There, Miss Coulter, 8 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: I hear from a little, a little voice in the 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: background that it is your birthday, So happy birthday, first 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: and foremost of you. Thank you.

So and I 13 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you. You know, we have these stories 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: going on every day now. It seemed at least Fox 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: is covering it. To Clay and I talk about it. 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: The border is so bad and so dystopian when it 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: comes to lawlessness, constant illegal crossings, and it's all really well, 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say all, but it's primarily through asylum requests, right, 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: So it's not even Oh, if only we would catch 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: these people, they're turning themselves in in huge numbers and 21 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: saying I want asylum. None of them are going to 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: get asylum, but they're pretending like that this is the 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: whole scam. Then they get let into the country, they stay, 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: they don't get no one gets deported. Basically under Biden, 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: I thought there should be a bigger issue in the midterms. 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Why don't people care more about this? Do they care 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: more about this? What do you think? Oh, it's a 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: huge vote getter. It's a problem though, getting Republican politicians 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: to talk about immigration, because, as you've heard me banging 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: on about for years, the donors want the cheap labor, 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: they want open borders the same way the left does, 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: and they got politicians years. I mean, that's what was 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: so great about Trump's two thousand and sixteen campaign. Once 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: the campaign was over and he won the election, everything 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: he was ever going to accomplish had been accomplished. And 36 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: that was just showing politicians. I don't care if the 37 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat the country ordinary voters, not the ones 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: who have billion dollars lobbyists in washings and are desperate 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: for there to be a wall on the border, for 40 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: illegal aliens to be deported, for there to be fewer 41 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: legal immigrants coming in. I mean, year after year after year, 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,559 Speaker 1: Americans are pulled on this, do you want more immigration? 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: The same less immigration? They keep saying less, and the 44 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: politicians keep giving us more. So yeah, of course it's 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: a huge issue. The other reason doesn't really come up 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: much in the mid Germs was that the man who's 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: accomplished everything he was going to accomplish as of election 48 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: night two thousand sixteen, demanded that all these Republican candidates 49 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: um makes make the stolen two thousand and twenty election 50 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: there their number one issue. Now, I mean, clearly the 51 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: mid terms were crushed by Donald Trump. And oh, speaking 52 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: of which, I wanted my bet with m clay Traffts 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: please remind them of that. Well, what was the bet? 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: I forget? Which was this a new phone? Who's this? 55 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even sure what is the what 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: the herschel bet? Is this the he was herschel Walker? Yeah, 57 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: it was herschel Walker. I owe you, I owe you 58 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 1: a steak. I told Buck as we finished the first hour, 59 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I think I lost a big bet, 60 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: and but maybe she won't remember, and can I can 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: I ask you? You know, I put out a pole. 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I was just curious. I put out a poll on 63 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Twitter and it got like sixty thousand votes, which it's 64 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: not scientific, but a lot of people weighed in. Um, 65 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and it was about responsibility for what happened specifically in Georgia, 66 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: and I put herschel Walker, Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, or 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: just write in basically there a lot of people wrote 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: in with different responsible for the loss? What's the question? Responsible? Yeah? Responsive? Yeah, 69 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: responsive for the loss in Georgia. What how much does 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: leadership really matter? I mean, we had Kevin McCarthy on 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: the show yesterday. I get more angry emails about Mitch 72 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: McConnell probably than anyone else in American Like more than 73 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, Nancy Pelosi or you name it is that 74 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: the problem? Does it make a big difference? How do 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: you see all that? Well? Coincidentally I wrote about in 76 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: my column this week. It went up yesterday morning. Um No, 77 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: there's no question Trump is one responsible for herschel Walker. 78 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like it was Herschel's lifelong dreams 79 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: to run for Senate in March twenty twenty one. It 80 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: was Trump who put out a statement. Um, oh, Herschel 81 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: would be the best. He should run for the Senate. 82 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: He'll take that. He'll be unstoppable, just as he was 83 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: on the football field for my US football league. Run 84 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: Herschel run um And why why did he think? Why 85 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: did Trump think that Herschel Walker would be a fans 86 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: has to candidate everyone knowing he has you know, a 87 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: string of illegitimate children throughout this stuff. Well, he's a 88 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: fine guy. I did everything I could, by the way, 89 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: to lose that, bet Clay Travis, I was. I was 90 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: promoting Herschel. Obviously he's better than any Democrat. But why 91 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: are you putting up problematic candidates? Oh? Yeah, because he 92 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: was on Celebrity Apprentice and played for Trump's defunct football league. 93 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: That's how Trump picks candidates. Incoming bombs on this one, 94 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir, No, Look, I mean I worked hard, 95 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: and we'll have to. I will take you out to dinner. 96 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: Buck will probably be involved too, because I definitely lost. 97 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: I worked as hard as I could for Herschel to win, 98 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: same thing as you did. Anne. I wanted him to 99 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: win desperately. I was pretty crushed. I'm not gonna lie 100 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: that we lost Georgia, that we lost Nevada, that we 101 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: lost Arizona, that many of those candidates did. I think 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: the fact that erman one is maybe the biggest indictment 103 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: of the American electorate that I have seen in some time, 104 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: and also a further endorsement of the fact that if 105 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: you have a D beside your name, unlike Republicans, Democrats 106 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: just show up and vote party line. Because a lot 107 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: of Republicans split their ticket, you know. Uh, Brian Kemp 108 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: won by seven and a half points over Stacy Abrahams, 109 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: who was a well funded candidate, every other Republican one 110 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia other than Herschel. But Republicans 111 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: they lost because they switched their vote. So Buck made 112 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: a good point. Uh, And I gave you credit for 113 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: this affagree with everything you just say, Okay, okay, you 114 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: would disagree with everything, all right, But but I made 115 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: a good point. Disagree all right, you had disagreed with 116 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: everything I just said. Tell you why you disagree with 117 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: I mean, clearly it was the candidate your own facts 118 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: say that, yeah Kemp one, um um sorry. Governor of Georgia, 119 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp, whom and the Secretary of State Brad Rassenburger 120 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: whatever you say his name. Who are the two Republicans 121 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: Trump hates more than any other in the entire nation. 122 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: He spent money primarying the Republican governor of Georgia, and 123 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: the Republican governor of Georgia won that primary by fifty points. Yes, 124 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: the voters are trying to tell us we are done 125 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: with Trump saying. Yes, I'm saying, is Republican voters one 126 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent Trump again? Because he was, he was encouraged. 127 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: It was one of it was Massiano, the guy running 128 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: for governor. He was a nut. His number one issue 129 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: was as recommended as he insisted in pressured Republicans to 130 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: say the stolen election. Master Rihanna was at that capital 131 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: on January sixth. He wanted to try women for murder 132 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: for having abortions. You're gonna run candidates like that. No 133 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Oz could have won that. Master Riano dragged him. Then, Okay, 134 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: so we agree on some of that. I guess what 135 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying is it's Republicans in many of these states 136 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: splitting their tickets that actually cost Republican candidates, right because 137 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: it's Trump. It's okay. So, but your your analysis is 138 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: that Trump is causing that to happen. So what I 139 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: was going to build out here is in Georgia. One, Yeah, 140 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: they're not getting I think their tickets for governors or 141 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: attorney general, secretary of state. But if you're going to 142 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: keep pushing the ideas of this narcissistic moron infants, yeah, 143 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: we're that. Republicans are going to keep saying, please, just 144 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: send us a normal Republican, please please. And by the way, 145 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I was shocked at how well, despite my bet with you, 146 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: I was rooting like mad for Herschel Walker um And. 147 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: I thought the Republican voters, you know, God bless them, 148 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: they kept Trump away this time. Um And and Kemp, 149 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: the popular governor of Georgia, campaigned for Herschel. I thought 150 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: it was going to be forty five fifty five. It 151 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: was really close. So I don't think you can blame 152 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Republican voters in Georgia. They came out and voted for 153 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: the Republican even though it was not he was an 154 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: imperfect candidate. Let's put that, okay. So what I was 155 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna say, by the way, just bombs in every direction. 156 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we got to call this segment 157 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: within bombs away or get into the which I respect 158 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: throwing bombs here. Buck had a thesis. I think he 159 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: gave you credit for it, Um that the reason why 160 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: the politically correct era in the nineties ended was because 161 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: OJ was found not guilty. We I did give her 162 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: credit because we sent her the cliff. Yes, that's right. Um, 163 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: So how do we break the woke virus in the 164 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: United States? One of the reasons why I was so 165 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: crushed by both twenty twenties outcome and twenty twenty two 166 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: and is it felt like a perfect time to destroy 167 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party for their woke virus, and yet they 168 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: continue to win and the woke virus gets crazier and 169 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: crazy year. How does it end? How do we lance 170 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: this boil? How do we rid the body politic of 171 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: this absurd woke of virus. Yeah, it's funny. I've been 172 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: thinking the exact same thing. That is the thesis of 173 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: my book. Mug Um and I go through just ramped 174 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: its crime, much like we're going through right now. Um. 175 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: In seventies eighties, we come upon the nineties, and if 176 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: you were alive during the OJ verdict, you will remember this. 177 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: There was there was a moment when when OJ was 178 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: found not guilty and Black Americans throughout America Howard University. Um, 179 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: you know fast food places have historically black colleges across 180 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the country cheered, cheered, everyone's seen the trial or anotherment. 181 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: To know that that OJ was in fact guilty, um 182 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: cut off, cut off his ex wife's head and killed 183 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: her on goldment and to see black people cheering the 184 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: equivalent of I mean, I think OJ's hilarious on Twitter. 185 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if you follow him on top I 186 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: cut you in here, but you know that there are 187 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: tons of twenty something girls sleeping with OJ now in 188 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I have friends out there. He goes out 189 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: all the time and girls just throw themselves at him, 190 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: many of whom were born after the double murder. Well, 191 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: other than the double murder. It's a pretty cool cat. 192 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: He is pretty entertaining on Twitter, and that woke up. 193 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: It used to be exactly the way it is now. 194 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: That woken's the way it is now. Um, you know 195 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: you constantly have these blowhards and dwell. I think the 196 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: problem in America is the systemic racism. That phrase didn't 197 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: exist yet, but oh it's white racism. And and that's 198 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: when it was the greatest thing that ever happened to 199 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: Black Americans because it was just like as I say 200 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: in the book, it was like a subway card that 201 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: didn't work anymore, pulling this racism. Yes, and I've been 202 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: wondering what what what is it going to be? Is 203 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: it gonna be? Maybe this Brittany Griner drave today. But 204 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: if you want to stop losing, because it really did suck, 205 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: this should have been a red wave your this should 206 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: have been a red tsunami. Way, you have to start 207 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: telling the truth to your listeners that Trump is a big, 208 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: fat loser. He lost fourty seats in the House for 209 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: US in two thousand and eight, he lost the election 210 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: his own election in twenty twenty when there was a 211 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: red wave across the country. Well, and I still have 212 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: we have a stake back because I think Trump is 213 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: still going to be the nominee. So I think so, 214 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: I guess the question is truth to your listener. Look, 215 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're going to have a big Trump. 216 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a big battle in twenty twenty three, 217 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be between the Santa 218 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Saint tru battle. Trump is so dumb, but you are 219 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: ginning up these these few and far between dead enders. 220 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: Did you see anybody Trump versus De Santis an they're 221 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: you're telling them they're part of a large group. No 222 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: they're not, They're not, They're they're slightly bigger than God. Well, 223 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: well this, well this very large group is actually going 224 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: to be sending us emails for the next two days 225 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: about how you know that that I will I will 226 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: say this. Let me just say this. I think that 227 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: Buck and I are going to provide a form and 228 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: this is important for a real debate about what the 229 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party should be. And it's going 230 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: to be like everybody gloves off, throwing punches. And what 231 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: I respect about Anne is she doesn't tiptoe up. She's 232 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: not pretending to tell you what exactly she thinks. And 233 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: I think this is the real conversation. This is why 234 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: like people who think when De Santis and Trump, if 235 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: it happens, get into a ring, that it's going to 236 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: be a really nice, well organized boxing man, you're gonna 237 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: roll off there and they are going to try to 238 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: gouge each other's eyes out, and you have to everybody 239 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: out there listening has to get ready for that. It 240 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: ain't gonna be a genteel affair. And to be fair, 241 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: Miss Coulter, we call a lot more balls and strikes 242 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: here on the Trumpster than a lot of the other 243 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: folks in the radio world. I will tell you congratulations 244 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: saying it's it is true that we actually are willing 245 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: to say I about So, how does this play out? Then, Anne? 246 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: In your mind? You don't Buck and I have bet? 247 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: I think we both have steak bets on this. I've 248 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: already lost a steak bet to the extent that I 249 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: have because I said Herschel was gonna win. I really 250 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: thought he was. Um, how does this play out in 251 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: twenty three? In your mind? Um? I think there are 252 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: so few people who are still supporting Trump though they 253 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: turn tune into Fox News and your radio show and 254 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: think they're part of some large group. No, it's pathetic 255 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: deadheads following them around. We look at the pictures from 256 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: his presidential announcement and draft. Look, I'm sure they I 257 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: feel about them the way I feel about Jimmy Swagger followers. 258 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: Probably the followers were lovely people, but I have about 259 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: ten more minutes of patience with them. They have got 260 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: to wake up. Oh no, we got we got to 261 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: bring along all the all the the Trump voters are 262 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: our family, and we got to all mobilize together here. 263 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: But and we actually are at time.

I don't know anyone 268 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: who supported him in two thousand and fifteen. We still 269 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: support them now. No, these are all the Johnny come lately. 270 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: We supported him for the issues and he betrayed us.

They're putting all of the information out there. 285 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: They're buying airline tickets, putting their credit card out there 286 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: and hoping that the data doesn't get stolen. But there 287 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: are cyber hackers online who plant malware and work harder 288 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: than ever to create a data breach.

Every person 319 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: that I know who cares about politics right now, Clain 320 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: I are talking about this, texting each other updates who's saying, what, 321 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 1: how are things going? Who is going to lead this 322 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: party going forward? And I'm gonna say this, anyone who 323 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: thinks that they know for sure, as in they can 324 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: predict the future of who, I think is mistaken. I 325 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: think it's very possible it's Trump. I think it's very possible. 326 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: As to Santists, I think it's also you know, it's 327 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: a crazy world we live in, and we're not going 328 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: to know for at least another six months or so 329 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: who the Republican nominee is even likely to be based 330 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: on actual polling that's going on, and you know, six 331 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: months give or take. I'm just pulling it out of 332 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 1: thin air. But so we wanted to bring it on 333 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: here and allow somebody who keep in mind, and for 334 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: people who are saying, because I know we're going at 335 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: these emails, I'll say, hey, you guys have a duty 336 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: and obligation in the house that Rush built, and I 337 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: always say, yeah, we absolutely do. And that's to have 338 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: a conversation that brings in people within the party. First 339 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: of all, Anne and Rush were very close friends. I 340 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,719 Speaker 1: don't know, I think some folks know that or they 341 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: were close friends for many years and Anne obviously wrote 342 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: a book in Trump We Trust and was one of 343 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: his earliest supporters, earliest supporters, and then turned on him 344 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: as a result of what he did in office. Now 345 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: I could have sit here, it's hard in radio. I 346 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: don't want to sit here and argue he was right 347 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: though on China and China trade, Polot like, you can't 348 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: just leave all that he was right. I don't even 349 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: want to get into all the things you'd say, because 350 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: if we had another voice you people would say, what 351 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: about the booming economy the Trump had? What about the 352 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: deregulation the Trump had? What about the US Mexico Canada 353 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: trade agreement? What about dealing with China? What about no 354 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: new war? What about the best border control we've seen 355 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: in two decades. That has to be a part of 356 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: the conversation. But there are people who have substantial followings 357 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: right now in the world of conservatism, Clay, who are 358 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: having this discussion as to who should be the leader 359 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: of the party, and we, I think have to have 360 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: a forum for people within that family on the right 361 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: to discuss what the direction, what the future is. If 362 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: we only serve one side of that discussion, we're not 363 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: saying we're taking sides here. If we only serve one 364 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: side of that discussion, I think we do a disservice. 365 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: I think this show is a big public forum for 366 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: people who are conservative, for people who are libertarian, for 367 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: people who frankly may be left a leaning in the 368 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: past but have come over because of the authoritarianism that 369 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: they have seen in the wake of COVID and also 370 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: what happened to Brett Kavanaugh on all those things. And 371 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: I think if we pretend that this is not going 372 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: to be as I said when Anne was on, this 373 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: is going to be a nasty eye gouging, rolling around 374 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: in the mud battle over who is the nominee in 375 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. This is not going to be some 376 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: situation where Trump clears the field like it was in 377 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and you and me and Buck and everybody 378 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: out there said, hey, we're all in for Trump. I 379 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: think there canna be a lot of divisions. And I 380 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: want to throw this in there too. Would Trump have 381 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: even been Trump without having to go through that primary 382 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: and defeat people that by the way, we have on 383 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: the show, and we think are you know, Ted cru 384 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: is a fantastic senator and a really good American and 385 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: you and I both like him. You know, Marco Rubio 386 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: is doing a really good job in Florida. Trump had 387 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: to beat those individuals. He got a little nasty sometimes, 388 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: but by the time Trump made his way through that primary, 389 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: he was a well oiled machine going up against Hillary Clinton. 390 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: So it's likely there's going to be some kind of 391 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: a primary here. We want to hear from folks on 392 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: this one, and we want to hear voices that aren't 393 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: just going with whatever last they voices bring on guests, 394 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: They aren't just going with whatever they think the consensus 395 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: is at any one point in time, you agree or 396 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: disagree with Dan buck with Anne, and she's super smart. 397 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: She's super smart, and she represents a segment of the 398 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: Republican base. I'm gonna tell you there are a lot 399 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: of Yeah, there are a lot of people that want 400 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: it to be desantists. I'm just gonna tell everybody out 401 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: there right now, but they're scared of upsetting the Trump 402 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: supporters that are their friends that they love, that's out there, 403 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: that's out there, and you see this percent accurate. And 404 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: by the way, you're I think your point about being 405 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: out to dinner, you were with twenty people last night 406 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: in Florida, and you've been basically did a straw pole. 407 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: I'm having the same kind of straw poles all the 408 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: time when I'm out to dinner. Number one question that 409 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: people in media and I think Republicans are talking about privately, 410 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: is your team Trump or you team de Santis. Now, look, 411 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: DeSantis hasn't even answered announced yet, and he may not. 412 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: He may decide that he's not gonna do it. I 413 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: think he's gonna run. I think you think Buck he's 414 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: gonna run. But until he's officially in the battle, that's 415 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: not indefinite. But all of you out there listening right 416 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: now may well have to make this decision. So we 417 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: have got loaded lines. Yeah, we're wrapped and stacked here. Yes. Uh, 418 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: And let's see who's up first. Let's go to hold on. 419 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up the other North Carolina starts it off. Yeah, 420 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: let's see what Bill? I sick. Go for it, Bill? Hey, guys, 421 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,239 Speaker 1: how are you doing that? Good? Hey? I just you know, 422 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: listening to Anne Coulter, having been a fan for a 423 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: very long time, going back to her first books about 424 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: the Clinton administration, I think Anne needs to do a 425 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: little soul searching on who she has aligned herself with 426 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: on the never Trump side. For the record, I was 427 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: a cruise guy in sixteen broke my heart when when 428 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: he didn't get the nod. But Buck, you just you 429 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: just pretty eloquently laid out Trump's accomplishments. I think conservatives 430 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: have for a very very long time wanted someone Reagan 431 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: esque type who was the counterpuncher. Trump was the Rockefeller 432 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: wing of the Republicans. Gave us forty years in the wilderness, 433 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: and Trump was completely unafraid of opposition, of the media, 434 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: of anything and everything that was thrown at him. So 435 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: if Anne is comfortable aligning herself with the Lincoln Project, 436 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: the National Review, that can say something because you're eloquent. Yeah, 437 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: you're you're eloquent on this issue, and we appreciate you, 438 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: you know, weighing in on what everything you've said. I 439 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: just to be clear, there are people that became so 440 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: anti Trump that they abandoned the right. Anne is not 441 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: one of those people. She's just anti Trump. She doesn't 442 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: she doesn't go on CNN and do the whole Oh, 443 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: everybody should go vote for Raphael Warnock or whatever. We've 444 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: seen a lot of never Trump. Ye. Just now, I'm 445 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: not saying you're necessarily saying that, but I'm saying there 446 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: are some people on the right who haven't sold out 447 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: their principles. They just don't think Trump is the future. 448 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: But um, I think look on the counterpuncher point, your 449 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: Trump had that in a way that we've we haven't 450 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: seen anybody on the Republican side really in my lifetime. 451 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Trump is fearless and that is what attracts you and 452 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: me and many people to him. That doesn't mean that 453 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: Trump is infallible or that he deserves to not have 454 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: to win the twenty twenty four And I think Buck, 455 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: you made a good point. Trump wouldn't have been Trump 456 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: if he didn't go through the eighteen or nineteen contenders 457 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen and effectively fillt them. He earneditional state. 458 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: He earned it, right, that's the point. He earned it 459 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: in a way. You know, he was boxing and he 460 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: had to beat the stepping stones or whatever to get 461 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: to the actual title fight. Tom Brady doesn't get to 462 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl every year, even though he's 463 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time, he still has to 464 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: go through all the contenders every year to get to 465 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and we know that the lines. And 466 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: by the way, if you want to send us an 467 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: email right away, we're reading those emails.

David in South Carolina, David, 471 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? Hey, guys, Yeah, I'm 472 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: just I'm tired of hearing about these people. Immediately they're 473 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: gonna blame Trump, and I blame the Republican establishments, especially 474 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: Mitch mcconnal. There's no leadership in the Senate and you're 475 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: talking about blaming him for twenty Sorry to cut you off, David, 476 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about blaming them for twenty twenty two results. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 477 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: I mean these guys should have been there's no leadership 478 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: in the Senate. They should have been there in Georgia. 479 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: They should have had all these guys they're pushing. They 480 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: were laid on everything. The financing was going in the 481 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: wrong play. He's pulling financing on these things. And if 482 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: he would have won, he would have given himself credit 483 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: to leadership. The redistricting killed us. I don't think they 484 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: fought hard enough. The establishment, the governors in these states 485 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: that killed us. We had so many house races that 486 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: were close that we lost and we still got seeds. 487 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: So we did all right. But that come at Trump. 488 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: It's the same thing Mitch McConnell opposed. You know, legan 489 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: back in the Tea Party there established me. You know 490 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal editorial page, Tonans.

Welcome back in Clay 551 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you listening to 552 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: us as we power through the Thursday edition of the program. 553 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: And we are joined now by media giant. I'd like 554 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: to be referred to that one day radio industry veteran 555 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Smalleyan. He has done an amazing job as the 556 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: CEO of MS Communications. He's got a brand new book, 557 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Never Ride a Roller Coaster, Upside Down, the ups downs 558 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: and reinvention of an Entrepreneur. And I love this, Jeff, 559 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: and thank you for coming on with us. You say 560 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: there's a fine line between a genius and an idiot. 561 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: Some people would say we walk that line, sometimes straying 562 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: in both directions on this radio program every day. What 563 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: have you found in business about that fine line? Well, 564 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: I've said you know that there is a fine line, 565 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: and I've been on many side, many times, both sides. 566 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: In the book, I have a chapter Idiot to Genius, 567 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: which is a start of wfa N, which is the 568 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: first all sports radio station. And all of our guys 569 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: said it was the single stupidest idea of all time. 570 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: Jim Lampley called it the Vietnam War of mmas and 571 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: it was kind of a disaster. And since it was 572 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: my baby, I got needled about it. They called it 573 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: Smollion's folly. And then one day it turned around. We 574 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: put down iMOS on the air, we had Roussou and Francessa, 575 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: and the next day it was a national success. And 576 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: I went from idiot to genius. And then after that 577 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: we bought the Seattle Mariners, and I was kind of 578 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: the boy wonder out there and I was signing autographs 579 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: and doing all sorts of interviews and everybody loved the 580 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: marketing and the new look of the team. And I 581 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: was a genius. And then when it didn't work, I 582 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: became an idiot. And I always said, there's nothing worse 583 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: than being an idiot in front of forty thousand people 584 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: every night. So that's what's ahead, Go ahead, jo Jeff 585 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: no I just said, that's what I've learned about life. 586 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: That's why it's a roller coaster. Sometimes you win, sometimes 587 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: you lose. You just kept to, you know, grit your 588 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: teeth and smile through all of it. If someone's coming 589 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: up to you and they say, you know, I think 590 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: I want to either start a business or take a 591 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: big risk, you know, an expansion, so some form of 592 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: entrepreneurial shift or elevation. If someone's like, I want to 593 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: do this, ya, how do you advise them? Because I 594 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: know we've got a lot of people listening who maybe 595 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: already have a business or thinking about starting a business, 596 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: and they might sit back and say, oh, I don't know, 597 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: should I really do this? What do you say when 598 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: people come up to you with somebody who would have 599 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: tried things and had big successes but also taken big risks. Well, 600 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: And that's why I wrote the book. I think, listen. 601 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: I think if you believe in something and you love it, 602 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: and you're willing to put it all on the line 603 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: and have that kind of passion, I think you can 604 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: be successful. You aren't always successful, but I think you know, 605 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: if you if you want to do something you care 606 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: passionately enough about it, you gotta do it. You started 607 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: sports talk radio, and people out there listening know that 608 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: I came from the sports talker radio universe. You also 609 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: owned the Seattle Mariners. At one point, I'm curious, Buck 610 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: and I were just talking. This De Santis versus Trump 611 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: battle reminds me of Alabama versus Auburn. It reminds me 612 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: of Ohio State versus Michigan conversations that can take place 613 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: depending on those marketplaces every single day. Yankees Red Sox 614 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: is another good one where that rivalry is so passionate 615 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: it fuels the conversation all the time. What did you 616 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: find about sports talk radio? And a lot of people 617 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: dream about it, But what was it like owning a 618 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: pro sports franchise? Well, I'm one of my favorite lines 619 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: with somebody once said every man in America wants owned 620 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: a major League baseball team, except the twenty eight guys 621 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: who do. But I loved it. We made a lot 622 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: of friends. I was proud of the work we did 623 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: in Seattle. I always said we weren't rich enough to 624 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: own the Mariners. I joked and said, you really had 625 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: to be a billionaire gown the Mariners or the Kansas 626 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: City Royals, but if you had a good paper route, 627 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: you could own the Yankees of the Dodgers. You know, 628 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: it was just the economics were widely different in those days. 629 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: But I loved it. I'm really proud of some of 630 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: the things. Stuff of the stuff we invented in the ballpark, 631 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: situational music, movie clips and contests and games you see 632 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: everywhere now, but it was absolutely revolutionary. Then we're speaking 633 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: to Jeff Smally and he's the founder and CEO of 634 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: MS Communications. His book is Never Ride a Roller Coaster 635 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: upside Down. Good advice by the way, the ups downs 636 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: and reinvention of an entrepreneur. Jeff, what are you? What 637 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: are the trends that you see right now in media? 638 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking to you right now on radio 639 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: stations across America. But we also have websiteclanbock dot com. 640 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: We've got podcast going, We've got streaming video. You know, 641 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: Clay built a sports digital sports business at OutKick. We 642 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: both do hits on TV at Fox. And you know, 643 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: what do you see as the trajector right now? I mean, 644 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: streaming is a big part of the conversation. Subscription service 645 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: is a big part of the conversation, where do you 646 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: see it all going? Well, it's all fragmented so much, 647 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, the biggest challenge of streaming 648 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: is can you find enough subscribers? Can you find an 649 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: economic model. It's easier with talk than it is with 650 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: music because you have giant music royalties, which is why 651 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Spotify went into podcasting, you know, so they didn't have 652 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: to pay the royalties. It is. It's a fragmented world 653 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: if you if you follow the streaming services and video. 654 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: There's a big question as to whether the regional sports 655 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: networks can survive because so many people have cut the chords. 656 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: We have, you know, three hundred forty million people and 657 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: everybody's got you know, fragmented places they go and it's 658 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: hard to know how it'll shake out, only that it's 659 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: totally different and you have to sort of be flexible 660 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: enough to adapt. I think you guys have done a 661 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: brilliant job, you know, putting your content in a lot 662 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: of different places. It may work in some places, it 663 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: may not be profitable in others. But I think we're 664 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: in an era where you just have to experiment with 665 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. We get the question a 666 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: lot Jeff, and I appreciate you coming on in the 667 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: book sounds really fascinating. If you were talking to a 668 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: young person today and Buck said, you know you're interested 669 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: in entrepreneurship or but if you are interested in moving 670 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: into media, what would you tell them is the most 671 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: important thing they should be learning in order to train 672 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: themselves going forward. Well, again, I think there's two things. 673 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 1: I think number one, the most important thing is your 674 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: word when you work with somebody, If you if they 675 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: know your word is good and they trust you, that 676 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: that helps you an awful lot in any enterprise. I 677 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: don't care whether it's you know, starting a job, or 678 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: being married, or having kids or having friends. I also 679 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: think again, you have to have the passion I tell 680 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: people starting out, when you get a new job, volunteer 681 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: for more stuff. People can count on you. And the 682 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: more you know, you know you are willing to go 683 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: out and do things, the more you move up you 684 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: know the food chain. No doubt, the book is fabulous. 685 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: We need to have you on maybe somewhere down the line. Again, 686 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: we appreciate all the support you've shown for this show, 687 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: and we would encourage everybody out there to go make 688 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: sure that they check it out the book again, Never 689 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: ride a rollercoaster upside down, the ups downs and reinvention 690 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: of an entrepreneur on the way out. I'll let you 691 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: say this, you obviously have an incredible, uplifting sort of 692 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: mindset about you. How much of your success do you 693 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: think is internal based on the energy that you put 694 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: out into the world for everybody out there in terms 695 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: of their own lives. Well, I think it's internal because 696 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,439 Speaker 1: I think you have to have a sparkle though I've said, 697 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: somebody said, what's it take to be an entrepreneur? I said, Look, 698 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: we're all the entrepreneurs of our own lives. You know that, 699 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: we really are. I think part of its internal. Part 700 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: of it is I've been fortunate to work with people 701 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: my whole career who I just love and who make 702 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: me look smarter than I am every day, and that 703 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: helps a lot, no doubt.

I have the equivalent 739 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: in my mind, at least of a PhD. In action movies. 740 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: I grew up. I had VHS tapes that I watched 741 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: until they were falling. Apart of all the Schwarzenegger movies, 742 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: all the all the the Stallone movies, I was more 743 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: of a Schwarzeneger guy. I'm gonna be honest, um, but 744 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, Young Guns with him, I find Emilio Estevez 745 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: one of the finest movies of the eighties. His finest 746 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: a very underrated western for what it is, also really 747 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: good both of those. Yes, Young Guns was an excellent franchise. 748 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: I think there was there a third one I remember now, 749 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: but remember if there was a third. But also all 750 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: the all the various martial arts action movies. You know 751 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: Van Dam. I celebrated Van Dam's whole catalog, and he's 752 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: a very interesting character, as we see later on in life. 753 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: I bring all of this up because Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer 754 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: Lawrence has come out to say that she was the first, 755 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: and you know, like, isn't she from Is she from Nashville? 756 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: What's with all these novel I believe, Oh Louisville. Okay, 757 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: I thought she's a Kentuckian. Yeah, so he's a talk 758 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: so close close by, So you know, you have to 759 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: take you and your folks here in that region, have 760 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: to take responsibility, all responsibility for sec state. She manigans. 761 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Yeah, you know, because she's lovely, 762 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: but her politics not so good. She spoke out in 763 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: an interview in Variety and she said that she will 764 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: nobody ever put this is the quote, nobody ever put 765 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: a woman in the lead of an action movie because 766 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: it wouldn't work, because we were told girls and boys 767 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: can both identify with the male lead, but boys cannot 768 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: identify with a female lead. I'm sorry, but Ripley from 769 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: Alien and Aliens would like to have a word among 770 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: other female action. I'm sorry Linda Hamilton and Terminating one. 771 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: In Terminator two. You know, if you're gonna mouth off 772 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: and try to get social justice points or whatever wokeness points, 773 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: don't don't make it so easy for us, you know 774 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: what I mean. Come on, it's also disappointing. I would 775 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: say only in the context of if you are a 776 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: movie buff, to say nothing of a movie star, you 777 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: would think you would have seen Aliens in Terminator because 778 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: they're two of the most iconic films of that of 779 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: the set. I think Aliens is one of the one 780 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: of the ten best action movies of that of that period. Honestly, 781 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: I think Aliens Aliens come out like eighty one. Oh 782 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: and no Alien came out I think idiot. I think 783 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: Aliens was later like eighty five or eighty six. But 784 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: the team can check for us. But yeah, Sigourny Weaver 785 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: was phenomenal nineteen I was thinking even maybe late seventies. 786 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: But both of those are nineteen eighties or late seventies 787 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: iconic films right um, And to not be familiar with 788 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 1: those is embarrassing for Jennifer Lawrence, who seems totally normal 789 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: and also simultaneously, Oh, Alien didn't come out until nineteen 790 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: eighty six, Okay, so that was like later than I thought. 791 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a I'm not a Quentin Tarantino fan. 792 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: For example, like I don't like most of the Yes 793 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: until Kill Bill, I think is actually his most watchable 794 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: movie for what it is, and h and Kill Bill. 795 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: Uma Thurman is excellent. That Laura Croft Laura as in 796 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: Missus Travis Laura Croft, the tomb Raider movies. I mean, 797 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: there's so many, it's just but this thing even she's 798 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: made clay, She's made tens of millions of dollars and 799 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, she's won she won the Genetics Lottery. She's 800 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: quite lovely and you know, physically, and she's got a 801 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: whine and complaint and make it seem like women have 802 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: it so hard in films. Really, that's where we're going. 803 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: Now give me a break, let me clarify this, because 804 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna get blown up. Alien came out in nineteen 805 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: seventy nine. Aliens came out in nineteen eighty six, which 806 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: I believe was the sequel, right, so so Ripley nineteen 807 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,240 Speaker 1: eighty nine the original Alien, and I think also Aliens 808 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: one of the best sequels of all time up there 809 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 1: with Terminator two, the Godfather to Aliens is an enhancement 810 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: to the franchise. Unfortunately it went substantially downhill from there. 811 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to think about all the different women 812 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: action leads. They've actually been so many of them. It's 813 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: a willful ignorance. And also, I would say this, I 814 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: don't know who did the interview and who did the story, 815 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: but this is also an example of just totally if 816 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: you're writing about movies. When she said that as the interviewer, 817 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: there should have been some pushback, and there should have 818 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: been like, well, you know, Sigourney Weaver, pretty big deal, 819 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: and and you're kind of stepping on Linda Hamilton and 820 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: what she did an Terminator. Those are big female led 821 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 1: action movies. I mean, for some some folks may even 822 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: remember from the Conan the Barbarian era Red Sonja, which 823 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: I think was a B movie, but she's swinging a 824 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: sword around and stuff. Hey, I was a big he 825 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: man guy. They did bring out Shira to try to 826 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: appeal to all and they made a movie about it too. 827 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: I think wasn't there was it the Bionic Man or 828 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: the Bionic Woman? Or was there both. I think they 829 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: did both. I think they did both too. So this 830 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: this is dat. It's ridiculous. But ever, you Clay, it's 831 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: not enough to be rich and famous. You have to 832 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: also be beloved for your political stances these days, which 833 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 1: is just a shame. Do your kids, by the way, 834 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 1: the boys do they like the Hunger Games? Is that 835 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: a thing still? The people read we haven't watched any 836 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: of the Hunger Games. I think those are to be 837 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: fair like kind of r rated, aren't they. I mean 838 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: they're pretty I think so. I'm having The Hunger Games 839 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: right now. I'm pretty hungry. I'm gonna get a sandwich. 840 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: That's not a bad move. And it's pretty good movie. 841 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: By the way, The Hunger Games. That disappointing because I 842 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 1: like Jennifer Lawrence in that film.
