1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 2: Buck. 4 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: I saw an interesting story over the weekend and it 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: ties in with the story that I'm going to talk 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: about here shortly, and it is we talked about positive 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the economy, great deal with the EU that appears to 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: be in place. Trump is over in Scotland right now. 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: I think he's still there. There has been, and he's 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: been meeting with the Prime Minister of Britain. 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: All of that going on. 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: Stock market again today hitting an all time high, or 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: at least it was up a bit, but basically stocks 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: at all time highs. Economy things are going very very well. 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Feels like the first six months of the Trump administration. 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: Now with the tax cuts embedded and with many of 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: the trade deals in place, that we're really prepared to 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: really kind of go on a next level splurge in growth, 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: particularly when the FED, and I say win the FED 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: inevitably finally gets around to agreeing to cut interest rates. 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: That's going to just add on more gas. We've talked 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: about the fact that the border is completely secure, more 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: so than it has ever been in the life of 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: anyone that is out there listening to us right now. 25 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: But also crime big article in I believe it was 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal over the weekend saying that we 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: are maybe in the New York Times one or the other, 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: that we are headed for potentially twenty first century crime lows. 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 2: And they were. 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: Saying, boy, we can't even figure out what's going on. 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: And they said, this is especially unbelievable because there's way 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: more guns now than have ever existed in the history 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: of the United States. This was one of the lines 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: in the article where liberals were trying to I think 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: it was a New York Times come to grips with 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: why violent crime notwithstanding the story we just told you 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, why violent crime is declining precipitously all over 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: the country in many different cities, will police are able 39 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: to do their jobs? But the article actually said, but 40 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: there's way more guns on the street than ever before. 41 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: It's not guns on the street that is the issue. 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: It's guns on the street in the hands of bad guys. 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: Guns on the street in the hands of good guys 44 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: can actually make us significantly safer. And there was an 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: awful story that happened over the weekend, and I was 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: thinking about it because I just was up in Traverse City, Michigan, 47 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: and I know many of you out there are traveling 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: northern Michigan. It's beautiful in the summer, and I appreciate 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: again the guys who had me up there for several days. 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: My wife's from Michigan. But this guy deserves a great 51 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: deal of credit. There was an awful story. Guy went 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: into a Walmart and just it sounds like is a 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: psychologically unstable, insane person that had been known to authorities 54 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: up there quite a long time. I believe, stabbed eleven 55 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: people in a Traverse City, Michigan area walmart and then 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: in the outside in the parking lot. The stabbing suspect 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: was restrained by several people in the parking lot, including 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: a guy named Derek Perry, who is a former marine. 59 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: I know marines out there say they're never a former marine, 60 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: but was in the Armed Services, and he had a 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: gun on him, and he pulled that gun out and 62 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: restrained this crazy person ended the attacks. And we don't 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: know what motivation this crazy person was acting under, but 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I do think that people like this who are heroes 65 00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: and stop evildoers perpetrators of violence, deserve to become famous 66 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: in a way that the serial attacker who desires fame 67 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: does not. We try to avoid sharing those people's names. 68 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: But on the flip side, this is an example of 69 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: somebody who saw violent act happening. We were saying in Cincinnati, 70 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: most people weren't doing anything. Here in Traverse City, this guy, 71 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Derek Perry, pulled out his gun and stopped this attack 72 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: from continuing. And I do think we can spend a 73 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: little bit of time here saying hey, we're letting police 74 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: do their jobs again, and also good citizens out there. 75 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: There does seem to be a positive momentum overall in 76 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: declining the amount of violent crime that is occurring all 77 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: over the country. 78 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: Everybody is safer when a good citizen has a firearm, 79 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: who knows how to use it, who was a lawful carrier. 80 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: This is an I appendix carry sometimes down here in Miami. 81 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: I should do it really all the time, but it's 82 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: tough because there's not a lot of room to I'm 83 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: just being honest, not a lot of room to conceal carry. 84 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: So this is why my my brother You see my 85 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: brother Mason, and he's got a fanny pack on. He's 86 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: not carrying lip gloss and the fanny pack that I 87 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: could tell you. You know, there's a very good way 88 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: to conceal carry down here. Uh so, or I'm not 89 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: lip class, you know what I mean. I mean chapstick, 90 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: lip closs, if yellow, other kind of thing. 91 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: It's Miami, it's Miami. There's not there's anything wrong with that, 92 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, not that I'm just saying it's different kind 93 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: of stuff. 94 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, concealed carry in a fanny, fanny pack, fanny pouch, 95 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. I think there's different 96 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: names for it's a very good way to do it. 97 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: My point merely being that everyone around you is safer 98 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: when a good, law abiding citizen is carrying. And we 99 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: see this play out over and over and over again. 100 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: So much of the objection to firearms from the left 101 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: and the Democrats is really just it's actually philosophical. It 102 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 2: has almost nothing to do with crime. Uh there's a 103 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: cultural level and a political philosophical level. The left opposes 104 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: citizens being armed because culturally they think of guns as 105 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: belonging to the bad people, not the bad people. Bad people, right, 106 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: the bad people might be criminals, No no, no, I mean 107 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: bad people like they don't like them Trump voters, people 108 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: that are proud to be in red states. People that 109 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: don't agree with them on abortion or don't agree with 110 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: them on immigration tend to have guns. Right, So there's 111 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: just this culture it's just a culture war issue. If 112 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: somebody sits down with me, Clay and they say, oh, hey, 113 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: I saw a video of you, you and your brothers 114 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: roll out at the range last week, and that's awesome, 115 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: I'd I'd love to come sometime. The chance that I'm 116 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: going to agree with them on a whole lot of 117 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: other things in life is like ninety five percent, but 118 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: it's very high, it's not one hundred percent. So that 119 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: on one level, on one level, that that's an issue, 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: or that's how that the issue goes. And then in 121 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,119 Speaker 2: a political philosophical issue, I mean, every fire arm in 122 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: an individual citizens' hands is a reminder to the state 123 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: that there's a little personal act of rebellion going on here, 124 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: like there is a line at which the state cannot 125 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: and shall not cross. And that's a very foundational philosophical difference. 126 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: The left, Democrats, socialists, they want the state to be 127 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: able to just flip a switch as we saw during 128 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: COVID and have absolute and total control over you to 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: include life and death. They want that control and power 130 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: over you. And when you have an armed populist, when 131 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: you have an armed citizenry, that's a very different calculation. 132 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: I thought you would appreciate this too. It was the 133 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: New York Times which explains this being the headline. After 134 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: surge during pandemic, homicides fall significantly. What they have tried 135 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: to do is not connect the BLM anti police movement 136 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: with the surgeon crome, because, as we point out on 137 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: this show, the surgeon crime didn't happen until May of 138 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, when suddenly every cop was a bad guy. 139 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: They couldn't even put cops on television shows, and we 140 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: started hearing, hey, maybe we should replace the police with 141 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: domestic you know, domestic workers or whatever it is. The 142 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: social workers, domestic violence scenes don't need police officers. So 143 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: they're still trying to say, oh, this all happened because 144 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: of COVID, but now homicides are coming back massively, and 145 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: I think it's quite clearly because cops are able to 146 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: do their jobs again. And again, this is not a 147 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent representative survey, but this year, for instance, 148 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: Chicago's murder rate is down thirty three percent compared to 149 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: last year, Saint Louis twenty two percent, Baltimore twenty four percent, 150 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: Denver down forty percent. And these things are happening in 151 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: most cities nationwide now. And I just think it's interesting 152 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: because the talk had been, oh, police are awful, police 153 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: are awful, and as soon as you let police start 154 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: to do their jobs again, then oh, my goodness, guess 155 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: what happens. And so anyway, I do think that's yet 156 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: another positive that isn't getting very much attention. I don't 157 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: think it's coincidental that Trump has come into office that 158 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: he has said, Hey, cops, let's get bad guys off 159 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: the street, let's keep violent perpetrators behind bars, and let's 160 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: get all these illegal Did you see the stat I 161 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: think it got CBS dunked on. There was report, Hey, 162 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Trump has only deported seven hundred and something murders, and 163 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: people are like, only murder's pretty rare. Like if you 164 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: can kick seven hundred illegals who are guilty of murder 165 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: out of the country, the violent crime rates can start 166 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: to improve. Now they're still too high all of those things. 167 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: But I did think, again, economy, border crime, when you 168 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: look at the data. I don't know that very many 169 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: people are talking about this. I think the FBI deserves credit. 170 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: I think the Trump administration deserves credit. If twenty twenty five, 171 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: if we are going to set potentially twenty first century 172 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: lows and murder, that's a very good thing. And I 173 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: think it's largely because police are being able to do 174 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: their jobs. And I think also guys like Derek Perry 175 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: who have weapons and see bad things happening and decide, hey, 176 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to stop this, they deserve credit for helping 177 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: to create a culture that is the opposite of the 178 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: culture of hey, let me just get my phone and 179 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: take a video of a random guy committing an act 180 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: of violence. 181 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: That's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to 182 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: try to stop it in any way. Yes, Well, again, 183 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: the way the media covers this is always aligned with 184 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: their ideological position against guns, so they try to downpla 185 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: the fact that there are so many instances of defensive 186 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: or even good Samaritan firearms. Use firearms, you know, sometimes 187 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: you don't even have to shoot, you just have to 188 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: have the gun, right, you can hold the gun on somebody, 189 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 2: you can, you know, prevent the shooting or the stabbing 190 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: from continuing. So it's the evidence on this is very clear. 191 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: But that's why clay I mentioned the philosophical points. It's 192 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: not about what the crime numbers are because there's no 193 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: argument to be made. Gang bangers don't care how much 194 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: you hate gun. They're gonna find a way to get guns. 195 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: There's hundreds of millions of guns in circulation this country. 196 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: They're gonna have guns no matter what. You're not stopping 197 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: the gang members by saying we're gonna. 198 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: Make it extra super special illegal. If you get a 199 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: gun now, we're gonna limit your magazines. We're gonna get 200 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: rid of ar fifteens that have scary appendages on them 201 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: or you know that have That is that is about 202 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 3: gun lawful gun owners sticking your thumb in their eye 203 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: as the kamis. 204 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: That is what. It has nothing to do with actually 205 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: limiting crime, because it never works. If it was about that, 206 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: Eventually they would recognize that their policies or failures it 207 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: Once you understand that the opposition to guns is not 208 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: about it's not about gun violence, it's not about gun 209 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: crime unless you're just a complete ignoramis it works with 210 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 2: the ignoramises. But the people that actually understand this argument 211 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: and know the numbers will tell you, oh, no, those 212 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: who are running these places, these different NGOs, and you 213 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 2: know the Democrat apparatus that is trying to constantly pass 214 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: more gun laws, as if we don't have enough gun laws. 215 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: It's always about I don't like the people who own guns, 216 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: and I want the state to have more control. It's 217 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: so it's a philosophical thing. They use the crime thing 218 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: as a as a as a means of mobilizing the 219 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: gun grabbers out there. So I just I have no 220 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: tolerance for it. I find it the people it's out 221 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: also an issue, by the way, where the the Democrat 222 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: media doesn't feel that the least been embarrassed for knowing 223 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. This is where the chainsaw bayonet thing came. 224 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: Remember that on USA today, have you seen this AR 225 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: fifteen could be fitted with a chainsaw bayonet. And then, 226 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 2: of course chainsaw bayonets totally sold out because it's such 227 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: a fun novelty item, like no one, no one's breaking 228 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: into a liquor store, like give me all your money 229 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: or I'll get you with my chainsaw bayonet. But they're 230 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: they're idiots on the subject. They don't care because it's 231 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: about they don't like the people that have the guns, 232 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: and so that's I always try to explain this to 233 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: people in that way, so then then it all makes sense. 234 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: Then you get that Clay and I can sit here 235 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: all day and talk about the good guys with guns 236 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: and all the good things that happened from a society 237 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: with law abiding gun owners. They don't care. They want 238 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: to control you. It's a means of control, and they 239 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: want to separate people based on whether they support guns 240 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: or not. So the gun people are bad people. That's it. 241 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: That's as simple as it is for them. Everything else 242 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: is just noise and make believe with the statistics. Let's 243 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: talk about saving lives another way. Preborn. Preborn is doing 244 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: incredible work day in and day out. Their individual actions 245 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: as an organization led to sixty seven thousand children being 246 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: brought into this world last year alone. The team operating 247 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: the Preborn clinics nationwide provide pregnant mothers with support and 248 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: assistance as they choose life for their precious unborn baby. 249 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: And the way that Preborn starts this process off is 250 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: by providing the gift of an ultrasound. It's not a 251 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: trick or a gimmick, most honest and vulnerable experience they 252 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: can provide at no cost. That free ultrasound lets that 253 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: mom meet her unborn child in the womb. Here the heartbeat, 254 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: see the tiny movements within her, and so often that's 255 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: the turning point that mine realizes I have to give 256 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: life to this child. This is my baby. But they 257 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: need your help. Preborn needs your help to be able 258 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: to do this. Twenty eight dollars per ultrasound is the expense. 259 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: They have twenty eight dollars and they can bring in 260 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: a mom and give her that free ultrasound. Preborn operates 261 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: these clinics nationwide in places where abortion rates are highest, 262 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: so they can be on the front lines and save 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: as many babies as possible. So please consider a donation today, 264 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: and honestly, if you can doing monthly recurrent donation, you 265 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: can set it up easily at the website. Monthly recurring 266 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: donation of twenty eight dollars would mean so much. Every 267 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: month you would be providing that ultrasound to a mom 268 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: who is making that critical decision.

I believe this isn't 292 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 6: the wake of that. I think this one day, if 293 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 6: not today, the people at CBS who have manipulated and 294 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 6: handled handled this are going to be embarrassed because this 295 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 6: is this is gutlass. 296 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: Is this a business or a charity that they're running 297 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: over on these places?

It all comes down to, look, 305 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: CBS News would have, in paramount, would have continued to 306 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: pay Stephen Colbert a ton of money forever if he 307 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: made them forty million dollars a year. 308 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: That's the reality. 309 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: This is just a dollars and cents decision and the idea.

And then the thing 344 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: that really got popular was hey, really obese people in spandex, Like, hey, 345 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: you should wear spandex and be really happy with your 346 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: body even if you were three hundred pounds. 347 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: It was like, well, I don't know how I feel 348 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: about all this. 349 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: There's really a revolution, I would say against those ads 350 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: because buy and Marge they didn't work. And I talked 351 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: about this on Friday Buck. One of the best jobs 352 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: I ever had, maybe the most fun job I ever had, 353 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: was making four dollars and fifty cents an hour working 354 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: at the American Eagle Rivergate Mall Goodlettsville, Tennessee when I 355 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: was in high school. And American Eagle stock has been 356 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: not good for much of the last five years, and 357 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at it. It's a very 358 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: popular retail chain, and they decided, hey, we've got to 359 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: change our overall mojo and they said, we're going to 360 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 1: hire Sidney Sweeney. And Sidney Sweeney is now doing ads 361 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: for American Eagle that I think it's fair to say 362 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: are sexy in nature, and in general it's going to 363 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: shock some of you. 364 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: I think, how do you say it? It is fair 365 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: to say it is a little sexy for Sydney Sweeney. 366 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well, some people don't know who Sidney Sweeney is, 367 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: but and I understand that in the audience. But the 368 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: idea being that in general she's Buxom Buxom would be 369 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: Buxhom last, Buxom last for sure. That in general, one 370 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: way that products sell themselves is by putting pretty girls 371 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: in the product and deciding that people will want to 372 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: buy products that pretty girls are trying to sell. 373 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 2: And this has been a trend for a very very 374 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: long time. 375 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: And so this ad is up and what I would 376 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: call is the sort of fat, noseringed, pink haired contingent 377 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: of the world out there is angry that brands are 378 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: going back to good looking girls, and this has gone viral. 379 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: One of these left wingers, I want to play this 380 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: for you, Buck says that the American Eagle ad of 381 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney is Nazi propaganda. 382 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 7: Listen, should we be surprised that a company whose name 383 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 7: is literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this? 384 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 7: Probably not, but it's still really shocking. Like a blonde haired, blue, 385 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 7: two eyed white woman is talking about her good gens 386 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 7: like that is Nazi propaganda. 387 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: Nazi propaganda. Not a cute girl in jeans talking about 388 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: her good jeens is Nazi propaganda, according to the left. Now, 389 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned this, I think on Friday Book. I don't 390 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: know how you've ever been influenced by advertising involving attractive women. 391 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: I think the most direct result ever. And my wife 392 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: still makes fun of me about this. I watched the 393 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: Victorious Secret Fashion Calendar Show or whatever that thing's called. 394 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: They do like a Christmas spectacus, I've heard they do 395 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: like a Christmas spectacular, bunch of girls in lingerie. I 396 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: watched it, went out, bought like two hundred dollars in 397 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: lingerie for my wife maybe the next day. I mean, 398 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: I just went and bought everything and I was like, 399 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm a stooge, but this worked on me. I'm gonna 400 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 1: go get everything boom, bring it back all right. So 401 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: I can't speak for all men, but in general, I 402 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: would say that men are influenced by attractive women trying 403 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: to get them to buy things. But Nazi propaganda and 404 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: the question I asked, and I would love to know 405 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: a lot of this. Are the same people who were 406 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: putting fat women into spandex and saying like, you're healthy, 407 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: even though obviously if you're super obese you're not healthy, 408 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: like you should lose weight. Are those the same people 409 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: do you think making the ads now and they just 410 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: recognize that the cultural wins have shifted, or do you 411 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: think these companies fired the people who did such an 412 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: awful job doing I mean, Victoria's Secret's a perfect example 413 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: of this. They were like, we're gonna do away with 414 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: supermodels and just put our product on regular people. And 415 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: people are like, this is not you know, like I 416 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: don't want to know what I'm going to look like. 417 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: I want to pretend that I'm gonna way better, Like 418 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't buy I don't buy a bathing suit and think, oh, 419 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to look as good as the guy who's 420 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: in the bathing suit ad. But I definitely don't want 421 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: to look like nobody's going to buy an ad if 422 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm in the bathings I'm in the bathing suit ad Like. 423 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: This is not a way to sell products. I think 424 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 2: that the people who were doing the ads before in 425 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: many cases are the ones who now have shifted with 426 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: the wind. That would be my just same people. 427 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: They just completely they've made principles like the Yeah, I 428 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: mean you see this with a lot of people in 429 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: the in the corporate on the corporate side of things, 430 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: they just whichever way the wind is blowing is how 431 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: they're going to as how they're going to go. 432 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: And I think that this was pretty inevitable. There is 433 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: a part of this as well that maybe doesn't get 434 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: as much attention or focus, but the whole body positivity thing. Yeah, 435 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: as people become more and more health focused, and I 436 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: really mean that in the broadest term health focus, but 437 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: learn more about this stuff, and also as the tool 438 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: to improve your health dramatically, not to wait until you're sick, 439 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 2: not to you know, this is not about you know, 440 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: the thing you take when you already have the condition, 441 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: so much as its ways to get yourself into a 442 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 2: better day to day health and have more energy and 443 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 2: all this, and the most notable one is the GLP ones. 444 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a revolution in health. I know 445 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: lots of people who have taken them with you know, 446 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 2: I'm not doing an ad for them right now, but 447 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: with incredible results. I am personally a believer in peptides 448 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: for the future, for longevity for a whole rate. Now 449 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: peptides a branch chan amino acid. That's a whole range 450 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: of things. But this whole range, what I'm saying is 451 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: the idea that you could be morbidly obese and should 452 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: be proud of. That is very similar to the idea 453 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: that you could be so anorexic that your you know, 454 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: your central nervous system could shut down and people would 455 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 2: be like, oh, yeah, look at how skinny you are. Right, 456 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: I mean this, it's deeply unhealthy, and more and more 457 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 2: people I think have realized this. I don't mean it's 458 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: unhealthy like you don't look sexy in a bikini. That's 459 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 2: a whole other universe of thinking or whole other perspective 460 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: on it. It is you are heading toward a shortened 461 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: lifespan less mobility, less energy, poor sleep, type two diabetes, 462 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 2: heart all this stuff. So I think body positivity more 463 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: has also play run into not just a cultural pushback 464 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: on this madness, but also science. Yeah, the science, you 465 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 2: could say, I think people are seeing this more and more. 466 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: It's also why I would note, and this is a 467 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: really positive thing. Binge drinking in the culture has really 468 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: gone down substantially. There's a lot of data to support this. 469 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: Drinking in general is on a decline. You know, excessive drinking. 470 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 2: I'mlen to talk about having a glass of wine or 471 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: two with dinner, but drinking as a form of almost 472 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: sport to excess because it is horrible for you. And 473 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: if you want to be healthy and you want to 474 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 2: feel good, drinking so much that you wake up the 475 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: next day with a hangover on a regular basis is 476 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: essentially throwing a hole. It is throwing a wrench into 477 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: all of your plans. So I think that this is 478 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: a pretty seismic shift. And yes, hot chicks are a 479 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: part of it. That is also true. There's going to 480 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: be more of a focus on the aspirational side of beauty, 481 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: and because if everybody is physically beautiful, then like nobody's 482 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: physically beautiful, right, I mean, we're all doing the best 483 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: of what we got. Very few of us win the 484 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: genetics lottery the way that the Victoria's Secret Models do. 485 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that we all just give up. 486 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: And you know the side that we're going to go to, 487 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: the Rosi o'donald route. You know, it can be a 488 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: little more. You can put a little more thought into 489 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: your health, into your appearance, into all of those things. 490 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: Aspiring to be healthier and stronger and all of those things, 491 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: I would argue is one of the most important things. 492 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 1: That young men and young women can be tough. And 493 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you're gonna, to Buck's point, look 494 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: like a Victoria's Secret Supermodel if you're a woman, or 495 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna look like Superman if you're a guy. But 496 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: getting in the gym and trying to get stronger is 497 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: a really good thing. And I do think that younger 498 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: people are cognizant of this, and there are some negatives. 499 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: Because I'm raising three young boys, there are some negatives. 500 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: I think that their society is embracing that are different 501 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: than prior generations. You know, there is a benefit to 502 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: taking risk a lot of kids today, for instance, don't 503 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: want to get driver's license. They're happy to just stay 504 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: on their phones as opposed to going out on dates 505 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: or going out. 506 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: You know. 507 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: I think that's having an impact across the board. But 508 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: it is true, like my kids, when they see someone 509 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: smoking a cigarette, they react like someone is shooting As 510 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: young kids, they would react like someone was shooting up Heroin. 511 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: I grew up in an era when somebody's mom always 512 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: was smoking cigarettes in the car with the windows all 513 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: rolled up, and you know, you were always like trying 514 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: to just get a breath and it's cold outside, and 515 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, the whole car is just filled with smoke. Heck, 516 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: I remember you know this certainly, Remember when every bar 517 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: you went to there was just a cloud of smoke everywhere. 518 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: Remember when they had smoking sections and restaurants and that 519 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: was a laugh because the smoke just went everywhere. You 520 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: go into a bar now and there's nobody smoking. I mean, 521 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: there are a lot of decisions that have been made 522 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: that I think are beneficial, and I think to your point, 523 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: young kids are not using drugs now. One downside is 524 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: they're actually using marijuana, which is much stronger at levels 525 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: that are somewhat high, and that is maybe more destructive 526 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: than using alcohol would be on some levels, because the 527 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: marijuana kids are using today is much stronger than the 528 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: marijuana that would have existed to twenty five or thirty 529 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: years ago. And our friend Alex Berenson has wrote a 530 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: whole piece about how destructive that can be. I think 531 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: we kind of sold the idea that pot is not dangerous, 532 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: and the frequent use of pot is actually incredibly dangerous. 533 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: So there's one of the areas of public policy where 534 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: I will admit I was. I was. I think it's 535 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: very rare for me to be bamboozled. But on the 536 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: it's no big deal, we legalize it, no big problem 537 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 2: I have. I am very much in the other direction. 538 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: I don't think people should obviously get locked up or 539 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: something for smoking weed, But this notion that we should 540 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: just allow it, it's everywhere. It's a it's a total 541 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: mess in New York City. Now, you walk down the 542 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: street and I'm walking down the street with my baby 543 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: and people are blowing marijuana smoke in our faces all that. 544 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: It's disgusting. It's just digusting. 545 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: It feels to me almost like marijuana smoking is more 546 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: common than cigarette smoking. 547 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, we just certainly I smell marijuana in New 548 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: York City. I was just there more frequently than I 549 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: smell cigarette smoke. That is a true statement walking around midtown. 550 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: And it is not harmless. It is very bad for 551 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: your mental health. There's a lot of stuff. But we 552 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 2: were all, we were live. We were told it was 553 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: all about getting people, you know, treatment for their glaucoma, 554 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: to help with their pain. It was all gonna be. 555 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: It was going to pay for all the schools. Right. No, 556 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 2: because when you tax a lot of weed is so 557 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 2: easy to make or so he's to grow rather that 558 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: when you tax it heavily, you just the black market 559 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: just grows even more because people want to just get it. 560 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: They don't want to pay these higher prices. 561 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: So well, positive is good looking. Advertisements are back, which 562 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: I think is just a repudiation of the woke era. 563 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: Maybe some of you disagree. I don't think so, but 564 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 1: eight hundred and two A two two eight A two, 565 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: UH will take your calls.

And that's one of the 570 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: things the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does such 571 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: an important job of They build bomb shelters, They help 572 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: to ensure that people are able to survive attacks there. 573 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: Your gift will help place new bomb shelters across the country, 574 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: along with necessary supplies for existing bomb shelters.

We still have 591 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: hostages being held, but you have children that need to 592 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: get food, and there's a lot of attention being paid 593 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: to this by the global media. Palaes Indian children need 594 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: to get food. Israeli hostages should have been released two 595 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: years ago, and well they should have never been taken, 596 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: of course, but it's been two years. They still have 597 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: twenty hostages. So we have some of those details that 598 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 2: I want to get into.

And there 642 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: are tons of kids out there that I think would 643 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: be responsive to what we say.

Bill North Carolina hit it. 648 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 5: I've worked both on the ad agency side and the 649 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 5: corporate side, and I can tell you the people who 650 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 5: made the switch to beautiful women, the decision was made 651 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 5: by the corporate people. They fired the old agency, hired 652 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 5: a new agency just to keep their jobs. That's how 653 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 5: it worked. 654 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I agree with that, the agency versus 655 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: corporate side. You know, I think the people making the 656 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 2: decisions probably realized beautiful women actually sell genes, actually sell 657 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 2: anything that you need them to sell in an ad 658 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: This has been known for all of human history so yeah,
