1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Third hour Clay and Buck kicks off 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: right now, and we had some breaking news from overseas 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to. There was a massive 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: explosion in Iran, actually two explosions, two bombs, killing one 6 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: hundred and three people earlier today and over two hundred wounded. 7 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: This was in the city of Kerman, which is about 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: five hundred miles southeast of Tehran, the capital of Iran, 9 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: and it was a horrific scene you have over I mean, 10 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: for over one hundred people to die in twin blasts 11 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: is indicator of These were powerful explosives, a lot of shrapnel. 12 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: And this was also symbolic, this strike because it was 13 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: at the fourth anniversary of the killing of General Cossim Solomoni. 14 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Now you will, i'm sure, recall that Cossam Solomoni was 15 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: killed in Iraq by a us drone under the Trump administration, 16 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: and it was something that Donald Trump initially received some criticism, 17 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: of course from the foreign policy intelligensia about, but it 18 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: turned out that it was the right move. Cossam Solomoni 19 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: was a mastermind of terror attacks around the world because 20 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: he was the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard KODS 21 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: force Coods's word for Jerusalem. That tells you something. And 22 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the IRGC is the external well is the operations arm 23 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: of the Iranian revolution. KUODS is the external arm of it. 24 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: And there was the blood of many, many America and 25 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: soldiers on the hands of Costum Soulomaning. He helped mastermind 26 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: the creation and deployment during the US occupation of Iraq 27 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: of EFP's explosively formed penetrators, these shape charges that would 28 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: punch a piece of molten copper through the whole of 29 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: an armored US armored vehicle not anymore thanks to Donald 30 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: Trump as commander in chief. I gave him full credit 31 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: for this at the time, and I think it's another 32 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: one of these moments where a lot of people who 33 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: even were favorably disposed toward Trump thought maybe on foreign policy, 34 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: you know who knows, right, he didn't have any foreign 35 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: policy experience before becoming president. But if you look at 36 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: his foreign policy record, it is first of all, the 37 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: no New Wars thing, pretty big deal, well done on that. 38 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: You look at his foreign policy record, it was actually 39 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: one of the strongest areas foreign policy. I think you 40 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: could argue in the war years of Trump was one 41 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: of the strongest portfolios he had, and that includes US 42 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: trade with China taking action on that. It includes the 43 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: renegotiation of the US Mexico Canada trade agreement, and these 44 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: are things that he did often. At the We're getting 45 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: a lot of criticism from people on the right, as 46 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: I've said, who would say, oh, this is you know, 47 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: trade wars lead to real wars, and oh my gosh, 48 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: he killed Costum Solomoni. Now the Iranians are really going 49 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: to get us. Well, we're the ones who are in 50 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: the position of strength. Although you don't get that feeling 51 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: when you have a Democrat administration like Joe Biden's administration 52 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: in charge. You don't get the sense that America has 53 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: the most powerful and capable and fearsome military machine of 54 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: any country, any state, any entity in the history of 55 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: the planet. You don't get that sense sometimes when a 56 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Democrat like Biden is running things, even though it is 57 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: still true. But the killing of Costom Solomani was a 58 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: at the time, a bold move because the conventional wisdom 59 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: had been he's too important to Iran If we do 60 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: something against Costom Solomani. Oh my gosh, the backlash against US. No, 61 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: that wasn't true, because the Iranians, no backlash. Okay, you 62 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: want to. You know, Costam Solimani was a legitimate target 63 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: for all the reasons I laid out. He's traveling as 64 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: an enemy combatant in a theater of war. And you know, 65 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: they at some level also recognize one thing the Iranian 66 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Mullahs in general recognize is force, 67 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: because Mike makes right in their world, and we have 68 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot more force to deploy than they do. 69 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that we go looking for fights and 70 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: a reckless but it does mean that when you're killing 71 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: American soldiers, you don't get to get away with it. 72 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: When you're just orchestrating the deaths of Americans and also 73 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the loss of arms and limbs and sight of American 74 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: soldiers because Cossam Solomoni thinks that it advances the interests 75 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: of Iran, He's got to be a dead man. That's 76 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: just a question of when. And that the fact that 77 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: they have this commemoration of Costam Solomony is certainly a 78 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: window into what matters in the Islamic Republic. Revolutionary Republic 79 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: of Iran. You know, it's definitely not republic a real republic, 80 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: but anyway, certainly what matters there. And now we get 81 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: to what happens in response to this, because this is 82 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: a big thing, multiple explosions killing one hundred plus people 83 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: at a symbol of Iranian state mourning. There's already reporting. 84 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm seeing this reporting that strikes me as well. A 85 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: lot of the people reporting on the stuff don't really 86 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: know anything, so it's not surprising they're saying, well, you know, 87 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Israel killed a be Root based Hamas leader yesterday, and 88 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: they throw that in there like, well, this has to 89 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: do with that. Yeah, but Israel hasn't done dual bombings 90 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: killing over one hundred people. I assume most, if not 91 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: all civilians. That's not in the Israeli m O targeted 92 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: assassinations of enemy combatants that they do. But this could 93 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: be any number of different extremist entities and groups in 94 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: Iran that operate within Iran. It could be a Sunni 95 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: militant group. There are a number of different factions inside 96 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: of Iran that oppose the regime. So it's just not 97 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: clear who did this yet. No one has yet taken responsibility. 98 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: But there will certainly be people in the Middle East 99 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: who will just for even if they don't believe it. 100 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: You know, there'll be leadership that says that somehow this 101 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: is tied to it to Israel, just to fan the 102 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: flames of hatred even more. But it's a reminder I 103 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: think also, you know, we have an election coming up, 104 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: and I saw these numbers. I'll share this with you. 105 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Four in ten Americans according to a recent poll. I'm 106 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: trying to see what the polling company was here. I 107 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: cut off the link when I was doing my research, 108 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: but four in ten Americans say foreign policy should be 109 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: top priority in twenty twenty four top priority. Well, it's 110 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: worth looking at the record of the Biden regime on 111 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: this issue, I used to say, and I believe it 112 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: is very it's a very defensible point, because it's very 113 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: true that the greatest source of weakness. Isn't this all 114 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: amazing when you tie this together, my friends, the greatest 115 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: source of weakness for the Obama administration over its eight years. 116 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of stuff that you could throw 117 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: out there right now, a lot of things you could 118 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: say and I would say, Okay, yeah, that's that's a valid, 119 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: valid entry into the worst category for the Obama administration. 120 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: But I think foreign policy was the single biggest, most obvious, 121 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, realm of just one debacle after another under Obama. 122 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: And the way you could see this was everything every 123 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: area of the world look our foreign policy, you know, 124 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: vis A, vi Bolivia, or Thailand in any given moment, 125 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: that doesn't really matter all that much. Right, I'm not 126 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: saying those countries wi't matter and those people that I'm 127 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: just saying there are challenges and hot spots, and there 128 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: are places that are pretty much status quo. And when 129 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: you looked at the hot spots under the Obama administration, 130 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: they all got worse. They all got worse in the 131 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Obama years. As a result of Obama decisions, you had 132 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the collapse of Iraq and the rise of ISIS. You 133 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: had you know, the Taliban with stand the surge in 134 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Helmand and Condahar in Afghanistan, and US the surge and 135 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: withdrawal plan. He said, we're surging, but we're withdrawing, and 136 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: he put out the dates. The whole thing was a mess. 137 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: Our relationship with Pakistan deteriorated, not that it was a 138 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: great relationship anyway. The situation in Syria completely fell apart, 139 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: turned into Syrian Civil War. I mean, I could do 140 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: the whole show just on and not ben Ghazi. I 141 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: know some of you're probably saying Benghazi Leibia. Of course 142 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: a mess, one mess after another. And why is this? 143 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: I think noteworthy in this moment, at this point in time, 144 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: who was appointed by Barack Obama to be in essence, 145 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: de facto foreign policy chief for his administration to handle 146 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: these issues, including, you know, handling negotiations in a place 147 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: like Ukraine and whether they'd get a billion dollar loan 148 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: guarantee or not only if you get rid of that prosecutor. 149 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: Remember this, it's Joe Biden. Joe Biden somehow managed to 150 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: be in this upside down world of Democrats where true 151 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: is false and false is true. Biden became the addition 152 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: to the Obama ticket that was supposed to bring foreign 153 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: policy wisdom into the situation, and it was actually a 154 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: shambles for eight years. I used to even when I 155 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: was at CNN, I would debate Libs on Obama foreign policy. 156 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: They would just get absolutely crushed, not just because I 157 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: know more than them, which I did not to be 158 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: that guy, but I did, But beyond that because the 159 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: record was so weak, you know, I mean, if we're 160 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: talking about a football team and they're to twelve, I 161 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: think it's pretty easy to make the case that they're 162 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: not a very good football team. Right. That was the 163 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: Obama administration on foreign policy. Oh in twelve or fourteen 164 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: or however many games or a season. I have no idea, Clay, 165 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: where are you? But this is I think a place 166 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: where you will see if the Republican candidates and likely 167 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Trump can focus the American people's attention on this enough. 168 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: The withdrawal in Afghanistan was an absolute debacle. The situation 169 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: in the Middle East has been getting much more volatile. 170 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: It's always a little volatile, it's the Middle East, but 171 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: it's getting much more valid under Joe Biden's tenure. And 172 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: then the Ukraine Russia war, which I think has been 173 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: really filled with the Obama administration has led a delusional 174 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: narrative on this. It is delusional to think that the 175 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: Ukrainian military, even with all the support and all the 176 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: money we give them, is going to be able to 177 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: defeat and end the Russians by military means. It's delusional, 178 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: but that's what we've been told time and again, look 179 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: at the New York Times. Oh, this spring offensive is 180 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: going to come through. It's a failure. And you have 181 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: to wonder if this does turn into a negotiated settlement, 182 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: will the Obama I'm sorry, the Biden administration, which is 183 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: really just the continuation of the third term of Obama anyway, 184 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: But will the Biden administration push back any negotiations We 185 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: already know they've they've meddled before in this to stop 186 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: a negotiated settlement that was reported very early in that conflict. 187 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: Will the will the Biden administration delay a settlement to 188 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: what's going on in Ukraine and Russia? Because and there's 189 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: so many ways they can do it. Oh, we just 190 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: think maybe one more fighting season and they'll get the 191 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: upper hand. I mean, there's they can always justify this, 192 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: but in reality, will they do it? Because they don't 193 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: want Biden to have to turn around to all the 194 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: people putting Ukraine flags in their Twitter bios and say, yeah, 195 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: all that fighting and all that stuff, we really just 196 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: should have negotiated from the beginning, because what about all 197 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian soldiers who have lost their lives in the 198 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: last year. What was that for If it's just going 199 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: to turn into Ukraine, gives some territory and Russia stops 200 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: the military onslaught. What was the delay for? Was it necessary? Now? 201 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: I know people could argue, oh, well they had to, 202 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, they had to bleed the Russians more before 203 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: they would come to the table. Yeah, but we heard 204 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: that really wasn't the case in the beginning. A promise, 205 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: a guarantee of Ukraine not joining NATO and some territory 206 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: in the east of the country, and this thing could 207 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: be over. But nope, nope, a lot of Ukraine flags 208 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: and they're gonna they're gonna defeat that. There was a 209 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: time when there were lunatics running around saying maybe this 210 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: means the end of Putin and you know, the whole 211 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: government in Moscow is gonna fall and Russia is gonna 212 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it got crazy. You remember on that. It's 213 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: a mess. It's a mess. And so if these polls 214 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: are right, and there's there are forty percent of Americans 215 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: now who think the foreign policy is important, to think 216 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: it's the most important issue. I'll be honest with you. 217 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: I that seems high to me, but I can understand, 218 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: given what's going on, why people. Have you mentioned China 219 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: and Taiwan. It's a whole other part of this. But 220 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: they have the wrong team in charge. Everyone, they have 221 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: the wrong team in charge. They're the wrong team in 222 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: charge for eight years of Obama and now we're going 223 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: to the fourth year of a disastrous Bide administration and 224 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: we all know it. Blinking is is a buffoon. The 225 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: people that are entrusted to do what is in the 226 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: American people's best interest on the global stage are clowns. 227 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: They're clowns. And you know, people can say whatever they 228 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: want about Trump's style and Trump's verbiage and everything else. 229 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: Look at the foreign policy results. Put them up against 230 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: any Democrat going back for decades and say that he's 231 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: done much better. He's done much better. So maybe this 232 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: is something that moves the needle in a meaningful way 233 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: in this election year. I certainly hope that it does. 234 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: All Right, start a year off with a great project 235 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: for the family.

Truth Seeking, 254 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: Reality Telling The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. So 255 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: we were talking about Biden just now and how is 256 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: a failure on foreign policy. We're talking about Claudine Gay 257 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: in the first hour and how she's a plagiarist. Let's 258 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: do a little flashback. You're gonna combine these ideas. Joe 259 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Biden the plagiarist. This is back in nineteen eighty seven. 260 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear it. Biden's side by side with British 261 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: Member of Parliament Neil Kinnock. Hmmm, it might sound kind 262 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: of familiar. Play it. Why am I the first Kinnick 263 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: in a thousand generations to be able to get the university? 264 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in 265 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: his family ever to go to a university? 266 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: Was it because they were weak? Those people who could 267 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: work eight hours the underground and then came up and 268 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: played football week. 269 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: My ancestors who worked in the coal mines in northeast Pennsylvania, 270 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: who come up after twelve hours and play football for 271 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: four hours. No, it's not because because they weren't as smart. 272 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: It's not because it didn't work as hard. 273 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: It's because they didn't. 274 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: Have a platform upon which to stand. It was because 275 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 2: there was no platform upon which they could stand. 276 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: I think it goes on. But yeah, Joe Biden's like, 277 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take a speech that some other dude 278 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: said in England because you know who's gonna figure that out? 279 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give that speech like it's my speech 280 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: and no one's gonna notice. Well, Joe, it turns out 281 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: actually and that really sunk his first presidential bid. The 282 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: thing I will say about Joe Biden that you you 283 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: have to look at with some degree of awe is 284 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: his just utter shamelessness. Fifty years in politics of pure shamelessness. 285 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: It's amazing. So many people use the beginning of a 286 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: year as a time to reset how they're spending and 287 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: to save some money off your cell phone service.

So I uh, I broke one 305 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: of my own rules. Over the holiday. I went to 306 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: see a movie in a movie theater on my birthday. 307 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: I went to see the Ferrari movie about Enzo Ferrari. 308 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: Which is the way that Adam Driver sounds when he's 309 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: playing Enzo Ferrari. It's like it's like a guy who's 310 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: hired to play Mario and Luigi at a kid's birthday party. 311 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, my name is Enzo. I make a 312 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: the pizza on the spaghetti. It is not good. It 313 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: is not good. Some people can disagree with me on 314 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: the Ferrari movie. The first hour is absolutely brutal hour 315 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: and change. You're just watching like miserable people and this 316 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: and a failing or failed marriage. And there's nothing really 317 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: about the cars. And I mean there's one scene, there's 318 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: one scene where Enzo for now, look understand, Ferrari had 319 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: all these brilliant For those of you who are gonna 320 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: come at me on this one. Ferrari's are amazing pieces 321 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: of really art and engineering, and unfortunately I get subjected 322 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: to far too many of them revving their motors outside 323 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: my house in Miami, because a lot of Ferrari's here. 324 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: But they're beautiful cars and have been for a very 325 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: long time, and it's one of the most recognizable and 326 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: iconic brands on the planet. People just wear t shirts 327 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: with Ferrari symbol on it because it's cool, you know, 328 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: and obviously the increasing popularity of Formula One and the 329 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: Ferrari team. Scuderia Ferrari Suderia is Italian for stable, like 330 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: the stable full of the horses, Ferrari horses or Scuderia scuderia. 331 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: Is that how they say it. I don't know. I 332 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: don't other than me Kiamo buck, I don't really know 333 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: what to say in Italian. But I went to see 334 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: the movie, and you know, people can agree disagree. I 335 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever 336 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: seen in a movie theater. You know, Yeah, the racing 337 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: sequences were kind of cool, but before anyone says, oh, 338 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: you just don't like racing or something, Ford versus Ferrari 339 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: is a great movie, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, great movie 340 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: and dealt with some of the Ferrari stuff in a 341 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: much better movie than this. Trying to think of Oh 342 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: I love the what was the one Rush? Great movie, 343 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: really entertaining, really well done. The guy they have playing 344 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: Niki Lauda, the storied Formula one racer who's just passed 345 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: away a few years ago, does an incredible job playing 346 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: Niki Lauda. And it's a really good movie. So I 347 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: like race car movies. Just understand, I went to this 348 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: movie to like this movie. It is not a good movie. 349 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: The accents are ridiculous. Penelope pru Cruz is a Spanish 350 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: actress who speaks English with a Spanish accent, and now 351 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to speak English with an Italian accent. I 352 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: got news for you. It doesn't work out so well. 353 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 3: Uh. 354 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: And then also the the like mistress of Enzo Ferrari. 355 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: You know he's Italian, He's got a mistress. You know 356 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: that one does back in the day in Italy. I 357 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: guess she has no accent suddenly like she sounds like 358 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: she's from Iowa or something, you know. So the whole 359 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: thing it's a mess. At one point He points to 360 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: a couple of pigeons and he says, freedom for that 361 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: pigeon is pie. I was like, is that supposed to be? 362 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: Is this supposed to be clever? Like, well, what does 363 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: that even mean? Is? I thought it was horrible. Some 364 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: people disagree with my I'll tell you. My brother and 365 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: my dad's always with me. They thought it was horrible too. 366 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: And there's a really graphic scene in it, like way 367 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: more graphic traffic act or you know, racing accent, a 368 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: traffic accident, racing accident that I needed to be But 369 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: my biggest problem with it isn't even uh, it isn't 370 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: even that. The movie I thought absolutely stunk. I give 371 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: it like a d. My biggest problem isn't so much that. 372 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: My biggest problem with it. Also, you hate Adam Driver, 373 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: you hate Enzo Ferrari, and this guy said all this 374 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: really interesting stuff. You know, he would say things. The 375 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: real Enzo Ferrari said things like tell a child to 376 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: draw a car and he will make it red. And 377 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: that's why Ferrari had to be read because of the 378 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: wonderment of what a child thinks of as what a 379 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: beautiful race car is. You know, he says things like 380 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: he was a great agitator of men and that was 381 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: really his skill set, was that he knew how to 382 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: get people to do their best anyway. And then the 383 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: movie you get none of that. You just get the 384 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: guy who's like, oh, like, I'm my car company is 385 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: a running out of mindey and I cheat on my 386 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: wife and a very mean man, and I don't love anybody. 387 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: You're like, what is this? 388 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: Like? 389 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: Why am I watching this? There's no sense of the 390 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: story of Ferrari and the the place that it goes to, 391 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: and then it becomes this incredible and iconic brand anyway, 392 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: and I hate it. The worst part of the whole experience, though, 393 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: and I'm not alone in this. I can bring you 394 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: all back to agree with me on this one is 395 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: that they had me sit through thirty minutes of not 396 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: even previews. I actually I'm old school. I like previews 397 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: when they're pretty good. Now it's not as exciting as 398 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: it used to be when I was a kid in 399 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: the golden era of cinema that was the nineteen nineties, 400 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: because now you can go online. There are websites, you know, 401 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: on YouTube, you can see every major movie trail or 402 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: whenever you want. You can watch it on your phone, 403 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: so it's really not like the unveiling of some cool 404 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: new movie. You know, if you were in theaters and 405 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: you saw the trailer for Terminator two back in the day, 406 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, I gotta wait seven months 407 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: or something to see this. That's going to be amazing. 408 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: Though you don't really have that anymore. But I kind 409 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: of like trailers. I'm okay with it movies now. And 410 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: maybe you know, I don't know how many of you 411 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: have experienced this yourselves. It's like some torture chamber where 412 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: they make you sit there for thirty minutes watching crappy commercials, 413 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: not even trailers, commercials like you know, hey, you must 414 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: buy this candy, and you're sitting there like, I don't 415 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: I've paid I don't even know. My brother took me 416 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: because my birthday. You know, you're paying twenty five dollars 417 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: a seat or something crazy for the movie. Now you're 418 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: paying twenty five dollars. You're already in there for like 419 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: two hours in change, which is really longer than I 420 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: want to sit in any chair other than this radio chair. 421 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: And then and they make you shit through crappy commercial 422 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: so they can you know, further mind, they're just monetizing 423 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: your time. The movie theaters are being disrespectful of the 424 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: customer's time. And so I'm just telling you I'm not 425 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: going back to a movie theater. I'm out. I'm done. 426 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: I've said this before. Some of you have listened to 427 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: me for many years now, I've been I've been through 428 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: this before. I can't do this anymore. But I can't. 429 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. The experience at home. I 430 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: sit there, I go. I've got a flat screen half 431 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: carry is here at Asker. I don't know how big 432 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: art she got our TV. I think it's like sixty 433 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: five inches. We got a big flat screen TV. And 434 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: now huge flat screen TVs you can get for you know, 435 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: a couple of hundred bucks. Basically, it's technology has gotten 436 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: so inexpensive. And you got a huge flat screen TV. 437 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: I got a giant comfortable couch. I got refrigerator with 438 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: all my favorite food. I got my cute little dog. 439 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Granted now is like the size of snuffleophagus because she's 440 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: hit fifteen pounds and I can't believe how fast she's 441 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: growing up. But I got the cute little dog, and 442 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: and I have no one talking, no one looking at 443 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: their phone, and no one making me watch thirty minutes 444 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: of pre roll thirty minutes of pre roll commercials. It 445 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: was truly thirty minutes long. And I see there's someone 446 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: a here we go, there's some of the film. Writer 447 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Richard Zoglin has demanded now that movie theaters cite their 448 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: actual start time for the movie. No more getting people 449 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: to show up for a three o'clock movie and the 450 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: film starts at three thirty five. I don't want to 451 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: shit in a movie theater and watch commercials. Obviously. Now 452 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: I know some of you can say, oh, well you should. 453 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: First of all, I didn't know that they did this 454 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: because I can god the movies never and if you're 455 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: anything like me after this experience, you're not going back 456 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: to the movies. So they're doing all the wrong things here. 457 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: The only thing that's gotten better about movies recently is 458 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: they finally figured out I remember that if you had 459 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: someone who was too tall sitting in front of you. 460 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: When I was growing up going to the movies, you 461 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't see anything. You just start at the back, and 462 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: if someone had like a really stupid hat on, you're 463 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: just standing at their hat the whole movie. You know, 464 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: you couldn't see anything. But yeah, I just got to 465 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: tell you that was what I gave you a bunch 466 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: of things in my review of Ferrari, which I thought 467 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: was absolutely horrible. And uh, and then I tell you 468 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: that the movie theater experience. I don't know how the 469 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: movie theaters are staying in business. Honestly. I know that 470 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: for people, there's like a nostalgia factor to it. Look, 471 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: I fell for it. I went with my dad, my brother. 472 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: We were trying to watch the movie No guy, guys, 473 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: guys day at the movie theater, watching for I was 474 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: pouring rain here in Miami, so there's nothing. You know, 475 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: it's pouring rain in Miami. You know, I read books 476 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: all the time, so that's not like, oh, I'm gonna 477 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: read a book today. It was on my vacation and 478 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: so we went and see it. And it's just I 479 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: can't imagine that the movie business can continue like this. Uh. 480 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: Speaking of the movie business, there's a an outspoken feminist 481 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: director who has been tapped to run this Star Wars franchise. 482 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: Now going forward, anyone want to place bets on how 483 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: this one's gonna go? Hmm, we'll talk about that probably 484 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more tomorrow. But yeah, bucks movie reviews, 485 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: Ciskel and Ebert have got nothing on, nothing on me. 486 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: I remember them from back in the day. Actually, did 487 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: one of them? Pardon me? Did one of them pass away? 488 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: Are they both? They're both okay? Good? Am I right? 489 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 2: No? 490 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: I think one of them passing. I'm sorry.

But you can. 562 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: You can tweet at me on X and I will 563 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: probably see it, and I will probably tell you if 564 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: you like the Ferrari movie that you are wrong. But 565 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: I would say this the other movie that we that 566 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: I was thinking about, and I'm really disappointed because I 567 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: like Michael Mann, who directed Ferrari a lot as a director. 568 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: I love Last the Mokends. I think it's a phenomenally 569 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: good movie start to finish. Daniel de Lewis starring in 570 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: that one. I like Heat another excellent. It's thirty minutes 571 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: too long. They needed an editor. It's thirty minutes too long. 572 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: I could cut thirty minutes of fat out of it. 573 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: But Heat's a very very good movie. The gun sequence 574 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: is obviously incredible. To sit down between Pacino and de 575 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: Niro over coffee is as just quite a moment in 576 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: cinematic history. But you know, I just was expecting more 577 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: from Michael Mann on this one. I know he's gotten 578 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: a bit older. Same thing with Ridley Scott and the 579 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: and the Napoleon movie, which I have not seen, and 580 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: I really wanted a good Napoleon movie. You know, it 581 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: was amazing to me. I really want a good Napoleon. 582 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that the Denzel Washington starring Hannibal movie about 583 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: Hannibal Barka not in the Second Punic War Ancient Rome, 584 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: not you know, Hannibal, the guy that you know eats 585 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: people's liver with fava beans or whatever. Yeah, that's a 586 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: different Hannibal. I'm hoping that will be a good movie 587 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: or a good show. I think it's a show that 588 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: they're making for Netflix. But a lot of the team here, well, 589 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: we got one thumbs up one thumbs down on the 590 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: gods Zilla movie. And what I guess I have to 591 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: ask is team, would I like that movie? Because I 592 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: do the fantasy genre stuff, I'm okay like I like 593 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones a lot. Lord of the Rings is, 594 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, amazing to me, and the Hobbit since I 595 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: was a kid of the Hobbit movie was a mess, 596 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: but the Lord of the Rings trilogy was phenomenal. I 597 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: don't know if I would like the gods I'm usually 598 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: not a Godzilla guy. I guess that's what I'm saying. 599 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: But people are telling me that the god Zilla movie 600 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: is really really good. Okay, Ali's telling me I'll be 601 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: impressed by the special effects. Do you like the original 602 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: Godzilla movie from nineteen fifty four? The team is telling 603 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: me that you got to go check it out. All right, 604 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: let's take some of the calls here. Raoul in Houston, Texas. 605 00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: What's going on, Raoul, Well, lady Hayley. 606 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 3: Nicky Haley wants to draw Donald Trump into a debate, 607 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,959 Speaker 3: but she's gonna be start bedmouthing him on the air. 608 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 3: He's gonna respond, and then she's going to come out 609 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 3: and say see how Donald Trump treat women and Donnal 610 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 3: Trump is not gonna fall for that. That's how come 611 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 3: he willing debate her. Not because he's hiding the way 612 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 3: she says. And I hope, oh. 613 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: I think I think you're right that he's not. He's not. 614 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, Rowland Houston. I think you're right that he's 615 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: not going to do it. And I also think you 616 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: never have to worry about Trump on stage throwing verbal punches. 617 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's one that's one thing that you know. 618 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: I do not have to worry about Trump's ability to, 619 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, to mix it up in front of a crowd. 620 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: So I don't think. Look, Nicki Haley, you know she's 621 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: you have to have I think at some level for 622 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: most people running for president, you have to have an 623 00:34:54,120 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: almost irrational belief in your own capability and in your 624 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: ability to you know, your ability to win and your 625 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: capabilities to do the job. I think you have to. 626 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: There has to be something a little off where you're like, 627 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm the only one. I'm the one who can do this. 628 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 3: Uh. 629 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't think she's gonna be able to 630 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: get Trump to do it. And I think the Trump 631 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: will uh get you know, he'll get much higher ratings 632 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: over on Fox. Then they'll get over on So you 633 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: know that's for sure. Let me see, Well, I was 634 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: talking about movies.

The last ten years, there's just 647 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: so especially movies, streaming shows. They still make some good 648 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: streaming shows, but you know, nine out of ten movies 649 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: that get released I think are just garbage, and it's 650 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: because of the agendas and the politics, and it's a 651 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: shame because really movies are in a lot of ways, 652 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: you could argue, and I guess TV too pre eminent 653 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: art form in American culture, and I just wish that, 654 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, they'd make the good stuff like Braveheart and 655 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan.
