1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back the Hour number two Clay 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: with us. I want to dive into a couple of 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: different stories here in a moment Disney. We talked about 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: this a little bit earlier, Buck, Disney is getting absolutely 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: savaged when it comes to its overall brand value. Disney 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: and I can't believe this is true. According to an 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: Axio subset of the hundred of the biggest companies out there, 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: is now the fifth most polarizing brand in America. How 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: did they get there? We'll talk about that in a minute, 12 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: but I wanted to share with you again what we 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: were talking about at the end of the first hour 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: and discussing the Trump legal peril. Buck, do you agree 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: with me that every Republican running for president should pledge 16 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: to pardon Donald Trump of all federal charges in the 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: event that they are elected president in twenty twenty four? 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I don't even I can't even think of, from 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,919 Speaker 2: a conservative or Republican point of view, a particularly strong 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: counterpoint to it. I can't see a reason why you wouldn't. Now, 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: I think it's right on political grounds. I think it's 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: right on ethical grounds. So what else is there? 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I guess if you were someone running 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: who hates Trump and believes that he should go to 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: prison like Liz Cheney, min I was gonna say, then 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: you're then you're not a republic You're a phony. 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: Right. 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: So and for any real yeah, like the Lincoln Project 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: would be opposed to this, right And as a general project, 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: if the Lincoln Project is opposed to something, and you 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: have a spine and you have a you know, functional brain, 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: you should be opposed to whatever they're opposed to. And 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: it is funny, by the way, how quickly they've pivoted 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: from Trump is a unique threat to the Republic to oh, 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: if Rondosantis gets elected, it's important to recognize that he's 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: maybe even. 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: A bigger threat. 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: Uh but I I think and correct me if I'm wrong, Buck, 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: But no, republic I have not seen any Republican candidate 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: running who has made that pledge publicly yet, have you? 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 4: No? 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: And I mean, you know, look, Ron is not yet 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: a candidate, so we'll see what he says. I do 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: remember when there was the possibility there was a discussion 45 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: of extradition, and everyone recalls there was a little a 46 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: little bit of heat on DeSantis when the charges were announced. 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: He was saying, hol lo, wait, why did he miss 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: this opportunity? He did say that he would not in 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: any way have the state of Florida cooperate in that extradition. Now, 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, legally that's you know, 51 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: that's a losing battle because of existing law. But he 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: was basically saying, we're gonna do everything we can to 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: you know, gum up the works and not help out 54 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: with this, which which I think was the right move 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: under those circumstances too. So I would not be surprised 56 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: at all if he came forward and said I wouldn't. 57 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, on the right these days, understanding 58 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: who the real opposition is and trying to unite our 59 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: team on what really matters. There's going to be fighting, 60 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 2: there's going to be sniping about stuff. But I think 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: people will see that in a very positive light. And 62 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: I think from what I see. I don't know, maybe 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: maybe I'm just missing this right. This is all perception driven. 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: Whenever there's anything out of the Trump camp or even 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: some of the Trump some of the Trump spokespersons that's like, look, 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: Ron's a great governor, but we just know it has 67 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: to be it has to be Trump this go around. 68 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: The people that I know who are you know, still deciding, 69 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: they're like, you know that that starts to But whenever 70 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: they say, you know, Ron DeSantis is a George funded 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: sorry George George George Soros funded, you know, globalist deep 72 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: state operative who's working with the Builderbergs, I'm like, that's 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: actually gonna help rond de Santis more that it hurts it. 74 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 75 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: I think Trump's strongest argument on DeSantis is, hey, I'm 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: going to be president for four more years. He's doing 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: a good job in Florida, but he's not ready for 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: this job yet, So you need me for four years 79 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty eight, I might even endorse 80 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis because I might think he's the best option 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: for the country, but he's not ready yet. 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 83 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: No one wants to feel like someone's turned into a 84 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: suicide bomber during the primary, you know what I mean, 85 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: Like they're just going to take the whole system down 86 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: with them, as opposed. 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: To the Hillary Did you see Hillary's tweet like when 88 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: Trump is basically making the same argument as the NAACP 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: and Hillary. I think that's a really weak argument for Trump, 90 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: right because Hillary is not renowned for her extreme genius 91 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: in this respect. But Hillary tweeted, I wanted to make 92 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: sure we hit this too, because I saw it and 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: I think it ties in with what's happened to Disney. 94 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Hillary tweeted, and I mean, just come on, Hillary, and 95 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: then she turned off replies buck so nobody could actually 96 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: reply to it. And I would just say this, if 97 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: you have an opinion and you turn off everybody being 98 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: able to reply to your opinion on Twitter, then that 99 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: is not a very strong sign that your argument is 100 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: a good one, if you're worried about what people will 101 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: say in response to it. But this is I'm gonna 102 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: scroll down. I want to make sure I get her 103 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: tweet right. Ron de Santis, Hillary Clinton. Ron DeSantis's ultra 104 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: maga Florida isn't safe for people of color, LGBTQ people, 105 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: or even multi billion dollar corporations. And she puts it 106 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: in there, and it's a very Clinton move to put 107 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: in multi billion dollar corporations. But when your argument is 108 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Florida sucks and it's an awful place, and that's why 109 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis doesn't deserve to be president of the 110 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: United States. You're basically parroting lies that are the same 111 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: thing as what the NAACP and Hillary Clinton are saying, right, 112 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: and I think that's a really inefficient way to attack 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis. 114 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we all have to be on the same page 115 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: about what's good on as a conservative or on the right. 116 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: You know, low taxes, low crime relative to what's happened 117 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: in the rest of the country, influx of people, and 118 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: it's true, but it's true a Tennessee. It's true of Texas. 119 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: You know, we we give you. It's funny because you 120 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: know an now we're Floridy and then a Tennessee, and 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: so we give not as much credit to Texas as 122 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: it deserves on us. But Texas was really the original 123 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: low tax, pro freedom state that started to get a 124 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: lot of people, and that's been going on. I mean, look, 125 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: I remember when I went to work for Glenn Beck 126 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: at the Blaze. I came out of the CIA to 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: go work for Glenn and he was New York based, 128 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: and then he moved to Dallas. And at the time, it 129 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: was people were like, WHOA, how you're in media? How 130 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: do you do that? Glenn sees many steps ahead, and 131 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: he saw, I think what was coming with this sorting 132 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: of the country into basically free and authoritarian, which is 133 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: really what Blue and Red I think has become. And 134 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: this is a dynamic that I'm going to be really 135 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: interesting to see how it plays out in the primary overall, 136 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: because you've got you, look, you've got a lot of 137 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: You've got a bunch of high wattage candidates, Like I 138 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: don't think Vivek Ramaswami is going to win the election. 139 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I could be wrong, but he's an interesting 140 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: guy who, you know, throws some good points into the mix, 141 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: and I think that and understands the economic and financial 142 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: side of things. I don't know what NICKI Haley's really 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: going to bring to things other than apparently take cheap 144 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: shots at Ron DeSantis on behvad Trump. 145 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: But she's there, so there's that. 146 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how all 147 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: these different candidates look at what is happening in the 148 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: country and explain what that vision of the future is. 149 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: Is it create the same you know, use the federal 150 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: government to create as much room for more, you know, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, 151 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: policies in another states or is it just try to 152 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: wall off those places and protect them from federal overreach. 153 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I want to hear what the vision is, 154 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: you know, what the national level vision is, because you 155 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: really haven't heard that articulated from anyone yet. I mean Trump, 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: you could say it's more of Trump, but things have 157 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: changed since Trump. This is a part of it that 158 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: we haven't really had much of as part of the discussion, 159 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: right the pandemic and the authoritarianism, and you know, our 160 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: perception of American politics since twenty nineteen, you know, and 161 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: into twenty twenty, Trump's last year in office has shifted 162 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: and the party has shifted too. So there's a lot 163 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: that's going to be worked out. I think as part 164 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: of the primary. 165 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: This ties in, by the way, why I think DeSantis's 166 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: battle with Disney has resonated very well with the base 167 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. 168 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 6: Now. 169 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: I think it's made the corporate is very nervous. 170 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: If you're big business guy, you're not happy with DeSantis 171 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: feuding with Disney. And I thought one of the funniest 172 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: criticisms that was Ron DeSantis took fifty thousand dollars from 173 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: Disney and now he's, you know, taken shots at him. 174 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: Isn't that what you want? 175 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: Don't Don't you want someone to do what's right irrespective 176 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: of who their donors are. Like that actually seems like 177 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: a real strong point. And to just so, I remember 178 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 1: speaking to a guy in the world of finance, and 179 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: I always thought this was just relieve, not someone I 180 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: knew well, but like a hedge, funny guy. And we were 181 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: talking about this is when I was living in New 182 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: York City. He said, you know what I you know 183 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: what I do. I give to I give to every 184 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: district attorney campaign. I don't give to one. I give 185 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: the I give to every there's a candidate who has 186 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: any shot of winning. 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: I give to Republicans. I did I give to Democrats. 188 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: I'd give to, you know, the chief commissar if they're 189 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: running for district attorney, because I just want to know. 190 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: I want them to know. 191 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: That is how corporations operate for the most part, A 192 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: lot of them do. They just give money to the 193 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: whomever they think is going to be in a position 194 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: to be advantageous to their interests when it matters and 195 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: that means given to both sides. Right, look at even 196 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting about remember Sam Bankman Freed 197 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: does that? 198 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: Does anyone? Can we just take a moment, how many 199 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: of you. 200 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: Remember remember a little guy with the curly hair made 201 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: like tens of billions of dollars just disappeared and he 202 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: was like, Hey, I'm like living in like the top 203 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: of a manshit and I have sex parties at like 204 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 2: this little weird guy who was, you know, running this 205 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: crypto exchange that the Miami Heat Arena was named for FTX. Right, 206 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 2: and uh, but but remember he was giving money or 207 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 2: the those guys were giving money to both sides, and 208 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: people were like, oh, well, it's not political. Well no, 209 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: it's very political the whole point. So with Ron DeSantis, Okay, 210 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: Disney wanted to give him money. Great, they're supporting a 211 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: candidate that they hope is a good leader. That's what 212 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: the money is supposed to be for. It's not supposed 213 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: to be we're buying you off. We're just not saying it. 214 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: That's for the Biden family. That's a specific thing. 215 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: So here's the deal buck this Axios poll, Disney carried 216 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: a reputation score in twenty fourteen of eighty three out 217 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: of one hundred, most people liked the Disney twenty fourteen. 218 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: Not that long ago, didn't you. 219 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: I grew up loving Disney like Disney products to me 220 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: was the most like it was. It was America. It 221 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: was Americana meets childhood fantasy and dream. 222 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: It was great, right. 223 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean that's what we did on our family vacations. 224 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: We would go, say, stay at Fort Wilderness campground at 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: the Disney World resort down in Florida, obsessed like a 226 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: huge Disney family. By the way, when it had a 227 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: reputation score of eighty three buck not polarizing at all. 228 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans. This is just twenty fourteen had roughly 229 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: the same opinion of Disney World. Okay, Disney. This is 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: where it gets interesting. It is collapsed. The overall brand 231 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: value of Disney has gone from eighty three to seventy 232 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: point nine in the current number. 233 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: Right, And when you. 234 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: Go dive into it, it's accelerated its collapse because it's 235 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: become very political. Disney's reputation went up a few points 236 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: for Democrats by coming out and saying, oh, we're opposed 237 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: to don't stay gay. We dislike ants, but it plunged 238 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: more among Republicans. So from a pure business perspective, leave 239 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: aside the politics. If your brand is gaining small amounts 240 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: with Democrats and it losing massively with Republicans, and we 241 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: live in a fifty to fifty society, why in the 242 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: world would you do that? And along the way, Disney's 243 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: polarization has now skyrocketed. It's the fifth most polarizing brand 244 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: they tested in all of America. 245 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: Buck, And you know what, you know why? 246 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: This is about people's kids, right, you know, this is 247 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: about people's children. And the implicit promise of Walt Disney 248 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: that I grew up with, that you grew up with. 249 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: And that a lot of people listening not only did they. 250 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 2: They expected that their kids or their grandkids would have 251 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: the same explicit or implicit promise from Disney. 252 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: And it was as follows, we. 253 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 2: Are going to expose your children to beautiful stories of 254 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: the good guys triumphing over evil, and it's gonna be creative, 255 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: and it's gonna it's gonna expose them to beautiful music 256 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: and to creativity, and it's gonna be wondrous. And and 257 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 2: instead we got the head of Disney talking about how 258 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: we need more trans, non binary and sexually fluid and 259 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: pan sexual characters. And they've started to actually put that stuff, 260 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: not to start it to for recent in recent years 261 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: put that stuff in their content. And so the moment 262 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: that the you know, the corporate entity that you thought 263 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 2: was was, you. 264 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 3: Know, safe for your kids. 265 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: I can't even think of a brand that that feels 266 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: like more of a betrayal than what you know, a 267 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: really major But people say bud Light, okay, fine, but 268 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: that's about adults, right. No one thinks that bud bud 269 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: Light wasn't trying to appeal to four year olds and 270 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: six year olds. And what we see here with Disney 271 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: is something else. And and I think it shows that 272 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: parents are way up. And the math here buck, this 273 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: is what's I think is so key. I'm a capitalist. 274 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: If the math added up, and by going woke, Disney 275 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: was increasing its brand value and they were increasing the 276 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: amount of money they could make, then I would say, hey, 277 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: you know what, may I may disagree with it, but 278 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: there's a logically sound business purpose to it. All of 279 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: the numbers reflect that that isn't true. What you gain 280 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: by going woke, you are more than losing on the 281 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: other side of the equation. It's basic math and it's 282 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: bad business. And that, to me is the argument that 283 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Republicans can make to go beyond why woke is wrong. Right, 284 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: we disagree with it from a cultural perspective, it's also 285 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: really bad business, and that to me is what you're 286 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: seeing in these numbers that are coming out. 287 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: I totally go. 288 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: Let's open lines up.

Welcome 373 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We've got a 374 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: lot of you who want to weigh in on this 375 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: Disney polarization data from Axios and your own personal experiences there. 376 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: But I want to play this because tonight we are 377 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: going to have the official announcement of Ron DeSantis running 378 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: for president. He's going to do it with Elon Musk 379 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: on Twitter spaces, which I bet is something that a 380 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: lot of people are not familiar with. But first, Casey 381 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: DeSantis shared this ad yesterday on her Twitter account. Here 382 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: is what that ad sounds like as a teaser for 383 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: tonight's announcement. 384 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 7: They call it faith because in the face of darkness, 385 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 7: you can see that brighter future of faith that our 386 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 7: best days lay ahead of us. But is it worth 387 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 7: the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth 388 00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 7: the sacrifice? America has been worth it every single time? 389 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Pretty good? That accent videos, right, the video is great, 390 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: but the accent, the British accent or whatever it was there. 391 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: It definitely gives you like an idea that it majesty 392 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: and scope is so. 393 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: Ravitas, instant gravitas right away when you have any kind 394 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: of you know, accent that really sticks with people. 395 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, uh okay. 396 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: And then I wanted to clear this up because I 397 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: said yesterday when this news broke, well, maybe this means 398 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is going to endorse Ron DeSantis. Maybe he 399 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: still will. We don't know what's going to happen tonight. 400 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: It's six Eastern for this announcement. But Elon said, I'm 401 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: not endorsing any candidate. I just want somebody normal. Listen 402 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: to cut seven this. 403 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 8: Time trying to endorse any particular candidates. But I am 404 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 8: interested in you x splash Twitter being somewhat of a 405 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 8: public town square. So I think the preference of most 406 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 8: Americans is really to have someone fairly normal in office. 407 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 8: I think someone that is representative of the moderate views 408 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 8: that I think most of the country holds in reality. 409 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: I think he's right. Remember Elon, while he's being painted. 410 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the Vanity Fair headline that they said, oh, 411 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: this is like Elon Musk is David Duke basically now 412 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: he's a white supremacist because he's allowing Ron DeSantis to announce. 413 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: But remember, Elon actually voted for Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Now, 414 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: I bet I would love to ask Elon do you 415 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: regret that vote now based on Joe Biden's presidency. But 416 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: this idea that Elon Musk is some sort of right 417 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: wing idiologue he voted for Biden in twenty twenty, I 418 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: think it's worth noting than putting that out there. He 419 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: just is fairly moderate. And also I think somewhat saying now, 420 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: maybe he's going to vote Republican in twenty four but 421 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: I think that's a sign of how crazy Biden's rule 422 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: has been so far. 423 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of people should When 424 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: I say a lot of people, everything relative when you're 425 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: talking about a country three hundred and thirty million, But 426 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: there are independents, there are swing voters, not a lot 427 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: of them. I do think we're a pretty polarized country politically, 428 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: and all the data, all the data and all the 429 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 2: voting patterns support that. But of that pool of the persuadable, 430 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: there's definitely a considerable contingent and I would put Elon 431 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: likely in this category if we should have him on 432 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: the shows, we can ask about this. I think that 433 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: they see that the Biden thing was really a bait 434 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 2: and switch, that we were in a the country was 435 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: in a really, as we know, in many ways, a 436 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: dishonestly overhyped emotional state on a range of issues, COVID, 437 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 2: the BLM two point zero and all this stuff. And 438 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: Biden was supposed to be normalcy, a grandfatherly figure who 439 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 2: wasn't going to push anything crazy, who is going to 440 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 2: be there to calm things down. We were all going 441 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 2: to stop fighting. Oh, Trump was even if you like 442 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: Trump's policies, He's too polarizing, even if you like the 443 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: Trump economy. Right, that was the pitch, and it was 444 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 2: all a lie. 445 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 446 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: The Biden White House is putting out directives about giving 447 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: transgender surgery to twelve year olds, gender mutilation for fourteen 448 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: year old kids, acting like, if you have any problem 449 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: with that, you're a bad person. Maybe the state should 450 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 2: take your children away from you. That's the moderate Grandpa. 451 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 3: I mean. 452 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: So I think for people like Elon and they're like, Okay, 453 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: they lied, they lied, and they're crappy at this job, 454 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 2: meaning the Biden White House, so makes sense to me. 455 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Buck, And you know, people say, what's your goal 456 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: with the show? I'm sure you get asked this every 457 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: now and then. I'm trying to persuade people who are 458 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: persuadable in my head without kick and everything else, because 459 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: I was persuadable, right, Like, I'm a data person. You 460 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: show me data, you show me arguments. I've voted Democrat before, 461 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: and now I look at the Democrat Party and just 462 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: think they're absolutely insane. 463 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 3: Right. 464 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: There are lots of people I think like me. I 465 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: think there are tens of millions of people out there 466 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: that if they really look at the evidence, they're capable 467 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: of being red pilled. And so in my mind, I'm 468 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: always talking. You know, you'll hear me. I'm always talking 469 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: to those people who are persuadable because I want to win, 470 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: and I want to win big, right, And that's really 471 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: what has to happen in twenty twenty four. I think 472 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: for things to change, and I'm optimistic when I see 473 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: things like what's going on with bud Light, or when 474 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: I see that Disney is making choices that objectively are 475 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: awful ones. And we got a lot of people who 476 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: want to weigh in here. Buck again, I was sharing 477 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: the Axios data about the fact that Disney has gained 478 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: some Democrat support, but they've lost way more Republican support. 479 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: And so if your job is to appeal to everyone 480 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and you make choices that cause people to like your 481 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: company less, that's really bad judgment. And Todd and Ames Iowa, 482 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: you want to weigh in on this. 483 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 6: Hell, Hello, gentlemen. It's an incredible honor to talk to 484 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 6: both of you, and I mean that from the bottom 485 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 6: of my heart. I I love listening to both of you. 486 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 6: That yes, sir, real quick, real quick story. You were 487 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 6: talking about persuadable people. Rush used to say something years ago, 488 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 6: and he said it off and on his during his career, 489 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 6: was that if you give me just a week, listen 490 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 6: to me for just a week, and if you still 491 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 6: hate me, because I did hate Rush for a long time, 492 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 6: and he'd say, if you still don't like me or 493 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 6: still hate me at that time, then don't listen to 494 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 6: me anymore. I took him up on that, and he's 495 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 6: I was a persuadable individual at that time. He turns 496 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 6: me around in my political views and my my political 497 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 6: mind just totally did a flip flop that in one 498 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 6: week when I listened to Rush, it was this guy. 499 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 6: I connect with this guy and I never ever tried 500 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 6: doing that with him until one day I was had 501 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 6: a week off of vacation during I'm retired now, but 502 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 6: and I listened to him and I said, the man 503 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 6: connects with me. And I think that's that's huge with 504 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 6: a lot of his audience out there. And you you 505 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 6: both of you also you connect with people, and that's 506 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 6: he huge. So hey, a quick point to the to 507 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 6: the Disney issue. Uh uh Iiger has a board of 508 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 6: directors and you guys know a lot more about this 509 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 6: than I do. Is it the is the board filled 510 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 6: with a bunch of woke individuals, because I would think 511 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 6: that those people would be very concerned, as they should 512 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 6: be about the bottom line at Disney, and they they're 513 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 6: the ones that control who who so put in there 514 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 6: at their CEO. 515 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: So I've I've seen this and dealt with this a 516 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: little bit. Thank you so much, Todd for Colin from 517 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 2: as I have a very very kind call, and thank 518 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: you for the insights so true about about what Rush. 519 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 3: I've had. 520 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: So many people said that Rush brought them to conservatism, 521 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: which I don't think there could really be a higher 522 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: honor that are a radio host doing what we do 523 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: can achieve than to help someone write their philosophy and 524 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: help bring them to the understanding of the world where 525 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: they're rooted in fact, reality and what is true and 526 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: and anyway, I think that's that's a you said, you know, 527 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: you're goal is to persuade people over that is certainly 528 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: a mission that we have here. I just say, save 529 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: America from the commis. 530 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: But you know, that's a little similar, similar, but a 531 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: little different. 532 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: But I would I would point out on the on 533 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: the board of directors issues, a lot of people bring 534 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: this up. A lot of Board of directors' positions are 535 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: sinecures for people. They just you know, they can get 536 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: paid very well and they sit there and they do 537 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: they don't want to rock the boat. They don't want 538 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: to get into anything, and they certainly don't want to 539 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: be targeted as out of the mainstream. So I always 540 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: say this, the woke are an invasive species. They do 541 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: not seek to coexist in the ecosystem. The woke are 542 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: the big ass boa constrictors that are eating everything down 543 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: here in the Everglades in Florida. So you have to 544 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: get rid of them in the sense that you can't 545 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: allow them on your board. You can't allow them to 546 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: take over control of entities because they will only replicate 547 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: more wokeness. They will only push for more of that. 548 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: So I think that's that's why you don't see the 549 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: board stepping in. And there are also woke lunatics. I mean, 550 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 2: so the people who are afraid of the other woke lunatics. 551 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: And there are woke lunatics on the boards of these 552 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: big companies. 553 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: What I see, Buck, and I think you're right one 554 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: hundred percent about that too, is this, First of all, 555 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: there are some true believers, all right, so put them 556 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: to the side. There probably are true believers on the 557 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Disney board. I also think there's a lot of self 558 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: preservationists in business. 559 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 3: And here's what I mean by that. 560 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: There's a lie and there's a lot of people who 561 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: are self preservationists inside of businesses as well that are 562 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: not high echelon. You can do what's best for you individually, 563 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: and it can be what's worse for the company. And 564 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of CEOs that say, well, 565 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: if I send out the emails talking about how much 566 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: I love BLM. And if I claim, as June gets 567 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: here in Pride Month, is here that I think it's 568 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: great that Target is selling bathing suits that allow women's 569 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: bathing suits to have places for men to tuck their 570 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: penises because they think that they are women. I'm never 571 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna lose my job over that. And if you don't, 572 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: Bob Chapik just got fired. That's how Bob Eiger came 573 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: back in. And one reason Bob Chapick got fired from 574 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Disney was because people said he didn't respond aggressively enough 575 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: to the don't say gay bill. Now, I actually think 576 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Bob Chapick was right, But individual preservation often means you're 577 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: destroying what's best for the company. And there are a 578 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: lot of CEOs who say, hey, i'm making twenty million 579 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: a year, I'll send out that BLM message. It might 580 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: be the worst decision for the company, it might be 581 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: alienating some of my base, but my board's gonna pay 582 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: me twenty million dollars or more a year until at 583 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: some point the business gets so bad. Buck, I don't 584 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: know if I said this off air to you or 585 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: on air. Look at Disney's chart Disney's stock is lower 586 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: today than it was nine years ago. If you bought 587 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: Disney stock back in two twenty fourteen, it's the S 588 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: and P's up over double. You've actually lost money because 589 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: the stock price is down. 590 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: Get some of your calls here coming up in just 591 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: a moment.

In this world of politics, we live in 622 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: the budget, the debt ceiling, and the Biden administration right now? 623 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: How are they going to react to all of this? 624 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: But first, can I just say, you know, Clay, I 625 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: think we haven't really in fair due here to Nancy Pelosi, 626 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: because not only is she the former Speaker of the House, 627 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 2: and not only is she apparently the best stock picker 628 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: of all time. I mean Nancy Pelosi's hedge fund skills. 629 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: Personal hedge fund skills are uncanny. I mean, mathematically seem 630 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: almost impossible. It's almost like she must have some sort 631 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: of edge because she's so brilliant. I guess, But did 632 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: you know she's also an amateur historian, Clay, Because I'm sorry, 633 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: I actually just realized this. I mixed up the names 634 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 2: of this one. Biden is an amateur historian, because here 635 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: he is to tell everybody that Nancy Pelosi great economic mind. 636 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 2: Biden amateur historian, Biden saying that Pelosi helped to rescue 637 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: the economy during the Great Depression. 638 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 3: Play twenty three with Nancy. 639 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: Leading away, you never had to worry about the bill 640 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: had passed. 641 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 3: She said she had the votes. She had the votes. 642 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 7: Every time. 643 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: She she had to vote so many life changing piece of. 644 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 7: Legislation, Selle prescy, the economy, the Great Depression. 645 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: I mean, Clay, Nancy Pelosi is an older woman, but 646 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,719 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she didn't rescue the economy during the 647 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: Great Depression as Speaker of the House. Because if so, 648 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 2: whatever face cream she's using, we need some, Yeah, no doubt. 649 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: And I saw her invading suit, I mean, Martha Stewart. 650 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: They should have put Nancy Pelosi on the front cover 651 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: of the of the Sports Illustrated Look here, and I 652 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: think there's a lawsuit involving Tucker having that picture up right, 653 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: which is actually really funny because all of this is 654 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: so ridiculous. 655 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: Biden can't do the job right. And the other thing 656 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: I would encourage Elon Musk to say tonight when he 657 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: has his interview with Ron DeSantis, I think he needs 658 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, I would love to have Joe Biden 659 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: on with me for an hour two And I've said 660 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: this on this radio show. The White House reached out 661 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: and they said, hey, Joe Biden wants to come on 662 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck show, we'd welcome him because I think 663 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: if he did an hour on our show, which Trump 664 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: has done several times, if Joe Biden did an hour 665 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: on our show, the twenty fifth Amendment would be trending 666 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: by the time he held hung up the phone. Because 667 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Buck and I bet you would agree. 668 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he could sit and talk to us 669 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: and answer questions for an hour without everyone out there saying, 670 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this guy cannot remotely be close to 671 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: being president of the United States right now. I think 672 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: one hour with us would end any ability for him 673 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: to continue to argue why the job, which is why 674 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: they weren't do it. 675 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is no chance that that is ever going 676 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 3: to happen, as we all know. 677 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 2: But hey, the inviters out there, Charlie and utahs, got 678 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: some thoughts on the Board of Director's point. 679 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 3: What's going on? 680 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 5: Hey guys, I'm just having a little bit of trouble 681 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 5: erasing the picture of Nancy Pelosi in a bathing suit 682 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 5: out of my mind right now. But that said, you 683 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 5: know that you were talking a bit ago about why 684 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 5: the board members that are acting so woke on Disney, 685 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 5: and I think the key thing is is that on 686 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,959 Speaker 5: these big on these big companies like this, you get 687 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 5: the board members are typically CEOs of their own big companies. Yeah, 688 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 5: and if they if they are, if they're not standing 689 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 5: up for the woke, for the woke side of things, 690 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 5: they're going to be suffering the consequences back in their 691 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 5: own companies. So that's probably why you're not seeing the 692 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 5: board taking a more aggressive stand. 693 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: That's a great point. It's a great point too. Very 694 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: rarely are these boards actually made up of independent members. 695 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: They typically are rubber stamps for the CEO, and they're 696 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: often high high profile executives at other big companies. Again, 697 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: they're doing what's best for their individual remuneration the money 698 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: that they're making, as opposed to what's in the company's 699 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: best interest. 700 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 2: Greg and fort Myers want to get you in before 701 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: the break here.
