0:36The Emmy -winning comedy Scrubs is all new.
0:39This is a whole new chapter for me.
0:40No more sad sack. That's what I'm talking about.
0:43I want both of our sacks to be fun.
0:45You two idiots are perfect for each other.
0:47From executive producers of Ted Lasso and Shrinking.
0:49We were all a part of this victory.
0:51Now get those nachos out of the premium warmer.
0:55Nachos! Feels like there's more applause for the nachos than my speech.
0:58The new season of Scrubs.
1:00Wednesdays, 8, 7 central on ABC.
1:02And stream on Hulu. Alright, second hour of Play Enbok kicks off right now.
1:07And we know that Hillary Clinton is testifying right now.
1:12Up on Capitol Hill about Epstein stuff.
1:16And we're going to bring you this as it goes, as it moves forward.
1:21But something strange just happened, Play.
1:24We're just bringing people to breaking news on this.
1:27An advisor to Hillary Clinton said the House Oversight Committee's deposition had to be stopped
1:35because of an unauthorized photo being shared on social media.
1:41Play 33. This just happened.
1:44The hearing just went off the record for a moment because it seemed, as some
1:49of you may have seen, that there were some photographs shared on social media, which
1:54is against chamber rules that were read at the top of the meeting.
1:57So, the hearing has been paused briefly while they figure out where the photo came
2:03from and why possibly members of Congress are violating cap rules.
2:09I've actually seen that. Can you explain what the picture is?
2:12If you look on your Twitter feed, do you know who it came from?
2:15It came from Betty Johnson.
2:17He said Lauren Boebert gave it.
2:18Yeah. Look at Betty Johnson's feed.
2:21Uh -oh. Betty Johnson shared a naughty photo?
2:24What happened here? I didn't even know this was a thing.
2:27I didn't know there was some rule about it.
2:30Anyway, they paused the hearing because someone gave Benny Johnson a photo to share on
2:35social media and he shared it.
2:36I don't know. I guess, team, take a look.
2:39What did Benny share? What is this photo that could pause the hearing?
2:43I think it's just a photo of the hearing.
2:45Of the hearing? That's it?
2:47Because they specifically are doing it without cameras present, so I presume that that was
2:53negotiated because they don't want the footage of Hillary Clinton to be used.
2:58I don't know if they're going to do a public hearing or not.
3:01Tomorrow is Bill Clinton, but I'm guessing somebody snapped a photo of it.
3:06It got shared and then it ended up on social media and they've had to
3:11stop the hearing as a result.
3:15What a circus. Oh, yeah.
3:17Okay. So he shared a photo.
3:19By the way, we know the team just pulled it.
3:22We know it's just a photo of Hillary.
3:24But can I just point out, it's a photo of Hillary at a random conference.
3:28You can tell me she just got out.
3:29This is like a committee meeting of mean old ladies who have nothing else to
3:36do in Zurich or something.
3:37You have no idea. There's nothing about this photo that's particularly interesting other than apparently
3:44you're not allowed to take photos in the hearing, so that's all.
3:46Yeah, and look, far be it for me to defend Hillary Clinton, unless they have
3:52photos of her on the plane or photos of her with Epstein, it seems like
3:58she basically is showing up because Bill Clinton had a relationship with Epstein and she,
4:06like she has been doing for the last 40 some odd years, is going to
4:10be answering questions about what Bill Clinton did and she may not have a lot
4:17of knowledge about some of the things that Bill Clinton did.
4:20So it doesn't seem to me like there is much here.
4:23And what I will say is there were two things that Democrats seemed to be
4:29focused on at the State of the Union if you looked at what their lapels
4:33showed and everything else. One was, we talked about it, the anti -ice pens that
4:39people like Rashida Tlaib were wearing that had an expletive followed by ice very succinct
4:46there. The other one was, Democrats have really decided to make this Epstein release their
4:55primary method of attacking Trump.
4:57And Buck, this is starting to have, and by the way, I know all the
5:01Epstein people out there are flooded in, but the way that they are sharing these
5:06stories, it's starting to feel like the Steele dossier to me.
5:10And let me explain what I mean by that.
5:14And you can speak to this in much more detail because of your background with
5:18the CIA, but you basically have now completely unverified...
5:24allegations which seem to have no substance or validity at all behind them that are
5:31now front page of the new york times today was oh there's an accusation against
5:35trump made by what appears to be a crazy person uh that did not come
5:40out until 2019 and appears to have no basis in reality at all it feels
5:45both like the steel dossier dossier and the kavanaugh accusations where the media it didn't
5:51matter how crazy the people were they treated these accusations all as legitimate so uh
5:57they seem to have decided this is their angle to go after trump uh in
6:02uh in the second term i also think there's a little bit of like taking
6:07a step back and just get away from hillary clinton talking about epstein apparently she
6:12didn't really know epstein but you know they're asking her about this whole thing honestly
6:17um we're all forgetting the answers and everything else but i'm also not for not
6:22getting the answers as in like nothing nothing is going to come out of this
6:25hearing just so you just just so we're clear just like i told you nothing
6:28was going to come out of the jfk files yes it did bucket no it
6:31didn't okay nothing is going to come out of this hearing with hillary clinton it's
6:35just putting hillary through it hey look you could say putting hillary through it because
6:38she would do this to us whatever if that's that's one thing but if you're
6:42waiting you're waiting for the big uh epstein revelation from hillary clinton i'm sorry to
6:46be the bearer of bad news that's not going to happen um but here here's
6:51what i do see happening and this actually goes to the state of the union
6:54and the state of the democrats right now i think they don't know really what
7:00to do in a post -trump era and they're starting to realize that it is
7:06coming now obviously not before the midterms they're going to run against trump as much
7:10as they can they're going to they're going to use the ice stuff and they're
7:14going to talk about this but when they're flailing at trump with epstein for one
7:19it shows that they they've got nothing else okay they got they have nothing of
7:22any real substance to hit donald trump with and i know we're all supposed to
7:26sit around and think about uh like ice in minneapolis for the rest of our
7:30lives no there's other things and more important things that are happening elsewhere and people
7:34have moved on largely so that's that's one part of it i think they don't
7:39really know how to position themselves as a party right now at all i mean
7:43here here's cnn talking about trump after that state of the union clay and they
7:50have to say that based on the data they're able to pull together trump was
7:54looking great after that state of the union play five look at the growth president
7:58trump made over the speech so pre -speech it was 54 percent of speech watchers
8:04said his policies will move the u .s in the right direction after the speech
8:08that number goes up 10 percentage points so donald trump made some progress with people
8:13watching the speech from their pre -speech expectations uh to what they saw in the
8:17speech itself and that 64 percent number that's pretty much in range across all of
8:22his state of the union addresses in his first term last year the joint session
8:26that's about what we've seen is roughly two -thirds have walked away from his speech
8:30is thinking he's going to move it in the right direction look we played that
8:34in the first uh hour as well buck and i think it's the most important
8:38takeaway from the reality of what happened in that speech trump won over viewers and
8:46i i think it goes into what you're raising is look 2026 is going to
8:52be the last opportunity for democrats to run against trump and then they have to
8:58actually start to argue for things that they believe in i mentioned that mortgages dropped
9:04under six percent health care costs are going up that's largely a function of democrats
9:12having screwed up on health care with obama obamacare um but they're going to try
9:19to run on health care abortion is gone i said this yesterday i understand that
9:25they may try to run on it you know kamala made her entire you're talking
9:29about funny clips you're talking about funny clips that we enjoy every single time makes
9:32me smile to think about it the social the the political lady who went to
9:36go buy her bottle of champagne and lectured the guy i said excuse me sir
9:42i'm a political analyst and i'm buying champagne because the women of america are going
9:48to be heard uh and then kamala kamala ran her entire campaign on abortion and
9:55it didn't work in 2024 and i think it's even less likely to work in
9:592026 i mean if you are out there and you are listening to us and
10:03you have daughters or you have granddaughters um and they're single democrats managed to mobilize
10:11single women with the idea that their daughters were going to get dragged out of
10:17uh out of the house by their hair if you got pregnant you're not going
10:21to be able across state lines and it may have worked in 22 i think
10:26it did i think it forestalled what otherwise would have been a red wave uh
10:30in 24 they tried it again it didn't work at all i don't even know
10:34if they can run that playbook in 26 i i really don't i mean i
10:39think the lesson of dobbs has been that it moved abortion into state legislatures and
10:45if you're desperately focused on that as your right can be then figure out what
10:50your individual state policy is going to be fight the battles there it feels like
10:55basically all 50 states have come up with whatever their abortion policy is and we
11:00have 50 different state laboratories uh dealing with abortion the number of abortions despite what
11:06was said really didn't change at all so if you don't have abortion and if
11:12health care actually you're the cause of maybe they're going to be able to demagogue
11:16health care i think what you're getting at is a really important part uh really
11:20important uh thing what do democrats stand for that majorities of americans agree with even
11:27the ice thing you're opposed to illegal immigrants being removed from the country that is
11:35not something that the vast majority of americans are in favor of so what i
11:39mean i mean this honestly what is the democrat policy that actually majorities of americans
11:48are in favor of i can name a lot that republicans are on trump is
11:52a master of these 80 20 issues and getting democrats to take the 20 what
11:57is can you even think i i honestly can't think of one what is a
12:0160 40 issue that democrats are on the right side of now clay i i
12:09sit here and i can't think of a single thing because it really it was
12:14the democrat party of the let's just look at the democrat party of the obama
12:18era for a second and how they position themselves not what they were and not
12:22what they did how they position themselves first of all obama came in as a
12:26traditional marriage candidate which is which is really interesting right he was like he was
12:30like no gay marriage can't do that that was obama ran against it right right
12:35so just start with that okay now that now we got joe biden's white house
12:39putting out yeah trans the 12 year olds why not that's what the medicine says
12:43put me back to sleep like we all know they went completely insane but they
12:49were the health care party that was really their thing oh because look that's the
12:54thing that affects everyone everyone gets scared everyone everybody wants to know and it's a
12:57basic human thing that when they get sick they're gonna have the care they need
13:02i get that right we're in a country now where the problem like the same
13:05way the people you know when you're hungry you want there to be food we're
13:08actually in a country where poor people the problem is that too much food of
13:11low quality that gives them health problems because people get too fat so no one's
13:15actually starving to death people are malnourished people have you know have have different kinds
13:19of issues with food but um so people want to have health care and i
13:23get that and democrats were saying we're going to make sure you have it and
13:27they screwed the whole thing up they've screwed the whole thing up they've made it
13:30worse in every respect all the all the health care stuff has gotten worse that
13:35democrats touched the democrats were involved in so that i think that i think is
13:42a hole that they can't fill also clay they used to be we're in agreement
13:47with republicans about securing the border we just want to do it differently now everybody
13:52knows that's a lie because they didn't want you know they kicked the border wide
13:55open trump secured it and they're still complaining about it right so your point about
14:0060 40 issue i i mean you just you have to be ignorant that they
14:06have to get people to believe lies for that to be the case they have
14:09to get people not understand that health care premiums are up 150 to 200 percent
14:13over the last decade because of obamacare and and so that's where i wonder right
14:20now the only thing that unites the democrat party is they hate trump and the
14:24base of the democrat party hates trump desperately even in the face of pretty good
14:29results coming in now and the economy is going to be better i think so
14:33what do they actually stand for um i i think they're in a tough spot
14:37i don't think i don't see very many things that they stand for that have
14:41majority public approval um and at some point that's going to blow up in their
14:46face um and even more significantly than i think what happened in 24 uh look
14:51one of the things i admire is uh people who are able to build successful
14:56businesses and the founders of legacy box nick and adam fall into that category um
15:02i uh spoke on tuesday night at a nashville event that was put on by

17:57spokane what you got for us oh clean book yes anyway uh i just wanted
18:05to say you know trump derangement syndrome is real but it goes both ways uh
18:15people on the left think trump can do no wrong people like you two think
18:22trump can do reverse that treat people on the left think trump can do no
18:29right and you guys seem to think trump can do no wrong i i voted
18:34for trump okay well i mean i think trump is imperfect like all humans what
18:38do you think we should be criticizing him for uh well okay just for a
18:45quick poignant he used the word crazy during his uh state of the union address
18:51yes no that's that's not intellectual i think it's accurate i i actually think the
18:59democrats are not so i you and i are going to have a difference of
19:02agreement i have a difference of opinion rather so you you have a whole book
19:05that about how these people are delusional it's called manufacturing delusion i highly recommend you
19:09get a new york times bestseller everybody you're concerned that we're supporting trump too much
19:13and that's going to hurt republicans yeah buck i really like the concept of that
19:18title of your book but uh we have you got to read the book we
19:23no i really like i had well i know you like the concept i'm saying
19:28get yourself a copy and then call back in we can talk about this because
19:30i think you'll see these democrats are nuts my friend i mean you seem like
19:34a good american a good patriot i'm telling you this is not your daddy's uh
19:37dnc this is not jfk's party these people are wackadoos but but you're you're being
19:43a little bit extremist too you the left are criticizing the right for being extremists
19:50and the right are criticizing thank you for the call i don't even understand what
19:55could be called an extremist opinion from donald trump and i'm not even trying to
20:01be cocky in saying that i don't even know what it is gold my friends

20:51all you have to do is text b -u -c -k text buck to 98
20:5698 98 to get started with birch gold joining us now the chairman of the
21:01fcc brendan carr uh came on last week i believe to talk about the late
21:06night tv battle um and the fact i think you saw that we'll start there
21:12because the primary is tuesday um it feels to me like that was a clear
21:17attempt to help james tallarico in the battle against jasmine crockett and that the media
21:23was not smart enough to see what was going on in the way that that
21:28played out and i think it's become even clearer since because uh tallarico raised 2
21:34.4 million dollars um and uh and the youtube video got watched way more than
21:40if he had just been a guest nobody would have cared nobody would have noticed
21:43and unless i'm wrong jasmine crockett still hasn't gotten an invite uh yet to appear
21:48on The Colbert Show. Yeah, look, I think you nailed it.
21:53Great to be with you again.
21:55This was a really interesting story where one Democrat candidate tried to create a hoax
22:01to get clicks and views and money over another Democrat candidate in the primary.
22:07And so much of their traditional legacy media just played right into it.
22:13They're more than happy to do it.
22:14What's interesting, though, is there's now reporting that a number of TV stations in Texas,
22:19not the CBS ones, but actually Disney -affiliated ones, have filed equal time notices with
22:26the FCC, saying that because of Tallarico's appearance on The View, which happened a couple
22:31weeks ago, they're offering the opportunity for any other legally qualified candidate, including the Crockett
22:36campaign, to reach out and get comparable time and placement.
22:39So we'll see if that happens.
22:41But it's an interesting development that you've got Texas TV stations saying, or appearing to
22:45say that, yeah, The View is not bonafide news programming.
22:49Well, and I want to build on that for a sec, because I know you're
22:52going to talk about a new story that we're super fascinated about here, too.
22:56But the idea, we've got a super competitive Texas primary.
23:00We started talking about that on Tuesday, and we will soon have a nominee on
23:05the Republican side, Democrat side.
23:07As these primaries play out, would it be your suggestion, contention under equal time, based
23:14on the way we have seen these late -night shows rig, super left -wing guests,
23:19without offering an opportunity for the other side, that post -primary, the equal time doctrine,
23:25could be in play for, if you're going to have on a Senate candidate, let's
23:30say from Texas, who's the Democrat nominee, to me it's even more incumbent then that
23:34you should offer equal time to the Republican candidate.
23:38Because I think what we'll see is some of these shows, Colbert and Kimmel certainly,
23:43where they have a lot of these guys on for the midterms on the Democrat
23:47side and don't give any opportunities at all to Republicans.
23:51I think that's exactly what we could see happen here.
23:54So remember, Congress passed this law.
23:56It wasn't me. It was Congress itself.
23:58And Congress was worried. They did not want media gatekeepers to be able to put
24:03their thumb on the scale for one candidate or one political party.
24:07What they wanted was for individual voters to be able to make their own mind
24:11up. And so if you're not a bonafide news program and you have a legally
24:15qualified candidate on, then you have to offer comparable time and placement to all others.
24:20And that empowers individuals. It's not a censorship provision.
24:23It doesn't stop you from having anybody on.
24:26And in fact, you don't even have to have the other legally qualified candidate on
24:29if Colbert has an issue with Jasmine Crockett, he doesn't have to interview her.
24:33But the TV stations do have to give her and other legally qualified candidates equal
24:38time. So the FCC has been clear.
24:40We're going to start insisting on this.
24:43And there's programs out there like The View, like The Late Show, that simply have
24:47not made the case to the FCC at this point that they qualify as a
24:51bonafide news program. Again, the key there is under the FCC's own test, are you
24:56motivated by partisan political motivations?
24:59Or are you really more of a straight news program that asks legitimate, hard -hitting
25:03questions? Commissioner, it's Buck. Thanks for being here with us.
25:06I have a question that certainly falls under your area, but it's a little bit
25:12of a different direction. It has to do with spectrum policy and expansion of the
25:18spectrum out there. Essentially, with things like satellite -to -device connectivity, Elon's got all these
25:26SpaceX satellites up there now, and people are able to get their Internet directly from
25:32satellites. This is increasingly common, even something that we talk about in my little community
25:37here in Florida as an option.
25:38What role does the FCC play in streamlining, assisting, making sure that as these technologies
25:46become more available, basically, super fast, super reliable Internet, everywhere, anywhere, anytime, is a reality?
25:57Because I feel like we're getting closer to that technologically.
26:00The regulations obviously need to be kept up to that.
26:05Yeah, this is one area in particular where I'm really excited about what President Trump
26:09is accomplishing. You may recall, back during the Biden years, Congress passed this $42 billion
26:15program to connect millions of Americans to the Internet, and not a single shovel's worth
26:20of dirt was turned, not a single home was connected.
26:22President Trump has come in and fundamentally transformed that program.
26:26We're going to start to see shovels in the ground very quickly here.
26:30At the same time, as you noted, Trump has been clear that we're going to
26:32get the airways out there to power this new generation of low -Earth orbit satellites.
26:37Starlink has this. Amazon's coming online with theirs.
26:41And so we're heading in a great direction right now in terms of more spectrum,
26:44increased connectivity, real competition. It's a good time to be a consumer.
26:49Prices right now are already down significantly year over year because we're getting more spectrum
26:55out there and more competition.
26:57Okay, let's go into something that's got me super fired up.
27:00Whatever you think about me, I'm in the 99th percentile for sports viewing.
27:04I watch sports all the time.
27:06I know you're a big sports fan, too.
27:08And it's not moving in a good direction.
27:11Put simply, everybody out there who's listening to us right now, in 2000.
27:15Mike? 2010 it was easier it feels like to watch your favorite team than it
27:19is in 2026 and the cost to do so has been skyrocketing the number of
27:25streaming services channels everything else out there continues to grow the consumer is paying more
27:32and getting less that seems like a bad combination what are you trying to do
27:36now as it pertains to sports rights and looking into this increased cost and and
27:44and not increased ability to to consume product well for decades americans love to sit
27:51down turn on the tv and just quickly find the game they wanted to watch
27:56and in recent years it's gotten a lot more complicated people have to sign up
28:01for bespoke streaming services they can't find the game they want to watch they're having
28:05to sign up for trials of one platform just to get a playoff game and
28:09they got to remember to cancel it down the road and to your point a
28:12lot of them are paying more out of pocket and that's a problem it's a
28:15real frustration there's a role for the fcc here too though because as sports are
28:20broadcast over the air on tv that helps drive advertiser to local broadcasters and that's
28:27what ends up funding local news and local reporting so we're exploring this relationship between
28:33sports and broadcast because a lot of people don't know this but many years ago
28:37congress passed a law the sports broadcasting act that created antitrust exemptions for the sports
28:43leagues and that law was passed when all the games if you weren't there in
28:47person were broadcast for free over the year and so as more and more games
28:51start to go behind paywalls it starts to tug at some of the some of
28:55the underpinnings of that sports broadcasting act i think people are right to start to
29:00ask questions of do we have the right regulatory framework right now okay this is
29:06very specific and i don't know how much attention you're paying to this but um
29:102029 the nfl can opt out of its existing contracts nfl is the biggest sports
29:16league in america clearly in terms of audience right now the games air over the
29:22air free in quotation marks but on cbs nbc and fox right so for a
29:29lot of people out there they watch their favorite local team on cbs nbc and
29:33fox there is some talk that the nfl may decide to leave cbs nbc and
29:39fox do you believe the fcc has an interest in the nfl airing on cbs
29:46nbc and fox would the nfl if they just pulled out and said we're no
29:51longer going to air on those networks i don't know to your point that broadcast
29:55television even can exist as a viable business given how much money they make in
30:01an audience they grow off of the nfl are you paying attention to that is
30:05there a role given those games on cbs nbc and fox yeah this is one
30:11of the most significant features of broadcast tv right now so much that local news
30:17and local reporting works and there's funding for it because that great relationship between broadcasters
30:23in the nfl as that contract comes due if too many of those games start
30:27to go behind the paywall it's a problem on many fronts i think it's a
30:30problem for local news and for broadcasters i think it's a problem for consumers who
30:35i think continue to be frustrated with an inability to find the games and again
30:39it starts to undermine some of the reasons why we have that sports broadcasting act
30:43now there's some good reasons that come from this as well there are more games
30:47that are available now so there is some upside but there's a real consumer frustration
30:51so i hope that the nfl ultimately finds the right balance where we still get
30:54these free over their games that helps grow the game it brings additional audience to
30:59it i just don't think it's a great thing if we see a critical mass
31:02start to go behind all sorts of different paywalls yeah because i mean as a
31:07sports fan if suddenly cbs nbc and fox don't have games then you're demanding effectively
31:13that everybody go subscribe and it's not better for the consumer i wouldn't think so
31:18that there's a role in theory because of where those games are uh it for
31:22the fcc and you're working through on that angle yeah yeah that's exactly right we're
31:28working at all i mean the very first sports game ever to be broadcast went
31:33back i think to the 1939 world's fair in new york it was a college
31:36baseball game a barn burner that was won two to one in 10 innings and
31:40americans have just had so much fun over the years sitting down grabbing a drink
31:44bowl of chips watching the game and it's just become a frustrating experience there's so
31:48much in our lives right now that's frustrating that drives americans apart i do want
31:52to see us continue to have games on the air where lots of different americans
31:57are being brought together i think it's been a great beneficial relationship for sports leagues
32:01for broadcasters but really for the american people no doubt uh we appreciate the time
32:06uh fcc commissioner brendan carr if people are interested in this what should they do
32:11to let you know their perspective the public notice it would just put up on
32:16the fcc's website fcc .gov i uh posted it out on x and people can
32:20file their comments in that proceeding and we're going to take a look at it
32:25awesome we appreciate the time sir keep up the good work we'll talk to you
32:28again soon thanks much appreciate it that's fcc commissioner brendan carr a super interesting story
32:34there among many others uh when we uh come back we'll dive in a little
32:39bit uh into this uh who's going to buy warner brothers uh discussion As well

34:53The Emmy -winning comedy Scrubs is all new.
34:55This is a whole new chapter for me.
34:57No more sad sack. That's what I'm talking about.
34:59I want both of our sacks to be fun.
35:01You two idiots are perfect for each other.
35:03From executive producers of Ted Lasso and Shrinking.
35:06We were all a part of this victory.
35:08Now get those nachos out of the preemie warmer.
35:11Nachos! Feels like there's more applause for the nachos than my speech.
35:14The new season of Scrubs, Wednesdays, 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
35:20Welcome back in. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
35:23Some news for you. Something that went mega viral.
35:27And we talked about on the program, police officers being pelted by bystanders during this
35:35big snowstorm in New York City.
35:37They shared photos of the individuals that they were seeking to arrest.
35:42This morning, according to the NYPD, they arrested a man named Guzman Koulibaly.
35:47That's my best guess. 27 years old.
35:50So they tried to say, oh, these were just kids.
35:5327 year old for assaulting officers.
35:56He was one of the guys who had one of the big.
35:58It wasn't even a snowball.
35:59It was like an ice boulder almost.
36:02And we said on the program, hey, or I said, I would bet a ton
36:07of money that whoever these guys were, that they had criminal charges.
36:10This wasn't a just, you know, I love when you make a long, long shot
36:14call. This was a, this was a 10 to one in your favor, buddy.
36:17Yeah. So the guy was arrested.
36:20And what do you think?
36:22He had, of course, a previous arrest record.
36:25Less than three weeks ago, he was arrested for attempted robbery on the transit system.
36:33Again, if you are the kind of person to see a police officer and think,
36:38I want to pelt these officers with snowballs and continue to do so, then you
36:46are the kind of person who likely has engaged in criminal behavior in the past.
36:51But again, NYPD has officially arrested this guy.
36:55Now, we'll see how soon Mom Donnie lets him out and whether there is any,
37:00any actual process here. But again, 27, they tried to say, we played this cut.
37:07Mayor Mom Donnie said, oh, these are just little kids in a snowball fight.
37:1227 year old who had been arrested for armed robbery probably shouldn't have been out
37:17on the street anyway. And he has now been arrested.
37:22So I hope Mom Donnie will speak out and say, you know, I didn't handle
37:26this as well as I could have, but I doubt that he will.
37:29There are reports, however, that Mom Donnie is meeting with President Trump in the Oval
37:36Office today. So there is a possibility that he could be asked about this arrest
37:42because I would imagine, Buck, that the president and Mom Donnie might have another one
37:46of those joint press conferences reports that the two of them are going to work
37:51on trying to build more housing in New York City, which would theoretically bring down
37:56the overall cost of rent and and other aspects associated with residential costs there.
38:04So that news is out there as we get ready to go into the third
38:09hour here. I wonder where it is.
38:10Thank you. Look, bringing down the cost of building residential units, because you're not really
38:18talking so much about single -family home in New York.
38:20You're going to be talking about apartment complexes.
38:22Bringing down that cost would be a remarkably wise thing to do.
38:28The cost, Clay, in specifically New York State, or I should say New York City,
38:33and then across the whole state of California, the additional costs of building places to
38:39live that have nothing to do with lumber, contract work, like just the environmental crap,
38:46the regulatory nonsense, the tax burden, all this.
38:49It is astronomical. Yes. Astronomical.
38:52And what people say is they go, oh, well, the rents are so high.
38:55It's a market. The rents are high because there's supply and demand, and people want
38:59to live in these places.
39:00Yeah, and they have such zoning restrictions that they will not allow additional housing to
39:06be created. So they have artificial scarcity and supply and demand.
39:10It's just supply -demand. I mean, we're not reinventing the wheel here.
39:14And remember when they criticized J .D.
39:15Vance when he said, hey, you know, if we had fewer illegal immigrants, it would
39:19mean costs would come down for overall rent.
39:22Guess what? Costs in many different places are starting to come down.
39:27So when we come back, New Jersey stood up and said, stop picking on the
39:34U .S. men's hockey team gold medalist.
39:36We've got some fun reaction to that.
39:39Also, can we get the audio pulled of Kamala Harris saying she might be running?
39:44Does Buck want to go ahead and relent and admit that yet again, I have
39:48won another stake? We will discuss third hour rolling in next.
