1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 2: All right, third hour of Clay and Buck on this Friday. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 2: I appreciate you all being with us. I remember lines 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: open eight hundred two A two two eight eight two. 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 3: We are in the twenty eighth day here. 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: Of the Israel Hamas War, the Israel Hamas conflict, which 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: as we know, began with a mass casualty terror attack 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: of unspeakable, unthinkable brutality and evil of Hamas committing it 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: against Israeli citizens, civilians, men, women and children. And there's 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: been a lot of talk in the international community, in 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: international corridors, so to speak, about what should be done here, 13 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: about what the response should be. We've been hearing about ceasefires, 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: and some people have been pointing out, well, you know, 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: there was a ceasefire before Hamas decided to do all this. 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: In fact, Hamas had control of Gaza and was able 17 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: to direct funds and make decisions for the people living 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 2: in Gaza and Gaza City. And they spend a lot 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: of money, a lot of time preparing a horrific terror attack, 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: and there should be consequences. 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 3: There must be consequences as a result of it over 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: here in the US. 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: As Clay and I have been talking to you about this, 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: things have gotten more politically complicated for the Democrat Party 25 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: because what you have, on the one hand is a 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 2: Democrat old guard led by Biden talking old You gotta 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: be talking to Biden, but others as well who are 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: saying that effectively, they want Israel to be able to respond, 29 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: but they want to micro manage from Afar. The response 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: here is, for example, this is a cut four Clay. 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: Here is Senator Dick Durbin who is saying it is 32 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: time for a humanitarian pause. 33 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: Play it. 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 4: What happened on October seventh, the Jamas terrorism against Israel 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: was outrageous and barbaric, no question about it. Fourteen hundred 36 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 4: people who lost their lives in the process. Israel has 37 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: the right to defend itself. It has the right to 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 4: stop this terrorist activity by Hamas. Now let's get down 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: to the reality of this confrontation. We know that hundreds thousands, 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: if you will, have been killed and some people in 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 4: the process. It is time for a humanitarian pause. It 42 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 4: is time for us to count the injured and bring 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 4: them forward for floating hospitals and other sources that can 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: help them. I think this is the moment we should seize. 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: A humanitarian pause. Clayton. What they're now talking about is 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: multiple multiple cease fires over the course of this conflict, 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: before Israel has really even fully begun the ground campaign 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: that will have to wage against Amas in Gaza. And 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: I just I feel like this shows us. On the 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: one hand, you have an enemy that fights with absolutely 51 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 2: no restraint whatsoever, and is it operates like a death cult. 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: The more death and misery hamask and create, the better. 53 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: And on the other hand, you have the Israelis who, 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 2: after suffering this attack, which is absolutely akin to their 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 2: nine to eleven, the world is telling them how they 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 2: can respond, how they can fight, what they can do, 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: what the timetable is, what the schedule is, all of 58 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: this stuff. And on the one hand, it shows I 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: think the with it shows the moral clarity of which 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: side is operating here on a moral plane, or it 61 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: shows you know that more clearly than ever. But also 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: there's this only Israel has to do this. Only Israel 63 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: as a country has to abide by ever changing, you know, 64 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: UN and international community standards as to when and how 65 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: it can fight a military conflict. 66 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think this is all transparently political now. 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 5: And this was my concern when there was the initial 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 5: demand that Israel weight a certain amount of time before 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 5: they actually went into Gaza, because I think I think 70 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 5: in the immediate aftermath when you respond to a terror attack, 71 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 5: most people say yeah, that makes sense. The longer you wait, 72 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: the more attenuated it becomes, and the idea that you 73 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: can what just pause, I mean, they're not going to 74 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: stop shooting at Israeli soldiers. 75 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: They're in Gaza right now. 76 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 5: They're surrounding Gaza City and you just want them to 77 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 5: sit there like sitting ducks. 78 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: And just wait. 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,119 Speaker 5: Now Israel has said, hey if Hamas and I can't 80 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 5: believe that this is still a major issue. But there's 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: still several hundred hostages, many of them young children and babies, 82 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 5: that are being held somewhere by Hamas. 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 3: We don't know. 84 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 5: We think it's in those tunnels that they have organized 85 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 5: underneath all of these different properties all throughout Gaza. 86 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: The fact that there. 87 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 5: Are still American hostages and that more of the attention 88 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 5: is not focused on the American hostages, I mean, buck 89 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 5: on some level, it feels like there has been more 90 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 5: media attention paid to images of hostages getting pulled down 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 5: than there has been to the fact that there are hostages. 92 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 5: If you think about the media coverage, it doesn't feel 93 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 5: to me like we have gotten blanket coverage. What do 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: we still think there's ten or more American hostages that 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 5: are being held by Hamas. We haven't gotten the blanket 96 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: coverage of the hostage situation like occurred. My understanding is 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 5: when Iran took all of our hostages during Jimmy Carter's administration. 98 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 5: And so this whole idea that there should be a 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 5: proportionate response and that you should wait on the response, 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 5: and that you should pause, and that there should be 101 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 5: a cease fire. I think it's all transparently political. And 102 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 5: there's a big article up from the Associated Press which 103 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 5: ties in with a lot of what we've been saying 104 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 5: on this week, and the headline buck is Democrats fear 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 5: Biden's Israel Hamas war stance could cost him re election 106 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 5: in Michigan and listen to this paragraph. Democrats in Michigan 107 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: have warned the White House that President Joe Biden's handling 108 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 5: of the Israel Hamas conflict could cost him enough support 109 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 5: within the Arab American community to sway the outcome of 110 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty four election in a state he almost 111 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 5: certainly can't afford to lose in his bid for reelection. 112 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 5: Situation has prompted the White House to discuss ways to 113 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 5: alleviate tensions with some of the state's prominent Democrats, including 114 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 5: several who've been vocal critics of the President about the war. 115 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 5: And then they directly quote one of the top Palestinian, 116 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 5: I think but Arab people in political office in Michigan 117 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 5: saying the message has been relayed. We've had calls with 118 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 5: the White House, We've had calls with d NC officials. 119 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: We've been clear. 120 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 5: So I don't think it's a coincidence, Buck, that we 121 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: suddenly get the Islamophobia Task Force headed up by Kamala Harris, 122 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 5: and that there are now they're trying to third way this. 123 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 5: There's demands for Israel to take action against Amos and 124 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 5: and basically in them there's demands for a cease fire. 125 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: And where are Democrats now? They're in favor of a pause, 126 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 5: which is some wishy washy middle ground between the two. 127 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right. What you're seeing is the political 128 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: calculations here are pushing what the Biden administration responses or 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: interactions are with Israel up to this point more than 130 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: what is in the strategic interests of Israel and its 131 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: national security right it corroded and this White House are 132 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: trying to say yet and this has been this has 133 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: been the cognitive dissonance, or this has been the friction 134 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: that has existed here all along, and it is the 135 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: Biden White House is saying Israel has a right to 136 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: defend itself, but then says, well, but you know, we 137 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: have to make sure that they don't have many civilian 138 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: casualties and Gaza and they have to win. Then they have 139 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: to open humanitarian corridors, they have to be pauses, and 140 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: have to be all these things. And oh, by the way, 141 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: we're also concerned about Islamophobia here at home too, because 142 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: some somehow that's you know, that's a big problem that 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: no one is really actually seeing anywhere. But nonetheless, this 144 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: is a Biden administration that realizes they don't have any 145 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: good answers for this. And I think what you're likely 146 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: to see is some of the far left, like some 147 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: of the squads, some of the left wing members of 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: Congress who are particularly critical of and let's just be 149 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: anti Semitic that they're going to be getting louder. Right, Like, 150 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 2: this problem Clay isn't going to go away because the 151 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: ground campaign, I mean, the Israelis are gonna have to 152 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 2: They're going to go in there and they're going to 153 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: capture or kill a lot of Hamask Gays that that 154 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: hasn't even happened yet, right There've just been some air 155 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: strikes right now, but Israel is going to be going 156 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: in there in urban warfare. There will be some civilian 157 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: casual these as well. That is always regrettable. But what 158 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: is like, you know what I mean if attention right 159 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 2: now in the concerns about Michigan and confiden Win and 160 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 2: the Arab American community there are high at this stage. 161 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: Just wait, I mean, what is this White House going 162 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: to be saying in a few weeks when I mean 163 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: you're going to have hundreds, if not maybe even a 164 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: few thousand Hamas fighters are going to get I mean, 165 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: they're going to get justice via the IDF. 166 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 5: And also again on this hostage front, what in the 167 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 5: world is going to happen here? They're over two hundred 168 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 5: of them initially, Remember there were threats Hamas was saying, Oh, 169 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 5: we're going to behead them. We're going to behead them 170 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 5: on video. They've now been captured for what are we 171 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 5: sitting at almost I mean coming up on a month, 172 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 5: which is crazy to think about. I mean, those hostages 173 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 5: were seized on October seventh, and we're now sitting here 174 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 5: in early November. They've been underground, theoretically in these tunnels 175 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 5: for nearly a month, for. 176 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: Weeks, How does this situation resolve itself? 177 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 5: As Israel is circling Gaza City, I believe, correct me 178 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: if I'm wrong, Buck, they've only recovered one hostage, a 179 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 5: woman I believe who was a soldier that they got 180 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 5: and were able to free safely. But do we feel 181 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 5: like these two hundred plus hostages, including ten Americans, as 182 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 5: Israel in circles Gaza City, that there's going to be 183 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: a positive result there? I mean, I feel like the 184 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: hostage aspect of this story. Again, when you're in Miami Beach, 185 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 5: you've talked about the fact that the posters are up. 186 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 5: I feel like I've read more about the posters and 187 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 5: the posters being torn down than I have the actual 188 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 5: hostages themselves, which feels in many ways like a failure 189 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 5: of the media to remember that these people are still there. 190 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: It's impossible to play this game that the pro Hamas 191 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: people out that it's amazing that they even exist, but 192 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: that the pro Homaas people try to do, which is 193 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: oh wait, this is a conflict with two sides that 194 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: both have grievances and both have One side is holding 195 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: little kids and threatening to kill them on television correct intentionally. 196 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: The other side is trying to free them and free 197 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: Americans as well. 198 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: By the way, you're. 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 5: Right, and that is probably one big reason why to 200 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 5: both sides ism of this story is not being covered 201 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 5: because there isn't two sides. There's one side that engaged 202 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 5: in a profoundly evil attack and the other side is 203 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 5: trying to ensure that never happens again.

Appreciate all of 224 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 5: you hanging out with us on this Friday as we 225 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: are rolling through the program for Shade, all of you 226 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 5: who have been weighing in calls that we have taken 227 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 5: throughout this program as well. 228 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk. 229 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 5: In fact, one of my buddies says that we are 230 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 5: actually already in World War three and that lots of 231 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 5: people have not yet recognized it and his argument we 232 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 5: were up in DC. I went out and got drinks 233 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 5: with him. His argument was, look, there's clear war in 234 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 5: Europe the likes of which we haven't seen since World 235 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 5: War Two. The Middle East now with what's going on 236 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 5: with Hamas and Israel and all of the other countries 237 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 5: in the Middle East that have gotten involved in some 238 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 5: form or fashion, particularly Iran, and the ongoing dangers all 239 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 5: over Asia as it pertains to China's expansionist tendencies. Well, 240 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 5: we've had Gordon Chang on this program several different times 241 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 5: to talk about China and the geopolitical challenges there. He says, 242 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 5: basically the same thing. We could very well right now 243 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 5: be in World War three. 244 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 245 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 6: This is an extremely dangerous moment. 246 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: You know, we talk. 247 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 6: About World War three, we could very well be in it, 248 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 6: because if we go back to the nineteen thirties, there 249 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 6: were separate wars that eventually merged into the Second World War. 250 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 6: We're seeing the same thing now because China, in proxy wars, 251 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 6: is going after the United States and our friends and allies, 252 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 6: and as you point out, they could very well start 253 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 6: something at East Asia as well. Remember, we have got 254 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 6: wars or chaos in your in Africa and in Asia, 255 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 6: the Middle East, and so this can spread, and it 256 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: probably will spread because Biden has shown weakness. 257 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 5: Okay, Buck, How concerned are you so Gordon makes that argument? 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 5: How concerned are you that what seems to be a 259 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: toxic triangle of Iran, Russia, and China are all interacting 260 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: in a fairly concerted way. 261 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: Are you concerned that all of this could spiral? 262 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: Do you think China could get more aggressive and expansionist 263 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 5: than already has? How would you assess what Gordon said? 264 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: I have known Gordon a long time. He's a super 265 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: bright guy. I'm a Gordon Chang fan. He is a 266 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 5: bit of a pessimist, yea to national security of this. 267 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 5: So he's a super optimist about China, which is interesting, right, 268 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 5: like that he thinks China is like on its way down? 269 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 5: Remember our conversations with him. 270 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 3: I was confused. 271 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: I was like, well, he's not optimistic for China, he's 272 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: optimistic for us. Yes, he wrote a book called The 273 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: Coming Collapse of the China. So I was like, I 274 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: don't think the Chinese think he's optimistic, but yes, no, 275 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: look he he he's a He often in his analysis, 276 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: goes into the possibility of, you know, a particularly negative case. 277 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: And I think here, nothing he is saying I would 278 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: say is untrue, or I wouldn't I wouldn't. 279 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: Qubble with it. 280 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: But I think that there are more uh more reasons 281 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: for optimism about this conflict being contained right now to. 282 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: The regions where it exists. 283 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: To be fair, you have the Russia Ukraine conflict that 284 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: is going to grind on and continue. I have no 285 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: belief that that's going to end anytime soon. You have 286 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: Israel Hamas that is just about to get going. As 287 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: I've said, I think that will last something like six 288 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: to eight weeks. You will have, you know, a few 289 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: thousand Hamas casualties. You probably have in the hundreds of 290 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: IDF casualties, hopefully you know, very very few. But that's 291 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: what I think is a reasonable assessment of this. And 292 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: I don't see those conflicts as being related. It's interesting 293 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: here in America the ruling class, the Biden regime, wants 294 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: to make them seem related. But I don't think that 295 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: that's I don't think that's fair. They just want the 296 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: money to flow to both as though they're somehow these 297 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: conflicts are intertwined. There are downsides for the bad actors, 298 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: particularly in the Middle East, for trying to escalate, downsides 299 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: that they may not want to remember. I mean, one 300 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: thing we can say about Putin as bad a guy, 301 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: he is he is a rational actor. 302 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 7: Right. 303 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: This is why when people say. 304 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, he's gonna fire off nukes in Ukraine, 305 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,479 Speaker 2: Putin is not looking to exterminate all of the Ukrainians 306 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: and turn Ukraine into a wasteland. He wants Ukraine to 307 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: be a part of the Russian Federation. He wants Ukrainians 308 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: to have Russian Federation passports, and you know, he wants 309 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: to extend his control into that country. I disagree with 310 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: the national security apparatus in this country that says then 311 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: he wants you know, Poland, and then I mean, I 312 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: think that that's way overblown, and I think that's a 313 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: justification for the kind of open check book theory that 314 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 2: we're applying to this right now. But my point here 315 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: being clay that Putin knows that escalation comes with risks 316 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: to him. Iran knows that escalation would come with risks 317 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: as well from Israel, you know, I Mean'sraeli military. We 318 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 2: talk about it in the context of you know, can 319 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: they have precision surgical strikes and can they save people 320 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: who are hostages? And those are very difficult, very difficult 321 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: operations to pull off. I mean Israel has Israel has news, right, 322 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean Israel has a world class air force and 323 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: highly sophisticated weaponry. The ability to punish Iran that Israel 324 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 2: and the US have together as such that I think 325 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 2: it keeps Iran from going it's going to do things 326 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: like it has been. I don't think it's going to 327 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: cross a much bigger red line, but Gordon obviously is 328 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 2: more worried than I am. 329 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: No doubt. 330 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 5: And also I would point out the reason why Iran 331 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 5: wants nukes is because Ukraine voluntarily gave up nukes, and 332 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 5: I don't think you're going to see any country after 333 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 5: what's happened to Ukraine ever voluntarily give up news again 334 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 5: once they have them, right, because the argument is that's 335 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 5: the ultimate ultimate deterrent to keep somebody from ever coming 336 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 5: into your country. 337 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 2: You know, there's speculation around Washington, DC that we'll hear 338 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: of an announcement before years end of a change in 339 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: our currency system.

Would you have ever believed 361 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 5: that the country would get as crazy as it is 362 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 5: right now, and we'd be talking about you know, guys 363 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 5: winning women's championships and war everywhere, and it just feels 364 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 5: like chaos has descended across the nation and frankly around 365 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 5: the world. 366 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 7: No, I would not have believed we would actually see 367 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 7: it to this degree. I did, however, believe there were 368 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 7: people that intended for these things to happen, but for 369 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 7: many years, they were pretty careful on not allowing us 370 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 7: to really see their intentions play out in front of 371 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 7: our faces, you know, because once it plays out where 372 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 7: you can see it, there's only nowhere for them to hide. 373 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 7: So it's pretty it's pretty shocking to see what's going on. 374 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 7: And I don't know about you, but it feels like 375 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 7: we are in a in a momentum pattern right now 376 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 7: of more and more things, bad things coming for this country. 377 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 7: It's a it's a very concerning time to be an 378 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 7: American right now. 379 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: John, Do you get the scents? It's buck and I 380 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: appreciate you being here with us on the show. 381 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: You can get the sense. 382 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 2: That that creatives, so to speak, whether in you know, 383 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: obviously country music, but more broadly just the music industry. 384 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: Are are people starting to recognize that the shackles they're 385 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 2: under because of wokeness or political correctness or whatever are 386 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: really contrary to the ethos of creativity and really the 387 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: ethos of America and freedom, Like, are. 388 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 3: You seeing it happening more? 389 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: Are you talking to people behind the scenes or is 390 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: it still status quo for the most part. 391 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 7: Well, I think the artists, the songwriters, you know, the creators, 392 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 7: we all know what we're looking at. And yeah, I 393 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 7: mean the the current culture in this country is not 394 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 7: conducive to free thought or wide open creativity. Artistic creativity 395 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 7: is just not The problem is most of your artists 396 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 7: that are currently on the radio, they all have record deals. 397 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 7: The record labels are run by you know, giant corporations 398 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 7: that are heavily leftists, and they know that. And if 399 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 7: I say the wrong thing, I do the wrong interview, 400 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 7: I put out the wrong song, I'm probably done. You know, 401 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 7: I might lose my record deal, might not get played 402 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 7: on the radio again. And so it's really hard thing 403 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 7: to ask those artists to do it anyway, because a 404 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 7: lot of them this is their American dream. They work 405 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 7: their asses off to get to that point, to get 406 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 7: a record deal and be heard and be on country 407 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 7: radio or pop radio or whatever they're on. And now 408 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 7: they're looking at turning the whole thing upside down over 409 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 7: freedom of speech. For me, I think it came at 410 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 7: a good point in my career because I don't need 411 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 7: the music industry anymore. As a matter of fact, I 412 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 7: look at it like this, if the music industry thought 413 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 7: well of me, I would not think well of myself. 414 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: It would bother me if they like me at this point. 415 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 7: But I do empathize with a lot of these artists guys, 416 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 7: because what are they supposed to do. Al Dean is 417 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 7: big enough that he's able to come out and say 418 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 7: what he wants to. You can't cancel Aldan. There's a 419 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 7: few of us, but not many. 420 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 5: I'm curious when you're out and about what kind of 421 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 5: response you get from fans, because there's some people out 422 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 5: there who say, as you point out, oh man, I 423 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 5: don't want to really rock the vote. I don't want 424 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 5: to say exactly what I think. You have come through 425 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 5: on the other side, and you just say exactly what 426 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 5: you think. I actually, in my experience, I think people 427 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 5: are just looking for authenticity and as long as you're 428 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: being honest to yourself. They're fine with that. I'm curious 429 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 5: if you found that in your experience with your music. 430 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean when I travel around the country, you 431 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 7: know we did. We did close to forty big and 432 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 7: rich shows this year, so you do meet and Greece 433 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 7: before all the shows, and you know, you meet everybody 434 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 7: before the event, and pretty much across the board, people 435 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 7: will come up to me and shake my hand and say, hey, 436 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 7: thanks for saying what we would say if we had 437 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 7: the microphone. Like you know, John, you've got you've got 438 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 7: the microphone, you've got a platform. You're saying exactly how 439 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 7: we feel about this, and thank you keep doing it, 440 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 7: and so that makes you feel great, you know, giving 441 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 7: up the music industry. They they blackballed me. 442 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: Well, I'm blackballed. 443 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 7: Into you know, I don't care to work with him either. 444 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 7: And so when that happened though a few years ago, 445 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 7: I thought, well, that's that's it. No more award shows, 446 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 7: no more number one songs, that's over with. I wonder 447 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 7: what's going to happen going down the road. And I 448 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 7: can tell you what happened, man, is tens of millions 449 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 7: of Americans that keep up with what I do now 450 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 7: have my back. They feel they feel like I'm one 451 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 7: of them because I am, and that we speak the 452 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 7: same language. So it's become a much bigger conversation for 453 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 7: me out there with the fans than just the music. 454 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 7: It's it's very dimensionalized at this point and a great 455 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 7: feeling for me to have. 456 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: A country music superstar, John Rich and John you know, 457 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: Clay's in Nashville, so he's he's closer to the world 458 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: of country music. You know certainly physically that I am 459 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: as a guy who grew up in New York City. 460 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 2: But it would seem to me that if there's any 461 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: place where pro American values, traditional values, you know, freedom, 462 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: the flag, all that would be totally welcome in that 463 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: creative space, specifically in the music industry, it would be 464 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: country music. But you get pressure, you know, if you 465 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: were if talking about like Top forty or some of 466 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: the other genres. I would understand to an outsider to me, 467 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 2: isn't country music like the safe space for loving America 468 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: or is there really pressure on artists not to be 469 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: able to express themselves that way. 470 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 7: No, it's not a safe space. Listen, man, you're talking 471 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 7: about Sony Universal Warner Brothers. Between those three companies, they 472 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 7: own eighty percent of all the record labels. So you're 473 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 7: not dealing with some good old boy in Nashville, some 474 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 7: good old country girl in Nashville. You're dealing with elite, 475 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 7: mega corporate. 476 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 3: You know. 477 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 7: Olli Art's basically of these companies, and so that when 478 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 7: they put the downward pressure and they tell their A 479 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 7: and R departments, their publicists, everybody, Hey, this is how 480 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 7: we do it. This is how we don't do it. 481 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 7: You know what Clay was saying earlier that of course 482 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 7: that kills artistic expression. You listen, Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, 483 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 7: Johnny Cash, all of our favorites, if they were writing 484 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 7: those songs today, in this current climate, you would never 485 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 7: hear any of it. It would never be allowed to 486 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 7: get to the public. 487 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 5: Siers we're talking to John Rich. I know, in addition 488 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 5: to country music, you are a monster college football fan, 489 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 5: and we did some of people have watched this. We 490 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 5: were on Big Noon together. I know you're a Longhorn 491 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 5: fan for all the Texas listeners out there, but your 492 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 5: show was on College Game Day on ESPN. For your 493 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 5: song was on College Game Day, which is very popular 494 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 5: pregame sho for a long time, and then they took 495 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 5: your version off. I'm curious why you think that happened, 496 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 5: and a positive story here. Your song is going to 497 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 5: be on Big Noon, which is going to air on 498 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 5: Fox Sports tomorrow. Kind of take people through the background 499 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 5: story of how that happened both at ESPN and now 500 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 5: at Fox. 501 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 7: Well, so coming to your City was the theme for 502 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 7: College Game Day on ESPN for fifteen sixteen seasons something 503 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 7: like that. I mean basically people had grown up listening 504 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 7: to that. That was a Saturday morning tradition for a 505 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 7: lot of people. When you hear it coming to your city, 506 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 7: you know it's time for college football. Well, for whatever reason, 507 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 7: ESPN decided, hey, we still want to use the song, 508 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 7: we just don't want you guys to be the one 509 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 7: singing it anymore. 510 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 5: Do you think that was, by the way, a political 511 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 5: decision by them or what do you attribute it to? 512 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 5: They had somebody else record the song, right right? 513 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 7: I mean it would be me speculating about that, but 514 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 7: why else would you do it? Maybe there's another reason. 515 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 7: I'm sure that having a guy, especially like me that's 516 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 7: as outspoken as I am as a conservative there was 517 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 7: bound to have been somebody in the ranks of ESPN going, 518 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 7: you know what, we don't really want to look at 519 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 7: his face every Starday morning. Now, that was never told 520 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 7: to me. I can't prove that, but that's that's what 521 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 7: my assumption is. But it is only an assumption, so 522 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 7: I don't really know. In any case, we weren't real 523 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 7: happy that we don't get to sing our own song anymore. 524 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 7: I mean, we weren't really happy about that. So this 525 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 7: opportunity comes along from Fox Sports and they said, hey, 526 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 7: we love Big and Rich and Cowboy Troy. You guys 527 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 7: want to do something with us. Of course we want 528 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 7: to do something. Let's go. We love college football.

We took that 531 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 7: music and wrote an entire special piece of music for 532 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 7: Big Noon Kickoff. It's going to air tomorrow, man, and 533 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 7: we are absolutely pumped to have graduated to a major 534 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 7: network like that and have our voices heard again. 535 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: That's awesome.

I saw you there. You came 549 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 5: out and played a song for people who don't know 550 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 5: Donald Trump. Why are you such a big Trump supporter? 551 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: He? 552 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 3: What has he been like for you? 553 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 7: Because the entire system hates him, and the entire system 554 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 7: is corrupt, and so you are known by your enemies. 555 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 7: And that's that's what I think, and I think that's 556 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 7: what most Americans think. Is Donald Trump a perfect human being? 557 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 5: No? 558 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 7: Is he the perfect role model for everybody? Absolutely not. 559 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 7: He's a very flawed individual. But the entire system despises 560 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 7: Donald Trump. Republicans hate him, Democrats hate him, Tech hates them. 561 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 7: The media hates them, business hates them, the banks hate him. 562 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 7: All the systems in our country that keep their boot 563 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 7: heel on the neck of the American people hate Donald Trump. 564 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 7: And for me, that's all I need to know that 565 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 7: he's the right guy to step back forward and try 566 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 7: to put this thing back into check. Our country is 567 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 7: literally catching on fire and it's just getting started. Who's 568 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 7: the only one holding the fire extinguisher. Who's the only 569 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 7: one that can reverse this mess? Name somebody other than 570 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 7: Donald Trump that you think would have a chance at 571 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 7: least of reversing the destruction we see going on in 572 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 7: this country.

I've said 626 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 5: this before in the US Virgin Islands for a couple 627 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 5: of years practicing law, and there you're so close to 628 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 5: the equator that there isn't that much variation in time, 629 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 5: and so the sunlight doesn't change that much here where 630 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 5: I live in Nashville by Joe. By December twenty first, 631 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 5: like next month, it's going to be dark at four thirty. 632 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 5: And I absolutely despise the fact that changed the time 633 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 5: at all. I wish when we spring forward, we would 634 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 5: just stay there forever. Do you have any strong association 635 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 5: with the time you lived in New York City? I 636 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 5: don't know how. 637 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: I remember many years in New York City when, especially 638 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: when I was doing more office job kind of stuff, 639 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: it was dark every time you wanted to go, dark 640 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: and cold every time you were free feel of your office, 641 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 2: which is not great. And you know, people get what 642 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: is it, seasonal disaffective disorder, seasonal effective disorder, effective disorder. Sorry, yeah, 643 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't like the changing of the clocks. 644 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: I would I would be anti daylight savings time. I 645 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: would just say we just keep the clocks where they 646 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: are and everyone just deals with it forever. 647 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, for forever. 648 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: I think this is kind of a silly ritual that 649 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: we go through. 650 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 3: So there's that. 651 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: It does remind me a little bit of the the 652 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 2: the very good Nate Bargatsy skit from SNL where he's 653 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: talking about the founding of America. So we could have 654 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: random weights and measures, yes, which is also a thing 655 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 2: that when you really dive into, you go like, exactly 656 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 2: do we have all these different confounding weights and measures 657 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: in this country? But we do things our own way here, Clay, freedom, 658 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 2: including the freedom to decide arbitrarily that we have to 659 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: make our clocks go back and out. 660 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 5: Well, I mean as crazy by the way that you 661 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 5: mentioned the weights and measures and the time change and 662 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 5: everything else. You know, in England they still weigh things 663 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 5: based on stones, you like, I don't even know. I 664 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 5: mean we think that whatever pounds, kilograms, however you want 665 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 5: to weigh things. I remember being over in England, somebody's like, yeah, 666 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 5: I'm about thirteenth of like thirteen stones, Like I don't 667 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 5: even know what a stone is like that. So, as 668 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 5: crazy as some of our weights and measures are, at 669 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 5: least we're not still doing stones. Although I will say 670 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 5: it feels like we're kind of dunking on horses when 671 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 5: we still talk about how fast cars are based on 672 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 5: horse power. You know, it's like, this is two hundred 673 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 5: and fifty horse power. Well, yeah, I mean cars a 674 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 5: lot more powerful than a horse. But so some of 675 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 5: these arbitrary weights and measures are ridiculous. But I think 676 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 5: of all of them. The time change. If I were 677 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 5: running for president, I would run on the platform of 678 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 5: once the time changes again in March, we never change 679 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 5: it for the rest of recorded humanity. We have one 680 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 5: time forever. And I think most people would approve of that. 681 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 2: Think about how many people have had some very stressful event, 682 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 2: maybe they were late for a job interview, or they 683 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: missed a flight or whatever, because they forget about this 684 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 2: time change thing. I mean there's collateral damage. Oh, totally 685 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 2: daylight savings that never really gets talked about. There there 686 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 2: are daylight savings victims out there who deserve their day. 687 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 3: Well. 688 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 5: You know what also doesn't happen buck If you have 689 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 5: young kids, you don't get an extra hour of sleep. 690 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 5: People are like, well, you know when we fall back, 691 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 5: you know the clocks you get to get to the 692 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 5: extra hour. 693 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 3: No, you don't. 694 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 5: Kids certainly are not adjusting their wake up time based 695 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 5: on arbitrary alterations to the clock time. 696 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 3: I heard this all the time. As soon as we 697 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 3: had kids. 698 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 5: They were still coming in at the same early hours 699 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 5: when they were young. So no parent out there is 700 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 5: going to get an extra hour, I will say. When 701 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 5: I was out and about, the only good thing about 702 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 5: it was the bars. When you're out in a bar 703 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 5: and you fall back and you get an extra hour. 704 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 5: If you happen to be out on the Saturday night 705 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 5: turning into the Sunday, you get an extra hour of 706 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 5: open bar tabs, which can be either good or bad 707 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 5: depending on where you live. But that's the only thing 708 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 5: I can really remember about the fallback time when I 709 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 5: would say, Okay, this is kind of fantastic. 710 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 3: But they keep shortening it. 711 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 5: Now we're into November, it comes back in earlier in March. Like, 712 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 5: just end it once and for all. I think everybody 713 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 5: would agree with that in general. By the way, Ali 714 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 5: producer Ali says, this just means in New York City 715 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,240 Speaker 5: you get mugged an hour earlier. 716 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 2: So this is not exactly working for the Tourism Board 717 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 2: of New York these days. 718 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, for sure. Well everyone have a 719 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 2: Great weekend, enjoy the time change if you're inclined to 720 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 2: enjoy such things, and we look forward to talking you 721 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: on Monday.
