1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Welcome in the final show of the year for Buck

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: and myself. Buck is out already getting ready for Christmas.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: I know many of you are out and about because

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: two of my three kids are done with school and

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: the third may be coming home right now from finishing

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: his last exam, and it is bonkers everywhere with all

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the kids out and all the holiday festivity underway. We

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: hope all of you are having a very merry Christmas.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: There are going to be more shows, We will have

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: guest hosts. We've got a special Christmas Eve edition for

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: all of you that no one has heard at all,

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: and we have a bunch of best of Yes, there

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: are actually best of versions of this show. But I

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: want to start off by saying thank you, thank you,

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: thank you for making twenty four, twenty twenty four, I think,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: one of the best years in our nation's history and

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: culminating it by giving Donald Trump a landslide victory. And

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: I know I speak for both Buck and myself when

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: I say it has been an incredible privilege to get

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: to spend twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three,

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: and now twenty twenty four with all of you, and

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: I think this audience made a tremendous difference when it

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: came to the twenty twenty four presidential election. So I

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: want to start off today's show by saying thank you.

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: We lectured a lot about the importance of getting out

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: and voting, and you guys responded in a monumental fashion

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: this year, and it has been such an incredibly fun

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: journey with all of you, and I can't wait for

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five because I think we're gonna have a

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I think we're going to have a

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of winning going on in this country, but today's show,

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: we're going to have a lot of fun. But also

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: I just want all of you to understand our profound

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: gratitude that we get to talk to you, the largest

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: radio audience in the country, and I know a lot

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: of you are listening to this on podcasts, so we

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: appreciate all of you and YouTube and however you find

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: this show. We say thanks to you. So let's talk

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: about some of the fun. I want to give you

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: a roadmap of where we're going. By the way, I'm

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: not diving in to will there be a shutdown or

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: won't there be a shutdown? I feel like we have

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: gone through this so many times. Eventually they're going to

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: sign off on the budget. They're going to spend too

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: much money, and we're going to come back in in

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and they're probably going to do the

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: same thing again. So spoiler alert, there is going to

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: be no profound victory in this dispute. We're still going

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: to spend way too much money and we're going to

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: be two trillion dollars in debt in this year's budget

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: and next year's budget, and most people have decided that

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: deficits don't matter, and there seems to be no imperative

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: or interest to try to solve them. But I'm not

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: going to be the Grinch today, gonna be Ba hug Bug.

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be Ebeneezer Scrooge. I'm gonna have some

56
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: fun with all of you. So let me give you

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: a roadmap of where we're gonna go. Uh start off

58
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: the show today. I want the worst takes that you

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: heard in twenty twenty four. If you follow me on

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: social media, you know that I have shared my two already.

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: You can find me at Clay Travis. I'm going to

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: play them for all of you and It's not just

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: that they're the worst takes of twenty twenty four in

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: my opinion, But I want to hear all of yours

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred two eight two two eight a two Did

66
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: I get that right? Already screwed up the phone number,

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: But I want to hear from all of you what

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: you think the worst takes are. We're going to play

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: these for you. Then I'm gonna talk to you about

70
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: with Biden coming to a close in his tenure, mercifully,

71
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: where does his presidency rank? And how would I rank

72
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the residents that have existed for my lifetime? So I'm young,

73
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: but I'm going to give you the opportunity to weigh

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: in as well. An hour two and then you guys

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: know I was in Israel last week. I want to

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: end with an inspiring idea and a series of thoughts.

77
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm working right now on a long form piece about

78
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: my trip to Israel. There's so many details to get right,

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: there's so many aspects to it. I'm gonna hopefully get

80
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: it up on OutKick on Monday. I know that a

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of you Israel is on your bucket list. Jerusalem.

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: You would love to go visit my grandparents, my mom's

83
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: parents were super, super religious, and on their bucket list

84
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: was to go to Jerusalem. They went in their retirement.

85
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: I know many of you would like to go as well.

86
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: I feel incredibly fortunate that I got to take that trip.

87
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to share with you what I

88
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: learned and why I think is matters so much as

89
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: it pertains to what's going on in the United States.

90
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to make that case for you.

91
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

92
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: And of course we will be taking a variety of

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: calls throughout the course of the program as well. Eight

94
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: hundred and two two two eight eight two. Okay, worst

95
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: takes of twenty twenty four. I said yesterday that I

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: don't think Buck and I had any truly awful takes,

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: meaning things that when you go back and everything's on

98
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: transcript and you listen to it, you think, oh, my goodness,

99
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you guys are complete morons. That could happen? I do.

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I love the sports gamble. Anybody who has ever bet

101
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: on a sporting event, you look like a moron basically

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: half the time, because you look at the game, you

103
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: analyze it, you consider what you think is going to happen,

104
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: and then you put your wager down, and then it

105
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: might blow up completely in your face. And even if

106
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: you're the greatest gambler of all time, you only win

107
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: about fifty five percent of the time. Otherwise you're biff

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: in back to the future too, and you end up

109
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: the richest human who's ever existed. So most sports gamblers

110
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: lose money. The greatest ever win fifty five percent of

111
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: the time. That means they lose forty five percent of

112
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: the time. That's the reality. Okay, So I'm open to

113
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the idea some of you may have awful, big time

114
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: lunatic predictions that you remember from this program that we

115
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: got wrong. I don't think we had any We've gotten

116
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: things wrong before, as anybody who makes predictions does. But

117
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: I think we almost nailed between the two of us

118
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: everything all year long that was likely to happen. We

119
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: got all the Trump law fair correct, We got the

120
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: election correct. I was right at least one of the

121
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: two of us was got a great stake for it

122
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 1: about whether or not Biden would be the nominee. Buck

123
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: got right that jd Vance would be the VP pick

124
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: when nobody was talking about jdvs as the VP pick.

125
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: So I think if you go back and assess this

126
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: show overall, you would have to say we got a

127
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: lot right. But open phone lines if you can think

128
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: of something that we got completely wrong. That is not

129
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: an opinion, you know, a prediction. For instance, some of

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you like to play flutes. The flute I think is

131
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: not an instrument that anybody should play. Don't think men

132
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: look particularly masculine play in the flute. That's my opinion.

133
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm right, and if you disagree, you're wrong. But that's

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: not exactly what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about

135
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: something we told you that we just completely whipped on.

136
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: Like.

137
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example from a couple of years ago.

138
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I thought that to twenty twenty two elections we would

139
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: have a red tsunami. I thought that herschel Walker would win.

140
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I thought that Doctor Oz would win. I thought that

141
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: Carrie Lake would win. I was wrong on all those elections.

142
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four we finally got our red wave, our

143
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: red tsunami. But twenty twenty two, I think it got

144
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: delayed by the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision, and Democrats were

145
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of it. That would be my

146
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: thesis for how to shake out So if we've been

147
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: doing the show. At the end of twenty twenty two,

148
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: you certainly could have been like, hey, Clay, you totally

149
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: whiffed on that one. That was correct. But twenty twenty four,

150
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: I think we got almost everything right. You know who

151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: did not get almost everything right? Morning, Joe Joe Scarborough.

152
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 1: Well let's save that one. That is my number one

153
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: overall biggest whiff from any media member in twenty twenty four.

154
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: But let's go first to Nicole Wallace. This is my

155
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: running up the near champion. Joe Scarborough just barely edged

156
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: out Nicole Wallace, both MSNBC prognosticators. In June of twenty

157
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty four, after all these videos of Joe Biden clearly

158
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: being mentally and physically unable to do the job, we're

159
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: going viral all over the internet. Do you remember what

160
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: the decision was, what the talking points were back in

161
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: June of twenty twenty four before the presidential debate between

162
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: Biden and Trump on June twenty seventh, If you recall,

163
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: the debate was were they or were they not? Cheap fakes?

164
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they made up that phrase, They

165
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: said that the videos of Biden looking unable to do

166
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: the job, were cheap fakes. One of the foremost proponents

167
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre, but she is at least a professional liar.

168
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: That's her job. To a certain extent, here was Nicole Wallace,

169
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: who likes to think she's smarter than everybody else in

170
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: the media, saying, you're being lied to the Klay Traviss,

171
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: the buck Sextons of the world, the ones telling you

172
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: that Joe doesn't have the mental or physical capacity to

173
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: be president and the videos they're sharing, those are cheap fakes.

174
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: Listen, there's a growing and insidious trend in right wing

175
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: media broadcasts, print and social media. It is to take

176
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 4: highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly

177
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: from Republican National Committee social media accounts, and then use

178
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: those videos to spread messages virally to cast out on

179
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: President Biden's fitness for office. Both the articles are based

180
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: on cheap fakes, videos of real events that are intentionally

181
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 4: manipulated to fool viewers, released on an R and C

182
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: opposition Research social media account. Is zero independent fact checking

183
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: by these so called journalists and spread throughout the right

184
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: wing ecosystem.

185
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Okay, they really tried to tell all of us that

186
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: they were cheap fakes, and that we were lying to

187
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: you with the stories that we were telling about Joe

188
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Biden not being mentally or physically up to the job. Guys, gals,

189
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 1: this is the biggest lie of the twenty first century.

190
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: I really do believe that Joe Biden was mentally and

191
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: physically capable of being president for the last couple of years.

192
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: That he was able was a lie, and it was

193
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: dangerous for our country. But to argue that he could

194
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: be president for four more years, that that man, I'm

195
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: not even sure he's going to be alive, That that

196
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: man should be raising his right hand on January twentieth,

197
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and be president until January of twenty

198
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine. They tried to make that argument to you,

199
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: and they tried to lecture all of us who were saying,

200
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: this is dangerous. We need to be careful here. This

201
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: guy doesn't have the mental and physical capacity to be president.

202
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: They went on MSNBC June of twenty twenty four and

203
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: tried to argue that the videos we were all seeing,

204
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: that they were actually cheap fakes, even though they were

205
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: from legitimate White House press events. They were arguing they

206
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: weren't real. Okay. That is my run up nominee for

207
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the absolute worst most dishonest take of twenty twenty four.

208
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: The winner's going to be Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe

209
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: Buck's Favorite show. I will play it for you when

210

Speaker 5: with yet start of twenty twenty five.

241
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: But we are talking worst takes of twenty twenty four

242
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: right now, and there are a lot of amazing emails

243
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: rolling in and I will read some of those going forward.

244
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: I also told the crew, and let me say this too.

245
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: By the way, we have got a really hard working staff,

246
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Producer. Ali is absolutely fantastic. She was

247
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: on the road with me in Israel. She's been with

248
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Rush prior to us taking over back in twenty twenty one,

249
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: for twenty years. I don't know if she's listening to

250
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: me right now or fielding calls. Ali. Are you sleeping yet,

251
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: because we had some tough jet lag over the return.

252
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Have you gotten back to normal sleeping schedule yet.

253
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 6: Well, it's been about a week now, Clay, and I

254
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 6: got to say, the old we get, the longer the lag.

255
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Yes, it does take longer. I think that's for sure.

256
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Was there anything that you saw let me bring in

257
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: the crew here, anything that you guys saw before I

258
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: play Scarborough at the bottom of the hour, which what

259
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I think is the least honest, the most dishonest, would

260
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: be another way of saying that. Take of the entirety

261
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, any nominees that you guys would have.

262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 6: Greg is running in here right now.

263
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 7: Greg.

264
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: Hey, Clay, Yeah, I think thank you for all the work.

265
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: By the way, all you guys and everybody that's been

266
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: busting their ass on the show this year, we really

267
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: do appreciate it.

268
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Well.

269
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 6: Thanks, no, no, it's our pleasure to be here and

270
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 6: do it for everybody listening. And you guys, the only

271
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 6: thing that I saw that possibly comes close is Katie

272
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: Porter talking about the Lake and Riley murder. And she

273
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 6: wasn't outraged by it at all, and she's you know,

274
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 6: she was saying that we shouldn't change our policy on

275
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 6: the border based on one event like Lake and Riley.

276
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: And that's just how out of touch can you possibly

277
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: be to have something like that.

278
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a good one too, because it wasn't

279
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: an outlier. It's actually important what you said, because so

280
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: often on social media, one thing can be found and

281
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: it can be used people overwhelmingly agree, Oh, you know what,

282
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: this is bad. I'll give you an example. George Floyd.

283
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: The George Floyd video was awful to watch. Now. I

284
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: actually think Michael Chauvin, they're talking about whether or not

285
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to test the heart. Did

286
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: Michael Chauvin, the Derek Chauvin, sorry, the cop there, was

287
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: he actually responsible for the death of George Floyd. I

288
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: think there is a reasonable doubt as to whether or

289
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: not he was. But the idea that that represented how

290
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: all white cops interact with black potential suspects was flagrantly untrue.

291
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: It was not representative at all, which is what made

292
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: it a story. Lake and Riley is actually incredibly representative

293
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: of many different innocent people out there that are dealing

294
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: with acts of violence perpetrated by people who should have

295
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: never been legally in this country. And so as you

296
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: look at anecdotes, and we live in an anecdote driven era,

297
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: you have to be careful about whether or not the

298
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: anecdote is representative of a larger issue or actually just

299
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: a complete and total outlier and not in any way

300
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: reflective of what general normal interactions are. Like George Floyd,

301
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I would argue, is a complete and total outlier that

302
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: was used as evidence of why all cops are racist

303
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: and why we need to defund the police, and what

304
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: I think is one of the most destructive arguments of

305
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: all time. Lake and Riley, there's a Lake and Riley

306
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: in every one of your see in every one of

307
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: your cities. She's representative of something that's happening all too often.

308
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I want to tell you a lot of you probably

309
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: dragging here on this Friday. Maybe you've been dealing with

310
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: Christmas parties, Maybe you got the kids or the grandkids, traveling,

311
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,359

325
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: We're having some fun talking about the worst takes of

326
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I'm going to get to some of

327
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: your calls here in a moment, because some of you do,

328
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: in fact have bad calls. You think that Buck or

329
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: myself made eight hundred and two two eight a two.

330
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: But my take for the single worst opinion that was

331
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: shared in twenty twenty four, Joe Scarborough on Buck's Favorite

332
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Morning Joe program said, in March of twenty twenty four, FU,

333
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: if you don't see this is the best version of

334
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: Biden there has ever been. This is real. It is

335
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: not unfortunately spectacular.

336
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 8: Listen tape right now, because I'm about to tell you

337
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 8: the truth and f you if you can't handle the truth.

338
00:19:52,840 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 8: This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,

339
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 8: not a close second.

340
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: And I've known him for years. The Prazenskis have known

341
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: him for fifty years. If it weren't the truth, I

342
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it. That's the worst take of twenty twenty four.

343
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Whatever you think of Joe Biden, the idea that in

344
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty four he was the best intellectual

345
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and analytical version of himself that he had ever been

346
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: is such an unbelievable lie that to be willing to

347
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: say it is evidence of your complicity in spreading absolute

348
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: and total propaganda. There's no way to defend that if

349
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: you consume that product, when you know that the people

350
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: that you trust to bring you the news are lying

351
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: to you, you can no longer trust them anymore. And

352
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: I think that's really what's happening with MSNBC and CNN's

353
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: audience overnight vanishing. This audience keeps growing in really pretty

354
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: massive numbers, and I think it's because over time, you

355
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: weigh whether you can trust people or not. In other words,

356
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: and when I sit down in front of this mic,

357
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: am I an actor? Am I a propagandist? Am I

358
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: someone who is trying to sell you something that they

359
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: don't believe at all? You can't fake radio. I don't

360
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: really think you can. People say, hey, what's the difference

361
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: between TV radio TV? I think there are good actors

362
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: and they can fake it on some level. You put

363
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: on makeup, you put on dress up clothes, you sit

364
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: down and read off glass in front of you. It's

365
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: a very cosmetic thing. Now you are watching the video

366
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: version of me right now, but you can see I'm

367
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: in a T shirt. I certainly don't have makeup on.

368
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm not even particularly bathed in good lighting, and I'm

369
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: sitting in an old red chair that my family has

370
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: had for twenty years. This is not something where people

371
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: look at a think, boy, you know, that Klay Travis.

372
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: He looks compelling. He's a dashingly handsome man on this

373
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: video version. I sit down in front of the mic

374
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: and I tell you every day exactly what I think.

375
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: My wife says, the reason that I have never needed

376
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: therapy is because I've gotten to do radio for the

377
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: last twenty years, and whatever opinions I have, I tell

378
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: you in the mic, and when I'm done, I've got

379
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: no weight on my shoulders. I feel light as a feather.

380
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: I got to say exactly what I think. And trust me,

381
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: I know that's a privilege, because you know what. The

382
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: number one thing I hear from you guys out and

383
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: about is you say what I wish I could say.

384
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's the number one thing you guys tell

385
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: me when I see you out and about who listen

386
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: to the program. And I don't take that for granted,

387
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: because trust me, I know what it feels like to

388
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: have to grin and bear it inside of a company

389
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: working for people you may not be that impressed by,

390
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: because you got to make sure that you pay that mortgage,

391
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: because you've got to make sure that you are doing

392
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: whatever you can to help your kids get into the

393
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: right school to be able to pay for it. Heck,

394
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: to put Christmas presents under the tree right now. That

395
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: is the ultimate loyalty. That's the ultimate duty that many

396
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: of you feel for your kids or your grandkids to

397
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: try to make their lives a little bit better. So

398
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact

399
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: that I get to speak for so many of you

400
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: who don't feel like you are able to say what

401
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: you really think. And I think that's a huge part

402
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: of why Donald Trump won because we live in such

403
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a fundamentally dishonest place. But you know, Warren Buffett, Warren

404
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: Buffett said investing ultimately comes down to weighing the value

405
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: of a company, and he said, if you really look

406
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: at the stock market over time, I love this analogy.

407
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: He said, it's really just a weighing mechanism. You can

408
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: fake things for a little while, but eventually the value

409
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: of a company is realized over time. And I think

410
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: that's true of people who do what we do for

411
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: a living too. All of you every day are busy

412
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: and you are weighing. Hey, can I trust that person not?

413
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: Do I agree with that person all the time? Because

414
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: my argument is you should never agree with anybody all

415
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: the time. You should even question your own opinions. If

416
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: you're being honest with yourself every single day, you should

417
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: be willing to consider new data. You should welcome the

418
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: idea that you might be wrong, because that will lead

419
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: to you having stronger opinions instead of just making a

420
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: decision and deciding no matter what the evidence shows that

421
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: you're going to stick to it. That's my advice for

422
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: all of you. Because there's so much news every day,

423
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: there's so much data, you need to constantly be challenging yourself.

424
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: But Joe Scarborough in that take the best intellectually, the

425
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: best analytical version of Biden. It's so dishonest. I don't

426
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: even know even if you were a left wing zelot,

427
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: how could you hear that? Watch Biden in the debate

428
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: on June twenty seventh, and ever trust Joe Scarborough again.

429
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: Remember he didn't just say, Hey, I'm making this opinion

430
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: from a distance. He said his wife Mika has known

431
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: Biden for fifty years. He said he himself has known

432
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: Biden for a long time too. He's telling you I

433
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: know and see things that you do not, and he

434
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: is still telling you that the best intellectual and analytical

435
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: version of Biden is the one that's going on right now. Now.

436
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: You saw how quickly everybody abandoned both the Nicole Wallace

437
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: take and the Joe Scarborough case as soon as they

438
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: had the June twenty seventh debate. But make no mistake

439
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: about what was going on there. They would have gone

440
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: to the mat for Joe Biden and argued that for

441
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: their audience all the way through the election, just like

442
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: they tried to tell you. As soon as Biden dropped out,

443
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: they pivoted, and Kamala Harris was no longer the least

444
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: popular vice presidential candidate of all time. She was a

445
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: sterling representative of the Democrat Party who could not have

446
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: done a better job. Heck, Joey Reid said, Kamala Harris

447
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: ran a flawless campaign. She said that on election night,

448
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: after everybody recognized that Kamala was going to lose. These

449
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: people lied to you, and they lied to you in

450
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: so many direct ways that it's impossible to ignore. And

451
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: I think ultimately that's why their audience is collapsing, because

452
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, if they would tell you that Biden was

453
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: the best version of himself and that videos you saw

454
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: that question that were cheap fakes. You can't trust them

455
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: on anything. And ultimately, I tell my team all the time,

456
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: what I have found that works is smart, original, funny,

457
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: and authentic. SOFA smart, original, funny, and authentic. If you

458
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: got kids or grandkids that want to get into media,

459
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: those are the four hallmarks. Not everybody can do all four,

460
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: but you got to make at least one of those smart, original, funny,

461
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: or authentic your basis for your career. You can do

462
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: all four, Congratulations, you're going to be super rich because

463
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: if you can replicate that and keep doing it over

464
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: and over against very rare. But you got to have

465
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: all four of those. And I think what you're seeing

466
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: is at places like CNN, at places like MSNBC, they're propagandists.

467
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: They're willing to get talking points and just go out

468
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: and say them, even if there's no basis in reality

469
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,400

503
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: a way in, I was telling you what I think

504
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: the two worst takes that I saw, and they were connected,

505
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: both having to do with the why that Biden was

506
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: physically and mentally capable to be president of the United

507
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: States Nicole Wallace on MSNBC and Joe Scarborough on MSNBC,

508
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: And I said, hey, you have an opportunity to tell

509
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: us did we get anything wrong? In a big way?

00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: got for.

513
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: Us, Gray Clay. Great to talk to you. A beautiful

514
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: day down here in South Texas. Taking out a little

515
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: time from butchering the deer. Heard your show, listened to

516
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: it most every day, love it, And I said, I've

517
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: got a little bit different spin.

518
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: On this scar By the way, how big is the deer?

519
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: Nice point? Nice ten points?

520
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, well done.

521
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Country always produces. So got it right here on my

522
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: family farm two hundred and six acres.

523
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Well, congrats to you and enjoy the east.

524
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: Thanks a bunch a beautiful day. But no, my spent

525
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: on this Scarborough take is he did get it right.

526
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: Not for the.

527
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: Analytical and intellectual reasons, but in general. This was unfortunately

528
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 2: the best Biden ever because if you look at the

529
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: prior versions of Biden, Ashley Biden says, oh, he showered

530
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: with me inappropriate, gave rise to the belief I was molested.

531
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: All that stuff that's in her diary. Later it's Tara reed,

532
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: look what she alleged Biden raped me. Later he's hooking

533
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: up with the Grand Dragon, passing bad legislation. Then he's

534
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: said even later he's influenced peddling, setting up the scheme

535
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: to make his family millions. Selling out our secrets is

536
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: selling out to the Chinese the way senile, you know,

537
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: totally decrepit, barely able to walk. Biden, he sleeps all

538
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: but six hours a day. His unfortunately, the best version

539
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: because he's doing the least amount of damage compared to

540
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: all the earlier versions of Biden.

541
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. That's a heck of an angle. Yeah,

542
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: Biden being senile and dementia riddled is actually the best

543
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: version of Biden because he can do the least damage

544
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: the problem. And that's a very funny take. Good luck

545
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: with that, dear. The problem is Joe Scarborough said that

546
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: intellectually and analytically, this was the best version of Biden. Now,

547
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what age your mental and physical

548
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: capacities peak. I don't think very many people would argue

549
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: it's eighty. Maybe it's fifty, Maybe it's forty, maybe it's

550
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: thirty five. I don't know the exact agent. Oh athletes

551
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: usually peak around twenty seven twenty eight in terms of

552
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: just raw physical ability raw mental ability. I think there's

553
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: a study out. I was reading the Wall Street Journal.

554
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: It's said that for most people, the best peak mental

555
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: performance is fifty seven years old. When it comes to

556
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: decision made again, for most people, they said, and it

557
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: was why is that they said at fifty seven, you've

558
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: got enough wisdom, That is, you've lived enough life to

559
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: have learned from your life experiences, but you haven't lived

560
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: so long that your mental faculties have begun to decline. Now,

561
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: I think everybody's different. I mentioned Warren Buffett earlier. He's

562
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: in his nineties still making incredibly elite decisions. Trump is

563
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: going to be in his eighties and be president. Still

564
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: seems incredibly sharp to me compared to Biden. So everybody's different.

565
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: But that article I thought was somewhat interesting, saying fifty

566
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: seven is when decision making peaks for most people on average,

567
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: based on life experience. Been in Junction City, Ohio. What

568
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: you got for us? Ben?

569
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 9: On the things we got wrong this past year? One

570
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 9: of you two was saying the same things I was saying,

571
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 9: And my twenty year old son said, I was in

572
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 9: mister politics. My son, he said I was an idiot,

573
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 9: and that that come January we were going to be

574
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 9: swearing in Madame Michelle Obama that she was going to

575
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 9: be Biden's replacement on the ticket.

576
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: Well, I said, I thought they would thank you for

577
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the call. You're right, I said, I thought Biden would

578
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: be gone. But I thought they would go Michelle Obama,

579
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: and my thesis on that I think is actually sound,

580
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: because I didn't see any way they could get past

581
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris being a black woman without being called racist

582
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: and sexist unless they got another black woman, and they

583
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: got one that was actually much more liked than Kamala Harris.

584
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: And I do wonder if Biden had dropped out earlier,

585
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: which he should have done, and they had had a

586
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: mini primary, what that would have looked like, because I

587
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: think they would have ended up with a better candidate

588
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: than Kamala Harris. But I thought the only way they

589
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: could get past Kamala was by going with another black woman,

590
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: because otherwise, by identity politics standards of the of the Democrat,

591
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: it would be almost impossible. Is Laurie and Ohio still there, Laurie,

592
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: what you got for us? Good afternoon, Clay.

593
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to speak with you. Hey, I wanted

594
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 3: to chat a little bit about the whole Joe Scarborough

595
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: take on Biden's being the best intellectual and analytical self.

596
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: Looking at that a little bit differently, A lot of

597
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 3: things that we hear people say that don't sound that

598
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 3: that sounds absolutely crazy. There's a ounce of truth to it.

599
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 3: So I wonder if Morning Joe wasn't perhaps a little

600
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: more sincere than we give him credit for. We haven't

601
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: heard President Biden in his gas machine about racial jungles

602
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: and slight Indian accents lately, and perhaps that might be

603
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: something that Joe was referring to.

604
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. I mean, thank you for the call. Now,

605
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: I would argue that, first of all, Biden is still

606
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: a gas machine, and there were actually a lot of them.

607
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: The media just covered them up. But that's one reason.

608
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: If you read the Wall Street Journal, they said that

609
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: they limited Biden's interaction because they were aware of how

610
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: bad he was, and they were trying to limit the

611
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: viral moments that might happen. Ken in Raleigh, North Carolina.

612
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 7: You're a flute player, Yes, Clay, I'm a first from

613
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 7: the first listener to the Clay and Buck Show, agree

614
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 7: with you ninety something percent of the time. But I

615
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 7: got to take keep the task for dissing on us

616
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 7: male flute players.

617
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: You think flute players are badasses, You get all the women.

618
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 10: Look look uh. When I was in middle school, I

619
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 10: went to go to the band to figure out a

620
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 10: instrument to play. The only section was all female was

621
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 10: the flute section, so it was a natural choice.

Speaker 1: So you thank you for TheCall. That's the best defense

623
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,240

624
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: are playing it. I'm going where the chicks are. Appreciate

625
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: y'all be back second hour next
