1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is brought to you by

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Cozy Earth, comfort, style and quality. You can count on

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Cozy Earth. Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts. Now,

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: my friends, it was the best State of the Union

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: speech I've ever seen.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna come right out and say it a

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: little bit of a mea culpa actually, because I am

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: a little salty about State of the Unions.

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Most of them are boring because they go too long.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: I watched every minute of this one, as I tend

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: to always do because this is our job. But it

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: was not boring. It it was soaring, it was majestic,

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: it was pageantry. It was fantastic. Honestly, I feel like

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: a movie reviewer. I laughed, I cried, I felt my

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: heart sore. It was fantastic. I mean, it was the best.

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: I could not say enough good things about Trump's State

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: of the Union. He was absolutely dialed in, locked in,

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: en fuego all of the above. Now we will dive

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: into some of the policy, of course, as well as

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: the very well deserved victory lap.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: That was the bulk.

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Of the opening, certainly of the speech and the Democrat responses.

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this Democrat Party is nuts. In fact,

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: I think one of the most powerful moments Clay of

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: the entire Now, look before I get into the Democrats, actually,

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: I want to focus on the positive here because many

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: of you are probably familiar with Internet terminology and for example,

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: the red pill, which comes from the matrix, which I've

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: been saying for a long time. Actually I used to

30
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: say this on my show Clay when I was doing

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: a Saturday show for like five people.

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: On the Internet.

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: I would say, guys, you know, we got to take

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: the red pill here, and it became very popular because

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: of the movie The Matrix, and it means to see

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: things as they truly are. But now there are different

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: pills with corresponding colors, and there are people on the red.

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: There are people that.

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Will say taking a white pill means you're seeing things

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: in a very sort of benevolent light. Red pill as

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: you're seeing things as they are. Blue pill is you're

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: part of the normis or you still have the world

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: sort of shrouded and presented to you without seeing with clarity,

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: and which is from the matrix.

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: And then the black.

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: Pill is I'm just everything is bad. We're never going

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: to win. Everything is terrible. There's some black pilling that

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: happens sometimes on the right where people just want to

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: get down. And I saw a little list in the commentary.

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Of but what about this? And Trump didn't do that? Clay.

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: I just want to set this marker because I don't

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: say that every State of the Union dress is great.

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: In fact, most of them I think are a waste

54
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: of time. Most of them I do because it's my job.

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: Not only was this the best State of the Union speech,

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: that was a marker, a high point I think for

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: looking back at what has been, in its totality, an

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: unbelievable first year of Trump's second term. And I'm some

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: who was there in the trenches with the fighting back

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: against the Russia collusion stuff which was totally messing Trump

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: up in the first term, and sandbagging and you know,

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: undermining everything he was doing and dealing with the bad

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: picks that he had in that first administration. I'm not

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: a oh, rose colored glasses guy. Everything is awesome, Clay.

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: Before we get anything else, I just I think it's

66
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: worth taking this moment of this administration has delivered an

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: enormously on securing the border, on bringing down the crime rate,

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 2: nationally on a booming economy. True, we can go through

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: this piece by piece. The data speaks to it. Everyone

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: needs to take a moment, enjoy the win, Enjoy the victory,

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: because unfortunately, this too shall pass. He will not be

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: president forever. He might not even have the House for

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: more than another year. And the Democrats will get into

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: this clay. They're insane. They are a wacko party.

75
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think that to me is everything

76
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: comes down to a couple of moments, even more so

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: in a social media age. Most people did not watch

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: a two hour speech and you loved it. I gotta

79
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: be honest with you, it would have been better if

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: it were an hour fifteen instead of nearly two hours.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: So I was watching, I was also doing what a

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: lot of other people are doing. Probably, I was watching

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: a basketball game simultaneously. On a second. Okay, this is

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: the most clay thing ever. You're watching a basketball at Sam.

85
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: We're switching roles here. Usually you're the one that loved

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: the movie.

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: So to speak, and I trash it. You're not trashing it,

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: but you're saying it was too long, which is what

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: I was worried was going to happen. I actually sat

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: through the whole thing and thought that he really pulled

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: the whole thing off without it. I mean, I look,

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: I think all city union should be thirty minutes.

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: But that's me. I'm crazy. I thought that it went

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: on too long with that in as my criticism, because

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: I I think it just dragged to me. I thought

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: it was the most optimistic, patriotic speech that Trump may

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: have ever given. And if you were just a reasonable person, right,

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: not someone who is a Trump deranged psychopath, and you

99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: just watched that, I think the results would be somewhat

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: similar to what CNN actually showed, which was sixty four

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: percent of the speech of viewers really liked it. I

102
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: would say there's about thirty five percent of people. Trump

103
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: could have come out last night and said I cured cancer.

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: All of your grandmas and grandpas are now going to

105
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: be resurrected because of massive technological advantages, and you're gonna

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: get to hang out with your family again, and they

107
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: still would complain, Right, whatever the greatest thing and I

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: balanced the budget and whatever the greatest accomplishment that you

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: think a president could render, there's about thirty five percent

110
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: of the population that would hate it, just because Trump

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: has broken their brains. And I thought there were two

112
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: things that really stood out. Buck one was when Trump

113
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: said they're insane, and the second one was when they're

114
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: not willing to stand for things that are completely non

115
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: political in nature. And I think this is going to

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: bounce back in democrats disfavor in a fairly substantial way

117
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: because being retro sort of retroactively opposed to whatever Trump

118
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: is in favor of, it is working against them. And

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: I thought Trump did a good job of making a case.

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: If I were giving advice, I would have said do

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: it in one point fifteen instead of one forty five.

122
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: I think thirty minutes of that speech could have been

123
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: cleaned up, but so much of it was just a

124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: spectacularly optimistic story about America and how our lives intersect

125
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: with the two hundred and fifty year old history of

126
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: the country. And in that way, I thought it was

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: very well done. In the most optimistic problem speech that

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: Trump has maybe ever given in his presidency.

129
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: You noted two of the most important policy which I

130
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: think pretty universally people felt like the Democrats not standing

131
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: for we want to put citizens above foreigners, basically like

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: Americans matter more to the American government.

133
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Their their future and.

134
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: Their well being matters more to the American government than

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: other people. Democrats just fundamentally don't believe that. Actually, Democrats

136
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: view anyone from anywhere in the world, no matter what

137
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: their uh, their their background, their language, their politics, their

138
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: their credo, whatever, as well, maybe that could be a voter.

139
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, let't just start giving them welfare and turn

140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: them into a voter. That's how they view that.

141
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Anyone from anywhere, anyone is as American as any of you,

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: as long as that person is going to be on

143
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: the government dole and vote Democrat. That is truly how

144
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: they feel and how they think of this country, which

145
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: I think is a huge vulnerability for them politically.

146
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: It should be he or else. We're just on a

147
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: slow glide path into the side of the mountain and

148
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: our sovereignty is done. But Clay, the few moments for me.

149
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: That were particularly just powerful the USA hockey team thing.

150
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: That I'm not a hockey guy. I got so many

151
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on this too that we could dive into eventually,

152
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: but that moment was pure cinematic gold.

153
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: It was.

154
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: It was, you know, Ronald Reagan high fiving Hulk Hogan

155
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: on the back of a Tricera tops with with American

156
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: flags fluttering in the backgrounds, you know, flanked by eagles,

157
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: like I mean, it was it was amazing, all right.

158
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: It was an absolutely beautiful moment, uh for for the country.

159
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: And it was just so cool all those young guys there,

160
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, the big win, and it really is about America.

161
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: And I think I would hope that even somebody that

162
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: despises every aspect of Trump's policy at least had their

163
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: had their moment.

164
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 3: You know.

165
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: They they smiled and looked at those guys and said

166
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: they are there are boys, and they did a great job.

167
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: And our gals they weren't. They weren't there last night,

168
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: but you know, the gals team did a great job too.

169
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: And I just think that that national pride is something

170
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: I want to see in everybody your respective of who

171
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: they vote for. Unfortunately, Democrats a lot of them, not

172
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: all of them, it's not fair to say all of them,

173
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't. And Clay, the other

174
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: moment for me was when he told the story of

175
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: the pilot chief Warrant Officer Slover, Yeah, going into Venezuela

176
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: getting his legs. I mean, I'm assuming it was probably

177
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: getting hit by seven six two rounds. I mean, I

178
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: don't know. They didn't talk about this, but getting hit

179
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: by you know, getting hitting the legs and then a

180
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: hip and continuing as a chinook pilot to make sure

181
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: that that that bird came down and the mission was completed.

182
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: And that guy, you could tell he's still recovering. There's

183
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: still probably a lot of pain he's dealing with and

184
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and immobility issues from you know, you get you get

185
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: hit with those kind of roundes, specially talking about hip stuff.

186
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: That's very point, is man, that guy is just an

187
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: American hero and American badass and be able to give

188
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: him the Medal of Honor. I know there are other

189
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor winners too, and they had amazing stories,

190
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: but this guy had just happened. I just that that

191
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: wasn't about Trump, right, This is the thing, Oh totally.

192
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: It's about the country truly. So how can they not

193
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: love that? How can you be an American and not say,

194
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, this is one of the best of ours

195
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: right here, this guy who put it on the line

196
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: and got the mission done. Eric Slover is his name,

197
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: And what first of all, he looked uncomfortable being there

198
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you if they had given him a mike,

199
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: he would say, well, I was just one of insert number.

200
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: I was just doing my job. That's how those guys

201
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: are at the highest level, the operators, That's how they are.

202
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: But as he stood there and he was still, as

203
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you said, recovering, he had aid I think crutches basically

204
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: to help him walk. He looked like an American badass

205
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: monster in a good way, right, just huge. I don't

206
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: know how many reps on three point fifteen that guy

207
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: could do, but I would go for a high number.

208
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like a guy who had committed

209
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: his heart and soul to defending a America, to touch

210
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: such an extent that he was there to get the

211
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: utmost of his body and give the utmost of his

212
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: body on behalf of the country. And that to your point,

213
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: they had two hundred year old, a World War Two veteran,

214
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: a guy who flew missions I think they said in

215
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: World War two, Korea and Vietnam, I mean, both of

216
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: whom were getting the awards. I thought it was the

217
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: most patriotic pro American speech that Trump may have ever given.

218
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: And here's what stood out to me, Buck, and I

219
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: think this ties in with the US men, And I've

220
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: got so many thoughts on a deep level about this.

221
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: You can argue, as we have said on this program,

222
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: about what the tax rate should be on corporations, and

223
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: you can argue about what policy should be in place

224
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: when it comes to ice raids and all these other

225
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: different things. But really, what I think President Trump distilled

226
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: with this address is there is one party that is

227
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: proud of this country and proud of the United States

228
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: and feels intense patriotic loyalty to America, and that is Republicans.

229
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: And then there is a party that is ashamed of

230
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: America and everything that it represents, and that is Democrats.

231
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: And that is a big, major issue writ large that

232
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do direct with policy, And I

233
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: thought Trump's address was delivered right at that intersection of

234
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: conflict over the existential and supported and super important question

235
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: of is America a good and just country or not?

236
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: Republicans say yes, Democrats say no. And I think that

237
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: goes to the very essence of our political battles in

238
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: this day and age, and I thought that address really

239
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: focused on it.

240
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: Also, Trump just taking a moment for him here because

241
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: there was a lot of stuff that really was about

242
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: the country, and that was it was beautiful and and

243
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: all of the victory laps that he started out with

244
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: are just they're just factual too.

245
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: This isn't when Biden says things like we were American

246
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: jobs were brought back the economy.

247
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: It's like, you mean, you Democrat maniacs allowed people to

248
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: go back to work because they had already gotten a

249
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: nasty cold that they weren't going to die from in

250
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: the first place, because they weren't you know, at high risk.

251
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: Like that's your great economic contribution to stop ruining everything

252
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: and spending us into oblivion. The accomplishments that Trump was

253
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: laying out last night are just that their accomplishments. No

254
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: matter how you slice it. The reality is he's done

255
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: incredible things. But the other part of this, Clay is

256
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: he's just a showman man. I mean when he goes

257
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: up with the Democrats or you know, oh, they're they're

258
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: they're shrieking and howling and they're all so upset and

259
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: they're acting like really acting like the uh, you know,

260
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: the unruly children in the school auditorium that the dean

261
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: has to go and give a talking to. You know,

262
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: Trump is just like, yeah, you're crazy. You know, he's

263
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: shouting them down. The guy just puts on a show.

264
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: It's there's nothing else like it. We have seen nothing

265
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: else like it, And I thought, I thought it was phenomenal.

266
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Do I always think that a speech could be short

267
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: or short, But I actually last night was the first

268
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: time that I wasn't like, this has gotten brutal. That

269
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: was that was kind of my meaning got that got

270
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: way too long. So overall I thought it was the

271
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: best State of the Union speech. And I go into

272
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: these things pretty with low expectation. So we'll talk about

273
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: some of the Democrat stuff, some of the big policy moments. Also,

274
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: I think worth discussing this setting aside money for American

275
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: children in accounts understand, like basically putting everybody in a

276
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: place where they will benefit from the American economy and

277
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: the financial system. There's some big things about this that

278
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: I think really matter and and we should discuss because

279
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: this is this is a way you want to deal

280
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: with the wealth gap, and you want to deal with

281
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: quality of life and all these things.

282
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot to this. By the way, we

283
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: should have taken George W. Bush's advice a long time ago,

284
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: an index social security to s and P five hundred

285
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: index funds. If we had, the country would be on

286
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: much sounder financial shape instead of you giving all your

287
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: money and getting back three percent returns or whatever the

288
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: heck it is forty years later. It's a social security.

289
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: The weights setup is just it's a you're listening to

290
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: team forty seven with Clay and Buck here with us

291
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: tonight is a group of winners who just made the

292
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: entire nation crowd the men's gold medal Olympic hockey team.

293
00:15:44,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: Come on, Clay, I think the chant of USA USA

294
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: was in essence what the speech was last night. Yes,

295
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: that really, you know, if you're looking for an encapsulation,

296
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: it's just a room full of people cheering American hero

297
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: shouting USA USA.

298
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: I mean, let's really take a moment. I know that

299
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: there were people on the Democrat side there who look

300
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: like they were sucking on lemons. You know who was

301
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: particularly actually well, I mean it's tough to compare to

302
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, who truly if they were

303
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: in like a college auditorium, they would have been you know,

304
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,359
Speaker 2: they would have been removed by security. Okay, they're completely

305
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: they're they're class lists, they're grotesque, they're they're horrible. Okay,

306
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: But Mark Kelly, the idea that this guy is a

307
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: presidential contender, he's such a surly little fuddy, you know,

308
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: I don't get it. Oh, We're all supposed to be

309
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: so impressed by him. I'm not impressed by him at all.

310
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't care. He sits there with his scowl on

311
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: his face, and you say, what is there?

312
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: Like, like, look around in America today. I know that

313
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 2: Democrats some of their favorite toys have been taken away.

314
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: I know that all Dei's taken a big hit. And

315
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: we don't have to use the preferred pronouns, and we

316
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: don't have to leave the borders wide open and pretend

317
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 2: that somebody who came here illegally yesterday is just as

318
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: Americans people who have been here for you know, hundreds

319
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: of years with their families, you know, just the same.

320
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: It's all the same. We don't have to do that anymore.

321
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: But really, look at the day to day in the

322
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: country right now, Unemployment, inflation, overall economic growth GDP, per

323
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: capita wages. Now, I know, prices are high. Yes, I'm

324
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: not saying it's perfect. Yes there's still a housing issue.

325
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 2: But you look at the borders being secure, You look

326
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: at the murder rate nationally coming down to effectively at

327
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: all time low. And then you add to this, where's

328
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: the are we in some horrible warwipe right now with

329
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: our our you know, bravest American men and women coming

330
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: back in body bags and the solemnity of having No,

331
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: we aren't, Thank god, we are not. Are we in

332
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: the midst of some terrible war?

333
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: We are not. Are we in the midst of some

334
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: economic depression or great recession? No, we are not. Are we?

335
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: What is the what is there to be so upset about?

336
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: Clay?

337
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: This is really the thing I think is so funny.

338
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: They they're not so bad. I mean Spamberger, who's a

339
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: total trojan horse. She is absolutely out of the Democrat

340
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: playbook of like, oh, I'm sort of just a boring mom,

341
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: just like all of you. And then the lunatic communists

342
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: just you know, with their purple hair and their ear

343
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: plugs and their nose rings in the background like Marxism,

344
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, like that's what she's She's gonna unleash them

345
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: on America the second she's in power, which she's done

346
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: to Virginia already. What are these people? I really like that.

347
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: This is why when Trump called them crazy, they're crazy.

348
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: They're actually nuts. Like I don't have to sit here

349
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: and get into some in depth conversation about their view

350
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: of kanesy and economics. They can't even spell knesy and economics.

351
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: Do you think Rashida Talib knows who Canes was, she

352
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: knows what country he's from, or what? I mean? These

353
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: people are imbeciles and all they do is just just

354
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: show what malcontents they are. They just spew rage and

355
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: envy and yeah, all over the country. That's what I

356
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: felt like last night. I love what Trump has done

357
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: on crime, and I hope that he punched through on this.

358
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: We should be talking all the time about the fact

359
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: that murders are at one hundred and twenty five year low.

360
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: And I went and did research this morning. Buck, you

361
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: can go look it up Washington, DC, in particular where

362
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Trump spoke last night, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of

363
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: the country. No one is talking about this. I feel

364
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: sometimes like I'm screaming into a void. But I think

365
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: it is so incredibly important. Are down sixty seven percent

366
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Since last year. Buck twenty seven

367
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: murders between January and February occurred in twenty twenty five

368
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: last year, which was already beginning a dramatic decline from

369
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: the past. With Trump coming into office, There's only been

370
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: nine murders in Washington, d C. In January and February

371
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six so far, sixty seven percent. Okay,

372
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: we talked about this when it happened. We said, Okay,

373
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: maybe Trump's going to surge resources in Washington, d C.

374
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: And it's just not gonna work. That would stink because

375
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: we would prefer that there was less violent crime. Murders

376
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: instead are down sixty seven percent. What if we have

377
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: just and I think it's becoming clear grown to accept

378
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: a certain level of crime that is absolutely unnecessary to accept,

379
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: and by surging resources in crime ridden communities, we can

380
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: actually make everybody infinitely safer. Wouldn't that be a great thing.

381
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: That's happening right now in Washington, d C. It's happening

382
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: in my home state Buck Memphis, Tennessee, and it's happening

383
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, Louisiana, which I think is such an

384
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: incredible story that it's impossible to attack Trump for and

385
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: it should be screamed louder. I'm glad he addressed it

386
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: last night, but I think a lot of people still

387
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: have no clue how much safer. And by the way,

388
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: do you know whose lives are being saved? Overwhelming the

389
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: minority lives because murder rates are not evenly distributed per capita.

390
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: Black and Hispanic people are far more likely to kill

391
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: each other than white and Asian people are, and Trump

392
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: is saving tons of lives. I mean, this is a

393
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: real tangible thing.

394
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: It is and it reminds me Clay of another There

395
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: are a number of things where there was a binary.

396
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: Should we deport illegals or not? For the future of

397
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: this country? Is something that is I think it should

398
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: be obvious to anybody, but there's a deep and long

399
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: running philosophical Okay, is it better? You know if we

400
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: deported x amount of the next five years, what's it

401
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: like in ten years? But these are things where you

402
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: can keep arguing about it, is my point. I think

403
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: it's very clear what's pest for the country, but you

404
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: keep arguing about it. There are other things, though, where

405
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: there's just there's a final declaration of what is who

406
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: was right and who was wrong. I mean, you're you

407
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: love betting, you like predictions, You're into this stuff, and

408
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's you get it wrong, you get it right.

409
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: You know this is I man tell. Sometimes the outcome

410
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: is unclear and you just argue, hey, what what could

411
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: have happened here? What is this? That's fair? But with

412
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Democrats on a number of important issues with Trump, the

413
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: airmint has been run and we have seen the result

414
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: and they were wrong, and they don't care. They don't

415
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: change their tune, they don't change their mind. They certainly

416
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: don't say I'm sorry. And this is what we're dealing

417
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: with now. Clay, there was an article in the New

418
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: York Times by not a right winger, and it's something

419
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: they want to talk about. I know you had a

420
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: detransitioner on last week just saying ideology was pushing this

421
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: trans care for kids stuff. There was no there were

422
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: no studies, there was no benefit analysis. Really, it was

423
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: just gotta transm. Got a transms fast. I got a

424
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: trans as many of them as we can, as fast

425
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: as we can put them, Clay. Testosterone is a controlled

426
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: substance that is hard for adult males to get without you.

427
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: They have to get a doctor's prescription.

428
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: In some places they want to know, you know, you know,

429
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: I have a ton of friends here in Miami. Who

430
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: are they call it, you know, pinning TRT. A ton

431
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: of friends here. And if you go in and you're

432
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: like a teenage girl, they're gonna give you testosterone as

433
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: quickly as they can in a lot of these places.

434
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: Right, So it's controlled substance for men. But for my

435
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: point on this point, that's the story that she told us,

436
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: which was a lot of people still reacting to it

437
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: at seventeen years old. They just start pumping this you know,

438
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: little girl, young girl, completely full of testosterone. It's in clay.

439
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: And what they have to understand is there's no if

440
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: you're a man and they're doing that for you, there's

441
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: a completely clear medical basis which is what is the

442
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: optimum range for a man to be in. And they

443
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: have to check.

444
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: They'll check your hematocrit, they'll check your blood range, will

445
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: check you know. Again, it's part of my fitness journey

446
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: I've been doing. I've done peptides and I'll talk with

447
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: this another time. The only reason I don't talk about

448
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: it more. By the way, is just because I don't

449
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 2: want to be accused of like giving medical advisory. So

450
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: that's why I'm a little but I'm a huge believer

451
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: in get to a get to a performance dock. Talk

452
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: to that performance stock about MD medical doctor about peptides,

453
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 2: and maybe one day we can have one on the show.

454
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: Claim.

455
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: I actually probably talked to Marty McCay about this tomorrow smorrow,

456
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: because I think this is critical for health and a

457
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: lot of things. My point is, what is the proper

458
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: testosterone level for a girl who thinks she's a boy.

459
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 2: There is no proper tech like this doesn't exist.

460
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: This is like you know, you're crossing, you know, a

461
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: hyena with a giraffe, Like this is not supposed to happen.

462
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do this. And they're finally now

463
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: admitting that the science was not settled, the science was ideological,

464
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: and that's just one incredibly important issue. But Clay, on

465
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: the issue of crime, which you just brought up, we

466
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: were having this debate over at Morning Joe. They were

467
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: coming off the croquet course, Mika and Joe with the

468
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: sweaters around their shoulders to laugh at all the peasants

469
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: about how they thought that they'd be safer. If you know,

470
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump actually put federal resources to work to make

471
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: people safer. He was right. The numbers show it. They

472
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: were wrong. Why aren't there articles in the New York Times?

473
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: Why aren't there Democrats are saying, you know, I don't

474
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: like Trump on this. I disagree with how he does that.

475
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: I wish he didn't make such funny jokes about ilhan

476
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: Omar or whatever. But he was right on crime Clay.

477
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: You know what happens if you do that, they Eric Adams.

478
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: You you get pushed out of the good graces of

479
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: the party and maybe you get a federal prosecution thrown

480
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: at you if they're in power, just to show you

481
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: who the real boss is. These people, I keep coming

482
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: back to it. These democrats are nuts. They're nuts. They

483
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: are unmoored from reality. I just look at it and say,

484
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: murders going down. Anything we could do to make that happen,

485
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: and that you know this, There are so many, you know,

486
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: downstream impacts from murders declining. Obviously, public safety is number one,

487
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: because everybody feels more feel safer in their communities, but

488
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: the impact of psychologic of people who lose loved ones

489
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: to violent crime, you never recover from it. Right now,

490
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: there are thousands of people who will never experience that

491
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: feeling because Trump and the people who work with him,

492
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: the law enforcement, the National Guard, everybody out there that

493
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: serves the resources. ICE, yes, Ice, all of those people

494
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: have made it such that thousands of people are walking

495
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: the streets today who would have been dead. I don't

496
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: know how you cannot make that a signature achievement. Buck.

497
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: If you and I had come on, if we had said, hey,

498
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: what's your prediction for twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,

499
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: what is yr one of Trump gonna make happen? If

500
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: you or I had said in January of twenty twenty five,

501
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: I think we're going to hit one hundred and twenty

502
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: five year low in murders, somebody would eclip that and

503
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: they would have said this is the most crazy, pro Trump,

504
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: outlandish prediction that they would laughed.

505
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: They would they wouldn't even I think an analyze. They

506
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: would have mocked us. Yes, absolutely happened.

507
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: It happened. You and I wouldn't have even thought to

508
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: predict it because it's such an unexpected outcome, and it's

509
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: like We're not even going to check the scoreboard. We're

510
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: not even good. I would retize basic data. I would

511
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: put it on the other side too. Where remember Joe

512
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Biden astute lee Unfortunately, because he knew, because he's been

513
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: in the game a long time, or at least his

514
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: senior advisors knew. He never went full BLM because he

515
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: with defund the police. He knew defund the police. Defund

516
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: the police is a moron is a moron slogan, and

517
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna politically it's toxic. You can't women defund the police.

518
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: He knew that, and so he stayed away from it.

519
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: If Joe Biden had come into office and said, you

520
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: know what, I know this is going to upset some communities,

521
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: but the numbers are going to speak for themselves, and actually,

522
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: particularly minority communities will benefit from the lives save more

523
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: than anybody else. We're going to go all in on crime.

524
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden delivered one hundred and twenty year low

525
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: in the murder rate. We would be on here and

526
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: I'd be saying, You'd be saying saying, Wow, I didn't

527
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: think he had it in him, but pretty remarkable. Maybe

528
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: he's getting more credit for it than he deserves. But

529
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. And if we had opposed it,

530
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: I would I.

531
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: Mean, I don't know how that would have happened, right,

532
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying if we had doubted it, I

533
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: would have been like, he proved us wrong. It's a

534
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: good thing. Some people in the audience would be mad

535
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: at us, because they're mad whenever I say anything nice

536
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: about anything a Democrat does. And that's fine, but that's

537
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: where we'd beat Democrats don't do that. They jeer Trump

538
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: saving lives because it's Trump. That's where they are. It's

539
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. I mean again, I keep coming back to

540
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: that word. They're crazy, guys.

541
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: This is what we're up against. Why we can't let

542
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: these people back near the levers of power. The Team

543
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 1: forty seven podcast is brought to you by Cozy Earth, comfort,

544
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: style and quality. You can count on Cozy Earth. You're

545
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck. We

546
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: are joined by Senator Marsha Blackburn of the great State

547
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: of Tennessee, which has given us both a fantastic senator

548
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: and a fantastic Lay Travis. So we have so much

549
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: to be thankful for Tennessee and thank you for being here.

550
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Senator Well, I'm.

551
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: Always so delighted to join you all. Thanks for having

552
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: me back.

553
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: It really was an incredible State of the Union. And

554
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: that comes, Senator Blackburn, from somebody who thinks even his

555
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: own team State of the Unions are usually kind of

556
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: boring and go too long. I thought last night was remarkable.

557
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get your top line thoughts on.

558
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: It and how was it.

559
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: It was remarkable, and the two hours absolutely flew by

560
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: because the President just kept rolling right on through all

561
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: the objections that the left side of the aisle was

562
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: throwing their way. I was so pleased. He laid out

563
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: where we were a year and a half ago, with

564
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 3: nine percent inflation, with chaos in the world, and then

565
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: he drew it to today, where we're at two point

566
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: four percent inflation, the price of gas coming down, the

567
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: price of groceries beginning to normalize, way just going up,

568
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: and job opportunities increasing, and our standing in the world

569
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: is restored. Our allies are working with us. Our adversaries

570
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: and enemies fear of us. They know that President Trump

571
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: means the business and that he has the backing of

572
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: Republicans in the House and the Senate.

573
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Were you stunned, even as someone who has been involved

574
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: in politics for a long time, that when they had

575
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: the mom of a murdered, innocent woman and they had

576
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: her stand, and when they had Charlie Kirk's wife eric

577
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: a stand, and when even on a much less serious front,

578
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: they brought in the US men's Olympic team, that every

579
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Democrat didn't stand up and clap. I wish there had

580
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: been even more of a camera on the larger viewing

581
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: area so you could see it. But I gotta admit

582
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: I was kind of staggered. I don't know who gave

583
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Democrats that advice, but including, hey, do you think your

584
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: job is to take care of citizens or illegal immigrants?

585
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe the way they behaved.

586
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: Their behavior was appalling, and the fact that they would

587
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: stay sitting in their seats and not stand to honor

588
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: these who have lost loved ones, to honor those that

589
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 3: have served our country, to honor the oath that they

590
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: took to protect and defend, and honor the people who

591
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: voted for them and elected them, to make certain that

592
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: they were there to serve the people. It was absolutely astounding.

593
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: But you know what this is the where the line

594
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: of distinction is. What we have seen is the current

595
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: Democrat Party, which is less by the far left wing

596
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party, the Democrat socialists. They would rather

597
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: take care of illegal immigrants than they would take care

598
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: of the people that voted for them. They would rather

599
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: provide for illegal immigrants than provide for the citizens of

600
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: their states and the citizens of this nation.

601
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: It is astounding, Senator Blackburn, you also wanted to talk

602
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: to us today about this case currently with the courts

603
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: involving social media, and there's the Kids Online Safety Act.

604
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: There's a whole range of issues coming together here. Can

605
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: you just tell us first what is going on right now?

606
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: We've got Mark Zuckerberg recently had to show up in

607
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County Superior Court. He testified he's a CEO

608
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: of me. There's this whole court case going on. Is

609
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: with the jury right now? What are the items at issue?

610
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: And what do you want to see from this case?

611
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, this case which I will say this Mark

612
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: Zuckerberg being on the stand in this case, I don't

613
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 3: know what the outcome, the legal ramifications of the case

614
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: are going to end up being. No one can tell

615
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: us exactly because there's a jury involved. What I do

616
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 3: know is this that Mark Zuckerberg lost in the court

617
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: of public opinion because he continued to say that social

618
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: media had nothing to do with the accelerated levels of

619
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: anxiety and depression, eating disorders, teamed suicide, and this bucket

620
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: of mental health issues when the research that Meta has

621
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: and whistleblowers have given that research to us, and of

622
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 3: course it was presented in court. And you know that

623
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 3: they know what they are doing to kids. You know

624
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: that they are designing programming to capture younger kids. We

625
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: all know that the valuation of Meta and Google, in

626
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 3: all of these big tech companies, it is based on

627
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: the number of eyeballs they draw to the page and

628
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: the amount of time they can keep those eyeballs focused

629
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: on their platform. So I think he lost in the

630
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 3: court of public opinion. It has brought forward the need

631
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 3: to pass the Kids Online Safety Act that came out

632
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: of the Senate ninety one to three. We have seventy

633
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 3: five Senate co sponsors on it. It is significant. It

634
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 3: would put in place a duty of care, a product

635
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: by design safety standard for the virtual space. That is

636
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 3: something at this point we do not have.

637
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: Your grandkids. My sons go to a similar school in

638
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: the Nashville area that has a good technology policy, which

639
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: is and I know they probably maybe cheating right now,

640
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: but they're not supposed to have their phones. They're not

641
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be able to text message during school, and

642
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: if they're caught with cell phones during school hours, there

643
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: are consequences. Shouldn't this be the standard for every school

644
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: basically in America? Your grandma before that, you were a mom,

645
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: as a dad, I think it's a no brainer, and

646
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it's super bipartisan. Are you in favor of

647
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: this more and more schools not allowing kids to be

648
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: on phones during the day?

649
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: Oh yes, indeed, bail to bail, no sale. That is

650
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 3: a very good policy for kids. And you know, there's

651
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 3: a growing body of research that shows that children who

652
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 3: do not have a cell phone on their desk, in

653
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: their backpack within reach, their test scores go up, their

654
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: achievement goes up, their participation in class increases. And the

655
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: more you see this research, the more you know that

656
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: it does matter, and you realize what a massive distraction

657
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 3: it is to have that cell phone at the ready.

658
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: I think one of the things that is so interesting

659
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: about this also is talking to parents, teachers, and principles.

660
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: Most of the behavioral issues that take place on school

661
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: campuses find their nexus at the cell phone, and the

662
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: bullying is twenty four to seven. It never stops. So

663
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: putting those phones away for that period of the academic

664
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 3: day forces kids to focus on what they are studying.

665
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 3: It means that kids that go to study hall are

666
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 3: actually doing research work. They're writing papers, they're pulling books

667
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: out of the library shelves. And hearing from librarians about

668
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: the change in behavior during those study halls is something.

669
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: That has not been lost on me, speaking the Senator

670
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: of marsha At Blackburn of Tennessee. When you talk about

671
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: I just want to bring us back to this for

672
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: a second. The social media issues for kids and online

673
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: duty of care?

674
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: Are there social media companies?

675
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 2: Are they just saying that that's impossible, it's too expensive,

676
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: it's not necessary.

677
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the counter argument?

678
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 2: Because usually when it comes to any political issue about children,

679
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: everyone at least pretends that they care about the kids, right,

680
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: I mean, even the big companies pretend.

681
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: So what are they saying in response to this? Why

682
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: would they?

683
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 3: You know?

684
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: Will they go along with it. I mean, why does

685
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: it even require it? And Act by Congress.

686
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: They have proven they cannot police themselves. They have also

687
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: proven that when kids are on those phones, kids are

688
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: the product. And you know, one of the interesting things

689
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: is that every industrial sector in this country has product

690
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: safety standards, whether it's an automobile, a toaster, a mattress,

691
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: a curling iron, everything has a safety standard, everything except

692
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 3: the virtual space. And the reason for that. Big Tech

693
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 3: has spent millions of dollars lobbying last year fourth quarter

694
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: of the year, in order to take down the Kids

695
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: Online Safety Act. Meta hired one lobbyist for every six

696
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: members of Congress and spent twenty million dollars. I'm somebody

697
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 3: that knows what it feels like to have Big Tech

698
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: come barreling after them with lots of lobbyist, lawyers, and

699
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: millions of dollars because they do not want to change

700
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: their business model. They would have to change that business

701
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: model if you put in place a safety by design standard,

702
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 3: if you delink the algorithm so that the algorithm can

703
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 3: be controlled by the parents and the kids and not

704
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 3: controlled by the platform. They don't want that.

705
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: Center Blackburn. Last night, I was at a in the

706
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: black is what it's called event about trying to balance

707
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: a budget. A bunch of people you know were there.

708
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I know you're running for governor, but

709
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: the federal government inability to remotely make decisions that have

710
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: to do. Let's use as an example right now, basic

711
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: election integrity. You're going to be on the ballot in November.

712
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: Tennessee thankfully has really great election integrity. But the fact

713
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: that white, Black, Asian, Hispanic people overwhelmingly believe that you

714
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: should have to show a photo ID in order to

715
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: vote to prove your who you are. What's going to

716
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: happen with that? In the Senate? I think there might

717
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: be a filibuster. How's that process going to play out?

718
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: I still can't believe this is unpassable basically based on

719
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: the Democrat response.

720
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 3: You know, it's an eighty percent issue with the American

721
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 3: people across all different demographic groups. And that's a thing

722
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: that is so interesting, the fact that it has such

723
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: broad bipartisan support. I mean, Zora and Mandami wants you

724
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: to show two forms of ID in order to go

725
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: shovel snow in New York, but he doesn't want you

726
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: to show an ID to vote. What they're trying to

727
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 3: do is make it easy to cheat and hard to vote. Vote.

728
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: We want to make it easy to vote and hard

729
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: to cheat, and we have got to have photo yd

730
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 3: in the Senate. We are going to push the Save

731
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: America Act forward. I look forward to having a vote

732
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 3: on the floor. It should be common sense standard practice

733
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: that you have to be a citizen of the United

734
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: States in order to vote in our elections, and you

735
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 3: have to show an ID and prove who you are.

736
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 3: When it comes to the issue of the balanced budget.

737
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 3: I have supported a balanced budget amendment for the United States.

738
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: We have that in Tennessee. We have to balance our budget.

739
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 3: We can't borrow money or print money. We have to

740
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: be very careful about that and be a good fiscal steward.

741
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 3: It means that some years, the leaner years, you cannot

742
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: do some projects you want to do, and then it

743
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: means when you do have years where you have a surplus,

744
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: you have to be wise about where you place those dollars.

745
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: The federal government should do likewise, and they would be

746
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 3: well served to do likewise.

747
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn appreciates you being with us.

748
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 3: You got it. Take care
