I would argue it's one of the 31 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: most iconic guitar riffs of the nineteen nineties, one of 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: the most memorable, the one that really sticks out. I'm 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: just wondering how this came together. You know, this is 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: like our behind the music moment here because were you 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: just you know, you're hanging out on the beach with 36 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: a with an acoustic and having some fun. I mean, 37 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: how did this come together? Man? We used to have 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: a warehouse in Anaheim, were you know, the band's originally 39 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: from Anaheim, California, and we had a warehouse that was 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: a man cave. Before that, you know, we knew what 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: a man cave was and we spent every night there 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: for several hours, and that's where we practiced and wrote 43 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: and hung out with our friends and did all that stuff. 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: And that riff just sort of spilled out one night 45 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: and can I did you remember just you remember playing 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: it and realizing, oh, that's really good. I mean, we 47 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: thought it was cool, but we think all our songs 48 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: are cool when we're writing them, you know. So it 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: actually one of our good buddies, Tony, who was kind 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: of like the unofficial fifth member, he was kind of like, 51 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't really liked that song. 52 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: So we ended up we didn't play it for a 53 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: few shows because we were self conscious about it because 54 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: Tony didn't like it. And but yeah, what a crazy 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: what a crazy thing man? Two notes and and some 56 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: lyrics that were probably written to be made changed or 57 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: modified when we had time to get to it, and 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: then it just sort of took off and became something 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: that we would have never dreamed that it became, and 60 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: really just blessed and it's crappy. Yet just yesterday we 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: got we must have had one hundred thousand you messages 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: sent to us. There was that viral video yesterday of 63 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: the bride playing drums to it at our wedding, and 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: it's just like a weekly thing where it's just like 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: it just takes on this life of its own and 66 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: it's just crazy. Jeremy. One thing that Buck and I 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure we did when they told us 68 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: that the music was coming up and we needed to 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: come up with a new open to our hours was 70 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: we said, we don't want to end up with a 71 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: musician or a group that doesn't like our audience and 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: doesn't respect our perspective. And I was so excited to 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: know you you relocated your family from California to Tennessee 74 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and you were super upset with all of the restrictions 75 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: that we're going on with COVID, and so when I 76 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: told Buck that, he was like, oh man, these are 77 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: our guys. But kind of explain how you ended up 78 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: making the move to Nashville and what your response was 79 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to the government telling you, hey, this is what you 80 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: can do, this is what you can't do. There's a 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: lot of musicians now that seem to embrace the nanny state, 82 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: when oftentimes artists and musicians historically have been about rebelling 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: against the power structure. There's an awful lot of musicians 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: and artists now who say, hey, regulate me more, which 85 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: to me is the antithesis of what art should be. 86 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: It's crazy how how full circle it's come with a 87 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: lot of musicians and especially like you know, the guys 88 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: that are you know, supposedly more punk rock and more 89 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: edgy or alternative, and they have just sort of gone 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: the way of the buffalo and just sort of follow 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: whatever they're being told to do. And you know, we're 92 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: just look, we're an American rock and roll band. We we 93 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: we we were very um, just middle class dudes that 94 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: grew up in Anaheim, which is not the you know, 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: it is not the fancy part of Orange County. And 96 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: we just were hard working, do it yourself guys who 97 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: who believed it much more of just you know, our 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: our freedom is not negotiable, and uh, leave us alone, 99 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: let us do our thing. And and and we're also 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're not um. We played by the rules. 101 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, we're respectful dudes, and we're family guys, and 102 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: we have our values and stuff. But we're just kind 103 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: of like, hey man, you know, we're we're growing. Ask men, now, 104 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: leave us alone, you know, and let us let us 105 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: do We're you know, we're not hurt anybody. We're gonna 106 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: do what we want to do. But it blows our 107 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: minds to see just how many of our peers have 108 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: have just like they lost their balls somewhere along the 109 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: way or something. Now, that's well said. I think that's right. 110 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: We're speaking right now to Jeremy pop Off, lead guitarists 111 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: of the band Lit And for those of you who 112 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: are wondering where that where that music, the song that 113 00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: you're hearing the top of the show comes from Worth 114 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of Clay and Buck. We've got 115 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: this new theme song that gets everybody uh fired up. 116 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: And you know, do you do you think Jeremy that 117 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: there's I think right now I'm gonnall just put this 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: out there. There's a little bit of a turning away 119 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: from the monolith in the arts that we've seen, or 120 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: just the the demand that everybody, whether you're in whether 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: you're in sports, whether you're in Hollywood, where you're in music, 122 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: that that entertainment is just so the province of only 123 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: one side of the national conversation. Do you think we're 124 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: heading toward a little bit at least. I'm not even 125 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: saying people that are republican or conservative necessarily who are 126 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: are in music and in the arts, but just understanding 127 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: that without freedom, you actually can't be an artist, and 128 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: therefore you have to actually defend individual freedom at some level. 129 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: And I mean, look, I think the reason why your 130 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: show is number one in so many markets and is 131 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: so you know, pop are and refreshing, is because I 132 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: don't think that it's so. I don't think it's about 133 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: being far right or far left. I think it's about 134 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: people are starting to realize, like you guys are just 135 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: you guys, just make sense. It's just common sense, and 136 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: it's it's not about politics. It's about like, what what 137 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: are we doing here? And it's and it's it's so 138 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: much more. When I listen to you guys, I'm just like, who, 139 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: who's going to disagree with this? Right now? It doesn't 140 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? We feel the same way. 141 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: We we we feel like everyone should be listening to agree. 142 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: So there you go. Well, I think it's a balance 143 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: of you know, we all get together with our buddies 144 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: and I've listened. I've got a lot of friends from 145 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: all over the spectrum of beliefs and religions and faiths 146 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: and politics or whatever. And you know, at the end 147 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: of the day, we all get together and have a beer, 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: and we agree on on way more than we disagree on, 149 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, and uh, and all we really all want 150 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: to do is be happy and healthy and raise our 151 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: families and and uh and be able to have a 152 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: shot at at you know, the American dream. So who 153 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: who doesn't agree with that? And and then call me 154 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: and let's and let's have a conversation about it, because 155 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't you know, I don't understand how 156 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: you were not on that page. You know, Jeremy, you 157 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: and I met for the first time with Tommy larn 158 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: We were out watching an Alabama LSU football game in 159 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty in Nashville when there were still our restrictions 160 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: on how long bars could be open. Our mutual friend 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Steve Ford, owns a bunch of bars in downtown Nashville 162 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: and was chomping at the bit over what was allowed. 163 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: And we left that bar to go back to your house, 164 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: and you had the Utah football game on. By the way, 165 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: where in Salt Lake City is one of the cities 166 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: where we're number one, and I walked in. I was like, Oh, 167 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: this guy must be a pretty big college football fan. 168 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: Your son was a student manager, it turns out, on 169 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the Utah football team, and so you were watching that game. 170 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: But I'd always been a fan of your band, and 171 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: certainly of the of the iconic songs that you've produced, 172 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: including the one that we're using to start every hour. 173 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: But that was where I said, oh, man, this is 174 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: this is a dude who overlaps with me in a 175 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: lot of different areas. And that was during a time 176 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: when the city of Nashville was trying to say you 177 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: couldn't have more than like five people in your house, 178 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: which kind of goes to the whole point of how 179 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: absurd all this was. Well, if you remember that night too, 180 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean the cops were called from a neighbor and yeah, 181 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: it ended up being a whole thing, a whole lot. 182 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: What happened. Yeah, by the way, for people who don't know, 183 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: we went back to watch college football games and have 184 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: some drinks. When the bars were shutting down your house 185 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: in Davidson County, which is where Nashville is, the cops 186 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: showed up. I think they were like fifteen or twenty 187 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: people there. It wasn't like it was a you know, 188 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: raging house party. Everybody was pretty much indoors, just having 189 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: a few drinks and watching some football. It wasn't even 190 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: that late. And the cops came. I mean, which, by 191 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: the way, is just that woman of how crazy it was. 192 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: Whatever ended up happening with that, Well, that was my 193 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: brother's house that time. And uh, and yeah, I mean 194 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: he got arrested and and uh, he had to go 195 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: to court. You had to do community service and pay 196 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: a fine and hire a lawyer. And and yeah, you're right. 197 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: It was about fifteen people there, and I would say, 198 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, eight of them were standing out on the deck, 199 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, having a cigar or a cigarette or whatever. 200 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: And there was a handful in the house is also, 201 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: you know, a four thousand square foot house, um with 202 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: plenty of space and tall ceilings and everything else. And 203 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: and and it was and you know, they came into 204 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: the backyard, if you remember, and they were like filming 205 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: us from the backyard. It was a real odd, odd experience. 206 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: And honestly, I think it was probably the next day 207 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: that my wife and I started looking at houses outside 208 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: of Nashville. We ended stood out by you out in Franklin, 209 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: and so it sounds like Fouci was going to appears. 210 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: This is Nashville, Tennessee, a city known for creativity and 211 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: people having a good time. We're not talking about like 212 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: four hundred people at a house and they arrested your 213 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: brother for having like fifteen of us over and for 214 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: violating the law about how many people you could have 215 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: over at your own home. And a bunch of those people, 216 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: to his point, were standing on the backyard deck outdoors 217 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: smoking cigars or drinking beers around a little fire pit, 218 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, Yeah, right, it was. It was 219 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: pretty insane. Um. Yeah, you know, Gavin Degrab was there 220 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: that night too, and I remember standing out there talking 221 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: to the officers out in the street, which, by the way, 222 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, God bless them, and they were just enforcing 223 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: some silly order that they were handed down and by 224 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: the mayor, and you know, they weren't stoked on getting 225 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, they drew the short straw that night and 226 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: had to be on you know, house patrol shift or whatever. 227 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: But they kind of had a look on their faces like, yeah, 228 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: tell us about it. This sucks, you know. And but 229 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: I remember Gavin say to a couple of them, like, so, 230 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're telling me that if I have 231 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: a twenty thousand square foot house, I could still only 232 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: have fifteen people over or eight people or whatever the 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: number was. But it was one of those things where 234 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: it just didn't make any right, It didn't make any sense. 235 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: It's like if a one bedroom apartment is the same 236 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: as a you know, six bedroom house or there was. 237 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: None of them made any sense, Jeremy, because all those 238 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: people got COVID probably twice anyway. And don't even get 239 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: me started on the next how perfect of a Nashville 240 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: story would it be?

I mean, I 243 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: feel like people are going to look back on this 244 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: and say, this is one of the dumbest things that's 245 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: ever occurred in the United States history. Yeah, all right, Jeremy, 246 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: how do people check out are you guys still on 247 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: tour or where can that go?

My 305 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: nephew formed the band in two thousand and four. Team 306 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: named it the Clinton Administration for our love of nineties 307 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: alternative rock.

Two things 316 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: that I'm absolutely certain of he would want us to 317 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: follow through on. Serve his audience, try to save the country. 318 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: That's what we're focused on every day. That's what we're 319 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: trying to do. If Rush, if we could have him 320 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: from heaven now speak to all of us, he would say, 321 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: serve my audience, guys, help save the country.

As Republicans are poised to 330 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: take back at least the House and maybe the Senate. 331 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: We are joined now by one of the true truth 332 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: tellers of COVID, who has tried to hold doctor Fauci 333 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: accountable for the lies that he has told, Senator Ran 334 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: Paul the Great State of Kentucky. Senator, when you saw 335 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: the news break just within the last hour or so, first, 336 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Second, what was your thoughts? What 337 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: were your immediate actions to Fauci stepping down? You know, 338 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: I thought for some time that he will flee as 339 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: soon as he thinks that he'll be given accurate and 340 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: poignant questions, And I think he won't want to stand 341 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: up to the scrutiny. But the thing is is even 342 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: out of public service, he can be subpoenaed, and I say, 343 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: absolutely we should. The origins of the virus are very important, 344 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: not just for culpability, not just because he funded the 345 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: lab where this virus and all likelihood originated, but it's 346 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: important because we need to get to the bottom of 347 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: trying to prevent something like this from happening again. And 348 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he has been honest in the immediate 349 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: aftermath of them finding out the sequence of the RNA 350 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: for this virus, a host of his buddies. We're emailing 351 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: him all day and all night long, saying, oh, my goodness, 352 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: this looks like it was manipulated in the lab. After 353 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: they all get together and have a meeting, this meeting 354 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: has been redacted. We can't see the information that happened 355 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: to this meeting. When this meeting occurs, then all of 356 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: a sudden as their tune and they say, oh, if 357 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: you think it came from a lab, you're a conspiracy theorist. 358 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 1: So the thing is is something went on. I think 359 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: there was a cover up, and we need to get 360 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. And I think he holds 361 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: the knowledge to this, and I think he needs to 362 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: be asked these questions under oath. Senator Paul, It's buck, 363 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: we appreciate, and really, speaking for this audience, we all 364 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: appreciate your being one of the very few who, for 365 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: two years now has been willing to ask Fauci in 366 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: a forum where he had to really answer questions that 367 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: he clearly didn't want to because he was being dishonest 368 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: with the American people. It's more than just him, though, 369 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: the NIH, the CDC, these multi billion dollars a year 370 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: government federal institutions seem to be abject failures. Now, I 371 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: mean we have the data, we have the results. What 372 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: does accountability look like? You're a US senator? What could 373 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: be done here? Transparency for one, through for you through 374 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: freedom of information. Outside organizations have found out that eighteen 375 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: hundred do that are on the payroll. DNIH also received 376 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety three million dollars in royalties from 377 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical companies. And we should be told, without question, 378 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: we should be told whether or not any of those 379 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: people sit on the vaccine committees did any of them 380 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: receive royalties from the companies that make the vaccines. So 381 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: when I asked doctor Faucie this question and got all 382 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: up in arms, started rattling on, and then what he 383 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: said was the law allows us to keep this secret, 384 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: and we were protected by the law, and we do 385 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: not have to tell you. So right now they won't 386 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: tell us. And it may be that nobody's receiving royalties 387 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: from the vaccine. I hope that's what's true. But the 388 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: thing is the fact that they won't tell us makes 389 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: us suspicious, and I don't think this should be protected. 390 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: I think this should be completely transparent. We should know 391 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: whether anybody has a self interest, who is determining whether 392 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: or not to approve of vaccine or any drug. Senator Paul, 393 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: do you think, based on the testimony that you've seen 394 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: from doctor Faucci and the evidence, as you mentioned, some 395 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: of it is still fully public, that Fauci should be 396 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: investigated in base potentially criminal charges for his actions related 397 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: to COVID. I think that he did lie to Congress 398 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: when he said that there wasn't any gain of function 399 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: research going on in Wuhan that we've already had. We've 400 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: already had testimony from scientists contradicting that, So I don't 401 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: think he has been honest. But I think there's also 402 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: some of the emails that we got from Freedom of 403 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: information acts say between he and doctor Collins that if 404 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: this came from the lab, it wouldn't be good for science. 405 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: So there's already sort of this conjecture out there among 406 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: their emails that we need to make sure people don't 407 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: believe this came from the lab because it won't be 408 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: good for science. But what they mean by that is 409 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: it won't be good for our funding and our enormous 410 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: salaries that we take from government. So yes, I think 411 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: he's self interested. I think they're all conflicted in interest 412 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: and when I hit our hearing recently on gain of function, 413 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: all three scientists said that we should be treating this 414 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: type of research the same way we treat nuclear secrets. 415 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: So if you make centrifuges to enrich uranium, you can't 416 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: just go on eBay and sell them to Iran or 417 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: Russia or China. We don't allow that. We have controls 418 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: export controls on nuclear technology. All three of these scientists 419 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: agreed that we should have export controls on DNA technology 420 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: and that we shouldn't willy nilly just put up on 421 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: the Internet and say, hey, guys, I just took a 422 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: fifty percent mortality virus and I made it areosolized so 423 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: it can infect people through the air. You know, that's 424 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that's being published with no oversight 425 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: of whether or not if that gets into the wrong hands, 426 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: whether that would be knowledge that might be devastating for 427 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: the world. Doctor Paul, you're also well, I just said it. 428 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: You're a doctor as well as a senator. A lot 429 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: of people, I would certainly put myself high on this list, 430 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: are very disappointed in how few medical doctors came forward 431 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: during this to say things like masking up children outside 432 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: on the ground during school hours, when it's thirty degrees 433 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: during lunch is child abuse? Is crazy? You shouldn't do this, 434 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, double masking kids for eight hours a day 435 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: in school for that we could go through the list 436 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: all day. How do you think we start to turn 437 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: that around? Because I know a lot of people have 438 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: lost faith, certainly an institutional medicine. I mean they may 439 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: like their own GP, and you know, I like my GP. 440 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean there are people that are have been honest 441 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: in the medical profession throughout this, but institutions, big hospitals, research, 442 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: medical research agencies seem like they've just fallen down on 443 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: the job. Let me get this straight. You guys are 444 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: trying to tell me that when they took the nets 445 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: off the basketball goals outside of that didn't save anybody's life. 446 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: Apparently not. I mean, this is it. This is this. 447 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: In the fourteenth century, they would have laughed at some 448 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: of the stupid stuff we did. Police tape on the 449 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: jungle job, you know, beating up people outside who are 450 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: playing outside, you know, with their children. Ridiculous. In Louisville 451 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: in state, as of today, they're putting kids in masks. 452 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: There is no science behind that one the kids have 453 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: already had it. And this is a question I've asked Abouchi, 454 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: if my child has already had COVID, what's the chance 455 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: that he goes to the hospital or dies from getting 456 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: it again. I think the answer is zero. I don't 457 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: think there's been a case reported if somebody who's already 458 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: had COVID who got it again and died a child. 459 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: Now there maybe there are some adults, but even that's unusual. 460 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: But the thing is is there's absolutely no reason if 461 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: your child has ad COVID, one to forcing an inoculation 462 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: on them and two to put him ask on them. 463 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: And the death rate from the severe COVID from the 464 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: first round the wild type was about one and two million. 465 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: It's less than that now. I think it was approaching zero, 466 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: the death rate for kids. And you know, we can't 467 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: let these people continue to rule our lives. They're not 468 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: making their decisions based on science. It's pseudoscience, and it's 469 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: really their predilection for control of other humans, their predilection 470 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: for the nanny state that overrides any sense of any 471 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: kind of understanding aside, just real quick, I mean, doctor Paul, 472 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: whenever I go into a doctor's office now, or I 473 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: had to visit a family umber the hospital. They still 474 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: act like the mask is super important, and that dramatically 475 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: undermines my belief that these are intelligent human beings. So 476 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: what can we do about this. It's not that the 477 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: master are important. Their pay is important. The government won't 478 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: pay them if they don't wear a mask. So all 479 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: these people, it's being mandated by mask. Now. I know 480 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: some doctors who are defying them, but most doctors are 481 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: afraid of It's like a bank. So if you go 482 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: in the bank and it's a really stupid rule, but 483 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: they threatened the bank with taking their license away, the 484 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: bank adheres to every stupid rule we give them. Same 485 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: with doctors. If you threaten to take away their ability 486 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: to charge Medicare, which is half of the public is 487 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: on medicare half the people going to doctors or more 488 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: depending on your specialty, the doctors will comply. Not one 489 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: of these doctors believes the masks. I talked to them 490 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: all the time. I used to be a member of 491 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: a clinic here town with over one hundred doctors. Every 492 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: one of them will tell me they're sick and tired 493 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: and they're trying to get rid of it, but they're 494 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: being told that they won't pay them. The government will 495 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: not pay you if you don't wear a mask. We're 496 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: talking to Senator Ran Paul of Kentucky as he points 497 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: out Louisville, fantastic city, but man, they are run by 498 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: idiots having to wear masks. The kids still in school there. 499 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: Sat Buck and I started off the show talking about 500 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: this long range historical verdict on Fauci. We talk about 501 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: the short term, the testimony holding him accountable, the origins 502 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: of COVID, all of that investigation that still has to 503 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: take place. But a decade from now, when some of 504 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: the passions of the moment, Trump, Biden, Fauci are much 505 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: less likely to still be on the political stage. What 506 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: is the verdict of doctor Fauci and his response to 507 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: COVID as we move beyond the passions of the present 508 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: and history starts to render a verdict, what in your 509 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: mind would that look like? Well, because of his obsessiveness 510 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: with the idea that he is science and that criticism 511 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: of him is a criticism of science, I think he's 512 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: put his back, you know, several decades, and he's also 513 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: harmed objective criticism. The biggest problem is this, This pandemic, 514 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, was enormously disruptive, and I have friends who died, 515 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: So people did die from this, but it had a 516 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: death rate of about one percent, maybe a little bit less. Overall, 517 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: what we're going to find is that if we do 518 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: not analyze where this came from, a virus could escape 519 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: a lab because they're experimenting on viruses that have fifty 520 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: percent mortality. There's evidence that the Chinese lab, We've found 521 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: evidence in samples that they may have been doing experiments 522 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: with Nipa nipah. It's a virus that has sixty percent mortality, 523 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: and if you're monkying around with that and trying to 524 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: make it arisolized or trying to make it more transmissible, 525 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: it's a death death wish for civilization. So I think, 526 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: I hope this is not true. But his legacy maybe 527 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: that he looked the other way, did not fully investigate 528 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: this pandemic research of creating these viruses out of nothing, 529 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: And God forbid that we get another one of the 530 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: visa's even worse out of the lab in the next 531 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: decade or so. God forbid we get like what happened 532 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: in the fourteenth century. Where a third of Europe died. 533 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: So no, I think this is incredibly important. The Democrats 534 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: are completely incurious they I finally got a hearing in 535 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: a subcommittee on gain a function research and none of 536 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats came. It's hard for me to imagine why 537 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: they would have no curiosity as to where this virus 538 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: came from. Senator rand Paul. We really appreciate your time, 539 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: sir and your voice on this issue.

Yeah, I listened to an audiobook, but 552 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: I literally had bought it before I even knew that 553 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: we were going to meet him. Obviously, terminal lists super 554 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: popular on Amazon, and it's about a formal former special opts. 555 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: I read, Yeah, I read the first hundred pages and 556 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: buckets phenomenal. I already had the book bought. I was 557 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: going to read it. I wanted something, you know, like 558 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: it's obviously a page turner, a thrill, or something to 559 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 1: take me out of serious reading, which we do a 560 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: lot of for the show. And it's fabulous. I also 561 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: have to tell you all in case you didn't know, 562 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: you probably haven't experienced this. Clay is like a is 563 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: like a parenting wizard. Apparently his his youngest Nash was 564 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: out there too, like the most polite, well behaved, pleasant mom. Man. 565 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: He's a big inst the credit. Yeah, Laura's got she 566 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: she's got skills man, because you're you're a young man. 567 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: That guy could go with us anywhere role anytime fits 568 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: right in. It's It's I was really a carry was too. 569 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: We were very impressed. He's a really pretty fantastic I know, 570 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: people out there and you have multiple kids, especially the 571 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: youngest kid, sometimes ends up getting short shrifts, so to speak, 572 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: because you spend a lot of time with the first 573 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: kid and then the second, so by the time you 574 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: get to the third or fourth kid, if you're out 575 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: there and you have multiple kids. So we took him 576 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: with us on this trip to Salt Lake, and he 577 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: just was walking on air because he just couldn't believe 578 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: that he got mom and dad to himself the whole weekend. 579 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: But he is a fantastic little kid, and we had 580 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: an awesome time hanging out, met a lot of listeners 581 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: and Jack Carr, I gotta tell you that book. We'd 582 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: like to share book recommendations. I'm sure a lot of 583 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: our listeners have already read it. And it's a series. 584 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: I think he's on five or six of thish of 585 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: this book now series, but I'm reading the first one 586 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: right now, the terminal List, and it is incredibly engaging. 587 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: There's fun. There's a reason it's among the most successful, 588 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: if not the most successful original Amazon programs ever done, 589 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: which Amazon has spent a lot of money. I mean, 590 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: some folks don't really look at think of Amazon Prime. 591 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: I actually think Amazon Prime is in a lot of 592 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: ways superior in the totality to Netflix. Netflix has had 593 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: some great hits, but Amazon Prime I find to be 594 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: a little more consistent. Now there's a lot of woke 595 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: stuff and everything. Put put that aside, there's woke stuff 596 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: in both which which, uh, that's a side note. We also, 597 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: did you get you didn't watch the Game of Thrones 598 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: prequel last night? Right while I was in the air 599 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: flying back from Salt Lake. So I'm planning this evening 600 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: when my wife gets home, we're planning on watching. I 601 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: heard HBO Max shut down. You and I both loved 602 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: the original. I think the Game of Thrones prequel maybe 603 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: I've watched a couple of trailers looks pretty good to me. 604 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: The Lord of the Rings though, because you know we 605 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: we we were talking to Jack Jack Carr just about 606 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: the series and everything else. I mean, this is out there. 607 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: Hollywood reporter says that The Lord of the Rings cost 608 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: well over five hundred million dollars the prequel Lord So 609 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: so the new Lord of the Rings series on streaming 610 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: on Amazon is going to cost over over half a 611 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: billion dollars, and probably when they do all the marketing 612 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: and everything else. My friends, it's going to be close 613 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: to a billion dollars they are spending on a prequel 614 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: show to the Lord of the Rings. They've better hope 615 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: people really like it. Bezos at Amazon is supposedly a 616 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: monster fan of Lord of the Rings, so he just 617 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: basically this is what I've I've been told him when 618 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: you've read interesting. He just refused to not get the 619 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: rights to this. This is one of those things where 620 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: you know you're a billionaire, what's the point of money 621 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: if you don't spend it every now and then he 622 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: just went to the war on this and said, I'm 623 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: not going to allow anyone else to get the rights 624 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: of this because he's such a huge Lord of the 625 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: Rings fan. I look, I hope they're both. We could 626 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: use two good new series to kick back and you know, 627 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: do some binge watching. So because I'm almost done with 628 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: my Peaky Blinders, man, I got two episodes left and 629 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: then it's all over, and I don't know what I'm 630 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: gonna do, you know, for TV watching, at least don't 631 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: want I'm gonna do. I got a lot of books 632 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: to read, though, including The Terminal List by her friend 633 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: Jack Cars. You should all go check that out if 634 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: you haven't already. Am The Amazon show was actually really good.
