1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again. 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts. Now, everyone 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: out there who spent their weekend wasting a beautiful fall 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: Saturday to protest, you have had tremendous success. You have 6 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: managed to ensure that President Trump is not in fact 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: a king, and you have reiterated the fact that we 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: won the Revolutionary War in seventeen eighty three and once 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: and for all kicked the king to the curb. This 10 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: is I think we could have some fun with this 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: right off the jump, Buck, I so. 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 2: Let me give you a little bit. 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: Remember I said, I bet that the momentum to get 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: the government shut down to the extent that people are 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: worried about the government shut down, that it would drastically 16 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: change as soon as the No King's protest was over. 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: There is now evidently a lot of momentum for the 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: government shutdown to be ended. They may drag it on 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: through the elections if they think they get some form 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: of benefit in Virginia, New Jersey, or New York City 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: over the government shutdown, but there now is momentum that 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: there may be a resolution there and I think this 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: was to a large extent, just the Chuck Schumers and 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffreyes of the world, knowing that a no King's 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: protest was coming. If they bent the knee to King 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: Trump before the protest, it would have stripped whatever modicum 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: of energy might still have existed in these mostly old 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: white people protests. That looks frankly, quite pathetic and bedraggled. 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: As we said when we went to the drove through 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: the protest in the cold rain in January of twenty 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: twenty five, as Trump was preparing to be inaugurated. So 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: all of this feels like a big nothing burger, so 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: to speak. But they are arguing, Oh my goodness, this 34 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: is amazing. What was your takeaway? We did Fox News 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: together on Saturday morning, right before the no Kings protests 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: took off. 37 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: With our friend. 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: Kaylee mcananey. But the whole thing is just it just 39 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: feels desperate, and every time they do one of these 40 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: protests they feel less efficient and less effective and just 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: make me feel sad for the protesters more than anything else. 42 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: Well, this just shows you where the state of things 43 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 3: currently lies. They are really ineffective at coming up with 44 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: something that sounds cool. 45 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: And has teeth behind it. 46 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: So much so that they're doing this thing that you 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 3: ask yourself immediately, what is the point of this? If 48 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: there was a no Purple Sky protest, you would say 49 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: to yourself, right, yeah, big, big success. We're good, Like 50 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: we've got that covered. Trump is obviously not a king. 51 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: This sounds very emotionally erratic and unstable, this whole notion 52 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: of Donald Trump as a monarch. They have a guy 53 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: here who is constantly having to go to corps to 54 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 3: deal with this federal judge or that federal judge. You 55 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: got the government shut down because of what Congress is doing. 56 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: There is no reason for people to act like this. 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: Although I really do believe the only proper response to 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: the No King's protest would be to have Trump twenty 59 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: twenty eight rallies. Not that I actually think Trump is 60 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: going to run in twenty eight, but it'll just really 61 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: dig in more to these lunatics. This is one of 62 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: these times where they can't even find what the primary 63 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: issue is, or they can't come up with what they 64 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: are most upset about, so they've just created did this. 65 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: You know? It reminds me like the Women's March. 66 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Yeah, the Women's March was really just code 67 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: for like abortion and also like a lot of like 68 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: feminists who hate Trump because he's clearly not you know, 69 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: Trump is not selling the feminists are going to be 70 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: particularly fond of. And then there was a hashtag resistance 71 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: for a while, but everyone stopped using hashtags. Really, you 72 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: don't even really, I don't see them on social media anymore. 73 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: They're too annoying. People don't use them. So hashtag resistance 74 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: wasn't really good. Black Lives Matter was a statement of 75 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: the obvious and true that was effective in its time 76 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: because of the emotional manipulation that they were able to 77 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: put behind it. 78 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: But this just it's just weak. It's sad. 79 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 3: This is, to me, Clay, the expansion of what we 80 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 3: saw at the anti inauguration protest, which was a bunch 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: of people that don't even really know why they're there. 82 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: They're just upset and they want to be around other 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: upset people. It was really a loser fest. Yes, and 84 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: and I and actually a lot of sad exclamation point 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: is what you feel when you see this. Because also, 86 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: what's the great purpose of this mobilization, so that maybe 87 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 3: they can take a midterm advantage and they'll be able 88 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: to get the House and they'll probably impeach Trump for 89 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: the third time. 90 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: It be the third third time. That's it. 91 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: I mean, Trump's not going to be president all that 92 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: much longer. They should maybe come up with why does 93 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: the rational part of the country think that the Democrat 94 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: Party is insane? And how can they stop being so crazy? 95 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 3: Instead of these very silly and self indulgent protests. It's 96 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 3: all very childish. 97 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and frankly, I mean, you said what Joe Rogan said, 98 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: and I'll play cut nine here in a sec. But 99 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: you know what's interesting more than anything else, is I 100 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: think and I tweeted something because I just I can't 101 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: imagine and I understand that not all of you are 102 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: college football diehards like I am, but I do think 103 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: it is a sign of where we are in America, 104 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: whatever you're part of the country that you're listening to 105 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: us or watching us in right now is mid October 106 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: is maybe the greatest time of the year. The weather 107 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: tends to be really good almost everywhere. We're getting close 108 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: to Halloween. It's the fall season kind of starting to 109 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: kick off. In earnest to give up a beautiful Saturday 110 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: to go walk around and protest a democratically elected president 111 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: eleven months ago when he won the landslide election. I 112 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: just and I watched the videos because I was genuinely 113 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: curious who's going to show up. There is just a segment, 114 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: I would say, of people age fifty to seventy five, 115 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: primarily who Trump is just broken. 116 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: Well, this is boomers, a lot of boomers who are 117 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: trying to relive the night preceding glory of the sixties. Yes, 118 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 3: that's really what this is. And a lot of this 119 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: stuff you see with this, The left has a protest culture. 120 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: I've been to many of these protests to cover them 121 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: or to take photos and video of what they're doing, 122 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: and they they really feel the need the same way 123 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: that you're annoying liberal and at Thanksgiving is going to 124 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: feel the need to give you her very uninformed opinions 125 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: on politics, even when you just want to have some 126 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: stuffing and like go home, you don't want to deal 127 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: with it. These particular these libs and of the kind 128 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: that we're talking about, really think that showing up and 129 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: being a quote part of something like this is some 130 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: profound statement of their own worth and importance and it's 131 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: actually just sad they should have gone to a college 132 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: If I'm not even a big college football guy, Yes, 133 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: if I had the choice of go in any college 134 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: football game in America or one of these pro tests, 135 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: it's one hundred times more fun and enjoyable and worthwhile 136 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: to go to a college football game. 137 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: Amen, even though Alabama kicked Tennessee's ass, which is really unfortunate. 138 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: I will say, also, you hit on it. In the 139 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, the energy for protests came from young people, 140 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: and those of you who lived through the nineteen sixties 141 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: reremind remember that, well, the vast majority of people at 142 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: the No King's protests were over the age of sixty five. 143 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: And I do think there's an element of what you're saying, Buck, 144 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: which is these people picked their team in the nineteen sixties, 145 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: and they don't even realize that they now are the 146 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 1: opposite of the protests that they were having in the 147 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. They are now protesting in favor of big 148 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: government and in favor of all of the things that 149 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: censorship censor. Savor of censorship, Yeah, that's right, and so 150 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: that is an irony. Here's Joe Rogan pointing out that 151 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: the No Kings protesters ninety nine percent of them are losers. 152 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 4: All those people that are protesting on the streets, ninety 153 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: nine percent of them are losers. The other ones work 154 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: for the Fed, FBI agents and losers. 155 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: So it is the whole. 156 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: Every protest dude is FBI agents and losers. 157 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: I talk about this all the time. 158 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 4: I'm like, for me, you want me to join a protest, 159 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 4: you want me to get it on the street first 160 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: of all. 161 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: To make a sign out here, and then I still 162 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: make the sign. 163 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 4: There's a guy with a van who's paid by George Soros, 164 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: and he's got stats signs that were made at Kinko's. Okay, 165 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 4: they're not homemade at all, and you just just pass 166 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: those bad boys out. 167 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: It is very funny. They are complete losers and they 168 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: wasteed it fall Saturday, and here's President Trump, who was 169 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: asked about it, cut one. I'm not a king. I'm 170 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: working my ass off to make our country great. This 171 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: was on Air Force One yesterday weekend. 172 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: The New Kings. 173 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: I think it's a joke. 174 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 6: I looked at the people, they're not representative of this country. 175 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 6: And I looked at all the brand new signs I 176 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 6: guess it was paid for by Sarus, another radical left lunatics. 177 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 6: It looks like it was. We're checking it out. The 178 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 6: demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people who 179 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 6: are whacked out when you look at those people, those 180 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 6: are not representative of the people of. 181 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: Our counjund. 182 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 5: San Francisco. 183 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 6: And I'm not a king. 184 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 5: I'm not a king. 185 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 6: I work my ass off to make our country great, 186 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 6: That's all it is. 187 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm not a king at all. So Trump is not 188 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: a king. 189 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: They were successful if their goal was to stop a 190 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: king from being in power. Isn't this also really an 191 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: admission though, that Trump politically has defeated them. Yes, if 192 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: you're concerned with a president who has been elected twice 193 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: despite all of your efforts to stop both of those 194 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: from happening, and your concern is this idea that now 195 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: he's president for life and therefore more like a king. 196 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: I think they're just they're recognizing that they did everything 197 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: they could to stop Donald Trump from being president for 198 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: eight years and they fail, so now they create this 199 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: It's like don Quixote tilting at windmills, that they create 200 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: this fantasy in their minds of well, now our great 201 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: cause play is to stop him from being president for life. 202 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 3: Yes, he's not going to be president for life, you losers. Okay, 203 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: take a calm down moment here, take a chill pill. 204 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: As we used to say in the nineties. 205 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: Relax. 206 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: Well, they can't because that would make them think about 207 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: what they're actually doing with their life. I think it 208 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: also is embodies the fact that the Trump resistance is 209 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: effectively broken everywhere but the judiciary. The judiciary is constantly 210 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: making rulings to try to take away President Trump's power. 211 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 3: And that's why much of the discussion that we have 212 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: about what Trump can and cannot do is not about 213 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: what the Democrat Party is trying to stop him from doing. 214 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: It's what is some unelected federal district court judge doing 215 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: when they're trying to say, Hey, the president doesn't have 216 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: power to order this or take that action. And it 217 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 3: just kind of feels increasingly pathetic. And Trump, according to 218 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: many different polls that I have seen out there, is 219 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: at right now probably his strongest political position in terms 220 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: of approval that he has had during the course of 221 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: his presidency. We really haven't seen any weakening at all. 222 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: As we come up on the one year anniversary of 223 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: his election in twenty twenty four, and he's having one 224 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: of the most I think effective presidencies first years that 225 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: we've ever seen in the history of the country. 226 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck 227 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: just something. 228 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to close the loopon Clay on the No 229 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: Kings protest situation. I think that they're trying so hard, 230 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: but I think they're also realizing this just doesn't have punch. 231 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: This doesn't have the I don't care how they can 232 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 3: tell me that seven million, they can tell me seventy million. 233 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: I it doesn't matter how many individuals with nothing better 234 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: to do. I think your take on this, which I saw, 235 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 3: went viral, and understand why I did. I liked it. 236 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: I like it. It was a good take. 237 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: If this is the best thing you have to do 238 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 3: with your weekend, you should really think more about what 239 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: you have to do with your weekend. Yes, this is 240 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: a This is not a worthwhile usage of anyone's time. 241 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: They're trying though, over at MSNBC, Nicole Wallace, This is 242 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 3: Cut twenty two is trying to say that this is member. 243 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: Former Republican bush Person Nicole Wallace says that This is 244 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: the new opposition in America, led by the people, Play 245 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: twenty two. 246 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 7: It is the people's right to exercise free speech and 247 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 7: to criticize their elected leaders at the top of their lungs. 248 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 7: And that that very thing is what makes America great. 249 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 7: That is what makes America America, is what makes us 250 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 7: special all around the world until right now. John Trump 251 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 7: showed the world but he thinks of the American people 252 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 7: by literally broadcasting an image of himself pouring feces all 253 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 7: over America and the American people The note Kings protests 254 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 7: clearly getting deep under Donald Trump's skin over the weekend. 255 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 7: But more importantly, the protests show the contours of a 256 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 7: new opposition in America, one led by the people. According 257 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 7: to the organizers, seven million people came out to protest 258 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 7: Donald Trump on Saturday. 259 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: Play. 260 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: Notice how we're not even sure what they're protesting other 261 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: than Trump, who's not going to be president a beyond 262 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 3: the next three years, not even running again. And the 263 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: notion that they're getting under Trump's skin with is no 264 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: actually you want to. We know Trump both in the 265 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: from his work but also as a guy, he thinks 266 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: that these people are just sad. He actually thinks that 267 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 3: they're sad and silly. 268 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: Even if so, I think. 269 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: There's several things here. One I personally happen to believe, 270 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: if you wasted a beautiful fall Saturday protesting Donald Trump, 271 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: you are a huge loser. I think most people out 272 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: there saw this and saw the protesters and said, you're 273 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: all huge losers too. Here is a secondary part of this. 274 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: What is the goal of a protest? To me, the 275 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: goal of a protest is to bring attention to an 276 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: issue and get people to recognize that you are correct. 277 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the goal of this protest, because 278 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: I think in a social media era, protests used to 279 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: be about trying to persuade people to reconsider their position 280 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: and join another one. Now, I think protest is just 281 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: brand extension for people who already hate Trump to take 282 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: photos of themselves and post on Facebook or Instagram or 283 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: Twitter or wherever they're active blue sky showing how much 284 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: they hate Trump. Buck around seventy million people voted against 285 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: Trump in the twenty twenty four election. Let's say that 286 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: that number that they put out there is accurate, and 287 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: seven million people nationwide showed up to protest Trump. That 288 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: would mean that ninety percent of the people who voted 289 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: against Trump had something better to do than show up 290 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: on Saturday and continue to protest Trump. That to me 291 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: is what kind of stands out. And did those seven 292 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: million people persuade anyone that Trump was a king and 293 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: that they should oppose him. No, I think they actually 294 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: probably created more Trump supporters, which is why I come 295 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: to the purpose of this protest is about allowing the 296 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: protesters to feel better about themselves, not to change any 297 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: trajectory of the country. 298 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: You remember when you were a kid and you would 299 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: say to somebody maybe or you would hear someone say, 300 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: you're not the boss of me? Yes, And I think 301 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: that that's generally not a good way to approach things 302 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: because by saying it, the implication is that maybe somebody, 303 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: including that person, could think they are the boss of you. Yeah, 304 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: you know, like you are getting bossed around. The no 305 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: kings thing, we're not. No one's saying that he's a 306 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: king except for the people who hate him, which to 307 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: me is coming at this from a position of weakness. 308 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: It's also coming at it from a position of absurdity. 309 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: You know, it would be like if they said Trump's 310 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: not like king of the you know, Emperor of the 311 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 3: Universe like or you know Master of the Universe, remember 312 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 3: that from the old he Man days. No he's not, 313 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: but why are you taking it there? It's a strange 314 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: place just psychologically to go. And Batia Hungar Sargon, this 315 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 3: is twenty three she is. She's not having any of 316 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: this either, because they're saying, the guy's not a king. 317 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: He just won. 318 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 3: Massively a free and fair election, so why are we 319 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 3: even talking about him being a king. It's like, the 320 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: guy's the fastest one in the race, and you're saying, well, 321 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: is he really the fastest? 322 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he is, play twenty three. 323 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 8: She is a person who is enacting the exact agenda 324 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 8: he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning. 325 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 8: And so what they're actually protesting is the absolute perfection 326 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 8: of American democracy, where a person campaigned on an agenda, 327 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 8: won the popular vote, and is now enacting that agenda. 328 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 8: So it was actually a protest of democracy. 329 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: All of which is. 330 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 8: To say, the only way to break such a preposterous 331 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 8: proposition calling this a no King's rally when it's actually 332 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 8: an anti democracy rally is to crap on it, I'm sorry, 333 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 8: is to basically make fun of it, and I think 334 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 8: that that has been the Trump administration's approach. They didn't 335 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 8: try to stop it, God forbid, because he's not a king. 336 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 8: They allowed them to have their say, they allowed them 337 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 8: to go out there, and then they made fun of them. 338 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: I don't agree with the bathroom humor necessarily approached, but 339 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: but mocking it absolutely. 340 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: I also think this goes to we talked about during 341 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election that calling somebody Hitler and 342 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: calling somebody a Nazi wasn't working. So they tried to 343 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: move and say he's a fascist. And I said, fascist 344 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: is not going to work because frankly, it's a complicated word. 345 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: People don't even know what it means. It certainly most 346 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: people can't spell fascist, probably in America. And now they've 347 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: moved on to no kings. But I don't think king 348 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: has a super negative connotation. So even if you were 349 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: trying to persuade people, no dictators, okay, I might say, hey, 350 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: no dictators, no kings. I just I think their messaging 351 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: is really bad. Does that make sense? Like if you 352 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: tell me somebody's Hitler and then you move from their 353 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: Hitler to well, maybe not Hitler. But they're Nazis to well, 354 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: maybe not Nazis, but fascist. Maybe not fascist, but kings. 355 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: Every step down actually the assault, the attack becomes less 356 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: inflammatory and less negative, Right like if I had to say, hey, Hitler, 357 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: Nazi fascist king, A king is not that awful, right, 358 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: They've been pretty good kings over the years. Some king's 359 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: really good. And so I just they're failing at messaging. 360 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: They don't really know, they're just kind of flailing around. 361 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: This shutdown is a perfect example because I can't even 362 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: really figure out what they want, and I don't think 363 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: they know what they want, and so all of this 364 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: has just turned into I think, a huge ridiculous mess, 365 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: and I think it ultimately benefits Trump, and I don't 366 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: think that they're motivating or influencing anybody. Isn't that kind 367 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: of interesting to think about ninety percent of even the 368 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: people who voted against Trump had something better to do 369 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: on October eighteenth, on a fine Saturday than show up 370 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: in protest against Trump. They can't even get the people 371 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: who voted against Trump to show up ten months later 372 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: and talk about how awful Trump is. So I think 373 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: this is just yet another failure. You're listening to Team 374 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: forty seven with Clay and Buck. 375 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: This was quite a moment. 376 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 3: President Trump revealing earlier today that for any troops who 377 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: are going to be missing a pay check, an anonymous 378 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 3: obviously pro Trump or Trump supporting donor has written a 379 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 3: check to the government for a well, i'll let the 380 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 3: presidents say it. 381 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: Play two. 382 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 5: A friend of mine talking about donors. A friend of mine, 383 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 5: a man that's great. I'm not going to use his 384 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 5: name unless he lets me do it as soon as 385 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 5: he can tell you about this, but he was. He 386 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 5: called us the other day and he said, I'd like 387 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 5: to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrats shutdown. 388 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 5: I'd like to contribute personally, contribute any shortfall you have 389 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 5: with the military, because I love the military and I 390 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 5: love the country, and any shortfall, if there's a shortfall, 391 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 5: ILL contributed. And today he sent us a check for 392 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty million dollars. I would love to 393 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 5: tell you he deserves. He doesn't really want the recognition, 394 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 5: if you want to another truth, but he gave us 395 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 5: a check for one hundred and thirty million dollars and 396 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 5: that's going to go, which was sort of a short fot. Yeah, 397 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 5: and that's going to go to the military. 398 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Clay, it's quite a check, quite a check to stroke. 399 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: There's not that many people who could stroke that check. 400 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: So I think we could probably limit it. What do 401 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: you think there? I mean, to actually be able to 402 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: cut a check for one hundred and thirty million dollars, 403 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: I would think there's probably I don't know a thousand 404 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: people in the United States that could actually. 405 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 2: Think it might have been Elon maybe, right, I mean, 406 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: clearly has the money. 407 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it would be. It would be a great 408 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: move if it were Elon. I think it's a great 409 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: move for anybody. And I think what Trump is pointing 410 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: out here, I. 411 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 2: Could see Elon doing it, but not wanting the hubbub 412 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: around him. That's why I thought maybe. But that's it. 413 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: By the way, that's a total guess. I do not know. 414 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: I do believe that this is where the Democrats shut 415 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: down is again. I think they are only calculus is 416 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: they're worried about Virginia and they believe nor Virginia workers 417 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: are going to show up because they bought the idea 418 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: that this is Trump's fault. They couldn't do anything before 419 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: the No Kings protest. I suspect after the election. So 420 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: what are we talking at now, ten days basically until 421 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five elections are taking place. I suspect 422 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: they'll probably get a deal done. But I do at 423 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: this point have a great deal of sympathy for the 424 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: people out there that are living as much of us are, 425 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: and certainly as I have. And you have before paycheck 426 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: to paycheck, and so if your paycheck is being held up, 427 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: even if you know you're going to eventually get it 428 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: with your back pay, it can be very, very frustrating. 429 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: For mortgages, for car payments, for groceries, for general life experiences. 430 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: Most people can't go a month without a paycheck, and 431 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: now we're talking about that potentially being an holding pattern, 432 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: And I get why that's very frustrating. I think Democrats 433 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: are playing politics here and failing when it comes to 434 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: being able to do their most basic job. And I 435 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: give credit. I don't know, if you saw this buck, 436 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: maybe we can grab it and play it. Senator Dave McCormick, 437 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: Republican of Pennsylvania and Senator John Fetterman, Democrat of Pennsylvania 438 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: did a statement on the steps of the capital saying, hey, 439 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: this shouldn't be partisan in nature. Let's go ahead and 440 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: open the government back up and continue to spend as 441 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: we had agreed that we were going to spend. And frankly, 442 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: there need to be other sane Democrats who come out alongside. 443 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: I think there are three buck if I'm not mistaken, 444 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: right now, that have been willing to vote to reopen 445 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: the government on the side of the Senate. You have 446 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: to get to sixty, which means there has to be 447 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: seven Democrats that are willing to do it, and I 448 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: think three have so far, one from New Hampshire, one 449 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: from Michigan, I believe, and one from Sorry, one from Georgia, 450 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: one from Pennsylvania I think, And I know there's been 451 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: a lot of votes. It's a little bit confusing, but 452 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: we need seven Democrats essentially to be willing to do 453 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: this to open back up the government. 454 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 2: We'll see where it goes. 455 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 3: It's gone on longer than I anticipated, a lot of 456 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 3: people anticipated, so the pressure is certainly mounting.
