• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: In the last like 36 hours, there are so many things that have hit the news wire that we've adjusted a little bit.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: But listen, here's just five things, just five things that have hit in the last 36 hours that we can't even cram into the show, right?

  SPEAKER_02: You've got um Henry uh Novak Novak in England, uh Hampshire, that entire the body cam footage from last December of his killing, the arrest, everything that got released.

  SPEAKER_02: Uh and then lastly, you Scott Pelley got fired from 60 minutes yesterday.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: Listen, folks, those every one of those are topics that we would normally cover, and maybe depending on what's going on, we'll drag one into next week.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: But that's just in the last 36 hours, you know, things that are happening that I couldn't even shift fire to uh to drag into the show today because we still have tons of stuff going on.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, this would be like a you know a three, four-hour show um if we tried to cover every single thing that we want to talk about.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_05: And you know, and I know sometimes, you know, on occasion people will say, How come we don't talk about blah blah blah?
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_05: How come we didn't talk about this?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_05: How could you ignore that?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_05: We're not, it's not that we're ignored, like there's only there's only so much we can do in the in the time that we have.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, you know, I appreciate that you guys want us to be on for you know three, four, five hours, but it's not a lot of people.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: We we don't have a staff, like there's no one we're all of the research, all the the top, and listen, folks, I got a couple of things wrong last week on the show by myself.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, I was doing a lot of research and and God love our viewers, right?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: Some folks pointed some stuff out.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, fine.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: I I will own it.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: I I wasn't 100% accurate on things.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not perfect, but we're we're doing this on our own, folks.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like there's there's no support staff, there's no cameras.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_02: Like this is Else and I on our computers with some ring ring lights, and and that's what we're doing.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_05: If if y'all saw my studio, like you, you would, you know, you would make fun of me mercilessly.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_05: It you know, it's it's I am literally like I will tell you the secrets.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_05: I don't care.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_05: I I I'm not a gatekeeper.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_05: Um, I'm literally in uh what it is basically a closet.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_05: It is, is it a it's a large walk-in closet that has been converted to a studio.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: So um, you know, I could I could maybe do some jumping jacks in here if I if I wanted to, but you know, it's like the I I am in a basement office with a like a block glass window that goes up and out, like yeah, and and guess what?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_05: That just described the setup of you know, probably about 80% of podcasters.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_05: Like everybody is doing the same kind of thing, you know.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_05: You're you know, for all I know, Joe Rogan has a stud his studio is in his home, you know.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_05: Maybe it's in his basement.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_05: His is just uh has a put a lot more money into it and a bigger basement, a bigger basement, just you know, a little bit bigger than uh, you know, the um closet.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_05: Oh my goodness.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_05: So there's that.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_05: There are all our disclaimers, explanations, and a little recap of all the things that we're not gonna be talking about.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_02: Covering, yeah.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_05: We are not gonna cover it.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_05: Each one of them obviously is uh, you know, has so many talking points that you you you it'd be a full show on its own.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_05: So that is the point in itself.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but for for now, for today's this week's show, um, here is what we're talking about.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, you know, so obviously the the big one, if you're just kind of perusing social media and you're not really that interested in all of the stuff and things when it comes to this, you probably are the most likely to know about the whole California primaries that are going on because Spencer Pratt, you know, if you're a reality TV show person, if you've been following even just us with that, you know, I've been um delightedly sharing uh his um campaign videos that he's been putting out.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_05: They've been amazing.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so yeah, uh, but that's of course not the only place.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so we're talking, of course, about the midterms uh on the horizon voters in Iowa, which is the one I was trying to get to the point of, but I was being long-winded.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_05: Um, and California, of course, are headed to the polls uh or were headed to the polls on June 2nd for key primaries that shaped everything or are shaping everything from governor races to Senate seats.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_05: Um go ahead and talk about the red-leaning Iowa, um, what's going on over there?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so uh, you know, President Trump, I talked about this last week.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: He was uh 117 for 117, I think the number was in endorsements, right?
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: Endorsed candidates, candidates endorsed by him in primaries were 117 and oh.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like he was he hadn't missed yet.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: And so in Iowa for the governor, uh, which folks, because Iowa is the Iowa caucus, is the jumping off point, right?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: And Iowa's a Iowa politically is a uh very weird place because Des Moines is super blue, the rest of the state is super red.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um like a lot of states, right?
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: You know, Illinois, we talk about Chicago, you know, Pennsylvania is Philly and Pittsburgh.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of states like this, even New York, right?
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: New York City determines the state.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: But Iowa, because it's the first caucus in the you know, it's the stepping off point for the presidential campaign, always gets a lot of attention.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: And so President Trump, very, very late, uh, and I when I say late, I'm talking like last Friday, uh, endorsed endorsed this guy, Feenstra, um, who is currently losing to a guy named Zach Lon, Lan Lon L A H N.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but folks, it's like 1500 votes out of 250,000.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: Like so crazy.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's how close this thing is.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_05: Clay, why I'm sorry to interrupt you.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_05: Um, why why was Trump so late to jump on that?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I I I'm not sure.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: I you know that that is a I think it was uh kind of a coin flip, and I think you know, you could say uh he could have got pressed to make uh an endorsement of some kind.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm not too sure why he waited so long.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think judging and I'm not from Iowa, folks, but I I think looking at these two, I really think it's a bit of a coin flip.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I don't think you're gonna get a bad candidate no matter which one on the GOP side that you get.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, but uh, you know, he came in late and and listen, he it has it's too close to call and it hasn't been declared.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, President Trump may keep his perfect endorsement record, but right now it is super, super close on the GOP side for the governor candidate in Iowa.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_05: Very interesting.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, let's talk about California too, of course.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_05: Then that's still my favorite one to talk about right now.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but but it just I just it blows my mind how much I am just loving Spencer Pratt.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_05: Like it's so crazy that this is the case.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: The surge by him in the late last few weeks.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: Now, you've been highlighting, you've done a great job highlighting his you know use of AI, his commercial, his ground roots.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like he's been walking through the worst neighborhoods in Los Angeles to go shake hands, talk to people, and those kinds of things.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: But right now, so as with every primary in the state of California, no matter it's open primary, no matter the party, the top two vote getters from the primary go on to the actual election.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: And so there was a worry that this uh this woman, oh, what's her name?
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: Ramen, uh Ramen Noodles, that she was going to be a second Democratic candidate, blue candidate for L mayor.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: Uh he has he has surged and is now, I think they have declared that he is, without a doubt, uh going to be one of the top two candidates with Karen Bass.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think um, you know, uh I think that it's another one of those cases, and I would say, venture to say, is the same thing with Trump that a lot of people who are outwardly saying that they're, of course, they're gonna vote for Karen Bass because they're, you know, they're in their Hollywood bubble and their um California bubble and all of those things, and they must show allegiance uh to certain people.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_05: But I I think those are also the ones that are quietly um, you know, speaking with their their vote and saying something different, you know, to the world.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_05: Um this is the only way I can kind of explain because I don't think the turnouts have been spectacular by any means, right?
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: No, I I would have to go back and look.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: I I there was an absurdly low number in the LA's race.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: Now keep in mind, folks, California, notorious for write-in ballots, they're notorious for late ballot delivery.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um it was either the yesterday or the day before yesterday, uh, or maybe within the last week.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um there was like a pile of ballots on fire, like at a mailbox.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, we we assume, and Governor Newsom is still pushing for, you know, uh no voter ID um and all of those things.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: And so and the and the write-in ballots.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: So we don't know exactly when uh they're gonna call these primaries.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: None of them have been called yet.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but the percentage that I saw within the last four hours, Karen Bass 35%, Spencer Pratt 30%, then Ramen Noodles coming in at 22.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_02: So um I it is gonna be Spencer Pratt and and Karen Bass.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, but I think it's gonna be super close.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: I really do.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: But I also I'm um I'm gonna call it the Karen Bass stays, but I think it's gonna be uh hair, you know, hair margin.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I also think there's gonna be tons of speculation of uh voter interference, voter fraud, uh right in ballots, all the same things from you know 2016, 2020, um, that we're we're used to.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I think it won't be a tragedy, but I think it'll be super a lot closer than people realize.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_05: Yes, I I fully agree.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_05: And that, you know, leads me to the question of, you know, kind of going back to the low turnout, uh, voter turnout.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_05: Do you think it's because there is so much distrust uh in the process in the system that people are like, what does it even matter if I vote?
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_05: They're just gonna do what they're gonna do.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_05: They're just gonna, you know, rig it, you know, because you have you have you have that side, you know, that says, you know, everything is rigged.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_05: If it doesn't go a particular way, it's gotta be rigged.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_05: They have not been wrong in very clear cases here.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_05: It's become it becomes more and more clear as time goes on how much that is actually true.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but do you think that it's been deterring people?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_05: And will will we see more of a trend of that across the country where people are like, I'm just I'm not doing it.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_05: What does it matter if I vote?
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it the midterm primaries always suck.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's always low voter turnout because there's no president at stake.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, truthfully, the the number of elections that are happening are significantly lower than the presidential election years.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I think voter turnout for these is historically low no matter what.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, I do think that there's a lot of you know disillusioned people um when it comes to this, uh when it comes to voting now, more than there was, you know, even 12, 16 years ago.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so yes, I think there is definitely some of that.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_02: I I do again, I think Spencer Pratt's doing it right.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: I think he is getting to the people that you need to get to.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: He keeps saying that moms in Los Angeles are gonna get him elected, which I love.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um very, very true.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and it's very indicative of that city, uh, but also modern society, modern culture, right?
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: We historically, and you and I have talked about this on the show, you know, we historically talk about the lack of fathers in homes in man in many urban, inner city, low-income, you know, um African-American, specifically minority neighborhoods.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: And so he's going after the people who are gonna get him elected, which are mothers.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: It is it's a hundred percent right, and good for him for doing it, right?
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um, he's he's going to the people, and good for him.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_02: I think you know, Karen Bass is just assuming that the Democrat machine is gonna win it for her, and that'll be the end of that.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, and we'll we'll see what happens.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: But uh, I I really want him to win.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: I just don't think that that Democrat machine is gonna let it happen.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: I just don't.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I um grudgingly, regretfully uh agree with you, and I I I have never wanted to be more wrong, you know.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_05: I've never wanted to be more wrong.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_05: I'm not sure there's a few times, but I I want to see this happen so much, and at the absolute very least, uh, of the outcome of this, um, he needs to be studied and duplicated.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_05: His model, his um, his plan, his system, his way of doing all of this needs to be studied and duplicated by the right, please, not by the left.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_05: Um, because this is he came out of, I don't want to say he came out of nowhere, uh, but for something like this, he sure did.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_05: You know, this this was this was a joke, you know, to many people initially, much like uh President Trump was first days, early days.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_05: It was a big joke.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_05: Everybody was laughing about it.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, uh Mr.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_05: What was the name of his show?
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_05: I forget the show.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_05: Uh you know, his line, you're fired.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_05: The apprentice, thank you.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_05: You know, the guy from The Apprentice, the the billionaire from The Apprentice is gonna run the country.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_05: Ha ha ha.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_05: So funny.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_05: Hi, here we are.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_05: You know, so um do not discount this guy, guys.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_05: And and I think if you've listened to him speak, have you listened to him really speak?
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_05: He's good, he's really good.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_05: I I think um, I think he has a future in this, uh, regardless if he wants one.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_05: And and I hope that he does want one because um I think he could be very impactful.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think his the only bad appearance I've seen him make, thankfully, was in front of an audience that he doesn't have to worry about.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: He was on last week.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you saw it seemed very much like if you watch that show regularly, I probably catch it maybe two times a week.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but everybody there is prepared.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_02: They know the questions, they've got a lot of them will have notes or they'll have a you know a thing in their ear and some of whatever.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: So he hasn't done a show like that.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: He jumped on a plane, he flew there to do the show.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: He was not prepared like everyone else was.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: He also is not a national level issue guy, he has remained.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: This is Los Angeles, that's all I care about right now.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: I'll worry about the other stuff later.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: Whoever is a governor, I'll make friends with him.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: Whoever, like he doesn't care about President Trump, really, he just wants to fix Los Angeles, and he truthfully was unprepared for the show itself because it is so much national level goings on, and so it wasn't a great showing for him, but again, he was doing it in front of an audience that he really doesn't have to worry about.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, he didn't lose any votes from uh from an appearance.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I I did, you know, I saw some yeah, I saw some clips.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I saw some clips from from that particular one, and you know, oddly enough, I what I did like about it, you know, and I agree with you, it did look like he was really not really prepared to answer the questions and he, you know, but I kind of liked his shrug, like he was like, I don't, I don't know, I don't have an answer for that.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know, don't, don't know.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_05: Like there was no BS, and that is so refreshing.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_05: And I think that is I think that is 100% his appeal right now.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_05: One is his, you know, very clear passion for his goal.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_05: You know, he he wants to fix LA.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_05: He wants to undo the damage that these people have done.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_05: He wants to right the wrongs that have been happened to his family and people like his family.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, those are, of course, uh admirable and uh appealing.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but it's the it's just I'll say it again, he's just so refreshing.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_05: You know, there's no yes, and much in the way um of President Trump.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_05: That was a huge part of the appeal.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_05: He didn't say all of the things that the rest of them say.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_05: He was the anti-politician, and that was what resonated with obviously so many people.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_05: And if um I don't know if if uh Spencer Pratt studied that phenomenon or not, or if this is just him being him.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_05: I tend to think this is, I tend to think this is just him being him, and and I think that's really what shines through.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_05: Um, did I hear, and and I also like, let me say before I ask this question, uh, I like that he doesn't care about President Trump.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_05: I like that he doesn't care about any other uh politicians or parties.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_05: He has made it very clear, I don't really care about that party, and I don't care about that party either.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_05: About Los Angeles, yeah, like this is what I care about.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_05: You want to label me whatever you want, knock yourself out, don't care.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_05: This is what I care about, and I love that about him.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, regarding President Trump, did I hear that he did ultimately endorse him, basically, or no?
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_02: I I I couldn't tell you.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: I heard that.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_02: I it would assume you would assume that's what happened, but I I I don't know that for sure.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_02: I do know that President Trump is weighed in on the governor's race in California.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, Hilton, who is uh former who's a Brit, uh born and raised, uh, you know, he's got an accent.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_02: So did Arnold Schwarzenegger, so it is what it is.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_02: But yes, um, you know, used to work for Fox News, but he got the Trump endorsement.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: He is the leader in the governor's race.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_02: And again, folks, this is just like the mayor's primary top two go forward.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_02: So he's in it 28%.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Sarah, who was a Biden, you know, advisor, is number two at 25.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then you got this billionaire guy, stayer or Steyer at 20%.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, there was a a push for the sheriff to back out of the race and push all of his supporters over to Hilton to make sure that he hit the he was in the top two.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: He kind of refused to do that.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I I appreciate that for the fact that it's you know, people aren't just doing what's best for the party.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, that kind of thing.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_02: He really wanted to run.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_02: He really wanted to be governor of California.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_02: And and now maybe as he, you know, is eliminated from this process, he turns around and he endorses, you know, or gives the thumbs up or tells all his supporters to go over to to uh um Hilton and uh and he can carry the day and and we can turn California red again, which would be pretty awesome.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that would be amazing.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_05: That that would be a wonderful miracle to happen.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_05: Um but at least it feels like we're getting a little bit closer to the potential of that happening.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_05: If it doesn't happen, you know I don't know what's gonna happen, but I mean just more of more of the same really and if uh California is foolish enough to accept that and say that that is okay I mean I what do we say to even that uh at this point, right?
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_05: You know, but uh obviously we will be watching and uh reporting on it as we do reporting on it.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_05: We're not reporters talking about it is what we do.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_05: We're not reporting not reporting we're discussing it.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: All right let's discuss this one which we've been discussing for how long how long now we're uh probably 10 11 weeks I would bet somewhere in that window it was just it wasn't that long ago we talked on the show about hitting the 60 day mark yeah uh you know in the War Powers Act and that was a whole discussion and we're a couple of weeks past that so you know again just in the last 48 hours you've had um you know the Iranian president has submitted his resignation and for those of you that don't know or understand that the government over there they do have a quote unquote democratically elected uh you know president among other elected officials however everything goes to the supreme leader the Ayatollah Khomeini uh for approval so it the president for the most part is irrelevant honestly right uh and and so you know this the the Ayatollah has been underground uh unreachable I talked about this last week they've been using couriers and like all this stuff for for all the negotiation with the United States and I think the president has finally finally figured out that nobody gives a crap who he is or what he does while this is going on and he submitted his letter of resignation um and at the same time negotiations have halted uh the Ayatollah has said nope not doing it anymore I think President Trump said in the last few hours he's like I'm I'm kind of bored with it because the it's not going anywhere uh which I know people will think is flippant or not serious or whatever but yeah it's President Trump and then he says things the way he says them yeah but last night there was some there were some shots exchanged uh the Iranians launched uh some cruise missiles and some one-way drones to attack U.S.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain uh all in the first wave all intercepted um all blown apart in the air before impact the U.S.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: turned around and fired back they hit on a place called Keshem Island uh in the Gulf uh it's a control center for communications and control center so drones it it relays to drones and and all kinds of other stuff we hit that and then in response to that the Iranians launched again this time uh they actually hit Kuwait International Airport um so one civilian killed a number injured uh and for all of us that that went to Iraq and Afghanistan we all passed through there at some point in time so like terminal one I saw the news coverage this morning of this place smoky and on fire and I'm like I went down those escalators like the you know um so that was kind of the last part of it um and then Iran says that they're closing the strait again and you know all these other things so you know I hate to say it we are somewhat back at square one.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah yeah uh you know uh curiously when you mentioned Trump's statement about being bored with it and we've talked many times about uh fatigue of various different things I'm curious if you think that the American people are still you know obviously the especially with the mainstream media uh you know just sparking those those fires and those coals for uh panic and doom and gloom and worry and fear um constantly do you think the American people generally speaking have that sense of anxiety and worry and stress or are they getting fatigued with even this I mean what what are you seeing what are you hearing every time they go to the gas pump yeah and yeah that'll do it it's a con it's a constant reminder here's the thing though is that you know we don't pull oil like we don't use oil from Iran it it's but the industry goes by OPEC pricing standards and it affects so I I think President Trump in a again in a very 4D chess kind of way you know he's trying to get as many of these Middle East and OPEC related nations onto the Abrams Accords and so they all stay stop hating on Israel which we'll talk about in a minute um but I think that's also that's so that's a political right move to try and get them aligned.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_02: And then I think his intent is to get them economically aligned and to do a little squeeze on OPEC.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_02: But I think Americans as a whole this is not as easy to forget as the Ukraine which truth people have forgotten about.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_02: Suburban housewives were screaming and blah blah blah and now nobody talks about it.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_02: But because of the oil impact every time Americans go to the gas pump they're reminded of of what's going on I think they are getting frustrated I think that if President Trump doesn't fix this soon um it's gonna impact midterms and so the fatigue on this one I think is not going away anytime soon because of the impact on gas prices.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_05: Sure sure uh let's talk about more America Merca stuff we've got the 250th celebration coming up uh obviously July 4th 2026 America hits its 250th birthday um big event obviously big events planned nationwide fireworks of course in DC state fairs parades uh it is a wonderful chance for us to celebrate uh resilience and all of the things that um we should be we used to be celebrating all the time these days uh not so much and surprise surprise there's lots of controversy and things going on with the uh you know White House celebration of this and the D DC DC celebration of this with um um you know they they make it sound like so many artists are pulling out of the celebration there's like you know five and I think I can only name three of them Martina McBride um Brett what's his name Brett Brett Michaels Brett Michaels and um a couple other people who I can't even remember who were on board to perform and then backed out because suddenly they remembered who the president was I don't I mean what like give me a break they they you know put out these mambi pamby little statements like I didn't know this was going to be a political thing and you know we can't be part of that and I feel like it's not the right you just made it political this was a celebration of of our country and you just made it political right there.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_05: So um personally I I think two things about that I think one shame on them obviously two good riddance who cares goodbye whatever um my my guy vanilla ice is all in he's all on it we um we went a couple few years back now I think we're going three years back as you well know Clay maybe some of our audience members know um my husband I had the blessing to be able to to attend New Year's Eve weekend uh the whole four-day celebration um of New Year's uh at Mar-a-Lago uh at it it was amazing let me just say it was amazing and the one of the headline uh performers was vanilla ice and got to meet him and everything and um he put on such a great set it was so high energy everybody lost their minds dancing having a blast it was awesome what's that of course I mean seriously right ice you know ice ice baby come on what more is there to say about that um so yeah so I was glad to see that he's like I'm all in you know so that was cool um I I want to know your your thoughts on that whole thing though like do you think this is kind of getting a little out of hand or what do you think?
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: So you know let's just start with the closest target which is the UFC event is on the 14th of June.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_02: That's controversial for people sure don't like that it's being done at the White House on the White House lawn.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_02: I know that a lot of folks across social media I think you included have been finding folks of the other things that uh administrations have had on the White House lawn including transgender appreciation and all kinds of other crazy stuff.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so you know I I look at that and I say you know it is what it is.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know I do think you know I just saw that Dana White uh was like hey we're you know because they're they're putting up the ring already it's yeah building the whole setup right now he's already complaining about gnats um oh yeah you know listen man um they'll figure it out uh I can promise you they will figure it out there you know we used to have boxing matches were outside you know I know Wrigley Field I know you know the Beatles played in Shea Stadium like you right you'll be okay you'll be all right it's so funny though isn't that in itself like kind of hilarious like you y'all are pummeling each other to bloody pulse he just and you're worried about gnats like that's introduced the doubt right at this point like we're still two weeks out a week you know 11 days whatever it is like right just let it go don't it doesn't even need to be mentioned until there's a legitimate problem to worry about so that's coming up first then like you said we've got things in DC um rushmore fireworks I think on the third yeah we've got uh I think across Boston DC Philly New York are like the big as they should be right uh you know that's the genesis the birthplaces of America um and so yes people are dropping out of the musical acts yeah which is fine like big deal yeah um people want to hear the 1812 overture they want to watch fireworks right um and and celebr celebrate the nation the problem is is that because of the association with the president you have people who have claimed to be patriots for decades you know Bruce Springsteen claims to be the biggest patriot in the world yeah he's a real right and the reality is is that he is gonna let his political views stand in the way of being a patriot of celebrating the nation because he doesn't like president Trump which is shameful um yeah if you're a patriot you're country first you are about the country if you don't like the president you still respect the title then the the the role the job you still give give the respect to the office and not the person that's fine there's there's been presidents we all have not liked uh strongly disliked i've never actually hated a president not even biden uh not even obama didn't hate him uh didn't like him didn't trust him didn't believe him all all of the things that I mean hate is such an extreme uh emotion to be wasting your energy on that has nothing to do with the person that you're hating it's all consuming you um you know perfect example of the proof of that is is of course Trump derangement syndrome which is a part of all of this that is you know happening with these people um but yeah I you know again to to echo you clay if you if you're gonna call yourself a patriot then you're gonna you're gonna be celebrating the 250th uh anniversary of our nation period you know regardless of who's in office and who else is gonna be on the stage and all of this it's just silly and I think the only critique that I would give at this point regarding the Trump administration and the handling of this is to say don't ask why would you ask these people why would you give them the opportunity to disrespect um you and the country like don't don't do it don't do that don't set yourself up for that somebody else might say no it's actually good because it puts that spotlight on them and just how petty uh they are and it gives more people um just that lens to look through and say okay well I know not you know who not to um uh buy their concert tickets or do whatever you know so I don't know I I mean I guess you can look at it lots of different ways I just know that I would I I wish that he didn't give them the opportunity uh to do that but it is what it is whatever.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah I I think you know maybe the better tact would have been a year ago to say oh you know open invitation open invitation I love that listen non-political don't care you know I want people who love America right and open invitation and you know and and not even really reach out uh you know just say hey you know we would love to have acts from Americans who love America and you know you would think of people like think of the you know farm aid's been going on for decades right well you know people like Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp and you know like blue collar people like Bruce Springsteen and you know what I mean like those are you would expect them in a non-political environment who claim to love America so much to jump on an opportunity and if we I think that was a I don't know if it would have worked to be honest.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_05: But I think that would have been a better way to handle it is just be like hey nonpolitical open invitation you know if your people if you want to come perform have your people call my people and we'll figure it out you know right right yeah I mean you know like I said they they you know just gave that um window into the fact that they cannot let their politics right be put aside and you know what a shame how how sad because uh in in all of their own rights including uh Bruce Springsteen um they have given a lot musically to the world you know to Americans I mean they're they are the the backdrop to most of our lives that you know one of these songs all of these songs this music was somewhere in our childhood in our teen yeah part of our own personal stories like you remember where you were when you first heard this song or who you danced with you know at the dance to whatever song so it's just so disheartening and disappointing um that this is the way that it is because it taints everything it taints those memories you know and and that I think is sad that people put their politics now before everything else it's it's crazy and I just wish more people uh would realize how genuinely unhinged it is to be doing that.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_02: And it's tiresome like you don't always have to make a statement yeah you don't yeah right like not everything needs to be on Infox yeah it's okay to just just do you know your thing like yeah you know you think of somebody like like Billy Joel who just has written song after song after song that is so I know it's a lot of New York and Philly and New Jersey but it's so America right yeah um you know goodnight Saigon all those things right you know all those songs and and so that would be somebody you would love to have perform American hits that Americans love that they sing along to and those kinds of things but to no avail.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: And so here we are you know we're here we are we're a month out and we nobody knows I'm sure there's some panic in the public relations office at the White House right now trying to figure this stuff out but don't get there.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_05: It'll happen oh it'll happen it'll be great anyone who attends and goes to it will have a you know memorable amazing time that they'll have stories for you know generations for I guess and and that's great.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_05: I'm homebody so I won't be going anywhere but that's okay.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_05: All right we're going we're moving from one drama to the next uh this geez my goodness um delaney hall protests uh let's see protests at New Jersey's Delaney Hall ICE facility over alleged poor conditions and hunger strikes have uh turned tense with curfews and clashes detainees and advocates decry treatment and officials cite security needs amid enforcement um you know so I'm sure everybody has seen uh the videos and and everything with that and it's just you know it's kind of like rinse repeat another day another another location another batch of lunatics losing their minds and acting a fool and uh you know being shocked shocked when they actually when they actually get uh the consequences for acting like lunatics uh namely that guy uh with the glasses I don't have the video I'm sorry guys um but you know telling the ICE agents um with some expletives in it I I know I saw your face you know I'm paraphrasing I saw your face uh I'm gonna kill your family gonna kill your kids you know basically threatening his whole family which um lends to my point several shows back uh talking about them being masked uh we had had that conversation right and the did the debate should they or shouldn't they be allowed to be masked well there is the poster child for why they are masked there it is because of these mental cases who do things like that.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_05: So um we all thank him actually for doing that because he was just the you know like why why he's why yeah that is why this fine representation of trash is exactly why so yeah oh my goodness listen all I can say Clay is I I I think obviously humane treatment is is a matter of course it everybody should be treated humanely that that is that is the given and I don't certainly I don't have a problem with anybody advocating for that that's there there is a role for people uh in that lane that do that and I I think it's great that they do that but obviously there is a huge line that is being consistently crossed between um protesting uh and advocating um for things that you believe in and then you know threatening the lives and families of people who are just doing their fricking jobs so yeah yeah so um just in within the hour before this show um I heard that the mayor of Newark has lifted the curfew there was a curfew surrounding you know essentially Delaney Hall there was also designated essentially designated protest areas that you know you you're standing in this box you can have as much freedom of speech as you want and they went an entire night without anybody getting arrested yeah so he's decided everything's okay now and he decided to lift the curfew and the restrictions uh of the you know quote unquote freedom of speech boxes and so what we'll probably have is more of the same tonight you will have more violent clashes um but what we because people are onto this whole gag you know gag um more things are being captured so there's tons of pictures of equipment being prepositioned uh you know shields and and all of these other things that we all know we knew were happening going back as far as George Floyd and then and then on onward since um so there's there people are capturing that now like what
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: We're getting, you know, more and more photographs of these things, photographic evidence of, you know, the fact that this is not, you know, random peaceful protesting.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_02: This is an organized effort.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: Organized.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_02: But also there was, I don't know if you saw this across social media.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_02: There was a young man who got arrested for physical contact.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he got into a scuffle with the guards.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: And as he was walking away, he's like, listen, I'm just, where do I get my George Soros check?
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm looking for.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_02: Now, nobody knows, or at least it's not apparent whether or not that was sarcasm, satire, him just being a smart ass or what.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_02: But maybe not.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's entirely possible that that guy was like, hey, I'm about to get thrown in the clink and uh, you know, I'm getting paid for this.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, again, we're we're paying more attention.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_02: I think, you know, the the transparency of all that is becoming more and more apparent, and I think more and more people are realizing what a lot of people have known for a while, and that it's it's all it's it's all garbage, it's all paid for.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, people aren't really all that outraged.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_02: And true, in fact, most people don't even know what's going on in that facility.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_02: They just know they're paid to be out there and throw rocks and bottles at the police.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_05: They get their talking points, you know, they get their marching orders.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_05: You know, here's what you're gonna be yelling, here's you know, here's the sign you're holding this this day, this week.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, here are the rocks you'll be throwing and the bricks that you'll be tossing.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_05: And uh, these are the expletives you'll be shouting.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_05: And uh if you get arrested, here's the number that you call, and uh your check is in the mail, and or it'll be Venmo to you, to your account, or PayPal to you.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah, I mean, this is it.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_05: And you know, and the crazy part is is those gullible dupes that show up, you know, thinking that this is organic and that they're doing something, you know, big and important, you know, and it's like this handful of people that are mixed in with these lunatics, you know, paid lunatics, and they're like, Oh, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here, but this isn't what I thought, you know, and it's just uh it's it is wacky and it's so out of control.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_05: And the, you know, the question is always like can we please just get the people that are behind it?
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_05: Can we can we get them please charge them?
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_05: I don't what do you charge them with?
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_05: Uh inciting, I'm sure there's a whole laundry list of charges, right?
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_05: Conspiracy, conspiracy, right?
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_05: Um, terrorism, terrorism, terrorism's gotta be for sure.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_05: There's a lot of options, you know.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_02: US district attorney will find all of the right things.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and that, you know, that's the other thing.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_02: It will be federal crimes because whoever it is that's doing it is been crossing state lines with this stuff for years now.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_02: And so you know, you're in that federal jurisdiction area, so it'll be you know, um big issue kind of stuff.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_02: So um we'll see how that rolls.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, you know, it and and it'll move to another location in the next you know, three or four months.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be somewhere else.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_02: It won't stay at Delaney Hall forever.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_02: You know, those guys a couple months ago was Chicago, you know, it's wherever ICE is running operations, and right now it's uh, you know, they got Delaney Hall to focus their anger on, and it'll move somewhere else here in the near future.
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_02: So hold down the fort, folks.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_02: You know, for those of you that are standing in line out there, just please be safe.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, one of these nights you're gonna walk out there linked in arms, and there's not gonna be any protesters to worry about.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_02: They'll be yeah, moved on to something else.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_05: Next uh, next big cause, next big important thing that you know means more than anything else in the world, next flag, yeah, next uh you know, bumper sticker, whatever.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, they're so exhausting.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, let's see, let's move on.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_05: Speaking of moving on, let's move on to this one here.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: We'll make this one quick.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_02: Go right ahead.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_02: If you haven't seen Israel, Israel has you know gotten extremely tired of Hezbollah, who continues to you know launch rockets from Lebanon into Israel, and they did it one too many times, and the Israelis Netanyahu decided we've had enough, and they have rolled troops into Lebanon.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_02: So they crossed the border, they're into Lebanon.
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they have been turning this into conventional warfare.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_02: And this is basically telling Lebanon, hey, you're responsible for Hezbollah, get them under control because we're tired of this.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_02: And so they've been rolling in, um, happened two days ago, you know, they have reclaimed land that they had owned for a number of years that they gave back to Lebanon in 2000 and retreated, you know, back across the the border into Israel.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_02: Um, in fact, there's a crusade era uh castle that they have taken control of again and they're operating out of.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but you know, Lebanon, of course, is condemned you know the actions by Israel, but have done nothing to curtail, to you know, put Hezbollah in a box and tell him to knock it off or any of the rest of that stuff.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_02: So um this is gonna continue.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I know there's been reports, unsubstantiated reports that President Trump told Netanyahu that he was an idiot and an ass and nobody liked him, and he'd be in jail if it wasn't for him and you know, all kinds of other things.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_02: Umsubstantiated.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's completely glorified.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure there's probably been a conversation, but I would bet a dime on a dollar that it didn't sound like that.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, I find that hard, hard to imagine.
• 49:31
  SPEAKER_05: Um, but safe bet that this will be a continuing conversation.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not ending anytime soon.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know what makes me think that.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_05: I it's just a hunch, I guess.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, all right.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_05: So I I love that we're staying like in this, I love how everything is segueing so nicely.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, let's talk about the uh transgender uh military ban being uh deemed potentially unconstitutional.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_05: What?
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, federal appeals court has determined that the ban enacted by Secretary Heggsith and the Pentagon uh on ban on transgender service is unconstitutional.
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_02: Now, this will go to the Supreme Court.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_02: There's no question about it, it will go to the Supreme Court.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and so you know, we you and I talked about this a couple of times over the years, we've talked about this.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I go back to the same things over and over again, right?
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_02: The reason why, from a rational standpoint, I'm not even talking about Secretary Hags, I'm just talking about from a rational standpoint of why transgender people are not a good fit for the military.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_02: One is there's a definite discussion of pre-op versus post-op.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_02: If you are pre-op, there are psychological counseling therapy requirements that anyone, I don't care if they're in the military or not, are required to and should go through prior to this massive life-changing operation.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, as soon as you enter into this process, you immediately become non-deployable in the military.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_02: And then if you go into the process, which the military has also said we're not doing transgender surgery anymore, but if you're in the military and you're and you're pre-op, you're gonna go through this process and it's gonna make you non-deployable.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: If you're a post-op, there is medical treatment that you are gonna have to continue to undergo as you recover from this surgery, which again, in a lot of cases, up until a certain point in time, makes you non-deployable.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_02: And people say that, you know, oh, exceptions are made all the time.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_02: Listen to me.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_02: If you are overdue on your dental exam, if you have a cavity that hasn't been addressed, you will you are deemed non-deployable because the military does not want you deploying and then having to worry about a bad tooth, right?
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_02: They want you to be able to focus on your job, they want you to be in the fight where you're supposed to be, right?
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_02: So even the simplest things will keep you as non-deployable.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_02: The purpose for our forces are to be deployable, to be able to go fight and win America's wars.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of important, right?
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: You can't do that if you are in a medical process, truthfully, an optional, personally optional medical process.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not a necessary medical process, right?
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_02: This is something you're opting into, right?
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_02: There are no that I could think of, and I I racked my brain.
• 52:35
  SPEAKER_02: I can't think of any optional surgeries that the military pays for, right?
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: And and guys, people in the military are notorious for putting off surgeries that are not immediate, right?
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_02: They will come off for years.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_02: Uh but optional surgery, except for the the um eye surgery, like lace or whatever, but that still has a very short recovery time.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um this is you're talking years potentially with transgender, anyway.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um the military has to draw a line and people don't want to hear it.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll give you an example.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_02: In the throes of the GWAT, right, as units were facing these nine, 12, 15-month deployments.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_02: In every unit, you have uh female soldiers who are pregnant.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_02: You also have a lot of spouses who are pregnant leading up to the deployment in every stage of pregnancy, from I just found out to I'm getting ready to pop and everywhere in between.
• 53:37
  SPEAKER_02: The deployment date doesn't change.
• 53:40
  SPEAKER_02: And you can't just look at everybody and say, Well, if your spouse is pregnant, you can stay home until the baby shows up.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like that doesn't work.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_02: No, so you have to draw a line and say, at the third, you know, if she's due after 30 days, or if she's due after 45 days, you're going on the deployment, and either we'll get you home as soon as we can, or you're gonna miss the birth.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_02: That's all there is to it, right?
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and and you draw the line, and at some point there's gonna be that spouse whose due date is the 46th day.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_02: That guy's gotta go, right?
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_02: And so nobody's ever happy with where the you're never gonna get 100% buy into where the line's drawn.
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_02: And this is one of those lines, yeah.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_02: Like the military can't continue to have these people that are knowingly non-deployable in the ranks, right?
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's the rational discussion of readiness and deployability.
• 54:33
  SPEAKER_02: The other question is for all of these people who are complaining, all these transgender individuals who are complaining about this, are you there to serve the nation or are you there to serve an agenda?
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that is the question that all of these people have to ask.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_02: And I and I think that is where, you know, it's a very gray area, but uh the Supreme Court is gonna rule on the viability and the you know, fiscal part of it and readiness and all of these things related to serving in the military for transgender people.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know how SCOTUS is gonna rule on this.
• 55:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure that you know, things being the way they are, I would tell you it's gonna be a five five-four vote one way or the other.
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um, right.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_02: But uh, but this is gonna go to Supreme Court.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_02: So this is not a done deal as much as people want to believe one way or the other that it is.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_02: There are people who believe because this appeals court said no, uh, that that means everything's cool and transgender people can serve.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_02: But this is far from over.
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_05: So language wise, talk to me language-wise, is the the ban, the specific ban in question, is it literally called the a trans the transgender ban, or is it blanketed or umbrellaed under a bigger ban?
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's a medical condition banned, uh ban.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_02: Uh it has to do with deployability.
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and so I think, and I, and I haven't read it in significant detail, but I can tell you that it is wrapped around readiness, just like I talked about.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_02: And really what they've determined is is that if you are a transgender person in the process, you are a readiness problem for the military.
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_05: Yep.
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_02: And oh, by the way, you're a medical problem for the military that we are not going to take responsibility for.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_02: And that's where the ban comes from.
• 56:42
  SPEAKER_02: It is a medical ban.
• 56:44
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's so incomprehensible to me that this is in question.
• 56:50
  SPEAKER_05: It just is.
• 56:51
  SPEAKER_05: And that is no disrespect or unkindness towards uh transgender people.
• 56:56
  SPEAKER_05: Uh this is everything that you just stated.
• 57:00
  SPEAKER_05: This is a medical, psychological, physical readiness issue.
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_05: Uh it's it's so simple that it's frightening how simple it is and how complicated it's made to sound like.
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_05: Um, so yeah, so yet again, we will keep an eye on it.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_05: And as they update it and as we find out more, we will share what we find out and we'll express our opinions about it as well.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_05: All right, let me tell.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_05: Let's talk about one of your favorite things.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so um, listen, folks, if you're a soccer fan or not, it is irrelevant because the World Cup is here this summer.
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_02: Um and so it's a long process.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_02: The June 11th to July 19th, this is going on, and it's going on in various states in the United States, and we're co-hosting with Canada and Mexico.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_02: So the vast majority of the tournament, which is a lot of games, is happening in the United States across 11 cities.
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, New York, New Jersey, right?
• 58:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um, LA, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Kansas City, Philly, San Fran, Seattle, and Boston.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 58:09
  SPEAKER_02: And so what you're gonna have is this massive global influx of fans from around the world.
• 58:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you're gonna have uh lots of travel problems at airports.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_02: You're gonna have crowds, you're gonna have hotel issues, public transportation issues, you're gonna have all kinds of traffic, everything in and around these cities.
• 58:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm a soccer guy.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm happily gonna watch this at home.
• 58:34
  SPEAKER_02: I may actually go to Kansas City to be able to go visit a lifelong friend who's a uh um what do you call it?
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_02: An international student um that I played soccer with in high school.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, fun.
• 58:45
  SPEAKER_02: Who is who works for FIFA, the international and so he'll be in Kansas City, regardless.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um, this is coming, folks, and whether you like it or not, it is going to consume major portions of major metro areas for the next six weeks or so.
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'm doing a social media, like a whole thing called soccer all summer.
• 59:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna be such a soccer guy that I'm gonna be talking about this stuff every day.
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_03: You soccer nerd.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_02: I am uh multiple times a week for the next you know six to eight weeks or so until this is over with.
• 59:19
  SPEAKER_02: So very fun.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna be able to ignore this.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_02: If you live anywhere near any of those metro areas, you are not gonna be able to ignore this.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_05: My all I want to know, Clay, is this gonna affect my go ahead.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_02: My biggest concern is security.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_05: Well, yeah, definitely.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_05: It was the first thing I thought of when you were saying how much of the the travel, the influx, all of those things.
• 59:41
  SPEAKER_05: This sounds like an absolute nightmare, to be perfectly honest with you.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_05: Sounds like an absolute nightmare.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, which leads me to my most important question.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_05: Will this impact my Florida travel?
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: It it listen, plan for, and I don't know what airports you move in and out of, but I will tell you, plan for extra time.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you, folks, for the next weeks, plan for extra time in and out of airports because especially in those cities, but if you're close, like people will fly into Connecticut and move, right?
• 1:00:11
  SPEAKER_02: People will fly into um, you know, I guess where are we playing in in Florida, Miami, right?
• 1:00:16
  SPEAKER_02: They may fly in Orlando or Lauderdale, someplace like that, and move.
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_02: I know that a lot of international folks are complaining because the US public transportation system is not what they're used to in Europe.
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and but you're gonna see a lot of that.
• 1:00:32
  SPEAKER_02: Rental cars are gonna be an issue, right?
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_02: If at airports, like yeah, think of all of the things with massive international influx that are coming.
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_02: By the way, the Olympics are coming in two years, and so you're gonna see a lot of this when that happens too.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_05: This actually may impact.
• 1:00:48
  SPEAKER_05: What'd you say?
• 1:00:48
  SPEAKER_05: What are the dates uh through July 11th?
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_05: Is that right?
• 1:00:52
  SPEAKER_02: 19th, July 19th.
• 1:00:54
  SPEAKER_05: This could potentially impact one of my travels.
• 1:00:58
  SPEAKER_05: We're actually flying into, we're going to a wedding, a group of us were going to a wedding.
• 1:01:02
  SPEAKER_05: I'm giving you guys like such TMI right now, but I'm just thinking aloud and just go with me for a moment as I think aloud here and and ask Clay's advice here.
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_05: Travel advice.
• 1:01:14
  SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah, we're going to a wedding in uh outside of Miami um in that first or early July.
• 1:01:22
  SPEAKER_05: So yeah, I guess, I guess that is an issue.
• 1:01:25
  SPEAKER_05: All right.
• 1:01:26
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, by the way, lay this on top of America's 250th.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_05: Oh, right.
• 1:01:31
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 1:01:32
  SPEAKER_02: And there are games over that 4th of July weekend in a lot of these cities.
• 1:01:36
  SPEAKER_02: So listen, folks, just keep be safe, keep your head on a swivel.
• 1:01:39
  SPEAKER_02: If you're not involved with this stuff, stay away from it.
• 1:01:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:01:43
  SPEAKER_02: It just don't add to the chaos, but it is going to be somewhat chaotic.
• 1:01:47
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_05: No, there's uh, you know, all jokes and ha ha's aside.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_05: It's actually pretty serious.
• 1:01:52
  SPEAKER_05: You know, it's it's certainly exciting for um, you know, lots of lots of fun reasons, but it there it also is a cause for heightened awareness for sure.
• 1:02:03
  SPEAKER_05: Um, here's something I'm highly aware of.
• 1:02:07
  SPEAKER_05: So are many of us as we're watching, totally it's such a bad segue, but I don't even care.
• 1:02:12
  SPEAKER_05: Um, let's talk about let's talk about Jill Biden on our little book tour.
• 1:02:18
  SPEAKER_05: These these ladies with their book tours, first uh Kamala Harris giving me more material with her book tour.
• 1:02:25
  SPEAKER_05: Now we have uh Dr.
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_05: Jill dropping bombs and shrugging her shoulders just just like she did back then.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_05: What am I talking about?
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_05: Well, let's just watch it.
• 1:02:39
  SPEAKER_04: Horrified as you saw it unfold?
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_04: I wasn't horrified, I was frightened because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since.
• 1:02:54
  SPEAKER_04: Never since.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_04: Or since happened, I don't know what happened.
• 1:03:02
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, when I as I watched it, I thought, oh my god, he's having a stroke.
• 1:03:08
  SPEAKER_05: Um, I'm sorry, what now?
• 1:03:10
  SPEAKER_05: I'm sorry, Dr.
• 1:03:11
  SPEAKER_05: Jill.
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_05: Dr.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_05: Jill, what now?
• 1:03:14
  SPEAKER_05: Yes, we know that she's not a medical doctor.
• 1:03:16
  SPEAKER_05: Um Wow, so she's talking about, if you don't know, uh Jill Biden was talking about uh the disastrous uh debate between President Trump and uh Joe Biden.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_05: It was a true legit disaster to which she went out, curiously enough, after now we find out thinking that he was potentially having a stroke, which makes this clip all the more interesting, right, guys?
• 1:03:49
  SPEAKER_05: Here we go.
• 1:03:49
  SPEAKER_04: Such a great job, you answered every click.
• 1:04:07
  SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah.
• 1:04:08
  SPEAKER_05: So that's awkward.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_05: That's uncomfortable.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_05: So Dr.
• 1:04:13
  SPEAKER_05: Jill thought her husband, her beloved precious husband, was potentially having a stroke.
• 1:04:20
  SPEAKER_05: And what did she do immediately after?
• 1:04:22
  SPEAKER_05: She did that.
• 1:04:23
  SPEAKER_05: And then what did she do after that?
• 1:04:25
  SPEAKER_05: Went on every uh, you know, television station and and talked about um, you know, how great he did and how much we we need Joe to run and how she thinks he's you know totally ready for this.
• 1:04:39
  SPEAKER_02: And went to Waffle House that night.
• 1:04:42
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_05: How about that?
• 1:04:44
  SPEAKER_05: How about that?
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_05: So again, I'm so sorry to be a broken record, but you cannot emphasize this enough.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_05: I thought he was having a stroke to Waffle House, not the ER, not their, you know, private doctor to get him checked out, which I think now she's like kind of backpedaling, right?
• 1:05:05
  SPEAKER_05: A lot of backpedaling.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, you know, we had him checked, he was checked out, and there is a lot, there is a lot of speculation because they did go back and forth.
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, you know, I don't like Jesse Waters.
• 1:05:17
  SPEAKER_02: I I just he's he's a Ken doll with a TV show.
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um but he he did, you know, outline the we had him checked, we didn't have him checked, we didn't need to have him checked, but now we did have him checked, and everything was okay, right?
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_02: And he was cognitively fine, you know.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_02: And she says, I never saw him before, saw him like that before, never saw him like that since.
• 1:05:41
  SPEAKER_02: Uh but but you know, there is the speculation about the doctor.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_02: Did they have him checked or not?
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and she did drag him to the rally and then to Waffle House, and you know, she's it's so disingenuous, it's not even funny.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like it is just gross.
• 1:05:56
  SPEAKER_05: Um, I hope that her book sales uh Are uh embarrassing to say the least.
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_05: I I hope that I don't know.
• 1:06:05
  SPEAKER_05: I haven't even looked to see what they are.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_05: Um, you couldn't pay me to read her book.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_05: Uh I I think she I genuinely think that she is probably one of the most horrible people uh uh in existence today.
• 1:06:18
  SPEAKER_05: She is right up there with some of the worst, and I know I'm gonna get flack for for comparing her to you know murderers and things like that, but she is a truly terrible person.
• 1:06:29
  SPEAKER_05: Um god awful wife, you know, not to say that he's a great husband.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's elder abuse.
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know who else can't read her book?
• 1:06:37
  SPEAKER_02: Her husband.
• 1:06:39
  SPEAKER_05: Seriously, he cannot.
• 1:06:40
  SPEAKER_05: He can he's literally incapable.
• 1:06:43
  SPEAKER_05: And of course, you know, you have all of uh all of uh well, I we're gonna call him conspiracy theorists, you know, who say that that Joe's been Joe's been unalived, as they like to say, uh, for a very, very long time.
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_05: And this is you know, so definitely some compelling um proof of that, uh that you know, with the head shape and the ear shape and the all of the things, the height, all that stuff.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_02: But you know a lot of plastic surgery.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_05: He's had a lot of plastic surgery, and that will do a lot of things, regardless.
• 1:07:14
  SPEAKER_05: Real Joe, fake Joe, alive Joe, not alive Joe.
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_05: Joe Biden is a terrible person.
• 1:07:22
  SPEAKER_02: She's she's still saying that she thinks he could have won if he stayed in the race.
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that that night was an anomaly, and that she feels felt and feels like she was abandoned by you know friends that they had had for 30 years in the party, Nate Pelosi being one of them, um that abandon abandoned them, you know, and forced him out of the race.
• 1:07:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so she's playing the pity card.
• 1:07:46

• 1:11:50
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, so it goes on like that for a little bit longer.
• 1:11:53
  SPEAKER_05: And um, this was aboard a frontier, recent frontier uh flight, and uh this guy tried to open the exit door and you know get everybody sucked out, and uh these manly men jumped in and um subdued this guy and and got him under control.
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_05: So, what I what I was loving so much about this video, and by the way, apologies for the uh the swearing in there that I didn't bring up the swearing.
• 1:12:22
  SPEAKER_05: Sorry guys.
• 1:12:23
  SPEAKER_05: Uh, but uh what I was loving was uh jujitsu guys super casual.
• 1:12:28
  SPEAKER_05: He's just chewing his gum, he's just chomping on his gum.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_02: That guy is a former professional UFC fighter, he's a black belt of some degree in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and you know, he like you said, he's just calm as all get out, so calm absolutely doing like digit and joint manipulation to keep that guy calm, yeah.
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and and you know, that guy has been punched, fought, uh all those things a million times.
• 1:12:58
  SPEAKER_02: Like that guy sitting in the seat was of no concern to him.
• 1:13:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was so calm, and the funny the the part the fact that he's got a jujitsu t-shirt on.
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_05: I love that the camera person zoomed in on the shirt, like funnier.
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_02: And listen, folks, I you know, I fly southwest all the time, and now with you know, pick your seat versus the old way, but even in the old way, I would pay extra to get on the plane early because I sit in that seat every time I get on a plane.
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I a little bit is like control freak, a little bit is, you know, I I've been in and around airplane doors, open airplane doors a few times in my life.
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_02: And so if that's gotta happen, I'm cool with it, like I'm comfortable with that.
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but that right there is the reason why I sit there, is because I, you know, I I have to be that guy between the door and somebody like that idiot.
• 1:13:55
  SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, if you're a man and you've got any ability to to to defend yourself, any physicality whatsoever, if you have the opportunity to be in that seat, be that guy.
• 1:14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's okay.
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, you should be that, you should want to be that guy.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh absolutely I admire that dude.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's good for him.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's so much so awesome.
• 1:14:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I I I want that guy, and maybe he has by this point, maybe he's been interviewed and stuff, and and people have right.
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, had to have been a dozen times, but um, man, I'd like to buy him a beer because um he was just so awesome.
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_05: And kudos to the guys around him, too.
• 1:14:32
  SPEAKER_05: Like, yeah, I I just I love every part about that.
• 1:14:35
  SPEAKER_05: And anybody who ever says in my presence the words toxic masculinity, I tell you to shut up and I may even throat punch you.
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_05: Because that right there, masculinity is one of the greatest things ever.
• 1:14:52
  SPEAKER_05: And that was exactly why.
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_05: Because if I knew that guy was on my plane, I would just be so if I didn't have my husband on the plane, I would be so relieved to see men like that on the plane and know that they're on there.
• 1:15:05
  SPEAKER_05: So maybe the next flight I'm gonna go and they're like, could anybody uh jujitsu guys on here?
• 1:15:10
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, good, good.
• 1:15:11
  SPEAKER_05: All right, we're good.

• 1:15:13
  SPEAKER_05: Anything goes down, feel free to come and and guard me and protect me.
• 1:15:17
  SPEAKER_05: I'm all good with that.
• 1:15:20
