1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Welcome in, Happy and Thankful Veterans Day to so many 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: people out there. As we begin the Tuesday edition of 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: the program, President Trump live at Arlington National Cemetery right now, 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: speaking in honor of so many of the veterans out there. 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: We have a couple of veterans that are going to 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: be on the program with us today, David Rutherford, who 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: is a part of the podcast Network, and Dakota Meyer. 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: Should be really great stories from those guys. 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: Dave Brutherford a former Navy seal with combat tours and 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient. 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, Veterans Day. Yeah, kind of kind of badasses. 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: So we will talk about that quite a lot. We'll 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: take some of your calls, some of your stories as well. 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: The shutdown is officially over, Buck to the extent that well, 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: I say officially over, We've got to have the how 16 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: also ratify the fact that the shutdown is over, but 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: officially the Senate yesterday sixty senators said this is ludicrous, 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: including eight different Democrats, and the meltdown is pretty fun 19 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: to watch. We will dive into that meltdown with all 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: of you. As Chuck Schumer is now taking fire in 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: basically every direction, because so many people are asking what 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: was actually achieved here and what was the decision that 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: was made. The House is going to vote to lift 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the shutdown as well. Buck we had last night, I 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: was one of the guests at a big fundraiser for 26 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: Senator Haggerty, who's going to be re elected to the 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: Senate next year from Tennessee, and he wasn't able to 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: attend his own fundraiser because he was back in Washington, 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: DC getting the government back open on the side of 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: the Senate. So thanks to the governor of Tennessee for 31 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: hosting that fundraising event that we had yesterday, but kind 32 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: of giving you a sense of what's going on. Basically, 33 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: every Senator had to be all hands on deck to 34 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: get to sixty so that they could officially end the shutdown, 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: including eight Democrats. The House, my understanding, is going to 36 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: vote tomorrow to lift the shutdown, and hopefully at that 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: point in time, some of the chaos that we're seeing 38 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: with air traffic control, with TSA, with many different aspects 39 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: of the federal government will go to the be tossed 40 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: to the side. But again, there is no actual resolution 41 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: here that made any sense at all. We had the 42 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: longest shutdown in our nation's history forty days, and the 43 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: actual impact, Buck was negligible. Nothing changed at all. So 44 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: let's go and have some fun. Actually, on this Veteran's Day, 45 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: I was scrolling through and our team did a good 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: job of getting some of the reactions that are pouring 47 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: in on the Democrats side, as they are absolutely furious 48 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: over Chuck Schumer and the Democrats bending the knee, and 49 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: I grabbed several of these. First of all, David Axelrod, 50 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: what is the most lasting impact going to be from 51 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: the shutdown? Buck? I think it's very likely going to 52 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: be that Chuck Schumer is in many ways essentially done 53 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: as the minority leader in the Senate, and David Axelrod 54 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: said as much, he's likely cooked as the Democrat leader. 55 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: This is cut five. You know that. Do you think the. 56 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: Schumer could be in trouble here with the left flank 57 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: of the party. 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: I think he's been in trouble. I think he is 59 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: in bigger trouble now. I honestly, I think Cener Schumer's 60 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: been there since nineteen eighty two. My guess is that 61 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: he won't be leader of the party in two thousand 62 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: and twenty seven after the selection. Unless it's something really surprising, you. 63 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Don't buy it, Buck, you think he's gonna be back, 64 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: or you just don't think they have anybody else that 65 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: wants to step into the fray and actually take the 66 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: slings and arrows. 67 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: This is the game, Come on, how many times I'll 68 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: put it to you this way. One of the ways 69 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: that I think you can often objectively assess the other 70 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: side is looking at a similar dynamic on your own side. 71 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: How many years. 72 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: Have we all sat around on the right as Republicans 73 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: been like Mitch McConnell's rhino, Mitch McConnell's you know, he 74 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: doesn't represent, and yet Mitch McConnell's got the checkbook, he's 75 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: got the donor network, he's got the power, and everybody 76 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: falls in line. Now that is changing, But it's changing 77 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: because Mitch is basically not you know, he's non functional 78 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: at this point. 79 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: It's just pure age. He's aging out of that role. 80 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 5: Right. 81 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: There's no similar situation to my mind with Schumer. Now, 82 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 2: if Schumer were up in the next year, maybe he 83 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 2: would have Clay. By the time he's up in twenty eight, 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: everyone's gonna be focused on something else, namely the presidential election, 85 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: the future of the party, all this other stuff, and 86 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: Schumer's gonna play the on the steady hand. 87 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: I know this game. 88 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: You know, the president gets to be the next generation 89 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: of Democrat leadership. He needs somebody like Chuck Schumer. So 90 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you I don't buy this at all. 91 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: But Axelrod is smart insofar as this is what the 92 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: left wing of the Democrat base wants to hear right now. 93 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: They want to hear that Chuck is going to be 94 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: pushed out and blah blah blah. There are a bunch 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: of data money. 96 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: How quickly we went from the Republicans are going to 97 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: have to deal with an immense civil war inside of 98 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: their own party. Oh, I don't know last week to 99 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: this week being their major issues now on the in 100 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat side, I think one of the things I'm 101 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: gonna play a couple of cuts here from Chuck Schumer 102 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: just how unpopular he is. But I think one of 103 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: the biggest things we're dealing with, Buck is there's a 104 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: profound anger that is out there in America right now. 105 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you buy into this. I 106 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: think it's a lingering aftershock of COVID. I think there's 107 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: just and I think social media exacerbates it. I think 108 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: there's just a lot of angry people. And the question 109 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: is it reminds me. I know, you were a lost 110 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: viewer back in the day. You know, the smoke monster 111 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: just shows up and you want to try to avoid 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: being the target of the smoke monster. On any given day, 113 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: it feels like there's just a shifting cloud of anger. 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: Or we could go Ghostbusters to the gou when everybody 115 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: was getting the gu was just angry. I feel like 116 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: that characterizes America today. I like the eye of sour on. 117 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: You know, you put that ring on and whatever sour 118 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: you know, then you have the eye it all of 119 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: a sudden, it's actually not called the eye of sour on. 120 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: One of you, Bloord of the rings nerves, is gonna 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: yell at me for it. But it's you know, it's base. 122 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: That's basically what it is. Uh, the the you know, 123 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: the big scary fire eye that looks at people. Yes, 124 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 2: I think there's I think there's true to that play. 125 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: And remember a lot of this is the game of 126 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: making people who are very upset upset at the right 127 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: at the right, people, this is what this is where 128 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: this so what you want is you want an energized 129 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: left wing base going into this mid term. Chuck Schumer 130 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: and the old system man, they're gonna have to stand aside. 131 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: It's going to be the radicals and the revolutionaries the 132 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: Democrat Party who are going to change all these things 133 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: for you, and you get them to vote, and then 134 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is still in charge. This is the whole game, right, 135 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: This is the way they're going to play this. I 136 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: think that's also why I've got to say Gavin Newsom, 137 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: he sees this too. We've talked about how he's the 138 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: likely uh well we we think we're predicting he's a 139 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: likely Democrat nominee. He'll play this game. He'll be He'll 140 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: be mister, you know, I ran the biggest state in 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: the country, fifth largest economy in the world, and I'm 142 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: so damn handsome. But if he has to have AOC 143 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: as his vice president, he'll do that, right, If he 144 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: has to bring in the left to make them feel 145 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: like they have a seat at the table, and this 146 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: is the whole situation, this is the way it's gonna go. 147 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: So I don't I don't buy this at all about 148 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: how Schumer is Dawn. 149 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: He's cooked is. 150 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 2: The term that everyone likes to use for these things. Now, 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: Schumer is a wiley He's a wiley character. Man. That 152 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: guy's been hey, he's been in the game as long 153 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: as I've been alive. He's been a senator. 154 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: It's true. Look, Harry Inton, I will say on CNN 155 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: says that Chuck Schumer is the least popular Democrat Senate 156 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: leader ever, and then we'll have some fun with him 157 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: compared to AOC but cut thirteen. Listen to this on CNN. 158 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: What about Democrats nationwide feeling about Chuck Schumer. I think 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: the word of the day is terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, 160 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: to quote another Charles Barkley, when it comes to Chuck Schumer. 161 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: Look at this least popular dem Senate leader ever. I 162 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: looked at all of the polls going all the way 163 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: back since nineteen hundred and eighty five. The one was 164 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: the lowest rating among Democrats is in fact Chuck Schumer. 165 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 3: Look at this, He's underwater with Democrats, his own party. 166 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 3: He's underwater. He's at minus four points. That makes him 167 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: the least popular guy for a Demson leader going all 168 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: the way back since the mid nineteen eighties, at least. 169 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: Here's the other part on this, Buck, I do think. 170 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: I know we talked about this yesterday, and I got 171 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: the year wrong because it's been talked about so much. 172 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: I thought that Schumer was up in twenty six, actually 173 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: twenty eight. His best benefit, I think is that AOC 174 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: may not want to be the Senator. I think she 175 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: may well run for president, and it's hard to run 176 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: for both. But listen to how much more popular AOC 177 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: is in net favorability among New York Democrats. I think 178 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: if she announced Buck that she was going to run, 179 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: I think Schumer would announce he wasn't going to run, 180 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: because I don't think there's any way he could win 181 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: a Democrat primary against her. I think it would be 182 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: somewhat similar to what we saw happen with Cuomo going 183 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: up against Mom Donnie, except AOC would start way more 184 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: popular than Cuomo did, and certainly sorry, way more popular 185 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: than Mom Donnie. Is cut fourteen, giving you a sense 186 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: of just how underwater Schumer is in New York. 187 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 6: How do New York State democrats feel about Chuck Schumer? 188 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 6: And take a look here the net favorable among New 189 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 6: York Democrats. Chuck Schumer is above water with the Democrats 190 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 6: in his home state, but just by sixteen points. Look 191 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 6: at Alexandria Costukretz running way ahead. If she decides to 192 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 6: challenge Chuck Schumer come twenty twenty eight, she's got a 193 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 6: real leg up on the competition. I dare say at 194 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 6: this point she would be the favorite to beat him, 195 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 6: which would be something that would just blow my mind 196 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 6: even just a few years ago, giving the Chuck Schumer, 197 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 6: of course, is a New York born brand type of guy. 198 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that those are incredible. 199 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: Look at thirty points ahead, My goodness, gracious. 200 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: So the question Buck, I think is does AOC want 201 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: to be in the Senate or not? Because I think 202 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be hard for Schumer to win a 203 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: Democrat primary against someone of the left like AOC. 204 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: Well, see, it would be hard if the election we're now, Clay, 205 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: this is an eternity we're talking about here, twenty twenty 206 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: eight cycle. Remember it's going to be a presidential election 207 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: year we don't even know, and you're talking about AOC 208 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: at running agains Schumer. She's going to run for president. 209 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: So I don't I think we see that the same 210 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: way she's gonna run for president. So he's not going 211 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: to have a Democrat, you know, a Democrat. 212 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Challenge now like her. Now, one thing to keep in mind, 213 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: we'll get an early preview of this. There is a 214 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: report that Hakeem Jeffries is going to get challenged by 215 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: a leftist in the House next year. Hakim Jeffries obviously 216 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: the House Minority leader. We have two New York City 217 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: guys that are basically running the Democrat Party in the 218 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: Congress right now, and so that will give you an 219 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: idea about the energy there and whether there's any opportunity 220 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: to topple leadership like we already saw Mom Donnie do. 221 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: This is one of Mom Donnie's top assistants, a crazy 222 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: left wing guy. 223 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: The funny thing about AOC, though, would be and again, 224 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 2: I think she's running for president, and if I were 225 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: advising her another way, I like to play the game, 226 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: if I were trying to help the other side, how 227 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: would you have to think like that? 228 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would. 229 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: Say AOC absolutely should run for should run for president 230 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: for her own brand. Again, I'm not saying I think 231 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: you all know what I'm saying. That would be a 232 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: smart brand move for her, but she would also if 233 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: she did run against Humor Clay and One, she would 234 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: have to go down as the ultimate metaphorical giant killer 235 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 2: here in politics. 236 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: I mean, she would have to be the She would have. 237 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: Taken out the number three out of nowhere in congressional 238 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: Democrat leadership. 239 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: That guy had served like twenty thirty years saw the 240 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: semitruck that took him out coming. I do think there's 241 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: a story about that one, because if he had really 242 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: seen AOC coming, he could have nipped her entire political 243 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: tenure in the bud, so to speak. But since then 244 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: she's only gained in popular airy. 245 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: My my big takeaway if there can be one other 246 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 2: than nihilism, and there's no reason to think anything will 247 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: work for you in Game of Thrones. You know Game 248 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: of Thrones. This is kind of like a nihilistic mass 249 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. But the thing that I 250 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: did take from it is that Hubris. Hubris, if you 251 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: think about all the main character arcs, is the fatal 252 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 2: flaw and that guy I can't remember his name now, 253 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: who AOC. That tells you something to aos. He ran 254 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: against Hubris was his was his. He didn't even think 255 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 2: he had a campaign. That's right, That creates that creates 256 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 2: a vulnerability, doesn't it. But you don't even think you 257 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: have to show up. Schumer will know that he's got 258 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: a campaign if he gets that challenge from his left. 259 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: But I don't believe that. I don't believe that Schumer 260 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 2: is gonna be It's what will he be sent in 261 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: leadership again if they have a majority. You know, maybe maybe, 262 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: But I think Schumer would win re election if he 263 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: really wants to. 264 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: The fact that the shutdown has already blown up to 265 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: such an extent that the main talking point today is 266 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: not any impact that the shutdown had, but will the 267 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: chief Senate Democrat be able to keep his job is 268 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: illustrative of what a disaster this has ended up being 269 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: for the Democrat Party. And we told everyone this. They 270 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: had no real goals, There was no logic behind this shutdown. 271 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: It was a temper tantrum, and sooner or later everybody 272 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: was going to stop simultaneously throwing the same temper tantrum. Yes, 273 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: all true, all very true. The ugliness of anti Semitism 274 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: is showing itself again, both worldwide and here at home. Synagogues' 275 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: Jewish schools having to protect themselves with armed security. Ignoring 276 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: anti Semitism is not an option. This is the moment 277 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: to take a stand.

It was in the center. If 358 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 5: you've ever been there, there's a center opening. He was 359 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 5: standing next to the center opening, and I couldn't really 360 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 5: hear him much because it was crowded, But later on 361 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 5: I walked over to listen to him, and it turned 362 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: out he was actually on the ship and he was 363 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 5: on the set. He was on the second tallest crow's nests, 364 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 5: and he got blown out and he woke up in 365 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 5: the water, and so I stayed after. I didn't even 366 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 5: get on the ship back because I wanted to talk 367 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 5: to him. It was so amazing. And he said, you 368 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 5: want to know why I think it blow blew up? 369 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 5: And I said, of course I do. He said, well, 370 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 5: we just put a catapult on about a year before 371 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 5: to send off floatplanes to do some reconnaissance, and we 372 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 5: had to put the chargers. 373 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: Stick stick with us because we've got a hard out here. 374 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: If we'll keep him over, we'll bring him.

Sure. So I was the gentleman. 400 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 5: I was talking to the gentleman after the ship left 401 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 5: and now we were the only two in there, and 402 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 5: he said, you know, I want to know why I 403 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 5: think the ship blew up like it did was because 404 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 5: we had just put about nine months before we put 405 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 5: a catapult on and we used to we would send 406 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 5: off floatplanes with special charges to go out to do reconnaissance. 407 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 5: And he said that the powder they use for that 408 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 5: was very volatile. We had no place to stor it 409 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 5: except in the magazine, so we set it around the 410 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 5: inside of the charges for the regular guns, which wasn't 411 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 5: as volatile, and he thought that was He thought that 412 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 5: would contributed to the explosion. And then and then it 413 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 5: actually gets better because while we're standing there, just the 414 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: two of us, the next ship came up to drop 415 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 5: people off, and here comes everybody up and the very 416 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 5: last group coming up where it was an older gentleman 417 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 5: with two women on either side, women on either side 418 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 5: of them helping him up the grant and up the 419 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 5: guy came and he turned and it was a Japanese guy, 420 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 5: and he had an interpreter there, and he said he 421 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: was on one of the planes that had dropped the 422 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 5: bombs on Pearl Harbor. And the two just looked at 423 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: each other and saluted each other, and there wasn't a 424 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 5: dry eye in the place. It was unbelievable. He said 425 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: he'd always wanted to be there. This was the first 426 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 5: time he could go Wow, Harbor. 427 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for calling in and sharing that story 428 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: on Veterans Day.

It's an incredible spot. 433 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: And the reason why it comes to mind here is 434 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: they put veterans. Veterans would come and stand in the 435 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: main lobby that fought in World War Two for years 436 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: and years, veterans from the New Orleans area, veterans traveling 437 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: and tell their stories to people who came to tour 438 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: the World War Two memorial. And there are so few 439 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: World War Two veterans left among us now that I 440 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: am so grateful that they have done a phenomenal job 441 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: of chronicling so many of those stories so they aren't 442 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: lost to history. With just so many interviews that have 443 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: been done with so many of our brave World War 444 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: Two veterans. And if you get the opportunity, you go 445 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: to New Orleans. I know it's a huge tourist town. 446 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: I know everybody gets out on Bourbon Street and gets 447 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: hurricanes and and has a phenomenal time in that city. 448 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: Please take the time to go to the World War 449 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: Two Museum.

The last time I was 450 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: in New Orleans was the Super Bowl last year, and 451 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: or I guess early this year. I was really impressed 452 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: at the number of kids that were in town to 453 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: go to the game. Kind of a cool thing to 454 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: get to do as a kid, but that mom and 455 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: dad were taking them to as part of being down 456 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: in town for that game, that they were taking them 457 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: also to the Super Bowl. A lot of Chiefs, a 458 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: lot of Eagle fan bases. But when I was there, 459 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: the number of kids that I saw was very impressive. 460 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: So if you get the opportunity to go tour that museum, 461 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: I can't recommend it any higher at all. It truly 462 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: is extraordinary. Let's see Dan and Prescott Arizona said you 463 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: got to have a lunch with General Omar Bradley. How 464 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: did that happen? 465 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 8: Well, in seventy eight, our unit at Fort Bliss, which 466 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 8: is where General Bradley was stationed or retired. Our unit 467 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 8: was best on post and I was fortunate enough to 468 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 8: be best on post also, and General Bradley came and 469 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 8: visited our unit, and I was selected to have lunch 470 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 8: with him, and the two star general that pushed him 471 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 8: around instructed me that I could ask him anything except 472 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 8: his view on how General Patten died. And he was 473 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 8: very accommodating, He was very nice, he was still in uniform, 474 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 8: still a wonderful gentleman. But I did not ask him 475 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 8: how General Patton died, and I always wanted to. He 476 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 8: autographed his book for me, and I've seen several documentaries 477 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 8: on it, but never quite satisfied with with the answer. 478 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the patent. Died in a car accident, right, Well, 479 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm assuming there must be a conspiracy theory associated with that. 480 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: I did not know that, But yes, I didn't know that. 481 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was anything. What there is there 482 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: a conspiracy that? Why would Omar Bradley, I not General Bradley, 483 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: have not been wanted you answer asking that question? Do 484 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: you have any idea? 485 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 8: Yes, after reading several books, the accident was such a 486 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 8: small accident. Nobody else was injured. There were just a 487 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 8: lot of things that don't add up. You could you 488 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 8: could ask Bill O'Reilly, he wrote Killing Patten, And if. 489 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: We will ask Bill O'Reilly, he scheduled to be on 490 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. 491 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 2: So first we got Uncle Bill Thursday, so we'll mark 492 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 2: this one down for him.

And unfortunately they're really rough on 564 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 2: foundations for buildings. They burrow and they dig, so they 565 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: can be a pest. They can be dangerous to building structures, 566 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: sort of like the boa constrictors and pythons that they 567 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: have here now, also pets that were released, the pets 568 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: that I like, though, we have parrots that have been 569 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 2: released and the parts are fun, they're nice.

And I'm wondering if he ever met 732 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 13: my dad. I grew up around Fort Bliss because my 733 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,959 Speaker 13: dad was a retired Air Force colonel and then moved 734 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 13: to El Paso. We were at Fort Bliff all the time, 735 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 13: and my dad became friends with General Bradley. And I 736 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 13: was a little girl, but I would go to lunch 737 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 13: with him because during the summer my dad would take 738 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 13: me to the pool. We'd meet General Bradley at the 739 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 13: Officers Club, eat lunch, and then I'd go swimming with 740 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,479 Speaker 13: my dad. And I wish I had understood then who 741 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 13: he was, but I remember my dad talking to him. 742 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 13: General Bradley was so sweet to me. He would hold 743 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 13: my hand. I could still picture him in his wheelchair 744 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 13: and he would hold my hand and talk to me 745 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,439 Speaker 13: and ask me questions about school. And if I'd only known, 746 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 13: you know what questions to ask him. But I heard 747 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 13: the gentleman call in that he had had lunch with 748 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 13: him at Fort Bliss. I wonder if he ever knew 749 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 13: my dad. But it was seizing a experience my dad 750 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 13: ended up getting close to it. 751 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for that story, so many amazing stories. 752 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: Thank you to all the veterans. 753 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 13: Will
