1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Welcome in hour number two Friday edition of the program. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We got 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people weighing in on a variety of 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: different subjects. Latest on Iran Israel. We will dive into Buck. 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: We'll be back with me on Monday, traveling back from 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: France where he has been on the French Rivi Era. 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: We will have a lot of your weigh ins on 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: a variety of different topics. Eight hundred and two two 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: two eight eight two. We're having funds fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: My argument is it's the most influential movie ever made. 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: Also by the way it launched the summer blockbuster era. 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: For those of you who around my age, it's very commonplace. 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: You would get out of school and there would be 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: a roster of incredibly big blockbuster movies that we're all 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: ready to roll. And that is now super commonplace. But 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: back in the day, the idea was, oh, summer is 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of a wall in the box office. People traveling, 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: it's not the time when movies are going to take off. 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: And that changed with Jaws and the summer blockbuster phenomenon. 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: So fiftieth anniversary it is by the way, airing for 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: free on something called over the air television that is 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: free for everybody on NBC at eight o'clock Eastern. So 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: if you've never if you're one of the only people 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: out there who's never seen Jaws, tonight and you are 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: capable of figuring out how to put on NBC, it 26 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: will be free tonight for everybody to watch on the 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary. 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: So went to break Well to start the show. 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: I was running through the fact that Democrats, who hope 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: to be the nominee in twenty twenty eight are mostly 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: ignoring the Wednesday Supreme Court case on the transgender kid issue, 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: which was decided six to three in favor of the 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: state of Tennessee being able to prohibit these treatments. They're 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: pretending that that ruling did not happen. Let me also 35 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 1: point out, along with many other issues out there, if. 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Trump hadn't won the twenty sixteen. 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: Election, this probably would have been a five to four decision. 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee is not able to stop kids from having trans surgery. 39 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I know sometimes that gets lost in the overall larger 40 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: geopolitical picture, but the most consequential thing in terms of 41 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: being able to look at the Supreme Court for generations 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: to come. Was Trump's twenty sixteen election win, because without that, 43 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: a lot of these six to three common sense decisions 44 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: may well have been five to four crazy left wing decisions, 45 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: and a state like Tennessee might not have been able 46 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: to say, hey, we're not going to let fifteen year 47 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: olds chop off their tubes or their penises. That is 48 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: child abuse, and we think it's not a actual medical treatment. 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: So I know sometimes that gets lost in the shuffle. 50 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: But Trump one point zero. If he doesn't win and 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: Hillary is in office, a lot of these rulings that 52 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: have come down are very, very different, and I think 53 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: it's worth keeping in mind as we look ahead. Supreme 54 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Court justices are on the court for life, but some 55 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: of these guys and gals are getting up there into 56 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: their seventies, into their high seventies. And you only have 57 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: to look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg to point to that 58 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: and say, hey, you gotta be careful about staying on 59 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: for too long, because you may not make it to 60 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: where you're in a position where somebody who has a 61 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: judicial philosophy like yours is going to be replacing you. 62 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: And so in the case of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you 63 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: end up with Amy Cony Barrett, who is in the 64 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: majority on this six to three decision. I would like 65 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: to think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would have been smart enough, 66 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: because she is an old school liberal, to have looked 67 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: at a story like this and said this is crazy. 68 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: She's a mom, This is outrageous to allow fourteen and 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: fifteen year olds to do this. But the Democrat orthodoxy 70 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: and the far left wing woke ideology is very strong 71 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: in many of these individuals, and I'm not sure necessarily 72 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: that that would have occurred. Okay, I want to play 73 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: for you. Barack Obama has decided to go back out 74 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: on the interview circuit. And I believe this was a 75 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: Connecticut event where he was sitting and he was talking, 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: and he's talking about misinformation and disinformation, and I want 77 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: to just play this cut for you, and then I 78 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: want to lay out a thesis that I think is 79 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: underlying why Obama is suddenly becoming more outspoken a bit. 80 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 2: Let's listen. 81 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: Our biggest right now is we need democracy and social cohesion. 82 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 2: And trust. 83 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: More than ever, and it's probably as weak as it's 84 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: been since I've been alive, and that's a bad combination. 85 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't actually buy that that's true because Barack Obama. 86 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: What year was Barack Obama born? Guys, will you look 87 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: that up? I think Barack Obama was alive in nineteen 88 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: sixty eight, which I would argue for most people out 89 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: there is the craziest year of most of our lives. 90 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: I would actually put twenty twenty in second place in 91 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: many ways in terms of eras the COVID twenty twenty 92 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: BLM protests, George Floyd, insanity, all of that is right 93 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: up there with nineteen sixty eight. 94 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: They echo with each other. 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: But I think Barack Obama would have been alive in 96 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: nineteen six sixty eight. I believe that I'm accurate on 97 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: that because I think that Barack Obama is about fifteen 98 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: years older than me and is the oldest born in 99 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one. So yeah, he may not remember it well, 100 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: but he was certainly alive for that. What's behind Obama? 101 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: Let me it's a funny one. Let me actually dive 102 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: in here for a minute and tell you where I 103 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: think all this is coming from. So I think that 104 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Obama believed that his two thousand and eight win and 105 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: his twenty twelve win was going to make him one 106 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: of the most transformative figures in American history from a 107 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: presidential perspective, and I think he was quite confident in that, 108 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: and I think he was quite proud of it that 109 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: he is the first non white president half black, half 110 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: lite white half evidently doesn't count, but first non white president. 111 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: And I think he was of the opinion that his 112 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: election in the twenty first century was going to turn 113 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: into a transformative moment and that in the generations to 114 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: come he would echo even more, that he would become 115 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: even more of an iconic figure. 116 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: I don't think it's happened. 117 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: And I think he is looking now at Donald Trump, 118 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: because we just had the ten year anniversary of Trump 119 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: coming down the escalator and announcing that he was going 120 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: to run for president in twenty sixteen, the election cycle 121 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: and now Trump has been elected twice and he's going 122 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: to be in office as long as he stays healthy 123 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: until January of twenty twenty nine. And Trump two point zero, 124 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: I think has the potential to be one of the 125 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: most impactful and consequential terms in office that we have 126 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: ever seen. And if you just use the first one 127 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty ish days of Trump two point zero 128 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: as a proxy. I actually asked Buck this when we 129 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: walked out of the Oval office last week. What is 130 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: Trump even going to do by year three? He's moving 131 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: so fast, And obviously one of the challenges of being 132 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: president is there many different issues that arise that you're 133 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: not really in control of. COVID is a great example 134 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, because I think Trump was on pace 135 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: to have the greatest economy in the history of the world. 136 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: And if COVID doesn't suddenly land in March of twenty twenty, 137 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: even if it landed in March of twenty twenty one 138 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: instead of March of twenty twenty, if it doesn't land 139 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: right in the middle of an American presidential election cycle, 140 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: I think Trump would have rowed that economy in twenty 141 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: twenty no matter what sort of Shenanigan's Democrats tried. I 142 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: think he would have ridden that into an incredibly successful 143 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election campaign. And I think you would have 144 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: crushed Joe Biden. I don't think it would have even 145 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: been remotely close, because remember it would have been they 146 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: would have not been able to hide Biden. They wouldn't 147 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: have been able to send him to the basement. Biden's 148 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: frailties would have been in stark contrast with Trump's virility. 149 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: And I don't even think the election would have been close. 150 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: I think Democrats got thrown a life veest and it 151 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: saved what would have otherwise been a metaphorically drowning Biden 152 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: twenty twenty campaign. And I think a lot of them 153 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: in retrospect now see that. I think it's why they 154 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: played up the fear of COVID all those other things, 155 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: because I think they recognized that they would have lost 156 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: and it would not have been particularly close in twenty twenty. 157 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: But if Trump had won in twenty twenty, I actually 158 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: think his impact would be far less consequential than it 159 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: has been in this term starting in twenty twenty five. 160 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: And I think Obama's having that realization. I think Obama 161 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: suddenly looking around and saying, Okay, if you just think 162 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: about presidents in the last two generations, Ronald Reagan had 163 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: a transformative presidency. I know the Berlin Wall came down 164 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: in George HW. Bush's tenure. A lot of people forget 165 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: about that in nineteen eighty nine, but Reagan had a 166 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: transformative presidency in my life. I would put Reagan as 167 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: the most transformative president. Bill Clinton, I think, had a 168 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: highly successful presidency. And I know people out there are like, yeah, 169 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: well leave leave aside the Intern. As I've said for 170 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: some time, I would rather a president screw an intern 171 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: than the whole country. Okay, Biden screwed the whole country. 172 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: He may not have screwed an intern, but he screwed 173 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: the whole country instead. If you're around my age, most 174 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: of us who grew up and I'm forty six, most 175 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: of us who grew up in the eighties and nineties 176 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: feel like America was pretty awesome in the eighties and nineties. 177 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: That entire generation of kids that grew up in the 178 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: eighties and nineties. I'm not saying we're perfect, but it 179 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: was a sort of a pre internet world where you 180 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: could just get let out on your own. Like I 181 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: laugh about this now, but I rode the school bus 182 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: home from my public school. My parents both worked. They 183 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: just gave me a mace canister on the keychain. I 184 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: was ten, and they were like, hey, if anybody tries 185 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: to kidnap, you just spray them with mace. If I 186 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: suggested that about my ten year old right now. My 187 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: wife would strangle me. What we let kids do in 188 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: the seventies, eighties, and nineties, and don't even get me started. 189 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure in the fifties and sixties. And then my 190 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: mom says, when she was growing up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 191 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: they had ponies, and her mom would just be like, hey, 192 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: you and your brother get on your ponies and just 193 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: be back before dark. You got on a horse and 194 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: just rode off into the distance in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 195 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties, and my grandma was just like, yeah, 196 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: just make sure you're back before dark. Do you know 197 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: how far you could go on a horse? And they 198 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: are just like, hey, you'll be fine. You're eight, Get 199 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: on the horse, just ride around for a while. We'll 200 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: see you later. Take a pack lunch. So I can 201 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: see why my mom thought, well, he's just riding the 202 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: school bus. It's super safe. But you know, protectionism of 203 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: kids has grown immensely. But I think most people look 204 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: back at the eighties and nineties and they say, Okay, 205 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: the Reagan era, the Clinton era, most people were pretty 206 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: happy in the country. And then I think, and this 207 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: is where you know, I'm gonna have to dive into 208 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: this because some of you made disagree. But I think 209 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: George W. Bush was an unmitigated disaster. Came in with 210 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: a balanced budget nine to eleven, happens we end up 211 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: in war with Iraq. Dick Cheney's a disaster. That's why 212 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: I think the idea that Liz and he endorsed Kamala. 213 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: A lot of you are like good. Dick Cheney's the 214 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: worst vice president in the history of the United States. 215 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to expound on this thesis, but I 216 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: think what Obama is slowly starting to recognize is that 217 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: what he thought was going to be a transformative presidency 218 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: that was the story of the twenty first century in 219 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: terms of excellent leadership, he has been totally overtaken by Trump. 220 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: Trump is far more consequential and far more successful than 221 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: Obama ever would have been, and it's a direct result 222 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: of Obama's failed policies that Trump was enabled. And even 223 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: beyond that, I think there's an argument that the only 224 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: reason Trump even got into office was because Obama taunted 225 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: him and Trump said, screw this, I'm not staying on 226 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: the sidelines anymore. So Obama might have chosen the method 227 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: of his own destruction, just like in Ghostbusters. And it's 228 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: Trump and I think Obama's starting to recognize it. We'll 229 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk about this more. But maybe you 230 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: need some energy in your life, some vin bigger vitality. 231 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: Longest day of the year coming up right now, tomorrow 232 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: is the longest day of the year, Summer Solstice. 233 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: I think I got that right. 234 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: It is going to be daylight out longer than any 235 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: other day of the year.

I'm gonna 257 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: expound on this Obama idea and why he's suddenly looking 258 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: around and saying, wait a minute, the future that I 259 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: thought was going to be here is not in fact here. 260 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: And I think he caused Trump because again, if you 261 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: just go back and I'm talking about the last two 262 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: generations and you're just kind of running down the list, 263 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, Reagan boom, huge success. Clinton screwed an 264 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: in turn didn't screw the whole country. Most people, I 265 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: would say, liked the nineties two thousand. I think George W. 266 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: Bush unmitigated disaster. I think George W. Bush is the 267 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: worst two term president. When you talk about getting us 268 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: into a war, wasting trillions of dollars, I think Trump calling. 269 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: Out George W. 270 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: Bush is when a lot of people really perked up 271 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: for the first time and said, this is a different 272 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: kind of candidate. And I think it actually underscores much 273 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: of the debate we're having right now about Iran and 274 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: what the American response should be, because a lot of 275 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: you that are not in favor of aggressive American foreign 276 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: policy are of that opinion because of the lies you 277 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: were told about. 278 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: Iraq and Afghanistan. 279 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: So then you move into the you know, look, Biden 280 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: is clearly the worst president in the last two generations, 281 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: and I don't even think Democrats are going to argue 282 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: against that. Trump was right when he said Jimmy Carter 283 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: died happy because at least he knows he's no longer 284 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,359 Speaker 1: the worst president. But both Carter and Biden were accidental presidents. 285 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: Carter brought on by the Watergate situation, Biden brought on 286 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: by COVID and the rig job that surrounded the twenty 287 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: twenty election. But I think Obama now, looking back, you're 288 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: going to have those twin double terms of Obama and 289 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: of Trump, and historians for decades are going to be arguing, hey, 290 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: who was the most transformative figure of the twenty first century, 291 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: and I think Obama's starting to recognize the answers Trump, 292 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: that Trump is going to be far more impactful, and 293 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: that Barack Obama's presidency is going to slide into the 294 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: recesses of history because he got a lot of things wrong, 295 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: in particular Iran, which we'll talk about and how it 296 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: underscoes some of the differences between these two when we 297 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: come back. But I think on the long march of history, 298 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: Obama is starting to recognize uh oh, Trump has passed me. 299 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: I was mentioning a minute ago. My mom texted me. 300 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: She said I wasn't just pack your lunch. My grandma 301 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: also said, take a canteen full of water and just 302 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: go off and ride on a horse wherever you want 303 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: to go all day long on long Chattanooga summer days. 304 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: You and your brother will be fine. That was the 305 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. By now, maybe you're not really willing to 306 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: just give your kid a canteen, a horse, and a 307 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: packet of lunch and say go.

A lot 323 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: of different people wanting to weigh in eight hundred and 324 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: two two eight A two as we are rolling in 325 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: to the weekend, and this is the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. 326 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: But also I feel like we should just be coming 327 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: back in on the fiftieth anniversary with that iconic soundtrack 328 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: from Jaws every single segment here because I would submit 329 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 1: to you it's probably the most iconic soundtrack that has 330 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: ever existed. John Williams, am I correct about that, was 331 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: the creator of that soundtrack, And I feel like it's 332 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: what Barack Obama is hearing in the back of his 333 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: mind every time he sees Donald Trump with another press 334 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: conference in the White House, that his legacy is just 335 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: slowly being devoured by Trump. And look, it remains to 336 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: be seen. And I think the conversation is going to 337 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: shift in the wake of the midterms. Whatever happens in 338 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: the midterms, the conversation is going to turn to, Okay, 339 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: what is Trump's long range legacy because He's gonna undoubtedly 340 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: have dominated the American body politic from twenty fifteen till 341 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine. But if jad Vance or Marco Rubio 342 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: or someone who is in the Trump school is the 343 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: next man up or the next woman up who knows 344 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: towards being elected president of the United States, and I 345 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: think that's likely to happen because I think Democrats are 346 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: so lost, then the Trump legacy is only going to 347 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: continue to grow. And that's where I think the twenty 348 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: twenty four election. You guys know I'm a history nerd. 349 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty four election ended the Trump is an 350 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: accidental president narrative, because that's what they tried to say, Oh, 351 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. 352 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: He kind of snuck up on people. They never saw 353 00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 2: him come. 354 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: Hillary should have campaigned more in Michigan, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. 355 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: He only won that election by a tiny amount. Oh 356 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: this is just Democrats were asleep at the wheel. And 357 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: then Biden gets elected and they try to put Trump 358 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: in prison for the rest of his life. And then 359 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: he comes back and he wins the greatest Republican presidential 360 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: victory since. 361 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty eight. 362 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that is the greatest Republican presidential 363 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: victory since nineteen eighty eight. It turned Trump into a 364 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: transformative political figure that even his critics can't disavow. They 365 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: really can't argue against it now. And I don't think 366 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: anything that happens in this term is going to change 367 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the fact that Trump is the most consequential and transformative 368 00:21:53,640 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: American presidential contender and candidate and president of the twenty 369 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: first century. And I think Obama is slowly coming to 370 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: realization with that. And I also think the sort of 371 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: the artifice of the Obamas is kind of being torn 372 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: down because whatever you think about Barack, you know, he 373 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: talked a lot about, oh, we need more common facts 374 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: and everything else. I would love for Obama, who I 375 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: always found to be most likable, whatever you think about 376 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: him presidentially, because he raised two young daughters while still 377 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: being in the White House, and he coached their basketball team. 378 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: You guys, remember this, This was you know, leave aside 379 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: everything else. I found two things Obama as a dad 380 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: to me, I thought was the best version of Obama 381 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: just in terms of his public persona. 382 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 2: And there were two things. 383 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: One he coached his girls' basketball team, the young girls 384 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: basketball team, and on that aspect it how has no 385 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: one ever asked Obama, you had two daughters, what do 386 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: you think about men pretending to be women playing and 387 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: winning women's sports championships? He gets interviewed all the time, 388 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: never asked by the way, Joe Biden was never asked 389 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: that question. Now I know Biden tried to hide from 390 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: the media. Kamala Harris was never asked that question. If 391 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: you wonder about Democrat Party and big media legacy media collusion, 392 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: sometimes you can just see it by the questions themselves 393 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: being asked. How is it possible that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, 394 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris have never been asked what they think 395 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: about men in women's sports, No one has ever thought 396 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: to ask that question. They certainly have never addressed it 397 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: on their own, But no opposition figure in the media 398 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: that's trying to speak truth to power and ask questions 399 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: of people in positions no one's ever asked that question. 400 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: Is that remarkable when you really think about it. I 401 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: bet if when Obama was coaching his ten year old daughter, 402 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: if there had suddenly been a fourteen year old boy 403 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: trying to play in their league, he would have. 404 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: Been like, no, no, no, this is ridiculous. 405 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: I think dad of two daughters who played sports, Obama 406 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: actually thinks this is ridiculous. But he's talking about the 407 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: importance of speaking honestly to audience and how we've lost trust. 408 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: Why won't he speak out on that. I think it's 409 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: a really interesting question because I would submit to you, 410 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: and I really do believe this is true. Even in 411 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: this Iran and Iraq debate. It isn't that you have 412 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: to agree with Trump on everything. It's that you believe 413 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: that he will be straight with you about what he believes. 414 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: What matters more than whether you agree with someone in 415 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: this era that we're in right now is whether you 416 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: think they are being authentic about what they believe with you, 417 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: and I would submit to you for any man that 418 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: is in the Democrat Party right now, certainly any heterosexual man. 419 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: If they are unwilling to say men shouldn't be in 420 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: women's sports, they're lying to you. And if you're not 421 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 1: willing to take that stand because you're afraid of what 422 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the blowback may be, then I can't trust you on 423 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: anything else. But one Obama coaching his daughters two and 424 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: I always think this is good. When his daughters were 425 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: going to prom, I don't remember the exact quote, but 426 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: they asked Obama, hey, have you weighed in on basically 427 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: who your daughters are going to going dating or who 428 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: they're going to prom with? And he said, you know 429 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: something along the line. You know, I'm President of the 430 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: United States. I have to make super important decisions every day. 431 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: My daughters think my opinion on boys are completely ridiculous. 432 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: And the reason why I like both of those things 433 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: is they have nothing to do with being president of 434 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: the United States, but they humanize him as a normal guy. 435 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: I've talked about this with Trump. I thought they did 436 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: a great job with this. In twenty twenty four. Trump 437 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: has a phenomenal relationship with his grandkids. He really does. 438 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: They like him. When they interact with him, you can 439 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: tell how much they enjoy being around him. He is 440 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: a very likable and involved grandpa. You know Laura Trump, 441 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: his daughter in law. Trump took his youngest daughter. I 442 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 2: think it was in North Carolina, the grandparents to school day. 443 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: I don't know what it's officially called. Probably grandparents to 444 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: school day. My own parents have done that. Trump walks 445 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 2: in little girl, holding her hand. We didn't see as 446 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 2: much of that in Trump one point zho. I think 447 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: they leaned into it on Trump two point zero, because one, 448 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: he's probably gotten a little bit older. But two, I 449 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: think Trump got more comfortable with that aspect of his personality. 450 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: Trump has a really good relationship with his kids and 451 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: a very good relationship with his grandkids, irrespective of his 452 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: particular politics. I think that humanizes him, and I think 453 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 2: that connects with the larger American public in a good way, 454 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: because he's also a dad and a grandpa. And I 455 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: think that, even though he has a great deal of power, 456 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 2: connects in a very positive way there. But sometimes when 457 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: people start talking and they talk more and more, you 458 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 2: realize how much they were protected by the legacy media, 459 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 2: and they weren't actually very likable ever, and I think 460 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: that's becoming true of Michelle Obama. 461 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: I had him pull a clip. I don't know why 462 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: she needed to do a podcast. Michelle Obama has been 463 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: probably the most protected person in all of American presidential 464 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: politics in my life, in that no one was ever 465 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: able to say, by and large, anything at all negative 466 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: about her. And the more she has spoken out in 467 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: the post presidency, the more ungrateful, the more unlikable she 468 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: has been. I said this at the time when she 469 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: didn't show up for Jimmy Carter's presidential funeral, I thought 470 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: it was an insult to the country. 471 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 2: To me, I get it, it stinks. 472 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: You may not have a personal relationship with Jimmy Carter 473 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: very much, but to me, you owe the American public 474 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: a display of the barest, barest minimum of gratitude to 475 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: show up at a funeral like that. Barack Obama showed up. 476 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: She wasn't willing to, And then she said, well, I 477 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: didn't even want them to pack me address, so I 478 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: didn't even have to worry about it, Like you can't 479 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: even pack your own dress. She is so out of 480 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: touch and so frankly unlikable that every time a new 481 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: episode of her podcast drops, her likability goes down even more. 482 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: And here she is, I think this just came out 483 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: this week. If I'm not mistaken, guys, you can correct me. 484 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: Here she is saying she's glad she had daughters because 485 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: otherwise she would have had a son and he might 486 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: have been like Barack Obama. 487 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 2: Listen, you should have threw a boy in the mix. 488 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I didn't have a boy, yet he 489 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: would have been a Barack Obama. 490 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 2: No, I would have felt for him. 491 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, your husband was the President of the United States. 492 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: You had two daughters. Oh, I didn't want to have 493 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: a son because he would have been like my husband. 494 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: You mean, the guy who got elected President of the 495 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: United States and went to Harvard Law School and was 496 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: the editor of the Harvard Law Review. Whatever you think 497 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,719 Speaker 1: about Obama, like way smarter than Joe Biden, way smarter 498 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: than Kamala Harris. I wouldn't have wanted to have a 499 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: son that was like my husband. Really, the more Michelle 500 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: Obama speaks, the sadder I feel for Barack Obama for 501 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: having to be married to her. She doesn't seem like 502 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: a very fun person to be around. She seems like 503 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: an entitled, arrogant brat, and think about how much she 504 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: was protected by the legacy media people over time. One 505 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: reason that it's hard to attack me is because when 506 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: you do live radio for three hours every day, you're 507 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect, but you can't act. 508 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: I would have to be the. 509 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: Greatest actor in the history of mankind to come on 510 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: this show and pretend to be something that is different 511 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: from what I am in the real world. If you 512 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: had my wife on this program and asked her, hey, 513 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: when Clay started doing radio, I guarantee you she would 514 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: answer this, how nervous were you? And she said all 515 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: the time? She would say all the time, I was 516 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: insanely nervous the sports talk radio. 517 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: Because she was so afraid. 518 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: When she listened, she would cringe because she would be like, oh, 519 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: you can't say that on radio. There is almost no 520 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: difference between what public opinions I would share with all 521 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: of you millions people listening right now, and what I 522 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: would say if you happen to be having a meal 523 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: with me. There is very little difference between Clay Travis 524 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: on the radio. I think Buck would say the same 525 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: thing for better or worse, and Clay Travis'. 526 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 2: Real life. 527 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: And authenticity destroys cancel culture. 528 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: They tried to cancel Trump. 529 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: The problem is people have gotten to know him and 530 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: you may not agree with him, but there isn't very 531 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: much difference between public and private Trump, and so the 532 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: attacks don't register. You know, they found before Biden dropped out, 533 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: they were running all these attack ads on Trump and 534 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: they were testing them and they found that they actually 535 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: benefited Trump. That's a sign that's pretty incredible when they're 536 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: running ads talking about how awful you are and people 537 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: are watching them and it actually makes them like Trump more. 538 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: And I think the reason why was people decided, yeah, 539 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: this guy's being attacked too much. They're coming after him 540 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: too aggressively, and it isn't actually in any way. 541 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: Legitimate. 542 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: And so I think the more we hear of Michelle Obama, 543 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: who didn't speak very much publicly before and was protected, 544 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: and they you know, probably negotiate. 545 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: Every interview she did, and they knew. 546 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Exactly what dress they were gonna put her in, because 547 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: god forbid, she actually dressed herself, and they knew exactly 548 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: what the lighting was gonna be. And they knew the 549 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: seven questions they were gonna ask her, and now on 550 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: a podcast which is somewhat unscripted, it's still not live, right, 551 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: So if she really truly is unlikable in a segment, 552 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: they can just erase it and you never see it, 553 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: or they can go full Megan Markle and they cannot 554 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: even have That's actually very funny. 555 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: People just kind of forgot about it. 556 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: My wife hates Megan Markle, listens to all the British 557 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: podcasts about how awful Meghan Markle is to me. I 558 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: thought the funniest thing about Megan Markle's podcast that who 559 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: was she doing the podcast with? 560 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: Was it. 561 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: Spotify? Whoever she did that deal with. She had so 562 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: little respect for podcasting that the reports are that other 563 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: people asked the questions of the people she was supposed 564 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: to interview, and she later went back in and recorded 565 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: the questions and they inserted it made it look like 566 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: she had actually done the interview. Now I think they 567 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: have denied that, but there's also people who said, yeah, yeah, 568 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: she did that. Can you imagine taking twenty million dollars 569 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: for a podcast and not even being willing to sit 570 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: and ask the questions yourself. That is the bare minimum. 571 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: Somebody could just give you a list of questions and 572 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: you just have to sit there for an hour and 573 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: ask it of whatever ignoramus you're interviewing. 574 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 2: She wasn't even willing to do that. 575 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: The more Michelle Obama talks, this is one Buck was 576 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: right about. I thought she was likable. I bought into, Hey, 577 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: she's got to be better than Kamala Harris. I think 578 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama is actually way less likable than Kamala Harris. 579 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: I do, and I think many people out there are 580 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: seeing the figment, the dishonest coverage that allowed Michelle Obama 581 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: to be built up into this paragon of virtue, and 582 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: actually she's just an entitled brat. And the more she talks, 583 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: the more I feel sorry for Barack Obama for having 584 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: to live with her. 585 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: I really do. 586 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: Look, I want to tell you we've got a ton 587 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: of problems going on right now.
