  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great trip.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You know one of my veteran organizations I belong to Phantom Airborne Brigade.

  Speaker 2: A bunch of good folks.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: You can check them on the internet Funding.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: You know it's a 501-3C nonprofit, so if you want to throw some money their way, that would be much appreciated.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But great time with a bunch of old paratroopers.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And yes, I made it alive and unscathed.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Phew, thank goodness you guys, we got to get you back here for this show.

  Speaker 1: That's the priority.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Never mind everything else in your life, you know, never mind that stuff.

  Speaker 1: It's all about the show Clay.

• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, I'm glad you have your priorities right.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, right after this we're going to get on with the show.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, we are back.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: We've got lots of stuff to talk about and I don't know if you noticed or not changed up the music a little bit.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It's time for a little change, felt like a little update was due, so that's what we did.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Feel free to tell us what you think.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: If you liked it, you hated it or you don't care, go ahead, tell me you don't care.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I like when people, I actually love when people do that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I love when people come into my, my video comments and you know, and I'm assuming they watch through the whole thing and they wait for the very end and then they jump in the comments to say who cares?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly you do if you're commenting.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah those probably happen in the first seven seconds.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I swear that I think they do, they're not waiting the seven to 10 to 12 minutes to tell you that they don't care.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They love to tell me.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I appreciate their energy, appreciate that passion or lack thereof.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Whatever let's talk about, let's talk about Biden.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: This is so.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: This is so crazy.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: This is so shocking to me, and it shouldn't be.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Why would I be shocked about this?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But everybody has to be scratching their heads right now, going hang on a second, hang on a second, and I know I know that enough people are, because there, you know, there's memes and things going around all over the place, and I saw one that some did up really well, and you've probably seen this one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: My throat up is probably going to come up like right between us.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But is this the one?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this one thing and I'm moving the banner out of the way, so as if Biden is too feeble to be prosecuted.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He's too feeble to be president.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Now, this seems kind of like a no brainer, doesn't it?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It feels like a no brainer, and yet there's not going to be any charges.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: There's no apparent plan that we know of to take them, take them out of commission here, and I want to talk about why, why, why?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Let's let's throw some opinions out there on why we think that's the case.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Why are they not putting this guy out to pasture?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So I think you know, congress, there was talk immediately after the special counsel came out, because that's where this came from.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I shall counsel.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: This is a legal opinion.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: This is not, you know, and I think that's the the difference is it's not a medical opinion.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So there is a, you know, split between the two, but the legal opinion matters, right, if he's too reminded to be prosecuted, he's too old, his memory is bad, I think.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The words where he is an elderly, well intentioned man with a very poor memory, so I think those are the exact words that that were used yeah, you got it, but that that keeps him from being prosecuted Like department of justice special counsel says we're not going to pursue this because he is incapable of being dried due to his mental capacity or lack thereof.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So I think that what's, what is the hangup is this is not a medical opinion and that, unfortunately, the White House, medical staff, the doctors and everybody else continually say that the president is in perfect shape, he's fine, only capable of doing his job.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And you hear, you know the White House, you know press, whatever her name is, I can never remember.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, kareem, jean Pierre yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Jean-Claude Van Damme.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is, yeah, exactly.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'm always tempted to say that too.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she, you know, she defends him all the time and he defends himself.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: He got up there.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: The White House press corps went after him a little bit and he turned into the angry old man get off of my lawn.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get off my lawn.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I, my memory is perfect, you know he gave all of that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: But again, I think the biggest thing is is that it's the difference between the legal opinion and the medical opinion.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Now, I, I would.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I would say that any American with any sense at all, if you can't objectively look at this and say that this is genuinely, truly messed up, then you probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You probably don't have the capacity to vote Absolutely, and I don't say things like that often, but this is so blatant, yes, that if a legal you know a legal opinion is is that you can't be held accountable, you know tried, then you shouldn't be president.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Period Right, and you know it's.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's amazing to me, because there are people you said it like, there's people that are like so yeah, yeah, so, flat out.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So better than Trump, better than Trump, right, I'd rather take this feeble old man than you know who's.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Who's clearly in a drastic, dramatic decline.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That is getting more rapid by the day by the day and they're saying still better.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Now, that's, that's just to me.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know, take your voter card away from you, take your intelligence card, whatever it is, you get none.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You have none.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You have no business being a part of any part of this process, and you know, obviously, that's not going to happen.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: These, these idiots are still going to place their votes, and you know, for anything, not Trump, basically, and that's, that's their, that's their sole criteria.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They don't care about anything.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They certainly don't care about this country.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: They just care that it's not Trump.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So I, really I have a very strong contempt for those people and for the people right now in the White House, for Joe Biden, for anyone surrounding this man.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: This is elder abuse.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: At this point, Elsa, I've said this for really since the, since the campaign.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that she she is, and I've tried to, I've bitten my tongue, I've tried to say it as nicely as possible, but I've used the words elder abuse, neglect.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would tell you, watching this as it continues to progress, that Dr Jill Biden is number one the worst first lady we've ever had yes, without question, worst first lady we've ever had.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And second, she is a horrible human being, not even a horrible wife.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: She is a horrible, horrible human being and you know people could say I'm attacking her.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You're right, I am, because what she is standing by and allowing to happen is reprehensible should be prosecuted in accordance.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, yeah, and and if anybody needs to be held accountable for this, it's her.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Because he is outside of his mental faculties.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: She is responsible for him as his spouse, as his next of kin to.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: You know, make those types of decisions.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: This is, this is on her, yeah, as much as it, more so than it is anybody else, and she is just a horrible, horrible human being for allowing this to go on.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not biting my tongue anymore.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That woman should be in jail.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: You know, at the end of this, all of this if he even survives the next few months, the campaign which I still offer will probably has the potential to kill him.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: She should be in jail for this.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: She really, really should.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Based on the last handful of videos and I would say about three videos, the most recent three videos that I've seen there's in my mind.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: There is no way he's going to be around for much longer.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The level of decline, like I said before, is so drastic, it's so sharp, it's like off a cliff.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: This is Morgan Sherwin and Sam Sorrity.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: There are team members here.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They help us, they help us, serve us, they bring him in to wherever and he starts to shuffle forward and the guy actually puts his hand on him like this, pushing him back, like as a child, like when you hold back a kid from running ahead and going too fast, and then the woman that he's introduced to the way she even speaks to him.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: She literally was speaking to a child.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You're automatic, you're default when you start talking to a child and you can hear.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You don't see her, but she's in the background and you hear her say Hi.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You know like hi, little old man, hi, little child.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: It was like Miss Rachel.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: If any of the parents out there knew who I'm talking about, you might be dull, because we're I only know because of the grandkids, but she's a kid's show host, whatever, but she's got that very, very high and pleasing voice to children, not to adults, but that was the whole gist of it, and it was in his face.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It was completely blank.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It was so and I genuinely despise the man.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I think he is a horrible, right along with Jill.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I think they are horrible, horrible people.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And yet I actually felt bad in that moment, not for Joe Biden, but for that old man who had no idea where he was and he was just being carted around and just heard it about.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It is horrendous, and I'm glad you didn't pull any punches on Jill Biden, because she deserves none.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: She deserves no credit, no, nothing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: She is as horrible as she said she is and it is within her power, I would imagine, to just stop this and say no, we can't do this anymore, it's got to be done.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's a lot of reasons.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there are significant reasons why they're not.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And, by the way, I just saw today that Jean-Claude Van Damme, their Garene Jean-Pierre, just said that I think it was her that said it, but they put out the statement that Biden will not be taking a cognitive test.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He's the first president to decline to refuse not to say decline, refuse to take a cognitive test.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So I mean, if nothing else told you what's going on here, that's the final straw right there, that's the final nail in the coffin.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's probably pretty morbid, giving who and what we're talking about overall, but yeah, so so crazy to me and it's all wrong.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Now I can only speculate here.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It is something that's bounced around in my head, and I don't think I'm far fetched here, because I think a lot of people have thought this too.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Besides what you said, which is very logical and practical, that you know that was a legal assessment, not a medical assessment the next thing you would have to say is everybody's, you know, looking to his left or maybe his right, whatever you want to call it, and looking who's next in line, who's jumping on board and filling that seat, you know who's the seat warmer until this next election goes on, and obviously we all know the answer to that is Cami.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It's Cacklin Cami, and nobody and I mean nobody wants that, maybe a couple of nutjobs who just want her because of her skin color, and you know biology.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: But generally people in their own camps are like no frickin way, we have got a weekend at Bernie's, this guy until the end, and you know and ride this out, because then you know obviously what's next.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Well, she jumps in.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The next line of action is do they have to nominate her?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You know for for the president, you know for president.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: What do they do?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: What do they do?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: So I think they've got quite the conundrum.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Unless they have it all planned out, I mean I have no idea.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: What do you think You're you're?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: You're right about the vice president.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So she the biggest reason why he has not been pulled.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: He's not going to be pulled prior to the election.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Unless they're pulled, you know, the decision is to not run again.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Right, that's the only, that's the only way out of this.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Because if they pull him for cognitive reasons, whatever, and they put her in right, if the fifth amendment isn't active in some form or fashion, or if he steps down for medical reasons and she becomes the president, then, yes, the democratic the DNC is is put in a bad spot, because they either have to endorse her as the next candidate or they don't, in which case everybody says she's incapable, she's not going to run her again as the democratic national committee.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Then you are saying she's incompetent, incapable, which they're not going to do.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: So that's the reason why you're not seeing the turnover.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And it's all political.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're torturing this poor old man.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'll go back to the.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: The denial of the cognitive test.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Your husband, right?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: You know the law enforcement officer.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: What happens in every state and union when you refuse a field sobriety test, you're immediately guilty, you get put put on you, you get thrown in the back of the car you get taken to the station.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Right that you refuse a breathalyzer, refuse fields, a briety test.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: You're done and you're going to the holding cell and you're getting charged.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And, and, and, and, and.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: When you're Joe Biden, you get.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You get ice cream.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: And fine, listen, if they want to put him in a home somewhere and feed him ice cream every day, good, he's 80, 80 years old, fine, he'll be in a crowd with a bunch of guys just like him.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But but this is, it is criminal.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I mean it really, really is criminal.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: And I and I swear that the the 25th amendment process One.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it'll happen fast enough to really affect anything.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: But, two, the hang up is no medical, that's it, that's it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: This is based on a legal opinion, not on a medical opinion, and as soon as that happens, then you know it's.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I think the whole 25th amendment goes down the drain, because they don't have any, any medical opinion that says so, yeah, and he's refusing to take the test.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: So they're not going to get a medical opinion, right, it's just forced the issue.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: So and you know, and you know, Kamala's got to be sitting there in the background gone.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You better put me in, put me in coach, you better put me in.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And they're like no, I, you know, yeah, I, I already agrees with you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I can't, I can never decide what that woman is really thinking.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: If she does, she come yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, thinking a lot of nothing A whole bunch of nothing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, maybe she thought she would just ride this out until the end.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And, you know, go off and do whatever it is she wants to do next.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know two schools of thought, of course.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: She's either dying to get in there and make her mark which is the mark whatsoever or she knows what the real deal is is that she too will be just a puppet, just a figurehead.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: She has no power, no real say, no nothing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: There's puppet masters pulling all of those strings, which has been the case all along.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And and you know, let's, let's face it, we all know, whether you want to believe it or agree with it or not, we all know that the Biden crime family is about as corrupt as you can get.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So I am sure there was so much going on in the background that they maybe can't even do anything.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe when he still had his mental faculties about him, maybe he, you know, gave them a little bit of listen.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You throw me under the bus, you toss me.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Here's what's going to happen.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You know all these things are, you know, and you're going to get called out.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You're going to get called out and a lot of things are going to.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Who knows they're just, they're just a bunch of dirty, disgusting people.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: They just are.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And here's what we do know right, and this is, you know.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: The segue to the next topic is that he is not being prosecuted for the classified documents, right, but President Trump still is.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Again, how you know?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: How is that?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Anybody with conscience at all, anybody with common sense, anybody with a conscience, has to look at that and go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: It can't be this way.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: It can't be.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: The guy sitting in office is mentally incapable of standing trial, but yet he's gonna stay in office and he's not gonna get prosecuted because he's mentally incapable, but yet the guy who's challenging to replace him, who is mentally capable, is gonna get prosecuted so that he can't replace him in office.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Like it's the most backwards thing you ever wanted to see.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if I explained that correctly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: That's how backwards all of this is, but that's you know it's crazy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: You know that we've got, we continue to have, and we talked about this last week or two weeks ago.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You know it seems like more and more of these court cases against President Trump are crapping out.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: They're all fading away.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: But this one seems to be holding true for some unknown reason, but I would imagine, as it progresses, it's gonna get thrown out or it's gonna get taken out on appeal because of the precedent set with President Biden.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was, you know, yeah, for Trump, this was probably one of the best things that could have happened.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Certainly because now you know, you have this blatant comparison and it's not sort of kind of like, it is exactly Exactly, it is exactly like you know, and worse on Biden's part.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He's got stuff, yeah, stuff, in his Corvette and in his offices from back when he was Vice President, stuff that he shouldn't even had in the first place.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I mean boxes and boxes and boxes of things, apparently, or files and files, if not boxes, files upon files, in such disregard for who could find them, who could read them.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You know mentioned it before in his Corvette or in his garage with his Corvette, you know, whereas I think Trump's, whatever Trump had were in like in his home, in his office, somewhere secured, basically, you know.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So absolutely insane.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And I think you know, if there is any justice in the world, then this will reflect or affect Trump's case favorably.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: And what else is he got?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, besides all the other cases he's got going on, also the latest now there are a possibility of Fannie Willis getting disqualified in Georgia because of her undisclosed relationship, you know, I mean, are these people for real?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I mean they are so corrupt.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: The corruption part of it is ridiculous.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And so and I am not one at all to give Ilian Omar a pass.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, she's been accused of a number of things, including marrying her brother, right, which is kind of weird.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you that, as a culture thing, right, having spent a lot of time in the Middle East, a little bit, a very little bit of time in Africa, but a lot of time studying Africa and even other parts of the world that you know, greasing palms she's actually I'm a kid from Chicago.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: This happens there too.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But greasing palms and doing things like being on the take and getting paid to do things that are part of your job anyway, and things that morally we would expect them to do, like that is a culture thing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is business as usual, nobody bats an eye at it because it happens all the time, and she comes from that kind of culture, right, somalia is that kind of culture.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: So, while we have a whole bunch of laws, campaign laws and other things that she's violated, you know for her, you know what, like not a big deal, now, that's not Fannie.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Like you know, she's from Georgia.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Like, this is an American like she and oh, by the way, she's a lawyer and the law and legality is her life.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: So for her, this is a character thing, this is a lack of humility, a lack of hubris, like you know what I mean.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Like you know, I think this is like you said how can these people walk into these jobs, take on something this pronounced and believe that no one is gonna dig into what they're doing or who they are or every aspect of their life?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: You know, this is Jesse Smollett, all over again.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know that guy should have known that everything that well, I mean, he was probably out of his mind, but you know he should have known that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And Fannie should have known the same thing she should have known, especially when she put up such a snit about not being removed from the case, that every truck supporter in the world was gonna dig into every aspect of her life and if she was doing anything wrong she was gonna get caught.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you know, I mean I think the only thing I can come up with this, because these are not stupid people, these are not ignorant people, these are educated people.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: So it's arrogance, it's flat out arrogance that they, you know, they sincerely believe that they're above the law, they're above reproach, they're, you know, which is in itself incomprehensible, because you see, these things happen over and over and over again and these exact types of things, although, of course, the whole Trump thing is such a unique experience for the whole world, I think.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's the arrogance for me that gets me every time like, wow, you really believe that you could just, you could just do these things without any accountability.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Well, here's your accountability.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You know, now you're in the spotlight, now you're in the hot seat, and rightly so, deservedly so, based on, you know, everything that's coming to light and you know, good, for I'm assuming that it had to be Trump's team that you know is doing the digging and finding these things, if they're doing their job right, you know, obviously, but holy cow, man, it's bananas.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Well, and then you've got the, you know, the Colorado ballot issue, which I think I don't know if a formal decision's been offered, but that's going to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court is essentially, I think, the initial read is that all nine justices are like yeah, you can't do that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we shouldn't do that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Even Bill Maher right, who, really, into the last probably two years, has been a liberal lunatic for a long time.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And it's really kind of coming around and applying a lot of common sense to things that he used to be vehemently against, which has been interesting to watch, by the way.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Fascinating to watch.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: But even he said he's like, if this happens like Colorado as an example, because you know there's other states Maine and some other ones that are trying to keep him off the ballot, but Colorado he was talking specifically he said if this happens, if this passes and it is allowed that he is removed from the ballot, this will become the norm.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: This will become the new norm for every election that rolls around is that there will be lawsuits to have people removed from the ballot as a political tactic, whether it's necessary, valid, required, whatever, but that's gonna be the tactic.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: If this is allowed, it's gonna happen every four years, guaranteed, and probably will trickle its way down, because that's how politics works.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: It will trickle its way down to state, from federal elections to state elections, to local elections, and you will start to see you know, all of these things happening where.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't like him, or we think he's gonna beat us anyway, or you know she's got more power than we can account for, she's gonna throw a wrench in the election.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is Okay, well, let's have her removed from the ballot, let's file suit and have her pulled or him pulled, and we'll alter the election that way, because that's what it is.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You're rigging the election.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's a-.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You're rigging it for people, though, right, right, and you know people.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: You're right and people they forget or disregard that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: You know this has such widespread, long lasting implications and you know, you think this is the end of it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: You think if this happens, you think it's never gonna happen again.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: You don't think this is the door being kicked open for this type of thing to happen.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: You're out of your idiot mind if you don't see what's coming down the pike here and what this means, what the implications of this are.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, and already so many things have happened that are setting a precedent for all future.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: You know presidencies and actions, so they better rein it in, man.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I hope the Supreme Court does the right thing and I'll tell you what.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care who the nomin I don't care if it's Trump, I don't care who it is, I want what is right to be done, and this is clearly outright.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And anyone who hates Trump and we all know they're very vocal with how much they hate him shame on you if you don't support what's right.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: And to see what's going on right now and to say this is okay because you don't like him, boy, that's gonna bite you in the ass, bite you real hard, and you know I'll sit back and laugh at you when it does, because you brought it on yourself.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: And this is an all or nothing proposition, because you know, whether it's the weaponization of the DOJ that started back at the raid at Mar-Lago, whether it's removing him from the ballot through lawsuits, whether it's the seven lawsuits that are sitting with his name on it prosecuting him for everything possible, you know, whatever it is, this is an all or nothing proposition.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And here's why President Trump has a lot of character flaws.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: You and I are not shy about saying Nope.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: And I, and he has.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I would say he's come out and said it, maybe not as clearly, but he probably will.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: That man, he is vengeful, and this you know.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And I say it's all or nothing because if they don't, if this is an unsuccessful political tactic by the Democratic Party to remove him from the election before it ever happens, which is the goal if they fail in doing that and he is elected, he is gonna.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: He's gonna swing a hammer and it's gonna get ugly real fast now.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: No question, I oh right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: What all of us owe is to make sure that we hold him and the Republican Party as accountable in 18 months as we are holding the Democrats and President Biden everybody else accountable during the election period.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: So when he does win which he probably is gonna win and he starts Acting like an idiot, right, and he does become vengeful and he does start doing things that aren't the love for the long-term good of the Country, like you were talking about, right, need to make sure that we hold him and those around him accountable for their actions, because it's also not right when it's red, it doesn't matter what color it is.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Right is right and wrong is wrong.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: And we, we can't stand by and say you know well, you brought it on yourself.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: No right, two wrongs don't make it right.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I think we read that somewhere.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: We were probably taught that, I don't know.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you know, this is we.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: We owe that right, and it's people like me and you that have a voice and a platform.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: It is, trust me, that the mainstream media is gonna say it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: That's for damn sure.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, but but everybody who is a, you know, conservative Supporter, you know, even Trump supporters need to make sure that he doesn't get out of hand, because it's still not right, no matter what right.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, I think you know the thing.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes rabid Trump supporters Forget, you know, and and both sides have their, their rabid fanaticles.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So this is kind of a blanket statement to all of them we need to stop focusing less on our obsession with supporting an individual and Remember our number one priority, our number one concern is this country, what's best for this country, not, you know, I hate that guy, so I'm all about this.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: This is my guy and you know I'm all about him.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: That's great to you know.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Have a love and affection for your Proposed leader.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I guess that's lovely.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: However, don't do it at the expense of your country and at the expense of what's, of what's right and and what's moral and what's Legal and what's good, and that should be that the Everyone's primary focus, what is best for this country as a whole.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And we tend to you know, if you're an intellectual voter and not an emotional voter, you tend to vote on the Things that matter to you personally, your family, for example.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: We became Trump supporters because we're a law enforcement family and Trump has been consistently hardcore, passionately supportive of law enforcement and military, and that was appealing to us.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: So that was thing number one for us.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You know, we were able to say listen, I don't really care for the delivery.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I wish he'd stop tweeting the things that he tweeted.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You know things like that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not voting on a personality.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a jerk, I don't care if you're a sweetheart, I care about what you're doing.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You know and what.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: What you're doing for my family, what you're doing for this country, and those are the things that people should be focused on.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And I think if people actually took the time to look at the list of accomplishments of Donald Trump and during his presidency, things that he actually did and who he actually helped, it's the exact opposite of what the left wants you to believe and that, to me, is very frustrating and just flat out annoying, because information is accessible.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Granted, when you go through, you know, some of these mainstream media channels or platforms to get information, you're gonna get a lot of the left first before you sift down into At least the middle ground, if not necessarily the right, the middle.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You got to work, you got to work for, you got to look for it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But I just wish people would do that, and I know, you know there's a I'm not gonna say the whole saying because it's pretty coarse, but it's.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: If you wish in one hand to do something else in the other, I Get that whole thing, you know.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: But a girl, girl can dream.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Girl can dream for at least one minute here.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: But you know, and to your point about the media and again transitioning topics, you know it's hard when the messaging isn't even true.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Right, elected officials, right, and the current messaging is our border situation is Trump's fault.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everything's Trump's fault.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah especially that you know it's not the guy who is trying to solve that problem.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: It's his fault that it's not solved, because he's not president.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And now it's.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And now it's Republicans fault because they voted against the border bill, because, as we said last week, it was a crap bill, right, so.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: So the messaging isn't even good from our elected officials and then it's piled on by the mainstream media.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: So you really got to dig to get the true story.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: And you know, for those of you out there, what we're talking about is, you know, another example of a failure of you know, the sanctuary city.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: You know concept.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: We talked Chicago a number of times, obviously that's, you know, for me that's an important, an important place.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: You know it's where my family's, that's where I grew up, so I pay attention to it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: But New York we talked about, you know, we have talked about in the past that the four migrants that you know beat up the two jump the two cops beat them up, then got released on no bail you know, no cash bail, flipping the bird to everybody.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: You know blah, blah, blah, blah, right, and then, yeah, I think, promptly got re arrested, states over after they got off of a Greyhound bus.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what New York City has realized?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: They have about 20, 20 Shelters specifically for the migrants that have been sent up by Governor Abbott from Texas.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: You know he's.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: He's the share of the wealth guy.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You know, hey, you want to be a sanctuary city, New York.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you keep saying bring it, send them over, send them over.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: We can take more and more Till we say stop right.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: And now you got Mayor Adams, who's you know, kind of in a pickle and he's trying to figure out what to do with this.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Because what is proving to be true is that these Migrants, in a lot of cases, are doing exactly what everybody is afraid of, that is, they're wandering the streets, they're committing crimes, you know.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: And he's got, he's got two solutions to that one.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: He's trying to give them prepaid credit cards, right, which, again, it's not free.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: These are paid for by taxpayers.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And it's, yes, note, right, and it's not chum change, it's like a couple of thousand dollars, right, I can't remember the exact amount, but it's a decent amount of money.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing he's doing is he he's established a curfew for the shelters 11 to 6, 2300 to 0600, 11 pm To 6 am If you're in a shelter, you better be in that shelter.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's well, you know, thank goodness.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: From 601 am Until 1059 pm.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They can, they can wreak havoc, but you know, get get to bed now.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Kids, go on now.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Get back in that shelter.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Go now night, be good, boys and girls, don't cause any trouble.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And they're like, of course I'm sure I with, without a doubt in my mind.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: They're like oh, look at the time.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, stop robbing him.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: We got to get back to the shelter quick.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Stop murdering him.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go, guys.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: The ones who are gonna break the law are gonna break the law.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, right, and unfortunately, like everything else, the people that it's restricting are the people who are doing the right things anyway.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: There's probably a number of people in those shelters who would happily go out and get a job, working in a convenience store, working at a trash dump or wherever.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: They would happily go get a job that you know works them overnight.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't care, they would take the money to make a better life for their family.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Those are the people that are getting screwed over by the nefarious ones.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Then you know, the near new wells Truthfully, don't give a shit about the curfew anyway.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: They're not by that.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: It's the same as gun laws.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Like criminals, don't care about gun laws.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the same thing.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: So it's a failed effort.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I understand what you know Mayor Adams is doing.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Is it Adams or Mick Adams?
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I think it's Adams.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I understand what he's trying to do.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I do, but you know it's a swing and a miss, because it's not stopping anything in none of it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: He's trying to put a band-aid on a, on a on the Hoover Dam.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: He's trying to.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: You know, he's trying to just plug up a problem that you know needs a tourniquet.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You just this is not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: You know, this is just absurd.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: It's absurd to even think for one second that that could be Implemented I almost said implicated, implemented.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: You know, and you're asking.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: You know essentially what you're doing now.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You're asking you're already overworked over everything law enforcement, people to Enforce this, to, to make them do this when you didn't have their back.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: You just let that, you know.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You just let.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: How many guys was it?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: It was like three, five, I don't know.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: How are, however, many of those guys that jump?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the yeah.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You know you are not on good terms right now with the people that you should be on the best Frickin terms of that I'm not saying for one second that are that the NYPD or any other police officer who's who's worth their salt Would shirk their responsibilities or not do their job.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you got a big ask what you're, what you're doing here for people who know already you don't have their back.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: You're not going to protect them or do anything for them.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Good luck with that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: And he used to be the police commissioner.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: How about me?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: that that is gotta be the biggest slap in the face.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, but but he's, he is.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: It seems that he is coming around and realizing that all of this, you know, all of this stuff that was on his platform that he, you know, professed that got him elected, was, Is not gonna work.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Right conditions changed out of his control.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Governor Abbott threw a monkey wrench and everything and said amen, you know, you like that sanctuary city thing, right, the okay you do you?
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: go.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and and look this, this is the same, is what's going on everywhere.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Chicago's the same way, all these cities, they're all having the same kinds of problems.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: There is no real solution.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: And, and again, this is why governor Abbott did it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: He said listen, this, this problem's not gonna sit in Texas Like I'm sharing the wealth.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: This is a.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: If the federal government's not gonna do their job, then it's gonna become a nationwide issue and that's what he's been doing and good for him.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: So, absolutely, I applaud that man from here until eternity for for what he's doing.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Because you're, he's putting it on their doorstep.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You know you're gonna talk the talk.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Guess what?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Now you get to walk the walk, to enjoy, have fun with that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, once again, it is just mind-boggling to me and probably every sane, rational American and human being around the world, who is sitting there saying, looking at all this transpiring, going well, no, duh, this is what is going to happen.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: What kind of idiot do you have to be to not realize this is what's going to happen?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: You know you're, you're over Everything, you're inundated, you're saturated to the max with people you're unprepared to take care of, to house, to feed and with no documentation to know what their background is and who they are.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: You know you're not bringing in.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: This isn't your, your poor, you're tired, you're, you're weak.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Your help, you know this is not that these are the worst of the worst, flooding through our borders, into our cities, our states, everywhere.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: And and these people have the audacity to go oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: We didn't know, we didn't know this was gonna be like this.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: We need some help.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and it's yeah, now I'm with you and, and you know, changing topics one more time, but it's this, is it?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: It's a trend, because what we've got is, yeah, you know, decision makers either making wrong decisions or being in the incapable of making decisions, and in this case, you know, we're talking about the Secretary of Defense having to take another stint out of out of pocket, where he's not available to do his job due to medical reasons.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Right, and so now we had, you know, multiple, we had a medical procedure that he didn't tell anybody about.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: We had an emergency medical treatment that he didn't tell anybody about.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: And then now we've got a follow-up, although supposedly not associated.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: That's what they're saying.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: So he has cancer, for everybody, that's not tracking.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: He has prostate cancer, right, and he has.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: He's been in the hospital for the last two days, I think, or so, maybe longer, with a bladder issue, and this is not a surgery, it's a local anesthetic treatment of sorts.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Right, right, regardless, regardless.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: This is in two months, less than two months.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: This is his third trip to the hospital, right.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: And each time play.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Let me just check with you.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: So each time that this happens, there has to be all of these like procedural things put in place, right Like because he is inaccessible, he's out of commission for X amount of time, so somebody else has to be put in charge, like I mean, I would imagine there's a lot of things that have to happen in very short order so that things run smoothly, or not.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: So, if you remember when he went in for the emergency procedure that nobody knew about, obviously you know there's an emergency.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: We had the discussion where it was there's.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: You know, the president has to have processes and procedures in place that he needs to be notified.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: One of his cabinet members is going to be out of pocket, right, and so that it lasted for about three hours in the news cycle, but I did catch it that the president did actually I think it was a White House chief of staff did put some, some things in place that should have been in place anyway For exactly that reason, right.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: So that's why I think this couldn't be kept a secret, because now, now, now there was no joking around a notification process that had to happen.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: But yes, there are multiple, you know, deputy secretaries of defense that will step in for, for, you know, secretary Austin, as it stands right now, depending on the situation, and actually was supposed to be on a plane today to go to Europe.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was supposed to go to a couple of conferences, including a NATO leadership conference, and I think the US ambassador to NATO is going to take his place.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: But again, this is the secretary of defense.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Can't do secretary of defense work, right?
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, I understand, and you understand life happens, Absolutely Right.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: You drive down the street, you know, blow a stop sign, get rear-ended, whatever happens, you break your ankle, you end up in the hospital.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: We get it.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: But but this is an ongoing medical condition that, let's be honest, prostate cancer is for General Austin Secretary, austin's own health.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he needs to back away, like he needs to take care of himself.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: This is prostate cancer is a killer, like no joke, it is no joke.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely he, for his own health.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: That man started in the army for, you know, 40 years Right, and I've told you that, me included, everybody that ever worked for him loved him right, and we all want him to have.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: You know, he's earned a long and healthy retirement and spent time with his family and all that other stuff.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: The last thing that any of us wants, and I think the last thing that any decent human being wants, is for him to work himself literally to death, to death all right Over this.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: You know this is a case where somebody in a responsible position yet again needs to grab Secretary Austin and go hey, I love you, you've been doing a great job.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a client.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know there's ironic that we have this playing out in two scenarios at once here.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: People in these, you know, let me such high positions who are incapable of fulfilling their duties to their full extent and you know, they clearly are not capable of saying I can't do it anymore, I got to step back.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: So, exactly like you said, who's you know there needs to be established somebody who's has the authority and the ability, or a team of people who have the ability to say, yeah, this is you're going to have.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You have no choice.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You're stepping back, we're pulling in this guy or woman and you know, doing what's best again, theme of the night what's best for the country.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: You know, and I appreciate, I appreciate his, his badassery and you know, in his case, I think it's probably his badassery.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: In Biden's case it's something else, but in this guy's case, you know, I bet, based on what you're saying, I bet he's like I got this, I got this, I can do it all.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I promise you it is, you know it is that it is that I'm going to stick it out.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tough it through.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I can do this.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: You know it's really not a big deal.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: There's only, you know, now 11 months left in the administration.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I can tough it out to the end.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Right yeah, no don't do it bro.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Don't do it, because because again, yeah, it's only 11 months, but in the last 45 days, 60 days, you've been out of pocket three times, three times, and maybe it won't happen again for the next 11 months, but if it, you know it could happen again in the next three weeks.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Right, this is?
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: You know, he, he owes it to himself and his family, but he owes it to the country and the entire Department of Defense takes stock of to take an honest assessment of where he is and truthfully, I think back away.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: But now you've got the confirmation process to put a new secretary in place.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It's been done before.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Most people don't remember, but you know Leon Panetta, you know, left CIA and became the Secretary of Defense in the last year of President Obama's administration.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: So it's been done that.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: It's not a, you know, a bridge that's never been crossed.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: But the timing sucks and the political environment is definitely different because you know and I know, with the amount of, you know, stupid going on in Congress, the Republicans will deny confirmation for as long as possible, just to be disruptive, of course, of course that's a given.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they won't do the right thing either.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: They won't make sure that the Department of Defense has covered that there's a new sect in there.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: They will find whatever reason not to confirm a new nominee and it'll become a political circus like everything else.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: And I understand what Secretary Austin's doing.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I just wish for his own well-being that he does take a step back and be for once in his life and his adult life, be selfish.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hope that for him Absolutely.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man, all right guys, we've been hitting you hard.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: For what is that?
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: One, two, three.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: One, two, three, four.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Top is we've hit you hard with all of them.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Now let's go a little bit lighter.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Let's recap the Super Bowl that I didn't watch.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I watched the overtime.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: You did.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I watched, I was traveling, I was coming home from jumping out of a plane, so on Sunday.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: I missed most of the Super Bowl.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I watched the last nine minutes and I watched the overtime.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Ok, and I got my fill, like everybody else did, of Taylor Swift, which is fine, oh, yeah, right, yeah, I heard excessive during the game.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I heard that as well I heard that as well.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, we said it last week or two weeks ago, right, I don't care.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Roger Goodell doesn't care.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: You know she's bringing money to the NFL, good for them.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, if it's making them money, they don't care.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: No, they don't care, you know, but good for Kansas City and really good for the 49ers too.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: They put on a great game.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Listen, if you can take a Super Bowl to overtime.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did hear that.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: I heard that the game itself was a great game.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I heard some earlier reports.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Somebody saw a few people say that it was boring.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: First half, yeah, the first OK.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: And then they ended up retracting that pretty quick saying OK, ok, now it's interesting, now it's interesting, so it sounds like it was a great game, a well played game.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, of course, the you.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I think you remember, I'm sure, the whole conspiracy theory that that it's rigged.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: And there's still people saying that that the NFL rigs the games, so that blow by actually saw a thing today, just today, that you know, somebody theorized they're like well, did you know that the NFL?
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Nfl is designated as sports entertainment, just like WWE, so that means they can rig.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, maybe it does mean that I don't actually care one way or another, because I don't watch anymore.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: They ruined it for me, colin Kaepernick, all the way back with that knucklehead that ended football for us.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: And you know I certainly don't call for anybody.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't back then call for everybody ban the super or ban football because NFL, because you know how I feel about it.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: No, we just quietly said no, thank you, and move down with our lives and did different things.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: On our Sundays we went for hikes.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: It was very lovely.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: So, yes, as an organizational leadership guy, right, and I'm not, I am I stopped watching football too.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched a whole game and I can't even tell you how long.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: But as an organizational guy, the thing that surprised me was there was about I think it was about 10 players that came out after the game was over with and said that they did not know or understand the overtime rule changes for this postseason.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: So, evidently, the NFL changed the overtime rules oh boy, this postseason, right, and they walked into the Super Bowl not knowing.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: They walked all the way through the playoffs Wow, all the way into the Super Bowl and didn't know or understand the changes to the overtime rules.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Now, wow, again, as an organizational leadership guy and a guy who's coached a lot of sports over the years, I can't understand that, like, yeah, you have two weeks between the end of playoffs and the Super Bowl, two weeks, right.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Like, if you are not dotting every eye and crossing every T, then you, you deserve to lose, and that's you know.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: The 49ers lost and it was about 10 of their players who said they didn't know or understand.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I think there's probably some two players too.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, that is a, that is a organizational failure?
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, like that is a lack of planning.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: There's a whole bunch of gaps in that.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: You know, if you don't know the basic rules of the game all the way to the Super Bowl, you have.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wow, I had not heard that, so that's pretty crazy Mass oversight, yeah, so.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: So, maybe, maybe it's not, maybe a second's piercing, maybe it's not, I don't know yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Listen, you know everything comes out in the wash at some point.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: So we'll, you know, someday we'll.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: We'll know, or not, either way, when they stop politicizing things and and you know being social justice warriors when they get back to just playing the damn sport, just get on the field, play the sport, be done.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Do all your social activism on your own time, not on the field.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: That's my soapbox moment.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Give us back football.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: And I say that because they, you know.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: So I have my little bullet points here.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Black National Anthem they had to do it, had to do it, had to bring it out there.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: One country, one anthem, one song.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Sorry, don't like it.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care if that's my opinion, that's how I feel about it, guys.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: So that that put off a lot of people like what the hell is this?
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: The woman's name is Andra Andra Day, I think.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: She's got a gorgeous song called Rise Up.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing to do with her talent, her abilities, her vocals.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: There were people getting yelled at in the stands on social media for not standing up for the Black National Anthem.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: So, there's that, you know it's the, it's the tolerant, the tolerant intolerance, you know crowd kind of thing, right, right, you know it's again, it's too political.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I applaud your soapbox.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you, just play damn football, I would go out and play football.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Just play damn game.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Just play damn football Right.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And, by the way and by the way I extend that to all, all aspects yeah, you know, if you're going to say no which they did a few years back to the Dallas players who wanted to put the five murdered police officers' names on their their shoes they were denied, they said nope, you can't do that Then you're going to let you know all this other, the bullshits, so the BLM stuff, all of this, colin Kaepernick doing his bullshit.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: You know you're going to say yes to all that, but you're going to say no to that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't work for me.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Say no to all of it or yes to all of it.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Make a decision, make it apply to everyone and everything, and and we're good, we're good.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Then we know where you stand on all things, or better.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Yet I don't want to know where you stand, I just want to see you play the damn game.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Let me wear my jersey, let me make all of our football food for the day, let my friends and family come pop.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I'm done.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I'm done with it.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: It's all good.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: The only other thing I will, I will point out two quick things.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: We got two quick things.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I want to point out that they made a big fuss over.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Is this the picture?
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: No, I have a video or a picture.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Hang on, guys Be.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, here it is, hang on.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I want to show you this.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so that's about the lady next to him.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: So if if you missed it, I'm not going to play it again.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: You guys will see it.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to rewind and watch it again.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: But the chick that was with Taylor Swift I think her name is ice baby or baby ice or baby spice it's ice, something or other.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Classless move, thrown up some devil hand signs and making sure she adjusts her upside down cross, making some type of point Don't know what it is, other than that she's an ass and I thought that was pretty gross.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: But whatever she's, you know she's entitled to do it.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Certainly, I just think she's trash.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: That was all I want to say on that.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Right, it's not much more to say about it.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Trash, that's it.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: And the other thing which I you know this has been meme worthy now all over, and it's the only reason I actually saw it, but looked bad at first ends up being not a big deal here to after the football comes over to Andy, just keep me out.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: I live life, though.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: I live life to the fullest.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: I try, you know, spread the love.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: First of all, he did not know that's how he spoke.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I've never heard him speak before.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I've never heard him speak.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that that was his normal way of speaking.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: From time and listen or watch the podcast with him and his brother.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: With the I'll have to.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I will have to be very entertaining.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: They're, they're, they're, a lot of fun.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: That, I think, was very much blown out of proportion.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I mean it really was.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: It ended up being very blown out of proportion.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: You're very passionate about.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: You know, and I've heard guys, I've heard a lot of people say, oh, if I did that or if my kid did that, or listen, this is the super Bowl.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Okay Right, this is not high school football.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: This is not you playing high school football with Al Bundy.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: You know a Polk high in Chicago, 35 years ago.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: This is this is the super bowl.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: This is today.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: This is Andy Greed's team.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: This is how he runs the team.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: You got a passionate player.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: You got all that kind of stuff.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: If they're not worried about it, then don't worry about it.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: And if well, my kid, that's it.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: You know the example that they're setting.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: But listen, there are a lot bigger problems in the NFL that you should be worried about example setting than Kelsey bumping into his coach on the field.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: When you, when you right, when you get the domestic abusers and and you know criminals out of there, then we can talk, but that was just a, you know, I 100% agree.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Andy Reed, more importantly, andy Reed is the one that was like it's all good, yeah, it's all good, passionate player.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the passion he says.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I think he said I don't know if he could hear in the clip or if I cut it off, but he says, oh he's, you know, he's passionate.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: He bumped me and I was, I wasn't prepared for it, like I was embraced for it, didn't know it was coming, you know, and that was why it looked worse than it was To me.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: It looked like a guy who was really passionate about the sport and that's what you want, you know, passion.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: And sure could he have you know, maybe not, not not the old guy over, but that would be your coach A halftime show.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I heard a general generally favorable comments about it.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: So all in all, I think everybody was pleased enough.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: I mean not going to please everybody, so screw it right.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it's, it's a Super Bowl.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Everybody's going to complain about something.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Whether the commercial stock halftime show sucks, or where the game sucks or whatever, it doesn't matter.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: You never going to please everybody.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: It's still the highest rated TV show in America and again nice false advertising, I think has the highest Nielsen rating of all time.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: This past Super Bowl, with Americans typically turned around and said, oh then it's the highest rated TV show of all time.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: I will tell you that every World Cup final over the last 20 years has had more viewership than any single sporting event in American history by far.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, Because you got global audience.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: You literally the entire world.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, good point.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: The entire globe stops to watch the World Cup final.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Right, that's cool, but but again typical, you know.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Response oh well, you know, highest rated ever Super Bowl, Highest rated American TV show, so it's the great sporting event ever is less than 20% viewership of the last World Cup final.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, yeah.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: That's, yeah, that's quite a, that's a bit of an eye opener, holy cow.
• 58:23
