1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Friday edition of

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: the program.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: We appreciate all of you.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: The Republican National Convention officially complete, absolute home run for

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: the RNC, for the Republican Party, for Donald Trump, well organized, unifying,

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: and now all of the focus moves back to Buck

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Island and Joe Biden and the disunity that is on

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: the side of the Democrat Party. But I thought last night,

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: particularly in the first thirty or forty five minutes of

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: what I found to be a captivating beginning of his speech.

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: To be fair, I thought he could have cut off

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: Donald Trump a half hour of the speech and it

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: would have been as effective or even potentially more effective.

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: But I thought the first thirty or forty five minutes,

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: which is when vast majority of people on the East

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Coast are awake and paying attention, I thought it was

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: an absolute home run for Donald Trump. And as we

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: sit here now on the Friday after the RNC, it

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: feels like Republicans have solidified their lead and now Democrats

20
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: are in scramble mode to figure out what they're going

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: to be capable of.

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: Buck.

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, and maybe it's just our

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: age but Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt at the RNC,

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: to me, was one of the most incredibly iconic moments,

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: and I thought it personified for me what has become

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: true in this election cycle, which I think many of

28
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: you feel but hadn't quite crystallized until now. Trump has

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: become the cooler, younger, hipper candidate than anything the Democrats

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: are offering right now. And I thought some of I

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: understand some of you are now Kid Rock fans, and

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe some of you didn't like Dana White, and maybe

33
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: you didn't like Hulk Hogan, but I'm telling you, if

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: you're in your twenties or thirties, you probably did. And

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember a situation like this where Republicans have

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: come out this unified in the twenty first century. How

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: did you take sort of the whole four days? Now,

38
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: as we can textualize and contemplate what happened here in Milwaukee.

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: I don't think the RNC could have gone any better

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: on a political front. On the logistics side of things,

41
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: I think they did a phenomenal job. I think that

42
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: it was much more meaningful and honestly emotional than any

43
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: of us had anticipated because of what had happened to

44
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: President Trump. When you looked around last night, in the

45
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: first the first twenty or thirty minutes of the speech

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: was truly moving, not somebody who feels a lot of

47
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: stirring emotions because of political speeches. And I was watching

48
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: it and just saying to myself, oh my gosh, it's

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: a reminder of what could have been. And you looked

50
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: around that crowd play and people were tearing up just

51
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: as Trump was describing what happened, and I just think

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: that there was I'll tell you this, so many of

53
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: our people and one of the night one of the

54
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: nicest things for us is that we get to see

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: so many of our listeners, which is great. I mean,

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: it's only a small fraction of the overall listeners. Were

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: very blessed. But to just see our people and have

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: them want to talk to us and say they appreciate

59
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: the show and say that Rush would be proud, and

60
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: that always makes us feel really good. We had so

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: many of those people, so many of you saying that

62
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: to us who were there, but also going around and

63
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: seeing our media colleagues play. Everybody had this sense of

64
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: gratitude and destiny. That's what I would say, gratitude for

65
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: the miracle of Donald Trump being Okay, I feel like

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: every day at that RNC you just had to think

67
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: to yourself, what would have happened, what could have what

68
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: almost did happen? And then the fact that it was

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: a true celebration. There was a lot of gratitude, a

70
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: lot of gratitude for that, and then the sense of

71
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: destiny just that this is now a United Republican party

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: and a party that is already seeming to be looking

73
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: to the future for what can be accomplished, much more

74
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: so than it is bogged down in the trench warfare

75
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: of the election, so to speak. And so anyway, I

76
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: thought it was I thought it was really really special,

77
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: and I was very glad that we were there and

78
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: able to see everybody. And I just think that Trump's

79
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 3: speech last night it went beyond political clad, do you

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It wasn't just a stump speech.

81
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: It was a gut check moment for the country. And

82
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: it was stirring to the soul to hear Donald Trump

83
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: speak about what he faced and the perspective that he

84
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: has now on life and on his mission. So honestly,

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: I thought it was magnificent. I thought it was incredibly powerful.

86
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: And also Buck Island is alive and well today, so

87
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: everything is good, everybody, Everything is good right now?

88
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: You know Biden's team.

89
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: Do you want to say it, Clay? Do you want

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: to say it everyone? Yesterday?

91
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: Oh Buck, Clay's gonna get the most expensive stake ever

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: because Biden's gone.

93
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: How could you doubt me at this point? Guys, they've

94
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: dragged it out to this point.

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: Think about this.

96
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: There's so much madness just in this basic idea that

97
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: Biden could even be in the mix on July nineteenth

98
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four. What do you think, Clay? Huh?

99
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I still think he's gone. And by the way, the

100
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: gambling odds are at roughly eighty percent. They got up

101
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: to ninety percent last night. But it's a mess. And

102
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: this was my concern, was that Republicans, by having the convention,

103
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: were going to take the story back away from Joe

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Biden and Democrat incompetence and the lack of unity inside

105
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: of that party. As we are sitting here on Friday,

106
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: headed into the weekend, Republicans have never been more unified.

107
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Even Republicans who said I'll never vote for Donald Trump

108
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: as recently, like Utah's governor, as like ten days ago,

109
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: are now coming out and saying, you know what a

110
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: bond reflection. I am going to vote for Trump. There's

111
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: more unity than we've ever seen. And the story immediately

112
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: pivots back to Democrats. Now, look, I hope Joe Biden

113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: stays in because just they said, oh, he's going to

114
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: be back on the campaign trail as soon as he's

115
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: done with COVID. That's the best thing that could happen

116
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: to Republicans. The more Biden is out there stumbling, bumbling,

117
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: fumbling around all over the country that every single day,

118
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: the more people look at this and say, yeah, there's

119
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: no way possible that I could ever go out and

120
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden as president. And I hope Buck

121
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: Island stays strong. I hope you are fortifying the ramparts.

122
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I hope you have an impregnable position, because if he's

123
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the nominee, buying you a stake will be the most

124
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: enjoyable steak that I have ever bought, because I do

125
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: not see any way possible that Biden will be elected

126
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty four. Now, when I say that

127
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: all of you go vote, I want all of you

128
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to go vote early. I want all of you to

129
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: bank your ballots. I want all that to happen. So

130
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: don't mistake what I'm saying by looking at the overall

131
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: landscape as encouraging you not to be steadfast in your voting.

132
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: But are you with me? I just I don't see

133
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: any way.

134
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Sort of sadly, and we got to protect him Donald

135
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Trump getting killed that Joe Biden could end up winning

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: this election.

137
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm not as sanguine as you are about our prospects,

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: just because I think that when you're talking about such

139
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: a small margin as the difference, and I understand, we

140
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: see these numbers and we say, oh my gosh, he's up,

141
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: you know, seven percent or five percent in some of

142
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: these swing states, depending on the state. We're still looking

143
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: at now, tens of thousands of voteses not that much.

144
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: It's not that big, right when you actually look at

145
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: what the vote differential would be. Again, depends some stage

146
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: of much bigger populations than others. But even when you're

147
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: when you're seeing this, Clay, I think through the lens

148
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 3: of the poll, if you believe the polls are accurate,

149
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: and I think right now, there's no reason to think

150
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: they're not accurate, then you're still within strike striking distance.

151
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: And Democrats, Clay, look at the dirty tricks they've been

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: willing to pull up to this point. Nothing is off

153
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: the table for them when it comes to power. Nothing

154
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: is off the table when it comes to stopping Donald Trump.

155
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: And I think that we shouldn't lull ourselves into the

156
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: belief that they have been they feel chastised about their

157
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: lunacy when it comes to Trump. I think because you know,

158
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: the Republican Party seems so unified, and Trump is now

159
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: an iconic, a truly iconic and historic figure after what

160
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 3: happened that photo. In one hundred years, there will be

161
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: kids sitting in classrooms looking at that photo of Donald

162
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: Trump and saying, oh my gosh. Really so Democrats are

163
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: a little stunned, no question, But uh, Clay, I mean,

164
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's president right now.

165
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: We can't ignore that. Joe Biden's president. Now, everybody, that's insane.

166
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: It's insane. They turned the turnip into the president.

167
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: So we can't underestimate them.

168
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: I think where we're headed is that they are going

169
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: to ratchet this up to the point. You know you

170
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: have said, and I think there's a lot of truth

171
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: to it. They can't force Biden out. I get it.

172
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: It makes total sense. Hey, we can't actually force him out.

173
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing that can be done, campaign memo out that

174
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: Biden's in the race. I wonder whether they might get

175
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: so desperate Buck that they say we're going to twenty

176
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment you unless you drop out, because that's the

177
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: humiliation they could actually control. They could basically force him

178
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: to walk out of the White House. I don't know

179
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: if they're willing to do it, but if you think

180
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: about basically the nuclear option as it pertains the Democrats,

181
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: that's their trunk card, so to speak.

182
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: You're familiar. I'm sure it's one of the one of

183
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: the most well known ones. The parable of the scorpion

184
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: of the frog, right in this case, for sure, In

185
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: this case, Biden is the frog and the Democrat Party

186
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: or the scorpion, because he's their guy. He's the only

187
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: one right now that makes the choice of going from

188
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: one side just soever knows. Right. The frog is asked

189
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: by the scorpion, take me across the river, and the

190
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: frog goes, no, you're gonna sting me, And the scorpion goes,

191
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that because then we'll both drown. And

192
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: then the scorpion gets on the frog's back and he

193
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: goes to swim to the other side, and the scorpion

194
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: in the middle of the river stings the frog, and

195
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: the frog the last thing he says is what are

196
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: you doing now? We're both gonna die. The scorpion says,

197
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: it's in my nature. That's what scorpions do. The Democrats

198
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: would be insane to do the twenty fifth amendment, that

199
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: would be the scorpion stinging the frog, because it guarantees

200
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: an election loss. Because then we haven't even gotten to

201
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: what are the Republicans gonna say about all this clay?

202
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: They're gonna say the Democrat Party is such a a cluster,

203
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: such a mess, a catastrophe that they couldn't even agree

204
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: whether their own president is basically crazy, and so they

205
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 3: had to use the twenty fifth.

206
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Here what I'm gonna blow your mind here with what

207
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: they'll actually say. They will say, this demonstrates why Kamala

208
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Harris should be president, because she's willing to make the

209
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: hardest possible decision, because she loves her country more than

210
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: she is uh than she is willing to protect Joe Biden.

211
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that is the way they would spin

212
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: this the media. They would actually work. Clay, I think

213
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: that's I think that's flimsy. It's like it's like saying

214
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: kamal as the borders are. They can say it, but

215
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: don't make it good. Well, but then she would get

216
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: to run as the incumb But I'm not saying they

217
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: would do it. I'm saying it's their final threat. If

218
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: Biden won't relinquish power they threaten him with. Remember when

219
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: they went the Republicans went to the White House with

220
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: Nixon and they said the votes are there for impeachment

221
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: and Nixon walked. They they basically wasn't willing to call

222
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: their bluff.

223
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: Is Biden just just give me a moment of perspective here, Clay,

224
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: all right, just forget about the bet, forget about you know,

225
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: the endurance of Buck Island. Just it's just it's like

226
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: Buck Island took a category.

227
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: I almost spit my drink up just at the endurance

228
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: of island.

229
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: Man.

230
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: We have people just we're canoeing around and we got

231
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: kayaks out and we're doing Buck Island got hit with

232
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: a hurricane. Yes, so there's no question, but we abide,

233
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: We endured. Are you absolutely mind blown that Joe Biden

234
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: has even been able to hang on this long? Yes, yes,

235
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: I am beyond stunned. I mean, there are five new

236
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: Democrats today that have come out and said Biden must

237
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 3: step down.

238
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: The RNC is over Trump.

239
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: You can't argue that Trump isn't in a commanding position

240
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: and Biden, I mean, Biden can barely even walk up

241
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the stairs of Air Force One. He looks like he

242
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: might die every step that he takes, and he's hidden

243
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: away somewhere in his beach house. I do have to say,

244
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: I am astounded at his stubbornness so far.

245
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 3: Yes, I just I just want to sell all together record.

246
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: It is a truly remarkable and crazy thing that shoe Biden.

247
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: So if he does for some reason, if it does

248
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: happen in a Sunday or a week or whatever, it

249
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: just goes to show you what we've been saying about Biden,

250
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: that he is obsessed with power, a narcissist delusion. All

251
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: of that is absolutely true. But we'll get into more

252
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: of this well. Also, you know, we didn't get to

253
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: take many calls play because we had so many great

254
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: guests at the R and C. So you know, obviously

255
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: r RNC has concluded, let's take some calls today eight

256
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: hundred two two two eight a two. We can talk

257
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: Biden's succession plans if you think that's gonna happen. You

258
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: could talk about your plot of land on Buck Island,

259
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: or or also, obviously we're reaction to Trump's speech last night,

260
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: which was phenomenal, let's talk about Tunnel Towers Foundation. You know,

261
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: Tunnel to Towers has proven time and again that they

262
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: care for the families of our first responders and those

263
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: who defend our freedoms. Christopher Chambers is one of those individuals.

264
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: He listed in the US Navy and later graduator from

265
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: seal training, which is no easy feat. He was conducting

266
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: a nighttime raid on a ship that was transporting very

267
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: destructive items from Iran to Hoothy forces in Yemen when

268
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: he was reported missing. He lost his life in the

269
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: line of duty that night. Christopher was thirty seven years old.

270
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: He left behind a wife and a young daughter. The

271
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: Tunnel to Towers Foundation provided Christopher's family with a mortgage

272
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: free home. The foundation honors the legacy of those who

273
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: have made the ultimate sacrifice, or are severely injured while

274
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: serving our country and our communities. Tunnel to Towers is

275
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: committed to helping America keep its vow to never forget

276
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: nine to eleven or the sacrifices of its greatest heroes.

277
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: Help heroes who protect the freedoms we all enjoy. Donate

Speaker 1: I everywhere that we went staff we have the number

288
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: one show. I'm we're in the Milwaukee studio right now

Speaker 1: of our affiliate. We have the number one show in

290

291
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: right now, and we met you guys all over the place.

292
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: The number of volunteers that we're trying to make sure

293
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: that the RNC went as well as possible on streets everywhere,

294
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: inside of buildings, answering questions. It was incredible to see,

295
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: and all the way up through last night, I really

296
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody coming up and saying Buck's done for I

297
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: really hope you enjoy your stake.

298
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: It's well deserved.

299
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: That you cash this win because you've been so perfect

300
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: and so right on all this And I'm not kidding Buck.

301
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Last night walking through five Serve and even we had

302
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: the Jason Aldan concert right after the right after the

303
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: RNC that didn't end to what guys like one thirty

304
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: in the morning, I think was basically when Jason Alden

305
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: left the stage one thirty Central Time, so super late

306
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: into the night. Jason Aldean really great. Tens of thousands

307
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: of people showed up for that, but there were people

308
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: coming up all night at that concert as well, saying, man, hey,

309
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: Clay really gonna enjoy that stake. But we were just

310
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: talking about this off air, Buck the Biden. I don't

311
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: know how many true believers are left inside of the

312
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: Biden twenty twenty four campaign. What do you think how

313
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: many I understand people come out as they say, you know,

314
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: we're never gonna surrender we're gonna run. We're running the campaign.

315
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: How many true believers outside of the Biden family itself

316
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: do you think are left in the twenty twenty four

317
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: campaign who legitimately believe he's going to be the candidate.

318
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: I actually think the number is much higher than people realize.

319
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: And I will tell you that. I also had people yesterday,

320
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them. They were dancing on the grave

321
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: of Buck Island as it was sliding beneath the waves.

322
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: It was going to become a scuba only attraction.

323
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: Buck Island.

324
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 3: But no, sure enough, it rose back up from the depths.

325
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 3: And let me say why, or get into why. I

326
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: think that has happened, at least for now. And I'm

327
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: going to tell you this. If it doesn't happen this weekend,

328
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: if it doesn't go down by you know, Sunday or

329
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 3: Monday morning, then that means that they've decided it's no

330
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: longer a conversation with Biden. They're going to try to coerce,

331
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: meaning you know, Hunters. Maybe I don't know, maybe Hunter's

332
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: sentence gets a little longer. I know that he can

333
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: pardon him, but you know, maybe somebody brings state charges. Yeah,

334
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: who knows. I'm telling you they're going to be at

335
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: that point. It's not hey, Joe, we really need you

336
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: to step down. It's step down or Jill is never

337
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: gonna be invited to another Democrat event for the rest

338
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: of her life, you know what I mean. Like, it's

339
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 3: gonna get ugly, ugly at that point. That's what I

340
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 3: think is pretty clear. The reason there are still Biden

341
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: true believers, and they're not believers that Biden is great,

342
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: but their believers that Biden should stay in is I

343
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 3: still think Joe Biden. You cannot show me a poll

344
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 3: that will change my mind on this. I think Joe

345
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 3: Biden has a better shot to pull off the most

346
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 3: you know, out of left field. And I know some

347
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: of your like it's not a left field because we

348
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: know what they're gonna do. But I think he's a

349
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: stronger candidate than Kamala Harris, even in this current state.

350
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 3: Remember I've been saying for two years they will wheel

351
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: him out onto the stage with a blanket across his

352
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: knees and a sippy cup in his hand if they

353
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: think that he's their best shot. And I think, I mean, Clay,

354
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: do you think Kamalo really has a better shot. I

355
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: was hearing people Yester saying any moment now they're gonna

356
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: say it's Kamala Whitmer, Kamala sends Witmer comes in. But

357
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: then later on yesterday, you know what the reporting was.

358
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to be Kamala's vice. Why would you want

359
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: to be Kamala's vice. You're going into You're going up

360
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: against the Trump juggernaut. You're not in the top job.

361
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: You're attaching yourself to a ticket that is in that

362
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: would be formed with only a couple of months ago.

363
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: There'd be disarray. So I'm not even sure you can

364
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: get as a vice on Kamala's ticket. The people that

365
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: everyone's talking about. You have to think about this as

366
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: individual incentives. The individual incentive for Joe Biden to step

367
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: down is zero, meaning Biden gets nothing. It's his choice.

368
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: If he runs and wins, Clay, he's a hero. If

369
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: he runs and wins, he's FDR. I mean, he's a

370
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: Democrat royal for all time. If he runs and loses,

371
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 3: guess what, no worse off than if he steps down today.

372
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

373
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: He's also FDR in that FDR died soon after his

374
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: election in nineteen forty four, and they hid all of

375
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: his mental and physical frailties at that point. Now, I

376
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: would argue historically that might have made sense because we

377
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: were in the middle of a fighting legit Nazis in

378
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the World War War two, but that analogy could play.

379
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Let me say two things here. I agree with you,

380
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: although in terms of Kamala, I think she might have

381
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: better appeal in New York City, in Houston, in Atlanta,

382
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: in LA with some black voters than Joe Biden does.

383
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy. The problem is, I think

384
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: this election is going to be decided quite clearly in Pennsylvania, Michigan,

385
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin, and I think a lot of older, middle income,

386
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: lower middle income white swing voters like Joe Biden far

387
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: more than they like Kamala Harris. So it could be

388
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: the case that Kamala could be stronger. The problem is

389
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: she's stronger in a lot of places where Democrats are

390
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: either going to win big or already lose, and she's

391
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: worse in those Midwest battleground states.

392
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: That's correct, I totally agree with that. I think the

393
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 3: numbers all all support that as we've seen them so far,

394
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: and I've said it before Biden's eight years as Obama's

395
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: VP had created a bond with black voters and Joe Biden.

396
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: And I've been told this by friends and colleagues in

397
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: the past who were black Democrat voters themselves. So this

398
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: is real. There's a sense that Biden was Obama. Whether

399
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: Obama and Biden actually like each other or not is irrelevant.

400
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: You're talking about public perception, not the behind closed doors reality.

401
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: And Kamala Harris, I've said that's her. I'm telling you

402
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: her main constituency is CNN executives. Her main constituency is

403
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: the editorial pages of the New York Times. It is

404
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: elite Democrat IVY or sub ivy league, you know, consensus.

405
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: It is not everyday voters, which we saw this in

406
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty election and the Democrat primary. So this

407
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 3: is why, you know, when the question is asked, well,

408
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: are there any true believers yet? If we had a

409
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: Biden Stafford Clay sit down and make the case to

410
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: us that Biden is still a better candidate than Kamala Harris,

411
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: I'd be sitting there nodding my head with all the data,

412
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: all the reasons why. So that's why I think he's

413
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 3: still been able to stay in I.

414
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Do think, by the way you mentioned the idea of

415
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: Kamala Whitmer, I do think that if she picked Shapiro

416
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, for instance, that might be enough to win

417
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: one of those states in the Midwest, if she got

418
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: the right running mate. And I think that's why, honestly

419
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: that Trump's selection of JD. Vance and just parking him

420
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: in the Midway West is sort of a counter to

421
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: that already, even if that is their play.

422
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it protects is Midwest flank, if you will. I

423
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: think that even with a Gretchen Whitmer ticket, let's I

424
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: mean say, Kamala Gretchen Whitmer, which is I heard you

425
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: know from sources yesterday that this is what was about

426
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 3: to break. It didn't break, but it could still a

427
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: Kamala Gretchen Whitmer ticket. Would they win Michigan. Yes, I

428
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: actually think they might be able to. I think Michigan

429
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: goes Democrat. Oh, but I think I think Virginia gets

430
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: really interesting for Republicans, you know, I think Minnesota. I

431
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: think there are a number of states that all of

432
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: a sudden Democrats would say, oh my gosh, we're hemorrhaging

433
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: support in because older white working class voters and older

434
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 3: black voters still like Joe Biden more than they like

435
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: Kamala and Gretchen Whitmer.

485
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: wanted to note that last night there were some phenomenal speeches,

486
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 3: the biggest one of course being President Trump himself. But

487
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I think that we have a

488
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: lot of you that are of the same guys of

489
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 3: roughly the same age as Clay and me, and you

490
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: probably have the same feelings about this individual that we do,

491
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 3: which is just when you were a young guy, Hulk

492
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: Hogan was just the coolest guy in the world, like

493
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 3: like circa nineteen ninety, right, Hulk Hogan was just the best,

494
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 3: and he made Terry what's his real at Terry Terry Billia?

495
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: I think Terry Billia, that's right.

496
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: So Terry Billia aka Hulk Hogan was there last night,

497
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: and brother, he was there for you to play one.

498
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: What gonna do when Donald Tump and all the top

499
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: of maniacs run wild on you? Brother Biden's. Biden's answer,

500
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: by the way resounding answer is huh what, no idea?

501
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: What's going on?

502
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: Well? What's crazy? You shared this?

503
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: And I think it speaks to the tone deafness. The

504
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: Biden Harris campaign team shared this as if it were

505
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: some maga crazy threat, which just makes me think, did.

506
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: You see this?

507
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: There's such a there's such.

508
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: A they don't even know that that's a famous Hulk

509
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 1: Cogan slogan and not an actual Somebody tweeted that they

510
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: were waiting for CNN to fact check Hulk Cogan and

511
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: be like he is not actually speaking to his brother,

512
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, just like running through all

513
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: of his on the mic commentary. But I saw when,

514
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: like when I saw the Biden Harris teams share that,

515
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I just thought to myself, are they actually working for Trump?

516
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Like has Trump taken over the Biden Harris campaign's slogan,

517
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: because are they just filled with that many imbeciles that

518
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: they thought in some way that's like some existential threat

519
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: of violence.

520
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't even understand what they could be thinking.

521
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: Of the lamest things about the lamestream media, they're make believe.

522
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: The game that they play that they can't understand Trump

523
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: jokes or Maga jokes is one of the most annoying

524
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: because it's so it doesn't work, it's dumb. It's just

525
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: it's their version of I know you are, but what

526
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: am I? Or you know?

527
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: Giving us like the it'sist, but they do it.

528
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 3: I don't know they they're so deranged about Trump that

529
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: they pretend they can't get jokes. For those of us

530
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: who have a sense of humor about anything and understand

531
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: that last night was also about pageantry and showmanship. That's

532
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: what a convention, a political convention is. It's meant to

533
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: be a visual, it's meant to be a spectacle. It

534
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: was awesome to have Hulk Hogan there doing his thing,

535
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: and he's also I'll say this, there's nostalgia behind it, sure,

536
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: but hul Cogan also takes us back to an era, right,

537
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: because he got really big in the late eighties and

538
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: the early nineties, right, Well, that was really his front.

539
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: He takes us back to a time when American flags

540
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: and pride in your americanness and Americanism was expected. It,

541
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: it was celebrated, it was something to just be happy about.

542
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: It's the Democrat party of the twenty first century that is,

543
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: by their own admission, in some cases, frightened of the

544
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: American flag and Americana. So Hulk's a throwback. But Clay,

545
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: I think he also shows how much things have changed

546
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: because Democrats look at him like, oh my gosh, why

547
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: is he wearing that tie?

548
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: Those the T shirt that he's ripping up. It's so

549
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: hyper masculine.

550
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: Well it takes me back for instance, And you guys

551
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: can fact check me on this if I'm wrong, but

552
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: I believe the nineteen eighty eight Olympics were in Seoul,

553
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: in Korea, and I was at that point in time

554
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: nine years old, and that is basically the apex of

555
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: when Hulk Cogan was becoming an absolute global superstar. It

556
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: continued from there, and you could say he was a

557
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: superstar on either side of that. But what I remember

558
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: about that as you are just bringing up is we're

559
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: going to have the Olympics start in just a couple

560
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: of weeks in Paris, maybe a week, whatever the math

561
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: is on that. I remember watching the nineteen eighty eight

562
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: Olympics and rooting as as hard as I could for

563
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: Americans to win every single medal. And I remember old

564
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: school day, Buck, you would pull up the newspaper and

565
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: it was a really big deal which country won the

566
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: most medals.

567
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: Do you remember all that? Like how much the nationalism

568
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: there was to root for your country?

569
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: Patriotism was cool. We grew up in an era where

570
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: patriotism was cool, and filthy commies in this country who

571
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: hated their own country were treated like the filthy commies

572
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: they are. That that transformed, That changed, starting I would

573
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: say in the mid nineties and then into the early

574
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: two thousands, although nine to eleven I think put a

575
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 3: there was a momentary pause on the hating of patriotism,

576
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: and then they got back to hating patriotism a few

577
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: years into the Bush term, or maybe two years into

578
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: the Bush term. But Hulk Hogan represents an era where

579
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: our cultural icons were still expected our American cultural icons

580
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: were still expected to love America and that is absolutely

581
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: no longer the case. Unfortunately, it's very you know, whether

582
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: it's the you know, the kneeling and like the US

583
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: women's soccer teams. I mean, we could go all day

584
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: all these different people who elevate themselves by lowering and

585
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: demeaning this the greatest country in all human history. That's

586
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: been a that's a troubling cultural and political shift. And

587
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: I think Hulk Hogan is a He harkens back to

588
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: the era where everyone loved the American flag.

589
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: And I would argue too, people are gonna get fired

590
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: up about this. Hulk Cogan may be the greatest sports

591
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: entertainer of all time. I don't know who else you

592
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: would put on that category now. And again, I'm not

593
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: saying he's Michael Jordan. I'm not saying he's Babe Ruth.

594
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's the greater you can't say athlete,

595
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: you said sports entertainments entertainer. I don't know that anybody

596
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: is better than him. And what it also epitomized to

597
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: me from this convention, and I thought yesterday very much

598
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: epitomized at buck Republicans have become the party of on

599
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: when's the last time that you saw Democrats and they

600
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: just looked like they were having a really good time.

601
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: Maybe eight Obama, It's been a long time where you

602
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: put it on and there was just a joy and

603
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: an effervescence associated with it. Whether it's kid rock, and

604
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: by the way, the reaction shots of some of the

605
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: RNC members trying to dance to kid Rock was funny.

606
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: But Hault Cogan, Dana White, just this personification of American badass,

607
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: nests and fun. I think that carries through. I think

608
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: it's infectious, and I don't think Democrats are always like

609
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: upset now about fun or people who have success or

610
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: people who are having a good time. And I think

611
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: that carries through and conveys, particularly with young men who

612
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: I believe are breaking Republican in a big way right now. Yes,

613
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: it's more than just a party or a politician.

614
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: It's a movement.

615
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: Maga, maga. However you choose to say you have people

616
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: that I don't remember unless you were at a political rally.

617
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't remember ever seeing people walking around, particularly wearing

618
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 3: Bush Cheney gear. Yeah, Trump has merchandise swag. He's got

619
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: stuff that people wear all the time. You go out

620
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: in certain parts of the country, like where Clay is

621
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: up in the Panhandle, and you'll see photos or you'll

622
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: see it you're with your own eyes of boats that

623
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: have Trump flags, Like there's just a there's a sense

624
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 3: of unity and of fun, and also just there's a culture.

625
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 3: Trumps has cultural implications and you saw that on display

626
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 3: last night. As for what he actually said, let's get

627
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 3: into some of what Trump's messaging was, because I thought,

628
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 3: you know, it's interesting people are saying, oh, we spoke

629
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: too long. Well, that's what Trump does. And I would

630
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: say the first thirty minutes were remarkable and historic and

631
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: truly moving, and the rest of it was Trump being

632
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 3: and a lot of people, especially given what happened with

633
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 3: a bullet scraping his head and other bullets just barely

634
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: missing him, they really appreciated that Trump could get up there,

635
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: and do you know, they wanted as much Trump as

636
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: they could get on that stage. It was a reassurance,

637
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: I think, to a lot of people who truly believe

638
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: in Trump and the movement he represents. It was reassurance

639
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: that he's definitely okay, because he's really being Trump up there,

640
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: you know, and sure he maybe has a new perspective

641
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: on things which anybody would after a near death experience

642
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: like that, and that is certainly what it was. But

643
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: I think it was reassuring to the Trump faithful that

644
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 3: he's able to get up there do what he did.

645
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: And it also, by the way, Clay is quite a

646
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 3: juxtaposition between Biden, who is still and I'm seeing the

647
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 3: troubling reports that Biden may be dropping out on Sunday.

648
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: I'm seeing them, don't they I will not I will

649
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 3: not waiver. I will never surrender Clay until I am

650
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 3: totally defeated. I mean, we may wake up one day

651
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: in Buck Island may have been hit by a tidal wave.

652
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: It no longer exists, and historians will wonder where it was.

653
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: But for now the island end yours. But Biden can't

654
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: get up, and can't get up and do the debate

655
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 3: for ninety minutes, we all saw that he really can't

656
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 3: get up and do very much at all in public.

657
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: Trump can go.

658
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: Off the cuff for I mean, I think he probably

659
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: just got tired because it was midnight. I mean, Trump

660
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 3: could go up there and do a three hour stage

661
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: show by himself any day of the week and it

662
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: would be entertaining, and he would go off prompter and

663
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: we'll play some of those cuts for you as he

664
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 3: went off prompter. But to me, the first thirty minutes

665
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: is probably where seventy five or eighty percent of people

666
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: are watching. Then it gets late on the East Coast.

667
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: People got kids put to bed, they've got to take

668
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: care of their nightly obligations.

669
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: A lot of you just get tired.

670
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: But one thing that I haven't heard anybody say is

671
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: by speaking long, Trump basically cut any of the criticism

672
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: of him out of CNN and m snbc's viewership because

673
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: by the time he finished, it was after midnight on

674
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: the East Coast, and most of the reactions, whatever they

675
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: were going to be positive or negative, people turned off

676
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: their televisions and went to bed. If he had done

677
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: a thirty five minute speech, there would have been still

678
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: a substantial audience for an hour of people reacting to

679
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: what he said. Instead, most people when Trump finished just

680
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: turned off their televisions. And this morning, the narrative cycle

681
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: has already moved from Hey, what happened at the RNC

682
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: to what's Biden going to do? We're right back to

683
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: where we were before the RNC started. The new movie

684
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: is the same as the old movie, and it is

685
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: what are democrats going to do? And I do think

686
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: that is an intriguing aspect of this. We'll play a

687
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: couple of cuts for you from Trump when we come back,

723
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: Tennessee Representative Mark Green, Kevin Roberts, who's the president of

724
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: the Heritage Foundation, gold Star Family member Darren Hoover, who's

725
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: the father of Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover, who lost his

726
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: life serving his country in Afghanistan during the disastrous Biden withdrawal.

727
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: He was at the gate where the two side bomb

728
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: went off. But we'll get to all of us really

729
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: amazing interviews coming up here in the third hour. He

730
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 3: meant to tell you at the top of our one,

731
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: but please stay with us for that. And then you know,

732
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: it was I think the whole speech last night that

733
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: Trump gave Clay as we're watching, it was ninety minutes.

734
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: It is a look, don't do a ninety minute wedding toast.

735
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you right now, keep your speeches and

736
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: your toast generally on the short side. For all of us,

737
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: you know, Trump is superhuman, but for most of us

738
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: who want to keep it shorter, well, there was the

739
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 3: one part of it that we all agree was particularly memorable,

740
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 3: emotional and profound, something stirring in the American soul just

741
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: to hear the words from President Trump, and it was

742
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 3: when he described what happened to him last weekend in

743
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 3: the assassination attempt. We just wanted to share this with

744
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: you because honestly, it touched all of us as we

745
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: were watching, and it touched our hearts and listen.

746
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: Behind me and to the right was a large screen

747
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my leadership.

748
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 4: The numbers were absolutely amazing. In order to see the chart,

749
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: I started to like this, turned to my right and

750
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 4: was ready to begin a little bit further turn, which

751
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: I'm very lucky I didn't do. When I heard a

752
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really really hard.

753
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: On my right ear.

754
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 4: I said to myself, wow, what was that. It can

755
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: only be a bullet and moved my right hand to

756
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: my ear brought it down. My hand was covered with blood,

757
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 4: just absolutely blood all over the place. I immediately knew it

758
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 4: was very serious that we were under attack, and in

759
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 4: one movement, proceeded to drop to the ground. Bullets were

760
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 4: continuing to fly as very brave Secret Service agents rushed

761
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: to the stage, and they really did.

762
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: They rushed to the start.

763
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: Those are great people at great risk, I will tell you,

764
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: and pounced on top of me so that I would

765
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: be protected. There was blood pouring everywhere, and yet in

766
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 4: a certain way, I felt very safe because I had

767
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 4: God on my side.

768
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: I felt that.

769
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 4: The amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if

770
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: I had not moved my head at that very last instant,

771
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 4: the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark, and

772
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: I would not be here tonight.

773
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 3: We would not be together, Clay, it was. It was

774
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: emotional to be at the RNC as Trump is saying this.

775
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: It was emotional.

776
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: You know.

777
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: Carrie was tearing up.

778
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: She told me when this was going on.

779
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 3: So many people in the audience were tearing up because

780
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 3: we almost we almost lost Trump. Not he almost lost

781
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 3: an election. We almost lost our guy, President Trump to

782
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: violence in an election, to an assassin's bullet. And I

783
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 3: know it's on the one hand, it shakes you to

784
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: your core to just think about it and to think

785
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 3: about what would have happened to the country. But I

786
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 3: do try to take the positive from it of what

787
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: a gift we are in this period right now of

788
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: Trump is okay. I understand we talked about the Corey

789
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 3: Compori who lost his lost his life. I understand that

790
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 3: it was a disaster from a Secret Service perspective, But

791
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 3: for the nation and for the future of politics in

792
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: this country and just our national soul, we were given

793
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: a reprieve. We were given a second chance here. Trump

794
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: was given a second chance, but so were all the

795
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: rest of us. And we talked to with the rn

796
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 3: C chair yesterday. For people who missed it, I haven't

797
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: heard him say this anywhere else or read anyone right

798
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: about it. He said that there's no way the RNC

799
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: would have taken place in Milwaukee this week if Trump

800
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 3: had been shot. I mean, we would all be in

801
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 3: the midst of funeral preparations, arrangements for Donald Trump. And

802
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, Corey comparatory right now in Pennsylvania, they

803
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: are having his funeral. And I think it's important to

804
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 3: recognize that the Secret Service futility cost him his life,

805
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: and Trump paid tribute to him. We have that cut six.

806
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 3: Let's play that as well, because there was a cost here. Thankfully,

807
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: the two other people who were hit, according to what

808
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: Trump said last night, it appears that they are going

809
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 3: to survive. But this dad, this husband, he died because

810
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: of Social Security, Social Secret Service failure, just like Trump

811
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 3: nearly did. Here's Trump paying tribute to him. Cut six.

812
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: I want to thank the fire department and the family

813
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 4: for sending his helmet, his outfit, and it was just something,

814
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 4: and they're going to do something very special when they

815
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 4: get it. But we did something which cannot match what happened,

816
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 4: not even close. But I am very proud to say

817
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: that over the past few days we've raised six point

818
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 4: three million dollars for the families of David, James and Corey,

819
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: including from a friend of mine.

820
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 3: Just called up. He's sent me a check right here.

821
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 4: I just got it one million dollars from Dan Newland.

822
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dan, really very I thought powerful moment as

823
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Trump acknowledged that dad and that husband's death, one hundred

824
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: percent innocent Trump supporter could have been any of you

825
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: out there listening right now who've ever been to a

826
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: Trump rally. And on Monday, the director of the Secret

827
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: Service is going to have to testify in front of Congress.

828
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: But to me, if you talk about Biden's weakness and

829
00:47:55,080 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: his inability to lead, not demanding that woman's reside nation

830
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: or firing her. By the time we got to Sunday

831
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: and knew enough of the evidence surrounding this, the incompetence

832
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: of the Secret Service protection that day is only getting

833
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: worse as more of the details come out. And as

834
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: we said on Monday Show, this is not some brilliant

835
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: strategic plan of attack that had never been seen before

836
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: in the annals of the presidency or American assassination attempts.

837
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: The guy climbed on top of the most self evident

838
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: location that you could attempt to shoot Trump from, and

839
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: was able to do so. It is a failure of

840
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: epic magnitude that nearly threw this country into complete chaos.

841
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: And only by the grace of God are we still

842
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: able to have a normal political discussion at all.

843
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 2: Right now.

844
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 3: That's how I like to think of this is we

845
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 3: were all given a second chance. You know. There's a

846
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: very famous quote by Marcus Aurelia and Meditations, which is

847
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 3: Marcus Aurelis is kind of diary, if you will, and

848
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 3: a lot of the other A lot of I should

849
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 3: say stoic philosophers have become very popular in recent years,

850
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: especially on social media. But the Marcus Aurelius quote is

851
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life.

852
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 3: Now take what's left and live it properly. There is

853
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 3: a perspective that comes from almost losing your life, and

854
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: as a nation, I think we almost lost our political system.

855
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I don't know what happens

856
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: if Trump I honestly can't even really go there because

857
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: it's just so horrible for the country. But now we

858
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 3: recognize the path that we are on with greater clarity,

859
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 3: I think than ever before. And Trump certainly does and

860
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 3: that was evident from everything at the r and see

861
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 3: that he was saying, and just the energy and the

862
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 3: people around him. So let's make the most of this

863
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: second chance that we got in this election. But also

864
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 3: as a country, we'll take some of your calls here

865
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 3: in just a moment. If you had a million dollars

866
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 3: in the bank fifteen years ago, that's just two thousand

867
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 3: and nine, it has diminished in buying power. A million

868
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 3: dollars from two thousand and nine would have seven hundred

869
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 3: thousand dollars of buying power today. That's where both inflation

870
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 3: and out of control federal government spending has done to

871
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 3: the dollar. Now, just for contrast, a million dollars invested

872
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: in gold two thousand and nine will be worth twice

873
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 3: that and then some today. How do you protect the

874
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: value of the dollars in your savings account from inflation,

875
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: Well that's up to you. But investing a portion of

876
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 3: your savings in gold. It's a smart way to protect

877
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 3: the value of your savings. Gold has become easy to access,

878
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 3: easy to own, whether you want it in your savings account,
