00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Congrats to Seattle, the Seahawks beating down bucks

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: beloved New England Patriots in a Super Bowl that was,

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: according to my eighty one believe he's eighty one, eighty

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: one year old dad, the most boring super Bowl top

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: to bottom that he has watched in his life. From

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: the game to the halftime show and beyond, it was

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: not particularly enticing. Maybe the highlight my beloved Backstreet Boys

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: stealing the day. Also, I understand sources have told me

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: that the family of Buck Sexton himself even has a

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: member traveling to the Backstreet Boys show. For those of

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: you out there who remember that conversation, I was at

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: dinner and my sister with family, and my sister in

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: law was outraged at my assertion that nobody really goes

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: to see the Backstreet Boys anymore, because she is, as

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: we speak, a holder of Backstreet Boy at the Sphere

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: tickets and it is heading to Vegas in a matter

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: of days. I had no idea, Clay, I had no idea.

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Inside your own household, nearly buck Sexton finding out that

21
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Backstreet Boys are still dominating the American cultural lands,

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: and they were all right. They were involved in two

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: different ads, if I remember correctly last night. The ads

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: also were really bad. I mean to spend eight million,

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: ten million dollars on these ads and be as boring,

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: pedestrian and lacking in basic memory as many of these were.

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: We'll get into this because I do think culturally we

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: have very few events where everybody in America by and

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: large still shows up and experiences things together. Super Bowl,

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: I would ask, is that I would suggest as almost

31
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: the last major cultural event that everybody shares in real

32
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: time together. Debates can be that in terms of the audience.

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: They produce big NFL events where talk to some about

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics and how I think, frankly disrespectful about

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: a lot of athletes have been. I mean, maybe if

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: award shows a little bit, but there's not very many

37
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: of those anymore. I'm out after this year. I'm out.

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I went to a Super Bowl party. Everyone there was

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: very nice. That was the highlight. The game was boring

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: as hell. The Super Bowl halftime was the whole thing

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: is absurd. Don't make it political. The whole thing was political.

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: You babies, Okay, we're not all We're not all fools.

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: And the game stunk, and these guys are You're not

44
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna watch the super Bowl anymore. You are remiring from

45
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl mowing. I don't imagine that that is a

46
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: very common perspective, but I would imagine that there are

47
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: some some of you probably have already retired. This would

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: have been the only this was the only professional football

49
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: game I watched all year. I'm bringing that number down

50
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: to zero. I'm bringing it down zero. You did get

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: to watch the national championship game in college football in

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: person between Miami and Indiana, so you did get was

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: fed too. Yeah, that the game itself the cultural experience.

54
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's go in to your point on the

55
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: bad Bunny halftime, the bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, Senior bad Bunny.

56
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Here's what I would say, And I don't understand how

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: anyone could disagree with this. You can't have the signature

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: American cultural event of the year be performed in a

59
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: language other than English. I don't know sometimes what Roger

60
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Goodell is thinking. I believe frankly that he's an old

61
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: white guy who is afraid of drawing more attention to

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: his old whiteness, and so he defers far too often

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to people when it comes to brand decisions made by

64
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I just have to say, first of all,

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people is one hundred and twenty

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: million or so that are watching the Super Bowl have

67
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: no idea who Bad Bunny is. And ninety five percent

68
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: probably of the people who are watching the Super Bowl.

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: English is their language, so you can't do a performance

70
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: in a foreign language period. This would not happen. By

71
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: the way, I would say the same thing. I don't

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: know what the biggest sporting event is of Mexico, but

73
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: if the entire halftime show in Mexico were in English,

74
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: I would say that's a swing and miss for Mexico,

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: for Latin American countries, for European countries, for their signature

76
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: cultural event. Now people are gonna say, well, world World

77
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Cups for the whole world. You know, it's different. If

78
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny had been the half to you know, some

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: sort of World Cup performer, I would have said, Okay,

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: foreign language, that makes sense. This is the world of

81
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: soccer is not entirely speaking English. Yes, this was football,

82
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: not football. Yes, and so I think that a lot

83
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: of times because the NFL is so successful, it's run

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: by cowards who are not willing to actually make any

85
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: decisions that should be for the betterment of the sport.

86
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: And I think Roger Goodell is a good example of that.

87
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: I think he completely whipped the only thing positive I'll

88
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: say about the halftime show in general. I've been to

89
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: three Super Bowls. It's really hard to bring the entire

90
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: stage out at halftime and execute it. The actual structure,

91
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: which looked almost like a Broadway play, the way he

92
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: walked through, the fact that the trees were actual peeping.

93
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: The production value, the production value, leave us leave aside.

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know anything that he was singing.

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything but the actual physical If you

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: asked me for a positive, the physical structure, Clay shaves

97
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: his beard down to a mustache, and all of a sudden,

98
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: he's reviewing Broadway. I will say, the physical structure of

99
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: the event, leaving aside the performance itself, was impressive. To

100
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: get that out on the field, to get it done,

101
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: you only have twelve or thirteen minutes, whatever the heck

102
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: it is. But there are a lot of people that

103
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: would have made sense that everybody would have known that

104
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: who would have sung in English? And for people out

105
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: there say, well, it's such a huge part of acknowledging

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Latin culture. I lived in the Caribbean. I love Sam

107
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Juan Old Sam Juan is one of the jewels of

108
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. I've spent more time in Puerto Rico than

109
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people in the United States have.

110
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: We already had Jennifer Lopez, who's sang in English. We

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: had Shakira. It was only a couple of years ago

112
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: that we had a Latin infused performance. I believe it

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: was in Miami, which made sense, Hey, we want someone

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: who has a Latin, you know, infusion to perform in Miami.

115
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I thought Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Miami super

116
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: Bowl was great. We just had that a few years ago.

117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you can say, well, the super Bowl

118
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: has ignored its Hispanic audience. It hasn't at all. And

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: so I think unfortunately the game was so boring, and

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: there were so few actual major cultural signposts that occurred

121
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: in the game, and the commercials were so awful that

122
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: most people are probably talking about the halftime show today. Now,

123
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: congratulations Sam Donald. If you want a really positive story, Buck,

124
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: this guy who got his teeth kicked in, played for

125
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the Jets, everybody said he was a bust, jumped all

126
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: over five different teams, believed in himself, had a good

127
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: year last year with the Vikings, and then wins the

128
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl for the Seattle Seahawks when nobody thought he

129
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: could do it. That is a hell of a story.

130
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: You want a fun story about him. His grandfather Buck

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: was the original Marbleau man. You know those old school commercials,

132
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: A Cowboy and the marble Ok. I can't even say it,

133
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: marl Borough commercials. That was his grandfather. Guy by the

134
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: name of this is a real name, Dick Hammer. Yeah,

135
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: that's his real name, grandfather of Sam Darnold. So that's

136
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: pretty strong Americana back in the day. And Sam Donald

137
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: from just a good by all intents and purposes. Everybody

138
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: loves him. Wasn't a high level recruit, kind of came

139
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: out of nowhere at Southern and now becomes the Super

140
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Bowl champ. He didn't play that well. He played better

141
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: than Drake may He played better than most of the

142
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: people on the offensive side of the ball did for

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: either team, and so as a result, the story is

144
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: primarily bad Bunny, which President Trump ripped and President Trumps

145
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: still unhappy by the way with the kickoff. But I

146
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: just think it was a swing and a miss by

147
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the NFL in their biggest and most important game of

148
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the year. I like I said, my biggest and by

149
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: the way, we're going to get to a lot of

150
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: policy and politics that on the show, including Secretary of

151
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: the Interior Doug Bergham will be with us in the

152
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: second hour. We'll talk the save Act in the third

153
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: hour with the daily callers Ashley brass Field. So we

154
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: got a lot to get into. Plus Clay, I thought

155
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: the most important news of the last twenty four hours,

156
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: including the super Bowl, was this from Trump record stock

157
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: market and national security driven by our great tariffs. I'm

158
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: predicting one hundred thousand on the Dow by the end

159
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: of my term. Remember Trump was right about everything, all caps.

160
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: I hope the United States Supreme Court is watching right now.

161
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this, politics is way more interesting

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: spectator sports than that football game. It's just, no question,

163
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: way more interesting stuff going on than certainly the first

164
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: half of that game play. I was at a child

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: like a kid friendly super Bowl party, So people had

166
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: their two year olds and four year olds and everything there,

167
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll tell you, the whole thing was

168
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: kind of everyone being loud and throwing toys everywhere and

169
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: everything else. Kind of glad they were because the game

170
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: was so boring. At least the kids were keeping us entertained,

171
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, at least the parents were scurrying around chasing

172
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: after them. Not really much going on at all. But

173
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: the stock market is kicking ass America right now under

174
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Trump is doing really well. And I don't know, I

175
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: think that the I just don't think super Bowl was

176
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: a good spectator experience. And the thing about the super

177
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show was, I didn't even watch the commercials.

178
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Everyone told me they're terrible. I don't really care about them.

179
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: They haven't been good in a long time, so I

180
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: expect that that's not something that's going to change to

181
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl halftime show. You know, this was a

182
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: decision made, and it is political, and there were political

183
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: undertones in the performance obviously, like the whole you know,

184
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: holding the flag and like marching together at the end thing,

185
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: and you know, we're very aware of what's going on here.

186
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: I just don't don't make political decisions and then tell

187
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: people who are annoyed by your dumb politic why are

188
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: you making it political? Because they made it political. They

189
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: it's very straightforward, like you, you can't say. This is

190
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: like you know, if you call someone a name and

191
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: then they respond, you go, why are you starting a

192
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: fight with me? No, you started it. They started it

193
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: with this. This wasn't about entertaining everybody. I also think

194
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: that the people who said, oh it was so good,

195
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: so his music sucks, the music is garbage, garbage. The

196
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: performance was garbage. The performance was no good. Nobody has

197
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: any ideas In Spanish. Okay, he's mumbling the most grotesque

198
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: stuff imaginable into them and it's all auto tuned. And also,

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, on I know he's lip syncing, but if

200
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you actually see what he's saying, Clay, it's disgusting. It's

201
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: like that WAP song basically, but on spaniol the whole

202
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: thing is grotesque. It's degeneracy. Why shouldn't even have to

203
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: see him? Oh it's so good, it's Latin culture on display.

204
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: I live in Miami. There's plenty of beautiful Latin culture.

205
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: That was not it okay, And I don't care how

206
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: many people like it. We can all speak the truth.

207
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: I love what was it? What was his name? The

208
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: most annoying politician to come out of Ohio in a

209
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: long time? Kasik?

210
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: Was it?

211
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: Kasik?

212
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

213
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful, beautiful cultural expression or whatever. Oh yeah,

214
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: you're you're really down with it? N Spaniol here, buddy,

215
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: give me a break. This is people that are just

216
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: desperate for the applause from the cool kids. And I

217
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: don't care what the cool kids like anymore. That's the

218
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: show is trash. Also, the cool kids aren't actually that cool,

219
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: because cool when you're bending over backwards to uh support

220
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: whatever the popular thing is from the cultural ascendency to

221
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: the extent it still exists of the left, then I

222
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: think you are actually just a follower, which is the

223
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: most boring thing you can be out there. I will say. Culturally,

224
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: I do wonder the turning point halftime show, the concept

225
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: of doing a different halftime show now. I think partly

226
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: it's going to be a determinant on who the selection

227
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: is going forward to perform as to whether this thing

228
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: continues to grow. You know, for instance, if Nashville gets

229
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, which it is in twenty twenty nine

230
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: or twenty thirty. I would imagine they will have a

231
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: super famous ensemble of country music singers that perform at

232
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl in twenty nine or thirty. I don't

233
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: think there's going to be suddenly a rush for Turning

234
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Point to do an alternative show to that broadcast. So

235
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: I wonder how much this selection of the performer is

236
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: going to impact going forward. I would say they got

237
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: to end this letting Jay Z pick the performer that

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: that was a bend to the knee during twenty twenty

239
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Woke Rock Nation gets paid X number of dollars to pick.

240
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: They got to just go ahead and in that once

241
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: and for all and just. I mean, there's lots of

242
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: people who would love to play at the Super Bowl,

243
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: of a variety of different musical persuasions. Just the problem

244
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: that I think Turning Point runs into with this is

245
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: a little bit like the rebuttal to the State of

246
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: the Union. You're always going to be in a junior

247
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: second place that you're it's not the super Bowl. Yeah, look,

248
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and you're requiring I appreciate the effort. I'm not putting

249
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: them down. I'm just saying you're inherently in a're you're

250
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: the JV team no matter what you do. It's even

251
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: more challenging than that buck because at least in the rebuttal,

252
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: you're on the same channel so people can stay. That's

253
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: true that they have to get people to go to YouTube.

254
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: You have to get them to go to Rumble or

255
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: wherever else. They have to leave there existing. I mean

256
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I put on both so I was like, I just

257
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: want to see them side by side, and it was

258
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: challenging to get them both up and running. We have to,

259
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really think like a response to

260
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: it is necessarily the uh. The answer. We just people

261
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: who love traditional and and like decent and artistically beautiful.

262
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: How about that word beautiful. There's nothing beautiful about that

263
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: halftime perform. I mean some of the women were very

264
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: good looking, but you know, there's nothing like an artistry

265
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: perspective in terms of the music. You say, oh yeah, wow,

266
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: that's really incredible.

267
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

268
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: The fact that it's in Spanish means that they get

269
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: away with the lyrics translations that are going around everywhere.

270
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: It's absolutely disgusting. And there are people who speak Spanish

271
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: in this country and they know what the lyrics are.

272
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: And you know everyone's supposed to think this is okay,

273
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: it's not so, and they can call us nerds all

274
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: day long. But honestly, men, Hollywood, current state of music,

275
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: these people are. These people are degenerates, and I actually

276
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: wear they're just staying like a badge of honor. Like

277
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: the more the more they want to call us nerds,

278
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: and the more they want to say, yeah, that's right,

279
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: people that want to work on like being good citizens, citizens,

280
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: being good people, taking care of their neighbors, being smart,

281
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: being strong, reading books, listening to worthwhile music, understanding the classics,

282
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, being practicing Christians or practicing Jews or whatever,

283
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: and actually trying to be Yeah, that's all silly. Go

284
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: to a bad bunny show that guy's which you should

285
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: really aspire to. I mean, look at all these people,

286
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Look at what they say on social media. They're all morons,

287
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: by the way, They're all idiots, and most of them

288
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: have like a sixth grade reading level at best, that

289
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: we like exalt for their musical artistry and brilliance and everything.

290
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look at it. Look at the letter Kanye

291
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: just put out. Look at all the people that were

292
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: kissing Kanye's butt for all these Kanye is a lunatic.

293
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: People were worshiping this lunatic. Truly even admits he's like, yeah,

294
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, and people like all Kanye's a genius and

295
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: a Winter is like, oh, I'm sitting at the met

296
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: galap with Kanye my friends. Emperor has no clothes. It's

297
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: all trash. It's all trash. Just be confident in that

298
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: and keep listening to this show because this show's cool.

299
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: That's what I got for you. That's my little Ranford.

300
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: That is all right, Old man, old man buck. If

301
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: you're asking me for a positive I gave you the

302
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. And again, the staging of the show with

303
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: my mustache, since I'm a savant when it comes to staging,

304
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: was impressive. Your mustache is amazing. By the way, we

305
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: need a lot of social media here of Clay's mustache today, ever,

306
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: because I think the mustache should be here to stay. Personally,

307
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: we need the grannies of the Midwest to weigh in

308
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: on this one. So Clay tweet out that photo before

309
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: and after. I think the mustache it's very Tom Selleck.

310
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Let's give respect where it's due. It's very Tom Selleck.

311
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: All right, with the rise of AI in deep fakes,

312
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: your online identity is at risk more than ever before.

313
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: FBI's on record letting everyone know that scammers have developed

314
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: a sophisticated method for impersonating your bank. Cyber criminals can

315
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: manipulate AI to populate online search results with fake contact info.

316
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: I just had somebody who got hacked to reach out

317
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: to me over the weekend in DM. I almost clicked

318

Speaker 1: we got that going for us. Which here's the truth, Buck,

331
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know if we did play a back

332
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: bunny song on the rejoin, Like I just I don't

333
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: even have any idea what the guy seeing in addition

334
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: to not being able to understand it, like I remember

335
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: that the only part of that show that I knew

336
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: was I remember that that song Gasolina or whatever it was,

337
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: it was popular back in then. It's not even his

338
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: song from some other guys song. Yeah, but that was

339
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: the only part of it where I was like, oh,

340
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: I remember having heard this before. Again, I live in Miami,

341
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: so I'm exposed to a certain genre of music on

342
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: a regular basis, and I would I think that I

343
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: think that reggaeton may be the worst music in existence. Like,

344
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: as a genre, I think it might be the worst.

345
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: What's up? It's R and B as I have argued before,

346
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, that's that's that is That is a

347
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: We're just gonna that's a bless your heart, Take Clay,

348
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: that's a bless your heart at least just reggaeton, reggaetone

349
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: or however you pronounce it, like reggaeton, reggaeton, whatever, it

350
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: is uh. At least it has a beat that is

351
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: positive and uplifting, whereas R and B is just like

352
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: I want to drown my soul because some relationship I

353
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: had is bad and I'm going to sing about it

354
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: for forty eight consecutive minutes. I just I can't believe

355
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: you throw boys to men under the bus like this.

356
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know it's the end of the road.

357
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: What what? It makes everyone very sad as we get

358
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: into this. I think reggaeton maybe the worst music in existence.

359
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: Don't death metal? You know? Is that really even a genre?

360
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: Though?

361
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I think it's just really bad heavy metal, like a

362
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: heavy metal can be awesome. So this is where I'm

363
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: gonna sound like you. I if it's super loud, I

364
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: just I really don't enjoy it. I'm just like, ah,

365
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: it so loud, like why do why do you want

366
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: to scream at me? Like I don't need like the

367
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: whole death metal thing. Doug Bergham is going to join

368
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: US NOW, and I bet he's never had the previous

369
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: lead in for his for any of his interviews. The

370
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: Death Metal Analysis Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgram with

371
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: US now were Secretary appreciate you, sir, Thank you for

372
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: being here. Let's let's die. Let's talk. Thank thank you,

373
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: thank you, Let's talk.

374
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, is enjoying listening into the commentary.

375
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. Well, we try to do a good show.

376
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: Tell us this the We got a lot of questions

377
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: for you. First up, US oil production, Drill, baby drill.

378
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: The Trump Energy plan bring us up to speed ice

379
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of attention. The overall economy is

380
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attention. Where are we on unlocking

381
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: America's energy potential and bringing us into a twenty first

382
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: century footing for all of the above?

383
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: Well, we're all of the above if it includes affordable, reliable,

384
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: and US secure energy.

385
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: That's the common sense policy of President Trump and drill,

386
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: Baby drill one of his main campaign promises. He's delivered

387
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: on it through a whole of government approach, creating the

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: National Energy Dominance Council. We've got everybody in the cabinet

389
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: basically working to execute.

390
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: To deliver on this. And you know, a year ago,

391
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 3: think of it.

392
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: A year ago there was a Biden ban on LNG

393
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: export facilities.

394
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: Now US number one exporter in the world.

395
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: We've displaced two thirds of Russian gas in Europe taking

396
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: a whack out of their pocketbook. We you know, we've

397
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: got real teeth behind sanctions around the world, which then

398
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: means that China's going to have to start paying the

399
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: full price as opposed to discounted price for oil. And

400
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 2: then back at home, we've dropped the price of gasoline

401
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: at the pump, and of course we've done that dramatically

402
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: in one year, with the record number of drilling permits

403
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: going out, working hard make sure we get the price

404
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: of electricity down, which was driven up by these crazy

405
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 2: climate extremist policies and in parts of our country. So

406
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: that's one area where we've really been really, really delivered on.

407
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: But we've got to keep driving. We got to keep

408
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: driving forward to make sure because we're in a we're

409
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: in an ai arms race with China, and the country

410
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: with the most electricity is going to win. Uh And

411
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: we can be ahead in chips, we can be ahead

412
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: in in software, but if China's crushing us in terms

413
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: of how fast they're bringing electricity online, we've got to

414
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: We've got to get back to America being able to

415
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: build great things, build them quickly. And the energy Energy

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: dominance is also about critical minerals. We can talk about

417
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: that too, But I mean that's another area where we're

418
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: we've got to make up a bunch of lost ground.

419
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: Uh not just drill, baby drill, but we got a

420
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: mind baby mine in this country. And of course, why

421
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: does this matter to your listeners. If you're the car

422
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: you drive, the food you eat, the clothes on your back,

423
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: the whole you heat, everything, everything has got an energy

424
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: component in it. When we bring the price of energy down,

425
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: we're bringing down the price of everything. And when we

426
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: do it American with American energy that improves, that's bringing

427
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: prosperity at home and piece abroad.

428
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: Is the core to the agenity.

429
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: You can't separate national security or a national economy from

430
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: energy policy. President Trump has got it dialed in and

431
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: totally got it figured out and got a great team

432
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: across the board working on it.

433
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: One thing, One thing, Secretary Bergham, I want to ask

434
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: you before I hand over Clay. I thought this was

435
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: really interesting that there's a fund that the US so

436
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: the Trump administration has established to invest in critical minerals.

437
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: And you know, we talk about rare earth, and we

438
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: talk about these things on the policy side. Can you

439
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: discuss a little bit about this. I mean, what is

440
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: the criteria to invest here, what would these investments hopefully do,

441
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: and can we expect this is like this five billion

442
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: dollar fund alongside Orion Resource Partners. I thought this was

443
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: a really interesting story that I read recently in Bloomberg.

444
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, yes, yes, yes, it is Buck and it's again

445
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: when you've got the deal maker in chief and a

446
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: business guy running the country, then you can come up

447
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: with creative solutions.

448
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 3: This is the parallel to what most Americans would know.

449
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: That we've got a US Strategic patroleum Reserve, where we

450
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: had a bank of oil that was owned by the

451
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: federal government to create a buffer in case of a

452
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: time of crisis. We had nothing, you know, relative to

453
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: US strategic critical Minerals reserve, and so we became, like

454
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: most countries in the world, completely dependent on China, whether

455
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: they're doing the mining at home or mining abroad like

456
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: in Africa or Indonesia, they were doing the refining of

457
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: those minerals back in China, they control eighty five to

458
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the refining and then they can

459
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: control the export of those So last year they threatened

460
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 2: to stop the exports of the of the things that

461
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: we need to You don't build a car, build a

462
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: cell phone, all of these things.

463
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: We were within weeks.

464
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: Of shutting down car manufacturing in the US because of

465
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: China's stranglehold on these minerals. In part because we've we've

466
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: spent decades deciding that we were going to get out

467
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: of the mining business in this country, and we've got

468
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 2: to get We've got to get back into get back

469
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: into mining mining in America.

470
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: So what say, okay, get back into mining. I open

471
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: a mind, I'm going to do refinding.

472
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: China comes in, dumps a bunch of that particular metal

473
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: on the market, crushes the price, uh, and you know

474
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: you're you're out of business. This has happened over and

475
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: over in America and around the world where China was

476
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: just using their their illegal trade tactics to try to

477
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: crush new startups and new entries to maintain their their

478
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: their grip on this. So this thing that you're describing,

479
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: in combination with the Club of Nations where this last

480
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: hosted at the State Department.

481
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: JD.

482
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: Marco, Chris Wright, Howard Lutnik, Scott Bessett, myself, everybody involved

483
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: in this thing across the whole of government, over fifty

484
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: nations here wanting to join a club of nations where

485
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: you could trade freely around critical minerals amongst each other

486
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: with a price floor that would then allow the capital

487
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: to start flowing back in this industry protected from the

488
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 2: illegal activities of the trade side. But on the project

489
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: called Project Vault, which is the Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve.

490
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: That was again President Trump, Hey, can we do this

491
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: without tax dollars?

492
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: Yes? Can we go faster if we don't have to

493
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: go through Congress?

494
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Yes, So XM Bank putting up ten billion dollars you

495
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: mentioned to Ryan and others.

496
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: There's other companies that.

497
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: Are stepping in providing equity against that, and so close

498
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: to twelve billion dollars that will then begin the foundation

499
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: of over sixty critical minerals who have sixty different stockpiles

500
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: for all of these minerals that we need to keep

501
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: our industry going, whether it's defense tech, regular tech, or

502
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: whether it's you know, the refrigerator in your home, or

503
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: things you need for new construction, your or your power

504
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: drill you in your shop that your hand power drill,

505
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: those have got magnets that have critical minerals.

506
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 3: So these are everywhere.

507
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: Your cell phone's got forty two different critical minerals in it.

508
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: So this is a great, great solution to ensure that

509
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: America has economic security and can't be can't be controlled

510
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: by China controlling the export of these minerals.

511
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: Secretary of the Interior Doug bergamon with us. Now, so

512
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: many people every time we talk about the price of

513
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: oil and gas, I say, where I live in Tennessee, Hey,

514
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: the price of oil and gas is down significant when

515
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: I go to the gas station. And then inevitably we

516
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: hear from so many people who have the misfortune of

517
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: living in blue states that price of oil and gas

518
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: still very high where they are. I do think this

519
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: is instructive. How much of let's say, let's pick California,

520
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: how much of California and what Californians have to pay

521
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: for oil and gas in their state is a function

522
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: of the policy choices being made in California. And how

523
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: would those policy choices differ, say, with Texas, or Florida

524
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: or Tennessee in terms of just what it costs to

525
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: drive around in your car every day.

526
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: Well, a great example of clay with California. But it's

527
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: it's easily on any given day, it could be fifty percent.

528
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: I mean it could be double.

529
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean if you're paying you know, two dollars and

530
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: forty nine cents in some other state. With common sense policies,

531
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: we have someplace in the country that hunder two bucks

532
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: now for regular gash California regularly five bucks. You can

533
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: go to parts of California, southern California where it's over you.

534
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 3: Know, six or seven and then you say, how is

535
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: that happening.

536
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: Well, these policies, which are driven by climate extremists take

537
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: California right now. California is actually a national security threat

538
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: its policies to the whole country because they have they

539
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: import two thirds, sixty three percent of California's oil is

540
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: being imported from foreign countries as supposed to be provided

541
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: from places, you know, in America by a pipeline, so

542
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: by ship. The number one country that's importing in California

543
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: right now is Iraq.

544
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: They're importing that oil.

545
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: They used to have forty refineries, now they've got eight

546
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: to the eight. Chevron and Valero announced plans to close,

547
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: so they're going down to six refineries.

548
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: So now I'm shipping my oil in from Iraq.

549
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: Around the world paying for that transportation to get it here,

550
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: and then when it gets here, now I can't find

551
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: a refinery because they've shut their shutting down in choking

552
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: refineries with their with their regulations.

553
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: This is the state.

554
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Clay that has the most number of internal combustion vehicles

555
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: in the country. They have more internal combustion vehicles than

556
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: any other state even has vehicles. And they were trying

557
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: to ban these thing, so they're the number one thing.

558
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: So when they say we're going to ban them, they're

559
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: just driving the cost up.

560
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: On their consumers.

561
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: Which is why the two things that states, the two

562
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 2: states like New York and California, which are poster child's

563
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: for climate of stream as they're leading the nation in

564
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: out migration.

565
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: I mean, people can't afford to live there.

566
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: And there's a whole wave of the next generation of

567
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: industry is going to be driven by the price of

568
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: electricity because you aren't going to build You wouldn't build

569
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: a flour mill one hundred years ago in some place

570
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: where wheat cost three times as much. What you need

571
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: to manufacture intelligence is you need electricity. And if electricity

572
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: costs three times as much, if your energy costs for

573
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: transportation or double. No one's going to build manufacturing plants

574
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: there where I got to load it into a truck

575
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: and pay double for my fuel that I do.

576
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: In some other state.

577
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 2: So not only people are out migrating now, capital is

578
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: not flowing into those states. And they used to be like, oh,

579
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: we're New York. You know we're California, They'll just come here. No,

580
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: it is reversing out of those two states. So these

581
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: policies are going to create a tale of like the

582
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: tail of two cities, It's going to be a tale

583
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: of two approaches. And you know, red states with common

584
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: sense energy policies are beginning to see the benefits right

585
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: now in terms of the of growth and low energy

586
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: costs and capital investment.

587
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: I know it's early in twenty twenty six, but you

588
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: have a great background in business in addition to running

589
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: much of American energy policy right now. What do you

590
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: think the GDP is going to look like in twenty

591
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty six as the economic policies of the Trump administration

592
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: come online. What should we expect?

593
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're going to see numbers that we've

594
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: not seen before. Many people in their lifetime haven't seen

595
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: numbers North of five, and that's you know possible. We

596
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: could have been we could have hit there this fall

597
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: already if not for the Schumer you know shut down

598
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: in DC where you shut down the government for forty

599
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: plus days.

600
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: You know, that's an impact.

601
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: But when you lower taxes and lower regulation, uh, and

602
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: then and then speed up permitting.

603
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: I mean people don't talk about permitting.

604
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: There's a trillion and a half dollars with a T

605
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: that's been approved by boards of directors, by companies, by

606
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: small businesses that said, I want to invest this capital

607
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: in America to a project that's going to help move

608
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: things forward, and they can't get their permits done. So

609
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: we've got this like giant log jam of capital that

610
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: could also flow into the flow into the economy in

611
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: the terms of capital investment, uh, you know, meaning new factories,

612
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: new infrastructure, things that we need that benefit and raise

613
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: the productivity of everybody.

614
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: Uh that.

615
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: So I'm expecting the numbers to be big. But then

616
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: when they come, it's just going to be like your

617
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: gas prices. The GDP in some states you know, could

618
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: be seven, you know, six, seven, eight, And then you're

619
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: going to have places like New York and California where

620
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: it might be two percent because because of their high

621
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: their high energy costs. High energy costs slow down economic growth.

622
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: So you know, when we say the GDP of the country,

623
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 2: it's an average of the whole country.

624
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: Again, individual results may vary. Check your zip code.

625
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: Move to a place where they've got common sense policies.

626
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: No doubt, we appreciate all the work. Look forward to

627
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: talking to you again down the line, and thanks for

628
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: the time today.

629
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: Well, and I don't want to impose, but we got

630
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: one thing on sports. I'm not a Seattle Seahawks fan

631
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: nor a Patriots fan. I grew up in eastern North

632
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: Dakota where we were had to suffer through the trauma

633
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: of the Vikings losing four Super Bowls and quick succession.

634
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: But there were two North Dakota State University recent graduates

635
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: on that offensive line of Seattle opening it up for

636
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Walker to be the MVP. And you know, shout out,

637
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: shout out to those Bison for the great job up front.

638
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: No doubt. Didn't the Bison just announce that they're joining

639
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: a new conference. If I'm not mistaken for going forward,

640
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be stepping up play a

641
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: little bit. If I'm not mistaken. I have been very

642
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: successful over the years with North Dakota State.

643
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: Well yes, you know, with the eleven eleven championships in

644
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: the last fifteen years and FCS. They're moving up to

645
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: FBS and they're joining the Mountain West. It was announced

646
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: to announce today, I think officially rumored yesterday.

647
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: But you know, here we go.

648
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be be fun traveling New Hawaii, New Mexico, Wyoming,

649
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: San Jose State, and many more. I think they're gonna

650
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a great a great step up, great conference.

651
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: And some new rivalries to be established.

652
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: No doubt. It's gonna be fun to watch. Appreciate the time.

653
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks you, Clay, Thank you Buck.

654
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: That is Secretary of the Interior, Doug Bert. Great guy.

655
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: I had a breakfast with him recently out here in Nashville.

656
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: Really really impressed. All right, let me hit you with

657
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: a couple of things here. So we've got to break

Speaker 1: home that's gonna make you warmer, it's gonna be softer,

660
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great to sleep on. We've got everything

661
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: Cozy Earth in my home, including the cuddle blanket, which

662
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: my sister tried and said, I got to have one

663
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: of these in memediately didn't even know that they did

00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: get hooked up cozyerth dot com, my name Clay. Do

670
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: it today. A couple of things that well, first of all,

671
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: we're still waiting on the Nancy Guthrie outcome every single

672
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: news station as we begin the third hour of the

673
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: program as covering this as the number one story. We

674
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: have talked about this. It all is speculation because the

675
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: amount of information that we still know is not very substantial.

676
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: Deadline today at I believe five pm Mountain seven pm

677
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: on the East coast of a six million dollar ransom

678
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: to be paid, so we will see what ends up

679
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: happening there. We've talked some about Jeffrey Epstein, we have

680
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: talked some about the Super Bowl. We have talked about

681
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 1: a wide variety of different topics that have popped over

682
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: the weekend. I did want to give you a super

683
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: positive buck and one of our callers is going to

684
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: build on this as well, I would say, and I

685
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: think you probably would sign on. The most consequential boycott

686
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: of a product that any of us have ever seen

687
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: in our lives was what happened to bud Light in

688
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: the wake of their deciding to put a trans influencer

689
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: on a bud Light can during the midst of the

690
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: March madness. The Light brand basically died overnight. Bud Light

691
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: has since been desperate to try to get people to

692
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: drink the beer again, and they essentially have gone back

693
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: to just trying to make funny comedy joke commercials again.

694
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: They've been using Shane Gillis, they had Peyton Manning, they

695
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: had a couple of those during the Super Bowl that

696
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: took place. Did you see the ad for Budweiser with

697
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: the you did not see this ad? Okay, Budweiser had

698
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: the most red blooded, crazy patriotic ad that I have

699
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: seen in a long time. It's a little bit ridiculous,

700
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: but it was a Clydesdale horse, which has been a

701
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: focal point of Budweiser for some time, and it had

702
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: a baby bald eagle that basically was raised riding on

703
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: the back of the Budweiser ad. And it was a

704
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: bald eagle, and it was like an America f Yeah,

705
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: crazy patriotic commercial. I think it is a direct response

706
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: to the collapse of the brand that they decided, you

707
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: know what, America is a good place. We should be

708
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: embracing it more. And I do think it's a direct

709
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: result of the cultural rejection of their woke advertising that

710
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: that happened. And David and Scottsdale, I said, we were

711
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: going to get to some of your calls at the

712
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: top of the third hour. That is I think the

713
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: take that you were going to share. Most of the

714
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: ads were crap. They were not particularly funny or engaging

715
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: or even frankly memorable other than the Backstreet Boys which dominated.

716
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: But David, what you got for us in Scottsdale.

717
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say that was by far the

718
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: best commercial. Who doesn't love freebird, a clidzel and a

719
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 4: bald eagle. It was brilliant, one of the most pro

720
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: America ads I've ever seen.

721
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for the call. I do think that

722
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: that is reflective of the cultural swing. I also got

723
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: this buck. I saw a Danielle Jurinsky posted this on Twitter.

724
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: I run a business, a sports bar JJ's place. Yesterday,

725
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the bar wanted the Turning Point halftime

726
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: show on Interesting. The rest wanted Bad Bunny. To accommodate.

727
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: I put the TVs on half and half the twenty

728
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: percent started canceling the orders, talking, taking to social media,

729
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: calling me racist, being disrespectful to my staff, and leaving

730
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: one star reviews on Google and Yelp. Mind you, the

731
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: eighty percent who wanted the Turning Point halftime show weren't

732
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: happy Bad Bunny stayed on, but they didn't leave me

733
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: a bad review, take to social media, cancel their orders,

734
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: or disrespect my staff. It's become impossible to run a business.

735
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: I support three generations of my family on a sole income,

736
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: try to accommodate everyone. The bar business is not what

737
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: it used to be. Sad Day, This to me, I thought,

738
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: was really representative of the world in which we live now.

739
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: If you wanted the Turning Point halftime show on, you

740
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: were able to track it down, but you weren't going

741
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: to attack someone over having Bad Bunny on. I thought

742
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: that was kind of an interesting window into the world

743
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: in which we live. The left, if they don't don't

744
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: get what they want, tries to destroy you. The right

745
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: just says, by and large, hey we should have options. Yeah,

746
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: of course, Well that's because the left is the is

747
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: the not just the party or even the ideology. It

748
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: is the the ethos, the central ethos is that of

749
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: the malcontent. It's people that are unhappy with things. They

750
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: think they're victims, they think that the world is out

751
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: to get them, they think they're oppressed, whatever it may be.

752
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: And so I wasn't surprised at all when I read that.

753
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: I know it's gone a bit viral online, and it's

754
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: one of those things that you know, you can expect

755
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: the same way that anytime a leftist is upset about

756
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: anything being right wing anywhere, or being even sort of

757
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: conservative or traditional Americana, they're very quick to say they

758
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: want a boycott. And they'll never do that, you know,

759
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: they'll never go to this place again, or they'll never

760
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: buy this product again, whatever it may be, because they

761
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: have no room. There is no space on the left

762
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: for anything other than whatever the hive mind demands, which

763
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity to tell everybody about manufacturing delusion

764
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: claim my book which comes out next week, which is

765
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: all about this, about how the left uses brainwashing and

766
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: doctrination propaganda about you. Please go and get at clanbuck

767
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: dot com your early copy and you will get a

768
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: special for the pre orders. For the pre orders, a

769
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: special video with a former CIA operations officer and myself

770
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: talking about a whole range of intelligence mind control stuff

771
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: including oh yes, we get into MK ultra, we get

772
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: into some of that stuff. So indeed, sorry Clay for

773
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: the shameless plug, but it is in fact the case

774
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: that the leftists are always going to be like this.

775
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: They're always going to be intolerant of anything that isn't

776
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: what they want. There's a sort of babyishness that I

777
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: think is at the heart of it as well. And

778
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, there's this idea that we have to have this,

779
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: like the super Bowl has to be like a celebration

780
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: of Puerto Rico or something. No, actually it didn't have to.

781
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: Why the super Bowl should just be about entertaining the

782
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: one hundred million people that are watching, Like, we don't

783
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: actually need this to be like Puerto Rico History Month

784
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: or something like We've had enough. We get it. If

785
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: the super Bowl had been in Puerto Rico, that might

786
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: make sense. It wasn't. And I love Puerto Rico. I've

787
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: spent more time in Puerto Rico than ninety nine percent

788
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: of the people probably out there in this audience listening

789
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: right now. I've lived in the Caribe. I even Buck,

790
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: back in the day took salsa dance lessons lessons with

791
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: my wife Laura and went salsaed down dancing in old

792
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: San Juan on a weekend trip. Yes, Buck is stunned.

793
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: Lara is, Lara is in the I was just ninety

794
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: nine point nine nine nine percentile for excellent dancers. Like

795
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: our next, our next video, or rather our next forget

796
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: about steaks, our next bet. There's gonna have to be

797
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: a dance challenge and you're gonna have to salsa dance

798
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: and post it on your social is what's gonna have

799
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: to happen here, As Laura, I want the full thing.

800
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: I want rose in the mouth. I want the flowy sleeves,

801
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: you know that, the super tight like gaucho pants or whatever.

802
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: I want the whole thing, man, I want it all.

803
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: Lara wanted because we were in the Caribbean. We were

804
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: living in the Caribbean at the time. She wanted us

805
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: to take salsa dancing lessons together. So we had a

806
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican salsa dance instructor. I don't know. We went

807
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: once a week or something, and then we went out

808
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: outsal sed dancing in Puerto Rico State and old Sam Juan.

809
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: I love Puerto Rico. It's beautiful country, one of the

810
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: most beautiful places in the world. But the super Bowl

811
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: should be halftime shows should be an English like I

812
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: don't even see that as being controversial, but we got

813
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: some talkbacks. I always love that. Can I just say something,

814
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: We have a lot of Asian Americans in America, in

815
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: this country with a lot of Asian Americans, a lot

816
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: of Chapanese Americans. Should the Super Bowl next year feature

817
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: a Chinese pop band to show? Do you know, to

818
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: pay homage to like the contributions of the China So

819
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing will be in Mandarin? Is that where

820
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: we want to go? I'm just wondering why not? By

821
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: the way, that want to be probably would love it

822
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: because they want TV rights in China, So like, let's

823
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: just go for it. Let's just make this the new thing.

824
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna unite the country by dividing the country, that's

825
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: the problem. I think it would probably be Korean k pop,

826
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: which is I understand, very very popular right now. The

827
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl halftime show should not be in Korean like that.

828
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: That is not I don't think. I don't think that's

829
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: a smart play. I don't think the way that Korea

830
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: is whatever the biggest sporting event in Korea is, I

831
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: have no earthly idea like it should. I don't think

832
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: that it should be in English like I would. I

833
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: would think that was a bad look if the goal

834
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: is to have every Korean in South Korea. Who knows

835
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: what the most popular thing in North Korea is. But

836
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that it should be in English since

837
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: we're in like show and Tell and sharing time here,

838
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, Claire, I recently tried paddle or padel if

839
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: you want to go with the more Latin. I played

840
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: for the first time. I'm playing again today. This is

841
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: very popular in Latin America and in Spain. Is this

842
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: aversion of what is this aversion of?

843
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: Like?

844
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: How would it is it? It's I've seen a lot

845
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: of people talking about like a cross between I don't

846
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: know maybe like racquetball and squash, and it's something like

847
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: it's somewhere. It's like if squash and tennis had a baby. Maybe,

848
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little bit, but it's really for

849
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: people who want to have the sort of social interaction

850
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: of tennis without having to learn how to play tennis,

851
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: is what I would say. Having done both, that's where

852
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: I would say it is. It's different. That's the thing

853
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: that's so popular now that is like, uh, podell oh,

854
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: you're going a pickleball pickle How does it compare to pickleball?

855
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: Pickle ball is for senior citizens, which is cool. By

856
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: the way, it's cool you play pickleball with your cold

857
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: nineteen eleven. When you go to the range, you're good

858
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: to go. Like that's the way it's supposed to be.

859
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: The pickleballs for the walkers to collect near the pickle

860
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: ball court. Pickle ball is just it's for senior citizens.

861
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: When I'm a senior citizen, I'll play pickleball. It's lovely.

862
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: So padel is more physically engaging than pickle pidell is

863
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: pickleball for people who drive around on vespas and drink

864
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: very small coffees, don't I don't know all that. I've

865
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: seen people playing all these different sports. But I will

866
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: play this because if you want to reach out and

867
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: you want to, by the way, you're gonna get ripped

868
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: for that take. And I don't even have enough knowledge

869
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: of it to know. I just know pickle all community

870
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: is going to come for you with their paddles and

871
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: their uh and they're you know, definitely more scared of

872
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: nineteen eleven called nineteen eleven community. But pick a ball community, yes,

873
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: they they bite in the kick Brad from Raleigh Durham

874
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: says we're racist. Cut d a lot of times with.

875
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 4: Your guys, Gilia rant, did you sound racist?

876
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: Man?

877
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 3: You really do.

878
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: The whole thing with bad Money was about the history

879
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: of Puerto Rico. I mean, come on, man, so what

880
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: what what?

881
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 4: What?

882
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: What does it sound? I don't like the music. Why

883
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: does it sound racist? I don't understand. Also, saying it

884
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: should be in English is not racist, Like English is

885
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: the language of the country. If I went to Japan

886
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, sumo wrestling, if they

887
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: have halftime shows or the baseball at Japanese Baseball, they

888
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: should only do it in English, or they should only

889
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: do the halftime shows in Chinese. I would think that

890
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: would probably make the average Japanese sports fan not enjoy

891
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 1: it as much as they otherwise could. If your goal

892
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: is to put on something that over one hundred million

893
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: people will enjoy, my suggestion would be you should do

894
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: it in the language that most of the people watching

895
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: are watching in. You know, like, regardless of what your

896
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: background is, you should be able to understand what someone

897
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: is saying. That's the foundation of communication. So I don't

898
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 1: even understand the whole I understand that everybody who wants

899
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: to try to attack people immediately says it's racist, But

900
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't even understand how it's racist to say I

901
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: think that major American cultural institutions should speak English. I

902
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: told you before I confided in you, and then you

903
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: shared it with a few million people that I work

904
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: out listening to Creed. Still, that's okay, that's okay. Now

905
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: we have, for example, a very robust audience of Cuban

906
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: Americans down here in South Florida who listened to the show.

907
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: I know because they give me the thumbs up in

908
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: a wink whenever I see them in public. So whatever,

909
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: and there are people right if they want to make

910
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: fun of Creed. That's okay. If they want to say

911
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: that Creed is is gringo's slop, I'm not gonna I'm

912
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: not gonna take that Personally. I think they're wrong. But

913
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: you see what I mean. You're allowed to not like

914
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: a musical actor, a musical band, you know, or even

915
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: a genre, and that doesn't make you a bad person,

916
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make you a racist in any direction. And I

917
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: don't like that people do this thing where they try

918
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: to make it that because it's just lazy. It's just

919
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: lazy thinking it's better. Well, the think it's a celebration

920
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: of the history of Puerto Rico. The game was in

921
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, Like, why are we celebrating Puerto Rico

922
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl? Why are we celebrating New Hampshire

923
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl? I mean, who cares? This is

924
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Why are we celebrating Papua New Guinea at

925
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl?

926
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 3: Like?

927
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: What are we doing here, folks?

928
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

929
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: And look I said this earlier. The game in Miami

930
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 1: had Shakira and Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Lopez celebrated Puerto

931
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: Rico was six years ago, but it was in Miami.

932
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: It actually made sense that you would do a Latin

933
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: infused celebrate of South Florida culture writ large, and that's

934
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: the Miami sourceover artists with huge global appeal In English,

935
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: a bunny is not popular outside of Latin. But to

936
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: your point, they went to San Francisco to do it,

937
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 1: which makes even less sense. Also, look, the reason people

938
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: say something's racist is not to actually have an argument.

939
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: It's to end in argument, because the idea is once

940
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: you say that, it's the worst thing that you can say,

941
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: and then the argument turns into well, I'm not racist,

942
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: instead of it being an argument about the underlying aspects

943
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: of the dispute in the first place. My argument to

944
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: you would be the first person to say that's racist

945
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: is actually just acknowledging that they've lost the underlying dispute

946
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: because they're having to go to just add hominem attack.

947
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: By the way, but I wanted to play that because

948
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: he was angry and he wanted to cause racist and

949
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, try to share all perspectives. When we come back,

950
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: we'll take some more of your calls. We'll continue to interact.

951
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: We're going to have Ashley Brassfield on at the bottom

952
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: of the hour. But when trad strikes. The Tunnel the

953
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation honors America's heroes and their families, like United

954
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: States Army specialist Andy Kingsley. Andy served our nation with

955
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: honors part of the eighty second Airborne Division. Throughout his

956
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: distinguished career, he received various awards and decorations, including Purple Heart.

957
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: But while Andy was deployed, he was severely injured. The

958
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: incident resulted in the loss of his right leg, partial vision, loss,

959
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: a traumatic brain injury, and more. He spent over a

960
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 1: year at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center learning how

961
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: to navigate life with his injuries. Living with severe combat

962
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: injuries can make even life's daily tasks challenging. That's why

963
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: receiving a specially adapted mortgage free smart home from Tunnel

964
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: to Towers has been life changing for Andy. It allows

965
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: him to live with greater independence and dignity. This is

966
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: the power of giving to Tunnel to Towers. Many more

967
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: heroes like Andy kneeds your support. Donate eleven dollars a

968
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: month to Tunnel to Towers at t TOWO t dot org.

969
00:50:54,600 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: That's t the number two t dot Org. We're joined

970
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: by Ashley Brassfield. She is a reporter at the Daily Calle,

971
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: she's got a peace out today. Senate Republicans have the

972
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: power to force Democrats to filibuster voter id so why

973
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: don't they? Ashley, Welcome to the program. Great to have

974
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: you on.

975
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.

976
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this. We've discussed the Save Act

977
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: a little bit before. Democrats hate election security. Republicans aren't

978
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: going to get this thing through, it seems, but why

979
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: not force the Democrat's hand and show everybody on the

980
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: record that Democrats, like I said, hate election security.

981
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly right, and I think that the talking

982
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 6: filibuster here. But Senator Mike Lee, who's sponsored this Save

983
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 6: America Act, he's put forth the idea that this talking

984
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 6: filibuster that hasn't really been utilized in modern history except

985
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 6: for back in the day in nineteen fifty seven when

986
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 6: Strong Thurman was filibustering the Civil Rights Act, that this

987
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 6: was something that was used often, and they can bring

988
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 6: it back for the Save of America Act to get

989
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 6: election integrity legislation across the board here. And what this does,

990
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 6: I mean, it really buys the publicans time as well

991
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 6: to get a lot more people on board to sponsor

992
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 6: this legislation, get the votes in place they would need

993
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 6: during that time when the Democrats of philibuster, and I

994
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 6: think a lot of Americans know this themselves, that you

995
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 6: know Senators.

996
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 5: Congressman, they tend to be lazy.

997
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 6: This would require a lot of time, a lot of standing,

998
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 6: a lot of talking.

999
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 5: Something they don't love to do.

1000
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 6: But this is one of those options that they could utilize,

1001
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 6: especially with Leader Thun in charge and he could lead

1002
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 6: this way.

1003
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Is there any significance that John Fetterman has come out

1004
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: as a Democrat and said voter ID makes sense. Is

1005
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: there any other hope for Democrats support? I think that

1006
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: would get us to fifty four if my math is correct.

1007
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: But to your point, you need to get to sixty

1008
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: to kind of really get anything done in the Senate.

1009
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: Any other Democrats, maybe some of those that are in

1010
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: states that Trump won, potentially considering.

1011
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 6: This decision, Yeah, I mean I think that this will

1012
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 6: allow the more time to get on board. I mean

1013
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 6: this could last for weeks if you did the talking, Philibuster.

1014
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 6: I think the argument here with Thune is could we

1015
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 6: be doing other things.

1016
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 5: With other legislation?

1017
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 6: I know, when he was speaking last week, he talked

1018
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 6: about a highway bill, a farm bill. But this is

1019
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 6: the legislation that the President's been talking about since the

1020
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 6: campaign trail election integrity, and we saw in the twenty

1021
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 6: twenty election. I was a Georgia resident at the time.

1022
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 6: We saw the aftermath of that. So I do think

1023
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 6: that this is a popular discussion amongst Democrats as well.

1024
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 6: I think abound eighty percent agree with this legislation. The

1025
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 6: President said it to our reporter at the White House

1026
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 6: the other day, Brigan Reese, that eighty.

1027
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 5: Percent of Democrats they support this.

1028
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 6: So it's really just really just waiting to play the

1029
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 6: game with the Democrats to see if Philip cave or not,

1030
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 6: and then you know, kind of winning the pr war here.

1031
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 1: You know. Actually we've been talking a fair bit today

1032
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: about sports. Clay loves the sports. He is a sports

1033
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: ball officionado. You don't just like the sports in theory.

1034
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: You were a Division I athlete at the University of

1035
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: South Carolina, so you've actually been been to NCAA stuff

1036
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: and competed and Buck what is the mascot of the

1037
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: University of South Carolina. That's a great lead in is

1038
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: there any chance that you know zero zero. Oh, it's

1039
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: a fun one, Ashley. I'll let you tell everyone.

1040
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 6: Well, we are the game Cocks. But you know the

1041
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 6: short version is go Cox. That's of course what we say.

1042
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: I thought, yes, that's the cheer at South Carolina.

1043
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 5: Yes, well, yes, well we are very proud. I'm a

1044
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 5: very proud to a cock.

1045
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: He don't be. Now, I want to ask you about

1046
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: these skiers. These skiers, though, Trump very unhappy with them,

1047
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: I think rightly. So they're getting asked about whether they

1048
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: have mixed feelings about America competing rather on behalf of

1049
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: America at the Winter Olympics. I just feel like they

1050
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: should have mixed feelings about the fact that so few

1051
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: people actually want to watch skiing in the first place,

1052
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,760
Speaker 1: that maybe they shouldn't be jerks.

1053
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 6: What do you think, Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

1054
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 6: I mean, this is I think the winner Olympics in

1055
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 6: the Olympics in general. I mean, I played beach volleyball.

1056
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 6: That's the most watched sport in the Olympics in general.

1057
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 6: So this is Winter Olympics now. But I think that

1058
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 6: the skiers, you know, getting asked the question, are they worried.

1059
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 5: To compete on the behalf of the United States. The

1060
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 5: question itself in general, why are you even asking that?

1061
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that politics and sports obviously there's

1062
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 6: some pervergence. We saw that last night with the Super

1063
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 6: Bowl convert performance. But they're representing their country, They've worked

1064
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 6: their entire lives to get there. Just why are you

1065
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 6: even asking that in the first place? To them that

1066
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 6: you should be asking them about, you know, their wins,

1067
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 6: how they're willing to compete, any other question than that.

1068
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: Actually, I think that's really important and we may dive

1069
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: into this tomorrow because the Winter Olympics will become more

1070
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: of the story, I think in the wake of the

1071
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ending. But I did through groc which I

1072
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 1: love using. This is an example of left wing sports

1073
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: media turning this into a story. And for people out

1074
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: there who don't know, during Biden, Clinton and Obama twenty years,

1075
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: there were no questions about politics that were asked of

1076
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: American athletes. Only when Trump has been in office Trump

1077
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: one point zero and Trump two point zero have sports

1078
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: media decided, oh, we should ask I don't know, a

1079
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: downhill skier what he or she thinks about American immigration policy.

1080
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: And then when they get an answer, they turn it

1081
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: into the narrative that this is so controversial that everybody

1082
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: has to talk about it. You were an athlete at

1083
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: the University of South Carolina. I've actually spoken to a

1084
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: lot of athletes in my career as a media guy

1085
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: to try to tell them, Hey, be careful of media

1086
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: using you to tell the story that they want to tell.

1087
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: Not you're not even really aware of how you're being used.

1088
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm curious when you were at South Carolina, did they

1089
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 1: You may not have gotten a ton of questions in volleyball,

1090
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: certainly basketball and football would get the majority of questions

1091
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: from media, But did you guys have training like that,

1092
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of athletes are becoming aware

1093
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: that it's not really what they're being saying. They're using

1094
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: you as a proxy. The sports media are to say

1095
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: what they want to say, but using your voice.

1096
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 6: No, I think that's exactly right, and we had a

1097
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 6: little media training to answer your question. I think the

1098
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: two most significant things from my time at University of

1099
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 6: South Carolina that I recall is I was there from

1100
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one, and during that period

1101
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 6: of time, obviously COVID hit I was forced to spin

1102
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 6: in tubes for a year and a half and I

1103
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 6: was never vaccinated. There was kind of pressure campaigns internally

1104
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 6: that you know, were put on us those that were

1105
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 6: not vaccinated at the time. But another thing that was

1106
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 6: taking place was Black Lives Matter. And to give you

1107
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 6: a perspective beach volleyball. If you probably look at the

1108
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 6: demographics across the board for Division one beach volleyball, I

1109
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 6: guarantee majority of the girls that are involved in it

1110
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 6: are caught occasion at least. And the Black Lives Matter

1111
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 6: we all had to sit down to talk about if

1112
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 6: we're going to put a Black Lives Matter I guess

1113
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 6: patch under our SEC patch on our jerseys, and none

1114
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 6: of our team, for perspective, were black, and so it's

1115
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 6: virtue signaling. And the fact that we all had to

1116
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 6: sit down have a meeting to talk about if we

1117
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 6: were all okay with that just a waste of time,

1118
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 6: not something sports related, not academic related, even it's really those.

1119
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 5: Were the two most significant things that I recall.

1120
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 6: I mean, the spitting in the tubes and then of

1121
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 6: course the Black Lives Matter patch.

1122
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: You and Riley Gaines were both in office. Riley does

1123
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of work with us at out Kick, and

1124
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: they had the same pressure they put on her. She

1125
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: was a swimmer at the University of Kentucky. You just

1126
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: mentioned that you were in college in twenty twenty. That

1127
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: makes you way younger than either Buck or myself. So

1128
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: the super Bowl halftime show is it? What is your take?

1129
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, way younger than you, like younger than me,

1130
00:58:55,960 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, go ahead, all right. So my take is,

1131
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think, that it's not crazy to

1132
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: want the super Bowl halftime show to be in English,

1133
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: since most people in America speak English. But what was

1134
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: your overall assessment? You can love it, you can hate it.

1135
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 1: I presume that you watched of the super Bowl halftime show.

1136
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 5: Yes, I definitely tuned in.

1137
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 6: There's a lot of controversy. I've had to comment about

1138
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 6: it on other news outlets of course as well, So

1139
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 6: I was very interested. And of course, after his Grammy

1140
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 6: Is acceptance speech, Bad Bunny talking about ice and then

1141
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 6: Roger Goodell coming out saying, oh, it's not going to

1142
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 6: be political, I was skeptical to see if that would

1143
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 6: be actually true. And I mean, for the most part,

1144
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 6: I think that Bad Bunny was not political in this

1145
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 6: performance besides saying, you know, God bless America as well

1146
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 6: as other Latin American countries at the time. I think

1147
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 6: one of the main things, like you said that the

1148
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 6: obvious was nothing was in English besides Lady Gaga's performance.

1149
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 6: But I think the main difference is that I noticed

1150
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 6: of Kendrick Lamar's performance last year at the Super Bowl

1151
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 6: and this performance is there was much more diversity, which

1152
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 6: I know that's a lefty term, but I did notice

1153
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 6: that the overall stage presence and I guess the setup

1154
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 6: of the actual performance, it was impressive in my opinion,

1155
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 6: but I do think there's something to be said if

1156
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 6: you're going to try and attract a broader audience, and

1157
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 6: this is American football game. I think the NFL for

1158
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 6: a long time has tried to play the card in

1159
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 6: the marketing scheme that they are going to be FIFA,

1160
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 6: that they want this worldwide presence. They have games in Germany,

1161
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 6: Mexico City and all these things, so they try to

1162
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 6: take that on. And yes, Bad Money is pretty well

1163
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 6: known amongst my generation. I do think there was a

1164
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 6: lot of people that listen to him. But if you're

1165
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 6: looking at the broader NFL audience, are they actually marketing

1166
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 6: to that audience.

1167
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 5: I do not think they are here. The performance itself ended.

1168
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 6: Up being okay, but I do think that they have

1169
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 6: an issue with knowing their audience and what their audience wants.

1170
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: What is the worst genre of music, Ashley, I'm gonna.

1171
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 5: Have to go scream out. I feel like it's scream Oh.

1172
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. Take us into

1173
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: this gen z world. What is this screamo?

1174
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I love a good classic rock. I

1175
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 5: love the led Zeppelin. I'm a big country music fan.

1176
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 6: I'm from the Southeast, and I think scream o is

1177
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 6: the type of rock music where it's just like complete screaming,

1178
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 6: if you know what I mean.

1179
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Like Harry Door is what old people Okay, yes, no, no, no, no.

1180
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Hair Metal is like like guns n' Roses and Motley Crew.

1181
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: That's not she's talking about. More like like the like

1182
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: the death metal where they like Okay, sorry, what I

1183
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: want to say? Okay, sorry hair metal? Hair metal is amazing.

1184
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna utterly discussed. Sorry, I bet I meant

1185
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: death metal, not hair metal. Sorry. Sorry, I don't want

1186
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't want your hate fail.

1187
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 6: No, I I enjoy some led Zeppelin, a C D

1188
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 6: see all the classic rock, but that's a little too

1189
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 6: far for me.

1190
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 5: You know some rap. It all sounds the same nowadays,

1191
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 5: so we'll put that in that category as well.

1192
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: Also, did you think the NFL game was so boring

1193
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: that people should just stop watching the NFL because it's

1194
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: usually so boring. I don't know. That's where I come

1195
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: out on this.

1196
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 6: That's a good point, and I know a lot of

1197
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 6: Patriots fans that are just really disappointed today. But I mean,

1198
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 6: I was really wanting a good game here and we

1199
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 6: didn't get one, and I think they were saying that bad.

1200
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 5: Bunny got more yards in the first half than.

1201
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: That was a patre line. That was a very by

1202
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the way book, the postseason NFL, that wild card round

1203
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: in the divisional round were about as good as football

1204
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: could get. Any One play could have changed the outcome.

1205
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: This was a really poor game, but the postseason up

1206
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: till now was pretty good. So significant significant question here,

1207
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: And we're talking to to Ashley Brassfield as we go forward.

1208
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: What do you think there's so much talk I wrote

1209
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: a book about it about young people supporting President Trump

1210
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: and the fact that culturally many people have begun to

1211
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: reject the left. We're now in the year two. What

1212
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: would you say the vibe of people around your age

1213
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: in America is today? Is that same momentum existing? Has

1214
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: it changed? Where is you know, the twenty five year

1215
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: old in America today? Based on your.

1216
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 5: Experience, Yeah, I'm going to go with it's changed.

1217
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 6: And I know a lot of people are not going

1218
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 6: to want to hear that, but I do think it

1219
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 6: has changed. And I know it was on with a

1220
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 6: Buck on his podcast talking about this not too long

1221
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 6: ago of the elections in November. What we were seeing

1222
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 6: with Mom Donnie, and I think that was the tell

1223
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 6: all sign there that what was happening with affordability that

1224
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 6: they didn't like that word, so they changed it over

1225
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 6: to pricing. And now the President's going to be on

1226
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 6: the road every week this year going into the midterms

1227
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 6: to help Republicans when be due to the fact that

1228
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 6: the messaging is just.

1229
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 5: Really not there on that domestic issue.

1230
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 6: Another thing with my generation, we lived through the last

1231
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five years of war in the Middle East,

1232
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 6: very exhausted about the foreign policy issues.

1233
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 5: I think they're sick of it.

1234
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 6: They want the focus to be on that domestic policy,

1235
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 6: feeling that affordability, the pricing back in their pockets palpably,

1236
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 6: and you know there's reasoning there that it's going to

1237
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 6: kick in twenty twenty six with the big Beautiful bill.

1238
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 6: But also I cover a lot of Congress, and what

1239
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 6: you're seeing from Congress currently is one of the most

1240
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 6: unsuccessful congresses in the first year of a president's term,

1241
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 6: where they pass less than forty bills. So I think

1242
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 6: that there is this essence of disappointment from gen Z currently,

1243
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 6: and I do think that they feel that from the

1244
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 6: right President Trump was able to take the cultural issues.

1245
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 5: Going on these podcasts.

1246
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 6: I mean, he really took the bull by the horns

1247
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, and I think it's kind of

1248
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 6: sloped down on our generation since then. They're much more

1249
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 6: moderate in certain ways when it comes to cultural aspects,

1250
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 6: and I think even the President's talks about the bad

1251
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 6: Bunny performance, I don't know if it's going to resonate

1252
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 6: very well. Sometimes there's been moments where I question it myself,

1253
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 6: But I do think there's still hope if they can

1254
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 6: get those affordability and domestic issues down. But I do

1255
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 6: think there is a lot of people in my generation

1256
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 6: that have kind of gone down the slope of disappointment

1257
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 6: to an extent.

1258
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: Well, before we let you go, Taylor Swift, is she

1259
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: your generation's Beatles? Because this is an outrageous claim that

1260
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: somebody has made recently on this show.

1261
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 5: Who made that? Who made that claim?

1262
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: That would be Clay Course, a brilliant man by the

1263
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: name of Travis.

1264
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 5: Well, that's the question.

1265
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 6: Would you have rather had bad Taylor Swift instead of

1266
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 6: bad Bunny Class.

1267
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: A billion percent more? Taylor Swift is the Beatles of

1268
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the twenty first century. Look at the skilled pivot from

1269
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the Capitol Hill reporter over here. You notice that she's

1270
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: not taking that hand grenade. She's like, well, let's just

1271
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: move into another version of answering the question. I like that.

1272
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: That was good.

1273
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not the biggest Swift in myself, But

1274
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 6: at the same time, Taylor Swift is an extremely talented performer.

1275
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 6: I may not agree with her politics in many ways,

1276
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 6: but she is very talented. I think her last tour,

1277
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 6: the number she did when it came to you know,

1278
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 6: selling tickets worldwide, it shows that she really has gain

1279
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 6: momentum with the female you know gen z demographic I

1280
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 6: mean she's been around since I was probably eight years old.

1281
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 5: I went to a Taylor Swift concert, so I.

1282
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 6: Will say the amount of time she's put in, she's

1283
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 6: become very successful.

1284
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 5: So to extent I agree with you there.

1285
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 6: I think that as far as music skill, the Beatles

1286
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 6: might have something on her.

1287
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 5: But we'll see.

1288
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see Clay, We'll see Ashley Brassfield Daily Caller.

1289
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Great to have your Ashley. We'll talk to you soon,

1290
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:14,080

Speaker 5: Thank you.
