1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: Friday Edition Clay and but Third Hour. I cannot believe 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: how the time is flying. I actually do feel like 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: this week went by rather quickly. Already into April, we're 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: going to be in the absolute peaked of election mania 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: here in just a matter of a few months. It's 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 2: going to get crazy out there where Honored, you're going 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: to be taking this journey with us as we figure 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: out what the future of the country is going to be. 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: We've got some updates on the I think it safe 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: to say still rather minor earthquake in the New York 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 2: City area. Although New Yorkers, it's just like everything else. 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: When your area is used to something, you are psychologically 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: prepared for it, right, or rather when it's a regular occurrence, 16 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: a little bit right. Meaning the perfect example is everyone 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: I know in South Florida says when it comes to 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: like hurricanes, they know, they pp they get it. They 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: you know, they're ready for it. If the temperature drops 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: below sixty degrees, they completely freak out. You know, they 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: have no idea how to handle it. And New York 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: isn't isn't used to earthquakes at all. I think in California, 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: clay a four point seven or whatever this is barely 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: gets a mention or a notice. Two things. 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: One, you're right about whatever strange weather condition occurs, people 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: can flip out. 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 2: In the South. 28 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: It doesn't take very much snow at all, and the 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: entire region loses its mind. Second part that I think 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: is also true New York and the media that covers 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: New York is uniquely obsessed with New York. 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: So anytime there. 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Is a sneeze, it gets treated as if it's pneumonia 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: in New York. And I'll give you example. You probably 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: remember this. Remember when the power went out in New 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: York City and the media covered it like it was 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: the Titanic going down. I mean, if you were in 38 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: any other rest of the country, the fact that the 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: power was out in New York was the number one 40 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: story anywhere. If the power had gone out in Cleveland, 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: nobody would have even noticed. We had a flood that 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: took over half of downtown Nashville about twenty years ago. 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: Nobody even knew the flood happened. If anything happens to 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: New York, the meat there's so many media members there 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: everybody is on top of it in a way that 46 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: doesn't occur in much of the rest of the nation. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: Well, that's also why weather on the East Coast and 48 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: particularly in the Ascella Corridor was always a national news 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: story because it's going to affect how New York Times 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: writers are able to travel over the weekend. You know, 51 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 2: that's a big deal. So, yes, that is true about 52 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: the focus. But back to the election cycle and where 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: we're heading. Wasn't it expecting to see this getting a 54 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: lot of attention today or can see this at all? 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: Dwayne the Rock Johnson was on Fox this morning. We 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: all know the Rock. I think is he the highest 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: paid actor in the world per movie now or he's 58 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: something close to that, right. 59 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm going this weekend to see him buck. He's come 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: back to WWE. I think he was taught to our 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: friend Will Caine because I saw this clip and I 62 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: think you're to what you're referring was from that interview. 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: He is wrestling. I don't know what percentage of our 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: audience knows anything about wrestling. He is wrestling Roman Reigns 65 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: in what my wife would say is the most attractive 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: wrestling match in the history of mankind. So for women 67 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: out there, the Rock and Roman reigns, i'm told are 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: incredibly good looking, and they are engaged in a wrestling 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: match on Saturday that we will be attending. Laura might 70 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: not come back with me so that she may stay 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and hang out with those incredibly good looking men. 72 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: But that is what he's doing all this prep for. 73 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't believe he's been in a WrestleMania like a decade. 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: That's where he initially got famous. But to your point, 75 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: I think he's the highest paid actor in Hollywood basically 76 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: now maybe maybe Tom Cruise. Yeah, he's in at like 77 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: a thirty to forty million point that's on the back 78 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: end of the film, kind of range that people, very 79 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: few people ever make it to. But here he is 80 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: saying that he regrets endorsing. This was on Will Kane 81 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: with Will Kane. Yeah, Will's an old buddy of ours. 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: Will asked about this the Rocks. 83 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: Is he regrets endorsing Joe Biden, And well, let's hear 84 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: what he says Play twenty one. 85 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 3: The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was 86 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: one I thought was the best decision for me at 87 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: that time. Am I going to do that again this year. 88 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: That answers No, I'm. 89 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 3: Not going to do that because what I realized, what 90 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: that caused back then was something that tears me up 91 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 3: in my guts, which is division. And that got me. 92 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: Not that I'm afraid of it at all, but it's 93 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: just I realized that this level of influence. I'm gonna 94 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: keep my politics to myself and I think it's between 95 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: me and the ballot box. But I will tell you this, well, 96 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: like a lot of us out there not trusting of 97 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: all politicians, I do trust the American people and I 98 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: trust that whoever they vote for, that's going to be 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: my president, and that's who I'm going to support one 100 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: hundred percent. 101 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad answer. I think that 102 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: is the answer that almost every politician, every major celebrity 103 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: in the world of sports and entertainment would have given 104 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: in the eighties, the nineties, the two thousands. That's the 105 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan answer, that's the Tiger Woods answer, that's the 106 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Rock answer. 107 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: I'll just point this out. 108 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: Men are going to vote overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. It 109 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: may be nationwide men buck, it may be men plus 110 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty I mean, we're talking about sixty 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: forty sixty five. Thirty five is in play for men 112 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: who are going to vote for Donald Trump. I think 113 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: a lot of athletes got seduced by social media. I 114 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: actually saw I give him credit, Kevin Hart. 115 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: Did you see this as amazing quote? 116 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: He was talking about how when he got involved in 117 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: BLM that people on social media were calling him a 118 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: black king and he's a comedian. He's like, nobody he's 119 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: five to four or whatever he is. He's like, nobody's 120 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: ever called me a king of anything. He's like, I 121 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: got kind of all caught up in it. He was like, 122 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I went to the George Floyd funeral and he said 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: he was dressed like Carlton from The Fresh Prince and 124 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: he said, and again this is comedically, but he's talking 125 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: about He's like, that's not my lane. There are people 126 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: who are social justice warriors and they want to be 127 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: focused on politics and they want to bring change. It's like, 128 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: I just want to tell jokes and entertain people. And 129 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I thought his revelation that he got seduced by the 130 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: response that he got on social media. 131 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: I think a lot of guys. 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: Lebron the Rock, I think a lot of them look 133 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: and pay attention to social media, and then they realize 134 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: it's not the real world. I don't know what the 135 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: math for Lincoln Financial Field would be on WrestleMania Saturday 136 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: and Sunday. Like I said, I'm going to be there 137 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: with my kids and my wife. I bet it would 138 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: be a very pro Trump audience, fucking the same way. 139 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: You know, every time Trump walks into an arena in 140 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: the UFC, the entire place on its feet, chanting USA, USA. 141 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: And cheering Trump. 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: Sports fans I think do not respond well to Joe Biden, 143 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: and they certainly don't respond to the idea. Do you 144 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: see Letitia James up in New York we're talking about 145 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: the earthquake. I mean, I still think this is kind 146 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: of a political earthquake. They're suing Nasau County to ensure 147 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: that men who identify as women can compete in women's athletics. 148 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: Did you see that? La? 149 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: I was like, what is going on in the world. 150 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: If you're just a random sports fan guy out there, 151 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't think you ever anticipated that your daughters would 152 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: be competing against men and that you would be getting 153 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: called a transphobe if you didn't And this comes back 154 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: to me. There are a lot of people who are 155 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: legacy Democrat voters. I grew up a voting Democrat. I've 156 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: talked about this on the show. A lot of people 157 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: stay committed to the team even when the team doesn't 158 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: represent what they believe anymore. 159 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: When did you first realize that Democrat was not the 160 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: way to be? What was like woul Do you remember 161 00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: like a first time. 162 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, like you read had a real life of Jesus moment. 163 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I've talked about this a little bit. 164 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've done it on the show. 165 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: It was actually a sports story. University of Missouri had 166 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: a hunger strike that they were doing because they said 167 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: there was racism on campus. Do you remember the story 168 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: like there was like Amazoo, remember, yeah, at Missoo And 169 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: I knew that story well because I was covering college football. 170 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: I knew that campus well. I knew a lot of 171 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: people there. And you can criticize, you know, the University 172 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: of Missouri probably for many different things. Missoo's not a 173 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: racist place. It's a very welcoming, its fabulous school, I think. 174 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: But everybody suddenly in sports media. I think this was 175 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: like twenty fourteen. This was pre Trump. Everybody in sports 176 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: media just accepted that Missoo was a horribly racist place 177 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: and even was saying, oh, it's so brave. The football 178 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: team Bucks said they weren't going to play based on 179 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: this alleged racism on campus, and I. 180 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: Just said, okay. 181 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: First of all, there were like three instances. Somebody yelled 182 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: the N word somewhere allegedly not a student. Somebody drew 183 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: a poop swastika, if you remember, nobody knew who did it, 184 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: and somebody else had like scroll the racial slur somewhere 185 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: in a bathroom, and they were protesting, they were having 186 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: campus sit ins, they took over the quad and I 187 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: actually did the research and wrote about it and I said, 188 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: this is all bs and it was. That's one of 189 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: the first times. It's two things that was identity politics 190 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: in sports, where it was like, oh, the sport doesn't matter. 191 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Oh these poor black athletes, how dare they have to 192 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: go to the University of Missouri on scholarship? 193 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: And I didn't stand. I was like, this is not right. 194 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: The other one was. 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: When ESPN gave Caitlyn Jenner the SPI and I know 196 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Jenner now I'm not judging Caitlyn Jenner as an 197 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: awful person, but the idea that that was a heroic 198 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: and courageous thing to decide to change your gender, and 199 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: that it was worthy of every athlete standing and cheering. 200 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: I those were two moments where I just started to say, Hey, 201 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: the world is like discordant and this is a record 202 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: scratch moment for me. 203 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 2: So it was gender and race politics that actually were 204 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: the thing that first got you moving in the in 205 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: the other direction. And yeah, I've said before when I 206 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: was I mean, I was in high school and I 207 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: was just sort of thinking about the formation of my politics, 208 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: and I think it was a sophomore and there were 209 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: just discussions going on about how basically, and you know, 210 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: this was that I was considered a very elite school. 211 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: You know, if you even had a prayer of getting 212 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 2: into an IVY League school, for example, or something like 213 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: an IVY League school from my high school and you 214 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: were a white or Asian student, you I mean, it 215 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: was like fifteen hundred and up or else you're wasting 216 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 2: your time. Yeah, and then there were black and Latino 217 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: students in my class, and they were a couple of 218 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 2: hundred points lower and already the college guidance discussion was 219 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: like do you want to go to hert Yale? And 220 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: I remember sitting there saying like, they're they're they're like 221 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: some of these kids are literally Vietnamese immigrants, like their 222 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: parents came here from Vietnam and their parents speak no 223 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 2: English and they have no money, and their kids just 224 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: worked incredibly hard and now they get the scholarship to 225 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: this high school, but they're being told that they have 226 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: to get two hundred points more than some kid who's 227 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: you know, who's uh, you know, mom and dad are 228 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: both working professionals, but happened to be Puerto Rican or whatever. 229 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: And now you know, that was when I was like, 230 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: there's something wrong here, and people would tell me, oh no, 231 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: there's a history of I'm like no, no, no, no, no, 232 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: this is not and you know, I was like fifteen, 233 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: but still it was. I could see it then. So yeah, 234 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: affirmative action in college admissions was when I first realized, 235 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: hold on a second, there's a problem here with what 236 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: Because I grew up in New York City, man, everybody 237 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: was a Democrat. Everybody was a Democrat. 238 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I wrote right about some of 239 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: this in American Playbook, and you you know, see and 240 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: other people see so notch. People attack me, you know, 241 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, you voted for this. I'm not trying 242 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: to hide anything that I've done in my past. But 243 00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: it's why I think I'm optimist. 244 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: Think because switched parties three times, by the way, as 245 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: a as a politician, I think it was three times. Definitely. 246 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: That's yeah. 247 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: Well, certainly Reagan did, right, I mean, and Trump, you 248 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: could argue pretty clearly was for much of his life. 249 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: I think he said publicly. I mean again, he's like 250 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: you New York City guy. I mean, I think he 251 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of just engaged in the political landscape that was 252 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: around him. But my point on that is, I'm actually confident, 253 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: and maybe I shouldn't be, but I but I am 254 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: confident that if you make the right case, the American 255 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: people are persuadable. And so for me, I'm always thinking 256 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people like me, guys and 257 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: girls out there who may have grown up and just 258 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: kind of gravitated towards the Democrat Party for a variety 259 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: of reasons. But now they look at it and they 260 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: say that the Democrat Party of the of the eighties 261 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: and the nineties and even the early two thousands is 262 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: not anything at all like what it is today. And 263 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: I think Elon Musk has shared that meme, which I 264 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: think is so well done. I'm not sure who created 265 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: it the first time, but it's the guy who's a 266 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: little bit left of center and he's like, hey, this 267 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: was me and you know, two thousand and four and 268 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: then he hasn't moved at all, and the Democrat Party 269 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: has gone so far left wing. And for me, identity, 270 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: politics and sports are connected and I don't feel like 271 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: I've changed at all. But now I'm like a right 272 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: wing zealot. That's how people would describe you in the 273 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: world of sports, and I think I'm just a normal 274 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: same person. 275 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean different stuff. But Churchill was initially a 276 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: Conservative in Parliament and then became a Liberal and then 277 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: became a conservative again. So there you go. Pretty good dude. 278 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: By the way, history if you had to point to 279 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: somebody who was right about the biggest issue in the 280 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: history of his life, and he's like a transformative impact 281 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: on it. 282 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: He's like the Davy Crockett of Britain who that's well said. 283 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: That is very well said, Thank you, sir. That's what 284 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: I'm here for. L we'll take some of your calls 285 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: from your VP emails and also Lee Green would coming 286 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: up here just a moment.

They give mom a free ultrasound. When 294 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: that happens, a baby's chance at life doubles. That's because 295 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: when a pregnant mother connects with their unborn child emotionally 296 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: here's that heartbeat, and witnesses the tiny movements going on 297 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: within her body, she is much more likely to choose life.

First of all, we went outside 325 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: and like held paper plate. 326 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. 327 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Tennessee was the apex of scientific knowledge 328 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: at the time. 329 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: Buck. 330 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: But what I remember is we all got paper plates 331 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties and we went outside with them, 332 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: with the idea being that somehow the paper plates were 333 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: gonna protect us from going blind. I don't remember exactly, 334 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: we certainly were in school and we each made like 335 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: did you We made paper plates and walked outside with 336 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: the paper plates to protect ourselves from going blind but 337 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: also be able to watch the I think the idea was, 338 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: you're supposed to see the reflection on the plate. 339 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: I don't even remember.

I'm a wet blanket on 342 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: this issue. I do not understand why it's so exciting 343 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: to see this. So I'll look at a photo of 344 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: it and say, Okay, that's what it looks like. Thank 345 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: you for that. I'm very protective. You know, I don't 346 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: you wear headphones you're radio. Some of you again are 347 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: VIPs at clean buck dot comutice. I only wear a 348 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: single ear earpiece because I do not want over time 349 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: my left I feel like if my right ear I 350 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: start to go deaf because of all the noise in 351 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: it from all the radio from all these decades. I'm 352 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: hopefully going to be doing radio. At least my left 353 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: ear will be fine. You're already playing the long game there. 354 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: It's not uncommon for people in radio because we wear 355 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: red headsets for like three hours. I try to protect 356 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: myself by putting it like halfway on. I had no 357 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: idea if that has any impact at all. Also, don't 358 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: ever change the audio. So I'm hopeful that my hearing 359 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: will not get really bad, which is a lot of 360 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: radio guys do have major hearing issues, and I think 361 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: it's connected to this. By the way, Greg, just so 362 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: you know, you're not leaving early today, right, take a 363 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: long weekend in addition to the eclipse on Monday. All right, 364 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: Laura Travis listening had questions that she wants me to 365 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: grill you on about your eclipse day off. So at 366 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: the end of the show. We will do that, but 367 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: first Lee Greenwood coming up next.

Lee, honored to have you on the program. Sir, 391 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: How did you come up with this idea and how 392 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: did it get started here where you have these God 393 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: Blessed the USA Bibles in partnership with the one and 394 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: only Donald J. Trump. 395 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 4: Thanks very much, guys, and nice to talk to you. 396 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 4: We've actually been promoting the God bless the USA Bible 397 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 4: for three years and it sort of just came to 398 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 4: me after I had sang in New York for a 399 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 4: lot of immigrants who had became American citizens. They asked 400 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 4: if they could use my song, which I sang for 401 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: ten different presidents in the Immigration film, and so a 402 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 4: new citizen who comes in this country. They're fifteen hundred 403 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 4: of those swearing in ceremonies a year in the United 404 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 4: States to bring legal immigrants into the country. And after 405 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 4: I started talking to some of them about America's history, 406 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 4: and they were very quick to tell me that they 407 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 4: knew a lot about America because they had to study 408 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: it for seven years before become a citizen and I said, well, 409 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: then are you a Christian? And I said, about seventy 410 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: percent of them are. And so what's wrong then with 411 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 4: putting documents of our founded fathers with a Bible? And 412 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 4: we started that three years ago. Now my association with 413 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 4: the president, of course, you know that he comes on 414 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 4: stage and uses my song as his entrance song, and 415 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: I've sang for him several times. I am not afraid 416 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 4: to tell you I'm a Christian and a conservative, so 417 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 4: in that regard, his entrance to the market selling the 418 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 4: Bible is actually not in a partnership with me, but 419 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 4: with the company that sells the Bible. 420 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: We're talking to Lee Greenwood. I'm a big fan. 421 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about some of your performances, 422 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: but I want to mention this one in particular because 423 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm curious if people still bring it up to you. 424 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: My dad is a huge University of Tennessee fan, and 425 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: I am as well. He was at the Sugar Bowl 426 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six when Tennessee played Miami, and you came 427 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: out and saying I believe at halftime during that game, 428 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: and obviously from the Hills of Tennessee is one of 429 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: the lines in your song. I'm curious if people still 430 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: ask you about that. That's been almost forty years ago now, 431 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: and that particular performance. And as the second part of that, 432 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: what performance to you and or performances when you look 433 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: back on your career do you consider to be the 434 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: most iconic, the most impressive, the most from your perspective, enjoyable, 435 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: of all the many thousands that you've done. 436 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 4: Wow, that's a great question, and I will tell you, 437 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 4: first of all, we yes, we are fans of ut Gobalds. 438 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 4: My wife actually was in the system at Chattanooga University 439 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 4: of Tennessee there and I've sang more times with the 440 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 4: University of Tennessee Proud of the southlamd fan than anyone else, 441 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: like fourteen times. That particular performance at the Sugar Bowl 442 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 4: I remember like yesterday, and we didn't win the national 443 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 4: champion that year, a championship that year, but we did 444 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 4: beat Miami thirty five to seven, and I sang at 445 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 4: the halftime. That was probably the first time I'd ever 446 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 4: sang God Bless the usay in a stadium at a 447 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 4: football game. Now, when we moved forward and talk about 448 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 4: those moving moments, we've done like fourteen USO tours. I 449 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: can remember seeing on the US's Knimics touring with Bob 450 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 4: Hope and singing for the military all over the world. 451 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 4: There have been places where I can't even tell you 452 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 4: where we sang for the military, and it was a 453 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 4: very moving moment. But I will say this, right after 454 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 4: the terrorist attack in America and they of course brought 455 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: down the trade towers and then the plane went down 456 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 4: in Pennsylvania with some wonderful brave Americans, and then they 457 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 4: also ran a plane into the Pentagon, which a lot 458 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 4: of people don't even know about or remember. I sang 459 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 4: at Yankee Stadium for the Fireman's Memorial. There were three 460 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 4: hundred and thirty firemen that died, and it was Bette Midler, 461 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: myself and Mark Anthony who were the performers there at 462 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: at Yankee Stadium. That was a moving moment. And then 463 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: we sang for the Policeman's Memorial at Carnegie Hall, coordinated 464 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 4: by then Police Chief Bernard Currig, who is still a 465 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 4: friend of mine, and there would over one hundred cops 466 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 4: that were killed as well. Then let's move to the 467 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: fourth game of the World Series. Now that was more 468 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 4: important because it had such a wide audience. One of 469 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 4: the things Terris wanted to do was to stop our 470 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 4: way of life. And the first thing we wanted to 471 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 4: do was say, you will not stop us from having 472 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: sports events. It's the what we entertain ourselves with. It's good, 473 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: healthy entertainment, and the competition between cities and teams is 474 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: something we all look forward to. So I wore the red, 475 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 4: white and blue jacket, and you can google that find 476 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 4: it on YouTube. But the only time I ever wore 477 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: that jacket for a live performance. It is retired and 478 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: will probably go to the Hall of Fame or the 479 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 4: Science Museum. But I wore the colors of America because 480 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure the world knew that me, 481 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 4: particularly who wrote God Bless the USA, wanted to let 482 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 4: the worst so the world no, we would get up 483 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: off our knees and we will sing for American pride. 484 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 4: And that that's why we're that jacket at depthtick for 485 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 4: your time. 486 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: We're speaking of Lee Greenwood country music superstar right now. 487 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: And Lee, obviously your song has gotten this this new 488 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: act to this new phase, if you will. God Blessed 489 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 2: the USA because Trump uses it and so it is 490 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: very much associated in the minds of a lot of us, 491 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: uh these days with Trump and the America First movement, 492 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: that that he is the center, the center of and 493 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: at the forefront of I'm wondering if you just tell us, 494 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: how did you come up with this originally? What spurred 495 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 2: you on to write it? What was what was in 496 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: your mind? I mean, how did you decide I'm just 497 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: going to write a truly patriotic anthem that would stand 498 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 2: the test of time for decades. 499 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 4: It's yeah, you know, it's a long ride. I was 500 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 4: raised in California on a farm. My father joined the 501 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: Navy right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and I 502 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: mean right after, like days after. We were living in 503 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 4: Los Angeles at the time, so I was born in 504 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 4: La Hospital. My mother divorced my father because he was 505 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 4: in the Navy for four years and Merchant Marine for 506 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 4: two years. I did not even know Hi until I 507 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 4: was almost twenty and that's not why I wrote the song. 508 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: But let me just say my way of life, being 509 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: raised on a farm by my grandparents was something very special. 510 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 4: I spent twenty more years before I had the opportunity 511 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: to find an audience for my career, and I spent 512 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 4: those twenty years in Nevada alongside many great entertainers, one 513 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 4: of whom was Elvis. Presley worked in the same hotel 514 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 4: as I did. That was the Hilton in those days, 515 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 4: now the Westgate Resort, and I always watched Elvis's show 516 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: when I had a moment, and he would sing the Trilogy, 517 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 4: which was the ended with the battle him of the Republic. Now, 518 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 4: Elvis was very reverent. He probably could have been a preacher. 519 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: And if you ask TG Shepherd, he will tell you 520 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 4: he's one of the TCB recipients of that necklace taking 521 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: care of business that Elvis ged to those people who 522 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 4: were close to him. And when I heard him sing 523 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 4: that song, I said, if I ever get my own career, 524 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 4: I want to close my show with the Trilogy, just 525 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 4: like Elvis did. So fast forward I get my career. 526 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 4: We explode on the scene as a writer, singer, musician 527 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 4: and a touring artist and we did every doghouse, outhouse 528 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 4: and roundhouse for three years, and after the release of 529 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 4: three or four albums that put us on the charts 530 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 4: consistently for five years, I wrote God bless usay just 531 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 4: because I'm in my bus one night leaving a concert 532 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: and I'd seen some military people, some Marines who had 533 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 4: presented the flag that night and the nasal anthem, and 534 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, maybe it's time instead of 535 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 4: doing someone else's song, I write my own song. And 536 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 4: I went ahead and did it, and I wrote the closer. 537 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: I took it home to my producer, Jerry Crutchfield. It 538 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: was hard to do any demos because we were on 539 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 4: the road so very much, so I made the demo 540 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 4: win my bus. I had my own recording studio in 541 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 4: the bus, and he looked at me. He said, Lee, 542 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 4: I don't know that this is a good idea, but 543 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 4: if you want to do that, we'll put it on 544 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 4: the album. The album was called You've Got a Good 545 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 4: Love Coming. It was a nineteen eighty five released for summer. 546 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 4: When I took the album to Universal in Los Angeles, 547 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: it was Irving Azof, who ran Universal in all of 548 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 4: MCA Records and Movie Division, who actually made the call 549 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 4: to have God Bless the USA released as a single 550 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 4: that year in nineteen eighty five. Had they not done that, 551 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: I don't believe anyone would ever have heard it. It 552 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 4: would have been buried in the album You Got a 553 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: Good Love Coming would have been a hit, because we 554 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: had a video we filmed in the London train station 555 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: with a couple of a couple of people who made 556 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 4: cameo appearances. But Lo and Behold made the song on 557 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 4: radio and the only mistake they made was it peaked 558 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 4: before July fourth and nineteen eighty five because they released 559 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 4: it a little too soon. So you know, there's the 560 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 4: story of it. 561 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: Lee. How many presidents have you had the good fortune 562 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: to meet in your career? 563 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: I bet the answer is a bunch of them. 564 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: And how would you assess Trump, who I think it's 565 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: fair to say you want to see back in the 566 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: White House in twenty twenty four, compared to the other 567 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: presidents that you've had the good fortune to meet over 568 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: the years. 569 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 4: Let's wind back when I was sixteen. I was a 570 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 4: drum major from my high school marching band in Sacramento, California, 571 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 4: when at that time Vice President Nixon made a visit 572 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 4: to Sacramento and I'm standing next to the airplane when 573 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 4: he stepped off the aircraft and shook hands with me. 574 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 4: That was the first dignitary I had ever met. I 575 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 4: then helped Ronald Reagan for his gluminatorial campaign in California, 576 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 4: and I was still a struggling musician. After I moved 577 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 4: to Tennessee, I get my career, and then USA begins 578 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: to be known as Ronald Reagan's song in his movie. 579 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 4: And then I met Vice President Bush at the time 580 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 4: with a White House performance forty one. Became my very 581 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 4: close friend, and I still admire him and Barbara and 582 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 4: the way that they conducted their lives. Don't forget he 583 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 4: was a Navy flyer. He was a hero in the war, 584 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 4: was rescued by a submarine. He was the head of 585 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 4: the CIA, and he was very smart. And I believe 586 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 4: when those two, Reagan and Bush were together in the 587 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 4: White House, Reagan learned that Bush was smart. Bush learned 588 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 4: that Reagan knew how to entertain an audience. And I 589 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 4: think that's what was this was so unique about it, 590 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: all right, So Reagan gets out of office, Bush becomes president, 591 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: and we opened the Ronald Reagan Library in Shiney Valley, California. 592 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 4: Johnny Grant, the mayor of Hollywood, knows that I was 593 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 4: a favorite of Ronald Reagan's. He wants me to sing 594 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 4: in front of five presidents, and I will name them 595 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 4: for you. It was Nixon, Carter, Ford, Bush, and Reagan, 596 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 4: all their wives and Lady Birt Johnson, whose husband had 597 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: already been deceased. So I sang in front of those five. 598 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: Forward another ten years, we have hurricane relief at Texas 599 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: A and M and I sing again for five presidents 600 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 4: in this particultar instance, I've emceed the event as well, 601 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 4: and I'm singing for Presidents Obama, Clinton, Carter, and both 602 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: Bush presidents all sitting in. 603 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 2: The front row. 604 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 4: And I have that picture on my website if you 605 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 4: want to go look at it Lee Gringwood dot com 606 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 4: showing my wife and I standing behind the five presidents 607 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 4: who all post for pictures with the entire cast. But 608 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 4: it's really interesting that when you are around a president 609 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 4: and secret Service gets a handle on you and they 610 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 4: understand who you are a visual contact, then it's not 611 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 4: so strict. But at first, of course, you have to 612 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 4: clear all of the senses, you have to go through 613 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: all the identification procedures. Once that's done, you're just kind 614 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 4: of a member of the family backstage. And I've had 615 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 4: so many experiences and we could talk a lot about 616 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 4: that as we go along with all of the presidents. 617 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 4: Of course, you know. I was in the National Downment 618 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: of the Arts Council, appointed by President forty three, and 619 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 4: I'm now a trustee of the Kennedy Center appointed by 620 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: President Trump. 621 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: Lee Greenwood country music superstar of God Bless the USA, 622 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: Fame and so many other songs.

If you're among the OutKick and the 676 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck VIPs who are watching this right now, 677 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: we appreciate all of you. And you can see that's 678 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: a coffee mug which will be up soon. All right, 679 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: Producer Greg. For those of you who don't know taking 680 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: off Monday, may call in. I told my wife she 681 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: was listening. She had two questions for you. These are 682 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: Laura Travis questions for producer Greg. Do you own She 683 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: wasn't sure whether she had more or less respect for you, 684 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: So question number one, do you own a telescope? 685 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,479 Speaker 2: Yes? I do? Okay. She says that is a. 686 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: Sign that you are actually a interested in astronomy and 687 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: not just pretending. So that's a plus from her perspective. 688 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: Second question she has, what if it's cloudy you are 689 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: taking a day off. What if you can't see the 690 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: heavens at all and it is a super cloudy day, 691 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: don't you feel like you just wasted a vacation day. 692 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: No, well, it depends where we are going. 693 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 5: Certainly there are there's a chance of clouds cause we're 694 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 5: right on Lake Ontario, but slightly if you drive slightly 695 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 5: north or northeast, we should be clear of the clouds. 696 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 5: So you need to be mobile. That's part of the 697 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 5: that's a key. 698 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 1: But I mean the clouds would destroy the entire purpose 699 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: of eclipse. 700 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 2: Right. 701 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 5: Rain and the clouds that we've had the last few 702 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 5: days here. If that were happening now, it would be 703 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 5: a washout. Yes, well, let's. 704 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: Not get our eclipse watcher friends anxious here, Clay, I 705 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be fine. You know, the sun is 706 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: very big, as is the moon, and you'll probably be 707 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 2: able to see it up in the sky with the 708 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 2: silly glasses. So we are hopeful for all of you 709 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 2: out there who are going to watch this. I'm wearing 710 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 2: the silly glasses right now. Are you wearing the silly glasses? 711 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 4: Now? 712 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: I've got them. I mean, I don't think we're going 713 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 2: to go outside. 714 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, who many of you will listen to later 715 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: in the day, had a fabulous tweet. 716 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: You can go vote. 717 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: By the way, producer Greg, you are winning fifty two 718 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: to forty eight. So this is again we don't know 719 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: what the three AM ballots are are going to decide 720 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna be on. But Jesse Kelly has the best 721 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: response on so far. What kind of hippie operation are 722 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: you boys running over there? My guys aren't even allowed 723 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: to look out the window. So we are incredibly generous bosses, 724 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: I guess buck in Matt context there, here we. 725 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 2: Go and you know a great thing is for whether 726 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 2: you're gonna watch the clips or not, you drink yourself 727 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 2: some delicious Crocket coffee from Crocketcoffee dot Com. And that 728 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 2: means that you'll be even more focused, more energetics, more 729 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: ready to go about your whole day. I'm gonna have 730 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 2: a nice mellow weekend. Oh wow, he's holding up some 731 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 2: of those sunglasses.
