Speaker 1 (00:01):
it's the Elsa Kirk show, with Clay Novak serving up
trending news and conservativeviews brought to you by the Elsa
Kirk collection and refugemedical.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
And now it's time for the show well, folks, as you
can see, clay Novak is no longermy co-host.
There's this other guy here.
That what's your name, sir?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
It's been.
Yes, folks, I shaved For thosegentlemen who've ever grown a
beard.
You know that occasionally youjust got to shave it off.
It's just got to come off and Ihaven't not.
The last time I had I didn'thave a beard was a year before
we were even on the show.
Wow.
So it's been three years sinceI've been clean shaven and I am
already growing it back.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh, my goodness, I love it.
I think it looks great.
I'm a beard girl, I love thebeards, but the clean shaven
looks great too.
You look like a.
You look like a little boy.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Let's not go that far longer maybe, but let's all
right, fair, fair enough, fairenough there's.
There's some, uh some silverthere hanging out in the the
size right underneath that capyeah, so in the beard, all the
gray that was in the beard thatused to be red, that comes from
uh, you know, at least apartially irish background and
so really all red in the beardand that was the first thing to
turn gray, wow yeah, nothinglike giving, nothing like giving

(01:24):
you away, right.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Right, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, we've got a lot of topics.
I'm looking right now.
Yeah, we've got quite a few.
We've been doing that lately.
Huh, we've, um, you know, with,of course, an exception here
and there for big stuff but, um,all all great stuff, all things
that, uh, we can recap for youguys, in case you missed it, or
just expand on it a little more.
But yeah, so let's jump rightinto it.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Today we're talking Charlie Kirk's massive memorial,
jimmy Kimmel's shaky comeback,the White House stirring autism
controversy, whether Americashould walk away from the UN,
kamala's blame shifting book,jussie Smollett's bizarre TV
redemption arc, trump officiallylabeling Antifa a terrorist
group.
Let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
We've got starting right off.
So, you know, we got to startoff a little.
Oh, it's like heavy and it'salso incredibly uplifting.
It's both.
It's, it was literally both.
I don't know how many.
I did not watch the entire thing.
I caught a lot of this but, tobe honest, clay and I'm sure a
lot of people can relate to this, I just needed breaks.

(02:28):
I just needed breaks here andthere from it because it's so
emotional and again, there's, ofcourse, the tremendous sorrow
of it, but there's also, it'salmost even an overload of good
emotion too.
It's almost even an overload ofgood emotion too, because you
know, as we've been talkingabout, not just you and I, but

(02:48):
you know, all across mediaplatforms this will be the, or
was, the largest witnessing ofthe gospel being preached, being
spoken in.
I don't know, you know, maybenot in the history of everything
, but pretty gosh darn close toit.
I mean, you know, I think itwas like something 3 million was
probably like the startingnumber and I'm sure it went up

(03:09):
from there.
As far as how many peopleworldwide saw that.
I'm sure it went up quite a bitfrom that packed State Farm
Stadium in Glendale to honorCharlie Kirk.
The tone was worship, witnessand resolve.

(03:34):
Erica Kirk's forgiveness of herhusband's killer was the moment
that just absolutely took thebreath out of the room.
And we do have it.
And again, if you guys are justso emotionally wrought out, I'm
sorry for showing it to youagain, but it is probably one of
the most powerful things Ithink I've ever seen here.
It is.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
And to save young men , just like the one who took his
life.
I forgive him.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Well, that gets me started up right all over again.
A lot of moments like that fromher.
There were just so manypowerful moments, Hers being the
most of all, I think in my mindthere was a ton of outstanding
speeches made, declarations made.
What did you think of PresidentTrump's talk?

(04:22):
I know there's a lot of mixedfeelings on that.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah, so I, you know I am one.
I've been to too many memorialservices over the years in you
know bad places in the middle ofthe night and all that kind of
stuff, and so I didn't.
I didn't really want to watchthis, but I had an angel on my
shoulder telling me it was thething to do.
Um, so, reluctantly, I watchedit.

(04:44):
Uh, I'm glad I did.
Uh, and it was the best adviceI've gotten in a while.
And uh, so I watched the wholething.
Um, I, you know her background,her education, her composure,

(05:10):
her intellect, but her faithobviously came to the forefront
Resolve.
She clearly is a very, verystrong woman and you know the
fact that she even declared inpublic during that that she is
the new CEO of Turning Pointtells you how important that
organization is to her and wasto Charlie.

(05:31):
So that I thought wasexceptional and, truthfully, the
peak of the day.
Of everyone that spoke, she was.
That was a masterclass,truthfully.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It was.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
It was exceptional.
I wished you know that thepolitics were, you know, not
part of the day, not justPresident Trump.
I thought I thought VicePresident Vance did a better job
than President Trump.
Yeah, but that's not, you know,an uncommon occurrence.
Vice President Vance is anexceptional speaker.
I thought that his, you know,his messaging was really good.

(06:09):
You could tell very, veryclearly when President Trump was
using the teleprompter and whenhe wasn't, when he was on
script and when he was offscript.
And he is off script.
That's when things get out ofhand, they get, you know, off
the rails.
And it was very clear you couldsee he start, you know, because
there's two right.
So you could tell he started,he was over here and he was on
script.

(06:29):
And then he was over here andhe was on script.
And then when he would turn andgo center and face the audience
, you knew he was off book.
So, and that's where he kind oflost some of it, you know, the
deputy White House chief ofstaff, you know, was very
powerful in what he was sayingand talking about, you know, one
political party versus theother.
I just think that should havebeen left out of the day

(06:49):
completely.
I think, overall, it was agreat tribute to Charlie Kirk.
I think it was, you know,befitting.
It was befitting of him thewhole day.
I mean, if you watch the numberslike I watch it on Fox, I don't
, I don't even know numbers likeI watch it on Fox, I don't.
I don't even know if anybodyelse was streaming it, like I
don't know if the other networkscovered it or carried it, um,

(07:10):
but I know I was watching thenumbers.
They had the live viewership onFox, in the lower left corner,
you know, and it crested in themid 600,000.
Um, at one point.
Uh, may have been higher, Imight've missed it, but that was
the highest number I saw and Ithink that was when President
Trump was speaking.
I think, the only thing, though,that really bothered me and I
get the protocols of it I thinkshe should have been last.

(07:32):
I really do, and I know thatPresident Trump brought her back
out, but I think that you knowit's his widow for crying out
loud.
And if it is truly a memorialservice, you know, protocol,
president, I hate to say it goesout the window.
Protocol of anybody, um, youknow, goes out the window.
I think she should last, butthat's just me, um, I, I would

(07:53):
be very interested.
So you know, just like everytime there's a state of the
union or anything else, I wantto know who the designated
survivor was, because there, thevice president was there,
speaker of the house was there,like you know, um, there was,
that was.
The Secret Service must havebeen melting Like that was a
security frigging nightmare,traveling, getting them all
there, getting them all to oneplace.

(08:13):
It's not DC, it's not theCapitol building, like it's that
was.
I can't even imagine thesecurity and logistics that went
into that.
So kudos to the Secret Servicefor pulling that one off.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, absolutely, because you know they had some
credible threats beforehandoutside of the stadium.
And then there's, you know,then you have these, all of
these unknowns, particularly Imean obviously unknowns to us of
things that are probably orwere probably going on in the
background and things that theywere addressing or preemptively.
I can't even imagine, and it is.

(08:46):
It was nerve wracking to kindof witness that.
Like you know, on one hand,it's it's so powerful and
amazing to see all, you know,the the most powerful people in
in the country gathered togetherin honor of this man, who was
not a politician he was not oneof them, you know, and he was

(09:08):
just this incredible 31 year oldman who was, you know, just
speaking truth across the nation.
Of course, so much more thanthat in the realm of politics,
you know, obviously he washugely instrumental in getting
President Trump and JD.
He was hugely instrumental ingetting President Trump and JD
Vance, the youth, the young vote, the college age voters, and

(09:30):
you know so he was soinstrumental and it was, like
you said, it was just amazing tosee such a fitting tribute
being paid to him.
And yeah, I agree with you,clay, there was, you know, some
moments that I caught that werekind of like, ah, kind of not
the time and place.
You know, I'd kind of preferhad you not, um, went there, um,

(09:50):
you know it's tough.
I mean, erica, kurt sets, uh,sets the bar, sets the standard
so high, it is so high, like youknow, I, of course we all
watched her and we've watchedher throughout this, as she's,
so you know, had to publiclynavigate this, this grief and
everything that comes with it,and you know she has been

(10:13):
nothing but composure and graceand class and dignity and all of
these things.
And then you add, then you addforgiveness to it and it's like
I I listen, in my wildest dreamsI would be half of the person
that, that she, that she is, and, uh, I'm just odd and

(10:35):
speechless and it's, it'sdefinitely something, um, you
know, I consider worth rolemodeling after and like keeping
in mind as my, you know I'm, I'mstill in so many of us, I still
I'm as my, you know I'm, I'mstill in so many of us, I still
I'm still angry, you know, I'mstill, I'm still mad and and and
I have, and I honestly have umso much comfort and peace, uh,

(10:56):
which I hope we all do um withwhat happens now, in the fact
that, because of this, so manymore people are being brought to
know Jesus, to at least explorewhat that would mean to them.
And you know so, as is promised, he will bring good from bad.

(11:17):
You know he will bring the goodout of it.
So it's not all for naught.
And so to see that in action,to see that happen, to see the
growth of Turning Point, see allof these things, that's
tremendous joy and peace out ofthe sadness and grief.
But at the same time you stillhave these people that are

(11:37):
mocking, laughing, ridiculing,being absolutely.
I get them in the comments allthe time.
I actually had a lovely time.
I spent like an hour.
Actually, that's probablyexaggerating.
I spent a little time the otherday just going, just going down
the comments and just going.
Block ban, block, ban, blockban, just gone.
I don't care, don't care.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Other than RFK's wife , who you know, and he was a
Democrat up until not that longago.
See, I did not, and maybesomebody.
If you did see, please put inthe comments.
I did not see a single Democratpolitician or leader of any
kind anywhere in the audience ofthat ceremony.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Not one.
I did not either, and so if youguys in the in the comments
section there, if you did see it, please let us know.
Um, who?
Uh, because I, I didn't.
I didn't see it either, clayand I, I wasn't necessarily
looking for it either, so maybeyou know that's part of the
reason why I didn't see it, butyou know, you think they would
the camera would pan right.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
You know, I, I thought, like I was, like I said
I was trying to figure out whothe designated survivor was, and
every time they would look intothe cabinet.
You know, I, I and I thoughtfor a long time I didn't see
christy noem and then all of asudden there she was.
So I'm not saying that I saweverybody, or you know, or
whatever, but I, I can't recallseeing a single democrat leader
of any kind, uh, at the, at thememorial service, um, which, if

(13:00):
that is true is says a lot, itsays everything doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
it says everything.
They've had so many it sayseverything, doesn't it?
It says everything.
They've had so many moments ofsays everything.
You need to know about it, yeah100%.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
So that is, you know, if that is the case, pretty
shameful.
But you know, and that, ofcourse, is the same people that
want everybody to work with themto come together to you know,
blah, blah, blah and it's allhollow, that want everybody to
work with them to come togetherto you know, blah, blah, blah
and it's all hollow, every bitof it's hollow.
So, um, you know, I, it's uh,it's very interesting, was that?
It was an interesting few hours, uh, along the way, uh, but, uh

(13:34):
, like you, I think there was alot of great things said.
Um, you know, for those of usthat that didn't know Charlie
Kirk and his background asintimately as others, you know
to hear some of the folks thathe started with at turning point
or started turning point with,you know, from its earliest days
, a lot of that was great tohear.
You know, there was a lot ofinteresting information that

(13:57):
came out of it and, and verywell done, I think we could have
done without Lee Greenwood.
Personally, I don't like LeeGreenwood and I know president
Trump loves him, but that couldhave done without that and it is
what it is.
But, yeah, I think, I think itwas the entire extravaganza was
very befitting of Charlie Kirkand what he stood for.

(14:18):
And you know, now we're at120,000 turning point
applications.
The entire high school, everysingle high school in the state
of Oklahoma is going to have aTurning Point chapter.
That was announced, I think,today.
Oh, by the way, folks, ournormal recording time, wednesday
4.30, east Coast time, and theydid announce today or yesterday
that every single high schoolin the state of Oklahoma,

(14:39):
amazing, beautiful.
Beautiful and I think you'regoing to start seeing more of
that.
You may not see that, but youwill definitely see things like
that in some of the truthfullythe Bible Belt states, the
flyover states, as they like tocall them.
You know all of usMidwesterners.
But yeah, I thought it wasoverall it was good.
I could have done with some ofthe less, some less politics.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Sure, sure.
And of course we'd be remiss tonot mention the moment where
President Trump and Elon Musksat side by side and shook hands

(15:21):
and had a moment to have thatmoment, very befitting again in
honor of Charlie Kirk to.
You know, set things aside andjust go the route of peace.
And you know, I don't thinkanybody thinks that the
relationship is going to go backto what it was, and I don't
even know if anybody actuallycares greatly.
I don't think so.

(15:42):
I think the interest in thathas pretty much dropped down to
almost nothing.
So, you know, you just hopethat they can work together in
some capacity, or at least notwork against each other, you
know, and just work towards thegreater good which is for the
American people, for thiscountry.
So, if nothing else, hopefullyjust that.
But it was a.
That was a kind of a wow moment, like wow.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
One last kudos, right , and in any good memorial
service there has to be a littlebit of levity, otherwise it's
horrible, right, it's just ahorrible experience.
I think that the top prize formaking people laugh in the
entire thing was Don Jrimitating his dad.
That was great, hilarious, itwas so good it was.
I've never seen him do itbefore.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, I've never seen him do it before, but he did it
perfect.
I mean, he should, he should,he should be the best at it.
If there's anybody that can,he's the guy Absolutely.
But he did a great job.
Yeah, and it wasn't over the top, but again, you know anybody

(16:48):
who's been to those types ofthat in the storytelling about
Charlie, um, but I thought thatDon jr did a great job making,
making everybody smile, um, so Ithought that was appropriate
too.
He did.
I actually liked, uh, I likedpretty much everything that he
said.
I like what he said abouthimself, you know, just, uh, it
was just a little interesting,um, little introspection there
that he had.
That I'm not the guy thatyou're going to see typically,
see, you know I don't cry, Idon't make big displays and you
know, but but yeah, it was, itwas well, well done.
I liked it a lot, a lot, a lotof powerful moments again.

(17:11):
You know, what can we?
What more can you say thanErica Kirk is?
She is a force to be reckonedwith, and and her and the team
that Charlie assembled, you know, and, of course, to know that,
to just simply know that theyhad these conversations, that
this was a well planned out incase of, you know, thing that

(17:35):
they had to talk about and theteam is doing amazing things.
They're doing such, they'reback out today.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
They are doing such.
They're back out today.
They are out today.
Yeah, actually, may even havebeen yesterday, but either
yesterday or today they wereback out on the road doing
turning point stuff, which isexactly what Charlie Kirk would
have wanted.
And if you've seen folks, ifyou haven't seen, you know, my
concern was always who's goingto fill it in, right?
Who's going to fill in behindthem?
We would hope that it's notErica, but you know.
But if you look at the lineupnow, you've got Matt Walsh is

(18:04):
stepping in, ben Shapirostepping in, megyn Kelly
stepping in.
You've got a bunch of peoplewho are stepping up and filling
the holes for Charlie himself.
But that's because the worldcontinues to turn, and
unfortunately, you know.
Moving on to the next topic, wehad another incident of
politically driven violence inthe United States today.

(18:24):
We had another incident ofpolitically driven violence in
the United States today, and youknow some of it.
We had a shooting folks at anICE facility in Texas.
That was driven by politics.
You know, president Trumpdeclared Antifa a terrorist
organization within the last twoweeks which I'm a big fan of,
by the way but what we had todaywas now being declared, a

(18:46):
member of Antifa got on a roofwith a rifle, shot and killed,
shot and injured.
I don't have reports of anybodydying, except for the shooter
who died of a self-inflictedgunshot wound.
I know he injured others, butthe only one I know for a fact
that is dead is him, which.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, I think I actually misunderstood when I
saw that there was one fatality.
I didn't even take the shooterinto accountability.
So obviously I think you'reexactly right.
So yeah, I agree, I think it'sa.
I think it's long overdue.
I think they behave asterrorists.
I think it's long overdue.

(19:26):
I think they behave asterrorists.
So you know, the only questionI guess really comes in, like
the debate, is are they anorganization or are they an
ideology, or are they both, youknow?
So I don't know.
I mean, I think you cansimplify it by simply saying
well, if you're going to act andsay that you're acting on
behalf of Antifa, then you arepart of an organization and
you'll be charged as such.
Like if that is part of yourdescription, self-description of

(19:50):
what you're doing and whyyou're doing it, then okay,
that's what you're gettingcharged with.
I don't know.
It kind of simplifies it in mymind, really.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
And declaring them a terrorist group opens the doors
for the president to use federallevel assets to back down.
Listen, folks, if you think asmuch as people want and there
are days that I'm on the side ofthis I would love to let some
of our top tier specialoperators off the chain and let
them go do things to clear thisup.
That's not how this should behandled, as much as we would

(20:22):
want it to.
On certain days, however, thisshould be handled as much as we
would want it to on certain days.
However, that is at thepresident's disposal at this
point.
Them being designated as aterrorist group.
That is not his intent withthis.
It does, however, open up, goback to, you know, all of these

(20:43):
summer riots over the last threeyears, five years, going all
the way back to COVID.
You know, remember back when itwas like, oh, suddenly there's
this pile of concrete blocksthat have been delivered in this
planned protest route.
There are all of these black.
You know, a van drives up andthey dump out all of these
pre-made shields.
And you know, we all know thatthat funding I've said it before
and I'm not shy about saying itis that funding comes from

(21:04):
people like George Soros andothers, and declaring them a
terrorist organization allowsthe federal government, federal
law enforcement, to investigatewhere this money, where this
funding, is coming from.
And now the criminal chargesare much more significant.
If you're funding a terroristorganization, that's big federal
offense, jail time kind ofstuff, and that's really the

(21:27):
importance of designating it asa terrorist organization, right.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, you know, and hopefully, because you know
let's, let's face that there'sthe majority of Antifa is made
up of these.
You know, wayward youths whoare just looking to you know, be
a part of anarchy and run wildand do whatever.
You know, they don't reallyhave a.
There isn't a passion there,you know, for a cause.

(21:53):
There's just anarchy anddisruption.
And if you're going to and theattitude is, you're going to pay
me to do this.
Sure, I was.
I was doing it for free, butyou want to pay me to do it.
Okay, you know.
So this, maybe we'll give someof them a little little pause
for thought as to consequencefor actions, who knows?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, We've all seen them, even in their black garb
and their masks.
You know they're a bunch ofbeta males.
I mean, you know they are.
They're the you know 6'1",130-pound.
You know skinny boys in thetight jeans.
And then the females that are apart of it are the you know the
blue-haired 17-piercing Like.

(22:29):
And the females that are a partof it are the you know the blue
haired, 17 piercing Like.
We all know the stereotype ofthe Antifa member.
Right, we're not worried aboutthem truthfully, because every
single time that they have comeup against any single individual
or group of people who aretruthfully have any you know a
type, personality, male orfemale, the alpha, you know, top
of the food chain kind ofperson.

(22:51):
It's a very, very shortconflict.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Very, very short, which usually ends with them
running with their tail betweentheir legs.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah, and we're not worried about them.
But what we're worried about isthe funding, the organization,
the information, all of thethings that are being fed to
them to keep this movement going, and that's what the president
and federal law enforcement istrying to break apart.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yep, yep, I love it.
I think it's great.
Don't really care what thefolks that are opposed to it
have to say, and you know, asalways, cry harder you know.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
But in regards to the shooting today, vice President
Vance did say that they haveintel that this was an antifa
member.
It was a politically drivenanti-ice action.
Specifically, I think they'vesaid I hate to say copycat, but
a little bit of copycat therewere things inscribed on bullets
in the rifle and some otherthings.
So politically driven violence,which we talked about at length

(23:42):
last week, continued becausewe've got governors,
specifically governors newsom,frisker being another, you know,
got governors, specificallygovernors Newsom being one,
pritzker being another.
We've got governors across theUnited States who are making
very inflammatory anti-ICEstatements, idiots like this guy
to do what he did today.
And it's politically drivenviolence or it's violence driven

(24:02):
by politics and by politiciansduly elected across the nation,
and it's shameful.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Right, and of course, not just the politicians, the
media personalities, who howabout that segue?
But, um, um, you know mediapersonalities who have, um, you
know, influence over the masses,and I and I'm not saying that
this guy is some big,influential person, but the fact
that he has the, the capabilityof reaching millions of people

(24:29):
via the airwaves, um, this is aproblem for spreading lies and
all of those things.
And uh, then, coming back withyou know so, so you know the
story, in case you don't.
Uh, so Jimmy Kimmel made somereally garbage comments.
Uh, on his show I think it waslike this, on the 17th or by the
minimum day, he was yanked,made some really messed up

(24:52):
comments.
Basically said that the shooter, charlie Kirk's murderer, was a
MAGA I forget his exact words,but basically just called a MAGA
Republican and, and you know,blamed, blamed the right for
this.
And this was well after.
It was already well determinedand known that that was not the

(25:14):
case, um, at all.
Uh, so he said these, he spreadthese lies knowingly.
So abc yanks, um, you know,because everybody kind of lost,
lost their rightfully, losttheir minds over it.
And then he got ABC reinstatedhim on September 23rd after a
suspension and, but still mostmajor, or a couple of the major

(25:36):
affiliate groups, sinclair andNextar, are still preemptive.
Yeah, are still like, nah,we're not putting them on.
But he returned nonetheless andhe gave and we're doing very
obvious air goes.
He gave an emotional I'm notcalling it an apology.
It was absolutely—it wasdefinitely not an apology.
I'm going to play it for youall right here, in case you

(25:59):
missed it or are a part of it.
Here it is.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
For my intention to make light of the murder of a
young man.
I don't think there's anythingfunny about it.
I posted a message on Instagramon the day he was killed,
sending love to his family andasking for compassion, and I
meant it, and I still do.
Nor was it my intention toblame any specific group for the

(26:21):
actions of what it wasobviously a deeply disturbed
individual.
That was really the opposite ofthe point I was trying to make,
but I understand that to some,that felt either ill-timed or
unclear, or maybe both, and forthose who think I did point a
finger, I get why you're upset.
If the situation was reversed,there's a good chance I'd have
felt the same way.
I have many friends and familymembers on the other side who I

(26:42):
love and remain close to, eventhough we don't agree on
politics at all.
I don't think the murderer whoshot Charlie Kirk represents
anyone.
This was a sick person whobelieved violence was a solution
, and it isn't ever.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
You should have said that the first time.
You should have said that thefirst time.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
So everything about that, from beginning to end, was
BS the crocodile tears in thebeginning.
So I'll tell you this and Isaid this I made a video about
this already, you know, on myplatforms, and I am generally a
sucker for emotion, you know,somebody cries, I cry.
It's just really that simple.
And so I watched it late, late,like really late last night.

(27:29):
I couldn't fall asleep, so Ijust started doom scrolling and
that came up and I watched it.
Listen, my, my immediatereaction or response was to
basically say, ah, okay, that'snice.
And I was like oh, I want topost something about this and
say good job, jimmy, because I'mfreaking nice.
I know that didn't sound verynice, but I am because I'm nice

(27:51):
and I want to believe the bestin people, even though they give
me no reason to.
And I decided hang on, you justwatch that really quickly, it's
late, you're tired, wait tilltomorrow, watch it again and
then see how you feel.
But which is exactly what I did.
And then I watched it againthis morning and I, which is

(28:16):
exactly what I did.
And then I watched it againthis morning and I'm like hang
on a stinking minute here.
I didn't hear the words.
I'm sorry, I apologize, I'mwrong, I was wrong, none of the
things that qualify as anapology.
Then I remembered oh hey, theguy's an actor.
Tears are easy, you know thatlittle shaky voice, choked up
sound, you know I can do that.
I could cry right now for you,like at the drop of a hat.
Just think about crying.
I can cry.
It's a skill, I guess I don'tknow.

(28:38):
But point being, he's an actor,you can cry on command or make
it look like you're crying oncommand.
I didn't see a tear fall.
Also, there's all these otherfactors.
There's the body language,right.
There's the word choice,choices, all of these things you
put them together.
That was really likedefensiveness, blame shifting,
you know that was.

(28:58):
You know I'm sorry, you didn'tuse the words.
I'm sorry, but listen, youmisunderstood what I was saying.
So I mean I don't know what youwant me to do.
I guess, if you took it wrong,you know, I guess that was like
the gist of it.
Like well, you misunderstood,you didn't really catch what I
was saying, you didn'tunderstand the nuance of what I
was saying.
A hundred percent BS, a to Z,zero acceptance of that

(29:24):
non-apology.
So I non-accept yournon-apology, you know?
Yeah, no, just made it worse.
Really, in my mind, he made itworse.
All he did was confirm what anabsolute jerk he is, and I think
I repeatedly called him anidiot.
So I'm going to I'll stick withthat one too, with zero
apologies.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yeah, he did even try and lay some blame on on
president Trump.
Uh, suspended um as opposed to.
You know, because of thismerger that everybody keeps
bringing up and listen, you cansay anything you want.
And there's a lot of people whoare saying and I have friends
and relatives that are like well, bill Mead, you know, said this

(30:03):
and so-and-so on this.
You know, network said this,listen, and they're talking
about these FCC rules.
Okay, the reality is the FCCgoverns free television.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
The FCC does not govern cable television, right?
So Kilmeade can say whatever hewants.
Anybody who's on cable can sayCNN, they do it all the time.
Wow.
When you're on network TV,which Kimmel is, then the FCC
can hold you accountable.
So, no, the rules are not thesame.
It's like your kids, right, therules.

(30:36):
I've got kids.
The rules were not the same andthey're not the same between
network and cable.
So Kimmel can blame thepresident all he wants he can,
and I really don't care.
The reality is is that Nexstarand Sinclair said we don't care,
we don't care if ABC let himback in, we're not carrying him,
and so that he'll get a spikein the ratings.

(30:59):
He said it himself.
He said this backfired onPresident Trump, because you
know I'm back and you knowmillions of people are going to
are watching and that'll lastabout till the end of the week
and then next week his ratingswill go back in the toilet worse
than they were before.
You know, give it by the end ofthe season or by the end of his
contract, and he'll be gone,just like Colbert and all of the

(31:21):
rest of them.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yes, yep, absolutely.
Listen, we're not saying theycan't have a platform, they're
just going to go start upsomewhere else.
They'll start a podcast,they'll do all of the things and
and I I applaud your exactly, Iapplaud your, your right and
your ability to do that.
But again, it's the same old,same old.
There there's going to beaccountability, like there's

(31:42):
going to be a consequence foryour, your actions, your blatant
lies, and it goes back to whatwe were saying about antifa.
You know that that people likethese politicians that we were
talking about and people likejimmy kimmel and the you know
quacking hens over on the viewand all of these other there
another one right, um, you know,all of these people, that you

(32:06):
are the ones blowing the dogwhistle for these antifa idiots
and these deranged, mentallyunstable people.
You are dog whistling, they'reanswering that whistle and you
are directly responsible foreverything that has been going
on because you have inflamed andincited this hateful, violent

(32:28):
mentality, and we have.
We.
There are videos upon videosupon videos, compilation videos
of people on the left, prominentpeople Maxine Waters what's her
skeletor face there?
Pelosi, on and on.
Jasmine Crockett, aoc all ofthese people saying the most
inflammatory things andliterally calling for unrest in

(32:51):
the streets, calling forviolence.
Maxine Waters shaking that bonyfinger.
Joel, if they're in arestaurant, you go and approach
them and you let them know thatthey're not welcome here, you
know.
So you're being, you're beingheld accountable.
Cry all you want about it, dowhatever, I don't care.
But we have hit the point inthis society where we're finally

(33:12):
truly, truly fighting back.
And I'm not advocating fighting, you know, retaliating violence
for violence, um, butaccountability, accountability,
that's it.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
I'll say it all damn day, yeah, yeah speaking of the
view, elsa's back in businessfolks.
Oh my goodness, kamala has comeout of her hole, out of the
cave, and uh, she is.
I think it's today, is it today?

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I think it was either yesterday or today, I forget
which one.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Her new book is out, so she's doing the book tour,
folks.
Yeah, um, and course she'sgoing to cater to the normal
audience, and that starts with,as the blonde Kamala put it, the
cackling hens over on the View.
And so she made her firstappearance.
Are you going to buy the book,is my question.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
No, you know what I'm going to do.
I am going to.
So I have a folder.
You call them I don't know whoyou know, if you don't use chat
GPT at all um, you can organizeyour projects or your questions,
your prompts, whatever you wantto call it, into folders.
And I have a folder that I putin essentially like book prompts
, like, um, summarize this book.
Like, if I'm going to interview, like I'm I'm tattletailing on

(34:23):
myself here, If I'm going tointerview somebody uh, an author
, they've written a book and I'mgoing to interview somebody an
author, they've written a book,and I'm going to interview them,
but there's no time to readtheir books.
And, frankly, if I had to readthe stack, there's enough time
in the day, not enough time inthe day, so I'll put in there.
I'll say summarize this book.
There's something called the80-20 hack.
So give me the 20% of thecontent that gives me 80% of the

(34:45):
information from this book.
In this case, that is what I'mgoing to do.
I'm going to put it into aprompt.
I'm going to ask my chat tojust give me the 20 percent that
gives me the 80 percent ofinformation that I need to know
from this book.
It's probably only going tofind like two percent of
valuable information from it.
So the answer is no, yes, fairenough, fair enough, right?

(35:08):
Oh, clay, I can't tell you howmany people are messaging me and
throwing in the comments andcalling me and saying you have
to do so first of all.
They're saying you've got towatch her on the View and do
that one specifically.
You said it as well.
Right, I will do it, I will.
I cannot deny that.
I'm struggling to find my funnybone still, but this may be the

(35:30):
incentive to just shake it offand take one for the team and do
it.
But you know she's up to herusual speaking engagement tricks
.
Right, it's all the word salads.
It's the recycled same thingover and over again.
Here's a little montage thatsomebody put together, and I
don't know who put it togetherand I'm so sorry whoever did,

(35:51):
but here it is.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
It stays running for reelection.
Current sitting president isrunning for reelection.
Running for reelection Threeand a half months from the
election decides not to runThree and a half months from the
election.
He decides not to run Three anda half months before the
election.
Decides not to run with onehundred and seven days to go.
With one hundred and seven days.

(36:13):
With one hundred and seven daysto go.
And it ended up being theclosest presidential election in
the 21st century.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, ok, so it was right there.
It's Jesse Waters.
He gets credit for that.
Fox gets credit for that one.
Yeah, so same recycled thingsand like and I apologize to
everyone, including us, formaking this comparison, but I
will say, much like Trump, whenthey go off script, things go a
little sideways, and when shegoes off script, that's that's
when you get the word saladsright, that's when it becomes a

(36:43):
you know, well, you know, I wenton.
I went on this book tour becausewhen you tour you're going to
places and I didn't even do thevoice.
I'm sorry guys, I didn't evendo the voice, yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
So yeah, she's the things that I have picked up on,
besides, of course, kamalabeing Kamala, the word salad and
repeating the same thing overand over and over again.
She has told all of us that shewanted to pick, uh, mayor, pete
, uh, as her running mate.
Right, and then revealed to usthat, because she is a, I want

(37:16):
to get this right, because sheis a black female, she could not
as much as she wanted to she.
It was too risky to have a gayman as her running mate, so she
basically said, no matter howqualified she felt he was, she
didn't have the intestinalfortitude to say he's the most

(37:39):
qualified, he's going to be myrunning mate.
She kowtowed, which is a greatindicator that we all make the
right decision not to elect heras president, right?
So that's number one.
Two, she thinks all of Americaare biased, bigoted ignoramuses
who would never vote a ticketwith a black female and a gay
man on the same ticket together.
So we're all wrong.

(37:59):
She also said, on that view Itold you this before we started
that, president, she is so loyal, so loyal.
That's why she, when they askedher if there was anything that
she would do differently thanpresident Biden because she said
absolutely nothing comes tomind, right.

(38:21):
Right, she did that purely outof loyalty to president Biden,
because she didn't want to, youknow, feel bad.
She didn't want to make himlook bad, that she didn't think
that people were going to bemake such a big deal out of it
that they were so clamoring forsomething different from
President Biden.
She didn't think it was goingto be that big of a deal.
So you know, what she's doingis she didn't want to.

(38:41):
She said she didn't want tothrow him under the bus.
Listen, folks, she's throwingeverybody under the bus this
entire book tour, the bookitself.
Everybody's under the bus.
And why is she doing it, elsa?
So that in three and a halfyears she, in three years, she
can put you back to work becauseshe is running again.
Yeah, no mistake yeah, she's.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
She's gonna spend.
This is gonna be her rebrandingera.
You know she's gonna try andrebrand, but she can't get out
of her own way.
She can't do it.
It's impossible.
She has and has always had zerolikability.
That's not going to change.
I mean, the team of people thatwould have to work on her to

(39:22):
literally change her entirepersona.
It can't be done it won't bedone.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
You know why it can't be done, though it's because
she won't do it.
She won't.
You're right.
This is from the time that shewas the vice president.
We all saw this go back in timeto making her the borders.
Every task that she was given,she notoriously did zero prep
work, zero.
She didn't get smart on thetopic, she didn't rehearse the
speeches, she didn't do any ofthe study, the black binder work
that she is required to do.

(39:49):
She did none of it.
And this is the same thing.
She will never get electedbecause she will never improve
herself, because she'll neverput the work in, because she's
frigging lazy.
And I'll say it I've never saidit before, but I'm going to say
it out loud the only reason shegot to where she was was
because she started out hercareer doing things she
shouldn't be doing to getpromoted in the state of

(40:09):
California, and that's all alongthe way.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
And it's been widely documented and you know how you
know it's true Because she neverfought it, nope, never fought
it.
Never denied it, Never, youknow, pressed charges against
her or filed a suit for slanderor defamation or any of those
things, and that tells you awhole heck of a lot right there.

(40:33):
So you know just saying, oh,which one you want to do next,
Clay?
I don't even think we have agood segue, so I think we can
just bop right over.
How about this one here?

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Oh, folks, listen, President Trump intimated
something about this at theCharlie Kirk's Memorial, which,
again, I wish he would have justleft out, but he didn't.
He said there's going to be,you know, this big announcement
about autism and it wasannounced on Monday both him and
RFK Jr.
Folks, I urge everyone to goback and listen to what was said

(41:10):
.
Now we know you know, elsa andI just were talking about this
when he goes off script, thingsget dangerous.
There are some things he couldhave said better.
He probably didn't need todescribe autism as this awful,
horrific, terrible thing.
Now, listen, if it'spreventable and we've allowed
autism to not only continue butincrease, then yeah, there's

(41:32):
some horrific things going onthere.
However, he probably could havehandled that better.
But the message is there arestudies.
There are studies from MountSinai, there are studies from
Harvard Medical.
There are literally probably 18studies out there right now
that have identified a linkagenot necessarily singular cause
people, but linkages between theuse of acetaminophen

(41:56):
everybody's commonly sayingTylenol, but the use of
acetaminophen during pregnancyby the mother, as well as the
vaccination schedule thathappens to newborn babies, roll
all that together with someother environmental causes, all
that together with some otherenvironmental causes and there
are linkages that may help usunderstand why there's been an

(42:16):
increase in autism.
They are not saying Tylenolcauses use of Tylenol by the
mother causes autism.
They're not saying that thevaccine, that use of vaccines
causes autism.
What they're saying is there isevidence that needs to be
explored that the combination ofall of these things is
increasing the risk or theoccurrence of autism.
There is evidence of that thatneeds to be further explored.

(42:38):
But, of course, what are weseeing, elsa?
We're seeing the immediatereaction in the opposite
direction.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Yeah.
So I don't know if you guys areprivy to this, but, like almost
immediately after, theparticular part of our
population decided to start atrend of making these videos of
themselves taking Tylenol.
I agree with you.

(43:08):
Poor Tylenol is really gettinga bum rap here, because
everybody's just using Tylenolas the blanket statement.
So we really should be justsaying acetaminophen.
Tylenol, of course, is a makerof acetaminophen.
That's the brand name, sothey're kind of getting a
beating.
But before I show you the littlevideo I have, let me just show
you their tweet.
Now, take a look at the date.
Take a look at the date onthere.
This is how long they have beensaying this, for this is not

(43:31):
new news.
So that is what makes thisupcoming little short video here
all the worse and more horrific.
So here we go.
I don't think I have any soundon this.
Yeah, I don't have any sound onit, but this is just.
This is what's going wild overon the over on the ticky tock

(43:51):
over there.
Probably reels too, I don'tknow, but it's all these
pregnant women and this is justa short sampling of them taking
Tylenol for the camera to make apoint.
And you know, I could guess thatthe only point that they're
making here is that they areidiots, they are reckless and
they probably have no businessbecoming parents.

(44:14):
The fact that they would be soreckless and potentially
endanger the health and safetyof their unborn babies all to
thumb their nose at.
President Trump and RFK Jr who,by the way, probably will never
see those videos never carebecause they're kind of busy

(44:35):
working doing things for aliving to care about TikTok
videos.
So your whole point that you'remaking is what I'll tell you,
what it is that you're an idiot,that you are reckless, and I
personally wish you could becharged with child endangerment,
because to do that, knowingbeing told not just by the

(44:57):
president, the studies, thestudies are out there.
Scientists I don't know why Iair quoted that there's no air
quote for that Scientists havedone studies.
Maybe it's not the scientiststhat you want, I'm sorry, it's
not Dr Fauci telling you.
Maybe if it was him you wouldlisten.
But wow, wow, you know.
And of course all the jokescome up now, like well, maybe
President Trump should tell them, you know, that oxygen is good

(45:20):
for them, you know, and all ofthese things, so that you know I
mean that's not a nice, not anice joke.
But you get it.
I mean we all get it.
It's just it's so wild to me,isn't it?
It's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
It's uh, you know there's a lot of people that are
going back to you know, hey, inthe seventies we didn't.
We learned don't smoke.
You know, we learned you knowno more than you know, and this
is even arguable now.
It was like, okay, a glass ofwine.
Right, there was that.
And then it was like, okay, noalcohol.
Like, we've learned thesethings along the way.

(45:54):
There are again, like we've said, plenty of studies out there.
No one is saying this isdirectly, this is the direct
cause.
No one has said that.
I know that's what people arehearing.
Because they're not listening,they're being blinded by or
deafened by, you know thishatred, but they're not
listening and they're cherrypicking the opinions.

(46:14):
I don't know if you've seen it.
I've seen probably a half adozen people re-quoting or
retweeting a guy that says I'm adoctor and a father, right, and
I say listen, man, I don't care.
Harvard Medical, mount Sinaiand about a dozen other medical
organizations have done studiesand say there's a linkage,

(46:35):
there's cause, like there issomething there that needs to be
further studied.
You, the pediatrician father, Iappreciate that you have an
opinion.
It really holds no weight.
That would make me, you know,go beyond or go against
literally a dozen plus studiesby major medical organizations
that say otherwise.

(46:55):
I appreciate your opinion, buteverybody who's taking those and
retweeting them are being sovery dishonest in all of this.
They're the same people thatthey're.
They're the horse tranquilizerpeople.
Right, right, they're.
They're the Fauci.
You know the people who praisedhim like he was a you know a
deity it's.
It is unbelievable the amountof blind and deaf hatred that

(47:17):
are going on, that are causingthese women to do this, these
stupid, stupid things.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yeah, it's.
Um, it's just so appalling,those poor innocent little
babies.
That these, these women wouldbe willing to be so potentially
reckless with their lives isprobably right.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
Reckless is the is the perfect word for this, yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yeah, it's, I don't care.
I personally, if I were, youknow, if this was me back in the
day expecting my child, andsomebody said, if there were
studies, even people I don'tknow where mothers were smoking
while pregnant, drinking whilepregnant, and then when they

(48:05):
heard, hey, it might not be agood idea, you stop.
I mean, plenty of people didn'tand they took their chances.
But, generally speaking, yourpriority is to protect your
unborn child at all costs.
It will never make sense to meto hate so blindly that you'll
harm yourself and your child.

(48:27):
Yeah, just just for spite, likewow.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
Those are wow.
Say this, and I know this isgeneralizing, but those are the
same women who are still at six,seven, eight, nine months
pregnant, riding in the frontseat of their car with airbags.
They're like, well, yeah, well,what do you expect me to do?
I expect you to sit in the backto protect your child.
In the event that there's even a32 mile an hour fender bender

(48:51):
that's going to activate theairbags because the airbags are
going to do damage to your child.
You do those things to protectyour child and it's not you know
.
Check your ego at the friggingdoor um to to protect that child
.
So it's the same people.
It's shameful, it'sembarrassing, but that's where
we're at folks.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
That is where we're at and I simply won't entertain
it anymore.
I think I was saying thisbefore we came on air.
I don't think I said that onair.
I did say it on air.
I spent some time just hittingthat block and ban button and
you know, if you're just, ifyou're just going to come on and
say the stupidest, mostignorant, inflammatory,

(49:29):
combative things, you're just,you're not welcome.
If I see it, I'm just banningyou.
I don't care, like I don't, Idon't need you to follow me, I
don't need your engagement.
You know, we always talk aboutpeople who do social media and
media for a living.
You talk about how engagementis the most important thing
because that's how it drivesrevenue for your platform.
I don't need it.

(49:49):
That bad, I'm good, I'm good.
Just go away.
I don't even care.
Be mad about it.
Go ahead and cry on your ownplatform that I'm taking away
your freedom of speech.
I'm not, obviously, but that'swhat they like to say.
Yeah, I'm not entertaining anyof it, just goodbye.
That's it.
We can talk about some moresilliness now, since we've moved
into the realm of absolutelysilly people and silly things.

(50:10):
I mean, what the heck and heck.
So Clay sent this to me, so youknow the routine guys, clay, I
make Clay do all the heavylifting and he has to pick the
topics for us.
So he sent me this one To one.
To be honest with you guys, Idon't watch regular television.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't watch any reality TV,except there is one.
I'm not even going to confesswhich one I watch.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Dancing with the Stars, that's you.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
So I'm only catching clips of it on TikTok.
I'm just catching all thehighlights of it on TikTok.
But there is one that I watch.
Half of you won't even know,more than half of you won't even
know what this is, but it's theSecret Lives of Mormon Wives
and it's because I follow well,she's one of the girls on there
on.
Dancing with the Stars is partof the Secret Lives of Mormon
Wives.
I only started watching itbecause I follow one or two of
the girls on that platform.
It's my guilty pleasure, Idon't care, nobody making me

(51:10):
feel guilty about it, sowhatever, but anyhow, um, so I
knew nothing about this show.
I I didn't know.
Uh, special forces.
So correct me on this if youneed to Clay and I know you
don't watch it either Um, butbut it's like kind of B list
celebrities, like reality starsand stuff that um go on the show
and they compete in like veryphysical challenges.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Yeah, it is, it's your, your standard pool.
It's former professionalathletes, it's be.
You know it's it's reality TV.
It's B rated.
You know actors and actresses.
You know it is that same crowdof people.
Right, it's it's season 22 ofdancing with the stars.
It's once they've run out oflike people.
These are the people that getto so it.

(51:45):
There are physical challengesthat are supposed to replicate.
You know things that specialforces guys do, which you know I
, I protest in general, um, butI, I saw a commercial that was
actually I don't know if it wasbefore or after the Charlie Kirk
thing on Fox and because thisis a Fox TV show and you know,
so, you know you know seasonfour, special forces, and I,

(52:08):
like I got up to go to thebathroom or the kitchen or
something and all of a sudden itsaid just be small, you know
small.
And I was like stopped, likeyou can rewind your TV nowadays
and you know I was like one.
I cannot believe that Fox orany other network has brought
this guy back.
But then I was like he is DannyBonaduce.

(52:31):
Yes, screech, he's OJ Simpson,he's.
He's all of those people youknow and people.
There are people who will watch, to watch him suffer and fail,
right, right.
I actually it flashed through mybrain.
I was like I want to see thisguy with a downed rucksack
running up the hill like suckingthe life out of him.

(52:52):
But this is, this is wherewe're at, folks.
He's getting a second chance atlife.
The worst of the worst.
Good grief, he never killedanybody, but he may as well have
Like this is, you know, incelebrity dumb, whatever you
want to call it.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Yeah, there's so many examples like him, our Greta,
our Greta, who keeps gettinganother another 15 minutes of
fame every, every once in awhile.
Oh, it's so silly.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Guys, if any of you watch it, if you're, if you're a
Dave Chappelle fan, he is knownas Juicy Sommelier inave
chappelle comedy world, but uhyeah it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Oh yeah, I think I we pronounced his last name wrong
day.
I think I just said jesse,small it, and I think it's
supposed to be small a orsomething, right, I don't even
know.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Calls him this in his comedy routine juicy sommelier
juicy sommelier, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Well, I don't know.
I guess more power to him.
I mean, if you're gettingyourself another 15 minutes,
good on you, I guess.
I mean, if you want to keepembarrassing yourself, go for it
, whatever.
Oh, we did skip one, that Iskipped one.
It was my fault.
We skipped one that wasactually, you know, less, less
comical, a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Listen, folks, we'll.
We'll hit this one really quickbecause we are out of time.
So, president, this is the 80thGeneral Assembly of the UN,
which, for those of you thatdon't know or don't realize, is
held in New York.
That's where the UNheadquarters is at.
So, president Trump went tospeak in front of the General
Assembly.
There were a couple of thingsthat happened that were very
suspicious and again, I'm not aconspiracy theorist, but I don't

(54:21):
believe in coincidences.
Him and the First Lady steppedonto an escalator that
immediately stopped.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Here it is.
I've got it, clay, you've gotit.
All I got from the UnitedNations was an escalator that,
on the way up, stopped right inthe middle If the first lady
wasn't in great shape, she wouldhave fallen, but she's in great
shape, we're both in good shape, we both stood and then a
teleprompter that didn't work.
These are the two things I gotfrom the United Nations a bad

(54:48):
escalator and a bad teleprompter.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Yeah, so, like you said, you know one thing, two
things, and you know I wouldn'tcall the escalator a significant
thing, but the teleprompter ispretty significant.
I mean that's, that's, that isdefinitely a significant thing.
And he ended, actually ended,that little segment.
I cut it off, I apologize, bysaying some somebody is going to
be in big trouble, meaning theteleprompter person.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
So, but so we, you know, we put billions of dollars
every year.
Twenty twenty three, I think,was the last full year that they
really tallied up every penny.
13 plus billion dollars the UShas put into the UN and really
what we're getting out of it isnothing.
The UN is a shambles.
The Argentinian president todayactually, or even yesterday,

(55:36):
really did a great job, folks,and I encourage you to check it
out online, but he laid out allthe things that the UN UN is
doing right now and not in agood way.
So they're allowingdictatorships like Venezuela and
Cuba into the UN.
They are, you know, kind ofignoring or allowing in
countries that do not supportwomen's rights, mostly the
Muslim countries from the MiddleEast.

(55:57):
They're, you know, kind ofturning a blind eye to, you know
, violations of, kind of turninga blind eye to violations of
humanitarian everything byallowing countries like Iran to
be on committees, et cetera, etcetera.
And President Trump's positionon this is it's probably, if the
UN doesn't get their acttogether, the US is walking out,
and we are not just the home ofthe UN oh, by the way, pick up

(56:21):
that big building and move itsomewhere else but also we're
the biggest donor to the UN andif you want to see the UN
collapse, let the United Stateswalk away.
We have the most bargainingpower and that's kind of, as a
businessman, where the presidentis sitting and truthfully, very
much like NATO.
I agree with him that if wedon't walk away, we certainly
need to step back because we'renot getting anything out of it,

(56:43):
right.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, I mean it's.
It's just seems like a seemslike a common sense matter of
fact.
Move to to do that and and Isay that you know, with the
caveat of saying yes, I don'tknow what the bigger
implications of that.
If we do that, you know howdoes that affect us?
I mean, it certainly doesn'tsound like it affects us a whole
heck of a lot, except for justputs a few more bucks in our
pocket right and a little moredignity back.

(57:04):
That was highly insulting.
That was extremelydisrespectful.
Listen, you can say there weretwo freak accidents that
happened in a row.
I don't buy it.
I don't think you buy it either.
This whole escalator thing.
They were deliberate moves tomake him look bad, to make him
look foolish and, by proxy, makeus as America look foolish and
embarrass us.

(57:24):
Essentially, that doesn't workfor me and that sure as heck
does not work for presidentTrump.
I can guarantee that.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
So you know my last comment is I was a little
shocked.
The zero reaction by the secretservice.
Yeah, what the heck Like?
Literally nobody did anything.
The guys kept walking up thestairs, the guys behind him
didn't do anything.
The guy, nobody did anything.
The guys kept walking up thestairs, the guys behind them
didn't do anything.
The guy, nobody did anything.
Right In my mind, as a guy whoran security for, you know, or
was in charge of security for apretty significantly important,

(57:52):
you know, military officer, whenthat escalator stopped, in
light of all of the violencethat's going on right now, the
first lady became stationarytargets for just enough.
Yeah, enough time.
That's a fantastic point.
Yeah, literally no reactionwhatsoever.
Secret service presidentialdetail did nothing.
Yeah, no change in posture.

(58:13):
Most of them didn't even stopLike it was.
That, to me, was egregious andprobably somebody needs to be
held accountable for that.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know what?
That's actually a huge point,that that went right over my
head, to be perfectly honest,and the only thing that I I, I
did, you know, notice and pickup on and kind of give a little
little round of applause was, uh, melania Trump just gone, fine
you know just kind of like, okay, I'll just walk them, I'll just
walk up, I'm not going to standhere like an idiot, I'm walking

(58:41):
up and you know so good on herfor just taking charge and just
handling the kind of likeexactly what you're saying,
though, like nobody's doinganything.
All right, I will take charge, Iwill lead.
You know so good on her forthat.
But you're absolutely right,that's a little scary, a lot of
scary.
I hope you're right that.
I mean I agree with you and Ialso hope that some
accountability happens there, atleast a little little

(59:03):
conversation.
But uh, ooh, we.
That was a lot of topics, man.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Yeah.
