1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: all of you hang out with us as we are 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: rolling through the Friday edition of the program. Lots of 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: fun things coming your way. President Trumps scheduled to have 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: a media availability and an announcement in the Oval Office shortly. 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: He has continued to discuss the rapid decline in DC's 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: crime rate, including in an unscheduled visit to a local 8 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: Trump para paraphernalia. I guess it would say Trump sort 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: of souvenir shop near the White House. He went over 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: in his Trump was right about everything hat and made 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: an unscheduled visit a little bit earlier this morning. I 12 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: am told part of the announcement that Trump is going 13 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: to make today not super significant, but is related to 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: the World Cup, which the United States will be hosting 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: next year. And we will have Andrew Giuliani, son of 16 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, on the program in the third hour to 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: discuss some of those details. All that coming your way 18 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: as we are talking to you. The state of Texas 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: is poised to remake the congressional map there the battle 20 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: with California now having a referendum to potentially remake their 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: congressional map as well. This is a fight that might 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: make sense for Gavin Newsom because it puts him more 23 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: in the center of the national stage. But unfortunately for him, 24 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: all of the blue states by and large have already 25 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: redone their congressional districts to effectively box out many different 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: parts of the overall landscape when it comes to red 27 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: state voters being respected even in locations that are you know, 28 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: like Illinois, where you have forty four percent of the 29 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: vote going for President Trump, and in Illinois, fourteen of 30 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the seventeen congressional seats are in Democrat hands. So ultimately, 31 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: I think this is going to work to Republican favor. 32 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: As I said before, a study in The New York 33 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Times says that the congressional map is a little bit 34 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: slanted in favor of Democrats based on the results of 35 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four elections. So 36 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: we will discuss some of that as that decision is 37 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: coming down. John Bolton a raid this morning. We will 38 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: break that down here momentarily, and we've got some fun 39 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: language changes that the Democrat Party is discussing. We will 40 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: have some fun with that for words that they say 41 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: that they no longer want to be included. But I 42 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: would say probably the biggest story as we start off 43 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: today is the fact that John Bolton's home was rated. Buck, 44 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: this is an intelligence related story, So I'm going to 45 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: tee it up for you as many different people are 46 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: out there reacting to this. Bolton has been a prominent 47 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: Trump critic and and this raid seems designed to investigate 48 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: whether he has been a source for the leaking of 49 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: classified documents, both in Trump one point zero and maybe beyond. 50 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: Is that a fair assessment in your mind, Buck, of 51 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: what exactly is going on here. 52 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: Obviously we need more details to really understand everything that's 53 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: that's going on with this, But I gotta tell you, 54 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: I mean there's a few things that jump out at 55 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: me right away. One is that there's a he wrote 56 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: a book, right and in this book he he says 57 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: he got it reviewed. And I mean, look, this is 58 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: a former Trump guy too, so it's interesting because he 59 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: was a Trump national security advisor. It's not a Democrat 60 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: who had his house raid rated. So they've searched his 61 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: home and his office of John Bolton. Have you ever 62 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: done a hit with Bolton? Clay, I actually did. I 63 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: don't think so. I don't know him. 64 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: I've never met him. I don't think I have any 65 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: any interaction with him in any way. 66 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so I've I've met him a couple of times. 67 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: The investigation in Bolton, according to New York Times, here, 68 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: seeks to determine whether he illegally shared or possessed classified information. Uh, 69 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: and that's pretty much what we've got. There are a 70 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: few things that could be at issue here. One is 71 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: the book that he wrote, and the book he says 72 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: was cleared. I've been told that there's something about a 73 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: verbal clearance that he received for it. Basically, there may 74 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: be some dispute over whether the book went through and 75 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: this I went through this process. For any of you 76 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: who are wondering why has my book taken so long? 77 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: It was many mon months of just pure bureaucratic delay. 78 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: But I knew Clay I had to get under and 79 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 2: this is under both a NDA and under National security 80 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: statute that I signed to go to the CIA twenty 81 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: years ago that if I'm writing anything that touches on 82 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: my CIA experience, classified information, etc. You have to submit 83 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: And I had to get this letter. It's almost like 84 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: getting a clearance letter from a prosecutor, like you're good, 85 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: You're not under investigation anymore. I had to get a 86 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: clearance letter. Your book is fine. Without that letter, you 87 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: are liable for anything that is in that book that 88 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: the National Security Apparatus decides was classified. So the book 89 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: could be an issue. That's part one. I do remember 90 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: thinking I have to go and check on this team. 91 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: But I remember he got a book out very fast 92 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: after he was done with his time in the Trump administration, 93 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: so fast that I recall think king maybe he had 94 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: some kind of a buddy on the inside who moved 95 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: it along for him. But maybe maybe he played a 96 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: little fast and loose. I don't know. The other possibility 97 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: is that he had classified documents in his home. To me, 98 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: that would be so stupid, it's unthinkable except Biden, as 99 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: we all know from when he was vice president and 100 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: when he was a senator. But to be fair, Biden 101 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: did also have some dementia going on, so you know 102 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: there is we can't say he had dementia. And I 103 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: think this. 104 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: Is important, by the way, after the Trump and Biden 105 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: classified document scandals, if by chance you worked in former 106 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: intelligence and you were like, uh, oh, I've still got 107 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: some of these. You probably burned them or shredded them 108 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: or got ready rid of them if you have a 109 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: remotely functional brain, right. I mean, the idea that you 110 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: would continue to possess those is crazy. 111 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: It's not hard to get rid of them. To keep 112 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: them would be That's what I mean. It would be 113 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: reckless beyond and look, General Petreus got hit on this one, 114 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: four star general and former CIA director. He got hit 115 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: for having classified outside of proper chance, So it does happen. 116 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: There was a CIA director a long time ago, even 117 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: though he's the director, not allowed to just kind of 118 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: have the papers all over his office at home, So 119 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: that's possible. I would think bot In is too clever 120 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: for that, but maybe I'm giving him too much credit. 121 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: The other thing, which is probably the likeliest clay but 122 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: the hardest to prove, is was he feeding information classified 123 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: information to reporters to undermine Trump, who he had just 124 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: been working for as National security advisor. I think that's 125 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: the likeliest, personally, just the likeliest scenario of what the 126 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: investigation is focused on. But look, man, you never want 127 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: those FBI guys and windbreakers come into your house and 128 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get more on this one. And it's 129 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: it's just own you. Cash Battel, the director of the FBI, 130 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: beat it out. No one's above the law. Trump's taking 131 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: that serious or his team is taking that seriously. Trump 132 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: said he has no knowledge of this. Yeah, I don't 133 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: believe that, But I would say President, I'm. 134 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: Saying, yeah, yeah, I would say the same thing if 135 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: I were president of the United States, I'll be like, man, 136 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: you know they got independence. I don't know anything about it, 137 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: but that's exactly what I would say. I do think 138 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: we should play the flashback here. Here is John Bolton. 139 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: For anybody out there that is freaking out. Here is 140 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: John Bolton saying after Trump's home at Mar a Lago 141 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: was rated, Hey, let's just wait and let the process 142 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: play itself out cut five. 143 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: And I don't think he cared about the classification system. 144 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: I don't think he appreciated the sensitivity of this information, 145 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: and he didn't appreciate the sensitivity of how it was 146 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: often acquired, the so called sources and methods. So this 147 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: had been brief to him before I arrived, it was 148 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 3: repeated frequently. I think it simply had no impact on him. 149 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: Whatever. 150 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: It's very hard to speculate on motive other than that 151 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: he liked cool things. He saw things that he so 152 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: he wanted to take them, and he was pretty much 153 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: able to take them, and not just on classified information matters, 154 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: on all kinds of things that crossed his desk. Some 155 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: days he liked to eat a lot of French fries. 156 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: Some days he took classified documents. 157 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 2: He wanted them. 158 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: Why did he want them because he could get them? 159 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 160 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: Oh, whoa, Maybe he wanted them because he could get them. 161 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: Let me also clarify what I said. I don't know 162 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: that Trump is getting updated on every raid like this. 163 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: I think Trump knows the process which led to these 164 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: raids are going to happen. I would say probably cash 165 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: Ptel doesn't walk in and say, hey, tomorrow morning early, 166 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: we're going to be doing a raid. I'm not sure 167 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: Trump is getting the minute updates like that. 168 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't think. I think on his former National security 169 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: advisor Clay, he probably is. 170 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: Now Maybe I think Clay I think killing him the 171 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: exact moment that they're going to happen, which allows Trump 172 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: to say I didn't know about it. 173 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: I think that Trump, uh, maybe it wasn't in the 174 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: decision making process to do the raid. I think that 175 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: ag Bondi and Cash Pattel probably were handling that. Look, 176 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: this is also we see this with the DOJ and 177 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: with special counsel stuff and all this. They work for 178 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: the president, but there's this belief that they kind of 179 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: don't work for the president. But there's a Chinese wall, 180 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: so to speak, between them and the president. But no, 181 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: not really, you know. So it's a strange place for 182 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: things to be. I have to wonder if this is 183 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: actually going to I have to wonder, you know, what 184 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: the basis for this is, because to do this and 185 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: to have it go nowhere here, by the way, here 186 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: is Trump. Let's hear Trump talking about this. Play cut one, 187 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: go for it. 188 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: No, I don't know about it. I saw it on 189 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 4: television this morning. I'm not a fan of John Bull. 190 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 4: He's a real said of a low life. When I 191 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 4: hired him, he served a good for is because, as 192 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: you know, he was one of the people that forced 193 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: Bush to do the ridiculous bombings in the Middle East, 194 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: the boult he you know, he he wants to always 195 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 4: kill people and he's very bad at what he does. 196 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 4: But he worked out great for me, because every time 197 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: he doesn't talk, he's like a very quiet person, except 198 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: on television, who you could say something bad about trumpelways 199 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: do that, but but he really doesn't talk. He's quiet. 200 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: And I'd walk into a room with him with a 201 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 4: foreign country, and the foreign country would give me everything 202 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: because they said, I don't know, they're gonna get blown 203 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: up because John Bolton is in. He's a not a 204 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic. I mean, 205 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: we're gonna find out. I know nothing about it. I 206 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 4: just saw it this morning. They did a rid Do 207 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 4: you accept the dug review on this? Yeah, they'll be 208 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: they'll brief probably today sometime, and I don't want to. 209 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 4: I tell him, and I tell the group I don't 210 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: want to know about just you have to do what 211 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: you have to do. I don't want to know about it. 212 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 4: It's not necessary. I could know about it. I could 213 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 4: be the one starting, and I'm actually the chief law 214 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: enforcement officer. But I feel that it's set better this way. 215 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Let me say this too, Buck, I would say on 216 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: this front, I think Trump may not want to know 217 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: about some of this stuff because he doesn't want to 218 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: be blamed if it gets leaked. You ever been in 219 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: that scenario where you I hate sometimes knowing information that 220 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: I know is not public yet because I'm like, eight 221 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: people know this. If it gets leaked, somebody's going to 222 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: be like, oh, he's the one who talked, right. And 223 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: So I think one thing Trump learned about during his 224 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: first term, in addition to knowing that people like John Bolton, 225 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: who frankly he just didn't have the knowledge to know 226 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: who to surround himself with as staff, I think also 227 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: he learned that a lot of these briefings are being 228 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: done so that they can leak that they briefed the president. 229 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: That makes use to brief the president. But I think 230 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: one of the things that Trump found so frustrating was 231 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: his intelligence agencies would brief him and then twenty minutes later, 232 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: it's a story in the New York Times and he's like, man, 233 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: they set me up on this. Remember our buddy Senator 234 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson has talked about this. I don't think it's 235 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: gotten enough attention. But he got briefed so the FBI 236 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: could say they briefed him on the Hunter Biden laptop story. 237 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: If I remember correctly. 238 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: They leaked that they had briefed him about the fact 239 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: that Russian disinformation might be going on, so they could 240 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: make it look like he was somehow a target or 241 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: involved in this. And so I think Trump may not 242 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: want those briefings because he just knows that the stories 243 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: come out and they're trying to paint him into a corner. 244 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: There are certain documents you always want to have an 245 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: order your annual tax return, for example, kids registration at schools. 246 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: For example.

Stock 266 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: market is setting another all time high today. That is, 267 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: if you have a four to oh one k, if 268 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: you have a retirement account. It wasn't very long ago 269 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: that there was a full fledged panic out there in 270 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: the financial markets. In fact, it was in April, and 271 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: we said on this program, hey, keep your head down, 272 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: hold onto your stocks. If you did, you're in great place. 273 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: If you had money on the sideline, as we said, 274 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: it was a good time to buy. You now have 275 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: made since April. This is pretty extraordinary thirty percent return. 276 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: That's about as much as you statistically would make in 277 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: a three or four year window. So if you bought 278 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: the dip, you are now up over thirty percent again, 279 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: if you had dry powder, if you had money sitting 280 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, new record highs. Pretty much every stock 281 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: is surging right now and that's happening today because, and 282 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: this is significant, Jerome Powell, who is I believe, out 283 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a yearly summer event there 284 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: he said basically, Yeah, we're going to have a rate 285 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: cut in September. That would mean your mortgages would be cheaper. 286 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: If you're thinking about buying a home, that would mean 287 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: your rates on credit card, your rates on cars, whatever 288 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: you are borrowing, that would theoretically make a big difference 289 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: for you. Trump has been right about inflation not surging 290 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: and the fact that it's time for rate cuts. And 291 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: here is Jerome Powell basically acknowledging that this morning in Wyoming, 292 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: cut tin. 293 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 6: Our policy rate is now one hundred basis points closer 294 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 6: to neutral than it was a year ago, and the 295 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 6: stability of the unemployment rate and other labor market measures 296 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 6: allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to 297 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 6: our policy stance. Nonetheless, with policy and restrictive territory, the 298 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 6: baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant 299 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 6: adjusting our policy stance. 300 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: That is a lot of gobbly good for many of 301 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: you out there, but it is basically acknowledging that hey 302 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: there's going to be a rate cut, and let me 303 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: pull up the actual the actual projections out there on 304 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: the gambling markets. They do a really good job generally 305 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: speaking of forecasting this, and there now is a basically 306 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: ninety percent chance that you're going to see a rate 307 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: cut on September seventeenth. So that would then mean again 308 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: lower borrowing costs for many of us out there who 309 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: own homes, thinking about buying homes, if you're taking out 310 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: an interest rate on buying a car, or your credit 311 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: card rates whatever they are, looks like a quarter point decrease, 312 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: although there's a possibility of a fifty basis point decrease. 313 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: So that is the expectation. 314 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: Also an expectation that there may be rate cuts in 315 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: October as well. 316 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: So that is. 317 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: An economic outlook for you, you, and that is what is 318 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: propelling stocks to record highs across the board. Here yet 319 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: another thing buck the experts, experts in quotation marks. I 320 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: feel like I need to say that got wrong because 321 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: they had a lot of people panicking in April, and 322 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: I bet sadly, you know you know out there are panicked. 323 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: You know, he didn't panic, and his suspenders and his 324 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: French cuff with his monogram. Uh are, I'm trying to 325 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: remember your actual name. Richard Clay traw R. Richard Travis, 326 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: Richard Clay Travis. Clay Travis didn't panic. I didn't pan either, 327 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 2: but Clay didn't panic. He was like, stay with it, 328 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: stay with it, and it was good advice. Trump said, 329 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I'd never heard this. You were the president's 330 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: Was it was it Trump? Or who wasn't? No, might 331 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: have been one of his I think it might have 332 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: been the president one of his top advisors basically said, 333 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 2: Tesla's on sale. Buy it. You never hear somebody that's 334 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: in your government. By the way, Tesla was on sale. 335 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: He also said, don't be a pain anakin, meaning again, 336 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: I know, because there's so much noise every day, it's 337 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: easy to get fired up. This is my public address 338 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: announcement for the day. You're gonna make about nine percent 339 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: a year if you buy index funds and you hold 340 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: on to them. Now, that doesn't mean you're gonna make 341 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: nine percent every year. You need to have a horizon five, ten, fifteen, 342 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: twenty years. Overwhelmingly, this is the truth. When you try 343 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: and time the market, you tend to sell LOOE and 344 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: buy high. That's an average person out there. And so 345 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: when you get like that frenzy, that drum beat. What 346 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: is the great line I'm going to paraphrase it for 347 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: Warren Buffett be be Oh, I'm not even gonna say it. Well, 348 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to look up the quote because I want 349 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: to make sure be greedy when others are, when others 350 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: are scared, and scared when other are greedy. Basically is 351 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: his investing maxim and guys the greatest investor in the 352 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: history of the United States. So when everybody else is 353 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: screaming buy, be nervous, when everybody else is screaming sell, 354 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: it's the best possible time to go by. That's a 355 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: general contrarian index, but it tends to be true. And 356 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: I think in general what this means is the housing market. 357 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: Hopefully, my biggest hope. 358 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: Is that by next year we have unfrozen that housing 359 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: market and those of you out there that got seven 360 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: percent mortgages are able to refi back into the five 361 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: percent range, and some of you out there with two 362 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: and three percent mortgages, with mortgages back around five you're 363 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: willing to make that shift. Maybe you put your house 364 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: on the market, Maybe a move to a new neighborhood 365 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: because you've got kids that are school age, or your 366 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: kids have left for college and you're moving back to 367 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: a smaller home. We just need to unfreeze the tire pipes, 368 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: for lack of a better way, of the housing market, 369 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: because I think that will unlock a lot of growth 370 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: in our national economy. 371 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: You know, we had that conversation older this week about 372 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: how so much of what you want in life is 373 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 2: entirely attainable if you just do the things you know 374 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: you should do that are not easy to do, but 375 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: you know you should do them. It applies to certainly 376 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: you know your health and fitness. Like last night, I 377 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: discovered that the Jenny's gooey buttercake ice cream in the 378 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: freezer was in fact gluten free. This was not good 379 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: knowledge for me to have, Clay. 380 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: I was not. It's funny you mentioned this because I 381 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: had my sons at the Atlanta Braves, you know, to 382 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: go watch games a few weeks ago, right before school started. 383 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: I had this exact flavor of Jenny's ice cream. They 384 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: have a Jenny's ice cream right by the Atlanta Braves stadium, 385 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: and I gotta. 386 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: Tell you it is unbelievable. He it's shockingly good. It's like, 387 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 2: what do they in this? I can't stop eating it 388 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: and I don't even want to look at it afters Look, 389 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 2: you know, last night I went off plan, as I said, 390 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: It's what I tell my wife. I tell Carrius at 391 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: a honey, I went off plan. 392 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: Is ice cream your thing you eat and you just 393 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: can't say no to it because it's not necessarily mine? Like, 394 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: what is your guilty sin when it comes to food 395 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: where you're just like I just couldn't stop eating it. 396 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: Chocolate, cheese, and ice cream, which is a deadly triad. 397 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell us a tough trio. Yeah, yeah, I'll 398 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: tell you why I can't. Like I went last night 399 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: my son played his first football game of the season 400 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: and they played ninth grade football. So we kicked off 401 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: here in Tennessee for his school, and then we went 402 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: to dinner after the game. We went to go get 403 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: Mexican food. I don't think I can stop eating chips 404 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: and salsa. I don't know how much chips in Salta 405 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: I would have to eat for me to be like 406 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: you know what I've I can't take another chip, don't 407 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it's possible to fill up on chips 408 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: and salsa. 409 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: Like I love Mexican food. I'm not a controversial take 410 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: a lot of us do. Guacamole's a meal, everybody. This 411 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 2: is the problem with it. It's delicious, it's amazing, but this 412 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: thing of like, oh, I'm just gonna have like a 413 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: big bowl of guacamole before my meal. Unfortunately, guacamole is 414 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: like green ice cream. It is really calorie dense. 415 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: I just sat there and look, I can't say no. 416 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that is my flaw. I also like, I 417 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: don't even know if this is a combo that a 418 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: lot of other people are into, but I can avoid it. 419 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: More So, peanut butter and crackers is one of the 420 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: greatest combos in the history of mankind. Peanut butters and 421 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: Graham crackers. If you like the gram, I'd probably just 422 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: made everybody fat. Now that's a combo. That's one of 423 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: the greatest combos to ever exist. But I feel like 424 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I can eat those all day too. But the chips 425 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: and salta combo. I bet I ate ten pounds of 426 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: chips and salcea last night. I never don't have to 427 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: get multiple refills on the chips bowl, and usually it's 428 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: not my wife and my kids that are pounding it 429 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: fat dad here. 430 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: So so what I was saying, though, is that, yes, okay, 431 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: that's funny that you had that flavor of Jenny's ice cream. 432 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: I was so good. I don't know, it was like 433 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: it was one of the Honestly, I would throw pistachio 434 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: under the bus for that Jenny's ice cream. I would 435 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 2: push pistachio ice cream under the waves and pull that 436 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 2: Jenny's ice cream up into the rowboat with me if 437 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: I had to. 438 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: You are getting called out by producer Greg because this 439 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: stuff is evidently very expensive, the Jenny's ice cream, But 440 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: it is so good. 441 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: It is so I look, producer Greg, you know what 442 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: I can. If I have to eat my Jenny's ice 443 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: cream with a top hat and a monocle on, I'll 444 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 2: do it. I don't know what to tell you. If 445 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: the butlers say it Nancy Pelosi taste when it comes 446 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: to ice cream here, I didn't know it was this expensive, 447 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: twelve dollars twelve dollars a pint. So the Pelosi reference 448 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: I remember this well was when Pelosi was doing her 449 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: like it's okay that everyone's locked at home, you can't 450 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: go out during COVID, but you have all she opened 451 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: I think it was like a fifteen thousand dollars Viking 452 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 2: freezer unit. Okay, the one of the most expensive freezer 453 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 2: even knows you could possibly have, like more than a 454 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 2: lot of people's cars, and then opened a giant freezer 455 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: drawer with like ten pints of twelve or fifteen dollars 456 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: Jenny's ice cream in it, and she was like, it's 457 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 2: not that bad during COVID, and everyone's like, you know, 458 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: everyone's completely freaking out. So that's why it's the Pelosi. 459 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 2: It's the Pelosi ice cream. It is on this one. 460 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: You're right, it's so good. Yeah. So what I was 461 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: saying though about on the financial side of it is 462 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 2: it think of it a little bit like ice cream 463 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 2: or a little bit like you know, eating healthy food. 464 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: You know what works. The Clays speaks to you on 465 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: this all the time, and you know what the if 466 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 2: you look at the vast majority of people, over ninety 467 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: percent of people just being disciplined and putting money in 468 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: the market and not touching it until you really need it, 469 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 2: and hopefully you don't need it for ten fifteen twenty years. 470 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: That is the pathway to success. It's like eating a 471 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: you know, a mixed and very diet of whole foods 472 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: of something that either comes from the earth or had 473 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: a mom and dad. So that's kind of a weird 474 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: way to put it, but it's true. You know, you 475 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: either want to eat an animal or something that grows, 476 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: and that's, for the most part, the way to do it. 477 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 2: And if you do it, good things happen. Right. So 478 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: it's like that with finance, because you try to pick 479 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: stocks and you think you're going to be Gordon the 480 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: second coming of Gordon Gecko. You got to remember Gordon 481 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: Gecko was cheating and went to prison in the movie, 482 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: So you don't want to do that. 483 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Most people who beat the market are cheating because it's 484 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: really really hard to beat the market. And usually in 485 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: order to beat the market, you have to have information 486 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: that the rest of the market does not have, which 487 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: allows you to value the market prices better than other 488 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: people would, at least historically over time, it's hard to do. 489 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: Some people like Warren Buffett brilliant able to do it. 490 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: Now this is going to be a bit of a term, 491 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 2: but I think it's so important we have to get 492 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 2: into it, and that is the conversation about how to 493 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: save children to be from abortions, little babies in the womb, 494 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 2: to bring them into this world, to save them from abortion. 495 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: What can we do right now? So many states have abortion. 496 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: As you know, abortions actually went up went up nationally 497 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: after Roe v Way was overturned. So it's a question 498 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: of giving moms better options and help and support and love. 499 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: And that's where Preborn comes in. The Preborn clinics are 500 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 2: out there all over the country and they've been doing 501 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: this for decades and they are giving moms love, support, 502 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: care assistance. And they started out with a free ultrasound 503 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: because they know that when that mother to be meets 504 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: the tiny baby growing in her womb, sees the heartbeat 505 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: and has a conversation about how this is going to 506 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 2: be an incredible decision for her of life and then 507 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: she's gonna have a little boy or girl. It's saving 508 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: lives every day. That's where Preborn is doing. Three hundred 509 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand babies have been saved through this life 510 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 2: giving work and so many mothers have an entirely new 511 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: outlook and have love in their hearts. Because of the 512 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 2: help that they got from Preborn and the amazing little 513 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: boy or girl that they brought into this world. This 514 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 2: is happening every day, but they need your support. They 515 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 2: don't get a dollar from the government, and they're competing 516 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: against the abortion industrial complex, which is so well funded 517 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 2: and has had so much government money it's crazy. So 518 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 2: help save babies right now. You can do it yourself. 519 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: Dial pound two five zero and say the keyword baby. 520 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 2: That's pound two five zero, say baby.

First off, 529 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: for those of you who are soccer fans, if you're 530 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: in Europe football, it's gonna be huge for the US. 531 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: Put us out by the ALEC soccer or not. And 532 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 2: Clay honed in on this one a few moments ago. 533 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: It's such a big draw for businesses, for money for visitors, 534 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: for tourism, for all of that. And it's a good 535 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: look for America. You know, I'll tell you this. I'm 536 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: sure a lot of you have the same thing I get. 537 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: And I think this is a good thing, and I 538 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: think everybody should feel this way. What if I read 539 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: that something bad happens to a tourist in my hometown. 540 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: It ticks me off, you know, it really does, because 541 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: I want and now that was true when I lived 542 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 2: in New York. It's true when I live in Miami now. 543 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: So we want to be able to showcase the greatness 544 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: of American and America cities to the rest of the world. 545 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: It's a pride thing, and I think that's a good 546 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: thing for us to have, right I mean, Clay, someone 547 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 2: goes to Nashville, they're visiting from Japan or Germany or 548 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: Brazil or wherever. You know. You just I think as 549 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: a resident, you always want visitors to have a good 550 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: You want tourists putting dollars into that economy and supporting hotels, 551 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: and you know, you just want them to have a 552 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: good experience. And that brings me to Trump and how 553 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: this is all time together. You'll notice something he taught 554 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: was talking about FIFA, and I know a lot of 555 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: you are like ass soccer or whatever. Just stay with 556 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 2: me on this. Okay, he's talking about the soccer stuff, 557 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 2: but he's also talking about d C. Well, it turns 558 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: out there's some method to the madness, if you will. 559 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: On this one. Trump isn't just gonna do this in 560 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: d C. We got next year the World Cup. They're 561 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: gonna be playing in a lot of these cities. He 562 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: mentioned that, you know, this is DC. Restaurants have closed 563 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: and I have a friend who owned restaurants in DC. 564 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 2: He had to close them because the neighborhood was too 565 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: dangerous and people weren't moving in the levels that they 566 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: had thought, and it was just too difficult, you know, 567 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: they had to deal with too much. So this is 568 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: that's real, I know from someone firsthand, because he went 569 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: into a transitioning area, you know, tried to do that 570 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: urban pioneer thing where you going to an area where 571 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be better. Didn't work. Trump is 572 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 2: cleaning these places up. He's starting with DC and Clay 573 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 2: here he is cut thirty. He says Chicago is next 574 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 2: on the list. Play it. 575 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 4: After we do. 576 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 7: This, we'll go to another location and we'll make it safe. 577 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 7: All so, we're going to make our country very safe. 578 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 7: We're going to make our cities very very safe. 579 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: Chicago's a mess. 580 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 7: You have an incompetent mayor grossly incompetent, and we'll straighten 581 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 7: that one out probably next. That'll be our next one 582 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 7: after this, and it won't even be tough. And the 583 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 7: people in Chicago vis Vice President are screaming for us 584 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 7: to come there. 585 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: They're wearing red hats just. 586 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 7: Like this one, but they're wearing red hats. African American ladies, 587 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 7: beautiful ladies, are saying, please, President Trump, come to Chicago. 588 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 2: Please. 589 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 7: I did great with the black vote, as you know, 590 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 7: and they want something to happen. So I think Chicago 591 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 7: will be our next, and then we'll help. 592 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: With New York and we're going to help with us. 593 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: And I think, really, I think a. 594 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 7: Lot of and a lot of these people that you 595 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 7: see on television, they are including the people in this audience. 596 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 7: They'll say band things about me and then. 597 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: They'll say true, Clay and I love this move, especially 598 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 2: if the DC numbers continue to trend in the right direction. 599 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: I think it's transformative. And I said this, and this 600 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: is what I got ripped for. I said, if it 601 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: works in DC, we should see this expand to other 602 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: cities around the country. And look, if I were governor 603 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: right now of Tennessee, don't have to worry about that Tennesseeans. 604 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: But if I were, and I like Bill Lee a lot, 605 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: and I know we've got a governor's race coming up, 606 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: I would be looking at what's happening in DC and 607 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, what if I deployed the Tennessee National 608 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: Guard in Memphis? What if I gave the Memphis Police 609 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: additional boots on the ground support to the city that 610 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: has the highest murder rate by far in all of 611 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: Tennessee and one of the highest murder rates in the world, 612 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: certainly one of the highest murder rates in right now 613 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: in the country. And Trump mentioned New York, if we 614 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: could have the same wr Listeners, I'm not saying things 615 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: in New York are perfect, but if we could have 616 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: the same murder rate around the world as exists right 617 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: now in New York City, in most of our big 618 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: cities that have way higher rates, I need to pull 619 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: up the rates. We'd probably eliminate fifty percent of the 620 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: murders in this country. I mean, I mean, seriously, if 621 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, remember when you were stunned 622 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: by this, Memphis had more murders than New York City 623 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: in the last astonished years. 624 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 2: Astonishing, Look New York. For all that, people liked you 625 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 2: with that. I still think New York is the greatest, 626 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: is the greatest city all in in America. You can 627 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 2: get mad at me for that, but I still believe it. 628 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: I love New York. I always will. It's run by 629 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 2: some idiots. Recently, it's gone on a little bit of 630 00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: a downturn, but it's not even in the top I 631 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 2: don't think Clay is in the top thirty most dangerous 632 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: cities per capita in this country when you're when you're 633 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 2: looking at all US cities, maybe it's in the top 634 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 2: twenty five or third. I don't think so. I mean, 635 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 2: so it's all about what's relative to New York, a 636 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 2: relative success or a failure compared to it being one 637 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: of the largest, one of the most safe large cities 638 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 2: in not just America, but honestly in the world. I mean, 639 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: there was a period of time where New York was 640 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: getting into conversation with some of the large European capitals, 641 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: and and so that's that's I think worth noting. You're 642 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 2: talking about dangerous, but we all know what it is, 643 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 2: and it's so sad. The dangerous cities perennially. You know, 644 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 2: year in year out, it's d C, Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham. Unfortunately, 645 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: what am I leaving one of my Chicago According to 646 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 2: this the top five per capita, and again per capita, 647 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 2: there's potentially some issues. This was twenty twenty three, so 648 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 2: I don't have the updated twenty twenty four. Memphis was 649 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 2: number one in the entire country per capita of most murders. 650 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 2: Saint Louis was number two, Baltimore number three, Washington, DC 651 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: number four, and Birmingham, Alabama, number five. I just did that. 652 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 2: I basically get it from memory because that's there. They're 653 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: always clay on that list. Chicago has a very high 654 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 2: overall number because it's a large city, but that violence 655 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 2: is mostly concentrated in certain areas of the city. But yeah, 656 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: this is this is something that needs to be addressed 657 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: and think about this. Now, let's set up the Chicago conversation. 658 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 2: Let's assume for a second that what Trump is doing 659 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: in DC and he continues to do even if thirty 660 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: days of data supports what Trump has been up to. 661 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: Even if it's thirty days, why wouldn't Chicago want to 662 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 2: see if they can go I mean, what happens if 663 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 2: he goes thirty days without a murder in DC? You're 664 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: gonna tell me don't want that in Chicago? Incredible, Yes, 665 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: you know you're gonna tell me. I understand, we're not 666 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: there yet, and we have to see where the data goes. 667 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: But they're they're arresting violent felons and serious criminals. They're 668 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 2: putting more people on the streets to prevent crime from happening. 669 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 2: I I can't see this as anything but upside for 670 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: the city of Chicago, except it makes Democrats look like 671 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: cowards who just lack the political will to protect their 672 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 2: own people. And that's a really tough thing for them. 673 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 2: You know, you're you're really going right into the heart 674 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 2: of Democrat power here with Hey, not only do you 675 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 2: guys democrats have bad ideas, you have been allowing your 676 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 2: own people to be killed, raved robbed. You know, all 677 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 2: these things in numbers far what was uh you know 678 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 2: what what should have been expected. Right, It's never gonna 679 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 2: be perfect, but far beyond because you don't want to 680 00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: admit that Republicans had a better option. 681 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: Really, I think that's well said. I would also just 682 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: synthesize it this way. In DC, it was one of 683 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: the epicenters of the Black Lives Matter movement. They demonize police, 684 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: they put on the concrete there, they had a Black 685 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: Lives Matter Memorial Park, and the rate of black murder 686 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: skyrocketed in Washington, d C as BLM was at its 687 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: most active. Now Trump is actually showing what Black Lives 688 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: Matter truly means instead of just having rhetoric. He's going 689 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: out and arresting violent criminals. And as a result, black people, 690 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: who represent ninety four percent of all shooting victims in Washington, DC, 691 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly going to benefit the most from a decline 692 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: in violent crime. And this is true in most big 693 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: cities in America where black and brown people are overwhelmingly 694 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: victims of violent crime. And so if violent crime declines, 695 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: it typically doesn't decline as much in the rich parts 696 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: of town because the rich parts of town already by 697 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: and large have a much lower rate of violent crime. 698 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: So the most of the benefit of crime crackdowns in 699 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: you're to places that actually have the highest crime rates. 700 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: And so Trump is acting to protect black life in 701 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: terms of reality, more so than anyone who was super 702 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: outspoken from BLM. And he's doing it by letting cops 703 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: do their job, which overwhelmingly protects black life as opposed 704 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: to taking it, which was the story of BLM. Think 705 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: about the way he's setting this up, Clay. If you 706 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: have major crime drops in these cities and then there's 707 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: a or where they're doing this for the World Cup, 708 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: it all comes together in a way that looks like 709 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: a stroke of genius from Trump on all fronts. Yeah, 710 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: and closing up that circle on the World Cup. And 711 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: again we'll talk with Andrew Giuliani at two thirty. You 712 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: hit it, but I think it's worth hammering home. Even 713 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: if you hate soccer, even if you're like soccer is 714 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: a game for wossa's and socialists and communists and all 715 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: this stuff, whatever you think. The biggest richest sports fans 716 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: in the world are going to travel to the United 717 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: States for the World Cup, which is going to mean 718 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: the cities that host these events are going to bring 719 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: in tens of billions. I think billions of additional dollars 720 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: in revenue for restaurants, hotels, bars, so many people, uber drivers, 721 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: so many people out there, taxi drivers across the entire 722 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: spectrum of the economic landscape are going to benefit immensely 723 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: from having big events like the World Cup taking place 724 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: next summer. I want to tell you, if you're running 725 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: a business, you want to be able to act with 726 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: all your employees at once. Cell Phone calls work, but 727 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: they don't carry the immediacy necessarily of rapid radios. I 728 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: was talking about this. I went to a great event 729 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: down on the Florida Gulf Coast called Digital Graffiti community 730 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: called Alice Beach Gorgeous. They have a big, awesome event 731 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: there and we walked in and cell phone service sometimes 732 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: a little bit spotty. They were using rapid radios all 733 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: the security guards to communicate with each other. I didn't 734 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: even notice that my wife did. There are so many 735 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: different uses for this, both on individual and a corporate level. 736 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 1: To use this nationwide LTE network, they don't require any setup. 737 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 1: Just pull them out of the box, press a button 738 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: and you can talk.

The media 760 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: market place is evolving rapidly, and we want to be everywhere, 761 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: including all five hundred and fifty five stations from all 762 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: of you out there in all fifty states, so you 763 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 1: can find us on the iHeartRadio app. We are everywhere 764 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of different news stories. Let me hit several 765 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: of them off the top. 766 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 2: Here. 767 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: We have discussed in great detail the Bolton raid, the 768 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: raid on Trump's former security advisor, which took place this morning. 769 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: We don't know a lot of the details associated with it, 770 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: but it is underway. Trump is he still talking. Guys 771 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: talked for over an hour basically in the Oval Office 772 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: surrounding an announcement which we are getting lit up for. 773 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: It is very funny sometimes what the audience gets fired 774 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 1: up about. Because it is a World Cup related event, 775 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: and both Buck and I are proponents of soccer being 776 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: a sport that is worthy of watching. Many of you disagree. 777 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: The Kennedy Center is going to host the group stage 778 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: announcements on December the fifth, and I do think if 779 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: you are of the opinion that America's stature on the 780 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: global stage matters quite a lot. Trump is focused on 781 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to make next year's World Cup one of the 782 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: greatest events the United States has ever hosted, and also 783 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: on making the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics a big 784 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 1: deal as well, in mirrors in some ways the World Cup, 785 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: which we hosted in nineteen ninety four and the Atlanta 786 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: Olympics which we hosted in nineteen ninety six. Some of 787 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: you are letting me know that we have hosted the 788 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: Winter Olympics, and I certainly don't want to shade that, 789 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: but the Summer Olympics is a much bigger deal than 790 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. Way more countries participate, way more viewers 791 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: watch and are involved in that. To integrate the Winner Olympics, 792 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: I hope to get to go what they're having them 793 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 1: out in Park City right in the twenty thirties, if 794 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, And I would love to be able 795 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: to go out and watch some of those events in 796 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: Park City outside of Salt Lake City, which is a 797 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: fabulous there you go place to visit if you have 798 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: never been, and I hope to be able to go 799 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: to that. But twenty twenty six World Cup next year, 800 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: I bet Buck and I will go to some of 801 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: those games. Twenty twenty eight LA Olympics. Texas redistricting is 802 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: currently underway. The votes the Democrats have shown back up 803 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: after saying, oh, we're not going to be there. We've 804 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: got I want to play this cut. We need to 805 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: get her on the show. Virginia governor wins some seers 806 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: in what is turning into a heck of a Donnie 807 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: Brook in Virginia. Virginia has unique gubernatorial processes in place. 808 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,240 Speaker 1: First of all, they have the election the year after 809 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: every presidential election, off year election, so twenty twenty one, 810 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, right now now, and you can only 811 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: serve one term. So Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who has 812 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: done a fabulous job by all intents and purposes and 813 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: would probably be a very big favorite to be re elected, 814 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: is not able to run for a second term. He 815 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: could run in four more years, but you can't serve 816 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 1: back to back. And so when some Seers is running 817 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: against Abigail Spanberger and uh, that is currently underway also, 818 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: and she's got a great ad. Maybe we'll play it 819 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: for you before this show is out, but we need 820 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 1: to get her on the program. Okay, Trump being Trump, 821 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: there are still a bunch of funny clips that are 822 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 1: coming out from that event.

The Trump. 844 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: I do think you and I have hit on this 845 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: a lot. Trump is way funnier than he gets credit for. 846 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 1: I mean, just way way funnier. He doesn't laugh laugh 847 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: like Kamala Harris has that really uncomfortable cackle whenever she 848 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: tries to make a joke. Trump does dead pans a 849 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: lot of his humor. And I think people are just 850 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: not I mean, I understand. Our audience gets Trump's sense 851 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: of humor, but I think a lot of his critics 852 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: don't understand and when he's actually joking and poking fun 853 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: at them, because they've kind of got the idea that 854 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: he's hitler, and so the idea that he would tell 855 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: a joke they don't get. And he's not a haha, 856 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna laugh at my own jokes guy. But he's 857 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:17,479 Speaker 1: very good at deadpan, and so this is very very 858 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,240 Speaker 1: very very funny from the White House a little bit earlier. 859 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: Let me hit you at this buck. You're a New 860 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: York City guy. Cracker Barrel is being universally savaged over 861 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 1: their decision to do away with the They need Sidney Sweeney. 862 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 2: I'm seeing the memes. Cracker Barrel needs Sidney Sweety to 863 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 2: save the brand. 864 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: So I have two questions for you to have some 865 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: fun to start off the day. Here the third hour Here, 866 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 1: after fourteen hours on the air so far this week, 867 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. We have seen the old 868 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 1: white guy, Cracker barrel guy, both the Cracker and the 869 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: Barrel canceled. We have seen the Native American, the Indian 870 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: good looking land of Lake's Lady, remember her used to 871 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: be on the Land of Lakes, butter Aunt, poor Aunt 872 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: Jemima has given up, the Ghost on the Syrup and 873 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 1: Uncle Ben do you remember Uncle Ben from Uncle Ben's 874 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: Rice back in the day. All of them have been 875 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,879 Speaker 1: canceled for being considered to be problematic. If you could 876 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 1: bring back one, who do you bring back? Cracker Barrel Guy, 877 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben or the Indian Landa Lakes Girl. 878 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm probably Indian Landa Lakes Girl. I don't know. I'm 879 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 2: just thrown it out there. 880 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: I don't really have a strong preference that anything that's 881 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: a strong I've got a power ranking here. I know exactly. 882 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 1: I think it's Aunt Jemima. I think an Jemima really 883 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 1: got treated unfairly and she was great on the Pancake Syrup. 884 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,439 Speaker 1: Now I want the Cracker Barrel Guy to come back, 885 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: but I would like to see all four return. But 886 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: I think an Jemima would be my number one draft 887 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: pick here and second part of this in your home 888 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: city of New York. Cracker Barrel decided to reach out 889 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: with all of this going on, and they had a 890 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: public line dancing event in New York City as part 891 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: of their rebranding of correct. 892 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 2: Sorry I'm laughing because I just can't believe. 893 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: That this is real. These marketing people are such morons. 894 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: They did a line dancing event in New York City 895 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: after canceling the logo, after arguing basically that the brand 896 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 1: was outdated, and now they're going to do line dancing 897 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: in New York City. 898 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you it's crazy. AI people talk about 899 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 2: what jobs are going to be under pressure from AI. 900 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 2: I think marketing is going to be a career of 901 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 2: the past in a lot of ways because the tools 902 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:47,240 Speaker 2: of marketing, making things, pulling together research, you know, making logos, brands, 903 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 2: that's going to get a lot easier for everybody. And 904 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: so I believe that you're going to see that also advertising, 905 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 2: the advertising industry more and more that's going to be 906 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 2: brought in house. And with AI you can create logo 907 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 2: and decals and videos and all kinds of things on 908 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 2: your own. So now, I'm sure there are some very 909 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 2: nice conservative marketing people out there, but generally those are 910 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 2: industries that are absolutely dominated by communists and have been 911 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: a huge problem for those of us who work in 912 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 2: conservative media for as long as I've been doing this, 913 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 2: because they block us all the time. They don't want 914 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 2: to work with conservative brands. These Madison Avenue advertising executives 915 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 2: and the rest of it. These marketing executives, they don't 916 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 2: want to work with conservative brands. They bring extremely left 917 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 2: wing politics to things. And so the wreckage that I 918 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 2: think is going to run rough shot through those industries 919 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 2: because of AI is well in a lot of cases. 920 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,720 Speaker 2: It will be a come up in sud is well deserved. 921 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,280 Speaker 1: Have you seen this video yet of the line dancing 922 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,280 Speaker 1: going on in New York City's meatpacking district? 923 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 2: Can I just tell everybody meat meat packing is one 924 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 2: of the trendiest neighborhoods in New York. I think you 925 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 2: would have one of the lowest level of Republican registration 926 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 2: in meat packing probably in all the five boroughs. I mean, 927 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 2: it's up there with Brooklyn, the really blue parts of Brooklyn, 928 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 2: which are ninety plus ninety five percent plus Democrat. So 929 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 2: to roll out the line dancing in meat packing is 930 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 2: quite a thing to do. 931 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 1: I just you know, really what this gets down to, 932 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: And I know it's a silly, ridiculous story, but I 933 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 1: do think it's reflective. They hire these executives who have 934 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: contempt for the customer. That's really what this is about. 935 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: When you decide you're going to rebrand, oftentimes what you're 936 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: saying is the people who like us, we don't like them. 937 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: And this was bud Light. Hey, bud Light's to Freddy. 938 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 1: They have an immature sense of humor. Yeah, most guys do. 939 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: Most normal guys have a little bit of an inappropriate 940 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: and immature sense of humor. Every single person married to 941 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: a man and knows this. Every single person raising a 942 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: son or a grandson knows this. We all men are 943 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,399 Speaker 1: a little bit immature and oftentimes a little bit inappropriate. 944 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: That doesn't make us bad people. In fact, it actually 945 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: makes us somewhat more likable and endearing, because if you 946 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: have a sense of humor, as we've just talked about 947 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,359 Speaker 1: with Trump, sometimes you can have a more effective communication 948 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: strategy with humor than you can with straight aggressive analysis 949 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: of argument. The other thing here, though, Cracker Barrel I 950 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: thought Byron Donald's did a really good job calling in 951 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 1: and talking about this because he had worked there when 952 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 1: he was very good. He's always he's always a fun guest. 953 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: But good idea from Buck. Because he was tweeting about it, 954 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: he was like, you know, shut him a taxi. We'll 955 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: call in and talk about it. But I do think 956 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: I feel this and I see it because you know, 957 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: college foot sometimes get raked over the coals because we're 958 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: seen as rubes, because we're seen as not sophisticated football 959 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: or you know, you're you're not the right kind of 960 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: person to appear oftentimes in television, advertisement or whatever else. 961 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: That's the people who eat at Cracker Barrel, and so 962 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: they have contempt for their audience. And that's why you 963 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 1: do a pop up event in the meatpacking district of 964 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: New York City because that CEO, that's who she wants 965 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: coming to Cracker Barrel. She wants the trendy person from 966 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: New York City who they're never gonna eat at Cracker Barrel. 967 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 2: That's not your base. 968 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: It's old Southerners like me, people who want nostalgia from 969 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: old Southern meals that they might have had in the 970 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: past or that they might remember. 971 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 2: And I just it really it really gets me. 972 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: Angry because you're destroying something that someone built that is 973 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: actually great, and you have contempt for the people that 974 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,320 Speaker 1: have allowed that business to exist. You're turning your back 975 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,799 Speaker 1: on them, and it really fires me up. Honestly, Well, 976 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 1: this is this is progressives all throughout the culture. Their locusts. 977 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,879 Speaker 2: They show up and they just destroy, They take over 978 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 2: and destroy things left and right. California for example, Now, 979 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,040 Speaker 2: no it's not destroyed. California still got a lot of 980 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 2: beautiful stuff and you know, great places to live. But 981 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,359 Speaker 2: in terms of governance, the taxes and all the way 982 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 2: that it's handled, California became became great when it was 983 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 2: a red state. That's when California reached what you know, 984 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 2: it became what it was when it was a reliably 985 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 2: republican state actually, and then Democrats took over, and they 986 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 2: do this in a lot of places. They take over 987 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 2: something that is you know, remarkable, and they make it. 988 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 2: I mean, look at what they did with Twitter. Before 989 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,720 Speaker 2: Elon bought it, Twitter was this cool social media site 990 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 2: and then it just became infiltrated with these progressive, lunatic 991 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 2: left wingers and then they turned into a big social 992 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 2: justice you know, like a nonprofit basically, and we're using 993 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 2: it to discriminate against their political enemies, and they completely 994 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 2: overran that place. I mean, this is why what Elon 995 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 2: boughtered it was so fascinating. You saw this is like 996 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 2: they burrowed in. As I always say, they're an invasive species. 997 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,959 Speaker 2: They don't seek to be in harmony with the right, 998 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 2: with conservatives in these places live in that live neutral space. 999 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 2: That's all nonsense. They want to completely create a political monoculture, 1000 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 2: and unfortunately Clay marketing and advertising, it's kind of like Broadway, 1001 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 2: total political monocultures. There's nothing else allowed except left wing stuff, 1002 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 2: and you know that's that needs to change. I hope 1003 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,360 Speaker 2: it will change. But on the cracker barrel issue too, 1004 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,359 Speaker 2: people were saying, well, who cares or why? No, it's 1005 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 2: not just that the woman who was in charge of 1006 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 2: this of this crappy rebrand effort clearly is like at 1007 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 2: MSNBC watching liberal. That's that's one part of it. Why 1008 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 2: did they want to change it? What was the indicator 1009 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 2: that it was in need of change. It was old, 1010 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 2: it was white, it was southern, that was and those 1011 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 2: things are viewed by the people put in charge of 1012 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 2: the rebrand as inherently negative. That's the point. That's why 1013 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 2: it offends people that they messed with this thing. 1014 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 1: And again we're gonna go to break. But I do 1015 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 1: think that is the only reason the business exists If 1016 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: you take away the Southern charm of Cracker Barrel, there 1017 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,240 Speaker 1: is nothing left that is the foundation of the brand. 1018 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 1: You're never gonna get trans influencers from Brooklyn to show 1019 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 1: up at Cracker Barrel to go eat. They don't like 1020 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: the people who consume their product, and honestly, it is 1021 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 1: malpractice to have people running the company that don't respect 1022 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,240 Speaker 1: the people that consume the product. I mean that's the truth. 1023 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: Look Tunnel the Towers.
