11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: of things that we let it laid out for everybody,

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: and we can jump into some of them.

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Right now. We're going to talk.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: About the data on pet owning and voting. I'm just

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: throwing it out there. I think fun I think if

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: you own a pet tarantula, you're voting Jill Stein. I

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: don't know why, but that just seems right to me.

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: You know, I think if you're somebody who has a

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: pet snake, you're definitely voting left of center. I don't know,

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna some of ours. We have snake owners in

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: the in our audience right now, they're gonna they're gonna

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: come at me on that one.

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: Foranceula owners, I don't care. You can come to me

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: all day.

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: There's some good people who own snakes, but they they

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: are they're very particular about the rep House. Anyway, we're

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna get into this data. We're gonna get into all

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: this Clay has it ready for us. But first up,

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: just to make sure we're all up to speed on

30
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: all of the news, especially as we're getting into the

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: slow part of the of the news cycle with Christmas

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: and Hanukkah and New Year's and and Buck's birthday gonna

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: be forty How old am I gonna be forty three

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: years old?

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Clay? Wow? My wife her birthday is on Christmas Day.

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: So there's that.

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna be sixty one when your child graduates high school. Yep,

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it, you know, I think it's gonna keep

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: you young.

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: That's good. That's good math, Clay. I just I had

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: a I mean that is like that is a.

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: I might be a grandfather by the time probably, maybe not,

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't know what the math is. Yeah,

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: probably I was twenty sixteen year old boy. I mean,

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: if we're going, if we're going eighteen, you would think,

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but he'll be thirty four. And the boys

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: these days, I mean, you're one then out. I mean, like,

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: men wait a long time to have kids a lot

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: of times now. So so maybe I would like to think, Yes,

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I would like to think I'll be a grandpa with that. Oh,

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: Clay not really helping with my I think I'm getting

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: old thing right now. You know, man, you're gonna have

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: all kinds of back pain when you go to your

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: kids high school graduation. Anyway, Yes, we're very excited about

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: all of that, except for the back pain part. So

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: it's the holiday. The news is gonna be slowing down

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: a bit. One thing we have here just to go

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: go through, so you're up to speed on it. New

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: York Judge Merchan in the Trump hush money case, the

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: most preposterous of the four criminal cases against Donald Trump,

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: which is saying something, but the most preposterous was this

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: New York Alvin Bragg pushed hush money thing. It's not

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: even with the hush money, actually I apologize even that's

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: how it's written here on ABC News George Stephanopolos's place

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: what does Trump call him again, slop Adopoulos. That's pretty great, Nick,

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: and actually super perceptive. Now that he's had to pay

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: a million dollars Trump, can you imagine how angry Slapadopoulos

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: is to have to write that check or set send

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: that wire to Trump. And I'm not kidding when I

70
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: say think about what Trump can do with that money

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: in his presidential library. He can legitimately say, hey, the

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: fake news wing endowed by ABC News, which was forced

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: to pay me fifteen million dollars. He can give George Slapadopoulos,

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: the chair of the fake news era.

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: Inside of that. But yet, I.

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Would not be surprised Buck if there is a major

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: fight inside of ABC News over that settlement. And I

78
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: guarantee you Stepanopoulis did not want to cut that check,

79
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: but Slapadopoulis million dollars into Trump based on his inability

80
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: to correctly say what the civil court jury did in

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: that case, Slavopolis, I would just point out that the

82
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: real case was about a business records and the story.

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: You really have to try to keep this, keep all

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: this straight. Alvin Bragg decided that Donald Trump writing up

85
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: a lawful payment using his own money for something that

86
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: if he had used campaign funds for, would have clearly

87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: then been hit with a campaign finance violation. Using his

88
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: own money for an in total totally lawful nuisance. NDA

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: payment was actually a grand scheme to defraud the American

90
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: voters of their right to know what they should have

91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: known before the election, which therefore made it a felony

92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: because it then touched on federal election law and not

93
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: just local New York law. Honestly, it would be hard

94
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: to come up with a more egregious abuse of legal

95
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: principle and legal plain language than what Alvin Bragg did.

96
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Judge Merchan is not throwing it out. He said that

97
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: the evidence entirely related to unofficial conduct and poses no

98
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the

99
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: executive branch. Thirty four felony counts of falsifying business records

100
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: stacking the counts, which is also unethical, I might add,

101
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: because it's one it's really one act, and as I've

102
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: explained before, this is important for all the prosecutors know this. Theoretically,

103
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: if somebody's passing a joint back and forth, every time

104
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: you've passed, that is a new possession crime. Nobody charges

105
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: you if you're on video, you know what a drug

106
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: dealer or you know, doing drugs or something. No one

107
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: charges you twenty times for one joint. If they're going

108
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: to charge you, which they shouldn't for just a joint,

109
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: but put that aside. If they're going to charge you,

110
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: they just charge you for the one crime. Right, we all,

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: this is what they did thirty four times. Clay, what

112
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: do you think is going on with merchand here? So

113
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Merchant has pushed back sentencing on this case, and I

114
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: think that has been seen as a victory for Donald Trump.

115
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: And I think he's afraid to give Trump too many

116
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: victories inside of New York City. So he's an activist,

117
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: left wing judge. And I actually think this is an

118
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: intriguing court decision in general that has not been very

119
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: discussed because it's Trump and everybody just is focused on Trump.

120
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: But what the Supreme Court said was basically, we can

121
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: distinguish between official and unofficial acts when it comes to

122
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: where the number of presidential power goes.

123
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: And you and I have talked about this for some time.

124
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: If the President of the United States picked up a

125
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: paperweight from the resolute desk and smashed an associate an

126
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: employee in the face with that paperweight, causing a significant injury.

127
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: That would be an unofficial act. In other words, you

128
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: could be charged with assault and battery inside of the

129
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: White House, even though you're the President of the United States.

130
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: If you engaged in that.

131
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: The president let's say, punches his wife or in some

132
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: way engages in a violent act, it's not directly involving

133
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: the presidential acts itself. That's going to matter tremendously for

134
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: every president for the rest of our lives and for

135
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: every president for hundreds of years. They're going to have

136
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: to argue is this an official or unofficial act. The

137
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: challenge with this charge that has been brought in New

138
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: York City, which is holy illegitimate, which I think on

139
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: a legal analysis basis to what you kind of hit

140
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: on Buck, they had to find a second crime in

141
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: order to elevate this from a misdemeanor to a felony.

142
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: I think the hook that they used to do that

143
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: is actually not legal, and I think that's where this

144
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: case is going to get overturned at some point on appeal.

145
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know that I disagree with the concept

146
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: here that this is an unofficial act because it occurred

147
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: before Trump was president of the United States. Now that

148
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: then turns into an actual interesting argument, because Buck, he

149
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: didn't pay until he was president of the United States.

150
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: So this is such a nerdy thing. But when does

151
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: the act itself occur? For purposes of analyzing what is

152
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: official and unofficial acts?

153
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: Is it the.

154
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Agreement to pay which occurred before Trump were president or

155
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: is it the actual payment which occurred after Trump were president.

156
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: This is the kind of thing, Buck, that lawyers sit

157
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: around debating. And if that sounds intriguing to you, and

158
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: you are sixteen years old listening to us right now,

159
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: you're going to love law school, young man or young woman.

160
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: If that makes your eyeballs roll back into your head

161
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: and you think to yourself, oh my goodness, that debate

162
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: sounds awful, then the law might not be for you.

163
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: And regardless, you're probably going to spend a bunch of

164
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: time doing docker view if you're a young lawyer anyway,

165
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: most of the time. But does that make sense to you?

166
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: That it actually to me is kind of a really

167
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: fascinating application of this decision from the Supreme Court, which

168
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have a clear cut answer. I think this case

169
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: is going to get tossed on appeal eventually. I think

170
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the case in Georgia that Fanny Willis brought is total

171
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: garbage and directly implicates presidentential powers. I'm not sure exactly

172
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: whether that's the lynchpin to get it tossed out. This

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: is me being a legal nerd trying to analyze this,

174
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: and that's really what the appeal is going to be.

175
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I believe focused on as it pertains to presidential powers.

176
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: So you're not worried about it, though, No you don't,

177
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think Trump really is. I just think

178
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: he wants the vindication of the case being dismissed because

179
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I think he sees it for what it is, which

180
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: is total BS. And really they're telling you it's total

181
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: BS because they're now not going to have the sentencing

182
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: until twenty twenty nine at the earliest, and they'll just

183
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: push it off to the side. Once Trump's no longer president.

184
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to care about this. You know, I was

185
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: asked it was on her podcast, so I can say

186
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: it wasn't like offline.

187
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: You know, I try to keep confidence. Is Kim Strassel

188
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal.

189
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I did her podcast, and you know, the Wall Street

190
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Journal is obviously very establishment, right of center, establishment Republican.

191
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: It's a great paper. Kim is a fantastic editorial commonist.

192
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: But she asked me about this, this fear of a

193
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: vindictive Trump, or this fear that there will be retribution

194
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: from Trump, And to this, it's funny because I don't

195
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: just dismiss out of hand that there should there need

196
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: to actually be consequences for people who have done some

197
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: of these things. So I would I didn't sit there

198
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and say, oh, no, I don't think Trump is I

199
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna let bygones be bygones with everybody and

200
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: everything is fine. No, I believe that would be unjust.

201
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: I think that would actually be wrong. I think to

202
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: be personally vindictive and to be unconstitutional or unlawful in

203
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: your approach to any American is wrong. But if people

204
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: broke the law, they should pay the price, and you

205
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: know that's their approach to Trump. I bring it up, Clay,

206
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: just because I don't see a way that through the

207
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: law anything can be done about what's going on here

208
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: in New York against Donald Trump. But there need to

209
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: at least be political consequences for it. I mean, there

210
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: has to be. What they've done is so atrocious that

211
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: it cannot be forgotten and forgiven. You know, that's my

212
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: take on it. Well, I think again, the Supreme Court

213
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: decision is going to severely curtail what they did to

214
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Trump because so much of what a president does is

215
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: arguably within the purview of presidential powers. Investigating the outcome

216
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: of an election is definitely within the purview of presidential powers.

217
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Telling your Department of Justice to undertake an investigation is

218
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: certainly within presidential powers. Calling individual, in my opinion, calling

219
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: individual state attorney generals and elections officials and inquiring about

220
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: the legitimacy of their vote count, to me, is clearly

221
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: within the purview of a president. And so I think

222
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: they've made it going forward. The Supreme Court, to their credit,

223
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: has made it much more difficult to bring these kind

224
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: of charges going forward. And I think you would agree,

225
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: and I think most of our audience would agree. The

226
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: president's not above the law. But if you're going to

227
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: charge the president with a crime, it needs to be

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: a crime that doesn't have anything at all to do

229
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: with the execution of his duties as president of the

230
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: United States. If the president got super drunk. I don't

231
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: care who he is, and he got in a car

232
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: and you know, he mowed down three people because he

233
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: was at a you know, a point two oh or

234
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: something on the you know, yeah, I know that you

235
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: actually have you've you've committed real crime with real victims,

236
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: and you need to pay the price for that. I

237
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: don't care who the president is or what the situation

238
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: is around the politics of it. A business records case

239
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: against the president is this is absurd. It's it's absurd.

240
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: There's no other way to say it. And look, I'll

241
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: give you an example of something that would clearly not

242
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: be within presidential powers that has been a scandal in

243
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: recent history, Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky, even though

244
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: it occurred in the oval office, much of the activity

245
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: surrounding it.

246
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: If he had engaged.

247
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: In some sort of criminal act and she had charged

248
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: him with some sort of criminal acts sexual assault, rape,

249
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: whatever it would have been, that could have been investigated

250
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: and pursued against the president of the United States. To

251
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: your point, the president is protected from a lot of

252
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: criminal acts because he doesn't do a lot of things

253
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: that could be criminal in nature. For instance, the president

254
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: can drive a car, So it would be really difficult

255
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: for the president to get a dui and hit anybody.

256
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: And to my knowledge, you know better than me, Buck,

257
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't imagine they let the president have access to guns, right.

258
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think the Secret Service would allow the president

259
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: to like have a handgun around him. I could be wrong.

260
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's funny, that's a funny que. I mean,

261
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: who was the last president to be strapped?

262
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

263
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, while they're president, don't tell me. Teddy Roosevelt

264
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: was the military, and.

265
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: I get it, but yeah, who was the last you

266
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: could you even do it? Right?

267
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Like? If Donald Trump loved guns and he was like, hey,

268
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: I want to carry a firearm on me at all times,

269
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they would let him do

270
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: it because of the danger that he might shoot himself. Again,

271
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: have you ever heard this discussed? I don't know. I

272
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: think it's a fascinating question, but it kind of gets

273
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: into the difficulty of the president committing a lot of

274
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: crimes because they protect him from the ability to do that.

275
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: But we're talking about weapons protecting yourself, and you may

276
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: want to protect your family with non lethal weapons, which

277
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: is what the Pepper Projectile launcher does. Look, we've got

278
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: all these Saber products throughout the house. We've got security

279

Speaker 1: bars on all of the doors in our house, front,

280
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: back doors, everything else. They can stop up to six

281
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pounds of force to get inside of

282
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: your home. What about if you're in the home. We've

283
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: got this too, Pepper, the projectile launcher. It can help

284
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: your family be protected. But it's non lethal. So if

285
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: you're concerned about who might be coming in your house,

286
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: he got teenagers. Do they sneak maybe sometimes in and

287
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: out of the house. Do you go to bed before

288
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: their curfew might be over? You wake up, you look

289
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: over at your phone, you check to see where they are.

290
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you want the Saber Home Defense Launcher has a

291
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: seven projectile capacity forty percent more shots than others, but

292
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: it's non lethal. It's gonna protect you, but it's not

00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: be really entertaining for what you guys are able to

312
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: glean from that, and maybe, just possibly Jade Vance is

313
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: going to be vindicated in some of the data that

314
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: we will be sharing with all of you. There's a

315
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a tease about what the data might

316
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: reflect when it comes to how people voted. Funny reminds

317
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: me of these memes that I'm seeing about how when

318
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: you see a guy walking a doodle, any kind of doodle,

319
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: whether he has a wedding ring or not, just know

320
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: that he's taken.

321
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: It's totally true, totally true.

322
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Every guy that I see with a doodle, it's the

323
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: wife's or the girlfriends now. Not that we don't love

324
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: our doodles guys, but there's no single guys walking around

325
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: with doodles.

326
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it right now.

327
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: If you're an occasional investor or an everyday investor deep

328
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: in the markets, you know that finding good insights, good

329
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: information is always a challenge. That's why Brad Thomas wants

335
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: these followers in the past, I've seen gains greater than

336
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: forty percent a year. Brad is opening membership to his

Speaker 1: new administration moves into the White House. He insists it's

340
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,920

346
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out

347
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: with us. Rolling through the Twoday edition of the program,

348
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: a couple of things that are out there worth paying

349
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: attention to. Again, we've been talking about the fifteen million

350
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: dollar Trump settlement, the impact Trump has filed a bunch

351
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: of different lawsuits against a variety of different media outlets.

352
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: We've also been talking about the judge merchand decision and

353
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he's not going to toss the felony conviction.

354
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: Buck's gonna be back in a sec. He's chasing down

355
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: an issue with his dog ginger, and I wanted to

356
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: hit you with this data point.

357
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: I flagged it.

358
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we'll have some fun with that data

359
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: when buckets backed. But I did flag this this morning

360
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: from the Wall Street Journal. This stat blew my mind.

361
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: It's called why the US is trouncing Europe, and it's

362
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: about why our economic success is so much more substantial

363
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: than everybody in the European Union. And I couldn't believe this.

364
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: While Europe has created the entire European content, has created

365
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: fourteen companies worth more than ten billion dollars in the

366
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: past fifty years. That's got about four hundred billion dollars

367
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: of market value in total.

368
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: All right, So I like to look at the data.

369
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: All of Europe.

370
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: Fourteen companies worth more than ten billion in the past

371
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: fifty years. What about America? Americans have created two hundred

372
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: and fifty companies worth ten billion dollars or more, and

373
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: those companies are now worth thirty trillion dollars. So the

374
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: argument in this in this piece is that Americans are

375
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: willing to take risks when it comes to creating new businesses,

376
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: and that our nation creates the structure under which those

377
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: new businesses can be able to grow. But that staggered

378
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: me when you consider all of Europe has created about

379
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: four hundred billion dollars in market value, the United States

380
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: in the last fifty years has created thirty trillion. So

381
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm not great at math, but we are about sixty

382
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: times as productive when it comes to using our economic

383
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: structure to create something new, and I do think it's

384
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: worth contemplating and thinking about what that says about us

385
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: in a larger context. It is that America has always

386
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: embraced risk and it's a huge part of our DNA

387
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: as a nation. And if you think about why that

388
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: would be was pretty risky back in the day to

389
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: decide that you were going to get on a ship

390
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: and leave behind everything that you had ever seen before

391
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: and come to a new land. And I would submit

392
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: to you that the culture of America rewards risk taking

393
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and is ingrained with risk takers more than almost any

394
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: country in the world. And that's what that data reflects

395
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: right there. Buck, you are back, Let's go to break

396
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: here we come back. We'll close out the show with

397
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: some fun as it pertains. Ironically, you had an issue

398
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: with your dog, and I'm gonna give you the pet

399
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: data on how pet owners voted in twenty twenty four.

400
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: I was about to come on Aaron say I love

401
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: my dog so much. We want to put a little

402
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: Santa hat on her.

403
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: And she's amazing and I'm a big doodle person, after

404
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: never thinking I would be. She's barfing downstairs because she

405
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: probably you know, she gets Tommy aches from you know

406
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: if her filet mignon has a little too much marbled

407
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: fat in it or something. I mean, this is the

408
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: most spoiled dog on the planet. It's amazing that she

409
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: comes from wolves Clay, Like, really, I don't know how

410
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: that's even possible, but yes, there's.

411
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: A lot of generations since they were wolves.

412
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: Holidays can be especially difficult for kids who have lost

413
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: a mother or father in the line of you. In fact,

414
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: when Sergeant Stevensplan suffered a heart attack while on fire duty,

415
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: you guys were there to lift his family. During the

434
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

435
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: This is from Axios, and I tease this for a

436
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: little while, but I found this to be really interesting.

437
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Men who own cats or dogs Buck mostly voted for Trump.

438
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: That is, if you are a guy and you have

439
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: a dog, probably doesn't surprise you you voted Trump. Men

440
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: who have dogs voted Trump nearly sixty forty kind of like,

441
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: would you expect that to be true?

442
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

443
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely? But I would also throw in there if you

444
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: broke the dogs down by breed, Oh, let's see, you

445
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: would see substantial patterns of what kind of uh you know,

446
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: I think if bigger the dogs, you're bigger the dog,

447
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: more likely you voted for Trump. You know, my brother

448
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: has a Pomeranian and one of our jokes is that

449
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: the Pomeranian case that he carries as an elderly Pomeranian

450
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: and very elderly now. And the case that he's carried

451
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: around in also doubles as a fantastic concealed carry bag.

452
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: So there's there's you know, you wouldn't expect it with

453
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: the pomp. But yes, I think Labrador. If you're a

454
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Labrador owner, a Golden Retriever owners, as I'm talking about

455
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: John Shepherd, German Shepherd, you're you're gonna be I think

456
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: even higher, Like I bet that's eighty twenty Trump versus

457
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: Biden voters.

458
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: I bet you're right.

459
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: But even men with cats, even men who only had cats,

460
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: voted Trump fifty two forty six. Okay, what about women?

461
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: This is that again, this is vindication for JD.

462
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 2: Vance.

463
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: If you are a woman who has a cat, you

464
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: voted sixty forty for Kamala Harris. So men with dogs

465
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: and women with cats almost completely flipped how they vote.

466
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of fascinating to me. I mean,

467
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: I think intuitively a lot of you would guess it.

468
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: Men with dogs sixty f forty Trump, women with cats

469
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: sixty forty four Kamala.

470
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: And this is.

471
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Interesting, Buck. If you are a woman with a dog,

472
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: you voted for Trump by five. So again, women with

473
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: dog owners pretty substantially voting Trump over Kamala cat owners

474
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: at least when it comes to women. So Jade Vance's

475
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: women cat owners like single women with cats. That is

476
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: the base potentially of the Democrat party. He was actually correct.

477
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: And before anybody gets a little you know, it's the

478
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Christmas season, Christmas spirit whatever, to feel loved and happy.

479
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Clay is a cat owner, well this is so that's

480
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: not something that I a cat owner, So don't think

481
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: that you know, we understand there are some there's always

482
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: exceptions to the rule, and cat is not. I mean

483
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Clay has more than one cat. In fact, I have

484
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: seen them scurrying around the house. It's an awful decision

485
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: the family. By the way, if you have dogs and cats,

486
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: you voted Trump pretty substantially as well. So it's just

487
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: I am the exception here.

488
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: I am.

489
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know, during COVID, when all

490
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: the schools were shut down and everybody was getting pets,

491
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: I have steadfastly refused to get cats. My wife has

492
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: wanted to get cats in the house for a long time.

493
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: She had the three boys give a persuasive speech because

494
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: they were out of school, so she assigned them to

495
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: each have to do a persuasive speech on why we

496
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: should get a cat, and that is how we ended

497
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: up with two cats inside of the house. So that

498
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: in and of itself is kind of a I think

499
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: it fulfills a lot of the expectations that would be

500
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: out there. But I did find it kind of staggering

501
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: just how true it was women with cats. Now, this

502
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: isn't broken down married versus single, so to be fair,

503
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: married couples tended to vote Trump over over Kamala regardless,

504
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: But it is kind of interesting that the stereotype completely

505
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: fills there. Wouldn't you have bet buck that dog owning

506
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: men would overwhelmingly vote Trump and that cat owning women

507
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: would be more likely to vote Kamala. I mean, it's

508
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of a mirror image of how amazing that is.

509
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: This is the stereotype that's already out there, and stereotypes

510
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: sometimes exists based on a snapshot of perception, which is

511
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: based on a snapshot of data. So yeah, it's not

512
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: a not a shock at all. I do wish that

513
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: we had breed breakdown, because I think that would be fascinating.

514
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: I would guess I don't know. I would guess pitbull

515
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: ownership probably fifty to fifty Democrat and Republican. I would

516
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: get you know, you get into some of these, I

517
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: think that some of these, well, some pit bulls are

518
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: owned by minority groups. Is that what you're kind of

519
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: getting at with the disproportion pit bulls disproportionately Again, this

520
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: is very generally speaking, but disproportionately pit bulls tend to

521
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: have minority owners, which is also part of why sometimes

522
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: the discussion about pit bulls get so heated because people

523
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: feel very heated about their positions about you know, whether

524
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: these dogs are more of a public safety risk than

525
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: other dogs. So yeah, you know, because people feel like

526
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: they're being singled out or they're being called out for

527
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: their dog choice. I think, you know, doodles, like I said,

528
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: I found my producer Alli jumped in, totally true. No guy,

529
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: no like sing No guy's walking around with his doodle

530
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: who's single. There's always a girlfriend or a or you know,

531
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: or a husband whatever. But there's always another partner in

532
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the mix for a guy walking in doodle. And then

533
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: you get into the more exotic pets where I think

534
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that would be a tougher one to like if you happen.

535
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: To own more.

536
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, ferret is a very popular pet, like a

537
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: large percentage of the people that don't have a dog

538
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: or a cat. Ferret, I think for a mammal is

539
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: number number three or number four most common pet. I've

540
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: actually done some research into this because I kind of

541
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: wanted to get a pet fox for a while, but

542
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I've since found out they stink and they like they

543
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: actually scent everything, and they want to dig through your

544
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: your living room floor, so that's not good. But yeah,

545
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people have ferrets. Do you know there's

546
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: more tigers in Texas than in the wild. We're turning

547
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: into the kid from Jeremy, but you know that you

548
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: would Headleighs eight pounds. I mean, you're talking about this

549
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: is a this is a stat that is accurate as

550
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: stats should be. There are more tigers in captivity in

551
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Texas than tigers that live in the wild. That's a

552
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: pretty that's a pretty wild stat.

553
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so it ties in because.

554
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Your point on I'm thinking about how many mammals are

555
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: actually pets, right, obviously dogs, cats, I would have not

556
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: guessed that ferret is on the top of any of these.

557
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: I wonder how ferret voters would What do you think

558
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: snake owners snake Ownerkamala, I'm sure we have a couple

559
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: of wonderful, patriotic snake owners listening. I think snake owners

560
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: break for Democrat eighty percent. I actually I don't know

561
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: that I disagree, but I'm trying to think through do

562
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: you think male The only thing that I would push

563
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: back on there is potentially I tend to think men

564
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: have more snakes than more snakes than women do.

565
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 2: I don't know.

566
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if I've ever been on a

567
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: date and the woman said I have a pet snake

568
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: at home, I was like, I don't know, if there's

569
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: a second date, I wouldn't date. I wouldn't date a

570
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: woman who was at a pet snake. I've said this before,

571
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: Like she would have to be so incredibly hot in

572
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: order for me to even be willing to I wouldn't

573
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: be able to sleep at night. If you, snakes always

574
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: get out, this is they're always like hey, I never

575
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: would have thought, you know, how do this? Everyone who

576
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: has a snake, the snake escapes the cage, the the

577
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: the captivity. At some point and is just loose and

578
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 1: I had you know, I had a nightmare the other night.

579
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: Buck woke up screaming, woke my wife up, wife up

580
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: because I was dreaming that I was about to be

581
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: struck by a rattlesnake. I'm very anti snake. I have

582
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of nightmares about snakes. I don't like them. Uh,

583
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: they make me uncomfortable even thinking about them. So the

584
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: idea that someone would have a snake and I would

585
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: be in that house, I couldn't do it. I wouldn't

586
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: do it. I wouldn't I wouldn't stand. I would cancel

587
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: that relationship immediately. This is how comfortable we are with

588
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: this audience. Clay is now sharing his dreams about snakes.

589
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: I woke my wife up screaming that I was about

590
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: to be eaten by a about to be struck by

591
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Ali points out Ali. Ali's always producer. Alley's always got

592
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: your back. She points out right away that you know

593
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: the weakness, the the kryptonite of Indiana Jones if you will.

594
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 2: Oh, that's true. So you're in good company with that one. Uh,

595
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: you're in good company either.

596
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: More. I've seen and been around alligators. By the alligator's

597
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: doing but I think alligators are kind of cool. I've

598
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: seen a fair amount of alligators now since they moved

599
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: to Florida. Snakes, though, still freak me out a little bit.

600
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: And they're an invasive species down here. The Burmese python

601
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: big problem, so people have to go. Do you see

602
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: the megaviral clip of the alligator carrying the insanely large python.

603
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: I think it was in the Everglades? Yes. Yeah. That

604
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: concept of.

605
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: This is like when kids sit around and one day

606
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: we'll be having these conversations with your soon to be

607
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: son a lot.

608
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: I've had them a lot over the years.

609
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: Boys in particular like to just sit around and think

610
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: about which animal would win if two animals fight. I mean,

611
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: it is a never ending concept that.

612
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: They did that.

613
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: On the Joe Rogan Show, Joe Rogan started talk. I

614
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: saw this was he's like a gorilla or a bear?

615
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: You know. They had this old conversation.

616
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: So the but the video of the alligator carrying the

617
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: huge python, I don't reckon. I don't know that we

618
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: have seen an invasive species like the python in modern

619
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: American history. It's taken over in the Everglades. I mean,

620
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: there are tens of big problems for native now for

631
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Paul it breaks the top ten for me,

632
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,040

00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,160

Speaker 2: I don't know.

640
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: True Lies doesn't make the top the top list for me.

641
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: I will say it was the only thing I've ever

642
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: seen Roseanne's ex husband in where I thought he was good.

643
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: Uh you know what I mean. What's that guy's name,

644
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: Tom Arnold? Tom Arnold Tom Allen, whoa Tom Allen? Yes, yeah,

645
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Jack writes in I thumb up, thump, Sorry, I give

646
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: a thumbs up to Bill O'Reilly's comment on the Alastair

647
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: sim version being the best. Have watched it annually for decades,

648
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: still brings a smile at the end. I'm adding this

649
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: to my list, Clay, I think a great version of

650
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: a Christmas Carol would be a lot of fun. This

651
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: is a good one and I should have thought of it.

652
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: Mark writes in Best Action Movie, hands down, Braveheart, Mel Gibson,

653
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: this is I consider that his your that's my favorite

654
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: movie of all time. But I consider that historical, historical epic,

655
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: not an action movie, as too much of the history. Yeah, yeah,

656
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: so that's the yeah.

657
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 2: Gladiator.

658
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Gladiators historical epic because it's really I mean,

659
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: some of these movies we're talking about, like if you

660
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: watch Commando or Predator, some of the Stallone and Schwarzenegger stuff,

661
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the whole movie is just an excuse for action, Like

662
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: there's no real plot or dialogue worthy of the name.

663
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: So I think those other movies. In Braveheart won Best Picture,

664
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: Gladiator won Best Picture. So to me, those are historical epics. Now,

665
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: Rambo wasn't nominated for Best Picture, even as fine of

666
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: a film as it was. Yes, and neither was Commando.

667
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: Even though you can watch that movie one hundred times,

668
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: it never gets old. Haven At Merry Christmas, everybody. We'll
