00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition for those of

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: us who celebrate it is in caa tournament leeve eve.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: I still don't count to play in games as a

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: significant part of tournaments. But we have got a lot

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: to discuss with all of you border chaos. What are

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: the courts going to do, What is Texas able to do?

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: What are the shifting realities of those court decisions? Where

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: are they going to lead us? And what is the

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: impact going to be? We will discuss that because it's

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: a mess. But this is like you, you might as

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: well get a civil procedure degree to even understand what's

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: going on right now in the court system.

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: Well, I'm generally very focused on the news play, but

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: today I'm just really unable to take my mind away

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: from this March Madness bracket situation, and I can come

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: to the astute conclusion that Yale is not going all

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: the There's no way those nerds are going to win

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: the whole thing.

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: So there Gale's gonna lose to Auburn in round one.

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: That's a student analysis by you giving giving everybody a

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: pick for their brackets. Right off the top. I believe

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm correct that Auburn is playing Yale, and Yale of

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: course won the Ivy League in a crazy comeback. I

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: can't remember who they beat, but I'm sure some of

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: you know and and so yeah, it's n CAA tournament

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: bracket challenge eve a lot of people filling it out.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: We got the Travis Family Bracket Challenge. Sixteen year old,

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: thirteen year old, nine year old all getting involved, as

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: well as Katie, who is my assistant that runs around

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: and makes the world kind of work here in the

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: in the Travis household. So we are all having a

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: family competition and for a lot of people. By the way,

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: we're also going to be joined today by North Carolina

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: governatorial candidate Mark Robinson. You know that he's over the

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: target because he has been getting attacked like crazy. He

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: is the Republican nominee running for an open seat governorship

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: in a state buck that according to the data. I know,

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: I've been optimistic about Georgia flipping back to the Red

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty four. There's a lot of polling

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: out there, and even I read an article in the

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: New York Times recently saying that they should stop focusing

43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: their spending in a big way. Democrats should on Georgia

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: because they feel like they're going to lose Georgia, but

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: that North Carolina a flip, there might be a better opportunity.

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: That was a big, I don't know, probably fifteen hundred

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: word piece that I read in the New York Times recently.

48
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: And the polling actually might reflect that to some degree

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: because Trump is pulling away in many of the polls

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: that are coming out of Georgia, but North Carolina is

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: remaining stubbornly very close as it was in twenty twenty.

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: So we will we'll be talking about that in the

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: battleground that is North Carolina and that governor's race. And

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: then at two o'clock, the Attorney General of Virginia, Jason Miarz,

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: is going to join us. He's filed a lawsuit against

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: the NCAA, but also Virginia. How much in play is

57
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: the state of Virginia. What is the impact of Glenn

58
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: Youngkin's first term there. We will discuss all of that

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: with those guests. So we got one thirty and two

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern guests. But I want to start with this bucket.

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a maybe a different direction,

62
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: but I think it ties in with so much of

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: what's going on right now in the country. And I

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: saw this this morning. Both the New York Times and

65
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal wrote about it. There is a

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: ranking of top twenty five countries by happiness, basically how

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: do people consider themselves? And I thought, we talked to

68
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Abigail Schreier earlier in the week, the United States happiness

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: is collapsing to the extent that life liberty to pursuit

70
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of happiness is a by nature, I think target of

71
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: this country. The fact that the United States would now

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: be twenty third overall in happiness ranking, that is below

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the Slovenia, the United Arab Emirates, below the Czech Republic, Lithuania,

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Costa Rica, Kuwait, Austria. I mean a lot of these

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: countries that are ostensibly happier than us are not necessarily

76
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: even anywhere near the geopolitical stratosphere that we are right,

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: They don't have the economic wealth. And when you dive

78
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: into the numbers, buck it actually even gets more interesting.

79
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: And I'm curious for all of you out there listening

80
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: what your theories would be. I would actually like to

81
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: hear your theory, Buck, I mean, you can blow us

82
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: up at Clay and Buck at Clay Travis, at Buck Sexton,

83
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: because I think this is such an interesting question. The

84
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: reason why the United States has a happiness deficit, as

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: it were, is not because of people sixty and older.

86
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: They are, according to this study, the eleventh happiest in

87
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: the entire world. So it's not crazy. If you're over

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: sixty and a lot of you are listening to us

89
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: right now, you tend to be fairly happy. But what's

90
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: going on here is if you're under thirty, so your kids,

91
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: your grandkids, if you're on the younger age of listenership

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: for this radio program or you listening on the podcast,

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: you rank sixty second. And that's the biggest gap in

94
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: any country, Buck, in the world right now between people

95
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: over sixty and people under thirty. What's going on?

96
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: So this is where my generally salty demeanor I think

97
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: works in America's favor because the things that really generally

98
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: gauge happiness are ambition and expectation. Right, for a lot

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: of people, at least, ambition and expectation, what do you

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: want for your life now? If you've been raised to

101
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: just want to go as part of the system and

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: have your you know, your vacation and your time off,

103
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: and you know, you don't want to really be in.

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: The fight in any meaningful way.

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: You want to live in Finland, okay, you want to

106
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 2: live in some of these places where you have not

107
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: socialism per se, but a huge welfare state and very

108
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: high taxation. Where you have and I'll also point out

109
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: these countries. It's not very well known, but even a

110
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: country like Sweden, which where is that on this Yeah,

111
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: Sweden's very you know, for overall, Sweden's very high. Sweden

112
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: was very socialist, I think in through the seventies into

113
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: the eighties, and then it started becoming a free market

114
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: economy or much more of a free market economy. And

115
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: now it's just as high taxation and a very large

116
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: again very large not just welfare state but state services. Right,

117
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: but the economy doesn't function as an actual socialist state

118
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: at all. But you look at these countries and you

119
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: know they're not changing the world. Individuals in them are

120
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: not you the world. We grow up in a society

121
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: now where everybody is being constantly and this is why

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: I think the under thirty happiness.

123
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: To address this issue. Is so low for America right now.

124
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the key, I think again, because I think

125
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: people that are older have more perspective on America still

126
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: kicks ass. Like we talked about the problems here, but

127
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: America is actually still number one. And I'd also point

128
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: out what happens to Finlam without America. They start speaking

129
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: a lot of Russian everybody, okay, a lot of these

130
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: other countries without us. Without you know, you who listen

131
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: to this, who have served your country and the armed forces,

132
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: or or you know will serve in the armed forces,

133
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: depending on how old you are, these other countries can't

134
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: even exist in their little changri law. You know, they're

135
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: Nirvana of Oh, college is paid for, healthcare is paid for. Yeah,

136
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: that's because what are you spending on your defense? But

137
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: put all that aside, Clay, And just to get us

138
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: back into the focus here, which is the under thirties

139
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: in America. Yeah, under thirties are unhappy because we are

140
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: constantly now bombarded with not just excellence within America, but

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: global excellence because of I do think social media plays

142
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: a big role in this. We are constantly being compared

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: to the richest, best athlete best looking, best entrepreneur go

144
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: down the list in the world in America because we

145
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: have such a concentration of them here in America, but

146
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: also in some other places. And I think that that's

147
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: where people have lost a bit of context and don't

148
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: understand that. You know, I've been in some really crappy

149
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: countries for long stretches of time. If you do that,

150
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: you really start to realize how amazing this place is.

151
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: My theory is maybe a little bit different.

152
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: I do think social media plays in I think that

153
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: if you're under thirty in this country, you've been conditioned

154
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: with the idea that America is a profoundly racist and

155
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: force for evil. And if you see the overall decline

156
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: in religious rates, and you've hit on this too, that

157
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: climate change is a religion for people who don't believe

158
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: in religion. I think that wokeism is a religion for

159
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: people that don't believe in religion. And if you are

160
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: constantly being marinated in the idea that because America had

161
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: slavery in eighteen sixty, you can never atone for the

162
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: ills of this country. And if you're not being taught

163
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: about the true history of the nation, what stands out

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,359
Speaker 1: to me, is not necessarily that young people are unhappy.

165
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: It's why is the gap between young and old in

166
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: America higher than any country in the world right now?

167
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: And I think it's because if you're over sixty, you

168
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: were raised in America. Is a force for good. Look

169
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: at what we did in World War Two, look at

170
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: the overall history of America. You live through the Civil

171
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: rights movement, You've seen America, I think, be a force

172
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: innately for good. And people who are young have no

173
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: real struggles, right They didn't get drafted to fight in Vietnam.

174
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: They have and I'm talking about real life struggles. They

175
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: haven't had to go fight the Nazis, they haven't dealt

176
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: with the Great Depression, and they are buying into this idea.

177
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: I think social media works in on it, but that

178
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: America is not a force for good, and with an

179
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: absence of religion, to your point on ambition and what

180
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: you strive for, they're profoundly lost and there's a void

181
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: that is being filled by things that are making them

182
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: less happy. And I think a lot of them buck.

183
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: This is why I thought our conversation with Isabelle Brown

184
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: yesterday was so interesting because I see it in my

185
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: own kids. A lot of them are aware that what

186
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: they're being told is not true and that it's not

187
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: working for them, and they're desperately seeking answers and they

188
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: don't know how to find them. Does that make sense.

189
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: It's not uncommon for young people. I think it's worse

190
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: for them psychologically today than it might have been for

191
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: other generations.

192
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: I think every generation of young people thinks that they're

193
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: you know, go back. I mean, if you talk about

194
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: our parents' generation of the sixties and the seventies, oh man,

195
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: you know, the.

196
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: World was so bleak and the oil embargo and no,

197
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: but they thought they were forces for good. In the

198
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Baby boomers, right, the Baby Boomers are the most self entitled,

199
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: like obsessed generation, in my opinion, that believes that they

200
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: made the world a better place. Like does you're talking

201
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: about Americans? And I don't think I don't think that

202
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: the Baby Boom American generation thought that.

203
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: I think that they were riddled with a lot of

204
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: guilt over Vietnam and you know, anyway, but I.

205
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Feel like a lot of them stood up and felt

206
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: like they were engaged. I don't know that people under

207
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: the age of thirty feel like they really are involved

208
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: in the choices that are being made in the I

209
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: don't know there is one answer. I'm curious for people

210
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: out there listening. The gap that doesn't exist anywhere else

211
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: in the world is certainly there, and it's open and

212
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: right for explanation.

213
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: America, Germany, New Zealand, Canada are the countries that all

214
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: have really low numbers in the under thirty index. Now

215
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: far be it for me to be able to analyze

216
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: the contemporary German psyche like I don't know, you know,

217
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what's.

218
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Going on over there.

219
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: Like every German I've met, you know, they're nice people,

220
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: but I don't know what they're thinking. But in terms

221
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: of Canada and the US, I mean I do think

222
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: that this is Look, there are some things. We do

223
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: have a structural debt problem. We have had the massive

224
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: transfer of wealth from young too old, but which is

225
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: still occurring. And people don't like this, but that is

226
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: what entitlements actually are. People say, I pay into them,

227
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: will you take out twice what you put into them

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: over the course of your earnings on average, So you're

229
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: actually burdening future generations with and you know, just like

230
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: when we hopefully if Medicare is still there for us.

231
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: We'll see what ends up happening. But I think that's

232
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: part of it. Clay, and I also think that people, yes,

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: there's an ideology of wokeness is about yesterday was telling

234
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: us that a lot of gen z are not woke.

235
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean, or that some of them

236
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: are rejecting it. Yeah, I mean, I'm everyone I meet

237
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: under thirty like lives in an alternate universe.

238
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: Except for the ones who listened to this show. Thank

239
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you very much, we appreciate you.

240
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: But everybody else who's in that generation, I think, to

241
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: be fair, how much interaction do we really have with

242
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: people under.

243
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: Thirty on a day to day basis? I mean, I

244
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: do you know? Yeah, I don't know about your I

245
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: don't know about your world.

246
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I just see them on TikTok and social media stuff

247
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, so they know nothing.

248
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm around my kids. But yes, yeah, you have.

249
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: You have a much better line into you, like you understand,

250
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: like you know what what high school kids are thinking about.

251
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: I don't know anything, but I will say this also,

252
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: and I hot tip my friend David Harsani, who wrote

253
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: a book about this. You know, people will say all

254
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: they like, oh, it's so great. You know, everyone has

255
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: a grass is Greener phenomenon with other countries. I mean,

256
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: you know, and I have you ever been to Sweden.

257
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna tell you, Yeah, Sweden, nice people whatever.

258
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Go to Sweden in January and tell me that you

259
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: want to live there. That's what I was in Sweden

260
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: and January. There's a lot of stuff about this that,

261
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: and go there and try to start a business, Go

262
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: there and try to do something that really changes the world.

263
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: You know that the if England, this is what I

264
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: was saying about to Harsanyi's point, if England were a

265
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: US state, play it would be the poorest state per

266
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: capita in the United States. It would be poorer than Mississippi.

267
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: No offense to Mississippi, but I'm just saying it would

268
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: be the poorest state in the Union. And yet we

269
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: think of the English as fancy and having free healthcare. No,

270
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: actually they're kind of beaten down by an enormous state

271
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: in the National Health Service. And so you know, part

272
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: of this is with age comes wisdom. And I can't

273
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: believe i'mending this. This clays older than niamas we know

274
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: by many years ago, I guess he has something.

275
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: I will say this too as we go to break here.

276
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Here are the two countries that under thirty year olds

277
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: are the most happy, in Lithuania and Israel. How many

278
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: American under thirties would like to live in Lithuania. I'm

279
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: just raising it as an issue. Like everything, to your point,

280
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: is a relative. One of my favorite stats is if

281
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: you're one of the poorest in I think ten percent

282
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: in America, you would be one of the twenty percent

283
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: wealthiest in it in India. So I don't know it's

284
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: about money, but it's certainly not understanding economics factor.

285
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: If you're twenty five in Lithuania, you're still hearing stories

286
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: from your parents about standing in breadlines when it was

287
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union. So I totally get why Lithuania is

288
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: so happy in that age group. But there's very clear

289
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: reasons for that, because it is as I said, it's

290
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: about expectation and ambition. What do you think about your

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: situation compared to other relevant situations. By the way, it's

292
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: also part of the anatomy of a revolution. For example,

293
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: it's not that people are so poor. There are a

294
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: lot of poor countries where there's no revolutions, revolution comes. Well,

295
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: there's a number of things, but one of them is

296
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: when people think that their expectations are being unmet by

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: their society and by the state. So a lot of

298
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: it is, you know, Clay, you want to be happy,

299
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: lower your expectations. There you go, that's quite a bumper sticker.

300
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: That's why my wife is so happy in our marriage.

301
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, but whoa crime rates? My friends, crime rates

302
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: are bad, They're way up. Burglaries are a huge problem.

303
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Talking about this recently, they have these burglary gangs that

304
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: come into the US from a brawl. This is a

305
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: real thing. You can check this out and they just

306
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: steal for ninety days. They rob as many houses as possible,

307
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: and they'd use surveillance beforehand.

308
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: It's really a mess.

309
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: But you know what, if you have a liberty Safe,

310
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,920

318
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton making sense in an insane world.

319
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: I just wanted to point something out here, because we've

320
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: been saying it all along, that they're going to try

321
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: to time everything. The Democrats then buyde in so that

322
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: they have have the maximum distortion of reality right when

323
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: it is most politically advantageous. They'll do this on the border,

324
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: They'll do this on a whole range of things, but

325
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: also with the economy. Now, we talk about the problems

326
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: in the economy right now, and certainly it would be

327
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: a lot better with a Republican in charge. It would

328
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: be a lot better with Donald Trump in charge.

329
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: We know that.

330
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: But remember they're not trying to convince you. They will

331
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: be trying to convince people who are the undecideds and

332
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: the swing voters. Now I know we have some of

333
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: those listening, but you know what I mean. Meanwhile, every

334
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: lever that they have to pull to make things seem

335
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: as good as they possibly can in the economy, they

336
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: will pull the Federal Reserve Clay has this just from

337
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: today left its interest rate unchanged. But now we're being

338
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: told that there are still or rather the forecast is

339
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: that there are going to be three rate cuts in

340
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: twenty four.

341
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Three rate cuts, just in time.

342
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: For people to say, hmm, do I feel like things

343
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: are going well for me financially or not. They're juicing

344
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: the system here, and it's exactly what we both predicted

345
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 2: this at the end of last year. We said they're

346
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: going to do rate cuts. They're going to try to

347
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: make the stock market look as good as they can.

348
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: That's what's coming.

349
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Joe Biden's going to come out and say

350
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: we beat inflation and as a result, the Fed is

351
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: now returning rates to where they historically have been, which

352
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: is somewhat lower. And he's going to say, fifteen year

353
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: mortgages are coming down, thirty year mortgages are coming down.

354
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: They're going to start juicing things in the summer. And

355
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: I'll just point out inflation has stopped coming down. Anybody noticed,

356
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: Like they've been saying, Oh, the track's going really well,

357
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: it's still right around three percent. The targets two percent,

358
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: so it's fifty percent above where they want it to be,

359
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: and yet they are saying that they're going to continue

360
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: to bring down the rate. So that is designed to

361
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: give Joe Biden an opportunity to tell people, see, the

362
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: economy is in good shape. I solved everything Bidenomics. You

363
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: may start to hear Bidenomics rear its head again. I

364
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: believe Joe Biden is reaching out to Latino voters today

365
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: as we speak in Arizona by going to a Mexican restaurant.

366
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: This is not made up. I can only imagine what

367
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: that commentary is going to be like, particularly because do

368
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: you remember, wasn't very long ago Joe Biden called Latino

369
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: voters breakfast tacos. Yeah, well no, but very diverse, very diverse,

370
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: breakfast tacos as diverse as the breakfast tacos of San Antonio,

371
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly.

372
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: Excuse me, doctor Jill Biden. Doctor Jill Biden was referring

373
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: to the diversity of the breakfast talk.

374
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Do you think she read the speech beforehand, because I

375
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: would think when calling Latino people breakfast tacos, I've been like,

376
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: maybe we take that line out like it's really funny.

377
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: I might I might have had to do that too.

378
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of memories I have

379
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: of my my dad, in particular, growing up, we were

380
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: opening Christmas presence or on my birthday or something, and

381
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: my dad would take out this camera which now looks

382
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: like a shoulder fired missile.

383
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: The thing was huge, but he would.

384
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: Video us and he'd be saying, you know, hey, do

385
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: you like what you're opening up? And you know, hey,

386
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: you call me Buckoh hey, bucko, you like the presence? Well,

387
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: we can't watch those VHS tapes anymore, and that's a problem.

388
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: But it's when we fix thanks to Legacy Box. Legacy

399
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: joined now by Mark Robinson. He is the Lieutenant Governor

400
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: of North Carolina and he's a candidate for the governorship

401
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: of the great state of North Carolina.

402
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: Mark, appreciate you joining us, sir.

403
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: Hey great to be here.

404
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me.

405
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: Could we get you away in first And obviously North

406
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: Carolina is an incredibly important state in this upcoming election

407
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: a rate and a range of ways. Democrats still think

408
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: that they can get some make some inroads there, I think,

409
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 2: but we're hoping you're going to be part of a

410
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: North Carolina red wave. Before we get to that, though,

411
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: when you see what's going on at the southern border

412
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: and the Biden administration response to efforts by Texas to

413
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: try to help, what do you make of that?

414
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: Well, everything that Joe Biden's administration has done is been

415
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: countering too to keeping the border forest off, securing the border,

416
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: and secondly, keeping the American popular safe. He's done an

417
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: abysmal job since he's been in office, and unfortunately this

418
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 4: is a wretched crown jewel and that it hit bad administration.

419
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: He's just everything that he's done has been counterintuitive to

420
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 4: it and he needs to reverse course quickly for the

421
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: safety and security of the American people.

422
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: Mark, when we saw, first of all, thanks for coming on,

423
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: good luck in the campaign. We'll probably have you on again,

424
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: certainly before election day. But when we saw how you

425
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: were getting attacked, we said, man, this guy's over the target.

426
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: We got to get him walked up. Yeah, we need

427
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: to let him talk to our audience. But I wanted

428
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: to hear from you. Why do you think you have

429
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: become the main target that you have getting ripped to

430
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: shreds by the left, And what kind of response are

431
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: you seeing from North Carolinians to those attacks.

432
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: The overwhelming majority of our response has been positive. People

433
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: are reaching out to us every day, and not just

434
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: not just Republicans, Democrats as well, who are tired of

435
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 4: the status quo. They're tired of the children being in

436
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 4: failing public schools. They're tired of these social issues being

437
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: forced on them in their homes and in their schools

438
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: and in their churches. They're tired of folks who want

439
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: to try to destroy our economy and try to let

440
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 4: our boarder be wide open and let law and order

441
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: be destroyed. They're tired of it, and they're ready for

442
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 4: a change, and they're ready for somebody who's going to

443
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: stand up, say the things that needs to be said,

444
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 4: be unafraid to make the changes that need to be made,

445
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: and move North Carolina in the right direction.

446
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: If you're the governor of North Carolina, Mark and God Willing,

447
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: that's where this is heading. What are the biggest changes,

448
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: the biggest policy decisions that you plan on making for

449
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: your home state.

450
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: Oh, the biggest things we're going to focus on is

451
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 4: our our economy and our education system. North Carolina has

452
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: been on a great run since twenty ten. We had

453
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 4: a Republican takeover in twenty ten. Before that, we've been

454
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: Democrat controlled for decades, but we've had Republicans took over

455
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 4: in twenty ten. When they took over, we were about

456
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 4: three point four billion dollars in debt to the federal government.

457
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 4: We're furloughing state workers. I mean, we were in the

458
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 4: shambles with our economy. Those Republicans got to work and

459
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 4: fixed our economy, and now we're not only not in debt,

460
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 4: but we have a five billion dollar surplus and we're

461
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 4: the number one business destination two years running in the country,

462
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: and so we're poised to really start growing our economy.

463
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 4: And that's going to be our focus as government to

464
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 4: grow our economy. As I say, from Murphy to Manio,

465
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: Murphy being the furthest western point, Maneo being the first

466
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: furthest eastern point in the state. We want an economy

467
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 4: that spans all the way across North Carolina and works

468
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: for everybody, and that's going to be our goal. Education

469
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 4: what we want to bring back. We want to drive

470
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: agendas out of classroom and we want to bring excellence

471
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 4: back into the classroom. Everybody in this we all hear

472
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 4: this thing about DEI. Our version of DEI is going

473
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: to be not diversity, equity, inclusion, but discipline, excellence, and intelligence.

474
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 4: That's going to be our version of DEI because that's

475
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 4: what we want in education. We don't want simply want

476
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: a sound basic education here in North Carolina. We want

477
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: our K through twelve students to get a world class

478
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 4: education because that's what they're going to need to compete

479
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: on the world stage. And that's what we want to

480
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: do here in North Carolina.

481
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: Mark, I don't know if you've seen this, and we're

482
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: talking to Mark Robinson, who is the Republican candidate for

483
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: governor in North Carolina. The data's out that people under

484
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the age of thirty are overwhelmingly unhappy in America. I'm

485
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: sure you see this all over North Carolina talking to

486
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: young people. Why do you think that is? I mean,

487
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned education, But how do we fix it?

488
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: I think we fix it by getting back to the

489
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 4: things that we're all concerned about and joining together to

490
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 4: fix those things. Quite frankly, in politics, we allow about

491
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: three or four different issues to divide us on everything. Look,

492
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 4: I can't think of a single solitary person that doesn't

493
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: want great education system, or great economy, or to be

494
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 4: safe in their neighborhoods. Not a single solitary person cannot

495
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: think of who is a good character that wants that.

496
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: The problem is we allow so many things to divide us.

497
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 4: It's time for us to start putting aside the things

498
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: that we disagree on long enough to work on the

499
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: things that we do agree on. And I think when

500
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: we start doing that, and I think when our so

501
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: called leaders are public elected officials start doing that in earnest,

502
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 4: I think that we'll see some happiness and some cooperations

503
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: start to come back in this country.

504
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: Mark Robinson, everybody, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. He is

505
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: running for governor in North Carolina. His website in that

506
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: endeavor is Mark Robinson for NC dot Com.

507
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: Clay's got one more for you, Mark, Go ahead, Okay,

508
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: I got the toughest question for you, and I don't

509
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: want you to dodge it. Duke U, n C, NC

510
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: State are all big schools in the NCAA tournament? Sure

511
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: who is going farthest? Who is your team? North Carolina

512
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: is known for basketball?

513
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: Well, North Carolina is known for basketball. We love tar

514
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 4: Hill fans, we love Duke fans, we love all our

515
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: fans here in North Carolina, from apple Achian all the

516
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: way across. But my team is in C State and

517
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 4: I'm really rooting for the Wolf Pact to go deep,

518
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: if not win at all. But did a great job

519
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: in ACC tournament winning five straight, and they did it

520
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: was absolutely outstanding. I love to see them go deep

521
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 4: and I love to see them win it all.

522
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: What did you think of that three that y'all hit?

523
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: I think to beat or put it into overtime against Virginia.

524
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: How high did you leave? What's the vertical look like?

525
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: I know you're not a young man anymore, but can

526
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: you still get up?

527
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: Well? You know I have to admit I was actually

528
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: I was actually engaged at the time and was not

529
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: able to see the game, But when I saw it

530
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 4: at Ball batsh agent Jim Valvano, it really did. And

531
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: like I said, I'm sure all Wolfa fans probably felt

532
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 4: like that.

533
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: I know I said last question, but Buck and I

534
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: have been talking a lot about the twenty twenty four election,

535
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: the outreach for black male voters, in particular. You're obviously

536
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: a black guy running for governor of North Carolina. Do

537
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: you see and here a lot of blackmail voters that

538
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: are way more open to Republican arguments than they may

539
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: have been in the past. And if so, if you

540
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: buy into that, why do you think it is?

541
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 4: Well, again, it's because people are tired of the status quo.

542
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: You know.

543
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: The Democrat Party has just simply taken its mask off.

544
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: When you have a president who's willing to allow the

545
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: border to stay open and allow allow us to be

546
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 4: in peril. That way, when you see a president who's

547
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 4: not interested in maintaining law and order in our cities

548
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: and it's not interested in allowing America to drill for

549
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: it's on all and have gas prices, that's how they

550
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 4: are and drive inflation through the roof. Everybody is tired

551
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: of the status quo right now, and they see that

552
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: we were much better off under a President Trump and

553
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: Republicans than we are under President Biden. They see that

554
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: here in North Carolina. They see it everywhere, and people

555
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 4: of all stripes are seeing it. And I believe that

556
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 4: black folks are going to be the same way. They're

557
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 4: tired of the status quo and they want something different

558
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 4: and they want something better. And I think they're going

559
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: to choose.

560
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Me the next governor of North Carolina. Everybody, Mark Robinson,

561
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: Mark when you win, you got to come on and

562
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: celebrate with us.

563
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: Okay, you got it. Start.

564
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, thank you, Good luck to the

565

00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We are joined now by Virginia

593
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Attorney General Jason me Arez, who is in the process

594
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: of filing a lawsuit against the NCAA and has a

595
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: big video out about that. We'll talk about that in

596
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: a sec but I just wanted to kind of start here,

597
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: mister Attorney General. I appreciate you you making the time

598
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: to join us here on Clay and Buck. How much

599
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: in play do you think the state of Virginia is

600
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: based on what you are seeing on the ground and

601
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: coming off of the Glenn Young can win that that

602
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: ushered in your entire regime? How much is Virginia in

603
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: your mind a swing state? Is it winnable given all

604
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: the third party machinations and everything else that are going

605
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: on there, Because if it were, basically Trump would be

606
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: the president. Right if Virginia were to flip, it's one

607
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: of those that republic that Democrats could not recover from.

608
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: Well, let's put it this way. In twenty twenty one,

609
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: when when you know Gorn and I we won in

610
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: twenty one that Joe Biden's approved rating in Virginia on

611
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: election right for election it was about forty nine percent

612
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: ran a one or two points ahead Biden's approbating in

613
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: Virginia right now is in the low forties. It's actually

614
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: a better political climate right now for Republicans in general

615
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: because he is so utterly failed at I think one

616
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: of the most fundamental tasks with any elect official, which

617
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: is keeping your people safe, keeping your citizens safe. It

618
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: has been an utter, complete, unmitigated adapster at the border.

619
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: To just give you things in perspective, in the last year,

620
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: we've caught one hundred and fifty members of the on

621
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: the fiscal year twenty twenty three on the Terrorists watch List,

622
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 3: the FBI Terrorist watch List. If you want to get

623
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: an idea of how many are getting through that we

624
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: don't know where they are now, multiply at number by four.

625
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: By comparison, in the year twenty twenty what was caught

626
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: and apprehended by the terrorists watch list at the border

627
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: with six. We went from six to one hundred and fifty.

628
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: And that gives you an idea from an attorney general's perspective,

629
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: what is happening at the border is one of the

630
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: single greatest national security threat in our nations. The fact

631
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: that you have federal agents now blowing the whistle and

632
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 3: saying we now have thousands of military age males that

633
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: have come to our country that we simply don't know

634
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: where they are. Because what happens is you get caught

635
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: of the border. You get the equivalent of a parking

636
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: ticket that says we'll see you in court in four years,

637
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty eight or twenty twenty nine. And that's

638
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: what eighty three percent of those that are stopped at

639
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: the border get. Is essentially they say, they get trained

640
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 3: to say I'll seek asylum, They get a court date

641
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: four or five years from now, and they leave. And

642
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: there's over a ninety percent of tonray of people that

643
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: don't have a bother to show up in court. So, yeah,

644
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: I can go off on the border all day because

645
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: it is unconscionable what it's happening. And I think as

646
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: a result, it has put every state of the border

647
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: state and I think it's putting states in play that

648
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: maybe some people are surprised.

649
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: That Attorney General Miarez, thanks for being here with us.

650
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: Can you give us a census to what the budgetary

651
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: impact may be from all the illegals in Virginia if

652
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: you have any sense of those numbers or statistics, and

653
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: also in terms of the incarcerated population at the state level.

654
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: Does Virginia keep clear numbers on how many of them

655
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 2: are illegals?

656
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: Well, our problem is the federal government isn't telling us

657
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: where they're shipping them. I'm giving you an example in

658
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: Culpeper in Virginia. We now have over twenty missing minor

659
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: children that have gone missing that what happened is the

660
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: federal government, through the Office of Refugee Resettlement, will take

661
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: them into a state, not tell anybody in local law enforcement,

662
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 3: not tell anybody in state what's happening, and then notice

663
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 3: to leave them with certain individuals that you know, local

664
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 3: cops are usually the ones that could figure out, you know,

665
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: what are the state areas one of the unsafe areas,

666
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 3: who are the people you could trust to the people

667
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: that have a reputation of nefariousness in the community. And

668
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: obviously it's been a haven for human trafficking. So now

669
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 3: you have, you know, over twenty individuals that are twenty

670
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: one miners. They have eighty thousand nationally minor children that

671
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 3: the federal government has lost track of. I think this

672
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: is one of the most astonishing stories of incompetency at

673
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: the federal level that we've ever seen. We have eighty

674
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: thousand migrant children that were placed in different states, never

675
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: notifying local law enforcement or state authorities that now they

676
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: don't know where they are. It is one of the

677
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: great scandals of our time. And we do see the crime.

678
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 3: We had a tragedy of a miner of an illegal

679
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: immigrant from Venezuela who's charged with sexual assault of a

680
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: minor outside of Lynchburg and Campbell County. We had a

681
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 3: missing team at Ohio that ended up outside of Bedford.

682
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 3: And we're seeing stories after stories like this happening. And

683
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: when I say that every state of border state is

684
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: absolutely impacting what's happening. I'll give you an example. I

685
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 3: was looking to do an anti gang kind of town

686
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: hall in Northern Virginia at a Latino church in Northern Virginia,

687
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: and our office reached out and a pastor said, listen,

688
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: keep up the good work, keep up what you're doing

689
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: in this front. I don't feel safe uh hosting this

690
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: because of retaliation. And so when people hear about the

691
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 3: word privilege, privilege are are these so many of these

692
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: left wing activists and liberals that vote for policies that

693
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: don't actually impact their community. They're not looking over their

694
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: shoulder and fear it's happening in a lot of other areas,

695
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 3: and so it is something a great concern for me.

696
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 3: You know, people ask me sometimes, what's kind in the

697
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: last name is Miaras, And I like to say it's southern,

698
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 3: it's deep South, it's Cuban. But so much of what's

699
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 3: happening with the with the illegal illegal immigration is affecting

700
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: the Latino communities as well. Part of the reason why

701
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: you're seeing the Hispanic and Latino population shifting towards the

702
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: GOP is they know that that that one party is

703
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 3: serious about about safety in their neighborhood and border security

704
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: and one party is not. And I think it's a

705
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: it's a great split.

706
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: We're talking to Attorney General Jason Miarez from uh uh,

707
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: from the Great State of Virginia. So I want to

708
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: just ask one more question then we'll circle back on

709
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: this n C doua a tournament thing, because I do

710
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: think it's so interesting. What was your reaction when you

711
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: saw MSNBC, when you saw Rachel Maddow and you saw

712
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: Jensaki making a joke about the fact that it was

713
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: motivating many voters in Virginia to vote based on immigration,

714
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: and they said, well, it does share a border with

715
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Ha ha ha ha ha. As someone who was

716
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: in charge with enforcing the law, what was your reaction

717
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: when you saw that cliff go viral?

718
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: I thought, and that was sent to me on election night,

719
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 3: I thought that sixty second clip did more to show

720
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 3: how out of touch the media elites and the legacy

721
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 3: media is, particularly on this issue, on on so many issues,

722
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: with everyday Americans. And they were mocking the fact that

723
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: exit polls that the Virginia Republican primary had that immigration

724
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: and border security was the number one issue that motivated

725
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: Republican primary voters in Virginia. And what they failed to

726
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: realize is it's only the number one issue for Republicans,

727
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: it's the number one issue by pulling by Americans across

728
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 3: the And the fact that they would get on the

729
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: MSNBC and openly mock and derived the views of everyday voters,

730
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 3: I think just was encapsulated, just pal out of touch.

731
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 3: These the legacy media outlets are when they're stuck in

732
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: their bubble and Washington, DC or New York or LA,

733
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: and they're not talking to everyday American, and they just

734
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: deride it as and dismissed that out of hand. And

735
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: it really is more reflection on them than it is

736
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: on us. I'll tell you that right now, Clay.

737
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you take it away with this name

738
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 2: and likeness stuff because I'm a novice when it comes

739
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: to NC double A name and likeness.

740
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: So you get to shoot the three on this one.

741
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: Go for it, all right. So you put up a video.

742
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: We shared it at out Kick, I shared it on

743
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: my account. You have filed a lawsuit alongside of Jonathan Scrimetti,

744
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: who is the Attorney General of Tennessee, against the nc

745
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: double A. Obviously, many of our listeners, I would say

746
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: probably a huge majority are going to be watching games Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

747
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: What is the NCAA doing that, in your mind is

748
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 1: an anti trust violation? And I thought it was really

749
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: interesting Historically you tied this into Teddy Roosevelt and what

750
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: he did as it pertained to college athletics, you know,

751
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: one hundred some odd years ago. For our audience, that

752
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: might be like buck and not really paying attention to

753
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: the nil situation, which I think there's a lot of

754
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: people who aren't paying attention. But I think they would

755
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: agree with a lot of the arguments that you're making.

756
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Explain why it matters and why people should care.

757
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: Well, I give Buck a lot more credit maybe than you,

758
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: but I would thank you the FCA First of all,

759
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: it's the cartel. That's the first thing, as in the center,

760
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: is an anti competitive cartel. The NCAA signed just a

761
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 3: couple of years ago a six billion dollar billion with

762
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: a B television contract just for the men's basketball tournament.

763
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: And how much of that money actually went to the players?

764
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: Zero dollars, while the head of the NCAA makes millions

765
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 3: of dollars of players get nothing. And I just see

766
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 3: that as anti anti American. Right, if I was a

767
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: computer science major at Virginia Tech, or if I was

768
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: to some other school in Amazon or somebody wanted to

769
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: pay me for my talent, I could be rewarded for that.

770
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 3: The only people on a college campus that can't be

771
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: rewarded for their talents are these are these athletes that

772
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 3: are generating millions upon millions, if not billions of dollars

773
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: for the NCAA and for a lot of these schools,

774
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: and they never see any never see any of it.

775
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: So a couple of years ago people took them. The

776
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: court went all the way to the Supreme Court, and

777
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 3: the NCAA smacked got smacked down by the Supreme Court,

778
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: in which Justin Cavanaugh pointed out, Listen, you never got

779
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: a anti trust waiver by Congress. You were the definition

780
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: of a violation of the Sherman anti trust back where

781
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 3: you are basically colluding in an anti competitive manner for

782
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 3: people being benefited and rewarded for the talents and just

783
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: for your listeners. And know tho, there's probably a lot

784
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 3: of your listeners thinking, well, these players do they get

785
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: college scholarships? Still? They do. But I had a former

786
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: acc quarterback share with me and said, you know, I

787
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: took the value of tuition and I divided it by

788
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 3: the number of hours that I spent in the weight room,

789
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 3: in the film room, on the practice field, traveling to

790
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: and from game day and game day, and the value

791
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: of my tuition was less than half of minimum wage.

792
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: And a lot of these players, they've never sniffed the pros.

793
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: Do they deal with the physical injuries? I have two

794
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: senior members of my staff that played college ball, and

795
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: they're at an age now they're in their forties shoulder

796
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: and back and knee injuries. They never sniffed the pros.

797
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: And my attitude is, when you get that four year

798
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 3: window where you can maximize the return, where you can

799
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 3: actually be rewarded with your talent, how in the world

800
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: are we denying them the ability of being rewarded for

801
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 3: the talent. That's just the basic Unamerican anti freedom of

802
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 3: contract issue. And so I think the NCAA has been

803
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: doing wrong by our player. They've been exploiting it for

804
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: too long. It's something I've been passionate about, and so

805
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm really proud to team up with Jonathan Schimette, the

806
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: great Attorney General in Tennessee, on taking this big issue

807
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 3: on because I think it's going It's been going on

808
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: for too long, and we're happy to stand with the

809
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 3: student athletes.

810
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: Attorney General Mirez of Virginia, Sir, appreciate it. Thanks so

811
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: much for being here with us.

812
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: Always a joy, great fan of the show. Thanks guys,

813
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 3: appreciate it.

814
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. By the way. Virginia Cavaliers, EH, yesterday,

815
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: what did you watch that game?

816
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 3: I did, but I'm a Jay and you grad So

817
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 3: we got the Dukes coming up against Wisconsin and maybe

818
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: in the second round we'll get the Dukes versus Duke,

819
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 3: so we'll see.

820
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: Good luck. JAMU has been on a tear with their

821
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 1: athletics program of lab.

822
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. Amen, thanks, I appreciate it.

823
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I clar I gotta say the case being made

824
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 2: over name and likeness, I find it personally very compelling.

825
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: So it's really very fascinating because college athletics are changing

826
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: in a massive way, in a rapid fashion, and I

827
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of people kind of fill out of

828
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: sorts a bit. But this lawsuit I agree with. It's

829
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: the really operating look.

830
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 2: Some of these sports operate, as this is from an outsider,

831
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: but without the emotional attachments to college athletics. They're like

832
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: minor league franchises, basically using university facilities and campuses, benefiting

833
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: the university and the campus financially, not the players. But

834
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 2: then it also gets into this like if you're being

835
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: recruited to play basketball at this or that school, are

836
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: you really a student athlete or are you an athlete

837
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: student as in, are you a professional athlete who is

838
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: taking classes on the side. Maybe there should be more

839
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: honesty about that as well. I have some very I

840
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: would argue sane but probably unpopular views on all of

841
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 2: these things. So we'll continue to watch this one very closely.

842
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: And now on to the Preborn Network of Clinics, my friends,

843
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: this is such an important mission. The Preborn Network of

844
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: Clinics are the nation's leader and introducing mothers with unplanned

845
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: pregnancies to their babies. They do that by offering free

846
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 2: ultrasounds to women who are visiting their clinics. Because once

847
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: a mom hears that heartbeat and sees that precious life

848
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: growing inside of her on that ultrasound machine, twice as

849
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: likely to choose life. Preborn is a nonprofit that has

850
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 2: clinics nationwide, and they're often in communities where abortionit rates

851
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 2: are tragically the highest. They don't receive any Preborn government funding.

852
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 2: It's only from you, the pro life community, and your

853
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: donations that they're able to save lives. By your donations,

854
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: Preborn has rescued over two hundred and eighty thousand babies

855
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 2: and they don't stop there. They provide love, support and

856
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 2: counseling for up to two years for free when mothers.

857
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: Give birth to their babies.

858
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars. Twenty eight bucks

859
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty dollars and remember this is a

860
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: tax tax deductible donation. One hundred and forty dollars would

861
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: help the rescue five babies lives. So please, if you

862
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: can make a donation today, dial pound two five zero
