You know, 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be down in Atlanta this weekend, in fact, 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: hopping in a car in about an hour and a 21 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: half and headed down there for the Georgia Alabama game. 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: We are going to be joined by herschel Walker, who 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: may be the man that gives Republicans back control of 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: the Senate at the top of the next hour. But 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: also we're gonna be doing a live show from one 26 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: to three Eastern. If you're going to be down in 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta for the SEC championship game, or if you just 28 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: live in the Atlanta area, we'll be at Stats doing 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: a pregame show for the college football Conference championship weekend. 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: It's fun, come by, swing hangout. But I was listening 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: to some of the monologues from all of the different 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: late night comedians and by the way, Greg Gutfeld Buck 33 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: was on his show last night. Buck, by the way 34 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: out sick today, but he was an out last night 35 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: doing the show with Gutfeld, and Gutfeld is overwhelmingly dominating 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Trevor Noah, everybody out 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: there who has a late night talk show. And one 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: reason why I think Greg Gutfeld this dominating is because 39 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: he's still trying to make you laugh in the same 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: sort of old school set up as existed with David 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: Letterman and as existed with Johnny Carson, and as I 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: listened to this monologue from Stephen Colbert on abortion. First 43 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: of all, Stephen Colbert is not very smart in terms 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: of analyzing politics. He's also not that funny anymore. It's 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: a very strident, morally focused late night talk show. And 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm forty two and I grew up loving David Letterman. 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: I grew up watching Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, all those 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: people late at night. You remember when you were a 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: kid and you got to stay up a little bit 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: late past your bedtime and you got to watch the 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: late night comedians. Well, so great about them was they 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: were equal opportunity bomb throwers. They'd really legitimately tried. Whether 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: they did it or not perfectly, of course not, but 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: they tried to equally take shots at the excesses and 55 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: stupidities of Republicans and at the excesses and stupidities of Democrats. 56 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: Sort Of imagine Bill Clinton. He was a consistent punchline 57 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: for these guys, even though he's a Democratic politician. George W. 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Bush similarly a consistent punchline. He was a Republican. But 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: they treated the two guys, at least in my experience, 60 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: very similar. Ronald Reagan not a lot different. Even Barack 61 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Obama they would make fun of a little bit. But 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: with Trump they went off the deep end. And now 63 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: without Trump, you know, Stephen Colbert made his entire show 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: and anti Trump screed, and it worked. There were sheep 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: out there that desperately wanted their late night comedians to 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: only make fun of Donald Trump, and then everybody followed. 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: And the reason that Greg Gutfeld is dominating, I think 68 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: is because he just kind of focus is on the 69 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: humor and these other guys have become so strident politically 70 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and they're all coming from the same angle that there's 71 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: a huge opportunity for Greg Gutfeld. But I listened to 72 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: this clip from Stephen Colbert on abortion, and I thought 73 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: to myself, One, this guy's not very smart in terms 74 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: of even what he's trying to say. But two, how 75 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: do we get to a place where a late night 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: comedian walks out onto the stage and this is the 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: jokes in quotation marks jokes that he is making. Last month, 78 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: an ABC News Washington Post poll found that sixty percent 79 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: support upholding Row, compared to only twenty seven percent who 80 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: want to overturn it. If it is this unpopular. Why 81 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: is everyone's saying that's going to happen. Well, and I 82 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: don't want to get too technical, but we what's the word, 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: don't live in a democracy. Five of the nine justices 84 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, the 85 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: last three confirmed by a Republican Senate who now forty 86 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: one million fewer Americans than the Democrats. In fact, Republican 87 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: senators haven't represented a majority of the US population since 88 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. A lot has changed since nineteen ninety six. 89 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Back then, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor went to 90 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey and the best director was Mel Gibson. All right, 91 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: so the Spacey and the Gibson line. Maybe that's the 92 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: attempted joke there. But what he's really saying is if 93 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade gets overturned, it's going to be a 94 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: sign that our democracy doesn't work. To me, it's the 95 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: exact opposite. See, the judges are not elected, they are 96 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: appointed for life. The idea that a judicial system should 97 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: determine a fundamental political question is what I believe has 98 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: made abortion such an incredibly contentious issue in this country. 99 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: We actually would have more of a democracy. Stephen Albert 100 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: if the justices overturned rov Wade and gave back the 101 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: decision to determine whether or not abortion should be legal 102 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: to all of the democratically elected representatives in every state. 103 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: If there is this great ground swell for abortion to 104 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: be legal in your individual state, then the politicians who 105 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: represent the people will allow abortion to be legal. If 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: there is a great ground swell of abortion not to 107 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: be legal in your state, then the politicians will be 108 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: elected who will vote against abortion being legal. What happened 109 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: that Stephen Colbert is defending is the very antithesis of democracy. 110 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Instead of our political system making a choice, hard as 111 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: it may be, about what we want the law to 112 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: be on abortion, we allowed our politicians to punt the 113 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: issue to a court of unelected judges to determine what 114 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: the law of abortion is in the land. That has 115 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: created a great deal of antagonism and poisoned our judicial 116 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: system because it has turned the appointment of justices into 117 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: a political proxy war over abortion. If individual elected politicians 118 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: have to make their choices on abortion public and readily 119 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: viewable for everyone, that is the very essence of what 120 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: a democracy is, because then all of us can decide 121 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: whether to vote for or against those elected officials who 122 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: are letting their voice on abortion be determined. It's frustrating 123 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: to me that the Court would be attacked here for 124 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: potentially making the choice to overrule a precedent that was 125 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: never supported by basic American democracy in the first place. 126 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: What they would be exercising is not judicial activism. It's 127 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: judicial restraint. And what Colbert doesn't understand is that is 128 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: what is supposed to happen in our American democracy, where 129 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: we allow all of you to have your voices heard 130 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: directly when it comes to an issue such as this. 131 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: And again, I want to reiterate, so a lot of 132 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: people out there don't understand what's at stake with the 133 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: Mississippi abortion law. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, every 134 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: individual state would decide whether or not abortion is legal. 135 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: It would not end abortion in America. It would end 136 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: abortion in terms of the Supreme Court deciding it. Then 137 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: all fifty states would get to make a determination about 138 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: what the law is. That is ultimately far more democratic 139 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: than allowing nine unelected justices to determine a fundamentally fundamentally, 140 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: in my opinion, political question. It's probably not a surprise 141 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: that Stephen Colbert is an idiot when it comes to 142 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: analyzing an issue such as this, but it is kind 143 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: of disappointing with all the writers that he has that 144 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: nobody would have pointed that out to him. By the way, 145 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Legacy Box has made plans to be very busy this 146 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: time of year, satisfying families nationwide by bringing their family 147 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: memories back to life.

So it's a break there. 172 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: I told you that I was going to return and 173 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: discuss the federal vaccine mandate that appears to be blowing 174 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: up in Joe Biden's face as the courts are striking 175 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: it down and Joe Mansion, a member of his own party, 176 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: West Virginia Democratic Senator, came out against it. Significant because 177 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: it means the majority of the United States Senate is 178 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: now opposed to federal vaccine mandates, which makes it even 179 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: more difficult for Joe Biden to try to argue that 180 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: he has the authority under OSHA to force through this 181 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,239 Speaker 1: federal vaccine mandate. That doesn't mean, however, that the arguments 182 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: in favor of it have ceased. In fact, they are 183 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: of course being doubled down on by little red lying 184 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: hood herself Jensaki. If you listen to cut eight here, 185 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: she tries to argue that everybody out there who is 186 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: making an argument against the vaccine mandate is just lost 187 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: their mind. Here is her argument. We have seen and 188 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: it has proven. It's not an opinion, it's not sort 189 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: of political even that mandates work. Yeah, how's that going 190 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: to go? How's that going to happen? We're gonna see 191 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: mandates or Republicans going to continue to fight this. I 192 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: bet they continue to fight it, no question about it. 193 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean we saw a group of Republicans just tried 194 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: to shut the government down because they don't think people 195 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: should have to get vaccinated or get tested. I mean, 196 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: that's bananas and crazy. What we're working to try to 197 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,239 Speaker 1: do right now is implement these mandates which are vaccinate 198 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: or test either option very reasonable for businesses around the country. 199 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: And businesses. About sixty percent of businesses are already doing this. Okay, 200 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: So this is significant because I know a lot of 201 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: you out there are being forced or feeling forced to 202 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: get a vaccine. So that is the argument that Jensaki 203 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: and crew that was on Morning Joe I believe making 204 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: the argument that it's bananas and crazy not to have 205 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: a vaccine mandate. We'll sender. Mike Lee fired back and 206 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: said basically that he doesn't understand how anyone could use 207 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: government force to tell someone they needed to cooperate when 208 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: it came to vaccine mandates. I think it's it's difficult 209 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: to understand why anyone would want to use the overpowering 210 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: force the federal government to tell someone that if they 211 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: don't cooperate with the ordained presidential medical orthodoxy, they will 212 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: be fired. This isn't going away. It's gonna come back 213 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: up again. You'll come back up in any future voterrama. 214 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna come back again every time we get the opportunity. 215 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: So here's the argument that I would lay out. If 216 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: your job is arguing that you have to get the 217 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: vaccine because of the Biden administration mandate, and remember Joe 218 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: Biden tried to argue that if you are employed by 219 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: a business that has over a hundred employees, then you 220 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: are obligated to follow this OSHA regulation and to comply 221 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: with the vaccine mandate by a set date. I believe 222 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: it was January fourth. The courts have struck down that mandate. 223 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: So what I want all of you out there listening 224 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: to know and have the ammunition for, is you should 225 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: be able to respond to your employer if they are 226 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: still enforcing this mandate and arguing, again, this is key. 227 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: If they're arguing the reason why you have to do 228 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: it is because of Joe Biden's regulation, you should have 229 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: the ammunition to respond to your employer and say, federal 230 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: courts have actually struck down that mandate. It is not 231 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: in effect right now, so you don't have the ability 232 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: to defer to Joe Biden and argue, hey, you have 233 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: to get a vaccine right now under Joe Biden's order, 234 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: because that order has been found to be unconstant. And 235 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of you out there 236 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: who have not been informed by your employer that may 237 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: well have sent out an email, may well have had 238 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: a big public meeting when Joe Biden issued this mandate. 239 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: They bet they haven't updated you and said, oh, by 240 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: the way, the courts have struck down and said this 241 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: is unconstitutional. I want you to be able to know 242 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: that right now that mandate is not in effect. Now 243 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: if you're a federal employee, that's a little bit different 244 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: of a standard, because Joe Biden has more control over that. 245 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: But Joe Mansion and the majority of the United States 246 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: Senate now have actually repudiated the Biden administration. The Fifth 247 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Circuit has struck it down. It is not in effect 248 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: for private businesses to my knowledge anywhere in the country 249 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: right now. And I think this is wildly important for 250 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: everyone out there listening right now who is at war. 251 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: You have some ammunition in your favor to be able 252 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: to say, no, I am not going to get this 253 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: vaccine because the courts have struck down that mandate and 254 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: the United States Senate, the majority of them have now 255 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: said they do not believe Joe Biden has the authority 256 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: to do this either. Now I'm not saying if your 257 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: employer is trying to make an argument for another reason, 258 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: right They are all different sorts of things that employers 259 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: can try to do, but many of them try to 260 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: avoid having their own policy on COVID vaccine and use 261 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: this Biden administration OSHA policy as the reason that they 262 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: were going to try to make this a reality. So 263 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: I just want everybody to be aware of this, because 264 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: most people in the media haven't done a very good 265 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: job covering this, and they certainly haven't talked about it. 266 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: And I thought it's wildly significant last night that Mansion 267 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: put out that statement to make it clear that there 268 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: is no legislative authority whatsoever to supplement Joe Biden's attempted 269 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: I believe unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate. Now I want to 270 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: reiterate again too, and Buck and I always say this, 271 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: And by the way, Buck is outsick. He doesn't have COVID, 272 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: but he's outsick with a cold. He can barely talk. 273 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: So I'm in solo today that I'm not anti everybody 274 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: getting the vaccine. I believe that if you were over 275 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: sixty five years old, you should get the COVID vaccine, 276 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: and you should also get the booster. I told my 277 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: own parents to do that as my advice. Obviously, I 278 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: don't tell my parents do anything. They make their own choices. 279 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: They raised me. They can make their own choices about 280 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: their health. But I told them, Hey, if I were you, 281 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: this is what I do. They did. Buck made this, 282 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: had the same conversation with his parents. But if you're 283 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: listening to me right now and you're thirty five years 284 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: old and you're healthy, you may have already had COVID 285 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: like I did, and your employer is trying to tell 286 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: you that you have to get the COVID vaccine to 287 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: keep your job because of Joe Biden's mandate. No, there 288 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: is no legal authority for that mandate right now, and 289 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of employers haven't even realized it 290 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: because they wanted to use the Biden vaccine mandate is justification. 291 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: And I haven't seen a lot of media coverage of 292 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: It's not going to surprise you that CNN and MSNBC 293 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: and Washington Post, the New York Times aren't spending a 294 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: lot of time saying, Hey, employees out there, this is 295 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: a big deal. You need to be aware of what 296 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: actually is going on and what your legal rights are. 297 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: And I hope the millions of you out there who 298 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: will hear this discussion will at least be better informed 299 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: than you otherwise would based on what is going on 300 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: right now. I want you to make sure that all 301 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: of you are aware of the constitutional rights you have 302 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: and also will stand up for your freedoms despite the 303 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: fears of others, as I keep saying, and I think 304 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: it's significant your fears don't cancel out our constitutional freedoms. 305 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: The Constitution matters more in times of peril, more in 306 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: times of danger, more in times of fear than it 307 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: does in times of peace. And I am hopeful that 308 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: many of our judges will finally stand up to this 309 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: unconstitutional overreach that we are seeing from the Biden administration 310 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: as it pertains to COVID vaccine mandates. In the meantime, 311 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: I got a funny clip for you, and we come back. 312 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: A lot of people make a lot of money these 313 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: days in sports. Brian Kelly left Notre Dame to go 314 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: to LSU.

Born in the Northeast. 318 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: He addressed the LSU fans last night in the Pantheon 319 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: up there with con Air and Nicholas Cage up there 320 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: with Kevin Spacey and House of Cards.

We 363 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: want to do the same in December. We are joined 364 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: now by Monica Crowley, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Donald Trump, 365 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: and Monica, we appreciate you coming on with us. I 366 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: want to start right off the top here with the 367 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: massive miss when it came to new jobs. An expected 368 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: number of five hundred and seventy three thousand came in 369 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: at two hundred and ten thousand. Why do you think 370 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: that is? Hi, Clay, thank you so much for having me. 371 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: It's great to be here. Well, yeah, we've got another 372 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: huge disappointment in the jobs reports for the month of November, 373 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: and actually over the last four months, three out of 374 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: the last four Clay have been disastrous, starting in August, 375 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: September and then November. October was sort of a more 376 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: positive report, but even that is being revised a little 377 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: bit downward. So it's clear now we're back into a 378 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: downward trend. It's also clear that the labor crunch that 379 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: we have seen essentially since Biden became president is still 380 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: in full effect, and there are a number of reasons 381 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: why we're not seeing jobs take off. The first thing 382 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: is that, you know, during the emergency last year, President 383 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: Trump made the very difficult decision to do a wholesale 384 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: shutdown of the US economy, and that was warranted because 385 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: we had no idea what this ViRGE was or how 386 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: it was going to behave and the whole world was 387 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: shutting down, so there was no way that the United 388 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: States could be the only country not shutting down before 389 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: we had a real handle on what this was all about. 390 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: So when we did that, the government also understood that 391 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: it needed to step into the breach. So we had 392 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: to do this mergency level spending and create all of 393 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: these programs to get American workers and businesses through the 394 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: most acute period of the crisis. Well, that being said, 395 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: the crisis is now over. The emergency has long gone Clay, 396 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: But you've got unified democratic control in Washington between the 397 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: White House and Capitol Health, and what they have done 398 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: is maintained emergency level spending absent the actual emergency, paying 399 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: people more to stay at home than to go to work. 400 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: And I don't care who you are. Most people are 401 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: economically rational, and if you pay them more to stay 402 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: at home then go to work, that's exactly what they're 403 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: going to do. The other thing too, I think, which 404 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: is why over the last few months you've seen such 405 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: a very soft labor market. Is these vaccine mandates. Certainly 406 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: in October and November when the discussion really started ranting 407 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: up about putting all these vaccs mandates. Since place, you've 408 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: seen a lot of people get fired, and you've seen 409 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people very hesitant to get the shot 410 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: to now their futures are very uncertain. They're leaving the 411 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: labor for summer coming back in. We've seen an interesting 412 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: dynamic there, But I think government policy is really continuing 413 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: to have this big wet blanket over the labor market. 414 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: It's fascinating to think about the difference between and I 415 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: started off the show talking about this Monica red state 416 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: recovery economically versus Blue state recovery. While Biden is trumpeting 417 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: the success of his policies, really it's red state America 418 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: that is successful. If everybody looked like Blue state America 419 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: right now, where the numbers I have in front of 420 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: me right now, I mean California still has a seven 421 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: point three percent unemployment rate. New Jersey has a seven 422 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: percent unemployment rate, New York six point nine percent. These 423 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: are the states that are most aggressively embracing Joe Biden's 424 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: economic policies, and they're failing relative to the Florida's, the 425 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: Texas is, the Alabama's, the Tennessee's of the world. Yeah. 426 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: In fact, seventeen of the top twenty states for job recovery. 427 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: We're not talking about job creation here, we're just talking 428 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: about job recovery post pandemic. We're still in that phase. 429 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: So when the White House talks about, oh, we're creating 430 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: these all these new jobs, that is false. This is 431 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: a job recovery operation, not a job creation operation. At 432 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: this point, seventeen out of the top twenty states with 433 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: job recovery, they're all led by Republicans. To your point, 434 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: red states have been far more successful with this economic 435 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: recovery than blue states. You mentioned some of those blue 436 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: states with their unemployment rates. Clay New York City has 437 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: a ten percent unemployment rate. You see the same in 438 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: a lot of these deep blue cities too, like Chicago 439 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and Philadelphia and so on. Look policy matters. We know 440 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: what works. We sought for four years or President Trump 441 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: who put in place a pro growth economic agenda, tax cuts, 442 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: regulatory relief, FARA trade deals, and unleashing our grade energy sector, 443 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: and the direct result was a booming economy with unemployment 444 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: at at or near historic loads for every demographic group 445 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: and poverty at a historic low, including for African Americans. 446 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: So we know what works. The problem now is we've 447 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: got unified government under the Democrats who simply don't care. 448 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, it drives me crazy, Clay when I hear 449 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: people talk about incompetence. Oh, Biden and his team are 450 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: so incompetent, the Democrats are so incompetent. That is false. 451 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: This is not incompetence. This is totally deliberate. This is 452 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: all about re engineering the US economy into a more collectivist, 453 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: socialist kind of model. That's what they want. They do 454 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: not care about policies that actually work for American workers 455 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: and businesses and industries. They do not care about that. 456 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: This is an ideaological jihad to re engineer, reshape the 457 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: country through the US economy. How important within that construct 458 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: is it for the Build Back Better Bill to not 459 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: become law? Given that, I think you probably agree, by 460 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: the way we're talking with Monica Crowley, former Assistant Treasury 461 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: Secretary under President Trump, that Republicans are going to sweep 462 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: back into power, certainly in the House in twenty twenty 463 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: two and probably in the Senate as well, and that 464 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: means that the Democrats wouldn't be able to pass anything 465 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: for the remaining two years of the Biden administration, at 466 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: least not with a lot of Republican support. Do you 467 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: think they're going to be able to ram through the 468 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Build Back Better Bill, this massive multi trillion dollar cost 469 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: package with Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema kind of sitting 470 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: out there on the sideline still uncommitted, or do you 471 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: think that this thing is going to die on the vine? Well, 472 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people say, look, this is 473 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: for Democrats who are essentially Marxists the most part. There 474 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 1: are some exceptions like the two you mentioned, but this 475 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: is essentially a Marxist party now that they view politics 476 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: simply as a vehicle to get their agenda done, the 477 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: fundamental transformation of the nation. So just like with Obama 478 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: when he ran through Obamacare and then the Democrats suffered 479 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: mass losses in twenty ten and both houses flipped and 480 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: you saw thousands of Democrats lose their positions at all 481 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: levels of government across the country. For them, they actually 482 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: think that it's I mean, they'd rather be empowered than 483 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: not play. But if they have to lose power and 484 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: control temporarily, for them, it's worth it if they can 485 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: slam through the agenda and movie a written window even 486 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: further and further left. So their whole view is, well, 487 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: you can't really make a socialist omblet without breaking a 488 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: few eggs. So if we have to lose a few 489 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: national elections here and there, it's okay, we'll come back 490 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 1: at some point. Right, They're just trying to advance the 491 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: ball down the field. Will they get build back better done? 492 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of people are saying, well, yeah, 493 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: because it's worth it for them just to slam something through, 494 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: and it is possible. My view is that if we 495 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: can make it past January first without them getting into 496 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: bill done, then the odds go way down because you 497 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: still have a lot of vulnerable Democrats in purple states 498 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: and districts or red states and districts who are coming 499 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: up for reelection next year. Do they really want to 500 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: go back to their constituents and say, I raise your 501 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: taxes during an election year. I'm not convinced that all 502 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: of this is going to go through. Now. I could 503 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: be wrong, and the Democrats could slam something into place, 504 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: and they'll probably get some kind of compromise. But I 505 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: think the timetable is going to be really crucial here, 506 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: and just keep leaning on all of these people, especially 507 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: the most vulnerable Democrats, that if they do this, they 508 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: are committing political suicide. We're talking to Monica Crowley, former 509 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: Assistant Treasury secretary under President Trump. Last question for you, Monica, 510 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate the time. Do you think Donald Trump is 511 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: going to run for reelection in twenty twenty four? I do, actually, 512 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: I do. You know he hasn't certainly hasn't told me, 513 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: and he hasn't told anybody else for sure. But my 514 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: sense is that he is going to run, and I 515 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: think he's going to run for a number of reasons. 516 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: First of all, he talks about having to bring America back, 517 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: make America great again again, and he's frankly the only 518 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: one who can bring the US economy back a third time. 519 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: He did it when he first came into office. He 520 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: did it last year during the pandemic when we were 521 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 1: coming out of that, and he's the only leader on 522 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: the scene as far as I can see, who could 523 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: do it a third time. So I think he still 524 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: loved the country that I think he's going to do 525 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: it for that reason, But also I think he wants 526 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: to clean up the historical record. I mean, I really 527 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: think that he sees what happens in twenty twenty and 528 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: he wants to give it another run. And again, I'm 529 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: only speaking for myself and speculation, but knowing the president 530 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: as I do, and knowing how much he really cares 531 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: about this country, I think he look if all things 532 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: are equal and his health stays great and Biden continues 533 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: to mess up the country beyond all recognition, I think 534 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: he is going to likely make another run at it, 535 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: and I think we'd be blessed if he were to 536 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: do that. I know I said last question, But if 537 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: he runs, it seems clear that Mike Pence would not 538 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: be his running mate as vice president. Is there somebody 539 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: you'd like to see him pick? Is there a vice 540 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: presidential candidate? Obviously you'd only have four years to serve, 541 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: so his vice presidential pick would be so massively important 542 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: because if he won in twenty twenty four, the presumptive 543 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: candidate in twenty twenty eight would be that vice president. 544 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: Is there somebody you love that you think would be 545 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: a good match, Well, you know, no one in particular, 546 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: But I do know that the Republicans have an extraordinary 547 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: deep base of talent who are populists as well as 548 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: conservatives who could really work with Trump. And if Trump 549 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: doesn't run, they can certainly run on their own and 550 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: be extremely successful. I think, look, whether it's Trump or 551 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: anybody else, Clay, the truth is that Biden is making 552 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: such a catastrophe out of the country and frankly out 553 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: of the free world, that all the candidate would have 554 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: to do a stand there and point two points to 555 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: the Biden in the catastrophe that he has created. And 556 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: when I think, look, you've got Ronda Santis, You've got 557 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: Christie Nome, You've got Tim Scott out of South Carolina, 558 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: You've got Mike Pompeo, We've got a very de bench, 559 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: a very very talented people, Ted Cruz. So I think 560 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: whether or not Trump runs, I think we are in 561 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: very good standing going into twenty twenty four. I agree 562 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: with you, Monica. We appreciate the time. Have a great weekend. 563 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: My pleasure. Thanks Clay, thank you. When you'll look back 564 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: at this year and ask yourself, what steps did you 565 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: take to protect the value of your savings account or 566 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: your IRA?

Well, you know, and I'm gonna be honest, Skill. 618 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: I always try to be honest with the people. You know, 619 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: when I first started and I didn't know what to aspect. 620 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: You know, people always tell you how terrible, how bad 621 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: it is a people going to come after you, and 622 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: after I got into all my different listening sessions and 623 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: started looking talking to the people and traveled on be honest, 624 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: this is the best thing I ever done in my 625 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: life because this is an opportunity that I can help people. 626 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: And when I've had spending much time with the military 627 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: that I've spent and been around a lot of our 628 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: law enforcement and just listening to the people, I see 629 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: that this country needs some help. You know that we're 630 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: the greatest country in the world right now, we need 631 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: some help. We need people that's going to be honest. 632 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: We need people that care about this country, need people 633 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: that care about these kids and care about law enforcement 634 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 1: and here public face it, people that's going to talk 635 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: up and tell people that you know, have faith and 636 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: because it is sad that we seem to be going 637 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: away from things that that is so free to this 638 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: country that we're trying to get away from it. Herschel, 639 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: It's interesting you're good friends with Donald Trump, and obviously 640 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not a career politician. If he hadn't 641 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: run for president and got an elected president, do you 642 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: think you would have ended up in politics. Yeah, I 643 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: still probably would have because Donald Trump had nothing to 644 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: do with me running, you know, And he talked about 645 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: me running on Fox that had nothing to do whether 646 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: I was going to run or not. You know, I 647 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: went into prayer about it, you know, and I and 648 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: I told people, I say, this is not something I 649 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: thought I'd ever do in my life. It was something 650 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: that was called upon me. And as I looked at it, 651 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: I realized that, you know, my life ain't about men, 652 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: is about helping other people. You know, if I can 653 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: say that I love the Lord Jesus, if I can 654 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: tell kids to go out and sacrifice and make good grades, 655 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: to do what you want to do, I can tell 656 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: the mildity what the military is sacrificing. Our men in 657 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: blue are sacrificing. And yet all I've done is throw 658 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: a football around. All I've done and been on a 659 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: track field or a bob sled. Those are great privileges 660 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: that I had on the backs of people that fault 661 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: to give me. These freedoms I have in this country. Well, 662 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: right now there's an opportunity where I can change some things. 663 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: I can go out and maybe be a voice to 664 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 1: let the people know that I'm behind the American people, 665 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm behind this country, this is not a terrible country. 666 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: This is not a racist country. This is not a 667 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: country that people don't want to work. People do want 668 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 1: to work. This is a country that we can come together, 669 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: that we can solve problems. We've done it time and 670 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: time again. And just because we elected some people to 671 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: Washington that doesn't seem to want to do their job, 672 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to want to believe in the constitution, 673 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: don't give up faith, don't give up because I'm gonna 674 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: get elected and I'm gonna tell them that you can 675 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: believe in those things. You can have that America's dream 676 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: that I've had. Hey man, why do you think so 677 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: many athletes and entertainers have gotten wrapped up in saying 678 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: America is an awful place? You and I obviously disagree 679 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: and think America is the greatest country that's ever existed 680 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: in the history of the world. Why do you think 681 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: it's become so trendy for athletes and entertainers to tear 682 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: down America? Well, that is very simple. Look at the 683 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: council culture we're in right now. Right now, you can't 684 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: even agree to disagree right now. If you speak out 685 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: on something, uh, you know you're gonna get chests, speedp 686 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: gonna come down on you. You'll want to. The worst 687 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: thing that happened is early on with the BLM when 688 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: they wanted to put like don't stand, do stand what 689 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: you're gonna do for the for the national anthem? And 690 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we're gonna do this here, and you 691 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: have some players on that team that didn't get divorce. 692 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: I can guarantee that some of the players on a 693 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: team that wanted to disagree, but they were not going 694 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: to speak up. They were not going to speak up 695 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: because they were to get chastised that we're gonna get 696 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: put down, and you know, and that's what's said. We 697 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: gotta get away from that. Why don't we remove this 698 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: this racism out of here, we quit talking about it 699 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: and move on, because you know, we are Americans and 700 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing this about black, white African American US. 701 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: You know, if you're living in America, why don't you 702 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: just be an American? You know? I asked my son 703 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: this the other day as a Christian, because I didn't know. 704 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: I was totally confused. What do he put down on 705 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: his sheet? And he said, Dad, I put down other 706 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: And I said, my son is not an other, He's 707 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: an American. And you know what if he's another, we 708 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of others in this country because twenty 709 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: three and me is just screwed us all up. You know, 710 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: we all have different races within us, so we all others. 711 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: So why don't we just get down to being an 712 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: American who we are, but checked in this country, but 713 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: checked in this citizen, sending our kids in school, putting 714 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: people back in the world, getting this economy down. This 715 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: an economy. This economy is blowing people out of the 716 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: roof hid in the world. Can you enjoyed Christmas when 717 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: you can't even buy gifts? The gas prices is going 718 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: up and people don't even know the reason why. Well, 719 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: the reason why what he did with the pipeline, gave 720 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: it away, that's one of the biggest reasons. So everything 721 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: now is going up. Can't people stuff on his shelves, PAMs, 722 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: can't go to the grocery store herschel You're saying a 723 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: lot of things I think people agree with out there, 724 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: And it's fun because I've been on my bus tour 725 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: all over the South meeting white, Black, Asian and Hispanic people, 726 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: and at your point, we all have a lot more 727 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: in common than we do apart, but it feels like 728 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: many people in the media are trying to tear us 729 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: apart every day. I bet on your tour around George, 730 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: as you've begun your campaign, you've found that out right, 731 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: how much more people in Georgia and around the country 732 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 1: have in common than they do apart. I've totally totally 733 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: found that out. Then, you know what's so strange about 734 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 1: it is, Yeah, I'm a big Judge Judah fan, and 735 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: she makes a statement that is so so true. She said, 736 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,919 Speaker 1: you know you got two ears and one mouth. Why 737 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: don't you close your mouth and listen? Because if we listen, 738 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: we can hear each other. But yet we want to 739 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: yell at each other and argue with each other rather 740 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: than coming up with solutions. They're not problems. You know, 741 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 1: if we start thinking about the easier thing we can 742 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: fix first, The easier things we can fix first, you 743 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: because we can get that done. Let's not try to 744 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: come onto a complicated thing. We can get the things done. 745 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: And people ask me, why do I want to run 746 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: for office? The reason I want to run is I 747 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: love America. The reason I want to run and I 748 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: love it. I love this I love the Constitution. You know, 749 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: I want to run because of that. I love this 750 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: country I live in. I'm not an African American. I've 751 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 1: never been to Africa, and I'm sorry to say that. 752 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm an American. I'm an American. I live in America, 753 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: and I got an American sign, got American wife, and 754 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm an American. So let's get back to being that 755 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: and solving the problems we have here and and get 756 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: out of all this stuff we can have. Right now, 757 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: going home, we're talking to Herschel Walker. All right, one 758 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: of the things that's going on. I'm gonna hop in 759 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: my car and drive down to Atlanta as soon as 760 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: I'm finished with the show here today, Herschel your Bulldogs 761 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: are playing against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday tomorrow 762 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:10,479 Speaker 1: in the Georgia Dome Big Time SEC Championship Game. What happens, Well, 763 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great game. I said, I think 764 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: Georgia is gonna win this game. And then I'm gontaee 765 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: you the reason why. I don't think this team is 766 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: intimidated by Alabama. But I think if people need to 767 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: realize Alabama is a great team. Coach Savan always always 768 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: put a great team out on the field, and we 769 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: can't look at it how Alabama has played in the past. 770 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: You know, you saw him player against all rend and 771 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: so it was a close game, but they poured it out. 772 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: Was a closed game, but they won it. Guys, Alabama 773 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: has got a great, great program. But I think Georgia 774 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 1: right now is playing at the top of the game 775 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: and there. But one of the things George got to realize, 776 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: this is the beginning of that season right here. You 777 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 1: gotta go out and beat Alabama. Don't worry bout anything 778 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: else because Alabama is a tough, tough ball game. But 779 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 1: Georgia got the team to beat it. I think coach 780 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: Smart has done an incredible, incredible job. They get those 781 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 1: guys prepared. But those guy it is coming to play. 782 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: You see that they're having fun. I think that's one 783 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: of the biggest keys. You go out there and you 784 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: have fun. Because if that defense get want to go 785 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: out and have fun, they're gonna play foot They're gonna 786 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: play football, and I think the same thing gonna have 787 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: the win to the offense. You see the defense having fun, 788 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: Now you want to go out and have fun. And 789 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: this is like playing at home. You know, Athens is 790 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: what seventy miles away from Atlanta, so it's like playing 791 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: at home. You know, it's gonna be an incredible game. 792 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 1: Whoever can buy a ticket. I can sit on television 793 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: and I'm not putting any other team down, but I 794 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,880 Speaker 1: think you're watching the two best college football team play 795 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: this coming Saturday. It's been forty one year since you 796 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: won a national championship with Georgia in nineteen eighty, Herschel. 797 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: Would you have ever believed it would be two generations 798 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: before Georgia potentially would win another one when you won 799 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: it back in nineteen eighty, I wouldn't never thought that, 800 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 1: you know, you know, they've come so closed, and I 801 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: think this is a year that they can close or 802 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: do and make that happened. You know, you know, I 803 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: never thought I can never win a championship. And I 804 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: have an opportunity last night to be the coach Doody, 805 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 1: and I'm reminded him of something he said to us 806 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of that training camp. He said, men, 807 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: we come together, we go out, and we stay together, 808 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: we fight together. We can win a championship. And I 809 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: think I can see that what Coach Smart has this 810 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,439 Speaker 1: team doing is playing together. That there's not one hero 811 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: on that team. They're all heroes. And and that's where 812 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,439 Speaker 1: I felt that we had at Georgia, and I see 813 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 1: that in this team. And one thing I said early on, 814 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: and people would say, oh, geez, don't say that, as 815 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: I think this team here is better. I think this 816 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: team is better than the team I played on. I'm 817 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: not putting that team I played on down because the 818 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: team I played on was incredible. But I think this 819 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,320 Speaker 1: team here got the potential to do some incredible things 820 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: and they're showing it. I don't feel that's showing what 821 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 1: they can do. And you know, I threw Jordan David's 822 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: name in the Heiser Trophy and I said, guys, who 823 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,760 Speaker 1: is not a more colorful guy playing on that defense 824 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: than Jordan Davis's incredible. What you're seeing play, you're seeing run. 825 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. And I'm not putting in a 826 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: hypen other hyping candidate down, but why Jordan David's name 827 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: out not on that list? Oh it's well sad. By 828 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 1: the way, we're having some fun on Friday. I understand 829 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 1: that your Golden Retriever has a Twitter handle. How is 830 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: he being received at Cheerio Walker?
