1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Monday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: en Buck Sexton Show. There's this thing going on called 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: tariffs and a discussion around it. Stock market is in 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: some interesting moments here, going up, going down, going up, 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: going down. We will break this down for you, and 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: it's all going to be all right. Trump has it, 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: keep the fake he said, there's going to be a 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: little bit of pain, and he's definitely not backing off 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: of this. So the people that are whining about it, 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: it will fall on deaf ears. We shall discuss what 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: this is likely to do, what the ramifications are, a 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff. Look, the biggest story in the 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: world right now because it affects the American economy, the 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: global economy is clearly Trump's tariffs. We've also got a 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: little bit of stuff about Fauci, some other things, some 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: transgender sports madness, some other things that we will get 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: to you later on the program. But the economy is 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: on everyone's mind right now. It is absolutely number one, 19 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: and let's just start to talk about where this is. 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: So some tariffs are set to go into effect. Well 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: when they go into effect and how they go into 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: effect is a big part of this conversation. But we 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: know that we had our liberation Day last week. On 24 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: the good side of things. Right now, you have a 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: whole bunch of countries, something like fifty countries have already 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: reached out to President Trump saying, look, let's negotiate on 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: these tariffs. Let's have a conversation about what's best for you, 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: what's best for us, and work constructively going forward. Taiwan 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: has already said that it will eliminate all tariffs, so 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: has India, Israel, Vietnam, Cambodia. They are going to zero tariffs, 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: zero trade barriers. Now, for a lot of people, you 32 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: might stop and say, hold on a second, why did 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Israel have tariffs? Why did Taiwan have to? Oh, that's right, 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: what else has them? Except for us? Is the way 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 1: things have effectively been working for a long time. Pretty 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: much everybody else but Clay is as a little bit 37 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: of a choppy day in the market. So I understand 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: a lot of you aren't day trading, a lot of 39 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: you probably don't even actively manage accounts in the stock 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: market at all, but four one ks and pension plans 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: rely on the stock market. You have to keep that 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: in mind. There's Also, what happens when you have an economy, 43 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: A lot of it is built on consumer spending. If 44 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: people feel like they're getting poorer, even if they're not 45 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: at the top, there will be less spending, which can 46 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: result in less less investment, unemployment. You know, things can 47 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: go wrong, Clay, I'm just gonna put it out this way. 48 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Trump said he was going to do it. He's doing it. 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's earned the trust of 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: the American people, or should have earned the trust of 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: the American people when it comes to the economy. He 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: said that this is going to be a little rocky 53 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: to get going, but he has a strategy of plan 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: in mind, and he's just telling everybody very clearly, don't 55 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: be a what was the word, like a panic, a 56 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: panickin or something like that, Like, yes, the New Panic 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Party says, just stay the course. It's gonna be fine. 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: Take the pain. For those who see it as something 59 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: that's very dangerous for the stock market, it will rebound 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: and everything's gonna be okay. What say you. 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: I think the lesson of the Trump era is Trump 62 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: does something, everybody overreacts and says, oh my goodness, this 63 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: is going to lead to eminent disaster. Will never recover 64 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: from this. This is unacceptable. And then within a few 65 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: weeks that story has moved on and things have gotten 66 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: typically a little bit better than they were before. To me, 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: Trump came in recognizing there were three profoundly important things 68 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: that or going the wrong direction in this country. One is, 69 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: and let's not forget it, the border. The southern border 70 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: is shut down. Joe Biden let ten million illegals in 71 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: in four years. In basically thirty days, Trump completely shut 72 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: down the southern border such that it's no longer a 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: story at all. So one of those three big issues. Now, yes, 74 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: there still need to be deportations of violent criminals. There 75 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: are still many illegals here, we know that, but in 76 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: terms of making things worse, Trump solved the border almost overnight. 77 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: The other one of the three, I think is on 78 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: the right direction. Buck thankfully Elon Musk has come in. 79 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: He has said, we have a thirty seven trillion dollar 80 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: national debt, we cannot continue to operate at this level, 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: and we have to go in and find waste and 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: fraud in our government. And it seems to me that 83 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: Elon Musk and the Dog's team have done a good 84 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: job on that. The third is, and Trump has been 85 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: hammering this since he came down the escalator at Trump 86 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: Tower in twenty fifteen that summer. We have a massively 87 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: unfair global trade economy and we have to in some 88 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: way fix it. And that global trade economy unfairness is 89 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: being driven by China, which has dominated against us. So 90 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 2: within that construct, this is right now the battleground that 91 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: Trump has chosen, and he is fighting it. Let me 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: say a couple of things, because I do think it's 93 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 2: important your stock prices are effectively where they were a 94 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: year ago. This is true whether you're a democratic, Republican 95 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: or independent. Do you know what people fear the most? 96 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: It's having something that they think they have taken from them. 97 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: It's one of the primary lessons of politics. It's why 98 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: reform is so difficult with anything, because once people would 99 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: rather if they have a dollar in their hand, they 100 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: fret much more over losing that dollar than they do 101 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: think about how to double that dollar. General public right, 102 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: So a lot of people consider whatever a stock price 103 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: is to be a referendum on at that particular moment 104 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: in time, their overall value. The reality is, unless you 105 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: are selling, then there is no locked in dollar connection 106 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: to whatever your stock prices are. Buck This is why 107 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: I think for a lot of people's stocks are poor choice, 108 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: because the emotion gets the better of them. Think about 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: it in terms. Think about it in terms of your 110 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: overall house. You own a home, I own a home. 111 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: I bet a lot of you out there have mortgages. 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: Your house price is constantly fluctuating based on what interest 113 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: rates are, based on what mortgage rates are. Heck, based 114 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: on your overall neighborhood. Most people don't obsess over the 115 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: daily fluctuation in the value of their house. If you 116 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: think about that from a stock perspective, you know, buying 117 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: a home tends to be a good decision long term. 118 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: I wish people thought about stocks more like they do. 119 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: Homes would be my general province of advice. 120 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: Well, this is what Warren Buffett said about people lacking 121 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the emotional stability to own stocks, because he says that 122 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: the day to day price, you know, you can't get 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: into that. And he says the same thing as you 124 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: point out about about houses. But here's here's his ic clay. 125 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: As long as this stock thing does not create an 126 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: economic contagion into the broader economy, and just to be clear, 127 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: that can happen. Okay, it's not just I don't own stocks, 128 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: so I don't have to worry about this. I see 129 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: a little bit the people take it a little too 130 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: far on both sides. There are people that say that 131 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: the tariffs like they've brought the market down and it's 132 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: all falling apart. That's not true. But there are also 133 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: people who suggest, well, I don't own stock, so why 134 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: do I care. Well, even if you don't own anything 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: in the stock market, or the stock market cares about 136 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: you in a sense, or rather can affect you. And 137 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: that's where you get into things like, you know, you 138 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: can get into the possibility of our real recession, reduced hiring, 139 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: get into stagflation, get into some real problems to the economy. 140 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't don't see any of that because of a 141 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: few things. One is I still never get a good 142 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: answer as to why do all these countries have tariffs 143 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: but we don't have tariffs, and we've just somehow figured 144 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: out something that they haven't. Really Now, I'm not saying 145 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: that there aren't trade offs. Our price is going to rise, right, 146 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: we can do a little bit of e com one 147 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: on one on this our price is going to rise 148 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: a little bit in response to some of these tariffs. 149 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: Probably the last time with the China stuff whenmember they 150 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: were talking about a trade Warclay back in twenty seventeen, 151 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Trump's first term, and as Trump has been 152 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: pointing out, I think this is a very important point. Yeah, 153 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: price of goods overall on average from China rise point 154 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: seven percent, So there's a chance that you might have 155 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: to pay one or two percent more for stuff made 156 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: in China going forward. Maybe it's more than that. China 157 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: and the US are the ones that are really at 158 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, each lock, yeah, locking antlers on this one, right, 159 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: But I never get an answer as to why they 160 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: all have tariffs. We don't. Also, why are all these 161 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: countries already coming forward play saying they want to negotiate 162 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: and smooth things out? You know that all has to 163 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: be taken into account. And then I just think about 164 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: this on a on a very fundamental, not even economic, 165 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: a very fundamental philosophical level. If we want momentous change, 166 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: we have to change things momentously. If you want something 167 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: to be a dramatically different outcome, you cannot keep status 168 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: quo and I think this is one of the things 169 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: that Trump has proven time and again. I think this 170 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: is what you were getting too early on when we're 171 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: talking about this. Yeah, this is a guy who somehow 172 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: has flouted the consensus over and over again. Why should 173 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: this time be the time we say no, no, no, you 174 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: can't do what you're doing. 175 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: And also, I have a lot less faith in experts now, 176 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, like economic experts get almost everything wrong. 177 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: In the wake of COVID, when all of these same 178 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: economic experts told us, hey, you know, just go live 179 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: at your home many cheetos. We'll just print money, will 180 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: give people money, There'll be no consequences, Well there were. 181 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: Inflation went to nine percent, and let me hit you on. 182 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: I do think this is important. On price of goods 183 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: right now, the price of oil is at a five 184 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: year low. The number one area that people look at 185 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 2: price of goods is what is a gallon of gas costs? 186 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: It's going to go under three dollars in most parts 187 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: of the country on average. Again, I love this every 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: time I say this that somebody's like, well, I just 189 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: paid so and so in San Francisco and I just 190 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: paid so and so. 191 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I get it. 192 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 2: The average I'm telling you right now, based on the 193 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 2: price of a barrel of oil, the average price of 194 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: a gallon of gas going to go under three dollars. 195 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: That's going to be the lowest we've had gas prices 196 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: in five years. A lot of people address and view 197 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: the state of the economy based on what they pay 198 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: for gas and what they pay for goods, meaning groceries. 199 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: To a large extent, grocery prices are coming down. Price 200 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: of eggs, which they tried to turn into a big issue. Remember, 201 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: we get all these guys out there. Even for every 202 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: one of you, I think wherever you buy eggs, I 203 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: think you're paying less right than you were a price 204 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 2: beggs down about fifty percent, back to in some way 205 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: a normalizing number. The reflections that I have seen of 206 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: what a trade war will bring to bear in terms 207 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: of cost of groceries is not very substantial. Price of 208 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: gas comes down, so I think again, my best advice 209 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: is I just went on Pierce, you'll like this buck. 210 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: I'll echo it here too. I told Pierce Morgan, Hey, 211 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: in eighteen months, if inflation is up and the stock 212 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: market prices are lower than they were when Trump was 213 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: elected in November, then I will go on and I 214 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: will wear a clown nose on your show. I feel 215 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: good about eighteen months from now, Buck, you get Bucks 216 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: getting nervous. Eighteen months from now, you guys can write 217 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: this in what is that like October seventh of twenty 218 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: twenty six, right in advance of the election. I think 219 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: everything is going to be infinitely better. 220 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: And those who are you can be a student of 221 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: history and look at this from the perspective of Yeah, 222 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: when Reagan had a tame inflation, there were a couple 223 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: of rough years, and then America just became the global 224 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: dominant superpower, the likes of which the world had never seen, 225 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: and went on a twenty year run of prosperity, so 226 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: much so that Bill Clinton was able to continue to 227 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: ride the cottails of Reaganomics. But put that aside, you 228 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: could also, I mean, there are so many ways, I think, 229 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: Clay that you can you can view what's going on here, 230 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: the detox that is necessary. You point it out, COVID, 231 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: we spent trillions of dollars, like seven or eight trillion 232 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: dollars just injected into the economy without the attendant products, goods, services, 233 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: the overall productivity to support any of that, and we 234 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: never really paid a financial price for this in terms 235 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: of got to get back to the real economy, got 236 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: to have a reset, And so part of that is 237 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: baked into what we're seeing right now. But also, you know, 238 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: you were sort of quoting Buffet before. The only people 239 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: that really know what they're doing when it comes to 240 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: the market are the people that tell you, I think 241 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: I know where this stock will be, or I think 242 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: I know what's going to happen in five years, or 243 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: maybe you know a couple of years. By and large, 244 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: it is very the day to day stuff. There's the 245 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: number of people who can do that and even make 246 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: a living doing it is tiny, tiny. You have to 247 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: be like a little you have to be a savant. Now, 248 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: there are people who can do it, but they're very, 249 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: very few for the vast majority of us. You just 250 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: bet on the big trends, and Trump is betting on 251 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: the big trend of the American economy being the most 252 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: incredible wealth generation machine in the history of the human 253 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: species at the end of the day, and trying to 254 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: fix some things in the meantime. So I'm I am 255 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: not worried. And to your point, about eighteen months from 256 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: now with the clown knows. I'll just say this, Clay. 257 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: You know, Trump has decided that this is a big 258 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: swing that he wants to take, and this is a gamble. 259 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 1: And if he's wrong, we're gonna get slaughtered in the midterms, 260 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: and you know what, we will deserve it. And that's 261 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: actually politics. But you know what else, I don't think 262 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I'm ride or die with Trumpster 263 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: on this one. Let the man cook, let him do 264 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: his thing. Let's see where it goes. 265 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: Amen, And I've got October seventh, By the way, twenty 266 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: twenty six is clown nos x day. So if the 267 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: stock market is at a lower price and inflation is up, 268 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: it has to be both of those things. Then I 269 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: will wear clown nose on here, and I will acknowledge 270 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: that Trump has done a poor job on the economy. 271 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: I will say this, buck, it's a big swing. And 272 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: Trump has now taken ownership of the overall economic environment 273 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: now in a way that is frankly incredibly aggressive by him. 274 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Here in America. 275 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: We can't imagine living under the constant threat of terrorism 276 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: and rocket attacks in Israel. 277 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: It's a way of life. 278 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: Parents taking their kids to school suddenly drop to the 279 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: ground as sirens blair, or rush to the nearest bomb shelter. Recently, 280 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: missile attacks from Huti's has Blah and Hamas forces started 281 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: up again. That's one reason we want to partner with 282 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: the great people at the International Fellowship of Christians and 283 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: Jews to help provide life saving aid and security essentials. 284 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: Your urgently needed gift today will go to bomb shelters, 285 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: flack jackets, bulletproof vests.

We have talked quite a lot 300 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: about that. There has been a massive swing all ready 301 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: today in stock market prices. We are not CNBC or 302 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: Fox Business, so we will not tell you every single 303 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: day what the stock market prices are. But this is 304 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: the latest battleground as Trump tries to remake the American 305 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: economy and helped to make American trade practices fairer around 306 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: the globe. In particular, this is a battle with China. 307 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: I would expect Buck, and I bet you would sign 308 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: off on this that in the days and the weeks 309 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: and the months ahead, basically ninety percent of all these 310 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: countries are going to come to the table and America 311 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: is going to end up with a better trade partnership 312 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: with those countries going forward. And really, ultimately, the battleground 313 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: is going to come down to, as has been for 314 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: some time, and as Trump has been talking about truly 315 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: for decades, what our relationship ends up being with China 316 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: and how that situation resolves itself. That is really the 317 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: underlying conflict that is going on at its most basic level, 318 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: is the United States versus China on how global trade 319 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 2: policy is going to play out. 320 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: And we haven't spent much time today talking about the 321 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: national security component of all this, but it is substantial. 322 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: You cannot have your primary adversary on the world stage, 323 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: which is China. I know we're supposed to always be 324 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: so scared of everything Russia does, but Russia has a 325 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: fraction of the population and a fraction of the economy, 326 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: and you cannot be in a situation where you rely 327 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: on your adversary. Think about that for a moment. Imagine 328 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: if during the Cold War we're like, look, we don't 329 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: need to make antibiotics, we don't need to make robotics, 330 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: we don't need it. We'll just get it all from Moscow. 331 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that would be considered pretty nuts right now. 332 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: That obviously wasn't the case, because you know, communism, it 333 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: turns out is not. But China has a different version 334 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: of communism. It's kind of like a market based communism, 335 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: if you will, or market based collectivism that they've been 336 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: able to grow very very rapidly, particularly the last forty years. 337 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: But Clay, as we've discussed the wars between near peer 338 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: nations in the future, it's not going to be like 339 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: what we've seen in the Global War on Terror terror era. 340 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: It's going to be who can produce the most material 341 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: at the highest level with the best technology and deploy 342 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: at the fastest and that's going to determine, I think, 343 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: who wins conflicts. And so the idea that we're just 344 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: going to continue with the status quo and we can't 345 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: make our own antibiotics, and we can't make a lot 346 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: of our own electronics, and we need China as part 347 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: of our day to day supply chain. That is an 348 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: unsustainable long term arrangement. While China, of course is doing 349 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: the tariff things so much, which we are told only 350 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: makes you poorer. Somehow a billion plus people in China, 351 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: Clay haven't gotten that memo that the the globalist right. 352 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: Some of China hasn't gotten the memo that it's so dumb. 353 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: The EU hasn't gotten the memo that it's so dumb. 354 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: Israel hasn't gotten until now now they're like, hey, America, 355 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: we're buddies, we'll get rid of those tariffs. They hadn't 356 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: gotten the memo. That's a lot of countries that are 357 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: doing something that we are all supposed to believe is 358 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: manifestly self defeating, an idiotic right. And I'll tell you 359 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: this you look at our immigration policies and we're the 360 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: only country that has ten million plus people that have 361 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: piled into it. You know, it's not like we can't 362 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: be the outlier in a bad way. We're so used 363 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: to being number one or being the outlier in a 364 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: good way. But we're the only country that was supposed 365 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: to adopt effectively open borders in Europe. It's different. In Europe. 366 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: It's mostly migrants who they've invited in. They've said okay, 367 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: we're going to take you, and now they know Germany 368 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: and Sweden, they're finding this out the hard way. Maybe 369 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: that wasn't such a great idea. They didn't have people 370 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: walking across the border from Norway into Sweden. Right. We 371 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: have a unique problem set there too. So I think 372 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: that people are going to see more and more that 373 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: the consensus on this is not not correct, certainly not 374 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: as solid as it pretends to be. 375 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: And let me just say this because I get it, 376 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 2: and you guys can all weigh in. I'm looking right now. 377 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: On April fourteenth, twenty twenty four, the S and P. 378 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: Five hundred was, in fact, I'm screenshotting it if I can, 379 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: was at forty nine sixty seven twenty three. All right, 380 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: that is lower than it is today, but basically the 381 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: same price. Okay, So for everyone out there that is 382 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: running around with their hair on fire, stock prices today, 383 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: meaning the S and P five hundred is the exact 384 00:20:53,520 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: same place basically that it was one year ago. Look, 385 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: if the stock market drops to twenty five hundred in 386 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 2: the S and B five hundred, something like that, catastrophic. 387 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: I'll look back and I'll say, boy, you know you 388 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: should have gotten out at forty nine hundred. But my 389 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: point on it is, I bet none of you were 390 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: panicked in any way on April fourteenth of last year. 391 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: Your stocks are the exact same value basically that they 392 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: were a year ago. At this time, ideally stock prices 393 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: go up, but if you bought one year ago and 394 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 2: you've just held them, then you are the exact same 395 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 2: place as you were before. So again, like I understand 396 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: what they're doing, Buck, You and I were talking about 397 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: this off air a couple of weeks ago. What was 398 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: the calamity that could not be ignored? The signal grit 399 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: sinal Gate? Remember remember signal Gate? Oh my goodness, can 400 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 2: you believe that they were they were sharing information and 401 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: this journalist from the Atlantic was on it and heads 402 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: must roll in. 403 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: Is anybody talking about that right now? 404 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 2: Now? 405 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: Then, before this, what was it price of eggs? 406 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: Everybody went out in Unison and they said, look at 407 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 2: how Trump is tanking the economy. What did they point to? 408 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: They said, look at what it costs for everybody out 409 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: there trying to buy a dozen of eggs. Price of 410 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: eggs actually down since Joe Biden left office, by the 411 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 2: way Trump is the price of eggs actually come down 412 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 2: to the extent that all of you are out there 413 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: buying eggs every single day. Prices are down. 414 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: Now. 415 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: The new thing is there's always a new new thing 416 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: with Trump, a new line of attack. The new line 417 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: of attack is Trump has destroyed the stock market. Well, 418 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: actually stock markets same price it was a year ago. 419 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: And none of these people talked for two years when 420 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: Joe Biden was in office, the stock market was actually 421 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: down for a two year process. 422 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: We also haven't talked more about how important rates are 423 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: on all of this. You should be able to put 424 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: your money in the bank. This sounds crazy, think about 425 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: how much this has changed. It used to be if 426 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: you were a saver, you could save money, put it 427 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: in the bank and get a reasonable rate of return 428 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: on your money. And that was something that a lot 429 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: of people would do and depends on when this was 430 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: but you know, you have to obviously look at how 431 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: inflation chips away at that, but you could still be ahead, 432 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: and so there was an encourage. There was some encouraged 433 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: savings through policy. You see what's gone on now, you 434 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. You're just losing money in a 435 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: savings account because of inflation in recent years. And you 436 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: look at the S and P five hundred, right, which 437 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: is this basket of five hundred companies, and a lot 438 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: of people will invest in it. And this is what 439 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: really was what really moves the market. Clay it had 440 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent gain in twenty twenty four and 441 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: a twenty six percent gain in twenty twenty three. This 442 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: is not based on real productivity. It's not possible all 443 00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: the five hundred American companies didn't become thirty percent more 444 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: productive or efficient roughly in twenty twenty three or twenty 445 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: twenty four. This is all financial alchemy. This is the 446 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: political system determining that it's easier to anesthetize people at 447 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: the top with cheap money and to make everyone think 448 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: the market's better than it is than to look at 449 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: the reality of we have been on a binge and 450 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: we need to go on a diet totally. 451 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: And again, I just think you need to understand where 452 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: the attacks come from and comprehend that this is about 453 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: coming after Trump aggressively let me just say this too, 454 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: and we're going to continue to talk about it. Trump 455 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 2: didn't have to try any of this. He could have 456 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: come into office and done what most presidents do, which 457 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: is kind of trim around the edges a little bit, 458 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 2: not really change any of the trajectory at all. He 459 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: is trying to make decisions that will be to fit 460 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: Americans long after his political career is over. He's trying 461 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 2: to completely change the way that our trade deals are constructed, 462 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: the way that we handle border security, and balance the budget. 463 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: All in the space of roughly one hundred days. He 464 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: has aggressively taken this on. So again, on a day 465 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: to day basis, I think a lot of you are 466 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 2: going to be a nervous if you follow the stock 467 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: market tracking day to day, if you follow it over 468 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: six month periods, over one month, one year periods, then 469 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: the trajectory is going to be eight or nine percent 470 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: a year. You're going to make eight or nine percent 471 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: a year. Every ten years, your money's going to double. 472 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: That's what basically the last hundred years has shown us. 473 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: So does it happen every ten years? Is your money double? 474 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 5: No? 475 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 1: Does every year your money go up eight or nine percent? No? 476 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: But I do think that if you want to make 477 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: good decisions going forward, you should be in the stock market. 478 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: I don't know where else you're going to put your money. Candidly, 479 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 2: and for those of you out there that are not 480 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: invested in the stock market, buck, I thought you, you know, 481 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: kind of laid it out that you are going to 482 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: be impacted in some way based on the long term 483 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: trajectory of the stock market, because that's how jobs are created. 484 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: Unless you're a government employee and you never have to 485 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 2: worry about anything other than the depths of you know, 486 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 2: enough to pay your salary. 487 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, or elon finding out that you do nothing all day. 488 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: That's also that's a new thing. Look, if you if 489 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: you take a company, just take a company. Way all 490 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: know you take Disney, and I know that we all 491 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: like to beat up on Disney, and Disney deserves it. 492 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: But just for way of our example here, if the 493 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: Disney stock plummets, Disney is then going to have is 494 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 1: then going to make determinations based upon its stock price. 495 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: It's probably going to make cuts because it's going to 496 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: try to create more cash flow for the market. And 497 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: as it makes those, it's going to fire people. And 498 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: it's you know, you see, there's this cascading effect where 499 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: the market is an indicator of other things that matters 500 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: to people. Job losses matters to all of us, right, 501 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: unemployment number matters to all of us. And you know, 502 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: so there's going to be a little bit of watching 503 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: that that needs to happen here. But Clay, you brought 504 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: up the price of gas. The price of oil. Remember 505 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: petroleum is fifty percent goes into gas, gasoline and you 506 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 1: know transport in that way. The rest of it goes 507 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: into products and that is reflected in the overall price 508 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: that you pay for everything all the time. So dropping 509 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: price of gasoline can also be very very helpful in 510 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: all of this. You know, look, as I keep saying 511 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: arguing about whether Trump should do this or not, I'm 512 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people, Clay saying that is really 513 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: a fool's errand because Trump is doing it, he's earned 514 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: the right to take this gamble. He owns this, it's 515 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: his gamble, and I think we're going to see that 516 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: it goes very well. And because of the system we have. 517 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: If for some reason Trump is wrong, and that's that, 518 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: and we see that, as Claya said, in eighteen months, 519 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: if the economy is in a really truly in a 520 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: bad spot, Democrats are going to absolutely annihilate us in 521 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: the midterms and you're gonna have a very competitive next 522 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: presidential election period. So this is this is where we are, right. 523 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: I feel like everyone just just ride with it, roll 524 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: with it. This is what's going to happen, and there 525 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: can be moderation and or, you know, modifications made. This 526 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: whole system, the whole approach, Clay is built on possible modification. 527 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: That's why you have fifty countries that have come for 528 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: people act like what it is now is supposed to 529 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: be what it is in thirty days. No, does anyone 530 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: understand that China is engaged in its own brinksmanship too. 531 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, they see the pressure that Trump is 532 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: under from some people from some quarters right now, so 533 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: they go, you know, what, We're gonna raise our tariffs 534 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: on you substantially. We're gonna double down on this. Trump's 535 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna back You think Trump is going to back down 536 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: at that point, you know, you think Trump is the 537 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: guy at the negotiating table when you play hardball, he goes, 538 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, probably I don't like hardball. I just want 539 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: to be friends. No, clearly not so. 540 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 2: I love all of this in the context of we're 541 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: basically now because of Trump buck Like for right now, 542 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: we're CNBC and we're Fox Business. Everybody objectively cares about 543 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: where the stock market is on a day to day 544 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: basis right now obsessively because they want to attack Trump 545 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: for it. But it is really hysterical that they were saying, 546 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: you know, this signal controversy, I don't know how Trump's 547 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: going to shake this. This goes to the heart and 548 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: core of his administration. There isn't a single story anywhere 549 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: about the signal story. And I think ultimately Trump understands media, 550 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 2: and he understands story better than any of the people 551 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 2: trying to criticize him in media, and that's ultimately his 552 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: gift that is over and above everybody else. He knows 553 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: how much of the narrative arc is total bs. 554 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: You know something else that I'll throw out there. If 555 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: Trump just tried to run some establishment GOP presidency, now, 556 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: it would be a betrayal of what he promised his 557 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: voters during the campaign and be a trail of a 558 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: betrayal of what Trump says that he wants to do 559 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: and believes in. So if you just let things happen 560 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: as they're happening, if he didn't do doge, if he 561 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: didn't shut down the border, and if he didn't try 562 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: this trade gambit, well you know what, he's going to 563 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: do a little tax cut. You could get that from 564 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: a Bush administration. Right. We voted for disruption. Let's look 565 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: at the disruption. You know, you vote for somebody to 566 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: shake things up. Don't complain when it's shaken. And that's 567 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: where we are right now. Lean into it a little bit. 568 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: It's all gonna be fine. And if not, clan are 569 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna wearing clown noses on the radio shows you're signed 570 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: on with me now, well, not on Peers's show, that's 571 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: your thing. But yeah, months shown twenty twenty six, we 572 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: will wear You'll wear a clown nose with me on 573 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: the show. I mean I can't, dude, you're you know, 574 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: can't let wingman wear a clown nose without me. You know, 575 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: this is like you know, this is you know if 576 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: if I just I think I might have to follow 577 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: you on this one. All right, look, this is this 578 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: is a transition, is something serious. But as you know, 579 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: if you are going to carry a firearm to defend yourself, 580 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: you have to be prepared to make that very important decision. 581 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: I can still carry down here in South Florida, and 582 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: I've been in places abroad where I've carried weapons to 583 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: defend myself for the government. And if you're going to 584 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: defend yourself, it's a big decision. But guess what, you 585 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: need to also prepare for the consequences of that decision. 586 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: And you really need to do this, and you need 587 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: to take action now because you can end up in 588 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: court even if you're one hundred percent right. In fact, 589 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: I know of cases. I know of people who have 590 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: ended up because they defended themselves with a firearm. They 591 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: still ended up in court something, even ended up getting prosecuted. 592 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: Had to defend themselves. So it's not about just what 593 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: you did, it's how it's interpreted. It's the politics in 594 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: that county.

A seventeen 622 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: year old I believe high school kid in Texas was 623 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: stabbed in the heart by a suspect, a guy named 624 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony, not the basketball player for those of you 625 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: out there, seventeen year old also Texas kid. There was 626 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 2: a dispute over where this seventeen year old should be sitting, 627 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: and the seventeen year old that is accused of committing 628 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 2: the murder had a knife in his bag, said hey, 629 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 2: if you tell me where to go, he was sitting 630 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 2: in the wrong area, there will be basically consequences. The 631 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 2: other kid says, hey, you shouldn't be sitting here. You're 632 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: in the wrong place, and the Carmelo Anthony kid stands 633 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 2: up and stabs the seventeen year old in the heart 634 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 2: and he bleeds out dies there in the arms of 635 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 2: his twin brother. I mean, it is an awful story, 636 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: and not surprisingly, it has gotten attention to a large 637 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: extent only on right wing media because it is and 638 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 2: I say right wing media, it is a story that 639 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 2: is uncomfortable for much left wing media because the kid 640 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 2: that got stabbed to death was a white kid. The 641 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: kid that did the stabbing was a black kid. Now, 642 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: this happened in Frisco, for those of you who are 643 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 2: not familiar. That's about thirty miles north of Dallas. And 644 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 2: the individual who was stabbed to death Austin Metcalf. He 645 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 2: was an eleventh grader at Memorial High School in that area. Okay, 646 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 2: I've got Buck seventeen, fourteen, ten year old, So anytime 647 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 2: I see a story like this, it makes me sick 648 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 2: to my stomach. My son is the same age as 649 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 2: my oldest, is the same age as this kid who 650 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: was both stabbed and also the stabber. The reason we're 651 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: talking about it is there is a GoFundMe page that 652 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 2: has been created for the Carmelo Anthony, the individual that 653 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: is accused of stabbing this young kid to death, and 654 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 2: it is raised one hundred and sixty thousand dollars. I 655 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 2: believe Buck you may have it open in front of 656 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 2: you right now. Why I think this is interesting and 657 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 2: I want to get your reaction to it. First of all, 658 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 2: it's awful, and this is emblematic, unfortunately, of what happens 659 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 2: with young people when it comes to violence in America today. 660 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: Relatively inconsequential issues are leading to death and this is 661 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: a snapshot of what happens all over the country. 662 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: And there's more than that too. I mean, there's a 663 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: lot of conversation now around because this this for something 664 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: like this to happen at a high school athletic event 665 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: over who's sitting in what section? Yes, there's no, there's 666 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: no okay, there's a lot to be said here. One 667 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: is that people are pointing out, why is it that 668 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: half the murders in this country are committed by black 669 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: men age sixteen to forty And we're not allowed to 670 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: have that. That's just the way that the statistics are, right, 671 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: That's part of the conversation, why is there such a disproportion? 672 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: And we can get into all that conversation, but you 673 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: should be able to say that out loud without people 674 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: gasping and saying, how dare you say that? That's just 675 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: a fact. It's just a fact. So why is one 676 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: part of the American community committing such a disproportionate share 677 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: of the violence? Now generally, as I also know these statistics, 678 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: the black community, when there is violence, it's men. It's 679 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: not talk about women, black men, it's against other black men. However, 680 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: when we look at interracial violence, it is also wildly 681 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: disproportionately the case that there will be black violence against 682 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: a non black individual than a non black individual committing 683 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: violence against a black person. So this is what the 684 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: conversation online has That was initially where it turned. That 685 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 1: was what it turned into, you know. Matt Walsh asked 686 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: this question, got over the Daily Wire, got a lot 687 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: of heat from people just saying, look, why are we 688 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: ever allowed to say that maybe that this there should 689 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: be some way to what culturally socially to address this 690 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: probam this this issue, this disparity, Okay, disparity in other 691 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: ways we can talk about all day long, right, disparity 692 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: in household income. How do we fix that disparity? Other 693 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: disparities are to be addressed. This disparity is not to 694 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: be talked about. 695 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 2: And I think, by the way, not only are to 696 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 2: be addressed are a sign that America is failing, right, 697 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 2: like the failure to prom gap. 698 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, absolutely, failure is a problem. So now what's happened, 699 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: because the online left has gotten involved, is they're saying, oh, 700 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: it was a case of self defense, just like Kyle Rittenhouse. 701 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: This is what they're this is what they're trying to 702 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,479 Speaker 1: they're trying to say, and I think that that has 703 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: outraged a lot of people because, first of all, there 704 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: was I know the father of the boy who is staed 705 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: to death. He is a he is a believing Christian 706 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: and he said I forgive him. And there are a 707 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: lot of people that are saying, I don't want to 708 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: get into that. I didn't just lose a child. I'm 709 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: not going to criticize somebody who did. I would not 710 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: personally be saying that I forgave anyone. I would be 711 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: wondering if I could be the one that threw the 712 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: switch on the electric chair. But put that aside, I'm 713 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: a different person that person, and I didn't just lose 714 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 1: a family member, a son. Okay, self defense for this claim. 715 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the Left is so unfamiliar with this 716 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: is interesting. Clay, just like with firearms, is a tremendous 717 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: disparity politically and culturally between the left and the right 718 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to issues. When it comes to self defense, 719 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: they have no idea. Just like they don't understand anything 720 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: about law enforcement, they have a very superficial and generally 721 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: idiotic view of it. They don't understand that. For example, 722 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: if somebody walks up to my car and they say, 723 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: you know, hey, give me all your money, or I'm 724 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: going to kill you. You know, I'm gonna shoot you. 725 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: Have a gun in my pocket in Florida, if I 726 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: drew down on them, and if people believe that that 727 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: threat was there, that that's what was said, maybe this 728 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: is on video or whatever. People believe that my life 729 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: is in danger, I am justified. If somebody walk off 730 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: to my car and like, hey, you drive like a jerk, 731 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: and I pulled out my gun and I shot them, 732 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm a murderer. I'm going in to prison as I should. Right. 733 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: Self defense is not we are in an argument, I'm 734 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: going to kill you. That's not self defense. And that's 735 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: what happened with this individual quite clearly. Okay, we're arguing 736 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: over a chair, you know, unless he believed he was 737 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: in fear of he stanned this kid in the heart. Yeah. 738 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: The other part of this too, try it. That's I'm 739 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: killing you. Okay, anybody with a knife nose, you know, 740 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: you could slash I'm not saying do this. I'm know 741 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: if you slash somebody in the face, you slash them 742 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: in the arm, you slash them in the stomach, you're 743 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna get you know, they're gonna run away and be like, 744 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna want to not deal with 745 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: you anymore. Right, stab him in the heart, to kill him. 746 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: And now people on the left are saying, and there 747 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: are some prominent you know, some prominent commentator type, not prominent, 748 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: but some commentator types are saying this too. It's self defense. 749 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: And it's people are taking it as a real slap 750 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,919 Speaker 1: in the face because instead of the conversation about why 751 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: would somebody resort to lethal violence in this circumstance against 752 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: a high school peer with no real provocation, it's yeah, 753 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: with self defense, you know what I mean. It's really 754 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: the left spitting on the grave of this kid. 755 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 2: Not only that go Fundme has a policy where they 756 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 2: did not allow Kyle Rittenhouse to raise money. In fact, 757 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 2: they shut down any attempt to raise money for him 758 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 2: to be able to defend himself. And in general, I 759 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: think their policy is these fundraisers aren't allowed because, for instance, 760 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 2: a guy like Luigi Mangioni buck would probably sadly raise 761 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 2: millions of dollars for his legal defense if they had 762 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 2: to go fund me up for him. 763 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: Go fund me being a bunch of being run by 764 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: a bunch of left wing communists, I mean, this is unfortunately, 765 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: this is just the deal. This is why a lot 766 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: of people don't like gofund me because it's a left 767 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: wing entity and they do this. It's a private entity, 768 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: they're allowed to make their own it's like a social 769 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: media company, right, which we saw with all of them 770 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: for a long time. Completely arbitrary, not I shouldn't say 771 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: arbitrarily in partisan and and very intentional fashion. Are hurting 772 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: one side to benefit the other. So I mean go 773 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 1: fund me falls into that category as well. But the 774 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: claim that now this ties in because the claim of 775 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: self defense. You can see that people are believing this 776 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: because they're giving money on the GoFundMe. So now you 777 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: have people that are hearing this story who are saying, 778 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: I want to support this kid who stabbed this other 779 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: kid in the heart in front of his dad and 780 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: his brother because he said, you're not supposed to be 781 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: seated in this section. You know, this is this is appalling. 782 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, to your point about Luigi MANGIONI, people are 783 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: really rightly upset at this. What American wants, What America 784 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: well wants an innocent question? There isn't it? What American 785 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: believes this story that this kid actually thought a who 786 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: had the knife, who had the weapon, the kid who 787 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: killed him? How could he have been how could he 788 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: have been in a position where he thought he was 789 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 1: under threat of extreme violence and or threat of his life. 790 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: He didn't, as Kitchen go to prison the rest of 791 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: his life. This is not a hard case. I think 792 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: that's right. 793 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 2: I think it also speaks to masculinity and crisis because 794 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 2: to your point, yes, sixteen to forty year old black 795 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 2: men commit over half of all murders in this country, 796 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 2: which is a staggering perspective stat considering that sixteen to 797 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 2: forty year old black men probably represent what do you think, 798 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 2: three percent of the overall United States population? Five percent 799 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 2: at most. I mean, it's a tiny percentage of the 800 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 2: overall population, and they represent over half of all murders. 801 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,479 Speaker 1: And it's even more disconcerting you look in a place 802 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,480 Speaker 1: like New York City, where on a per capita basis, 803 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: the poorest ethnicity in New York City is when you 804 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 1: include the Asian immigrant population. There's a lot of very 805 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: poor Asians, whether South Asian or East Asian and New 806 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: York City Clay who commit effectively no violent crime, yeah 807 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: almost none. So they're poor, but they don't kill anybody. 808 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: And you know, the these are the converse, and people 809 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: want to say, okay, well, what's going on here? Clearly 810 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: there is a pernicious cultural and and you know, family 811 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: destruction influence in some communities that makes the propensity for 812 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 1: violence as a result of those cultural issues likelier. And 813 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: instead of addressing it, when now we have people saying, oh, well, 814 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: let's you know, let's talk about this as a self 815 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: defense case. No serious person thinks this is a self 816 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 1: defense case. 817 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 2: I think a large degree which you would see is 818 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 2: that the overwhelming amount of violent crime is committed in 819 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 2: fatherless households across racial groups. That is, absence of men, 820 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 2: absence of dads, leads young men to be far more 821 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 2: likely to be violent. And I don't think that's coincidental. 822 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: The other part of this is, and you hit on it. 823 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 2: If this had been two black kids, exact same story, 824 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: nobody would have heard about it because young black male 825 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 2: violence against other young black males is so common that 826 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 2: it virtually makes no news at all. And this is why, 827 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 2: and I'm writing in this new book that I'm writing, Buck, 828 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 2: it's been so unfortunate that we have demonized police because 829 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 2: if you look at the data, there are I believe 830 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 2: that the data reflects this is true, thousands and thousands 831 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 2: of young black men who are dead because police weren't 832 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 2: able to do the jobs that they should have been 833 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 2: able to do in those cities. So everybody who marched BLM, 834 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 2: everybody who donated money, BLM, all those people walking around 835 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 2: raising their fists, the actual, most prominent consequence of your rebellion, 836 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 2: of your protest was thousands more young black men dead. 837 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: And again, Buck, this wouldn't even be a story. If 838 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 2: this is two young black kids, one stabs the other 839 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 2: over a dispute about who should be sitting where none 840 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 2: of us would have heard about it because it happens 841 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 2: so often. Turning to the numbers here again, just because 842 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 2: I know that what the left has done for a 843 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 2: long time. Is they say it's about poverty and lack 844 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 2: of opportunity. Really, twenty four percent of Asians in New 845 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 2: York City are are in poverty. By New York City's 846 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 2: own metrics and standards, twenty one percent of the black 847 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 2: community is in poverty. Ninety percent of the prison in 848 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 2: New York City, Rykers Island is Black and Latino. It's 849 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 2: actually ninety percent plus I think some years like ninety 850 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 2: two to ninety three percent. The Asian percentage of Rikers Island, 851 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 2: despite twenty four percent of them in poverty, is less 852 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 2: than one percent. So what's going on? This is just 853 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 2: you know, why are these situations playing out? The way 854 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 2: you brought up family formation, you bring up culture, culture 855 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 2: in school, culture and media. These are things that we 856 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 2: should be able to talk about, but some people don't 857 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 2: want to talk about them, and instead they'd rather play 858 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 2: this game of oh, well, this is this national profile case. 859 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 2: Now is a self defense case, And they say that 860 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 2: knowing that it's really just meant to antagonize people and 861 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 2: meant to say, you know, the whole system. 862 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: Is corrupt and you know it's it's it's like an 863 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,280 Speaker 1: OJ verdict situation. 864 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 2: I bet if you overlapped Buck, it would be a 865 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 2: fascinating study. I don't know if anybody's done this in 866 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: recent history. I bet if you overlapped rates of men 867 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 2: at home for Asian communities versus Black communities in New 868 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 2: York City, I bet the average Asian community household ninety 869 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 2: percent dads at home, suggests. I bet the average Black 870 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 2: family in New York City dads at home ten percent, 871 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: fifteen percent something, maybe fifteen percent, yeah, but it would 872 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 2: be I bet the biggest racial dynamic difference between Asian 873 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 2: and Black anywhere in the country. And I think if 874 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 2: you override that kid's behavior, especially young men who were 875 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: talking about Remember women don't commit stab murders very often, 876 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 2: I bet you would see dad in home decreases the 877 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 2: overall rate of violence on a level that is staggering. 878 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 2: Would actually be a really interesting conversation that we should 879 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 2: have that a lot of people won't have, because it 880 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 2: forces us to have serious conversations about absence of men 881 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 2: and what father lessonness does to young men across the country. 882 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 2: When I say you need to protect yourself, interestingly from 883 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 2: a home intruder, a lot of people's gut reaction is 884 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 2: that doesn't happen where I live. Maybe it's the case, 885 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 2: but still all it takes is one time. If you 886 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 2: want to have pepper spray, if you want to have 887 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 2: bars on your doors, if you want to just make 888 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 2: your home safer than it otherwise would be.

I'm like, Clay, tell us what's going on 926 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 1: down there on the floor of the exchange. There's all 927 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: the people running around by, So what's the latest. 928 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: The S ANDB five hundred is up for the day, 929 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 2: the up as we speak right now by around point 930 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:40,720 Speaker 2: four percent, and the Dow is down about one hundred 931 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 2: and forty points, So a bit of a split verdict 932 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 2: there SMP five hundred. Obviously the five hundred largest companies 933 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 2: the better approximator of the markets move in general. Meanwhile, 934 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 2: the Dow Jones only thirty companies involved in the Dow 935 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:03,800 Speaker 2: Jones Industrial Index. But basically a day where not much 936 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 2: has happened after actually a lot has happened in terms 937 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: of fluctuation. But the end result as we speak to 938 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 2: you with a couple of hours left of trading, is 939 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 2: that Monday has not been a very very crazy outcome 940 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 2: so far relative to the moves that we saw on 941 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:24,320 Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday. 942 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 1: No one's going to call this Black Monday, the day 943 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: that the stock market was destroyed forever or something. You know, 944 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,839 Speaker 1: It's all gonna be okay. You know. 945 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 2: I think what it suggests buck for people out there 946 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 2: is the market was got an unexpected outcome. Trump was 947 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 2: more aggressive on trade than they anticipated on Wednesday, so 948 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 2: called Liberation Day. Thursday and Friday, the stock market changed 949 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 2: went down quite a lot. Now on Monday, people have 950 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 2: digested it they've said, Okay, we've gotten used to what happened. 951 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 2: The predictions, as predictions often are, that Monday would be 952 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,479 Speaker 2: a cataclysmic day for US. Stocks have as we speak 953 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 2: to you with two hours less left in trading, not 954 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,879 Speaker 2: proven true. And again stock prices are basically the same 955 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 2: as where they were a year ago. In the larger context, 956 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 2: it was. 957 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 1: On October twenty fourth, nineteen twenty nine that Black Thursday occurred, 958 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: and that was the the great crash and the one 959 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: that people always refer to. So black, that's Black Thursday, 960 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: October twenty fourth, nineteen twenty nine. This is not that, 961 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,959 Speaker 1: And people can just relax a little bit. It's gonna 962 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: be okay, it's gonna be all right. Trump is dedicated 963 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 1: to this. He bigly knows what the plan is, and 964 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 1: it's just about resetting some things and then it's gonna 965 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 1: be great. Probably the best economy we've ever seen. Just 966 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: gonna take a little time to get there, all right. 967 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: A couple of updates to some other stories, And I 968 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,799 Speaker 1: want to get to this trans athlete thing more more 969 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: female athletes taking a stand or in some cases, I 970 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: guess taking a knee. But for the right reason, we'll 971 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 1: get into this. Two things though. One is that we 972 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: were just talking about that stabbing story in Texas Clay 973 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 1: and it seems that it just broke as we were 974 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 1: talking about this. I can't say that one led to 975 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: the other. But they've pulled the ghost GoFundMe for the 976 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 1: and so I guess they are adhering to the criminal 977 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 1: defense rules. Maybe they got caught though on this one. 978 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: People pointed out, Hey, you say no criminal defense fundraising 979 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: on go fund me, and now that's ended. You have additions. 980 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 2: One bit of change there is at give send go 981 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 2: and look team, can you look up the difference on 982 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 2: what these organizations are. 983 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,919 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if ghosts they're just variations on the sete. 984 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: I think they did the same plat same stuff. Okay, 985 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: so they are allowing their funding to still occur. That 986 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 1: has raised one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. So the 987 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: main one that is go fund me, which a lot 988 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: of people know has shut down the ability to raise money. 989 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: What I am seeing on give sind go is that 990 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,399 Speaker 1: that has still been allowed to happen, and that there 991 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 1: has been one hundred and seventy thousand dollars raised on 992 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: that platform. The reason why I say give sind go. 993 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 1: They are a bunch different of these companies that compete 994 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 1: against each other. And so I don't know if this 995 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 1: is quote unquote a left winging site or what their 996 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: orders of fundraising rules of fundraising are, but they have 997 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 1: raised over one hundred and seventy thousand for this alleged 998 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: stabber there. And just to bring this one full circle too, 999 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: while somebody was out hitting three hundred yard drives with 1000 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 1: the celebrities last week in the sunshine, having a great 1001 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: old time, I was here taking grenades in the trenches 1002 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 1: solo on that McDonald's dad who left the dad at 1003 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: McDonald's who left his kids, And then we were all wet. 1004 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 1: We just went on the news story and we said 1005 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 1: we needed more facts, and some of you were very 1006 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,319 Speaker 1: skeptical even to the facts initially. And it turned out 1007 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't then a job interview. It was ninety minutes 1008 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: and they pulled his GoFundMe and actually refunded everybody their money. 1009 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: So he was not allowed to profit from that one either. 1010 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: So these sites have gotten a little bit more, a 1011 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: little more dialed in, a little savvy or on what's 1012 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,919 Speaker 1: going on. But so yeah, on that one. You know, man, 1013 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 1: it's it's just it's interesting, isn't it. He clearly knew 1014 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: that saying I was going for a job interview, there'd 1015 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: be a lot of people that there would be sympathy 1016 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 1: for his position. Now when you hear he just left 1017 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 1: the kids there, and then the mother of the kids 1018 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 1: was called to the scene and she was furious about it, 1019 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: like this guy messed up right, and the cop did 1020 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 1: not mess up? Who was there? The cops handled this perfectly, 1021 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: we did, say, I said at the time, just to 1022 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: be clear, I was like, I do not blame the 1023 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 1: cops at all. We need to know exactly what's going 1024 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: on here. And so we did not jump to blame 1025 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: police on this one for anything and even poor judgment call. 1026 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 1: But we updated that story. And yeah, see we're not MSNBC. 1027 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 1: When a story goes the way, you know, when a 1028 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,359 Speaker 1: story goes in the other direction from how it might 1029 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 1: have been trending, we don't go, oh, let's just move 1030 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: on to something else. Clay, you want to talk about 1031 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: the trans stuff now for second, let's do this is 1032 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 1: a let's dive into this, shall we. Here you have 1033 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 1: John Oliver of last week tonight, John Oliver. He talks 1034 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: like this all the time, and people on the left 1035 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: think that that must make him smart. It does not, 1036 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 1: in fact, and he doesn't really know anything. And it's 1037 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: shocking that well, and I shouldn't say shocking, but it's 1038 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: just preposterous that Max still gives this guy the platform 1039 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,240 Speaker 1: that they do. But he's now joined Neil deGrasse Tyson, 1040 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: who did this on the Bill Mahershow. He has joined 1041 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: the other celebrities of the left who say there is 1042 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,359 Speaker 1: no advantage that men do not have an advantage over 1043 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 1: women in sports play sixteen, we. 1044 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 5: Expect a certain amount of difference in athletics. Taller basketball 1045 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,439 Speaker 5: players are expected to compete against shorter ones, Faster soccer 1046 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 5: players compete against slow ones. Michael Phelps was allowed to 1047 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,280 Speaker 5: compete with other swimmers despite being part dolphin. And crucially, 1048 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,960 Speaker 5: none of the studies I've mentioned so far bear much 1049 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 5: relevance to what these new laws target, which is youth 1050 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,360 Speaker 5: sports usually of all ages, and the research there is 1051 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,800 Speaker 5: even more scant. We have no research about how being 1052 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 5: trans or undergoing gender firming treatment impacts athletic performance in teams, 1053 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 5: and when it comes to kids. Before the onset of puberty. 1054 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,400 Speaker 5: I'd argue, when you're talking about seven year olds, as 1055 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 5: a practical matter, that's a point where lots of school 1056 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 5: sports are co ed anyway, and a key difference between 1057 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 5: competitors on a field can come down to whether a 1058 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 5: kid was born in October or April. 1059 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 2: Okay, forty five minutes on this, and we just played 1060 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 2: you a cut of this. I have coached the little 1061 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 2: league sports in baseball, basketball, soccer, and football flag football. 1062 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 2: In many of those leagues there have been young girls 1063 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 2: who played as well. In fact, I have coached young 1064 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 2: girls on predominantly boy teams. No one out there is saying, hey, 1065 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 2: if you are eleven and you want to play boys 1066 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 2: baseball and you're really good, or you are nine and 1067 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 2: you want to play boys basketball because you're a really 1068 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 2: good girls player, that there's anything wrong at all with that, 1069 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 2: because it is true that before puberty there isn't that 1070 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 2: much difference in young kids overall athletic ability. In fact, 1071 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 2: on one of my teams, I think our ten U 1072 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 2: baseball team, the best player that I coached was a girl. 1073 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: She was fabulous. 1074 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 2: Guess what testosterone starts to come in when boys hit 1075 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 2: puberty and as everyone who has coached young boys knows, 1076 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 2: the team with the most kids with the mustaches is 1077 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 2: going to be the best when you're like thirteen years old. 1078 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 2: Whoever hits puberty the fastest, it is they are bigger, stronger, faster. 1079 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: It is an over difference testosterone level, especially for young people. 1080 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: It almost functions the way that steroids for adults do. 1081 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: In fact, professional bodybuilders, they they will say that they 1082 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: I have friends. I am clearly not one, but I 1083 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: have friends down in Miami who are because they're everywhere. 1084 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: Clay went to the gym down here. He understands this 1085 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 1: is the most gym obsessed culture in the United States, 1086 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,920 Speaker 1: bar none, no question, South Florida, like I've been, I've 1087 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 1: been to gym's in Beverly Hills. I grew up in 1088 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: New York City. There is no place that is as 1089 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,480 Speaker 1: obsessed with this stuff as South Florida. And if you run, 1090 00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 1: they call it running tests. If you take exogynous testosterone 1091 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: to a certain level of functions very much in your body, 1092 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 1: just like steroids do. I mean in terms of muscle growth, 1093 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 1: muscle density, all these sorts of things, and people usually 1094 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: take that alongside anabolic steroids and that's how they get 1095 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,960 Speaker 1: so enormously big and muscular. Bring it up because you know, 1096 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,480 Speaker 1: if you have a guy that is taking test is 1097 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 1: taking steroids, and a guy who is not, trust me, 1098 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,920 Speaker 1: you know the difference, and so do they. And if 1099 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: you have a thirteen year old kid whose body has 1100 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: started to release the because of the pituitary gland is 1101 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: kicked in and they are releasing the hormones necessary for 1102 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 1: extra testosterone production, it is a whole different world, right. 1103 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 1: The kids with the mustaches and they aren't pit hair 1104 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: when you're in the ninth grade, those are the you know, 1105 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 1: those are the kids that are like dunking, and the 1106 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,120 Speaker 1: kids that are maybe a year or two behind that, 1107 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 1: they still look like they could be singing in the 1108 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,680 Speaker 1: sixth grade choir. It's just reality, totally true, totally true. 1109 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 2: And the fact that left wingers have decided that the 1110 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: hill they want to die on is there's no difference 1111 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 2: between men and women when it comes to athletics, and 1112 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 2: that trans women, which is that is to say, men 1113 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 2: who are identifying as women. Riley Gaines asked a good question. 1114 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 2: It's one I've been asking for a long time. If 1115 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 2: this is true, how come no women who identify as 1116 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 2: men are dominating in men's sports, right, Like, if. 1117 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: There's if they're so, why have separate sports at all? Correct? Why? 1118 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: I think that's the even most fundamental question period. Why 1119 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 1: Why have the most you know, why have Why have 1120 01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: we separated and segregated sports by gender as long as 1121 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,439 Speaker 1: we have? If what John Oliver says is true, there's 1122 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 1: no basis for it, just like we should just have points. 1123 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 2: Everybody should just compete in one organization, men and women. 1124 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,560 Speaker 1: Which is the destruction of women's sports and women's achievement. 1125 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: You would not have a single professional female athlete in 1126 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: any sport whatsoever, period, full stop. You would not have 1127 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 1: a single D one female athlete, or D three female athlete, 1128 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: or really high school of varsity athlete because the men 1129 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: would get all the spots. So that is reality. 1130 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so this is supposedly a super smart show, right, 1131 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 2: filled with people that think they are smarter than you 1132 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 2: and me and everyone else. And his argument basically boils 1133 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 2: down to, well, we don't really know if there's any 1134 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 2: competitive advantage, and therefore men who identify as women should 1135 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 2: be able to compete in women's sports. And anybody who's 1136 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 2: arguing otherwise isn't paying attention to the data. They just lie, 1137 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 2: and they just lie, Blake, and I think it's important 1138 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 2: to share with you what they are producing. This isn't 1139 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 2: some off the cuff take. This is a produced, a 1140 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 2: written and entire segment defined as men who identify as 1141 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 2: women deserve to play women's sports. And I will reiterate again, 1142 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 2: no one out there that I've heard I played. When 1143 01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,400 Speaker 2: I was in the nineteen eighties playing baseball in Goodblitzville, Tennessee, 1144 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 2: there were girls playing in our league when we were 1145 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 2: ten or eleven years old. That's been happening for a 1146 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 2: long time. Talented female athletes who want to compete pre 1147 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,360 Speaker 2: puberty or even are able to compete post puberty.
