1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: Friday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off right now.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Big breaking news to get to. Just days away from Iowa, Man,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: we are racked and stacked. Let's just give you a

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: sense of where we're going here. Obviously, the air strikes

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: against missile strikes against who the targets are getting people

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: very concerned. This is in Yemen. We'll break this all

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: down for you here in a second. But the question

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: is being asked, are we getting drawn into what could

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: be a more extended conflict in the Middle East?

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Are we getting drawn into yet another Middle East war?

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: That's the question that's out there. We'll try to answer

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: some of that for you here today. We also have

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: some updates on the status of the US Secretary of Defense,

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: more from the Trump legal world of things. White House

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: logs revealing a Leticia James visit apparently, which I think

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: people are going to need to have a conversation about.

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: So we'll discuss that one. And then also, we're just

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: days away from Iowa. Now we're going to get past

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: what do we think is happening in this GOP primary

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: to what is happening in this GUP primary as in

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: votes votes cast. But Clay, I wanted to start off

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: today because I know we've got We've got a lot more. Also,

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: we're going to hit start off today with what's going

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: on in Yemen. Here is a Lieutenant Colonel Davis, for example,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: saying that these strikes in Yemen have the potential to

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: draw us into a warplay one.

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: This has every chance to escalate to a higher level

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: because the Houthis have expressly said if we attack them

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: on their territory, they're going to start attacking Americans and

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: American interest in the region. What is our plan for that?

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: And look, this is a potential I could draw us

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: into a war, and I think the President owes it

36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: to the American people to the company's doing to make sure.

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: We want to go into a war.

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 4: I don't, but I'd like to hear from the White

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: House on exactly what the plan is and how this

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 4: follows American law.

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: And the Constitution, which it doesn't. So Clay some some

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: context here before we sort of dive into even more

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: of of the what this means. A couple of days ago,

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: the Huthi rebels, now the Huthis are a Shia group

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: inside of Iran. They're Shia Muslims backed by Iran. So

46
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: they are I'm sorry, inside of Yemen, back by Iran.

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: So they are Yemeni but back by the Iranian government.

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: And they are, like Hesbalah and Hamas, effectively a proxy

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: force for the Mullahs in Tehran.

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: Right.

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: So they're and they've been fighting in Yemen for many

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: years now. There was a Saudi air campaign. A lot

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: of Yemeni's have been killed in this. It's a mess.

54
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: You got a civil war ongoing in Yemen. You have

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: an Al Qaeda, a strong Al Qaeda faction still operating

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 2: in the center of the country. Yemen is one of

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: the poorest countries in the entire Middle East. It's on

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: track to run out of potable drinking water. It's gonna be,

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: they believe, the first country in the world that just

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: basically have no drinking water. It has the second highest

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: gun ownership per capita, I think in the world, after

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 2: the United States. So the good news is we're still

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: number one. But there's a lot of a lot of

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: major challenges going on that in that country. And here's

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: what's happening with the Red Sea, and these missile strikes

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: they fired into the Red Sea. Drones and missile strikes.

67
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: They didn't hit any shipping. But this area somewhat similar

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: to the Strait of Horror Moves, which is on the

69
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: other side of the Arabian Peninsula. You got about fifteen

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: percent of the world's all shipping stuff, grain, food, oil,

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: you name it. You know, cars on shipping containers. All

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: fifteen percent of naval surface commerce goes through this area.

73
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: If they actually hit now, we just hit them with

74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: retaliatory strikes. If they actually start hitting some of these ships,

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: we've got a big problem because we're going into Yemen

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: more than we already are.

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: So here's my biggest takeaway.

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 6: I believe our secretary Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was helping

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: to manage this from a hospital bed where he has

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 6: had all sorts of crippling fallout from what was supposed

81
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: to be a minor elective Proceduourney's still in the hospital.

82
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 6: Joe Biden has not addressed the United States in any way,

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 6: and basically we haven't even seen him. Obviously, they bought

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 6: into the idea that Joe Biden couldn't be among the

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 6: American public, so they hit him in their basement. We've

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 6: got a president that's hiding in the White House now,

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: or hiding at Camp David, or hiding at in Delaware.

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 6: He was down in the Virgin Islands for Christmas on

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 6: the beaches. When's the last time you saw Joe Biden

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 6: speak other than his Valley Forge and Charleston speeches, which

91
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 6: it feels like both landed very flat, almost no coverage.

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 6: They made a big show surrounding that for the most

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 6: part for weeks, he hasn't been visible. And if you

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: go back and listen, and I know, politics is basically

95
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 6: whatever one guy does, you say is wrong. But Joe

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 6: Biden was strident in his opposition to all of the

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 6: actions that Donald Trump undertook to try to make us safer,

98
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 6: and the fact that he was going to start World

99
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 6: War three. Well, now we've got war already in the

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 6: Middle East. Basically, we've got war in Europe. And it

101
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 6: feels like to me, this is a fairly substantial escalation

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 6: that we've undertaken. And you've got a Defense secretary in

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 6: his hospital bed and a president who I don't believe

104
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 6: has his mental faculties that is barely interacting with anyone

105
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 6: in a public fashion on a day to day basis.

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 6: That's scary to me from a leadership perspective.

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: It's also showing everybody right now, think about this. They're

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: firing missiles and drones. This Iranian proxy militia group. I mean,

109
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: it's it's a military, folks, it's effectively it's a non

110
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: state military force. They've got advanced weaponry, heavy weaponry. They've

111
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: been fighting against, you know, fighting against the government in

112
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: the m and for years fighting against the the Saudis

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: and their their aerial bombardments. So they're firing off at

114
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: the at ships in the Red Sea. This we we

115
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: always have to be reminded that most global commerce, actually

116
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 2: in terms of the transhipment of goods, happens on water,

117
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, if you don't have freedom of navigation,

118
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: the global economy comes to in the ocean, comes to

119
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: a screeching hole.

120
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 6: Just look at what happened when that one ship got

121
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 6: stuck sideways in the Pine Panama Canal. Everything fell apart

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 6: from a supply chain perspective. One ship just getting stuck sideways.

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: Now imagine the hoo theyes, now there's you know, there's

124
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: fortunately they don't have a very high level of of

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: you know.

126
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: Tactical ability.

127
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: But what if they get lucky clay and they hit

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: a you know, an oil tanker, and now they're they've

129
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: created an economic disaster, an ecological disaster, and we can't

130
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: allow that to continue as is. This is what the

131
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: Iranians have been threatening to do for a long time.

132
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: Their thing is always we're going to start blowing up

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: ships that are off you know, either in the Persian

134
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: Golf or in this case and going into the Red

135
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: Sea off of the Gulf of Aden. So these are

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: all the complexities of this.

137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: But we were just.

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: Talking about chain of command and the Secretary of Defense

139
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: for a few days, right, and what was the Left

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: saying it's not a big deal. No, it actually is

141
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: a big deal because things like this can happen. And

142
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: here's John Kirby telling everybody that Lloyd Austin is directing

143
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: these airstrikes in Yemen from his hospital bed.

144
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: Play three.

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: Secretary Austin ordered these strives. He's been in the hospital,

146
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: as we've been reporting since January.

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: First, can you shed more light on how he directed

148
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: these strikes from the hospital.

149
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 7: He was involved actively and intimately all day yesterday with

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 7: the National Security team here at the White House, and

151
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 7: of course with the Command in Chief, with President Biden

152
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 7: tracking all the developments and write in on all the

153
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 7: discussions and the decisions that were made. As we approached

154
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 7: the hour where we where we knew we were going

155
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 7: to go ahead and launch these strikes. He was fully

156
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 7: engaged even from his hospital bed.

157
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: You know, Clay, this goes to the common I think

158
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: you raised this point before the competency of not just Biden,

159
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: but you know there's the people around him, right, and

160
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: you say, hold on a second, what if we needed

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: a Secretary of Defense to respond within twenty minutes to

162
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: a strike which could happen, Oh, the deputies on vacation,

163
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: the Secretary Defense, no one knows where he is.

164
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 5: That could have happened a few days ago. How do

165
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 5: we ever?

166
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 6: And I'm glad you brought that up because I was

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 6: thinking about that some this morning as I was reading

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 6: about these strikes. And we see that he's in the

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 6: hospital and Biden we basically can't see at all because

170
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: yesterday there was a report, Oh, Biden's going to address

171
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 6: the nation and explain why he's undertaking.

172
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 5: This action, and then he didn't do it.

173
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 6: How is it possible that the Secretary of Defense can

174
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 6: and be at a military hospital. I believe he was

175
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 6: at Walter Reed right, Yeah, for five days and no

176
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 6: one at the White House knows he's there.

177
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I would.

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 6: Understand if he was being treated at home and he

179
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: had a health condition. But I just can't get through

180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 6: my head how it's possible for someone that prominent to

181
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 6: check into a federal hospital filled think about that, filled

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 6: with all sorts of Pentagon officials, with all sorts of

183
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 6: you would think White House related officials, and he's there

184
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 6: for five days and nobody knows that he's there. Doesn't

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 6: he have a security detail? Wouldn't there be a security

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 6: detail there protecting him? Like this is and we have

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 6: to me the scandal has been underreported. You have the

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 6: number two on vacation in Puerto Rico trying to manage

189
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: while there's two wars going on from her Puerto Rican

190
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 6: hotel room, the entire Defense Department and she didn't even

191
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 6: know that he wasn't a to do his job fully.

192
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 6: This is a crazy scandal.

193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Now, It's one thing we understand. Technology allows you know,

194
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: remote you know when the president's at camp. David Were

195
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: was like, oh, he can do work, right, we get it,

196
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: but you have to have immediate chain of come in.

197
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: You know, you don't go on vacation and the guy

198
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: with the nuclear football who's with the president gets to

199
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: go on vacation, you know, five hours away, like he's

200
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: there ready to go.

201
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: You were in the CIA.

202
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 6: Don't you think that's crazy that he could be at

203
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 6: a military hospital with a security detail and no one

204
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 6: knew where he was.

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: This is why, Clay, it's a real it's a real scandal.

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: It's not just a partisan you know moments in DC

207
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: in the news cycle. It's a real scandal. And and

208
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: it's it shows a breakdown in communication and competency. And

209
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: I would also add anyone who thinks that timing with

210
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: these kinds of things doesn't matter. Anyone who thinks that

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you can get the right person

212
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: in the right bureaucracy on the phone in time, needs

213
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: to go talk to the heroes of Benghazi who had

214
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: to fight it out for thirteen hours and fend off

215
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred guys trying to overrun one of

216
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: our facilities over there. They couldn't get the right person

217
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: on the phone. Hillary wasn't answering, Obama wasn't answering, and

218
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: they didn't get the reinforcements in time that they needed,

219
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: but they fought them off anyway, It matters to be

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: able to get the right person on the phone.

221
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 6: You remember, I might have been a decade ago or

222
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 6: so the governor of South Carolina. I think his name

223
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 6: was Mark Sandford. They couldn't figure out where he was

224
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: a hire. He was like in Patagonia or something. Yeah,

225
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 6: he was like on a hike in Latin America somewhere.

226
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 6: But I mean we're talking about the South Carolina governor. Again,

227
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 6: governor's not as important as the Secretary of Defense. But

228
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 6: it was a huge scandal that they didn't know where

229
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 6: the South Carolina governor was. And now that's also because

230
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 6: he was a Republican to understand this, right, that's how

231
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 6: That's what I was going to hit. But think about

232
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 6: the decisions that a governor of a state like South

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 6: Carolina might have to make on a day to day basis,

234
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 6: and the fact that he was a wall And I

235
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 6: think you're right because he was having in a face

236
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 6: and I don't know, he was like in the hills

237
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 6: of Patagonia or wherever he was. But it was a

238
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 6: multi day, huge scandal. We're in a time of war,

239
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 6: and I just don't understand how this guy disappear. I

240
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 6: think somebody's still not being honest on this story, because

241
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 6: I don't understand how if you have a security detail

242
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: and you walk into Walter Reed Hospital, there isn't somebody

243
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 6: at the hospital who's like, oh, we've got a highly

244
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 6: important he's sixth in the line of succession. So wouldn't

245
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 6: you think that there would be some process by which

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 6: that would occur that. I'm just kind of befuddled by

247
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 6: the way this whole story is gone.

248
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: Look, it's something that we're gonna have to keep pushing

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: on because one possible unknown unknown going into this twenty

250
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: twenty four election year is we have conflicts happening right now.

251
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: The conflicts can dramatically escalate, and this team, this Biden crew.

252
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: If you want to know how the Biden team would

253
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: handle a true Midi East war of some kind UH

254
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: involving the Iranians or whomever, look at what happened to

255
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: that Afghanistan. Look at the lack of competency and the withdrawal,

256
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 2: no doubt.

257
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 6: And so as you continue to to break all this down,

258
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: we'll take your calls. By the way, it's Friday, as

259
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 6: we always do, also Russia's birthday. We'll have some great

260
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 6: audio for you to help celebrate legendary Russian on this day.

261
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: Eight hundred two two eight a two.

262
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: As always, Look, guys are not always great at finding

263
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: solutions to health issues. We can drag our feet sometimes

264
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: that may be stereotypical, but there's truth to it. You

265
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: don't want to make a big deal of something and

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: you end up finding a workaround if it's not a

267
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: solution as much as a band aid at best. Something

268
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: as straightforward as not having enough energy to get through

269
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: the day without a lot of caffeine or energy drinks.

270
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: Having all day energy happens when you have the right

271
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: levels of testosterone, the right hormone balance, which you know

272
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: is tougher, especially as you get older. How do you

273
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,760

Speaker 6: Friday edition. This will be the absolute final show of

298
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four where there will not be votes being

299
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 6: cast for the president of the United States. That is

300
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 6: pretty interesting to think about it. Monday will be the

301
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 6: very first day that Buck and I have set in

302
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: this seat when there have been presidential votes being cast.

303

Speaker 6: tying it in with the world that we're in today.

306
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 6: That's still to come, but wanted to make sure that

307
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 6: we get that off the top of the second hour.

308
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 6: We are reacting to what I would say are explosive

309
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 6: reports about alleged potential criminal behavior by Fanny Willis in

310
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 6: Georgia in her investigation into Donald Trump. And for those

311
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 6: of you out there, as we were talking about, it's

312
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 6: not just that she may have hired her paramore, her

313
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: mister her I refused to say jigglow. Her sancho is

314
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 6: one of the I've not heard that term before. Her

315
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 6: lover broken up his marriage, giving him six hundred and

316
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars. To me, that is the entree point

317
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 6: for potentially getting her to give up the goods on

318
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 6: a conspiracy centered at the White House to try to

319
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 6: put Donald Trump, the chief political rival of the sitting

320
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 6: president of the United States in prison for the rest

321
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 6: of his life and remove his name from the bout,

322
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 6: which is the most anti democratic act that anyone alive

323
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: today has ever experienced by a man Joe Biden, ironically enough,

324
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 6: who was centering much of his twenty twenty four campaign

325
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,479
Speaker 6: on the idea that he is trying to preserve democracy

326
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 6: by putting his chief political rival in prison and taking

327
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 6: him off the ballot, something that's never occurred in any

328
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 6: of our lives.

329
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 5: So that is out there. This story is not going away.

330
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 6: If we had an honest media, they would actually be

331
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: pulling the threads and examining all of this. By the way,

332
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 6: this all came about that we know any of it

333
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 6: at all because of a filing by one of the defendants.

334
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 6: I believe there were initially nineteen defendants in this case

335
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 6: being covered in the New York Times and in the

336
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 6: Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post and everywhere else,

337
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 6: because the salacious nature of these allegations is such that

338
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 6: it's hard to ignore, and there hasn't been a responsive

339
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 6: defense from Fanny Willis saying oh, this is all untrue,

340
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 6: and there is a divorce proceeding underway where she is

341
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 6: named as a witness by the woman who alleges that

342
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 6: she broke up the marriage of her and the husband.

343
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 6: So all of this is underway, and I think is

344
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 6: a big story. Wawfair is going to be probably the

345
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 6: number one story of the entire twenty twenty four campaign.

346
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 6: Which brings me, Buck to another update we need to give.

347
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 6: After a lot of illogical, inconsistent, and unhelpful legal maneuvers,

348
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 6: Hunter Biden now says, Oh, by the way, I will

349
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 6: sit for this deposition that the House wants to conduct

350
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 6: of me relating to their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden

351
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 6: and Buck. This is a big deal because Hunter showed

352
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 6: up on the day he was supposed to appear at

353
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: the Capitol and had a press conference outdoors.

354
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 5: We covered that this week.

355
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 6: He randomly showed up as they were considering contempt citations.

356
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 6: And I think what happened is the if somebody got

357
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 6: to Joe Biden. Here's what I think happened. I think

358
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 6: somebody got to Joe Biden and they said, your son's

359
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 6: in a heap of trouble. We prosecuted Steve Bannon for

360
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 6: defying a congressional subpoena. This is going to get put

361
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 6: on Merrick Garland's desk. He's already facing felony charges, by

362
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 6: the way, set for trial in June of twenty twenty

363
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 6: four on both the East and the West coast. Right now,

364
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 6: the far A failure to register as a foreign agent

365
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 6: claim is still hanging out there and should and probably

366
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 6: should be brought. I don't know if it will be brought.

367
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 6: And now you're gonna ask us to somehow distinguish between

368
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: you and Steve Bannon. He needs to show up. This

369
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 6: is a mess, and I think that's what happened.

370
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: You buy it?

371
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 6: What do you think is going on here that Hunter

372
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 6: suddenly is saying, you know, okay, I will show up

373
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 6: and answer questions.

374
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: There's certainly the possibility that Hunter went rogue. You know,

375
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: this wasn't exactly a well thought out strategy with the

376
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: White House, and now the backlash has resulted in in

377
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: a change of course here. But I do think that

378
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 2: that showing up and creating that circus. This is now

379
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: where we are both sides effect Trump and Biden are

380
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: and the people that vote for them and then that

381
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: believe in them, and they're both taking the position that

382
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: the precedings the legal proceedings against.

383
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 5: Their team are invalid.

384
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: Right, That's really what this is. This is whether you're

385
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: on the Trump side of the Biden side, it's this

386
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: is all just a political hit. Now, of course, given

387
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: where we sit, given how we see the world, Clay

388
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: our response to this is, well, yeah, it actually is

389
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: a political hit against Trump where you know, who had

390
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: never been a criminal his whole life until he was

391
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: president and then almost eighty years old, and suddenly he's

392
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: like the mastermind criminal, right and also the primary political

393
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: rival of Joe Biden.

394
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: Hunter.

395
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: Biden's been getting away with crimes for the last decade,

396
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: probably more, I should note. I mean this, you know,

397
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: he didn't just start doing drugs, right, I mean, this

398
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: guy's been doing stuff for many decades now. It's just

399
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: the stuff that we know about, and was getting away

400
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: with it until now. But they have to create a

401
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: you know, they have to create a money up the

402
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: waters situation here so that the Democrats can say, well,

403
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: you know, Trump is indicted Hunters and died undided. Let

404
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: the chips fall where they may.

405
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and and people out there say, okay, explain

406
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: what's going on with Hunter as it pertains to this situation.

407
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 6: I think you have to look at the Steve Bannon story.

408
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: And Steve Bannon refused to comply with the congressional subpoena.

409
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 6: It was referred to Merrick Garland. They brought charges against him,

410
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 6: they convict him, convicted him. I think they're still an

411
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 6: appeal associated with that. But basically, Steve Bannon has set

412
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 6: a precedent now in the Biden White House and in

413
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 6: the Justice Department that if you don't comply with a subpoena,

414
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 6: you get charged with a criminal offense. And I think

415
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 6: somebody in the White House, maybe it was Joe Biden himself,

416
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 6: finally sat down with Hunter and said, like, none of

417
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 6: this really adds up. And any warrior out there can

418
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 6: tell you that sometimes you have a knucklehead for a client,

419
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 6: and ultimately the client gets to make the call, even

420
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 6: if you're advising him to do different things. The showing

421
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 6: up at the contempt hearing this week and then storming

422
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 6: out when Marjorie Taylor Green started to talk, it was

423
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 6: super strange behavior. And the only thing I can think

424
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 6: legally is that they were going to try to argue

425
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 6: that unlike Steve Bannon, they showed up and they were

426
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 6: disputing the way in which the deposition would occur as

427
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 6: opposed to refusing to go completely. But I think the

428
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 6: White House said that's really a tough putt to suck

429
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 6: the sink.

430
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: That's my expectation. But this is why we circle around earlier. Buck.

431
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 6: This Hunter thing ain't going away. And I understand your

432
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 6: argument that Hunter, Biden and all this against surrounding him

433
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 6: don't impact the way that people vote.

434
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: I think it's very much a media and DC insider phenomenona.

435
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: I do not think that people in swing states are

436
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: sitting around carrying one bit about and now can I

437
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: add I think.

438
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 5: They should care.

439
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: But part of the issue here is that they've been

440
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: very successful in making us about Hunter not paying his taxes,

441
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 2: Hunter doing drugs, and separating it from Hunter was collecting

442
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party to influence

443
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: Daddy to do what China wanted that I think would

444
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: But that's not the sentiment from this, you know what

445
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean? That has been a media campaigns. They'll say, oh, fine,

446
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: he didn't pay his taxes. He didn't pay taxes on

447
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: basically bribe money for the Biden crime family meant to

448
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: influence US foreign policy in the direction of the Chinese

449
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: Communist Party.

450
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: That way, where I do think it impacts and we'll see, right,

451
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 6: we finally get starting to be cast on Monday real quick.

452
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: I mean the the Him Biden laptop us some polling

453
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: that showed that that would have changed some votes right before,

454
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: which obviously why the panic and the Twitter suppression and

455
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: all the rest of it at Facebook suppression. I would

456
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: just add, though, my point of your clay is, yeah,

457
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: but that was three you know, we've been going through

458
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: three years of this now, right. I just think that

459
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: it's kind of people have become numb to it, but

460
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: keep going.

461
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 6: Sorry, yeah, I mean no, no, I mean I think

462
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 6: all that's important, and I do think it would have

463
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 6: been impactful in twenty Where I think it's important is

464
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 6: I think it really has undercut the argument that Joe

465
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 6: Biden tried to make because I think there's a lot

466
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 6: of people out there. I'm talking about independent voters in

467
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 6: general who just say, if it's going to be Trump v. Biden,

468
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 6: basically all politicians are corrupt. Trump's corrupt, I'm saying it

469
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 6: from an independent voter perspective, and Biden's corupt.

470
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 5: Now why does that matter?

471
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 6: Because in twenty twenty, if you would ask that question,

472
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 6: the Democrats had done a good job of trying to

473
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 6: sell the idea that Trump was but Biden was selling

474
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 6: himself as a cleansing agent who was going to come

475
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 6: in with this great purity and restore.

476
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 5: This choo and helps the Union guys all alive.

477
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 6: Where I think that has impacted things is the revelations

478
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 6: of Hunter for independent voters. And again I'm talking about

479
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 6: independent voters out there, because some people don't listen very

480
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 6: careful with like Trump's not corrupt.

481
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 5: You know, you get all these emails.

482
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 6: No, I'm saying, take it out of your world, right,

483
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 6: Think about it from the perspective of somebody who's not

484
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 6: paying a lot of attention to politics, who probably just

485
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 6: wants there to be some level of confidence and less noise.

486
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 6: Biden hit that right for independent voters that note, and

487
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 6: a lot of suburban women, which we're going to talk

488
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: about a great deal throughout twenty twenty four, a lot

489
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 6: of suburban women just want things to be quiet and normal.

490
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 6: They didn't want the Shenanigans, they didn't want the charade.

491
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 6: Now with Hunter and all these revelations coming out at minimum,

492
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 6: who do you trust and or who's corrupt. I think

493
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 6: it's a pox on both their houses, so to speak.

494
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 6: I think there's almost no advantage for Biden, and I

495
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 6: think that is impactful on the margins for those independent

496
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 6: voters out there who wanted to buy into the idea

497
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 6: that Biden was going to make things normal again. That

498
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 6: was really the argument at the centrality of Biden's twenty

499
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 6: twenty campaign, I'll make things normal again. I really think

500
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 6: that had an impact.

501
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's certainly normal in the context of COVID, and

502
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: there was also a lot of Trump is in aberration

503
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: in politics and a disturbance in the force and basically Hitler, right.

504
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: I mean that was a part of it too. They

505
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: even people who don't buy into that hysteria, Clay, there's

506
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 2: always the and I was worried about this in twenty twenty.

507
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: I think this is a very real phenomenon. There were

508
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: people who were just beaten down by the shrieking, purple

509
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: haired lunatics screaming that Trump is Hitler, that they just

510
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: wanted to make the noise stop, do you know what

511
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: I mean. It's not that they believe that they're like fine, fine,

512
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: we'll go with the old loser, Joe Biden. Just stop

513
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: telling me that you know Trump is going to destroy

514
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: the world. I think that at some level that that

515
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: does have as that has a role in all of

516
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: this too. There are some swing vote, some independence who

517
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: they just wanted the noise to stop. I don't know

518
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: how they're going to feel this time.

519
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that's where I think it's so that's

520
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 6: where I think it's so impactful.

521
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 5: Honestly, I just think.

522
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 6: That Biden is his overall legitimacy has been struck a

523
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: really crippling blow, and we'll see how exactly it ends

524
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 6: up shaking out again. Monday people can start to make

525
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 6: their first votes. But I think there's a boy who

526
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 6: cried wolf scenario.

527
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 5: This is my big theory.

528
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 6: On twenty twenty four, you told me that Trump was

529
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 6: hitler and that you would make things normal again, and

530
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 6: things are worse, and suddenly Trump doesn't look so bad,

531
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 6: I think for a lot of people out there. So

532
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 6: we'll break all this down and more as we consider one.

533
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: Throughout your way to just a general thing, Clay, the

534
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: people who are screaming about how Trump is hitler probably

535
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: don't have a good grasp on what normalcy is, you

536
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like anyone who goes to that

537
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: length shouldn't then be lecturing you on.

538
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: You need to restore normalcy in America.

539
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you're one hundred percent right on that. We'll

540
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 6: take up some of your calls, by the way, eight

541
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 6: hundred and two two two eight a two. We're also

575
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: You want to give us, We got a lot. We've

576
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: got too much to talk about today and not enough time.

577
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Let's jump into Monday real quick. What are your expectations

578
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: and how do you think the Iowa caucuses play out

579
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: based on what we're seeing.

580
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: Well, let's listening to the last half hour of your show,

581
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: and you were talking about the perception of Trump and

582
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: Biden in the election that doesn't have much ado in Iowa.

583
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: So the MAGA people are in charge of the caucus

584
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: there and they can't be any cheating because everybody goes

585
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: in person, they wander around and they cast a ballot.

586
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: Then you can see them and drop the ballot in

587
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: so and the MAGA people will rally to Trump because

588
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: there isn't a reason to defect at this point. So

589
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: then the media then says, Okay, we're rooting for Nikki Hayley,

590
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: which the corporate media is, and we want her to

591
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: at least get thirty percent out of this. I don't

592
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: think she's going to hit that mark, and ioway she

593
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: has not been campaigning there very much. Dissatus put everything

594
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: in there. I spent a lot of money. He's not

595
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: gonna do well, and then he'll have to drop out

596
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. So you know, say about Iran and then

597
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: Trump he wins it, but he doesn't gain very much

598
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: because everybody expected him to win it. And then New

599
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: Hampshire on the twenty third of January, that's a whole

600
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: different story because there's a big lot of big money

601
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: going in there to convince left leaning Democrats who register

602
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 3: as independents to vote for Haley. That's what the corporate

603
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: media and the Democratic Party want. They want Haley to

604
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: show very well in New Hampshire so that the media

605
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: has two full weeks before South Carolina to just pound

606
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: Trump into putting as a loser. And that's the overarche

607
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: on the initial voting.

608
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 6: So does it matter because we've been talking on this

609
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 6: show for a while about Oh, it's going to be

610
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 6: man versus man or man versus woman, right, a one

611
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 6: on one battle. So let's say it's Ron DeSantis one

612
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: on one. Let's say it's Nicki Haley one on one.

613
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 6: Can either one of them beat Trump? Or in your mind,

614
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: is the Republican nomination even before people vote Monday on

615
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 6: Iowa based on what you're seeing basically done and Trump's

616
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 6: the guy.

617
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is. But because he's Donald Trump,

618
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: no one knows what's going to happen on Monday. I'm

619
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: not Monday Iowa Caucus, but just Monday generic. Anything could

620
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: happen at any time. It's like a pioneer in a

621
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: covered wagon going to Crossway, Wyoming in eighteen fifty. You

622
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: better watch around, and anything it happened. So at this

623
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: point the election where hell tomorrow, and Republicans would vote

624
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: for Trump because they want an avenger the magat people

625
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: and conservative Republicans not only one a Republican president, they

626
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 3: want somebody to go in there and dissemble the aggressive movement.

627
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: And neither Haley or DeSantis has come across as someone

628
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: who would do that. You know, I want to say Haley,

629
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: uh uh DeSantis debate on CNN, I almost fell asleep.

630
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we switched off to the both of us.

631
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but they just what do you you know,

632
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: you're not. I don't see any passion. I don't see

633
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 3: any point of view that is different than what I've

634
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: heard five million times. And in order to be a

635
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: guy like Trump is so flamboyant and so out there,

636
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta bring it, and none of the

637
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: Republican candidates come close to him and the ability to

638
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: get attention and rile people up.

639
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 5: We're speaking of Bill O'Riley.

640
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: Go to the Bill Oreilly dot com site for the

641
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: No Spin News and Bill, you know, we've spent a

642
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: little bit of time today talking about the various legal

643
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: stratagems that Democrats are deploying against Donald Trump. It seems

644
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: like some of these are well starting to all look

645
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: like one big dumpster fire. Do you think that that

646
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: they is that your sense? I mean, have they miscalculated?

647
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 2: Is it falling apart?

648
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 5: How do you view this?

649
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: Well, the civil suit in New York is just absurd,

650
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 3: and I think that'll go into the federal court system.

651
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: The fix is in. It shouldn't be brought in the

652
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: first place. There's no victim. You've heard it all. But

653
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 3: keep your eye on this Atlanta, Georgia Fulden County situation

654
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 3: with Fanny Willis. Remember the Beg song Fanny Be Tender

655
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: with My Love. I love this song and every time

656
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: I see Fanny, I sort to hummet. Now, Fanny is

657
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 3: prosecuting Trump and a few of his accolytes for interfering

658
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: with the Georgia vote. But Fanny apparently hires a prosecutor

659
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: with whom she's having an affair and pays him up

660
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: to a million dollars in salary and expenses, And as

661
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: part of that, the guy goes to the White House twice.

662
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: Pretty big story. Is the White House coordinating Fanny's prosecution

663
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 3: to Trump and the others? What's you think so I have? Yeah,

664
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: you know, Bill, he build Fanny and Fulton County for

665
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 3: the visits this guy. I mean, this is a huge story,

666
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: but you'll never see it on the corporate media. Fox

667
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: covered it a little, but I don't think Fox understands

668
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: how big the story is because this is prosecutorial misconduct.

669
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: I just, I just, I'm sorry to cut you off,

670
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 6: but I just spent you know, twenty or thirty minutes

671
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 6: hammering home why I think this is so important. And

672
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 6: I said, look, at a minimum, this is the benefit

673
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 6: of having people in the state of Georgia. We know

674
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 6: we're not going to get the Department of Justice to

675
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 6: be honest. But Bill, don't you think that Brian Camp

676
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 6: or someone in the upper echelons of the Georgia state

677
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: power should be investigating this investigations too?

678
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Camp has to owner the Attorney General to investigate

679
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: prosecutortorial misconduct on a part of Fanny Willis period. And

680
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 3: even if he doesn't, again, this will go to federal court.

681
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: Even though it's a state beef, it will get thrown out.

682
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: The whole thing is going to get thrown out. I

683
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: predict it right now on the klan Buck Show.

684
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: Bill, you know these we get all these people that

685
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: are that are giving different interpretations of what the polls

686
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: right now really mean. For Trump being so far ahead

687
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: of Biden. I got people, We get people calling in

688
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: here that are saying, Oh, this is all meant to

689
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: depress turnout, or oh this is all some kind of

690
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: a sigh of how do you see it? Is this

691
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: just the reality that Biden is so weak, that Trump

692
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: is far out ahead, and Democrats are panicking. How do

693
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: you assess that?

694
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: Well, it's an emotional time in America, and almost every

695
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 3: week we see the progress have left doing heinous things.

696
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: I mean Gaza and Hamas, all of that. And Joe

697
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: Biden is the progressive left president, the most radical left

698
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: president in the history of this republic by far, nobody

699
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 3: even a close second to Biden. And so that people

700
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 3: are emotional now and they don't like this progressive movement.

701
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: They might not like Trump, but if Trump is the

702
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: only alternative to Biden four more years of that, then

703
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 3: they're going to go with Trump. Not all of them,

704
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: but a big segment of the independence And that's what

705
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: you're seeing. But you know, those polls, they can switch

706
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 3: back pretty fast. Now you were talking about Hunter Biden.

707
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: Here's the Hunter Biden. The importance of Hunter Biden. So

708
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden is embarrassing his father. Now, Joe Biden might

709
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: not even know that, because he's not real cognizant these days,

710
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 3: but he's embarrassing his father. I said on the Noseman News,

711
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 3: if Teddy Roosevelt's sons had done what Joe Hunter Biden's doing,

712
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 3: Teddy would have thrown him a noise to Bay. They

713
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 3: just kicked them right out of the house. So if Joe Biden,

714
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 3: as a father and the president of the United they

715
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 3: should do is today say honey, you pay all the

716
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 3: back taxes. They say, you will, say them right now.

717
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: Have your Hollywood guys funding all your bills right to

718
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 3: check today? Right? Instead we hear, oh, I'm proud of

719
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 3: my son, and what are you proud of that he

720
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 3: tried to kick drugs? Okay, but that's not the issue here.

721
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: The issue is that the demand has charged with nine

722
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: felonies in California federal pieces and are you proud of that?

723
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: You don't hear a word, and the media, of course

724
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: slides over it. So the reason that Hunter Biden wouldn't

725
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: go and sit for the deposition for the Oversight Committee

726
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: in the House is because you don't have a time

727
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: limit on that. And if in public you have five

728
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 3: minute increments where you cabuster, you can fill about, you

729
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 3: don't have to answer anything. You can fill a bus

730
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 3: for all day long.

731
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 6: And they alternate where you're getting Democrats talking about what

732
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 6: a great sign you are.

733
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who it is. In five minutes, you're

734
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: not going to get anything from a guy who wants

735
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 3: to obfuscate the issue. But in a deposition you got

736
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: to sit there under oath and answer very telling questions.

737
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: And the big question is how much money did your

738
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: father derive from this? What did you give him in loans?

739
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: Would you give him payback? Well, that's never going to

740
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: happen in a public that's what this is all about.

741
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: It's another con another grift. So oh yeah, I'll answer

742
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: a questions of public, but I'm not going to answer

743
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: a question in private. What And again, if you're the

744
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: president and he's your son, you go sit for the deposition.

745
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: That's what did you tell him to do?

746
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 5: Which Donald Trump Junior did five times?

747
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: And leading into that, By the way, Bill, I want

748
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 6: to get this last question for you before we have

749
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 6: to go to break. You and me are on the

750
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 6: side of truth, justice and one hundred accuracy.

751
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: Buck.

752
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 5: Of course, the opposite of that.

753
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: You and I.

754
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 6: Bill believe that the Joe Biden train is eventually coming

755
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 6: off the tracks. So I'm curious as you look at

756
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 6: the scene right now. Obviously the polls look good for Trump.

757
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 6: We got the first votes of twenty twenty four coming Monday.

758
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 6: How do the Democrats maneuver to get Biden off the ballot?

759
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 6: To you as now voting has started, what do the

760
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 6: next few months look like?

761
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 5: And where we headed?

762
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: Well, it's easy. So Michelle Obama on Monday shows up

763
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: on the Jay Shetty podcast. Did you guys talk about that?

764
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah I did. Very excited, Yeah, very excited.

765
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: Jay Shetty, not clamb Up, not Bill, O'Reilly Jay Shetty,

766
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: one hour, five minutes, guys a former monk. I guess

767
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 3: they had wind chimes and incense. I guess they all. Okay,

768
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: why done that book to sell? Hasn't dined with Oprah

769
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 3: lately that I know of, and have an album out?

770
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: Why is she doing that? Michelle Obama and her husband,

771
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 3: Barack Obama do nothing spontaneously. Ever, there's the reason why

772
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 3: she did it, and that reason is to send a

773
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: signal to the Democratic Party. I'm here. So Joe Biden

774
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: easily could, no matter how many delegates he has, could

775
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: say in July, two weeks before the Democratic convention in Chicago,

776
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: I can't do it for medical reasons. I'm resigning and

777
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 3: I'm turning my delegates over to Missus Obama.

778
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 5: I'm with you. I'm just telling you too.

779
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: Right now, we're going to replay this in like July

780
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: or August, and we're going to be taking photos of

781
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: me eating the most delicious code beef imaginable.

782
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 3: And Bill, I'm not predicting that one happen. I'm just

783
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: saying it's easy for it to happen.

784
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 5: Oh okay, all right, that.

785
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: Everyone is aware of. And this is another story everybody's overlooked.

786
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom took himself off the board as a legitimate

787
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 3: presidential candidate First Party when he announced that he's paying

788
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: all the health benefits to undocumented Yeah, that was it,

789
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: that was all. It's over. You cannot win with that

790
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 3: on your resume.

791
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 5: We're going to see We're going to see Clay. We're

792
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 5: going to replay this.

793
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: So Bill is saying it's very possible you are saying Clay,

794
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: it's going to happen.

795
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 5: I'm sill the hell will freeze over before this happens.

796
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

797
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 6: My theory is that in the polls could change.

798
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 2: Right, we know, we know, we know you think Michelle

799
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: it's good, but I'm telling you, but if the polls

800
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: don't change, it's going to be Michelle. All right, Bill,

801
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: Everyone should go to Billarilly dot com. No Spin news

834
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 6: we're going to dive into in this final hour. This

835
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 6: is the last hour of the show this year where

836
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 6: there will not be votes having been cast on the

837
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four election. Monday is the Iowa Caucus. What

838
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 6: is the situation on the ground there will give you

839
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 6: the absolute latest as Trump tries to score a commanding victory,

840
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 6: as Ron DeSantis and Nikki Hayley try to grab second

841
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 6: place and or make a run at the margin that

842
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 6: Donald Trump is able to win Iowa Bye. We will

843
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 6: contextualize that, let you know everything that's going on. We'll

844
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 6: take a lot of your calls. We will also continue

845
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 6: to discuss the scandal in Georgia that is mostly being overlooked.

846
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 6: Fanny Willis the DA in Fulton County giving six hundred

847
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 6: and fifty thousand dollars to her lover to investigate Donald

848
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 6: Trump taxpayer dollars. A guy who otherwise is doing car

849
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 6: accident cases gets six hundred and fifty thousand dollars to

850
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: investigate Donald Trump. Fanny Willis allegedly breaks up his marriage

851
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 6: and has been taking extravagant vacations that he paid for

852
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 6: with the money from the state that she gave to

853
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 6: him to go after Donald Trump. All of this a

854
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 6: huge story. Why does it matter? We will put it

855
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 6: into context for all all of you. But as we

856
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 6: get ready, by the way, you can load it up. Also,

857
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 6: it's Friday. If I've said or Buck has said anything

858
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 6: that you disagree with this week, or the week before,

859
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 6: or anytime in recent history. You can lay out your grievances.

860
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 6: You can call in eight hundred.

861
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 5: And two eighty two to eight eight two. It is

862
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 5: open line Friday.

863
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 6: We'll take as many of your calls as we can

864
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 6: as we move throughout the course of this hour. But

865
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 6: I wanted to make sure that we honored Rush Limbaugh

866
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 6: the legend on his birthday. And we have a clip

867
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 6: that I wanted to play for all of you that

868
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 6: producer Ali got for all of you to be able

869
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 6: to listen to and reminder we still have the same

870
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 6: staff working on this program that worked with Rush, including

871
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 6: producer Ali, who's been with him for twenty years. Ali,

872
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 6: you can pull up your mic if you want here, uh,

873
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 6: because you've been with Rush for so long before Buck

874
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 6: and I were here. I think it's always worth mentioning

875
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 6: how many people are still working on this show that

876
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 6: were a part of the Rush show. The team is

877
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 6: to a large extent still intact behind the scenes. For

878
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 6: people out there who've been listening to this show for

879
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 6: a long time, how many people do we have on

880
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 6: the show that were with Russian? How long have you

881
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 6: guys now been in this time slot working together.

882
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 8: Well, we have pretty much the majority of our staff

883
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 8: still with us, with you and You and Buck, and

884
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 8: it kind of hard to imagine that it's been this

885
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 8: many decades. I feel like I'm aging myself.

886
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it is pretty incredible to think about

887
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 6: how many of those people have been fighting the good

888
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 6: fight for so long, and including producer Ali, who does

889
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: incredible work getting all the guests that you hear on

890
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 6: this program, along with many other aspects such as she

891
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 6: never knows what she's walking into trying to investigate what

892
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 6: the term is for a male mistress.

893
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 5: You got to keep your head on a swivel.

894
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 6: Here, by the way, the guy who was paid six

895
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty thousand dollars Nathan Wade, two person law

896
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 6: firm Wade in Campbell. And you can get into a

897
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 6: car accident and retain this guy, I just would point

898
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 6: out to you you're probably not at the apex of

899
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 6: the Atlanta legal community when it comes to criminal law.

900
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 6: If you can get into a car accident and call

901
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 6: this guy and get him to represent you, and there's

902
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 6: no way that he was making big money and suddenly

903
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 6: he gets six hundred and fifty thousand dollars from his

904
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 6: lover who is paying him with your taxpayer dollars again,

905
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 6: State of Georgia. I don't understand how there isn't a

906
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 6: massive investigation. This may well be criminal at a minimum.

907
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 6: I think it requires Fanny Willis to not be involved,

908
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 6: along with many other people on this case. But I

909
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 6: want to continue to start off third hour here. Happy

910
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 6: birthday to Rush Limbaugh. We've got a couple of clips

911
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 6: for you. This is in March of twenty fifteen. A

912
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 6: caller tells Rush, you're my coach and motivational speaker. This

913
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 6: is a couple of minutes back from March of twenty fifteen.

914
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 6: Happy birthday, Rush, this is a clip that I think

915
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 6: all of you will enjoy.

916
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 3: I used to listen to you as a for a

917
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: motivational speaker because you always expected more out of people than.

918
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 5: They thought they had themselves.

919
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 4: And for that reason, I always called you a coach

920
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 4: and I had to listen to you.

921
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 9: Thanks a lot, Cooch, Well, I appreciate that.

922
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 5: I you know what, You're right.

923
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 9: I do have high expectations of people, and it's one

924
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 9: of the reasons i'm so often I'm disappointed, not with

925
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 9: people in this audience. But I do have I have

926
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 9: high expectations of people in their ability to learn. I

927
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 9: have high expectations of people to see the truth. I

928
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 9: have high expectations of people being open to the truth

929
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 9: and being able to be persuaded to it. I have

930
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 9: high expectations of people being able to accomplish more than

931
00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 9: they think they.

932
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 5: Can, and it has You're absolutely right.

933
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 9: It is one of the unstated attitudinal characteristics of me

934
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 9: hosting the program, Incumbent with the way I do it

935
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 9: and the way I talk about things and the things

936
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 9: I talk about is the expectation that everybody's going to

937
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 9: understand what I say and with the high hope that

938
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 9: everybody's going to believe it and act on it. And

939
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 9: it's because I have those high expectations of people. I

940
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 9: grew up with high expectations. I had all kinds of

941
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 9: pressure that way, and I found out it's great motivation.

942
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 9: The soft bigotry of low expectation will kill you. I mean,

943
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 9: it will destroy people and the opportunity they have to

944
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 9: maximize their potential, either as human beings or as employees

945
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 9: or career workers or whatever it is. If people don't

946
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 9: expect much of you, the you'll give them what they expect.

947
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 9: Low expectations do not inspire, do not motivate. So you've

948
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 9: you've actually identified something that is a constant ingredient, if

949
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 9: you will, of the attitude I arrived to the Golden

950
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 9: EiV microphone with every.

951
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 6: Day so well said, and Rush, as many of you know,

952
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 6: was a monster football fan, talked about becoming an NFL

953
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 6: owner in his home state of Missouri back when the

954
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 6: Rams still played there. I remember following that story and

955
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 6: I thought this was interesting because this week, as he

956
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 6: was talking about coaching and high expectations and the importance

957
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 6: of expecting more than maybe people think they can give themselves,

958
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 6: we had probably the two greatest coaches in their respective

959
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 6: sports in college, Nick Saban and with the Alabama Crimson

960
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 6: tie and in New England Bill Belichick with the New

961
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,959
Speaker 6: England Patriots. And I know Rush would have watched many

962
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 6: of those guys games over the last generation and enjoyed

963
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 6: the lessons that they were imparting. And Nick Saban, I thought,

964
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 6: tied in with what Rush was just saying there. And

965
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 6: we have a little clip from Nick Saban talking about

966
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 6: how well, let me just play it, and this is

967
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 6: good work by producer Ali to go track this down

968
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 6: because I think it so intertwines with the message that

969
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 6: Rush was just sharing and connects it to what's going

970
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 6: on today. Listen to Nick Saban talk about expectations, much

971
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 6: like Rush just was.

972
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 10: Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't

973
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 10: like mediocre people. So if everybody doesn't buy into the

974
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 10: same principles and values of the organization is the same

975
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 10: high standard, you're never going to be successful. Just like

976
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 10: our spring practice right now. You know what my goal

977
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 10: with spring practices Get the right guys on the bus,

978
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,919
Speaker 10: get them in the right seats, and get the wrong

979
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 10: guys off the bus.

980
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 6: You know, I also thought about this yesterday Nick Saban

981
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 6: did an interview, and by the way, I think Rush

982
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 6: would have been nodding along with a lot of what

983
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 6: Nick Saban said, Because anybody out there who's involved in

984
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 6: coaching anything knows that you're trying to get the apex

985
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 6: out of whatever your team has. And I've coached, trust me,

986
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 6: very low level. I've coached my boys sporting teams. You know,

987
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 6: whether it's whether it's flag football, whether it is whether

988
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 6: it's baseball, whether it's soccer, I've been involved poorly, I

989
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 6: should mention as typically an assistant coach, maybe doing more

990
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 6: of that with my three boys. But what I think

991
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 6: is interesting about this is it's about your awareness of

992
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 6: what you are capable of. And I think Rush would

993
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 6: have spoken to that well, starting off with a small

994
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 6: audience and building it into a big audience. But I

995
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 6: thought about this yesterday when I was watching Nick Saban

996
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 6: explain why he was retiring at seventy two years old.

997
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 6: He said he didn't have the energy and stamina to

998
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 6: do his job at the high level that he expected,

999
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 6: and so rather than not be able to do the

1000
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 6: job at the level that he believed was necessary to

1001
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 6: be the most effective version of himself, he said, it's

1002
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 6: time for me to retire. And I just thought, wouldn't

1003
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 6: you like to hear a politician say that. Wouldn't you

1004
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 6: like to hear Joe Biden just say, guys, regardless of

1005
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 6: your politics, I just don't have the ability to do

1006
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 6: this job anymore. And it tied in with a question

1007
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 6: that I've been asking that I think goes to the

1008
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 6: essence of why so many people are disappointed about the

1009
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 6: political representation that we have in this country today? Why

1010
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 6: do we hold our football coaches, high school, college, and

1011
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 6: pro to a higher standard of job performance than we

1012
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 6: do our politicians. When when I was sitting there listening

1013
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 6: to Nick Saban say he didn't have the energy to

1014
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 6: do the job at that was required to do it well,

1015
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 6: I thought to myself, Man, I wish Joe Biden at

1016
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 6: eighty one had that level of self awareness. And I

1017
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 6: also thought, what does it say about our country if

1018
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 6: a football coach has to work harder at coaching football

1019
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 6: than a politician does at being the president of the

1020
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 6: United States.

1021
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 5: I would, right now, no.

1022
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 6: Joke, one billion percent, rather have Nick Saban or Bill

1023
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 6: Belichick as president of the United States than Joe Biden.

1024
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 6: And I don't even know their politics. I just know

1025
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 6: that they're super hard working, that they don't take crap,

1026
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 6: that they won't settle for mediocrity. And I think if

1027
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 6: Russia were with us here right now, he'd bend in

1028
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 6: his head and saying you know what, me too, So

1029
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 6: happy birthday. Rush will take some of your calls. I'm

1030
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 6: going to dive back into why this Fanny Willis story

1031
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 6: in Atlanta is potentially the thread that destroys all of

1032
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 6: the criminal charges that are being brought against Donald Trump,

1033
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 6: and why I think the State of Georgia and all

1034
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 6: of its leadership has to open a big investigation. But

1035
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 6: as we go to break, Congressman Jim Jordan just shared

1036
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 6: this story. The House Judiciary Committee has announced an investigation

1037
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 6: into the Fulton County Special Prosecutor. And we'll talk about

1038
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 6: this a little bit more when we come back. Why

1039
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,439
Speaker 6: in the world is the federal government doing its job

1040
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 6: better than the State of Georgia's government. There needs to

1041
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 6: be a full fledged investigation opened into six hundred and

1042
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars in your taxpayer dollars in Georgia paid

1043
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 6: for the Paramore, the Jigglow, the mister A lot of you,

1044
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 6: with a variety of the historys was one suggestion that

1045
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 6: a lot of you have for what a woman's boy

1046
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 6: friend mistress should be called. I'll tell you what I

1047
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 6: think it could be criminal. We'll talk about that when

1048
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 6: we come back. But why are you paying attention out

1049
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 6: there right now? We're just talking about Nick Saban, Bill Belichick,

1050
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 6: Russe Linbaugh, the expectations of superior performance. Have you paid

1051
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 6: attention to the fact that the wild Card weekend is

1052
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 6: coming up. There's gonna be six NFL playoff games. Buffalo

1053
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 6: is expecting potentially a foot of snow during their game.

1054
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 6: Did you know that in Kansas City they're expecting for

1055
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 6: it to potentially be minus thirty degrees win chill for

1056
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 6: their game against the Miami Dolphins, where all of you

1057
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 6: like buck down in South Florida living in great weather,

1058
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 6: the Dolphins are going to have to play the Miami

1059
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 6: Dolphins football team minus thirty degree weather conditions. And you know,

1060
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 6: Prize Picks is a really fun company that I'm encouraging

1061
00:57:54,520 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 6: you guys to check out, especially if you live in Texas, California, Georgia.

1062
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 6: We just talked about Georgia and needing to get active

1063
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 6: in this Fanny Willis case. You know a lot of

1064
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 6: you guys in those three states in particular, you feel

1065
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 6: left out because you haven't been able to make picks.

1066
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 6: Drive across state borders all of a sudden, you can

1067
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:13,919
Speaker 6: make picks everywhere else. You can do this all over

1068
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 6: the country. But I just think if you're listening in California,

1069
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 6: Texas and Georgia and you felt felt left out, I've

00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 6: gonna give you one. This pick pays ten to one

1072
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 6: if it hits. You got to pick four different players

1073
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 6: and you pick numbers. I'm gonna give this one out

00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 6: to you. You put down ten dollars on this, you

00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 6: get back one hundred. You put down one hundred dollars,

00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 6: Josh Allen, I just talked about how awful the weather's

1081
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 6: gonna be in Buffalo. Under two hundred and twelve and

1082
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 6: a half passing yards. I don't think they're gonna throw

1083
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 6: the ball much with a foot of snow coming down

1084
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill minus thirty win chill hasn't been great health

1085
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 6: under eighty six and a half receiving yards. On the

1086
