I know that a lot 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: of our listeners reached out and helped you raise a 44 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: great deal of money. What was the taally that you 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: ultimately raised for the people of Maui and how much 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: did this listenership hopefully help in terms of that raising. 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was incredible. I was on playing Buck last 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: week with you guys from Maui, and I saw a 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: response from your audience, which I'm filled with gratitude to 50 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: you and Buck and to all of you guys listening. 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: We're approaching two million dollars. I think we're at or 52 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: above right around two million dollars raised for the people 53 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: of Lohina and it's a fund that I'm going to 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: play a very active role ensuring that it goes directly 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: to say families. And after we talked, Clay, I was 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 2: just you know, I sent you a text. I said, Man, 57 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot of notes, a lot of messages 58 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: that your audience heard us talk about what happened there 59 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: and they responded. So I'm incredibly touched for everybody listening 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: that gave back, and I promise you that we'll make 61 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: sure we give back to the people there.

What are you 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: hearing about, what the potential casualties are going to be 70 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: from this event? What is the latest that you can share? 71 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: So Clay, you know it's interesting. Last night I had 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: two phone calls. It ends up being late at night 73 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: because hollis five hours behind me. I think you're in 74 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: I camera if you're Central or Eastern, but six hours 75 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: from Eastern time zone. And I talked to two guys, Clay, 76 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: and they're about our age. Pretty interesting guys, long time 77 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: born and raised Lahina, multi generational, and they're just they're 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: just normal guys man who dove in and fought a 79 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: fire that just consumed their town. I'm gonna tell you 80 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: two things that I that I heard directly from these guys. 81 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: One a guy named Eton Krupnik. I respect him a ton. 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: He said, Okay, you want to think about something that 83 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 2: really went wrong? Here in Lina. It's local politics that 84 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: has been built upon patronage for a long time. You 85 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: get a job, you end up in this place because 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: of who you know, your family connections, and what it 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: does is it creates an environment where not the best 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: person has made its way for the job. And so 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: what we saw that day was a confluence of incompetencies 90 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 2: contributing to how bad this was. And then I spoke 91 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: to another guy named Kimo Clark and he's got his 92 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: own excavation business. Last night and I sat with Kimo 93 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: when I was in Hawaii and man, just his eyes, 94 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: his body, what he'd been through im and he was 95 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: on the front lines volunteering his water trucks and all that. 96 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: He was there and he's like, listen, man, it was 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: it's just complete and uther chaos. When one thing went wrong, 98 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: you know, we tried to address it, just ran to another. 99 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: And his big thing was people are trying really hard 100 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: to look ninety percent of the fire department lost their homes. 101 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: And he's now there, he's on the ground in LINEA 102 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: with FEMA, and he said his business is working hand 103 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: in hand because he's got these big trucks and construction equipment, 104 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: and he said, listen, FEMA is really actually full of 105 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: some experts from all across this country, just blue collar 106 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: dudes working for FEMA, and they're pros and what they're 107 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: doing takes time. And he said, what we're looking at 108 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: is bodies, incinerated, cremated. You got dogs. They're looking for fingers, 109 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: they're looking for a piece of bone, they're looking for 110 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: evidence of DNA. They're looking at eight hundred to one 111 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: thousand still missing, and it's just hard to find him 112 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: because there's not much of them to find and he's 113 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: in there with FEMA. They're they're lifting heavy, you know, 114 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: some of these two or three story buildings up because 115 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: the dogs have to get under all that to look. 116 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: And the estimation is it's going to be whatever that 117 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: missing number is play is going to end up being 118 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: what the number of dead is. And just to put 119 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: it in context for you, Lihina was thirteen thousand people. 120 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: So if there's a thousand dead at the end of 121 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: the story, I mean one thirteenth of your population. I 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: still have trouble wrap in my head around it because 123 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: I don't meet a ton of people saying dozens will 124 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: dozens of my family and friends are missing, so you know, 125 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: one thirteenth man, that's hard to that's hard to reconcile. 126 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: So I don't know what it was. Maybe it's entire 127 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: families that are just gone, so no one is there 128 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: to speak up for them. But it's awful, man. The 129 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: story is about people barricade themselves in their showers and 130 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: the showers turning into ovens. It's just it's just it's 131 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: just really awful. 132 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Will Caine with us now discussing the tragedy of Hawaii, 133 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: I hate and I know this is commonplace, and I'm 134 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: sure you recollect. When Katrina happened, George W. Bush was 135 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: absolutely savaged for the way he and his administration responded. 136 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: As recently as a few years ago when Puerto Rico 137 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: had major hurricane issues, Donald Trump and his administration were 138 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: ripped to shreds over the way that they responded. It's 139 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: actually fairly commonplace that when there is a tragedy, as 140 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: days pass and the federal or state government are not 141 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: there in the method and manner in which most residents expect, 142 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: that the people in positions of power do get criticized 143 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and the story begins to change from a story of 144 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: tragedy to the recovery. What are you hearing about the 145 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: response of the Biden administration as well as the state 146 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: governor and the political party there in Hawaii. And what 147 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: did you think of Joe Biden finally making a visit 148 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: and his behavior while he was on the ground in 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: Maui yesterday. 150 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so a couple of levels there. So let's talk 151 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: about the initial response. I told you last week the 152 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: initial governmental response was in line with what happened that day. 153 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: It is just chaotic and insufficient. And so what you 154 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: saw was community groups just immediately stepping up. All right, 155 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: Then you go to the once the federal government's in place, 156 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: and and femas they're doing their thing. I told you 157 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: I've begun to hear like some real credit going to 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: the men and women on the ground they're doing their work. 159 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: And then at the highest levels of government. Look, there 160 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: are videos out there. You can see the way that 161 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: people of Mali feel about the president. And you know, 162 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: talking to my wife about this, Clay like, what is 163 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 2: the job of a president? Well, your job is to 164 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: marshal resources. First of all, Yes, you got to say 165 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: and give approval to things. And you know you'd like 166 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: to think there's not a great bandwidth of a variation 167 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: from one president to another on what they'd say when 168 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 2: it comes to American people. But your job is also 169 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: to lead, it's to be a voice, and to show 170 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 2: empathy and to show competence. And this is where, without 171 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 2: a doubt, without doubt, what we saw yesterday Mawe was 172 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: just an absolute failure. I mean, Joe Biden has to 173 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: personalize every tragedy. It has to be about him. And 174 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: he told that story which you probably played the sound 175 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: of today, but which where he says, you know, I 176 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: know how it feels to almost lose your home, you know, 177 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 2: And he tells the story about a kitchen fire in 178 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: his home in Delaware, which, by the way, the story's 179 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: filled with lies because he also was like, I was 180 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: on to meet the press that day. And yet he 181 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: also says he got home in Delaware to see the 182 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 2: firefighters working on the fire. It was out in twenty minutes. 183 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: And he's comparing that and he said, I almost lost 184 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: my sixty seven Corvette. Comparing that to people, a town 185 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: of people where kids were turned to ash man and 186 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: it's just it's ridiculous that that's what he and then 187 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: when he's not doing that, he's in a Look, it's 188 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: a six hour time change, it's a it's a twelve 189 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: hour flight. He does have Air Force ones. He has 190 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: ability to sleep in ways that you and I don't 191 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: for sitting and coach. But now I've done that flight. 192 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: It's a hard day and okay, But then he gets 193 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: there and he's slurring words and mixing people's names up. 194 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: He doesn't know the name of the mayor of the Mali, 195 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: doesn't know. It's not he's cracking jokes about the boots 196 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: and the dogs. It's just none of it. He says, 197 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: the mayor of Mali looks like you can play defensive 198 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: tackle for he doesn't know who. Somebody goold. It's just 199 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: really poor leadership. And in the end, Clay, that's really 200 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: what a president does. He says yes to resources and 201 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 2: he leads a people. You lead a people, right, and 202 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: if that's the evidence of how you lead a people 203 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: of need, man, it can't go on like this. That's 204 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 2: what it's like at eighty what's it gonna be like 205 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: at eighty two? 206 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, what you said, I think is really important. You've 207 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: got kids, you know that. How when you have a 208 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: young kid. The difference between one year and one and 209 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: a half years is so seismic from birth to one 210 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: In a year of one and a half year, when 211 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: you can start to get old, you start to see 212 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: that in reverse. Where I would like to think I'm 213 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: forty four, I would like to think next year when 214 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm forty five, I don't feel or look that much different. 215 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: But when you're eighty and you're on the declining precipice 216 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is on now, well, it's crazy to 217 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: think about what he'll be like in November of next year, 218 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: to say nothing of if he were trying to be 219 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: president for four more years. It just feels beyond reckless. 220 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: And every time he goes out and speaks like we 221 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: just saw in Hawaii, it becomes even more indefensible. So 222 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: what's the end result here? Do you really think Democrats 223 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: are going to roll him out next year in November 224 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: as their nominee? 225 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. I do. And by the way, not 226 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: to make light of you know aging what you're talking about, 227 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 2: but one of the biggest illustrations in my life. And 228 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: you've had grandparents, you know, perhaps past or experience also 229 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: like pets, you have noticed like you have a dog. 230 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: Like all of it happens in the last couple months 231 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: of his life. Like he's run around one day and 232 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: you're like, he's pretty good, he's old nothing, you know, 233 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: he falls apart like in so fast and all your 234 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: yeah bills ended up in one final year of his life. 235 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 2: This is how life goes. It goes slow, then it 236 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: goes fast. You know, we're good and then we're not good. 237 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: And the president can't just be forgiven for aging because 238 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: the lies, like I just laid out for you in 239 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: just that one story, the lies don't necessarily correspond to aging. 240 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: You know. It's like it's just like you get older 241 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 2: and you have an inability to pull off the lies 242 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: in the same way. So do I think democratical nominated 243 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: I do because I think they have a really pretty 244 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 2: obvious history of considering lame duck politicians as vehicles to 245 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: use for a holistic agenda that exists behind the scenes 246 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: for the party of the ideology, whether or not that's 247 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: John Fetterman or Diane Feinstein or Joe Biden. Competency and 248 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: ability of the perceived office holder or leader isn't the 249 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: requirement to continue to get done What you need to 250 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: get done. What's just the transformation of the country, no doubt. 251 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Tomorrow We've got the Republican primary in Milwaukee. I'm up 252 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: here Milwaukee. We're doing an event here tonight for the book. 253 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: Big discussion we've had already this week. So many people 254 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: getting fired up as the primary season begins in earnest, 255 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: and we're getting a lot of callers who are Trump people, 256 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and they're saying, if Trump's not the nominee, I'm not 257 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: going to show up. And then we've got other callers 258 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: and other emailers and Texters and whatnot who are saying, 259 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: if Trump is the nominee, I'm not going to show up. 260 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: And I would say, and I'm curious, I bet you 261 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: would agree about fifty percent of people, it seems right now, 262 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: are Trump supporters in the Republican primary about fifty percent 263 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: or supporting somebody else. What would you say to anyone 264 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: out there who is saying, I'm not going to show 265 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: up if my guy or girl is not the nominee. 266 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I think you have to. And I think that 267 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: everyone will. I mean I think that I think that 268 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 2: everyone will when they see what the alternative is, and 269 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: they already know what the alternative is. But right now, 270 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: in a primary, the alternative seems like another Republican you 271 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's like it's Trump versus de 272 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Santis or DeSantis versus Ramaswami or however, and you have 273 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: an instinct to make that other your short term enemy, 274 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: and it's hard to see past that fight. But it's 275 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: not an enemy. It's all people on the same side 276 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: essentially fighting for at least a very very very similar 277 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: perspective and cause against a side that is has a 278 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: very different vision of the country that you're living through 279 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: right now. So I mean, you know, I think that 280 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: if you're for DeSantis and you say I could never 281 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: go for Trump again, We'll wait till your choices Joe 282 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: Biden or Kamala Harris my suspicion as you will. 283 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: I hope you're right. And that's a battle that I 284 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: think we're going to be fighting sooner rather than later. 285 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: As well.

Appreciate all of you excited 357 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: to hang out tonight WISN Milwaukee PABs Theater. Many of 358 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: you rolling in appreciate that gift to fill up the 359 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: final theater the night before the Republican debate, which will 360 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: be taking place tomorrow here in Milwaukee. I want to 361 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: give you guys a sense. Producer Ali grabbed a lot 362 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: of emails that are rolling in from the VIPs, and 363 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: I just want to give you a sense of how 364 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: much variety of opinion there is out there. And I'm 365 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: roughly approximating fifty percent of people geared up for Trump. 366 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: Fifty percent geared up for other candidates. And here are 367 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: some of those emails. This is from the Clay and 368 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: Buck VIPs in particular. I just thought they were illustrative 369 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: of the wide variety of opinions that are out there 370 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: right now. Vince says the reason Democrats win more as 371 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: of late is they vote for the Democrat candidate, no 372 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: matter if they're qualified or not. Those cancer servatives who 373 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: will not vote if their candidate is not the nominee 374 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: are the reason. It is not at least closer. We 375 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: need all conservatives and some moderates to win anything. Why 376 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: do people not recognize that fact? Dan says, any Republican 377 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: Conservative that doesn't vote because their candidate didn't win has 378 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: no right to complain about the results of the election. 379 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: If the Democrats win, then they can count themselves as 380 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: the reason why. Mike says, I don't understand how you 381 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: can't see the Democrats want to go against Donald Trump. 382 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: He is far less electable because there are many people 383 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: who will never vote for Trump. They wouldn't vote for 384 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Trump if Satan was the other candidate. You've got to 385 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: see they want Trump. They can make it about character, 386 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: not about policies. And I doubt there's any policy any 387 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: true Republican disagrees with DeSantis on don't be hard headed. 388 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: I know you have allegiance to Donald Trump. William Clay, 389 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: you were right about those who refuse to vote if 390 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not on the ballot, Steven, If God forbid, 391 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not on the ticket, I will vote 392 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: no matter what. I would be tempted to write in 393 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: a vote for Trump. However, I understand the math. I 394 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: would hold my nose and vote for the Republican candidate. 395 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: It didn't work when I voted for Mitt the Rhino Romney, 396 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: but I think there was cheating going on even back 397 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: then when the Messiah got reelected. Susan, Okay, it's obvious 398 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: the media is trying to push Trump on us. Let's 399 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: look at some basics. Trump will be seventy eight when 400 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: elected in eighty two when he leaves office. Even if 401 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: he were not turned out after a second term, he 402 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: would be too old to continue his momentum. He represents 403 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: the greatest health risk of the field. Before inauguration, he's 404 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: alienated so many experienced cabinet leaders that he'll waste his 405 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: whole first year trying to find people to work for him. 406 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: Can we get real here. He's a terrible candidate. That's 407 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: why the media is pushing him. You don't hear DeSantis 408 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: backers are refusing to vote only the unthinking. Actually we do, 409 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: we just heard from him earlier today, But only the unthinking. 410 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Trump cult followers are beginning to sound so brain dead 411 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: they almost sound desperate. Patrick, I can tell you I 412 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: won't vote unless the nominee is either Trump, DeSantis or Ramaswami. 413 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: Everyone else in the field is the neo con globalist loser. 414 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: There's no way I would vote for Haley or that 415 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: blowhard Christy. Same with Mike Pence, who was more cut 416 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: out to be a preacher than a politician. Call me 417 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: a loser all you want. I think anyone who votes 418 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: for any Republican other than these three are the true losers. Also, 419 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: Chris Christy is basically awful, is what he says. Okay, 420 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: So I just wanted to read all those emails. Those 421 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: are all the most die hard Clay and buck listeners. 422 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: They are VIPs. Almost all of them have a different opinion. 423 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: So what I am saying to all of you out 424 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: there is whatever opinion you have in the primary right now, 425 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: half the people listening disagree with you. And so what 426 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: I am focused on is as we get ready for 427 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: the debate tomorrow, and we're going to be talking about 428 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: it a ton Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and I'll take some 429 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: of your calls to finish out this show. All I 430 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: am saying is this is setting up just like the 431 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: Democrats warn't. They want Republicans nasty and feuding with each 432 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: other and saying that if their candidate doesn't win, they're 433 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: not going to show up. If you asked Joe Biden 434 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: right now, what is the single best thing that could 435 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: happen in your opinion, it's Trump people saying they aren't 436 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: going to show up if Trump's not the nominee, and 437 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: it's the anti Trump vote saying they're not going to 438 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: show up if Trump is the nominee. Because what Joe 439 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: Biden wants is for this to be a referendum on 440 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: the Republican Party and Donald Trump or any other nominee, 441 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: and not a referendum on his presidency. Because it is 442 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of doubt that if this is a 443 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: referendum on Joe Biden, which is what elections featuring incumbents 444 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: should be, do you like the direction of the country 445 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: or not. Are you happy about the economy, are you 446 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: happy about the border? Are you happy about crime? Are 447 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: you happy about education of your children? Are you happy 448 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: about foreign policy? The answer of all of those issues 449 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: is no. All of you are unhappy because all of 450 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: them represent different degrees of failure from Joe Biden. And 451 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: some of you are getting fired up at me for 452 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: pointing out a simple truth. If you do not show up, 453 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to win. And I think the 454 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 1: ultimate failure is if you decide that you're so committed 455 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: to one candidate that you are not going to show 456 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: up because you think it's no big deal that there's 457 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: not a big difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, 458 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: or Donald Trump and whoever the candidate would be, or 459 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: DeSantis versus Biden, there is a huge difference. Every single 460 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: Republican candidate would be immeasurably better than Joe Biden is 461 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: right now. And what I am telling you is I 462 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: am seeing a great deal of civil war inside of 463 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, which I expected. But what I didn't 464 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: expect is to hear from so many people out there 465 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: saying I'm not going to show up. And if you 466 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: are making the argument that you are not going to 467 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: show up if your preferred CANi and it isn't selected 468 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: in the Republican primary, I think you're being a loser. 469 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: I think that is the definition of loser behavior because 470 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: you are guaranteeing that Joe Biden wins, and if Joe 471 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: Biden wins, we are all losers. And I think that 472 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: makes some people uncomfortable. But the hard truth of reality 473 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: is important. It's funny to me that people who claim 474 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: to be Trump supporters can be insulted by being told anything, 475 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: because the number one argument against Trump very often is 476 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: what his tweets make me upset. He doesn't speak delicately enough. 477 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: He hurts my feelings with what he says. The truth 478 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: sometimes stings, and it sometimes is bracing, and it sometimes 479 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: makes you uncomfortable. And the truth is this, if you 480 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: don't show up, especially if you don't show up in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, 481 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Wisconsin, where I am sitting right now, then 482 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: you are handing the election to Joe Biden. And so 483 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking a lot about what those 484 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: eight people on the debate stage say and how they 485 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: perform tomorrow. I can't wait to actually have a real debate, 486 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: to break down and analyze with all of you. Trump 487 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: is not going to be on that stage. He is 488 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: a looming shadow, a massive figure, even though he's not 489 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: going to be there. But I would say the number 490 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: one cardinal rule, and I would say this for every 491 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: single person that is out there that is going to 492 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: be on that stage. Joe Biden is the enemy and 493 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: the policies of the Democrats have failed. They're trying right now. 494 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: You just heard Tommy Larren talking with us in the 495 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: second hour. There are colleges right now reinstituting mask mandates 496 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia. Is it Morris Brown College. I don't 497 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: even know that college very well. Morris Brown College in 498 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta is mandating masks returned for their kids on college campuses. 499 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: A Hollywood studio, Lionsgate, is mandating that everyone on the 500 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: studio wear masks again. Soon, mark my words, one or 501 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: more major American cities will reinstitute mask mandates. They are 502 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: not going to stop being crazy. The only way you 503 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: stop insanity is by winning. All that matters is winning, 504 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: and that is what I am going to maniacally and 505 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: Buck is to focus on over the next sixteen or 506 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: seventeen months. And I don't know that anybody in media 507 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: is going to work harder on behalf of whomever the 508 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: Republican nominee ends up being than Buck and myself. I 509 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: will pledge to you, I'll be everywhere in this country, 510 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: every battleground. If they think I can help remotely, I'm 511 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: gonna be there working my ass off, just like I 512 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty two. And I would submit to 513 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: all of you out there. If you aren't gonna work 514 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: your ass off either, then don't wake up the day 515 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: after the election if we lose and complain about what happened. 516 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to ever be in a position. You 517 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: know how I wasn't happy with twenty twenty two, right, 518 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: But you know, the night before the twenty twenty two elections, 519 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: I got back home at two am from Atlanta, Georgia, 520 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: where I had gone for the final herschel Walker rally, 521 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: and then I got up on the air and I 522 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: spent three hours imploring every single one of you to 523 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: get out and vote. I was dog tired when I 524 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: got home at two am on election day, but Also, 525 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: I felt great because I knew that I had done 526 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: everything I personally could to help to advocate for this 527 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: that I believed was right. And I can't imagine being 528 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: in this listening audience right now and waking up on 529 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: the morning after election day and not feeling like I 530 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: had given every ounce of my ability to try and 531 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: ensure that my team won. And I am hearing a 532 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: lot of people out there already malingering, already attacking, already 533 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: not giving their all sixteen months before the election. That 534 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: to me is a loser way of thinking. And I 535 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: think you have to call out loser ways of thinking. 536 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a delicate snowflake. I think some of the 537 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: best coaches that I ever had sometimes they really lit 538 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: us up and a lot of times guess what we 539 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: needed it. And if you are in a generation where 540 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: you think, oh, we came in eighth, but we still 541 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: get a trophy, this is really not going to be 542 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: the show for you for the next sixteen months. I'm 543 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: not a baby er. I'm not a hey, you did 544 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: really good. It's a win or it's a loss. There's 545 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: a scoreboard for a reason, there's an electoral college for 546 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: a reason. My goal is to kick ass and win, 547 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: and sometimes that means you have to share hard truths. 548 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: And if you just want people who are gonna baby you, 549 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: there are plenty of those people out there. If you 550 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: just want people who are going to say exactly what 551 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: you already want to hear, there's an entire industry of 552 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: those people. That doesn't help. That doesn't help you win. 553 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: You walk into a locker room and a coach always says, you, 554 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: guys were amazing, You're so incredible, you couldn't have been 555 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: any better, and you just lost a game. Doesn't work. 556 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: It's not what we're gonna do here. But if you 557 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: are willing to give everything, if you are willing to 558 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: leave every ounce out there, I'm not asking you guys 559 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: to do anything that I'm not willing to do. I 560 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: will guarantee you that on election Day twenty twenty four, 561 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: I am going to have nothing left. I'm going to 562 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: have left every ounce of my energy on the field. 563 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to be everywhere all over the country, so 564 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: is Buck. If you aren't willing to do that too 565 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: to win, then in my opinion, you're a loser because 566 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: you are going to lose. So if you're out there 567 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: right now, and you're saying, Oh, I'm going to watch 568 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: the Republican debate, but if this guy ends up the nominee, 569 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna show up. I think you're engaging in 570 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: loser thinking, which is gonna lead directly to being a loser. 571 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: And if that upsets you, I'm sorry. The cold hard 572 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: reality of truth isn't shared with you often enough, but 573 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be shared here. And guess what. We're gonna win, 574 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna kick ass. And guess what also, 575 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a lot of fun along 576 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: the way.
