1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody. Wednesday edition of The

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show starts right now, and

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: we have much to discuss, as is often the case here,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: a lot of news breaking, a lot of things happening.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: We've got the Trump trial in NYC. Jury selection fully underway,

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: a number of jurors making it through the early stages

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: of the gauntlets that is jury selection. We will discuss

9
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: how a little bit the same way that the Supreme Court.

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: We're told there's a non partisan institution jury selection. A

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of people clearly have animus against Trump, for example,

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: and it seems some of them are in this jury

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: process trying to suggest that, oh, but I could still

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: be impartial. Yeah, we'll discuss this in detail. Trump also

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: going up to the well a bodega, which is like

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: a small neighborhood grocery store New Yorkers all know, but

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: for other folks across the country, bodega is not as

18
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: common a thing. The isn't it isn't that the one

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: also where I think I think doctor Jill Biden, And

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: just so you're clear, we call her that sarcastically. Some

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: of you write in and say she's not really a doctor.

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: We know that's the point we like to be, you know,

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: like doctor Jill Biden's getting called in by her pager

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: on an episode of Graze and had to me to

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: save lives. She wrote a like a PhD dissertation that

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: was absolute garbage for I think the University of Delaware

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: or something on education. Uh so, yeah, anyway, but yes,

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: doctor Jill Biden. I think she was the one who said,

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: but bodega or something. She couldn't she didn't know what

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a bodega was. It's pretty funny, but this is about

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the bodega guy who defended himself with a with a

32
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: knife on video against an assailant who was much bigger,

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: who cornered him and for no reason started just punching him,

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: and he defended himself with a knife and the guy died,

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: and he was charged with murder. If you remember Alvin Bragg,

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: we were outraged here on this show and said it

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: at the time, and the pressure from people of New

38
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: York and across the country who recognized what an outrage

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: this is push Bragg to drop those charges. But Trump

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: is going to visit that store proprietor go visit the

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: guy working at the bodega he went. And this is

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: highlighting I think a big difference between Democrats and Republicans

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: going into this election cycle. Also a lot of hubbub,

44
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on online around the salary

45
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: that Caitlin Clark has the president or at least his staff. Again,

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: we know Joe Biden doesn't write his tweets, but it's

47
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: on his behalf, right, So the White House apparatus put

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: out a tweet upset about how much money Caitlin Clark,

49
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the NCAA female basketball superstar, how much she is going

50
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: to make. It is by professional athletic standards, not a

51
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: lot of money. And there's the Biden White House is

52
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: saying this is unfair because Joe Biden neither knows nor

53
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: understands the first thing about running a business, economic supply

54
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: and demand, anything like that. So we will definitely want

55
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: to dive into some of that because it's well, it

56
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: just shows that one side here lives in reality and

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the other side lives in a delusion. And then we've

58
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: got this is the big one for me today. You know,

59
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Clay and I were going back and forth on this

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: one on air, just talking about because he was he

61
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: started bringing to my attention that tweets around NPR's new chief,

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: the chief Commissar of np R. And the thing about

63
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: it is, when you look at her tweets, it's very

64
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: apparent that everything that you think is true of the

65
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: head of NPR is in fact true of the head

66
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: of NPR. And Uri Yuri Yuri I think right, Uri

67
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: Yuri Uri Berliner, who is the guy who is an

68
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: MPR editor who said, hey, hold on a second, there

69
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: are eighty seven editors in the newsroom, and not a

70
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: single one of them is a Republican. Every one of

71
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: them is a registered Democrat. That can't be a journalistic

72
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: enterprise of any seriousness. Clay he has resigned. I have

73
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: his real quick here's his resignation letter sent to Katherine

74
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Maher who We're going to have some fun with you

75
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: in a second. I'm resigning from NPR, great American institution

76
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: where I've worked for twenty five five years. I don't

77
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: support calls to defund NPR. Well, too bad. I respect

78
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the integrity of my colleagues and wish for ENDPR to

79
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: thrive and do important journalism but I cannot work in

80
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO

81
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR. In

82
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: my free press essay, Clay, is this a shockwave through

83
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: the communist media? Well, we will, we will dive into it,

84
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: you know. In that regard. First, I gotta say, look

85
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: at some of the tweets from oh we have better

86
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: than tweets. We have Katherine Maher I suppose no relation

87
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: to Bill Maher, same spelling of the last name. We

88
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: have Katherine Maher here, the new NPR CEO. I think

89
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: she just took over in January of this year, so

90
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: it's new. The kind of things that you think, without

91
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: even knowing an NPR boss would say, she is like

92
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: made in a lab by communists. It's amazing when you

93
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: actually hear her view of things. For example, she's one

94
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: of these individuals who works in journalism and you really

95
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: have to put the scare quotes. The scare quotes must

96
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: be there. She's one of these people who works in

97
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: journalism but thinks that the First Amendment is an impediment

98
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: to the real mission. And you say, well, hold on

99
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: a second, how can freedom of expression and free speech

100
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: be a challenge to journalism. The only way is if

101
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: journalism is actually propaganda, is if you're taking a partisan

102
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: point of view in order to bring about a certain

103
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: conclusion in the mind of the audience. Hmmm. Catherine Maher

104
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty one June of twenty twenty one,

105
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, she was CEO of Wikimedia. So I

106
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: think she was running Wikipedia like that falls under And

107
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: let me tell you Wikipedia, just like Twitter was before

108
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Elon bought it, It is a communist enclave. They absolutely

109
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: control Wikipedia. They there's so much bias, all kinds of

110
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: things going on there that you know, people should be

111
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: very cognizant of. Whenever you do a Wikipedia search, I

112
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: should also be very cognizant. Ginger has found her way

113
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: into the studio and while I am doing a live

114
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: radio show for millions of people, is dropping her favorite

115
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: chew toy on my feet and saying you must throw this.

116
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: So if you're watching the video wondering why that chew

117
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: toy is being thrown, there you go. Catherine mar twenty

118
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: twenty one June. This is what she said when she

119
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: was running Wikimedia. Play it.

120
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: We took a very active approach to disinformation and misinformation

121
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: coming into the lot, not just the last selection, but

122
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: also looking at how we supported our editing community in

123
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: an unprecedented moment where we were not only dealing with

124
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: the global pandemic, we were dealing with a novel virus,

125
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: which is by definition means we knew nothing about it

126
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: in real time and we're trying to figure it out

127
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: as the pandemic went along. And so we really set

128
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: up in response to both the pandemic but also in

129
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: response to the upcoming US election and as a model

130
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: for future elections outside of the US, including a number

131
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: that are happening in this year. The model was around

132
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: how do we create sort of a clearing house of

133
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: information that brings the institution of the Wikimedia Foundation with

134
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: the editing community in order to be able to identify

135
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: threats early on through conversations with government of course, as

136
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: well as other platform operators to understand sort of what

137
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: the landscape looks like.

138
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: That's a lot of jargon to say we were coordinating

139
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: with the Biden administration to decide what could be said

140
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: on Wikipedia and through Wikimedia about the pandemic. That is

141
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: state media. Now, this is also interesting because NPR likes

142
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: to have it both ways. Oh, we're just like honest journalists, man, Like,

143
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: we just care about the truth than journalism. And yet

144
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: they take money from the federal government. I believe state

145
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: governments also give money to NPR. And when people like

146
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: me point this out, and conservatives have been saying this

147
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: for years, you know, we don't get any state money, right,

148
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean I said to Clay, I said, look, you know,

149
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: if the federal government wants to give us five or

150
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: ten million bucks, I'd say, hey, you know, I mean,

151
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: we wouldn't take it. I'm just kidding. Well, we'd think

152
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: about it, but we probably wouldn't take it. Why would

153
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: you have state funding of this? It's absurd on its face,

154
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: it makes no sense. And then they say, well, it's

155
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: only federal government one percent of our budget or something,

156
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: to which I say, great, then you don't need it.

157
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: It can't be we don't need the funding, but don't

158
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: take away our funding. But that's the game that NPR plays.

159
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's not like we're relying on state funds.

160
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: But if you take it away from us, you're destroying

161
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: like access to information for you know, one hundred million

162
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Americans or whatever it is they say that listens to

163
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: it or has act to it. But back to the

164
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: point here, why is this a moment that I think

165
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: is getting so much attention from emberby One? You have

166
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: an NPR the guy worked there for decades, So it's

167
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: not like what you get on the left. Sometimes on

168
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the left you'll have some infiltrator, you know, get somebody

169
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: who's like, oh, like I managed to get a job

170
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: at Fox News. I worked there for two months, and

171
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: it's propaganda. I mean, no, no, this is a guy.

172
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Uri Berliner is a guy who was drinking the kool

173
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: aid for a long time. I mean, it's not like

174
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: NPR just went woke. It is the most woke. In fact,

175
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: it's so woke that when someone tells me in real

176
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: life that they're an NPR listener, I'm actually somewhat curious

177
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to hear what they have to say, Like I want

178
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: to know, you know, if they listen to CNN, I

179
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: know it's just all I hate Trump, But if they

180
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: listen to NPR, they're just like, yeah, we just need

181
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: to get rid of gender entirely, and we just need

182
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: a global government, and we all need to get rid

183
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: of capitalism and you're just like wait, what like they're

184
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: they're on this whole other level of delusion and separation

185
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: from from reality. And we have more by the way

186
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: of Catherine Moore again, the First Amendment is the foundation

187
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: upon which really all American rights are built. Right, if

188
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: you cannot speak, and that's why the whole thing when

189
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Clay and I were talking about the trial in New

190
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: York and there was that you know that imbecile swallwell,

191
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: oh you can't say that, Clay. When that was going on,

192
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, if you can't talk about a trial,

193
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and what's justin unjust? We do we by definition, do

194
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: not live in a free society. And when the people

195
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: who are supposed to be the most stalwart defendant, defenders

196
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: of defendant trial, defenders of the First Amendment, when they

197
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: are on the other side, it's not even that they

198
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: refuse to do their job. They have joined the enemies

199
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: of the First Amendment. They are part of the censorship apparatus.

200
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: They are going above and beyond to silence people who

201
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: disagree with them or who just refuse to carry the

202
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: water of the communist democrat left in this country. When

203
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: you reach that point, you see that we're actually at

204
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: a dangerous moment in time for our most basic freedoms.

205
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into more of this Catherine mar

206
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: lady in a sect because she's amazing. I'm telling you,

207
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: she is the perfect NPR CEO. All of her positions.

208
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: I've got her tweets here, and what you need to know.

209
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: If you're saying, oh, buck, I don't even listen to NPR,

210
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: I don't even care. Her mentality is reflected in the

211
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: executive suites of every major newspaper and news organization that

212
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: is not explicitly right of center in America, and every

213
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: editorial room, every newsroom for a for a publication that

214
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: would not be identified by the left as conservative, so right,

215
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: whether whether you would say the Wall Street Journal is

216
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: conservative or not. Guess what the left thinks. It's very conservative.

217
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: They think it's ultra right wing. They're crazy. This is

218
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: an exploration of the mindset of the censorious, totalitarian left,

219
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: and that's why I think it's so fascinating. But also

220
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Uri Berliner guy. It's too much for

221
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: him after twenty years. If you've been working at NPR

222
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: for twenty years, how crazy must NPR be for you

223
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: to finally say, for twenty years I was okay with

224
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: these commies, but now they've gone too far. You know,

225
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: in a sense, he shows what I've been saying now

226
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: for over a decade. The acceleration of the lunist from

227
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the left is very real, and it's happening all the time.

228
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: This is not the same Democrat party it was ten

229
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: or twenty years ago. It's certainly not the same media

230
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: that it was. So we'll discuss and if any of

231
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: you have any funny NPR anecdotes, I would love to

232
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: hear them, or just you know, if you've listened to

233
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: NPR recently and you found yourself, if you're in the

234
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: car and you're looking for Clay and Buck on the

235
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: AM and all of a sudden you find yourself listening

236
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: to NPR, it's like an assault on your ear drums

237
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. But I know it can be

238
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: very melodic sounding. It's like, oh, well, today we're talking

239
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: about the best way to make a summer salad. You know,

240
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: I know, I know they sneak that stuff in there.

241
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two A two two eight a two. You know,

242
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: we get to the truth on a whole range of

243
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: topics here every day on this program. And that's the

244
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: mission that Clay and I have, But that's also the

245
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: mission that our friend Mark Chakin has when he covers

246
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: US stocks. He wants to cut through the noise and

247
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: the nonsense. He's not looking to follow the herd. He's

248
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to show people who believe in

249
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: his research, in his work, how to make money in

250
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the markets by going against the most obvious front page

251
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: stuff from their journal, by finding things that others don't see,

252
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: including their media, and in AI stocks, all the hype

253
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: around all that stuff. Mark knows what's real and what's not,

254
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: and he's saying right now is a new dawn for

255
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: US stocks. He predicts dozens of specific companies will be

256
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: impacted in just the next ninety days. That's why Mark

257
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: has agreed to share one of his favorite AI stocks

258
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: to buy now with our listeners. He put everything in

259
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: a new presentation you can watch for free at twenty

Speaker 1: You will appreciate this buck.

267
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: As I was waiting to get on the elevator this

268
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: morning at the studio in Seattle, there was one other

269
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: guy waiting for the elevator. He saw me come up

270
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: waiting beside him, pulled his mask out of his back pocket,

271
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: put it on his face to ride with his mask

272
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: on in the elevator with me up one floor. He

273
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: was on floor two. I was on floor four. He

274
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: was standing in the lobby perfectly fine. I can only

275
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: manage the panic that he felt when I walked up

276
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: near him, and as a result, it was that's just

277
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: kind of I thought that epitomized, even though I've only

278
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: been here a little bit because yesterday I was in

279
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: Atlanta and I had the late night flight out here.

280
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: But I thought that kind of a pit of my

281
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: Seattle for me. Guy standing in a lobby with no

282
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: mask on. I walk up beside him. He's literally going

283
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: up one one elevator floor right. He's on the elevator

284
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: for thirty seconds. Puts a full mask on for purposes

285
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: of that of that drive.

286
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: Have you be honest? I mean, you've been very honest

287
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: about your feelings about the Crown as somebody who's currently

288
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Were you ever made to watch by your

289
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: wife Grey's Anatomy and did you feel like everything was

290
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: always actually gray and swimming in estrogen? I you know what,

291
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a Gray's Anatomy episode,

292
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think Laura has ever watched Gray's Anatomy.

293
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: So I may have dodged a bullet there because I

294
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: know it was a very popular show. But I remember

295
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: all of the attention on that show back in the day,

296
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: and I always felt like people were speaking a different language.

297
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Because I've never seen Rasier is the far superior Seattle show.

298
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, oh yeah, Frasier was a very

299
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: rat show back. I want to tell you.

300
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 3: Born from the tragedy of nine to eleven, the Son

301
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: of the Towers Foundations supported our nation's heroes and their

302
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: families ever since. Heroes like Marine Corps Sergeant Adam Mayo.

303
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: Mayo served our nation for over seven years before he

304
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: was severely injured during training. He was left paralyzed from

305
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: the chest down limiting his ability to move around his

306
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: home independently. Tunnel the Towers paid Sergeant Mayo's mortgage, removing

307
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: a financial burden for him and his family. The foundation

308
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: gave him a specially adapted smart home designed for his

309
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: specific needs. Tunnel Towers helps countless injured service members and

310
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: first responders. They do the same for gold Star families

311
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: and the families of fallen first responders. The foundations also

312
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: committed to eradicating veteran homelessness.

313
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: They do incredible work.

314
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: We are very happy to partner with them at Crockett

315
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: Coffee and you can join Tunnel to Towers on its

316
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: mission to do good. Ninety five cents of every dollar

317
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: goes directly to their programs. That's Tunnel to Towers T

318
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 3: two t dot org.

319
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: We're talking a bit about NPR and the media meltdown

320
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: going on over there. Will dive into that's moral stick

321
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: some of your calls, but letting you know, coming up

322
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: the next hour, Clay is still having cable news hosts

323
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: calling for him to be incarcerated, which I think is

324
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: very mean and also very stupid, But they are, there

325
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: are still some of them out there. They will I

326
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: play with this audience. We'd get you out, buddy. Don't

327
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: worry about it. There's no I'm in Seattle.

328
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: I mean, if I were going to be arrested in

329
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: a city, I would put Seattle top five most likely

330
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: cities to arrest me.

331
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely would not be where I would

332
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: want to be facing whoever the district attorney is there.

333
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that, and also the the from the White

334
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: House furor over the market rate that you get if

335
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you pay a play in the w nb A. People

336
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: are very upset that when you have very few fans

337
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: and make very little money, you don't pay people that

338
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: work in that industry all that much money, you know.

339
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: I mean, WNBA buck has never made a dollar of

340
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: profit in over twenty five years of existence. I just

341
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: don't understand when when I was a high school soccer coach,

342
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: I was doing important work, and I loved that job

343
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: and had a lot of fun, and I just think

344
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: I should have been paid a million dollars. I don't

345
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: know why that seems fair to me. I think a

346
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: million dollars for one season is fair. Question.

347
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: How many businesses exist that have not made money for

348
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: twenty five straight years? Can we put it in it

349
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: because I want us to come back to this with

350
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: the White House and the whole thing, because other right

351
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 3: now we're see it's.

352
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: Like waving the stake and the food by it. It's

353
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: waving the stake in front of the lion cage. With

354
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: Clay when you talk about the WNBA salary situation, I

355
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: know he wants to dive into it. We're gonna get

356
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: into that next hour. We got a little more here though,

357
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: on the resignation of this longtime NPR editor because he

358
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: basically I'm translating what he said here, but he's like,

359
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: these people are out of their minds, Like this whole

360
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: thing is a joke. Nobody here is trying to be

361
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: nonpart is in and we all know this, and I

362
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: know that's a part of it, but this is exposing

363
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: it in a way that it goes yet again, you know,

364
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: on the on the wall of shame for journalism. Uh

365
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: And and this, Catherine mar Lady is a perfect, a

366
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: perfect example of why if you're a conservative right now,

367
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: there are places that they would even consider hiring you

368
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: or letting you work. Ever, I mean, they would be

369
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: offended if you even send in your resume to them.

370
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: And it's effectively all news organizations that are not consideracy.

371
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: There are some that won't that would say that they're

372
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: not right wing right, but the left would say their

373
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: right wing because they're not explicitly left wing. I know

374
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: that can be a little garbled, but that's that's the

375
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: reality of the media landscape. It's who the left thinks

376
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: is right wing, because that just means you're not insane.

377
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: And Catherine, here we go. Here's some of the best ones.

378
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: These are tweets from the head of NPR, which does

379
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: get your tax dollars whether you want it to or not.

380
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: She tweeted this one out, clay Or, I don't know.

381
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: The planet is literally burning, and it took until my

382
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: early thirties to stop living paycheck to paycheck, and maybe

383
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: giant ethical gamble for children in question has become clear, unless,

384
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: of course, you're suffused with enough privilege to not to

385
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: have to wonder the language choices and words here, Clay,

386
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: I always find this fascinating. If you go watch old

387
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: like old spy movies and things, there's a mechanistic way

388
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: that KGB agents and Soviet bureaucrats speak about things. There's

389
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: words you know about the party and comrade, and to

390
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: show people that they are obedient to the narrative. We

391
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: have the same thing in this country with the left.

392
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean what she's saying here, the way she's constructing it,

393
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: none of this is meant to make any sense. It's

394
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: all meant to show everyone I am down for the cause. Buck.

395
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: There's also now more information on this. This is from

396
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal, sorry New York Times, about fifty

397
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: NPR ploys has Ben Mullen. Fifty NPR employees signed a

398
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: letter to the CEO and the top editor calling for,

399
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 3: among other things, a public rebuke of quote the factual

400
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 3: inaccuracies and delisions in Uri Berliner's Free Press essay. So

401
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: they're still not over the fact that their objectivity could

402
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: be questioned in any way, and they are now demanding

403
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: a public rebuke of the things that were said based

404
00:23:54,280 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: on his article. So this is again, I know you

405
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 3: were talking about this in the open. If the Republican

406
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: Party were in any way competent, and we understand that

407
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: in many ways it is not, they would do a

408
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 3: full dive into every dollar that NPR gets, and they

409
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: would legitimately go after any funding that is directly or

410
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 3: indirectly taxpayer related that NPR gets, because NPR fights so

411
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: hard to claim that it isn't government sponsored media, because

412
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: they actually are getting tons of money, and you guys know,

413
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: and Monday was a tax day everybody's still recovering from.

414
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: But if you give accountants the opportunity to do the books,

415
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: they can try to create revenue that doesn't look like

416
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: it's direct, and it actually is, but they're claiming that

417
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: it's indirect because of the way the money is spent

418
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: based on what was published by Uri Berliner. There should

419
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: never be another direct or indirect dollar that NPR gets,

420
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: and they should have to live on their own in

421
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: the capitalist marketplace, and right now they seem terrified at

422
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: the idea that they should have to do so. But

423
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting that all of these employees, who

424
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: are all left wing Democrats, are demanding that this one guy,

425
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 3: who also, by the way, is a Democrat, that he

426
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: not be allowed to have the opinion that they are

427
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: rigging the entire editorial process. Oh and I've got more

428
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: tweets from the NPR CEO here that we could have

429
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 3: some fun with. This one was particularly great. She wrote,

430
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: anyone and these are all from the last couple of years.

431
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: Doesn't really matter what the date is, because we're just

432
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,959
Speaker 3: showing the mindset anyone else. Love watching the credits at

433
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 3: the end of a movie or show, just to marvel

434
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 3: at the diversity of names and surnames involved. Always gives

435
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: me happy goosebumps to see the world scroll by. She

436
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 3: gets goosebumps when they're running the names at the end

437
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: of a movie like this is a crazy Really, I

438
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: just believe everybody else is either fast forwarding, pressing stop,

439
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: or walking out of the room. Nobody cares.

440
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: But she gets goosebumps when she sees the credits at

441
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: the end of a movie. What is this? Like? This

442
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: is not normal stuff, Clay, there's something wrong with people

443
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: that think this way. Well, I mean they're in a cult.

444
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's where you have to start.

445
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: The woke cult requires that you take leaps of faith

446
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 3: and put out statements that are clearly objectively not in

447
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: any way related to the truth, right, And they've replaced

448
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: religion with this ideology of genuflection at the altar of Dei.

449
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: And what's disappointing is that someone like this could rise

450
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: to the level of management because the one thing you

451
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: would want is if I were sort of waving a

452
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: magic wand and saying what do I want? As who

453
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: do I want as the head of a journalistic organization,

454
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: I would say, I want somebody who's super open minded

455
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: and willing to consider that he or she might be

456
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 3: wrong and follow the facts wherever they lead. That's what

457
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 3: journalism at its essence used to do. That no longer occurs.

458
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 3: These are propagandists, and I guess that's fine, But allowing

459
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 3: them to masquerade as independent arbiters of truth is where

460
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: I think all of media has lost its way.

461
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, this is also why it's so important for them

462
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: to keep up this. It's a fig leaf, right, It's

463
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: a facade of neutrality because if they are open about

464
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: what they do. And CNN has just gone through this, right,

465
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: CNN lost the facade. It lost that veil of false

466
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: neutrality when it went so psychotically anti Trump purged all

467
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: of the conservatives on the on air pay roll like

468
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: it was no longer possible, and Zucker got ousted. Right

469
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: because of it, you go into the Biden era. Now

470
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: what do you do? You can't just talk about Trump

471
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: all day long. We've got a bunch of lunatic left

472
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: wingers posing as newsmen and women. So they had to

473
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: do a whole reshuffle there, because if you're one, they

474
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: want to present it as truth, not opinion. That's always

475
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: the sense, because that's more powerful, right for political purposes. Oh,

476
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: we're not telling you what we think. We're telling you

477
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: what is true. And the only way to really achieve

478
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: that is to be either factual entirely, which they're not,

479
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: or honest about where you come from and say this

480
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: is the truth as I see it. You are free

481
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: to disagree. They lie. They won't do that, CNN won't

482
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: do that, and NPR won't do that. And then the

483
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: other part of it is clay. This is also how

484
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: they can avoid having to defend their positions publicly. Meaning

485
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: you know what would happen if you and I walked

486
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, that either of us, both

487
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: of us together, I mean, they would have heart attacks.

488
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: But we walk in the New York Times editorial room

489
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, guys, we want to talk

490
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: to you about let's have a conversation about the following issue.

491
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: They'd get smoked, and they know they'd get they probably.

492
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: Up, probably put their masks on first, like they double

493
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: mask when they saw you coming.

494
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: I Tamperor, he's very upset at you. It's ridiculous. But no,

495
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: you're right. They they don't.

496
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: And and this, to me was the lesson of the

497
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: only real debate we've seen in the past few years,

498
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: which was Gavin Newsom versus Ron DeSantis. Gavin Newsom got

499
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: fullaid because he's been protected by the media for so

500
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: long that suddenly, when he wasn't able to spread easy,

501
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: refutable wise about his uh tenure as governor of California,

502
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: DeSantis absolutely destroyed him. And I think that's what should

503
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: happen when these ideas end up in the marketplace and

504
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: are legitimately debated.

505
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I also think there was a greater willingness by Democrats

506
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: in the media to debate fifteen twenty years ago because

507
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: some of their positions were more debatable. Yes, you know

508
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: it was. It's it's far less insane if they if

509
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: somebody wants to sit down and have an argument with

510
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: me over whether the top marginal tax rate should be

511
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: forty seven percent instead of I think it's thirty nine

512
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: or thirty seven now I can't even remember. But what

513
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: just made my taxes whatever it is. You know, there's

514
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: an argument, like I would disagree with them, I think

515
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: taxes should be lower. But there's an argument. They could say, well,

516
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: here's how he would direct the spending. They'd be lying

517
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: because the spending never goes what they say. But I'm

518
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: just saying, there's an argument you had. When I sit

519
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: there and I'm like that guy, he has a penis,

520
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: he is a man, and they're like, no, you're a bigot.

521
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: What are we even going to talk about? You know

522
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's a trans woman. What are we

523
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: even going to talk about?

524
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: They don't even argue with you. They immediately go to

525
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: personal attack. I've got a funny one that was I

526
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: think I sent it to you guys after we went

527
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: off the air yesterday and one of the many angry

528
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: left wing responses to my jury analysis earlier this week.

529
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: I'll share it with you we come back. I think

530
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: you'll get a good laugh from it.

531
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Eight hundred two two two eight h two light

532
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: up those lines. And I was just showing it to

533
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: some friends yesterday. I said, have you guys seen my

534
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Liberty Safe? It's pretty cool because it looks awesome. It's

535
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: super strong. It's an incredibly well made safe, made here

536
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: in America for the security of Americans' valuables. You see

537
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: these stories about overseas international burglary gangs. Totally true. You

538
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: can go check this out online. Who come here and

539
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: all they do is just very very adeptly unfortunately, sneaking

540
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: to homes and steal all your valuables. And they're really

541
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: good at it, and then they go back overseas where

542
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: they come from. This is a thing that's happening. If

543
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: you don't have a safe, it's so easy for them.

544
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: If you have a safe, guess what, They're going to

545
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: go to someone else's house, probably right, because who wants

546
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: to deal with that. Liberty safe you need to have

547
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: one in your home where you keep the cash you

548
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: have on hand, your precious metals, watches, jewelry, deeds, documents

549
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: that you really need. You got to keep it all safe. Also,

550
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: It just makes sense because then you have it where

551
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: you need it, when you need it. Liberty safes are

552

Speaker 3: Off worth noting that the truck trial is not taking

563
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: place on Wednesday, but they have now gone out buck

564
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: and they have seven different jurors, and maybe in the

565
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: next hour we've got limited descriptions of those jurors, some

566
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: of them cautiously, maybe some reason for optimism. Again, there's

567
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: only a couple of sentence that their sentence is that

568
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: they're allowed to give to describe them. But I was

569
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: reading last night that seven. It does mean that they're

570
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: seeding this jury faster than frankly I thought they would,

571
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: because the first day was pretty slow. I didn't think

572
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: they would have seven jurors by Tuesday. Telling you, everything

573
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: is warp speed when it comes to getting Trump Monday.

574
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 3: It seems likely that we are going to basically get

575
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: the rest of the jury seated, and then there's a

576
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: decent chance I think the week after that that they

577
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: could or maybe they'll start Monday. I don't know's it's moving.

578
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: The fact that they got the jury this fast is

579
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: kind of stunning to me.

580
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm also coming around more and more to I think

581
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: house arrest is where this is heading. If they get

582
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: a conviction. I think that's what to try to keep

583
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: them off the trail and make him stay up mar

584
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: A Lago, because I think their calculation is is then

585
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: he's a convicted felon. Again, I'm thinking I'm sitting on

586
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: the you know, enemy side of the table here, folks,

587
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: that he's uh, he'd be a convicted felon. He's not

588
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: in you know, in a prison cell. He'd be in

589
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: Trump Tower in New York City. So like, no one's

590
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna feel bad for him. He'll be perfectly safe. The

591
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: Secret Service will you know, protect him, and but it

592
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: would keep him from being able to do what he

593
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: needs to do for fundraise, you know what I'm saying, Like,

594
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: I think that's.

595
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: The keeps him off the trail in all the Midwest

596
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: states where ultimately this election is. I want to ask

597
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 3: Andy that because Also, then I think there's just less

598
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: urgency for this thing about you're gonna lock up a

599
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: former president and it would be Riker's Island everyone, Okay,

600
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 3: I know New York City. That would be where they

601
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: would most likely try to send him, even if it

602
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: was for you know, a thirty day stint.

603
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: In the big House. But yeah, I think I think.

604
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: Buck, there's a good chance that this thing is still

605
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: going to get return overturned on appeal. And we'll ask

606
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: Andy about that because it's not just the bookkeeping charge.

607
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: It's that it has to be pegged to an additional

608
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 3: crime and the legality that I still question.

609
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: But doesn't the judge. I mean, the judge can decide

610
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: whether you're in or out pending appeal right.

611
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: In theory, although usually and again this is a good

612
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 3: question for Andy, when it's not a severe felony, they

613
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: would say, Okay, we're going to bring you back and

614
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: allow a sentencing to occur. I don't know a month

615
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: or two from this event, right, and many normal may

616
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,360
