00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: Clay Travis, you type in buck Sexton, and you, my friends,

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: can be well on your way to helping hopefully to

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: spread the word on this show. Now, a bit of

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: news out there. The FED has raised interest rates another

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: quarter of a point. That just happened, stock market relatively quiet.

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: The more significant thing than the quarter point raise, again,

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: this is the most rapid rise in interest rates we

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: have seen in two generations in forty years. Magnificant than that,

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: at least, is that the Fed said that they anticipate

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: that they will not be raising rates anymore right now.

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: So what that means we will see how long that

18
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: could last. But again, the stock market, I would imagine

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: would react more positively at least to the idea that

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: the Fed is not going to be raising rates according

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: to this statement, another quarter point raise, but they are

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: not going to be raising it anymore. Okay, first, couple

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: of hours, we have covered a wide variety of topics

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden decisions on charging According to The Washington Post

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: looming closer and closer, that was a breaking news story.

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: Also a breaking news story.

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: The Nashville Police say they will not be releasing the

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Trans Manifesto because of an issue with litigation. We obviously

29
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: have been talking a lot about that, and frankly, Buck,

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: you and I are some of the only media outlets

31
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: that are really hammering on this Trans Manifesto related story

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: and the fact that it's not being released. The last

33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson show, which is a good segue here, I

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: was a guest on Friday before Tucker was fired on Monday,

35
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: or removed from his show.

36
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: He may not technically have been fired.

37
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: I was on and Tucker wanted to talk about the

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: fact that this manifesto had not been released, and so

39
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: that was the topic of discussion we had. Over the

40
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: last I would say nine days or so. There have

41
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: been abundant leaks coming out of Tucker behind the scenes stories.

42
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: It's one today in the New York Times about text

43
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: messages that Tucker may have sent. There also have been

44
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: behind the scenes videos of Tucker that were released through

45
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: media matters. All of these things going on that are

46
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: in many way, I believe it's fair to say designed

47
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: to make Tucker look bad. I actually think most of

48
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: the leaks have made Tucker look pretty good.

49
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 3: Now.

50
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: Look, I am a Fox News employee. I sold my

51
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: company out Kick, as you guys know, two years ago,

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: to Fox. In my experience, Fox has been very good

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: to work with. But I also understand that in the

54
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: grand scheme of things, you never when you are not

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: the boss, you don't ever get to make all the decisions.

56
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: And sometimes bosses make decisions and you look at me

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: and say, I don't know. I don't know all the details.

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't know all the reasons that this occurred. Like

59
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: many of you, I enjoyed being a guest. I also

60
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: enjoyed watching Tucker Show and Buck. I've been fired several

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: times in media. This may shock some of you. Some

62
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: of you may be maybe out there like you need

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: to be fired again. Travis, I hate you. But when

64
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: I started out Kick, the reason why I started OutKick

65
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: was because I had just had the rug yanked out

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: from underneath me. I was working at FanHouse. I loved

67
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: my job, and suddenly I didn't have a job anymore.

68
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of you out

69
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: there that have small businesses as well. And that's what

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: OutKick was when I started it. I just made the

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: decision at that point in time. Buck, Hey, if I'm

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: going to fail, I want to fail because I made

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: every decision and I made wrong choices.

74
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: It ended up being a.

75
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: Great opportunity for me to start my own business. But

76
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: unless you are the boss, you serve at the beck

77
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: and call of your employer, and your employer no matter

78
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: how good you may be. And I guarantee you there's

79
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: a lot of you out there listening who have found

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: yourself in this experience. You or someone else that you

81
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: think is really skilled may suddenly lose their job.

82
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: Russia got fired seven times. Yeah, seven times. So the

83
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: greatest in the medium in history had seven different people

84
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: who said, you know, you can't work here anymore?

85
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Right, say about that seven times. I've been fired so

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: several times myself, and so I wanted to control things.

87
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: And Buck, I know you feel strongly about this too,

88
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: because you've been a guest a bunch of times on

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Tucker and he's a friend of yours and you know

90
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: him well as these leaks are continuing. I mean it

91
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: just here's a couple of things, A couple things.

92
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: First of all, I've never been paid a dollar by

93
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: Fox News, which is I think a shock when some

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: people hear that, because they've seen me going on for years.

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: Fox News is literally never even They never even you know,

96
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: sent me a reimbursement check for like taking a cab

97
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: or something. So I've never gotten a single solitary dollar

98
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: from Fox Okay, never been an employee, never been a contributor.

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: So here's the first order of business. Where is this

100
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: stuff coming from? Yes, where are the leaks coming from?

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: What is going on here? Because one thing in the

102
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: media business is you have to trust. You know, we

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: have on this show something that we're very fortunate. We

104
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 3: inherited Rush's team. So we inherited the best in the business,

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: not only in terms of their being really good at

106
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: what they do, but also proving a loyalty and a

107
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: trustworthiness to Rush and to his enterprise, you know, personally

108
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: and professionally for you know, over twenty years in the

109
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: case of everyone who's kind of senior personnel on our show. Right,

110
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: So that's that's an amazing thing because anyone in the

111
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: media knows if you have people around you in your

112
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: immediate sphere who want to, you know, cut what you

113
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: say off camera out of context, who want to try

114
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: to get some kind of opo or compromising material on

115
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: you based upon off air conversations, you know, it's you.

116
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: You're in a business where we're talking a lot, saying

117
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: a lot of things that puts you in a precarious

118
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: position pretty quickly. So, first off, where is this stuff

119
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: coming from? Megan Kelly has already come out, who was

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: obviously a huge, huge personality herself at Fox News for

121
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: many years, and she has straight up said that this

122
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: is coming from Fox. There are other people who are

123
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: suggesting that there's some sort of mole or even a

124
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: hack into the line or something else. But we do

125
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: want to figure this one out because you know, you

126
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: shouldn't have a situation where Tucker has not has not

127
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: attacked Fox, he has not attacked any Fox personnel, He

128
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: has not done anything dirty at all in a professional

129
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: relation to Fox. He has conducted himself like nothing but

130
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: a gentleman up to this point in time. And I

131
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: would defy anybody to find any evidence to the contrary.

132
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: And I would want to hear what that could possibly be. Okay,

133
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: So the one thing is where are the leaks coming

134
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: from a lot of people have already decided they think

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: this is coming from his former employer, but there are

136
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: people who say, hold on, we don't know that, so

137
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: we have to see all right, Then there's the what

138
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: are we learning about the leaked information about Tucker Carlson?

139
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: And for the people that know him from his work,

140
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: and I think even people that know him from you know,

141
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: day to day life, they're like, Yeah, this is Tucker.

142
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: He's a reverent, he's funny, he's low key, he's talented,

143
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: he's uh, you know, he's he's off the cuff. And

144
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: his whole thing is he's willing to say things on

145
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: air and off air that he believes to be true,

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: that he believes to be self effacing, and that he

147
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: believes may get people in trouble for saying who aren't

148
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: in a position to say it, and he wants to

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: change that. So I don't think there's been any for

150
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: for people who watch that show. I don't think there's

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: been any brand damage to Tucker from any of this.

152
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting. I think there's even more of a

153
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: rally rally around Tucker effect from some of this stuff,

154
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: and it still leaves out there what is going to

155
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: happen next? But so that would be that's my top

156
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: line on this. You're seeing people who are trying to

157
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: make a big deal of this and trying to suggest that,

158
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, and like this is why and whatever.

159
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: I don't know anybody who watches Tucker who actually because

160
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: the people hate him, right, it's a clays We see

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: this all the time. Oh you know, how many people

162
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: have you heard I hated I hated Rush Bloomball, He's

163
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: such a bad guy. And you go, literally, did you

164
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: ever one time in your entire life listening to Russell

165
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: and Bush? No, but you know, Al Frankin and John

166
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Stewart and blah blah, they said he's terrible. You know,

167
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: you have so much of that in the media. Not

168
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: a single person, not a single person, I think, who

169
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: is a Tucker watcher feels like anything other than what

170
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 3: happened to our guy? Why isn't he still on the air?

171
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: And the Tucker that you're seeing is the Tucker that

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: we've all expected and known for years on an off camera.

173
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: I think that's the real perception of the people who

174
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: pay attention to it.

175
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: I think you get blown up, buck when your public

176
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: persona is different than your private behavior.

177
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: And I don't think.

178
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: Look, I don't think anybody out there who does what

179
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: we do thinks that it's fair when a off air

180
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: Mike moment or an off something that is not intended

181
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: for public consumption, that is clearly not intended for public consumption.

182
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: For instance, I wouldn't I would be upset if one

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: of our conversation during commercial break suddenly gets leaked, right,

184
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: not because what we're saying during commercial break is really

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: very much different than what we say on the air,

186
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: but just because I would think, who actually grab that

187
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: and share it like that is a yes, sorry someone.

188
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: Here unless you believe the the and I don't think I. Look,

189
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: I think very few people do believe that there's a

190
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: hack or a mole. But there's a betrayal here of

191
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: sharing information about somebody who there was a relationship with,

192
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: who you know, had an expectation of some off air privacy,

193
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: because look, you could do this. Everyone listening to this

194
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: knows this. Oh you say, okay, well, you know you're

195
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: an on air person. And Tucker was an on air personality,

196
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: so he has to expect all of us. My friends

197
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 3: can be on air personalities in any job. You can

198
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: be a greeter at kmart, or actually Kmart doesn't exist anywhere,

199
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: does it. You could be a greeter at mark Walmart,

200
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: thank you. That would be really tough. A greeter at

201
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: Walmart and one of your colleagues, you know, in the

202
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: break room, pulls out a video of you and decides

203
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: that they're going to share it online. And you're sharing

204
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: your political thoughts or something. Now, you know how it feels.

205
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: Right if you don't know you're being recorded in that moment,

206
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: it can happen absolutely anybody. And I think that there's

207
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: also a sense here too of how many people really

208
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: believe that they don't say things. Who doesn't say things

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: in private or think about things in private, whether they're

210
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: talking to family or friends, but you know, not on air.

211
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: You know, when we talk about something here, we know

212
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: it's going to millions of people, Yes, and there's a

213
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: responsibility with that. This is why we're careful with language.

214
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: You know, alleged this or don't have evidence.

215
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: For so far, we haven't said a band word on

216
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: the air, right, You know, there are expectations for what

217
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: we say over the microphone that we live by, and

218
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: we understand.

219
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: But you know, you're home with your wife or with

220
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: you know, one of your family members, or I'm home

221
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: with my wife and we're having a conversation for someone

222
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: to intrude on that. Now, you could say, oh, but

223
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: it's going on in the workplace, all right, Yeah, there's

224
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: levels here. But I mean, how many of you would

225
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: even feel comfortable if you found out that your workplace

226
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: was micd up twenty four to seven. You know, everything

227
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 3: you say all the time is going to go over Mike.

228
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: Who doesn't grumble about their job a little bit, who

229
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: doesn't have moments where they think leadership? I don't know

230
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: anybody who doesn't think that at some point the people

231
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: who are signing their checks are making a mistake or whatever.

232
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: Now it's insubordinate to go say that to their face,

233
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: but to share it on what you think is a

234
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 3: private moment with somebody and then get blown up over it.

235
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: Which this is another thing that's happened with Tucker that

236
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: I think feels like a real violation.

237
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I would say, however, even with understanding

238
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: all of that, is I also think if our private

239
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: conversations were leaked in between breaks, for instance, most people

240
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: would say, yeah, that's basically what I would think Clay

241
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: and Buck's private conversation would sound like.

242
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: It sounds like what we say on air, just with

243
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: the occasional curse word if you really want to know.

244
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: Yes, And so if that were to happen, I don't

245
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: think it would actually matter that much. To your point, Yes,

246
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: the fact that it's out there is a betrayal. But

247
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: what I see in so far the public data and

248
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 2: public release from this Tucker situation is it basically solidifies

249
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: that there's not that much of a difference between Tucker

250
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: Carlson on air and Tucker Carlson in real life. And

251
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: to the extent that that is true no matter who

252
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: you are as a media figure, that is I think

253
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: what people want more than anything. I think you crave

254
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: everyone out there listening right now desperately authenticity because we

255
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: live in an inauthentic age, and so you'll forgive Buck

256
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: or me or anybody else in media if we sometimes

257
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: get things wrong. What you won't forgive, and I don't

258
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: blame you because I feel the same way is if

259
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: someone is publicly pretending to be one thing and privately

260
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: they are another. That hypocrisy, that dichotomy, that difference between

261
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: reality and public performance is what blows people up. And

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: I have not seen any release or leak so far

263
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: that does anything other than make people who are Tucker

264
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: fans think, oh, that's why I'm a fan of that.

265
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: I also just say radio as a medium, it's harder

266
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: to you know, Clay and I have both done all

267
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: the other stuff out there TV and everything is still

268
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: doing TV. It's harder to hide for three hours a

269
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: day on radio. I can't act. You can't do it.

270
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: I couldn't do it. And this audience knows that. I mean,

271
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: you all got to know Rush so well over so

272
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: many years. And it's the same thing when people come

273
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: up to us who listen to the show every day,

274
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: you know how we are because in radio it's just

275
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: it's too much of a of a trip through the

276
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: mind of the person talking to you or in Arcades

277
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: minds for three hours every day.

278
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: You know.

279
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: Inflation has affected everything out there. And look, it's really

280
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: stubborn right now for gun owners. The cost of getting

281
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: the range and buying AMMO and training, it's just gone

282
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: way up, thankfully. There's a more cost efficient way to

283
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: keep your skill sharp. It's called dry fire practice, and

284
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: you can do it with the mantis X, a device

285
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: that attaches to your firearm like a weapon light. You

286
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: connect that to your smartphone and the mantis x app.

Speaker 3: Raymond Arroyo in just a few minutes here. We're excited

302
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: about that and he's going to be here with us

Speaker 3: in studio in Nashville, Tennessee. And we've got a whole

304
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: lot more to get to with you. I don't even

305
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: know if we'd mentioned yet that there's a possible false

306
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: flag assassination attempt against Vladimir Putin that the Kremlin is

307
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: saying came from with a drone strike. There's actually video

308
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: of it, and everyone's saying, hold on a second, Ukraine

309
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: trying to fly a drone to a suffers of the

310
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: chance of that working and Ukraine having the capability to

311
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: pull that off as effectively zero. But the Russians do

312
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: have a long and established history of false flag operations

313
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: to justify massive military well crackdown slash acceleration. But we

314
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: got a bunch of calls too, and in Kentucky wants

315
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: to weigh in on the Tucker situation and what's going on.

316
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: Hi there, just glad to call and say, me and

317
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 5: my friends are sick and tired of Fox cutting out

318
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 5: Tucker Cross and we've decided to boycott it. And Tucker

319
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: was the very best they had. He was always upbeat, laughing,

320
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 5: silly laugh and he was always telling us things and

321
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: discussing things that we hadn't heard all day long on

322
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: every other show on Fox. That's what made him special.

323
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: He was the very.

324
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: Best, and we appreciate you calling and sharing that with us.

325
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: I just say, you know, one way you can always

326
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: gauge Clay the effectiveness of a conservative personality is who

327
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: does the left hate the most and target the most

328
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 3: in politics? Donald Trump? In media for the last few

329
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: years on the right, you know, Tucker was at the

330
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: very top of the list of who the left wing

331
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: attack brigades were going after.

332
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt that Tucker was aggressively attacked,

333
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: I would say more than anybody else in media period.

334
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: But that attack also creates a lot of a lot

335
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: of loyalty from his fan base, which is why on Monday,

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: when this news broke, I said, I think Tucker's got

337
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: an incredible opportunity here with a lot of different different

338
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: directions he can go with his career, and I think

339
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: he's going to be pretty successful no matter where he

340
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: ends up going forward.

341
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: So we'll have to see and.

342
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: And obviously we'll be following him wherever he goes. My

362
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us. We are here in

363
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: the Nashville studio and we are joined now by Raymond

364
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: de Royo. Let me just mention this as we bring

365
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: in Raymond House Oversight Committee, says an FBI whistleblower has

366
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: provided evidence that Joe Biden as Vice president was accepting

367
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: payouts from foreign nationals in exchange for policy decisions that

368
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: coming down from the House Oversight Committee. In the last

369
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, we'll see where exactly it goes. But I

370
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: just want to let everybody that know that that's going on. Raymond,

371
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: you are in town here in Nashville where Buck and

372
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: I are doing the show, and I was just flipping through.

373
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: This is really cool. You have written a kid's book

374
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: and it's called The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison,

375
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: and it's about struggles and when Edison was a young kid.

376
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: It's really a cool story.

377
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 6: Well, it's a story I didn't know anything about. I

378
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 6: stumbled across a quote from medicine in one of these

379
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 6: big doorstop biographies we never read, and in the back

380
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 6: it says, my mother was the making of me. If

381
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 6: not for her devotion and faith in me at a

382
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 6: certain time, I would never have become an inventor. Edison

383
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 6: said that to multiple interviewers at the end of his life,

384
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 6: and I thought, wait a minute, who is this mother

385
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 6: and why haven't I ever heard of her? Well, when

386
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 6: I started digging, I realized Edison, at eight years old

387
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 6: was thrown out of school. The schoolmaster said he's an

388
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: idiot and can't be taught. His father said he was

389
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 6: a dunce because he was a very withdrawn child, probably

390
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: had ADHD. We know he was death by twelve, but

391
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 6: his mother had belief in him, saw the curiosity, took

392
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: him home and homeschooled him. I frankly don't know why

393
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 6: Edison today isn't the patron saint of homeschooling, because look

394
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 6: at what this guy created. That was the end of

395
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 6: his formal schooling with his mother, and she allowed him

396
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 6: to do something we should remember with our own kids.

397
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: And that I I discovered through writing this book. A

398
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 6: child learns with their eyes and their head, yes, but

399
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 6: most importantly with their hands and their feet. Edison learned

400
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 6: both ways. He absorbed the theory of electricity and the

401
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 6: science of the time. Then he tinkered and he played,

402
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 6: and he pulled and he changed, and he played with

403
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 6: the challenges before him. And he often said giving up

404
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 6: is the worst weakness in American life.

405
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: Giving up.

406
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 6: He never gave up, and that's why he was allowed

407
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 6: and able to create the phonograph and the microphones, were

408
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 6: talking on the telegraph, receptors in alkaline batteries, things we

409
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 6: take for granted, the first motion picture camera. All of

410
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 6: this was Thomas Alva Edison. And I call this a

411
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 6: turnabout tail. It's the first book in this series because

412
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 6: we all face obstacles. We all face these huge challenges,

413
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 6: and in the case of Edison and in our lives,

414
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 6: the obstacle is not the end of your journey. It's

415
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 6: the portal to your future and your destiny if you

416
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 6: make the right decision in it. And he and his

417
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 6: mother made the right decision when he was thrown out

418
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: of school at eight. The book is the Unexpected Light

419
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 6: of Thomas Alva Edison. Raymond Arroyo, the author. He's with

420
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 6: us here now in studio. You were just mentioning off,

421
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 6: talking off Mike.

422
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: Off. But you were just you were mentioning before how

423
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 3: cool it is to go and see some of the

424
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: great Edison historic locations. I always think it's fun for it,

425
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: so I like to nerd out with that stuff. I

426
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: now I know I'm gonna have negotiations with my wife

427
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: going forward about because I want I'm like, let's go

428
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: to Malta. She's like, why do you want to go

429
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: to Malta. I'm like, because I want to see the

430
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: siege fortifications obviously, but you know, also good food and

431
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: pretty stuff. But it sounds like this is a thing.

432
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: I mean, this is obviously a book you're gearing toward younger.

433
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 3: Younger readers and parents can get family read family family read, right,

434
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: but but also family visits. What are some of the

435
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: great locations, because I feel like you mentioned the being

436
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: able to feel the stuff, to see and touch and

437
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: feel some of what Edison's like life was would be

438
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: really interesting.

439
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 6: Well, Buck, as a writer, nothing fills you more and

440
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 6: puts you in the moment than going to those places.

441
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 6: So I went to all of them. And by the way,

442
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 6: there's the retirement home or the summer home of Edison

443
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 6: that Henry Ford and he shared in Fort Myers, which

444
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 6: is really cool, and they have a chemistry lab the

445
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 6: private which.

446
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 2: You saw kids there. Yeah, I took my kids. We

447
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: were just in Fort Myers last week. It is the

448
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: winter home of Edison. The vegetation, you know, incredible, you know,

449
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: these trees from all over the world and the labs

450
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: are there. It's a really cool thing. If you're down

451
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: in the South Florida area and you're looking for something

452
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: a little bit educational that your kids would also enjoy.

453
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 6: It's pretty fantastic. And the West Orange Facility, the Edison

454
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 6: Labs there, this is the lab he built and that's

455
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: where light bulbs were produced to refine the phonograph. There

456
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 6: he recorded hundreds of artists on the second floor for

457
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: his own record label. By the way, we're here in

458
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 6: Music City. The guy who created music, recorded music is Edison.

459
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 6: He had his first record label. Hundreds of artists and

460
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 6: orchestras went up there. Here's the cool thing. You can't

461
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 6: see it. It's not on display, but I've seen it

462
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 6: at other places. He attached a piece of wood to

463
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 6: the bottom of the phonograph and he would bite down

464
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 6: on that piece of wood because he was deaf. That's

465
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 6: how he heard the music that was recorded. You can

466
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 6: see though that music room with the big horn that

467
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 6: he listened to music on there. It is untouched since

468
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 6: nineteen thirty one when he died. So to walk through

469
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 6: that is really to touch American innovation. American know how

470
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: American stick toitiveness. And that's what the story of the

471
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 6: unexpected light of Thomas Alva Edison touches for me. But

472
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 6: when I talk to kids, so many kids with ADHD

473
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: or learning difficulties, they said, well, I can't do this,

474
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: or I don't learn the way my friends do. Neither

475
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 6: did Edison, and he was the greatest innovator of the time.

476
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 6: And that's all I want kids to take away. If

477
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 6: they just take that, and if parents realize you have

478
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 6: a huge responsibility to nurture the life within that child.

479
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 6: That's what Nancy Edison did. And we're still basking in

480
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 6: the globe what Edison gave us, in fact right now

481
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 6: literally basking and communicating via the microphone he created.

482
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: Now I have to ask, I know this isn't I

483
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: would I would assume in the scope of the book,

484
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: But how do you break down because you've done all

485
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: this research into Edison. And by the way, I'm not

486
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: going to bring up Tesla, are you buck? You know

487
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to Tesla and everybody else bring up Tesla

488
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: versus Team Edison, A C, D C. You know the

489
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: experiments and all this stuff. You seem very I don't know, man,

490
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 3: this is like Alabama Auburn box point.

491
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: When I tweeted that I was at the Fort Fort

492
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: Myers Edison place, and I think I put up a

493
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: picture of.

494
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 6: All the test I'm going to set. Let me set

495
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 6: the records. Yes, first of all, I'm dealing with young

496
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 6: Thomas book. Tesla wasn't even born when this happened. Okay,

497
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: but this is an important lesson here that young people

498
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 6: and families can gather. How whoever, let me settle. Now,

499
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 6: some of you Tesla people are going to get upset

500
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 6: with me. But look, Musco already gave Tesla his due.

501
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: Okay.

502
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 6: Yes, Tesla was hired by Thomas Alva Edison, who we

503
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: should say, long before Tesla.

504
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 3: Came around or anybody even knew who.

505
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 6: The hell Tesla was. Thomas Alva Edison was an international name.

506
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 6: He had an office. He was so big. He had

507
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 6: an office in Paris that was developing an electrical grid

508
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 6: and he hired an engineer by the name of Tesla

509
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 6: to come work for him. He paid Tesla to refine

510
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 6: the dynamo, which he did, and Tesla said, he didn't

511
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 6: pay me as much as I was entitled to it. Well,

512
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: I might think my employer's not paying me enough either.

513
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 6: Joined the club. Yeah, but you're an employee. You're putting

514
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 6: your work in and so Tesla went off in a huff.

515
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 6: He banded together with Westinghouse, George Westinghouse, and together they

516
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 6: challenged Thomas Edison's direct current as opposed to alternating current.

517
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 3: Well, he won, Tesla won the war.

518
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 6: The current war was won by tes But George Westinghouse

519
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 6: put the screws to Tesla, So go throw nasty comments

520
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 6: at Westinghouse. Edison was a guy who hired Tesla, and yes,

521
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 6: Edison at times could pirate technology and refine it and

522
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 6: then patented himself. There's no talking that away, But I'm

523
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 6: sorry Tesla did not give Edison every invention that he

524
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 6: has known.

525
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 3: This kind of mirrors for me a little bit, some

526
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: of our callers with the trump to say this thing

527
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 3: of like Edison, Tesla feels like that a little bit.

528
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 6: Well, people like these teams, you know, whether it's twilight

529
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 6: or a football game. They somehow everybody's got to choose

530
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 6: the team. Take the good from both of the men.

531
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 6: They were both incredible inventors, but Edison. The lasting nature

532
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: of what Edison created is really unmatched.

533
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: So incredible.

534
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: Sounds like a fantastic book. I think you're doing signings right,

535
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: I am I'm doing signings.

536
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 6: In fact, I'm at the Barnes and Noble Cool Springs

537
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 6: on Saturday morning in Nashville and Brentwood, or you at

538
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 6: eleven am on Saturday.

539
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: I hope people will come out.

540
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 6: I'll be signing and talking and please, We're only going

541
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 6: to have a very limited Tesla mud wrestling match.

542
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 3: Tesla stands are very small with their Tesla T shirts

543
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 3: and their electric vehicles.

544
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: And you know eleven am Central here in Brentwood, if

545
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 2: you on Saturday, if you're in this area.

546
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: Cool Springs BNN.

547
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 6: And by the way, you know who created the first

548
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 6: electric car ever devised?

549
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: I would assume it would our be our buddy.

550
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 6: Edison, Thomas Edison. He was friends with with Henry Ford.

551
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 6: He said, I can do an electric version of this.

552
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 6: He did it. Henry Ford said it's too much to

553
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 6: replicate these batteries. No, we're not going to do it,

554
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 6: and canned kill the electric car. That's how far reaching

555
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 6: this guy was. And he was a tinkerer. He wasn't

556
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 6: even a learned guy. He was a workman, a craftsman,

557
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 6: and and and deliberate about creation.

558
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: It's like the Leonardo da Vinci of West Orange New Jersey.

559
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 6: You got it the Wizard of Menlo.

560

Speaker 3: listen there and highly recommend you do. We we had

604
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: a few things that we touched on today that I'm

605
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: sure we're going to return to tomorrow, and I think

606
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: it's interesting. You know, the the bank and economic situation

607
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: right now is something we're going to focus in on

608
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: a little bit more because it is getting rough out there.

609
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: Clay mentioned that the FED has raised interest rates again today.

610
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: Here is the former FDIC chair Sheila Bayer, who was saying, look,

611
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: they can't keep doing this, and so given that reality,

612
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: it feels like they better hope inflation starts coming down

613
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: a whole lot more or else what do we do next?

614
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: Play fifteen here.

615
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 7: I do think they're going too fast. I'm a hawk

616
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 7: on inflation. They can only go so fast. You know,

617
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 7: it's fourteen years mostly near zero interest rates, significant inflation.

618
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 7: You can't reverse it overnight, and it's better to hold

619
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 7: a steady course pause assessed and keeping ratcheting up and

620
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 7: these interstrating increases. Yeah, you're right. I think I have

621
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 7: no doubt but that I'm raised by twenty five Bays's points.

622
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 7: But at least maybe they can signal that now they

623
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 7: will be hitting pause. I hope they do, because the

624
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 7: pace that they're doing this is unsustainable, and I fear

625
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 7: later on they're going to have to start lowering rates,

626
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 7: which is not going to be a good thing either.

627
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 3: So you know, raising them is a problem lowering. You know,

628
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: the real problem Clays we've discussed is spending too much money.

629
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: That's really the root of all of this, of the

630
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: bad decision making is the federal government deciding to spend

631
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: more money than it should on things. In some cases

632
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be spending any money on. But also overall

633
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: this has effects on the banking system. We played south

634
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: Park earlier the week with the macho man Randy Savage

635
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: and the whole issue of women.

636
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: One of the great south Park and uh, I'm not

637
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: here to talk about my transition anyway.

638
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: One of the one of the great Southwark romans. Here's

639
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: another south Park throwback. This is from two thousand and

640
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: nine when Stan goes into a bank and deposits money

641
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: and realizes, wait a second, you mean the money is

642
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: not actually there? After I deposit at play eleven. How

643
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: can I help you, young man? I got one hundred

644
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: dollars check from my grandma, and my dad said, I

645
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: need to put in the bank so it can grow

646
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: over the years.

647
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 6: Well that's fantastic, a really smart decision, young man.

648
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 3: We can put that check in a money market mutual fund.

649
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: Then we'll reinvest the earnings into foreign currency accounts with

650
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 2: compounding interest.

651
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: And it's gone. Oh what it's gone. It's all gone.

652
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: What's all gone? The money in your account? It didn't

653
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: do too well? It's god, what do you mean, I

654
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: have one hundred dollars not anymore? You don't poof? I

655
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: mean that's you know, when you're looking at people that

656
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: are concerned about what happens if you have bank failures,

657
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 3: play well, it's either poof, it's gone, or the federal

658
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: government says, well, we're just going to put money back

659
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: into those accounts. You start to realize money is a

660
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: perception in many ways. Money is computers and numbers on screen.

661
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: Ninety percent of money United States dollars doesn't physically exist.

662
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: That blows some people's minds, But to your point on

663
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: it's moving across computer screens. Only ten percent of the

664
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: dollars that exist in the world are physically incarnate. In

665
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: the dollars which is which is wild to think about it,

666
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 2: and I just I'm going to keep hammering this because

667
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm not hearing a lot of people talk about it.

668
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: The commercial real estate market is in trouble, and so

669
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: many people out there right now. I hope that this

670
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 2: is the end of the FEDS raise. I'm not certain

671
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: that it is, because really this is all determined on

672
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: whether inflation is going to come back down. But it's

673
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: not only that we've gotten now up to roughly five

674
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: and a quarter point raise, the forty year high.

675
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: For the rapidity with which we have raised.

676
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: So many of you out there listening to us right

677
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: now have mortgages which are way below what the mortgage

678
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: rate would be now. And you're saying, hey, maybe you

679
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: got a new kid, maybe you'd like to move into

680
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: a different school district, maybe you want to move closer

681
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: to where you're working. But a lot of you right

682
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: now are saying, hey, I'm at three and a half percent,

683
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: why would I move and take on a six and

684
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: a half percent mortgage.

685
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 3: I think the degree to which so many people are

686
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: locked in is an issue.

687
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: And then on the financing level, I can just tell

688
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: you a lot of this commercial real estate when they

689
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 2: papered it two years ago, it was based on there

690
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: being access to two and three percent interest rates, and

691
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: now you're talking about six and seven percent, and a

692
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: lot of those deals don't work on the paper when

693
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 2: you get to six or seven. So I think there's

694
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: still a lot of pain coming Buck, and I'll be

695
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 2: very surprised. Frankly, we were talking earlier about Joe Biden

696
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: and the dangers of his reelection and the challenges there.

697
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: I'll be very surprised if we're not officially in a

698
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: recession at some point in the next year, even them

699
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: having to acknowledge that we're in a recession.

700
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 3: And we all know what they'll do. They'll blame Donald

701
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 3: Trump for somehow, of course, and so Trump can't solve

702
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: it by being president, because Trump caused the recession in

703
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: the third year of the Biden presidency somehow. I know,

704
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: the shamelessness when you hear it in advance sounds impossible.

705
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: But we are dealing with Democrats, after all, So is

706
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: there really such a thing as shame? Team Thanks for

707
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 3: rolling with us today. Really appreciates you giving us your time.

708

Speaker 3: As always, Clay and I. If you see a couple

709
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: of guys with guitars out on Broadway here in Nashville,

710
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 3: passing the hat, singing some tunes. Well it's not us,

711
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: but we may be there. We may be there saying

00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: hi to everybody, So come over and say what's up

713

716
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: be a very strong show. Clay that much I can predict,

717
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 3: no doubt. Release the Manifests Stove put the pressure on
