1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Media explosions happening everywhere. If you're just 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: getting in your car and you've been just blissfully unaware 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: of what's going on today. Right before we came on 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: the air, Tucker Carlson and Fox News statement goes out 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: that they have mutually agreed to part way. So Tucker 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: Carlson had his final show on Friday. Buck, You've been 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: a guest on Tucker a lot of times over the years. 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: I was literally on Tucker's last show on Friday asking 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: when the Nashville shooter transgender manifesto was going to be released. 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: To me. It's a good example of Tucker using his 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: platform to ask questions that a lot of people would 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: still not release. 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: By the way, now, explanation, no rationalization. This is a 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: cover up. We all know it, and we're going to 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: keep demanding it. We're gonna help whoever's going to find 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: a way to get it. I mean, Clay, I would 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: at this one. I would donate money to help fund 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: a lawsuit to foil this thing. If we have to 21 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: because we should know. 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: One thing that I've been told, and I talked about 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: this on Friday and just teed off on it, is 24 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: that the concept and look, the Nashville Police Department head, 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: the chief said that it was a manifesto. What I 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: have been told is that it's actually a series of 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: notebooks that are all crazy, and so the idea of 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: one unified like, hey, here's my eight fae page manifesto 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: of why an action is taking place is a bit 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: of a different thing. This is what I've been told 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: that there's actually a ton of writings release, and this 32 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: is what added a lot of fuel to the fire. 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I think the Louisville shooter in the bank, his manifesto 34 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: was released and by the way, almost immediately vanished because 35 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: he said a reason he did it was because he 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: wanted to show how easy it was to get guns 37 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: and kill tons of people. 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: By the way, can I just be clear, the louisvill 39 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: shooter is a terrorist, everybody. 40 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you. 41 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: Kill people for a political motivation, you are a terrorist. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Louisville shooter was a. 43 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: Democrat or left aligned leftist aligned terrorists. 44 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: You haven't heard of that anywhere, have you? I wonder 45 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: why no doubt So, Tucker Carlson is out. I'm proud 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: to have been on the final show that he will 47 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: do at Fox News. Based on that release that came 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: out this morning. Buck and I have been talking a 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: lot about this. You can go subscribe, but to the podcast. 50 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: You can make sure that you get every single minute 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: we've been reacting to it. Eight hundred and two eight 52 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: two to eight two. We will allow you guys to 53 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: react to it as well. Now on top of that, 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: Don Lemon is also out at CNN, and I would 55 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: just say I was number. Do you want me to 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: call him Don Lemon? 57 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: Yes? 58 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: Of course, you already got him on the show. Oh 59 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: I would, Don, I would know it would be it 60 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: could get could get crazy here, I would, I would, Yes, 61 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: I would. Can we die? I know you're not supposed 62 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: to just call somebody cold call us. Calling Don Lemon 63 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: to see if he wanted to come on and uh 64 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: and discuss would be riveting, right. 65 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: Romise though, he would talk to us for thirty seconds 66 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: and tell us some interesting CNN stuff and then he would. 67 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: Just want us are taking shots at talk radio and 68 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: trom people takes all the time. I've got his no, 69 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: I could call him if we will. I love the 70 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: idea of Don Lemon being on the show to discuss 71 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: his firing. So CNN, to be fair, is reporting that 72 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: Don Lemon's final statement about Don Lemon's firing at CNN 73 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: is inaccurate. And you know, uh, I feel like we 74 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: should have the Boys to Men. You know, it's Boys 75 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: to Men, right that did It's so hard to say 76 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: goodbye to yesterday. It's coming up on graduation season and 77 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: that song is a staple of graduation season. It is 78 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: on all the time. I feel like we should be 79 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: playing that. But we had the staff go back and 80 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: let's grab several of these the greatest, proudest moments of 81 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Don Lemon's career. Buck, I don't know that he ever 82 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: peaked CNN covering the Malaysian airline that disappeared for like 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: six months, as and and and to be fair, we 84 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: still have never found that Malaysian airplane, right, Yeah, they 85 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: searched for it for years. I mean it's like lost. 86 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: It just vanished. 87 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: The Netflix documentary on it and I just found it 88 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: just turned into all the conspiracy theories about it because 89 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: they don't have a real answer, that's right, that's not 90 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: that interesting. 91 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: I think the most likely outcome because I read to 92 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: be fair to Don Lemon, I mean I was obsessed 93 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: with that story too. I think the most likely story 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: of the Malaysian Airline, the flight that disappeared, that they 95 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: still have never been able to find, is that a 96 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: guy the pilot, intentionally committed suicide and decided to basically 97 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: crash the plane into an ocean middle of nowhere. Yeah, 98 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: there's that horrible story some years back. 99 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: I think it was on a LUFTOWNSA flight where a 100 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: pilot was committing suicide. 101 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: You can actually hear on the black box recorder. 102 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were smack smashing the door in with an 103 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: axe as the guy was trying to drive the plane 104 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: into the ground. Unfortunately they couldn't get in there fast enough. 105 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: So suicide by pilot in that instance, and there have been, 106 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: you know, there have been others like that. 107 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: I think that's clearly what happened. But the fact that 108 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: the whole thing is there anything scarier than being on 109 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: a plane and a pilot deciding that he's going to 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: take down the plane intentionally, No, I mean, I just anyway, 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: that's chilling. 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: I mean, between that and Great White shark, I take 113 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: great white charge by me. 114 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's it's gonna be rough, 115 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be quick. And people are like, well, 116 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: a plane going down in general would be terrifying. Yes, 117 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: but if you at least knew that the pilot was 118 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: trying to save your life on the plane. When a 119 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: pilot just says, hey, I'm crazy and we're all gonna 120 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: die like that is terrifying. 121 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 2: Important question. We are down here in Florida right now. 122 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: You'd rather get eaten by a lion or an alligator? 123 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: If you had to pick which which one's the worst 124 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: way to go? 125 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: I think a lion, because I think part of getting 126 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: eaten by an alligator would involve drowning as well. Alligator 127 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: is a rough way to go. I'm just saying I'd 128 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: rather go king of the jungle. I think some of 129 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: you might be like, well, I'd rather drown than get 130 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: eaten by an alligator. But you're drowning while getting eaten 131 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: by the alligator. That's a bad combo. Yeah, not a 132 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: good deal. Okay, let's talk about this. Sorry. Speaking of 133 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: drowning while getting eaten by an alligator, that's basically what 134 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: happened to Don Lemon today and his career at CNN, 135 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and we have audio. The reason I brought up the 136 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Malaysian airplane is our crack staff was able to go 137 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: grab this. Don Lemon talking to next famous moment on 138 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: the air all time, maybe of all time, up there 139 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: with Bernard Shaw in the in the Bagdad Hilton, when 140 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: all the bombing started. Don Lemon says, maybe the Malaysian 141 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: airplane disappeared was in the black hole? Right, listen to this. 142 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: But if it was hijacking or terrorism, or mechanical failure 143 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: or pilot air but what if it was something fully 144 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 4: that we don't really understand a lot of people have 145 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: been asking about that, about black holes and on and 146 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: on and on and all of these conspiracy theories. 147 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: Let's look at this. Noah says, what else can you 148 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: think about? Black hole? Bermuda triangle? 149 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 4: And then Desi says, just like the movie Lost, and 150 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: of course it's also also referencing the Twilight Zone, which 151 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: is a very similar plot. That's what people are saying. 152 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 4: I know it's preposterous, but is it preposterous? 153 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 5: You think, Mary? 154 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 6: Well, it is a black hole? Is about you know, 155 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 6: a small black hole would suck in our entire universe, 156 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 6: so we know it's not that muter triangle as often weather. 157 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: A black hole would on those points. I would I 158 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: just want to can we start her answer again? If 159 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: you ask a question, is it preposterous? And the immediate 160 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: answer as well, A small black hole would suck in 161 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: our entire unit, suck in our entire universe? I just 162 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I just want can we get the start of that? 163 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Is it preposterous? Tell me this is not the most 164 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: remarkable answer in the history of cable news. Did I demand? 165 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: Did I demand too specific of a start time? Okay, 166 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: if one of us ever asked, is it preposterous and 167 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: the immediate answer is well, a small black hole would 168 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: suck in the entire universe. I'm not saying we haven't 169 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: had dumb questions on this show because we're live for 170 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: three hours every day.

They couldn't land the proverbial plan, 195 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: could not land the plan. 196 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: They had no idea what they were doing. But the 197 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: first two seasons were very interesting. And I was a 198 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: big Evangeline Lily fan at the time. 199 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so I like her even now. You know she's 200 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: kind of based. Oh, yeah, you've seen her. She was 201 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: a super anti COVID shot. Yeah, that's a good point. 202 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: But on the. 203 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: Politics of this for a second here turning to the political, 204 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: It had been the belief of those of us in 205 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: media for a long time that Don Lemon was, as 206 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: a minority and a member of the LGBTQ plus community, 207 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: that he was effectively on fire or correct. And I 208 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: think that what we saw was that that was true 209 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: to a point. But he somehow upset the wokeness gods 210 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 2: enough that his invincibility no longer was present. 211 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: For him, and they decided to finally push him out. 212 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: I do think also CNN, as part of their revamp, 213 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: understand this, CNN didn't get. 214 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: A story wrong or have a judgment against it. 215 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: CNN turned into a psychotic anti Trump network top to bottom, 216 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: no room for dissenting voices, and no problem them with 217 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: airing the most obtuse and maniacal lies about Trump. In fact, 218 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: it became required and they all did it on all 219 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: the shows. There were no hard news shows under Donald 220 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: Trump's tenure as president. When it came to CNN, he 221 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: called them fake news, and Zucker took it personally, and 222 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 2: so they became even faker. 223 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: Than they had been in the past. 224 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: I think that you're going to see a continue have 225 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: they already They've already had a few departures there right 226 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: as they've knd't even remember now a few people have 227 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: been pushed out of CNN, and I believe they're Charles Barkle, 228 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: isn't I just went on to show. 229 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I went on Fox News and talked about that 230 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: this morning. But Charles Barkley and Gail King are doing 231 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: a show weekly, not daily. 232 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: But but you know, they may start moving into more 233 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 2: of a news and general interest commentary because they're their 234 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: brand became completely unworkable in a post Trump era. 235 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: Now, of course, the question is they're pushing out Lemon. 236 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: They pushed out some other folks from there, and the 237 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: head Zucker that's yeah, you know, the guy who. 238 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Then Plus did not go well. CNN Plus maybe the 239 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: biggest debacle in media history, went down like a led Zeppelin. 240 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: And so you have now the possibility, though of the 241 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: Trump primary and possible presidency, everybody and CNN going away 242 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: from being an anti Trump weaponized network and they may 243 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: have to take that cruise ship, hit the brakes, turn 244 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 2: it around and try to get going in. 245 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: The other direction. 246 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: Again. 247 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. Remember, they made 248 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: a big deal about launching Don mean now that there 249 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: was clearly a demotion when they pulled Don Lemon out 250 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of primetime and put him in as part of a 251 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: trio on the Morning Show. But they made a big 252 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: deal who's a poppy Harlow, Caitlyn Collins, Don Lemon. They 253 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: made a big deal of the three of them, Sick 254 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: Collins of the Daily call Originally. 255 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: By the way, people forget they're talking about places where 256 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 2: people got their start. 257 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Caitlin was a Daily Caller reporter working for Chucker Carlson, 258 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: and Don Lemon didn't let her forget that there was 259 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: word that he didn't like that she used to work 260 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: at the Daily Caller. Caitlyn's also a bit true. I 261 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: didn't know i'd heard that. Yeah, Caitlyn's also a big 262 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: University of Alabama fan because she is from the state 263 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: of Alabama. So I've seen her. To be fair, she 264 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: seems like a normal person. Ye, pretty normal person. I've 265 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: seen her at BAMA games before. But what is interesting 266 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: about this is they've now not only blown up Don 267 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Lemmon in many ways, they've blown up that show because 268 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: Poppy Harlow and Kaitlyn Collins don't have that. First of all, 269 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: no one's watching. But now Chris Licked, I believe, is 270 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: the guy who's been there for six months, whatever his 271 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: name is. 272 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: I used to do early, earlier in my tenure. This 273 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: is like twenty fourteen, so we're going back now, God 274 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: is like eight Is that like eight years ago? 275 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: Fifth? Twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. 276 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: I'd go on CNN Poppy Harlowe's hosting the weekend shows, 277 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: and I swear she would hold me through sometimes their 278 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: newsroom show and we go into a break and she 279 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: would look at me and she was fastened because of 280 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: whatever I had just said, which was obviously right wing. 281 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: I've always been right wing. I've always been conservative. And 282 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: she would look at me like I was a space alien, 283 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: like like in the break seating and she's like, wait, 284 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: but you you like when. 285 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: The people have the guns under the count was? It was. 286 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: It was fascinating. 287 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 2: She had never seen this weird creature like me before, 288 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: up close and personal.

Including I thought it was so 357 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: interesting Eric Adams had said that the migrant crisis is 358 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: destroying New York City, which is so interesting because I 359 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: thought we all get richer and happier. 360 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: And better with the more legal immigrants we have. That's 361 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: what democrats tell us. 362 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: And it's also interesting Clay on this day, you know, 363 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: you had AOC over the weekend going viral for saying 364 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: specifically do we have that audio? 365 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Actually? Can we play it? 366 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: She said that what Tucker says is clearly incitement to violence. 367 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Play that one, I'll find it. Where is it? Where 368 00:16:58,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: did it go? 369 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 7: When you look at what Tucker, Carlson and some of 370 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 7: these other folks on Fox do, it is very very 371 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 7: clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence. And 372 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 7: that is the line that I think we have to 373 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 7: be willing to contend with. 374 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: She is the ultimate useful idiot, Clay, because she is 375 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 2: a Kami and she's an idiot, and she's very useful 376 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: to them. 377 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: I think it's also a good example of what the 378 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: difference is between disagreeing with someone's opinion and trying to 379 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: cancel them. Cancel culture is not Hey, bud Light made 380 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: a stupid decision. Drink another beer. That is how the 381 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: marketplace of ideas works. If you decide that Buck and 382 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: myself are doing a poor job of entertaining you and 383 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: making you smarter, I hope you won't, but there are 384 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: other options, right. That's not cancel culture. Cancel culture is 385 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't like what someone says and they don't deserve 386 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: the right to continue to be employed.

Reacting to major crazy wild media news, Tucker 404 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: Carlson out at Fox News, also Don Lemon out at CNN, 405 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: we should also mention I think it was Friday News 406 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: broke that Dan Bongino was no longer going to be 407 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: a contributor at Fox News, not going to be doing 408 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: his nightly show. He was a host, yeah, for Saturday Night. 409 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: I think he had a show, right, And we were 410 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: talking about people who have left media outlets and had 411 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: a great deal of success as independent entities. I think 412 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: you have to mention Glenn Beck, who certainly is our 413 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: lead in on many of these same stations, with what 414 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: he has done with the Blaze. So again, to me, 415 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: as someone who had out kick, I look at Tucker 416 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Carlson in the opportunities that he has going forward in 417 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: the media space and say, my goodness, there are some 418 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: really intriguing ones let's play buck what do you think 419 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: about We'll take some calls here in a moment. But 420 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: given the fact that Don Lemon is out, our staff 421 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: has been grabbing some of Don Lemon's highlights. We were 422 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: talking about the quest of the best of Don Lemon, 423 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: the question of whether or not the Malaysian airplane had 424 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: been sucked into a black hole, which is one of 425 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: the all time great answers. But let's play this from 426 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one where Don Lemon decided he should go 427 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: after Trump voters in particular people who didn't get the 428 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: COVID shot were stupid and they should be shamed. Don 429 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: Lemon in twenty twenty one. 430 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 8: I think we have to stop coddling people when it 431 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 8: comes to this and the vaccine, saying, oh, you can't 432 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 8: shame them, you can't call them stupid, you can't call 433 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 8: them still good. 434 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: Yes, they are. 435 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 8: The people who ate in the bettedt Trump are stupid 436 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 8: because they believed his big lie. The people who are 437 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 8: not getting vaccines, who are believing the lies on the 438 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 8: internet instead of science. 439 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: It's time to start shaming them. 440 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 8: What else or leave them behind because they are keeping 441 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 8: the majority of Americans behind You didn't feel that way 442 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 8: about the polio vaccine. You don't feel that way about measles, mumps, 443 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 8: rebella when it comes to your children, and all of 444 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 8: a sudden, this vaccine is different. 445 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: What's different about it? 446 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 8: The only different thing about it is because of your politics. 447 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: I think it's different that it used a never before 448 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: used technology in the history of humanity, and it wasn't 449 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: actually studied in any clinical sense over. 450 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: A long period of time. Also, it didn't work. 451 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: Also, doctor Don Lemon apparently left his lab coat somewhere. 452 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: Also, if you got a bunch of shots for measles 453 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: and still got measles, I think you'd be pretty pissed 454 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 1: off with Everybody'd be like, hey, say this measle shots craps. 455 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: So I've never been happier that I didn't get for 456 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: my kids or me. The COVID shot is. The fallout continues. 457 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: But this was I would say buck probably this is 458 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: from February sixteenth, twenty twenty three. This is probably the 459 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: moment when Don Lemon's continued employment at CNN became untenable. 460 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: When Don Lemon decided that Nicki Haley was past his prime, 461 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 1: and when pressed on it, said yeah, just google it. 462 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 8: Listen, she says, people, you know, politicians are something and 463 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 8: not in their prime. 464 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: Nicki Haley isn't in her prime. Sorry. 465 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 8: When a woman is considered being a prime in her 466 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 8: twenties and thirties and maybe forties. 467 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: Twenty, that's not, according to me, time for what it depends. 468 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: It's just like prime. You look it up. 469 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 8: It'll if you google when is a woman in a prime, 470 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 8: it'll say twenties, thirties and forties. 471 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't know forties. So I got another. I agree 472 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: with that prime for like child. 473 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 8: That's the facts are. Google it, everybody at home. When 474 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 8: is a woman in a prime, it says twenties, thirties 475 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 8: and forties. And I'm just saying, Nikki Haley should be 476 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 8: careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime 477 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 8: and they need to be in their prime when they serve, 478 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 8: because she wouldn't be in a prime according. 479 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: To Google, Google or whatever it is. 480 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: Google it, google it, google it, hashtags science ladies. 481 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Google it is an amazing answer. Not understanding the way 482 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: that prime was being defined is perfect for Don Lemon, 483 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: and I can't stop loving the image of Don Lemon 484 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: prepping for his morning show by being like, oh, let 485 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: me just go to Google and find out when women 486 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: are in their prime, and Buck, I will say, I 487 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: think this is an important point you made. The idea 488 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: was Don Lemon is impossible to fire because he's a 489 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: gay black guy. 490 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: So he basically had no guardrails for his commentary for 491 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 2: a long time. And I think that he really tested 492 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: out what is the outer limit of being a gay 493 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: black man working at CNN in terms of your you know, 494 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: fire ability in a woke world, And turns out you 495 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: can still get fired, which. 496 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: Is I think a surprise to some people. Now CNN 497 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: is a dumpster fire, and unlike Tucker, who will have 498 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: abundant options in the media ecosystem, I I really don't 499 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: see a lot out there for Don Lemon. I think, 500 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: to be fair, Don Lemon is well past his prime. 501 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of juice left to 502 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: be squeezed. There a bunch of you want to weigh in, 503 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: lou Anne in Wisconsin, what do you think? 504 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: Hi? I just want to first of all, I love 505 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 3: your show, you guys, thank you. I just wanted to 506 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: win on Tucker getting into politics, and I would disagree 507 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: with that just because I heard an interview with Kochie 508 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 3: Roberts probably twenty years ago, and I remember being struck 509 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: because she was asked why she didn't get into politics 510 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: because her dad was, and her dad said to her, 511 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: don't get into politics. You have a lot more influence 512 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 3: in the media. Yeah, And I remember thinking at the time, thinking, what, 513 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 3: how can she have more influence in the media. You're 514 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 3: supposed to just report the news. 515 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: So I think. 516 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 3: Tucker's got a really strong base. People are going to 517 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 3: follow him. I will follow him wherever he's going, and 518 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 3: he reaches a lot of people. 519 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: Blue And I think you made a I mean, I 520 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: think all everything you said is particularly precient. Look, Buck, 521 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: you and I talk about this sometimes. We feel incredibly 522 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: privileged to have this platform. We have way more influence 523 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: than a lot of politicians do because we are not 524 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: at the beck and call of voters on a day 525 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: to day basis. We can say exactly what we think 526 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: about Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump or Nicky Haley or 527 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: any other politician on the planet in a way that 528 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: sometimes politicians cannot. And certainly we're fortunate to be talking 529 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: to millions of people every single day, and that is 530 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: the impact that Tucker had on his televis Vision program. 531 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that suddenly that huge fan base that 532 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: he has built up is going to vanish. 533 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 2: Look, you could tell that Trump was watching Tucker when 534 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: Trump was president because there would be immediate reaction sometimes 535 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: to a topic. You know, you would see Trump would 536 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: focus on something that Tucker talked about, and you could 537 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: see even over the last you know, six months or so, 538 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: Trump calibrating and recalibrating the message or the focus occasionally 539 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: based upon what he would see on on Tucker's show. 540 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: So the influence I think was was very strong and 541 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: very clear. And Tucker just set with Trump buck Well, 542 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know it did that really detailed foreign 543 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: affairs related interview, which I thought was very much a 544 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: positive for Trump. And Hannity just had his big interview. 545 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: But Tucker, what was that like three weeks ago that 546 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: he went to mar Lago and sat down with Trump. 547 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: Dane in Franklin, Tennessee, which I hear from Clay is 548 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: a lovely place. 549 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: I have heard sources, sources close to me can report 550 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: that Franklin, Tennessee may be the best place in America 551 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: to live. What's going on on Dane. 552 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 9: Oh, not much been a long time listener. Glad to 553 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 9: finally reach you guys. Thank you, Yes, the whole Tucker say. 554 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 9: I don't see how you guys can't feel threatened by that, 555 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 9: with the whole political world, ALC humors and all of 556 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 9: them constantly wanting to shut Tucker down. 557 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: Now happy, Well, can I tell you we always know? 558 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, Thank you Dan for calling in. 559 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: You know, we're always targets, and the bigger you are 560 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: in terms of influence, the bigger a target you are 561 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: to the left, and they fight dirty, they're remorseless, they're ruthless, 562 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: they don't care, they don't want to engage. They don't 563 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: want to convince us or our audience of anything. They 564 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 2: want you to shut up, bend the knee, and comply. 565 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: And they'll use corporate power, public power, prosecutorial power, you 566 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: name it. They'll do anything that they can to tilt 567 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: the playing field in their favor, and so anyone who 568 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 2: speaks out against it. You know, really that the the 569 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: beginning of Clay and I even knowing each other and 570 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: talk looking each other was over. We're two guys who 571 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 2: during COVID, when a lot of people, including some people 572 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: on the right, were really complacent, and we're both like, 573 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 2: this is absolutely nuts. People are losing their minds in 574 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: the government and fauci is and all the rest of it. 575 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: So and they came for us, by the way, and 576 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different ways, a lot of pressure, 577 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: a lot of efforts, a lot of Oh they want 578 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: to come after you know, our platforms, our sponsors, whatever. 579 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: So that's just reality of being on the right. 580 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: But better that than to be some soft brained live 581 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: debutante who doesn't know any dilettants, sorry, not debutante who 582 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: doesn't know anything about it. 583 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: May also be going to debutante balls.

If you're asking 677 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: if that is that why Tucker's gone. 678 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: He certainly was one of the people raising that as 679 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: an issue, but I don't, you. 680 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: Know, think about it this way. 681 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: The there's a lot bigger stuff I think that Tucker 682 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 2: was involved in and talking about. 683 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: And even the rey Apps thing isn't minor. 684 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to dismiss it, but you know, he 685 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: was taking shots on a lot of things. 686 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I say thanks for the call. The 687 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: details probably will come out about exactly what went on. 688 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: Remember it's not just Tucker, it's also Don Lemon. We 689 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: live in a media ecosystem that is incredibly unstable. Just 690 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: is I mean, I said earlier on the show, I've 691 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: been fired before, Buck, You've had contracts expire and moved 692 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: on from other media companies. That's kind of the way 693 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: that this industry works. And I have quit media jobs before. 694 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: I've been several several media jobs I said I'm done here. 695 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: I've quit. In fact, early in my radio career, I 696 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: got a twenty dollars job raise offer, and so I 697 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: was like, I don't think my life. I can get 698 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: a job in McDonald's and make a little bit more 699 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: money than this. So sometimes you get a raise offer 700 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, this is kind of not going 701 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: the way that I wanted it to go. And if 702 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: you have the opportunity, you. 703 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: Can walk out on an annualized salary. They gave you 704 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: a twenty dollars bump. 705 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: It was twenty dollars a week. Oh well, you know 706 00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: twenty hold on twenty dollars a day, twenty dollars a day. Yeah, 707 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: but I mean, look, twenty dollars a day. I could 708 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: have legitimately gone, I mean, what do you make fifteen 709 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: dollars an hour McDonald's. Now I could have gotten a 710 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: job at McDonald's and made more. So, yeah, twenty dollars 711 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: a day raise. And I was like, yeah, I don't know. 712 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been here five years. I'm not sure 713 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: that twenty dollars a day is going to be the 714 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: difference maker. My point on it in general is you 715 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. Got to keep your 716 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: head on a swivel. And to your point earlier, Buck, 717 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: it's easy to sleep well at night. My wife always says, hey, 718 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: you've never needed therapy for anything, And by the way, 719 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: maybe I do. But she said, like, because you get 720 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: to say, unlike most people in America, exactly what you 721 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: think for several hours every day, and you have no 722 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: weight on your shoulders. And I think that's true, and 723 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't take it for granted. 724 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 2: This is kind of like why sometimes people will go out, they'll, 725 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: you know, go out to dinner with Carrie and me, 726 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: and they'll say, you know, you're kind of quiet. I'm like, 727 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: I talk. I've sit there with Clay for three hours 728 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: every day and talk. I talk plenty. Yeah, I get 729 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: it all off my chest. Dave in North Carolina. It's 730 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: got some thoughts here for us, Dave, what's going on? 731 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 5: Hey, how are you doing today? 732 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: Good were day? But we're good? 733 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 5: What a day? I was thinking, you know, you had 734 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 5: said something earlier. Either you're Clay, I get you guys 735 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 5: mixed up some both great that CNN needs to turn 736 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 5: the ship around. Well maybe they should hire Tucker. 737 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: Do you imagine if they hired Tucker? 738 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 2: You know, that's that's where he started his TV career. 739 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 2: Tucker was very young for a host at the time. 740 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 2: I think he was like thirty. 741 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: He was on Crossfire. 742 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: He's a Crossfire host with what's his name? Not one 743 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 2: of the original guys. I can't remember. 744 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: He's uh, I don't even remember who that guy was. 745 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 2: He Democrat guy you know I'm talking about. 746 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: I can't remember. Yeah, they used to film that on 747 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: GW's campus, like back in the day. Tucker was super 748 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: young to have that show, and he's also been at MSNBC. 749 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that would ever happen, but it is 750 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: funny to think about. We wanted to mention this too. 751 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: By the way, as we finish off the show. You know, 752 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: bud Light has forced out two of their top marketing execs. 753 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: Fuck seventeen per decline in bud Light consumption since they 754 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: ran that one ad. This is sending shock waves throughout 755 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: the entire marketing and advertising industry of what happens when 756 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: you go out and basically alienate your base. That's unheard of. 757 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: I bet bud Light has never seen their overall beer 758 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: sales drop like this. You've got lots of options and 759 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be intriguing to see how they try 760 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: to build back that audience that they insulted and basically 761 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: forgot what their base was. So that is going to 762 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: be intriguing to see For bud Light, I wanted to 763 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: make sure we got that information out there. We love 764 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: all of you. We made it through the show without 765 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: getting fired. I'm looking at my phone forty seconds, forty 766 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: seconds left, almost made it. Tomorrow should be interesting. We'll 767 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: continue to follow these stories additional news. 768 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 2: There's other things happening in the country and around the world, 769 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 2: we promise, you know, economy, crane war, the border. 770 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things going on. So we're gonna 771 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: get into all of that, no doubt it should be 772 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,439 Speaker 1: a it should be a wild week. But in terms 773 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: of Mondays in media, I can't remember a Monday this 774 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: wild in a very, very long one. 775 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 2: What do you think, Clay the over under is? Is 776 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: that how you say it or the what are the odds? 777 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: Joy Reid still has her her gig over at MSNBC 778 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 2: by the end of the week. If that's the people 779 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: are saying that might be the next host to get 780 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 2: get pushed down. 781 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: Well, nobody's watching her. It's hard for me to believe 782 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: that MSNBC can't find a better option. I don't like 783 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: to root for people to lose their jobs in media, 784 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: but if you consistently stink at your job and somebody 785 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: could do a way better job than you, I don't 786 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: know what MSNBC is thinking. Keep your head on a swivel. 787 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: Everybody
