1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Oh, I'll come again, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: will take many of your calls, perhaps over the next 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: couple of hours, on a variety of subjects. Appreciate all 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. Just came from downstairs 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: where my wife had made a smoothie for me, and said, 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: you're totally wrong about the brad Pitt movies. But as 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: bad as your argument is, Buck's attempt to argue that 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: the Troy movie is one of brad Pitt's best is 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: maybe his worst movie take of all time. So, Laura 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: Travis just off the top of rope during the commercial 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: break there, I have to say, super homo erotic, not 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: particularly well done. Buck loves it. I don't know what 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: to say. 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the receipts, my man Troy, 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: and I mean the actual receipts. Troy I think did 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: almost a billion dollars globally, So somebody liked it. 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: Just saying I don't know what the total revenue was. 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: I just think it pales in comparison to seven all right, 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: speaking of horror films, snuff film. 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, five hundred million US dollars for Troy, and 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what did the movie seven made? 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: But go ahead, oh well seven. I mean, great forms 23 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: of art aren't always going to be reflected in the 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: box office, right, I mean, let's let's be honest. I mean, 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: I bet Citizen Kane, I bet Citizen Kane didn't produce. 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: Just let me give you the numbers, because you've just 27 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: done all this prefacing. Seven actually made three hundred and 28 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: thirty million dollars worldwide on a budget of thirty million, 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: So seven was a massive monetary success. 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: I did not know that. Also, horror movies in general, 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: I think have trouble getting because R rated movies are 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: going to have more difficulty. 33 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: I'm sure seven was rated movies, not horror movies. Do 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: horror movies? I think dollars in, dollars out are the 35 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: most loose, profitable, most profitable, But they try to keep 36 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: it out of the R rating because once you go 37 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: into the R you lose the teenagers to a large extent. 38 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: Who will go and see these horror movies over and 39 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: over and over again. But would you have rules for 40 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: your boys? By the way, I always wonder about this now. 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: I saw a kind of rate movie back in the 42 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: day from from Age thirteen on. I was seeing every Stallone, 43 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 2: every Schwarzenegger, all those you know, so a lot of violence. 44 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: Well so what was your So my mom and dad's 45 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: rule was And a lot of people are gonna say 46 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: this is crazy. 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Now, they were totally fine with as much violence as possible, 48 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: but they were not okay with like sex movies. Right, Like, 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: so I could go see like one hundred people get 50 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: murdered in like a Stallone movie or shot up or whatever, 51 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: but the idea of going to see like Basic Instinct 52 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: would have been just like. 53 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: I was not allowed to see Basic Instinct for example, 54 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: that was that was a no, but a Terminator was 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: a yes. 56 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 3: But there's no there's no you know, there's no boobs 57 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: and terminator. 58 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I I think I kind of agree with 59 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: that now having my own boys, First of all, they 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: have access to every movie ever made in the history 61 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: of mankind. So it isn't the same Like when you 62 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and I were young, you went to the movie theater, 63 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: you had to buy a ticket. The person who sold 64 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: you the ticket could look at you and be like, oh, 65 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: you're nowhere near eighteen. Were you ever turned away from 66 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: a radar movie? Yeah? 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: I was once in my life, and it was actually, 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: there's something about Mary. 69 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: Interesting a comedy. Yes, they don't really make that many 70 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: R rated comedies anymore, in the same way they don't 71 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: they try to avoid it for the horror. But sometimes 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: we would have to have our parents go and buy 73 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: the ticket. 74 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: It's because I didn't have idea. I never brought I 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: don't think I actually I think I was eighteen or 76 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: nineteen that I forget when the movie came out. But 77 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: I didn't have id on me and they're like, you 78 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: might you must be eighteen, and oh wow, yeah. 79 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: No, I think it was when I was like thirteen 80 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: or fourteen, and you'd have to have your parents sometimes 81 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: buy you like the Sylvester still Oan movie or the 82 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: whatever the shoot Them Up movie was that everybody was 83 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: going to see. Uh, I was saying in an incredible transition. 84 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of horror movies a moment ago, the Biden campaign 85 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: has descended into its own form of horror. Some might 86 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: call it a snuff film. You mentioned this, and I 87 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. Trump at his rally yesterday super 88 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: fantastic at draw one credit one correction from me, I'm 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: not infallible. I was told that Tua Tagovai Loa was 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: going to be at the rally. I tweeted it out. 91 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: I was told by someone that I trusted that he 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: would be there. He was not there. I would like 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: to apologize to Miami Dolphin fans everywhere to Tua. Didn't 94 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: know who that was. Yeah, to the entire Dolphin universe 95 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: out there. I know you've been trying to find a 96 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: quarterback to replace Dan Marino for thirty five years now, 97 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: and maybe tuas the guy, and you might have been 98 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: thinking to yourself. I didn't have my I had my doubts. 99 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: But then I heard Tua from Clay Travis was going 100 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: to be at the front row at the Trump rally 101 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: at Darrel. I whiffed, that's on me, all right. Although 102 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: two has a functional brain, I think he's going to 103 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: be voting for Donald Trump. Let me tell you this. 104 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: They So there's a couple of things here that I 105 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: wanted to hit you with. One. I understand a lot 106 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: of people out there are saying, a it's July, be 107 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: careful like there's still four months that can pass here. 108 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: This is from the New York Times. Everyone who has 109 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: led in July in the polling for most of the 110 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: last twenty some odd years has won the election in November. 111 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: Trump leads. Now I'm reading from them. Biden led Trump 112 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: four years ago, Hillary led eight years ago. She won 113 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: the popular vote. Barack Obama led in July. In two 114 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: thousand and eight and twelve, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan 115 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: both led in their reelection campaigns. The only one that 116 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you can really say came back to win after week 117 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: polling was George W. Bush in two thousand and four. 118 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: But Biden is nowhere close to where George W. Bush 119 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: was in two thousand and four. Reason why I bring 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: this up. The Trump team ranked hardest to easiest the 121 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: states that they thought were hardest to easiest to win. 122 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: You mentioned this earlier, Buck, this stood out to me. 123 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised. Again, hardest to easiest. Pennsylvania hardest, 124 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: followed by Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona. Okay, 125 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: you wanted to talk about the top end of this 126 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: the hardest, and I do think that's interesting about Pennsylvania. 127 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: But actually what jumped out to me here was that 128 00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: Nevada and Arizona were after Georgia and North Carolina, and 129 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: that Georgia was ahead of North Carolina in terms of 130 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: being a tougher win makes some sense because they won 131 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: North Carolina, but that Nevada and Arizona Nevada they lost 132 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: by like three points in twenty twenty, that both of 133 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: those they thought were kind of in the books. Did 134 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: that surprise you on the back end, that they actually 135 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: are even more confident of Nevada and Arizona than they 136 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: are Georgia and North Carolina. That's that really stood out. 137 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: I think I think that they have a you know, 138 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: they're going to try to put dollars in there and compete, 139 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: but I think that they have really no chance in Arizona. 140 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: They recognize that no chance in North Carolina, no chance 141 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: in Nevada. 142 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Divided team and basically recognize they have no chance. 143 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're they have. The only strategy is a 144 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: really like a rust belt corridor of running the table 145 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania, which you know it's kind of a Russbelt, 146 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: but Pennsylvania and then swinging up through Michigan and Wisconsin 147 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: and Okay, then having to hold all other Democrat territory. 148 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: So they said the three toughest, which I would expect 149 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: would be Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. In Michigan. What I found a 150 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: bit surprising about this, and again this is Axios reporting, 151 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: is that they actually think Michigan is easier than Pennsylvania 152 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: or Wisconsin. And if you look at twenty sixteen and 153 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Michigan they have not been as strong 154 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: in So what jumped out to me about that is 155 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of optimism about how things are going 156 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: in Michigan. And I wonder how much of that is 157 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: the Israel Palestinian conflict, because that's the one area where 158 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: I look at Michigan and say, well, it looks different 159 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: than Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in that respect. I think that Pennsylvania, though, 160 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: has a couple of Democrats, Fetterman being one of them, 161 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: who have been seeming more normal than the mainstream Democrat 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: party has been on. 163 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 2: A range of issues. So this ties into the Israel point. 164 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: But also, Josh Shapiro is a pretty popular governor I 165 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: think that's fair to say, and doesn't have yeah and 166 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: doesn't have anything tied to him that is, you know, 167 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: a huge negative, and so that may be why they're 168 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: a little more concerned about Pennsylvania. Because when you have 169 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: popular high elected officials from one party. 170 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 3: In that state. 171 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: I do think that that has a real effect, right, 172 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: the same way that you know, or similar to how 173 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: people say I hate Congress, but and you go, what 174 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 2: about your congressman, Oh, he's great. You know, people can 175 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: be swayed much more by those who already represent them 176 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: in some capacity than just the general national messaging that's 177 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: out there. So that's why I think Pennsylvania is is. 178 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: And also I would just say I think in the 179 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: Trump in the Trump team's mind, if they win Pennsylvania, 180 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: they win the whole thing. 181 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: It's over. 182 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: I think that as the Trump team sees this, it's over. 183 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: If they win Pennsylvania, they're winning everything else that they 184 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: need to win to win the whole election. It's a 185 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: little bit like, Uh, wasn't Ohio that state for a while? 186 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: Right? 187 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: You used to be saying that state. We kind of 188 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: shifted it around over the years. 189 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: But yes, you could almost say that Pennsylvania is the 190 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: Keystone state. 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: It's a dad joke for someone that is not yet 192 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: a dad. You're trending. I don't know. I don't know. 193 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: First the Troy endorsement, now the dad jokes. I just 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: I don't know where we're headed here. I do think 195 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: that there isn't enough discussion going on right now about 196 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: the fact that Biden really has no pathway to win 197 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: but for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and Trump has right 198 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: now so many different ways. I mean, as we watch 199 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the vote come in on November fifth, we could be 200 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: looking at that electoral vote in Maine. We could be 201 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: looking at New Hampshire, we could be looking at Virginia, 202 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: just on the east coast as a harbinger. And that 203 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: says nothing about New Jersey or New York, where Trump's 204 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: team has claimed they can make it somewhat competitive, as 205 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: a harbinger of where things are going, where the game 206 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: is being played. What the battlegrounds are matters a great deal. 207 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: Both teams agree on the battlegrounds, and the battlegrounds are 208 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: all in Joe Biden's backyard. 209 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: I also think it's it's noteworthy that there and I'll 210 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: say I had expected. I think this was the consensus 211 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: around a lot of people that Jerome Powell and the 212 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: Fed would start to bring down rates sooner this year. 213 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: They may still do it, you know, whatever quarter of 214 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 2: a point by the by the end of the year, 215 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 2: but they would start to do it sooner because that 216 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: would do a whole bunch of things for the economy 217 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: that would look good. But I think that they're still 218 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: so worried about They're more worried about inflation than anything else, 219 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: and they recognize that they've had to hold out longer 220 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: than was anticipated. Because if you start to have inflation 221 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: galloping again right before the election, then I think people 222 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: would really have just they throw their hands up. The 223 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: people that are price sensitive, which is swing voters, right, 224 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: those who don't necessarily vote the sort of low propensity voters, 225 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: so they're the economic argument for them is something that 226 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: Biden's already gonna have a lot of I think a 227 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: lot of trouble with. He just sort of mumbles about 228 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: the middle class a lot, doesn't really explain how anything's 229 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: going to work. And the other thing that I thought 230 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: has been really interesting is they've tried to argue that 231 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: Biden has had a really successful presidency as a means 232 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: of getting around the age issue. And when I look 233 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: at these swing states, I mean, if you're living in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, 234 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: or Michigan, what have you You just experienced really high 235 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: prices and sure, the stock market is high, but that's 236 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 2: really more a function of you can't get yield and 237 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: FED for saving your money, and FED policy. So everyone's 238 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: just piling money into the stock market because inflation is 239 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: so high that if you don't do that, you're losing 240 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: value in your savings account. This is just the math 241 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: of it. Do you see what I mean though, that 242 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: they're trying to make it sound like Biden's done such 243 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: a great job over these four years, and they rattle 244 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: off these things, these different bills, and I go, what 245 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: is he talking about? 246 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 3: Who actually thinks this stuff is true? 247 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: This is a great test for if Biden had come 248 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: in and not passed a single bill. I mean, think 249 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: about that he had come in and he just said, hey, 250 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, bien large. I mean, they can pass like hey, 251 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: it's national you know, I don't know, like national help 252 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: your neighbor month or whatever it is. I mean, like 253 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: actual substance of legislation. I would argue that the nation 254 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: would be far better off if he had just gotten 255 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: there in January of twenty twenty one basically adopted the 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: first oh of a physician, do no harm. I think 257 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: the country would be an infinitely better shape if you 258 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: had never passed a single bill. 259 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, look. 260 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: One of the one of the the hacks, you could say. 261 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: I think of the of the early American experiment and 262 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: what the founders were dealing with is you know, Congress 263 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: was like DC's a mallarial swamp. We got to get 264 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: out of here. 265 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. True, they were not around that much. 266 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: This is very different the America that we live in, 267 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: with a permanent political class feasting on all the all 268 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: the elite niceties of our nation's capital all the time. Yeah, 269 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: that's that's not what it used to be. There used 270 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: to be a lot less of that going on. Anyway, 271 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: we'll take some of your calls here, and you know, 272 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: I was just talking about inflation, and it's just the 273 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: reality that we all face. I mean, your dollars in 274 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: your bank account are losing value. But you know that 275 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: the price of gold has increased thirty percent in the 276 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: last year. What's driving this is a gold buying serve 277 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: by major countries and also a lot of Americans realizing 278 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: that compared to the dollar, gold is a long term 279 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: play for value keeping mind. Keep in mind that owning 280 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: gold may be one of the best hedges against inflation. 281 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: Even when we see President Trump reelected in November, hopefully 282 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: we will still be feeling the effect of Biden's inflation. 283 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: Four months and we've got thirty four trillion dollars and 284 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: counting of debt. Gold has become easy to access and 285 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: easy to own for those who want to take action 286 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: today and do something to protect their wealth over the 287 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: long run.

There, Trump had a 303 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: rally appeared to go very well. It was pete Trump. 304 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: You guys know what Trump is in favor of. But 305 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: I do think the tone of Trump right now is 306 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: one that we may never have seen, by which I 307 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: mean we've never really lived with front runner Trump candidate, 308 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: at least in the polling. He's always been behind. He's 309 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: all always been scrambling, chasing, trying to make up ground. 310 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: He feels very magnanimous to me and very relaxed, and 311 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: a relaxed Trump is actually a funny Trump, and so 312 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: I wanted to play a couple of cuts that I 313 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: thought were pretty funny. 314 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: One. 315 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: Biden challenged Trump to a golf match in their debate. 316 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: That audio is out there if you want to look 317 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: it up. Biden claimed that he was a six or 318 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: eight handicap, and of everything that Biden said during the 319 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: entire debate, it was the only thing that really seemed 320 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: to bother Trump, because he was like, you're edny golfer 321 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: out there knows what I'm talking about, Like you're just 322 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: blatantly lying. So Trump yesterday said, hey, I'll play you, 323 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, eighteen holes. I'll give you nine or sorry 324 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: ten on each side, a total of twenty, which is 325 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: a monster handicap to give anyone. And he said, if 326 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: you beat me, I'll donate a million dollars to the 327 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: charity of your choice, probably Hunter Biden. But here's what 328 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: it sounded like. 329 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: I'm also officially challenging cricket Joe to an eighteen hole 330 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 4: golf match right here. 331 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: Under ows Blue Monster. 332 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 4: Considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in 333 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 4: the world, one of the great courses of the world. 334 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: It will be among the. 335 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 4: Most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the 336 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: Ryder Cup or even the Masters. And I will even 337 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: give Joe Biden ten strokes aside. Ten strokes that's a lot. 338 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: That means twenty strokes in case. 339 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 3: You don't play golf. 340 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 4: I will give him ten strokes aside, and if he wins, 341 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 4: I will give the charity of his choice, any charity 342 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: that he wants, one million dollars. 343 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: I bet you he doesn't take the offer. 344 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 3: I would bet because. 345 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: He's all talk. 346 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 4: But what that match will do is prove that Joe 347 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 4: is in fact, all talk and no action, but on 348 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 4: many things, not just golf. 349 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: He was right, Buck. The Biden team came out and 350 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: put out the lamest, most pathetic response, declining the golf tournament. 351 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: Trump also challenged Biden to another debate, which also I 352 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: haven't seen a response to. But I don't even know 353 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: the answer to this. Have you ever watched in your life, Buck, 354 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: a golf tournament on television for eighteen holes of one 355 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: particular golfer. Have you ever sat down and watched, like said, hey, 356 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: I want to watch Tiger or Phil or anything. Have 357 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: you ever watched a golfer play eighteen holes on television? 358 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on the hot seat here, But no, 359 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: I have never watched a hole of golf on television, 360 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: not one hole. Never. You've never watched the Masters, You 361 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: never watched the US Open run. 362 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: A single solitary hole of golf. 363 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: No, your dad, who I believe is a monster golfer, 364 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: is right now. He's dis only many times over over 365 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: this specific issue. He absolutely loves golf, like loves golf. Okay, 366 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: So having said you never watched a hole on television, now, 367 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: what are the odds that you would put on your 368 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: calendar and watch all eighteen holes. If Biden and Trump 369 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: played an eighteen hole golf match. 370 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: Yes, I'd watch the whole thing. I would probably throw 371 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 2: a watch party. I'd be all about it. And I 372 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 2: do know enough about the rules of golf and the 373 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: scoring to know that I think that Donald Trump would 374 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: beat him by twenty strokes. 375 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think so too. I went on with 376 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: Jesse last night and I said I would put a 377 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: million dollars on Trump as well, and I tried to 378 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: get Jesse Waters to do it. He wouldn't do it. 379 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: I think he was afraid his wife was watching. He 380 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: didn't want to gamble in front of her, but not 381 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: to cast dispersion on him. But this is the win 382 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: that we would get. I think Trump is actually not 383 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: wrong here at all. I think this would be the 384 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: most watched golf match in the history of the United States. 385 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: If fifty million people roughly just watched the debate on 386 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: June twenty seventh, I think twenty five million of those 387 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: people at least would watch. And I think there'd be 388 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: a lot of people who didn't watch the debate that 389 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: are actually golf fans that would want to watch this too. 390 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: I think this will be the most watched golf event 391 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: in the history of the United States if Biden said yes. 392 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 3: Well, but here's the thing. 393 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: It's not just that it would be amusing to watch 394 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: the president and the former president play golf in the 395 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: heat of an election year. 396 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: This actually goes to who should be president. Yes, the 397 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: physical fitness element is integral here. 398 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 2: There's a reality here, which is that for anybody who 399 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 2: says Trump is too old, you know, Trump would be 400 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: moving around playing golf, making funny jokes, doing Trump things, 401 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: and Biden would look like it's nap time at the 402 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: old folks home the whole time, and we all know it. 403 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 2: So it's not only Trump being the showman, but it 404 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: does highlight the very real issue of Joe Biden is 405 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: clearly not up for this. 406 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: Isn't amazing you and I sit here. We've been saying 407 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's not up for this for years. 408 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: Yes, We've been having this. 409 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: Conversation so much so I'm like Clay, I don't know. 410 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: It's just, you know, they're just they're gonna keep pushing, 411 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: and they're gonna keep pushig. It's we almost feel like 412 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: we have to drone on about how Biden's not up 413 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: for this, and now everyone realizes because of the debate, 414 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: But I feel like they should have known beforehand, and 415 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: yet there's still some hesitation to face the reality. 416 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: I think if Biden played eighteen holes against Trump, it 417 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: would end his political career because I don't think I think, 418 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: if you watch, look, I'm the worst offer on the planet, 419 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: So you guys can splice my golf swing alongside of 420 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: a lot of I don't think anybody would watch me 421 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: play golf and say, I'm not sure if he's going 422 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: to finish the round, meaning I'm not sure if he's 423 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: physically capable of finishing the round. Mentally, I might have 424 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: to check out early, especially if you give me some drinks. 425 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 4: Right. 426 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that Joe Biden, even with a golf cart, 427 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: would be capable of swinging his golf club. And I 428 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: think it would certainly be at least one hundred swings 429 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: in the hot sun of Florida for four hours. I 430 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: don't think I he'd be physically able to do it. 431 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a drinkum. Trump does it every day. 432 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: Trump plays eighteen holes of golf every single day. Now 433 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: he's got a golf cart as most people do the 434 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: other things. To your point, Buck, I'll talk about us 435 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: discussing Biden and his verbal slip ups and his physical frailties. 436 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: I've bet a lot of people out there, even in 437 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: our audience, are like my wife, who's says, I can't 438 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: watch Biden stumble and bumble and fumble all over the 439 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: place anymore because it makes me feel ill to my 440 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: stomach that they are allowing him to do this. And 441 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: I think if you have an elderly relative out there, 442 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: maybe it is you yourself, you feel a form of 443 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: pain that this would even be allowed to be occurring 444 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: in our country. And remember, the only reason they are 445 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: now acknowledging what we have been telling you for a 446 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: couple of years, what has been self evident. When he 447 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: fell off the bike, when he tripped and fell walking 448 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: across the stage at the Air Force Academy, when he 449 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: tripped and fell going up the stairs to Air Force one, 450 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: they had to change his shoes, they had to change 451 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: the stairs that he goes up and down, when he 452 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: couldn't put his jacket on because the wind was blowing. 453 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: The only reason they're acknowledging this now is because has 454 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: taken a commanding lead in the polls, and they now 455 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: believe that Biden is going to lose and they want 456 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: to have a Hail Mary chance to find a replacement. 457 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: If Biden were winning, if Biden were up three or 458 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: four points right now in all of the battleground states, 459 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: if he were leading nationwide by three or four points, 460 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: none of these people would have said a word. They 461 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: would have all shut up and said Biden is. They 462 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: would be saying what Scarborough said, best version of himself. 463 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: He's got. He could be president for ten more years 464 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: if he needed to. That's what they'd be all telling you. 465 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: I really wish that I could sit down. I mean, 466 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: in a sense, I'm a focus group for Morning Joe 467 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: because I love you're their most diehard fan. 468 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: But I do wish that I could sit and watch it, 469 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,959 Speaker 2: or rather ask people who don't watch it for comedic value, 470 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 2: which is largely what I do, and also to see 471 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: what the Democrat talking points are that are going to 472 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: be spewed by the rest of the news cycle. The 473 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: people who think that it's good political analysis, the people 474 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 2: who think that Morning Joe calls it straight gives it 475 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 2: to you the way they need to to you know, 476 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: all that stuff. Do they not know that Joe Scarborough 477 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: said that Joe Biden was the best he had ever 478 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: been six weeks ago. Yeah, And wouldn't that wouldn't you 479 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: think maybe I shouldn't watch this person and have them 480 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: in my mind about reality, about politics, about anything after that. 481 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: That's the part of it that I don't understand. I 482 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 2: don't understand how you can view this. I mean, I'll 483 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 2: tell you know. I've been a consumer of different people's 484 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 2: newsletters and books and things, and there are a lot 485 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: of people who, you know, they go off the rails 486 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm done. You know that person is 487 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: no longer in my orbit of content. 488 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: That's happened. 489 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 2: Look, I Drudge Report. Drudge Report was my homepage for 490 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: almost two decades. 491 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: I don't even I never go to the Drudge Report anymore. 492 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: It's sad. 493 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: I used to think Drudge Report was great. I don't 494 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: understand how you can keep watching Morning Joe after that, 495 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? After such an obvious because 496 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: it's a con We might get things wrong here, but 497 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: we love everyone who listens and respects the fact that 498 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 2: they give us their time and that they're good people. 499 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: And that they're patriots. But morning Joe did was condescend 500 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: to the condescend to the audience. It was it was, 501 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: you know, they're too dumb to know the difference. So 502 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: let's just say this Biden nonsense because we can fool 503 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 2: them with it. 504 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 3: It's just a betrayal. 505 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: Well, it's a failure of the marketplace unless you analyze 506 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: it as the only thing people want to hear is 507 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: their team's good the other team's bad. And if that's 508 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: the case, then whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter, 509 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: because you've made the ultimate decision that the other side's wrong. 510 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: I've said this for a long time. I'm open to 511 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: believing that my opinions are wrong, and I actually encourage 512 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: all of you out there to be open to that 513 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: idea too, because there are a lot of things that 514 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: I believe now that I didn't believe when I was sixteen, 515 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: or twenty six or thirty six. Because the world around 516 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: me has changed and I've learned. I like to think 517 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: I've gained more wisdom, and so my opinions are different now. 518 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: As a dad of three, and as someone who has 519 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: founded a couple of businesses and been responsible for a 520 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: lot of other people's livelihoods. I think differently now than 521 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: I did when I was twenty two or twenty three 522 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: or thirty three. I think everybody should. And if you're 523 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: the kind of person who is going to say, well, 524 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: I just want to watch Joe Scarborough because even though 525 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: he lied to me in late March when he said 526 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: this is the best version of Biden that's ever existed, 527 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: no one believes that. No one believes that the best 528 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: version of anyone, by and large is the version that 529 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: comes after you get dementia. I've never heard anybody say, 530 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, Grandpa, Grandpa was a lot of fun, but 531 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: I didn't really love him until his brain stopped working. 532 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: That was the best version of him. Oh that's what 533 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: he told you. When people tell you things that are lies, 534 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: and then when they flip and tell you the exact opposite, 535 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: you should question how they got there. And the fact 536 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: that the marketplace doesn't seem to do it on MSNBC, 537 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: I think is a function of them collapsing overall in 538 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: terms of truth, but not being punished by it at 539 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: all in terms of audience. Look, if somebody tells you 540 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: they have the energy to get a job done, they 541 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: likely don't Joe Scarborough trying to say that Joe Biden 542 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: has the absolute best version of himself at eighty one. 543 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think the best version 544 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden is very high bar to hit right now. 545 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: But I do think if Joe Biden took Chalk, he'd 546 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: be a little bit better. Maybe we should be sending 547 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: this to the White House so that our president can 548 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: stay up later than eight o'clock at night. Maybe we 549 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: should send it up there so the president can work 550 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: after four o'clock in the afternoon.

There were faster ways to arrive 598 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: here than the paddleboarding across the Atlantic option that you took, 599 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: but we are glad you are here. As you look 600 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: around at all the people taking up residency, take a 601 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 2: deep breath and slowly exhale. This feels right, which is 602 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: exactly how Buck's lips are feeling when they devour that 603 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 2: Michelin star steak dinner. You will owe him and we 604 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: demand pictures. Excellent email from Douglas. It's a good email 605 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: from Douglas. 606 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: I will say, I'm holding out some small measure of help, 607 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: hope that there is some major bombshell that The New 608 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: York Times is threatening to drop that could change everything. 609 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of confidence that it's gonna happen, 610 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: but that's my last best hope because Biden's not stepping down. 611 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, one more here, what's up, guys. Longtime Rush listener. 612 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: I'm so proud of what you guys do. I listen 613 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: every day. 614 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: Buck. 615 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: This is for you. 616 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: I'm a former cop thirty three years Memphis, Tennessee, and 617 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 2: yet for all my time and the Army National Guard 618 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 2: of the Police have never had anything as dangerous as 619 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: what just happened, which was me laughing so hard at 620 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: Stephanopoulos as evil Frodo Baggins that I literally had to 621 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,479 Speaker 2: pull over to the side of the road and almost 622 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 2: cause two res. Love you guys keep dropping them like that. 623 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 2: Thanks so much. I'm just glad you're safe. Officer Brian 624 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 2: just glad you're safe. You know Frodo's glad too. 625 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: You would feel really bad if Officer Brian drove off 626 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: the road trying to react to your hobbit joke at 627 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: the expense of George Stephanopolis. I mean, our show probably 628 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: should come with a warning label political insights so fast 629 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: and furious and jokes so funny that driving can be 630 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: a hazardous condition.
