00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Hope

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: you had absolutely fabulous weekends. Wherever you may be across

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: the country or around the world. We are ready to

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: roll with you. And this week it will just be me.

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: As Buck and his lovely wife Carrie are in Scotland.

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Buck may well be eating hagas, wearing some outlandish kilts

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: as we speak, maybe even playing the bagpipe. He will

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: be out this week. He'll be back with me on Monday,

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: reacting to everything. But you'll just have me this week.

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I'll be here in Nashville on Monday, then I'll be

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: up in Milwaukee on Tuesday and Wednesday for the Republican debate,

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: and then on Thursday and Friday, I'll be in New

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: York City. So I'm going all over the place this week.

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: But there is a lot, as you can well imagine,

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: for us to dive into this week. Coming out of

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: the weekend, we have got new polls in Iowa. What

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: if anything do they tell us about the status of

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: the race. We have got the Republican primary on Wednesday,

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: the debate, the very first Republican primary debate. Donald Trump

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: announcing over the weekend that he will not participate. He

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: said in the debate period, suggesting that he is going

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: to sit out all of them. What do you all

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: think of that decision and what does it tell us

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: so much to discuss surrounding all of those issues. But

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: I want to start with a positive story. A lot

28
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: of you out there are very frustrated at the fact

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: that the Biden administration and the Biden family in particular,

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: they're doing everything that they told you the Trumps were

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: going to do. The Biden crime family is, i believe,

32
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: far more significantly violating historic norms of the American presidency

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and engaging in criminal behavior in the process, more so

34
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: than when you actually break down the historical record, Richard Nixon,

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, and and Donald Trump all combined, were credibly

36
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: alleged to have done. Think about that for a minute,

37
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump. If you throw

38
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: them all together and you look at the credible allegations

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: of criminality of all three men during the course of

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: their presidency, none of them, none of them combined, equal

41
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: what Joe Biden had has been credibly alleged to have

42
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: done both himself personally and his family. And what they

43
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: keep saying, and I'm going to dive into this in

44
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: a big way today, is they keep telling you, oh,

45
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: there's no evidence connecting Joe Biden to the criminal behavior

46
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden. There's actually a bevy of evidence of

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: exactly that. Why are they lying to you so directly?

48
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: But I want to start with a positive and I

49
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: don't know that anybody else you will hear today will

50
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: give you this positive story eight hundred and two two

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: two eight eight two. You can react to what I'm

52
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: about to discuss with you or many of the other

53
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: topics that we will discuss throughout the day. In front

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: of me right now, old man that I am, I

55
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: have a print edition copy of Today's New York Times.

56
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: As you well know, in the upper left corner of

57
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the New York Times they say all the news that's

58
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: fit to print well Today on the front page, there

59
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: is an intriguing story, a positive story, one that I

60
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: want for us to celebrate. The headline is how plea

61
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: deal went off track for Biden's son ground shifted as

62
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: data from the IRS emerged front left page of Today's

63
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: New York Times. Bottom of that page. This is important,

64
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: the deals collapse, and I'm reading directly from the New

65
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: York Times, chronicled in over two hundred page pages of

66
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: confidential correspondence between mister Weiss's office and mister Biden's legal team.

67
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: Not so confidential anymore. This entire article, ladies and gentlemen,

68
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: is a pityfest, a petulant childlike fit that is being

69
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: by Hunter Biden and his lawyers over the fact that

70
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: their sweetheart deal, that their rig job collapsed. Their non

71
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: prosecution of Hunter Biden went up in smoke because all

72
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: of you refused to allow this sweetheart deal to go through.

73
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: And you raise such a stink that the Republicans in

74
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: the House actually did their job and held powerful people accountable.

75
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: That's a positive. It's a really big win. I'm reading

76
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: again from this New York Times article. The Times found

77
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: earlier this year that mister Weiss appeared willing to forego

78
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: any prosecution of mister Biden at all, and his office

79
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring

80
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: a guilty plea on any charges. But the correspondence reveals

81
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: that his position relayed through his staff changed in the spring,

82
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: around the time a pair of IRS officials on the

83
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation. I'm

84
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: reading directly from the Times. Mister Weiss suddenly, mister Weiss

85
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: suddenly demanded that mister Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses.

86
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Think about this for a minute. If those two IRS

87
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: agents had not come forward and testified in the house,

88
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was going to get off scot free for

89
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: not paying millions of dollars in taxes, for gun charges,

90
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: for all of the felonies that you and me and

91
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: many of us have seen that were on that Hunter

92
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: Biden laptop. The rig job was so close to completion

93
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: that there was almost going to be no punishment at all. Again,

94
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: this is based on the New York Times story. This

95
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: is the Hunter Biden lawyers pitching a pit a pity

96
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: fit and telling you that they were being treated unfairly,

97
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: that the United States Department of Justice, that their rig

98
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: job suddenly went up and smoke because of those two

99
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: IRS agents. But I think it's important to track this

100
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: win so far and explain why it happened, because I

101
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of times, you and me, many people

102
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: out there, we get really frustrated. And if you listen

103
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to this show, you know that I try to work

104
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: really hard to be an optimist, and sometimes Buck even

105
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: called himself e or the other day. It's easy to

106
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: expect that things are going to continue to get worse

107
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: because we've seen things get really, really bad so far

108
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: in this Joe Biden administration. But I actually am seeing

109
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: some real glimmers of sunlight that is making me optimistic

110
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: that the clouds are lifting. And let me tell you this,

111
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: this front page story is I was reading it over

112
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: the weekend. The only reason we got this IRS agent

113
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: testimony is because we won the House, and we won

114
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: the House by a tiny margin, but we won. We

115
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: got the last second field goal and it barely cleared

116
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: the uprights, but we got that. The reason these IRS

117
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: agents came forward, and the reason why their testimony received

118
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: so much attention was because Republicans had control of the

119
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: House and they could share their story that then stopped

120
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: the rig job from happening. So if you read this story,

121
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: what happened was as soon as these IRS agents testified,

122
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: it set off alarm bells in the Department of Justice.

123
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: They said, uh, oh, they are becoming aware of exactly

124
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: how sweetheart of a deal we've put in place. We've

125
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: got to do something. So Weiss came back and said, hey,

126
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: I can't give you guys the all clear anymore. I

127
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: need you to plead guilty to two minor misdemeanors and

128
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: that will take care of it. And the Biden team said, okay,

129
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're changing the deal on us. But

130
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: if we plead guilty to these two minor misdemeanors, we

131
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: need a guarantee that there is no prosecution that can

132
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: ever occur, that this is my client having a clean

133
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: bill of legal health. They said, okay, we can do that,

134
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: and then what happened. Another hero emerged. So the two

135
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: IRS agents who spoke truth to power came out and

136
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: they testified under oath. They put their future on the

137
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: line to tell the truth. And then Judge may D

138
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Ellen Norieika in Delaware refused to sign off on even

139
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the new double misdemeanor charges. She said, no, I'm not

140
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: going to sign off on this, and she raised as

141
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: an issue whether or not this investigation was ongoing, and

142
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: weis the US Attorney was so humiliated, I think by

143
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: what the IRS agents testified to under oath and by

144
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he was still giving Hunter Biden such

145
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: a sweetheart deal. He was so embarrassed by this that

146
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: they in public when the judge actually flagged it and said,

147
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: are you saying that this basically is giving him immunity

148
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: from prosecution going forward, that this investigation is over. I

149
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: think they were not willing to say it publicly. And

150
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: then this whole thing has collapsed, and the idea that

151
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was just going to be able to sweep

152
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: all of the illegal acts of his son under the rug,

153
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: and at all of their allies at the New York

154
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Times and the Washington Post and MSNBC and CNN and

155
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: ABC and NBC and CBS, that they were just going

156
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: to pretend that none of this was a story anymore.

157
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: They couldn't do it. Three heroes, two IRS agents who

158
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: raised their right hand and testified under oath as to

159
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the rig job that they had witnessed take place to

160
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: protect Hunter Biden by Joe Biden's Department of Justice, and

161
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: a judge, Mary Ellen norrieika federal District court judge who

162
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: refused to sign off on this three heroes. Now, there's

163
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: several people in the Republican House, James Comer, Jim Jordan.

164
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: We could run through a lot of them who have

165
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: helped to bring the truth to light as well. But

166
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: this rig job at went through. Hunter Biden almost got

167
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: away with not paying millions of dollars in taxes, with

168
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: running a criminal influence pedaling scheme directly connected to his

169
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: father while Joe Biden was a Vice president. They almost

170
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: got away with it, but they did it. And I

171
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: think this front page New York Times article of the

172
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden legal team throwing a pityfest for themselves is

173
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: actually going to blow up in a big way in

174
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: their face. Because it's one thing to rig justice, it's

175
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: another thing for everybody to find out that you rigged justice.

176
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: There are still enough good people in this United States

177
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: government that saw what was happening to Hunter Biden and

178
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: said no, we will not allow this. And now this

179
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: front page, two hundred pages of confidential documents that suddenly

180
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: the New York Times has they wrote this article trying

181
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: to make Hunter Biden look like the victim. But I

182
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: think if you read it, and I would encourage you

183
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: guys to do it. What this article actually does is

184
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: make it clear that the Biden administration was victimizing the

185
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: United States. And I actually think this thing is blowing

186
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: up in Hunter Biden's face in a big way because

187
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: now they have directly called out and embarrassed all of

188
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: these attorneys who were quietly and privately trying to avoid

189
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: this story blowing up like it has. I'm telling you,

190
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I think this is a really big deal. I think

191
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: this is a monster win, and I think it has

192
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: many consequential outcomes. Even if I may be the only

193
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: person talking about this. You may not hear this discussion

194
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: anywhere else in media today, but we're going to have it.

195
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: We're going to have it a big way. Eight hundred

196

Speaker 1: and two eight two two eight eight two. You guys

197

Speaker 1: can react to this. We got a ton of stuff

218
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: Out number two Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. As we

219
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: get ready for the primaries, Vivik Ramaswami is going viral

220
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: for shirtless tennis. I'm not making this up. There is

221
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: a large reaction as Vivek Ramaswami has posted three hours

222
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: of solid debate prep this morning and it is a

223
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: video of him playing tennis shirtless. So he and RFK

224
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Junior may end up engaging in a push up contest

225
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: to decide who the next president of the United States is.

226
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know

227
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: that that would be a disaster because I at least

228
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: then we know Biden would be out of office. And

229
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: if you had vive versus RFK Junior, I think you'd

230
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: probably have to give RFK Junior a little bit of

231
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: a benefit. I mean, he's I think sixty nine and

232
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Vivek is thirty eight, So thirty one year advantage for

233
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: the Veke on the push up contest would be really

234
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: too much. So you'd have to set up some sort

235
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: of parameters. Here, sixty nine year old guy versus thirty

236
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: eight year old guy got to have some sort of

237
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: different parameter in play. But there are a lot of

238
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: beefcakes out there all of a sudden in the political space.

239
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you saw on Fox News.

240
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,359
Speaker 1: How many of you saw shirtless Will Caine and shirtless

241
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: Pete hegseth on. I think it was Saturday Morning. I

242
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: bet that's the most ripped duo to ever host a

243
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: news program in the history of news television. Will Caine

244
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and Pete Hegseth all right, Charlie Arnall, who works with

245
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: us at OutKick, interviewed them. And I saw the Charlie interview.

246
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: Charlie's really good looking. I don't know that she's ever

247
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: interviewed two people who are better looking than her in

248
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: her entire professional career. But I thought with Will Kine

249
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: and with Pete Hegseth hirtless, Charlie was third place for

250
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: most attractive in the television shot. I don't know. Now

251
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: she worked at the WWE and in the UFC, so

252
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: she may have an answer and say, actually, I've interviewed

253
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: two better looking people before. This reminds me of when

254
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: I did television back in the back in the day

255
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: with Well I still do with Fox Sports. But one

256
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: time they put me in between Brady Quinn and Matt Liiner,

257
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, this is really unfair for me.

258
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: We were all were doing a college football show. Brady

259
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: Quinn looks like he looks like he is Superman. He

260
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: looks like Clark Kent. I mean, the guy has like

261
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: zero percent body fat. He's incredibly good looking. First round

262
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback went to Notre Dame. You know, six '

263
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: four two fifty totally ripped, and then Liner might be

264
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: even better looking than Brady Quinn, USC quarterback wins the

265
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy, first round draft pick. Every good looking girl

266
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: for like twenty years wanted to date Matt Liner, super famous,

267
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: and they put me between them, and I'm thinking to myself,

268
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: this is really I mean, I feel like I'm getting

269
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: set up here. What it rush used to say he

270
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: didn't like doing television, because it is true. When I

271
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: started doing television, all people react to is what you're wearing.

272
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: It's all cosmetic, what your hair looks like. They almost

273
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: never talk about what you say. I couldn't believe how

274
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: much of it was cosmetic. Go on, you make an argument,

275
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: you think it's really detailed, really fabulous, and then you

276
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: go get on social media, and when off people react

277
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: to I don't know why you wore that tie, Why

278
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: didn't you wear a tie? Why don't have a belt

279
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: on today? Why do your shoes not match your belt?

280
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: Why did you wear a jacket? Why did you not

281
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: wear a jacket? Why did you comb your hair that way?

282
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: Why didn't you comb your hair the other way? Why

283
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: did you get a haircut? Why did you put your

284
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: earpiece in that a ear Why did you turn to

285
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: your right instead of turning to your left, None of

286
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: it having to do at all with anything that you say.

287
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: It really is amazing. That's why I also say people

288
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: out there media, they say, how you know you writing?

289
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Re you do writing? Obviously, the book's out. Thank you,

290
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: by the way for making American Playbook the number one

291
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: best selling nonfiction book in America. Publishers Weekly put it

292
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: out number one nonfiction book last week in America. Wall

293
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Street Journal had U set number two in the bestseller list.

294
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: New York Times didn't put us in the top fifteen.

295
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: We outsold every nonfiction book in the New York Times

296
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: Top fifteen by five thousand books. Just amazing, But thank

297
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: you for that. But writing writing is the hardest thing

298
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: to do. Radio is the second hardest thing to do.

299
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: Television is the easiest. And I always say there's a

300
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: reason why you never see a television person go to

301
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: radio and then go to writing. Now, sometimes TV people

302
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: have ghost writers write their books, but by and large,

303
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: you see a lot of people who can do writing

304
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: to radio to TV. Because writing's the foundation of everything.

305
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: You make an argument, you sit down in front of

306
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 1: a blank computer, screen, nobody else is there to help you.

307
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: Radio more people help you, but it's still three hours

308
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: a long time to talk television. You sit down for

309
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: three or four minutes and they tell you that was amazing.

310
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: And a lot of times you sit down for three

311
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: or four minutes and sometimes you just read off of

312
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: a glass screen in front of you. You don't even

313
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: have to come up with what you're saying, and there's

314
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: a huge entore of people trying to make you look

315
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: like you're smarter than you are. It's incredible. And so

316
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: when you look at the way that this trajectory is going,

317
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: and I see vevag Ramaswami putting up a video of

318
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: himself shirtless hitting tennis balls, and I see RFK Junior

319
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: doing pushups and everybody goes crazy with it. I just

320
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: sit back and I think, man, the cosmetic aspects of

321
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: this debate on Wednesday are going to be interesting because

322
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of big data points that are

323
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: out there. And Ali tells me that the cosmetic is

324
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: why Rush just basically said I'm not going to do

325
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: TV anymore. And I get it. I totally get it.

326
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Because if you're in the position of making arguments and

327
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: all people do is react to what you look like

328
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: instead of the arguments that you make. I get why

329
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: that gets so supremely frustrating. As we're talking about the

330
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: made on Wednesday, the television dynamic and the way that

331
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: it has altered everything in our politics is still I

332
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: think under discussed, because remember the perfect example of this

333
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: was JFK Junior. Sorry JFK versus Richard Nixon. Everybody who

334
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: listened on radio, by and large thought Nixon one. Everybody

335
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: who watched on television thought JFK one. Well, it wasn't

336
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 1: that JFK's arguments were better. Because radio is certainly a

337
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: better medium to dissect arguments. Audio works far better. I

338
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: think the written word is the best of all, which

339
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: is why I get almost all of my news. If

340
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: you're watching me right now speaking of video with the

341
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck VIP as many of you are like,

342
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with legitimate newspapers or raid in front

343
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: of me, and I started off the show today talking

344
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: about an article dissecting article. I think the best way

345
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: to logically analyze issues is still by reading. I think

346
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: listening to audio is the second best. I think television

347
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: is the worst television is the most popular and the

348
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: most people who do it. And as scary as you

349
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: might think television is now, at least there are still

350
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: long form discussions on television to break down issues such

351
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: as the debate that's going to happen on Wednesday. Your

352
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: kids and grandkids are watching thirty second TikTok videos which

353
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: have absolutely no context at all, and that will be

354
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: I think we're going to move from just video deciding elections.

355
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: I think we're going to move to video clips totally

356
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: out of context deciding elections, and that gets even scarier

357
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: to me. But a couple of polls that are out,

358
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: and then I want to talk about Bill Clinton screwing

359
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: an intern as opposed to the whole country, like Joe

360
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: Biden's going to do a little bit later in the hour.

361
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: But a couple of poles that are out that I

362
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: think are significant, and I want to hit you with

363
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: these Iowa poll. This is the Iowa poll from Jay

364
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: and Seltzer from Des Moines. She is evidently the greatest

365
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: polster in the history of the state of Iowa, which

366
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: some of you are going to laugh, like that's kind

367
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: of a big deal, because the Iowa Caucus is so

368
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: difficult to predict, and Iowa historically was a battleground state.

369
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Not anymore. It's gone fully read because people of Iowa

370
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: have not lost their minds Democrats have. Which one of

371
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: the following Republicans will be your first choice? Here? This

372
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: number out today. Trump got forty two percent of the

373
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: support in this Iowa caucus now poll. Fifty eight percent

374
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: of people in Iowa are supporting somebody else, nineteen percent

375
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: for Ron DeSantis, nine percent for Tim Scott, six percent

376
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: for Nikki Hayley, six percent for Mike Pence, five percent

377
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: for Chris Christy, only four percent support for vivek Ramaswami,

378
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Doug Bergham, two percent will heard one percent. That is

379
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: the Iowa caucus poll that has come out today from

380
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: the Des Moines Register. Jay and Seltzer is who is

381
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: responsible for that? What does that tell us? Well, it

382
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: tells us what we thought already that Trump is a

383
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: prohibitive favorite. But is there someone lurking that could come

384
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: and steal Trump's victory in Iowa. Remember Trump only got

385
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: twenty four percent of the Iowa caucus vote in twenty sixteen,

386
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people have forgotten about that. Uh.

387
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: The final caucus poll, the results in Iowa in twenty fifteen.

388
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz won Iowa twenty sixteen. January of twenty sixteen,

389
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz ended up with twenty eight percent in Iowa,

390
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: Trump with twenty four percent. People forget this, Rubio almost

391
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: caught Trump, and then Ben Carson was at nine percent.

392
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Why do I bring that up? Just three months before

393
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: the actual caucus ben Carson was at twenty eight percent.

394
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: So in November of twenty fifteen, Ben Carson had a

395
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: big lead in the reliable polls. Trump was in second place,

396
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: Cruz was in third. Cruz surged into a January win.

397
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Trump was up a little bit, Rubio was up a

398
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: decent amount, and Carson plummeted. So what does that tell

399
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: us about where we might go? And what did you

400
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: all think about the decision being made by Trump to

401
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: effectively say he doesn't need to debate at all. Right, decision,

402
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: wrong decision from Trump. We'll take some of your calls

403
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: on at eight hundred and two eighty two two eight

404
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: A two uh, and we'll continue to discuss this poll

405
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: and also the fact that we have the debate on Wednesday.

406
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: We're going to be in Milwaukee for that debate, What

407
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: do we expect to see on Wednesday and what do

408
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: you need to see from the different contestants to contenders

409
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: in this primary season to see what might transpire going forward.

410
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: We'll continue to break that down for you. In the meantime,

411
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: I want to tell you planning an idea for this fall.

412
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: There'll be a time when the weather gets cold, families indoors,

413
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: and it's a good time to get ready and rediscover

414
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: some old family movies. Heck, you know, with the end

415
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: of summer coming, a lot of times you go back

416
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: and you'll look at some of those summer vacations past,

417
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: or when you're on that summer vacation last days of August,

418
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: get ready for the kids to go back. Maybe you

419
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: do what I did, look at some of those old

420
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: family vacation pictures and just think, man, I can't believe

421
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: how much the kids have grown in the last couple

422
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: of years. Maybe you think, hey, I can't believe how

423
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: much things have changed in the past couple of decades.

424
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you have a place you've been going with your

425
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: family for a long time, and you'd like to ensure

426
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: that your kids and your grandkids have the memories in

427
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: the years ahead, so that they can share with their

428
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: own families what they went through and experienced with your

429
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360

Speaker 1: will be back Monday. I am with you this week.

445
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: I will be with you in Milwaukee Tuesday and Wednesday,

446
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: we're doing an awesome event at the Paps Theater eight o'clock.

447
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: Get in a copy of my book, and we're gonna

448
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: have a big discussion about the future of the Republican

449
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Party and the twenty twenty four race and what I

450
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: think is of all the states out there, the most

451
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: consequential Wisconsin. If I could pick one state and know

452
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: the results for twenty twenty four in one state, I

453
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: think I could predict the entire election just by knowing

454
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: what happens in Wisconsin. I don't see a pathway to

455
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: the Republicans winning in twenty twenty four that does not

456
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: include a victory in Wisconsin. The math just basically doesn't

457
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: add up. I think Georgia and Arizona will flip back,

458
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: and then we will need at least one Midwestern state.

459
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: Nevada is also in play, by the way, don't forget

460
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: that state super close in twenty just elected a Republican governor.

461
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two. Nevada did the only state in

462
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: fact where a statewide office holder lost as the incumbent

463
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: in the entire country in twenty twenty two was Joe

464
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: Lombardo won the governorship of Nevada. The Republican one Nevada.

465
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: That is it in terms of flipping either a Democrat

466
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: or a Republican office holder. So Nevada will be in play.

467
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: But one state. If you told me, hey, focus on

468
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: this one state, it would be Wisconsin, and we will

469
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: be there tomorrow doing the show live from our affiliate.

470

477
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I've never been to Milwaukee. We're going to be doing

478
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: the show Tuesday and Wednesday from Milwaukee. I will be

Speaker 1: up there. Should have a really good time, So can't

480
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: wait to hang out with all of you in that event.

481
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Republican primary. We also just had

482
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: a caller in Michigan who said that he would not

483
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: vote republic if Trump is not the nominee. A lot

484
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: of you weighing in eight hundred two A two two

485
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: eight eight two. I will get to many of your

486
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: calls here in this hour, but I wanted to hit

487
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned that I would do this earlier in the show.

488
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: I said that Joe Biden is more credibly accused of

489
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: committing crimes while in office of a significant level than

490
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump were credibly accused

491
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: in their terms in office, and yet the media by

492
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: and large is mostly ignoring it. Why. I'll get to

493
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: that in a sec, but first I want to say

494
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: the biggest lie that you are all being told that

495
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: we are all being told. You notice every time you

496
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: read about Hunter Biden in the New York Times, in

497
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, where they talk about in Buy and

498
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Large on CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, you know what

499
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: they say. They always say this, there's no evidence that

500
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was involved. There's always a line, oftentimes a

501
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: paragraph where they say and also video written. They always

502
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: say there's no evidence that Joe Biden was involved. That

503
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent a lie. There is lots of

504
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: evidence that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden and

505
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: the Biden crime families behavior and some of you may

506
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: have heard me. I think it was Sunday of last week,

507
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: so eight days ago, I was on Fox News and

508
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: I laid out on their Sunday morning program exactly why

509
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: that is a lie. And let me just lay it

510
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: out for you here, because I think this is consequential

511
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: when they say there is no evidence Joe Biden was

512
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: involved with Hunter. Here what they're overlooking ten percent for

513
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: the big guy. Tony Bobolinski credibly accused Joe Biden of

514
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: getting ten percent of that deal that was done. My

515
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: dad is sitting next to me. Remember that WhatsApp message

516
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: from Hunter Biden, you better pay. That was what Hunter

517
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: Biden said to his Chinese business associates. Devin Archer has

518
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: testified that Joe Biden was involved in at least twenty

519
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: calls to business partners, and Joe Biden has met with

520
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: and even attended dinner with some of Hunter Biden's business partners.

521
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: The Beisma prosecutor who was fired says Joe Biden got

522
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: him fired. Joe Biden even bragged that he did it.

523
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: Beisma was being represented by the and as Devin Archer said,

524
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: which was the Biden family. That's why they were paying

525
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: so much money to Hunter Biden, because otherwise you notice

526
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: how nobody's ever actually able to produce any work product

527
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: from Hunter Biden. Now, if you have a lawyer and

528
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: you pay that lawyer millions of dollars, the lawyer will

529
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: be able to produce typically a lot of work product.

530
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: There'll be memos. There will be a lot of memos.

531
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: If you're paying millions of dollars, there will be documents

532
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: that were filed in court. There is a tangible work

533
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: product that reflects the work that you did. I haven't

534
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: seen anything from Joe Biden. A Russian oligarch paid three

535
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars to Hunter Biden and the

536
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: Biden crime family after meeting with Joe Biden and was

537
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: left off of the sanctions list. There is tons of evidence.

538
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: As I started this prog laying out all of the

539
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: Department of Justice cover ups. Now you can believe, and

540
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: this is just some of the evidence that I just

541
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: laid out, you can believe that this evidence does not

542
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: rise to the level of criminality. But there is a

543
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 1: ton of evidence that Joe Biden was involved with Hunter

544
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: Biden and the Biden crime family. So any time you

545
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: are hearing someone in media say there's no evidence, and

546
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: they almost do it in every single article that they

547
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: talk about that is a lie. There is actually tons

548
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: of evidence that Joe Biden was involved. Now, some of

549
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: it can be circumstantial. There may not be necessarily, in

550
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: your opinion, a direct smoking gun. But when you put

551
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: together a lot of circumstantial evidence, it becomes highly unlikely

552
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: that all of this was just occurring and there was

553
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: no connection. And this is one of my favorite legal

554
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: examples of circumstantial evidence. We have this idea because people

555
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: will try it out there who are defense attorneys. And

556
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: for the record, I've been a defense attorney, so I've

557
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: had this job before. There are lots of times people say, oh,

558
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: that's just circumstantial evidence, which is different. By the way,

559
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: that's the next step that's probably coming. There's tons of evidence.

560
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: So every one of you, whenever you hear somebody say

561
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: there's no evidence, you should push back, as I did

562
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: on Fox News on that television broadcast. You can say

563
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: it's not evidence significant enough to demonstrate that a crime

564
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: has occurred, but there's tons of evidence that Joe Biden

565
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: was involved with Hunter. The next step is going to be, oh,

566
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: it's circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence is not bad evidence, and

567
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: a lot of circumstantial evidence is actually very credible. And

568
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: one of my favorite examples of circumstantial evidence is if

569
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: you were testifying on the witness stand and you set

570
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: down and it had snowed a foot overnight. You couldn't

571
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: and you slept all night, You went to bed at

572
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: ten o'clock and there wasn't a bit of snow that

573
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: had fallen, and you woke up at six am, and

574
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: when you pulled back your blinds, Remember when you were

575
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: a kid, how that would happen when you thought there

576
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: might be a snow day. If you ever lived in

577
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: the South like I did, and snow meant you were

578
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: out of school, you would wake up and you would

579
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: you would turn those blinds, or you would rip open

580
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: that curtain and you would be praying, I hope there

581
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: is snow all over the ground. You would just be

582
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: begging for it with every fiber of your being. You

583
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: know why you would do that, because you had gone

584
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: to bed and it was supposed to snow overnight when

585
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: it typically gets colder, and you didn't know if the

586
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: snowfall was actually gonna happen, So when you yanked open

587
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: those blinds, or you yanked open that curtain and you

588
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: looked outside and you saw the snow. You, if you

589
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: set down and were testifying, could not testify that you

590
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: saw it snow because you were asleep all night. But

591
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: you could testify that when you went to bed there

592
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: was no snow on the ground, and when you woke

593
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: up there was snow on the ground. Therefore, your testifying

594
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: about snow is circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence can often be

595
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: very reliable evidence. Even if you didn't see it yourself.

596
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: Between ten pm and six am, somehow a bunch of

597
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: white stuff ended up on the ground and it wasn't

598
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's birthday party, it's probably snow. That circumstantial evidence.

599
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: There is tons, scads, an absolute onslaught of evidence that

600
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Joe Biden himself was personally involved in the Biden crime family.

601
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: So every time you are being told there is no evidence,

602
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: it is a lie. There is plenty of evidence. You

603
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: might not find it to be substantial, and by the way,

604
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: it's far more credible than any of the evidence of

605
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: criminal behavior. But against Clinton, Nixon, and Trump, why is

606
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: it that suddenly the media turns blind and doesn't pay

607
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: any attention at all when Joe Biden is involved because

608
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: they went after Bill Clinton. They went after Bill Clinton

609
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: in a big way. I think it's the function of

610
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: the new media environment we have.

611
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: Now.

612
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: I've written and talked about this a lot. I'll tell

613
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: you about it a little bit more. We'll take your

614
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: calls close out the show, continuing to have you guys

615
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: reacting to what we've talked about so far. The Washington

616
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 1: Post in the New York Times are now subscription businesses.

617
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: They would lose all of their subscribers if they actually

618
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: told the truth to them. I really think that's what's

619
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: going on. I really do believe that that is the

620
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: way that this story is shaking out. We'll talk about

621
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: that in a moment. Also, take your calls. Appreciate all

622
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: of you as always hanging out with us. We roll

623
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: through the Monday edition of the program. Get ready to

624
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: head up to Milwaukee for the big debate that is

625
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: going on Wednesday. In the meantime, movie tickets, school registration's,

626
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: v MO payments, shopping on Amazon, binge, watching shows. We

627
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: buy more things online than ever before. That means your

628
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: credit profile, your online identity more exposed. Than ever before. Too.

629
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: That makes you vulnerable to cyber hackers who know how

630
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: to get your data use it for their own good.

631
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: They waste no time setting up bogus accounts or making

632
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: as many purchases as they can on your credit cards

633
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: before being shut down. Either way, you're left holding the bag.

634
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are

635
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: affecting our lives. How do you protect yourself from all this?

636
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,160

00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: think it's being used without your permission. Hard to fathom,

639
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,400

651
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: on email and obviously on the phones. David writes in

652
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: He's a VIP. You castigated a Trump caller for saying

653
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: he would not vote for another Republican candidate. You called

654
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: him a loser and worse? Did I call him a

655
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: loser and worse? I definitely called him a loser. What's

656
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: worse than a loser? Maybe a cry baby? Maybe? So? Okay,

657
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: it's accurate. I never once heard you call out Carl Row,

658
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, George W. Bush, McConnell for sitting

659
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: out the twenty twenty election. Why is that? Well, I

660
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: wasn't on this show in twenty twenty that I endorsed

661
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: Trump as aggressively as I could. But yes, anybody who

662
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: sits out an election that Trump is involved in is

663
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: a loser too. If you, I can't believe I have

664
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: to say this. Some of you are like sports fans

665
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: who are so committed to your team that you don't

666
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: have any ability to see the larger context. I am

667
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: looking beyond the primary. We've got a ton of great candidates.

668
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who's going to end up being the nominee.

669
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm fortunate, I believe to have met almost every one

670
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: of the candidates face to face, and I think we've

671
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: had every one of the candidates on this program. We

672
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: certainly have invited everyone, but everybody who's in like the

673
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: top eight or nine, they've been on this program. I

674
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: will vote for any of them over Joe Biden, and

675
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: I will be excited to go. I am old school.

676
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: I like to go on election day, and I like

677
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: to go down and I feel incredible to cast my

678
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: vote for President as I did in twenty twenty four Trump.

679
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: I will be ecstatic to do it for Trump again

680
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four or any of these other candidates,

681
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: because they are all far better than Joe Biden or

682
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: whomever the Democrats might put forward now. To be fair,

683
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: I would be honest with you guys. If let's say

684
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: Mike Pence for the Republican nominee, and OURFK Junior were

685
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: the Democrat nominee, I might well vote for RFKJUNI here

686
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: and some of you are going to be fired up

687
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: about that. I would rather a candidate be honest to

688
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: me and be right one hundred percent about COVID, then

689
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: I would a candidate lie to me like I think

690
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: Mike Pence has on this program. But I would vote

691
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: for Mike Pence against Joe Biden, and I would be

692
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: excited to do it. That's because to me, the analogy

693
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: that I would put forward is if you are choosing

694
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: not to support someone based on the nominee, that's like

695
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: being a member of a football team. On Thursday afternoon,

696
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: I changed my signing time so that I could go

697
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: watch my seventh grader play on his tackle football team.

698
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: And I watched that game. And they're playing like every

699
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: Thursday for the next six or seven weeks, and I'll

700
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,399
Speaker 1: go watch almost all of them. I think I'm out

701
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: of town this week. I'll be at every other one.

702
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: I talked to my son afterwards. Got a lot of

703
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: different players that are coming in seventh grade football. You're

704
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: rotating in different talent. You've got to perform at your

705
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 1: highest ability, no matter who the quarterback is. My son

706
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: plays wide receiver, okay, if he ran his routes different

707
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: based on who the quarterback was, he would be an

708
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: awful teammate. If a kid on their team blocked differently

709
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: on the offensive line based on who the quarterback was,

710
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: he would be an awful teammate. If you are not

711
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: willing to go vote for a Republican candidate against Joe

712
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: Biden because you're upset about who the quarterback is and

713
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: you're willing to miss blocks on the offensive line, or

714
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: you're willing to intentionally fumble the ball if it gets

715
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: handed off to you as the running back, or you

716
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: don't run the right routes as the receiver. In my opinion,

717
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: you are being an awful teammate because your job is

718
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: to execute, to try to make the team the best

719
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: possible version of itself, no matter who the quarterback is.

720
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: If you are listening to me right now and your

721
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: position is if Donald Trump's not the quarterback for this team,

722
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: then I don't care anymore. I'm just gonna leave. I'm

723
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: gonna quit the team. I think you're a loser. I do.

724
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, if your position was if Donald

725
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: Trump is the quarterback, I'm not gonna vote Republican. I'm

726
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: gonna not show up because I think Ron DeSantis needs

727
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: to be the nominee or Vivey Gramaswami or whoever it

728
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: might be, Nicki Haley, Tim Scott, any number of candidates.

729
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,479
Speaker 1: Then I think you are being a loser because you're

730
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: not putting the best interests of the country forward. If

731
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: you're not voting at all. And I understand that a

732
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: lot of you in the middle of the Republican primary

733
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: engage in emotional thinking. To me, that's like being a Democrat,

734
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: because Democrats are always giving over to emotion. They aren't

735
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: being logical. Oh that person's feelings are hurt. Let's change

736
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: the First Amendment so that we don't hurt their feelings anymore. Oh,

737
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: that person has a different opinion than me. They shouldn't

738
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: be able to have a job anymore. That's childlike emotional thinking.

739
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes people get upset. Guarantee you right now, if I

740
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: check my mentions, people are upset. Oh you got to

741
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: talk to truth to people. You got to keep in

742
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: mind the big objective here. You've got to be aware

743
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: of what is at stake. When you are turning on

744
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: your own side and claiming through emotional blackmail, well, I

745
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: just won't even show up if my guy's not the

746
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: choice you're the equivalent of a guy who either decides

747
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: to quit the team because he doesn't like how the

748
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: team's going, or you just intentionally put forward a slipshot

749
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: effort and you let your quarterback get decked because you're

750
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: upset at who's taken the snap. That's just not going

751
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: to be me, and I don't think it should be you.

752
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: I think you should be focused on being the best

753
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: version of yourself and advocating to your best ability for

754
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: the best possible candidate, whether it's president, whether it's representative,

755
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: whether it's school board member, all of it. And the

756
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: only way you can do that is by showing up

757
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: and voting. So I'm sorry, I get frustrated, directly, straightforward, transparently.

758
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: If you are out there listening right now and you

759
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: are of the opinion as some callers are and some

760
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: listeners are, I won't show up if my guy's not

761
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: the choice. Then I think you are a big part

762
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: of the problem with the direction of the country because

763
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: by March eight nine months from now, by March of

764
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: next year, we're going to know who the nominee is,

765
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: and everybody, no matter who you show up to caucus

766
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: for in Iowa or who you show up to vote

767
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: for in New Hampshire or South Carolina or Nevada or

768
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: wherever you may be across the country. I'm gonna go

769
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: vote in Nashville, Tennessee, Franklin, Tennessee, to be specific, right

770
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: south of Nashville, Tennessee, in my local precinct. I'm going

771
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: to show up and vote. I think it's March fifth.

772
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: I think Tennessee votes on Super Tuesday. I'm gonna go

773
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: vote for who I think the best nominee is. It

774
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: may already be Toy, then it might not, I don't know.

775
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: And then whenever that nomination is decided, and I think

776
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: by March nineteenth that the absolute latest we will know

777
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: exactly who the Republican nominee is going to be. I

778
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: am going to work as hard as I possibly can

779
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: to get the Republican nominee elected because I think Joe

780
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: Biden or someone even worse than Joe Biden potentially is

781
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: going to be the nominee for the Democrats, and I

782
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: think whomever we put forward for the Republicans, it is

783
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: going to be incredibly important that we win, because if

784
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: we do not, I think that we are going to

785
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: be in real trouble Dave in Georgia. What you got

786
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: for me?

787
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, I appreciate and totally agree with your analysis

788
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 2: of what a Trump's supporters should do if he is

789
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 2: not the nominee, and I am frustrated bow them. I

790
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: understand the anger the Trump supporters might have if that occurs,

791
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: but staying away is no answer, and you've articulated why

792
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: it isn't. I'm calling because in the state of Georgia

793
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: it probably is under the radar most people. But there

794
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 2: was a runoff for two Senate seats yep, and one

795
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: of them was the unexpired term of Johnny Isaacson, who

796
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: had had to retire for health reasons. Another was for

797
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: six year term. And during the time that Trump was

798
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 2: challenging the election, as he had the right to do

799
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: up to a point at least, he was actively challenging

800
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: the honesty and integrity of the election process in Georgia,

801
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 2: and in effect, if not by actual words, and I

802
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: can't remember and can't quote anything, but he was discouraging

803
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: people to go vote in that runoff, and it cost

804
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: Georgia two Republican seats, which has done unfold carnage and

805
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: damage to this country. And so if the Trump votvoters

806
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: focus only on what to do about voting for Trump,

807
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 2: they need to understand the other very serious implications on

808
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 2: down ballot k of races that was caused because of

809
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: his behavior in discouraging voters who were loyal to him

810
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: to stay home.

811
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Thank you for the call.

812
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: In Georgia, I think the single number one criticism that

813
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: you can make of Donald Trump, in my opinion, is

814
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: exactly what he just said. The number one. When the

815
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: double runoffs happened in January of twenty twenty one, we

816
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: lost control of the Senate, and as a result, Joe

817
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 1: Biden was able to spend trillions of dollars more, which

818
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 1: drove inflation up to nine percent and now has your

819
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: mortgage rates over seven percent because we've had this skyrocket

820
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: interest rates to try to deal with that massive increase

821
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: of inflation. Directly, trillions of dollars in debt were spent

822
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: because we lost those races, and Trump was not the

823
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: biggest and best advocate for those two Georgia Senate runoff

824
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: races because he was focused on what happened in the

825
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: state of Georgia and was upset about the outcomes of

826
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: those elections. That's the truth. We lost two Senate seats,

827
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: which cost the Republican Party control of the Senate and

828
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: allowed Joe Biden to ram through trillions of dollars in

829
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: additional spending that otherwise would not have been possible if

830
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: there were just one Republican Senate seat, much less two.

831
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: And that is a great example of what happens when

832
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: you get fixated on one particular thing and you miss

833
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: the larger picture. Because what we desperately needed in twenty twenty,

834
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: we didn't end up with worst case scenario. Split government

835
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: lost the House, lost the Senate, lost the White House,

836
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden, because he doesn't understand basic economics, went

837
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: out and spent trillions of dollars. So for all of

838
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: you out there listening right now who are fired up

839
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: and you support one Canada or the other, I certainly

840
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: appreciate that and understand it. As scary as it is

841
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: to think about Joe Biden having another term in office

842
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: and potentially Kamala Harris ending up president because Joe Biden's

843
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: not going to be able to finish that term, think

844
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: about how scary Democrats having control of the Senate, the

845
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: House and the White House again would be and what

846
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: that would do to this country's future, and what it

847
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: would do to your kid's future. When it comes to

848
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: the money that they would spend, that would drive us

849
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: even further into what I believe is economic catastrophe. That's

850
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: the stakes. No one man or no one woman, no

851
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: matter who they are, has the ability single handedly to

852
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: stop this from happening. That's why you need to show up,

853
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: and you need to, with Gusto, support candidates all the

854
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: way from president down to school board to put this

855
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: country back in the direction it needs to be going.

856
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: I'll close up some more with some of your calls.

857
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you. We are having a great discussion.

858
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: And you know what, I wish there was some more

859
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: testosterone in the Biden White House. I wish we hadn't

860
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: lost the Senate, in the House in twenty twenty and

861
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: the White House, and I wish we just had more

862
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: testosterone in this country period. You know that the testosterone

863
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: levels in America are down fifty percent since the past

864
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: several decades. Your grandpa and your great grandpa, they had

865
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: way more testosterone in their body than we do today.

866
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: Men are diminishing in terms of our testosterone. They can't

867
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: figure out exactly why it is. Well. I can tell

868
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 1: you one thing that could help is all natural chalk.

869
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: It'll put testosterone supplements back up to just twenty percent

870
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: in three months times all natural. You can get yourself
