1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, Final Hour, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition, one week until Christmas. I've been playing the 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: Grinch with you by just basically telling you the truth, 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: which most politicians don't. It's hard to solve the national 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: debt without addressing Social Security and Medicare. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Ryan, you're a math guy. 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Gerdusky joins us now, and he is rolling in. 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: We were just having that discussion, whether you're a Democrat 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: or you're a Republican. We kind of have an era 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: of magical thinking when it comes to the budget, where 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: nobody will actually tell you how the money is truly 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: being spent and what has to occur for us not 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: to be spending more. And we have these fights over 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: continuing your resolutions. But you're pretty good guy with math. 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean it basically comes down to it's hard to 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: cut spending without addressing what we spend on Social Security 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: and medicare. 18 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: Right, and the Pentagon, the Pentagon is. 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: The Pentagons the other. I mean. 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 3: The thing is, the Pentagon has not passed an audit 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: in I think six years. And the craziest thing is 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 3: is in two thousand we were set to pay off 23 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: the entire national debt by twenty twelve's so the Bush 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: administration really really really threw us for a wrench, and 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 3: I don't I mean, ultimately, in a perfect world, what 26 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 3: would happen is everyone would grab their hands, cut spending, 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: raised taxes, and jump off the cliff together. That's not 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: going to happen, though, so they're going to I mean, 29 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: we're all just rearranging deck chairs in the Titanic until 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: we have a serious, serious conversation about what our what 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: our budget footprint looks like. 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,279 Speaker 2: Ryan. 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: There's also the fake urgency situation of this, right, they 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: leave it until before the Christmas break because they know 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 4: that people are starting to tune out. And whatever they do, 36 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: whatever swampy conduct is in this fifteen hundred and forty 37 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: seven page bill, whatever crazy spending, we're all gonna forget. 38 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 4: You know, New Year's will be a little hungover, a 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 4: lot of champagne, et cetera. It just feels like they're 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: not even trying to be straight with the American people 41 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 4: on where the money's going and how much money's going. 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: Right. And I mean, there are easy things just sit 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: there and cut. That's the craziest thing is there are 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: things that no American would really be impacted by, like 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: if we cut ninety nine percent of USAID, which is 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: where you hear those crazy programs like we give money 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: overseas for like feminism studies in Saudi Arabia. Those are 48 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: the things that like enrage most Americans that all the 49 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: USA we can pretty much cut and slice that department. 50 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: There are ways to slash spending that are affected. Will 51 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: you balance the budget off those things? Absolutely not? And 52 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: I think that that's where you're kind of the rubbers 53 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: meeting the road as far as are we even getting 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: those things, like why are we getting rid of the 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: low hanging fruit? And we're seemingly just increasing spending rather 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 3: than finding any which ways to cut it. 57 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: Well, it is true that small winds often lead to 58 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 4: bigger wins, and so I agree that cutting those obviously 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 4: unnecessary and wasteful things, it's like cutting the dorridos out 60 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: of your diet before you start counting macros. You know, 61 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: it's making the small change before you make bigger changes, 62 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: something that I've been dealing with these days. By the way, 63 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: counting your macros not a lot of fun. Anyway, Ryan, 64 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 4: I wanted you to tell us what's going on in Canada. 65 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: First off, Peer Polyev catching fire on the internet right 66 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: now for being a straight talking, common sense hopefully future 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: Prime minister of Canada. They got huge problems over there 68 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: because Trudeau Trudeau has ruined that country in so many 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: But here's what Pierre Palyev says. His mission is, this 70 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: is cut one play it. 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: She cut everything out of her budget, every creature, comfort, 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 5: everything she enjoyed about her life. She cut it out 73 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: so that she could drop one of those part time jobs. 74 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 5: And then one morning she woke up and she walked 75 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: outside and her car was gone. And she called her 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 5: insurance and they said they weren't going to cover the 77 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 5: replacement value. So she had to take that job back 78 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 5: because she simply cannot live her life without a car. 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 5: And you can bet your bottom dollar the guy who 80 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 5: stole the car, he was probably out on bail. This 81 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 5: was not his first job. Her taxes have gone up, 82 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: her heating bill has gone up, her wages have not 83 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 5: gone up. She's scared to go out in the streets 84 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 5: in places where they didn't even lock the door not 85 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 5: long ago. 86 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: These are the people we're fighting for. 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 5: These silly games over here, they're very entertaining the soap 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: opera that everyone seized with today. That's all fine, but 89 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 5: there are real peop both whose lives are on the 90 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 5: line here. 91 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: And we have a duty to work for them. 92 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: It's resonating Ryan down south here or south of the 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: Canadian border. 94 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: What's going on? 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there is an election going to happen 96 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: sometime in twenty twenty five in Canada. Canada, like the 97 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: United Kingdom, they don't have a fixed election date. They 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: say sometime this year the Prime minister gets to call 99 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: an election. In their elections I think are a few 100 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: weeks long. It's not like a two year long race 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: in the United States. Right now, according to the Apicus 102 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: Data poll, which is a pretty good online polling company 103 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: back up in Canada, the Liberal Party, which is Trudeau's party, 104 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: is polling around between twenty one and twenty two percent 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 3: and the Conservative Party is between forty four and forty 106 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: five percent. Now, they have a first past the post 107 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: system in Canada, which is like we have the United States, 108 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 3: whoever gets the largest in a single member district wins 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: irregardless of the percentage that the vote goes over all. 110 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: So you'll see like the Libertarian Party gets like three 111 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: percent nationally, but they don't get any seats because you 112 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: have to win one specific seat. That's the way it 113 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: works in Canada too. It's not proportional right now. As 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: of right now, with the Apicus and Apicus polling, Trudeau's 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: Liberal Party is set to lose between eighty five to 116 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: ninety five percent of all their seats. That is how 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 3: bad Trudeau is polling. So the push to make Trudeau 118 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: resign is the push to save the Liberal Party of Canada. 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: It is not without historical president in Canada that when 120 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: a party, a major political party, loses enough seats, the 121 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: party just dissolves. There was a party one time called 122 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: the Conservative Progressive Party of Canada. This was the center 123 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: right party and one year, in one election cycle, they 124 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: lost one hundred and fifty four of one hundred and 125 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: fifty six seats and they just went away. They said 126 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: there's no point. They've ran two more cycles, they still 127 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: couldn't win any major seats and they just became the 128 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: Conservative Party. They merged with Stephen Harper's Conservative Party and 129 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: that party no longer exists. The Liberal Party is very, 130 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: very worried that they may not exist. They could be 131 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: the fourth largest Party, And in Canada, if you receive 132 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: less than twelve seats in the House of Commons, you 133 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: don't get federal money, you're not considered a major party, 134 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: you lose tons of stature, and it becomes almost impossible, 135 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: if not very very difficult, to ever regain that. So 136 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: the push to ALUs Trudeau is a push to save 137 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: the Liberal Party in any capacity, which who knows if 138 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: that's going to happen by the end of next year. 139 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: Ryan, what's the impact if Pierre paulyev or someone like 140 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: him becomes the leader of Canada in a somewhat similar 141 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: fashion while Trump is the leader here, How would that 142 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: change things in North America in your mind? 143 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: What impact would it have on America if any. 144 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: Well, obviously we have a lot of trade with Canada. 145 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: That's a major major party. But also the number of 146 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants coming from north of the border to Vermont 147 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: through Upstate New York through Maine is substantial. It's not 148 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: as small as it used to be because under Justin Trudeau, 149 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: the population of Canada through immigration has increased by fourteen 150 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: percent in the last five years. That would be like 151 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 3: America taking in fifteen million people in the last five years. 152 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: And Biden took a lot in, but he didn't take 153 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 3: fifteen million in. And while the population has exploded, which 154 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: has which has caused a massive housing crisis, it's caused 155 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 3: scarcity of resources, scarcity of hospital beds, scarcity of classrooms. 156 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: There's also the issue of the fact that the GDP 157 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: hasn't grown since since Trudeau took over. The GDP has 158 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: grown in Canada by about one point six percent versus 159 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: about nineteen percent in America. So Canada is definitely on reeling. 160 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: I mean they're reeling from justin Trudeau's socials policies, and 161 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: we are reeling from the fact that we are having 162 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: an excess number of illegal immigrants who are getting student 163 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: visas in Canada, who are getting work visas in Canada, 164 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: and they coming across the border as simply as quickly 165 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: as possible. It creates a national security threat. In some 166 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 3: places like China, the number of Chinese nationals who moved 167 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: to Canada is substantially higher, and it's an issue whether 168 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 3: it comes to our own border security period. And that 169 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: is I think the main point is number one, immigration 170 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: and the second thing is trade. Going for now, Canada 171 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: still has higher prices on certain American goods. They don't 172 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: ban outright America certain American goods, but they have preferential 173 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: treatment towards Canadian goods. All those things become a very 174 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: very big issue when you're talking about renegotiating possibly NAFTA 175 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: and also working about how to stop drugs from coming 176 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: across the border. So Pierre maybe, I mean, he's not 177 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 3: a vastly right wing person. He's far more conservad than 178 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: Trudeau is. But he will have the largest majority of 179 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: any conservative government in the entire Western hemisphere, far larger 180 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: than Norah Johnson had in twenty nineteen, larger than Trump 181 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 3: ever had, larger than Reagan ever had. So it will 182 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: be the ultimate real test in a Western democratic government. 183 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: Can you do a massive reform? I mean, he could 184 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 3: be he could make Canada the blueprint like El Salvador, 185 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: or he could you know, be one more failed Western leader. 186 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: Who knows, but he has he will have the largest 187 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: majority of any Western Democratic leader, conservative democratic leader in 188 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: the entire Western hemisphere. 189 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: It has been remarkable to see the way that Pierre 190 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: paulief just by we're speaking to Ryan Gardusky, but Ryan 191 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 4: just by saying things that seem obvious that is a 192 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 4: defiant thing to do. 193 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: In Canadian politics. 194 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: It seems right to say things like how is it 195 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 4: that housing prices? I think I think I heard him 196 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 4: say that Trudeau spent sixty billion dollars to make housing 197 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: more affordable, and housing prices went up astronomically after spending 198 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: sixty billion dollars to make it more affordable. Like this 199 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 4: stuff is, I don't know how any Libs in Canada 200 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: voted for Trudeau do not feel like total morons. 201 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: Well, that Trudeau is losing forty percent of his base 202 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: that voted for him just in twenty nineteen. That would 203 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: literally be like the Democratic Party post election being left 204 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: to San Francisco, Chicago, the Upper West Side and a 205 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: few other hotspots. And that's it. I mean, it would 206 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: be like it would be like the Democratic Party having 207 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: like twenty five or forty seats in the House Representatives. 208 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: That's how badly Trudeau is doing. And the problem is 209 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: is that liberals, and this is true in America, it's 210 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: true in the UK, it's true in Canada. Economists and 211 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: liberals have said in order to grow your economy, you 212 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: need mass immigration. There's no way around it. Well, the 213 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: UK and Canada I have had unprecedented mass immigration for 214 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,479 Speaker 3: the last four or five years, and both their economies 215 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: have sunk because of it, and there have been housing 216 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: crisis because of it, and people have approached the idea 217 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: of housing as a supply issue, when in fact it 218 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 3: is a demand issue. When you have unlimited mass immigration, 219 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: you'll never build enough houses, especially considering eighty percent of 220 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: the Canadian population lives within a stone throw of Michigan, 221 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 3: New York. 222 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: Or Washington. 223 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: They all live very very close to the United States 224 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: border because it's too cold in the Yukon territory. So 225 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 3: this is a major, major, major issue for Canada obviously 226 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: if he's there, if the Canadian if Pierre becomes a 227 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: conservative leader in Canada and the United States as a 228 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: conservative president, there'll be a lot easier cooperation. In Mexico, 229 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: being the last of the three major countries in North America, 230 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: having a very far left president a leader which is 231 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: their leaders very socialistic, will at least have a two 232 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 3: people on one side, hopefully on most major trade issues, 233 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 3: but also on the issue of American influence. Our sphere 234 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: of influence has declined substantially since the turn of the millennium, 235 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 3: as China has grown as other countries go, but primarily China. 236 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: So this is a major, major concerned. 237 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: You want people who. 238 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: Have the same worldview as you, and you also want 239 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: a situation where you have someone who cares about their 240 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: border and their mass immigration when it is our only 241 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 3: neighbor to the north. 242 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Gerdusky, good stuff, as always.

And I think it's about time 310 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 6: something said. 311 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 5: Here's a piece of port kidding giving yourself. 312 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 6: How would I not know about eies? 313 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: But I mean, I mean, people look at the performance 314 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: of Congress, say why should we give them more money? 315 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 6: What about the media?

And most 328 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: of where it comes from is not ever talked about 329 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: for fear of upsetting people.

Appreciate all 356 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. A lot of people. Uh, well, 357 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: we got some talk Shall we play some talkbacks here? 358 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: Buck? 359 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: Let people react to some of the comments that we 360 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: have had so far. This is from Tampa. Unidentified Tampa listener. 361 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: By the way, when you reach out through and you 362 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: leave a message for us, you might want to use 363 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: your name and so we don't have to say unidentified 364 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: as if you're a UFO. But this is a Tampa 365 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: listeners A has a take. 366 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: Listen. 367 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 8: The elephant in the room is term limits. You have 368 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 8: these politicians that have been there for years. They promise 369 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 8: everything they put jump into the budget just to make 370 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 8: their constituents happy. We really need term limits that would 371 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 8: help cut the budget. 372 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't disagree in general with the idea of term limits. 373 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: And we've said on this show for some time, Buck, 374 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you should spend like Joe Biden did 375 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: fifty years in government. Government should be something you do, 376 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: not something that is your job for your entire life. 377 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: The problem with term limits in general is we all 378 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: can go vote for whoever we want in Congress every 379 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: two years or in the Senate every you know, six 380 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: year terms, but every four years pretty much there's a 381 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: Senate race in your favorite your home state. 382 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: They serve terms. So the whole point is the accountability 383 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 4: comes for re election. And some of these Republicans, I 384 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 4: think is where people get so frustrated. In particular, they 385 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 4: just play the same game. You know, I don't know. 386 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 4: Maybe there's a deep state republic I mean a deep 387 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 4: red Republican senator, a deep state Republicans, and a deep 388 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 4: deep red Republican senator who you know, goes along with 389 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 4: the DC consensus a lot, but he shows up on 390 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 4: Fox News once in a while and says a few 391 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: good things and everyone forgets and they keep elected him, 392 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: electing him, And there's a whole bunch of these where, 393 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 4: you know, I just want to say, like, why why 394 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 4: is there a cent Why is Senator Cornyn able to 395 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 4: represent the great state of Texas. Why is James Langford representing? 396 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: What is the Oklahoma right He's the guy who went 397 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 4: along with the idiotic border bill in the election year, 398 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 4: which is all just to give cover to Democrats. Well, 399 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 4: people in Oklahoma are going to vote for James Langford again, 400 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 4: probably or a least they voted for him in the 401 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: first place. You know, we got to take accountability, man. 402 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: The end of accountability is the end of doing any 403 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 4: good things in government because no one's ever responsible for anything. 404 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: So that's how I feel about it. 405 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: Let me also hit this, since we're playing grinch here, 406 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: let me also hit this so security concept in general, 407 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: because I think a lot of times people don't really 408 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: examine things because they just have always been there. So 409 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: security is an awful, I think construct that eventually has 410 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: to explode. And the reason why that is just follow 411 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: me along here, and by the way, you can reach 412 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: out and explain if I'm not understanding something basic. But 413 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to explain people in a couple of 414 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: minutes what goes on here. They take meaning government does 415 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: a set portion of your paycheck from the moment you 416 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: start getting a job, and they say, we'll give this 417 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: back to you when you get old. When they take 418 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: your money, they don't allow that money to grow at 419 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: its natural rate. If you just bought, say, S and 420 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: P five hundred index funds and reinvested it, you would 421 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: make over time eight or nine percent over the course 422 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: of that time. And by the way, the reason why 423 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: compound interest works and why you should invest, I'm giving 424 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: you a little bit of a tip is. 425 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: What I do. 426 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: Every ten years. Your money should double if you invest 427 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: it decently. If you just buy index funds and don't 428 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: touch it just every ten years, it should double. 429 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: Okay. 430 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: They give you instead of what you would actually earn 431 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: on your money, they give you a rate of return, 432 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: which is basically inflation, and typically inflation is two or 433 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: three percent if you have a decent person in charge 434 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: of the economy, not Joe Biden, right, and then you 435 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: only get it if you and or your spouse are 436 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: alive when you get to that age. That's an awful 437 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: freaking deal, and most people just accept it because it's 438 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: always existed for all of our lives, and now it's 439 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: going to implode because it was always predicated on the 440 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: idea that there are more young people than there are 441 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: old people. But if you look at the distribution of 442 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: ages in this country, we are soon going to have 443 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: an aging and graining population. And this is not unique 444 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: to the United States. This is happening all over the 445 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: world by and large, except for Africa. And so the 446 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: math doesn't add up because there aren't enough young people 447 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: to pay for old people's retirement. But the deal itself 448 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: is a bad one for everyone. And if you're out 449 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: there and you actually labor that as you work with 450 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: your hands, you are physically doing a hard, physical job 451 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: as opposed to like what you and I do, Buck, 452 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: or you just sitn't talking to a mic. But if 453 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: you're out there listening to us right now, and at 454 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: the end of the day you're tired physically because of 455 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: your labor, you actually get the worst deal of all 456 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: because your average age, your average length of life is lower. 457 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: So poor people don't live as long as rich people. 458 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: So you're taking the money from poor people and you're 459 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: using it to pay for rich people's retirement. 460 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: I nobody talks about it. 461 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: The ombudsman here at Clay, but we are vocal court athletes, sir. 462 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: So you know, let's give us funny. 463 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: You know. 464 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes this is where having kids is so interesting, because 465 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: kids come to the world with open eyes and they think, like, 466 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: is this the right thing to do? Young people in general, 467 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: the older you get, the less you question. By and large, 468 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: whatever system you find yourself in this is this is 469 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: about psychology, not about math. 470 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 2: That's the problem. 471 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 4: And the psychology is people want to know that when 472 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: they're old, the government will be there for them. That's 473 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 4: what this really comes down to. It's the same way 474 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: that no matter how many times we go over minimum 475 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: minimum wage and it doesn't work the way that it's intended. 476 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: People like minimum. 477 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: Wage because they like the idea of people being paid 478 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 4: a decent wage for their labor, and they don't trust 479 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 4: the market and they worry about exploitation. 480 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: So it's emotional. 481 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: So I can tell people that, you know, by setting 482 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: the minimum wage, if you set it too high, here's 483 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 4: what happens. People lose jobs. Automation. Yeah, we can go 484 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 4: through some million times people like it. And the thing 485 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 4: and this is why a little bit of this is 486 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 4: kind of you know, sticking our hand into the blender 487 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 4: on this issue a little bit. 488 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 2: Thanks Clay. 489 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 4: Right before Christmas, He's like, let's let's antagonize some of 490 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 4: the pro soles. 491 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: Well, this CR is going on and people get fired 492 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: up every year and they're like, we got to do 493 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: something about this, and then the CR gets passed and not. 494 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: The truth is you know, I actually saw this, this 495 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 4: clip of Believe It or Not Ben Affleck. I saw 496 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 4: him discussing. I know this is gonna sound like a diversion, 497 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: but like Trump, I'm weaving. 498 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: I'm weaving. It's gonna make sense. 499 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 4: The Ben Affleck very astude on AI and what we'll 500 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 4: do for the entertainment industry. I don't know if you've 501 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: seen that clip as well, but he's he can dial 502 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 4: into things. He does understand. He does not understand the 503 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: Middle Easter or politics, but he understands AI in the 504 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 4: context of movies. And he also understands suffering in the 505 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 4: context of somebody who struggled with alcohol. And I saw 506 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 4: this clip of him where he just said, you know, 507 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 4: there's all this stuff and he said, I give respect 508 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 4: to twelve step programs, I give respect to AA. 509 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 2: It's very helpful for people. 510 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 4: He's like, really, the fundamental truth is you will change 511 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 4: when you have just suffered enough, when you've decided I'm 512 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 4: and for for him, the point was my alcohol abuse 513 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 4: is hurting my relationship with my kids, and that cannot continue. 514 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 4: I have suffered enough. I will change with some of 515 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 4: these issues of structural finance and the debt and the 516 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 4: yearly deficit everything. I think we haven't suffered enough, and 517 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: so we won't change because we haven't suffered enough. And 518 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 4: I know that this is not satisfactory for people, because 519 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 4: anyone who looks at the numbers, so security runs out, 520 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 4: I should say it's insolvent, doesn't run out. In twenty 521 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 4: thirty five Medicare, people say I pay into Medicare. Most 522 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 4: people take out twice what they pay in. Okay, that's 523 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 4: not mathematically sustainable, But I just, man, we haven't suffered enough. 524 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: We haven't seen the interest on the debt become one 525 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 4: of the you know, the third largest budget item, bigger 526 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 4: than even the Pentagon. We haven't seen what that does 527 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 4: to household income. We haven't, So I hate to be 528 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 4: the bear of Manham. I'm taking your grinch roll right now. 529 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 4: The truth is Americans haven't suffered enough from the overspending, 530 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 4: so we're not going to do anything about it. The 531 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 4: only thing that can save us is if Doge starts 532 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 4: to rack up some wins on the small stuff and 533 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: people realize this is doable. The alternative more suffering until 534 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 4: we want the suffering to stop, and it may be 535 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 4: too late to stop it. 536 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Here's the other downside on this buck how many people 537 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: lack the ability to understand basic economics, so they're not 538 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: They may recognize the result, but they're not aware of 539 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: how to fix the situation. That's a bit like everybody 540 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: understands that prices are out of control. When you go 541 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: to the grocery store, you feel it. When you drive 542 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: through a fast food restaurant, you feel it. But how 543 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: many people understand what's necessary to fix that. That's my concern. 544 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Even on the suffering, you can suffer but not understand 545 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: how to rectify the suffering. On the analogy, it's been athletic. 546 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: If you're an alcoholic, at some point you look at 547 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: the alcohol and you say, that is doing this to me. 548 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm not going to touch it anymore. It's a rational response. 549 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: Most people can understand that. My concern is we don't 550 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: teach basic economics very well to the average kid in America, 551 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: and so a lot of people don't have the tools 552 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: to understand how to rectify economic failure in the country 553 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: and then hold people accountable who are making the choices 554 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: that cause it. Look, that's my concern, something that you know, 555 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: I try to I wish I whoa Ginger? 556 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: Sorry about that? That scared me. I thought it was 557 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: a rooster. 558 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 4: Ginger just right. She snuck under the radio table. She's 559 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 4: being such a little peaceful, little snuggle bunny under the 560 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 4: table here, and someone came in the front door and 561 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 4: she just jumped up like a watchdog. Sorry about that, everybody. 562 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 4: That kind of caught me by surprise. Dude, She's been 563 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 4: napping peacefully at my feet the entire show. You know what, 564 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 4: when we come back, I think Ginger saying, enough, you clowns, 565 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 4: stop talking about this sad stuff. 566 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 7: Let's talk about Christmas at holiday cheer and take. 567 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 4: Some of your calls, hopefully nice ones, and you know, 568 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 4: meaning nice about us, but maybe not.
