0:22You just watch my stuff.
0:23Wait, wait, where are you going?
0:24To use my everyday rewards points on free PetStock.
0:26But we're still on air.
0:27I'm just saying, I'm off to PetStock.
0:29You coming? Now, I've got to say the legal bit.
0:32Exclusions and T's and C's apply.
0:34Welcome back in, everybody. Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now.
0:37Our friend, Bill O 'Reilly, Uncle Bill.
0:41He is with us now.
0:42He is in the mix.
0:44BillOReilly .com, where you want to go, a one -stop shop for all things Bill.
0:49Any of his dozen or so bestsellers, of course.
0:51You should have all those on your bookshelves.
0:54We also have the Bill O 'Reilly analysis there, including the weekly column that he
1:02does. And this week, he's talking about the State of the Union a bit.
1:06Bill, thanks for being here with us.
1:08What are your expectations, your preview, your predictions, all that good stuff for President Trump's
1:14address this evening? Well, it's going to be long.
1:18That's what it's going to be.
1:20So lots of snacks are going to be required to watch it.
1:27And, you know, I think the president understands he has to present a positive outlook
1:33for the country rather than dwell on the negative.
1:37He just got slapped down by the Supreme Court.
1:41I don't think he's going to spend a lot of time on that.
1:43He might mention it in passing.
1:45I don't know how many of the justices are going to be there, if any.
1:50But he'd be wise to give the Republicans some momentum by saying, look, the country's
1:58in good shape. Very specifically, here's what's going to happen in the next 12 months.
2:03And keep it as positive as possible.
2:10Bill, the president is bringing in the U .S.
2:13men's hockey team. I know you are a sports fan.
2:17I imagine you probably watched this game.
2:20Can you believe that the left wing in this country has decided that they're going
2:24to try to find reasons to be upset about the U .S.
2:28men's team winning, President Trump being called, Kash Patel being involved, and now they're going
2:32to the State of the Union?
2:33And given how popular this team is and how unifying sports typically is, are you
2:40surprised by this being a cultural battle they have decided to fight?
2:45Not surprised. The radical left is a movement that does not respect the United States
2:55of America. That is clear.
2:58And I can prove it by saying that there are two types of people who
3:05are disenchanted with their country.
3:09Dissenters who go out and demonstrate against certain policies, and that's fine.
3:15Okay? And then destroyers. People who want to just knock out everything.
3:21They believe that America is a bad country, not knowable at all, and everything has
3:28to change. And that's what drives this kind of craziness.
3:32But there's a lot of interesting things about the story itself.
3:37So the far left doesn't want anybody championing anything while Donald Trump is in office.
3:44That's number one. It's where you start.
3:46So nothing good can happen in this country while President Trump is the leader.
3:53Nothing. Everything is bad, 100%.
3:58So it's a stretch to find something bad about a gold medal for the men's
4:02hockey team. It's a stretch.
4:05But the Trump administration gave the radical left a little opening in two ways.
4:10The president made a joke in the aftermath by saying to the men's hockey team,
4:16hey, you guys are invited to the State of the Union, and I guess I
4:20have to invite the women or I'll get impeached.
4:22That was obviously a joke.
4:25Okay? Well, that gave the radicals.
4:28They're always denigrating women. Oh, look at that.
4:32And then Kash Patel, the FBI director, was celebrating in the locker room after the
4:38game with the players. And that gave the left, well, Kash Patel, how come he's
4:45not back dealing with the Mexican cartels?
4:47Well, the answer is, if you knew anything, you moron, that the FBI provided expertise
4:54to Italian authorities in the security realm.
4:59And that's why the FBI was there and Kash Patel was there, because they were
5:04actively helping the Italians stave off any kind of terror attack.
5:11But the left doesn't, A, know that, because they're that big on research, and B,
5:17they don't care. Well, Kash Patel is attached to Trump, so it's got to be
5:22evil. But the third story going on...
5:24largely unreported, is what the deuce is the women's hockey team doing.
5:30Now, this bothered me. So they put out a statement saying, well, the women's hockey
5:35team isn't going to participate in the State of the Union, even though we were
5:40invited to do so. The statement wasn't bellicose.
5:44It wasn't rude. It was a statement like, oh, we're flattered, but we can't.
5:50But you can. Again, not every woman's player, some of them have commitments, but the
5:56team itself doesn't have anything, nothing as a team.
6:00So what the common sense statement would have been was, we're going to let our
6:07ladies decide whether they want to go or not.
6:10Some will, some won't. And the women's team did not do that.
6:16And it had to know, by issuing a statement saying the women aren't going to
6:20show up, that it would reflect poorly on Trump, which I believe is why they
6:24did it. And this goes back to Megan Rapinoe and the soccer team.
6:29The culture between the men's hockey and the women's hockey is very different.
6:39It's a bad look, Bill, I think, for the women's hockey team.
6:43I know that they've got this, oh, we have, no, when the President of the
6:48United States, after you win a gold medal, says come by the White House, I
6:51think you can get out of whatever else you got going on.
6:54And we all know that.
6:55So to me, it seems pretty obvious.
6:58We've got Bill O 'Reilly with us now, BillOreilly .com for his latest.
7:01I'm wondering what you make of this latest Gavin Newsom moment, Bill.
7:08We talked about it a bit on the show yesterday.
7:10He's speaking to this audience.
7:12He says, you know, it's a predominantly black audience in Georgia.
7:16He says, I'm like you, and I got a very low SAT, and people are
7:19making a thing of this.
7:21I don't think this is really going to hit Gavin Newsom.
7:24I don't think anyone's going to remember it in a few weeks, to be honest
7:26with you. I think this is just sort of baked in that Newsom's going to
7:29say things that are pandering and look dumb.
7:32But is Newsom the guy?
7:33Do you think there's really a fight ahead on this one, or is it just
7:36already coalescing? Well, number one, this statement, and I have a message of the day
7:42on BillOreilly .com, and I'm going to talk about it again tonight on the No
7:47Spin News, is not a racist statement.
7:51And for conservatives or Republicans or whatever to say that Newsom's are racist, is A,
7:58not true, and B, diminishes the conservative movement.
8:03You don't want to do what the radical left does, okay?
8:09And the radical left jumps on the racist thing.
8:11I'm sure you guys have been accused of being racist.
8:13I have all day long.
8:15Racist, racist, racist. It doesn't have any meaning anymore.
8:20That's how overused it is.
8:22What Newsom meant, and it was clear if you read the interview, which I have,
8:28was that I'm a regular guy.
8:31And I'm not something special.
8:33I wasn't very smart in high school, but I made it.
8:38That's what he meant when he said, just like you.
8:41I don't think he was addressing it.
8:43You're just black. So I think he was addressing it to everybody who didn't do
8:46that well in high school.
8:48I didn't do that well in high school, okay?
8:51So to take that and to ram it down Newsom's throat is ridiculous, number one,
8:57and dishonest, number two, because there are plenty of other things that you can do
9:02that are legitimate to challenge Gavin Newsom.
9:06Now, I spent some time with him at the Super Bowl, and I wanted to
9:12take his measure, which I did.
9:14He invited me on his podcast, which I'll do if he carries through, and that'll
9:18be an event, because I know California pretty well, and that state's a disaster.
9:24But to tag him with the racist thing, that's just not right.
9:30But is he the guy?
9:31Bill, the real question is, is he the guy for the Democrats?
9:35Do you feel like it's already...
9:37Or gals. That's the weakest field I've ever seen in my 51 years of journalism
9:44in 2028 for the Democrats.
9:48It's so weak. I'm sitting there and going, Amy Klobuchar is going to be elected
9:54governor of Minnesota. Then she'll pivot and run for president.
9:59So you've got brushers in Kentucky.
10:01Nobody knows who he is.
10:03All right? Shapiro in Pennsylvania, smart guy, but I can't get a handle on him,
10:12and he avoids tough interviews.
10:15And then who else? So Newsom's got name recognition.
10:20He's got huge money behind him, enormous money.
10:24But his record is abysmal in California.
10:28So, you know, whoever's going to run on the Republican side, catching a huge break.
10:36Bill, do you think... Last question for you, and we appreciate the time and enjoy
10:41the State of the Union tonight.
10:42Do you think that Stephen A.
10:46Smith will actually run? My theory is Democrats need somebody who could appeal to black...
10:52voters to try to KO Kamala Harris, who might well do well with black voters,
10:57particularly black women. And Stephen A.
11:00would obviously do very well with black men, not just black men, but I think
11:04he would be a highly media covered black candidate at the outset.
11:10I'm not sure there's any others.
11:12Does he run? How do you assess?
11:14You know him pretty well.
11:16Yeah, last Wednesday on News Nation, we had a long chat about this.
11:22Stephen A., Cuomo, and myself, the three Americans.
11:27Will he run? It's possible.
11:30If you were a betting man, maybe the odds are three to one against.
11:36But Trump opened the door for Stephen A.
11:38And I told him that.
11:40I said, you ought to send Trump a bouquet of flowers.
11:43So at this point in history, whether he runs or not, Stephen A.
11:49is a winner. Because it draws attention to him from the non -sporting community.
11:56He doesn't have to decide for two years at least.
12:01And he can broaden out his brand.
12:04So where's the downside? There isn't any.
12:08Whether he decides to give up his substantial salary depends how rich he is.
12:15I don't know how rich he is.
12:17All I know is I pick up most of the tabs when I go out
12:20with Stephen A. That's all I know.
12:25But Stephen A. is a sincere man.
12:28Not a phony. I have to tutor him.
12:32And he'll admit that. In State of the World, State of the Union, he doesn't
12:38know a lot of history.
12:40And he doesn't know a lot of the nuances that are in play.
12:44But he's eager to learn.
12:49So if he does run, it's a good thing for the country.
12:55Can he go and overcome the radical left financial machine?
13:01That is the question. Because he's not radical left.
13:06And he's criticized them. And he won't get money from them.
13:09And they are running the Democratic Party now.
13:13Every Democrat House member who isn't attending the State of the Union tonight, every single
13:19one of them, who's going to this stupid alternative people State of the Union on
13:25the mall, and it'll be very lonely, by the way.
13:27Nobody's going out there to see that, except the people who are bussed in and
13:31paid by the radical left.
13:33Okay? But every one of them takes huge money from the radical left to run
13:41for re -election. They are in the pocket of the left.
13:46They have to do what they're told.
13:49And if you look at the roster of names, there is not one exception to
13:54what I just said. Outstanding, as always, Bill O 'Reilly.
14:00We appreciate you. And we'll talk to you again soon.
14:02Enjoy the State of the Union.
14:04All right. I got Buck on the Newsman News tomorrow.

15:41Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
15:43We head up to Baltimore, a city that is filled with patriots in the wake
15:48of the U .S. men winning the hockey gold medal.
15:52There was a mega viral moment, a tweet that was shared from Jimmy's famous seafood.
16:01Awesome place. We are joined now by small business administration head, Kelly Loeffler.
16:07I was with her last week.
16:09She is fantastic. And also the owner of Jimmy's famous seafood, John Minidakis.
16:15And let's go ahead and bring both of you in.
16:18For people who don't know, you had.
16:20a mega viral response to the Huffington Post being troubled by the fact that the
16:26U .S. men and the Olympics outcomes.
16:29Where were you? How did this story happen?
16:33So funny enough, I was actually in church for Godparents Sunday.
16:35I probably shouldn't say that.
16:37We were watching the game on my phone, watching the overtime on my phone.
16:41We were actually outside to the foyer.
16:43And once that overtime goal hit me, when Jack brought it home, pure euphoria and
16:48glad. It was a feeling I can't even explain.
16:51I'm sure everybody listening right now felt the same way.
16:55And then the Huffington Post was upset and you hopped in the comments and it
17:01was absolutely spectacular. We're on radio, so be careful here.
17:06But what did the Huffington Post say?
17:08And what was your response that went so mega viral?
17:11Yeah, well, look, just like I referenced, everybody was on cloud nine.
17:15Obviously, you're seeing so many beautiful images.
17:18You're seeing Johnny Hockey's kids on the ice.
17:21Memories are going to carry forever and bring tears to your eyes.
17:24And then sprinkled in right there in the middle, you see the Huffington Post saying,
17:28you know, you shouldn't be cheering for these people.
17:30And that's when I guess we typed out what everybody that read that was probably
17:34thinking. And that was GFY.
17:38GFY, you can figure it out.
17:39Kelly, you're doing amazing work for the Small Business Administration.
17:43I know you wanted to go up and check out Jimmy's.
17:46You guys are there together right now.
17:49This kind of personifies the greatness of small business, doesn't it?
17:53Absolutely, Clay. I landed late last night back from the Olympics cheering Team USA on.
17:58And my first stop back here was at Jimmy's Famous Seafood.
18:01First of all, had a great lunch.
18:03Unbelievable crab cakes have immediately ordered some to be shipped online.
18:08But I will tell you exactly what small business means to America and its authenticity,
18:13its jobs, its innovation, and its opportunity.
18:17I just got to hear the great story of this family and the business that
18:22John and Tony's father built over the last 50 years.
18:27And now they've taken it over.
18:29It's just a beautiful story.
18:30That's what small business is.
18:32This is great, by the way.
18:34You guys will appreciate this.
18:35The U .S. hockey team has just landed at Andrew's Air Force Base.
18:40One of the players walked off carrying an American flag and they are greeting many
18:46different members of the military and law enforcement that have lined up along a gate
18:51to represent them. This is the best of America, right?
18:55American exceptionalism. We went overseas.
18:57Kelly, you were there. You guys saw this and we kicked everybody's ass.
19:02American exceptionalism is back. Just like in 1980, the miracle on ice.
19:07This is about bringing back the celebration of American strength unapologetically.
19:13And, you know, Clay, you've pointed out, like, sports used to be about bringing everyone
19:17together. It needs to be there again.
19:19But, you know, what they're trying to do is distract from the failures of, you
19:24know, kind of this woke era.
19:26And we're never going to apologize for winning.
19:28We're just getting started, actually, as a country.
19:31And really, the best is yet to come.
19:33And I think that's what the president's going to talk about tonight at the State
19:35of the Union, too. Amen.
19:37We've got a heart out here.
19:39Keep up the good work, Kelly.
19:40Enjoy the State of the Union.
19:42And if you are in the Baltimore area, check out Jimmy's famous seafood, John Minidakis.
19:47That was a hell of a tweet.
19:49Congrats, brother. And thanks for being a spectacular American.
19:53We will be back right after this.
19:55Welcome back into Clay Ann Buck.
19:57I love this guy, Quinn Hughes.
19:59I don't even know anything about hockey.
20:01Or I love Jack Hughes, too.
20:03I guess I love the Hughes brothers is really what I'm trying to say.
20:06They have become American icons and in the best possible way, celebrating a huge win,
20:13but just also the feelings of patriotism and that Americans can share in this.
20:19And it's important to have symbols.
20:21It's important to celebrate greatness in our midst of our fellow Americans.
20:27You know, Clay, I always say this to people, and I really, this is a
20:29little digression. I'm weaving, but it's okay.
20:34You really know more about people based upon whether they can be happy for other
20:37people than when they're able to show sympathy for their losses.
20:42I think it's easy to say, oh, I'm so sorry.
20:45Like, you're so down on your luck.
20:47That's, you really learn about somebody when they're willing to say, wow, something great is
20:51happening for you. I'm so happy for you.
20:53That's awesome. And to really mean it, you know, I think it shows a lot
20:57more character. It's actually, you know, rare because there's a lot of schadenfreude out there,
21:02if I pronounce that correctly, where people want to kind of marinate in the failure
21:08of others and also often hide while doing it.
21:12It is a very much a symptom, I think, of a social media age.
21:18I think that is a hundred percent true.
21:20And the point I would make to a building on what you said is find
21:23people in your life who genuinely want you to be successful and invest in those
21:29relationships. There are so many energy vampires out there.
21:33I love this phrase. I heard a college football coach use it once.
21:37And he said, there's, we spend so much time in our lives, no matter who
21:41you are in your culture, trying to deal with people who drag you down and
21:47they use. your energy to fill themselves but they don't give it back and everybody
21:52out there has somebody in their family somebody in their workplace somebody to the extent
21:57that you can avoid getting drawn into that your lives will be infinitely better yeah
22:03i mean i i say to people if you surround yourself with those who celebrate
22:08your wins with you uh you're making good choices but it doesn't you you have
22:14to know that they're really in on it right you have to know that they're
22:16not faking it and that's why you pay close attention you know if somebody if
22:21when you have a great day or a great thing or a big victory there's
22:24oh that's cool i didn't know that was you know as good as you think
22:28it is anything like that then you're you're seeing a side of somebody that tells
22:34you a lot about who they really are i bring it up because libs can't
22:37celebrate the american greatness here of this team because they are angry about america in
22:45general because of trump it is a sad state of affairs they have trump derangement
22:48syndrome they are malcontents but that is where they are on the other side of
22:52the equation you have uh the huge brothers for example and i just this is
22:57a just a great um i just did a great little sound bite i want
23:01to play for everybody uh well actually did you already do 31 clay i got
23:05two great sound bites here so this is the i'm going to start with this
23:09one actually this is the mother of jack and quinn hughes and a development consultant
23:15for u .s women's hockey asked about the call to the men's team um and
23:21well this is a this is a solid these are kind of two different clips
23:25i'll start with 31 here this is uh what the mom of the quinn brother
23:30said about the president's call play 31 like at the end of the day it's
23:34just about the country and the moment that these players both the men and women
23:39can bring so much unity to a group into a country people that cheered on
23:44that don't watch hockey people that have politics on one side or on the other
23:48side and that's all both the men's team and the women's team care about if
23:53you could see what we see from the inside and the men and women sharing
23:57you know dorms dorm rooms and halls and flex floors and the camaraderie and the
24:03synergy and the way the women cheered on the men and the way the men
24:06cheered on the women that's what it's all about and the other things they cannot
24:10control um they care about humanity they care about unity and they care about the
24:15country i think that's an excellent take yes you don't it's a hundred percent the
24:22way that 99 .9 percent of people actually feel and this is why we asked
24:28o'reilly this this is why democrats building their arguments on the hills of these absurdities
24:35we just talked with the jimmy seafood guy and i wanted to share this huffington
24:39post which is now worth under a dollar a share buck buzzfeed it is completely
24:43collapsed it has no audience uh they have both always been trash they just use
24:48smoke and mirrors to convince people for a short moment on the left that they
24:51weren't trash but i was around at the origins of these entities and they've always
24:55been garbage keep going sorry uh huffington post the article that went viral and then
25:00we'll play this other cut of uh of that has gone viral from one of
25:04the sons of the mom that we just played huffington post had an article up
25:09that said if waving the american flag or chanting usa turns you off right now
25:15you're not alone and uh one of our listeners ronnie just shared the latest there
25:21uh with me and it says uh let's see that tweet from them got 1
25:27.1 thousand likes the response from jimmy seafood of and he said he was at
25:34church so he wanted to apologize for sending this from church it's very funny g
25:39fy and you can probably think the expletive in the middle go and well i
25:44can say two of the three go yourself 120 000 likes uh on social media
25:51that is in response to if the american flag makes you uncomfortable and chanting usa
25:56during the olympics does too and then the u .s men just landed at andrews
26:02air force base buck they were swarmed by soldiers there and they immediately went and
26:08took photos with them and democrats and uh sports media which is kind of as
26:15you've learned buck and overlap 100 are outraged by this and i just want you
26:20to listen to what uh jack hughes who scored the winning goal this is the
26:26kind of thing that democrats are outraged by and this is why i think so
26:30many soldiers rushed to him as and his teammates as soon as they landed listen
26:35to this i mean it's just so special and uh i want to thank our
26:39troops for allowing us to play this game thank our troops for allowing us to
26:45play this game and um thank all the support back home but very special to
26:50be a part of this group that's quinn hughes the brother of jack and i
26:56just i really i'm not making this up there are 50 democrats who are going
27:00to skip the state of the union tonight buck uh how are democrats going to
27:04respond when the u .s men's gold medal hockey winning team are introduced are some
27:11of them going to refuse to stand because they're upset about trump's joke i i
27:15I mean, I think probably some Democrats will refuse to stand and cheer a gold
27:19medal winning team because their brains are broken.
27:22This is almost this is almost like like a stand up in and of itself.
27:28You know, someone made a joke about women not being able to take a joke
27:32and these women are not able to take a joke.
27:34Yeah, that's really the joke is really about women not being able to take a
27:38joke and they're not able to take it.
27:39This is where we are now.
27:40You know, this is not a good approach to this, especially because, by the way,
27:45it wasn't. As we pointed out, it was funny under the circuit.
27:49It was a funny moment.
27:50He was just being a guy's guy for a minute.
27:52OK, which, again, Democrats, no understanding of that.
27:55They pretend that there's no such thing as being a guy's guy anymore.
27:58That's why they put out Tim Walls, jazz hands, Broadway choreographer from Minnesota, the least
28:03guy's guy. And oh, coach.
28:06Remember, they're trying to say he was coach walls and turn out he was like
28:08the water boy for a month or something like not even.
28:10A real football coach, the least guy's guy that they could find in the whole
28:15state of Minnesota, practically. I mean, you pull any dude out of a hunting stand
28:19in Minnesota and he'd be more masculine than Tim Walls.
28:22That was the best they could offer the national stage.
28:24Clay, they have completely abandoned this very just commonplace and basic understanding of being a
28:32guy's guy. They don't even know what this means anymore.
28:34They have lost the ability to have normal conversations with half the country.
28:40They really have. And the Tim Walls, the analogy I made is it's like you
28:44ask the lesbians who's the most masculine man we could pick.
28:48Tim Walls is the guy they would pick.
28:50A lesbian's idea of a Midwesterner who will appeal to men.
28:54But one of the things I like to say is J .B .N.
28:59And what does it stand for?
29:01Just be normal. You don't have to reinvent the wheel.
29:06Just be normal. And it's staggering how many Democrats can't just be normal.
29:12They are, particularly the men, very, very strange and very weird.
29:17And, you know, we just talked with Bill O 'Reilly.
29:20One reason why I think Stephen A.
29:22Smith could have success in the Democrat Party is he is a guy who could
29:27talk to dudes. And, you know, that joke, Trump made a joke, for those of
29:32you who didn't hear it, that basically was, hey, I want you to know we're
29:36going to invite you to the White House, State of the Union.
29:37We'll have to invite the women, too, because otherwise I'll get impeached.
29:41Ha ha. And people are offended by that joke.
29:45How many times do guys say something like, hey, like if Buck and I said,
29:51hey, we're going to do something kind of fun, but we've got to get the
29:54wives, too, or else they'll divorce us.
29:56It's a joke. It's not being taken for truth.
30:01And I just, it is funny how really what you can boil things down to
30:09now in our country is, who can you make jokes about and who can take
30:13a joke? Or who can take jokes is really the big one.
30:16Yeah. Who can take. But also who you can make jokes about, because because of
30:18identity politics, Democrats, for instance, were upset with Dave Chappelle making fun of trans people.
30:24Oh, that's because they can't take a joke.
30:26That's right. You're not allowed to do it because, you know, because the assumption is
30:28they can't take the joke.
30:30Right. So this is the although it is interesting.
30:32I will say sometimes the people, to your point, who are saying you can't make
30:36that joke, do it on behalf of people who are like, no, I actually thought
30:40that was funny. That's rare, but that does happen.
30:42Oh, there's a lot of liberal white people who want to tell you what jokes
30:46can be made in the larger context of society about people that are not like
30:51them at all. And I mean, really, this is about language.
30:54I mean, the Latinx thing is one of my favorite.
30:56When they decided that Hispanic people needed to be called Latinx, and then you talk
31:01to Hispanic people. This was a Democrat white lady talking point.
31:05And then you talk to Hispanic people, and they had no idea what Latinx meant.
31:09And they also found it ridiculous.
31:10The idea was you're not going to say Latino and Latina, right?
31:14Because that's gendered language. And gendered language cannot be allowed.
31:19So we'll just refer to everyone as Latinx.
31:22It's like, what? Like, who even comes up with this?
31:25And the people out there who were Hispanic looked around and said, you're not talking
31:32to us. And I think this is what happens when you let left -wingers dictate
31:36the conversational topics. And it's why I think culturally Democrats are broken, and this hockey
31:43win has become so emblematic of that truth.
31:47And trust me, there's not any young men out there watching this and thinking, oh,
31:51I want to be more like the people who are censoring jokes.
31:54Because one of the responses that I'm seeing and that we're seeing online for young
31:58men, their jokes are way more savage.
32:01If you have teenage boys and you look at the jokes that they make, they
32:08are over, like, the tiptoeing up to, oh, it's backlash humor.
32:13It's backlash to being told what you can and can't make jokes about.
32:16They rip stuff that you're like, whoa, okay, I've seen it too.
32:19Well, and look, this happened before in the 90s when we had, remember when we
32:22had the politically correct world, and then you started to have a real pushback aggressively
32:27against it. It was early 90s politically correct.
32:29Late 90s, for a lot of you out there in Gen X and young millennials,
32:34you remember when that era just blew up?
32:36We're living through that area blowing up too.
32:40And my wife just texted me.
32:43uh with an explanation of the joke that she's really important people need to recognize
32:49trump was not actually making fun of the women's hockey team he was making fun
32:53of himself and society for being so easily offended by everything he does that they
32:58try to impeach him for the slightest little thing the slightest slip of the tongue
33:02he was calling to congratulate the men's hockey team recognizing clips going to be shared
33:07and recognizing that he is going to be criticized for anything and they'll impeach him
33:11if he doesn't invite the women but yes and trump is actually mocking the media
33:14for the absurdity of the media's perspective and then they followed him down the route
33:19i was gonna say trump basically said i mean we all know the media can't
33:23take a joke and then they can't take the joke that's what happened yes uh

36:39so uh let's get some calls going here clay we have like brian in bridgeport
36:45ohio let's do it brian hey good day guys um i just wanted to say
36:51i think our country's voting demographics is representative between the women team not going to
36:57the uh state of the union and teams being the conservative side going to it
37:03um i basically see that there's basically 70 percent or 65 percent of the population
37:09suffers from um personality disorder which is a fear -based voting personality type and um
37:17basically in the end you got 70 percent of the 19 percent of the liberal
37:21socialist democrats are women you have about another 20 percent are gay effeminate men and
37:27then the other 10 percent are basically with men that are trying to keep the
37:31peace at home it's cheaper to keep her uh thank you for the call i
37:35will point out in defense of the women's hockey team the men all are very
37:41wealthy comparatively meaning their teams have jets they have the ability to travel easier than
37:49i think a lot of the women do in other words if you made millions
37:53of dollars a year and you had to suddenly buy a ticket or you had
37:58to get to your location in order to do your job it's way easier to
38:03do than if you are a u .s women's hockey player they should have just
38:07said trump send air force one for us you know why you know why He
38:11would have done it. He would have done it because he just did it for
38:14the men. So I also think there is some politics here, unfortunately.
