1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: hope all of you are ready for the weekend and

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to hanging out with me as we roll

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: into the weekend with three fun hours. Buck in New

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: York City celebrating his dad's birthday. Happy birthday to Papa Sexton. Also,

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: I meant to say producer Ali's birthday was yesterday and

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention it on the show. So birthdays

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: abound everywhere, and we hope you guys are ready to

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: have some fun with us. Trump has hopped onto Air

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Force one and is now on his way to Scotland

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: to visit several of his properties over there, predominantly golf courses.

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: He addressed the media as he left the White House

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: and made a lot of news after yesterday's show. He

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: also toured the site of the FED construction that they

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: are spending a couple of billion dollars three billion dollars

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: actually on, and met with Jerome Powell face to face,

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: where he made the case that they needed to lower

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: the interest rates, which by the way, Trump is correct about.

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: We will dive into all of that, but we begin

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: with something that we told you early this week, and

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: I didn't hear very many other people out there saying it.

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: But when a lot of people were saying, Oh Obama's

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: going to be arrested, Oh He's going to be purp walked,

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: we got the twenty sixteen intelligence briefings that prove Obama

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: committed a crime. I told you, Look the Supreme Court

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: ruling that said Trump had the power as president to

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: act as he did in twenty twenty and could not

28
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: be charged criminally as a result those expansive presidential powers.

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court held six to three in Trump's favor.

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: We told you that that ruling was likely to come.

31
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: It now has come. And guess what. It applies to

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. It applies to Barack Obama, It applies to

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: George W. Bush, It applies to Donald Trump, any living president,

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: any current president, any future president. And Trump was actually

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: asked about that, given the revelations from Tulci Gabbard. He said, Hey, look,

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: Obama owes me big because he's probably protected by the

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: same ruling. Let me play that cut. Trump just said

38
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: this a little bit ago.

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: Listen, how do you think that the Supreme Court ruling

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: that bennettited you on presidential immunity would apply to former

41
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: President Barack Obama and what you're accusing him of doing.

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: It probably helps him a lot, probably helps him a.

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: Lot of the immunity ruling.

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 5: But it doesn't help the people around.

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: Him at all.

46
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 6: But it probably helps him a lot.

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: He's done criminal acts, there's no question about it.

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 7: But he has immunity and.

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: It probably helps them.

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: Alig he owes me a big.

51
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: Obama owes me big. Obama owes me big.

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: That is Trump talking about the situation there where Obama's

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: now protected, likely by the larger ruling that the Supreme

54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Court made on presidential privilege. And we told you back

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: when this ruling came down you may not like it

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: at some point in the future. It reminds me of

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell when they changed the filibuster rules for the

58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, saying, hey, you may not like the results,

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: and it may happen sooner than you think. There you

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: go the benefit sometimes of precedents set by the Supreme Court.

61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: You think, oh, this is great, and then there's another

62
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: situation that comes down the road and the president is

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: applied evenly, whether Democrat or Republican or frankly independent, or

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Whig or Tory or whatever future parties may exist in

65
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the years, decades, hundreds of years into the future. In

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the United States, the Supreme Court ruling will apply to

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: every president when it comes to the president having the

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: powers to exercise the prerogative of the presidency without worrying

69
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: about being charged with criminal related incidents going forward. And

70
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: so I would say in general, this week, if you

71
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: look at the entirety of the week, has largely been

72
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: characterized by revelations relating to the twenty sixteen intelligence communities

73
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: attempt to create the Russia Gate fervor and ongoing discussion

74
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: surrounding the Epstein files and what has been uncovered there.

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: This morning, as part of my prep, as I always do,

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: I read the New York Times. There is a huge,

77
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: multi thousand word piece in the New York Times that

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: goes into the review of all of the Epstein files

79
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: by the Department of Justice under Trump and the fact

80
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: that frankly, they haven't been able to find anything, and

81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: about how frustrated that made Pambondi and Dan Bongino and

82
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Cash Patel, who desperately wanted to find people that they

83
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: could charge based on the informa that was inside of

84
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: those files, and according to that New York Times report,

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: there just isn't anything there. Doesn't mean that there might

86
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: not have been in the past. Ninety percent of people

87
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: out there believe that these files should be released.

88
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: Again.

89
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Their challenges because some of these people are victims. But

90
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: I suspect that they're going to try to release everything

91
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: that they can, and there's just not going to be

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: much there. Julane Maxwell interviewed yesterday by the Deputy ag

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: to see if she knew anything else. One thing that

94
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I think I have not done a good job talking

95
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: with you guys about from the Epstein perspective is, remember

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: that there were hundreds of millions of dollars paid out

97
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: to the alleged Epstein victims by his estate, by all

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: these other different large investment banks that also had interactions

99
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: and dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. In other words, people say, well,

100
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: what happened to all the victims, Well, a lot of

101
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: those victims came forward, raised their hand, remained anonymous, but said, hey,

102
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: we are a part of this class action lawsuit alleging

103
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: that we were mistreated by Jeffrey Epstein and Julaane Maxwell

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: and many of those women. They got paid hundreds of

105
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: millions of dollars by Epstein's estate. It doesn't get talked

106
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: about very much, but there were hundreds of millions of

107
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: dollars paid out to those victims of Epstein and Julaane Maxwell.

108
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: And I do think that that has kind of slid

109
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: under the radar and it hasn't gotten that much attention.

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: But people said, well, what happened to all these victims.

111
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: A lot of them came forward and said, hey, this

112
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: was what was done to me, And we are filing

113
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: a class action lawsuit civilly seeking damages from Jeffrey Epstein's

114
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: estate in the wake of his death and the estate

115
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: team in New York. Maybe you can look out and

116
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: see if there's a full dollar value, but I know

117
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: they paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in claims

118
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: against individuals who purport that they were mistreated. So again,

119
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: two different scandals to me, and I asked this question.

120
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I asked you guys earlier this week, Hey, which do

121
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: you think is the bigger story, Epstein or the Epstein

122
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: fallout or Russia Gate? And overwhelmingly you guys said Russia Gate.

123
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: And also I gave a third option in that poll,

124
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: and the third option was I don't care about any

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: of this, just get my costs down. In other words,

126
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm just focused on the economy, and it actually outrated

127
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the Epstein drama as well. In other words, the majority

128
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: of you said Russia Gate's a really, really big story.

129
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: That was the winner of the poll. Second place was

130
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't care about any of this, just get my

131
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: costs down, and then third was Epstein. But I would

132
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: say we basically have dueling controversies, for lack of a

133
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: better way to describe it, with the Russia Gate, which

134
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: I believe is actually a huge story, the Russia Gate hoax,

135
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: and then also the fallout of Epstein, all taking place simultaneously,

136
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: And of course Democrats are saying, well, this is just

137
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Trump's desire to distract from the Epstein related cases. But

138
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: I actually don't think that's true. I think that what

139
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: happened with Russia has been an obsession of Trump's for

140
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: a long time, And in particular, I wanted to play

141
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: some of this because these are flashbacks, and I know

142
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: some of you remember it, but remember what happened the

143
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: first time Trump met with Putin and what the reaction

144
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: was as the media had bought into the idea that

145
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Trump was a Manchurian candidate. I want to play a

146
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: couple of these cuts. Here's cut seven, Chris Cuomo back

147
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: when he was still on CNN screaming about President Trump

148
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: and the Russia hoax to his audience. This was in

149
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Some of you will remember it. This is

150
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: what Trump one point zero was dealing with all lies.

151
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: Cut seven.

152
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 8: The world witnessed to betrayal the likes of which we've

153
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 8: never seen. America's president sided with its enemy. Today, shack

154
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 8: has turned to a national shunning as America finds unity

155
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 8: in President Trump's perfidy. It was the simplest of all

156
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 8: questions regarding Russia's attacks on our democracy.

157
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 5: Did it happen?

158
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: So?

159
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: I have great confidence in my intelligence people, But I

160
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and

161
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: powerful in his denial.

162
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 8: Today, that was the President of the United States answer,

163
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 8: a kick in the groin to his counterintelligence men and women,

164
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 8: to his country, and most to the truth. With the

165
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 8: world watching, the leader of the free world sided with

166
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 8: the man who directly ordered a sophisticated attack on America's

167
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 8: electoral system. End of discussion. That's what happened. Russia did it.

168
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: All.

169
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: That's false.

170
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: And remember CNN cut away from Tulci Gabbard when she

171
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: was laying out the fact that the intelligence agencies manufactured

172
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: this great Russia hoax as a way to delegitimize the

173
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Trump presidency. They're still not allowing their audience to understand

174
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: what actually happened. Again, this is another flashback. I think

175
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: it's important to remember the unbelievable historyonics that were at

176
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: play here.

177
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 5: Cut eight.

178
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said it was the

179
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: most tragic day in the history of the presidency when

180
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: Trump said, Hey, I'm not really convinced that Russia was

181
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: rigging our election.

182
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 5: Cut eight.

183
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 9: This is probably the most tragic day in the history

184
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 9: of the presidency.

185
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 5: So what do we do now?

186
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 8: I mean, what is the rule book for when a

187
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 8: president betrays his own country and with an enemy.

188
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 9: So I think it's up to the American people to

189
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 9: make clear that we will not tolerate a president who

190
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 9: does not defend the United States of America. Probably the

191
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 9: worst cyber attack against the United States to undermine our

192
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 9: election system. These are bad people, they're bad guys. They're

193
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 9: the enemy. They're the adversary.

194
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Okay, the most tragic day in the history of the presidency,

195
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Leanne Panetta, remember a thing called Ford's Theater. John Wilkes

196
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Booth shooting Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head

197
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: feels like a pretty tragic day for the presidency. Fdr

198
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: dies in office in the middle of World War Two,

199
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: near the end of World War two, feels like a

200
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: pretty tragic day in the history of the presidency.

201
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: There it's how about.

202
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: When the how about when the British burned down the

203
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: White House? Feels like kind of a tragic day in

204
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: the history of the presidency. The degree of line that

205
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: was built around this Russian disinformation campaign, Russia could have

206
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: never dreamed of having America's own institutions turn on America

207
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: to the degree that it did to try to tear

208
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: down Donald Trump. And so I don't blame Trump, who

209
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: spent four years basically screaming into the wind, there's nothing

210
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: to this. I won, and they just can't figure out

211
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: how Hillary lost. And now, to her credit, Tulca Gabbert

212
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: lays out in a calculated fashion exactly what went on

213
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: inside of the intelligence agencies and demonstrates that this Russia

214
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: hoax happened. Now a lot of you out there are

215
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: throwing up your hands and saying, what's going to happen.

216
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: That's the challenge. And I think to his credit, Trump

217
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: even acknowledged basically nothing can happen to Obama. I think

218
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to charge him with anything. And I

219
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: think it's also very hard to charge others because the

220
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: time has passed to such an extent.

221
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 5: Now. I do think lee.

222
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: Of these intelligence documents that the Washington Post, in the

223
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: New York Times, among other among others used as their

224
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: method to win Pulitzer prizes, and see this idea that

225
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: this untruth was in fact a truth. I do think

226
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: there should be consequences there, and at an absolute minimum,

227
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I think this is very significant because it's correcting the

228
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: historic record and making people slowly aware of exactly what

229
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: went on. I will take your calls. You guys can

230
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: react to all of this. We've got a ton as

231
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: we roll through the program. No guest scheduled right now

232
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: two A two two eight eight two. That's eight hundred

233
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: and two A two two eight A two. We can

234
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: also have some fun if you've got talkbacks and you

235
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: want to weigh in on anything that happened all week long.

236
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: We will play some of those as well. In the meantime,

237
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: uncertainty almost always causes a reaction, particularly in our markets,

238
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: and right now there's uncertainty about the value of the dollar,

239
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: about how much inflation there is going to be. And

240
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: in times of uncertainty, people sometimes race to hard physical

241
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: assets like gold. It's been true throughout all the millennium,

242
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: throughout all the annals of finance, people like the tangible

243
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: value of gold. Birch Gold can make owning physical gold

Speaker 10: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

265
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 5: Clay, have you heard of the Rio Reset? Sounds like

266
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: a trendy new workout Buck, It.

267
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 11: Does, but it's actually a big summit going on in Brazil.

268
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 11: The formal name is BRICKS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India,

269
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 11: China and South Africa. But they've just added five new members.

270
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Smart move to stick with Bricks. We know what happens

271
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: when acronyms don't end. They confuse everyone.

272
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 11: Well, that's an understatement. Bricks is a group of emerging

273
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 11: economies hoping to increase their sway in the global financial order.

274
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 5: Now that sounds like the plot line of a movie.

275
00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 5: I'm listening.

276
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 11: Phillip Patrick is R Bruce Wayne he's a precious metal

277
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 11: specialist and a spokesman for the Birch Gold Group. He's

278
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 11: on the ground in Rio getting the whole low down

279
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 11: on what's going on there.

280
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 5: Can he give us some inside intel.

281
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 11: Absolutely, he's been there since day one. In fact, a

282
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 11: major theme at the summit is how bricks nations aim

283
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 11: to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade.

284
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: Yikes, that doesn't sound good. We got to get Philip

285
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: on the line.

286
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 11: Stat already did and he left the Clay and Buck

287
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 11: audience this message.

288
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 12: The world is moving on from the dollar quietly but steadily.

289
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 12: These nations are making real progress towards reshaping global trade,

290
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 12: and the US dollar is no longer the centerpiece. That

291
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 12: shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake, it's already begun.

292
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 11: Thank you, Philip. Protect the value of your savings account,

293
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,240

00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 11: by purchasing gold and placing it into those accounts and

295
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 11: reducing your exposure to a declining dollar value. Text my name,

296
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,160

300
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 11: give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

301
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 11: One more time, text my name Buck to ninety eight

302
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 11: ninety eight ninety eight.

303
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: Ayby taken the first trip with the baby. He did

304
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: not cry on the airplane, which is good for Buck

305
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: because at some point we're gonna have to pull back

306
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: up the audio of Buck talking about how baby should

307
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: never cry on airplanes. I think it was like the

308
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: first year that we were together, before he was married,

309
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: before he had a kid of his own. Now his

310
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: baby has so far been very good on an airplane.

311
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: But I told him, I test. I was like, dude,

312
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: at some point, every one of my kids has thrown

313
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: up on me on an airplane, all three of them,

314
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: and at different times when they were young. And I

315
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: told him, at some point, the wheels are gonna come off,

316
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: and you're gonna come on, You're gonna tell me about it,

317
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pull the audio of you talking about

318
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why the parents just don't stop that.

319
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: Baby from crying. What's the deal. Just tell the baby

320
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 5: to stop crying.

321
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: So so far, baby boy Sexton has not cried on

322
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: the airplane. But I'm telling you this is coming We've

323
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: been talking about the fallout of Russia Gate, also the

324
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: continued discussion surrounding the Epstein files and everything going on there,

325
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: and we've got a ton of you that want to

326
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: weigh in. But I do want to go back to

327
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: something that I said yesterday because I think it actually

328
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: goes to the root of how all of this started.

329
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 13: You ever go.

330
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: Back to the root of things and say, how do

331
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: we ever get in this mess to start with? I

332
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: think it's super instructive. It reminds me of my golf game.

333
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't play golf that often, but what I love

334
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: about golf is you have to constantly follow what you

335
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: did before, and that, to me is why golf is

336
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: a perfect distillation of life. If you hit a bad shot,

337
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: you have to deal with the consequences of the bad shot.

338
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: And trust me, I deal with the consequences of a

339
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: lot of bad shots in my golf game. When you

340
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: shank a shot off to the right and you're in

341
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: the trees, presuming that you are playing golf as it

342
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: is intended to get play, sometimes you don't. You don't

343
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: get to pick the ball up and throw it back

344
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: into the center of the fairway. You have to play

345
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: the ball where it lies. You have to deal with

346
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: a really difficult second shot, and sometimes you get the

347
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: choice to make. Do you try to hit a hero

348
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: shot on that second shot or do you take your

349
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: medicine and just knock it back in the fairway and

350
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: be prepared for the third.

351
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 5: And I understand some of you don't.

352
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Play golf, but I think the metaphor of life and

353
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: golf interplays very well. And if you finish the round,

354
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: you go back and you can say, boy, where did

355
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: my game really go fall apart something? It may be

356
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: like you just stink a golf and that's me, and

357
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: so there's no one thing that you did wrong. But

358
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're a really good golfer, you can go back

359
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: and you can say, boy, on it eight, I really

360
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: had the wrong club there. I didn't factor in the wind,

361
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: and that's when my round kind of fell apart and

362
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: I never really came back from it. I think about

363
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: this as it pertains to Russia Gate, and I think

364
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: this is so important. Why did Russia Gate happen? Because

365
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Democrats couldn't figure out how Trump won. They thought Hillary

366
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: was a shoe in. They wanted to shatter the glass ceiling.

367
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: They wanted all of the balloons to come falling, and

368
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: they couldn't comprehend that they lost to Trump. This reality

369
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: television show guy, what in their mind, thoroughly unserious candidate.

370
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it this week and I came

371
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: up with an analogy that some of you may think

372
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: is crazy, but others of you you're gonna be like,

373
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, I totally see it. Tom Brady

374
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in the history of the NFL. Now,

375
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: some of you may be out there, die hard cold

376
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: to Broncos fans. You might be arguing Peyton Manning. Some

377
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: of you are Kansas City Chiefs fans. You may argue

378
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes. But I want to take you back

379
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: to the inception of Tom Brady for a moment. In

380
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, Tom Brady won his first Super

381
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Bowl and they beat Rushes, heavily favored at the time,

382
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: still in Saint Louis Rams football team. Some of you

383
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: are going to remember that game and a lot of

384
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: people said, how in the world did this happen? How

385
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: did Kurt Warner NFL MVP, probably the best quarterback in

386
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: the NFL at that point in time. Greatest show on turf,

387
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: best offense. The Rams were a huge favorite in that

388
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: game to win their second straight Super Bowl, or nearly

389
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: the second straight Super Bowl, and instead they lost, and

390
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: everybody said, how in the world did this happen? How

391
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: did the Rams who were so good? Kurt Warner throws

392
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards. I was actually during the

393
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: commercial break, I was looking up the stats on this

394
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: game because I thought it was interesting. And Kurt Warner

395
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: threw for over three hundred yards. Tom Brady didn't do

396
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: hardly anything. Kurt Warner three hundred and sixty five yards passing,

397
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady one hundred and forty five yards passing. It

398
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: was a big difference in numbers. People said, man, this

399
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: is a huge upset. I don't know how this happened.

400
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: How did Tom Brady beat Kurt Warner. Well, then come

401
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: to find out, actually, Tom Brady's one of the greatest

402
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: of all time, and he would go on and he

403
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: would win six more Super Bowls, play in ten total

404
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, And in retrospect, you go back and you

405
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: look at that two thousand and two Super Bowl and

406
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: you say, boy, that was just the first sign that

407
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: this guy was built different. And over time everybody came

408
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: to see, Oh, yeah, Kurt Warner, he's a good quarterback,

409
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: but Brady was different. I would submit to you that

410
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election, a lot of people didn't get

411
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: yet that Donald Trump was built different. And so in

412
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: the immediate aftermath, they're saying, boy, Hillary Clinton, she's Kurt Warner,

413
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: she's the rams, she's the favorite, she should never lose

414
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: this election. And the original sin of all of Russia

415
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Gate was a disbelief in Donald Trump's innate political gifts.

416
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: Think about where we are right now. I loved watching

417
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady when he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

418
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: because I knew we didn't have a lot of time

419
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: left with Tom Brady, and I just wanted to celebrate

420
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: his career. I feel that way about Trump right now.

421
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: People are climbing all over attacking him and everything else.

422
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: But the reason Russia Gate happened was because Democrats hadn't

423
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: seen yet that Trump was built different. I think the

424
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: best president since Reagan on the Republican side, generational political talent,

425
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: and so much like when Brady won that first Super Bowl,

426
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: they didn't know what was to come. They went back

427
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: and they said something had to happen other than just

428
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: Trump being the politician that he is, the political talent

429
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: that he is. They thought that he was just a

430
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: total schmuck, and so they said something had to happen

431
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: here way that Hillary really lost this election to that guy.

432
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: There's no way. Kurt Warner just lost the Super Bowl

433
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady. And now as we sit in twenty

434
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, I am telling you we are rapidly accelerating

435
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: towards instead of being Hitler.

436
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 5: Soon you're gonna start here.

437
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Democrats acknowledge Trump is actually the greatest political talent of

438
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: the Republican Party in two generations. They're gonna pivot really

439
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: quickly from the guy's Hitler to They're never gonna be

440
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: able to replicate what this guy is capable of. Why

441
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: do I bring all this to bear? Don't take for

442
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: granted the immense, incredible good fortune that we have with

443
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in office right now, because he's not perfect.

444
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: I think there is an element out there, and I

445
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: think the Epstein case is a part of it where

446
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: we have I think the greatest six months that we

447
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: have ever seen in my life of a president doing

448
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: exactly what he said he was going to do. Economy,

449
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: border crime. He could not have delivered better than he has.

450
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: And we have an innate tendency to decide to fixate

451
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: on the one thing that's not perfect, the two things

452
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: that aren't exactly what we would have done if we

453
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: were in that position, and not enjoy and appreciate the

454
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: good fortune that we actually find ourselves in right now.

455
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: And I think Democrats, if you go back and look

456
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: at the origination of why Russia Gate happened, it was

457
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: simply because they couldn't comprehend that Trump was as good

458
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: of a political thoroughbred as he was.

459
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 5: Now.

460
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: Look, I decided, and some of you are gonna be

461
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: upset about this. I decided once and for all when

462
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: Trump took a bullet that I was not going to

463
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: take him for granted. When he got his ear clipped,

464
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: I said, I will run through a wall for this guy.

465
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: I have got his back for this entire term. Doesn't

466
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: mean he's going to be perfect, doesn't mean that we're

467
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: not going to come on this show and sometimes say, boy,

468
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: I wish he'd done that a little bit different. I

469
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: wish he'd been less of a bullet a china shop.

470
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: I wish they had communicated on this issue a little

471
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: bit better. But I focus a lot on intent.

472
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 5: What is the goal?

473
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: And if your intent is a good place, sometimes you're

474
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: going to screw things up. And I think sports is

475
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: another good analogy of this. It's frustrating when a player

476
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: jumps off sides on third down, but it's an error

477
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: of trying to do too much. I would rather somebody

478
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: try to do too much and sometimes screw up, then

479
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: not be able to take a great of action and

480
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: not do enough. Trump's errors, if you go look at him,

481
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: are almost always going to be trying to do too much.

482
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: He's trying to make too much happen. He's trying to

483
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: change too much. He's trying to do as much as

484
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: he possibly can in what is a relatively short period

485
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: of time. I'm a history nerd. The older I get,

486
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: the more I sit around and say, boy, you know,

487
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: a four year presidential term is really not very much time,

488
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: and even eight years it's really not very much time.

489
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: We got Supreme Court justices with lifetime tenure, we got

490
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: senators that are going to be in office for forty years,

491
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: eight years. Any one man, any one president, is automatically circumscribed. Trump,

492
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: if he is guilty of anything right now, is guilty

493
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: of trying to do too much simultaneously. And I just

494
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: think again, be careful in trying to attack someone who

495
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: is doing so much immense good Right now, the top

496
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: attack of Democrats actually originated with Republicans. They're coming after

497
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Trump over Epstein. Not because the Democrats have been right

498
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: on Epstein, God forbid. They set on the files for

499
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: four years, they didn't release anything, they barely even mentioned it,

500
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: and now they're going to come after Trump, who just

501
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: got into office six months ago.

502
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 5: Over Epstein.

503
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: Be very, very careful when you are playing into the

504
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: hands of the people that hate Trump. In the back

505
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: of your mind, be thinking that primary Democrat attack now

506
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: on Trump is related to Epstein. Are their hands clean

507
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: on this? Have they actually done anything? All they're doing

508
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: is using right wing attacks on Trump to actually use

509
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: and mobilize the left against him. Again, I'm going to

510
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: take a bunch of your calls. We're going to weigh in,

511
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: but I just want you to think about that the origination,

512
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: where did Russia Gate come from?

513
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 5: It came from Trump can't actually have won.

514
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: It's like Brady when he beat Kurt Warner before we

515
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: knew how good Tom Brady was. Now, I understand some

516
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: of you knew that in sixteen. Some of you had

517
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: your eyes open in fifteen when Trump came down the escalator.

518
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: Other people came on board different times. Some of you

519
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: voted in Trump twenty some of you voted Trump twenty

520
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: four in the first time. I think most of you

521
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: out there listening have come to see his unique political

522
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: skill and talents Again. I think he's the greatest Republican

523
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: president since Reagan. And I think Trump, in his mind,

524
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: is making a run for the ages. His aspiration is

525
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: not to be the best since Reagan. I think he

526
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: wants to be better than Reagan. This guy's ambition is not,

527
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: as we all know, to be pretty good. It's to

528
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: be the greatest ever. We'll take your calls just like

529
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, in my opinion, is the greatest questquarterback of

530
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: all time. I want to tell you trust and will look.

531
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: It was just downstairs. My boys are running around like crazy.

532
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: It is still summer break. I've got a fourteen year old,

533
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: ten year old at home. I got a seventeen year

534
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: old no way at summer camp. Everything that I do

535
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: buy and large on a day to day basis is

536
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: about trying to help make sure that they have a

537
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: great future life for them. I'm forty six years old.

538
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: I hope that I got forty years still to go.

539
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: I hope that I got fifty years still to go.

540
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I hope that it is a very, very long time

541
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: in the future before my family has to think anything

542
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: about what might happen to me.

543
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: But who knows.

544
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: Paul Cogan, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, three Icons all

545
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: lost their lives this week. Are you prepared if something

546
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: awful happens in your life? Kids? Grandkids? They're fighting, they're squabbling.

547
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: What if you weren't there to help rectify and keep

548
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: them from fighting about everything? What if you just want

549
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: them to know everything that you would want to happen

550
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: after you die. You spend your whole life trying to

551
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: take care of your kids and your grandkids. Have you

552
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: done a trust and a will to make sure that

553
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: they know exactly what you want when you that day comes?

554
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Will never have any idea when it's going to come.

555
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: I understand it's a little bit uncomfortable sometimes to talk about,

556
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: but I have a trust in a will. I took

557
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: care of it, even though hopefully, I've still got decades

558
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: to go before I have to worry about any of

559
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: those implications. But if I get in a car and

560
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: I have an accident tomorrow, my family is set. They're

561
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: taken care of. I made sure that the trust and

562
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: Will is done, wife is done the same.

563
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 5: Have you?

564
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: Are you prepared for that day that is inevitable for

00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: all of us to make sure that your family is

566
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,200

00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Cut thirty. I think it's important to remember just how

583
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: aggressive the lies all were that were used against Trump.

584
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Here is Bernie Sanders saying Russia may be blackmailing Trump.

585
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: We need bucks Bernie impersonation. But I promise this is

586
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: actually Bernie. This is cut thirty.

587
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 13: Trump doesn't understand what RuSHA has done not only to

588
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 13: our elections, but to cyber attacks against all parts of

589
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 13: our infrastructure. Either he doesn't understand it, or perhaps he

590
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 13: is being black veiled Russia because they may have compromising

591
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 13: information about him. Or perhaps also you have a president

592
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 13: who really does have strong authoritarian tendencies, and maybe he

593
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 13: admires the kind of government that Putin is running in Russia.

594
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 13: And I think all of that is a disgrace and

595
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 13: a disservice to the American people. And we have got

596
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 13: to make sure that Russia does not interfere not only

597
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 13: in our elections, but in other aspects of our lives.

598
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: Bernie took his honeymoon in Russia the idea that he

599
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: would be Hey, maybe he admires Russia. This guy during

600
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the Cold War, got married and decided there's anywhere in

601
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: the world I could go.

602
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 5: I think I want to go to Russia.

603
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: And then he's going to accuse Trump of having a

604
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: soft spot for Russia. I just think it's so funny,

605
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: but it is important to remember maybe he's a Russian asset.

606
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: You know how aggressive and crazy that is to say

607
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: about the President of the United States. You know, they

608
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: don't really have an answer for the question. Hey, there's

609
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: a really simple question. If Trump were an asset of Russia,

610
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: why did Vladimir Putin wait until Joe Biden was in

611
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: office to invade Ukraine? If he had Trump by well,

612
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: I'll just say it the balls. If he had Trump

613
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: dead to rights because of some sort of compromising information,

614
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: why didn't he invade Ukraine when Trump was in office?

615
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: Nobody can explain that. Why did he wait until Joe Biden.

616
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: Was in office to invade Ukraine?

617
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Nobody's ever really explained this

618
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: to me either. What would Russia have on Trump? Then

619
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: that is worse than what the Democrats have said about

620
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: Trump for the last decade. You slept with a porn

621
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: star while your wife had a baby at home. Not

622
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: a great thing to have people say about you. Just

623
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna throw it out there. You raped somebody at a

624
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: dressing room in New York City.

625
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 5: Not something that I would want people to be saying

626
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 5: about me.

627
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: Is there really anything that Russia could have ever said

628
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: about Trump that was actually worse than what Democrats were

629
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: already saying about Trump?

630
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 5: Like, that's the part, why didn't he invade while he

631
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: was there? Okay?

632
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: They don't have an answer for that. What could be

633
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: worse than what you're already saying about Trump? You're a

634
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: racist nazi who slept with a porn star while your

635
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: wife had a baby at home, and also you raped

636
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: a woman in a dressing room in a New York

637
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: City department store. I don't know what else you can

638
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: say that's worse. Oh, you slept with some random girl

639
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: in Russia? Okay?

640
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 5: Like what did we think that Russia had on that?

641
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 5: Nobody can ever answer this?

642
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: What was so debilitating that Trump was so terrified of?

643
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: That would actually have been worse than what Democrats were

644
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: already saying about him.

645
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 5: I don't know about you.

646
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: But when somebody says, hey, you're a racist nazi and

647
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: they attack you, who you slept with, use, you have

648
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: sexual assault, all these other different things. What else is

649
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: left that that's honestly the result of twenty twenty four.

650
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: I knew Democrats were in trouble when they started saying, oh,

651
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: he's a he's an oligarch, Oh he's a fascist. They

652
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: were having to go further down the awful things to

653
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: say about you food chain because racist Hitler all that

654
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: stuff wasn't working anymore, and they were panicking and they

655
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: were actually insulting him with less insulting things that they

656
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: could say about him. But again, what was this compromising

657
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: information that was worse than what Russia was than what

658
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats were already saying? Never made me? Since why

659
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't they have invaded at that point in time? Tommy

660
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: and Michigan?

661
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 5: What you got for me?

662
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 4: Hey, you forgot one thing. Remember what Hilary put out there?

663
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: They claimed Donald Trump was given golden showers to Russian hookers.

664
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: Remember that, Yeah, But I'm well totally, I mean, that

665
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: was in the Steel dossier.

666
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 5: But my point is, hold on my point is.

667
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: Even that is that worse than saying, hey, you slept

668
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: with a porn star while your wife was home? With

669
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: a baby, or you raped somebody in a in a dressing.

670
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 5: Room, like they all. When you go that way, at

671
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 5: some point.

672
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: People are just like, either you don't believe it, or

673
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: you kind of end up in a situation where you're like,

674
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: there's just so many accusations. Whatever opinion you have of

675
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: Trump is already baked in. And I think that's the

676
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: problem that Democrats have run into. And that's my point

677
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: on the Russian compromising information. If somebody said, hey, Clayton,

678
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: trust me. There are people who say clay Travis is

679
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: a racist, Nazi supporting, philandering, life beating, you know, child abusing,

680
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Like every awful thing that could be said about me,

681
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: somebody has said on the internet right at some point

682
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: in time, a fraction as often as they've said it

683
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: about Trump. But at some point in time you just

684
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: have to say, well, if you're only attacking the guy

685
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: for personal issues, what are you so afraid of about

686
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: the political arguments that he's making. And I think that's

687
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: where the American public got. I'm not saying Trump's the saint.

688
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: He certainly isn't. He screwed up and made a lot

689
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: of awful decisions in his life, both personal private business,

690
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: like every single person on the playing it. But he

691
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: is also right on a ton of political issues, and

692
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: I think the American public eventually says, well, if you're

693
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: attacking Trump personally instead of addressing the substance of the

694
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: political arguments that he's making, at some point in time,

695
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: the American public is smart enough to say, wait a minute,

696
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: why can't they just go toe to toe with him

697
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: on the actual political issues. Let's just presume that nobody

698
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: is perfect, that everybody in politics is screwed up in

699
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 1: their life, just like everybody else in the whole world

700
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: has screwed up at some point in their life. And hey,

701
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: the fact that they can't actually debate them on the

702
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: issues is a sign that they're not right on the issue.

703
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: Sorry to cut you off, what you got for us.

704
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 5: The additionally, talk about the Obama thing.

705
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 4: It's like, you know what, this whole, this whole Russian collision.

706
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 4: It was debunked a year ago with Jake Capper on TNN.

707
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: He came out and said it was all a hoax,

708
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 4: The whole Russian you know, the Russian dotsier, the whole

709
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 4: it was all creative by Hillary Clinton. Jake Capper from

710
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 4: CNN came out and said it was a hope. It

711
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 4: was defunked on CNN, and now the Democrats are trying

712
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 4: to bring up this, Oh well, you know what, because

713
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 4: they knew this was They're the masters at the versionary tectics.

714
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: They knew Trump was coming out with this thing against Obama.

715
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 4: And how they try to you know, Brennan and call me.

716
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 4: Those guys are going down. Obama's got presidential immunity, but

717
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 4: the other guys are probably going down. And they know this.

718
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: I think you're you're skipping in and out. We're losing

719
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of the audience. I think that the

720
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency Apparatus, CIA, FBI, all those guys, I think

721
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: they're in more legal peril for sure than Obama is.

722
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: I think Obama's going to skate because he has presidential privilege.

723
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 5: Again.

724
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: Trump said that we played that audio for you earlier.

725
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: We've been telling you that all week. I don't want

726
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: to overpromise and under deliver to you guys, because I

727
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: trust all of you to be intelligent and an analyst

728
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: of all of the news that's out there. And I

729
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: think you should listen to people like me and Buck

730
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: and over time say hey, Are they being honest with us?

731
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: Are they analyzing the larger news arena and telling us

732
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: exactly what we think? Doesn't mean we're going to be perfect.

733
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to get a red wave

734
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. It's one hundred percent wrong. Didn't happen. Ah,

735
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think that's the reason Obama

736
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: sorry that Biden got to stay in office. And I

737
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: think that's the reason we got the red wave in

738
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. But we were early on that, we

739
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: saw the wave building. That was one that I got

740
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: completely wrong. I had to come in and tell you guys, hey,

741
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: that I was wrong on this. We got it in

742
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: twenty four, we were early on it. We didn't get

743
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: it in twenty two.

744
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 5: Got it wrong. I'll own it.

745
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: Buck had to own it when he said, hey, they'll

746
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: never kick Biden to the curb. I ended up getting

747
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: that one right. One or the other of us is

748
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: going to be right sometimes. Most of the time, I

749
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: think one of the other of us is going to

750
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: be wrong. Sometimes rarely wi we both be wrong. I

751
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: think on everything like Biden, was it his presidency? Ted

752
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: and Nebraska? What you got for us?

753
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 7: Thick of my call I think your analysis of how

754
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 7: shocked the Democrats were because of a Neo fight winning

755
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 7: is all true. That November, once they knew, everything changed

756
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 7: and they I mean, it wasn't benign. They just hated him.

757
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 7: He was an existential threat from immigration in the whole

758
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 7: nine yards. They started with Sessions, got him out of

759
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 7: the way so they could legally attack him. Flynn, they

760
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 7: didn't want him in the Pentagon. With all of that,

761
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 7: it's not that they tried to perpetrate this Russian hoax.

762
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 7: It's the fact they perpetrated the Russian hoax with the

763
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 7: deep state. His own party was part of it, the

764
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 7: media was part of it, the deep state, the Democrats.

765
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 7: This is the biggest scandal in the history of the

766
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 7: United States, and everyone involved in this has to go down.

767
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 7: I don't agree with the other caller. I think everyone's

768
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 7: going to state on this because of Statute of limitations

769
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 7: and everything else. But this is just over the top.

770
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call it, I unfortunately think that it's

771
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: more likely they're going to skate than they're going to

772
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: be prosecuted. I do think this matter is in a

773
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: big way for the historical record, and I also think look,

774
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: I went off a little bit yesterday. I also think

775
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: we have to accept that intelligence agencies are very often

776
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: intensely political, and I think one of the legacies of

777
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: the Trump era is going to be establishing just how

778
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: political our government is.

779
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 5: On a day to day basis. Everything is political, and

780
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 5: so this.

781
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: Idea, well, we're going to be completely balanced in intelligence

782
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: agencies or the Department of Justice or anywhere else. Sadly

783
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: that's not the case. I think Trump has brought it

784
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: back closer to balance, to evenness. But when you have

785
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: an entire agency that would vote eighty percent Democrat and

786
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: twenty percent Republican, it's impossible to have balance. And by

787
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: the way, I think this is true of all the

788
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: universities too. In order to have balance, you basically have

789
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: to have half the people that believe one thing half

790
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: the people that believe the other thing. That is the

791
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: very essence of balance, and then you let those people

792
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: fight it out inside of your company or even better,

793
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: and this is what Google has finally started to do.

794
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: They just say, hey, work is not where politics should happen.

795
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: That's kind of where we were for most of the

796
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: eighties and the nineties and the early two thousands. I

797
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: think we had reached this sort of grudging status quo

798
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: and we weren't trying to influence politics on everything. And

799
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: then Trump got elected and broke everybody's brain. And I

800
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: mentioned as we had to break we had to call

801
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: her that was on talking about how her daughter reacted

802
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: to Hillary. I think it was Lori in South Carolina

803
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: that we had on there. I said I would Hillary.

804
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: I think Hillary's brain was broken by the loss in

805
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and I think she was like Kurt Warner

806
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: losing to Tom Brady before we realized how good of

807
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: a talent Brady was. The analogy that I made that

808
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: explains how all of Russia collusion, in my mind, came

809
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: to happen. They had to come up with a reason

810
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: other than Trump's in eight talents why the result happened

811
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: as it did, and I think they delegitimized and de

812
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: emphasized the talents of Trump. I think Hillary secretly was

813
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: super ecstatic when she saw Kamala get swamped in twenty

814
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: twenty four because I think at that point in time, she,

815
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: even if she won't say it publicly, could start to think, hey,

816
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't completely screw up everything. Maybe Trump's just

817
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: a really good politician. And I think when he swamped

818
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: Kamala and he knocked Biden out of the race. I

819
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 1: think she will never say it, but I think Hillary

820
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: got some peace for the trauma that she felt from

821
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: losing that race. I think it spiraled her out of control.

822
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: I think she had to look at external factors. Whenever

823
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: something bad happens. The first thing that most people do

824
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: is look for other people that are the cause of

825
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: the bad thing happening.

826
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 5: This is just life.

827
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: If you just got divorced, it's very rare that the

828
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: first thought you have is, you know what, I completely

829
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: screwed that up. This is all on me. I should

830
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: have been way better. You may work through that eventually

831
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: and be like, boy, I wasn't a great husband. I

832
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a great wife. If you're fighting with your kids,

833
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: it's very rare that you're like, hey, maybe I wasn't

834
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: as good of a parent, Maybe I've screwed some of

835
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: this relationship up. Self analysis is really hard, and even

836
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: tougher than that is recognizing that you may well have

837
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: caused most of the problems that externally surround you. No,

838
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: I say, I think the phrase energy vampire is real.

839
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: But if you're a person and you're like, boy, everybody

840
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: around me is a jerk and everything is always screwed up,

841
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: and why you ever think maybe it's you? This is

842
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: what I always say. Football coaches are great on this.

843
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: There's a phrase that I also like. I like energy vampire.

844
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: You're sucking all the energy out of other people. I

845
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: also love the phrase that coaches share with me. Sometimes

846
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 1: they say, you know, being a coach is really interesting.

847
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 5: College.

848
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: Same thing in the draft, but college in particular phrases

849
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: we recruit our problems. Do you ever think about how

850
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: powerful that phrase is? Most of life you create and

851
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: recruit the own problems that you will face, and once

852
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: you take ownership of that. And I don't think Hillary

853
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: could take ownership of her loss. Oh it's Russia, Oh

854
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: it's they cheated, until you can look at internally and say, boy,

855
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: I screwed that up. That's on me, My bad. You

856
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: can't get over whatever happened to you because there's always

857
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: an external excuse. There's always someone else to blame in

858
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: all of life. I think Hillary lost in sixteen, and

859
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: I think she couldn't comprehend that she could have lost

860
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: to Trump, and I think when Trump kicked Kamala's ass

861
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: and knocked Joe Biden out of office, I think Hillary

862
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: was secretly smiling and loving all of it, because in

863
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: her mind she maybe started to recognize, Hey, I lost

864
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: to a thoroughbred political talent in twenty sixteen. That stinks,

865
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just that I failed. It's that Trump's

866
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: really good. And I bet if you talked to Kurt

867
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Warner now, I bet he felt really bad about losing

868
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: that first Super Bowl to Tom Brady. I bet when

869
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: he saw Tom Brady win six more super Bowls, he

870
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: was like, dude, this guy's legit. I just lost to

871
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: the goat. I didn't play well. We could have done better,

872
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: but there's no harm in losing to somebody who's excellent

873
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: in all of life. And I think Hillary's come to

874
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: grips with that a little bit. Maybe not publicly, but

875
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: I bet she has privately. One of the hardest challenges

876
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: you'll face as a parent debate overwin to get your

877
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: kid a cell phone.

878
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 5: And look, if.

879
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: You're out there right now and you're trying to make

880
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: this decision, or maybe you're like me and your mother

881
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: in law, cell phone doesn't work at her new house,

882
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: and your your wife is about to jump off the

883
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: top of a roof because every time she calls her mom,

884
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: you just hear her saying Mom, Mom, Mom, and the

885
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: cell phone can't get worked out. And maybe this is

886
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: just particular to me, but now we have her rapp

901
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: But yesterday Bill O'Reilly came on and he dunked on

902
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: us and said, hey, I've got a million youtubes subscribers,

903
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: and he wasn't even trying to dunk on us. He

904
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: was just kind of just dropping it in there, like, Hey,

905
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: no big deal. Million YouTube subscribers and we don't even

906
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: have one hundred thousand yet. And I don't know, he's

907
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: still going to be dunking on us at a million

908
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: to one hundred thousand, but at least it's a really

909
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: bit more respectable. And eventually we're gonna have all three

910
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 1: hours of the show up on the site.

911
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,760

922
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,840

Speaker 1: to the podcast as well. But this is crazy. I

931
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: was reading recently. This is why I've gotten so fired

932
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: up about the YouTube channel. More people now watch videos

933
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: of radio shows than actually listen to podcasts.

Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know how many of you saw this,

952
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: but I was over yesterday.

953
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 5: I was scrolling through and.

954
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know how the algorithm works, but somehow

955
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: my social media algorithms saw Sidney.

956
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 5: Sweeney in a tank top and tight jeans.

957
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: At a car and they were like, hey, let's feed

958
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: this to Clay. I don't know what could I don't

959
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: know how that happened. I really I have no idea

960
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: how algorithms work. I don't know why they thought a

961
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: girl in a tight shirt and tight jeans would somehow

962
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: that I would be like, oh, I'm gonna that just

963
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: ended up on my timeline and it turned into a

964
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: huge story yesterday because a store called American Eagle decided

965
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: that they were going to sign Sidney Sweeney as their

966
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: chief spokesperson, and this thing went megaviral. The stock was

967
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: up like a couple one hundred million dollars since they've

968
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: announced it, and I was laughing about it because basically,

969
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: the very first job I ever had was working in

970
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: an American Eagle Clothing store and yesterday going viral somehow.

971
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how it ended up on my timeline. Again,

972
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how algorithms work. I don't know why

973
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: they thought that I would be interested in an attractive

974
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: woman and not very much clothes.

975
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 5: I don't know how that happened.

976
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: But so Sidney Sweeney stock is skyrocketing, thing goes megaviral

977
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: somehow ends up on my timeline for my very first

978
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: job when I was like sixteen years old.

979
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 5: And you know what they've decided to do.

980
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: They replaced fat, unattractive models with attractive models. And you're

981
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna think this is ridiculous, but I actually think it's

982
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: evidence of the culture healing. And let me explain why,

983
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: and I'll share some funny stories about that job that

984
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: I used to have back in the day. But you

985
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: remember when a few years ago, Victoria's Secret decided, Hey,

986
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,479
Speaker 1: I know the whole Victoria's Secret model thing. You walk

987
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 1: it by in a mall and they have a gorgeous

988
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: woman not wearing very much clothes. And it turns out

989
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: that putting gorgeous women in not very much clothes convinces

990
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: women to go buy more underwear than they otherwise would,

991
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: and like body lotion and whatever else Victoria's Secret it sells,

992
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not putting myself out of this category either.

993
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: My wife still makes fun of me. I watched the

994
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: Victorious Secret, like the Christmas special that they have, and

995
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: then I went and bought like two hundred dollars of

996
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: lingerie like the next day, So yes, I I'm susceptible

997
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: to advertising. My wife was like, I like, you bought

998
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: everything in the whole store. Basically, I was a lot.

999
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna look amazing in it. And she

1000
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: was like, you watch the Victorious Secret fashion show, didn't you?

1001
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: And I said yes, And it was incredibly useful. And

1002
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of men out there that know exactly

1003
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Like you see an attractive girl

1004
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: in that outfit and you're like, I want my wife

1005
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: or my girlfriend in that attractive outfit.

1006
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 5: Boom.

1007
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: It works because advertising, by and large is aspirational. People

1008
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: want to look better than.

1009
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 5: They actually do.

1010
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: You ever watch a romantic comedy, it's never the case

1011
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: that the guy and the girl in the romantic comedy

1012
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: are both ugly, because nobody would go I don't know why,

1013
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,760
Speaker 1: you just don't believe that two really fat people should

1014
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: get together and spend money to go watch it. You

1015
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: want to watch a guy that's typically sometimes better looking

1016
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: than you, a woman who's always better looking than the

1017
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: guy deserves. That is like the romantic comedy Large, and

1018
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: Hollywood knows it, and that's why it works. Somehow, Victoria's

1019
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: Secret decided, you know what, I think we'll sell more

1020
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: lingerie if we put fat people in lingerie. I just

1021
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: got to tell you it didn't work. In fact, the

1022
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: company almost went bankrupt. And then they went back and

1023
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: they said, hey, you know what, we should put more

1024
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: attractive people in our clothes, because people want to think

1025
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: that they're going to look more attractive. I'm fat and

1026
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: not particularly good looking. I don't see somebody in the

1027
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: underwear store and think, hey, I want them to look

1028
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: like me. I wish I was in better shape. I

1029
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: wish I was more ripped. That's how everybody is. Okay,

1030
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: So American Eagle, where I used to work, they went

1031
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: with the fat model thing, and basically the entire brand collapsed,

1032
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: and so now they're pivoting and they should fire everybody

1033
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: who said, hey, you know what, we need fat models

1034
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: unattractive women. Nike did the same thing. Hey, let's put

1035
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: Dylan mulvaney in a sports bra to put fat people

1036
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: in yoga pants. That'll make people want to buy yoga pants. No,

1037
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. Okay, throughout history, attractive people, women in

1038
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: particular in clothing makes people want to buy more clothing.

1039
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: So Sidney Sweeney is now the spokesperson for American Eagle,

1040
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: and this happens almost identical with Nike suddenly deciding did

1041
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: you guys see Scotty Scheffler won the British Open, the

1042
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: Open golf championship over the weekend. His insanely cute toddler

1043
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: kid he's like ten months old, eleven months old, roughly

1044
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: a year old, was crawling around on the green, and

1045
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Nike's new advertisement replacing trans people in women's gear, men

1046
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: pretending to be women and fat people in yoga pants

1047
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 1: is Scotty Scheffler with his son crawling, and it basically says,

1048
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: you've already won, but now you've won again. Hey, fatherhood

1049
00:58:55,200 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: is good. It's good to aspire to win a championship,

1050
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: but ultimately the most important job, I certainly feel this way,

1051
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: is when you have kids, raising them to be productive

1052
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: members of society. So looking at that Sydney Sweeney ad

1053
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: because again I don't know how it happened, but it

1054
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: ended up in my timeline, and it's reminding me of

1055
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: the nineties when I worked in the American Eagle store

1056
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: and in the Abercrombie and Fitch store. Back in the day,

1057
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: I made four dollars and fifty cents an hour at

1058
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: American Eagle Rivergate Mall, Goodletsville, Tennessee. Four dollars and fifty

1059
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: cents an hour. Probably the most fun job I've ever had,

1060
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: because I was sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old and all

1061
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: I had to do all day long was fold shirts

1062
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: and talk to pretty girls when they walked into the store.

1063
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: I had an excuse to talk to every pretty girl

1064
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: on the North and the East side of Nashville that

1065
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: came to Rivergate Mall. In fact, if you are listening

1066
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: to this right now in Goodletzville, Tennessee, if you were

1067
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: cute girl that went into that store between nineteen ninety

1068
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 1: six and nineteen ninety nine, there's almost one hundred percent

1069
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: chance I hit on you because I had an excuse

1070
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: to walk up and talk to you. That was the

1071
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: best job ever, four dollars and fifty cents, got to

1072
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: eat Chick fil A every day for lunch, on my

1073
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: lunch break or my dinner break. Got to just hang

1074
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: out in the mall. Every teenager in America is there

1075
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: at that point in time. And do you know how

1076
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: they sold gear at both American Eagle and Abercrombie and Fitch.

1077
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Good looking people in the ads, wearing the clothes. And

1078
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: then we entered this weird world, this weird world where

1079
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: we were supposed to pretend that, hey, instead of everybody

1080
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: aspiring to be bigger, stronger, faster versions of themselves or

1081
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: in better shape versions of themselves, that we should all

1082
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: just be body positive, that there should be no aspiration anymore,

1083
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: that the meritocracy shouldn't exist, and that we should just

1084
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: take people as they were and put them in ads.

1085
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 5: And it failed utterly.

1086
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: And I was actually thinking about this not only in

1087
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the context of what American Eagle is doing and how

1088
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: successful it already appears to be, but in the way

1089
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: that society shifts.

1090
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 5: It feels quite clear to.

1091
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Me that we are trying to turn back time and

1092
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: go back to the eighties, the nineties and the early

1093
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: two thousands, after a generation where we tried to pretend

1094
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: things were not real, right, that your grandparents' world didn't

1095
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: exist anymore, that your parents' world didn't exist anymore. And

1096
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: now we're turning back the clock and going back to

1097
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: the era of the eighties and nineties and even the

1098
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: early two thousands, when by and large most people got along.

1099
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this in the context of

1100
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: social media because I shared over this week race relations

1101
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: suddenly collapsed about twenty fourteen.

1102
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 5: I'm saying, what caused all this?

1103
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Why did we suddenly decide, Hey, let's put fat people

1104
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: in spandex. Let's put fat people in bras in the

1105
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: windows at Victoria's Secret.

1106
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 5: Social media?

1107
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Social media came close to breaking this country, and everything

1108
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: that social media advocated for actually made things worse. Starting

1109
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: about twenty fourteen, overall happiness in this country collapsed. Thirty

1110
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,919
Speaker 1: percent of teenage girls suddenly want to commit suicide. Why

1111
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: they're looking at Instagram. They've got zits and braces and

1112
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: they're looking at Instagram. They're like, I'm so unhappy. They're

1113
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: seeing this world that doesn't actually exist, and it's not

1114
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a far away world like celebrities have always existed. It's hey,

1115
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: whatever your life is, somebody in your school has a

1116
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: way better life. They went on a better vacation, They've

1117
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: got a better car, better in that dress. Gratitude is

1118
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: the enemy of competition. And suddenly everything is collapsing. Black people,

1119
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: white people, Suddenly, race relations are collapsing. Why BLM comes

1120
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: up and says, hey, the whole world's racist cops are unnecessary.

1121
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Murder rates skyrocket, violent crime skyrockets. All of it, I

1122
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: think is connected directly to social media. And I think

1123
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: it broke the brains of lots of people, and I

1124
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: think society as a whole is paying the price. And

1125
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: we're slowly coming out of that fever and recognizing that

1126
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: everything that happened before twenty fourteen was actually pretty good

1127
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: in this country, and we were on a good trajectory.

1128
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: And I think what Trump represents is that acknowledgment that

1129
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: America is the greatest country that's ever existed, and what

1130
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: we were sold was a bill of goods.

1131
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 4: Now.

1132
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 5: I've got a big theory on this.

1133
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: I think the problem was people tried to be too

1134
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: responsive to social media. Except social media is to real life.

1135
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: What a carnival funhouse mirror is you know you stand

1136
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: in front of a carnival funhouse mirror back in the day,

1137
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: It makes you look fatter or skinnier than you actually are.

1138
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: It isn't reflective of reality. But we all know that,

1139
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: and that's what makes the carnival funhouse mirror makes sense

1140
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: because it's humorous, because it's showing you what you actually aren't.

1141
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: My argument is, social media is the carnival funhouse mirror.

1142
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: Imagine if you adjusted your diet entirely based on what

1143
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: you saw in a Carnival funhouse mirror, you would actually

1144
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: be making worse decisions for yourself than if you had

1145
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: never stood in front of the mirror at all. My

1146
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: argument is we're starting to come out of that Carnival

1147
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: funhouse mirror era because the nation as a whole looked

1148
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: at the reflection we saw in social media and we

1149
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: thought it was the real world, and we started adjusting

1150
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: policy as a result. And I think it explains almost

1151
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: everything over the past decade, and that's why we got

1152
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: so much wrong, and that's why we're starting to fix

1153
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: so much right now. I want to talk about that more.

1154
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: We'll take some of your calls. Also want to tell

1155
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: you the IFCJ does incredible work. I want you to

1156
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: go to check out with the work that they're doing

1157
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: right now. They're doing something very simple. They're just putting

1158
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: bomb shelters to try to save people from bombs. People

1159
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: of Israel have to constantly be rushing to bomb shelters.

1160
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: I saw it for myself. They constantly need so much,

1161
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: so much in the name of just basic safety and security.

1162
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: That's what the IFCJ does. They are absolutely incredible. They're

1163
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: on the ground providing much needed supplies and resources, also

1164
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: letting them know they've got friends in America. All you
