But cold Play, Now, 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 2: we could sit here and we could just make jokes 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: about how cold Play somehow went from cool to the 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: band that even people who love Nickelback feel comfortable making 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: fun of. Now, I think I think that's fair. But 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Coldplay had a concert going on, and Chris Martin, the 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: lead singer of Coldplay, brought some people up on the stage. 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Now we have this sound, we have this audio. Let's 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: let everyone here. So this is the lead singer of 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: cold Play in front of I don't know sixty thousand people, 22 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand, whatever it is. 23 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: Whatever. 24 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: However, many people are in this arena, and here's how 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: it goes. When he invites some just people listeners on 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: the stage of them play it. Oh, I thought I 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: thought we had this one in the mix. I'm sorry, 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: producer Mark, tell me which one we have this uploaded 29 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: as when you get a second, uh and and there 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: we go. Let's play it. 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: Where did you from Israel? 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Okay? 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 4: Okay, very grateful Haubans like treating you us regardless of 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 4: why you cal football. 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for being hiding for dring and. 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 4: Thank you for. 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: Well those troves, so just for everyone. 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: It's kind of hard to hear that audio a little bit, 39 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: but the lead singer says, you're here as humans. Thank 40 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: you for being here as humans, and also thank you 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: to all the Palestinians in the audience. That's kind of 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: a weird way to approach this. 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Ben. 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, as I've said, you know, the Yiddish word 45 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: for him is schmuck. He's terrible. I mean, when your 46 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 5: second worst decision actually is marrying Gwyneth Paltrow, you know 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 5: things are going wrong for you. But Chris Martin doing 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 5: this routine here. Can you imagine any other group of 49 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: people that he would do this for truly, think of 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: the situation we're reversed. You have a couple of people, 51 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 5: he calls him up on stage. He says, where are 52 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 5: you from? And they say the Gaza Strip, and he says, well, 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: I just want to make clear you're humans. So first 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: of all, Chris Martin is not the person who gets 55 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 5: to bestow humanity upon you. Chris Martin that he's. 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: Not a cold Play fan. 57 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 5: We've got here with mister Shapiro, but go ahead, yeah, 58 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 5: now Coldplay sucks. But also the idea that he's going 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 5: to like knight you as a human because you have 60 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 5: come to a cold Play concert and then to immediately 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 5: swivel and say, oh yeah. And by the way, the 62 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 5: people who are on the other side of the war 63 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 5: from the people the year on the side of and 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 5: who initiated, you know, the worst massacre of Jews since 65 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 5: the Holocaust, we got some of those in the stadium 66 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 5: as well, And I just want to acknowledge it. If 67 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 5: this were at Palestinians and they came up said we're 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 5: from the Gaza Strip. Can you imagine a situation in 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 5: which Chris Martin then turns around and says, and also 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 5: to all the Israelies in the audience, and it's cont 71 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: for all the Israelis and that we're so happy to 72 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 5: see you here, No way in hell. It just shows 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 5: you that default leftism at this point has just turned 74 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 5: to a sort of anti Israel pro hamas Gaza sympathetic stands, 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 5: and that that's why he feels uncomfortable. I mean, that's 76 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: the real question we should be asking, is why does 77 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 5: he feel so damn uncomfortable? Like who cares He's got 78 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 5: a couple of fans they come from Israel. If I 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 5: were giving a concert and somebody came up and they said, 80 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 5: I'm from Russia, okay, when you started lecturing them aout 81 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 5: the Russia Ukraine War, it's bizarre. 82 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: We're talking to Ben Shapiro. 83 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: Ben. 84 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: We were talking the last hour about the Graham Lenahan 85 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: situation in England. Five of the armed officers waiting for 86 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: him as he comes off the airplane over tweets that 87 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: the British government deemed worthy of investigation. How do we 88 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: fix this? Because I think Western civilization if we are 89 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: in the position where countries that should be natural American 90 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 3: allies are sending police to investigate tweets and I'm not 91 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: talking about tweets where you say, hey, I'm going to 92 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: kill the president of the United States. Obviously, direct threats 93 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: of violence are different, but clear jokes. 94 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 5: How do we fix this well, I mean, I think 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 5: that there are definitely levers of pressure that we can 96 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 5: exert on the UK. I think that obviously we have 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 5: a lot of the military cooperation, economic cooperation with the UK, 98 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: and President Trump is very fond of using leverage in 99 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 5: a lot of these different situations, up to and including 100 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 5: things like, for example, tariffs, and I don't think that 101 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 5: would be a bad policy here saying to the UK, listen, 102 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 5: we cannot do proper commerce with the country that by 103 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 5: the way, we'll actually pass laws that have an effect 104 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 5: on American commerce because whatever is the free speech code 105 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 5: in Britain, which apparently does not include bad old tweets. 106 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: If that is the standard, they will apply that to 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 5: tech companies in the United States. They'll apply that to x, 108 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 5: they will apply that to Facebook. This has been like 109 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 5: a very hot and fraught topic for the tech companies, 110 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: the social media companies. How do you even operate in 111 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 5: countries in Europe that have different speech standards? If it 112 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 5: is now going to be a prosecutable offense if you 113 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 5: tweet something, then how exactly is Twitter supposed to set 114 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 5: its policies for the United States your point? And so 115 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 5: I do think that the government does have some areas 116 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 5: of leverage here, but it does more deeply speak to 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 5: this cultural rot at the heart of Western civilization. Now 118 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 5: that the kind of importation of people who hate the 119 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 5: principles of the country and then a pandering to precisely 120 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: those principles. Because the same exact country that is now 121 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 5: prosecuting a comedian for making bad tweets over over trans 122 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 5: topics is the same country that covered up, you know, 123 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 5: actual Muslim grooming gangs in the UK, and that is currently, 124 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: by the way, attempting to now import apparently thousands of 125 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 5: gozzins from the Gaza Strip. That's something that wasnnounced by 126 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 5: Event Cooper, the Home Secretary, literally yesterday. So good luck 127 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 5: to civilization that is so intent on committing suicide. 128 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: My goodness, talk to us, Bend if you would, about 129 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: the book which I know just came out yesterday, and 130 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: it's got a premise that this audience is going to 131 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: want to hear about lions and scavengers. The true story 132 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: of America. Walk us through a little bit of this. 133 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 5: Sure, So this is the basic idea, is that humanity 134 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 5: at this point is divided between lions, people who wish 135 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 5: to build, who wish to uphold and strengthen important institutions 136 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 5: like family, church, bounce of power, private property. Those are 137 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 5: the lions, the people who wish to build and make 138 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 5: the world a better place. And then there are scavengers, 139 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 5: people who are creatures of envy who just want to 140 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 5: tear everything down. They see problems in their life, they 141 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 5: attribute it to the systems that they've actually benefited from, 142 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 5: and then decide they want to tear it down. And 143 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 5: one of the points that I make in the book 144 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 5: is that this isn't just a question of populations and groups. 145 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: It's also a question inside the human heart. That every 146 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 5: morning we all have to get up and decide whether 147 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 5: to be a lion or a scavenger. We all have 148 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 5: problems in our life. We decide to attribute that to 149 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 5: some outside conspiracyatorial malign force and then tilted windmills and 150 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: make our life for us, or do we decide to 151 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 5: get up and actually make our life better by taking 152 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 5: the duty bound moral action. That's ay a civilization that 153 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 5: takes the lions, the innovators, the defenders of the civilization, 154 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 5: the people who build the social fabric, and then basically 155 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 5: attacks them because they are too successful, because they're the 156 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 5: oppressors or the exploitative. Is a civilization doomed to failure? 157 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: And I think that we are as a civilization facing 158 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 5: that possibility. 159 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: Ben, how should we handle Buck and I were just 160 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: talking about this, and I do think in the wake 161 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: of COVID and in the wake of so much cultural shift. 162 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw Malcolm Gladwell come out and say, hey, 163 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: basically I got everything wrong on the trans issue. Of course, 164 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: men shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports, but 165 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: he said at the Sloan Conference at MIT the exact opposite. 166 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: A few years ago, on a panel, I shared that 167 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: there were direct consequences for me and my media company 168 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: when it comes to companies that would advertise with us 169 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 3: or not because I said the truth that men shouldn't 170 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: be able to compete with women. But if you are 171 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: on the wrong side of that issue or any issue, 172 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: public statements like gladwill, how should we take them convenient 173 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: and real? Or is this an attempt to acknowledge that 174 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 3: all humans get things wrong, and sometimes we should publicly 175 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: point that out. 176 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 5: So you know, I think that forgiveness is usually the 177 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: better alternative here, magnanim magnanimity in victory I think is 178 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: probably the best alternative. But now he's in a trust 179 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 5: but verify situation. If we run up against another one 180 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 5: of these things and Gladwell takes the wrong side of it, 181 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 5: then I think it's fair to ask him the question, 182 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 5: are you doing this because of the public pressure that 183 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 5: you are receiving, because obviously you've done that before. I 184 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 5: think it's better. We actually want to incentivize people to 185 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: do this right. Just as a movement. We want to 186 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 5: incentivize people to come forward and say I got it wrong. 187 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 5: I never should have caved to this sort of pressure, 188 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 5: and we want to create incentive structure so they don't 189 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 5: cave to the pressure again. If we just kind of 190 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 5: take their apology and then bootstomp them, then what we 191 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 5: are actually doing is encouraging people not to reverse themselves, 192 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: not to correct the mistakes of the past. 193 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: Well, Ben, I have a couple of just grab bag 194 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: but important questions to throw your away as well, And 195 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: remember everyone Ben's book has just come out yesterday and 196 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 2: it is Lions and Scavengers. So Ben, first of all, 197 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: because you would have some experience with this, because of 198 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: your friend and colleague, mister Matt Walsh. Kamala Harris is 199 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: going to Clay's hometown of Nashville to give a book tour, 200 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: and the audience seems very the audience of the show 201 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: is very convinced that it is Clay's duty. I would 202 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: argue his duty to wear a Future is Female t 203 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: shirt and put his hair up in a Matt Walsh 204 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: homage style man bun and go to the VIP section 205 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: of the Kamala book tour event in Clay's hometown of Nashville. 206 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: Where do you, sir, as also someone who spends a 207 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: lot of time in Nashville, come down on this issue. 208 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm shocked that you're even asking the question 209 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 5: of cour course, he has a moral, perhaps a biblical 210 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 5: obligation to tell you that. Actually, I would say that 211 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: he may be consigned to the everlasting flames of hell 212 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 5: if he doesn't. I think that that's on the table. 213 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 5: If he doesn't do this, I think that that pretty 214 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 5: clearly he has to do it. 215 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: No, I just I just wanted Ben to get on 216 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: the record with millions of people listening, Clay that this 217 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: the future's female t shirt. We know what the future 218 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: is of this mission. And now Ben has weighed in 219 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: heartily on the side of the audience and yours truly, 220 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: which is I think this needs to happen. 221 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: And God himself, God himself. I'm not sure where it's 222 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 5: actually written in the Bible, but if you have to bet, 223 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 5: put it in Leviticus. H five hundred dollars is the 224 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 5: cheapest ticket to go watch Kamala Harrison Nashville, which I 225 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 5: still can't believe, and it goes all the way up 226 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 5: to twenty seven hundred play you're super rich. Give me 227 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: a break. 228 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: One more thing on this though, Ben, because because help 229 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: us with this, Clay and I have a little bet going, 230 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: we're not gonna be able to solve it for a while. 231 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: Is Kamala Harris going to run again for president? We 232 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: will mark this down. We will have this clip for 233 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: you when you come back in a few years, and 234 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: we know the answer. Is she going to on again? 235 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: Or was it too disastrous? 236 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: And she even she knows it. 237 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, not in twenty twenty eight. I mean there are 238 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 5: so many wineries in California, she has to get through first. 239 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: That's a good line, all right. 240 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: So here's a here's a big, big picture of question. 241 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: This is what my book, which is out in November, 242 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 3: that I've spent a lot of time grappling with. I know, 243 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: you've got young kids, I've got the three boys. How 244 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 3: do Democrats, like, let's leave aside a big structural issues 245 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: that they clearly have, but how do Democrats get back 246 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: to where men, just normal dudes, do not see their 247 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: party as a party of feminized absurdity? How do they 248 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: get back to where a regular guy who wants to 249 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: have a beer and go watch a game would vote Democrat? 250 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: Because I think that's the biggest issue that they actually face. 251 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: Leaving aside the particulars of what their policies are, what 252 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: would you think they need to do? 253 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 5: I mean, the fact that we even have to ask 254 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 5: the question means that there's not really an easy way 255 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: out for them, because that's like, how do you cosplay masculinity? 256 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 5: And the answer is, I mean, you really don't have 257 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 5: to if you're just a dude. So how about you 258 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 5: start with men should not play in women's sports? Duh? 259 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 5: Men are not women, and a rama manual actually is 260 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 5: now coming out and saying that, how about you, like 261 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 5: just go act in the world as a man and 262 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 5: get caught on camera acting in the world as a 263 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 5: man unapologetically. You don't have to ask President Trump or 264 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 5: Jdvans what it's like to be a man, because they're 265 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: just doing kind of man things, which doesn't that's I'm 266 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 5: not even talking about, like picking up heavy weights and 267 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 5: walking around bare chested or something like being a normal dude. Actually, 268 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 5: isn't that difficult for those of us who are dudes. 269 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 5: But Democrats seem to have a very tough time with that, 270 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 5: and they keep apologizing for it. By the way, got 271 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 5: to give you big credit right there at Clay for 272 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 5: pumping your own book in a spot where you're supposed 273 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 5: to be pumping mine. That is a bold movie. I 274 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 5: didn't know was going to call you out for that, 275 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 5: but I'm glad he did. I'm going to say this, 276 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 5: I'm glad he's got a book. Ben has got a book, 277 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 5: Scavengers and Wines. I encourage you to all buy it 278 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 5: while you're there. My book is called Balls. 279 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 3: It's not out till November, but you could pre order 280 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 3: it and you can buy them together, which seems like 281 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: a brilliant idea. By the way, Bucks got a book 282 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 3: out in January. Can get three books at one time. 283 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: It's just brilliant. 284 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: It's just the brilliant spundle of one line. 285 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: You know better than anybody been. You have to be 286 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: shameless to cut through the noise and always be closing. 287 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 5: Buddy. 288 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the books one last thing for you. Also 289 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: helping us settle another bet, the greatest fictional children's series 290 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: of all time, Chronicles of Narnia or the Little you 291 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: Know Wizard Boy Books by Harry k Rowling. 292 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 5: Harry Potry Potter. So, I mean, honestly, I'd go off 293 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 5: off the board. There's a there's a series called the 294 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 5: Edward Eager series that is fantastics from the fifties that 295 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: that's worth three. But you gotta go Chronicles of Narnia boom. 296 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: Having said that, Travis. 297 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 5: I mean, does its religious? Thematics? Come on? I mean, 298 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 5: you're learning like you're reading about lions. 299 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: It's cool and they're both are wrong. It's good. I 300 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: enjoyed it, but Harry Potter's better, doesn't jk Rowling deserve 301 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: a lot of credit she's a billionaire. She did need 302 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 3: to step into the gender identity battles, but she just 303 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 3: couldn't keep her mouth shut because she saw this as 304 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: being foundational in many ways. I find her to be 305 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: one of the true heroes. We talked about the comedians 306 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: getting arrested in Britain, but I find her to be 307 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: one of the true heroes actually right now, totally unexpectedly. 308 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 3: I never would would have anticipated this occurring. I totally 309 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: agree with this. I mean, she really did not have 310 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: to put herself out there, and the fact that she 311 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: did and then she's on Twitter every day defending it 312 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: in the most aggressive way. 313 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 5: She's awesome. Like, really, kudos to her. 314 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro's book is out and it is Lions and Scavengers, 315 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: and get yourself a copy and maybe pick up other 316 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: books as you go. We'll leave it up to you, 317 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: but go get Lions and Scavengers. Ben, thanks for making the. 318 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: Time for us. 319 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 5: Thanks guys, appreciate it. 320 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 3: Look Tunnel of the Towers.

As a result, he he paralyzed on 325 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: the left side of his body, legally blind, prone to 326 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: memory loss, and in a wheelchair for the remainder of 327 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: his life.

Well, 344 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: we got a lot to dive into, but let me 345 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 3: set the table for this story that is just starting 346 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 3: to percolate on the social media streets, reports that the 347 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: Trump administration may be offering New York City Mayor Eric 348 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: Adams a job in the administration in exchange for which 349 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: he would potentially drop out of the mayor's race. That 350 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: would still leave Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo, but it would 351 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: potentially make Mom Donnie a little bit more of a 352 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: potential target here. 353 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: I look, first of all, if i'm Eric Adams advisory 354 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: team or whatever, yeah, take it. You're not gonna become 355 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: You're not gonna be mayor, You're not gonna win. You 356 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: have the worst numbers of any of the candidates right now, 357 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: I think, including Sliwa, or at least I believe it's 358 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: very close. And now Sue as a Republican, so it's 359 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: not a slight on him, but I'm just saying he's 360 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: not gonna be He's not gonna be mayor either. The 361 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: fact that Andrew Cuomo, though is supposed to be the 362 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: savior here Clay as a New Yorker who was living 363 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 2: in New York during Cuomo's tenure as governor, that's very 364 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: that's a very tough pill to swallow isis he will 365 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: be marginally better than Mam Donnie on a few things. 366 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: He was a horrifying governor during COVID, horrifying. 367 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: All of that is true. I do think this is 368 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 3: one of those situations. Trump and Cuomo have known each 369 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 3: other for fifty years, So whatever they might say publicly, 370 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 3: I think this is an example of somebody that Trump 371 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: feels like he knows, and even it's a sign of 372 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: how bad Mam Donnie is. That Cuomo could be the 373 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 3: savior in any situation. But it appears that Eric Adams 374 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: is on the verge of dropping out. What does Curtis 375 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: Slee would do? What should he do? We'll talk about 376 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: that when we come here. 377 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: You should if if Cuomo manages to be the last 378 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 2: guy left, he should offer sleiwa, you'll be my deputy 379 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: mayor in charge of police and you know, police relations 380 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 2: and and public safety, something like that.

Welcome back in to play 400 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 2: and Buck. Very interesting news year at breaking We're just 401 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: discussing about Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City 402 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 2: and Martha's hardest city. Of course, my former hometown and 403 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: in many ways always my hometown, that he is being induced, 404 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: perhaps by the Trump administration, to drop out of the 405 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: mayor's race, that he absolutely will not win. Like he 406 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: he definitely won't win. He's he's not even close to 407 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: the to some of the other contenders, namely Mamdanni and Cuomo. Guys, 408 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: tell me if if whether Sliwa or or Adams has 409 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: more support in the polls right now, I'd be interested 410 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: to see that, because if you're a Republican, a lot 411 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: of them are gonna are gonna go Sliwa, right So, 412 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: I think Adams might be in last place right now 413 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 2: of the of the candidates that anyone's heard of. There 414 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: might even be some other candidates in the mix. So 415 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: I'm not watching it as closely as I used to 416 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 2: because I don't live in New York. But we're paying 417 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: attention here, of course on Clay and Buck to the 418 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: broad strokes of what's going on. And here's what I 419 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: what I think you'll see. Clay, this is a reminder 420 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: to everybody that Eric Adams. We're talking before about whether 421 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: something is opportunistic or something is in earnest when someone 422 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: says I was wrong or I when they're willing to 423 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: speak out against the dominant narrative when it was very 424 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: important for the nation. Eric Adams, he's not a good mayor, Okay, 425 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: I don't think he's he's not a malignant mayor. Like 426 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 2: he's not Deblasio, who just tried to you know, he 427 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: he was like a malignant tumor on the city of 428 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 2: New York. Deblasio tried to do everything he could to 429 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: undermine New York City. In my opinion, I was living 430 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: there when he was mayor, right, I think Eric Adams, 431 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: you know, I was not really up for the job 432 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. But I think that he 433 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: was trying, you know, he's trying to back the police more, 434 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 2: trying to do things better. But on the issue of 435 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 2: illegals in New York City. This really elevated it because 436 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: he was the first major voice of any city in 437 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: America who was a Democrat to come out and say, hey, 438 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: this is a problem and this needs to stop, Like 439 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 2: we can't just allow these people who need a tremendous 440 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: amount of resources, who do take resources from the you know, 441 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: from the rest of the American public. Thirty percent of 442 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: emergency room visit it's twenty percent of all hotel rooms. 443 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 2: I mean you start to look at these numbers, right, 444 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 2: it's and this factored Clay into I think the broader 445 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 2: narrative about how bad Biden's ten million plus illegal you know, 446 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 2: jail break into America was. And I think that you 447 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: saw one. The Democrats went after Adams to make an 448 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: example of him with this corruption case about the airline 449 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: ticket upgrades or whatever with tururkeysh airlines air The funniest 450 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: job they could give him would be ambassador to Turkey. 451 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 2: Trump does have a decent sense of human or if 452 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: he made Airy Adams the ambassador to Turkey, it would 453 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: be absolutely hysterical. We probably have an ambassador to Turkey already, 454 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 2: So whoever that is, I apologize, but I do think 455 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: the comedy value of him in Turkish airlines, you know, 456 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: would take care of him. But yeah, like the corruption 457 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: they went after him for was absurd. Yeah, and you 458 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: look at actual Democrat corruption out there that they're willing 459 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: to turn a total blind eye. Do you look at 460 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden selling half million dollar paintings. Okay, like we 461 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: know that they'll do anything for power and sort of 462 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: pretend that flight upgrades. My point here, Clay, is that 463 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: Eric Adams was now maybe he saw down the line 464 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: that there was an opportunity here that's playing four D 465 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 2: chess a bit that there could be this situation playing out. 466 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: I think it's more likely that he just realized this 467 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: is a mess. They're making a mess of my city 468 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: with this illegal influx problem that's been going on with Biden, 469 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 2: and he played an important so, you know, if they 470 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: could find the right spot for him in the administration, 471 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: I think that he performed an important national public service 472 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: even if he wasn't a very good mayor by speaking 473 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: the truth about illegals. 474 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 3: I also think they would have to find a job 475 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 3: for Curtis sliwa And I understand that everybody says I'm 476 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 3: not leaving the race, I'm all in for it, And 477 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 3: I understand why Sliwah would say I'm the better option 478 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 3: than Cuomo. Look at how bad Cuomo was during COVID. 479 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 3: This guy doesn't deserve the job. But if there's anything 480 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 3: other than one actual opposition to Mamdani, Mamdanni wins. So 481 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: you have to rely upon people to do what may 482 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: be not at the peak of their own best interest 483 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 3: in order to advance the City of New York's best interests, 484 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: and a lot of politicians aren't willing. 485 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: To do that. 486 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: Just to be clear, I mean, I'm basically right on this. 487 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: I knew I was directionally right. Adams is the weakest. 488 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: Sliwa has more support in most of the polls because 489 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: he's the Republican and there's a decent number of Republicans 490 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: in the five boroughs, he has more support than Adams 491 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: the clay. That's another way of saying the existing mayor 492 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 2: of New York is doing the worst in this mayor election. 493 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 2: So whatever job the Trump administration's thinking of offering Eric Adams, 494 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 2: it's probably a pretty good deal for Eric Adams. 495 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: May not even need a Trump job. To be fair 496 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 3: to Eric Adams, I would think there are a lot 497 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: of people in New York City who could hire Eric 498 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 3: Adams to come work inside of their company, pay him 499 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 3: way more than a government job pays. To effectively be 500 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 3: a lobbyist in New York City. I mean, the guy has, 501 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: whatever you think about him, the guy has tons of 502 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: connections to help get things done in New York City. 503 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 3: And for some of these billionaires that are out there 504 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: that really desperately care about the future of New York City, 505 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: having at Eric Adams one of a thousand people on 506 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: their payroll is not a bad decision either. By the way, 507 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 3: same thing could be said about Curtis Sleiewa. If you 508 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 3: look at the gambling markets right now, zoorun, Mom Donnie 509 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: eighty percent chance of being elected mayor of New York City, 510 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo eighteen percent, Eric Adams less than one percent, 511 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: Curtis Sliwa less than one percent. So what the markets 512 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 3: are telling us here is it's Cuomo or it's Mom Donnie, 513 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: and basically nobody else has a chance. 514 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 2: I know, Mom Donnie is a mom. Donnie is a 515 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: Kami and the stuff he's saying Cuomo's awful, though I don't. 516 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: Cuomo is the guy behind I know. I focus on 517 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: the COVID part of this, and you know him doing 518 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: the Oh, let's do a press conference. Let's talk about 519 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: Cuomo chips. If you're gonna sit at a bar, you 520 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: need to order food like he went through all I 521 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: was watching these day in and day out. Yeah, and Clay, 522 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 2: he's the Jim Break Emmy do. 523 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 3: At that they gave him a special Emmy for his 524 00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: press conference. 525 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course that. It was musty TV in New 526 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: York at the time because of the theatrics around all 527 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: the things that he was demanding we do. And I 528 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: would just say, yeah, that was bad. But also he 529 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 2: was the the jail break guy, the jail break bill 530 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 2: up in Albany, the no cash bail. A lot of 531 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: the criminal justice problems that New York then had to 532 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: deal with then just sort of disorder and decay on 533 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: the streets were directly pushed by Cuomo. So I mean 534 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 2: he is Yeah, he's not a communist, Okay, So would 535 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 2: he be better for the business environment? Sure, you know, 536 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 2: are there I recognize, But man, is he not an 537 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: exciting alternative even based you know, he's better than Mamdani, 538 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: but barely, is what I'm saying. Like, it's not great 539 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: if he becomes the mayor. It's not like New Yorker 540 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 2: should celebrate it that much. 541 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 3: And this is where I come back to the argument 542 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 3: I've made related to New York City's mayor. Let him 543 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 3: make a bad choice, all right. 544 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: Nashville, Man, that's enough, that's enough out of you. 545 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 3: I want Mom Donnie to be one of the faces 546 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party in twenty twenty six. And if 547 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 3: that means that we have to pick an awful leader 548 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: for New York City, why should all the same people 549 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 3: of New York have to band together to protect Democrats 550 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 3: from the choice that they made. 551 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: And now I know how you Alabama football fans feel. 552 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: Clay just when he's just poking you to poke you, you 553 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: know what I mean, He's just sort of poking the 554 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: bear here. We don't want New York to have a 555 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: communist mayor who ruins the place. It's going to be very, 556 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: very bad for a lot of people, and and it 557 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: could spread. You think the big miss, uh, it was 558 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 2: the Bush phrase misunderestimated? 559 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: I did there, the big. 560 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 2: Underestimation underestimation, Thank you misunderestimated. It's fun to say, like 561 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 2: great biga, Yeah, is it a word? I know it 562 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: is not a word, but it's not a word miss. 563 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 3: And the point to underestimate, the combination of the two 564 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 3: is kind of makes sense or to create Yes, yeah, 565 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: I agree. 566 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 2: You know Bush Bush was a you know, it was 567 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: a wordsmith by accident. So I would say the the 568 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 2: problem we've seen in a lot of these cities. Look 569 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 2: at Chicago, perfect example. You could have argued, Lori Lightfoot, 570 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 2: you need to have Lori Lightfoot's administration, which is anti 571 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 2: cop business as usual for the corrupt daily machine of Chicago. 572 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: Go down the list all this stuff, and then people 573 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: will figure it out, Clay. They went even crazier with 574 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: the next mayor. 575 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did so. And I just think New York 576 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 3: City might need to might need to Sometimes you got 577 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 3: to let the kids make the bad decision. 578 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: W or listeners, do you hear this? He wants He 579 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 2: just thinks that you need to feel the pain. He 580 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: thinks that you need to like, uh, like Bruce Wayne's 581 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: parents in Gotham, watch your back when you're going to 582 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 2: a Broadway show, you know, and this is not the 583 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 2: way we want it. 584 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 3: I I appreciate everybody who is smart enough not to 585 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: vote for Mom Donnie. They're already listening to us. A 586 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: lot of them know, they're nodding along right now, saying 587 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: sometimes experience is the best teacher, and sometimes Democrats need 588 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 3: to experience the consequences of their own choices in order 589 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 3: to recognize that it's a poor decision. You can only 590 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 3: tell people for so long. And I was reading, I mean, 591 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 3: this is actually super sad. I was reading over the weekend, 592 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 3: getting ready for the show this week. The number of 593 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 3: people out there that are landlords. You know, they want 594 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 3: to talk about freezing rent. You know what doesn't get 595 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: frozen most of the time. Property taxes. So the number 596 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: of landlords, I mean some of you who own buildings, 597 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 3: they think they try to turn it into oh, everybody's 598 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 3: so rich af their landlords. They had to give The 599 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: New York Times credit a really good profile on a 600 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: woman in the Bronx who was a landlord. Can't afford 601 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 3: to pay her mortgage because they won't allow her to 602 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: raise the rent. But yet her property taxes keep going up, 603 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: and so she actually is losing money based on what 604 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 3: she's allowed to charge her residence and the property basically 605 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: makes no sense. And so this is the reality of 606 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: when you stop people from being able to charge the 607 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: rents that they should, sometimes you are creating situations where 608 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 3: the loss basically goes straight to the property owner in 609 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: exchange of the renter. 610 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: This is why Ron DeSantis, and this is very important 611 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: for the state of Florida and governed DeSantis, I think 612 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 2: is completely correct on this and this should be getting 613 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 2: more attention. This is why Ron DeSantis is trying to 614 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: get through the state state legislature in tallahassee a change 615 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: in the way. I mean, look, it's trying to end 616 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: property tax There's some more specifics to it, but probably 617 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: you have in Florida right now. And there's a lot 618 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: of people on fixed income here, a lot of retirees here. 619 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 2: We all know that. And you have property value who 620 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 2: have because of supplying demand, gone up dramatically, but they 621 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: do it as a percentage of your assessed value. 622 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 623 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: So you get all these Floriding you get all these 624 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 2: people that are like I was living in a you know, 625 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: a three or four hundred thousand dollars house, and I 626 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: was perfectly happy, and maybe even my mortgage was paid off. 627 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: Now I have to pay taxes on a one point 628 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: two million dollar house. Yeah no, I mean, or the 629 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 2: state will take my home. How is that fair? You're 630 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: renting your house now from the state. It's crazy. 631 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 3: This is what Californians had to deal with and why 632 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: they basically put in place I think. I mean, the 633 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: propositions have passed that don't allow property values to be 634 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 3: raised at you know, exorbitant rates relative to your point. 635 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who bought homes. I mean, 636 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 3: this is sadly one of the results of the fires 637 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. A lot of people were living in 638 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 3: those homes for decades. They could never have afforded them. 639 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: If they were buying them in real time, house burned 640 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,959 Speaker 3: down and basically nothing is getting rebuilt there. I mean, 641 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: have you seen some of the helicopter footage of I know, 642 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: the immediate aftermath of the natural disaster. Eventually the attention 643 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: kind of goes away. By and large, they have not 644 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: been able to get back to building those homes back 645 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 3: to where they were. I mean, it's just sadly what 646 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: one party rule has created is everything is broken, much 647 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 3: of it in California. Look tomorrow, we've got the NFL returning. 648 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: We were talking about this.
