We are 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: joined now by Monica Crowley, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and Monica, we appreciate you coming on with us. 14 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I want to start right off the top here with 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: the massive miss when it came to new jobs. An 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: expected number of five hundred and seventy three thousand came 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: in at two hundred and ten thousand. Why do you 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: think that is? Hi, Clay, thank you so much for 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: having me. It's great to be here. Well, yeah, we 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: got another huge disappointment in the job's report for the 21 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: month of November and actually over the last four months, 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: three out of the last four clay have been disastrous, 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: starting in August, September, and in November. October was sort 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: of a more positive report, but even that is being 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: revised a little bit downward. So it's clear now we're 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: back into a downward trend. It's also clear that the 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: labor crunch that we have seen essentially since Biden became 28 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: president is still in full effect, and there are a 29 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: number of reasons why we're not seeing jobs take off. 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: The first thing is that, you know, during the emergency 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: last year, President Trump made the very difficult decision to 32 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: do a wholesale shutdown of the US economy, and that 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: was warranted because we had no idea what this ViRGE 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: was or how it was going to behave, and the 35 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: whole world was shutting down, so there was no way 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: that the United States could be the only country not 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: shutting down before we had a real handle on what 38 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: this was all about. So when we did that, the 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: government also understood that it needed to step into the breach. 40 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: So we had to do this emergency level spending and 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: create all of these programs to get American workers and 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: businesses through the most acute period of the crisis. Well, 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: that being said, the crisis is now over. The emergency 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: is long gone, Clay, but you've got unified democratic control 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: in Washington between the White House and Capitol Health, and 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: what they have done is maintained emergency level spending absent 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: the actual emergency, paying people more to stay at home 48 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: than to go to work. And I don't care who 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: you are, most people are economically rational and if you 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: pay them more to stay at home then go to work, 51 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're going to do. The other thing too, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: I think, which is why over the last few months 53 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: you've seen such a very soft labor market. Is these 54 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: vaccine man dates. Certainly in October and November when the 55 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: discussion really started ramping up about putting all these vacs mandates. 56 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: Since place, you've seen a lot of people get fired, 57 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: and you've seen a lot of people very hesitant to 58 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: get the shot. So now their futures are very uncertain. 59 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: They're leaving the labor for summer coming back in. We've 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: seen an interesting dynamic there, but I think government policy 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: is really continuing to have this big wet blanket over 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: the labor market. It's fascinating to think about the difference 63 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: between I started off the show talking about this Monica 64 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: red state recovery economically versus Blue state recovery. While Biden 65 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: is trumpeting the success of his policies, Really it's red 66 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: state America that is successful. If everybody looked like blue 67 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: state America right now, where the numbers I have in 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: front of me right now, I mean, California still has 69 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: a seven point three percent unemployment rate, New Jersey has 70 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: a seven percent ployment rate, New York six point nine percent. 71 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: These are the states that are most aggressively embracing Joe 72 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Biden's economic policies, and they're failing relative to the Florida's, 73 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: the Texas is, the Alabama's, the Tennessee's of the world. Yeah. 74 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: In fact, seventeen of the top twenty states for job recovery, 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: we're not talking about job creation here. We're just talking 76 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: about job recovery post pandemic. We're still in that phase. 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: So when the White House talks about, oh, we're creating 78 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: these all these new jobs, that is false. This is 79 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: a job recovery operation, not a job creation operation. At 80 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: this point, seventeen out of the top twenty states with 81 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: job recovery. They're all led by Republicans. To your point, 82 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: red states have been far more successful with his economic 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: recovery than blue states. You mentioned some of those Blue 84 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: states with their unemployment rates, Clay, New York City has 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: a ten percent unemploye I'm at rate. You see the 86 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: same in a lot of these deep blue cities too, 87 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: like Chicago and Philadelphia and so on. Look, policy matters. 88 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: We know what works. We sought for four years under 89 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: President Trump, who put in place a pro growth economic agenda, 90 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: tax cuts, regulatory relief, FARA trade deals, and unleashing our 91 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: grade energy sector, and the direct result was a booming 92 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: economy with unemployment at at or near historic loads for 93 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: every demographic group and poverty at a historic load, including 94 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: for African Americans. So we know what works. The problem 95 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: now is we've got unified government under the Democrats who 96 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: simply don't care. You know, it drives me crazy, Clay, 97 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: when I hear people talk about incompetence. Oh, Biden and 98 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: his team are so incompetent, the Democrats are so incompetent. 99 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: That is false. This is not incompetence. This is totally deliberate. 100 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: This is all about re engineering the US economy into 101 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: a more collect to the socialist kind of model. That's 102 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: what they want. They do not care about policies that 103 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: actually work for American workers and businesses and industries. They 104 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: do not care about that. This is an ideological jihad 105 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: to re engineer, reshape the country through the US economy. 106 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: How important within that construct is it for the Build 107 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Back Better Bill to not become law? Given that, I 108 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: think you probably agree, by the way we're talking with 109 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: Monica Crowley, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under President Trump, that 110 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to sweep back into power, certainly in 111 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: the House in twenty twenty two and probably in the 112 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: Senate as well, and that means that the Democrats wouldn't 113 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: be able to pass anything for the remaining two years 114 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, at least not with a lot 115 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: of Republican support. Do you think they're going to be 116 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: able to ram through the Build Back Better Bill, this 117 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: massive multi trillion dollar cost package with Joe Manchin and 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: Kirsten Cinema kind of sitting out there on the sideline 119 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: still uncommitted, or do you think that this thing is 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: going to die on the vine? Well, I know a 121 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: lot of people say, look, this is for Democrats who 122 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: are essentially Marxists for the most part. There are some 123 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: exceptions like the two you mentioned, but this is essentially 124 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: a Marxist party now that they view politics simply as 125 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: a vehicle to get their agenda done, the fundamental transformation 126 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: of the nation. So just like with Obama when he 127 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: ran through Obamacare and then the Democrats suffered mass losses 128 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: in twenty ten and both houses flipped and you saw 129 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: thousands of Democrats lose their positions at all levels of 130 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: government across the country. For them, they actually think that 131 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: it's I mean, they'd rather be empowered than not play. 132 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: But if they have to lose power and control temporarily, 133 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 1: for them, it's worth it if they can slam through 134 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: the agenda and movie a written window even further and 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: further left. So their whole view is, well, you can't 136 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: really make our socialist outlet without breaking a few eggs. 137 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: So if we have to lose a few national elections 138 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: here and there, it's okay, we'll come back at some point. Right, 139 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: They're just trying to advance the ball down the field. 140 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Will they get build back better done? You know, I 141 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: know a lot of people are saying, well, yeah, because 142 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: it's worth it for them just to slam something through, 143 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: and it is possible. My view is that if we 144 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: can make it past January first without them getting into 145 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: bill done, then the odds go way down because you 146 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: still have a lot of vulnerable Democrats in purple states 147 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: and districts or red states and districts who are coming 148 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: up for reelection next year. Do they really want to 149 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: go back to their constituents and say I raised your 150 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: taxes during an election year. I'm not convinced that all 151 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: of this is going to go through. Now. I could 152 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: be wrong, and the Democrats could slam something into place 153 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: and they'll probably get some kind of compromise. But I 154 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: think the timetable is going to be really crucial here, 155 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: and just keep leaning on all of these people, especially 156 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: the most vulnerable Democrats, that if they do this, they 157 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: are committing political suicide. We're talking to Monica Crowley, former 158 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: Assistant Treasury secretary under President Trump. Last question for you, Monica, 159 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: and I appreciate the time. Do you think Donald Trump 160 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: is going to run for reelection in twenty twenty four? 161 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: I do, Actually, I do you know he hasn't certainly 162 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: hasn't told me, and he hasn't told anybody else for sure, 163 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: But my sense is that he is going to run. 164 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: And I think he's going to run for a number 165 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: of reasons. First of all, he talks about having to 166 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: bring America back, make America great again again, and he's 167 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: frankly the only one who can bring the US economy 168 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: back a third time. He did it when he first 169 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: came in out office, he did it last year during 170 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: the pandemic when we were coming out of that. And 171 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: he's the only leader on the scene as far as 172 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: I can see, who could do it a third time. 173 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: So I think he still loves the country that I 174 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: think he's going to do it for that reason. But 175 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: also I think he wants to clean up the historical record. 176 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that he sees what happens 177 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and he wants to give it another run. 178 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: And again, I'm only speaking for myself and speculation, but 179 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: knowing the president as I do, and knowing how much 180 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: he really cares about this country, I think he look 181 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: if all things are equal and his health stays great 182 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,479 Speaker 1: and Biden continues to mess up the country beyond all recognition, 183 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: I think he is going to likely make another run 184 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: at it, and I think we'd be blessed if he 185 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: were to do that. I know I said last question, 186 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: But if he runs, it seems clear that Mike Pence 187 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: would not be his running mate as vice president. Is 188 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: there somebody'd like to see him pick? Is there a 189 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: vice presidential candidate? Obviously you'd only have four years to serve, 190 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: so his vice presidential pick would be so massively important 191 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: because if you won in twenty twenty four, the presumptive 192 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: candidate in twenty twenty eight would be that vice president. 193 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: Is there somebody you love that you think would be 194 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: a good match, Well, you know no one in particular, 195 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: but I do know that the Republicans have an extraordinary 196 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: deep base of talent who are populists as well as 197 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: conservatives who could really work with Trump. And if Trump 198 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: doesn't run, they can certainly run on their own and 199 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: be extremely successful. I think, Look, whether it's Trump or 200 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: anybody else, Clay, the truth is that Biden is making 201 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: such a catastrophe out of the country and frankly out 202 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: of the free world, that all the candidate would have 203 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: to do a stand there and point two point to 204 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: the Biden in the catastrophe that he has created. And 205 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: when I think, look, you've got Ronda Santis, You've got 206 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: Christie Nome, got Tim Scott out of South Carolina, You've 207 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: got Mike Pompeo. We've got a very decench, a very 208 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: very talented people. Ted Cruz. So I think whether or 209 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: not Trump runs, I think we are in very good 210 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: standing going into twenty twenty four. I agree with you, Monica. 211 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. Have a great weekend. My pleasure. 212 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Thanks Clay, thank you. When you look back at this 213 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: year and ask yourself, what steps did you take to 214 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: protect the value of your savings account or your IRA, 215 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: will it include the purchase of gold. Protection's important for 216 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: your portfolio, and purchasing real gold as a part of 217 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: that plan is made possible by our partners at Oxford 218 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: Gold Group. They can arrange the purchase of real gold 219 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: and they can have a delivery to your home too. 220 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: The consistent measure of gold against all markets and investment 221 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: types has proven golds value in helping to protect the 222 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: value of your hard saved dollars. So if you think 223 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: buying real golds complicated, our friends at Oxford Gold Group 224 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: or who you need to call.

Welcome 234 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: back in. I am Clay Travis sitting in right now 235 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: for Buck Sexton solo. Usually the two of us would 236 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: be on right now. The Buck is feeling under the weather. 237 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: And one of the big topics that's been discussed of late, 238 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: certainly it's been the Alec Baldwin shooting and what exactly 239 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: went on on that movie set. And last night there 240 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: was a sit down discussion Alec Baldwin had with George Stephanopoulos. 241 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: I actually went on with Sean Hannity and we discussed it. 242 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to play a clip for you of Alec 243 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: Baldwin discussing President Trump weighing in on this situation. But 244 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: I want to put this into a larger context for you. 245 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin effectively said the gun fired without him pulling 246 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the trigger. Now I'm not a firearms expert, but that 247 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: seems highly unlikely. And Alec Baldwin also said, someone's responsible, 248 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: but it's not me. The gun was in his hand 249 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: when it went off and a woman died. There is 250 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: certainly going to be a large number of civil lawsuits. 251 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: What is going to have to be determined is whether 252 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: or not the negligence at play here, according to the DA, 253 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: rose to the level of being a crime, or whether 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: it was merely negligence. In a civil context, that's gonna 255 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: be a big decision, and it may ultimately come down 256 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: to a jury having to determine what was or was 257 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: not appropriate. But Alec Baldwin, if you watched that interview, 258 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: it was a clear attempt to put someone else on 259 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: the chopping block proverbially, to pass the buck to someone 260 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: else and avoid all plame himself. And Alec Baldwin is 261 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: an incredibly talented actor, and so as you watched him, 262 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: if you saw any of this interview, as you watched 263 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: him crying and engaging in historyonics, wringing his hands, looking 264 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: so wildly uncomfortable. I couldn't help but think this feels 265 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: like a production, a production of Alec Baldwin putting his 266 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: story out there. I don't think this was authentic. I 267 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: believe he was working in concert with his lawyers to 268 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: come up with the best possible story that he could tell. 269 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: And the best story that he could tell in his 270 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: mind is the gun went off without me pulling the trigger. 271 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: Seems highly unlikely. But he also has been criticized by 272 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: George Clooney, which he wasn't happy about, and Donald Trump 273 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: weighed in, and Alec Baldwin responded to Trump. And when 274 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: I heard this, I thought, oh, man, let me play 275 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: this audio for the crew out here, and then I 276 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: want to discuss what would have happened if Donald Trump 277 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: had been involved in a similar incident to Alec Baldwin. 278 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: But listen to what Alec Baldwin said about Trump weighing 279 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: in on this movie set shooting one of your brothers. 280 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: Daniel suggested that you've also become a target for your 281 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: political views. Do you agree with that? Well, I don't. 282 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that anybody has said anything about that 283 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: has used this as an opportunity. Other than people you 284 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: would fully expect to have done that. Played president, the 285 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: former president of the United States said that I'm a 286 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: wacko or whatever, and I probably shot her and killed 287 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: her on purpose. He said, I did it deliberately. He 288 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: said he killed her deliberately. And I thought to myself, 289 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: just when you think that the thing is can't get 290 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: more surreal, here is the former president United States making 291 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: a comment on this tragic situation. Well, is this real life? 292 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: If Donald Trump had shot someone, Alec Baldwin would have 293 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: opened up Saturday Night Live re enacting it as a 294 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: skit and demanding that Donald Trump go to jail for 295 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the rest of his life. He's going to now claim 296 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: that what Trump said is unlike anything that he said 297 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: about Trump for years. How out of touch with reality 298 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: is Alec Baldwin that that's his response to this. He 299 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: would have been playing Donald Trump in a Saturday Night 300 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: Live skit shooting people left and right if Trump had 301 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: been involved. Here you all know it come on to 302 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: break now here, And I want to let you know. 303 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: The worst experience you can have online is being exposed. 304 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: Think of all your emails, all your web search is 305 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: being read by some cyber hacker.

We are going to be joined 337 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: by herschel Walker, who may be the man that gives 338 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: Republicans back control of the Senate at the top of 339 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: the next hour. But also we're gonna be doing a 340 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: live show from one to three Eastern. If you're going 341 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: to be down in Atlanta for the SEC championship game, 342 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: or if you just live in the Atlanta area, we'll 343 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: be at STATS doing a pregame show for the College 344 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: Football Conference championship weekend. It's fun, come by swing hangout, 345 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: but was listening to some of the monologues from all 346 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: of the different late night comedians and by the way, 347 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Greg Gutfeld, Buck was on his show last night. Buck, 348 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: by the way, out sick today, but he was an 349 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: out last night doing the show with Gutfeld. And Gutfeld 350 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly dominating Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Trevor Noah, 351 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: everybody out there who has a late night talk show. 352 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: And one reason why I think Greg Gutfeld is dominating 353 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: is because he's still trying to make you laugh in 354 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: the same sort of old school set up as existed 355 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: with David Letterman and as existed with Johnny Carson, and 356 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: as I listened to this monologue from Stephen Colbert on abortion. 357 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: First of all, Stephen Colbert is not very smart in 358 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: terms of analyzing politics. He's also not that funny anymore. 359 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: It's a very strident, morally focused late night talk show. 360 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: And I'm forty two and I grew up loving David Letterman. 361 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: I grew up watching Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, all those 362 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: people late at night. You remember when you were a 363 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: kid and you got to stay up a little bit 364 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: late past your bedtime and you got to watch the 365 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: late night comedians. Well, so great about them was they 366 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: were equal opportunity bomb throwers. They'd really legitimately tried, whether 367 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: they did it or not perfectly, of course not. But 368 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: they ride to equally take shots at the excesses and 369 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: stupidities of Republicans and at the excesses and stupidities of Democrats. 370 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: Sort of imagine Bill Clinton. He was a consistent punchline 371 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: for these guys, even though he's a Democratic politician. George W. 372 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: Bush similarly a consistent punchline he was a Republican. But 373 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: they treated the two guys, at least in my experience, 374 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: very similar. Ronald Reagan not a lot different. Even Barack 375 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: Obama they would make fun of a little bit, but 376 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: with Trump they went off the deep end. And now 377 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: without Trump, you know, Stephen Colbert made his entire show 378 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: and anti Trump screed, and it worked. There were sheep 379 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: out there that desperately wanted their late night comedians to 380 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: only make fun of Donald Trump, and then everybody followed. 381 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: And the reason that Greg Gutfeld is dominating, I think, 382 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: is because he just kind of focuses on the humor 383 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: and these other guys have become so stride it politically, 384 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: and they're all coming from the same angle that there's 385 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: a huge opportunity for Greg Gutfeld. But I listened to 386 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: this clip from Stephen Colbert on abortion, and I thought 387 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: to myself, One, this guy's not very smart in terms 388 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: of even what he's trying to say. But two, how 389 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: do we get to a place where a late night 390 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: comedian walks out onto the stage and this is the 391 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: jokes in quotation marks jokes that he is making. Last month, 392 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: an ABC News Washington Post poll found that sixty percent 393 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: support upholding Row, compared to only twenty seven percent who 394 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: want to overturn it. If it is this unpopular, why 395 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: is everyone's saying that's going to happen? Well, and I 396 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: don't want to get too technical, but we what's the word, 397 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: don't live in a democracy? Five of the nine justices 398 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, the 399 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: last three confirmed by a Republican Senate, who now represent 400 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: forty one million fewer Americans than the Democrats. In fact, 401 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Republican senators haven't represented a majority of the US population 402 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety six. A lot has changed since nineteen 403 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: ninety six. Back then, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor 404 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: went to Kevin Spacey and the best director was Mel Gibson. 405 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: All right, so the Spacey and the Gibson line. Maybe 406 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: that's the attempted joke there, But what he's really saying 407 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: is if Roe v. Wade gets overturned, it's going to 408 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: be a sign that our democracy doesn't work. To me, 409 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite. See, the judges are not elected, 410 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: they are appointed for life. The idea that a judicial 411 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: system should determine a fundamental political question is what I 412 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: believe has made abortion such an incredibly contentious issue in 413 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: this country. We actually would have more of a democracy, 414 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert, if the Justice overturned rov Wade and gave 415 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: back the decision to determine whether or not abortion should 416 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: be legal to all of the democratically elected representatives in 417 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: every state. If there is this great ground swell for 418 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: abortion to be legal in your individual state, then the 419 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: politicians who represent the people will allow abortion to be legal. 420 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: If there is a great ground swell of abortion not 421 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: to be legal in your state, then the politicians will 422 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: be elected who will vote against abortion being legal. What 423 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: happened that Stephen Colbert is defending is the very antithesis 424 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: of democracy. Instead of our political system making a choice, 425 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: hard as it may be, about what we want the 426 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: law to be on abortion. We allowed our politicians to 427 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: punt the issue to a court of unelected judges to 428 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: determine what the law of abortion is in the land. 429 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: That has created a great deal of antagonism and poisoned 430 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: our judicial system because it has turned the appointment of 431 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: justices into a political proxy war over abortion. If individual 432 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: elected politicians have to make their choices on abortion public 433 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: and readily viewable for everyone, that is the very essence 434 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: of what a democracy is, because then all of us 435 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: can decide whether to vote for or against those elected 436 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: officials who are letting their voice on abortion be determined. 437 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: It's frustrating to me that the court would be attacked 438 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: here for potentially making the choice to overrule a precedent 439 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: that was never supported by basic American democracy in the 440 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: first place. What they would be exercising is not judicial activism. 441 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: It's judicial restraint. And what Colbert doesn't understand is that 442 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: is what is supposed to happen in our American democracy, 443 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: where we allow all of you to have your voices 444 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: heard directly when it comes to an issue such as this. 445 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: And again, I want to reiterate, So a lot of 446 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: people out there don't understand what's at stake with the 447 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: Mississippi abortion law. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, every 448 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: individual state would decide whether or not abortion is legal. 449 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: It would not end abortion in America. It would end 450 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: abortion in terms of the Supreme Court deciding it. Then 451 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: all fifty states would get to make a determination about 452 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: what the law is. That is ultimately far more democratic 453 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: than allowing nine unelected justices to determine a fundamentally fundamentally 454 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: in my opinion and political question. It's probably not a 455 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: surprise at Stephen Colbert is an idiot when it comes 456 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: to analyzing an issue such as this, but it is 457 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: kind of disappointing with all the writers that he has 458 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: that nobody would have pointed that out to him. By 459 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: the way, Legacy Box has made plans to be very 460 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: busy this time of year satisfying families nationwide by bringing 461 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: their family memories back to life.

You got an entire 489 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: staff of people that sit around and just try to 490 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: come up with things that they think are funny. That's 491 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: basically what the monologue is. I'm not going to claim 492 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: that this job is wildly difficult to do when it 493 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: comes to making people laugh, but it'll be a fun 494 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: job and certainly get great guests, get to sit down, 495 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: interview them for a few minutes.

What can we kind of have some 501 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: fun with. Somebody's like, you should open your monologue on 502 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: a late night comedy show talking about abortion, and then 503 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: we'll throw in the fact that it's anti democratic and 504 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: that our democracy is not going to survive if rov 505 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: Wade is overturned, it's all such bs and it's all 506 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: such propaganda, and it's not even disguised anymore. And it's 507 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: frustrating to see. I mean, what if Stephen Colbert make 508 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars a year, some insane salary, and he 509 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: can't even understand the basic roles of government. If you're 510 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: at least going to be going out and leading your 511 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: monologue talking about Roe v. Wade, maybe understand the basic 512 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: precepts under which Roe v. Wade would be decided, and 513 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: that it would actually be more democratic of the Supreme 514 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: Court if they overturned roe v. Wade, because it would 515 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: mean the direct political process would be involved in determining 516 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: whether abortion was going to be legal in your state. 517 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: He's arguing, as part of his comedic monologue, absolute untruth 518 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: and also demonstrating a fundamental misunderstanding of the most elemental 519 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: bases of separation of powers and what the role of 520 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: the court is under our constitution. It's actually far more 521 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: democratic if Roe v. Wade is overturned, because instead of 522 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: unelected judges determining the law of the land, your state 523 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: legislature tours and your governors who you decide whether or 524 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: not to elect every couple of years would make the 525 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: choice instead. That's the very foundation of our democratic process. 526 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: And you've got people running around out there arguing that 527 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: somehow the judges are being anti democratic by allowing the 528 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: American political process to make determinations when it comes to 529 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: issues such as abortion. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of separation 530 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: of powers and what the role of our judiciary is 531 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: in our country. It's got me all fired up. Whether 532 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: you believe that the right of Roe v. Wade, the 533 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: ruling of Roe v. Wade supplemented by planned parenthood versus Casey, 534 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: is correct or not, it is anti democratic to allow 535 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: nine judges to determine what the standard is for whether 536 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: abortion should occur across the entire nation. And I think 537 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: that's what's made abortion politics particularly toxic because instead of 538 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: fifty individual states making their own decisions and you, all 539 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: of you out there deciding whether to vote for or 540 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: against people partly based on their decisions there, we've allowed 541 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: the courts to take this case away from the American public, 542 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: and we've made the courts more toxic, and we've made 543 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: American politics toxic. The answer is actually more democracy all right, 544 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: that's serious. Here's what Stephen Colbert should have been making 545 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: fun of. We got another clip of Brian Kelly, the 546 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: new coach of LSU, used to be at Notre Dame. 547 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: He's been down in LSU for literally a couple of hours, 548 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: and he has developed the worst Southern accent this side 549 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: of Nicholas Cage on Conyer. It's open line Friday. I 550 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: want to have some fun, unlike what they do on 551 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: the Colbert Show on a day to day basis eight 552 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: hundred two eight two two eight eight two. What is 553 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: the worst actor or actress accent that you have ever heard? 554 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: The worst actor or actress accent that you have ever 555 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: heard in a TV show or a movie. Here is 556 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, Notre Dame head football coach at the time, 557 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: basically using the word family. He is from the Northeast. 558 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: He coaches in the Midwest until a couple of days ago, 559 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: until he got one hundred million dollars. I want you 560 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: to listen to the way that he said family when 561 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: he was a Notre Dame coach and compare it to 562 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: the way that he said family when he became the 563 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: coach of the LSU Tigers. This is an unbelievable transformation 564 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: in the space of a few hours. And my family, 565 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: It's a great night to be a Tiger. I'm here 566 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: with my family. We are so excited to be in 567 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: the greatest state of Louisiana. Can you believe that he 568 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: can't say the word family normally in the space of 569 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: a few hours. This is I think this goes well 570 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: beyond the world of sports stupidity, because politicians do this 571 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: all the time too. Do you remember Hillary Clinton? Remember 572 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: when Hillary Clinton would talk to Southerners and she would 573 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: sound like she was born in Jackson, Mississippi and lived 574 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: there for her entire life, as opposed to Chicago, Illinois. 575 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: Now she did marry Bill Clinton lived in Arkansas for 576 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: a while, but it was so transparently fake. It was 577 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: a sign that she was trying to appeal to people 578 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: by being something that she wasn't, which is the exact 579 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: opposite of what we want from our political figures. And 580 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: let's play Brian Kelly one more time open phone lines 581 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: one eight two eight two two eight eight two worst 582 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: accents ever. This is up there with Nick Cage and 583 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: Conair Brian Kelly family in Indiana versus family in Louisiana 584 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: one more time and my family. It's a great guy 585 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: to be a Tiger. I'm here with my family and 586 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: we are so excited to be in the great state 587 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: of Louisiana. Imagine if Buckinger I did this. Like we 588 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: go on the road and we're talking in different cities 589 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: and we used to be from Have you just tuned in, 590 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: and you know Bucks in Milwaukee, And all of a 591 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: sudden he sounds like he's got a brought worst and 592 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, big Colonel of Cheese, and it's uh Is 593 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: sitting in front of him. The whole time, I'm down 594 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: in uh in in in Miami or Louisiana, and suddenly 595 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: I sound like I'm Cajun, our Cuban or whatever it 596 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: might be. This is so ridiculous. When't we come back, 597 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by herschel Walker. He may be 598 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: about out to flip the Senate back to Republicans. Beat 599 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: the Reverend Raphael Warnock in the state of Georgia. If 600 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna join us next this Clay and Buck Show, 601 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: thanks for hanging with us.
