1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome in our number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: we are eight days away from the official election day 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: in New Jersey, in Virginia, and in New York City, 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: and we are discussing the crazy rally that took place 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: in New York City. 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 2: Surrounding Mom, Donnie, Kathy Hokel. 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Now we got Hikeem Jeffries endorsing Mom, Donnie, and I 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: want to play this one. This is AOC, AOC saying 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: we're not crazy. They want us to think we're crazy. 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: This is cut five, AOC screaming at everyone while she 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: jumps around. 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: Listen, we must remember. 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 3: In a time such as this, we are not the 14 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 3: crazy ones New York City. We are not the outlandish 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: ones New York City. They want us to think we 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: are crazy. 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: We are saying, yes, yes, you are all very sane. 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of these things, Buck that I 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: do worry because some arguments are so dumb that I 20 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: don't understand how a major political party can make them. 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: And let me take a step back and say, some 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: things you and I disagree with in policy perspectives, but 23 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: you can make a reasonable argument that you or I 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: or wrong, or that some of you out there, right 25 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: or wrong. There's lots of reasonable minds can differ perspectives. 26 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Freezing rent is actually the most destructive thing you could 27 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: do if you believe you have major issues with rent 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: in the city. The thing I mean, this is just 29 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: basic economics. And I know a lot of you get this, 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: but maybe your kids don't, maybe your grandkids don't, And 31 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: you have to succinctly kind of explain why this is 32 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: a lunatic idea. Here is just a simple argument. It's 33 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: all supply and demand. Everything in life is supply and demand. 34 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: If you want rent to come down, then you have 35 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: to build more apartments and or kick illegals that are 36 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: using these apartments out. This is very basic. It is 37 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: the essence of economics itself. The only way to drive 38 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: down cost is to increase the supply of a good 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: by and large, and yet they are simultaneously making it 40 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: very hard to construct new housing and telling the people 41 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: who do own the housing, we're gonna restrict what you 42 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: can charge, which means means the cost is going to 43 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: continue to go up for those who own these rental properties. 44 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: The maintenance costs are going to continue to go up. 45 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: Inflation is not stopping for them, which means their profit 46 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: margin is going to go down, which means the quality 47 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: of the rental property will either decline or unfortunately, some 48 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: of these properties will just be taken off the market 49 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: because the landlord will throw up their hands and say, 50 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: I'm losing money by renting this property out. 51 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: If they have the ability to. 52 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: Do so, they'll just pull it off the market, which 53 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: will mean that rents are continuing to increase overall because 54 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: the supply is declining. What. I don't even understand the 55 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: argument that a rational human being could make that freeze 56 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: the rent is in any way beneficial for people, even 57 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: if you believe that rental costs are too high. I mean, 58 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: you lived in New York City. I see what people 59 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: have to pay for homes in New York City to rent. 60 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: Just we have to build way more homes. I mean, 61 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: I don't understand how this is not the ultimate solution. Okay, 62 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: So there's a few things here for everyone I think 63 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: to consider. One is, and this was even higher than 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was. If you were to just take 65 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: a quick look at what the cost of new multifamily 66 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: is in this country nationwide on average, and how much 67 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: of that is taxes regulations, fees, meaning not just oh, 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: I want to hire people and get stuff to make 69 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: a home, and you know by land, hire a construction crew, 70 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: have them make it and sell it, but all the 71 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: other things. Estimate that I just found online just with 72 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: a quick search clay is forty percent. Forty percent of 73 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: the cost. I tried to find a specific New York 74 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: City cost, and all they can really is that it, 75 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's higher than forty percent. And there 76 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: are reasons for that. There are reasons for this one thing. 77 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: By the way, in New York City, building codes alone, 78 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: building codes are eleven percent of the cost. Inclusionary zoning 79 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: mandates are seven percent of the cost. You know, you 80 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: go through these things, you say, well, hold on a second. 81 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: And another one is again talking multifamily here, right, because 82 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: that's the only way you got to build up in 83 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: New York for it to be worth worthwhile in New 84 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: York City it's very hard of you know, you're not 85 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: building like a you know, on two acres, a single 86 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: family home unless you're going to sell it for twenty 87 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: million bucks. So they look at this, or rather you 88 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: look at this, and you find out that also the 89 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: fact that New York city, labor costs are so high, 90 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: and that there's all these union mandates for labor, and 91 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: you have all these things, and these are the reasons 92 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: that there's not more housing supply, and the idea of 93 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: freezing rent makes it worse. Give you an example of this, everybody, 94 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: you could look at a lot of things that ruin 95 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: the economy. I mean, Venezuela is now a failed state. 96 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's gonna get a new regime soon, it's a 97 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: failed state. It's a narco traffick or state. And we 98 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: don't even hear about the economy anymore one because I 99 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: think it's so hard to get real numbers. 100 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 2: But it's been completely destroyed. 101 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: One of the primary ways that Chavez and then Maduro 102 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: destroyed the Venezuelan economy was price controls because people who 103 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: are hurting and who don't have very much here. Hey, 104 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: these guys are going to use government force to say 105 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: that the cost of this washing machine isn't three hundred dollars, 106 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: it's one hundred dollars and that sounds great, right, Oh 107 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: my gosh, Now my watch they mandate and only the 108 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: fat catch are going to pay. 109 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: You know what happens, Clay, No one can buy a 110 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: washing machine anymore. No one can. 111 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: Actually, they their shelves are empty, right. This is what 112 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: is going on in the New York City housing market 113 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: rid large, and yet Mamdani is about to become mayor 114 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: thinking that this stuff is the answer. 115 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: It is so destructive, it is so. 116 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: Damaging, and it's essentially a repudiation of the free market 117 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: replaced with social justice. It's common nonsense. This is also 118 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: why the Democrat Party's overall brand is collapsing. As we 119 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: were talking Buck, the media company Semaphore posted a new 120 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: story that I thought was pretty interesting. This is a 121 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: Democrats study, Why are they so rotten? What is the 122 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: takeaway here? And the headline is left wing ideas have 123 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: wrecked Democrats. Brand new report warns, and this is the 124 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Democrat Party's own study. Democrats have badly weaken their party 125 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: with left leaning ideas and rhetoric growing only. I bet 126 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: this ties in with your no Kings protest with self 127 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: described white liberals while losing ground with other voters. According 128 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: to a center left group's report shared first with Semaphore, 129 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: the group, which is called Welcome, consulted hundreds of thousands 130 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: of voters over six months for a broad finding, including 131 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: seventy percent. Seventy percent of voters think the Democrat Party 132 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: is quote out of touch. Most voters the group found 133 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: believe the party overprioritizes issues like protecting the rights of 134 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus Americans, fighting climate change while not caring about 135 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: securing the border or lowering the rate of crime. And 136 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: as a result, they say that they have completely misjudged 137 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the audience as a whole, and that I mean, I 138 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: think they're right on this, Buck. The reason they're losing 139 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: elections is not because voters aren't hearing their message. It's 140 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: because voters are hearing their message and they are profoundly 141 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: rejecting it. And the data in here is really just 142 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of very fascinating to see. And for instance, they 143 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: talk about racial groups eight hundred and twenty eight percent 144 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: more in the Democrat Party now, Buck, compared to in 145 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Think about some of this stuff. They talk 146 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: about environmental justice three hundred and thirty three percent more, 147 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: they talk about LGBTQ rights one thousand and forty four 148 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: percent more, And mentions of men and fathers have fallen 149 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party platform by sixty three percent one 150 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent on fathers and responsibility. The word responsibility has 151 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: collapsed by eighty three percent. This probably doesn't stun you, 152 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: and it probably doesn't shock a lot of our audience, 153 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: but it is interesting that Democrats are now recognizing how 154 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: toxic their own messaging has become. One thing I thought 155 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: about over the weekend. This isn't a side. It's like 156 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing a soliloquy on the radio. Here is how 157 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: rare it is for there to be in any kind 158 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: of entertainment. You know, Carrie went to sleep, and so 159 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: when she goes to bed before me, I watch anything 160 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: that I know she hates, like sci fi. So I 161 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: tried out the Halo Show on Netflix because I know 162 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: the video game. You know, it's okay, But I was 163 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: thinking about this because you know, the guy, the lead guys, 164 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, a badass and. 165 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: The whole thing. 166 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, how many shows are there 167 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: that show but you don't know anything about this guy's 168 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: family anything, But how many shows are there where the 169 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: dad is actually somebody I've been preaching this as a 170 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: dad that you're like, that's a you know, the closest 171 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: thing I can think of would be years ago. I mean, 172 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: I think coach Eric Taylor in Friday Night Lights was 173 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: like it was a really solid dad, you know, masculine, 174 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: good at his job, take care of his family. 175 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 2: You know, he was a solid dad. 176 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: I think that was one of the kind of subtle 177 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: but strong appeals of that show. Now he does move 178 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: in the end because his wife's career forces him to. 179 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: Sorry spoiler alert. 180 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 3: But. 181 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: I feel like he's you know, he's a solid dad. 182 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: Right. 183 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: There's so many things out there in entertainment where the 184 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: dad is like this is like this bumbling buffoon, or 185 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: the dad is an absentee. Well, it depends. You have 186 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of divorce and absentee dads. 187 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: If the dad is white. In media, you see a 188 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: lot of that, and in media that's that's the depiction 189 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: of it. And you sit there and you say to yourself, 190 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: this doesn't have to be this way back to the 191 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: demographics though, because you open the door to this and 192 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: now I'm going back on track here with you, Clay, 193 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: but yeah, just someone let me know if there is 194 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: a great show where there's a dad that you're like, 195 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: this is a this is a dad that American men 196 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: should look up to, or I opened I opened or 197 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: one of our hours that you were out on this 198 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: exact thing. There's a clip up I think on YouTube 199 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: you're hitting on something I think independent because I think. 200 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 2: You were out. 201 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: We have effectively written I'm not no you. We have 202 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: effectively and I argue about this in the new book 203 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: that I've got, We've effectively written men out of pop 204 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: culture dads. You have extremely powerful moms, moms that do 205 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: a great job, like it's the foundation, I would argue, 206 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: But it's not just that we've written them out now, Buck, 207 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: It's that it's a repudiation of everything we grew up. 208 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: They also have moms that are kind of pretending to 209 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: be dad's, which is a whole other that's a whole totally. 210 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you're trying to fill both both roles. But 211 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and it's a repudiation of the era in 212 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: which we grew up. When and yet I'm not saying 213 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: that Bill Cosby. I'm talking about the show, uh, the 214 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: Osby show, Growing Pains a full House where they wrote 215 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: the moms out like you run through most of eighties 216 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: and nineties of Fresh Prince of bel Air, family matters, 217 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: white and black dads that were incredibly prominent the dads, Taylor, Yeah, 218 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: the dads were real dads who commanded respect. We've completely 219 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know you were talking about this, but this 220 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: is something that I really think about because if I'm 221 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: going through shows that I'm gonna watch, I don't consume 222 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of pop culture. When I do, it's just 223 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: all these dads. And it's it's weird too, because I 224 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: know so many I know dads who are you know, 225 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: fantastic providers, fantastic husbands. You know, they're trying to be 226 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: in great shape and be strong, and you know they're 227 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: they're they got cool hobbies and they want to teach 228 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: their boys and they're taking them hunting or they're taking 229 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: them fishing. You know, I know dads like that, and 230 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: yet I see no dads like that in the media. 231 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: So I know they exist in the wild because I 232 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: have friends who are like that. Meanwhile, file no depictions whatsoever. 233 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: You can even argue, because I know we got to 234 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: go to break buck if this is something I'm fired 235 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: up about. You can even argue that dads today are 236 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: more involved with their kids than dads in the sixties, seventies, 237 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: eighties were when it was much more of a mom's 238 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: at home and dad is always out of the house. 239 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: I would argue to your point, there are probably more 240 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: father figures very involved in raising their kids today than 241 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: there were when you and I grew up, and yet 242 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: they are completely without representation in modern pop culture. Well, 243 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: who is the or what is the most over represented 244 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: demographic that the No Kings protest. I'll throw this out 245 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: there and then we'll get into it. Some more middle 246 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: aged white women. Everybody, middle aged white women. I would 247 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: have bet a lot of money that was the answer. Yep, 248 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: and that is what the data shows. We will come 249 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: back into that one here in just a second. You know, 250 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the hollidays are meant to bring us closer. Thanksgiv just 251 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: a month from now's the time to be thankful for 252 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: all we have when we're together with our families, and 253 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: Christmas a month later, more time with family, also to 254 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: cherish that time with each other. But between those occasions 255 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: when you're not altogether, do you have a plan to 256 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: reach them? And not just for convenience, although that's great too, 257 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: but I mean a preparedness plan if a natural disaster happens, 258 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: or if there's a serious service disruption, power outage, anything 259 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: like that. Rapid radios delivers peace of mind when it 260 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: matters most. Last year, Hurricane Helen knocked out power and 261 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: phone lines across the Carolinas, in fact, western North Carolina 262 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: in particular.

The populist left is on 281 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: the move. You've got a whole bunch of major figures 282 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: of the Democrat socialist side of things coming forward for 283 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: this guy, Mom, Donnie, and it's indicative I think of 284 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: what you're going to see a lot more of which 285 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: is Democrats who on the in the Purple States, they're 286 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: gonna be pretending that they're not like this, and in 287 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: places like New York where they have a total political monoculture. 288 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: The left is ascendant within the. 289 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: Democrat Party after this election, Clay, someone might have thought 290 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: you could have made the assessment. I don't think we did, 291 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: but one could have made the assessment. Oh, the Democrats 292 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: are gonna have to moderate now. The Democrats are gonna 293 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: have to I mean, things are getting so crazy that 294 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is even leaving open the possibility of running 295 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: again in the next election cycle in her most recent interview, 296 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: which was very bothersome, I must say, because that's a 297 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: very expensive thing for me. If she does run, she's. 298 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: Gonna run, You're gonna have to buy me another steak. 299 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: We come back. 300 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 1: We will have some fun with Gavin Newsom and some 301 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: of the comments that he made recently about growing up poor. Yeah, 302 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: he tried that. We will also get a ton of 303 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: your reactions. But in the meantime, if you live in 304 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: a neighborhood where you don't have to lock your door 305 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: at night, even in those places, you might have some issues. 306 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: I was reading buck Miami Beach, one of the most 307 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: wealthy areas of Miami Beach. They're trying to shut down 308 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: front page article in the Wall Street Journal.

And in my experienced 351 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 6: interviewing politicians, when someone says I'm not done, it means 352 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 6: they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look 353 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 6: at the bookie's odds, they put you as an outsider, 354 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 6: even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I mean, is that 355 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 6: underestimating you. 356 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 7: I think there are all kinds of polls that will 357 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 7: tell you a variety of things. 358 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: I've never listened to polls. 359 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 6: If I listen to polls, I would have not run 360 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 6: for my first office or my second office, and I 361 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 6: certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview. 362 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: All right, Bob behind and hold on a second stake 363 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: man behind Dwayne the run for any office the Rock Johnson. Okay, 364 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: So before you start sharpening your steak knife, sir, for 365 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: what won't be determined for at least another year and 366 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: a half, let's just be clear. She should her numbers 367 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: now should be the best. They're the best they're likely 368 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: to be because the more people think about what a 369 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: disaster she was. As she gears up to run again, 370 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: I think the worst it gets for her, Clay, she 371 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: is behind Random. She was the vice president for four 372 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: years and she is now according to you like the poll, 373 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean the betting sites. According to betting sites, Random 374 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: celebrity movie stars are more likely to run and be 375 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: the nominee than Kamala Harris. I don't know exactly which 376 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: site she was. This British interviewer for the BBC was 377 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: sighting and I wanted to look them up, and I 378 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: will in fact look them up while we are talking. 379 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: She's gonna run, and I just come back to she 380 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: has nothing else. And I know we've joked about they 381 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't even let her be the president of UCLA or 382 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: the chancellor or whatever it's called of UCLA or of 383 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: cal Berkeley. But I don't think there's any doubt she 384 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: might be able to get UCSB. It's a great spot. 385 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Nothing against UCSB, but she needs this because there is 386 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: nothing else. 387 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 2: She has nothing else. She's sitting around, she's bored. Uh, 388 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: she has no uh. 389 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: In fact, other things going on here is what the 390 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: latest odds are so this is the US Gavin Newsom, 391 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: and will play some Gavin Newsom cuts for you next 392 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: hour because he is in a legenist liar the likes 393 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: of which I'm not ole agonus, So you going only 394 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: agnus only agnis pronunciation, I believe too. I'm not great 395 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: at pronouncing words. I read way more than I listen, 396 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: so this has to happen to you all the time. 397 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: To Buck, I know words, and I can spell them, 398 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: and I can use them in written context, but a 399 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of times I've never heard them actually used. And 400 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: so some of them I love, just the way that 401 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: one flows. Ole agonus, Oh, such a great word, but 402 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce it. He is unctuous. 403 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: I think I got that one right. That's a very 404 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: good one. That's a fun word. 405 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 5: You know. 406 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: You know who's really captain unctious? 407 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. 408 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: He's really such what I'm saying. 409 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: That's where he is the movie unctuous of the political class. 410 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: He is the favorite right now, Buck, right now thirty 411 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: four percent chance that Gavin Newsom, according to the gambling markets, 412 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: is the next Democrat nominee, followed by we just played 413 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: the cut.

I'm going to give 483 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: up the Travis name and I'm taking my fiance's name instead. 484 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: I would say you're out of the will. But this 485 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: Riley guy, I bet Riley's gonna do it. I bet 486 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: he's gonna be Okaz Tortes. I back, I back you 487 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: on on your assessment of that entirely and little speed, 488 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy speed. Same same rule is gonna apply. I can't 489 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: take the woman's name, is it? But that that's that's 490 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: not gonna happens, gonna happen to me imagine how any 491 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: but but this Riley Roberts guy, he may do it. 492 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna be uh a Riley Okaz Quartez that that 493 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: I would not not be surprised. He's gonna spend a 494 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: lot of time explaining why he took AOC's last name 495 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: and why he's in photos in the background holding her purse. Nonetheless. Uh. 496 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: The engagement April twenty twenty two. Been engaged for going 497 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: on four years. You know, I'm just how long will 498 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: you engaged to do what they do? I don't want 499 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: to call people. My husband and I have been married 500 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: fifty years and have ten children and couldn't be happier 501 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: when we were engaged for fifteen years, Like I don't. 502 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: There's always people do things their own way. It works 503 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: out great in general. Long engagement not the right move, 504 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: not the right move. It's that there's no reason for them. 505 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 2: Why anything. 506 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: You already said you want to get married, get married 507 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: anything more than a year. Something's up. Yeah, I just 508 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: the guy is just playing for time. He's waiting to 509 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: see whether the options are going to get better. If 510 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: you can't get engaged and married in a year, and 511 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: I look, there are exceptions like, yes, maybe your husband 512 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: is serving overseas and he's unable to come back. 513 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: Like I'm talking about if you live in the country. 514 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: Right, and you aren't on an oil rig somewhere in 515 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: the Arctic, right, and you aren't under a deep cover 516 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: in the Middle East trying to bring down terrorist organizations. 517 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: All right, I'm giving a couple of exceptions. If you 518 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: live in the United States and you are engaged for 519 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: over a year. 520 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: It is it is. 521 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Something's up. It's good advice. I'm just trying to make 522 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: people's life better. If he's not willing to do that, 523 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: then something is up. He's just playing for time. Where 524 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: are you on pre nups? Because people have been pointing 525 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: out to me there is another James Sexton out there. 526 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: Have you seen this guy? He's all over the internet. 527 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: He's a divorce attorney who shares my legal name. Obviously 528 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: you all know me as Buck. His name is James Sexton, 529 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: and he's like the divorce attorney to the stars, and 530 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: now he's become something of almost a life coach, I think, 531 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: online for people, and he's trying to tell everybody that everybody, 532 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: regardless of well should have a pre nup because otherwise 533 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: the state, meaning you know, whatever state you live in, 534 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: has one that they've already made up for you. I disagree. 535 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: I am not a pre nup guy. I mean, I 536 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: guess I'm admitting something very personal on the air here, 537 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: But unless you're like a unless you're like a Rockefeller 538 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: and you're on wife number two or three, I I 539 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: don't think prenups are the move. I mean, I had 540 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: a negative net worth when I got married, so all 541 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: I would have been doing is spreading out more of 542 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: the money that basically I owed. And we had a 543 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: negative net worth for a long time early in our 544 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: marriage too. I do understand like if I had been 545 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: where I am now and I had never gotten married, 546 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: I would be skeptical of the world out there in 547 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: a way that I was not when I was twenty 548 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: five and I got married. 549 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: So I think partly its age. 550 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: And I guess to your point, Buck, if your family 551 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: is so insanely wealthy, like the Rockefellas back in the day, 552 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: like maybe the Newsoms, which we'll talk about in the 553 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: third hour, maybe you should sit around. The word is 554 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: by the way, that Gavin Newsom had a several hundred 555 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars wedding, which will not surprise you, despite the 556 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: fact that he claimed that he was raised with no assets, 557 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: which will play for you in the third hour. I 558 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: think you have to be really wealthy to even think 559 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: about a prenum. To me, now, everyone, I maybe it's 560 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: easy to do a prenup if neither one of you 561 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: have anything. Maybe it's not that much of a fight. 562 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: And so maybe that's what he's kind of getting at 563 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: is basically just presumption that the marital union might end. 564 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: And so if you already have made decisions that are rational, 565 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: but life's circumstances changed so much. I mean, if you 566 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: don't have kids and you get divorced, to me, that's 567 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: not I understand, it's like not ideal to get divorced, 568 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: But if you don't have kids, your divorce is more 569 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: like a breakup than it is there's not a child 570 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: or share the other James sex. Then if you go 571 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: on Instagram or on TikTok, he every it's like, I mean, 572 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: maybe he's the most famous sex then out there now, 573 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: who knows. But he says, you break it down into 574 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: yours mind, communal marital property, and you just start from there. 575 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: I look, I didn't do it, and I don't advocate 576 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: for it, but I'm I think it's interesting that now 577 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: this is becoming, this is growing as a thing before 578 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: people get married, even when they This is specifically he's 579 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: saying for people because you don't know, and so set 580 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: it up now, because you can't set it up after 581 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: the fact. I mean, there's a scene I think, you know, 582 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: Donald and Ivanna they had a prenup and that was 583 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: part of one of these movies or whatever. They're negotiating 584 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: their prenup. And I do believe there was there was 585 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: a pren up there, but that's because he's a Trump 586 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: and he's got a massive fortune. And then you get 587 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: into the company, you know, the family business. You know, 588 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: how do you split up some of these things? And 589 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: some of it does get very complicated very quickly. So yeah, 590 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just just put it out there. 591 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: I just want to point out there's another James Sexton, 592 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: which is there's also a lot of a lot of 593 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: relationship advice that has been given in this segment, all 594 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: of which I would point out is flawless in general. Well, 595 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: and our wives know that both of us, Clay and 596 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: Buck respectively, according to their wives, flawless when it comes 597 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: to relationships. That's exactly right. Have all the perfect as 598 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm regularly referred to. 599 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: Frankly, Yeah, I know all right. 600 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: Gold is as valuable as it has ever been. Whether 601 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: you keeping track of the scoreboard on this or not. 602 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: Guess what it has grown about fifty five percent. That's right, 603 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: up about fifty five percent year to date. Like any commodity, 604 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: the price of gold goes up and it goes down, 605 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: but it's gone up a lot, and this is just 606 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: there's been a minor resetter to recently, but overall the 607 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: trend has been your friend with gold. 608 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: Long term. 609 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: Gold just seems like a smart investment to so many 610 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: savvy investors out there.
