Welcome in final show of the year for 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: either me or Buck. Buck is already on his Christmas vacation. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: We have got a ton of great hosts coming for 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: you guesting starting on Monday. But let's have some fun 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: as we finish off twenty twenty five, which has been 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: I think an absolutely incredible year. Okay, we got a 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 2: ton of stories to dive into with all of you. 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: First of all, the Brown shooter is dead. That is, 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: the Brown University shooter is dead. And they now say 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: we talked about this a little bit on the program 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: before other were discussing it. They now say that this 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: guy also killed a professor at MIT. So the failure 18 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: of Brown University to have working cameras in the larger 19 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: campus community not only led to this guy being unable 20 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: to be caught for multiple days, it led directly to 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: an MIT professor being shot. Now we're still learning a 22 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: lot about this guy and what we actually know about him. 23 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: He is a forty eight year old former student at 24 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: Brown from Portugal and his last known address was in Miami, Florida. 25 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: Let me play a couple of these cuts, because already 26 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: everybody is stopping discussion now that the guy has killed himself. 27 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: The story is just vanishing, and I'm going to play 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: a couple of these cuts here in a moment for you. 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: But first worth knowing we are expecting to get Epstein 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: file release a little bit later in today. So what 31 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: exactly that will entail we do not know. Although bombshell 32 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: Alert the New York Times, after aggressively reviewing every bit 33 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: of evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and interviewing many of his 34 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: alleged victims, has told you what Buck and I told 35 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: you was the case for a very long time. There's 36 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: no evidence of criminal wrongdoing from President Trump at all. 37 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: In the Epstein files. He is included, as many famous 38 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: people are, because he and Jeffrey Epstein knew each other 39 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: quite well in the eighties, nineties, early two thousands. But 40 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: the New York Times, paper of record for left wingers everywhere, said, hey, 41 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: there's absolutely no suggestion of any criminal wrongdoing from the 42 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: president associated with Jeffrey Epstein. We told you this for 43 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: some time. We said, do you really think they would 44 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: try to bankrupt President Trump, try to imprison him for 45 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: the rest of his life, and aid in many ways 46 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: in creating the culture that led to people trying to 47 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: kill him if there was evidence that he had committed 48 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: crimes in the Epstein files, do you think that they 49 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: would have gone after him for bookkeeping transgressions that aren't 50 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: even criminal in nature in New York City. If there 51 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: had actually been evidence that President Trump had committed crimes, 52 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: of course they would not have. They would have used 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: it in the four years that Biden was in office. 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: This was so self evident for anybody with a functional brain. 55 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: Yet again, people continue to fall for the bait and switch. 56 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: So we're expecting that later today. I think that will 57 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: once and for all put the whole Epstein story to bad. 58 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't expect there to be a lot of revelations. 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: I think it's all taken care of at this point 60 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: in time. But we will see the full release of 61 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: the Epstein files so called Epstein files, later today. But 62 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: updating you on what happened late last night, the Brown 63 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: University shooting suspect killed himself, according to reports. Here is 64 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: from that press conference a description of that From cut one. 65 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: An individual was identified as Claudio Nevis Valenti Dato birth 66 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: and he was a forty eight year old man. He 67 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: was a Brown student. He was a Portuguese national and 68 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: his last name noan address was in Miami, Florida. 69 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: And I will tell you that he took. 70 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 3: His own life tonight. We have members of the province 71 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: Police Department up in Salem Massage, New Hampshire, and we 72 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: also have the BCI unit. Obviously, the FBI and the 73 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: Evidence Recovery Unit is up there. So the process is 74 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 3: being conducted as we speak. 75 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: All right, one more cut here from that press conference. 76 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: There were questions asked, Okay, why were there not cameras there? 77 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: Why did we have to rely on it? It turns 78 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: out a homeless guy actually was the person who was 79 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: able to help break the case here and catch this guy, 80 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: so he may be entitled to a fifty thousand dollars reward. 81 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: He went on Reddit. He talked about the fact that 82 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: this guy was behaving strangely, this homeless guy did, and 83 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: that he had tried to have a conversation with him. 84 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: He thought it was strange that he was driving a 85 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: car with license plates from Florida, and the way that 86 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: he was behaving on campus and parking and everything else. 87 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: This is all true. It appears that this case was 88 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: basically this decided solved by a homeless guy on campus 89 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 2: who just thought this dude was behaving in a strange fashion. 90 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: Here are reporters blasting Brown University's President, Christina Packson for 91 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: the decision that she made and the defense of not 92 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: having working cameras in this part of the building. Listen, 93 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: there were no. 94 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: Cameras in this building, and law enforcements, some that are 95 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: standing up behind you have said, if Brown had cameras 96 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 4: in that part of the building, we would have gotten 97 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: this guy and it may have stopped the swirling action. 98 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: Can you answer that question for me? 99 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 5: Well, I don't think we have said the locations of 100 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 5: cameras at Brown. We have because. 101 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Why would they take it from a rental car agency. 102 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 5: We have twelve hundred cameras at Brown, but not in 103 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: that building. We have some in that building. It's a 104 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 5: large complex, and I think what you would see is 105 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 5: the video evidence in this case from my perspective on 106 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 5: to law enforcement agent has been incredibly helpful, the moving 107 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 5: of the person around the neighborhood. Those video images, they 108 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 5: helped craft this case. So I think video was important. 109 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: And as the Attorney General explained at a recent press conference, 110 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 5: this individual was not spending his time on the Brown campus. 111 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 5: He came into a building on the edge of the campus. 112 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 5: He left, He was in the neighborhoods. The investigation focused 113 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 5: on the neighborhoods. The video was there and that was 114 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 5: really really instrumental in cracking the case. But you could ask. 115 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 6: Them, and this is my follow up for Madam President 116 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 6: to say the podium, Yes, video played a big role 117 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 6: in this case. The neighbor's video, the rental car video, 118 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 6: but not the video from the building that he walked 119 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 6: in freely, both before when he got in a confrontation 120 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 6: and when he came back in decided to kill people. 121 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: You didn't have cameras. 122 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: In that building. 123 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 7: Just say it so he can get us over it. 124 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 4: And my next question. 125 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: Really need to call up. 126 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think we need to look back. 127 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 5: We'll look at everything that is done. But I do 128 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: not think a lack of cameras in that building, it 129 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 5: had anything to do with what happened there, all. 130 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: Right, So he is now dead. I'm surprised that there 131 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: isn't more discussion about why he chose to It's as 132 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: if now that he is dead, everybody is just going 133 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: to move on and pretend that we still don't know 134 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: why did he attack Brown University? Why did he also 135 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: then go and evidently kill this MIT professor? What in 136 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: the world was going on here in his mind that 137 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: was motivating these two actions. And also, look that MIT 138 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: professor is dead because of the incompetence surrounding Brown University's 139 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: ability to actually capture this guy. So there is a 140 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: dead person for sure, innocent, it appears dad, I believe 141 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 2: three that was an MIT professor that's dead because they 142 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 2: couldn't catch this guy who engaged in this mass shooting 143 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: at Brown University. But that story is is now out there. 144 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: Be aware of what happens in the wake of many 145 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: of these shootings. I want to update you to the 146 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: awful Bondai beat shooting that we started off the week 147 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: talking about that happened over the weekend. What is the 148 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: response in Australia to the mass shooting from guys terrorists 149 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: who were able to obtain weapons still in Australia, they 150 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: should never have gotten these guns. This is what the 151 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: background checks are designed to do. You ever notice how 152 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 2: almost always the people who have guns and engage in 153 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: illegal acts are breaking the law. It's kind of a 154 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: big deal, don't you think the idea that criminals are 155 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: going to comply with laws over and over and over again. 156 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: These mass shooters should have never had the weapons that 157 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: they have. The laws were put in place to keep 158 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: them from having the guns in Australia. They never should 159 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: have had the guns. So how do you respond to 160 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: the failure of existing gun control laws by trying to 161 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: implement more gun control? Which, guess what's going to happen. 162 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: Criminals are going to continue to disrespect and flo out 163 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: because they are criminals. So the law abiding gun owners 164 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,119 Speaker 2: are going to be the victims here of increased attempted regulation. 165 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: Listen to cut three Australian gun control in the wake 166 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 2: of the Bondai shooting of fifteen innocent Jewish people. The 167 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 2: only solution here, Hey, it's not remedy immigration. Hey, it's 168 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: not actually apply the laws that are on the books 169 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: now to keep bad guys from getting guns. No, it's 170 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: more collection of firearms and more destruction and more laws 171 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: necessary when it comes to guns. 172 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 8: Cut three, we spek hundreds of thousands of firearms will 173 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 8: be collected and destroyed through this scheme, consistent with the 174 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 8: prime it was taken in on in ninety six. The 175 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 8: government is proposing that states and territories will be responsible 176 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 8: for the collection, processing, and payment to individuals for surrendered firearms. 177 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 8: The austral and Federal police will then be responsible for 178 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 8: the destruction of these firearms. 179 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: There you go. They don't even hide exactly what they 180 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: are going to be doing. All right, several other things 181 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: that I want to get into. Let me kind of 182 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: give you a roadmap of where we're headed. Senator Mark 183 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma is going to join us just 184 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: after two pm. We will talk about the amfest that 185 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: is going on right now the Daily Wires. Ben Shapiro 186 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 2: teed off on a lot of people that he says 187 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: on the right are frankly grifting liars. We will tell 188 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: you what goes on there. Erica Kirk has endorsed JD 189 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: Vance and said that he will gain the support of 190 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: both her and Turning Point. As we already are starting 191 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: to look towards twenty twenty eight. In Atlanta, there has 192 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: been basically an acknowledgment that in the twenty twenty election 193 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: there was unrestrained election fraud. That is, three hundred and 194 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: fifteen thousand ballots in the Atlanta area didn't comply with 195 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: state law in Georgia and should not have been counted. 196 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: I know that many of you out there saying, yeah, 197 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: of course, Clay, But isn't it interesting how now all 198 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: of these stories come out and everybody in Georgia just says, yeah, 199 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 2: you know, we may have screwed that up. And you say, okay, 200 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: well Trump's in office. Now, yes, we had the disaster 201 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: of Biden, but remember they may have stolen two Senate 202 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: seats in Georgia. Kelly Loeffler and Purdue probably won that election, 203 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: both of them. If those three hundred and fifteen ballots, 204 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: which were ninety five to five in favor of Democrats, 205 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: had not been counted. That was an election that was 206 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: decided by a tiny matt margin. And remember this gets 207 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 2: into the weeds, but they had to do a revote, 208 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: and a lot of you have probably forgotten about this 209 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: because you just want to wipe it out. Of your brain. 210 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: They had to do a double revote in Georgia because 211 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: at the time you had to get over fifty percent 212 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: of the vote, and both of those guys, Perdue and 213 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: Leffler just narrowly didn't get there, and then they ran 214 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: the revote and then Democrats showed up. And you say, Okay, 215 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: what was the impact of that, Clay, Well, that's what 216 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: gave Biden control of the Senate. If only one of 217 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: those Senate races had gone in favor of Republicans, Biden 218 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: would have never been able to come in and enact 219 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: the awful agenda that he did in the first two 220 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: years of his administration. So it wasn't just the presidency 221 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: that was impacted by the fraud in Georgia. It was 222 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: also directly the Senate, which was it over to Democrat 223 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: control because of this fraud. And I do think we 224 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: should be following up on stories like these because a 225 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: lot of people just want to pretend, oh, it never happened, 226 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: there's nothing going on here. In reality, this was incredibly 227 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: consequential in terms of the impact that it had. I 228 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: want to tell you for those that follow the markets 229 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: looking for investment opportunities, and as I speak to you 230 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: right now.

I'll mention this again in the 254 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: third hour, but I wanted to make sure I didn't 255 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: forget to do it here. Thank you guys, from both 256 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: Buck and myself. We started this show, this ride with 257 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: you guys in twenty twenty one, so we've been with 258 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: you in twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, 259 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and now twenty twenty five, so that 260 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: is parts of five years, and next year, when we 261 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: go into twenty twenty six, that will be six years. 262 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you out there are 263 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: thinking to yourself, there's no way that's true, because as 264 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 2: you age, the years moved by super fast, and so 265 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: I'm kind of blown away by that too. But we 266 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: have enjoyed every single moment. We hope that we have 267 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: helped to make the country a little bit better than 268 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: it otherwise would have been. And we are certainly honored 269 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: every single day to sit down in front of this 270 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: microphone that Russia IMBA made famous and to help to 271 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: speak sanity into at all too often an insane world. 272 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: So we thank you for this opportunity, this privilege, and 273 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: thank you guys for letting us move into a sixth 274 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: calendar year with all of you starting next year, and 275 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: it's been another really good year for growth. I've mentioned 276 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: this before, but I think it's worth noting when we 277 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: came in in twenty twenty one, we had three hundred 278 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: and fifty stations nationwide. As we are finishing twenty twenty five, 279 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: we now have over five hundred and fifty stations nationwide, 280 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: so we have grown by two hundred stations over the 281 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: course of the past four or five years. And that's 282 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: a credit to you, guys, because you're listening all over 283 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: the country in all fifty states, and certainly we love 284 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: all of you that are listening right now on the podcast. 285 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: But you can imagine a lot of people when you 286 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: step into Choose that are this massive say there's no 287 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: way on earth these two knuckleheads are going to last 288 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: any time at all. And it's credit to you, guys 289 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: that not only have we lasted, we have thrived. And 290 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: I think it's quite clear that we love hanging out 291 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: with you every single day for three hours. So thank 292 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 2: you all. Right. Opposite of thriving, I tease this last hour, 293 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: and as I was reading and getting ready for the 294 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: show today, I couldn't help but go through my usual 295 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: review of the stock market to see how things are 296 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: moving there. You guys know, I love to update you 297 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: as as needed, sometimes more often than some of you care, 298 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: on what's going on in the stock market, what's going 299 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: on in the media landscape. And this morning, Nike stock 300 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: is tanking. And I know some of you probably have 301 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: Nike stock, so I'm not trying to add to your 302 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: misery here in the holiday season, but Nike stock has 303 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: now dropped below sixty dollars a year. I wrote seven 304 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 2: years ago, in September of twenty eighteen, that it was 305 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 2: a bad idea to buy stock in Nike because Nike 306 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: had moved from a company that embraced the meritocracy. This 307 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: was really a large part the thesis of my book 308 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 2: Republicans by Sneakers two from a company that's goal was 309 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: to speak to sports fans everywhere and sell them sneakers 310 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: and sell them gear. Michael Jordan was right. He's now 311 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 2: admitted that this was a quote. He was asked in 312 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: the nineteen nineties, why aren't you political, Michael, Why do 313 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: you not speak out on so many different issues that 314 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: confront the country, and his answer was Republicans by sneakers. 315 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 10: Two. 316 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: I love that answer because sports is a unifying force 317 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 2: and it should be the case. And I really believe this, 318 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: and I've founded much of my career on it that 319 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: when you're in a stadium or an arena and your 320 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: team wins, you shouldn't be thinking about anything other than 321 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: high fiving the person around you. And Jordan got that, 322 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: and it's why to this day, sorry for all the 323 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: people in Salt Lake. The most watched game in the 324 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: history of basketball was Game six, nineteen ninety eight NBA 325 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: Finals when Michael Jordan, yes, he pushed off Brian Russell 326 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: a little bit, stepped back and hit a jumper to 327 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 2: win the sixth title for the Chicago Bulls. In eight years. 328 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: Over thirty million people watched that game. It is the 329 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 2: most watched game still in the history of basketball in America. 330 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: Never have more people watched a game. Lots of other 331 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: sports have set new record highs. Super Bowl, for instance, 332 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: that we just watched many of us in February of 333 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: this year, was the most watched football game that's ever 334 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: aired in the history of the United States. So the 335 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: NFL has continued to set records, the NBA hasn't. Why 336 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: it's because Nike decided to go woke. I'm going to 337 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: play an ad for you from back in twenty eighteen 338 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 2: in a moment. But think about when you grew up. 339 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: Nike epitomized athletic excellence, the meritocracy. If you remember, if 340 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: you grew up around my age, you will Bono's. Do 341 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: you remember the Bonos commercials that were so great? If 342 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: you remember all of the Michael Jordan ads for Nike, 343 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: if you are around my age and you remember how 344 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 2: every time a new Air Jordan sneaker came out, we 345 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 2: all couldn't wait to see them. We hoped that we 346 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: might be able to afford them. Heck, some of y'all 347 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: are out there right now and your sneaker heads to 348 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: this day because you grew up on Air Jordan's great 349 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: stat for you. Even to this day, Michael Jordan's Air 350 00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: Jordan brand out sells every current NBA player sneaker combined. 351 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: Think about how wild that is. That's how beloved Michael 352 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 2: Jordan was. When they released that documentary The Last Dance 353 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: during COVID, when there were no sports going on, more 354 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: people watched the documentary about the nineteen ninety Chicago Bulls 355 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 2: than watched the actual NBA Finals with Lebron James in 356 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: them that year. People would rather watch a documentary about 357 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan than an actual game featuring Lebron James. Why 358 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: why did all this happen? Because deep down American DNA 359 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 2: craves excellence. We want to be the biggest, the best, 360 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: the baddest ass that has ever existed. That was Jordan. 361 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 2: Now can it come with Pratt falls? Yeah. Most people 362 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: who are driven to be the best at something, they 363 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: also have a few flaws. Elon Musk right now, I 364 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: think is the greatest American capitalist of all time. If 365 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: you look at what he's done with Tesla, if you 366 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: look at what he's doing with SpaceX, if you look 367 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: at what he's doing with x and Xai, the Boring Company, 368 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: all of them are extraordinary successes, the likes of which, 369 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: and I don't think I'm exaggerating here, it's the greatest 370 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: capitalist ever. Susie Wilds talked about this in The Vanity Fair. 371 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: But he's also a bit of an odd duck. He's 372 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: got a lot of kids, by a lot of different women, 373 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: fourteen kids, I think by a lot of different women 374 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 2: right now. It's probably not always really easy to get 375 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: along with Steve Jobs back at Apple, really difficult to 376 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: get along with, you know when you say, like Steve 377 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: Jobs did, my job is not to give people what 378 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: they want. It's to give people what they aren't even 379 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: aware they want. Yet I've got to create that kind 380 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: of cocky and so if you're looking at that and 381 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: you're saying, yeah, there's a downside to it. But if 382 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 2: excellence is the standard, Nike made its focus the meritocracy, 383 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: the best man or the best woman. They wanted their 384 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: sneakers on you. They wanted to convince you that you 385 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: would run faster, jump higher, that you would in some 386 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: way emulate the successes of the people that they put 387 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: on the Nike brand. It was all about excellence, the meritocracy. 388 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 2: Nike wanted the best man or the best woman, not 389 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: the best man pretending to be a woman, to win. 390 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: And then a record scratch moment happened in twenty eighteen, 391 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 2: I'm gonna play this ad for you. Suddenly Nike decided 392 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: instead of Kobe Bryant, instead of Michael Jordan, instead of 393 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: the greatest athletes of their era representing the brand. They 394 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: were gonna pivot, they were gonna go woke. They gave 395 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: millions of dollars to Colin Kaepernick, and they said this 396 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: is the new Nike, and this aired seven years ago. 397 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 11: Listen, if people say your dreams are crazy, if they 398 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 11: laugh at what you think you can do, good stay 399 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 11: that way, because what non believers fail to understand is 400 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 11: that calling a dream crazy is not an insult, It's 401 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 11: a compliment. Don't try to be the fastest runner in 402 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 11: your school or the fastest in the world. Be the 403 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 11: fastest ever. Don't picture yourself wearing Obj's jersey. Picture OBJ 404 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 11: wearing yours. Don't settle for homecoming queen or linebacker. 405 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: Do both. 406 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 11: Lose a hunerd twenty pounds and become an iron man 407 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 11: after beating a brain tumor. Don't believe you have to 408 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 11: be like anybody to be somebody. If you're born a refugee, 409 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 11: don't let us stop you from playing soccer for the 410 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 11: national team at age sixteen. Don't become the best basketball 411 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 11: player on the planet. 412 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: Be bigger than. 413 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 11: Basketballers about Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing 414 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 11: everything all. 415 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: Right, stop it right there. When they believe in something, 416 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: even if it means sacrificing everything, they try to quoke 417 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: their message in the guise of Colin Kaepernick. But people said, 418 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 2: wait a minute, Colin Kaepernick is making way more money 419 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: as an advocate than he ever had as a quarterback. 420 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: He got multiple Netflix documentary deals, He got paid millions 421 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: of dollars by Nike. If Colin Kaepernick had been the 422 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 2: best quarterback in the NFL and he had decided to 423 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: take a knee to protest anything, do you know what 424 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 2: would have happened. He would have stayed employed. But when 425 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: they started to sell the face of the brand, now, 426 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: is Colin Kaepernick believe in something even if it means 427 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: sacrificing everything. Colin Kaepernick wasn't the best quarterback in the NFL. 428 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: I'm not sure he was the twenty fifth best quarterback 429 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 2: at the NFL at the time that he took a knee. 430 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, whatever you thought about him, heck Lebron James, 431 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 2: heck Kobe Bryant, whatever you thought about those guys, they 432 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: were the best of their era. The minute that Nike 433 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: he decided, Hey, we're going to focus on an athlete 434 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 2: for an advertising campaign that has nothing to do with 435 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: excellence on the field and everything to do with a 436 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: political perspective. They turned their back on Michael Jordan. Republicans 437 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: by sneakers too, and they basically extended a middle finger 438 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: to half of America and said, screw y'all. And that's 439 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 2: being kind for what they said, left wing politics or nothing. 440 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: When that ad ran Nike stock, I wrote about it 441 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: at USA Today, I've linked it on my Twitter account. 442 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: Nike stock was eighty five dollars a share. Seven years later, 443 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 2: stock market is up about one hundred and fifty percent. 444 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: That is, if you had a dollar in it, now 445 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: you've got nearly two fifty right all the rest of 446 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: the market has gone up substantially. Nike stock, because I 447 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: speak to you right now, is fifty nine dollars a share. 448 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: You would have lost if you had just seen that 449 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: cultural pivot like I did and said sell your Nike stock, 450 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: which I did, and everybody in the whole sports media 451 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 2: came after me and said, Klay Travis has no idea 452 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 2: what he's talking about. Seven years later, eighty five dollars 453 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: share price, Now it's fifty nine dollars. It's not just 454 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 2: that the price has declined substantially. It's that the rest 455 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: of the market has gone up substantially. You've lost a 456 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: ton of money if you bought Nike stock and held 457 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: it because they went woke and burned down the entire 458 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: framework of the company. All of the culture that was 459 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 2: created with Michael Jordan was gone with Colin Kaepernick. And 460 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: I think it's emblematic. Some of you can say, well, 461 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: why should I care about Nike? This is what happens. 462 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: Culture wins. Culture wins in everything. The culture that you 463 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 2: create in your family, in your companympany, in your city, 464 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: in your state, in your country ultimately dictates the result 465 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: that you're going to get. And if you allow this 466 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: woke culture virus into your family, into your company, into 467 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: your city, into your state, into your country, the results 468 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: are going to be awful. Because the only way we 469 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: advance is by embracing the meritocracy. The best among us 470 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: should have the highest possible results. When we start saying 471 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: the athletes we should aspire to embody are people who 472 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: are speaking out about politics whatever they are not about 473 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: the excellence of their actual performance, the culture is lost. 474 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: This is what I think about all the time. Now 475 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: that I'm getting to be an old guy. Culture. Culture, culture, 476 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: the culture that you create in life dictates every element 477 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 2: of success individually and also in a larger context. It's 478 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: no surprise to me that the culture Nike created, which 479 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: turned away from excellence in the meritocracy of Michael Jordan 480 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: to the left wing activism of Colin Kaepernick, led ultimately 481 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: to the cratering of the company. If you go woke, 482 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 2: everything else will be in disastrous rubble, doesn't matter what 483 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 2: it is. I hope that's a lesson that we're starting 484 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: to learn, but it's one that a lot of us 485 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: knew a long time ago.

If you 527 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: make good choices, then you're going over time to end 528 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: up in a better place than if you make bad choices. 529 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 2: And if you question that, I make a lot of 530 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: bad choices in my golf game. Golf as a metaphor 531 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 2: for life is not a bad symbol for those of 532 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: you out there that golf at all. How often do 533 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 2: you find yourself out of the fairway very often? 534 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 10: For me? 535 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 2: How often do you find yourself with a bad lie? 536 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: Very often? And how often do you try to do 537 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: a hero shot to put yourself back where you should 538 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 2: have been if you had just stayed in the fairway 539 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 2: in the first place. A ton of times. If you 540 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 2: ever find yourself in golf thinking I'm going to cover 541 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: my face right after this shot, which I have found 542 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: myself doing a lot of times. You are attempting a 543 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 2: hero shot. If you are playing with a friend and 544 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 2: he's in the golf cart and he leans over in 545 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 2: preparation for your shot to ensure that you don't beat 546 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 2: him in the back of the head and kill him, 547 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 2: you are attempting a hero shot. If you have ever 548 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 2: started to take a golf and thought this shot might 549 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 2: well ricochet and take out my teeth or break my nose, 550 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 2: it's probably something you shouldn't do. Speaking of which you know, 551 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: I've done a bunch of these charity pro ams. Now 552 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 2: jaw rule the rapper, Did you guys see the video 553 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 2: of his tee shot where he hit at such an 554 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: improbable angle that the person who was filming it, who 555 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: was basically perpendicular to him, it should be very difficult 556 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: to hit a golf shot that way. You should be 557 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 2: safe in that tea box. Now he hit him. If 558 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 2: you haven't seen that video, that is an example of 559 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: a bad golf shot that is leading the culture a mock. 560 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: But I do think it's important and instructive. As we 561 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: finished twenty five to think about that quite a lot, 562 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: and I think about it in the context of a 563 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 2: quote that I heard back in the past that some 564 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 2: of you may have heard before. A college football coach 565 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: told me, we recruit our own problems. And I just 566 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 2: thought to myself, that is such a perfect way of 567 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 2: describing much of what goes on in life. We recruit 568 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 2: our own problems. Most of the time we worry about 569 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 2: external Oh what's that person going to do to me? 570 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 2: Oh what's that company going to do to me? Most 571 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: destruction is internal, not external, and we recruit our own problems. 572 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 2: The coach was talking about the culture you create. The 573 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 2: culture you create dictates success. If you create a culture 574 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 2: that blames everybody else this woke mind virus. If you 575 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: create a culture that says, oh, actually, this company, well 576 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: it's it's taking advantage of people, it's pillaging them. If 577 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: you create a culture of futility and blame, you're going 578 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 2: to have a culture that collapses. And I was thinking 579 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 2: about that right now because on the right wing in 580 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: this country. Well, let me first give you a little 581 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 2: bit of advice. My advice as we finish off twenty 582 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: twenty five, clip it. Share it with your kids, graduate 583 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 2: high school, get married, get a job. If you do 584 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: those three things. Your poverty rate in America is basically zero. 585 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 2: Graduate high school. Everybody can do it, no matter how 586 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 2: rich your mom or dad are, no matter where you're 587 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: going to school. Everybody can graduate high school. Everybody can 588 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 2: eventually get married, and everybody can eventually have kids. After 589 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 2: those two things you do that you have a poverty 590 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,720 Speaker 2: rate basically of zero. But I wanted to play a cut. 591 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro yesterday was speaking out at Amfest. Erica Kirk 592 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 2: Big News. I would say, the wife of Charlie Kirk 593 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 2: endorsed Evans. But Ben Shapiro was speaking about truth and 594 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 2: trying to be honest with audience and what the impact 595 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 2: of that can be in a significant way. And I 596 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 2: thought he did a really good job of calling out 597 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 2: things that are untrue and people who are spreading untruth 598 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: sometimes people who are spreading untruths and being actually rewarded 599 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,959 Speaker 2: for them. And I am scrolling through right now. Let's 600 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 2: start with Erica Kirk, because I thought Erica was good 601 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 2: in what she said. This is cut thirteen. 602 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 12: I've said it before and I'll say it again. The 603 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 12: mission didn't end with Charlie's life. It's being lived out 604 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 12: through each and every one of you in your own way. Again, 605 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 12: it doesn't matter, your age, doesn't matter, your race, doesn't matter, 606 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 12: your background. Amfest is not about echo chambers. It's very 607 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 12: important to know that because it's about sharpening one another's 608 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 12: it's about digging deeper into ideas instead of retreating and 609 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 12: the slogans, and it's about remembering that freedom requires responsibility 610 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 12: and truth requires courage. 611 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 2: Okay, that's well said, and certainly on this show we 612 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 2: like to say the First Amendment is alive and well, 613 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 2: I've always believed that the marketplace of ideas, sometimes you're 614 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 2: going to get a bloody nose, sometimes you're going to 615 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,959 Speaker 2: get a black eye. People are going to come after 616 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 2: things that you say and they may not agree, and 617 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 2: that's okay. And the marketplace of ideas requires that the 618 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 2: best ideas win. But also it requires that there be 619 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: a marketplace a variety of opinions, so that you're not 620 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 2: just constantly the preacher speaking to the choir. You have 621 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: to convert people to your way of thinking. You have 622 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 2: to evangelize for the truth and for the First Amendment. 623 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 2: So I thought Ben Shapiro here going after one of 624 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 2: his former employees, Candace Owens, over lies that she has 625 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 2: spread about who killed Charlie Kirk was pretty strong. Elbows punches, 626 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 2: sometimes scraps get nasty. This has cut fourteen. 627 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 10: Because we have a duty to truth, we also have 628 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 10: a duty to provide you with evidence of the claims 629 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 10: that we make. Emotive accusations, conspiracy theories at just asking questions. 630 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 10: That's lazy and stupid and misleading. None of them are 631 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 10: a substitute for truth. None of them are a substitute 632 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 10: for evidence. So when Candice Owen says, I don't know no, 633 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 10: but I know that is retarded, and we are all 634 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,959 Speaker 10: more retarded for having heard us. 635 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: Going after her aggressively. And then I thought, Ben again, 636 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 2: I watched his address yesterday, an I thought he did 637 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 2: a good job. Here's a little bit more of that. Look, 638 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 2: you have to speak not in the name of just 639 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 2: what people respond to, but also in the name of principle, 640 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 2: And if you have to balance between the two, it's 641 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 2: better to stand on principle than audience. I thought this 642 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 2: was really well said. Cut fifteen. 643 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 10: The conservative movement is in serious danger. It is in 644 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 10: danger not just from a left that all too frequently 645 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 10: excuses everything up to and including murder. The conservative movement 646 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 10: is also in danger from Charlatans who claim to speak 647 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 10: in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracism 648 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 10: and dishonesty, who offer nothing but bile and despair, who 649 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 10: seek to undermine fundamental principles of conservatism by championing enervation 650 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 10: and grievance. These people are frauds, and they are grifters, 651 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 10: and they do not deserve your time, and they are 652 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 10: something worse than that, a danger to the only movement 653 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 10: capable of stopping the left from wrecking the country wholesale. 654 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 2: I thought all of that was really well said, And 655 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 2: again it goes to threats. It's very easy to focus 656 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 2: on external threats. It makes us feel better if we 657 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 2: prepare for things that are out there, people who can 658 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 2: do things to us. We want to protect our family, 659 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 2: we want to protect our communities. But most of the time, 660 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: most almost always of the time, failure is not external. 661 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:42,240 Speaker 2: It's internal. And that's tougher to realize because we spend 662 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: a lot of time trying to protect those that we 663 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: love from others. But often the failure that we create 664 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 2: is internal because we don't do a good enough job 665 00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 2: taking care of the culture that we're creating. I don't 666 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 2: hear a lot of people talking about that. To me, 667 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 2: the foundation of conservatism is first individual responsibility. If you 668 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 2: can't in some way control yourself and put yourself in 669 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 2: a position to make things better for your family, your state, 670 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 2: for your country, then how in the world can you 671 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 2: seek to police others. The first thing you have to 672 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 2: get right is internal, and that's hard right because that 673 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 2: requires self analysis. It requires frankly hard work, and most 674 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 2: people aren't willing to do that because it's easier to 675 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 2: focus on external threats than it is to build a 676 00:43:54,239 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 2: strong culture internally. Now, Ben Shapiro's right on the left 677 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 2: have awful ideas. They will kill us for the ideas 678 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: that we even are willing to express. The left is 679 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 2: attacking Western civilization. But what I think we are learning 680 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 2: as a country is it's actually internal. We don't. 681 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 3: Look. 682 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 2: I'm concerned about what China does, I'm concerned about what 683 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 2: Russia does. I'm concerned about what people in other countries 684 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 2: might do to us. We have a military to protect 685 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 2: our nation from foreign invaders. But I'm more concerned about 686 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 2: what we're doing inside the country to freedom, to the 687 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 2: marketplace of ideas. Look at what's going on in Europe 688 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 2: right now. They just send it somebody to eighteen months 689 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 2: in prison for saying that I'm basically making criticisms on 690 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 2: social media about immigration. I was just scrolling through this 691 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 2: morning getting ready for the show, and I saw that 692 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 2: they had pulled a card off of the marketplace in England. 693 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 2: It was a holiday card with the Grinch on it. 694 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 2: This according to the Daily Mail, the headline that the 695 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 2: card said this Christmas, I'm identifying as a Grinch, had 696 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 2: a picture of the Grinch. It was pulled off shelves 697 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:51,800 Speaker 2: because quote, it invalidated the lived experiences of trans people. 698 00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: What are we doing? Internal destruction of Western civilization is 699 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: clearly the goal, and it's not being foisted upon us externally. 700 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 2: It's a cultural battle that is occurring inside of this 701 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 2: country every day, and I think Nike is emblematic of that. 702 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 2: I think it's important for you guys to see it. 703 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 2: I think certainly what Ben Shapiro is pointing to is 704 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 2: evidence of that as well. We have to internally battle 705 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 2: with strength in order to create an external culture that 706 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 2: is worthy of preservation. Think about it a little bit 707 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 2: as we roll into the holiday season, and I don't 708 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 2: want to be entirely serious on the final show of 709 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 2: the year, so we're also going to play some of 710 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 2: your funny takes on the Christmas holiday season movies, which 711 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 2: I asked for.

I'm gonna get to your calls. 764 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get some talkbacks. Let me tell you a 765 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 2: positive story quickly from my own family. So you guys 766 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,799 Speaker 2: know that I went to Vanderbilt Law School, met my 767 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 2: wife Laura there, and I love Vanderbilt University, my hometown 768 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,919 Speaker 2: of Nashville. A lot of times people get frustrated. Hey, 769 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 2: how do we win culture battles? Clay, Hey, look at 770 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 2: what's going on at my company. Look at what I'm 771 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 2: having to deal with. That doesn't make any sense. I 772 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 2: want to tell you a quick story of the impact 773 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 2: of culture and how it can lead to tremendous outcomes. 774 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 2: Some of you will remember, in fact, almost all of 775 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,240 Speaker 2: you will remember, the protests that took place on college 776 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 2: campuses all over the country in twenty twenty three twenty 777 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 2: twenty four, in the wake of the terror attacks that 778 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 2: happen by Hamas on innocent Israeli's twelve hundred deaths, the 779 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 2: worst day of death for people who were of the 780 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,760 Speaker 2: Jewish faith since the Holocaust, and all over the country, 781 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 2: places like Columbia on the East coast, places like UCLA 782 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 2: on the West coast, and many different points in between. 783 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 2: All these college kids, including my alma mater, undergrad of 784 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,359 Speaker 2: George Washington Universe, all these college kids and their supporters, 785 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 2: provokers one might say, took over campus set up tents, 786 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 2: took over campus buildings, and argued that in actuality, the 787 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 2: Hamas terrorists were the ones who were being unfairly treated. 788 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:27,240 Speaker 2: They said, globalized the Intifada unfortunately we've seen far too often, 789 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,439 Speaker 2: but we just saw it on Bondai Beach. What globalized 790 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,439 Speaker 2: the inta fada actually means. It means innocent Jewish people 791 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 2: are killed for being Jewish. It is the very definition 792 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,799 Speaker 2: of good versus evil. You know what happened as those 793 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 2: protests were taking place all over the country, Some schools 794 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 2: actually stood up against those protests and even had counter protests. 795 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 2: And among them were many very prominent Southern schools, the 796 00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 2: SEC and the ACC schools among them. My oldest SUN 797 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 2: is in the process of applying to colleges right now. 798 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 2: It's crazy to me that I'm going to have an 799 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 2: eighteen year old in January and I'm going to have 800 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 2: a college kid on a campus this fall. What we 801 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:17,959 Speaker 2: are seeing happen in this season of application is all 802 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 2: of those schools in the SEC and the ACC, all 803 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 2: these Southern schools, and there were some Arizonas of the 804 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 2: world out west as well. The places where the students 805 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 2: stood for good are seeing applications skyrocket. And I'm excited 806 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 2: to have a kid who's going to be enrolled at 807 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 2: an SEC school this fall. A big reason why he 808 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 2: is is because of the way that Vanderbilt University in particular, 809 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 2: responded when they had pro Palestine protesters take over the 810 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,799 Speaker 2: main campus building in the center of the campus, Kirkland Hall. 811 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 2: I don't think this story has gotten told enough, but 812 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 2: the chancellor of Vanderbilt's guy named Daniel Deermeyer. He walked 813 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 2: in one morning as the protests were going on. All 814 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 2: these kids had stormed Kirkland Hall. He walked in, turned 815 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 2: around and walked back out, got on the phone with 816 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: Nashville police and said, come in and get them all. 817 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 2: We're not letting this happen. It's one thing to have 818 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 2: a principle of free speech. It's another thing to say, 819 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 2: as Vanderbilt does and all these sec schools do, we're 820 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 2: not going to allow you to take over campus buildings. 821 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: Almost immediately the local Nashville police came in and they 822 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 2: arrested all the kids that were in their protesting. Then 823 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 2: something interesting happened. Chancellor of Vanderbilt. He said, if these 824 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,800 Speaker 2: are students, I want them kicked out of the school immediately. 825 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 2: They don't get to finish the semester, their credits don't transfer. 826 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 2: If they are students and they were trying to occupy 827 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 2: this building, they're gone period. Vanderbilt immediately kicked all of 828 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 2: those nincome poop kids out. You know what happened. Applications 829 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 2: have skyrocketed because earlier I was talking about culture, and 830 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:34,720 Speaker 2: it turns out culture and bravery. It's contagious. When you 831 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:40,080 Speaker 2: stand up for something significant in your life, other people 832 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 2: want to be with you. They actually want to join you. 833 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,280 Speaker 2: They want to provide even more steel in your spine. 834 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, nobody wanted to come down 835 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 2: to Tennessee to go to school. They would say things like, 836 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 2: do y'all even have run and water down there? Now 837 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 2: you have got moms and dads in La Chicago, New 838 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 2: York City, some of the richest people in the entire country, 839 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 2: people who could send their kids anywhere, and they're saying 840 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 2: no to Columbia, and they're saying no to UCLA, and 841 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 2: they are sending their kids to SEC and ACC schools 842 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 2: overwhelming numbers because they're fed up with what they have seen. 843 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,320 Speaker 2: And right now, I'm excited to have my kid at 844 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 2: Vanderbilt starting in the fall. I don't know that he 845 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 2: would have gone to Vanderbilt if he hadn't seen the 846 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: way that the chancellor responded there and I know a 847 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 2: lot of you have kids and grandkids applying to schools 848 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 2: all over the country. Ole Miss got a big game 849 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,120 Speaker 2: coming up this weekend against Tulane. I'm gonna be honest, 850 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 2: and I don't want to hear too many old miss. 851 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 2: Ole Miss would sometimes admit dead people back in the 852 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 2: day if you paid the application fee. Ole Miss was like, 853 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 2: you're in back in the day twenty. I'm not trying 854 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 2: to tell you, Hotty Toddy, I'm betting on you guys 855 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,919 Speaker 2: to beat too lane. But everybody who knows everybody out 856 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 2: there knows what I'm talking about. If you had a 857 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 2: kid in the South and they got in a lot 858 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 2: of trouble, but you still wanted them to go to 859 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,280 Speaker 2: a college, Ole Miss would welcome them with open arms. 860 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 2: Hey they're rebels. It's hard to get into every SEC 861 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 2: school now, and that's because culture wins and also culture loses. 862 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,319 Speaker 2: And I made this decision in my own life. I 863 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 2: went to George Washington University. You guys may remember me 864 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 2: talking about it some on the program. They changed the 865 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 2: name of the mascot from colonials to revolutionaries. And that 866 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 2: might not sound like a lot. You might say, Clay, 867 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,879 Speaker 2: you're why do you care? Well, because of why they 868 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 2: did it. They said they were changing colonials because it 869 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 2: had too much of a connection to colonialism. Excuse me, 870 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 2: we were the colonists. We were actually the people fighting 871 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 2: back against the larger country, the colonial army fought against 872 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 2: Great Britain. You can say, well, it's not that big 873 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 2: of a deal. They just changed the name to revolutionaries. No, 874 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 2: instead of having steel in their spine, they listened to morons. 875 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,840 Speaker 2: Worse than that, they negotiated with them. Even worse than that, 876 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: they let them win. Culture matters. The culture of the 877 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference is one where we know the difference between 878 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 2: good and evil. The culture of Southern schools in Red States, 879 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 2: where I'm fortunate to live, is one where we are 880 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 2: proud to stand on the side of good and speak 881 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 2: up against evil. As we roll into this holiday season, 882 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 2: I want for all of you to think about that. 883 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 2: Are you standing up for a culture of good against evil? 884 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 2: Are you supporting free speech? And are you shouting down morons? 885 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 2: Because if you are not, then I would submit you 886 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 2: are enabling a culture to take over wherever you are. 887 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 2: That is going to lead us into more perilous times. 888 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 2: I thought about this I just sent in a clip. 889 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 2: Strength matters, steal in the spine matters. Listen to what 890 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 2: former Hamas hostage Omaer shim Tav said. The only person 891 00:58:55,960 --> 00:59:01,840 Speaker 2: that Hamas feared was President Trump. He was in the 892 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 2: Hamas tunnels under the ground, stolen away from his friends 893 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 2: and family, one of two hundred and fifty innocent people 894 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 2: who was kidnapped by the evil of Hamas. Evil people 895 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 2: fear strength, bravery, courage. He is imperfect, as all of 896 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 2: us are, but he says things changed when President Trump won. 897 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 2: Hamas didn't fear Biden. They feared Trump. Listened to cut 898 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 2: twenty eight. 899 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 13: I consider something else by the terrorists to help me captive. 900 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 13: There was one man they feared the most, President Donald Trump. 901 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 13: When he was elected, the way they treated me changed completion. 902 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,640 Speaker 13: They were terrified of him, and they want to stay 903 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 13: the scary So the old world hears it now on 904 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 13: be asked of. The hostages are an our nation. Thank 905 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 13: you President Donald Trump for our freedom. He podcast he 906 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 13: got us home. 907 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 2: I love that. Sometimes you gotta have a guy that 908 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 2: the bad guys are afraid of. Weak men are not 909 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 2: making bad guys afraid. Biden was weak. Trump is strong 910 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 2: and It made all the difference for those hostages who 911 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 2: were back this holiday season, this Honkah to be able 912 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 2: to celebrate their freedom with their families.
