1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. Wednesday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Now a lot to talk to you about. Thanks for

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: joining us here. We've got we got more on this

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: whole signal chat thing. Will work you through some of this.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I think increasingly clear that they're making a mountain out

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: of a molehill a tempest than a teapot. It's one

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: thing to say, Okay, it's not great, we got to

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: fix this. It's another thing to say, oh my gosh,

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: how could we ever ever trust these people ever again?

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: That they just hate Trump and everybody who works for them,

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: So we have to keep that in mind. We will

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: discuss though the latest details that more chat isn't interesting.

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: Claim a day ago Jeffrey Goldberg is, oh, I don't

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: know if I can release this stuff, it's so sensitive.

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: And then he releases it today. What a big surprise,

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: almost like this is all a political hit and not

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: really having anything to do with national security, which I

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: will also point out was not harmed in this. I

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: talked to you yesterday about the classification system and how

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: it is all built upon perceived possible harm like Top

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: Secret would be grave, grave damage to US national security interests.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Confidential is moderate damage to US national security interests. It's

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: an imprecise thing. This is more art than science in

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. But well, we'll give you the

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: details on this, because I don't want your angry neighbor

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: when you're trimming the hedges or whatever or mowing the

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: law and to be able to shadow. Did you see

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: you about the signal chat? And you're like, no, I

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't see. We'll tell you about it so you'll know. Also,

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: we are enjoying the spectacular downfall of Disney with more

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: from the snow White megaflop that is underway right now.

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: The IMDb ratings, the finger pointing has begun Clay about

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: who is to blame for this thing to be such

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: a mess, So that is to be something that we

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: will dive into. And then we've got Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: play I'm sure you saw this after calling Governor Abbott

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: hot wheels. Governor Abbot, who is wheelchair bound because of

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: a tragic accident, has been for I don't know fifty years,

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: forty years now. She says that she was not referring

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: to him in a wheelchair, that that had nothing to

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: do with it.

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: That's first of all, I admire the blatant lie because

43
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: it's so ridiculous.

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: What is her exploit? Have any I didn't even see this?

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: What is her explanation for what she was referring to

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: if she wasn't referring to him being in a wheelchair?

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Do you want me to tell you now? Or should

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: we keep our audience on the edge of their seats

49
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: and get you to see genuinely have no idea. I'm

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: curious what the spin is here. I have not seen this.

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I think you'll have to stay with us to the

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour, and I will tell you what.

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: It's all a good tease. I'm not going to be

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: able to leave, you know. I want you guys to

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: stay with us here. Let's start with this. We had

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the DNI Telci Gabbard, and I keep telling you this

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: because it's true. The best thing she can do is

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: to fix the eye of the intelligence community to the

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: best of her ability and then come forward and say

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: that there should no longer be a DNI because they

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't because it's absurd. But that's not policy's fault. She's

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: doing a great job. She spoke this morning about the

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: signal chat situation, and here is what she said, play

64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: cup one.

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: It was a mistake that a reporter was inadvertently added

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: to a signal chat with high level national security principles

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: having a policy discussion about imminent strikes against the Huthis

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: and the effects of the strike. National Security Advisor has

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: taken full responsibility for this, and the National Security Council

70
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: is conducting an in depth review along with technical experts

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: this chat. The conversation was candid and sensitive, but as

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: the president National Security Advisor stated, no classified information was shared.

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: There were no sources, methods, locations, or war plans that

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: were shared. This was a standard update to the National

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: Security Cabinet that was provided alongside updates that were given

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: to foreign partners in the region.

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Clay, this is an internal, senior level, a senior level

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: deliberation of national security officials in the government. Somehow an

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: American journalist got access to it, and I think it's

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: just an oversight in error, one that will not be replicated.

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: And I'm already kind of tired of talking about it,

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: but I just don't want to let anybody leave anybody

84
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: in the lurch with the ability to get attacked by

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: Oh but did you see the latest or did you

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: see more? But this is a this is a political hit.

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: They've had nothing to attack Trump with other than the

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: stock market went down today, the price of eggs is high,

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and so now they're doing this. I don't think we're

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: talking about this by Monday of next week, and that's

91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the way that it should be.

92
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: So the one thing I will say is it definitely

93
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: feels more and more calculated to me the way that

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: this has been released, because they're trying to turn it

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: into a multi day story as opposed to a one

96
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: day story. So yesterday's story was, oh, my goodness, can

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: you believe this happened? I guess it was actually the

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: day before yesterday, right, This initially happened on Monday afternoon,

99
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: if I remember correctly. But after we were off the

100
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: air Tuesday we talked about it, that seemed to kind

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: of have died down and basically ended. And then this

102
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: morning more of the text change text chain is released,

103
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: and I wonder if Goldberg is keeping more of the

104
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: text chain to try to have a third bite at

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: the apple, so to speak, to keep the story getting

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 2: a lot of attention. I think in general, the fact

107
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: that the reporter was added to the chat it makes

108
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: it look more incompetent than malicious, if that makes sense.

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: And I also think that one reason this is not

110
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: going to I agree with you in terms of how

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: many days it's going to go on, But one reason

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a never ending, multi day

113
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: story is because there was no hypocrisy by and large

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 2: in what we've seen so far on the text chain

115
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: that was released publicly that is different than really what

116
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: people would say privately.

117
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: And usually these stories blow up.

118
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: In a big way when we become aware that what

119
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: was being said publicly was very different than what was

120
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: being discussed privately. And we've seen, for instance, a lot

121
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: of the emails around COVID, when you saw the scientists

122
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: privately expressing doubts about, for instance, the lab leak and

123
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: whether it might have happened, or whether COVID was created

124
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: in a lab as opposed to coming from an animal.

125
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: But then when they all went out in public, they

126
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: uniformly said, oh, there's no basis whatsoever for anything other

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: than this one story. I do think that trumping out

128
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: and basically shutting it down has also gone a long

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: way towards towards limiting the fallout. And of anybody out there,

130
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: who do you think trust the national security experts less

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: than Donald Trump? Right now, after these same guys with

132
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: we talked about this, the FBI raided his house and

133
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: took out all these supposedly classified documents, and then we

134
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: didn't talk about it a lot. But just a few

135
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: weeks ago they gave him all back to him.

136
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: Buck.

137
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: Did you notice when he was on air Force air

138
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: Force one a couple of weeks ago, but also on

139
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: Marine one, they were carrying boxes which were the papers

140
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: that they had seized that they were going to try

141
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: to put him in prison for the rest of his

142
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: life for having. Oh, by the way, now they've given him.

143
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Back to him.

144
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: I just think that that capstone to this story did

145
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: not get a lot of attention. If these papers are

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: so dangerous. I know, he's the president of the United States. Again,

147
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: theoretically he could declassify anything if he wants, but I

148
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: think he recognizes that a lot of this is bureaucratic

149
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: rigmarole in the way that it talks. Let me also

150
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: add this, I don't think the average American cares that much, right.

151
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I think if you're a.

152
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Diehard propagandist partisan on the left, you're super fired up

153
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: about this story. The average person in America today, I

154
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: don't think that there would be anyone out there that

155
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: is obsessively following this. Who is the middle of the

156
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: road voter or just a regular person.

157
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: I think the people who are particularly critical of this

158
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: in public, again, it's a mistake, there's no question they've

159
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: admitted that it's a mistake. But nothing bad happened, right,

160
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: The no harm, no foul principle should apply to things

161
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: like this, just like it does everything else in life.

162
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: The strikes happened the who thi's? And if people say

163
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: huti and huthi by the way, and it has to

164
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: do with the transliteration from the Arabic Modern Standard Arabic

165
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: has something closer to a th sound for English speakers,

166
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: but in the Arabic dialect, I believe in Yemen it's

167
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: more like a tea. So just if I switch back

168
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: and forth, everybody switches back and forth. Clay says hoodie,

169
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: I say houthy d and I Gabbert said huthy. Because

170
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna get the pronunciation. Police. I know

171
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: you're out there. I know you're cruising around with your

172
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: aviators on and your State trooper hat, you know, drinking

173
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: your drinking your black coffee, and just looking out there

174
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to mess up the pronunciation. So I

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: am well aware of the differentiation between HOODI and Huthy.

176
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: But Clay, none of this stuff is big. Nothing happened. Look,

177
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: the problem that I have had in the back of

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: my mind with this, or the thing that could become

179
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: a problem is if Jeffrey Goldberg had something really sensitive

180
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: in there that shouldn't be in a signal chat and

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: they've lied about it by saying there's nothing sensitive, and

182
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: then he drops that that was my It doesn't seem

183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: like that's going to happen right now based on the chat.

184
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: We've all read the chat logs now they've been released,

185
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: unless he's holding something back and setting a trap for

186
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: the people that were coming forward to speak about this.

187
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: But you know, you asked us, okay, what what happened?

188
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: The strike occurred. There's no reason to believe the strike

189
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: didn't happen exactly as planned. What's the problem, right, I mean,

190
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: you know you ask yourself that question, and there's really

191
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: no answer to it. Uh And and I think that

192
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: that tells you all you need to know about this.

193
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: The the I don't know how Jeffrey Goldberg got added it.

194
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Somebody added him, Okay, like that. I don't like being

195
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: talked to like we're idiots. There's a little, a little

196
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: tiny bit of that coming around on some of this stuff,

197
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: like we don't know we need to have the smartest

198
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: tech minds. No, you guys, someone mistakenly added a journalist

199
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and they meant to add somebody else. Okay, let's not

200
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: let's not do this thing. Where is the Atlantic hacking

201
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: into the Atlantic, which is run by and and you know,

202
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: full of staffed by imbeciles, is not hacking into signal

203
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: with top principles of the United States government national security complex.

204
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Somebody made an oopsie, nothing bad happened. Don't make another oopsie.

205
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: And the Democrats are doing what they always do, which

206
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,479
Speaker 1: is just find some way to make this all about

207
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: attacking the people in charge because they don't like them.

208
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: That's that's really what this comes down to.

209
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: One thing I have thought about this, and I agree

210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: with a lot of that. How many different other signal

211
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: chats are currently underway on the group text chain. In

212
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: other words, if we've got one dealing with the UTI

213
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: bombing that's going to be taking place, are there ten

214
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: other group chats? This is one thing I am thinking about,

215
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: And are we certain that everybody on those group chats

216
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: is who they're supposed to be, because I don't think that.

217
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: For the first time ever, they just had I think

218
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: it was an eighteen person group chat related to this

219
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: particular incident. I would think based on the way these

220
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: guys are communicating that they are regularly communicating in general.

221
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: So how many other group chats are out there? I

222
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: think that's one of the steps that will be taken next.

223
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: And hopefully there's no branking a journalist on them.

224
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: But this is fine, Clay. National security officials are human

225
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: beings who have to operate in the real world as well.

226
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: They speak on open lines. They I was just on

227
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: the phone at the CIA yesterday. Don't even get me

228
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: started trying to get my book through the review process.

229
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: I am how's that going about? I am very very

230
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: unhappy with them, But that's a whole other conversation. They're

231
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: blaming elon now we can't get anything done, you know anyway,

232
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it. I don't want

233
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: to get into it. It's very very frustrating, very frustrating

234
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: over there. But when you're when you're on an open line,

235
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean you you can speak to people on an

236
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: open line and you just can't speak about classified and

237
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: if you start here, they're just gonna hang up on

238
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: you right away. So there there are ways that you know,

239
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: you can get in contact with national security officials or

240
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: rather the national security officials speak to each other and

241
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: you just have normal conversations, right, I mean, or you

242
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: speak about things as though you could be recorded, or

243
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: you have to assume you're being recorded, you're being intercepted,

244
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: and you don't talk about classified stuff. But this is

245
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: like the foundation of all operational security. It all comes

246
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: down to the individual. There's all these posters and things.

247
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: If you go into it, whether it's a military base

248
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: or you're in a CIA office, there's you know, operational

249
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: security starts with you. Yeah, because you know stuff that

250
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: if you shout it out loud, it would be very bad.

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: So you don't do that, and it's on you to

252
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: make sure that the level of classification that you're operating

253
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: on or under is attuned to the system you're using.

254
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: So open line phone, assume the Russians are listening, and

255
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: who cares, right, because then you're assuming they're listening, So clay,

256
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: when you're saying other other signal chats, that's not a problem.

257
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: There are unclassified emails that go around government officials, right,

258
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: the same thing with Hillary and her server. The problem

259
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: wasn't that Hillary Clinton ever used unclassified email. The problem

260
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: was she only used to unclassified email and had special

261
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Access program data and all kinds of really classified stuff

262
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: in there. Right, that was the It's not oh my god,

263
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: how could you send an unclassified email about yoga and

264
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: chardonnay drinking. It's that she messed it up. So I

265
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: don't know that we can assume where we should assume

266
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: that anybody messed anything up on any signal chats. But yeah,

267
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: this one is not Look, it's not good. I'm gonna

268
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: but it's not a big deal. Right, there's not good

269
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: and not a big deal. It's in the national security world,

270
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: I would say, more like a speeding ticket. And they're

271
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: saying that this is more like a mass murder because

272
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: they're insane, so well and they need something to attack.

273
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: And this is where you've given the opportunity. Of all

274
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: the journalists that could have been added on the group chat,

275
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: maybe the worst one to add, just just tossing it

276
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: out there, that is a very good point. I mean,

277
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to add the national secure quote unquote correspondent or writer,

278
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: editor or whatever, who is probably more directly than almost

279
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: anybody else, tried to destroy Donald Trump. That's the thing, right,

280
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if they had added some.

281
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: Reporter you were me, we would have been like, hey,

282
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't think we're supposed to be I don't think

283
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be on this, and it would nobody

284
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: would have ever known, right, I mean, it's that they

285
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: added this guy. He stayed hidden in the chat, saw

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: all the chats, and he hates Trump. And so they

287
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: basically got the worst possible journalists to screw up and

288
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: add to the chat, if that makes sense. It's not

289
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: only who they added, But I want to tell you

290
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: our friends at at Hillsdale want everyone to know the

291
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: Constitution front to back, fundamental to their core teaching mission.

292
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: That's why kids at Hillsdale College. Kids have to take

293
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: Constitution one oh one.

294

Speaker 1: Everyone.

295
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: They think at Hillsdale could be and should be able

296
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: to experience this learning. But there's also lots of other topics.

00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: Hot Wheelsgate. Now, first of all, Clay totally separate. But

311
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: it does remind me anything that allows me to indulge

312
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: my eighties nine. He's nostalgia gets me excited. Were you

313
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: ever a Hot Wheels guy when they were a big thing?

314
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Remember the car? Remember on TV? They made it seem

315
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: so cool, these toys, and then you'd get them when

316
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: you were like six years old, and it didn't go

317
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: by itself and it didn't look as cool as it

318
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: did on TV.

319
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: I was not, but my oldest son was a big

320
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: hot wheels kid.

321
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: Like.

322
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: We had a lot of you know, cars for him

323
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: to play with. He had the uh, the tracks you

324
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: know where you can race cars against each other. He

325
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 2: was of my three boys, the one that that I

326
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: remember being the most uh sort of into hot wheels,

327
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: and we spent a lot of time playing cars.

328
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: I remember my my little nephew who's growing up very fast,

329
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: my sister's boy. It's funny because it's one of those

330
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: experiments that you didn't mean to run, but you see

331
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: it in real time. He just likes so many other

332
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: little boys. This is just in the whole gender you know,

333
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: what's gender normative everything else. He loves trucks and dinosaurs. Yep.

334
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: And what I think is that no one ever told

335
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: him you need to like trucks, you know, like dump

336
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: trucks and and you know, and like like construction kind

337
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: of trucks. He is, he's got all these toys everywhere.

338
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: He's you know, three years old now, and dinosaurs. He

339
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: knows more about dinosaurs than I do. And I actually

340
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: think I was pretty good. You know, he was talking

341
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: about like pacisephio loris or something. I don't even know that.

342
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: But the boys like things that boys like at a

343
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: young age, you know, and it's different. He's not sitting

344
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: there playing with little tea sets, and it's just based

345
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: on what he asked for. Side note. But I do

346
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: think it's in and there's a lot of science that

347
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: all the scientific data supports this. I might add that

348
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: little boys like different things in terms of you know,

349
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: how they play and their toys and everything, then little girls.

350
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: And it's not. You know, oh, if only we gave

351
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: them gender neutral clothing, this wouldn't happen. Okay, side note,

352
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: but hot, okay, back to hot wheels because buckets buck

353
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 1: has been has been weaving the story here a little bit.

354
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Back to hot wheels. Here's what we've got. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett,

355
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: she said she made a hot wheels joke. And I

356
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: don't do the pear clutching thing. I don't think any

357
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: of you do it. You know, we look it's inappropriate.

358
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: It's a gross thing to say. But you know, Governor

359
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Abbot's running the Great State of Texas. And you know,

360
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: he's an incredible success story, and you know, I don't

361
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: think he's up at night upset about this, right, I mean,

362
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: you know he's he's a big, successful, powerful.

363
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: Guy, and you know, it's it's gross things that I

364
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: be wearing. I would be wearing a governor hot wheels, teacher.

365
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: I agree with you that that leaning into it, that

366
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: you know, if he decided to get like flames painted

367
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: on the side of his wheelchair or something that actually

368
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: really really funny, right, yes, yeah, like if he just

369
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: leans into it, because yeah, obviously you know, he's overcome

370
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: a tremendous challenge in his life, but he's done so

371
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: with with amazing success and and you know we we

372
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: we know and like the Governor Texas is a good guy.

373
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, she said that which was not good. Okay,

374
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: it was not as it was not. It was a

375
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: it was a nasty and dumb thing to say. Not

376
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: a surprise coming from Congresswoman Crockett.

377
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 3: Uh.

378
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: And then she put this out Clay and I'm quoting here.

379
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: This is her justification or her rationalization or what I

380
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: want to hear this I have not seen. This is

381
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: first time for Clay, So you're getting this in real time.

382
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of you will be getting this

383
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: in real time. Quote. I wasn't thinking about the governor's condition.

384
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he

385
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: used to transfer migrants into communities led by black mayors,

386
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable. Literally,

387
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: the next line I said was that he was a

388
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: hot ass mess, referencing his terrible policies. At no point

389
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: did I mention or allude to his condition. So I'm

390
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump,

391
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: a man known for his racially insensitive nicknames and mocking

392
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: those with disabilities, are now outraged. Clay. One, she didn't

393
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: write this. Two who, No one believes this. She doesn't

394
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: believe it. Her supporters don't believe it. We don't believe it.

395
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: What is she doing? I just I don't think she's

396
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: very intelligent. I mean, and.

397
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: We said that about AOC. I think AOC is a

398
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: next level smarter than Jasmine Crocket. I just I don't

399
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: know who the Jasmine Crockett constituency is. I understand that

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: she has a congressional district. I presume, if our team

401
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: can look it up, I presume that it is one

402
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: of the congressional districts that the state of Texas has

403
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: basically loaded with Democrats right. Unfortunately, to a large extent,

404
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: most congressional districts are not actually that competitive. There's four

405
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five of them nationwide. I think there's

406
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: about thirty that in any given year now can swing

407
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: one direction or the other. Both parties have jerry mander

408
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: to such an extent that they have guaranteed themselves the

409
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: maximum number of seats in the states that they control,

410
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: and they have stuffed a lot of Democrats in seats,

411
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: or they've stuffed a lot of Republicans in seats. So

412
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm guessing Jasmine Crockett is representing one of those seats,

413
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: and so there is no requirement that she in any

414
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: way be a reasonable person. Having said that, I encourage

415
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: her to keep talking. I think that every time Jasmine

416
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: Crockett opens her mouth, Republicans gain more supporters and she

417
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: doesn't gain anyone.

418
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: And this is not a spot you want to be in.

419
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: It can be simultaneously the case that it's for her

420
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: career to be saying the things that she's saying because

421
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: she is in a safe seat in the state of Texas,

422
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: I think the Houston area somewhere, and she can't be

423
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: removed because she's seen as a powerful person in Democrat politics.

424
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: But it can also be the case that she is

425
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: lighting on fire her ability, her ability to grow the

426
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: overall Democrat party by the way, uh Dallas not Houston

427
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: area district. And I just encourage her to keep talking.

428
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: And that is I mean, that's when you're attacked. The

429
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: basic pr move now is to pivot on your attack

430
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: and immediately double and triple down on the attack that

431
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: you made in the first first place. So she immediately

432
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: goes after Trump for being racist and whatever, it's enophobic,

433
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: whatever she wants to accuse him of. But everybody knows,

434
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: I mean, the governor is in a wheelchair. Do you

435
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 2: really you don't think if she's too dumb to recognize

436
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: that calling him governor hot wheels is like, let's presume

437
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: it might actually be worse than being a nasty person,

438
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: who would who would make fun of that kind of additionability,

439
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: She would actually be so dumb that she wouldn't even

440
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: conceive of like no, no light bulb goes off in

441
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: her head when she's like, he's literally in a wheelchair

442
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: and you're mocking him him using wheels. I mean, come on,

443
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: like that's she If she's truly that dumb, it's even

444
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: worse almost.

445
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: The pivot you talked about, the pr pivot. Was it

446
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein, if memory serves this is like a decade ago,

447
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: who said, when the allegations came out about him, I'm

448
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: going to dedicate myself to fighting the NRA. Was it

449
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein who did that? I think that's really funny,

450
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: which was one of the It was like, it was like,

451
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: excuse me, I was not sexually assaulting all these women,

452
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: and I'm going to redouble my efforts against the NRA.

453
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: Was it Kevin Spacey who came out for the first

454
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: time is gay. As soon as he got charged with

455
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: sexually inappropriate behavior, somebody came out.

456
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Well, there was the governor. The governor of New Jersey

457
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: had a I had like I think it was his

458
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: And again, guys, I'm going on memory. I don't remember everything.

459
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: I think it was his lover. He was married to

460
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: a woman and I think had kids. Mcgreevy's gay. And

461
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: then came out and said I am a gay American

462
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: when he had gotten his like boyfriend basically some senior

463
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: level six figure job, like a no show job in

464
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: the Jersey state government, and it turned into this whole scandal. Guys. Facts. Sorry,

465
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: we're throwing a lot of fact checks at you. In

466
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: real time. I think Joe Harvey Weinstein was the one

467
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: who pulled the NRA thing, which was just like it's

468
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, hey, hey, I know everyone's thinking that

469
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: i did all these terrible things to women, but I'm

470
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: going to write a check to fight the NRA right now,

471
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: And that was supposed to get him out of it.

472
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, and a lot of people did the This is

473
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: probably years and years ago, but you remember anytime you

474
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: did something bad, you just went to rehab.

475
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: Like for in.

476
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 2: Hollywood, the number one move for like twenty years was

477
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: oh so and so did so and so, and you're like, yeah,

478
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm just going to rehab.

479
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that doesn't really happen anymore.

480
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: It's like we don't give the rehab card the same way,

481
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: so now it is very odd. Like I think it

482
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: was Kevin Spacey who was like, you know, actually I'm

483
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: gay and I'm just being targeted because I'm gay.

484
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, I actually nailed it with the

485
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: recall of this one. I pulled this one up Clay

486
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein. This is back in. I said it was

487
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: a decade ago.

488
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 6: Is that right?

489
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty seventeen, so basically a decade ago. He said,

490
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Remember this guy was accused. I mean

491
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: he's serving time I think still, or I think he

492
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: one of his convictions got overturned, but he has served

493
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: time for rape. I'm not sure what the current adjudication

494
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: of his cases is, but he went to prison for

495
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: a long time. But when this was all coming out,

496
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: he said, this is true. I've decided that I'm going

497
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: to give the NRA my full attention. He is determined

498
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: to quote channel his anger toward the National Rifle Association.

499
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: That was really his pivot, that was his go to.

500
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I know you think that I'm a

501
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: rapist or I've been charged by women on the record

502
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: and by law enforcement with sexual assault, but I really

503
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: hate the NRA, so let's focus on what matters here. Now.

504
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: That didn't work for him, But I just think that

505
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: that may be the most outlandish pivot of that kind

506
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I can remember, but uh, Jasmine Krockett pulling the oh,

507
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't making fun of governor hot wheels in a wheelchair.

508
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: By the way, Trump is really bad. What does that

509
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: have to do with anything? Correct, with anything. It's a

510
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: very predictable pivot.

511
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: But again, I love your idea of him putting flames

512
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: on actually be really funny.

513
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: For his next press conference.

514
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: If he came out with the hot wheels flames on

515
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: his wheels, I would definitely wear the governor hot wheel

516
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's a bad nickname, honestly,

517
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: like and it definitely throws it back in her face

518
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: and makes it very funny. I think that would I

519
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 2: think that would be phenomenal. I would encourage the governor

520
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 2: to take that move because I think even people who

521
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: don't like Greg Abbott would respect the sense of humor

522
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: that he is showing. And obviously he's a very accomplished guy.

523
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: And to your point, I mean a tree fell on

524
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: him when he was out. I think jogging in his

525
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: in his twenties a horrible access awful.

526
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, ta.

527
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: Kevin spacey Buck did also come out as gay as

528
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: soon as he was accused of sexual misconduct. It's like, oh,

529
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: by the way, guys, I'm gay, you know, like, well, okay,

530
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: but you were accused of sexual misconduct.

531
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: That was That was That's very I feel like we

532
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: can look back now at this at the rise of

533
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: Remember they used to talk about intersectionality all the time. Yeah,

534
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: which is the pseudo scientific description of a society that's

535
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: just all these interlocking oppressed groups, right, and there's this

536
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: hierarchy of oppression and everyone's appressed. We don't don't even

537
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: use the term really anymore. But with the rise of intersectionality,

538
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: there was the oh, I'm in trouble. I have to

539
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: retreat into the bunker of my oppressed group as fast

540
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: as possible. That's that was the move right.

541
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: But gay people, even like even gay people on the

542
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Spacey thing were like, no, this is way that

543
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: you get to come out and be like, I'm being

544
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: targeted because he was accused remember Buck initially of sleeping

545
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: with a fourteen year old boy.

546
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: So I think no, no, I think I no, no, I

547
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: think it was I think it was making a move on.

548
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I maybe here, I don't think.

549
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: Let's see, well anyway, he was accused of something back

550
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: and sexual advances.

551
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: It's sexual advances. Yeah he did not. Actually then there's

552
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: a distinction there, but there he did anyway, Yeah, he uh,

553
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: he completed. He also has always. I don't think he

554
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: ever was charged with anything, was he he's always I

555
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: think he beat the charges in England. Oh, that's right,

556
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: in England. Yeah, so he was always Yeah, but yes

557
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: he did do he did do the pivot all right. Look,

558
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: if your family is storing old video cassettes full of

559
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: family movies from back in the day, let's get them digitized.

560

Speaker 1: The days of those video cassettes into a VCR that

561
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: actually works, those are long gone. I haven't even seen

562
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: a VCR in a couple of decades now. But there

592
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: now our good friend Bill O'Reilly. Next book comes out

593
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: in September, Confronting Evil, Assessing the worst of the Worst,

594
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: and he's got a Three Americans Live show with Stephen A.

595
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: Smith and Chris Cuomo in Westbury, New York. It is

596
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: this Sunday. Tickets available at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill,

597
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: we appreciate you coming on. How big of a story

598
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: do you think the signal controversy is? How long does

599
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: it go on? What is your analysis right now?

600
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 7: Pretty much over today unless there's another revelation, so we

601
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 7: know what happened. You know, Walls inadvertently screwed up his

602
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 7: communications on this internet site, and this weasel Jeffrey Goldberg

603
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 7: got on the site and got the information. Big mistake,

604
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 7: not a scandal. If I were President Trump, I wouldn't

605
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 7: fire anybody, certainly embarrassing. If it happens again, then he

606
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 7: has to fire a whole bunch of people.

607
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: I think that's totally correct, though I totally agree with that. Bill,

608
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here with us. The one part of

609
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: this that I think is interesting is or are there

610
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: a few things that have come out of this, but

611
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: one of them is, what do you think are the

612
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: ethics of a journalist in this case getting access? Do

613
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: you think that he plays the I'm a journalist, so

614
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: I should just find out whatever I can card or

615
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: given that it's national security, which by his own admission

616
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: is high level stuff impending strike, he should have ducked

617
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: out of it. I mean, what do you think is

618
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: the right move? Quite honestly, if you were advising somebody

619
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: who came to you and said, hey, I'm in this

620
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: chat and they're talking about some stuff they shouldn't, what

621
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: would you tell them to do?

622
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 7: All right? As the Dean of American journalism, that's me

623
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 7: fifty years this year in the business, getting paid fifty years.

624
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 7: So I'm appointing myself the dean of American journalism. If

625
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 7: it or men I got on a thread accidentally as

626
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 7: a reporter, I would take notes, all right. I would

627
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 7: get the information because that's what reporters do. And Goldberg,

628
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 7: I don't think that anything deceitful, but I'm not entirely sure,

629
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 7: and I'm going to make a point about that in

630
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 7: a moment. But as far as the reporter is concerned.

631
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 7: His or her duty is to assemble information, and this

632
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 7: would be something that drops in your lap and you're going, WHOA,

633
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 7: I'm going to listen to this, Okay, So that's not

634
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 7: any kind of violation of journalistic ethics or anything else.

635
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 7: Then you have to decide what to do with the information.

636
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 7: Now here it becomes a little bit murky. If lives

637
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 7: are in danger, if military actions compromise, certainly you cannot

638
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 7: release it cannot until after the fact, and I believe

639
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 7: that's what Goldbert did. So this all happened on March fifteenth, right,

640
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 7: so he was shutting a fine line, no doubt. And

641
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 7: the FBI should be interviewing him. I don't know what

642
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 7: cash Fatilla is, but agents should have interviewed him on

643
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 7: Monday just to find out, you know, what the dews happen. Right?

644
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 7: Does that make sense to everybody? Why wouldn't you be

645
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 7: Jeffrey Gober be interviewed by the FBI. I don't believe

646
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 7: that's happened. That has nobody knows about it. It should. Finally,

647
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 7: the importance of the story is that if you are

648
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 7: going to depend on the Internet for vital national security communications,

649
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 7: the Chinese and Russians are going to be your best friends.

650
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 7: So all these people should have known better, all of them.

651
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 7: It's a lot of inexperience in that national security room,

652
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 7: as we all know, and I pointed that out before

653
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 7: these appointments were made. So there we go.

654
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: So what do you think? You said?

655
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 2: You think the story's basically over. President Trump certainly has

656
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: no love lost for the national security experts out there

657
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: demanding that people be fired after they raided his home

658
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 2: and tried to put him in prison for the rest

659
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: of his life for classified documents. Trump seems to be

660
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: totally behind his team right now. Through sixty days, there

661
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: have been very few leaks. I mean, this was, as

662
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: Buck and I have talked about, not only an error,

663
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 2: but an error that actually was probably the worst person

664
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: you could have put on the text thread, right because

665
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't think most people would have behaved in the

666
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 2: way necessarily that Jeffrey Goldberg has. But we're through sixty days.

667
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: You think this story is going to go away? What

668
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: grade would you give President Trump? Bill O'Reilly? Right now

669
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: through the first couple of months of Trump two point zero.

670
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 7: Okay, So you're not just grading him on this incident,

671
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 7: you're grading him off correct the performance. So I actually

672
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 7: have asked this question on Steven ah Smith podcast Monday,

673
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 7: and thank you for mentioning the live show that we're

674
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 7: doing on Sunday at West very Long Island. And I

675
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 7: give Trump various grades. So he gets an A plus

676
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 7: on the border, yep, he gets a B plus on

677
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 7: the deportations of criminal aliens. I think that Holman, who

678
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 7: I had on my program that it spent news yesterday,

679
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 7: has got to be a little bit more methodical about

680
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 7: who's getting booted out of here and why. So I

681
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 7: bet I get a B plus. The tariffs, I'm giving

682
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 7: him a C and an incomplete because we do not

683
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 7: know how that's going to work out, and it's spooked

684
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 7: the stock market, so some people got hurt in the

685
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 7: short term. I tell all my listeners and viewers do

686
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 7: not react to political things in a stock market, just

687
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 7: ride it out. And there isn't for me. By the way,

688
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 7: that is coming in. I think it was one of

689
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 7: the Arab states, Gulf states investing a trillion dollars in

690
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 7: American economy, and that's not reported by the corrupt press.

691
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 7: So there is big money coming into the United States,

692
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 7: which will bolster the economy. But right now people are

693
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 7: confused about tariffs. It is a confusing situation, and so

694
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 7: I'm giving them a c there as far as overall

695
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 7: demeanor is concerned. As you guys probably know, I was

696
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 7: in a cabinet meeting in the White House on Saint

697
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 7: Patrick's day. He was totally in command. I think he's

698
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 7: doing the right thing with Putin, even though Putin is

699
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 7: on the cover of my upcoming book Confronting Evil. Putin

700
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 7: is evil, but you got to deal with evil sometimes.

701
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 7: And I think they're going to get some kind of

702
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 7: seas fire in Ukraine. That's big. Overall, I would say

703
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 7: President Trump is having a successful launch into his second term.

704
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: We're trying to Bill o'reiley. Oh sorry, I just want

705
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: to Bill. I want to ask you. You mentioned the

706
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: live show coming up with Stephen A. There's a different

707
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: kind of live show that's been happening lately, a road

708
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: show of sorts with Bernie Sanders and AOC. It's like

709
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: the socialist elder statesman trying to pass the torch to

710
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: the woke, radical leftist. You know, this is this the

711
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: future of the Democrat Party? You think are they going

712
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: to lead into this. You know, how do you see

713
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: that playing out? Because they have, as we've discussed with

714
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: you before, the bench. They can tell us all day

715
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: it's strong. Their bench is not strong right now.

716
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 7: Well, if they continue on this way, and you're throwing

717
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 7: Maxine Waters saying that Malania and Trump may not be

718
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 7: a citizen, you throw in that Crockett woman in Texas

719
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 7: who is mocking Greg Abbott in a wheelchair. You put

720
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 7: that all in one soup bowl, and Americans are going

721
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 7: this party is disintegrating. With a thirty percent approval rating,

722
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 7: You're going to have two communists go out and do

723
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 7: a tour. Sanders is a hardcore communist. He wants to

724
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 7: see his private property. O cassio Quot says, I don't

725
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 7: think understands the difference between socialism and communism. Could be wrong,

726
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 7: and I don't want to be super silly as word

727
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 7: of the day. She went to the same college I

728
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 7: went to Boston University. But I don't think she understands

729
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 7: economics at all. I think she's just a trendy person

730
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 7: who goes and says what she thinks for radical left

731
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 7: followers want to hear. But Santers is a dangerous man.

732
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 7: He's dangerous. And I don't know whether most Americans understand

733
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 7: that Uncle Bernie is a hardcore communist, but certainly, when

734
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 7: you promote a wealth tax where the government would come

735
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 7: into your home and private property under the guise of taxation,

736
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 7: you're a communist. That's what communism is. So if the

737
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 7: Democratic Party putting their future in the hands of those

738
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 7: four people, then it's done.

739
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, Lebron James, since

740
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: you were gonna be with Steven A. Smith and you

741
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: just did his podcast, Lebron James just went on ESPN

742
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 2: and really kind of took a two by four to

743
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: Steven A.

744
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: Smith.

745
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, but he mocked

746
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: him over the way that he has You know, they

747
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: had a confrontation of sorts on the court, and he

748
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: mocked him over the way that he has covered it.

749
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: You have seen Stephen A. Smith be engaging more and

750
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: more in politics. Do you buy the idea that he

751
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 2: might ever do anything in terms of actually running for office.

752
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: You're doing this tour with him now, I'm sure you'll

753
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: talk about the on feud a little bit, but what

754
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: is his ind game here? He's now got one hundred

755
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: million dollar contract from ESPN, He's gonna theoretically have more

756
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: money than he could theoretically spend. I say theoretically because

757
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there who have made

758
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: a hundred million dollars crazily and end up going bankrupt somehow.

759
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: So that's still out there. But what do you think

760
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: the next move for stephen A.

761
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 7: Is Well, I don't think he's gonna run for politics

762
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 7: anytime soon. He's in his fifties. When he gets in

763
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 7: his sixties, who probably have enough of calling Cleveland Cavalier games.

764
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 7: And maybe he'll say, and he's a very smart guy.

765
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 7: I think he's honest. I've seen nothing to the contrary.

766
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take his measure on Sunday. You know, Cuomo

767
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 7: and Smith, they better be on their game. They're coming

768
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 7: up against me, the Dan of American journalism, self appointed

769
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 7: of course. But anyway, lebron James, when he was yelling

770
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 7: at stephen A. Smith initially was doing so as a

771
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 7: father and I understand that because Smith mocked his son,

772
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 7: Bronnie James, who might not be ready for prime time yet.

773
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 7: As on the Lakers, it is a neppo situation. But

774
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 7: I understand that by yelling at Smith on the sideline

775
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 7: that then Lebron James pulled his groin and was out

776
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 7: for two weeks. So maybe maybe that's something. But you know,

777
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 7: these kinds of feuds, a lot of them are artificial,

778
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 7: and they helped the feuders. Yes, Lebron James is an

779
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 7: attention junkie loves it, and I think Steven A likes

780
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 7: the attention as well.

781
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: Bill, do you still have some tickets to sell for

782
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: this live event? Where do folks go to get them?

783
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 7: You know, it's a really nice crowd, but we just

784
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 7: released fifteen VIP tickets where after the show you get

785
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 7: to meet me and Cuomo and Smith. Now why anyone

786
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 7: whould want to do that, I don't know, But they

787
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 7: sold out fast and first, so we scrounged up fifteen

788
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 7: more and then we you know, Westbury, I don't know

Speaker 7: I appreciate you having me, guys.

806
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: That's Bill O'Reilly.

807
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: Look, we've got a a lot of people out there

808
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: who are trying to make your homes as secure as

809
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: you possibly can, including the Travis household, the Sexton, the household.

810
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 2: Your home should be the safest, most secure place to be.

811
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: And maybe you have lethal options, but maybe you also

812
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: want something that's not lethal. Maybe you've got teenagers coming

813
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 2: and going at all hours of the night. Maybe you

814
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: got kids who are in their twenties still coming by

815
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: the house. Maybe you got shift work going on in

816
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 2: your home, dad, mom coming back at different hours. That's

817
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: what saber is all about. They've got a home defense

818
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: projectile pepper spray launcher that makes a ton of sense,

819
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: non lethal but guaranteed to help keep you safe. And again,

820
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: maybe you're just not sure exactly of what the threat is,

821
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 2: but you want to protect yourself without doing something that

822
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 2: could end in a violent death. Sabers projectiles pack a

823
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 2: serious non lethal punch. Even if you miss, they create

824
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: a six foot pepper cloud upon impact, causing intense sensory

825
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: irritation for anybody within reach. And they have safeguarded hundreds

826
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: of thousands of Americans with their products. We have Saber

827
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 2: in our home. We've got them all, whether it's pepper sprays,

828
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 2: whether it's the pepper projectile launcher, even door secure bars.

829
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: You want to check it out. They can have tremendous

830
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,480

Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. The signal

839
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: fire storm is dying out. That's the good news. I

840
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: think it's dying down. We've seen it all now and

841
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: or I think we've seen it all and people are

842
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: going to move on to other stuff here soon. But

843
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: government's still talking about at the very top level. So

844
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: we'll bring you the latest on it in just moments ago.

845
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: Pete hegseath here, Secretary of Defense Hegsathy. Wait, it's kind

846
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: of amaze. Whenever I say that, I'm just like wow,

847
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense hegseeth I remember, dude, we were on

848
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: the blaze together. I actually can't tell you a quick

849
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: story about Secretary of Defense head es he is uh,

850
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: he is a A. He's a brave fellow, and not

851
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: just for the serving his country in the warzone. Reason.

852
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: We had a I think it was a sponsor who

853
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: came in at one point and it was a it

854
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: was a water filtration system, but you know, something you

855
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: could carry with you for like camping or something. Right,

856
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: it was a little water filtration device. And Pete and

857
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: again this is this was people knew what we talked

858
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: about this on the show. This isn't like some you know,

859
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes a big thing. But Pete was like,

860
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: I really want to try this out. And we were like, yeah, okay,

861
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: like go put you know, go do some tap water

862
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: or something. He went out to the curb in New

863
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: York City where there was a puddle oh god, and

864
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: he poured the puddle water into the filtration system and

865
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: drink it to test whether or not it worked. And

866
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: he was fine, I hope it worked. But I mean,

867
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: that's that's you're that's trusting your product. They offer the

868
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: He he was like it was it was actually him

869
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: and Will Kate. If you ask Will Kate, he was there.

870
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: He'll remember this too, you know. Will and him are

871
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: good friends. And I don't know. I don't know if

872
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: Will I should I should ask. I don't know if

873
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: we'll drank it. I don't remember, but I remember what

874
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: do you think When they were like, Buck, will you

875
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: try it? It's like absolutely not, sir, do you think

876
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm a barbarian? But Pete was. He was drinking that water,

877
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: no problem, and I remember I was just like, my

878
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: he was fine. So the system worked, but man, I

879
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: was not going to be the guinea pig for for

880
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: that one. So anyway, and now now he Secretary of Defense,

881
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: all right, Secretary Defense, tag Seth. That was a decade ago.

882
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: Secretary Defense, Take Seth. Here he is and he's talking

883
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: about the truth of the signal chat playing.

884
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 4: Nobody's texting war plans.

885
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: Well, I noticed this.

886
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 9: Morning out came something that doesn't look like war plans.

887
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 4: And as a matter of fact, they even changed the title.

888
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 9: To attack plans because they know it's not war plans.

889
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 4: There's no units, no locations.

890
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 9: No routes, no flight paths, no sources, no.

891
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 4: Methods, no classified information. You know who sees war plans?

892
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 4: I see them every single day.

893
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 9: I looked at him this morning. I looked at attack

894
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 9: plans this morning. You know who does attack plans and

895
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 9: war plans. Men like that Admiral right there, Paparo for

896
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 9: the Indo Pacific or Eric Krilla are general in Sentcom.

897
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 4: They do attack plans and war plans, And.

898
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 9: Thank god we had those leaders who do it and

899
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 9: do it well, and I know it. My job, as

900
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 9: it said at top of that, everybody's seen it now,

901
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 9: Team Update is to provide updates in real time general

902
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 9: updates in real time.

903
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 4: Keep everybody in form. That's what I did.

904
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 10: There.

905
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: You have it, Clay. That is the absolute latest.

906
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 2: I think that this story hopefully is over again unless

907
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: there is more that has not been released from the

908
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 2: text exchange that they are going to continue to milk

909
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: at the Atlantic. So that is going on. There's also

910
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 2: this buck which is pretty funny. The NPR executive had

911
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: to testify on Capitol Hill today and I wanted to

912
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: play this for you because I was watching it. This

913
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: just happened earlier today during the show. The NPR exec

914
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: Catherine Maher. I think, I'm not sure how exactly you

915
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: pronounced her last name, but she has a history. I

916
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: remember seeing these of insanely woke, of insanely woke tweet

917
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: and she was confronted about them. This is about a

918
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: minute and a half. This is Congressman Brandon Gill of

919
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 2: Texas bringing up all of her old tweets about America

920
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 2: being addicted to white supremacy.

921
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 1: Why in the world are we giving any money at

922
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: all to NPR. Listen to what this sounded like.

923
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 8: Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?

924
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 10: I believe that I tweeted that and as I've said earlier.

925
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 10: I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the

926
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 10: last half decade.

927
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 8: Do you think the white people should pay reparations?

928
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 10: I have never said that, sir.

929
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 8: Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.

930
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 8: You tweeted yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, yes,

931
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 8: our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes

932
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 8: on this day.

933
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 10: I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.

934
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 8: What kind of reparations was it a reference to.

935
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 10: I think it was just a reference to the idea

936
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 10: that we all owe much to the people who came

937
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 10: before us.

938
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 8: How much reparations have you for paid, sir?

939
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 10: I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.

940
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 8: Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?

941
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 10: I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to

942
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 10: it as counterproductive. I think it should be prosecuted.

943
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: Do you believe it's morally wrong?

944
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 8: Though?

945
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 10: Of course?

946
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 8: Of course, then why did you refer to it as counterproductive?

947
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 8: The very different, very different way to describe it.

948
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 10: It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as.

949
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 8: Being be tweeted. It's hard to be mad about protests

950
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 8: in reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private

951
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 8: property of a system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting,

952
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 8: you said that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted

953
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 8: a book called in Defensive Looting. Do you think that

954
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 8: that's an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

955
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 10: I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe

956
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 10: that was at my tweeted that.

957
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 8: You read that book.

958
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean, the level of whies these people are under oath,

959
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: you would think that they would be very well prepared

960
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: for being questioned about what they have said in public.

961
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 2: I just this has to happen this time. I know

962
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 2: people have been talking about it for a long time.

963
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: Why in the world does one red cent of our

964
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 2: tax dollars go to NPR. I've never heard anybody explain

965
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 2: to me why that makes sense. This show isn't funded

966
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: by the government, It's funded by our advertisers. We are

967
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 2: out here talking to a large audience because you respond

968
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: to us. We're competing within PR. Why would the government

969
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: be picking favorites and giving NPR millions and millions of

970
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 2: dollars to help subsidize their programming that otherwise can't pay

971
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: for itself, and we're not getting that same benefit, and

972
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: we shouldn't. Your taxpayer dollars shouldn't be coming to Clay

973
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: and Puck. We are advertisers, We've got a business. They

974
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: really it has to happen now because if they can't

975
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: shut off the fund funding spigot for NPR now, Buck,

976
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 2: they're never going to do it.

977
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: They're just going to keep talking about it forever. This

978
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: just becomes a spoils system that continues on with more

979
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: and more rapacious and greedy jockeying for access to the

980
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: government spoils until it's unsustainable mathematically, and then we have

981
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: a financial reset, perhaps a financial collapse. We really don't

982
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: want to go there. This has happened in other places

983
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: in other countries or nations and parts of history, and

984
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,919
Speaker 1: it gets really ugly. We don't want that. So whether

985
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: anyone's willing to be serious about that now, it is

986
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: a mathematical certainty that that is what we will get to.

987
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: If we can take matters seriously now, we can prevent that.

988
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 2: Buck, here is we were having some fun. You and

989
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: President Trump have the exact same opinion on George Clooney.

990
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 2: This is on this very program July twelve, twenty twenty four,

991
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 2: the day before he was almost assassinated. You know, you

992
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 2: and I almost had the final interview with President Trump

993
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 2: if he had been shot on July thirteenth. This is

994
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: Trump calling George Clooney a third rate movie actor. Listen,

995
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 2: do you follow kind of this palace intrigue. It's really

996
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 2: kind of wild. In the two weeks since you knocked

997
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: him out in the debate, I mean, they have just

998
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 2: spun completely out of control.

999
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: And I've been reading that Barack Obama, George.

1000
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: Clooney comes out and says, hey, you got to drop out.

1001
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: Can you believe how much of a dumpster fire they

1002
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 2: are right now?

1003
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 6: Well, I thought George Clooney was very disloyal, because whether

1004
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,479
Speaker 6: you like Biden or not, you know, he's been nice

1005
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 6: to Cloney. I thought it was very disloyal, backstabber, a

1006
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 6: third rate movie actor. He was a television actor and

1007
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 6: never made really a good movie, and.

1008
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 7: So he's sort of third rate.

1009
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 6: He goes as a movie actor pluck gable, he's not.

1010
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 6: And you know, but I thought it was a I

1011
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 6: thought it was a great act of disloyalty.

1012
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have two things here, Clay. First of all,

1013
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: amazing recall from you. I did not remember this response

1014
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: from Trump. And then the second part of this is

1015
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: he's had so many other things one hundred percent cuts

1016
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: right to the heart of it. Spot on George Clooney,

1017
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: one of the most overrated actors of his generation, and

1018
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: Joe you on top of it. I love that you

1019
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: and Trump had the same opinion. So if I go

1020
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: see this Broadway play of George Clooney, you think I'm

1021
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: making an awful h a awful entertainment decision. I don't

1022
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: know Sidney Sweeney in it. I mean it depends with

1023
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: many factors. That's a good point.

1024
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 2: The comments on the Sydney Sweeney snow white idea are

1025
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 2: a gold mine if you want to be just laughing.

1026
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: We'll read a few of those for you when we

1027
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 2: come back. We'll also Caroline Levitt had a White House

1028
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 2: press briefing. By the way, I think Trump is doing

1029
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 2: a briefing press conference at for Eastern, So there's no

1030
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: talent how that's going to go.

1031
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: That's a podforn moment. Caroline was handling the press. Here

1032
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: we have it. We have a SoundBite for doing this

1033
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: just as we were all in the air. Let's see, uh,

1034
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: what kind of mood she's in today? Play it.

1035
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 8: Does the President feel that he was misled by his

1036
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 8: national security advisors, whoever it was that told him there

1037
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 8: was no classified information in there?

1038
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: Now that he's seen these messages.

1039
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 8: I've now been asked to answer this question three times

1040
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 8: by the both of you, and I've given you my answer.

1041
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 8: The President feels the same today as he did yesterday.

1042
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 10: Okay, phil And I'm sorry I might follow up on

1043
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 10: what you had.

1044
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: Just go ahead, Philip, I mean when I'm not taking.

1045
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: Your follow up, I have a follow on something you

1046
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: just said, though, Caroline.

1047
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 5: That's Caitlin regarding there for taking your follow up, Philip,

1048
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 5: go ahead, I have called you.

1049
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: Hey, look at that just there clapping it down. Caroline.

1050
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: You know, I spent a lot of time with Caroline

1051
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: over the weekend and Buck, you and I started having

1052
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 2: Carolina on the show, and she was running for Congress

1053
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire and at the age of twenty six.

1054
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: We saw talent. We saw talent early. We even tried

1055
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: to be honest. We'll just say we're going to bring

1056
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: her into Clay and Buck podcast now it's at one point,

1057
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: and then they offered her the job of being campaign

1058
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: spokesman for Trump, and she's like, I think I gotta

1059
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: do that, and we're like, God, blessed, go do that.

1060
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: That's a good move, no doubt. And you know, she's

1061
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 2: got an eight month old. I feel like sometimes this

1062
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: just gets lost in the in the conversation. If there

1063
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 2: were a Democrat White House Press secretary performing as ably

1064
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 2: as right now Caroline Levitt Is and she had an

1065
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: eight month old baby, she would be girl boss slave queen.

1066
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 2: You would not be able to avoid positive coverage. And

1067
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 2: I saw I was reading the other day the Washington

1068
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: Post just ripped Caroline to shreds for working for Trump.

1069
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I do think the double standards, Like think

1070
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: about how hard it for those of you, Buck, you're

1071
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: about to be in this boat.

1072
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 1: For those of you who have had you know.

1073
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 2: Infants, babies, Imagine having a baby while having one of

1074
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: the most ingy jobs in America. I really do think

1075
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: that's true White House Press secretary, where everybody is looking

1076
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 2: for every single word that you say, dissecting it, trying

1077
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: to rip you to shreds all the time, doing both

1078
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: those things so ably at the same time, and yet

1079
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: there's almost zero positive coverage about her Compared to if

1080
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: she were working at a Democrat administration, she would be

1081
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 2: one of the most praised people in all of the

1082
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 2: news media. It's just the disconnect between how she's being

1083
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: treated is pretty crazy, and I do think it's worthy

1084
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 2: of taking note for all of you out there.

1085
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: Caroline's killing it, doing a great job. Let me tell you, Buck,

1086
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: what was it?

1087
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: Thirty eight I got right and thirty seven you got

1088
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: right In the NCAA tournament so far, record right on

1089
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 2: his heels. I'm hot on his heels everyone. I've got

1090
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 2: a one game lead. Record ratings highest rated in CBA

1091
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 2: tournament since nineteen ninety two. Some are saying that's entirely

1092
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 2: because Buck Sexton has filled out a bracket. Have become

1093
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 2: aware that the NCAA Tournament now exists. People are watching

1094
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 2: it like crazy. Tomorrow starts to Sweet sixteen. I have

1095

1097

1098
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: square for everybody. You have to do this in the

1099
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 2: first twenty four hours. Cooper Flag, best player for Duke,

1100
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: maybe the best player in the tournament overall. He's going

1101
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: to score more than one half point. You have to

1102
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 2: get this in the next twenty four hours. It is

1103
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 2: effectively a free square like on bingo. You can't lose

1104
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 2: that one then tomorrow, sorry Friday. Zachai Ziggler, point guard

1105
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 2: for Tennessee game against Kentucky. He's going to have more

1106
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,840
