1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Welcome in the final show of the year for Buck

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: and myself. Buck is out already getting ready for Christmas.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: I know many of you are out and about because

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: two of my three kids are done with school and

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: the third may be coming home right now from finishing

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: his last exam, and it is bonkers everywhere with all

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: the kids out and all the holiday festivity underway. We

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: hope all of you are having a very merry Christmas.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: There are going to be more shows, We will have

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: guest hosts. We've got a special Christmas Eve edition for

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: all of you that no one has heard at all,

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: and we have a bunch of best of Yes, there

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: are actually best of versions of this show. But I

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: want to start off by saying thank you, thank you,

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: thank you for making twenty four, twenty twenty four, I think,

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: one of the best years in our nation's history and

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: culminating it by giving Donald Trump a landslide victory. And

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: I know I speak for both Buck and myself when

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I say it has been an incredible privilege to get

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: to spend twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: and now twenty twenty four with all of you, and

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I think this audience made a tremendous difference when it

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: came to the twenty twenty four presidential election. So I

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: want to start off today's show by saying thank you.

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: We lectured a lot about the importance of getting out

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: and voting, and you guys responded in a monumental fashion

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: this year, and it has been such an incredibly fun

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: journey with all of you, and I can't wait for

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five because I think we're gonna have a

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I think we're going to have a

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of winning going on in this country, but today's show,

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: we're going to have a lot of fun. But also

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I just want all of you to understand our profound

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: gratitude that we get to talk to you, the largest

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: radio audience in the country, and I know a lot

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: of you are listening to this on podcasts, so we

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: appreciate all of you and YouTube and however you find

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: this show. We say thanks to you. So let's talk

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: about some of the fun. I want to give you

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: a roadmap of where we're going. By the way, I'm

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: not diving in to will there be a shutdown or

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: won't there be a shutdown? I feel like we have

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: gone through this so many times. Eventually they're going to

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: sign off on the budget. They're going to spend too

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: much money, and we're going to come back in in

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and they're probably going to do the

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: same thing again. So spoiler alert, there is going to

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: be no profound victory in this dispute. We're still going

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to spend way too much money and we're going to

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: be two trillion dollars in debt in this year's budget

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: and next year's budget, and most people have decided that

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: deficits don't matter, and there seems to be no imperative

53
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: or interest to try to solve them. But I'm not

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: going to be the Grinch today. I'm not gonna be

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: Ba hug Bug. I'm not gonna be Ebeneezer Scrooge. I'm

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna have some fun with all of you. So let

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: me give you a roadmap of where we're gonna go.

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Uh start off the show today. I want the worst

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: takes that you heard in twenty twenty four. If you

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: follow me on social media, you know that I have

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: shared my two already. You can find me at Clay Travis.

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to play them for all of you. And

63
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: it's not just that they're the worst takes of twenty

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: twenty four in my opinion. But I want to hear

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: all of yours eight hundred two eight two two eight

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: a two Did I get that right? Already screwed up

67
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the phone number, But I want to hear from all

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: of you what you think the worst takes are. We're

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: going to play these for you. I'm gonna talk to

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you about with Biden coming to a close in his tenure, mercifully,

71
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: where does his presidency rank? And how would I rank

72
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the presidents that have existed for my lifetime? So I'm young,

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: but I'm going to give you the opportunity to weigh

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: in as well. An hour two and then you guys

75
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: know I was in Israel last week. I want to

76
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: end with an inspiring idea and a series of thoughts.

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm working right now on a long form piece about

78
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: my trip to Israel. There's so many details to get right,

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: there's so many aspects to it. I'm going to hopefully

80
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: get it up on OutKick on Monday. I know that

81
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: a lot of you Israel is on your bucket list. Jerusalem.

82
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: You would love to go visit my grandparents My mom's

83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: parents were super, super religious, and on their bucket list

84
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: was to go to Jerusalem. They went in their retirement.

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: I know many of you would like to go as well.

86
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: I feel incredibly fortunate that I got to take that trip.

87
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to share with you what I

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: learned and why I think think Israel matters so much

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: as it pertains to what's going on in the United States.

90
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to make that case for you. Uh.

91
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: And of course we will be taking a variety of

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: calls throughout the course of the program as well. Eight

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: hundred and two two two eight eight two. Okay, worst

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: takes of twenty twenty four. I said yesterday that I

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: don't think Buck and I had any truly awful takes,

96
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: meaning things that when you go back and everything's on

97
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: transcript and you listen to it, you think, oh, my goodness,

98
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: you guys are complete morons. That can happen? I do.

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I love the sports gamble. Anybody who has ever bet

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: on a sporting event, you look like a moron basically

101
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: half the time, because you look at the game, you

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: analyze it, you consider what you think is going to happen,

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: and then you put your wager down and then it

104
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: might blow up completely in your face. And even if

105
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: you're the greatest gam of all time, you only win

106
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: about fifty five percent of the time. Otherwise you're biff

107
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: in back to the future too, and you end up

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the richest human who's ever existed. So most sports gamblers

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: lose money. The greatest ever win fifty five percent of

110
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: the time. That means they lose forty five percent of

111
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: the time. That's the reality. Okay, So I'm open to

112
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: the idea some of you may have awful, big time

113
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: lunatic predictions that you remember from this program that we

114
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: got wrong. I don't think we had any We've gotten

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: things wrong before, as anybody who makes predictions does. But

116
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: I think we almost nailed between the two of us

117
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: everything all year long that was likely to happen. We

118
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: got all the Trump law fair correct, We got the

119
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: election correct. I was right at least one of the

120
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: two of us was got a great stake for it

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: about whether or not Biden would be the nominee. Buck

122
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: got right that jd Vance would be the VP pick

123
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: when nobody was talking about Van's as the VP pick.

124
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: So I think if you go back and assess this

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: show overall, you would have to say we got a

126
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: lot right. But open phone lines if you can think

127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: of something that we got completely wrong. That is not

128
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: an opinion, you know, a prediction. For instance, some of

129
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: you like to play flutes. The flute I think is

130
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: not an instrument that anybody should play. Don't think men

131
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: look particularly masculine play in the flute. That's my opinion.

132
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm right, and if you disagree, you're wrong. But that's

133
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: not exactly what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about

134
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: something we told you that we just completely whipped on.

135
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Like.

136
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example from a couple of years ago.

137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I thought that to twenty twenty two elections we would

138
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: have a red tsunami. I thought that herschel Walker would win.

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: I thought that Doctor Oz would win. I thought that

140
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: Carrie Lake would win. I was wrong on all those elections.

141
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four we finally got our red wave red tsunami.

142
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty two I think it got delayed by

143
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision, and Democrats were able to

144
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. That would be my thesis for

145
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: how to shake out. So if we'd been doing the

146
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: show at the end of twenty twenty two, you certainly

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: could have been like, hey, Clay, you totally whiffed on

148
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: that one. That was correct. But twenty twenty four, I

149
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: think we got almost everything right. You know who did

150
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: not get almost everything right? Morning, Joe Joe Scarborough. Well

151
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: let's save that one. That is my number one overall

152
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: biggest whiff from any media member in twenty twenty four.

153
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: But let's go first to Nicole Wallace. This is my

154
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: running up the near champion. Joe Scarborough just barely edged

155
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: out Nicole Wallace, both MSNBC prognosticators in June of twenty

156
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: twenty four, after all these videos of Joe Biden clearly

157
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: being mentally and physically unable to do the job were

158
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: going viral all over the internet. Do you remember what

159
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: the decision was, what the talking points were back in

160
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: June of twenty twenty four before the presidential debate between

161
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Biden and Trump on June twenty seventh, If you recall,

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: the debate was were they or were they not? Cheap fakes?

163
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they made up that phrase, They

164
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: said that the videos of Biden looking unable to do

165
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the job were cheap fakes. One of the foremost proponents

166
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre, but she is at least a professional liar.

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: That's her job. To a certain extent. Here was Nicole Wallace,

168
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: who likes to think she's smarter than everybody else in

169
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,359
Speaker 1: the media, saying, you're being lied to the Klay Traviss,

170
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: the buck Sextons of the world, the ones telling you

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: that Joe doesn't have the mental or physical capacity to

172
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: be president, and the videos they're sharing, those are cheap fakes.

173
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: Listen, there's a growing and insidious trend in right wing

174
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: media broadcasts, print and social media. It is to take

175
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly

176
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: from Republican National Committee social media accounts, and then use

177
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: those videos to spread messages virally to cast out on

178
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: President Biden's fitness for office. Both the articles are based

179
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: on cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally

180
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: manipulated to fool viewers, released on an R and C

181
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: opposition research social media account with zero independent fact checking

182
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: by these so called journalists, and spread throughout the right

183
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: wing ecosystem.

184
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: Okay, they really tried to tell all of us that

185
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: they were cheap fakes, and that we were lying to

186
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: you with the stories that we were telling about Joe

187
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: Biden not being mentally or physically up to the job. Guys, gals,

188
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: this is the biggest lie of the twenty first century.

189
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: I really do believe that Joe Biden was mentally and

190
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: physically capable of being president for the last couple of years.

191
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: That he was able was a lie, and it was

192
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: dangerous for our country. But to argue that he could

193
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: be president for four more years, that that man, I'm

194
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: not even sure he's going to be alive, That that

195
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: man should be raising his right hand on January twentieth,

196
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and be president until January of twenty

197
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine. They tried to make that argument to you,

198
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: and they tried to lecture all of us who were saying,

199
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: this is dangerous. We need to be careful here. This

200
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: guy doesn't have the mental and physical capacity to be president.

201
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: They went on MSNBC June of twenty twenty four and

202
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: tried to argue that the videos we were all seeing,

203
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: that they were actually cheap fakes, even though they were

204
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: from legitimate White House press events. They were arguing they

205
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: weren't real. Okay. That is my run up nominee for

206
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: the absolute worst most dishonest take of twenty twenty four.

207
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: The winner it's going to be Joe Scarborough on Morning

208
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Joe Buck's Favorite show. I will play it for you

209

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis but Sexton show. We're having

234
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: some fun talking about the worst takes of twenty twenty four.

235
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to some of your calls here

236
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: in a moment, because some of you do, in fact

237
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: have bad calls. You think that Buck or myself made

238
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred and two two eight a two. But my

239
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: take for the single worst opinion that was shared in

240
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Joe Scarborough on Buck's Favorite Morning Joe

241
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: program said in March of twenty twenty four, FU, if

242
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: you don't see this is the best version of Biden

243
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: there has ever been. This is real it is not

244
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately spectacular.

245
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: Listen tape right now, because I'm about to tell you

246
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: the truth, and FU if you can't handle the truth.

247
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,

248
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: not a close second.

249
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: And I've known him for years. The Prazenskis have known

250
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I

251
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it. That's the worst take of twenty twenty four.

252
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you think of Joe Biden, the idea that in

253
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty four he was the best intellectual

254
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: and analytical version of himself that he had ever been

255
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: is such an unbelievable lie that to be willing to

256
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: say it is evidence of your complicity in spreading absolute

257
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: and total propaganda. There's no way to defend that. If

258
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: you consume that product, when you know that the people

259
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: that you trust to bring you the news are lying

260
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: to you, you can no longer trust them anymore. And

261
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: I think that's really what's happening with MSNBC and CNN's

262
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: audience overnight vanishing this audience, it keeps growing in really

263
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: pretty massive numbers, and I think it's because, over time,

264
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: you weigh whether you can trust people or not. In

265
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: other words, and when I sit down in front of

266
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: this mic, am I an actor? Am I a propagandist?

267
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Am I someone who is trying to sell you something

268
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: that they don't believe at all? You can't fake radio.

269
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't really think you can. People say, hey, what's

270
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: the difference between TV radio TV? I think there are

271
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: good actors and they can fake it on some level.

272
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: You put on makeup, you put on dress up clothes,

273
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: you sit down and read off glass in front of you.

274
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: It's a very cosmetic thing. Now some of you are

275
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: watching the video version of me right now, but you

276
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: can see I'm in a T shirt. I certainly don't

277
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: have makeup on. I'm not even particularly bathed in good lighting,

278
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting in an old red chair that my

279
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: family has had for twenty years. This is not something

280
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: where people look at it think, boy, you know that

281
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Klay Travis. He looks compelling. He's a dashingly handsome man.

282
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: On this video version, I sit down in front of

283
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: the mic, and I tell you every day exactly what

284
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: I think. My wife says, the reason that I have

285
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: never needed therapy is because I've gotten to do radio

286
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years, and whatever opinions I have,

287
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: I tell you in the mic. And when I'm done,

288
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: I've got no weight on my shoulders. I feel light

289
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: as a feather. I got to say exactly what I think.

290
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: And trust me, I know that's a privilege, because you

291
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: know what. The number one thing I hear from you

292
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: guys out and about is you say what I wish

293
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I could say. Thank you. That's the number one thing

294
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: you guys tell me when I see you out and

295
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: about who listened to the program. And I don't take

296
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: that for granted, because trust me, I know what it

297
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: feels like to have to grin and bear it inside

298
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: of a company working for people you may not be

299
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: that impressed by. Because you got to make sure that

300
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: you pay that mortgage, because you've got to make sure

301
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: that you are doing whatever you can to help your

302
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: kids get into the right school to be able to

303
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: pay for it. Heck, to put Christmas presents under the

304
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: tree right now. That is the ultimate loyalty. That's the

305
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: ultimate duty that many of you feel for your kids

306
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: or your grandkids to try to make their lives a

307
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: little bit better. So I can't tell you how much

308
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: I appreciate the fact that I get to speak for

309
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: so many of you who don't feel like you are

310
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: able to say what you really think. And I think

311
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of why Donald Trump won because

312
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: we live in such a fundamentally dishonest place. But you know,

313
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett, Warren Buffett said investing ultimately comes down to

314
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: weighing the value of a company. And he said, if

315
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: you really look at the stock market over time, I

316
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: love this analogy. He said, it's really just a weighing mechanism.

317
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: You can fake things for a little while, but eventually

318
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: the value of a company is realized over time. And

319
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that's true of people who do what we

320
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: do for a living too. All of you every day

321
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: are busy and you are weighing, Hey, can I trust

322
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: that person not? Do I agree with that person all

323
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: the time? Because my argument is you should never agree

324
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: with anybody all the time. You should even question your

325
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: own opinions. If you're being honest with yourself every single day,

326
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: you should be willing to consider new data. You should

327
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: welcome the idea that you might be wrong, because that

328
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: will lead to you having stronger opinions instead of just

329
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: making a decision and deciding no matter what the evidence shows,

330
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: that you're going to stick to it. That's my advice

331
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: for all of you. Because there's so much news every day,

332
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: there's so much data, you need to constantly be challenging yourself.

333
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: But Joe Scarborough in that take the best intellectually, the

334
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: best analytical version of Biden. It's so dishonest. I don't

335
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: even know even if you were a left wing zelot,

336
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: how could you hear that? Watch Biden in the debate

337
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: on June twenty seventh, and ever trust Joe Scarborough again.

338
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: Remember he didn't just say, Hey, I'm making this opinion

339
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: from a distance. He said his wife Mika has known

340
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: Biden for fifty years. He said he himself has known

341
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: Biden for a long time too. He's telling you I

342
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: know and see things that you do not. And he

343
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: is still telling you that the best intellectual and analytical

344
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: version of Biden is the one that's going on right now. Now.

345
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: You saw how quickly everybody abandoned both the Nicole Wallace

346
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: take and the Joe Scarborough case as soon as they

347
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: had the June twenty seventh debate. But make no mistake

348
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: about what was going on there. They would have gone

349
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: to the mat for Joe Biden and argued that for

350
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: their audience all the way through the election, Just like

351
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: they tried to tell you. As soon as Biden dropped out,

352
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: they pivoted and Kamala Harris was no longer the least

353
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: popular vice presidential candidate of all time. She was a

354
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: sterling representative of the Democrat Party who could not have

355
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: done a better job. Heck, Joey Reid said, Kamala Harris

356
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: ran a flawless campaign. She said that on election night,

357
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: after everybody recognized that Kamala was going to lose, these

358
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: people lied to you, and they lied to you in

359
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: so many direct ways that it's impossible to ignore. And

360
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: I think ultimately that's why their audience is collapsing, because

361
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, if they would tell you that Biden was

362
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: the best version of himself and that videos you saw

363
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: that question that were cheap fakes, you can't trust them

364
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: on anything. And ultimately, I tell my team all the time,

365
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: what I have found that works is smart, original, funny,

366
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: and authentic. Sofa smart, original, funny, and authentic. If you

367
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: got kids or grandkids that want to get into media,

368
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: those are the four hallmarks. Not everybody can do all four,

369
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: but you got to make at least one of those smart, original, funny,

370
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: or authentic your basis for your career. You can do

371
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: all four. Congratulations, you're going to be super rich because

372
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: if you can replicate that and keep doing it over

373
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: and over against very rare. But you got to have

374
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: all four of those. And I think what you're seeing

375
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: is at places like CNN, at places like MSNBC, they're propagandists.

376
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: They're willing to get talking points and just go out

377
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: and say them even if there's no basis in reality

378
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: for them. All Right, we come back. You guys can

379
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: weigh in eight hundred and two to two eight A two.

410
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: He will be back on January sixth. He and his

411
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: lovely wife Carrie. You are taking a baby moon trip

412
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: and they are going to be on the road post Christmas.

413
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: I encourage them to do it. You may have heard

414
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: me talking about it. If you have kids or grandkids

415
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: that are expecting. One piece of advice if you're first,

416
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: because once you have one, two and three and four,

417
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: I mean everybody knows, it's pure chaos, almost impossible to

418
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: do anything. I do. Give anybody that I hear is

419
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: having their first baby the advice plan a really awesome

420
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: trip just the two of you go away because you

421
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: are going to be in the firing line as parents

422
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: for a long time. Best bit of advice I got,

423
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: and it's proven to be so true. Once you have

424
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: young kids, you don't go on vacation, you go anymore.

425
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: You go on family trips, and a lot of you

426
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: right now are going to be on family trips during

427
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the holidays, and you know exactly what I'm talking about.

428
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: Actually more tiring than just going and working, cause you're

429
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: chasing kids around everywhere. If you've got young kids, you

430
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: go to the beach, or you go to the pool.

431
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. You got to be

432
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: on them like a hawk to make sure they're not

433
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: in the water. It is not relaxing. It is a

434
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: family trip, not a vacation until your kids get old

435
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: enough where they can kind of take care of themselves.

436
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Take that baby moon. Buck is going to be taking

437
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: a baby moon he and Carrie as they get ready.

438
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: We're excited to have their first baby in April. It's

439
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: going to be super awesome. Couple of hours. Encourage you

440
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: to download the podcast. We've had some fun worse takes

441
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. An hour one. I gave you

442
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: my presidential ratings of my lifetime since nineteen eighty. A

443
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: lot of you reacting to that, and I thought there

444
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: would be. You know, it's controversial, you're raking presidents. What's

445
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: mostly in my comments right now are people who are

446
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosier fans upset because I said Notre Dame's going

447
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: to blow you out today. Sorry, Indiana fans, Notre Dame

448
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: is going to wreck you. That's the first college football

449
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: playoff game taking place in snowy South Bend tonight. I

450
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: thought people were gonna be like, I can't believe you've

451
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: got so and so president. There's some of that. Actually,

452
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: a lot of you agree with my rankings overall. But

453
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: the number one thing in my comments right now I

454
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: just jumped in is my entire instagram is just all Indiana.

455
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Hoo's your fans furious at me for saying what I

456
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: think is gonna be the reality, which is Notre Dame

457
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: is gonna blow you out. But I wanted to start

458
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: off this final hour by saying again what I said

459
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: at the top of the show to start today, Thank you.

460
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: I think because of you, guys, twenty twenty four has

461
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: been one of the most monumental years in American history.

462
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: And if you think about what we have all just

463
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: experienced together just since June. Joe Biden gets obliterated by

464
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on June twenty seventh in the presidential debit

465
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: eight late July, well was it July thirteenth, Trump comes

466
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: within a quarter of an inch in Butler, Pennsylvania of

467
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: having his head blown off on live television. Mercifully, by

468
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: the grace of God, his ear is clipped and he survives.

469
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how much different the world is today

470
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: if that assassin had been successful. July twenty first, Trump

471
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: suddenly finds out he's got a new opponent because Joe

472
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Biden drops out, Kamala Harris gets elevated. They will be

473
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: writing books about twenty twenty four, long after all of

474
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: us are gone, as one of the craziest presidential elections

475
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: and years ever. And I feel incredibly fortunate that we

476
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: all got to spend that year together that we were

477
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: on Buck and I doing our best to fight the

478
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: good fight for fifteen hours a week. And I appreciate

479
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: all of you. And I've been thinking a lot about

480
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: the future, really as a dad or a granddad, or

481
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: a mom or a grandma. I know that a lot

482
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: of you think about this as well, but in particular

483
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: at a lot of time to think on the trip

484
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: that I made to Israel, and one of the things

485
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: that has stood out to me about twenty twenty four

486
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: is good and evil is real. And I really think

487
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: it's important to understand that because one of the things

488
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: we learned in twenty twenty four that is alarming for me,

489
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: and I think we have to fix in the years ahead.

490
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Is a lot of our young people have lost the

491
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: ability to distinguish between good and evil. And I know

492
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: it's a holiday season, and I want to think about

493
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: I want you to think about this with me, if

494
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: you would. I wanted to save this final hour to

495
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: have this conversation with all of you, because I know

496
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you are going to be sitting around

497
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: your Christmas tables, variety of different ages, having conversations across generations.

498
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of young people. And there

499
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: are some signs that are really positive I think about

500
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: young people in this nation. I'll give you a positive

501
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: before I dive into the things that have me a

502
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: bit troubled. Young men in this country showed up and

503
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump in enormous numbers. The biggest, according

504
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Journal swing in voting of any

505
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: group was young men went from Biden plus fourteen in

506
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty to Trump plus fourteen in twenty twenty four. Now,

507
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: there are a variety of different polls out there, but

508
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm specifically referencing the voter analysis from the Wall Street Journal.

509
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: That's a seismic twenty eight point swing young men. I

510
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: believe are done with the BS and they realize they've

511
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: been lied to. And I think a lot of young

512
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: women are starting to see it too. For COVID, imagine

513
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: if you were sixteen years old and suddenly they shut

514
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: down your high school and you didn't get to go

515
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: to prom, and you didn't get to finish your basketball

516
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: season or your soccer season, and you didn't get to

517
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: hang out with your friends that summer because they shut

518
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: down all the different hiking trails, and they shut down

519
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: the public basketball courts, they shut down the beaches, the

520
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: swimming pools, and then they told you, hey, Joe Biden,

521
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: sharp as attack, you're profoundly distrustful now of the government

522
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: at large. And I think this is going to be

523
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: a big story going forward. But also so here's what

524
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: troubles me young people, and I don't think we talked

525
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 1: about this, but according to a poll, forty one to

526
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: forty percent thought that the murder of that United Healthcare

527
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: CEO is justified. Young people on many college campuses from

528
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: the East coast at Colombia to the West coast at

529
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: UCLA overwhelmingly set up protests on campus to say that

530
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: the Palestinians were the force for good and the Jewish

531
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: people were the force for evil in the Middle East.

532
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: If you cannot distinguish between good or evil, we are

533
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: in a really dangerous place as a society. And coming

534
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: back from Israel, I want to share some of the stories,

535
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: and I'm putting it in my own words, but producer

536
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: Ali he was there with me, and Andrew, who is

537
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: our tech engineer, was there for a lot of these

538
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: conversations as well. There were three experiences with Israelis that

539
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: I had that really stood out, and I want to

540
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: tell you each of their stories, what I learned from

541
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: them and why I think it's important in the United

542
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: States because some people I read hop in every now

543
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: and the mentions, they're like, why should I care what

544
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: goes on in Israel? Maybe some of you out there

545
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: of that opinion. Maybe some of you are misguided and

546
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: you actually think that Israel is the force for evil

547
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. Maybe you've consumed content making those arguments.

548
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to tell you that what happens in Israel,

549
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: I believe echoes with what happens with Western civilization going forward,

550
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: and one of the profound evils that has taken root

551
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: in this country that we have to destroy, I believe,

552
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: is the idea that America is not a force for good,

553
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: that our history is evil, and as a result that

554
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: any of our founding fathers or the documents that they created,

555
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: whether it's Declaration of Independence, whether it's Constitution, whether it's

556
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights, all of it should be destroyed

557
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: because they don't have the moral legitimacy to have created it. Understand,

558
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: that's what attacking this country's founding is actually about. It's

559
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: about delegitimizing our history to such an extent that we

560
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: got to rename Washington, DC, or we got to tear

561
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: down the Jefferson Memorial because Thomas Jefferson happened to have

562
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: owned slaves, or all of these different attacks which are

563
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: predicated on the idea that we should define people not

564
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: by the best thing they did, but by the worst

565
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: thing they did. And to me, what Judeo Christian culture

566
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: largely coalesces around is the idea of aspiring to be

567
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: better versions than ourselves and offering people forgiveness and redemption

568
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: when they are the worst version of their selves. Now,

569
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: every single person out there listening to me knows that

570
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: inherently in all of your lives if people in the

571
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: public arena defined you by the worst thing that you

572
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: ever did, you would look like a profoundly awful human being.

573
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: If every single person listening right now, if the worst

574
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: thing that you ever did suddenly went public on social

575
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: media and everybody saw it, you would be defined in

576
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: this modern era as an awful human being, and you

577
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: might go viral for it, and everybody would judge you

578
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: based on it. And I don't care who you are.

579
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Every single one of you listening to me right now,

580
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: you got something in your mind. You're like, oh, man,

581
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: if that went public, I would have been done for.

582
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: Maybe it happened twenty years ago, maybe it happened forty

583
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: years ago, maybe it happened last week. You know it

584
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: to be true. That's what the woke mind virus is doing.

585
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: They want to define us, drag us all the way

586
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: back down to the worst, most base version of ourselves

587
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: and say this is who we are. To me, what

588
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: Judeo Christian values are about is understanding that bad things

589
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: can be done, but elevating humanity to the best versions

590
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: of ourselves. When I go to Washington, DC, and I

591
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: look out and I see the Washington Monument, and I

592
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: see the Jefferson Memorial, and I see the Lincoln Memorial,

593
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: and I see the MLK Memorial and the World War

594
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: II Memorial. I don't think about the worst thing that

595
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: any of the individuals involved in those places, the Vietnam

596
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: War Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the New World War

597
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: I Memorial. I think about collect actively the best version

598
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: of ourselves and what we can accomplish. That, to me

599
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: is what Western civilization is. Embracing the best from the past,

600
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: understanding that none of us are perfect, but that we

601
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: can aspire to a higher version of ourselves, and that

602
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: that should be the goal. And that's one of the

603
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: lessons one of the things that kept resonating for me

604
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: as I traveled through Israel, which in many ways is

605
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: the birthplace of religion and also to a large extent,

606
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: the birthplace of civilization. That area is when we come back.

607
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about three stories that I

608
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: heard that I found to be profoundly moving that I

609
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: think will impact all of you from the Holy Land

610
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: here as we get closer to Christmas. I'd encourage you

611
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: to keep listening grab this. I hope these stories you'll

612
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: be able to share with your friends and family as

613
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: we move closer to Christmas, and I'm thankful that I

614
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: was able to go to Israel, a place where many

615
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: people out there dream of going your whole lives thanks

616
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: to one of our sponsors, the IFCJ, that's the International

617
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I talked about the history

618
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: of Judeo Christian relations and the aspirational goals of both

619
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: of those religions and trying to rise to a better

620
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: version of yourself and continue to be a better version

621
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: of yourself in the years ahead. That's what the IFCJ does.

622
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: From providing bomb shelters, fortified vehicles, hospital that can convert

623
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: underground to be able to protect everybody in an er

624
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: that literally can be taking place inside of a parking garage,

625
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: They're also providing Hanukkah food boxes filled with necessities to

626
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: those in need. What they do, I'm blown away by

627
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: every single day you can join and help the message

628
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,200

636
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. Awful news by the way,

637
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: and I'm going to continue, but it really ties in

638
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: with what I'm talking about right now. This is breaking news.

639
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people are injured after a car plowed

640
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: into a crowd at a German Christmas market in what

641
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: is suspected to be a terror attack. I'm reading from

642
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the New York Post. This just happened. A car plowed

643
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: into a group of people shopping at a Christmas market

644
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: in eastern Germany Friday, leaving many wounded in what officials

645
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: are saying was a targeted attack. Driver was immediately arrested

646
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: after what local outlets are calling a terror attack in

647
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: the city of Magdeburg, according to the German news outlet Build.

648
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: So more details of this are going to come out.

649
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: There's been other attacks in Christmas markets like this, but again,

650
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: this one happening in Germany and it ties in exactly

651
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about good and evil. If you attack

652
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: someone because of their religion, you're evil. Period. If Israel

653
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: put down their weapons tomorrow, the country wouldn't exist in

654
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: a week. If every Middle Eastern country put down their weapons,

655
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: there would be peace in the Middle East immediately. I

656
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: was talking as we went to break about the dad

657
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: whose son was in captivity for his twenty first and

658
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: his twenty first birth twenty first and twenty second birthday.

659
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: He said, on that day at the Nova terror attack,

660
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: they were texting with their son, and they also had,

661
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: as many of you probably do with your kids, an

662
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: ability to track their cell phones on their own cell phone,

663
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: and they said, he suddenly went silent. Imagine what it's

664
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: like to know that there's a terror attack underway at

665
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: a music festival that your son or daughter went to.

666
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: They're texting you that they can hear gunfire, that there

667
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: are terrorists approaching them, and then suddenly you don't hear

668
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: anything at all from them. That's what happened to tons

669
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: of Jewish families on October seventh, and that dad told me.

670
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: He said, all we could do was just look at

671
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: the phone, and they saw the phone moving, and they

672
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: had been talking with their son about where he needed

673
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: to go and how he could get away, and giving

674
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: him advice and telling him that there were terrorists everywhere,

675
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: thousands of them that had poured across the border. And

676
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: they said, suddenly the phone started to move, and first

677
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: they thought, oh, this is great. He's gotten in a car.

678
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: He's getting away. And as they were watching that phone,

679
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: suddenly their son's phone started going right toward Gaza, and

680
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: they were furiously they said, texting him, you're going the

681
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: wrong way. Turn around. They thought he was lost. They

682
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: could watch his phone speeding across the farm land there,

683
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: getting closer and closer to Gaza, and then they saw

684
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: it go in to Gaza and it vanished. And they

685
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: have not heard from their son in four hundred and

686
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: thirty days. Hamas took him because he's Jewish. They don't

687
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: know if he's dead. They don't know if he's alive.

688
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: The last thing they saw, the last contact they had

689
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: with their son, was his cell phone going into Gaza.

690
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: They desperately hoped maybe somebody stole the phone, maybe somebody

691
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: was running off with it. Then they found out that

692
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: he was a terrorist. Talk about good and evil. Look

693
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: into someone's eyes, who is a parent. I said, have

694
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: you can you sleep? He said no, basically hasn't been

695
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: able to sleep for four hundred and thirty days. That's evil.

696
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: Good and evil exists. It's important to call it out.

697
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: Talked with a mom Leora been Sir. She came to

698
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: Nova in Metas. She had a gun on her waistband handgun,

699
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: sat down and told me her story. On October seventh,

700
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: she was in a hospital. She had just given birth

701
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: to her third child one day before October sixth, twenty

702
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: twenty three. They all woke up that morning with missiles

703
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: being fired all over Israel. They were all told to

704
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: go into their bomb shelters. She was texting with her husband.

705
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: Her husband was back at their home with their two

706
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: older kids, young kids all five and under. Slowly from

707
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: inside the hospital with a baby nursing on her, she

708
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: became aware that terrorists had come into Israel and were

709
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: inside of her husband's kibbuts the village, murdering people. Her

710
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: mom was there. She was texting with her mom. Grandma

711
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: was in town as grandmas are because there had been

712
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: a baby born and she wanted to be able to

713
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: help with those younger kids. Her husband. They didn't have guns.

714
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: At that time, her husband stood by the door with

715
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: the biggest butcher knife he could find to try to

716
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: defend the kids if the terrorists came in. I want

717
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: you to think about that good and evil is real, Okay,

718
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: And it's emotional to hear these stories. She was texting

719
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: with her husband and with her mom. There's nobody there

720
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: to protect them. People being murdered left and right next

721
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: to them because they're Jewish. Nobody's coming. She called her brothers,

722
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: who had been in the IDF. Every eighteen year old

723
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: in Israel just about serves their country because they have to,

724
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: because people want to kill them because they're Jewish. She

725
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: texted her brothers said, get your guns. They're gonna kill

726
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: my kids and my husband and my mom, our mom.

727
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: You have to get there. Brothers got in the car

728
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: loaded up with all the guns. They could get rushed there.

729
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: There's no protection, people being murdered left and right. They

730
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: get to the door. Mercifully, they get her husband and

731
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: those kids out. They save them. They go back to

732
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: look for mom. Grandma. Grandma is sixty five years old

733
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: in a different room, different house. There, her son's found

734
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: her murdered, riddled with bullets, and when they found her.

735
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: Think about this for a minute. She was holding a

736
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: picture of her grandkids. They killed her because she was Jewish.

737
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: Evil is real. I talked with that mom, three kids,

738
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: all under five, and I said, because I saw she

739
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: was wearing that gun on her hip. She said, she's

740
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: never left the house without that gun on her hip since.

741
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: Think about that. In the hospital with a baby, she said,

742
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: she thought it's just going to be the two of us, now,

743
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: her and that baby. She thought her husband was going

744
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: to be killed. She thought her kids were going to

745
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: be killed, her mom was killed. That just happened last year,

746
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: over a thousand people murdered, but because they were Jewish.

747
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: I just told you. At the Christmas market in Germany,

748
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: somebody just drove a car through it. American college kids

749
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: protested and said, the Jews are the bad guy. A

750
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: lot of young people are saying, Hey, that United Healthcare

751
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: ceo he got murdered. Oh, the killer's the good guy.

752
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: A country is in profound difficulty in trouble when there

753
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: is not a recognition that good and evil still exist.

754
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: And it's even more dangerous when there is an inability

755
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: to tell between the two and what happened there. It's

756
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: already happened here right on nine to eleven. We know it.

757
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: There are people in this country right now who want

758
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: to kill us because they are evil and they believe

759
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: that the way that we live is evil. And so

760
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: when people say, oh, well, you didn't go into Gaza,

761
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't have to. I don't have to because I

762
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: know what Hamas did on that day, and they would

763
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: kill every Jew in the world if they could, and

764
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: they would celebrate while they did it. That is evil.

765
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: And I understand it's not every Muslim person. And if

766
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: you judge anybody based on their religion, you're an imbecile.

767
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: They are awful evil Christians, and they're awful evil Jews,

768
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: and they're awful evil Muslims and every and everybody else

769
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: right and atheists and whatever religion you choose or don't

770
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: choose to support. But good and evil is real, and

771
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: when you stare upon it, it's important to call it out.

772
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: I'll give you another story from inside of that kibbutz,

773
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna tell you one more to finish up.

774
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: Do you know why they have the bombshelters there? It's

775
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: not to protect from people running around with ak forty

776
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: seven's riddling bodies with bullets. It's because all the time

777
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: they shoot rockets into Israel from other countries and so on.

778
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: That morning when they started to shoot rockets, they did

779
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: that intentionally because they wanted everybody in those bomb shelters.

780
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: All these homes have to have bomb shelters. Think about

781
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: how crazy that is. All of them have to have

782
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: bomb shelters. You know what they did. They went in

783
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: and lit those homes on fire because they knew the

784
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: people were then going to have to run out of

785
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: the bomb shelters. If you walk around to any of

786
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: these kibbutz's, they're burned out. They waited outside until moms

787
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: and dads and their kids came out, and they executed

788
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: everybody as they came out, or they took them a hostage.

789
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: I stood in front of one house where a mom

790
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: and dad were shot to death trying to hold the

791
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: door of their bombshelter closed, and they had three little

792
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: kids behind them that all died of smoke inhalation because

793
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: their home was burned down. If you got young kids,

794
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 1: or you've got grandkids, imagine being parents holding those doors

795
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: with everything you got while the terrorists are firing at you.

796
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: You're murdered when they found them. They are holding the door,

797
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: and all of your kids die of smoke inhalation behind

798
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: you after watching you get murdered. That happened all over

799
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: the border with Gaza. I know it's easy to say, oh, well,

800
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 1: that's the Middle East. Why should I care about it.

801
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: Israel is the front line of Western civilization in this country.

802
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: If you do not stand with Israel, then you are

803
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: standing against Western civilization, Judeo Christian values, basic human rights

804
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: for men and women around the world. And if they fall,

805
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: they're going to come for other countries. You want to

806
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: talk about the danger of what might happen next. They're coming.

807
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: They believe that we are evil, we're not. Again, that

808
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: analogy is perfect. If Israel put down their weapons, they

809
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: would all be dead tomorrow. If the Middle East put

810
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: down their weapons, there would be peace. Israel's the good guy.

811
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: We've got to stand with them when we come back.

812
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one more story rolling into Christmas that

813
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: I think is really important. And I certainly appreciate all

814
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: you guys listening to me and understand it's going into Christmas,

815
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: but I think these are important conversations some people say, hey,

816
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll just expect you to tell me, like, what's a

817
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: better movie Home Alone? Or you know, the Christmas Story,

818
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: the answers Christmas Story. By the way, all the Home

819
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: Alone is good. But I know so many of you

820
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: are going to be with friends and family over the holidays.

821
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: I want you to be sharing these stories with the

822
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: kids that are home from college that frankly are knuckleheads

823
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of them don't know any better. And

824
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: I want that image with you as you get ready

825
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: to be with your friends and family, to think about

826
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: that alignment between Christians and Jews. I mean, I just

827
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: told you there's a car tear attack just happened in Germany.

828
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: Evil is real, and the importance of being able to

829
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: distinguish between good and evil is maybe the most foundational

830
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: element of the United States, the most profoundly I think

831
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: good country to ever exist in the history of the world.

832
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: When they try to tell us that our history is awful,

833
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 1: when they try to denigrate us and tear down our

834
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: founding fathers and our leaders, it's about stripping away our

835
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 1: moral authority to see evil and call it out. That's

836
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: what they're doing. It's important to understand this, and I

837
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: hope you'll talk with the young people in your friends

838
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,759
