1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the After Hours edition of The Clay and

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Buck Show with producer Ali.

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: And producer Greg.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 3: Hi, how are you good.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done this in a while, Greg. We try

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: to do these about once a month where we jump

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: into the feed and just you know, surprise everybody with

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: a little easter egg telling them about what goes on

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: behind the scenes here on Clay and Buck.

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been too long. I think we did this

11
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: last in.

12
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 3: June or the beginning of the summer. Yeah.

13
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's been a lot that's happened since that

14
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: period of time and wanted to take a few minutes

15
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 2: and just talk to you about it.

16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just with the recent events the assassination of

17
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, we thought there's a few things we wanted

18
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: to touch on today. But a question we get a

19
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: lot of times is how do you guys handle things

20
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: on the show when there's a breaking news event while

21
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: you're live?

22
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: Right? And this is good because actually we actually haven't

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: talked about this much off air or off Mike. So

24
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: I'd like to get your perspective about how you remember

25
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: things on that day, on that terrible day.

26
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: It's actually, let's see, it's Thursday right now at the

27
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: time that we're recording this, so it was exactly a

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: week ago. But the day before, on Wednesday, we were

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: coming to the end of our show. At that time,

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck were in their home studios, so none

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: of us were together except you and I Greg in

32
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: the New York studio, and I remember we first started

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: getting some alerts and we were in the middle of

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: a segment, and You and I were kind of looking

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: at each other, is this real?

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Is this fake?

37
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: And we didn't want to interrupt Clay and Buck in

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: their flow is what we call it when they're in

39
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: the middle of a segment, but we definitely our eyes

40
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: bulged and we both were frantically trying to confirm what

41
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: we were starting to the trickle of information that was

42
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: starting to come out.

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I can roll back even just a little

44
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: bit before that, I had gotten a call. Just taking

45
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: screening calls, I got a call from a listener who

46
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: said was kind of frantic, actually said I was. I

47
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: just got a call from my brother. He was at

48
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: this event in Utah and Charlie Kirk is been shot

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: and I misheard it and I thought it was somebody else.

50
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: I thought you said, actually, Charlie hurt and you know

51
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: who's another prominent journalists snooze, right, And so I got

52
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, we're going to look into

53
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: this because people call sometimes and say things and we

54
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: always have to check them out.

55
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Simultaneously, I was getting emails on the VIP email line

56
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: saying exactly the same thing, Charlie Kirk.

57
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Okay, because I so, I got off and I said,

58
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: I got a call about Charlie one of the Charlie's

59
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: getting shot. And you blanched because you also also were

60
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: getting the emails at the same time. You're like, I

61
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: just got I have a bunch of emails saying this

62
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: as well. And for that, once you said that and

63
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: I had that, we put it all together like, oh no,

64
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: something really bad.

65
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And then we actually went to we were going to

66
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: a commercial break at that point. And right away as

67
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: soon as we went to the commercial break, because Clay

68
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: and Buck both of their phones, they were getting text

69
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: messages and because they're live, they can't really address things

70
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: sometimes right in that moment, they don't know either, so

71
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: they immediately said to both of us, we're getting these reports.

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: You guys, confirm this, confirm this we're getting these reports,

73
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: get on it, and so we're all over the place

74
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: trying to find sources. Because, as we know, and we've

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: worked in this business long enough, usually the first twenty

76
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: four hours of a breaking news event, almost I would

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: almost wager seventy five percent of the information that news

78
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: outlets report has some level of inaccuracy. So I always

79
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: tell people, as a rule, wait for the news cycle

80
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: to play itself out, especially in the age of social media,

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: when things are flying a mile a minute. So we

82
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: were kind of hoping, this isn't true, This is just

83
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: a rumor, this isn't true. And then, unfortunately, we realized

84
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: it was indeed true. And I ran over to the

85
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Hannity's studio, which is right next to our studio, and

86
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I spoke with Hannity's producer showed me the video.

87
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was starting to see because I was doing

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: all kinds of checking. I was checking X, I was

89
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: checking all these different as well, other wires, just trying

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: to see what kind of information was out there. Oh, okay,

91
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: this is in Utah and all these others. Oh and oh,

92
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: somebody says that they have a video. So I while

93
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: you were out there talking to Linda and everybody over there.

94
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: I thought, all right, I found this video and I

95
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: started to watch it, and I watched it and it

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: was just it was jarring too terrible. Yeah, jarring is

97
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: an excellent word for it. You just felt.

98
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Awful, and we both were somewhat in denial, hoping this

99
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: was some sort of AI trick, that this wasn't real.

100
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: And then I texted it to Buck and Clay. I

101
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: showed them and I was like, could this be fake?

102
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: And that's when Buck, who does have a lot of

103
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: firearms experience, and he kind of took a look at

104
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: it and he said, I don't this does not look good.

105
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: We all at that point just immediately went into prayer,

106
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: hoping right that it wasn't what it was.

107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: And so things are going along and is he in

108
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: the hospital? Is he on the way to the hospital?

109
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: What do we know? And then the show ends suddenly,

110
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's it was the last twenty minutes of

111
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: the show, I mean, and it went fast.

112
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: It's actually less segment was it.

113
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: Was even less than the last twenty minutes. Yeah, so

114
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: it was It was really a lot of information that

115
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: we're trying to convey in a very very very short

116
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: period of time, and it wasn't until an hour or

117
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: two after the show went off the air before the

118
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: word came down that he had.

119
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: It was less than that.

120
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: It was during Will Kine's show when it was confirmed,

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: and they actually had immediately booked Buck to come on

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: his show because of his background, right, And at that

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: point in time, Buck had actually gotten word, but he

124
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: it wasn't official. So he was holding that because he,

125
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, out of respect, and he said it was

126
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: one of the hardest segments he did because he knew

127
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: and he just had to, you know, keep it together

128
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: until that could be officially confirmed for a variety of reasons.

129
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting meanwhile, I've I go home. I live

130
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: upstate a little bit, and I get on a train.

131
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: I walk out of here and I go and I

132
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: get on my train and I'm listening to w OAR

133
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: on the iHeart app. I'm listening to Sean's show, and

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: he's talking to Eric Trump. Actually, yeah, he was talking

135
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: to Eric Trump and talking about all of this stuff

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: that's going on. And then I lost a signal and

137
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: I came back and next thing I know, Linda is

138
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: talking to Jason Chafitz.

139
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: And who was there at the event?

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Who was there at the event. And then they come

141
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: on and they start talking about John Solomon reporting that

142
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: it's official that he and you know, as soon as

143
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: she said that, John Solomon said it, you knew, Yeah,

144
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: that was it. It was it was fact. Basically John

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: Solomon says it it's you know, because he's such a

146
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: reliable source.

147
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Percent And then I literally sat at my desk just

148
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: in disbelief for the next thirty minutes, like I couldn't move.

149
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: I was just staring at the TV and that chirn

150
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: saying Charlie Kirk dead. I just something just hit me

151
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: in the gut, like I just felt sadness, sorrow, but

152
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: also unbelievable anger, like I just wanted to throw things.

153
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I was so so, so angry, deeply angry, to the

154
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: point I probably said some things I'm not proud of

155
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: saying in the moment, in the heat of the moment,

156
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: because I was just so gutted. But then upon reflection

157
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: a few days later, when people were describing or talking

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: about what the punishment will be when they eventually caught

159
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the guy, and people are all like death penalty, death penalty,

160
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I actually rolled back some of my initial thoughts, and

161
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: I spoke with my husband about it, and I said,

162
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the death penalty is the

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: way he should go. I actually think a better thing

164
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: to do. I talked to you about this solitary confinement,

165
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: and the only thing he can have access to is

166
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's speeches, videos, debates, books, TV appearances.

167
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: Just that's it. That's all he gets.

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: And he has to be forced day in and day

169
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: out to consume Charlie Kirk over and over and over again.

170
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: And then my hope would be he's what twenty twenty two.

171
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: My hope would be that by the time he's twenty five,

172
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe sooner, probably sooner, he would have this major epiphany,

173
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: a major awakening about just how wrong he was, and

174
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: then he would come out and say, as a confession,

175
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: you know what, over the years in solitary listening to this,

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: listening to Charlie, I realized how deeply wrong I was,

177
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to show almost a kind

178
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: of redemption, because that, to me, would be more effective

179
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: than just death penalty, because death penalty the people who

180
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: agree with him.

181
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: Which that we'll get to that in a second.

182
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: That all the reaction to the assassination, but before that,

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: just in general, like all of the things he learned.

184
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: For him to come out later and say I was

185
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: wrong about this, then all the supporters and all the

186
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: people celebrating, then what are.

187
00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: They faced with?

188
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I just feel like that would actually be

189
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: more productive than just taking the guy out.

190
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: What do you think?

191
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. To be honest with you,

192
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I haven't I'm of two minds of the whole thing.

193
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: It was really I don't know. It's really hard. Death

194
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: penalty may be too good for him. But at the

195
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: same time.

196
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he wanted to commit suicide. Their finding now anyways,

197
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: So why just give him that and then nothing? There's

198
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: nothing gained. The left is still gonna think he's a martyr,

199
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: They're still going to cheer him.

200
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 3: I don't feel like anything is gained.

201
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: Whereas if you expose him to Charlie Kirk and force

202
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: feed him, essentially there's no way he can't see the

203
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: air of his ways.

204
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if that would pass forth, pass Fourth Amendment, muster, Yeah,

205
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: you know, that would be an interesting That would be

206
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: an interesting way of approaching a nice, nice penalty. But

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: for me. You talked about going home, and it's a

208
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: similar sort of I had a similar sort of reaction.

209
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: I just had a dark cloud. There was a pall

210
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: over me. And I came home and I talked to

211
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: my wife and how are you? I said, I'm not good.

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: I am not good. There was just such a cloud

213
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: over me and everything. And I hugged her and I

214
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: held her and I cried a little bit. And it

215
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: was the same, you know, and then come, you know,

216
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: go to bed, eat something, go to bed, come back

217
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: into the office the next day and the same sort

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: of thing. There was just a cloud over everything. I

219
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: talked to Linda, I talked to Sean's staff, and it

220
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: was just everybody just was kind of a zombie and

221
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: walking in a daze. And you know, prepping for that

222
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: show that day. I knew that that was really going

223
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: to be the only thing we were going to be

224
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: talking about. That was the only thing.

225
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: We were going to be the next two days.

226
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: So it was really trying to trying to get ready

227
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: for that. Those shows. Was it was like walking through

228
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: Hayz I don't remember it.

229
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Kept texting our group chat and he was like, I

230
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: still can't believe it, Like it's almost like we're in disbelief.

231
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: It took a while, three days in and we're still

232
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: like did this really happen? Are we in an alternative universe? Like?

233
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: Did this really happen? And now we get to the reaction,

234
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: the lovely reaction.

235
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,119
Speaker 1: I unfriended so many people, people that I'm actually saddened

236
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: and remarkably disappointed in that they had the types of

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: reactions they did.

238
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: And look I have.

239
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: I would say the majority of my friends are on

240
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: the left. I live in New York City. It's the

241
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: product of my environment.

242
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: But some of them, I'm like, you're adults, your parents.

243
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: I would expect dumb college kids who don't know any better,

244
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: who are indoctrinated college students, as Rush would say, young

245
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: skulls full of mush. I would almost expect that from

246
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: stupid kids. But some of my peers I'm in my fifties,

247
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: that are parents that were like, oh, well he said this,

248
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: and oh one time he said that. And by the way,

249
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,479
Speaker 1: some of the things that they were posting, like statements

250
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: fully out of context, clearly had never listened to a

251
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: word the guy said, misquoting him. Oh my god, and

252
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. As a justification that

253
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: this was okay. I was so revolted over that reaction.

254
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my reaction too. I ran into that

255
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: a little bit with people close to me and online

256
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: and in my day to day life as well.

257
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: Greg.

258
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: When you think about how we got to this place

259
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: where something like this could occur, you ask yourself how

260
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: and why?

261
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, this has been this groundwork has been being laid

262
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: for a long time now many I mean many, many,

263
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: many years. You actually had suggested putting together this montage

264
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,479
Speaker 2: about looking and calling the president a fascist and Hitler

265
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: and hit Nazi, all of these things. And this goes back.

266
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: I mean, this has been part of the liberal slash

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: Democrat playbook going back to at least George W. Bush,

268
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: and you could probably find, you know, even read in it.

269
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go and be back beyond there. Sure, So

270
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: you know, I just took a little bit from the

271
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: last couple of years, and you know, it's just an

272
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: endless and we're going to play this for you. But

273
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: my last little bit about that is it doesn't seem

274
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: like they've learned. There have been instances in the last

275
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: couple of days since we played that montage that I

276
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: could have added to that montage and you know they're

277
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: leaning in. It would double, it would double the length

278
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: of it just in the last couple of days, which

279
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: is absolutely crazy. So why don't we go ahead and

280
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: play that montage for you? It's not a stretch to

281
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: call Donald Trump a fascist?

282
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes? I do, Yes,

283
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: I do.

284
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a fascist.

285
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: And increasingly obviously fascist person, this fascist pig.

286
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 4: No one has ever been more dangerous to this country

287
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his core.

288
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: Do we want to continue democracy or do we want

289
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: to slip into fascism?

290
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: So fascist nazi? If you keep saying this stuff over

291
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: and over and over again, that is dehumanizing. And I

292
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: actually thought claim Buck addressed this really really well this

293
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: week because they were talking about, you know, baby Hitler, and.

294
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: Oh that baby Hitler argument drives me crazy.

295
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Talk about that a little bit well.

296
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Because it's like hindsight, Oh if you could kill baby Hitler.

297
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: But like a baby is born and then it's environment.

298
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes to the is are people born

299
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: truly evil? And I do believe in true evil, But

300
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: to just you, it's like armchair quarterbacking life, Like, you

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: don't know what any baby is going to turn out.

302
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: You don't know which paths, which where their circumstances will

303
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: lead them, right, So I almost feel like it's a

304
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't accept the premise of Okay, let's kill a

305
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: baby before it's life. Hasn't made any decision, did you say,

306
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying I just find it a weak argument.

307
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Okay. I think the idea of going back in time

308
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: and you know, the morality and the ethics of being

309
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: having to confront that situation is an interesting mind game

310
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: or brain teaser that sort of thing. It's really not

311
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: a practical thing to have a discussion about because you know,

312
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: time travel is just science fiction and there's nothing that

313
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: we can really do to really talk about. It is

314
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: just really more of just mental bubble gum.

315
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

316
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: It's like if you could have prevented that accident from happening,

317
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: or if you could go back and prevent you know,

318
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: this company falling apart.

319
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just find those type of arguments

320
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: very weak.

321
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: But that's that's the whole idea that the Left is

322
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: starting to is trying to embrace. You know, Oh, well,

323
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: we have to call Trump Hitler now because we want

324
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: to make sure that we don't go down the same

325
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: path that they went down seventy eighty years ago and they,

326
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: you know, Germany did. Germany didn't recognize what Hitler was

327
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: and all that. We want to make sure that we

328
00:15:54,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: have and you end up demonizing and dehumanizing, Yes, the

329
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: people that you're pointing the finger out and that you're

330
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: calling those names too, and it's it's a terrible and

331
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: inevitably we I mean, honestly, we should have seen something

332
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: like this Charlie Kirk coming a lot a long time ago.

333
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Clay actually he actually thought that something like this was

334
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: destined to happen.

335
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember him.

336
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: We had some concerns about that and mentioning that. But

337
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: again back to the to try to say that Charlie

338
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Kirk was a baby Trump in the making and o

339
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: maga threat and that to me is the most asinine perspective.

340
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, honestly, I really think he was a Rush

341
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: Limbaugh in the making. And yeah, we actually didn't play

342
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: the SoundBite today from Glenn Beck who filled in on

343
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: Charlie's show and brought the golden EIB microphone.

344
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: Oh we have that sound bite too. Yeah, on the

345
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: list today.

346
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: And it was on the list today. We can we

347
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: can play?

348
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't we throw that in there?

349
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

350
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: It nice. That was a nice thing Glenn's.

351
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 2: He says that he basically implies that Charlie was the

352
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: next Rush Limbaugh.

353
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: I brought something with me today that I thought was

354
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 5: appropriate while I did the show that I would sit

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: in front of Charlie's microphone. It was given to me

356
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 5: after the death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife. It

357
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: is Russia's golden microphone. I think it's appropriate that it

358
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 5: sits in front of Charlie's microphone. Charlie was a pastor

359
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 5: and a priest and listening to the way he could

360
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 5: argue and think differently. He was a rabbi as well,

361
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: and one of the best. He was a political organizer.

362
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 5: He was a political think take himself. He was a

363
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 5: compassionate friend. He surpassed Rush Limbaugh by miles.

364
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: We turning Point USA.

365
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: We found an old archive clip that they posted and

366
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: I didn't even find this in our owner archives, so

367
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: I was glad I saw this. It was from January

368
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: eleventh of twenty and eighteen, and it was Rush describing

369
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: the first time he met Charlie Kirk, and it actually

370
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: gave me the shivers when I listened to it. I'm

371
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: not going to say anymore. I'm just going to let

372
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: you hear it too.

373
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: There was a conference what was it three Turning Point USA.

374
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 4: How many kids were there? Three thousand student activists here

375
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 4: in was actually over at West Palm Beach. And this

376
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 4: is a group that has been put together and operates

377
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 4: under the auspices of Charlie Kirk, right, who is a

378
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: You're going to be hearing that name if you haven't.

379
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: He is enough Charlie. Let me just tell you. Let

380
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: me just tell you. I don't want to jinx him,

381
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 4: but I'm.

382
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: Just going to tell you.

383
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: They brought Charlie Kirk to the golf course to meet

384
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: me about a month ago. He was in town to

385
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: set up this Turning Point thing, and they brought him

386
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 4: to the golf course to meet me. It was during

387
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: We're getting ready for a eight forty five am start,

388
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: and they brought him out while I was getting ready

389
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: to go to the range loosen up, and I spoke

390
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: with him for about a half hour, and he told

391
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: me how he grew up in a home where my

392
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 4: program was on all the time. He was just effusively

393
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 4: complimentary to me, which which I of course understood and

394
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: told him he's very wise, his family's very wise. He chuckled,

395
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: he laughed. This is the kind of guy that you

396
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: can see really becoming big in politics as he gets older.

397
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: He just has the kind the carriage, the personality, the charisma.

398
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: You may think this sounds weird, but I remember when

399
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton became president. There were all of these stories

400
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: about Bill Clinton at Oxford and Bill Clinton at Yale,

401
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: and Bill Clinton here and all these people who went

402
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 4: to school with him. There were story after story after

403
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 4: story where people were saying that they just knew Bill

404
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: Clinton was going to be president someday in college. He

405
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: just had that kind of ambition and the impressed people

406
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 4: in a way that he could. Peggy Noonan even told

407
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: me this. Peggy Noonon went to one of these these

408
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: weekends that Democrats do before we concocted it for ourselves,

409
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 4: the Restoration weekend that Hurwitz does. The Democrats had one

410
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 4: of those long before we did, and Peggy Noonon went

411
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: to one. And this was before nineteen ninety two, this

412
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: is before Clinton got the nomination. She came back extolling

413
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: this guy's virtues to me, the governor of Arkansas, and

414
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: of course I was I was kind of leery because

415
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 4: here's Peggy, a supposed conservatives, singing the virtues of this

416
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 4: Arkansas Democrat governor. In fact, that was the first time

417
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: I had heard anything significantly positive about about Clinton.

418
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: It was from her.

419
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you that people are saying the same

420
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: things about Charlie Kirk.

421
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: Rush was always very pruscient, and he was right on

422
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: about Charlie Kirk. I mean that was from two thousand

423
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: and eight.

424
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: I know, I know, seven years ago, almost eight years ago.

425
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: One thing that really hits me is that Charlie Kirk

426
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: was taken out in the way that they tried to

427
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: take out.

428
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: Trump at Butler.

429
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely that lower than I reserve all the words I

430
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: want to say that individual. He succeeded where the Butler

431
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: assassin did not. And in some way, I don't even

432
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: know how to articulate the thoughts I have, because we

433
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: could have been going through this last year, last summer,

434
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: and you know what, we would have also been going

435
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: through the reaction, which would have been amplified by so much.

436
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so I don't I can.

437
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: Barely handle this. I can't imagine how I would have

438
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: handled that.

439
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, as bad as it was the reaction from the

440
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: left on about Charlie Kirk, it would have been tenfold

441
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: one hundredfold worse if they had succeeded in Butler against

442
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: President Trump. But nobody has taken shots at Keith Obermin.

443
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: Nobody's taken shots at Don Lymon, nobody's taken shots at

444
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: Brian Stelter or Jake Tapper or any of that. None

445
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: of those people, Rachel maddout, nobody is, No one is

446
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: doing that. And all I keep hearing about from the

447
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: Southern Poverty Law Center is, you know, Christian nationalism and

448
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: white supremacy and far right altra right as the major dangers.

449
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: It's just not borne out by the fact.

450
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: We had a couple events coming up that we've had

451
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: to cancel, yep, because just for our own host safety.

452
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take that risk. Am I gonna take

453
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: that chance?

454
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, but my head's on

455
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: a swivel now every time I leave the building, every

456
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: time I'm walking out on the street and heading for

457
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: the train, and I'm constantly Yeah.

458
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: We had a security guard escort us escort us on

459
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Tuesday when we brought Clay to the stephen A. Smith

460
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: debate and we had to walk a few blocks. We're

461
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: in midtown Manhattan, going through Times Square, hundreds of people,

462
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: and I mean I was like the Exorcist in my head,

463
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: was spinning around so much looking at everybody we passed.

464
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. I was on record as opposing

465
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: you actually got you guys actually walking.

466
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean I had my pepper spray and that was

467
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: about it. But we did have the guard. But still,

468
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: this is kind of terrifying time.

469
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: It's a scary time that we happen to live in.

470
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: And that's that's been the hard part too, is just

471
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,200

480
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: a lot to them too. That, just knowing they have

481
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: a huge audience that has their back and that supports them,

482
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: and we stand strong and we keep speaking our minds

483
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,160

484
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: from you. Thanking them that meant the world to them

485
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,920

486
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: thank you to our audience for doing that.

487
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're always really grateful when you reach out, when

488
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: you touch base with them in any manner. And it's

489
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: been a rough it's been a rough week.

490
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 3: It's been a rough week.

491
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: It's been a rough week.

492
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: A good segue right now would be to talk about

493
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: our sponsor, Chuck.

494
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh, talk to me about.

495
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to lean on our friend Chad this week.

496
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Chad as in Chad Mode from chalk dot com. Chad

497
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: Mode is a powder supplements that you just pour into

498
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: your water, mix it up. It looks like the color

499
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: of one of Buck's nice Cashmeir sweaters he wears a

500
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: lot and gives you a natural boost.

501
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Buck is actually using this as I would

502
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: call daily as far as with his work out.

503
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: Well, he's using Chalk Daily, which is a supplement set

504
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: of other supplements. But when he was writing his book,

505
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: Chad mode was his mode. He needed that and because

506
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: it not only helps you before a workout, like actually

507
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: get through physically the workout, but it also.

508
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: Helps your mind.

509
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: So if you just need to stay sharp and focused,

510
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,439

00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: you can just say, okay, Chad, you and I just
