1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Third hour, Clay end Buck kicks off. Now the big 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: news of the day at the top of the show, 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: just to recap right as we came on air, I mean, 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: within moments, the Senate had passed on a fifty one 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: to fifty vote the Big Beautiful Bill. Jd Vance had 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: to be the tie break on that one. Tom Tillis, 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: Rand Paul who's the third, somebody else didn't go Oh 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: Collins didn't vote for So yep, that was what happened there. Now, 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: thank you play for the catch. It goes back to 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: the House side before it goes to the President's desk 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: for signature. The House is gonna there's gonna be some 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: squawking from the Freedom Caucus about it. I don't think 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: they're going to sabotage the Trump agenda at this late 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: moment on the Big Beautiful Bill, but they're gonna be. 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: They're gonna you know, look, they're allowed to have their 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: say on it, and they will. So that will be 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: a thing that occurs in the next few days, and we're 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: probably gonna get to a signature before the holiday. Hopefully 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: that is how this will go. So that that's the 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: big news and then we have the most interesting visit 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: of the day was Donald Trump going down to Alligator Alcatraz, 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: which is in o Choppie O Choppy, Florida, which is 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: near Everglades City, which I can tell you is not 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: really much of a city. It is really middle of Nowheresville. 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I think o Choppy, uh is. It has one hundred 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: people something like that lives and lives in the in 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: the It is unincorporated territory, so it's not even I 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: think a township per se. It's quite small. But that 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: was the one, if you're wondering, it wasn't Lake Okeachobee. 30 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: I know Lake Okuchobe. O Choppy was the new place. 31 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: So that's where they have this airstrip that is a 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: place to put illegal migrat it's illegal aliens before they 33 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: are deported. And Trump is saying, if you try to 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: run from the gators or swim from the gators, it's 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: going to be a bad day for you. So there's 36 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: all that going on, and then he got into Kami, Mom, Donnie, 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: do you have anything in the Alligator Alcatraz. The team 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: is saying that all you have to do is be 39 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: able to not zigzag but outrun the nearest person to you, 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: which is that is always true and that is mean, 41 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: that's very mean. Clay would Clay would not leave me 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: behind to get eaten by gators, right, Clay probably correct, Yes, 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: I would be. 44 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: Again I've said on this program before, I am prepared 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: to save anyone from an alligator attack. If you see 46 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: me near a swamp, I've got your back, So just 47 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: don't go in the water. But if they come out 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: of the water, like in Crocodile Dundee, I know that's 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: crocodile versus an alligator, then I'll be like mc dundee 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: right there to protect you. By the way, that movie 51 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: also so still a lot of fun if you've got 52 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: kids and you want to watch some movies during the 53 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: July fourth holiday, whether it's not great, maybe you're sitting around. 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: We've been watching all the Harry Potter movies in the 55 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 2: Travis household. 56 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: And they're still really good. So props JK. Rowling. 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: I think she may have a future in this creative 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: industry space. But that alligator Alcatraz thing, and I think 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: I know we said it last hour, but I do 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: think it's so important. Trump and DeSantis are a whale 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: of a team, and I know Ron DeSantis only has 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: whatever it is, a year and a half left basically 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: as the governor of Florida. But I would not be 64 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: surprised if DeSantis ends up in some form or fashion 65 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: as a part of Trump two point zero cabinet. And 66 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: what I mean by that is there's constant doing these 67 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: jobs takes a lot. So so far we have had 68 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: pretty great stability in Trump two point zero cabinet universe. 69 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: But at some point some of these guys, probably after 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: en gals, after the mid terms, are going to start 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: to say, hey, I want to do something different. I'm 72 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: burned out two years of going full speed doing X, 73 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 2: Y or Z. There's something else that I want to do. 74 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: It wouldn't shock me if Trump comes back to DeSantis. 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: Remember there was some talk about DeSantis potentially being the 76 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: Secretary of Defense when it was uncertain about whether heg 77 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: Seth was going to be confirmed. And that's another example 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: of jd Vance breaking a tie fifty to fifty in 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: the Senate. Jd Vance gets the vote to get heg 80 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: Seth in and Pete has done a very very good job. 81 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: Since this is also an example and the big beautiful 82 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: bill you've got jd Vance breaking the tie. This is 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: why having a little bit of a buffer in the 84 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 2: Senate fifty three forty seven, man, it would be great 85 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: to be up to fifty four or fifty five or 86 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: fifty six, as it pertains to to where we're headed 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: on next. But the Trump DeSantis relationship very strong, and 88 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: I think it's important to point out that by and large, 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 2: most of you out there who voted Trump, I really 90 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: can't hardly point to anything in the first six months 91 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: and say, hey, I think Trump could have done a 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: better job on this. Politics the art of the possible. 93 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: So I understand that people are saying, oh, this is 94 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: my number one issue, and this hasn't been addressed completely 95 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 2: to the ability that I would like. You can't make 96 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: people do what there is not the political will for 97 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: them to do. So you and Ibuck, we talked about 98 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: this somem earlier, were very troubled by the national debt. 99 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: When the Tea Party got its start, national debt was 100 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: ten trillion dollars. National debt is soon going to be 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: forty trillion dollars. That's untenable. But until there is a 102 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: political will to address it, and you can't solve it 103 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 2: by increasing tax rates that doesn't work. Ultimately, I think 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to dial back spending. This is inevitable, 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: but that political will is not there yet. So in 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: the meantime you have two options. You can either whine 107 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: and complain, and some people are choosing that because it's 108 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: not kick your legs, scream like a child, have a 109 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: temper tantrum. Or you can do what you and I 110 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: are talking about. Now, Hey, this bill is going to pass, 111 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: and now it's time to try to figure out how 112 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: do we grow the economy as rapidly as we possibly 113 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: can to help to lead to a surplus through growth 114 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: as opposed to a surplus through cuts. That is the 115 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: new hope. And to me, if we can get it 116 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: to three four percent growth, everything changes. 117 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: Yes. So that's the case for optimism, and I agree 118 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: with you on that. The case for optimism is not 119 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: that everyone's going to see the wisdom of iron sorry 120 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: ran Paul's math and uh and make massive changes to 121 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: the biggest spending programs and priorities of the United States 122 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: government now and for the last, uh well all of 123 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: our lifetimes. So yeah, that's not gonna happen. So hopefully 124 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: Trump just has the economy so juiced and so in 125 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: fuego that some very good things can happen. What will 126 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: make things a lot worse is if the commed mom 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Donnie is able to take control. Trump spoke about this. 128 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: There's a marine one noise in the background, but we 129 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: wanted you to hear this. This has cut seven. This 130 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: is look. Even President Trump's win and we all see this. 131 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: This is concerning when somebody gets the wind that is 132 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: back in someplace as important as New York City play it. 133 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he's terra book. 134 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 4: He's a communist. 135 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 5: The last thing we need is a communist. I said, 136 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 5: there will never be socialism in the United States, So 137 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 5: we've a communist. I think he's bad news, and I 138 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: think we're gonna have a lot of fun with him 139 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 5: watching him because he has to go up right but 140 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 5: Dunley to get his money, and so he's not going 141 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 5: to run away with anything. I think he's a Frankly, 142 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 5: I've heard he's the total let job. 143 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: I think the people in the New York are crazy and. 144 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 5: They go this route. I think they're crazy. We will 145 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 5: have a communist in the for the first time, really 146 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 5: a pure, true communist. 147 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: He wants to operate the grocery. 148 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 5: Stores, the department stores. What about the people like that? 149 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: I think it's crazy, Yeah, Clay, it is crazy. And 150 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: I understand that there's this sense that it's limited to 151 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: New York. But AOC and Bernie Sanders, they co sign 152 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: really all of this stuff, and they're the Democrats that 153 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: have the most currency with the base. And it is 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: a Democrat party that came within a few hundred thousand 155 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: votes of Trump, even after lying about Biden's dementia and 156 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: putting forward the worst candidate in our lifetime in Kamala Harris. 157 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: So I mean, I would argue even worse than the 158 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: dementia guy, which tells you a lot. So we have 159 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: to take this seriously. People ask how does a Democratic 160 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: party come back? It's not hard. They were close even 161 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: in this election in aggregate numbers. When you really look 162 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: at it, there are a lot of people who are 163 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: voting Democrat no matter who they put forward, no matter 164 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: how crazy the idea is. And Mom, Donnie, I think 165 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: is just a symptom of that larger malady. And again 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep hammering it. If there is not a 167 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: coalition that arises to all come together to oppose Mamdanni. 168 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: If you have Eric Adams running as an independent Andrew 169 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: Cuomo running as an independent UH, and you have a 170 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: situation where Curtis Sliwa is the Republican that Trio is 171 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: going to assure that Mamdanni wins. So the only way 172 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: in New York City rejects Mamdanni and has some form 173 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: of sanity in terms of who it's selecting as it 174 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: its next mayor is if there's an understanding that they 175 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: cannot all run and there is a coalition of opposition 176 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: that comes together to try and defeat mom Donnie. My 177 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: concern is everybody's going to look out for their best interest, 178 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: meaning we're going to get more attention if you stay 179 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: in the race and everybody else loses, and there isn't 180 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: a coalition brought together to come against him. And I 181 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: think what Trump is talking about in general is the 182 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: opposition that he sees from all these sanctuary cities as 183 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: the process is underway to deport so many different people 184 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: is a direct opposition to the federal government and should 185 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: not be acceptable. And at some point, I think there's 186 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to be a test case of someone, probably 187 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: a mayor that is one of these sanctuary cities. That 188 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: is directly defying federal law, and we're going to have 189 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: to have the court's rule about whether or not that 190 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: is permissible or appropriate, because I don't understand we made 191 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: this argument and the Supreme Court has set it quite clearly. 192 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: The President of the United States is in charge of 193 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: border related policies, immigration, all of those things. How can 194 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: we allow all of these individual cities and certainly governors 195 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: of states, but it's really being driven more by mayors 196 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: of cities that have decided that they are sanctuaries. How 197 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: can we allow them to directly defy federal law? At 198 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: some point that conflict is going to have to be 199 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: resolved in some way by the larger court system. It 200 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: feels inevitable to me. Well, get some calls and some 201 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: talkbacks coming up here in a second. I want to 202 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: hear from all of you before Clayton and I sne 203 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: off for the holiday.

Some would argue for an urban beach. 213 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: For an urban beach, Okay, don't be like, well what 214 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: about Tahiti or what about you know, the Seychelles one 215 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: of the nicest urban beaches anywhere in the world.

Friends like you have shown your gratitude for 221 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: Scott's service and sacrifice, not only through words, but through actions. 222 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: This brave service member was in Iraq leading his platoon 223 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: when a car bomb detonated in front of him. A 224 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: blast left him blind and temporarily paralyzed, but he refused 225 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: to let his injuries stop his military career. Scott became 226 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: the first blind active duty officer in military history before 227 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: medically retiring years later.

Roger down in Texas, he wants to know 237 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: if we saw something happened over the weekend. 238 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 6: Listen, Hey, did y'all see the General Lee jump? 239 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 7: I'm just wondering. 240 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: I think that broke up a little bit, or at 241 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: least it broke up a little bit with me. He 242 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: wanted to know if we saw the General Lee from 243 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: Dukes of Hazard jump the fountain in Kentucky. 244 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: Yes, and it was awesome, super cool. Did you watch 245 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 3: Dukes of Hazzard when you were a kid growing up? 246 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: Uh, it's a little I was a little young for it. 247 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: My older brother, I think, used to watch that show. Well, 248 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: who's your age? So I was a little young for 249 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: The Dukes. 250 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: Of I loved The Dukes of Hazzard back in the day. 251 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: My favorite show, Dukes of Hazzard led into on CBS Dallas, 252 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: and I would say the first real massive disappointment of 253 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: my young wife was when they tried to replace Bow 254 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: and Luke Duke. I just remember being a kid and 255 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: so disappointed that those guys they were in a contract 256 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: dispute and they replaced him for part of season five, 257 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: I think, and it was it was her shattering for 258 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: young I remember I was I was a big night 259 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: rider guy. Oh I like that too. Did you have 260 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: the night Rider? Did you have the car kit kit? 261 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: They could talk back? That was pretty awesome. 262 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: And and now here we are a place where the 263 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: car actually can just drive up and pick you up. 264 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: I have friends who have had their their Tesla just 265 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: come and and and you know, get them. They can 266 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: actually do that. 267 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: They can summon it. 268 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 269 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: And look I talked about being in the way mo. 270 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: And if you want a prediction for twenty years from now, 271 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: I think driving cars gonna end up like riding horses, 272 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: something that people do for fun, but that the average 273 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: person no longer does. I would bet on that in 274 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: twenty years Jordan in Oklahoma. 275 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: What you got, Travis, I've just got two quick questions here. 276 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: One is Siria. Why is Trump lifting the sanctions off 277 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: of Syria and taking them off the terror sponsor group? 278 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 4: And also what are Cash Fattel and Dan Bongino doing 279 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 4: about twenty twenty covid Epstein January sixth and the Biden 280 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 4: auto pen And a friend of mine, John wanted me 281 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: to give you this quote. I believe in two things absolutely, 282 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 4: the first amendment in Boobs. 283 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Well, I like the last one. And there's a lot 284 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: of the FBI. The answer all that FBI stuff is 285 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: we don't know because they're not talking about everything going 286 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: on there. And at some level it's just give I 287 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: would just say, give Cash and Dan the director and 288 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: deputy director of the FBI, give them the time necessary 289 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: to do more of what needs to be done there. 290 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: It has only been five months. It is early in 291 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: the game. And what was the first thing that he said? Yes, Assyria. 292 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: The Syria answer is he's trying to give that new 293 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: government an opportunity to prove that they can be allies. 294 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: And I think if you look at it in the 295 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: bigger picture of the Middle East, given how tough he 296 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: has been on Iran. He is currying favor again politically 297 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: with Saudi Arabia, with the UAE, with Qatar, with Bahrain 298 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: by both carrot and stick. Obviously the stick for Iran, 299 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: the carrot for Syria. If that new government can somehow 300 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: be better than Asad, he's giving them an opportunity to 301 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: try to prove that they're worthy of trust. And so 302 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: far it does appear that that has that's been going better, 303 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: but it's still very early in that new government. 304 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: This is very important. This is a d D talk back. 305 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: Jill from Oregon, let's hear it. 306 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 6: Hi, This is Jill, and I'm an Oregon and I 307 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 6: have to go with Buck on the pistachio ice cream. 308 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 6: I come from an area where we had a local 309 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 6: dairy and so it was not hard to get pistachio 310 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 6: ice cream and it was fantastic.

If you call it pistachio, 316 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: it makes it sound even worse. 317 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: I want to tell you guys about Cardia.

Joe from Let's Take Ah, 355 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: Joe from Mesa, Arizona, Hey Joe and Mesa. 356 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 7: I was trying to explain to my friend, just like 357 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 7: why most of America doesn't even care about the importations 358 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 7: that are happening, and he flipped out on me and 359 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 7: was saying that I needed to admit that I hate 360 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 7: every other race other than my own anyways. So in 361 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 7: the end, they're just totally brainwashed and there's nothing you 362 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 7: can do. 363 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: The law either matters or a dozen has nothing to 364 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: do with race, has to do with being a rule 365 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: of law society. Clay. 366 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I think that a lot of people 367 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: are dialed out and just randomly buy into all of 368 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 2: the history onics. I mean, I think a perfect example 369 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 2: of this is, you know we're going to hit right now. 370 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 2: The stock market is up again today for another high. 371 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: It was only two months ago that they were telling 372 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 2: you that everything was going to collapse and that you 373 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 2: needed to make sure that you sold all your stocks 374 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: and that we were headed for basically a nuclear winter 375 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: and from an economic and it just hasn't happened. And 376 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: so I think the total fear there is it works 377 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: on a lot of people, and they are aware that 378 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: emotionally they can play on people's failings as it pertains 379 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: to that. 380 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: Basically we have next up here a lot of Lord 381 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: of the Rings nerds in this audience. Oh we didn't 382 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: get we said we were gonna do the movie thing. Yeah, 383 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: that's why I thought Times. I was doing my research 384 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: here New York Times Best Now this is a little 385 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: bit of a frustration because people don't pay. It's like 386 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: when you had a teacher that said, make sure you 387 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: read the instructions for the exam before you take the exam. 388 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: It's the best movies of the twenty first century. So 389 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: anybody who's jumping in with Braveheart or you know which 390 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: I love and would be my overall choice, overall favorite 391 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: movie all time. That's nineteen ninety eight, I think, or 392 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: six or I forget when the nine I don't know, 393 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: but it was. It was definitely in the twentieth twenty two, zero, 394 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: twenty eighth century, twenty first century. Best movies of the 395 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: twenty first century. This is this is the New York 396 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: Times list that came out. We got a wait, producer, 397 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: I got all of you to tell me your your picks, 398 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: and I thought they were pretty solid. And let's say 399 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: all of you, I mean our team in New York, 400 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: New York team. Let's start with you, Ali, Producer, Ali, 401 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: what was your best movie of the twenty first century? 402 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: You had time to think about this, so you're on 403 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: the hot seat now. If you forgot what is it. 404 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm totally on the hot seat. I had 405 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: gone with Gladiator, but I had the years all wrong. 406 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it came about hold On Gilllauty 407 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: two thousand. 408 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 3: Yes, it counts in the New York Times list. 409 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: It does because that's technically the twenty eighth century. 410 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: They have it down at ninety two, so they are 411 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: counting anything that's two thousand and beyond. 412 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: Well, that's an outrage. First of all. The fact that 413 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: they're counting it and they're putting it at ninety two 414 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: is an outright because Ali, I'd be it would be 415 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: a top fiver for me, top fiver for sure. They 416 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: put Parasite at number one a foreign film as the 417 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: best movie of the twenty first century, which which I 418 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: think is mad. A producer, Mike, what was yours? You 419 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: had a good one? Dark Knight? Well you Dark Knight? 420 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: Or was that Greg? What is producer? Mike saw producer 421 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, Dark Knight. Yeah, he was Dark Knight. Solid. 422 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: I can't I can't quibble with that. I have watched 423 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: that movie probably one hundred times. I enjoyed the Dark Knight. 424 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: He really brought back people think now all the Batman franchise, 425 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: huge franchise that was. It was on the ropes after 426 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: a couple of really bad Batman movies that bombed big time, 427 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: including one with I think the girl from Clueless was 428 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: in it, Alicia Silverstone. There was a George Klue No, 429 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: don't even remembers. George Clooney played Batman and it was 430 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: such a bad movie that people don't even remember that 431 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: he was Batman. So there were The Dark Knight was 432 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: came back from The Batman Begins and The Dark Knight 433 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: both great, great options. Remember twenty first century, we're looking 434 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: at Clay, what was yours? 435 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: I broke it down trio meaning because to me, there 436 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: is there's a difference between a kid movie, there's a 437 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: difference between a comedy, and there's a difference between a 438 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 2: dramedy drama. So I went with I agree the whole 439 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 2: Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight, that that is 440 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 2: really phenomenal, well done. Up I think was the best 441 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: of the Pixar movies. Up If You Up is so 442 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: well done. And then I think the funniest movie of 443 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: the twenty first century. 444 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 3: I think it's old school. 445 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: I just think it is absolutely hysterical, funny. Well that's 446 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: not even a category, and now you're making up categories funniest. 447 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: I think Old School is the funniest movie of the 448 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: twenty first century. 449 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 2: What's funnier than Old School? I think fourty year old 450 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: vision is funnier than Old School. Forty year old version 451 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: is very funny. Super Bad is very funny. Like there's 452 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: a series of four or five movies. I think that 453 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 2: you could argue, I think the combination of Will Ferrell 454 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: Vince Vaughan is tough to be. Wedding Crashers also really 455 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: really funny and well done. But I think you have 456 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: to consider what again, best doesn't mean. Citizen Kane is 457 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: a phenomenal movie. We talked about yesterday. Shumler's List is 458 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: a phenomenal movie. It's hard to sit down and just 459 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 2: be like, hey, let's have some popcorn and watch Schimmler's List. 460 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: Well, this is this is like how I feel about 461 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: The Pianist p I A N I S T. To 462 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: be clear, the Pianist is a or the pianist maybe 463 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: some people say it that way. Is I think a 464 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: perfect movie, meaning it is incredibly well done and every 465 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: aspect of it from the acting, to the writing, to 466 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: the to the sounds, you know, to the sound track 467 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: to that. I think it's a perfect movie. But it's intense. 468 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: It's World War Two, it's you know, it's a Jewish 469 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: guy who's trying to flee the you know, the well 470 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: at one point it's his neighbors and the Nazis. And 471 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: The Pianist is an incredible movie, but I can't say 472 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: it's my favorite movie because if the Dark Knight trilogy 473 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: or the Lord of the Rings movies are on, I'm 474 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: watching those instead of The Pianist. I'm just I'm not 475 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: gonna lie and be that guy, which brings me to 476 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: I think they're private producer, Greg, what was your pick? 477 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: You didn't give us, You didn't give us your We're 478 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: trying to help you, by the way, for the holiday weekend, everybody, 479 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen any of these, we're giving you 480 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: great recommendations for I would argue The Lives of other 481 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: is a pretty perfect movie, although it is German language 482 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: and that is twenty first century, but again, it's not 483 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: a You still haven't even watched that, have you? You and 484 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Laura haven't watched the Lives of Others and you have Okay, 485 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: maybe that one. Because it's foreign language. I could see 486 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: Lara being like Clay, don't don't you know, don't torture us. 487 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: You guys haven't watched Hacksaw Ridge, which is insane because 488 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: that was if you's got assignment a long time ago, 489 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: that movie would be fair. 490 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 2: To be fair to me, I barely see anything. I 491 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: watch stuff with my kids, which is why I've been 492 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: watching Harry Potter. 493 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: Watch hundreds of hours of college football, hundreds of what I. 494 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: Was gonna say, and I watch a lot of sports. 495 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 2: Let me give you an underrated movie that I think 496 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: seems even more contemporary than it was when it came out, 497 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: Minority Report. Ah Sun No, I'm telling you go back 498 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: and watch it now. 499 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 3: In an age of AI. 500 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 2: It seems eerily prescient in terms of its foreshadowing of 501 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 2: where we are. 502 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: Producer Greg is going to weigh in, he was a 503 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: he wanted to get on this. Producer Greg, best movie 504 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: of the twenty first century. If you were making this 505 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: New York Times list, what's number one? Dark Knight? I'm with. 506 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm with, Oh your Dark Knight got you? I thought 507 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: I thought we had double Dark Knight. That's a Keith 508 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: Ledger's performance as the Joker is the best bad guy 509 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: performance that that I think. You it's that it's the 510 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: No Country for old men with what's his name? Uh, 511 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: you know Javier Bardem, Javier Bardem and Hans Gruber in 512 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: die Hard, which was the first time that guy was 513 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: ever in a movie, which is still amazing. 514 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: Just watch The Dark Knight knowing that Heath Ledger was 515 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: going to in some way kill himself. Like I watch 516 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: it now and you're right, the performance is incredible, But 517 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 2: when I watch it, in the back of my mind, 518 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: I'm thinking, in order to become this good, he had 519 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: to go to such a dark place that it felt 520 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 2: to me like a lot of people who are actors 521 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: and actresses, it's not actually that talented, you know what 522 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: I mean, Like there are lots of people who are whatever. 523 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: Heath Ledger, that was actually an artistic performance as the Joker, 524 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: but I think it led. 525 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: Him into a world where his brain like almost broke, 526 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 3: you know. 527 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: He went into the darkness, went into the darkness too 528 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: much that that has happened with people that get too 529 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: into a role, A lot of people very high in 530 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Because I saw a lot of comments about this, because 531 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: I was on I was on with Will Caine and 532 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz on Will's show on Fox Play, and that's 533 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: where this got some attention. A lot of people have 534 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: as their top movies. I would say the ones that 535 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I saw the most. For all of you, all of 536 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: you out there, I say the one that I saw 537 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: the most. As a number one choice was either There 538 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: Will Be Blood or No Country for Old Men for 539 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: best Movie the twenty first century. I view those as 540 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: both excellent movies, but it also goes in that category. 541 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: There Will Be Blood for me is like watching a 542 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: masterclass of acting. Like obviously Daniel da Lewis is phenomenal 543 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: and the performances are. But do I care about anybody 544 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: in this story? 545 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 6: Really? Now? 546 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: Do I like anybody? 547 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 4: Really? No? 548 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: And then I think that unfortunately, No Country for Old 549 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: Men again very well made, and I'm not saying it's 550 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: not a good movie. I'm just saying, you know, if 551 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: it's on, am I gonna watch it? It's so bleak 552 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: and kind of nihilistic for me. So I can't get 553 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: too excited about either one of those as a top 554 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: ten of the twenty first century. They're both excellent movies, 555 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: to be clear, but they're not movies. I've only watched 556 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: each of those maybe twice, which for me is not 557 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: very many. 558 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: I also, to me, when it's a book being made 559 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: into a movie, I think the excellence of the movie 560 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 2: in many ways reflects the book. And Cormac McCarthy is 561 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: probably the greatest author, now I'm really gonna get people 562 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,479 Speaker 2: fired up, Probably the greatest author of the last thirty years. 563 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: And I know he died a couple of years ago, 564 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: but if you look at his production in terms of 565 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: his talent, and you go all the way back. He 566 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: moved eventually his fiction to basically the border with Texas 567 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: in Mexico, but he started off as a Tennessee based writer, 568 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: and I think he's probably the most talented writer in 569 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: America in the last thirty years. And so No Country 570 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: for Old Men is a novel by him, and I 571 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: think it just reflects the world that he created on 572 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: the screen and is actually an illustration of his excellence 573 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: as a writer more than it is as a film. 574 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: Does that make sense? 575 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: Like if you said, hey, the Great Gatsby, which it isn't, 576 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: and it's been made multiple times, most recently with Leonardo DiCaprio. 577 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: If you said The Great Gatsby is the best movie 578 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: that's ever been made. I would be like, well, it's 579 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: a phenomenal novel, and so to me, I strip out 580 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: anything that isn't an original movie as a great movie. 581 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: Does that make sense because it's a reflection of the 582 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: of the book. 583 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: More than one talkback here before we get into more 584 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: talkbacks and calls to close us out, AA podcast listener 585 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: Zeb from Texas Play. 586 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 8: It Playing Book.

That is 602 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: that is our that is our Texas audience rolling around 603 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: in a pickup ready for any hovelinas they have to 604 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: take out.
