1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us as we were rolling 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: through the Wednesday edition of the program. Senata Rick Scott 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: of Florida will be with us at the bottom of 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: the hour. Speaking of Florida, Buck, did you see the 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: news that your new hometown of Miami has set aside 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: two point six acres to potentially be the location for 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: the Donald Trump Presidential Library. 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: That's some plot twist that. 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: If you had told people, you know, even a decade ago, 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: was coming, they never would have anticipated it. 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 2: I moved to Miami and suddenly it is just a 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 2: shining beacon of freedom in America. Not a surprise, Clay, 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: This is not an accident. 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: And I also think, by the way, this is a 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: really good move by Ron DeSantis. Remember last couple of years, 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the DeSantis and Trump people going back 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: and forth, and they may still be occasionally fighting. I 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: haven't seen it in a long time in our mentions, 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: but this is Ron DeSantis being like, hey, Trump is 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: now one of the greatest presidents, certainly of the twenty 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: first century. I think now Trump is competing against many 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: other decades for historical legacy and is by far the 24 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: most consequential political figure of the twenty first century. Ye, 25 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't even think it's close at this point. And 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: so some presidential libraries, Joe Biden's, I don't will anybody 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: even go visit. Maybe kids in elementary school because they 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: get out of school for the day. But can you 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: imagine being like, hey, what are you doing this weekend? Oh, 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Wilmington or wherever it is in 31 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: Delaware and go to Joe Biden's presidential library. I don't 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: even know that he's gonna be able to raise enough 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: money to build it. They may just, you know, turn 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: the Biden Beach Mansion into the presidential Library and not 35 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: even worry about it. But there is talk. I'm kind 36 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: of laughing about it, but there is talk that Biden 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: can't get paid. Nobody will pay him to come speak. 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: There is substantial difficulty. I saw a quote where they said, well, 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: we think the donors will eventually come around. 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: Really no, I don't. I don't think so. This is 41 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: why the brilliance of Hunter Biden's paintings is what the 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: family should be able to fall back on. I mean, 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: Hunter is really the van the vn go of our era, 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: and so why doesn't that just, you know, five hundred 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: thousand of painting should be easy. I don't know what 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: the big what the big hold up is. So that's 47 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: one bit of news I wanted to share with you. 48 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: The Ice news. 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: Of course, we started the show with that the shooting 50 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: took place anti Ice written on the bullets. No ICE 51 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: agents actually hit. Reports that the guy fired into a van, 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: didn't even know exactly what he was aiming at necessarily 53 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: inside the van, or thought the van was loaded down 54 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: with ICE agents. Two people killed, he killed himself, is 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the reports that I have seen, but no one who 56 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: He killed one and killed himself. Two fatalities told, two fatalities, 57 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: one self inflicted. Okay, okay, I thought there were two 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: fatalities one more with him. 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: Am I wrong? No, I'm asking you. I thought you're 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: updating this. 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: No, I think it was two. He killed two people 62 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: and killed himself. 63 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: What I thought? Right? 64 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: So killed two and killed himself? Okay, yes, a team 65 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: let us know if that's change or we got that wrong. 66 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: The other bit of news that I think is is 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: circulating out there, certainly is the Jimmy Kimmel return and 68 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel came back last night. I couldn't even see 69 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: it because it's not airing in my market of Nashville, 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: because Next Star has preempted it. As about a twenty 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: five percent of the nation is not getting the Jimmy 72 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Kimmel Show right now, either on Sinclair or on the 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: or on the Next Star affiliates. But I thought that 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: he would apologize directly and without equivocation. 75 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: He did not. I thought that some of the things 76 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: that he. 77 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Said were well said, and I will play this because 78 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: he thanked me for standing up for free speech, among others. 79 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: This is the part of his monologue where he started 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: cut seven. 81 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: Maybe most of all, I want to thank the people 82 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: who don't support my show and what I believe, but 83 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: support my right to share those beliefs. 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: Anyway. Who's who will or I never would? I will imagine. 85 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 3: Right, Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candice Owens, Mitch McConnell, Ran Paul, 86 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: even my old pal Ted Cruz, who believe it or not, 87 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: said something very beautiful on my behalf. 88 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that 89 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: he was fired. Oh the way. 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: No, not that the other part. 91 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: But let me tell you, if the gun gets in 92 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: the business of saying saying what you the media have said, 93 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 4: we're going to ban you from the airwaves if you 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 4: don't say what we like, that will end up bad 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 4: for conservatives. 96 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever said this before, but Ted 97 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: Cruz is right. 98 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: Okay, So there are other parts who may play a 99 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: couple of more cuts here. Here's what I would say 100 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: in response to that, I Buck's gonna get floor? 101 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: Is yours? Buddy? Go for it? 102 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, But here's what I would say. I hope and 103 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: I think that Jimmy should address and directly apologize. I've 104 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: said that before for the phrasing and what he said 105 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: on last week's show. But going forward, as opposed to 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: looking backwards, going forward, what I think should happen. 107 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: Is I think that this whole world. 108 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: Of left wing comedians and comedians and quotation marks, because really, 109 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: the comedy show, when it's only directed in one direction, 110 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: is not actually comedy. It's propaganda. I think that if 111 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: we're going to have late night comedy shows, they should 112 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: have guests that reflect the entire spectrum of American life. 113 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: And this is one of the things that you understand 114 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: why this is not You understand why this is not possible, right. 115 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's because they have decided, in the 116 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: wake of Stephen Colbert getting ratings, that that is what 117 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: people want in late night television. 118 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: The opinion that is, I'm of the opinion, Clay, that 119 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: the audience has been trained and the audience has expectations 120 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: that they will not be subjected to anyone who offends 121 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: their lib sensibilities, and they are little snowflakes and they 122 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: will scream and melt if that's so. This is what 123 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: you're saying is again, I agree with you. What you're 124 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: saying is rational, but there's just no way that's going 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: to happen because whatever, what what how many people watch 126 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: Kimmel Show right now? A million? Like a million is 127 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: that's what I thought. It's like a million people. Nine 128 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty thousand of that million would would not 129 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: be okay with anybody. You know, Steven Miller is a 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: brilliant guy and actually really funny. If Steven Miller was 131 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: on the Jimmy Kimmel Show one time, there would be 132 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: a complete freakout from his existing audience, right, I mean, 133 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: that they can't. Meanwhile, we've we're just so used to 134 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: this that we're like, whatever, just put somebody on. If 135 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: they're funny, I'll watch if they If they're not, I won't. 136 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: We just have a totally different mentality about this. But Clay, 137 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: they still cannot. It's like even Bill Maher tries to 138 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: tell his audience, guys, it's a better show if I 139 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: have right wingers on to give the other perspective, and 140 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: a lot of his people complain. Now, his audience is 141 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: a little different. They're not conditioned the same way they're 142 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: used to seeing Hitchens and Coulter and these people over 143 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: the years showing up on that show. But he still 144 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: gets a lot of he tells me that, or people 145 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: who are like, I never want to see a maga 146 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: person on your show, blah blah blah. Yeah. 147 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: And I'm unique maybe in this sense, because every time 148 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: somebody complains about anything that I do, I want to 149 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: do it more. So I'm a bit antagonistic in that way. 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, if you complain to me because you don't 151 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: like something, that's not a very effective strategy because it 152 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: makes me want to do it more. And maybe that's 153 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: a little bit rare in our world. But you mentioned 154 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: Bill Maher. I think that's a great example. He has 155 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: probably the most influential talk show on television in America. 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Now I'm not counting actual political shows. 157 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: I think Bill Maher has the most influential comedy talk show. 158 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: Maybe I should have specified in America. I see the 159 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: clips from his show far more because I think people 160 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: like the conflict of ideas. I will just tell you 161 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: south Park seems to be having a moment. I see 162 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: south Park clips everywhere, and it seems to me that 163 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: South Park tries to do a decent job of making 164 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: fun of everyone, and so I think there actually is 165 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: a there is a market if you try to treat 166 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: everyone the same. Now in the short term, I think 167 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: you're right. I think there would be a revolt in 168 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: the short term. I think if you put on Nate Bargatsi, 169 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: and I'll just use him as an example, because he 170 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: is I think probably the foremost comedian in America right now. 171 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: In terms of his ability to draw an audience. I 172 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: think people would watch who Are Democrats and Republicans. I 173 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: think people go buy tickets for his show, Who Are 174 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans. I think he's in a political performer. 175 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: I think if you started a new show and you 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: made fun of everybody evenly, I think there actually is 177 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: more demand for that than maybe people think. I don't 178 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: know if Fox has ever talked about this. Fox back 179 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: in the day tried to get into late night game, 180 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I mean the Fox Network, not Fox News, but it 181 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: never really took off. I don't know why Fox wouldn't 182 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: try to do this now. Maybe they don't want to 183 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: compete with Gutfelder. I haven't had any conversations with the 184 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: executives at Fox about this, so I'm just kind of 185 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: walking through it in my own mind. 186 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 2: But it seems to. 187 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: Me there's actually a desperate demand for someone who is 188 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: even handed and will dispense ridicule, as Johnny Carson did, 189 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: as Jay Leno did, as David Letterman did back before 190 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: he lost his mind, in an even handed fashion. I 191 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: think these people mostly just follow whatever direction the currents go. 192 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: And Stephen Colbert had tremendous success being a left wing 193 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: idiologue politician who was doing a late night television show. 194 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: Everybody else was getting their ass kicked by Colbert, and 195 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: so they said, we have to in some way copy 196 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: what he does. And I think it hurt Falin the 197 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: most because I think Jimmy Fallon, if he had like 198 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: a spine, is actually the most apolitical of the of 199 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: the late night host and when he leaned over and 200 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: ruffled Trump's hair, remember when that happened, I think that 201 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: he was utterly crushed by the result. I got another 202 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: idea for you, Buck, I think you have to move 203 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: these shows out of New York in LA. I think 204 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: you have to move late night comedy out of New 205 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: York and LA. I think if you did late night 206 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: comedy in Nashville, I think you would get a totally 207 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: different lifestyle. I think you would get a totally different comedian. 208 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: I think you'd still get great guests, but I think 209 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: it would be more. 210 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: Middle of the road. 211 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: I think it's not only the host, it's the writing staff, 212 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: and it's the world they're surrounded by. You know this 213 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: because you lived in New York City. When you lived 214 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: in New York City, you were behind enemy lines. I 215 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: think it's harder to do a show that appeals to 216 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the nation from New York in LA than it is 217 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: from Nashville or Atlanta or other parts of the middle 218 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: part of the Cincinnati or Columbus or Chicago for that matter. 219 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: I lived on the Colbert Block. 220 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. So a funny thing for me was that during 221 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: all of Colbert's stuff, I would see that audience. And 222 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: one of the funniest things during COVID to me was 223 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: when they brought it back, they would have the Colbert audience. 224 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: And like I said, I was on that block and 225 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: now I know where I lived in New York, and 226 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: I would see them every day for that show. And 227 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 2: they would have the people spaced out play on the 228 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: street with masks on outside. Yeah, six feet apart, masked up, 229 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: and I'm talking about when it was thirty degrees outside, okay, 230 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 2: waiting and waiting and waiting to go into a packed 231 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 2: theater so like, and they never thought that that was weird. Right, 232 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: you're going to sit inside the theaters they were two 233 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: hours with shoulders shoulder with everybody, but outside, just to 234 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: be insane, We're going to make you stand six feet 235 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 2: apart and freeze your butt off with a mask on 236 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: the whole time. 237 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: When I came to New York City, when we had 238 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: started doing this show, and I got into the iHeart 239 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: elevators and the building we work in. Of the foot markers. 240 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: You hadn't seen foot markers, had you? I had never 241 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: seen foot markers before. And when I got on, some 242 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: of the people were facing the opposite direction because the 243 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: science that they thought they needed to follow was not 244 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: only do you need to space yourself in an elevator, 245 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: some of the people in the back need to be 246 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: faced towards the wall. I thought, I'd like, did I 247 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: walk into a zombie apocalypse? Like are these people going 248 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: to turn around and like devour me? I walked on 249 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, what is going on here? Because again, 250 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: where I live and you now live in Miami, I 251 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: think to a large part because of COVID. 252 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 2: Where I live, we. 253 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: Did COVID for like six weeks and then everybody was like, yeah, 254 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: let's just get back to normal. And so this idea 255 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: that other people out there were sitting in circles in 256 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: public parks, or staring into walls in the elevator, or 257 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: walking around in hazmat suits. I'm like, I just never 258 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: experienced that lifestyle, thankfully. And I think if I had 259 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: been living in that apartment that you lived in, I 260 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: would have gone crazy. 261 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 2: I would have fun. Part that was the biggest apartment. 262 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: That was the biggest. I was almost like forty years old. 263 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: That was the biggest apartment in New York as an 264 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: adult that I had ever lived in. Clay's like, how 265 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: do you live here? I'm like this, this is spacious. 266 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: When I started my radio show, I think I was 267 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: in a three hundred square foot studio apartment, paying like 268 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: twelve hundred bucks a month for it. 269 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Look, the only reason to live in New York City, 270 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: in my always humble opinion, is to experience New York. 271 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: Unless you're so rich that you have a huge, awesome 272 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: place to live. Most people live in small apartments so 273 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: they can experience the city. You just had to live 274 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: in the small apartment, I would have gone insane, Like 275 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't even open windows. 276 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real thing. That we had beautiful outdoor 277 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: space actually in that building, gardens and everything. There was 278 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: a roof and everything else. They shut those areas down. 279 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: They made this is what I ever knew. I know, 280 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: You're sorry, you've got us on this COVID thing. They 281 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: made everyone sicker, They made it worse for your immune system. 282 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: They made it more likely you were going to get COVID. 283 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: It's not that they didn't do brilliant things. They did 284 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: all the wrong things and somehow we're just you know, 285 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: Kentucky voted for Bashier and Michigan voted for Gretchen Whitmer. 286 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: And yeah, and Cuomo Oh is trying to make a comeback. 287 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: We'll come back into this year in just a second. 288 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: You know, if you're running a business, connecting with your 289 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: team is key, especially if they're all spread out.

Vance. 374 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 7: When you go around and lie about our law enforcement 375 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 7: and you tell them that they're mistreating five year old girls, 376 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: what do you think is going to happen when Democratic 377 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 7: politicians incur doxing, when they encourage us to unmask ice 378 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 7: enforcement officers. What do you think is going to happen? 379 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 7: When the mayor of Los Angeles encourages violent protesters to 380 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 7: get in the face of our law enforcement. What do 381 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 7: you think is going to happen. What's going to happen 382 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 7: is political violence, and political violence has gotten out of 383 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 7: control in this country. 384 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: We got to stop it. 385 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 7: We gotta condemn it.

If you want to 387 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 7: stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the gestapo. 388 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 7: If you want to stop political violence.

When I 397 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 8: was governor, we lost fifty one members of law enforcement, 398 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 8: and you go to their funerals. This is these are 399 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 8: this is a family. Once their own personal family. Then 400 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 8: law enforcement is a family, and they unfortunately with under Democrats, 401 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 8: under Democrat rule, under Democrat writer, they attack our law enforcement. 402 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 8: What do you want in your house? You you know 403 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 8: you want it smart.

I grew up in a country where 411 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 8: if my mom thought I would ever talk back to 412 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 8: a law enforcement or say something battle, I got the 413 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 8: biggest whipping in the world.

That's what everybody in 416 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 8: this country ought to be doing. Say, thank God, somebody's 417 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 8: willing to put on. 418 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 9: The uniform and defend our freedom and defend their safety. 419 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 9: So these democratics got to stop this rhetoric. Princely hurt 420 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 9: dead kind. 421 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: Of Okay, Senator Scott, We're gonna have to have you 422 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: call back in because I don't know if you could hear. 423 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: I cannot hear what he said. 424 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: This is one of those things where I just I 425 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: look around and I'm like, cell phones are never just 426 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: going to work perfectly, are they? 427 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: Like, I guess not. 428 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what ago we would have thought, Hey, 429 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: the signals will eventually be flawless, like, but it's amazing 430 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: how often you can't have a normal conversation on a 431 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: cell phone. 432 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: Now, maybe Elon will fix that, you know, maybe Elon 433 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: will all have sat phones essentially. I remember that was 434 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: such a thing when I was overseas twenty years ago 435 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: at the Agency to have a satellite phone. I was like, ooh, 436 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: it was you know, sixteen dollars a minute or something 437 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 2: to actually talk to anybody on it. You would think 438 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 2: that we would get to a place where this stuff 439 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: would all work much more. We got them back. We 440 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: can hear them now because I want to hear what 441 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: the good senator has to say. 442 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, so we have got to stand up for our 443 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 8: law enforcement, and the Democrats have got to stop this. 444 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 8: Where don't their families want to be safe? Don't their 445 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 8: voters want to be safe? 446 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: But Senator, let me ask you this. Hold on a second, 447 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: because because Gavin Newsom in California, I know that the 448 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: law doesn't go into effect until January, and I assume 449 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: that they're smart enough to know that they can't tell 450 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: federal law enforcement how they can tactically do their jobs 451 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: the state of California. But I mean, what message could 452 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: be more clear than what he's saying, which is the 453 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: governor of America's largest state, Gaven Newston I was telling 454 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: everybody that these are basically fascist stormtroopers and they're hiding 455 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: their identities because there's something immoral about enforcing immigration law. 456 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 8: Look, they might have a mask because They're scared to 457 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 8: death of people like Gavin Newsom as telling telling people 458 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 8: right to attack law enforcement, don't cooperate with them, get 459 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 8: in their face. I mean who I mean? Like, doesn't 460 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom care about the citizens of his state? But 461 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 8: I was governor of Florida. You know what I wanted. 462 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 8: I wanted every family to be safe. I wanted every 463 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 8: business to be safe. I wanted every restaurant, every school 464 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 8: to be safe. So why didn't Gavin Newsom care about 465 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 8: the people in the state, about their safety? That's what 466 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 8: I don't get. You don't build a business, you don't 467 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 8: want your kids to go to school, you don't want 468 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 8: to live in a community that is unsafe. Support law enforcement. 469 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 8: It's real simple. They will defend your freedom and your safety. 470 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Rick Scott Florida a lot of discussion. 471 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: I was texting with Senator Ron Johnson a little bit 472 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: earlier about the potential for a shutdown. He's got a 473 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: piece up in the Wall Street Journal about ways to 474 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: end this conflict once and for all. What should our 475 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: listeners know about the latest battle over funding the government. 476 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 8: Well, here's where it works. We only need a majority 477 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 8: in the hospital. We have to have sixty votes in 478 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 8: the Senate. Chuck Schumer, for whatever god forsaken reason, wants 479 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 8: to shut down government so some services will be stopped 480 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 8: beginning at midnight September thirty. He that's what he wants, 481 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 8: that's what he wants. He doesn't care. He wants to 482 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 8: shut down government. Well, Ron Johnson's proposing, which is really smart. 483 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 8: Let's just make sure that we just keep funding government. 484 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 8: We should have done our budget bills, which we haven't 485 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 8: done again this year, which we should have done. But 486 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 8: if we don't, then we'll just continue to keep government 487 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 8: open and last year's funding which is too high. I 488 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 8: want to balance budget, but it's better than shut down 489 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 8: and shutting down government and shutting down services. And by 490 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 8: the way, total workers, when they don't come to work, 491 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 8: they still get paid. How crazy is that? When you 492 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 8: don't go to work, you don't get paid. But federal workers, 493 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 8: which I love them, right, we have a shutdown, they 494 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 8: get paid. That doesn't make any sense. They don't get 495 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 8: paid until we go back to work. But they don't 496 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 8: come to work and they get paid. This makes no sense. 497 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 8: That's why Ron's Ron Johnson's proposal is very smart. They 498 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 8: will never have the Chuck Schummer shutdowns. 499 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: Senator Scott, how is the confirmation process going in the 500 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 2: Senate for Trump nominees? We had, I think talk to 501 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 2: you about this a few months ago. There have been 502 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 2: a lot of concerns raised for those who are paying 503 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: attention that Democrats are doing everything except pull the fire alarm, 504 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: so to speak, to try to prevent nominees from getting through. 505 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: Has that process started to work a little bit more efficiently? 506 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: Are you getting Trump's picks in place? How's that been 507 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 2: going in the Senate side. 508 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 8: It's like they don't They don't think that Trump should 509 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 8: have anybody work with it. So he needs to put 510 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 8: together a team. That's what presidents do, right. This is 511 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 8: the first time in the history of the country that 512 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 8: the opposing party of the president will do everything they 513 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 8: can to block all nominees. I don't care who who 514 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 8: the nominee is. And so what we've had to do 515 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 8: in the Senate is we had to change the rules 516 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 8: because the Democrats are Democrats are blocking every every every nominee, 517 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 8: even nominees that they will vote for. They've been blocking. 518 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 8: They don't want to do so we've changed the rules. 519 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 8: We had quite a few of our nominees approved last 520 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 8: week that we will be back next week and we'll 521 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 8: get my goal. I think the goal is we're going 522 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 8: to have over one hundred nominees done in the next 523 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 8: ten days. Uh so we've got to get Trump's nominees 524 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 8: done and we you know, unfortunately, but what Chuck Schumer's 525 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 8: doing with all these antics is he's saying that SIMATE 526 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 8: was was set up to force us to work together. 527 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 8: He's just saying, no way. You know, we don't ever 528 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 8: have to work together anymore because Chuck Schumer is going 529 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 8: to fight everything, and so we have to change the 530 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 8: rules to get anything done. Schumer needs to go. 531 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: What do you think about the Trump Library? On a 532 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: positive side here, I mentioned this to Buck. He lives 533 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: in Miami. He's one of your constituents now, Senator. I 534 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in Florida as well. What 535 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: does it say about the state of Florida, the trajectory 536 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: of the country overall that a big city like Miami. 537 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people listening to us right 538 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: now in Miami are saying, this is great, We're going 539 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: to have the Trump Presidential Library here. What does it 540 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: say about Miami. What does it say about Florida. 541 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 8: Well, Florida's become the center of the Republican Party. You 542 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 8: look at his whole team, So many of them, Pam Bondi, 543 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 8: Susie Wiles, so many of them come out of Florida. 544 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 8: So he and you know, as you know, the President 545 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 8: moved out in New York and moved down to Florida. 546 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 8: So you know, whether it's in Palm Beach, whether it's 547 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 8: in Miami, it's going to be. You know, it's going 548 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 8: to be in I can't imagine it's not going to 549 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 8: be in Florida. I know the piece of property they're 550 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 8: talking about Miami. I was just down at the Freedom 551 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 8: Tower just the other day that they've completely recently redone. 552 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 8: That's where all the Cuban refugees were processed when they 553 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 8: were coming in the sixties and seventies. So I you know, 554 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 8: look wherever it is. I look forward to bringing my 555 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 8: grandkids there to see it. 556 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: One last question for you, Jimmy Kimmel. 557 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: The story surrounding that as we're talking to you, next 558 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: Star and Saint Clair Local affiliates are not carrying the show, 559 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: and they just said, you come out of the business 560 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: World Next Star is continuing to evaluate and we're engaged 561 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: in discussions. We want diverse interests of the communities we 562 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: serve to be reflected and respected. What should happen here? 563 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: In your mind, what's the right solution? 564 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 8: Well, I'll make a business decision. Jimmy Kimmel has become 565 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 8: just toxic. You know, his audience, audience has gone down. 566 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 8: People are saying they don't want to see it. Like 567 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 8: I remember when Johnny Carson had a show, uh and 568 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 8: and Jay Jaylen know they were funny, right they This 569 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 8: is just topsy with guys like Jimmy kimmeldoo. So I've 570 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 8: never seen a show. I don't plan on watching a show. 571 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 8: I assume that they're making a decision. Is this good 572 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 8: for our audience? And is it fiscal Is it financially beneficial? 573 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 8: And think about it. If it's not, do you think 574 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 8: why would they keep him on the air? So and 575 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 8: I heard his audiences. His viewership has gone way down. 576 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 8: Uh So, I don't know why. You know, I'm not 577 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 8: gonna watch it. I know, I don't know why Republicans 578 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 8: would ever watch the guy.

I did a show 582 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 8: most Mondays and for anybody to to say than what 583 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 8: they said. 584 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: So is just toxic appreciating here.

We're trying 628 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: to figure out the equal time rule over here and 629 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 2: how it applies to these different broadcast networks and what's 630 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: going on with all this stuff, because it's you got 631 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: to spend a lot of time on this to understand 632 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: where the ins and outs are. But I know that 633 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 2: it was brought up just a few days ago by 634 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: the FCC chairman, Brennan Carr, saying, hold on a second. 635 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: The View is a political show, The View is on ABC, 636 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: the View is a broadcast network. Why is the View 637 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: not subject to FCC equal time? And I don't have 638 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: any I do not. I think that he asked the 639 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 2: questions which the only answer is it should be subject 640 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: to equal time. If that's a rule that we're going 641 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,239 Speaker 2: to have. 642 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: Yes, this is where I sit around, and it's one 643 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: thing to notice that things are broken in the country. 644 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: When it comes to discourse, and you and I sit 645 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: around a lot thinking about this, I feel like, and 646 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: some of you can say, you know what, Clay, you're crazy, 647 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: But I feel like if you give me an opportunity 648 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: to talk to a room full of Democrat voters, I 649 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: can convince them that they're wrong about a lot of 650 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: what they believe in. 651 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 2: Now. 652 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: I understand that a lot of you are like, you're crazy, Clay, 653 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: you have no hope for that. They're not going to 654 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: listen to you. All those things can be true. You 655 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: can disagree with me, but I feel like a lot 656 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: of the things that we argue on this show, a 657 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: lot of left wingers have not been exposed to. They 658 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: haven't had to consider or have their own opinions challenged. 659 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: And when it comes to ABC, NBCCBS, we give those 660 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: public airwaves. Why would you allow Stephen Colbert to only 661 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: have left wing guest If he wants to have on 662 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks and he wants to give political opinions, that's different. 663 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: But when you're putting on senators and presidential candidates, to me, 664 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: you should have to put the others on too. 665 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 2: Well. I'm I'm going through the rules now, and the 666 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: rules are are a bit of a tangled mess. But 667 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 2: and this is so you're suggesting that our government does 668 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: not have a coherent policy when it comes to uh yeah, 669 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 2: maybe a little bit, a little bit, a little possibility there. 670 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 2: I would say, there's the bona fide news program exemption. 671 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: So we are a news program that does a lot 672 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: of commentary, right, And I think that this is where, uh, 673 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 2: this is where a lot of different shows would be 674 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 2: clearly in the uh you know, clearly in the exempt 675 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 2: category because you say, well, I'm a bonafi, I do news. 676 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 2: I'm a news program, and I can have on whoever 677 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 2: I want as part of my news coverage. And that's 678 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 2: an editorial decision. The comedy shows are not news programs 679 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: and they're on the public airwaves, right or are they 680 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 2: going to argue that they are news programs and then 681 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: give up the fact at their comedy shows. This is 682 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 2: where that's interesting. 683 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: I think this is what I'm going to The market 684 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: based solution to me is if you did a show 685 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: that appealed to everyone, you would have a bigger audience, 686 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: everybody would make more money. That's a market based solution 687 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: your argument, and I think it's potentially true. I don't 688 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: know that it's true, is oh no, no, What would 689 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: now happen is whatever audience you do have, if you 690 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: had a balance show, your actually audience would go smaller. 691 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: And so being a left wing comedy show. 692 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: No, no, I don't mean interrupt, I'm just gonna say yes, 693 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 2: But Clay, I think you would have to burn down 694 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: the village in order to save it, meaning you'd have 695 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 2: to be willing to flush out your existing audience basically 696 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: entirely and build a new audience, which would be a 697 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: long and expensive proposition. 698 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: So if the market based solution does not work, is 699 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: there a regulatory solution that would work? And that's where 700 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: I circle back around to if you're gonna have on 701 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, Chuck Schumer to take shots next to 702 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Show, why should that not 703 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: be considered political content and you not have to offer 704 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: a seat to the equivalent of Chuck Schumer. Now, Republicans 705 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: might say, I don't want to go on Stephen Colbert, 706 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: it's a waste of my time. But to me, if 707 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 1: they're on the public airwaves and they're basically doing Democrat propaganda, 708 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: that should be seen as a violation of the law, 709 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: and if you can't get a market based solution i e. 710 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: Republicans by sneakers too, let's appeal to everyone. Why not 711 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: using the standard of equal time to try to make 712 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: an argument that you are violating the law and the 713 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: auspices of the license that you have been given to 714 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: provide a full scope of representation. 715 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: This to me is a fascinating question. 716 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: Maybe we need to dive into it tomorrow nerd out 717 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: on it a little bit, but I think it offers 718 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: a pathway to successfu
