00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis Buck

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We're gonna take you right into the weekend

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: and hope you are all having fabulous Fridays so far.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: I know I am because Hunter Biden maybe soon to

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: face federal charges. That news coming down yesterday right as

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: we finished the show, Blake Masters delivers and absolute pummeling

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: of Mark Kelly in their only Arizona Senate debate last night.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Will it make the Difference? We got a video of

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, who is a star basketball player for the

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, absolutely knocking out Jordan Poole, who is

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: a young star on the Golden State Warriors. And Buck

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: even has some strong opinions on this. The video up

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: from TMZ I was just looking Buck online already has

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: over ten million views. It's a practice video. We'll talk

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: about that at some point, and also we'll continue to

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: update you on the Senate race in general. The gloves

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: are off in Georgia. They have decided in the Walker

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: campaign that if they're going to go into the gutter

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: after Herschel Walker, well Herschel Walker is going to drag

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Reverend Rafael war knocked down with him there, and they

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: are going to engage in a nasty battle over the

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: next thirty two days to maybe decide who is going

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to be representing the Senate. Biden buck says that we're

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: closest to nuclear war as we've been since nineteen sixty two.

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: All of this I said that on Monday. By the way, Yeah,

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: like this is that this is true? Yeah? Unfortunately, remember

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: when they said that they were going to restore normalcy

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: to the White House and he was the and I'm

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: quoting here safe choice. Well that's quickly turned into restore normalcy.

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: It's just nineteen seventy eight, seventy nine, and we're an

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: even greater thread of nuclear annihilation. But other than that,

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: other than that, everything's good. I had a couple of

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: friends last night. I was watching the Thursday night football

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: game between the Broncos and the Colts, and one of

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: my buddies texted me and said, I hope this is

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: not the final football game that I'm ever gonna watch.

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: And neither team scored a touchdown. Bucket was a detrocious

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: display of NFL magic. And and anyway that was widely

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: agreed upon last night. But let's talk about our boy, Hunter. Well,

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about Hunter Biden. I can't believe how rapidly

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: this story spread, Buck, I couldn't get enough of it

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: last night. So for those of you out there who

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: have not paid a lot of attention or have not

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: heard a great deal about this story, yesterday, about time

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: we were finishing the program, the Washington Post came out

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: with a story saying that federal agents have notified the

48
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, the guys who were involved in this investigation,

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: that they have plenty of evidence to charge Hunter Biden

50
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: with a minimum felonies related to tax evasion and also

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: felonies related to lying on a application to purchase a weapon.

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: There are certainly many other felonies, as you and I

53
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: have talked about, and many of our audience out there

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: has known about. But I will say this, Buck, MSNBC

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: covered this, NBC News, CBS News, they all treated it

56
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: as a very serious story. MSNBC, I legitimately wondered because

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: their audience has been told for two years that this

58
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: is all Russian disinformation and there's nothing to it, and

59
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a huge percentage of their audience believes it. How jarring

60
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: it must have been to suddenly have a report about

61
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden committing felonies? What happens now? Buck, Like you've

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: seen all this coverage if you could. You know how

63
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're playing blackjack out at the casino, when

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the dealer is showing an ace, he asks you if

65
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: you want to surrender your best This is like me

66
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: showing an ace. Right, settled down, settled down, this is

67
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: this is getting a little getting a little ahead of

68
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: yourself on this one. I would say this in terms

69
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: of the betting reality here, and everyone knows that I.

70
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: Our bet in about January of this year was that

71
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: I didn't believe that they would bring federal criminal charges

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: against Hunter Biden with the possibility of actual prison time.

73
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I said, they may give him a pay a fine

74
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, but federal criminal charges this year. I still

75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: think that's a good bet for this year. A few

76
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago, as we were just before this story broke,

77
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: you offered me a double or nothing on extending it

78
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: into next year. Because my concern was, I don't I

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: was worried they may not bring the charge before the

80
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: end of so I will say I still feel good

81
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: about my bet. But would I double or nothing right

82
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: now for for next year? Um? Based upon this news story,

83
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: I I would back away from that one, meaning I

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: think that you know, it's unlikely it's going to happen

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: this year. And this goes to the politics at all. Friends,

86
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: It's not just about Clay and I having fun over

87
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: a stake bed the Biden administration. Is it something that

88
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats and when I say the Democrats, I mean

89
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the media, I mean their allies, I mean all of it.

90
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: Will they circle the wagons the way? Look what they

91
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: did for Hillary in twenty sixteen. Hillary flagrantly violated the law,

92
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: but Hillary was their gal. It didn't matter, you know,

93
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: it didn't matter what she did, it didn't matter what

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: she said, and all the ways that they abused a

95
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: system to make sure that she was the candidate. Now

96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: she's still lost, thank you, Donald Trump. The big question

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: is are they actually going to use this And we've

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: talked about this all along as the means to push

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: out Joe Biden, essentially because here's what I think. I

100
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: think Joe Biden is both such an egomaniac and so

101
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: dumb that he doesn't really yeah bad combo. He doesn't

102
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: really care about what's best for anything other than the

103
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: greatness of Joe Biden. He doesn't care about the country.

104
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't care about what it will mean, even for

105
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: his party. That's why I'm so confident he will run again,

106
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: which another another bet that we have that he will run.

107
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Will he make it to the end of that run.

108
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Will he be the guy who actually wins? I can't

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: say that. Will he announce that he is running for

110
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: president again? Formally? I believe he will. However, the Hunter issue,

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: I think becomes the leverage that the party has in

112
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: the background. This is the leverage the party has to

113
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: say to Joe, look, you can decide that for health reasons,

114
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: which is entirely plausible. I mean, the health reasons have

115
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: existed from day one of his presidency. He's too old

116
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: and not and cognitively impaired. You step aside and we

117
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: go easy on the Hunter thing. That's one very The

118
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: other variation Clay is the machine, the Democrat machine, which

119
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: is absolutely ruthless, brings the charges against Hunter and then

120
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: goes to Biden and says, you're gonna have to pardon

121
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: your son. We all know that, but you're politically no

122
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: longer viable, So now it's stepped down time. That's the

123
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: more sort of brass knuckles approach. Either of those seem

124
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: possible to me, which is why the lip media is

125
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: all over this story. So a couple of things here,

126
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: building on this one. I have seen a lot of

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: people suddenly come around. Remember when I was on an

128
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: island saying that that I believed Hunter Biden was going

129
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: to get charges because it would allow for Merrick Garland

130
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: to bring charges against Trump because then he can say

131
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: this is not politically motivated. Whether you're the son of

132
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: the president or the former president, if you break the law,

133
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: you're not above the law. I still think that's the

134
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: most likely outcome here, and I now am seeing for

135
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: the first I was on an island for like the

136
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: last six months making that argument or whatever it was,

137
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: and now I'm starting to see it, Like I saw

138
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz go on Fox News and say it. I'm

139
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: starting to see other people buy in there because they're

140
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: trying to get into Merrick Garland's head, which is the

141
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: way that I was arguing that he was going to

142
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: justify this. Well, I think the decision, by the way

143
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: to the closer they get to prosecuting Trump the worst

144
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: it is for the worst it is from that, because

145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: then it's hard to argue that you can charge Trump

146
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: without charging a hunter. And then as for the actual

147
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: charges here, as they've been laid out there, it's really

148
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: two things, tax evasion and this misstatement for buying a

149
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: hand First of all, what when you see the photos

150
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: the naked water slides, the dancing around and his tidy

151
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: whitey's with a boa and grabbing strippers and prostitutes by

152
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: the ponytail. I mean, the fact that this guy bought

153
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: a handgun. I mean, he is a menace to society.

154
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Just put this. Put that aside for a second. But

155
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to note that. And then

156
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: we mention forgot the crack pipes during all this. You

157
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: really don't want somebody with around in the chamber walking

158
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: around who's a crack smoker. That's a bad that's bad.

159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: And in fact, what we find is it is actually illegal.

160
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: It is illegal to be a abuser of illegal drugs

161
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: and be and and have and even own a gun.

162
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: And he lied on a federal form. This is difficult

163
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: to prove and is not often prosecuted, even when there

164
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: is a case to be brought. It's like fifty sixty

165
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: percent of cases they don't actually bring. I think the

166
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: defense for a hunter here, he wrote in his memoir,

167
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: just to give you a sense of I mean, when

168
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: you're incriminating yourself in your memoir, are autobiography your own

169
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: world class dumbass like that's but we already know that

170
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: about a hundred the smartest guy that knows you also

171
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: feel like the law doesn't apply to you, even beyond

172
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: the dumbass. He feels like. That's why I said. The

173
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: fact that he would fly all the way across the

174
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: country and get on Air Force one after the Mara

175
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Lago raid for a vacation with his dad when he

176
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: could have just met him in South carol Lina was

177
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: just a thumb in the eye to anyone who claims

178
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: to care about justice in any way. And so that's

179
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: that's one component of this um. But they're gonna have

180
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: to prove that he was a illegal user of the

181
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: drugs when he did the Fortuna. Maybe they can. But

182
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: if I'm his defense attorney, not that I would ever

183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: want to be, I would probably say, look, he was

184
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: cleaned during that period, and you know it just gets

185
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher the tax charge though, I mean,

186
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: want anybody who is an accountant or has ever worked

187
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: with an accountant says, Look, the one thing that's always

188
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna get you nailed is not declaring income like that's

189
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: because it's a it's a yea or nay. It's a

190
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: yes or no. Did you make this money? Did you

191
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: declare this money undeclared income? Now he has that, that's obvious.

192
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: The question then becomes one, he paid the back taxes,

193
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: So does that show enough contrition? And given the political

194
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: realities that they I mean, because Clay, I think they're

195
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna make him, hey, a big fine. This

196
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: has been my thing all in back taxes has been

197
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: reported that he owed right, But I'm saying that they

198
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: may bring an additional charge of some kind that will

199
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: result in in, you know, some kind of a penalty

200
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: forfeiture in addition to that, and also some kind of

201
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: a probation. They could, if this was a normal person,

202
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: say you're actually going to spend a couple of years

203
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: in club fed, which is what you're talking about. If

204
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: they do that, I don't think there's any doubt that

205
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: the sitting president has to I'm gonna say it has to,

206
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: would pardon his son, which destroys his presidency. It's all us, right, Yeah,

207
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt we come back here.

208
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this aspect because I'm curious

209
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: what you could think, Buck. I always am trying to

210
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: read the tea leaves of who's leaking and why they

211
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: are leaking. Could there be a division between the FBI

212
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice inside the prosecutors inside of

213
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's universe here? And the reason why I bring

214
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: it up is the FBI agents, presuming that some of

215
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: them are the source, because I'm curious if you would

216
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: buy into the way that the Washington Post wrote this story,

217
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: if they are the sources, they are saying, we've had

218
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: evidence of felonies for months and nobody is acting on this.

219
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Because of the Mari Lago ray, the FBI has come

220
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: under intense scrutiny and they may well well want the

221
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: political pressure lifted off of their organization. So I'm curious

222
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: if you buy it. That's one possibility. I have a

223
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: very different possibility in mind for why this was leaked,

224
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: But people are gonna have to stay with us for us.

225
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: There we go. That's look at that edge your seats,

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: all right. I gotta switch gear us here and talk

227
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: to you about something that is really critically important and

228
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: it is a mission directly from God. Preborn Pregnancy Centers,

229
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: my friends. Preborn has a mission. They're trying to save

230
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: baby from abortion, and they need our help now more

231
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: than ever. They're preparing for this influx of abortions in

232
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: sanctuary states. You see this right now. The debate's playing

233
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: out all over the country. There are abortion extremists in

234
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: our midst and they're trying to push for federal funding

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: for this. They want to federally codify Roe v. Wade.

236
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: After the Supreme Court overturned it is fight is far

237
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: from over. In fact, now more than ever, it's necessary

238
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: for those of us who believe in life to take

239
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: steps to save as many lives of the unborn as possible.

240
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Whether when a mother is considering abortion and she meets

241
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: her baby on an ultrasound and here's the heartbeat. It

242
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: is a divine connection and a majority of the time

243
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: she will choose to give life to that baby outside

244
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: the womb. Preborn has rescued hundreds of thousands of babies

Speaker 1: and make sure that you never miss a moment, especially

262
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: again as the holiday's loom not very far away now,

263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: believe it or not, to Thanksgiving and to Christmas, maybe

264
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of a nip in the air wherever

265
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: you are across the country as you are starting off

266
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: your day in the morning. Now you can tell that

267
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: fall in winter is officially very very close and Buck.

268
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: Last night I did something I had no plans at

269
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: all to do. I was with my wife and I

270
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: saw Tucker Carlson tweeted out that Kanye West was going

271
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: to be on as a guest, and I said, I

272
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: have to watch this. I don't know how many of

273
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: you out there watched it, but Kanye made big news

274
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: and we talked about it on this program for wearing

275
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: a white Lives Matter shirt and he went on Tucker

276
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: and I mean, honestly, it was a pretty riveting discussion

277
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: about his views of the world. Now, let me play

278
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: this cut for you. Kanye talked a lot about why

279
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: he liked Trump, what his political views were. But here

280
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: is Kanye explaining why he had white Lives Matter on

281
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: his shirt. They're looking for an explanation, and people say, well,

282
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: as an artist, you don't to given explanation, but as

283
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: a leader you do. Yes. I think that's right. So

284
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: the answer to why I wrote white Lives Matter on

285
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: a shirt is because they do. It's the obvious thing.

286
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: Why do you think that's so? And I assume the implications.

287
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: Of course, all lives matter because their lives, because God

288
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: created them. Why do you think that that would be

289
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: considered controversial? Because the same people that have stripped us

290
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: of our identity and labeled as a color have told

291
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: us what it means to be black and the vernacular

292
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to have. All right, So that's interesting

293
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: why he wore the white Lives Matter shirt. He also

294
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that he was a big Trump

295
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: supporter and that he was threatened for saying that by

296
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: others in his industry and beyond. Listen to this. Why

297
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: did you like him? By the way you said? He

298
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: liked him early like you saw him. I mean, I

299
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: keep telling this joke. If people say Trump was the

300
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: first black president, I'm gonna be the first Latino president

301
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: because all the values, the conservative values, just line up.

302
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: Come on, man, Trump. Samie has his own buildings. We

303
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: talk about. He's like I think Ralph Lareen. He made Ivanka.

304
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: There was a good line there where he said he

305
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: made Avonca and Tucker was like, you like Avanca and

306
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: he was like yeah, which was which was? I thought?

307
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: A really funny line, especially if you've paid attention to

308
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: in the past. But what do you think the overlap was?

309
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: As I was watching it. People who watch Tucker Carlson

310
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: and are familiar with Kanye West. So here's here's what

311
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: you can say about about both of them. And I

312
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: think why people are able to draw um such it's

313
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: hard to even put a sort of an outer ring. Oh,

314
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: we got him, everybody right now, we have with us

315
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: the Governor of Florida, Ron de Santists, Governor of Santists.

316
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: We know you are super busy thing. Thank you for

317
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: calling in. Yeah, no, thanks for having me. We just

318
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: towards got a brief and towards some damage over in

319
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: the Daytona area. A lot of people see the images

320
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: from Fort Myers area, and rightfully so they were very devastating.

321
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: But this dumps so much rain across Florida that we've

322
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: seen floods really all across the center part of the state,

323
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: and so it's a big event. But people are really

324
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: rallying and doing a good job. You know, our Fort

325
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: Myers affiliate is back on air today for the first time,

326
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: so we're really thinking about our friends and family and

327
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: community down there, Governor tell us how are the relief

328
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: efforts going, what progress has been made, and what is

329
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: your focus. So initially when the storm hits, its life rescue.

330
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: So we have had done over twenty five hundred rescue

331
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: missions and that's involving state agencies, local agencies as well

332
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: as the Coast Guard. And it's been really really fantastic

333
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: to see how quick and how successful that has been.

334
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: We also had forty two thousand line in stage in

335
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Florida for power restoration, so we're now ninety nine percent

336
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: of the state plus has power restored. Most of them

337
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: had a restored within a couple of days. There are

338
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: a couple hot spots in Lee County that had significant damage,

339
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: so there's been a surge of about twenty five hundred

340
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: additional alignment into Lee County to be able to that.

341
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: Lee County also had break in their water mains and

342
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: so we brought a firm down that has people from

343
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: mt So they've repaired that so you now have water

344
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: flowing everywhere and they're working on the water pressure. So

345
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: all in all in terms of the rescue, then the

346
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: power and the water to be here basically a week

347
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: after the storm and having done that many rescues and

348
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: have the power and water situation where it is that

349
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: is not normal. I mean most of these storms and

350
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: people that have grown up in Florida and I can

351
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: remember you cannot even be in the eye of the

352
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: storm and be out two weeks without power. So I

353
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: think that that was really good planning. Now the issue

354
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: is is, okay, who's been displaced and then what infrastructure

355
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: is an immediate need. So we had an island called

356
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Pine Island that got severed from the mainland because the

357
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: bridge got ripped up. We did at the state, We

358
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: just took control of it and we did an emergency repair,

359
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: so you now have people going back onto Pine Island.

360
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 1: It took us basically three days to do that, and

361
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times i'd take people three

362
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: months with the bureaucracy. So we're cutting through that. We're

363
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: now working on the Santa Bell Causeway. For those of

364
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: your listeners that have ever been there, they've been over

365
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: that causeway. It was severed in three different places, and

366
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: so we're we think we're going to restore it this month.

367
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more in depth in terms of

368
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: what needs to be done, but bottom line, is we

369
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: need to restore flow of traffic over to Santa Bell

370
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: which got hit very hard. In the meantime, we are

371
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: by both barge and helicopter dropping in Lineman, National Guard,

372
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: you name it, to help clear debris and to help

373
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: get the power grid back up and running there. So

374
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot that's going on. We do have people,

375
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: of course, display who's homes are either severely damage or

376
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: totally destroyed, and we're working to help get them in

377
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: good spots. Across the board. We're talking to Florida Governor

378
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: RHN de Santis. Governor, I know that sports has always

379
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: been a big part of normalcy and you've been great

380
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: using the state of Florida, whether it's the NFL college football,

381
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: high school. You have an event tonight that I know

382
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: OutKick is going to have some people covering. Got a

383
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: high school game that's taking place in Naples, Southwest Florida,

384
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: obviously very hard hit. What does it mean to be

385
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: able to get kids back, being able to engage in

386
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: extracurricular activities, go to school. What is that event tonight

387
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: going to mean? Well, I think it's going to be

388
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: huge and it's Naples versus Baron. Call your four and

389
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: one versus Flord No. So they're both very good programs.

390
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: And I was actually it struck me. And you know, Clay,

391
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I've always believed, you know, get sports back, it helps,

392
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: which is the community and everything, and also the athletes

393
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: want to play. But I'm talking to a mom in

394
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: one of the shelters a couple of days after the storm,

395
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: and she's just like, we've got to stand for the kids.

396
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: The kids need to be in school, they need to

397
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: be doing their stuff. Now Lee County some of that's

398
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit more in depth because

399
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: they did have some schools totally wiped out. But for

400
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Naples and Callier to be back this Friday night, I

401
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: think that's going to be a huge boost for the community.

402
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: And I think what we've seen is the folks that

403
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: have had to deal with this have shown really incredible resiliency.

404
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't hear any o woe was me what they're

405
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: saying to me. The people that lost everything, they just

406
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: can't thank everybody enough for being there to help them out.

407
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: So I think the spirit has been exemplary, and I

408
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: think tonight's game is going to be great because here

409
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: we are massive storm. Call your County of course got

410
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: major historic storm surge. It did do damage. They're ameliorating it. Obviously,

411
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: there was a lot of rescues and people were brought

412
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: to safety. But here we are Friday night lights, and

413
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 1: I think the community's really rallying. We know you've got

414
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: a ton going on, but you've been raising a lot

415
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: of money for Buck and I are going to come

416
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: down to southwest Florida and help when things get stabilized there.

417
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: For all of our listeners, for people out there listening

418
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: nationwide to us right now, what can they do to

419
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: help all of you recover in Florida. So my wife,

420
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: our first lady, she launched Florida Disasterfund dot org. So

421
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: if you go to Florida Disasterfund dot org you can

422
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: contribute online. She's now raised over thirty nine million dollars

423
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: and I think we're going to continue with a full

424
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: head of steam. And basically what that will do Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,

425
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: they've all waived the processing fee. So if you give

426
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of what you give is going this

427
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: fund with nothing taken out. It's going to allow us

428
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: to partner with private charities and other organizations to really

429
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: help fill needs that the government just can't. I mean,

430
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: FEMA does certain programs, find the State of Florida does

431
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: certain programs, fine, and maybe that'll be all you need.

432
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: But in a situation like this, there's going to be

433
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: additional needs, and so this allows that to get on

434
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: the target where it's most needed. And I just want

435
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: to thank everybody who has contributed. Thank you that we

436
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: raised more than we thought we would. At this point,

437
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: we want to keep the momentum going and ultimately get

438
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: those dollars where they're the most beneficial to the people

439
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: that have the most unique need. Clan I'll make contributions today, Governor,

440
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: and Floridians all across your state they're listening. Grateful for

441
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: the efforts with the first responders and everybody involved here

442
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: that you've been coordinating to get Florida back on its feet.

443
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Governor Santis, thank you so much for your time. Thank you.

00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: are the closest to nuclear armageddon that we have been

464
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty two. Do you agree with that characterization?

465
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: And how much danger is there of strategic nukes being

466
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: used by Russia? Well, great to be with you guys

467
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: always on the show. That got my attention. I mean,

468
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty real obvious. The president is prone

469
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: to making off the cuff statements, but I don't think

470
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: he's wrong about that. I mean, there have been some

471
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: incidents in the later part of the Cold War, the

472
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three war and the Able Archer exercise in

473
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, but I don't think we're really ever

474
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: as close as it appears. We might be towards the

475
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: Russians actually using nucer weapons now end of the world

476
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: got forbid armageddon. I think that's probably an exaggeration. But

477
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: once nukes start getting thrown around, you don't know how

478
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: that's going to end, so I think, and the thing is,

479
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: it could happen very rapidly. So look, a lot of

480
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: people are saying it's a low probability event. I don't

481
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: know how they know that it maybe, but even if

482
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: it's a low probability event, it's very very high impact.

483
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a low probably ability event that

484
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: could destroy the world. It's kind of a significant factory.

485
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: That's not a fat tail situation you want to play

486
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: around with, Upbridge, what do you think? I mean, I

487
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: don't think anybody knows, and Putin might even be pretty

488
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: mercurial on this one himself. What is a a probable

489
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: red line in your mind for where Putin would decide?

490
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: You know what I gotta I gotta escalate to de escalate,

491
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm firing. I'm firing off a tactical nuke. Well, let

492
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: me let me. I don't exactly know what his red

493
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: line is. I'm not sure anybody really does. Maybe he

494
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: doesn't even really know. What I'll say, is this. I mean,

495
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you were doing a scenario for where

496
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: the Russians might use nuclear weapons, this is pretty close

497
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: to what it's like. I mean, the collapse of his military,

498
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: political and humiliation, strategic isolation, the collapse of the position

499
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: in eastern Ukraine, and influence even in other places like

500
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: Armenia and arz Raijan. So politically it's really bad. Hey,

501
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: b look, we know he's a nasty guy. That's not

502
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: the issue, right, But if he's such a nasty guy,

503
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't we be worried that he nasty enough to use

504
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon? And then the third point is he

505
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: spent They spent a lot of money and time on

506
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: recapitalizing their nuclear infrastructure, so this is not like a

507
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: cheap threat it's not like something they've forgotten about for

508
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: thirty years and they're just getting around too. They including

509
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: on taxi nuclear weapons. And by the way he's saying,

510
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: he literally saying he's not a bluff. He could be bluffing,

511
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, he's increasing the cost of

512
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: backing down. So what's his red line? I don't know

513
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: what his red line is, but I would say, look

514
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: in the in the world of nuclear you know, a

515
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: nuclear world where you can't decisively defeat even in that

516
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the evil guy like putin, it's just it's out of

517
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: off the carbs, and I think something that puts him

518
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: in a situation where it's really that's that's not his

519
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: worst option. I would expect. I would expect there's going

520
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: to be a strong impetus in Moscow to use a

521
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, probably locally like on the battlefield, perhaps more

522
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: than one designed to both shock but also maybe to

523
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: affect the battlefield. And I think it would have a

524
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: significant impact. And I think we have to be very

525
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: clear in our heads what we will or more perfectly

526
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: should not do in response to that. What was the

527
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: question that I'll be abated, right, what should be done

528
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: in response if they do that. Look, I'll be honest

529
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: with you. I don't think we should get into a

530
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: nuclear war with the Russians over Ukraine. I'm support supporting

531
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: the Ukrainians, although I think the Ukraine the Europeans need

532
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: to take lead. It's both unfair and also it inhibits

533
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: our ability to focus on Asia. But I do think

534
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: we should be supporting them. But we rightly decided that

535
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: Ukraine is not a NATO member state, It's not worth war.

536
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: And the fact is, if you're in our security umbrella,

537
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: if we get in a fight with the Russians or

538
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: the Chinese, we have to assume that it's it's it's

539
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: possibly going to go nuclear. And if we're fighting on

540
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: their doorstep in areas they've repeatedly expressed as a core interest.

541
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean Barack Obama said this repeatedly express as a

542
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: core interest that there's we have to assume that, and

543
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: I why do we think that we're more resolute over

544
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: that than they are? Yet, you know, people like David

545
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Petreus going out there and saying that we should blow

546
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: up their military in Ukraine. What do you think, I mean,

547
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: even if we respond it conventionally, they can't fight US conventionally,

548
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: especially now that their army is wasted, so they're they're

549
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: going to have to go nuclear if they're going to

550
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: be able to fight US. I just don't think the

551
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: stakes are worth it. Like again, I think Ukraine to

552
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: me is we want to support them, we want independent, strong,

553
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, secure enough Ukraine, but there are limits to

554
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: how far we should go. Okay, so Bridge, how do

555
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: we end this? Okay? Obviously everybody out there is like,

556
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: we'd prefer there not be nuclear weapons involved. Hootin is

557
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: being humiliated right now? Yeah, yeah, most people. And we

558
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: got advances going on with Ukraine, but soon we're going

559
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: to be into the full on winter over there, in

560
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: which case it seems very difficult for the armies to

561
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: move that much, and so you kind of have a

562
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: hunker down situation where everybody defends their lines, and theoretically

563
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: that could go on for a long time. How do

564
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: we end this? What is an into the war look like?

565
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: And what are the probabilities are? When are the probabilities

566
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: that that might occur? From your analysis, it's hard to see.

567
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're the neither the Ukrainians nor

568
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: the Russians appear to want to settle at this point.

569
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think if we got into the

570
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: situation where it's stalemate, it would sadly, it would probably

571
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: be bleeding on both sides along the lines of Korea

572
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: sort of nineteen fifty one to nineteen fifty three, and

573
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: then eventually a settlement. I mean, look, there's going to

574
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: have to be some kind of even an implicit settlement.

575
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: There doesn't need to be a formal trumpets of a

576
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: peace treaty, but there, you know. I mean, there hasn't

577
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: been a peace treaty on the Korean peninsula, but there

578
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been a war since nineteen fifty three. So I

579
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: think some kind of negotiated settlement is going to be

580
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: and that may not leave. I mean, the Russians may

581
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: try again in ten years, you know, and that's why

582
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be important, especially for the Europeans to

583
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: support the Ukrainians. But look, I think again, you know,

584
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: in the nuclear era, you cannot just wipe out a

585
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: country with nuclear weapons, and so I think we're going

586
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: to have to. I mean, what I hope we're thinking

587
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: about is, if you will, a theory of victory, which

588
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: is to say, how does this end in a way

589
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: that the Kremlin doesn't have a better option, and particularly

590
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have a better option, escially by using nuclear weapons,

591
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: which puts US in a terrible position. So I don't

592
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: exactly know. I mean what you're saying might actually kind

593
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: of saw of the problem. If there's sort of a culmination,

594
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: if you will, of the of the Ukrainian counter offensive. Obviously,

595
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: I think we all hope, you know, wish them success,

596
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, if if, if it goes

597
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: too far, that is going to up the the dilemma

598
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: that we all face in terms of Russian nuclear use.

599
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of Bridge, Colby Bridge, what happens with Crimea and

600
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: all this, That's something that hangs out there, but we

601
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: usually are focused just on the regaining of territory. The

602
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Russians have seized in the eastern part of Ukraine. Then

603
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: there's the dawn Bass region where they annexed and have

604
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: these had this referendum recently. But Crimea was annexed by

605
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: the Russian Federation years ago? Is that just is that

606
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: going to be accepted at the end of this? I

607
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: think I think Crimea is probably a whole nother level.

608
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was Ukrainian territory. We haven't recognized it.

609
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: But you know, Medvedev said months ago that that was

610
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: even a greater red line and that would be sort

611
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: of heat connected its heat U use. So I think,

612
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, again, we don't know. That's part of what's

613
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: so dangerous here. And I mean the situation the way

614
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: it reminds me a little bit right now is you know,

615
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: right around Thanksgiving of nineteen fifty, when America UN forces

616
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: were going north to Yalu and we dismissed the warnings

617
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: from the Chinese to intervene, which in retrospect looks very clear.

618
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: But if if Putin us a nuclear weapon at this point,

619
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we would have any right to say

620
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: that we were that we were surprised. So I mean,

621
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean again, I think this is

622
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: got to be there's going to have to be some

623
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: negotiation at some point, which is going to be uh,

624
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, the only way out of the only way

625
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: to a sort of a settlement bridge. There was talk

626
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: early on about Vladimir Putin's potential perceived weakness, maybe even

627
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: health related concerns that he could have he just turned seventy.

628
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: I know, it's always hard to assess, but it appears

629
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: that some of his allies inside of the mill military

630
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: are finally speaking out and challenging him publicly on how

631
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: this war so far has gone. Do we get any

632
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: sense internally whether Putin might be under any strife or turmoil,

633
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: and how that aspect of this could resolve itself, whether

634
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: internal divisions in Russia could play a role in a resolution. Yeah,

635
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there was an article at Washington

636
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: Post today saying that there was a very senior and

637
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: kind of close guy in Plutin circle who's now speaking

638
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: up against him. That's got a lot of attention in

639
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: Washington apparently, and there's been more open criticisms even from

640
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: this sort of the kind of hawkish, you know, Russian community.

641
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: There was a guy one of the regional governors they'd installed,

642
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of these sort of occupation authority guys,

643
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: said that showing you the defensemans or should have a

644
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: decency to shoot himself for the for the absolute failure

645
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: of the Russian military. So I think, I mean, you

646
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: have to infer that there's pressure and some of and

647
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: Putin's is increas saying sort of desperation, suggest he is aware.

648
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean or feeling pressure. Um, I mean, I think

649
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: we'll sort of I mean, the least us on the outside.

650
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: But I would imagine even our I would wonder about

651
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: our intelligence capabilities given the Russian system, But I don't

652
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: think we would have a huge amount of warning if

653
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: something were to happen, right, If if we hear about

654
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: it's probably heard about it and had the plot or shot. Right.

655
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's very possible that that he's unseated.

656
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: But what I you know, I think it's I don't

657
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: think that solves our problem. I think we could get

658
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can look historically after the Cuban

659
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: missile crisis a couple of years afterwards, Kruschev was kicked out,

660
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: partially because they thought he'd mishandled the Cuban crisis and

661
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: the Berlin crises, you know. But he was replaced by Breznev,

662
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: who initially was kind of more you know it was

663
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: into day tant, but eventually started pushing on the West. So,

664
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and the plausible contenders in the Russians system

665
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: don't necessarily seem different in degree I do. I think

666
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: it would probably help because presumably the Ukraine War somebody's

667
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: going to hang that like an albatross on Putin and

668
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: say I'm a new guy, but I wouldn't expect Russia

669
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: to like dramatically turn like a Yeltsin kind of situation. Bridge.

670
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being with us, man, appreciate it.

Speaker 1: be the theme song of Jesse Kelly aka Kamala Harrison,

698
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,279

704
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: it was good to talk to you guys. I even

705
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: convinced myself maybe this would be fair in an even

706
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: handed interview and an accounting of the events that happened

707
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: that night. But as soon as I heard Gold Digger,

708
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: I knew why it was being played, and I knew

709
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: that my honor has been has been besmirched on the

710
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: great play and Buck show. And now now we're enemies.

711
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Tell us now we're enemy all right? So the storyline

712
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: for people who might have missed it, went out to

713
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: dinner as friends on well you were you went to

714
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: like a play? Right? Where did you go? On? Sat?

715
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: Jesse went to this Broadway? This is why, this is

716
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: why I didn't want to come on. Yeah, okay, my

717
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: wife wanted to go see some sorry musical called Chicago. Yeah.

718
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: I took her to Chicago. Okay. I stuffed my sixth

719
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: eighth frame and its tiny, crappy little seat. And did

720
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: you have good seat as I watched? No? Oh yeah

721
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: we oh of course we got good seats. I heeart,

722
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: God love him hooked us up with you. It's the

723
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: person behind Jesse who always has bad seats, by the way,

724
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: because they're staring at the small of his bats. So

725
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: you spent two and a half hours at Chicago, Yes,

726
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: and then when you came out you came out to

727
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: get fret, You went to a musical, and then you

728
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: come out to dinner with us or a post dinner

729
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: h And we go to this hotel's rooftop and uh,

730
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: in order to be seated, you have to order a

731
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: bottle of something. Because it's New York City, it's Buck's hometown,

732
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: they h and I don't know what it is. Buck.

733
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed this. Every time I

734
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: go in anywhere, they think that I can't afford anything.

735
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't dress well enough, but clay in some

736
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: of these establishments, when they see tattered shorts and flip flopsy,

737
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: they make some assumptions. When it's like fifty degrees outside,

738
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: I walked, I walked it up to the guy at

739
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: the at the top the hotel and I said, can

740
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: we get a table please? And he was like, well,

741
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, you have to buy you know, to spend

742
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, like basically it was like

743
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: telling me, hey, poor kid, like you can't afford to

744
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: be here. I was like, yeah, I can afford to

745
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: buy a bottle of wine. So we sit down, poor wine,

746
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: and you order your own drink. Say, oh, I had

747
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: to get the tequila shots because I didn't. You ordered

748
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: your own drink right like, general into his old fashioned though, Like,

749
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: is that a thing? You know? Let let's clarify something here.

750
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't drink wine, Okay. I grew up in Ohio,

751
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: in Montana. I eat velveta, I eat doritos and cheeseburgers.

752
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't sif on red wine. So of course I

753
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: ordered my own drink. The tequila shots who were to

754
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: try to make everybody have fun, have more fun, probably

755
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: because you guys were bringing us down. I mean, let

756
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: me also say this in defense of Bucket myself. I

757
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: can't say who it was, but we're trying to recruit

758
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: someone who was in sports media come work at out Kick,

759
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: and that was the order that she placed. So she

760
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: ordered the red wine. Buck and I, being gentleman, are like, yeah,

761
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: well you're like red wine. But we were surprising was

762
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: that as Jesse ordered his old Fashion I saw a

763
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: pinky ring on his finger. It was amazing, all right.

764
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: So we're all sitting there enjoying our red wine, except

765
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: for Jesse, who has his own old fashion, and then

766
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: he just out of nowhere. Jesse is like, we gotta

767
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: get four shots of the most expensive tequila, which Bob Pittman,

768
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: who owns the entire company, has founded the the Cassa Dragoons.

769
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: And Buck says to you, Jesse, as I recall, that's

770
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: gonna be really expensive. I think, I said, Jesse, you're

771
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: ordering a mortgage payment's worth of tequila. I think that

772
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: was I think that, And Jesse was like, basically like chomp, chump,

773
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: I'll take two rounds, my good man. Okay, okay, now

774
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: now it's my turn to clarify, because you guys are

775
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: missing a very convenient detail of this whole thing. Yes,

776
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: I ordered the tequila shots. Yes. Buck issued a warning

777
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: that it was expensive. Where I come from, shots cost

778
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: two dollars as a special on Friday night. If you

779
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: tell me there's an expensive shot, I think we're talking

780
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars, right, ten fifteen dollars. Buck did not say

781
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: they were going to be seventy five dollars a piece.

782
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: If Buck tells me, hey, Jesse, watch out when you

783
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: open the fridge, I'm going to assume, oh no, there

784
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: might be a bottle in there that might fall out.

785
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: If I opened the fridge and a Siberian tiger jumps

786
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: out and attacks me. That's not on me, that's on

787
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: Bucks for not disclosing the appropriate amount of detail. That's

788
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: a fair point where you surprised Buck that it was

789
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: seventy five dollars a shot, even as a New Yorker.

790
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Did that seem steep to you? No, I mean that

791
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: that place, it's actually where I went on my first

792
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: date with Carrie. Believe it or oh, that rooftop has

793
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: some history, so I am familiar. We try to go

794
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: somewhere next door, and then we went there, and that

795
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: is one of the more Look, everyone knows and every

796
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: everyone who lives in a city anywhere or even a

797
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: pretty good sized town of the country. This is like

798
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: one of the more expensive hotels in the city, and

799
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: expensive hotels, I mean, you know, I remember I was

800
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: in a fancy hotel once in France. I ordered yogurt

801
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: and it was the equivalent of forty dollars. Like you know,

802
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: they'll just they'll charge you anything in these places. But

803
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: when you're looking at that, you know that shelf of

804
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: booze where everything almost looks like Indiana. Jones had to

805
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: go and find it somewhere else around the world, and

806
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: he was being chased by a Boulder to get this

807
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: glass carafe or whatever you mess with that shelf of

808
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: booze at a place like the Peninsula Hotel, and you're

809
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna pay through the Even I, which we've already established,

810
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: was not considered rich enough to even be able to

811
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: sit at a table up there. Even I, when I

812
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: looked at the bill and saw that they were seventy

813
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: five dollars each a shot, was actually Jesse, Jesse, can

814
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: I tell you something. Clay wanted to go a full

815
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: pretty woman when they brought the bill and be like,

816
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: big mistake, big mistake. Well, now, another another little detail

817
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: that you have not told the Clay and Buck audience

818
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: is I offered to pay. I was even. I even

819
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: did the thing where I was reaching into my pocket

820
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: to pull out my wallet because I felt bad because

821
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: I had ordered the seventy five dollars shots, and Clay

822
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: took advantage of that and paid anyway, just so he

823
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: could come trash me with you guys on this that

824
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: could be true. I definitely noticed that I had an

825
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: advantage also at that point, like trying to divvy up

826
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: the bill and everything else, I thought there was way

827
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: more value in being able to blame you for ordering

828
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: the seventy five dollars shots than allowing you to play. Plus,

829
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to throw Aubrey under the bus here,

830
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely gonna do it. You had already confessed

831
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: that you were living on the high life there because

832
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: you took her shopping at like Sacksfifth Avenue or something,

833
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: and I figured at that point I didn't need to

834
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: take more money out of your wallet. Well, didn't know

835
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: what Sacks fifth Avenue was. We walked in. We had

836
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: to get something for her parents as a thing. Look,

837
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: we don't have to go into the details. Okay, you

838
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: know what, Maybe we should talk about Buck in his quarter,

839
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: his dime sized craft. Oh how dare you, sir? It's

840
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: a very solid's a very solid married man. Pivot. See

841
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: that you're about to get flattened and you immediately attack

842
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: someone else, Jesse, I had the cocktail party. Crab cakes

843
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: are not supposed to be the size of basketballs. Listen,

844
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan, you got to settle down on this one.

845
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: There was a carving station with red meat. You needed

846
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: to go to that first and foremost cocktail party passed

847
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: or dirts, small crab cakes. You just gotta spare a

848
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: few of them at a time and eat them like

849
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: bond bonds. I couldn't spare a few of them at

850
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: the time. The wife was right there, and every time

851
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: I tried to double up, she told me, this is

852
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: a sophisticated place. Yet you can't do things like that anymore.

853
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: So this is not on me. Maybe next time, find

854
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: some adult crabs to make crab cakes. I'm just gonna

855
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: tell you this is an important pro tip for everybody.

856
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: If you ever go to a cocktail party and you're hungry,

857
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: it is essential where you position yourself in the room

858
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: because the food's always coming in from one place, and

859
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: the good the good orderves go very quickly, So you've

860
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: got to find the route of ingress for the crab cakes,

861
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: for the bacon wrap shrim for the chicken satte, and

862
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: the peanut sauce, all the above. So Jesse, it is interesting.

863
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: I didn't know there were crab cakes at all. The

864
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: biggest issue, and no pun intended here, that came out

865
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: of the out of Bucks engagement party was I'm never

866
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: getting picture taken with you again. I've not been. I

867
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: never Nobody ever sees a picture of me and says

868
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: positive things. No matter what, I've never been savaged for

869
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: being short in my entire life like I was after

870
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: that photo went out. Well, it's not just honestly, it's

871
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: not my heights. There's nothing you can do about that.

872
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: It's my height. And then I've been told that my

873
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: face is really symmetrical. Me and Denzel Washington, we have

874
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: symmetrical faces. So it's not just that I'm above you, guys.

875
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: I'm so radiant it kind of blows people away and

876
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: everyone else kind of just fades into the background, so

877
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: it makes you seem small. It's really not your fault. Well, Jesse,

878
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: I really do appreciate you coming up from Houston though

879
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: for the party. Considering when I made the toast and

880
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: the main photo that everybody saw that it's been circulating.

881
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: You're standing in the background and everyone's like, nice toast.

882
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: Fronto Baggins, Why were you behind him for the toast?

883
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: Do you know why he was behind me? It was

884
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: like he was gonna hold up his hand like you

885
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: must be Vis tall for a ride, you must be

886
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: Vis tall to give a toast. No, once again, once

887
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: again I'm made out to be the bad guy. I

888
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: was behind you because we were talking. You and me

889
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: were having a discussion. You turned around, took the microphone

890
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: and started giving a speech. What was I supposed to do?

891
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: Lay down on the floor. That's where I happen to

892
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: be fair. I'm just approach it for everybody. Always tell

893
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Durga Photo to take a knee. Okay, I'm just

894
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: telling you otherwise you're not going to be a happy camper.

895
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: All right. Last question for you, Jesse here, you've clearly

896
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: a stablish that you're a gold digger in the Kamala

897
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: Harris of the Premier Radio family. But the speaking of

898
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: gold diggers, do you think that Hunter Biden is actually

899
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna get charged or not with any crime. I believe

900
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: he will be charged with a crime and it will

901
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: be held over Joe Biden's head. So you will see

902
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden after the mid terms. I would guess December, January,

903
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: maybe February, Joe Biden will resign the presidency, claiming some

904
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: form of illness or something like that, and then you'll

905
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: know for a fact they held the Hunter Biden thing

906
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: up as a way to move Joe out, because you

907
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: actually think he'll resign, not just announced that he's not

908
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: going to run for reelection. No, no, no, I believe

909
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: I believe he'll resign because they need pie. You can't

910
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: have Joe Biden just say I'm not gonna run for reelection.

911
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna the midterms are gonna have been done. It's

912
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: officially presidential campaign season at the time. To shovel Papa

913
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: Joe out the back door. He can move on to

914
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: Delaware and sniff kids, and then they're gonna go run

915
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Gavin new Them and maybe Eric Adams and you know

916
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: Kamala is gonna run. There's no way. Dome's not gonna run.

917
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: And they're gonna run reappl Buck Gig and that it's

918
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna be the same group of crazy as they rail

919
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:13,760

920
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: of a Kamala and uh and and Mayor Pete combo ticket?

921
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: What do you think would happen if it were Kamala

922
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: and mayor Pete one? You could make the argument easily

923
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: that presidential ticket sucks more than any presidential ticket has

924
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: ever sucked ever. But they're not going to do that. Dome,

930
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,479
Speaker 1: in my life. I think Gavin Newsom is the guy.

931
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: As much as I despise him, He's look, let's be frank,

Speaker 1: he's good. Look He's not as good looking as me,

933

Speaker 1: but very good looking. He's a fundraising juggernaut. He's a

934
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: darling to the left. I think Gavin Newso you know

935
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,560

948
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: money your family spent on video cameras back in the day.

949
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: How much did you spend cameras, videotapes, all that space

950

Speaker 1: in your house to store it? All expensive in its

951
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: own way. Those are a lifetime of memories and can't

952
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: orders cost thousands of dollars. Tapes were super expensive. It

953
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: didn't get easy to preserve and make those memories well.

954
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,800
