Trump's going to 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 3: sign this big beautiful bill. So the Big beautiful Bill 12 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 3: has gone through. It will be on the President's desk. 13 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: This is huge. It is huge. 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 3: We will get into some of the final items that 15 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 3: were in this. We will discuss some of the no votes. 16 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: There were some no votes. We'll also talk about how 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: Elon Musk, formerly of DOGE fame pretty unhappy with the 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: situation here of the five trillion dollar debt ceiling rays. 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: I think there's still potentially bucked a little bit of 20 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: drama because I think the House will now have to 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: come back and agree to some. 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 4: Of the. 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 3: Side I got ahead of myself there too excited, too excited, 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: So there will there will be some drama that's in reconciling. 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 3: It's going to go through the House has already passed it. 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: It's going to go through. But thank you for the yeah. 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: Sorely for me for the nerdy edition where there will 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: continue to be drama. First is that going to take though? 29 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, I I I just we have not 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: spent a ton of time on the minute by minute 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: because we knew that this was going to pass and 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: it will pass on some level. Uh, but they still 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: have some maneuvering. I think Trump wants it by July fourth, right, 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: is the ideal day that he would sign it, which 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: is Friday, And so I imagine that they are hoping that 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: the House will sign off on the changes made by 37 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: the Senate at some point in time in the next 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: several days. But that's the timeframe. Uh so that is 39 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the last drama to be had before this thing is 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,919 Speaker 1: officially signed an underway, which. 41 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: Is not gonna be It's not gonna mean drama. 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna you know what I mean, Like, 43 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: come on, what's the drama gonna be, Clay, Someone's really 44 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: the Republicans aren't gonna actually do the thing that they've 45 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 3: already said they were gonna do. I don't I don't 46 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: see it, but yes, procedurally speaking, they have to reconcile it, right, 47 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 3: So the house as the set of the set, it says, 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: how's that? Okay, So let's get into what is in 49 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: the big beautiful bill, which I do believe is its 50 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: official is its official name. 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: I'm just seeing now. 52 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: I think it happened so recently, Clay, that all the 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: the news sites live and in real time here are 54 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: still updating. 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: Past as we came on the air like that is, yes, 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: the second absolute latest breaking news. 57 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 3: That's why I got all excited. Okay, so it was 58 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: happening in real time. We got to open the show with, ah, 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: it has past. The said it fifty one fifty, and 60 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: jd Vance had to step in to uh write, Jade Vance, 61 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: I'm reading this in real time because it just happened. 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: Just you understand, this wasn't like an hour. What happened 63 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: seconds or minutes ago. Three Republicans ran Paul of Kentucky, 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: Tom Tillis of North Carolina, not running next year. Susan 65 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: Collins of Maine joined Democrats to vote against the bill. 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: Paul opposed the legislation's five trillion dollars debtlimit, et cetera. Okay, 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: so Susan Collins. Not a surprise. Rand Paul being Rand Paul, 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: Trump's probably gonna have some truths for him that are 69 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: not very nice. And Tom tillis here. Lisa Murkowski was 70 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: the final piece. She backed the bill after discussions with 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: Thune twenty four hours of motions and amendments. Senate Republican 72 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: leaders altered the bill right up to the final moments. 73 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 3: So this was this was down to the wire, everyone 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: to get the things they wanted to get into in here. 75 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: Hundreds of billions for border security, national defense, increased budget 76 00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: deficit by about three point three trillion through twenty thirty four. Yeah, 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: look it's I'll tell you, the White House is very 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: excited about this. 79 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: I think the economy is going to look. 80 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 3: Really good as a result of this, or rather, there's 81 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: going to be a lot of good things that happened. Clay, 82 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: we knew it would get through. Yeah, tie breaking vote 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: from JD. Van So it was a close run thing here. 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 3: We knew it would get through. It's getting through now. Okay, 85 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: the House reconciles it on their end. What are your 86 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: thoughts as we sit here and bask in the glow 87 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: of MAGA another win up on the board. 88 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: So I think the big question is going to be 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: how fast can the economy grow? So, now that this 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: bill is done, the ability to grow the economy is 91 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: how we end up keeping from having to massively increase 92 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: the overall debt, and so that is my biggest question. 93 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Can we get this economy moving at three percent growth 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: doesn't sound found outrageous to me, but it is better 95 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: than we have been growing the economy over the past 96 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: decade or so fifteen years on average, And so to me, 97 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: the biggest question out there is how fast can we 98 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: grow the economy? To me, the secondary question on this 99 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: is can we get the FED to lower interest rates? 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: Our interest rates are about two percent above where the 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: EU is right now at four point twenty five four 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: point five. You guys can correct me in the studio 103 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: if I get the percentages wrong. I think the numbers 104 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: need to be around two and a half frankly where 105 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: the EU is. If that were to happen, then mortgage 106 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: rates and theory are going to come back. That would 107 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: unlock the housing market, which is I think the most 108 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: frozen aspect of the American economy right now. So many 109 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: of you got the two and a half or three 110 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: percent fifteen and thirty year mortgages. Congrats, but it's been 111 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: several years and we accelerated those so rapidly that lots 112 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: of people are unwilling to sell their homes or move 113 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: despite changing life circumstances, because the difference between a two 114 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: and a half and a three and a seven percent 115 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: mortgage rate is so massively substantial. If that starts to 116 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: get unfrozen, then I think a lot of the other 117 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: aspects of the economy will start to fire on all cylinders. 118 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 3: So the House Freedom Caucus, I was asking, who's going 119 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: to cause drama here? I was all excited, like, Okay, 120 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: this is finally happening. We're looking at a holiday coming 121 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: up here, a great holiday weekend. Country's kicking ass. Things 122 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: going really well. House Freedom Caucus says, and this is 123 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: as of the last twenty four hours. House budget framework 124 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: was clear. No new deficit spending in the One Big 125 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill. The Senates version adds six hundred and fifty 126 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 3: one billion to the deficit, and that's before interest costs, 127 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 3: which nearly double the total. That's not fiscal responsibility, that's 128 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: not what we agreed to. The Senate must make major 129 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: changes and should at least be in the ballpark of 130 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 3: compliance with the House Budget Framework. 131 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: Uh, are they really going to do this? Are they 132 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: going to do this? 133 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be some drama associated with this, 134 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: and I think ultimately everybody if. 135 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: The drama is just so they get attention and then 136 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: they let this go through, they're just being annoying. I'm 137 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: just gonna say this because we've already We've already had 138 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: this discussion. 139 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: I get it. This is the best you're gonna get. 140 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: And there's people out there who are gonna say, Look, 141 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: Rand Paul's right about the deficit. I think he is. 142 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Chip Uh, Chip Roy is right about the deficit. I 143 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: think he is. This is the best bill that's going 144 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: to pass and you just saw. I have yet to 145 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: see anyone come up with a bill that could get 146 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: passage in the Senate and the House and do as 147 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: much of this bill does. Politics is the art of 148 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: the possible. I get people out there that are upset 149 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: about the debt, the deficit. I am Look. The reality 150 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: is nobody wants to address the fact that entitlement spending, 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: Social Security, and medicare make it virtually impossible to largely 152 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: restrict the size of the federal government, and as soon 153 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: as you mentioned that, we get flooded, and every politician 154 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: does with Hey, that money is mine, I want it back. 155 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: And so the structural issues we have at play here, 156 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: and this is a challenge, and I don't want to 157 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: be the want walk guy, but the structural issues we 158 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: have in play is there are way more older people 159 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: now than there are younger people in many advanced countries 160 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: in the world, and entitle what programs are predicated on 161 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: there being way more younger people than there are older people. 162 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: And if you are around our age, the math doesn't 163 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: add up for us to get the Social Security dollars 164 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: back that we put in. And that's just the reality. 165 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Without adjusting based on retirement ages, based on just looking 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: at population tables, I presume that I'm going to get 167 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: virtually nothing from Social Security. That's me. I'm forty six. 168 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, people can start taking social Security. I think 169 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: it's sixty two, so I'm not that far away. Well, 170 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be there. This is 171 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: why I find the whole thing frustrating. 172 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: And I appreciate that Rand Paul wants to Senator Paul 173 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: wants to have his voice heard on this, and mathematically 174 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: he's right, but politically he's wrong because no one's going 175 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: to do anything about this right now, and there's no 176 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 3: willingness among the American people, even people who say they 177 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: want to tackle the debt to do it. 178 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: It's like having a debt ceiling fight. 179 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: It's a fake fight because we always raise the debt 180 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: ceiling and then if they default, they don't really Rather 181 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: there's discussion about default, they're not really going to default. 182 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: So it just becomes tiresome and you lose. It's the 183 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: boy who cried wolf. 184 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: You lose public interest, and I think that yeah, until 185 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 3: people want to talk about entitlements just to keep spending 186 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: the money we have to spend to achieve the priorities 187 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: of the Republican Party. If we don't have a secure 188 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: border and we don't deal with the illegal immigration issue, 189 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: we Medicare and social security in thirty years is going 190 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 3: to be the least of our problems because we're not 191 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 3: gonna have a country any more. 192 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: So. 193 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: The hundreds of billions of dollars that are going toward 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: border security and the deportation efforts of the illegals who 195 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: pile them. Under Biden it's absolutely essential. A lot of 196 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 3: the things that are covered in the big beautiful bill 197 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: are going to be I believe rocket fuel for the economy. 198 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: Growth is also really important. Remember nobody's factoring in that 199 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: Trump wasn't I should say, factoring in Trump's tariffs into 200 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: financial and fiscal matters for the country. It's already one 201 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty billion dollars and it's just getting going. 202 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: So you know, there are other pathways maybe that could 203 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 3: be considered here that might make the situation better. Now 204 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: that I mean I did, I'll say, I know that 205 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: Trump had to sign it, so I've forgotten. 206 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: Now the House has the reconcile on their side for 207 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: a second, and I. 208 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: Think they're just gonna do what they did. We're gonna 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: get a bunch of windy speeches about the debt, the debt, 210 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: the debt, and then they're gonna and then they're gonna 211 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: vote for it. I don't understand what's We all get it. 212 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: We all understand there's nothing else to be said until 213 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: until you want to deal with entitlements. Everybody, you don't 214 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: want to deal with the debt. End of story, full stop, 215 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: end of conversation, And nobody wants to deal with entitlement, 216 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: so let's just do what we can to achieve the 217 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: agenda we've got. While Trump's running things. 218 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: I think that there's going to be a recognition that 219 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: entitlement spending is out of control and everybody's gonna have 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: to get their benefits cut. And we should have We 221 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: should have a real conversation about social Security and the 222 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: fact that it's actually not a very good deal and 223 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: most Americans just don't really look into it because it's 224 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: been established for a long time. The government takes your money, 225 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: they give you a three percent return roughly on it, 226 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: and if you die, this is all you'll never get it. 227 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: You know that this is all falling on deaf ears. 228 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 3: People love their people love social Security, and you know 229 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: what the problem is, Clay, the lunatic communists who are 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 3: certainly right now sitting around a lot of them praising 231 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: the Mom Donnie wing of the Democrat Party. They're not 232 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: going to get into what you're talking about. They're just 233 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: gonna tell people bull they're taking your social Security, and 234 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: then you lose, and then the communists are in charge 235 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: and then they ruin everything. So this is truth, is 236 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: the political reality of America right now, and Trump sees it, 237 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: and I that's why I have my patience for this 238 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: thing and my patients even for beyond. Yeah, of course, 239 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: hear it out, make the case, tell everybody the numbers. 240 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 3: But standing in the way of the Trump agenda because 241 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: you say that you're not getting the cuts you want. 242 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 3: You're not getting the cuts. Okay, it's not happening. You're 243 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: you're not You're not actually going to deal with the dead. 244 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: It's thirty seven trillion dollars, it's not happening. 245 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: How many people do you think even understands so security. 246 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: What percentage of the American population? 247 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: I mean, they know that they get money when they're 248 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: when they're older, and they needed it. I mean that's 249 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: all they care to know. But the fact that it's 250 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: an awful deal. 251 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: And if you got to keep your own money and 252 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: you just put it in index funds. 253 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: You would people don't trust themselves. People don't They would 254 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: spend it. People would spend it on a jet ski 255 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: and then they'd say, oh, but I need help now. 256 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 2: And you know this is this is the problem. People want. 257 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: Everybody wants somebody else to pay for their stuff. 258 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: Realizing that they're the ones paying for the stuff they 259 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: think is coming from other people. 260 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: I think the biggest challenge is it's so embedded now 261 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: that most people don't even examine the underlying concept, which 262 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: is basically a big pyramid scheme, and it's predicated on 263 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: there always being way more young people than there are 264 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: old people. And we're not in that era anymore. 265 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: Clay, the average person pays in to medicare less than 266 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 3: half of what they take out of Medicare in terms 267 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: of the. 268 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: Actual cost of their care. 269 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: But if you tell anybody that you're going to change Medicare, 270 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: you know what they say, I paid for that. It's 271 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: not welfare, it's an entitlement. I've paid for it. I 272 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: deserve it. Okay, Well, if I give you money for 273 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: one ice cream cone, but you keep giving me two 274 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: ice cream cones, you're going to run out of ice 275 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: cream cones. Nobody wants to hear it. And honestly, I'm 276 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: excited about the border. I'm excited about saving the country. 277 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: I'm excited about the Trump agenda being funded. You know, 278 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: I'm with Stephen Miller on this stuff. Man, Like, we 279 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 3: got to save the country now, so we'll figure out 280 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: the debt later. When people want to have big boy 281 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: conversations about it, they don't actually the America answer you 282 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,119 Speaker 3: want to have the conversation. 283 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: The answer then becomes the growth rate is everything, yep, 284 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: because the growth rate of the country is what can 285 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: turn this into a net positive bill. So if you 286 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: are optimistic on AI, if you want to unleash individual 287 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: American meritocracy, if we ever got the country growing at 288 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: four percent again, all of these issues vanish basically, right 289 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: a four percent a year, four percent a year, four 290 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: percent a year. We're growing at like one point five 291 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: percent a year, one point eight percent a year. The 292 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: overall growth rate of the American economy is the key. 293 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: If overall spending is not going to be addressed, and 294 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to be a political will unfortunately, as 295 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: you and I believe there should be. If you look 296 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: at just the basic books, the political will isn't there 297 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: to address the spending. 298 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: And so we live in a match to understand understand. 299 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: It's not convincing Republicans to tackle the debt. It's dealing 300 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: with the fact that Democrats will call you heartless, you know, ruthless, 301 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: throwing old ladies off their medicare and taking away social 302 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: security from hardworking Americans so they can seize power and 303 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: act like communist maniacs. That's the problem. So this is 304 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 3: it's not just like we're having to talk on our side. 305 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: And also the concept of cut, which the media I 306 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: think does a poor job of slowing the rate of growth, 307 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: is not a cut. It's still a growth. But they 308 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: have managed to create this idea, well, we're going to 309 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: dial back to growth of the of the of the 310 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: overall spending, and that is seen as a cut. Oh, 311 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: you're cutting spinning. No, spinning is still growing, it's just 312 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: not growing at the same rate. And honestly, I think 313 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of this is just communication failure. I don't 314 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: think people know the details. I think a lot of 315 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: people don't care to know the details. 316 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. 317 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: It's going to pass and Trump's gonna end up signing it, 318 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: and everyone who's chirping about this from the Congress in 319 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: the meantime is going to go along with what's basically there. 320 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: Just throw it out there for everybody. 321 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: But the debt is not being dealt with, that is 322 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 3: for sure. And that is why the Bricks conference is 323 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: so interesting. It's going on next week right around this 324 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 3: time for zill Russia, India, China. You know what they're 325 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: trying to do. Get off the dollar as the world's 326 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: reserve currency. Why does that matter, Well, that would be 327 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: a huge lifestyle change for all Americans if that happens, 328 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: and as it happens over time, it means that we 329 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 3: can't fund the things that we fund right now with 330 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: money printing the same way because other countries aren't going 331 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: to buy our debt and we can't just print our 332 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 3: way out of whatever our problems are. This is why 333 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: you need to take action now, and not everything can 334 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 3: be solved by this Trump administration.

Just search the Klay Travis and Buck 354 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 3: Sexton show and hit the subscribe button. 355 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: Takes less than five seconds to help ununk me. 356 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 3: Do it for Clay, do it for freedom, and get 357 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 3: great content while you're there the Clay Travis en Buck 358 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: Sexton Show YouTube channel. 359 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: The Senate has passed the big beautiful bill that happened 360 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: right at the start of the first hour of today's 361 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: program that will now go back to the House. End 362 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: result is going to be passage. Seems to be I 363 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: would say general happiness over this passing, but also a 364 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've picked up on this before, 365 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: a demand for perfection in bills, the likes of which 366 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: I have not seen in the past. All bills passed 367 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: by Congress are imperfect. Many of them are, unfortunately awful, 368 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: which is why in many ways I would just like 369 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: less government. I think most of you out there would 370 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: like less government. Just get out of the way and 371 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: let individual excellence triumph, which is how you get the 372 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: economy growing. But this bill, I think will aid substantially 373 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: in getting the economy growing. It will provide certainty on 374 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: tax rates, It will further shut down the southern border. 375 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: It is imperfect, as all acts of Congress are, but 376 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: I believe the net benefits are very much in a 377 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: positive direction. Now, for those of you out there that 378 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: are concerned about government spending, you're right, the government spending 379 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: is out of control. There is not, however, the political 380 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: will to address government spending, either on the Democrat or 381 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: the Republican side. It doesn't exist. If you argue for it. 382 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: In cutting government spending, cutting entitlements, all these things, you 383 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: don't get elected. And to Buck's point, eventually communists take power, 384 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: and they spend more money, and they tax you at 385 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: a higher rate. So I don't know who the great 386 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: communicator is going to be that can actually sit down. 387 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: I feel like in many ways, back in the day, 388 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: some of you will remember this Ross Perrot used to 389 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: just buy commercial time in nineteen ninety two, and he 390 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: had his. 391 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: Western can it finish? 392 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: He had his lectern, and he had his like a pointer, 393 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: and he would stand there and just make the case 394 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: as a executive would about how government spending was out 395 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: of control. I think Ron Johnson is right on this. 396 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: I think Grand Paul is right on this. We have 397 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: allowed embedded spending excess to be continued from COVID. I 398 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: agree with all of it. The political will to address 399 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: it isn't there. And Democrats this is where they win 400 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: a lot of these arguments because they have established the 401 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: definition of a cut is actually slowing the rate of growth. 402 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: I've never heard of this being applied anywhere else. 403 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 3: This is really this was true Republicans in the Tea 404 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 3: Party era trying with there was that. There was a 405 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 3: huge fight, and it was about slowing the rate of 406 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: the increase of spending. It was about spending less of 407 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 3: a of a you know, bringing the trajectory of increase 408 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: spending down just a little bit and in the decrease 409 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 3: in the increase. Yes, and this was a huge political 410 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 3: fight back in the Tea Party days a decade ago. 411 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, I you. 412 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 3: Know, I don't want to be I don't want to 413 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: be dismissive or cynical about it. But usually when I 414 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: say that, it's because I'm about to be. We just 415 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: haven't suffered enough. People haven't spent enough. They haven't seen 416 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 3: enough of their grandchildren not living up to the you know, 417 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 3: the quality of life that they themselves had. Or we 418 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 3: haven't seen enough money going to paying interest and having 419 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 3: that crowd out private spending. We haven't seen enough of 420 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: the tax raises that eventually are going to be a 421 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: part of trying to stabilize this. Like you know, that's 422 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: or or or happiness, because we're going into a holiday 423 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 3: weekend and I already have holiday brain going on here 424 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: a little bit or clay. We find ways that AI 425 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: and productivity and growth are so profound that it's it's 426 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: a something of a fiscal miracle, right. I mean, we 427 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 3: become so productive and so efficient as an economy that 428 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 3: we're able to grow our way, if not out of it, 429 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: grow our way to continued stability with it. 430 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: That's a possibility as well. 431 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 3: I don't think that that's There are people who believe 432 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 3: that AI is going to be more transformational than even 433 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: the Internet has been fixed. Without that for a second, 434 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: so no one really knows what that means in terms 435 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: of how much wealth. You know, people think of wealth 436 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: as zero sum, and it's not. Now I'm barring from 437 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: Naval ravakand he's a very smart guy. Status is zero sum. 438 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: Wealth can actually be something that is real and that 439 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: is broadly shared. We're all a lot richer than the 440 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 3: richest people were in the fifteen hundreds. Why is that right? 441 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 3: The world has gotten a lot wealthier, not just individuals. 442 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 3: Status is a different thing, that's zero sum. So I 443 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: just don't know if we've reached the point. I don't 444 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 3: think we have reached the point of the country where 445 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 3: we want to tackle the problem. Maybe we want to 446 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: see if we can grow our way out of it, 447 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: and that's where we are. So any noise to the 448 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 3: contrary right now is unfortunate, just that noise. 449 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: I think the are argument that might cut through from 450 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: a communication perspective is if you put on ten pounds 451 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: of weight every year and then suddenly you only put 452 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: on three. You're getting fat slower, but you're still getting fatter. 453 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: And the whole idea that slowing the rate of an 454 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: increase or slowing the rate of growth as a cut 455 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: is one of the most pernicious I think realities that 456 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: has been allowed to exist in the way we even 457 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: have conversation. This is where the left does a better 458 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: job with language, because defining a cut as something that 459 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: actually leads to something being greater is really what they 460 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: do in essence, because what it means is once they 461 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: get the money spent, they never dial back from the 462 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: money that has been spent. They embed it. 463 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: It's also it's like revenue versus taxes. They don't use 464 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: the word tax really if they can avoid it. They'll 465 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: say revenue because revenue is just money the government has 466 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: which is good and goes to investing. 467 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: That's what I'll also say, we need. 468 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: To invest more in the following programs because investing sounds good. 469 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 3: What they mean is take your money under the threat 470 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: of fine, zan or imprisonment and put it into things 471 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: that the government decides, our payoffs for the constituents that 472 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 3: they need to pay off. That's what it actually is, 473 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 3: But they play games with the language. I say this 474 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: to Clay offline, I mean off air, I'll say it 475 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 3: to all of you. It's the same thing. When you 476 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 3: talk about minimum wage. Minimum wage is economically a flawed concept. 477 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: It does not work the way it is intended to work. 478 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 3: It never has, it never will, doesn't matter. People like it. 479 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 3: And if you say don't pay minimum wage, you know 480 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 3: what happens. 481 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: You lose. 482 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 3: So it's very hard and you could say, well, I'll 483 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: just convince people, make a better argument. 484 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: You can convince some people. 485 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 3: Can you convince enough people that the communists who are 486 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 3: just going to shout you're a fat cat? They play 487 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 3: the politics of envy, the mom Donnie routine like this 488 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 3: mom Donnie stuff is none of this is new. 489 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: It's the same thing with Bernie Sanders. 490 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: Did you see Bernie Sanders sitting down with Joe Rogan recently? 491 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: I might add talking about the the lawsuits. 492 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: That Trump is filing. 493 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: You know what Bernie Sanders does whenever he's cornered with 494 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: a stupid argument, he pretends he doesn't know the details. 495 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: This is what he does. He does this with economics too, 496 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: I might add, well, you know that'll have the fects 497 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: and the figures on that, so I can't get into it. 498 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 3: Then the no, it's because his arguments are trash clay. 499 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 3: But Bernie Sanders, Mamdani aoc, they're all doing the same thing, 500 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 3: which is ignoring history, ignoring math, and telling people they 501 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 3: have a secret sauce, a secret formula that's gonna make 502 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: everybody feel like they're getting enough and they're good enough 503 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 3: and everything is fine. It is always a lie, but 504 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: it's a very appealing lie. 505 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: Something that Trump is going to focus on buck that 506 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm starting to see attention on that I think could 507 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: be transformative. Okay, we've talked now. The big beautiful Bill 508 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: is eventually going to pass in some fashions, pass the Senate, 509 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: past the House. They have to reconcile them. But I 510 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to suddenly blow up. There's going 511 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: to be some form of a bill that passes. Okay, 512 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: so that is now moving forward in the agenda. There 513 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: is now and I think this is going to be 514 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: potentially transformative momentum to not count illegal immigrants for purposes 515 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: of the House seats. Have you seen this? This could 516 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: be hugely important and it's structural and it's massive. First 517 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: of all, we need a new census because I think 518 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: they screwed it up, and it would change the way 519 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: that the twenty twenty eight election map is set up 520 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: because it would mean that even if Democrats won Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. 521 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: The electoral votes are not there to allow them to 522 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: be able to win two seventy to two sixty eight. Unfortunately, 523 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: the electoral college not going to be shifted. It doesn't 524 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: appear till after twenty thirty. But what no one talks 525 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: about that I think Trump could get behind, and this 526 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: could be really important too, is they count illegal immigrants 527 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: for purposes of House seats, and the number is roughly 528 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: seven hundred and thirty or seven hundred and forty thousand. 529 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: Congressmen represent individuals. If you said, hey, we're not counting 530 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants at all for purposes of House seats, this 531 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: would mean that the House was not winnable for Democrats. 532 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: They may win the House back in twenty twenty six, 533 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: but structurally, if if I were now the Trump team 534 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: and I were giving them advice on something that I 535 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: think would be transformative in the illegal immigrant space, it 536 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: would be let's make it clear that you cannot count 537 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants for purposes of redistricting House seats and districting 538 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: House seats, and this would probably knock at least ten 539 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: Democrat seats out of control. Why in the world should 540 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: these people be counted, and it be the case that 541 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: Democrats benefit overwhelmingly off of people that are not citizens, 542 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: not them voting, but just then being counted for census purposes. 543 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: This means that big cities and blue states that have 544 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: encouraged illegal immigrants to come into their locations would be 545 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 1: dialed back in their impact, and this would have a 546 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: substantial impact going forward. I think it's one of the 547 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: big things that I would say, Hey, now that we 548 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: got this done, let's focus on that. 549 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: Well. 550 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 3: It also goes to the perception people have, which I 551 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: think is in this case correct, which is that the 552 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: system is rigged because if you're a political party that 553 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: is benefiting from violations of law, you are benefiting in 554 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: terms of, you know, cold hard facts of power when 555 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: it comes to leveraging something that is the mass violation, 556 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: the zero violation of American law. That's not the way 557 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 3: the game is supposed to be played, all right, The 558 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 3: refs have been paid off. This is a problem, and 559 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: as you point out, a substantial and a big one 560 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: by the numbers. So yeah, this is why I keep 561 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 3: saying though with the big beautiful bill, the illegals situation, 562 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 3: this is why Trump won this is the number one 563 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: reason in my mind that Trump won the election as 564 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: convincingly as he did. I know, there's other stuff, there's 565 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: a million things. Okay, it's always you're taking a snapshot 566 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: of the way that one hundred and fifty million people 567 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 3: decided to click one box or the other. But immigration 568 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: is the single issue that I think motivated more people 569 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: to get behind Trump. And this has to start getting 570 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 3: fixed right now because what we saw under Joe Biden 571 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: that is truly unsustainable if you want to consider this 572 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 3: to be America going forward, not in fifty years, in 573 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 3: five years, you can't have another ten million illegals pile 574 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: into this country on top of the illegals that are 575 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 3: already here and think that this is still going to 576 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 3: be what we've thought it is. And Clay, it's already 577 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: having a huge political effect as we see give all 578 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: these cities that are trying to thwart federal law enforcement. 579 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: Well that's because the political power of the illegal constituents 580 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: in those cities is huge. 581 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: And they know that they have to try and preserve it. 582 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: We'll take some calls on this, and we'll take some 583 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: of your cars. We don't have any guest scheduled today 584 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: eight hundred and two eight two two eight A two. 585 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: You can always talk back lots of emails rolling in 586 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: will dive into some of those because a lot of 587 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: you have big. 588 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: Takes on all of that as well. Play wants to 589 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 3: cut your Social Security, so calling and yell at them. 590 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Decision. This is why I get, This is why I 591 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: don't have to run for elective office. I can actually 592 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: tell you the truth as opposed to having to lie 593 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: to everybody and be like, hey, it's a magical world. 594 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna get more money than you ever put in 595 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: and there's not gonna be any consequences.

Tom Tillis, Rand Paul, who's 620 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: the somebody else didn't get Oh Collins didn't vote for me. 621 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 3: So yep, that was what happened there. Now, thank you 622 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 3: play for the catch. It goes back to the House 623 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: side before it goes to the President's desk for signature. 624 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 3: The House is gonna there's gonna be some squawking from 625 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 3: the Freedom Caucus about it. I don't think they're going 626 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: to sabotage the Trump agenda at this late moment on 627 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: the big beautiful bill, but. 628 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: They're gonna be. 629 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: They're gonna, you know, look, they're allowed to have their 630 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: say on it, and they will. So that will be 631 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: a thing that occurs in the next few days and 632 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 3: we're probably gonna get to a signature before the holiday. 633 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: Hopefully that is how this will go. So that's the 634 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 3: big news. And then we had the most interesting visit 635 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 3: of the day was Donald Trump going down to Alligator Alcatraz, 636 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: which is in o Choppy, oh Choppy, Florida, which is 637 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 3: near Everglades City, which I can tell you is not 638 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 3: really much of a city. It is really middle of Nowheresville. 639 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 2: I think o Choppy, uh is. 640 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 3: It has one hundred people something like that lives and 641 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 3: lives in the in the It is unincorporated territory, so 642 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 3: it's not even I think a township per se. It's 643 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 3: quite small. But that was the one if you're wondering, 644 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: it wasn't Lake Okachobe. I know Lake Okachobe. O Choppi 645 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: was the new place. So that's where they have this 646 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 3: airstrip that is a place to put illegal migrants, illegal 647 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 3: aliens before they are deported. And Trump is saying, if 648 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 3: you try to run from the gators or swim from 649 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 3: the gators, it's going to be a bad day for you. 650 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 3: So there's all that going on, and then he got 651 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 3: into Kami, Mom, Donnie, do you have anything in the 652 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 3: alligator Alcatraz. The team is saying that all you have 653 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 3: to do is be able to not zigzag but outrun 654 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 3: the nearest person to you, which is that is always true, 655 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,959 Speaker 3: and that is mean. That's very mean. Clay would Clay 656 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 3: would not leave me behind to get eaten by gators, right, Clay? 657 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 3: Probably correct? 658 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: Yes, I would be Again I've said on this program before, 659 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: I am prepared to save anyone from an alligator attack. 660 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: If you see me near a swamp, I've got your back. 661 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: So uh, just don't go in the water. But if 662 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: they come out of the water, like in Crocodile Dundee, 663 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: I know that's crocodile versus an alligator, then I'll be 664 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: like mc dundee right there to protect you. By the way, 665 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: that movie also still a lot of fun. If you've 666 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 1: got kids and you want to watch some movies during 667 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: the July fourth holiday, whether it's not great, maybe you're 668 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: sitting around. We've been watching all the Harry Potter movies 669 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: in the Travis household and there's still really good, So 670 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: props JK. Rowling. I think she may have a future 671 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: in this creative industry space. But that alligator Alcatraz thing, 672 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: and I think I know we said it last hour, 673 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: but I do think it's so important. Trump and DeSantis 674 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: are a whale of a team. And I know Ron 675 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: DeSantis only has whatever it is, a year and a 676 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: half left basically as the governor of Florida, but I 677 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: would not be surprised if DeSantis ends up in some 678 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: form or fashion as a part of Trump two point 679 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: oh cabinet. And what I mean by that is there's 680 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: constant doing these jobs takes a lot. So so far 681 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: we have had pretty great stability in Trump two point 682 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: oh cabinet universe. But at some point some of these guys, 683 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: probably after and gals after the midterms, are going to 684 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: start to say, Hey, I want to do something different. 685 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: I'm burned out two years of going full speed doing X, 686 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Y or Z. There's something else that I want to do. 687 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me if Trump comes back to DeSantis. 688 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: Remember there was some talk about Desantus potentially being the 689 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense when it was uncertain about whether hegg 690 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Seth was going to be confirmed. And that's another example 691 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: of jd Vance breaking a tie fifty to fifty in 692 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: the Senate. Jd Vance gets the vote to get heg 693 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: set then and Pete has done a very very good job. 694 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: Since this is also an example in the big beautiful Bill, 695 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: you've got jd Vance breaking the tie. This is why 696 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: having a little bit of a buffer in the Senate 697 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: fifty three forty seven. Uh man, it would be great 698 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: to be up to fifty four or fifty five or 699 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: fifty six as it pertains to where we're headed on next. 700 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: But the Trump DeSantis relationship very strong, and I think 701 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: it's important to point out that by and large, most 702 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: of you out there who voted Trump, I really can 703 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: hardly point to anything in the first six months and say, hey, 704 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: I think Trump could have done a better job on this. 705 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: Politics the art of the possible. So I understand that 706 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, this is my number one issue, 707 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: and this hasn't been addressed completely to the ability that 708 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 1: I would like. You can't make people do what there 709 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: is not the political will for them to do. So 710 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: you and Ibuck, we talked about this somem earlier, were 711 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: very troubled by the national debt. When the Tea Party 712 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: got its start, national debt was ten trillion dollars. National 713 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: debt is soon going to be forty trillion dollars. That's untenable. 714 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: But until there is a political will to address it, 715 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: and you can't solve it by increasing tax rates, that 716 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: doesn't work. Ultimately, I think you're going to have to 717 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: dial back spending. This is inevitable, but that political will 718 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: is not there yet. So in the meantime you have 719 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: two options. You can either whine and complain, and some 720 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: people are choosing that because it's not kick your legs, 721 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: scream like a child, have a temper tantrum, or you 722 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,399 Speaker 1: can do what you and I are talking about. Now, Hey, 723 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: this bill is going to pass, and now it's time 724 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: to try to figure out how do we grow the 725 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: economy as rapidly as we possibly can to help to 726 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: lead to a surplus through growth as opposed to a 727 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: surplus through cuts. That is the new hope, and to me, 728 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 1: if we can get it to three four percent growth, 729 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: everything changes. 730 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 3: Yes, So that's the case for optimism, and I agree 731 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 3: with you on that. The case for optimism is not 732 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 3: that everyone's going to see the wisdom of Iran sorright 733 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 3: Ran Paul's math and make massive changes to the biggest 734 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 3: spending programs and priorities of the United States government now and. 735 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: For the last well all of our lifetimes. So yeah, 736 00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 2: that's not going to happen. 737 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 3: Trump just has the economy so juiced and so in fuego, 738 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 3: that's some very good things can happen. What will make 739 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 3: things a lot worse is if the commedi mom Donnie 740 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 3: is able to take control. Trump spoke about this. There's 741 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 3: a marine one noise in the background, but we wanted 742 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 3: you to hear this. This is cut seven. This is look. 743 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 3: Even President Trump's winning and we all see this. This 744 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 3: is concerning when somebody gets the wind that is back 745 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 3: in someplace as important as New York City play it. 746 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 5: I think he's terri book. 747 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 4: He's a communist. 748 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 5: The last thing we need is a communist. I said 749 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 5: there will never be socialism in the United States, so 750 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 5: we have a communist. I think he's bad to and 751 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with 752 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 5: him watching him because he has stick up right, but 753 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 5: with Joney to get his funny and so what, he's 754 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 5: not going to run away with anything. I think he's Frankly, 755 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 5: I've heard he's your total nutjob. 756 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 2: I think the people who. 757 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 5: In New York are crazy. He said they go this route. 758 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: I think they're crazy. 759 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 4: We will have a communist in the for the first time, 760 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 4: really a pure true communist. He wants to operate the 761 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 4: grocery stores, the department stores. What about the people like that? 762 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 4: I think it's. 763 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 3: Crazy, Yeah, Clay, it is crazy. And I understand that 764 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 3: there's this sense that it's limited to New York. But 765 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 3: AOC and Bernie Sanders, they co sign really all of 766 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 3: this stuff, and they're the Democrats that have the most 767 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 3: currency with the base. And it is a Democrat party 768 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 3: that came within a few hundred thousand votes of Trump, 769 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 3: even after lying about Biden's dementia and putting forward the 770 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 3: worst candidate in our lifetime in Kamala Harris. So I mean, 771 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 3: I would argue even worse than the dementia guy, which 772 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 3: tells you a lot. So we have to take this Seriously, 773 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 3: people ask how does the Democratic Party come back? 774 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 2: It's not hard. 775 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 3: They were close even in this election and aggregate numbers. 776 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 3: When you really look at it, there are a lot 777 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 3: of people who are voting Democrat no matter who they 778 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 3: put forward, no matter how crazy the idea is. And 779 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 3: Mom Donni, I think is just a symptom of that 780 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 3: larger malady. 781 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna keep hammering it. If there is 782 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: not a coalition that arises to all come together to 783 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: oppose Mamdanni. If you have Eric Adams running as an independent, 784 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo running as an independent, uh, and you have 785 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: a situation where Curtis Sliwa is the Republican that trio 786 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: is going to assure that Mam Donnie wins. So the 787 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: only way in New York City rejects Mamdanni and has 788 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: some form of sanity in terms of who it's selecting 789 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: as its next mayor is if there's a understanding that 790 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: they cannot all run and there is a coalition of 791 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 1: opposition that comes together to try and defeat Mam Donnie. 792 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: My concern is everybody's going to look out for their 793 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: best interest, meaning we're going to get more attention if 794 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 1: you stay in the race, and everybody else loses, and 795 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: there isn't a coalition brought together to come against him. 796 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: And I think what Trump is talking about in general 797 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: is the opposition that he sees from all these sanctuary 798 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: cities as the process is underway to deport so many 799 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: different people is a direct opposition to the federal government 800 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: and should not be acceptable. And at some point, I 801 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: think there's going to have to be a test case 802 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: of someone, probably a mayor that is one of these 803 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: sanctuary cities that is directly defying federal law, and we're 804 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,479 Speaker 1: going to have to have the court's rule about whether 805 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: or not that is permissible or appropriate, because I don't 806 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: understand we made this argument, and the Supreme Court has 807 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: set it quite clearly. The President of the United States 808 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: is in charge of border related policies, immigration, all of 809 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: those things. How can we allow all of these individual 810 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 1: cities and certainly governors of states, But it's really being 811 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: driven more by mayors of cities that have decided that 812 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: they are sanctuaries. How can we allow them to directly 813 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: defy federal law. At some point that conflict is going 814 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: to have to be resolved in some way by the 815 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: larger court system. It feels inevitable to me. 816 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 3: Well, get some calls and some talkbacks coming up here 817 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 3: in a second. I want to hear from all of 818 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 3: you before Clayon and I sent off for the holiday. 819 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 3: And like I said, Tutor Dixon and tomorrow Brian Mudd 820 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 3: in the next day got great guess hos, We've got 821 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 3: live shows coming up for you with fantastic content. 822 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 2: But clay is going to be on the beach. I 823 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 2: might even get to the beach, and it's fun. I live. 824 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: You don't to the beach. 825 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 3: I don't really get to the beach very often, which 826 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 3: is weird considering I live next to one of the 827 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 3: nicest beaches in America. Some would argue for an urban beach. 828 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 3: For an urban beach, okay, don't. 829 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,479 Speaker 2: Be like, well, what about Tahiti or what about you know. 830 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 3: The Seychelles one of the nicest urban beaches anywhere in 831 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,879 Speaker 3: the world. So yeah, I should get to the beach too. 832 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 3: We'll talk about it. Take some calls eight hundred two 833 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 3: two eight eight two. Dedicated first responders and service members 834 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 3: like US Army Major Scott Smiley have paid a high 835 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 3: price serving our nation and communities. Friends like You have 836 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 3: shown your gratitude for Scott's service and sacrifice not only 837 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 3: through words, but through actions. This brave service member was 838 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 3: in Iraq leading his platoon when a car bomb detonated 839 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 3: in front of him.

So in 879 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 6: the end, they're just totally brainwashed and there's nothing you 880 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 6: can do. 881 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 3: The law either matters or a dozen has nothing to 882 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 3: do with race, has to do with being a rule 883 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: of law society. 884 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 2: Clay. 885 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I think that a lot of people 886 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: are dialed out and just randomly buy into all of 887 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: the historyonics. I mean, I think a perfect example of 888 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: this is, you know we're going to hit right now. 889 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: The stock market is up again today for another high. 890 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: It was only two months ago that they were telling 891 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: you that everything was going to collapse and that you 892 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: needed to make sure that you sold all your stocks, 893 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: and that we were headed for basically a nuclear winter 894 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 1: and from an economic perspective, and it just hasn't happened. 895 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 1: And so I think the total fear there is it 896 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: works on a lot of people, and they are aware 897 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: that emotionally they can play on people's failings as it 898 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: pertains to that. Basically we have next up here, a 899 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: lot of Lord of the Rings nerds in this audience. 900 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 2: Oh we didn't get we said we were gonna do 901 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: the movie thing. 902 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I thought, of times I was doing 903 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 1: my research here New York Times Best Now, this is 904 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a frustration because. 905 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 2: People don't pay. 906 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 3: It's like when you had a teacher that said, make 907 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 3: sure you read the instructions for the exam before you 908 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 3: take the exam. It's the best movies of the twenty 909 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 3: first century. So anybody who's jumping in with Braveheart or 910 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 3: you know which I love and would be my overall choice, 911 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 3: overall favorite movie all time. That's nineteen ninety eight, I think, 912 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 3: or six or I forget when to nine? I don't know, 913 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 3: but it was definitely in the twentyeth twenty two zero, 914 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 3: twenty eighth century, twenty first century best Movies of the 915 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 3: twenty first century. 916 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 2: This is the New York Times list that came out. 917 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: We got a producer. 918 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 3: I got all of you to tell me your picks, 919 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,399 Speaker 3: and I thought they were pretty solid. And let's say 920 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 3: all of you, I mean our team in New York, 921 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 3: New York team. Let's start with you, Ali, Producer, Ali, 922 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 3: what was your best movie of the twenty first century? 923 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 3: You had time to think about this, so you're on 924 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 3: the hot seat now if you forgot what is it? 925 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm totally on the hot seat. I had 926 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: gone with Gladiator, but I had the years all wrong. Yeah, 927 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: I don't think it came about hold On Gill two thousand. Ye, 928 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 1: it counts in the New York Times list, it does, 929 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: because that's that's technically the twenty eighth century. They have 930 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: it down at ninety two, so they are counting anything 931 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: that's two thousand and beyond. 932 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 2: Well, that's an outrage. 933 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 3: First of all, the fact that they're counting it and 934 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: they're putting it at ninety two is an outrage because Ali, 935 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 3: I'd be it would be a top fiver for me, 936 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 3: top fiver for sure. 937 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,720 Speaker 2: They put Parasite at number one a foreign. 938 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 3: Film, as the best movie of the twenty first century, 939 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 3: which which I think is mad at producer Mike. 940 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 2: What was yours? You had a good one? 941 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 3: Dark Knight? Well you dark Knight or was that Greg? 942 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 3: What does producer Mike say, producer dark Knight. 943 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 2: Dark Knight. Yeah, he was Dark Knight. 944 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 3: Solid. I can't I can't quibble with that. I have 945 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 3: watched that movie probably one hundred times. I enjoyed the 946 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 3: Dark Knight. He really brought back people think now all 947 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 3: the Batman franchise, huge franchise that was. It was on 948 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 3: the ropes after a couple of really bad Batman movies 949 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 3: that bombed big time, including one with I think the 950 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 3: girl from Clueless was in it, Alicia Silverstone. 951 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 2: There was a George kloe No, don't even remembers. 952 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 3: George Clooney played Batman and it was such a bad 953 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 3: movie that people don't even remember that he was Batman. 954 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 3: So there, so the Dark Knight was came back from 955 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 3: The Batman Begins and The Dark Knight both great, great options. 956 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 3: Remember twenty first century, we're looking at Clay, what was yours? 957 00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 1: I broke it down trio meaning because to me, there 958 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: is there's a difference between a kid movie, there's a 959 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: difference between a comedy, and there's a difference between a 960 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,640 Speaker 1: dramedy drama. So I went with I agree the whole 961 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight, that that is 962 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: really phenomenal, well done up I think was the best 963 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,799 Speaker 1: of the Pixar movies. Up If You Up is so 964 00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 1: well done. And then I think the funniest movie of 965 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: the twenty first century, I think it's old school. I 966 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: just think it is absolutely hysterical funny. 967 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,800 Speaker 3: Well that's not even a category. And now you're making 968 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 3: up categories funniest. 969 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 2: You think Old School is the funniest movie of the 970 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 2: twenty first century. 971 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: What's funnier than Old School? 972 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I think forty year old vision is funnier 973 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 2: than Old School. 974 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: Forty year old version is very funny. Super Bad is 975 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,840 Speaker 1: very funny. Like there's a series of four or five movies. 976 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: I think that you could argue, I think the combination 977 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,280 Speaker 1: of Will Ferrell Vince Vaughan is tough to be. Wedding 978 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: Crashers also really really funny and well done. But I 979 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,319 Speaker 1: think you have to consider what again, best doesn't mean. 980 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: Citizen Kane is a phenomenal movie. We talked about yesterday. 981 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: Shindler's List is a phenomenal movie. It's hard to sit 982 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 1: down and just be like, hey, let's have some popcorn 983 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: and watch Schimdler's List. 984 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 3: Well, this is this is like how I feel about 985 00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 3: The Pianist p I A N I S T. To 986 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,399 Speaker 3: be clear, the pianist is a or the pianist maybe 987 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 3: some people. 988 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 2: Say it that way. 989 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 3: Is I think a perfect movie, meaning it is incredibly 990 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 3: well done, and every aspect of it, from the acting 991 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 3: to the writing, to the to this sound, you know, 992 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 3: to the soundtrack to the I think it's a perfect. 993 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:21,320 Speaker 2: Movie, but it's intense. 994 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,240 Speaker 3: It's World War Two, it's you know, it's a Jewish 995 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 3: guy who's trying to flee the you know the at 996 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 3: one point it's his neighbors and the Nazis. And The 997 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 3: Pianist is an incredible movie, but I can't say it's 998 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 3: my favorite movie because if the Dark Knight trilogy or 999 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 3: the Lord of the Rings movies are on, I'm watching 1000 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 3: those instead of The Pianist. I'm just I'm not gonna 1001 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 3: lie and be that guy, which brings me to I 1002 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 3: think they're private producer, Greg, what was your pick? 1003 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 2: You didn't give us.

You guys haven't watched Hacksaw Ridge, which 1014 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 3: is insane because that was I gave you that assignment 1015 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 3: a long time ago. 1016 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: That movie would be fair. To be fair to me. 1017 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: I barely see anything. I watch stuff with my kids, 1018 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 1: which is why I've been watching Harry Potter. 1019 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 3: I watch hundreds of hours of college football, hundreds of 1020 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 3: I was. 1021 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 1: Gonna say, and I watch a lot of sports. Let 1022 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,280 Speaker 1: me give you an underrated movie that I think seems 1023 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 1: even more contemporary than it was when it came out. 1024 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: Minority Report. 1025 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 2: Ah suck No. 1026 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: I'm telling you go back and watch it now. In 1027 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:58,400 Speaker 1: an age of AI, it seems eerily prescient in terms 1028 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: of its foreshadowing of where producer. 1029 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 2: Greg is gonna weigh in. 1030 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 3: He was a he wanted to get in on this, 1031 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 3: Producer Greg, best movie of the twenty first century. 1032 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 2: If you were making this New York Times list, what's 1033 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 2: number one? Dark Knight? 1034 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 3: I'm with, I'm with, Oh your Dark Knight got you? 1035 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 3: I thought I thought we had double Dark Knight. That's 1036 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,720 Speaker 3: a Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is the best 1037 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 3: bad guy performance that uh that I think you ca 1038 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,879 Speaker 3: it's that it's the No country for old men with 1039 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,720 Speaker 3: what's his name? Uh, you know Lvier Bardem, Javier Bardem 1040 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 3: and Hans Gruber in die Hard, which was the first 1041 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:35,440 Speaker 3: time that guy was. 1042 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,760 Speaker 2: Ever in a movie, which is still amazing, The Dark. 1043 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: Knight, knowing that Heath Ledger was going to in some 1044 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: way kill himself. Like I watch it now, and you're right, 1045 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: the performance is incredible, But when I watch it, in 1046 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: the back of my mind, I'm thinking, in order to 1047 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 1: become this good, he had to go to such a 1048 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: dark place and it felt to me like a lot 1049 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 1: of people who are actors and actresses, it's not actually 1050 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: that talented, you know what I mean, Like there are 1051 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: lots of people who are whatever. Heath Ledger, that was 1052 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: actually an artistic performance as the Joker, but I think 1053 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: it led him into a world where his brain like 1054 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: almost broke. 1055 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 5: You know. 1056 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 2: He went into the darkness, went into the darkness too much. 1057 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 3: That has happened with people that get too into a role, 1058 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 3: A lot of people very high in Because I saw 1059 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 3: a lot of comments about this because I was on 1060 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 3: I was on with Will Caine and Carol Markowitz on 1061 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,359 Speaker 3: Will's show on Fox Play and that's where this got 1062 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 3: some attention. A lot of people have as their top movies. 1063 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 3: I would say the ones that I saw the most. 1064 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 3: For all of you, all of you out there, I 1065 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 3: say the one that I saw the most. As a 1066 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 3: number one choice was either There Will Be Blood or 1067 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 3: No Country for Old Men for best Movie the twenty 1068 00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 3: first century. I view those as both excellent movies, but 1069 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,800 Speaker 3: it also goes in that category. There Will Be Blood 1070 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 3: for me is like watching a masterclass of acting. Like 1071 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 3: obviously Daniel d Lewis is phenomenal and the performances are. 1072 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 2: But do I care about anybody in this story? Really No? 1073 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 2: Do I like anybody? 1074 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 5: Really no? 1075 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 3: And then I think that unfortunately, No Country for Old 1076 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 3: Men again very well made, and I'm not saying it's 1077 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 3: not a good movie. I'm just saying, you know, if 1078 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 3: it's on, am I gonna watch it? It's so bleak 1079 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 3: and kind of nihilistic for me. So I can't get 1080 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,399 Speaker 3: too excited about either one of those as a top 1081 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 3: ten of the twenty first century. They're both excellent movies, 1082 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 3: to be clear, but they're not movies. I've only watched 1083 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,320 Speaker 3: each of those maybe twice, which for me is not 1084 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:43,839 Speaker 3: very many. 1085 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:48,919 Speaker 1: I also, to me, when it's a book being made 1086 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 1: into a movie, I think the excellence of the movie 1087 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: in many ways reflects the book. And Cormac McCarthy is 1088 00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,919 Speaker 1: probably the greatest author now I'm really gonna get people fired, 1089 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: probably the greatest author of the last thirty years. And 1090 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 1: I know he died a couple of years ago, but 1091 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: if you look at his production in terms of his talent, 1092 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: and you go all the way back, he moved eventually 1093 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 1: his fiction to basically the border with Texas and Mexico, 1094 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 1: but he started off as a Tennessee based writer, and 1095 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 1: I think he's probably the most talented writer in America 1096 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 1: in the last thirty years. And so No Country for 1097 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 1: Old Men is a novel by him, and I think 1098 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: it just reflects the world that he created on the 1099 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 1: screen and is actually an illustration of his excellence as 1100 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: a writer more than it is as a film. Does 1101 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: that make sense? Like if you said, hey, the Great Gatsby, 1102 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: which it isn't and it's been made multiple times, most 1103 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: recently with Leonardo DiCaprio, If you said The Great Gatsby 1104 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: is the best movie that's ever been made, I would 1105 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 1: be like, well, it a phenomenal novel, and so to me, 1106 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: I strip out anything that isn't an original movie as 1107 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,000 Speaker 1: a great movie. Does that make sense to us as 1108 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: a reflection of the of the book? 1109 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 3: More than one talkback here before we get into more 1110 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 3: talkbacks and calls to close us out.
