1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 2: Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: all of you hanging out with us. I am still 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. For the next several days at 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: our iHeart Studios here. 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Much to discuss. 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: Buck is in can France on the French Riviera right now. 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: I believe as we speak, it would be what about 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: six pm over there, And it's actually interesting why he's there, 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: because it speaks to the growth of the show, but 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: also a lot of advertisers suddenly clamoring to be on 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 2: this show, and so he is meeting with many of 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: the biggest brands in America that have suddenly realized, Hey, 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: these guys talk to a huge population all over the country. 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: And I've made jokes about this before, and we're going 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: to get into a lot of serious things. But it 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: is somewhat funny to me that we've been doing this 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: show for four years and not one car company has 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: ever advertised on this show, not one restaurant has ever 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: advertised on this show. Not one beer has ever advertised 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: on this show, Not one liquor company has ever advertised 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: on this show, and then suddenly you're finding out, Oh, 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: by the way, they all should be. And you guys 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: have a lot of money to spend, and you do 26 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: go to restaurants, and you do buy cars, and you 27 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: like to watch sports and movies and everything else that 28 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: the general swath of America would be all about. And 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 2: so suddenly everybody is clamoring to buy ads on this program. 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: You'll probably start to hear it. I was with We 31 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: had a great event down in Palm Beach for all 32 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: of our advertisers a couple weeks ago, and the guys 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: at Price Pick said, yeah, you're the best advertisement that 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: we have bought in the history basically at Price Picks. 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: So you guys sign up, you guys respond, and we 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: know all of our advertisers. We love them. But there's 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: a lot of different directions that all of that is headed. 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: But that is where Buck is. So he is going 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: to be on the French Riviera. There's probably some good 40 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: AI memes that you guys can create of Buck advertising 41 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: on the French Riviera with all of the big wigs 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: at iHeart, but that is where he is going to be. 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: I will be with you solo entirely this week, so 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: let's dive into everything that took place. A good time 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: to be in DC, lots of different news taking place 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: over the weekend. I thought we saw a very crystallized 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: version of the way in which you see the world 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: and the way in which, to a large extent, you 49 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: see the country, And in particular that was surrounding the 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: military parade that took place here Saturday in Washington, DC, 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: and I thought was compe I thought it was historically resonant. 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: When you saw all of the different army uniforms throughout history, 53 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: it felt to me like somewhat of a walking distillation 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: of a Smithsonian Museum, which if you have been to Washington, 55 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: d C. 56 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: You have likely toured. 57 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: I spent Father's Day, and Happy Father's Day to all 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: the great dads out there and all of the people 59 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: who are helping to raise the next generation of young 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: men and young women all over the country, and the 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: importance of dads I think probably drastically underrated. I may 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: dive into that a bit during the course of today's program, 63 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: but I spent Father's Day with my seventeen year old 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: he just finished his junior year in high school. 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: We went to the Air and Space Museum. 66 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: That was what he was really excited to do, and 67 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: so we were just there, like a lot of dads 68 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: and moms who were with their kids, walking through the exhibits. 69 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: And I was particularly struck by the Orville and Wilbur 70 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: Wright exhibit in the Air and Space Museum, because to me, 71 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: those guys represent the essence of American ingenuity. You had 72 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: so many people out there for hundreds of years, thousands 73 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: of years saying, boy, it would be really nice to 74 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: know what it's like to fly in the clouds, to 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: be able to look down on the world like a 76 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: bird does, and many of us take it for granted. 77 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: I'm still kind of surprised my son is one of 78 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 2: those who doesn't take it for granted. But the number 79 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: of people who get on an airplane and immediately close 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: the window and have no interest whatsoever in looking out. 81 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: That's a view that, for thousands of years, would have 82 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: been the most impressive thing that any human ever saw, 83 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: and yet many of us take it for granted every 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: single day, the ease with which we can travel around 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: the world and the views. 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: That we have, the bird's eye view. 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: I still like to look out the window when I 88 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: get on planes, when we're landing in cities, and there's 89 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: a cool view that again, for thousands of years, every 90 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 2: human would have dreamed of knowing what it actually looked 91 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: like to be up that high in the sky. And 92 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 2: Orville and Wilbur Wright, these bicycle shop guys in Dayton, Ohio, decided, Hey, 93 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: you know, I know everybody else in the entire history 94 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: of humanity has failed, but we think we can design 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: a flying machine. And they did it. And it's really 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: a remarkable story. And I don't think it's one that 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: gets talked about enough. But I've been thinking about it 98 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: a lot in the context of the dual marches that 99 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: we saw taking place over the weekend, And what really 100 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 2: stood out to me is I looked and read and 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: you can actually stand, and I took a picture of 102 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: it like many people do, the original plane that they 103 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: took that they flew in the early nineteen hundreds, and 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: just think about how rapidly we evolved in our pursuit 105 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: of flight, and then, to a large extent, how it 106 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: just stopped. And I thought it's an interesting metaphor of 107 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: American ingenuity in general. So in the early nineteen hundreds, 108 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: the Orville and Wilbur Wright. Creation of the airplane leads 109 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: to a massive change in our ability to traverse the 110 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: country and the world. Lindberg flies across the Atlantic becomes 111 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: a huge star. 112 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: World War One and World War. 113 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: II leads to the rapid evolution of aircraft. In nineteen 114 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: sixty nine, we go to the Moon, which obviously is 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: also quite well chronicled in the Air and Space Museum. 116 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: You can see the landers there. My son was super impressed. 117 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: I hadn't been to the Air and Space Museum in 118 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: twenty five years probably, So you're walking around there, think 119 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: about that, in the space of a normal life, you 120 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: could have been born where there were no airplanes, and 121 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: you could have been alive when we walked on the moon. 122 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: That's pretty staggering when you think about it. My own 123 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: grandfather was born in nineteen oh five and he died 124 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety and the trajectory of his life now 125 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: he never got on an airplane, which is interesting. I mean, 126 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: my grandparents never got on an airplane. They had eighth 127 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: grade educations from coal mining country in Kentucky, came down 128 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: and worked. My grandfather did his whole life at DuPont. 129 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: But you could go from not even ever seeing an 130 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: airplane to watching on television as we set foot on 131 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: the moon. 132 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Then what happened? Think about it. 133 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: I was walking around the Air and Space Museum on Saturday, Sunday, sorry, 134 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: Father's Day, and I was talking with my son. We 135 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: basically stopped. Now we're trying to go back to the moon. 136 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: Human progress doesn't move necessarily as rapidly as we think. 137 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: When we go back and study history, we basically have 138 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: been frozen in time since about nineteen sixty nine. Some 139 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: of you listening to me right now, I wasn't born 140 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: until seventy nine, but you will remember watching on television 141 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: as we walked on the face of the moon, and 142 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: probably in nineteen sixty nine. If you could take yourself 143 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: back to the way that you felt on that day, 144 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: if I had asked you, hey, what's going to be 145 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: the case with American exploration by the time we get 146 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty five, I think, if you consider the 147 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: right brain, they're starting in early nineteen hundred and by 148 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: a little bit over three generations later we were walking 149 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: on the moon. 150 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: I think if I. 151 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: Had told you three generations from being on the moon, 152 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: you would have thought that we would be living in space. 153 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: You would have certainly thought that we would have been 154 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: to Mars. You would have thought that we would have 155 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: been to many of the different planets in our Solar 156 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: system and maybe beyond, because you would have expected for 157 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: there to be a progression didn't happen. Now, I understand 158 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: some of you may say, well, the overall cost of 159 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 2: space exploration, what do we gain from and all those things. Well, 160 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: I think having a majestic vision for the future of 161 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: America has to encompass space travel in some way because 162 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: it expands the horizon of human possibility. 163 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: And I was thinking a. 164 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: Lot about that because there were two stories I thought 165 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: that were being told on Saturday in this country. One 166 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 2: was Trump trying to make America great again by celebrating 167 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 2: the great two hundred and fifty year history of our 168 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: army and what they have accomplished since they were founded 169 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: in seventeen seventy five. The other was a protest against Trump, 170 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: saying we can't have kings. No kings. That was the 171 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: newest rally. But the reason we don't have kings is 172 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: because of the military. Because the Continental Army defeated the 173 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: greatest power in the world in one of the most 174 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: tremendous upsets in the history of the world. And then, 175 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: in an even bigger upset, we didn't return to a kingdom. 176 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: Washington voluntarily gave up power, which has basically never happened 177 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: in the history of the world if you remember your history. 178 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: They compared George Washington to Cincinnatis because they had to 179 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: go all the way back to ancient Rome to even 180 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: find a man in position of power who didn't insist 181 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: on his children taking over, who voluntarily relinquished that power 182 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: and allowed others to rise to the highest position in 183 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 2: the land. And so No Kings actually should have been 184 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: a celebration of what we saw of the military parade. 185 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: All of the people showing up in cities to celebrate 186 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: No Kings should have been showing up in Washington. 187 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 3: D c. 188 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: To celebrate our military which ensured. 189 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: That we did, in fact have no kings in this 190 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: country in that every four years we can pick a 191 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: new leader. They don't see it, they don't make the connection. 192 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna play you some cuts. I was watching the reaction. 193 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: I just felt so sad for all of those people 194 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: showing up at the No King's rally. They've been listening 195 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: to legacy media. They have no real knowledge of what's 196 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: truly taking place. And I was thinking about all this 197 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: as I walked through the Air and Space Museum, And 198 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: do you know who the modern day Wilbur and Orville 199 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: Wright is? Elon Musk. We have been who helped to 200 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: get Trump into office. We have been living in many 201 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: ways in a stagnated technological universe for much of my 202 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: life and for many of your lives. And suddenly the 203 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: horizon of possibility is exploding. Autonomous vehicles trying to go 204 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: to Mars, the creation of brand new spaceships. I'm gonna 205 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: go to break here in a second. But my son 206 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: asked an interesting question as we were walking into the 207 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 2: Air and Space Museum. He said, why is it called 208 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: a rocket ship? So actually a really good question. I 209 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 2: never really thought about it. A ship on seas is 210 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: very different than a rocket plane, which is really what 211 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: the rocket ship is. And I said, I bet it 212 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: derives because people saw the rocket ship as an extension 213 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: of the exploration era, which was fueled by ships. 214 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: And so we don't call. 215 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: It a rocket plane, which actually would make a lot 216 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: more sense, right. We call it a rocket ship because 217 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: the pioneers who discovered the world and mapped it did 218 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: so on ships. And my guess is someone was smart 219 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: enough to say, this is a ro version of the 220 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: ships that allowed us to see the world. They're going 221 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 2: to allow us to explore the universe. Sometimes words become 222 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: so common that you don't think about where they derived from. 223 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 2: So anyway, I spent a lot of time thinking about 224 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: all of this as I was walking around our nation's 225 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: capital over the weekend. And I'm going to continue to 226 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: talk about this because certainly, not only is that going on, 227 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: the future of the Middle East might well be decided 228 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: right now as many people are turning our eyes to 229 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: what's happening in Iran. We're going to continue to update 230 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: you on that all week long. But I want to 231 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: tell you part of preparing for the future is preparing 232 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: for the fact that we're not all going to be 233 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: here forever, and that is trying to take away the 234 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: problems and the pratfalls and the confusion that might arise 235 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: if you pass, And if you pass unexpectedly, do you 236 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: want your family fighting over what you wanted to happen 237 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: with your family, with your state, with your property. Only 238 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: a third of Americans have a will, but it's not 239 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: expensive or burdensome to create one. You spend your whole 240 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: life working to try to take care of your family, 241 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: why not take care of your family after you're gone too. 242 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: That's why you need to check out Trust Andwill dot Com. 243 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: I've got a trust, I've got a will.

How I saw it connected to the military 253 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: parade as well as the No Kings protest, But I 254 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: also thought it's sad. I don't know how many of 255 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: you saw the videos. Many of the people at the 256 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: No Kings protest looked like super old NPR listeners, just 257 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: poorly informed. Here is a seventy four year old woman 258 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: who was at the protest telling a reporter how scared 259 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: she is. She doesn't understand how anyone could have voted 260 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: for Trump. 261 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: This is cut one. 262 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: I just, I just I'm just so scared. I'm seven 263 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: before you resonly. 264 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: I worry about everything. 265 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: And I just, I just I just seem so scared 266 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: and upset and I don't and I don't understand why 267 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: people didn't voted for this person. 268 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: I mean, how sad is that it's not only Trump 269 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: derangement syndrome. I think there is a huge swath of 270 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: the left in this country that is profoundly mentally unstable, 271 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: and I think sadly the media that they consume has 272 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 2: fueled their instability. That woman has never listened to the 273 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: Clay and Buck Show. I guarantee you that woman is 274 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: not listening to Fox News. That woman is marinating in 275 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: the New York Times the Washington Post, both of which 276 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: I read this morning because I want to know what 277 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: their world view is to better understand and comprehend the 278 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: arguments that they make. They don't consume our content. They 279 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: don't even see the counter argument. And that's all I 280 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: could think is I watched these events taking place. I'm 281 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: going to play some more of them because I think 282 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 2: it's important for you to understand what they are thinking, 283 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: because the marketplace of ideas requires that we have better arguments. 284 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: I think we do, and I'm going to talk about 285 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 2: that more coming up meantime. When President Trump signed an 286 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: executive order last month slashing the cost of prescription drug prices, 287 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: he was making his first strides towards reducing the cost 288 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 2: of healthcare in America. We'll see prescription medicines lower cost 289 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: and improved thanks to President Trump. But even when that 290 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: fair pricing kicks in, it's still going to be expensive, 291 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: and you need to do your. 292 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: Shopping to find the best deal. 293 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: That's why you need to check out a new healthcare 294 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: insurance plan called Ease for Everyone.

There are arguments don't really have 302 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: any cogency, and they continue to make the same one. 303 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: But as we went to break there, I played that 304 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 2: seventy four year old woman at the No Kings protest 305 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: telling a reporter how scared she was, wondering how anyone 306 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: could have voted for Trump. I voted for Trump. Most 307 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 2: of you out there listening to us voted for Trump. 308 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: I don't know that you would find very many Trump 309 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: voters crying in the streets if Kamala had won, now, 310 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: the country would have been in a really difficult spot. 311 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 2: It's hard for me to even think about how awful 312 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: things would be if Kamala had won. But we just 313 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: had to go through it with Joe Biden, and I thought, 314 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: surely they're going to come up with a new line 315 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 2: of attack. 316 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: I will say no Kings is. 317 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: Better programming than no Oligarchs because most people didn't know 318 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: what oligarchs were, and no Fascists because most people don't 319 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: really understand what fascism is. People at least understand what 320 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: a king is. But Representative Eric Swalwell, the Congressman from 321 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 2: California who slept with a Chinese spy, not even a 322 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: very good looking Chinese spy, by the way, No offense 323 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 2: to Fang Fang, but like he didn't even get a 324 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: good looking Chinese spy they even have to give They 325 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 2: didn't have to bring in the victorious, secret looking Chinese 326 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: spy to get Swallowell to sleep with her. Here he 327 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: is saying, Trump's hitler. 328 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is America's hitler. 329 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, can you imagine being that sad you went to 330 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: a protest to hear the same argument made for ten years? 331 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's been ten years since Trump came down 332 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 2: the escalator. The Trump era has only increased in his popularity. 333 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: The amount of votes that he has gotten has continued 334 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: to rise. We had a decade the rise of Adolf Hitler. 335 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 2: I just I can't believe that this is the argument 336 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 2: that they are going to be making. And I want 337 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 2: to circle back to what I was saying about the 338 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 2: two different worldviews that are embedded in the in the 339 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: protest and or the celebrations that we saw over the 340 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 2: course of the weekend. Really, no kings and the military 341 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: protest should have been one big celebration, because the only 342 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: reason we don't have kings is because of the colonial army. 343 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: And I'm here in. 344 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: DC and I was thinking about that because the left 345 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 2: is so broken. I went to George Washington University. It's 346 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: just they gave me a scholarship. I graduated in three years. 347 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 2: That's why I went there. It's a largely rich kids school. 348 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 2: I think it's like eighty thousand dollars a year. That 349 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: is just down the street from the White House. And 350 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 2: in the last few years, in the wake of George Floyd, 351 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 2: the students at George Washington University decided that they needed 352 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: to protest, and what they demanded was that the colonial 353 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: mascot be taken off of the university George Washington Colonials. 354 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: When I was there, they decided that this is all real, 355 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: this is not made up. They decided that the colonials 356 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: actually reminded them too much of colonialism and colonization, and 357 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: so they demanded that the mascot be changed. Now, intelligent, 358 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: I was a history major. Intelligent adults should have set 359 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: down these moron kids and they should have said, hey, kids, 360 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 2: we were actually the colonies. The colonial army was fighting 361 00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: back against the colonizer. Just because the names sound somewhat familiar, 362 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 2: you're actually demanding the change of the name that reflects 363 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: an army that fought against the colonizers. The heroes of 364 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: your worldview are actually the colonial army. 365 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: Now. 366 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: I don't know why adults aren't willing to sit down 367 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: with moron kids and point this out. I would be 368 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: happy to do it. I was a history major at GW. Instead, 369 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: they changed the name to the Revolutionaries. It doesn't make 370 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: any sense, but it is I think the foundational element 371 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: here of a bastardization of history and an inability to 372 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: understand history that leads us to the no Kings March, 373 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 2: which is occurring in opposition to an army celebratory march, 374 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: which actually had people dressed up as members of the 375 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: colonial army who ensured that we were. 376 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: Not going to be ruled by kings. 377 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: One of the lessons of history is if you don't 378 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 2: know it, you can get manipulated in a significant way. 379 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 2: And these kids are paying eighty thousand dollars a year 380 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: to go to GW and they are demanding that the 381 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: Colonial Moniker be pulled away. And it's not coincidental that 382 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: the university listen to the morons change the name to Revolutionaries, 383 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: and then within about a year and a half, two 384 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 2: years of changing the name of the mascot, the campus 385 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: was taken over by anti Israel protesters. All of this 386 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: is connected. It's important to recognize how we get to 387 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: where we are. It's often a progression. If you destroy history, 388 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 2: if you destroy our knowledge of history, and you make 389 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: everybody have the memory of a goldfish, then you can 390 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: actually end up with millions of people in this country 391 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: showing up thinking they're on the right side of history, 392 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: arguing for no kings, while Trump is actually celebrating the 393 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 2: fact that we don't have kings by having people dressed 394 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: up as colonial soldiers mar marchdown Constitution Avenue, and they're 395 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: out there arguing that this is an example of fascism 396 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: hilarian in nature, and this is where American democracy dies. 397 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: They have so lost the plot that they're actually arguing 398 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: in favor of in favor of the same thing that 399 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: the march is, but they're not intelligent enough to make 400 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: that connection, and they've. 401 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: Moved from. 402 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 2: Trump is never going to leave office to I don't 403 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: even know what their argument is now, and I think 404 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 2: it's why it's continuing to fail. But I tie this 405 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: all back in with the way I started off the program, 406 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 2: and I really do think that this is important. Aaron 407 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: Space museum. I just want to lay out these numbers 408 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: and I want you to think about it. Nineteen oh three, 409 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: Orville and Wilbur Wright create the airplane. Nineteen twenty seven, 410 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: Charles Lindberg becomes a huge celebrity for flying across the 411 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: Atlantic without stopping. Nineteen sixty nine, we walk on the 412 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: face of the Moon. Since then, we really haven't progressed 413 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 2: in our exploration until now. Elon Musk is potentially I 414 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: think he's going to do it. I think he's going 415 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: to put a man on Mars, and I think it's 416 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: going to accelerate our age of exploration in a way 417 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: that has not occurred, frankly for multiple generations. I think 418 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: Trump sees that. I think it's connected in even though 419 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 2: he's criticized for it. When Trump talks about Greenland, or 420 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: Canada or the Panama Canal, he's actually thinking about America 421 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: and an expansionist, exploratory concept that is not fixed in place. 422 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: It's not static. The American dream is continuing to expand, 423 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: and he's thinking about our country in the way that 424 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 2: American leaders used to as one where we're constantly advancing 425 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: and exploring new lands and bringing new freedoms and I 426 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: think it's connected to the way that he's handled Iran. 427 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 2: Top of the next hour, I'm going to talk all 428 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: about Iran and why I think the people out there 429 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: who are criticizing President Trump over Iran, and there's a 430 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: lot of them on the right, many. 431 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: Of them you may listen to. You may read. 432 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with the marketplace of ideas 433 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 2: anybody out there. Some of you may have seen me 434 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: arguing over the weekend with Mark Cuban, owner of the 435 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks. He came after me. People can attack me 436 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: all they want. That's the marketplace of ideas. Actually, talk 437 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: to my kids about this. Chnology can be good, except 438 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 2: if your dad or your mom happens to have a 439 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: public profile. They can just type in your name on 440 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: Google and there's tons of articles that come up. It's 441 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: probably not going to shock you. Sometimes people don't really 442 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 2: like me. And I've been talking about this with my 443 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 2: kids for years. I think it's been healthy for them. 444 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: I said, look, even when they're five or six years old, 445 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: I said, you guys are gonna get on the internet. 446 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: Now I've got two teenagers, they're obviously on the internet 447 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 2: quite a bit. 448 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: Ten year olds on the internet too. 449 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: They only get their news, by the way, from YouTube 450 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: and TikTok, which is its own crazy worldview to think about. 451 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: But I said, you guys got a good choice. Now 452 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: you can listen to what people on the internet say 453 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: about your dad, good or bad. There's lots of good 454 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: out there, there's lots of bad. You have public profile, 455 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: that happens, I said. Or or you can decide what 456 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: you think about your dad based entirely on the fact 457 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: that you see me every day as your dad and. 458 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: You live with me. Who do you think knows dad better? 459 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: You guys who actually live in the house with me, 460 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: or people writing about me on the internet. And I 461 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: think that's a good lesson in general for all of 462 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: us about public persona, about public perception. We build twenty 463 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 2: foot tall stories of what we think about people, and 464 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 2: they're often six inches deep. The media can be powerful 465 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: in that way. They're like big paper mache creatures. They're 466 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: not steel. Oh that's one hundred feet tall, Old Donald Trump. 467 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: He's hitler. 468 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: And then you actually explore it and you push through 469 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: and you're like, man, that's a mirage. There's not even 470 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: any substance behind it. I think that's the world in 471 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: which we live, and that's why. And I'm right thinking 472 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: about this a lot because working on my book over 473 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 2: the weekend too. It's going to be out in November. 474 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: That's why I think authenticity is all that really matters 475 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 2: in modern day because the younger a kid is with YouTube, 476 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: with TikTok, with everything else they experience, They're not expecting 477 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: to agree with everything. They just want to know that 478 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: you are an authentic version of what you claim to be. 479 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: Authenticity cancels, cancel culture. You can't cancel people who are 480 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: what you think they are. And that's where I feel protected. 481 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: I met a lot of different people over the weekend 482 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: as we were going around to these different events. I'm 483 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: really not any different face to face than I am 484 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: on the radio with you or on television with you. 485 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: There is no difference between what I would say or think, 486 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: for better or worse, and what I would say on 487 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: the radio. Makes it hard to cancel me. And I 488 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 2: think it's what Trump has determined and why his overall 489 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: support has grown, particularly among young people, not because they 490 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: agree with everything he says. You should never agree with 491 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: everything any politician says should never happen, but you should 492 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: respect that the politician is being honest with you about 493 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: what he or she believes, and as soon as you 494 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: find out that they are not, as soon as you 495 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: know that you are being directly lied to, you should 496 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: trust that person less. And we are filled our political 497 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: universe with people who are just weird, not normal liars, 498 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: and a huge number of those people, not just on 499 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: the left, but a huge number of them are There's 500 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: lots of people on the right with that perspective too. 501 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: But I think that is why Trump has grown his 502 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: support over the decade since he came down the escalator, 503 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: because with young people, they've grown up with Trump and 504 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: he is what he puts forward in public to a 505 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: large extent if you actually listen to what he says 506 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 2: and pay attention to what he does as opposed to 507 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: allowing other people to characterize what he does and says. 508 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: Nobody has ever been more transparent or more open in 509 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 2: my life with the media than Trump.

And producer Ali just 545 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: told me that we were scheduled to have the speaker 546 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 2: of the Kanesse, that is basically the Congress of Israel, 547 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 2: Emir Ohanna, was going to join us alive, but instead 548 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 2: he has had to cancel because of war related issues. 549 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: He's going to join us later this week. We will 550 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 2: dive into that and give you the absolute latest on it. 551 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 2: I did want to mention the shooting that happened in Minneapolis. 552 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 2: They caught the guy. They caught him late last night, 553 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: the alleged assassin killer. And certainly this comes on the 554 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: heels of a lot of different acts of violence. We 555 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 2: could run through an entire litany. I was reading the 556 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 2: New York Times this morning, and I saw that Amy 557 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: Cony Barrett this spring that her sister received a note saying, 558 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: I've constructed a pipe bomb, which I recently placed in 559 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 2: amy Cony Barrett's sister's mailbox at her home. This guy 560 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 2: said free Palestine at the end of it, super detailed. 561 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 2: Don't engage in acts of violence. I know we have 562 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 2: said this for four straight years. There are people that 563 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 2: you agree with, there are people that you disagree with. 564 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: I've had to deal with this. We've had to have 565 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 2: private security at my home because death threats have been 566 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: mailed to my home. I had to sit down with 567 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 2: my kids and explain this. We had people parked outside 568 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: of the house throughout the course of the election season. 569 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 2: We're moving because my wife has been so concerned about 570 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: all the threats that we've gotten because of the things 571 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 2: that I say. To an entirely protected neighborhood where we're 572 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 2: going to have armed security all the time, and other 573 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: people who are in the public eye will be living 574 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 2: in this neighborhood where we are, don't do it. If 575 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 2: you are listening to me right now and you are 576 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 2: in any way considering an act of violence based on 577 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 2: something that somebody has said or something that someone has done. 578 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 2: You are the bad guy. You are the bad guy, 579 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat, republic and independent. I 580 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: think this has to be hammered home. Certainly. We have 581 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 2: seen a lot of left wing violence of late. The 582 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 2: media doesn't cover it as much. We know that if 583 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 2: there's anyone on the right who engages an act of violence, 584 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: media will cover it on the front page for days 585 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 2: or weeks, or months or even years, as we saw 586 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 2: in the case of jan six. But do not engage 587 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: in any acts of violence for any motivated reason at all. 588 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 2: On this show, we try not to name a lot 589 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 2: of the individuals who do this, because I do think 590 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: that that motivates them a great deal. So please do 591 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 2: not engage in acts of violence. Control yourselves, use your 592 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 2: voice in constructive manner, not violent ones. We come back 593 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 2: the absolute latest on the Middle East 594 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 3: And
