1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Welcome in our number two Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: rolling through the Friday edition of the program and we 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: are joined now by Senator Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania. They 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: just had a major AI event, Energy and Innovation Summit, 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: lots of AI money pouring into the state of Pennsylvania. 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: And Senator appreciate you joining us. And I know that 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: you have a good, huge, successful business background, and Buck 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: and I were talking about AI writ large, So before 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: we have you dive into the Senate and everything else 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: that you're doing there, I'm just curious, as you look 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: at this through the lens of a business guy, is 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: it in your mind AI and its impact going to 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: be transformational on a level like the Internet was in 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the nineties to the culture in the world. 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: Do you think more or less? 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Where are we what you think from a business perspective, 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: people should know about AI? 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, guys, how are your I guess, good afternoon. 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Yeah. I think this is the 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: next great industrial revolution, I think, and and the stakes 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 3: are so high because it has huge implications for our 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: economic situation, our our economic opportunity has huge implications for 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: national security. We are in a fight. We are in 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: a battle with China for leadership in artificial intelligence, and 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 3: if we don't win that leadership battle, we're going to 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: have everything at risk, our infrastructure, our data, our very 28 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: way of life. It's that it's that significant. And you know, 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: the case that we made on Tuesday with the President 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh was that the intersection of energy innovation and 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: AI innovation is where the future lies and that America 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: has to win it both. And if if we're going 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: to win, we have to win in places like Pennsylvania 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: because you have to have abundant energy. You have to 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: have natural gas, nuclear power, fossil fuels, all forms of energy. 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: You have to have incredible energy resources. You have to 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,559 Speaker 3: have incredible skilled workers to be able to build that infrastructure, 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: and you have to have the most exceptional technology leadership, 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: like we have a Carnegie Mellon And I guess the 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: last point I'd make, guys, because this is not a 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: you know, we got to win this over the next 42 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: decade kind of thing. This battle is playing out over 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: the next six months, twelve months, twenty four to thirty six. 44 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: This is something that if we don't continue to have leadership, 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: we're going to look back and say we missed the moment. 46 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: Senator, appreciate you being with us. I've mentioned before that 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 4: one of my forays in AI was just taking a 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: standard blood test that i'd gotten back with all the 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: different numbers and the rest of it, and loading it 50 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 4: in and saying, tell me everything I need to know 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 4: about all my different market And it was fascinating. Not 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: only did it give me incredibly detailed analysis more so 53 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 4: than even what I had gotten from a pretty long 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: sit down with my doctor about it, but I could 55 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 4: do follow up questions, get incredible deep dive information in 56 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: real time about anything. So to me, that's just one 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: little test case of how AI. This was all through 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: an AI system. How AI is going to change things 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: for people out there right now, whether you're you know 60 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 4: you're working for a mid sized company, whether you own 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: a car dealership, whether you work at a hardware store, 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: you're a truck driver. Like, what are the ways that 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: at a summing like this you can see the world 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: is going to change and the ways that it will 65 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: affect people in their day to day. Let's start with 66 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: any of the positives before we worry about skynet, you know, 67 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: leading us in a nuclear war. Like, what are the 68 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: things that you see really getting better, more efficient, more helpful, 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: and more wealth creation going for people. 70 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: Well, you know, the funny thing about this is that 71 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: it's the marriage of this incredible new sinking about algorithms 72 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: and data and really taking this unique ability to collate 73 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: all this intelligence in artificial intelligence. But it's the marriage 74 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: of that with infrastructure, data centers, and new energy capabilities. 75 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: So at the summint, I guess the one thing that 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: would probably surprise people the most is the fact that 77 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: this boom is going to have huge implications for boot 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 3: collar jobs. Mike Row was there and he was saying, 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: this is unbelievable, because what's happening is that there's going 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: to be this huge demand for welders and steam fitters 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: and pipe fitters and electricians to build out this enormous 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: infrastructure because AI requires enormous energy, and so energy demand 83 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: is going to triple over the next fifteen years, and 84 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: that's going to create this enormous opportunity for skilled workers. 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the maybe surprising dimensions 86 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: of it. At the same time, it's also going to 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: put enormous pressure on certain types of white collar jobs. 88 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: You know, I just did a couple of AI searches 89 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: this morning on my positions, just to see what they 90 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 3: would say. I said, what's Dave McCormick's position on Ukraine? 91 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 3: And it laid out in excruciating detail my positions on 92 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: Ukraine and what we should be doing there, and. 93 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: By the way, accurately. In your mind when you. 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: This was very extremely accurate. It drew on all sorts 95 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: of different it was. You could have written the article. 96 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: My point is you could have basically said, if you're 97 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: a reporter, you could have asked that question and that 98 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 3: would have been ninety percent of the article. And so 99 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: it's going to put pressure on all sorts of white 100 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: collar opportunities which are in the software industry. I was 101 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 3: with Saki Nedela not long ago, the SEO of Microsoft, 102 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: and I asked him the impact. He said, you know, 103 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 3: teeth eighty percent of the development work that our software 104 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 3: developers used to do can now be done by AI, 105 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 3: which is really good in his mind because that allows 106 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: our developers to focus on the twenty percent or the 107 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: ten percent that's the highest value. But this is going 108 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: to put enormous pressure on certain types of jobs and listen, 109 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: this is a new reality. So my view is that 110 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 3: America and Pennsylvania needs to embrace this change and be 111 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: at the forefront, be leaders in it, because unfortunately it's 112 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: inevitable and the stakes of not being the leader are 113 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: so high. 114 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: I think what you just said is so interesting there 115 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: about the search that you did on your policy on Ukraine. 116 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: I have been hammering this for a lot of writers 117 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: out there, and I'm sure you've seen this a lot day. 118 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: From the background of a business guy, so much of 119 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: life is figuring out what added value. 120 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Can you provide? 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: Right? 122 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean, in whatever job you do, what can you 123 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: do that's better than the average guy or gal that 124 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: might be doing your job. One thing that I think 125 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: this is going to require of everybody is mediocrity is 126 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: going to be replaced quickly by AI. So whether you're 127 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: selling cars, or whether you're writing articles, or whatever you 128 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: are doing in the larger universe, I would suggest familiarize 129 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: yourself with AI because it can take you to a 130 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: different level of excellence. But if you're not pursuing excellence 131 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: in what you do, you're going to be very replaceable. 132 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: Would that be a good contextualization you think business wise? 133 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: I really I agree with you one hundred percent. And 134 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: I also think, you know, listen, this change changes. It's hard. 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of anxiety out there and 136 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: I understand that. And there are genuine and legitimate concerns 137 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: about the national security implications of AI, the privacy implication. 138 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: So there there is UH, as Buck said, there's a 139 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: there's there's there's pros, and there's cons However, it is coming. 140 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: This is an enormous mistransformation, and I think we need 141 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: to lean into it and recognize that leadership UH, and 142 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: controlling our destiny is. We can't put our heads in 143 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: the sand and think this isn't happening. Controlling our destiny 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: as a nation, as a commonwealth in Pennsylvania, and as 145 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: individuals is the only way through it. And I agree 146 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 3: with you it's in many ways. AI is going to 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: ensure and enforce even more of a meritocracy, in the 148 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: sense that those who can contribute unique value, I think 149 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: are going to be the beneficiaries of it. And as 150 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: I said, it's not what it's iron the irony is. 151 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: I think those with you know, unique skills in the 152 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: in the in the building trades, in the blue collar 153 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: world may have a really unique moment. 154 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: You know, Senator, I saw that the that that Google 155 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 4: is working through what is a brook Field too and 156 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: this came up at the AI saw it to get 157 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: access to hydro electric power plants. Right, So, the the 158 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 4: energy needs of this AI revolution are going to be 159 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: a challenge all on all on its own and all 160 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: on their own. And so I'm just wondering, do we 161 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 4: have some sense as to one, how much of an 162 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: expansion of the of the grid we're going to need. 163 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: And then how is the Trump administration trying to align 164 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 4: with the not just the the idea of drill, baby drill, 165 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: but everything. We're talking nuclear, all all of the above 166 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: to try to meet what's going to be power needs 167 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: a surge beyond anything we've seen before. 168 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm tinking, guys, this this thing was awesome. 169 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I was so proud, proud to be part 170 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: of it, and it was you know, we had we 171 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 3: had sixty major CEOs, twenty companies that made announcements and 172 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 3: you know, this was something I had asked the President 173 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: if he'd be willing to do, right right after I 174 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: won the election. I said, would you come to Pennsylvania. 175 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: You know he had campaigned in twenty seventeen. He made 176 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: the famous line that I'm more worried about the people 177 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,599 Speaker 3: of Pittsburgh than the people of Paris. As related to 178 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 3: the Paris, of course, so he comes. Wet we invite 179 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: these CEOs. We have a big chunk of the cabinet. 180 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: There Sartrey Besson sectary of Ludnik Sar Trey Bergham sectary, right, 181 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: Lee Zelden, David Sachs. Just this unbelievable collection, and the 182 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 3: CEO is there. Announced ninety two billion dollars of investment. 183 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: This is in Some of these things have been working 184 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: on for years. Some of these things are are brand new, 185 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 3: out of the blue. Twenty five billion dollar investment by 186 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: Blackstone in two major data center campuses in northeastern Pennsylvania. 187 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: And if you look at the investments, they split up, 188 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: which is instructive to your question about thirty six billion 189 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: dollars of data centers. There was another thirty five billion 190 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: dollars of energy infrastructure. This is transmission to meet the 191 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 3: needs distribution operations. First Energy made a huge fifteen billion 192 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: dollar announcement of investing in energy instructure, because you've got 193 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: to have the data centers, you've got to have the infrastructure, 194 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: and you've got to have the energy project. So there 195 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: was a huge announcements around conversions of coal to natural 196 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: gas plants. A Westinghouse directly related to the President's Executive 197 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: Order on Nuclear Power, announced commitment to building two or 198 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: a ten new nuclear reactors six billion dollars. So to 199 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 3: your question, to make this work, you need investment in data, 200 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: you need investment in infrastructure, you need investment in production. 201 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 3: And Pennsylvania is kind of unique because we've got we're 202 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: the second largest energy producer in the country, fourth largest 203 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: natural gas reserves in the world, huge nuclear installed base. 204 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: You know, microsoftist did a big deal with Constellation on 205 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: Three Mile Island. Who would have thought. So, you know, 206 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 3: there's no way to meet this energy demand, which is 207 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: going to triple in the next fifteen years without embracing 208 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: all forms of That doesn't mean subsidizing them. What they've 209 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: got to be economic all forms of energy, and then 210 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: having the infrastructure to make sure that we keep prices 211 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 3: low for consumers and that we meet this big surge 212 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: and create these great jobs for Pennsylvania's. 213 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: Last question for you, and you can tell me if 214 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: you think I'm crazy. I know you were at Butler Pennsylvania. 215 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: We've talked with you as the one year anniversary comes near. 216 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: We've talked with you about what that experience was like. 217 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: You've heard gunfire before, you immediately recognized it. I said 218 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: on the show this week, as we talked about the 219 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: one year anniversary and the implications and significance that I 220 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: thought Butler Pa that location should become a national monument 221 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: of sorts, used as a not only historical location, but 222 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: also as a testament to combating political violence. 223 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: Is this a crazy idea or do you think the idea? 224 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 3: I love it. 225 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: I love it, Clay, and I loved it too, Senator. 226 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 4: So Clay's getting a lot of traction here, a lot 227 00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 4: of the audience. 228 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: Well can I help you? And you've got a lot 229 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: more influence on this, But this is your state. I 230 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: don't want that place. And look, I live on the 231 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: battlefield of Franklin, Tennessee. You know, I'm a history nerd. 232 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes history gets paved over and we forget decades one 233 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: hundred years later. You're like, man, I wish I could 234 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: really see this battlefield or I wish I could experience 235 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: the significance of this place as it might have looked 236 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: then and understand why it's culturally resonant to me. Butler 237 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: can be that not only today, but I think as 238 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: the passions of the day fade, for kids and grandkids 239 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: out there who want to study the Trump era and 240 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: understand how close we came to disaster there. I like 241 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: the idea of creating a monument that's opposed to political violence. Thankfully, 242 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't a side of political violence. We don't have 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: to be an RFK, MLK or JFK like site, but 244 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: so it's not deally Plaza, thankfully, but why not create 245 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: something that is significant there and all that. 246 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: I think it's a great idea. I hadn't thought of it, 247 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: but it's a great idea. I do think memorializing what 248 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 3: happened there, and frankly, you know you've been a strong 249 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: voice in this. This is across political parties. You know, 250 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: not long ago we had an arson attack on our 251 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 3: governor here in Pennsylvania, wh's a Democrat, so correct, we 252 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: need to speak out clearly and decisively against political violence, 253 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: and I think memorializing I say that to people, you know, 254 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: as you know. I was right there on the stage. Yes, 255 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: it's like being next to the limousine when Kennedy was 256 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: shot the convertible in in Dallas, Like this is this 257 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 3: is an iconic moment of American history. And thank god, 258 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 3: yes that we missed. The sniper missed the president. The 259 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: assassin missed present the president by an inch. And I 260 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: love the idea of memorialized that. So that's something maybe 261 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: we can talk about offline. But I like that idea, Clay, 262 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: And you know you're listen. You're a You're a font 263 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: of good ideas. Is he always like to fuck? 264 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 4: He certainly has the confidence for it, I will say. 265 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 3: I will. 266 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying everything is brilliant, but I do have 267 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: to me this is one that does make sense. Poor 268 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: bodcast to listen to ideas like this all day. But 269 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: Senator you can help make this happen. I'd just like 270 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: to see the site preserved. And I do think it's 271 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: a it's a worthy idea for generations to come. 272 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: It's a great idea. 273 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: Let me run with it. 274 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: Thank you, Clay. 275 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: All right, thank you.

So that's the story of the fainting couch. 324 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: That's what happens to me. 325 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 4: When Clay used a salty language or talks about theobs 326 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 4: it regularly, he gets the vapors that he grabbed his 327 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 4: pearls and he collapses. 328 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 2: True, all right. 329 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 4: According to former presidential advisor Jim Rickards, the same man 330 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: who predicted the two thousand and eight crash from twenty 331 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: sixteen victory in the twenty twenty pandemic, there's something really 332 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 4: big coming for this country in a great way. 333 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: He believes. 334 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 4: Rickords that President Trump is about to at leash one 335 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 4: hundred fifty trillion dollars state asset that's been hidden for 336 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 4: over a century. This could trigger an economic boom not 337 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 4: seen in one hundred years and send a small sector 338 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 4: of the market skyrocketing. You need to act quickly to 339 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: get in on this. Remember, President Trump moves fast, and 340 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 4: he wants to get as much done in his first 341 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 4: two years as possible, and once this breaks this mainstream news, 342 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 4: the opportunity could vanish forever. So go hear what Jim 343 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: Rickards has to say about this. It's exciting stuff.

That's 345 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: birthright twenty twenty five dot com. 346 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 347 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We're rolling through the 348 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: Friday edition of the program. And I mentioned this off 349 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: the top, but I do, and let me just also 350 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: mention we had a quick turn there, but I think 351 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: the Butler PA Memorial Site, National monument. 352 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 2: We're gonna make. 353 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: This happen, and it's gonna make some people angry because 354 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna be like you can imagine what they would say. 355 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: They're the kind of people who in modern day, even 356 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: without course it's on, would have such low testosterone that 357 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: they might need to fall onto fainting couches men because 358 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: Trump gives them the vapors to tie that in. They 359 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: definitely are offended by my body language about bucks and women, 360 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: but in general, I think this is a no brainer. 361 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: I also think the amount of winning sometimes gets lost 362 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: because there is this expectation. I think in life to 363 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: focus oftentimes on what you're not getting as opposed to 364 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: what you are getting. And we're getting a pretty awesome 365 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: six months so far from Trump. And it's not only 366 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: inside of the true world, it's also the larger cultural surroundings. 367 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's significant because, yes, you all out 368 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: there listening to us right now. You know what's going 369 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: on in the world politically, you know what's going on 370 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: with foreign affairs. You are plugged in. Thank you for 371 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: hanging out with us every day. Most people aren't, y'all. 372 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: Most people are super busy. They don't really know what's 373 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: going on politically, but they are impacted by the larger 374 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: cultural universe. Those people are maybe even more impacted by 375 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: left wing political thought without recognizing that they're being impacted 376 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: by left wing political thought. And I bring that up 377 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: because something that I think is significant happened yesterday in 378 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: the cultural landscape. And it's connected NPR and PBS taxpayer funding. 379 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: After basically forty years of attempting to do it two generations, 380 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: Trump did it. The money that you and I give 381 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: to the federal government that then is routed to NPR 382 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: and PBS taxpayer money is over. Simultaneously, Stephen Colbert was fired. 383 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: They're basically ending his show, and I dove into some 384 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: of the the economics on this show. I know a 385 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: little bit right with the economics of this radio show. 386 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: I've obviously done a lot of Fox News, I produce 387 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: and help run, and have run digital shows for some 388 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: time through OutKick, so I'm aware of what shows cost. 389 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 1: The Colbert Show budget blew my mind. Let me hit 390 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: you with a few stats here. Stephen Colbert had two 391 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: hundred employees working on his show. They had two hundred 392 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: brains trying to make you laugh, and they failed because 393 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: he went full on politics. They couldn't remotely be funny. 394 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: The show had a budget of one hundred and thirty 395 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: million dollars. Putting that into sports context, team looked this up. 396 00:21:59,280 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: I believe the. 397 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: Florida Marlins, or the Miami Marlins as they are known now, 398 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: the whole baseball team gets paid sixty seven million dollars. 399 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert's TV show had twice the budget of the 400 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: entire Miami Marlins professional baseball player team budget. 401 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: And Stephen Colbert made fifteen million dollars on this show. 402 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: And he's now gone and the show is going to 403 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: be canceled in May, and I believe we have some 404 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: fun audio of this, the final this is too perfect, 405 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: the final guest when the first guest after shounced his show, 406 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: exactly who you'd want to have on if you're trying 407 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: to entertain people at night before they go to sleep, 408 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: and you'll give them you want Adam schiff On, if 409 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: you want somebody who's really funny. Look, Stephen Colbert had 410 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: a platform handed to him that he didn't build, that 411 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: he didn't honor by doing the thing that he first 412 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: and foremost should have done, the mission of that role. 413 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Like we always say here, hey, this is the house 414 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: that Rush built. Our mission is to serve you the audience, 415 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: as best we can every single day and carry on 416 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: Rush's legacy. Stephen Colbert's mission should have been, obviously it's 417 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: a different platform, different role. His mission should have been 418 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: to make the American people laugh and relax, to the 419 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: greatest of his ability, all people, just to make people 420 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: laugh at night. And instead he decided that he was 421 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: going to join the ranks of the Trump deranged and 422 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: pander to the political proclivities of a bunch of cry 423 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: babies who can't handle that they can't live in reality. 424 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: So this was a richly deserved cancelation. Stephen Colbert destroyed 425 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: the audience that he was given, and the fact that 426 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: he was getting paid as much as he did is 427 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: an absurdity. And it's just a corporate really a corporate 428 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: legacy thing that he was able to seize for himself 429 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: to get that kind of a price tag. 430 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: And now I think we don't have to really hear 431 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: much or deal with him. He's not a great stand up. 432 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 4: He's not going to go on to do great things. 433 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 4: He'll probably launch some crappy podcast that will get a 434 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 4: boost for about two months play. And then he realized, wait, 435 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 4: no one actually really cares what I. 436 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: Have to say. 437 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. Were you, I know 438 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: we've talked about this a little bit before. Were you 439 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: a late night TV show viewer back in the day, 440 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: maybe when I was really young, I was a Leno guy, 441 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: even though I grew up in New York, I was 442 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: a Leno guy. Okay, So I loved the Letterman, and 443 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: I loved the Letterman even when he was on after 444 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: for the late Late Late or what was it called 445 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: late night, which came where you realized. 446 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 4: It definitely two different people on the show, thinking about 447 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 4: very things, thinking about things in a very different way. 448 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 4: I always thought Letterman was a total just a total 449 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 4: product of the machine, not funny at all, and a 450 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: smarmy jerk jerk. Oh wow, I really liked the Letterman. 451 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: But what I will say is, first of all, most 452 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: of the time, when you're a kid not able to 453 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: stay up, I loved staying up. I felt like in 454 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: the summers, this is a whole different the topic, but 455 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: in the summers, basically I was just home all day 456 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: by myself. 457 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: My kids now have a. 458 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: Billion different summer camps that they go to for sports, 459 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: and they go to all these different events. 460 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: I was at home. 461 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I would read, and I would watch the Chicago Cubs 462 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: and Harry Carey on WGN, and then I would watch 463 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: like baseball because the Cubs used to play only during 464 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: the day, and I would stay up late and I 465 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: would watch David Letterman most nights, and he came on 466 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: I think at eleven thirty Central Time in Nashville, and 467 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: he was after Johnny Carson back in the day, if 468 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, and then after Jay Leno eventually, if 469 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, and then obviously he left and he 470 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: went to the Late Show, and this is the show 471 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 1: that's now being canceled that Colbert has followed him on. 472 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 4: Colbert has a legacy. I'm like, god, I always like, 473 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 4: I like Craig Ferguson. I goottish bad. Yeah, I thought 474 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: he was. I thought he was funny. I thought he 475 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 4: was and very self effacing. I didn't watch him religiously, 476 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: but I remember whenever I would stumble on to him. 477 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 4: I really I'd say I watched Late Night from like 478 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 4: seventh grade maybe through high school, so about four or 479 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 4: five years would have been like, you know, the late nineties, 480 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: early two thousands, and I thought Craig Ferguson was uh 481 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 4: maybe that was even later on. I forget when he 482 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: was on, but he was pretty funny. And I'm like, 483 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 4: I like Conan too. Really, the only one I don't 484 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: like is Letterman and oh no that's not true. And 485 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 4: then the current crop are all garbage, garbage, Okay. I 486 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: So if you had told me when I. 487 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: Was fourteen or fifteen, hey, you get to have any 488 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: job in media, there would have been two jobs in 489 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: media that I wanted fourteen or fifteen years old, I 490 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: would have wanted to be like late night talk show host, 491 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: seems like an incredible job. You're trying to make people laugh, 492 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: you're even parts Democrat Republican, you know, ridicule. And the 493 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: other one would have been sports center anchor. I would 494 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: have the idea that you got to go on talk 495 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: about sports. I would have said those were the two 496 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: that I would say are the best possible jobs in media. 497 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: I think Colbert's legacy is he destroyed late night television 498 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: because it's one thing if you fail, right, if Stephen 499 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: Colbert had a show and he had failed, that happens, right. 500 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Everybody gets canceled at some point in time. If you 501 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: do movies, they don't always they're not always box office 502 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 1: huge successes. If you do media long enough, you're probably 503 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: gonna get fired somewhere, or your company's going to go 504 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: bankrupt and you're gonna have to find a new job. 505 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: Just FYI, that's happened to Buck, That's happened to me, 506 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: Like that's life in the media universe. I will say 507 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: Colbert was bombing. He decided to turn his comedy show 508 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: into left wing propaganda, and everybody else followed him. Jimmy 509 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: Fallon followed him, Jimmy Kimmel followed him. Gutfeld obviously went 510 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: the different direction at Fox News. But the legacy of 511 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: Colbert is not only that he's getting canceled now. It's 512 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: that he destroyed late night television once and for all. 513 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: Whatever you thought about Letterman Leno back in the day, Conan, 514 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: whatever you thought about Johnny Carson, that was I think 515 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: a cultural connective tissue. 516 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: Late at night. People would put on those shows. 517 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: They would kick back, they would laugh, and they would 518 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: get ready for bed, And now it doesn't exist. I 519 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: think all these shows are going to get canceled, and 520 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: I think they killed themselves. And I think Guttfeld will continue. 521 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you probably watch that 522 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: on Fox News at night. But I do think it's 523 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: unfortunate that that entire cottage industry is basically going to vanish. 524 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: I really do, and I'm gonna miss it now. People 525 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: might say, oh, well, the podcast universe, whether it's Theo Vaughn, 526 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: who is a Nashville based guy, or there's all these 527 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: different comedy podcasts. Certainly Joe Rogan has an element of this, 528 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: and maybe people watch those now that would have watched 529 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: late night television, and that's the biggest combatant. But I 530 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: do think if Colbert hadn't gone left wing political, I 531 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: don't think his show would be keep getting canceled right now. 532 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: I think there would have been enough longevity in those 533 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: shows that everybody else wouldn't have followed him over the 534 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: woke waterfall if all they had to do was make 535 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: fun of Democrats and Republicans. 536 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: I always had to do. 537 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 4: I think that he chose to selfish and easy route, 538 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: which was to just turn his show into the New 539 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 4: York Times editorial page with jokes, yes, which is what 540 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 4: it became. And and it also was really sanctimonious and 541 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 4: kind of mean spirited a lot of the time, and 542 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 4: instead of just you know, you can make jokes. 543 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: Look, Shane gillis. 544 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 4: Who you and I were playing playing some clips from yesterday. 545 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 4: He's a guy I'm not sure he's I wouldn't say 546 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 4: he's conservative. I mean he's he's willing to He says 547 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 4: things sometimes that he plays around. He basically goes after 548 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 4: both sides from what I can see, Like, he'll make 549 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 4: fun of the wokeness, but he'll also take some shots 550 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: at the right, but not in a mean way. In 551 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 4: a funny way. And so I'm not as clear. I 552 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 4: think he would probably think of himself almost as like 553 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 4: a Joe Rogan politically, a little more non aligned. 554 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: That's just my guess. I don't know. 555 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 4: You might know him better than I do, but he's 556 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 4: not a dogmatically right wing guy. But you get the 557 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 4: sense that his overriding goal is to say things that 558 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 4: have a little edge and make people laugh. That is 559 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: what he's actually trying to do. Stephen Colbert, you tune in, 560 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 4: and it was no different than MSNBC. It's just they 561 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 4: would slap a joke on the end of the line, 562 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 4: and that's just that's gross, and it's really an abandonment 563 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 4: of what that show was supposed to be. 564 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: What I would say about Shane Gillis, and this is 565 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: my view on comedy to the extent you needed at all, 566 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: The most egalitarian fair thing you can do is make 567 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: fun of everybody across the board. So what they tried 568 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: to do with identity politics would say, Oh, a white 569 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: male comic could never make fun of a black woman. 570 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: That's the New York magazine headline after Shane Gillis's SP's 571 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: is basically, oh, these are unfunny jokes. You can't make 572 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: jokes about the WNBA. Why much of the WNBA deserves 573 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: to be ridiculed. So, by the way, could the NBA 574 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: or the NFL. And what I would say is basically 575 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: the South Park doctrine, which is the goal is humor 576 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: above everything. If there is gold in those comedic hills, 577 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: it should be mined whether the person who's getting made 578 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: fun of is white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, rands, 579 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: whatever your identity is. If you aren't being made fun of, 580 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: then we're applying identity politics to the equation. And identity 581 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: politics destroys comedy because it turns it into propaganda, which 582 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: is what Stephen Colbert became. And I think that's why 583 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: his show failed. And I think it's why a show 584 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: like South Park has remained culturally relevant for thirty years, 585 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: whatever you think of it, because they're gonna go where 586 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: the humor is, even if it makes people uncomfortable. And 587 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: often great comedy does make people uncomfortable. You shouldn't always 588 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: love every joke. 589 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: That's me on the soap. 590 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 4: You know, when Shane Gillis says that watching History Channel 591 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: documentaries about World War Two is stage one conservative, like 592 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 4: that's funny. Yeah, you know, like like you you know, 593 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 4: you're just you're you're going down the the long dark 594 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 4: pathway of conservatism because you want to watch History Channel 595 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 4: documentaries like no, and that's a gentle joke. But I'm 596 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: just saying, like, you know, that's actually meant to be funny. 597 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 4: I I like, I like that joke. I thought it 598 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 4: was pretty funny. It's prety true. And now all of 599 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 4: a sudden, people are like good things. Comedy not gonna 600 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 4: stun you. But I like a lot of comedy that 601 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 4: others would consider to be edgy and inappropriate. 602 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 2: So come after me for that too, all right. 603 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 4: Save money on your cell phone service without sacrificing any 604 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 4: quality in your calls. 605 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: That is what you get with pure Talk. 606 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 4: And when you switch to pure Talk from AT and T, Verizon, 607 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 4: or Mobile, you're gonna save hundreds of dollars a year. 608 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 4: Puretalk costs twenty five dollars a month for unlimited talk, 609 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 4: text and plenty of data every month.

I've 657 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: been on the road for the last four years. I 658 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: think the whole time, Buck, you've been with me. In 659 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: addition to all this, like I've been on the road 660 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: for Fox college Football. I'll still be at some of 661 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: the biggest games. I think Big Noon, for those of 662 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: you out there that are college football fans, is going 663 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: to be a really good show. And I love I 664 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: mean literally as you were and we just took this call, 665 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: but I was looking at the SEC media predictions on 666 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: social media for who's going to win the conference. So 667 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: college football is my favorite thing to do. That is 668 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: an escape right from the serious things that go on 669 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: in life. I know that's true for many of you 670 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: out there as well, whatever part of the country you're in. 671 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: Buck is great on this because he has pointed out 672 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: that I trust college football fans much more than I 673 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: do people who are non college football fans, and that's 674 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: going to continue. So I think it's going to be 675 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: pretty awesome for those of you who are paying attention. 676 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: Lots of good additions for Big Noon coming and I 677 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: can't wait for college football season to get here, and 678 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: I'll be on the road in addition to having a 679 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: new book out, I'll be on the road for the 680 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: big games in the SEC for Fox.
