1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The second hour of Clay and Buckets

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: going right now. We'll have more for you on the

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: elections and everything going on across the country later on

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: in the program, I wanted to take a few minutes

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: to talk about what could end up being one of

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: the biggest bankruptcies we've seen in many years, perhaps the

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: biggest in history. I think it depends on how far

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: stretching the liabilities are. A lot of allegations of fraud,

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: and it ties together a whole bunch of things. Crypto cryptocurrency,

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: a massive Democrat donor forty million dollars given to Democrats.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: We are always outgunned financially somehow in these elections, folks,

13
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: which does make a difference forty million dollars I think

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: second only too Soros and Soros backed groups in terms

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: of individual donor election giving. And then it also deals

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: with something that I'll be explaining a bit more, and

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: it's a kind of effective altruism. They call it effective altruism,

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: which is where you get the combination of left wing

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: do gooderism with data, and it's on things like climate

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: change and all the things and it ties into ESG score,

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: and this company FTX actually had a pretty high ESG score,

22
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: no surprise. This is fascinating, Clay, And for anybody who

23
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: wants in this, I find this genre to be really

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: interesting because it's another time where somebody who was very

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: who became very connected, connected politically, connected to Democrats, managed

26
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: to pull the wool over the eyes of people who

27
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: are supposed to be brilliant and see through this. Elon

28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: apparently saw through him. Will get into that maybe, but

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: this guy managed, this guy, Sam Bankman Freed, managed to create,

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: starting at twenty nineteen, it wasn't around very long, a

31
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency effectively online trading desk right clearinghouse for cryptocurrencies called FTX.

32
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: FTX has estimated liabilities of up to fifty billion dollars.

33
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: That's according to CNBC. Enron, remember all, I remember that

34
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: one Enron had liabilities of twenty three billion dollars. So

35
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: if you thought Enron was a big deal, this is

36
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: up to fifty billion. Now, Enron, you could say you

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: have to adjust for inflation. But here's basically how this went, Clay.

38
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: This guy comes up with this idea that they're going

39
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: to create this exchange for Cryptocurrencies online FTX, and they

40
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: managed to get I think weren't the Tom Brady and

41
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Giselle were big investors. They brought in tons of famous

42
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: celebrity buck to be pitching it. I mean in Miami

43
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: they had to already take I believe they had renamed

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: the Heat Arena arena, and they stripped it right off

45
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the top of the arena because they've now gone bankrupt.

46
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Which is somewhat similar if people remember the Houston Astros

47
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: used to play at Enron Field, and then they had

48
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: to take Enron's name off everything down in that area.

49
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: So these big companies that are so powerful and seem

50
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: to be built on such firm structure that they're spending

51
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: millions of dollars on random branding acts, suddenly they're getting

52
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: it stripped off Enron. Every bit of Enron had to

53
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: come out of I believe what is now Minute Made

54
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Park the Houston Astros stadium, And similarly FTX had committed

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars. I mean, if you watch

56
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they had a ton of crypto advertisements

57
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl and all of it appears to

58
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: have been a house of cards. What's amazing is that again,

59
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: think of the folks. This is pretty one of the

60
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: reasons that people aren't making a bigger deal of this

61
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: story outside of the financial realm. The second biggest Democrat

62
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: donor in the entire country is certainly a fraud in

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: the sense that he was telling people things about the

64
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: company that we're not true. It is bankrupt. I mean,

65
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: that is all established. He may go to prison. I

66
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: mean Kenneth Lake went to prison. I think that's the question.

67
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Will he get charged with crimes now? Now there are

68
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: allegations that what this guy did, Sam Bankman freed Democrat

69
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: superdonor in this election. By the way, just keep remembering

70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: that tens of millions of dollars given to Democrat candidates.

71
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: What he did was he brought in investor money in

72
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: the crypto market, and the same thing. You know, a

73
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: bank takes your money and has to hold some amount

74
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: of money in reserve, but it can lend out money.

75
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: He took in money. Now, crypto is not very regulated

76
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the way that other, you know, traditional financial institutions are.

77
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: He based out of the Bahamas, which should have been

78
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: to some people maybe a little bit of a way.

79
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: This guy's been in business for two years, basing out

80
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: of the Bahamas soon. Why is he There's already stories

81
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: that he may be going to Dubai Dubai to evade

82
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: eviction for extradition treaties. Yeah, that he may be going

83
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: to Dubai to basically because it looks like this is

84
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: going to turn into a huge criminal criminal charges, massive problems.

85
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: Billions of dollars of wealth, has evaporated, billions of dollars,

86
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: we know that already. And it seems that he was

87
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: taking people's money and then buying things with their money,

88
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: and those things then didn't work out, so then he

89
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: was bringing in This is the allegation that he's bringing

90
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: in more money from investors saying hey, we'll we'll hold

91
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: this crypto for you to kind of like a bank.

92
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: But actually he went out and bought this that, you

93
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: know this, that and the other different companies, different crypto holdings.

94
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is a massive story with tens

95
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars that stake. Billions have already been lost,

96
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: and it goes to the heart of the Democrat Party.

97
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: A party goes to this concept of effective altruism, which

98
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: became very trendy, which is basically, you know, oh, our

99
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: company is a do good company, not just makes money

100
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: for your company. He effectively was laundering his reputation with this.

101
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: Paid off the Democrats. That's always a good insurance policy,

102
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: just in case. And there was no there there, Clay.

103
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing is collapsed overnight. It's unbelievable

104
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: forty million dollars in donations to Democrat politicians. I just

105
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: think that needs to be hammered home again and again

106
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: and again, and I think what's ultimately going to come

107
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: out here? And this is simplifying it basically, you know

108
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of story in a sentence style is he was

109
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: betting other people's money. He had collateral to your point,

110
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: like a bank, and then the price of crypto has cratered.

111
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: It was sixty eight thousand dollars or whatever it was,

112
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: and now it's down I think to fifteen or sixteen

113
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. And effectively there was a run on his bank.

114
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: Everybody suddenly got afraid that he didn't have the ability

115
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: to pay them back, and the whole thing just imploded overnight.

116
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: And I saw he initially flew to Argentina. Is that accurate?

117
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: He definitely has fled the Bahamas. He's not in the

118
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Bahamas anymore, is my understanding. And they're not really sure

119
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: what's gonna end up happening. But I don't to go

120
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: from to lose potentially fifty billion dollars overnight. It's hard

121
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: to believe that there isn't in some way a fraud involved.

122
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: He denies, if he denies the flight to Argentina. Now,

123
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: just to be okay, this story is being updated all

124
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the time because so where is he now? Is he

125
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: still in the Bahamas? Where do we know where he is?

126
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: He says he is still in the bus. See. This

127
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: is the thing about somebody based in the Bahamas, is

128
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: that you know the rules, the laws. It's all much

129
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: more lax there. Obviously, if this guy was walking around

130
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: downtown New York, people would be like, oh, he's here.

131
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: It's a little a little different over there. I mean,

132
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: Clay tens of billions of dollars effectively almost evaporating here. Right,

133
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: losses are going to be cats because the things already

134
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: declared bankruptcy. It's all over, folks. Yes, And what you're

135
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna find out is that just like there are two

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: case studies that I think and if anyone wants a

137
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: really good read Bad Blood by John Carrrew, which is

138
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: about the Thronos to Boxle. Such an amazing book. Eight

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars raised for a company that never had

140
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a product that worked or even really a product of

141
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: its own in anybody some of the most wealthy and

142
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: sophisticated investors in the world. It's not like, I mean,

143
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: it's crazy, how my house and how big of a

144
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: fraud that was? She she brought h She brought Maddis

145
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: General Madison too, her board. She disfigured, stacked the board

146
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: with the most you know, unimpeachably credential and famous and

147
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: connected people very similar with this guy. Did the other

148
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: one is the other story that these are. There's nuances

149
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: and differences here, but billion dollars wail about Joe lo

150
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: who I believe is still Do you know about this guy,

151
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: the Malaysian guy. Oh yeah, Zax wasn't involved with and

152
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: everybody else yeah, Goldben Sachs was involved with him. He

153
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: actually funded through Red Granite Pictures, the Wolf of Wall Street,

154
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: which is amazing because this guy basically just fleeced some

155
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: sovereign wealth funds and took it to throw. He was

156
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: throwing party through the most expensive party I think ever

157
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas with investor money. He flew Leonardo DiCaprio

158
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: and a bunch of Victoria's secret models down for his birthday.

159
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: You know, as one does. This is what this guy

160
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: was doing. This Sam Bankman freed guy is thirty years old.

161
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: But you know, he went to MIT, He talked a

162
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: good game, He made connections with the right people, and

163
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 1: no one ever thought to look under the hood. I

164
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: mean Sekoya Capital, which is one of the most storied

165
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: and you know, supposedly savvy. It's been incredibly successful in

166
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: the past. They gave this guy two hundred million dollars.

167
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: What are they giving him two hundred million dollars for

168
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: a crypto exchange online? I mean, there's a lot like

169
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: the whole they'd never made sense. I think that there's

170
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: a couple of things at play here. One is, crypto

171
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: is actually pretty complicated, and people don't want to feel dumb,

172
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: so a lot of people just follow whatever the herd

173
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: is saying when it came to crypto. And I think

174
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: that's even for actual intelligent people to say nothing of

175
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: people who are just you know, limmings. And going to

176
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: end up following whatever the hottest investment is, whether it's

177
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: these NFTs. Remember when the non fungible token stuff was

178
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: like everybody was like, oh you got to buy this

179
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: board ape stuff. People like people wanted me. They're like,

180
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: I want you to get involved with my NFT and

181
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: I no, thank you across no thank you. I mean, look,

182
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: this is a general rule for investing that people like

183
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Warren Bufett will tell you. I mean, I'm not a

184
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: good investor and I have very little money, But if

185
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: you can't explain it and don't understand it, don't invest

186
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, because there's any way that you can

187
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: really understand what the risk parameters and the upside are.

188
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what happened with crypto. And then

189
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: the other aspect of this is I'm sure this guy

190
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: is very smart, and he's able to make you think

191
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: that he's so much smarter than you are that what

192
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: he's saying has to be true, when the reality is,

193
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this whole thing is just a web of

194
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: wise and the deception goes deep and basically we just

195
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: got an old fashioned run on the bank that they

196
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: weren't prepared to be able to handle. And people are

197
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: also going to start thinking about a famous guy from

198
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: back in the nineteen twenties, Charles Ponzi. Charles Ponzi had

199
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: this whole idea. He would promise investors a fifty percent

200
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: return after an investment in international mail coupons, and guess what,

201
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: he kept breaking The new investors paid off some of

202
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: the other investors. But eventually the web expands, it expands,

203
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: and the whole thing collapses. It's basically what Bernie made off.

204
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: And I mean he was a Ponzi scheme, it just

205
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: as an investor instead of this well, actually no, Ponzi

206
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: was an investment scheme too. But the thing about the

207
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: crypto scheme here with this guy Bankman Freed, is he

208
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: was buying up other crypto ascid other cryptocurrencies would get

209
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: in trouble. Keep on anybody at home. It's something you

210
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: could figure out a way to set up a cryptocurrency, right,

211
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, people can make up cryptocurrency. It's not really

212
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: all that complicated. And that he would buy out these

213
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: other cryptocurrencies. And what the allegation is right now is

214
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: that he was doing this with investor money that was

215
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: supposed to be held in trust in the cryptos that

216
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: they thought they were buying. So that's a here. I mean,

217
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: that's why the risk, the counterparty risk, and the contagion

218
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: here again in the tens of billions of dollars. And

219
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: for those of you're like, oh, I don't care about

220
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: this stuff whatever, just remember this is this guy. I've

221
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people are talking about Ukraine. I

222
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything that's solid on that with Ukraine and

223
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: FTX and all this. If I see more, I'll come

224
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: back to it. But Clay forty million dollars, and the

225
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: whole thing is, yeah, we're going to address like climate.

226
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, he donated to all the right left wing

227
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: causes and all the right left wing politicians. I have

228
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: a feeling that kept the regulators off his back quite

229
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: a bit. Not only that, buck, how about the fact

230
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: that it blows up couple of days after the election,

231
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: much like Joe Biden's student loan bribe did as well.

232
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing how they kept the lid on so much

233
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: of this, and then the election happens and suddenly all

234
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: the dirty laundry comes pouring out after the votes are

235
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: already in. In particular, we need to talk some about

236
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: this student loan shenanigans, which we've been telling people were

237
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: unconstitutional from the moment he tried to do this, and

238
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: the fact that it's now blowing up, it's after the

239
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: mid terms. Now they'll blame Republicans for taking away what

240
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: they'll claim was the right that Joe Biden had given

241
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: them for twenty twenty four. It's it's unbelievably political movement,

242
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: but also deception and lies that are going to be

243
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: a foundational appeal in twenty twenty four. Now, right about now,

244
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,120

271
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Republicans will win the House with a slim majority and

272
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: the Senate is going to go to the Democrats with

273
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: a slim majority eight hundred two A two two eight

274
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: eight two. A lot of people want to weigh in.

275
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dan the deplorable truck driver. He's down

276
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: in Savannah, Georgia. What you got for us? Hey, how

277
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: are you guys doing? Listen Russia. Then Bot taught us

278
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: a long time ago, to all the years that the

279
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: events of the election have not yet taken place. And

280
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: we kept reading all the polls, and we kept getting

281
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: behind that the Republicans we're gonna do so good because

282
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: of this and that, and n Roe v Way dropped

283
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and we did not have a coherent answer for that,

284
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and we got it handed to us. It's just that simple.

285
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Now we say, yeah, but what about the Republican governors

286
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: in Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Florida. They got elected overwhelmingly, Yes,

287
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: but they have exceptions. See now, when you think about

288
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: herschel Walker, he said no exceptions multiple times. Well, they

289
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: see this. But this is a really important distinction you're

290
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: getting into, which is that the it's not that the

291
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: overturning of Row handed the election to Democrats. That's clearly

292
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: not the case because of how some very pro life

293
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: governors did in huge states like Texas and others. It's

294
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: how did specific candidates in specific races message on the

295
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: issue of abortion, and unfortunately, in this cycle a turn

296
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: anyone who said this is why I said, and exceptions

297
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: even for pro pro life politicians, if they don't say

298
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: exceptions for rape incests in life of the mother, they lose.

299
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: And that is what happened. And I knew that was

300
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: going to happen because I understand the moral consistency. I

301
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: understand the argument here. But those politicians who didn't take

302
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: that position, Clay, they got they got hurt by it.

303
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. And that's what we were saying earlier

304
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: about Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania, where I think it's the

305
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: best example because he got absolutely crushed in Pennsylvania. And

306
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: you can say, hey, I agree with him, but I

307
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: think there is a real choice that has to be made,

308
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep taking calls. Do you want to

309
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: be the principled minority that is you always lose, or

310
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: do you want to figure out a way to win?

311
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: And to me, and I think certainly for Buck, we

312
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: want to figure out a way to win. I'll give

313
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: you a sports analogy. Nick Saban was a defensive head

314
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: coach at Alabama his entire career. He noticed that spread

315
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: offenses were taking off, and he said, hey, I have

316
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: to be able to score forty five points a game.

317
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Now to win national championships, you either evolve or die,

318
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: and I think there are a lot of people out

319
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: there that are dying on the hill who are Republican candidates.

320
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if it worked for my beloved Alabama, then

321
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: clearly that was a good move. My friends, there's every

322
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: reason to enjoy a good book. My own love for

323
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: reading startup when I was really young, back in grade school.

324
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: There were no Tuttle Twins series back then, though if

325
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: there was, I would have devoured them all. The Tuttle

326
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Twins books focus on our nation's history as it happened,

327
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: not as it's been rewritten by left wing activist you're

328
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: trying to brainwash your kids. So look, if you've got

329
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: a chance, introduce the Tuttle Twins book series to your

330
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: children or your grandchildren today. I really encourage it. Clay

331
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: has loved it for his kids. They're so good at

332
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: teaching kids about our history in a way that's positive,

333
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: that's patriotic, factually accurate, doesn't bring all this left wing

334
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: agenda to it. The books are thought provoking, they've got pictures,

335
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: make it easy and enjoyable for kids to really understand

336
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: America's history, and they're that good. We get emails all

337
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: the time from parents who try to tell Twins books

338
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: they love them for their kids. Go to Tuttle radio

342
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: E Tuttle radio dot com, Total radio dot com. Great

343
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: time to get the books before the holidays. The reason

344
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: why I think the Santis is so strong is because

345
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: he can do both things. He can do the performance

346
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: art to the base, most of which I don't really

347
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: know if it's that damaging he picks a fight with Disney,

348
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: does it really affect anybody? I mean, I read that

349
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: don't say gay, which is not the name of the law.

350
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: They called it the don't say Gay law. It could

351
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: have been called the let's do things in schools the

352
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: way we did five years ago. Law. It really could.

353
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is he can do both that,

354
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: but he also can be a normal governor. In other words,

355
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: after the storm, he can stand with President Biden like

356
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: a normal governor does, and work with him and then

357
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: send some migrants to Martha's Vision. So I think there's

358
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: some insight there from Bill Maher, who who is a

359
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: lib so I always say this he's just because he

360
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: says it doesn't make it true. He actually can be

361
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: pretty funny sometimes and insightful sometimes. And is I mean,

362
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you talked about climate change, for example, and you're just like,

363
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: how are you so delusional? But on other things he's

364
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: can be a sound enough or rational enough mind. And

365
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: on this one, I think that this is where we

366
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: get back lay to the discussion over over candidate quality

367
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: and what an archetype maybe is going forward if the

368
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: GOP is going to win some of these very very

369
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: tight races that I mean, and no one should look

370
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: at what happened in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan wasn't

371
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: even close, as you pointed out, But no one should

372
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: look at those dates and say, oh, we'll just do

373
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: better next time. No, We're not just gonna do better

374
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: next time, right, I mean, we actually have to have

375
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: a plan. The messaging is a part of it. I

376
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: think the machinery, the vote voting machinery components a big

377
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: part of it. But Clay, what he's getting at here

378
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: is we gotta have candidates you but you gotta be yeah,

379
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think what he's talking about when he

380
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: says the performance ability, Yeah, you know, be maga or

381
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: be be somebody who believes in the mission, throws punches

382
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: metaphorically at the media, stands their ground, but also fixes

383
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: things when they break right, fixes the bridge when the

384
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: bridge is washed away by a big store, make sure

385
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: that the lights are turned on, make sure that the

386
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: state budget is you know, the results and messaging component

387
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: of this certainly funny incumbents is I think absolutely essential.

388
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: And as anybody looking to ascend a higher office in

389
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: the GOP, I think they've got to bring that to

390
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: ver as well. Here's the way I would analyze it.

391
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Who do you think the Democrats want to be the

392
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: nominee in twenty twenty four. The answer is they want

393
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be the nominee. They would desperately, you know,

394
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: prefer that Trump is the Republican nominee in twenty twenty four.

395
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that they're right necessarily in thinking that they

396
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: can be there. To me, that's the reason they want him.

397
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: They're terrified out the calls. By the way, I don't

398
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: want to your translay I'm sorry, I just I would

399
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: love to hear, like, do people do our people? Do

400
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: you disagree with that notion that the Democrats think that?

401
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: This is not saying that Trump would lose. This is

402
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: saying do you think that Democrats believe that Trump is

403
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: their best matchup? To be very specifical, when people say, oh,

404
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Trump will kick their butts, that's not the that's not

405
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: the point you're making. You're saying Democrats believe they can

406
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: be Trump. I'm just wondering if anyone's got calls on that,

407
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah. Look, I don't think that you

408
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: should always make your decision based on what your opponent wants,

409
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: But I do think if you are a rational, reasonable person,

410
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: if Democrats are all sitting around thinking to themselves, hey,

411
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: we would love for Donald Trump to be the nominee,

412
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: then I think Republicans have to contemplate that. Now, Like,

413
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: let's pretend that Buck and I had a magic wand

414
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: and we could wave it and we could select who

415
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: the Democrat nominee would be. Who would we pick? Kamala Harris?

416
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I think probably Buck? Would you agree with that? If

417
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: you could wave a magic wand right now and pick

418
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: any prominent Democrat. You can't just pick some random guy,

419
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: right or I mean I would love I mean for president,

420
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: but I would love someone Clay he was he was

421
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: born for it, but someone who could actually get it.

422
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: I would love it. If Biden stepped down and Democrats said, hey,

423
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is our choice. My point on that is

424
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm saying. It's not because I think

425
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Kamala is a great candidate. It's because I think that

426
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: she would get crushed. Okay, that's what Democrats think about

427
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: Trump right now. Certainly it's what Joe Biden thinks. They're

428
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: terrified of Rhonda Santis. Now. The Trump people would say

429
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: that rhn De Santis has a glass jaw, that he

430
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been tested on the national stage, that what worked

431
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: in Florida will not work in Arizona or Pennsylvania or

432
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: Georgia or any of the places Nevada. That this election

433
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: will be decided in twenty twenty four. That's their argument.

434
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: But I will tell you that Democrats are far more

435
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: troubled and afraid of De Santists than they are of Trump.

436
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I would put it this way, Buck, if

437
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: you'd go draft in the NFL draft. You have a

438
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: ceiling and a floor. Trump is not going to win

439
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: a landslide in twenty twenty four. Okay, you can grab this.

440
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I would love to be wrong. I'd love for Trump

441
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: to win and by nine o'clock eastern the whole elections

442
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: decide and it's not remotely closed. I think it will

443
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: be a lot like this one, and a lot like

444
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: it was in twenty twenty and a lot like it

445
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: was in twenty sixteen, where we're all waiting late at

446
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: night to see how the ballots are going to come in.

447
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I think that's likely. What would happen. DeSantis, I think

448
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: could win a landslide. I think RHN de Santis comparatively

449
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: could This thing could be done by like ten o'clock

450
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: eastern on election night twenty twenty four. Now the Trump

451
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: people would say, well, he's got a glass jaw. Maybe

452
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: he loses big. I don't think that Trump would lose

453
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: big because I think, frankly, there's enough of a base

454
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: now that it's almost impossible to lose big for the

455
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: Republican voters forty five percent of the elector. It's going

456
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: to come out regardless. But do you do you see

457
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: my analysis there that they fear the Santis, they don't

458
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: fear Trump in the same way that we would love

459
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris to be the nominee, Democrats would love

460
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: for Trump to be the nominee. Have they thought that

461
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: in sixteen and they lost. So it doesn't mean Trump

462
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: can't win. It just means I want to take you

463
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: into the mindset of how they are breaking this down

464
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: in their own, their own sort of ideas, if that

465
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: makes sense. And this is gonna be a debate that

466
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: we're going to be having buck for like a year

467
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: and a half now. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be on,

468
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ongoing because we're still going to be

469
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: effectively in the political minority, right, I mean we're going

470
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: to meaning you know, we're not We're not going to

471
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: be able to get legislation pass. We're not going to

472
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: be able to to have agenda items now at the

473
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: state level, though you can, which is why again the

474
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: genius of the Founders comes back to us once more,

475
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: where you have, Okay, we don't have to control the

476
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: federal government, but you're going to see in Texas and Tennessee,

477
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: in Florida, you know, maybe in some other red states

478
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: of note, You'll see decisions being made and policies being

479
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: pursued that will show results that will hopefully be not

480
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: just talking points for the rest of us, but also

481
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: maybe a symbol of what could be done, what could

482
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: be accomplished at the national level starting in twenty twenty four.

483
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: But we have to be I guess one of my

484
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: biggest problems for the four years when Trump was president

485
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: was that there was very little willingness to discuss how

486
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: do we how do we coach the team that we've

487
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: got to make things better? It was always shut off.

488
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Everything is exactly the way it needs to be. Don't

489
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: don't you know that there's criticizing because you love somebody

490
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: and you want them to be better, and there's criticizing

491
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: as you're trying to tear them down. Criticism meant to

492
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: help the Make America Great Again agenda was generally shouted down.

493
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: People didn't want to hear it. They don't want to

494
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: hear it at all. Okay, Well, Joe Biden became president

495
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and now we just had an election

496
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: where we didn't win back the Senate. I think we

497
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: just need to be honest about as a party of

498
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: the GOP. This isn't about any one candidateything else. What's

499
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: really going on here, what is really happening and an

500
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: emotional safe spaces. We got to leave that for the

501
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: other side. We have to be willing to break down

502
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: exactly based on the data, the trip and there's good Look,

503
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be arguments about this. This is more like

504
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: a big family here. There's going to be arguments over

505
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: what's happening and what's right and what's going to be

506
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the best way forward. Thanksgivings next week, right. I think

507
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there are going to be

508
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: sitting around arguing about Trump to Santists. I think there's

509
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of generational discussions here. And this

510
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: is what they were talking about Friday on MSNBC. This

511
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: is Stuart Stevens talking about the Santis versus Trump. They're

512
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: already debating it and earn even on the left side

513
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: of this country. Listen cut eighteen. So here in the

514
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: de Santist camp and you're trying to decide if you're

515
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: going to run for president in a normal political world.

516
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: He beat each other up in the primary, and then

517
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: when the race ends the war ends that won't happen

518
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. If De Santist runs against Donald Trump

519
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: and it manages to win, Donald Trump will spend the

520
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: rest of his life trying to kill Ron De Santis. So,

521
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: if you're round the sis, is this really worth it?

522
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: One or two things would happen If Trump ran, He

523
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: would win or he would lose. If he wins, he's

524
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: only going to serve four years. So I would really

525
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: think long and hard if I was advising a candidate

526
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: about taking on Donald Trump, because I think ultimately he's

527
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna win, and if he doesn't win, he's going

528
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: to stop here from winning. That's the look the nuclear option,

529
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I would say, And I think a lot of people

530
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: are already talking about this. If De Santis beats Trump

531
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: in the primary, let's say it happens. Would Trump basically

532
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: say screw this, I'm running as an independent and hand

533
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election to whichever Democrat were the nominee.

534
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he would. I would hope that he

535
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: would not, But I think that's in the back of

536
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people's minds as they talk about the

537
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: idea of Trump versus De Santis. How does this play out,

538
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: How does it end? Some people say, look, the Santis

539
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: can be governor until twenty twenty six, regardless of who

540
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: wins in twenty twenty four, although it could change if

541
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: Biden's the nominee or not, but likely there's no incumbent

542
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: in twenty eight. Trump wins, He's only got four years,

543
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: and then you run in twenty eight. I just think

544
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: for de Santis, the time is now. I do because

545
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: I think in a couple of years things can change

546
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: the party. The party wins can blow in different directions.

547
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: But simultaneously, I understand why Trump wants to run. And

548
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: that's why I think this is going to be an

549
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred pound guerrilla, knockdown, drag out battle. It will

550
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: be a Donnybrook in reference to the Irish air from

551
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: the twelve that that began in the twelve hundreds, as

552
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: we learned, see how glad are you that you do

553
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: this show with me? You'd probably never use the word

554
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: Donnybrook before. Now you don't have cinemology and everything. I'd

555
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: never even heard the word real. Yeah, I've never even

556
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: heard it before. So I mean, I love learning. I

557
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: have an app on my phone that just cycles through

558
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: new words that I could learn every day, Like, I

559
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: get excited about this. This is why social life. God,

560
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting married. My social life is very limited. I

561
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: can I confess something. I'd get a quick story, real

562
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: quick before we actually you know what, I'll tell you.

563
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a quick story. I thought. I thought

564
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: I had a moment of scooter unity and it didn't

565
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: work out as I thought. Clay, I'm gonna tell you

566
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: about it when we come back. That's a hell of

567
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: a tease. The holiday season Tunnel the Towers Foundation delivers

Speaker 1: in the final hour as well. One eight hundred two

588
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: eight two two eight A two variety of topics people

589
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: are weighing in on as we react to the close

590
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: of the election, even though it's still going on, and

591
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: we should say a lot of different media sources are

592
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: starting to tweet out that Republicans have officially won the House. Now,

593
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: there still are seats that are outstanding. I think we're

594
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: still two or three away officially from winning, but there

595
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: are that the numbers are out there where you get

596
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: to two twenty three, two twenty four potentially you obviously

597
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: need two eighteen for the majority. It's going to be

598
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: it looks like in the two twenties, the low two

599
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: twenties before all is said and done. But we should

600
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: say that you're starting to see, Buck, a lot of

601
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: different places out there officially come around and say, Okay,

602
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: the Republicans have won the House. So while we're disappointed

603
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: about how the Senate went, in particular that race in Pennsylvania,

604
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: which is the only flipped Senate seat so far, and

605
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: we should mention virtually every statewide incumbent one except for Lombardo,

606
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: managed to win in Nevada. Otherwise, almost no one who

607
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: is in office already running for reelection lost Democrat or Republicans.

608
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: So that's the latest there, Buck. You had had a

609
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: scooter story. You had a yeah, I just you know,

610
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: I like to look for the little things, you know,

611
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: every day, it's about getting it right, Clay. It's about

612
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: how your spouse or my case, your fiance greets you

613
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: at the door. It's about the sunshine on your face.

614
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: It's about when you're in your elevator and you're you're

615
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: standing there with your scooter. It's all charged up. It's

616
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: a lovely day outside and you're about to go out

617
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: on your scooter. And who gets on the elevator but

618
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: somebody else with a scooter. And now it's like, well,

619
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: I've got my scooter squad now in the elevator, you know,

620
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: guys probably about my age. And he looks at me.

621
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: He actually has he had like a German accent. I

622
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know why you have a lot of internationals in

623
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: my building. And he goes, he goes, yeah, he goes,

624
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: what kind does that one? And I was like, oh,

625
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: it's like a call to whatever. And he goes, he goes,

626
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: I tell you this is true. He goes how fast

627
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: does it go? And I was like, mine goes about

628
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: fifteen miles an hour? And he looks at me and

629
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: he goes, what's the point of that? Mine goes thirty.

630
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just got scooter shamed by another scooter rider,

631
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: like well, you know it's it's like he pulled up

632
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: in a ferrari and is like, excuse me in your

633
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, in your lemon from what was your response

634
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: to that? When he said what's the point to go?

635
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: In fifteen? I was just I just was so her.

636
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even really say anything. It was really you know,

637
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: I thought this was like this was like a very

638
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'd look, I know, it's not

639
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: two guys pulling up in their Harley's looking at each

640
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: other like it's gonna you know, but I thought there

641
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: was gonna be some ea scooter unity here, not not

642
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: to be had. Sorry, it's like, what's the point of that.

643
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: I'm like fifteen miles an hours pretty fast. I mean,

644
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: the only thing that's in the next step here, you're

645
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: gonna see like, you know, your fiance hanging on his

646
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: back as he goes zoop and by its rough, you know,

647
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: he's probably he probably wears a scarf and drinks little

648
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: espressos on his scooter, like as his scooter is like

649
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: that next level, you know. So anyways, like I said,

650
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys who get made fun

651
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: of for having sports cars and uh and I saw,

652
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, you're trying to cover up for

653
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: yourself or whatever in the more aggressive the sports car,

654
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, Lamborghini, Ferrari, sports whatever it is. They're obviously

655
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: super expensive. And I saw one guy getting interviewed as

656
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: this is recently, and they were like, well, you know,

657
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that you're, you know, trying

658
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: to pick up girls. You know, you're trying to cover

659
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: up for yourself by having these high end sports cars,

660
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Like why do you have it? And he's like, because

661
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: it works. Like women are still impressed evidently by the

662
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: fast sports car, so so maybe the women are also

663
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: impressed by the fast scooter. You should have asked him

664
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: why he felt the need to go thirty. Maybe I

665
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: could get like some tiny nitrous tanks and attached them

666
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: to my east scooter, although I guess that would only

667
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: work with a combustion engine. But I know you would

668
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: die if you got an accident on a thirty mile

669
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: an hour scooter, right, I mean that would be like

670
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: debilitating injuries. Oh yeah, no, I mean the Actually I

671
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: remember reading about this, the actual data on on accidents

672
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: in jen Rule, but accidents specifically that because speed is

673
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: the biggest, single determinant of the outcomes with these things. Obviously,

674
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: if you're a pedestrian, which is basically the case if

675
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: you're you know you're going to be without any protection

676
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: around you. But deestrun who gets hit going under twenty

677
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: five miles an hour usually survives. A pedestrian who's hit

678
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: five cart going over thirty five miles an hour. The

679
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: numbers are the odds are not good, so makes a

680
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: big difference. More good news from the courts as it

681
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: pertains to Joe Biden's proposed student loan bailout. This is

682
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: just breaking from the Eighth Circuit. Well, I'll go ahead

683
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: and tell you they have stopped Biden's student loan bailout

684
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: problem in the Eighth Circuit as well, joining that district

685
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: court judge down in Texas. This is going to go

686
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court, where I suspect it will be

687
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: struck down, just like we told you the day he

688
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: signed it would likely happen. Buck. It turns out, much

689
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: to the chagrin of the Democrat commies, the Constitution is

690
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: still a thing, still a thing, Thank a Lord,
