1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. We are rolling on here with our 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: three of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. And 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: one thing we've been talking to you about for the 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: whole year that we've been on the air together is 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: the mom brigades. Parents getting more and more fired up 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: about what their kids are being taught in schools, the 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: agenda of the left increasingly radical, but also increasingly exposed 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: by a lot of good work coming from people on 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: the right. And one of them is our friend who 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: joins us right now, Pete Hegseth, veteran of the United 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: States Army co host of Fox and Friends Weekends. His 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: new book is Battle for the American Mind, uprooting a 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: century of miseducation. Pete. Great to have you back. Man. Hey, guys, 15 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: thanks for having me tell us about this one. Because 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: we think that there are a few issues that get 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: a lot of attention going into the and they should 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: right crime, border, economy, those are probably the big three 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: for us. But right up there and maybe right alongside 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: one or two of those, would be education. What's going 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: on in the classrooms, what's going on to the universities 22 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: and the apparatus of the left, what it's doing to kids. 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Tell us about the book especially now, Yeah, I mean 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: we call that realization that's occurred in the last couple 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: of years the COVID sixteen nineteen moments. Parents had their 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: kids at home and laptops and they saw the curriculum 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't what they thought it was. And it's 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: because largely in conservative Republican circles, we've been asleep at 29 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: the wheel fighting other fights. And while the progressives have 30 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: executed what I would call a full consolidation of government 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: schools public schools. I salute the parents protesting at school 32 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: board meetings. I think it's immensely important. I think parents 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: need to get involved. But we described it in the 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: book as it's like charging a fortified machine gun nest 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: with NERF guns. We salute your efforts, but we're all 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: going to die if we think that's going to change 37 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: the trajectory of what's happening. The pipeline for over one 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: hundred years has been what they've focused I'm burrowed in 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: on and they've been wildly successful. You know. Hemingway once 40 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: wrote about bankruptcy. It happened gradually and then suddenly, and 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: that's what the book uncovers, is it happened gradually over 42 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: one hundred years, very concernedly. They wrote about it intentionally, 43 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: and now we're seeing the quick aspect of it as 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: they press their advantage, going from bias to indoctrination, now 45 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: to full on activism for our youngest of kids, who 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: are always the target. And the reason we wrote the 47 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: book is the first step to recovery is understanding the 48 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: depth of your problem. And for the parents and grandparents 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: out there, we just want them to come to grips 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: with the fact that you know, you know the old adage, 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: I love my congressman, but I can't stand Congress. It's 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: that same thing, you know. I know public education is 53 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: messed up, but my school's okay, no, it's not not yours, 54 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: not mine, not the one I went to. I was 55 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: a public school kid. They're pressing the advantage. I want 56 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: parents to know about it, and the book shares what 57 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: you could do about it. Pete, appreciate you coming on, 58 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: I was also a public school kid. What do you 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: think the impact will be based on moves, for instance, 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: that they're making in Florida with Ron descantist the battles 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: that are being fought there. If, as we anticipate, we 62 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: get a red wave or red tsunami potentially in November, 63 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: does that help to change the trajectory here? It helps 64 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: on the political levels, but it only helps on the margins. 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Winning elections is not going to change the nature of 66 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the classroom. When you understand what John doing. The progressives 67 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: did how they first removed God, replaced it with a 68 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: forgery and allegiance to the state, and then consolidated it 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: through and then the marksist show up to the critical 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: theorists at the Frankfort School at Columbia University, pushed it 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: through the teachers colleges. Then the unions consolidated their power, 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: all of these institutions, by the way, led by socialists 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: and atheists, eventually Marxists. Then the Supreme Court kicks God out, 74 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: the Department of Education is created by the teachers unions 75 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: quite literally, and then you get the federal consolidation through 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: common Core and what we see today. Winning a school 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: board election or even a gubertatorial election will help in 78 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: preventing the current manifestation of one or two theories, but 79 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: they will always try to find a way to slip it. 80 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Take for example, of this book, Battlefie the American Mind. 81 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: It's been number one in the country for three year. 82 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: For three days, a book called How to Raise an 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: Anti Racist by Ebrahm x kend came out the same 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: day as my book. No one's going to read it. However, 85 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: every teacher's union, every teacher's college, every publication is going 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: to press it down the pipeline as the curriculum or 87 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: the pedagogy how teachers teach in the diversity, equity and 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: inclusion lends in local public schools, middle schools, and elementary 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: school That book will have more institutional impact than this expose, 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: because that's how they think. So I love win an election, 91 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: but we can't count on elections. We've got to We've 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: got to do it ourselves. Go to Pete Hexeth now 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: he's Fox and Friends Weekend co host and he's got 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: this book out. You should check out Battle for the 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: American Mind, uprooting a century of miseducation. Pete, do you 96 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: think that the left, maybe at some level some of them, 97 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: not all of them, right, the true believers, Reality doesn't 98 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: exist for them? So what difference does anything that we 99 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: see make to them. But do you think that the 100 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: current battle that we've seen playing out in Florida over 101 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: the transagenda as it pertains to very young children, added 102 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: also to the left's insistence on what feels like a 103 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: phenomenon that came on out of nowhere and now is everywhere. 104 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: The drag Queen story hour and drag your kids to 105 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: pride stuff that we've seen in schools, in libraries and 106 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: all over the place. Has the left gone too far? 107 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: And do you think that they recognize that this is 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: an error for them? Politically? Old school liberal Democrats know 109 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: they've gone too are and they have electoral power right now, 110 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: saying Congress, and they want to send up the warning 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: flares about how detrimental this will be to them politically, 112 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: but culturally, this is a reflection of the confidence they 113 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: have that not only won't they be held accountable, but 114 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: they can't be held accountable because they're so insulated inside 115 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: their education departments, inside their teachers colleges, by their teachers unions, 116 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: by the folks that write the tests, the folks that 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: make the standards, the accreditation agencies, every single one of 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: those is controlled by not Democrats but the hard activists left, 119 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: so they don't believe they will be held accountable for this. 120 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: You see school districts defending what's happening, or explaining in 121 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: a way by saying we do diversity, equity, and inclusion, 122 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: which is a phrase invented by critical theorists later critical 123 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: race theorists and critical gender theorists to mask over their 124 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: Marxist secular agenda. So, yes, they've overreached culturally at this 125 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: current moment, but they're counting on a pipeline of kids 126 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: being pumped out. And you might say, oh, this has 127 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: been happening for decades. Yes it has, but we're an 128 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: unchartered territory. When we're telling seven and eight year olds 129 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: to question their gender and not teaching any history other 130 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: than America is bad. You see, the progressives knew that 131 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: it was the youngest kids that were the most appliable, 132 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: and that's why they focused school on the youngest to 133 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: begin with. It didn't really happen to get to the 134 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: youngest until right about now, but that's because they believe 135 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: they have the power to do it and no one 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: will hold them accountable. There are politicians doing some of that, 137 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: and that's good, but it doesn't change the prerogatives and 138 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: incentives of the institutions that feed the classrooms full of 139 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: teachers and counselors and advisers who get paid to push 140 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: this stuff. You've got kids, I've got kids. I was 141 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: having a conversation recently with my wife about the idea 142 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: of a five or six year old kid being able 143 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: to pick their gender. And I'm sure you've had conversations 144 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: like this too. We won't even let our five or 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: six year olds pick what they get to eat for 146 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: a meal, because they would have ice cream or cake 147 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: for every single meal if they could. Yes, how wildly 148 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: outlandish has it become that you're supposed to let a 149 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: five or six year old pick their gender? I mean, 150 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: I just it's it's inconceivable to me that we could 151 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: have ever ended up in a place where any adult 152 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: would make that argument. I know, it's a it is 153 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: a gradual erosion that then, because you've so eroded the 154 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: idea of a objective truth of of standards higher than 155 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: our own human instincts or human identity, that now it's 156 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: gotten to the point where, I mean, I've got a 157 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: six year old who legitimately believes he's got a shot 158 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: of being Batman. Yeah, he grows up now. I mean 159 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: that's this is this is the identity and understanding that 160 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: they have the maturity level. But that's the point is 161 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the left believe, you know, if they if they're only 162 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 1: getting to him in college, you know, they're going to 163 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: convert plenty of them, you know. But there's also gonna 164 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: be plenty of god fearing conservative kids that show up 165 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: at college and reject the wolf nonsense. If your teacher, 166 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: who is an authority figure, even I remember when I 167 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: was fifteen sixteen, if the teacher said it, it seemed 168 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: like gospel to me. Those are more innocent days in 169 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: that sense. If a six year old or seven year 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: old hears it, it's absolute gospel. And the parents are 171 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: You're told your parents are out of step, they're old 172 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: the rooms. So I think it is a lot of 173 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: teachers don't want to do this. This is the activist 174 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: class driving it. But it's always the loudest voices, the 175 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: most radical voices that drag institutions in a particular direction. 176 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: And that's what you see in the pipeline, and that's 177 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: how it ends up, maybe not in the curriculum, but 178 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: certainly in the pedagogy, which is the philosophy of how 179 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: you teach through diversity, equity, and inclusion, which means if 180 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: one student feels uncomfortable, you teach to that level to 181 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: all the students. And that's how it becomes ubiquitous, not 182 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: just in Massachusetts, in California, but in Missouri. You know, 183 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: we have the Attorney General on Fox and Friends this 184 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: morning pointing out what it's happening.

We are looking 216 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: forward to that immensely and cannot wait for Buck's dad 217 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: to be in here. He is a big sports fan. 218 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: He's going to be in studio. My dad is going 219 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: to be called. And again, I do not have a 220 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: lot of confidence in my dad's ability to handle the 221 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: cell phone. Let's just say he's never been on the internet, 222 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have an email address. By the way, a lot 223 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: of you out there probably saying that doesn't sound awful 224 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: right to not have to be plugged in on a 225 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: day to day basis on the internet. But but well, 226 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: that should be a lot of fun. We're looking forward 227 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: to it. Is Grandpa Travis kind of like Ron Swanson. 228 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: Like is he excellent at woodworking? And does he own 229 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: several cabins and perhaps an undisclosed amount of gold? He 230 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: does love. My dad's favorite hobby among many, is picking 231 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: up sticks. He loves to walk around outside. Everybody's dad 232 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: has different hobbies. My dad loves being outdoors, walking around 233 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: in a yard in an outdoor area and being able 234 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: to pick up sticks all over the place is one 235 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: of his favorite things. That is kind of Ron Swanson 236 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: a bit. For those of you who haven't seen it, 237 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: Ron Swanson is one of my favorite fictional TV characters. 238 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: From the show Parks and Wreck, and they really leaned 239 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: into a more He was kind of a different character 240 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: in the first season. Then they realized a very patriotic, 241 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: small government individual with quite a mustache and a love 242 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: of country. And I think he always says he likes 243 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: breakfast food and pretty pretty brunettes or something like that. Yeah, 244 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: he became kind of a show within the show back 245 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: in the Parks and Rectez. No he is. It's gonna 246 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. So we know all of 247 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: you out there. As it gets closer to Father's Day, 248 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: the US Open is going on. I always think a 249 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Father's Day overlapping with the golf tournament because so often 250 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: you have the winner of the golf tournament walking off 251 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: the course and giving a hug to his dad or 252 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: his family in sort of an iconic way. To me, 253 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: is always embedded with Father's Day. You know, I already 254 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: bought some tickets for a sporting event Club Reality US 255 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: Open Tennis, which I do like. I like tennis. I 256 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: grew up lank tennis. I think it's a great sport. 257 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: And I did see this. I was gonna ask you. 258 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Apparently Novak Djokovic is not going to be allowed under 259 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: current USTA US Open rules to play in the US 260 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: Open again because of the vaccination issue. I just is 261 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: that your read I mean, this is what people have 262 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: been saying. I didn't know whether he's allowed in the 263 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: country or whether it's a USTA story. I don't know 264 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: what the rules are right now. Honestly, when you're a 265 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: foreign national and you come to the United States and 266 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: a US federal government issue and not a USTA, potentially, 267 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: I haven't heard exactly that explanation. Because in New York, 268 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: you can remember they changed the rules for the Mets 269 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: and the Yankees, which eventually allowed Kyrie Irving to be 270 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: able to play basketball here because they had the ability 271 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: to play if you traveled in, if you traveled in 272 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: as a visiting team, you could play. But New York 273 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: City had the absurd rules that if you were living 274 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: in the area, Kyrie Irving wasn't allowed to play, but 275 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: he could go sit courtside. And then with the pressure 276 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: rising with the Yankees and the Mets about to play 277 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: and many of those guys did not get the COVID shot, 278 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: so they altered Mayor Eric Adams did altered that rule. 279 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: So my understanding on this was that, and again I 280 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: haven't had to pay a lot of attention with it, 281 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: but if you are a foreign national, potentially there are 282 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: issues with you traveling into this country. I had to 283 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: take a test to come. They've done away with that, right, 284 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: but I remember that had to happen. Just it away 285 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: with it Monday, I believe. But to the point that 286 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: we are in any way disallowing anyone to do anything, 287 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: whether it's serving the military, whether it's playing a tennis match, 288 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: whether it is be a janitor at a school, the 289 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: idea that anyone is still losing their job over whether 290 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: they have the COVID shot or not is to me 291 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: utterly indefensively. I kind of want to walk you down 292 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: when we finished the show today to the subway stop 293 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: right on the corner, just to go down and you'll 294 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: see that the subway still requires masking in New York City, 295 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: I would Planes don't require it, airports, airports don't require it. 296 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: So for essentially to most people on the subway, let's 297 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: say they're commuting something like thirty minutes each way, I 298 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: think that's probably a pretty good average subway commute, maybe 299 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: thirty maybe forty minutes. So for about one twenty fourth 300 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: of your day as a New York City resident, and 301 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't include all the bars, restaurants, offices, everything else 302 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: you go to the City of New York based on 303 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: expert opinion, still makes you put a mask on your 304 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: face in the subway because just because so we're not 305 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, for anyone was why do we still care 306 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: about what Fauci says? Fauci wants, he wants more money. 307 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: By it, we didn't even talk. Can you play a 308 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: clip to here? Fauci's demanding more funding right now, this 309 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: virus is changing and we need to keep up with it. 310 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: In order to do that, we've got to do better 311 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: with new vaccine platforms, such as nanoparticle vaccines. We cannot 312 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: proceed with that unless we get additional funding. Importantly, we 313 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: need to both prevent infection and transmission Clay. They have 314 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: completely failed to prevent infection and trade mission with anything 315 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: they have done. Now he wants a new, untested vaccine platform. Also, 316 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: how is it remotely possible that after spending over five 317 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: trillion dollars that we could need more money for anything 318 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: COVID related? I really want for Fauci, I know he's 319 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: got COVID right now. But I want when this red 320 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: tsunami arrives in November. I cannot wait for Republicans to 321 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: have control of the House and the Senate and to 322 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: really haul him in front of all of those Senators 323 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: and all those congressmen. Fauci to me, I know he 324 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: said he's gonna leave in twenty twenty four, no matter 325 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: what happens in the election. I bet he was. Yes, 326 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: if the Republicans win an overwhelming election. If you're out 327 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: there right now and you're thinking, hey, what are the 328 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: consequences of the mid term. Certainly the House and the Senate, 329 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: wagh in, But we need to send a message to 330 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: Fauci and all of his compatriots out there, everyone who's 331 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: shut down this county treat It needs to be so 332 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: incredibly overwhelming that he's terrified to stay in his job 333 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: and has to resolve. Clay and I are donors the 334 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: Tunnel of the Towers Foundation.

We 352 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: are looking at the highest gas prices ever and really, 353 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: day in and day out, we're gonna keep hitting it 354 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: seems new records. And it would be one thing if 355 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: the people who were so involved in regulating the fossil 356 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: fuel industry had even put aside that they are zealots 357 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: who believe that the world will end because of climate 358 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: change unless they are hyper regulatory in their approach to 359 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: fossil fuels, which are our economy right, I mean, eighty 360 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: percent of our energy needs plus comes from fossil fuels. 361 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: The idea that we're anywhere near transitioning to net zero 362 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: carbon emission, this is all fantasy land stuff, But it 363 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: would be nice if they at least put aside the 364 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: ideological overhang of we're all gonna die because a climate 365 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: change or extinction and whatever existential threat as the term 366 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: they liked, they'd use that phrase all the time. It's 367 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: an existential threat if we don't take care of climate change, 368 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: to humanity, to everybody. They don't have the most basic 369 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: understanding of how the industry works, that it is necessary 370 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: for all other industries in a modern economy. Without oil 371 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: and gas, the entire US and yes, global economy comes 372 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: to a screeching halt. So it's pretty important. It is 373 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: the lifeblood of a modern economy. Do they even understand, 374 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: and when I say the basics, I mean, do they 375 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: understand what you would think a fifth grader would understand. 376 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: I think the answer, unfortunately, is no. They just said yesterday, 377 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration said that they want more output from 378 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: the gas companies and that it's their patriotic duty to 379 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: produce more and charge less. And here, just about an 380 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: hour ago, as White House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre saying, 381 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: we're not saying they need to actually drill more though, 382 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: because we don't need to do that. What we need 383 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: them to do is with the oil that's out there, 384 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: we need them to refine that oil so that prices 385 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: so that the capacity could go up up, and then 386 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: prices it would go down, inherently go down. And so 387 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: now the president one said that he was going to 388 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: end fossil fuel, is that now off the table? Now 389 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: we are going to continue to move forward with our 390 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: clean energy proposal, our climate change proposal. I mean, Buck, 391 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: she has no idea what she's talking about, the basic logic, 392 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: nothing that she said. By the way, credit to Peter 393 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 1: Doocey for continuing to do a phenomenal job of holding 394 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: White House officials accountable for their idiocy. But Buck, you 395 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 1: can't even add up the responses to what she just 396 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: did in that thirty seconds and make it in any 397 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: way logically connected. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, 398 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: the notion that refineries are just not refining what their 399 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: output could be the price of gas right now is 400 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: very high. So refineries aren't actually going to their maximum 401 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: production right now for what reason do they think? And 402 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: the US meanwhile, the Biden administration is saying, well, let's 403 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: go to foreign sources. This you trace all this back 404 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: to what she started to get into there, which is 405 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: this administration. I think Deucey even pointed out Biden said 406 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: we're going to get away from oil and gas entirely. 407 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: They can't say and smile and pat themselves on the 408 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: back in this White House. They can't say we're moving 409 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: away from fossil fuels because they're going to destroy the 410 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: planet and then the next day say, hey, man, no 411 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: problem with the fossil fuels. You guys just got to 412 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: prouce a little bit more from the refineries. We're not 413 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: they Clay. They actually have to get government permission to 414 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: refine more than they currently are. The regulations. The more 415 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: I've been digging into this, the regulations for exploration, the 416 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: leases on different land, offshore, onshore, the regulations for refining, 417 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: the sec disclosures that are required in order to expand 418 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: and to get money together to spanned operations. Because of 419 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: the climate change impact that these industries have it's byzantine. 420 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: The whole thing. Government makes all this harder, more expensive, 421 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: and slower, and then when people say, my gosh, this 422 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: is expensive, the turrounds say it's just those greedy corporations. 423 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: Fault man. Remember when Democrats were furious at Sarah Palin 424 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: for saying drill, baby, drill. Now, all of a sudden, 425 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: the Biden administration is simultaneously trying to say, drill baby, refined, 426 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: baby refined is the case, may see, but also, we 427 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: don't want any oil and gas to exist in this 428 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: country basically at all. It's two diametrically opposed perspectives, and 429 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: Biden needs to come out and just say I like 430 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: the idea of long term energy independence. We aren't there 431 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: and we aren't close to being there. And in the meantime, 432 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: I like the idea of lower gas prices far more. 433 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: We need to unlock all restrictions. He's not going to 434 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: do it because his base is crazy and they will 435 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: be furious at him if he in any way fully 436 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: endorses the idea of producing as much oil and gas 437 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: as we can. How much do you think at this point, 438 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: whether it's on the issue, COVID is a huge one 439 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: clearly in the lockdowns and the masking and the vaccines, 440 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: but also progressive prosecutors defund the police, crime, the wide 441 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: open border, and now energy policy. It's so clear that 442 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: they were wrong, but you think it's more than anything else, 443 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: they just don't want to admit that we were right. 444 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: That is that really the psychological stumbling block, more than 445 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: their true belief in these dumb ideas. I think COVID 446 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: they don't want to admit they were wrong. I think 447 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: the oil and gas issues reflect a fundamental lack of 448 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: comprehension about how business works. Because if you listen to 449 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: what all they're saying, we need a ninety five percent 450 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: profits tax, do you it is such a Venezuelan majuro 451 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: esque policy. If you are removing all incentive to make money, 452 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: then there's no basis for companies like these two exist. 453 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: And so I don't think that in their minds they 454 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: can conceptualize the way that business works and what incentives 455 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: promote more business. People want to invest when they can 456 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: make more money. That's the entire basis of capitalism. And 457 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: the problem that Democrats have right now is they almost 458 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: have no one who knows business well that speaks loudly 459 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: in the party. Think about it, Buck, who is the 460 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: foremost Democrat capitalist with a voice in the room right now? 461 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: We talk about Elizabeth Warren, profit tax, Bernie Sanders effectively 462 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: a socialist, Joe Biden not smart enough to have any 463 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: understanding here. Nancy Pelosi may be a capitalist, but it 464 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: only seems to exist when she's making her stock trades 465 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: and taking advantage of that. I can't speak to someone 466 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: who is a really successful business person and is driving 467 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Democrat policy. Whether you liked Trump at all or not, 468 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: he surrounded himself with successful business people who undersnitch stood 469 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: basic rules of business. He made the former CEO of 470 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: x On his Secretary of State, who some people didn't 471 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: think did necessarily a great job, and he did under 472 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: he didn't understand global energy policy that he did know, 473 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: as well as well as other things. And I just 474 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: point out that it's not even just the gap now. 475 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: The gas shortage and the or I should say, the 476 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: prices on gas are pain that everybody feels. There's also 477 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: still that pain out there that a lot of folks 478 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: don't personally have to deal with, but those who do 479 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: it is acute, it is real, and that is the 480 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage which continues to this day. White House 481 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: Press Secretary k JP asked about this. Here's how that 482 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: one if he asked you the first question out of 483 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: the case was when the President was last tested. We 484 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: just didn't get an answer to that. I did. It's 485 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: a regular cadence. That's what we do. We will share 486 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: per CDC when he is a close contact and is sorry, 487 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: I don't have a timeline for you on this, but 488 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: what I can say is we're doing everything that we 489 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: can from here to make sure that we get you know, 490 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: we get healthy baby formula for American families. We know 491 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: how hardness is at this time, we know how difficult 492 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: it is. But we have up production as I just 493 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: laid out, working with these different manufacturers. We have brought 494 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: a baby formula overseas. We just had a seventh operation 495 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: fly formula mission just yesterday. So this has been a 496 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: priority for this president.

It has 542 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: been an awful lot of fun for us, and we 543 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 1: hope that you are enjoying this process as well. One 544 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: of the things, Buck, that we've been talking about is 545 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. We're gonna get to a couple of your 546 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: calls here a moment, but Joe Biden is it feels 547 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: like almost the only person in the White House who 548 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: hasn't tested positive for COVID in the past year and 549 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: a half. Virtually everyone else never never had COVID. He's 550 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: gotten all of his shots. Doctor Fauci obviously has tested 551 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: positive for COVID recently. Well, the White House Press Corps 552 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: is suddenly getting a bit suspicious about what exactly is 553 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: going on when it comes to Joe Biden and COVID testing. 554 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: And there was a bit of a contentious question and 555 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: answer session in the White House Press Briefing just a 556 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: little bit ago. Here's what it sounded like, Um, this 557 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: is Koree Jean Pierre thirty two. If he asked you 558 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: the first question out of the case was when the 559 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: President was last tested? We just didn't get an answer 560 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: to that. I did. It's a regular cadence. That's what 561 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: we do. We will share per CDC when he is 562 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: a close contact and he has not been a close contact. 563 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: If he were a close contact, we will let you 564 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: know because in the past, you guys have always told 565 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: us the day of the most recent tests. So why 566 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: can't even tell us the data of the most moors 567 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: Right now? I'm telling you he has a regular cadence. 568 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 1: I just don't have a date to share with you. 569 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: But he does have a regular weekly cadence. As soon 570 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: as you find out today your stuff, we will we 571 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: will be transparent about that. But he does have a 572 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: weekly cadence. I just don't have a day in front 573 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: of you of when he was last tested. Do you 574 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: go back there and find out the day you'll share 575 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: with this. I'm not saying that, I'm telling you that 576 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: he has a weekly cadence. Why has that change? Because 577 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: Pat Well, we have always said it's a weekly cadence. Play, 578 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: I have an important question for you. Does Biden have 579 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: a weekly cadence? Is that the most times that the 580 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: word cadence has been used in popular American discourse in 581 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: a century. This is emblematic of Karin John Pierre's inability 582 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: to handle this job because she has to go back 583 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: to the same talking point over and over again. But 584 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: it's also suspicious. Let's be honest that Biden is never 585 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: testing positive, and I wonder if he tested positive, would 586 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: that so undermine the idea of getting COVID shots that 587 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: too large extent they are afraid to admit if he 588 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: has Do you and I and the people listening to 589 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: this would think, Okay, if Biden got COVID, would we 590 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: would know wish well, you know, he's the president, we 591 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: wish him well health wise, Um, he'd be fine. Okay, 592 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: he's overwhelmingly high that he'd be fine. But I do 593 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: think that in the Democrat double mask, maybe I should 594 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: have worn goggles this whole time crowd. That would be 595 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: something of a blow, the same way that that Faucci 596 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: getting and I think has unsettled some people. The Great, 597 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: the Great High Priest of Masking got COVID after taking 598 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: the virus seriously, take the virus seriously, after his four 599 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine shots, still got COVID. So I do think 600 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: at some level they're worried about the optics of that, 601 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: even though that's absurd because everybody's pretty much gonna get 602 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: COVID basically every war has really and if you think, oh, 603 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna get COVID, there's probably a decent chance 604 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: you've already had it yep, and just never even knew. 605 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: And certainly if you have kids, because we know at 606 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: least seventy five of them have antibodies already. So if 607 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: you think, oh, my kids haven't gotten it either, well 608 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: there's about a three out of four chance that you're 609 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: wrong and they've actually had COVID. They were fine and 610 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: you never even knew that they had it. We got 611 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: a couple of people who want to weigh in. I 612 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: believe Buck. Yeah, we find the oil and gas related 613 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: oil and gas because this is this is where some 614 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: some expertise and be really helpful, so folks know what's 615 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: actually going on. Ted in New Jersey works in an 616 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: oil refinery. Ted, what's up, Hey, guys, how you doing? Yeah? 617 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad you're playing these clips. These people infuriate me. 618 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: I work in an oil refinery and units there run 619 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: the best when they're a full capacity, and we're doing that, 620 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: and the nonsense that these people say about you know, 621 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: oh they have to produce. That's what we do. We 622 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: try to run these units at full capacity, and we 623 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: do it when we can. I mean in the refinery 624 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: you have millions of moving parts. Sometimes we you know, 625 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: things interrupt that. But I mean the goal is to 626 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: maxed out units and and run them to make sure 627 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: we're producing all the fuel and the energy that that. 628 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: People need to ask what would have to happen if you, guys, 629 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be able to produce more as an industry, 630 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: not just there. I mean the refineries are obviously a 631 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: critical piece in that. What would have to happen? Because 632 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: the American Petroleum Institute has put out a letter to 633 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: the White House saying the regulation is just crushing. Well, yeah, 634 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean there are a lot of regulations in the 635 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: refining industry and we comply by those. Um, we used 636 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: to get a lot of barrels from on rail from 637 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: North Dakota the bach and crude that slowed down, So 638 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: I guess there's stuff going on out there in the 639 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: fields and you know, but I mean we run to 640 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: full capacity when we can. We got to keep crude inventories. 641 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: I mean we get a lot of and our other 642 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: shipments come in by uh yeah, it's not a light switch. Ted. 643 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for calling in from New Jersey. Appreciate your buddy 644 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: to meet three in Houston. More thoughts on gas. What's 645 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: up Dmitri, Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for letting me talk 646 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: and thanks for letting me express my opinion. Like this 647 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: guy said, infuriation. This people, This secretary of energy, she 648 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: has no idea poor baby. Forty two gallons are in 649 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: the barrel of crude oil. Out of those forty two gallons, 650 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: during the refining process, only twenty to nineteen to twenty 651 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 1: gallons become modern gasoline. Out of those nineteen to twenty gallons, 652 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 1: only eleven to twelve gallons are the ultra low sulfur 653 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: oil that we be able to use. Those eleven to 654 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: twelve gallons become your natural kerosene, your diesel, in your gasoline. 655 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: So this is basically one third of a barrel of 656 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: oil is what's be able to be transported and put 657 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: in our in our vehicles.
