1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The third hour of The Clay Travis 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show is now here. Thanks so much 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: for rolling with us. Well me, Clay is out today 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: on vacation. We missed the big guy. He'll be back 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We still have so much to talk about 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: with all a few the realities of the fight for 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: Twitter and free speech still very much underway and at 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: Clay and prime in major cities. If you saw some 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: of the numbers from of the weekend shootings in Chicago, 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: a fatal stabbing at a Dave. I've never been to 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: a David Busters before, but it's right here in Times 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: Square in New York City. Barely a stabbing occurred at 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: the Prize Area and I just drove past it in 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: a taxi as all the police cars were swarming to 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: get there and trying to figure out what's going on. 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: But before we get into all that, I just want 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: to tell you there is the breaking news today that 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the City of 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: Boston violated a group's right to fly a Christian flag. 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: The short version of this and I haven't. I'm on air, 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: so I haven't a time to read the opinion as 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: it's come down. But the basics of it is that 24 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: the city of Boston allowed different groups under the diversity 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: and inclusion idea to fly their flag alongside the uh 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: the city flag of Boston. And then they'd said, well, 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: but not not your flag Christian group, because that's not 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: diversity and inclusion. Oh no, that was that was too 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: much even for the leftists on the Supreme Court. So 30 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,279 Speaker 1: a unanimous decision, there's not a huge not a huge decision. 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: There's gonna be some much bigger decisions coming down um 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: in a matter of weeks. But just a reminder of 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: how far left many of these city ease and the 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: city bureaucracies and administrations are willing to go, and what 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: they're willing to push for these days, the kinds of 36 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: arguments that they will make. And you know, here in 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: New York, I can't even I tell you this, and 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I say to myself, I can't believe this is this 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: is serious, that they're starting to ramp up again over 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: the COVID fears. Oh no, we might have to do something, 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: you know, there could be some kind of restrictions coming 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: into place. I think they realize the New York City 43 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: has raised the COVID alert. I think they realize that 44 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: people are increasingly unwilling to go along with the most 45 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: absurd theatrics of all of this. I was going to 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: fly this past week and down to Florida. In fact 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: ended up not to have to make a last minute 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: of change. So I have not yet experienced the great 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: freedom of being on a plane without a mask on 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: your face, not since the order has gone. But I 51 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: am hopeful that we will, we will continue to be 52 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: in a place where we don't have to go through 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: the absurdity of it. And I just if we had 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: real journos, including at the White House Correspondence Association dinner, 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: could just one of them please ask Fouci not why 56 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: did you refuse to go to the main dinner but 57 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: you went to the pre parties which everyone says, actually 58 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: we're all the really cool people hang out, and I 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: guess the afterparties too. Why would you go to those 60 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and not actually go to the big dinner? Like, explain 61 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: the science behind that. Don't don't give me some talking 62 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: points about however, my risk tolerance here and there and 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: everywhere can be in a constant state of flux. No, no, 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: I want someone to ask Fouci. He won't. I would 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: ask him, but he won't talk to me, even though, 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: come on, Fouch, we went to the same high school man, 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: come on, we're reggians. He does not he does not care. Yeah, 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: true story, true story, the Fouch. But I want someone 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: to ask him, explain that from a scientific perspective, people 70 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: look to you for advice on this. Unfortunately, still, I 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: want someone to tell us how it is, why it 72 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: is that that makes even the slightest bit of sense, right, 73 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: Explain the data, Explain the signs of that it won't 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: do it now. I also think since we're talking about data, 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: it's worth looking at the areas where Democrats are particularly 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: vulnerable going into the midterm election. We've talked about some 77 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: of them today. The transagenda for children, for sure, that's 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: a that's a big one, because it's real, it's there. 79 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: I don't understand how anybody, you know. Sometimes you'll even 80 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: see people who will criticize some of those, the beauty 81 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: pageants for very young girls, and I think that's I 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: think that's weird. I mean, I agree with the criticism 83 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: that that's not something that's really appropriate. Why would they 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: think a drag show for twelve year old boys? Okay, 85 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't understand how that doesn't become a bigger part 86 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: of the of the argument here. Discovery plus Discovery's supposed 87 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: to appeal that I don't even know what's on Discovery 88 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: these days. I remember when some of these channels that 89 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: used to have, like, you know, lions on the Serengetti 90 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: planes and stuff. I used to love all those those 91 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: nature shows that they would have, you know, the Blue Whale, 92 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And now it's like, here's how you 93 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: make Here's how you make something that goes room. You know, 94 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: it's like this is this is on the Animal Planet. 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: I mean, like, well, what are we doing here? But 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: it's always you know, you know, it's a it's a 97 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: job where you get really dirty. And I say, okay, 98 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: well that's cool. But I don't know what this has 99 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: to do with with Discovery or the you know, the 100 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: History Channel. Somebody said this about Elon Musk. I would 101 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: give credit, but I don't remember who it was. Once 102 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: he was gonna buy Twitter, once it was clear as 103 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna buy Twitter, that it would be cool if he 104 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: could buy the History Channel and make it do history again, 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: which I tend to agree. I tend to agree with 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: that assessment. But on the issue of crime in major cities, 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to continue to explain to everybody why 108 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: this is so important and how we got how we 109 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: got to this place, because they're going to act like 110 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: it's really complicated. And if you live in Phoenix, Houston, 111 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, trying to 112 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: think of and I'm sure it's probably also the case, 113 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: and you know Saint Louis, and you know some more 114 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: midsize cities of the Midwest where the crime rate has 115 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: just gone up dramatically, and we're supposed to look around 116 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: at each other and just say, this is what the 117 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: Democrats want. Oh man, wow, what a coincidence. It's not 118 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: a coincidence at all. These are the results of policy 119 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: decisions that came about because of a narrative pushed relentlessly, 120 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: relentlessly by the Democrat media and was used to considerable effect. 121 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: You have to remember in the twenty twenty election year 122 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: to defeat Donald Trump, COVID and BLM lockdowns as a 123 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: tool of anxiety, but also as a tool of control 124 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: and political mobilization. And then the BLM riots, protests uprisings 125 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: that occurred all over the country as well. These were 126 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: used for political purposes, but they relied on a degree 127 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: of hysteria. There are all these people who are saying, oh, 128 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: we need more justice, we need more social justice in policing. 129 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Has that actually happened? Did that work? Let's look at 130 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: the results right now? What do the results tell us. 131 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: It's very clear the results show that in jurisdictions where 132 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people, so we can look 133 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: at the numbers more clearly, and jurisdictions where crime was 134 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: already a problem, it got markedly worse when all of 135 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: a sudden the story was the cops are racist, We 136 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: lock up too many people who are minorities. We have 137 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: to change that as a function of policy, irrespective of 138 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: any one individual's criminal acts one way or the other. 139 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: And what we see is that cities are now less 140 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: safe and things are happening on a regular basis that 141 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: you would say are indicators of just how much decay 142 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: there really is in major cities. Right. You see these things, 143 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Chicago over the weekend had Okay, yeah, thirty 144 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: two shot seven fatally over the weekend. That's a lot 145 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: of people to be shot in one weekend. So a 146 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of people who lose their lives in one weekend 147 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,119 Speaker 1: in one city in America. And what are the Democrats 148 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: offering up to change this? If they were showing up, 149 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: if the mayor of New York City, even Eric Adams 150 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: was saying, if you hurt people, I don't care, you 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: know about the what the excuses are, explanations social justice, 152 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: you know, historical and equity whatever. If a human being 153 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: hurts another human being severely seriously, you know, talking about 154 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: a serious assault, kills somebody tries to kill, somebody, rape, somebody, 155 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: does anything, as long as we're going to lock that 156 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: person up for a very long time. If someone breaks 157 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: into a store and steals one hundred thousand dollars of handbags, 158 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: we're actually going to lock that person up because the disorder, 159 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: an anarchy that comes from sailing to enforce laws, even 160 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: about things like shoplifting. Now I'm not talking about shoplifting 161 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: a stick of gum. Right. This is why they're the 162 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: left always loves to do this. They say, oh my gosh, 163 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: I'll think of all the people that are riding away 164 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: in prison because they were found with one one joint, 165 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: you know, marijuana cigarette. Gosh, I say marijuana cigarette and 166 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm twenty years older, but you know, 167 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: one tiny bit of marijuana. Oh, look at all the 168 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: people that are serving life sentences. That's actually not what's happening. 169 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: And while they may be able to and I think 170 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: under California's three strikes law, there have been some egregious 171 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: cases where somebody did something that quite minor, but it 172 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: was a third strike. They need to adjust things like that. 173 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: That's not the reality though. What's happening day in and 174 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: day out. What you see are people walking into stores 175 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: knowing that they can steal and create a climate of 176 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: fear for the employees, create a situation where the companies 177 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: can't actually turn a profit, where small businesses are often 178 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: targeted in all this as well. But sometimes it's the 179 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: big designers and people that you would be told by 180 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: the left, well, they can afford all of this. There's 181 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: a very straightforward way to handle this. You know, we 182 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: used to have this phrase tough on crime. You can 183 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: either have the cities of go down the list all 184 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: the ones that I mentioned to you right east coast, 185 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: west coast, everything in between. You can have the administrations 186 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: of the various mayors and city councils and the police 187 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: commissioners say no more nonsense. Criminals are going to be 188 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: dealt with in a much more severe fashion and serve 189 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: real time for real crime. You know, you can either 190 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: take that approach. Everything else is just noise. Democrats won't 191 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: say it, they won't even do it. Really, you can 192 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: see this. I mean, look at Lorie Lightfoot, the mayor 193 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: of Chicago. Look you have Eric Adams, Syria of Garcetti 194 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. You have mayors and other major cities 195 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: that are Democrat r and you've got Krasners that I 196 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: don't know that. The mayor of Philadelphia is m Krasner, 197 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: Larry Krasners, the district attorney. They're not going to change 198 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: their ways because it would be viewed as an ideological betrayal. 199 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: And this is this is where the whole separation comes. 200 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: This is where the problem is. It is viewed as 201 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: an ideological betrayal of the Democrat base to say that 202 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: we're going to enforce the law against criminals and we're 203 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: going to punish people and we're not going to play 204 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: games anymore. This Oh, we have to end the carceral state. 205 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: And heard that phrase. It just started being used a 206 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. I'm going to end the carcerel state. Okay, 207 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: so what do we do? What happens? Well, what you 208 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: see happening is that there are There was a story 209 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: that just uh I sent this around some of my 210 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: family members. It was about the Madison Avenue stretch on 211 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: the Upper east Side of Manhattan, which is some of 212 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: the fanciest, most expensive stores you could find anywhere. Right, 213 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: it's it's the it's like the Rodeo Drive for the 214 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: Los Angelenos who are listening here, is that that's like 215 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: fancy in La Right, I don't know all that that well, 216 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: it's it's I can't remember the name of the really 217 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: nice mall we were in in Houston, but you know, 218 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: it's like it's like a fancy part where you get 219 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: the you know, the fancy ball in Houston that we 220 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: were the Galleria. I think it was maybe something like that. Um, 221 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: I got to learn more of my my Houston locales. 222 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: I do want to go back at a great time there. 223 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: But on the Upper east Side they actually have these 224 00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: stores where as an anti uh mass the maneuver they 225 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: are they are turning the lights off in the store, 226 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: locking the door, and only allowing people to shop who 227 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: call to make an appointment. This is on Madison Avenue 228 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Eric Adams, the 229 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: Mayor of New York, should have read that story and said, 230 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: my god, I am failing so far, because if you're not, 231 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the probably the safest, most expensive neighborhood 232 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: in all of the five boroughs of New York City. 233 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: And if you have stores there that in broad daylight, 234 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: feel like they can't operate in the daylight because people 235 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: just come in and they walk in, they come in 236 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: with trash bags, and they just take You know, it's 237 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's a female. It's a female 238 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: sales clerk in some of these stores. And even if 239 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: it's not, did you want to be the individual, you know, 240 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: who's making maybe minimum wage plus commission to try to 241 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: tackle two or three guys who may be armed, who 242 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: walk in broad daylight just start fill their bags with goods. 243 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars of theft 244 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: in some of these cases, and you have AOC a 245 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: congresswoman from New York who will say that people are 246 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: stealing because they're trying to you know, they're just trying 247 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: to feed themselves in like buy bread Jack, She says 248 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: stuff like that.

Here's one 288 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: of them play. They posted a funny video. This is 289 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: funny to them, Okay, sensitive content. Twitter said in the 290 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: video they were making fun of Twitter for being too sensitive. 291 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: This is so through the looking glass. And here's what 292 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: happens in the video. This woman who going into the 293 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: Twitter building, this is you know, parody. This is what 294 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: people do on television, have done forever. Okay. She's complaining 295 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: to hr about how sensitive Twitter is, and the guy 296 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: shows her an ink blot and she keeps seeing Hitler 297 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: and all the ink blots. Okay, Then she runs screaming 298 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: out of the building. This is well within what satire 299 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: has always been. And the fact that they's flagged us 300 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: for being insensitive shows their complete lack of self awareness 301 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: about what their own problem is. If that's where the 302 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: line is, you have failed Twitter, and they have.

As I said, we're not able 335 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: to take your phone calls because of a little tech 336 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: issue we're resolving, but we are hopeful by tomorrow the 337 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: phones will be back up and running, and also we 338 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: may be able to get our guest up here momentarily. 339 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: In the meantime, the economic outlook is not good right now, friends, 340 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: for this country, and they, as I've said, they want 341 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: you to believe that this is all coincidence, that has 342 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: nothing to do with who's in charge. It has nothing 343 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: to do with policy decisions and decision making out there. 344 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: All across the Democrat spectrum that really what you see 345 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: here is just you know, cyclical situation. It's actually is 346 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: it good or not? I always think that's so interesting. 347 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: Democrats sometimes will tell you, oh, but look at unemployment, 348 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: it said, I think, what is it? Three point four 349 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: percent or three point five? So that's so good? Right. 350 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: I actually had Democrats that I know come up to me, 351 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: what was it now, maybe a year ago, saying, see, 352 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: the stock market's good under Biden too, so clearly he's 353 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: as good as Trump. People actually said that to me. Now, 354 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: look at the stock market. Turns out, the results, the 355 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: results of all of this, the results of the Biden 356 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: administration are coming in and they are not good friends. 357 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: They are very problematic. And people are noticing this in 358 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: ways that I think are that they can't really hide 359 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: this anymore. They're not really in a place to tell 360 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: us anymore that this is just a passing moment in time. 361 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: Inflation is very high. We have people recognizing that the 362 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: price of everything is going up, and you haven't even 363 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: fully factored into all of this the cost of food 364 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: and where that's going, and the global pressure on food 365 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: supply that's coming up, and that that stuff really matters 366 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: to people, right, this is going to matter to everybody 367 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: in this country who has to think about what their 368 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: grocery bills are and what the the costs are going 369 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: to be month to month for them. And so we know, no, Steve, 370 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: we're not doing Steve yet. Okay, not quite. We'll see, Well, 371 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: we'll figure this out in a moment here. I would 372 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: trying to. It's always a fun thing to do the 373 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: radio tap dance while you're getting the gas. But maybe 374 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: you're not getting the guess, but he's gonna be because 375 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: I want to ask Steve aout inflation. I want to 376 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: ask him about if we don't get them today, we'll 377 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: get him tomorrow. I want to ask him about the 378 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: cost of fertilizer, which I don't talk of it a lot, 379 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: but it's because it's really important. I know it's one 380 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: of these things. It's like the cost of gas, right, Well, 381 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: everyone knows gas is really important because you're filling up 382 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: your car with gas all the time. You're probably not 383 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: filling up your car with fertilizer all the time. That 384 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: would be a bad idea. So yeah, we're gonna we're 385 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: gonna be diving into some more of the economics of this. 386 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: And you know what, actually, I'll take a pivot here 387 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: for a second while we're waiting to see if we 388 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: get Steve into the realities of buying Twitter as it 389 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: pertains the lives because this affects everything. It affects perceptions 390 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: of the economy, it affects the mood of the country. 391 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: What is the information that's out there and how are 392 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: people consuming it? What are they what are they picking up? 393 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: Because look, everyone's got jobs, they got stuff, They've got families, 394 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: they have, you know, households to run. They've got a 395 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: lot on their minds beyond just doing what I do, 396 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: which is essentially sit around all day and read about politics, 397 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: national security, some economics, culture stuff. And so they need 398 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: to be able to control the spigots of information or 399 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: else they worry about the future looks like. And this 400 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: then brings us back to the notion of disinformation out there. 401 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: Here is, for example, and this is about the buying 402 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: of Twitter. Here is a CNN media analysts I've never 403 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: heard of before who says that it is dangerous, dangerous 404 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: for Elon Musk to buy Twitter. There's a bigger problem 405 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: here about how we are going to control the channels 406 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: of communication in this country. In nineteen twenty seven, we 407 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: had the Radioact. Nineteen thirty four, the Communications Act. Congress 408 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: stepped in. We made rules. FCC wasn't great, but it's 409 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: still regulating the broadcast industry. You can't use vulgar language. 410 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: You can't do all these things with speech. We gave 411 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: over what amongst our airwaves or our Internet waves to 412 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and we are in so 413 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: much trouble because those guys believe in making money. I 414 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: think we can look to the western countries in Europe 415 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: for how they are trying limited. But you need controls 416 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: on this. You need regulation. You cannot let these guys 417 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell. 418 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: We are there. Trunk opened the gates to Hell and 419 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: now we're they're chasing us. This guy is great is 420 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: on CNN. Oh, it's fantastic. We are heading to the 421 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: gates of hell because the richest man on the planet 422 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: wants to allow people to actually share their thoughts on Twitter. 423 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: Think about this, and people are going on TV. This 424 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: guy's going on I mean CNN is technically national TV. 425 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: Technically it's not really nationwide viewership particularly, But he's going 426 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: on TV to say that we are entering this dangerous 427 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: period for democracy because people may be able to share 428 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: their share their ideas more freely. I remember that for 429 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: those of you who are on Facebook and these other 430 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: platforms too, a lot of what starts on Twitter ends 431 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: up on those platforms. So just having a place for 432 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: it to start, it's almost like the Twitter can be 433 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: the the germination of the seed. Is that? Am I 434 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: getting that right? It's like the beginnings of the Yeah, right, 435 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: it's the seeds? German eight? Is it not really a plant? Guy? 436 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: But I'm learning. I'm learning about these things. And so 437 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: here we have CNN showing you and all these other 438 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: voices out there showing you that the whole point is 439 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: that they want to be able to control what you think, 440 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: what you say. They don't care that it's obvious that 441 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: they don't actually believe in free speech anymore. They don't 442 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: care that we all see what's going on. This is 443 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: about power. Ultimately, it is about power. It is about 444 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: control of people that don't want to go along. Never 445 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: mind just conservatives, people who don't want to have a 446 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: narrative that is forced on them. And be unable to 447 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: push back. I mean, if you can't speak freely, are 448 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: you really free? Ask yourself that. And if there are 449 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: restrictions on the speech that you can get away with 450 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: even on policy issues, without being shut down by corporations, 451 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: by government working with those corporations. I mean, here you 452 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: had an individual telling you that he wants to use 453 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: the force and power of the government to regulate. Now. 454 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: They want to regulate it. Now, they want to regulate, 455 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: they want to get it going. Before they were oh well, 456 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: our people are in charge. The leftists over a Twitter 457 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: are in charge, so there's no reason. There's no reason 458 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: for us to overregulate it. They're doing a great job 459 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: in the conversational health space at Twitter. It's pretty amazing 460 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: that this is what we were up against, that this 461 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: is how obvious it is. Stephen Moore will join us 462 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow because of our our phone lines here. I don't know, 463 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: is this like this a Soros conspiracy, someone hacking into 464 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: the phone lines here? What's going on? Phones are having 465 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: some trouble folks that I saw about.

But the only place you'll find 517 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: it is in the Buck Sexton Show podcast feed and 518 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: will be out tomorrow. So if you like, if you 519 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: want to nerd out with your history self and learn 520 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: about one of the most epic battles in all of 521 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: history in fifteen sixty five, at least in pre well 522 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: pre modern warfare, i'd say the Siege of Malta.

So now I've now I've 524 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: called my shot in the upper decks, and now I 525 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: have to finish it tonight, no matter how tired I am, 526 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: remember how much other content I've done. But if you're saying, well, Buck, 527 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: how do I listen to that? That'd be so cool, 528 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: and it might be good because it's it's history. It's 529 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: not like uh, you know, commentary or conservative commentary doing history. 530 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: It's just history, and it's a really interesting time period. 531 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: And if enough of you subscribe and check it out, 532 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: then I'll do more of them.

So but that's the Buck Section Show podcast, 536 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: which I hope you will check out listen to. Usually 537 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: it's about a short version of preview if you will, 538 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: what we'll talk about on the big show on any 539 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: given day. But I'll throw fun stuff into that feed 540 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: sometimes as well. And obviously the Clay and Buck podcast, 541 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: which is monster, huge, huge download numbers because of all 542 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: of you. Thank you so much for that. It is humbling. 543 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: It is very cool to see those numbers growing along 544 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: with all of our affiliates who are sending us such encouragement, 545 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: especially in places where we are number one, which see 546 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: now now I missed. Now there's the big guy, because 547 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: where's where's Clay with? He can rattle off all of 548 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: our number ones like like in his sleep. I know 549 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: a few of them, but he's he's got them all down. 550 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: Pat Um so we also have a serious discussion that 551 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: needs to be had about the energy policy in this 552 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: country and the realities of what the green lobby, if 553 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: you will, has has pushed for here and here this 554 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: was interesting to me as we saw this. You have 555 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I get this right. 556 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: Citadel CEO. Citadel's a big private equity firm, one of 557 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: the biggest ones, if not the biggest, as Ken Griffin 558 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: talking about the global warming mentality what it has done 559 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: to fossil fuel production, because this is about a broader 560 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: philosophy of fossil fuel bad, green new deal climate energy, 561 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: of a climate change, renewable energy stuff good. That is 562 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: the This is turning into a moral question for the 563 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: left instead of a straightforward economics issue. And here is 564 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Ken Griffin on that one. He's speaking at the Citadel 565 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: Global Investment Firm conference. Big Picture of the West embraced 566 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: the fight against climate change in such a profound way 567 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: that we have grossly underinvested in fossil fuels, and as such, 568 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: with a shock the fossil fuel system like we're seeing 569 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: today with the war in the Ukraine. We just don't 570 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: have the energy resources in North America and Europe to 571 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: solve the collective needs of the West, and so we 572 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: have a price shock. You see it, the gasoline pump. 573 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: You see it every day. You should drive down the street. 574 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: This is the truth, this is what has actually happened. 575 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: If they can tell you all this stuff abow like Jensak, 576 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: he can get up there from the West wing, we 577 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: like totally love gasoline, Like gasoline is like great, except 578 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: it destroys the planet. But like other than it being 579 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: like a planet destroyer that will end all human life, 580 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: like we are all about like making your gas price 581 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: like super low, like totally, but they're actually not. And 582 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has as really a core of its 583 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: ideology because look, I think I think there are a 584 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: lot of people who are leftist who are searching and 585 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm getting a little philosophical here, not for the first 586 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: time on the show, it's really not for the last. 587 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people on the 588 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: left who are searching for purpose, who are searching for 589 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: something that gives them a greater sense of meaning. They 590 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: might be nominally religious in some way, but not actually 591 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: a believer, and so that part of them, that that 592 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: existential angst is by no means answered by whatever nominal 593 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: religious faith they had or nominal religious upbringing maybe in 594 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: the background, and so climate change becomes the great cause, 595 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: the great struggle. How this becomes the crusade, which I'm 596 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: sure they would say, don't use that term, although that's 597 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: another thing I've actually got under the banner of we 598 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: call them shields high to history podcasts, and there's actually 599 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: one on the fall of Constantinople. There's one on the 600 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: First Crusade. So if you want to learn some of 601 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: the truth about how the Crusades actually went down, you 602 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: can go and check out the feed on the bucks 603 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: X and show. I'm just saying because now I'm really 604 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: digging in here to how we're going to do multi later. 605 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: But they're looking for existential purpose, and the climate change 606 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: push for all of them becomes their reason for so 607 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: much of what they do in life, because it affects everything, right, 608 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: and you are saving the planet if you listen to 609 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: the climate change lobby. That is the what could be 610 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: more important that you get to be? You know, Bruce 611 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: Willis and Ben Affleck on the asteroid drilling into the 612 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: center to put the nuke to you know, remember that 613 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: from Marmageddon. That's how they save the planet. And you 614 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: get to do that just by recycling, taking a bicycle 615 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: more often, and whining a lot about CO two emissions. 616 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: You are effectively saving the planet, right, I mean, that's all. 617 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: It's not. It's not an amazing thing. You are a 618 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: hero if only you bend the knee to The glaciers 619 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: are melting, the polar bears are drowning, and we need 620 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: to make everybody in the developed world, in the whole world, 621 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: actually poorer and less free as a result of the 622 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: government regulations that come from trying to push us into 623 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: this green future. And just look at the hostility they 624 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: have toward Elon Musk, who he has said of himself 625 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: and it is true, has done more with not just 626 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: Tesla as a you know it used to be. I'm 627 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: just gonna be honest. Do any of you guys have 628 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: a Prius? I always offend prius drivers. Look, if you 629 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: listen to the show, I love you no matter what 630 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: you drive. You could be driving around in a tricycle 631 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: with little streamers on it and a little basket in 632 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: the front as an adult. I don't even care if 633 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: you listen to the show. Your family but I do 634 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: make fun of prius Is as I think the ugliest 635 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: car ever. In fact, when they did perceptual, I don't 636 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: know if that's the word studies of Prius is. They 637 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 1: didn't want them to change the design because people drove 638 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: them because they were so obviously hybrid cars and they 639 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: wanted so it was like, get the ugliest looking car 640 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,760 Speaker 1: on the ugliest color, but you're saving you're saving the planet. 641 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 1: Elon has actually made electric cars cool, like I might 642 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: actually get a Tesla, like they're great cars, Like people 643 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: that I know drive them say they're fantastic. But the 644 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: technology that Tesla has and is honing is fine tuning 645 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: is incredibly useful, battery technology and energy transfer technology incredibly 646 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: useful for getting us to a less CO two intensive future. 647 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: And they hate Elon Musk anyway because he's not a 648 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: totalitarian wacko basically. And look, we're asking a lot of 649 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: Elot right now. I mean, you know, hopefully he doesn't 650 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: wake up on the wrong side of the bed in 651 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: a few weeks and say, eh, maybe we should you know, 652 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: shut down. I don't think he's going to. I'm just 653 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: saying we're putting a lot of faith in this guy's hands. 654 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: I hope he follows through on it, but yeah, Green 655 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: new Deal mentality and all that comes with actual literal 656 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: costs for all of you. It's a fraud and it's madness. 657 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: And that is your pint of wisdom for the day. 658 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: More tomorrow, talk to you. Then play Travis and Buck 659 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: Sexton on the front line of truth. Mm hmmm
