Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Monday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
starts right now. Appreciate you all hanging out with us,
spending some time with us.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Here.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Much to dive into.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Clay back from a wonderful weekend of Trump an nced
double A wrestling flying on Trump Force one, no less
air Force one. He will break down all of the
biggest takeaways from this and all that play.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I assume you had a fantastic time.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I did, and just to be clear, I imagine that I
have set a record that probably may not have been
ever in existence. I landed in New York City and
Philadelphia and then returned to Washington, d C.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
With President Trump.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
And I landed like midnight we did on Saturday, turning
into Sunday, checked into the hotel, woke up early, headed
straight to the airport, and hopped on a Southwest Airlines flight.
How many people do you think have gone Air Force
one to Southwest Airlines? I would say that is probably
the extreme. You can't go in different more extreme for aviation.

(01:13):
So that was my arrive in DC on Air Force one,
leave Air Force one on Southwest Airlines. And anyway, we've
got a lot to talk about. We've got some good
clips from President Trump. He wanted to tell all of
you he'll be on with us soon and that he
is proud of the success this show is having and
that he misses Rich So he wanted me to tell

(01:36):
all of you that and that he is thankful, and
I talk to you about it, Buck. I mean, maybe
my biggest takeaway is just how comfortable he looks. He
just has done this before. And I think anytime you
have a brand new job, whether it's president of the
United States or president of a company, or heck, just
a manager for the first time, you don't really know

(01:58):
what you don't know, and he knows exactly how to
do this job, and he just seems very very comfortable
in it. And I think you can see that through
the first sixty days how well things have gone.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
So yeah, I saw some clips from the Wrestling Championships.
It looked like it was I've never seen an NCAA
wrestling tournament get so much attention. So Trump going there
has has elevated elevated that sport in a way that
I have never seen before. We've also got updates on
the border and and immigration. I know Trump Klay spoke

(02:33):
to you about that. Will play that clip in a
little bit. I do want to spend some time today
on the woke snow White disaster. Yeah, just because I
think it is part of the overall trend right now.
I think it is. It's part of what we've seen,
which is this woke stuff now doesn't not only does

(02:54):
not work anymore increasingly they clown themselves when they try this.
They are making big mistakes in the marketplace. From what
I saw, it cost somewhere in the two hundred and
fifty million dollars plus range to make the movie. When
you add marketing into that, marketing is usually one hundred
percent of production budget. As I understand it, not that

(03:14):
I'm in the movie business, but that's what I've read,
and it has made. It made forty million dollars in
its opening weekend. That's what That's what we've been told.
So I think there's something something to be discussed here
about all the decisions that were made. Snow White is
like a boss girl. Now. It's not about like you know,
happily ever after and finding true love and prince charming.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
She's a boss girl.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, nobody wants to see this crap, and maybe they
should figure that out, or they won't, and things will
things will start to continue to fall apart from them.
Tim Walls is backpedaling on what he said about Tesla.
I remember Clay last week. We gave him a really
tough time about the Tesla situation, as I think anyone should.
When he says that he's rooting for Tesla stock to

(03:58):
go down dramatically. It's moronic for somebody in this country
to say that for a whole range of reasons, especially
for a Democrat who's supposed to care about climate change.
But I was gonna start with this Judge Boseburg. Remember
this guy, Clay, the one that wanted the planes to
turn around, has rejected the Trump administration's attempt to rescind

(04:19):
his restraining order, and he says that he thinks the
Venezuelans mark for deportation under the Enemy Alien Enemies Act
are likely to win. They're entitled to hearings, they're entitled
to due process. Democrats are now in the position of
going to the mat to defend who we believe are

(04:40):
violent gang members who are.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
In the country.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I think this is going to continue to just pile
up the els the losses for all Democrats.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, the big structural issue that is in play, and
we have talked about this a lot, but I don't
think most people really have understood exactly how this is designed.
All of these federal district court judges, and they're about
six hundred of them, roughly half of them are left

(05:11):
wing appointees, and they have decided that they are going
to be the front line's opposition to allowing any sort
of success for the Trump administration. And this is just
designed to be roadblocks against the Trump train. And they
know this is what we told you would happened. But

(05:33):
it's why the Trump team is moving so fast. They
know that if they can get a part of Congress back, right,
if they can win the House, because they're not going
to take the Senate back, once they get to the
summer of twenty twenty six, everything bogs down. So really
Trump has now in order to get his agenda underway

(05:54):
about a year and we hope that he is going
to be able to retain the House and that certainly
he's going to have the Senate to work for, but
really they know he's a one term president now and
he's got to get a ton done in the first
eighteen months, and they basically decided the best way to
keep that from happening is to throw themselves athwart his agenda.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
This is the judges.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
What should happen is the Supreme Court should step in
rather quickly on some of these things and say this
is clearly within the province of the president's powers. I
was reading in the Wall Street Journal this morning a
well articulated argument about how if the president doesn't have
the ability to deport violent felons who are not citizens,

(06:43):
what in the world does he have the ability to
do that seems buck to me the very foundation of
the president's powers.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, well, this is why I think this judge is
likely to be, you know, be found wrong on this.
I think he will be overturned. I think that there's
no chance that he is going to get his question say,
no chance, it's a low chance he's gonna end up
getting his way in this. But the problem, and this
is what keeps coming up again and again, is that

(07:11):
the slow down and the like I always say, the
process is the punishment. The ability to make this stuff
all have to go to court over and over again,
is just meant to prevent Trump from implementing the agenda
with the clear election win and the I think decisive
momentum he has politically after let's just be honest, Democrat

(07:35):
misrule and complete and utter failure on a whole range
of issues. So they're going to try to slow everything down.
And I think that on the on the side of
things that we see right now, what they're doing is
just intended to be more of the same. We saw
this in twenty sixteen, So I claim I am hopeful

(07:56):
that there will be some way that the Supreme Court
is able to weigh in here and stop them from
continuing to just use this as the sabotage mechanism of
the Trump administration. But it's frustrating to watch this because
think about this, the federal judges. I keep pointing this
out to people because I think it's so important. People

(08:16):
were held for over a year. Remember the whole thing
about a speedy trial in this country. People were held
for over a years in many cases in solitary who
were US citizens, and some of them were entirely non
violent J six individuals, and the entire legal apparatus, for
the most part, was unwilling to say anything about due
process or presumption of innocence. It was they were insurrectionists.

(08:39):
Now we've got presumably members of Trenda Arragua who are
in the country illegally, who are part of a horrifically
violent and heinous gang, and the Democrats are doing everything
they can to make sure it's as hard as possible
so to get them to leave the country, to kick
them out of the country. And the people are going

(09:00):
to suffer as a result of this stuff because the
longer these gang members or gang members who are here
illegally in general stand in the country, the more murders
and rapes and assaults and armed robberies and all of
that will occur. And they just the Democrats just don't
care because Trump is doing it, so it must be bad.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, And it used to be a very rare occurrence
for a federal district court judge to try to enjoin
nationally an issue because there was a question about whether
they had the ability to do it, and you would
tend to have judges on a federal district court level
who would focus on their particular region. This is a

(09:38):
dispute that is taking place, Oh, I don't know, in
the in the Southern District of New York and so
we're going to focus on exactly what's going on there,
and we're not going to make this action apply one
judge's opinion apply nationwide. Now, there seems to be a
very aggressive posture from the judiciary where they want to

(10:01):
have their ruling apply nationwide. And here's the other thing
that is worth contemplating. This is how these judges think
they're going to get.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Promotions.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
If you're the federal district court judge who stands up
to Donald Trump the next time that there are Democrats
in a position of power controlling the White House, and
it will happen again. They will elevate these judges, and
they will try to get them on the circuit court level,
or maybe you even bump yourself all the way up
to the front of the line to become a Supreme

(10:35):
Court justice. It's not just that they see themselves as
throwing themselves athwart the Trump administration and they want to
stay in these jobs. It's how they see their ability
to elevate themselves. These judges are now the resistance two
point zero Democrat party politics has collapsed, The legacy media

(10:56):
buy and large has collapsed. What is left is is
I think quite clearly the opposition coming from the federal
district court judges and the Supreme Court should step in
buck because at least it takes five typically Supreme Court
justices to agree to have a law enjoining the president
of the United States. Right now we have six hundred

(11:18):
individual judges who believe it's within their authority to stop
the president from doing something.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So we'll continue to watch this closely because it's it's
obviously very important that Trump sees this through and continues
on this. The good news is the I think people
are recognizing that Trump knows what he's doing with the economy,
or more people are seeing this. There are one or
two off weeks in the stock market is utterly meaningless

(11:46):
in the grand scheme of things. The border security situation
is much better than I even anticipated it could be
at this point, with a ninety five percent reduction in
illegal crossings. You know, we are two months into this
clay and there are already substantial wins to point to,
and they are continuing to just keep it all rolling.

(12:08):
So they're absolutely keeping the promises. They're doing what they said.
Trump's doing what he said he would do. Elon and
doze is forcing a necessary conversation not just for less wasteful,
more efficient government, but saving us from financial oblivion as
a nation. I think that's a pretty big deal, and
it's just so interesting for me, I think, to see

(12:29):
how as this plays out, there are more and more ways,
more and more areas you can point here where you
say we are trying to fix things, or our side
is trying to get things done that matter and that
are important, and the Democrats are just petty and spiteful
and completely rudderless other than trying to sabotage Trump.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Really, they exist.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
The Democrat Party exists right now, not for ideas, not
for solutions, but to come up with ways to make
sure that Trump can't get things done, even including things
that any rational person should want to happen. And I
think this is also why the Tesla situation plays the
way that it does play. The people that are so
scared about climate change hate Tesla now, they're just crazy.

(13:13):
They just hate whatever our side is trying to do.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's totally right.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
We'll break that down for you, and more lots of
good stuff coming your way. Want to tell you, though,
something not going well. What Israel is facing right now
on Saturday, has Bull of Phile fired rockets into Matula
in northern Israel. We toured there last December with the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Thankfully, the IDF was
able to intercept those missiles, but on Sunday renewed fighting

(13:40):
with Hamas in the south in Gaza. The IFCJ has
continued to support the people of Israel life saving security essentials.
I saw it all myself. Your gift to this nonprofit
organization today will help save lives by providing bomb shelters,
armored security vehicles, ambulances, firefighting equipment, flackjacket, it's bulletproof vest,

(14:01):
so much more. Your generous donation today will help ensure
the people of Israel are safe and secure in the
days to come. Give a gift to Bless Israel and
her people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's one word,

Speaker 3 (14:30):
You ain't imagining it. The world has gone insane. Reclaim
your sanity with clay and fun. Find them on the
Free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Well, welcome back into Clay and Box.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
So Clay was hanging, you know with the big guy
as one does this past weekend. He was flying around
on Air Force one and have time with the leader
free world. And I think this is the first first
time maybe first time maybe I can think of where
the President of the United States is truly just the

(15:07):
most famous person on the planet. I think Donald Trump
is more famous and recognizable than any other human being.
You know, there are usually some sports stars back in
the day would have been I think Michael Jordan, Ronaldo
the soccer player. If you just pure recognizable mass scene, Yes, who's.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Down near where you are now? Like I mean, yes,
these are.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I think Trump is the most famous person on the
planet as well as being the president, which is pretty
remarkable thing. Karen and I have started watching you know,
I never watched the original Apprentice.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I just never. I didn't watch it. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I guess I was in college. And you go back
and watch it now, and you know, he's quite as showman.
It's pretty fine. Watched it. It was a really good
show the first couple of years, but the But I
mean he carries the show, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's not like American Idol where you can have a
bunch of interchangeable judges.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
He is the show. Like without him, there is no show,
you know. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I mean, it's well produced and everything else obviously was
super successful. But okay, back to uh, I just thought
that's interesting. Now they've got it. I think it's on
Amazon now. But Clay asked Trump, that's why we're thinking
about Trump right now. About the incident where Tim Walls
is saying he thinks he could kick people's asses or whatever.
And this is how he responded. This is cut six.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
You saw Tim Walls.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
I know you talked about Tim Walls saying he could
beat up Trump supporters. You see Kaitlyn Jenner said that
that she that she thought she would be able to
take him. Who would you take in a battle, Kaitlyn Jenner?
Tim Walls? But I also have you know Kane, how
about oh Glynn is an awesome guy. He challenged him.

(16:50):
I put up ten grand for that too, and the challenges.
I don't think Tim Walls has responded to.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
A second. He's like seven feet song. This is the
biggest day. He's an awesome guy.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
He's a great guy too. He's a mayor of a
town and he's all maggot.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
That's Glynn Jacob's mayor of Knoxville. I think we've had
him on the show before, former WWE wrestler and by
the way, that was on Air Force one. So inevitably
there's gonna be audio. We'll play a couple of the
cuts and audio guy or gal is gonna be like,
why isn't the audio bet was not a formal studio.
It's literally sitting on Air Force to sound like you

(17:29):
I was the difference in the vocal is really pronounced
was that with your iPhone was with an iPhone?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's why they wanted to They wanted to have and
I'm going to write about it at OutKick. They wanted
written articles. They didn't want to necessarily. Look, this is
part of the new media initiative, and so Buck, you're
gonna be up at some point, We're going to be up.
They're trying to do a good job, and I think
this is important of reaching out to new audience as

(17:56):
opposed to consistently giving the associated press access or giving
access to frankly, media outlets that don't actually produce very
substantial audiences anymore. They saw in the election that reaching
out to new audiences was actually far more effective, frankly
than sitting down sometimes with CBS or NBC or ABC,

(18:19):
who you know is going to be unfair. And I
was reading actually that Brett Bayer in his serious newscast
on Fox News is often now beating ABC, NBC, CBS.
And there's still lots of people who watch those old
legacy media outlets, but their audience is collapsing in many ways.
And so this is the way the media under Trump.

(18:41):
Caroline Levitt's team is trying to reach out to new audience.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes, we have been talking for a long time about
how Democrat corporate media has been really running on you know,
the legacy aspect of it and the phe it's running
on pume, it's running on fumes. And now now things
have actually happened. It's like bankruptcy comes slowly, then suddenly

(19:06):
the collapse of the Democrat media has come slowly, then suddenly.
We've seen this coming for a long time, but it
was very clear. I think that if what happened did happen,
which is they all said, Donald Trump's going to go
to prison. Democrats are getting another four years, and they
go all in on that, and then it doesn't happen.

(19:27):
Like I've been saying, Clay, it's not just that they
have lost all credibility with the center and then to
the right of the country. They really left their own
side looking foolish and high and dry. And that's the
thing that you get. You can't make your audience feel
like idiots in the media business and get away with it, right.
And Democrats who watch MSNBC and believe all that nonsense,

(19:47):
they look like fools now. And that's the part of
it that I think is really cause and see ann
same thing causing the business model to collapse.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
And Tim Wall's coming out that cut that we played
for you where he said, oh, I was joking.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
He wasn't joking.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
I mean when you specifically say I've got the stock
app and I root against emon musk company Tesla, that
is a direct attack. And the stock price has gone
up fifty dollars since Tim Walls attacked the company, so
that is not insubstantial if you just bought on the
day that Tim Walls was bragging about how Tesla was

(20:25):
doing a poor job, then you would have done well.
But finally the media did its job there and they
pointed out they said, wait a minute, Minnesota's pension funds,
of which all of the retirees from state government that
are invested in, has millions of shares of Tesla stock,
as you could well predict if you understood basic market

(20:46):
economics at all, because it's one of the biggest companies
in the world, and certainly American companies are going to
be strongly invested in by American pension funds. So Walls
is actually rooting against his own retirees when he's bragging
about the company but not doing well and not wanting
it to succeed.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
This is what we talked about last week, pointing out
that to root against Tesla is really to root against
the American economy, not just because it's an all American company.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Truly.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean everything is made here, designed here, built here,
it's all made here in America. I think the primary
factories in the Austin, Texas area, right, that's the the.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
I think they've got them all over.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
I know their primary headquarters is now in Austin, but
they've got they've done good job.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Their biggest factory, yeah, I mean their biggest factory. I
think it's the one they like, the megafactory they had
built it off. Anyway, point is it's all here in America,
and there are a number of companies that have been
creating so much wealth that it actually props up much
of the stock market, which means you need this stuff
in order to meet pension obligations. So this is why

(21:50):
it's very important people talk about the markets. They need
to understand it's not just you know, because the way
Democrats speak about it isn't really so funny. Most hedge
fund managers vote Democrat, but Democrats speak of hedge fund
managers or Wall Street quote unquote with disdain, even though
it's their team primarily. But beyond that, if you work,
if you're on a city pension plan anywhere in the country,

(22:12):
they're not going to be able to meet the obligations
to you and your family as a cop, as a firefighter,
as a teacher. If you know, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Tesla.
If these companies don't do well, So to root against them, yes,
is to root for a recession essentially, or to you know,
to root in the case of Tesla for one of

(22:35):
the most important American companies to be doing poorly. I
mean it would be like, you know, seventy years ago
rooting against General Motors, like what are you doing? Which
is why Tim Wallas has now walked it back.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
And also I think it just speaks to how many
morons there are at the top of the Democrat Party.
I was reading Axios this morning, which I like to do.
I get their free am distillation of what the news
is out there, and they had a lot of Democrats
saying this is the worst the Democrat Party position they've

(23:07):
been in in fifty years. They don't really know what
in the world to do and how to handle the
situation that they are in. There is a full fledged
panic that is quietly building inside of the Democrat Party.
Because there's a great stat out there, buck eighteen year olds,
that is the first time you're voting, and maybe there

(23:29):
are some of you out there listening to this on podcast.
Eighteen year olds, I'd love to hear from you, the
young first time voters. They have broken more conservative than
seventy five year old voters. Let me repeat that, sorry,
eighteen year old boys. Eighteen year old boys voted more
conservative in this election, as the data is continuing to

(23:51):
come out, than seventy five year old men did. They've
never seen anything like this historically, and I think there
is a panic setting. And I talked about this buck
because my fifteen year old, and it's still kind of
crazy to me that I'm going to have two voters
that are my kids in the twenty twenty eight election.

(24:12):
My fifteen year old said, and he's right, based on
everything I see around him. He said, Dad, for when
the first time I can vote, I can't wait to
vote Republican in twenty twenty eight. And my seventeen year
old said the same thing. They haven't been able to
vote yet, and all of their friends this next like
five to six years. I think you have to call

(24:33):
it kind of the COVID generation. Young men, young boys
now they are voting. I mean, isn't that a crazy
stat I think a lot of you out there who
are in this age range, like you're beaming if you're
listening to us. It's not getting talked about a lot,
but it's starting to circulate. Eighteen year old boys voted
more conservatively than seventy five year old men. That is

(24:56):
what never happened. I don't think in the history of
the United States to elections, certainly not anybody's lives right now.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I think that I think that COVID played played a
large role in their formative years.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
They're thinking the same way.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
You know, nine to eleven played a huge role in
people that are that are play your age, my age,
I know, in all of our lives, but yes, in
terms of life path, A lot of us, how many
of you listening right now joined the military because of
nine to eleven and your sense of patriotism and that
we have enemies, and nine to eleven was formative, particularly
formative for people who were military age men and women. Okay,

(25:33):
that's that's just what we saw the nine to eleven generation.
I think there's also now a COVID generation. It's very different,
but I think it has a similar degree of impact
on psychology and sense of the way we interact with
our government and whether we are citizens or subjects. Because
they were lied to about all this stuff. I mean,

(25:53):
the New York Times is now coming out and saying
the COVID lab league came from the Wuhan thing of
Wuhan Institute of Virology. Probably another five years late on
this one. But the point is they were lied to,
their lives were disrupted, and they were their interests and
needs were cast aside for hysterical, low testosterone democrat men

(26:16):
and who were older. And they realized this and they're
not forgiving it, and they shouldn't. And also the anti
masculinity stuff that they get subjected to is completely beyond
the pale. They've seen that it's crazier with them than
it has ever been before You and I grew up.
And this is what I'm writing about in the new
book that I'm working on. You and I grew up

(26:38):
buck roughly in an arrow when this girl power, girl
boss thing rose, But it wasn't when in the nineteen
eighties and the nineteen nineties, Like I wasn't and you
weren't constantly steeped in the idea that.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Boys are awful.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Every little kid growing up today who is eleven, twelve,
thirteen years old and a little bit older and a
little bit younger if they're a boy. And a lot
of you out there are boy moms, and you experience
this too, and you look around and you're you don't
have to tear boys down to give girls equal opportunity,

(27:12):
and I think we moved from hey, girls can do
anything and boys can do anything and that's something to
celebrate to boys are a problem and we have to
tear down boys to elevate girls.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I completely agree with that, but I would also add
girls actually can't do anything. Girls can't girls can't have
a child in their sixties, can't do it. You know,
that's actually reality.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
You can't. Biology exist, Yes, biology exists.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
A woman is not going to pass Navy seal training
an actual biological female Like that's not going to happen,
even though they were hoping that it would, you know all.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
You know, so yeah, women can everything going to dominate
the NBA right right, That is not going to happen.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
But you know, this is why I think anybody, this
is why the gender thing has mattered so much, because
to the gender, to the generation that has come up
with the most radicalized gender ideology being imposed on them,
they realize these people are nuts. Yeah, they're actually deranged.
This is a dranged philosophy. It is not based in reality.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
And whether you're you.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Know, thirteen or thirty, you should be able to see that.
And I think that a lot of teenagers now who
are just able to vote are saying, yeah, no, I
know what's going on here.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
I think also a lot of women are rejecting the
idea that men should be more feminine. I think a
lot of you out there don't like that. You know,
we created this world where women should be more masculine
and men should be more feminine. And I think, in particular,
a lot of women out there like, I don't want
to date a feminist first of all, lots of men. Why, Like,

(28:47):
if you're a woman and you sit down across the
table from the guy and he says like, I'm a
huge feminist, you should just stand up and leave because
I think he's lying to you. And male feminists are
I think, probably the least trustworthy people on the planet.
Because my theory on this, and Bucky, you've heard me
say this before, is the male feminist is playing the
male feminist card because he has nothing else. He's actually
lying and he thinks you want to hear it, but

(29:08):
he doesn't actually mean it.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Just trying to sleep with women with women through a swindle,
which is pretending that he cares about this stuff. Never
trust anyone who self describes as a male feminist.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Every guy knows that, especially like the first date. What
are you into? I'm really into feminism? What?

Speaker 4 (29:23):
No, get up and leave. Trust me, you do not
want any more time with that guy. We'll take some
calls on this and we'll continue to break down everything
that happened over the weekend. In the meantime, I just
had producer Greg tally things for where it's on the end.

The Team forty seven podcast trump highlights from the week
some days at.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Noon Eastern in the clan Bug podcast feed.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
your podcasts.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Buck, I've got some answers to questions if you've ever
wondered about what flying on Air Force one is, like,
I got a chance to do it three different flights.
As soon as we finished the show on Friday, I
hopped well. I ducked out a little bit early so
I could make sure and make the flight. Thanks for
holding down shop there to close out Friday's edition.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
And I will.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Say a bunch of different things. One, no requirement that
you buckle your seat belt or be seated on air Force.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
One. When the President is ready to go, they just go.
Food is good. I was impressed.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
No weights on the tarmac in case you've ever gotten stuck.
Sometimes in the flow of traffic, President and it gets precedent.
So whether wherever you are, it's nice you're in the air.
Probably five minutes after you have him sit down in
his chair, there's pictures up. I was able to talk
to him, and I thought the most newsworthy thing that

(32:15):
he said, buck and there have been a lot of
different things that have kind of circled around, but I
thought you would find this interesting as well, because I
certainly did. I asked him about Jeff Bezos in the
Washington Post, because Jeff Bezos was at the inauguration the
Washington Post when he got elected the first time rights
democracy dies in darkness at the top of the newspaper.

(32:39):
But then they announced that they're not going to be endorsing.
It seems to me clear that Bezos has finally gotten
fed up with the coverage from the Washington Post, and
I asked Trump about it, and here is what he said.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Cut nine. Jeff Bezos was at your inauguration.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
It seems like he's trying to make the Washington Post
more fair.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think it's great.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Has he talked to you about the fact that he
thinks because they let Fighten get away with everything when
he was in office, they started to push him.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
They came after you like crazy, had length that dog
him about it.

Speaker 6 (33:14):
He's a good guy.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I didn't really know him in the first time.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
Yeah, I mean, it's such a difference between now in
the first Yeah, Zuckerber and Bezos and Jensen.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
I know you helped al kick had a story a
couple of interviews that we did that were being edited
that they worked out and they figured out on Facebook
through Zuckerberg. What has Bezos told you about trying to
be more fair in his coverage?

Speaker 6 (33:37):
Just that, yes, is really trying to be more fair.
They actually did a couple of bad articles that Henry said,
this is crazy, Yeah, I lose my fortune just thing
and they and the you know, they're out of control.
These people are crazy. They're they're crazy people. They're out
of control. And uh, and he's actually a very good guy.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
I got to know him this second time. He was up.
If you look at the look at the people that
were on amazing age.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
There was a loose who of the world that was
totally against me the first time.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
So much different presidency. I much more support.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
Okay, I think that is really kind of important here
buck crazy people. Jeff Bezos has told Trump that the
Washington Post is being run by crazy people. This is
according to Trump, and I think it has to be
true if you just look at the actions that Jeff

(34:31):
Bezos has undertaken to suddenly try and corral the crazy
town of the Washington Post.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
And I think it's reflective.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
At the end he talked about the cultural change, it's
seismically different.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Right.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
We're not even seeing the Democrats or the legacy media
able to really line up and do anything to stop Trump.
And in fact, some of the people that were the
biggest roadblocks, like the Washington Post and Jeff Bezos, are
now kind of getting on board the Trump train.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well where were they going to go after what they
had been promising their their side, their audience for years.
I mean, what what do you say at this point?
You have to remember, we would we would pop in
and out, we would read the occasional I know you're
you're a New York Times subscriber. I wasn't New York
Times subscriber. I'm trying to get away from it. But

(35:23):
we're not as steeped in all of the editorials and
all of the coverage that those papers were doing of
Trump the whole time, because we have other things we
have to read. And also at some point, there's only
so much propaganda that you can stomach. But imagine that
you had been steady. You have been fed this steady
diet of Trump is going to get crushed in these trials.
Trump is going to end up, you know, sentenced for

(35:46):
these these criminal wrongdoings. Uh. Trump maybe is going to
be financially ruined. That was another thing they thought they
would accomplish in New York with that absurd Letitia James, uh,
you know, corporate fraud trial, and and all of that
came to nothing. In fact, it elevated I think Trump
to make sure that he was going to win the
presidency dramatically because people saw what was going on. So

(36:10):
they're they're in total rebuild mode. I mean, this is
the the time when the Democrat Party is trying different
things to come up with some way to justify its
existence to the people who have been supporting it for
this long, which is why you have the the Bernie
and aoc traveling show going on right now. You know,

(36:31):
they're going around together and trying to raise money and
all of this stuff. But I think that Trump part.
You know, Clay, you said this, and I believe this
is important. There's something from your interaction with him this time.
There's a poise and a calm and almost a sense
of relaxation that Trump has. He has defeated the enemy.

(36:52):
I mean, you know, if you think of the media
as the primary enemy.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
He won.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
There's no way that that ever changes now. He goes
out a winner, no matter what. And part of his
legacy will be the destruction of the media manipulation machine
that the Democrats had relied on for our entire adult
lives until Trump came along, for our entire lives, not
just adult lives.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
I also, I've seen Trump say this recently, Buck, I
hadn't heard it before. Cut fourteen here he talked about
prevailing to what you're saying against the lawfair against him.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
But He said that his initial read when the when
the raid at mar.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
A Lago happened was that it was going to be
really bad for his presidential campaign.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
And then he decided, well, I've got to just roll
with it. Listen to cut fourteen.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Here were they a jack or Bey attacked Mark? Yes,
they invaded it. I said, oh boy, this is brutal
for my election. You thought initially was going to be bad.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
You have.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
So the one thing I did is I talked to
the press. I had discomference here whenever anything like that happened.
He's with crooked people. One crooked when they did something
like that, or the indictment, but the not one indictment.
It's four or five of right, okay, And that led
to eighty or ninety or because everyone had you know,

(38:14):
it's a totally rig deal. I would go out that
night and I'd have a news conference. I talk to
the people, and the people realize it was a scam.
It turned out to be a scam. Look with what happened,
and they're all out. Yeah, I hear I said in
Air Force one with you talking like one of those.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Things, it is kind of remarkable where we are. One
more thing I asked him Buck whether he thought Kamala
should run for governor and if he had any advice
he would give her.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Uh. Here was Trump on Kamala's future. Cut to.

Speaker 5 (38:50):
Kamala is talking about running for governor? Would you give
her any advice as a politician? Do you think she
should run? Do you think she's gonna do it? What
do you think her future?

Speaker 6 (39:00):
I'd let her run, which she's she's as far as
I don't want to be giving people advice politically, But
one thing she's going to do, she's got to start
doing interviews.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Yeah. I mean, you can't get away with both of them.
He uh, we doing the COVID things.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
He did no interviews, and he got away with it
because of COVID, because you know you're able to do
things that you could do. It was a great election,
this last one, and I do think this. I think
it's much more historic the way it happened than if
I had gone.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
And typically don't you think in some way it's better
because you have the Senate in the House now in
twenty four, you're able to be more effective than you
would have been in twenty Probably.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
It's better because it shows how bad they were.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, there was so.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Bad and it shows that. And when you see you
know you're comparing, you're comparing it to the worst president
to the history.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Of our country. And I think in that way it's
better there.

Speaker 6 (39:54):
What they were doing didn't work, And if I would
have done it more traditionally, you know, we wouldn't have
known that.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Okay, So those cuts you can listen up on up
on Clay and Buck. But I do think the biggest
takeaway is he is just reveling in it, Buck, in
a way. To your point, he beat his enemies. I
got to tell you when we walked out at the
NCAA Wrestling Championships, which I don't remember anybody ever really

(40:23):
talking about that much. I mean, he brought the attention
with him, the entire place standing ovation, chanting USA. It's
now happened at the super Bowl, It's now happened at
the Daytona five hundred, it it's now happened at the
wrestling Championships. Men who are overwhelmingly sports fans. I know
a lot of you are women sports fans as well,

(40:44):
but men are behind Trump at a level that I
haven't seen in a very very long time. Buck, I
haven't seen anything like this the reception. Yes, well, I
can remember in previous Republican administrations, including Trump's first, but
going back to the Bush years, it was a state
of siege day one right away, and they had a
lot more artillery than we did. They had a lot

(41:06):
more voices who would come in and tell you all
these different reasons why this new this new Republican or
this this new new administration is terrible for X, Y
and Z. And you know they're in the case of Bush,
you know, he's dumb, and Cheney's corrupt, and all these
things that they would say and put aside, whatever you
think of the specific criticisms. They were able to turn

(41:27):
the mood of the country sour intentionally as a manipulation
as a Republican was in charge. This is the first
time I've ever seen it where they just can't do it.
They they know they can't do it. They no longer
have the power, They no longer have the ability to
create some story out of thin air that that makes
everyone think that there's some doom hanging over the country

(41:50):
because of the Republican that is in office right now.
As people have been saying, you know, the vibes, the
vibes are strong right now in Trump world.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Things are looking good.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
There's a lot of challenges ahead, and we're very aware
of that. There's a lot of things that still need
to be We're just in the opening inning. I mean,
there's a lot that needs to be done. But this
is I've never seen anything like this before. It's like
the Democrat media apparatus has been defanged. Still there, but
it just doesn't have the same ability that it used to.

(42:21):
And I think Trump Trump not only recognizes that Clay
Trump is the reason for that they threw. They exhausted themselves,
like a boxer who's thrown so many punches and mysts
that eventually just falls to the canvas. They exhausted themselves
trying to destroy Trump, and now it's over for them.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
I thought it was interesting when he said that he
thought the initial raid, and I think he called it,
you know, the attack on mar A Lago, was going
to be really successful for them, because I think you
and I are initial because I remember when this happened.
You and I's initial take was, we know this is
going to be good for Trump with the Republicans because
people are going to rally around him. I think as

(42:59):
soon as they rated mar A Lago, effectively the Republican
nomination was over. I think what he did a masterful
job of was spinning it such that the middle of
the road voter came to come down on his side
as opposed to the Biden team side. And I think
that's where using the media and talking every day was

(43:20):
ultimately to his benefit in a way.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
That I don't think it was clear it would be right.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Democrats basically thought this will make him unelectable. They ended
up being wrong and actually I think got him elected
and blew up in their faces. Yeah, well, they believe
that all these things that they would do would make
him unelectable. Think about it's the biggest political own goal
in history. I've never seen anything like this. No one's

(43:47):
ever seen anything like this.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
To have used all the powers of the abused powers,
of the prosecutorial arm of the government, of the media apparatus,
of the Democrat power in Hollywood and the culture to
try to destroy someone and actually make them even more
unstoppable is something that nobody could have anticipated. So it

(44:12):
is the most remarkable political comeback in the history of
I think the history of the country. I mean, you
have to go back to like George Washington holding together
the army at Valley Forge for something that really is
so defying the odds. It's pretty remarkable. And I think
that Trump now is realizing that he's able to pursue
the agenda in a way where no matter what the

(44:35):
Left says or does, at this point, he won, and
now it's just what can he do for the country.
It really is about what's best for the country now
and not how do I keep the wolves at bay
so I can do the best for the country. There's
still some of that, I get it, but totally different
the White.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
House in the first term.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
I remember I friends were friends with a lot of
people that were at Trump's circle in that White House,
and they were under siege the whole time, and it
was a very different world. People were worried they were
going to get sent to prison. People were worried that,
you know, maybe Trump was going to get impeached or
he wasn't peached, but you know, before it happened, they
were concerned what does that mean? And it has just

(45:17):
been an astonishingly positive thing for the country. I think
lay that the law Fair failed. If law Fair had worked,
I don't really know if we have I don't really
know if we're operating in a free country anymore with
real elections. I really think that that's a big, a
big win for all of us.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
It would have set the precedent. You always try to
put your chief political adversary in prison for the rest
of his life or her life if you're in a
position of power, which is what happens in Banana republics
and how they end up collapsing, because if it works,
that's what happens. You know, Purchasing gold continues to be

Go check that out. And I sit here and I
think that the cultural shift. We've been talking a lot

(47:52):
about the political shift, and the numbers speak to that
with tremendous clarity. There's never been a worse time for
the Democrat Party in our lifetime, and Republicans are probably
in the strongest position they've ever been in our lifetime.
Thank you Trump, Trump's team, the people around him, the
Republicans who have rallied towards sanity, those of us who

(48:13):
stood strong during COVID. I mean, you know, there are
a lot of hands, all of you supporting this show
and supporting the show for thirty plus years before that
by being a part of the army of patriots that
Rush Limbaugh created and brought together. So you know, there's
a lot that's gone into this, but we are at
a peak moment right now, and we are even seeing

(48:35):
it reflected, not just in the fortunes of the Republican
Party and of the downfall of what used to be
called by many the mainstream media. I agree with those
who say we shouldn't call them that, why are they
mainstream the democrat corporate media, but also in the cultural
side of things, there are changes happening. We will not

(48:55):
get into White Lotus right now because I don't think
that many of you watch it, and I don't want
to argue with Clay about whether it's worth continuing to
watch White Lotus. After the most recent episode, I was
pretty horrified. I'm just gonna say, I'm I looked at Carrie,
I'm like, I don't think I can do this anymore.
It is clear that I have a darker sensibility when
it comes to television, like I can put up with
more than you or producer Ali can. When it comes

(49:19):
to to down the rabbit hole crazy.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
I do not do well with.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
You know, maybe my mind is more like a delicate
flower these days when it comes to my content at entertainment.
I don't like things that are too violent. I don't
like things that are too body.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Perhaps is that the right word. I got him to
choke on his crocket. I got him to choke on
his Crockett coffee. Look at that. That was awesome.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Almost spin my crocket coffee out every week? Though, body,
were you born in nineteen twenty four?

Speaker 1 (49:48):
You know, I'm just saying sometimes, you know, some of
us are.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
More comfortable, and sometimes they bus there's too many busts
and glasses in the television shows of late that you're watching. Yeah,
a bunch of a bunch of ladies out there being
a little too little, too frisky on the television for
my liking.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
So you know, it's little.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Too I will say this my wife has had to
deal with for the past twenty years. Every time there's
an HBO show, you know, they give a content warning
before the show and it'll say like there's nudity, and
I'll be.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Like yes, because it used to be.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
I literally pumped my fists like yes, this is gonna
be a good show.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
My wife's had to deal with this for.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Twenty years of late All of the nudity I see
in my shows is male.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
I don't know when they flip. When they it's not
anywhere near as enjoyable. I will say, used to be,
almost all nudity was female. The lastly, have you noticed this,
Like the last three or four years in quote unquote
prestige television, it's always naked guys now, and a lot
of it is not very enjoyable. So I'm not In
the first fifteen years of HBO shows, it was like, Okay,

(50:56):
probably gonna be some good look at naked girls in
this show. I'm excited even more. Now a lot more
nude guys not as enjoyable for me. So let's talk
snow White. Snow White was at one point the first,
I believe, the first full length animated feature released in
theaters back in nineteen thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Am I if I get any of these wrong, team,
let me know. It was wildly popular. And the you know,
the Disney so much of I think like the the
Disney really had two things going for it for a
long time.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
People love the parks.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Fine, another, parks have become very expensive now, but people
love the parks and they love the animated those those
animated features. I mean, I grew up and we've all
seen I think ninety what do you think ninety five
percent of our listeners have seen the original snow White,
the original cartoon, I would be if you have, you
would be I don't know how you wouldn't have seen it, right,
I mean? And if you didn't see it when you

(51:55):
were a kid, you have kids, you've seen it, right,
So one, and it's really an iconic It's an iconic
animated film. And I think Disney had a number of
these over the years, you know, Sleeping Beauty. I actually
really liked some of you are gonna laugh, but I
really liked the Robin Hood with Robinhood as a Fox.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Do you know what I'm talking about as a cartoon?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Oh? I love that growing up Peter Pan favorite along
with Robin. Great animation, great music, great stories. This is
stuff that everyone really celebrates. This was a really amazing
part of American culture.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Let me hit you with a detail that will bring
home how profitable Snow White was.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
And you may have.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
Had I was reading because I wanted to do my
research on this too. Snow White, adjusted for inflation dollars,
basically made the Walt Disney Company, Disney, Walt Disney mortgaged
his own home to be able to finish producing Snow
White because it was so expensive at that point in
time to make an animated film. It made four billion dollars. Okay,

(53:03):
let me repeat that because with a B four billion
dollars in modern American money. So this thing was so
outrageously popular that it basically funded Disneyland eventually Disney World.
This was what put Disney on the map as a
global corporation that was capable of churning out incredible content.

(53:28):
This was what they created, the animation studios, everything. So
it is not only beloved buck, it is one of
the greatest, most successful commercial art products in the history
of the United States.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Yeah, that puts it into context very well. And I
remember I saw with my parents in the theaters Lion King, Oh, Aladdin,
Beauty and the Beast. The Beasts a great movie. It's
a great he animated. It was actually nominated for Best Picture,
not Best Animated Feature, Best Movie the year that it
came out. The music is excellent. Look, I know some

(54:02):
people cartoons aren't their thing, but I think cartoons out.
I actually think cartoons can be really impressive and amazing
if they're done well. I like the old cartoons, even
with bugs bunnies, but put bugs bunny. Put that aside, Clay,
this new Disney. If you and I sat here scripting
out a way to ruin Disney, to do a like

(54:22):
a farce, or as send up if you will, of wokeness,
I don't know if we could have done better than this.
They have changed. There's a whole listing of all these
things they've changed. They have changed the.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
Dwarfs and this was okay. I think this is my
favorite part of this.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
First of all, it made forty million dollars opening weekend,
which is an absolute abject disaster. As we've talked about here,
all the movies money comes in the first month, and
a lot of it needs to come in the first
weekend for momentum. Remember, people haven't seen it. Now people
have seen it, they say it stinks, they say it's trash.
So next week it's going to be worse, and the
weekend after that's gonna be worse. This is gonna cost

(54:57):
Disney hundreds of millions of dollars. Ye one all said
hundreds of millions of dollars of pure loss on this.
But the fun What is your favorite thing about the
change they made that they wouldn't use actual dwarf actors
because Peter Dinklic, who had probably the greatest dwarf role
of all time in Game of Throw good job in it,

(55:20):
but I think, you know, a little too little, too
high on his own stuff here, a little too big,
big for his breeches.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Literally he yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
He decided, he decided that it was weird and out
of date to have actual dwarves play dwarves, so they
replaced them with CGI dwarves and dwarf actors out there,
and there are dwarf actors out there.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Are were fure and I totally agree with them.

Speaker 7 (55:47):
Furious about this because this is like the chance of
a lifetime to be in a globally you know, resonating
film as a dwarf actor. It's like they this is
wokeness just eating itself.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
They could have made a movie that was a ninety.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
Years basically later, a nostalgic recreation of the spirit that
imbued the original Snow White, which made the Disney Corporation possible.
But because they have decided that they need to be
woke Disney, they created an awful version of a movie

(56:27):
that many people would have loved of all races and
all backgrounds, And I think this is going to be
seen I think you said it well at the end
of the last hour. I think this is going to
be seen as a cultural signpost of what woke can
do to Great Americana, and Disney has to a large
extent destroyed Star Wars by trying to woke afy it as. Look,

(56:53):
I don't begrudge any story that is like Lost. Lost
was a great televis vision show back in the day.
It also happened to have a diverse set of characters,
but it fit the story.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Right.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
It's an airplane that crashes on an island. It would
make sense that the airplane would be filled with a
cross section.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Of American life, right, Yeah, the airplane wasn't coming from Finland. Like, yes,
there'd be lots of different kinds of people on the plane.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
So the idea that Snow White needs to be replaced
with a Latina actress, or that Captain America needs to
be replaced with a black actor, or that you need
to somehow decide that you are going to change the
historic relevancy of a show because it doesn't meet modern
day standards of diversity I think is going up in smoke.

(57:44):
And the example I'll give of this that I think
is actually the worst two of them Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
All right, I I've.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Made it clear that I'm not a huge fan of musicals. Okay,
but I don't like the idea of, hey, we're going
to make American history oracle figures different races, because races
are so inconsequential. Okay, When is the country and Western
version of the Obama administration going to occur with Blake
Shelton playing Barack Obama?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Right?

Speaker 3 (58:13):
When?

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Why is it that in Hamilton the one bad guy
is the only whit white guy the king of Why
can't the King of England be black?

Speaker 1 (58:22):
What am I missing? And this? What's the messaging there? Everybody?

Speaker 2 (58:27):
You know, I do look at these things, well, what's
the message they're telling people with this?

Speaker 4 (58:31):
And then what is the pride and prejudice? Or what's
the Bridgerton I think is the show that's on Netflix
and it's about seventeenth and eighteenth century England, except there
are all these different races that.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Are playing the British actors. I'm sorry, I can't.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
I can't even pay attention to that show because I'm like, well,
it's set in seventeen eighties England. These are white people, right, Like,
in the same way, if you give me a story
about Nigeria in sixteen forty and there's a bunch of
white people playing black people, I be like, I don't
I can't really get into this story. It's so flagrantly

(59:08):
historically inaccurate.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
You know. I was trying to watch on that I
love historically. My brothers make fun of me. They always say,
if there's like beard, swords and meat drinking, I'll like it,
you know, which is pretty much true. Like I like
anything that's you know, historical piece European history. I love Gladiator,
I love Brave Heart. I love those kinds of things.
And I tried to watch on Netflix this show, the

(59:31):
Viking Show, and there's a yarl, which is like an
earl or a prince or whatever in Vikings. In the
I guess it was the ninth you know, ninth century,
the eight hundreds.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
It's a black woman.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Who's the who's cast as the head of this vibe,
and it's supposed to be like a historic these are
real people's names.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Is she supposed to be black? Or are you not
supposed to notice that she's black. I think I only
watch the first episode.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
I think you're just not supposed to notice, Like it's
just oh, like, we've made her a black female, and
you made him it was actually a guy obviously who
was the y'arel. So you make it a female, and
you make it a black female because you think Clay
people are so sick of this to the point you're
making Game of Thrones another show very diverse. Nobody has
a problem with diverse characters in whether it's fiction or

(01:00:14):
even fantasy genre.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
But when you're setting something in a historical context, you know,
you would think that there are some basic authenticity components
of it that you would likely if you're setting a
show in Iceland in you know, the year one thousand,
you're not going to have a lot of Latinos. You're
just not going to have them. Like it's not a
knock on Latinos. They liked being warm. They were not

(01:00:37):
in Iceland.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
If we watched a story about the Civil War, my
favorite part in history, and there was a character playing
Frederick Douglas and it was a white woman, I would
be like, you know, this has taking me a little
outside of the story. Because Frederick Douglas was a black guy,
right Like, some level of historical accuracy for historic fact
seems necessary to me. And this is an example of

(01:01:00):
what Disney has done. I think they have taken something
that people loved and decided that they needed to make
it more expansive.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
When everybody already loved it right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Well, also they and the way we didn't even get
into all the different ways. So first, the Dwarves are CGI,
which is I also think CGI in general ruins movies.
I think it should be used very sparingly. To me,
it's like drops on a radio show, Like you can
use them here and there, but it can't be you know,
like like if.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
You have you know, you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
If you have a radio show that's all just sound
effects all the time, you start to be like that
you know, that Kramer guy on the with the uh uh,
you know the Finance show. Whatever's like hong konk hon konk.
I mean, it's just too much. You gotta be very
sparing with your CGI. So that's what CGI dwarfs horrible idea.
They changed the music. They've changed the musical numbers from
the basically the most successful on screen musical of all

(01:01:50):
time close to it maybe maybe like the sound of
Music or you know, Gone with the Wind, But they
changed the music, which is which is madness. And I
must say this, this woman is playing the Disney princess.
She just doesn't look like it. She's just not that pretty.
She doesn't look like a Disney princess. I don't know,
you know, am I am I alone in this one?

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
I think if they had put Sidney Sweeney in as
snow White, it would have made a billion dollars. Yes,
I mean, just give me a really pretty white chick
and let her actually play the role of snow White.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
I mean, the crazy thing to be. It was a
really pretty a really pretty chick.

Speaker 6 (01:02:22):
Like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
I just don't think this woman is Disney princess material.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
How about the fact stating Gal Gadot is way better
looking and way more looks like snow White, but she's
the evil princess.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Yes, yes, that's a weird.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Decision too, right, she's Disney princess kind of material.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
And and you you know, if you're just she was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Wondering, Okay, you're allowed to want pretty people to play
the Disney Princess or the Queen or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
So let's take some.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Let's take some, let's take some snow white calls here.
I'm sure people will be fired up about.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
This, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
In the meantime, I want to tell you guys all
about our friends at Hillsdale. Maybe they need to start
doing some historic pop culture classes. Because my thing, buck is,
if everybody already loves something, maybe do something similar to
that again, right, Like, hey, it's pretty successful. We built
the most successful animated film of all time. Maybe people

(01:03:18):
are just actually very fond of what already has happened.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
But what Hillsdale will do is they'll take you into
the history of World War One, World War.

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):

and let you get hooked up with better learning without
the pressure of grades or a set schedule on your
time learning for learning's sake. I love doctor Larry Arne
