I appreciate all of you hanging out 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: with us. Lots of different stories we have been talking about. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: It is the one year anniversary of Joe Biden announcing 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: that he was going to be dropping out of the race, 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: and for some reason, Hunter Biden has decided to step 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: himself into the midst of all of these different stories. 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: By the way, one bit of bad news that is 9 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: starting to circulate for those of you who grew up 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: or as adults watched The Cosby Show Malcolm Jamal Warner, 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: that is THEO from The Cosby Show dead according to 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: TMZ of a potential they're saying drowning. But for those 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: of you out there who grew up in the nineteen 14 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: eighties or raised kids in the nineteen eighties Cosby Show, 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: very popular show, and THEO on The Cosby Show one 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: of the most popular characters on that show fifty four 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: years old in that in that outcome awful situation in general. Okay, 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to play a couple of these buck and 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: then we're going to dive into the Colvert story, which 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: I think is really worthy of discussing in many ways, 21 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: but we talked about a lot of different aspects of 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: the decision by Joe Biden to drop out. Here is 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden going off on George Clooney, James Carvel and 24 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: other Democrats for helping to oust his dad. Cut thirty. 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Listen to this, lots of expletives bleeped. I hope we 26 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: caught him all here. 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: It is Jim and everybody around him. I don't have 28 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: to be nice. Number one. I agree with Quentin Tarantino. 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: George Plooney is not an actor. He is a I 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: don't know what he is. He's a brand. And by 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: the way, and God bless him, you know what. He's fuzzily, 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: treats his friends really well, and he's great friends with 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: Barack Olama. You what do you have to do with anything? 34 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: Why do I have to listen to you? What right 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: do you have to step on a man who's given 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: fifty two years of his life to the services of 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going 38 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: to take out basically a full page ad in New 39 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: York Times to me and James Carville, who hasn't run 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 2: a race in forty years, and David Axelrod who had 41 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: won success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama. 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: And that was because of Barack Obama, not because of 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 2: David Axelrod and David Pluff and all of these guys. 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: They're all going to insert their judgment over a man 45 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get 46 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: elected to the United States Senate over seven times, how 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: to pass more legislation than any president in history, how 48 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: to have a better midterm election than anybody in history, 49 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: and how to garner more votes than any president that 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: has ever wruon. And they're going to replace their judgment 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: for his. 52 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, why is Hunter suddenly doing all of this media book. 53 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I'll give you my theory. You tell me if you 54 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: sign on or if this is crazy. I think Hunter 55 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: is testing the ground to potentially run for political office. 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: I love it when you do. When you go now, 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: now I get to say, you're out of your mind. 58 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: That's the good. I just why else your Pennsylvania monument idea? 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Very smart, very good idea. I have to say this 60 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: is this is Clay throwing one into the end zone 61 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: and now they're running it back for a pick six. 62 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: My friend, this is this is just crazy talk. I 63 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: don't understand why he would be suddenly breaking all of 64 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: his political silence. Now you can say, okay, well, he's 65 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: just gonna try to defend his dad because he thinks 66 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: his dad has been attacked too much and nobody else 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: is publicly doing it. Okay, but if you were going 68 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: to do that, do you do it in these podcasts 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: where there's your do I think Hunter sees himself this 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: is not what I am signing on to. I think 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: Hunter actually believes that he's super smart, that he's strategically brilliant, 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: and that I think Hunter in some way has convinced 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: himself that his dad is both of those things too, 74 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: and that he is the Biden legacy that can defend 75 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: his dad going forward. And so this is I'm trying 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: to analyze why in the world this would happen. Let 77 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: me else, you play this for you. We talked about 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: why June twenty seventh was so bad, and I came 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: on and said, and somebody can go pull it on 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: the team. I'm pretty sure, I said. The House of 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Card story here would be that usually he gets a 82 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: drug shot, right that would be an upper and instead 83 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: of giving him the Upper. They gave him the Downer instead, 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: and so what allowed him to go out at the 85 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: State of the Union. I think beyond the shadow of 86 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: a doubt they would shoot him up with stuff. Is 87 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: suddenly they did the opposite. Hunter Biden came out and 88 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: basically said this. He said they had him on ambion. 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: That's why he was performing so poorly at the debate. 90 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 91 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: around the world basically, and the mileage that he could 93 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: have flown around the world three times. Yeah, he's eighty 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: one years old, he's tired of give him ambient. 95 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: To be able to sleep. 96 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: He gets up on the stage and he looks like 97 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: he's a deer in the headlights. 98 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: So I think that all of this is very interesting. 99 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: My theory again House of Card style, for those of 100 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: you who remember the television show, is it would have 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: been an episode where they give him a shot and 102 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: instead of the Upper, it's the Downer, and he goes 103 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: out and his political career is over. To say, hey, 104 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: he was taken ambient because he wasn't having trouble sleeping. 105 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: They were trying to get his energy back. Up. This 106 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: is why I've never taken an ambient, by the way, 107 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: because it feels like every time I get on an 108 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: airplane to go anywhere, I have to wake up and 109 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: work the next day, and I'm always afraid that the 110 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: ambient will linger. I don't know how many people take ambient. 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: I've never taken it, but that I won't have the 112 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: energy I need to be able to do my job. 113 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: But this is now taking over the news cycle. Hunter 114 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: Biden has decided to parachute in cannonball style right into 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: otherwise quiet season of summer vacation time, and now, well, 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: this is going to be leading everything. Even seeing in 117 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: an MSNBC, I think I don't know Hunter Biden. I 118 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: just I can't bring myself to think that this is 119 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: going to be anything that anyone really goes with or 120 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: cares about very much. The guy's a mess, and the 121 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: guy was always a giant drag on his father's political fortunes, 122 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: and his dad was a jerk and a fraud. So 123 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: I think that he's a baby and he's acting out. 124 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't see this as any kind of strategic move. 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: I think this is just a former drug addict and 126 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: spoiled Bratt throwing a tantrum on podcast that'll have him 127 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: for attention. I don't. I don't think there is a 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: higher move. By the way, If you are right and 129 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: he does end up running for office, I don't know. 130 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what's happened in the world, but that 131 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: would be that would be the most outrageous call anyone's 132 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: ever made. So I'm not working down. I'm not saying 133 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: that he would be a good candidate. I actually would 134 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: like for him to run. I would just if he 135 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: just ran, you get and he could get smoked and 136 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: get one percent of the vote, and I would still say, 137 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: your call here is astonishing, because Clay, the first fifty 138 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: people that I would walk past on the street here 139 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: in Miami are better suited to any political office than Hunter. 140 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Biden is the first random fifty people that I see, 141 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: without exception, I could just pick the first fifty people 142 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: I walked past. I think that he likely has bought 143 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: into the idea again that he is the smartest man 144 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's ever known, that he has unique political talents, gifts. 145 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's irrational, reasonable, or in any 146 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: way reflected in reality. I just think this is the 147 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing that ultimately ends up someone decides to run. 148 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I hope he does, all right. Second part here, we 149 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: mentioned this because the news was breaking basically when we 150 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: were on the air. If I remember correctly that we 151 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: had on Friday, I think news came out or I 152 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: guess it was Thursday night, whatever it was. That Colbert 153 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: was being anseled, and his final guest before the cancelation 154 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: announcement or was Adam Schiff, which was perfect. I'm surprised 155 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: at the degree to which Democrats have lined up to 156 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: argue that this is unacceptable, and I want to hit 157 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: you with a couple of stats because I was reading 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: a lot about this over the weekend. First of all, 159 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: the Colbert Report costs over one hundred million dollars to air, 160 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars for a TV show. My jaw 161 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: dropped when I saw that. Now there's different reports that 162 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Colbert made either fifteen or twenty million dollars, and the 163 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: show was losing forty million dollars, so it was a 164 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: very unsuccessful business enterprise. Democrats have uniformly lined up to say, hey, 165 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: this is CBS trying to curry favor with Trump. I 166 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: just look at it and say, I can't imagine being 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: on a show that loses forty million dollars a year, 168 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: and when the show gets canceled, the argument being, Hey, 169 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: this is all political. This is an example of how totalitarianism, 170 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: how fascism spreads. We got some audio of this I 171 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: want to play, but I want us to be able 172 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: to react because we know a little bit of something 173 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: about doing media. This is Senator Chris Murphy saying, we're 174 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: on the precipice of entering a censorship state. Listen to 175 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: cut thirty two. 176 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: I want to tell you why the cancelation of Stephen 177 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: Colbert's show matters so much. We are on the precipice 178 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 3: of entering a censorship state in which Donald Trump is 179 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 3: using the powers of the federal government in order to 180 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: erase criticism from the airwaves. What's happening at CBS right 181 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: now is bone chilling. Stephen Colbert didn't get thrown off 182 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: the air because he wasn't doing well. 183 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: He was the highest. 184 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: Rated show on TV in late night. He was canceled 185 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: very likely because Paramount and its owners are trying to 186 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: get rich off of this merger, and Donald Trump has 187 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 3: made it clear to them and everybody else in the 188 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: media space that if you want any favors from me, 189 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: then you have to silence my critics on your platforms. 190 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: Delusional. His whole analysis is delusional. Stephen Colbert destroyed not 191 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: just the Tonight Show or the Late Show, which went 192 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: to the Late Show Tonight Show, Late Show. Yeah, Late 193 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: Show destroyed the Late Show, but he destroyed Late Night's comedy. 194 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: I think because he created a dynamic where the other 195 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: guys all also followed in with their anti Trump madness 196 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: and just brought the whole thing down. It's kind of 197 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: what happened at CNN, similar what happened over at CNN 198 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: where the hosts that we're rating in twenty sixteen were 199 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: the hosts who were anti Trump twenty four to seven. 200 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Don Lemon was the top rated 201 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: CNN host for a while in the demo, top rated 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: across the entire channel. Why every night was just oh 203 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: my gosh, Donald Trump, Donald Trump is so evil, and 204 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: that was working for a little bit, but then the 205 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: rest of the channel followed suit and they destroyed the 206 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: whole thing. Clay the reason they're all going in to 207 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: defend Colbert, and it's pretty indefensible considering how expensive. First 208 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: of all, why wouldn't Colbert say, you know what, I'm 209 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: not worth fifteen million dollars a year or twenty million 210 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: dollars a year, whatever it is. We're gonna need to 211 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: tighten our belts here, and I'm going to take a 212 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: smaller salary because i want this to endure, and i 213 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: want my staff to have jobs, and I'm willing to 214 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: take a pay cut, you know, still make five or 215 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year so that we can be 216 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: more sustainable going forward. No, he's greedy. He's greedy, and 217 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: he's a jerk, and he wasn't worth the money they 218 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: were paying him. It's absurd that they were doing this, 219 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: running forty million dollars a year in the red. It's 220 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: crazy that money is coming from somewhere else, right, So 221 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: something else in that corporation that's making money has to subsidize, 222 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of like the WNBA has has to be subsidized 223 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: by that. And you sit here and clay the real 224 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: problem they have with Colbert's cancelation, the stuff where they're 225 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: pretending it's Trump. I mean, it's just childish, it's babyish. 226 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: They're losing some of their favorite toys. Though. The Democrats, 227 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: whether it's NPR, it's you know, the dominance of the 228 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: of the late programs with anti Trump Democrat voices. They're 229 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: losing some of the built in advantages that they have, 230 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: They're losing some of the legacy media dominance that they've enjoyed, 231 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: and it makes them very nervous because without cheating, they 232 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: can't win. I also think it's a cautionary tale, and 233 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: I would love I mean, if you can think of one, 234 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: let me know. I think the question of can you 235 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: name somebody out there that has gone woke that has 236 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: ultimately ended up benefiting you know, bud Light has not, 237 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: the NBA has not. The WNBA seems to think that 238 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: the woke universe still exists. Colbert certainly didn't. Everybody who 239 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: followed Colbert did not. I think that what you will 240 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: soon see is ABC will probably move on, INNBC will 241 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: move on. I don't know how long it's gonna take 242 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: for late night television basically to collapse everywhere. But if 243 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: the highest rated show is losing forty million dollars a year, 244 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: I can't believe that the cost structure for ABC and 245 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: NBC shows are that much different. Who benefited from going woke, 246 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: even Ben and Jerry's ice cream, which has been a 247 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: left wing basically communist ice cream. Interestingly, from the founding, 248 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: who is the over the hill football player who took 249 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: the knee? He benefited Colin Kaepernick. Yeah for a little while, 250 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: but then even that blew up on him. Yeah, he 251 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: benefited from that era because E didn't his era would 252 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: have been over beforehand. I just I don't know who 253 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: the winners are coming out of this, and I think 254 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: what you're seeing is actually just the return to sanity, 255 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: and I think it ties in. Let's talk about that 256 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: WNBA situation, because I think the women in the WNBA 257 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: showing up and pay us what you owe us. Their 258 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: league lost forty million dollars last year. Not dissimilar to 259 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert when your business is losing money and you 260 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: are arguing that you are owed way more money. I 261 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: do not think that the average American out there thinks 262 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: that you deserve to be paid. In fact, the numbers 263 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: are if the WNBA had to pay to re sign 264 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: up for what they're actually losing, every player would owe 265 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: the league two hundred and fifty thousand dollars instead of 266 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: being paid to play. They would actually owe two hundred 267 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars each, which is amazing. Pay us. Okay, 268 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: the owners could wear the same T shirts and be like, 269 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: we want a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars refund 270 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: from you guys for allowing you to play. We'll talk 271 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: about that and a bit more. But I want to 272 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: tell you Price Picks whatever you love.

A lot of 327 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: people waiting in on Colbert as well. All that headed 328 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: your direction. Trump administration is determined to make our economy boom, 329 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: and they're doing a lot of to that end.

Rickards 337 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: thinks that President Trump is about to unleash a one 338 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty trillion dollars state owned asset that's been 339 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: hidden for over a century. He thinks this could trigger 340 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: an economic boom not seen in a century and send 341 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: a small sector of the market skyrocketing. But you got 342 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: to act quickly on this one. President Trump moves fast. 343 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: You want to move fast too.

Okay, Buck, I saw this and saw 372 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: the connection between the two, and I think it actually 373 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: ties in with the lefs economic illiteracy. We talked about 374 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: Colbert Guys losing forty million dollars a year on his show. 375 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: Show costs over one hundred million dollars a year. He 376 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: is being paid either fifteen or twenty million dollars a year, 377 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: and they announced that they're going to cancel it, and 378 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: immediately Democrats are up in arms. Over the weekend, similar 379 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: situation happens. WNBA All Star Game is going on in Indianapolis. 380 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: The girls in the WNBA that play on the teams, 381 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: the women walk out in pay us what You Owe 382 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Us t shirts. The WNBA, according to the New York Post, 383 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: is on track to lose forty million dollars this year. 384 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: That means if WNBA plays were paid what they make 385 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: they would actually owe all of the owners around two 386 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars each. That is, instead of 387 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: being paid, they would actually need to pay the owners 388 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: of the WNBA franchises two hundred and fifty thousand dollars each. 389 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: To me, the connection here is the WNBA is the 390 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: most left wing I think it's fair to say sports 391 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: organization in America right now that is unfortunate because they're 392 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: alienating a ton of the fan base that they suddenly have. 393 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: But much like with Stephen Colbert, there is a belief 394 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: in sort of fantasy economics that you should be paid 395 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: vast sums of money even though you're making no money. 396 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: And I think it ties in with the larger issues 397 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: that democrats have in general, because there used to be 398 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats in positions of power that had 399 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: some knowledge of basic economics, had worked largely in business, 400 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: understood how capitalism works. Now you have a lot of 401 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: AOC's a lot of people out there who say, oh, 402 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: when the news comes out that Amazon wants to locate 403 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: a huge headquarters. I believe it was in Queens. You'll 404 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: probably remember this better than I did. To Pacific location. 405 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: They say, oh, we can't be giving all of these 406 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: dollars away, And they don't even understand how tax abatements 407 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: and tax credits work. They think that actual dollars of 408 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: cash and taxpayer dollars are being given. And as a result, 409 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: the job situation in many of these blue cities and 410 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: blue states is deteriorating. You sent me over the weekend 411 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: in an outburger. Their president is moving to where I 412 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: live in Franklin, Tennessee. Now, my wife says all the time, Hey, 413 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: don't tell people how nice. Franklin is getting too full. 414 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: We should never move here. It is awful. And I 415 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: have a friend out there who says that there are 416 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand apartment in housing units being built in the 417 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: next five years in Franklin already, something like something like, really, 418 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: we don't want you to come. It's awful. I don't 419 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: know how anybody could ever have a good time here. 420 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how you could raise a family. We 421 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: know we're struggling as best we can to make do 422 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: with what we have here in Franklin, Tennessee. But I 423 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: did think it was interesting. She was specifically asked in 424 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: that interview, why are you leaving California? She said, it 425 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: just became too difficult. Now they still have offices in California, 426 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: but they're opening up what's being called in East Coast 427 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee, which is about twenty miles south 428 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 1: of Nashville, for those of you who don't know the geography. 429 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: And I do think this is starting to happen everywhere. 430 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: And what connects all these stories is a inability to 431 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: understand basic business, how paychecks work, how people make money 432 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: for the labor they produce. And I do think that 433 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: it is making it incredibly difficult for Democrats to dig 434 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: themselves out of the hole. Do you see that connection 435 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: with Colbert and the WNBA. It's like this fantastical world 436 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: where you don't have to have any economic understanding of 437 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: how your boss makes money and you just expect the 438 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: money truly grows on trees. 439 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 3: Well. 440 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also the Democrats took over a lot of 441 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: corporations that were built over a very long time by 442 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: people who were not Communists. And whether it was infiltration 443 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: through HR first and then the C suite later when 444 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: DEI concerns were directing a lot of hiring. Even at 445 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: the most senior levels, you have people who It's a 446 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: bit like the California situation where Gavin Newsom takes over 447 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: a beautiful state that's incredibly rich with a ton of 448 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: people and says, I'm not screwing it up. Look at 449 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: how rich and beautiful this place is. Well, yeah, but 450 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: everything you're doing is making it worse. It's true of 451 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: companies and media entities as well. A lot of these 452 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: sixty minutes people are saying is in trouble. There are 453 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: a lot of these old media institutions that are I 454 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: don't even know who owns these things anymore, right, there's 455 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: all these mergers and moving around, and but what you 456 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: find out is that news used to be they used 457 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: to go for news class. I understand that a place 458 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: like ABC, they were just hoping it was revenue neutral. 459 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: So they've always been something of a corporate hobby horse 460 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: in some of these places. But there's a that's for 461 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: the news only side of things. Late night shows used 462 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: to be wildly profitable. Late night shows should be making 463 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: it should be cash cows. And what you're finding is 464 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: that when people have more options and more choice, and 465 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: I also think even more familiarity with who these individuals 466 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: are on these shows, what you find is that they 467 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: can't justify these enormous salaries and these tremendous corporate expenditures, 468 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: and the world where the Democrats can count on have 469 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: total airway dominance handed to them like like built in 470 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: that world is evaporating very quickly, and that's a good thing. Finally, 471 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: now with the break it actually was particularly bad for 472 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: a while with the Internet because they had locked down 473 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: the major Internet, major Internet social media sites and you 474 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: know Netflix in these places are still pretty big problems, 475 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: but Clay, we're seeing a change in the ability of 476 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: it's not even just republic inter Conservatives just same voices 477 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: to break through and they can't get away with the 478 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: same kind of nonsense. Yeah, I've loved so. I think 479 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: I said this on the show last week. If you 480 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: had told me when I was fourteen years old or 481 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: thirteen years old, hey, you get to pick any media 482 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: job in the world to have, I probably would have said, hey, 483 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: SportsCenter anchor or late night TV host, because I thought, hey, 484 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: those are two of the best jobs that are out there. 485 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: Sports center anc basically doesn't exist now because then the 486 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: highlights of sports are widely distributed. Nobody sits and watches it. Anyway, 487 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: Sports Center and I and he and Dan Patrick. Back 488 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: in the day, I would wake up Buck, I would 489 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: eat my cereal while I was getting ready to go 490 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: off to school, and I would have on Sports Center, 491 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: because back in the day you might not know who 492 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: won the late night games. And I would sit there 493 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: and I would eat my cereal and I would just think, Man, 494 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: these guys are so funny. They're having such a good time. 495 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: This is like the best job that's ever existed late 496 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: night Again, I understand every kid, including my own. Now 497 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: the summers are completely packed. You have one hundred and 498 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: sixty eight different camps that your kids go to for 499 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: a variety of sports or dance or whatever they're into. 500 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: I just set it home, uh, And I had this 501 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: huge amount of time, didn't have a license yet, and 502 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: watched and read and I was just kind of on 503 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: my own. And late night television you still love it. 504 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: But to me, what's interesting is when you think about 505 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: what late night television show happened and why the collapse 506 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: in business occurred. Comedy specials are now everywhere. I remember 507 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: back in the day, we used to pass around like 508 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy Raw or Eddie Murphy, you know, like the 509 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: VHS cassette tapes of the relatively few people who got 510 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: HBO specials, and you would watch them, but they weren't 511 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: very common, and some people, some of you, probably had 512 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: cassette discs of old school maybe CDs of old school 513 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: comedy specials. It was not easy to get a comedy special. 514 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: Now they're everywhere you get on Netflix, and there's trending 515 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: comedy specials and you can watch any number of comics 516 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: on any given night. And then the podcast long form 517 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: interview has a lot of celebrities. Instead of sitting for 518 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: five minute, sort of lame interviews to promote their movies, 519 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: they now do longer form interviews if they're reasonably intelligent people. 520 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: There just is no late night TV audience. I think 521 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: it could have existed probably for another decade if they 522 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: hadn't gone political. But the entire concept of that show 523 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: has been exploded and it now has gone into a 524 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: bunch of different pieces. And I do think that you're 525 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: seeing a dynamic reordering of who people trust, and I 526 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: think all that matters. My theory here is authenticity, not 527 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: expectation that you're going to agree with everybody, not expectation 528 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: that you're going to have the exact same opinion on 529 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: every issue, but just hey, are they telling me something 530 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: that is true? And I think the reason radio continues 531 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: to have a lot of cogency is you can't fake it. 532 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: Cannot fake three hours a day of radio for better 533 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: or worse. We are what you think we would be, 534 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: and that can be good or bad. But I think 535 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: the late shows they faked it a long time and 536 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: as a result, going super woke and getting blown up 537 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: I think is fascinating. I think WNBA has got major 538 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: issues with not understanding basic economics. Take it for so 539 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: one with a law degree, you want to have a 540 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: will or trust if you're out there right now and 541 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: you got younger kids, or you got grandkids, and you 542 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: are already trying to deal with their disagreements, thinking about 543 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: how Thanksgiving is going to be set up in a 544 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: few months, not that far away now, and you're worried 545 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: about what might happen when you're gone with maybe your house, 546 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: maybe your car. Maybe it's just a couple of bank 547 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: accounts you got, and you know, maybe it's things that 548 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: really matter to you that are family prize possessions that 549 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: are inside of the house. You know, your kids are 550 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: going to fight over it. Why not go ahead and 551 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: solve it once and for all and do a will 552 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: and to trust. Buck and I both have wills and 553 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: trust done. We hope to be living for a very 554 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: long time.

We got a few minutes here, 579 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: Let's see talkbacks. Let's get some talkbacks. We have JJ 580 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: Robin who listens on news radio WFLA and Tampa play it. 581 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, this is Robin from the Tampa Bay area. 582 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 5: You're talking about Hunter. Well, considering he most likely was 583 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 5: part of who was running the White House, he probably 584 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 5: feels that he's entitled to it. Typical Biden. Great job, guys, We. 585 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: Love you well, Thank you. And look, Clay, I know 586 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 1: you don't think it's a high probability that Hunter's gonna 587 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: win anything, But would Hunter actually run for something? It's 588 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: tough to You can never overestimate a true megalomaniac's ability 589 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: or a true egomaniac, I mean an egomaniac's ability to 590 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: live in a delusion, So who knows well, I think, 591 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: especially if you add in the drug and alcohol abuse 592 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: that likely destroyed many parts of his brain that are 593 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: engaged in sam in rational thinking. Because this interview that 594 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: he did is so outrageous and outlandish that I can't 595 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: help but think in his demented worldview, he sees himself 596 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: as the hero that could rescue his family. I'm not 597 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: saying I sign on to it. I think it's crazy, 598 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: but that's the kind of thought that leads someone to 599 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: learn to decide to run for office. Is it Melbourne, Florida. 600 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: That's how it's pronounced right, Melbourne Melbourne, I think is 601 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: what people say Melbourne. Yeah, I'm crossed over because I 602 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: actually went there in Australia and they pronounced it Melbourne, 603 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: which I don't understand. But kk Dan wants to ask 604 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: you a question. I don't know the answer to this. 605 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: Good question, Hey, Buck, how did Flatley get that airplane 606 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: back off the carrier? Just curious? I do not know 607 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: how Lieutenant Flatley carries Grandpa. I don't know did he 608 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: take off I mean to get I mean that's or 609 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: did they just have to go into into harbor? And 610 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: like that's a great question, But now you've got a 611 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: question to follow up with. Yeah, how you could land 612 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: that thing? I mean, just keep in mind sometimes it's 613 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: tricky to land an incredibly nimble you know, like F 614 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: F sixteen or F fourteen Tomcat or F sixteen or 615 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: F eighteen, you know, air carrier aircraft carrier landings. I've 616 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: obviously never done one, but from the various members of 617 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: my in laws who have done this, it's not an 618 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: easy thing. When you've got a small nimble plane, the 619 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: biggest plane in the world at the time would be 620 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: quite a challenge, and your your margin for air very small. 621 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: Haven't we lost like just three airplanes on aircraft carriers 622 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: that accidentally went off and some Yeah, I mean in 623 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: recent history here, just recently, I mean we people people 624 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: lose their lives because of aircraft, particularly on landing is 625 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: really tough. So yeah, Danny and Sacramento listening to us 626 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: out there on KFBK, which got for us, Danny. 627 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 6: It looks like that the universe has exchanged the late 628 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 6: great Maha Rushi America's truth detector to carry on the 629 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 6: legacy of that he created, to place him with the 630 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 6: two greatest truth detectors for America and that is buck 631 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 6: Sexton and Clay Travis many many years of success. 632 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 1: That's it's super very nice. We're four years in. Things 633 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: have gone very well since. Certainly we feel privileged every 634 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: single day to get to talk to all of you. 635 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: By the way, talkbacks we're going to start. I was 636 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: talking with producer Ali about this because I love the 637 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: growth that we're seeing on YouTube, and I think this 638 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: is going to become a really powerful channel for this 639 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: show to continue to get the message out. Give us talkbacks. 640 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: We'll answer some of those occasionally on YouTube, and you 641 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: will get a YouTube specific version of the show. Can 642 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: be funny, right, We don't need necessarily deep dives, but 643 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: whatever you guys want to ask in the talkbacks will 644 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: include those.

It's a great distribution mechanism. 650 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: Audience growing rapidly there as well. We love all of you, 651 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: but back tomorrow fighting for truth to justice in the 652 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: American way. If Superman won't do it, I guess the 653 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: two of us will have to see all then
