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

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: appreciate all of you hanging out with us after what

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: was a big weekend. I'm sure many of you are,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: like me, unable to escape. Taylor Swift as the Kansas

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: City Chiefs and the San Francisco forty nine ers will

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: be advancing to the super Bowl next week. I'll be

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: out in Las Vegas. We'll probably have some fun with that.

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: Buck had no idea the games were going on. He

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: was watching Masters of the Air or Masters that was

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: called the New World War two Fighting Epic.

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: We'll get a review for the air on Masters of

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 3: the Air. The title may be the most interesting part

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: of the whole thing.

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: Not good. I'll give you my full review later. Lots

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: of stories that we're going to dive into. The border

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: battle has heated up and appears Republicans are not going

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: to allow Joe Biden to try to tie them to this.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: We'll see whether or not that is successful. Awful story

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: from the Middle East where in Iran terror group struck

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: and killed three service members. We will be talking about

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: that and what is the appropriate response from the United

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: States to that act of aggression Over one hundred and

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: fifty acts of aggression from Iraqi Iranian affiliated terror groups

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: since the October seventh terror attack happened in Israel.

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: We will break all of that down.

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: But Buck, this story happened on Friday, and I don't

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: want it to slide under the radar just because it

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: happened to have happened on Friday afternoon while I, by

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: the way, was trying to teach my fifteen year old

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: how to drive, So I was trying to keep tabs

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: on this story producer ally blowing up our phone with it,

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: and then all the news alerts that are coming down

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: while I was trying to avoid him driving off the

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: road end or hitting anybody. So that timing on Friday afternoon,

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: I feel like we haven't gotten as much intelligent discussion

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: of that issue as we should have. And to me, Buck,

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I read and I looked at it. I don't know

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: that I've ever seen a more indefensible civil trial verdict

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: than eighty three million dollars going to Egene Carroll. This

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: is a direct attack upon Donald Trump because of his

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: political beliefs. Buck, they changed the statute of limitations in

44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: New York to even allow this lawsuit to happen in

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: the first place, and in particular they determined this jury,

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: and also the court system and the apparatus surrounding it

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: in general, that Trump has to pay eighty three million

48
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: dollars because he denied that he committed sexual assault in

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen when she wrote a book claiming that she

50
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: had been sexually assaulted. The entire premise of this judgment is,

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: I think one of the most indefensible civil court rulings

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: that I can remember. What are you supposed to do

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: if someone accuses you of sexual assault? How is it

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: defamation to say that they are lying and that you

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 2: didn't do it?

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: He was never charged with a crime in this case.

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: It's much like the Kavanaugh case buck in that if

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: you actually look at all the details of this allegation,

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: it doesn't add up. She doesn't know when it was,

60
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: She says, no, what year it was, She's there's all

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: these different She's a clear kook in many ways in

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: terms of her public pronouncements, like when she said some

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: people think rape is sexy when she was on with

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Anderson Cooper, And this is such a transparently political maneuver

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: funded by Donald Trump's political adversaries. I don't want what

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: happened to Trump on Friday to slide under the radar,

67
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: and I would love to hear from other lawyers on

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: this too during the course of the show. If you

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: have opinions like me, how is it buck that you

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: can't deny that you committed a crime without getting accused

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: of defamation.

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So what they've done.

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: Is used a civil procedure that they changed, And I

74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: would just point out the statute of limitations is a

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: very important thing. It's not just a technicality, because it's

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: really hard for an innocent person to prove their innocence

77
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: about something that happened, depending on the crime we're talking

78
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: about ten years ago, twenty years ago, you know, how

79
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: could you gather witnesses, how could you prove how could.

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: You have an alibi? Right?

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 3: I mean, these things just become impossible at some point.

82
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: So it's not just some mere technicality. I know that

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: there's no statute for a murder and for a few

84
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: other things, but generally speaking, to just remove the statute

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: is not a minor is not a minor issue, and

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 3: to do so in this case to get Trump basically.

87
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that's really why they did it in New

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: York State specifically to open this up. I think is egregious,

89
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: but it's a preponderance of the evidence standard. It's say

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: this is the jury sits there and say, as you know,

91
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: I think he probably did it, but I don't really know,

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: and that's a massive difference. Then he did it beyond

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: a reasonable doubt. I am certain that this person did

94
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: this thing. But what they're doing is using a civil

95
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: verdict as essentially the foundation for well, clearly Trump must

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: have done this. Therefore, when he says he didn't do it,

97
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: and when he says this woman is lying, he is

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: defaming her. This is lawfair. This is all it is.

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: This is lawfair, pure and simple against Donald Trump. There's

100
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: so much of this. I'll be honest with you, Clay.

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I think there should be more important.

102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: Things in the world for us to talk about than

103
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: another lawsuit against Donald Trump. But he's the presidential nominee.

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: They're destroying our system in order to destroy him. I

105
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: want to talk more about the border, which we will.

106
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 3: I want to talk more about this Iranian backed militia

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: in Iraq and Syria, which we will. But in the meantime,

108
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: you know, I don't want it to be the constant

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: Trump legal defense here on the air. What choice do

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: we have. They make it im possible they will not stop.

111
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: So the only way to make them stop is to

112
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: defeat them, right, I mean, this is what we're forced into.

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: And yeah, they're making a massive political gamble, but they're

114
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: also gambling with the system because to your point, and

115
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: this is why I thought the Kavanaugh thing was really

116
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: the ugliest thing I've ever seen in American politics. A

117
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: manifestly innocent man being tortured by in some ritualized session

118
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: by the Senate on the testimony of a loon. It

119
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: was disgraceful to the country, and Kamala Harris was a

120
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: part of it. But it was meant to set the precedent.

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: And now they're using that president to go after Trump.

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: And don't mistake what they're trying to do here too,

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: because expect that Leticia James is going to get from

124
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: her ally, the judge in the business lawsuit against the

125
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Trump organization a verdict a penalty of somewhere in the

126
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: neighborhood of three hundred and fifty million dollars that's what

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: I would set the over under it. So then you

128
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: combine it with the eighty eight million, and you're talking

129
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: about Trump having to host, even to appeal somewhere around

130
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty million dollars with other civil liabilities outstanding,

131
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: which could lead to further dollars that are coming out

132
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: of his pocket. Even if you're super rich, most people

133
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: don't have four hundred and fifty million dollars. Most people

134
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: don't have eighty eight million dollars in cash, even for

135
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: the very wealthy that's often tied up in assets, real estate,

136
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: all these different holdings. And so the idea that you

137
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: could be that you could be responsible for defamation for

138
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: denying that you sexually assaulted someone is one of the craziest,

139
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: most broken, grotesque perversions of the civil court justice system

140
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: that I can ever remember.

141
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do?

142
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: Just allow people to make accusations that you've engaged in

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: criminal behavior and never ever fire back at them at all?

144
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: Also, can I just point out that because it's civil,

145
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: the penalties for lying aren't going to be in four

146
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: that all, so she can say whatever she wants and

147
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: not that a lot of times they're not in these

148
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: cases anyway. But she can say whatever she wants. There's

149
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: already a lot of discrepancy in her testimony. She can't

150
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: prove a damn thing. It would never get anywhere near

151
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: I mean, in what way is this worth eighty three

152
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: million dollars? I mean, what is the calculators?

153
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: No connection? Yes?

154
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: Why not a trillion? I mean, I think Trump said

155
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: a mean thing about this crazy person who's lying. I

156
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: think he should have to pay a trillion dollars. A

157
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: trillion sounds like a much better judgment to me. Why

158
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: not a whatever comes after a quadrillion? I mean, it's

159
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: just nuts clay, And this is yet again why I

160
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: understand and for people that are that are upset that

161
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: they feel like, oh well, Trump has been chosen by

162
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: the Democrats with all these indictments.

163
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but what are we going to do, right? I mean,

164
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: whether they believe that or not.

165
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying there are people out there, you know,

166
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 3: half of the GOP electorate Trump wasn't let's say, maybe

167
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: forty percent, but wasn't their first choice. But they are

168
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: rallying behind him now, I think. But for anyone who

169
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: has misgivings about it, you can't let them do this.

170
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: I mean, what are we going to do? You know,

171
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: this isn't the last time. Look what they did to Cavalol.

172
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: Clay Kavanaugh is a boy scout. I mean, Kavanaugh makes

173
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: Mitt Romney look like Axel Rose from the Guns N'

174
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: Roses Days. And they they actually put people on TV.

175
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 3: They remember the third woman Sweatnik, They put her on TV.

176
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 3: She was saying that he was part of some secret

177
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: gang rape squad in high school. She was a college

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: girl who was going back. I mean, if you go

179
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: back and watch this. They aired this stuff on like

180
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 3: national TV show, on national news channels. It was absolute madness.

181
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: My point being here, they're not just going to do

182
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: this against Trump. If they get away with it, they're

183
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: setting the standard going forward. So to circle the wagon's mentality,

184
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: what's the alternative? Let them do it?

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: No, And look, and she's not even hiding what she's

186
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: trying to do. Egene Carroll, we have a cut here,

187
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: says she'll do anything she can to help the Biden camp.

188
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Paying here's cut three. Miscray says nothing. You say, the

189
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: emperor has no clothes. The emperor is trying to run

190
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: for president.

191
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: Again, and right.

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Now the polls suggest it's a coin flip. It's very close.

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: Have you heard from Joe Biden's campaign arm about potentially

194
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 5: campaigning against the former president Donald Trump?

195
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: No, are you interested in doing so? Do anything I can?

196
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: That's yes, there you go. I mean, you can't make

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: it any more transparently political. And I'll just point out

198
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: here Joe Biden far more credibly accused by Tara Reid,

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,119
Speaker 2: one of his former employees, to have directly sexually assaulted

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: her while she was working for him, a story that

201
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: is connected and that she has told for decades, and

202
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: that story completely vanished, no consequences whatsoever for Joe Biden

203
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: from those what seems fairly credible allegations of sexual assault

204
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: that would also be sexual harassment because she was his employee.

205
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, and they're not going to change statutes in DC

206
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: or Delaware where at whichever state this allegedly occurred in

207
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: in order to just go after Joe Biden.

208
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: That's what they did to Donald Trump, right.

209
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean, there's something deeply troublesome about what we have seen.

210
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: Specifically in my home state in New York State, they

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: have an attorney general for this state who ran for

212
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: office saying she was going to go after a private citizen,

213
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: and then she went after that private citizen. I should say,

214
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: you know, he's a private citizen now obviously a former president,

215
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: and you also have the changing of laws by the

216
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: state legislature to also go after an individual in Donald Trump.

217
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: You can't allow this stuff to happen. I mean, if

218
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: the Democrats think that they can do this and their

219
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: successful in this, and there's not consequences to it, there's

220
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: not sufficient pushback.

221
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I can assure you that they would.

222
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: Have been finding ways to go after anybody who was

223
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: the Republican nominee using the law now and notice Clay,

224
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: they also bring in a lot of people in Trump's orbit.

225
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: Think of all the people around Trump that are being

226
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: sued for this or sued for no doubt, you've never

227
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: seen so many high level public officials sued for defamation,

228
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: you know, sued for some for something that they said.

229
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: And they know that because Trump is so polarizing, all

230
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: they have to do is get some anti Trump lunatics

231
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: on the jury. They'll get a you know, a billion

232
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: dollar settlement, a trillion dollar settlement, whatever number we can think.

233
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: Of, Buck I was speaking, We'll go to break here.

234
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: But I was speaking on Saturday down in Palm Beach

235
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: and Roger Stone was there, and he also got up

236
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: and spoke. Remember, they raided his home early in the

237
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: morning as many FBI agents as they could basically find,

238
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: and CNN just so happened to be there to catch

239
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: it all live Russia collusion liy.

240
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: CNN tried to tell everybody that they were not tipped

241
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: off by the FBI about that. A five am raid

242
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: for effectively a non crime, I mean, for like saying

243
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: some things on DM to somebody and then saying something

244
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: in trial that and they sent dozens of men with

245
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: long guns to go arrest him at five am. Roger

246
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 3: came out in like some stubs and wooden slippers and

247
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: silk pajamas, like.

248
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: As you would typically be at five am if someone

249
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: showed up at your house, you're still in bed in

250
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: the middle of the night. Basically for most people, you

251
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: haven't hardly woken up.

252
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I keep seeing what they're doing, and you know,

253
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: I understand there's frustration out there too, because what do

254
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: we do in response to this? What do Republicans do

255
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: in the states that they have control and in the

256
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 3: legislatures where they have a majority. I would hope that

257
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 3: if Trump manages to be president again, that he remembers

258
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: all of this and takes really, really serious action and

259
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 3: doesn't surround himself with a bunch of swampy advisors. Oh yeah,

260
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna have that talk too. That I have not

261
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: forgotten because I think Trump's instincts are in the right place.

262
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: I think some of the people around and eyone wants

263
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: to argue with me on that one. I welcome that fight.

264
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: He had some really bad advisors around him early on,

265
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 3: particularly in the first term. Second term. We got to

266
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: get people that understand the fight that they're in, that

267
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: understand what time it is. As they say, so, we'll

268
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: get into this. Eight hundred and two two two eight

269
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: a two. The families of three US troops killed and

270
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: more than thirty others wounded in an overnight drone attack

271
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: on a small US military outpost in Jordan got the

272
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: worst news possible.

273
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: The tunnel.

274
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: The Towers Foundation is dedicated to helping America's heroes and

275
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: their families during these very challenging times when a first

276
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: responder or a military service member doesn't come home and

277
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: young children are left behind. Talent to Towers pays the

278
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: mortgage on the family home to lift the financial burden

279
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,440

Speaker 3: builds mortgage free smart homes, which enables severe injured heroes

281
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: to live more independent lives. Through the foundation's Homeless Veteran program,

282
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: Tunnel the Towers is providing housing and needed services to

283
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: homeless veterans. More than three thousand were help last year alone.

284
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: The Foundation's nine to eleven Institute is helping teachers educate

285
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: kids about our nation's darkest day. So America will never

286
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: forget people who put their lives on the line for

287
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,800

292
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: number two t dot org. We're gonna dive a little

293
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: bit deeper into the situation in the Middle East, including

294
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: the White House's response.

295
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Here.

296
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: I remember we had three US service members killed. We

297
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: know that the drone attack. It's in Iranian made flown

298
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: by Iranian backed militia.

299
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: Tough to know.

300
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: They could be Iranians operating on Iraqi or Syrian soil.

301
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: They could also be Syrians or Iraqis with Iranian backing

302
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: and training. Depends on which militia entity. But we know

303
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: right now that we lost three of ours and a

304
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: couple dozen were wounded. So it was a pretty heavy strike.

305
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: It was a big drone that went off, a big

306
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 3: drone that exploded on the larger sides size of drones

307
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: that are used as these kind of in these drone

308
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: suicide missions, if you will, so we'll dive into some

309
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: of that.

310
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Also.

311
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: I want to talk to Clay later on because this

312
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: story really stuck out to me. A four hundred thousand

313
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: job that doesn't require a college degree, I want you

314
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: to think about that for a second, especially as we've

315
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: seen what's going on at Harvard and some of these

316
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: elite universities. A job where you don't need a college

317
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: degree you can make four hundred grand and Walmart store manager, Clay,

318
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 3: I think we should talk about how.

319
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: There's a whole new world.

320
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: Of highly paid professions that do not care if you

321
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: have a social studies masters from you know, university of whatever.

322
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: Have you ever worked in retail in any of your jobs?

323
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: If I worked retail, No, I've worked. Oh, I'll talk

324
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: about that. I've worked in a bunch of retail places.

325
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: I would say they worked at Abercrombie and Fitch, where

326
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: they only take handsome people. By the way, so did

327
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 2: my wife. So I always liked that I worked at

328
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, and Media Play in the

329
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: book department, among others. I might have had more, but

330
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: retail top stud talent makes a huge difference if you've

331
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: ever worked retail, So that doesn't surprise me necessarily.

332
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: If you're an investor in the stock market, you're feeling

333
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: pretty good about your returns in the first month of

334
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: this year, but don't let your guard down when it

335
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: comes to the full economic picture of our nation. There's

336
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: a lot of uncertainty out in the world. Look at

337
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: what's going on in the Middle East, and the value

338
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: of the US dollar could plummet rapidly, which could have

339
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: a major effect on your savings. Former Wall Street insider

340
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: and editor Tikachawari believes that's the case. He's put all

341
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: of his thoughts in Research online in a video presentation

342
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 3: for you to learn from. He's adamant that we're vulnerable

343
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: to problems this year when it comes to the dollar.

344
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: So he's created this video for you to watch and understand.

345
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: Video is free and include several steps you want to

346
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: take in order.

Speaker 3: That's move your cash now dot Com. Move your cash

Speaker 3: by Palm Beach Research Group.

353
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: Three service members killed over the weekend, first to die

354
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: United States service members since the October seventh terror attack

355
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: when cowards stormed into Israel and killed over twelve hundred.

356
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: I think israelis remember there's still what is the number

357
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: five American hostages being held I believe is the number

358
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: by Hamas that we know of, and still babies being

359
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: held by Hamas. So that story is still ongoing as

360
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: we approach now February, and I don't know when the

361
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: official end of Israel's response is going to come. But

362
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: in the meantime, violence has continued in the Middle East,

363
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: and Iran and Iranian backed groups have been attacking United

364
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: States interest in the Middle East. I believe now over

365
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty of those attacks. This is purportedly

366
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: a drone that killed three people. And I just want

367
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 2: to play a couple of cuts for you. First, Here

368
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: is former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying, essentially Iran

369
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: has decided they're at war with the United States.

370
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 5: Listen, it's pretty clear that the Biden adminstration's policies have

371
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: resulted in a huge conflagration. I hear people talking about

372
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: whether we're going to end up at war with Iran.

373
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: I can assure you the Iranians are at war with

374
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: the United States today. They've now killed American servicemen, these

375
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: three certainly in these past days, and we shouldn't forget

376
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: the two Navy seals that lost their lives and the

377
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 5: efforts in the region as well. Until President Biden manages

378
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: to restore deterrence, I think we're risking escalation continuing and

379
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 5: exactly the way we've seen it happen in these past weeks.

380
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: Okay, and the Biden White House obviously not led by

381
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: the best and brightest among us, and certainly not having

382
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: a spokesperson who is the best and brightest among us

383
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: Kree Jean Pierre. This was her reaction to the death

384
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: of the three service members.

385
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: What I will say, our deepest, obviously, our deepest condolences

386
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 4: go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the

387
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: families who lost three three brave, three brave, three brave

388
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: of three folks who are military, folks, who are brave,

389
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: who are are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf

390
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: and of this administration of the American people. Obviously, more

391
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: so more importantly, we lost those souls. Then let's not

392
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: forget there are wounded also wounded soldier military forces as well,

393
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: and our hearts go out to them, and so I

394
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 4: want to make sure that we offer up those deep, deep,

395
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: thoughtful condolences to them.

396
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: All Right, So she's getting dragged for stumbling around and

397
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 2: not being able to speak eloquently as she always does.

398
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: But Buck, this is part and parcel of every foreign

399
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: enemy of the United States taking advantage of Joe Biden's weakness.

400
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: Whether it was an Afghanistan where thirteen soldiers were killed

401
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: based on the incompetence of that withdrawal, now three dead here,

402
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: as you heard, Pompeo mentioned the two Navy seals who

403
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: also have lost their lives, many also seriously wounded from

404
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: these attacks. Where should we go from here? Because you

405
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: heard immediately Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, two different prominent United

406
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 2: States senators, immediately demand a massive retaliation on Iran, Biden

407
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: has said, oh, I've sent the message to Iran. They

408
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: know better than to mess with us. Clearly, that's not

409
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: the case. You've had a lot of experience in foreign

410
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 2: policy when you were with the CIA. I know nobody's

411
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: very confident on Joe Biden's judgment or decision making at

412
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: this point on any issue. But if you were advising

413
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: the president right now, based on what's publicly available in

414
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: terms of knowledge, what should we do?

415
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: It's tough because he's in a position where it's all cumulative. Right,

416
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: It's not one decision, it's what have all the decisions been.

417
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: You have to understand that Biden was not just Obama's VP,

418
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: but Obama's point guy. Believe it or not, This is

419
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 3: true on foreign policy matters, and not just in Ukraine

420
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: where the Biden family was getting payoffs, but also was

421
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: very much involved in policy at the highest level in

422
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: the Middle East and specifically with Iran. This isn't just history,

423
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 3: This is necessary context for what's going on. It was

424
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: the policy of the Obama administration, and it was the

425
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: policy therefore of Joe Biden and the people who work

426
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: with him and around him, that buying off Iran and

427
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: trying to pull them into the global community of nations

428
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: and taking a soft tone toward them would get better behavior.

429
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 3: That has failed. It has failed with every major every

430
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: major militia, and every major bad actor that the Iranian

431
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: support all throughout the Middle East. We see it in Yemen,

432
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: we see it in all of these different countries. We

433
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: see it in Syria, we see it with Hamas, with Hesbelah.

434
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: So it's a systemic failure. Clay is the point. The

435
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 3: Democrat Obama Biden foreign policy apparatus is a disaster. So, yeah,

436
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: is there one strike that could be done?

437
00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 5: Now?

438
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Is there one thing to solve this? No, there's not.

439
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: But they've been weakening the US hand in the Middle

440
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: East for many years, and so this is why there

441
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: is this term is overused, but there's an emboldening of

442
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 3: our enemies that occurs in places like what we just

443
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 3: saw here with this, with this drone strike. I mean,

444
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: what should the response now be I you know, Trump,

445
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 3: I know, was on what was the Truth over the

446
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: weekend saying we're at the precipice of World War three.

447
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: I do not think we're at the precipice of World

448
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: War three. I mean, I can't tell the future, and

449
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: it's theoretically possible. So I think that a pretty serious

450
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: strike against Iranian interests outside of Iranian soil would be

451
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: an appropriate response. We know where some of these militias

452
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: operate in Syria, we know. But I do understand the

453
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: concern that people have that this is how we get,

454
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: you know, stretched into things that we don't want to

455
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: be involved in an all at all. I mean, I

456
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: remember at Seapack years ago, it was like twenty twenty eighteen,

457
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, I was saying we should pull US troops

458
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: out of Syria entirely, like just just get out, and

459
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: you know we can. We have carriers in the Mediterranean,

460
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: we can hit things that we have to hit. I

461
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: don't think we should have the eight hundred or thousand

462
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: or whatever it is troops that are there. But I

463
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: think the most important thing to understand.

464
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: Is that the the Obama Democrat, Biden Democrat buy off Iran.

465
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: It's our fault that they're such bad actors. Approach, which

466
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: has been going on now for many, many years, is

467
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: an abject failure. Iranian behavior has been nothing but more bellicos.

468
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: They've gotten deeper and more entrench with these proxies that

469
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: they use, and this is just another example of that.

470
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: And you know you're going to have a I think

471
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: you're going to have a mitigated response by Biden because

472
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: it is an election year and he knows the last

473
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: thing anybody wants right now in this country, well I

474
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: should I shouldn't say last thing anybody wants. The last

475
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: thing same people want in this country right now is

476
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: some kind of escalation the Middle East that feels like

477
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: a ut the beginning of a US war.

478
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: There here's my concern, Buck, and this is just me

479
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: sitting back leave aside Biden's weaknesses and how it emboldens

480
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: our adversaries to take chances that they might not take

481
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: with past presidents. The more situations that could lead to

482
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: massive conflagrations, big eruptions that you create, the more danger

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: zones there are.

484
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Just think about it.

485
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: Right now in the Middle East, who knows what Putin's

486
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: going to do, Who knows what's going to happen on

487
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: the border with Ukraine and Russia. So Europe is unstable.

488
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: The Middle East, we all know, is incredibly unstable. Anything

489
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: could happen at any point in time. Our own southern

490
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: border with which you're gonna have to talk about today

491
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: during this show as well, with legitimate private citizens traveling

492
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: right now to try to secure the southern border, with

493
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: the possibility of National Guard and State Guard troops coming

494
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: into direct conflict in terms of what their objectives are.

495
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: And we just have China continuing to make threats on

496
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: the edges of Taiwan. So I would say right now,

497
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: if you are a just a casual American going about

498
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: your day to day life, I was saying off the air,

499
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: We've got four that we know of. It's not even

500
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: counting North Korea and South Korea, where tensions seem to

501
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: be elevating there. It's not counting what's going on between

502
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: Pakistan and Iran. It's not counting all these other smaller

503
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: geopolitical flashpoints that could become larger. Just right now, we

504
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 2: have buck four different situations that are on the razor's

505
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: edge between potentially elevating into more significant conflict potentially global

506
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: in nature, even more so than they already are. That

507
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: ain't good because any one of those somebody just makes

508
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: a miscalculation, somebody misjudges the motives of someone else, and

509
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 2: the next thing you know, we've got thousands of people

510
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: dead and a legitimate situation where a true world war

511
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: might occur. And for all the talk that the adults

512
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: are going to be back in charge, remember how often

513
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: World War three trended because of something that Trump did.

514
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: We had four years a pre damn good piece when

515
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was President of the United States, and Joe

516
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: Biden has gotten here, and at any moment you might

517
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: get an alert on your phone, you might turn on

518
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: television there's breaking news and there's a new war that

519
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: is starting that sooner or later, may get America even

520
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: more dragged in than we already are. I mean, I

521
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 2: got a friend you've met in buck who who works

522
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: in the military, and we had a conversation where and

523
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 2: least said, man, we're already a world war. It's just

524
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: how you decide to define it. When you've got war

525
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: going on in the Middle East, when you've got war

526
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: going on in Europe, when you've got North and South

527
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Korea in Asia staring each other down. We're at the

528
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: beginning stages of a world war already. It's just win

529
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: does that kind of spiral in and become a huge conflict.

530
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: And remember Russia, Iran and China are getting drawn closer

531
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: and closer together. It's a scary time. This is not

532
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: The adults are back in charge. Things are going to

533
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: get back to normal. And, by the way, the exact

534
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: opposite of a scary time. I watched football over the weekend.

535
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: I lost my prize picks. For those of you out there,

536
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: we finally lost. I'll have another one for you for

537
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, but our prize picks lost. The Chiefs won.

538
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: They advance to play against the forty nine Ers. Two

539
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: pretty entertaining games, engaging games, Buck, did you watch one

540
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: minute of either game of I watched the tennis matches.

541
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: I did not watch.

542
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: You did watch Center win the Australia, But did I did? Yes?

543
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: Came back from a two set deficit the German speaking

544
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 3: Italian Yannick Cinner.

545
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Yes, it was pretty amazing. I watched that, not one

546
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: minute of the football games. I did not see a

547
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: minute of the football games.

548
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: I would love to know what percentage of our audience

549
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: is with Buck and didn't see a minute. I'm not

550
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: saying you have to be a diehard football fan, but

551
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: you never walked through you know, your house, your husband,

552
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: your wife, your kids weren't watching. I would actually be

553
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: fascinated by that because I think sixty million people may

554
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: have watched. And obviously super Bowl's coming up, and if

555
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: you don't want to just have some fun, even if

556
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: you're not a diehard sports fan, trust me, you can

557
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: have some fun.

558
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, you knew the squares.

559
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: A lot of people go to Super Bowl parties and

560
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 2: you get to square see whether or not you could win.

561
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have different challenges, different little fun games. You

562
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: put five dollars down, ten dollars down, see if you

563
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: could win some money with just having the right picks.

580
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: at the US Mexico border continues, with the state of

581
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: Texas leading the way. Many other states now weigh in

582
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: to do everything that they can to try to be

583
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: supportive at least public supportive of the policies that Texas

584
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: as a state wants to implement. But I thought this

585
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: was so interesting, Clay, because this Wall Street General piece

586
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: given the changing, the rapidly changing economy that we're all

587
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: and I guess the economy probably changes rapidly all the time, right,

588
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: you just don't notice.

589
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: It day to day out.

590
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: But the four hundred thousand dollars job that doesn't require

591
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: a college degree, they break down Walmart store managers and

592
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: how they can earn up to four hundred and four

593
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year in total compensation four I mean

594
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: four hundred grand. There are surgeons at hospitals that are

595
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: making four hundred grand. I mean four hundred grand is

596
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: a lot of money. No, there are a lot of

597
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: doctors that make less than four hundred grand. Oh, definitely,

598
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: but I mean specialists like that. Yeah, people that are remember,

599
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 3: surgical residency is a whole other thing beyond you know,

600
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: your doctor standard doctor residency, and you got to do so.

601
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: The fact that you can make four hundred grand without

602
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: even going to get a college degree, I think increasingly

603
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: people are recognizing that the if everyone is going to

604
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: have the money to get a degree, and everybody has

605
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: a school to go to to get a four year

606
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: college degree, is it inherently a valuable thing. I think

607
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: increasingly the answer is no. I mean I could say

608
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: I was told this about very explicitly about business school,

609
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 3: like if you're going to go to business school, same

610
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: thing with law school. Everybody that I really knew said,

611
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: or everything that really knew the fields said, if you're

612
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: not going to go to a top ranked school, that's

613
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: going to really maybe open doors for you. It's not

614
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: worth it for just the degree. And I think that

615
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: college is increasingly in a situation that's more similar to

616
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: that for four year degrees. Not saying it's not worth

617
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: it for some people. I got one, you got one,

618
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: you and went on to get a JD. But I

619
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: think that the I just have to get a college

620
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: degree to get a job. You can always go back

621
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: later on too. It's a lot easier to go back

622
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: maybe get your degree.

623
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: At night.

624
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: We're already making three hundred grand managing a store or

625
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: how much did you say BUCkies guys can make?

626
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: You could?

627
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I love BUCkies. I've talked about

628
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: it on the show before I posted there you can

629
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: make a quarter million dollars managing the car wash at

630
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: a Buckets and to the four hundred thousand dollars at

631
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: Walmart as a store manager one. I mean the responsibility.

632
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: You probably have hundreds of employees that you are managing

633
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: at a Walmart store, but a lot of those Walmart's

634
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: are not in super expensive areas to live, So having

635
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: worked in retail, it doesn't surprise me at all. You

636
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: probably have to start at like eighteen or nineteen years

637
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: old in Walmart, you're probably starting off at the ground

638
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: level of retail and you're working your way all the

639
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: way up. That is your actual on the ground performance

640
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: is what is elevating you to becoming a manager. And

641
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: I can see, I mean, having worked in retail, A

642
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: really good manager makes a tremendous difference in terms of

643
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: the effectiveness and efficiency of a store. And I'll say

644
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: this buck we have. I don't own out Kick anymore,

645
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: but I think we're coming up on seventy five or

646
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 2: so employees. I'm the only people who I can even

647
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: name where they went to college are people that I

648
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 2: was friends with and talked about where they went to college.

649
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: At some point.

650
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: I am way more interested when we hire, certainly on

651
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: the content side, at what the work product is than

652
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: in any degree what their resume shows, because unless you

653
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: show me the work product, I have no idea whether

654
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 2: you can do a job at out Kick or not.

655
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: I don't care where you went to college, or where

656
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: you went to law school or where you went to

657
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: business school. That doesn't impact at all to me whether

658
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: you should be hired for the jobs that we do well.

659
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: I think the employment market is also becoming more efficient

660
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: insofar as you are paid for the value you bring

661
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: because businesses are more easily are more readily able to

662
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: assess that. You know, the old days memory, I mean,

663
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: I love I mean, I'm obsessed to this day with

664
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: the movie office space this. I'm just going to show

665
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: up soon in a cubicle. No one really even knows

666
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: what I do, and I just if I just kiss

667
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: butt enough, I'm going to get ahead.

668
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

669
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's still exists. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. Certainly,

670
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: it exists in bureaucracies and government. But increasingly, if you

671
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 3: can bring real value to a place, you can up

672
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: its commerce, you're gonna get You're gonna get paid. What

673
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: about Elon Musk, it means a great example. They fired

674
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of Twitter. Does it feel like it's

675
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 3: run any different to you than it was before? Some

676
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: people would argue, it's I think, way better better. Yeah,

677
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: but yes, seventy five percent of those employees. Elon Musk

678
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 3: just said, Hey, they don't need to be there. I

679
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: think you could probably without doubt fire half of all

680
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: federal employees and the organization would actually run better.

681
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the

682
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: Border folks, a lot going on there, and more updates

683
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: for you stick around
