00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: us after what was a big weekend. I'm sure many

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: of you are, like me, unable to escape. Taylor Swift

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: as the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco forty

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: nine ers will be advancing to the super Bowl next week.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: I'll be out in Las Vegas. We'll probably have some

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: fun with that. Buck had no idea the games were

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: going on. He was watching Masters of the Air or

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Masters that was called the New World War two Fighting Epic.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: We'll get a review for the air on Masters of

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: the Air. The title may be the most interesting part

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: of the whole thing.

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Not good. I'll give you my full review later. Lots

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: of stories that we're going to dive into. The border

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: battle has heated up and appears Republicans are not going

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: to allow Joe Biden to try to tie them to this.

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: We'll see whether or not that is successful. Awful story

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: from the Middle East where in Iran terror group struck

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: and killed three service members. We will be talking about

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: that and what is the appropriate response from the United

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: States to that act of aggression Over one hundred and

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: fifty acts of aggression from Iraqi Iranian affiliated terror groups

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: since the October seventh terror attack happened in Israel. We

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: will break all of that down. But Buck, this story

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: happened on Friday, and I don't want it to slide

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: under the radar just because it happened to have happened

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: on Friday afternoon while I, by the way, was trying

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: to teach my fifteen year old how to drive, So

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I was trying to keep tabs on this story producer

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: ally blowing up our phone with it, and then all

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: the news alerts that are coming down while I was

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: trying to avoid him driving off the road end or

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: hitting anybody. So that timing on Friday afternoon, I feel

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: like we haven't gotten as much intelligent discussion of that

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: issue as we should have. And to me, Buck, I

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: read and I looked at it. I don't know that

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a more indefensible civil trial verdict than

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: eighty three million dollars going to Egene Carroll. This is

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: a direct attack upon Donald Trump because of his political beliefs. Buck,

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: they changed the statute of limitations in New York to

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: even allow this lawsuit to happen in the first place,

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: and in particular they determined this jury, and also the

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: court system and the apparatus surrounding it in general, that

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Trump has to pay eighty three million dollars because he

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: denied that he committed sexual assault in twenty nineteen when

48
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: she wrote a book claiming that she had been sexually assaulted.

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: The entire premise of this judgment is, I think one

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: of the most indefensible civil court rulings that I can remember.

51
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do if someone accuses you

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: of sexual assault? How is it defamation to say that

53
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: they are lying and that you didn't do it? He

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: was never charged with a crime in this case. It's

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: much like the Kavanaugh case buck in that if you

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: actually look at all the details of this allegation, it

57
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: doesn't add up. She doesn't know when it was, she

58
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: does know what year it was, She's there's all these

59
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: different She's a clear kook in many ways in terms

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: of her public pronouncements, like when she said some people

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: think rape is sexy when she was on with Anderson Cooper.

62
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: And this is such a transparently political maneuver funded by

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's political adversaries. I don't want what happened to

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Trump on Friday to slide under the radar, and I

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: would love to hear from other lawyers on this too

66
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: during the course of the show. If you have opinions

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: like me, how is it buck that you can't deny

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: that you committed a crime without getting accused of defamation.

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So what they've done.

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: Is used a civil procedure that they changed, And I

71
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: would just point out the statute of limitations is a

72
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: very important thing. It's not just a technicality, because it's

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: really hard for an innocent person to prove their innocence

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: about something that happened, depending on the crime we're talking

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: about ten years ago, twenty years ago, you know, how

76
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: could you gather witnesses, how could you prove how could.

77
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: You have an alibi?

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: Right?

79
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: I mean, these things just become impossible at some point.

80
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: So it's not just some mere technicality. I know that

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: there's no statute for a murder and for a few

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: other things, but generally speaking, to just remove the statute

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: is not a minor is not a minor issue, and

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: to do so in this case to get Trump basically.

85
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really why they did it in New

86
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: York State specifically to open this up, I think is egregious,

87
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: but it's a preponderance of the evidence standard it say

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: this is the jury sits there and say, as you know,

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: I think he probably did it, but I don't really know,

90
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: and that's a massive difference. Then he did it beyond

91
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: a reasonable doubt. I am certain that this person did

92
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: this thing. But what they're doing is using a civil

93
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: verdict as essentially the foundation for well, clearly Trump must

94
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: have done this. Therefore, when he says he didn't do it,

95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: and when he says this woman is lying, he is

96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: defaming her. This is lawfair. This is all it is.

97
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: This is lawfair, pure and simple against Donald Trump. There's

98
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: so much of this. I'll be honest with you, Clay.

99
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: I think there should be more important things in the

100
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: world for us to talk about than another lawsuit against

101
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. But he's the presidential nominee. They're destroying our

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: system in order to destroy him. I want to talk

103
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: more about the border, which we will. I want to

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: talk more about this Iranian backed militia in Iraq and Syria,

105
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: which we will but in the meantime, you know, I

106
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: don't want it to be the constant Trump legal defense

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: here on the air. What choice do we have. They

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: make it im possible they will not stop. So the

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: only way to make them stop is to defeat them, right,

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we're forced into. And yeah,

111
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: they're making a massive political gamble, but they're also gambling

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: with the system because to your point, and this is

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: why I thought the Kavanaugh thing was really the ugliest

114
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 2: thing I've ever seen in American politics. A manifestly innocent

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: man being tortured by in some ritualized session by the

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Senate on the testimony of a loon. It was disgraceful

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: to the country, and Kamala Harris was a part of it.

118
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: But it was meant to set the precedent. And now

119
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: they're using that president to go after Trump.

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: And don't mistake what they're trying to do here too,

121
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: because expect that Leticia James is going to get from

122
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: her ally, the judge in the business lawsuit against the

123
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Trump organization a verdict a penalty of somewhere in the

124
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: neighborhood of three hundred and fifty million dollars. That's what

125
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: I would set the over under it. So then you

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: combine it with the eighty eight million, and you're talking

127
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: about Trump having to host, even to appeal somewhere around

128
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million dollars with other civil liabilities outstanding,

129
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: which could lead to further dollars that are coming out

130
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: of his pocket. Even if you're super rich, most people

131
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: don't have four hundred and fifty million dollars. Most people

132
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: don't have eighty eight million dollars in cash, even for

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: the very wealthy that's often tied up in assets, real estate,

134
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: all these different holdings. And so the idea that you

135
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: could be that you could be responsible for defamation for

136
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: denying that you sexually assaulted someone is one of the craziest,

137
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: most broken, grotesque perversions of the civil court justice system

138
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: that I can ever remember. What are you supposed to do?

139
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Just allow people to make accusations that you've engaged in

140
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: criminal behavior and never ever fire back at them at all?

141
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: Also, can I just point out that because it's civil,

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: the penalties for lying aren't going to be in four

143
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: that all, so she can say whatever she wants and

144
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: not that a lot of times they're not in these

145
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: cases anyway. But she can say whatever she wants. There's

146
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: already a lot of discrepancy in her testimony. She can't

147
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: prove a damn thing. It would never get anywhere near.

148
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: I mean, in what way is this worth eighty three

149
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: million dollars? I mean, what is the calculators?

150
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: No connection? Yes?

151
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: Why not a trillion? I mean, I think Trump said

152
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: a mean thing about this crazy person who's lying. I

153
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: think he should have to pay a trillion dollars. A

154
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: trillion sounds like a much better judgment to me. Why

155
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: not a whatever comes after a quadrillion? I mean, it's

156
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: just nuts clay. And this is yet again why I

157
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: understand and for people that are that are upset that

158
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: they feel like, oh, well, Trump has been chosen by

159
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: the Democrats with all these indictments.

160
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Okay, but what are we going to do?

161
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: Right?

162
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: And whether they believe that or.

163
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: Not, But I'm just saying there are people out there,

164
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: you know, half of the GOP electorate Trump wasn't let's say,

165
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 2: maybe forty percent, but wasn't their first choice. But they

166
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: are rallying behind him now, I think. But for anyone

167
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: who has misgivings about it, you can't let them do this.

168
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we going to do? You know,

169
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: this isn't the last time. Look what they did to Cavitol.

170
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: Clay Kavanaugh is a boy scout. I mean, Kavanaugh makes

171
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: Mitt Romney look like Axel Rose from the Guns N'

172
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: Roses Days. And they they actually put people on TV.

173
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: They remember the third woman, Sweatnik, They put her on TV.

174
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: She was saying that he was part of some secret

175
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: gang rape squad in high school. She was a college

176
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: girl who was going back. I mean, if you go

177
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: back and watch this. They aired this stuff on like

178
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: national TV show, on national news channels. It was absolute madness.

179
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: My point being here, they're not just going to do

180
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: this against Trump. If they get away with it, they're

181
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: setting the standard going forward. So to circle the wagon's mentality,

182
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: what's the alternative? Let them do it?

183
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: No, And look, and she's not even hiding what she's

184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: trying to do. Egene Carroll, we have a cut here,

185
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: says she'll do anything she can to help the Biden camp.

186
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Paying here's cut three. Miscray says nothing. You say, the

187
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: emperor has no clothes. The Emperor is trying to run

188
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: for president.

189
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: Again, and right.

190
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Now the polls suggest it's a coin flip. It's very close.

191
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: Have you heard from Joe Biden's campaign arm about potentially

192
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: campaigning against the former president Donald Trump?

193
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: No, are you interested in doing so? Do anything I can?

194
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: That's yes, there you go. I mean, you can't make

195
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: it any more transparently political. And I'll just point out

196
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: here Joe Biden far more credibly accused by Tara Reid,

197
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,119
Speaker 1: one of his former employees, to have directly sexually assaulted

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: her while she was working for him, a story that

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: is connected and that she has told for decades, and

200
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: that story completely vanished, no consequences whatsoever for Joe Biden

201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: from those what seems fairly credible allegations of sexual assault

202
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: that would also be sexual harassment because she was his employee.

203
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: Well, and they're not going to change statutes in DC

204
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: or Delaware where at whichever state this allegedly occurred in

205
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: in order to just go after Joe Biden.

206
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: That's what they did to Donald Trump, right.

207
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: I mean, there's something deeply troublesome about what we have seen.

208
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: Specifically in my home state in New York State, they

209
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: have an attorney general for this state who ran for

210
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: office saying she was going to go after a private citizen,

211
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: and then she went after that private citizen. I should say,

212
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's a private citizen now obviously a former president,

213
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: and you also have the changing of laws by the

214
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: state legislature to also go after an individual in Donald Trump.

215
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: You can't allow this stuff to happen. I mean, if

216
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: the Democrats think that they can do this and their

217
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: successful in this, and there's not consequences to it, there's

218
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: not sufficient pushback. I can assure you that they would

219
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: have been finding ways to go after anybody who was

220
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: the Republican nominee using the law now, and notice Clay,

221
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: they also bring in a lot of people in Trump's orbit.

222
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: Think of all the people around Trump that are being

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: sued for this or sued for no doubt, You've never

224
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: seen so many high level public officials sued for defamation,

225
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: you know, sued for some for something that they said.

226
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: And they know that because Trump is so polarizing, all

227
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: they have to do is get some anti Trump lunatics

228
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: on the jury. They'll get a you know, a billion

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: dollar settlement, a trillion dollar settlement, whatever number we can

230
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: think of.

231
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Buck I was speaking, we'll go to break here, but

232
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: I was speaking on Saturday down in Palm Beach and

233
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: Roger Stone was there, and he also got up and spoke. Remember,

234
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: they raided his home early in the morning as many

235
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: FBI agents as they could basically find, and CNN just

236
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: so happened to be there to catch it all live

237
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Russia collusion lie CNN.

238
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Tried to tell everybody that they were not tipped off

239
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: by the FBI about that. A five am raid for

240
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: effectively a non crime, I mean, for like saying some

241
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: things on DM to somebody and then saying something in

242
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: trial that and they sent dozens of men with long

243
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: guns to go arrest him at five am. Roger came

244
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: out in like some stubs and wooden slippers and silk pajamas, like.

245
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: As you would typically be at five am if someone

246
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: showed up at your house. You're still in bed in

247
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Basically for most people, you

248
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: haven't hardly woken up.

249
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I keep seeing what they're doing, and you know,

250
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: I understand there's frustration out there too, because what do

251
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: we do in response to this? What do Republicans do

252
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: in the states that they have control and in the

253
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: legislatures where they have a majority I would hope that

254
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: if Trump manages to be president again, that he remembers

255
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: all of this and takes really, really serious action and

256
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: doesn't surround himself with a bunch of swampy advisors. Oh yeah,

257
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna have that talk too. That I have not

258
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: forgotten because I think Trump's instincts are in the right place.

259
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: I think some of the people around and eOne wants

260
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: to argue with me on that one. I welcome that fight.

261
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: He had some really bad advisors around him early on,

262
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: particularly in the first term.

263
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: Second term.

264
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: We got to get people that understand the fight that

265
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: they're in, that understand what time it is.

266
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: As they say, so, we'll get into this.

267
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and two two two eight a two. The

268
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: families of three US troops killed and more than thirty

269
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: others wounded in an overnight drone attack on a small

270
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: US military outpost in Jordan got the worst news possible.

271
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: The tunnel.

272
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: The Towers Foundation is dedicated to helping America's heroes and

273
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: their families during these very challenging times when a first

274
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: responder or a military service member doesn't come home and

275
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: young children are left behind. Talent to Towers pays the

276
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,800

Speaker 2: That's t the number two T dot org. We're gonna

291
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: dive a little bit deeper into the situation in the

292
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: Middle East, including the White House's response.

293
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: Here.

294
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: I remember we had three US service members killed. We

295
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: know that the drone attack it's in Iranian made flown

296
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: by Iranian backed militia tough to know. They could be

297
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: Iranians operating on Iraqi or Syrian soil. They could also

298
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: be Syrians or Iraqis with Iranian backing and training. Depends

299
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: on which militia entity. But we know right now that

300
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: we lost three of ours and a couple dozen were wounded.

301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: So it was a pretty heavy strike. It was a

302
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: big drone that went off, a big drone that exploded

303
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: on the larger sides size of drones that are used

304
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: as these kind of in these drone suicide missions, if

305
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: you will, so we'll dive into some of that.

306
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Also.

307
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: I want to talk to Clay later on because this

308
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: story really stuck out to me. A four hundred thousand

309
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: job that doesn't require a college degree, I want you

310
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: to think about that for a second, especially as we've

311
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: seen what's going on at Harvard and some of these

312
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: elite universities. A job where you don't need a college

313
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: degree you can make four hundred grand and Walmart store manager, Clay,

314
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: I think we should talk about how.

315
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: There's a whole new world.

316
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: Of highly paid professions that do not care if you

317
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: have a social studies masters from you know, University of whatever.

318
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever worked in retail in any of your jobs?

319
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: If I worked retail, No, I've worked. Oh, I'll talk

320
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: about that. I've worked in a bunch of retail places.

321
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: I would say they worked at Abercrombie and Fitch, where

322
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: they only take handsome people. By the way, so did

323
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: my wife. So I always liked that I worked at

324
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, and Media Play in the

325
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: book department, among others. I might have had more, but

326
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: retail top stud talent makes a huge difference if you've

327
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: ever worked retail, So that doesn't surprise me necessarily. If

328
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: you're an investor in the stock market, you're feeling pretty

329
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: good about your returns in the first month of this year,

330
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: but don't let your guard down when it comes to

331
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: the full economic.

332
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: Picture of our nation. There's a lot of uncertainty out

333
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: in the world. Look at what's going on in the

334
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Middle East, and the value of the US dollar could

335
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: plummet rapidly, which could have a major effect on your savings.

336
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: Former Wall Street insider and editor Tikachawari believes that's the case.

337
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: He's put all of his thoughts in research online in

338
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: a video presentation for you to learn from. He's adamant

339
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: that we're vulnerable to problems this year when it comes

340
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: to the dollar. So he's created this video for you

341
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: to watch and understand. Video is free and include several

342
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,600

Speaker 2: That's move your cash now dot Com. Move your cash

348
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: by Palm Beach Research Group.

349
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Three service members killed over the weekend, first to die

350
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: United States service members since the October seventh terror attack

351
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: when cowards stormed into Israel and killed over twelve hundred.

352
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: I think israelis remember there's still what is the number

353
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: five American hostages being held I believe is the number

354
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: by Hamas that we know of, and still babies being

355
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: held by Hamas. So that story is still ongoing as

356
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: we approach now February, and I don't know when the

357
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: official end of Israel's response is going to come. But

358
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: in the meantime, violence has continued in the Middle East,

359
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: and Iran and Iranian backed groups have been attacking United

360
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: States interest in the Middle East. I believe now over

361
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty of those attacks. This is purportedly

362
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: a drone that killed three people. And I just want

363
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: to play a couple of cuts for you. First, here

364
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: is former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying, essentially, Iran

365
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: has decided they're at war with the United States.

366
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: Listen, it's pretty clear that the Biden adminstration's policies have

367
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: resulted in a huge conflagration. I hear people talking about

368
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: whether we're going to end up at war with Iran.

369
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: I can assure you the Iranians are at war with

370
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: the United States today. They've now killed American servicemen, these

371
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: three certainly in these past days, and we shouldn't forget

372
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: the two Navy seals that lost their lives and the

373
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: efforts in the region as well. Until President Biden manages

374
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: to restore deterrence, I think we're risking escalation continuing and

375
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: exactly the way we've seen it happen in these past weeks.

376
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Okay, and the Biden White House obviously not led by

377
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: the best and brightest among us, and certainly not having

378
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: a spokesperson who is the best and brightest among us.

379
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Kree Jean Pierre. This was her reaction to the death

380
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: of the three service members.

381
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: What I will say, our deepest obviously, our deepest condolences

382
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 4: go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the

383
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: families who lost three three brave, three brave, three brave

384
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: of three folks who are military, folks, who are brave,

385
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: who are are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf

386
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: and of this administration of the American people. Obviously, more

387
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: so more importantly, we lost those souls. Then let's not

388
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 4: forget there are wounded also wounded soldier military forces as well,

389
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: and our hearts go out to them, and so I

390
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 4: want to make sure that we offer up those deep, deep,

391
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: thoughtful condolences to them.

392
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: All Right, So she's getting dragged for stumbling around and

393
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: not being able to speak eloquently as she always does.

394
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: But Buck, this is part and parcel of every foreign

395
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: enemy of the United States taking advantage of Joe Biden's weakness.

396
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Whether it was an Afghanistan where thirteen soldiers were killed

397
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: based on the incompetence of that withdrawal, now three dead here,

398
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: as you heard, Pompeo mentioned the two Navy seals who

399
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: also have lost their lives, many also seriously wounded from

400
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: these attacks. Where should we go from here? Because you

401
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: heard immediately Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn, two different prominent United

402
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: States senators immediately demand a massive retaliation on Iran. Biden

403
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: has said, oh, I've sent the message to Iran. They

404
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: know better than to mess with us. Clearly that's not

405
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: the case. You've had a lot of experience in foreign

406
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: policy when you were with the CIA. I know nobody's

407
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: very confident on Joe Biden's judgment or decision making at

408
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: this point on any issue. But if you were advising

409
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: the president right now, based on what's publicly available in

410
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: terms of knowledge, what should we do?

411
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: It's tough because he's in a position where it's all cumulative. Right,

412
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: It's not one decision, it's what have all the decisions been.

413
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: You have to understand that Biden was not just Obama's VP,

414
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: but Obama's point guy. Believe it or not. This is

415
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: true on foreign policy matters, and not just in Ukraine

416
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: where the Biden family was getting payoffs, but also was

417
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: very much involved in policy at the highest level in

418
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: the Middle East and specifically with Iran. This isn't just history.

419
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 2: This is necessary context for what's going on. It was

420
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: the policy of the Obama administration, and it was the

421
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: policy therefore of Joe Biden and the people who work

422
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: with him and around him that buying off Iran and

423
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: trying to pull them into the global community of nations

424
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: and taking a soft tone toward them would get better behavior.

425
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 2: That has failed. It has failed with every major every

426
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: major militia, and every major bad actor that the Iranian

427
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: support all throughout the Middle East. We see it in Yemen,

428
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: we see it in all of these different countries. We

429
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: see it in Syria, we see it with Hamas, with Hesbellah.

430
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: So it's a systemic failure. Clay is the point. The

431
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: Democrat Obama Biden foreign policy apparatus is a disaster. So yeah,

432
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: is there one strike that could be done now? Is

433
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: there one thing to solve this? No, there's not. But

434
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: they've been weakening the US hand in the Middle East

435
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 2: for many years, and so this is why there is

436
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: this term is overused, but there's an emboldening of our

437
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: enemies that occurs in places like what we just saw

438
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 2: here with this, with this drone strike. I mean, what

439
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: should the response now be? I you know, Trump I

440
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: know was on what was the Truth over the weekend

441
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: saying we're at the precipice of World War three. I

442
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: do not think we're at the precipice of World War three.

443
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't tell the future, and it's theoretically possible.

444
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: So I think that a pretty serious strike against Iranian

445
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: interests outside of Iranian soil would be an appropriate response.

446
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: We know where some of these militias operate in Syria,

447
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: we know. But I do understand the concern that people

448
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: have that this is how we get, you know, stretched

449
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: into things that we don't want to be involved in

450
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: an all at all. I mean, I remember at Seapack

451
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: years ago, it was like twenty twenty eighteen twenty nineteen,

452
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: I was saying we should pull US troops out of

453
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: Syria entirely, like just just get out, and you know,

454
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 2: we can. We have carriers in the Mediterranean, we can

455
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 2: hit things that we have to hit. I don't think

456
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: we should have the eight hundred or thousand or whatever

457
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: it is troops that are there. But I think the

458
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: most important thing to understand is that the the Obama Democrat,

459
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: Biden Democrat buy off Iran. It's our fault that they're

460
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: such bad actors. Approach, which has been going on now

461
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: for many, many years, is an abject failure. Iranian behavior

462
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: has been nothing but more bellicos. They've gotten deeper and

463
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: more entrench with these proxies that they use, and this

464
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: is just another example of that. And you know you're

465
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: going to have a I think you're going to have

466
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: a mitigated response by Biden because it is an election

467
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: year and he knows the last thing anybody wants right

468
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: now in this country, well I should I shouldn't say

469
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: last thing anybody wants. The last thing same people want

470
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: in this country right now is some kind of escalation

471
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: the Middle East that feels like a ut the beginning

472
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: of a US war. There.

473
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Here's my concern, Buck, and this is just me sitting back,

474
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: leave aside Biden's weaknesses, and how it emboldens our adversaries

475
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: to take chances that they might not take with past presidents.

476
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: The more situations that could lead to massive conflagrations, big

477
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: eruptions that you create, the more danger zones there are.

478
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: Just think about it. Right now in the Middle East,

479
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: who knows what Putin's going to do, who knows what's

480
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: going to happen on the border with Ukraine and Russia.

481
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: So Europe is unstable. The Middle East, we all know,

482
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: is incredibly unstable. Anything could happen at any point in time.

483
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: Our own southern border with which you're gonna have to

484
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: talk about today during this show as well, with legitimate

485
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: private citizens traveling right now to try to secure the

486
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: southern border, with the possibility of National Guard and State

487
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: Guard troops coming into direct conflict in terms of what

488
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: their objectives are. And we just have China continuing to

489
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: make threats on the edges of Taiwan. So I would

490
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: say right now, if you are a just a casual

491
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: American going about your day to day life, I was

492
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: saying off the air, We've got four that we know of.

493
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: It's not even counting North Korea and South Korea where

494
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: tensions seem to be elevating there. It's not counting what's

495
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: going on between Pakistan and Iran. It's not counting all

496
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: these other smaller geopolitical flashpoints that could become larger. Just

497
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: right now, we have buck four different situations that are

498
00:27:53,640 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: on the razor's edge between potentially elevating into more significant conflict,

499
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: potentially global in nature. Even more so than they already are.

500
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: That ain't good because any one of those somebody just

501
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: makes a miscalculation, somebody misjudges the motives of someone else,

502
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, we've got thousands of

503
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: people dead and a legitimate situation where a true world

504
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: war might occur. And for all the talk that the

505
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: adults are going to be back in charge, remember how

506
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: often World War three trended because of something that Trump did.

507
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: We had four years a pre damn good piece when

508
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was President of the United States, and Joe

509
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: Biden has gotten here, and at any moment you might

510
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: get an alert on your phone, you might turn on

511
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: television there's breaking news and there's a new war that

512
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: is starting that sooner or later, may get America even

513
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: more dragged in than we already are. I mean, I

514
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: got a friend you've met in buck who who works

515
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: in the military, and we had a conversation where and

516
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: least said, man, we're already a world war. It's just

517
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: how you decide to define it. When you've got war

518
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: going on in the Middle East, when you've got war

519
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: going on in Europe, when you've got North and South

520
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Korea in Asia staring each other down. We're at the

521
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: beginning stages of a world war already. It's just win

522
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: does that kind of spiral in and become a huge conflict.

523
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: And remember Russia, Iran, and China are getting drawn closer

524
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: and closer together. It's a scary time. This is not

525
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: The adults are back in charge. Things are going to

526
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: get back to normal. And, by the way, the exact

527
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: opposite of a scary time. I watched football over the weekend.

528
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: I lost my prize picks. For those of you out there,

529
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: we finally lost. I'll have another one for you for

530
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but our prize picks lost. The Chiefs won.

531
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: They advance to play against the forty nine Ers. Two

532
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: pretty entertaining games, engaging games, Buck, did you watch one

533
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: minute of either game of I watched the tennis matches.

534
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I did not watch. You did watch Center win the Australian,

535
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: but you did. I did.

536
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: Yes, came back from a two set deficit the German

537
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: speaking Italian Yannick Cinner. Yes, it was pretty amazing. I

538
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: watched that, not one minute of the football games. I

539
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: did not see a minute of the football game.

540
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: I would love to know what percentage of our audience

541
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: is with Buck and didn't see a minute. I'm not

542
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: saying you have to be a diehard football fan, but

543
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: you never walked through you know, your house, your husband,

544
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: your wife, your kids weren't watching. I would actually be

545
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: fascinated by that because I think sixty million people may

546
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: have watched. And obviously super Bowl's coming up, and if

547
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: you don't want to just have some fun, even if

548
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: you're not a diehard sports fan, trust me, you can

549
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: have some fun. You know, you knew the squares. A

550
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of people go to Super Bowl parties and you

551
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: get to square see whether or not you could win.

552
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have different challenges, different little fun games. You

553
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: put five dollars down, ten dollars down, see if you

554
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,080

571
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: at the US Mexico border continues, with the state of

572
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: Texas leading the way. Many other states now weigh in

573
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: to do everything that they can to try to be supportive,

574
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: at least public supportive of the policies that Texas as

575
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: a state wants to implement. But I thought this was

576
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: so interesting, Clay, because this Wall Street General piece, given

577
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: the changing, the rapidly changing economy that we're all on.

578
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: I guess the economy probably changes rapidly all the time, right,

579
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: you just don't notice.

580
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: It day to day out.

581
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: But the four hundred thousand dollars job that doesn't require

582
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: a college degree, they break down Walmart store managers and

583
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: how they can earn up to four hundred and four

584
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year in total compensation four I mean

585
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: four hundred grand. There are surgeons at hospitals that are

586
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: making four hundred grand. I mean four hundred grand is

587
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: a lot of money. No, there are a lot of

588
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: doctors that make less than four hundred grand. Oh, definitely,

589
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: but I mean specialists like that. Yeah, people that are Remember,

590
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 2: surgical residency is a whole other thing beyond you know,

591
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: your doctor, standard doctor residency, and you got to do so.

592
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: The fact that you can make four hundred grand without

593
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: even going to get a college degree, I think increasingly

594
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: people are recognizing that the if everyone is going to

595
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: have the money to get a degree, and everybody has

596
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: a school to go to to get a four year

597
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: college degree, is it inherently a valuable thing. I think

598
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: increasingly the answer is no. I mean I could say

599
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: I was told this about very explicitly about business school,

600
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: like if you're going to go to business school, same

601
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: thing with law school. Everybody that I really knew said,

602
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: or that really knew the fields said, if you're not

603
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: going to go to a top ranked school, that's going

604
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: to really maybe open doors for you, it's not worth

605
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: it for just the degree. And I think that college

606
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 2: is increasingly in a situation that's more similar to that

607
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 2: for four year degrees, not saying it's not worth it

608
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: for some people. I got one, You got one, you

609
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: and went on to get a JD. But I think

610
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: that the I just have to get a college degree

611
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: to get a job. You can always go back later

612
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: on too. It's a lot easier to go back, maybe

613
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: get your degree at night. We're already making three hundred

614
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: grand managing a store or how much did you say

615
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: BUCkies guys can make?

616
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: You could?

617
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

618
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I love BUCkies. I've talked about it

619
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: on the show before I posted there. You can make

620
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: a quarter million dollars managing the car wash at a

621
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Buckets and to the four hundred thousand dollars at Walmart

622
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: as a store manager one. I mean the responsibility. You

623
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: probably have hundreds of employees that you are managing at

624
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: a Walmart store, but a lot of those Walmart's are

625
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: not in super expensive areas to live, So having worked

626
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: in retail, it doesn't surprise me at all. You probably

627
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: have to start at like eighteen or nineteen years old

628
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: in Walmart. You're probably starting off at the ground level

629
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: of retail and you're working your way all the way up.

630
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: That is your actual on the ground performance is what

631
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: is elevating you to becoming a manager. And I can see,

632
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, having worked in retail, A really good manager

633
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: makes a tremendous difference in terms of the effectiveness and

634
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: efficiency of a store. And I'll say this buck we have.

635
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't own out Kick anymore, but I think we're

636
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: coming up on seventy five or so employees. I'm the

637
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: only people who I can even name where they went

638
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: to college are people that I was friends with and

639
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: talked about where they went to college at some point.

640
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: I am way more interested when we hire, certainly on

641
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: the content side, at what the work product is than

642
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: in any degree what their resume shows, because unless you

643
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: show me the work product, I have no idea whether

644
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: you can do a job at out kick or not.

645
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't care where you went to college, or where

646
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: you went to law school or where you went to

647
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: business school. That doesn't impact at all to me whether

648
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: you should be hired for the jobs that we do well.

649
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: I think the employment market is also becoming more efficient

650
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: insofar as you are paid for the value you bring,

651
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: because businesses are more easily are more readily able to

652
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: assess that. You know, the old days memory, I mean,

653
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: I love, I mean, I'm obsessed to this day with

654
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: the movie office space this. I'm just going to show

655
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: up soon in a cubicle. No one really even knows

656
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: what I do, and I just if I just kiss

657
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: butt enough, I'm going to get ahead.

658
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

659
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still exists. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. Certainly,

660
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: it exists in bureaucracies and government. But increasingly, if you

661
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 2: can bring real value to a place, you can up

662
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: its commerce, you're gonna get You're gonna get paid. What

663
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: about Elon Musk, it means a great example. They fired

664
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of Twitter. Does it feel like it's

665
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: run any different to you than it was before? Some

666
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: people would argue, it's I think, way better better. Yeah,

667
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: but yes, seventy five percent of those employees. Elon Musk

668
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 2: just said, Hey, they don't need to be there. I

669
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: think you could probably without doubt fire half of all

670
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 2: federal employees and the organization would actually run better. Let's

671
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: talk about the border folks. A lot going on there

672
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: more updates for you stick around
