1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back in to Clay and Buck. Trump right now 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: is in Michigan. He's going to be giving a speech 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: in Detroit, Motor City. That's right, right, it's MotorCity, Yeah 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, my wife's hometown. She's up there right now. 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: I wish I could speak to it with tremendous fondness. 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: But I have never been to Detroit, Clay, so I 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: should probably go check that place out. Never been in 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: the city of Detroit before, so I'm gonna I'm gonna 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: go see I might bust out my rhymes. 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 2: Maybe better to put on the target list, especially in 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: the summer. But I've spent a lot of time in Detroit. 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: It's a better city than I think it gets credit for. 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: This is like what I said about Chicago, Carrie and 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: I my first ever time in Chicago. I went in 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: May and it was seventy five degrees and crystal clear 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 1: skies and everything was fantastic. And I'm like, I think 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: I did it, Like I don't know. I don't need 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: to go back to Chicago in January. Now, I had 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: perfect Chicago in May. So maybe I'll go to Detroit 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: this summer. But Trump is there right now, and he's 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: hoping to get the American people, and obviously his administration 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: is very much focused on the economy, and there are 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: some challenges going into this. Of course, there's always going 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: to be economic challenge. No one's ever going to be 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: This is one thing I just want to say, Clay, 26 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: no one's ever gonna wake up be like, you know, 27 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: what's perfect the American economy. I mean, you can be 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: grateful for the fact that America does have the best 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: most dynamic wealth generation machinery for any nation state, for 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: any political entity in the history of the world, and like, 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: we should remember that. But there's always going to be 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: things that you want to change that aren't working right. 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: There's always going to be problems. Okay, that's why we 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: have a government that has to handle these things. They 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: don't do a good job, but at least theoretically that's 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to be doing. I think Trump is, though, 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: doing on the economy a good job. I think he 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: knows that it's absolutely critical for the American people and 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: also for the upcoming mid terms because his agenda becomes, uh, 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: let's just say, a lot harder to implement if they 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: lose control of the House. Of Representatives, they will impeach 42 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: Trump a third I don't even think you and I 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: can have a bet on this one. Right, you agree 44 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna peach Trump a third time if they win 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: the House, right you you agree with that, are gonna 46 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: one hundred percent they're going to impeach him. And uh, look, 47 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: I just wish they would just do it and not 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: even tell us why, Like we're just impeaching him because 49 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: he's so awful. I just feel like the. 50 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: Whole concept of impeachment if you don't have any pathway 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 2: to sixty seven votes, which I don't think by and 52 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: large there will be in any of the lives of 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: any of the people listening right now, then all of 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: it's just a big sham and a big side show. 55 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: Two were Yeah, it's just non impactful. It's like a 56 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: like a vote of censure or something. It's it's sending Trump. 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: It's it's the congressional majority sending Trump a strongly awarded 58 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: letter that he will not care about one bit. But anyway, 59 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: I think that on the on the EC, I mean, 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: we all know that affordability is a is a big challenge, 61 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: and you know there's some polling out there that says 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: that he's at a rough spot right now with the economy. Now, 63 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: it's interesting you look at what the things are that 64 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: he could do. You and I haven't discussed this yet, 65 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: capping credit card interest rates at ten percent. I'm I'm 66 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: of I'm of a I'm of a few minds on this, 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: I would say, and I want to hear what you. 68 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Clay and I haven't pre we haven't. Sometimes we're like 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: texting our ideas back and forth about things. So I'm 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: just going in on this cold. On the one hand, 71 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: I think credit card companies have had far too much 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: lobbying power. They've had Joe Biden doing their bidding in Delaware, 73 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: for example, for longer than I've been alive. The fact 74 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: that they can charge a thirty percent Oh all right, Well, 75 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to put a little pin in our 76 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: credit card discussion. We're going to come back to it, 77 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: all right, claik. We make a promise, we'll come back 78 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: to it. We will return I job we have, we 79 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: have esteemed esteemed caller has joined US. Senator Ted Cruz 80 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: of the Great State of Texas. Senator, it's been a while, 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Happy twenty twenty six, how you doing. 82 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: I am doing fabulous and you'll appreciate it. I'm doing 83 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: particularly well because I enjoyed last night the Texans whipping 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: the Steelers. Ass That just brought great joy to meout 85 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: was the beat down. It vindicated as a little kid 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: growing up in the seventies in Houston. The seventy nine 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: and eighty AFC Championships are still wounds that have not healed. 88 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 3: As the greatest Oilers team we ever had with Earl 89 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 3: Kank Campbell crashed into the Pittsburgh Steelers, so I feel 90 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: like we got a modicum of justice and revenge for 91 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: a decades old wound. 92 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: Well as I know, we have a massive Houston audience 93 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and are number one consistently in the slot Senator cruise. 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: Whatever the people of Houston root for, I root for. 95 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: This is my So if it's the Texans, I'm on board. 96 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: Talk to us if you would, on the serious side 97 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: of things, versa. Actually, can I get you? Can you? 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: It's a longer discussion. I want to ask you about it. 99 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Ron Obviously, I know you're gonna have a lot on that, 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: and I'm getting people right reaching out to me saying 101 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: family members, friends of mine, whoever, either themselves, or they 102 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: have friends or family who are in Iran are desperate 103 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: for some kind of help. They full up what. We'll 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: get to that in one second. It's a smaller thing, 105 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: but affordability is a huge thing. The credit card ten 106 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: percent cap, what do you make of that center? Do 107 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: you take a very straightforward approach to finances in the 108 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: American people's budgets. 109 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: Look, we've tried that approach in the past. Both Nixon 110 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: and Carter tried to approach very similar and it didn't work. 111 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: When you cap prices, what you end up doing is 112 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: you exclude a whole bunch of people from the market. So, 113 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: you know what, if you're rich, if you have great credit, 114 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: a cap at ten percent does not limit your ability 115 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: to get credit because you've got good enough credit that frankly, 116 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: you're not paying ten percent anyway. The people that will 117 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: get hurt by a ten percent camp are people who 118 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: are low income, people who are struggling to get credit, 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: people who have bad people who have a record of defaults. 120 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: And if you cap it at ten percent, what it's 121 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: going to mean is they're not going to be able 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: to get any credit cards at all. Basically, you're taking 123 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: away credit cards from every person for whom the credit 124 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: risk is greater than a ten percent rate justifies. And 125 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: look it, you know, for many people, if you've got 126 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 3: a higher interest credit card, you're doing that because you've 127 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 3: got bills. Maybe you've got to pay rent, maybe you've 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: got to pay pay by groceries that week, maybe you've 129 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: got to pay for you know, your kid to get braces. 130 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: And if you can't get a credit card, it will 131 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 3: drive every one of those people to an even worse 132 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: credit option, whether it is a payday loan or or 133 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: whether it's a loan shark down the street. And so 134 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: I think the law of unintended consequences is really quite 135 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: significant here, and I think there are a lot of 136 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: downside risks. 137 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go into Iran and what's going on in 138 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: the country right now. President Trump earlier today had a 139 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: very aggressive statement that he made, and I see Ambassador 140 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: Mike Waltz just tweeted in the last little bit, the 141 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: Iranian people are chanting death to Kamanee rather than death 142 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: to America. Freedom is in the air thanks to President 143 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: Trump's leadership. If President Trump called you and he may 144 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: well do it and said what should I do? What 145 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: is the appropriate tack to establish here right now? What 146 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: would you tell him? 147 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: Well, listen, I think what the president is doing right 148 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: now is exactly right. We are at a moment of history, 149 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: an incredibly consequential moment. I think there's a very real 150 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: possibility that in the next ninety days we will see 151 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: but the regime in Iran fall, and I think we 152 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: could see the regime in Cuba fall. Those two together, 153 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: if both oppressive dictatorships fell, would utterly transform the geopolitical 154 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: frame worldwide. We are seeing millions of people standing up 155 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: against the Ayatola Kameni, and I think we could see 156 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: that that regime fall within weeks and even days, or 157 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: even hours. It could fall today. It is that precarious. 158 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: And I got to tell you, Clay, the reason for that. 159 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: Let's go back a few months ago to the Twelve 160 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: Day War. One of the things I said at the 161 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: time is that I predicted that the regime I believe 162 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 3: would likely fall as a consequence of that, because there 163 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: are real world consequences to losing a war. Losing a 164 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: war is not just a communications problem. It's not just 165 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: a messaging problem. It is reality that in the Twelve 166 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: Day War, Iran utterly and completely lost. They were decimated. 167 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: And if you're an Islamist dictator, if there is anything 168 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: possibly worse than losing a war, it is losing a 169 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 3: war to Israel. And dictatorships remain in power by convincing 170 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 3: their people that they cannot be defeated, that they are omnipotent. 171 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 3: And the crushing defeat in the Twelve Day War destroyed 172 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: that false image. It showed to the people of Iran 173 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: that the dictatorship is a paper tiger. And I think 174 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: we are seeing incredible heroes and patriots standing up. There 175 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: was one young woman a couple of days ago who 176 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: was lighting her cigarette by lighting on fire a picture 177 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 3: of the Iahtola and using that to light her cigarette. 178 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: That is incredible courage, because understand if the Iatola remains 179 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: in power, they are likely to find her, to hunt 180 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: her down and to torture and kill her. She knows 181 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: exactly what she's doing and she is very literally risking 182 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: her life to try to seek freedom. And so you know, Clay, 183 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 3: you tweeted a couple of days ago that what is 184 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 3: happening in Iran is the most important thing in the 185 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 3: world right now, you are exactly right. Iri tweet. Did 186 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: you In fact, I read your tweet on my podcast 187 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: Verdict with Ted Cruz. This is a moment. There are 188 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: very few things, if anything, that could enhance American national 189 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: security more than seeing the Iyatola and the Malas removed 190 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: from power by the Iranian people. Because the Iatola, he 191 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: routinely chants death to America. He is an Islamist, theocratic, genocidal, 192 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 3: homicidal dictator. And seeing him remove from power. He has 193 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: killed a vast number of American servicemen and women. He 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: has waged war against America for years and for decades. 195 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: And I think we may well be on the precipice 196 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: of the Iranian people getting enough is. 197 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Enough, Center Cruise. We certainly are at a place where 198 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: there could be a huge pivot point in Iran, and 199 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people listening right now are 200 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: very enthusiastic about the prospects of a different regime there 201 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: led by the Iranian people. But of course we have 202 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: the concern about intervention. What would it look like, what 203 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: would it be to the point that Clay or the 204 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: question that Clay posed to you a moment ago, if 205 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: the commander in chief, we know that you and President 206 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: Trump talk. We know you guys have each other's phone numbers, etc. 207 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: If you were to call you in five minutes and 208 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: say Ted, I'm thinking about blowing up the following targets, 209 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: which I think are at the absolute heart of the 210 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: machinery of murder against these protesters right now, Ier GC headquarters, besiege, 211 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Do you think that's the move? 212 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: No US boots on the ground, But if missills have 213 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: to fly through the sky to help the Iranian people 214 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: achieve freedom, would you be in favor of it? 215 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: Possibly? It depends on the details of the specifics. I 216 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 3: am talking to President Trump frequently throughout this process and 217 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 3: encouraging I think the path he's following in Iran makes sense. 218 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: I spent the entire day yesterday with Pete Hegseth. We 219 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: flew on peace plane back from Brownsville from SpaceX to 220 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: DC late last night. I spent much of that plane 221 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: ride talking with Pete about Iran and what we should 222 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: be doing. And in my view, number one, we should 223 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: we be doing everything we can to encourage the revolution 224 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: from the American people. That includes cyber efforts. I think 225 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: if suddenly the Iranian regimes, if they're surveillance, if their radar, 226 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: if their tools of oppression cease to operate, that is 227 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: a very good thing. Covert action, I think that is 228 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: a very good thing. In terms of a kinetic strike, 229 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: at actual military strike, it might make sense to do so, 230 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 3: but it would depend on the specific target and it 231 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: would have to be limited. Right now, this is a 232 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: revolution from the Iranian people. We want it to be 233 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: a revolution from the Iranian people. And so if there 234 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: were a particular kinetic strike, if for example, the regime 235 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 3: we're murdering protesters in one specific location and we could 236 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: stop them from doing that, we could engage in a 237 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: limited matter to stop the mass murder of protesters. I 238 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: think that could well make sense, but we do need 239 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: to think about the day after that. If the revolution succeeds, 240 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: and I pray that it does, then the question is, okay, 241 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 3: who governs Iran going forward? And that's not an easy question. 242 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: There could be a civil war, there could be lots 243 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: of unrest, lots of bad outcomes can happen, and I 244 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 3: think it is a much much better situation. And in 245 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 3: the tomorrow world. If the ayah Toola was overthrown by 246 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 3: the American people who were fed up with his oppression 247 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: and tyranny and Islamic dictatorship. Then if people say, oh, 248 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: the United States just toppled the head of Iran, that's 249 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: a much harder situation to have a good stable government. 250 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: And so I think President Trump is doing this just right. 251 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: If you contrast, look in two thousand and nine the 252 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 3: Green Revolution, the people of Iran were standing up and 253 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: Barack Obama was president. He did everything he could to 254 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: douse water on those flames and to tell the protesters, 255 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 3: we will not stand with you. What the President is 256 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: saying is America's with you, the people of Iran. And 257 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: he also said today this was very important. He said, 258 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: the regime henchmen that are engaging in atrocities, that are 259 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: murdering and torturing people, keep their names because they will 260 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: be held accountable. That's a major way to protect the 261 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: protesters to have. If you're an Iranian soldier and you're 262 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: being told open fire on the crowd suddenly, if you 263 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: think I'm going to be put in front of a 264 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 3: court and tried in another month if I do this, 265 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: that's part of how revolutions succeeds. So I think we 266 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: should do everything we can to encourage it without taking 267 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: it over, while leaving the Iranian people as the prime movers, 268 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: that this is their country and they should be determining 269 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: their future. 270 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: Quick question here to close with you, Senator Ted Cruz, 271 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: you were with Elon yesterday SpaceX as well as Secretary 272 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: of War Pete Hegseath. How good of information do we 273 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: have on the ground. They've shut down the Internet, they've 274 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: shut down all communication. How much do you think we 275 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: know about what might be happening? There said potentially within 276 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: hours he could be overthrown. Do we have that kind 277 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: of intel? 278 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: Look, we don't know specifically. I think it could be imminent, 279 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: just based on the size of the protest, on the energy, 280 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: on the weakness of the regime. I will say one 281 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 3: of the most important things that happened is that Elon 282 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: has activated Starlink over Iran and has provided it for free, 283 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: which is providing communication. The regime has shut down the Internet, 284 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: the regime has tried to shut down television. Actually, ironically, 285 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 3: do you guys know the main thing? Do you know 286 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 3: what the Ayatola is broadcasting all over Iran right now? 287 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: In Persian Tucker Carlson, he's. 288 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: Playing Tucker Carlson. That's what the ayatola is playing translated 289 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: into Persian. I talked about it my podcast yesterday. Look, 290 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 3: you and I have both known Tucker a long long time. 291 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: In all seriousness, if an Islamist murderer who hates America 292 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: views your words as the propaganda he wants to use 293 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 3: to silence and oppress his people, that's got to be 294 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: a real side. Maybe you're on the wrong path. Maybe 295 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: you need to rethink what you're saying, because I'll tell you. 296 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: At the same time, my podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz 297 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: are download numbers of skyrocketed in Iran. I think people 298 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 3: are using starlink to download the podcast. And if my words, 299 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: if your words are encouraging the protesters, that you can 300 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: overthrow these desk butots, that's that. I am very happy 301 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: with the side of history you and I find ourselves on. 302 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, thank you so much, and tell the good 303 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: folks of Aron to listen to Clay and Buck while 304 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: you're at it.

We thank 321 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 2: all of you for hanging out with us. We are 322 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: talking about a lot of different stories out there that 323 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 2: continue to get much attention Minneapolis. The Supreme Court decision 324 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 2: coming now in the wake of the oral arguments that 325 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: were heard in the trans sports related issue. But Buck, 326 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: you said, as we were I think it was the 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: last hour right before we had someor Ted Cruz on. 328 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 2: We were discussing the credit card debt idea and the 329 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: in particular, President Trump tweeted that he was going to 330 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: try to cap credit card interest rates at ten percent 331 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 2: right now, I believe the interest rates have crept up 332 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: often north of twenty percent is the current credit card rate. 333 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: So I've got a couple of thoughts on this. To me, Basically, 334 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: what we talk about when we talk about credit card 335 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: interest rates is what is the rate that we will 336 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: allow to happen? Right Because we're basically capping them at 337 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: twenty five percent ish and saying that's as high as 338 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: we will allow them to get. I think they're capped 339 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: to thirty six percent. Thirty six percent? Is that as 340 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: high as it's allowed under traditional credit cards? 341 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I have credit cards that are 342 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: at like twenty nine, so I mean it's definitely higher 343 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: than just like twenty it's upwards of thirty percent. 344 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: It may partly be state determinant too. I will be 345 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: honest with everybody out there, I am not an expert 346 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: on credit card interest rates or what the rates are 347 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: that are allowed, and I know they're different depending on 348 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 2: where you might live or what your overall credit rate is. 349 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 2: First of all, I don't know that the president has 350 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: the authority to be able to do this legally. I 351 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 2: know there's bills out there that would potentially cap this. 352 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz said, hey, here's my concern. He was just 353 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: on with this last hour when you asked him the 354 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 2: next question, to what extent does that curtail the amount 355 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: of interest that is available in the market, Because I 356 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: think what the credit card companies would argue is the 357 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: reason we have to have rates that high is because 358 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: if we're going to extend credit to people that may 359 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: not pay us back, we have to have an ability 360 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: to make sure that we make the best possible profit 361 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: that we can to alleviate the risk that comes with 362 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: making a credit card credit available to everyone. Now, you 363 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: just said, Buck, your credit card interest rate you think 364 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: is twenty nine percent on your credit card. I don't 365 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: even know what my credit card interest was. I think 366 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: that's if I miss a payment. Yeah, then they jacket 367 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 2: they skyrocket it up if you miss one payment. 368 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: They've changed some of this stuff. I mean, look, I'll 369 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: just tell you this I have. I was in my 370 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: thirties and had a net worth in the hundreds of 371 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: dollars at once. Yes, okay, so this is not like, 372 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: oh I always paid much. I had basically a paycheck 373 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: to paycheck existence until like five years ago, maybe six 374 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: years ago, something like that. So what I'm saying is 375 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: I never carried a credit card balance that entire time. 376 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Never once did you just pay cash or you had 377 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: a debit card. I just paid it off every month. 378 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Every month I paid off my credit card. 379 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, not that you didn't use credit cards And 380 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: you say you didn't have a balance, You mean you 381 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: paid it off every month. You get sure that it 382 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: was not I'm saying I never. I never ran up 383 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: a debt on credit card companies. When I had no 384 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 2: money and when it would have been a lot of 385 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: fun to go buy like a new Jet Ski, I 386 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: did not do. 387 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: No. Yeah, I understand some people it's grocery. Some people. 388 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 1: I get all this, but but what I'm pointing out is, uh, 389 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: you you really don't want to run up credit card 390 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: debt and it should be something that people are far 391 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: more educated on because the rates are super high and 392 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: it is non dischargeable in bankruptcy, which is the other 393 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 1: part of this. So I've been on both sides. I 394 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: also think that some of the credit card stuff that 395 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: they do. I actually got hit by this once when 396 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: I was in my twenties. They would change the do dates. 397 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, kind of arbitrarily. So I'm just going to 398 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: be clear. The credit card companies have engaged in predatory 399 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: behavior that has happened, that has been a real thing 400 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: in recent years. They have had to be they have 401 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: had to be told stop acting like a loan shark mobster. Okay, 402 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 1: moving the do date a round in the hopes that 403 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: somebody's auto payment is then late and then they can 404 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: hit you with the thirty percent APR. That's a scumbag, 405 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: honestly fraudulent move, Like it's fraud to do this, and 406 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: the credit card companies had to get hit, had to 407 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: get slapped with that, So they're not the good guys. 408 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm not taking to the good guys. But what Ted 409 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: Cruz says is also true. If people need access to credit, 410 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: what are you going to do? Like you get into 411 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: this moral hazard thing, Like what do you do if 412 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: somebody needs to have an emergency thousand dollars that they 413 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: can go to on their credit card for whenever something 414 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: comes up, what are you gonna do. You're gonna force 415 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: people to give them the money. You're gonna force people, 416 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna force credit cards to try to give a 417 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: lower rit by the way, it's just gonna be. It's 418 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: like price controls. They're gonna squeeze at one end and 419 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: then you're gonna get squeezing at the other end. This 420 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: is what ends up happening. The money has to come 421 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: from somewhere. 422 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 2: I would also point out banks will screw you at 423 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: every opportunity that they can too. So a lot of 424 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: people talk about, you know, unfair fees that are hitting 425 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: them on credit cards. Banks hit you on unfair fees 426 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: all the time too. My number one advice, to the 427 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 2: extent that you can you can do it is and 428 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: I think most a lot of financial advisors out there 429 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: would say this, you are way less likely to spend 430 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: money if you use cash because in your brain, this 431 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: is just the way we're all wired. 432 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Cash. You feel it. 433 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 2: In a way that you do not when it comes 434 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 2: to paying with a credit card. And the reason why 435 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: the credit card industry works is because people live beyond 436 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: their means and they take advantage of you. You ever 437 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: fly on an airplane, you ever notice how often they 438 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: walk around trying to get you to sign up for 439 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: credit cards on an airplane. It's because the airlines now 440 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: make as much money just about their credit cards as 441 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 2: they do actually off of the airline itself. It's one 442 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: of the craziest things out there. If you're ever on 443 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 2: a college campus. The reason why they're trying to give 444 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 2: you away a sweatshirt to get you to sign up 445 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 2: is because they know what the long term value of 446 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: this is going to create for them, because the numbers 447 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: are the numbers a little bit like a casino. Once 448 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: they get you signed up, they know that you're going 449 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: to be worth a decent amount to them going forward. 450 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 2: Now I said it, I don't know that Trump has 451 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: the ability to do it. 452 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 5: Well. 453 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: What I will say is this in conjunction with Trump 454 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: last week talking about trying to limit the number of 455 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: homes that people could buy, meaning big companies buying up 456 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: all the homes. This is Trump pivoting because I think 457 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: his team has recognized that the twenty twenty sixth election 458 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: is going to be decided on affordability, and people are 459 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: angry over how much prices went up during Joe Biden, 460 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: and so sometimes you put out policies that are populist 461 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: in nature, that don't necessarily have a chance of happening, 462 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 2: just to show people that you're listening. To them and 463 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: hearing their complaints. 464 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: That's exactly right that this is the Trump gambit. This 465 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: is Trump saying something that's going to do a few 466 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: things without getting into the details right now, because he's 467 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: moving the focus and changing the pressure here. So you 468 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: point out, Clay people feel like credit card companies, and 469 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: that's why I said what I said before. But I 470 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: will tell you guys something. This is actually a personal, 471 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: little personal anecdote. This is true when I was in 472 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: the CIA, and I think I made thirty eight thousand 473 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: dollars my first year in the CIA, something like that, 474 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: And so I had no money and my parent, I 475 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: had no money set aside for me or anything like that. Okay, 476 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: So I just started my job at the CIA. I 477 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: moved because I couldn't afford the rent increase in the 478 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: initial apartment, which was the cheapest studio apartment in this 479 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: massive building living in DC. I move and Capital one 480 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Clay I had a zero balance, because I always had 481 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: a zero balance. Capital One sent via snail mail to 482 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: my old address a five dollars account closing charge. I 483 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: had never you know, was this in the fine print 484 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: of my contract somewhere? 485 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 486 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: Whatever, But I shut down the credit card when I 487 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: moved because I was like, I never used this card. 488 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: It was an emergency card that my parents set up 489 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: for me when I was in college that I actually 490 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: never used one time. It was like, use this if 491 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, you break your leg, you're in the er. 492 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: It was like, that's a great glass emergency card. 493 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: You need money and you and I realized I had 494 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: a five hundred dollars limit, which isn't a hell of 495 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: an emergency, let's be honest, So I shut it down. 496 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: They sent a five dollar charge to shut it down. 497 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: I found I heard nothing about this. I got a 498 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: call eighteen months later from a collection agency saying I 499 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: owed them like three hundred dollars now and my credit 500 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: was wrecked over five dollars. That the notification they sent 501 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: was completely unsatisfactory. They could have emailed me then ever 502 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: emailed me. I mean, there were a whole credit card 503 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: companies act like scumbag sometimes. It's my point that was 504 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: a total that was a total scumbag move. 505 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: This is twenty years ago, and they will screw you 506 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 2: on your credit rating, which is ultimately probably the number 507 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: one most valuable financial asset that most of us have, 508 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: and a lot of times you have like parking ticket 509 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: on there, or you've got the cancelation fee on there 510 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: that they're tanking you with. 511 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: This was the only missed payment of any kind like 512 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: this I have ever had of any kind. I've always 513 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: been Look, I'm gonna be honest with you, he's a 514 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: competitor already. I love the Dave Ramsey approach on this. 515 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm very you know, pay cash when you can. You're 516 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: not caring a balance. The whole point is the discipline. 517 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be frustrating 518 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: that you can't buy the jet ski right now. Okay, 519 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: you save, you figure it out, you get there the 520 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: right way. You don't go by that you know that 521 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: firebird or that I don't know, you know Ford Mustang 522 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: that goes room room room super loud, and pay like 523 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: a twenty percent APR on the money like that's in 524 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: You can't. These are bad decisions. Okay, they're bad decisions. 525 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: So at some point or at some level, you want 526 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: people to be disincentivized from doing some of these things, 527 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: and a high APR does that. But I'm just saying 528 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: I also understand this. Why is it non dischargeable, but 529 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: they would say if it wasn't non dischargeable, that would 530 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: have to then factor into the risk profile and you'd 531 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: have the same problem of not having the higher rates. 532 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: This is a complicated issue. But here on Trump Clay 533 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: due to your point, because I think it's brilliant when sorry, 534 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: I just got fired up because I still remember opening. 535 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: I still remember that call from the collection agency and 536 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: I was just like, you scumbags. 537 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: You know, I has experience that where it is completely 538 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: unfair and then we're going to take advantage of you. 539 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like and I'm like, my credit's a rum. 540 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: The credit card company is getting like a sixty extra 541 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: twarn't on five dollars for nothing, for literally nothing for 542 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: shutting down an account as absurd anyway, And yeah, I 543 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: think I wouldn't have qualified for a Fannie May loan 544 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: based on this one thing at that time. That's how 545 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: bad it was, because it had gone on for like 546 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: a year, and once it goes on, once it goes 547 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: beyond ninety days, you're screwed. My point is Trump understands this, 548 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: and he knows that he's putting heat on the credit 549 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: card companies, and he knows whether he has the right, 550 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: or rather the legal ability or not Clay, he has 551 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: the political ability right now, can maybe get some concessions 552 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: out of them, maybe get them to not do some 553 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: of the grosser stuff they do, maybe move them in 554 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: the right direction. So that's the Trump gambit as I 555 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: see it. 556 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 2: I would also point out, we're basically making a policy 557 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: decision on what we're allowing the credit card companies to 558 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 2: set their rates at. We're saying, like, you couldn't have 559 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: a seventy five percent interest rates on a credit card, right, 560 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: we wouldn't allow it. So to some extent, it is 561 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 2: just a policy choice because I'm sure, look, credit card 562 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 2: companies would take a seventy five percent interest rate if 563 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: they could right yearly APR. They would take it as 564 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 2: high as they possibly can. This is to where people say, Okay, 565 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: we're going to balance this, and Trump is saying, to 566 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: his credit, this is a one year thing, which also 567 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 2: looks even more political. 568 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: Right to be fair, Oh, the one. 569 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: Year happens to correspond with the midterm, when you'll be 570 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: on the ballot basically for the last time of your 571 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: political career. Again, it's political in nature. I think it's 572 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: acknowledging affordability related issues. I'm not sure how impactful in 573 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: terms of getting it to actually occur. This will be 574 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: you guys can weigh in by the way eight hundred 575 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: two two two aighta two.

There, send us 605 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: your thoughts if you have also credit card horror stories. 606 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: Bruce Rally was like shock in mind that they could 607 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: be so ruthless. But yes, indeed they can be quite 608 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: quite aggressive, of those credit card companies, and they are 609 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: enabled by politicians who Joe Biden is the worst of 610 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: the worst when it comes to this, because what else, 611 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: who else do you represent the state of Delaware? Really, 612 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: you're representing credit card companies. That was Joe Biden's primary 613 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: constituency for his entire forty something years or whatever it 614 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: was in the Senate before he became the worst president 615 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: of the twenty first century, which isn't really saying much. 616 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: I think probably the worst president. I'm comfortable saying Biden 617 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: was the worst president in Well, people might say Jimmy Carter. 618 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: You go back to the Jimmy Carter thing. I think 619 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: Biden's worst. Carter had some worse than Jimmy Carter. I 620 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: think I think Carter had some. He had some dignity, yeah, 621 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: he had. He was a man who had you know, 622 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: he was honorable in his way. He just was wrong 623 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: about everything. Biden was a scumbag who was also wrong 624 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: about everything. So I think the scumbaggery takes him into 625 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: the number one slot. I think, worst president we've had 626 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: in one hundred years. 627 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think historically he's going to be up there 628 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 2: with the James Buchanan who was president when the Civil 629 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: War was allowed to start right before Abraham Lincoln, which 630 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: is a history NERD take there for you, And. 631 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: Is it surprising that a guy who they even had 632 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: to admit essentially had a brain that was semi functional 633 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: because of dementia or whatever the diet knows this would 634 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: be was bad as president, of course he was now 635 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: he I mean it was he was dumb thirty years ago. 636 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: So now he's dumb and his brain doesn't work because 637 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: of old age. That's going to be a bad combo. Yes, 638 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: no doubt. 639 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: By the way, I wanted to mention this because we 640 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 2: were talking about not that we're in any way the greatest, 641 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 2: the greatest advocates or the greatest experts when it comes 642 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 2: to financial decisions. I wanted to mention something that I 643 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 2: didn't even know, and I bet a huge percentage of 644 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 2: our audience doesn't even know as we set the table. 645 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 2: By the way, latest on Minneapolis. President Trump is speaking 646 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 2: right now at the Detroit Economic Club. Will go live 647 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 2: to that in a few minutes and hear what he's 648 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 2: saying there. The credit card death discussion, Buck, I used 649 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 2: to wonder, I didn't they don't teach you anything about mortgages. 650 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: We were talking about the lack of financial literacy that 651 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 2: comes from schools, and it is incredibly unfortunate that that 652 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 2: is the reality that we face. Here is a crazy, 653 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 2: crazy take that I think a lot of people will 654 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 2: never actually go into. Do you know that when you 655 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 2: get a mortgage thirty year or fifteen year mortgage, the 656 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: first several years of your mortgage payments go look at 657 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 2: the amortization table. I don't even think most people even 658 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 2: know what an amortization table is. Almost all of your 659 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 2: mortgage payments is interest. So if you wonder why is 660 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 2: a bank always so happy to have people REFI, it 661 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 2: can be a very good decision because you can go 662 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: from a seven percent rate down to a four percent 663 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 2: rate or whatever. I'm not saying it's not a smart decision. 664 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 2: It often is, but they're giving up that rate because 665 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 2: you go back to just paying interest to them. Most 666 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: people never complete a thirty year mortgage. Some thirty year 667 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 2: mortgages for the first decade, almost all of it is interest. 668 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 2: And then when you look at the amortization table, by 669 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 2: the time you get to the end of a thirty 670 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 2: year mortgage, you're actually only then starting to pay principle. 671 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: And I don't think I bet a huge majority of 672 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 2: this audience pays a mortgage. I bet very few people 673 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 2: have ever actually looked at the amortization table to recognize, 674 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, it's nearly a decade of a thirty 675 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 2: year mortgage, where all I'm doing is paying interest. You're 676 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 2: not actually getting to the principle at all. And then 677 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 2: people say, well, wait a minute, my value. Yeah, hopefully 678 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: your overall value of your home is going up, so 679 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: you're building equity because that home you bought for three 680 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: hundred thousand a decade later hopefully is worth four hundred 681 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 2: thousand or something. So you're getting equity that way, but 682 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 2: you're not actually paying it in a way that gets 683 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: your equity. And I just don't think most people even 684 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: understand that. Again, financial literacy probably something along with historical literacy, 685 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 2: that so many people are getting preyed upon because they 686 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: don't have the basic knowledge that is necessary. 687 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 5: Well. 688 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: Also, it reminds me of a very viral tweet from 689 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: a long time ago. I would give credit for it, 690 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: but I don't remember, but I think it was a 691 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: comedian and who said, I'm so glad I studied parallelograms 692 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: in high school. This was in April. Obviously it'll come 693 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: in so handy during parallelogram season, as in tax season, 694 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: as in now we're all supposed to become accountants in 695 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: our own right and know all these things, and this 696 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: incredibly complicated tax code and remember you are very the 697 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: same people that will tell you all illegals, no one's illegal. 698 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: You can come into the country and take whatever you want, 699 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but you better pay your darn taxes. 700 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: Because if you're part of the productive class, if you're 701 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: part of the now less than half of American households 702 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 1: that even pay into the tax system instead of get 703 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: benefits from the tax system, then you are a cow 704 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: to be milked, and you are to shut up about 705 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: it and to just take take that and h and 706 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: deal with it. So I think that people are are 707 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: rightly very their interest is piqued, if you will, over 708 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: the I mean the credit card rate issue, because it 709 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: goes to a lot of what we see right now, 710 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: which is companies, corporations have things written in a way 711 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: that are beneficial to them. And I would say this clay, Okay, 712 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: people will point out, they'll say, well, but what about credit. 713 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: You won't get credit to por you know, to people 714 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: that need it unless you have these rates. Well, then 715 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: why do we have a cap on it at all? 716 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: Right now? We do and people are getting credit cards. 717 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 2: That's so we're made to this policy decision on some 718 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 2: level that we're okay at twenty five percent, but we're 719 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 2: not okay with forty five percent. That's right, there is 720 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: a level that we're willing to accept. 721 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: And this is where you see it's a bit like 722 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: the minimum wage discussion too, where people will say, well, 723 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,919 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have any minimum wage, okay, but we do, 724 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: and so if we do have one, we're going to 725 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: argue over what it should be. And if we're going 726 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: to have a cap, you know, we're if you're my 727 00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: very simply put, if you're drawing a line, you get 728 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: to decide, you get to argue for where the line 729 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: should be drawn. There are some people who will be 730 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: there should be no line, Okay. That's a different argument though, 731 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: because if there is a line, we're gonna argue over 732 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: where that line is. We're going to debate where that 733 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: line should be. And I think Trump raises that and 734 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: it's a very much like I said, the Trump gambit, 735 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: because maybe it's that again. I think I saw that 736 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: thirty I did a quick rock search. Thirty six percent 737 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: is the like statutory cap right now on credit cards. 738 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: It certainly is around thirty because I've seen twenty nine 739 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: percent penalty aprs on credit cards that I have, not 740 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: that I ever hit those penalties because I've refused to 741 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: carry a credit card balance. But Clay, if we could 742 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: get it down to twenty percent, would what would that mean? 743 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: Would that just mean that that credit card stocks take 744 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a hit and have to, you know, 745 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: reassess some of their they're still going to give credit 746 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: card you know, they're still making money. I understand that 747 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: at some level there's charge offs and you're gonna say, 748 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: but that's non dischargeable in bankruptcy and you have this 749 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: huge collections in that's going to continue to function as 750 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: it does. So remember they make money off of transaction 751 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: fees every time. They're not supposed to do this. Some vendors, 752 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: every time you go and you swipe that card, they're 753 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: taking a percentage of the transaction. 754 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 2: Or three percent typically every single time you swipe a card. 755 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: And that's an amazing business to be in, right, But 756 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: some places won't take the higher I think AMX tends 757 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: to have the higher the higher swipe fee, and so 758 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: they'll say, we don't Tay, you've come across this, right, Clay, 759 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: we don't. I've been to restaurants they'll say, we don't 760 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: take American Express here, they're not supposed to do that, 761 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: by the way, Like there there's actually and they're not. Well, 762 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: I should say, they're not supposed to charge you more 763 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: for using a credit card if you have a credit 764 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: card contract with them. But some places will do that too. 765 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we charge a credit card fee. That's 766 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: actually a violation of their credit card agreement. 767 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 2: By the way, their power is only growing too, because 768 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,760 Speaker 2: young people never have cash. Yes, I mean and Apple, 769 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 2: for instance, I am almost to the to the point 770 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 2: sometime where I would rather just go out with my 771 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: phone and use Apple Pay. What you know, Look, Apple 772 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 2: is really good at figuring out how ways to monetize 773 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 2: everything that you do, and so they could get you 774 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 2: to pay from your phone. Ten years from now, I'm 775 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 2: not sure that there's hardly gonna be anybody out there 776 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 2: paying with cash. And I'm gonna be honest with you. 777 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 2: I love when I get in an uber or a 778 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 2: way mow or a Lyft whatever it is. Have you 779 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 2: been in a cab where you basically start to get 780 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 2: out of the cab because you're so used to being 781 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: charged automatically on your phone. Everybody out there around our 782 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 2: age certainly younger, probably around our age, because we at 783 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 2: least used cash at some point in time. I can't 784 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 2: count the number of times when I've actually gotten in 785 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: a cab and I just start to get out of 786 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 2: a cab now because I'm so used to an automatic 787 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 2: charge going to my phone. So the powers of these 788 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 2: credit card companies is only going to grow in the 789 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 2: decades ahead because young people like my kids never have cash. 790 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 2: I give them cash because I'm like, hey, make sure 791 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 2: that everybody is taken care of, because you need to 792 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 2: have cash in an emergency whatever else. My kids are like, what, 793 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 2: why would I ever need cash? So I think the 794 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 2: power of credit card companies is only going to grow. 795 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: So Trump is taking a stand on that one. Also 796 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: on the institutions being able to buy up single family homes. 797 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: You know, that's a complicated argument too. I know it's 798 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: become very popular on the right generally to talk about 799 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: how the reason home prices are so high is Blackrock, 800 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: for example, the massive, massive financial institution that has a 801 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: very large balance sheet with a lot of homes on it. 802 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: You know, they just that's one name that they'll throw 803 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: out there. But you say, well, hold on a second. 804 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: First of all, if we all agree, they're twenty million 805 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: illegals in this country somewhere, and you say, oh, well 806 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 1: they're renting. Yeah, that's still housing stock that is off. 807 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: So start with that. Start with there are millions and 808 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: millions of people who are being housed currently who are 809 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: not supposed to be in the country. There is no 810 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 1: way that that does not have an effect on supplying 811 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: to man It certainly does. New York City hotel room 812 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: has never been more expensive than at the end of 813 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: the Atoms administration, and it was because twenty or thirty 814 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: percent twenty or thirty I can't remember, but a big 815 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: portion of hotels were going to house illegals at the 816 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: taxpayer's expense. Correct, Well, if you take twenty percent of 817 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: something off the market, guess what it does to what remains. 818 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 1: It raises the price, It raises the costs. Applying demand 819 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: is still a major effect on the single family homes situation. 820 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: You know, on the one hand, you don't want institutions 821 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: buying up all these homes because you think, okay, well 822 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: they just use you know, the funny money balance sheet 823 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: they have access to that it's all just sort of 824 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: numbers to them on a spreadsheet. They're not actually living 825 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: in this and they're going to rise the price. On 826 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: the other hand, though, you want more developers, right, You 827 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: want there to be buyers ready to go so that 828 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: there are more and more developers making more and more 829 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: houses to keep up with population growth. So how much now? 830 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: And the other side of it is, I don't think 831 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: they someone tell me what the numbers are, guys. I 832 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: think it depends where in the country. I think there 833 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: are some states play where institutions own something like twenty 834 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: percent of the single family home stock, which seems other 835 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: states it's a lot lower than that, and it's dependent 836 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: upon the market factors in that state. But this is 837 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: a complicated discussion, you know, because it sometimes things that 838 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: it's just like the minimum wage thing. Minimum wage in 839 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: California is what now twenty five dollars. Guess what they're 840 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: doing in all these places. They're automating, they're cutting back hours. 841 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: All the things that we said would happen happen. No, 842 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. 843 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: And look, I mean again, these go into complicated aspects. 844 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 2: In order to talk about them intelligently, you have to 845 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 2: have some measure of schooling on it. And I just 846 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 2: think financial literacy we do a really poor job of 847 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 2: explaining to kids how to balance check books, how to 848 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 2: understand mortgages, how to understand what credit card interest is, 849 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 2: to understand how quickly compound interest works against you if 850 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 2: you have those balances running forward, and also in a 851 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 2: positive way, how much compounding works in your favor. If 852 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 2: you start saving I mean, every ten years on average, 853 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 2: if you buy SMP five hundred index funds, you're going 854 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 2: to double your money. Well, if you're a kid and 855 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 2: you can start saving money when you're eighteen twenty years old, 856 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 2: by the time you're fifty, you've you know, doubled, double 857 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 2: doubled just in the last thirty years, and then if 858 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 2: you live fortunate enough to be eighty or ninety, you 859 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 2: start compounding that on such an incredible level. I don't 860 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 2: think most kids think about it. It's an optimistic way 861 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 2: to think, just to understand the larger context here, and 862 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 2: I wish we did a better job of setting this 863 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 2: all up. So we will take some of your calls 864 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 2: eight hundred to two to eight two.

She's the founder of exshack x 898 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: Y Clothing and Jennifer, appreciate you making the time for us. 899 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 5: Thanks for having me guys. 900 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: So you are building a brand with fantastic apparel. In 901 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: my dad, I work frequently where you take this very 902 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,240 Speaker 1: controversial position that for women's sports to thrive, it should 903 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 1: actually be for women, and this shouldn't be controversial at all, 904 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: but it is so crazy that we actually now have 905 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court situation playing out. Did you get a 906 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: chance to hear any of the arguments today or do 907 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: you just feel like you've heard it all before, because 908 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: this is where you're constantly in the fight and in 909 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 1: the fray. 910 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 5: I did not get a chance to hear any of 911 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 5: the arguments. I was on the steps of the Supreme 912 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,240 Speaker 5: Court for the rally. There was an amazing lineup of speakers. 913 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 5: Riley Gaines spoke first, and gosh, there were so many 914 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 5: other young female athletes who've been standing up for fairness 915 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 5: and frankly, just reality. So I did not get a 916 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 5: chance to hear any of the arguments. I read some 917 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 5: of the recaps. I spoke maybe about a half an 918 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 5: hour ago at the same rally. I've heard all the 919 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 5: arguments before. The arguments make no sense. This isn't complicated. 920 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 5: There are two sexes, there's one truth. There are men 921 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 5: and women, and title line was created to recognize the 922 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 5: biological differences between men and women and to ensure that 923 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 5: girls and women have equal opportunity through sports. It's not complicated. 924 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 5: And you know now they're arguing that title Mine's intent 925 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 5: was about gender identity, which it never was. It's all 926 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 5: so stupid. I mean, I just can't it's so dumb. 927 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 5: But it's also critically important that we win these cases. 928 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 5: And you know I would just add one thing. We're 929 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 5: sort of fighting for the bare minimum here. All it 930 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 5: means if we win these cases is that the twenty 931 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 5: seven states that have laws on the books protecting women's 932 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 5: sports can continue to do so. It doesn't solve the 933 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 5: problem in the other twenty three states. 934 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 2: What's play cut their three. I want you to be 935 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 2: able to hear it. Thanks for coming on with it, Jennifer, 936 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 2: I know how busy your day is. Here is Katanji 937 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 2: Brown Jackson suggesting it's not important to define what a 938 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 2: woman is when it comes to men and women's sports 939 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,479 Speaker 2: cut thirty three. 940 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 7: You have the overarching classification. You know, everybody has to 941 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 7: be play on the team that is the same as 942 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,280 Speaker 7: their sex at birth. But then you have a gender 943 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 7: identity definition that is operating within that meaning a distinction, 944 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 7: meaning that for cis ginger girls, they can play consistent 945 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,799 Speaker 7: with their gender identity, for transgender girls they can't. 946 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 8: So I think that okay. As to the part about 947 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 8: your ability to pass over from boy to girl, yes 948 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 8: you can go from one way, but not the other. 949 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,240 Speaker 8: I want to be clear that BPJ is not challenging 950 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 8: that specific classification. I think that's important to start with. 951 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 8: But I think, if anything, that's useful evidence as to 952 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 8: the lack of a transgender based discrimination, because if the 953 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 8: legislature were just sort of unsettled by the notion of 954 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 8: transgender athletes, I think the answer would have been to 955 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 8: then far them from you. I appreciate that. 956 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. 957 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 7: I guess I was getting at the but I understood 958 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 7: the Chief Justice to be trying to we. 959 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 2: Can cut her off here, Jennifer, you worked and lived 960 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 2: in San Francisco for a long time. 961 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: Did you ever think. 962 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 2: That the left in this country would descend to the 963 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,879 Speaker 2: point where arguing that men's and women's sports should be 964 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 2: defined by gender is an unacceptable way to characterize sports. 965 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean, a part of me. 966 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 2: Is just in disbelief that we have a Supreme Court 967 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 2: case about this. Are you as blown away by that 968 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 2: as I am? 969 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 5: Mean I am if I take a step back and say, 970 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 5: this is so ridiculous. Obviously there are only two sexes. 971 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,720 Speaker 5: Text is not assigned at birth. Gender identity is a fiction, 972 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,760 Speaker 5: doesn't matter, It has no relevance in defining what women's 973 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 5: sports are. So yeah, but I'm not blown away when 974 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 5: I think about what I do every day and the 975 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 5: pushback I get, and what Riley's been doing for the 976 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 5: last four years and what many far left women, frankly 977 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 5: the urfs as they are known, have been doing for 978 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 5: over a decade. So I mean it's shocking and not 979 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,359 Speaker 5: shocking at the same time. And you know, I would 980 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,240 Speaker 5: I would just say, you know, being the only person 981 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 5: there at the rally today, you know, sort of representing 982 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 5: an organization that's not a non profit but a brand. 983 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 5: We have we ceded the culture to these crazy people 984 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,280 Speaker 5: for the last twenty years, and there's no other reason. 985 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 5: They sort of captured the culture with this fiction that 986 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 5: there's you know, seventeen seventy two genders and sex isn't 987 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 5: real and these boys feelings and how they feel about 988 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 5: their quote unquote gender matter more than girls rights. I mean, 989 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 5: it's an absurdity, but it's infiltrated the culture and it's 990 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 5: hearts and minds, and we've got to rest it back 991 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,439 Speaker 5: with the full force it was taken from us. That's 992 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 5: the only way, even if we win these cases, we're 993 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 5: going to get the other twenty three states, is if 994 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 5: every mom and dad in America and every female athlete 995 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 5: that's competing stands up and says this is so stupid. 996 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 5: I'm not doing this. We deserve our own sports and spaces. 997 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 5: But here so yes, I'm shocked and I'm not at 998 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 5: the same time. I mean, I'm sure you feel the 999 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 5: same way. 1000 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:24,240 Speaker 3: Clay. 1001 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I got to say it's remarkable that Jennifer, 1002 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: this has gotten to the point, this issue on what 1003 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: I call gender communism, where they have pushed this to 1004 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 1: the extremes that were warned about years and decades ago, 1005 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,840 Speaker 1: such that you know, you have had like a biological 1006 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: male competing against women in mixed martial arts, which is 1007 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: just insane and brutal and dangerous, where you have had 1008 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 1: biological by the way, I also I hate the terminology here. 1009 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't like that the Supreme Court had Justice Catangi 1010 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson in saying sis girls and trans girls. There's 1011 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: actually no such thing as trans girls. And really, I 1012 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,760 Speaker 1: think that's the big problem here. Start from premise number one. 1013 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: There are men or boys who think they are women 1014 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: and they are not, and that's the truth. And they 1015 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: can argue about this with us all day, but it 1016 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: won't change the truth. 1017 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. We've got to take the 1018 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 5: language back. We've got to take the culture back and 1019 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 5: trans is a fiction. Gender identity is a fiction. These 1020 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 5: are boys who claim to be girls. I'm not even 1021 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 5: going to go along with think they are girls. They 1022 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 5: claim to be girls. They have no place in women's sports. 1023 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 5: We have all sorts of restrictions in sports. We have 1024 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 5: weight classes, we have age classes. You know, yes there 1025 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 5: are sex classes. If girls have to play against boys, 1026 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 5: eventually they're going to stop playing. 1027 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 3: You know. 1028 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,400 Speaker 5: I talked about this today when I spoke on the 1029 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 5: steps of the Supreme Court. I was a gymnast as 1030 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 5: a young person, a seven time national team member, came 1031 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 5: back from all manner of injuries, everything from broken ankles 1032 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 5: and broken femurs. I came back to win. I never 1033 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 5: gave up. But if I knew the deck was stacked 1034 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 5: against me from the beginning, if I knew that I 1035 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 5: had to compete against boys, I think I would have 1036 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 5: given up. And we are telling girls every single day 1037 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 5: that they don't matter enough to fight for that they 1038 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 5: need to sit down and be quiet and just let 1039 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 5: that boy who claims to be a girl have what 1040 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 5: he wants. Why are you being so mean? That's what 1041 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 5: we're telling girls. That's the message we're sending them. That's 1042 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 5: what I can't believe. You know, I started Dymountis two 1043 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 5: years after Title nine passed. I thought we did this, 1044 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 5: I thought we were done, and yet yet here we are, 1045 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 5: and we're telling girls they need to be quiet and 1046 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 5: let boys have what they want. I mean, it really 1047 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 5: is misogyny and address there's no other way to describe it. 1048 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 2: Jennifer Buck and I were discussing this what happens. What 1049 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:50,839 Speaker 2: happens in your mind if if this case has decided six', 1050 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 2: three which CRAZILY i think it's likely to, be Do 1051 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 2: democrats step off of crazy train and, say, okay, well 1052 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 2: The Supreme court has now DECIDE i did. This we're 1053 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 2: not going to continue to fight about? It or do 1054 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 2: you think this battle is going to continue into the 1055 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 2: future as a part of the Standard democrat. ORTHODOXY i think. 1056 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 5: It's going to. Continue. CLAY i, mean you're a. LAWYER 1057 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 5: i guess this is a culture, question though just as 1058 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 5: MUCH i believe the twenty three states Push, WASHINGTON dc 1059 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 5: that currently allow boys to compete in girls' sports are 1060 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,040 Speaker 5: going to double, down and they really have convinced themselves 1061 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 5: that this fiction is a truth and that they are 1062 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 5: the civil rights. Warriors they feel very morally superior in 1063 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 5: allowing boys to trample girls, rights AND i THINK i 1064 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 5: think they're going to double. DOWN i don't think this 1065 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 5: goes away anytime.
