It actually is the 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: case that if Republicans had just voted consistently for the 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 1: Republican ticket on the same level that Democrats were willing 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: to vote consistently for the Democrat ticket, we would have 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: won everything. And I want to hit you with this. 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: These data points house races versus Senate races. Pennsylvania house 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: members one by two points statewide, lost the Senate race 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: by five to the Democrat side. Arizona house races one 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: by two points, lost senate races by five. In Georgia 30 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: won the house race by five, lost the Senate race 31 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: by one. Nevada one house races by three, lost the 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: Senate race by less than one. What in the world happen? 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: I just it's it's easy to point to independence in Democrats. 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: I think if you are a Republican or you can 35 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: even say everything is rigged and there's no way we're 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: ever gonna win, because we certainly hear a lot from 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: that crew. But the truth of the matter is Republicans 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: won fifty one forty eight the national popular vote. If 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: Republicans had had this same level of support, would have 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: won two hundred and ninety seven electoral votes. To kind 41 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: of put that into context, would have won, Wisconsin, would 42 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: have won Pennsylvania, would have won Arizona, would have won Georgia, 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: and would have won the VATA basically win every toss 44 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: up state. It's Republicans not getting Republican votes locked down 45 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: that caused this not to be a red wave. And 46 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: I think that's much more interesting conversation than just being 47 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: able to blame external factors. And Buck, you asked a 48 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: good question, and I'll toss it out here for this 49 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: final hour of the show today. If you split your 50 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: ticket for some reason in these competitive states, why did 51 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: you do it? I've got a theory, Buck, I think 52 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: there are a lot of squishy Republicans, particularly who live 53 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: in the suburbs. Maybe a lot of them women who 54 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: enjoy and I think there's a lot of men too, 55 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: who enjoy pretending that they aren't Republicans. And if they 56 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: say that they voted for both a Republican and a Democrat, 57 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: they feel better about themselves in a way that Democrats 58 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: never do. There's no Democrat out there who feels better. 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Think about this if they say, well, I voted the 60 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: whole Democrat ticket, except I voted for this one Republican. 61 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: I think Republicans are way more worried about seeming moderate 62 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: than Democrats are about seeing moderate, and I think what 63 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: happens seeming moderate. I think what happens is these turncoat 64 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: split vote people are bragging about it, and that's what 65 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: goes on. Do you buy into my theory there? I 66 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: think that's definitely a part of it. It is the 67 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: case that I mean, I used to joke that a 68 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: New York City libertarians were just conservatives who wanted to 69 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: have friends at cocktail parties, you know, because if you're like, oh, 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a conservative, I'm just you know, 71 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: I believe in limited government and low taxation and socially 72 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: liberal and I'm a libertarian legalize all the weed. I mean, 73 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: I came across that a lot, you know, college years, 74 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and then afterwards in New York City you would get 75 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: people who are like, Hi'm a Libertarians, Like, well, you 76 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: are because you say you are, but you actually agree 77 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: with the Republicans on like ninety percent of things. So 78 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: it's interesting you're anyway. And there is obviously some crossover 79 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: there between the GOP and a libertarian party in terms 80 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: of policy platform, or some crossover. I think Clay that 81 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: the Unfortunately, there was a micro targeting in the twenty 82 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: twenty two election of looking at people who were kinda 83 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: let's say, McCain Republicans, you know, in Arizona specifically, that's 84 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: a that's the thing, and speaking ill of John McCain 85 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: as a Republican in Arizona is still unwise. That is 86 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: not a good idea because there are a lot of 87 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: people that are very in that state and others might 88 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: you know, surprise people in other states, but it's it's true, 89 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: and the numbers, the data reflects this. They're still very 90 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: fond of John McCain in his service to their state 91 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: for many years. So I think that for people who 92 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: were in the more moderate wing of the Republican Party 93 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: in their own thinking, all the stuff about the insurrection, 94 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: all the stuff about the constant, oh my gosh, you know, 95 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: lud dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria had an 96 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: effect had an effect not on a lot of people. 97 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously those CNN and hearings were absurd to 98 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: most people who were looking at more important issues in 99 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: their day to day lives. But if you were one 100 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: of those moderate Republicans, is moderate democrat even really a thing? 101 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: You ever hear, you don't even really hear moderate Democrat 102 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot. Occasionally you'll hear a little bit with um, 103 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, West Virginia's mansion, who I think is about 104 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: to be an independent christin cinema, independent christin cinema. So 105 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: I do believe that there was a social pressure exerted, 106 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: because here's who really it was, college educated white voters 107 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: who were Republicans who did not vote for and you see, 108 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: let we keep saying ticket splitting. They didn't want to 109 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: vote for Mastriano, they didn't want to vote for carry Lake, 110 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: they didn't want to vote for herschel Walker. I mean, 111 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: you can see who they decided I won't do it. 112 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: I won't do it. And now we have to figure 113 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: out why is that? And I think that is a 114 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: question that Republicans need to answer. Now. Mastriano, you might say, 115 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: was just a really tough ticket for Pennsylvania. But when 116 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I look at Carry Lake in particular, I say, Mike, Goodness, 117 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: she's a stud. And you can argue out there in Arizona, 118 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand vote difference whatever at the final number ends 119 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: up being. But I think, Buck, I look at these states, 120 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: and I can look at Marcopa County. Women in Scottsdale, right, 121 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: A lot of women in Scottsdale making decisions. You look 122 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: at Atlanta and you get out to the Marietta, at 123 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: the suburbs, a lot of suburban women making choices there. 124 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: You look in suburban Philadelphia, suburban Pittsburgh where these races 125 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: are basically being one are with to your point, suburban 126 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: college educated voters who are persuadable. Why is it that 127 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: if you are a Democrat you run out and you 128 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: vote for John Fetterman, who clearly was not a good candidate. 129 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: Straight down the line, right, there were not very many 130 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: people who were splitting Democrat tickets to abandon John Fetterman. 131 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: There were a lot of people who were splitting tickets 132 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: and abandoning herschel Walker or not supporting Blake Masters and 133 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: Carrie Lake. Why is that? Because I think it's way 134 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: more challenging to have to be trying to decide your 135 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: own house. You know, It's like people sit around all 136 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: the time, buck and they're terrified of being murdered, And 137 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: most of the time you're gonna get murdered by somebody 138 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: you're really close with, and it's way more scary to 139 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: people that it's going to be some external factor that 140 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: they can't control. But the reality is, like every lifetime movie, 141 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: your threat is typically in your house. What I just 142 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: want people to think about, is this, The threat to 143 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: not winning election in twenty twenty four may not be Democrats, 144 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna say bad things about you. It 145 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: may not be independence. They may I decide to break 146 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: for you might be inside of your own house, and 147 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: that's a more dis I'm just saying that's a more 148 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: difficult conversation, right, that the reason why you're not succeeding 149 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: is not because of some external factor, it's because your 150 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: own house is a mess. Well, I think that's what 151 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Republicans have to think about. I just I think that 152 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: there's an obligation for people who really care and follow 153 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: these things closely and have the ability to try to 154 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: help direct the conversation nationally to say, we got to 155 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: figure out what we do to win in twenty twenty 156 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: four because just going with what we got right now 157 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: in terms of approach and messaging, it's not enough. It's 158 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: not enough. So what does that look like? I don't know. 159 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't pretend to have all the answers but I 160 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: do know when when we're dealing with a level of insufficiency. 161 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: You know, when was the last time you heard a Republican, 162 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: any Republican, talk about healthcare? When was the last time 163 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: you heard a Republican, any Republican talk about something specific 164 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: to grow the economy? I mean, how did not to 165 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: make this about Trump? I'm actually not thinking about because 166 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying this specifically, How did Trump get so much 167 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: support in twenty sixteen he talked about offshoring of jobs 168 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: a very real thing, the destruction of American manufacturing, a 169 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: very real thing. The men and women of America who 170 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: feel left behind by the globalization of the economy, which 171 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: just enriched oligarchs in Silicon Valley and some other places 172 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: of the coastal corridors, real stuff that mattered. Trade agreements 173 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: that hurt the American worker, that hurt American farmers. Remember, 174 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: people forget about this. Trump got billions of dollars for 175 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: American farmers when they were faced with issues coming out 176 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: of the China trade. China trade, I wouldn't say war, 177 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: but you know back and forth that we had. So 178 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: there just needs to be a focus on how we 179 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: fix these things. Because I think also there was way 180 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: too much in this past year. There was the look 181 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: at what a crappy job Democrats are doing. Okay, yeah, 182 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: but you gotta tell people how you're gonna fix it. Yeah, 183 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta tell people how you make it better. 184 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not enough to merely say. Because the other happens 185 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: is you're seeing this in some cities, by the way, Clay, 186 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats are starting to quietly start to do a 187 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: little more of the stuff that Republicans have said you 188 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: gotta do, like you need more cops, you need doing 189 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: forced to law now depends on the city, and they're 190 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: not doing it nearly as much as they should. But 191 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: they start to take that ground and act like this 192 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: was their idea. You're right and one thing that it's 193 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: not going to be. And I think this is important 194 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: for everybody out there listening. It's not gonna be by 195 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: arguing they're stealing all the elections, because if you look 196 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty two, we won, Republicans did fifty one 197 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: forty eight nationwide. That's the reality. And if you look 198 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: at the close races that we've lost, we've lost because 199 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: Republicans are splitting their ticket more than Democrats are, So 200 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: how do you get that our column to be as 201 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: committed as the d column is. That's how you win 202 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: in twenty four, And that, to me is the existential question, 203 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: the essence of what twenty four is going to be about. 204 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: Who makes that more likely? Who can do it? Take 205 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: Some of your calls will discuss it, but that is 206 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: what the results now are showing. Now that we know 207 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: they're all out there, I want to tell you it's 208 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: an awful story. Two Mississippi police officers, ages thirty four 209 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: and twenty three, were shot and killed yesterday while doing 210 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: a welfare check at a motel six. These two brave 211 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: heroes won't be coming home to their families for the holidays. 212 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Tunnel of the the Tower supports our men in Blue. They 213 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: got started after nine eleven when the founder lost his 214 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: firefighter brother Stephen in the towers. That day, two nine 215 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven people were killed, and people are 216 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: still losing their lives due to nine eleven related illnesses. 217 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: But there's a whole generation of younger Americans, our kids, 218 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: that know little to nothing about nine to eleven. Only 219 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: two states of past laws mandating this history be taught 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: in schools Tennessee in Arizona. That's why the Tunnel to 221 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: Towers nine eleven institutes essential. It gives educators access to 222 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: non fiction nine eleven resources for grades K to twelve, 223 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: which includes scripted social studies, lessons and activities. Plus the 224 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: institute provides the nonfiction Discovering Heroes series of books to 225 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: accompany the curriculum. They've also built a mobile exhibit, high 226 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: tech eighty three foot tractor trailer transforms into an eleven 227 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,479 Speaker 1: hundred square foot interactive museum with nine to eleven artifacts 228 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: to help them make sure that none of us ever forget. 229 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: We must educate future generations. Donate eleven dollars a month. 230 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers at t twot dot org. That's t 231 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: twot dot org. They're here to shed lights on the 232 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: truth every day. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Team. I 233 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: have a confession to make here on Clay in Buck. 234 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: So we all know I'm an engage man. It's lovely Carrie, 235 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm finding out in life. You know, you make, 236 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: you gotta make some some compromises. You know you can't 237 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: just do exactly what you want. So I can't just 238 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: find the latest show about vikings running around with their 239 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: axes and hacking at you know, evil villagers or whatever. 240 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: We got to find something that we can both watch 241 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: occasionally late at night. We finished all of our work 242 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: and our workouts and cooking dinner, and you know, you 243 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: know how it is. There's a long preamble to tell 244 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: you all that I did find myself at a position 245 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: where for the for the you know, health and growth 246 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: of our relationship. We watched a little of the Megan 247 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: Markel Terry. I knew. I told you this, Buck, I said, 248 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: as you lived as a single man for forty years 249 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: and you made fun of everybody out there who cared 250 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: about the royals and and all their drama. And that 251 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: show has only been out for like three days, and 252 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: already you're watching the Harry and Meghan special. Look, Clay, 253 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, did you watch? I was three. I was 254 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: deep behind enemy lines here. You know, she makes great 255 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: chocolate chip banana bread. I needed to you know, I 256 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: had to do what I had to do. Clay. It was, 257 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: there was no way around it. You know, she says, 258 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna watch it. We're gonna watch it. Um And 259 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: so anyway it is, is this show by the way. 260 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I literally watched. We watched like the 261 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: first many episodes. It's a like a multi multi episode documentary. 262 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: It is horrifically boring. But I was point this out 263 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: because one it's it's a huge phenomenon. There are tens 264 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: of millions of people that are watching this. If you 265 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: read the Daily Mail, which is one of my favorite 266 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: news websites, it is the number one thing the Daily 267 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: Mail is covering right now is all this, you know, 268 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Royal family drama. Just to be clear, I think the 269 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: Royal family, the British people should take themselves more seriously 270 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: in the Royal Family should be abolished. That's my position. 271 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: I still hold to that. But Clay Andrew Tate, who 272 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: is very well known for being booted off the internet, 273 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: he's a I don't know, he's just kind of a 274 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: self help and he's people have described him as um 275 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: he was c fighter initially, right. Yeah, It's like if 276 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson was a UFC fighter and cursed a lot more, 277 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: it might be a little bit like Andrew Tate. Here. 278 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: He is though, speaking about the Meghan Markle Prince Harry situation. 279 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: We bleeped out some of the stuff, but this was 280 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: This was the one only Andrew Tate on the situation. 281 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: Listen to this. I feel compelled to comment on this. 282 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: Megan and Harry don't commntion. Why is nobody pointing out 283 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: the obvious? As usual? Andrew Tate, the man who has 284 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: to get canceled for saying water is wet. I'm just 285 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: gonna The basic premise is that Megan and Harry are 286 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: innocent and the Royal family is guilty and bullying them 287 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: and picking on them, and that England as a whole 288 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: has bullied them and picked on them, the reason being 289 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: because they are racial. Why is nobody else say that 290 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Meghan Markle isn't black? She's whitter than me. Only she 291 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: whiter than me. She's whiter than the current Prime Minister 292 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: of the UK, She's whiter than the Mayor of London. 293 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: She's not even black. Why is nobody talking about this? 294 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: The fact she's pulling the race card is absolutely and 295 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: all the insulting to every dark skinned person who has 296 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: ever genuinely suffered from racism. Ever, could you talk about 297 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: this because when we come back, we should talk about this. 298 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this buck my twelve year old, because 299 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: I was asking you this off air loves Andrew Tate, 300 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: watches all of his YouTube videos, is obsessed with him, 301 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: has been saying to me and he never says this. 302 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: Can you guys please get Andrew Tate on your radio show? 303 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: He would be so good, And I asked you, would 304 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: you be nervous if your twelve year old was watching 305 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: all the clips. There's a lot of cursing, but there 306 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: are probably worse things. He could be watching a lot 307 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: of stuff, he says, I gotta I put myself in 308 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: the pro Tate category. I think a lot of the 309 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: stuff he says is very valid and very worth hearing. 310 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: So we'll have to put out the bat signal and 311 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: get Andrew Tate to come on and join us.

So, Buck, as we went to break, we 353 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: were playing this Andrew Tate discussion about Meghan Markle. You 354 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: were talking about this Netflix series that everybody is watching. 355 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: It's certainly very popular and this is the truth. What 356 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: percentage of people gone to that part yet? But that's 357 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 1: the big bombshell allegation. Yes, So what percentage of people 358 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: in England, if they hadn't been told Meghan Markle is 359 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 1: part black, would have ever known Meghan Markle was black? 360 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: And what kind of racism is she dealing with When 361 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: most of us think of racism. I'm not an expert, thankfully, 362 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: but when most of us think of racism, we think 363 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: of it as most basic level. As you look like X, 364 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: so I am going to treat you like why? And 365 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: it is a discriminatory behavior. But for Megan Markle, you 366 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: have no idea what her racial background might be. I 367 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: don't think just by looking at her, I would imagine 368 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: that's true for most people in Britain as well. And 369 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: so I think it is an interesting question because she 370 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: is arguing that she's being treated unfairly because of her 371 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: race in England, and I don't know that I buy 372 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: into that argument at all. I just I want to 373 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: know in what way is that actually occurring. I mean, 374 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, I would want some idea as to why 375 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: they think that that is the situation, other than look 376 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: claiming this victimhood status so are very popular for people 377 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: to do as a general matter in the United States. 378 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm a victim, I'm a victim It's very popular to 379 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: do in the UK as well, and celebrities, as we know, 380 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: love to cling to it. I mean people like Elizabeth 381 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: Warren right pretended to be Native American, Yes, because it 382 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: was of particular benefit to her academically. And I just 383 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: think it's interesting that we're we're supposed to believe that 384 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: that there that that a person is experiencing acute rate 385 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: and calling people racists, right, This is not a calling 386 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: somebody racist is meant to destroy their reputation, to cast 387 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: them out from society, to do them serious psychological and 388 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: reputational harm. That's what calling someone a racist, whether it's 389 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: the Royal family or your neighbor down the street, that's 390 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: what it does. And to make that claim when you're 391 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: somebody who I don't, I mean, I would not, I 392 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: do not. Does anyone look at Megan Markle and immediately 393 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: think that they would know if she weren't constantly announcing 394 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: and making claims about her heritage, what race she is. 395 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: I think the answer would have to be no. Yeah. 396 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's an interesting point, tu Buck and 397 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: what I will bring home because I am embarrassingly pretty 398 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: well plugged in on the Royal family for decades. This 399 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: is embarrassing. But if you go back in time to 400 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: when Prince William was dating Kate before they were married, 401 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: she was ridiculed in the press because her mom, I believe, 402 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: was a stewardess on an airline and she was not. 403 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: And I think I'm correct on this. She was not 404 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: of royal lineage, right, She didn't have some extreme title, 405 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: she didn't have some you know, she wasn't a duchess. 406 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: She wasn't. So the reason why I'm bringing this up 407 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: is there is a I think certainly cast based, class 408 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: based prejudice that exists inside of the royal family in 409 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: favor of royal titles, though, is what I'm saying. So, 410 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: how much of Megan Markle's treatment is not based on 411 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: her race, but it's based on the fact that she's 412 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: just a middle class American actress, right, Like So, in 413 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: other words, if you if Megan Markle was just a 414 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: blonde hair, blue eyed star and on stars being exaggerated, 415 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: she wasn't that high level of an actress, right, We're 416 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: not talking about someone at the peak of Hollywood. And 417 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: she was on a US USA show that I have 418 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: never seen that I never watched, Right, So, but if 419 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: you put her and you took away like, Okay, she 420 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: is of mixed race, heritage whatever, and you made that 421 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: the least race conscious like a blonde hair, blue eyed 422 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: exact same Megan Markle and Harry marries her and she 423 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: is a mid tier at best American actress from a 424 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: middle class at best background. I think she'd probably get 425 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: a lot of ridicule because I'm old enough to remember 426 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: when I was studying overseas in England and when they 427 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: were dating Prince William h and Kate. She got roasted 428 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: in the tabloids all the time because she wasn't of 429 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: an elite enough class in some people's mind to have 430 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: been dating William. And if that's the case for her, 431 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: who is British and who has a family, I think 432 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: that was successful. Then I would think that Meghan Markle, 433 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: even if she were just a non no racial background 434 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: other than a blonde hair, blue eyed white girl, I 435 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: would think she would have gotten lit up. And they 436 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: lit up everybody. It seemed like that Harry dated in general, 437 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: including Harry himself. Who remember buck Harry went to a 438 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: Halloween party dressed as a Nazi soldier. Do you remember that? 439 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 1: I do remember that. So some of the things that 440 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: Harry got criticized for while they now are like, hey, 441 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: this is really unfair criticism. If you're the second heir 442 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: to the throne in England and you go to a 443 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Halloween party dressed as a Nazi soldier, I can see 444 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: why the tabloids in England might have had a little 445 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: bit of an issue with you. And certainly it pears 446 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: he had a party an alcohol background. I'm not judging 447 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: that lots of people do, but it's very easy to 448 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: claim victimhood if you take a step back and look 449 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: at their treatment. How much of it is just based 450 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: on being famous and sometimes, certainly in the case of Harry, 451 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: having done some dumb things when you were young. Yeah. Also, 452 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: it seems to me to be a strange thing to 453 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: marry into a royal family that lives a life of 454 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: unearned luxury and financial I mean, you know, to say 455 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: that they are in a particularly privileged situation as an understatement. 456 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: Things are so rough and you're you're so marginalized and 457 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: things are so difficult that you get to become a 458 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: princess and then complain about it all the time and 459 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: then get to be worth tens of millions of dollars 460 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: for whining about how hard everybody was on you when 461 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: you became a princess. I mean, look, I know I'm 462 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: not into all this. I was forced to watch. I 463 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: was forced to watch getting into it. It's the psychology 464 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: of this bucket. I'll just point this out. She did 465 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: a sit down exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, claiming that 466 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 1: she was disgusted by her behavior from the royal family 467 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: and that all she and Harry wanted was privacy. I 468 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: believe they now have a six part Netflix series that 469 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: seems like the opposite of requesting privacy. I'm just going 470 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: to toss it out there. If I were like, hey, 471 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm tired of working. I've got to 472 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: have a way more privacy my family. And this is 473 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: obviously I'm not saying this, but if I did all 474 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: that and then buck a year later there was like 475 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: a ten part Netflix documentary that came out about me, 476 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: you'd be like, I don't know that I'm by Clay 477 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: wanting privacy. I think, I mean, I would just I 478 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: think that the Royal family is preposterous and should have 479 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: been abolished a long time ago, and it's hard to 480 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: take the British people seriously as long as they still 481 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: at least the ones that think that this is important 482 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: and should endure. That's my opinion as an American, which 483 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm allowed to say because I'm pretty sure we want 484 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: a war, so we can say these things a long 485 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: time ago. But beyond that, I mean, Meghan and Harry 486 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: are horrible. That's really the real takeaway is they're just 487 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: narcissistic and generally worthless of the public conversation. Not only Buck, 488 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: did we win a war against them, we actually save 489 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: their entire country. So I think we can comment. By 490 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: the way, our producer Ali, this is good. She says 491 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: they treated Princess Die the same way because Die was 492 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: more of a commoner. And she says, what a Mega experienced. 493 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: And I think this is a good diagnosis by Ali. 494 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: Is actually eliteism, not racism. Well said, That's what I 495 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: was trying to get out. She summed it up. All right, 496 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: we come back. Final segment.

You haven't had a chance yet to look 531 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: at the Pale Blue Eye trailer. You sit the trailer 532 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: Edgar Allan Poe is played by somebody in it as well. 533 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: I gotta say it looks pretty good. There's kind of 534 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: a satanic cult, you know, vibe from the trailer of 535 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: the who's doing the murders? I don't know, it looks 536 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: it looks looks like it might be actually a pretty 537 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: pretty I'm desperate for good content these days. Obviously, I 538 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: got suckered into watching the Harry and Meghan thing. Oh yeah, no, 539 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: doubt I'm a nerd for all of that. Um, you know, 540 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: military history in general around the Civil War era, and 541 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: so obviously northern and Southern generals for the most part, 542 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: many of them went to West Point, and so that 543 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: era of West Point, you know, the eighteen forties, the 544 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: eighteen fifties leading up to the Civil War, from eighteen 545 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: sixty one to eighteen sixty five, has always been an 546 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: era that I find to be incredibly intriguing. And so 547 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: I bet I'll watch this new movie A two. We 548 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: have Ben in Joplin, Missouri talking about TikTok. What's going on? Ben? Hey, guys, 549 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Thank you. So from my perspective, 550 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: I've been on TikTok for just over a year myself, 551 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: and I've managed to accumulate about one hundred and fifty 552 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: thousand followers, and it has been the best thing for 553 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: my small business here that I've ever done. And so 554 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: I really don't want to see it get banned. I 555 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: can understand maybe banning it from federal employee phones, because 556 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: we definitely don't want any outside actors getting state secrets 557 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But you know, if anything, the Twitter files 558 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: has shown us we've got a lot more, in my opinion, anyway, 559 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: we've got a lot more to worry about from our 560 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: own government. And like you said, Google spying on us 561 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: and listening to us. I don't care if j Thing 562 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: knows what's in my Amazon shopping cart. You know what 563 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I've got nothing to hide from them. Well, 564 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: this is this is what I keep saying. People say, oh, 565 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: the habits and the thing I have TikTok, I don't. 566 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't post at TikTok. I did it a couple 567 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: of times during the pandemic when I when I learned 568 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: what I didn't even know what it was till the pandemic. 569 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: Um that's when I learned about it. But my TikTok 570 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: is like, uh, like healthy living, cooking steak and you know, 571 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: cute puppies and like people that are doing you know, 572 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: crocodile wrangling. Okay, who cares? Like, well, what exactly if 573 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: Jiji and pain can use that to conquer America? I 574 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: got news for everybody with anyway, That's what I don't 575 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: you know. So I know right now it's very you know, 576 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: it's very in vogue for all these Republicans to say this, 577 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: but a lot of the Republicans are making a lot 578 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: of noise about this in the Senate. I want to 579 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: be like, what are you doing to reigning Google exactly? 580 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: Just just let me know that before you tell me 581 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: that we're gonna ban TikTok no. I think it's I 582 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: think it's a fantastic question. Paul at in Louisville has 583 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: got an opinion on why Republican voters are more likely 584 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: to split their tickets, or at least have been in 585 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: the most recent presidential and midterm What do you got 586 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: for us, Hi, Yes, I'll make a shortened suite. I 587 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: think Republicans have such a high standard of whom they 588 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: vote for because most of us are hardworking, hardworking people, entrepreneurs. 589 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: So when it comes to candidates, if we don't think 590 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: they are worthy of our vote, we don't vote for them. 591 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: So we might vote for other Republicans, but if we 592 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: don't like the candidate that's running in another category, we 593 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: just simply don't vote for them. It's a good question, Buck, 594 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: I've wondered if so. We know in Georgia, for instance, 595 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: thank you for the call, By the way, paul Ette, 596 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: we know in Georgia that seven out of eight Republicans one. 597 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: If Republicans had one run a totally generic senate candidate, right, 598 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: whoever you can think of that would be a generic, 599 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: inoffensive senate candidate, and that person had not had the 600 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: background that they went after with herschel Walker, would he 601 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: or she have won? In other words, if Kelly Loffler, 602 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: let's say, had been on the ballot this year in Georgia, 603 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: would she have beaten the Reverend Raphael Warnock because of 604 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: the amount? I think that's a rematch, right, so that 605 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: might be a little bit of a different Yeah, so 606 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go with her, but just someone else. But 607 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean her to be generic and that you could 608 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: attack Kelly Loffler. It wasn't for like some personal failing. 609 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 1: She was a fairly normal Republican. Find someone else. Would 610 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: that have made a difference? I think that's the question 611 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: that I would like to have been able to pull. 612 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: I also think that the caller brings up Republicans. Can 613 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: we can be a little a little bit of you know, 614 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: sticklers for perfection, a little bit of purity chasing here 615 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the time, and we even see it 616 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: amongst ourselves. Uh, you know, meeting, meeting within the party. 617 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: I think on a range of issues. Um, you know, 618 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: for example, if you you can say I voted for 619 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: Trump twice. I think Trump is a great guy who's 620 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: an amazing things for the country. I don't like this 621 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 1: thing that Trump just said, and people are like, why 622 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: are you why are you a turncoat? Yeah, that's true, 623 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: that's crazy. That's just crazy. I don't know what else 624 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: to say. That's like, that's not that's not living in reality. 625 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: And so it's important that we understand the Democrats. They 626 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: want to keep there. They want to keep their mob, 627 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: their team as big as possible and utilize it as 628 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: much as possible. On our side, we get people who, look, 629 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: you saw this, you saw this in Arizona's like, no, 630 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: I don't like Blake Masters enough because of X Y 631 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: or Z. Among Republicans, Yeah, because he wasn't perfect enough. 632 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: So they let a Democrat win same day with Kerry Lake. 633 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, and again, the data reflects that if every 634 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: Republican had voted for the Republican ticket, everybody wins. Close Racist, 635 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: close the show out here Randy and Salem, Oregon, Randy, 636 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: what you got for us? Clay, I wanted to ask you, 637 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: why do we have a Jimmy Kimmel La Bowl and 638 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: we don't have a Great Dutfeull Bowl or an Adam 639 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: Rolla BOWLA that would be fun. Who would you like 640 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: to see a bowl name game named after? I mean, 641 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: the answer is pretty simple because Disney Slash ESPN owns 642 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: all of the bowl games, and so they decided to 643 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 1: name one after Jimmy Kimmel for promotional purposes for his show. 644 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: You know it would be wouldn't be amazing if one 645 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: of the big networks launched a late night comedy show 646 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: where they actually we're just doing comedy. Wouldn't that be 647 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: a phenomenal I mean, look, Greg has done a great 648 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: job at Fox. That's a little bit of a center 649 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: right approach to things, right. Yeah, I'm just saying if 650 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: you just put a straight up comedian who had no 651 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: political innations whatsoever, I think there'd be a market for that. 652 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: But maybe i'm because it's not Jimmy Kimmel. That guy's 653 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: the worst. No, I think there is a huge market 654 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: for just making people laugh, irrespective of their political leanings. 655 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: We love entertaining you, hopefully also educating you. Thanks for 656 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: hanging out with us. Still a lot more shows have 657 00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: come before the end of the year. We'll see you then.
