I miss you all, and I did get 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: to enjoy listening in as Clay enjoyed the Faucha thon 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: that occurred yesterday. I would I, on the instruction of Council, 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: I am evoking my Fifth Amendment. 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 2: Right. 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: You will notice I am not wearing a mask as 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: I do this very sad exclamation point. So Fauci yesterday 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: steward for all to see, because Clay, you know there's 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: there's invoking the Fifth as I know you were discussing yesterday, 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: when everyone can understand why you would do it. Well, 14 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: you already have a pardon for everything in the past. 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Why can't you just speak honestly about your these things? 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: And it's because all of Fauci's past history now exposed 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: via these missives that he wrote himself, these love letters 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: that he wrote on a government server, which can I 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: also just say, Clay, so dumb. Yes, that is the 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: other part of this that I know you were hitting 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: on yesterday. A lot of all things Fauci, the fact 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: that he thought, I'm just going to write about how 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: handsome I am and how much Julia Roberts just had 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: a twinkle in her eye when I was telling her 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: about mitigation measures. This guy truly delusional. And now I 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: have to say the mockery that any person can see 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: as a result of all this, this is what is needed. 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: Because they were gonna hold out on all of this 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: and say, oh, but the science is still with Fauci, 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, Clay, the defense in recent years had been 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: it was a fog of war situation. It was there's 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: no fog of war when you're writing about how you're 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: the most famous person in the world, while you're telling 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: everybody if they hug Grandma, you're gonna kill her. You 35 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: know what I mean, there's no fog of war defense 36 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: there the whole process. 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: I do think we've talked a lot about how history 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 3: is going to handle COVID. I think Fauci on some 39 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: level is starting to realize, oh wait, I'm gonna be 40 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 3: the bad guy of this story. You know, like you 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: always have that question, do the villains of history totally 42 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: understand that they'll be the villains of history because one 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: of the great you know, sort of cliches of history 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: is that the winners write history, so we don't really know. 45 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: I mean, there's probably a lot of good guys that 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: end up losing. Bad guys write them their cast differently. 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: I mean Shakespeare is a great example of this in 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: the way that his history plays defined what we think 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 3: oftentimes about English kings, Scottish kings, all these different things. 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: But really, when you look at. 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: This, I think I felt like there was a little 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: bit of a realization behind Fauci's stony, indignant, constant recitation 53 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: one hundred and eleven times of his fifth Amendment. I 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: felt like buck part of him was starting to recognize, oh, 55 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: wait a minute, I'm going to be the bad guy. 56 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: And he's eighty five years old, and let's say he 57 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: lives fifteen more years. You and I, hopefully and many 58 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: of our listeners are going to live long enough for 59 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: the history of COVID to start to be written. And 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: I think the idea that Anthony Fauci's diary indicated was 61 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: that he believed he was going to be the hero. 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: I think he's starting to recognize, wait, I'm going to 63 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: be the villain, and this is not going to be 64 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: some story of incredible success that I was the father of. Instead, 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to be the guy who got paddle borders 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: arrested on the ocean that people can't believe is real 67 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: in the decades to come. 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Isn't it. In Batman, the Dark Knight Rise is when 69 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: he says, die a hero, or live long enough to 70 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: see yourself the villain. Yeah, Fauci is seeing himself the villain. 71 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: And I really think that the only way that this 72 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: could have broken through as it did yesterday in that 73 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: hearing was the fact that you cannot explain. They can 74 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: argue the science all day, They can argue whose decision 75 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: everything was and everything else. You know, Clay, if you're 76 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: the four star general during a war and you know 77 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: you're like having an affair with a subordinate and all, 78 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: and you're writing things about how you know you want 79 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: to be on CNN and it's a parent that you're 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: not showing up for like funerals of your soldiers, there's 81 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: no excuse for that. I understand this is different. It's 82 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: not military, but there is a similar sense of you 83 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: were the captain of the ship here, the four star 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: general in this metaphor, and you were really more concerned 85 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: at the peak, at the worst of COVID, you were 86 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: obsessed with how much attention you were getting, and you 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: wrote it down and there's no debate about it. So 88 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: Fauci as a megalomaniac is no longer a point of argument, 89 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: and that takes it even further than just he got 90 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: some stuff wrong, because you know what they were saying 91 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: the whole time was he did his best. Yes, he 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: did his best based on and we knew that was 93 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: a lie. You knew what I knew it. We've been 94 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: talking about this for years, but this actually was the 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: achilles heel for him. Oh No, he really was obsessed 96 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: with himself, and no one can argue that anymore one 97 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 98 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: I also think the other thing that the diary reflects 99 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: Buck is he can't claim he wasn't the decider. All 100 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: of life comes down to you have experienced it, no 101 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: matter what you do. Buck, you had to talk about 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: what the rules are of a condo board. Anybody out 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: there that's tried to get something built and you've had 104 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: to go through that that process. The question of who's 105 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: the decider is ultimately the thing that matters most. Right, 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: there's lots of any big company has one hundred and 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: sixty eight vice presidents of something that really can't do much, 108 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: and ultimately it lands on the CEO's desk. Remember Harry 109 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: Truman had the great memorable the buck stops here and 110 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 3: on the other side, I think it said, I'm from 111 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: Missouri or something like that. The president is the ultimate 112 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: decider in this situation. I think with Fauci's diary, what 113 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 3: you see is he was actually the ultimate decider. And 114 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: all the people out there that are concerned about democracy 115 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: and everything else, so many people that are elected decided 116 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: that a random employee inside of our government who was 117 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: taxpayer funded would decide multi trillion dollar outcomes when it 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: came to state level elections and sorry to decisions, Fauci 119 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: was the decider. He bragged about New York and California 120 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: shutting down because of his private conversations. Here's another thing, 121 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: if you want a positive, Buck, Fauci did allow Ron 122 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: DeSantis to become the most successful governor of the COVID era. 123 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: And I sent out a tweet about this and I 124 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: kind of talk we had him on yesterday. But Buck, 125 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: you are a great example of this. I'm in Florida 126 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: right now doing the show. Think about what would have 127 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: happened in twenty eighteen if Andrew Gillim gay prostitute, sleeping 128 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: with drug addicted felon. I believe he's a felon. If 129 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: he's not, he's been charged with felon, he's to my understanding, 130 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: Andrew Gillam had been elected in twenty eighteen, buck he 131 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: would have shut down Florida just like New York and California. 132 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: And you can say, well, Georgia and Brian Kemp and 133 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: maybe Tennessee and Bill Lee and Greg Abbot in Texas, 134 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: maybe they would have stood maybe or maybe without DeSantis 135 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: taking the slings and arrows of shutting, refusing to shut 136 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: down a big populated state, maybe maybe Fauci would have 137 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: been even more successful. And so ultimately Florida reaped the benefits. 138 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: And I think DeSantis's tenure in office will redown throughout 139 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: the COVID era as the way that we should have 140 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: responded to COVID and Fauci is going to be the 141 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: great villain. So in many ways, DeSantis, and also on 142 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: a smaller level, people like you and me who found 143 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: a big audience by just being sane in a time 144 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: when everybody else lost their minds. Fauci is going to 145 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: be the great villain of COVID. I think increasingly you 146 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: can see the Ron DeSantis is of the world, the 147 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: Brian Kemps, the Bill LEAs, the Greg Abbotts, to a 148 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: certain extent, red state governors who said no, they're going 149 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: to continue, and I mean populated red state governors because 150 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: a lot of red state governors in Western states, they 151 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 3: don't have the same huge collection of population in terms 152 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: of everybody being in a dense area like bigger states would. 153 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: I think you can start to see the first draft 154 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: of history and the impact that all of this is 155 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: going to have, and Fauci is not going to come 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: off well. 157 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: It took a long time, but we did. We did 158 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: get some Fauci accountability, at least on the public record. 159 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: And I really appreciate that Ran Paul stayed on this 160 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: as long as he did and refused to let this 161 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: go because, yeah, we could find the data. We can 162 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: find all these different things, finding out about what a 163 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: megalomaniac and what a narcissistic fool during a time of 164 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: extreme suffering for the country Fauci was that that is, 165 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: it's unforgivable and it's also not something that can be dismissed. 166 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: They can dismiss all the they can dismiss. Oh, no, 167 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: one knew it was hard. We tried, we tried, no, no, no. 168 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: And I'm not even getting into the fact that he 169 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: knew that it wasn't as deadly. And I mean, there's 170 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things. But yeah, that that also 171 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: came out from this. So he lied about everything. They're 172 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: not going to accept that he lied about everything. They're 173 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: going to say, oh, it was tough. He's making judgment calls. 174 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: The fact that he is gushing about the celebrities. Who 175 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: why does he have time to talk to celebrities when 176 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: he's the most important. One of the things you'd like 177 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: to think that this guy is, you know, in the 178 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: office until two o'clock in the morning, calling every every 179 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: major hospital system and getting the latest data. He's doing 180 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: celebrity zooms. And also, why is it the celebrities have 181 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: access to the top doctor. There's all these things you 182 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: can talk about this, so I thought it was I 183 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: thought it was great that this information came out. I 184 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: would just point out we invited doctor Fauci on the 185 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: program for years. He never had time for us. But 186 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: somehow he could always manage to take the phone call 187 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: from Bette Midler or Julia Roberts. Here's something that I 188 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: would ask star this, write it down, use it if 189 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: you still are hearing people in your life defend Fauci 190 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: Buck Here's to me, this really kind of sums it up. 191 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden gave him a ten year pardon, a ten 192 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: year pardon from base twenty fourteen, all the way through 193 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: what January of twenty five, right when Biden left office 194 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: ten plus years. Everything that Fauci did is protected, even 195 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: though we know that he committed I think a lot 196 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: of crimes during that time, lied about him all those things. Okay, 197 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: he had a ten year pardon, and he still needed 198 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: to invoke the Fifth Amendment one hundred and eleven times 199 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: while testifying in front of Congress. Just a simple question 200 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: for everybody out there, has anyone ever heard of someone 201 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: who is completely innocent of all crimes that needs a 202 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: ten year pardon and then, as if that were not enough, 203 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: also needs to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights one hundred 204 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: and eleven times. The ten year pardon by itself was 205 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: not enough. This guy is guilty of sin Fauci, by 206 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: the way, may according to Senator Ran Paul, not entirely 207 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: be protected from accountability. This is cut one. 208 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 4: Listen, We'll vote to hold him in contemptual that is 209 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: a felony, and he can be prosecuted. 210 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: We can't prosecute him, but we refer him to the 211 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. 212 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 4: So there is a question, can you plead the Fifth 213 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 4: Amendment when you've been pardoned, if you've already been granted immunity. 214 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: How can you be seeking immunity from. 215 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 4: Self incrimination if you've already been granted immunity. So at 216 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: the very end, I ask him the very specific question 217 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 4: within the parameters of your pardon. This is a question 218 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 4: within the parameters of your pardon, did you destroy records? 219 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: And who refused to answer that? So a court will 220 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: have to decide. The Department of Justice has to be 221 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 4: convinced to take the case, and then the court will 222 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 4: have to decide does his Fifth Amendment privilege apply when 223 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: he has a pardon. This has been debated across the internet, 224 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: across the country, and we're going to find out an answer. 225 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: Can we have the Honorable Judge Clay on the other 226 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: side of this break give his legal analyze. Yes, the 227 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Honorable Judge Clay Travis will stand in session and analyze 228 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: that argument that Ran Paul just made. And I promise 229 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: weren't planning this actually a perfect preview for Clay Travis 230 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: Law at dot com.

So Fauci 238 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: is paying at least six thousand dollars to those six 239 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: attorneys and they're all working hard for him.

There's a lot in 321 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 6: here for the student athletes, and a lot has gone 322 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 6: into this thing to try to address all the major. 323 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: Issues, Clay, that you and I have talked about before. 324 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: You've got this. 325 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 6: You know, you got these eligibile ability issues, You've got 326 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 6: the governance issue, You've got the one time transfer.

That was 330 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 6: a big part of what these negotiations have been about. 331 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 6: So I would say today is a very important day 332 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 6: because in order for us to do this, next week, 333 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 6: which a very important week. Theoretically it could be one 334 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 6: of the last weeks we're up here. I don't know. 335 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 6: I mean, we could stay into August. I support that, 336 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 6: but next week's a very important week. And if that's 337 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 6: the case, we got to get it kind of teed 338 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 6: up today, and so these meetings are really important and 339 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 6: why these conversations have been very timely and intense. 340 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: Okay, I'll follow up on that. I don't want to 341 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: get you into Petit or Sankee private conversations, but in general, 342 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: are you optimistic that you're going to be able to 343 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 3: get their sign on at this point? 344 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: I know you still got to wait on the meetings. 345 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: Uh, but how would you assess your optimism level to 346 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: uh right now at this exact moment. 347 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: Uh, this is very much like real time. I've been 348 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: hopeful all along. 349 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 6: I think that this is Look, there are things in 350 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 6: this with something that this is this complex and you know, 351 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 6: literally impacts you know, five hundred thousand student athletes and 352 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 6: all these institutions that people love and root for, and 353 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 6: all these kind of issues at play. This bill is 354 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 6: an effort to try to reach a compromise of all 355 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 6: the various and competing positions on it. So it's not perfect, 356 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 6: Like there's things in here that I wish were a 357 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 6: little bit different. And I'm sure that the conferences, the 358 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 6: smaller conferences, the bigger conference is the same thing. But 359 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 6: I do think this it's at a place right now 360 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 6: where we need to move because it's not going to 361 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 6: get any better and another year or two of this 362 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 6: madness we see right now, it's just not sustainable. Even 363 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 6: the schools that are choosing to compete and have rosters 364 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 6: that are fifty five or sixty million for football alone, 365 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 6: which even though there's a cap of twenty and a 366 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 6: half million, they will freely admit. 367 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: To you that this is not a good situation. 368 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 6: The constant movement's not good for graduation rates if you're 369 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 6: transferring four or five times. So I think we need 370 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 6: to provide some stability, and I think this bill as 371 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 6: it stands out right now is the best effort to 372 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 6: do it. So I am hopeful, but we're going to 373 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 6: find out real soon in the next few hours. 374 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Cenator Schmid, appreciate you being with us. I wanted to 375 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: move our ta if I could do another aspect of 376 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: the Senate, and that has to do with the Judiciary 377 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: Committee postponing this postponing a scheduled vote to advance Todd 378 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: Blanche's nomination. So we know there are a couple of 379 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: Republican Senators Cornyn and Tom Tillis who are let's just say, 380 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: if he at this stage of the game, what do 381 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: you think is going to happen here? And what are 382 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: those two guys thinking. 383 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 6: Well, they're both on the Judiciary Committee, so am I 384 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 6: and you know they've raised each one of them kind 385 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 6: of a separate issue. I think Senator Tillis wants Todd 386 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 6: Blanche to meet with some of the victims I've seen victims. 387 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 6: I think that was his sort of his ask, and 388 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 6: I think that's gone relatively well. I have not spoken 389 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 6: directly with Tom about that, but I feel like that's 390 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 6: moving along. 391 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: Center. 392 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 6: Cornyn has an issue with this some of the legal 393 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 6: matters that had been before the Department of Justice related 394 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 6: to President Trump, and so you know, I'm hopeful that 395 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 6: they can work that out to the extent that it 396 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 6: can be worked out. I think Todd is eminently qualified. 397 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 6: Todd Blanche is eminently qualified. He's done a very good 398 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 6: job I think of refocusing the Department from the Biden 399 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 6: years to taking on violent crime. And you look at 400 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 6: this anti fraud effort that they have across the country 401 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 6: Minneapolis and California, those are really important things for the 402 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 6: Department of Justice to be focused on and have an 403 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 6: attorney General. 404 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: Who's serious. So he's the acting age. 405 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 6: I mean, no matter what happens, he's going to remain 406 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 6: the attorney general, the acting attorney General. I just think 407 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 6: it would be an important thing for us to do 408 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 6: to move them forward and have him confirmed in front 409 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 6: of the full Senate. 410 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: So I know, sorry, go ahead, no, I was just 411 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: going to say, building on that question with Buck, President 412 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: Trump said, Hey, if these guys won't get on board, 413 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: we'll just wait. You probably know this. I don't know 414 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 3: the answer off the top of my head. Let's say 415 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 3: that the nomination doesn't get confirmed and we wait for 416 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: the election, and then god forbid. Up in a situation 417 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 3: where Democrats take back control of the Senate, getting anyone 418 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 3: confirmed then, as you know, becomes very very difficult. How 419 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 3: long could Todd blanche serve as acting attorney General? 420 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: Is there a limit on that? How would that play out? 421 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 6: Well, according to recent precedent, I'm gonna I'm gonna blank 422 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 6: on the cabinet member that Biden had that served out 423 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 6: as acting throughout the term. I mean, he can basically 424 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 6: be the acting Attorney general I think for almost all 425 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 6: of the remaining Trump term. 426 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: But I think you know, it's always. 427 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 6: Better to have, you know, a position like that confirmed 428 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 6: by the United States Senate. I think that's an important 429 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 6: thing for us to do because we're in that personnel 430 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 6: business and he's eminently qualified. No one disputes that. I think, 431 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 6: you know, a couple of these issues it's centers are addressing. 432 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 6: There kind of one offs from that and not related 433 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 6: to as qualifications. And my hope is that they can 434 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 6: figure all that out and we can move forward on 435 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 6: Todd Blanche next week. As I mentioned, next week's a 436 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 6: very important week because September, guys, is going to be 437 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 6: I think it's going to be very messy. The Democrat 438 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 6: want to shut the government down, that is on September thirtieth. 439 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 6: I think they view it as a political effort for 440 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 6: them to shut it down. 441 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: And is this going to be for open border Center. 442 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: They're going to want, you know, no more eyes yet. Yeah, Oh, 443 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: it'll be. I mean, I'm guessing it. 444 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: May be the whole thing. 445 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 6: It may be the whole thing, it may be all 446 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 6: of government, it may be TSA again, it may you know, 447 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 6: I don't know what it's going to be, but I 448 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 6: think it's going to be something. 449 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: I just that's just sort of how I see it. 450 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 6: Some people are more optimistic, but I've seen what the 451 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 6: Democrats the game plan is. They're obstructionists and they want 452 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 6: chaos and they think chaos helps them, And I hope 453 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 6: the American people view it differently. But we got to 454 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 6: do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen 455 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 6: by September thirtieth. 456 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: I know, if you're not from New York City, maybe 457 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: Missouri doesn't think of itself as like right next door 458 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: to Michigan, but I do because I'm from New York. 459 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: What do you think about the mission? What do you 460 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: think about the Missigan? You're a flyover? 461 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: Come on? 462 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: What do you I mean? You guys are close enough, right, 463 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: you probably have college teams that travel to play each. 464 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: Other hundreds of miles hundreds of miles away. 465 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: But yes, that is a perfect that's a perfect lead 466 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 3: in for a New York City guy. 467 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: Ready, at least I'm self aware. At least I'm self 468 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: aware about it. So, Michigan Senate race super important, Main 469 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Senate race super important? Can you just weigh in on 470 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: how you feel about Republicans holding the majority and what 471 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: do you think the key issues are going to be 472 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: in some of those places. 473 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 6: I see now why you did. There's some symmetry. There 474 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 6: are all states that start with M. 475 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: There you go. 476 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 6: So I feel pretty good about the Senate, the map, 477 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 6: Susan Collins. I mean, they had the Graham Platner experiment 478 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 6: that totally you know, was as disastrous him in a 479 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 6: porta potty, I suppose, so that's gone. I think she's 480 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 6: much better positioned now than where things were a month 481 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 6: and a half or so ago. I mean, if they 482 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 6: elect this the guy who or the LSI ed guys 483 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 6: in the lead in Michigan, that is very much in 484 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 6: play where a year ago, I don't think a lot 485 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 6: of people would have thought we were gonna have a 486 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 6: chance be competitive and maybe win. So I do think 487 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 6: that is probably by way of contrast for us, these 488 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 6: radical sort of DSA members is good for us electorally. 489 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 6: I think it's terrible for the country that the Democrats 490 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 6: are actually electing these people to be their nominees in 491 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 6: a general election, you know, because eventually these people are 492 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 6: gonna they're gonna start winning general elections and it won't 493 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: be limited to you know, New York where you're from, 494 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 6: right where the craziness and the hammer and sickle wave 495 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 6: we saw a month ago. So I do think it 496 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 6: improves our chances if that person's the nominee, but I 497 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 6: don't think it's good for the country. I think we 498 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 6: win Maine. New Hampshire's in play for us, which is good. 499 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 6: North Carolina is going to be tough, and Michigan could 500 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 6: be in play as well. 501 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: Ohio. I think we're gonna be fine in Ohio. 502 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 6: Shared Brown is kind of a retread career politician, and 503 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 6: John houstaid should be okay there. 504 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 3: I know that you Uh, as Attorney General of Missouri, 505 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: helped to hold Fauci and the Biden administration more accountable 506 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: than almost any attorney general did in the country. I'm 507 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 3: curious what you thought of Fauci taking Fifth Amendment one 508 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: hundred and eleven times during that hearing yesterday, how you 509 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 3: would assess any legality of pursuing Fauci might look going 510 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 3: forward in the wake of that, and just as a 511 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: general context, I know it's been six years, Buck and 512 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 3: I are still furious. Almost everybody out there listening to 513 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 3: us right now is still furious over what left wingers 514 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 3: Fauci led did to us during that time. 515 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: How would you assess. 516 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 3: Where we are right now, what your thoughts were on 517 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 3: that hearing, and where we might go going forward. 518 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 6: I'm with you, guys. I think for me, when I 519 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 6: was Attorney General in that time, it was a It 520 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 6: opened up my eyes to what the left was capable 521 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 6: of if they had a little bit of power, or 522 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 6: just an excuse like that bulldozing sand, you know, into 523 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 6: these skate parks, police tape around playgrounds, forcing the masking 524 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 6: of five year olds in school. 525 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: It's why we sued the school districts. 526 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 6: It's why we sued the Bide administration over the shot 527 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 6: and all those sorts of things. I think we should 528 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 6: never forget what that looked like and what that actually was. 529 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 6: And Fauci was the crown prince of all that, with 530 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 6: his candles and his bobble heads, right. I think it's 531 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 6: it reminded me. I took his deposition in the Missouri 532 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 6: versus Biden lawsuit. He sat across the table as smug 533 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 6: as could be, kind of like he was yesterday. He 534 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 6: had a little he had less to say yesterday because 535 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 6: he was taking the Fifth Amendment. But I think in 536 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 6: our deposition of him, he said, I don't recall like 537 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy times as well. 538 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: So this guy who proclaimed to be. 539 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 6: The science and this all knowing, you know, expert, suddenly 540 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 6: doesn't have a whole lot to say now because I 541 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 6: think he knows he's been exposed to some legal jeopardy. 542 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 6: Regardless of the autopen pardon, there could be state issues 543 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 6: out there we're going to see. But this guy needs 544 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 6: to be held accountable. This is what abuse looks like. 545 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 6: This is what the other ing of our minute or 546 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 6: you know, fellow countrymen was alike. In that era, you 547 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 6: couldn't question anything. The government was coming after you to 548 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 6: censor you with big tech giants. This was Orwellian and 549 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 6: it happened, and we can't memory hold it. I'm with you, 550 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 6: like a normal person is still pissed about this thing. 551 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 6: It should be and Faucu was the face of it. 552 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 6: So I hope there's there's some accountability. We did our 553 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: best in my time as AG. Hopefully some other ags 554 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 6: or other people can can take up the charge here 555 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 6: because it was just insulting to see him sit there 556 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 6: yesterday and take the fifth on everything. 557 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: Senator Schmidt, great stuff, sir, thank you so much. 558 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 2: All right, guys, take care. 559 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: The one part of your home where maintenance cannot be 560 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: deferred is your roof.

Mister Gradosky, so many things to talk to 595 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: you about. Let's start with mass Let's start with mass immigration. 596 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Have you seen this situation in the footage going viral? 597 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: I know we don't talk about Spain very much, but 598 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: uh is it pronounce sayuta? I don't know you can 599 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: know how to pronounce it in Morocco, where you have 600 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: the African migrants just completely overwhelming. There's this little Spanish 601 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: enclave and they're just they're just like running through the 602 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: fence basically to get onto what is technically Spanish territory. 603 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: After the Spanish Prime minister, I think, signed an amnesty 604 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: for a million people that are in the country illegally. 605 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: So things are have you seen this? Things are getting 606 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: crazy over there. 607 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was as Pedro Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Originally 608 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 8: he sets me for five hundred thousand and then it 609 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 8: was a million. Now it's estimated to be three million, 610 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 8: which Spain is not a large country. Three million is 611 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 8: about eight percent of the population, so it is a 612 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 8: tremendous amnesty. And bigger problem is that it's part of 613 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 8: Spain is part of the Shanngen Agreement, which means that 614 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 8: if you are a resident of Spain and legally there, 615 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 8: you can go to any other country in the EU 616 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 8: without a passport. So we're talking that possibly of millions 617 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 8: of people going not only to Italy, but end up 618 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 8: in Germany and Ireland and Sweden, quite like it happened 619 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 8: back in twenty fifteen. So not only is this causing 620 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 8: backlash in his own country, but Georgia Maloney and other 621 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 8: prime ministers around Europe are pushing back against his amnesty plan. 622 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 3: Ryan, Yeah, that clip is what will happen if Democrats 623 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: in back up in power again. It looks like when 624 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: Bill Malugin was down at Eagle Pass, Texas and we 625 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: saw tens of thousands of people what I would point out, Ryan, 626 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw it too. I think I saw 627 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: Matt Sorter among others, posting about this. Everybody coming in 628 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: is young and male. People like say, oh, this is 629 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: about trying to take care of families. There's no women, 630 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: there's no children storming across the border there right now. 631 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: It's all military age males. And I do think that's 632 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 3: worth reiterating again and again. Overwhelmingly, we are not seeing 633 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: families come. We're seeing young men come. 634 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: When you look, Ryan, let's go into the current political environment. Tuesday. 635 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 3: I was at a fundraiser last night for Jimmy patronis 636 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 3: awesome guy represents the Florida first District, basically right across 637 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: the street. He was having a fundraiser doing great work. 638 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: One of the guys there is working on the Michigan 639 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 3: Senate campaign. My wife is from Michigan. This is one 640 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: that we've talked about a lot on this program. We 641 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: have followed it closely. They had their final debate. Tuesday 642 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 3: is the primary. We will be talking about a great deal. 643 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 3: Abdul l Sayed is pulling away from Hailey Stevens and 644 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 3: appears to be a substantial favorite going into the primary 645 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Do you buy if l Sayed wins that 646 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 3: Mike Rodgers, who is going to be the Republican nominee, 647 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 3: has a very good chance to win. How does that 648 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 3: change your calculus. We'll dive into some other parts of 649 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: the Senate maybe a bit later in the conversation here, 650 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 3: but tell me about Michigan with the primary Tuesday. 651 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, Haley Stevens is fake accent with a stick it 652 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 8: to them, is not really getting what people thought that would. 653 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 8: Here's the problem with Haley Stephens. It's not just polling. 654 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 8: Early voting data is showing that white, college educated and 655 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 8: Muslim populations in the state are voting at much higher 656 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 8: percentages than her basis, which is predominantly black areas in 657 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 8: the Detroit area. Detroit's black areas have had substantially lower turnouts, 658 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 8: so are the rural areas. And the bigger problem with 659 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 8: Michigan with Democrats period is that the white working class 660 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 8: people who would normally back at Haley Stevens are all Republicans. Now, 661 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 8: Mike Rogers is probably polling close to even against Abdullah Sayet. 662 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 8: He's a very extreme candidate. He's campaigning with the podcaster 663 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 8: Hassan Piker, who said that Americans deserve nine to eleven. However, 664 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 8: it is a bad year for Republicans. It is a 665 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 8: year in a state that is fifty to fifty voted 666 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 8: a little more for Trump than for Kamalaw. It is 667 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 8: looking like a D plus seven, D plus eight year. 668 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 8: The generic ballot is leaving, leaving the train and is 669 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 8: really sticking to Democrats. So in an environment like that, 670 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 8: even bad candidates can win. Even Francesca Haung, who is, 671 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 8: you know, nuts beyond belief over in Wisconsin, she could 672 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 8: probably win in an environment like this. It's just becoming 673 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 8: it's looking more and more like a wave for Democrat 674 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 8: kind of year. 675 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: So, Ran, what are some of the variables between now 676 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: and election day that you feel like you're going to 677 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: be the primary determinants about whether Republicans hold the House? 678 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: And Republicans hold the Senate. What are some of the 679 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 1: prime you know, the primary levers that depending on which 680 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: way they go, we're going to either be celebrating or 681 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: having a rough one. 682 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 8: Well, you know, we talked several weeks or several months 683 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 8: ago at this point about the Iran war and oil 684 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 8: prices and food prices, and we all said, if it 685 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 8: goes down by the end of summer, by midsummer, we'll 686 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 8: be Republicans will be fine. And when it started dipping 687 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 8: during the negotiations, Republican numbers did substantially improve. Republicans are 688 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 8: doing better than Trump's doing. Trump'son close to George W. 689 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 8: Bush territory as far as Poland goes. However, we're at 690 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 8: the end of summer now. People kids are going back 691 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 8: to school in the South like next week, and oil 692 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 8: prices are back up, and Republican Democrats numbers are starting 693 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 8: to search. At the end of the day, it comes 694 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 8: down to food prices, oil prices, and at the Iran 695 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 8: war is wrapped up or not. I mean, it's really 696 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 8: just that is the margin in a lot of states 697 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 8: where it's going to matter. A lot of people defy 698 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 8: political gravity with people like Susan Collins and others. Brian Fitzpatrick, 699 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 8: a congressman in Pennsylvania. If you're looking at a D 700 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 8: plus seven D plus eight year, it's going to be 701 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 8: almost impossible for any of these people who defy gravity, 702 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 8: who win in Democrats states and districts, to hold on. 703 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's pretend that it's going to be hard. 704 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 3: Let's just say acknowledge Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia, which are 705 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 3: probably Ryan. You can disagree with me if you would 706 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 3: point to any other place, probably the only three states 707 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 3: where Republicans could say, hey, we have a chance of 708 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 3: taking a Democrat seat. That's where Democrats hold it right now. 709 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 3: If none of those happened, right, we hope they do. 710 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 3: But if none of those were to happen, then you 711 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 3: flip back to Okay, what about Texas? 712 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: What about Iowa? 713 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 3: What about you know, you start to run through a 714 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 3: bunch of these other Alaska battleground states, Ohio, how confident 715 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 3: are you that Republicans can get to at least fifty That. 716 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: Would mean lose three. 717 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 3: You can afford to lose three and still have the 718 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 3: tie break for you lose control of the Senate. What's 719 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 3: going to happen there. How do you feel about Republican 720 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 3: held seats. 721 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 8: Well, the first you have a Collins, who is who's 722 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 8: defied gravity to mention in May two? Yeah, no notice, Okay, 723 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 8: she is the one who's in a Democrat seat. She's 724 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 8: very endangered, but she is extremely popular among independents and 725 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 8: some Democratic women. She's in a tough battle this year though. 726 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 8: North Carolina is the other really you know important one. 727 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 8: Former Governor Roy Cooper is beating Michael Wattley, the Republican 728 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 8: backing candidate, by nine points in the latest Fox News poll. 729 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 8: The good thing of Republicans after the two states, which 730 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 8: is one a Democrat wants a swing state, you get 731 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 8: to states where Trump won all by double digits. So 732 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 8: the ability to win past those two states becomes harder 733 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 8: and harder and harder for Democrats. That's the one key 734 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 8: thing when you mentioned Texas. If you look at where 735 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 8: people are reserving cash reserves for ads almost no. I 736 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 8: think seven hundred thousand run for Democrats in Texas and 737 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 8: none one for Republicans in Texas. There's multiple reasons for this. 738 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 8: I have a little insight information. You know, Republicans in 739 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 8: the Senate really, allegedly really wanted John Cornyn to be 740 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 8: the nominee. They did not want Ken Pax to be 741 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 8: the nominee, and they basically told the Trump's team in 742 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 8: the White House or in the political side, saying, if 743 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 8: he's a nominee, he's all your problem. We're not taking it. 744 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 8: But the other problem is that Texas is twenty media markets. 745 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 8: It's the biggest media market in the entire country. So 746 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 8: to invest in Texas requires more money than any other states, 747 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 8: and it's a hard lift for Democrats. That's why they 748 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 8: would rather invest in Iowa and Ohio, in Alaska and 749 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 8: other places than invest in Texas. It's just really expensive 750 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 8: as far as Iowa, Ohio and Alaska goes. Ohio is 751 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 8: a tough state. But John, you say, is a fairly 752 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 8: unknown lieutenant governor relatively to Sherid Brown, who's the Democrat nominee, 753 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 8: former Senator, Iowa looks like it's turning more and more 754 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 8: towards Republicans favor Alaska. The Democrat Mary Patola from her 755 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 8: congressman who lost, she has an immense burn rate. She's 756 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 8: raising a lot of money, but she's blowing through it 757 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 8: very very early. So I feel decently. Okay about Alaska 758 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 8: given how much money she's blowing early on, Ohio is 759 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 8: the one that I would probably be looking at. But 760 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 8: in that case it would probably look like a fifty 761 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 8: one to forty nine map for Republicans. 762 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: Worst case scenario, anything Ryan that you're looking at. In 763 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: terms of Democrats sort of shifting focus right now to 764 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 1: reposition themselves based on the latest or you know, where 765 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: are they going in heaviest and hardest thinking they actually 766 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: have a real shot at a pickup? 767 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, Democrats are kind of playing it more 768 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 8: so than usual. The one thing that they're doing is 769 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 8: very interesting is the Democratic nominees have dropped out of 770 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 8: the Nebraska and Idaho Senate race. And what is happening 771 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 8: is two independents who are saying, we don't know who 772 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 8: are going to caucus with. They're likely going to caucus 773 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 8: with Democrats. They are the official nominees, and they're trying 774 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 8: to run candidates in red states who don't have the 775 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 8: stink of the Democratic brand on them to make these 776 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 8: races competitive. I mean, over an Idaho senator race is 777 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 8: an older man, he is over eighty years old. He's 778 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 8: running for his I think fourth term in the Senate, 779 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 8: and you know, there's a lot of questions over whether 780 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 8: he should be running at this age. His poll numbers 781 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 8: have tied in substantially in some polls, but who knows. 782 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 8: It is Idaho. It is a very very red state. 783 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 8: That's their game plan though, is to run these independent 784 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 8: candidates in these very red states, hoping they can narrow 785 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 8: it as long as there's no Democrat on the ballot. 786 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 8: So we'll see if it plays out well. 787 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: So, Ryan, you might have noticed from well one, we're 788 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: friends and we just talk randomly, but also from my 789 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: ex account and some recent discussions on the show, I 790 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: am paying attention to the fact that, and I really 791 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm ready to tell people right now please do not 792 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: email me and say don't complain about the weather. The 793 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: weather hasn't gotten one hundred percent worse for the airlines 794 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: in the last two years, but three hour plus delays have. 795 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: And this is something we have told would be addressed 796 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: and would get better. We were all mocking Buddha Judge 797 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,879 Speaker 1: for being mia and things being rough. We were told 798 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: they were going to be fixed. They have not been 799 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: fixed even a little bit. And it's a big annoying 800 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: pain in the butt for millions of people who fly, 801 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 1: especially if you fly on a regular basis. I had 802 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: a super irritating flight story recently. I've heard a lot 803 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: of other people. You had one that you wanted to share, 804 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: But can you all at the end of it, can 805 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: you also tell us I think it's fair to say 806 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: that the Trump administration should focus and do more on this, 807 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: But go ahead. 808 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 8: I had to fly from New Orleans to Harrisburg, not 809 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 8: an easy flight with one connecting thing. I land in 810 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 8: Detroit four hour delay. The woman taking the tickets at 811 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 8: the fourth hour gives this long, rambling speech on the 812 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 8: microphone and says, I'm sorry, y'all, I don't even know 813 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,359 Speaker 8: where I am right now. I'm so tired. I pray 814 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 8: for me as I pray for you. Something you do 815 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 8: not want to hear before you get on a plane. 816 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 8: Get to Parisburg. I to fly the next day. I 817 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 8: ended up driving across three different states to find a 818 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 8: plane with a direct flight because my other flight was canceled. Overall, 819 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 8: six flights, five states, sixty hours of insanity, only for 820 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 8: the last flight to be canceled, and had to sleep 821 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 8: over in a different hotel to fly out the next morning. 822 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 8: It costs over one thousand dollars because being in such 823 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,879 Speaker 8: a small place at the time, The next available flight 824 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 8: was like two days later. It was truly insane, incredibly frustrating. 825 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 8: There was a bit of a weather problem, but I'm sorry, 826 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 8: it's not that bad. There has been weather before and 827 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 8: and air American Airlines was shut down because of the 828 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 8: it problem. But the fact that you have to wait 829 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 8: in the airport for four hours sometimes on to find out, Hey, 830 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 8: your flight's canceled is infuriating. Just tell me ahead of 831 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 8: time so I can make plans. But there was no 832 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 8: There's just lack of communication and understaffing that is insane 833 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 8: in the airlines right now. Because airlines are banks who 834 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 8: own planes. They're not actually yes. 835 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: They're credit card company. They're credit card companies with planes. 836 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: This is true. 837 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 3: This is why I mean, I hate to hear that. 838 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 3: My wife gets on me. Sometimes I won't do connecting flights. 839 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 3: I will at this point because travel has gotten so frustrating. 840 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 3: If you can't I'm in Nashville, but I will drive 841 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 3: to an airport to do a connecting flight because it 842 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 3: feels like if you're relying on two flights to try 843 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 3: to get you anywhere. It's basically a fool's errand at 844 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 3: this point in time to even attempt if I can't 845 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 3: go there direct, I going. And I feel like many 846 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 3: of you out there feel that way too as well, 847 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 3: because at least if you're stuck in a city where 848 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 3: you're trying to go to or a city that you 849 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 3: live in, you can go back. If you're stuck in Midpoint, 850 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 3: you're just I mean, you're totally handcuffed by everything. 851 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 8: And in a small city, a lot of these are 852 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 8: regional areas. If you're stuck in a regional area, you 853 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 8: don't know anybody places close at five six o'clock, and 854 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 8: that was the Saint Harrisburg. Yeah, I was like, I 855 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 8: have to drive. I end up driving to Washington. I 856 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 8: drove to Virginia, Washington and end up in Baltimore. I mean, 857 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 8: it was insane trying to get a flight that I 858 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 8: have to drive four hours to find a flight for 859 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 8: two I mean, but that's the state. And anyone who flies. 860 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 8: I have to fly for work. 861 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: I just have to. 862 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 8: There's no other option to put people in that kind 863 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 8: of position or on a regular basis, you know, it 864 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 8: makes it easily of life just horrible, everybody. 865 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: Let's get to the thirty thousand or the fifty thousand 866 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: foot view. Is it the worst it's ever been in 867 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: your opinion, because I think that flying is now the 868 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: worst that it has ever been in my lifetime, you know, 869 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,919 Speaker 1: with the exception of like some you know, like post 870 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: nine to eleven or something, right, But I mean, I 871 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: think flying is now the worst. 872 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, two years ago, I used to fly sixty two 873 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 8: three four years of sixty times a year I would fly. 874 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 8: I flew all the time. It is way significantly worse, 875 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 8: and it is hours delays and cancelations and no one 876 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 8: communicates and everything with you. The communication part is what 877 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,959 Speaker 8: frustrates me the most. I'm sorry you didn't just find 878 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 8: out that your flight's canceled fifteen minutes before, after waiting 879 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 8: four hours. 880 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: I think, Well, what upsets me too is some people 881 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: like to sort of be the great defenders of the 882 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: airlines all the time, as if I don't know that. Yeah, 883 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: of course you can't fly into thunderstorm like I'm not 884 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 1: talking about that. There are a lot of games schedule 885 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: padding on chronic understaffing as a cost cutting measure, you know, 886 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: over selling of seats and all these things. These are 887 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: choices the airlines make at the expensive passengers, and people say, well, 888 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: this is what the market will decide. Taxpayers have bailed 889 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: out the airlines twice in the last twenty five years. Okay, 890 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: they wouldn't even exist without the taxpayer, and they're heavily 891 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 1: regulated by the federal government as it is, so I 892 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: feel like they're not allowed to just punish people, or 893 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be allowed to just punish people all the time. 894 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: But that's where I am. I don't know. I'm trying 895 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: to get a movement going here, Ryan, I'm trying to 896 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 1: find somebody who cares, who's in charge, and as far. 897 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 8: As the mark goes, this is not opening up a 898 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 8: lemonade stand. It's not like any person can just open 899 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 8: up an airline like, oh, it's so simple. No, it 900 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 8: is an extremely expensive, over heavily regulated industry. 901 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 2: Very few, very few people. 902 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: Get to it. 903 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 8: It's both it's basically six companies that run the entire 904 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 8: United States airline industry. They should make it, someone should 905 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 8: make it a little bit easier because it is incredibly frustrating. 906 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 8: Shout out to Southwest, who's bailed me out in the 907 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 8: Baltimore situation. But it was a nightmare of Ji. 908 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 1: Why Southwest fly Southwest everywhere? Buck? 909 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 3: Here's and Ryan, something that I think factors in here. 910 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 3: You know why there isn't a lot of pressure because 911 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 3: the wealthier you are, the less likely you fly commercial airlines. 912 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 3: So oftentimes it's wealthy people with major connections who get 913 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 3: major connections to the political universe. They get so frustrated 914 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 3: over something that they hold political pressure. If you're super wealthy, 915 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 3: you don't fly commercial, you're hopping on your private peasants. 916 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: The peasants like us are just allowed to suffer out there, 917 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:01,959 Speaker 1: Ryan State. 918 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 8: But Congress does fly commercial. That's the crazy thing. Congressman 919 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 8: almost always fly commercial and oftentimes fly economy, which is 920 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 8: why I don't understand they don't do anything about this. 921 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: Well, they do sometimes. 922 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 3: There's also a lot of private jet travel for politicians 923 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 3: as well that sometimes gets expensed through campaigns that I mean, 924 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 3: remember Bernie on his oligarch tour, he flew private jet 925 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 3: of course, as all anti oligarchs do. All right, Ryan, 926 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 3: we're having too much fun with you. 927 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: Were about to run into this commercial break, so we 928 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: have to bounce go check out Ryan's amazing podcast.

I know the boys. 965 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 3: I'm specifically singling out my fifteen year old pretty good athlete. 966 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 1: He said, I had a cool haircut, because that's my 967 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: he's my favorite right now. He's the one. You had 968 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: a cool haircut. That's right there, we go. 969 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 3: He will turn sixteen in September. He would be a 970 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 3: dominant w NBA player right now. 971 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: He could. He could step right into a starting lineup 972 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: for a w U NBA team. I'm telling you we could. 973 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: The money and the ratings you me. We get Secretary 974 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,240 Speaker 1: of warhag Seth. We get Jesse Kelly to be our center, 975 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 1: just because I think he can dunk without jumping. 976 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 3: It's preposterous, didn't I see Jesse by the way saying, Oh, 977 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 3: my back's been hurting. 978 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: What kind of leg exercises can I do? Am I 979 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: making this up? 980 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 3: And I think Matt Walsh said just accept you're in 981 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 3: your sixties and just get fat and lazy now, which 982 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: is a very funny response. 983 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: That may have been a thing. But also we got 984 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 1: to we get Dave Rubin in the mix. I'm trying 985 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: to think of our start. You know Ted Ted Cruz, 986 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: he throw he kicks it around, old school like if 987 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,320 Speaker 1: you've seen Ted when he played Jimmy Kimmel. Ted Cruz 988 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 1: plays basketball the way that every Long Island rec coach 989 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 1: tells you to play basketball. A lot of boxing out. 990 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: You gotta throw some elbows to keep that space, and 991 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: then you know, sky hooks, baby hooks. He's uh, he's 992 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 1: definitely got some game. He's Oh, Jimmy Kimmel. Who else 993 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: in our world is a bit of a baller? 994 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 3: Look, I'm trying to think of just the elite athletes 995 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 3: that we think Hannedy Hannity, I know, does a lot 996 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 3: of like MMA stuff. 997 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: Does he do bad? We got someone find out if 998 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 1: Hannity ever played well. I think probably had some point guard. 999 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 3: Give Sean some credit here on good Jeans because he 1000 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 3: had two D one college tennis player, a son and 1001 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 3: a daughter, which is a crazy level of success. It's 1002 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,760 Speaker 3: hard to be D one one, I mean at national 1003 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 3: championship caliber program. So I think Sean would have had, 1004 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 3: you know, kind of a veteran basketball game back in 1005 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 3: the day. 1006 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say, I don't know if Bongino 1007 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,359 Speaker 1: ever played basketball. My guess is he probably did. He 1008 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: was a good athlete, I know that. But he could 1009 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: definitely be our enforcer, you know, like the guy in 1010 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: hockey who just stares down the guys that like, you know, 1011 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: make sure that no one throws a hard check on Gretzky. 1012 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: Bongino would be there. He'd just be regulating in the paint, 1013 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 1: making sure that none of those WNBA ladies got too 1014 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:03,439 Speaker 1: rough with us. 1015 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 3: Well, I would just say if we could also draft 1016 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 3: heg Seth. I mean, the guy bench press is three 1017 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 3: point fifteen. Now, I don't know if they're going to 1018 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 3: be drug testing, just just tossing it out there. 1019 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: He wouldn't pass. 1020 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 3: He don't pass if they did for performance in hand sing, 1021 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 3: not for other drugs. 1022 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, correct, correct. Testosterone is legal under a doctor's prescription. 1023 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 3: So I think he was on the program with us 1024 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,360 Speaker 3: because I think we had fun when he had a 1025 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,839 Speaker 3: book come out. He played at Princeton back in the day, 1026 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 3: and I believe he said that he would take Angel 1027 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 3: Reese head to head one on one. So I think 1028 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 3: heg Seth could be a twenty ten guy for us, 1029 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 3: Like I think he could be like a lynchpin on 1030 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 3: the team, you know we set. 1031 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think he's a he's a he's 1032 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: a right wing media franchise player. Day. I will tell 1033 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,360 Speaker 1: you I've seen. I haven't played with him because my 1034 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: knees hurt, but Dave Dave Rubins got some game. He 1035 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: would be he would be solid. He's like he's like 1036 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,320 Speaker 1: a good two guard. You know, he's got the shooting 1037 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,800 Speaker 1: guard skills, so we get him in the mix, getting 1038 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 1: to play with that small Shapiro coach. We've being bent 1039 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 1: in to do some strategy. You know, he'd be good 1040 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,760 Speaker 1: with the board and strategizing. I don't think is gonna 1041 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: be his thing necessarily, but I think strategy he'd be excellent. 1042 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: I uh, that is really fun. I did Ben's show today. 1043 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 3: I should have asked him if he thought he could, 1044 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800 Speaker 3: if he thought he could to lead us to victory. 1045 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 3: I will say, building on this, we were talking about 1046 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 3: the WNBA, the Seattle situation. Buck the dumbest thing that 1047 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 3: I have ever seen a sports league do on social media. 1048 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 3: Last night, I'm getting ready for bed, and as one does, 1049 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 3: I'm on my phone scrolling checking to see what the 1050 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 3: news is, or bombing her on what's the latest on that? 1051 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: Let me do some. 1052 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 3: Prep for the show, and I see a video of 1053 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 3: Angel Reese and Page Bucker's I think that's how you 1054 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 3: pronounce her name. I'm not great to be fair Buckers, 1055 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 3: that's right, right, And we got producer Greg who's a 1056 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,479 Speaker 3: big yukon Beckers. Sorry, Page Beckers, I always get that wrong. 1057 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 3: I don't know why you have the U in there. 1058 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 3: It's an unnecessary vowel. So she is on this video 1059 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 3: with Angel Reese Buck. The WNBA posted the two of 1060 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 3: them betting four hundred dollars on a basketball game. The 1061 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 3: two sides are competing. To put this into context, any 1062 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 3: NFL player who bets on their team is automatically suspended 1063 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 3: now for two years without pay. The WNBA posted a 1064 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 3: video of them betting and then came out while we 1065 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 3: were on the air and said, according to Front Office Sports, 1066 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 3: that the video of them betting on their game was 1067 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 3: quote intend to be lighthearted. We recognize that the post 1068 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 3: missed the mark and removed it shortly after it was 1069 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:11,960 Speaker 3: published and addressed the matter internally. So if you're an 1070 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 3: NFL player, you missed two years. If you bet on 1071 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 3: your team, you do not get played, you lose your contract. 1072 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 1: If you are a w NBA player and they post you. 1073 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 3: On video betting for the game outcome two players, they 1074 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 3: just say, hey, it was supposed to be lighthearted and 1075 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 3: we're going to address it internally. 1076 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: By the way, I totally and I think anyone would 1077 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: understand why betting against your team is fraud and wrong 1078 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 1: and unethical if you're on the If you're on the team, right, 1079 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: that's why it's your team. I totally understand that. I'm 1080 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 1: a little fuzzier on why betting your team is going 1081 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 1: to win when you're on a team is on it. 1082 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: I guess it's just they want to keep it clean 1083 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: and not have people betting, and they just they think 1084 00:54:58,719 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 1: betting is a mess. 1085 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 3: The biggest takeaway is bus like when you don't bet right. 1086 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 3: So Pete Rose back in the day would bet on 1087 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 3: his team to win. But when you're not betting on 1088 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 3: your team to win, you're also default sending the message 1089 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 3: from people who are involved in the betting landscape, Oh, 1090 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 3: this guy doesn't like the matchup at all going forward. 1091 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 3: So when you bet on your team, I guess if 1092 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 3: you're to your point, if you bet on your team 1093 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 3: every game to win, then it would be less of 1094 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 3: an issue, right, other than if you're on an awful team, 1095 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 3: you could end up hundreds of thousands or millions of 1096 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 3: dollars in debt, which might eventually lead to you betting 1097 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 3: against your team to try to get back into good graces. 1098 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 3: I think just I do think blanket prohibitions unless you're 1099 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 3: an individual boxer or something like that. Maybe on an 1100 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 3: individual athlete basis, but again telling other people, this has 1101 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 3: been a huge investigation. I just I can't believe the 1102 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 3: WNBA was dumb enough to post this, and I can't 1103 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,800 Speaker 3: believe their explanation is ha is it just supposed to 1104 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 3: be lighthearted? 1105 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. We were just kidding, That's what 1106 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 1: they're saying. We're just kidding. Think about this opens up 1107 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 1: a lot of territory, you know what I mean? You 1108 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: could be like, hey, officer, was I really going one 1109 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty miles an hour? This three hundred dollars 1110 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,479 Speaker 1: that I'm handing you says? I wasn't just kidding. It's 1111 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: like does that work? All the copy lighthearted? Right? All 1112 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: the cops listening are like, don't try the lighthearted defense 1113 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: when you try to slip me cash, buddy, You're going 1114 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: to prison. Like you know what I'm saying, Oh yeah, 1115 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 1: just kidding is joking about the Bribeeah, that's a tough one. 1116 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: I think that's a tough one, dude. I think I'm 1117 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,720 Speaker 1: just kidding about the bribe. If they if they refuse 1118 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: the bribe, I don't think you're gonna get very What 1119 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: is it?
