1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: I think that this conflict will certainly come to the

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: end in the next few weeks, could be sooner than that,

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: but the conflict will come to the end in the

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: next few weeks, and we'll see a rebound in supplies

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: and a pushing down of prices after that. But yes,

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: we were very aware and we would have short term disruption.

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: We would cause a little bit of increased prices on Americans.

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Prices today are still far below what they were in

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, where they were begging, bartering, and bribing

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Iran to behave better. We had five dollars gasoline in

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the Biden administration. We hope we don't

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: get there this time, but at least this increase in

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: gasoline prices is for something that's going to change the

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: geopolitical situation in the world forever.

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: So there you have Energy Secretary Chris Wrights laying out

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: a few things. Won the timeline that the White House,

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: Trump himself has been hammering, and I just said that

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: I think that that's probably going to be the timeline,

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: which is a few weeks from now. I think it's

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: going to be two week or less. We'll see, but

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: there's an artificial disruption and supply that is happening right

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: now because of that, Energy Secretary sounds like he's confident

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: that supply will come back online prices will start to

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: drop from there. That is certainly the hope, and I

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: think that that is very possible.

26
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: Clay.

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: The question that we look at now, though, is what

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: exactly what exactly the end state here is supposed to

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: look like it's starting to.

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: Feel more and more like.

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: The destruction of Iran's military and then just walking away

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: and saying we can do that again if we want

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: to is the goal here. There is not really much

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: talk of regime change. John Fetterman, the Senator, weighed in

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: on this one and the state of things in Iran.

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: This is cut three. Listen to Senator Fean.

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: I largely agree with what the president say that Iran

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: has essentially been defeated, and why don't the Western media

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: is just demand that Iran provide proof of life of

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 4: the Ayatola because I think the Iranians are doing kind

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 4: of like a weekend at Iatola's and they're trying to

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: pretend this guy is functional or even alive at this point,

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 4: and I think we just called him out and realize

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: that they're a nation that's been effectively defeated and they

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: don't have any leadership. They're unwilling to even provide proof

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: to refute that. Overall, I think it's entirely appropriate to

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: remind the world that if you want their oil, you know,

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: you need to help us to reopen the straits.

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: Weekend at Iotola's, he says, Clay, maybe he's a listener.

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 5: We need to at Bruce er ally, do we have

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 5: an invite recently that we've given to John Fetterman.

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: I don't know if we have.

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 5: We should extend one to him as well to come

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: on in the program because he's making a lot of

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: sense and the most recent data that I've seen. Buck

56
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 5: says that Fetterman now is more popular with Republicans in

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania than he is with Democrats. So we should definitely

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 5: reach out to him, Producer Ali will and invite him

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: on the program. As you were hearing President Trump, Buck,

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 5: you're talking about like one of the long range goals.

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 5: He said that based on the numbers, we have seen

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: a ninety five percent reduction in Iran's drone attacks and

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: a ninety percent reduction in their missile attacks. And he said, quote,

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 5: they don't have many missiles left at this point, and

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: so essentially they are wiped out. And I think the

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 5: question is who is their leader. We said earlier that

67
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 5: there were reports. There's actually been two reports. One is

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: that the much Tabah had to go to Europe for

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: months to be treated for impotence so that he could

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 5: have children. Just leaving it here for a moment. Now

71
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: they're saying that he was gay. Is it possible that

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: the impotence just was with the women. My point on

73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 5: this is, I think more and more there is a

74
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 5: likelihood that he is unable to be leader and that

75
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 5: they are just using him as a figurehead now, Buck,

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw this. There's even some

77
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 5: reports that he's not in Iran, that he is potentially

78
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 5: in Russia, that he may be in China, that he

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: may be in a different country right now, and that

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: Iran is using him as a figurehead. We still have

81
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 5: not heard his voice. We haven't seen any video from

82
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: him at all. They released a statement, They showed up

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 5: for a celebratory raising ascension I guess of him to

84
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: the leadership of Iran and danced around with a cardboard

85
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 5: cutout of him. None of these things inspire confidence that

86
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: he is okay. And I again used to do all

87
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: this analysis. I'm sure there's how many people do you

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 5: think are working in the CIA right now on whether

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: Little Mo is still alive? Like if a thousand? Like

90
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 5: how many people are looking at every single aspect of

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: evidence out there and writing up reports on this. How

92
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 5: big would that group be right now?

93
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: You think, I mean it's I don't say it's a thousands,

94
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: a lot.

95
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people that are going to be

96
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: pouring over all of the different collection that the intell

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: agencies have access to to try to figure this out.

98
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: But again, even if he's let's say he's dead, okay,

99
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: so what so?

100
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 3: Then what right?

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: And this is the next step still is not clear. We

102
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: don't have an opposition that looks like they're within takeover,

103
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: and we haven't heard about any so called moderate from

104
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: within the existing governance infrastructure of Iran that could maybe

105
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: be a more moderate future for the count. So I

106
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: just feel like we're we're gonna we're taking away all

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: the I Teller's toys, are blown up, all their stuff,

108
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: We are killing thousands of their soldiers in this process,

109
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: I might add, people don't really talk about that, but

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: there are there are people on these ships, there are

111
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: people operating these trucks and these manpads and such.

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: So we are we are just to.

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: Know when when people say it's not really war, we're

114
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: blowing up thousands of their soldiers, this is a war.

115
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: Let's let's always make sure that we have that obligation

116
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: to speak truthfully about this stuff. It's not a boots

117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: on the ground all in war, but it's a war.

118
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: If somebody else was doing this to us, we would

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: certainly think of it as a war. So we're in

120
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: a in a short term war where they were on

121
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: a conflict and and I think that we're gonna, like

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: I said, Trump is gonna wake up one day and

123
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: look at the look at the numbers and the charts

124
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: and everything else and say, all right, we've we've punished

125
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: them enough. Now let's see if they want to be

126
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: more reasonable going forward. I will add I don't think

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: they will be more reasonable going for This is the

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: other part of this, right, this is an intractable problem.

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: It's like dealing with North Korea. Everything that you would

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: think would work on a country that has even the

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: most baseline reason morality, all these kinds of things. If

132
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: you look at it from the perspective of, well, of

133
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: course they should do that, because we would do that.

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: At No, it's not how they do things. It's certainly

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: not how they do things in Iran. And from the

136
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: leadership perspective, and you know, I think everyone should just

137
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: gauge their expectations with this in mind. There's no opposition

138
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: faction that has emerged. We're not seeing any protests on

139
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: the streets or anything like that at all. And yeah,

140
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: I think Trump's gonna wrap this up. We're gonna say

141
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: their military is essentially gone, and we'll see what he

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: will say. And I mean this like a quote. Trump

143
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: will be like, we'll see what happens. That's going to

144
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: be where this ends.

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: I look, the message that we have sent to Iran is,

146
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 5: first of all, we got to figure out who the

147
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 5: leader is. And I think it's not a surprise that

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: they don't want us to know who the leader is

149
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: because they're aware that we could kill whoever the leader is,

150
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: and we have established that that is the fact. I

151
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: think one of the challenges going forward for Iran will

152
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: be they now know that we can take out their

153
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 5: leadership whenever we want. And so how do you stand

154
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 5: up in any way to anyone in the United States

155
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: or Israel with that knowledge. I'll also point this out.

156
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: There are reports, and I think this is super significant

157
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: and it has not been talked about enough. There are

158
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: reports that Saudi Arabia's leader is calling President Trump and

159
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: saying keep hitting them. This is nbs. He is the leader,

160
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: forty three forty four year old, relatively young leader of

161
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, the crown prince there, who has effectively taken

162
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: on the power. This is not a United States and

163
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: Israel against the Middle East war. The Middle Eastern powers,

164
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, the UAE Qatar, the ones that actually have

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 5: developed and functional economies, they're all saying hit Iran. So

166
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: what I think is going to be the legacy that

167
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 5: comes out of this is with Iran newtered, with Iran

168
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 5: without any significant weaponry.

169
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: I think the.

170
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 5: UAE Bahrain, all of these different places, including Saudi Arabia,

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: buck are going to sign on Saudi Arabia in particular,

172
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 5: who has not done it yet, to the Abraham Accords,

173
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 5: and we're going to see a level of peace start

174
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: to emerge in the Middle East that frankly we haven't

175
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 5: seen in generations, and that peace is not going to

176
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 5: be based on Arab versus jew It's going to be

177
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 5: based on countries that want to have functional, growing economies

178
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 5: and countries that don't. You know, the real part that

179
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 5: I think has to be galling to Iran is if

180
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: you study Middle Eastern history, Iran was one of the

181
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: economic powers of this region for hundreds of years. Now

182
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: they've been overwhelmingly surpassed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and

183
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 5: the UAE, certainly Israel. And if you're a proud educated

184
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,359
Speaker 5: member of Iran's you know, middle class, which is fairly substantial,

185
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: don't you have to look around and ask what you've

186
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 5: gotten for the last forty seven years? Do you feel like, hey,

187
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 5: life is better now than it was before the Islamic

188
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: Republic came into power. The one thing they sold buck

189
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 5: was we are a military power and we can punch

190
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 5: above our weight, and they just got completely defanged and

191
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: almost no time at all. What have you actually gotten

192
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: that's positive after forty seven years?

193
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: This is one of the very sad but true things

194
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: about authoritarian regimes and why they're so intractable. They can

195
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: rely on the phobia of the population, the extreme fear

196
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: of the population. Who wants to be the person clay

197
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: from the Iranian educated classes, you know, not part of

198
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: the in the government's and government infrastructure, who ends up

199
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: the first one dangling from a crane by their neck

200
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood.

201
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: It's very tough.

202
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, people have families, People want to live, they don't

203
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: want to die, and you know, you're thinking about this,

204
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: where does this go? This was the one of the

205
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: huge problems we had in Afghanistan. Was even even the

206
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: Afghans who were brave enough and there were many of

207
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: them to fight alongside Americans at different times against the Taliban,

208
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: they're like, you guys, you guys aren't gonna leave us.

209
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: At some point you have our back, right and then you're.

210
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: Gonna stay and you're gonna you're gonna make sure that

211
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 2: this we we were in this fight till the end.

212
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: Right.

213
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can imagine with the Iranians right now, Okay,

214
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: we're blowing up the military. There's still a lot of

215
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: bad guys with Ak forty seven's and probably uh, you know,

216
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: scimitars or something like it, machetes, walking around the neighborhood

217
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: and this is what what are we offering on that?

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: And the answer is not a whole heck of a lot.

219
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: So I don't see this changing, this on the ground

220
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: reality changing in any meaningful way, which means that we're

221
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: in a little bit of, like I said, the moograss

222
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: phenomenon with the Iranian military, We're gonna blow up all

223
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: their stuff and now whatever they do. Also, if when

224
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: they get enough stuff back, meaning military capability or even

225
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: just paramilitary capability, terrorist capability essentially, they decide to hit us,

226
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: they'll be like, well, yeah, you guys blew up all

227
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: of our ships and all of our stuff, and you

228
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: know you can see how this is gonna go right.

229
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: We're not.

230
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: We're not in a place where I, like you, are

231
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: more optimistic about the long term prospects here than I'm

232
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: very optimistic about Venezuela and have it all along, to

233
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: be clear, very optimistic.

234
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: I think it was the right move, a great move, Huran.

235
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm still sitting here like I want to see what

236
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: the I think I know what the end state is

237
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: and we can go back and play this in a

238
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: few weeks. It's gonna be Trump saying, all right, we

239
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: destroyed their military. We showed them what's up. Maybe we'll

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: talk in the future.

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: That's it.

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: I think that's where this is headache. I don't see

243
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: it heading some other way.

244
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 3: I think it's one. Yeah, this is an interesting conversation.

245
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: I'm optimistic only in the sense of it's one thing

246
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 5: for Israel to do well. It's another thing for the

247
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: United States to do well. A lot of times, it's

248
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: when people who are similar to you that start doing

249
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 5: well where you really start to question the decision making

250
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 5: that you have embraced. Right, It's one thing if Elon

251
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 5: Musk gets richer. It's another thing if a guy you

252
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: went to school with is suddenly a billionaire and you're

253
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 5: looking around saying, wait a minute, what did he did?

254
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 5: We had made the same grades everything else. Iran's neighborhood,

255
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 5: the Middle East, A lot of these countries are thriving.

256
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

257
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: They used to look down on Saudi Arabia, they used

258
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: to look down on Katar, they used to look down

259
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 5: on you know, Bahrain, all these countries, and they used

260
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 5: to think, Hey, those guys are backwoods. And now all

261
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 5: those countries are thriving. The people are rich, They're building huge,

262
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: incredible edifices all over those countries, and meanwhile Iran keeps

263
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: falling further behind. And I do wonder how much looking

264
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 5: at your neighbors and how much success they're going to

265
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 5: have makes the antagonism and the anger more prevalent in Iran.

266
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: That's one of the things that I just keep coming

267
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: back to. It's one thing again, US Israel. They've already been,

268
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 5: always been richer, But now what about the people used

269
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 5: to be better?

270
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Then?

271
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: I want to tell you I love trees. My wife

272
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 5: makes fun of how much I love trees. I like

273
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 5: old trees, I like different types of trees. I walk

274
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 5: around and look at trees a great deal. And that's

275
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: why I was so excited about our new sponsor, Fast

00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: a whole range of issues we have this ongoing I

314
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: guess we just call it air strikes.

315
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: Clay, I'm I say, it's this is war. But that's

316
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: that's okay.

317
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into some definitional fight with people,

318
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: and it doesn't as long as we understand that we

319
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: are engaged in acts of war.

320
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: We are killing people, we are blowing up military.

321
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: Material l We have lost over a dozen soldiers in

322
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: this process, or I should say a dozen service members

323
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: in this process as well. So it's it's serious business.

324
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Whatever we want to call it, it's a serious business.

325
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: And and this is something that the country should pay

326
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: close attention to. Now with the latest on this, there

327
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: are concerns over the price of oil. The Straight of

328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: Horror moves allies assisting us with the Straight of Horror

329
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: moves or the lack thereof lack of help from them.

330
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: So here we have Trump for example. This has cut

331
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: thirty four on whether France's Emmanuel Macron has been helpful

332
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: and what's going on with our allies and the Straight

333
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: of Hormuz.

334
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: Here's what he has to say, Play thirty four.

335
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 7: Have you been speaking with the French president Macron about

336
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 7: the coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormus?

337
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have spoken to him. He's been on a

338
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 8: scale of zero to ten, I'd say he's been an eight.

339
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 3: Not perfect, but it's friends.

340
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 8: Expect perfect.

341
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 7: Are you confident that friends will help with the reopening

342
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 7: of Strait of Hormus?

343
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

344
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 8: Sure he's gonna I think he's gonna help.

345
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll let you know. I spoke to him yesterday.

346
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 8: I don't do a hard sell on them because my

347
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: attitude is we don't need anybody. We're the strongest nation

348
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 8: in the world. We have the strongest military by far

349
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 8: in the way.

350
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 5: We don't need them.

351
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: Clay Trump being Trump there and just laying it out,

352
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: He's like, look, if allies want to help, they'd be great.

353
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: He's this Macron eight out of ten from Trump is

354
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: pretty good because you know, if it were a two

355
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: out of ten, he wouldn't be shy, or zero out

356
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: of ten, he wouldn't be shy about saying it. But

357
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: getting more allies to help this is a Remember it's

358
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: not just Iranian oil, it's.

359
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: Rocky and kwaighty and you know you have to do Saudi.

360
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: You got to think about all the different factors here

361
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: with the straight of horror moves and who is affected

362
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: by this?

363
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, I mean the reality is China, I

364
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 5: believe is the most impacted. They're the ones who need

365
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: Iranian oil worse than anybody does. And so the amount

366
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: of oil and gas that impacts us that comes out

367
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 5: of the strait of her moves is almost non existent.

368
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 5: In fact, we're a net exporting country when it comes

369
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 5: to our overall oil and gas. And if you paid attention,

370
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 5: the oil and gas company stocks have actually been on

371
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 5: fire because Trump prefers that the price of oil and

372
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 5: gas be in the fifty dollars area. The oil and

373
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 5: gas provider some of them say they needed to be

374
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: in the sixty dollars area.

375
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: For those of you that are paying.

376
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: Attention right now as I speak to you, oil and

377
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: gas is ninety four dollars a barrel, and it's down

378
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 5: from one twenty last Sunday when it spiked and hit

379
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 5: a higher rate. So the price of oil and gas

380
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 5: come down, the price will go up. And President Trump

381
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 5: has been pretty clear that when and I think this

382
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 5: is one hundred percent accurate, when we end our actions

383
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: in the Middle East, they will be coming back down here.

384
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 5: By the way, we were talking earlier about moch Taba

385
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 5: Kamene and the fact that Trump has been told that

386
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: he may actually be gay, but Trump says, we don't

387
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 5: know where he is or even if he's alive. He

388
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 5: was asked about this at a press conference at the

389
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 5: Kennedy Center just a little bit earlier in the day.

390
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: Here's cut thirty five.

391
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 5: Trump on on the man that has been elevated to

392
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: the new Supreme Leader of Iran and whether he's even alive,

393
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: cut thirty five.

394
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 8: A lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured.

395
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 8: They're saying that he lost his leg one leg, and

396
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 8: he's you know, been hurt very badly. Other people are

397
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 8: saying he's dead. Nobody's saying he's one hundred percent healthy,

398
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 8: And you know, he hasn't spoken because the Ayatola would

399
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 8: sit and he'd spew hate from a form of a throne.

400
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 8: Not as nice as a throne. I like the English

401
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 8: throne much better. But it was a fancy chair. But

402
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 8: he'd spew hate from his chair. But you see him

403
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 8: a lot, right this one we haven't seen at all,

404
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 8: So that could be for a lot of different reasons.

405
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: We don't know Peter, I he is dead or not?

406
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 5: Okay, a couple of other things here, buck, President Trump says,

407
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: so he doesn't. That was a response to a question

408
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 5: for Peter Doocey. He says, we don't know if he's

409
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: alive or dead. And President Trump says, one of the

410
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 5: challenges here. Ron wants to talk and they say they

411
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: want peace. But President Trump says, we killed so many

412
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 5: of their leaders. We're not even sure who's alive or

413
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: who we're negotiating with. Cut thirty six.

414
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 8: All of their leaders are dead as far as we know.

415
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 8: But they're all dead. We don't know who we're dealing with.

416
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 8: We knocked out the first group, then the second group

417
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 8: met eighty eight met to pick the leader because the

418
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 8: first group was all dead, and the second group got

419
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 8: knocked out. They're all dead. Then the third group met.

420
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 8: I would think they're a little nervous about mating. I

421
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 8: don't know if they're nervous, maybe they're crazy. They're not nervous,

422
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 8: then they're crazy. But we met with the next group.

423
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 8: But we don't know who their leader is. We have

424
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 8: people wanting to negotiate, we have no idea who they are.

425
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 5: And then so again we have no idea who the

426
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 5: leader is. We don't know who we're negotiating with. He

427
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 5: did think this was interesting, Buck, and we were talking

428
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: about this a little bit off the air. President Trump

429
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 5: won't say which president he talked to former president, although

430
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 5: we'll tell you who our guesses are here in a moment.

431
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: But he said, I wish I had done it. Here

432
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: is cut thirty seven.

433
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 8: Every president knew. I've spoken to a certain president who

434
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 8: I like, actually a past president, former president. He said,

435
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 8: I wish I did it. I wish I did, but

436
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 8: they didn't do it. I'm doing it, yeah, which I can't.

437
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: I can't tell you that.

438
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 8: I don't want to embarrass. It would be very bad

439
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 8: for his career, even though he's got no career.

440
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 5: Okay, certain president who he likes that, says I wish

441
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 5: I had done it buck Bill Clinton, it feels to

442
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: me if you listened. I don't know if we played that,

443
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 5: maybe we can go grab it. Bill Clinton, in his

444
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 5: Epstein deposition said, as far as I know, President Trump

445
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 5: never did anything wrong, and he can we go grab that.

446
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 5: I know it was in the Ross producer Greg, if

447
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: you can grab that, because I don't think we ever

448
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 5: played it, but I meant to have us play it

449
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: because President Trump has been actually fairly complimentary of President Clinton.

450
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: They used to play golf a lot. I don't think

451
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 5: it's Biden because certainly Trump does not seem to be

452
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 5: very fond of Biden. I don't think it's Obama because

453
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: I don't think Trump and Obama would talk.

454
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: George W.

455
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 5: Bush is the only other former president this could be,

456
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: but it doesn't seem like President Trump and George W.

457
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: Bush have much of a positive relationship. So would you

458
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: agree with me if you were assessing who the conversation

459
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 5: was with that, by far it would be Bill Clinton.

460
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

461
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: I think if you put Bill Clinton and Donald Trump

462
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: in a room right now, I think they brow it

463
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 2: out for an hour and like we're laughing and having

464
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: a good time. I don't think that Trump has any

465
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: animosity towards Bill Clinton at all.

466
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: I don't.

467
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: I can't think of Bill Clinton taking any meaningful shots

468
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: at Trump publicly either. I do not think that Donald

469
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: Trump likes Barack Obama. I do not think that they

470
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: would have this kind of offline conversation. I could not

471
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: see that. Uh so, you know, yeah, I would. I

472
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: would say it's probably.

473
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the only other one I think it could

474
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: be is George W.

475
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: Bush, right, And there's never really been any indication that

476
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 5: Trump and George W. Bush have much of a relationship

477
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 5: at all. So I think of the of the former presidents,

478
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 5: Clinton would be the one that he has the best

479
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 5: relationship with by far.

480
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 8: Well.

481
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: What he's speaking to here as well is when he

482
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: says a former president who says, I wish I could

483
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: have done this too. The Iranian regime has just been

484
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: causing problems and not like trade problems, and you know,

485
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: you know Iranians they directed uh you know, the Bea

486
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: Hesbal as a proxy, the direct terrorist attacks all over

487
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: the world. There's a horrific attack at the Jewish Center

488
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: in Buenos Aires. I've actually been to that Jewish Center

489
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: and been there for a ceremony commemorating this down in Argentina.

490
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: Just how how horrible this this attack. You wouldn't think that,

491
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, Middle Eastern terrorist groups would be reaching deep

492
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 2: into Argentina at something, but they did. So this is

493
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: the reality. I think Clay is Trump just lost patience

494
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: with this nonsense. I think he realized that there was

495
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: no world in which the Iranians were going to meaningfully

496
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: agree to verifiable de nuclear weaponization and everything. And it

497
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: was all just chirping in chat, you know what I mean,

498
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: It was all nonsense and all this talk and all

499
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: the negotiations. Trump I think and his team are approaching

500
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: them in good faith, and they just the more they

501
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: deal with the Iranians, the more they feel like you're

502
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: just constantly playing games in line. And he said enough

503
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: is enough.

504
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: And I think that.

505
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that after especially many

506
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: of you listening to this, you know what I'm talking about.

507
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: In Iraq, it was Iranians working through the Shia militias,

508
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: which were just essentially armed, tripped and a quaint and armed,

509
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: trained and equipped factions of the Iranians in Iraq. They

510
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: were blowing up Americans just to kill Americans, naming them,

511
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: killing them with these EFPs. I've talked about the explosively

512
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: formed penetrators. The Iranians came up with an explosive that

513
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: was specifically designed to penetrate the wholes of American armored

514
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: vehicles because after all, the IEDs our vehicles got up armored.

515
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 2: But these EFPs could punch through almost anything. And they

516
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: did this just to kill Americans. They weren't going to

517
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: take over in Iraq, you know, they weren't going to

518
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: invade themselves, so they kind of took over via proxy.

519
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: But people got pissed off about this, and Trump was

520
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: pissed off about it, and I get it. So part

521
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: of this also is just we're sick of the Iranians

522
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: thinking that they can do this stuff. But I'll just

523
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: remind everyone they stay in charge, they're not going to

524
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: forget about this. So it's not like the problem is

525
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: solved just by we keep hearing defang I've used the

526
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: phrase myself, the fangs are going to grow back if

527
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: the same people are in charge.

528
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: Here, by the way, we didn't play this. Bill Clinton

529
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: was deposed in the.

530
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 5: Epstein related investigations, and here is what he said about

531
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: President Trump. He goes out of his way not even

532
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 5: directly asked this, I think, in a Democrat line of questioning,

533
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 5: to say, hey, I never saw anything that would suggest

534
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 5: Trump was engaged in any kind of illegality.

535
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: Listen, he's never.

536
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 9: The president never, this is funny something years ago. Never

537
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 9: said anything to me to make me think he was

538
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 9: involved in anything in profitable regard to Epstein.

539
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: Either, he just didn't.

540
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 9: That's the truth. You know. As I said earlier, the

541
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 9: only conversation I have with President Trump's buff this was

542
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 9: in the early two thousands, and I have no information

543
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 9: that he did anything wrong. I just wanted all out there.

544
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 9: I want everybody to get it all out there and

545
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 9: let everybody see where we all.

546
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: I just thought that was interesting.

547
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 5: In the prelude to that, Clinton said, hey, you're not

548
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 5: asking me specifically about this, but he just put it

549
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 5: out there, which makes me think.

550
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 3: And I know they played golf together before.

551
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 5: Again, presuming President Trump is being honest about this, and

552
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 5: I think he probably is. I think he probably does

553
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: talk to Bill Clinton every now and then. I think

554
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 5: he liked Bill Clinton. It also ties in buck with

555
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: I think Bill Clinton. If you go back in time

556
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: would say not having taken out North Korea's nuclear abilities

557
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 5: is one of his regrets from when he was president.

558
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 5: I think he said that publicly, and I know that

559
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 5: we've made that analogy.

560
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: Certainly.

561
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: I have that this is the modern day equivalent of

562
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: taking out the nuclear opportunity before it arises, and so

563
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: I think they probably have talked about this. So I

564
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 5: would be very surprised if he's not talking about Bill Clinton.

565
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably the case.

566
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: Now we have to see where all of this goes

567
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: and how long this continues on. And we haven't really

568
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: discussed a clay, but there is something of a fracture

569
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: in the MAGA.

570
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: World right now.

571
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: Where there are a lot of very ardent Trump supporters

572
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: who are really really upset about this operation in Iran.

573
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: I think that they will stop being so upset about

574
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: it when the operation ceases, which I believe will be soon.

575
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: But you know, this is causing in an election year.

576
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: Now we're early in the election year, but this is

577
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 2: definitely causing a bit of static on our own side.

578
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: And I think that people have started to lose sight

579
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: a little bit. And this is true in a whole

580
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: range of ways. Of what a danger the Democrats are,

581
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: how much suffering, how much waste, how much fraud, how

582
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: much misery, how much crime go to the list. If

583
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: Democrats take back power, we will all have to suffer through,

584
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: and I think that will be a unifying thing as

585
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: it gets closer. I would hope it's a unified thing

586
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: to recognize the Democrat Party of twenty twenty four that

587
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: was soundly defeated is the exact same Democrat Party now,

588
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: except they're even more you know, outraged, angry, and emotionally unstable,

589
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: and they are thinking that as soon as Trump is

590
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: no longer leading, they'll have an opportunity. So that's that's

591
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: part of this too. So I'm just saying that I

592
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: know there are voices out there who are very upset

593
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: at Trump about this.

594
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: Who are Trump supporters.

595
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: I don't care about the I hate Trump even if

596
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: he cures cancer people because they're they're irrelevant. I mean,

597
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: there's nothing to do for them. But I do think

598
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: we have to keep an eye on how long this goes,

599
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: because you want people to show up in the midterms

600
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: and prevent Trump from being completely stymied by a Democrat

601
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: controlled House, which is certainly a high concern.

602
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: I have high concern about it, all right.

603
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: Protecting yourself and your family with non lethal protection is

604
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: not a new concept. Modern diversions have been around for

605
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: more than a half a century. But there's a company

606
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 2: called Saber. The spelling is important, a bre that has

607
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: been manufacturing non lethal projectiles for a long time. I'm

608
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: talking about decades, and now's a good time for you

609
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: to put together your self protection plan, your home protection

610
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: plan using Sabers non lethal tools. Because home invasions happen

611
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: all too often, all across the country, even in places

612
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: where you would never expect it. So it's just worth

613
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: being safe and taking action today so that you can

614
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: defend yourself if the time comes. Sabers Home Defense Launcher

615
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: is one of the non lethal items that you should purchase.

616
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: Powerful protection off is not designed to help keep you safe.

617
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: We own these, we know how easy they are to use.

618
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: The Saber Home Defense Launcher delivers seven powerful impact or

619
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: pepper projectiles, two more than most competitors. When safety matters

620
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: America choose a Saber number one brand trusted by police

621
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: and millions worldwide. Sabre is how it's spelled. Don't wait

631
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 5: This is real, like I said, and not spectacular.

632
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: For those of you out there that are Siginfeld fans,

633
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: these are the real rules.

634
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 5: In order to compete for Best Picture, all films must

635
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 5: now meet the diversity and inclusion quota to be nominated.

636
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: There are These are the requirements. Buck.

637
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: A lead or significant supporting actor must be from an

638
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 5: underrepresented racial or ethnic group. At least one of the

639
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 5: lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented

640
00:32:51,920 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 5: racial or ethnic group including Black, East Asian, Hispanic, Indigit People's,

641
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 5: Middle Eastern North African, Pacific Islander, South Asian including Bangladeshi, Bhutanese, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani,

642
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: and Sri Lankan. Southeast Asian including Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, hamong In, Indonesian, Laotian.

643
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 5: Some of these I'm not even that familiar with candidly

644
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: Malaysian mien. I don't know what that is, Singaporean, Thai

645
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 5: and Vietnamese. I think I deserve credit for not saying

646
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 5: THI All right, that's one. This is one part. Second part, Buck,

647
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: at least thirty percent of all actors not submitted for

648
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: OSCAR consideration must be from at least two underrepresented groups,

649
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: including women, racial or ethnic groups, LBGTQ plus people with

650
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 5: cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard

651
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 5: of hearing. Now there's a joke there, because you could

652
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 5: just be We'll just say that he's, you know, like

653
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 5: a sub IQT. And then another one Buck, main storyline

654
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 5: or subject matter. The main storyline, theme, or narrative of

655
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 5: the group must be centered on an underrepresented group women,

656
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 5: racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ plus people with cognitive or

657
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 5: physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

658
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: So in order to qualify, you have to meet the

659
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 5: diversity and inclusion guidelines to be considered for a movie. So,

660
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 5: for instance, I saw Jimmy Fayla tweet about this. In theory,

661
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 5: the Godfather would not qualify. I don't believe as a

662
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: Best Picture nominee now because my recollection of it is

663
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 5: it's the story of an Italian family obviously mobsters, but

664
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of diversity, equity and inclusion in

665
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: that film. I would imagine a movie like Brave Heart

666
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 5: or Gladiator would not qualify now for an Oscar like

667
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 5: you can go back through a lot of phenomenal movies

668
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 5: that would no longer qualify to even be nominated. Titanic

669
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: I can't imagine would qualify. Really, it's kind of crazy

670
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: to think about.

671
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: Yes, in Braveheart, Edward Longshanks throws the gay lover of

672
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: his son out the window summarily.

673
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: I think that.

674
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: Would be a big problem for the today. I think

675
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: there would be issues that they would not, you know,

676
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: be willing to overlook from movies that were were celebrated

677
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: as the best movies of our youth. It's there's a

678
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: part of me that's that is actually just sad because

679
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: movies with a dominant art form in America. For really,

680
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: I think everyone listening right now, I mean you can

681
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: go back.

682
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 3: Even into the sixties and seven.

683
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: You know, people would say music in this xty seventies

684
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 2: maybe was had the same kind of cultural resonance, the

685
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: biggest movies in the eighties, nineties, and the other two

686
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: thousands were the biggest cultural events that we had. Okay,

687
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: it was bigger than any band, It was bigger than

688
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 2: anything else, and certainly had the most staying power, I think.

689
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 2: And now it's just trash. They're just churning out trash

690
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: all the time. And I think part of this is

691
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: that once you've created some of these dei which really

692
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: it's race Marxism, and once the Academy and Hollywood in

693
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 2: general put this race marxism into place, it's very hard

694
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: to get rid of because you have a lot of

695
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 2: people now who have positions of authority that they were

696
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: given because of skin color, LGBTQ status, whatever it may be, right,

697
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: gender identity. Do you think that they're ever going to say,

698
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: you know what, we're we're kind of messing things up

699
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 2: by creating these rules that that privilege and empower people

700
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: like me.

701
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 3: No, of course not.

702
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: So they're the ones calling the shots, and they're the

703
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: ones that are going to say that that list you

704
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: went off is insane. It's insane and also tells you

705
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: on its face that this is not about the best movie.

706
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: This is about the movie that the people that think

707
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: that these rules, you know, the movies that the people

708
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: who think about these rules want you to see and

709
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 2: think is the best. Well, it's very very thinly sliced onion.

710
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 5: So think about this. Could you even could Saving Private

711
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 5: Ryan be nominated? When I think about history movies, right,

712
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 5: we make fun of the fact that you watch a

713
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 5: Viking historical drama and suddenly there's a black female Viking

714
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: and you're like, I, you know, leader, I don't think

715
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 5: it was very historically accurate that the Vikings were led

716
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 5: by black women. And then you see like the Shonda

717
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 5: Rhimes of the world, who make tons of money from Netflix,

718
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 5: and they say, you know, race is such a cultural construct,

719
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 5: and they make I don't know whatever it is, Pride

720
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 5: and Prejudice. Was Bridgerton the thing that she watches, I

721
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 5: don't make I don't watch it now. But you base

722
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 5: sickly couldn't nominate a show like that for inclusion because

723
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 5: it's said in England in the seventeenth and eighteenth century,

724
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 5: whatever the heck it is. But I mean, think about

725
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 5: it just recently, would you say Saving Private Ryan, whatever

726
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: you think, is probably what one of the jewels of

727
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 5: modern American cinema. If you consider just the entire concept

728
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 5: of the movie, from start to finish, the d day shots,

729
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: everything else, it clearly wouldn't qualify for Best Picture. They

730
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 5: would have to create a suck thing about it. They

731
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 5: would almost crew one.

732
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 2: Of the best pictures would qualify. Almost not I don't

733
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: think any of them.

734
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 5: I mean if you go back and look through them,

735
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 5: but anything that has a historical aspect, either they have

736
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 5: to create a subplot that has nothing to do with

737
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 5: the actual history. Right, So you're like, and here's saving

738
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 5: Private Ryan, and now we're gonna also tell the story

739
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: of the Tuskegee Airmen, and we're gonna weave somehow that

740
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 5: into this story of But I mean, think about like Braveheart.

741
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: They would just create black characters in Scotland and they

742
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 5: would have them in the movie so that they could

743
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 5: qualify for Oscars. Right, I mean, any movie that's made

744
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 5: I just watched Napoleon, any movie that's made that actually

745
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 5: features white guys, and any military drama for instance, of

746
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 5: the last thousand years basically couldn't be made and compete

747
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 5: for an Oscar now without a created subplot that involves

748
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 5: a gay lesbian angle, or a black subplot or a

749
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 5: female subplot. I mean, maybe you could say, oh, we're

750
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 5: gonna make Josephine the star of the Napoleon drama so

751
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 5: that it qualifies, and she's gonna have thirty percent of

752
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 5: the lines.

753
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: This is awful.

754
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 5: It destroys great art by making you check boxes as

755
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 5: opposed to just make a great film. The Godfather is

756
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 5: a perfect example, because probably the greatest film that's ever

757
00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 5: been made.

758
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: I it used to be. It used to be the.

759
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: Case that the Best Picture nominees and also just in general,

760
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: the movies that would get a lot of acclaim were

761
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: also the movies that everybody saw and a lot of

762
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: people love. Now that's not universally the case, or it's

763
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent, but movies that people love would

764
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: get nominated for stuff. You know, didn't Gladiator win Best Picture?

765
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, Gladiator one.

766
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: Best Picture, Titanic one Best Picture? Did Braveheart win?

767
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: Yes, Brave Heart one hundred percent? Brave Heart won Best

768
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: Picture and Best Director? So Mel Gibson saving Private Ryan win?

769
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: I mean, no, no, Shakespeare in Love. I think beat

770
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: Saving Private Ryan that year. Well that's what I remember this.

771
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: It was a Weinstein Mirramax film.

772
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: Well, Harvey Weinstein never did anything wrong. We all know that,

773
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 3: So we had Hollywood's favorite.

774
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 5: Oh, everybody who lectures you about virality, they loved Harvey Weinstein.

775
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: I it's it's astonishing to see how far it's fall though.

776
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: Where now it's like they're celebrating weird art house films

777
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: and trying to get everybody to act like they're so

778
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: great and they're just not. When people say that what

779
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: makes a movie good? Is it really entertaining? Are you

780
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: sitting there and it's and the time is flying by

781
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: because you're really into the story. I mean, I think

782
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: that's one of the first ways you can know. I mean,

783
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: the movie Centers is just a it's a it's a

784
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: rip off of From Dusk Till Dawn, which is a

785
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: movie that is probably best seen after drinking a forty

786
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 2: of Old English or smoking something when you're in college. Okay,

787
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: From Dust Till Dawn is not a great movie. It

788
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: has its entertaining moments, and it is among the best.

789
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 5: Selma Hyak for Dancing with the Python. Back in the day,

790
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 5: I knew, I knew Clay was gonna come in with

791
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: the selamahayak there. I just knew I was one of

792
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 5: the great scenes in film history. I'll just point.

793
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: Out Selma was uh, Salma did very well for herself.

794
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: So but this is you look at Sinners and the

795
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: plot you just you just read the plot.

796
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 3: You're like, this is stupid. This is a stupid plot.

797
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: It's not it's not a good movie.

798
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it, But I love that you hate

799
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 5: Cinner this much. I haven't seen it at all.

800
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: You know that there's now memes about people that feel

801
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: like they have to tell you how much they hate Sinners,

802
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: Like this is the thing now, you know, because it's

803
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: it's it's not enough to just be like it's a

804
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: bad movie, like they want to tell everybody. But yeah,

805
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm somebody who wants to tell her it's a terrible

806
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 2: that's the great, that's the great for succession. Do you

807
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: remember when they're in that party and they're like, what

808
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: kind of party is this? And he was like, it's

809
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: a party where you can tell everybody that you actually

810
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: think that Hamilton.

811
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: Hamilton is bad. Yeah.

812
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: That totally resonated with me because I was kind of

813
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: a hold that there were people who were right of

814
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: center who were like, I think Hamilton's really good, and

815
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: I was like, you're just part of the mob, part

816
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: of the herd on this one, and it's absolutely not.

817
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: Hamilton is trash. It is garbage start to finish. There

818
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: is no reason for you to pretend that you like this.

819
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: I know it's the most successful financially musical of all time.

820
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't care that truth.

821
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 5: Yes, no way, yeah, it's not more successful than Katz

822
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 5: and LEAMZ check it out team.

823
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: There's no way that's truth. Look at those are just

824
00:42:59,320 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 3: way long.

825
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: I know nothing about musicals that I just don't think

826
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 5: it's old enough.

827
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: Clay people were charging like a one thousand dollars a

828
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: ticket for years to go to see Hamilton, and that

829
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: was just like basic thing good.

830
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: This is crazy. It was a total. It was like, uh, it.

831
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: Was like paying penance for all of America's historic and

832
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 2: and racial wrongs. You had to pay like a mortgage

833
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: payment to go see Hamilton to be a good person.

834
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 3: That I went and saw. I thought it was okay.

835
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 5: But I I like history, and I was I just

836
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 5: I still think a Country and Western version of the

837
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 5: Obama administration played by white actors to prove how race

838
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 5: doesn't matter. Would actually just kill and uh, I would

839
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 5: love to see the reaction. We're gonna do a country

840
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 5: and Western version of Obama, and we've got white men

841
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 5: and women playing Barack.

842
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna let you because race is a culture

843
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: to let you redeem yourself. Here, I'm gonna let you

844
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: redeem yourself. What's better Scream seven or Hamilton?

845
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 3: Scream seven? There we go.

846
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: I haven't even seen Scream seven, and I can tell

847
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: you it's better than Hamilton because Hamilton ucks.

848
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,719

00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 5: I need to be able to keep up with my kids,

Speaker 2: about the Iran situation here and everything going on around it,

881
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: and it looks like this war is going to continue

882
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 2: on for at least some weeks ahead.

883
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000

889
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: gonna get unserious very fast here with these talkbacks. Do

00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 3: Well?

892
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 5: What did I tease? I do want to mention before

893
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 5: we have some some fun here. This is awful and

894
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 5: it's a story that I think should be getting more attention.

895
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah.

896
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 5: The Iranian women's soccer team refuse to sing the national

897
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 5: anthem in Australia during a tournament that happened about the

898
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 5: same time as our attacks on Iran began.

899
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

900
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 5: The women were then threatened by their minders, as unfortunately

901
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 5: often occurs, and seven of them I believe was the

902
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 5: initial number, were granted asylum in Australia because they were

903
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 5: terrified to go back home. There are reports now that

904
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 5: Iran has been seizing the family members of these women

905
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 5: and torturing them, and the women have now for the

906
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 5: most part, all left Australia and relinquished rescinded their asylum claims.

907
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 5: I believe team, if you can make this, I believe

908
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 5: they're down to two people now who are left in

909
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 5: Australia to members of that team, and everybody else has

910
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 5: has decided to return to Iran, even though obviously they

911
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 5: are likely to face severe torture themselves and maybe even execution.

912
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 3: For some of them.

913
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 5: On top of that, buck, no one the Megan Rapinos

914
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 5: of the world. All of the US women soccer players

915
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 5: who have lectured us about how awful Trump is and

916
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 5: how they won't go to the White House and how

917
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 5: they don't want your support if you're a Trump voter,

918
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 5: all of the those things the Megan Rapinos in their

919
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 5: crowd have said. None of these women have set a

920
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 5: world a word buck about these Iranian women's soccer players

921
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 5: and spoken up for basic human rights around the world,

922
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 5: or supported them in any way. I just think it's

923
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 5: very much worth considering when we look at the hypocrisy

924
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 5: there of so many of these athletes. When real danger

925
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 5: is faced and when real courage is required by women's athletes,

926
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 5: they won't say a word. And unfortunately these women, we

927
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 5: may not see some of them ever again because they

928
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 5: may well be tortured or killed for having the bravery

929
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 5: to actually do something, to stand up for freedom. It

930
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 5: kind of ties in with your point earlier Buck, which

931
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 5: is it's hard to be the guy or gal who

932
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 5: stands up for a new regime when the regime and

933
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 5: power still has the ability to kill you. It takes

934
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 5: unbelievable courage and frankly a high tolerance for risk, not

935
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 5: only for you but for your family to rise up

936
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 5: with the idea of throwing over this government, overthrowing this

937
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 5: government when the reality may be there might not be

938
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 5: very many people following you.

939
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: It is interesting, I think as well Clay with this,

940
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: and it's a really it's a terrible story.

941
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: It's important and proople to know about this story.

942
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: But the same voices who are so quick to criticize

943
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: Trump and the US for its actions in Iran have

944
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: narrow word of criticism to share about the Iranian regime.

945
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 3: Ever.

946
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 2: Really, Iran just gets to do what it wants, and

947
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the commentariat and in politics

948
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 2: don't really have any problem with Iran. They can do

949
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 2: whatever that, they can sponsor as much terrorism as they want,

950
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: They can be as anti, they can be as as

951
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 2: they can persecute gays as much as they want. They

952
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 2: can whatever it is that they want to do, and

953
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: they're allowed to do it. And they can be authoritarian,

954
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: non democratic state, no elections, nothing else. And you might say, oh,

955
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: but what about all these other Arab countries in the region. Okay, yeah,

956
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 2: but they're not causing problems for everybody else.

957
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 3: So you know.

958
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: We take problems based on the order of importance and priority,

959
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 2: I think, and that's how our focus should be distributed.

960
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: They have nothing to say about these Iranian countries. They

961
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: have no problem I'm sorry with these Iranian actions. They

962
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: have no problem with it, or at least they don't

963
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: feel the need to vocalize that it's only America that

964
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 2: they're willing to speak out against and trash. And I

965
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: just think that goes to the unseeriousness of so much

966
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 2: of the anti American commentariat in general. And these are

967
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: people who only find fault. It actually reminds me a

968
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: lot of the anti Israel commentariat. They'll criticize Israel, have

969
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 2: nothing to say about about Gaza being run by Hamas

970
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 2: as a terrorist state for as long as it was,

971
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 2: and what an awful place it is and how in

972
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 2: so many of these countries, you know, there's this there's

973
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 2: this perfect correlay with regimes that hate Israel and hate

974
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: Jews and horrible, crappy countries that nobody wants to live in,

975
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: really and that have nothing but misery and despair as

976
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: their primary day to day existence.

977
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: There's a one hundred percent correlation.

978
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of amazing, isn't it in a lot of

979
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: the countries that hate Israel the most, and they're the

980
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: crappiest places in many cases.

981
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 3: In the world.

982
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: And the people who speak out against Israel, and you

983
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 2: see this even in the United Nations have nothing to say,

984
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: not a word to say about tyranny and oppression and

985
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 2: violence and disgusting behavior from Muslims who are running the

986
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: show in Gaza, or from Muslims who have been running

987
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: Iran into the ground.

988
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 3: For I mean, Iran should be a really nice country.

989
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 3: You ever noticed something.

990
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to visit this place. It's not safe now, obviously,

991
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 2: but I mean in general, like no one wants Americans.

992
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: We can't go to Iran.

993
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 3: We can't see all.

994
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: The beautiful architecture and the history and eat the pistachios

995
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: and buy the carpets.

996
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 3: We can't do all this, which is just shameful.

997
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 2: And really very few people can and will do any

998
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,959
Speaker 2: of this because you cannot trust that government at all.

999
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 2: They may decide to grab you to make an example

1000
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: of you, because it's a They're a fundamentally immoral regime,

1001
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 2: a fundamentally evil regime. And the people that have done

1002
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: all these things, they're not going to get better, They're

1003
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 2: not going to improve. And so finally Trump, I think,

1004
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: makes the decision we at least have to raise the

1005
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: cost of doing business for these maniacs, and I think

1006
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 2: that's a big part of why we're currently bombing their

1007
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: military into smithereens.

1008
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 5: And that's why ultimately this story might be that we

1009
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 5: just I think you use the mode the grass analogy

1010
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 5: where ultimately we destroy as much as we can, we leave,

1011
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 5: and we say, hey, in five years, we may have to.

1012
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 3: Come back and do this again.

1013
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 5: And that's assuming that we don't get actually people rising up. Okay,

1014
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 5: I mentioned that we would play a couple of cuts

1015
00:52:55,160 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 5: from the A from the Oscars Buck. This is CHARITHA Chandrin,

1016
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 5: who I'm sure I mispronounced her name. She is an

1017
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 5: actor in Bridgerton, So this is perfect. I don't know

1018
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 5: what else she was in, but she was on the

1019
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 5: red carpet and they asked her why she was speaking out,

1020
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 5: and she said, she's demanding a cease fire in Gaza.

1021
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 5: Now that happened six months ago, but she's maybe a

1022
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 5: little bit behind. This is Hollywood actress jarethra Chandrain listen

1023
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 5: cut thirty.

1024
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 10: It's an artist to see spire pen and what we

1025
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 10: are demanding as a ceasepire in Gaza. And I think

1026
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 10: that I am so blessed to have a platform and

1027
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 10: this is the least I can do to use it.

1028
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 10: And like, sometimes the news cycle is so fast and

1029
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 10: people move on, but the people in Gaza in the

1030
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 10: West Bank are still suffering. So yeah, just bringing attention

1031
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 10: to that.

1032
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, the ceasefire started six months ago, So great job.

1033
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 5: You've done an incredible phenomenal job of being on top

1034
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 5: of the news.

1035
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 2: But you just have to remember, I'd never heard of

1036
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: this person before. She's obviously an actress. The point of

1037
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 2: her saying these things is not has nothing.

1038
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 3: To do with COSA. Yeah, this is you always have

1039
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 3: to remember this.

1040
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 2: This is true about libs, about leftists, about democrats and

1041
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: the global left in general. The causes are largely irrelevant.

1042
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: It's what taking the side of the cause says about

1043
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 2: them to their peers. So her saying this, you know,

1044
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 2: you could say, hey, I'm here to save the Dodo bird,

1045
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: and something could pull her side, like Dodo bird's been extinct,

1046
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 2: honey for like one hundred and something years. Doesn't matter.

1047
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 2: She wants you to know she's an environmentally conscious person.

1048
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 2: Like the stupidity, the lack of geopolitical knowledge or even curiosity, Clay,

1049
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 2: it's not a problem. The whole point is your declaration

1050
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 2: of fealty to the thing, to the current thing that

1051
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 2: people have to pretend care about so that other people

1052
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 2: around them think they're a good person. And that's all

1053
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: this really is. And unfortunately this is very powerful, the

1054
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 2: kind of thing that in Manufactured Delusion, a great book

1055
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 2: you should all get. By the way, if you have

1056
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 2: not already New York Times bestseller, go get your copy.

1057
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 3: But it's in there.

1058
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 5: I would love to have had a microphone or maybe

1059
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 5: just an audio transcript of some of the conversations she

1060
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 5: had with people as to your point. They all said,

1061
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 5: it's so great of you to use your platform to

1062
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 5: speak out against the war that's continuing in Gaza, because

1063
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 5: they also have no idea that there's been a ceasefire

1064
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 5: for six months. But I did say we would play

1065
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 5: a nice thing from the Oscars. You may have seen this,

1066
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 5: buck I saw it on social media a little bit ago.

1067
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 5: Best Actress winner Jesse Buckley from Hamnett that don't know

1068
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 5: who she is, did not see this movie, but she

1069
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 5: decided to use her acceptance speech to praise marriage and

1070
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 5: promote motherhood. This was, actually, I'm told, quite nice cut twenty.

1071
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 11: Two you'd I love you, man, I love you. You're

1072
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 11: the most incredible dad. You're my best friend, and I

1073
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 11: want to have twenty thousand more babies with you.

1074
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 9: I do. I do.

1075
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 11: And Aila my little girl who is eight months, who

1076
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 11: has absolutely no idea what's going on and is probably

1077
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 11: dreaming of milk. But this is kind of a big deal.

1078
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 11: And I love you and I love being your mom

1079
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 11: and I can't wait to discover life beside you. It's

1080
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 11: Mother's Day in the UK today, so I would like

1081
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 11: to dedicate this to the beautiful chaos of a mother's heart.

1082
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 5: So very positive there. I didn't know it was Mother's

1083
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 5: day in the UK over the weekend. Happy Mother's Day

1084
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 5: to all the moms in the UK listening to us

1085
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 5: right now.

1086
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 3: Maybe there's two or three, but I thought that was

1087
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 3: pretty great.

1088
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 5: So we wanted to at least share a positive that

1089
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 5: did happen last night on the oscars. Get married and

1090
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 5: have ca it's a good thing to do, all right, Buck,

1091
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 5: You've got us going into this break, and then we've

1092
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 5: got some laughs for you, a lot of very good talkbacks.

1093
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 5: I've seen a preview and we'll have some fun with those.

1094
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 5: But first, Buck, take us away.

1095
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 3: Think about this.

1096
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: Twenty years ago, in two thousand and six, twenty thousand

1097
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 2: dollars could buy you roughly thirty three ounces of gold. Today,

1098
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 2: those same thirty three ounces would be worth roughly one

1099
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Smart Americans diversify a portion

1100
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 2: of their savings into precious metals like gold because the

1101
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: likelihood of increased.

1102
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 3: Value is very high.

1103
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 2: Just think how smart those buying gold twenty years ago

1104
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 2: feel today. You likely will have the very same sensation

1105
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: if you purchase gold today and check the scoreboard in

1106
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 2: twenty years like twenty forty six.

1107
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 3: That's why I've.

1108
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: Been buying more gold from Birch Gold Group important part

1109
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: of my balance strategy. Gold increases in value when inflation spikes,

1110
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: when there's uncertainty in the world, and when investors see

1111
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: it as a better investment than cash in the retirement account.

1112
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 2: See if holding gold in a tax sheltered retirement account

1113
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: is right for you. Birch Gold can help you convert

1114
