1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Klay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: Third hour. 4 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 3: Clay and Buck kicks off right now, everybody, and we 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 3: have a lot to get to here. You've got the 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 3: GOP considering the possibility of impeaching Joe Biden, some already 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 3: some back and forth over that one among members of Congress. 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 3: You also have Devin Archer testifying today about his business 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 3: dealings with Hunter and Joe Biden involved in all of this. 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 3: And that's I think really something that they've tried so 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 3: hard to avoid the public from figuring out, which is 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden was very much a part of the 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: Hunter scam. That's right, the sitting President of the United States, 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 3: can I just can just put this out there, Clady, 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: you see this. This is Representative Daniel Goldmanten. It's cut 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 3: thirty one saying, of course, Clay, Joe Biden was talking 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: to Hunter's business associates. Obviously play it. 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 4: The President stamus in that he never talked to any 19 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 4: of hunter Body business associates. Clearly he talked whether or 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 4: about the weather or whatever, but he said specifically that 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 4: he's never talked to them. 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Does that contradiction? 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 5: I don't know what his comment is, and if we're gonna, well, 24 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 5: I don't think that's what he said. He never said 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 5: that he has never spoken to anyone. He said that 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 5: he had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings. 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 5: If he says hello to someone that he sees his 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 5: son with, as he's supposed to say, Hi, son, oh no, 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say hello to the other people at 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 5: the table or the other people on the phone. It's 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 5: kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 5: should not say hello to people that the son has 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 5: at dinner with. And that is literally all the evidence is. 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: Okay, Clay, I mean, this is this is I mean 35 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 3: that depends on what the meaning of is is. 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: This is over lawyering. 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: This is a desperate attempt to avoid what is the 38 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: fundamental and obvious conclusion Joe Biden is a liar, and 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was in on it. 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 6: He said, specifically, Buck, I've never spoken to any of 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 6: Hunter's business associates. That is pretty transparent, straightforward and categorical. 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 6: And now they're shifting the argument. And this is not 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 6: unexpected because Karine Jean Pierre said, oh, he's never talked 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 6: with Hunter about business, with his family about business. 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: Look, this is all lie. 46 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 6: Joe Biden was neck deep in Hunter Biden's business dealings. 47 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 6: The only reason Hunter Biden had any business at all 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 6: was Joe Biden. I mean, these Chinese and Ukrainian interests 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 6: are not stupid buck, And I've said this on the 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 6: show before, but if we if if Chairman Z had 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 6: a crackhead son that United States interest could pay a 52 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: couple million dollars to and know everything that was going 53 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 6: on inside of the inner reaches of the Chinese government 54 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 6: and to have someone to advocate for United States interest, 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 6: it would be the greatest intelligence coup of the twenty 56 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 6: first century. You worked in the CIA, if you could 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 6: have been involved in the crackhead son of Chairman Z, 58 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 6: that America somehow set up payments to him for a 59 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 6: couple million dollars and as a result, we had the 60 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 6: ability to influence the decisions that China was making in 61 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 6: a way that was beneficial to the United States. Every 62 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 6: single one of us listening right now would say that's 63 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 6: the intelligence coup of the twenty first century. Would you 64 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 6: love to have been a CIA analyst able to put 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 6: together that kind of intelligence gathering operation for the cost 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 6: of a couple million dollars. 67 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: Oh that's career making, not just for let's say a 68 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: case officer who'd be running that kind of an asset, 69 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: but for the head. 70 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: Of the agency at the time. 71 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: That level of access to a foreign adversary, if you 72 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: could actually get that, would be absolutely tremendous. And I 73 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: do think we can all discount the likelihood that Hunter 74 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: Biden was being paid for his market advice when it 75 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: comes to foreign natural gas, making home videos, and perhaps 76 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: how to set up your own chemistry set. I mean, 77 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: we know what his skill set is, and it is 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: not something that is worth the millions and millions of 79 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: dollars have given him, So this couldn't be more obvious. 80 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 3: But I do think that everyone needs to prepare themselves 81 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: for the reality that the Democrats. I don't think that 82 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: because a Democrat is in charge Joe Biden, because there 83 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 3: will not be charges against Joe Biden himself, they justify 84 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: anything that comes out under the well, Joe Biden hasn't 85 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: been charged. Donald Trump has been charged so many times. 86 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: I can just already see that's where this will eventually go. 87 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 3: Because they've had to walk back the defense, so many steps. Also, 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to address something else, Clay, because you know, 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: we had the caller just now, and I think was 90 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 3: we were trying to always represent this by the data 91 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: as accurately as we can. I think that this audience 92 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: is as good as an example of the GOP base 93 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: as you could find on any program anywhere, at any medium. 94 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: Right. 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: You know, it says. 96 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: Large sample size, and we've got people from all fifty 97 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: states who are listening, and so that gives us a 98 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: good sense of where people stand. About half the audience, 99 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: by the numbers, is all in for Trump. About half 100 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 3: the audience is not. And so when we talk about 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 3: these issues, like I brought up to Santis before, when 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: we're discussing the positives and negatives of different candidates or campaigns, 103 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: we're not endorsing and Ron DeSantis is a phenomenal governor 104 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: of Florida. That doesn't change. That's not something that the 105 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: polls are going to. This is about who the best 106 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: president of the United States will be for the GOP 107 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 3: and for the country going forward. And so we're looking 108 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: at what the voice of the base is at this 109 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: point in time and trying to analyze it. But Basically, 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 3: what I'm saying is if someone's looking for oh, well, 111 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: you know, are you are you going to push for 112 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: this person or that We're not trying to push. We're 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: just trying to analyze, assess, and look at the data 114 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: for what it is. And so that's why I guess 115 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 3: what he says, you say is the best on COVID, 116 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: he was the best governor on COVID. And to the 117 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: point about attack ads that say that that's not true, 118 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: I disagree with those attack ads. I don't think that. 119 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: But this is politics, and people are allowed to. 120 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: Have different different approaches to how they're going to assess 121 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: someone's tenure in any role. So that's just I didn't 122 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: want to leave that all hanging at the end of 123 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 3: the last hour. 124 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 6: Look, you can simultaneously believe that Ron DeSantis would be 125 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 6: a really good president, and that Donald Trump would be 126 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 6: a really good president, and that Vivik Ramaswami would be 127 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 6: a really good president. I actually think and by the way, 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 6: Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or whoever your chosen candidate is, 129 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 6: this group of Republicans, all of them would be overwhelmingly 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 6: better than Joe Biden. The point we're making is the 131 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 6: big story today, I would say double barreled. 132 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: Here. 133 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 6: New York Times they say that Donald Trump has opened 134 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: a thirty seven point lead. No one has ever overcome 135 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 6: in fifty years of data, a lead of more than 136 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 6: twenty points, no nationwide since they started polling over fifty 137 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 6: years ago. So if Ron DeSantis or anybody else were 138 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 6: to catch and overtake Trump, it would be the biggest 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 6: upset given where we're sitting right now in modern presidential 140 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 6: political history. And simultaneous to that release of the poll 141 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 6: from the New York Times, also CNN finally acknowledged what 142 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 6: we've been saying for a long time, which is Trump 143 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 6: is in a stronger position right now, even with the 144 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: double indictments, and even with potentially a couple of more 145 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 6: indictments coming, than he ever was in the twenty sixteen 146 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 6: campaign that he won against Hillery, and that he ever 147 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 6: was in twenty twenty campaign against Joe Biden. And we've 148 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 6: been saying this on the program for a while. Remember 149 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 6: Trump never led in any poll that was out there 150 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty, and he virtually never led in any 151 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 6: poll that was out there in twenty sixteen. He's leading 152 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 6: in some of the polls that are coming out right now. 153 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 6: Now we are still, what's the math, five and a 154 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 6: half months away from voting in Iowa. Occurring A lot 155 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 6: can happen in five and a half months. Maybe there's 156 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 6: going to be an upset in Iowa as there has 157 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 6: been in the past. We'll see, Really to me, Buck, 158 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 6: the race officially begins for much of the public on 159 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 6: August twenty third, in the first Republican primary now Republican debate. 160 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 6: There's going to be one in September, There's going to 161 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 6: be one in October. But I thought I'll just give 162 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 6: people a clarity. I was saying this to somebody who's 163 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 6: in the Trump administration that I saw down here at 164 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 6: the Atlanta Braves game on the weekend. We were having 165 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 6: a conversation. I said, I thought that it was going 166 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 6: to be far more competitive right now than it is. 167 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you. I thought that we were 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 6: going to have, in my favorite word, a real Donnybrook 169 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 6: in the Republican primary. So far, it does not appear 170 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 6: that there's really going to be a battle at all. 171 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 6: Maybe that changes, but tomorrow's August first. Every day every 172 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 6: week that passes, where this thing is not getting tighter 173 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 6: makes it feel like more of a foregone conclusion. 174 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: Well, also, the polls were showing that it was going 175 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: to be closer in December, January, February, so there was 176 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: a moment there where there was consideration, a greater consideration 177 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: among the GOP base of alternative options to another Trump 178 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: presidency or another Trump run I should say at the 179 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: presidency because it's on the primary side. But that shifted, 180 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 3: that changed, and so here we are now seeing a 181 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: massive movement of really a consolidation of support for Donald Trump. 182 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: I think it is clearly tied to the efforts to 183 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: destroy him. I think that there are people for whom, 184 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: at just a gut maybe instinctual level, the attack on 185 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and the usage of the law to destroy him. 186 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: If this succeeds, what really is left. I think a 187 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: lot of people feel that, meaning, if they're allowed to 188 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: destroy Trump in this way, what are we thinking the 189 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: system even can produce going forward? I think I see 190 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: those sentiments. I hear that from people or read it 191 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: from people who are writing in. But I will also 192 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: remind everybody that you know, when we sit here and 193 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: talk about the great thing on our side, as you 194 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: look at some of these people who are running. They're 195 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: really impressive and they've done really good things either personally, 196 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 3: professionally out there in the private sector or for their 197 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: respective states. I mean, a lot of these candidates are 198 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 3: phenomenal people, you know, really impressive, and so I also 199 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: think it's worth noting that for the top let's say, 200 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: the top tier of GOP candidates, they agree with the 201 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: people in this audience on policy and about the country 202 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: and about their love of the country on I don't know, 203 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: ninety percent of issues, ninety five percent of issues. 204 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: So you're allowed to have. 205 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: A preference without despising the alternative on your own team, 206 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: and I think that gets a little loss sometimes in 207 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 3: these really aggressive primaries and the way people are thinking 208 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 3: about this. You know, we have a bunch of great 209 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: governors on the Republican side who are doing a phenomenal job. 210 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: We have people in this race who I think have 211 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: shown you know, obviously Vivik, but you know, Tim Scott 212 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: has a really inspiring story for people, and as somebody 213 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: who you know ultimately is a good man who wants 214 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 3: good things for the country. I might be pushing a 215 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: little bit here, but I can say this Nicki Haley 216 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: would be way better than Joe Biden. She's not going 217 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: to be president. We all know that, but I'm just 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: saying I think it's worth keeping this now. Maybe some 219 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: people disagree with that, but I think it's fair to 220 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 3: say that Nicki Haley would be way better than Joe Biden. 221 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 6: So I think that's a hundred percent tury, and I 222 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 6: think again we will see five and a half months out, 223 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 6: but I do think it's important. Remember was it like 224 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 6: two weeks ago, Buck when I when I came on 225 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 6: the show and I said, I feel like this is over, 226 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 6: and yes. 227 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: You said it was over. Yeah, I remember two weeks ago. 228 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 6: I came on and I said, looking at the data, 229 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 6: I feel like this thing is over. 230 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: And I think you were like, wait, you're calling it. 231 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 6: You're great, And now we're I think it was two 232 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 6: weeks ago, so people check the transcripts. Now we're two 233 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 6: weeks since then, and the New York Times is basically 234 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 6: coming out and saying, hey, this is over. 235 00:12:59,640 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: Now. 236 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 6: The good thing is if you are a supporter of 237 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 6: the fifty percent that is not Trump, your candidate gets 238 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 6: an opportunity to still make the case. The challenge is 239 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 6: this Buck, when I shared with you all of the 240 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 6: fact that Trump is winning on every side of every 241 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 6: angle and that how. 242 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: Do you attack him. 243 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: Well, his support is not fundamentally due to grading each 244 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: individual policy, and that's really what this comes from. 245 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 6: So it's super hard to beat him on a policy 246 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 6: level when most Trump supporters are not focused on the 247 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 6: granular Oh he believes this on abortion, or he believes this. 248 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 6: They are with him on a visceral emotional level. So 249 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 6: how do you erase a thirty seven point lead? And 250 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 6: by the way, DeSantis is the only one within thirty seven. 251 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: Every other candidate, Buck is fifty. 252 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 6: Points behind because then to me, to me, the lesson 253 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: of that New York Times poll is nobody else is 254 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 6: above three percent. So like people are picking on desantisitting 255 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 6: it's seventeen, Trump has a fifty plus point lead on 256 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 6: every other candidate that's announced so far. That's cristy, I know. 257 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 3: I don't think anybody anticipated that's exactly where where it 258 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: would be. 259 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: And it has. 260 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: Been a little bare knuckle from the Trump campaign on 261 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: some of this stuff. That's also true. I think the 262 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: caller the last hours pointing that out. But to the 263 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: Trump supporters, you know, what they're saying. What do you 264 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: think you're going to be up against with Joe Biden? 265 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: What do you think the Democrats not only will lie 266 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: about you, they'll throw you in prison. So crying foul 267 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: to the referees. Unfortunately, it's not going to work in 268 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 3: any context. And it's just up to you know, winning 269 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: is winning, But what isn't it? 270 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: Also Yogi berra? It ain't over till it's over? 271 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: Is that him? 272 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: Or is he? 273 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: The fact? That's yogi berra too. Yeah, so that's where 274 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: we are here, folks. Bring out Yogi berra. Look at 275 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: some look at some of the wisdom therein. 276 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: You know, there's a phrase that often applies to each 277 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: of us when when the going gets tough, the tough 278 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: gets going. 279 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: It's actually in this read I don't even know if 280 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: that's yogi bara. 281 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: It means when a situation becomes difficult, strong people are 282 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: able to step up and handle it. Having strengthened stamina 283 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: in tough times is obviously crucial.

We're talking 303 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 6: about Joe Biden, potentially the revelations that could come out 304 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 6: of the Devin Archer testimony, which reportedly the transcript is 305 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: going to be released now this week but on Friday. 306 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 6: Buck during the weekend rush with people magazine, Joe Biden 307 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 6: finally acknowledged that he does, in fact have a seventh grandchild, 308 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 6: Hunter Biden's illegitimate daughter in Arkansas, a four year old. 309 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 6: Here is NBC reporting, Oh yeah, they finally did acknowledge it. 310 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 7: President or Friday publicly acknowledged for the first time his 311 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 7: four year old grandchild, Navy Joan Roberts, who is the 312 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 7: daughter of his son Hunter. In a statement first apported 313 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 7: by a People magazine that was obtained by NBC News, 314 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 7: Biden said he and the First Lady wanted the best 315 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 7: for all of their grandchildren, including Navy. It follows criticism 316 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 7: from Republican White House hopefuls over the President not counting 317 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 7: Navy among his seven grandchildren in public remarks. Hunter Biden 318 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 7: last month settled a paternity case over the child, after 319 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 7: previously denying that he was the father. 320 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 6: People magazine buck on Friday, I mean, how much of 321 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 6: a running for cover move was this? 322 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 3: It's a running for cover move, but I think it's 323 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 3: also remember the ultimate Biden fallback for a long time 324 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: is always sympathy. 325 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: Sympathy for Joe, sympathy. 326 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: For his family. That's why he thought he'd be able 327 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: to get away with stealing or taking, I should say 328 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: millions of dollars for the Biden crime family from all 329 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: over the world, because you know he's Joe. Got to 330 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: be sympathetic to his plight. 331 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 6: We should play Scott Jennings before the show's out going 332 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 6: on CNN and absolutely obliterating that argument on CNN for 333 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 6: that audience. But first, companies like Puretalk who operate with 334 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 6: a customer first mentality need to be champion.

But we also 362 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 3: want to give as much as we can. Have conversations 363 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: you to deal with, how to live the good life, 364 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: how to do the right things, how to feel good 365 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 3: in your day today. Tell us about how you can 366 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 3: achieve that and what you're getting at in this book. 367 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: Well, I'm basically arguing that, Look, there's about fifty percent 368 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: of our differences and happiness scores come from our genes, 369 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: meaning some of us have a sunny disposition, some of 370 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: us have a less sunny disposi position. But the good 371 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: news is that it still leaves fifty percent up for 372 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: a grab. So there are certain choices that you can 373 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 2: make in life, certain mindsets that you can adopt that 374 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: either increase your likelihood of happiness or of misery. And 375 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: so that's what the book is about. What are some 376 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 2: of these secrets? 377 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: Okay? So yeah, exactly what are some Okay? 378 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's start with the two most fundamental 379 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: decisions that will either impart great happiness or great misery 380 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: upon you, choosing the right life partner and the ideal job. 381 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 2: I can speak briefly on each if you like. The 382 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: right life partner and evolutionary psychology, there are two opposing maxims. 383 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: One is the opposites attract maxim or the birds of 384 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: a feather flock together maxim well. For short term sexual encounter, 385 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 2: opposites attract works perfectly well. I may be sexually restrained, 386 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 2: I may be introverted. You may be the exact opposites, 387 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: and hence opposites might attract. But for long term stability 388 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: of a romantic and the research is overwhelmingly clear that 389 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: it's birds of a feather flock together. And what do 390 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: we mean by birds of a feather flocking on witch feathers? 391 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 4: Well? 392 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: It's sharing the same life goals, shame, same belief systems, 393 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: same values. You increase your chances tremendously if you find 394 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: someone with whom to assort on these values. 395 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: All right, what about jobs? 396 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 6: So many people out there are constantly seeking affirmation, seeking 397 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 6: happiness through what they do for a living. 398 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: What does the data show us on this? What would 399 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: you encourage. 400 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 6: Let's say we got seventeen eighteen twenty year olds listening 401 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 6: right now, trying to figure out what direction to go 402 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 6: with their career. What would you say the data suggest 403 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 6: is the pathway to fulfilling and happiness in that respect? 404 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? Great, great question, Thank you. I argue there are 405 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 2: two fundamental things that you should try to achieve in 406 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: terms of your ideal job, if possible. Of course, I 407 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: realize people may have, you know, pragmatic constraints, But if possible. 408 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: Number one, any job that allows you to instantiate your 409 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: creative impulse. You could be a chef, you could be 410 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: an architect. You could be a podcaster, a stand up comic, 411 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: an author, professor. All of these jobs, while very different, 412 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: share one thing in common. They create new content, new material, 413 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: and the process of being immersed in the creative process 414 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: really is is a direct pathway to purpose and meaning. 415 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: The second metric that I would recommend in terms of 416 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 2: finding an ideal job is something that gives you temporal freedom. So, 417 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: and that's a fancy way of saying that gives me 418 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 2: freedom to sort of navigate through my day without being 419 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: consistently constrained by someone else's schedule. So I may work 420 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: very hard, gentlemen, but it's really on my own time. 421 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: I could work the four in the morning on my 422 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: next paper or my next book, and then wake up 423 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: at ten and then go off to a cafe. To 424 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: contrast that to someone who is bound by you know, 425 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: union rules as to when they can take a bathroom break. 426 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 2: All other things equal, creative and pulse temporal freedom is 427 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: a sure way to being happy. If I can just 428 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: add one quick other thing. In one of the last chapters, 429 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 2: I talk about anticipatory regret, So try to make decisions 430 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 2: that will anticipate you not succumbing to future regrets. So 431 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: as relating to a job, many people at the end 432 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: of their life will say, I really regret that I 433 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: never pursued my interest in the arts. I became a 434 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: pediatrician because my dad and his dad were pediatricians, and 435 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: so you really have to be mindful of that. I 436 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 2: understand that people have constraints, they have to put food 437 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 2: on the table. But if you can find something that 438 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: will minimize anticipatory regret in the future, you're on your 439 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: way to being happy. 440 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: We're speaking of God sad. He has a book, The 441 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: Sad Truth about Happiness. We're talking about it right now. 442 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: You know, you say in the book you get into resilience. 443 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 3: I've learned the older I get God, the more it 444 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: feels like resilience and persistence get you ninety percent of 445 00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: where you want to be. 446 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: All one hundred percent. Look, when I'm working on this book, right, 447 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: I mean, of course, you have to have talent to 448 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 2: tell a story to you know, do the research on, 449 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: you know, the material that you're writing about. But the 450 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: discipline that is required to wake up every day doesn't 451 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: matter if I'm teaching classes that day, it doesn't matter. 452 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: If I'm having trouble with my children at home, it 453 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if I have bronchitis. I have to head 454 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: off and write five hundred words a day, no matter what, 455 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 2: rainy sunny, doesn't matter. If I don't do that, I 456 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: could never meet the strict deadline that my publisher has imposed. 457 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: I ran a few marathons when I was younger. I mean, 458 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: it's not about physical shape when you're running a marathon. 459 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: It's when you hit the wall around the thirty eight 460 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: kilometer mark, are you able to take another step? Everything 461 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: in your body is saying no, But yet one step, 462 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: another step, and another step, and suddenly you finish the marathon. 463 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: So there's nothing you can do in life that that 464 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 2: is substantive, that doesn't require this anti fragility mindset. 465 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 6: What about social media? What does it show you in 466 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 6: terms of happiness? So many people spending a lot of 467 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 6: time on Instagram, TikTok at Twitter, they all have different 468 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 6: cultures Facebook. What does that reflect about happiness? Is it 469 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 6: a pathway to unhappiness? Is it something that you have 470 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 6: to watch? Is it something that leads to more happiness 471 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 6: based on your data? 472 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: What have you seen? 473 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 5: Yeah? 474 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: Great question. I mean it really depends on how you 475 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: interact with social media. If you use it, say in 476 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: my case, because of my job, I have to spread 477 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: ideas that have to connect with people. Well, then if 478 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: you do it for that, then it can bring you 479 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: great Richard On the other hand, if you use it 480 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: to constantly compare your lock and life to others, well, 481 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: you know they have a nicer card, their marriage seems 482 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: better than mine, they seem to have better put together children. 483 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: Then that's why you end up with depression when you 484 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 2: navigate with social media, because everybody is curating the best 485 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: aspects of their life. They're not showing you the bad parts, 486 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 2: and so you start underestimating how good your life is. 487 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: And you think everybody has this magical life, and that 488 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: can make you feel bad. So use social media to 489 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: connect with others, drop the rest, and hopefully you'll be happier. 490 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: One more for you. God, you know, I'm getting a 491 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 3: dog with my wife this fall. You have something about 492 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: that that really stuck out to me in the book 493 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: about you know, taking a tip from your dog about 494 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: happiness in life. 495 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you know what? I think that probably 496 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 2: getting a dog is better than being put on any 497 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: antidepression medication. I mean, I'm being a bit facetious, but 498 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 2: look what, why do we share so much with dogs? 499 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: Because we both have an innate and desperate desire to play, 500 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: We're both social species, we both wish to be immersed 501 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 2: in play That's why I have a whole chapter on 502 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: life as a playground. So I'm really delighted to hear 503 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: that you're getting a dog. Believe me, as someone who's 504 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 2: had many Belgian shepherds, life without a dog is berest 505 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: of meaning. 506 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 6: Speaking of that, there's different data I've seen on kids, 507 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 6: especially when kids are young. Stresses on parents are a 508 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 6: lot higher. I'm curious what the data reflects on parenting, grandparenting, 509 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 6: and how children factor in to happiness based on what 510 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 6: you've seen. 511 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: Look, the research is mixed. I mean, some people say 512 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: that having children offers you a bit of a hit 513 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: of happiness. Others say the opposites. So the research is 514 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: not completely unequivocal there. But I'll answer in a more 515 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: philosophical way. I argue that your pathway to immortality really 516 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 2: operates through two pathways. Number One, I could have genetic immortality, 517 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: and I can only have that by having children. When 518 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: I have children, I literally am propagating my genes, at 519 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: least half of my gens to each of my children. 520 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 2: The other way that I can achieve immortality is through 521 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: what's called mimetic immortality. Right, the books that I write 522 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: hopefully are read by others. They now I'm infecting their 523 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: brains with my idea, and so from my perspective, existentially, 524 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: life is somewhat poorer if you don't have children that 525 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: can hopefully take care of you when you're older. So yes, 526 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 2: get children, hopefully that will make you happier. 527 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 3: The sad truth about happiness. God sad is the author. 528 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 3: God always good to have you all, man, thank. 529 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 2: You, thank you so much, guys, cheers. 530 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 3: Some folks in the know think that we're going to 531 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 3: hear an announcement from our federal government related to a 532 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 3: change in our nation's currency system. According to former Wall 533 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 3: Street insider Tika Tiwari, the government may well announce a 534 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: national recall in the US dollar in favor of a 535 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: new digital version. Hard to imagine the logistics of that, 536 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: but given our societies drive toward a cashless economy, it 537 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: could well happen. This former Wall Street insider and now publisher, 538 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 3: Tika is warning us that the official announcement could come 539 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: in the next few months. He's exposing this government plan 540 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: and a video. 541 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 6: Book Sexton Show encourage to get your video war because 542 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 6: the official underway and Democrats don running dot com paid 543 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 6: for you to get transcripts, but their. 544 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: Part of the show missed. Anyway, there is going to 545 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: be a to get access to the question as how 546 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: much in. 547 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 6: Front of New York Times, from the Washington Post, from NBC, CBS, ABC, 548 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 6: because a lot of those people out there, Buck, still 549 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 6: have no understanding of exactly how corrupt the Bidens are. 550 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 6: But I will say this, I wanted to play this 551 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 6: cut because Scott Jennings went on CNN and we talked 552 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 6: about the fact that on Friday, out of nowhere, Hunter 553 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 6: Biden suddenly after four years, Joe Biden acknowledged that he 554 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 6: had a seventh grandchild. Remember Buck, we talked about this 555 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 6: on the program. They didn't a stocking for her over 556 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 6: the family fireplace in the White House. They have denied 557 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 6: her existence, they fought her ability to use the Biden 558 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 6: name at all. And I would imagine this landed for 559 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 6: those small number of people who actually watch CNN. Oh wait, 560 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 6: this Grandpa Joe narrative, this Joe Biden family man is 561 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 6: actually starting to crumble. And hear what Scott Jennings throwing 562 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 6: some punches that even in CNN they couldn't ignore anymore. 563 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 4: It's not Republicans, with all due respect, who made Hunter 564 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 4: Biden into a complete scumbag on this and other issues, 565 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 4: the ignoring his own daughter for four years and the 566 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: President United States hanging up a stocking for the dog, 567 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 4: I mean, not for his seventh grandchild. 568 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 8: Hey, look, we can also have sympathy for people who 569 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 8: are struggling with addiction. 570 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: Let's keep this conversation response. I listen, I totally agree. 571 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 4: And you know where I'm from, a lot of families 572 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 4: deal with addiction, and you know who ends up picking 573 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 4: up the pieces, the grandparents, And in this case, the 574 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 4: grandparents would not acknowledge this little girl. It is offensive, 575 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: But the bottom line is the pole. 576 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: Oh what a hero. 577 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 4: The polling must have been brutal, been brutal. 578 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 3: Notice the little the CNN anchor there just you know, 579 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: just just jumping in to make sure the narrative is 580 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 3: shaped away from what the I mean, the guys are 581 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 3: Republican at CNN. I didn't know there are any left. 582 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 3: It's like finding an you know, you thought a species 583 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: was extinct and then you find one. You know, he's 584 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 3: there making the case. But Clay, she uses the term sympathy, 585 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 3: which I thought was pretty funny, because what did I 586 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: say before, that's always the fallback. Oh, have sympathy for 587 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: the Bidens in their plight. I'm sorry, Do the Democrats 588 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: have any sympathy for the mar A Lago like low 589 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: level employees, you know, I mean lowers hierarchy. No sympathy 590 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: they have any sympathy for the people that have been 591 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: destroyed by the deep state machinery, whether it's pro life 592 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: activists or you know, go down the list, anybody in 593 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 3: Trump orbits that they've ruined and tried to bankrupt. 594 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: Oh, the sympathy is very selective here, isn't it. 595 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 3: Sympathy for Joe Biden and the trials and tribulations of 596 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 3: his family. 597 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: It's it's very clear what's going on. 598 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: I will say, though, my concern is the timing of this, 599 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 3: and it's in a couple of different ways. One is 600 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 3: the recognition of the of the grandchild, the out of 601 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 3: wedlock grandchild coming at this time. I think they're trying 602 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 3: to play up the sympathy card big time right now, 603 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 3: because that's always the Biden fallback, right, and so that's 604 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: a part of it. And then beyond that, there's clay. 605 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 3: They're getting this all out of the way in late 606 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 3: summer twenty twenty three. Is anyone going to care next summer? 607 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: Is anyone going to care next fall? That's what really matters, 608 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: And that's my concern here, is that in a sense, 609 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 3: the media, Oh, all of a sudden, the damn is breaking, 610 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, everyone's talking about this. Unless this 611 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 3: results in Joe Biden being forced out what you've thought 612 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 3: was possible all along, I've thought probably not. I've said 613 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 3: he's staying in unless that happens. The timing of all 614 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: this is pretty fortuitous for Biden twenty twenty four. 615 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 2: That's how I see it. 616 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think this is one of the big 617 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 6: calculations that the House Republicans are going to have to 618 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 6: make if they decide that impeachment is the pathway that 619 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 6: they should follow. I think you probably impeach in twenty 620 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 6: twenty four, after the first of the year, in January 621 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 6: or February. You can continue the inquiry throughout the fall, 622 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 6: and then at least it's a four or five month process. Now, Buck, 623 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 6: I've said from the get go, and I'll stand by this. 624 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 6: If Joe Biden were to announce that he's not running, 625 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 6: he has to do it. In time to allow there 626 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 6: to be a primary process unless and this would truly 627 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 6: be crazy, and I don't think Republicans could get this 628 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 6: lucky unless Joe Biden announced he wasn't running so late 629 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 6: buck that all the choice to do out there was 630 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 6: Kamala Harris. And I just don't think he would do 631 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 6: that because I don't think she's been a good enough VP, 632 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 6: or even necessarily a loyal enough VP that he would 633 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 6: forestall everybody else from being able to run, which is 634 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 6: what would happen if he stepped down let's say next 635 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 6: year in April or May, after the primary seasons effectively 636 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 6: over then at hands or you know, sometime in the 637 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 6: summer or something like that. So if he's going to 638 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 6: step down and we're going to have a primary process, 639 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 6: I think he'd need to be stepped down. And by 640 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 6: step down, I don't mean leave office. I mean say 641 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 6: I'm not running again, Because I don't think he's going 642 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 6: to resign or leave offs. 643 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 3: It would have to happen logistically by December. If he 644 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 3: doesn't do it by December, you're mean now you're talking 645 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 3: about it's just not logistically possible to replace him. So 646 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 3: we only have a few months here, in which that's 647 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 3: a serious consideration at all. But did you see what 648 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 3: I'm saying about the timing of this. Yeah, no, it's coming. 649 00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 2: You know. 650 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 3: I think it's interesting they're letting it fly now, and 651 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 3: I think the Republican's doing the right thing and getting 652 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 3: this out there. But remember next, think forward to twelve 653 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 3: months from now, really more importantly, fourteen months from now, 654 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 3: when you're in the height of the actual general election. 655 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 3: Trump will be sitting there with god knows how many 656 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 3: indictments hanging over his head from these lunatic Democrats, and 657 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 3: we're going to be saying, but they should have charged Hunter, 658 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 3: and Biden's a criminal, Joe's a criminal. That's how they 659 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 3: see this plan out. 660 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 6: Let's close out really quick here buck preview for tomorrow. 661 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 6: Here is what's being reported about Devon Archer. We're going 662 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 6: to be all in on this. 663 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 8: Andy Biggs, one of the Republicans in the room, that's 664 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 8: the Republican representative from Arizona. He says that he thinks 665 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 8: that the president is compromised based on some of the 666 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 8: testimony that he's heard. Now, Devin Archer testified that there 667 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 8: was value in adding Hunter Biden to Bereisma's board to 668 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 8: promote what he called the brand Now.
