1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: All right, second hour play and bought kicks off right now,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: and we know that Hillary Clinton is testifying right now

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: up on Capitol Hill about Epstein stuff. And we're going

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: to bring you this as it goes, as it was forward.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: But something strange just happened.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Play.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: We're just bringing people the breaking news on this. An

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: advisor to Hillary Clinton. So the House Oversights House Oversight

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Committee's deposition had to be stopped because of an unauthorized

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: photo being shared on social media. Play thirty three.

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: This just happened.

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: Hearing just went off the record for a moment because

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: it seemed that some of you may have seen that

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: there was some there were some photographs shared on social media,

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: which is against Chamber of rules that were read at the.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 4: Top of the meeting.

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 5: So the hearing has been caused briefly while they figure

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 5: out where the photo came from and why possibly members

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 5: of Congress are violating ACUT fools.

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 6: So I'm actually sare I can you explain what the

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 6: picture is?

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you look, if you look on your Twitter feed,

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: un who came from Loo.

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: Came from Benny Johnson, he said, Lauren Bover gave it.

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at Benny Gobson's people.

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: Oh, Benny Johnson shared a naughty photo.

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: What happened here? This is I didn't even know this

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: was a thing.

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know this was a there was some rule

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: about it. Anyway, they've paused the hearing because someone gave

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Benny Johnson a photo to share on social media and

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: he shared it.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

34
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: I guess, team take a loo. Look what did Benny share?

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: What is this photo that could pause the hearing? I

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: think it's just a photo of the hearing of.

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 7: The hearing, that's it, because they specifically are doing it

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 7: without cameras present. So I presume that that was negotiated

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 7: because they don't want the footage of Hillary Clinton to

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 7: be used. I don't know if they're going to do

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 7: a public hearing or not tomorrow. Is Bill Clinton. But

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 7: I'm guessing sobody snapped a photo of it, it got shared,

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 7: and then it ended up on social media and they've

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 7: had to stop the hearing as a result.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: But just oh yeah, okay, so he shared he shared

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: a photo. It is Jeff by the way, we know

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: the team just pulled it. We know it's just a

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: photo of Hillary, but kind of just point out it's

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: a photo of Hillary at like a random conference.

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: You can tell me she just got this is like.

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: A committee meeting of mean old ladies who have nothing

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: else to do in Zurich or something like. You have

53
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: no idea, there's no there's nothing about this photo that's

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: particularly interesting other than apparently you're not allowed to take

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: photos in the hearings.

56
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: So that's all.

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, And look, far be it for me to defend

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 7: Hillary Clinton unless they have photos of her on the

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 7: plane or photos of her with Epstein. It seems like

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 7: she basically is showing up because Bill Clinton had a

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 7: relationship with Epstein, and she, like she has been doing

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 7: for the last forty some odd years, is going to

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 7: be answering questions about what Bill Clinton did. And she

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 7: may may not have a lot of knowledge about some

65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 7: of the things that Bill Clinton did. So it doesn't

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 7: seem to me like there is much here. And what

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 7: I will say is there were two things that Democrats

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 7: seem to be focused on at the State of the

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 7: Union if you looked at what their lapels showed and

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 7: everything else.

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: One was we saw we.

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 7: Talked about it, the anti ice pens that people like

73
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 7: Rashida t Leeb were wearing that had an explotive followed

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 7: by ice.

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: Very succinct there.

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 7: The other one was Democrats have really decided to make

77
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 7: this Epstein release their primary method of attacking Trump and Buck.

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: This is starting to have and I know all the.

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 7: Epstein people out there are flooded in but the way

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 7: that they are sharing these stories, it's starting to feel

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 7: like the Steel dossier to me. And let me explain

82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 7: what I mean by that. And you can speak to

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 7: this in much more detail because of your background with

84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 7: the CIA, but you basically have now completely unverified allegations

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 7: which seem to have no substance or validity at all

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 7: behind them, that are now front pages of New York

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 7: Times today was Oh, there's an accusation against Trump made

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 7: by what appears to be a crazy person that did

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 7: not come out until twenty nineteen and appears to have

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 7: no basis in reality at all. It feels both like

91
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 7: the Steel dossier and the Kavanaugh accusations, where the media

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 7: didn't matter how crazy the people were. They treated these

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 7: accusations all as legitimate. So they seem to have decided

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 7: this is their angle to go after Trump in second term.

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I also think there's a little bit of like taking

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: a step back and just get away from Hillary Clinton

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: talking about Epstein. Apparently she didn't really know Epstein. But

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're asking here about this whole thing. Honestly,

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: we're all forgetting the answers and everything else, but I'm

100
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: also not for not getting the answers. As in, like,

101
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: nothing is going to come out of this hearing, just

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: so just to work clear, Just like I told you

103
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: nothing was going to come out of the JFK Fels.

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Yes it did, Bucket, No it didn't. Okay, nothing is

105
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: going to come out of this hearing with Hillary Clinton.

106
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: It's just putting Hillary through it. Hey, look, you could

107
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: say putting Hillary through it because she would do this

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: to us or whatever. If that's that's one thing. But

109
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: if you're waiting, you're waiting for the big Epstein revelation

110
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: from Hillary Clinton.

111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

112
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. But here's what I do

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: see happening. And this actually goes to the state of

114
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the Union and the state of the Democrats right now.

115
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I think they don't know really what to do in

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: a post Trump era, and they're starting to realize that

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: it is coming now, obviously not before the midterms. They're

118
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna run against Trump as much as they can. They're

119
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna use the ice stuff, and they're gonna

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: talk about this. But when when they're flailing at Trump

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: with Epstein, for one, it shows that they've got nothing else. Okay,

122
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: they got they have nothing of any real substance to

123
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: hit Donald Trump with. And I know we're all supposed

124
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: to sit around and think about like ice in Minneapolis

125
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: for the rest of our lips. No, there's other things

126
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: and more important things that are happening elsewhere, and people

127
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: have moved on largely. So that's that's one part of it.

128
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I think they don't really know how to position themselves

129
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: as a party right now at all. I mean, here,

130
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: here's CNN talking about Trump after that State of the

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: Union clay and they have to say that based on

132
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: the data they're able to pull together. Trump was looking

133
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: great after that State of the Union play five.

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 8: Look at the growth President Trump made over the speech.

135
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 8: So pre speech it was fifty four percent of speech

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 8: said his policies will move the US in the right direction.

137
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 8: After the speech, that number goes up ten percentage point.

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 8: So Donald Trump made some progress with people watching the

139
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 8: speech from their pre speech expectations to what they saw

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 8: in the speech itself.

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: And that's sixty four percent number.

142
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 8: That's pretty much in range across all of his State

143
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 8: of the Union addresses in his first term last year

144
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 8: the Joint Session. That's about what we've seen is roughly

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 8: two thirds have walked away from his speech as thinking

146
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 8: he's going to move it in the right direction.

147
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 7: Look, we played that in the first hour as well, Buck,

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 7: and I think it's the most important takeaway from the

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 7: reality of what happened in that speech. Trump won over viewers,

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 7: and I think it goes into what you're raising is, Look,

151
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 7: twenty twenty six is going to be the last opportunity

152
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 7: for Democrats to run against Trump, and then they have

153
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 7: to actually start to argue for things that they believe in.

154
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 7: I mentioned that mortgages dropped under six percent, health care

155
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 7: costs are going up. That's largely a function of Democrats

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 7: having screwed up on healthcare with Obama Obamacare. But they're

157
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 7: going to try to run on health care. Abortion is gone.

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 7: I said this yesterday. I understand that they may try

159
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 7: to run on it. You know, Kamala made her entire

160
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 7: You talk about funny clips. You're talking about funny clips

161
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 7: that we enjoy every single time. Makes me smile to

162
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 7: think about it. Socio, the political lady who went to

163
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: go buy her bottle of champagne and lecture the guy.

164
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I said, excuse me, sir, I'm a political analyst and

165
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm pine champagne because the women of America are going

166
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: to be heard.

167
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 7: And then Kamala ran her entire campaign on abortion and

168
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 7: it didn't work in twenty twenty four, and I think

169
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 7: it's even less likely to work in twenty twenty six.

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 7: I mean, if you are out there and you are

171
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 7: listening to us, and you have you have granddaughters and

172
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 7: they're single, Democrats managed to mobilize single women with the

173
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 7: idea that their daughters were going to get dragged out

174
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 7: of out of the house by their hair. If you

175
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 7: got pregnant, you're not going to be able to cross

176
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 7: state lines. And it may have worked in twenty two.

177
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 7: I think it did. I think it forestalled what otherwise

178
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 7: would have been a red wave. In twenty four, they

179
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 7: tried it again. It didn't work at all. I don't

180
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 7: even know if they can run that playbook in twenty

181
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 7: six I really don't. I mean, I think the lesson

182
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 7: of Dobbs has been that it moved abortion into state legislatures.

183
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 7: And if you're desperately focused on that as your right

184
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 7: can be, then figure out what your individual state policy

185
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 7: is going to be. Fight the battles there. It feels

186
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 7: like basically all fifty states have come up with whatever

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 7: their abortion policy is, and we have fifty different state

188
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 7: laboratories dealing with abortion. The number of abortions, despite what

189
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 7: was said, really didn't change at all. So if you

190
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 7: don't have abortion, and if healthcare actually you're the cause of,

191
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 7: maybe they're going to be able to demogogue health care.

192
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 7: I think what you're getting at is a really important part,

193
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,239
Speaker 7: really important. Think what do Democrats stand for that majorities

194
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 7: of Americans agree with?

195
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Even the ice thing.

196
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 7: You're opposed to illegal immigrants being removed from the country,

197
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 7: that is not something that the vast majority of Americans

198
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 7: are in favor of. So what I mean, I mean this, honestly,

199
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 7: what is the Democrat policy that actually majorities of Americans

200
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 7: are in favor of.

201
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: I can name a lot that Republicans are on.

202
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 7: Trump is a master of these eighty twenty issues and

203
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 7: getting Democrats to take the twenty What is can you

204
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 7: even think? I honestly can't think of one. What is

205
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 7: a sixty forty issue that Democrats are on the right

206
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 7: side of?

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Now, Clay, I sit here and I can't think of

208
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: a single thing, because it really it was the Democrat

209
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Party of the Let's just look at the Democrat Party

210
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: of the Obama era for a second and how they

211
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: position themselves, not what they were and not what they did.

212
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: How they positioned themselves. First of all, Obama came in

213
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: as a traditional marriage candidate, which is which is really interesting,

214
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: right he was like, he was like, no, gay marriage,

215
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: can't do that. That was a ran against it, right, right,

216
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: So just start with that. Okay, Now we've got Joe

217
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: Biden's White House putting out Yeah, trans the twelve year olds,

218
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: why not, that's what the medicine says, man put me

219
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: back to sleep. Like we all know, they went completely insane.

220
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: But they were the health care party.

221
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: That was really their thing. Oh, because look, that's the

222
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: thing that affects everyone. Everyone gets scared.

223
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to know and it's a basic human thing

224
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: that when they get sick, they're gonna have the care

225
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: they need. I get that right. We're in't a country

226
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: now where the problem like the same way that people

227
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: you know, when you're hungry, you want there to be food.

228
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: We're actually in a country where poor people the problem

229
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: is that too much food of low quality that gives

230
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: them health problems because people get too fat. So no

231
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: one's actually starving to do people are malnourished, people have

232
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, have have different kinds of issues of food.

233
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: But so people want to have healthcare and I get that,

234
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: and Democrats were saying we're going to make sure you

235
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: have it, and they screwed.

236
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: The whole thing up. They've screwed the whole thing up.

237
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: They've made it worse in every respect.

238
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: The all the healthcare stuff has gotten worse that Democrats touch,

239
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: that Democrats were involved in, So that I think that

240
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I think is a hole that they can't fill. Also, Clay,

241
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: they used to be we're in agreement with Republicans about

242
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: securing the border.

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: We just want to do it differently.

244
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: Now everybody knows that's a lie because they didn't want

245
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, they kicked the border wide open. Trump secured it,

246
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: and they're still complaining about it. Right, So your point

247
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: about sixty forty issue, I mean, you just you have

248
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: to be ignorant that they have to get people to

249
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: believe lies for that to be the case. They have

250
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: to get people and not understand that healthcare premiums are

251
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent over

252
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the last decade because of Obamacare.

253
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: And so that's where I.

254
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 7: Wonder right now, the only thing that unites the Democrat

255
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 7: Party is they hate Trump, and the base of the

256
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 7: Democrat Party hates Trump desperately, even in the face of

257
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 7: pretty good results coming in now and the economy is

258
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 7: going to be better, I think, So what do they

259
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 7: actually stand for? I think they're in a tough spot.

260
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 7: I don't think I don't see very many things that

261
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 7: they stand for that have majority public approval, and at

262
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 7: some point that's going to blow up in their face,

263
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 7: and even more significantly than I think what happened in

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 7: twenty four. Look, one of the things I admire is

265
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 7: people who are able to build successful businesses, and the

266
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 7: founders of Legacy Box, Nick and Adam fall into that category.

267
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 7: I spoke on on Tuesday night at a Nashville event

268
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 7: that was put on by Nick and Adam. That's called

269
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 7: in the black. The goal is, hey, let's just balance

270
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 7: the federal budget. And if you are a business owner,

271
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 7: small business owner, big business owner, whatever you run, you've

272
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 7: likely had to make payroll. You've likely had to do

273
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 7: something that the federal government doesn't have to do. You've

274
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 7: got to balance your books. You've had to make sure

275
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 7: that you bring in more revenue than your expenses. And

276
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 7: Legacy Box has built a great business by serving people

277
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 7: and helping to digitize their old family photos, their old

278
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 7: VHS tapes.

279
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: They're old, eight millimeters.

280
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 7: Whatever your family's legacy is, Legacy Box can make it

281
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 7: digital so it's preserved forever. So you can text your

282
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 7: kids and your grandkids that old photo from back in

283
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 7: the nineteen twenties, or even the eighteen hundreds, that old

284
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 7: VHS video that you have on those disintegrating VHS tapes

285
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 7: from somebody's Christmas back in the nineteen eighties, or somebody's

286
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 7: birthday party back in nineteen ninety two. That's what legacy

287
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 7: Box does. And right now you can go to legacy

Speaker 7: Welcome back in Play Travis Bud Stepston Show. We got

299
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 7: a couple of calls. Let's see Tom in Spokane. What

300
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 7: you got for us?

301
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: Oh Queton book? Yes, anyway, I just wanted to say,

302
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, Trump derangement syndrome is real, but it goes

303
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: both ways. Uh. People on the left I think Trump

304
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: can do no wrong. People like you two think Trump

305
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: can do reverse that. People on the left think Trump

306
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 4: can do no right, And you guys seem to think

307
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: Trump can do no wrong. I voted for Trump.

308
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, I mean I think Trump is imperfect like

309
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 7: all humans. What do you think we should be criticizing

310
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 7: him for?

311
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: Uh? Well, okay, just for a quick he used the

312
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: word crazy during his State of the Union address. Yes, no,

313
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: that's that's not intellectual.

314
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I think it's accurate. I actually think the Democrats are not.

315
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: So you and I are going to have a difference

316
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: of agreement, difference of opinion.

317
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: Rather, so you have a whole book.

318
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: That about how these people are delusional. It's called manufacturing delusion.

319
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: I highly recommend you get a New York Times bestseller.

320
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 7: Everybody, you're concerned that we're supporting Trump too much and

321
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 7: that's going to hurt Republicans.

322
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, Buck, I really like the concept of that title

323
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: of your book.

324
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: But have you got to read the book?

325
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: No, I really like.

326
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I know you like the concept. I'm saying, get yourself

327
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: a copy of the call back in we can talk

328
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: about this, because I think you'll see these Democrats are nuts,

329
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: my friend. I mean, you seem like a good American,

330
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: a good patriot. I'm telling you this is not your

331
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: daddy's DNC, this is not JFK's part of These people

332
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: are wackado's.

333
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: But you're being a little bit extremist too. The left, yeah,

334
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: criticizing great for being extremists, and the rate or criticized.

335
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 7: Thank you for I don't even understand what could be

336
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 7: called an extremist opinion from Donald Trump. And I'm not

337
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 7: even trying to be cocky in saying that I don't

338
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 7: even know what it is.

339
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: Gold, My friends, gold is good, gold is strong. Gold,

340
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,160

Speaker 1: joining us now.

357
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 7: The Chairman of the FCC, Brendan Carr, came on last week.

358
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 7: I believe to talk about the late night TV battle

359
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 7: and the fact I think you saw that. We'll start

360
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 7: there because the primary is Tuesday. It feels to me

361
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 7: like that was a clear attempt to help James Tallerico

362
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 7: in the battle against Jasmine Crockett, and that the media

363
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 7: was not smart enough to see what was going on

364
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 7: in the way that that played out. And I think

365
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 7: it's become even clearer since because tall Rico raised two

366
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: point four million dollars and the YouTube video got watched

367
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 7: way more than if he had just been a guest.

368
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 7: Nobody would have cared, nobody would have noticed. And unless

369
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 7: I'm wrong, Jasmine Crockett still hasn't gotten an invite yet

370
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 7: to appear on the Colbert Show.

371
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think you nailed it. Great to be

372
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 6: with you again.

373
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 10: This was a really interesting story where one Democrat candidate

374
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 10: tried to create a hoax to get clicks and views

375
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 10: and money over another Democrat candidate in the primary, and

376
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 10: so much of the traditional legacy media just played right

377
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 10: into it. They're more than happy to do it. What's interesting, though,

378
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 10: is there's now reporting that a number of TV stations

379
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 10: in Texas, not the CBS ones, but actually Disney affiliated

380
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 10: ones have filed equal time notices with the FCC, saying

381
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 10: that because of Tallerico's appearance on The View, which happened

382
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 10: a couple weeks ago, they're offering the opportunity for any

383
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 10: other legally qualified candidate, including the Crockett campaign, to reach

384
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 10: out and get comparable time and placement.

385
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: So we'll see if that happens.

386
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 10: But it's an interesting development that you've got Texas TV

387
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 10: station saying or appearing to say that, yeah, the View

388
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 10: is not bonifide news programming.

389
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 7: Well, and I want to build on that for a

390
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 7: sec because I know you're going to talk about a

391
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 7: new story that we're super fascinated about here too. But

392
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 7: the idea we've got a super competitive Texas primary we

393
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 7: started talking about that. It's on Tuesday, and we will

394
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 7: soon have anee on the Republican side Democrat side as

395
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 7: these primaries play out, would it be your suggestion contention

396
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 7: under equal time based on the way we have seen

397
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 7: these late night shows rig super left wing guests without

398
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 7: offering an opportunity for the other side that post primary,

399
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 7: the equal time doctrine could be in play for if

400
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 7: you're going to have on a Senate candidate. Let's say

401
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 7: from Texas, who's the Democrat nominee? To me, it's even

402
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 7: more incumbent than that. You should offer equal time to

403
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 7: the Republican candidate. Because I think what we'll see is

404
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 7: some of these shows Colbert and Kimmel certainly, where they

405
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 7: have a lot of these guys on for the midterms

406
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 7: on the Democrat side and don't give any opportunities at

407
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 7: all to Republicans.

408
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 10: I think that's exactly what we could see happen here.

409
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 10: So remember Congress passed this law. Wasn't it wasn't me,

410
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 10: it was Congress itself, and Congress was worried. They did

411
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 10: not want media gatekeepers to be able to put their

412
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 10: thumb on the scale for one candidate or one political party.

413
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 10: What they wanted was for individual voters to be able

414
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 10: to make their own mind up. And so if you're

415
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 10: not a bonafide news program and you have a legally

416
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 10: qualified candidate on, then you have to offer comparable time

417
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 10: and placement to all others, and that empowers individuals. It's

418
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 10: not a censorship provision, doesn't stop you from having anybody on,

419
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 10: and in fact, you don't even have to have the

420
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 10: other legally qualified candidate on. If Colbert has an issue

421
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 10: with Jasmine Crockett, he doesn't have to interview her, but

422
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 10: the TV stations do have to give her another legally

423
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 10: qualified candidate's equal time.

424
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 6: So the SSC has been clear we're going to start

425
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 6: insisting on this.

426
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 10: And there's programs out there like The View, like The

427
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 10: Late Show that simply have not made the case to

428
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 10: the FCC at this point that they qualify as a

429
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 10: bonafide news program. And again the key there is under

430
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 10: the SC's own test, are you motivated by partisan political

431
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 10: motivations or are you really more of a straight news

432
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 10: program that asks, you know, legitimate, hard hitting questions.

433
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: Commission, it's Buck, thanks for being here with us. I

434
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: have a question that certainly falls under your area, but

435
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a different direction. It has

436
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: to do with spectrum policy and expansion of the spectrum

437
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, essentially with things like satellite to

438
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: device connectivity. You know, Elon's got all these SpaceX satellites

439
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: up there now and people are able to get their Internet,

440
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, directly from satellites. This is increasingly common, even

441
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: something that we talk about in my little community here

442
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: in Florida as an option. What role does the FCC

443
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: play in streamlining assisting making sure that as these technologies

444
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: become more available basically free, not free, but you know,

445
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: super fast, super reliable internet everywhere, anywhere, anytime is a reality.

446
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: Because I feel like we're getting closer to that technologically,

447
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: the regulations obviously need to be kept up to that.

448
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 10: If this is one area in particular where I'm really

449
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 10: excited about what President Trump is accomplishing. You may recall

450
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 10: factor in the Biden years, Congress passed this forty two

451
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 10: billion dollar program to connect millions of Americans the Internet,

452
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 10: and not a single shovels worth a dirt was turned,

453
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 10: not a single home was connected. President Trump has come

454
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 10: in and fundamentally transformed that program, where we're going to

455
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 10: start to see shovels in the ground very quickly.

456
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: Here.

457
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 10: At the same time, as you noted, Trump has been

458
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 10: clear that we're going to get the airways out there

459
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 10: to power this new generation of low worth orbit satellites.

460
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 10: Starlink has this, Amazon's coming online with theirs, and so

461
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 10: we're heading in a great direction right now in terms

462
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 10: of more spectrum, increased connectivity, real competition.

463
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 6: It's a good time to be a consumer.

464
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 10: Prices right now are already down significantly year over year

465
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 10: because we're getting more spectrum out there and more competition.

466
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 7: Okay, let's go into something that's got me super fired up.

467
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 7: Whatever you think about me, I'm in the ninety ninth

468
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 7: percentile for sports viewing. I watch sports all the time.

469
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 7: I know you're a big sports fan too, and it's

470
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 7: not moving in a good direction. Put simply everybody out

471
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 7: there who's listening to us right now. In twenty ten,

472
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 7: it was easier, it feels like, to watch your favorite

473
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 7: team than it is in twenty twenty six, and the

474
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 7: cost to do so has been skyrocketing. The number of

475
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 7: streaming services, channels, everything else out there continues to grow.

476
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 7: The consumer is paying more and getting less. That seems

477
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 7: like a bad combination. What are you trying to do

478
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 7: now as it pertains to sports rights and looking into

479
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 7: this increased cost and not increased ability to consume product?

480
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 10: Well, for decades, Americans love to sit down, turn on

481
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 10: the TV and just quickly find the game they wanted

482
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 10: to watch, And in recent years it's gotten a lot

483
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 10: more complicated. People have to sign up for bespoke streaming services.

484
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 6: That can't find the game they want to want.

485
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 10: They're having to sign up for trials of one platform

486
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 10: just to get a playoff game, and they got to

487
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 10: remember to cancel it down the road.

488
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 6: And to your point, a lot of them are paying

489
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: more out of pocket, and that's a problem. It's a

490
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 6: real frustration.

491
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 10: There's a role for the SEC here too, though, because

492
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 10: as sports are broadcasts over the year on TV, that

493
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 10: helps drive advertiser to local broadcasters and that's what ends

494
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 10: up funding local news and local reporting. So we're exploring

495
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 10: this relationship between sports and broadcasts because a lot of

496
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 10: people don't know this, but many years ago, Congress passed

497
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 10: the law, the Sports Broadcasting Act, that created anti trust

498
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 10: exemptions for the sports leagues. And that law was passed

499
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 10: when all of the games, if you weren't there in person,

500
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 10: we're broadcast for free over the year, and so as

501
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 10: more and more games start to go behind paywalls, it.

502
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 6: Starts to tug.

503
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 10: It's under some of the underpinnings of that Sports Broadcasting Act.

504
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 10: I think people are right to start to ask questions

505
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 10: of do we have the right regulatory framework right now?

506
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 7: Okay, this is very specific, and I don't know how

507
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 7: much attention you're paying to this, But twenty twenty nine,

508
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 7: the NFL can opt out of its existing contracts. NFL

509
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 7: is the biggest sports league in America clearly in terms

510
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 7: of audience. Right now, the games air over the air

511
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 7: free in quotation marks, but on CBS, Nbcnfox, Right So

512
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 7: for a lot of people out there, they watch their

513
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 7: favorite local team on CBS, NBC and Fox. There is

514
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 7: some talk that the NFL may decide to leave CBS, Nbcnfox.

515
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 7: Do you believe the FCC has an interest in the

516
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 7: NFL airing on CBS, NBC and Fox. Would the NFL

517
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 7: if they just pulled out and said we're no longer

518
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 7: going to air on those networks? I don't know to

519
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 7: your point that broadcast television even can exist as a

520
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 7: viable business given how much money they make in an

521
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 7: audience they grow off of the NFL. Are you paying

522
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 7: it to to that? Is there a role given those

523
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 7: games on CBS, NBC, and Fox.

524
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is one of the most significant features of

525
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 10: broadcast TV right now. So much that local news and

526
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 10: local reporting works, and there's funding for it because that

527
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 10: great relationship between broadcasters in the NFL as that contract

528
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 10: comes due. If too many of those games start to

529
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 10: go behind the paywall, it's a problem on many fronts.

530
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 10: I think it's a problem for local news and for broadcasters.

531
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 10: I think it's a problem for consumers who will, I think,

532
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 10: continue to be frustrated with an inability to find the games.

533
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 10: And again, it starts to undermine some of the reasons

534
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 10: why we have that Sports Broadcasting Act. Now, there's some

535
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 10: good reasons that come from this as well. There are

536
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 10: more games that are available now, there is some upside,

537
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 10: but there's a real consumer frustration. So I hope that

538
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 10: the NFL ultimately finds the right balance where we still

539
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 10: get these free over there games. That helps grow the game.

540
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 10: It brings additional audience to it. I just don't think

541
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 10: it's a great thing if we see a critical mass

542
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 10: start to go behind all sorts of different pay walls.

543
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I mean, as a sports fan, if suddenly

544
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 7: CBSNBC and Fox don't have games, then you're demanding effectively

545
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 7: that everybody go subscribe, and it's not better for the consumer,

546
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 7: I wouldn't think. So there's a role in theory because

547
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 7: of where those games are. For the FCC and you're

548
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 7: working through on that angle.

549
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right, and we're working at all that.

550
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 10: I mean, the very first sports game ever to be broadcast,

551
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 10: but back I think the nineteen thirty nine World's Fair

552
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 10: in New York. It was a college baseball game, a

553
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 10: barnburner that was one two to one in ten innings.

554
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 10: In Americans have just had so much fun over the

555
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 10: years sitting down, grabbing a drink, bullet chips, watching the game,

556
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 10: and it's just become a frustrating experience. There's so much

557
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 10: in our lives right now that's frustrating that drives Americans apart.

558
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 10: I do want to see us continue to have games

559
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 10: on the air where lots of different Americans are being

560
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 10: brought together. I think it's been a great beneficial relationship

561
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 10: for sports leagues, four broadcasters, but really for the American people.

562
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: No doubt.

563
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 7: We appreciate the time FCC Commissioner Brendan car If people

564
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 7: are interested in this, what should they do to let

565
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 7: you know their perspectives.

566
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 10: The public notice that we just put up on the

567
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 10: stecy's website SEC dot gov. I posted it out on

568
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 10: X and people can file their comments in that proceeding

569
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 10: and we're going to take a look at it.

570
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: Awesome. We appreciate the time, sir, keep up the good work.

571
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you again soon.

572
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 6: Thanks much, appreciate it.

573
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 7: That's FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. A super interesting story there,

574
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 7: among many others. When we come back, we'll dive in

575
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 7: a little bit into this who's gonna buy Warner Brothers discussion,

Speaker 7: reactions even in New Jersey. They're fired up with how

579
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 7: crazy people have gotten in sports media.

Speaker 2: Buck.

582
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: the Hillary testimony from a mister Benny Johnson himself. He's

583
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: saying he's crying foul over their cries of foul.

Speaker 7: for you. Something that went megaviral and we talked about

609
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 7: on the program police officers being pelted by bystanders during

610
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 7: this big snowstorm in New York City. They shared photos

611
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 7: of the individuals that they were seeking to arrest this morning.

612
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 7: According to the NYPD, they arrested a man named Guzman Kolabali.

613
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 7: That's my best guest, twenty seven years old. So they

614
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 7: tried to say, oh, these were just kids, twenty seven

615
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 7: year old for assaulting officers. He was one of the

616
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 7: guys who had one of the big It wasn't even

617
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 7: a snowball, It's like an ice boulder almost. And we

618
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 7: said on the program, hey, are I saying I would

619
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 7: bet a ton of money that whoever these guys were,

620
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 7: that they had criminal charge.

621
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: This wasn't a just you know, I love when you

622
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: make a long, long shot call. This was this was

623
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: a ten to one in your favorite buddy. Yeah.

624
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 7: So the guy was arrested, and what do you think

625
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 7: he had? Of course, a previous arrest record. Less than

626
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 7: three weeks ago, he was arrested for attempted robbery on

627
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 7: the transit system. Again, if you are the kind of

628
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 7: person to see a police officer and think I want

629
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 7: to pelt these officers with snowballs and continue to do so,

630
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 7: then you are the kind of person who likely has

631
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 7: engaged in criminal behavior in the past. But again, NYPD

632
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 7: has officially arrested this guy. Now we'll see how soon

633
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 7: Mom Donnie lets him out and whether there is any

634
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 7: any actual process here. But again, twenty seven they I's

635
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 7: tried to say, we played this cut mayor. Mom Donnie said, oh,

636
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 7: these are just little kids in a snowball fight. Twenty

637
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 7: seven year old who had been arrested for armed robbery

638
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 7: probably shouldn't have been out on the street anyway, and

639
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 7: he has now been arrested. So I hope Mam Donnie

640
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 7: will speak out and say, you know, I didn't handle

641
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 7: this as well as I could have, but I doubt

642
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 7: that he will. There are reports, however, that Mom Donnie

643
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 7: is meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office today,

644
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 7: so there is a possibility that he could be asked

645
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 7: about this arrest, because I would imagine buck that the

646
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 7: President and Mam Donnie might have another one of those

647
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 7: joint press conferences. Reports that the two of them are

648
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 7: going to work on trying to build more housing in

649
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 7: New York City, which would theoretically bring down the overall

650
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 7: cost of rent and and other aspects associated with residential

651
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 7: cost there, so that new US is out there as

652
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 7: we get ready to go into the third hour.

653
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: Here, look, bringing down the cost of building residential units,

654
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: because that's really you're not really talking so much about

655
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: single family home in New York. You're gonna be talking

656
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: about apartment complexes. Bringing down that cost would be a

657
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: remarkably wise thing to do. The cost play in specifically

658
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: New York State, or I should say New York City,

659
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: and then across the whole state of California, the additional

660
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: costs of building places to live that have nothing to

661
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: do with lumber, contract work, like just the environmental crap,

662
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: the regulatory nonsense, the tax burden, all this it is astronomical, Yes, astronomical.

663
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: And what people say is they go, oh, well, well the

664
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: rents are so high. It's a market. The rents are

665
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: high because they're supply and demand and people want to.

666
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Live in these places.

667
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they have such zoning restrictions that they will

668
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 7: not allow additional housing to be created, artificial scarcity and demand.

669
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 7: It's just supply demand. I mean, we're not reinventing the

670
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 7: wheel here. And remember when they criticized Jade Vance when

671
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 7: he said, hey, you know, if we had fewer illegal immigrants,

672
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 7: it would mean costs would come down for overall rent.

673
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 7: Guess what costs in many different places are starting to

674
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 7: come down.

675
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: When we come back.

676
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 7: New Jersey stood up and said, stop picking on the

677
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 7: US men's hockey team gold medalists.

678
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: We've got some fun reaction to that.

679
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 7: Also, can we get the audio pulled of Kamala Harris

680
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 7: saying she might be running? Does Buck want to go

681
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 7: ahead and relent and admit that, yet again I have

682
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 7: won another steak.

683
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: We will discuss third hour rolling in next
