1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show Hamas and

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Israel reaching a hostage negotiation deal that would be a

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: ceasefire that would lead to the release of thirty three hostages.

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: We will see how this continues to play out.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Credit for a ceasefire emerging to Donald Trump. We will

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: see how all of this continues, and we'll take your

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: calls and react to that. We've broken that down in

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the first hour talking about the challenges in LA. The

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: number of people that are finally going to say, Buck,

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm done in California because they're looking around and they're saying,

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: LA can't even put out fires. And I think this

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: is so important. It's the continuing legacy of COVID, where

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there listening to us right now,

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: Buck is one of them, lived in traditional blue states

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: and you finally, because of COVID, got fed up and

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: started living different places to do your job. And you

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: have found out, Hey, I don't have to be in

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: New York or Chicago or LA in order to do

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: my job on the same level. And here's what I

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: think this is indicative of, Buck, And I'm curious if

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: you would buy in because this certainly helps your own

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: personal decision to move from New York to Florida. As

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: you see people and where I live in Tennessee, and

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm a native Tennesseean, but the number of people moving

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: in here have made the state redder. Florida got redder,

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Texas got redder. The people that are leaving California and

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: New York and the Chicago area in Illinois are often

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: the biggest taxpayers in those communities. And when they leave,

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: they don't just uproot their families and potentially their businesses.

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: They take all of their tax dollars out. And when

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: those tax dollars leave, already inefficient governments that are taking

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: a lot of money and not providing very much in

33
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: result become even more inefficient, become even more in debt

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: in how because state budgets have to typically be balanced,

35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: and the quality of life, whether it's putting out fires

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: or picking up garbage or putting criminals in prison, becomes

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: less of a quality of life. And people who have

38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity to leave leave, And here's what I see happening,

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: And I think this is going to be a big

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: legacy story over the next decade plus. All of those

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: places they're moving to. The flywheel becomes virtuous, there's more

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: tax dollars, services get better, the overall quality of life

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: in a place like Texas or Tennessee or Florida skyrockets.

44
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: The overall quality of life in those older places gets worse,

45
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: and it accelerates in getting worse, which then accelerates the

46
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: people who can leave leaving. And I actually think we're

47
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: in a doom spiral in some degree in California, in

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: the Chicago area, and in New York in particular, because

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: people who are paying the taxes are like, I'm out

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: my neighbors. A lot of them are from New York,

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: Chicago area and California. Now they're coming in. They're buying

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: big houses, they're putting their kids in schools, They're flowing

53
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: all of their taxpayer dollars here. And where I live

54
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and I know where you live in Florida, Buck,

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: it actually makes everything better for everybody there and even

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: gives more incentive for people to leave. And I think

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: in both directions that gap is going to continue to grow.

58
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: Yes, and remember there's also the long term implications not

59
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: just of the tax base in terms of what people

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: pay for income tax, but also business investment and long

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: term business growth. You've seen an enormous amount of companies

62
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: and this has been going on for a long time,

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: but particularly moving to Texas, but now more and more

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: are setting up shop or headquarters in Florida and Tennessee.

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: And I think there are other red or redder states

66
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: as well that have been major beneficiaries of this.

67
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: I think you can say Nevada and Arizona a lot

68
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: of Californians. I mean, I thought that it was funny

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: when Adam Carolla said he's relocating his families a lifelong

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Californian to Nevada. Was it our congressman who called in

71
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: when you were caught in traffic on Monday? He's like,

72
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: you're moving to a desert in Nevada from the Garden

73
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: of Eden. Right, It's not only that people are leaving California.

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: It's that California has so many gifts, perfect climate, beautiful location,

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: but it's become so inefficient that people are moving to

76
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: actual deserts in Arizona and Nevada rather than live basically

77
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: in the Garden of Eden in southern California.

78
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we spoke to Ryan Gradusky about this.

79
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: Recently, he's got a great podcast on the Clay and

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: Buck Network about the implications of this continued migration of

81
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: Americans from one state to another for the census and

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: for the apportionment of congressional seats, which is going to

83
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: be very favorable for a lot of these very red

84
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: states because people are moving to the And I just

85
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: think that you've seen too much of what happens when

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: you get to a Democrat political monoculture, when you have

87
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: a one party state, whether it's New York or California,

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: and there are other states as well. It is too

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: much dysfunction, too much of a tax burden, and people

90
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: are are fed up with it. So you know, this

91
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: is the system working. I would just say, this is federalism.

92
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: This is how it is supposed to be. States get

93
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: to do a lot, right, States are left to do

94
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: a lot that has not prescribed for the federal government

95
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: in the Constitution. And people get to move with their

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: feet and with their tax dollars from one state to another.

97
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: And this is it's a bit like creating a market

98
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: system for Americans. Where do you want to live, where

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: do you want to go, Where do you want to be?

100
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: So I think in a sense, this is part of

101
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: the genius of the founding that is working. It just

102
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: means that they're going to be winners and losers within

103
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 3: the states, just like there are winners and losers in

104
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: any free market. And this is the market functioning right,

105
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: This is the way it is supposed to be. We'll

106
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: see if some of these states become a little more

107
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: a little more serious about what they're doing. You see

108
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: that we're gonna have to go back because you made

109
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: quite a prediction, Clay. I didn't want to leave this

110
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: on the cutting room floor. It looks like Andrew Cuomo

111
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: is going to be the next governor, I'm sorry, the

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: next mayor of New York City after This may.

113
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Be the longest form prediction. We need to find the

114
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: audio of me saying this when he resigned or was it.

115
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: Won't be that hard.

116
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: The day the day of the resignation, Clay shouted out

117
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: that that Andrew Cuomo, because he resigned instead of being

118
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: forced out as governor, now is going to make a

119
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: political comeback. And that does seem to be underway. And

120
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: here's what I think. This is why this ties in

121
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: for me, Clay to the red state, blue state phenomenon

122
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: that is so apparent with California right now. I think

123
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: he's just going to come in and do what was

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: the most obvious thing of all, which is make do

125
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: whatever has to be done to bring crime down in

126
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: New York and specifically in New York City. I know

127
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: that's NYPD, but the state government can have a lot

128
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: of you know, there's a lot of money that goes

129
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: into the subway system that state affiliated. I mean, the

130
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: state can do a lot. The state can provide, you know,

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: state troopers if they want to to, you know, help

132
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: help as auxiliaries for the NYPD.

133
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: They bring down crime.

134
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: And then then Cuomo can start to position himself as

135
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: you know, if he becomes mayor as the moderate Democrat alternative,

136
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: and that doesn't just end with him being mayor of

137
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: New York City, everybody he's gonna be talked about the

138
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: politics of personal destruction. I don't think him liking to

139
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: give I like to give a smooch. I like to

140
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: grab ladies sometimes give him a smooch. I don't think

141
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: that's going to stop him from running for president. I

142
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: know this is crazy talk, but it's not.

143
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: If he wins the New York City mayor's race, and

144
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: you can go back, we can find the audio whenever

145
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: that was.

146
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: It is his political comeback.

147
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: It's him saying I was true, did unfairly And to

148
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: your point, New York City basically just needs a new

149
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani to clean up the mess. And if that

150
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: were to happen, he would use that as his springing

151
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: off point to run for president in twenty twenty eight.

152
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: It feels inevitable to me that that's what his plan is.

153
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: Now.

154
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: He could still lose, but there's polls out there that

155
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: show that he would be a prohibited favorite to be

156
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: elected New York City mayor. Here's the challenge Buck on

157
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: all of this. What you just said is the entire

158
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: purpose of federalism that states compete and we use each

159
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: individual state as a laboratory. It's a brilliant concept. It's

160
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: almost like venture capital back in the day. Right, We're

161
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: going to take experiments. Vermont can try something and if

162
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: it works, then New York should do it, and then

163
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: California should do it. Here's the problem I see. In

164
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: order for there to be a course correction, people in

165
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: those states have to recognize that voting for Democrats is

166
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: what created the problem that they have enabled themselves. That's

167
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: the thing to me about California right now. If you're

168
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: looking around and you're listening to us, and we have

169
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: a monster audience north to south, and six million people

170
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: in California voted for Trump, roughly forty some odd percent

171
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: of the state. You guys get it. You're like, my goodness,

172
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm born and raised. This is a beautiful state. It

173
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: gave us Ronald Reagan. It wasn't very long ago that

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor. Pete Wilson. You may not

175
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: love them, but there used to be a vibrant Republican

176
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Party Richard Nixon that came out of California. So there

177
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: is a long history in your Belinda and in Orange

178
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: County with Nixon and with Reagan and all of those histories.

179
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: What makes Californians look in the mirror and say, we

180
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: can't even put fires out now? Who are voting Democrat?

181
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Forty percent of y'all are listening to me right now,

182
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, preach, you're preaching to the choir clay.

183
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: But in order for things to really change, the sixty

184
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: percent of people that showed up and voted for Kamala

185
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Harris and thanked the Lord. As you watch those fires burn,

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: can you imagine if we had a California Democrat like

187
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris DEEI never really accomplished anything suddenly in charge

188
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: of the whole nation, like Karen bass Is in charge

189
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: of LA.

190
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: We dodged a bullet.

191
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Trump dodged a bullet, think the Lord, or else he

192
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: would be dead and the whole country would have been screwed.

193
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: But what is the solution here?

194
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: It requires California Democrats to look in the mirror and say,

195
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: we caused this. It's almost like they have to have

196
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: But the analogy we made is like alcoholics have to

197
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: recognize that they're the alcoholic everybody else can see it.

198
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: Drug addicts have to say that their drug addicts in

199
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: order to change their behavior. Democrat voters have to look

200
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: in the mirror and be like, we cause this. We

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: have put in place a government that can't put fires out.

202
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: We have to fix this. Are they willing to do so?

203
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Or is their personal branding so connected to the Democrat

204
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: Party that they won't make rational changes?

205
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: You know, It's it's interesting as well, there's a there's.

206
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: A an old kind of political joke or trope about

207
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 4: how the moment you want to cut anything, it's fire

208
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: it's always firemen first, right, meaning that, oh, you want

209
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 4: to mess with the city budget, I guess you don't

210
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: want anyone to arrive when the firefighters need to be there.

211
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: And that's how you shut down any talk about government

212
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: spending or cuts. You know, this is how big government

213
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: kind of emotionally or or psychologically holds people, holds populations

214
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: captive firemen like, this is what you get to the

215
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: very most baseline things you expect government to be able

216
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: to do and what we pay taxes for. Uh, police

217
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 3: and I think are the two first things that come

218
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: to mind, right, because you know, you need to not

219
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: have the purge out there. You can't have anarchy in

220
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: the streets, people stealing your stuff, hurting you, et cetera.

221
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: And you also can't just have people's whole neighborhoods burning down.

222
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: You know, these are some of the first things if

223
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: you go back to like the early Dutch settlement in

224
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: America on you know, the bottom of Manhattan, right, if

225
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: you go back then, what are things that they would

226
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: have set up right away, probably like a night watch,

227
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: police and fire. You know, fire comes very early on.

228
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 3: So when you can't do that even close to effective enough,

229
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: it forces that most important of questions, what would you

230
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: say you do here, Los Angeles government? What would you

231
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: say you do other than take our money? Other than

232
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 3: make it legal to steal in you know, CVS and

233
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: Dwayne Reid?

234
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you understand my thought? Are they going to recognize

235
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: that they caused the problem, that their addiction to the

236
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: Democrat Party has created a situation where they can't put

237
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: out fires. That's what has to happen in New York,

238
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: but in California, in particular in Illinois they all moved

239
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: red compared to twenty twenty. But you actually have to

240
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: start putting people who are competent in charge, and that

241
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: means you have to recognize that you created the problem.

242
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that they have the self realization yet.

243
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Have things gotten bad enough for them to be like, hey,

244
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: we totally screwed this up. It's time for change.

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: Birch Gold Group makes the case for investing a portion

246
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: of your savings in four oh one K into gold.

247
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 3: They point out the increase in the value of gold

248
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: as compared to the shrinking value of the US dollar,

249
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: and this is just public information. You can go and

250
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: take an Internet search yourself to see what gold has

251
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: done in recent years and what inflation has been in

252
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: recent years against the dollar.

253
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example.

254
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: After Jim retired a couple of years ago, he heard

255
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: us discussing from Birch Gold Group.

256
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: He gave them a call. He said.

257
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 3: Birch Gold was extremely helpful in explaining the process, and

258
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: Jim made his first purchase of gold in his accounts.

259
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: Four months later, he rolled over more money into his IRA.

260
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: Jim says his only regret is he didn't do this

261
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: years ago. Now it's your turn to reach out to

Speaker 1: just on the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast.

272
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: On the health front.

273
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: We got some news here today. We're just talking about it.

274
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: Don't worry, Clay. To the best of my knowledge, your

275
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: beloved Mountain dew.

276
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: Will remain untouched, sir uh.

277
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: But because it's not red but red dye number three

278
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: has now been banned by the FDA.

279
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: It's in. I'm trying to find a list of some

280
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: things that it's in. It's in some.

281
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: Really kind of you know, low end candy. I'm trying

282
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: to see what else it's in. A little it's like, yeah,

283
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a whole list of foods that you who.

284
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: Strawberry drink you Who. First of all, I've never I

285
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: was a look Nestley quick will make you gain weight

286
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: really fast. But it is delicious. But at least it's

287
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: chocolate milk. Chocolate drink has never been something I could

288
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: get excited about. And strawberry chocolate drink from you Who

289
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: is not. But that was one that had it. They're

290
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: a bunch of them. But this is, I suppose, Clay,

291
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: another thing that is occurring, perhaps in advance of the

292
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: Trump team coming in because RFK Junior not a fan

293
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: of these diyes that have been linked in lab studies

294
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: to being carcinogens.

295
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: This is not gonna surprise anybody. I'm not the most

296
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: healthy eater on the planet. I think many of you

297
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: can tell by looking at me. But I do think

298
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: that one of the challenges we have about objects and

299
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: food materials and food and everything else is there's so

300
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: much noise. It's hard to know what rational decisions a

301
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: normal person should make in terms of what to eat

302
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: what's healthy. Here's what I will say, and I do

303
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: think it's always interesting. And I bet some of you

304
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: have experienced this, and you may have even experienced it

305
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: buck when you were just overseas in Spain.

306
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: You go overseas and you eat massive.

307
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: Amounts of food, right like I went to Italy and

308
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: pasta pasta, pasta galore, and I asked to come back.

309
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Don't weigh anything different? And now part of that is

310
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: I think you walk more in Europe, and that's one

311
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: reason Europeans are able to eat more. That certainly factors in.

312
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: But I talked to one of the Italian cooks and

313
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: he said, oh, the European rules about what we can

314
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: use here to cook is actually way healthier than the

315
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: United States, even when it's something like pasta. The wheat,

316
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: for instance, that's used in Italian pasta is very different

317
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: than the wheat that's used in American pasta, and as

318
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: a result, Italians are eating a health according to him,

319
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: a healthier version of pasta. And if you walk around

320
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: in Italy, most people eat a lot. They're nowhere near

321
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: as fat as the average American. Now again, I think

322
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: again the walk around factor of Europe. They definitely move

323
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: more than Americans, but I don't think they go to

324
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: the gym more. It's not like I've been there.

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: I've been counting calories and watching steps for a few

326
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: months now and it has been eye opening. And particularly

327
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 3: people get a lot fewer steps than they think. And

328
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: you want to make a real habit walking every day

329
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: and not for five minutes, for like thirty minutes.

330
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: Or more every day is really important. Makes a big difference.

331
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: You can switch your cell phone service to pure Talk

332
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: right now from your current cell phone service save as

333
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: much as one thousand bucks a year. You'll still be

334
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: getting the same quality of cell phone service. That's because

335
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Pure Talk service on the same tours and network is

336
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: one of the big wireless companies providing you with the

337
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: exact same five G network nationwide service. But there's no

338
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: need to spend eighty five or one hundred bucks per

339
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: person per month on your wireless bill. Instead, thirty five

340
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: bucks a month with Puretalk unlimited talk, text, fifteen gigs

341
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: of data, mobile hotspot just thirty five bucks a month.

342
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Family of four can save one thousand dollars a year

343
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: with Puretalk while enjoying America's most dependable five G network.

344
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: My kids are on Pure Talks network, my fourteen year old,

345
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: my sixteen year old. I trust them to keep in

00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: touch with me through Pure Talk. You can do the same,

347
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,040

00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: all you have to do from your cell phone pound

349
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: two five zero, say Clay and Buck. That's pound two

350
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: five zero say Clay and Buck. Appreciate all of you.

351
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: All right, we got some old school audio. Buck, let's

352
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: have some fun with this. This was not long after

353
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: we restarted, restarted, after we started as hosts.

354
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: On this show.

355
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: This is producer Greg has tracked this down from August

356
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: tenth of twenty twenty one. And by the way, there

357
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: was a poll up. I put up the poll. Do

358
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: you think Andrew Cuomo will ever run for political office again.

359
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Polls out with Andrew Cuomo at the top of the

360
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: New York City mayor's race, which will happen this year,

361
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: and the expectation that Cuomo is going to run for

362
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: New York City mayor. Back then, thirty thousand of you voted.

363
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: This is August tenth, of twenty twenty one, sixty one

364
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: percent of you said Andrew Cuomo will never run for

365
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: political office again, So big majority in that poll. Here

366
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: is Buck and I's discussion of that from back on

367
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: August tenth, twenty twenty one.

368
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't even remember exactly what we said.

369
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Listen, I think the only way it makes sense because

370
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: your point is a good one. He laid out for

371
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: people who didn't hear it, a very detailed defense against

372
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: all of the allegations of sexual harassment that have been

373
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: put forward against him. And then at the very end,

374
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: and he may have handwritten this, he may have added

375
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: it at the last minute. He decided that he was

376
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: going to resign after he had already made his defense.

377
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: Why would he do that to me? The only possibility,

378
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: the only possibility is he's trying to set the table.

379
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: To be able to come back.

380
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was the discussion, and now it does

381
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: appear even though he resigned and gave up the governor's office.

382
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: I think, Buck, we're talking about who's going to be

383
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: the face of the Democrat Party. If Andrew Cuomo wins

384
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: the New York City mayor's race and does, as you said,

385
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: just a reasonably efficient job of putting people in prison

386
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: and making the streets safer and solving some of the

387
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: migrant crisis and everything else in the city. He's going

388
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: to run for president of the United States in twenty

389
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight and argue he fixed New York City.

390
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 3: He is a name that people know, and this will

391
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: be something that gets me very fired off because I

392
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 3: think that there's not nearly enough opprobrium. I think that

393
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: people should remember that Cuomo was absolutely horrifyingly stupid and

394
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: tyrannical during COVID. He was wrong on everything. He would

395
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: have the remember the conference the press commerce and be like,

396
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: we need more ventilators. We need to get a million ventilators.

397
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: Let me let me tell you what I mean by ventilata.

398
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: I need a system that will open your lungs with air.

399
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 3: And we would sit there during COVID and just hear

400
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: him do this over and over every day. The ventilators

401
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 3: actually ended up being far more dangerous to people than

402
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: they were helpful to people. That's part one, Part two.

403
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: He was the guy who came up with Cuomo chips.

404
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't know this, Clay. You didn't have to deal

405
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: with this madness. They they had these rules. They closed

406
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 3: bars early in New York, and they would have this

407
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: rule that you couldn't sit at a bar just to drink.

408
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: You had to also order food. So bars to comply

409
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: with this idiotic rule started to have a dollar of

410
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: like chips or pretzels or something that they would also

411
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: give you to qualify it as food. What does any

412
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: of that have to do with stopping the spread of

413
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: an aerosolized virus. Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. But Cuomo was

414
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: the COVID emperor in New York for a while, you know,

415
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: very draconian shutdown, very draconian regulations. He was an absolute menace,

416
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 3: and they got rid of him. Not for that and

417
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: not for you know, sending the people back into the

418
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: nursing homes with who still had active COVID and no, no,

419
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: they got rid of him because they said that he

420
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: was kind of handsy with the like female state troops

421
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: and staff. Right, yeah, so and then he remember he

422
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: did the whole thing and he was like, I am atallion.

423
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes I like to give a kiss. Sometimes the kiss

424
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: is on the face, the.

425
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: Cheek, the forehead.

426
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: And he did this whole press conference about how he

427
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: liked to grab people.

428
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: You're gonna appreciate this.

429
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of COVID failures of Andrew Cuomo, who maybe the

430
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: next mayor of New York City, did you I don't

431
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: know if you've seen this. LA County Public Health just

432
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: made an announcement in the last day. They said, and

433
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm quoting, please do not wear cloth or paper masks.

434
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: They don't filter out find particles or ash. Talking about

435
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: people in the aftermath of the fire. These are the

436
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: same people that said wearing a mask would keep you

437
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: from getting COVID. Now they are saying the mask don't

438
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: actually filter out find particles or ash. Again, coming back

439
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: to LA being run by morons. They spit years in

440
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: LA insisting that you have to wear a mask. Even now,

441
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: I think some hospitals in California are requiring you to

442
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: wear masks to enter, and now they're saying, Hey, they

443
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: don't actually work, so it doesn't make much sense when

444
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: you're walking around in a burned out community those masks

445
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: don't work.

446
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you think they worked for COVID. Of course not.

447
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: All the evidence has been clear for years that it

448
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: didn't work. I just think saying that in relation to

449
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: the fire is just perfect, like kind of a capstone

450
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: on the stupidity of the leadership.

451
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: Yep, but Cuomo is a name, he's been governor of

452
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: New York. I think that he'll find a fair amount

453
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: of sympathy for from both the center and the center right,

454
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 3: even for kind of getting meat tooed, but on very

455
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: uh me grounds, flimsy stuff, you know. I mean, just

456
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: because someone's a Democrat doesn't mean I'd be like, yeah,

457
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: that's right, get him.

458
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how dare you touch someone's stomach

459
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: as you passed them in all hallway?

460
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: You you rapist? Right?

461
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: This is kind of what we were talking about with

462
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: the collapse of me too in general yesterday going after

463
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: hag Seth. The whole me too era has collapsed. But

464
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: we're back to basically what Matt Damon got harangued for,

465
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: which is, hey, you know, there's a difference between slapping

466
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: somebody on the ass in a bar and raping them.

467
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: And we shouldn't treat every single aspect of allegation as

468
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: the same. And remember he got totally ripped and you

469
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: pointed out as reclined. I think it was said, even

470
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: if some people who are one hundred percent innocent go

471
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: down for me too, that's justice, which is crazy tall.

472
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: It's the price we have to pay to set things

473
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: right as a society. Very communist logic, by the way.

474
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: You know, you got to you gotta do whatever you

475
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: gotta do to get to the glorious revolution. But Cuomo

476
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 3: is out at like a thirty let me see, I'm

477
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: looking at the poll here, thirty two percent. I think

478
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 3: he was thirty two rousing everybody else in the hole.

479
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: Who was in second place, Scott Stringer, who's the city comptroller,

480
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: ten percent, and then a bunch of other state center

481
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: I mean total kind of nor Adams six percent, right,

482
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: the current city mayor. That's the one that really shocked everybody.

483
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 3: Eric Adams has done. Look, he just wasn't he just

484
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: wasn't up for this. You know, he's just not He's

485
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: not a competent enough administrator I don't think he's a

486
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: bad guy. We've invited him on the show. He's a Democrat,

487
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: but I think he's a well intentioned democrat. But he's

488
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: not capable of leading an institute, not capable leading a

489
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: machine the size of the New York City bureaucracy. He

490
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: got everything wrong with COVID. How do you think Andrew

491
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: Cuomo is a lifelong New York City guy?

492
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: Would do as mayor? I think that he would be.

493
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 3: He'd be very donor friendly, very media, you know, media,

494
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: real media hound, right, would want to just be around

495
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: the media all the time. So you know, he'd probably be.

496
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: You know, he's considered a really nasty person. I mean,

497
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: his his his reputation in New York politics is that

498
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: he's a really mean guy. He's a grudge guy, yes, right,

499
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: grudge guy like he will if you don't do what

500
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: he wants, he'll remember in years later, you know, he'll

501
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: like slash the budget for your town. Exact opposite of

502
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: what we talked about with Trump, where Trump like is

503
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: the for all the criticism you give him, has like

504
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: no keeping of grudges, right, Whereas Cuomo having said that,

505
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: don't you think he's probably the best of those options. Yeah,

506
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that he probably is the best

507
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: of the possibilities that people are thinking about for New

508
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: York right now. But that's more of just a reflection

509
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: on what an insane asylum New York City politics has

510
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: become instead of of his particular Look, he's a NEPO baby. Okay,

511
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 3: it's because his dad, Mary O. Cuomo was governor that

512
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: he became the governor. He's not some big impressive guy,

513
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: so you know, remember that. But yeah, he might end

514
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: up becoming This is interesting on a number levels because

515
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 3: it ties into the blue red state thing we're talking up,

516
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: but also the Democrat you know, the next step, the

517
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: sort of the next tranch of Democrat leadership. I think

518
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: Cuomo sees there's a huge opening. There's a huge opening

519
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 3: to not only be the mayor of New York, but

520
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: to be a mayor of New York who is part

521
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: of a more sane Democrat party going forward, which I

522
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: think is going to be what they try to position themselves.

523
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: A Democrat party that tries to appeal to the working

524
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: class again, a Democrat.

525
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Party that you know, is an anti business.

526
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: So aggressively, whether that's true or not, I think that's

527
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: how they're going to try to position themselves.

528
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Here's something to think about, you know, you talk about

529
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: parallel worlds or alternative universes. If Cuomo doesn't get brought

530
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: down by sexual harassment, does he challenge Joe Biden in

531
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty presidential cycle.

532
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: I think he was gearing up for that. I mean,

533
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 3: I think that there was a real feeling that he

534
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: was the ascendant Democrat from within their Ranksman. I remember

535
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: this very well because I was following it closely as

536
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: a new y orcer at the time when when he

537
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: first came to prominence during COVID and a national There's

538
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: a reason he was holding those press conferences, right, he

539
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: was trying to become It was really at one point,

540
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: Fauci and Cuomo were the two and this was under

541
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: the Trump administration, but Fauci and Cuomo were the two

542
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: omnipresent voices on COVID that would be on TV all

543
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: the time. So I think he loved the attention, just

544
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: like little Fauci. Uh And I think that he thought

545
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: that this was a way to become a national level

546
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: political figure.

547
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: And I bet if he were on we should invite

548
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: him on I don't know that he'll come on, but

549
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: we should invite him on the show, like we invited

550
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: Eric Adams on. But I bet I bet he would

551
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: say if he were being honest, I think he thinks

552
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: the hit came from Biden, Like I think he thinks

553
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: the reason that sexual harassment all like emerged. I think

554
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: I bet that he thinks that hit was ordered by

555
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: the Biden team to try to take him out. Now,

556
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: whether that's it's true or not, I don't know, but

557
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: it is interesting that he would get taken out as

558
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: like the last casualty of me too kind of right,

559
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: because who else can you point to and say and

560
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: for a very very minor transgression of general purposes? Right,

561
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: Like I don't disagree with him that he is Italian

562
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: and he probably is handsy, and you know who else

563
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden by the way, But I don't think

564
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: it was like It's not.

565
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: Like he got accused of rape.

566
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he got accused of inappropriately touching like the

567
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: stomach and the hip of somebody as he walked past.

568
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's crazy town.

569
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

570
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: I remember thinking I can't believe that this is what's

571
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: actually bringing this guy down. He should be drummed out

572
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: of office for being horrible on code. We're sending everybody

573
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: into the nursing homes. That's the scandal for him during

574
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: COVID and making the awful decision that accelerated the death

575
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 3: rates and lying about it, and that's where he should

576
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: have gotten lost. He also got like a four or

577
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: five million dollar book advance. Oh yeah, that time, which

578
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: is a massive book advance. That is a this person

579
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: we think is going to run for president book advance

580
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: from the publisher side.

581
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: Also, just this is big picture.

582
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: You can make millions of dollars writing a book, but

583
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: you can't do radio and be a politician. How does

584
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: that rationalize itself in the modern era in which we're

585
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: in that your First Amendment rights are considered restricted if

586
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you run for office and you aren't allowed to write

587
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: a book, But your First Amendment rights are not considered

588
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: restricted if you want to do radio and run for

589
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: political office.

590
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting claim. I'm just looking back at

591
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: this now.

592
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: And Biden, Biden came for president, Biden called from a

593
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 3: step down, Biden shoved in.

594
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying this. There was an internal hit

595
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: for dental hit job.

596
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: I think they came after him because they thought he

597
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: was going to run against Biden and they decided they

598
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: were going to take him out. I really do amazing

599
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: that he was their He was the third term governor

600
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: at the time when they finally were aised and he

601
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: would have won reelection. He would have won reelection in

602
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, right, that's when he would have been

603
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: up again. So again, if I'm Cuomo, and I think

604
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: you're seeing it a little bit from his brother Chris,

605
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: who now is somewhat saying now that he's left the

606
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: CNN in saying asylum like he's kind of refreshed himself,

607
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: and I think he's somewhat honest at News Nation. I

608
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: think that family believes that the Biden team ordered the

609
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: hit on him, and that's one of the motivations for

610
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: him coming back. So anyway, that's a story to follow

611
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: this year because New York City, along with Virginia for

612
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: the governor, in New Jersey for the governor new York

613
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: City mayors, I would say one of the three primary

614
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: elections that's going to take place this year. Ah. Look,

615
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: when a cy cyber hacker steals your identity, it's a nightmare.

616
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: Worst part, you might not know about it for days

617
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: or even weeks. By then it's too late. Important to

618
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: understand how cyber crime and identity theft affect our lives.

619
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: Having Lifelocks online identity theft protection one way to protect

620
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: yourself their online systems. Look for new account openings and

621
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: alert you when something seems off. If you do become

622

00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: Welcome back in here to play and Buck We've got

637
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 3: we were talking here about Cuomo Andrew Cuomo and how

638
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: he is among those that we see as likely to

639
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 3: be part of the Democrat leadership going forward and going

640
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: back to memory Lane, Clay said, right when he resigned,

641
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 3: he's going to run again. Now, technically I don't think

642
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 3: he is. Has he already announced his run. I think

643
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: he's not in.

644
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: He's raising money and basically making the calls that would

645
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: occur if someone were going to run.

646
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: And I think it's hard for somebody like him, who

647
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure is could be, could be easily qualified as

648
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: an egomaniac to see how well he's doing in polls

649
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 3: before he's even announced. And not think I'm going to

650
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: be the mayor of New York City. I do think

651
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 3: he'll probably be a bit, probably be better than Eric

652
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: Adams in the job. Not I think Eric Adams is

653
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 3: as a more likable person, but I think that Cuomo

654
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 3: is probably going to be more competent in that role

655
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: at three term governor of New York State. But Clay,

656
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: we shall see, we shall see something else. So I

657
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: just want to throw your way because I'm wondering how

658
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: you feel about this. Did you see that tipping is

659
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: going down?

660
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: More and more now.

661
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I did a backlash, backlash Wall Street Journal

662
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 3: writing about this backlash from everyone getting sick of not

663
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: only do they do the flip the thing around when

664
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 3: you get you know coffee now, which you should all

665
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: have a drinking crack at coffee. Go to cracket coffee

666
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: dot com, save yourself some money. Don't pay eight dollars

667
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 3: for burnt coffee at Starbucks. But Clay, Now, when you

668
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 3: go to a lot of restaurants, they bring this mobile

669
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: credit card thing to your seat and watch as you

670
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 3: choose their tip in real time.

671
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that tipping culture has gotten out of control.

672
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: And I read about this and the read I think

673
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal had a big piece that said

674
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: they can track what rates of tipping are, and rates

675
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: of tipping have begun to decline. In other words, people

676
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: are getting the sense that they're being harassed far too often.

677
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: And I always overtip because of what do I think, Hey,

678
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: this person may be a listener, or this person may

679
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: be like I don't want somebody to be like Klay

680
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: Travis stiff me on a tip.

681
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 2: But even I.

682
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: When I pick up food, I'm like, what is the

683
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: rate that I should tip somebody for me walking in

684
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: and picking up food, like I feel bad going zero

685
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: and just lining through it.

686
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: But we are way over.

687
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: Tipped right now as a nation and it has to

688
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: be rectified in some form or fashion.

689
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: Takeout food for me, I feel like it depends on

690
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 3: the size of the order, if it's more, if it's

691
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: one thing, like if you're getting just like fish and

692
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: chips in a little you know, do you really give

693
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: a tip on the takeout?

694
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. That strikes me as what's the point

695
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: of service charges? Then? Well, good point
