1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: The best president we can give you is the best 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: of the best. 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas with the best of Clay and Buck. 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: One of the questions we've been talking about since Trump 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: won the popular vote and romp to three hundred and 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: twelve electoral College votes, since Republicans won the Senate and 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: the House, is how would Democrats handle the red tsunami 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: sweeping over them. I mentioned it is true that Kamala 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: Harris became the first president presidential candidate. This is nineteen 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: thirty two not to flip a single county. Think about 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: how crazy that is. She got worse in all fifty states. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: But there's not even a county that was a red 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: voting county in twenty twenty that flipped to blue in 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, unprecedented. How would Democrats respond? Would they 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: rationally look in the mirror and say, hey, we got 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: our ass kicked because we had a poor candidate who 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: ran on issues by and large that the American public 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: did not feel addressed the vast majority of the challenges 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: that they were facing. Or would they decide that they 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: weren't left wing enough and that the real reason was racism, sexism, 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: identity politics working against them? And would they in any 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: way try to embrace the truth or would they continue 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: to spread lies. So far, Buck the spread Lie's choice 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: has won. CNN and MSNBC's ratings are tanking, and they're 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: now defending the decision. On CNN, at least one woman 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: is for Hunter Biden to have been pardoned because Trump 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: is going to bring firing squads for his political enemies. 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: This is legitimately what was said on CNN last night. 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: Listen. Wasn't it a lie? 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 4: I mean, you can defend it, but wasn't it a 31 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: lie that he was not going. 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 5: To pardon it? 33 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: No. 34 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 6: I believe the circumstances have changed. I think that we 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 6: now have a president coming into office who's talking about 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 6: firing squads, who's talking about running people around the country 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 6: and making sure that everyone who's his enemy is going 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 6: to be punished. And Hunter Biden lied about his drug 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 6: use on a government for him when he was buying 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 6: a gun, and he failed to file and pay taxes 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 6: when he was a drug addict. He paid back those 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 6: taxes with interest. Johnald Trump himself was indicted for seventeen 43 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 6: counts of criminal tax fraud, more than Hunter, and he's 44 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 6: going to be the president of the United Seven. 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so well, I want to go back to the 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: firing squad line. Many of you will remember, I would 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: say this was peaqud, this honesty buck. In the frenzy 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: of the final few days of the campaign, Liz Cheney 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: herself tried to spread the argument that Trump was saying 50 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: he was going to put her in front of a 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: firing squad. Actually, for anyone who listened to that, Trump 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: said that there are a lot of chickenhawks, that is, 53 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: people who want to have your sons and daughters put 54 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: in mortal peril and wars that they themselves would not 55 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: be willing to fight, and that they themselves would not 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: be willing to put their own families forward to fight. 57 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: It's a very common argument in favor of peace and 58 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: against war. And they tried to argue that Liz Cheney 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: was being threatened with a firing squad by Donald Trump, 60 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: when it was actually the exact opposite. He didn't want 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: anybody to be facing weapons of war. He wants peace. 62 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: And so the fact that they are continuing to spread 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: this and let me just say, also on CNN, which 64 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: claims to care so much about fact checking, why would 65 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: Abby Phillip allow that comment to be made and not 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: immediately step in and say, actually, that's untrue. I think again, 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: in the larger accounting buck, what we have seen is MSNBC, CNN, 68 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: New York Times, Washington Post, ABCNBCCBS, all these legacy media outlets. 69 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Their legitimacy has collapsed. And in the same way that 70 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: we just played that audio of Kashptel being attacked as if. 71 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: He is the sort of the. 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Embodiment of Maga. Actually, when you get attacked by these people, 73 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: it helps now because everyone has seen that they are 74 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: so transparently dishonest. 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: It makes me think, who is the most effective person 76 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: in public life right now making the case against Trump 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: and against trump Ism. If we had to pull together 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: an all star team such as it is, okay, you 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: could say, don't call them all stars, But if you 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: ask me to put together the communist Avengers, the anti 81 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: Trump resistance superstars, I don't know who would be on 82 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: that list. Politicians or pundits right now because they've been 83 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 2: so humiliated by the events of the last year, humiliated 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: by the prosecutions of Donald Trump that went nowhere, in fact, 85 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: probably elevated him to untouchable heights in the primary, the 86 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: Republican primary, and then galvanized the Republican Party behind him 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: like never before. You know, they were humiliated with that, 88 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: they were humiliated by the Joe Biden dementia issue. Then 89 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: by pretending that Kamala Harris wasn't the worst tendate we've 90 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: ever seen. I've never seen anything like this before in 91 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: my life, right, I don't think any of us have 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: where after this election. Now they're trying to say, Notice 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: how we're not saying the election was stolen. Yes, it's 94 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: because everybody knows you got your asses kicked. Like it's 95 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: not even a question, It's not even close. So when 96 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: you add all this together, who can we look to 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: right now? And the only people coming forward are the crazies. 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 2: I'd never heard of this woman before. I mean, she 99 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: looks you just look at her eye. She looks like 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: a wacko. And she's talking about firing squads. I mean, 101 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: this is insane. This is the kind of stuff that 102 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: you should say and people should have to do like 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: a wellness check on you. It makes no sense whatsoever. 104 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: And I think that the Democrat Party is just licking 105 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: their wounds in a way that like I said, we've 106 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: never seen before, and who's even the I watched Morning 107 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: Joe this morning. It's it's sad. It's sad. They're like 108 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: cash ptel is going to be so mean to us. 109 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: Yes, that's the point. 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: I also think what you have seen as these historic 111 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: legacy media organizations have their influence collapse around them, you're 112 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: also seeing how few people are actually willing to do 113 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: the barest amount of homework to go on television. A 114 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: lot of people don't go to the primary sources. They 115 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: comment on the commentary. This is really important. I remember 116 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: I had a law professor and he was talking about contracts, 117 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: and he said, you know what the three most important 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: things are when you get involved in. 119 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 2: The contract, contract to contract. I know this story. 120 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 3: I like this. 121 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: It's exactly right, the contract to contract to contract. I 122 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: think about that all the time. Whenever I'm trying to 123 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: build whatever opinions I have. I want to go to 124 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: the primary sources. I don't want to hear someone reacting 125 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: to a primary source and then react to them. I 126 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: want to at least have seen the primary source myself 127 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: and what you see. And I think a lot of 128 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: these people are getting exposed on social media now because 129 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: X is more of a fair forum. Is many of 130 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: these people like that woman saying, oh, he wants to 131 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: bring firing squads. Did she actually even take the time 132 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: to watch the video so that she could see for herself. 133 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: I think many of these people buck because they controlled 134 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the narrative wheels, the very fine people hoax which they 135 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: were able to propagate to define Trump as a racist, 136 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: white supremacist neo Nazi. They got cocky because they controlled 137 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: all the mechanisms of distribution in a top down way, 138 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: and if somebody came on and read off a teleprompter, oh, 139 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Trump said that neo Nazis are very fine people. They 140 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: were allowed to set the parameters of debate, and now 141 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: suddenly many of you and some of us are able 142 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: to look at that and say, wait a minute, you're 143 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: distorting the reality in order to create your own narrative, 144 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: and that is collapsing around them. 145 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: They don't have that ability anymore. 146 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: I also think the same way that college Republicans are 147 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: so many of them. I mean, I remember back in 148 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: the day when I was a college Republican. So many 149 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: of them are ready to go on Fox News by 150 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: like freshman year at college, sophomore year at college, because 151 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: they've been fighting against the tide ideologically for years at 152 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: that point, and that makes them better by the time 153 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: they graduate. Certainly, people who have been open conservatives in college, 154 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: assuming they don't go to like, you know, the rare 155 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: sane conservative colleges that are out there, it's indicative, I 156 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: think clay of people who have had to fight for 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: their ideas and are adept at doing so. I think 158 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: a similar reality has played out in the media. I 159 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 2: think that conservative media because we've been and this is 160 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: a little sounds a little self congratulatory, but I think 161 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: it's the truth. You look at what our team has 162 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: had to do with people on our side have had 163 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: to put up with, particularly the last ten years or so, 164 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: with the social media stuff and the you know, the 165 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: absolute all in to destroy Trump from the Washington Post, 166 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: New York Times. We've been having to fight and we're 167 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: kind of like seasoned veterans of the media awards at 168 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: this point. These people you see going on the cable 169 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: news channels like MSNBCC at N and the people from 170 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: the New York Times go on them and from the 171 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: Washington Post, and they kind of so called elite Democrat media. 172 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: They're just not very good at this. 173 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Well, just can't make the argument. Do you know what 174 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: I'm saying? 175 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: Like they're like wee can flabby and they're going up 176 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: against a bunch of conservative chads, you know, guys who 177 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: have been bench pressing all day. 178 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean at its most basic level. My 179 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: oldest son is in high school debate and you did debate. 180 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: I did not. 181 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: But you can't win in all argument unless you can 182 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: make the other side's argument better than the other side can. 183 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: And I thought you saw this really distilled. Certainly you 184 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: see it every night with Scott Jennings going up against 185 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: these guys. But I also think Scott Jennings is, by 186 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the way, just smarter than a lot of the people 187 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: he's going up against. I don't think Gavin Newsom is 188 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: a moron. He got exposed by Ron DeSantis in the 189 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity debate. I thought that distinctly crystallized the difference. 190 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: I also thought you saw it with Tim Walls and 191 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: with JD. 192 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 5: Vance. 193 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: Jadie Vance wiped the floor with Tim Walls, just like 194 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: Rond De Santis wiped the floor with Gavin Newsom. It's 195 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: because Newsome and Walls don't really know the arguments of 196 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: Vance and DeSantis. They don't live in a world where 197 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: they see those arguments. And as a result, you're faster 198 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: and quicker on your feet, and to your point, from 199 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: a boxing perspective, you've bit in the ring and taken 200 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: some punches, and so you don't have a glass jaw, 201 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: and you're prepared for the counter punch. And a lot 202 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: of these liberal outlets they just throw punches and they 203 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: never have to worry about somebody else coming back the 204 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: other way. Good boxers think as much or more about 205 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: the CounterPunch than they do the punch, because you can 206 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: take a big swing, but buddy, if you leave yourself open, 207 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the CounterPunch can knock you out. And so many leftists 208 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: don't ever have to worry about the CounterPunch because they 209 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: convince themselves that they're so right, that they think of 210 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: themselves as these battlers of democratic justice, and the reality 211 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: is they're getting wrecked because they don't know what they're 212 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: fighting against. 213 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: That's totally what I'm seeing here and laying out, and 214 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: it's why I think it has actually been to the 215 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: detriment of libs like you, and I will go anyway, 216 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: Like if you got invited to the view tomorrow, by 217 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: the way, I would have to I don't know, I'd 218 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: have to like get a guest host because I'd have 219 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: to watch live in the audience. 220 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: I would be there, so your point, they invited me, 221 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: I would be there with bells on, ready to roll. 222 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: You know I did this on Bill Maher's show. Yeah, 223 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: you know, you go into places. Our side is used 224 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: to making the case, not only to opposition, but oftentimes 225 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: in an ambush situation. 226 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: Right, so we have. 227 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: Become art And I don't just mean me and Clay. 228 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 2: You know, obviously we're in the house that Rush built. 229 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: Rush did this for so many years and built this 230 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: incredible movement. But I'm talking about our contemporaries right now 231 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: as well, a lot of them. I mean, they're I 232 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: could rattle off ten conservative media people off the top 233 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: of my head that are super smart and square, and 234 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: more than ten, by the way, but I'm saying I 235 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: could fill out a roster of people who can make 236 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: all the arguments, who can debate, who are quick on 237 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: their feet. The libs are insane. I mean, they're just 238 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: they're just talking nonsense all the time. They don't even 239 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 2: know what they're saying. 240 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Your point is a good one, not only for media, 241 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: Because I'm sitting here thinking like who would be the 242 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: best advocate for leftist ideas right now in media? I 243 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: can't think of one. That's not a good sign. I 244 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: also can't think of who the head of the Tim 245 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Crap Party is. They are bereafed right now of leadership 246 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,239 Speaker 1: in not only political office, but just political ideas. 247 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 3: That's right. 248 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: I need a good place to be. 249 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: We have Caleb on the line in North Carolina.

I 291 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 5: was forty when I had my first and forty four 292 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 5: when I had a SACA. Just get ready for meeting, 293 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 5: meaning many years of people asking you if you're the granddad. 294 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Buck looks young in the face. We'll see whether fatherhood 295 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: ages in a hartbeat. We were out to dinner with 296 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: an advertiser the other day and he said, he leaned 297 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I think I told you this. He leaned over to 298 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: me and he said, how old is Buck? Because he 299 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: could be any age between like twenty six and fifty. 300 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, he. 301 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: Had no earthly idea how old you are, because he's 302 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: like some old guys look really young, but he's like, 303 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: he could just be a really young guy. 304 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: So that that's funny. 305 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: We have some great talkbacks here too.

The only advice that I would 308 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: give you is don't change everything about the way you 309 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 4: do things around the house. If the baby is sleeping 310 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: and you need to be on the air and you 311 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 4: get a little loud, this happens. Babies need to learn 312 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: to sleep through noises, They need to learn to sleep 313 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 4: through vacuums, dishwashers, running water. Just keep doing what you've 314 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: always been doing and it'll all be great. 315 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: So this is great advice. 316 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: I tell you. 317 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: I know that babies are different than dogs.

I wrote a 332 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: great book about an outlaw Platoon, which I have read 333 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 2: every word of, and I just wanted to give you 334 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: the floor to speak about not just you know, get yeah, 335 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: you're pro Pete. 336 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: We're pro Pete. 337 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: But from the warfighter perspective, I'm seeing so many special 338 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: operations guys, so many guys with many combat tours in Iraq, 339 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: Afghanistan and elsewhere, who are saying, we've got to give 340 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: this shot to Pete. We've got to put him in 341 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: the role. Why is that? 342 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: You know? Pete's a warfighter? I mean, plain and simple. 343 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 8: I mean I've known Pete Haig Seth buck Clay for 344 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 8: a very long time. I mean we were both in 345 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 8: the infantry around the same time together, and we worked 346 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 8: at Concerned Veterans for America during the exact same time 347 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 8: period that these supposed fake allegations, all this stuff happened 348 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 8: in the New Yorker. And you know what I know 349 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 8: about Pete, and what has been true about Pete for 350 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 8: a very long time, guys, is that he has a deep, 351 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 8: abiding love of the war fighters. He appreciates the people 352 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 8: who are in the trenches, who are on the front lines, 353 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 8: front towards enemy. He appreciates the people who do the 354 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 8: heavy lifting in the military. And that doesn't necessarily mean 355 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 8: I mean certainly not talking about the people with stars 356 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 8: on their shoulders, but the actual warfighters. And you know 357 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 8: which I think so brilliant about the hag Seth pick 358 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 8: here is that he is an outsider. He's somebody that 359 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 8: thinks outside the box. Having worked with him before, he 360 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 8: is very, very reform minded, and he understands the issues 361 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 8: both of the Pentagon and the military. And he knows 362 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 8: what it feels like to have a bullet cracked by 363 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 8: his head, so that matters too. But he understands these 364 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 8: policy issues in a very deep and substantive way, and 365 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 8: I think that bodes well for his prospects through the 366 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 8: confirmation process and when eventually he gets confirmed in a 367 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 8: Secretary of Defense. So all of these things are great things, 368 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 8: But beyond all of that, I just love the guy. 369 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 8: He's a good man, he's a good husband, he's got 370 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 8: a great family, and I think he'll be great for 371 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 8: the job. 372 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: I want to dive in with you because I saw 373 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: you tweeting about this and we just talked about it 374 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago. West Point, the Public Affairs 375 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: Group or whoever they are, tried to undercut Pete Hegseth's 376 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: nomination by reaching out to media and saying, not only 377 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: is Pete Hegseth lying about getting into West Point, he 378 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: never even applied, And then Hegseth posted the letter of 379 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: admission that he received on social media. I'm good for 380 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: him that he still has it, because you know not 381 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that I got admitted that many places. But I have 382 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: no idea what happened to any of my admissions letters. 383 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: I got rejected a lot of places for law school too, 384 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know what happened to those either. 385 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: But what's going on here? Like Sean, he would theoretically 386 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: be in charge of the United States Military Academy, Democrat, Republican, 387 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: whatever else. It is the fact that they tried to 388 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: sabotage him. Somebody needs to get fired here. We need 389 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: an investigation into what happened. 390 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 8: I mean, this is precisely why you need somebody like 391 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 8: Pete because these are once venerated institutions. The Department of Defense, 392 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 8: the Pentagon, the US Military Academy at west Point, they 393 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 8: have been infested with these radical leftists and key positions 394 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 8: for quite some time now. I'm not talking about everybody 395 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 8: in the Pentagon or at the United States Military Academy. 396 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 8: I'm not painting with broad strokes here, but the folks 397 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 8: there are lots of decision makers in these is in 398 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 8: West Point that are radical leftists, that put the radical 399 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 8: leftist agenda before in this case the military, UH, the 400 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 8: mission of the United States Military Academy. And you described 401 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 8: it perfectly, Clay. This was somebody at West Point trying 402 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 8: to undermine an incoming President electx pick for Secretary of Defense, 403 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 8: who would theoretically be in charge of West Point, to 404 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 8: try to tank his nomination. That was the motivation behind this. 405 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 8: And ironically enough, this is precisely why we need an 406 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 8: outsider in a guy like Pete to root out this 407 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 8: radical leftist infestation at the Pentagon and other at the Pentagon, 408 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 8: UH and and and focus the mission of the United 409 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 8: States mission of the United States Military on lethality first 410 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 8: last and always get us back to our war fighting mission. 411 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 8: Get rid of all the DEI stuff, get all the 412 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 8: get rid of all the pronoun stuff, get out, get 413 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 8: rid of all the stuff that is a distraction into 414 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 8: the warfighter, and focus on the mission. And in the 415 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 8: case of West Point, the mission is raising up officers 416 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 8: who embody duty, honor, country, service, selfless service, sacrifice, not 417 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 8: focused on tanking political nominations. 418 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: Speaking of Sean Parnell, Battleground is his podcast on the 419 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 2: Clay and Buck Network. Go subscribe to the network and 420 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: look for Battleground. Give it a listen. You will love it. Sean. 421 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: Let's talk politics for a second here. I mean we 422 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: kind of were in a sense, right they're trying to 423 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: block people for political reasons, but you know, more in 424 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: the on the electoral politics side of things. We were 425 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: just discussing Pennsylvania. Amazing work, Scott Presler. Bit did your 426 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: home state delivered? We got a great new senator coming 427 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: in with Dave McCormick. Fetterman, you're familiar. You ran for Congress, right, 428 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: you know that the deal the political landscape in Pennsylvania 429 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 2: very well. Fetterman is saying a lot of sensible stuff 430 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: and people we'll get sometimes a little mad at those 431 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: like me who will just say, look what he said 432 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: is good. I don't know, is this is he not 433 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: Do you think he's actually changing the way he views 434 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: things or is this just a gamut? Is this just 435 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: something that he's doing because he sees where the political 436 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: winds are blowing, Like, how would you assess this? Because 437 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: he's definitely not saying the woke stuff these days. 438 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 8: He definitely I'll just say this, he definitely sees the 439 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 8: way that the political wins are blowing and knows that 440 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 8: he has election and election coming up in twenty twenty eight. 441 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 8: And just do the simple math. From twenty twenty six, 442 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 8: hundred and fifty thousand more registered Democrats than Republicans. In 443 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 8: twenty twenty four, that number is three hundred thousand in change, 444 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 8: so still a lot more Democrats than Republicans. But look, 445 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 8: Republicans just won the state up and down the ballot, 446 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 8: a clean sweep of Republicans in Pennsylvania in twenty four 447 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 8: So in another four years, I mean, this state could 448 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 8: be even Republican Democrats and that makes the state very, 449 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 8: very tough for him. So John Fetterman is going to 450 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 8: have to do some things to reach across the aisle, 451 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 8: give conservatives some you know, quote unquote wins while simultaneously 452 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 8: voting the way that the Democrat Party wants him to vote, 453 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 8: And to me, that's the key differentiator. Don't listen to 454 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 8: the things that John Fetterman says, like he says some cool, 455 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 8: catchy stuff that conservatives like to latch onto, but watch 456 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 8: how he votes. 457 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: A good example of this is Israel. 458 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 8: He waives the Israeli flag all the time, but he 459 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 8: votes against aid for Israel in the Senate over and 460 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 8: over and over again. So you can't in many cases 461 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 8: listen to how the Democrats talk. 462 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 3: You have to watch how he votes. 463 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 8: So Buck and Clay, if he votes starts voting with 464 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 8: the Republicans, then I'll take him a heck of a 465 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 8: lot more serious than the way he is now. But 466 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 8: the last thing I'll say about John Fetterman is this, 467 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 8: and I'll give him a compliment. 468 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 3: John Fetterman is one of. 469 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 8: The few elected officials, especially now on the Democrats side 470 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 8: of the isle, who seem totally out of touch with 471 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 8: reality on most things. But John Fetterman really truly does 472 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 8: understand Pennsylvania, and so I will give him credit for that, 473 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 8: and for that for that reason alone, it makes him 474 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 8: a very formidable politician and So the fact that he's 475 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 8: this forward thinking, sees the numbers, sees that the state 476 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 8: is trending right. The fact that he's already thinking about 477 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 8: this in twenty four for a cycle in twenty eight 478 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 8: just gives you a sense that he does have some 479 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 8: political strategy up up here. He does understand the state, 480 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 8: he understands the demographics, and so makes him formidable and 481 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 8: Republicans should not take him for granted. 482 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: Sean, I know we're four years out from a major election, 483 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: but how durable do you think the new calculus, the 484 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: new math is for Pennsylvania. You mentioned that you think 485 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: the state is tilting red. Trump one hundred and twenty 486 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: thousand vote win in the state of Pennsylvania. It was close, 487 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: but it was a major statement win. How much of 488 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: that is Trump and how much of that is the 489 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: overall trajectory of Pennsylvania moving in a Republican direction. 490 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 8: Well, so a lot of this is Trump, and I 491 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 8: think part of our job moving forward in the Commonwealth 492 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 8: of Pennsylvania is try to preserve this crazy coalition cross 493 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 8: section of people that only show up for Trump. Our 494 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 8: job moving forward is to figure out how to get 495 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 8: those people to the ballot box. Each and every cycle, 496 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 8: not just in midterms, but in off cycles as well. 497 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 8: Consider this all the work that we did with early 498 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 8: votes in mail in ballots this cycle. Dave McCormick, he 499 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 8: won twenty seven counties in vote cast by mail. Of 500 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 8: the sixty seven counties in Pennsylvania, McCormick won twenty seven. 501 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 8: Doctor Oz in twenty twenty two won two. But in 502 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 8: those twenty seven counties that Dave McCormick won, his margin 503 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 8: of victory was twenty one thousand mail in votes. That 504 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 8: was greater than a statewide margin of victory. So what 505 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 8: we did in Pennsylvania, in addition to President Trump just 506 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 8: being very strong at the top of the ticket, what 507 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 8: we did for Dave McCormick and Republicans down ballot was 508 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 8: literally the difference. And so you don't see the same 509 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 8: dynamic playing out in Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, and other places. 510 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 8: But what we did in Pennsylvania made the difference. And 511 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 8: so we're going to have to focus on all of 512 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 8: the you know, hey, vote by mail early vote operation, 513 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 8: continue banging the drum on voter registration, getting low prop 514 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 8: voters to the polls, and continuing to cobble together this 515 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 8: very eclectic coalition that Trump brings to the table, because 516 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 8: that is the base of our party now and we've 517 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 8: got to serve them well. 518 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 2: Thank you, Sean.

Now I have not heard this, 530 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: but I had the tea. 531 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: The team. 532 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: I really am excited to hear this. First of all, 533 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: we did not win, so like we did win. 534 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: But also you sent a photo of what you wrote 535 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: down on a scratch pad, so I want to understand 536 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: I really was reading what I thought he had written. 537 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so for people who watch on video, I am 538 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: like the one thing that I have retained from law 539 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: school is I basically write everything on a yellow legal pad, 540 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: so my notes, if you're watching on video or not, 541 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: if you've ever watched me do an out kickshow or 542 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: anything else, I basically jot down everything on a yellow 543 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: legal pad. And then I when I'm done with the show, 544 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: I ripped the page off, watt it up, throw it away. 545 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: It's gone forever. But I do have a picture of 546 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: my picture that I thought my writing was actually pretty good. 547 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna text this to Ali.

I think 551 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. I think I actually have really good penmanship, 552 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: I must say. But Buck does not agree with the 553 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: penmanship analysis. You can see whether or not you. In fact, 554 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: I'll post it on social so everybody can see it easily. 555 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: But here was what it sounded like when Buck was 556 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: reading the Picks over the weekend. 557 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson more than two and twenty six. I guess 558 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: that's yards Sequan, right, Sequan more than porn five td 559 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: Rush receiving and then George. Now what George P. I 560 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: don't know what this guy's know, do you, guys, George 561 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: to say Pickles? 562 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 3: What's his name? I don't know. 563 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: He's a football player, George P. Somebody help me? Sequon 564 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 2: producer Mark, thank you sake? Oh George pick Ends. I 565 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: thought it said Pickles here? 566 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness this? 567 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 3: How did Sequan? 568 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 2: How did Sequan do? By the way, did he go above? 569 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: Uh? Over? 570 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 3: So? 571 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: I haven't even checked all these because I know we 572 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: lost on Jalen Hurts got a touchdown. Jaden Daniels on 573 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: Thursday night football did not throw over the total, so 574 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: we lost that one. I believe we need to check Saquon, 575 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and George Pickens and see how those turned out. 576 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: But once you lose one, it doesn't matter. So I 577 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't even check the other three because I knew we 578 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: lost with Jayden Daniels. Ali has seen Ali? Can Ali? 579 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: Come in? 580 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: Ali? 581 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: You have seen the writing? You do not know football 582 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: players at all? How would you assess my penmanship? And 583 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: when you see Buck trying to read this? 584 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, Clay, I'm totally gonna defend Buck here that that 585 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 7: handwriting chicken scratch is putting it nicely. 586 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: Clay's handwriting, you threw me in the trench with the grenades, 587 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 2: my friend, with that handwriting, that is not easy. 588 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna post it. 589 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: You guys can all make a decision about whether or 590 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: not my handwriting is worthy or not, or whether. 591 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 2: B Kuan had one hundred and forty six yards and 592 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. I knew we were right to bet on him. 593 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: Sequan is an amazing pronunciation, although to be fair, how 594 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: many people are actually named Saquon? I mean that that 595 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: is probably not a name that very many people come across. 596 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: I had read until you wrote that down, I had 597 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: never come across nor heard that name. 598 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 2: That is the truth. I did not know this gentleman's name. 599 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Saquan had an incredible game, So I think again, 600 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at these, at the total we won 601 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: on a lot of these. But again, you when I 602 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: gave you out five, we were trying to win on 603 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: a twenty to one payout there, and that would mean 604 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: so Russell Wilson went under on his passing yards, so 605 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: we did not win that one. And your good friend 606 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: George Pickle, George Pickens, did go over the receiving yard totals, 607 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: so we won three out of the five of that, 608 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: but you have to go five for five to hit 609 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: a twenty for twenty sorry a twenty to one payout. 610 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: But I would encourage the team to clip buck doing 611 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: the read and also my chicken scratch as it's called, 612 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: and you guys can all make a decision about whether 613 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: or not you believe that he should have been able 614 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: to nail it.
