1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show on this Thursday. Appreciate you being here 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: with us eight hundred two two eight eight two on 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: the phone lines. We're still waiting for a written house 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: jury verdict, so we do not know, but we will 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: bring you the moment we do. It could happen today, 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: could happen tomorrow. We'll also do a little bit of 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: let's be honest analysis bordering on speculation about what this 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: jury's actually thinking. Latest is with that, plus, we've got 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: some numbers when it comes to COVID out of Vermont, 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: out of Michigan, troubling stuff. We look like we're heading into, 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: at least in some states, quite a Thanksgiving period surge here. 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: And then the way the media covers Joe Biden, that'll 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: be discussion we get to as well. He likes cars 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: and ice cream and walks on the beach. This is 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: from the Washington Post, by the way, supposed to be 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: a serious newspaper, but one thing that's been fastening to 19 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: watch it play out as we've seen the facts in 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: this trial shatter the initial media narrative about Kyle Rittenhouse 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: as a white supremacist, Kyle Rittenhouse as a active shooter, 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: as an evildoer, is that somehow the narrative of racism continues. 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: He shot three white guys. He's a white guy. They 24 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: all attacked him, they all have extensive criminal records, and 25 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: yet it's a story about racism. Here is Joy Reid 26 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: who does manage it is actually something of a skill. 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: She does manage to take anything and somehow make it 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: about white supremacy, white racism. Here she is taking the 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Rittenhouse trial, which anyone who's been watching understands is in 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: no way, shape or form about Kyle Rittenhouse being a racist, 31 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: but she still thinks it's Oh no, by the way, 32 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: for good measure brings in none other than the Supreme 33 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh into the discussion since kyr Rittenhouse trial. 34 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: It reminded a lot of people of something something I 35 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: can't remember what it was. Oh, the Brett Kavanaugh hearings 36 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: in which Brett Kavanaugh, who had been accused by a 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: high school friend of committing sexual abuse of her, cried 38 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: his way through the hearings. In America, there's a thing 39 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: about both white vigilantism and white tears, particularly male white tears, 40 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: really white tears in general. They carry out and then 41 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: as soon as they get caused green waterworks. White men 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: can get away with that too, and it has the 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: same effect. Even as the right tries to politicize the 44 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: idea that masculinity is being robbed from American men by 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: multi call ltualism and wokeism, they still want to be 46 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: able to have their tears. Clay, can I just ask you, 47 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: do you think there is an extent of anti white 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: rhetoric that MSNBC would not would would not be okay 49 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: with at this point? I just wonder is there an 50 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: outer limit to viciousness and sadism from the anchors over there. 51 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious, buck, pretend that Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: or Laura Ingram did the exact same bit Joy Reid 53 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: just did, but they said instead of white men, black men, 54 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Hispanic men, Asian men. Is there any doubt that all 55 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: of the woke vigilantes out there would immediately demand that 56 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: they be fired for racism. This is the thing that 57 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: I think is significant here. We have created a world 58 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: where white people can be at act based on their race. 59 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: That is not allowed in any way anywhere else. These 60 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: are the peculiar rules of identity politics and Buck. What 61 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: it does is corrode everything because if you're not applying 62 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: consistent standards, first of all, if you're basing anything, let 63 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: me just be clear on this, if you are basing 64 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: anything success, failure, significance, insignificance on someone's race, you are 65 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: an imbecile. Because that is the definition of racism to 66 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: say somebody did this because of the color of their skin, 67 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: or someone can or cannot do this because of the 68 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: color of their skin. And this is the sort of 69 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: convoluted circular logic that we have arrived at where now 70 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: modern day left wing wocists are the most racist people 71 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: in America and there's not even a close second to 72 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: the Buck. And so Joy Reid is not intelligent. She 73 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: doesn't make ever strong arguments. All she does is embrace 74 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: identity politics and cancel culture, which are the twin pillars 75 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: of Democratic Party association now which are going to destroy 76 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, and she is going to be leading 77 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: them right off the cliff into oblivion. You see this 78 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: with even the left approach to CRT and the parents 79 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: who are upset about CRT being taught to their kids. 80 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: You're supposed to submit to a leftist Democrat narrative of 81 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: anti whiteness, of whiteness, white supremacy as bad things, inherently oppressive. 82 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: You're supposed to say you're right, and if you don't, 83 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: the game is that in and of itself is evidence 84 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: of your racism as a white person. If you won't 85 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: sit there and say white fragilities are great, book, it's 86 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: not idiotic, it's amazing. If you won't sit there and say, 87 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: you know what, I should teach my kids that somehow 88 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the sins of their ancestors fall upon their heads today 89 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: in America and they are guilty just because of their 90 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: white skin color. This is the kind of rhetoric that 91 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: is all over the place among Democrats. They put these 92 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: people on TV who will speak about this as though 93 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: there's some kind of PhD and anti whiteness. That is, 94 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: they create these pseudo academic frameworks for the discussion and clay. 95 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: Some people on the left are finally realizing, you know, 96 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: even irrespective of whether there's any truth, veracity, any reality 97 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: behind some of these different frameworks for an analyzing race 98 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: in America, If they stay with this CRT is either 99 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: a fiction or parents who don't like it are bad. 100 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: They're going to get annihilated in the midterm election. And 101 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: I think Bill Maher, we brought him up several times 102 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: again definitely a liberal, but does have You can have 103 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: a rational discussion with him. I've done it before on 104 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: certain topics, and he even admits that on this issue 105 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: of essentially anti white racism, yes, which the left says 106 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: does not exist. By the way, it's impossible to be 107 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: racist against white people, They're wrong. Bill Marclay says, this 108 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: is a big problem. We learned about the Civil War. 109 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean they mentioned racism, We understood slavery and Lincoln 110 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, but they didn't really go into 111 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: it any more than gone with the wind goes into it. 112 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: It was there, but you didn't feel it viscerally. Now 113 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: we're doing that, and I think that's a good thing. 114 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: People should understand that that's different than teaching that racism 115 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: is the essence of America. That's what people get upset 116 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: about it, or involving children who are probably not old 117 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: enough or sophisticated enough to understand this very complicated issue. 118 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: Kids are taught and some time separated into groups oppressor 119 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: and oppressed. Again, does a kid even know what those 120 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: words mean? I think this is so well said by 121 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Bill Maher and what we should say. Also, while we 122 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: played the clip of Joy Reid, some of the foremost 123 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: proponents of anti white racism are white. There is a 124 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: in fact, that's the primary cadre of woke liberals. It's 125 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: typically not black, Hispanic, or Asian people that are embracing 126 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: anti white tropes as much as it is the woke 127 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: your Brooklyn brethren in New York City. You can kind 128 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: of look at them and feel like, Okay, this is 129 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: the kind of person who is going to come out 130 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: and say white people are awful. The number of white 131 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: people that run around on social media talking about how 132 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: awful white people are and propagating modern day racism, that's 133 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: the legion that I see Buck. I mean, those are 134 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: the people that are desperate sort of advance this woke ideology. 135 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: Is people who are driving the Democratic Party. Like I 136 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: said right off the cliff, most of them are not 137 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: black women like Joy read. Most of them are white 138 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: men and women of extremely liberal bent who have convinced 139 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: themselves that America is a fundamentally awful place. And they 140 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: define America entirely based on slavery. And this is important 141 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: too in a larger context book, slavery existed everywhere. We 142 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: have this idea in America that uniquely America was a 143 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: proponent of slavery and almost nowhere else in the world 144 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: had slavery. It's a flagrant misunderstanding of world history. Look, 145 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: slavery is a stain and a sin on American history, 146 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: but in America that I think this is significant. Slavery 147 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: was only legal for eighty years, from seventeen eighty three 148 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: when we gained our independence to eighteen sixty when Lincoln 149 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This country had legal slavery for 150 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: eighty years pre that you should be angry at England, 151 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: which allowed slavery in the colonies when we had no 152 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: actual independence. And you can argue, well, we didn't have 153 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: the full fruition of equality in eighteen sixty three when 154 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: the Emancipation Proclamation happened. But for the vast majority of 155 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: kids that are in school today, the idea that they're 156 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: responsible for something that happened one hundred and fifty years 157 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: ago is fundamentally to me barbaric and insane? Yeah, what 158 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: are we actually supposed to do based upon this framework 159 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: of whether it's critical race theory or the essentially the 160 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: rhetoric coming out of the left today, which is that 161 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: white supremacy is infused in everything about America. It's infused 162 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: in capitalism and free markets, in the constitution, our government. 163 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: If everything around us is racist, well, then what exactly 164 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: are we supposed to do? The only answer to that, 165 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: the only real answer to that, is to submit to 166 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: and obey and give power to whomever is making that argument. 167 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: The whole purpose of this is essentially to deconstruct. It's 168 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: about power. It's about to deconstruct America as we know, 169 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: the society all around us, and allow the people that 170 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: are pushing this movement to reconstruct it in whatever way 171 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: they see fit. It's essentially and this is why I 172 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: do think the term racial Marxism is very apt here, 173 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: because they do view this as a beachhead of sorts 174 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: into creating an internal revolution, certainly a cultural and political 175 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: revolution from within America to undo so much of what 176 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: has been built and kept this country together for a 177 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: very long time and create a new image of America 178 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: that is rooted in intersectionality and essentially oppression studies. And 179 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: as you point out, lay if you actually know the history, 180 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: if one knows the history, they would know that there 181 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: was a massive slave trade in the Mediterranean of white 182 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: Christians by the Muslim slave traders. There were African tribes 183 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: enslaving other African tribes, the Aztecs enslaving all the tribes 184 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: around them. Here in the Americas, we can go on 185 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: for all thousands of years, the Jews in Egypt, I mean, 186 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: you know the Bible, we go back all over the place. 187 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: What does that have to do with how he can 188 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: make schools better today for everyone's kids by adopting school choice, right, 189 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: what does that have to do with the principle that 190 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: we're all equal in the eyes of God and in 191 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: the eyes of a law in this country as individuals, 192 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: as human beings, irrespective of skin color. They are pushing 193 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: constantly the critical race theorists a different approach. And by 194 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: the way they keep doing this, it's not CRT whatever. 195 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: This version of America as a white supremacist state, which 196 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: is the narrative from the left now, is so destructive 197 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: and it's also going counter to the best things about 198 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: this country, which are rooted in individual equality, in the 199 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: law and in the eyes of God, meritocracy. See the 200 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: best man or woman wins. They're creating the Supreme Court 201 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: has referred to, at least I believe it was in 202 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: a descent by Alito, the racial entitlement state. And who 203 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: gets to make the determinations. This is where the Marxist 204 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: revolutionary comes into play. Who makes the determinations about what's fair, 205 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: what's right? Who gets what? Where do Asians fit into 206 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: the hierarchy? The lgbt too successful? Yeah, does the LGBTQ community. 207 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Are they to be put in a place of greater 208 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 1: hierarchy in the oppression studies than the black community? Or 209 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: how do we how do we figure that out? If 210 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: your trans if it's dizzy ing and it's incoherent, it's 211 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: just meant to frighten people. It's moral blackmail against America 212 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: by people who are either ruthless in their pursuit of 213 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: power or idiots or both actually a lot of both. 214 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: And I also think a lot of it's coming from China. 215 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: You know, they're taking advantage of our social media openness 216 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: and our enemies in the world recognize that the way 217 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: to destroy America is not to attack externally. It's to 218 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: get us so riled up divided based on our diversity 219 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: in this country that we're throwing punches at each other 220 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: in the country instead of recognizing that we're getting punched 221 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: in the back of the head every damn day by China. 222 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: KGB was doing this in this country with direct operations 223 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: against us, trying to pull out our seams. And you know, 224 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: they don't teach that in the schools though. They don't 225 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: teach about the communist penetrations of this country either. Well, 226 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: we'll do some of that on this show. We love 227 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: our pets on this program. They're a part of our families. 228 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: It's why we want to make sure they're healthy and 229 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: live a long time. You gotta add some stuff into 230 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: their dog food, though, because dry kibble sits on shipping 231 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: crates or warehouses for years sometimes and so the manufacturers 232 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: have to use a sterilization process. Well that's not good 233 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: because in that food you would normally have things like enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, 234 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: omega oils. Rough Greens adds that back into your dogs kibble. 235 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: It's a healthy supplement you put into your dog's food 236 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: with all the live nutrients necessary for superior your dog health. 237 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Roughgreens is a one hundred percent vegan additive with no GMOs, antibiotics, hormones, 238 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: or filler.

We'll welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton 247 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: show Buck. I am fighting it. We had a great 248 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: Patriot Awards last night. But people may be able to 249 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: hear in my voice. Got a little bit of a cold, 250 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: and I'm in the coldest studio in the history of 251 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: the world here in Miami. But we had an incredible 252 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: crowd last night. And Ron De Santis came out at 253 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: the Patriot Awards that Fox Nation and did I think 254 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: it's going to air on Fox News soon? And did 255 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: you see this while we're in While I'm in Florida. 256 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: I wake up this morning and I see the headline 257 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Buck DeSantis is signing anti COVID vaccine mandate laws and 258 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: Brandon Florida today. Ronnie is a melievable as that. Ronnie 259 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: d is the man. It's fantastic. They there were a 260 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: lot of Trump de Santis. Chance, if you right now, Buck, 261 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: if you presume that Trump is going to run, is 262 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: there a better running mate for Trump? Because you know, 263 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: if he wins, which I think he would, he only 264 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: gets four years, so the VP selection is going to 265 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: be massively important. We know he's not gonna go with 266 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: Pence again. Would you go Trump to Santis? Beyond a shadow? 267 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Would you sign up for that ticket right now? In 268 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: twenty four Oh? Absolutely? And I think that question do 269 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: best one? Yeah, that's that's based on what I see 270 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, do you do you have an 271 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: an alternative that you think is even in the same 272 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: category of excitement right now for the base, for the 273 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: folks across the country listening. I don't think so. I 274 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: think that would be I think that's like a super team. 275 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: I think it is. And look, that's assuming Trump decides 276 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: to run. Because Obviously there will be a wide open 277 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: primary if Trump doesn't decide to run, and DeSantis would 278 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: probably be one of the people running for president. But 279 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: down here in Florida, seeing the reaction that he got 280 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: in person at this event, and also thinking about the 281 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: fact that Trump would only have four years, his VP 282 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: selection would be so important. I think that DeSantis would 283 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: be an incredible choice for him. It takes Florida off 284 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: the map to the extent that it's on the map 285 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: at all. And I think everybody listening to us right 286 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: now would be ecstatic to run to their polling place 287 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: and vote for that ticket. I really do. I think 288 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: it's the best possible ticket that's out there. When we 289 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: come back, we'll break down a little bit more on 290 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: the written house case.

Welcome back to the Clay 310 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: and Bucks Show. I'm an NYC. Claydown in sunny Miami, Florida. Hello, 311 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: and we are going to be diving into this because 312 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: the Biden Administration's got problems. We know that, and they 313 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: don't have a way of turning it around very easily. 314 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: Now that's in part because Biden is, as we all 315 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: thought he would, be, a facade at trojan horse for 316 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: a far more left wing Democrat party than what he 317 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: pretended to be representing. As a candidate in twenty twenty, 318 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: and we see whether it's the failure at the border, 319 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: the rise of inflation, any number of areas of incompetence, 320 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: that withdrawal from Afghanistan, all these different things that have 321 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: shown that the Biden team can't get it done. They 322 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: have to come up with the media who are in 323 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Biden's pocket. Just imagine for a second that Biden had 324 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: to deal with what Trump did. A corporate journal establishment 325 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: that is ninety five percent devoted to nothing but the eradication, 326 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: the destruction of a presidency willing to lie ruthlessly and 327 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: relentlessly about Russia collusion to try to undermine them. Imagine 328 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: what befuddled Joe Biden would sound like with that going on, 329 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: More fires in the West burned to the ground, homes, businesses, 330 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: and forests than the entire state in New Jersey from 331 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: Cape May to New York City. This is the United 332 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: States of America, for God's sake, And why is it happening? Well, 333 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: the severe storms that are knocking down all the wires. Anyways, 334 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: a lot going on. We have to dislaw builds, back 335 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: our bridges, our water systems, our power lines, our grids, 336 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: and for better and stronger resilience, you know, Clay in 337 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Just to give a sense of what 338 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: I said, it's acting about the corporate media. Here is 339 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: a piece in the Washington Post about the current president. 340 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: Given all the problems that are going on, Joe Biden's 341 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: entire life has been crafted in many ways around cars, 342 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the affection for automobiles as much a part of him 343 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: as his irishness and his love of ice cream. As 344 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: Biden again gets behind the wheel, re upping quote I'm 345 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: a car guy, a take on Biden that was in 346 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: the Washington Post today. Do you do you remember anything 347 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: like that when Donald Trump was president about his Irish 348 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: mission is charm? We talked about this buck. If the 349 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: media weren't biased, this is just fun for everybody out 350 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: there to think about. There would have been inaccurate stories 351 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump that were beneficial for him. Right. We 352 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: know all of the lies that were spread about Donald Trump. 353 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: But if it were just media incompetence and not agenda 354 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: driven anti Trump narratives, then there would be some great 355 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: stories out there that might not be true. And I'll 356 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: just make one up. Donald Trump gave twenty million dollars 357 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: to to the Kids Make a Wish Foundation, Right, I'm 358 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: just making that up. That story could be out there 359 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: and you'd be like, oh, that was really nice of 360 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to give twenty million dollars to make a wish, 361 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: and then it comes out that he didn't actually give 362 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to make a wish. But it's a 363 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: story that was wrong, right, that would have been very 364 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: beneficial to Trump. Every single person listening to us right now, 365 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: all across the country, all the podcast, none of them 366 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: think about how crazy this is. Buck. There is no 367 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: positive story about Donald Trump that spread widely, that went 368 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: viral and was later determined to be untrue. Now compare 369 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: that with all the awful stories about Trump that spread 370 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: virally that later was proven to be untrue. That's what 371 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: agenda journalism is. If it was just incompetence, sometimes it 372 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: would be incompetence in his favor. Never happened. We also 373 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: know that they're trying to explain to the American people 374 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: this administration in the most favorable way they can, and 375 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: they're struggling in part because how do you explain this 376 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: Conversations around those kitchen tables that are both profound as 377 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: they are ordinary how do I cross some bridge in 378 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: the snowstorm? What happened? No, I think about it. You know, 379 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: you're in a situation. What happens in the bridge collapses 380 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: and there's a fire on the other side. It's going 381 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: to take ten miles longer to get to the fire. 382 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: People can die. I mean, this is real. This is 383 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: a real stuff. All random sentences that are just mixed together, 384 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: that have no connection whatsoever. This is what sadly, a 385 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: mind that is grappling with dementia sounds like buck. Every 386 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: time I've listened to that, I just think, my god, 387 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: this is so uncomfortable and our country is in such 388 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: an unfortunate position that this is the guy. They've also 389 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: created for a long time now, this notion of good 390 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: old you know uncle or now Grandpa Joe that everybody 391 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: can count on. He's such a good guy. Sure he 392 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: says things a little off the cuffs sometimes, but you know, 393 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: he's a charming irishman with a big grin who likes 394 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: cars and ice cream. They've created this whole story around 395 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: the guy Joe Biden's actually a jerk, folks that what 396 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: people don't realize is he's actually not a super nice guy. 397 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: At all. And if you want to exhibit a on 398 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: this one, Joe Biden used for a long time, he 399 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: used to tell a story, and the story was about 400 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: the very tragic death of his wife and his young 401 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: daughter in a car accident. Now that's horrible. Joe would 402 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: tell the story. Obviously a tragic event. A lot of 403 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: political sympathy came to him as well. He told the 404 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: story for many, many years, which fine, right, this is 405 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: a real life event. And obviously bow and Hunter Biden 406 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: were in the car too, they survived. The issue is that, 407 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: multiple times in public giving speeches, Joe Biden claimed, because 408 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: it was an even more tragic story that the driver 409 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: of the truck that hit his wife's car was drunk. 410 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: That is a lie. That is a lie, that is 411 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: not true. That actually affected the life of that truck 412 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: driver because he then became known as the guy who 413 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: killed Joe Biden's wife because he was driving drunk. Even 414 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: though that is a lie. Joe Biden said this numerous times. 415 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: They've actually had to do fact checks on this. He 416 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: didn't care Clay because it was too valuable a story 417 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: to tell in that way. I mean, who does that 418 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: by what happened was his wife tragically blew through a 419 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: stop sign and was hit by a semi It was 420 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: a car accident, It was not the truck driver's fault. 421 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: But he said multiple times in public the driver was drunk. 422 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: That's a reckless thing to say. It's a wrong thing 423 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: to do. Joe Biden's not some cuddly grandfather, folks, that's 424 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: just the act. And unfortunately he's not even a good 425 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: actor anymore, Buck, because acting requires cognitive ability that he 426 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have. And again going back to the larger bias 427 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: at play here, and I think we need to keep 428 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 1: hammering it on this show because I don't hear very 429 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: many people talking about it. We spent years talking about 430 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment in Donald Trump. Have you heard 431 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: a single legitimate debate on CNN or MSNBC. Every time 432 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump misspoke, it was evidence that his brain had deteriorated. 433 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: He had to take a cognitive test. He cheated on 434 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: the cognitive test. There's no way he could pass it. 435 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: They had doctors on to analyze his mental capacity. Buck. 436 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: Over half of people in a recent poll, over half, 437 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: and this is a very divided country, but over half 438 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: said Joe Biden has dementia, that his brain is not 439 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: working well. And the problem, Clay, is that they used 440 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: identity politics as a primary decision making point on who 441 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: the vice president would be. And now we're seeing what 442 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: do the American people actually think of the vice president 443 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: and the role she's in. No one thinks she's particularly 444 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: adapt or capable or even likable, and so this is 445 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: how she pushes back on it, month after month after month. 446 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: I've traveled around the country, as has the President. We 447 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: have convened members of Congress, we have convened people around 448 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: our nation, asking what do you want? And this is 449 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: a response to what they want, and it's actually going 450 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: to hit the ground in a way that is going 451 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: to have direct impact on the American people. We're getting 452 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: things done, and we're doing it together. So you don't 453 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: feel misused or underused. No, I don't. I am very 454 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: very excited about the work that we have accomplished. But 455 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: I am also absolutely, absolutely clear eyed that there is 456 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: a lot more to do and we're going to get 457 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: it done. Clay, every time I hear Kamala speak, it 458 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: really reminds me of being in a brutally useless HR meeting. 459 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: You know, one of those like one of those HR 460 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: trainings that you don't want to sit through, where they're 461 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: telling you things you already know that no one needs 462 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: to hear, but the person telling you knows you have 463 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: no choice. You have to listen. I think this is 464 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: also a function buck of what one party rule creates. 465 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: She came out of California, nobody was really a viable 466 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: opponent to her. The media was cheering for her, and 467 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: as a result, she didn't develop political skills that analyze 468 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: the best attributes of her side and the other side. 469 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: And she seems wildly uncomfortable in her own skin. Does 470 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: that make sense? Like everything she does feels like it's 471 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: an actress who isn't particularly talented at being an actress, 472 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: trying to pretend to be something. She doesn't ever seem 473 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: like a real person. Oh, she lacks authenticity when she 474 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: is speaking to the American, but she feels like she's 475 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: a bad actress.

I just wanted to cover 501 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: on and talk about Governor rond As Senses possibly being 502 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: a running made for President Trump. I have mixed fooms 503 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: about it. Most definitely, if President Trump was to run today, 504 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: I would vote for him. If he was to run 505 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four with rond As Senses as his VP, 506 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: I would definitely run, go for it. But I just 507 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 1: feel like, right now, we're all seeing how corrupt our 508 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: federal government is. We're all seeing how corrupt the establishment 509 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: the system is. So I feel like, why would we 510 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: throw our best governor to the wolves when we can 511 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: just stay in Florida for as long as he can 512 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: and protect those that are running there. Because at some point, sir, 513 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: we're telling everybody to move out these cities, moving book, 514 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: go where you're you know your value, You didn't where 515 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: your values are, So why would we take our best 516 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: governor and somewhere where it's good. It's a good question, 517 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: And Alexis, I appreciate how polite she is. You can 518 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: call me buck, Alexis. It's very nice. Thank you for 519 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: the call. I mean, I understand. I was talking to 520 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: a couple of my buddies who live in Florida now 521 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: and they made that same argument. They said, look, if 522 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: he's not going to be president, I would rather have 523 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: him in Florida from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty 524 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: six fighting all the battles that matter in the state 525 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: of Florida. And that's as high of an endorsement as 526 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: you can get for a governor to be that popular 527 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: that people who live in the state don't want to 528 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: lose him presidency. I think there's a lot to that, 529 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: because that's an excellent point from Alexis. And also you 530 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: see how California has really become the distillation of leftist 531 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: liberal Democratic Party rule in America. I mean, New York 532 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: is pretty bad too, but California more than any other places. 533 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: Of Course, it's funny because New York I do a show. 534 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sitting here, Clay, We're doing this show. 535 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm in New York City. There's over a million Republicans here, right, 536 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: so you've got a lot of Republicans around me, but 537 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: of course we're greatly outnumbered. Same thing, we've got big 538 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: audiences in places like Los Angeles and San Diego and 539 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: on the stations there, but they're surrounded by lips too. 540 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: But California has become the distillation I think that's a 541 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: good way of putting it, or the epitome, if you will, 542 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: of leftist rule Florida continuing to be a place of freedom, prosperity, 543 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: success and people voting with their feet to go there. 544 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: And it's not a super red state, you know. I 545 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: think that's it's not the Dakotas, it's not you know, Utah. 546 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: Florida showing that if you just leave the Republicans in charge, 547 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: great things can happen for your state is a very 548 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: powerful political message. Here's a good question for you, two buck. 549 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: Florida is, like you said, a very fifty fifty ish state, 550 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: although it seems to be moving. As Ron Deciantist told 551 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: us the last time he came on, they're now more 552 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Republicans registered in Florida. It's never happened before. There's always 553 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: been more Democrats. But if you look at California, the 554 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: full fruition of Democratic ideals leads to disaster. Has there 555 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: ever been a state that embodied full on Republican politics 556 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: that has ended in disaster. I mean, it's kind of 557 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: interesting to think about, right. It's an interesting test because, 558 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, there's the Utah's, there's the Dakotas you know, 559 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: states that you know are going to go red. There's 560 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: no equivalent of California where people can't even feel comfortable 561 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: like leaving their cars parked on the road because they're 562 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: going to get broken into, or where Walgreens is shutting 563 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: down because you can't even stay open. This has been 564 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: a really almost a parlor game or conversation for conservatives 565 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: for a long time now, where they'd say, can we 566 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: just I've spoken to many people that folks listening would know, 567 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: people in media, conservatives, people in politics on the on 568 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: the right, we say, can we just flip one city 569 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: and make it a test and make it to be conservatives? 570 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: You know, even for example, where you are in Tennessee, right, Yes, 571 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: Nashville is blue? Yes, you know you look at these cities. 572 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: Dallas is blue. Yeah. What's the reddest big city? I 573 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: think it's Fort Worth is basically fifty fifty. But what 574 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: about Salt Lake? I think for Worth is bigger than 575 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: salt I actually I shouldn't say that I made that up. 576 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: I made that up. Check me. Our St. Lake audience 577 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: is like, how dare you, sir? I'm thinking in the 578 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: context of you know, sports teams, right, because you have 579 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: to be a decent sized city by and large most 580 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I know that somebody can be like, well, 581 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 1: Green Bay's not very big. Yeah, okay, for the most part, 582 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: professional sports cities have to be pretty big. I'm trying 583 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: to think you can tweet us at Buck Sexton, at 584 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: Clay Travis. I know Fort Worth is much bigger. For 585 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: Worth is eight hundred thousand, and Salt Lake City is 586 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty thousand, so very very different. 587 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: For Worth is much much bigger. Two hundred thousand is 588 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: what I see here for salt Lake. For Worth is 589 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred and on. This is one of those things 590 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: where you get complicated, right, like, because some places define themselves, like, 591 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: for instance, Jacksonville. We have a lot of listeners in Jacksonville. 592 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: The city of Jacksonville never ends. Buck, you can drive 593 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: for like four hours and you're still in Jacksonville. Sub 594 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: cities are tiny, right, Like, I just check this out 595 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: too in fact checking. You're totally right by the way. 596 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: If you want to expand to the suburbs. Yes, you know, 597 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: in counties, people all a lot of the freedom lovers 598 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: in Houston, for example, live you know, thirty or forty 599 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: minutes from downtown Houston from what I understand, not that 600 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: there's really a downtown, but you know what I mean, 601 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: from the center. The center point Salt Lake City fifty 602 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: according to what I see here on the on the interwebs, 603 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: fifty three percent of Salt Lake City residents voted Democrat 604 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: in the last election. So rather one think about right an, 605 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: there's almost no red city. Yeah, I mean that's so 606 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: we could call it the Conservative City Project. It's a 607 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: dream we've had for a long time. You sort of 608 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: run one city where we have, you know, clean streets, 609 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 1: low taxes, back the blue like. I don't know, it'd 610 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: be fun. I'd love to know what the closest city 611 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: to that is. Clay. We won't tell us what's going 612 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: on in Vermont. By the way, we come back because 613 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: the numbers are concerning from a COVID perspective. We'll get 614 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: into that. Plus we're watching for the written house verdict. 615 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: We'll stay with it. Stay with us. You're listening to 616 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton fund the EIB network
