President 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: of El Salvador visiting right now the White House. I 17 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: believe the Ohio State University football team also is visiting 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: the White House to celebrate their national championship, So that 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: is underway as well, and I would imagine we'll have 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: some fun there. One serious conversation we just played the 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio response to CNN questions, we 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: will continue to run on anything having to be said 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: in those Oval Office meetings and the rapid process by 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: which the courts are trying to discover what they are 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: going to require when it comes to immigration policy from 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: the President. Last week we were Fox Business and CNBC 27 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: all rolled into one. Stock market closed strong and is 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: up so far on Monday a small amount. And for 29 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: those of you out there, I will continue to say 30 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: this who have decided to get obsessed by the stock market, 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: we are roughly at the exact same same price that 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: stocks were in September of twenty twenty four. So I've 33 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: been saying this for some time. If you did not 34 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: feel incredibly poor in September of twenty twenty four, wasn't 35 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: that long ago. If you did not feel incredibly poor 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty four, why would you feel 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: incredibly poor in April? Stock prices are the exact same 38 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: And in the past year, stock prices are up right 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: at six percent presently six point twenty five percent in 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the past year. Why do I bring that up? The 41 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: average return of the stock market in a year is 42 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: eight or nine percent, So basically in the past year, 43 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: stocks have done almost what stocks historically do on average. 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: So that is the latest there. Now I want to 45 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: hammer this because I do think this is a big story, 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: and we are actually very confident and consistent in the 47 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: way that we talk about everything surrounding these violent acts. 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: Last week I came on with you and I told you, 49 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: I guess it was two weeks ago. I came on 50 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: and I told you, Hey, I was at the president's 51 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: golf course in West Palm Beach, and it is a 52 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: level of negligence that I found to be incomprehensible that 53 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: he was nearly killed on the sixth hole of that 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: golf course. 55 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: They let a would be assassin sit. 56 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: For all day, and they only caught him at basically 57 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: the last possible moment before he would have been able 58 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: to kill the president. This came on the heels of 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: the Butler Pennsylvania attempt to kill the President, which came 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: within a quarter inch of succeeding. And now we have 61 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: of the governor of Pennsylvania while his family was home 62 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: in the house, nearly having his house burned down with 63 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: his entire family inside of it. And a lot of 64 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: people are going to focus on the motivations of the 65 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: crazy guy, and the motivations don't particularly appear to be logical, 66 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: as is often the case for crazy people, and leaving 67 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: aside what the motivations are, if you try to burn 68 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: down someone's home, it seems to me quite clear that 69 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: you are not a fan of the person living inside 70 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: the home, much as if you try to blow someone's 71 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: head off. 72 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: I don't need to. 73 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: Hear, Oh, we're not sure about what his political allegiances 74 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: might be. I think it's pretty clear that you're not 75 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: a fan of the person that you're trying to kill. 76 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: So how in the world are we allowing people in 77 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: politics to be put in this much peril, regardless of 78 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: what their political party is. This should be a major, 79 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: unbelievable embarrassment for the state of Pennsylvania that your governor 80 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: and his family could have nearly been burned to death, 81 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: and that someone could make it inside of the physical 82 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: residence and not have been captured while doing so. I 83 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: am I was stunned when I saw this story because 84 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that we would have a situation where 85 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: someone would be able to even do this. How are 86 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: we failing to protect people in positions of prominence all 87 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: over this country, regardless of what political party they're in. 88 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: This is frankly unacceptable. And if you remember Buck and 89 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: Eye talking about this on the program in the wake 90 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: of Butler, and then in the wake of the attempted 91 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: assassination at the golf course as well. Remember the guy 92 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: at the golf course got away, just like this guy 93 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: who tried to burn down the Governor's mansion. But the 94 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: guy at the West Palm Beach golf course got into 95 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: a car, drove away, and they found him an hour later, 96 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: only because a woman in the parking lot wrote down 97 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: his license plate as he was fleeing. So we were 98 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: close to a situation in West Palm Beach, even one 99 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: month after what happened on July thirteenth, where the president 100 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: could have been assassinated and his assassin could have gotten away. 101 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: And that just happened in Pennsylvania. How much of the 102 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: president being safe was just a lot of people thinking 103 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the Secret Service was far more comfident than they were. 104 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: And how in the world can this situation in Pennsylvania 105 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: have been allowed to happen. I just I saw this 106 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: story and I flat out could not believe that we 107 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: could have ever reached a situation where a governor's house 108 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: could be burned down basically and the guy could get away. 109 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: And here is the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, reacting 110 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: and saying what I think is actually one hundred percent true. 111 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Who cares where it's coming from. There's a profound moral 112 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: sickness that's going on that this is happening at all, 113 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: regardless of Democrat, Republican or independent Cut twenty one. 114 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 3: This type of violence is not okay. This kind of 115 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: violence is becoming far too common in our society, and 116 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: I don't give a damn if it's coming from one 117 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 3: particular side or the other, directed it one particular party 118 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: or another, or one particular person or another. It is 119 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: not okay, and it has to stop. 120 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: We have to be better than this. Amen. 121 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: I think he is one hundred percent right and this 122 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: should not be allowed to happen, and the fact that 123 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: it did. If I'm a Pennsylvanian, heck, I'm not a Pennsylvanian, 124 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: And I want to know how in the world was 125 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: your governor put in this kind of peril? And you ask, okay, 126 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: how does this happen? One reason why on this program 127 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: we try to avoid sharing the name of mass shooters 128 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: is because the data reflects that people who do this 129 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: are trying to become famous, and that the worst thing 130 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: you can do we unfortunately have not learned the lesson 131 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: of Columbine still yet is make these people famous because 132 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: they're demented, and many of them are trying to compete 133 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: to kill as many people as possible in an idea 134 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: of bathing in the infamy of the media coverage that 135 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: will follow. And this has happened with the killer in 136 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: New York's city of the United Healthcare CEO. And this 137 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: is a former Washington Post reporter on CNN saying, this 138 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: guy seems morally good the killer, which is hard to find. 139 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: I saw these two stories and I saw them directly 140 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: connected in my mind. You try to burn down the 141 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania governor's mansion, He asks, how in the world is 142 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: this happening? Well, one idea, how about we've lost the 143 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: ability to distinguish between good and evil in this country, 144 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: whether it's Israel getting attacked on October seventh, and a 145 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: lot of Americans, particularly young people, saying, oh, Israel's actually 146 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: the bad guy, or on the streets of New York 147 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: City in Manhattan. A cold blooded killer is now a 148 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: hero to some, including CNN, which aired this interview as 149 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: part of their misinformation investigation. Listen to cut nineteen. 150 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 4: To see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their 151 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 4: pearls about someone standing a murderer when this is this 152 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 4: is the United States of America. As if we don't 153 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: lionize criminals, as if we don't have you know, we 154 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: don't stand murderers of all sorts, and we give them 155 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 4: Netflix shows. There's a huge disconnect between the narratives and 156 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 4: angles of mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels. 157 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: And you see that in moments like this. So you're 158 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: gonna see women especially that feel like, oh my god, right, Like, 159 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 4: here's this man, who who's the revolutionary, who's famous, who's handsome, 160 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: who's young, who's smart, He's a person that seems as 161 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 4: like this morally good man, which is hard to find. 162 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: A morally good man, which is hard to find on CNN. 163 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: He killed an innocent dad and husband in cold blood 164 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: on a street in New York City. Team, can you 165 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: grab that little cut at the end and save that 166 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: because I want to play it again. 167 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: This is what happens. 168 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: When you lose the ability to distinguish between good and evil. 169 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: This is something big picture that troubles me tremendously in 170 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: the country right now. 171 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: When you lose the. 172 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: Ability to distinguish between good and evil, you're a country 173 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: that it is incredible danger. And I'm not talking about 174 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: good or evil as Hey, what should the top tax 175 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: rate be in America? Should it be thirty nine point 176 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: six percent or twenty six point eight percent. That's not 177 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: a good or evil argument, Teriff rates is not a 178 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: good or evil argument. The guy who committed cold blood 179 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: on the street is morally a good person. No, I'm sorry. 180 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a real flaw. But that's how you 181 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: get to Butler Pennsylvania and West Palm Beach assassination attempts 182 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: of Trump, and that's how you get to firebombing the 183 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: governor's mansion in Pennsylvania. We have lost as a society 184 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and we've 185 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: lost the ability to contextualize. That's how this ties in. 186 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I think as well. The play, the George Clooney play 187 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: that I saw demonizing Elon Musk suddenly because you don't 188 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: like his politics Oh, he's a hero of the left 189 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: when he creates electric vehicles. Oh he wants to help 190 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Trump get elected. Suddenly he's a Nazi. That's not accurate either, 191 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: But if you brand somebody as a Nazi, you create 192 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: a situation where people think they're going to be heroes 193 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: if they kill them. It's an inability to distinguish between 194 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: good and evil, and it's putting many people out there, 195 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: good people, honest people all over the country in a 196 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: perilous situation that they shouldn't be in. And it comes 197 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: from I believe, and in a bill I see it 198 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: directly connected to October seventh. Young people in this country 199 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: I think, for many reasons have lost the ability to 200 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: distinguish between good and evil. And CNN airing that good 201 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: man's hard to find and he seems morally pretty good. No, 202 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: I actually think there's a lot of guys who wouldn't 203 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: stand outside on the street corner and kill an innocent person, 204 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: shoot him in the back. I think that there's probably 205 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there that are seeingle that 206 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: pretty good guys that would manage not to. 207 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: Commit murder on a street corner. 208 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: Let you react to it in the meantime, Look, everybody 209 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: out there, you need more energy. 210 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: I need more energy. 211 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: Six to ten Amaturday, Sunday, seven straight days of work, 212 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot four hours television show Fox and Friends over 213 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the weekend.

We're talking 236 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: about the alionization of killers, the inability to tell the 237 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: difference between good and evil, and why I believe it's 238 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: helping to motivate what is clearly an increase in assassination 239 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: attempts of public officials, clearly Trump, but also Pennsylvania Governor 240 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Josh Shapiro. And I just want to play that cut 241 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: from CNN. They aired this talking about a guy who 242 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: killed an innocent dad in cold blood on the streets 243 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: of Manhattan. Here is how Taylor the Wrens, formerly of 244 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: The Washington Post, helping to create the era in which 245 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: we now live, described him. 246 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: You're going to see women, especially that feel like, oh 247 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 4: my god, right, Like, here's this man who who's the revolutionary, 248 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart. He's a 249 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 4: person that seems as like this morally good man, which 250 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 4: is hard to find. 251 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: Morally good man, which is hard to find that is 252 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: the world in which we are in, and also not 253 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: holding bad guys accountable. As I am talking to you 254 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: coming across my twitter feed, we talked a little bit 255 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: about the awful situation north of Dallas, Texas, where the 256 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: high school kid was stabbed in the heart over a 257 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: seating dispute. The judge in that case just reduced the 258 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: bond to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars from one 259 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: million dollars. The killer in that case, alleged killer, is 260 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: now going to be let out on house arrest and 261 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: be able to only have to wear an ankle monitor. 262 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond for 263 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: stabbing an innocent high school kid in the heart. You 264 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: don't even have to stay in jail. You're gonna get 265 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: let out again. An inability to distinguish good and evil 266 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: is a big picture issue that is massively dangerous to 267 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: this country. We'll talk about that a little bit when 268 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: we come back. And I also want to play you 269 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: on the positive side, something that reflects being willing to 270 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: talk to someone who you might disagree with. I give 271 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: credit to Bill Maher on HBO who talked about his 272 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: meeting with Donald Trump on his Friday show. Buck has 273 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: been on Bill Mahers Show recently. People got mad, remember 274 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: at what he said. We will play that for you. 275 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I want to tell you playoff season. 276 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: A lot of you love the Masters.

Welcome back in Clay, Travis Sexton Show. Appreciate 291 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us as we are 292 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: rolling through the Monday edition of the program. Wanted to 293 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: give credit to Bill Maher for being willing to go 294 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: actually meet with President Trump in person. He had a 295 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: dinner with Kid Rock at the in the White House 296 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: after I believe they went into the Oval Office as well. 297 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: And I want to play some of the cuts. 298 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: This is from Bill Maher's HBO show, and I think 299 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: what Bill maher is saying here is what many of 300 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: you have found in your experience is either listening to 301 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: Trump on this program or other programs over the last decade. 302 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: I believe the. 303 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: Number is that I have been involved in interviewing Trump, 304 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: either by myself or with Buck Now eleven times, and 305 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: so I feel like I know Trump fairly well at 306 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: this point. We've talked to him for hours on this 307 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: program during the course of the last four years. And 308 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: what Bill maher is saying is what I have found 309 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: to be true of Trump in private. He's an incredibly likable, 310 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: charismatic guy who frankly feels kind of like a grandpa 311 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: when I have been around him. And let's listen to 312 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: a couple of these cuts. He also has, and I 313 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: think this is important, A pretty good sense of humor. 314 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: He's actually very, very funny, and most of his critics 315 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: don't get it. Here's Bill Maher saying he showed up 316 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: with a list of insults that Trump had called him, 317 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: and Trump autographed it for him, which is incredible. Listened 318 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: to cut fifteen. 319 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 6: Before I left for the Capitol. I had my staff 320 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 6: collect and print out this list of almost sixteen different 321 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 6: insulting epithets that the President has said about me, things 322 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 6: like stupid, dummy, low life, dummy, sleeves, bag, sick said, 323 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 6: stone cold crazy, really a dumb guy, heard like a dog. 324 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: His show is dead its sixty. I brought this to the. 325 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 6: White House because I wanted him to sign it, which 326 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 6: he did, which. 327 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 2: He did with good humor. 328 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: All right, I mean, this is how it should be. 329 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: I talked about the Taylor Lorenz. Oh he's a morally 330 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: good man. That's not how it should be. How it 331 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: should be is people can disagree, sometimes they might even 332 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: say mean things, but when they meet face to face 333 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: they behave like adults. And most of the time I 334 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: have found when you meet someone face to face, you 335 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: are more likely to like them, particularly when it's someone 336 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump that is actually very likable. We've said 337 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: on this program for a long time. Look, you can 338 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: disagree with his policies. I am one hundred percent of 339 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: the opinion that you can look at Trump's policies and 340 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 1: you can say I hate the terrify ideas. You can say, hey, 341 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: I think we should have free and wide open borders. 342 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: You can say police are too empowered, or he's taking 343 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: too much executive authority. I don't agree with those arguments, 344 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: but I think you can make those arguments and be 345 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: a rational, normal human being. What you can't say is 346 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: he's Hitler. He's not in any way remotely similar to 347 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler. Disagree with his policies, attacking him personally is absurd. 348 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: And what I have said for some time is, and 349 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: I bet what Bill Maher now recognizes. Trump is an 350 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: energy person. Whatever energy you give to him, he gives 351 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: back to you ten x. So if you are favorable 352 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: and kind, he's going to be ten times as favorable 353 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: and ten times as kind to you. If you are unfavorable, uncharitable, cruel, mean, 354 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: he's going to give that back to you ten x. 355 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: Whatever you give Trump gives back ten x. That's the 356 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: lesson that everybody should have learned by now, and actually 357 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: face to face, he tends to be really good. I've 358 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: said this before I met Trump for the first time 359 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: in person in October of twenty twenty. I took my 360 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: wife and at the time oldest son, who was I 361 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: believe in seventh grade. Trump was unbelievable with him, unbelievable 362 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: with my seventh grader in the Oval Office the time 363 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: he spent with him, he was just a fabulous, grandfatherly 364 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: like figure. My wife, like a lot of women, was 365 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: not a huge fan of Donald Trump before she met him. 366 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: After meeting him in the Oval Office, since she's met 367 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: him a couple of times since, she loves him. He 368 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: is really incredible face to face one on one, not 369 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: only with the people there, but with kids. Really really 370 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: good with kids. He's met all of my sons, by 371 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: the way, they were more interested in meeting mister Beast 372 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: than the President. No offense to the President, but he's 373 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: met all of my kids. Fabulous with all of them, 374 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: just like a good grandpa would be. And I bet 375 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: if you had the good fortune to get to meet 376 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: the President and you got to meet him with your 377 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: kids or with your grandkids, he would be phenomenal with them, 378 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: and this is what Bill Maher is saying. Bill Maher 379 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: like kind of built this mountain of Trump as an 380 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: awful person based on public persona, and then he had 381 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: to go out and tell his audience on Friday, Actually, 382 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: we had a phenomenal dinner and Trump was incredible. Here 383 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: is Bill Maher on meeting Trump. Cut sixteen. 384 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 7: He laughs just for starters, he laughs. I've never seen 385 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 7: him laugh in public, but he does including it himself, 386 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 7: and it's not fake. Believe me, as a comedian of 387 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 7: forty years, I know a fake laugh when I hear it. Okay, example, 388 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 7: in the Oval office, he was showing me the portraits 389 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 7: of presidents and he pointed to Reagan and said, in 390 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 7: all seriousness, you know the best thing about. 391 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: Him his hair. 392 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 6: I said, well, there was also that whole bringing down 393 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 6: communism thing. Waiting for the button next to the diet 394 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 6: coke button to get pushed and. 395 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: I go through the trap door. 396 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 7: But no, he laughed. 397 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 2: He got it. 398 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: He has a really good sense of humor. He's also 399 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: insanely self aware. Some of you may have seen me 400 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: on Fox and Friends over the weekend. I'll take feedback. 401 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: By the way, eight hundred two two eight A two. 402 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what my mom said in a moment. 403 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: But I said this because we were playing some of 404 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: the cuts from the moment. Jimmy Fallon allowed himself to 405 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: get bullied for humanizing Trump. Every comedian by and large 406 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: was terrified of the general public, and they refuse to 407 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: treat Trump like a normal human being. It's actually incredibly 408 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: unfortunate because if you go back and watch Trump on 409 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live, he has a great sense of humor. 410 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: I think Trump would have been really good on Jimmy Kimmel. 411 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: I think he would have been really good with Fallin. 412 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: I think he would have been really good with Stephen 413 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: Colbert and on Saturday Night Live, because unlike a lot 414 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: of politicians, he actually has a good sense of humor 415 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: about himself. And I have made this argument for a 416 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: long time on the dictator front. Dictators don't have good 417 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: senses of humor because humor requires a knowledge and nuance 418 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: of how. 419 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 2: You are seen in the world that is at large. 420 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: And that's why dictators require complete obsequiousness. They require that 421 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: you basically been the need to them all the time, 422 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: that you genuine flecked at their photo that's hanging on 423 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: the wall at their portrait, because they have to be 424 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: seen as larger than you, more important than you, and 425 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: comedy cuts everybody down to size. This is why having 426 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: kids important in many ways. I think kids tell. 427 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: You exactly what they think. 428 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: Kids and old people, super old people, they are like, 429 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't give a heck anymore. Super young kids they 430 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: don't have the filters built in to say what they think. 431 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: I remember. I mean, there's tons of things that kids 432 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: will say. But I remember my three year old got 433 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: me good about seven years ago, the youngest at that time. 434 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: We were playing. He said, Dad, he said, yeah, said, 435 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: you have old hands. I never thought about my hands 436 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: in my entire life, holding them up now for you 437 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: on video. I was like, what do you mean. He's like, 438 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: they're wrinkly, they're like old man hands. And I was like, 439 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: I'd never even thought about what my hands looked like before. 440 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: I didn't think I was George Costanza hand model. But 441 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: my three year old is like, you know, like, hey, Dad, 442 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: you know you're not a super young guy anymore. You 443 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: got old guy hands. And it's that puncturing, right, And 444 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 1: I'll play you a cut and a little bit of 445 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: Trump on Air Force one after he was at the 446 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: UFC three fourteen with Kai Trump, his granddaughter. The grandkids 447 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: make fun of him. That's healthy. Yeah, he's the President 448 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: of the United States, but he's also grandpa and grandma, 449 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: and he and Milania, and so they have normal human interactions. 450 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't imagine that Kim Jong un has very many 451 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: normal interactions. I frankly don't imagine that Vladimir Putin has 452 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: very many normal human interactions. Maybe I'm wrong, but this 453 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: is what Bill Maher was getting at here. Also, he 454 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: says Trump was gracious and measured, and his audience is 455 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: hearing what is the truth. But much like when I 456 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: was talking about earlier with George Clooney and the play, 457 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: they aren't able to see the larger perspective because many 458 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: of them have bought into the idea that he's Hitler. 459 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: Listen to cut fourteen. 460 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 6: He said, you know, I've heard from a lot of 461 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 6: people who really liked that we're having this dinner. 462 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: Not all, but a lot. 463 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 6: And I said same. A lot of people told me 464 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 6: they loved it, but not all, and we agreed. The 465 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 6: people who don't even want us to. 466 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 8: Talk, we don't like you don't talk as opposed to 467 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 8: what writing the same editorial for the millionth time and 468 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 8: making twenty five hour speeches into the wind. 469 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 6: Okay, that's my report. You can hate me for it, 470 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 6: but I'm not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured. 471 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 6: And why he isn't that in other settings I don't know, 472 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 6: and I can't answer, and it's not my place to answer. 473 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 6: I'm just telling you what I saw, and I wasn't high. 474 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: It's great and that audience. Again, I encourage as many 475 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 1: of these outreaches as Trump can do. I think if 476 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: you meet him face to face, the caricature that you 477 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: have built in your mind on the left is not 478 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: represented by the man that you will meet. I guarantee 479 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: you that. And we have a tendency in this world, 480 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: and I try to be conscious of it in the 481 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: way that I talk to to build twenty foot tall 482 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: caricatures of people that are just a few inches deep. 483 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: In other words, when. 484 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: You walk up to it, it's like you can punch 485 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: through it and it's paper mache. It looks like this 486 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: huge statue. Oh my goodness, look at this. This is 487 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,719 Speaker 1: twenty feet tall. You can't miss it. And then when 488 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: you're actually confronted with it, you realize there's no depth 489 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: to it. You can punch right through it, and you 490 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: see the real person on the other side. Now, some 491 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: people are fake. Many politicians, I would say, are fake 492 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: because they're desperate to make you like them. They feel 493 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: like if they pretend to be something, that you will 494 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: like them. Trump is not that. It's why he wasn't 495 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: a professional politician. He is just himself, for better or worse. 496 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: And I think the reason why he had so much 497 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: more support by twenty twenty four is a lot of 498 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: people saw what Bill Maher did, which is that twenty 499 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: foot caricature that the legacy media were telling you that 500 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: he's Adolf Hitler, that he's got the Hitler mustache, that 501 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna. 502 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: It's not real. 503 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't in any way accurate. And meanwhile, the twenty 504 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: foot caricature that they tried to create of Joe Biden, 505 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: which was incredibly beneficial, when you got up close to it, 506 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: you saw that that was all fake too. And I've 507 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: said in my new book that I'm writing, I think 508 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: this gets to the essence of it. Authenticity ends, cancel culture. 509 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: When you are the authentic version of yourself, for better 510 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: or worse. You can't be canceled in public anymore because 511 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: people are over it now. If you lie, if you 512 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: are fake, if you are not honest with your audience, 513 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: then you can be canceled. And I'll give you an 514 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: example that just as historic. Why did Bill Clinton keep 515 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: his job after he had an affair with an intern. 516 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 2: In the Oval office? 517 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton slept with an intern. Now you can say, Okay, 518 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: well that was nineteen ninety six, nineteen ninety seven, it's 519 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: a different era, and I. 520 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 2: Think that's true. 521 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: But the reason why I think he kept his job 522 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: was because, deep down, a lot of people kind of 523 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: thought that that was something that Bill Clinton might do. 524 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: You didn't really think, oh, this is a guy who's 525 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: completely committed to his wife. You didn't think Bill and 526 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, this is the greatest couple of our lives. 527 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: You kind of thought Bill Clinton not really that much 528 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: into Hillary Clinton's probably gonna sleep with somebody else while 529 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: he's president. I think if George W. Bush had done, 530 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: it might have cost him his job. I think if 531 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: Barack Obama had done, it might have cost him his job. 532 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: But Bill Clinton, it actually reflected in some way what 533 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: we anticipated and believed about him. I think Clinton was 534 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: authentically himself. I think Al Gore, who tried to replace him, wasn't. 535 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: I think George W. Bush was. Trump is what you 536 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: would think he is if you are honest and have 537 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: been seeing all of the coverage surrounding him. I think 538 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: what Bill Maher experienced, it's what I've experienced, It's what 539 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: Buck experienced, It's what most of you would experience. If 540 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: you had the opportunity to meet Trump, and if you 541 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: took your kids or grandkids to meet Trump too, I'm 542 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: telling you you would really like him and he. 543 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 2: Would be fabulous with you. 544 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: That, I believe is one reason that he's been so 545 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: successful as a politician. 546 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 2: He's actually just kind of a likable guy. 547 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: And if you remember before he got into politics, that 548 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: was his reputation. 549 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 2: A little bit of a bragger, a little bit in 550 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: love with himself. Yeah, you can. 551 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: Say that about Trump. I was just playing one of 552 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: the West Palm Beach and he had framed that he 553 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: was one of the richest people in the world. In 554 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: the locker room, all the different paintings and pictures hanging 555 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: on the wall. I think a lot of rich people 556 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't frame the magazine cover that called them one 557 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: of the richest people in the world and hang it 558 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: up in their locker room. But that's Trump, and I 559 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: think the reason why he's having so much more success 560 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: in this second term is more and more people are 561 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: like Bill Maher finding out what the truth is. Look 562 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 1: tax filing deadline for the IRS. Good for him for meeting, 563 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: Good for Trump for meeting.
