kick in sooner than later. I think it's 189 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: a good point. What is the best result that Republicans 190 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: have had since the twenty twenty election? I think there's 191 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: only one that Glenn Young can win, right, I mean, 192 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: because if you look at all of twenty two in 193 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: terms of a win that you weren't anticipating, there were 194 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: no huge wins. None. There were the Governor Lombardo won 195 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: the governorship of Nevada for Republicans, that was almost the 196 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: only big statewide win. Now you can say Ron Johnson, 197 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: it was great to have him win in Wisconsin. But 198 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I think it's one hundred percent Glenn Younkin. I've got 199 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: another one for you. What's the big win we've had 200 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen? Win Trump won and since we had 201 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: unified control of the House and the Center. It since 202 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, which was an amazing election, was yes, you know, 203 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: the most joyous and the best election I can remember, Okay, 204 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: in my lifetime as an adult, that was amazing. Since 205 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, what is the election We've said, that's awesome, 206 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: we really got it done. Twenty eighteen not very good, 207 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty super disappointing, twenty twenty two pretty disappointing. You know, 208 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: Desantist racked up the huge win in this last gubernatorial election, 209 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: which signaled a shift in Florida of millions of votes, 210 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: which was a massive a sea change and made Florida 211 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: solidly read and really now Florida as a state. I mean, 212 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: you could argue still Texas, but Florida is really the 213 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: capital of the GOP, at least in spirit in many 214 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: ways at this point in time. But if you're looking 215 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: for other major wins, we haven't had them. And I 216 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: don't think there's a degree there's a degree of frustration. 217 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: Right when you're the reigning champ. You make all the 218 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: jokes you want. When you've lost a few bouts, I 219 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: think I think people only want to see you out 220 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: there jogging, training, hitting a heavy bag, getting it done. Now. 221 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: That's a great point, But I would say since sixteen, 222 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: the only kind of unexpected, wow, thank you win that 223 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: Republicans have had in a statewide race may well be 224 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: Glen Yuncan as governor of Virginia. And I think that's 225 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: worth thinking about in terms of contextualizing where the party 226 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: is in a mental state aspect right now as we 227 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: start to look ahead towards twenty twenty four. Yeah, I mean, 228 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: we all understand what it's going to be. How do 229 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: we win the necessary voters in Pennsylvania, in Georgia and Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, 230 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe a couple of other states, maybe New Hampshire. You know, 231 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: how do we win those states? That's it, Yeah, determined 232 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: control of the government, control of the future of the 233 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: country for at least four years. So, you know, I 234 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: think at work begins now. I'm happy to see that. 235 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: Looks like there's some real there's a real you know, 236 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: Harmeat Dylan is running for RNC chair and she's a 237 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: very smart, very serious lady, and let's actually let that 238 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: process play out. She's obviously running against Ron McDaniel. There 239 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: hasn't been major shifts on the Republican side in leadership yet, 240 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: but all is also running. I mean, that's going to 241 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: be a battle in the RNC, right, But I do 242 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: think that it is. It is time for us people 243 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: sometimes say without the GOP, you know, you gotta know 244 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: what time it is. It is wake up time, everybody. Uh, 245 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: you know, the time for a lot of a lot 246 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: of jokes and uh and silliness. In terms of the 247 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: leaders of the party, I'm not really feeling that so 248 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: much right now. I think everybody wants to see us 249 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: get some some really big some really big wins. We 250 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: got a lot coming your way. Actually, you know, Clay, 251 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: there's an AOC movie, AOC documentary there. Yeah, you know, 252 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: we're talking yesterday about people waiting in line for hours 253 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: and hours. Clay had a whole camping thing set up 254 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: in Nashville to go see the AOC movie. I'm, of 255 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: course kidding. Neither of us would ever see that movie, 256 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: even if someone paid us a lot of money. But 257 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: we'll tell you about it and an other important things 258 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: coming up here in a few moments. I met a 259 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: lot of people this year doing great things. That includes 260 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: the people running the preborn pregnancy clinics nationwide. Over the 261 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: course of more than fifteen years, they've saved the lives 262 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: of hundreds of thousands of babies. They do that by 263 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: offering a free ultrasound to an expectant mother and crisis, 264 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: someone who's deliberating life for her child or whether she's 265 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: going to have an abortion. Most of the time, when 266 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: they meet their unborn child via ultrasound and see that heartbeat, 267 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: they'll decide on life. And that's our goal. To help 268 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: this nonprofit organization with a gift this holiday season.

Starts with 271 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: that free ultrasound, though that's the beginning of this process. 272 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: One ultrasound costs just twenty dollars or one hundred and 273 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: forty dollars would allow you to help rescue five babies lives. 274 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: If you can donate one amount or another through a 275 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: match right now, your gift is doubled.

Republicans also take 290 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: the Arizona and Pennsylvania governor's races. This is just by 291 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: the numbers of people who voted. So if anyone wants 292 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: to share out there with us, very curious to hear 293 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: from people that felt felt that was the right move 294 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: for them under the circumstances we also have after the 295 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Trump Superhero NFT situation, but we see Henry Cavill will 296 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: no longer be the actual movie Superman anymore. I did 297 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: see that that was trending. People were pretty mad about that. 298 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: What did you think about his performance as Superman? That's 299 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: not He's just not I think he looks the part, obviously, 300 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: but not good Superhan Superman movies made with Henry cavill. 301 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. They were not very good. 302 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: The Christopher Reeves original Superman movies are way better, way 303 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: better movies to Superman one, Superman two other. Christopher Reeves 304 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: was a great Superman. But anyway, so Trump had these 305 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: NFTs out, but he actually has also put out some 306 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: Remember what was I saying the last hour, focus on 307 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: the focus on the platform, the message, getting it done 308 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: and winning. And I already got some mess of people saying, 309 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: oh but Peter, who are you Well that's actually what 310 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Trump has now decided in the last hour He's going 311 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: to start doing today. I don't know if he's listening 312 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: to the show, but we have some policy stuff to discuss. 313 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: Now what I asked for, I said, hey, maybe Trump 314 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: to do some policy things today. And guess what, he 315 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: just did put out some policy So see, we're coaching 316 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: our side as best we can. Here here is Trump 317 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: announcing his free speech platform for twenty twenty four executive 318 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: orders that he will sign. He just put out this 319 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: video on truth Social Play twenty seven. Within hours of 320 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: my Ina Grey, I will sign an executive order banning 321 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, 322 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: business of person to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the 323 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal 324 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: money from being used to label domestic speech as miss 325 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: or disinformation. And I will begin the process of identifying 326 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship. Second, 327 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all 328 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: parties involved in the new unlined censorship regime, which is 329 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and 330 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: all crimes identify. I think Clay, this is Trump recognizing 331 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: that without free speech, you can't have free elections. Absent true, 332 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: meaningful free speech, we don't live in a free society. 333 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: The biggest threat to democracy is not what a relative 334 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: handful of people did on January sixth. It's what big tech, 335 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: big media, and their Democrat allies did to censor debate 336 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: in our country. Here's my issue. He's one hundred percent 337 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: right on all this. Buck who's advising Trump? Most people 338 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: are not going to see what we just played you today. 339 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: Trump put out a six or seven minute statement nailing 340 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: this issue of First Amendment restriction of the unholy alliance 341 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: between big tech, big media, and the Democrat Party. He 342 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: did it on the same exact day, within a couple 343 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: of hours of releasing these superhero and fts. So your point, 344 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: I think was an astute one. In the first hour, 345 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: the media cycle is all going to be focused on 346 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: the relative paucity of seriousness of these NFTs, right, whatever 347 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: you think about them, and they're going to miss this 348 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: the steak, right, the sizzle gets the attention instead of 349 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: the stake. Now here's the thing. What Trump did so 350 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: well in twenty sixteen and a lot of times very 351 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: well in twenty twenty two buck twenty twenty as well, 352 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: was he was able to give something substantive like this 353 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: First Amendment policy, but he also had some sizzle on 354 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: top of it to draw in everybody to pay attention 355 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: to what he was doing. That showmanship element. Here, he's 356 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: diluting his policy perspective on the First Amendment, which is 357 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent right, with the sizzle that has nothing 358 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: to do with it, which is him standing around in 359 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: these artificial NFTs. Basically, how would you even describe this 360 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: like photoshopped imagery that they're selling for ninety nine dollars? 361 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Why release these things on the same day. In other words, 362 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: it just seems like a huge mess. So I will 363 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: just say this. We were talking the last hour about 364 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: who's advising him right now, and I would take this 365 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: as a moment to show you and I come on 366 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: here and we say we're Trump voters who like the 367 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: guy and think that he's done amazing things for the country, 368 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: and think that he was a very good president. But 369 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: dropping these NFTs and saying it's a big announcement was 370 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: not a was not a strategically sound move. Okay, it's 371 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: just not correct. So people can get mad and say, oh, 372 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: but why are you playing into their hands? Because an 373 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: hour later he does exactly what we're saying Trump should 374 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: be focused on. That is an admission from inside the 375 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: Trump camp. Oh okay, we shouldn't have done the NFT 376 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: thing today. We should have done the speech executive orders 377 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: thing today. That is why they are doing this. So 378 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 1: I just I just want ever to be clear. You know, 379 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: we can all sort of sit around and look at 380 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: everything Trump does in this process of winning the Republican 381 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: nomination and just say all of it is great, or 382 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: we can say, hold on a second, Trump's got great 383 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: things to say on free speech, let's get him on 384 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: that issue NFTs another day. I know this is just 385 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: I think being fair minded about what we're seeing unfold 386 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: in this campaign. Also, Buck, it may be indicative of 387 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: two different divergent groups advising him. And let me explain 388 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: what I mean by this. Commerce aka, hey, let's make 389 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: money is certainly a big part of Trump. I get it. 390 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm a businessperson too, much less successful than Trump, but 391 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: I get the entrepreneurial aspects. I get the goal to 392 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: continue to be able to build businesses that matter. That 393 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: may be one side of the conversation that's going on, 394 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: and that's the NFT, that's like, let's put out these 395 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: Trump these Trump NFTs, non fungible tokens basically baseball card 396 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: like digital events. And then on the other side have 397 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: the policy team and they're saying, hey, now is the 398 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: time for you to put out your First Amendment policies 399 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: and what you will do if you are in office. 400 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: They may not be talking to each other, and so 401 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: you end up canceling each other out because on the 402 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: same day you're putting out two contradictory messages. One is commerce, 403 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: let's have fun. Haha. Look at Trump dressed up like 404 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: a superhero. The other one is very concrete First Amendment. 405 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: And what I'm saying is the best of Trump is 406 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: when the sizzle meets the steak. Here we have the 407 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: sizzle colliding with the steak. Nobody's going to notice this 408 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: First Amendment discussion. It's going to get almost no attention 409 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: in the mainstream press. Well, everybody's going to be trying 410 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: to the NFTE. We will. We're trying to give right 411 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: now because I think the media is not covered. Oh no, 412 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: of course, But I'm saying, you know this, so this 413 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: is why I think it's incumbent upon us. So here 414 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: he is again from the statement that Trump just put 415 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: out in the last hour on right now Twitter. As 416 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: we all know, this is massively important. Want to talk 417 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: about winning a lecture, having a free speech platform, a 418 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: social media platform that allows for issues ideas cannidate. Remember, 419 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: candidates were being shadow banned, my friends, candidates for office 420 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: were being surreptitiously blacklisted. Essentially. It was almost like a 421 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: covert action program against some of these candidates. Of course 422 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: they're all Republicans. This stuff really matters. Here's Trump saying again, 423 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: just releasing the last hour that you need. You should 424 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: need a court order to take down some of this 425 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: online content that's been shadow banned Play twenty eight. The 426 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital 427 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Bill of Rights. This should include a right to digital 428 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: due process. In other words, government officials should need a 429 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: court order to take down online content, not send information 430 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter. Furthermore, 431 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: when users of big online platforms have their content or 432 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: accounts remove, throttled, shadow band, or otherwise restricted, no matter 433 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: what name they use, they should have the right to 434 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: be informed that it's happening, the right to a specific 435 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: explanation of the reason why, and the right to a 436 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: timely appeal. When I am president, this whole rotten system 437 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: of censorship and information control will be ripped out of 438 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: the system at large, there won't be anything left. By 439 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: restoring free speech will begin to reclaim our democracy and 440 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: save our nation. Percent right, Bucky, He's one hundred percent right, 441 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: and this should be the story of the day, not 442 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: him standing in ridiculous outfits that he's selling. Wells sense, 443 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: Why isn't you know? Because I'm not going to sit 444 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: here and say that I don't think that there are 445 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: people advising Trump that listen to the show, because you 446 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: and I both know there are every week from now 447 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: until it's official that you know he's the Republican nominee, 448 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: or at some date in the future, there should be one. 449 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: There should at least be one Trump video five minutes 450 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: long where he's just like, these are the key issues, 451 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: this is what I see going on, and really get 452 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: into it, really provide that context. And you do it 453 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: on truth social if you're not going to do it 454 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: on Twitter, but show people the seriousness and the dedication 455 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: to not just winning, which is obviously critical, but to 456 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: fixing the country Again. What was it all about in 457 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, fixing the problems and speaking for the forgotten 458 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: men and women of America. Get back to that, and 459 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: this thing is gonna the rocket ship starts to take 460 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: off when that happens. Yeah, it's about discipline and about planning. 461 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he's one hundred percent right on all of this. 462 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: None you guys are hearing it because we're gonna share 463 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: it with you. None of the media that needs to 464 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: hear this, None of the independent voters that need to 465 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: hear of this, none of the squishy Trump. Republicans that 466 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: need to hear this, by and large, are going to 467 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: ever know that he put this out because right now 468 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: the number one trending topic is the NFTs these kind 469 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: of silly digital photos of Trump. And by the way, 470 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: his announcement has a good sense of humor. It's clearly 471 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: designed to be fun and funny, and he gets it. 472 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: But why would you conflate these two things, the serious 473 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: and the funny almost simultaneously at the exact same time, 474 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: this thing breathing on its own. Trump really kind of 475 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: laying out a policy that he's one hundred percent right 476 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: on as it pertains to digital freedom and the ability 477 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: of people to share their opinions and not be banned 478 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: for them. And what's the number one thing that I've 479 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: said I'd like to see from Elon Musk. I think 480 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: that every time the government buck makes a request to 481 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: censor an account or to pull down what someone has 482 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: said online, that should be public. Some of it's justified, 483 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: some of it's true, but we should know as citizens 484 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: what is the United States government attempting to keep us 485 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: from seeing? Because I think that will mean that they 486 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: are far fewer censorship requests. Trump's write about this. It's 487 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: gonna get drowned out by all this craziness associated with 488 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: with the NFTs. Yeah, and in the meantime, I'd like 489 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: to see the people in this Biden White House owned 490 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: their mistakes. Even this week, they wouldn't do it. With 491 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: the news on inflation, they make a big deal that 492 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: inflation has gone down from seven point seven to seven 493 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: point one percent, not acknowledging that it was seven point 494 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: one last November or one point two the year before that. 495 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: But it actually takes some guts to make an admission 496 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: about failure.

So we 518 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: got lines lit up all over the place. People really 519 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: want to talk to us about the topics of of 520 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: the day, and that obviously includes the recent statement put 521 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: out by a former President Trump on free speech and 522 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: social media online, so we will get into that. Also 523 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: interesting that we're seeing now a lot more movement toward 524 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: banning TikTok. I mean banning TikTok, a social media platform 525 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: that you would not be that has millions and millions 526 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: of users in this country that would have the government 527 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: just saying not allowed anymore. I mean, essentially kick it 528 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: out of America. That's a that's a strong move. So 529 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: we may want to get back into a conversation on 530 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: that a little bit. But that's just been breaking. In 531 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: the last couple of days. More and more state governments 532 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: are banning the use of TikTok or the downloading of 533 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: the app on their device. Know how that would work? Buck, Like, 534 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: how do you can you think of anything that has 535 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: been banned on the Internet that actually is able to 536 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: maintain that band? I mean, it's not there's nothing inherently 537 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: illegal about TikTok, right, This isn't talk isn't being used 538 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: as part of a conspiracy to sell people legal drugs 539 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: or something. It's you know, it's not like the Silk 540 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: Road or whatever that dark website was, right, It's it's 541 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: this is interesting. I mean, I'm not as as quick 542 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: to be like, oh, well, the Chinese are able to 543 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: spy on everything. Everybody's doing it. Well, really, like, how 544 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: exactly I'm not saying that that's wrong. I'm just saying 545 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: I want to know how that is, because hey, everybody, 546 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: if the government can just shut down a social media 547 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: platform because they say it's like really bad for you know, 548 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: reasons that are unspecified. What else can the government just 549 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: shut down for unspecified reasons that are just really bad? 550 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: Think about the precedent. It's a literally I'm hearing a 551 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: lot of Republicans. Oh, it's China is gonna spy on you? 552 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: Is China spying on us? Is this stuff kept on 553 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: US servers? Can we monitor if it's kept on US 554 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: servers or if it's transferred any other sort? You know? 555 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: I just want more information. I see it's a lot 556 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: of people are all TikTok the Chinese spying up. Okay, maybe, 557 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: but everybody should know why because the government just saying 558 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: this app no longer exists in America when millions of 559 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: people are using it. I think we should have a 560 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,479 Speaker 1: more robust conversation about this because I do look at 561 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: the slippery slope and I do realize that it is slippery. Also, 562 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: it's weird Buck because at OutKick we got a video 563 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: band that was talking about what we discussed on this show. 564 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: Earlier this week, the Frisbee Golf Association has banned transgender athletes, 565 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: that is, men who identify as women. So we had 566 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: one of our employees doing a TikTok video discussing that 567 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: and TikTok bandit, which is a super woke decision to 568 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: make because they said it was threatening transgender people or something, 569 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: just discussing that news here, by the way, this is 570 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: where we have this actually representative Gallagher saying that TikTok 571 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: is like digital fentinel. Let's play clip six. It is 572 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: time that we do something to stop TikTok from becoming 573 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: the most powerful media company in America because the fundamental 574 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: problem is that TikTok is owned by byte Dance, and 575 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: Byte Dance is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. That's 576 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: why FCC Commissioner Brandon Carr has called it digital fentanyl. 577 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: Is so highly addictive, and ultimately you can trace it 578 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: back to the CCP. The issue is not just that 579 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: the CCP via Byte Dance via TikTok can track your location, 580 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: contract your keystrokes, can compile a dossier on you. The 581 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: issue increasingly is that a lot of young Americans get 582 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: their news from TikTok, which will allow TikTok to censor 583 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: news according to the dictates of the Chinese Communist Party. Okay, 584 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: so one thing is play. If they do ban it, 585 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, you know some people, I know some people. 586 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: Can we clone the TikTok app, call it something else 587 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: based in America? Because this is going to be the 588 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: most popular social media app. I mean Twitter for a conversation, 589 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: but I mean TikTok. It is addictive. By the way, 590 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: they said the same things about Facebook and Instagram years ago. 591 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: This is not anything that's new. I think it's there's 592 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: a lot going on. Who's banning it? How is it 593 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: being banned under under what pretext? So could we just 594 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: create a TikTok competitor in America that's US based and 595 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't run into this problem? Or is the problem that 596 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: it's so addictive because people also said that about TV 597 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: in the fifties, like I want to know what the 598 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: lines are here. I know my kids and many kids 599 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: out there use TikTok now like it's Google. So it 600 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: is by far the most popular. If you've got kids 601 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: who are let's say, between the ages of you know, 602 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty, they're on TikTok more than anything. Buck 603 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: My one question that I would have for lawmakers because 604 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: I do think it's intriguing the Chinese aspect here. How 605 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: about a policy And I'm just tossing this out there 606 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: that if China bands American tech companies from being able 607 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: to exist in their country, I don't I believe I'm correct. 608 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: I know Twitter is not allowed in China, and I 609 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: leave Google is not allowed in China. Correct. I think 610 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm correcting that right. I was in China and had 611 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: to leave my cell phone behind because of all this. Yeah, okay, 612 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: So if China can ban American owned tech companies in 613 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: their country, why not just say, hey, our general proposition 614 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: is we're not going to allow Chinese based tech companies 615 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: access to our audience when you don't allow American companies 616 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: access to yours. Because our big tech companies read a 617 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: lot of checks to politicians in America, and the big 618 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: tech companies want access to the Chinese market in whatever 619 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: way they can get it, as we know. I get that. 620 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, if if Google and Twitter are 621 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: not allowed now, yeah, I agree with your premise. I'm 622 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: just saying that the reason that that's not happening, and 623 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: that hasn't happened yet, and I think it'd be challenging, 624 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: is because you got to you gotta follow the money 625 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: on this anyway, the TikTok thing I find interesting just 626 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: because I feel like people are going along with this, 627 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: the like, yeah, we used to ban this app. It's like, okay, 628 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: well under what authority? What are the reasons? Could we 629 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: reconstitute a competitor to TikTok? Because this is obviously right? 630 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: Imagine a Facebook was the fastest group. Imagine we go 631 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: back to like circa two thousand and five, two thousand 632 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: and six, Facebook is revolutionizing social media and they say, well, 633 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: this is banned. Wouldn't you want to build the next thing? 634 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Let's build a version of 635 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: right about the business opportunity. I also just don't know 636 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: about how would it work? I mean, there are lots 637 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: of TikTok influencers making millions of dollars, right, American based kids, 638 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, college kids and a little bit older. So 639 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: how do you ban a site like this? Like, I 640 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: just don't know, Like I can't. Kids are smarter with technology, 641 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: buy and large than most adults are. I feel like 642 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: they would find a way to get on TikTok. And 643 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: then what are you gonna do if someone continues to 644 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: use the app? Are you going to arrest them. Like, 645 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: I feel like there's not a lot of thought about 646 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: what this. I think your precedent point is a prescient one. 647 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: And I also feel like it's almost impossible to ban 648 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: something that is super popular. Well, I just want to know, 649 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: for example, and this is what comes up in my 650 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: mind right away. And maybe this is going too far. 651 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: We will get your calls, by the way, if you're 652 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: in a hole that I know, we've got everyone a 653 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: lot of people fired off about what's going on right now. 654 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: But I just say this on TikTok. If the premise 655 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: is this is dangerous because we say so, why can't 656 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: a Democrat administration say truth Social is way too involved 657 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: in insurrectionist talk and you know, YadA, YadA, YadA, truth 658 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: Social is gone. Now. I'm just wondering Twitter, why, if 659 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: they don't take the way that Evlon is running Twitter, 660 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: why could they not say this is a misinformation source. Now, 661 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: maybe it's because it's American owned and that's the difference. 662 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that's their argument, but it is a slippery slope 663 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: to set the precedent of we think this could be dangerous, 664 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: so we're going to ban it. I mean, and if 665 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: by the way, it's that TikTok will allow the Chinese 666 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: Communist Party to get through Apple security to implant you know, 667 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: surveillance software or whatever. Well we should know about. I mean, 668 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: if China's that good at what they're doing right now 669 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: that they can get through all the all the different 670 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: security procedures, and imagine what happened if if we expose that, 671 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: if we find out that that's actually what they're doing, 672 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: we should know that too, right, So I just I 673 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: feel like everyone's just going, oh yeah, it's Chinese Communist Party. 674 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: First of all, the bigger danger to your freedom everybody 675 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: is Google. Hate to break it to everyone. The much 676 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: bigger threat to your actual free speech and daily freedom 677 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: rights is a US based company out of Palo Alto 678 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: called Google. It is actually we know what has already 679 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: been rigging elections in favor of Democrats as opposed to 680 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: the potential danger that could come from the Chinese. By 681 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: the way, let me go to I want to get 682 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: one call in here, Buck before we go to break 683 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: Louise and Suffolk County, New York out on Long Island. Louise, 684 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: what you got for us? Well, first of all, I 685 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: am at the ultra megastore located in Ronkonkoma at the 686 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: America's warehouse. And Um, I have kind of a bone 687 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: to pick with the two of you. M do you 688 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: feel that the conservative media had something to do with 689 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 1: the loss of the recent election, because all you guys 690 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: kept saying was, Oh, there's gonna be a red waves, 691 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a red wave. And I know you 692 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: two are part of that. UM. And I think if 693 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: you would call the Algore syndrome where Democrats stayed home 694 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: and they didn't vote for Algore, um, you think that 695 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: that had something a part to play in why we lost. Yeah, 696 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: so I understand that argument, Louise. What I would say 697 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: is if you go back and look every time we 698 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 1: talked about what the poll First of all, the polls 699 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: were very close, right, we won fifty one forty eight statewide, 700 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: I mean nationwide popular vote. That is Republicans one fifty 701 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: one to forty eight nationwide the popular vote for the 702 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two overall elections. Right. Second part of that, 703 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: if you go back and listen to us every time 704 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: we talked about that we wanted a red wave, I 705 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: wanted a read tsunami. We didn't get it. I'm super disappointed. 706 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: I said, make sure that all of you vote, because 707 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: this could come down and is likely to come down 708 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: to a few thousand votes in many of these competitive elections. 709 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: I think that dozens of times saying this is good 710 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: key races will come down to hundreds, perhaps thousands, but 711 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: perhaps even hundreds of votes. We can go back and 712 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: pull times where I said there are more people listening 713 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: right now on stations, on small stations and parts of 714 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: these states, then will be the difference in victory or defeat. 715 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: And that was the truth. So I help it. I 716 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: certainly am. I understand that people can be upset and 717 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: I it's like I told you, Buck, it's like a 718 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: sporting event when a team loses. Every everybody wants to 719 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: find somebody to blame for why things didn't go as 720 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: they wanted it to. I don't know, because I thought 721 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: about this a lot. I don't know how we could 722 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: have used our platform to have been more helpful in 723 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty the number of candidates we had on 724 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: who were in close races. Everyone in a close race 725 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: wanted to be on the show as often as they 726 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,720 Speaker 1: could possibly be on the show. That's right. We couldn't 727 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: even schedule them enough on the show. They wanted to 728 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: be on the show out all the time. And look 729 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: you the one that we won. Ron Johnson won by 730 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand votes. I think you can say this 731 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: audience in particular helped to get Ron Johnson across. I 732 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: wish we had been able to win more close races, 733 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: but I don't think we could have done more. I 734 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: mean I traveled to Herschel to go to campaign for 735 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: him in person multiple times. I really think Buck, you 736 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: and I did as much as we could. Doesn't mean 737 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: that the results weren't what we wanted. But I put 738 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: my head down at night on an election that eve 739 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: and thought we did everything we could. Rising inflation, vital 740 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: style market wreaking, havoc on retirement accounts, economic uncertainties all 741 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: over the place. Could be heading into a big recession 742 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: next year too. You know that.

So, Buck, as we went to break, we 779 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: were playing this Andrew Tate discussion about Meghan Markle. You 780 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 1: were talking about this Netflix series that everybody is watching. 781 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,879 Speaker 1: It's certainly very popular and this is the truth. What 782 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: percentage of people gone to that part yet? But that's 783 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: the that's the big bombshell allegation. Yes, so what percentage 784 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,240 Speaker 1: of people in England if they hadn't been told Meghan 785 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: Markle is part black, would have ever known Meghan Markle 786 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: was black? And what kind of racism is she dealing with? 787 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: When most of us think of racism. I'm not an expert, thankfully, 788 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: but when most of us think of racism, we think 789 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: of it as most basic level. As you look like X, 790 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: so I am going to treat you like why and 791 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: it is a discriminatory behavior. But for Megan Markle, you 792 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 1: have no idea what her racial background might be. I 793 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: don't think just by looking at her, I would imagine 794 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: that's true for most people in Britain as well. And 795 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 1: so I think it is an interesting question because she 796 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: is arguing that she's being treated unfairly because of her 797 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: race in England, and I don't know that I buy 798 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: into that argument at all. I just I want to 799 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: know in what way is that actually occurring. I mean, 800 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, I would want some idea as to why 801 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: they think that that is the situation, other than look, 802 00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: claiming this victimhood status so very popular for people to 803 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 1: do as a general matter in the United States. I'm 804 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: a victim, I'm a victim. It's very popular to do 805 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: in the UK as well. And celebrities, as we know, 806 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 1: love to cling to it. I mean people like Elizabeth 807 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: Warren right pretended to be Native American, Yes, because it 808 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: was of particular benefit to her academically. And I just 809 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 1: think it's interesting that we're we're supposed to believe that 810 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: that there, that a person is experiencing acute rate and 811 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 1: calling people racists, right, This is not a calling somebody 812 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: racist is meant to destroy their reputation, to cast them 813 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: out from society, to do them serious psychological and reputational harm. 814 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,439 Speaker 1: That's what calling someone a racist, whether it's the royal 815 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 1: family or your neighbor down the street, that's what it does. 816 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 1: And to make that claim when you're somebody who I don't, 817 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I would not, I do not. Does anyone 818 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,360 Speaker 1: look at Megan Markle and immediately think that they would 819 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: know if she weren't constantly announcing and making claims about 820 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: her heritage, what ratio is? I think the answer would 821 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 1: have to be no. Yeah, And I think that's an 822 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: interesting point. Two buck, And what I will bring home 823 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: because I am embarrassingly pretty well plugged in on the 824 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: Royal family for decades. This is embarrassing. But if you 825 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: go back in time to when Prince William was dating Kate. 826 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: Before they were married, she was ridiculed in the press 827 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: because her mom, I believe, was a stewardess on an 828 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: airline and she was not. And I think I'm correct 829 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 1: on this. She was not of royal lineage, right, She 830 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: didn't have some extreme title, she didn't have some you know, 831 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: she wasn't a duchess. She wasn't. So the reason why 832 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up is there is a I think 833 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: certainly cast based, class based prejudice that exists inside of 834 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: the royal family in favor of royal titles, though, is 835 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So, how much of Meghan Markle's treatment 836 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: is not based on her race, but it's based on 837 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: the fact that she's just a middle class American actress, right, Like, So, 838 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: in other words, if you if Megan Markle was just 839 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: a blonde hair, blue eyed star and on stars being exaggerated, 840 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: she wasn't that high level of an actress, right, We're 841 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 1: not talking about someone at the peak of Hollywood. And 842 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: she was on a US USA show that I have 843 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: never seen that I've never watched. Right, So, but if 844 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: you put her and you took away like Okay, she 845 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: is of mixed race, heritage whatever, and you made that 846 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: the least race conscious like a blonde hair, blue eyed 847 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 1: exact same Megan Markle and Harry marries her, and she 848 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: is a mid tier at best American actress from a 849 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: middle class at best background. I think she'd probably get 850 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: a lot of ridicule because I'm old enough to remember 851 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: when I was studying overseas in England and when they 852 00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: were dating Prince William h and Kate. She got roasted 853 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: in the tabloids all the time because she wasn't of 854 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 1: an elite enough class in some people's mind to have 855 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: been dating William. And if that's the case for her, 856 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: who is British and who has a family, I think 857 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: that was successful. Then I would think that Meghan Markle, 858 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: even if she were just a non no racial background 859 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 1: other than a blonde hair, blue eyed white girl, I 860 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: would think she would have gotten lit up. And they 861 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: lit up everybody it seemed like that Harry dated in general, 862 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: including Harry himself. Who remember buck Harry went to a 863 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: Halloween party dressed as a Nazi soldier. Do you remember that? 864 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: I do remember that. So some of the things that 865 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: Harry got criticized for while they now are like, hey, 866 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: this is really unfair criticism. If you're the second heir 867 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: to the throne in England and you go to a 868 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: Halloween party dressed as a Nazi soldier, I can see 869 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 1: why the tabloids in England might have had a little 870 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: bit of an issue with you. And certainly appears he 871 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,799 Speaker 1: had a partying and alcohol background. I'm not judging that 872 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: lots of people do, but it's very easy to claim 873 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: victimhood if you take a step back and look at 874 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 1: their treatment. How much of it is just based on 875 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: being famous and sometimes, certainly in the case of Harry, 876 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 1: having done some dumb things when you were young. Yeah. Also, 877 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: it seems to me to be a strange thing to 878 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 1: marry into a royal family that lives a life of 879 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: unearned luxury and financial I mean, you know, to say 880 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: that they are in a particularly privileged situation as an understatement. 881 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: Things are so rough and you're you're so marginalized, and 882 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 1: things are so difficult that you get to become a 883 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 1: princess and then complain about it all the time and 884 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,280 Speaker 1: then get to be worth tens of millions of dollars 885 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 1: for whining about how hard everybody was on you when 886 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: you became a princess. I mean, look, I know I'm 887 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: not into all this. I was forced to watch. I 888 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,960 Speaker 1: was forced to watch getting into it. It's the psychology 889 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: of this bucket. I'll just point this out. She did 890 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: a sit down exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, claiming that 891 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: she was disgusted by her behavior from the Royal family 892 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: and that all she and Harry wanted was privacy. I 893 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: believe they now have a six part Netflix series that 894 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 1: seems like the opposite of requesting privacy. I'm just going 895 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: to toss it out there. If I were like, hey, 896 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm tired of working. I've got to 897 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: have a way more privacy my family. And this is 898 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 1: obviously I'm not saying this, but if I did all 899 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: that and then buck a year later there was like 900 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: a ten part Netflix documentary that came out about me, 901 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,760 Speaker 1: you'd be like, I don't know that I'm by Clay 902 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: wanting privacy. I think, I mean, I would just I 903 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: think that the Royal family is preposterous and should have 904 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 1: been abolished a long time ago. And it's hard to 905 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 1: take the British people seriously as long as they still, 906 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: at least the ones that think that this is important 907 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 1: and should endure. That's my opinion as an American, which 908 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 1: I'm allowed to say because I'm pretty sure we want 909 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: a war, so we can say these things a long 910 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: time ago. But beyond that, I mean, Meghan and Harry 911 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: are horrible. That's really it'll takeaway is they're just narcissistic 912 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: and generally worthless of the public conversation. Not only Buck, 913 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: did we win a war against them, we actually save 914 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: their entire country. So I think we can comment. By 915 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,279 Speaker 1: the way, our producer Ali, this is good. She says 916 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: they treated Princess Die the same way because Da was 917 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: more of a commoner. And she says, what a Mega experienced. 918 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: And I think this is a good diagnosis by Ali. 919 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: Is actually eliteism not racism. Well said, That's what I 920 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: was trying to get out. She summed it up. All right, 921 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: we come back. Final segment. By the way, this is 922 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: the last segment that Buck and I will be together 923 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: this year.
