How Do You Really Pronounce "Chanticleer"? | Trump Fueds with Tucker | Amazon Automates

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coast of Carolina seems to be well on their way.
They're up six to nothing already in just the third
inning right now against Louisville, And if the Chanta Clears
win this game, they're in those finals.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, the last time they made it, they won the
whole thing. Trying to do that again this year.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
It looks like like they're trying to maintain their one
thousand win percentage at the College World Series. There are
two trips. They still get to lose a game. That's
got to be crazy, Like, I mean, they would have
won what five games, five and oh the first time
they win this game, may'd be three and oh two
wins away from winning the national title again, I mean

(00:37):
minimum ten games. If they go five and oh and
win the national title again, you'd have to think to yourself,
like they have to be like the best College World
Series team of all time?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Perfect win percent is that way?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Just do not live sorry, do not lose anyway, all right,
So we got our eyes on that. We'll let you
know if anything further expands on that big news today,
Donald Trump, I cannot believe this was something that hadn't
happened before. But last night I was kind of surprised
when Noland Trump put on his truth social It is

(01:07):
my great honor to announce that I will be putting
up two beautiful flagpoles on both sides of the White
House North and South lawns.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It is a gift from me of.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Something which was always missing from this magnificent place. The
digging and placement of the poles will begin at seven
thirty am Eastern tomorrow morning, which was already today. Flags
will be raised approximately eleven am Eastern, and that's already happened.
These are the most magnificent poles made. They are tall, tapered,
rustproof rope inside the pole, and of the highest quality.

(01:39):
Hopefully they will proudly stand at both sides of the
White House for many years to come. So that lends
itself to the information that now we now have. Did
you know, Matt, that there was not a flag pole
on either the North and South lawns at the White House.
I just kind of assumed that there had there was,
but apparently there was not.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
The gotcha did he say it was a gift from
him or for him?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
From him? Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, gift from me of something which was always missing.
So he's apparently footed the bill for this. By the way,
if you want to talk about it, took a little
bit longer to get those, a couple hours late on
the raising of the flags. But they're big, big, beautiful,
my friends, A durable flags make flags like this. And
you know what I think, I think we should build

(02:27):
a flagpole right out front of this building, just a
giant flagpole. You think the city'd be okay with that.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I asking the wrong guy. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I mean, the sidewalk is right next to our front door,
so we couldn't do it there. Maybe, like instead of
putting a parking spot in front of our place, maybe
we could just like annex the area in front of
our place and just put a giant flagpole.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I think there's a little tree there.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Maybe we could take the tree out and put a
giant flagpole there and then you can just like raise
the flag. But then if you're across the street, you
can't see the KFA B at the top of our building.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Annexing. How trumpy of you.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh, come on, they've been in this, yeah, James K.
Polk annex Texas, all right, we've been annexing stuff for
a long time. By the way, great word annex anx
annexation of Puerto Rico. You know that movie Little Giants
comes up with the play Annexation of Puerto Rico.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's from It's something they did on the movie.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's a football play.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Got called it the Annexation of Puerto Rico, which is
really fun.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh that's a play. Okay, I'm looking at it.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. Anyway, awesome movie by
the way, Little Giants. Go watch it if you just
want an hour and a half of just you know,
smiling and laughing and enjoying stuff. Excellent movie.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
All right.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So with that being said, that was the big news
I guess today at the White House. But Donald Trump
has mentioned, you know, that he's made an ultimatum to
the Iranian government telling them to surrender. They went on
Iranian television and said we are not surrendering in a
national speech. So that seemed like a no. But then

(04:03):
a few minutes later there was a report out that
Trump said that Iran has called him to negotiate. So
much like I sat here yesterday confounded by some of
the ups and the downs of this reporting and how
many different sources seem to have their hands on this story,
from the Israeli media to the Iranian media, to the
media in the United States that just can't seem to
get their story straight, and they're going through different channels

(04:24):
to try to get information, and everybody wants to be
so quick. And this is the other thing. Would you
rather be first or would you rather be right? Because
it feels like we have a bunch of people in
the media and I'm talking national Washington, DC level media
who are saying I'd rather be first. It just feels
like there's stuff coming out every which way on this stuff,
and we can't really verify if any of it is

(04:44):
actually true.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ted Cruz spoke to the press today as well, and
he said the United States, regardless of what happens, there
is zero possibility of the United States having any sort
of ground troops operation in Iran. So anybody who thinks
this is going to become some sort of war if
we get involved in it and all of a sudden
we think that we're going to do what we did
in Afghanistan or in Iraq where we were sending people

(05:09):
and they were having ground operations there. Ted Cruz, for
whatever is worth, says in terms of US involvement in
military action. There is zero possibility of American boots on
the ground in Iran. Now if again, here's what I
think the idea would be. And Trump has mentioned that
he believes Iran is defenseless and really needs to come

(05:29):
to the table and get to a deal because there
is no way out for them at this point. If
there was an attack that the United States decided they
were going to be a part of, which Donald Trump
this morning said, you don't know if I'm going to
do it, I may or may not do it.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
You don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
So I'm sure we're not quite to the point of
it obviously happening. But if it did happen, I think
it would just be in an operation for a few days.
It'd be extremely targeted. They'd look for the Iranian Supreme Leader.
I'm sure he would become a major target if they
are going to continue to not work with him, With
Trump and and Yahoo and then I think the bigger

(06:07):
part of this isn't just the regime change, but it's
also trying to blow up the areas that have already
been enriched, the uranium enrichment plants, sites where the development
of a nuclear weapon would be if they have the
intel of where that is, they are going to want
to destroy the pieces that are being used to make
this thing, because they I mean and rightly, so you

(06:29):
can't trust whoever takes over there, right like, so okay,
so who assumes power they're still going to have however
far they've enriched the uranium and however close they are
to actually being able to have a nuclear weapon, So
you're going to want to do that too. And I
think the United States would probably be a big player
in trying to eradicate Iran of the nuclear weapon materials itself.

(06:50):
That would be what I would expect. That could be
just over a few days, it could be over a week.
That doesn't sound like something that's going to be a
super duper long term thing. Now, this is my hope.
I don't know if that's the strategy or what exactly
will happen. But the more I read and the more
of the intel that it sounds like they have, they
know where all this stuff is. They would not need

(07:12):
to kind of sweep through the area to make sure
they didn't get anything or they missed something. I think
they have an idea of where everything is and they're
giving Iran one last chance to negotiate before they do
it all themselves. That's what we're going to wait for.
If that is also the case, then it's a matter
of what the reaction will be from around the rest
of the world. We know Iran has a relationship with

(07:33):
Russia and with China. If those two countries were to
at all say, okay, well they take this by proxy
as like an attack on me, then all of a sudden,
that's when you could start seeing a scaling up of
what this conflict is. But I think many people have
kind of and this concludes myself, have rushed to judgment
as to what this would mean for a potential world war.

(07:55):
And I don't think that we're actually that close to
what would be considered a world war. It would be
if a Russia or a China decided that they wanted
to back up Iran for some reason. That would be
what would trigger then the events that would preit which
would create the I pulled a porky pig there.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Can you believe this?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You're trying to say, precipitate, That's what I say, Yes,
thank you, thank you. I talked for a living I'm
on the radio for thirty hours a week and I
just pulled a porky pig in front of everyone.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Can you believe this?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
It won't be the last time that that happened to
somebody anyway.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
So that's if that precipitates, that's what will create the
world war scenario. Now, if you've got a different opinion,
let's open the phones. Four oh two, five five eight
eleven ten. Four oh two, five five, eight eleven ten
is the number. If you'd like to be a part
of the show, please call me and we can talk
about it right here on news Radio eleven ten.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Kfab and Marie Sunger.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
This is exactly why one of the first shows I
did flick within a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Do you remember this?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I remember it vivid Matt, where a listener I was
talking about I was never People were asking me questions
and like who I support politically and stuff, and I
said I will not cowtow down to any single politician
or political movement. Do you remember this? And then I
mean people got heated with me. I was very new
on the show, and they basically just said, well, you

(09:22):
got to draw a line in the sand at some point,
And I said, but why why. I mean, first of all,
I don't want anybody to you know, I'm not in
a position to tell people what they should think about things.
A perfect political candidate for me doesn't mean that's going
to be the perfect political candidate for you. But this
is the exact reason why I do not pledge allegiance
to a singular political candidate ever, a singular political movement, ever,

(09:46):
a singular political party ever, because I don't want to
have to think about my own personal values and principles
and how they align all of a sudden with somebody
that I've already pledged my allegiance to. Now we talk
about sports a lot on this show because I love sports,
Matt Case. As a sports fan, you know, we can
be openly critical of You're a Knicks fan. Perfect example,

(10:07):
Tom Thibodau, he lost his job despite taking the Knicks
to their first Eastern Conference finals in a quarter century.
It seems unthinkable, but you sat there and you yourself
were like, man, this guy is not managing this roster properly.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Right, Well, that's a I will refrain myself. I could
talk you want to talk about topics that you could
have a long form podcast for and still have things
to say. That's one for me, but I'm just that's
just every Knicks fan. I think we have a lot
to say because there's a lot to think about with
this team always it's fascinating. But yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
The moral of the story is you could have that
opinion and it'd be pretty objective from a standpoint of
well we lost. Yeah, But at the same time you
get to have your own opinion and it's really not
that big of a deal.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
The team's going to do what the team does well, and.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think in that case, then easy place to fall
back on is it seems like the management got pretty
clear indication from the players for many of the important
players after the season that they themselves were not happy
with the way their minutes were managed, were not happy
with the way play calling was handled in important moments.
And so when stuff like that happens, this is professional sports.

(11:17):
These guys are the ones who were paid all the money,
and if they're not happy and this team, for better
or or worse, they're stuck together unless you want to
do a big trade, and do you after you just
got to the Eastern Conference Finals and we're really just
a game or two away from getting to the finals.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know, you kind of want to.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
They made a bet there that they wanted to stick
with the players and not the coach because it seemed
like there was some friction there. But yeah, I mean,
you do have to find some things that are objective.
When you make big analysis like that, there's always going
to be kickback. Could you make the comparison to the
Huskers firing nine win coaches? Right, like the Knicks, they
make it back to the Eastern Conference finals for the

(11:55):
first time in multiple decades, and then they fire the
coach that got them back to that pinnacle. It's an
interesting move for sure, But at the same time, was
there a ceiling there with that coach right that another
coach could come in and crack through with the same
with the same ross corp of guys that you haven't
think Now, see, this is a great conversation, right, you

(12:15):
may not like basketball, you don't care about the Knicks
or whatever, but everything Matt case just said he was
objectively looking at the bigger picture.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
You can't just blindly say I cheer for the Knicks
and whatever the Knicks do, I'm a fan of.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, that's not how that works.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
And the reason You can get away with that in
sports is because it doesn't actually matter to our lives, right, Like, yeah,
it's gonna make us a bit the price if our
team loses, and oh yeah, like it'll just live written
free in my head and I might, I might ruin
a day or two if you're really a big fan
of a team. But that's not like gonna change how
much money you're making in your job, right It's not
going to change the availability of funds for your healthcare

(12:50):
benefits or something like that. Stuff that politics actually can
can change. Another political thing is foreign wars and foreign policy.
And this is there's one thing that I talked about
a lot yesterday when I read JD. Vancy had a
big long post on acts. Is one of the things
that you have to come to terms with is the
fact that there are going to be things even your
favorite politicians are going to do that you do not

(13:13):
agree with. You have to be willing to say that
out loud, because if all you're doing is just following
in line behind a politician or a political movement or
a political party, then we've lost free thought. We've lost
three free thought completely. And that's the one thing that
you're seeing here with the dissension amongst Republicans with what

(13:33):
Donald Trump is in kind of insinuating here. And I
think the last couple of days have been good for
Republicans to kind of take a deep breath, relax a
little bit, and try to understand what's going on. But
Tucker Carlson, staying very loud, did an interview with Ted Cruz.
You can find it on Tucker's x account. And I mean,
I could play the whole thing here of just him

(13:53):
trying to trap Ted Cruise into different things. I mean,
Tucker Carlson all of a sudden has become kind of
like a big in me of kind of the Trumpian circle,
if you will, and whether or not you want to
agree with Tucker or agree with Trump. If I asked
most of you a year ago, you would have said, well,
these are people that are basically the same to me, Like,

(14:16):
I love both of these guys. I want to root
everyone on, throw Elon Musk into there. It's like, well, yeah,
they're all on the same team. This is a great group.
The magnificent what was it like, the magnificent seven of
people at the Trump and then the six people that
helped him get elected the most, which included like RFK,
Tucker Carlos and Elon Musk, Tulsa Gabbard, whether they were

(14:36):
jumping party lines or they were just coming to support
in a way that actually seemed to move the needle
for independence a bit. I mean, half of those people
are on the outs with this guy now. So at
what point we're not even six months into his president
we're not even five months into his presidency. At what
point are you willing to admit to yourself that no
one is perfect to you? And that includes if you're

(14:58):
still one hundred percent behind what trum is trying to
do here, that's awesome. That means though that you're no
longer seeing eyed eye with what Tucker Carlson is doing,
or maybe even with Steve Bannon is doing, or maybe
what Elon Musk is doing. And you just have to
understand that once you kind of pledge allegiance to that
movement or to that particular person, you've kind of handcuffed

(15:18):
yourself to anything that they do.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
You don't have to do that.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
We can talk about things as objectively as possible and
try to uncover them while still feeling like we can
agree or disagree with any one given point or issue,
that is healthy. That is what America is all about.
And we have been free to be able to make
those decisions for ourselves through politicians and with our voice
to vote since seventeen eighty nine or so. So yeah,

(15:44):
it's been quite an interesting thing. And as we approach
Independence Day, we shouldn't forget that. Two twenty eight, we
got more of where that came from, coming up on
news Radio eleven to ten kfab and Ray's longer. I
mentioned this because if they win, If the Chantaclaiers win,
their coach, by the way, he went nuts in a
postgame like a couple of days ago when they won

(16:04):
their second game, he started and he was he's kind
of angry for some reason. He said, well, first of all,
he said that his starting pitcher that game should have
been an All American for whatever it's worth. But he
also said, everybody say it with me, Shanta clears, Shanta clears,
not Shanta clears, Shanta claires, Like okay, man.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Chill, jeez.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Now did you have we asked Google this? I felt
like we did. We've asked Google like what they think,
like how to how to say this? Because then they
have the robot voice that will will say this right,
So can we just double check on that.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I'm doing it right now. I don't remember doing that.
I don't know if it's someone else.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
So if you just type in Shaanta clear pronunciation, there
should be a thing that pops up right and it'll
say you can like, here we go. You can hit
the button and it'll play it for you.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
No, oh, that's the coach is not gonna like this.
All right, let's hear it. Chanta clear, Oh, Chanta clear.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Let's see we need and sure enough, here he is.
He's talking on TV right now as we're as we're talking.
So when you're around this guy, because he's he seems
like he's an angry, mean guy, Like, do you just
say sean Ta clears to make him happy or do
you just kind of like have a your Google app

(17:24):
or your Rosetta Stone app around just to like, coach,
this is what they say that this is supposed to
be the pronunciation.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
I'm listening. I'm gonna pull up a video here. This
is how to pronounce it in French. Let me get
it to the right spot. Maybe that's where he's going.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Because it's a French word. Right, like it's a it's
got a French background. I mean, it's an English word now,
but it's a French word, you know, like right, I mean,
I'm so confused. First of all, I love I love
the uniqueness of it, but you can't have a mascot
like this and expect everybody to know exactly how to
say it all the time. And honestly, if the football
team or the Binspot basketball team was better on a

(18:01):
year to your basis, than maybe we could have done
something else with this.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I think he's doing the French version here at harlll
play it for you. No, Chanta Claire, that's you, Chanta
Claire de Claire. You gotta get that.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
That they are in fringe is very That was the
worst part, Chanta Claire.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
The Oxford Dictionary is definitely phonetically. It's saying Sean Chonta
Claire Sean.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Oxford, but not Marion Webster. Okay, I'm Mary Webster's it's
definitely chant to clear, Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Marion Webster and Oxford are not in agreeance.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Okay, So I need Kevin Schnall to you know, take
a step backwards and say, hey, you know what, maybe
It's okay if you just kind of interpret the name
of our mascot however you think makes the most sense
for you. Stop worrying about it, Kevin, and win a
college World Series here. I think a lot of people
would be on your side. But don't be chasing people

(18:56):
away because we're saying chant to clear, right only. Henry
Davids to Threau actually brought up the word Shanta clear once.
Really yeah, yeah, deep ball, deep ball. I de not
going to get out first out of the inning, bottom
of the fourth for the chan de Claire, Henry David
Throw said to bragg ats lustily as Shanta Clear in

(19:16):
the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake
my neighbors up, I'm good to row. Go out in
the forest. Just sit under a tree, read Walden you
know on Walden Pond. Just just sit there and read it.
Feel intrinsic. We've talked about this before. Matt pop quiz

(19:37):
if there was one major team in major American sports
that I think Omaha should try to find a way
to relocate to hear which team?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Did I suggest? The Tampa Bay Rays.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Tampa Bay Rays Prince Belo owner Stu Sternberg is now
in advanced talks to sell the franchise to a group
led by Florida based residential developer Patrick's the Loops, who's
a home builder in Jacksonville, and he is the lead
buyer in a deal that values the team at one
point seven billion dollars. So Sue Sternberg bought the team

(20:12):
in two thousand and four for two hundred million, for
whatever it's worth, and he's about to sell it for
one point seven billion. Feels like that was a pretty
decent investment. I don't know what inflation has done to that,
but still you would think they're going to have to
build a new stadium. We have no idea what we
do for the permanent stadium. Are they still trying to

(20:32):
fix up Tropicana Field? I thought that was kind of
the plan. That's seventy five million dollars it's going into that,
So you'd think they'd have at least to play a
couple of years there to make that worth it. But yeah,
that's what it sounds like. That's what it sounds like.
So the dream is dying before our eyes. Matt and
the Tampa Bay Rays will just stay the Tampa Bay Rays,
I guess.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
I guess if they got to and the twelve fans
who go to their games are celebrating as we.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Speak, Yeah, all twelve of them. One of them died though,
oh I think there's only eleven of them now, for
whatever it's worth.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well rip, yeah, yeah, that's tough.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Rip to us for I mean, now all of a sudden,
so you remember what was the spring of twenty twenty
four that there was that Elkhorn kind of or Gretna
arena proposal like to house USA Volleyball, like be the
headquarters of the United States national volleyball team, while also
trying to get an NHL franchise here, which is pretty

(21:30):
interesting considering the fact that we don't even have a
minor league like Triple A or affiliated ECHL, so no AHL,
no ECHL hockey here. We do have a USHL team
in the Omaha Lancers. But I don't want to be
a bad guy here, but has anybody seen like the
success that they've been having the last couple of years?
I heard that wasn't gone so well. Did you see

(21:50):
the record last year? This past season they just finished
And this is not the result in the wounds the
people who support them, because I think it's important to
support our teams here. It is, but this is the
only non collegiate hockey team that we have beyond like
high school level, and some of these guys are high
school aged. But the standings of the USHL at the

(22:12):
end of Oh, come on, now here we go. The
twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five season, the Omaha
Lancers played sixty two games, and they went They won
seven of them, seven of them seven seven wins, forty
eight losses, six overtime losses in a shootout loss.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Sounds like to me the beginning of the movie The
Mighty Ducks.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
They had twenty one points.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
You know, points work two points for a win, one
point for an overtime loss or a shootout loss, no
points for a loss in regulation. They had twenty one
points over the season. The second worst team in the
league was the Chicago steel for instance, they had forty six,
so they were twice as bad as the second worst
team in the USHL. Now, again, this isn't me trying

(22:57):
to be like, oh, no, woe is this is not
something that we should get as a National Hockey League team.
I think we could, we should, I'm just not sure
if Gary Bettman and the other owners of the NHL
are looking at Omaha as like this burgeoning hockey community.
We have to funnel them directly to you and O
and say, hey, look we have a collegiate program here.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
That's awesome. Look how great they are.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I know they're collegiate, but I'm not so sure they'd
be super thrilled if all of a sudden an NHL
project was kind of coming up here. Because no disrespect
to get into the Lancers, because I know there are
a lot of people that love them and like to
watch their games, and that's fine, that's great. But the
real show in Omaha as far as hockey is concerned,
is happening at Baxter Arena on the weekends with the

(23:38):
Omaha Maverick men's hockey team.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
I would think though, in a conversation like this, success
is less important than turnout, because really, to audition Omaha
as a great place for a major league team in
any sport, it would be, hey, we'll go to the games,
you know, because whether the team's good or not, I mean,
it's irrelevant, Like they're going to be good, sometimes they're

(24:03):
gonna be bad.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Sometimes.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I do feel like this is a city that has
proven time and time again when things happen in this city,
we show up and we show out.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Speaking of which, right, we got all sorts of stuff
that you can show up and show out too, including
the College World Series, which every year feels like more
and more people are going just to be around the
action and the party. You can make that a thing
with the suburban hockey arena and get an NHL team
to be there kind of between Omaha and Lincoln, which
I mean that's a big enough you know, you have
three hundred thousand people in Lincoln, you have five hundred

(24:34):
thousand people in Omaha, and then all of the suburban people.
You know, it's within a driving distance. Can you get
people to care enough about a hockey team that's in
Gretina or Elkhorn to go there and not like something
that's located downtown. That might be a little bit of
the trick there. Two forty seven, Thanks for listening. We
got more where that came from on news Radio eleven
to ten kfab and raised on there. Sustainable gastronomy is

(24:55):
the art of food. Our gastronomy is sometimes called the
art of food, and it can also refer to a
style of cooking from any particular region. In other words,
gastronomy often refers to local food and cuisine, and sustainability
is the idea that something is done in a way
that is not wasteful of natural resources and can be
continued into the future without being detrimental to our environment

(25:17):
or our health. So happy through our farmers out there,
Happy sustainable gastronomy Day. If you're a if you're growing,
people grow in their backyard and even grow pretty easy
like watermelons. Yeah, that's something you can grow in your backyard.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Grow all kinds of things in your backyard.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, So Happy sustainable Gastronomy Day. It sounds grosser than
it actually is.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I was. I was curious to see what that was.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
When you said the name, you know, gastronomy, I was
just like, yeah, that we really want that to be sustainable, like,
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I was thinking it was like gut flora and fauna.
You know, if you talk about that whatever that is
gut floral and fun.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Isn't that thing flora and fauna in your gut? I
don't know, with your gut, I don't I don't think
they call it that let me google. I don't I
don't know if they would call it that, but yeah,
for whatever it's worth. So with that being the case,
we got ourselves a good Wednesday here. I got a
couple of different accounts up. You're nodding in approval.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'm feeling vindicated by the Google. There is such a
thing as gut flora and fauna. It refers to the
trillions of micro organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even
some protozoa that live in the digestive track, particularly the intestines.
All that stuff just in your intestines. Man, what a

(26:39):
complex organism the human body is, is that right? Yeah,
gut flora and fauna. You got a garden down there,
you gotta water it.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
That's gross, man, I know, I feel weird about it,
but it's true. Hey, remember to hydrate. Gross.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's the grossest thing that I can think of. But yeah,
that's that's where we're at. If there was ever a
moment of you know, trying to you know, of clarity
and trying to understand what's going on in the body,
Matt just told us, and water, water are your flora
and fun on Lady and gentlemen. So all that being said,

(27:14):
very very important for us to keep in mind what's
going on with the Iran situation. I have some new
audio from Donald Trump that I'm going to play at
the top of the hour, just kind of sifting through
it during the commercial breaks and putting it together, and
we will play it then. Just keep in mind we're
going in with a complete open mind on this stuff.
You know, we've been, and I say we, I've been
very opinionated on what exactly is happening here, what I'm

(27:36):
hoping for, what I'm not hoping for, what is or
isn't happening. And I'm gonna do the best that I
can to give that to you in as concise a
matter a manner as possible. And we will do that
the best that we can for the next couple of
hours or however long people are interested in being a
part of this, I haven't.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's been interesting.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I haven't had a ton of people calling in about this,
and I think the reason is because people are waiting
now to see what they should think. I want to
see this play out a little bit. We can play
armchair quarterback. We can you know, you can throw darts,
at a wall of one hundred different situations that could
pop out from this, and it's all just speculation. We're

(28:14):
breaking it down doing the best that I can to
do my job while speculating in a way that is
productive and realistic, while not trying to like instill a
ton of fear in the people. I think now we're
kind of to the stage almost a week into this conflict,
if you want to call it that of Okay, so
what actually will happen? And I'm going to reserve my
opinions until that happens. We'll let the politicians like Marjorie

(28:36):
Taylor Green, who is now all of a sudden opposed
to Donald Trump's perspective on this. At least it sounds
like more on the pro Tucker Carlson side of this thing.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's kind of interesting.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
So I think a lot of people like us are
going to sit and watch and see what happens, and
then we can make an opinion about exactly what's going on.
But I will tell you and play for you what
Donald Trump has been saying in the last thirty minutes
or so. That'll coming up next on news Radio eleven
ten kfab shan to Clears.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
But but we don't go around and say in croissants
that's true.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
We say what do we say? Cis croissant? Croissant?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, croissant not an easy word to say, you know
what else liaison liaison because in French liaison.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Liaison I will say it is objectively. The French pronunciation
is usually the more fun way to say it, Shanta Cliaz.
Anytime you can kind of drift into the whole when
you're talking, I want I see why they do it,
Sean de Claiz. You get on in your culture long

(29:45):
enough and you just kind of go the fun route
to wait to the way you say things.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Shanta clears, Chanta clears. Whatever they're leading, the teal is leading.
You were saying, Coastals going postal. It's ate nothing now,
man ain't nothing. And we still got few innings left.
If if the Shans when the when the game here
against Louisville, they are in the final, starting on Saturday,
a couple days off into the final, that'll be fun.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Huh. How about the Champ de clear is playing If
they go on to play LSU, of course that would
be you know, they got the creole LSU and then
the Champ de clear. I might might be a curiosity
to many people from France.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
It's trying to make a correlation there. I'm going for
the razorbacks, you know me. There's nothing French about that.
Although although the last S in Arkansas is silent?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Right, why though, do we know? Why have we ever known?

Speaker 5 (30:41):
Why?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Why is I got this Trump audio?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
But this is much more important. Why is the Arkansas?
Why is the last S silent in Arkansas?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
We're gonna, We're gonna fire. Find this out.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
It's the long French ah sound. According to the Arkansas
Historical Society, it says Arkansas was sometimes spelled Arkansas with
a W at the end. The inclusion of the S
at the end of Arkansas was likely a product of pluralization.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
That oh, well, there you go.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's French. That's that's what we know. It was in
the Louisiana purchase for whatever it for whatever that's worth.
So the French had it before.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Louisville.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Kentucky was named in honor of King Louis, the French
King sixteenth of France.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
How about this.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
We have way more French in our culture than we'll
ever admit ever.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
But anyway, you slice it. If you're a Frenchman out
there listening on the iHeartRadio app, which many are, of course,
many are, especially in peis if you're a Frenchman in
Peis listening on the iHeart radio app, that you're covered anyway,
any anything.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
All four of them, all four of them have a
French connection somehow French connection. That's a movie. You're right,
it is.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Can we just can we can we pivot everything you
say from now on? Can it be like an origin
in a movie and just like go from one movie
to the next.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, I'd have to think of some movies though.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
It's like Ultimate Frisbee. You can't ever take any steps.
You gotta just work it, work it down the field
with the Frisbee only you know, and I just have
to stick to that movie for an entire segment. Or
I have to just keep moving from movie to movie.
That's tough anyway.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Speaking of tough, Donald Trump, he was talking to people
in the Oval office about an hour ago. We got
this audio, right, Yeah, first one, I got. I got
multiple clips here. I'm gonna run through these, and there's
there's quite a bit here. The first of these clips
is Donald Trump as he's taking questions on Iran wanting

(32:52):
potentially to meet with Donald Trump and what that would
look like, and trying to understand what they'd be looking
to meet for.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Look, they should have made the deal. I had a
great deal for them. They should have made that deal.
Sixty days we talked about it, and in the end
they decided not to do it. And now they wish
they did it, and they want to meet. But it's
a little late to meet. But they want to meet,
and they want to come to the White House. So
even come to the White House. So we'll see. I
may do that. But it's a shame that wasn't could

(33:26):
have been done the easy.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Way, all right, So we have that. Could you imagine
Iran right now? Could you imagine the response that they
would get if they did come to the White House.
I'm not one hundred percent sure that that's going to
be the case, not one hundred percent sure that I
could believe that. But if they do want to meet
and Donald Trump says, okay, we'll meet, and they come
and meet at the White House, I mean, could I

(33:50):
hate being hyperbolic. I'm always pretty opposed to just saying
this is the most consequential thing or the most important thing,
or the best thing or the worst thing, because rarely
ever is. But this, I think pretty clearly would be
the most consequential meeting Donald Trump could possibly have in Washington,
DC at all. Right, Zelensky coming was important. This is

(34:13):
way more important, I think, because we are directly involved here.
The next slip I have for you, uh, Donald Trump
on just general United States involvement, because many people are
quite scared, I don't know, concerned about what this could
lead to in the Middle East.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
What's your message to Americans both here and abroad, who
are not only concerned about the US potentially getting involved
in another conflict in the Middle East, but worry about
the potential for retaliation here at home.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
Yeah. Well, I don't want to get involved either.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
But I've been saying for twenty years, maybe longer, that
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I've been saying it
for a long time, and I think they were a
few weeks away from having one and they had to
sign a document. I think they wish they signed it now.
It was a fair deal, and now it's a harder
thing to sign. You know, a lot of water over
the dam, but you know, it's very I say it

(35:06):
verse hopefully Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Too much devastation, and they'd use it.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
You know.

Speaker 7 (35:13):
I believe they'd use it. Others won't use it, but
I believe they'd use it. So that's it. It's very
simple as far as I'm concerned. They can't have a nuclear.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Well, it seems obvious enough. If that's how you feel.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
The first thing that you have to keep in mind
is the fact that if they have a nuclear weapon,
would they use it? Donald Trump says, yes, okay, we
got to make sure they don't have one. Next, Emmanuel
Macrone is the president of France, mentioned and Donald Trump
put this on true Social McCrone said that Donald Trump
had left the G seven meeting earlier this week to
get back to Washington, d C. To work out a

(35:46):
ceasefire with Iran and Israel. Now I don't know if
he was just answering a question and that was the
word or the term that came to mind, because why
would Emmanuel Macron know exactly what we were doing specifically?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Maybe he's like just kind of speculating on that, but
Donald Trump was not happy with him, and he kind
of goes on to explain exactly why.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
He said, I was going.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Back home to make a ceasefire. That a ceasefire, we'll
long be on ceasefire. And I said, why do you
say that? Why would you say it's a bad term
to you, because the ceasefire means like everything's going swimmingly,
we'll take a little time off. It's not We're not
looking for a ceasefire. We're looking for a total, complete victory. Again,

(36:30):
you know what the victory is no nuclear weapon. So
I thought it was a very badly worded statement by him,
and obviously I let him.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Know that, all right.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
So sometimes you just got to let a guy know, hey,
stop talking about me, keep my name out your mouth
something like that. Wasn't that Will Smith, That was sire
the Will Smith, except he said keep my wife's name
out your.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Mouth.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Ah and and and then you got to be like, dude,
it was a Gi Jane joke.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, I still feel awkward. You want to talk about
what's the term? Like, uh secondhand cringe.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Oh, there was a lot of cringe in that moment. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
A lot of people are like wow, and even Chris Roy,
that's the best moment in the history of television.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
He said that.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
He said that after he got slapped. Yeah, but are
we I mean, we're talking about it, but it really
wasn't that great. It's just like kind of tanked Will
Smith's career.

Speaker 8 (37:27):
A little bit.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
Then.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I think we all still feel weird about it. It
was just kind of like, why why did he have
such a crazy reaction to that? And it's just ridiculous
a comedian. He made a joke, not a big deal.
You're at the Oscars, Maybe don't have a few drinks
before the performance?

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Are pal all right? U? Lastly here? Not lastly?

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Second, lastly, penultimately Donald Trump uh was asked a very
specific question about the nuclear facility, which many people know exists,
that have a lot of these things, the four down
nuclear facility.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
The destruction of the dismantling of the four nuclear enrichments,
and there's not a prerequisite for a deal.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Is that a red line for you? No, it's just
something that people talk about having. We're the only ones
that have the capability to do it. But that doesn't
mean I'm going to do it at all. Yeah, we
have the best military equipment in the world. You see
that with this fight we have planes that are undetectable
flying around like you.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
Know, nobody's able to see him. Stealth. You guys want
to be stealthy tonight.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
You know you're gonna be stealthy, never lose, right, But
these are incredible planes and weapons.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
We have the best weapons in the world.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
By far, nobody close and we're we're I mean, certain
countries take advantage of the issue.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
Has an incredible weaponry. So we'll see what happens.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
I have not I've been asked about it by everybody,
but I haven't made a decision.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
So he's not actually that close to making a determination
that yes, I'm going to go in there with those
double bombs, if you will, those bunker busters and go
in there and blow those things up. And he's talking
to you know, he said, you guys want to be
stealthy out there. I think Juventus is in town for
some reason because I can see on their pants the
Juventus logo. That's an Italian soccer club and they're doing

(39:13):
some games kind of like pre they're doing a bunch
of different soccer tournaments last year, this year and then
heading into the World Cup next year. They're in town
for the FIFA Club World Cup. I believe I'm not
exactly sure what the what the whole story is there,
but that's who he was addressing there.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I got one more clip that I'm going to play afterwards.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
It dresses more of the Tucker Carlson conversation because Tucker,
yesterday we played audio from his conversation with Steve Bannon,
how he was like, we got to we can't be
doing this, we can't be going into Iran. And then
yesterday I didn't play it, but it came out yesterday
an interview with Ted Cruz where it felt like Ted
Cruise is getting set up into traps by Tucker Carlson

(39:51):
the whole time you go back and watch it, Tucker
is just like giving it to him. So it's very strange,
kind of awkward, honestly to watch in that way. But
I'll play a bit of audio from this White House
session in regards to Tucker Carlson when they come back.
So stick with us on news radio eleven to ten
KFA B and were younger college baseball, man, you only
have so many arms, You only have so many guys

(40:12):
who have the ability to go to pitch, right, like,
start running out of arms here, and they had a
day off, so you would think that maybe, you know,
they'd be in okay shape, but they're in desperate need
to getting one third out here so they can get
the offense back up there. But Louisville not going down.
This is one thing we've learned about them, you know,
not going down without a fight. He'd be updated on that.

(40:36):
We talked earlier this week. Tucker Carlson was on Steve
Benn's show on Monday. Yeah, and then yesterday I played
a bunch of different clips off the show. It's just
like Tucker Carlson is not on the same page with
Donald Trump on this. It's kind of interesting to see
how like at each other. I think the two sides

(40:56):
of this are not necessarily in regards to, you know,
specifically mentioning Donald Trump and he just Tucker Carlson said,
I just I think this is really bad and this
could be truly the end of his presidency because this
would be kind of like George Bush going into Iraq
right twenty plus years ago, and then Donald Trump, you know,

(41:19):
kind of threw out, like have Tucker Carlson go onto
a news network so people will actually hear what he
has to say, whoa, whoa. I thought Tucker was doing
pretty good on Twitter, for whatever it's worth. And then
after that he goes on to social media and say,
tell somebody, tell kooky Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot have
a nuclear weapon. So there you go, and then defending

(41:41):
like what he thinks America First means, and he gets
to decide what America first means.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Well, then today and a new episode of Tucker Carlson
Show was released. It's an interview between Tucker and Ted Cruz.
And Ted Cruz, you know, it was an amazing lawyer
before he got into politics, and you know, he was
a solid presidential candidate. You know, gosh that ten years
ago now that he was really campaigning for that. But
he's really kind of been a good advocate for Donald

(42:07):
Trump's message and getting it out there. And that's the
thing about Ted Cruz is, you know, he usually is
pretty prepared on some of this stuff, and Tucker was
setting traps for him. I mean, I watched some of
the clips. I didn't get a chance to watch the
whole show, but it's almost uncomfortable the way that they
go back and forth on a few of the different things. Well,
Donald Trump was in the Oval Office answering questions from
the media today and here he was being asked about

(42:30):
some of this.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Pretty interesting. I see the Tucker girls had and Senator
Ted Creus interview.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
It seems like this issue on whether or not the
United States should strike is kind of dividing a lot
of your supporters.

Speaker 7 (42:41):
No, my supporter is it for me. My supporters are
America first. They make America great again. My supporters don't
want to see you around. Have a new grow upon.
Tucker's a nice guy.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
He called and apologized the other day because he thought
he said things that were a little bit too strong,
and I appreciate it. And Ted Cruiz is a nice guy.
I mean, he's been with me for a long time.
I'd say once the race was over, he's been with
me ever since.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
Right, But very simple.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
If they think that it's okay for Iran to have
a nuclear weapon, then they should oppose me.

Speaker 7 (43:16):
But nobody thinks it's okay.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
So I just have a couple of questions on the
timeline of this, he said. Tucker Carlson apologized to him
the other day because some of the stuff that he
said came off strong.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Did he though.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean, maybe did he though, because it doesn't sound
like something that he would have said, because first of all,
I didn't think anything Tucker said was really that outlandish.
It wasn't really like super personal about Donald Trump. He
was just saying that, you know, he felt that if
we became very active in the Middle East, and you know,
was we were helping Israel strike Iran and got ourselves

(43:52):
directly involved in this conflict, then that would be a
black mark on his legacy. And I don't think Tucker
Carlson is the only one who's a conservative Republican who
feels that way. Now you can think that you can
say that, and maybe he thought and he said, Okay, well,
Donald Trump's not gonna like this. And then Donald Trump
goes on his social media says and he calls Tucker

(44:14):
Carlson KOOKI. And then Tucker Carlson sets up this interview
with Ted Cruz and they do this interview. And I
don't know if I'll play any of that audio. I
might find some few clips, but I mean it's I
don't know how productive it is other than just showing that, hey,
Ted Cruz doesn't seem to know as much about Iran
as he probably needs to if he's going to be
supporting us attacking them. I would find it pretty hard

(44:38):
to believe that Tucker Carlson would immediately tail between his legs,
call the President up and say, oh, sorry about that, Donald,
I really didn't mean to get under your skin there.
I really just don't think that's Tucker Carlson's style. But
we'll see. Usually he will refute things that are not true.
And if he does say that he did apologize to him,
then all right, cool, and that's great. I hope everybody can,

(45:00):
you know, understand that they're in disagreement about some of
this stuff, or that maybe it's okay to see things
maybe a little bit differently. Beyond that, that's the only
thing that the Republicans, I think have to worry about
is having too much dissension to a point where if
Donald Trump does this and then a bunch of Republicans
say this was a terrible idea, and then things don't

(45:22):
go super well in this operation, which I'm sure they will.
They wouldn't do it unless they felt like they were
confident that something good will happen out of it. If
that happens, but if it doesn't go so well, then
that could really hurt going into a midterm election next
year with a bunch of Republicans that said, I told
you this was a bad idea. Three twenty seven the
time we got more where that came from, by the way,
coast to Carolina does eventually get out of this inning.

(45:44):
They have an eight to three lead going to the
bottom of the sixth inning, looking to try to get
to the finals for the second time in as many
trips in their school's history to the College World Series.
We'll keep you updated on how the game's going on
News Radio eleven ten Kfab and Marie. The Santa Clears
have on first and two outs now, still feeling good
though it's eight three. Coach Carolina has to feel pretty

(46:04):
good about where they're sitting, and it's a matter just
finishing this game off right. They have nine outs to
get offensively or defensively and maybe get another run or
two across the board, just to you know, make themselves
feel a little bit better. But Louisville is a team
that does not die. You have to admire that. We'll
let you know how that's going, as promised. I did

(46:25):
find a clip that I think was a pretty good
indicator of exactly what the Ted Cruz Tucker Carlson interview is.
A full interview dropped earlier today. The little teaser that
I'm about to play for you dropped last night. So
this was recorded yesterday last night. And again I have
to remind you Donald Trump today said Tucker Carlson has

(46:46):
since in the last couple of days called him to
apologize for whatever the situation.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
May be in that regard. So here is.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
And I didn't know if I want to play this
because a lot of it is just Tucker Carlson setting
traps for Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz falling from what I've seen,
Ted Cruse kind of falling into them. And yeah, just
not a super cohesive show if you're looking for, you know,
kind of more mainstream media interview style. This is really

(47:18):
pretty fascinating. Here's Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson. How many
people living around?

Speaker 8 (47:23):
By the way, I don't know the population at all. No,
I don't know the population. You don't know the population
of the country. You seek to topple how many people
living around?

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Nine each?

Speaker 7 (47:34):
Two million?

Speaker 8 (47:34):
Okay? Yeah, how could you not know that? I don't
sit around memorizing population tables.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the
overthrow of the government.

Speaker 8 (47:45):
Why is it relevant whether it's well because ninety million
or eighty million or one hundred million.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Why is this if you don't know anything about the country.

Speaker 8 (47:51):
You didn't say I don't know anything about Okay, what's
the ethnic make super wrong? They are Persians and well
person at Leashia. Okay, this is you don't know anything
about Iran. So okay, I'm not the Tucker Carlson Iran.
You're a who's calling the one aout the country. No,
you don't know anything about the country. You're the one

(48:12):
who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
Who can't figure out to say? General you said, believe
they're trying to murder Trump? Yes, because you're not calling
for military strikes against them in retaliation and if you
really believe that carrying out military strikes today?

Speaker 8 (48:28):
Who said Israel was right with our help? I said
we Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Well, this you're breaking news here because the US government
last night denied the National Security Council Spokesmanlex Player denied
on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's
behalf in any offensive capacity.

Speaker 8 (48:44):
We're not bombing, then Israel's bombing them. You just said
we were. We are supporting as.

Speaker 5 (48:50):
You're a senator if you're saying the United States government
is now, we're with the run.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Right now, people are listening, all right, So there you go.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Uh now say you could be like, hey, this is
kind of some childish stuff, but this is interesting. You
have a very generally well spoken senator from Texas who's
been at it for a long time, and, as Donald
Trump mentioned in that last clip that we played last
half hour, has been kind of by his side since

(49:17):
their knockdown, drag out battle for the nomination back in
twenty sixteen. Tucker Carlson, many people, I think believe that,
you know, he is a very pro Trump type person,
but here we are not five months into his presidency,
and there seems to be a pretty big disconnect there.
And of course you can go back to the text

(49:38):
messages a couple of years ago that were kind of
uncovered that Tucker Carlson isn't a big fan of Donald Trump.
But either way, this is kind of fascinating when you
have this kind of discourse within the conservative movement and
the Republican Party because as much that is as at

(49:58):
stake right now for or the American people, or if
you want to say, the American military, who would be
doing these operations probably from bases around the Middle East,
there's a significant danger to that and it is important,

(50:18):
I think for the people who are making these decisions,
whether that's Congress, whether it's our executive branch, you would
like to know that they know everything about the situation.
And I even though I'm not always a huge fan
of Tucker Carlson's antics, I wasn't a huge fan of
the way that he went to Russia and the way
that he talked to Vladimir Putin and kind of how

(50:38):
he kind of glorified a bit that their government really
isn't all that bad at all.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
It just didn't feel didn't feel like it was done
in a way that made a lot of sense, And
we debated that a couple of years ago, so I'm
not going to rehash that, but stuff like that, I'm
not always a fan of the style of the way
that he kind of plays air with somebody but doesn't
like playing fair with some other people. He kind of
goes in with a goal and a stance and he's

(51:06):
trying to get to that, and you can hear that
in this interview. But I am actually not opposed to
somebody like Tucker Carlson actively with a big audience. I mean,
over twenty eight million people have seen this clip from
his x account. And my feeling is you need kind
of a watchdog like that who will hold people accountable.

(51:28):
It's too often that we like people we want to
see them do well. You know, Trump is a good
example of people. Big Trump fans. They act as though
he could do no wrong. But what if somebody actually
stood up and said, hey, I actually don't like that
this thing is happening, whether that's the big beautiful bill
that got him an elon on his side, whether that

(51:51):
him and Tucker about this Iran thing, whether it's anything
in relation to tariffs, which I know a lot of
people who are economists and even some people in you know,
the Republican Party are is like, I'm not so sure
this is good to explain back to my constituents that
kind of thing. It's important that people are willing to
stand up to any politician and even through proxy. Tucker

(52:13):
Carlson did the same thing through Ted Cruz here in
an interview, and I mean, the full show is over.
You know, it's almost two hours long, so if you
got the time for it, fire away. But for anybody
to say that he has no following, and for Donald
Trump to even mention that yesterday, is like Tucker needs
to find a news channel. I mean, when's the last

(52:35):
time that you've had twenty million people watching a news
network for any given reason? I mean debates, debates, That's it, right, Like,
the only thing that I can think of that as
garnered anywhere close to that kind of audience is a
presidential debate. And if it's not a presidential debate, I
don't think people are really tuned in. They're on different
networks watching different things. So that's kind of where we're at.

(52:57):
I think here is I think Tucker Carls since doing
just fine for what the situation is just food for thought.
