1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday edition. Good Friday addition. I know a 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: lot of you may have the day off. I know 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: all my kids do. So if you hear screaming yelling 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: in the background, I promise they're fine. They're probably just 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: playing video games downstairs. We've got a lot to dive into. 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: But one of my favorite, well, couple of things that 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: are out there. First, this idiot Maryland senator has been 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: able to meet with the wife beating the potentially human trafficking, 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the gang member, the illegal immigrant from l Salvador who 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: has been returned to El Salvador. I can't believe this 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: is the real resistance that Democrats are mustering. We talked 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: about yesterday, fifty six percent of Americans are in favor 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: of all illegals being deported. What do you think, just 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: off the top of here, Buck ninety ten, if you 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: told people, Hey, this guy from El Salvador who has 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: clear gang affiliation with MS thirteen, a very violent El 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: Salvadoran gang. He has been accused credibly by his own 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: wife of beating her on multiple occasions and the details 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: are not pretty. In the Maryland court proceeding related to that. 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: He was pulled over in the state of Tennessee suspected 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: of human trafficking. The Tennessee State Highway Patrol contacted the FBI, 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: and the FBI said, just let him go. During Joe 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: Biden's era of no punishment for anyone who illegally entered 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: the country, and we know that he illegally entered the country, 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: do you think ten percent of Americans consider him to 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: be a worthy cause for a sitting United States Senator 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: to obsess with or for an American political party to 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: decide is a foundational issue for their representatives to be 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: focused on. 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: I think that it's a little higher than that, but 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: it's a very clear minority. I would guess it's more 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: like twenty eight to twenty five percent, because about twenty 33 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: percent of the country is politically insane and could go 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: through the because it's about that. Also, even on the 35 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: you know, eighteen year old boys should be able to 36 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: play against eighteen year old girls if they say they're 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: trends in sports. I mean, you look at some of 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: these issues, Clay, and we're dealing with a country that's 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: twenty percent wacko. I would say, yeah, that's my general. 40 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: So so it's it's somewhere around there. I would just 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: throw into the mix here. You know, Clay, there's there's 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: no way that they're going to easily change their minds 43 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: on how they're going to approach Trump with any of this. 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: But he's not giving them a lot to work with. Yeah, right, 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: He's not doing things that would be easy for a 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: rational political party to oppose. 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: The stuff that he's doing. 48 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: And you know, the one place that they thought they 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: were getting some traction was on tariffs. Okay, he did 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: a ninety day pause, and he's negotiating. Let's see, markets 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: have stabilized, let's see, right, so that people won't get 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: people can't get that freaked out about it because that's 53 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: still very much in progress. And at the end of it, 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 2: I think he may he may have some really great 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: deals done. So they've decided to go with this. And 56 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: while I agree with you it's not a strong hand 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: they are playing, I don't know what other hand. 58 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: They have to play right now. 59 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: What are they gonna say, kick the borders wide open again, 60 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: we want all the illegals coming in. 61 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: We will talk about that a little bit more. I 62 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: also encourage you, if you are still angry about COVID, 63 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: as we are in the five year anniversary of fifteen days, 64 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: I think to stop the spread. 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: Basically, right, it's. 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: A little bit past that, but go right now on 67 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: your phones to COVID dot gov. The White House has 68 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: taken over covid dot gov and there, Buck are all 69 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: sorts of things on that website, including, among others, masks. 70 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Don't do anything to stop the spread. There was all 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: sorts of conflicting guidance. This leaked from a Chinese lab. 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci was involved in the cover up. 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: Again. 74 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: This is a reckoning for those of us out there 75 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: that have wanted a reckoning for all the lies we 76 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: were told during COVID. Covid dot gov. Check it out 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: and make sure that you do not miss it. 78 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: Today. 79 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: It is a incredible good Friday for those of us 80 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: out there who have been demanding this reckoning. Speaking of reckonings, though, Buck, 81 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: our good friend Leticia James, just to confirm staff she 82 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: has still not accepted our offer to come on. I 83 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: am assuming and we have not gotten any word from 84 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel. I'm assuming either or Andrew Cuomo. But they 85 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to come on and talk about this. 86 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: She says, Remember to refresh New York Attorney General Leticia James, 87 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: who said no one is above the law and no 88 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: one should be able to lie on a mortgage application 89 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: to get favorable treatment. 90 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 3: These were her own words, not mine. 91 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: She now says that despite the fact that she has 92 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: been caught lying on her mortgage applications, this is just 93 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: President Trump's revenge tour. She has spoken out about the 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: lies and the fraud that she has committed, and she 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: says this is just about President Trump. Buck, you predicted this. 96 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: But let's listen to cut four. 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 4: Let me just say two all New Yorkers and to 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: all Americans, the allegations are baseless. The allegations are nothing 99 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 4: more than a revenge tour. And as you mentioned, my 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: office was successful in securing a four hundred and fifty 101 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: four million dollar judgment against Donald Trump and others for 102 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 4: exaggerating the value of his assets, engaged in a patent 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: and practice of fraud, and the interest is accruing each 104 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 4: and every day while the case is on appeal in 105 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: the First Department. It's important that individuals know that this 106 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 4: is nothing more than the continuation of the tour he 107 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 4: went after law firms, universities, immigrants, women, thousands of federal 108 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 4: employees right now are unemployed. Our government is in chaos 109 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 4: and in disarray, Medicaid, social Security. 110 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go ahead and cut her off here. So buck, 111 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: am I missing it? Or did she explain anything about 112 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: why she lied on her mortgage claim in that in 113 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: that litany that we played for you, she's going going all. 114 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: In on the Clay Davis maneuver here from the wire, which, again, 115 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: for those of you haven't seen it, a black politician 116 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: in Baltimore Democrat is caught red handed, red handed with 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: a mortgage fraud and he just gets up on the 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 2: stand and is like, this is racism. I've done so 119 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: much for my community, has nothing to do with anything. 120 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, just figure and he gets off right. 121 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: It's it's that's the move that she's pulling here, except 122 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: in this case she's just leaning in on the anti 123 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: Trump thing, not the this is you know, racist persecution. Yes, 124 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: she's saying that this is all about going after Trump. No, 125 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: it's actually all about whether you committed mortgage fraud. And 126 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: she don't speak to it, but I will say this, 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: if you haven't committed, you know, I get how this 128 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: gang goes, you know, to Clay, if you haven't committed 129 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: mortgage fraud, I mean, when you say the allegations are baseless, 130 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: why don't you just say I didn't do this thing? 131 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? 132 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: I feel like she's speaking about this in a very 133 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: loyally way that doesn't address did you do it? 134 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: Well? This is also the problem she's in. 135 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: I'll play cut six here in a moment, but the 136 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: problem she's in, as we told you, this isn't a 137 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: complicated case, right. A lot of allegations of impropriety are 138 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: really complicated. They kind of make your eyes roll back 139 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: into your head. Most of you, at some point in time, 140 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: either have or will fill out a mortgage application. It 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: is not believable to me that the chief legal officer, 142 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: a highly trained lawyer of New York, would accidentally click 143 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: that her primary residence is in Virginia, or would accidentally 144 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: say that she's married to her dad, both of which 145 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: work in her favor to lower the rate of mortgage 146 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: that she might otherwise have to pay. 147 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: I would also add to that, Clay, you and I 148 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: have bought houses. A lot of people listening, I'd say 149 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: probably most of the people listening have bought a house. 150 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: At some point in time you have conversations with your lender. 151 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: This isn't just This isn't like checking a box when 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: you're in a hurry at Walmart to you know, return 153 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: something and oh, I clicked the wrong thing. This is 154 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: a major This is the largest purchase that ninety nine 155 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: percent of people in the country makes a home, all right, 156 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: And unless you're getting like a Bezos yacht. And this 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: is a situation where she would have had conversations with 158 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: her lender about whether this is an investment property or 159 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: a primary residence. 160 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: We've gone through this, so there's so many way there 161 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: is no defense. 162 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: There's no defense because it's not possible. She would know 163 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: that she got a preferential rate. She would know what 164 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 2: the status of this home is. I own investment properties 165 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: and I own my home. There's no way you could 166 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: make this mistake the way she has an error, right, 167 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: It's not possible. And it's again, I think it's so key. 168 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: The Virginia property, in particular, she can't have lived there 169 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: as her primary residence because legally she is required to 170 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: live in the state of New York because she is 171 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: New York's Attorney General. But make no mistake her only 172 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: defense is to claim Donald Trump or hey, this is sexism, 173 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: this is racism. Here's cut six. She says people are 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: harassing her relatives in Virginia. 175 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 3: Buck. 176 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: This is also I know you said she spoke loyally, 177 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: but this is also an admission in some ways that 178 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: people other than her are living in her primary residence 179 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: in a different state. 180 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: Cut six. 181 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 5: I was under the impression by all of this that 182 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 5: what they were really looking for is what they got, 183 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 5: which is a headline saying, you know, James is under 184 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: a criminal investigation. 185 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 3: Is that pretty much what's going on here? 186 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what they got. That's what they got. And 187 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 4: it's unfortunate that you have some of these right wing 188 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 4: conservative individuals who are camped out in front of my 189 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,359 Speaker 4: home and in front of the homes of my relatives 190 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: in Virginia, harassing them each and every day. And it's 191 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 4: unfortunate knocking on the doors of my neighbors and the 192 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 4: neighbors of my relatives in the state of Virginia. 193 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 6: And it is. 194 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 4: Nothing more than a headline, nothing more than again, retaliation 195 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: against all of the actions that I have taken successfully 196 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: against Donald Trump. 197 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but again yeah, sorry, are. We're both very 198 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: fired up, and I don't want to ever cross talk play. 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: I just clay play. First of all, she wasn't successful 200 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 2: in so far as he's president now, and the whole 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: game was to destroy important Yeah, right, I think that's 202 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: kind of a big deal, right, She's like, I was 203 00:10:59,520 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: so sixsed. 204 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: Actually not so much. He won. But but beyond that, the. 205 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: Way that she's talking about this, it's she's not addressing 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: any of the things because I think she knows the 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: information is going to come out that she did the thing, 208 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: and then she's just going to say it doesn't matter. 209 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: You should nullify. You know, this is gonna be the 210 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 2: implicit argument you should nullify mortgage fraud statutes because I'm 211 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: anti I'm a I'm an anti Trump warrior for the Democrats, 212 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: and that's going to be the whole, the whole thing. 213 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: This is why I think they need to bring state 214 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: and federal charges in multiple jurisdictions, because you don't know 215 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: what the jury pool you're gonna get. 216 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what Norfolk looks like. I do know 217 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: New York City. There may be a juror that will 218 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: sit on that trial and say I don't care that 219 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: she dead delightslied, but I will not convict her. 220 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: I just actually spent for the first time I was 221 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: in and we've got a great station in Norfolk. I 222 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: was there for the first time recently when I was 223 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: training with DJ Shipley at GBRS with my brothers, we 224 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: overnighted in Norfolk. I'm just it's a Navy town, but 225 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: it's a heavily Democrat town. It's about forty percent I 226 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: believe African American heavily Democrat town. So you know, if 227 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: you look into how this is going to go, she 228 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: may be able to run the political game essentially in 229 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: both jurisdictions that well, it all depends who's on the jury, 230 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: right and this all Surrey selection is going to be everything. 231 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: If you bring charges, I don't think you could stay 232 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: and be the Attorney General of New York if you're 233 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: facing felony charges in the State of New York. I 234 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: can't imagine. This is why we've reached out to Kathy Hokel, 235 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: who so far has stayed fairly quiet. I don't understand 236 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: how you could be the chief law enforcement officer of 237 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: the State of New York and be facing felony charges 238 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: for lying on your mortgage applications. I think she would 239 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: have to resign, Yes, I think that just find the charges. 240 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: I think that's true. So there's probably frantic behind the scenes. 241 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: As we discussed. The power to prosecute is the power 242 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: to destroy. Oh, it doesn't matter even if you win, 243 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,479 Speaker 1: or if you're innocent or anything else, the decision to prosecute. 244 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: I would just add this though, Clay, into our discussion 245 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: about this. We already saw. 246 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: With Hunter Biden that when you have a Democrat who 247 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: is important to the Democrat apparatus, they can be flagrantly 248 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: guilty of the clearest felony statutory violations and somehow they'll 249 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 2: get away with it. So that was the game that 250 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: she was playing, right, Hunter Biden didn't pay taxes, hid money, 251 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: money laundering, you know, a whole bunch of things. You 252 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: get not a day, not a day in prison, everybody, 253 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: not one day. Now. Difference is you don't have a 254 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: Democrat president to bail out to James if this ghest federal. 255 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: But I think she's certainly relying on the state charges 256 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: to evaporate very very suddenly. So this is this is 257 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: pyat wasn't the didn't Carolyn guys check this for me. 258 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: The prosecutor in Baltimore who was very high profile for 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 2: a while, Marilynd Moseby. Didn't she go away for mortgage 260 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 2: fraud or wasn't there a mortgage fraud issue? 261 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: I think that's the right one. 262 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: I think guys checked that one for me, because this 263 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 2: would just be remarkable if I'm pulling this out of 264 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: the memory bank, and I'm correct. It's Friday, so I 265 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: might be off, but we'll see, and we're gonna take 266 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: your calls on this one. I'm also just gonna get 267 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: this out of the way right away. 268 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: Clay. 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: The avalanche of emails from ladies who like short kings, 270 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: ladies who like their men tall short kings defending their height. 271 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: It was crazy last twenty four hours. And some close 272 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: friends of the show have also weighed in. So it's Friday, 273 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna have some fun with that later on. Get 274 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: ready for it. I want you to be prepared for 275 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: this uncertain financial future we're heading into right now. I 276 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: think long term it's gonna be great. I know Trump 277 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: has got some fantastic plans and strategies that are unfolding. However, 278 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: thirty seven trillion dollars in debt which is where we'll 279 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: be soon enough. That's a lot of money no matter 280 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: who's charge, and the dollar is getting pressured, there's inflation, 281 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: there's issues here. This is why diversifying into gold makes sense. 282 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: Putting a portion of your savings in four oh one 283 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: K into the one commodity that you and I know 284 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: has increased over time, gold just makes a lot of sense. 285 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: Look at the price of gold over the last month. 286 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: It's at near all time highs. Gold is a safe 287 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: haven for savvy investors. This is where you should go to. 288 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: Birch Gold Group.

But I want to make sure that we 308 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: are keeping you informed on it. In Frisco, Texas, which 309 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: is I believe north of Dallas, Texas, we had a 310 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: seventeen year old kid stabbed to death at a track meet. 311 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: And the kid that was stabbed to death at the 312 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: track meet was it appears essentially one hundred percent innocent. 313 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 3: Uh and. 314 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: Kid's name was Austin Metcalf. And yesterday Carmelo Anthony's legal 315 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: defense slash advising team decided that they needed to have 316 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: a press conference. Carmelo Anthony has admitted to stabbing this 317 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: other seventeen year old kid to death again at the 318 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: track meet. His family has since raised nearly five hundred 319 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They have moved into a nine hundred thousand 320 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: dollars mansion. There are reports that they have bought a 321 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: new car as well, and they now are saying we 322 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: are the victims. This was the beginning of the press conference. 323 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: The father of the young man who was killed came 324 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: to the press conference and the spokesperson started off. They 325 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: called police on him. He's also been swatted. But they 326 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: started off the press conference by saying, it's disrespectful for 327 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: the dad of the dad of the killed young man 328 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: to decide to show up at this press conference. I 329 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: just want you guys to be aware of what's going 330 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: on here.

He knows that it's inappropriate 334 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 6: to be near this family. 335 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: But he did it. 336 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 6: And so I say to people, actions speak louder than words. Okay. 337 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 6: What he has failed into is the political operatives that 338 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 6: want to make this thing a political thing of hate, get. 339 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: Bigotry and get racism. 340 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 6: We have conservative operatives that have been posting none stop 341 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 6: about this case. 342 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: I've boggled beyond belief.

The spokesperson's name is Dominique Alexander. That's 345 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: not the attorney, I don't believe. I think it's a spokesperson. 346 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: But buck to start off by saying, well, your character's 347 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: in question because you're the dad of the murdered kid 348 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: and you show up at the press cup, I can't 349 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: believe this is real. 350 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is. 351 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: Everyone who is paying attention to this case is seeing 352 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 2: something quite clearly. There is bigotry and racism involved, but 353 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: it is from black people against white people. Yeah, that 354 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 2: is what is going on. And you can look at 355 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: the comments being written all over the GoFundMe or however 356 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: they're raising the money. You can look at the racial 357 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: animist that is on display, and that is actually very 358 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: much going from some members. I think it's a very 359 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: small minority, but some members of the black community who 360 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: have decided to become involved in this case, to give money, 361 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: to give support. It's really just about showing their disdain 362 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: and animis for white people, and it's out in the open. 363 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: I don't know how else to describe it other than 364 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: just to tell you what is going on here. They 365 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: are treating this as though it's some kind of vengeance 366 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: for previous wrongs, that this young man who was just 367 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: murdered in the arms of his brother and in front 368 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 2: of his father, in front of all their high school classmates. 369 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: Somehow this is writing a historical wrong. I mean, this 370 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: is demonic stuff. This is stuff of the demon that 371 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: you are seeing here in terms of the mentality, the immorality, 372 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: and if they want to make this into an OJ thing, 373 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: they being this spokesperson and some of the other kind 374 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 2: of race hustlers who are around this, and then people 375 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: who are rallying behind this kid, it's going to be 376 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: really bad for everybody, and it's going to be really 377 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: bad for the country. The facts of this case look 378 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 2: very clear that this was a grotesque over reaction from 379 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: a young man that led him to murder somebody that 380 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: he had no business pulling a knife on or doing 381 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: anything like this in the first place, and he should 382 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: pay his debt to society and that means a very 383 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: long prison sentence. I do not see this as the 384 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: facts are not in dispute over what happened. The self 385 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 2: defense claim and had Tip Matt Walsher pointing this out. 386 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 2: This kid when the police arrives, like, oh, well, do 387 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: you think I could claim self defense? Let me tell 388 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: you something. If you pull a gun or a knife 389 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: and you use it in self defense, you think you're 390 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 2: doing self defense right away. You don't think about this 391 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: after the fact, you're like, maybe I could try to 392 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: convince people that this was self defense. 393 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 3: There's no other. 394 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: Defense, by the way, because in cold blood he stabbed 395 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: this kid. By the way, cut thirty two. This spokesperson 396 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: says the Carmelo Anthony case reminds us of the black 397 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: struggle in America. 398 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: This is what he said. Listen to this and that 399 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 3: is your constitution, right. 400 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 6: It's people out here reminding us of the black struggle 401 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 6: in America. 402 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: The black struggle in America is to kill a kid 403 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: at a track meet when the kid is unarmed and 404 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: there's no danger whatsoever. Again, I hate that this is 405 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: going to happen, but this has the potential to be 406 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: a truly nasty story in Texas. The fact that Buck 407 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: they're living in a nine hundred thousand dollars gated community house. 408 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: Now they have bought a new car with the money 409 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: that's being donated to them. They let this killer the 410 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: seventeen year old out on a massively reduced bail from 411 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: one million down to two hundred and fifty thousand, which 412 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: means they only have to post twenty five thousand dollars. 413 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: And if you go look at the comments in the 414 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: four hundred plus thousand dollars that this family has raised, 415 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: some of the most vile race comments you can possibly 416 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: imagine are being posted as people are posting their donations. Now, 417 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: if if this were a white kid that had stabbed 418 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: a black kid to death, if his bail had been. 419 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: Reduced from a million to two hundred and. 420 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: Fifty thousand dollars, if the family had moved into a 421 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: gated community nine hundred thousand dollar house, if they had 422 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: bought a brand new car, and if they were arguing 423 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: this is the struggle of being white in America, this 424 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: would be the number one story in America. If the 425 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: comments on the four hundred thousand dollars fundraiser were all 426 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: as racist in pro white sentiment and anti black sentiment 427 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: as they are pro black and anti white in the 428 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: favor of this Carmelo Anthony individual, it would be the 429 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: number one story in America, and it would be a 430 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: sign of how white supremacy has taken over the country 431 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: in the Trump era. This is how it would be covered. 432 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 2: Well, imagine for a second to put this into I 433 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: think a context that really also shows how grotesque what's 434 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: going on is a lot of you will remember this. 435 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: Back in South Carolina, there was a shooting in twenty 436 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: fifteen of a man named Walter Scott. He was shot 437 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: and killed, and there's video, very clear video, broad daylight. 438 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: He is running away from a cop and the cop 439 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: draws down and shoots him at about twenty five yards 440 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 2: in the back and kills him as he's running away. 441 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: That is absolutely murder. 442 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: That is absolutely not in any rules of engagement or 443 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: self defense or force escalation regulations. And that officer ended 444 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 2: up going away for I think it was murder. I 445 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 2: can't remember what the sentence was, but imagine for a 446 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: second clay of when that happened, that video came out 447 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: and the facts were not on dispute. All of a sudden, 448 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: there was this whole push to raise money for the 449 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: officer who shot this black guy and the yea and 450 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: killed him for no reason, and and that there were 451 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: all these all these spokesmen coming forward talking about that 452 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: the challenge of this white officer's life and how he 453 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: You know, this shows how how tough it is on 454 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: the job, and you would say, what the heck. 455 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: Is wrong with these people? 456 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 8: Right? 457 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: What is going on here that's happening right now with 458 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: this guy? Uh Carmelo Anthony in Texas. You have people 459 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: that are coming forward to really just celebrate them, celebrate 460 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 2: the murder and back up the murder of a young 461 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: white guy who did nothing to deserve being killed at all. 462 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how it's it's very straightforward. 463 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 3: I've noticed. 464 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: Have you seen much coverage of this from like the 465 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 2: New York Times, Washington Post? I was looking for it. 466 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 2: I feel like they're not getting deep into this story yet, 467 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: am I not? 468 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: Something not right? 469 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: No, not only that buck remember when they started tracking 470 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: down everybody who donated to Kyle Rittenhouse for his defense fund? 471 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean some. 472 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: I remember some guy like donated fifty bucks and a 473 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: report showed up at their door. Do you remember this 474 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: story and outed them and did a full report on hey, 475 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: why are you donating this to this this defense fund? 476 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: Look at some of the comments that are being made. 477 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: To my knowledge, nobody's covering any of the people that 478 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: are donating to the defense Fund. Now, I'm not saying 479 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: that I think that that was a fair story in 480 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: the first place. I think if you donate fifty dollars 481 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: to some charity event, I don't think the Washington Post 482 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: should show up at your door knocking on it. But 483 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: they did that to Kyle Rittenhouse's donors, and I think 484 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: one of the guys got fired in Utah. I remember, correctly, 485 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: we're recalling old stories. Let's see if I can nail 486 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: that story too, like Buck did earlier with Marilyn Moseby. 487 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: But I remember just being in disbelief that you could 488 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: donate to a charitable cause in some way and a 489 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: reporter could show up at your doorstep asking why did 490 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: you donate fifty. 491 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 5: Fifty dollars A time about fifty thousand dollars to Kyle 492 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 5: Rittenhouse's defense Fund was worthy of you having a story 493 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 5: written about you and you being tracked down by a 494 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 5: reporter to answer for why you gave fifty dollars to 495 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 5: his self defense fund. 496 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 2: It's it's remarkable, though, that this is this is happening, 497 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 2: and that you're not even you're not seeing any Democrat, 498 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: anybody with any standing in the Democrat or the black 499 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: community come forward to say, guys, this is not this 500 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: is not what we should be doing here. 501 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 3: What are you you know? 502 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: Yes, is he entitled to a defense? Yes, of course 503 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 2: he's in toited legal defense. Is he entitled to all 504 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: the rights of the accused? Yes, he's in title all 505 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 2: the rights of the accused. Should you be, you know, 506 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: publicly attacking the father of the deceased and giving this 507 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 2: kid's family a million dollar house to live in, and 508 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: all raising money and writing things online about how the 509 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: white kid deserved it. That's what's going on. That's the 510 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: problem that we are seeing. That's what everyone, I think 511 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: is is reacting to. And it is very interesting. I 512 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: wanted to check with you because I did a couple 513 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: of searches. New York Times, Washington Post not really touching 514 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 2: this because I think I think that some of their reporters, 515 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 2: and first of all, they're not as powerful as they 516 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: used to be. They can't withstand the screwtin either way 517 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: they used to. I think they realized, Clay, you have 518 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: a New York Times editorial, you know that's that's playing 519 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 2: this whole game of oh, we just need to raise 520 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: money so that he has a good legal defense and 521 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: everything else, they will get absolutely annihilated in public. They 522 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 2: can't defend this. This story. 523 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: In Utah, they did an investigation into a Utah paramedic 524 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: who donated ten dollars to Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense. 525 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. 526 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: They showed up at his house to ask him why 527 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: he was doing it. And credit to our team for 528 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: finding it. Utah reporter tracking down a guy who donated 529 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: ten dollars. 530 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: As I told you guys yesterday, I'm really loving this 531 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: this book mal the untold story about the eyes of 532 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: malt Say Toongue and what he did. And I know 533 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: it sounds like I'm making a huge I'm weaving way 534 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: too far here, but you read about the culture revolution, 535 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: Clay and the mentality and you're just like, Yeah, that's 536 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: Democrats in the first two years of Biden's administration. 537 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, just completely. 538 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 2: Drunk on power, no principles, no fair play. Whatever they 539 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: can do to destroy anybody in the way. You know, 540 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: they took it to the max and now they're paying 541 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: the prices they as they absolutely should. 542 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: Look. 543 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: The worst kept secret of someone behind their payments to 544 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: the irs is just that they're behind in their payments. 545 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: They know what's eventually going to happen, and a lot 546 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 2: of times people can feel a little embarrassed. I don't 547 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: want to talk about it. No one knows more. No 548 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: one knows that more rather than the people answering the 549 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: phone at Rush Tax Resolution.

We are 578 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 2: joined now by Mike Gallagh. He is head of defense 579 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 2: at Palentier. He's got a really interesting piece in the 580 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal Time for Accountability on the COVID lab 581 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: leak cover up. Mike, appreciate you making the time for us. 582 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 8: It's an honor to be with you. 583 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: Let's just jump into it. You got into this in 584 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: your piece. What does accountability look like? What does the 585 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: public need to know? What steps have to be taken 586 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: now when it comes to the lab leak cover up? 587 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 3: I see I love that there's a picture. 588 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: Of Fauci touching a little fake virus in your op ed. 589 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: He's the absolute worst. What needs to happen. 590 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 9: Well, I can't claim credit for the artwork that comes 591 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 9: with these op eds. I just do the words, but 592 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 9: it was quite nice to me. It just starts with 593 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 9: the basic step of complete declassification of relevant intelligence. If 594 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 9: you remember, we actually passed the law when I was 595 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 9: in Congress requiring that the Biden administration do just that, 596 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 9: but they didn't comply with the law. When they finally 597 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 9: did an investigation into the origins of COVID, it was 598 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 9: not serious. What came out was heavily redacted. It was 599 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 9: a regurgitation of the prevailing consensus. And so there's been 600 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 9: no accountability for our own scientific establishment which was profoundly corrupted. 601 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 9: Our own intelligence community was parroting the corrupted consensus of 602 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 9: the scientists, and even the authors of the proximal Origins article, 603 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 9: which spread a lot of this misinformation, have not been 604 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 9: held accountable. 605 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 8: If the opposite has happened. 606 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 10: They continue to get awards, Fauci continues to be lauded, 607 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 10: and we have centers named after Fauci. And without that 608 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 10: basic step of accountability, people just aren't going to trust 609 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 10: the government. They're not going to trust the health institutions, 610 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 10: the scientific institutions, and therefore we're less prepared to prevent 611 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 10: that future pandemic. So I think accountability starts with getting 612 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 10: the information out there, even if it's super embarrassing too. 613 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 10: The government agencies that allowed tax dayer dollars to be fundled, 614 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 10: funneled your corrupt nonprofits like the Eco Health Alliance and 615 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 10: wind their way into the hands of the Muhan. 616 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 8: Institute of Virology. 617 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 10: There's been no accountability thus far. 618 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: That's why I read your piece and I appreciate you 619 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: coming on with us. I know how busy you are 620 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: in your new job, and we'll talk about that maybe 621 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: in a moment. But Trump for people who do not know, 622 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: I encourage you to go to COVID dot gov today 623 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: and look at everything that's being laid out there. We're 624 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: five years after COVID, and Buck and I focus on 625 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: this a lot because we're kind of history nerds, and 626 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: one of the good things about time passing is over time, 627 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: history I like to think becomes more honest about what 628 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: really transpired. Are you optimistic that twenty forty years from 629 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: now will get a more honest version of what happened? 630 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: And the failures of this nation when it comes to 631 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: responding to COVID in generations ahead, or do you think 632 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: the same people that are trying to stop us now 633 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: will continue to fight for generations into the future to 634 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: avoid acknowledging how wrong they were. 635 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 10: Well, I would only say I don't think we have twenty, 636 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 10: let alone forty years right. We had a report a 637 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 10: few months ago that in February, researchers that the will 638 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 10: had Incevivirology had experimented with a new bat coronavirus that 639 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 10: looked a lot similar to COVID nineteen. What you learn 640 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 10: is you sort of dig into the nature of what 641 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 10: happened in Muhan, but lab accidents more broadly is that 642 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 10: these are actually more common than we realize, and so 643 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 10: part of the push for accountability is based on the 644 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 10: idea that the risks of a pandemic like the one 645 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 10: we went through with COVID nineteen or with one that 646 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 10: could be far worse if a future virus were just 647 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 10: as pathenogenic or more lethal. Rather, those risks have not 648 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 10: gone down. We haven't learned any lessons, and so we 649 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 10: need accountability on a year timeline, not a twenty year 650 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 10: time which is why I was very glad to see 651 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 10: that Resident Trump launched his website. I would encourage all 652 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 10: Americans to go to the website right now and really 653 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 10: lays out five basic common sense truths that the government 654 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 10: heretofore is not acknowledged. One, the virus possessed biological characteristics 655 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 10: that you couldn't find in nature. To all the data 656 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 10: suggests it's stemmed from a single introduction into humans, not 657 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 10: multiple spillovers like previous pandemics. Three, that the Wuhan Institute 658 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 10: had conducted gain to function research. 659 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 8: At an adequate safety levels. 660 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 10: Or that the researchers at the Wuhan It's too fell 661 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 10: ill with COVID months before the virus was allegedly discovered 662 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 10: at a web market. And finally, after all these years, 663 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 10: there's no scientific evidence of a natural origin that has surfaced. 664 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 10: That alone has done more to advance the case of 665 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 10: accountability than under four years of President Joe Biden. 666 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 8: So we need to press the gas. 667 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 10: We need to hold our own agencies accountable, and again 668 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 10: we need to declassify all the relevant information. 669 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: Mike, I wanted to pivot a little bit here and 670 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: lean into another area of expertise, something you're dealing with 671 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: day in and day out now as head of Defense 672 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 2: at Palenteer Technologies. I think one of the lessons that 673 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: anybody paying attention to what's going on over in Ukraine 674 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 2: with Russia, and especially if they're looking ahead at the 675 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 2: possibility at some point in the future of some kind 676 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 2: of hot conflict with China, is technology is going to 677 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 2: be absolutely critical. We're looking at drones, We're looking at 678 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 2: a future of telecommunications and high speed computing making decisions 679 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 2: on the battlefield. That is truly the stuff of sci 680 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 2: fi from not long ago, and it's it's becoming reality 681 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 2: now every day. But with that said, I know Palenteers 682 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 2: involved in the high tech edge of things with defense. 683 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 3: It wasn't long. 684 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 2: Ago where Google was upset. There was like an uprising 685 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 2: at Google over the prospect of doing anything that helped 686 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 2: the United States Pentagon right, like as if Silicon Valley 687 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 2: was its own little fiefdom that did not actually become 688 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 2: or was not actually a part of the United States. 689 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that is changing now? Do you 690 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 2: feel like there's an understanding that companies that are US based, 691 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 2: that employ Americans have a role in defense and that 692 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: means that they should take a patriotic position on Yeah, 693 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 2: we will work with the United States Pentagon. 694 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 8: I think it is changing. 695 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 10: I mean Google has actually recently changed its position. And 696 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 10: if you remember at the time, the reason so many 697 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 10: of us got upset when Google abandoned Project mayven is 698 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 10: they were simultaneously trying to work with China AI exactly 699 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 10: an AI center in Beijing. It was subsequently revealed there 700 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 10: was a project that they did abandon, but a project 701 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 10: they were exploring to center internet search in China. 702 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 8: So the message was, well. 703 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 10: We're cool working with a genocidal communist regime, but not 704 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 10: with the American military, because the American military occasionally has 705 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 10: to do things like kill Falafe Jiahatis in order. 706 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 8: To keep America safe. 707 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 10: And so into the brief step Talenteer, which was unapologetic 708 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 10: in its belief that America is the greatest country in 709 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 10: the history of the world, that we should have the 710 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 10: most lethal military in the world, and that some folks, 711 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 10: be they terrorists. 712 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 8: Or other bad guys, need to be killed occasionally. 713 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 10: And I do think what we're seeing on the battlefield 714 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 10: in Ukraine is forcing people to re examine their previously 715 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 10: held assumptions. There's a lot of capital in the venture 716 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 10: capital community that is trying to flow into defense technology companies. 717 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 10: And finally, I would say not to talk to my 718 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 10: own book. But when you have a company like Talent 719 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 10: that spent two decades trying to survive the so called 720 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 10: Valley of Death because it isn't easy for a defense 721 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 10: technology company to succeed because the Pentagon can be a 722 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 10: difficult customer, it proves to other companies that are trying 723 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 10: to do the same that. 724 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 8: It's possible to survive. 725 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 10: It's possible to go public, it's possible to have a 726 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 10: mission focused company, and that also is successful financially, which 727 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 10: is why we founded something called the First Breakfast Initiative, 728 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 10: which is designed to make it easier for non traditional 729 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 10: defense technology companies to serve and thrive because we need more. Right, 730 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 10: we can't just have five primes that control everything. We 731 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 10: need the primes to survive. They're always going to be there, 732 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 10: but we need a more diverse ecosystem of defense technology companies. 733 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 10: If we are going to have a hope of deterring 734 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 10: China from invading Taiwan, as well as simultaneously going after 735 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 10: terrorists in the Middle East and the other threat actors, 736 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 10: we have to deal with. 737 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: What you just said I think is important and also 738 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: to me connects with your editorial in the Wall Street Journal, 739 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: which is about the importance of truth and the commitments 740 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,479 Speaker 1: of fact. When you see so much of what's going 741 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: on in America today and around the world, whether it's 742 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 1: celebrating the United Healthcare CEOs killer, whether it is down 743 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: in Frisco, Texas, Carmelo Anthony stabs a seventeen year old 744 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: in the heart and raises four hundred thousand dollars. 745 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 3: As you just mentioned, so many of. 746 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: These elite institutions out there had people marching in favor 747 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: of the perpetrators of October seventh. Why are we having 748 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: such a different This is a big philosophical question, But 749 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: why do you think we're having such a challenge, especially 750 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: going into the Holy week of good and evil recognizing 751 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: them and being willing to stand on the side of good. 752 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 11: Well, I do think, you know, to really take it, 753 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 11: make it biblical, and maybe betray my Catholic perspective. I 754 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 11: do think as religion has retreated in. 755 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 8: Terms of its role in American. 756 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 10: Life, people have sought out other gods and in some ways, 757 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 10: politics or you know, a political tribe can become a 758 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 10: cult and still kind of a God shaped hole in 759 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 10: people's hearts. And I think correspondingly, there's also this epistemological 760 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 10: crisis that we have in America where people no longer 761 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 10: trust any sources of information, right, Like, we have this. 762 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 8: Very balkanized media landscape. 763 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 10: Where nobody really knows where to go to get truth, 764 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 10: and the risk of that is people can kind of 765 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 10: opt in to whatever reality they just want to live in, 766 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 10: and it's very hard to have a coherent conversation based 767 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 10: on facts, based on logic. As a result that being said, 768 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 10: you know, as a product of representing northeast Wisconsin, where 769 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 10: we're going to host the NFL Draft here shortly by 770 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 10: the way, everybody, I'm very excited. It's a huge, huge 771 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 10: thing for Green Bay, Wisconsin, a huge thing. 772 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 3: You know. 773 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 10: I think most people are just common sense, right. There 774 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 10: was this revolution of common sense that President Trump talked about. 775 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 10: I mean, people were afraid initially to speak their minds, 776 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 10: you know, particularly in COVID. But people started to see 777 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 10: what was happening to our kids with schools being shut down, 778 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 10: wasp happened to our loved ones who were being locked up, 779 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 10: and they thought, this doesn't make any sense. I do 780 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 10: have this abiding faith in the common sense of the 781 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 10: American people. Right now, they're demanding change and reform in 782 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 10: the basic institutions of government. I think Trump is an 783 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 10: instrument for that that change. It can be very disruptive 784 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 10: at times, that's what the American people want. So we 785 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 10: have to get back to that at the end of 786 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 10: the day. Like we have to realize, of course America's 787 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 10: not perfect, but we're the good guys, right we are 788 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 10: the greatest country in human history. That comes with a 789 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 10: great responsibility. But the rest of the world is looking 790 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 10: to us for leadership to leave with courage. If you 791 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 10: remember when China took over Hong Kong and hundreds of 792 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 10: thousands of people came out into the streets to protest, 793 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 10: what were they waving. They were waving American flags, right. 794 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 10: They were looking to us as an example for a 795 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 10: free society, and that's something we all have a duty 796 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 10: to maintain. 797 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: Well said, have a good Holy week and weekend, and 798 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again, hopefully soon.

At this point, I'd filled in for Glenn, 892 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 2: and then I filled in for Sean Hannity and then 893 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 2: Rush's team. Sure enough, they said we're gonna let you 894 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 2: sit at the at the Golden Mic, and I was, 895 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 2: you know, this was a huge break in my career. 896 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 2: I was incredibly excited, and I came down the week 897 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 2: of it. I came down with a cold, and I 898 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 2: remember thinking, Okay, this will be fine because all the 899 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,359 Speaker 2: cold will be bad on the Monday Tuesday, but by 900 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 2: Friday I should be okay. What I didn't realize is 901 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 2: that sometimes if you're going to get leeryingitis, it happens 902 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 2: toward the end of the cold, or rather, you know, 903 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 2: mid to end of the cold, because your vocal cords 904 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 2: get so inflamed and dried out from the virus clay. 905 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 2: The day before I had that show, I had the 906 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 2: only time in my life this has happened to me. 907 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 2: I could not speak at all. I had no voice whatsoever. 908 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 2: And that sounds obviously like I'm gonna wimp out of this, 909 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 2: so I can't. I don't know what I'm gonna do, 910 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 2: so I'm scrambling. I'm drinking tea. I'm doing all this 911 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 2: sort of stuff and God bless her. I call my mom. 912 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 2: I say, Mom, I got a fill in for Rush tomorrow. 913 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I was. 914 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 2: Like, ah that, I mean I had nothing, no voice, nothing. 915 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 2: And she finds she's just scrambling. We're doing online research. 916 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 2: She finds somebody who is the person the doctor in 917 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 2: New York who opera singers go to when it's opera 918 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 2: night and they have Oh and there's something that she 919 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 2: can do. And so my mom and this is all 920 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 2: my mom, I gotta say. My mom calls this doctor 921 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,720 Speaker 2: who says, I'm not open tomorrow. I'm going to the Hamptons. 922 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 2: My mom says, my son is filling in for the 923 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 2: biggest radio show in the country. I guess in the world. 924 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a bigger show in China, 925 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 2: but you know, bigger show in the world. Can you 926 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 2: please just help him, like whatever you can do. She goes, 927 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 2: all right, the day of I go in there, and 928 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 2: I go in there ten o'clock in the morning. She 929 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,799 Speaker 2: looks at my vocal cords. It's doctor Coravin. She looks 930 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 2: at my vocal cords, Clay, and she goes, you you 931 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 2: are you are cooked? There's no chance you're going to 932 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 2: be able to do this show. The only option is 933 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a steroid shot. The steroid 934 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 2: shot will bring the inflammation of your vocal cords down, 935 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 2: but it will only last three to four hours. Oh wow. 936 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 2: So it's like ten thirty in the morning the day 937 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 2: of the show. And you know, she didn't she didn't know, 938 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 2: she didn't know doing the show. She didn't know what time. 939 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 2: I'm like, that actually will work? Can you give me 940 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 2: the shot late? How can we do it? And so 941 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 2: that I started out that show, I said I had 942 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 2: a bit of a cold. I was shaking that my 943 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 2: voice the whole time was going to just disappear and 944 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: I would sound like a huge, a huge wimp. And 945 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 2: at the by the end of the show, by the way, 946 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 2: the voice was pretty much gone. And that night I 947 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,760 Speaker 2: couldn't speak again. So that was the whole if you're wondering, 948 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 2: And for days at the anxiety level for day after 949 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 2: as I was just like shaking it home, like, oh 950 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 2: my god, I was so scared my voice. 951 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 8: Was gonna go. 952 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: But it went well enough they had me back. You know, 953 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: here we are okay. So I want to give. So, 954 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: first of all, that's great. The doctor was there and 955 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 1: she was willing to do this. Did your mom think 956 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 1: on the spot about the idea of opera singers and 957 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: how they were treated? I actually am curious house. I mean, 958 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: that's a brilliant idea that she would have had, because 959 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: we make a living based on being able to talk. 960 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't even have thought. I mean, first of all, 961 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: and you're in New York City, I know, Nashville. I 962 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: would have been totally in trouble because I can't imagine. 963 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 2: My mom loves you know, my mom was she was 964 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: in the near she was in La at the American 965 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 2: Ballet Theater, and so she loves classical music and she 966 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 2: has friends in the opera in New York and everything, 967 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 2: so she knows that world a bit. But it was 968 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 2: totally her idea, and I even thought about it. That's 969 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 2: Mom saving the day. Totally saved the day, and the doctor. 970 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 2: The doctor looked at me, she was like, she's like, 971 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 2: your vote you have. She actually said, if I tried 972 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 2: to push through without the steroid, you can do permanent 973 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 2: damage because you can create scar tissue because of all 974 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 2: the inflammation in your vocal box. So this was just 975 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 2: at all all the stars alive. But people ask, yeah, 976 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 2: my eleven day. I have never been nervous doing anything 977 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 2: in media in my life before or since. 978 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 3: That was the only. 979 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,760 Speaker 2: Time and by far the biggest time I was ever nervous. Yes, 980 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 2: being behind the Golden EIB Mike when you know Rush 981 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 2: was having his six hundred and eighty stations or whatever 982 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 2: it was. But Clay, the whole time I've come back 983 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 2: from break, I was like, I can still talk. Okay, 984 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 2: we got one more segment. We got one more segment. 985 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 2: I told the team. 986 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 3: Ali, dude, Ali, you remember you were there. 987 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: So was Mikey just running behind the mic. 988 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 3: I do remember, and I remember meeting you that day. Buck, 989 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 3: I would have had no idea you were cool as 990 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:50,760 Speaker 3: a cucumber. 991 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 2: I was shaken like a leaf. I was shaking like 992 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 2: a leaf. So yeah, that was I mean, Clay, you're 993 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 2: the same. I can tell you the same thing. Even 994 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 2: with the first time I did TV, Like the first 995 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 2: time I was on cable news, I was like, I 996 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 2: was cia baby, cool as a cucumber, Like this isn't 997 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 2: gonna phase me. This was when I was like, oh 998 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 2: my god, oh my god, Oh my god. So I 999 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 2: remember it trusts me eleven years ago in Mom, you 1000 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,760 Speaker 2: are the greatest mom, but also a genius on the spot. 1001 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like even to think, okay, 1002 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 1: who would be able to treat this, who would be 1003 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: able to figure out a way to make this happen? 1004 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: Because this is always an issue for singers, right, I know. 1005 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 1: I think I came on the air and talked about 1006 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: the fact that I went to watch Adele and some 1007 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,399 Speaker 1: of you were like, well, no, it was incredible, right, 1008 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: she was amazing in Caesar's but then she's had to 1009 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: cancel a ton of her performances because of vocal fold 1010 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: related issues. And obviously, when you are an incredible talent 1011 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 1: like that, something as simple as a cold can throw 1012 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: everything into an uproar. So I wouldn't have even thought 1013 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: about that. But credit to your mom, because you probably 1014 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: got how many doctors like that are there in the 1015 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 1: name ten. 1016 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 2: Veryigh that specialized that specialized in this, because most people 1017 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 2: would just say, look, you got a cold, like go 1018 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 2: home from war, like you know, it's just don't talk 1019 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 2: as much as you don'tirely will fine, It's it's not 1020 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 2: a major medical issue unless you make a living and 1021 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,879 Speaker 2: have a performance of some kind with your voice. But yeah, 1022 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 2: I like to tell people on such a vocal athlete 1023 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 2: that I had to take steroids performance enhancing drugs. 1024 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 1: For my So how long did it take for your 1025 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: voice to get back to normal after you took the 1026 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 1: steroid shot to be able to do the show on that. 1027 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,320 Speaker 8: First three days? 1028 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 3: Two to three days still of just like being shut down. 1029 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, horse, you know, sounded totally weird, but yeah, 1030 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 2: So when I met Ali and the team and Mike 1031 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 2: and Mike, Mike Mamone was there. Mike knew I was 1032 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 2: nervous as hell. But anyway, when I was there, they 1033 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 2: were there, and that was how it all went. Can 1034 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 2: I also do one more throwback? So that was the 1035 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 2: eleven year anniversary. We had the one thing. I think, Clay, 1036 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 2: you'll appreciate this because in the absolute you and I 1037 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: got to know each other the first time because of COVID, 1038 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 2: Because I was like, who's this sports guy who actually 1039 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,839 Speaker 2: understands that masks are crazy and that we shouldn't shut 1040 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 2: all this stuff down. Prusa Mark who went to the 1041 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 2: Rangers game who knows sports, was like, you got to 1042 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 2: know this Clay guy. He's saying what you're saying. May April, 1043 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 2: May twenty twenty. We're talking about very very early on. 1044 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 2: But I was so frustrated about what was going on 1045 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 2: with the social media platforms at that time that I 1046 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,720 Speaker 2: just straight up I went on a rant on Twitter 1047 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 2: about how it's never going to change. We need a 1048 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 2: billionaire who's conservative to step up and buy one of 1049 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 2: these things, because otherwise we're just toast and rush. This 1050 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 2: is June sixteen, twenty twenty. He read the whole thing 1051 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 2: on air. Listening to this play twenty Many. 1052 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 15: Of you might remember the former guest host on this program, 1053 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:43,360 Speaker 15: Buck Sextead of the CIA. Buck now tweets a lot. 1054 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 15: Does he have his own show now? Or yeah he does? 1055 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 15: Wait wait, Buck has been on a tweet storm and 1056 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 15: had to put it in one of those one of 1057 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 15: those thread apps because there's so many tweets and he's 1058 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,399 Speaker 15: ticked off at how conservative everything has just given up. 1059 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 15: Has just seated the country seated, Hollywood, seeded, music, seated, 1060 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,919 Speaker 15: television seated, the media seated. 1061 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 3: Everything. 1062 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 15: Doesn't understand it if one of the conservative millionaires out 1063 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,360 Speaker 15: there has any stomach for saving their country from this mob, 1064 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 15: they should buy and flip a major media platform or 1065 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 15: fund a new one and make it an unsinkable aircraft 1066 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 15: carrier of true free speech. 1067 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 2: Clay Elon bought Twitter four years later, and I think 1068 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 2: changed the trajectory of the twenty twenty four election and 1069 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,200 Speaker 2: online discourse as it exists. And you know, so it 1070 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,359 Speaker 2: was a long time coming. And Rush saw too that 1071 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 2: with the Remember that was the height of the censorship 1072 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 2: on social media. 1073 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we were just. 1074 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 2: Getting pummeled, shut down, locked, And isn't amazing now we're 1075 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 2: talking about COVID reckoning and we actually have a free 1076 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 2: we have and we have truth and we have rumble 1077 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 2: on these other platforms. But that was like the darkest 1078 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 2: June of twenty twenty, the darkest days of social media 1079 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 2: censorship in a lot of ways. 1080 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 3: Oh, I totally remember. 1081 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean that was when I was trying to argue 1082 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 1: for schools reopening and to play sports. And you would 1083 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 1: have thought that I was the craziest person on the planet, right, 1084 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: I mean, just the idea that And I'm thankful that 1085 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: I lived in Tennessee and people like Ron DeSantis and 1086 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: a lot of you who live in Red States, your 1087 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 1: schools opened back up. My kids went back to school 1088 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty. But I knew if we 1089 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,799 Speaker 1: could play sports, it would be a huge signpost for 1090 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 1: returning to cultural normalcy. And at that point in time, 1091 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: it's not just that Elon. You're right, it's not just 1092 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: that Elon bought Twitter. It's that suddenly he's awoken Mark Zuckerberg, 1093 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,919 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, other people who weren't as brave to lead 1094 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: the charge, but they've at least been willing to follow 1095 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 1: the charge up the hill to try to put back 1096 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: in play some measure of free speech principles in the 1097 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: online marketplace. 1098 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 2: Right did Elon flipping X as I thought at the time, 1099 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 2: right when he was doing it, And you were the 1100 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 2: first one who ever told me that was even under consideration. 1101 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 2: I remember you said, Hey, I think Elon because of 1102 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 2: the Babylon b account freeze, and because he knows Seth Dylon, 1103 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 2: Seth Dylan, Right, yeah, Seth Dylan, and you know that 1104 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 2: this may happen, which at the time seemed like, oh 1105 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 2: my gosh, like that's sure enough. Forty three billion dollars later, 1106 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 2: Elon flips it around. But that also puts downstream pressure 1107 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 2: on the other social media platforms not to be fair, 1108 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 2: and I know they're not, and Facebook is still a 1109 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 2: wasteland in a lot of ways for free speech, but 1110 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 2: to be less oppressive because they don't want to lose 1111 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 2: all market share to for half the country. So and 1112 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 2: then that was an enormously important shift that we should 1113 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 2: never lose sight of because Clay, I mean, we were 1114 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 2: talking about this stuff, and you and I were discussing 1115 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 2: masks in twenty twenty. It it was like it was 1116 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 2: like the end times for free spee. It really was. 1117 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 3: Couldn't say stuff about the election in that year. By 1118 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 3: the end of the year, Trump. 1119 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,560 Speaker 2: Got kicked off of social media, couldn't say masks don't work. 1120 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 2: These these websites attacking us. And you know, I'm sure 1121 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 2: you had this too. I had the New York Times 1122 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 2: attack me. I had what's that fact what's the fact check? 1123 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 3: Dot of org? With all these organs, you know some 1124 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 3: of those even still exist. 1125 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: But yes, there was an entire cottage industry of places 1126 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 1: designed to attack anyone who had the goal to speak 1127 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: out in any way against COVID lockdowns or COVID shots 1128 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: or asking. 1129 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 3: They came after you and the. 1130 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 2: People who were attacked, and I know a lot of 1131 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 2: you and your personal capacities felt the same thing we felt. 1132 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 2: What we dealt with it publicly and in a professional 1133 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 2: setting on radio and on TV. But we were right 1134 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 2: about everything. So I feel good about that. Remember that. 1135 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 2: Don't ever let that go. When it really counted. 1136 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 3: Where were you? 1137 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 2: And I could look at Clay and Clay can look 1138 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 2: at me. We know where we were on the COVID stuff, 1139 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 2: and I know a lot of you it's the same deal. 1140 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 2: And that's why I think the accountability still matters. Look, 1141 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to the gun range tomorrow. I'm going to 1142 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,600 Speaker 2: be training with my with my brother, and we've got 1143 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 2: a whole slew of firearms that we're going to be 1144 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 2: putting ourselves through our paces with. And let me tell you, 1145 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: you know, we both carry. And if you're going to 1146 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 2: be somebody who carries, or you're even considering it, you 1147 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 2: need to become a member of USCCA. USCCA members get 1148 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 2: self defense education, training and self defense liability insurance. And 1149 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 2: that's because if you do have to use your firearm 1150 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 2: to defend yourself, it is ruinously expensive, even if you 1151 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 2: did everything right. If they bring not just this criminal case, 1152 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 2: which they could do even if you're on the right 1153 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 2: side of this. They could just bring a civil case. 1154 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 2: And now you've got to deal with that too. You 1155 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 2: need USCCA to have your back. The line between victim 1156 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 2: and victory is preparation.
