As I started off the show 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: by saying, if you in your card right now, just 22 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: thought to yourself, Oh no, yeah, it's Valentine's Day, and 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: if you haven't already taken care of the woman in 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: your life, you are probably in for a rough day. 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: You better get on it. New York Third Congressional District 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: Santos's district eight point win for Democrats. Another seat of 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: the majority gone. One loss after another. It's important to 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: try to pay attention to all of these losses and think, 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: as we sit here nine months out, this is a 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: suburban Long Island district, wealthy, high white and Asian population, 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: A district that Santos won in twenty twenty two, a 32 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: district that Joe Biden won by ten points in twenty 33 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: twenty over Donald Trump. Eight point win for the Democrats 34 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: in this election. We're going to continue to hammer this 35 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: snowy day waiting till election day. It's not going to 36 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: be good enough to win in twenty twenty four. All 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: of you need to get your votes in. We got 38 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: let's see also the Majorcus impeachment. Neither Buck nor myself 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: is very optimistic that this is going to lead to 40 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: a significant political win. We've got Buck. I wanted to 41 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: talk about this because we mentioned it yesterday. The Senate 42 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: has passed a ninety five point three billion dollar payment 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: your tax dollars going to fund the border and protect 44 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: the border of Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. Twenty two, I believe, 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: is the number Republican senators supported this bill. It's now 46 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: moving on to the House. Yesterday I was reading and 47 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you. 48 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: I want all of. 49 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: You to think about this as a broad idea. We 50 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: are now thirty five trillion roughly in debt. When the 51 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Tea Party started and became an issue, we were at 52 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: ten trillion dollars in debt. So we're averaging adding about 53 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars a year to our national debt. I 54 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: saw a report from the Congressional Budget Office I was 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: reading about it yesterday, buck that we are on pace 56 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: to have a fifty four trillion dollar federal deficit a 57 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: decade from now. And my son is sixteen years old. 58 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: He's a sophomore in high school and he's just starting 59 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: to study economics, and we were having this conversation recently. 60 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: The dollar is the default currency for the world. What 61 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: happens if suddenly our foreign adversaries, who own trillions of 62 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: dollars in American debt. What happens buck if one day 63 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: they just decide they're not going to buy the debt 64 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: that we are constantly issuing out there. 65 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: What you're talking about is the death of the dollars, 66 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: the global reserve currency, and the end of American dominance 67 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: in all respects, including our quality of life that we 68 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: have gotten very used to in this country where we 69 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 3: can be these massive consumers and get deeply indebted and 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: it doesn't really affect things for us. I mean, part 71 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: of the problem is, yes, we can plain in the 72 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: economy is not as good now as it should be. 73 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 3: And but you've spent some time in countries I'm sure 74 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: where you see what real economic deformation looks like or 75 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: real economic reversal looks like, and it is a shocking thing. 76 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: It is a devastating thing to that nation. And I 77 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: think that unfortunately, right now, we don't have. 78 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: A system that will allow this to turn around. 79 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: We don't have people who are willing to make decisions 80 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: today that take the future into account. This is a 81 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: function of math, isn't it an interesting There are so many 82 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: people who are much more concerned about climate, it seems, 83 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 3: than about the debt these days. One of them is 84 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: a real thing that is not a real problem, meaning 85 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: climate is changing, it has always changing, Yes, of course 86 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: it changes. There's no real threat to humanity into us whatsoever. 87 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: The other thing is a mathematical certainty that the debt 88 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: burden will become so heavy that it will crowd out 89 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: other spending and it will change the lives of the 90 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: American people in future generations in ways that we would 91 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 3: really hate to see, and that can of course lead 92 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: to social unrest, civil unrest, all kinds of other problems 93 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: as well. But I can sit here and talk about it, 94 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: and we could talk about where the debt was in 95 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: the Tea Party era in twenty ten. 96 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: Versus where it is now. I think it was what 97 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: was it, ten trillion. Yeah, we've had five trillion in 98 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: debt since the Tea Party. 99 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: So you know, we talked about this, and look, you 100 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: know one way that one way that Trump hit Ron 101 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: DeSantis right away and it was effective, was Ron wanted 102 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: to cut in titlements. Even among Republicans. This is some 103 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: real talk. Even among Republicans. You want to win, say 104 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: you won't touch entitlement spending, You say you won't touch 105 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: the retirement age. 106 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: As long as that continues, we're just gonna get I mean, 107 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: that's for me. 108 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: I don't want to be overly fatalistic about it, but 109 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: maybe maybe that's what I'm being. Until people feel pain, 110 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: they won't change. And the problem with this is once 111 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: you start to feel the pain, then the change is late. 112 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Too late. It's all too late. This is where we are, 113 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, think about that. 114 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: I mean Trump has said I won't touch your your 115 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: social security, I won't touch your Medicare, I won't touch 116 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: you know, entitlement spending. I won't touch a retirement age. 117 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: And that's a Republican from outside the establishment. And anyone 118 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: who would run against him in this primary, or anyone 119 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: who going forward is running as a Republican, they know 120 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: they'll lose if they say they want to touch any 121 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: of those things. And you bring that up down and 122 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: people always say, Clay, I've paid into this my whole life. 123 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: Social Security is fixable, and that's doable. You just make 124 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: some change. You do a little bit of means testing 125 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: for rich people, and you raise the retirement age a 126 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: couple of years. You figure out when you do that, 127 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: you get out the actuarial table it's not the end 128 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: of the world. Medicare is a big problem because people say, oh, 129 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: I've been paying into it. The average person, the average 130 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: person takes out twice in medicare, spending what they pay 131 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: and do over the course of their lifetime, and a 132 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: vast majority of that spending comes in the last six 133 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: months of life. Yeah, so we have to fix these 134 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: things somehow. But know what, you know, you say you 135 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: want to fix it, You're a bad person. You say 136 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: you want to change it. You know, you and I 137 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: are getting older. You know at some point we're gonna 138 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: want medicare too. I want it to be there, and 139 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: I want it to be a functioning program for people. 140 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know. Man, we sit here, we talk 141 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: about it. Look at this foreign spending we're doing. Why 142 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: are we getting it? That's why it ties in, That's 143 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: that's why give me any of these countries. 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: And to notice, is there anyone who has been more 145 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: vocally in support of Israel? Well, period, but also since 146 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: October seventh, then we have been on this show. I 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: don't think yesterday. I tell there's a Look, what do 148 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: you mean you're talking? Israel's a wealthy country. Why are 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: we giving Israel sixteen billion dollars. Why do we give 150 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: it three billion dollars every year? And it's not just Israel. 151 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 3: Why are we giving sixty billion dollars to Ukraine? Why 152 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: do we have the foreign aid budget that we have 153 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: in total? What are we are you getting for this? 154 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: I agree completely, and I think it. Look if you want. 155 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: To give to charity, because let's be honest, that's basically 156 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: what we're doing here, then most of you, if you 157 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: run ran your household, you wouldn't go in debt to 158 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: donate to charity. In fact, your husband or wife, if 159 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: you sat down at the table and you said, hey, 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: for part of our budget this year, I want to 161 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: give five thousand dollars in charity on the credit card, 162 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: every single one of you out there would look at 163 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: your spouse like they were absolutely insane if you wouldn't 164 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: do in your household what the United States government is 165 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: doing for our entire household and buck. I don't see 166 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: this as democrat. I don't see this as republican. I 167 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: don't see this as independent. To me, anyone voting to 168 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: give one hundred billion dollars rounding up from ninety five 169 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: or ninety six billion to foreign countries when we are 170 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: thirty five trillion dollars in debt. I think your analogy 171 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: with global warming is it's a really good one. One 172 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: of the biggest issues in life. This is me giving 173 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: you a little bit of a ted talk. Is most 174 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: people fear things which in reality are not threats to them, 175 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: and you spend a lot of time being fearful of 176 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: things that are never going to be an issue in 177 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: your life. You and I are in our forties. I've 178 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: got three kids, sixteen, thirteen, and nine. I'm building a 179 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: beach house. I've said before, I ain't worried about the 180 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: rising oceans. All right, maybe it's going to be an 181 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: issue for my beach house. If so I was wrong, 182 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: I'll deal with it. I am insanely worried about the 183 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: fact that at some point in my kids' lives, maybe 184 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: even some point in my life, we're going to be 185 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: one hundred trillion dollars in debt. And if you don't 186 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: think that our adversaries out there are not planning on 187 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: bankrupting this country, everybody wants to talk about, Oh there's 188 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: a new threat from Russia. Oh there's a new threat 189 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: from China. Today the big looming asteroid that is aimed 190 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: right for America that is in danger of obliterating this 191 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: country is We're gonna have fifty five trillion dollars in 192 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: debt a decade from now, and then just the interest 193 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: on our national debt is going to become soon the 194 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: biggest single expenditure that this country has. Well, this is 195 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: a long I. 196 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: There's a long history of this of fiat currency. You 197 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: can go back and even look at the usage of 198 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: paper currency in you know, China over a thousand years ago. 199 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: I mean, there's when when once they start printing it 200 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: in paper, and once the money has no intrinsic value 201 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 3: is not backed by anything, what happens. Inflation happens, and 202 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 3: inflation we all know what that does, particularly to the 203 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: who don't hold assets. And then that the political This 204 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 3: is the problem we're in right now, the political mechanism 205 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 3: to check it. Even in a republic like ours, right 206 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: even in a system where the people who are suffering 207 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: from the inflation, who are suffering from these decisions are 208 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: the ones who are supposed to be able to make 209 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: it right, no one can win and get the power 210 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: they need to solve the problem because the person who says, 211 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: keep eating those treats. They won't make you fat. Keep 212 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: eating a whole chocolate cake every night. There's no problem 213 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: with it. That person wins because they're appealing to the 214 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: immediate and they're appealing to the sense that I get mine. 215 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 3: I'm not worried about what comes down the line. That 216 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: is what it is bipartisan in this country. It is 217 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: the truth. And you're not even really here. You know, 218 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 3: we're hopefully going to elect a president who's obviously far 219 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: better than Joe Biden. 220 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's not going to touch the debt. Anyone to anyone, 221 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: take bets on that one. Not going to touch the debt. 222 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: He's going to spend a lot. Just Donald Trump. 223 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: We spend six trillion dollars last year in office. Everybody, 224 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: I know it was COVID. 225 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 4: I know. 226 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 5: Oh, we can't. We can't blame Trump for anything. Look, 227 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 5: I love the guy. I'm hoping he's going to be president. 228 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 5: But if we're talking about the debt, you know, this 229 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 5: is the situation, folks. I don't know, man, I just. 230 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: You are a bummer on Valentine's I just I think 231 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: it ties in so much with the failure that we 232 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: have from our elected officials. We are thirty five trillion 233 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: dollars in debt, and they are telling us it's anti 234 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: American if we won't take out one hundred billion dollars 235 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: in additional debt and send it to foreign countries to 236 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: protect their own border while our border is wide open. 237 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: And this to a large extent, and the Senate is bipartisan, 238 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: and I just look at it and I say, no 239 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: one would run their family finances like the United States 240 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: government does. And just think about it. If you donating 241 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: to Cherry's a fabulous thing to do. If you were 242 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: donating five thousand dollars to charity on your credit card 243 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: that you didn't have, and you were going to have 244 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: to pay interest on that donation, none of you would 245 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: do it. And if you had a spouse that suggested it, 246 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: you would tell them that they're crazy. Well, you're saying 247 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: an American, Your your. 248 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: Analogy is is actually people are are saying, hey, let's 249 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: do something really nice for some other family. Let's do 250 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: something really nice for some other family, because it's going 251 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: on someone else's credit card. And that's what people don't realize. 252 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: It's actually our credit card. It's the credit the faith 253 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: and credit of the American people, and we're all in 254 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: it together on the dollar. It's not even a partisan thing. 255 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 3: I don't want the dollar to collapse for any of us, 256 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: because then it collapses for all of us. 257 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: And also to then argue that if I'm opposed to that, 258 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: I'm not an American, that it's an American to be 259 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: opposed to spending one hundred billion dollars on somebody else's border. 260 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: If we had a budget surplus, that's a conversation we 261 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: could have. We don't have a budget surplus. In fact, 262 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm concerned that all of this is going to blow 263 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: up one day. We're going to try to sell debt 264 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: and there ain't gonna be a buyer, and what happens, 265 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: then look out, I mean look out in a big way. 266 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: In the meantime, Oh man, let's have some fun.

Valentine's Day, 341 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: Mother's Day, and New Year's Eve as a man, seem 342 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: to be days that are designed primarily where men can 343 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: only do things wrong. That is, where things can only 344 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: go awry, relationships can be torn asunder. Is there a 345 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: female equivalent for relationship days? In your opinion that women 346 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: feel similarly pressured as men do on the three days 347 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: that I just mentioned. 348 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 4: No, of course not, because men are far easier creatures 349 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: than women. Sorry, that's just how it goes. We look good, 350 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: but we're complicated, and you guys, you know, less complicated. 351 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 4: But if you have other pluses and minuses, so. 352 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: There's never a day, there's never a day, Carol where 353 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, if I screw this up, 354 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to deal with issues from my husband. 355 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: Because you can just put it. There's the thing every 356 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: woman knows. You can just put on a nice dress. Right, 357 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: and your husband will and heals, and your husband will 358 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: forgive almost everything right. 359 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 4: Or take that nice dress off and everything you know, 360 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 4: you're good to go. 361 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: It's true, Carol, we got one here from our VIP Tracy. 362 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: She writes Clay and Bucket. If I'm out of breath, 363 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 3: it's because I had to sprint to Carry's going to 364 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 3: be back any second, and it's a live show. I 365 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: had to sprint to get the flowers because otherwise they're 366 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 3: just gonna be like left by the gate, and I 367 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 3: have them to be in the home. So anyway, I 368 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 3: had to get the flowers, bring them up, set them up. Oof, man, 369 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: I gotta do more cardio. Tracy writes in Clay and 370 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: buck I worked at a grocery store. While going to 371 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 3: I learned how frustrated men were on Valentine's Day as 372 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: they were scrambling to find something to drag home to 373 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 3: appease the wife. They would tell me how livid they 374 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 3: were they had to rush the store to get some 375 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: gift for their partner, always claiming it's not good enough 376 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: for her. And I'm going to hear about my shortcomings 377 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: and choosing her a gift, isn't it more? True now 378 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: than ever, Carol, that when it comes to Valentine's Day, 379 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: it is the thought that counts, Like if you get 380 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: a smooch and a single rose, like that should be it. This, 381 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 3: this whole holiday strikes me as missing the points sometimes. 382 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: So it's funny. Because of the three holidays you mentioned, 383 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 4: I don't do two of them, New Year's e've and 384 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 4: Valentine's Day. I just I'm not into it. We've never 385 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 4: celebrated them. I mean, you know, we make get together, 386 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 4: we're friends on New Year's Eve, but we're never the 387 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 4: people who like get the five thousand dollars prefix menu 388 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 4: at the restaurant and go to some hot party. Never 389 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: and Valentine's Day, I just I find it cheesy. I 390 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: try not to rain on other people's parades about it. 391 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 4: So I don't, you know, write long, thin pieces about 392 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: how val Times Day, this is this corporate holiday all that. 393 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: But I love Mother's Day and Mother's Day. I mean, 394 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 4: I gave you three children. It better be the biggest 395 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 4: day of the year. You better have thought about it 396 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: in an advance. I don't want you waking up on 397 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: the Sunday morning and being like, oh, where do you 398 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: want to go today. Absolutely not. But I have to 399 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 4: say that it's the thought that really women are missing. 400 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: I don't think that they care very much about what 401 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 4: the grand gestures mean. Maybe some do, but you know, 402 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 4: don't marry women like that. I think it's the thought 403 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: that they feel like men are not putting into it, 404 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 4: and that for me, again, on Mother's Day, it would 405 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: be less about how much he's spent on the gift 406 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 4: or whatever, but then he's considered in an advance he 407 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: didn't just you know, wing it, And that's really what 408 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 4: it's all about. 409 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So here's my thing on Mother's Day? How old 410 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: are your kids now, Carol? 411 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 4: They're fourteen, eleven, and eight. 412 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: Okay, at what point do these bastards have to start 413 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: pulling their own weight? Because my kids are sixteen, thirteen 414 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: and nine and I've been covering for their asses for 415 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: their entire lives, making sure that they're good from Mother's Day. 416 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: At what age do they have to own that it's 417 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: their mom, not my mom? Like I got to tell you, 418 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: this was one of the things I wasn't prepared for 419 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: as a dad. I didn't know that I would have 420 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: to be covering for my kids on Mother's day for 421 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: someone who's not even my own mom. 422 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 4: Right, but she is the mom of your children. She 423 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 4: gave you the babies. 424 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: It's but when do they have to start carrying their 425 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: own weight here on Mother's Day? When do I get 426 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: to take a step back? 427 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, you're right, at some point the 428 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 4: baton has to be handed over. But you know, can 429 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 4: they make their own reservations? Can they figure out where 430 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 4: mom needs to go? 431 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: You're still paying, so I'm going to pay for everything 432 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. Honestly, this is what 433 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm coming to.

My birthday is a 460 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 4: big deal. Again, Mother's Day is a big deal. But 461 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 4: these other holidays we literally don't even acknowledge it. Like 462 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: we did not wish each other a happy Valentine's Day today. 463 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 4: You know what I have enjoyed Like in the past, 464 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 4: when we first got married, you know, we didn't celebrate 465 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: Valentine's Day. I said I wasn't into it, and my 466 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 4: husband was obviously really happy to hear that. But then 467 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 4: like a few years in, like on February twelfth. I'd 468 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 4: like to I'd like to say, like, oh, hey, what 469 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 4: are we doing for Valentine's Day? And watch the look 470 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 4: of like fear in his face. It's a really good time. 471 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: It only works once or twice, but that is fantom 472 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't even think about the anniversary. 473 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Women just stack a series of obligations on men who 474 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: were birthday to like, so many different things out there 475 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: that we are awful at, and it's like a constant 476 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: test that we fail. And I don't understand, Like there's 477 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: no equivalent that men do to women, right, Like, there's 478 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: no day that I can point to and say, if 479 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: you care about me, you will be perfect on this day. 480 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 4: Right. No, Again, we have higher expectations and that's the 481 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 4: way it works. You know, are your low The low 482 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 4: expectations that we have of men never works out for them. 483 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 4: They need that higher bar to clear. It's part of 484 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 4: the whole, you know, evolution of the species. 485 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: Carol, What do you got on the podcast people have? 486 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: For people who have not yet listened to your podcast, 487 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: what will they find when they go listen to it? 488 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: In the Clay and Buck feed. 489 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: It's a podcast about life It's a podcast where I 490 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 4: ask people about how they got to where they are 491 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 4: in their career, whether they think that they've made it, 492 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: you know, suggestions that they have for my listeners on 493 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 4: how they can improve their lives.

I thought it was very good to 592 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: get Carol's perspective on all this, and I would just 593 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 3: say for all the ladies out there, go easy on 594 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 3: your guy today if he's if he makes an effort 595 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 3: that's it is really a thought that counts kind of 596 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 3: a day. And you know I I I'm a believer, 597 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 3: for example, And we don't even do adult Christmas presence 598 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: meaning sorry, Christmas presence for adults. 599 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: Among members of my you know, my family. 600 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: We don't, you know, makes it sound like we're giving 601 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: boozs to each other or something, but no, we don't 602 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 3: give presents to each other because we want it to 603 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: be about spending time with each other. So I think 604 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 3: a flower, a kiss, a kiss, a you know, thank 605 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 3: you for being my everything. That's that's what it should 606 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: really be about today. Except we've been a little cynical today, Clay, 607 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: So I think we need to keep everybody on the 608 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 3: same page with that. We have a nice song there 609 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 3: to get us in the right mood. And Damon writes 610 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 3: in uh, el Fitzger, el Fitzgerald, good choice, Buck or 611 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 3: Sarah Vaughan. But Clay probably doesn't know who they are. 612 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 3: I think that's unfair, Damon. I think Clay knows who 613 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: they are. Who is the second person? 614 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: Sarah Vaughan. I never have heard of Sarah Vaughan in 615 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: my life.
