Donald Trump versus DeSantis continues to accelerate. 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: Trump taking some real shots at DeSantis in the last day. 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 3: We will play them for you. 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: RFK Junior, Buck first, people, I heard really talking about 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: RFK Junior and those really interesting poll numbers where he 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: had fourteen percent support in the USA Today poll. He's 14 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: officially announced. I invited him on the show on Twitter. 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: I believe the staff has invited him as well. I 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 2: think this spells major issues for Biden, and we can 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: talk about what that might look like going forward. Joy Reid, 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: our good friend, continues to blame Fox News for the 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: shooting that happened in Kansas City, a shooting that got attention, 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: despite the fact that there are literally a thousand shootings 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: that probably have happened that are every bit as bad, 22 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: if not worse. In the last week or two Hunter Biden. 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal with an exclusive IRS whistleblower has come 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: out and said, hey, guess what the IRS is giving 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: favorable treatment to Hunter Biden? And three years ago today, 26 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: for those of you out there who remember, in the 27 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: long litany of absurdity that was taking place, Los Angeles 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: filled in a skate park with sand outdoors to keep 29 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: kids from skateboarding and potentially getting COVID, I mean getting 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: COVID while skate boarding outdoors that all rolling in together. 31 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: So so all of that, but let's begin here. 32 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: Buck. 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has just gone straight out guns blazing at 34 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: Rond de Santis. Yesterday he directly warned Rond de Santis 35 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: against running for president. 36 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: Here's what that sounded like. 37 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 4: Ron de Santis is a young man who is not 38 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 4: doing well against me and the polls. To put it mildly, 39 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: I believe that if he decides to run for president, 40 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 4: which will only hurt and somewhat divide the Republican Party, 41 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: which we don't need, he will lose the cherished and 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 4: massive mega vote and never be able to successfully run 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: for office again. I believe that if he remains governor, 44 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 4: which is what Florida voters assumed, he would do, it 45 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: would be a whole different story just saying but who knows. 46 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So this is basically so again, Trump is a 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: master at this. That is his truth social post that 48 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: he made that he now has read and put out, 49 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: the video of which is like I love this, Buck, 50 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: It's like a remix edition of a popular song. Trump 51 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: was like, Hey, this this truth that I put out 52 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: did really well. Let me record a video version of 53 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: it and pop it out so it can be even 54 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: more widely disseminated. So we talked about this truth social before. 55 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: First question for you, Buck, Let's presume DeSantis announces runs, 56 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: loses to Trump. How if at all, does that impact 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: DeSantis in running for president in twenty twenty eight in 58 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: your mind? 59 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: So, if I'm if I'm gonna play the role here 60 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: of DeSantis cornerman for a second, here's how I would. 61 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: You know, if I'm. 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: Got the towel, you got the towel, squirt behind, get 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 2: in their rock, you gotta you gotta finish him off, rock, 64 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: Get in there rock. 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: You know. If I'm if I'm Mickey in this case, 66 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: here's here's what I would say. First of all, Hey, 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: look at the president right now, who's the president right now? 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: I'm not even talking about the fact that you know 69 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: twenty twenty I just mean Joe Biden lost and lost 70 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: and lost again. You know, you just don't know with politics. 71 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: My point being, no one can project out what twenty 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: twenty eight looks like. Who's going to be in the spotlight, 73 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 3: Who's going to Remember when Chris Christy was the guy 74 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: for the GOP, Remember when Scott Walker was the guy 75 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: for the GOP, Like you go down to the Roys 76 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: to me, Giuliani was the Guyrianni thought Giuliotti was going 77 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: to be the nominee. You know, there have been a 78 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: number of people that Bush nuke Gingrich had a moment, 79 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: remember nuke Gingridge people. A lot of peop will remember 80 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 3: this Nut slapped the media right across the face, so 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: to speak, at one of the presidential debates. This is 82 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: back in the Romney election, if I remember correctly, and 83 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: it was like a moment for him, right all of 84 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: a sudden, Nut surged in the poll. So look, no 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: one knows what twenty twenty eight looks like. And I 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: think that's I would not find that to be compelling 87 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: at all as a reason to be like well, I'll 88 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: just you know, I'm gonna wait or whatever, because you 89 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: don't know. I would also say, why is DeSantis the 90 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: only one? Why isn't Trump saying Nikki Haley get out 91 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: of the race or else you'll lose the MAGA vote. Well, 92 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: we all know why, because the only person who has 93 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: any chance based on I mean any numbers we've seen, 94 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: would be Ron DeSantis of Florida. So on the one hand, 95 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 3: it's you know, it's it's pretty straightforward. It's uh, you know, 96 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: nice governorship and political future you got there, Ron. Shame 97 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: as something happened to it, That's what Trump's saying. On 98 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: the other hand, it's a little bit Trump doth protest 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: too much he has. This guy hasn't even announced yet. 100 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 3: You're putting out things telling him he better not announced, 101 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: And I don't know how it will sit with people. 102 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: This idea that that you know, that Trump put out there, 103 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: that if Ron were to run and were to let's 104 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 3: just say, win the primary, you would have Trump voters 105 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: who wouldn't come out and rute, so they wouldn't come 106 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: out and vote for the Republican nominee against Joe Biden. 107 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: We want four more years of Biden's that's what Trump said. 108 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: That is what he just stated in that truth Social video. 109 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't think it's a brushback 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: pitch for sure, but I don't think he's looking for 111 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 3: the walk. 112 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: It's interesting buck the video and audio version of the tweet, 113 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: and again it's a truth Social But when we say 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 2: tweet basically the same thing, it sounds different to me 115 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: on video than it did when I read it myself. 116 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: Does that make sense? 117 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: Because when I read this myself, I came on the 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: radio and I said, it sounded to me like Trump 119 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: was hinting that he might be interested in DeSantis as 120 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: his VP. The way that that is delivered again, it's 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: equivocal at the end, right, because who knows, you know, 122 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: it's kind of it's kind of letting you make your 123 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: own determination about what he exactly is hinting towards. Maybe it's, hey, 124 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: i'll endorse you. 125 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty eight. 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: Maybe it is hey, i'll consider you as my VP. 127 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: We'll let people out there can make their own determinations. 128 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 2: But I don't think it's it's it's so calculated. Again, 129 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: here's Trump going after DeSantis. 130 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: Again. This has cut one double barrel. Listen, this is 131 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: just out. 132 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: I guess that Ron DeSantis is not quite as popular 133 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 4: in Florida as people thought. I assume, among other things, 134 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: that they don't want their Social Security cut or their 135 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: Medicare cut. Can't do that run. 136 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: So that is Trump's line of attack. I don't know 137 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: that that's gonna work because I don't think people who 138 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: have seen Rond DeSantis as governor are like, oh, this 139 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: guy has made his bones being like I'm gonna cut 140 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: social Security, I'm gonna cut Medicare, all of those things. 141 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: I don't think that line of attack works. I think 142 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: Trump is trying out a series of attacks to see 143 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: what works. 144 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: Here's here is another reality. Trump ran on again Democrats 145 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. Right, So when Trump was running, he 146 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: was the president. So now he's never had to run 147 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: against a Republican field with a record of what he 148 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: said and did that he's going to have to actually 149 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: explain to people. 150 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 5: Now. 151 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: I'm not saying he can't. I'm just saying this is 152 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: a new thing for Trump. In twenty sixteen, it was 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 3: all these you know, all these compelling ideas, amazing live performances, 154 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: and you know, Crooked Hillary and the whole thing right, 155 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: It was the most amazing political show we've ever seen 156 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 3: in a primary. Now Trump would have to explain decisions 157 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: that he made as president, and people can say it's 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: not going to matter, he's amazing. Okay, fine, but he's 159 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: never done that before, and I think that it gets 160 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: a lot harder to tell. Like, you know, you've noticed 161 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 3: he's has he has he said anything about how Ron 162 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: wasn't good on COVID recently. 163 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: No. 164 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: I just didn't think he's learned that. That's a bad life. 165 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: That's just not landing, that's just not landing. That's that's 166 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 3: actually insulting. And I say this now as a new Fluidigan. 167 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 3: That is insulting the intelligence of your basin of your voters, 168 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 3: saying Ron can't hack itt. Ron's not the man Ron. 169 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: That's all fair game. People are gonna say, okay, and 170 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: I might be all in on that, But what I 171 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: mean is Trump is never really He was able to 172 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: swat away all of his rivals in the twenty sixteen 173 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: election because it was just here are my ideas, here's 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: who I am, Here's what I'm going to do this 175 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: time around. It's going to be what you know, who 176 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: did you make your top advisors in the White House? 177 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 6: What? 178 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: By the way, I'm playing cornerman here, I'm playing corner 179 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 3: and I'm not saying this is going to be a 180 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: challenge that he hasn't faced before. 181 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: Here is what I would say Trump's particular genius is 182 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: as a politician. And I say this because I think 183 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: some people have learned it from him. I think a 184 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: lot of politicians still haven't. Trump is better than any 185 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: politician I have ever seen at intuiting by the reaction 186 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: of people to him what the best message is. He's 187 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: almost like a Remember Buck. There used to be those 188 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: guys who would walk around in the mall and they 189 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: would bring you in and they'd give you, like ten bucks. 190 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: This is gonna seven the start of that story. Sound's 191 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: kind of creepy, But when I was a kid growing 192 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 2: up in ten bucks and they just asked you if 193 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: you would like you know. So, when I was a 194 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: kid in in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, at Rivergate Mall, right, the 195 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: mall near me, there would be people walking around. They 196 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: were like consumer research people, and they would show you 197 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: like a television advertisement or a movie commercial, and they 198 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: would say, like, hey, rate how you like it, and 199 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: then they would take that in right, that consumer research. 200 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 3: They do it for. 201 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: All the television shows and all the new movies and 202 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: everything else. You have a dial in front of you, 203 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: and then they would give that research to people and 204 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: they would say, Hey, they really liked this version of 205 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: your movie ad, they really liked the way that you 206 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: were trying to sell a car. 207 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: Here. 208 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: Trump does that with all of his rallies and all 209 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: of the tweets and truths that he puts out. He 210 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: is incredibly good at taking back that feedback and dialing 211 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 2: his campaign to adjust to what people are saying they want. 212 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: And I would just point out, you know, we've been 213 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 3: saying or you know, I think we've been I've definitely 214 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: said it on the show. I think you have too, 215 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: that the attacks on DeSantis for COVID, that that wasn't landing. 216 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: And I think that's obvious because Trump isn't doing that anymore. Yeah, 217 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: He's moved on all the things. So people who were 218 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: you know, anyone thought that was unfair or were angry 219 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: at that observation. I think it was an observation of 220 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: what the reality of how the base was reacting to it. 221 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: When Trump and I think he's going more in this 222 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: direction now he leaves open You notice with Trump it's 223 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: always you know, it's always carrots and sticks, right, So 224 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: he leaves open for DeSantis. He's like, look, you stay 225 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: as governor. We are cool as can be. Things again, 226 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: we're awesome. Yeah, you've got you know, you've got nothing 227 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 3: but clear skies in twenty twenty eight. And so when 228 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: Trump starts to talk like that and say, look, I'm 229 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 3: the guy that has to be against the bid in machine. 230 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: I'm the only one that can fight against this you know, 231 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 3: swamp and all the other stuff that we know. I'm 232 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: the day factor leader of the Republican Party. I think 233 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: Ron is great at what he's doing now and will 234 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 3: be a great candidate down the line, but today's not 235 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 3: his day. I think reasonable people can hear that within 236 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: the you know, GOP base and say, you know, maybe 237 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: someone find that very compelling when they when he says that, 238 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: you know, Ron Decaytis was like getting you know, drunk 239 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: with high school girls and did a terrible job in COVID, 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: It's like, come on, man, that's not did he stopped 241 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: doing it? So anyone says, oh, that's unfair, excuse me, 242 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: Trump realizes this to your point about dialing it down. 243 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And here's the question I would ask for you 244 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 2: and everybody else out there. Eight hundred and two A 245 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: two two eight A two. Does Trump need DeSantis in 246 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: the race to be the best version of himself? Just 247 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: want everybody to think about that, because knock it out 248 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: Tomato Cans is not going to get you in shape 249 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: to continue the boxing metaphor when you actually have to 250 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: step in the ring and really deliver. The best thing 251 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: I can say about a competitive primary twenty sixteen made 252 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: Trump an incredible candidate because he had to go up 253 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 2: against so many really talented politicians and emerge the victor. 254 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: It's like if you go work out one day and 255 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: then you don't work out for six months and you 256 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: go into the gym, you do a bad job of 257 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: reflecting yourself. You need to be in there for those battles. 258 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: Does it feel just right now? But yeah, because otherwise Buck, 259 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: just think about it. We'll talk about it when we 260 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: come back. If DeSantis doesn't run effectively, this race is 261 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 2: over right. You got a bunch of Trump that's to 262 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 2: be fair, acolytes who hope to be in the in 263 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: his cabinet. There won't really be any fireworks. Trump is 264 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: going to be the nominee. Does he stay in fighting 265 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: shape as he moves into into the next primary? 266 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: He goes against DeSantis lines open, by the way, on this, 267 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: we want to hear from you both sides of this one. 268 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: We are going to air the calls from both sides. 269 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: Meaning you think this is you know you're you're in 270 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 3: the Trump side on this, you're on the Desanta side 271 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: on this eight hundred two two two eight a two. 272 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 3: What about Trump's team? Yeah, I know there are a 273 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: lot of people think that it's just Trump. It's not 274 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 3: just Trump. Yeah, you can't win a campaign. You can't 275 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 3: win a multi billion dollar campaign without having some people 276 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: around you who know what they're doing, especially when the 277 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: Democrats figured out what happened in twenty sixteen, didn't allow that. Again, 278 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: CNN's not going to give him a billion dollars a 279 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: free advertising, folks. So who's the team? I think the 280 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: primary is necessary to get the right team in place 281 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: around him too. 282 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: And have them firing on all cylinders in the same 283 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: way that the candidate is. It's interesting. Look, if insurance 284 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: important to you, you've got car insurance. You probably got 285 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: insurance on your home life insurance. Do you have food insurance? 286 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: Have you gone out there like I have and said, Hey, 287 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen in the future. 288 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: I don't feel as comfortable about the fact that I 289 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: can roll into a grocery store and be able to 290 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: find everything as much as I did before COVID, and 291 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: I bet you don't either. I do you have everything 292 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: that you need to take care of your family in 293 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: the event of some sort of massive issue when it 294 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: comes to food supply in this country. 295 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: Maybe it's a tornado, maybe it's a hurricane. 296 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: Maybe it's just something unexpected happening that throws everything for 297 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: a loop in this country.

I'm seeing that Biden is unsurprisingly slamming McCarthy 322 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: over this. This is just from last twenty four hours. Well, 323 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: Kat default of. 324 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 6: Think about this for a second. You go, okay, bank 325 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 6: every day, just say where my limit? Right do They 326 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 6: don't ever ask for anything, right, just raise I limit. 327 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 6: That's what That's what everybody does, right, And you don't 328 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 6: worry about living within your means. I mean, don't have 329 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 6: to do that. I mean, why should you expect Biden 330 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 6: administration to ever live with their means? When we love 331 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 6: we don't make them. I mean, we've given them a 332 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 6: stupid debt to the increase without any changes. So McCarthy's 333 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 6: doing the right thing, try to get something done, and 334 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 6: Biden's being a mission in action. But guess what the 335 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 6: reason is He's gotten away with it. 336 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: WoT explain to me if this, if this proceeds the 337 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: way that you would like it to and that you 338 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: would say is the best possible outcome, what does that 339 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: look like? 340 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 6: So here's what you should think about. You should you 341 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 6: have to have bites at the apple. Okay, you're not 342 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 6: going to get everything fixed. And I would love to write. 343 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 6: What I'd love to do is, okay, let's just balance 344 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 6: a budget like I did my first year as governor. 345 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 6: I walked into four billion dollars budget, epsit, I balance it. 346 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 6: I actually cut taxes, but I said, you know what, 347 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 6: this is our so we're not spending more than this. 348 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 6: That's what I would love. That's not going to happen 349 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 6: unfortunately up here, because one there's plenty, there's Republicans that 350 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 6: don't want to do it. So, so so here's the 351 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 6: next thing. Then let's say let's get some structural change 352 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 6: to where we actually really do have a path to 353 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 6: a balance budget. So there's about six of us in 354 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 6: the Senate and we've been meeting with the Freedom Caucus 355 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 6: and other members of the House every week that we're 356 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 6: in session and say what can we get done to 357 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 6: step one? Put us on the path. Then that that's 358 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 6: what we'll do, and then step two will be when 359 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: we do the budget. And then step three, well we 360 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 6: don't get done, we'll do it the next time we 361 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 6: have a debt filling. So right, now, here's what we 362 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 6: should do, and here's what they put out. 363 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 3: One. 364 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 6: We're going to stop this ridiculous, this unbelievable increase. So 365 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 6: here's the numbers. One point eight percent increase in population 366 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 6: since twenty nineteen. Biden's budgets projected a fifty five percent 367 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 6: increase in spending since twenty nineteen. Crazy, right, So what 368 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 6: what they're posting the House is, let's let's on every 369 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 6: nondiscretion or on discretionary money. Let's put a cap on 370 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 6: a one percent increase a year. Let's figure out what 371 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 6: you have to do in your personal life. You want efficiencies, 372 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 6: like in business, you have to give efficiencies. That's number one. 373 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 6: Number two is let's get people back to work. So 374 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 6: if you're able bodied, you can't be on government programs 375 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 6: unless you want to go to work. Now, if you 376 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 6: have young kids, if you've got elderly parents, everybody understands that. 377 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 6: But if you don't, you don't get to be on 378 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 6: food stamps. No, you don't get to just take a 379 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 6: free ride on the rest of Americans. Number three is 380 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 6: we've got to get rid of this ridiculous regulation. I 381 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 6: cut taxes and fees one hundred times while I was governor. 382 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 6: That was great. We turned around the economy had one 383 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 6: point simpy jobs. But you know the bigger thing was 384 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 6: I cut twenty percent of regulations and I streamlined the permit. 385 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 6: So the part of this is what they're going to 386 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 6: do is called the rains In Act. You're going to 387 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 6: rain in the federal ridiculous process of more and more regulation. 388 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 6: So is this everything we ought to do? 389 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 4: No? 390 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 7: Is it? 391 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 6: Is it a bigger start than anything they've been done 392 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 6: up here for decades? Yes, So we can get this done. 393 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 6: This will be the first step. Then the next step 394 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 6: is we go through a real budget process and we 395 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 6: balance our budget. But step one is we need to 396 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 6: do these types of things. There's other things I'd like 397 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 6: to get done, so but you know, unfortunately, you know, 398 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 6: we have to deal with what can we get done 399 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 6: right now, and then keep buying, taking them by the apple, 400 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 6: fix and things, fixing things, fixing things. 401 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: Center Scott, you're a business guy when you look and 402 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: you're talking about basically the United States government looking at 403 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: the books and trying to figure them out. If you 404 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: were analyzing a business that had books like the United 405 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 2: States government, how long ago would it have gone bankrupt? 406 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: For people who are not business people? How dire is 407 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: the financial straits of our country? 408 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 6: We are in tough shit. I mean you, no one 409 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 6: should lend money to a federal government that has thirty 410 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 6: one a half train dollars of the debt and cannot 411 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 6: live within their means. Here's what people, if you lend 412 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 6: money to the federal government right now, here's what you're 413 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 6: saying to yourself. I think if you if you're if 414 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 6: you're lending money, you're you're buying treasuries. What you're saying 415 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 6: is the American public is so stupid that they're going 416 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 6: to con constantly to increase their taxes and fees to 417 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 6: pay for all this ridiculous spending. That's how stupid you 418 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 6: have to be. If you go out there and you 419 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 6: keep buying long term treasuries and you say, oh, of 420 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 6: course they're going to people are going to be okay 421 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 6: with tax increased. Of course they're going to be buying. 422 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 6: With this wasteles spending, they're gonna be of course, all 423 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 6: this waste. You know, we've got like seventy eight thousand 424 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 6: buildings and we don't use and we keep paying for 425 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 6: the taxpayers are going to believe in that, so these 426 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 6: you would fire everybody, Okay. I like, if you talk 427 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: to the person that runs the budget for Biden, she 428 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 6: cannot tell you how much interest is go be. She 429 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 6: cannot tell you anything I've asked for. I even sent 430 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 6: her the last time she came up, I said, hey, 431 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 6: I know you don't know any of the answers, so 432 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 6: let me tell you the questions first, because every time 433 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 6: you come and testify, you have no idea what I'm 434 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 6: talking about, Like, how much is their interest expense? Okay, 435 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 6: what sort of percentage increased. Do you think we're going 436 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: to have I mean so, I said, I center her 437 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 6: that question, and she still couldn't answer them. You fire 438 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 6: these people, You're fire on them. You fire and fire. 439 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 6: Here's what you need to do. What do you do 440 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 6: with your If you have a credit card, okay, you 441 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 6: go through your credit card stavement every month. When I 442 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 6: was governor of Florida, there's four thousand lines of the budget. 443 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 6: I went through every line of the budget every year 444 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 6: and guess what, we have a written purpose for every line. 445 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 6: That's what you do. I ran a company with two 446 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 6: hundred and eighty five thousand employees. We went through every 447 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 6: line in the budget constantly to say, how can we 448 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 6: save money? How can we make sure that we pay 449 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 6: people fairly? You can't do that if you're bankrupt. How 450 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 6: can you make sure your customers are take care of? 451 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 6: You can't do that with your bankrupt. So our federal 452 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 6: government is completely completely out of control. The Federal Reserve, 453 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 6: think about this. Fetal Reserve has thousands of people there 454 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 6: and they couldn't figure out that Silicon Valley Bank had 455 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 6: a problem. What are they doing? Oh, by the way, 456 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 6: they made sure there's not an independent inspector. In general, 457 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 6: like all of our public companies, we have independent auditors 458 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 6: that reviewer of books and report to a board fet 459 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 6: a reserve. Okay, who has a nine trillion dollar ballance 460 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 6: sheet nine three dollars balance sheet? No, No, whether federal 461 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 6: agency has a nine three dollars bouncy. They just have 462 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 6: somebody that reports just to J. 463 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 3: Powell. 464 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 6: And by the way, you wouldn't want to embarrass J. 465 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 6: Powell by putting out the facts or what they're incompetent 466 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 6: air at their basic job. How about the guy the FDA, 467 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 6: I see where signature back he said, I didn't even 468 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 6: know there's a problem. You know what it would happen 469 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 6: in business if you said, if you went to the CEO, 470 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 6: the board went to ceo and said, hey, do you 471 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 6: have a problem for your Really do you know how 472 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 6: that long? That hell long? That ceo would last about 473 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 6: about two more minutes. So your federal government is completely dysfunctional. 474 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 6: There's no accountability. There was a bill that somebody proposed 475 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 6: the other day, and we're going to spend three billion dollars, 476 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 6: which up here there like, well nothing three billion dollars, right, 477 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 6: So three billion dollars three and million dollars year. I said, 478 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 6: what's the purpose is it written? They said, well, no, no, no, 479 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 6: we don't. We don't write down that. I said, what 480 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 6: if we three and million dollars year? What if we 481 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 6: don't need it the first year? Well, we're going to 482 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 6: keep spending the money. I mean, this is what you're 483 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 6: what's what's happening up here. We've got to we've got 484 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 6: to elect people that want to balance a budget and 485 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 6: one accountability, and we don't have it right now. 486 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: Senator Scott, we were talking to start this show about 487 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 2: the state of Florida as now the central basis, the 488 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: central I would say, home of the Republican Party. Ron 489 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: DeSantis looks like he's about to announce for president.

And thirty two trillion dollars. 539 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: You don't have to be a math nerd to know 540 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 3: that's a big number. 541 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 2: And also the lack of business people That's why I 542 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: wanted to ask a question about just looking at the 543 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: books for the federal government as if it were a 544 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: business that you were interested in investing in, it would 545 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: have been bankrupt a long time ago. No business could 546 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: be run like our federal government, which is one reason 547 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: that our federal government bureaucracy is such an unmitigated disaster. 548 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 3: By the way, can I just say one thing about 549 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 3: what Elon and the Trump I'm sorry Elon and the 550 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: Tucker Trump Tucker interview, when he just said, you know, 551 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 3: we talked about what's going on with inflation and what's 552 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 3: going on with the economy. And I've said this so 553 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 3: many times, it was just nice to hear somebody who 554 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 3: is certainly a business genius, I think, put this out there, 555 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: which is, if there's no problem with just printing money, 556 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 3: give everybody a trillion dollars. Correct. Obviously there's cause and 557 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: effect here, And obviously running up a thirty two trillion 558 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 3: dollar debt and having Democrats just acting like every dollar 559 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: that's ever spent by the federal government is sacrosanc and 560 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: every additional dollar is sacrasanc is a pathway to the 561 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 3: destruction of your currency, your economy, and your society. But 562 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 3: Democrats don't know history, or they don't care to know history, 563 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 3: so they don't understand what happens when fiat currency is 564 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 3: no longer treated with any kind of seriousness or responsibility. 565 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: And contextualizing that for everybody out out there. The Tea 566 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: Party movement started when the United States was ten trillion 567 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: dollars in debt. We have added twenty plus trillion dollars 568 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: in debt since twenty ten. I mean, it's staggering for 569 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: anybody out there who just I mean, it is mind 570 00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: blowing to think about. 571 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: But we got one hundred and thirty billion for Ukraine anyway. 572 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, we just keep printing money like there are 573 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: no consequences, and that's how we ended up with nine 574 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: percent inflation.

Do you remember 623 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 2: the media outlet that first published the Steel dossier. Uh, BuzzFeed, 624 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: I do on speed News published it for the very 625 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: first time. 626 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 3: And dude, do you remember that there was some consternation 627 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 3: in the Democrat media because they weren't really ready for 628 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: it all to be They wanted to drip it out 629 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 3: slowly and do the whole thing anyway, keep going. 630 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: The organization BuzzFeed News that published the Steel dossier, just 631 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: in the last hour or so, has announced that they 632 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 2: are completely shutting down. Now, this is not all of BuzzFeed, 633 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 2: but the BuzzFeed news group that published the Steele dossier, 634 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: making the allegations public for the very first time about 635 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: these flagrantly untrue allegations that Hillary Clinton paid for in 636 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: the Steele dossier. That company is now going to now 637 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: going to go basically away from the news business completely. 638 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: And I don't know what this leaves BuzzFeed to do, buck, 639 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: because BuzzFeed was sort of a star of the early 640 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 2: Facebook era where every thing was going viral, And now 641 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 2: I don't even know why someone would go to BuzzFeed. 642 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 2: Do you have any sense, like, when's the last time 643 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 2: you saw something on BuzzFeed? You remember because you worked 644 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: in digital media at the time too, BuzzFeed was the 645 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: king of viral clickbait content and now there's like no 646 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: substance to them at all. That was the idea behind 647 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 2: BuzzFeed News. I don't even know what the basis for 648 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: the brand would be now. 649 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 3: BuzzFeed was come for the cat videos, stay for the 650 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 3: hard hitting political journalism, which was never gonna work. It 651 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: really was initially about like listicals, like you know, I 652 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: can't remember how stupid that a lot of them were, 653 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 3: but it was the really just the ultimate in clickbait 654 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 3: and just mindless, brainless whatever. We'll try to get some 655 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 3: of virality with no real initially no real editorial band 656 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 3: other than just you know, look at this cute furry cat, 657 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 3: click on it, right. And then, obviously, as so many 658 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 3: of these institutions do, it just became effectively an organ 659 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 3: for the Democrat Party. I always thought that BuzzFeed was 660 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 3: a garbage site. I never liked it. I've never been 661 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 3: somebody that spent much time reading it, other than to 662 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 3: read it to see what kind of propaganda they were pushing. 663 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 3: That guy was Ben Smith is now at the New 664 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 3: York Times, right. He was the one who published He 665 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: left the New York Times. He did leave BuzzFeed for 666 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 3: the New York Times. I think he's got a new 667 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 3: media company now, he's gone somewhere else. His company a 668 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 3: smarmy and deeply dishonest fellow that no person should take seriously. 669 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 3: In case I was wondering what I think, So, yeah, 670 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 3: I think that I think that BuzzFeed getting it's come 671 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 3: up in here. First of all, think of all these 672 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 3: sites are all saying the same thing. Isn't it fascinating? 673 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 3: We just had Joy Reid. We played that audio before. 674 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 3: Basically she wants Fox News off the air. Okay, what 675 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 3: channel would half the country be able to watch for 676 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: their news? 677 00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 678 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 3: We all have to watch MSN and CNN. And here 679 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 3: how you know thirteen year olds to get their genitals 680 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 3: removed because some teacher told them that maybe they're in 681 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 3: the wrong body. Those are our news options. Russia collusion, 682 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 3: that climate change is an existential threat, and if you 683 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 3: don't buy into that while people are flying in their 684 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 3: private jets at the climate change conference, you're a bad person. 685 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 3: That's what we're supposed to have in this country. I mean, 686 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 3: when you really think about it, there's something deeply wrong 687 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 3: with these libs. They don't even want you to have. 688 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 3: We can't have one channel, Clay BuzzFeed, the news stories 689 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: they were posting for last decade, interchangeable with fifty other 690 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 3: lib websites, interchangeable. You're right, but we're not allowed to 691 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 3: have anything. It's well said. 692 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 2: I mean, and I have argued, if Rupert Murdoch didn't exist, 693 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 2: we wouldn't really have a marketplace of ideas in media 694 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 2: right now. Because he owns Fox News, he owns a 695 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: New York Post, he owns the Wall Street Journal, he 696 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 2: now owns OutKick, and this ties in with the other 697 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 2: breaking news element that's out there. 698 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:52,959 Speaker 3: Buck. 699 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 2: The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act Past 700 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,959 Speaker 2: two hundred and nineteen two three this morning, a little 701 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 2: bit of go on Capitol Hill in the House of Representatives. 702 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 2: Not one single Democrat Buck voted in favor of women 703 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: competing against women. In fact, Democrats said that this was 704 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 2: bullying and belittling trans people. We should name it the 705 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 2: cancel kids trans hate bill. This bill fuels a virulent 706 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: hate campaign. They said that this debate itself, according to 707 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 2: Mark Takano, whoever that is from California, said, the debate 708 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 2: itself has been traumatizing. 709 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 3: Would you have ever. 710 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 2: Believed, Buck, that we would find ourselves in a world 711 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: where not one single Democrat in the entire House of 712 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: Representatives would stand up and say we shouldn't have dudes 713 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: pretending to be women able to compete against women. 714 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 3: Not one Democrat. This is I believe going to be. 715 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 2: A huge issue in twenty twenty four because I think 716 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people out there who are not particularly 717 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,399 Speaker 2: political in nature. And if you're listening to us right 718 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 2: now and you got grandkids, or you got kids and 719 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 2: your daughters love playing sports, there is going to be 720 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 2: in the next five years a dude in your school district, 721 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: a dude in your state who is dominating in a 722 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 2: women's sports just because he's claiming to be a woman. 723 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 3: So that has now happened. 724 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 2: And then I wanted to make sure that we hit 725 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 2: this as well, Buck, the Hunter Bye revelation. And this 726 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 2: is not going to shock any of you, but Wall 727 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 2: Street Journal breaks a report that an internal whistleblower at 728 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 2: the IRS has wants to testify and wants to share 729 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 2: the story of the fact. Go figure, I know this 730 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 2: is going to stun all of you. That Hunter Biden, 731 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: the President's son is receiving preferential treatment and that he 732 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 2: is not being handled like would ordinarily occur in the 733 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 2: IRS if he's not the son of the president. But 734 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 2: to the credit, CBS News even managed to cover this. 735 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 2: Here's cut seventeen. I'll let you react, Buck. 736 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 8: There is breaking news in the federal criminal investigation into 737 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 8: Hunter Biden's tax returns. An attorney for an IRS supervisor 738 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 8: sent a letter to lawmakers today asking for whistleblower protection, 739 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 8: saying his client has information that suggests the investigation is 740 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 8: being improperly influenced by quote, preferential treatment and politics. 741 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 5: Attorney Mark Ladle's client is a super advisory's special agent 742 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 5: at the IRS who's prepared to tell Congress the investigation 743 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 5: he's been working on has been hampered by what he 744 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 5: thinks is special treatment. Litel wouldn't talk in specifics, declining 745 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 5: to identify either his client or the target of the 746 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 5: investigation his client helped conduct. But CBS News has learned 747 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 5: the investigation the whistleblower worked on is about Hunter Biden. 748 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 2: Okay, Buck, anything come from this at all? Or is 749 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 2: this just more evidence of what we already knew, which 750 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 2: is this is an absolute absurdity. 751 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 3: Look, it's not surprising, right. That's the part of it 752 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 3: that I think we all have to just remember. They 753 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 3: have two sets of rules because they can. They don't 754 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 3: feel guilty about it. They think they're better than you. 755 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,959 Speaker 3: They think Joe Biden and Democrats are better than Republicans 756 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 3: and therefore there should be different sets of rules. They 757 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 3: don't feel bad about this. I think more and more 758 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 3: conservatives have woken up to this years. It's not okay. 759 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 3: I guess, you know, maybe the President's son, because it's 760 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 3: a Democrat, Joe Biden is getting a little special treatment. 761 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 3: What they really believe, I mean they won't say this 762 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 3: out loud, is, of course Joe Biden sun gets special treatment. 763 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 3: He's a Democrat. He's team good guy. Republicans are team 764 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 3: bad guy. And so whatever they have to do to 765 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 3: change the law is change the rules and effectively destroy 766 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 3: the rule of law in that process, they think is 767 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 3: entirely justified. They don't feel badly about it at all. 768 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 3: I mean, from what we already know. So Hunter got 769 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 3: millions and millions of dollars, didn't declare it, didn't pay 770 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 3: taxes on it. There's also the you know, money laundering 771 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 3: is one of those things, one of those federal statutes 772 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 3: that it sounds you know, it sounds bad depending on 773 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 3: who you're doing it for, and then you see what 774 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 3: the actual prison sentences can be attached to it. I mean, 775 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 3: if the federal government decides to put you away for 776 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 3: pretty straightforward money laundering, it's not hard. They can send 777 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 3: you away for decades if they want to. So the 778 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 3: fact that that investigations and there's been no charges against 779 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden. Of course, this is a situation, and this 780 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 3: is why I thought all along they won't there won't 781 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 3: be any prosecution of Hunter Biden. That's why they won't 782 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 3: set it. By the way, just by way of review, 783 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,800 Speaker 3: I'm a little fired up about this. The special Council 784 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 3: exists specifically to deal with something like this. Correct, you 785 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 3: have to create when a president's family member is possibly 786 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,280 Speaker 3: involved in multiple felonies. You have to create a different 787 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 3: process and a somewhat different chain of command with a 788 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 3: Department of Justice. It's if you were coming up with 789 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 3: in a lab setting, you know, in a theory theorizing session, 790 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 3: how you could have a special council. The fact that 791 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 3: there's no special council for Hunter Biden. By the way, 792 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 3: the Yeah, they declared one for him on the documents. Yeah, 793 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 3: they're just gonna say, no, big deal, we found the document. 794 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 3: They're just gonna make that go away. They just had 795 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 3: to go through the box checking exercise of oh, there's 796 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 3: a special council on Hunter Biden. They can't have a 797 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 3: special counsel club because there's obvious crimes, right, So you 798 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 3: can't have somebody who's really independently investigating this. The whole 799 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 3: point is, whoever that US attorney is in Delaware, I 800 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 3: forget his name now, who's looked at this? His boss 801 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 3: is Merrick Garland, He's not doesn't matter. If he's a 802 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 3: straight shooter, you could trust him what Merrick Garland's calling 803 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 3: the shots on this one. That's why nothing's going to happen. 804 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,800 Speaker 2: If RFK Junior wanted to go hard in the paint 805 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 2: on this Democrat presidential campaign, not only would he go 806 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 2: after the COVID shot, which is an abject failure, and 807 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 2: Biden's entire tenure in office, which is an unmitigated disaster, 808 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 2: but he really should call attention to Hunter Biden and 809 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 2: the crimes of the Biden family as evidence for why 810 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is not the best nominee for Democrats going forward. 811 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 2: But the more I look at this polling data, I 812 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 2: think that Robert F. Kennedy Junior is going to run 813 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 2: and have some success again Joe Biden, because Joe Biden 814 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 2: doesn't have any actual supporters. Joe Biden was elected by 815 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 2: people who do not like Donald Trump. Nobody was like, 816 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 2: I love Joe Biden. If Gavin Newsom got into this race, 817 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 2: he would smoke Joe Biden. I really do believe that. 818 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: I think Gavin Newsom is a far more skilled politician. 819 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 2: He's certainly thirty years younger. He's incredibly more intelligentic, and 820 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 2: dexterous in his political life. 821 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 3: It's actually very similar to a young Joe Biden in 822 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 3: that he'll say absolutely anything. He's completely a chameleon. He'll 823 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 3: do whatever works in the moment. He has no scruples, 824 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 3: no ethics, and just doesn't care whatever works. It's actually 825 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 3: the Biden way. 826 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 2: Except he's way better at it. And I think he 827 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 2: would smoke Biden if he actually got in the race. 828 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 2: And I'll just toss this out. He said he's not 829 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: going to do it, but this would also allow him 830 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: to avoid getting called racist and sexist because then next 831 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 2: next time he's going to have to run against Kamala 832 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 2: Harris and Democrats are going to trot out their identity politics. 833 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 2: But when he's running against an old white guy and 834 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is the VP who is locked in with Biden, 835 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 2: it actually would provide an incredible pathway for Gavin Newsom 836 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: to the nomination. 837 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 3: I think you'd win. Interesting, don't you think you'd get 838 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 3: the nomination over Biden if he actually ran h that's 839 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 3: an interesting question. I think you would. And we'll come 840 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 3: back to it. Inflation and prices are rising, and now 841 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 3: there's a banking crisis to worry about with the current 842 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 3: stock market volatility.

Play had to go catch a plane 861 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 3: cause our friend Kat Timp is with us now. She 862 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 3: is a Fox News contributor co host of Gutfeld, a 863 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 3: fabulous show on Monday through Fridays on Fox News. You 864 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 3: should all watch. And she's got a new book out. 865 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 3: You can't joke about that, Cat. I have a feeling 866 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 3: that whenever someone says you can't joke about that, you 867 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: pick that out and you make a joke about it. 868 00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 3: What's going on? 869 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 7: That is absolutely true? Good to talk with you. Yeah, 870 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 7: That's why I'm sitting on a coffin on my book 871 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 7: cover because I wanted to make it very clear that 872 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 7: you can joke about absolutely everything. And I don't think 873 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 7: that that people who say you can't joke about that 874 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 7: are just like snowflakes or whatever they're normally called. I 875 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 7: think that actually really harming people because a lot of people, 876 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 7: myself included, use humor as a healing mechanism, and they're 877 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 7: telling people that they can't do that, which also can 878 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 7: keep people from making connections with other people through humor. 879 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 3: Do you think we're gaining some ground though? You know, 880 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 3: we talk on the show a fair amount here Kat 881 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,879 Speaker 3: about some of the people, whether it's Bill Maher who's 882 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 3: a comedian slash political commentator, but obviously, you know, Dave 883 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 3: Chappelle has made jokes and had specials and things that 884 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 3: he didn't, you know, bend the knee to the woke 885 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 3: cancel crowd. Is it moving filing the right direction? Or 886 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 3: is that a little too optimistic? 887 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,240 Speaker 7: You know, I hate to be optimistic, but I certainly 888 00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 7: hope so. 889 00:46:58,920 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 5: Right. 890 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 7: I think that more and more people are starting to 891 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 7: see the reality of the situation, which is a lot 892 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 7: of these people who present themselves as being these sensitive, 893 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 7: compassionate people are actually jerks. Because I write about this 894 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 7: in my book too. I think it's not a bad 895 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 7: thing to talk about your feelings, to have feelings that 896 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 7: are hurt, to express that your feelings are hurt. Where 897 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 7: it becomes an issue is when you expect the entire 898 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 7: world to revolve around your specific feelings and sensibilities. That 899 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 7: doesn't make you a sensitive person. That actually makes you 900 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 7: a self obsessed bully. And that is the difference. And 901 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 7: I think a lot of people really are starting to 902 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 7: see the difference between them. Somebody who's just, oh, I'm 903 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 7: sensitive my feelings, there are in somebody who wants to 904 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 7: use that to gain power and control over other people 905 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 7: because maybe they haven't been as successful as they want 906 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 7: it to be in life and they want to take 907 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 7: someone else down, or for whatever other reason. 908 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 3: Why do you think so many comedians, even very successful ones, 909 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 3: still go along with the censorship rules? You know? That 910 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 3: is it because you think mostly they're ideologically aligned with 911 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 3: these new rules or they just scared. I know it's 912 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 3: a combination, But what do you think is the is 913 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 3: the main reasoning for a lot of cowardice in the 914 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 3: realm of comedy which people rely on to be pushing boundaries. 915 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,719 Speaker 7: Yes, I share some research in my book that's not 916 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 7: specific to comedians, but just to humans that there are 917 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 7: so many subjects where there are these massively wide gaps 918 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 7: between what people say they believe and what they actually believe. 919 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 7: So if that's just the average human being, you know, 920 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 7: a comedian probably is doing the exact same thing, and 921 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 7: it's really really harmful because what we've done essentially, you know, 922 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 7: the general we certainly not me, certainly not you, but 923 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 7: we've created these rules for society for speech, for comedy 924 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 7: that most of us actually don't even agree with. So 925 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,399 Speaker 7: it's just becomes sort of this self fulfilling prophecy unfortunately, 926 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 7: where people think, oh, I can't say that people will 927 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 7: be so upset at me, but actually they wouldn't, and 928 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 7: they're just saying that because they don't want anyone to 929 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 7: be upset at them. 930 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 3: Speaking of cat Tim, if she's got a book out, 931 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 3: you can't joke about that. You should go get your 932 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 3: copy today. Kat. If I could just switch gears for 933 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 3: a second, I'm sure you know about popcorn Gate, Oh 934 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 3: of course, Okay, all right, so this got There are 935 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 3: a few things that got people more fired up on 936 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 3: this program yesterday than popcorn Gate. With the airline stewardess 937 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 3: telling the mother of two whose husband's a Major League 938 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 3: baseball player, and tweeted about it. This became a big bruhaha. 939 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 3: Where do you come down on popcorn gate? 940 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 7: And you're not exaggerating? Okay, this is my pub week, right, 941 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 7: as you know, this is extremely busy week for me, 942 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 7: and I've heard of popcorn gate. Look, I think that 943 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 7: everybody's kind of wrong here. I mean, you're going to 944 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 7: give a two year old a bag of popcorn? What 945 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 7: do you think is going to happen? Also, I mean 946 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 7: this is a first world problem, right, Not that I 947 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 7: haven't done it, not that I've not you know, complained 948 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,399 Speaker 7: about something that's happened on an airplane, but you know, 949 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 7: if you're flying and then there's you have to clean 950 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 7: up popcorn, your life is overall pretty good, right. I 951 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 7: also feel like when I was five years old, if 952 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 7: I made a mess I didn't clean up, I would 953 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 7: be in big trouble. 954 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 3: I do think that discipline from the parents is always 955 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 3: or really just forethought in this case, not really discipline, 956 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,360 Speaker 3: but that's always can be an important part of the equation. Everybody, 957 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 3: go go get your copy of You can't joke about that. 958 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 3: Kat timf is the author, and Kat, thank you so 959 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 3: much for making the time, Thanks for coming on. 960 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 7: The show, Thanks for having me Buck. 961 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,279 Speaker 3: Team. We're gonna come back here in a second and 962 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 3: talk about what the Mayor of Chicago said on with 963 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 3: the Mayor of Chicago said about the riots that happened 964 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 3: over the weekend. So we'll come back into that here 965 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 3: in just a moment. You got to stay with us 966 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 3: for that. You know, there are organizations making a worthy 967 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 3: difference worth talking about. Last year, we partnered with the 968 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 3: Preborn Network of Clinics nationwide to save the lives of 969 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 3: unborn children. Already, they've saved the lives more than two 970 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 3: hundre thousand unborn children over the last sixteen years. Preborn 971 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 3: Network of Clinics bring hope to pregnant women considering abortion 972 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,399 Speaker 3: through ultrasound imaging so they can meet the precious life 973 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 3: within them. Story of one pregnant mother tells their story best. 974 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 3: Victoria was anxious when she found out she was pregnant, 975 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 3: and internet search led her to a Preborn Network clinic 976 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 3: where she would decide the future of her unborn baby. 977 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 3: After seeing her baby on ultrasound, an immediate bomb was 978 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,359 Speaker 3: formed with her unborn baby, so she could not put 979 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 3: it into words, even it was so powerful. She also 980 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,800 Speaker 3: felt loved by her counselor, who assured her it was 981 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 3: going to be okay. Thanks to Preborn, Victoria courageously chose life. 982 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 3: It is now eagerly awaiting her baby boy. Preborn doesn't 983 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 3: receive government funds for their work. They rely on our donations. 984 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 3: Or just twenty eight dollars, you can sponsor a life 985 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 3: changing ultrasound and help write a new life story. Donations 986 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 3: of any size go towards saving babies and caring for others, 987 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 3: and all contributions are tax deductible. When you give, you'll 988 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 3: receive pictures and stories of life. Your gift help the rescue. 989 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 3: You can donate online or with a phone call. I've 990 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 3: donated online in the past.
