I cannot fit into another. 60 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: Since I was like six years old, people have gone, 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: I have a big head too, here, let me put 62 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: and they try to put their baseball hat. I'm like, no, 63 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: yours is a normal hat that is stretched out. My 64 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: head is too big for your hat. They have always 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: been wrong. 66 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: So I was in Atlanta for the Braves Games, which 67 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: was amazing. Uh and they have like an entire wall 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: full of all these different Atlanta Braves hats and they're 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: always new. I can't imagine how many different designs they have. 70 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: You're telling me on a wall of hundreds of hats, 71 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: including the ones that are designed to fit everyone, there 72 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: isn't actually a hat that would fit you. 73 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: You don't think science Club, Yes, it would not fit 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: I saw. 75 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: There's only a few websites, like there are people listening 76 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: who are tweeting me. They're like, oh, I know, I 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: know where you got that Hat's there's not that many 78 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: of us. The large head community does not get the 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: respect and the commercial support from the industry that we deserve. 80 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: This Honestly, remember when we had that conversation about the 81 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: black equestrians with dreadlocks, who were like, this is so 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 2: unfair writing helmets doesn't fit us. It's racism everything else. 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: This feels like a bigger issue that the big head 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: community is receiving no respect at all in the larger 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: hat making industry. 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: I mean, how do you think it feels when you 87 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: buy something that says one size fits all, and then 88 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: you practice give yourself an aneurysm trying to put it 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: on Clay. 90 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: It doesn't feel good. So you have a blank hat. 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: I hope you were able to use it during your 92 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: during your shooting exercises. Let me just go here, let's 93 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: start here. I did Megan Kelly show earlier, Buck, and 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: she said, I never was expecting that you would come on, 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: and I would want to open with sports. But did 96 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: you pay attention at all to the US women's national 97 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: team loss? 98 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: Clay? 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: I can tell you that having both played high school 100 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: soccer Yep Cather of my high school team, and then 101 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: coached high school soccer, that's one season that the Reppino 102 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: free kick, that would be you should have to do 103 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 3: like push ups. If you were a fourteen year old 104 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: guy or girl and you hit that free kick, I 105 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: would say you need to run ten laps and do 106 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: fifty push ups. It was pathetic, but it was a 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: perfect encapsulation of that team that refused to. 108 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: I saw they refused to sing the national anthem. Right. Yeah. 109 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: They scored one goal in their last three games. And 110 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: for those of you who have not seen this, we 111 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: should probably put it up on the website. At Clay 112 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: and Buck, because I know not everybody's paying attention. Meghan Rappino, 113 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: who in the preliminary to the Women's World Cup starting 114 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: came out and said that she would support a trans 115 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: player that is, a man identifying as a woman just 116 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: in time for her to retire, had a penalty kick 117 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: opportunity and airmailed it actually far to the right, ironically enough, 118 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: over the goalpost, in one of the worst misses you 119 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: could have. And Buck, as you well know, the number 120 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: one thing you want to do in those scenarios is 121 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: at least put the shot on goal, because your odds 122 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: of scoring, certainly if you are a high level soccer player, 123 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: are extraordinarily high when it comes to being able to 124 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: attempt a penalty kick. So the worst case scenario, you 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: want to at least put it on goals. She airmailed it, 126 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: laughed afterwards. And I know a lot of people out 127 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: there are in this position now where you all were 128 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 2: hated to be in this position, but because the US 129 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: women's team has so made everything political that you are 130 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: now in a position where you didn't even really care 131 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: and or you were even rooting against the US women's 132 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: team over the fact that they have alienated everybody and 133 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: if you wonder how political this has become. Joe Biden 134 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: tweeted yesterday US women's national team, You've made your country proud. 135 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: Congrats on an incredible run. This team is something special 136 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to seeing how you continue to 137 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: inspire Americans with your grit and determination on and off 138 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: the field. That is a lie, not just because it 139 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: came from Joe Biden, buck, but because this is the 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: single worst performance the US women's national team has ever 141 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: put forward in the history of the World Cup. Yet 142 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: because they are super left wing and political and many 143 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: ways it appears hate America. They are embraced by the 144 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: left wing in this country. If you don't sing the 145 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: national anthem when you're representing the United States abroad, I 146 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: hope you lose. Yeah, well, you know whatever. Or rather, 147 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: if you don't participate in the national anthem before a game, 148 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: you were there to represent the United States. They're not 149 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: there because of the best female soccer players in the world. 150 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: They're not there because of the best male or female player 151 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: that you could even gather up. You know, in a 152 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: lot of counties of different states. I mean, we all 153 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: know what happened when they played the men's was a 154 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: Texas men's fourteen to fifteen year old fifteen and under, 155 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: not even in Texas, buck just in Dallas. They beat 156 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: the women's team five to two. These are just fifteen 157 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: year old boys in Dallas, Texas. 158 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, if they want us to support them, 159 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: they've got to be respectful of the country that they 160 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: are there to represent. And they're not. And they lost, 161 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: and you know, they got what they deserve as far 162 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: as everybody can see. It is funny, though Joe Biden 163 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: knows he has to say that, or rather his handler 164 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: is running that tweet for him. 165 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: No, they have to double down because who's. 166 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: The most famous the most famous female soccer player now Repino. 167 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: It's just the truth. I mean, she is now the 168 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: best known. 169 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: She's got like purple hair, and she's super left wing 170 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 3: and very woke and the whole all of it, all 171 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: the stuff probably announces pronouns, I don't know, probably puts 172 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: it in her email sign that you're but this is 173 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: what happens. You lose focus and you become obsessed with 174 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: yourself and then you shank the ball in the big 175 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: game in a way that would bear. I haven't played 176 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: soccer since really since college, and I wouldn't shank at 177 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: that bad right now. 178 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: You could put me out there, I wouldn't. I wouldn't 179 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: do what she did. 180 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: You could probably play on the US women's team, bucket, 181 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: even if you haven't played soccer in a long time, honestly, 182 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 2: but here with two hundred. 183 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 3: Pounds, I'd throw those ladies around like like nothing if 184 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: you use rag dolls. 185 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: Here is what Rapinos said after the game. She was 186 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: asked what she was most proud of. This is real listen, cut. 187 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 4: Tow sure a memory that stands out to you right 188 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 4: now in this moment. I mean probably equal pay chance 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 4: after the final, and I think you know they're saying 190 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: equal pay, but could have been saying a lot of things. 191 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 4: I think this team has always fought for so much more, 192 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 4: and that's been the most we weren't part for me, 193 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 4: of course, playing World Cups and winning championships and doing 194 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 4: all that, but you know, to know that we've used 195 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: our really special talent to do something you know that's 196 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: really like changed the world forever. I think that means 197 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: the most to me. 198 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: And oh, my buck, what are you most proud of? 199 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 2: The fact that people chanted equal pay, not the fact 200 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: of anything that you actually did on the field. And 201 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: let me just say this, the reason why our women 202 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: were paid lower than the men is not because somehow 203 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: America is in an awful place. It's because most of 204 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: the rest of the world doesn't actually care that much 205 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: about women's athletics and buck. What I've hammered home over 206 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: and over again is, remember, this is the team that 207 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen refused to visit the Trump White House 208 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: because they didn't like Donald Trump, and they refused to 209 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: stand for the national anthem and all these things because 210 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: of Megan Raupino's leadership. The reason why our women are 211 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 2: good at soccer at all is because America offers in 212 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: incredible human rights to women, the likes of which don't 213 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: exist anywhere else in the world. And they got so 214 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: focused on woke politics that I really believe that's why 215 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: they only scored one goal in the last three games. 216 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: They were less concerned with winning, which is the only 217 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: reason people care about these women at all, and more 218 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: concerned with being politicians. And Meghan Rapino as their leader 219 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: is the perfect approximation of this. For her to say 220 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: this is the thing she's most proud of in her career. 221 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 2: Frankly is an embarrassment and reflective of why she choked 222 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: in the big moment. 223 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: It's also unequal pay that they demand. 224 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unequal pay. They want the same dollar number, 225 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: but they don't want the same metrics to get to 226 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 3: that number. As you just pointed out, I'm down here, 227 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: as you know, in Miami, and sorry, we're talking a 228 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: lot of soccer today, but you know it's in the news. 229 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: Lionel Messi is the most famous soccer player. Him and 230 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: Christiano Ranaldo the two most famous soccer players. But a 231 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 3: lot of people say he's the most famous soccer player 232 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: to be alive today and probably the most famous since Pele. Right, Like, 233 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: he's he's a global phenomenon, right, And he's now playing 234 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: for a team in Miami. Ticket prices play have skyrocket. Yep, 235 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: if you want to go see that. I don't even 236 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 3: know the name of the team. It's the Miami Professional 237 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: MLS soccer team. I should probably learn the name of 238 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: this I lived from now, but if you want to 239 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: go see them, because I was just hearing from a 240 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: friend of mine, he's like, I used to go to 241 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: the games all the time tickets where you know, you 242 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: could get really good seats, it was inexpensive. I'm talking 243 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: about this because he is a draw. So the fact 244 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: that they pay him so much money is related to 245 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 3: the fact and that he turned down even more money 246 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 3: from the Saudi's than others. But they pay this guy 247 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: crazy millions of dollars because people now pay one thousand 248 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: dollars to be feeling right down near the field to 249 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: watch him play, and so that generates more money for 250 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: the stadium and more money for the ownership and all 251 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: the way down right, we all understand the basic economics 252 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: of this. I mean, so by the equal pay standard 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: that women's soccer is demanding, you know, the you should 254 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: have WNBA players who are making thirty forty million dollars 255 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: a year because that's what top NBA players a lot 256 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: of them now are making. Yeah, but that's totally financially unsustainable. 257 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 3: So how do you do that? No, they want unequal paid. 258 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: They want money that they did not earn. It would 259 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 3: be like if you and I were doing a radio 260 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: show for one hundred people and we're. 261 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, but we think we're really good. No, it's true. 262 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: Basic economics are what drive sports, and honestly, inequality is 263 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: what sports is based on. You want to be way 264 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: better than someone else. The reason why these US women 265 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: have an audience is because they're wearing the United States uniform, 266 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: not because of their individual talents in soccer. To your point, Buck, 267 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: Messi has a massive audience. I believe the team's name 268 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: is ner Miami. If I'm not I inter Miami, I 269 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 2: think that's the name of the team. They have the 270 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: pink jerseys. You can't even buy one of the jerseys 271 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: right now because they sold so many of these. Messi 272 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: brings it an audience no matter where he plays, whether 273 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: it's for the Argentina nash team in the World Cup, 274 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: whether it was for the French soccer team, whether it's 275 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: for now MLS, because he is an elite talent and 276 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: he deserves whatever that money can be translated to. These 277 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: women took advantage of woke politics allowed it to define them. 278 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: They have far more individual talent than the way that 279 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: they collectively performed, and I think it's a perfect example 280 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: of how everything woke, as Donald Trump likes to say, 281 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: goes to crap. 282 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 3: And he doesn't use the word crap, Buck, no, No, 283 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: he doesn't. There's a lot of Trump truths out there 284 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: right now, as in on truth Social. We could get 285 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: into that later on this hour. He's he's he's getting 286 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: trumpy out there. We'll talk about it. Customers of pure Talk, 287 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: the sofa and company that I used, a nice upgrade 288 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: this past month.

They 326 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 5: didn't think of women getting elected at that time, someone 327 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 5: getting himself elected to the president who was reckless and 328 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 5: lawless and a demagogue and out for his own power 329 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 5: and maybe allied secretly with hostile foreign governments. All that 330 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 5: finally came to pass, at least it seemed in the 331 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 5: case of Donald Trump. 332 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: Can I just say the hostile foreign governments thing is 333 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 3: a lie that the lib partisans of Hillary Clinton fabricated 334 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: out of nothing? 335 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: And he still says like, well, maybe it was true. 336 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Buck, I don't know about you, but as 337 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: a history nerd, I actually like this guy's books. I 338 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: will never read anything that he writes again because if 339 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: he's willing to lie to me about this, it makes 340 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: me wonder about whether he did a decent job writing 341 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: about anything historically.

There are some 404 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: others that I look at and I say, this is embarrassing. 405 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 2: All right, there are a lot of woke books that. 406 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: Are obliterating me. 407 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: And for everybody out there who says, okay, like why 408 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: does this matter? You guys talk to millions of people 409 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: every day. You get to be on Fox News, that's true, 410 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: and that's all great, and you run out kick and 411 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 2: we have big audio and says I'm trying all the 412 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 2: time to persuade people who otherwise are not aware of 413 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: our arguments. And I was talking with our producer Ali 414 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: up here in New York this morning we're going to 415 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: get coffee, and she's finished reading the book, and she said, 416 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: and I think it's true. And I was thinking at myself, 417 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: a lot of you have kids and grandkids, and you're 418 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: concerned about what their political opinions might be. I think 419 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: if you shared this book with them, I think all 420 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: of you listening right now are going to like it 421 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: because you're gonna hear and read a lot of our opinions, 422 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: and you're gonna have heard them on a radio and 423 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: everything else. And I think we're on the right side 424 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: of history on these opinions. But I think if you 425 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: go out there and actually check it out and share 426 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 2: it with your kids and grandkids, you are going to 427 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: be blown away by how they respond. Because I think 428 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna if they read it, and if you get 429 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: them to read it, and obviously getting kids to read 430 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: anything can be a challenge. I think they're going to 431 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: be like, you know what, I kind of agree with 432 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: a lot of what is being said in this. So 433 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: my request for you guys. We sell a lot of 434 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 2: things through our sponsors, and we love this. I'm not 435 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 2: trying to make any money off this. In fact, I 436 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: will pledge to you right now If I make any 437 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: money off this book, I'll donate it to whatever Republican 438 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 2: ends up being the nominee in twenty twenty four for 439 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: them to win. So I'm in a good spot. I 440 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 2: am saying to you, any money that I make from 441 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: this book, I will donate to the eventual Republican nominee. 442 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 2: I will stroke a big check, I'll publicize it. I 443 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 2: want the Republican to win because that is what this 444 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: book argues about. So I'm in a fortunate place, but 445 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: I want these arguments to get out there. So I 446 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 2: rarely do this. In fact, I don't think I've done 447 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: it in two plus years. I'm asking you, guys, drive 448 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: this book up to get on the New York Times 449 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: list next year. 450 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: Buck, you will see this. 451 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: We have to double or triple the sales of a 452 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 2: normal left wing book in order to make the New 453 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: York Times list because they don't want to put us 454 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: on there. We don't want to give credence to our 455 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: political beliefs. They want to pretend we don't exist. Getting 456 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 2: a book up in the front of a bookstore so 457 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: that when you walk in, somebody looks at it and says, oh, 458 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: maybe I'll consider this they pick up the book. Maybe 459 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: they're in Pennsylvania. Maybe they're in Wisconsin or Georgia or Arizona, 460 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: all of these toss up states. Maybe you got friends 461 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: and family there. I really think this election next year, 462 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 2: no matter who the nominee is, it's going to come 463 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: down to a very fine line. 464 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: Buck. 465 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 2: And let me also share this.

Let's talk about enough and especially as 519 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 3: a radio guy. As a radio guy, you don't get 520 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: doses of humility. You get title wave of humility. You 521 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 3: get smacked down.

Remember, Republicans control it, so they should be 613 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 3: able to do some worthwhile stuff. At least we would 614 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 3: like to believe that that will happen. So he'll be 615 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 3: with us here in a few moments. We've certainly learned 616 00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: some interesting things about the Hunter Biden phenomena, non of 617 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: global influence, peddling and selling all of that, And yes, indeed, 618 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: I think that we could see some consequences down the line. 619 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 3: So Clay, I know we're selling books today for American Playbook. 620 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 3: Do you get it? Do you make any big predictions 621 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four? 622 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? 623 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: I do, And I think that's probably what people should 624 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 2: think about the most. I'm not interested, and you guys 625 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: know this if you listen to the show quite a lot. 626 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm not interested in a last second field goal style win. 627 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 2: I think that this whole Democrat identity politics cancel culture universe. 628 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 2: The only way it truly ends is if we show 629 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: up and deliver a robust ass kicking and I mean 630 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 2: something where people aren't sitting around saying, oh, if only 631 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: ten thousand more people had turned out in Wisconsin, and 632 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: so the entire concept of the book is I really 633 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: do believe that Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden are historically 634 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: analogous figures. I think if you look at Jimmy Carter's 635 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 2: election in nineteen seventy six, he was an accidental president 636 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: brought on by Watergate. I think that Biden is an 637 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: accidental president that was brought on by COVID. Not to 638 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 2: mention all the rig job and everything else, but I 639 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: think Democrats terrorized a certain segment of the population that 640 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: they were going to die if they didn't of COVID, 641 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: if they didn't vote for Joe Biden, and he would 642 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: handle COVID far better. 643 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: He didn't. Of course that was a lie. But I 644 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: think if you. 645 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 2: Come out of that, what happened starting in nineteen eighty 646 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: was and buck you and I are of this generation. 647 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: I think it's important most of us out there, who 648 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 2: I was born in nineteen seventy nine, you were born 649 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: what in eighty two? Is that right? One eighty one? 650 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 2: So those of us who grew up roughly in our 651 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: age range, if you grew up part of Gen X 652 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: in the seventies, in the eighties, in the nineties, in 653 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 2: the early two thousands, most people in America got along, 654 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 2: and most people in America agreed that America was in 655 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: a amazing place. And I really think that we are 656 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: going to see this is my historical analogy. I think 657 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: starting in twenty twenty four, if the Republican nominee runs 658 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: the right campaign, I think we're going to see a 659 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: Reagan like rise and a return to normalcy over the 660 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 2: next twenty thirty and forty years. Because if you really 661 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: think about it, from nineteen eighty all the way through 662 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 2: twenty twelve, I would argue that most of our political 663 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: campaigns were about who loved America the most and how 664 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 2: amazing this country was, certainly at a minimum through two 665 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: thousand and eight, and lately all they are about now 666 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: is identity politics and everybody and this woke ideology is 667 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: destroying the country. I really believe it. I think there's 668 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: a desperate demand for a return to normalcy, and much 669 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 2: of my book is about addressing how we get back there. 670 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 2: That's what I spend a lot of time thinking about, 671 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: certainly talking about on this show. But as you know, 672 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: because you're writing a book, right now. Well, one of 673 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: the benefits of writing a book is you get to 674 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: think big picture as opposed to reacting whatever to the 675 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 2: news of the day is. And I love what we 676 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 2: get to do talking for three hours to everybody out there. 677 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: But sometimes in the reacting to the immediate stories of 678 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 2: the moment, you miss the bigger picture of what exactly 679 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: is going on. And that's what I'm trying to address. 680 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 2: And I bet you're finding as you're writing your book 681 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: that you get to think on a longer horizon in 682 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 2: a book than you might talking on the radio. 683 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 3: I've also got to teach myself a lot and learn 684 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 3: a lot about subject matter that is of high interest 685 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 3: to me as I go to As I'm writing the book, 686 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: I've read basically all of this point about twelve fifteen 687 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: twelve to fifteen books I would say on the subject, 688 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 3: and then a lot of articles and things like that too. 689 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 3: Just to get really really up to speed and learning 690 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 3: stuff that you find interesting, or rather developing a degree 691 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 3: of expertise that you find interesting, I think is one 692 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 3: of the most intellectually rewarding things you can do. I 693 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: will say one good part of the CIA was they 694 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 3: always said a good analyst can be put into a 695 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: different you know, a different office on a different subject matter, 696 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 3: and within two weeks at least know what the heck 697 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 3: is going on, not you know, be an expert, but 698 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 3: have figure out what matters.
