I would argue it's one of the most 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: iconic guitar riffs of the nineteen nineties, one of the 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: most memorable, the one that really sticks out. I'm just 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: wondering how this came together, you know, This is like 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: our behind the music moment here because were you just 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, you're hanging out on the beach with a 43 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: with an acoustic and having some fun. I mean, how 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: did this come together? Man? We used to have a 45 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: warehouse in Anaheim, were you know, the band's originally from Anaheim, California, 46 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: and we had a warehouse that was a man cave. 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Before that, you know, we knew what a man cave was, 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and we spent every night there for several hours. And 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: that's where we practiced and wrote and hung out with 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: our friends and did all that stuff. And that riff 51 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: just sort of spilled out one night, and can did 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: you remember just do you remember playing it and realizing, oh, 53 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: that's really good. I mean, we thought it was cool, 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: but we think all our songs are cool when writing them, 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: you know. So it's actually one of our good buddies, Tony, 56 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: who was kind of like the unofficial fifth member. He 57 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: was kind of like, I don't know, man, I really 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: liked that song. So we ended up we didn't play 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: it for a few shows because we were self conscious 60 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: about it because Tony didn't like it. And but yeah, 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: what a crazy what a crazy thing? Man? Two notes 62 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: and and some lyrics that were probably written to be 63 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: maybe changed or modified when we had time to get 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: to it, and then it just sort of took off 65 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: and became something that we would have never dreamed that 66 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: it became, and were really just blessed. And it's crabby. 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Yet just yesterday we got we must have had one 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, you know, messages sent to us. There was 69 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: that viral video yesterday of the bride playing drums to 70 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: it at our wedding, and it's just like a weekly 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: thing where it's just like it just takes on this 72 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: life of its own, and it's just crazy. Jeremy. One 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: thing that Buck and I wanted to make sure we 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: did when they told us that the music was coming 75 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: up and we needed to come up with a new 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: open to our hours, was we said, we don't want 77 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: to end up with a musician or a group that 78 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: doesn't like our audience and doesn't respect our perspective. And 79 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: I was so excited to know you you relocated your 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: family from California to Tennessee, and you were super upset 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: with all of the restrictions that we're going on with COVID, 82 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: And so when I told Buck that he was like, 83 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: oh man, these are our guys, but kind of explain 84 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: how you ended up making the move to Nashville and 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: what your response was to the government telling you, hey, 86 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: this is what you can do, this is what you 87 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: can't do. There's a lot of musicians now that seem 88 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: to embrace the nanny state, when oftentimes artists and musicians 89 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: historically have been about rebelling against the power structure. There's 90 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: an awful lot of musicians and artists now who say, hey, 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: regulate me more, which to me is the anti of 92 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: what art should be. It's crazy how how full circle 93 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: it's come with a lot of musicians, and especially like 94 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, the guys that are you know, supposedly more 95 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: punk rock and more edgy or alternative, and they have 96 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: just sort of gone the way of the buffalo and 97 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: just sort of follow whatever they're being told to do. 98 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: And you know, we're just we're look, we're an American 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: rock and roll band. We we we we were very um, 100 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: just middle class dudes that grew up in Anaheim, which 101 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: is not the you know, it is not the fancy 102 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: part of Orange County. And we just were hard working, 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: do it yourself guys who who believed it much more 104 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: of just you know, our our freedom is not negotiable, 105 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: and uh, leave us alone, let us do our thing. 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: And and and we're also you know, we're not um. 107 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: We played by the rules. You know, we're respectful dudes, 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: and we're family guys, and we have our values and stuff. 109 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: But we're just kind of like, hey man, you know, 110 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: we're we're growing. Ask men, now leave us alone, you know, 111 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: and let us let us do We're you know, we're 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: not We're gonna do what we want to do. But 113 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: it blows our minds to see just how many of 114 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: our peers have have just like just they lost their 115 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: balls somewhere along the way or something. Now that's what 116 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: I said. I think that's right. We're speaking right now, 117 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: do you Jeremy pop Off, the lead guitarist of the 118 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: band Lit And for those of you who are wondering 119 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: where that where that music, the song that you're hearing 120 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: the top of the show comes from. Where the one 121 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: year anniversary of clay An Buck. We've got this new 122 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: theme song that gets everybody fired up. And you know, 123 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: do you do you think Jeremy that there's I think 124 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: right now I'm gonnall just put this out there. There's 125 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a turning away from the monolith 126 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: in the arts that we've seen, or just the the 127 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: demand that everybody, whether you're in whether you're in sports, 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: whether you're in Hollywood, where you're in music, that that 129 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: entertainment is just so the province of only one side 130 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: of the national conversation. Do you think we're heading toward 131 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: a little bit at least? I'm not even saying people 132 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: that are Republican or conservative necessarily who are are in 133 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: music and in the arts, but just understanding that without freedom, 134 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: you actually can't be an artist, and therefore you have 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: to actually defend individual freedom at some level. Um. And 136 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think the reason why your show 137 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: is number one in so many markets and is so 138 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, popular and refreshing, is because I don't think 139 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: that it's so. I don't think it's about being far 140 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: right or far less. I think it's about people are 141 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: starting to realize, like, you guys are just you guys, 142 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: just make sense. It's just common sense. And it's it's 143 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: not about politics. It's about like, what what are we 144 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: doing here? And it's and it's it's so much more 145 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: when I listen to you guys, I'm just like, who, 146 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: who's going to disagree with this? Right now? It doesn't 147 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? We feel the same way. 148 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: We feel. We feel like everyone should be listening at agree. 149 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: So there you go. Well, I think it's a balance 150 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: of you know, we all get together with our buddies 151 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: and I've listened. I've got a lot of friends from 152 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: all over the spectrum of beliefs and religions and faiths 153 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: and politics or whatever. And you know, at the end 154 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: of the day, we all get together and have a beer, 155 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: and we agree on on way more than we disagree on, 156 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, and uh, and all we really all want 157 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: to do is be happy and healthy and raise our 158 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: families and and uh and be able to have a 159 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: shot at at you know, the American dream. So who 160 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: who who doesn't agree with that? And and and then 161 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: call me and let's and let's have a conversation about it, 162 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: because I don't I wouldn't, you know, I don't understand 163 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: how you were not on that page. You know, Jeremy, 164 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: you and I met for the first time with Tommy 165 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: larn we were out watching an Alabama LSU football game 166 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty in Nashville when there were still our 167 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: restrictions on how long bars could be open. Our mutual 168 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: friend Steve Ford, owns a bunch of bars in downtown 169 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Nashville and was chomping at the bit over what was allowed. 170 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: And we left that bar to go back to your house, 171 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: and you had the Utah football game on by the way, 172 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: where in Salt Lake City is one of the cities 173 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: where we're number one. And I walked in. I was like, Oh, 174 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: this guy must be a pretty big college football fan. 175 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: Your son was a student manager, it turns out, on 176 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: the Utah football team, and so you were watching that game. 177 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: But I'd always been a fan of your band, and 178 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: certainly of the iconic songs that you've produced, including the 179 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: one that we're using to start every hour. But that 180 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: was where I said, oh, man, this is this is 181 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: a dude who overlaps with me in a lot of 182 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: different areas. And that was during a time when the 183 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: city of Nashville was trying to say you couldn't have 184 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: more than like five people in your house, which kind 185 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: of goes to the whole point of how absurd all 186 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: this was. Well, if you remember that night too, I 187 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: mean the the cops were called from a neighbor, and yeah, 188 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: it ended up being a whole thing, a whole lot. 189 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: What happened. Yeah, by the way, for people who don't know, 190 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: we went back to college football games and have some 191 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: drinks when the bars were shutting down your house in 192 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Davidson County, which is where Nashville is. The cops showed up. 193 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: I think they were like fifteen or twenty people there. 194 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was a you know, raging house party. 195 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: Everybody was pretty much indoors, just having a few drinks 196 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: and watching some football. It wasn't even that late and 197 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: the cops came. I mean, which, by the way, is 198 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: just an element of how crazy it was. Whatever ended 199 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: up happening with that, well, that was my brother's house 200 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: that time, and uh and yeah, he got arrested and 201 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: he had to go to court, you had to do 202 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: community service and pay a fine and hire a lawyer. 203 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right. It was about fifteen people there, 204 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: and I would say, you know, eight of them were 205 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: standing out on the deck, you know, having a cigar 206 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: or a cigarette or whatever, and there was a handful 207 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: in the house. Is also you know, a four thousand 208 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: square foot house with twenty of space and tall ceilings 209 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: and everything else. And it was and you know, they 210 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: came into the backyard, if you remember, and they were 211 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: like filming us from the backyard. It was a real odd, 212 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: odd experience. And honestly, I think it was probably the 213 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: next day that my wife and I started looking at 214 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: houses outside of Nashville. We ended uppooding out by you 215 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: out in Franklin. And yeah, so it sounds like Fouci 216 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: was going to appear a moment, guys, buck. This is Nashville, Tennessee, 217 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: a city known for creativity and people having a good time. 218 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: We're not talking about like four hundred people at a house, 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: and they arrested your brother for having like fifteen of 220 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: us over and for violating the law about how many 221 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: people you could have over at your own home. And 222 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of those people, to his point, were standing 223 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: on the backyard deck outdoors smoking cigars or drinking beers 224 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: around a little fire pit, if I remember correctly, Yeah, right, 225 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty insane. Um. Yeah, you know, 226 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: Gavin Degras was there that night too, and I remember 227 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: standing out there talking to the officers out in the street, which, 228 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, God bless them. And they 229 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: were just enforcing some silly order that they were handed 230 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: down and by the mayor. And you know, they weren't 231 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: stoked on getting you know, they drew the short straw 232 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: that night and had to be on you know, house 233 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: patrol shift or whatever. But they kind of had a 234 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: look on their faces like, yeah, tell us about it. 235 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: This sucks, you know. And but I remember Gavin saying 236 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: to a couple of them like, so wait a minute, 237 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: you're telling me that if I have a twenty thousand 238 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: square foot house, I could still only have fifteen people 239 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: over or eight people or whatever the number was. But 240 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: it was one of those things where it just didn't 241 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: make any right, It didn't make any sense. It's like 242 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: if a one bedroom apartment is the same as a 243 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: you know, six bedroom house or there was. None of 244 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: them made any sense, Jeremy, because all those people got 245 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: COVID probably twice anyway, And don't even get me started 246 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,599 Speaker 1: on the night and the way, how perfect of a 247 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Nashville story would it be. Gavin DeGraw, Uh, the band Lit, 248 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Tommy Layer, and Clay Travis all get arrested for having 249 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: beers in a private home and violating covid law. I mean, 250 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: I feel like people are going to look back on 251 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: this and say, this is one of the dumbest things 252 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: that's ever occurred in the United States history.

But I 314 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: am happy to see and Clay just told me about 315 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: this because I love that our our theme song music 316 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: play comes from a band that you could say are 317 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: mask bandits if you will, that are that are not 318 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: not people that wanted to believe the man during all 319 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: the lockdown stuff. Broadway in New York City, where all 320 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: the Broadway theaters are, is dropping its mask mandate July first, Clay, I, 321 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, I live adjacent to a Broadway theater. My 322 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: apartment of New York is adjacent to a Broadway theater. 323 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: So every day that they're doing they're doing shows, I 324 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: would see people lined up. They made people put their 325 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: masks on outside to ensure compliance as they walked in. 326 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: This is I think a big move. And to your point, 327 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: you do live right on top of the Broadway theaters. 328 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: And as we were walking by to come to your 329 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: place to go to dinner on Friday, my wife, who 330 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: when we were in New York City, if there were 331 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: no mask mandate. We might well have looked at going 332 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: to a Broadway play together, as many couples do and 333 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: families when they go on vacation to New York City. 334 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: To me, this is a sign that overwhelming majorities of 335 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: their customers are saying the mask mandate is insanely dumb. 336 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: And every time one of these otherwise left wing bastions 337 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: of masking dropped their masking requirement, we get back to 338 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: one more semblance of normalcy. And I think this is 339 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: a straight business decision. I think they were looking and saying, 340 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: we're losing money based on having this. We're not protecting anybody. 341 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of sanity returning in an insane world. 342 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: On the Michigan campus of Hillsdale College, Flurry of Activity 343 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: as they finish their latest free online video series for 344 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: you to learn from this summer.

Hey, Claim Buck. 357 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: It is Adam Carolla and I love listening to your program. 358 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: I hear it every day, Dad doing one the best 359 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: of on the weekends, probably building the litterly a little 360 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: bit five days weeks, a lot of Claim Buck, but 361 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: a year in and I couldn't be proud of So 362 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: keep up the great war. That's Adam Carolla obviously, who 363 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: had one of the funniest shows Buck that has ever 364 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: aired on cable in The Man Show back in the day. 365 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: And he is still great as a stand up comedian, 366 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: and he's a big fan of the show. Listens out 367 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: in LA when he's traveling around driving around town, and 368 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: it's great to hear from him. We've had him on 369 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: the show several times and look forward to having him 370 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: on again. We were talking during the break as we 371 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: often do, continuing the conversation, and when exactly all of 372 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: the most controversial Supreme Court decisions are going to come 373 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: down is an tinuing topic of discussion. But they had 374 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: an interesting decision that came down earlier today dealing with 375 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: basically the rights of parents to be able. You may 376 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: have read the case. I have not because I'm running 377 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: around here with my eleven year old, but I read 378 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: I knew the case was coming down dealing with the 379 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: essentially the rights of religious based schools to get the 380 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: same treatment in terms of parental dollars that are being 381 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: able to be applied as other private schools. And it 382 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: essentially is a huge win for people who are sending 383 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: their kids to religious based private schools in terms of 384 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: the way that those are going to be treated under 385 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: state law and there's not going to be a discriminatory 386 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: treatment of those compared to others. And it also has 387 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: this thinking still about when the decision on abortion is 388 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: going to come down, and also the gun decision, which 389 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 1: I would say are the two biggest that are still 390 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: waiting to officially be released out there at some point 391 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: before the term ends. At the end of June. I 392 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: do think one of them more interesting parts of the 393 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: discussion around school choice vouchers and religious schools. There are 394 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: a couple of things that you will hear the not 395 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: very well educated leftist shout as though it's a great 396 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: a great argument or even an argument ender for them, 397 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: meaning it's it's game over, checkmate. One of them is 398 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: it's like shouting fire in a crowded theater. Yeah, which 399 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: was the wrongly decided Shank v Us decision that said 400 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: that someone handing out a socialist handing out anti war 401 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: pamphlets on the street before World War One was so 402 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: dangerous to the aims of the country that his political 403 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: speech was like shouting fire in a crowded theater. So 404 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: they always say that one and they never know the basis. 405 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: The other one is this is a separation of church 406 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: and state. There is no separation of church and state. 407 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: Phrase in the Constitution actually comes from a letter that 408 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson wrote in eighteen eighteen o two. I think 409 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: it was from the I don't want to it was 410 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: from like the Baptist, the Danbury Baptist in Connecticut or something. 411 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was from a letter that Jefferson 412 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: wrote bottom line, and now we see that in a 413 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: six three decision, there's no reason for a program that 414 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: if it's an accredited school, there's no reason why you 415 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to use the dollars you're given to 416 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: go to a school that even has a religious instruction 417 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: as part of it. So it's a win for religious freedom. 418 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's a very good thing, because any 419 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: wins for freedom these days will be uh, well, we 420 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: need to rack up as many as we possibly can, 421 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. And speaking of racking up wins, you know 422 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: he's not racking up wins this. I saw this story 423 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: and I said, we should definitely mention this. Kamala Harris. 424 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: They are trying to raise money based on you get 425 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: a photograph with Kamala Harris if you donate a certain 426 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: amount of money. And Joe Biden's vice president has become 427 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: so unpopular that initially they were asking fifteen thousand dollars 428 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: per photograph. Now they have lowered their asking price all 429 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: the way down to five thousand dollars. Now many of 430 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: you out there listening are saying to yourselves, wait a minute, 431 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: who in the world would even pay five thousand dollars 432 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: for a Kamala Harris photo. This is actually not that 433 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: high when it comes to politicians that are much desired. 434 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: People want that photo, they want to put it on 435 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: their office wall. If you're a big Democrat supporter, the 436 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: fact that they can't even sell Kamala Harris meet and 437 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: greets for fifteen k and they're now all the way 438 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: down five k. I can't help but laugh. Let me 439 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: get this right. Yes, Like I don't know, I don't 440 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: know if anyone out there's like a watch guy. But 441 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: you know if someone told you, hey, do you like 442 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: my rolex? It's fifteen grand, and then a week later 443 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: they're like, actually it's five grand, you'd say that's a 444 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: fake rolex. Right, Yeah, that's a big that's a big 445 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: price reduction they're doing in the Kamala Harris photo world. 446 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: But think of who really right now, who that you 447 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: can think of, meaning you know, in very general terms, 448 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: is going to be particularly excited about presenting to your point, 449 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: this is all about, oh, look at me, I'm connected 450 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: in Democrats circles or Democrats owners. Look and politicians on 451 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: both sides do this and I'm not. But the point 452 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: is who wants to associate their brand, their personal brand, 453 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris right now. And the answer is even 454 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: among Democrats, very few people. They don't want the photo 455 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: of Kamala on their wall. And we need to point 456 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: out I'm all dropped out of the Democrat primary before 457 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: vote was even taken. She was pulling at one percent. 458 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: No one liked her. The more times Democrats saw her speak, 459 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: the less support they wanted to give her. Not before 460 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: calling Joe Biden an old racist on stage at order 461 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: the Democrat debates, nor before her announcing I'm obviously a 462 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: top tier candidate. Not so obvious, it turned out. And 463 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: this is part of the larger question that Democrats are 464 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: going to have to answer. And this is why this 465 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: discussion has begun more in earnest already. The Republican backbench, 466 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: in other words, the contenders who could be president from 467 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: the Republican Party is way deeper than the list of Democrats. 468 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: They have a huge generational divide. And then the people 469 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: who are younger, the AOC's the mayor Pets of the world. 470 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: No one actually likes them, you know, in terms of 471 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: the larger base because of how left wing they are. 472 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: By is helping to cover up the fact that there 473 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: is no backbench in the Democrat Party. I mean, they're 474 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: trying to draft Beto, They're going to talk about bringing 475 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: back Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, who, by the way, Rush 476 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: coined the phrase fokahonas, which obviously is a little bit 477 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: different than Pokehonas, even wittier. But that is where that 478 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: started to take take off in Earnest and then Trump 479 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: just came in and went straight Pokehonas. But I don't 480 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: see anybody in the Democrat Party that I would say, oh, 481 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: this is the candidate that everybody is going to end 482 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: up lining up behind. I just I don't see any 483 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: great backbenchers waiting to be president in their party right now. 484 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna run AOC at some point, but that's years 485 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: down the line. It's not quite her time yet, I 486 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: would think. But Democrats, when I say run, I'm not 487 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: sure she'll get their nomination even but she'll certainly be 488 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: in the mix as a Democrat contender, just based on 489 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: name recognition and personal brand alone. Our friends who gave 490 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: some very kind words earlier in the show about this show, 491 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly has an idea he thinks I saw him 492 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: put this out on Twitter that Eric Adams, the Mayor 493 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: of New York City, could be a a sort of 494 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: surprise contender for the Democrats in the This is in 495 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: a Biden's not running, let's have the Democrats have an 496 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: open primary world, which I don't even I'll be honest 497 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: with you, if someone put the someone put the you 498 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: know odds up to me, or someone said you got 499 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: to have another bet. I think Biden's running again right now. 500 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean I think he thinks he's running again against Trump, 501 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: and therefore he's going to run again. But put aside 502 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: whether that's jew or not. Clay, do you see you 503 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: think Eric Adams is somebody who just as the mayor 504 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: of New York City? Because I don't. I think he's 505 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: already such a disaster to New Yorkers that I feel 506 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: like his brand is questionable. Yeah, I don't think he would. 507 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he would play very well nationally because 508 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the story he has to tell for 509 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: New York City is very good. I understand the argument 510 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: of Democrats made such an awful choice in d funding 511 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: the police that they need to swing totally in the 512 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: opposite direction and put a former cop on the ticket 513 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: to try to inoculate themselves from that criticism that is 514 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: one hundred percent valid because crime has skyrocketed all over 515 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: the country. But I don't think Eric Adams is that 516 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: person who can end that criticism. And frankly, he hasn't 517 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: seemed that adroit on the national stage whenever he tries 518 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: to step in and talk beyond New York. I feel 519 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: like whenever we get an opening, though, you think Hillary, 520 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: I think think she's not done yet. You think Hillary 521 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: is still waiting in the wings. I do. I think ultimately, 522 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: when you look at all of the available options out there, 523 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: what Hillary wants to have happen is for everybody to 524 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: come to her on Ben Didnee and say, you're the 525 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: only person out there who can bring the Democrat Party 526 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: to the White House in twenty twenty four. So so, 527 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: but how then, let's look at that narrative for a second. 528 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: You have Biden, who Democrat Democrat perspective, here, Biden beats Trump, 529 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: Hillary loses to Trump. So how can you how you 530 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: know the the Democrat apparatus replaces the winner in a 531 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: sense with the loser based on the fact that Hillary's 532 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: what six or seven years younger I think something like that. 533 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: I think also you have to consider that Trump may 534 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: not be the nominee. There's a big New Yorker piece 535 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: out there about de Santis, so I think Trump de 536 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: Santis that champions up everything, battle Royale, And the only 537 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: way I think Biden's the nominee is if Trump is 538 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: running because they think, oh, he can beat Trump again. 539 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't think he would. I think Trump would squash 540 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: Biden without COVID hanging out over everything, and given how 541 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: poorly Biden has done, he can't sell the I'll make 542 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: things normal when he's been been the most abnormal president 543 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: in generations in terms of his actual president. Yeah, I 544 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: appreciated he sent me that New Yorker profile. Pie's supposed 545 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: to be a hit piece on Descantist and it it 546 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: is great. You love reading a hit piece when it's 547 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: essentially making the arguments that. Yeah, Ronda Santis, when other 548 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: people were at partying and doing kex stands, he was like, 549 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work two jobs to pay off my loans 550 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: and then go serve in the military after I graduate 551 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: from Yale and then Harvard, like a loser. It was 552 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: really there was a line in there from one of 553 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: his teammates where he was like, oh, he was basically 554 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: a jerk, and he was always working really hard all 555 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: the time, and his papers were so good that other 556 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: people couldn't claim they were even his work because he 557 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: came up with such original thoughts. And oh, by the way, 558 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: he said no to the experts and opened up Florida. 559 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, these are all things that 560 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: are very positive. Even even the snide comments that they 561 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: could get from people that allegedly knew him in his 562 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: past were either dripping with jealousy and or just made 563 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: him sound even cooler. It's right, you know it. So 564 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I think that battle's gonna happen. But I wonder if 565 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: they're going to circle back to Hillary, because I'm not 566 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: sure that anybody else is able to get the nomination. 567 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: And I think you can't underrate Kamala is black and 568 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: she is a woman by the Democrat's own standards. If 569 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: Biden we're not running, it would be racist and sexist 570 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: for her not to be the nominee. So I think 571 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: that knocks out a lot of people. Hillary at least 572 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: could end the sexist argument if they could find a 573 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: consistently good I mean, the Eric Adams argument, he's a 574 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: black guy, so that would at least take the race 575 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: out of equation. But I don't know how you knock 576 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: out both the woman and the minority without being racist 577 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: and sexist. Come back and close it up here to 578 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: SEC folks, stay with us. You know, the primaries before 579 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: the upcoming midterm elections are just months away.

So what do you call it in comedy 615 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: when you circle around to the original joke? You know 616 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: what I mean?

I retired from Lorne 627 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: and I'm still serving, and you know, I'm I'm pretty 628 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: much disgusted by everything that's come out. Really, it's a 629 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: a lot of I don't have a lot of words 630 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: right now. It's pretty sick me. Yeah it was.

Here we get 633 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: a call we get a call again. Thanks John. Um. 634 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: I knew this was going to happen. Um. I was 635 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: on Tucker Show talking about this, I think two weeks ago, 636 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: and I said, the more we find out effectively, the 637 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: worst and the more unacceptable was the word I use 638 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: the response will it's not to pass blame not to 639 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: Monday Morning Quarterback. Lessons learned, you know, the same way 640 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: that we all learned after nine. Even if someone says 641 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: they're hijacking the plane, you fight to take back that cockpit. 642 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: You don't say, oh, maybe we're gonna land somewhere and 643 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: negotiate an active shooter situation. It's every man woman capable 644 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: of wielding a weapon and going after that shooter has 645 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: to do so. When the investigation inside of Texas refers 646 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: to it as an abject failure, when they say that 647 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: the gunman should have been neutralized within three minutes, that 648 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: the door was unlocked the entire time. Everyone is imperfect, 649 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: no matter what you do for a living. This appears 650 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: to have been, as it is described, an abject failure. 651 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: And you can support police generally while acknowledging that sometimes 652 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: police do not do their job just like any other 653 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: profession out there. And in this situation, they totally failed 654 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: the kids and the teachers inside of those classrooms. And 655 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: I would hope that everyone out there listening across the 656 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: country will recognize when this situation happens again, that you 657 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: can't set up a perimeter, you can't set up a barricade. 658 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: You have to go balls to the wall after the shooter. 659 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: This should never happen again in American history. I just 660 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: want us to say we so appreciate the experience, the expertise, 661 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: the knowledge, and just the common sense that this audience 662 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: brings to us.
