1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. Third hour of play and Buck kicks 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: off right now. We've had Trump at the UN this 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: morning saying the trumpy things, very very good stuff from 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: our commander in chief. We shall get into some of 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: that here momentarily, but I would ask for a moment here. 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: I just wanted to throw this in the mix before 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: too much time has passed play and put out maybe 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: a call for any of our New Jersey listeners to 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: email us or VIPs email us or send in some 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: talkbacks in New Jersey and we'll get some of them 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: later on about this, because there are Gubna toil races 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: that are underway. Some of them are going to be 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: hotly contested in important states, places like Virginia. We had 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: win some seers on she's a lieutenant governor, a very 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: impressive woman. 16 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 2: But in New. 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: Jersey, remember New Jersey was a much closer election. What 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: was it, Clay was not this, but it was in 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: the off year that that Glenn was in. 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: Point or two in twenty twenty one. And remember Trump 21 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: only lost New Jersey by five last year. And they 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 3: think the Trump team does if they had had Commawea 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 3: level money that. 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: They could have flip New Jersey into their column. 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: So New Jersey is still blue, but it's it's more 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: interesting than they wanted to be, but for sure, and 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: this might help a bit more. This is just one 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: of the great moments on Charlemagne the God on the 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Mister the God was sitting down with Democrat 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: candidate New Jersey governor Mikey Cheryl. So the Democrat, sorry, 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: Democrat candidate for governor, Mikey Cheryl. 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: And I'm not familiar. 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking people to weigh in a little 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: bit on what do I need to know about Mikey Cheryl. 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: But this was a great moment, and mister the God 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: asked about this, and I think it was worth us 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: all just hearing for a second, because people are very 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: sick and tired of members of Congress, particularly who seemingly 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: are trading in a way in the stock market that 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: mirrors information that they would only have access to because 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: of things that they're doing in Congress and making a 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: lot of money. She was asked Mikey Cheryl about this, 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: and here is the response from the Breakfast Club. A 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: couple of days ago, play this. 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: One when Newsmax claimed that you made seven million dollars 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 4: from stock trades. 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 5: What are they talking about? 48 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 6: News Max is first of all, a very questionable organization 49 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 6: that is paying multiple fines. I'm not sure what they're 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 6: talking about. 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: Well, did you make seven million in stock trades at all? 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 7: I I haven't. 53 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 6: I don't believe I did. But I'd have to go 54 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 6: see what that was alluding to. Again, what kind of 55 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 6: came from clay? 56 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: I think if you're a member of Congress making about 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty grand by the way, I think 58 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: that if you made seven million dollars trading the stock market, 59 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: whether somebody else is making those trades on your behalf 60 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: where you're making them, I think you should know, unless 61 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: you're a billionaire and so rich that you could plausibly 62 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: say I don't know what happened with seven million dollars. 63 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: Ninety nine point nine nine percent of people in America 64 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: would know if they made seven million dollars or not 65 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: in the stock market. A lot of you out there 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: would know if you made seven hundred dollars in the 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: stock market or not. Certainly seven thousand or seventy thousand, 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: to say nothing of seven million. 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: These people are so bad at this buck. I just 70 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: I watched so. 71 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: Many of these politicians, and we've reached out, by the 72 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: way to Jack Ciarelli, who is the Republican contender who 73 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: almost won in twenty twenty one. He is the nominee 74 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: on the Republican side for this race. To remind all 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: of you, Virginia and New Jersey and the mayor of 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: New York City are all off calendar elections, so they 77 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: will be taking place this November. That's in basically six weeks. 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: Some of you basically can already go early vote on 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: these I just I mean credit to Charlott Magne and 80 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: the god who is of the left, I think, but 81 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: is kind of pointing out, hey, seven million dollars. Can 82 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: you follow up and just kind of tell us what 83 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: you've been here? 84 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: All right, I've got some I've got some some stats 85 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: and numbers to throw into the mix here. Cheryl makes 86 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: I said one hundred and eight one hundred and seventy 87 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: four grand as New Jersey's eleventh Congressional district rep. So 88 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: she remember, they have financial disclosures everybody, so we can 89 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: know this public it's public record how much money these 90 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: individuals have within a range. But you have some sense 91 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: of it right. So in twenty nineteen, she reported total 92 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: assets between seven hundred and thirty and I'm just gonna 93 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: abbreviate the numbers here, but seven hundred and thirty thousand 94 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and four point three million dollars. Now that's a huge range. 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: By the way, Yes, does that includes your house? You know, 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: to anybody listening, the difference in being worth seven hundred 97 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: grand on paper and being worth four million on paper 98 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: feels like a lot. But anyway, that's where she was. 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: But Clay in her most recent one, in her most 100 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: recent disclosure form, she's worth more. 101 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Like twelve million. Yeah, this and so and so. 102 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: You say to yourself, wait a second, she's making one 103 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four It's not like she had some 104 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: huge trust fund, because we would know that from the 105 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: financial disclosure forms previously. So somehow she has and Jack 106 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: Chiarelli has come out and hammered her on this somehow 107 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: while a member of Congress sitting on the Arms Services Committee, 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: who allegedly has a fondness for trading Clay and defense stocks, saying, interesting, 109 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: she has gone from being worth you know, let's call 110 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: it a couple million dollars to put it in the 111 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: middle to being worth about twelve million dollars. I mean 112 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: she could be worth as much as four million there 113 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: even still, that would be a tripling of her net 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: worth while making one hundred and eighty grand a year. 115 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: Now, sometimes spouses make the money, which can also sometimes 116 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: be suspect, right because they'll say, well, this is not 117 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: the money that I'm making, this is my spouse. I 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: think this is what happened with And I don't even 119 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: know who her spouse is now. But Evon Holman, now 120 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: he's we'll get he's an investment banker, so his compensation 121 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: may be a significant part of this. But Clay, she 122 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 3: was fined for failing to disclose stock sales in twenty 123 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: twenty one. Well, this is where it gets very shady. Okay, 124 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong on this, because this seems 125 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: like something that shouldn't be allowed. You basically cannot prosecute 126 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: elect officials like congressmen and senators for insider trading, correct, 127 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: because they get all sorts of information that is not 128 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: public and then they're allowed to trade on it. And 129 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: this is where it gets super shady. This is like 130 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: the Nancy Pelosi situation. The spouse oftentimes is the person 131 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: who's actually trading on this, and they are able to 132 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 3: monetize this in a way that is hyper shady. Remember, 133 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: if you look at Nancy Pelosi's trading record for stocks, 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: she's somehow better than Warren Buffett at buying and selling stocks. 135 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: There's a Nancy tracker out there where you can look 136 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: at all the moves Pelosi makes because they have to 137 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: disclose it. I don't understand why it isn't basic required 138 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: for everybody out there to put their holdings in a 139 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: trust and just use that. Let me give you an example, Buck, 140 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: most of my money after I sold out Kick that 141 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 3: is not in real estate is in SMP five hundred 142 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: index funds. That is, I just buy the five hundred 143 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: largest companies in America. Ninety percent of the time, the 144 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: s and P five hundred outperforms experts. I am not 145 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: buying large buying and selling very many stocks. Now, there's 146 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: no restriction on me buying and selling very many stocks 147 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: in the first place. But I would say about five 148 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 3: percent of my stock assets are in physical stocks that 149 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: I control, and about ninety five percent is effectively a 150 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: SMP five hundred index funds. I don't understand why it 151 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: isn't standard for everybody Democrat, Republican, Independent, who is elected 152 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: to Congress to put their assets, their four oh one 153 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: k their individual stocks, just put it into a index 154 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: fund and say I'm not going to buy and sell 155 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: individual stocks while I'm a representative of the United States Congress. 156 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 3: What am I missing here to me? That seems like 157 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 3: it's could be standard for everyone out there. And if 158 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: they're arguing otherwise, I think it's highly suspect for people 159 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: to be trading hundreds of times in a year. And 160 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 3: remember what happened during COVID, because I haven't forgotten this. 161 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: Remember when they got the briefings about how dangerous COVID 162 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 3: was going to be and what was going to happen, 163 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: and a ton of congressmen and women immediately sold all 164 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: their stocks before the stock market started to decline. They 165 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: got access to information that you and I didn't have 166 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 3: access to about what was going to happen in terms 167 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 3: of shutdowns. 168 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: The stock market plummeted. 169 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: And a lot of congressmen and women sold before the 170 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 3: stock market collapsed and then bought at bottoms and made 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: a ton of money off information that's not public. I 172 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: don't know what I'm missing here. This candidate, I think 173 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: is lying. I think she has likely benefited off inside information. 174 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: But this is important. When it comes to corruption. We 175 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: don't just focus on corruption itself. We focus on the 176 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: appearance of corruption because it's so toxic to public trust. 177 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: How is there not a direct appearance of corruption when 178 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: individual congress men and women are making trades and destroying 179 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: the greatest investors of our lifetimes in their results. 180 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Just just so everybody understands, in something like the National 181 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: Defense Authorization Act or one of those big omnibus or 182 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, Perculus or whatever you want to call it, 183 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: these big bills that come out where they're just full 184 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: of pork and they're full of all this spending. If 185 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: you're on some committee and you know that a certain 186 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: defense contractor, for example, is about to get correct a 187 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: three or five or ten billion dollar government contract, guess what, 188 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: It's probably gonna go up as a stock. Okay, yes, 189 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: I think we all understand that. And so if you 190 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: are essentially now you know the rules. They've changed the 191 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: rules so that technically there's like a little more reporting 192 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: and stuff, but you're not barred from trading. And let's 193 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: just let's just take let's just be honest about this. 194 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: Have you seen anybody get in trouble for insider trading 195 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: from the United States Congress? 196 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: No, I'm not aware of it right now. 197 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: I think buck that they're not You're not allowed to 198 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: be prosecuted for it. 199 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: I think the case they changed the rules. Let me 200 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: let me check on it. They made some the Stock Act, 201 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: they made some adjustment to it. But I think it's 202 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: like you can't be prosecuted for knowledge that comes from 203 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: the course of your job, which is the whole point 204 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: of that. Let me let me check on this one. 205 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I got to see what the rules are because this 206 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: was clay. This has been a push for over a decade. 207 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: People have been trying to you know, trying to figure out, 208 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: uh why members of Congress are able to get so 209 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: so rich. 210 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: But larger issue, yes on that. To me, it's just 211 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be allowed. Minor issue or secondary issue as 212 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 3: it pertains to this race. If you made seven million 213 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: dollars in stock trades, you better have a good explanation 214 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 3: for how that happened. And again the husband may well 215 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: be the reason. But to claim, oh, I don't know, 216 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: I'd have to look into that. How out of touch? 217 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: Are you if you can make seven million dollars and 218 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: not recall whether or not it happened, unless you're a 219 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: billionaire and your stock price valuation is constantly going up 220 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: and down. Again, all I'm saying is, I'm not a 221 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: congress person. SNB five hundred index funds a good option. 222 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: Why would we not make that standard for anybody who's 223 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: in the elective office. Now, there are some complexities, usually 224 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: blind trust, and this is getting into specifics. Let's say 225 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: you own a company and that company is publicly traded. 226 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: You can just say, hey, I'm not going to buy 227 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: or sell stock, or it's a blind trust, I'm not 228 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 3: managing it. There are lots of ways to handle this 229 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: that do not create this huge, this huge impression of 230 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: impropriety that to me would make a lot of sense. 231 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: Well, I just would know, Clay. So, two former members 232 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives have been prosecuted and convicted 233 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: for insider trading, which the Stock Act of twenty twelve, 234 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: that's what I referred. So this has been going on 235 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: for a while. So there is this Stock Act. It 236 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: doesn't bar them from trading. Obviously there's disclosure requirements. But 237 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's super hard because of the information 238 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: that they're coming into contact with is of a political nature. 239 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: It can be very like if you're going to invest 240 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: in a big defense contractor what's how do you know 241 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: that you don't just you know, they get into this 242 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: mosaic defense strategy for white collar criminals of like, well, 243 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: did I do it because I thought of this bill 244 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: that's coming up, or because I love the fundamentals and 245 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: I know I read the latest ten K. I mean 246 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: that's well, also curious on whatever, I would be curious 247 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: what the prosecution for insider trading is because those guys 248 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: could have been prosecuted for actual insider trading that had 249 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Congress. 250 00:13:59,559 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 2: Right. 251 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: In other words, I believe the testimony that you hear 252 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: behind closed doors is not allowed to be prosecutable for 253 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 3: insider trading. You could still be prosecuted if, for instance, 254 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: you're out of office and your cousin calls you and 255 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: he sits on the board of X company and he says, hey, 256 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: we're about to. 257 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: That's what happened. Yeah. 258 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: By the way, they actually were not prosecuted. This is 259 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: very important clarification. They were not prosecuted for anything under 260 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: the Stock Act or anything having to do with Congress. 261 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: They were prosecuted for insider trading access they had before 262 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: being in Congress. Yes, that's a difference. 263 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: This is what I said, Like you basically get a 264 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: free reign to insider trade at Congress. 265 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: So my initial premise of like, no one in Congress 266 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: has ever that no one in Congress has ever been 267 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: prosecuted for insider Congress insider Congression information. 268 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: That is true. 269 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: Which, by the way, some breaking news as we go 270 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: to commercial break here, Buck, there has been a verdict 271 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: reached in the second assassin attempt of President Trump in Florida, 272 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: the West Palm Beach assassin. I would imagine that he 273 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: has been found guilty, but we will see what that 274 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: result is.

Welcome back into Clay, and Clay's got some 351 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: breaking news for us on the verdict of the Remember 352 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: this is the second would be assassin of Donald Trump 353 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: who set up an assassin's position firing position on a 354 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: golf course in West Palm Beach about an hour's drive 355 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: from where I'm currently sitting, and was ready to commit 356 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: the deed, had a secret service fired at him at 357 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: close range, did not hit him, and then had to 358 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: chase him down. He got, I don't know, got about 359 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: an hour or two away, I think, on the highway 360 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: before they were able to finally get him. Clay, what 361 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: is the I don't think it's big surprise here. What 362 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: is the verdicts? 363 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: Guilty on all counts, And I would point out I 364 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: played this Trump West Palm Beach golf course with tunnel 365 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: to towers. Last year, they pointed it out exactly where 366 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: this would be assassin was set up. The fact that 367 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: he was able to be there all day, one month 368 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: after Trump had his ear buzzed by another be assassin 369 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 3: in Butler, Pennsylvania and Corey Competore lost his life at 370 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 3: that Butler, Pennsylvania rally. The fact that this was ever 371 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: allowed to happen, even that he could get close. Remember 372 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: the story is that a Secret Service agent saw the 373 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: sunlight glinting off his gun barrel. The guy was there 374 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: for hours all day waiting for Trump to come by 375 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: playing golf. And I have to tell you this is 376 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: I mean, the guy would have been thirty or forty 377 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: yards away from Trump in that tea box. I just 378 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 3: I know this story doesn't get talked about very much. 379 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 3: And the fact that a Secret Service agent fired at 380 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: him missed only because a woman took down the license 381 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 3: plate number of the car. Reportedly, were we able to 382 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: later get him driving somewhere on the floor to Turnpike 383 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 3: to Bucks Point, a long distance away from where he 384 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: tried to kill Trump. And the fact that he did 385 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 3: it because he believed Trump was Hitler, and he was 386 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: a crazy Ukraine fanatic, and he believed that he needed 387 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 3: to save America from fascism. All of the arguments that 388 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 3: democrats have been making for the last decade, the same 389 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 3: arguments frankly and sadly that the assassin of Charlie Kirk 390 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 3: embraced as well. I mean, even the Atlantic, no great 391 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 3: bastion of fair handedness or sanity. I saw this just 392 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 3: a little bit ago. 393 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: Buck. 394 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 3: The Atlantic is even now having to write stories about 395 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 3: left wing political violence. And our friend Senator Mike Lee 396 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: shared it. But the Atlantic has a headline right now 397 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 3: left wing terrorism is on the rise. For the first 398 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 3: time in more than thirty years. Attacks by the far 399 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: left outnumber those by the far right, and they continue 400 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: to stack up, and no one is out there saying, hey, 401 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: you know what, we may disagree with Trump, but he's 402 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: not actually Hitler. In fact, do we have the cut 403 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: of Kamala Harris with Rachel Maddow now saying Trump is 404 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: a communist dictator. I guess now they've decided that instead 405 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: of Hitler on the right, he now is Fidel Castro 406 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: on the left. Can we play the communist dictator line 407 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 3: from Kamala. 408 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 7: Right now, we are dealing with, as I called him 409 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 7: at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant. We used 410 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 7: to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. 411 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 7: That's what we're dealing with right now. Donald Trump and 412 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 7: these titans of industry are not speaking up, and perhaps 413 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 7: it is because his threats and the way he has 414 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 7: used the weight of the federal government to take out 415 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 7: vengeance on his critics is something that they fear. And 416 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 7: I get that. I understand why they do. We've seen 417 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 7: the demonstration of it. 418 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, next thing, you know, Oh, he may 419 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 3: try to bankrupt in prison and kill his political adversaries. 420 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 3: Can you imagine if we tried to put a top 421 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: political figure in prison on trumped up charges that made 422 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 3: absolutely no sense whatsoever and were entirely filed based on 423 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: political basis. Can you imagine if the state of Georgia 424 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: did that, if they did it in Florida, if they 425 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 3: did it in Washington, DC, and if they did it 426 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: in New York. I mean, we might even find a 427 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: situation where four different jurisdictions could be trying to put 428 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 3: the president in prison for the rest of us. Oh wait, 429 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 3: that's what they did. 430 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why you have a discussion with them 431 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: about this, because they're so far apart. 432 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 8: You know. 433 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: It's like if you're in a negotiation with somebody and 434 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: you think their house is worth one hundred thousand dollars 435 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: and they think the house is worth a million dollars, 436 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: it's really not allowed to talk about. Yeah, that's where 437 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: we are on political violence. Like Democrats are just operating 438 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: in an alternate reality where whether it's a question of 439 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: this is like a both sides sting, or you know, 440 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: we just need to cool the temperature down a little bit. 441 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: They need to cool the temperature down. They're the ones 442 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: that do censorship. They're the ones that act in or 443 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: a thorn. I mean, to call us authoritarian. It's like 444 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: we're all supposed to forget about how they acted during COVID. 445 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: I mean that was the most clear That was the 446 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: biggest opportunity to show whether or not you were a 447 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: true authoritarian. Wanted the government's boot to be at your disposal, 448 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: to put on someone else's neck. And it was all 449 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats who were pushing that stuff, and it was 450 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: the Right that was saying, hold on a second, like 451 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: what's going on here? Why are you doing this? I 452 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: also was gonna mention this, A lot of you have 453 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: been reaching out. Keith Oberman is crazy, and I asked 454 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: Buck about this off air, but I'll say it on 455 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: air too. I don't know where the Keith Olberman story 456 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: is going, but I don't think it's going to be 457 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: a very positive destination. And I feel bad in many 458 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: ways because this was a guy that was one of 459 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: my idols when I was a kid. Buck, I would 460 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: get up in the morning, get ready for school, eat 461 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: my cereal Clay. That's worse than me downloading Kamala's book. 462 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 3: No, No, I bet there's tons of people out there listening. 463 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: He was great on Sports Center with Dan Patrick back 464 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 3: in the day. They if you were a sports fan. 465 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: I bet huge percentages of our listeners out there that 466 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 3: are sports fans did the same thing as me. You 467 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: would wake up in the morning, you would put on SportsCenter, 468 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 3: you would eat your breakfast and Dan Patrick, who was 469 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: still doing great work distributed by iHeart on sports Talk 470 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 3: Radio Legend of Sports Talk Radio and Keith Olberman were 471 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 3: an incredible duo. They were really funny. They made sports 472 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 3: more fun. And now I really feel like he's he's 473 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: gone off the deep end, buck, and he just issued 474 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 3: an apology. Producer Greg just got my back, he said, 475 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: I'm one of those guys. I loved Olberman and Dan 476 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: Patrick on Sports Center. There are a lot of us 477 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: out there that grew up. I used to love them. 478 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 3: I used to love Keith Olberman, Dan Patrick very funny. 479 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: I still love Dan Patrick. Co Olberman's crazy. Here is 480 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 3: what he just had to do. He tweeted at Scott Jennings, 481 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 3: our friend on CNN, your next m you gotta get 482 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: an idea er, and then he just I'm guessing his attorneys. 483 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 3: Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted two responses to Scott 484 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 3: Jennings about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a 485 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 3: threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them 486 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 3: with one specifying what I actually meant. I oppose and 487 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: condemned political violence and the threat of it. All times 488 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 3: are the wrong time to leave, even an inadvertent impression 489 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: of it, but this time is especially wrong. I should 490 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 3: have acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I'm sorry I delayed. 491 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: This is what happened, he says. I apologize without reservation. 492 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 3: To Scott Jennings, your next expletive, keep mugging to the camera. 493 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: And this was turned into the FBI because it sounds 494 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 3: like a threat, and he meant. Oberman is saying that 495 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: he believes Scott Jennings should be canceled from television like 496 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: Jimmy Kimmel was. 497 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: That is his explanation. 498 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 3: But again, I just I think this guy is on 499 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: a fast track to crazy town. He may already be there. 500 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 3: And this was one of the most successful people in media. 501 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: I mean, what years did Keith Oberman? Was he the 502 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 3: straw that stirred the drink at MSNBC early two thousands 503 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: when he was like and look, I'm talking about watching 504 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: him on Sports Center back in the nineties, which was 505 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: when he had his apex as a sports figure. But 506 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: early two thousands, Keith Oberman was about as big as 507 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: you could get in media. And now he's having to 508 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: apologize because people are reading his tweets and thinking he's 509 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 3: threatening to kill someone. 510 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: Remember he had that period where he was on Current 511 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: TV where Al Gore's absurd statements about climate change in 512 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: that preposterous documentary made him so much money that he 513 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: then bought a whole TV station to put left wing 514 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: loons on, and Keith Oberman was the what are you 515 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: looking like? He didn't he sell that network for five 516 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars or something? 517 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 2: Yes, he did something like that. 518 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 3: Yes, So I mean, not only did he create a 519 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 3: network that none of us have ever heard of before 520 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 3: prior he sold it, what happened to Current TV? I 521 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: mean that feels like somebody just gave him five hundred 522 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 3: million dollars. I feel like it was purchased in the 523 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: Middle East? 524 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: Am I wrong? I think it was cutter? 525 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that tar as people like to say 526 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: these days. 527 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: Yes, and now you know Gore got five hundred million 528 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: dollars for that. But yeah, Oberman got paid a ton 529 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 3: of money to go to Current TV. Nobody watched him, 530 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: and now he lives in an apartment overlooking Central Park 531 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: and he looks and sounds like a crazy person more 532 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 3: so every single day. So I'm glad he apologize because 533 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: obviously I hope I never send a tweet where people 534 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: are like Clay Travis is saying we need to kill someone. 535 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 3: But I think this is the sign of kind of 536 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: where Oberman is falling up. 537 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: You know, what's a really important lesson, though, Clay. The 538 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: way to avoid that is not to put tweets out 539 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: that suggest that you think somebody should be killed. So 540 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: you and I don't have it. We don't have a 541 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: problem here. There's not a nil thought. Really, you know, 542 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: so far I have not done that in twenty some 543 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: odd years. I hope I never have to apologize for 544 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: saying that people thinking that I want to kill someone. 545 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: But that is where Keith Oberman is. 546 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 2: We'll come back. 547 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 3: We'll take some of your talk back, some of your calls. 548 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: In the meantime, get the energy your body needs with Chalk. 549 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 3: This is all natural based in the Great State of Texas, 550 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 3: family business dedicated to helping people feel their best.

I was right by 577 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 3: the way. Current TV sold in twenty thirteen for five 578 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars. They renamed it Al Jazeera Media Network 579 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: US version English language, and then there was not enough 580 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: of an audience and so they shut it down in 581 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen due to financial losses. So several different callers 582 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 3: variety of perspectives. 583 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: Otkay, I just tell. 584 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: You that they asked me many times to go on 585 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: that channel, Oh you got to do terrorism analysis. And 586 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: I always was like, you guys are like a like 587 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: an enemy media, Like I have no interest in talking 588 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: to you. But they used to ask all the time. 589 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how often a company would 590 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: sell for five hundred million dollars in media and get 591 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 3: shut down a couple of years later because there's no 592 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 3: audience for it. So, I mean, al Gore really basically 593 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 3: got paid off by the Kataris because it's shut down 594 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 3: three years later and they bought it for five hundred 595 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: million dollars. Yeah, I mean that's hard to explain. Phil 596 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: in North Carolina, what's up, Phil? 597 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 5: I'm just calling about the uh, the trading, you know 598 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 5: with everybody in congrast trading, Yeah, yeah, trading on inside. 599 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 5: Well it's really inside trading. But how is it they 600 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 5: are still I mean, they're so rich and they still 601 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 5: take money from the taxpayer. I mean, can't they pass 602 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 5: a law saying, hey, if you're worth five million or 603 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 5: ten million dollars, you shouldn't be taking any money from 604 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 5: the during taxpayer. I'm sorry, I mean that's that's. 605 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 3: Great, thanks, thanks for the call. Trump is not taking 606 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 3: a salary, doesn't get talked about very much, but he donates. 607 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: I believe the President of the United States makes four 608 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 3: hundred grand if I'm not mistaken buck, and Trump donates 609 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 3: the entirety of it back to the federal government. 610 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: Bloomberg as mayor did the same thing. 611 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: Bloomberg did the same thing. Not a big uh, not 612 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: a big hardship for him. 613 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: He's doing okay, Bloomberg, same thing with Trump. 614 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: Not a big hardship. 615 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: I mean, if I were a senator or a governor, 616 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 3: I wouldn't take the salary. I would donate it back. 617 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I've got enough to take 618 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 3: care of my family now. Some people, to be fair, 619 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 3: they need the money. I mean, they are working. It's 620 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 3: a job that requires a lot of effort and energy, 621 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 3: and a lot of them do not have the independent 622 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 3: wealth to not be able to take the salary. But 623 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 3: I give credit to people like Trump and to your point, 624 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 3: people like Bloomberg. And again I'm nowhere near as wealthy 625 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: as those guys. But if I were serving in office, 626 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 3: I would donate my entire salary to charity. I mean 627 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 3: that seems like something that's reasonable. There probably are other 628 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: wealthy senators and congressmen out there that don't get a 629 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 3: lot of attention to it. Maybe they don't want to 630 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 3: draw attention to it. That I would bet also make 631 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 3: that same decision. But I think it's a fair question 632 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 3: to ask. If you're worth massive amounts of money, why 633 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 3: not just say I'm doing this for the public end. 634 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 3: I think it eliminates a lot of the arguments that 635 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 3: you're conflicted out when you say, as Trump does, Hey, 636 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 3: I'm doing this because I think it's in the best 637 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 3: interest of the country. I'm not doing it for the 638 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 3: salary that I'm paid. Been in Morristown, New Jersey, you 639 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 3: got to take force Morristown sight of a famous Revolutionary 640 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 3: War battle. 641 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken. Is that correct? 642 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 9: That's absolutely correct. 643 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 3: I'm reading this great book, the Trilogy about the Revolutionary War, 644 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 3: and I was reading as Nerds Do about the Battle 645 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 3: of Morstown last night as I got ready for bed. 646 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: All right, but you've got a big governor's race going on. 647 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 3: What did you want to tell us? 648 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 9: Yeah, there's the latest poll out by National Research is 649 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 9: showing that Chitdarelli is actually up by one percentage point. 650 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 9: And there's another pollster who's a startup who's using AI 651 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 9: and it's called Zeus Political Index, and he's showing very 652 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 9: similar results. So I think book some of the polls 653 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 9: that show that he's behind by seven or eight points 654 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 9: are not very accurate. 655 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, and certainly anyone listening to us in 656 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 3: New Jersey, it's going to be a close race.
