Buck, we 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: were just going to break talking about the I think 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: profound mental health challenges that exist for young people, young 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: girls in particular, and I think the online culture has 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: created a broken idea of what is and what is 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: not normal. And I thought about this, So is it 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: next weekend? I believe that Barbie comes out. Mattel. They're 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: doing a movie based on Barbie and it is starring 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: Margot Robbie and Margo. Robbie has been in a lot 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: of different movies over the last decade plus, but she 31 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: became famous I would say Buck the first time for 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: what I thought was a really funny movie Leonardo DiCaprio 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street. She was the 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: wife of the Leonardo DiCaprio character, and that was when 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: she really, I would say, exploded on the national scene. 36 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Fair to say, did you know her before that? Uh? 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: That was that was a breakthrough role for her. I 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: have to say, I find The Wolf of Wall Street. 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: I know it's incredibly popular. I I don't know why 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: everyone sort of celebrates that guy who was, you know, 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: ripping off middle class America by putting them into terrible style. 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: I just think it's funny. No, no, no, I'm not. I'm 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: not responding to you. It's I've seen the movie multiple times. 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: It's very entertaining, but I do think something gets lost 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: in the messaging, like, well that guy did he was 46 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: stealing from people. He was stealing, right, and people in 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: some cases who had, you know, not the money to lose. 48 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: And uh, and now he's got a whole sort of 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: second act as a like public speaker and everything else. 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: And also that movie was funded with This is really amazing. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: That movie was funded by uh, the one MDB scamster 53 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Joe Lowe, who is a Malaysian guy who it's a 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: long story, is a brilliant book, The Billion Dollar Whale, 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: which you can read about all this. But effectively he 56 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: scammed some sovereign wealth funds and used some of that 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: movie of some of that money rather to fund that movie. 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: So it's a movie about a scamster with money taken 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: from a scam. 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: There is an incredible irony. And I believe Leonardo DiCaprio 61 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: and others had to testify at his trial, this Malaysian 62 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: businessman who was and I think there was some political 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: connections as well, Right, didn't he donate money to Democrat causes. 64 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's very well, he's very connected in China's 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: He's still I have to check and see what his 66 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: status is right now. He was at large last time 67 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: I checked. But yeah, he ripped off a bunch of 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: sovereign wealth funds and spent He threw what was considered 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: the most expensive birthday party in the history of Las 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: Vegas at the time, and you can imagine that was 71 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: pretty expensive. 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: So there's been this big discussion surrounding it. I think 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: it ties in with what we were just finishing the 74 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: last hour, contemplating here, why are so many people profoundly unhappy, 75 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: particularly young people? And there is if you go look 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: at suicidal ideation, there is almost a direct connection between 77 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: the rise of social media and mental health challenges that 78 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: have assaulted young people in America. So to me, and 79 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree, and I think about 80 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: this a lot as a dad, I think that kids 81 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: getting phones and having access to social media, young kids 82 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: in particular, although I think it has had a profound 83 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: impact on much of United States culture, but certainly the 84 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: younger you are, I think the more impactful it has been. 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: Kids getting phones has made them profoundly sad as a group. 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: And the younger a kid gets a phone, the more 87 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: they are afflicted, I would say, with sadness. And I 88 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: know there are a lot of parents out there who 89 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: are trying to go travel and you pass the iPad 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: to your kid to try to distract them, and you 91 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: put on a YouTube kid show. I bet every single 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: parent listening to us right now has done that at 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: some point in time with a young child. And I 94 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: did it. I got asked. I did the Fatherhood podcast 95 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: Buck for Father's Day. It was a really interesting discussion, 96 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: and they said, hey, if you could change one thing 97 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: about being a dad in your experience as being a dad, 98 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: and my boys are fifteen, twelve, and eight, what would 99 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: you change? And I said, I would give them access 100 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: to a lot less screens. Every parent is imperfect. Every 101 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: mom and dad out there is doing the best that 102 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: we can and we all go back and we look 103 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: and we say, Okay, I wish I could have done 104 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: better there at all these things. Right to me, just 105 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: giving kids screens and giving them perpetual access to them 106 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: has made them profoundly unhappy at young ages when there 107 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: isn't a real reason for them to be profoundly unhappy. 108 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: You know, one thing, you are kids yet, but like 109 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: the tech, big tech people are often some of the 110 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: most restrictive about letting their kids have access to platform. 111 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: You know, the screens, which should tell you everything that 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: you need to know about. It's meant to be addictive. 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you think about the history of capitalism, let's 114 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: say the last well last one. 115 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: Hundred hundred and fifty years. Addictive products are a great 116 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: way to get very, very rich, whether it's caffeine or well, 117 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: opium in the case of the opium wars. I mean, 118 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff you could look at where 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: people if you have a product. You know, obviously all 120 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: the illegal drugs that are sold. People would argue pharmaceuticals 121 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: that were sold legally that shouldn't have been sold. And 122 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: these screens and the social media apps that that we 123 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: operate on them are meant to be They are engineered 124 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: to take up as much of your time and focus 125 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: as they possibly can. And when you're an adult, I 126 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: think you have a fighting chance to say, look, I'm 127 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: gonna spend you know, you and I are active on Twitter, 128 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: for example, We'll spend a little time on Twitter, but 129 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: you don't sit there for four hours looking at Twitter. 130 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: Young kids will sit there for four hours. And I 131 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 2: know now it's become a big thing too, to watch 132 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: other kids play video games online or watch other people 133 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: adults play video games wildly popular. 134 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: Book. Same thing with watching other kids play with toys, 135 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: which I never would have believed as popular. Young kids 136 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: now watch other kids open packages just to see what 137 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: the toys are inside. 138 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's there's some deeper psychological components of this 139 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: I think people should. 140 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: Be very aware of. 141 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: And we're the first generations now to have ever had 142 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: this before. I mean, I still remember in remember the movie, 143 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: not The Wolf of wall Street, but Wall Street, the 144 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: Oliverstone classic with Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas maybe Michael 145 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: Douglas's greatest role as Gordon Gecko. But he talks about Rudy, 146 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: his son. It's very brief line, but he's like, look 147 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: at this, I got him. And it's a TV that 148 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: has like a little black and white screen that's three 149 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: by three but it's portable. And that you know, in 150 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: the mid eighties or whatever, to have a TV that 151 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: you could carry around in your pocket was just look 152 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: at what we dealing with. Now you're walking around, you 153 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: have more computing power than the people that were working 154 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: at NASA send sending spaceships as you know, rockets into 155 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: outer space. So things have changed a lot. And on 156 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: the social media side, we look at the what this 157 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: does to young girls, and I think it's particularly damaging. 158 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: I also think that young men should be aware. This 159 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: is why the uh liver King situation that was particularly ridiculous, 160 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: because that guy obviously was taking steroids. The amount of 161 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: influencer individuals who are you know, actors included in this, 162 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: not just sort of fitness guys who are on steroids 163 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: would blow people's minds. And there are now podcasts, I mean, 164 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: there's there's more plates, more dates have you Are you 165 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: familiar with this guy? 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: No? I don't. 167 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh he's got a big following. You know, 168 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: it's really interesting. And he looks at these people who 169 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: are hey, like, do this and you'll be as strong 170 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: as me. And he can look at them be like 171 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: that guy is they call it running a cycle. That 172 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: guy's on steroids. 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: Everybody. 174 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, if you want to do steroids, 175 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: if you want to take antabolic steroids, like you know, 176 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: tremblone and you know, then you can look like him. 177 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: But if you're not doing that, your chance of looking 178 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: like him as zero. It's not about eating bull testicles 179 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: like Liver King said or anything else. But this is 180 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: just all goes to male female. There are its illusions. 181 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: People are being lied to all the time on these 182 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: platforms about what they're seeing, and if they don't know it, 183 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: and there's not enough of a of an understanding in 184 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: the public about it, I think it can have really 185 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 2: negative perception. 186 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: But it's by the clay. It's true of wealth too. 187 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: You go online, everybody's driving a Maserati. Everybody's in front 188 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: of their ten million dollar. 189 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: Beach house, or they're thirty million dollar you know, Aspen 190 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: Ski retreat or whatever. 191 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: That's actually not reality. 192 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: Those people are trying to pay the bills and afford 193 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: groceries and pay their rent on time. 194 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. And the reason why I brought up Margot Robbie 195 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: to start, I want to circle back around to it 196 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: is there's this argument now online as this new Barbie 197 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: movie prepares to come out about whether Margot Robbie is 198 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: attractive or not, or whether she is what they call 199 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: mid which means basically average. 200 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: And then you saw the tweet. Right, there's one tweet 201 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: that set off this whole. There was a tweet that 202 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: said that she's a seven, as in a seven out 203 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: of ten, and this went completely ultra viral, started a 204 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: huge If it was a troll, it was a world 205 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: class troll because million tens of millions of comments and 206 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: things on this or you know, clicks on this. And 207 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 2: so to your point, we used to have remember Robin 208 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: was it Robin Leech Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous 209 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: back in the day, and it was on television, and 210 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: he would he had this fabulous accent, and he would 211 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: go show yachts, and he would go show houses and 212 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: everything else. 213 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: But it was a level of remove. It ties in 214 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: with what I was saying in the last hour. Now 215 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: everybody is trying to sell the idea that they live 216 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: a lifestyle of the rich and the famous, and they 217 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: give an artificial version of themselves. But I'm saying it's 218 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: even tied in with people like Margo Robbie, who are, 219 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: by objective measures, gorgeous, making money off not only being 220 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: a talented actress, but off being incredibly good looking, which 221 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: often goes hand in hand in Hollywood, right, there aren't 222 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot of super ugly people who become very wealthy 223 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: as actors or actresses. But if the standard is being 224 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: set of, oh, this person is not that good looking, 225 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: the judgment on it is I think through the roof. 226 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: So if you're an average person, if you're an average 227 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: fourteen year old girl and you've got braces, or fourteen 228 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: year old boy for that matter, and you've got braces 229 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: and you've got acne, and you're looking at this artificial 230 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: lifestyle that is being propagated on TikTok and being propagated 231 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: on Instagram all the time, and it involves not just 232 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: super famous people you would never have access to, but 233 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: the prettiest girl or the most athletic guy in your life. 234 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: It can feel like you could never ascend to that 235 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: level and make you profoundly unhappy. And I think that's 236 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: what's going on every day, Buck, I think that's why 237 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: there's a great glut of the younger you are, the 238 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: less happy you are, and we're setting all time records 239 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: for these people being unhappy. And then it also adds in, 240 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't even understand this, Buck. You'll learn this as 241 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: you get older. Teenagers don't interact as much as they 242 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: used to. Everybody used to want to get their driver's license, 243 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: and then everybody wanted to go hang out at the mall, 244 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: or go hang out and watch a movie, or go 245 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: get whatever you know, fast food together and park in 246 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: a parking lot. Now they all interact on social media, 247 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: so a lot of them stay inside their house. There's 248 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: less of a friendship bubble. I would say that surrounds you, 249 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: and instead you're all kind of isolated on your phones 250 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: all day. And I see this happen with my own kids. 251 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: I try to get them outside. I'm happy when they're outside. 252 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I love that, the fact they play so many sports 253 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: and they have so many extra curricular activities. But I 254 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: bet every parent and a lot of grandparents are now 255 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: we're listening to us kind of nodding. It's totally different world, 256 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: totally different world, and it's changed instantaneously in a way 257 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: that I don't think we've understood yet. 258 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: I remember I remember in New York City as an 259 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: eighth grader, we would with my friends. We would have 260 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: to do a telephone change. Oh yeah, because the way 261 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: we would get together to play usually it was basketball. 262 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: Sometimes it would be baseball in the park was we'd 263 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 2: have to get you know, I'd call so and so, 264 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: and then he'd call so and so. We'd get ten 265 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: of us together in the park and we would run games. 266 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: And like now, I mean it's just think about that 267 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 2: and you have to call and say hi, miss and 268 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: so and so. 269 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: Can I speak to you know, Bobby? And then you know, 270 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: there was all this. 271 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: Different interaction that that required also with the parents and 272 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: then and now ever just sits around. They can have 273 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 2: a group chat and you know, play video games together 274 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 2: online all day. 275 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a totally different world. And I think it 276 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: is in the same way. Remember when The Insider came out, 277 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: was at the Insider and it was like the story 278 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: of big Tobacco and what they knew Russell Crowe. I 279 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: think in fifteen or twenty years there's going to be 280 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: movies that are made about the power and influence negative 281 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: way of big tech. Everybody likes to think we're too 282 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: smart to have made mistakes, like, oh, those guys were 283 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: idiots when they were smoking cigarettes, you know, three packs 284 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: a day. Didn't they know that they were doing something 285 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: profoundly unhealthy. We're doing that today with big tech and 286 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: I think twenty years from now, all these stories will 287 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: come out and we'll find out. Oh, you know, when 288 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: I was on my phone all day, it was having 289 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: an incredibly deleterious impact on my health. But we all 290 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: got sucked in and addicted, just like they did to 291 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: big tobacco. 292 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: One of my friends saw Russell Crowe recently at a 293 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: hotel in I think it was Sicily, and Russell Crowe's 294 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: living his best life.

I 338 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the 339 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: concern for the United States in that. 340 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 5: Well, it's not my concern, Tucker. 341 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 6: I've heard that routine from you before, But that's not 342 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 6: my concern. 343 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 5: I'm running for president in the United States because I 344 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 5: think this country's in a lot of trouble. 345 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 4: I think Joe Biden is weak in America at home 346 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 4: and abroad. 347 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: A little get a little testy on stage there. 348 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: I would like to see, Well, we'll play more of 349 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: this clay, but the issue of Ukraine, I think for 350 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 2: a lot of the Republican contenders is one where we 351 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: need to hear real answers and get some clarity. And 352 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: Mike I think I know what Mike Pen's was trying 353 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: to say there, but it did not come out the 354 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: way that he wanted it to. 355 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: Mike Penns is not having a good presidential campaign. I 356 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say. And the more he gets questioned, 357 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: the worse that presidential campaign is going, whether it's on 358 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: here or whether it's with Tucker. I think he is 359 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: the quintessential establishment candidate. I don't think he's a bad guy. 360 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: I think he's super nice. I'd be fine if Mike 361 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: Pence was my father in law. I don't want him 362 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: to be president of the United States.

We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 381 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: Let's hit some of these calls. We said we would 382 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: take some as we rolled through the the Friday edition 383 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: of the program, as we generally do. Justin in Frankfort, Kentucky, 384 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: what you got for us? 385 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 6: Justin, say Clay, You're talking about that book being in 386 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 6: every library and made me think of. 387 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: The books Sonia Soada Mayor by the way, sorry to 388 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: cut you off, but for people out there wh don't 389 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: know what we talked about. Sonia said to Major, there's 390 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: a big focus on Supreme Court bias. Basically, you know, 391 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: the right wing justices are untrustworthy because they have relationships 392 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: all these people. Sonia Sada Major wrote a children's book 393 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: and has made just shy of four million dollars off 394 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: the children's book. And so we were talking about the 395 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: fact that every library in America, I bet bought this book, 396 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: and she's trading on her status as a Supreme Court 397 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: justice to supplement. I mean, this is not the greatest 398 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: women the children's book author of all time, right, Buck, 399 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: I mean we're not. This is something where she just decided, hey, 400 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: I need to make money, and so she wrote a 401 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: children's book and she has been able to use her 402 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: platform as Supreme Court justice to get this thing bought everywhere. 403 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: And so you're calling in to talk about justin We 404 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: appreciate the call the children's library situation in general. 405 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I went to the book fair at my kids' 406 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 6: elementary school. In the Kaepernick book. It was the same plan. 407 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 6: The Kaepernick book was everywhere at the book fair, was 408 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 6: heavily prominent in the front of the book fair. And 409 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 6: that's how that's the game, that's the gimmick. Yeah, I 410 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 6: have to get him in the schools. 411 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt they want to put 412 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: a member. Colin Kaepernick got paid way more money to 413 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: talk about how America is awful than he ever would 414 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: have as a quarterback in the NFL, including Buck a 415 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: Netflix special where he compared the NFL draft to a 416 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: slave auction. It is one of the most outrageous things 417 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen, Buck. They had NFL players. For 418 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: those of you out there who have not seen this, 419 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: they had NFL players walking around at the combine. For 420 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: everybody who knows about sports, the combine is where you 421 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: show up if you hope to be an NFL player 422 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: after you finish college. They'd get your height, your weight, 423 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: your speed, how strong you are. They want to have 424 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: measurables before they invest tens of millions of dollars in you. 425 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: And these combine concepts are similar for basically every sport. 426 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: And that Netflix special, Buck, they turned players of all races, 427 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: but they turned the black players walking around at the 428 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: combine into slaves walking on slave auctions and as if 429 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: it were one and the same. And Netflix paid him 430 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars for that. 431 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 3: Now. 432 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Buck, but I'm not familiar 433 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: with very many slave auctions where the people who were 434 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: fortunate enough to sell their labor, got paid tens of 435 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: millions of dollars. As a I don't remember slaves going 436 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: pro right. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm a 437 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: poor reader of history, but that's what Colin Kaepernick tried 438 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: to analogize. And I mean it's toxic and frankly, the 439 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: overall marketplace does not respond to it, but this woke 440 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: universe does. Disney paid him tons of money. They're doing 441 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: a documentary on him, and this is part of why 442 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: I think Disney is collapsing. Bobby in Greensboro, North Carolina, Bobby, 443 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: how you doing. 444 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 5: Great? So Trump, when he came on the scene, was 445 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 5: going to drain the swamp, and I found that very refreshing, 446 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 5: along with other things he did. But the swamp drowned Trump. 447 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 5: It consumed him. And you can ask all the lofty 448 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 5: questions you want of all these candidates, but until one 449 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 5: of them can say how they're going to fix the swamp, 450 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what they say they're going to do. 451 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 5: They can't this thing, this machine consumes people. So I 452 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 5: want to hear from a candidate how you're going to 453 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 5: fix the swamp itself. And I'm serious about this, that's 454 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 5: the problem. You can get both Houses of Congress and 455 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 5: nothing will still get done until you can figure out 456 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: how to battle this machine. That's all I had. 457 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, wise fired up, buck. I mean, that's arguably 458 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: what DeSantis has tried to put out there right, is 459 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: that he has a policy in place. He thinks it'll 460 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: take eight years, and he's been the one that I've 461 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: seen at most aggressively. Certainly Trump has continued to say 462 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: that he will do it. Those are the two that 463 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: I hear the most explain actual tangible things they would do. 464 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: I would just say, there is there is something here. 465 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: I've used the term cognitive dissonance before during today's show, 466 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: But once again, there are people out there that I 467 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: will come across who will express an extreme desire for 468 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: swamp draining, and then in the next breath, I'll be like, yeah, 469 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: and you know, I had to vote for Mitch McConnell 470 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 2: to be my senator again, but you know, we got 471 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 2: to drain that swamp. Or they say, you know, you know, 472 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: I really want the swamp to be drained, but you know, 473 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: I really Lindsay Graham really convinced me that he's a 474 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: different kind of Republican this time around, he's only been 475 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: an office for you know how many decades now, swamp 476 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: are our own fault, our own business, and I think 477 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: that there needs to be an understanding of that too. 478 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 2: You know, this is when people talk about they'll talk 479 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 2: about the UNI Party, They'll talk about the fact that 480 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: it feels like Republicans roll over at the first opportunity 481 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: for Democrats. 482 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 3: Some Republicans do, not all Republicans. 483 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 2: But that's on us to fix, right the notion that 484 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying is that can't be fixed 485 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: by a president. Mitch McConnell keeps getting voted in, Mitch 486 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: McConnell's going to be the most powerful member of the 487 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: United States Senate, most likely as a Republican. That's what's 488 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 2: going to happen. 489 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 3: And you know, you. 490 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: Don't want you don't want the forever War. Okay, every 491 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: time I see Lindsay Graham on TV, he's pushing for 492 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: some version of forever war. Every single time he's on 493 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: Fox News, every five minutes, it seems like every every 494 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: single time he's pushing for forever war. And people in 495 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: South Carolina will be like, oh gosh, and like, who's 496 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: voting for him. Guys, you know, just a little real 497 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: talk here, someone's voting for Republicans are voting for these people, 498 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: and then they're telling us they want to drain the swamp. 499 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: Right, It's a little bit of this comes. 500 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: From a look in the mirror on our side about 501 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 2: who's getting it done and who's not. 502 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 5: Well. 503 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: This is also why, to me, the idea that you 504 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: would spend your entire life in government should never happen. 505 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden should not happen. The guy has 506 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: never done anything in the real world other than make 507 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: money off United States taxpayers. He's been there fifty some 508 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: odd years. How much do you think change anybody who's 509 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: been somewhere for over fifty years actually has interest in 510 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: doing well? 511 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 3: Another? 512 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And something that I think about is, Okay, 513 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 2: what is what does a drained swamp look like? 514 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 3: Right? 515 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: What does a drain swamp really look like? And I 516 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: I want him to think, I don't think that there's 517 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: a quick answer to that. 518 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 3: What does that really mean? 519 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: I know we've been pointing out here because I think 520 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: it's just important to be honest about these things always. 521 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: You know, for all the theatrics about the FBI. Would 522 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 2: anyone want to place a gentleman's bet with me that 523 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: nothing is about to change at the FBI. And it's 524 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: very likely that even if you had a Republican in 525 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 2: charge in twenty twenty four, nothing would change about the FBI. Then, 526 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 2: so what do we do? How do we actually fix 527 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: these things? And you mentioned you know, so Rondasanta says 528 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: he has a plan with Trump. I think it's people 529 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,479 Speaker 2: just want him to be making They just want him 530 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 2: in the captain's chair, right. It's not about you know 531 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: he is he is Lord Nelson of the British Admiralty, 532 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 2: whose whole thing was just go right after them, right like, 533 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 2: just go at the enemy and figure out the rest later. Okay, 534 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: I mean that's that's a strategy. So I think that 535 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: while we're talking a lot about a sense of whether 536 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: it's outsider candidates or drain this swamp or these things, 537 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: these are concepts, but the implementation matters or else you 538 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 2: never actually get the result you want. And I think 539 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: we have to figure out the implementation. 540 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: Still, personally, I wish we had more of a business 541 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: led government because I really do believe Buck, you can't 542 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: do it because of all the challenges with civil service 543 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: and unions and everything else. Half of every federal employee 544 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: should be gone. The government cannot continue to grow at 545 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: the rate that it does. You could swipe away half 546 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: of the federal government employees and there would be no 547 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: difference in the efficiency of the United States federal government. 548 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: Our government is a jobs program for Democrats basically. Yeah's 549 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: in large part that's the true, and I do believe 550 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: We talked about this earlier this week. 551 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Moving more of the federal government outside of Washington, d C. 552 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: For instance, the FBI being located. We talked about it 553 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: in Huntsville, Alabama, as Jim Jordan talked about I think 554 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: that would be a true this difference maker, Well, I'm 555 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: just relocating a lot of it would make it. That's 556 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: one solution. 557 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 3: This is what I mean, though, you know this is yeah, 558 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 3: we've got this. We all want the swamp to be drained. 559 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: We all know that the swamp has attacked Trump and 560 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 2: that the deep state has acted in weaponized fashion and 561 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 2: all this. But recognition is step one. Step two is 562 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: doing something so that that won't happen anymore and things 563 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: can change. This is not a I'm not a what's 564 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 2: the word throwing my hands up on this. I'm not 565 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: fatalistic about it. I'm just saying I do think it's 566 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 2: worth focusing in while we're having this conversation on the 567 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: right about what it's supposed to look like in the future. 568 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: You know, if someone tells me, oh, buck, you know 569 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: it's so hard. You can't fix crime in New York City, 570 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: I know it's out of control. 571 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: You can't. That's a lie, because I've seen it. 572 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: I lived there. You can fix it. So I think 573 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: we can fix the swamp. I think you can fix 574 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: these things. But it has to go beyond the slogan 575 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: of we're going to defeat the Union Party, Okay, how 576 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: with what what are we going to do? And then 577 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: we have to hold people accountable. So people are telling 578 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: me they want to stop the uniparty and then they're like, yeah, 579 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: but I just had to vote for Lindsay Graham for 580 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: the fourth time or whatever. I sit there, I go, well, 581 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: what are we doing here, folks? You know, well, what's 582 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: not just to pick on Lindsay Graham. I mean, you know, again, 583 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: he's sure, he's a nice guy, but his stuff on Ukraine, 584 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: I think, and really every foreign US military venture is 585 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: problematic from my perspective. 586 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, let's hear from some of you on this eight. 587 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: Hundred two eighty two two eight eight two.

Dutch is on a mission to be 600 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: at the forefront of the greatest financial change in American 601 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: history and look beyond Wall Street and see the future 602 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: of alternative investments.

I think we missed that. 620 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: Yesterday was international or national. I guess National French Fry Day, 621 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 2: which I will say of my food weaknesses, I think 622 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: chocolate is number one. French fries are number two. If 623 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: French fries are out in front of me, I will 624 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: eat them. It doesn't matter if I just finished a 625 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: four mile run and I'm trying to be healthy. French 626 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: fries are amazing. They are the most I would argue Clay, 627 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: the most addictive savory food is French fries. 628 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's such a fun debate. I want French fries. 629 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: I would say. The thing that I cannot stop eating 630 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: is potato chips. Probably. I mean, like, I don't know 631 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: anybody on the earth who's ever said I'll have only 632 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: one dorito, So I would say potato chips. But French 633 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: fries are up there. We got a bunch of people 634 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: who want to weigh in what's the best French fries? 635 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: By the way, are you able to eat with your 636 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: gluten stuff French fries from typical fast food restaurants. 637 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: It depends McDonald's has gluten in their French fries, which 638 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 2: is just horrifying. And why I hate McDonald's because they 639 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: put some kind of a wheat based something in their 640 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: in their oil in the in the fry. I don't know, 641 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: they do something. Usually I can eat them. I can 642 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: eat in and out French fries, which I will say 643 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 2: are not that good, which is a shame because the 644 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 2: inter and out Burger I think is amazing. I probably 645 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: go shakeshack on the fries over in and out usually 646 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: I can eat them. 647 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's interesting. I had Shakeshack yesterday. They were 648 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 1: great McDonald's fries. I love Windy's fries. There's not anybody 649 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't like. I'm not a big fan of the 650 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: curly fries. So sorry for all the RB's fans out there. 651 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 2: But one thing with a restaurant, it always has to 652 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: be hand They got to do the handcut fries. A 653 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: lot of places bring the stuff in from the outside 654 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: and it's just not the same. I'm just it's not 655 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 2: that hard to handcut the fries. 656 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 3: I'm just saying. 657 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: We've been talking about, by the way, potential ways to 658 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: defind establishment anti establishment candidate.
