1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: Before I discuss the items in the news, particularly as 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 2: they relate to Donald Trump being on the ballot, or 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: at least the latest update, this is going to be 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: an ongoing battle through November fifth. First, a quick story 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: before anyone rings the show to give a little structure 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: to the calls and the show today. About maybe two 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 2: years ago, I was so in Houston. I do a 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 2: show that is eight am to eleven am Central, and 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: then another one from five pm to seven pm. So 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: I have a gap between eleven am when we finished 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: the morning show and five pm when we start the 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: evening show, of six hours, and that's usually when I 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: go visit my show sponsors, play pick a ball, work out, 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: go to the house, hang out with my wife, smoke 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: a cigar. It's my six hours to get the things 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: done that you would normally do if you get off 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: work at five in the e. But I'm on the air. 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: So that particular day, I have driven out by an 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: hour outside of town to meet with a show sponsor, 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: and then I'm driving back and during that hour drive 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: I would normally listen to a podcast or a book 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: on tape, and I particularly enjoy books on tape now 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: if I have a long drive, I look forward to it. 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: Walter Isaacson's elon Musk for instance, for instance, and his 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: book on Steve Jobs as well. But that particular day, 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: I was really troubled. I'd finished the morning show, and 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: I think talk show hosts have to be careful, and 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: Rush was the best at this at keeping a certain 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: levity to things and not getting not preaching all day 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: long that it's the end of the world, because you'll 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: send yourself into a spiral of depression, and that doesn't 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: make you a more informed, engaged, aware citizens, sort of 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: the anti woke other end of the extreme. It tends 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: to cause people to eject from the battle. You need 37 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: your troops engage day in and day out. Catch more 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: bees with honey. You watch these World War II documentaries 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: that Netflix has so many of now, and you can 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: go to YouTube and get plenty more, and you see 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: how the troops, the service members are playing cards the 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: night before the big battle. You see the things they're 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: doing to take their mind off of it, because they 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: understand it's a marathon, it's not a sprint, so that 45 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 2: particular day, I finished the morning show and I'm trying 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: to clear my head, and it felt like every story 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: was I don't want to say depressing me, but it 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: was really bugging me. And I started thinking to myself, 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: is nothing that I was raised to believe still considered true? Now? 50 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: My truth is the truth, and don't believe people have 51 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: their own truth. If John thinks he's a girl, he 52 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 2: isn't all of a sudden Jill. He can call himself Jill. 53 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call him Jill. And he can have 54 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: his teachers and counselors and maybe somebody on TV call 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: him Jill and mostly no harm done. But that's never 56 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: the end of it, is it. It's always about demanding 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: that you call him Jill, because it's not even really 58 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: about his reproductive organs or his pronouns. It's about control, 59 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: always has been, always will be. It's about control of 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: the individual, control of the economy, control of who gets 61 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: into school and who doesn't, control of who gets the 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: job and who doesn't, Control of who gets to keep 63 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: the money, whatever that may be, and who doesn't and 64 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: how much of it, Who gets to come and go 65 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: as they wish and who doesn't. Who gets to control 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: whether you take a shot or not, and whether you 67 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: can then have a job as a result of that 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: or not, and on and on and on. But that 69 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: particular day, I was bothered, and I don't normally let 70 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: myself do that. I try to keep some silliness to 71 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: the show and to my life, to keep a perspective 72 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: because I'm also a husband, I'm also a dad. I'm 73 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: also a son to my parents, who are seventy eight 74 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: and eighty three. I like to be able to call 75 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: them in a good mood, not call and be depressed. 76 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: So I see that as sort of, you know, the 77 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: way an athlete stays in training shape. That's what I 78 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: see as my way to do that. So I decided 79 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: that what I was going to do, the way every 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: good Christian should, is to fall back on my learning 81 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: and my truth, because my truth is the truth, and 82 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: I know that to be true. And I fell back 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: on things that I could say to myself that I 84 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: know to be true, that it doesn't matter what anyone 85 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: else says, They're still true. And so I said, let 86 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: me start simple, and I started saying I truly believe that, 87 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: and I started stating things that I truly believe that 88 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: were unequivocal for me, that there is no breaking news 89 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: story that this is. You know, Pluto's not a not 90 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: a planet. Okay, well, I've never really put a lot 91 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: of stock into that. I guess you can change that 92 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: if you want. I started thinking about things that I 93 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: truly believe, and as I drove along and I stated 94 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: simple things and silly things, I found that I didn't 95 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: need to care what other people thought. I found that 96 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: stating truth and honesty gave me comfort because I don't 97 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: believe the world changes just because other people have opinions, 98 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: facts or facts. As Andrew Breitbart used to say, you 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: can have your own opinions, but you can't have your facts. 100 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: Facts don't care about your feelings. And it's true. A 101 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: fact is a fact. Gravity is a fact. You can 102 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: wish it not to be the case. You can identify 103 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: as a person who lives in a non gravitational planet, 104 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 2: but I can drop something from five feet above your 105 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: head and it's going to split it wide open whatever 106 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 2: you identify as. So what I'd like to do today, 107 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: take a moment. I want you to really compose in 108 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: your mind something that you believe to be true. And 109 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: when you call in and you talk to Mark Crash, 110 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: I want you to say, I truly believe that it 111 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: can be more than one thing, but I want you 112 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: to do them one at a time, and I'll either 113 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: keep you on to explain it or ask you if 114 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: you have another and we'll move to the next. But 115 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: I want you to rehearse it in your mind. I 116 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: truly believe that. So I sat down before the shitted, 117 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: took a few minutes, and I wrote a few I 118 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 2: truly believes. For me, I truly believe, and this means 119 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: nothing anyone can say changes my mind. I truly believe 120 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: that elected officials should not be able to trade stocks 121 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: full stop. End of story. I truly believe that elected 122 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,679 Speaker 2: officials should not be able to lobby, nor should their husbands, wives, parents, 123 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: or children for five years after they leave elected office. 124 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: I truly believe that doubling the pay of elected officials 125 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: while prohibiting any outside income from books, speeches, or other deals, 126 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: would improve our government. I truly believe that bad decisions 127 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: lead to poverty, not race. I truly believe that a 128 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: flat tax would reduce government corruption and dramatically improve our economy. 129 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: I truly believe that Freddie Mercury is the greatest gay 130 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: rock star. I truly believe that Leonard skinnerd is the 131 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: greatest American band of all time. Believe that homeschooled kids 132 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: turn out better in life than government schooled kids. And 133 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: I truly believe that cops are good people who try 134 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: hard to serve and protect. I'm not open to arguing 135 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: those things. That's what I truly believe. Now, when you call, 136 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna talk to our producer, and I want you 137 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: to state it in exactly those terms. Don't ask how 138 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: they're doing, don't ask how I'm doing. I'm doing fine, 139 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: You're doing fine. I want when I go to you, 140 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: I'll say, Bob in Minnesota, what do you truly believe? 141 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: And at that moment you will pause and say, I 142 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: truly believe that whatever it may be, it could be silly, 143 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 2: it could be serious. And that's how the calls will go. Now, 144 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: while you're doing that one eight hundred two eight two 145 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: two eight eight two one eight hundred two eight two 146 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: two eight eight two one eight hundred two eight two 147 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: two eight eight two, I do need to get to 148 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: something that is that Donald Trump will be on the 149 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: Colorado ballot. Now, I want you to realize that every 150 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 2: news organization it said Trump's off the ballot in Colorado. 151 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: I either didn't know but should have, or knew and 152 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: was hiding the fact that there was never a moment 153 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: he wasn't going to be on the ballot. If you 154 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: actually read the opinion, they said by their own ruling 155 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: that they stayed their own ruling, should he appeal it? 156 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: And he did appeal it. And therefore, guess what, January fourth, 157 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: the last day to file, He'll be on the ballot. 158 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: In March fifth, Super Tuesday, he'll be on the ballot, 159 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: and guess what he'll win Colorado. It's just what's going 160 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: to happen. And it will have helped him that he 161 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: got all this attention. And imagine trying to be nicky 162 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: Haley or Ron de Santis and honestly, earnestly trying to 163 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: run a campaign based on what you would do as 164 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: you have no chance. So the left is actually helping 165 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Now, some people will say, see, that's how 166 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: you can't let this happen, because they're actually trying to 167 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 2: ensure it's Donald Trump. That's not true. The left is 168 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: not hoping it'll be Donald Trump. Don't let him fe now, 169 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: they're just they're trying to twist up what you think. 170 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 2: You decide what you truly believe, and you go with it. 171 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: But in Maine, the Secretary of State, this little she 172 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: reminds me of the county judge and Harris County. That 173 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: won't mean anything to most of you, but for our 174 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: home audience it will. This impish, little, churlish little child. 175 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: She wants to be famous. And how does she do it? Well? 176 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: She decides that she will be the interpreter of the 177 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 2: fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was passed 178 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: shortly after the Civil War. And what is and isn't 179 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: an insurrection? By the way, Congress decided it wasn't. The 180 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: Senate struck down a conviction on that basis. But she's 181 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: all of a sudden you to take that upon herself 182 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: for the state of Maine. Here is what she had 183 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: to say. 184 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: Again, I am so mindful, and I said this in 185 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: my decision, that it is unprecedented. No secretary of State 186 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: has ever deprived of presidential candidate of ballot access based 187 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: on Section three of the fourteen Amendment. But no presidential 188 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: candidate has ever engaged insurrection and been disqualified under section 189 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: three at the fourteenth Amendment. 190 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: We will discuss that and get to your I truly 191 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 2: believe calls.

We're playing a little I truly 243 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: believe a goofy game I made up a couple of 244 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: years ago that gives me some comfort to simply remind 245 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: myself of the rock upon which I stand. My faith, 246 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: my fatherhood, my marriage, my patriotism, my love of orderliness 247 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: in all things, my belief in opportunity over DEI these 248 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: things give me comfort because the world is shifting sands, 249 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: but my beliefs are not. It never will be. A 250 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: jury can decide to acquit OJ Simpson, but I know 251 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: he's guilty, and in that I find comfort and solace 252 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: and I don't let the world make me crazy.

So it's one 254 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: eight hundred eight two two eight eight two Before we 255 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: get to that. I want to get to this and 256 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: move past it. This will be over turned in the 257 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,359 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. I feel certain they'll take this up. They'll 258 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: grant cert quickly, and they will overrule this because you 259 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: do not want the Supreme Court is mindful. You do 260 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: not want every secretary of state in all fifty states 261 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: to be determining whether Trump can be on the ballot, 262 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: or for that matter, Joe Biden or anyone else. It 263 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: is not for them to do. And we'll get to that. 264 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: But here again, let me play this again. We played 265 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: it before, and then we'll get to your calls. This 266 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 2: is the little impish secretary of state. Look, this is 267 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: her wanting to be the next Alexandria Casio Cortes and 268 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: be on the front page of some magazine because liberal 269 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: organizations will tell her she's great. Listen to her again. 270 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: I am so mindful, and I said this in my 271 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: decision that it is unprecedented. No secretary of State has 272 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 3: ever deprived of presidential candidate of ballot access based on 273 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 3: section three of the fourteenth Amendment. But no presidential candidate 274 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 3: has ever engaged in surrection and then disqualified under section 275 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 3: three at the fourteenth Amendment. 276 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: She's determining that he's disqualified. Committing insurrection is an adjudication. 277 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: She's not authorized to do that. But you know, listening 278 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: to her speak again, can you give us just a 279 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 2: few more seconds, just the beginning of that again, crash, 280 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: just the very beginning again. 281 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: I am so mindful, and I said this in my 282 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: decision that it is unprecedented new secretaries that'll do. 283 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: You're driving us both crazy. 284 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: You know. 285 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 2: What she does is known as the high rising terminal. 286 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: I got an alarm going off. I'll cut it off 287 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: in a minute. It's also known as rising inflection or 288 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: up speak or up talk or high rising intonation. It's 289 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: a speech pattern that you probably most know of. 290 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 6: From the movie Clueless in nineteen ninety five, which was 291 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 6: a modern Beverly Hills interpretation of Jane Austen's novel Emma, 292 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 6: which came out in eighteen fifteen, but Clueless came out 293 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety five. 294 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 2: We expect to hear this from teenage girls, but elected officials. 295 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: There were the Valley Girls in the eighties, and who 296 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: can forget Alicia Silverstone in Clueless in the nineties. Go 297 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: ahead and I'll fix that alarm. 298 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 7: Okay, Like right now, for example, the Haydians need to 299 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 7: come to America, but some people are all, what about 300 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 7: the strain on our resources? That It's like when I 301 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 7: had this garden party for my father's birthday, right, I 302 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 7: said our SVP because it was to sit down dinner, 303 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 7: but people came that like did not RSVP. So I 304 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 7: was like totally bugging, But by the end of the 305 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 7: day it was like the more the merrier. And so 306 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 7: if the government could just get to the kitchen rearrange 307 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 7: some things, we could certainly party with the Haydens. And 308 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 7: in conclusion, I remind. 309 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 8: You that it does not say r SVP on the 310 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 8: Statue of Liberty. 311 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 4: Amber reply, mister Hall, how can I answer that the 312 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: topic is Haiti and she's. 313 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 9: Talking about some little party. 314 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 8: Hello, it was his fiftieth birthday. 315 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: Whatever.

What do you truly believe? 363 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 9: I truly believe if every family household with a child 364 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 9: eighteen years or younger had a stay at home parent, 365 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 9: it would make a truly big difference in crime rate. 366 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: Did you did you have a stay at home mom? 367 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 9: I did? 368 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 11: Are you? 369 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: Were you yourself a stay at home mom? 370 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 9: Unfortunately not, economy wouldn't. I was at home when they 371 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 9: were home from school, but I couldn't homeschool them. And 372 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 9: I think after COVID we all agree stay at home 373 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 9: teaching it's the way to go. 374 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. I promised yesterday that I would 375 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: read this this thread from a guy who posts under 376 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: the name Rebel Educator, and I'm not gonna do it 377 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: right now, but it's wonderful and he's a he or she. 378 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a heat was a teacher, may still 379 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: be a teacher, but talks a lot about this issue. 380 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: I'll say, from my own perspective, my mom was a 381 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: stay at home mom, which I didn't realize at the time, 382 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: was an extraordinary luxury because my dad worked at DuPont 383 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: a chemical plant, in the maintenance department, and he didn't 384 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: make a lot of money. But when he got off work, 385 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: he came home and he was super dad. He coached 386 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 2: every one of my teams in every sport. He was 387 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: there for me for everything. He never missed an event. 388 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he was there for everything. And my mom 389 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: was there all day and so I had to stay 390 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 2: at home mom experience. And if that's what you know, 391 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: you don't know how important that is. And then when 392 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 2: my wife when we when we had our children, we adopted, 393 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: but when our children came home to us, she was 394 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: a lawyer at a big law firm and her career 395 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: was very important to her. And then Rick Perry tapped 396 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: her to be his Secretary of State because we just 397 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: passed a voter ID law and you needed somebody to 398 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 2: go across the state and explain that this isn't discrimination, 399 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 2: this is voter integrity. And when that was over, I 400 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: said to her, how about you take three months and 401 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: just come back because you've been traveling. It's a big state, 402 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty four counties. How about you just 403 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: take three months reconnect with the family because you've got 404 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: all these job opportunities now that you've been secretary of State, 405 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: and they'll still be there in three months. And in 406 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 2: three months I said, can you do three more? And 407 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: when we got to a year, she goes, I know 408 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: what you're doing, and I agree, I'm going to stay 409 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: home with the kids. And she serves on a board 410 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: and she does things to keep her mind, that business 411 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: mind going. But she would tell you now that it's 412 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: been the most rewarding experience, and you can see a 413 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: difference in our children now. The problem is because everybody 414 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: worries that whatever you say, even if it's true, will 415 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: upset people, and upsetting people is the worst crime in America. 416 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: We don't say that this thing is better than that thing. 417 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: You said a stay at home mom is better than 418 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 2: a mom going to work. And that is true. It 419 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: is one hundred percent always true. It's not one hundred 420 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: percent that every family can do that. A single mom 421 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: has to go to work, should go to work to 422 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: show the kids that she's supporting the family. In some 423 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: cases financially they've made that decision. But there is no 424 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 2: doubt and we should not be afraid to say it. 425 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: It is better for the children if mom can stay home. 426 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you, Linda, I've seen case after case 427 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: of high powered moms. And you know, one of the 428 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: hardest careers to give up is medicine because because it 429 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 2: makes that much money, doctors don't make as much as 430 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: they used to. In fact, other fields make more money. 431 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: But because you go to so much school and make 432 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: such a sacrifice to get to be a doctor, I've 433 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: seen doctors, female doctors especially be stay at home home moms. 434 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: I've got a friend. His wife is a very high 435 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: powered corporate executive. She makes a lot of money, and 436 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: he had an independent position and they have two daughters. 437 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: And his wife said, look, I make a lot more 438 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 2: money than you do. Would you be willing to stay home? 439 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: And he's superdad. He takes his girls to everything, He's 440 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: at every parent teacher meeting. I do think it's better. 441 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: And I think what you say speaks to a bigger issue, 442 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: which is, Look, if fried chicken is better than grilled chicken, 443 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: and we all agree with that, why aren't we afraid 444 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: to say it. Well, the person that has to eat 445 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: grilled chicken gets their feelings hurt. We've got to stop 446 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: worrying whose feelings get hurt. It's not a crime. And 447 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: a person shouldn't be celebrated because well, I'm poor. You 448 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 2: shouldn't say that that person is successful because they're rich. 449 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: They are successful. That doesn't make you a bad person. 450 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: And even but that is true. We'd all rather be 451 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 2: rich than poor. We'd all rather have a stay at 452 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: home mom than a mom that goes to work. All 453 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: of those things are true, and there is nothing wrong 454 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 2: with that. We have backed down from stating what we 455 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: believe to be true for fear that we will upset someone. 456 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this. I get this email every day, Michael, 457 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. My friend is upset 458 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 2: because I stated this thing, and she's very upset. Why 459 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: do you care? Why is her being upset upsetting you? 460 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: She chose to be upset. Now you're choosing to be upset. 461 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: Are you sinking up at the end of the month. 462 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. It's a sympathy upset. If you know 463 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: something to be true, then state it. That was what 464 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: the Bible told Christians. Carry your cross, bear your burden. 465 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: You're not gonna make friends out of this. The old 466 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: Winston Churchill great line. So you have enemies. Good. That 467 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: means that at some point you stood up for something. 468 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: I messed the quot up a little bit. You get 469 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: the point. Let's go to John in Maryland. John and Maryland, 470 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 2: what do you truly believe? 471 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 12: I truly believe that Donald Trump is in the midst 472 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 12: of a divine appointment by God. I think in retrospect 473 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 12: he will be seen as this particular era as our 474 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 12: general patent. He has an indomitable will. I'm praying he's 475 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 12: not killed. He makes an unabashed defense and claim of 476 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 12: the Gospel. And that's what I truly believe. 477 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: Thank you Joanna in Tennessee. What do you truly believe? 478 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 13: That God is not happy with America because of the 479 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 13: way we have leaned into the disbelief of this era? 480 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 13: And I truly believe that this will be the year 481 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 13: that I will not back down about anything that is 482 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 13: true and real and godly. And I don't care who 483 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 13: likes it or who does I never have, but I 484 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 13: am more convicted this year than any other time in 485 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 13: my life. I am six seventy six years old, and 486 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 13: I will not back down because God wants. I want 487 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 13: God to be happy with me, to stand for him 488 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 13: and him alone, and not to worry about all this 489 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 13: woke craziness around me. 490 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 2: Joanna, you are the call of the week. I am 491 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: so proud of you. You can't see it, but I 492 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: am pumping my fist in the air with delight at 493 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: the strength of conviction you have. You know what, You 494 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: don't have to be the fastest runner or the most 495 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: strong lifter. Your strength of conviction is what we need. 496 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: And too many people I think have have stood on 497 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: the sideline. Clave Travis has a book called Playbook, and 498 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: in promoting it, he talks about putting on your journey 499 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: and getting on the field, and here are the plays 500 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: to get into the battle.

And even if other people say, oh, 581 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: you got to get with the times. That's how you 582 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 2: talk people into accepting opinions that they don't already accept. 583 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: You know the truth, and you know, and you know 584 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: that everything but the truth is in some form or 585 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: another not the truth. And if you know you came 586 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 2: to that conclusion for all the right reasons, after careful consideration, 587 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 2: and you could start fresh. You could wipe the balance 588 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: sheet and ask yourself today, do I believe that this 589 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 2: is true? If you can do that without hesitation, then 590 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 2: that is the truth and nobody, nobody should change that. 591 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: And if if at the theater you go to, or 592 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: on the TV show you're watching, or on the radio 593 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 2: program you're listening to or the song that comes on 594 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 2: the radio. Wherever that nonsense occurs. You know what the 595 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 2: truth is, and that cannot and will not change. It 596 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 2: is unfailing. It's the north Star. It's a great speech 597 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: by Clarence Thomas where he talks about the north Star 598 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: and he said, no matter no matter the way the 599 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: winds blow, matter which direction you get turned, the north 600 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 2: Star is always the north Star. It never changes. All Right, 601 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 2: it's time for I truly believe. I'll ask you what 602 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: you truly believe, and you say I truly believe that, 603 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 2: and it'll be a sentence. We may or may not 604 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 2: go from there. That's how we play this game. Dave 605 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 2: in Ohio and Mark, I'll just go down the list. 606 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 2: Dave in Ohio, what do you truly believe? 607 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 11: Thank you. This doesn't necessarily make me feel better, but 608 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 11: I truly believe that the war between Israel and Hamas 609 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 11: is a war between good and evil, and Israel is 610 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 11: obviously on the side of the good. And if I 611 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 11: have to explain that to anyone, God help them for 612 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 11: not understanding what's going on. 613 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 2: Dave, I agree with your sentiment, but I'm giving you 614 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 2: a C minus for not getting right to the point 615 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 2: and going on for too long. But I'll give you 616 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 2: extra credit to go up to a B minus because 617 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 2: I agree with everything you said, Deb in New Mexico. 618 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 2: What do you truly believe? 619 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 13: Deb? 620 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 10: I truly believe that the Constitution is the second greatest 621 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 10: document ever written, and it was written with God's health 622 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 10: because it pretty well covers all things for the freedom 623 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 10: of men, and men was given freedom of choice by God. 624 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 2: Deb. How old are you. 625 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 10: Seventy? 626 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 2: God bless you? Where your age as a banner? You 627 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: probably know this, Deb. But in seventeen seventy six when 628 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence was written, and then just over 629 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: a decade longer later when our Constitution was written, there 630 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 2: was an enlightenment going on in the world. And Adam Smith, 631 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: a great Scotsman, wrote The Wealth of Nations at the 632 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 2: same time that our Declaration of Independence was being written, 633 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 2: and despite the distance between those folks, there was a 634 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: great understanding there. It was a small world at that 635 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: time in terms of great thinkers and writers and philosophers 636 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 2: were well aware of what other thinkers of import were saying. 637 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 2: And the words of Adam Smith with regard to you 638 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 2: know what motivates the baker to bake, or the candlestick 639 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 2: maker to make candles, or the cobbler to cobble. The 640 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: idea of incentives, the idea of motivation, and he said 641 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: it is not by kindness or mercy that he does 642 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 2: these things. It is to make a profit. And then 643 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: prophet is a good thing. And you tie all that 644 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 2: into the American capitalist constitutional system based in faith, and 645 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 2: you look at the writings of Jefferson on those it's 646 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 2: a beautiful thing.
