Marsha Blackburn is going to join us at 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: the bottom of this hour. Next hour, we'll be joined 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: by Republican presidential candidate candidate Vivic Ramaswami. Yesterday I tossed 18 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: out that I think there's a great deal of popularity 19 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: in this audience that Robert F. Kennedy Junior has unlocked, 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: and I didn't know what the numbers would reflect, but 21 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: I said, for instance, if you gave me a choice 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: of voting and again no third party, and you gave 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: me a choice only of these two. Death is not 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: an option. You can't pick anybody else. I said I 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: would vote for Robert F. Kennedy Junior over Mitt Romney. 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: And I said I would vote for Robert F. Kennedy 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: Junior over Paul Ryan, and a lot of reaction rolled in. 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: So I thought, you know what, I should put a 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: pole up. And this poll has now been retweeted by 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. At Clay and Buck on Twitter, you 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: can go vote in it there. We'll also maybe put 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: it up on the front page of the Clay and 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Buck website to allow people who are not active on 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: social media, don't have accounts, you can go vote there. 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: We'll see what the numbers look like. Buck, These stun me. 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: Right now. Over sixty thousand of you have voted in 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: this poll. 38 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: Again. 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: You can go see it right now at Clay and 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: Buck you can scroll down.

At Clay Travis you can also go 43 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: vote in it there. Over sixty one thousand of you 44 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: have voted. Seventy nine percent of people buck said they 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: would vote for Robert F. Kennedy Junior over Mitt Romney. 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: I know, I think that's pretty significant because I bet 47 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: a large percentage of people listening to us right now 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: actually voted for Mitt Romney for president in twenty and twelve. 49 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: Now granted Mitt Romney since then, has you're nodding. I mean, 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: I've been a huge percentage of people. 51 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: I mean, ever since people saw Mitt Romney with his 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: mask on marching and being like I'm here because I 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: want to march with Black Lives Matter, Everyone's like, oh, yes, 54 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: Mitt Romney, there's a man who understands the struggle. 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: Like, give me a break. 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: Mitt Romney has been a guy that people have had 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: to just we've had to try to forget the Republican 58 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: votes that were cast for him in twenty twelve. I mean, well, 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 3: I still think he was a better option than Obama. 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 3: But he's not running this time though, so I think 61 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: it'll be more interesting to see what about RFK Junior 62 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: versus a Republican who's not Trump or DeSantis. 63 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Well, I mean he would crush let's run through him. 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: I'll give you my guess. It would be so uh. 65 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: RFK Junior would crush Asa Hutchinson. I think he probably 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: would beat in this audience, Chris Christie. I think he 67 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: would beat Nicky Haley honestly. 68 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: Now see that that, to me is is a little 69 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: more interest because she's a mainline Republican. Right, Mitt mid 70 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: Romney has gone over basically to the other team. Mitt 71 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: Romney is effectively Liz Cheney with you know, shorter hair. 72 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: So which thanks to Utah, he hasn't announced Mitt Romney 73 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: whether he's gonna run for reelection. I believe I'm correcting this. 74 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: Utah people can correct me if I'm wrong. But remember 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: he refused to endorse Mitt Romney did Mike Lee, the 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: senator from UH from Utah, and he said he was 77 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: sitting out because he was friends with both the guy 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: who was the Democrat. 79 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: Romney's basically a Democrat. Now, so that's why the you know, 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: that's why when you look at a RFK Junior Romney 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: comparison like saying, it's like saying, you know, someone like 82 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: an Asa Hutchinson. I mean, there are republic it is 83 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: it is the case that there are Republicans who are 84 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 3: effectively Democrats, but they just like to pretend to be Republicans. 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: You never get Democrats who are actually right wing, though 86 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: that's not really a. 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: Thing that doesn't really exist, well unless you aldcount Joe 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Manchin or somebody like that. I think, I mean, he's 89 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: closer to the middle than than anything right. It used 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: to be the case that that you did have more 91 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: crossovers because they were legacy right. You'd have guys who 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: were members of parties that they didn't really fit because 93 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: the parties had changed a lot. 94 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: I also think that the more people on the right 95 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,119 Speaker 3: have to well find out about RFK Junior's policies on things. 96 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: My guess is he's probably I'm guessing here, I don't know, 97 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: and maybe he's addressing with this he's pro choice. My 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: guess is he's pretty into high taxes. You know, you 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: start to go down the list of things. I don't 100 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: know where he is on crime. I have no idea. 101 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone does, because that could go 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: either way. But on some of those issues, he would 103 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: lose republic He would lose Republican support if he came 104 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: out and and he has to repudiate he's he said 105 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: crazy stuff on climate change, which I believe he has said. 106 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 3: I don't like, but I don't like the way I 107 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: said that or something else. But the climate change thing 108 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: could be a problem. 109 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: Trump said a lot of crazy left wing things back 110 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: in the day. 111 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that it means that he can't get support. 112 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: I'm just saying he has to come out and clarify 113 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: on these things. What he where he would stand out, 114 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: which is why we want to have him back on 115 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: the show. I will not be at the Doctor, I 116 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: will be here. 117 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: So I think. 118 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: What it really represents is people are desperately craving authenticity. 119 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: And I think even if you or me or other 120 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: people out there, this is what I get my sense 121 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: of the national electorate as we move towards the primary 122 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: season is a lot of people feel and the reason 123 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: why I think met Romney and Paul Ryan are good 124 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: examples of this. This is a guy who in twenty 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: twelve was the presidential nominee, Paul Ryan was the Speaker 126 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: of the House for Republicans, I think, and vice presidential 127 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: candidate Ill Yeah. I think that RFK Junior would beat 128 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: both of those guys among Republican voters right now. And 129 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: here is why I think that would happen. Buck I 130 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: think there is one a desire among a huge percentage 131 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: of the population for there to be a reckoning over COVID, 132 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: and I think there is a deep well of distrust 133 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: that is similar. I would imagine I wasn't alive to 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: what happened coming out of Vietnam over the fact that 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: you know that your government lied to you. And I 136 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: think people are willing again, this is my read of 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: the national electorate. I think people are willing to say, Okay, 138 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: I disagree with you on that, if you just honestly 139 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: tell me what you think, at least I know what 140 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: you mean. And I think Trump hit on a lot 141 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: of this in sixteen buck and I think his presidency. Honestly, 142 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: what did Trump do in office? Not a lot that 143 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: he said he would not do. Now, he wasn't able 144 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: to accomplish everything. Yeah, he said things that he believed 145 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: to be true. That are things that a lot of 146 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: people believe to be true, but they felt they weren't 147 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: allowed to say, including among other Republicans. Yes, and that 148 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: was the breakthrough. I think that right now a lot 149 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: of people the craving of authenticity. I do think that's 150 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: reading the feelings that people have right now. I think 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: that as things get closer, you get into the fear 152 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 1: of losing and the desire of winning, and that starts 153 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: to cut meaning, well, i'm gonna vote for whether you're 154 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 1: a Democrat republic I'm gonna vote for Joe Biden because 155 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want the Republicans to win. And 156 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: so that that's where I think things narrow pretty quickly 157 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: from everyone saying, well, I want the most authentic candidate 158 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden electability, which is a very amorphous thing, right, 159 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: You're you're not electable until you're elected. 160 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: You know that we're going to argue a lot about this. 161 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: Everyone's going to be arguing about who's electable. And people 162 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: will point out that that we've seen plenty of times 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: in recent political history in this country, Trump being probably 164 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: the best example of it in twenty sixteen, where oh, 165 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: that person can't win until they do, until they do, 166 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, everything the conventional wisdom changes. 167 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: And remember one of the most do you remember one 168 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: of the most controversial things that Trump was willing to 169 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: say to me? 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: This was when I started really taking note. 171 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: I mean, there were a lot clay, So there's a 172 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: remember the controversial thing. 173 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: The Trump well, I mean in terms of directly attacking 174 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: Republican orthodoxy. 175 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: Oh, I rock war thing. 176 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: Yes, that was where I will up and I said, 177 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: oh like that to me is evidence of being willing 178 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: to challenge the existing party. That to me is the 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: direct attack. Right was when he said the Iraq War 180 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: was a disaster and George W. 181 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: Bush blew it. 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: So I will say though he read something very important 183 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: in the shift in politics that had oc could remember. 184 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: That was also something that Barack Obama in the Democrat primary, 185 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: was able in two thousand and eight to outmoeuver Hillary 186 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: on which was her previous support of the Iraq War. 187 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: The Iraq War was as much as Democrats tried to 188 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 3: rewrite history, John Kerry tried to rewrite the history. He failed. 189 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: The Iraq War was a bi partisan, a bipartisan push 190 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: at the time. Both parties had their hands all over that, 191 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: and Trump came along. I think he saw I'm not 192 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: saying he didn't feel this way because he saw what 193 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: happened in Iraq and just came to this assessment. But 194 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 3: also politically, it was clear that on the Democrat side, 195 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: Barack had an advantage over Hillary because of her support 196 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: for Iraq, and on the Republican side, everybody who was 197 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: prominent in Republican politics had effectively been tied to the 198 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: Iraq War in some capacity. So Trump comes along and 199 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: he's like, that was terrible? What was that all about? 200 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: And people were saying, wow, finally, because it's a little 201 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: bit harder if you, you know, voted for Iraq and 202 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: you gave fifteen speeches about how great the Iraq War 203 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 3: was going or whatever, which was true of a lot 204 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: of Republican members of Congress, et cetera. 205 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: So that was a big change, a big change for him. 206 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: I also would say, that's why I think, and I 207 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: know people out there, I think it's crazy. I think 208 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: Trump is seriously considering putting RFK Junior on the ticket. 209 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: I really do. 210 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: And I know people out there you may say, you know, 211 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: you're you're crazy for even suggesting it. That is the single, 212 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: the single most disruptive thing that Trump could do in 213 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: selecting a vice presidential candidate would be RFK Junior. 214 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: You see, the DeSantis has said he will not be 215 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: a vice president, so. 216 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 3: He's which we've to be fair and to be clear, 217 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: we I've told you, I've said this on the show 218 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: when people called in and they said, what about a 219 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: Trump DeSantis ticket, I've said, I think that would be 220 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 3: very powerful. Ron won't do it. Now Ron has said 221 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: he won't do it. So sometimes we say things go 222 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: to be fair. 223 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: Every single Republican or Democrat presidential candidate of the last 224 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: fifty years, when they're running for president, has said at 225 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: some point I won't be the VP, right, and a 226 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: lot of those people end up being the VP. 227 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 3: I don't think we talk to some Republicans right now 228 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: and say would you be Trump's VP, and they would say, well, 229 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: I think I should be the first choice, but I'd 230 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 3: be happy. Ron Is has completely ruled out VP under Trump. 231 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: I get it. 232 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: But if Trump wins, and it's over right. If Trump wins, 233 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the issue with DeSantis's VP, as we have talked, I'm 234 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: going to get a competing I. 235 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 3: Would give crazy odds to anybody wanted. There's no chance 236 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: that Rondes Santel okay take it. 237 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: I think the legality of it is actually the reason 238 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: why he wouldn't be the nominee. 239 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: Right, you can't. 240 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: Really have two from the same state because there's constitutional issues. 241 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: Sometimes houses in New Jersey and New York. 242 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think New Jersey would allow Trump 243 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: to easily switch his residency to New Jersey. They would 244 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: go to court to try to say that they have 245 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: to give up Florida's electoral votes. 246 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: I don't want that legal issue. 247 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: If DeSantis were the governor of any other state than Florida, 248 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: where Trump lives, I think DeSantis in March, if Trump 249 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: had swept to the nomination and he came to him 250 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: and he said, I want you to be my VP, 251 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: I think he would take it because you're the nominee 252 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: one hundred percent in twenty eight if Trump, If you're 253 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Trump's VP, and you're and you're DeSantis right now, there 254 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: are other people Trump could pick his VP that aren't 255 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: as well known. For instance, I'll just toss one out. 256 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: If he picked Christy Knowam. I don't think that means 257 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: Christy Knowam has to be the nominee in twenty eight. 258 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: I think if DeSantis were the VP, it would be 259 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: a default Trump wins in twenty four. There's not hardly 260 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: even a campaign in twenty eight on the Republican primary side. 261 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: I see, I see the logic of it. I don't 262 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: think he would take that role. 263 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. 264 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 3: I don't think it's and it's not because it's not 265 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 3: because of legal I'm looking at the egos, the egos 266 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 3: and mentalities of the men involved. 267 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen some you know. 268 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: I just don't see it. I don't see it. Look. 269 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 3: The good thing about all this is we'll see, we'll 270 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: let we'll end up seeing if this goes. We should 271 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: ask Vivek, by the way, who is on in the 272 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: third hour, would you gladly accept if you are not? 273 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: Vivek says, he's right. He is running, and he has 274 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: been gaining to be fair, and we try to be 275 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: very fair to all the candidates. Vivek has been gaining support, 276 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 3: you know, so you got to treat that with respect. 277 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 3: He's obviously people are listening and they're liking what they're hearing. 278 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: I don't think he would say at this point there's 279 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: no chance that I would be Trump's VP. We could 280 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: try this out with him, the fact, would you take 281 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: a VP job with Trump? He would not say, no chance. 282 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: We can ask him. I think it's like when you're 283 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: going after chicks. 284 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes the best way to get the chick is to 285 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: pretend you have no interest in getting the chick. 286 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: So tried and true. 287 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: All the boys out there, young guys, and every girl's like, yeah, 288 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: one of the best ways to get the chick. Pretend 289 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: that you have no interest in getting the chick makes 290 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,239 Speaker 1: you way more desirable. 291 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: Which reads sports and chick analogies. We cover a lot 292 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: of ground here on this show. 293 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: It's all psychology sports chicks, It's all psychology, all right. 294 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: We're going to get into more of this. 295 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: Also, we do have coming up, Senator Marsha Blackburn is 296 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: going to be joining us from a Tennessee, which is 297 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: a fantastic state. 298 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: We'll get to that and a little bit earlier. 299 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: This month, we took a long holiday weekend to celebrate 300 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: our nation's Independence Day and remember our freedoms and the 301 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 3: heroes who fought for our freedoms. But have you thought 302 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: about this that there are more America today, unborn Americans 303 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: that do not have that freedom of life in liberty. 304 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: These are the children we may never meet because abortion 305 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: has been chosen over giving them life. Every day, unborn 306 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: babies lives are under attack.

China holds 424 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 5: as much as eighty percent of some of the debt 425 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 5: from some of these countries that they're pushing into, such 426 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 5: as Djibouti. They're in the Horn of Africa, and what 427 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 5: we have seen is an uptick in this aggression. They 428 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 5: feel like Joe Biden is week he is compromised. He 429 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 5: is not going to stop them, He's not going to 430 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 5: hold them to account. So in their push to be 431 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 5: globally dominant by twenty fifty, to make this the China Century, 432 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 5: they feel like they've got a lot of run and 433 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 5: that they can make a lot of headway. They knew 434 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 5: better than to try to do something like this on 435 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 5: Donald Trump. They knew that he was he would come 436 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 5: after him and there'd be hell to faith. But for 437 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 5: Joe Biden, they think they can push this off propaganda. 438 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 5: Nothing's going to be said for goodness takes. They wouldn't 439 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 5: go take down this spy balloon. They won't go after 440 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 5: Cuba for setting up a training facility within one hundred 441 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 5: miles of the US. So why would they tell them 442 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 5: to take down these Chinese Communist Party police stations that 443 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 5: now are in seven seven US cities, and they are 444 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 5: surveilling Chinese nationals who are here working or living.

It is showing 448 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: their power, showing that they can push their way past 449 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 5: that the President of the United States, and that you 450 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 5: can't outrun them no matter where you go on the 451 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 5: face of the arts. If they can spy on you 452 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 5: in the United States of America, they can find you 453 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 5: anywhere else. So it is trying to instill fear because 454 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 5: fearful people are easier to control. 455 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Center Blackburn, I'm sure you also saw yesterday, and I 456 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: agree with everything you're saying about China, and thanks for 457 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: being one of the foremost attackers in frankly, all of 458 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: the American body politic when it comes to China's evilness 459 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: and the fact that we need to be calling them 460 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: out when you see what happened with the FBI, and 461 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: yesterday Christopher Ray spoke, and I'm just in disbelief that 462 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: we could enter into a place where the FBI is 463 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: as politically compromised as it is, and where frankly, the 464 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: rank and file of the FBI who go to work, 465 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: I do think every single day trying to catch bad 466 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: guys is now being tarred and feathered by the awful 467 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: leadership and the political degree of protection we see with 468 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and the persecution of Donald Trump.

So I asked him, under oath, 489 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 5: if he was a participant in any writings, any meetings, 490 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 5: any conversations, any emails, any phone calls dealing with what 491 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 5: happened with the election with Joe Biden, Biden incorporated Hunter 492 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 5: Biden's laptop, anything against the pro life activists, anything against 493 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 5: parents being labeled as terrorist. And he refused to answer 494 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 5: the question. So I've sent it to him and writing 495 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 5: for a response, and I was pleased. Senator Hawley joined me. 496 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 5: He followed me, and the questioning he picked up on 497 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 5: that line of questioning. Also, these people feel like they 498 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 5: running the FBI. They have the two tiers of justice 499 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 5: system locked In Tennesseeans don't want that. The American people 500 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 5: don't want that. They want equal opportunity, equal access to 501 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 5: equal justice for all. And they're offended with the smugness 502 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 5: and the arrogance of people like Christopher Ray and Brendan Long, 503 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 5: his former deputy chief of staff, who under oath will 504 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 5: not tell you the truth about what is going on 505 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 5: or what their part was in it. And I did 506 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 5: a telephonetown hall the other night. Thousands of Tennesseeans on 507 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 5: this telephone town hall. We did questions for an hour 508 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 5: and so many times regardless of this, the question was 509 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 5: about inflation, or the border, or AI or any of 510 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 5: a host of issues. People would say. And I got 511 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: to tell you this. Two tiers of justice. This the 512 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 5: Biden thanks not being held to account, the Clinton's not 513 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 5: being held to account, people getting favoritism from the government. 514 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 5: People are exhausted with it, and they want it to stop. 515 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 3: Senator Marshall Blackbird of Tennessee, thank you for being with us. 516 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 5: Glad to join you. Thank you. 517 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: A former Wall Street insider and renowned financial newsletter publisher, 518 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 3: has words of caution for each of us. Tika Tuaii 519 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 3: is his name. He believes our federal government could soon 520 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: announce a mandatory national recall on the US dollar. Those 521 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 3: would be replaced with a new digital version that will 522 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: be radically different from what you have in your bank 523 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 3: account Right now. Tika Tuaii is warning that the official 524 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: announcement could come as soon as two weeks from now. 525 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 3: That's on July twenty sixth.

That website is Dollar Recall dot Com, 534 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 3: paid for by Palm Beach Research Group. 535 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: Once more, Clay and Buck that you didn't here on 536 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: the show, get podcast extras in the Klay and Buck 537 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: podcast feet. Find it on the iheartapp or wherever you 538 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. 539 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 3: I think this is good news, but it also raises 540 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 3: the reality of well, who isn't on board with this? 541 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 2: Clay you see this one. 542 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 3: Seventy percent of US adults say that transathletes should only 543 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: be allowed to compete on a sports team that corresponds 544 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: with the sex they were assigned at birth, according to 545 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: a new report from Golf. You know, I've had this 546 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: dream that one day, Clay I could, like in later life, 547 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 3: teach a class on media propaganda. You know, like at 548 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: a university level. It'd have to be only kids that 549 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 3: actually want to learn real stuff. Because this is a 550 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 3: fascinating moment in it. Notice, okay, seventy percent of adults 551 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: say that transathletes, basically trans men shouldn't be able to 552 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: compete against women in sports. Two things that I that 553 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: I have though in my head as I look at this, 554 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: Who are the thirty percent according to this whole That's 555 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: way more than I think a lot of us would 556 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 3: have anticipated. I thought it was probably more like, you know, 557 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty and then beyond that, sex assigned at birth. 558 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 3: Notice how they NBC News filters into the conversation that 559 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 3: also known as your gender sex assigned at birth, also 560 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: known as male or female. 561 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: What I would say jumps out to me, Buck is yes, 562 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: it should still be higher. But I think this is 563 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: evidence one there's going to be about. Unfortunately, I think 564 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five percent that are just not gonna move. 565 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: They don't care. They are super left wing. They think 566 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: that trans people should be able to do anything, that 567 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: gender is basically made up. I don't know where their 568 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: baseline of support is. I'm guessing it's twenty or twenty 569 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: five percent. But here's what's interesting, buck the number. It's 570 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: now sixty nine percent according to this They rounded it 571 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: up in the headline, but it's up from sixty two 572 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: percent two years ago. So this is why I'm always thinking, 573 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: and I understand there's people out there that get super 574 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: frustrated over how slow some of this stuff has to 575 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: be to percolate in. 576 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: I think the Riley Gains is of the world. 577 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: I think what happened with Leah Thomas becoming a Women's Champion, 578 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: I think it's filtering in. I think for a long time. 579 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: This is the way the story works a lot of times. 580 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: And you guys will understand this. The first thing that 581 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: gets said whenever you point out an issue like this 582 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: is what that's not really happening. So if you say, well, 583 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: men who identify as women shouldn't become Women's Champion, the 584 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: first thing that a lot of left wingers say is 585 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: why do you care? That's not really happening, And then 586 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: you have a situation like Leah Thomas, which cuts through 587 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: I think a bunch of the noise. Again, it was 588 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: sixty two percent two years ago. Now it's up to 589 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: just shy of seventy percent. Well, that's a decent movement. 590 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: And then people say, oh, wait, it is happening. And 591 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: then the pivot goes to, well, it's happening and it's 592 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: actually a good thing. 593 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: Right that they will move. 594 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: From it's not happening, you're out, you're crazy, what in 595 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 1: the world are you thinking, and then they rapidly pivot 596 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: to of course it's happening and it's a good thing. 597 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: Right now, Democrats are trying to make the argument, of 598 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: course it's happening and it's a good thing. 599 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 2: And Buck I mentioned this. I think it's ties in 600 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: what we're talking about. 601 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: RFK Junior, to my knowledge, RFK Junior is the only 602 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: Democrat in the entire country that has been willing to say, actually, 603 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: you should compete again your biological gender. Remember, every single 604 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: member of the Democrats in the House and the Senate 605 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: voted against the bill that would say exactly this and 606 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: then the final way that I would analyze this is 607 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: buck the less you know about sports, the less you 608 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: realize how much gender matters. If you never have played 609 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: a sport in your life, you may sit back and say, well, 610 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: there's not that much difference between men's and women's athletes. Well, 611 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: there's actually a tremendous difference for anybody who's ever competed 612 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: in athletics. But a lot of left wingers, a lot 613 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: of super left wingers, are not interested in athletics. That's 614 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: kind of a badge of honor. They're totally committed to politics. 615 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: They're not going to actually ever have played sports. But 616 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: anybody out there who's ever coached little league, or who's 617 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: ever been involved in high school sports, to say nothing 618 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: of college or pro sports, knows that your gender matter 619 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: is a tremendous amount in terms of how good you 620 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: can be at a sport. 621 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: Yes, this is obvious, but yet we're still at a 622 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: point as you as you said, it's they rounded it up. 623 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 3: You're looking at thirty one percent of people are so 624 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: insane that they really think that watching sixteen year old 625 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 3: boys compete against sixteen year old girls, you know that 626 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: that's not insane. I mean, that's insane. I mean, this 627 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 3: is the problem. The problem is we're arguing with crazy folks. 628 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 3: The problem is if you try to sit down and say, hey, 629 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 3: can we all reason through this? The answer from these 630 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 3: libs is no, they cannot. They are unmoored from reality. 631 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 3: They are often never Never Land. They think that MSNBC 632 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: is giving it to them straight. 633 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: The gallop pole is actually interesting, Buck, because the so 634 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: it's sixty nine to twenty six. Now okay, and I'm 635 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: doing math in my head, what is that like? Seventy 636 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: to twenty six would be ninety six, right, So it's 637 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: five percent of people evidently don't have an opinion on this, 638 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: So only twenty six percent of people say, and I 639 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: grant it, it's way too high. But what's interesting, Buck, 640 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 1: is in May of twenty twenty one, thirty four percent 641 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: of people were in that camp. So just in the 642 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: last two years, the you should be able to play 643 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 1: on whatever team matches your gender identity, it's gone from 644 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: thirty four percent of people saying that to twenty six percent, 645 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: So they've lost eight percentage points in support. And I 646 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: think that's because we're slowly cutting through this noise and 647 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: pointing out how absurd this is. Because again, at some point, 648 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: you can be and maybe you're listening to us right now, 649 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: and this is you. You can be super liberal, right 650 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: traditional liberal, but at some point inclusion becomes exclusion. And 651 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: this is a good talking point that I'm starting to 652 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: see other people pick up on that I hadn't heard 653 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: anybody else say. If at some point you are a 654 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: dude and you identify as a girl and you say 655 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: I deserve to be included in women's sports, you're arguing 656 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: for inclusion, but your inclusion excludes women. Leah Thomas took 657 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: away a championship from a women swimmer, her or his 658 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to say, inclusion excludes real women. 659 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: And I think that cuts through and people start to. 660 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 3: Understand because what people are seeing is the argument is 661 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 3: not let trans individuals compete against women to be nice. 662 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 3: That's that's just a strategy. The actual argument is trans 663 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: women are women. Yes, this is the point. This is 664 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: where you're either in or you're out. 665 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 2: Of this lunacy. Folks. 666 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 3: You either see it or you don't. The argument is 667 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 3: not be nice to the twelve year old boy who 668 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 3: thinks he's a girl. Let him play on the girls team. 669 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 3: The argument is the twelve year old boy who says 670 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 3: he's a girl is a girl. That is the argument. 671 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 3: And I'm just this is the foundation of totalitarianism. If 672 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: they can get you to believe that, they can get 673 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 3: you to say and believe anything, which is sort of 674 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: why you see the psychology of the schizophrenic left on 675 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 3: display here where they get so upset about this because 676 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 3: they want you to comply. If they can make you 677 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 3: say yes to this, anything is on the table, why 678 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: they're so dedicated to and I. 679 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: Think it's also buck why it's such an essential example 680 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: of the brokenness of much of our discourse in America 681 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: on the social related issues. It goes right to the essence, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, 682 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: male or female. Most people are like, yeah, this is crazy. 683 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: They're trying to get you to say something that is 684 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: a lie, and enough people are starting to say no.
