Welcome it everybody. Thursday edition of Clay and Buck, just a couple of days before Christmas Week. Very exciting for all of us out there who celebrate, and happy holidays to everyone. We've got big news today. I was thinking that it might be a bit of a lull, and then the CR turned into quite a battle. The Continuing Resolution, Iev john What are they calling it? The cramnibus? I think bill, so there could be an omnibus bill. Whi's a fancy way of saying, spend everything you can possibly imagine and make us go even deeper into debt. The cramnibus is because they're trying to cram this thing through at the very end. But it turns out that Elong and Trump and others and Vivek have decided that this is unacceptable. And the more people find out about what is in this Continuing Resolution, the more pressure there is on Speaker Johnson to do something about it. Now, keep in mind, the House is just we all know how our system works. The House is one tier. Also has to go through the Senate. Also would have to be signed by President Biden, who have to I feel like Clay, do you feel listening too? I have to remind myself that he is still the president. I'm astrett ready to start just saying, oh, you know, President Trump is going to deal with this as though it's already happened, but Joe Biden is still technically the president, Which brings me to the story the Wall Street Journal has where now it is safe to discuss that everybody knew we had to mention the whole time around him, and they were hiding the whole thing, and you know, we should play We should definitely talk about that as well, all of the signs. Yes, sir, I was.

Just gonna say, we told everybody these stories would be coming out about Biden. We told And I'll just say we'll get into the Fanny Willis stuff. We are on a run between the two of us, because sometimes we've been on opposite sides of things, but we're on a run of almost flawless predictive power here as we finish off twenty twenty four, almost everything we've told you guys was gonna happen has happened.

The Biden pardon of Hunter, Fannie Willis qualification. I will just throw this out there. You know, there's a lot of people that are doing political online betting these days Clay and Buck were united on an issue that is a prediction. I would wager we've got a ninety to ninety five percent accuracy right on this show.

I'm just what have we gotten this year? You know, it's this is your last show of the year, so something to think about during the course of today. I'm tomorrow and then look, we've got specials that are going to be out there that haven't been a great guest host Monday.

I mean, the show is going to be great next week. I got a great guest host, Brett Winterbules coming in next week. We're doing a Christmas Eve special. That's it's not just like ah, like you're not going to be listening to us, you know, talk about Election Night or something. It's fresh content, cool stuff that's meant for you to listen to. So we want to be clear. The show is on next week, and the show is going to be great next week.

I was just gonna say, what have we gotten wrong? I mean, I'll give you guys out there an opportunity to weigh in in twenty twenty four this calendar year. What have both of us gotten wrong?

I was just gonna say, what have we gotten wrong? I mean, I'll give you guys out there an opportunity to weigh in in twenty twenty four this calendar year. What have both of us gotten wrong?

I can't.

I can't.

I mean, look, I've lost price picks, picks, I've lost gambling picks. But I mean, like in terms of big seismic issues out there, I can't think of anything that we have gotten wrong in twenty twenty.

I mean, look, I've lost price picks, picks, I've lost gambling picks. But I mean, like in terms of big seismic issues out there, I can't think of anything that we have gotten wrong in twenty twenty.

I'm open eight A two. I'm sure some of the mbudsmen that we have in this beloved audience will find something. But yes, generally we've been spot on. So we're taking a little victory lap here. Spot on that Trump would win the election, spot on that Joe Biden would part a Hunter Byden. Now I know that was an obvious prediction, but not everybody, the Democrats, Isn't it amazing? They were surprised. They were truly surprised.

And even on the betting markets, buck you could have gotten three to one on Hunter Biden being pardoned by Joe Biden.

And I also want to remind everybody for next week we've got Brian Mudd, Mark Simone, Sean Parnell, all great guest hosts joining us as well, so it's going to be an awesome show. But Clay and I, you know, we need to retire with the families and put some things on the Christmas tree, et cetera. We haven't even gotten to what I think for today. I don't know. It depends on how this cr goes. Are they really changing things or is this just a lot of pushback that will fade, just as the swamp hopes it will right before the election. But the big thing today, Clay and we were texting about this one right away, is that the Appeals Court in and Georgia has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis from the election interference prosecution of Trump. I believe also this covers her whole team, Clay, So they've pulled everybody who has been running this case against Trump and fourteen defendants. The whole thing was a mess. The whole thing was a disaster. Court of Appeals looked at this and said, you, Fannie Willis are disqualified. Keep in mind, this is disqualified because of her conduct. It was a two to one decision kind of note. I believe both or all three of these judges play were Republican appointees. I want to know who that one judges. I thought that this was okay, but they said that the lower court aired it's a big deal. I want to hand this to you because I know you're fired up. You called this one This is one where we both agreed there's no way she's going to be able to continue on with this for the long run. So what's your big takeaway other than Trump is not tired of winning.

This case is over. Is the big takeaway in Atlanta. And I understand some of you have gotten confused because it has been complicated. This was a state case, Georgia, state case brought in Fulton County, which is where Atlanta is located in Georgia. And I flagged a couple reading the appeals court ruling, which we talked about this for a while. I told you that this was the result I was expecting. But here's what the court said. They said, while we recognize an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated, and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings. So they also, as we conclude, I'm reading from the court case, as we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case. The assistant district attorneys, whose only power to prosecute a case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney you appointed them have no authority to proceed either. So in Layman's terms, not only is Fanny Willis disqualified, anyone who works in the Atlanta that's Fulton County DA's office is also disqualified, meaning this case cannot occur in Fulton County. Now, Buck, given that Donald Trump won almost all the counties in Georgia outside of Fulton County, and I don't know if our team can look up how many counties Fanny Willis actually won, the odds of this case going anywhere in a different county are virtually zero. So South Florida is over. That was the classified documents case. DC is over. That was the Jan sixth related case. Atlanta is effectively over. That was the Georgia election interference racketeering case. The only one of these cases left, Buck, is the one that Judge Mrchand refused to toss the bookkeeping felonies, which I believe will be reversed eventually on appeal. Down the line, Trump has won an impressive series of victories here. He has utterly defeated the lawfare and lots of people out there told you that he was going to lose all these cases. We have consistently talked about this with you for years and pretty much nailed exactly what was going to happen in these cases.

Yeah, we knew New York was rough, just because of the New York jury. And isn't that amazing that the case, the only one where they got a conviction and where it was clear that Trump was in the most legal jeopardy all along, was by far the weakest and most absurd case. And absurd is the right word for it. You know, sometimes people will overstate these things when they don't like a prosecution or they don't like a jury decision. It is, what they did to Donald Trump in New York City is absurd, and it's it's deeply wrong. But the one where they had the best chance of the conviction and got one was the weakest possible case. The federal cases have completely fallen apart. Now the Lea District Attorney case has fallen apart. That's another state case. I do not think they're going to resurrect this. I also have to look and see what the statute limitations would be, meaning I don't know that they could try to bring this. I have to see what that would mean. Could they even consider bringing this again after Trump's term? I don't think so. And I mean, at that point, how insane are they really going to be? Never count out that Democrats can be crazier than you think, though I'm aware of that. But Clay, it's a great run of victories for Donald Trump in addition to the election. Right, this is the thing. Yeah, I mean, I think the Hunter Biden pardon in a sense was a victory because Trump and everybody who all of you, we all knew and they had to just finally admit that Biden, Joe Biden, is a liar, just the worst kind of liar. And in addition to the lawfair wins, which you aptly laid out, now they're admitting, meaning Biden people are coming out to speak about this big store in the Wall Street Journal that they were hiding by all along the presidents. This is from the Wall Street Journal piece, Clay. The president's slide had been hard to overlook. While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hurr, the special counsel who investigated Biden's handling of classified documents, the president couldn't recall lines that his team had discussed with him at events, aids often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would have been obvious to the average person. I mean it goes on and on. So everything we've talked about he had dementia, and the people in the White House hit it.

They I don't know when these people are all going to tell their stories, but they specifically mentioned two aids in this story that basically just exists to walk Biden around to your point and make sure he knows how to get on a stage and how to get off a stage. And they said, no one has ever seen this happen with White House aids. You know this, and probably a lot of people who watch and pay attention. There are lots of age. Usually they're all walking around on their cell phones, taking calls, managing the apparatus of business and the president's schedule. The fact that he basically had two women that existed as his handlers to try to make sure that he didn't get lost and look ridiculous, is really crazy, they said on the recent trip to Africa, in addition to falling asleep during a meeting, and can we just point out, look, I just got back from Israel. It's hard to travel long distances and be really effective. Many of you out there know this, even when you're relatively young and healthy. The idea that they put Biden on a plane to fly him all the way to Africa for three d three days is reckless. They also send him down to the rainforest in Brazil, to the Amazon. But in that article they said he visited a slave museum in I think it was Angola, right was the country he visited, and they brought objects from the museum out for him to be able to see because they didn't think he could walk the stairs and go into the museum.

It's clay I read that. I mean, this is awful. I mean we've gotten a numb to the awfulness because we've seen this for four years. I love me. We're talking about predictions before back in twenty twenty during the Democrat primary. On my show Play before we teamed up, I was just I said, there's no way it can be Biden. Guys, that guy, he's got dementia. This is crazy, and we all know what happened. Somehow they hit him, COVID everything else. But this wasn't some secret. Everybody knew and the part I think that's so damning in the Wall Street Journal speaking to Biden, aids. That's why this is different. Everyone right now, the Biden White House people can come clean now. They knew this from the beginning. They knew that it was hard for people who needed immediate access to Biden during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to get access to him. The people that absolutely needed to talk to him during that disaster, Oh it was Biden's nap time.

Sorry, and we'll talk more about this because I think it really matters in a major way. It was a recklessness that we have never seen before. They still tried to run him. I mean, that's the part that is staggering to me. Even knowing all of this, These people were so desperate to retain their position and status with the levers of power that they were willing to run a dementia patient. And again, to your point, the biggest decision of twenty twenty four, if they hadn't trotted him out on June twenty seventh, they would have kept him as the nominee all the way through the election. If he had just not been an unmitigated disaster on June twenty seventh, they were prepared to run him even though this story The Wall Street Journal said they talked to fifty people in and around the White House surrounding Biden. I think the stories are just now beginning to come out, and I think there's going to be some shocking, unbelievable, terrifying things that were actually happening behind scenes too.

It was a fraud, that's the real takeaway. It wasn't a surprise after the disastrous debate. They were actively hiding, taking measures to make sure that they could keep going with this lie. Is this huge scandal. I mean, I know, on the one hand, right Clay, we're excited with Trump what's going on right now, but let's not let go what the Democrats did. I mean, this is also why CNN's ratings have been cut in half. I mean, these people are all such cowards, all such frauds.

It's the biggest lie that has been perpetrated against us, the American people relating to the president. I think in any of our lives, I don't think we've ever seen anything like this. Holidays should be a time of hope and peace for all of us, those in Israel ongoing war and uncertainty. It's a time of great fear. I was just over in Israel last week. Thanks to our partners at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they are doing everything they can to help those in need during the holiday season there. Your special holiday gift to the Fellowship helps provide a honk of food box filled with necessities and essentials to bring nourishment, warmth and comfort to someone in need. While I was there, I spent a morning volunteering at pantry packers. We stocked boxes of food items with members of the IFCJ team. In fact, I've even been ridiculed for wearing a hairnet by Jesse Kelly. Some of you may have seen this. I mean, a giver like me buck being ridiculed for my appearance.

All right, welcome back into Clay and Book Ricina. We can track down incoming White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt to talk about the big news today. Very busy. I understand if I was talking to some of the Trump team this morning, Clay, and every time they answer the phone like it sounds like they're in the situation room right now. You know, they've got a lot of stuff going on. And I appreciate that, not only because the big news out of out of Atlanta today, but also with this fight over the cr the continuing resolution and the GOP that the big headline here on this is that they're they're quote scrambling. This is, according to New York Times, scrambling to a vert a shutdown because Trump Elon, you know, maybe we put like a little hyphen between it. Trump Elon have decided that this is completely unacceptable. I just wanted to throw some things out there for what is in this, Clay, did you see some of this? Representative Nancy Mace had some very good tidbits from this fifteen hundred and forty seven page bill. You forget using this as a doorstop, you could use this as a vehicle barrier. I mean, this is insane. It is massive, and they did this the part of this clay. Before I'll get into details, I know you want to jump, I just want to say the part of this that is so maddening is that this was all written by special interest lobbyists and the swamp held and dropped so that it would have no so that there's no choice. You know what I mean. This is this is the sorry you know your house is gonna burn down, here's the only insurance plan we can offer you because it's already on fire.

Yeah, and nobody actually reads these things. That's where I think it's really disappointing is the time and the race is clearly to try to avoid anybody being able to see what's actually in it. And I mean both politicians, I mean media. In theory, this should be the job of media, but they're also trying to box out media from having time to in any way check and see what's actually in there.

And you know you made this point before the show. I think it's very worthwhile to share with everyone the technology because of AI. Now, because of artificial intelligence, the technology is out there to get through fifteen hundred pages and I know you could do control F and no, no, but this is a different level. You can go through it and summarize, well, anything that has to do with anything you're looking So finally, everything in the fifteen hundred page bill on health care and put it in plane language so I can understand it. You can type that into AI and it will do it and it's good and it's accurate. Right, I mean, that's where this And I'm so glad people like Elon because AI was going I think to a very and it's still there's a lot going on there that we have to keep an eye on, but it was going to a sort of dark place. It's dangerous place with like what we saw was some some of the early AI entries that we were seeing out there of very left wing. Let's just put it out. It's very left wing stuff, so they know how powerful it will be. But oh, we got Caroline, all right, Caroline, we got big news today, Caroline Levit incoming White House Press secrety. By the way, Merry Christmas, and congratulations on the fantastic we were We're not saying we're responsible for it. The big guy made the choice, but we did think it was gonna happen. So congrats on that, Caroline. And speaking about the big guy, the President Trump had some pretty I would say, good and just news this morning with Atlanta. Let's start with that and we'll go back to the cr What should people know about the Appeals court decision?

It is a huge win for President Trump and also for our entire country. These witch hunt cases are now dead and Fanny Willis has been disqualified rightfully. So there were clear violations of ethical standards, potentially breaking of the law by Fanny Willis, and so this is a huge win for the President and once again proves he has been right all along about these cases that were manufactured by the Democrat parties, supported by the Biden Whitehouse and the Biden DOJ and specifically targeted at him to try to derail his chances of winning the election on November fifth, The ultimate victory came on election day because the American people have seen these chom cases for what they are since the very beginning. But it is great news to have it written on paper. This case is over, just like the rest of them. President Trump is focused on governing and making this country great again.

Now, Caroline seven hundred thousand dollars roughly that Fanny Willis paid her lover, Nathan Wade, to investigate the president, and that is why the Georgia Court of Appeals has said she is not and nor is anybody else in the District Attorney's office able to prosecute this case. Do you think this case should be investigated now? As Fanny willis engaging in criminal behavior, should there be a next step there?

In your mind?

In your mind?

I will let the President speak on that. I mean, my inclination would be yes. And as President Trump has said repeatedly, if people have broken the laws, then we need to be a country of law and order and people need to be prosecuted and held accountable for that. And it does appear in this case there was at least, at the very least massive ethical violations in this case, and certainly the American people of justice and accountability, and Fanny Willis made it very clear even when she was on the stand taken questioning earlier in the year about this case, she should not be prosecuting anything or anyone. She has a lot of personal issues that I think disqualify heard from being a standard bearer of justice in this country.

Speaking of Caroline Levitt, the incoming White House Press Secretary, and Caroline, I wanted to get you to weigh in with what we see going on on Capitol Hill, all the negotiations, seems like from the news coverage of it. President Trump, along with some of his top advisors on this issue, people like oh well, Dosee, of course, Elon and vivek Ramaswami, have looked at some of the pork and the mess that is in this last minute Kremnibus bill and said, hold on a second, what can you tell us about where you think this is going, the President's view of it, and what we should be prepared for.

There's a lot of moving parts to this right now. Senator Vance is currently on Capitol Hill. Negotiations are ongoing, so I don't want to get ahead of the president, but I will echo some of the sentiments he shared this morning with members of the media, which is that this cr was a disaster. It was filled with pork. It was millions and millions of dollars for Democrat Party special projects and giveaways that the American people do not deserve. They just voted to re elect President Trump because they believe in his promise to cut bureaucracy and government waste. And so it looks like the bill is dead thanks to President Trump's lobbying efforts and once again proving he is the clear, unequivocal leader of the Republican Party. And so now we're back to the negotiating table and the President I believe that the debt cealing issue must be addressed in one way or another before he takes office in January twenty twenty five. Again, the American people elected Presidential to implement the policies he campaigned on and promise them. That's why he won with a resounding mandate. Congress needs to get its act together to negotiate these issues before them. Now, get them done before President Trump is morn in, so the President and everyone on Capitol Hill can hit the ground running delivering on the promises that the American people want President Trump to deliver on, like border security, tackling inflations, energy independence, and ending the wars abroad.

Fanny Willis certainly what's going on with the bill that would set sort of the budget. But here's an important question. You're a new mom. You are going to be moving to Washington, d C. What is it like to be preparing to take a brand new government to Washington, DC while having a newborn and having to find a place to live. Like I'm actually just genuinely curious. Do you go to d C? Do you have any idea where you're going to live? What's that process? Because there's lots of people like you who are going through their own personal life challenges while they're serving the country.

Yeah, it's a challenging time. It's a busy time, it's an exciting time. I'm so excited to get to work, so honored that President Trump chose me to be his Press secretary. I'm really looking forward to getting to work. On day one, I am moving down there. Baby is coming with me. He's going to be a city boy, whether he knows it or likes it or not. We found a safe place to live, which I'm grateful for, and so it's going to be a new family adventure and I'm looking forward to it very much. I've gotten some great advice from my predecessors, Kayleie mc nanny and Sarah Sanders, both of whom were working moms in this role, and I will take their words of wisdom with me as I try to navigate this very high pressor stressful job with being a first time mom. But my son is a great boy. He's finally sleeping through the night. He knows cannot be up three times a night before taking the podium, so he's being a good boy and he's getting his sleep, so I can too.

Let me ask you this, There's been a lot of talk about reorienting or reorganizing the White House Press briefing room. How much time has been spent on that and how much different do you think it might look in terms of the credentialed organizations, in terms of who's there.

Nobody cares about press transparency and access more than Donald Trump. He saw that this week when he did a nearly ninety minute press conference at mar A Lago taking question from members of the legacy media. We respect that and honor the tradition of the White House, but we also recognize there are new voices that need to be in that room, and so we're exploring our options to figure out exactly and logistically how we can make that happen. We'll have announcement soon. It's going to be exciting, and I look forward to ensuring that. You know, it's my job to work with the American people and to message President Trump's message to them as effectively as I can. So finding new ways to do that is going to be a lot of fun. And I think the American people are going to like what they see incoming.

Given that, yes, it's very exciting, given that you now have your son sleeping through the night. I've tried to give Buck advice. He has no idea what he's walking into. They're going to have a boy too. What would you tell him? You wish you had known that you have learned since you had a new boy, you.

Gotta get him in the crib early. It was a mistake I made. I let the kids sleep with me in the bed. He would come on it and snuggle. They tell you not to do that, but I couldn't help it. And finally I put my foot down, and now he loves his crib and he's a professional sleeper. And I wish I had done it earlier because I would have saved myself a lot of very long and exhausting days. So that's my advice to you, Buck. But I am here for you. You know how to reach me. You're walking into a very challenging time, but the best time ever, so rewarding, is so fun, and I'm so happy for you.

I got an audio clip that I want to play for you, and I got to give credit to Aaron Rodgers, who is not having a good season as the New York Jets quarterback. Frankly, nobody associated with the Jets is having a good season. I'm sorry for our wor listeners out there who came in with some optimism in the Jets season. But he did say this the other day on ESPN. This is from Pat McAfee's show, and he said, you know how they will have like your credentials on the screen. When you're a media analyst, it might say, you know, Buck Sexton of the Clay and Buck Show, or Clay Travis Clay and Buck Show might say OutKick, like whatever your credentials are. When Aaron Rodgers is on ESPN, pretty good credentials. Super Bowl MVP and four time NFL MVP, I think is on the screen. So when he's talking about playing quarterback, you might not agree with him, but it's like, boom, here are my credentials. He said he wants everybody in media to have to say how many COVID shots they've gotten, and then you can just look at that and determine how much credence or credibility you want to give to it and Honestly, I don't know if you can come up with another one. But in this era, you know, I don't really use where you went to college as a proxy for how intelligent you are, or even if you went to college, if you're like Elon Musk or or Jeff Bezos and you found companies like I do give a lot of credit to that.

That's not easy to do.

That's not easy to do.

But if you told me you can only know one thing about everybody on television talking about any issue under the sun, knowing how many COVID shots they got, actually is not an awful idea. Here's Aaron Rodgers making the case.

Listen.

Listen.

I know I got to say this multiple times for people because they don't listen. But say whatever you want about me, I don't care. But just before you do it, whether you state your name, your accolades, pronouns, whatever it is, just state your vack sets so that anything you say afterwards gets put in the right light. Just get it out there, because then when you say things about me, people can at least be like, oh, you are captured by the multi billion dollar propagandis and you're still upset about it. Just so everybody knows where you're coming, everybody knows. Okay, cool, you're twice vax Maderna with three booster shots and then boom, say what you want to say, whatever, I don't care.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I actually think it's kind of genius. Doesn't that tell you a great deal in the wake of COVID about how much?

I actually think it's kind of genius. Doesn't that tell you a great deal in the wake of COVID about how much?

For you and me?

For you and me?

I think it would tell everybody? For us personally, I think it tells you a lot. Wouldn't that impact how you would consider someone's opinion on a variety of subjects.

It's perfection. He's a very shrewd fellow. It's a brilliant test and I totally agree with his assessment here, and yeah, I would love to know. I mean, for example, the craziest people in the media were the last one still saying things like I've gotten my seventh booster but remember you're boy.

Scarborough was like, I would have been really sick with COVID if I hadn't already had eight shots. Do you remember when we remember playing that clip like if you got more than two? Like maybe if you're eighty five, like my dad's eighty, my mom is eighty two eighty as well?

Can I can I tell you? I go ahead, go ahead.

Can I can I tell you? I go ahead, go ahead.

I was gonna say, I maybe understand you getting more than two shots for anyone that is younger than fifty. If you got more than two COVID shots, I don't trust your opinion on anything, honestly, because you were just a sheep and you were just bleeding your way to go to the pharmacist and just keep getting shot up with a worthless shot.

If I found out that you got five COVID shots, I'm not taking your opinion on anything seriously.

If I found out that you got five COVID shots, I'm not taking your opinion on anything seriously.

I think that's a sound policy. Also, if you are not angry about mask and I mean angry about masks mandates, not even that you didn't think they were necessarily a great idea. If you don't think that mask mandates were a moronic and tyrannical and pointless epidemiologically, although very useful for control reasons, I don't trust some. I don't trust someone's judgment on matters of policy or life who does not see what a catastrophe the whole mask thing was and what an absolute disgrace to the whole public health universe it was. And I also note doctors who still kind of be like, well, I'm a doctor, and so I you're not a very smart doctor. I don't care where he went to school.

I don't trust someone's judgment on matters of policy or life who does not see what a catastrophe the whole mask thing was and what an absolute disgrace to the whole public health universe it was. And I also note doctors who still kind of be like, well, I'm a doctor, and so I you're not a very smart doctor. I don't care where he went to school.

Yeah, I agree, And I've made hiring decisions where I've been more likely by far to hire somebody at my companies based on whether you were like, hey, I didn't get a COVID shot. In fact, I'm kind of impressed when people say, hey, because of where I lived, I went and got a fake COVID vaxcard.

I've heard that a bunch from people in our industry. I've never wanted to low anyone up on this, obviously, because technically it's very illegal. I knew so many people who had fake COVID cards, so many people who had fake COVID cards. That's all I could say. That's all I can say about again, not gonna blow even under duress, Clay, I would not name names, but uh, yeah, a lot of people had fake COVID shot cards in New York City. I'm willing to give you the first two shots because again I understand not everybody did the math and and understood things well, and it's easy to fall into hype. But after the first two shots didn't work, if you went and got a booster I can't trust your opinion on anything. It's basically an intelligence test, and god forbid you got.

More than one booster, you are a moron. And if you're in the opinion business, I can't trust your opinion on anything. So I give credit to Aaron Rodgers. I had never thought of this before, But if you had to come on and say, hey, I'm so and so I got six shots, I'd be like, yep, I'm not even listening to anything else after that.

Well, this is why, to be fair, we've had a version of this test that we've discussed on the show for a while, which pertains to politicians, public figures, and how somebody acted throughout the fullness you know, the entirety of COVID was the perfect simulation of what their judgment is like, their level of honesty, their level of courage or lack of all of those things as somebody who has power in public life. So, whether it's politicians, you know, CDC people, doctors, hospital administrators, you got to run the perfect stress test on whether somebody has reasonable, decent judgment and can process new information or not. So yeah, no, Aaron Rodgers, dude, I've already told you I'm a big fan of the Aaron Rodgers team. He was on I know, the green Bay Packers, and I'm like, I know that, but didn't you play for another team too, didn't you go to the Jets or something? He's on the Jets right now.

Did you intro with the when I said, I'm sorry, Jets fans, that's been a rough season for you bad. Yes, he was a Green Bay Packer.

I thought he was tired.

I thought he was tired.

No, he's like forty years old and not had a good season tour his achilles tendon last year. And if you're out there and you're saying, why is Aaron Rodgers talking about that status, it's because he refused to get the COVID shot and everybody in the sports media ripped him to the high heavens as if he were Typhoid Mary out there trying to kill everyone. And so he still hasn't forgotten about it. He's a grudge guy, which I get a lot of people use grudge in sports, grudges as a method to fire themselves up. But that discussion on ESPN, I actually I hadn't thought about it before, But can you think of a better way in the last four years for a media member to immediately tell you something and then you decide whether or not you believe him. Look, they're Democrats out there that I think voted for Kamala Harris that are not total morons. They're just committed to their team and they're willing to do it. So voting status, I'm not to me how many COVID shots you got is actually far more dispositive than who you voted for.

You know, as I was kind of sad, you know, just sitting there fortunately drinking my Crocket Coffee Best Coffee Anywhere Cracket Coffee dot com, while Joe Scarborough is on the screen this morning, and Carrie is such a such a patient and loving wife that she she lets me flip on this morning Joe sometimes even though she's just she feels like it's she can't take it. She's like, I gotta go to it. No, she goes and takes Ginger for a walk. I've realized though, what the deal is with him and a lot of others like him. It's almost like a cartel lawyer, you know, like a lawyer for the cartels. They'll do anything and say anything because this is the job and that's it. And you know, if they got to bend the rules and be dishonest and whatever. Fine, whatever he's got to do, you know what I mean. No, there's no ethos, honor, or integrity in this. It's just making a buck. And if you have to look like a jackass a lot of the time, that's the job. So I don't even think it bothers him. Really, I think he's at that level of media sociopath where just say whatever you know. So the good news is, don't have to feel bad for Miss Holidays. He's at him or Mica. I wonder if they're gonna have dinner with Trump again. Probably. I wonder if eventually he decides to go. I mean, it depends on what that contract looks like. From an MSNBC. Do I think that if Joe Scarborough got an opportunity to become center right at News Nation or Newsmax. I don't think Fox would ever pick him up. But you know, some other network possibly that would view him as star. News Nation wouldn't be too crazy, I think as a possibility. Well, do I think that all of a sudden he would go right of center if that's where he thought the audience the money was. Absolutely, I mean I would place bets on it absolutely. I mean he would yeah, go, go, go the Chris Cuomo routine. Well, all of a sudden, you're like, yeah, you know, maybe I needed to be more of a bro and like not actually such a whimp.
