Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. The show did not burn down last week. 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: It appears that mister Sexton held things together admirably. I 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: am back from Michigan. Amazing time in northern Michigan. Perfect weather. 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: It's been hot everywhere, the lakes were cold, the nights 7 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: were a little bit a little bit chilly, at least 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: for a Southern guy. Felt great in August. Here on 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the show, the cops only were called a few times, Clay, 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: but we hid the kegs from them, so no fines 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: given everything. Everything was safe. Everything was safe. Buck tried 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: to get away this weekend, I understand, and had double 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: flights canceled. And chaos continues right like the Congratulations America. 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: We've got eighty seven thousand new irs agents. We managed that. 15 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: We talked about this, Buck, and I'll just dive right 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: into it. Thanks to everybody by the way that came 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: up and said they listened to the show. Met tons 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: of you all over Michigan. Appreciate everybody, how friendly you 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: were to my family. Kids went back to school today 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: down here. Actually they had a half day Friday, but 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot of southern schools back up and running. That 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: is the case in the Travis household. So my kids 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 1: are back in school, sent them off this morning. Maybe 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: we'll be a bit quiet around the house sometimes. Buck. 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: They were screaming and yelling while they were playing video 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: games downstairs during this show, and I had to go downstairs, say, 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, Dad works upstairs. But eighty seven thousand new 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: RRS agents, we now are going to have almost as 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: many IRS agents as we do United States Marine Corps members. 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: And right in the middle of a reflect a recession 31 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: with inflation at nine point one percent. The Democrats, as 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: we were concerned, and I'll say on this show, Buck, 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: you and I started talking about out this months and 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: months ago. Would Democrats try to ram through one last 35 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: bill right before they were going to lose control of 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: at least the House, maybe the Senate. And they did. 37 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: They spent nearly eight hundred million dollars, And I think 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: the country is going to be worse off. You raise 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: taxes on many different small businesses during a recession, many 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: different businesses overall eight added yeah, added further did I 41 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: say million billion? Yes, added further billion, here a billion, there, 42 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred and forty billion added further inflationary pressure. Not 43 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: that the economists have gotten very much right at all, 44 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: but almost every economists lined up looking at these numbers 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: and said, even though this is called a very Orwellian fashion, 46 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: the Inflation Reduction Act, it will actually add a massive 47 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: amount potentially of inflationary pressure to our country's economy. Buck. 48 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: This was the worst possible thing that Democrats could have 49 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: done in the summer before the election for the nation. 50 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: So of course they did it paying off their constituents. 51 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: In the green energy side of things, they like that one. Right, 52 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: there's close to one hundred billion dollars of straight up 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: taxpayer cash for windmills, solar panels, probably some carbon credit programs. 54 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: So that's all snuck into this, just for everyone knows. 55 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: They call that green energy investments. What that is is 56 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: spending your money, you, the American people, on stuff that 57 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: is inefficient, unnecessary, and favors the Democrat green ideology. They're 58 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: also talking a lot about bringing down prescription drug prices 59 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: as a means of trying to stop seniors from looking 60 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: at what's going on here with the inflict because remember 61 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: a lot of them are on fixed income, and so 62 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: inflation really hurts them because a lot of their fixed 63 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: income isn't going to keep up with the inflation that 64 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: we see, and so they're trying to have a minor 65 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: giveaway to seniors that will make them think, I guess 66 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Biden's not that good on the economy. A huge expansion 67 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of the irs. And did you see over the weekend, 68 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: Clay there are these people, I mean, the quizzlings, the 69 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: throne shiners, the boot shiners of the regime on social 70 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: media saying well, if you're not if you're gonna worry 71 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: about the irs, maybe you should just pay your taxes. 72 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: As if these idiots, and I guess a lot of 73 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: them who are journals in Brooklyn and DC haven't been 74 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: through this, don't understand that the tax code is effectively 75 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: when you add it all together, tens of thousands of 76 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: pages with the opinions and everything else, and it is 77 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: opaque on purpose. It is meant to keep you in 78 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: perpetual fear because you never know. They claim to know 79 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: what the exact number is that you owe, but they 80 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: won't tell you until after you've paid, and if you 81 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: pay the wrong amount, maybe they'll just give you a fine, 82 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: maybe they'll send you to prison. This is a tweet 83 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: from Steve Guest to contextualize, and you're exactly right. The 84 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: IRS will now have more employees federal government IRS employees, 85 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: then the Pentagon, the State Department, the FBI, and Border 86 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Control combined. We're talking about over doubling the number of 87 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: IRS agents. And this is important too. This is from 88 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: Phil Kirpin. An amendment that was offered by the Republicans 89 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: on the eighty seven thousand new IRS agents said hey, 90 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: we want those new RRS agents to only audit companies 91 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: and individuals with income of four hundred thousand dollars or more. 92 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: It failed. So if you're out there and you're thinking 93 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: to yourself, oh, well, they're just gonna go after billionaires. 94 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: There are only around seven hundred and eighty billionaires in 95 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: the United States, and the vast majority of those billionaires 96 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: have incredible, incredible tax attorneys and accountants, and they're already 97 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: spending millions of dollars to make sure that they're following 98 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: all of this. I think what's going to unfortunately happen here, 99 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Buck is you're going to have so many people out 100 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: there who don't have large incomes that are going to 101 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: get letters in the mail, because that's how the letter 102 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: comes on an IRS audit. You don't have buy and large, 103 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: if you're a regular person in America a lot of 104 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: money to fight IRS audits. They're going to be suddenly demanding, Hey, 105 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: you owed eight thousand dollars more, and you're going to 106 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: end up having to spend thousands of dollars to defend yourself, 107 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: even if you didn't do anything at all wrong. This 108 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: is the huge lie that democrats engage in all the time. 109 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: We're just going to tax the rich people. There's not 110 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: enough money that rich people even have, I mean truly 111 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: rich people. There's not enough money to pay for the 112 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: agenda that democrats want for more than a couple of months. 113 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: And that's if you took all their money. We're talking 114 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: about billionaires with the spending well, you're talking about a 115 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: three or four trillion dollars spending package. You could you 116 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: could take the money from the billionaires. It wouldn't last 117 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: very long. And I mean seize their assets. I don't 118 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: even mean raise their tax rate two percent? So where 119 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: does the money really come from? And this is what 120 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: they never want people to understand because it's so class 121 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: warfare and envy are unfortunately effective politics everyone. But this 122 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: goes back to Bastiat, you know Bostiot, the law the Frenchman. 123 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: He wrote the law Clay you'd love it. He says 124 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: that the great fiction of the status is that they 125 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: can live at the expense of everyone else. Right, that 126 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna get taxed, everyone's gonna get stuff, and they 127 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: won't pay for it. Right, the expense of the fiction 128 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: that you can live at the expense of every other man. 129 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: The real money comes from what you said, five grands, 130 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: six grand, seven grand in additional tax to people making 131 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: sixty grand, seventy grand, eighty grand. But millions and millions 132 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: of those people. That's why they need tens of thousands 133 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: of additional IRS agents, folks, to go through the audits 134 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: on the millions of people, not on the one hundred billionaires. 135 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: We're talking about doubling the number of IRS agents out there. 136 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a big college football stadium full 137 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: of pencil pushing IRS agents, and they're selling this purchase, 138 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: this edition, this expansion by saying, oh, we're gonna make 139 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: so much more money as a result of all these 140 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: IRS agents because we're gonna catch so many more people 141 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: cheating on their taxes. I just don't believe that's true. 142 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: I really don't, because they're auditing high level, high income 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: people on a regular basis. I think I've said this 144 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: on the air before. Buck. You know, one of the 145 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: first things I was told when I took this job, 146 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: somebody in the know said, expect to get audited every 147 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: year for the rest of your life. Now, because you're 148 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: going from being a sports talk radio guy. People don't 149 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: really care that much about sports talk radio. You know, 150 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: you're kind of in the toy chest of life as 151 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: a sports talk radio guy. You're stepping into the Rush 152 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: Limbaugh time slot. You're going to be saying a lot 153 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: of things that many people in high positions of the 154 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: government don't like. And much like Rush and the Rush 155 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: crew can talk about this, Rush got audited all the 156 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: time by the irs. Where were you doing the show from? 157 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: Did you cross that t? Did you dot that eye? 158 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Because they didn't like what he said. One of the 159 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: first things I was told was you're going to get 160 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: audited every year for the rest of your life. And 161 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there listening to 162 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: us that with eighty seven thousand additional irs agents are 163 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: going to find yourselves in the same boat. Rush was 164 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: audited Clay by the State of New York, and Rush 165 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: talked about this. Obviously, a lot of the audience remembers 166 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: this from listening to him. Twelve years in a row. Yeah, 167 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: twelve straight years. Yeah, of audits. And I believe there 168 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: was a line from then Governor Patterson. Am I right 169 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: on this one, guys where Patterson, when this was brought 170 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: to his attention that Rush was honored at twelve years 171 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: in a row, said well, if that would get him 172 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: to leave the state, I wish we had done it 173 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: even sooner. That's the governor of the State of New York, folks. 174 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean one of the big things that we've learned, 175 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: and I think it was hammered home more in the 176 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: Trump era than at any other time in living memory. 177 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: Although you remember the Obama administration, Clay had the lowest learner. 178 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: I r rest. I mean it was yes, in an 179 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: election year, Yes, putting their hand on the scale against 180 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: any organization, any entity that had patriot liberty, freedom in 181 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: the name. If you want to know what the Libs 182 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: really hate, by the way, patriots, people that like liberty, 183 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: people that like freedom, and they admitted this, this was 184 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: this was something they would have called the conspiracy, but 185 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: lowest learner to get ahead of it said yes, so 186 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: we kind of edited and it was meant to suppress 187 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: Tea Party group. Why because they got their asses kicked 188 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: in twenty ten by the Tea Party. So twenty twelve 189 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: rolls around. Guess what twenty eleven the IRS all of 190 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: a sudden is not pushing through these groups, not allowing 191 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: them to get their tax exempt status, doing everything, And 192 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: they say, oh, there was no top down order for this. 193 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: Does anyone think the authoritarian agents of the IRS needed 194 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: to be told they'd get a pat on the back 195 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: for crushing as many Tea Party groups as possible. I 196 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: don't think so, and as many of you will learn, 197 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: unfortunately thanks to this bill being passed, the investigation itself 198 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: is often the punishment because the amount of time, energy, 199 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: and effort that you are going to have to spend 200 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: responding to these eighty seven thousand IRS agents when an 201 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: audit arrives on your doorstep, is going to be even 202 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: if you paid your taxes accurately, and even if you 203 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: paid where the differences a thousand dollars or eight hundred 204 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: dollars or something of that nature. You're going to spend 205 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: far more than that responding to their audit. So we're 206 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: talking about a default additional tax irrespective of the tax itself, 207 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: but the man our tax, the accounting tax, the irs 208 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: attorney tax. That many people out there, and remember again, 209 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: I think this is important to emphasize. Republicans tried to say, hey, 210 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: only people making four hundred thousand dollars or more, because 211 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: remember Biden lied and said, hey, if you make four 212 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or more or less, I'll never raise 213 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: your taxes. Democrats, we're not willing to say, okay, we're 214 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: only going to focus on people who make four hundred 215 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: thousand dollars or more because to your point, Buck, they 216 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: know that the real money, given where incomes are, is 217 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: in going after the guy who's a small business owner 218 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: and might have made one hundred and twenty five thousand 219 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: dollars in a year, and they're gonna argue, hey, you 220 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: miss identified one of the one of the details on 221 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: your tax return vary to your point, Buck, the most 222 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: and one of the most infuriating things out there. People 223 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: have this idea if you don't spend a lot of 224 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: time in the tax code. Is that the tax code 225 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: is a math problem. It's really an accounting art. Right. 226 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: You can have ten different accountants. You can give them 227 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: all every bit of paperwork that you have, and they 228 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: will come up with ten different amounts that you owe, 229 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: all of them trying to do the best job that 230 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: they can. Once your tax has become a little bit complicated, 231 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: you run a small business, You've got multiple different income 232 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: streams coming in. I know this. I file my taxes 233 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: every year, Buck, I sign off on it. I can 234 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: barely understand it. You remember Donald's cot used to send 235 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: a letter into the irs. Yeah, that's so exactly where 236 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: he would say. Just to be clear, I have a 237 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: team of a team of attorneys and accountants looking at this, 238 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: and I want to state for the record that I 239 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: do not you're asking me to say if these are accurate. 240 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I think they are, but I do not know. And 241 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: he did that every year, and you know, Donald runs. 242 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: I'll think what you will about the guy who's a 243 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: smart guy. You can be brilliant and not able to 244 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: follow the tax code. In fact, that's why I've argued 245 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: for a long time. You know the Forbes tax cut 246 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: tax idea flat tax, fifteen percent, twelve percent, whatever the 247 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: heck he was arguing for on a postcard. It actually 248 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: does make a ton of sense. All the fair tax 249 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: fans in the audience are about about to hop in 250 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: your mentions, Clay, fair tax, not flat tax, like you've 251 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: betrayed them by saying flat tax. But I never know 252 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: which one I'm supposed to say. I like the fair 253 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: tax and the flat I'll take either of them, you 254 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think load taxes and I 255 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: want less. I rs agent. I think that's a good plan. Yeah, folks, 256 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense why businesses are trying to nickel 257 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: and dime you. We're just talking to the government's trying 258 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: to turn you upside down or shake out your pockets. 259 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: You don't think companies are trying to do that too. 260 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: It's tough out there right now. But that's why I 261 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: love pure Talk, because they're not doing that. Pure Talk 262 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: is my cell phone carrier.

All of a sudden, 282 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: you'll get people that are saying, well, I'm somebody who's 283 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: focuses the economy, but now I want to weigh in 284 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: on guns, or I'm somebody who's focused his education, But 285 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: how dare you say this about crime policies? And with 286 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: that I would bring you a little back and forth 287 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: between Senator Marco Rubio, who pointed out because there was 288 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: there was an amendment that did not get passed over 289 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: the weekend that everybody should know about, and they were 290 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: they were hoping to add some things in about about 291 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: Soros back prosecutors crime to essentially make us safer. Right, 292 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: That was something that was part of this. So Rubio 293 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: wanted to add add something into this, and he tweeted 294 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: something about it. He said, the Democrats just block my 295 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: effort to try and force Uros backed prosecutors to put 296 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: dangerous criminals in jail. That was the Rubio tweet. Clay, Yeah, 297 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: because they're trying to say, look, you can't have these 298 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: prosecutors who essentially decide that they are a law unto 299 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: themselves and you break the law. And this has been happening. 300 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean, George Gascone in Los Angeles, who still needs 301 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: to be recalled everybody. He decided the three strike law 302 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: just doesn't apply. That is the law. But he says, no, 303 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm just not going to I'm not going to follow 304 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: the three strikes law. He's just going to ignore what 305 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: the actual laws. As a prosecutor. Randy Weingarten, who is 306 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: alongside Fauci and some of the very worst people from 307 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: the pandemic. Has decided that she has some thoughts on 308 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: criminal justice about which she knows nothing. But she's the 309 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: chief commissar for the teachers unions, as we all know. 310 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: She tweeted out in response to Rubio, this is how 311 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: anti Semitism takes root and spreads. What is a sorospacked prosecutor? 312 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: Soros is a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust. Orbon, 313 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: the authoritarian leader of Hungary. Hungary, demonizes Soros all the 314 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: time and Orbon's culture award as a press freedom Democraty. First, well, 315 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't care what Orbon is doing. Second, and you know, 316 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: I'm talking about American criminal justice system. Yeah. And second 317 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: of all, George Soros backed prosecutors, Our prosecutors, Clay who 318 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: George Soros says, I am backing them, and I am 319 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: writing them checks. And they are literally George Soros backed prosecutors. 320 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: Like if you said, hey, these are Clay Travis backed 321 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: Senate candidates, you'd have a pretty good sense who they were, right, 322 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: because you would say, oh, yeah, well, those are people 323 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: that Clay Travis has backed, or Buck Sexton has backed. 324 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: Would it be like, oh, I do attack uh southern 325 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: Southern concern. Of course you would ever say that, but 326 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: like literally he's describing what Soros did. If if someone 327 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: were to say Clay Travis by backing herschel Walker, is 328 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: you know that's that's not true, He's not backing her. Well, yeah, Actually, 329 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: if you say vote for the guy, you're backing him. 330 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: If you write someone to check, you're saying back, say 331 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: the same thing with me. So severyone gets that point. 332 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: George Soros even wrote an op ed in the Wall 333 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: Street Journal a week ago saying, yes, I back all 334 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: these prosecutors, and I agree with what they're doing. Yes, 335 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: which is the whole We're doing exactly what he wanted 336 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: them to do. Yeah, and he's just some stuff about 337 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: all the data shows. The data shows that these does 338 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: not actually make people less safe. Everyone knows the data 339 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: shows that it actually makes you less safe. Everyone who's 340 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: living in a city or really anywhere in the country 341 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: these days that's had a major increase in crime, and 342 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: this is still a big problem. I mean John Miller, 343 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: who was a very senior guy in the NYPD for 344 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: a while. I think he was in counter Terrorism Division, 345 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: which is different than Intel Division. The NYPD has over 346 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: forty thousand swore law enforcements, a big organization. I was 347 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: in Intel Division for a little while for about eighteen months, 348 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: but Miller was I think CTD. He might have been 349 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: the chief of counter Terrorism and Division. But he said 350 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: recently that Bill Reform Clay was an Adam bomb that 351 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: set us back a decade. And this has big implications, 352 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: particularly in New York, because the Mayor of New York 353 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: has started to say this stuff is crazy. Last week 354 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: he said that our criminal justice system in New York 355 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: is broken. And Hokel who is among the dumbest politicians 356 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,239 Speaker 1: in America, which is quite it ain't being a high Barlett, 357 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: she's among the dumbest. Her theory now is that the 358 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: only problem with the bail reform law is we need judges. 359 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: This was through a spokesman of the weekend. We need 360 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: judges to be better educated in it so they'll understand 361 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: the bail reform law better. Oh yeah, that's going to 362 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: fix the problem here. The rubber has met the road, folks. 363 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: The results are in of the experiment, and yes, the 364 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Sorrows backed prosecutors are a nightmare, and bail reform is crazy. 365 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: It is, and everybody out there knows that the murder 366 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: rates have skyrocketed. I was reading over the weekend. I 367 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 1: think the number now, Buck and I was looking at 368 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: the chart. I think we're up almost fifty percent in 369 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: murders nationwide since BLM protests started. I want you to 370 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: think about how crazy that is. We had the largest 371 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: increase ever in twenty twenty, nearly thirty percent if I 372 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: remember correctly the murders, and as Buck and I have 373 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: pointed out, the murders didn't start until the George Floyd incident, right, 374 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: we were actually under the numbers of prior year. Murders 375 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: prior to George Floyd continued to increase in twenty twenty one, 376 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: and many cities have also seen further increases in twenty 377 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: twenty two, such that the overall national murder rate is 378 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: I believe, up almost fifty percent. Well, it was up 379 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: thirty percent in one year. So just to put this 380 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: in perspect, one year twenty twenty nationally goes up thirty percent, 381 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: which is antastrophic if you add them all up, because 382 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: what they'll say the next year. We know they were 383 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: up again in twenty twenty one, but they were like 384 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: up five or six percent right off of the nearly 385 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: thirty percent. There was twenty nine percent increase in twenty twenty, 386 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: and now they're up again in twenty twenty two. And 387 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: if you add all that up and look at those numbers, 388 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: up nearly fifty percent in overall national murder rates just 389 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: since May of twenty twenty, when the George Floyd protests started. 390 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: It's wild to think about how quickly things changed hairpin 391 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: turn right then and there. And then there's also the 392 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: long tail to some of these. You know, there's the 393 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 1: after effects, the secondary effects, what comes down the line 394 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: when you started to make some of these decisions that 395 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: that really you can trace back to. There were a 396 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: few years a very aggressive Soros back prosecutes, prosecutors getting 397 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: put into place, and the defund police and end mass incarceration. 398 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this, and some people won't 399 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: like this. Trump criminal justice reform was part of this 400 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: movement and did not actually end up having the intended effect. 401 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: We thought, oh, look at this, there's bipartisan criminal justice reform. 402 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: Isn't this so nice? Will that actually open the door 403 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: for a lot of what we're seeing now, because oh, well, 404 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: let's just keep this going In essentially created a perception that, yeah, 405 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: there are a lot of there are a lot of 406 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: people who are who are serving prison sentences for non 407 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: violent crimes for decades on end, all across the country. 408 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: In fact, that's the norm. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. 409 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: It does happen, But is that really the norm? Are 410 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: people getting arrested for their first time for non violent 411 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: crimes and getting ten, fifteen, twenty year sentences because that's 412 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: what we were led to believe. That's not true. Depends 413 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: obviously on the jurisdiction and what we're talking about, but 414 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: in general, that's not It's certainly not true in New 415 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: York and Los Angeles, in these places. But the other effect, Clay, 416 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: is that now you have two thousand NYPD cops this 417 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: was just reported on in the last twenty four hours 418 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: quit before getting their full pench. That's a seventy one 419 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: percent jump from twenty twenty one. This is cops who 420 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: are the pensions a huge benefit and every I mean 421 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: I know cops that were getting that were getting their 422 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: pensions because Intel Division, where I was was kind of 423 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: the one of the perk you know, that's where a 424 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: lot of people want to go. To Intel Division had 425 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of funding, kind of a premier 426 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: destination for guys who had been on the job a 427 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: long time, and to leave before you get your pension 428 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: because the pension benefits are very solid for the NYPD. 429 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: That is an indicator of people saying, I can't take 430 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: this anymore. I'm not even gonna wait it out another 431 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: two or three years, Clay, I'm getting out early while 432 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: I can still get out before I get caught up 433 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: with a case of some kind or you know, they 434 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: decide to nail me for some nonsense. Well, and that's 435 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: the fear is. In addition to the fact that we 436 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: haven't been able to hire new cops, the most experienced 437 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: and often some of the best are deciding to retire 438 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: or leave and go into other professions because of the 439 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: amount of disrespect they're dealing with. And that's why I 440 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: think it's going to be hard to reverse this overall 441 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: murder increase. I mean, how do we get back down 442 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: below the numbers that existed in twenty twenty and take 443 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: it back down into the numbers that we were seeing 444 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, when a lot of these 445 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: cities were hitting all time lows in the amount of 446 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: murders that we're taking place. And the answer is you 447 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: have to have a full on cultural change in terms 448 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: of the amount of respect that you're willing to show 449 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: for police, and the Democrats don't seem willing to do 450 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: that at all. We come back, we'll talk more about this. 451 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: Herschel Walker schedule to join us at the top of 452 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: the third hour, sending at candidate taking on the Reverend 453 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: Raphael war knocked down in the state of Georgia.

Herschel, Well, first of all, I think 495 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: everybody can see that Senator one Hunt is fell in 496 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: love with it, and I'm gonna say that the Biden 497 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: Takes bill because this is another example he seemed to 498 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: kill more about Joe Biden than he does with the 499 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Georgia voters. Because as I was getting around the state 500 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: over the last week talking about this bill, most of 501 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: the industries there and Georgia was saying how much this 502 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: bill is going to cripple him, and they're gonna them 503 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: out of disadvantage against people like China, and not only that, 504 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, how in the world can you raise taxes 505 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: during a recession even though they said that the definition 506 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: of recession is not recession, which they're trying to fool 507 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: us on that, And it's going to make more inflation. 508 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: And I think people need to know that. It's seem 509 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: like Reverend One Eye has gotten so great at being 510 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: in Washington, being a Washington politician that I hope you'll 511 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: come back to Georgia and Georgia people here and hear 512 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: what they got to say, because they're speaking out and 513 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: I hear it from them, and I'm going to represent 514 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: to people, and I want to people to know he's 515 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: representing Joe Biden. Hey, herschulz Bach, thanks for being with 516 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: us again. Are you definitely going to be debating? Are 517 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: you definitely gonna be debating Raphael Warnock. I've seen some 518 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: back and forth in the press in the last few 519 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: days over this. Is there a number of debates that 520 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: you want to have that you're that you're going to 521 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: extend to your opponent here and what are some of 522 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: the top things you would want to ask Warnock? Well, 523 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: it's very simple, and I think sending one. I need 524 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: to admit that he's scared. I think he is totally scared. 525 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, he talked about debate, debate, debate, and right now, 526 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, I've given them an opportunity that we could 527 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: have two discussion. One we can have a Lincoln Douglas 528 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: discussion over the bill that he's just approved that he 529 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: thought was great, that DC nine is crippling, is going 530 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: to cripple the businesses are in Georgia. And the other 531 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: was going to be a debate that we're going to 532 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: have in Savannah, Georgia, in front of a live audience, 533 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: in front of a where the entire state and watch 534 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: the debate, where he can answer to those questions, people 535 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: can see the contrast between Senator one knot myself, you know, 536 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: what he believes in or what I believe And he 537 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: turned that down as well. I think what he'll like 538 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: to do is high behind his the leap media and 539 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: high behind them, and and I think that's what it is. 540 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: He is totally scared because you know, he's an incumbent 541 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: senator and I want to do it in his hometown 542 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: in front of a live audience where the people can 543 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: see the differences between Herschel walking Senator War and he 544 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: said no. And it's sort of like, I want to 545 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: debate October fourteenth, and if everyone can, anyone can call 546 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: him in Washington or getting to come out of Washington, 547 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: come to his home. Let's do a debate so the 548 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: people can see the differences between here and myself. Herschel, 549 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: You've obviously spent a lot of time interacting with military 550 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: over your career. What do you think about the wokeness 551 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: that's going on in the military right now and also 552 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: the number of military enlisted people and reservists who might 553 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: be losing their jobs over the COVID shot. Well, that 554 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: is that is very, very disturbing. You know, just last 555 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: week I had a veteran week where I got a 556 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: chance to talk with some active mements and a few 557 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: a lot of veterans, and you know, that is disturbing. 558 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: We had all the heroes that we're gonna now gonna 559 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: lose all their retirement and every and everything because the 560 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: government going to demand that they take a COVID shot, 561 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: when yet they paid the price for the freedoms and 562 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: liberties we have. And this wokeness within the military that 563 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Raphael want not want to put within 564 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: the military gonna get a lot of our service men 565 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: and women killed. You know he's gonna get them killed 566 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: because I can promise you Chaina Russia, Iran and not 567 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: worrying about no wokeness. They're worrying about war. So Biden 568 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: nose obsessing this with the wokeness. It's gonna get gonna 569 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: cost a lot of all military men and women their lives. 570 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: And I can promise you that a grenade doesn't care 571 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: about no pronoun, that a bullet don't care what color 572 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: your skin is. And uh, we gotta contendue to get 573 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: get behind all militaries and get them ready for war 574 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: because you see what's happening with Chaina right now. You 575 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: know chain is threatening us whenever they want. We have 576 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: to show strength. And you know everyone always says us 577 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: peace through strength. And why are we not showing that? 578 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: You know, A reverend want continue to talk that he 579 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: cares about the military. If he cares, why is he 580 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: not a year ago, defianything happened. Why is he not 581 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: holding Joe Biden accountable before having what happened then Afghanistan? 582 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: Why is he not holding Joe Biden and Lord Austin 583 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: saying we got to get rid of this woking, this 584 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: out of the military. We got to have a strong 585 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: military and not a weak military. Hey, Herschel you know, 586 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: for anybody listening in the state of Georgia, we got 587 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: stations there that are broadcasting all across the state. Anyone 588 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: who says, you know, I really like Herschel Walker obviously 589 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: fantastic athlete, seems like a great guy. But I've you know, 590 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: he has no political experience. I don't know about that. 591 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: If anyone had a question about that, and they would 592 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: want to know, what are you going to bring to 593 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: this what in your background makes you feel like you're 594 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: the person to fight for them in the Senate from 595 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: the great state of Georgia. What would you say? Well, 596 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: first of all, Reverend one, I had no political experience. 597 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: He goes to Revere. You know, I've started a business. 598 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: I've had a successful business. I'm continuing to run my business. 599 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: I said on a public traded board. I know about teamwork, 600 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: I know how to bring people together, and seem like 601 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: all they want to do is separate people, and I 602 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: won't know about teamwork. I think my experience is probably 603 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: some of the business experience anyone can have because I 604 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: also love this country. I love America, I love the Constitution. 605 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: I think that's what's most important. Right now. It seemed 606 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: like everyone on the left continuing to want to separate 607 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: everyone in this country and pretend that we're terrible, racist people. 608 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: Well we're not. We're not that we have all problems, 609 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: which we do, but we can solve those problems together. 610 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: We got to contend to work together, and I'm not 611 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: afraid to cross the all of our need to be, 612 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: you know, but right now, we got to get rid 613 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: of people out of the office that's not representing the 614 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: people that put them there. And that's what's happening right 615 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: now that I'm going against Senator Warnock. You know, he 616 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: is continuing to try to separate people and he's not 617 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: doing a good job. So I think it's time for 618 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: him to go. Herschel. I'm not sure if Reverend Warnock 619 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: has gone on the record with this, but I know 620 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, who is running up in Pennsylvania, has he 621 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: said that men who decide that they are women should 622 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: be competing against women. And also, this is the Democrat 623 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: talking point now that men can get pregnant did you 624 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: ever believe that we would be having conversations about men deciding, hey, 625 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go compete against the girls and I'm gonna 626 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: use the girls locker room and things like that, and 627 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: that you would have Democrats arguing that men can get 628 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: pregnant too. Well, you know, it is totally disturbing when 629 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: you have someone in Washington argument on a point like that, 630 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: that is totally disturbing. It is disgusting. And you know, 631 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: one of the things I said, and I just said 632 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: that was a joke. Do you think you want herschel 633 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: worker competing against your daughter? Let's be honest at my age, now, 634 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: will you want me competing against your daughter? Revd won't 635 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,479 Speaker 1: answer that question because he's afraid to answer that question. 636 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: But yet he vote nine to six percent at the time. 637 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: But Joe Biden, who they're making statements like that, I 638 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: know for a fight, a man cannot get pregnant. I 639 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: don't care what anyone says. They need to speak out 640 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: against that, and Reverend one Night need to come out 641 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: and speak and quit stand and Washington, the elite Washingtonian 642 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: and whatever they may call themselves and speak the truths 643 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: for the Georgia people right now. This country is in 644 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: this country has heard it. We need leaders in Washington 645 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: that's going to go to the table and make the 646 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: right decision and revering one not doing that. You know, 647 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: they want to change the definition of recession. Let's be honest. 648 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 1: It is in Webster, look it up. But yet they're 649 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,760 Speaker 1: trying to fool everyone by telling you do not believe 650 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: your lying eyes, don't get into your lying years. And 651 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 1: that's not right. I don't know if you've seen this yet, 652 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: but the top twenty five poll came out in college 653 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: football just in the last hour or so. Herschel, Your 654 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldogs are the defending national champions.

Yet Alabama number one, Ohio State 657 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: number two, Georgia Bulldogs number three. What do you think 658 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 1: about Georgia being ranked third behind two teams that they 659 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: were much better than last year. Well, I'm happy to 660 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: see it because they always give Georgia something to shoot at. 661 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: When you're the top dog, they're gonna come out to you. 662 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: You see there coming out for me, like now right now, 663 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: they're coming out of me, goes, I am the top 664 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: dog right now, they're afraid of me.

The top 667 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: team is Alabama, but Alabama gonna have to prove it 668 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: weekend and week out that they're number one.

And an example of 729 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: this would be Clay. Have you seen The Terminal List yet? 730 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: I've heard it's great. No, I have not. Have you 731 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: watched it? I have watched every episode of The Terminal List. 732 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: Jack Carr is a friend. I've known Jack for a 733 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: few years. So explain. Explain this show, because I bet 734 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of our audience that would like it. 735 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: Explain this show for people like me who know it 736 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 1: exists but have no concept of what it's about. So 737 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: it's a The main character is played by Chris Pratt, 738 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: is a Navy seal named James Reese who comes home 739 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: after some special operations abroad. They're ambush. I don't want 740 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: to give much away, but there's a sinister plot that 741 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: goes to the heart of the military industrial complex, and 742 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: basically Chris Pratt is running around taken out bad guys. 743 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: Lots of the tactical sequences are very well done. They 744 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: bring in seals and people with similar expertise so that 745 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: the actual gun battles and everything look really cool. I 746 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: mean they do a good job with that as as entertainment, 747 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: but they they hate it because there's there's no wokeness. Okay, 748 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: there's no there's no social It's like it's in that way. 749 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: It's like Top Gun Maverick, which has been in theaters 750 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: for some odd seventy some odd days and is now 751 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: the most successful paramount movie of all time. It passed Titanic, 752 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: that's how successful it is. But I mean even that 753 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: movie Clay, just to be fair, who's the bad guy? 754 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: It's like a make believe country in Eastern Europe or something. 755 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they work to look they're going 756 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: for the global market. I get it. And apparently we 757 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: don't make movies anymore. We're fighting other countries. It wasn't 758 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: woke even in the original Top gun't know who the 759 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: bad guy was. It was I mean everyone, it was 760 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union right with the red star on the helmets. 761 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: But um yeah, I'm just saying it's it wasn't woke. 762 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: But it wasn't like, it wasn't Team America World Police either, 763 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It wasn't. It wasn't going 764 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,280 Speaker 1: too hard with the stars and stripes and the flag. 765 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,760 Speaker 1: But okay, but so so Rotten Tomatoes ninety four percent 766 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: audience score for this. Um, it's a good show because 767 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: one thing that Carrie and I have been struggling with 768 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: is we're trying to find a show to watch that 769 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: we can both enjoy together, and it's you watch, you 770 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: watch stuff, and you go, am, I is everything just 771 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: green lit by the editorial team at MSNBC. Now, I 772 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: mean it's all so, it's such trash, it's so and 773 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: ten years ago, I feel like Netflix and HBO there 774 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: was this golden age where they were just making amazing 775 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 1: program They're just making great series, you know, whether Breaking 776 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: Bed and Game of Thrones and Narcos and you know, 777 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: they're making all these great shows. Now, of course, the 778 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: corporations that are behind all this or oh we want 779 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,879 Speaker 1: to be progressive and social justice and their show suck, 780 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: which is not surprising. But I will say, in fairness, 781 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: we did find one show that I A one movie 782 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: I should say that I would recommend to everybody. I 783 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: made Carrie watch this movie The Outfit a couple of 784 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago that wasn't really worth that was okay, it 785 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: was like a B minus, wasn't woke, but just wasn't 786 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: really that good. It was okay, But we watched this 787 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: thirteen lives. Have you seen this? Are you familiar with 788 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: this one? It's about the Tie Youth boys. Yeah, I 789 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 1: was fascinated by that story. For everybody out there. This 790 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: was the soccer team that caught in the cave and 791 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: they flooded and they weren't able to get out. How 792 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: is the Ron Howard made this one right? The movie 793 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: is excellent, highly highly watchable, really moves along. And the 794 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: way they film this that they originally as I read 795 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: a little bit about ex I was curious they were 796 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: actually trying to film a lot of it in the caves, 797 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: but they weren't able to do that for reasons I 798 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: don't even know now, So they moved that I think 799 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: to Queensland in North Australia, because obviously the actual cave 800 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: is in Thailand. But it's amazing. I'll say this, there 801 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: are a few things in the world that I would 802 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: find more terrifying than having to spend six hours underwater 803 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,720 Speaker 1: five and a half six hours underwater in a cave 804 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: with fast moving currents where at some points the cave 805 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: is about shoulder width, so you've got darkness claustrophobia, the 806 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: imminent prospect of death when you if you run out 807 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: of oxygen, or if you just you know, hit your head, 808 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: and I mean there's any number. It is really well done. 809 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: I've I've been trying to tell folks about it. I 810 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: remember that story. The story is even more in anyways 811 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: unbelievable and in the in the end inspiring than I 812 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: remembered it from the news reports. It's crazy what they 813 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: did to get there. I mean, not crazy, isn't. I 814 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: mean they should have done anything, but I mean what 815 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: they managed to pull off with those kids to get them. 816 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: I don't want to give it all away. Is I 817 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: think everybody knows the kids. Yeah that's a true story. 818 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: That's right, because it's a true story. But but yeah, 819 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: that story was captivating to follow and such an ennobling 820 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: story because every day you thought, oh, they're going to 821 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: find the kids and they're not going to be alive. 822 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: That was sort of the subtext of this is a 823 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: flooded cave. There's no way these kids are going to 824 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: have survived for this long. And when they finally found them, 825 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: then it's, oh, my goodness, how in the world are 826 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: we ever going to get them out of here, and 827 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: they managed to do it. Speaking of the Terminal List, 828 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: I was there's an article up at OutKick one of 829 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 1: our good writers that we hired recently, David Hookstead. If 830 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: you haven't already, we had an incredible month. But OutKick 831 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: is kind of like Mona from Heaven. If you're a 832 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: sports fan or just a fan of pop culture and 833 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: you think everything has gone woke. We've got a good 834 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: article about it that went up today about the terminal List. 835 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: One point six billion minutes of viewership on Netflix. Only 836 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: show was the most recent show, Stranger Thing season four 837 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: is the only show that's beaten it in terms of popularity. 838 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: So I'll just point this out. Culture is important in 839 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: terms of what it's saying about what society is interested 840 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 1: in right now. Yellowstone is by far the most popular 841 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: show on television other than sports. Doesn't get nominated for 842 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 1: any Emmy's wildly popular Terminal List evidently on Netflix, insanely popular, 843 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: Top Gun, Maverick. What do all three of those movies 844 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 1: and or shows have in common? Relatively limited woke material? 845 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: And or USA USA USA, right? That is what they 846 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: are overall selling is United States excellent. I mean, and 847 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: I think there's a huge demand for that. You can 848 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: tell very quickly in a lot of these shows. I mean, 849 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: to this point, Clay, I could even take a I 850 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 1: think there's a step even before that. What you're talking 851 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: about is the manifestation of or the way that the 852 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: show actually tells the story, right, is that it focus 853 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: in on those things. I think it really also comes 854 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: down to when they're sitting in the writer's room, is 855 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: the most important thing that they want to intain, entertain 856 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: and engage the audience or is it that they want 857 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 1: to get a pat on the back for the agenda 858 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: and the messaging behind this, because I think you see 859 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: a lot of shows where they start with a premise 860 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: which is, oh, let's make this about you know, let's 861 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,760 Speaker 1: make this about some left wing, woke agenda item instead 862 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: of is this going to be a good story? Is 863 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: this going to really bring people in? And you know, 864 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: you brought up what was the huge show that everyone's 865 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, why is it such a success? Similar 866 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: numbers I think to Yellowstone from years ago was The 867 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 1: Walking Dead? Right? And The Walking Dead's a show where 868 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 1: you take a graphic novel and you're just trying to 869 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: make the most engaging entertainment possible. There's some broader lessons 870 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: about parenting and you know, survival and other things in 871 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 1: their right. But overall you're not getting a political lecture. 872 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: You know, with The Walking Dead, you're just watching something 873 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: that's meant to entertain you. Whenever they do that, their 874 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: success when they're giving you a lecture about woke politics. People. 875 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 1: Increasingly you're saying, I just don't want to watch this. Yep, 876 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: And I'll give you. I know, we got people who 877 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: listen in Hollywood. We've got a big audience in la 878 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: I'll continue to give this out. If you want to 879 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: look like a genius and you want to have the 880 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: number one streaming show or the number one television show, 881 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 1: the number one show in America, turn on Daunted Courage 882 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: by Steven Ambrose, a phenomenal book about the Lewis and 883 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: Clark expedition. Turn it into a mini series, into a 884 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 1: I believe it would be a television event the likes 885 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: of which we have not seen twenty years. Right in 886 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: terms of a historical connection to America pro America. Now 887 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: you can say Game of Thrones was a television event. 888 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: I love that show. Yeah, it's a fantastical show about 889 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 1: you know, about dragons and medieval times. Effectively, I'm talking 890 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: about something that is rooted in American history, that is 891 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: unabashedly patriotic, that tells a triumphal story of an overwhelming, 892 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: difficult and success. I'm sorry, Clay. To get this made, 893 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 1: the Merriwether Lewis is going to have to be a 894 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 1: gender fluid pan sexual and William William Clark is going 895 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: to have to go around begging forgiveness from the Native 896 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: peoples for the future disrespect and and betrayal of the 897 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,959 Speaker 1: of the colonists. I mean, otherwise we can't make that show. 898 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: Politics is downstream of culture, which is a great quote 899 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: from Andrew Breitbart, and I do think it's true if 900 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: you're out there and you're looking at what the political 901 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: message is coming through the cultural success stories out there, 902 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: whether it's Terminal List, whether it's Yellowstone, whether it is Certainly, 903 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: as you break it down, how much demand there has 904 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 1: been for Top Gun Maverick, the most successful movie of 905 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: all time from Tom Cruise's history, it's because people want 906 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 1: pro America, anti woke programming, and there isn't enough of it. 907 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: Did you see? I know you're on vacation and you're 908 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: having a great time with the fan, which was very important. 909 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: You've come back rested in the fight. But did you 910 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,320 Speaker 1: happen to catch because I see you sneaking on to 911 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 1: Twitter a little bit when you're on vacation. I was, 912 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: I still have to manage out Kick. Yeah, I didn't 913 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: do TV, I didn't do radio, but I'm still managing 914 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: our stories at out. So you probably saw that they 915 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: had a ninety million dollar right off with a completed 916 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,320 Speaker 1: film Batgirl. I mean, how now The thing is, I 917 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,240 Speaker 1: want to see that movie so badly because they wrote 918 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: down when they took over, they three hundred million dollars 919 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: CNN plus they said this is an unmitigated disaster. It's done, 920 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: and now ninety million dollars Batgirl. And you know how 921 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: popular superhero movies are, you could basically get one hundred 922 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 1: million dollars. I would think just by advertising a lot 923 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 1: to get people to come watch. I screenwriter or a 924 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 1: producer making a superhero movie and you lose basically one 925 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars on it, you really should learn to code, 926 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 1: like you should find another profession you should would be 927 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,919 Speaker 1: equivalent to. It's a great point you're making a superhero movie. 928 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 1: The studios are all behind it. You almost cannot fail 929 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: because there's such demand for superhero movies. And they watched 930 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 1: your superhero movie and they said it was so bad 931 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 1: we're just going to take a ninety million dollar right off. 932 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: They didn't even put it on the streaming service. There's 933 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 1: one thing if they say, hey, this is not worthy 934 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: of going to the movie theaters. They said it's so 935 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 1: bad that they don't even want their brand associated with it. 936 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 1: In other fields, I'm not even sure I can think 937 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: of an equivalent. I could just I could just see 938 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: this though, like like a Batgirl movie where Batgirl swoops 939 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: in on the bank robbers and they're like, hey, look 940 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: at this. Look at this Broad. We're in a costume. 941 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: She's like, excuse me, sir, Broad, are you assuming my pronouns? 942 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 1: Like you can actually do a great send up of 943 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: this thing. I mean, you could do a great There's 944 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of send up of the overall culture 945 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 1: that goes on in Deadpool, which has been very popular 946 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: as as a movie. But buck think about all the 947 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: people that are cast in this movie. They're saying, hey, 948 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 1: this is gonna be career altering for you. You can't 949 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: go wrong. You get into a superhero movie or the 950 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: next Robert Downey Junior. I can completely do the pitch 951 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 1: that they would have been getting in their Hollywood talent agencies. 952 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: And then they get a call and they say, Yeah, 953 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 1: this movie is so bad that even though we spent 954 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: ninety million dollars, we're basically just going to burn it. 955 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: I guarantee we could write a better screenplay than whenever 956 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: that was between the two of us in forty eight hours. Honestly, 957 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: that's why I want to see I feel. Folks, if 958 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 1: you own a business with five or more employees and 959 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: managed to survive COVID, you could be eligible to receive 960 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: a payroll tax rebate of up to twenty six thousand 961 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,839 Speaker 1: dollars per employee.
