So, if I'm Tucker's agent right now, and 83 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 5: you have the opportunity to be a free agent in 84 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 5: the media marketplace, I want him to be a free 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 5: agent in the media. 86 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: Market He only really has the option to be where 87 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: he would to get his value. Yes, he would have 88 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: to do what you said, would just start his own 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: entity or join forces with an entity where he became effectively. 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: In media terms, we call it the tent pole, like 91 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: the big name that holds up you know the rest 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: of it, right. I mean, when when I when I 93 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: was hired at the Blaze, the tent Pole and the 94 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: founder was Glenn Beck, right, I mean he was the 95 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: big name that then created opportunity for many of the 96 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: rest of us to get into the news and commentary business. 97 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: Always I always say thank you to Glenn for that. 98 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: I'm always grateful to Glenn for that. And and Clay. 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 2: Right now, this is interesting, This is interesting, and and 100 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: I'm seeing some media reporters putting this out there because 101 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: I think the first touch thought that people would have 102 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: on this one, the first past thought people would have, 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: is it's got to be a related to the dominion lawsuit, right, 104 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: because that just came down. Yeah, but there are and 105 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: this already came out, there are anchors at Fox who 106 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: have received more heat for the dominion issue than Tucker did. 107 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: In fact way it showed way more. What it showed 108 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: is that Tucker started to you know, earlier than some 109 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: of the others said, Ah, this is not something's not 110 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: smelling right here. There's a problem here with some of 111 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: this analysis, right, you know, the Kraken is not being unleashed, folks, Like, 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: something's going on here. So it's not dominion if you 113 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: think that that, you know, if you look up the 114 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: the timeline of who said what and when? So then 115 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: it gets into well, what the heck is it? 116 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: Right? 117 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: I mean the number one rated show and a lot 118 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: of The Five. I mean, Clay is a Fox employee. 119 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: The Five does phenomenally well in a lot of nights, 120 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: so to be fair, and Shawn Show is number one 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: some night. So it's really been a you know, it's 122 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: either Seawn Show, Tucker Show, or The Five has the 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: biggest ratings on any given night over at Fox. But 124 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: if it's not dominion, I mean that when you talked 125 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 2: about a politics thing, I don't I don't think that 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 2: that's what this is. 127 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: It's an interesting theory, but I don't know what it is. 128 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 4: Well, you don't know. 129 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 5: There's a lot of information you don't know. So for instance, 130 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 5: how many years did Tucker have left on his contract? 131 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: Tucker knows, his agent knows, Fox knows. There's probably relatively 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 5: few people who know. So sometimes you have conversations about 133 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 5: where are you going in the future as those contracts 134 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 5: are coming up, right, That's commonplace in media. What I 135 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 5: just circle back around to is for Tucker, if his 136 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 5: goal is just to maximize revenue and maximize earnings, you 137 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 5: don't want to be an employee, right if I'm advised 138 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 5: him again as an agent, and so I think Tucker 139 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: is going to be totally fine. 140 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: What do you got for? 141 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: So I'm in a tweet from Justin Hart. 142 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: You know this guy from Twitter, he's you know, one 143 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: of he's got a let me see, he's got the 144 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty thousand followers blue. 145 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 5: Now you gotta be super you gotta be super careful now, 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 5: like what's what's real and what's not. 147 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not, by the way, I'm not a 148 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: blue check absolutist like a lot of these other people. 149 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: I'm actually happy to pay eight dollars a month.

Well, it would also he may have 178 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: just said I'm not doing it. 179 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 6: Well. 180 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 5: It would also go to just his knowledge of his 181 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 5: value on the larger marketplace. 182 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: And in that if you and look, this is all 183 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: there is. 184 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: No bigger platform, thow this is the thing, There's no 185 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: better show at there's no better network. 186 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: As a conservative, I totally understand all of that. 187 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 5: And trust me, when I started out kick a decade ago, 188 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: people said, that's crazy that you're going to try to 189 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 5: go in any way out on your own. I just 190 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 5: think the power of traditional media in general is not 191 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 5: what it has been in the past. 192 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: And I think you can just point to other people. 193 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 5: Meghan Kelly is now having a really successful career renaissance, 194 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 5: I would say by being able to go out entirely 195 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 5: on her own and just be honest every day. When 196 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: she got fired at NBC, what did everybody say, her 197 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 5: career's over? How is she ever going to come back 198 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 5: from this? And I think she's a perfect example of 199 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 5: someone that had the Fox News platform and then had 200 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 5: the platform that exists on NBC News for a morning show, 201 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 5: got fired, they tossed her on the scrap heap. I 202 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 5: would argue she's at a career like Apex now in 203 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 5: terms of her success. 204 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: Making those kinds of decisions when you get a seventy 205 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: million dollar check does become quite a bit easier. 206 00:09:59,440 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 3: But I don't think. 207 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: But to that point, also, I don't think Tucker's hurting 208 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 5: for money and I guarantee you that his phone is 209 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 5: blowing up with opportunities out there. 210 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: Now. 211 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 5: We don't know anything about the behind the scenes. All 212 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 5: we've said is I did the show Friday. 213 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: Do you right now? Do you think Tucker quit? Do 214 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: you think that they said no you can't, and he. 215 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 2: Said, I actually have last editorial say and it's my. 216 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: Way or the hot Do you think he quit? 217 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: Uh? 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 5: I don't think you would do it in one fit 219 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 5: of peak, if that makes sense. I think if Tucker quit, 220 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 5: then Tucker was already thinking about what's next, right. I 221 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 5: don't think I would just say in general, you gotta 222 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 5: sometimes take a step back and take a motion out 223 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 5: of it. And I understand principle and everything else. The 224 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 5: first time you get angry at somebody you work for, 225 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: I don't think you're like, I'm out. So if Tucker 226 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 5: quit and that's the report, I don't know any details. 227 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 5: I don't think he would do it just based off 228 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 5: one thing. 229 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: I will say, anger has never been helpful in a 230 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 2: professional setting. Me. 231 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: It's never. 232 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that you know you don't have to 233 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: some time do what you gotta do, But when you're angry, 234 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't usually help it certainly doesn't help the decision 235 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: making process. But yeah, I mean that's so, I know 236 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 2: we had that. I'm looking to see what else is 237 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: coming in. 238 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 5: I also let me just say this on that report, 239 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 5: Tucker was on Friday. 240 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: When was the dominion lawsuits settled? Wednesday? Tuesday? 241 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 242 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, So if he wants to do a monologue about 243 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 5: dominion on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, he was on air, why 244 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 5: would he not do it on Wednesday, Thursday Friday? 245 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: And maybe there was maybe he was trying and this 246 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: had been building. I'm just again, now we're theorizing, we're surmising, 247 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: we don't know, and we'll try to get you more 248 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: information on this as we do. Just also from our 249 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: VIPs Clayanbuck dot com. Please become a vip. We have 250 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: Doctor Joe writes in Clay and Buck. I'm sure as 251 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: many are saying or will say, since Tucker is out 252 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: at Fox, we are out at Fox. We are canceling 253 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: any subscriptions we have with them. That is the last 254 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: straw for Fox. This is from doctor Joe in Louisiana, 255 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: one of our VIPs. I think this is I think 256 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: they're gonna be ramifications. 257 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 3: It is. There's going to be problems. 258 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: It is a tough spot to be in when the 259 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 5: face of any brand is no longer there, which is 260 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 5: why I circle back around to all I can tell 261 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 5: you is my experience. I sold out Kick to Fox 262 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: two years ago. No one has said a word to 263 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 5: me in two years about what I could or could 264 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 5: not say on any topic under the sun. Tucker is 265 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 5: obviously a way more prominent Fox employee than I am. 266 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 5: In my experience, Lachlan Murdock and the team that runs 267 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 5: Fox News has never told me a word about what 268 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 5: I go on every show. No one has ever said, hey, 269 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 5: can you not say this or can you not discuss 270 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: this topic? 271 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: You also weren't at Fox during. 272 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 5: Correct I can't do it. I can't speak to the 273 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: hypothetical because we don't know. I can just tell you 274 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 5: my own personal experience. It would uh that would surprise 275 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: me because it's never happened to me. 276 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: If if this, let's just put this out there too, 277 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: if there is some change that is underway at the 278 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: highest leadership level of Fox, it will not only affect 279 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: that channel, it will affect the twenty twenty four election. 280 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: I think we all know that no Fox is is the. 281 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: Battleship for the right. 282 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: It's Fox and Talk Radio, and you know, if they 283 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: can if they can just steer one of those in 284 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: a direction that no longer serves the base, it will 285 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: be a huge, huge win for the left. So look, 286 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: we're gonna continue. We're we're still working through this, and 287 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: we want to hear from all of you. Eight hundred 288 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: two eight two to eight A two and we'll come back. 289 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: Maybe we have some fun.

Don Lemons worth tens of millions of dollars. 292 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: He's got a super nice house out in the head. 293 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 2: Don Lemon is fine, He's gonna So we can't have 294 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: fun with the fact that Don Lemon is gone. All right, 295 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: Don Lemon's not worried about you know how Don Lemon 296 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: got far period. I feel badly for producers of shows 297 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: you get fired, or people who are earlier in early 298 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: in their career, and you know, the people that have 299 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: already feathered their nests, so to speak, and can just 300 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: hang out and they're good to go. 301 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: You know, they'll find them. 302 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 5: I have been fired multiple times in media I'm sure 303 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: at some point I'll get fired again, as long as 304 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 5: I don't own my own company. By the way, it's 305 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 5: hard to get fired from your own company. I'd like 306 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 5: to think that someday if I have another company, that'll 307 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: protect me somewhat. But who the heck knows In this world. 308 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 5: You got to just keep your head on a swivel. 309 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 5: Anything can happen in any jobs. Get fired from his 310 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 5: own Oh yeah, he got fired from Apple, and it 311 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 5: can happen, you know, my friends. 312 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: There'll be many more court battles ahead on the legality 313 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: of abortion and the abortion pill. What we saw at 314 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: the end of last week is emblematic of what's coming. 315 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: What you don't see are the headlines about protecting the 316 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: unborn children out there if but make no mistake, there 317 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: is a large and concerted effort to protect unborn children 318 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: and care for the pregnant mother at the same time. 319 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: I can't think of another organization like the Preborn Network 320 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: of Clinics doing more for mothers and unborn children in 321 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: cities across the nation.

The NBC Universal CEO also was let 347 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 5: go yesterday, so we'll see who might be next several people. Buck, 348 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: You mentioned the political angle, and I'm sitting here looking 349 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 5: at it from the Tucker Carlson is wildly successful in 350 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 5: media and having started a media company before. My first 351 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 5: thought is Tucker has a lot of options when it 352 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: comes to starting. 353 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 4: A media company. 354 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 5: You mentioned that some people are talking about could Tucker 355 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 5: be interested in going into politics? That certainly has been 356 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 5: rumored bandied about, as it always is with successful people 357 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 5: in media. I wonder on some level would Donald Trump 358 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 5: or Ron DeSantis consider Tucker as a potential VP candidate. 359 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 5: For those of you out there listening to me right now, 360 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 5: if I told you Tucker Carlson is going to be 361 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 5: Donald Trump's vice president, I bet that a lot of 362 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 5: you are like, that sounds pretty interesting. 363 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 4: And the same thing. 364 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 5: I mean, Ron DeSantis right now is over in uh 365 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 5: is overseas right now. 366 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: I think he's in Japan. 367 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,239 Speaker 5: Similarly, it would be a bit unexpected, but what if 368 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 5: when Ron DeSantis is announcing that he is going to 369 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 5: be running for president, which theoretically he could do to 370 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 5: try to get a lot of pop. He also announced, Hey, 371 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 5: my ticket is Tucker's on VP. I know nothing about this, 372 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 5: but we're talking about media opportunities that Tucker might have. Buck, 373 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 5: what do you think about the idea we'll come. 374 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 3: Back, come back.

Market's been brutal, everybody's talking about inflation. 380 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 5: It's everywhere.

Tucker Carlson 400 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: out at Fox News, Don Lemon out at CNN. I 401 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: don't think anybody carries. But the CEO of NBC Universal 402 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: also out for, you know, being inappropriate with it within 403 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: a female subordinate. 404 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 3: But you know, NBC Universal big company too. It's funny. 405 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 2: That's by the way, that's not even that's like a 406 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: page seven c kind of story right now. 407 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: Nobody even cares. 408 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 5: Always say Buck, in our media environment, you don't need 409 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 5: to be perfect, You just need for somebody else to 410 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 5: do something more newsworthy than you in close proximity to 411 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 5: whatever you do. So so that's nobody's gonna remember the 412 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 5: NBC universal thing. 413 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: If any media company, if they like, if any of 414 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: them have been dumping toxic waste in a local river, 415 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: like now's the day, they probably want. 416 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 4: Good time, good time to get that news out there. 417 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: All right, we've been dumping all of our copy toner 418 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: in the river near you. 419 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 5: And if MSNBC has anybody they want to fire, now, 420 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 5: is CNN firing Don Lemon? 421 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 4: We don't know what happened with Tucker. They said they 422 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 4: mutually agreed to part ways. 423 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 2: It's house cleaning, house cleaning day, for sure, but Clay CNN. 424 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: Not content to just oust. 425 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 5: Don Lemon from his place, which, by the way, how 426 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 5: much would Tucker have enjoyed being able to do the 427 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 5: show tonight after Don Lemon getting fired? 428 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: You know, it would be amazing if Don and Tucker 429 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: just just for tonight got together and had a scotch 430 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: and took a photo, you know, just like clink. The 431 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: actually really really funny. They're like, yeah, you know, we're 432 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: talking it through. But Don Lemon, this is from CNN Communications. 433 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: They just put this out. 434 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 3: This is a breaking news. 435 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: Don Lemon's statement about this morning's events is inaccurate. He 436 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: was offered an opportunity to meet with management, but instead 437 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: released a statement on Twitter ouch a slap from CNN 438 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: Communications here saying he's a lot. 439 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 3: Even on his last day. 440 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 5: What about CNN accusing one of their top anchors for 441 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 5: seventeen years of fake news as the final statement they 442 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 5: will probably make on his career. Now, To be fair 443 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 5: to Don Lemon, they probably gave a tip to Don 444 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 5: Lemon through his agent, Hey, you're going to be fired, 445 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 5: but we're happy to have the you know, like, let's 446 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 5: shake hands and pretend everything is fine on the way out. 447 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 5: So not to defend Don Lemon, but if your agent 448 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 5: has let you know, hey, you're going to be fired, 449 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 5: and then they want to meet with you to tell 450 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 5: you that they're firing you, look, I mean I don't 451 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 5: know about you, but I don't have a lot of 452 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 5: desire to go sit across the table from somebody when 453 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 5: the decision has already been made and be told after 454 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 5: the fact that you're being fired. 455 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 2: There's no benefit. It reminds me of remember in Moneyball. Yeah, 456 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: when he's like he's like, you know, Joe, you're a 457 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: good player and we wish you the best. Like that's 458 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: how you fired. P's you know what else he gonna do. 459 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 5: The last time I got fired, I actually had my 460 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 5: phone turned off. This was like when I started out 461 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 5: kick twelve or thirteen years ago. Uh, and the entire 462 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 5: company basically shut down. And so when I turned my 463 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 5: phone back on, my phone had blown up and I 464 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 5: didn't have a job anymore. So this is not uncommon 465 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 5: in media. For again, it's a little bit like being 466 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: a coach in sports. Even great coaches typically get fired. 467 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 5: And uh, and so I always look at it as, hey, 468 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 5: when one door is closing, what opportunities are out there 469 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: to you? Tucker's opportunities are endless. But so here's what 470 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 5: I think is is, Yeah, Tucker's fine. He's great. You know, 471 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 5: he can call either of us. And we talked to 472 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 5: him all day about all the things to collaborate with 473 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 5: him on. And you know, he's he's built a lot 474 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: of goodwill in the conservative media ecosystem for the people 475 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 5: that he's had on the show, the people that he 476 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 5: you know, brought up and trained at the at the 477 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 5: Daily Caller. You know, I know some guys who have built, 478 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 5: you know, built without successful media careers, started at The Caller, 479 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 5: which was, by the way, its a fun Do you 480 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 5: ever do you ever go to their office in DC? 481 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 6: No? 482 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 5: I mean he's at frat house, but it was a 483 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 5: fun place. He's already That's my point on like starting 484 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 5: a media company. I don't know what they sold Daily 485 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 5: Caller for, but Tucker had a good exit already in 486 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 5: one media compsy, so he's he's. 487 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 3: Got all that. 488 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: But I'm I'm thinking along the lines of what is 489 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: this telling us about how the how the conversation is 490 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: going to be for twenty twenty four. I mean, we're 491 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: right in this primary right now, we're just. 492 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: Just beginning to see how this is going to shape up. 493 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 2: We're about to enter a more you know, a more 494 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: contentious part of the primary, and Tucker is gone. And 495 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: if this had anything to do with dominion, which we 496 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: don't know to be clear, but if it had anything 497 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: to do with dominion in this calculation, which I think. 498 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: Most people right now have put. 499 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: It, it's going to affect that, you know, what are 500 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 2: what are people allowed? What are people allowed to say? 501 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: What are you going to get in trouble for? 502 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 6: What? 503 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 2: Are you going to get sued for and possibly get 504 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: some huge judgment against you. I think that there could 505 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: be a chilling effect, of course, only on the right, 506 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: because we live in a world of double standards, and 507 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: we live in a world where the left does things 508 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: unfairly because they think they're better than us, so they 509 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: should be unfair. 510 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: They don't walk away from it. 511 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: I think there could be some real implications here for 512 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: what this means for conservative media in the established outlets 513 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: that are big targets for lawsuits. And I think I'll bring 514 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: this up is you know, does anyone think that if 515 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 2: you're at a major network right now, you are going 516 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: to be able to speak about whatever you think happened 517 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty whatever that may be. By the way, 518 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: like Hunter Biden. 519 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: Laptop, clearly real, they lied about it. 520 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: I was just on foxtalnging about that, right. But again, 521 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: in some other stuff, you may get people that feel 522 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: like they can't have an honest, open discussion about different 523 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 2: aspects of political discourse right now because they don't want 524 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 2: to get sued for a billion dollars. 525 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 3: I think that matters. I think that affect things well. 526 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 5: I think there are so many things that are playing 527 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 5: out here now a counter so my big thesis, and 528 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 5: I think there are a lot of interesting aspects you 529 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 5: can draw, But I think we're moving from a platform 530 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 5: era to an individual talent era. And I've seen this 531 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 5: kind of playing out in my own media career. But 532 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 5: brand loyalty is moving, in my opinion, very much from 533 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 5: and radio. This has been true for a long time. 534 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 5: I think it's not been true as much in video. 535 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 5: But you out there listening to us right now are 536 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 5: more loyal to the individuals that you watch on TV 537 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 5: than you are to the larger brand behind them. So 538 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: Tucker has I believe, a brand that is every bit 539 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 5: as valuable, if not more valuable, than Fox. 540 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 3: I mean, let me put it this way. 541 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: If Tucker has a monologue that he posts every night, 542 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: and you know, maybe has some guests, whatever. 543 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 3: If Tucker put his show on. 544 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: Rumble, Yeah, how many of the people listening to this 545 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 2: right now would make an e I'd make an effort. 546 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 3: I would go. 547 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: I used to watch I didn't have time to watch 548 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: Tucker's whole show most nights. I used to watch Tucker's 549 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: monologue most nights that I could, you know, find myself. Yeah, 550 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: in front of a TV to do it. So would 551 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: I go to Rumble to watch it? 552 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 3: Sure? And by the way, if I'm Rumble right now, 553 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 3: I mean that's you know. 554 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, I think the easy way to 555 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 5: think about it, Buck is this, Is there any reason 556 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 5: why Tucker wouldn't have the most popular or powerful podcast 557 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 5: slash video however you want to define it in conservative 558 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 5: media the minute that he flips a switch to go 559 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 5: live on a new venture. 560 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 4: I don't think so. 561 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 5: And the reason why I bring this up I saw 562 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 5: it initially from sports because ESPN used to basically threaten everybody. 563 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 5: If you leave ESPN, you will never matter again. Because 564 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 5: our platform, as ESPN is so strong, we make stars 565 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 5: and if you aren't on our network, you won't matter anymore. 566 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: That's changed. 567 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 5: It doesn't exist, and it used to be because look, 568 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 5: there's only so many channels that used to exist. Now 569 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: we live in this world of so many infinite media 570 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 5: possibilities that look, here's another example. Has Joe Rogan been 571 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 5: hurt by not being on a traditional network as it 572 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 5: pertains to his Spotify deal? What does he get one 573 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars a year just to be on Spotify? 574 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 5: So I think Tucker's audience is going to follow him everywhere. Now, 575 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 5: Don Lemon, I don't know that Don Lemon. If I 576 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: were again at Don Lemon's agent, I think Don Lemon 577 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 5: needs CNN more because I don't think there's necessarily that 578 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 5: many die hard I have to know what Don Lemon's saying. 579 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 3: People, Well, we shall see. 580 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good. 581 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 3: Test, you know what I mean. We'll see what they 582 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: over at MSNBC. 583 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: They mean, by the way, ever, keep saying it's time 584 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 2: for someone at MSNBC to get put. You're seeing a 585 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: lot of memes out there, but who's gonna get pushed 586 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: out at MSNBC. 587 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: But anyway, we'll see. 588 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 5: The tough thing for MSNBC is I'm not sure hardly 589 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 5: they have any employees that people even know exist. Because 590 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 5: Rachel Maddow just does one day a week. Now, that's 591 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 5: not a good sign for their network. People don't even 592 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 5: know who their hosts are. 593 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: You know, you're providing for your family, both in good 594 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: times and in tough times. What happens when things get 595 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 2: really rough, like a natural disaster, for instance, a disruption 596 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 2: that's just beyond your control. Having food insurance in the 597 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: form of emergency food close at hand in the event 598 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 2: something unplanned comes along. It's a good thing. True freedom 599 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: comes from self reliance. That means having emergency food on hand. 600 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: Invest in your food foundation with three month emergency food 601 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: kits from my Patriot Supply.

I actually let the 629 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: door hit you on the way out, is what that's. 630 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 4: So we've talked, and. 631 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 5: I feel like I know the media environment pretty well 632 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 5: because of OutKick and kind of learning that process. 633 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 4: I sold out Kick two years ago. 634 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 5: But to me, one of the questions that's out there 635 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 5: that I think is interesting to my knowledge, check truth 636 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 5: social has Trump weighed in at all on Tucker Carlson 637 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 5: leaving Fox News And we know Ron Desantus, I don't 638 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 5: know what what are they twelve hours ahead? 639 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 4: It's the middle of the night. I think right now 640 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 4: in Japan. 641 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: Trump's team call in you. Trump has our He's got 642 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: the Trump Dine. That's straight Trump call in. We want 643 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: to hear from you on this. 644 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 5: Donald Trump has the Clay and Buck battvone. So for 645 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 5: any of his communications team that is that is out 646 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 5: there right now. Yeah, what has he said? I figured 647 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 5: he's probably said something because Trump is a Trump is 648 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 5: a huge, hugely interested in media person. 649 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: Clay not on Tucker, but on Don Lemon. 650 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 4: Okay, good news is the. 651 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: Dumbest man on television. 652 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: Don Lemon has finally been fired from fake news CNN. 653 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 3: My only question is what took them so long? Nothing 654 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: on Tucker, but Trump didn't. 655 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 5: I will just say to Donald Trump, this has to 656 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 5: be Christmas morning for him. If he wants to call 657 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 5: in in the next hour, way in, He's got the 658 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 5: bat phone. Uh, he can call into the show and 659 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 5: weigh in on this. But the reason why I bring 660 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 5: up Trump and again, it's middle of the night in 661 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 5: with DeSantis right now in Japan. But from a political perspective, 662 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 5: isn't there an incredible opportunity to consider bringing Tucker on 663 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 5: as a part of your ticket? I mean am I 664 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 5: crazy on this buck? If you were Trump, he doesn't. 665 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that Tucker wants a narrative. 666 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: If we were running the screenplay, Yes, I don't think 667 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: Tucker wants. I don't think he wants to be a VP, 668 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: that's for sure. I don't see that. 669 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 5: Well again, I don't know if he has as much 670 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 5: money as he wants. I don't know what Tucker's financial 671 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 5: status is. He has the ability to be a billion 672 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 5: he's not poor, he's not playing. 673 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 4: He's gonna be able to afford dinner tonight. 674 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 5: And so I'm just tossing it out there as something 675 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 5: if I were Trump or I were DeSantis, can you 676 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 5: name someone that would be universally more liked. There's a 677 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 5: good way of putting it to be the VP of 678 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 5: either man in the audience that is listening to us 679 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 5: right now, than Tucker as the VP for either of 680 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 5: those guys. 681 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: I mean, offhand, I'd have to give it some thought, 682 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 2: but I just I'm Tucker doesn't want I'm saying. 683 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: He doesn't want a job. 684 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 4: I'm just saying he doesn't want to do it. 685 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: It's a cool theory, but you know, I don't think 686 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 2: he wants to do it? 687 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: Do you want to? 688 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: Let's take some calls. 689 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: Here, got Jeff in Louisville, Kentucky.

Would it be funny 706 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: if they did that today? They're like, let's just not 707 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: talk about it. I'm running from president. No one would care, Becky? 708 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: Is that it or anything else? 709 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 6: Well?

And you know, 756 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 5: again we're kind of flying blind here with all the 757 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 5: crazy news that's breaking in.

Tucker is the only 763 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 6: show that I really watched that was of any value. 764 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 6: I put watching Fox after the twenty twenty election. So unless, uh, 765 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 6: with something new comes out, I'll probably cancel my subscription, 766 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 6: my cable sive subscription. And the the thing is, nobody's 767 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 6: talking about this. I wish some of these billionaires would 768 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 6: come out and buy Fox out. 769 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 3: I mean Elon. 770 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 2: Elon's got his heads full trying to create you know, 771 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: Mars space capable vehicles and run Twitter. 772 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 3: But as you can see, what a game changer that's been. 773 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 3: I mean, Clay, if Twitter was still operating, I just got. 774 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: Nailed on Instagram for something I posted about COVID. 775 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 3: Two years ago.
