1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Third hour Clay and Bought kicks off now and we 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: are joined by Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky. Senator Paul Merry, 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: Christmas Surf, thank you for being with us. Let's dive 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: right into this. What is going on with this continuing resolution? 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: Can you bring us up to speed with where it 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: stands now and just your overall assessment of the whole situation. 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: We have to put things into context. We have a 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: government now that borrows two trillion dollars a year, So 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: if we continue the spending a continued resolution at current levels, 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: they'll borrow another two trillion at least next year. So 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: a vote to continue the current spending is actually a 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: very big spending liberal notion, one that's not fiscally conservative. 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: So I will support continuing the current levels. But it's 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: worse than that. Speaker Johnson has said also, we're going 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: to add one hundred million dollars in disaster money, and 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: it's worse than that. He then went to the big 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: farm states with big spending Republicans and they said, we 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: need another thirty billion dollars in farm subsidies to make 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: up for the income we lost from the tariffs. In 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: the first Trump administration. So you've got thirty billion for farmers, 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: one hundred billion for disaster, but then also the current 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: level of spending, which is two trillion dollars short. So 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: if the Speaker had a spy and what he would 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: have done has come forward with a bill of cut spending, 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: cut spending, and see if you get the conservatives to 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 2: go along with a bill that actually cut spending. But 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: instead he just added it and crammed it full of pork. 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: And as a consequence, he has a rebellion now with 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: conservatives on both in both the House and the Senates, 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: and we're not going to vote for that. 31 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 3: So you floated this morning, Senator Merry Christmas, appreciate you 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: coming on with us. Say hi to your family. I'm 33 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: sure you're getting geared up for everything. Your wife's got 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: fantastic taste in radio. Last time I saw you both 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: was fly into d C. I think I know she's 36 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: probably listening to us right now. So you floated the 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 3: idea of having Elon Musk as the Speaker of the House. 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: I'm curious what's the reaction been to that. And for 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: people out there who don't know, the speaker doesn't have 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: to actually be in Congress. What would that impact be, 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: what's the reaction been. 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: You know, I actually just learned this a couple of 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: years ago. I used to think it had to be 44 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: a member of the House, and I think it was 45 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen somebody actually put my name for it. 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: I got one vote for Speaker of the House, so 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: I was the first time somebody in the Senate actually 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: got a vote in the House. There have been votes 49 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: for others. I think Donald Trump one time got a 50 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: vote a vote or two in the House. So it 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 2: can be somebody outside the House. And I've floated Elon 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: Musk because one I just finished reading Walter Isaacson's biography, 53 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: and here's a guy who shows up. He's every day, 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: He's at work till midnight. He's looking to cut costs 55 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: so he can get satellites into space at a cheaper 56 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: price with less weight. He's looking at costs on Tesla 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: to make it profitable, and he's been phenomenally successful. So 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: they or not they'd considered as a serious proposal, it 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: at least lets them know. I am unhappy with what's 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: going on now. I'm unhappy with the lack of resolve. 61 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: When I go and see Republican groups around the country. 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: They respond to me, is you control the House? How 63 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: come they don't do something to control the power of 64 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: the purse. And it really isn't that they get even 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: half of it because they have to compromise with the Senate. 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: They control nothing. They never put forward a proposal that 67 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: is a Republican proposal. They just say, well, what will 68 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: the Democrats accept? And that's what the before there's even 69 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: a negotiation, the Republicans have always given in to whatever 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: the Democrats want, they'll get. But that's why the deficits 71 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: two trillion dollars and we have a trillion dollars in 72 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: interest payments every year, Senator Paul. 73 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: The headlines, of course, are doing what they normally do 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: from some of the media outlets you'd expect this from. 75 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: They're saying government shut down imminence, and everyone's supposed to 76 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: get so scared about this. What would happen if they 77 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: just didn't pass this sea on? Like, can you take 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: us through this? Because you know, even for people follow 79 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: politics pretty closely, which is certainly this audience, the logistics 80 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: of there's the realities of this aren't always that clear. 81 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: What happens if they don't do this. 82 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: Well, you know, what I've proposed is legislation that would 83 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: keep the government open, but at a reduced funding level. 84 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: There's still a lot of revenue that comes in. So 85 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: for example, this year, four trillion, little over four trillion 86 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: dollars will come in in revenue and they'll spend a 87 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: little over six trillion, So you don't really need to 88 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: borrow money for the first four trillion dollars worth of spending. 89 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: So we think under current law, the president could actually 90 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: prioritize the military, prioritize the salaries, prioritize our soldiers that 91 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: are in a harms way, prioritize vital functions of government. 92 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: And really that probably would occupy most of the four trillion, 93 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: and probably the rest of the government is actually superfluous 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: anyway beyond that, but I would say government wouldn't shut down. 95 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: The idea of government shutting down is a Democrat construct, 96 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: so they can always get what they wantublic Plicans are 97 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: scared of their shadow, so they never propose anything. So 98 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: I've been proposing for years a Government Shutdown Protection Act, 99 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: And what would happen is for the first ninety days, 100 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 2: they would spend money at one percent less than last year. 101 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: If it goes on more than ninety days, it'd be 102 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: two percent less than last year. And then you would 103 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: go down, and you would escalate down to bring frector 104 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: on spending, and then Democrats eventually compromise because they would 105 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: be horrified at the actual idea of reducing the debt 106 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: or reducing spending, they would finally come to the table. 107 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 2: But because the shutdown is perceived by Republicans as only 108 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: being a Republican caused event, because the media is complicit 109 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: with it, the Republicans came before they get started. As 110 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: a consequence, the way I view it, Republicans exert almost 111 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: as zero power of the purse. 112 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: We're talking to Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky. I'm sure 113 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: you've been following the idea that Joe Biden might pardon 114 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci. If he does, what would your reaction be 115 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 3: if he does not? What does having control of the 116 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 3: Senate mean for doctor Fauci going forward? Given what you 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: have uncovered about Fauci in the past. 118 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: If he's pardoned, I think it seals his fate, and 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: his fate will that be that of someone who bears 120 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: a responsibility for a pandemic that killed fifteen million people. 121 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: It seals his fate because he's on public record as 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: having said the gain of function dangerous research is worth 123 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: the risk even if a pandemic shoud occur. That's literally 124 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: a paraphrase of an exact sentence that even if a 125 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: pandemic would occur, the knowledge is worth the risk. And 126 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: I think that's a terrible misjudgment of what we should 127 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: be doing in gain of function research. If he is 128 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: not pardoned, I still plan on referring him to the 129 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: new Attorney General, to the new Department of Justice with 130 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: a criminal referral for lying to Congress. The reason this 131 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: is still important and why I'm still trying to get 132 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: records from the NIH on this is because there was 133 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: some deliberation and someone there decided that the research was 134 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: safe to go on in Wuhan, and then it didn't 135 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 2: have to go before the safety Committee. There's one of 136 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: the things I like about Elon. If you go to 137 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: one of his rockets and he sees a bolt that's 138 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: loose or rusted or doesn't seem to fit right correctly. 139 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: And this is simplifying it obviously, but he will say 140 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: who's in charge of that person. A person's name is 141 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: attached to every three piece of equipment on the rocket, 142 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: so it isn't that every ion say, we all a 143 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: team of us decided and we're not sure who the 144 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: team leader was. We think it was the other team. 145 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: This is what goes on in government. There has to 146 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: be responsibility for it, and I think if you did, 147 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: you'd find a big change in things. 148 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Senator Paul, what is in your mind the best way 149 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: that DOGE can hit the ground running and work with 150 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: those on the Senate and House side who are serious 151 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: about tackling spending. I mean, what is that strategy? Yeah, 152 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you are talking to these guys a lot. 153 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: What does an effective strategy look like to start to 154 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: rein in mentioned accountability for everything on the rocket? What 155 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: about accountability for everything the sedtle government's doing? 156 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: Without question? You know, one thing I think the executive 157 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: could do is also similar to when Elon started bidding 158 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: on putting satellites up and building rockets. It turned out 159 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: that a lot of the big contractors, Boeing and Lockeye 160 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: were doing cost plus. So they'd been a trillion dollars 161 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: on something and it would cost two trillion and then 162 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 2: they just get their ten percent of two trillion instead 163 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: of one trillion, so there's no disincentive for them. He 164 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: came in and started doing competitive contracts. So one of 165 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: the things I've heard him discuss is why don't we 166 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: have competitive contracts across all of government. Let's don't do 167 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: any cost plus contracts anymore. And so there is a 168 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: lot that can be done on contracting. There's some things 169 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: they can do on employment, and then there's they're going 170 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: to have to send some money back. So if they 171 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: do things more efficiently, Let's say you ask them to 172 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: build a navy ship and you give them a billion dollars. 173 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 2: And you know, if you really had someone like Elon Musk, 174 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: you do it for eight hundred million. And if he 175 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: did great undred million, what do you do with the 176 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: extra two hundred million. Now some have talk about impounding it. 177 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: I think there's going to be some cool challenges that 178 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: they do that. But there's also something called recision. You 179 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: send that two hundred billion dollars back to Congress and 180 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: to a simple majority vote, a privileged vote. If we 181 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: had Republicans with enough courage and gumps to stick together 182 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: on this, we get through a simple majority vote cut 183 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: hundreds of billions of dollars. So finding the waste is 184 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: one thing. Actually cutting it and sending it back to 185 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: the treasure and never spending it is more challenging, but 186 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 2: it's not impossible if we could get all Republicans to 187 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: actually vote for spending cuts. 188 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: We're talking to Senator Ram Paul of Kentucky as he 189 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 3: gets ready for Christmas. What's going to happen you think 190 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: with the nominees that Trump has put forward as his cabinet, 191 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: do you feel like everybody's going to get confirmed? If not, 192 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: where are the battles as you see them sitting here 193 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: getting ready for the start of January. 194 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: You know, I have to say, don't always agree with 195 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. When I do voice my differences when they 196 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: occur his cabinet I've been in ecstatic about, you know, 197 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: ninety some point percent of it. Some of many of 198 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: the people. I've said, these are people I would have picked. 199 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: You know, Marty McCarey at FDA, a brilliant physician in 200 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: Thurgeon from John Hopkins, wonderful picks. Jay Bataccharia for NIH, 201 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: wonderful pick. These guys have impeccable CVS and resumes twenty 202 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: pages long, big academic universities, Dave Weldon at CDC, Robert 203 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: Kennedy at HHS. I met with Cash Mattel today at FBI. 204 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: I think he will institute reforms and try to get 205 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: rid of politicization of the FBI. There's, you know, just 206 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: one after another. I mean, really really good picks that 207 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: I'm proud of. Telsea Gabbard at d and I I 208 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: think we need to make sure that you know, one 209 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: that our intelligence agencies aren't targeting America. She was actually 210 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: targeted by the Biden intelligence agencies and put on a 211 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: terrorist list. That's that's obscene. She's a twenty your career 212 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: military officer who's a lieutenant colonel, and some idiot in 213 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: the Biden administration has people following are on planes, so 214 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I guess. I'm very hopeful that 215 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: they all get through. Some of them are seen as 216 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: more controversial than others, but I think there's a good 217 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: chance they all get through. 218 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: At this point, Senator Paul feels like a great time 219 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: for this country, considering the possibilities ahead and the Trump 220 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: win and the team and the focus coming in.

There 258 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: are reports out there that Joy Reid and other MSNBC 259 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: staffers have all been told that they should expect pay 260 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: cuts as the ratings are collapsing at MSNBC. And whatever 261 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 3: Joy Reid is making, she's making way more at MSNBC 262 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: than she would if she had to go out and 263 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: make money herself in media. And I wanted to play 264 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 3: this because she says Trump supporters have been groomed for 265 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: a long time by rich men to only like rich men, 266 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 3: and she specifically says people like Russia, Limbaugh and Rupert Murdoch. 267 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: This is Joy read last night, Merry Christmas. 268 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 5: It's also ironic the man who scammed America was elected 269 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 5: mainly by rural, working class people, people who have been 270 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: groomed for so long by rich men like Rush Limbaugh 271 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 5: and Rupert Murdoch and the billionaires and fun those podcasts 272 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 5: to love the rich and hate the poor, while Trump 273 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 5: dines with the guys from Big Pharma and admits he 274 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 5: actually can't do anything to lower grocery and gas prices. 275 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: After all, Saward suckers. 276 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 5: Maybe instead of Superman, Trump should put out NFTs of 277 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 5: himself as Lex Luthor, a bald billionaire egomaniac consumed with 278 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 5: an obsession over those labeled heroes by the masses, and who, 279 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 5: in one storyline, lied, cheated, and scammed his way into 280 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 5: being elected president of the United States. 281 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 4: So who watches this look? 282 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: Joy Reid is not an intelligent person, I understand. I 283 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: don't agree with Rachel Maddow, for instance, but she at 284 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: least is a Rhodes scholar intelligent person. Who's the guy 285 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: who is the son of Woody Allen that did all 286 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: the win after everybody for the me too stuff. 287 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: Ronan Pharaoh is at least a smart guy like that, a 288 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: good guy who could use some chalk. Though by Fred, 289 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 4: I'm sure, but he's not. 290 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 3: But I can see maybe how those guys get consumed. 291 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: Joy Reid is a more on in her argument's making 292 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: no sense. Who are the rich billionaire's funding podcasts? 293 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: Can you name? 294 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: I mean, in all honesty, can you name a rich 295 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: billionaire who's big in the podcast space that's funding them 296 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: the way that podcasts get funded. If you're angry because 297 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: Joe Rogan is making a lot of money, it's because 298 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: he has a big audience and they're able to, as 299 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: a result, sell advertising at a really high rate. So 300 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: that's how he makes his money. It's because the audience 301 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: is there. If you want to talk about rich people 302 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: subsidizing shows that don't have audience, that would actually be 303 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 3: Joy Reid. And again it goes back to what I 304 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: said Buck, if she had to go out into the 305 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: open marketplace, there is no audience for Joy Red, she 306 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: would be Don Lemon, which is Don Lemon's just floundering 307 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 3: out there. 308 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 4: Didn't he leave Twitter? I don't even know where he 309 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 4: has an audience anymore. 310 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean look, I don't know, we just get 311 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: in the Christmas spirit here. Lib media has fallen apart. 312 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 4: It's a mess. 313 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: They've earned it, but you know, and I don't know 314 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: how it's gonna get better for them many time soon. 315 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Everything you're saying is accurate. I do also have a 316 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: tough time forgetting or remember. I just will say I 317 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: won't forget that for years and years, the left wing 318 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: media was horrible to conservatives and have tried to be 319 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: terrible to people like you and me, you know, me 320 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: going back for a long time, because I've been on 321 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: the right, you know, and in political media right for 322 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: a long time. So it's tough to forget these things. 323 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there are people at CNN who are just 324 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: honestly nasty, bad people that have hurt the country and 325 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: have tried to tear down those of us who were 326 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: right and on the right.

My grandfather played for General neland I 394 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: wrote about this in my first book, dixiey Land Delight. 395 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: They're playing in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday night against Ohio 396 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 3: State and I am not going now, partly because it's 397 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: a trip right. I just got back from Israel. But 398 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 3: if the weather were really good, I would probably be going. 399 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: It's going to be like fifteen or twenty degrees. It's 400 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: at night, there will be a wind chill. I'm not 401 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 3: willing to sit outside and freeze, and so I'm not 402 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 3: going to be there. Now I'm getting lit up. A 403 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 3: lot of you are attacking me. There's a poll up. 404 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 3: Most of you are disagreeing with my decision. But it 405 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: does make me wonder, is there anything you like doing 406 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 3: enough that you would sit for four hours in fifteen 407 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 3: or twenty degree weather? 408 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: Buck? Do you have? 409 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 3: Is there anything that is out there that you would say, Hey, 410 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 3: you know what I'm willing. I'm excited enough, I'm a 411 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 3: fan of this enough that I am willing to be 412 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 3: in the You know, I live in Miami, so. 413 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: You are you are soft? 414 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 3: Now, everybody who lives in Miami is super soft when 415 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: it comes to the weather. I bet you're wearing jacket 416 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: when it's like sixty three degrees outside. Now your New 417 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 3: yorkerness has faded. My wife lives in Nashville, where it's 418 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 3: a lot warmer than Michigan. She doesn't deal well with 419 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: the cold. 420 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: Anymore. 421 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't take long. A lot of you listening to 422 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: us in southern California, you're all soft. Is there anything 423 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: you would spend four hours in the cold for, Clay? 424 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: I can't even last more than an hour at a 425 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: wedding if the band is too loud. So no, I 426 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: there is nothing that I in terms of things that 427 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: I enjoy like that I would want to do activities. 428 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: The only thing that comes close to this is when 429 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: my dad used to drag me when I was a 430 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: kid to go hunting or fishing, and somehow we were 431 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: always up at five o'clock in the morning and it's 432 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: oftentimes easily absolutely freezing outside, and we would sit there. 433 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 4: I did this. I would never do it again. 434 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: But that's the only time I've been freezing my butt 435 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: off four hours at a time. It's like, hey, Dad, 436 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: is that a deer in the distance? 437 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 4: Sh just I know it's dark. I know. I know. 438 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: A lot of you are listening to us right now 439 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 3: and you are in Wisconsin and you go to Green 440 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 3: Bay Packer games and you're like, oh, it's minus ten degrees. Clay, 441 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: I don't even think twice about it. I don't do cold, 442 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 3: and so if this game we're being played in Miami, 443 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: for instance, where you are. I think I probably would 444 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 3: have traveled for it, But to sit outside freeze. I 445 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: also think Ohio State's gonna beat Tennessee, so that factors 446 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 3: in a little bit. But to sit outside and freeze 447 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 3: like this, I can't think of anything more miserable. You know, 448 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: there's a lot of people for the inauguration, and then 449 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: for the inauguration parade. It's oftentimes bitterly cold in Washington, 450 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 3: d C. We'll see how it is on January twentieth. 451 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: You and I will be up there, but people will 452 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 3: stand for hours to have good proximity for the parade, 453 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: to have good proximity for the inauguration itself. I similarly, 454 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: I am just I'm done, I think with being outdoors 455 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: for cold related events. 456 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 4: I saw. 457 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 3: You know, one of the biggest shows of the year 458 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 3: is still the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade where they come down. 459 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: I guess it's Fifth Avenue and you have all the 460 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: floats and everything else. I guess it was rainy and 461 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: very chilly, And I thought to myself, I can't think 462 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: of anything more miserable than standing on the side right 463 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: now watching a parade and freezing my ass off. So 464 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 3: I'm getting lit up about this. I'm pretty convinced that 465 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: I am never doing cold weather related events like this again. 466 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 3: And I understand some of you would say you would 467 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: do it, but then when it actually came pushed to shove, 468 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 3: you would bail. So I want every game played in 469 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 3: really warm weather, in nice stadiums or indoors. 470 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: If you have to be at an event and it's 471 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: going to be either just sweltering, your sweating through your 472 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: shirt or your your knees are clacking together because you're 473 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: so cold, even though you got on your Parker or whatever. 474 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Would you rather take super cold or super super That's. 475 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 3: A that's a tough call because I've been at games 476 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: where I thought I was gonna die, especially in the South. 477 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 4: I mean sports, I love it. 478 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean I I have been at some games 479 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 3: where it is just like you really think you're gonna die, 480 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 3: and the argument out there. 481 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: People at lambeau Field not lose fingers. I am curious 482 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: about this because I've seen games there on the television 483 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: when I'm at home drinking hot cocoa and my PG yeah, 484 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: and I go. 485 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 4: Wow, how do they stay? You know? What I mean. 486 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: I think it's layers. I think they are experts, and 487 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 3: so you would go in with like nine different layers 488 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: and then they throw the handwarmers and the toe warmers 489 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: and the shoes and everything else. The argument on the 490 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 3: hot versus cold for big games is you can always 491 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 3: take more clothes off.

Twenty twenty and 531 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one buck they put Santa in a mask 532 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: on the nor Ad Santa Tracker. Just I know, I 533 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 3: know a it's the spirit of joy and everything else. 534 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 3: I'm still angry about all that whole era. But I 535 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: remember pulling it up from our home and Santa was 536 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 3: wearing a mask so that you know, he wouldn't get 537 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 3: COVID and die. 538 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 4: In his sleigh. 539 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 3: They really did that on the noor Adu on the 540 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 3: nor Ad Santa tracker, probably because crazy left wingers would 541 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: have complained if that weren't the case. But we have 542 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 3: we are still, We've got We're in the Santa era here, 543 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 3: and so I think it's almost impossible to have more 544 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: fun and when you have young kids than when they 545 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 3: have been and are really just excited beyond belief about 546 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: the concept of Santa Claus coming. And so we'll go 547 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 3: out to dinner on Christmas Eve and as a family, 548 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 3: and then the boys will get get ready for for 549 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 3: Christmas Day. I can't wait. It's it's pretty fantastic.

Wouldn't that be quite a thing 554 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: if it turned out this was all at elaborate Santa Ruz, 555 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, and that actually one of the each one 556 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: of the drones was making a reindeer in the sky 557 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: or something. 558 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 4: This is like a happy ending to the whole debacle. 559 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: Well, this also reminds me of the greatest line from 560 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: a Christmas movie. I think out there to me, it's 561 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 3: you serious, Clark, when chevy Chase is saying, hey, you know, 562 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: they just found out more details about Santa Claus, and 563 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 3: the Dennis Quaid character says, you serious, Clark. 564 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 4: But yes, if it were somehow can it? 565 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: That's what woop be Goldberg argued, You're now making the 566 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 3: same argument as Woopy Goldberg. 567 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 4: On the view box. 568 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: She said, Oh, I think the drone thing is just 569 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: an elaborate test to get ready for a big celebration 570 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 3: for for Christmas. 571 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: Well, I don't actually think that's happening. I'm just saying, 572 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be a nice way that we could close 573 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: out the whole drone fiasco. It does feel like entertaining 574 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: Casco has died back a little bit. Maybe they found 575 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: whatever they were looking for, or they've kind of brought 576 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: back the number that are out there.
