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 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Tuesday edition, 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Eight point three percent inflation 4 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: the Biden administration in one hour less than one hour, 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Bucket three Eastern is having a White House ceremony to 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: celebrate the falsely named Inflation Reduction Acts. We weren't invited 7 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: to the party, which is I have not been invited 8 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: to anybody. There's my invitation, Clay. The Inflation Reduction Act, 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: which virtually every economist says will either have no impact 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: or increase inflation going forward because the government's spending nearly 11 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: eight hundred billion additional dollars. There the amount of lies 12 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: that are coming out of Joe Biden and the White House. 13 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: I missed this tweet because I don't follow Joe Biden 14 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: on Twitter because I try to limit my intake of 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: daily White House lies. But Biden said today, this is 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: two hours ago. Today we celebrate the passage of the 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, which will create jobs, make our code fairer, 18 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: and lower costs for American families. He then tweeted, in 19 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: the last hour, let's be clear and by he I mean, certainly, 20 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: Biden probably doesn't even know how to use Twitter. I 21 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: certainly don't think he can type anything coherent on it. 22 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: But his staff tweeted, let's be clear, Democrats sided with 23 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: the American people with the Inflation Reduction Act, and every 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: single Republican in Congress sided with special interests. That's the 25 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: choice we face. No, no, no, The choice is can 26 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: we make life better for almost all Americans out there? 27 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Inflation index up eight point three percent? Buck, some of 28 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: these numbers are crazy. Eggs up almost forty percent. Right, 29 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: We've got airline fares up thirty three percent in the 30 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: last year, electricity up fifteen point eight percent, fuel oil 31 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: up nearly seventy percent, gas up nearly twenty five point 32 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: six percent, milk up seventeen percent, groceries thirteen and a 33 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: half percent, electricity nearly sixteen percent. If you're hearing all 34 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: that and you're thinking, yeah, that's why even though I 35 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: have a job, I feel like I have less money 36 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: in my pocket than I did before Joe Biden was president. 37 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: You're not making that up. That is all one percent true. 38 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: He's been a disaster for every single working American. We 39 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: all are making less money in our paychecks because of 40 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And yet they want to tell you that 41 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: things are going just great. It's amazing, isn't it. Instead 42 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: of dealing with the numerical reality of what's happening here, 43 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: they would rather push fairy tales because they know their 44 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: power is at risk if people draw the obvious conclusion 45 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden, as I've said, he it's not only 46 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: things are bad if they got their way, If the 47 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: Democrats get their way, these things get worse before they 48 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: get better, as long as they're calling the shots. Rick 49 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Santelli over at CNBC, the man who called for the 50 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: tea party, he's out there saying, guys, just reminder they 51 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: want to spend even more money on the Democrat side. 52 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: The thing that really bothers me with regard to inflation 53 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: is everybody here on this panel agreed months ago that 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: one of the reasons inflation was high was all the 55 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: government spending. And after we agreed on that, what did 56 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the government do. They spent more student loans, welfare. In 57 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: terms of the Chips Act, seems like nothing is sinking in. 58 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: These numbers aren't better than expected, and maybe they should 59 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: be it Maybe ultimately they're going to start to go 60 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: back up again because we continue to go back to 61 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: that well of debt and spending. This is just the 62 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: obvious conclusion that everybody should draw. The people in charge 63 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: folks are making decisions that the pain you are feeling 64 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: economically is directly tied to. And what's even crazier, they 65 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: want to make it even worse because, as far as 66 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: they're concerned, the whole point of being in power is 67 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: to take money from some people and give it to others. 68 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: The redistribution of wealth, government spending, taxpayer on the bill, 69 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: on the ledger, for whatever social policies they want to pursue. 70 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: It's madness. So that's where we are with the economy. 71 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to pause here for a minute and play 72 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: this too. We've been talking buck about how CNN has 73 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: been rapidly trying to pivot back towards the middle. They 74 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: fired our great friend Brian Stelter, who now has got 75 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: a job at Harvard to talk about threats to democracy. 76 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: That's not hyperbole or satire, that's real. Harvard University is 77 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: now going to pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars 78 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: to lecture students about how Republicans are a threat to democracy, 79 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: and the media at CNN and many other places jumped 80 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: all over. We got a monster audience listening to us 81 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: in Utah. Thanks to everybody out there listening in Salt 82 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Lake and beyond and in Provo, Utah. There was an allegation. 83 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: We covered it on this show, one of the few 84 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: places that would actually cover the truth, that a BYU 85 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: volleyball player had had a racial slur hurled at her 86 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: during a match. She was sorry a Duke volleyball player 87 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: playing against BYU. The media immediately condemned not only BYU, 88 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: all of their students, all of their alums, everyone. Frankly, 89 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: they were trying to tie together in the Mormon faith. 90 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: All of it came under siege because of this allegation. 91 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: It now appears that was Jessie Smalleett on a volleyball court, 92 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: and CNN actually buck had a contributor go on the 93 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: air and call out all the media that got it 94 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: wrong and point out, hey, there's a rush to judgment here. 95 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: There's nothing to support that this actually happened. Listen. Healthy 96 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: skepticism is always a virtue, but this doesn't read like 97 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: a cover up. Instead, it feels like there was a 98 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: rush to judgment because of a well intentioned impulse to 99 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: believe the Duke players accusations. Now, we need to note 100 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: that the investigation does not call Rachel richards An a 101 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: liar or a fabricator. It leaves open the possibility that 102 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: she sincerely believed that she heard repeated Rachel heckling, that 103 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: some sort of misunderstanding occurred. But when investigations turn up 104 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: a very different fact pattern, it's incumbent upon everyone to 105 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: acknowledge it and adjust. Fidelity to the facts is all 106 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: that we, as journalists and citizens should ask. It's understandable 107 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: that there's a desire to believe people when they say 108 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: they've been victimized, but the accusations have to be backed 109 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: up by facts, and when the facts don't fit upon 110 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: further review, we need to set the record straight with 111 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: as much intensity as the inditial reports. We've seen quite 112 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: a change here, mister Travis. Can you believe that they 113 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: called me a right wing extremist for basically saying everything 114 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: that CNN just finally got around too. I also think 115 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: it's it's funny to watch CNN try to start to 116 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: be a news organization again because their jobs are all 117 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: on the line. So so this guy John Avon there 118 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: is saying and what he's saying about, well, yes it 119 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: is possible, but there are facts. What you see is 120 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the people at CNN are capable of living in reality, 121 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: they're capable of analyzing things, but for a long time 122 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: they have been catering because of ideology, to people who 123 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: just want to hear stuff. And it's your point about 124 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden in the laptop. That is clearly the fact 125 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: that forty percent of people still believe it is misinformation. 126 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: That is clearly a function of the steady diet of 127 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 1: lies they have been fed by the Democrat line corporate 128 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: media such that it doesn't even the correction never penetrits. 129 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: This is the classic thing you see on So, by 130 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: the way, did I jump ahead of did you not? 131 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: I think you and I talked about that. Sorry, I thought, yeah, 132 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: this is for everybody out there, but just hit it. 133 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: There's a study out what percentage of people still believe 134 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation? Forty one 135 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: percent of the American public, including half of Democrats and 136 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: roughly half of independent voters. And even I believe twenty 137 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: seven percent of Republicans still believe the big tech lie, 138 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: the collusion with the Democrat Party, that the Hunter Biden 139 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: laptop was Russian disinformation and not real. That's a staggering percentage. 140 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: Forty one percent of the American public doesn't know. And 141 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: given the big all the fact checking that the big 142 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: tech companies go on, wouldn't this be a direct threat 143 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: to democracy that huge percentages of the American population still 144 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: aren't aware of the true of the Hunter Biden laptop. 145 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: You would think so. And yet I mean, how many 146 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: people play if you looked at it back and I 147 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: think it was even twenty eighteen believed that Russia. This 148 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: was another one of these moments Russia changed vote totals 149 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: in voting machines. It was a very high number. If 150 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: you go back among and look at the polling twenty 151 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: sixteen through twenty eighteen was the last time I saw polls. 152 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: They still believed it deep into the Trump presidency because 153 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: a lot of the time, which whatever has to recognize, 154 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: is people believe what they want to believe, right, and 155 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: when they've been told something that is as affirming for 156 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: their whole view as of Donald Trump as evil and 157 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: he's horrible and ah see, the Russians even changed vote totals. 158 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: There was never a lea basis in evidence for this. 159 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that even in the going back 160 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: to the BYU volleyball allegation, Uh you notice the media 161 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: and years did this. Somebody said something without evidence and 162 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: then they keep going the BYU player here made an 163 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: allegation that is to this day without evidence. So the 164 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Duke player, yeah, I'm sorry, the Duke player I did. Yeah, 165 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: the same the Duke player against BYU made the same, 166 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: made an allegation without evidence in twenty eighteen. Speaking of which, 167 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: under remember on the Kavanaugh situation, the line was women 168 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: are to be believed, to believe all women. We actually 169 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: had a moment here where in order to achieve a 170 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: desired political outcome in that case for a Supreme Court seat, 171 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: it turned into evidence free allegation must be believed, true 172 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: Soviet style resolution of the situation. That was what they wanted. 173 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: And buck think about this Duke volleyball player. Either she 174 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: best case scenario for her, she mistakenly believed she was 175 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: being called a racial slur during a volleyball match. Why 176 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: would she believe that? Because she has bought into the 177 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: idea that America is a fundamentally racist place, and so 178 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: she just expects that a white crowd is going to 179 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: be screaming racial slurs at her during a match, and 180 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: nobody's going to do anything. That's the best case scenario 181 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: for her worst case scenario here, she is a direct 182 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: liar who made up this entire story. There's zero evidence 183 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: for him. Duke, if they were an institution that cared 184 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: about truth, would actually conduct an investigation here, because if 185 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: they determine that she made up this lie, she should 186 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: be kicked out of Duke and not allowed to attend 187 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: the school anymore because it would be a violation of 188 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: the student code. They will not do that, though, Buck, 189 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: because she is a black woman, they will not treat 190 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: her to the same standard that they would hold a 191 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: white guy. And we know this because, based on allegations Buck, 192 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: they shut down the entire lacrosse program and then evidently 193 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: had to pay tens of millions dollars in damages. But 194 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: you would think of all institutions out there, Duke, would 195 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: we be the most skeptical of initial stories and say, wait, wait, wait, 196 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: this is an allegation, let's actually investigate. But when a 197 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: black woman says it. It has to be true because 198 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: she's a victim, and black women would never lie. No Clay, 199 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: because remember, you're being You're doing the whole law school brain, 200 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: rational evidentiary approach. No no, no, sir, Duke University, even 201 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: in being massively wrong with the Duke Lacrosse case, serve 202 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: the critical purpose of raising awareness about the existence of 203 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: racism in our society. Isn't that amazing? It doesn't matter 204 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: how wrong they are. Yes, it doesn't matter whose lives 205 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: they destroy in the process. They're always the heroes in 206 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: this narrative because of stomach and institutional racism. It's funny 207 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: how that works out for them. It is ridiculous, But 208 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: you're right, that's the pivot that they'll always make. But 209 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I do give credit where credit is due to CNN 210 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: for actually pointing out the truth here. Maybe CNN, according 211 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: to USA Today, also filled with right wing extremists. Yeah, 212 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: very much so. We'll see.

You know we try to do a 234 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: little bit of accountability on this show for a whole 235 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: range of issues, because one of them is certainly the 236 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: insane lockdowns. I mean, just just for remember, folks, it 237 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: wasn't It was just a matter of months ago when 238 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: Shanghai had a twenty million person lockdown underway in China 239 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: and they had drones flying outside people's windows saying fight 240 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: your heart's yearning for freedom or something like that. It 241 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: was in translation, obviously, and stay inside, shut up. Sorry, 242 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: too bad. They were. They were doing horrible things to 243 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: people's dogs that they found on the streets that were 244 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: worried about dog spreading COVID. And there were a lot 245 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: of countries, or at least a lot of people in 246 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: those countries in the Western world that we're saying, Wow, 247 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: they're really showing us how it's done. I mean, they're 248 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: completely insane. Australia and New Zealand, countries that we think 249 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: of as having very affable people, nice climates, fun place 250 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: to visit. Because of the Libs who run their health 251 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: service and their governments, they turned into you know, East 252 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: Germany with kangaroos or I guess in the case of 253 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: New Zealand EMUs whatever close enough, and I think that's right. 254 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: I know they have kiwis there. Do they have EMUs too? 255 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: And sure enough, the Prime Minister of New Zealand who 256 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: was the most hardcore I think really you could are 257 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: of any certainly English speaking westernized country. New Zealand was 258 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: just we're gonna lock down forever. And here she is 259 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: basically saying, Okay, crazy people want to keep wearing masks, 260 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: Let's be nice to them. People use masks for their 261 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: own individual reasons. They may personally be vulnerable, they may 262 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: have events. I want to make sure they're not unwell 263 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: for they may not have hit COVID nineteen. We all 264 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: just need to respect everyone's individual decisions. I am not 265 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: going to respect the Prime Minister of New Zealand's decisions 266 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: at all. She was a vile, cowardly, stupid tyrant. And 267 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say or the New Zealanders. 268 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: If you went along with this, you got played well. 269 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: Not only that, this goes to my point that they're 270 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: just going to pretend none of this ever happened. Yep. 271 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna go with the Shaggy that wasn't 272 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: Me defense for basically everything that they did with COVID 273 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: And for those of you who don't remember the immortal 274 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: Shaggy song that wasn't Me. He was caught cheating just 275 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: said it wasn't leave on the bathroom floor. That's correct. 276 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: Buck very well played, caught right by his girlfriend. There's 277 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: no defense. Just said it wasn't me. Now on COVID, 278 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: every Democrat politician is basically coming out and saying, wasn't me. 279 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: I didn't do it, we didn't Like they're just going 280 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: to hope that all of you, to use another pop 281 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: culture analogy, are willing to buy into that. Will Smith, 282 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: you know in the alien movie that Men in Black, 283 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: you know how they just waved that mind thing and 284 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: it just vanishes and you don't have any recollection of it. 285 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: They shut down the entire continent for years in Australia 286 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: over COVID, and now they're like, yeah, COVID's here. Nothing 287 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: we can really do about it. People can wear a 288 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: mask if they want to. Don't judge him. And it's 289 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: like that never even happened. It's crazy. What if I 290 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: told you you could help save a life today?

Well that happens, an expectant 296 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: mother may think very differently about that innocent life growing 297 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: inside her and may choose life over abortion.

Senator Ron Johnson from the great state of 310 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: Wisconsin joins us. Now, of course all of you need 311 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: to be rushing out to the polls soon to make 312 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: sure that he is in the Senate for six more years. 313 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: But I want to start with the inflation data. Senator 314 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: that came out today eight point three percent inflation, record 315 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: high cost for many different products out there in many 316 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: of our lives. The White House in less than thirty 317 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: minutes is having a celebration on the lawn for how 318 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: they are handling inflation thanks to the inappropriately named Inflation 319 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: Reduction Act. How tone deaf is Joe Biden when it 320 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: comes to inflation and the chunk that it continues to 321 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: take out of everybody's paycheck all over this country. Well, 322 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: he may not be tone deaf, you just can't talk 323 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: about it. They can't talk about the disastrous results of 324 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: all their policies. I mean, he is the root cause 325 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: of all the pain that the Americans are feeling, you know. 326 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,959 Speaker 1: And I don't think we're real good at really processing percentages, 327 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: So I think a better way of looking at inflation. 328 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, it's costing a family six hundred seventy three 329 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: dollars more per month because of Joe Biden's inflation. Nationally 330 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: it's seven hundred and fifteen dollars per month. Now, I know, 331 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: a dollar that you held at started the buying administration 332 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,719 Speaker 1: is now worth only eighty eight point three cents. So 333 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: if you apply that to Let's say a senior on 334 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: a fixed income with the savings you'll save for retirement, 335 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: Let's say they stuck away one hundred thousand bucks. Just 336 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: for ease of calculation, That one hundred thousand dollars that 337 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: they held started the buying administration is now worth only 338 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: eighty eight thousand, three hundred dollars. So inflation is the 339 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: Democrat tax on everybody, but it particularly hurts seniors, people 340 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: at the lower end of the income spectrum. They're people 341 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: that Democrats purport to want to represent and help. They're 342 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: crushing them. That's like a twelve percent tax on your 343 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: savings in just the first what nineteen months of this administration. 344 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: It's a disaster, and that's why they can't talk about it. 345 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: I think they're well aware of it, they just can't 346 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: talk about So, guys, all they have are lies, Georgian character, assassination, 347 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: the politics, personal instruction. And I'm on the receiving end 348 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: of all of that, in addition to sixty five million 349 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: dollars being spent to try and take me out politically. 350 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: So I'll need a lot of help. Ron Johnson, presenter 351 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: dot com. If you want to save this US Senate seat, 352 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson's buck. You know, there's a apparently a party 353 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: of sorts, a celebration coming up here in just a 354 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: few moments, a few minutes, where the White House is 355 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: going to be marking the what is its seven hundred 356 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: and fifty billion dollars spending and tax package that they 357 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: passed under the Inflation Duction Acts? Misnomer? Who's the audience 358 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: for this? I mean, I'm kind of curious, like, is 359 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: this Are they just going through the motions? Are they 360 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: so condescending they think voters can't figure out what a 361 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: sham this whole thing is. Feels particularly brazen on the 362 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: day that the CPI inflation number comes out to be 363 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: spiking the football in the end zone when they're really 364 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: in the wrong end zone. I think that would be clay. 365 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: That's a safety, isn't it. That's very well played. Thank 366 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: you well. I would say the lapdog media that are complicit, 367 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: they are leftist themselves. They're just playing the media here 368 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: who they can pretty well rest assured they'll carry their water. 369 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: I remember when they passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the 370 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: press dutifully reported that's going to reduce inflation, solve global warming. 371 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: Now it's going to spend three hundred and sixty nine 372 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: billion dollars on green energy boondoggles like Cylindric. It will 373 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: further spark inflation. That there's interesting about it too that 374 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there. I don't think there was one 375 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: economic organization where this universities with the CBO that said 376 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: this would reduce inflation at all. But again, the lapdog media, 377 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: they just carried the Democrats water, which is part of 378 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: the problem we have here, guys. I mean, if in 379 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: a sane world with an unbiased media, this election wouldn't 380 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: even be close. These elections, we would be sweeping Democrats 381 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 1: for power. But because they have the power of the 382 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: mainstream media, the big tech media, social giants, they're in 383 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: this race if they shouldn't be, but they are. Senator 384 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: building on that. I don't know if you've seen this study, 385 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: but we were talking about it a little bit earlier 386 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: in the show. Forty one percent of the American public 387 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: still believes the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation, including 388 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: fifty percent of Democrats, twenty seven percent of Republicans, and 389 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: forty seven percent of independence. If you want to know 390 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: what gaslighting looks like, I know You've been investigating this 391 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: in and dealing with it for a long time. But 392 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: are you staggered that these lies could have such a 393 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: lasting impact that over four out of every ten people 394 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: in America right now still believe that the Russian disinformation 395 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: lie is true. Well, I wish I could say it 396 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: was shocked, but I'm not. I mean, I understand the 397 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: power of the media. They're very powerful. I mean again, 398 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: they're still pushing the fact that the vaccines are safe 399 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: and effective. Yeah, I wish they were one hundred safe 400 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: and effective, but they're not. They're not particularly effective. Again, 401 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to see their data that it's actually reduced 402 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: to the severity symptoms. They won't share the data with us. 403 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: But no, the media is unbelievably powerful. And that's why 404 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: I say, if we had an unbiased media, these elections 405 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't even be close. The Democrats had driven America into 406 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: the ditch, open borders, the flood of the illegal immigrants, 407 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: the deadly drugs for your high inflation record. Gas prices, 408 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: by the way, increase on purpose. It gets you into 409 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle that can what drive one hundred a 410 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: few hundred and seventy miles or after we charge it 411 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: for thirty thirty minutes. And then of course in California 412 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna outlaw gaspar vehicles. The same day they announced 413 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: at help people camp plug in your electric vehicles. I mean, 414 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: think of the control the electric vehicles give people like 415 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: Gavin Newson or Frozen Byte. People need to be very 416 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: concerned about Democrats are doing this country. This fundamental transformation 417 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: of America is fundamentally destroying it and destroying our freedoms. 418 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Senator Ron Johnson, Senator, the subpoenas that 419 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: have been flying recently for Eric Garland's doo J going 420 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: after Trump associates. A few cell phones have been seized. 421 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: You understand the nature and character of the deep state 422 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: and those machinations. You've had FBI whistleblowers come out recently 423 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: as well. You're quite familiar with that situation. So what 424 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: do you think the end game is that we just 425 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: talked to Julie Kelly about this before, a legal analyst 426 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: and writer. What are what are the DOJ folks under 427 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: this Biden regime planning in your mind? Well, the endgame 428 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: is tyranny if we let them get away with it. 429 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: The end game for the Democrats is one party state control. 430 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: That's what they want. That's what they want to nationalize 431 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: elections so they can mail ballots to everybody, so they 432 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: can ballot harvest and they can make sure that everybody's 433 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: coming to this country illegally that they let in, they'll 434 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: vote for them. Um. So no, that people need to understand. 435 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is when you talk to UH 436 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: legal immigrants from around the world, people have come from 437 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: socialists and communist states. They are frightened by what they're 438 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: seeing in America today. They say, this is this is 439 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: when I came to escape, and this is you know, 440 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: we're beyond the beginning stages of a less free society, 441 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: of a tyranny of it talentaring state, which is what 442 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: we ought to be on guard about, what we ought 443 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: to be protecting against, which is what this election is 444 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: all about. Senator Johnson, you're going to be in an 445 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: election that you've decided, as a said, is going to 446 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: be decided on the razor's edge. What can people do 447 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: to support you? And what are you hearing from people 448 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: as you travel all over Wisconsin? Or Ron Johnson presented 449 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: dot com again. They've already spent sixty five million dollars. 450 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: You know, Democrats eight dark money until being spent to 451 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: prop them up again. Ro I'm hearing you know the 452 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: listra horribles, the open border, the inflation, the record gas prices, 453 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: but even more basic than that. I mean I literally 454 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: had people coming up that events with tears in their eyes, 455 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: is not streaming down their cheeks saying we have to 456 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: save this country. I mean it is insane. I mean, 457 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: people never thought they'd actually have to defend the benefit 458 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: of having a mom and dad of a nuclear family. 459 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: They never thought they'd have to be pushing back on 460 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: school addistrators who want to inject our children with gender 461 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: blocking drugs without telling their parents or they we be 462 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: witnessing buy a lot school mails compete against our girls 463 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: and then expecting to shower with them in their locker room. 464 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: This is insane to us, but it's not insane to 465 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: the left. It's what they're pushing on America and again 466 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, they're just trying to normalize all this 467 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: and paved the way for a tatalitarian state. So Iron 468 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Johnson always appreciate you making the time for us, sir, 469 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in.

Are you are a Game of Thrones watcher, 504 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: Clay from what I have course loved the game. I 505 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: was a big Game of Thrones fan. I was deeply 506 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: disappointed in the final season like so many others, but 507 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: I have been willing to go and try the new 508 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: House and House of the Drag, House of the Dragon. 509 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: It's pretty good, I will say. The Lord of the race. 510 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: We'll get into the House of Dragon a seconds. I 511 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: know you saw that too, The Lord of the Rings prequel. 512 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't understand how you can spend so much money 513 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: on something and have it suck so much. Haven't you watched? 514 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: You watched? I don't even know how many episodes is 515 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: The Rings of Power. I'm a couple of episodes in, 516 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: and I like all that. I've always liked that. I've 517 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: liked tokens since I was in the third grade. I 518 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: love all that dungeons and dragons, nerds stuff. You know, 519 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm into it, And so to me to take such 520 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: a rich and vibrant world of story and just it's 521 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: they're just not anyway. Don't waste the Rings of Powers trash. 522 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: It's it's on Amazon, it's streaming there. Just came out 523 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: in the last ten days, and people are even talking 524 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: about the wokeness or whatever of the casting. I'm not 525 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: even it's just not good. You're gonna have to get 526 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: into It's just not well written. The story is not anyway. 527 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm only a couple of episodes in. I'm not sure 528 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get beyond that, but I will say I 529 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: think they're doing a pretty solid job with House of 530 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: the Dragons so far. That last episode had some pretty 531 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: compelling moments. Yeah, I think it's pretty enjoyable. And the 532 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: thing that I'm supposed to be getting, Oh you're still 533 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: wanting me to be watching Peaky Blinders. I don't even 534 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: pring it up for you, which it makes me too 535 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: sad on the inside. Doesn't doesn't take producer Allian Mike No, 536 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: doesn't even take my one suggestion, how awesome was my 537 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: book suggestion? Clay Endurance was fantastic. See. But the challenge 538 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: here is, now that football season has started, I'm getting 539 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: pressured everywhere I can keep up with this House of 540 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: the Dragon show because it's only one hour and there're 541 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: only been four episodes. The New Karate Kid came out, 542 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: the New Cobra Kai season five, which my kids are 543 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: obsessed with. And for those of you out there who 544 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: enjoyed in any way the Karate Kid in the nineteen eighties, 545 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: your kids, if they're around my kid's age, you know, 546 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: I've got a fourteen and eleven and a seven. Eleven 547 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: and seven are about to be twelve and eight this week. 548 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: So anyway, the boys all love it. They're pressuring me 549 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: because their mom is trying to hold them off on 550 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: watching the whole season because Dad needs to catch up. 551 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: But it's like ten episodes long, and I haven't had time. 552 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm on the road for the college football season, gonna 553 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: be down at Auburn for the Penn State game. It's 554 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: not a bad gig. I love it, but I barely 555 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: have time. I got a sixth grade football game. I 556 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: gotta get too as soon as we finish the shows. 557 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't have time, Buck, I haven't an I can't 558 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: catch up on the Cobra Kai show either. I'm a 559 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: little behind in Cobra Kai. I do like it. I've 560 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: got I would give that two thumbs up. Cobra Kai 561 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: was pretty excellent from what I saw thus far. But 562 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: that's but that's an example of you can take something 563 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: obviously Top Gun Maverick another one. You can take great story, 564 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: great characters and add to it. One of the most 565 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: important things, though, is fealty to the field and vibe 566 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: and story and characters of the original. You know, I 567 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: hate when they take I mean, for example, people said, oh, 568 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: the Ghostbusters, the all female reboot, it was sexism. Why 569 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: people know it sucked? It just was terrible it was 570 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: just objectively awful and the people who wrote that movie 571 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: should probably find other work. And you know that you 572 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: can make these things. You can bring back great stories 573 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: and redo them. I mean, all stories at some level 574 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: build on the great stories of the past, whether it's 575 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: Shakespeare or the Bible. What Shakespeare built a lot based 576 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: on the Bible point being, I think Cobra Kai is 577 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: a fantastic example of that. I was hoping that. I mean, 578 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: prequel should be You've got a roadmap of what's coming. 579 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: Prequel should be great. So far. Game of Thrones prequel 580 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: can recommend, although the birth scenes a little tough, but 581 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: I can recommend that one. The Lord of the Rings 582 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: thing is as bad as people are saying it is. 583 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: So yeah, and your Ghostbusters analogy is a good one. 584 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: It's like the Black Panther two is going to come 585 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: out right, and I'm going to give you an early prediction. 586 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a pretty good superhero movie, like most 587 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: Marvel superheroes are. It was racist when the original Black 588 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: pain Anther came out. Buck if you were like, yeah, 589 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think Black Panther, you know, around seventh, 590 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: eighth best Marvel movie, Top ten ish just kind of okay, right, 591 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like it was revolutionary. We were like, oh, 592 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: it's so racist of you to think Black Panther's not 593 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: the greatest movie ever, or it's sexist of you not 594 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: to think that the girl reboot of Ghostbusters wasn't the 595 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: greatest movie ever. They're just okay, they're just come out 596 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: of me when I go see it on Broadway because 597 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: I didn't have that kind of bank roll at the time, 598 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: but I watched a YouTube version, like the video version 599 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: of Hamilton, and I'm just like, this just isn't good. 600 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. People can yell at me all 601 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: day about how much they love it. I don't get 602 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: just okay, I think it's not I mean, I enjoyed 603 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: going to watch it because I'm a history buff, but 604 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: this whole trend of hey, we're gonna remake history. I 605 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: think they're doing seventeen seventy six now with women and 606 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: like like playing like George Washington. I don't understand why 607 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 1: that's in any way interesting. I have. I have good 608 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: though for those of us who like obscure USA TV 609 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 1: from like the USA Channel back in the day. Quantum 610 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: Leap is getting a reboot. Do you remember quantumly? Remember 611 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: I remember Quantum. I was a Quantum with Scott Bacula, 612 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: I believe was the guy in Quantum Leap getting a 613 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: reboot now, which just makes me sit here and say, 614 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: this generation listening to us, Clay, that's the millennia or 615 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: gen Z and below. They have not known the greatness 616 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: of mcgiver, which is a show that definitely be reboot 617 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: deserves ever listen, it's mcgiver and Murder. She wrote, that 618 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: was like the nineties for me, man, I love those shows. 619 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep giving this as a gift to 620 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: Hollywood because I'm a caring person. Make a streaming show 621 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: or an HBO show on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. 622 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: Do it. It'll be number one in the nation. Take it.
