1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: you hanging out with us. Well, they had a debate, Buck,

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that it changed anything.

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: We are going to react. We'll open up the phone lines.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Our only guest today Carol Markowitz, who was front and

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: center last night at the Ronald Reagan debate, and we'll

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: see what she thought from on the scene coverage there.

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: She's going to join us about halfway through the show.

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: But Buck, here's my big takeaway, and I'm curious how

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: you would react. And by the way, like I said,

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 2: open phone lines, if you watch the debate, you can

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: react as well. Eight hundred and two A two two

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: eight A two. We said going into this debate that

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: really the big picture question here is is there going

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: to be somebody that goes toe to toe with Donald

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: Trump and everybody out there has to kind of everybody

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: else has to drop out?

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Is there that willingness to do it?

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway here is, and it's what I thought

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: would likely be the case. There are two people, it

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: seems to me, who are viable alternatives to Trump that

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: could be left standing throwing haymakers at him. Coming out

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: of this debate, I think it is Ron DeSantis, obviously

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: the governor of Florida, and Nikki Haley. I thought Doug

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: Bergham had a really good debate. I thought that there

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: was a clear top four to me, regardless of how

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: you would assess everybody else, in no particular order, DeSantis,

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: Vivaik Haley, and Bergham and Burgham doesn't really have a

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: chance to be the nominee. But I was really impressed

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: with him and how logical and consistent he was. Mike Pence,

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: I thought, was totally he's a non factor. He's done

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: and he has been for some time. But I thought

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: even more so on the stage, Chris Christy, he's running.

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: I thought you said it. I went and looked at

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: your reactions to Buck. I thought you said it, Well,

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: there's two guys on the stage that hate Trump, and

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: that's why they're running. Pins and Christie like they don't

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: have a chance to actually.

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: Be the nominee.

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: And then and so that's kind of my big takeaway

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: is how would you assess before we dive into the

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: general discussion, what was your biggest takeaway from last night.

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: I mean I watched the debate like everyone well not

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: like everyone else, but like so many others, and my

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: takeaway was, there are three people who are running for

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: cabinet positions. Realistically, there are two people who are running

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 3: out of anti Trump animis. They hate Trump and they

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: want a chance to take public shots at him. There's

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: one person who's just trying to get people to know

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: his name, and there's one person who really thinks that

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: he should be president and can win.

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: Now.

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: I think that pretty much lines up with your assessment

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: to Clay, except you're putting Nicki Haley in alongside the

57
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: one person who I think is still trying to really

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: be president is Ron DeSantis. Yeah, you're putting Nicki Haley

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: in that category two. And I think that's you know,

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: I'm persuadable to that. I certainly think Nikki Haley believes

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: that she could win this thing. Now, whether or not that

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: could actually happen, it is interesting. There's some polling that

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: and her team this is their primary point in her

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: favor really, that she does very well against Biden. There

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: is some point lead. Yeah, yeah, that and so we

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: always talk about, oh, the only person who can beat

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: Biden is and a lot of people think they know

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: the answer, but you know, the the numbers right now

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: are very very indicative that Nicki Haley might be weak

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: in the primary but strong in the general. And that

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: used to be more of a conventional political wisdom, right

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: that it wasn't the most solid with the base candidate

73
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: who necess necessarily prevail, or the one that base like

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: the most. Bernie Sanders, the left wing base like the

75
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: most for Democrats, Howard Dean for a while the Democrat

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: based like the most, and they weren't the general election candidates.

77
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 3: So anyway, so my breakdown, just to summarize, was, I

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: think Ron DeSantis is still running for president.

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: We'll get into I think he had one really good

80
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: moment last night, and other than that.

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: He was pretty just, you know, solid but not breakthrough.

82
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm really curious to hear your take on

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: the Nicky Haley Vivike stuff. That cut that cut a heisty,

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that got a little that go whoa.

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: So I don't know if Vicky Haley helped yourself at

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 3: all in that regard, but I think that Viveke, Nicki,

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: and Scott are all running for cabinet positions in a

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: Trump administration. I think that Pence and Christy are running

89
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: because they hate Trump and want to take shots at him,

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: and you know, they're like the attention Bergham obviously is like, Hey,

91
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm Doug Bergham, I'm a smart guy, and listen to me.

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 3: And then DeSantis, that's mine, that's my overall for the

93
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: whole thing. So here's here's the question, and we agree

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: in many respects. I felt like the debate itself was

95
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: a lot of parody in a sports context, It's like

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: everybody's like, it's kind of like the NFL.

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: Everybody's two in one or one in you know, one

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: and two or whatever. There's a lot of very you know,

99
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: very close jumble. And then to me, the question now is, well,

100
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: let's take a step back and think about what Democrats

101
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: did in twenty twenty. Democrats came out of Iowa and

102
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: New Hampshire buck and they were a total mess. And

103
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Bernie was actually in the lead, but they had Bernie

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: the Bloomberg jumped in because people were so unhappy with

105
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: the options. You had Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren like this

106
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 2: big sort of mess. And then as they got ready

107
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: for South Carolina. Basically, the Democrat power brokers said Biden's

108
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: the guy.

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: Everybody else is done, and it just ended.

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: Democrats rigged the game for Joe Biden to be the nominee,

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: and then COVID happened and like everything kind of fell apart,

112
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: but Biden won in South Carolina and it was like, Okay,

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: then you go into Super Tuesday, this thing's over.

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: Biden's the guy.

115
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: If you are of the opinion that Trump should be beaten,

116
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: as about let's say half of the Republican electorate right

117
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: now in the primary is then everybody else has to

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: drop out except for about two or three people. And

119
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: Iowa needs to be This is my opinion. Iowa needs

120
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: to be a race of like there's four or five

121
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: total candidates New Hampshire, and then by the end of

122
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Iowa New Hampshire, by the time you go to South Carolina,

123
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: there needs to be one candidate basically running against Trump.

124
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: If your goal is to beat Trump. Now, I know

125
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: there's lots of Trump people up there who were saying

126
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: nobody's going to be Trump, and I certainly can understand

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: that I can work the math with you. But that

128
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: is the question for me, because why would Vivek drop out,

129
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Why would Chris Christy drop out, why would Mike Pence

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: drop out? They all get more attention by staying in.

131
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: I think that they're all going to stay in, and

132
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: as a result, this is never going to be close.

133
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: And Trump's going to be the nominee.

134
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't agree. I'd like to see that, yeseah,

135
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: I don't really see. And for the people, we got

136
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: a lot of people who listen who are look I

137
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: hear from DeSantis, Penn I not sorry, not Pence, DeSantis,

138
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: Haley and actually some Tim Scott people who listened to

139
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: the show. You know, they'll reach out and they'll say, guys,

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: it's not over.

141
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: It's not over.

142
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: It's absolutely not over. The contest hasn't even really begun.

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: Not a single vote has been cast. We're assessing the

144
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: dynamics as they stand today, and the dynamic right now

145
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: is Trump appears invincible and or insurmountable. But that is

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: an appearance that is not a reality that can change,

147
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: and we leave open that possibility. This is why we

148
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: have a primary. All of you and of course Clay

149
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: and I and our individual capacities get to go and

150
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: vote in the states we live in and decide who

151
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: the best nominee.

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: For the party will be.

153
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 3: All of that said, the debate last night, it came

154
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: off as cacafanis.

155
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good word. Yeah, thank you, sir.

156
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: It came off as a little too, I think a

157
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: little more aggressive than it should have, a little more,

158
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: a little more tension than there should have been in

159
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: some different places. It's I'm not I'm not trying to

160
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: be funny. It's it was true that one of the

161
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: anchors was hard to understand, hard to understand the questions,

162
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: which was not helpful.

163
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: And she was also asking woke question ques you were

164
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: you know, an MSNBC panelist.

165
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: So I mean that's just a statement of fact. I mean,

166
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: of people can get very sensitive about that, but I

167
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: I could she was the Univision Univision employee, your Univision

168
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: cayl deroone.

169
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I believe.

170
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was hard to understand and that wasn't helpful.

171
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: And and then I think in a few other places

172
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: there was so much cross talk and it and you see,

173
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: this is why Trump not showing up, And this is

174
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: what I want to get to why Trump not showing

175
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: up seems to work so well for him because it

176
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: ends up a little bit like, you know, fifth grade soccer, right,

177
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: fifth grade soccer for anybody.

178
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: So I've coached soccer, I've played soccer.

179
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: You know, when you get to the high school level,

180
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: people spread out, they'll actually work on some tax My

181
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: wife is coaching third grade soccer right now.

182
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Very cool. I don't know that that's awesome, but she

183
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: she could speak to this.

184
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: When you're the third grade, it's usually everyone just clusters

185
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: around the ball like you just have ten you know,

186
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: you have eleven kids, ten on each side that aren't

187
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: the goalies, and they're just all in this little beehive

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: of activity around the ball. And that's kind of what

189
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: it looks like on stage when you have four or

190
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: five presidential candidates all they're all right on the ball,

191
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: fighting for the ball, trying to get attention. So there's

192
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: something a little bit undermining about that. I watched did

193
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: you watch Trump speech last night?

194
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I watched. I not watched it. I watched it. Look,

195
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: he's so comfortable being the showman.

196
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: And you know one thing that I don't think we've

197
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: really factored into all of our political analysis here, or

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: we haven't really discussed yet because I often say, Clay, look,

199
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: the incumbency is really powerful, and it is right. You

200
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 3: look at history, incumbency is really powerful. You know what

201
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: also is really powerful?

202
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: I was already the guy. Yeah, I already had the job.

203
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: Like, we haven't come across that very often where a

204
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: former president is now saying, give me the job again.

205
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: But it's not hard to see, you know, when you've

206
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: been to the big game, it's not hard to think

207
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: you're going to be in the big game again. And

208
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: I think there's there's just a perception, a perception aspect

209
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: there where Trump's standing up there and he's just like, guys,

210
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: I'm the guy. He looked very comfortable giving his speech.

211
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it was actually to the UAW. It

212
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: was to other auto industry employees, but in Michigan last night.

213
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Buck, we'll play some of these clips for

214
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: those of you who didn't watch out there. The other thing,

215
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, big picture on the debate, I thought,

216
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: you're right, ca, confidence is the right word. It is

217
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: a lot of cross talk, a lot of talking over.

218
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: I didn't think the audio was great. I also thought

219
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: the opening questions, like I jotted down, they opened with

220
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: the auto strike. I think that's Look, I'm not I

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: understand we have a lot of listeners in Michigan, a

222
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: lot of listeners in the Midwest who are involved in

223
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: that strike, and certainly I understand why that's important for you.

224
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: I think that's like the twentieth most important issue for

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: your average Republican primary voter right now. I don't get

226
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: the sense that the auto workers strike is near the APEX.

227
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: That was their first.

228
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: Question, which felt influenced by Trump buck to me that

229
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: they even decided to go with as the very first question.

230
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: And then the second question was about the government shut down.

231
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: We haven't even talked about that on the program because

232
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: it's such to me a sideshow. We know that eventually

233
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: the government's not going to be shut down, right, so

234
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: all of this obsession with oh my goodness, the government

235
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: might shut down and everything else, the government's not shutting

236
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: down forever, right, Eventually they're gonna work out a deal.

237
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: And so I thought they set the tone of the

238
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: debate as messy because they started in that first twenty

239
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: or twenty five minutes when a lot of people are like, Okay,

240
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 2: is this going to be entertaining or not? Is there

241
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: going to be something to be gleaned from this. They

242
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: started with the auto strike and they started with the

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: government potential shutdown. Both of those I don't think register

244
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: for most Republican primary voters as apex level interest. Certainly,

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: we haven't talked about either on this program, and this

246
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: is the most listened to radio program just about in

247
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: the country, and so we're pretty good at topic choice.

248
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: That to me felt like a miss right out of

249
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: the gate. And then.

250
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: I just felt like it was what's a Republican really

251
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: supposed to say about that right now?

252
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: Like, what is the that's I mean, there is, that's

253
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: a good point. There's not a great point in distinction.

254
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 2: I also thought, and this is just kind of a

255
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: lesson in general, whenever there was a disagreement, allow the disagreement.

256
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: To play out.

257
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: It was like there was a disagreement there sniping at

258
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: each other, there's argument over an issue, and then they

259
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: just totally pivoted to a brand new issue and they

260
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: didn't allow the conflict to play itself out. The conflict

261
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: was actually the most interesting part of the debate. Like

262
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: you're going after each other, there are differences being developed,

263
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: and then suddenly you have the Ilia called to own lady,

264
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: but Piero in and say, what do you think about

265
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: the Latinos who were upset about the situation at the border,

266
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: and so well, we're not even talking about that right

267
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: right now, right. It was just it felt very disjointed.

268
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: It was poorly moderated. I will, I will just throw

269
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,479
Speaker 2: that out there. There were there were moderation and structural

270
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: mistake for as these debates go. I mean I already

271
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: mentioned one of the anchors was difficult to I mean,

272
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: if you can't understand the questions, that's a really challenging

273
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: place to start. I think Clay that there should be

274
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: a there should be some consideration given to the possibility

275
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: of not having so many people on the stage.

276
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean we shouldn't hear from all these voices,

277
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: but the same way that you have to qualify in

278
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: order to get on that stage, I think they should

279
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: do it in tiers, meaning you know, you get four

280
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: candidates who are the four bottom and the three candidates

281
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: at the top or some mixture thereof yeah, and break

282
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: it out over either two. I would rather hear one

283
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: hour with three of them on the stage and one

284
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: hour with four of them on the stage, then two

285
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: hours with seven of them on the stage. It was

286
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: really very few takeaways, way too much interruption.

287
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: And mess are in c needs to step in. There

288
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: needs to only be three or four people on the

289
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: next stage. That's an eight hundred two to two eight

290
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: a two. You guys can weigh in. Cell phone service

291
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: company pure Talk did something really smart this summer for

292
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: the benefit of their customers. New and established Puretalk increase

293
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: the monthly data allowance on plans by fifty percent without

294
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: increasing low monthly costs of just twenty bucks. That's looking

295
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: out for their existing customers while also doing their best

296
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: to attract new ones too. New plan also comes to

297
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: the mobile hotspot, no price increases whatsoever. Is it time

298
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: for you to make the switch? Monthly plan just twenty

299

Speaker 2: old USA. Puretalk has great five G nationwide cell phone service.

303
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Dial pound two point fifty, say Clay and Buck to

Speaker 2: additional fifty percent off your first month. Again, that's dial

Speaker 2: pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck make the

307
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: switch to pure talk today.

308
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Inspiring you to seek out the truth the Clay Travis

309
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show.

310
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: So I was expecting that Chris Christie, you know, from Jersey.

311
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: I thought that he'd have a few moments where you

312
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: get in a few lines.

313
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, this was bizarre to me, Like

314
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: this was I don't even know, this was an insult or,

315
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: this was, uh, here we go.

316
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: Can you play clip nine for me? This was Christy's

317
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: big moment.

318
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: This was him doing his pirouette on the stage, trying

319
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: to stick the landing, et cetera.

320
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Play nine.

321
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: I want to look at that camera right now. Tell you, Donald,

322
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: I know you're watching. You can't help yourself. I know

323
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: you're watching, okay, and you're not here tonight. Not because

324
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: of polls and not because of your indictments. You're not

325
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage

326
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: and defending your record. You're ducking these things. And let

327
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: me tell you what's gonna happen you keep doing that.

328
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: No one up here is gonna call you Donald Trump anymore.

329
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna call you Donald duck, Donald duck. He had

330
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: to write that out beforehand, right, I mean, that's all.

331
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: That's the line that he was ready to throw down.

332
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: I was sitting here. I'm like, first of all, I

333
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I think people kind of like Donald Duck.

334
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's really a And also it's

335
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: such a vague reference to him not going to the debate.

336
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

337
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't Christy's best. Christy didn't send his best. I'm

338
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: just telling you, well, I think it was so planned.

339
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: And that's my biggest issue with these debates in general,

340
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: and I think it's why Trump has a lot of

341
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: success in them. You can't over prepare, and so many

342
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: of these answers are clearly scripted and they feel almost

343
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: memorized that it doesn't feel like an organic conversation. And

344
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: that's where I think Trump often has such success because

345
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: he doesn't sound like a traditional politician. I mean, I'll

346
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: use him as an example, Mike Pence when he dropped

347
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: it I'd been sleeping with a teacher for thirty eight

348
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: years line, and he thought people were going to laugh.

349
00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: It sounded so corny and so politician like that. I

350
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: can see why Trump is trouncing so many of these

351
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: people because they're wildly, wildly over prepared in the grand

352
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: scheme of things. But I gotta tell you, My Pillow

00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

367
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us. We were rolling through

368
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: reacting to the Second Republican debate last night. I would

369
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: say this was for me, Buck, the biggest fireworks.

370
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: Moment from the debate. Nicki Haley does not like Vivek Ramaswami.

371
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes you can't really tell on the

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: stage based on shifting political allegiances and everything else. I

373
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: think Viveke saying that everybody but him on the stage

374
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: was bought and paid for really kind of united everyone

375
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: in hating Viveke. Not that there's anything wrong necessarily with

376
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: being the most hated person on the stage, because certainly

377
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: Trump dealt with that a lot in twenty fifteen based

378
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: on all the traditional politicians that were up on the

379
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: stage there. But Nicki Haley went after Viveke and Buck.

380
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: If you remember after the first debate, I think the

381
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway for a lot of people was the vic

382
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: was the biggest newsmaker in that debate, could be positive

383
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: or negative.

384
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: He got an early blip.

385
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: I think he has since faded some in terms of

386
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: his momentum.

387
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: It's died out to a large extent. Would you agree

388
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: with that.

389
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: The only idea that I could remember from last night

390
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 3: from vivec was on birthrights.

391
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: He was right on that. We'll play that at some

392
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: point too.

393
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: He articulates it, Yeah, we'll get to that he articulates

394
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 3: it very well, but that's not of a vac idea.

395
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: Trump actually was working on that and said he was

396
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: going to do something about that when he was president.

397
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: It didn't happen. He says he's going to do it

398
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: this time. But my point is it's just it wasn't

399
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: an original the vac idea. There are a lot of

400
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 3: people who are claiming Viveke has a habit of taking

401
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: lines from other people that are actually what do you

402
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: call it? A Matt mashup of the Veke lines and

403
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: Barack Obama lines.

404
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Have you seen this?

405
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: No, I haven't said I saw that. I saw the headline.

406
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: I didn't click on it, but I saw it trending

407
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: on social.

408
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Vivek is using lines that are Obama lines

409
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: at different points, you know about I'm just saying, like,

410
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: this is this is now He'll I'm sure he would

411
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: say it's just common political language or something. If you

412
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 3: watch the mash up, it's not that common. So, you know,

413
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: that's been a little bit of a challenge for him

414
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: at this phase. I think a lot of the answers

415
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: that he gives. Look, he's obviously incredibly high IQ. I

416
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 3: like the guy so this isn't like I'm just trying

417
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: to assess him as a performer on stage.

418
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: I like Viveke.

419
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: I think he's smart, but I feel like a lot

420
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: of the answers all kind of sound the same. Like

421
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: every answer turns into like, this is the greatest country

422
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: in the world, and let me explain why it's the

423
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: greatest country in the world. It's like, all right, buddy,

424
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: you know, like tone of downald. This was a criticism

425
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: actually of Ted Cruz when he was running in twenty sixteen.

426
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 3: I remember Russia actually said this too. But people were

427
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: pointing this out, like does Ted Cruise talk about the

428
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: Constitution when he's having his cornflakes in the morning in morning,

429
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, slow down a little bit.

430
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: That that would be I think the challenge that he has.

431
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: But the Nicky Haley thing, because I know we want

432
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: to get that. I know I'm going on.

433
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: Here, But the Nicki Haley thing, it was weird because

434
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: it was mean.

435
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: But also, of all the criticisms you could have of

436
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: the vague, dumb or making people dumber, is not one

437
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: of them.

438
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: That's that's not the vake criticism.

439
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 3: Can people call him a fake or they say that

440
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: he's you know, to trumpy and not being honest about whatever.

441
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: He's a very smart guy. And here's do you want

442
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: to play this? Yeah, let's he said.

443
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 6: This is infuriating because TikTok is one of the most

444
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: dangerous social media apps that we could have and what

445
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 6: you've got. Honestly, every time I hear you, I feel

446
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 6: a little bit dumber for what you say, because I

447
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: can't believe they hear that TikTok situation. What they're doing

448
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 6: is one hundred and fifty million people are on TikTok.

449
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 6: That means they can get your contacts, they can get

450
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 6: your financial information, they can get your emails, they can

451
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 6: get just saxt messages.

452
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: This is important, This is very important.

453
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 6: Exactly what there This is very China.

454
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Don't make medically China, not America.

455
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 6: Exc's now wanting kids to go and get on the

456
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 6: social media.

457
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: That's dangerous for all of us.

458
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: You went, you were in business with the Chinese that

459
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 6: gave a Hunter Biden five million dollars.

460
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: We can't trust you. I mean she tried to shove

461
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: him off the cruise ship. There, you know what I mean?

462
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: That was all in.

463
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: So and then Vivek by the way, in his defense,

464
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: came back and said we shouldn't be talking in personal

465
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: attacks or whatever. It didn't really register because he said,

466
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: you're all bought and paid for last debate. And I

467
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: also think, and I don't know I would whether you

468
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: agree with this or not, Buck, I also think it

469
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: looks kind of whimpy when somebody says something mean and

470
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: you're like, let's leave the personal attacks out of this.

471
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, uh, I get it.

472
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Like to your point Nicky Haley calling Vivek's Ramaswami dumb,

473
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it registers because he's not dumb, right,

474
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: Like you can attack Vivik for a lot of things.

475
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: He is super smart. And so his.

476
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: Point on TikTok I didn't actually think was bad. It

477
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: is funny though, that they're talking about banning TikTok while

478
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: TikTok is advertising during the debate.

479
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, this thing's not getting banned. I

480
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: told you all that. I told you all.

481
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: Remember there was that whole frenzy for a while. They're

482
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: the Capitol Hill hearing, so it's like, guys, they're not

483
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: going to ban TikTok. And the precedent that this sets

484
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: is actually very troubling, and I was really a lone

485
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: voice on that. And here we are. TikTok has not

486
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: been banned. And I keep telling everybody, you know, if

487
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 3: you want to be worried, if you want to be

488
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: worried about your freedom and about the future, Google, which

489
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: is left wing and authoritarian in its tendencies here at home,

490
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: has far more impact on American politics, on American perception,

491
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: on your security of your information. You know, we trust

492
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: these companies. They know everything about you, guys, okay, and

493
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: they have proprietary information on all of you. Everyone listening

494
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: to this right now. That is far more concerning to

495
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: me than you know you're scrolling through on TikTok.

496
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: And I think Google, by the way to build on

497
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: that buck, so to cut you up. Google shouldn't be.

498
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: Able or to own YouTube as well for people out

499
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: there who I think a lot of people don't think

500
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: about this buck. YouTube is the most powerful video platform

501
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 2: in the United States by far, by far. My kids

502
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: only watch YouTube. If you are under you've got YouTube TV.

503
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: If you are under the age of forty, YouTube is

504
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: the place that you go for most of your video content. Now,

505
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: some people still go to TikTok. My thing on TikTok

506
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: buck would be I would like to see the American

507
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: assets sold to an American company so it's not owned

508
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: by China. But I actually thought the Bike's answer on

509
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: TikTok made some sense. He's saying kids under sixteen shouldn't

510
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: be able to get on social media. I actually don't

511
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: disagree with that at all. I think their brains are

512
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: too young. Now they may sneak on, but it used

513
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: to be that we made you know I'm so let

514
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: me give you an example. I think kids getting on

515
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: TikTok is more dangerous to me, and TikTok and social

516
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: media in general at thirteen or fourteen is far more

517
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: dangerous to me than eighteen or nineteen year olds drinking beer. Right,

518
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: Like we won't let kids buy beer until they're twenty one.

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: I think thirteen and fourteen year olds being on social

520
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: media is more dangerous to them than an eighteen or

521
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: a nineteen year old buying beer. So I actually thought

522
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 2: that Vivik's answer on TikTok made sense. So Nicki's attack

523
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: on that I didn't think was was ready.

524
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: Where do you think the animosity comes from? Because I

525
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: think I think it's just because Nicki Haley's been She's

526
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: she's kind of paid her dues. She was US Ambassador

527
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: to the United Nations under Trump. She's been in the game.

528
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 3: She was a governor of South Carolina. And Viveke has

529
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: come along, and I believe in most of the polls

530
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: I've seen he's either right there alongside her, maybe a

531
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: little ahead. They're very close. But I've weeks ago there

532
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 3: were polls where he was far out ahead of her.

533
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: And he's had a breakout and she hasn't. And you know,

534
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: I think these are very ego driven people, as there's

535
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: no way around it.

536
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 3: These are people for whom this is quite personal and

537
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: they take it very personally because it to me, I

538
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: thought she did damage to her brand at some level

539
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: last night to say that, like there are ways to

540
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 3: go after viveg but to say that, I sound dumber

541
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: every time you speak, like well on the seventh grade,

542
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

543
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: That was a little weird.

544
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: I thought that they told her put on your boxing

545
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: gloves and start throwing haymakers, because she also said it too.

546
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that was intentional advice. She also

547
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: went after Ron DeSantis and I thought maybe in the

548
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: the underrated most explosive moment of the debate might have

549
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: been when she said bring it Tim to Tim Scott,

550
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: because they actually know each other really well. I mean

551
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: they are both South Carolina politicians. I'm not talking about

552
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: like know each other in the cop text of you're

553
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: both kind of famous politicians and you cross paths every

554
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: now and then, like they would know. I would imagine

555
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: both being from a relatively small state of South Carolina

556
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: and having known each other for twenty plus years, they

557
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: would know everything. So when she said bring it Tim,

558
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: it was like when you know, two fraternity brothers decided

559
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: to throw down, or two sorority sisters, however you want

560
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: to say it. It was like there was something deeply

561
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: personal there where, Like I think Tim Scott was actually

562
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: surprised that she attacked him in the way that that

563
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: he because he didn't really Tim Scott went after Vivak,

564
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: but Tim Scott didn't really go after Nikki Haley at first.

565
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: And then she was like, well, he hasn't done anything

566
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: in twelve years, and he was like, oh really, oh

567
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna go there. Well, let's just throw down then.

568
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: So one thing that was in the back of my

569
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: mind for the whole two hours of that debate as

570
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: it was going on, you had these seven people on stage,

571
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: and the only one that I can really recall other

572
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: than Chris Christie, but for him that doesn't really But

573
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 3: the only one who was really pointing out that the

574
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: leading Republican contender didn't even feel the need to show up, yep,

575
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: was Ron DeSantis. And beyond that, if you're really running

576
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: for president and you're in the Republican primary presidential debate,

577
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: there is no other Republican primary debate, meaning you know,

578
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: there's like it's not like two different sports leagues, right,

579
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: like this is the one you go to. This you're

580
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: not going at all. The people on that stage. This

581
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: is why I said, I think only one of them

582
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: is really running for president seem to have no problem

583
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: with the disrespect that they should feel from Donald Trump,

584
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: not even feeling like he has to show up and

585
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: not being willing to. There was no talk about COVID,

586
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: no talk about the COVID spending, no talk about what

587
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: happened in twenty twenty. If you're a Republican primary contender

588
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: and you're not going going to go after Trump on

589
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: what happened in twenty twenty really and what results did

590
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: he really get versus what he promised?

591
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: How are you running for president? Like a better way

592
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: of putting.

593
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: It is why are you running for president? And this

594
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: has always been my problem with the vague The vege

595
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: is like Trump is awesome, a plus, I love him.

596
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, well he's already been president and he

597
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: wants to be president again, what are you doing in

598
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: the way I want him to be my advisor?

599
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: No?

600
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: Sorry, no one's buying that. So that's what I felt

601
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: like last night. Ron DeSantis will go after Trump. Ron

602
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: DeSantis will say he's not you know, man enough or

603
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: whatever it is to show up and actually debate.

604
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Clay like, yeah, well I

605
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: mean that.

606
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: That to me goes to the question here that is

607
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: the most important question coming out of the second debate,

608
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: and this is something that the R and C is

609
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: going to have to figure out. Why would any of

610
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: these people drop out? They're not going to And that

611
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: to me, Dana Perino is getting criticized for her final

612
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: question like who would you vote off? That was a

613
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: big moment. We can we come back to that think

614
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: I think that's important. But that is the biggest question

615
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: that actually needs to be asked coming out of the

616
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: second debate is why are any of these people going

617
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: to drop out?

618
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: Well, she wasn't like who should She's like should be exiled? Yeah?

619
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: Who should? She went Survivor style like who would you vote?

620
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: Off the island?

621
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 3: Which which was mean because anyway, it's just like it

622
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: was just gonna get very petty. Well, we'll get into that. Actually,

623
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: we'll probably do we come back. We also want to

624
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: take your calls and hear from Let's try to get

625
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: a diverse set of perspectives about how this went last night.

626
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: So if if if I'm you know, hopefully it's not

627
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: just going to be five phone calls about how Trump

628
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: won the night. We know all the polls show that Trump,

629
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: you know, the biggest thing in the Daily Mail. But

630
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: if you have some other component of it that you

631
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: want to get into the mix here, or some if

632
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: you thought somebody had a breakout performance, I don't know, man,

633
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: I mean, does Doug Bergram have merch? I mean, I'm

634
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: not going to vote for him for president, but I

635
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 3: liked the guy. I thought he did a good job.

636
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: I was pretty impressed. All right, let's talk about the

637
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: company Legacy Box. It's an example of a great American

638
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 3: success story. Found it in Tennessee more than a decade ago.

639
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: They set up shop to solve a problem for consumers

640
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: how to preserve old aging media like videotapes, audio cassettes,

641
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: film reels, and print photographs. Legacy Box digitally transfers these

642
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 3: items onto digital files that family members can watch again.

643
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: They launched the company just in time for the.

645
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: and treasured. Hands down, it's one of the most thoughtful

646
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: and sentimental gift ideas. Since then, they've grown and expanded

647

665
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: citizen a citizenship got discussed. We've also got our friend

666
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: Carol Markowitz, who was at the debate. You may have

667
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: actually seen her. She was sitting right kind of behind

668
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: where the UH. I keep wanting to say that the

669
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: moderators were, And yes, Carol'll be with us. Carol Markowitz

670
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: of the New York Post. We'll talk to her and

671
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: much discuss there. I've got some VIP emails, we have

672
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: phone calls.

673
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's start with Linda on the vip email side.

Speaker 3: support for the show and all folks working on it.

677
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: Linda writes that debate was horrible, bad questions, bad management.

678
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: I love Tucker's interviews that the candidates much better, more informative.

679
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: This was just sound bites and cringey. Haley and Pence

680
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: were super annoying. It is obvious no one there, including

681
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: the moderators, wanted to give Viveke a chance. The requirements

682
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 1: to get on stage should be much higher with less

683
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: candidates than no talking over people think. I think that's right.

684
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to put a.

685
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: Lot in there, but I don't do you feel like

686
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 3: they were trying to box box in Viveke.

687
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: I didn't really pick up on that. I didn't.

688
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 2: I felt like, again from the moment you start, I'm

689
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: big on starting the tone that you set for the debate.

690
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: When they started with auto worker strike and then followed

691
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: it up with government shutdown, I thought that it just

692
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: set the first twenty five or thirty minutes of the

693
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: debate off on the foot of again. I would bet

694
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the people that are listening to

695
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: us right now now those are not two issues that

696
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: you are focused on when it comes to deciding who

697
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: you are going to support going forward. And I actually

698
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: thought inflation. I mean it's a Fox business debate ostensibly

699
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 2: I want to know about the business. I mean we

700
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: got very few questions about business related economic related issues.

701
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: I would open straight up. I mean they even said

702
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: in the intro and I was like, okay, this is good.

703
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: Cost of goods are up eighteen percent, which is the

704
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: number one story I think for why so many people.

705
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Every time you go to the grocery store, every time

706
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 2: you go to a fast food restaurant, every time you

707
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 2: go to fill up with gas.

708
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: I went and filled up.

709
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: With gas this morning Buck gas station by my house

710
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: almost four dollars a gallon. I mean, it is continuing

711
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: to rise everywhere when it comes to what it's going

712
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 2: to cost, and premium was up almost to five dollars

713
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: a gallon. Like this is something that is really hitting

714
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: everyday Americans. We didn't get a question about it.

715
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: Jay in Jersey, have you got for us?

716
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 5: Yeah?

717
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: Hi, guys. I thought the debate last night was awful.

718
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: You know, it was just it was so stupid. I

719
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: actually thought that DeSantis brought it up the sawn last night,

720
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: that maybe there could be a one on one debate.

721
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 4: It was DeSantis and Trump that would actually be worth watching. Yes,

722
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 4: something that could see.

723
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: I think.

724
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: Look, if I am on the DeSantis thank you so

725
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: much for the call Jay play. If if I were

726
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: like a DeSantis campaign person, I would say that Ron

727
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: should just start saying, you know, you know what a

728
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 3: boxer wants, the title fight.

729
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and says you know he's ducking me. He's ducking me.

730
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: He won't not that.

731
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: Not that Trump should show off on a stage with

732
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: six people, because that's a mess Trump and DeSantis.

733
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: DeSantis should be pushing for that.

734
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if he'll get it, but he should

735
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 3: be pushing for DeSantis also just ted off on Trump

736
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: on a big way on Fox News.

737
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: We've got the audio. We'll play it for you when

738
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: we come back.

739
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 4: F
