12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: Breaking news. We anticipated told you it was coming, but

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve has officially raised its key rate by

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: three quarters of a point for a third straight time

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: to fight inflation. This was not a particular surprise, although

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Buck maybe suggesting that Wall Street is getting nervous about

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: the Fed not being aggressive enough. Stocks are now down

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred points in the wake of this decision.

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: I did not hear very many people arguing that they

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: needed less than a three quarter rate increase. A lot

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: of people out there were saying maybe a full point

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: was justified, and I wonder on some level whether that

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: is the on Wall Street regardless, stocks now down. Biden

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: has been in office for almost two years, and I'll

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: get the staff to look this up again because I

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: can't remember the exact number. But effectively, if you had

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: bought stock on the day that Joe Biden entered into

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: the White House January twentieth, I believe a twenty twenty one,

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: I believe at best you are essentially break even, and

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I think you're down a little bit now, which is

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: not that common to have a two year process where

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the stock market has essentially not moved and or gone down.

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: One of many things that Joe Biden has gotten wrong.

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: A lot of discussion out there, although I think it

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: will fade quickly. The New York Attorney General, who is

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: running for reelection in forty eight days, Letitia James, has

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: made the decision to file a lawsuit criminal in nature, sorry,

38
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: civil in nature, not criminal, alleging that Trump had committed

39
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: fraud on some of his applications for loans in the

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: state of New York. This feels transparently political, and again

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: it is civil, not criminal in nature. Meaning it is

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: effectively a money based argument. She's seeking two hundred and

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars in penalties. Good luck, but associated with that,

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the former attorney general under Trump and under George H. W. Bush,

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Bill Barr, he's on Fox right now. I just saw

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: the quote a second ago though, that this Letitia James,

47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: the Attorney General of New York civil suit is the

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: result of Trump derangement syndrome. Bars. I know, people other

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: criticisms of them sometimes in this audience. He did some

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: very good things under Trump. He you know, him and

51
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: Trump had a parting of ways towards the end of

52
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: the administration. He's a very smart lawyer. And if he

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: says that this is crazytown, it's crazytown. Well and Buck,

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: we said this in the first hour. As soon as

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: this news came down, and you see that it is

56
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: civil and not criminal, I just immediately kind of toss

57
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: it on the scrap heap of This is not a

58
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: story that is very significant. Now. She says that she

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: referred what she believes are criminal acts to the federal

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: government to the irs. But my point on this is,

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: if she had the goods, she would have brought the

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: case herself under state statutory law of a criminal nature.

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: She wants Trump badly. The fact that all she could

64
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: put together were civil charges, civil lawsuit related allegations as

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: opposed to criminal is I think a very big deal here.

66
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: And remember the Southern District of New York. I believe

67
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm correct in that buck whatever district had the official

68
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Trump investigation that was going. Alvin Bragg is the newest

69
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: am I correct in this. I think I've got all

70
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: this right. You're the New Yorker. I'll defer to you

71
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: if I get it wrong. But reports have been that

72
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: he has essentially said there doesn't seem to be much

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: of a criminal nature that he's going to be able

74
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: to bring in the Southern District of New York against

75
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Trump either. And so so Alvin Bragg is a district

76
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: attorney for New York City, So okay, Southern District of

77
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: New York would be all that that. I don't know,

78
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know who the US attorney came out basically, Yeah,

79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: So I apologize for getting that wrong. There was a

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: report that came out of it may have been five

81
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: or six months ago that essentially said the federal courts

82
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: in New York that had been investigating Trump. They basically

83
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: let it go. Let yet that let that grand jury expires.

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, Damian Williams, who I've honestly never

85
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: even heard of before, I believe, is the uh the

86
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: US Attorney for the Southern District right now nominated, oh well,

87
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: nominated by Biden in August of twenty twenty one. So

88
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: it's only been a year. And Williams this is but

89
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: this is interesting. So Damian Williams only been in office

90
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: as the as the US Attorney for the and the

91
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: Southern District is, by the way, it's where our friend

92
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy spent over twenty years as an a USA.

93
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: They handle a lot of I mean, the two courts

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna get sort of the biggest stuff going on

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: is usually the Southern District and the DC Circuit. Right.

96
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: DC Circuit courts handle a lot of the federal government stuff.

97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: The Southern District gets all the big Wall Street cases.

98
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: Obviously because of where Trump is and the Trump organization is,

99
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: it would fall under the Southern District of New York.

100
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: In that respect, I dealt with the World Trade Center

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: case bombings and things like that, a lot of terrorism cases.

102
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: Southern District Clay Damian Williams is not a name that

103
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: people know, and that might change depending on how this

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: all goes forward. You know, we all know that prosecutors

105
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: at this level often take very big cases to make

106
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: their careers, and even if they of higher aspirations. But yeah,

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I know the Bragg, who is the attorney district Attorney

108
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: for New York City as basically said, look that the

109
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: Trump tax evasion thing for New York state taxes all

110
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: the other thing dealing with state tax authorities is annoying.

111
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Dealing with the federal tax authorities can send you to prison, right,

112
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's usually a different level as well. So

113
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: my point on it is and I kind of got

114
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: all that mixed up. But there has not been any

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: suggestion that criminal charges are coming out of the State

116
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: of New York, either federal, state, or city related charges

117
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: of a variety of degrees. So Alvin Bragg basically has

118
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: kind of waved the white flag. We don't know necessarily

119
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: what the Southern District of New York would do. That

120
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: would certainly be under the purview to a large extent

121
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: of Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, and it's hard to

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: believe that if he's making a case elsewhere, he would

123
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: want the charges brought there. But the big picture here

124
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: is I think it's significant these are civil allegations. Letitia

125
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: James has spent years trying to get Donald Trump. She

126
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: promised that she was going to do it. She is

127
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: running for reelection in forty eight days. She's on the

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: ballot as the ag of New York, and she has

129
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: only been able to make civil now allegations stick against

130
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Still nothing criminal. I would also like all

131
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: these voices that we always hear from in the media,

132
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: and these former government officials talk about our sacred democracy

133
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: and our institutions and their institutions of government and how

134
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: important is to protect them. Always in the context of

135
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the Republicans are tearing all this down.

136
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: What could be more damaging to the public's faith in

137
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: The most fearsome weapon the federal government has against its

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: own citizens, short of just turning the military on everybody,

139
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: is the prosecutor's office, and the one that's by far

140
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: the most likely to ruin your life. If a federal

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: prosecutor decides that he or she is coming after you,

142
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: you're probably going bankrupt, your reputation, is probably destroyed and

143
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: you may end up in federal prison for a long time.

144
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: There is very little you can think of. I believe

145
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: that would be more damaging to the public's faith in

146
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: the apparatus in the government then this maniacal get Trump,

147
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: bring the suit, bring the investigation, look for more charges,

148
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: leak more stuff from the prosecutor's offices. At some point,

149
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: everyone's got to realize this is just nuts. These people,

150
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: the little commissars, have gone too far, and we have

151
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: to think about what the motivations are. Our staff, Greg

152
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: did a good job for us whipping this thing up.

153
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: This is Letitia James talking about how she's gonna go

154
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: after Donald Trump. This is again the current New York

155
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: Attorney General talking about going after former president Donald Trump.

156
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: This is a a montage. Listen to this. We're going

157
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: to be as into the office every day. I mean,

158
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: so Buck, when you're a prosecutor and you bragged that

159
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: you're going to sue Trump and then you sue Trump.

160
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people out there

161
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: who say, yeah, this doesn't really feel like justice being blind,

162
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: especially in an era in New York City and New

163
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: York State when crime is rampant, all of the resources.

164
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: I would love to know how much money they've spent

165
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: investigating Donald Trump over this issue. To file a civil lawsuit,

166
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: not a criminal lawsuit. It feels like a swing in

167
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: a miss by someone who was desperate to try to

168
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: get Trump and send him a And this is also

169
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: why I think it's really important, it has been important

170
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: and will continue to be going forward, that the benefit

171
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: of the doubt with any of this stuff, for any

172
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: fair minded person needs to go to Trump every time,

173
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: meaning anytime you hear all the walls are closing in

174
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: another investigation, Trump did this crime or that crime. No, no, no,

175
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: this is a tactic. This is what they do. And

176
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: this is why when we see the nuclear secret story

177
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: in the Washington Post about the Marlago documents, it's no, no, sorry.

178
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: We do not trust the libs who push this stuff.

179
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: We do not trust the prosecutors and FBI and investigators.

180
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: They have broken our trust. They do not deserve our trust.

181
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Anything involving Trump. You have to start from this premise

182
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: of this is dirty politics. Once again. Yeah, and I

183
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: think this is also worth mentioning for people who might

184
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: not have heard the first hour. You and I are now, however,

185
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: in agreement that they are going to charge, I think

186
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: it probable or they will charge. I never thought they

187
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: will never go to charge Trump. I just have thought

188
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: at different times. I think it's been you know, it's

189
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: like the odds in Vegas have been changing right on

190
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: the elections. I think that they've been seeing how it

191
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: all plays out. I mean, the one that I know,

192
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the one that I look, I'm gonna have to come

193
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: out here and do a big bag of culpa. If

194
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: with federal criminal charges against Hunter Biden, that will be

195
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: a shock to me. If they bring an obstruction charge

196
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump for classified documents, I mean, I think

197
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: the chance of that probably is sixty forty right now. Yeah,

198
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna do it, and the timing on it,

199
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll do it before the election. But

200
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth contemplating for everybody out there,

201
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: because there'll be a lot of attention for this for

202
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: a couple of days and then it's gonna get bogged

203
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: down in civil litigation and go on for years. Trust

204
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: me on this, The big story will be Oh, she

205
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: referred so many documents and so much information of criminal nature,

206
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: and she claim that she had it all. If she

207
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: had it, and if she had the president dead to

208
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: rights on criminal charges even close to it, she would

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: have brought these charges her self. Buck. She wouldn't have

210
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: passed it off to the federal government. She would have

211
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: found the state statute to attach it to she wants.

212
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: And there's so many of these prosecutors, the one down

213
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Letitia James, so many of these investigations. They

214
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: want to become effectively made men in the Democrat Party

215
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: by being the person who took down Donald Trump because

216
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: for their own political legitimacy, that gives them the next

217
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: generation worth of things to run on. I just want

218
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: to know, how do we get the Libs to come

219
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: down off the ledge here of their Trump's Arrangement syndrome.

220
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens to them. Let's say, let's say

221
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't run or you know, let's let's say that

222
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: they don't have this anymore. There's really this expectation that

223
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: has been created in the NPR, listening CNN, watching New

224
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: York Times reading audience that this is this pivotal moment

225
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: in the country. I mean, and they believe this. There

226
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: are people who think that they are completely on solid

227
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: ground saying that Donald Trump could destroy the entire country

228
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: if he's president again. I mean, we don't sit here.

229
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Biden himself is going to end America.

230
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: He's just kind of a dumb guy who's doing bad

231
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: things that are making everything more expensive, less safe, and

232
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: more annoying. But I'm not saying that he's going to

233
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: end the Republic as we know it. He's not smart

234
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: enough to figure out how to do it. I think

235
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: they actually say that about Trump all the time. Yeah,

236
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: my concern is they're going to pivot that allegation no

237
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: matter how. It's gonna be Ronda Santis or they will

238
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: move to Rhonda Santis is actually Trump is worse than Hitler,

239
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: and Rhonda Santis is worse than Trump, who is worse

240
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: than Hitler. They will do it without batting an eyelash.

241
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know that it's going to go away.

242
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: I think they bought in so aggressively to the idea

243
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: that their opponents are evil that the opponent doesn't even

244
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: matter that much. Trump is to a large degree a

245
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: symptom of their insanity, not the cause of it. That's

246
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: my thesis. Now, business owners don't have it easy these days,

247
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to managing staff, hiring good and

248
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: talented people, keeping up with changing regulations, HR compliance, processing payroll. Look,

249
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. If you were trying

250
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: to run a business now, right now, there's a limit

251
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: to what you can do to keep your employees engaged

252
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: and simultaneously be able to run your business. Thankfully, inspirities

253
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: out there. They put thirty plus years of HR experience

254
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: to work to help you develop a people strategy that

255
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: supports your business strategy focusing on the health of your organization.

256
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: What if your HR strategy included access to better benefits

257
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: to help you keep the employees you have and attract

258
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: new ones. What if it also offered training for your

259
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: employees to increase their skills so they became more productive.

260
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: There will always be challenges to face in business, no

261
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: matter where they come from. Insparities ready to help you

262
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: move past them by providing the HR solutions you need.

263
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: With inspiity, nothing seems impossible. Inspirity HR that makes a difference.

264
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: The torch of truth past and still lit every day.

265
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Welcome back to

266
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck a little bit of backup for Team

267
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: Buck over here, mister Clay coming courtesy of Alan from Albuquerque,

268
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Alan, you have some thoughts on the royals, Yeah,

269
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: for sure. You guys love to talk about meritocracy. That's

270
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: what we're all about. Man. You know George Washington, they

271
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: wanted to make him king. He said, no way. So

272
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: we should not be engaging and enjoying any anything that's

273
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: just by virtue of being born, you're suddenly important. No way. Mary. Look,

274
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want an American royal family, all right.

275
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I support it. I'm just saying

276
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: that it's entertaining and that I can't look away, and

277
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: that I care about the drama in the same way

278
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: that I care about drama every Look. I want drama

279
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: to exist everywhere except in my own life and in

280
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: my own house. I want drama free existence for me.

281
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: I want everybody else to have drama everywhere we look.

282
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: I like it. I promised you guys. If Claiver shows

283
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: up wearing a crown with like a big a cape

284
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: with like white trim and it's all red or purple

285
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: or whatever, I promise I will call him out, Alan,

286
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. He's he's with me on the

287
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Royals at least not everybody's brought in by this. And

288
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: then there's something else that I wanted to mention for everybody,

289
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and that is that Fauci is still making the rounds here.

290
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: He is on the Biden pandemic comment, because we're gonna

291
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: talk about this more in a second, saying that we're

292
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: not where we need to be. The intensity of the

293
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: outbreak now, even though it is I believe, unacceptably hot

294
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: where we're having four hundred deaths per day when you

295
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: compare it to the fullman in stages we've experienced over

296
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: the past year or so, where we used to have

297
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: eight hundred to nine hundred thousand cases per day and

298
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: over three thousand deaths per day. We are much better

299
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: off now, but we are not where we need to

300
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: be if we're going to be able to quote live

301
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: with the virus. No, we actually are where we need

302
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: to be. Man, man whose entire reason for existence is

303
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: virus continues to find virus important. I mean, that's kind

304
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: of the story here, right. If Aucie ever came out

305
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: and said, you know, COVID's over, he would have no

306
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: reason to exist anymore. No one would care what he

307
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: had to say on anything. So of course he and

308
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: all these other COVID experts and experts is in quotation

309
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: mark are going to be arguing that COVID hasn't gone anyway.

310
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: But we'll find out what the private fouci was saying.

Speaker 1: you could be eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate

315
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: about the twenty six thousand dollars per employee. This isn't alone,

331
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We are joined

332
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: now by Brian Morgan Stern. We were just talking about

333
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: the hippocrisy out there from our good friend doctor Fauci.

334
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: And Brian has got a great book out. He was

335
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: a former White House Deputy Press Secretary. He's the owner

336
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: of Win the Future Strategies and his book is out

337
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Vignettes and Vino Dinner Table Stories from the Trump White

338
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: House with the recipes and cocktail pairings behind the scenes. Brian,

339
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: I read this and I was like, it doesn't surprise

340
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: me at all. Doctor Fauci actually mocked the stupidity of

341
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: restaurant restrictions where you had to wear a mask until

342
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: you sat down at your table. Yes, Clay and Buck,

343
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you, and yes, of course

344
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he did. My blood was boiling because everyone was suffering

345
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: from pandemic restrictions, and of course people would walk into

346
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: a restaurant wearing a mask and then sit down at

347
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: the table and have a conversation and a whole meal

348
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: with no mask on. Anyone was common sense knows that

349
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: that was ridiculous, including Fauchi, because I was in a

350
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: meeting with him when he commented on that and laughed

351
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: about how ridiculous it was. But of course he wouldn't

352
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: then go out and tell the people that some of

353
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: the restrictions were ridiculous. He would just kind of laugh

354
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: behind their backs, including at his own comment about wearing

355
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: goggles and multiple masks, which he made on television after

356
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: of course he was against masks before he was for them,

357
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: and then when he was for them, he was for

358
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: multiple masks and goggles. And behind the scenes he was

359
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: laughing about how ridiculous his own comments were and how

360
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: he could really just get everybody to believe anything this

361
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: guy said, but he was wrong about everything. Over the

362
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: course of the pandemic, the media painted this guy to

363
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: be America's doctor, But speaking to myself, I don't want

364
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: him to be my personal doctor, let alone the country's doctor,

365
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: because he was wrong about every major thing throughout the pandemic. So, Brian,

366
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: it's Buckett. You were obviously Deputy Press Secretary Trump White House.

367
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: You're there in the early stages the pandemic. All this

368
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: stuff is going on. For me, the original sin of

369
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: Fauciism was the flip flop on masks. Right. He initially

370
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: is going, look, masks doesn't really do anything and might

371
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: make people feel better, and then all of a sudden,

372
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: it's just they're all these mask policies going in all

373
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: across the country, the federal mask mandate on planes. Was

374
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: there an awareness in the White House of that Fauci switch, Like,

375
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: how did that actually come to be? And I also

376
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: want to ask you we were I was told, I

377
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: was told who wasn't a senior White House official? I

378
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: cant remember who was now who actually claimed that doctor

379
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Burkes was as bad as Fauci on the duplicity and

380
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: all this stuff. So I wanted to tackle both of those.

381
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: So there was a sense that Fauchi and Burkes both

382
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: actually were really airing on the side of caution. That

383
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: is the understatement of the century in terms of advocating

384
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: for restrictive policies and Scott Atlas, remember President Trump brought

385
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: him onto the task force. He was the kind of

386
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: voice who would say, the cure can't be worse than

387
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: the disease. There was an atmosphere in the country that

388
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: COVID was this unknown silent killer, and so we should

389
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: be safe rather than sorry, and so the kind of

390
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: voices of caution one out At that time. We knew

391
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: that Fauci and Burths liked to get a lot of attention,

392
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: and in order to get a lot of attention, they

393
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: had to scare people, and so they did that a lot.

394
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: The sort of fine line we had to walk was

395
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: let people know that President Trump was taking the pandemic seriously,

396
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: but again that the cure can't be worse than the disease.

397
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that kind of answered both of

398
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: your questions in one thing, but I'm happy to take

399
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: another swing at it. Yeah, Brian, Obviously we know Fauci

400
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: is a fraud, and we've been frustrated with him on

401
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: this program for the entire length of the time that

402
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: we've been on the air together, and before that when

403
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: we had solo shows, we were super frustrated with him.

404
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: What was his overall, What was the overall vibe of

405
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Fauci behind the scenes in the White House? In other words,

406
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: how much you've told us that he would say things

407
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: privately which were very different than what he would say publicly.

408
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: How much of a difference was there in Fauci in

409
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: public in private in general. So he was the joke

410
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: that we used to tell what was We were referred

411
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: to him as Saint Anthony because of how he was

412
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: portrayed in the media. But what we had learned in

413
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: dealing with him was that he was really an egomaniac

414
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: who was wrong a lot, and that's very dangerous when

415
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: you're talking about science in medicine. Of course, he was

416
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: wrong about the severity of the virus early on, he

417
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: said it was not something people should worry about. He

418
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: was before four masks, or against the masks, before he

419
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: was for them. He said vaccines could not possibly be

420
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: created in less than eighteen months. Now we created them

421
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: in nine months. He can argue about the efficacy, but

422
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: the process was nine months. He was wrong by exactly

423
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. He said he was wrong about when

424
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: President Trump should be vaccinated because he had already had COVID.

425
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean I can go on and on, but he

426
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: was not an easy person to deal with. Of course,

427
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: he's the only person I ever encountered to use the

428
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: term latins un ironically when he would always talk about

429
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: the vaccine studies. Then we got to get more Latinis

430
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: in the study. You got to have more Latini. That's

431
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: actually a promocatic example of how left wing he is too.

432
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: By the way, it's also a pretty good Faucci that

433
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: Brian pull there. I'm feeling, you know, Brian's give good

434
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: pressure putting a competition, So Brian so Faucci was obviously,

435
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I joke around with people, but I'm not

436
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: really that joking that I don't think any and thinks

437
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Fauci's worse than I do. Did Trump figure this out?

438
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: Like I mean, this is because right now, you know,

439
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: we support the big guy, and there are a lot

440
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: of things that he did that were fantastic. But he

441
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: says I did the opposite of everything Fauci told me

442
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: to do. Unfortunately, that's not true. At what point did

443
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: Fauci Did Trump rather realize this guy's meaning Faucci is

444
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: a problem. So there were comments that President Trump made

445
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: that I think it leaked out. I think he was

446
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: making them on a teletown hall to some donors at

447
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: the time, if my memory served, and he basically articulated

448
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: the position that most of us had at that time

449
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: from a purely sort of campaign public relations standpoint, and

450
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: again walking that fine line of taking the virus seriously

451
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: but also trying to do the right thing for the

452
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: people and not having the cure of me worse than

453
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: the disease. The President said, I'm basically stuck between a

454
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: rock and a hard place. I'm paraphrasing. He said, if

455
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: I fire the guy, I pull him off, I take

456
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: him away, then all of a sudden, there's this huge

457
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: bomb that comes out about how I'm not trusting the

458
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: science and all of this, Whereas if I just kind

459
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: of let him run his mouth, but then I also

460
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: say my opinion, you know, at least it's kind of equal. Basically,

461
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: he said, we're gonna have bombs thrown at us either way.

462
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: So sometimes in life you only have bad choices. And

463
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: I would say that the way Fauci was propped up

464
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: by the Democrats and the media left President Trump with

465
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: only bad choices. It's either let him run his mouth,

466
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: and also counter him or fire him and have one

467
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: giant explosion all at once. Brian, do you think Trump's

468
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: gonna run again? And how much do you think? Obviously

469
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: the sort of legal troubles surrounding him impact whether he's

470
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: going to run again or not. So I would say,

471
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: given what I've observed since the White House, he's involved

472
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: at every level, He's got the most powerful endorsement, he's

473
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: still doing rally, it seems to me more likely than

474
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: not Trump runs. He also wants to counter those who

475
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: are out to get him by saying, you know, this

476
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: is for political purposes. I think they're actually sort of

477
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: baiting him into running. I think it's more likely than not.

478
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: The other side of the coin, which I think is

479
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: again less than fifty percent, would be he says, you

480
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: know what, I'm having so much fun doing live golf.

481
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm having so much fun in the private sector, just

482
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of being a kingmaker, living in Paradise at Marlago.

483
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: Why would I get back into politics. It's such a

484
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: nasty business. So I think he's weighing those things, but

485
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: I would say more than fifty percent, I think he runs. Brian,

486
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: your book Vignettes and Veno Dinner table stories from the

487
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Trump White House with recipes and cocktail parags. Quite a

488
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: cocktail book. Tell me a cocktail table book, I mean,

489
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: tell me a bit about either give me a story,

490
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: a recipe, or a cocktail pairing that forty five himself

491
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: would approve of. Oh my gosh, well okay, so first recipe.

492
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: You know we all know he likes a nicely charred steak.

493
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you went to well done steak. Brian

494
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: were about to dump this audio. Go ahead. My steak

495
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: recipe is not that. It is a steak sandwich recipe

496
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: that my wife came up with. It is thinly sliced,

497
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: well seasoned. It's got a delicious garlic aoli on it,

498
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: served on. I think we have it on Shabbada with

499
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: a rugula on there. It's absolutely delicious. It's an honor

500
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: of a story of when I was with President Trump

501
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: in Bedminster, and of course they make his favorite steak

502
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: in Bedminster. I would say, story my my first week

503
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: at the White House was something I dealt with with Fauci.

504
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: He got himself invited to throw out the first pitch

505
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball when we were going to have

506
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: President Trump throw at the first pitch, but before they

507
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: could announce it, Faucci, whose friends with the Washington nash owners,

508
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: got himself invited. So we had to come up with

509
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: an alternate event, which actually worked out great because we

510
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: had Marianna Rivera with some little leaguers, and we had

511
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: ESPN and Barstool Sports there and it was like a

512
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: total home run of a day. Sorry for the metaphor,

513
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: it was absolutely outstanding. And the poetic justice is that

514
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: when Fauchi throughout the first pitch, other than Carle Ray Jepson's,

515
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: it was the worst first pitch ever thrown, he based

516
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: stole the first pitch honors from Trump. Wow. Yes, So

517
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: our staff was in tonsag with Major League Baseball. They

518
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: were going to have President Trump throughout the first pitch

519
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: before there was any announcement. Fauchi and the Nats conspired

520
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: to get Fauchi invited instead, and they put the announcement

521
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: out before the White House in Major League. Wow. I

522
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: mean that's a great story. I didn't know that. Um,

523
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: thank you for doesn't it. Yeah, I mean that's insane,

524
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: that's so ridiculous. Thank you Brian. The book, obviously, we'd

Speaker 1: you guys, thanks for having me on. Great to chat. Look,

529
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: having an emergency food supply on hand is a prudent

530
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: investment no matter what's going on. We just had the

531
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: FED increase interest rates. We got all sorts of issues

532
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: with supply chain. Still can't find a lot of your

Speaker 1: of Bryan's Cocktail and Recipe book to make sure that

557
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: I try to stake sandwich. It's not I'm getting hungry, Clay,

558
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: this would happened. This is the lunchtime work for the

559
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: I love this time slot. It's a lot of fun

560
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: doing the show, but it's impossible to have a normal lunch,

561
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: by and large when you're on from eleven to two

562
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: where I am, twelve to three where you are. Yeah,

563
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: I have perfected the art of eating a cheeseburger in

564
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: less than the four minutes we have on a station break, which,

565
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: let me tell you, you got to Wolf that thing down. Man,

566
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: it's you're not your four minutes for a cheeseburger sounds

567
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: like enough time. But you know what, Clay, I'm just

568
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: not a quitter. You know, I'm a guy who gets

569
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: it done. It is a it's a tight fit. It's

570
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: the only bad thing about this, uh this time slot

571
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: is it's tough to figure out how exactly to balance

572
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: out your lunch. But we are managing to survive, fortunately are,

573
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: but you know, it's not managed to survive some of

574
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: the characters on the House of the Dragon show. Have

575
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: you been watching this one? Oh? Of course, yeah, I

576
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: gotta say episodes. It's pretty good when I watch a

577
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: show that is based upon another the successful show and

578
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: a new version of it. This is a prequel, of course,

579
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, wow, they're actually doing the whole

580
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: good writing thing or or staying true to what made

581
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: the original so good, a little bit like the Top

582
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: Gun Maverick phenomenon, right where it's like, just take the

583
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: things that we're amazing, update them, execute it well. I

584
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: think that it's a pretty it's a better prequel than

585
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: I expected. Honestly, at this stage it's been it's been

586
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. I don't know how much. What percentage you

587
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: think of our audience are House of the Dragon watchers

588
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty great question? Ten I don't know ten percent. I

589
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: mean there's a monster audience. I think like twenty million

590
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: people globally or something like that watch that, right, But

591
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's a small percentage of Americans in general

592
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: that watch any show basically except for NFL football, which

593
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: everybody watches. Um but I would guess that's it's a

594
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: great question. What percentage of really play. Everybody watches NFL football,

595
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: everybody playing much everybody, every normal American but l football.

596
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: I know people have been antagonized over the political related

597
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about total numbers. Oh, I just meant

598
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: me like, I haven't seen in the NFL. Did you

599
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl last year? I think I did watch.

600
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: That's just an excuse to hang out with my dad

601
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: and my brothers. But I you know, let's I mean

602
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people watch the Super Bowl who have

603
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: no interest in the NFL over you know, one hundred million.

604
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: I am more concerned with the with the food situation

605
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: a super Bowl part yeah, which is I mean the

606
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: dip if you if you don't go all out with

607
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: your Super Bowl dip. I feel like that's a huge

608
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: missed opportunity because no matter did the caloric content, the macros,

609
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: none of that matters. All that matters is this the

610
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: most delicious liquid you could put on a chip of

611
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: some kind to eat. That is the mission. That is

612
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: I I love that. I'm trying to think. By the way,

613
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: chicken dip, I think is the greatest. Have you ever

614
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: had a buffalo chicken? Was gonna say, like the cheese
