Speaker 1: would like to hear. The first couple of hours of

00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: the program, we had Senator Marsha Blackburn, who just announced

Speaker 1: Wattley from North Carolina was on with us, and like

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Right before the show started,

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: to thank you for taking us over one hundred thousand

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: subscribers on the Clay and Buck YouTube channel, I did

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: a book review segment that is only going to be

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: up on YouTube, and I'll give you a little bit

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: of a preview of that. So many of you are

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: interested in good American history, good books to read, so

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I gave two book reviews and I'm just going to

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: mention them here. You guys know I love reading about

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: a history, American history in particular. I am reading The

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Fate of the Day, which is volume two of the

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: American Revolution trilogy. I'm holding it up just so you

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: can see the cover. It's incredible. I'm about halfway through it.

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: If you want to hear me talk about it more,

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: you can go to the YouTube channel.

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: That video will be up.

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to do fun things there that

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: are not airing on the radio program. I also told

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: youa hey, if you're a mystery thriller kind of person,

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: which I am, I usually have a nonfiction book going

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: at the same time as a fiction book and I

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: read which i've or I'm in the mood for. I

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: have mentioned this on the show before, but I just

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: finished Mickharron, who is a London based thriller spy espionage writer.

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Eight of them, the Slow Horses television version. Maybe some

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: of you have seen this on Apple TV. I am

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: told it is really good. I have never watched it,

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: but I can tell you these books are great. There

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: eight of them. I love mysteries thrillers. I grew up

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: reading initially the Hardy Boys, and then it led into

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Sue Grafton and Robert Parker and James Lee Burke.

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: And so anyway, if.

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: You are a thriller reader, Patricia Cornwell you name you

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: guys know all of these Alex Cross series, all of

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: these you know, I gave you good reviews for those,

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do some fun things on YouTube so

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: you will be able to dive in there. Okay, we

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: got people who want to react, and for those of

52
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: you want to get your popcorn out. We've led into

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: a discussion about how almost all issues in America today,

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion, if you had to go to one

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: root cause absent fathers, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic absent fathers

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I think lead to violent crime. And this actually wasn't planned,

57
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: but it came out of a email that bo, one

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: of our VIP readers, wrote in saying, Hey, if we

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: really want to go after violent crime rates, let's prosecute

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: parents more often. And I said, my concern there is

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: that actually dads are absent, and you would end up

62
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: going after mom or grandma or maybe even grandpa who

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: were trying to fill in for the absent dad. And

64
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: the person who's the most responsible for everything that is

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: going on will not be held accountable. And so that

66
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: was my concern. And let me hit you with this

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: because I mentioned that I was going to discuss it earlier,

68
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: right before I take your calls. President Trump has demanded

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: that there be a new census done, and I've talked

70
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: about this a lot on the program. Maybe we'll dive

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: into this a bit more tomorrow, but basically, Red states

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: would be on tap to add ten House seats if

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the census had been done correctly, and Republicans would add ten,

74
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Democrats would lose ten, Florida would add four seats, Texas

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: would add four seats, California would lose three. New York

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: would lose two overall, and that's going to play in

77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: big in the electoral college by the time we get

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: to twenty thirty two. But they screwed up twenty twenty,

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: so they really should redo the census, and that is

80
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: what President Trump has called for. And we will dive

81
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: into some of that tomorrow. But again, go subscribe to

82
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: the YouTube. You can check out all original content that

83
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: is going up there. VIP email from Eric black Dad

84
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: out there. Let me start with this. I was fortunate

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: to have my dad in the home as a kid,

86
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: and my kids have the same good fortune. You are

87
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: spot on about LBG at LBJ and the great society

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: the government dictates on the programs essentially force dads out

89
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: in order to access the so called benefits. Never have

90
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: a people paid such a high price for a block

91
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of cheese. Larry Elder, Deroy Murdoch, and Jason Riley have

92
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: written and spoken extensively on this subject. They challenge the

93
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: black people out there who've been brainwashed by the liberal

94
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: culture to wake up, grow up, and man up. It's

95
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: good email from Eric, and I appreciate it. I'm glad

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: he's being a good dad. Look, it's easy to try

97
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: to racialize this, and I try to avoid doing that.

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: I got an email and I'll read the email. I'm

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: not going to tell you who wrote it because I'm

100
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: not going to put him on not going to put

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: him on blast. But he said, he said, why are

102
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: you not talking about the fact that this is a.

103
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: Huge problem for.

104
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Black men and nobody will talk about it for black

105
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: men and black families, and and you're being a coward

106
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: because you're not focusing enough on race as it pertains

107
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: to this issue. And I'm looking at that email from

108
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: him right now. I don't think that's helpful. Honestly, it

109
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't make me feel better as a white dad. If

110
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: the white crime rate was zero and the black crime

111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: rate was one hundred, I wouldn't take lee in that.

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take enjoyment in that. If the Hispanic crime

113
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: rate was zero and the white crime rate was one hundred,

114
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be like, Man, that's great, Go Hispanic people,

115
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: white people, Man, you're the problem. I don't think you

116
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: racialize a problem. I think you actually then divide people.

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: What I would argue is kids without dads is a

118
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: huge American issue, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic. Now, I do

119
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: think that there is a socio economic component to this

120
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: in this large your context, I think the government tried

121
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: to replace poor dads with the government, and there's a line,

122
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: and I think there's some truth to it. You can

123
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: racialize the line. But the way I would put it is,

124
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: when rich people get a cold, poor poor people get pneumonia.

125
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: If you're black, you probably heard before when white people

126
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: get a cold, black people get pneumonia. It is true

127
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: when rich people have small problems, poor people get big problems,

128
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: and so I think you have to be careful when

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: you put government policies in place. This is, to me

130
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: the essence of Democrat politics. They sit around from their

131
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: gated mansions and they think, oh, my goodness, you know

132
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: the real problem with crime in America is the police.

133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: We should take them away. This is Zora Mundami, right.

134
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: All the people with money, they've got protection. Mom, Donnie

135
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: goes down to Uganda, he's got a security detail following

136
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: him everywhere. He's not worried about crime happening to him

137
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: because he's rich enough.

138
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: To have his own security.

139
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: You ever notice that none of those politicians who called

140
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: to defund the police ever gave up their own personal

141
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: security details. Well, wait a minute. If you think all

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: of us should give up police, how come you need them.

143
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: That's a really good question, isn't it. So many people

144
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: in America they talk left and they live right.

145
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: All those media that right at the New York Times.

146
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: They're married, raising their kids. Their kids oftentimes go to

147
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: private schools. They live in gated communities. Everybody in lecturing

148
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: you on MSc nuclear families. They want a mom at home,

149
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: they want a dad at home. They want to have

150
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: security for their kids. They want private school choice for

151
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: their kids. Why do they lecture you from a left

152
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: perspective and then live like the most conservative person on

153
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: the planet in their own life. Because the best way

154
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: to raise a family is a nuclear family, mom dad,

155
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: both at home with kids. This is what the data says.

156
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: They all know it, they want it for their own families.

157
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: But if you try to say, hey, we should do

158
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: this more, Hey, maybe we should put policies in place

159
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: that actually make dads more likely to be at home,

160
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: as soon as you raise that issue, oh suddenly they

161
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,359
Speaker 1: don't want to have that conversation.

162
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: So a lot of you want a wigh in. Let

163
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: me hit some of these calls.

164
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that VIP email and let's see here. Who

165
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: should we go to first?

166
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 2: Guys? Is Ralph and Cincinnati. Ralph, what you got for us?

167
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: Hey? Brother, how are you?

168
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: Man?

169
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: I'm fantastic.

170
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 5: So I think we're looking beyond the obvious. And it's

171
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: not a black, a white thing, Hispanic, Asian or even

172
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: a money thing, because there's a lot of very wealthy

173
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 5: people who've divorced and the mother automatically gets the kids

174
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 5: and then we hear the stories about their kids driving

175
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 5: very expensive cars and killing their friends. So let's just

176
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 5: avoid the monetary things. I'm going to ask you a question.

177
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 5: Even if you're a lawyer and you have a lot

178
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: of colleagues that went into family law, I think the

179
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 5: perpetuation of divorce lines their pockets. The thing is, I'm

180
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 5: dealing with it myself. I want fifty to fifty time

181
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: with my kid. I don't want more than fifty to fifty.

182
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 5: That would be unfair. Automatically, the mothers always get custody regardless.

183
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: So if we're going to talk about.

184
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: Allless homes, we need to dig deeper. Some of us

185
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 5: fathers want to be involved. One of us fathers want

186
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: to take care of our boys. We're not allowed to.

187
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: So in Ohio twice the Senators of the Republic of

188
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 5: the Congress whoever pitched this concept, and both times it

189
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: was the Ohio Bar Association that shot it down. Why

190
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 5: because that's their income. How many of your colleagues went

191
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: directly to family practice. Some of them were criminals, but

192
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: then they went through their divorce and saw him which

193
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: they paid an attorney, and said, well, I got to

194
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 5: get my money back. So I just want to give

195
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 5: a shout out to dad's out there that want to

196
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: be in their kids' wives. Don't give up, keep fighting.

197
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: There's a huge movement happening right now. It's kind of

198
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 5: underground even in Britain. This is a global thing. There's

199
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 5: a movement called Parents Against People Against Prance Alienation. There's

200
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: a young man in the United States who started a

201
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: website called TUF the Unmarried Father. Those guys suffered the war.

202
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 5: Are there guys out there that don't want to be

203
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: in the family? Sure?

204
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: Were they baby trapped?

205
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 5: Maybe did they hook up one night and get it

206
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: gir pregnant? Maybe we don't know. But there's a lot

207
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 5: more of us out there that want to be in

208
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 5: our kida lives. But we're already labeled deadbeats just because

209
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: we're not in the house.

210
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. No, it's a great call.

211
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Look, I don't This is why, in general, I think

212
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: any dad that is fighting to be involved in his

213
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: kid's life should be involved in his kid's life right

214
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: his or her kid's life. And I think that there

215
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: are tons of things in the divorce universe that we

216
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: have created that incentivizes divorce and often alienates parents in

217
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: both directions, right. I think there is a religious component

218
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: to this. I mentioned that the great society happens. I

219
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: think also a decline in religion has led to less

220
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: men as heads of households and less men who are

221
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: expecting to take on the responsibility. But I think in

222
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: a divorce context, in an ideal situation, kids would get

223
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: fifty percent of time with their dad in fifty percent

224
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: of times with their mom.

225
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: General rule.

226
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I don't want to dive into everybody's individual

227
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: divorce story, but I do think that one of the constant,

228
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: let me just say this as a lawyer, one of

229
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: the consequences of no fault divorce, right, which is this

230
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: idea of hey, there's nobody at fault, we just don't

231
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: want to be married anymore, is.

232
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: That sometimes fault matters. Right.

233
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: We typically don't have no fault car accidents, right, Just

234
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: think about it. Most people don't want to get into

235
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: a car accident. But if you had a cheap car

236
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and you could just run into a Jaguar and you

237
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: got rewarded because you intentionally caused some sort of an issue,

238
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: the courts would look at you a skance. They would say, well,

239
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: you're more responsible for this, and that's the whole point

240
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: of like traffic law, right, Hey, who did the When

241
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: you say nobody's at fault, A part of me is

242
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: of the opinion that fault does matter. It's very rare

243
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: that fifty percent male fifty percent female is the reason

244
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: for the divorce. And I'm talking about the financial side,

245
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: not so much the child and the parenting side. But

246
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: I do think there should be substantial family court processes

247
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: that would actually go to making things better. I'll take

248
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: some more of your calls when I come back, but

249
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: I do have empathy and sympathy for dads out there

250
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: that are trying to be involved in their kids' lives

251
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: that feel like the entire apparatus of the court system

252
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: is slanted in favor of the mom and they can't

253
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: actually do anything to help raise their kids. That is

254
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: very frustrating, and I have a great deal of empathy

255
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: for anybody involved in that process. So many of us

256
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: have been victim of identity theft or know someone who has.

257
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are

258
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: affecting our lives. Lifelocks online identity theft protection is your

00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: loans taken out in your name or charges racked up

262
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: on credit cards. There's no police force for this kind

263
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,200

Speaker 2: Welcome back in.

275
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: By the way, here's the email I got from a listener.

276
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you're not always going to agree with

277
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: everything I say, but I do think this is what

278
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: I was referencing everything you're talking about on the show

279
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: related to violent crime in every city especially the capital

280
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly blacks. No one wants to address that elephant

281
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: in the room. No one has the balls to say

282
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: it on national radio. I'm tired of hearing about mobs

283
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: and teens. It's blacks almost every time. Stop calling them

284
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: mobs that beat that white lady half to death. They

285
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: were blacks almost every damn time. Okay, I don't care

286
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: who commits violent crime. I understand that perspective, but this

287
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: is what I was saying. It wouldn't make me feel

288
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: better if Hispanic people beat that lady half to death,

289
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: or Asian people beat that lady half to death, or

290
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: white people did.

291
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: When you focus on a race.

292
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: It makes it seem like you don't care about the

293
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: issue at all, or you expect the issue to be

294
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: solved only by the people who are having the problem.

295
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: To me, that's not American. The goal of America should

296
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: be to solve problems for all of us. Because I

297
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to be a victim of a violent crime, whether.

298
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: It's a sixteen year old black kid in Chicago.

299
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: Or a forty three year old mom in Cincinnati, or

300
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: a twenty six year old Hispanic kid in.

301
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: Phoenix.

302
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: I want violent crime to be negligible for everybody. So

303
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: when you wag your finger and say, oh, it's just

304
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: those people doing that thing, you're not solving the problem.

305
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: It's actually just you claiming it isn't an issue because

306
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: somebody has a different color skin than you.

307
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that solves the problem.

308
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to get on a high horse

309
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: and lecture everybody, but violent crime in America should be

310
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: considered a problem for everyone. And I don't think President

311
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Trump's only trying to solve the issue in Washington, d C.

312
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: Because of the race people are involved there. It's because

313
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: he wants our nation's capital be a shining city on

314
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: a hill like I do you do, and I think

315
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: everybody of every race. Does you want to use radios

316
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: to be able to get in touch? I use rapid

317
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: radios get in touch with my ten year old. Don't

318
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: have a cell phone for him yet, but they are

319
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: incredibly cool to use. I'm about to hop in a

320
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: car drive down to Atlanta, go to Atlanta Braves games

321
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: with my kids. We're gonna have the rapid radios in

322
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the car because my kids like to get on them

323
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: and they use them back and forth and they think

324
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. It's also great for catastrophe. Its great

330
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Tim Scott. He's got a new book, One Nation Always

331
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: under God, profiles in Christian courage and Senator I appreciate.

332
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: You coming on with me.

333
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: I believe that part of the motivation for this book,

334
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: according to my team, was you seeing Harrison Butker, who

335
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: is a field goal kicker for the Kansas City Chief

336
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: speaking out about faith and his family relationships. Why did

337
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: that strike you to such a degree, and then did

338
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: that help to motivate you to write this book?

339
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: Yes, certainly, I see the attack on Christianity in our

340
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: country all over the place, and certainly his story got

341
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: so much press. I just kept thinking to myself, why

342
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: is it okay to attack the very foundation of the

343
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: greatest nation on earth and what we were founded upon?

344
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 3: And I just I find it to be just utterly ridiculous.

345
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 3: Clay on the attacks that Christianity has to endure. I

346
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 3: wanted to do something that highlighted and celebrated strong profiles

347
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 3: and Christian courage. Why our country is the greatest country

348
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: on the planet is because of men and women who

349
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: responded to a call in their heart to make something

350
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: and someone better outside of themselves. And I'm so thankful

351
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 3: that we have professional athletes rare these days, who take

352
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: a strong stand for faith, not just at the microphone

353
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: after a game, but literally giving a speech that they

354
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: wanted to literally take tiny pieces out of that speech

355
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: and find a way to make fun of him and

356
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: condemn his faith. Utterly ridiculous to me.

357
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard any of the program.

358
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Probably not, you kind of a busy guy, but we've

359
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: ended up talking quite a lot today about the decline

360
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: of fathers, and I think it in the family household,

361
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: and I think it ties in with the book that

362
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: you were writing, because one reason that might be happening

363
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: is an absence of religion, and a lot of young

364
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: men are honestly going back to church.

365
00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: Now.

366
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you're a dad yet, but I've got

367
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: three boys. I think all the time about how to

368
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: raise them to be strong, good parents. Why do you

369
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: think we're struggling to such an extent with young men,

370
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: and how do we get black, white, Asian Hispanic dads

371
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: back in the family raising strong young men.

372
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: Well, Clay, I think one of the reasons why President

373
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 3: Trump has endorsed the book One Nation Always under God

374
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: is because I focus really on that subject matter by

375
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: telling my own story of growing up in a single

376
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: parent household. And what you just said, Clay, is so important.

377
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: It was so casual when you said it, but it

378
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: was powerful in my ears. One of the scriptures I'm

379
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 3: really excited about is Proverbs tween seven seventeen that says

380
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens the other. The

381
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: best way to do that, Clay, is to have a

382
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: father in the household. You just said very casually that

383
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: you are there for your three sons. Seventy two to

384
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: seventy four percent the numbers escape me of African American

385
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: boys do not have their father in the household. Forty

386
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: of white working class families don't have a father and

387
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: the household that does not tell about the future we

388
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 3: want in this nation. And so you covering fatherhood and

389
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: the importance of a male role model in the house

390
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: is undeniably the most important thing we can do to

391
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: get this nation back on tracks except for faith. Faith

392
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: is a foundation, family, the most powerful single unit in

393
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: the nation. Upon those two, you build an objective standard,

394
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: you apply it fairly to everyone. You get a flourishing

395
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: country called America. Without that very important building blog called

396
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: a family. We as a nation, we don't work, and

397
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: we don't work without a faith filled foundation upon which

398
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: all things stand. So I can spend as much time

399
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: as you want to on the importance that a father

400
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 3: plays in the household. I just became a honistatic just

401
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: a year ago, of three kids that I've beenherited by

402
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 3: getting married, and I got to tell you, it changes

403
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: your focus to the future. It reminds you of the

404
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: importance of a value system, and it underscores why one

405
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: nation always under God and these profiles and Christian courage

406
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: is something that has as much to do about the

407
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: future as it illuminates the past.

408
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: One of the things that we talked about is pre

409
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: you think about things only getting better in the country, right,

410
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: that's the goal. We want everybody's generation to be better

411
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: than it was before.

412
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: But you and I.

413
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: If we went back to nineteen fifty you just ran

414
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: through some of those statistics, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic. I

415
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: know there would have been fewer Asian and Hispanic households,

416
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: but certainly a lot of white and black households. Dad

417
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: would have been home. Right nineteen fifties America, dad was

418
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: home raising his kids. In general, I know there were exceptions.

419
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: There's people out there listening. You yourself just said you

420
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: didn't have a father in the household. This has been

421
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: an issue that's gone on for long time. How do

422
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: you think we change it?

423
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: Right?

424
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: It's one thing if we were getting a little bit

425
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: better every year, But this is one of those things

426
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: where you look back and you say, boy, you know what,

427
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: seventy years ago, kids growing up in America were more

428
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: likely to have a dad in the household.

429
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: What could we do? What should we do?

430
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I don't even see this as remotely political, because I

431
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: think every kid is way better off with a dad.

432
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 2: In the household. What should we be doing to encourage that?

433
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: Well? Number one, we need to remind men of their

434
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: responsibility and not in fathering a child, but by raising

435
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: that child. It's such an important part of it. You know,

436
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: if you think about what a father provides for me.

437
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: The lack of a father made me very disillusioned about

438
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: who I would be growing up. What I could become.

439
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: Someone to teach me how to drive, how to shave.

440
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: That person was absent, and it makes everything more difficult.

441
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: I am thankful that I became a Christian at a

442
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: very young age and I found the father figure needed

443
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 3: in understanding my heavenly Father. And as a result, I

444
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: could go to Ephesians two and read about certain attributes

445
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: or characteristics I would have. I could go to Galatians

446
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: three twenty eight and see that I was adopted in

447
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: to this whole family called the Lord's family. But to

448
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: make it practical in everyday American households, number one, the

449
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: man needs to understand his responsibility. Number two, he needs

450
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: to be present. The way that we encourage both, I think,

451
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: is by reminding men of that importance. I spoke at

452
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: a men's group about two Saturdays go with a couple

453
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: hundred men in the room, and I've talked about you

454
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: can be a male without being a man. A male

455
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: just tells you you know who you are. A from

456
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: a DNA perspective, being a man. They are attributes and

457
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: characteristics that come with being a man. Being responsible, being accountable,

458
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: being self sacrificing, serving, not just leading. These are characteristics

459
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: of being a man. Being a male may be reproductive.

460
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: It may be having a good time on Saturday nights,

461
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: but not showing up on Sunday mornings. Being a man

462
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: says you show up Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

463
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: and Saturday. It's twenty four hours a day, seven days

464
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: a week, three sixty five. That's how a man becomes

465
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: a father. A mail does not necessarily do so.

466
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: The book is One Nation Always under God, profiles in

467
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: Christian courage. We're talking to Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

468
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: All Right, these are big issues, these are important issues,

469
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: but I'm about to put you on the real hot seat.

470
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: Who's going to be better this year? South Carolina or Clemson.

471
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: Listen?

472
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: I know that the polls I can already tell. That's

473
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: a good politician answer to start with. Listen.

474
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know both both hope,

475
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: let me tell people. South Carolina game costs expect to

476
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: be very good. Clemson Tigers also expect to be very good.

477
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: The biggest rivalry in the state of South Carolina. Okay,

478
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: that's the backlog. Now you can dive in.

479
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: Thank you brother, it's plenty of park lay. I know

480
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: the poll suggests that Clemson's going to be better. One

481
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: pole has them at number six. They have South Carolina

482
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 3: at nineteen. As a lifelong game Cox fan, yes, I'm

483
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 3: a crazy politician, I'm just going to tell you the

484
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 3: truth and where I stand. The game Cocks are going

485
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 3: to have a better season. I know it because Shane Beemer.

486
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: He's the man, the myth, and he will be the legend.

487
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: And as a result of that, he will coach his

488
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: team to a nine to three record. And the Clipson

489
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: Tigers they're going to stumble a couple of times and

490
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: they will end up around eight and four, eight and three.

491
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: The difference, of course, is we play in the SEC.

492
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: They play in the ACC. We're not talking basketball, we're

493
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 3: talking football.

494
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: That's actually I thought you would dodge it. I didn't

495
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: think you would pick a side. So I've impressed. But

496
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I love Shane Beemer, really good dude, the head coach

497
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: at South Carolina. I also like Dabo, but I know

498
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: Shane biemerl Lenora sellers. For those of you out there

499
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: who do not know, fabulous quarterback for South Carolina. What

500
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: should people know about him? Getting ready for about three

501
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: weeks from now when Toby's leather you know?

502
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: Interesting enough, he turned down more nil money, Yeah, stay

503
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: at at Carolina than he could have gotten three to

504
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: four million dollars more or someplace else. That tells me.

505
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: Number one, he's a South Line boy born and brad.

506
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: Number two, he's committed, which is an unusual character characteristic.

507
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 3: We'd like to see him fathers as well, by the way.

508
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: And number three, he has a strong run game, but

509
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: he's been he's been improving his past game, and that

510
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: to me is a quintessential quarterback. Can scramble, but thread

511
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: the needle. I don't want him to run too much

512
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: because that's how you get injured. I want him to

513
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: stay in the pocket, scramble a little bit and hit

514
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: that the receiver who's running a ten and out or

515
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: a goal post. And when that happens, I think we'll

516
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: be having a good season. I know as a critical

517
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 3: of my Clemson Tigers, and I'm going to have some

518
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: emails coming in about that. But I gotta just tell you,

519
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: I love Dabbo. Jim Clemens is the best president and

520
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: a university president and all of America. Clemson's president. But

521
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, a man's got to

522
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: be where a man has been his whole life. If

523
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: that's the Carolina game got.

524
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, I actually think and i know there's a

525
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: lot of politicians, and I'm sure you've seen it in

526
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: your career for sure, who try to thread the needle

527
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: and avoid picking aside. I actually think sports fans appreciate

528
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: someone who picks the side more because the traditional politician

529
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: tries to avoid it. Hey, I hope the book does

530
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: really well. I appreciate you coming on with us. You

545
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: any moment, he could have tripped all over himself. Next

00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: thing you know, he's dead, all falling off the roof

Speaker 2: Okay, I thought we had a bunch of serious discussion.

Speaker 1: I appreciate it deluged with emails and calls and all

591
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,520

592
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: funny things here. You can also update me, guys quickly

593
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: here while we're playing these clips, if there's anybody still waiting.

594
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: But first, this is.

595
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Diana Diana Diana Tarassi, whose name I probably messed up.

596
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: She is complaining that she was not paid enough money.

597
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: This is I would just say, in general, I don't

598
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: understand who advises the w NBA players, but boy, oh boy,

599
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: every time they're interviewed, they managed to make themselves sound

600
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: less likable. She says, hey, the jan or was making

601
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: more money than me. This is unacceptable.

602
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 8: Here she is, I'm the best player in the world,

603
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 8: and I have to go to a communist country to

604
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 8: get paid like a capitalist.

605
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 7: Playing in Europe during the WNBA's off season, these women

606
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 7: were going for seven or eight months.

607
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: They were chasing their value.

608
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 8: One time I came back and I was like, man,

609
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 8: my parents have just gotten older and I've missed a

610
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 8: big part of it.

611
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: We weren't making that much money.

612
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 8: So generational wealth was coming from going to Russia every year.

613
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 8: Now we have to come back home and get paid

614
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 8: nothing to play in a harder league, in worse conditions

615
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 8: against the best competition in the world. The janitor at

616
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 8: arena made more than me.

617
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if you heard there at the end,

618
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: the effing janitor at the arena made more than me.

619
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: The janitor is more valuable his skill set, if that

620
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: is true, is actually providing something that his employer values.

621
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: The WNBA, to this day has never made a dollar make.

622
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,880
