1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The third hour of The Clay in 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Buck Show is here. Everybody, thanks for rolling with us. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: One thing that the Biden administration does have going for 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: it right now, I suppose It's not like we can 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: look at them and say that they control everything. But 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: one good thing is we're not in the midst of 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: a war, so that's good. The end of the Afghan 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: War was obviously a debacle under the under the Biden 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: administration decision making, but the situation Ukraine has not yet 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: brought us into conflict with Russia, so that's good. Although 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the Biden administration is handling that well 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: at all, at least we're not at war. I bring 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: it up because as we talk about a lot of 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: what's being done by this White House and the constant 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: pushing of wokeness, whether it's diversity and inclusion training for 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: all government employee ease, and the constant focus on the 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: issue of white privilege all throughout the federal bureaucracy, which 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: I hear about from friends of mine who are still 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: in for example, the intelligence community. Oh, there's all this 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: concern with confronting white privilege. That wait, I'm working in 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I thought we're trying to keep America safe. 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't think I need a history lesson on white 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: privilege every every time we have some kind of HR meeting. 25 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: This is very real and the intel community, I can 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: tell you which is you know, CIA, n S, A, 27 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: d IA. There's sixteen. I think they might have even 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: added one, but there used to be sixteen intelligence agencies. 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of them. The military services all have 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: their own intelligence branch, and then there's a whole bunch 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: of others, a lot of letters, a lot of acronyms. 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: But they're quite woke, not only at the HR level 33 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: but also at the level of executive decision making authority. 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: The people that run these agencies now have been picked 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: specifically because they go along with the diversity and inclusion 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: rhetoric and belief system. And this is true also of 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: our military. And we are seeing something that is just 38 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: by the numbers, a real challenge Clay going forward. This 39 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: is from the Associated Press. Army cuts for army cuts, 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: the force size and made unprecedented battle for recruits, an 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: unprecedented challenge in getting new recruits to join the United 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: States military. Okay, here's what we're looking at right now. 43 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: They're projecting in the Army they're gonna have a total 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: force of four hundred and sixty six thousand, down from 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: the expected four hundred and seventy six thousand. All in, 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: it's looking like they're going to only achieve half of 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: their goal recruiting goal of sixty thousand soldiers for this 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: fiscal year, so they're down tens of thousands from the goal. 49 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: The force structure is eventually going to have to take 50 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: into account, whether it's brigade combat teams, other military formations 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: and entities that they don't have the ability to recruit, 52 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: what they who they need to fill those ranks. They're 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: changing clay all the time, now you know, Oh, no, 54 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: they are. They're trying to change you are no high 55 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: school diploma of any kind or GD or maybe we'll 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: make an exception. Tattoos on your hands and your face, 57 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: maybe we'll make an exception. They're making all of these 58 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: shifts body fat requirements for body fat percentage because you know, 59 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: military fighting, being fit. This is all tied in together. 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: The people who I talk to and we have a 61 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: lot of current and former war fighters in our audience, 62 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: and the people who I talk to, say, folks who 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: would be you know, the guy who was the defensive 64 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: tackle on the on the college high school football team, 65 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: who'd want to go and be an army ranger, wants 66 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: to be a war fighter, saying I don't want to 67 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: do this. I'm not going to sign up. Given what's 68 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: going on here, given their hiring thousands and thousands of 69 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: National Guard members over the vaccine, given that we're going 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: to get constant lectures about diversity and inclusion and the 71 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: threat of white supremacy from inside of the United States military, 72 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: which is an actual thing that they lecture people about. 73 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: I think we've got a big problem here. I think 74 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: it's a massive problem, and I think it's a massive 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: problem that cuts across so many different parts of American life. 76 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: And let me explain what I mean here. We want 77 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: the best military possible. What's the number one goal of 78 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: the military that I think almost every American should agree on. 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: We want people who can kick ass. We want people 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: who are badasses, and when you allow the target to 81 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: move from we want ass kickers to We want people 82 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: who represent the overall population of American life everybody is 83 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: not equally adroit and adept at serving in the military, 84 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't try to create a military that is 85 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: designed to fulfill a cosmetic diversity quotient when it doesn't 86 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: fulfill the ultimate goal that is underlying, which is to 87 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: be the most proficient at kicking ass possible. And I'll 88 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: tie it into a story. I don't know if you 89 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: saw this this morning, Buck. It has turned into a 90 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: massive story in England that there are too many white 91 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: women on the English women's national team. And I saw 92 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: this story and I thought it perfectly in soccer. I 93 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: saw this story and I thought to myself, this perfectly 94 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: epitomizes where we are as a nation. No one is 95 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: arguing right now, oh, these girls are not talented enough. 96 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: The argument is they aren't diverse enough. And I want 97 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: to read. The Athletic had a big story about this, 98 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: and I thought it tied in well with the struggles 99 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: that our military is having right now. Here is the 100 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: headline that up on the Athletic, which is now owned 101 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: by the New York Times. England's women's soccer team has 102 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: been successful in recent years, but the team doesn't look 103 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: like the country it represents. Its players are almost all white, 104 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: and it has a long way to go to improve diversity. 105 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: Why the hell do you care what the race of 106 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: the soccer team is if they're the best soccer players 107 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: in the world. And there is a difference, And I 108 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: think this is significant and a lot of people miss it. 109 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: There's a difference between providing equal opportunity and getting equal results. 110 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: You could have a completely diverse and representative football team 111 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: NFL team in America. Half of them could be women, 112 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: sixty percent of them could be white, thirteen percent of 113 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: them could be Hispanic, four percent Asian. That team would 114 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: lose every single football game they played buck because they 115 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: aren't the best possible football team. And I tie it 116 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: in with our military because we are focused now not 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: on creating the greatest fighting force in the world. We're 118 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: focused on trying to make the fighting force look like 119 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: America that oftentimes doesn't correspond, and I think it's why 120 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people are not going to work in 121 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the military. And I remember being in Iraq as a 122 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: civilian CIA analyst many years ago and being on US 123 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: military bases and there were big placards. You know, diversity 124 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: is our strength, And I mean I remember spending time 125 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: with these guys and gals, and their strength was actually 126 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: strength and being banasses and being willing to go out 127 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: there and defend each other and defend US interests and 128 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: just kick some ass. I don't care what the military 129 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: looks like from a demographic perspective. I want the United 130 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: States military to have pilots who can shoot down Chinese 131 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: fifth generation fighters, which may become a big thing for 132 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: US in the years ahead. I want Green Berets and 133 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Navy seals and Army rangers and an airborne who can do, 134 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred pushups like it's nothing, carry their 135 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: rucksack for fifteen miles, engage the enemy, shoot them at 136 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: two hundred yards with iron sights. I mean, I want 137 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: the best of the bat and by the way, that 138 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: is what our military has for a long time been 139 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: producing here. But now it's the job. But now we're 140 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: starting to see a shift in focus. And I think 141 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: that shift in focus is a big part. I'm not 142 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: saying it's the only part, but a big part of 143 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: why it is that you have people who again are 144 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: the warfighters, because the other part of this is that 145 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people military services military service, but there 146 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: are people who are serving in much more logistics capacities, 147 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: which is that's honorable service. I'm not putting that down. 148 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: But they're never going to be outside the wire. They're 149 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: never gonna be shot at, they're never gonna be in 150 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,359 Speaker 1: harm's way. The people who are war fighters are overwhelmingly, 151 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: in my experience, the door kickers. They're people who when 152 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: they're told that, you know, six year olds in school 153 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: need to be lectured on trans ideology and that there 154 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: needs to be you know, mixed units of male and 155 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: female infantry on the front lines, all this different gender 156 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: identity stuff, they do not go along with that. I 157 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: think you're one hundred percent right, Buck, and we know 158 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: that our foremost enemies do not go along with that. 159 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: China and Russia and Iran are not recruiting people into 160 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: their militaries by advertising pronouns. That's what's going on right 161 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: now in our United States military advertising. It is this 162 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: woke diversity and inclusion propaganda. And I think somebody you 163 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: probably saw this. I think we even like might have 164 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: texted it back and forth. The way that Russia is 165 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: recruiting soldiers right now is we want the baddest ass 166 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: of the badass this is before I think they invaded Ukraine. 167 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: But China's trying to do the same thing. And the 168 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: way that we're recruiting soldiers is by saying, we're going 169 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that we respect your pronouns. And I'm sorry, 170 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: if you're seventeen years old and you are trying to 171 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: decide what you want to do with your future. Most 172 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: people want to try to become elite. They want to 173 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: become elite at something. There's a great deal of demand, 174 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: especially in young men, to find a way to finally 175 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: their bodies, to take their minds to a different level. 176 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: All of that, they don't want to sit around and 177 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: talk about pronouns and white privilege. And I think that 178 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: goes across all the way. By the way, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, 179 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: the badasses among us do not want to be recruited 180 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: into a woke military, and I think it's a massive 181 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: issue with why we're having trouble recruiting. If you're out 182 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: there and you're either a current, you're personally you know, 183 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: a door kicker served in the US military, or you 184 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: are close to people who are and you're hearing the 185 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: same thing, or you're somebody who has kind to join 186 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: up even and said, you know what, I've decided that 187 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to drop out. I'm not going to re enlist. 188 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a part of this anymore, 189 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: to be curious to hear about it, because I hear 190 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: from people who are saying this all the time that 191 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: they think this is really damaging the ethos of wokeness 192 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: from the top down of the military brass, is really 193 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: damaging the esprita corps and the recruitment of the people 194 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: that you really need, which is the people who are 195 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: going to run run toward the sound of the machine 196 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: gun fire.

And I think 235 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to get your popcorn for this upcoming interview. 236 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: But Buck, we were just talking and I was curious 237 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: about military enrollments, sign ups, everything else. You went into 238 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: the CIA coming out of college because of nine a 239 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: lake of nine to eleven. Yeah, if you were you're 240 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: if you're twenty one right now, would you want to 241 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: go into the millet terry into CIA based on what 242 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: you are seeing of the services right now? I mean, 243 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm I could have a college age child right now. 244 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean I don't, but I could. And if my 245 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: kid said, should I consider a career in the US 246 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency? Right now, I would I would discourage it, 247 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: so I can't. I mean, I obviously haven't served in 248 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: the military. People wonder how did I The CI was 249 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: totally my idea. Nine to eleven happened. It was an 250 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: attack on America and it felt like an obviously a 251 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: call to action for a lot of us, and I 252 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: just thought the best way that I could help. I 253 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: had a background in Middle Eastern politics and history and 254 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: was studying Arabic before nine to eleven even happened, so 255 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: I thought I could help by essentially finding the bad 256 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: guys and sending in our war fighters to you know, 257 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: to get them and help them find the bad guys. 258 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: That was just my That was my thinking. You know, 259 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to be kind of the bird dog for 260 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: our shooters to go get the bad guys. And I 261 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: would not tell somebody right now, go join the intelligence community. 262 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: A very I heard this from a friend of mine, 263 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: a very senior CIA officer that I'd worked for, left 264 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: recently and while walking out of the building said something 265 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: to the effect of, I got sick of all the 266 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: lectures about how I need to be sorry for being 267 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: a straight white male, which is the app I mean again, 268 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: it goes to what's the essence of your job. If 269 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: you're losing talented people because you're focused on diversity inclusion, 270 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: which has nothing to do with the essence of the job, 271 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: then the organization itself is failing. And John and Washington 272 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: State called in, John, you spent thirty four years in 273 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: the military. What are you seeing and hearing from people 274 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: who may be multigenerational military families. Well, I can't speak 275 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: for all of them, but I was proud to serve. 276 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: My father served in the military. I did for thirty 277 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: four years of active duty. My son has served in 278 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: the military, son in law, my grandson. We're basically a 279 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: military family. But the military that we have nowadays is 280 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: not the military that most of us served in. The 281 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: vaccination mandates and all the lokeness. I think fathers and 282 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: grandfathers mostly are telling their their sons and daughters and 283 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: grandsons and granddaughters if they're if asked, is don't join 284 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: the military. And so I think I think that has 285 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: a lot to do with the military not meeting recruitment levels. Well, 286 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: thanks for your service. Would you have ever believed so 287 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: you got in thirty four years ago? Would you ever 288 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: believe that you would have been in the position of 289 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: telling your kids and your grandkids, Hey, I don't think 290 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: it's worth it based on the culture that's been created 291 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: in the military. No, And I mean I was proud 292 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: to serve, as my whole family was. But it's it's 293 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: just changed drastically, and the Afghanistan debacco was a big, 294 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: big part in it. John, thank you for your service. 295 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: I m clay, this just why we have all the 296 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: Here we go James in Pennsylvania.

But 304 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: as far as the military goes nowadays, there's still a 305 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: lot of people out there that know this country is 306 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: worth frightened for and they're not afraid to show their 307 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: their colors, and I have a lot of gratitude for them. 308 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: And I can say this being I was a drill 309 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: sergeant too for a while.

They've changed the Miriam Webster dictionary definition of 341 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: women to add the definition of one who identifies as 342 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: a gender other than a man. That's actually now on 343 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: the Miriam Webster website, so the official definition online at 344 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: least changed. We have somebody who has some thoughts on 345 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: the gender identity politics of the moment. Riley Gains University 346 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: of Kentucky swimmer who tied with Leah Thomas in the 347 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: two hundred yard freestyle NCAA Swimming Championships. Riley, thanks for 348 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: being with us. Yeah, thank you guys for making some 349 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: time to talk to me. Yeah. I mean, look, you 350 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: know you are the actual two hundred yard freestyle women's champions, 351 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: So congratulations on that. Sorry, you've had to deal with 352 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: some nonsense around it. What was your first react action 353 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: to hearing that Leah Thomas was put forward by the 354 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania as ncuble A Woman of the Year. Yeah, 355 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: it was just this feeling of heartbreak. I really thought 356 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: this would ever happen, but of course the INTABLA proved 357 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: me wrong yet again. Just thinking of all those amazing 358 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: female athletes that you penned who have lost out on 359 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: this nomination for the most elite, the pinnacle achievement in 360 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: all of collegiate athletics to someone who's only spent maybe 361 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: five percent of their life as a female. And I'll 362 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: say that with quotations around it, it's incredibly just heartbreaking. 363 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: What percentage of people out there in the women's swimming 364 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: when you would have conversations with them, would say I 365 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: completely agree with everything that you are saying, but they 366 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: were terrified to actually say that publicly. Definitely the majority. 367 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: Obviously I cannot speak for absolutely everyone, but there's there 368 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: was a few encounters I had where people did not 369 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: thank me or agree with me. Um. I actually had 370 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: a ton of Thomas's teammates reach out to me and 371 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: just thank me because what they have to go through 372 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: every day. They said, it's really taking a toll on them. 373 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: Can you tell us about that? Like, what what do 374 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: what are they when they're saying what they have to 375 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: go through? What are some of the things that the 376 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: actual female athletes on that team are dealing with. Well, 377 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: one in the locker room situations, Um, it's incredibly uncomfortable. 378 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: It just kind of puts them all in a place 379 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: that they didn't sign up to be in, and so 380 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: they're threatened, they're intimidated. Their coaches UM obviously quiet them down. 381 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: I actually saw an email that the IVY League sent 382 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: out to the swimmers that said, if you feel uncomfortable 383 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: seeing male genitalia in the locker room, you should seek counseling. 384 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: And so what an infringement? I mean that just seems 385 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: like it should be illegals, doesn't not. Yeah, look, and 386 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of crazy, and I want to 387 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: circle back around on it because I think our audience 388 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: may not even be aware of this. Not only does 389 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: Leah Thomas get to claim that she is now a woman, 390 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: but that he is a she claim. Yeah, it's all 391 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: crossed up, right, but he is using the women's locker 392 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: room as well and still has male genitalia. I mean, 393 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: this is crazytown stuff, right, And under Biden's new administration 394 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: of Title nine, it's actually sexual assault now to refer 395 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: to a transgender as the wrong pronouns, but it is 396 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: not sexual assault to have male genitalia in the female 397 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: locker rooms. And my understanding from I saw reporting on 398 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: this is that Leah Thomas still claims sexual attraction to women, right, 399 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: So you're having to get on dressed, if not you 400 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: because you weren't on that team, but but a woman 401 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: on the upen team would have to be getting You know, 402 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: it's a swim team getting fully naked next to an 403 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: adult male with male genitalia who was still attracted to 404 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: women because he has long hair now, right. I actually 405 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: talked with girls who had dealt with sexual assault in 406 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: the past in the locker room situation at Insiblais was 407 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: enough to cause enough trauma to where they actually had 408 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: to seek some help again, which is just crazy. We've 409 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: gotten to this point, So, Riley, where does this go? 410 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: Because one of the big questions that's out there you 411 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: probably have heard this from people as well, is oh, 412 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: why do you care? Well? My answer was always this 413 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: is leading to men taking over and beginning to dominate 414 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: women's athletics because they're bigger, stronger, faster. Let's just talk 415 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: about the competition element of this. I believe Leah Thomas 416 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: is six foot three, six foot four. How much fairness 417 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: in competition is there for you, a woman who has 418 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: swim for her entire life. I bet you started when 419 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: you were four or five years old training for this 420 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: to suddenly be competing against someone who was a male 421 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: swimmer up into a year or two ago, and now 422 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: they're the greatest women swimmer ever. From a purely competitive perspective, 423 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: what is that like? And what advantages exist for Leah 424 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: as a swimmer that do not exist for the other 425 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: women you swim against. Right, So, obviously there's the blatant 426 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: physical advantage of just height, but that clearly is not everything. 427 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: A sport like swimming. There's certain aspects like your aerobic capacity, 428 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: your capacity, all of those things. Men have larger hearts, 429 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: men have larger lungs, and that's not something that would 430 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: ever change. With tsastrum suckers and having those advantages, It 431 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: really really is obvious, even if you just go back 432 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: and watch the race video. Riley Gaines, thanks so much 433 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: for being with us. We appreciate it. Yeah, and look, 434 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: this is probably the perfect spot for this particular advertisement 435 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: because the truth of the matter is, you want to 436 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: be able to perform at your absolute best level. If 437 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: you are a man, you need testosterone. Testosterone makes a 438 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: monster difference in terms of your overall capacity. Man, I've 439 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: been losing fifty percent of their testosterone levels over the 440 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: past several years.

Are thanks to Riley Gaines 470 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: being willing to speak out against this insane, woke universe 471 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: swimmer at the University of Kentucky. You just heard her 472 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: talking about having to be forced to swim against what 473 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: was a mail swimmer until like a year ago. Guy 474 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: still has male genitalia walking around in the locker room, 475 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: still attracted to women. At some point, I just continue 476 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: to slam at home. If you are running or working 477 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: on a campaign in at governor's race, senate race, congressional race, heck, 478 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: all the way down to a school board race, and 479 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: you're running against the Democrat, I'm just telling you one 480 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: question in most of the country right now can win 481 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: you the election, and that is ask your opponent can 482 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: men get pregnant? Democrats want to claim they're the party 483 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: of science. They got dudes with male genitalia, swomen against 484 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: girls getting nominated for the women's Athlete of the Year. 485 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: What do you think, Clay. The crossover is between people 486 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: who won't answer the ken, or actually they'll say yes, 487 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: men can get pregnant. People who will say yes, it's 488 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: not an important question, it's a distraction, or they'll just 489 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: evade it. But if, but if they do answer and 490 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: say yes, who also will tell you that shots five, six, seven, 491 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 1: and eight are the ones that really kick in and 492 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: protect you. I think it's one hundred percent. I think 493 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: that there is a leap of faith across all science 494 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: and all data and all logic. Democrats have become a 495 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: party of insanity. I really mean it. And would you 496 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: have ever believed that we would be in this day 497 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: and age having conversations about whether or not men can 498 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: get pregnant. AOC got fake arrested yesterday or fake handcuffed yesterday. 499 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: She would tell you that men can get pregnant. If 500 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: she were on the show with us right now, she 501 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: would say it. She would mean it in her heart 502 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: of it. She would tell you that you were a 503 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: bigot for asking question. Remembers, it's not even that they're 504 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: trying to win converts. They're hunting heretics. If you deviate 505 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: from this, you're a bad person. They're not sitting there saying, hey, 506 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck, let's have a conversation about what it 507 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: actually means to be a man who is pregnant. No, no no, no, no, 508 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: it's how dare you? You're a bigot. You're as bad 509 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: as somebody who's a racist because you think that a 510 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: uterus is necessary for having a baby positive. I was 511 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: just reading during the commercial break, the vast majority of 512 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: Americans a group with US, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, 513 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican, honestly that this woke virus is destroying 514 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: everything it touches. And if you are actually anti woke, 515 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: if you move in the opposite direction, if you're pro America, 516 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: top gun, Maverick Buck. I was just reading one of 517 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: the most successful movies ever. If you haven't seen it 518 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: and you want to just be entertained for a couple 519 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: of hours and get away from everything, go watch it. 520 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: I guarantee you'll like it. Tom Cruise on track to 521 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: make over one hundred million dollars. Yellowstone is the number 522 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: one show on television. They won't nominate it for an Emmy. 523 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: It's pretty decidedly anti woke in nature. If you are 524 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: willing to throw up the middle of the finger in 525 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: the direction of the woke ideology to give it the 526 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: heisman shot off into the distance, market will reward you 527 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: We're seeing it with this show, biggest in radio, We're 528 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: seeing it all over the country. Buck our Hollywood studios 529 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: so committed to their ideology of wokeism that they are 530 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: unwilling to take all of the money that they can 531 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: make by just making us decent movies and television shows 532 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: that don't try to tell us America's awful and focus 533 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: almost exclusively on woke ideology. I worry because some of 534 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: these you know, you look at Amazon and Netflix and 535 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: these epicenters of wokeness, and what you find is that 536 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: they're so dominant now in the space of content creation 537 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: that it's a little bit like, okay, well, if they 538 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: if they're the ones that can tell you what the 539 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: only products are on shelf, even if you don't like them, 540 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they may be able 541 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: to make enough money because they control the market, which 542 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: which brings us back to why aren't there more Why 543 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: aren't there more conservative content creators at that level? And 544 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: that's a whole big discussion, and we've been having them 545 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: on the right for a long time, But Clay, this 546 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: has been clear for a long time. Every every time, 547 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's remarkable. Every time there's some 548 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: independent studio or that, or either that that makes something 549 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: that has I don't know, like a history of the Bible, 550 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: or you know, something that has some biblical themes in 551 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: it that goes into you know, Christianity in a positive light, 552 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: or just is a story about somebody who whose faith 553 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: was inspiring or whatever, and it makes all this money 554 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: at the box office. The libs are like, what movie 555 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: we didn't even that wasn't even a movie, It didn't 556 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: even exist, didn't even happen. If they do review it, 557 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this is trash. The acting is so bad. 558 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: If they wanted to make money, they would look at 559 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: the formula and say, let's do more of this. They 560 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: don't want to make that kind of money, or rather 561 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: they don't want to make money doing it that way. 562 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: They think they can make enough money by you know, 563 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: shoveling wokeness and more pan sexual cartoon characters at us. 564 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: It's why old Buck, because I did this in my 565 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: own life without kick. I was disgusted by the what 566 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: I call the knife fight of wocalism in sports. And 567 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you out there are sports 568 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: fans still, and you know what I'm talking about every 569 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: media outlet, every media figure constantly lecturing you about diversity 570 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: and inclusion and racism and gender issues and all this stuff. 571 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: And I just made a website and found that a company. 572 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, hey, we like sports, and we're saying 573 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: and we're dominating nobody else. Did it? I have an 574 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: important yes, and the market rewarded you, handsome. Yeah, that's right. Um, 575 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: I have an update for you. In the AOC fake 576 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: arrest story, I knew there was going to be some 577 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: there would be some laughable X because it was so 578 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: stupid the whole thing, right. AOC tweeted this straight from 579 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: the source. No faking here. Putting your hands behind your 580 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: back is a best practice, well detained, handcuffed or not, 581 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest. I mean, not 582 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: only is she an imbecile, she's a fraud, folks, a fraud. 583 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: But she could do an Instagram live right now and 584 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: there'd be more people watching her than watch MSNBC. And 585 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: then I'll be saying, yeah, yes, queen, you're amazing, You're 586 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: a genius. And they're all so dumb, and I feel 587 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: badly for them. They should listen to this show. They 588 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: would learn something I rarely pay attention to AOC. But 589 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: after that, you're my favorite big booty Latina video, which 590 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: was up I think last week. Right, I went into 591 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: the comments and buck the number of what appeared to 592 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: be male Twitter accounts just it's like they were desperately 593 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: asking for her to date them. When you read these comments, 594 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: it's like, well, if he had said that to me 595 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: and you were my girlfriend, I would have punched him 596 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: right in the face. She is the most If you 597 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: are a beta mail with Ukraine flags and double masking selfies, 598 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: and if your profile photo is you in an N 599 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,919 Speaker 1: ninety five and you announce your pronounce to everybody all 600 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: the time, AOC is the dream woman. I mean, she 601 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: is the absolute best you could ever imagine and hope 602 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: for if you happen to be one of those guys. 603 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: It is. But I just loved reading their comments because 604 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: first of all, you're not going to get to date 605 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: the girl that you're making the comments about in the 606 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: in the social media accounts, all right, that's not unless 607 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: you're also famous and rich. She's not gonna be like 608 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, Matteias four six four six nine two three 609 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: with the Ukraine flag and the triple mask profile pick 610 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: You're the guy I've been dreaming of dating forever. It's 611 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: just next level pathetic. The men who are like throwing 612 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: themselves at AOC's feet in the comments, I couldn't help 613 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: but enjoy it. So I gotta tell you, folks, we 614 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: have the audio actually to share you tomorrow of the 615 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: CEO of Starbucks who is telling everybody not only have 616 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: they closed sixteen stores, stores that were making them money, 617 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: but it is because democrats who run different cities all 618 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: over the country have decided to stop enforcing the law 619 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: and more Starbucks closures are coming because these Starbucks locations 620 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 1: are unsafe. And Buck it's a perfect example. They ran 621 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: their company for decades, almost setting policies in place that 622 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: made them very popular and beloved. Then they got woke, 623 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: and now they're going broken those stores. Fleet Travis and 624 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
