0:22
inflation recession, the hardship
0:24
of homeownership, late stage
0:26
capitalism. How do you
0:29
negotiate the economy in
0:31
modern America? A conversation with the
0:33
legendary Dave Ramsey. Two,
0:37
seven years too late, the most
0:39
beclowned industry in America. The
0:42
self-titled fact checkers admit that
0:45
Donald Trump did not call
0:47
Nazis very fine people.
0:49
Why now? Why seven
0:51
years too late? Why
0:54
admit to the lie when we
0:56
all already knew the truth?

1:59
establishment James. Program
14:00
and layout for the guy that's
14:02
writing the code You probably
14:04
need to be in the office and so
14:06
anyway I think office buildings if they're going down
14:08
in value and some markets are
14:10
gonna be a good buy I'm probably gonna buy some of
14:13
them. Oh And
14:15
I would assume those those markets the ones you
14:17
talked about earlier the places people are moving to
14:19
Texas Florida, Tennessee, I'm gonna buy an office building
14:21
in an area where the the
14:24
government the local government was draconian
14:27
during the lockdowns and Overreached
14:29
way over each I'm gonna buy an office building
14:32
in an area where there's freedom and And
14:36
and where people freaked out about work from home
14:38
And so they think office buildings are tanking and they're gonna
14:41
give it away. Well, I'll take it if you're gonna give
14:43
it away You
14:46
know you brought up and I and I love Zooming
14:48
out as you point out like the
14:51
whatever we're gonna call this once the history books,
14:53
right? What happened? I don't know maybe
14:55
from 2015 through 25 or 30 The
14:58
great migration I immediately thought of
15:01
you know The migration from
15:03
the south to the north when you had
15:05
the Industrial Revolution and urbanization and Jim Crow
15:07
You had all kind of things pushing people
15:09
to the urban centers like Chicago and New
15:11
York and so forth And
15:15
you've got something similar happening now. I
15:17
mean, it's quasi political very economic Also
15:20
quality of life and freedom to your point It'll
15:22
be a moment when we zoom out in the
15:25
history books right about this They're
15:27
gonna say look how many I don't know I don't
15:29
know how it compares historically when you said that all
15:31
of a sudden I wanted to know How does this
15:33
compare to the great migrations of the past but
15:35
we're probably in the middle of one of these great migrations Yeah,
15:39
we do well or we may be on the tail end
15:41
of it because I don't know how many more will leave
15:43
New York or California but the if you
15:45
read the maps that the Census Bureau is putting out
15:47
and you look at the data The
15:49
numbers are horrendous of the people that have
15:51
left Government areas
15:53
that are overreaching And
15:57
were draconian during the lockdowns. They're
15:59
leaving hot taxes because they know they'll do
16:01
it again. They know at the first blink
16:03
that they'll do all those things again. And
16:05
so they're out of there. I got a
16:08
buddy of mine that left LA and he's
16:10
been there his whole life. But
16:13
in the first year in Nashville, he paid
16:15
cash for a house with the taxes he
16:17
saved by leaving California. So we're seeing a
16:19
lot of that everywhere. And I think you're
16:21
right. I think it's going to show up
16:23
in the history books because
16:25
all the thinkers and the doers, the
16:28
people that earn big money are leaving
16:31
and they're relocating. And so what that's
16:33
going to do to those markets is
16:35
pretty incredible. So
16:38
I want to then go back to the advice you would
16:40
give us as individuals. I want to ask you about two
16:43
concepts. You rolled them one into the same, but I'm actually
16:45
going to separate them for one moment. So I
16:47
think in order to access home ownership,
16:49
everyone, including you, acknowledges debt is an
16:52
essential part of the picture
16:54
of buying a home. Very few people can
16:56
pay cash for their home. But
16:58
still your advice is sought. I mean, you've
17:01
had the envelope theory, the snowball theory, pay
17:03
off small debts, save cash, budget with envelopes
17:05
and so forth. What in your
17:07
estimation, Dave, from a family, for
17:09
an individual, is a good use
17:11
of the tool of debt? I mean, most of
17:13
it's a tool and it can help wealth creation.
17:15
It can also be, I guess, a drug, you
17:18
know, that we continue to inject
17:20
into our bloodstream that we get addicted to.
17:22
But what's a good use of debt? Personally,
17:25
personal finances? I
17:27
don't think there is one. I
17:30
disagree. So I
17:32
have found that being 100% debt free and staying
17:35
that way leads to
17:37
wealth creation faster than anything else
17:39
you can do. Meanwhile, lowering
17:42
risk, increasing the quality of your
17:44
relationships. Most people's careers
17:46
blossom because they're not stuck in a toxic
17:48
work environment because they have to pay payments
17:50
to some idiot that they bought a car
17:53
from. And so, you
17:55
know, the things that it does, the ways it frees
17:57
up your life, the quality of your life, it's a
17:59
good use of debt. increases. Even
18:01
we see hypertension and we see medical results
18:03
of getting out of debt and staying out
18:05
of debt. So there's a whole lot more
18:07
than a simple math. And you know
18:12
when you stress test your idea, when you
18:14
put it up against a really tough time,
18:16
again, we referenced the pandemic or something, it
18:18
feels like it was 20 minutes ago but
18:20
it's five years ago, but the, four
18:23
years ago, but if you
18:25
stress test stupid, you know, you see
18:28
what happens. And so this idea that I can borrow
18:30
and not worry about it and it's
18:32
not a big deal, everybody does it, it's a
18:34
tool and all that. Well, when you lose your
18:36
job or when you can't go to work and
18:38
they furlough you, when things
18:41
happen, when you have a car wreck, when cancer
18:43
is in the family, all of
18:45
these things come up when you stress test it, you
18:47
see what Warren Buffett said is true that when the
18:49
tide goes out, you can tell he was skinny dipping.
18:52
And so, you know,
18:54
so I, we don't recommend
18:56
debt on a house. We
18:59
tolerate it with our callers and say, okay,
19:01
don't take out more than a 15 year
19:03
fixed rate only or the payments no more
19:05
than a fourth of your take on pay
19:08
and get that sucker paid off as fast
19:10
as you can because all the data that
19:12
we have says two things creates the first
19:14
million to five million of net worth. The
19:16
first time you become a millionaire, it's a
19:18
paid off house and a well funded 401k
19:21
and Roth IRA. So funding your
19:23
retirement and good mutual funds and getting your
19:25
house paid off is where we find most
19:27
millionaires are coming from in America. Paying
19:32
off your home and funding your 401k,
19:34
those are the two best
19:36
paths to your first million. Yeah,
19:39
we did a study, the largest study of millionaires ever done. We
19:41
studied 10,167 of
19:44
them and that's the typical model we find.
19:46
They're a million and a half net worth. They got a
19:48
$700,000 paid for house. They got $800,000 bucks in their 401k
19:50
and they're 46 years old and
19:55
they're a millionaire. And so that's
19:57
what we found over and over and over again.
20:02
Now, the second concept I wanted to ask you
20:04
about, Dave, is one that you rolled one
20:07
and the same, somewhat. I want to
20:09
ask you about risk. You said debt is risk, but
20:11
there's other types of risk beyond debt. So
20:14
I once read a book. Dave, when I first
20:16
started out in my career, I pursued
20:19
a very entrepreneurial path. I owned small-town
20:21
newspapers in Texas. I
20:23
had a Latino media business. And
20:26
I was interested in Warren Buffett, by the way. He's one
20:28
of the guys that led me down into that industry. And
20:32
there was a guy named Al Newhart, who started USA
20:34
Today. He was the CEO of Gannett
20:36
Newspapers back in the day. And
20:38
he said he used to encourage his children to take
20:41
one great risk before the age of
20:43
30. And his rationale was, before
20:45
the age of 30, you can rebound easier than after the
20:48
age of 30. You acquire responsibilities,
20:50
wives, children, whatever it may be. You
20:52
acquire more responsibilities the older that you get.
20:57
I'm curious what you would say to people
20:59
in their 20s, in their 30s, about how
21:01
they should manage risk when it comes to
21:03
going for it, you know, whatever it may
21:05
be in their career versus the safety of
21:07
that W-2, that paycheck, that putting money away
21:10
into that 401K. I'm
21:12
curious if you have some type of lesson or
21:14
maxim you talk about when it comes to taking
21:16
risk in your career. I
21:21
think taking risk the rest of your life is a good
21:24
thing. It makes you alive. It's
21:26
adventurous. It's a good thing.
21:28
But the rule I use for risk in
21:31
business or career management or those kinds of
21:33
things comes from Jim Collins,
21:35
our friend that wrote the book Good to Great.
21:38
And he says before you shoot a
21:40
cannonball, which takes a lot
21:42
of powder and is a
21:44
big deal, shoot
21:46
muskets and make
21:49
sure that you can get your target
21:51
aligned. And so take
21:53
risks with smaller things, smaller bites. So
21:56
you don't have to take a risk
21:58
and say, if this doesn't work, I'm bankrupt. up but
22:00
I'm going for it, you don't have
22:02
to do that. That's not necessary in
22:04
today's world. You can start side gigs,
22:06
you can start side hustles. A lot
22:08
of things that we do in today's
22:10
world, an entrepreneur, we coach a lot
22:12
of entrepreneurs, about 10,000 small businesses and
22:15
we tell them take small risks, but
22:17
take a risk every day. So for
22:19
some people the idea that I would
22:22
ever leave the quote unquote safety of
22:24
a W-2 job and opening a business
22:26
is an anxiety producing statement. Just
22:28
to say that, they get all
22:31
tight. I definitely would
22:33
do that. I definitely would do that. But just to
22:36
go in and quit and have no idea or
22:39
I'm going to go $150,000 in debt to
22:41
open a restaurant and I've never cooked anything
22:43
that anybody bought. People
22:46
do that crap. That's not risk, that's
22:48
foolish. That's rash. And
22:51
so calculated risk where we calculated
22:53
and we got alignment with the
22:55
musket balls first. And so you've
22:57
had a catering business running out
22:59
of your basement for four years
23:02
and you're already making with that on the
23:05
side what you used to make at work.
23:07
Well now it's time to open a restaurant
23:09
maybe. But I've never cooked anything and I
23:11
heard somebody say once at
23:13
my barbecue that I ought to open
23:15
a barbecue restaurant. Well crap, just meet
23:17
everybody in Texas, right? I mean come
23:19
on. That's ridiculous. So no,
23:21
you don't do that. A
23:26
little bit of biographical stuff that I'm curious
23:28
about now as well. Your lesson and your
23:30
advice when it comes to debt is hard
23:32
earned. I mean it's through your life experience
23:34
not just academic, right? In the 80s, early
23:36
in your career, I guess
23:39
you learned the lessons of debt the hard way. Well
23:43
I did. I grew up in the real estate
23:45
business and one of the things in the real
23:47
estate business they do is they take your risk
23:49
meter out and hit it with a hammer and
23:51
break it where you no longer measure risk at
23:53
all. It's just everything's good. All debt is good.
23:55
Borrow all you can, buy all you can and
23:58
the nothing down real estate. movement. It's
24:00
not new because of TikTok. It's been
24:02
around for a while. It's
24:04
not new because of everything that
24:06
everybody is renovating a show on cable
24:08
TV. But yeah, I was
24:10
doing Flip This House before Chip and Joanna were
24:12
born. So we were, I
24:15
mean, they're great people. But I mean, I was 22 years
24:18
old. I bought my first house and I bought it
24:20
100% debt. I didn't have
24:23
any money. And I flipped it and I
24:25
made a little money and I did that over and over
24:27
again. I made money, made money, made money, made money. And
24:29
then I had a million two out with one bank and
24:32
I had about $3 million worth of debt total.
24:35
And I was flipping and I owned a bunch of
24:37
rentals at the time too. And I had grown a
24:39
million dollar net worth by the time I was 24
24:41
years old and 25 years
24:44
old. And so I was making $200,000 a year in 1983,
24:49
which is probably like half a million now. You know,
24:51
I mean, it's a lot of money for, especially for
24:53
a hillbilly kid like me. But
24:55
the bank got sold to another bank and
24:58
some guy in another city looked down and said,
25:00
there's a kid in Nashville. Oh, that's a million
25:02
two and he's flipping houses. This looks scary. Let's
25:05
limit this relationship, which is banker talk
25:07
for screw him and ruin your life.
25:09
So they called our notes and we spent
25:12
the next two and a half years of our life losing everything
25:14
we owned. And so we went
25:16
straight up and straight down. It
25:18
was, there was no middle ground with any of
25:20
that. It was a wild ride. So yeah, I've
25:23
got a PhD in DUMB. I know what stupid
25:25
looks like. I've looked at it in a mirror.
25:28
And so, you know, I mean, I, I,
25:30
and we hit bottom at age 28 and
25:32
got the opportunity to start again and try
25:35
to learn from our lessons. And that's when
25:37
I started studying old rich people and
25:40
not young rich people. I had been him. I didn't
25:42
want his opinion, but I started talking to people with
25:44
gray hair and no hair. And they
25:46
said, live on less than you make, have a budget,
25:49
stay out of debt. It's the
25:51
tortoise versus the hair. Well,
25:55
you looked whatever you said, dumb in the mirror
25:57
and from the outside from a distance, it looks
25:59
like that's in the rear view mirror now. I'm
26:02
sure you still make your mistakes, everyone does. I'm
26:06
curious though about your media business. This is the part
26:08
where I started and I'm a fan of. I've
26:12
been in this business for a while. They've been
26:14
at it as an entrepreneur. As
26:16
I mentioned, a chain of small town
26:18
newspapers. I've raised money and
26:20
started a national magazine.
26:22
I've been a W2 employee of
26:24
big corporations like Disney and Fox.
26:28
And one of the things that I've learned, and
26:30
I feel really confident about this, is
26:32
that when it comes to where the media's headed, nobody
26:36
in the hell knows where the answer is. They
26:38
don't have any idea of the future of the
26:40
media. I completely agree. No one. No
26:43
CEO, no billionaire, no one. They know
26:45
how to destroy. We've figured out how
26:47
to destroy old businesses like newspapers and
26:49
we're on our way with cable television
26:51
perhaps. But they haven't figured out how
26:53
to create the next big thing despite
26:55
the fact that we get viral sensations
26:57
and people with a lot of followers.
26:59
But you've done something unique and I
27:01
think somewhat off the map in terms
27:03
of the online relevance and virality. You've
27:05
got a real ongoing concern.
27:07
You've got a real media business. Now
27:09
you got into it with syndicated radio
27:11
in the 90s, which is
27:13
one of the best businesses ever. Built Rush, Bill Howard,
27:16
built you. But I'm curious, as
27:18
you've invented and reinvented this media company,
27:21
what do you think? I mean, I'm
27:23
just curious your mindset on the media. Beyond agreeing
27:26
with me, nobody knows what tomorrow holds, you're building
27:28
something that seems to be lasting the test of
27:30
time. You
27:32
know, what we figured out early was
27:34
that we are not in the media
27:37
business. And
27:39
as long as we keep our head straight
27:41
about that, then we're okay. It keeps us
27:43
from going down a rabbit hole somewhere. We're
27:45
in the content delivery business. We
27:48
help people by teaching them. Now,
27:51
what format can we teach
27:53
them in? Well, I can write books, that's a
27:55
format. I can do live events from stage with
27:57
5,000 people in the audience. That's a format. We've
27:59
used both of those, still use both of those.
28:03
And then we got into talk radio,
28:05
backed into it accidentally, about a perfect
28:07
timing. I couldn't have dreamed up
28:09
the timing. It couldn't have been any better and
28:12
have scratched and clawed through that business and
28:14
grown it and put up with
28:16
all the weird stuff that is radio and
28:19
680 stations now. It's
28:21
crazy. But what
28:23
we figured out all along was when
28:25
SiriusXM and Sirius, they're two different companies, put
28:28
two satellites in the air for 150 million
28:30
each, or two sets of
28:33
satellites. We went on both
28:35
of them. And
28:37
everybody said, oh, you can't do that. I said,
28:39
well, we just did it. And your affiliates are
28:42
all going to be pissed on terrestrial. Well, it
28:44
doesn't matter. I'm going on both of them. I'm
28:46
in the content delivery business and that makes me
28:48
platform agnostic. And so I'm
28:50
not going to bet the farm, talk
28:52
about risk, on one platform.
28:55
And so we screwed
28:58
around with YouTube and messed with it in the early
29:00
days. And it kind of limped along.
29:03
And then in the last 36
29:05
months, it's become a huge platform.
29:09
Guy walked in my office and said
29:11
he had this crazy idea, I don't
29:13
know, 15 years ago, 10 years
29:15
ago, he said, you know, broadband is
29:18
here, dial-up is gone. We
29:20
need to do one of these podcasts. And I said, what the? What's
29:23
a podcast? And he's
29:25
like, whatever. And I'm like, well, okay. But I'll
29:28
try it, I guess. Well, nobody in talk radio wanted
29:30
to do them because they're all worried about their affiliates
29:32
or worried about putting up a paywall or whatever. We
29:34
didn't put up a paywall. We just put it out
29:36
there. And it's huge.
29:38
I mean, we've had, we're number
29:40
one, two, five, somewhere in there bouncing
29:43
around on Apple now, a
29:45
billion downloads. It's crazy. But we're
29:47
platform agnostic because that'll go away.
29:51
It'll be MySpace someday. And
29:54
it'll change. And so I'm not going to
29:56
bet the farm on one. We just, we're
29:58
on everything all the time. If anyone
30:00
of them wants to be pissed off, then I'm
30:02
just not going to be able to be on it
30:04
because we're not giving you an exclusive. And
30:07
by the way, really quick, the days. That's
30:10
given us the foundation to grow and change. And
30:12
so, I mean, someday I'll be a freaking hologram in your
30:14
living room. You know, I mean, I don't know. Well,
30:18
are you, do you feel any pressure? We'll leave it with
30:20
this last bit here. Do you feel any pressure to be
30:22
early? You know, meaning, you know,
30:25
Rogan gets to podcasts early and he benefits
30:27
from that for being real. You
30:29
guys get to YouTube early and they benefit
30:31
from that because it takes, it's nobody's an
30:33
overnight success. They grind, they grind, they grind,
30:35
and then you explode, right? On these platforms.
30:37
So, what not? That's TikTok or whatever's next
30:39
day. Do you feel pressure? I got to
30:41
be there early with my content? We
30:45
get there early just because we'll
30:47
try anything. But again, we
30:49
got on TikTok and I hate it. I
30:51
hate TikTok, but on a personal level, but
30:54
it's fabulous for business. We
30:57
just got back from a trip and I was in Iceland
30:59
and a kid runs over to me 23 years old. He
31:02
goes, you're that guy on TikTok. I mean, good God.
31:04
Where else do you get that? You
31:07
know? So, you know, it's, you
31:09
know, so yeah, we're going to be there early, but again,
31:11
I'm not, we're not going to put
31:13
all our weight over there until the thing starts
31:16
giving us reason to put weight on it. We're
31:18
just going to touch it. Just
31:20
enter into it gradually. And that's why
31:22
even though we were on podcasts before
31:24
Rogan, he kicked our butts in the
31:26
podcast world. But overall,
31:28
we kick his butt on the overall
31:30
footprint. So, you
31:32
know, but that, but again, he was trying
31:34
to do that one thing and he's the
31:37
world's best at that. He's really good. Joe's
31:39
show's incredible. Right. Well,
31:42
like you said, you've been the guy that somebody runs up
31:44
to you and says, I listened to you on radio. Now
31:47
you're the guy, you're that guy from TikTok. So we
31:49
get the point. Nobody knows where the industry's headed.
31:51
You might as well be everywhere to see where it will
31:53
go. It's been an awesome
31:55
conversation. Dave Ramsey will check you out, by
31:58
the way, on TikTok, YouTube, radio. books and
32:00
everywhere else you are with Ramsey Solutions. Thanks
32:02
so much for being on the Will Kane
32:04
show today Dave. Well our honor
32:06
to be with you. You guys are doing a great job. Thanks
32:08
for having me. All
32:10
right take care. There he goes. Dave
32:13
Ramsey again you can check him out. He's got multiple
32:15
best sellers. You
32:17
can obviously catch him on radio and
32:19
podcast. It's Entre leadership podcast and the
32:21
Ramsey show on radio.
32:24
Of course he's where we are here. Facebook,
32:26
YouTube and everywhere you get
32:29
your content. Hey he brought up
32:31
satellites. Last night I
32:33
was having a real you know country boy
32:36
night. It was good. It felt like I was like
32:38
a man in the desert who'd finally found an oasis
32:41
drinking water or a plant that's finally been potted back
32:43
into its soil. I had family night back up in
32:45
North Texas in the country and we went frog gigging
32:48
and we're standing out there and the
32:50
frogs are you know croaking
32:54
and my son looks up and goes what is that? Which
32:57
I mean he's up in the sky. All the stars are
32:59
out. You can see everything out there in
33:02
the country and it was a string of
33:04
greenish bluish lights. I'd
33:07
say about oh man not
33:10
that high up you know a couple
33:13
thousand feet up in the air. Lower than the
33:16
than forget commercial air flights. I'm
33:18
lower than you know your personal
33:21
aviation crafts and
33:23
it's just real silently moving across
33:25
the sky. What is that?
33:28
A string of lights. Was
33:31
it aliens? That's next. Plus
33:35
they finally admit the truth but why now
33:38
about Donald Trump and calling
33:40
Nazis very fun people on The Wilkain Show.
33:57
Or wherever you download podcasts.
34:00
Yeah, it's
34:02
notable. It's
34:09
interesting. Maybe it's important
34:12
that Snopes, self-anointed
34:15
fact checker, finally admits that Donald Trump did
34:17
not call Nazis very fine people.
34:20
But maybe the more important point is
34:22
why. It's The Will Kane

34:41
mean, my memory is failing. The
34:43
older that I get, somebody asked me, hey, what's
34:45
some of the favorite interviews you've ever done? And
34:48
I'm like, I don't know. I need to sit down and make
34:50
a list. And then somebody separately asked me, who
34:52
have you ever interviewed that is just like, wow, that's not
34:54
the person I thought they would be. And I was like,
34:56
I don't know. My memory is failing and I need to
34:58
write all this down. Or
35:00
you could subscribe to The Will Kane Show on YouTube and
35:02

Robbins, Dave Ramsey, Dave
35:12
Portnoy and more right
35:14
here by subscribing to
35:16
The Will Kane Show on YouTube. So
35:20
last night, decided
35:23
to do a little frog gigging. My oldest son had a
35:25
friend visiting from New York. So we were like, well, let's
35:27
just get as country as we can get. So we loaded
35:29
up in like a 1984 Bronco,
35:31
which looked like a murder starters
35:34
kit. We had several shotguns, a
35:37
frog gig in pole, chemicals, rope.
35:40
It looked like we were out ready to, you
35:43
know, become the next Richard Ramirez. But
35:45
instead we were just looking to take
35:47
down some frogs. We didn't. We
35:49
failed. You know what's shocking about frog gigging?
35:52
By the way, we don't kill them. We got a real
35:55
cool frog gig in pole. It doesn't stab them. It just
35:57
kind of snaps close. Some
35:59
jaws. around their body and then you can pry open the
36:02
jaws and they're fine you can let them go but
36:04
you know you hear all this racket from
36:06
frogs and when you finally spot one often
36:08
I mean they're tiny so you
36:11
got to get that deep croaker you got to
36:13
get that belly that deep thing
36:15
coming from the the depths of Hades when you
36:17
know you got a big fat frog and I'm
36:19
talking we've caught some that are I
36:21
mean they're dripping out of your hands and you it's a
36:24
two-hander for sure but
36:26
instead of getting frogs last night we looked up and
36:30
two days in young establishment James maybe
36:32
most importantly tinfoil Pat my
36:35
son saw this string of lights across the sky what
36:38
is that now I already
36:40
put on social media what it was so you guys
36:42
know you probably know because I said what
36:44
it was because we googled immediately but
36:47
it was creepy it's like what is
36:49
that and it turns out this string
36:51
of bluish green lights yes silently
36:54
moving from one end of the sky to the other it's
36:59
starlink oh no that's
37:01
satellite that's such a let down I
37:03
thought it was something I know but it was a fun it was
37:06
a fun five minutes before it was ruined by Google
37:09
it was a fun five minutes of what
37:11
is that I you don't believe
37:14
in satellites tinfoil I think
37:18
that they're probably some in low orbit like
37:21
starlink but the fact that you can't
37:23
get reception in the desert doesn't make
37:26
any sense uh-huh it
37:28
shouldn't be oh and then if
37:30
I go out in the desert with a
37:32
little handheld Sirius XM thing
37:34
I can't I can't get Dave Ramsey probably
37:37
not also
37:39
not sure that's true tinfoil pretty
37:42
sure 98% of the internet
37:45
connections on earth are via deep
37:48
trench wire
37:51
connections from continent
37:53
to continent so I don't know
37:55
I just think a lot a lot of people being
37:57
told is a little bit fascinating Okay,
38:00
let me thank you for that. I'm gonna squint for a little while and see
38:02
if I can see what you're talking about What
38:06
what do you got to a day so what
38:08
are you trying to get to know what frog
38:10
gigging is? What in the
38:12
world are you talking about and what is
38:14
that and no? Thank you
38:17
catching frogs? You're cool. Oh,
38:19
what are you talking about? I'm not touching frogs you
38:21
nuts Slimy
38:23
you guys are pans. What is wrong
38:26
with you? There's no way It
38:29
is super fun. I don't know I'm I'm
38:32
certainly no professional. I'll tell you how we
38:34
do it Go
38:36
out onto the onto the back 40 got
38:38
we got a place with several ponds Tanks
38:41
right load up into a bronco or something like
38:43
that and have several spotlights, you
38:45
know hard, you know Directional
38:48
spotlighting, you know like a cop when he pulls you over
38:50
and asks you for your ID and
38:52
you listen for the deep croaking Right you got
38:54
it. There'll be a lot of frogs making a
38:57
Ton of racket, but a big one a
38:59
big bullfrog is super deep James
39:03
you think you're that guy in police academy
39:05
that is really good at making noises, but
39:07
you're not man. You're just not I don't
39:09
know what you just did So
39:18
anyway once you hear it Then you spotlight
39:20
the banks of the of the pond and
39:22
if you catch two little shining lights That's
39:24
their eyes and once you spotlight them
39:26
They'll freeze pretty much they won't move and then you
39:28
creep up behind them and we've got a big frog
39:31
gig and pole Right. It's like, you know, it's long.
39:33
It's probably 20 feet long No,
39:36
you come up behind. It's got some jaws on the end of
39:38
it And it's got a little like
39:41
when it was a little pressure like that the
39:43
jaws will close, right? And even
39:45
if it happened to you, I mean they're pronged, but they're
39:47
not sharp So the frog can't slip
39:49
out, but it doesn't cut into the frog. So it's
39:51
humane. So Exactly
39:55
so you come up behind them and
39:57
then you you get them with your gig and pole Then
40:00
you pull them up in the eyes. I mean
40:03
if you look back on my social media. I'll
40:05
go find one I'm a I'll update it on
40:07
my Instagram see will Kane You'll see some monsters
40:09
that we've gotten a couple years ago. It was
40:12
struck out last night, but that's frog gigging So
40:15
weird, what do you do with great fun? Texas is a
40:17
weird place, man Well,
40:20
I don't know that's just Texas, but You
40:23
know with our poll we can throw them back if
40:25
you if you get the kind that Stab them then
40:28
you're gonna you have you're signing up for some
40:30
frog legs And you'd
40:32
eat frog legs. They're like chicken. I would try I
40:34
would Thank
40:41
you tin foil sounds fake all right
40:43
I'll tell you what was fake was
40:45
the idea that Donald Trump called Nazis
40:48
very fine people Seven
40:50
years ago in the wake of Charlottesville That's
40:53
what was claimed by everyone everyone
40:56
everyone in mainstream media and to
40:58
this day By Joe Biden
41:00
Joe Biden said that moment in Charlottesville inspired
41:02
him to run for president The idea that
41:05
Donald Trump got up there and said there's
41:07
very fine people on both sides including the
41:09
Nazis That is what you would hear
41:12
I don't know what you would hear today But
41:14
I can guarantee you that's what you would hear
41:16
for the better part of the last half decade
41:19
on CNN Finally this
41:22
week just the other day late last week Snopes
41:24
a self-styled fact checker admits
41:28
Donald Trump did not call
41:31
Nazis very fine people This
41:34
wasn't a hard fact check by the way It
41:36
should have taken seven years because all one had
41:38
to do was listen listen
41:41
to what he had to say
41:43
beyond a very tightly self-selected and
41:45
edited clip or Beyond
41:47
the characterization and paraphrase
41:50
of some untrustworthy quote-unquote
41:52
fact checker or journalist
41:54
Just listen to Donald
41:56
Trump like I'm gonna allow
41:58
you to do right now what
42:00
he said back then in Charlottesville.
42:04
But you also had people that were
42:08
very fine people on both sides. You
42:11
had people in that group, excuse me, excuse
42:13
me, I saw the same pictures as you
42:15
did. You had people in
42:17
that group that were there to
42:19
protest the taking down of, to them,
42:21
a very, very important statue and the
42:23
renaming of a park from Robert E.
42:25
Lee to another name. George
42:29
Washington was a slave owner. Was
42:31
George Washington a slave owner? So
42:34
will George Washington now lose his status? Are
42:36
we going to take down, excuse me, are
42:38
we going to take down, are we going
42:41
to take down statues to George Washington? How
42:43
about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of
42:45
Thomas Jefferson? You like him? Okay,
42:48
good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because
42:50
he was a major slave owner. Now we're
42:52
going to take down his statue. So
42:54
you know what? It's fine. You're
42:56
changing history, you're changing culture, and you
42:58
had people, and I'm not talking about
43:01
the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because
43:03
they should be condemned totally, but
43:05
you had many people in that
43:08
group other than neo-Nazis and white
43:10
nationalists, okay? And the press has
43:12
treated them absolutely unfairly.
43:17
So amazing. He
43:20
explicitly had said, I'm
43:23
not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white
43:26
nationalists. They should be condemned.
43:29
That was in his words, repeated on
43:31
twice occasions. But he
43:33
also acknowledged that there
43:35
was a legitimate debate to be had
43:37
with sincere people that he called very
43:40
fine people about the merits of the
43:42
protest that day in
43:44
Charlottesville. Now are
43:46
we suggesting that everyone who opposes Robert
43:49
E. Lee's statues being taken down
43:51
or Thomas Jefferson's or
43:53
George Washington's are Nazis? Is
43:56
that the implication? Because I think that's pretty extreme.
44:01
position to hold. He's suggesting,
44:03
hey, there was legitimate debate. By the way,
44:05
those people were permitted, the ones that had
44:08
a legitimate debate point. The
44:10
counter protesters were not permitted,
44:12
and the neo-Nazis and the white
44:14
nationalists not permitted, and he condemned those
44:17
people. But somehow that got clipped, reduced,
44:19
and repeated ad nauseam that Donald Trump
44:21
called Nazis very fine people. Now there's
44:23
a chance for many of you listening,
44:26
that's the first time you've heard that
44:28
clip in full. There's
44:30
a chance that in your mind it was still like, well he
44:32
did, didn't he? Because it was just repeated. You
44:34
know, it was just repeated on loop. And
44:38
that's what the press did. And
44:40
that was a lie. That was fake.
44:43
That was a hoax. Like
44:45
so many other hoaxes, like
44:48
the Steele dossier, right? The Russia collusion
44:50
hoax. Like the fact that
44:53
America and Donald Trump knew that
44:55
Russia was paying bounties to kill American
44:57
citizens. Like the Hunter Biden laptop is
45:00
Russian disinformation hoax. And on
45:02
and on and on. There's several people
45:04
out there who have collected and it
45:06
numbers well into the 20s. Above the
45:08
20s, the number of hoaxes that have
45:10
just been accepted because they get repeated
45:14
on loop by the quote-unquote
45:17
respectable members of the media. But
45:19
when you hear something like I just played for
45:22
you, and you measure that against the story that
45:24
was sold to you, how do
45:26
you ever trust them again? Now,
45:29
there are still people that just won't believe
45:31
it. I saw after Snopes pushed this out
45:33
this week, people commenting, who got to Snopes?
45:36
Is there a Trump member on their board?
45:39
You know, on and on. We all heard him say it. We
45:42
can believe our eyes and our ears. Did you hear him
45:44
see it? Say it? Did you ever hear
45:46
the clip I just played for you? Did you
45:49
hear exactly what he just said? There
45:52
are some people who still just would
45:55
rather believe the lie than to hear the truth. But
45:58
I think the most interesting question may be, Why now? For
46:01
Snopes. I
46:03
mean, why? Seven years later. Why
46:05
now admit to the truth? It's been obvious for
46:07
quite some time. It was obvious from day one
46:09
you could listen to that full clip in context.
46:11
It didn't take deep investigative research. So
46:14
why now? Hmm.
46:18
That's interesting, right? Will
46:20
Joe Biden repeat that lie on Thursday
46:22
night in the CNN presidential debate, which will be
46:24
simulcast on Fox? He said
46:26
it's why he ran for president. Will the campaign
46:28
continue to, as they have for years now, say
46:31
that Donald Trump called white nationalists very fine people?
46:35
Will anybody fact check it? Will he bring up Snopes?
46:39
If so, why are they selling out
46:41
Joe Biden right now? One of the main pillars of
46:44
his reason for running for president. Why
46:47
would they take away that talking point?
46:49
Why now? Less
46:52
than good news for Donald Trump makes me wonder.
46:56
Fact checkers who obviously have no interest in checking
46:58
facts might
47:02
be less about good news for Donald Trump. Might
47:04
be really bad news for
47:06
Joe Biden. All right. I
47:09
paid my debt to Tyrus. Muscle
47:11
shirt, mini championship
47:14
belt, backward hat, all
47:17
for your viewing pleasure this past weekend on
47:20
Fox and Friends weekend. I'll
47:22
pay that debt forward to you next on The
47:24
Will Kane Show. Man,
47:34
my word, paid my debts, paid Tyrus
47:38
for the Mavericks losing the Celtics on Fox
47:40
and Friends weekend. That's coming up here on
47:42
The Will Kane Show streaming live at Fox

47:55
The Will Kane Show and become a part of our
47:57
community like Eric Reed, who said, I
48:00
disagree with Dave Ramsey. Productivity
48:03
and company growth skyrocketed for most
48:05
companies while most worked from home.
48:08
I don't think that's factually true, Eric.
48:10
I think that most research suggested that
48:12
productivity went down during the pandemic
48:14
and worked from home. I'm happy to hear the
48:16
stats that you have, the research, and I'm
48:18
happy to grab mine, but my understanding
48:21
is Dave is right. Productivity
48:23
went down during work from home. Mark
48:26
Wells says, bro, how on earth is anyone
48:28
voting for Biden? Would his voters
48:30
even let him drive their car? That
48:32
is such a really good
48:34
hypothetical. Would you let
48:36
Joe Biden drive you and
48:38
rush our traffic to work? Would
48:42
you let Joe Biden run America? Brandon
48:46
Conner says on X, I
48:48
actually listened to Dave Ramsey in 2007 to get out of debt, and
48:52
here we are. I'm debt free. That's
48:54
great. Brandon, I'm sure it's not just
48:56
financially healthy, but as Dave pointed out,
48:59
it's actually physically healthy. It's a
49:02
lot of cortisol out of your system. Good
49:04
for your stress levels. James Fa
49:06
on X says, young people are too lazy to
49:09
buy a home. They're waiting for mom and dad
49:11
to leave theirs. I don't know, James. I
49:14
don't know. You know, there's a lot of things to criticize.
49:18
Future generations, younger generations about
49:21
everybody wants to
49:23
acquire wealth. I don't know
49:25
that laziness is driving their lack of
49:27
desire in homeownership. Although I will
49:30
say to your point, there's more and
49:32
more people living at home at later and later ages.
49:35
Denise Mize Beatt says on YouTube,
49:37
the poor economy is trivial in
49:39
comparison to what Biden has done
49:41
to this country on so many
49:43
other fronts, open borders for starters.
49:46
And Dawn on YouTube says, what poor
49:48
economy? There are
49:51
some who think the economy is going great. That's
49:53
kind of what Dave talks about. It's weird.
49:56
It's a weird economy where there's a lot
49:58
of insecurity, obviously high inflation, correspondingly high
50:00
interest rates, threats to commercial real estate.
50:03
If commercial real estate fails, threats to
50:05
banks. If banks fail, threat to the
50:08
economy and recession. Those are
50:10
all real. Pressure on
50:12
the poor and working class
50:14
members of America because
50:19
inflation is a tax on the poor. But
50:21
yet there's a lot of people walking around going, it's going fine for me. Everything's
50:24
going fine for me. Hmm,
50:27
just makes me feel like we're skating out on thin ice in
50:29
the middle of a pond. All
50:31
right, so I made a bet with Tyrus. Maverick,
50:34
Celtics, NBA finals. I never felt real good about
50:36
the bets. I'm not even sure why I did
50:38
it, but the bet was I would
50:41
have to wear some attire of Tyrus'
50:43
choosing. I sure had to say I love Tyrus,
50:45
whatever it may be on Fox and
50:47
Friends. My co-host this weekend, Rachel Campos-Duffy and
50:49
Charlie Hurt filming for Pete Hekstead, didn't know
50:52
what was gonna go down. Producers didn't know. I just
50:54
said, hey, in the nine o'clock hour, I
50:56
need a little bit of time here. I gotta pay a
50:59
bet. And this is how it
51:01
went on Fox and Friends weekend. A
51:04
small bet with Tyrus here. You look like you're
51:06
in the middle of a hulk. That I would
51:08
have to be up. I hope you're watching Tyrus.
51:10
Oh, God, and it's a muscle shirt. This is
51:13
horrible. This is worse than I thought. What is
51:15
this, like, oh my. It's not over,
51:17
Rachel. Oh, oh,
51:19
oh, you have to dress like Tyrus. Oh,
51:22
I'm not saying. I lost every piece
51:24
of dignity and apparatus needed to do
51:26
this show this morning. There
51:29
you go. There you go. Okay, I'll
51:31
do it. Boston Celtics champion Tyrus. This
51:34
is real. Dignity sacrificed. There
51:37
we go. You're listening on
51:40
podcast or radio. Sleeveless. And
51:44
as the boys pointed out here in the list, pretty
51:46
pale. Pretty pale. A little bit of
51:48
farmer's tan or a TV tan on the face. Yeah,
51:52
guys, I mean, I would say,
51:54
you know, dignity sacrificed, you
51:56
know, how do you go from that to interviewing the
51:58
president? But, I mean, I... I hate to hold
52:00
up my championship belt and your scoreboard, but I
52:03
just did interview a former president in Donald Trump.
52:05
So somehow I'm pulling it off. Call
52:08
me Matt Lauer, I guess, not the other parts of Matt
52:10
Lauer, but you know the ability to make a fool of
52:12
yourself and interview a president.
52:15
Well, I think the little belt's pretty dope, actually.
52:17
It's kind of cool. The shirt was all right,
52:19
looks like you work out in it. The hat
52:21
just doesn't do it for you, I'm sorry to
52:23
say. That was
52:25
bad, that was a bad look? Yeah, just not for you. Some
52:27
people can't pull it off, some people can. And
52:29
tires can, you cannot. I'll just put that
52:32
up there. What, you're
52:34
saying ball cap in general or the backwards hat? Backwards
52:36
hat, for sure. You're a forward hat guy. Yeah, you're
52:38
a forward hat guy. I
52:41
am definitely a forward hat guy. I
52:44
can't imagine a scenario where I would show up like
52:47
side of the sideline of the soccer
52:49
field, the boys are playing, I'm over
52:51
there rocking a backwards, a backwards fitted
52:53
hat. I just can't imagine this scenario.
52:55
I hate to like, you
52:57
know, follow Colin Coward's lead, but
53:00
I don't, backwards hats, not a
53:02
great look. Just not a good look. Unless
53:05
you're middle school or young or something, or
53:08
Tyrus, but I don't want him to be mad at
53:10
me. Or like a surfer, I guess
53:12
maybe like you just got out of, you just got done
53:14
surfing, so you just throw the hat on backwards maybe. If
53:16
you have long hair. Yeah. Yeah.
53:21
The flow. I think Pete could pull it off. Also by
53:23
the way, Pete's got gray hair,
53:26
James. I mean, it's
53:28
a vibe. I actually think Pete does wear it. I
53:30
actually think Pete does wear a backwards hat. He would.
53:33
Now that you say that, he
53:35
would, what I would wore that day, I
53:37
think Pete would wear in
53:39
sincerity with earnestness. He
53:41
would wear a basketball jersey, tank top, you
53:43
know, and a backwards hat. I
53:46
think he definitely would. With the tats and everything, yeah. I
53:48
think I have too. I think I
53:50
have. No,
53:53
not big on the visor either. I'm
53:56
not a visor guy. I don't think that's a
53:58
good, I don't see that look. It doesn't work. You
54:00
have to be a college football coach to pull that off. Like
54:04
a 90s golfer. 90s
54:08
college football coach like Steve Spurrier. Vijay Singh used to wear
54:10
that on PGA Tour. Yeah.
54:16
The tank top, I'm just also, I've never been
54:18
a tank top guy. Now, I don't, don't, I
54:20
mean, McAfee's got that market cornered and it looks
54:22
normal on him. Like you don't even think, hey,
54:24
that guy's wearing a tank top. But
54:27
I put on tank top and it's screaming. That dude's
54:30
got on a tank top. But that wasn't a tank
54:32
top. That was a cut off shirt. That was like
54:34
a cut with scissors shirt,
54:36
which is like a basketball look. You
54:38
know what I mean? That like really short
54:40
end basketball look. So
54:42
just, it's a tough one to pull off again, but
54:45
you know, get some tan on those bad boys. I
54:47
was just happy. I will,
54:49
I will. I'll get some tan. Keep,
54:52
I want to keep the chest hair for making
54:54
a national TV, you know, starring performance. That's all
54:56
that. I was a little happy. That's all that.
54:58
When I look back on it, I,
55:00
that was my favorite. My, I was, I was most
55:02
happy that it, there was not
55:04
a starring performance for the chest hair. It
55:07
was mainly remains hidden. So, leave it for
55:09
the podcast. All
55:14
right, so there you go, Tyrus. Tyrus Smash.
55:17
That was what my t-shirt said. That is also his
55:19
social media profile. There you go. Debt paid.
55:21
Man of my word. And
55:24
looks like I now get a little mini championship belt.
55:27
Championship belt for losers. Paying
