Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: I hope all of you are recovering from what was 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: I hope a spectacular Fourth of July weekend. I hope 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: you were out and about celebrating because of all the 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: left wing louns out there who are trying to make 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: you feel like the Fourth of July is the worst 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: thing that's ever happened on the planet. Stock market down big, 9 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: don't check your four oh one case again as inflation 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: fears continue to grow. Joe Biden has hit a new 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: low in his overall approval rating in the Monmouth poll, 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: which is one of those that pretty regularly sort of 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: trots out what exactly is going on. He is nearly 14 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: this is where I'm starting to pay attention now. He 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: is nearly at sixty percent disapproval thirty six percent approval. 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: And we know how much the polls have already been 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: biased in President Biden's favor fifty nine percent disapproval. Hitting 18 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: sixty percent disapproval is virtually unheard of. The people who 19 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: believe that the direction of our country is going in 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: the right direction. Ten percent. Joe Biden came into office 21 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: arguing that he was going to unite America. Well, so far, 22 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: what he has managed to do this is an unbelievable 23 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: stat Really, it's virtually impossible to do. Nearly ninety percent 24 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: That is near an all time low as long as 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: they have been pulling. We had a shooting in the 27 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Chicago suburbs, which certainly is going to be discussed. It 28 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: appears that there is another crazy actor out there based 29 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: on this guy's social media profiles and buck what I'm 30 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: concerned about. We talked about this last week. Democrats appear 31 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: aware that they are going to lose the House. Potentially, 32 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to have a one hundred year high 33 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: in the number of seats that they could have in 34 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives and que the panic. That means 35 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: that Democrats may not be in power in the White 36 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: House and in Congress again for years. So what are 37 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: they talking about? A massive tax increase that reportedly they 38 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: need to get passed before the end of July, so 39 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: we need to run out the clock. There is lots 40 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: of jockeying going on on Capitol Hill with Senators and 41 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: congressmen set to return before they leave for the fall 42 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: campaign season. We are sitting at almost exactly four months 43 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: out from the mid term elections, and Buck Sexton was 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: trending all weekend, long after he took a shot at 45 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: the city of Asheville. I couldn't believe it. I was 46 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: sitting on the beach. I looked down at the trending 47 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: topics and Buck is at war with the good people 48 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: who hold the whole. I'm throwing a flag here, mister Clay. 49 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm throwing a flag. I Asheville is a place with 50 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: great viewed, beautiful, very nice people. I arrived and I 51 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: just was a little bit taken aback, and I don't 52 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: know we should I want to get back to the 53 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: bigger news stories, although we should talk about this a 54 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: little bit, Clay. In downtown Asheville, there are not only 55 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: masks on most of the employees in stores and businesses 56 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: you come up to us, which is shocking to you 57 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: and given it to North Carolina like even worse than 58 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: New York. It was worse than New York City and 59 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: ninety five masks. There were mask required songs on some stores. 60 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Most of the stores that I saw because you know, 61 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to go see you know, it's Asheville. They're 62 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: selling wind chimes and patuli and whatever. Yeah, you know, 63 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I was going to check out.

I just said, there's a lot of masks here. 69 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Could we come back to this later, because I need 70 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: to dunk on some libs. There are some libs, some 71 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: blue checks you need to get dunked on. This is 72 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: now insane. They have a mental health issue. Wearing an 73 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: N ninety five as some kind of virtue signaling lunacy 74 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: and making employees do it. Well, we'll come back to that, though, 75 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: What do you say, because I want I want to 76 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: tee off on some individuals in particular who really deserve it. 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: But yeah, I know, I had a lovely time in Ashville, Karen. 78 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: I had a great time, fun town, good food, lots 79 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: of trending the whole weekend. Long after you got there 80 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: nationally trending Ashville. I don't know what what was the 81 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: last time Asheville nationally trended on Twitter. I don't know, 82 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: It's probably been a while, but yes, okay, So can 83 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: we talk about the So you're talking about the bidministration 84 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: at Clay and the polling, and obviously over this weekend 85 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: there were there were shootings that happened. There was the 86 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: big shooting the park Land I'm sorry, Highland Park rather 87 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: Highland Park shooting that occurred was getting a lot of attention. 88 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: And then when you look at the number of how 89 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: many people were also shot in the city of Chicago, 90 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Clay idiots, mind blowing. Um. You know, we thought there'd 91 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: be a lot of shootings over the weekend, just because 92 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: historically there tend to be. There were this is Chicago city, 93 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: not including the mass shooting that occurred in Highland Park, 94 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: which is I think is that north a little bit 95 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: north of Chicago. I don't know the Chicago area that well. 96 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: In the city itself Clay, over the fourth of July weekend, 97 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: seventy one people were shot, eight were killed. Seventy one people. Yeah, 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean I remember when I was, when I was, 99 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, looking at what was going on in the 100 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: war zones to the CIA. If we had had a 101 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: weekend we took seventy one military casualties, people would have said, 102 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, it would have been a major battle. 103 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: We would have been in the middle of the Battle 104 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: of Felujah or something. I mean, that's a lot of 105 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: people to get shot over a weekend. And we just 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: had a by quote by partisan, A number of senators 107 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: went along with this, and what did we say. It's 108 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: not gonna stop shootings, and it's not even gonna stop 109 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: Democrats from demanding that we do more the next time. 110 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: It's never, it's never like, Okay, we've gotten the laws right, 111 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: we now just have to enforce them better. Their goal 112 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: is to end the Second Amendment. Total, that's their goal. 113 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: That's it. And when we know this, so that's why, 114 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: when you know, we get the the moral the moral 115 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: lectures and the virtue signing from the mit Romneys and 116 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham went along with it. I hope people remember 117 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: who went along with this. Not only are we now 118 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: hearing more calls for gun control, the gun control package 119 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: that just passed would have done effectively nothing to stop 120 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: this mass shooting and clearly didn't stop the seventy one 121 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: shootings or seventy one people from being shot and eight 122 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: killed in Chicago over the weekend. Well, and it's symptomatic 123 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: of the overall violence in which this country is descending into. 124 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: And Buck, I'm afraid and I bet you also have 125 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the same fear that to your point, the shootings overwhelmingly 126 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: increase in the summer. There are a lot of reasons 127 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: for that. It's hot, people are out of their houses, 128 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: kids are out of school, there's a lot more free time, 129 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: and free time for idle hands often creates more issues 130 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: in many of these cities. We've had a lot of 131 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: police officers retiring. Many of these police officer corps are 132 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: not strongly staffed right now, so there's fewer officers on 133 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: the street. We continue to arrest and return all of 134 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: these vigilantes who were being arrested constantly for violent acts 135 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: that are being permitted to go back out in the streets. 136 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: And Buck, I try not to name ever the shooters 137 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: and any of these mass shooting events, because I do 138 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that people who are like 139 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: us media can do to help. But I have to 140 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: say every time one of these guys shoots, you look 141 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: at their social media profile and you can watch one 142 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: two minute video and say, this guy, and they're almost 143 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: always guys, is mentally unstable. And I can't impress upon 144 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: you how often this occurs, where you watch the video 145 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: and even if this kid wasn't going to be a 146 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: mass shooter, you're like, this kid is seriously mentally out 147 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: of touch and something bad is going to happen. And 148 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I watch that guy's videos and I feel the same way, Clay. 149 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: You look at the shooter, and I'm by I agree 150 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: with with your general position. No, there's no need to 151 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: name him. It doesn't the name. His name doesn't matter 152 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: any good way of one of these guys are trying 153 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: to get, trying to get they're shooting, so we try 154 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: not to. But I mean, obviously, if there's a situation 155 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: where there's somebody we're on air and there's a mass 156 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: shooter who's loose on the city, there are times there's 157 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: not a hard and fast, rare exception. But but so 158 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: you look at this individual the photos of him, and 159 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and I mean this, and I'm not trying 160 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: to be judgment you know, judgmental in a way that 161 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: goes beyond this this instance. But you said, well, that 162 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: guy's crazy. Yes, I mean you look at him. He's 163 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: got blue hair tattoos all over his face, and he 164 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: just look into his eyes, and I mean this, there's 165 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: something about the eyes of these shooters. The kids. A psychopath, 166 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: all right, he's twenty two years old. He's a psychopath. 167 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: And so now we're gonna have a real conversation. He 168 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: bought it legally, he's twenty two there, you know, so 169 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: none of the discussions in recent weeks. But how we're 170 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: gonna stop unless the position of the left is, you 171 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: know it only the Second Amendment only covers muskets, We're 172 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: gonna take all your guns, which some of them, you 173 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: see this all over social media. They will say that 174 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: it's crazy, which I respect because at least they're being 175 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: honest about that's the true. Yes, But I mean it's 176 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: crazy in terms of policy because it's never going to happen, 177 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: and I think it would lead to I think government 178 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: confiscation of all firearms would lead to a very very, 179 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: very bad state of affairs in the country. Just putting 180 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: it madly. But so none of the things they've talked 181 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: about would have changed the situation with this individual. Accept 182 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: the mental health angle. Now, let's look at this. You 183 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: and I and anyone listening could have looked at a 184 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: photo of this kid, and certainly if you sit down 185 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: and sit down and chatted with him and to spoke 186 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: to him a little bit, and law enforcement was aware 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: of it. Watch his videos that he was posting on 188 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: social media. He's clearly unwell. So what can we do 189 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: about this? And now? And I asked this because I 190 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: don't have an answer, But if we want to have 191 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: a discussion to stop this, I believe this is the 192 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: pathway you go down. Are we willing to take someone 193 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: like this who has until this instance, until this mass murder, 194 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe he had ever had he broken the law? 195 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Was there any criminal record of I haven't seen any 196 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: criminal record. He had done nothing criminal before this? Are 197 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: we willing to say this guy is a psychopath. We're 198 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: going to lock him up for being a psycho under 199 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: mental under a mental health issue? Yea. And by the way, 200 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: how long do we hold him? Is this a life 201 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: sentence for being a psychopath? And I'm not asking this rhetorically, 202 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: I really don't know, but that's what we're dealing with 203 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: this is someone who was deranged, and there's seven billion 204 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: people plus in the world, and they're going to be evil, 205 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: deranged maniacs. So what do we do. I think it's 206 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: a fabulous discussion that an adult country would have. I 207 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: also think a part of this discussion, and I know 208 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: there are some exceptions, is why did the mass shooter 209 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: phenomenon basically start to a large extent. I know you 210 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: had the shooting from the tower in Texas and the 211 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: University of Texas, and there are exceptions out. Yeah, there's 212 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: the Scottish school massacre in the nineties, and there's been 213 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: there have been shooting stretching back for a long time. 214 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: But by and large, this is something that seems to 215 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: have started around the time of Columbine right early nineties, 216 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: where people just started to take weapons. We had widely 217 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: available weapons in the United States for hundreds of years. Buck, 218 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: you know guns way better than I do. But we've 219 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: had high capacity, we've had the ability to do this 220 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: in the fifties and the sixties and the seventies, it 221 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: didn't happen. By and large, why did and why have 222 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: mass shootings? And again, I want to point out two 223 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: to the data that you shared, seventy one people got 224 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: shot in Chicago. Most of those were not mass shootings. 225 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Mass shootings are a small part of the overall. It 226 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: was gang and criminal violence in Chicago, which is ninety 227 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: nine percent of or ninety five percent of the murders 228 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: that are occurring in Chicago on a regular basis. But 229 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: the way that we covered these by and large is 230 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: a mass shooting because of the fear factor, right, because 231 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: anybody can think, Hey, I'm at a July fourth parade, 232 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: what if somebody brings out a gun. We saw in Philadelphia, 233 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: we saw the shooting in the Chicago area. Why have 234 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: the mass shootings despite the fact that guns were extremely prevalent, 235 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: like I said, in the fifties, sixty seventies, and eighties, 236 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: why have they started in the nineties and spread? And 237 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm not claiming to know the answer. I would love 238 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: to hear from people out there. You can tweet us, 239 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: you can call in eight hundred two A two two 240 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: eight two? Do you have I'm sure it's many things. 241 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: Do you have a thesis buck on why in the nineties, 242 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: after two hundred years, he's limited mass The problem has happened. 243 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: The problem with is and maybe it'd be good to 244 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: have on. The guy that I know who has the 245 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: data cold nose the numbers would be John Lott. So 246 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: maybe we invite John on to talk about this, because 247 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: when you look at when we talk about mass shootings, 248 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: there's also a lot of ways they expand the numbers. Right, 249 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: They'll say it's two or more people shot. Right, Well, 250 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: if there's a gang dispute on the corner and the 251 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: guy fires off a bunch of rounds, that's a mass shooting. 252 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: But it's not a mass shooting in the context of 253 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: a mass murder by psychopath that you are targeted, you 254 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: can see that shooting as right, still murder, but but 255 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: it's a different circumstances, different situation. We're talking about these 256 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: random acts of mass murder shootings. Uh, they're statistically still 257 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: And anytime this happens, no, you know, everyone says, oh, 258 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: how could you say this? It is a fact. They're 259 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: statistically very rare. I think that a big part of 260 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: it is our perception is driven by the access that 261 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: we all have to constant news and information sources to 262 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: believe that they are considerably more common than they actually 263 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: are statistically. And you're right, I believe there is an incline, 264 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: even even John I think John Lot would tell us 265 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: there's been a bit of an incline over the last 266 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: fifteen years. But it's from twelve mass shootings to fifteen 267 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: mass shootings to set you're you're talking about a very 268 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: small number overall, and now you're asking how do we 269 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: stop this? It starts to get to be a little 270 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: bit like how do you stop a super low probability 271 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: but high impact event, And that's incredibly complicated. Yeah, and 272 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is, but I understand 273 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: why events like what happened in Chicago and on a 274 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: smaller scale, what happened in Philadelphia, they capture the public 275 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: fear in a way that to your point, Buck, two 276 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: guys who get into an argument and are eighteen years 277 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: old and end up shooting at each other, that's a 278 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: targeted act of violence you can avoid in theory. A 279 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: targeted act of violence that you're not involved in, you 280 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: can't avoid if some crazy guy decides to start shooting 281 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: at you from a tall building and a public event 282 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: like a July fourth parade. Folks will come back into 283 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: more of this in a second.

National radio host sneers at people 336 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: in Asheville, and it set off a war on Twitter. 337 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: Was the Charlotte Observer here, I didn't sneer at the 338 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: people of Ashville. That is actually that's just a lie, 339 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: that's not even true. Yes, I mean I obviously chose 340 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: to go there on vacation. I'm looking forward to enjoy 341 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: my time there. All I wrote that started this huge war, 342 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: Okay on Twitter online was higher percentage of mask wears 343 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: in Asheville, North Carolina then back in Manhattan. What is 344 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: going on here? That is it? I didn't say everyone 345 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: here Saturday morning Saturday around lunchtime, maybe eleven am noon, 346 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: and it just completely took off. All these people freaked out. 347 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: One one fellow who sort of looks like Moby on steroids. 348 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find his name. He's a fitness influencer 349 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: who actually decided to tell me what his deadlift was. 350 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna find this because this is this is If 351 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: you want a window into the left wing mind, you've 352 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: got way to I'm gonna track this with docause it's 353 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: really where did it go? Darn well? You track that down, 354 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: I'll explain for it. Wait wait, wait o here here 355 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: I found it, mister Brad Stollberg. Again. Like I said, 356 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: if if Moby were taking a lot of HGH, he 357 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: would look somewhat like Not that I'm saying this gentleman 358 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: takes anything. I'm just saying he's like resembles Moby, but 359 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: much more jacked. Hi buck, Welcome to Asheville. COVID rates 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: are pretty high, really, and for many people wearing a 361 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: mask isn't all that hard. I deadlift four hundred and 362 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: fifty pounds, parent a rowdy young kid, train, write books 363 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: and so on. I don't want to get sick and 364 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: wearing a mask is the easiest thing to do. Four 365 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: thousand likes from the lib community on that one, and 366 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: this is and any road k and ninety five masks 367 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: are pretty effective. No, actually also not true. So I 368 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: just pop one on when I go inside stores and 369 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: the like. I've had no issue with the practice. So 370 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: my guess is that is what you are seeing. And 371 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: then he went on to say a bunch of other 372 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: sort of snarky things about me to his lib audience friends. 373 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: Let me just say, to mister Stallberg, I would suggest 374 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: you read more and lift less, because even the New 375 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: York Times, as we have had them on. We've had 376 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: a New York Times writer on the show, David's Wise 377 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: or New York Magazine rather, but New York Times has 378 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: written about this too, So either one actually works. Mask 379 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: mandates have done nothing. It's not that they haven't done 380 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot, They've actually completely failed to show any efficacy 381 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: anywhere in the country. And as for why I care, 382 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: when I walk into a place in the middle of 383 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: July and it's eighty degrees outside and there are staff members, 384 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: and it was all over downtown and I'm from Manhattan, 385 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: so I'm used to seeing mask maniacs. Clay. Sorry, as 386 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm very fired off pets, and they had 387 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: end ninety five masks on. There are children that I 388 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: saw with N ninety five masks on, but I'm not 389 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: even talking about that. That's child abuse. Though. There are 390 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: people that work in these stores who have no choice, 391 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: no one asks them, and there are masks required signs outside. 392 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: Why is Bernie Sanders voting left wing lunacy tied to 393 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: end ninety five mask wearing? If it's about science, that 394 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: is the question that I posed to these people. This 395 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: is also funny to me on many different levels. Let 396 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: me start here, has anyone ever posted their deadlift ability 397 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: and it made you trust their opinion on something other 398 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: than deadlifting? More So, if I was like, I'm Clay Travis, 399 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: a bitch Press two twenty five, and I believe that 400 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: mask wearing is important, would you be like, Oh, I 401 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: didn't trust his opinion on the mask, but when he 402 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: told me what he bingched, then suddenly I'm like, this 403 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: dude knows what he's talking about. I would just ask you, 404 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: is your deadlift ever been connected in any way to 405 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: a position where you would trust someone more like I 406 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: deadlift for fifty and I think that we should build 407 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: the wall or not build the wall. Would you be like, well, 408 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: I didn't trust this guy's opinion on the wall, but 409 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: then he told me what he deadlifted, and now I'm 410 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: all in. So that to me is funny, Like, regardless 411 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: of who you are, what your political opinion is, if 412 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: you put your deadlift in your political opinion, anyone who 413 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: trust you more is a total imbecile. I'm gonna tell 414 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: mister Stallberg when he when he can deadlift five fifty, 415 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: then I want to hear his science taste. Then I 416 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: want to hear the science takes and so so. But 417 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: I dealt with and this is what drove me soon say. 418 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: But by the way I was, I was honestly surprised. 419 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't there all these people. Look, why do you 420 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: go somewhere to start a fight. I'm in New York City, man, 421 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: Like I see the mask stuff all the time. It 422 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: was jarring how many people, and it was all in 423 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: the stores, mostly people on the streets a little bit too. 424 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that they were the employees. There 425 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: were masks And I took photos because they always say 426 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: you're lying, I actually have photo evidence of this. Masks 427 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: required for stores still and this is a mental illness. Okay, yeah, 428 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: that's what I care because these people need to stop 429 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: being crazy. And the reason they need to stop being 430 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: crazy is that this isn't about and these are the same. 431 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: This is the same mentality we all had to mask 432 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: up on planes. Remember when they got were to the 433 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: plane mask mandate? Does anyone care anymore? Know? Because it's 434 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: for people that are emotionally unwell. Okay, they made us 435 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: do this, and they want and this is what I'm 436 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: telling everybody across the country. Biden is still president, folks, 437 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: even for two years. They want to do this again. 438 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: They have not given up. They do not admit that 439 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: they are wrong. They are abusing children by making them 440 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: wear masks. They are mandating the vaccine for small kids 441 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: in New York City. This fight is not over. And 442 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: so I don't like this argument of oh, why do 443 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: you care so much? Because they want to make all 444 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: of us do it just when they can get the 445 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: political power to do it. And then beyond that, I 446 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: actually am a nice guy, Clay. I want to free 447 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: their faces. I want them to breathe as human beings 448 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: have breathed for all of human history. I want them 449 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: to enjoy the nice, patrully smelling air in downtown Asheville, 450 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't want them to have to feel this 451 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: way anymore. I'm actually on their side, they just don't 452 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: know it. What I also thought was funny, in addition 453 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: to your deadlifter, somebody at a comic bookstore came after 454 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: me because I just pointed out I didn't even know 455 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: this was trending yet. I was on the beach with 456 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: my kids, like, I'm having a great time and I 457 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: saw your tweet. I'm checking to see what the news was, 458 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: and I saw your tweet, and I just responded to 459 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: Asheville's like a great city basically, but they've also gone 460 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: gotten taken over by the woke. They voted for reparations 461 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: as well. And the Asheville comic book store came after me. 462 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: And the comic bookstore, which was perfect, had the Ukraine 463 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: flag in it, and you know, as if you're like 464 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: going around shopping, You're like, I don't know where I'm 465 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: gonna get the newest Marvel, the newest Marvel comic book. 466 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: Have you ever not been awful? Please don't come here. 467 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: We don't want you that was from Asheville Comics, which 468 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: had the Ukraine flag in it. But Buck, I've been 469 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: in this situation that Kathy Griffin waiting this one. I 470 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: don't even see that till now this is gone. This 471 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: is gone the thermonuclear viral clays. Well, what I'm picturing 472 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: you is you're on vacation. It's July fourth. You dash 473 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: off what you think is a relatively innocuous that's always sharing. 474 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: To me, I say, sharing your impressions. You're there with 475 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: your girlfriend and her family. This reminds me of my 476 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: situation once before, when I was like to my wife, 477 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: I only have to do one more interview. It's Friday, 478 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this CNN hit and then we're gonna 479 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: take the kids out for pizza and we're just gonna 480 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: chill for the weekend. It's been a long week. We've 481 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: been working hard. And I said I believe in the 482 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: First Amendment in boobs and it just blew up for 483 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: multi days and my wife was like, yeah, I guess 484 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: we're not going out for pizza now. And I'm like, yeah, 485 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm picturing you just dashing off what you think is 486 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: an innocuous tweet. We got the biggest radio audience in 487 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: the country. You're on Fox News all the time too, 488 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: sharing all sorts of opinions, and suddenly you're fighting a 489 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: battle with everybody in the state of North Carolina over masks, 490 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: and you totally never anticipated it would blow up like 491 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: it did. No earthly idea. I talk about so much 492 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: more controversial stuff, and yet this went completely just went 493 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: completely nuts over the weekend. But I see so many 494 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: of the arguments that are being made, and it's fascinating. 495 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: One of my favorites. And these people are very and 496 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not singling individuals. I don't even 497 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: I'm talking about blue checks, people that are verified, have 498 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: an audience and platform themselves or have a platform as 499 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: part of their living. They're so dumb, yes, I mean 500 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: so many of them are so deeply stupid, and people 501 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: listen to them. And I mean, for example, they keep saying, 502 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: you know that this I made some anti freedom comment. 503 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm not the one that wants people wrestled on planes 504 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: and you know, arrested in front of their family members 505 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: for not masking up or whatever. I'm just saying, hey, guys, 506 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: stop being morons. Learn to read. They don't work Okay, 507 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: and for the people that say, oh, ninety five is 508 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: really effective for the millionth time, if you wear a 509 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: sealed and ninety five mask for one hundred percent of 510 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: the time, you could possibly be exposed to people who 511 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: have COVID. Yes, you will probably reduce your risk of COVID. 512 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: The moment that you decide, oh, it's bar night and 513 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to wear the mask, You're getting COVID 514 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: just like the rest of us. All right, So this 515 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: it's all virtue signaling. I didn't. I mean New York Times, 516 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: Writers Way and Khaki Griffin, They're all pilot on the Buster. 517 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: My girlfriend's family lives in Asheville. Okay, I'm there because 518 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make friends with the town of Asheville. 519 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: I don't hate Asheville at all. I thought it was lovely. 520 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: You're just trending everywhere on vacation. It is a perfect 521 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: example of you never know when something is. This reminds 522 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: me of when you blew up over the Simone Biles 523 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: comments early in our tenure, like you're everywhere because of 524 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: your opinion about Simone Biles. I made it. I made 525 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: a joke about how milk should just mean cow milk 526 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: and not the other milks. Those should be called like 527 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: juice of the almond or whatever. And I got dragged 528 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: for four days on I'm like, well, what is to look? Sorry, 529 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: the free market's given you so many options. What is 530 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: wrong with all you idiots? Anyway, Twitter is full of 531 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: libs and morons, So this is what you deal with, folks. 532 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: But anyway, Asheville food, very nice, lots of great, great times, 533 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: people went to beautiful waterfalls.

He is Foxes 572 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Giano Caldwell. I saw you, Giano on Sean Hannity Show 573 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: last week. I think we were on the same day 574 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: telling the story of your brother, and we know this 575 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: is an incredibly difficult time for you and your family, 576 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: but we wanted to help you, hopefully help solve this, 577 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: solve this tragedy for your family.

Well, Clay, 583 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: thank you for having me on, and Buck, I'm not 584 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: sure if he's in the studio with you, but I'm here. Gianno, 585 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. No, thank you, thank you. For 586 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: answering my message right away and saying yes, you can 587 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: come on. You know my baby brother. Just two fridays ago, 588 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: it was a Friday morning, I received a call saying 589 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: that he was outside of a venue and Chicago on 590 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: the south side one hundred and fourteen South Vincen's to 591 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: be exact, right across the street from a church. Unfortunately enough, 592 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: he was outside standing next to two individuals when a 593 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: black SUV pulled up. Three to four men got out 594 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: of that car and they began firing. Fifty showcasings were 595 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: found at the scene. Man, I just got to the 596 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: point where I can mention this and not profusely tear up, 597 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: So thank you for bearing with me. Two or three 598 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: people hid in total, a young lady hitting a leg, 599 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: another gentleman, or rather another guy I should say, he 600 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: was shot, rushed to the hospital surgery, had to have 601 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: other surgeries performed since then. But my baby brother, Christian 602 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: never had that opportunity to be in critical care, to 603 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: even have the possibility of life. His life was ended 604 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: right there. From that point on, I recognized, especially after 605 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: trying to think through what would be the next steps, 606 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: knowing that there were these men at large, who just 607 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: murdered my baby brother. Not shot, simply shot or killed, 608 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: but they murdered him. They stole his life from him. 609 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: What is it was I going to do next? When 610 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: was I going to make it public? And it hit 611 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: me right away because I couldn't sleep. I gotta get 612 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: out and start doing press, because I need to ensure 613 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: that the men who murdered my baby brother are brought 614 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: to justice. So I knew immediately I had to post this, 615 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: and thank god I worked for the premier news organization 616 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: in the world, who thirty minutes later after I posted, 617 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: made sure that there were articles and started talking about 618 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: it on shows on Sunday and then doing press Monday 619 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: and continuing on and on to ensure that there's justice 620 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: for Christian. Our hearts are broken, our hearts are shattered. 621 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: We can not believe this happened to our little brother. 622 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: But what's really really heartbreaking for so many people is 623 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: this is something that occurs in the city of Chicago 624 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: on a daily consistent basis. You simply don't know their 625 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: names because they're not related to Gianno calledwell, they don't 626 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: have someone with a microphone they can talk about it 627 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: and hopefully get justice. These individuals have no names. They're 628 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: just another count and a daily homicide rate in the 629 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: city of Chicago. And it is heartbreaking that so many 630 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: other people have to deal with that. But while I 631 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: reach for justice for my little brother, I want to 632 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: reach for justice for them as well. But now I'm 633 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: here today to talk obviously about Christian, who was murdered 634 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: and life was stolen from us. We speaking to Giano 635 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: Caldwell of Fox News. Gianno, I know that the killers, 636 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: the murderers here are still at large. Do we have 637 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: any and you've also asked for anybody who may have 638 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: tips to reach out to you directly. Do we have 639 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: any indication as to what was this? Is it believe 640 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: that any of the victims knew or that Christian knew 641 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: who these shooters were. Was it a totally random criminal act? 642 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: Did you have any context for people, because if there's 643 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: anyone out there listening who may know something that might 644 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: be helpful. Okay, so the individuals again, we're in a 645 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: black SUV three to four African American gentleman dreads. The 646 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: police have told me that my brother Christian was not 647 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: then to the target. He was not. Folks are calling 648 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: it wrong place, wrong, time. But the problem in Chicago 649 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: is you can be land in bed, sleeping and it 650 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: happens to be the wrong place, wrong time when a 651 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: bullet comes through your window, or like a senior citizen 652 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: water in their grass and they get shot murdered, or 653 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: just a kid simply being in the backseat of a 654 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: car at five months five months old. They're at the 655 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: wrong place, wrong time, and there they're being The erosion 656 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: of life in the city of Chicago has become a 657 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: desperate level. People do not value life in that city, 658 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: and that's a problem. That is a problem that needs 659 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: to be sick. There is a need to get tougher 660 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: on the criminals there. We had a whole two years, 661 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: probably more than that, where police have been nothing but 662 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: demoralized across the country. Criminals feel free to commit these crimes, 663 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: They feel free to murder. They don't acquiesce to the 664 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: policies of the law of the land. They don't fear 665 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: that anymore because we have an entire society who's literally 666 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: turned their backs on the police who are meant to 667 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: protect us. So, yeah, these individuals in terms of contacts 668 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: African American men dreads. They were in a black sub 669 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: my little brother. To the best of my knowledge and 670 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: what the police are saying, didn't I know these individuals. 671 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: He just happened to be there and he lost his 672 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: life because he lived and dare to breathe on the 673 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: South side of Chicago. Gianna is happening? Go ahead, No, 674 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. I know it is happening with far 675 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: too high a frequency. We talked about the number of shootings. 676 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: Over seventy people shot over just this one weekend, seventy 677 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 1: one shot, eight killed over the fourth of July weekend. 678 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: And it's just unbelievable and awful the number of people 679 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: that are losing their lives and that are being grievously 680 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: injured in this way. Has anyone from either the police 681 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: department in Chicago or the Mayor's office Laurie Lightfoot's office 682 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: reach out? I mean, given your national profile and the 683 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: way this story is getting a national level of media attention, 684 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: has it didn't reached out to say they're on it. 685 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: Has it didn't reached out to say we're not going 686 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: to let this slip through the cracks? Well you I 687 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: was the former spokesman for the National Organization of Black 688 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: Law Enforcement Executives and I've spoken with a number of 689 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: leaders there and they assured me that the Superintendent of 690 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: Police is aware, he's all over it. I've not spoken 691 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: with them directly. I've spoken with the detective on the case, 692 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: but not with the superintendent. I'm not talking to the 693 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: mayor's office. We've requested a meeting with the mayor's office, 694 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: and you know it's it's just because I work for 695 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: Fox News. I think that there could be some considerations 696 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: with them meeting with us or even talking about the case. 697 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: That's I believe that could be a part of it. 698 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't have anything to confirm it, but that seems 699 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: to be a sentiment among what people are telling me. 700 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: So no, I haven't had that opportunity that my only 701 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: bully pulpit is to be on radio with you guys, 702 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: with your large audience, or with Fox News or with 703 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: the local media, driving home the point about my brother's 704 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: death and the fact that there's many many victims like 705 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: him in the city of Chicago that are losing their 706 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: lives daily, salutely, and it's something that needs to end. 707 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: This is really something that should be telling for the 708 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: Chicago police or the leaders in the city of Chicago. 709 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: Of what kind of environment that has been created there. 710 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: Just that last Friday, downtown Chicago, there was a mass 711 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: shooting right down the street from the Mayor's office. We're 712 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: talking about blocks, the blocks from the Governor's office. If 713 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: you can't be safe downtown Chicago, where can you be 714 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: safe anywhere in the city of Chicago. This has happened 715 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: in the areas that aren't. It isn't about black on 716 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: black crime. It's happening all over the city and it 717 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: needs to come to an end. So if anyone knows 718 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: any information about my brother's Christians murder, please call the 719 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: Chicago Police and I have a number for you here 720 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: three one two seven four seven eight two seven one.

Your family's 729 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: tragedy is overwhelming I know to you. I'm sure also 730 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: that you're hearing from so many other families that are 731 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: also overwhelmed with similar issues of violence in Chicago and 732 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: frankly all over the country, and many of them. I 733 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: think your point is so well made. Don't have the 734 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: resources to reach out to media, and media looks the 735 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: other way. Why is it that so many of these 736 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: murders that are happening don't receive any attention at all? 737 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: And what can we do to change that across America? 738 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: You know what? And I'll tell you. If we're using 739 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: Chicago as an example, that's Friday night on local affiliated 740 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: not a Fox affiliate it, but a local affiliate in 741 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: the city of Chicago. They said, hey, three three people shot, 742 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: eighteen year old murdered. That was it. That was it. 743 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's not a lot of press attention around 744 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: these issues. Because of the frequency, people will become numb 745 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: to them. It's just another shooting. While that's sad, whether 746 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: it be in the city of Chicago or Baltimore or Detroit. 747 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: Even some have become numb to what just happened in 748 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: Highland Park just yesterday in a parade, there's folks saying, yeah, 749 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 1: we need to move on. And then there's also people 750 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: who are disingenuously saying that we need more gun control. 751 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: When there was an assault weapons ban in Highland Parks, 752 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: you already the gun control was already there. And we're 753 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: talking about one of the most prominent cities, north shore 754 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: cities in the US, actually in the US, but certainly 755 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: in Illinois. We've become numb to these things because of 756 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: the frequency, and I think what people need to do 757 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: is continue to make their voices heard, whether it be 758 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: on social media or even reaching out. If you have 759 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: a family member who's who's been murdered, reach out to 760 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: that print journalists on whatever website for your local newspaper, 761 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: find out who reports on this, send them an email, 762 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: beg and plead for a call with them, tell them 763 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: your story. You gotta reach out to folks Instagram, Twitter, 764 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: whatever medium you might have available to you. Use those resources, 765 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: call those people and someone eventually will hear you. So 766 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: you gotta just be persistent. I'm just blessed to being 767 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: a place that this is what I do for a living, 768 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: But what about the others that don't have that access. 769 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,439 Speaker 1: This is what you can do. You can just reach out, 770 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: find them on Twitter, find them on Instagram, find them 771 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: on Facebook, and someone will more than likely respond to 772 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: you if you're persistent.

I don't know if you even 811 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: saw this, because you were too busy, you know, fighting 812 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: the swarm of commies around me, like like buzzing bees. 813 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:59,720 Speaker 1: I ESPN Buck, which is increasingly unreadable and unwatchable because 814 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: of a it's wokenus. I woke up on July fourth 815 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Hey, you know what I'm gonna do. 816 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the July fourth Parade. I'm gonna 817 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: watch some fireworks and take my kid down to the 818 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: beach and have a good time with everybody there. And 819 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: we did all that. But I woke up early on 820 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: July fourth and ESPN had published a piece on its 821 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: main website as its feature essentially arguing that America is awful. 822 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: And I read it Buck, and I don't even know 823 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: if you read this piece, but it goes through Roe v. Wade. 824 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: It argues about January sixth, and I read it, and 825 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Okay, it's July fourth. ESPN is 826 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: promoting this. This is on their main website. Do I 827 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: want to respond or not? Because to the point we 828 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: were just talking about, it's the middle of the July 829 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: fourth weekend. And I decided I'd take a couple of 830 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: hours and dash off a response to this column. And 831 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: it now some of you out there, I hope you've 832 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: read it. If you check it out, you can go 833 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: to OutKick dot com. It's also up on Foxnews dot com. 834 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: I think it's up now on Sean Hannity dot com. 835 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: Bucket's gonna end up being maybe one of the most 836 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: read columns that I have ever written before. And the 837 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,240 Speaker 1: reason why I think it's resonating to such a large 838 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: extent is people are sick of our cultural institutions being 839 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: torn down, and that they're being torn down from places 840 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: that they shouldn't be right. If you go to ESPN 841 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: dot com on July fourth, you're probably wanting to see 842 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: when your favorite baseball team is going to be playing. 843 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:46,919 Speaker 1: Maybe you're following Wimbledon instead. You were forced with America 844 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: is Awful, a four thousand, five thousand word piece about 845 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,240 Speaker 1: why January sixth was the worst thing that's ever happened 846 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: to America and why Roe v. Wade being overturned by 847 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: the Supreme Corps is an existential threat to all that 848 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: exists in America today. And I just think there's so 849 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: many people who want to fight back, and the response 850 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 1: to this piece has further encouraged me. About four months 851 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: from now and the coming red Way. There's a lot 852 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: of people willing to throw punches. And I think that's 853 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 1: the legacy of Trump. Even if Trump doesn't become the nominee, 854 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: even if he's not president again, he's changed the Republican 855 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: Party forever in that, Hey, I'm not gonna meekly kind 856 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,280 Speaker 1: of cower and try to be met Romney and worry 857 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: about what the New York Times is gonna say. I'm 858 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: gonna throw back at them harder. And I think that's 859 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: important to know. We're in a fight now. One of 860 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 1: the primary differences between the mentality of people I find 861 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: on the right and those on the left in America 862 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: today is people on the right take pride in being American. 863 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: People on the left take pride in the belief that 864 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: they are better than America. Yeah, you see this playing 865 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: out well, so the Independence Day weekend, the way that 866 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: they will put these articles out there America's not so great, 867 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: you know, And eventually, look, this country means that they're 868 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: allowed to say they're stupid stuff. But as is the 869 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: case also with people wearing masks, we are allowed to 870 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: say they are wrong and it is dumb, and that 871 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: is our role and punching back. Actually, when you'd find 872 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: out that you're in a fight. One of the great 873 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: quotes of all time. Everybody's got a plan until they 874 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: get punched in the mouth. As Mike Tyson, who came 875 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 1: up with that quote. You know what we're finding out 876 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,240 Speaker 1: when liberals get punches thrown back at them. They ain't 877 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: that prepared to be in a real fight. They're good 878 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: at mobs, they're not good at fighting, and they're losing 879 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: a lot about sleet.

The iHeart app the best place 889 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,959 Speaker 1: to start for all of that. Um, you know, Clay, 890 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: I went ver you ever see something like you see 891 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: photos of it and you actually experience it, and it's 892 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: a little bit different when you experience it than what 893 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,240 Speaker 1: you expected. That this has become a thing on social media. 894 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: People will show you, know, the Greek isles for a 895 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: Greek islands, for example, some of the most beautiful places 896 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,359 Speaker 1: in the world. I spent a little time many many 897 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: years ago studying at one of them. Not a lot 898 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: of studying, a lot of uzo drinking for those who 899 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: are familiar with Greece and uh, but they'll show what 900 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: the what the Instagram gram photo or the Facebook photo 901 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: version of the sunset in Santorini is and then they 902 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 1: show you that it's actually you know, they're like, they're 903 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,959 Speaker 1: like they're cropping out the hundred tourists who just got 904 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: off they got off the you know, the cruise ship, 905 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 1: and you're just bustling through all the Fannie packs and 906 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: it's a mess. Right. I went to it was very beautiful. 907 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: I went to a place called the Looking Glass Falls 908 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: and it's really fun. I jumped in, you know, went 909 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: into the waterfall, the whole thing. It's in a state 910 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,320 Speaker 1: park outside outside of Asheville, North Carolina. My favorite new place. 911 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: How cold was the water freezing? Yeah? And It's funny though, 912 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: because it's like I'd always seen these photos of it. 913 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful waterfall. It is a very cool place. 914 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,879 Speaker 1: I'm glad i went. But it was packed. I mean, 915 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 1: they were like one hundred people in line to get 916 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: down the staircase to get down to the river, to 917 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,280 Speaker 1: get down to the pack of people who are jockeying 918 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: for position. But the funny part is everyone's trying to 919 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: take a photo without anybody else in it. That's right, 920 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: only we're all looking at this beautiful waterfall, three hundred 921 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 1: of us trying to get the photo of the waterfall 922 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: with no human beings in it. It's that's the selfie universe. Yeah, 923 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,479 Speaker 1: of course there were selfie sticks of plenty, by the way. Yeah, 924 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: that everybody is creating this sort of artificially curated version 925 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 1: of whatever they do. And supposedly this is turned into 926 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,880 Speaker 1: a monster issue with Instagram influencers all over the world 927 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: finding cool places that weren't very crowded taking photos of 928 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 1: themselves there sometimes to your point, when they're already crowded. 929 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: But then those places get overloaded and so there's just 930 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:42,359 Speaker 1: a mass number of people that get seduced by this 931 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: imagery and decide I have to be there to see 932 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: it myself. I'm also a big believer. This is another 933 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 1: one of my ideas that some people will agree passionately, 934 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: passionately with me on and others will very much disagree 935 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: in concerts in particular. But you know some cases when 936 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: it comes to natural Look, we all want our photo 937 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: when we're at the mountain top or doing something cool. 938 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: I get it. But everyone needs to take in the 939 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: situation a little more and worry a little less about 940 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: like live streaming it or something. You know. You see 941 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,240 Speaker 1: the guy who went viral, I think it was Tiger 942 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: Woods in front of him at a golf event. He 943 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 1: was just holding a mic Ultra in his hand. Every 944 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: butta you know, Miller light I don't remember. I think 945 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: it was a Mick Ultra, but everybody else around him 946 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: had their phones up taking pictures of the golfer that 947 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: was right in front of him, and he was. He 948 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: became iconic among sports fans because he was just the 949 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: guy taking in the experience as opposed to the one 950 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: trying to tape it. We need more people drinking their 951 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 1: low calorie beer and enjoying the surrounding enjoying the experience 952 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: and less thick. I mean, the one that drives me 953 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: nuts is a concerts look because I'll do this too. 954 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: Ten or fifteen second video, Fine, right, you want a 955 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 1: little memento. Some people think that they're they should be 956 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: locked and I don't mean a few. They should live 957 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,240 Speaker 1: stream the whole thing, which means everyone else is staring 958 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,359 Speaker 1: at their little screen from ten feet away as they're 959 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: trying to actually see the stage. Is very annoying behavior. 960 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 1: We need, we need to be civilized, We need to 961 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 1: be a society of rules. The only time I'm not 962 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 1: a big picture taker in general, but kids, because you 963 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 1: want to memorialize when you're a parent. There's a big 964 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: difference between somebody when they were ten and somebody when 965 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,359 Speaker 1: they were fourteen, or somebody when they're five and they're eight. 966 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,919 Speaker 1: For most adults, I would like to think that I'm 967 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: not going to look that much different today than I 968 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,760 Speaker 1: did five years ago or five years into the future. 969 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: Right now. Some people may say, Clay, you're looking way 970 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: worse for wear on a daily basis, and certainly I 971 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,879 Speaker 1: can respect that, but in general, once you reach adulthood, 972 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: you shouldn't really change that much physically on a year 973 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: to year basis. So one other thing I wanted to 974 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: whatever possible. I feel like we should tell everybody positive, uplifting, happy, 975 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: happy stories whenever we can. And I really like this one. 976 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:07,239 Speaker 1: This is from Las Vegas, Nevada. Excuse me. Uh, And 977 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 1: there was a burger king worker who after twenty seven 978 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:15,840 Speaker 1: years of service without ever thirty years. His name was 979 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Ford. What I thought it was thirty years of service? 980 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: Twenty seven years of service almost thirty so he finished up, 981 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,719 Speaker 1: and I mean this is rough burger King as is 982 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 1: going away present after twenty seven years of service or 983 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: maybe this individual burger King franchise whatever gave him a 984 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,360 Speaker 1: single movie ticket, a bag of Reese's pieces, and a 985 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 1: Starbucks cup in a bag, and people felt like this 986 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: this guy showed up, provided for people. Uh, did his 987 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 1: job twenty seven years. So they started a gofund me. 988 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: I think they were trying to raise like a couple 989 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to get him a nice gift. As of 990 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: this morning, it is still going. The go fund me 991 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 1: campaign for this this now retired burger King worker, Kevin 992 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: Ford over three hundred and twenty thousand dollars that is 993 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: one of the examples.
