Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the second hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We are joined now by our friend Eric Trump. He is of course, one of President Trump's sons, a guy I've known since we were both in grade school. And he's doing amazing things running the Trump Organization, as you all know. He's also got a new book out, Under Siege My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation. And a portion of the proceeds will go to Turning Point USA to help continue Charlie Kirk's mission. Eric, thanks for making the time for us, guys.
- [03:30]
Eric Trump
It's great to be back on.
- [03:31]
Buck Sexton
Talk to us if you would for a second here about the because we just, we have to dive into this news of the day. I think it hit everybody like, I don't know if it was that much of a surprise given what, what a jerk he's been lately. But what's your take on the Kimmel indefinite suspension?
- [03:48]
Eric Trump
Listen, the guy has been a jerk. He hasn't been funny. But honestly, I think the network uses a way to get him out based on bad ratings. Look at what the ratings are on ABC and NBC and CBS right now relative to call it some of the other shows, even the cable shows. Look at my wife, look at Laura. Her show's getting 2.6, 2.8 million people on a Saturday night. And you look at CNN during the week and if they can pull 5, 6, 700,000 people, it's like they're doing great for themselves. It clearly show that the content is not working. People are no longer amused. It's not funny to make fun of 31 year old kids who are getting assassinated on any soil, certainly not US Soil, especially somebody who is as beloved as our friend Charlie. And I'm glad they got rid of this jerk.
- [04:34]
Clay Travis
Eric, where were you when you found out about what happened to Charlie Kirk last week? And what was your immediate reaction? Because you've got young kids like he does and like Buck does. And my kids are getting a little bit older. But you travel around, you do a lot of public events, so does your wife. What was your reaction when you saw that?
- [04:53]
Eric Trump
You know, honestly guys, I hate to say it, but it's like deja vu to Butler, right? I mean, I walked into my office, my sister came running up to me, literally grabbed me. She goes, you know, Charlie shot. And it looks like Charlie's dead. I mean, it was right after. And obviously at that point it was making its round on social media. And, you know, I, you know, you look at the movement of the body and you knew it was devastating. And you know me, I've competed in all the shooting sports my entire life. You know, you could tell it was a high power rifle. I could tell instantly that was high power rifle just by the sound of the shot. And my heart sank. I mean, Charlie was a friend. I've been on the stage with him 100 times as you guys have. We've done a lot of events together over the last 10 years, and I've stood on that same stage a thousand times myself in swing states all across the country. There were times leading up to elections where we're doing five, six events like that a day all over every victory office, every factory, every, you know, standing on top of John Deere tractors with a bullhorn. And, you know, I mean, my heart sunk. A young guy who created one of the greatest political movements in this country, who changed the entire youth vote in the United States. And, you know, they thought they could get rid of some guy's voice by using a bullet to expunge somebody's life. And honestly, when you look at, you know, 1.4 million people march across London, when you see Pretoria, South Africa and marches in honor of Charlie, when you see churches full all across the country in the days that follow, you know, they only cemented his legacy. They didn't expunge his legacy. They cemented his legacy. And, you know, and Charlie, Charlie lives on. And, you know, we can never leave that stage, guys. I will never, ever, ever get off that stage. And I think he was a great inspiration for all.
- [06:30]
Buck Sexton
Well, he is, and certainly your father continues to be. And that moment you mentioned, Butler, where fortunately a very different outcome there for that day with respect to your father and that he was able to pump his fist in the air and tell everyone to continue to fight. Eric, probably the most iconic single moment, I think, in my life in American politics. I don't know of anything that would really compete with that. The power of that visual. And I know in your book, My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation, you get into a lot of this. One of the good things, though, is that this is the greatest political comeback and, and really the most inspiring, I think, story of overcoming a lot of the forces of darkness in this country just by telling your family's story. And telling about what you, your brother, your sister, your, you know, your dad, what you've all been through.
- [07:25]
Eric Trump
Yeah. So, guys, I started working on this three years ago and, and you know, I was the guy, I ran the whole company. So everything outside of Washington D.C. and the family really fell on my shoulders. And, you know, all of a sudden it was Impeachment one, it was impeachment two, it was the Russia hoax. It was a dirty dossier. I was getting calls from the FBI secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower, you know, communicating directly with the Kremlin. It was obviously a total sham. You know, then they sent every DA, every AG after us, whether it was New York or Washington D.C. or Fulton County, Georgia. You know, the stories of all those. I got 112 subpoenas. I became the most subpoenaed person in American history, you know, by these radicals. And they took us off of Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. They took my father off the ballot in Colorado and then. And then in Maine, you know, they came after us, they came after our employees. They raided Mar A Lago, they raided our homes. I mean, it was nonstop siege. They wanted to bankrupt us. They wanted to see us gone. They wanted to take away our voice. They wanted the dozens of gag orders we all had and these nonsense cases, all of which we won. And the vast majority of them fell on my shoulders because again, they came after the company based on the fact that my father had constitutional protections. And, you know, and we beat these guys. We beat them back at every single instance. And. And so I started writing this book, Under Siege, because that's what they wanted to do. And then, you know, I had my two kids on my lap when, when Butler came around and, you know, watched my father's head almost get blown off while having a, you know, five and seven year old sitting on my lap. Four and six year old actually at that time sitting on my lap. I mean, in high definition tv and, you know, it's, you know, and then obviously I saw them trying to do it again in, you know, Tom at the golf course. And then I saw what happened to, to Charlie. And that's what they wanted, guys. They wanted our voices gone, they wanted our movement gone. They wanted my father gone. They wanted me off that stage, they wanted Don off that stage. They sure as hell don't like you guys for everything you stand for and how principled the two of you guys have been. And that's what Under Siege is about. It's about all the behind the scenes stories of how they tried to just decimate us. The corruption of government. And frankly, and thank God, how we won, how we triumphed in something that was such an impossible. I mean, endless fight that went on for.
- [09:34]
Donald Trump
Can I just.
- [09:35]
Buck Sexton
One thing I want to ask Eric is Clay told me this from the. I refused to read the Snake Tapper book because I just felt like it was trying. You know, he's the arsonist who's then calling the fire department. Right. It just felt too. But one interesting revelation from the book, and Clay read the whole book, so I appreciate that.
- [09:53]
Clay Travis
I did it so everybody else didn't have to do it.
- [09:55]
Buck Sexton
He jumped on that hand grenade for the rest of us. We appreciated that one. But I.
- [10:00]
Clay Travis
That.
- [10:00]
Buck Sexton
That Biden was behind closed doors, constantly with glee in his eyes, talking about how your dad was gonna go to prison. Does that surprise you at all? Like, did you think that there was still some sense of fair play in that Biden White House, but then when that came out, or did you know that that was that really the whole time they wanted to lock your dad in a cell?
- [10:21]
Eric Trump
Guys, I was the one when they raided Mar? A Lago. Who's shouting on TV at night, you think the FBI raided Mar? A Lago without the explicit permission of the President of the United States? Like, give me a fricking break. And by the way, the other interesting thing about Jake Capper. Laura was on his show. She was on c. She goes, listen, everybody realizes this guy doesn't have his mental faculties, and he starts screaming at her on the show. How are you the person to diagnose, you know, his. His cognitive abilities? Don't you think you're offending children with stutters around the country? And Laura, I mean, she would not put up with the nonsense. She fought right back. And then, sure enough, you know, you look at the title, and you can maybe remind me of the exact title, but it was like, you know, Biden's, you know, cognitive Decline and the COVID up by the mainstream media sitting there saying, the irony of this when six to apologize. Like, you know, the irony of this when you're sitting there, you know, yelling at Lara Trump for saying that. We all realize, everybody in this country realizes that the guy's not exactly the sharpest tool in the.
- [11:18]
Buck Sexton
He said Laura was making fun of his stutter.
- [11:21]
Eric Trump
Yeah, yeah.
- [11:22]
Buck Sexton
Which is just insane.
- [11:23]
Eric Trump
Yeah. And it screamed at her for, quote, unquote, diagnosing Biden and not having a PhD. I mean, give me. Give me a break. And then he writes a book about how, you know, the media misled the world. And I mean, the great irony of this, but, you know, that's why, honestly, that's example 9820 of why people detest the mainstream media in this country and why, honestly, independent voices like yours, you know, are moving the needle and why no one watches cbs and why, you know, people like Jimmy Kimmel are getting fired and, you know, so on.
- [11:54]
Clay Travis
Under Siege is the book. My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation. We're talking with Eric Trump. You are a business guy. You're traveling all over the world doing deals. And one place that I think is emblematic of how much the culture has shifted is suddenly everybody wants to play on your family's fantastic golf courses again. I know that that's a good thing, but does a part of you just think, when these deals get done, man, so many of these business people are complete and total cowards. Your dad was right. In 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, they try to cancel him. They K off, and then he wins the popular vote. He's now standing, you know, doing toast with the king and queen of England last night. And all these business guys suddenly, you know, they show back up and they're like, oh, we always loved you. Oh, let's go with D. I mean, this is. Is business one of the most shameless places on the planet in general, because you guys are grinding for years, and now everybody loves you, but it's got to be a part of. You's got to be like, give me a break.
- [12:56]
Eric Trump
I got canceled guys by every bank in the country for doing nothing wrong. Only because I chose to wear a Make America Great Again hat. I'm talking about golf courses in upstate New York, things that had absolutely nothing to do with politics. Things, you know, entities that have been around for 25 years that had been perfect customers. And they turned us off. Capital One, the worst of all of them, turned us off like we were dogs. I mean, they canceled 300 accounts in the middle of the night. And then all of a sudden, every single day, I get calls from the heads of the. And you would know the names of every single one of them. They're the biggest bankers on Wall Street. Hi, Eric. You know, we really miss the relationship, and we'd really love to get back together. I mean, is there a way that you could come over my house? I'd love to take you to dinner. I'd love you to treat. You know, it'd be great if we could try and rekindle the relationship. And I'm sitting there, guys, and I have very little Tolerance for this nonsense. You know, especially now I'm over trying to, you know, hide feelings, and, you know, I'm not into the pageantry of this stuff. And you're sitting there saying, you dirty. Can't say it on the radio, guy. You know, like, I remember and I will not forget. And, you know, it is. It is shameless. Listen, Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg's come around in a big way, and I actually legitimately believe he loves my father and loves our family, and I have a nice relationship with him now, but he was sitting behind me at inauguration. It was the first time I've ever met him. And I'm sitting there saying, you're sitting behind me at inauguration. Yet in 2020, you spent $400 million against this. You put 400. And by the way, you go on Facebook to try and find a polling location or a voting location, a ballot, and guess what? Every single one would come up for Biden. Not a single one would come up for Trump. It's like they rigged the algorithms. They put. They turned down everybody's dials, and now all of a sudden, everybody's smiling and happy. And, you know, I'm not saying that people can't change their mind. And I think he legitimately did and is legitimately on the team now. But it's, you know, sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue.
- [14:40]
Buck Sexton
Well, we really appreciate the story and also the fight that your family has put forth for the country. And it is. It is a phenomenal first year in this administration. We're not just saying this because he's your dad. Not just saying this, Eric, because I think I met you when you were 10 years old or something for the first time. But this is the truth. It has been an incredible first year. And what your dad has come through is the most amazing political battle in my lifetime, I think, in any of our lifetime. I don't think anything would come close to it.
- [15:12]
Eric Trump
And.
- [15:12]
Buck Sexton
And the fact that you're giving a portion of the proceeds of the book to Turning Point to continue on with, with Charlie's legacy, I think just speaks to how much you care about, well, your friend Charlie, his family, and also the mission that he left behind. So the book is under siege. My family's fight to save our nation. Go get your copies, Eric. Welcome anytime, my friend. Please come back soon.
- [15:35]
Eric Trump
Thanks, guys.

Clay Travis
Thanks to Eric Trump who just swung by and hung out with us. Obviously we have been talking a lot about the biggest news story I would say out there there, which is the Jimmy Kimmel firing in many ways. But there is much going on across the pond, although I believe President Trump has now boarded to fly back. But they just had a press conference and there Were many different comments made there. I don't think we've played any of these yet. Here was President Trump on Charlie Kirk.
- [21:03]
Donald Trump
Cut to just last week, a great American, Charlie Kirk was heinously assassinated for speaking his mind. He was a great young man, credible future. Some people said he might be president someday. I told him, I said, charlie, I think you have a good shot someday at being president. And he just wanted to take care of youth. He loved youth. He was. I've never seen anybody relate to youth like Charlie. And they related to him and they're devastated. But I appreciate the many British citizens who have offered their condolences.
- [21:38]
Clay Travis
And I think we were just talking with Eric, but I was watching the footage of the state dinner. I know we talked about it, but Trump going from every single social media company in the country, canceling him. You just heard Eric Trump saying, big banks overnight, canceling tons of their accounts and basically saying, we're not going to work with you. To the King and Queen of England giving him toasts at a state dinner featuring hundreds of people in an opulent setting there. The second state visit, which is almost unheard of. It is really the greatest comeback in American political history and one of the greatest comebacks in world political.
- [22:22]
Buck Sexton
I was going to say this. This beats Napoleon coming back after his first exile. And you know what I mean, this is like, this is truly epic, what Donald Trump has pulled off. And that's not the. In the generic usage of that term. A lot of people say. I mean, this is something that future historians and just people looking at the history of the era will think. This guy was facing four criminal lawsuits and the entire corporate and social media apparatus of America turned against him. And he won a resounding victory and then became the toast of the town and had an incredibly successful, obviously, first year. I think he's gonna have an incredibly successful second term. Nobody would believe it in the screenplay. It would be considered too fanciful for Hollywood. Even if you said a Democrat pulled this off, I think they would say, no way that could happen.
- [23:17]
Clay Travis
The books and movies written about the last five, seven years, the whole Trump era, are such that I wish I could read them 100 or 200 years from now. This is one of the things of being a history guy, is you like to read about past moments. We're living through moments that will be some of the most compelling stories that have ever been told for generations.
- [23:40]
Buck Sexton
Clay, if you had walked up to a microphone 10 years ago and said that Donald Trump, in this, running for president for what would be his successful second term, would take a bullet through the ear, be unfazed and yell fight, fight, fight into a microphone. People would have thought that you were insane.
- [24:00]
Clay Travis
Yeah, that happened.
- [24:02]
Buck Sexton
That is our reality, everybody. It's incredible. Look. We may see another historic opportunity for Main street investors. I believe it's going to happen again, and this time it's very tied in with artificial intelligence. Now, Trump is working hard to make these AI things happen and we will see substantial stock market gains if he's right in defense, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and so much more. There are going to be some explosive opportunities as artificial superintelligence transforms the US Economy. Truth is that most Americans will miss out on the biggest fortunes. I don't want that to happen to you. That's why I've lost a brand new financial intelligence project called Money and Power. I handle the power part. That's politics and insider access. And I got a phenomenal team of financial analysts to cover the money part, including my brother Mason.

Let's hit some of the news. Buck, by the way, is on his way to Miami. He and his family are traveling. So I've got you solo for the rest of the show tomorrow. By the way, Buck will have you solo because, and I'm looking forward to this, I am one of the keynotes for the Michigan Republican Party. Our friend Tutor Dixon is obviously very involved in that. She's part of the Clay and Buck podcast network. I'm going to be up at Mackinaw Island, Michigan for a big event there that is one of their signature events of the year. And obviously Michigan is one of the biggest battlegrounds anywhere, but also the home state of my wife Laura. And we got engaged on Mackinac Island. So it's kind of cool to, to go back 20, I'm doing the math in my head 23 years later and be doing a keynote there at the, at their event, which is at the Grand Hotel, which is one of the great hotels in America. And I could barely afford a hotel room there for one night when we got engaged 23 years ago. And now going back to help keynote one of the big events for the Michigan Republican Party. So, so very cool. And I am looking forward to doing that. And I imagine that some of you that are listening right now will be a part of that event going on there, which they do on an annual basis and is a very cool, is a very cool place to be doing that event. If you've never been before, I would have no idea. I've said this before and people always say, hey, shut up. You're giving away a secret. I did not know how spectacular northern Michigan was and still not know unless I had ended up married to a girl from Michigan. And especially in the summer, but also in the fall. I don't love cold weather. So some of you do love cold weather, but for basically every time but the winter, one of the greatest places in the country. And in the summer, oh, I mean, just absolutely spectacular up there. And you guys may remember I did the show for a while from Traverse City this summer. But so I'm excited to be back up there. But that is where I'll be on Friday. Not very easy to get in and out of that location. So I'll be traveling during the show tomorrow. Let's dive in to some of what happened at the state dinner and then we'll spend more time talking about the biggest story of the day and all the discussion surrounding it, which is the Jimmy Kimmel. The Jimmy Kimmel effectively being suspended, although I think it's going to end in a firing. Here is last night's state dinner. Some of you probably saw some of the video highlights yesterday afternoon evening saying that we must continue to stand for the values and people of the English speaking world. Cut 22. I thought this was particularly well said by Trump.
- [28:07]
Donald Trump
Listen, the bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It's irreplaceable and unbreakable. And we are as a country, as you know, doing unbelievably well. We had a very sick country one year ago and today I believe we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody is even questioning it. But we owe so much of that to you and the footing that you gave us when we started. Together, we've done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history. Together we must defend the exceptional heritage that makes us who we are. And we must continue to stand for the values and the people of the English speaking world. And we do indeed stand for that.
- [28:58]
Clay Travis
A couple of more cuts from that event, the state Dinner. Let me flip it over to the other side of the pond. Here is King Charles giving a toast to Trump and the First Lady. This happened yesterday.
- [29:11]
Donald Trump
Listen, Mr. President, Mrs. Trump. The bond between our two nations is indeed a remarkable one. Forged in the fire of conflict, it has been fortified through our shared endeavors and burnished by the deep affection between our people. Tested time and again, it has borne the weight of our common purpose and raised our ambition for a better world. So, in renewing our bond tonight, we do so with unshakable trust in our friendship and in our shared commitment to independence and liberty. Therefore, as we celebrate this unparalleled partnership, allow me to propose a toast to President Trump and the first lady, and to the health, prosperity, and happiness of the people of the United States of America.

Is it unfair to get to have the British accent? I feel like it adds multiple grade levels to what it sounds like you're saying. In other words, if you're a C level student and you have a British accent, it makes you feel like you're an A level student. If you're an A level student, it takes you into the stratosphere of genius, all because of the way you sound while you talk. I don't know that anywhere else likes the American accent. I don't think in England, they're listening to Trump and saying, you know what? This American accent, it just sounds so good. The British accent really is kind of an unfair advantage when it comes to argument. One more. Take 21. This is Trump again saying the state dinner is one of the highest honors of his life.

Donald Trump
Your Majesty, Melania and I are deeply grateful to you and Queen Camilla for your extraordinary graciousness. And to William and Kate, thank you so much. It's been so great being with you today. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. It's a singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here. And the. If you think about it, it's a lot of presidents, and this was the second state visit, and that's the first, and maybe that's going to be the last time. I hope it is, actually. But this is truly one of the highest honors of my life. Such respect for you and such respect for your country.

I don't think we talk about it enough as a society. I love that Trump said this is maybe the greatest partnership in the history of the world. I think he's right. And we are all in debts of gratitude for Western civilization and what it has provided all of us around the world, in terms of economic, in terms of basic human rights, in terms of all of the freedoms that we in many ways take for granted. They're all rooted in the exceptionalism of Western Civilization and much of so called, so called woke collective culture is really just about tearing down the fabric of Western civilization and arguing that it's rooted in illegitimacy. And once you see that that is what's going on, it becomes so important that all of us stand up and speak stridently and forthrightly in favor of Western civilization and basic human rights around the world, everywhere. And that's why it was so dastardly, that's why it was so pernicious. When the New York Times decided, hey, we're going to redefine American history through the prism of slavery as opposed to the American Revolution, because they knew exactly what they were doing. If, as Nikole Hannah Jones, for instance, in the New York Times, decided, they didn't say, hey, America's founding happened in 1492, you know how most people really don't talk about that? And when I'm saying 1492, obviously I'm talking about the discovery of the New World, Columbus, all of that. Because from 1492 to 1619, there was no slavery in the colonies. There was indentured servitude, but no slavery. So for whatever the math is on that, the first 140 years of the New World, there was no slavery, and then there was slavery from 1619 to 1863, but only about 80 years of that was the American Republic allowing slavery. So they don't take 1492 as the founding. They don't take 1776, when we declared independence and became a independent country, as the founding. They say 1619 is the founding of the United States because effectively, that's the time that the first slaves from Africa arrived on United States shore. And if this is really important, but if they can define America as fundamentally rooted in the illegitimacy of slavery, then they can tear down the entire fabric of the country. It's all very calculated. It's all based in story. How do we define the story of the United States? Is it one primarily defined by triumph, or is it one primarily defined by evil and, and an awful exploitation? If it is awful and exploitative, then everything that is built is rooted in a foundation of illegitimacy and hence can be swept away. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, none of it means anything. And that's what they're actually after. And I think Trump gets it. I know JD Vance gets it at his essence and at his core. And all of you, if you haven't really spent enough time thinking about it, spend more time thinking about it. All of this is rooted in Western civilization. And certainly Charlie Kirk got it. And in fact, if you look at that big picture and if you contemplate it, it's also rooted in religion in many ways. And even if you are listening to me right now and you are not religious, as I know some of you are, maybe even many of you, we all benefit from other people who are religious because their attempt to live a more honorable life benefits all of us. You sin less. You engage in violent behavior. Yeah. Less you think about the larger context of your life as you're going to be judged for it, which in general leads to better life choices. And all of that is rooted in Western civilization, which I do think Trump was right in that. Toast. The United States and England have historically stood for more than any countries in the world, at least in recent history. Now, what does it say that many of these countries that have basked in the legitimacy of Western civilization for a very long time, Italy, England, Germany, France, many of these Western European countries are now turning their back on Western civilization. We, and this is kind of wild to think about, have actually infected them with the WOKE virus. And it has run rampant, I would argue, in those countries even more now than it has here, where I think Trump is acting in many ways as an inoculation against the WOKE virus. It hasn't happened yet in Europe. And in fact, if you go back and look at the way that the WOKE virus has spread all throughout Western Europe, they blamed us for bringing it to them, and yet their countries may be more susceptible to it because they don't have a Donald Trump. Just think about it. I, I, I was, you know, nerd style as I watched some of that state dinner, thinking about the mutuality of impact and how Western Europe certainly has created the republic that we're fortunate enough to live in right now and how much smarter and better versed in history our founders were because they learned from all of recorded history the flaws that prior governments had made when they tried to build our own. And now this WOKE virus, which I like to think that we have extinguished to a large degree in this country, although there's still pockets that need to be attacked and inoculated against, it actually is running more rampant in Europe right now than it even is here. And I hope we can change that. We'll take some of your calls. I want to dive into the Jimmy Kimmel thing a bit more, Buck. Like I said, on the road, he'll have you tomorrow solo, when I'm traveling up to Michigan to be one of the keynote speakers at their big event up there. But I want to tell you, unfortunately, as many of you saw yesterday, we lost several different police officers in an unfortunate attack against those who would continue to help protect us. And every time one of these situations happens, I feel very fortunate that Tunnel to Towers exist because thanks to what they do, they can take care of so many people who put their lives on the line every single day. Like US Army Major Scott Smiley. Friends like you have shown your gratitude for Scott not only through words, but through actions for the service that's got put out there in the United States Army. He was in Iraq leading his platoon when a car bomb detonated in front of him. The blast left him blind and temporarily paralyzed, but he refused to let his injury stop his military career. Scott became the first blind active duty officer in military history before medically retiring years later. Thanks to friends like you, the Tunnel Towers foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage free smart home to help him live more independently. Please show that you appreciate the profound sacrifices made by America's heroes, the men and women who have served our country or our local community so unselfishly. Donate $11 a month to tunnel the towers at t2t.org that's t the number.

Thank you for that. I'm not going to lie, I was shook by that one. Sometimes I know when my outfits are going to be criticized. I thought I look good in that polo. And obviously I can't be trusted to dress myself before the Stephen A. Debate. I don't know that I've ever done this before. I facetime my wife standing in front of the mirror and asked am I allowed to wear this or do I look like an imbecile? And then I brought in my assistant Katie was also there with her at the house. I was like katie, I need your. I need your verdict too. And then when I got outside, I asked producer Ali three different women, hey, am I humiliating myself with what I have chosen to wear? I don't think I can be allowed to dress myself anymore. When we come back, we'll take some more of your calls. We'll dive into this question free speech or not.
