1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We are

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: joined now by Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. We're going

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: to dive into President Trump's announcement last week that he's

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be bringing the National Guard into Memphis, which,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: according to many measures of violent crime on a per

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: capita basis, may well be the most dangerous city in

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the entire country. But I want to start with this,

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn. First of all, I missed you in Knoxville,

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: where you and I were both attending the Georgia Tennessee game,

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: which did not end well for the good guys in

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: this case the team wearing orange. But I know that

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: you were all over the place there and it's a

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: sporting event. But I bet you had a similar experience

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: as I did, Senator Blackburn, which is the number of

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: people who came up to me that wanted to talk

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: about what happened to Charlie Kirk, even at a sporting event,

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: was unlike anything I've ever seen before. No One usually

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: people want to come up and it's almost exclusively, Hey,

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: who's going to win the game? What do you think

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: is going to happen? Almost everybody that came up to

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: me at the sporting event wanted to talk about the

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk situation. I not asked you this, but I

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: bet you found it to be similar as well. And

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I know you have a grandson that attends the same

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: school as my sons, and the impact on young men

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: in particular of this assassination has been extraordinarily awful. But

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: their response has been I have seen very profoundly courageous.

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: I've been very encouraged. So that's a big prelude, But

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious what you found in both those situations.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I will tell you. I have been just

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: so honored about the conduct of my grandsons and their

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: classmates and how they held a memorial for Charlie Kirk

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: and for the remembrance of nine eleven. And our grandson

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: even noticed that the flags had not been moved to

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: half staff before before class started, so he walked out

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: to the flagpole and he lowered the flag to half staff,

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: and I think one of the teachers kind of got

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: in behind him a little bit about it, but he

39
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: said he was following the president's order for all flags

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: to fly at half staff until six pm on Sunday,

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, if that's what you get

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: in trouble for, that's a pretty good thing. Honoring someone

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: who was assassinated, honoring those that lost their lives in

44
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: our military, who fought after nine to eleven, in all

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: of those brave first responders, and doing what the President

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: said was the order of the day, which was lowering

47
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: the flags. And you're right about being get University of Tennessee.

48
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: We could hardly get through the crowd, like you said,

49
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: without people saying, look, we stand with Charlie Kirk, we

50
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: stand with family values in Tennessee values and morals, and

51
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: we stand with the President. And it was just such

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: an outpouring, I think for so many college students, whether

53
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: you were there in Circle Park or at one of

54
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: the fraternity houses or wherever play. It was astounding to

55
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: me that these kids were such a fan of Charlie Kirk.

56
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: They listened to him, they followed him, they enjoyed his podcast,

57
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: and they wanted to They love the way he speaks

58
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: truth and have so gravitated to that. They loved President Trump,

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: and they just wanted to register their shock and they're

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: just appointment with what had happened and their grief in

61
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: many respects. And we had a great sermon yesterday at

62
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: our church and the minister said something I think is

63
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: so important is that while we turn the other cheek,

64
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: and we know to turn the other cheek through evil,

65
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: we cannot turn a blind eye. And that is incumbent

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 2: on us to remember that we have to push back

67
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: and fight against evil. And it is pure evil that

68
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: caused someone to try to silence Charlie Kirk. And as

69
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: we have seen, his message now will be more powerful

70
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: than ever. The outpouring of support for Charlie and his

71
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: work for Erica and their children. It is not singular,

72
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: but it is global in nature, and indeed, I think

73
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: this is truly a turning point.

74
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: Senator Blackburn, appreciate you being with us. Something that's also

75
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: getting some attention in the news cycle today is the

76
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: move by President Trump to perhaps bring National Guard and

77
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: bring federal resources to your home state and specifically to

78
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: help tackle the out of control murder rate in the

79
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: city of Memphis. What can you tell us you know

80
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: about this so far, what stage is the planning and

81
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: do you believe that this would be able to have

82
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: a marked impact and effect to bring that murder rate down.

83
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I do think it is going to be helpful.

84
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: And what we know is this Cash Battel gave me

85
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: a commitment when he came to meet with me before

86
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: his hearing for his FBI confirmation, and I'm on Senate

87
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: Judiciary Committee. I asked him in my office and then

88
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: again publicly at the hearing to help me with Memphis

89
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: and getting an FBI surge in Memphis. Under President Trump's

90
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: first term, we had a program there called Legend. It

91
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: had great results. Biden ended it. Crime surged. We needed

92
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: something back. So this summer for two months we had

93
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: Operation Viper. There have been over five hundred arrest There

94
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: have already been over one hundred indictments. We know Memphis

95
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: has one hundred games. They have a per capital murder

96
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: rate of twenty five hundred per one hundred thousand. That

97
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: is why it's the most dangerous city in the country.

98
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 2: We know that during the surge, Memphis had the best

99
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: August it has had in years. Whether it's murders or

100
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: rapes or sifts burglaries, assaults, all the numbers have been

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: down and significantly down. Some the best in twenty years,

102
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: some the best in over five years, so this has

103
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: made a difference. Now the surge with the FBI is over.

104
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: They've worked closely with Memphis Police, with the Mayor of Memphis,

105
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: and they need to continue this multi phase approach and

106
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: it has been an interdisciplinary strategy with different agencies. So

107
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: in order to back up the Memphis Police Department, you

108
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: will have the National Guard. Now they can go in,

109
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: they can do paperwork, they can do logistics, they can

110
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: do traffic. There so many things they can do and

111
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: this will allow Memphis Police, who do have arrest powers

112
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: to go in and apprehend others in these gangs and

113
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: get them off the streets. And that's where Memphis PD

114
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: needs to be focused is continuing to apprehend these gang

115
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: leaders and gang members that are selling drugs, that are

116
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: doing sex trafficking, human trafficking, that are carrying out these sets.

117
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: You know, in Memphis, it's a logistics hub, and we

118
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: have the port at Memphis. We have all five Class

119
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: A railroads I forty that goes from the east coast

120
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: to the west coast, and you also have fet X.

121
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: So when you've got all of this with the river,

122
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: the rail the highways, the air cargo, theft is a

123
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: big issue, and these gangs have created processes to go

124
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: in and rip these containers and carry out cargo theft.

125
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: So being able to have the police work with these companies,

126
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: whether it's rail or water, our highways and I get

127
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: a handle around this cargo theft is vitally important. Also,

128
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: so the National Guard is going to be appreciated. They

129
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: are going to be welcomed in Memphis. We want Memphis

130
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: to be safe, We want it to be prosperous. It

131
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: is a wonderful city. It has a brilliant it has

132
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: a promising future, and a big part of that is

133
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: getting the crime under control.

134
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Center Blackburn, I just Buck and I started off the

135
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: show talking about the dark soul of the left in

136
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: this country that so many people have felt compelled publicly

137
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: to celebrate the assassination of Charlie Kirk. That's a big question,

138
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: and it's one that I've been thinking about a lot.

139
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: How do we fix this? Because if your soul is

140
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: so dark that when you see a father murdered in

141
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: cold blood simply for sitting in front of an open

142
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: mic and saying tell me whatever you believe, too, the

143
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: soul of so many people is profoundly evil here. How

144
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: do we fix the rot in our culture? What can

145
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: we do.

146
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: Well?

147
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: I this is something that talking with people through the

148
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: process of legislation that I have worked on with the

149
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: Kids Online Safety Act and trying to get that passed.

150
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: And you look at what these young people are picking

151
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: up on social media. They become isolated. They get onto

152
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: these platforms like Reddit and discord, and they get into

153
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: these discussion groups and instead of it being a tool

154
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: that opens their mind and something for good, it narrows

155
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 2: their thought process and they become very angry. So I

156
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: think the church has a role to play in this.

157
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: I think parents have a role to play in this.

158
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: A governance for social media platforms have a role to

159
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: play in this. Looking at the mental health of kids,

160
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: that is something that has to be done. It's not

161
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: going to be fixed by one thing or another thing.

162
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: But I do believe that strong families can help. I

163
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: do believe is that getting kids off of these social

164
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: media platforms that will help. I do think that incur

165
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: And I will say this, I think the Governor of

166
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: Utah has done an exemplary job in this getting kids

167
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: off these devices. You know, right now, the studies that

168
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: we have seen as we worked on keeping kids safe

169
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: and trying to hold social media to account. You know,

170
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: kids are spending teenagers are spending as much as eight

171
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: hours a day on the phone, yeah, eight hours. Middle

172
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: school kids are spending about five. And when they're doing this,

173
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: they're being exposed to things that young minds are not

174
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: equipped to see this. I mean, this is why we

175
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: have ratings on movies in theaters. You can't take a

176
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: tile to an X rated movie. You can't sell them

177
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: alcohol or tobacco or firearms. You can't take them to

178
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: a pornographic show or a strip club or sell them magazines.

179
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: But on the virtual space, they're exposed to it twenty

180
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: four to seven and they become desensitized. And you know,

181
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: I just I am and some of my friends. We

182
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: are just praying, deeply, praying that skills will fall from eyes,

183
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: and that people will awaken and they will realize what

184
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: is happening to our children in our society. That they

185
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: will encourage our children to boldly stand for values and

186
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: for right and to stand against some of this evil

187
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: presence to come off of these devices. And that means

188
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: that adults, parents, teachers, preachers, everyone's going to have to

189
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: do their part.

190
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 3: Senator Blackbird always appreciates you. Thanks for joining us.

191
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: You got it. Take care by now.

192
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: When inflation lingers, when we see unemployment figures that are

193
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: starting to go in the wrong direction, and when we

194
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: realize that that thirty seven trillion in debt is going

195
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: to be there and getting bigger, no matter what this

196
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: administration is able to do, maybe it's time to think

197
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 3: about buying some gold, whether you do it as a

198
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: hedge against inflation or just because you know it's time

199
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: to diversify. Birch Gold Group believes every American should own

219
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: we're going a lot of talkbackts just about this one

220
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: point that a caller made about TMZ. We said, we

221
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: only want to focus on those who we are sure

222
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: were making the horrific decision to celebrate what happened to

223
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: our friend Charlie Kirk. A lot of you are telling

224
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: me you've done the the sleuthing on this one.

225
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 5: Though.

226
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: We're getting a lot of talkbacks about this. Remember I

227
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: didn't say one of the other I'm just saying that

228
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: TMZ claims, No, that's not what happened. I have not

229
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: dug into the tape. A bunch of you were saying

230
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: you have dug into the tape meeting you put simultaneous

231
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: to the car chase and TMZ up here, we've got

232
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: Chris from Tampa who listens on WFLA play it.

233
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, that TMZ thing is real. They people have

234
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 6: broke down on that video and got the actual car chase.

235
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 6: The announcers on the car chase like whatever time it

236
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: was one or something like that matches the clock that's

237
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 6: next behind Harvey when he's doing the interview. When the

238
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 6: people start cheering, as the announcers on the car chase

239
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 6: said that Trump just said that Charlie Kurt bad, that's

240
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 6: when they started cheering.

241
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: I don't I don't have to go back and watch

242
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: this and link this up.

243
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: I don't know.

244
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: I haven't. I've only seen the Hey, that's not what

245
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: was going on. If it was going on, then.

246
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: We obviously condemn it. If it was what's going on.

247
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: But I've just I think it's only fair to note

248
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: that they claimed quickly that that wasn't what was going on.

249
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: So now we're relying on but a lot of people

250
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: are calling and saying that, you know, they've done the analysis,

251
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: so uh, they say, no, you know, we're reporting, we're not.

252
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: I'm not claiming one way or the other. We're reporting

253
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: that this is what they said, and others are saying, no,

254
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: that's not what happened.

255
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: All I can say is this, I ran a media company.

256
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: If that had happened when I ran a media company,

257
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: I would be deeply concerned about the culture that I

258
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: had created, and I would fire everyone. This is one

259
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: of the good things about being the boss. You get

260
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: to make decisions about the culture that you're going to

261
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: allow to exist. A culture that celebrates death, legitimately celebrates

262
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: death is not a culture that I want to be

263
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: affiliated with, and so I would I would fire, and

264
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a very difficult decision to make.

265
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 7: Buck.

266
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: And if I were Harvey Levin and that were true,

267
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: I wouldn't cover for employees. I would fire them, and

268
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: I would do so publicly, because you are the culture

269
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: that you create inside of any business, inside of any organization,

270
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: and if you've got cheering going on there, I can't

271
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: trust the opinion of anybody inside of TMC.

272
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I totally agree with all of that. Let's take

273
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: Gretchen and Georgia. Hello, yeah, Gretcha. We got about twenty seconds,

274
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: but we want to get you in.

275
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 8: Go ahead, that there's always going to be evil. There's

276
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 8: always going to be evil, and there's always going to

277
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 8: be good, and you can't get rid of evil. Unfortunately. However,

278
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 8: I believe one of the ways to fight it with

279
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 8: these people that are saying these bad things about Charlie,

280
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 8: I think we need to process all the wonderful things

281
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 8: that Charlie has done since the age of eighteen, and

282
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 8: we need to keep talking to all those people that

283
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 8: he says and brought to Christianity, and we need to

284
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 8: keep talking about Christianity.

285
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 5: That's how we fight evil.

286
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: Totally agree. Thank you so much for the call. Excellent. Look,

287
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: it was nearly two years ago the terrorists murdered more

288
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: than twelve hundred innocent Israelis and took two hundred and

289
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: fifty hostage. This wasn't the only attack in Israel, but

290
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: the first of dozens of subsequent attacks from three more

291
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: hostile forces. There's a movement in this nation to remember

292
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: that first brutal attack. It's one of love and support

293
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: for the people of Israel, called Flags of Fellowship, and

294
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: it's organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

295
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: It's happening just a few weeks from now, on October fifth,

296
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: millions across America will prayerfully plant an Israeli flag and

297
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: honor and solidarity with the victims of October seventh. You

298
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,640

302
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. I want

303
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: to give you kind of an indication of what some

304
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: faculty members are saying. This is who the University of

305
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee just fired. She went on social media. This professor

306
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: did Tamar Sharinian, and she said his kids are better

307
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: off living in a world without a disgusting psychopath like him,

308
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: and his wife is a sick blank for marrying him,

309
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: so I don't care about her feelings.

310
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 6: The world is.

311
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: Better off without him, And even those who were claiming

312
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: to be sad for his wife and kids, like his

313
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: kids are better off living in a world without a

314
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: disgusting psychopath like him, and his wife, well, she's a

315
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: sick blank for marrying him, so I don't care about

316
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: her feelings. That seems pretty If you're a taxpayer, funded

317
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: employee of the University of Tennessee. I don't think you

318
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: should be employed in posting those things on public after

319
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: a political assassination. There are lots of things she can

320
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: do for a living, work being funded by partly my

321
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: tax dollars. That seems like a really easy call to me.

322
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 9: I don't know.

323
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think anybody who's like, hey, you know what,

324
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. You're a public employee and you have

325
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: decided to post that. I don't think you should be

326
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: teaching kids at the University of Tennessee. I don't think

327
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: that's a difficult standard.

328
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 5: Buck.

329
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I also wanted to play this. Dan Lanning is the

330
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: coach of the University of Oregon. I'm not going to

331
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: say that this is the greatest, most perfect statement that's

332
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: ever been made, but Charlie Kirk was a big University

333
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: of Oregon fan, and Dan Lanning wanted to acknowledge him

334
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: after the game that they played against Northwestern. So this

335
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: is what Dan Lanning said. He's the coach of the

336
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: University of Oregon. Oregon pretty blue state. But Dan Lanning

337
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: felt that he wanted to speak out about this. It

338
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: would have been easy for him to say nothing at all.

339
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: I thought this was very well said. Not saying it's perfect,

340
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: but I did want to play this because Charlie Kirk

341
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: would have been very impressed that this happened. He was

342
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: a huge University of a Oregon fan. He never met

343
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning, but this is what Dan Lanning had to say. Listen,

344
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: have you recently found.

345
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 7: Out, like Charlie Kirk was an Oregon fan?

346
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: Right?

347
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 7: I didn't know that.

348
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: I hurt for his wife, Erica and their kids like

349
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: that sort of evil should never exist in our country,

350
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: and that's what it is.

351
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 7: Evil.

352
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 4: I wish the world could learn a little bit of

353
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: something from our locker room, because we got.

354
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 7: A bunch of people with differences in what you got in.

355
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 7: There is a bunch of people love there.

356
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: And there's some people that'll be disappointed about how much

357
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: I said about this, right, And there'll be some people

358
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: that are disappointed that I didn't say enough.

359
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 7: Right now, I really don't care, right.

360
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: What I do care about is if you disagree with me,

361
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: if you hate me, if you don't like me, just

362
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 4: know this, I love you.

363
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 7: I absolutely love you, right, and life matters.

364
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: And that's no way that Charlie should have experience that

365
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 4: his family should experience.

366
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 7: That there's no way that evil should exist in this world.

367
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I reached out to Dan to let him know

368
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: that Charlie was a University of Oregon fan and he

369
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: wanted to say something after the game. Now, I've been

370
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: to a lot of postgame press conferences. A lot of

371
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: coaches avoid saying anything because, especially a guy in a

372
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: blue state. I'm sure if you go online and you

373
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: look that Dan Lanning is getting ripped, I would encourage

374
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: all of you say thank you. Sometimes people ask, hey,

375
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: how do we win in a world of culture? You

376
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: just heard Dan Lanning there. He's getting ripped by a

377
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of people who are saying, how dare he say

378
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: something positive about Charlie Kirk and his family? Use your

379
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: social media for good? Just a suggestion if you hear

380
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: and see somebody standing up for just speaking out and

381
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: taking slings and arrows. One thing for Be and Buck,

382
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: we appreciate and love that you guys have our back

383
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: and it means a time, trust me. But in the

384
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: larger culture, there are people that the left is going

385
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: to try to slap down that are influential, that aren't

386
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: talking to you every day for three hours go give

387
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: them support, stand up for them.

388
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: Clay and I are shock troops, like we're used to.

389
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: All the the slings and arrows are meant for us.

390
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: We take them and that's the deal. A lot of

391
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: other people, though, in positions where they have a platform,

392
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: but this is not their job, that support really does

393
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: matter because they're not used to it. Clay, I come

394
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: across people sometimes who have a public facing job, not

395
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: what we do right, not media, and they'll say, you know,

396
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 3: how is it? You know, do you get upset or

397
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: does it bother you when people say these things?

398
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: You say?

399
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: And I've had to tell them honestly, you get numb

400
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: to the psychos. You just love the good people and

401
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: that's how you go for it every day. You know

402
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 3: who the good people are, You know who the lunatics are,

403
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: and the lunatics their words, you know, sticks and stones.

404
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: I think that's true, and your boy is, and probably

405
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: hopefully future kids will grow up in a world and

406
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you just got to talk to

407
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: the kids. I mean, I think it's somewhat helpful for

408
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: my boys that they are able to see the difference

409
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: between what people say about me and what day to

410
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: day existence with Dad is and I think that in

411
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: all facets of life, it's important to remember that a

412
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: lot of what you see online is not true, and

413
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: teaching kids that is important. But for people who are

414
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: not necessarily in the fight every day, like Buck and

415
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: I are, who are used to taking the slings and arrows,

416
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I do think it's been very easy for Dan Lanning

417
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: to say nothing at all. It would have been incredibly easy.

418
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: Most coaches are going to choose not to say anything

419
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: at all. He when he found out that Charlie Kirk

420
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: was a big Oregon fan, he wanted to make sure

421
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: that he acknowledged him, that he spoke out even though

422
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: he's in a blue state, even though he's in a

423
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: prominent position. And I do think that as a culture,

424
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: we can embrace people who are willing to do what

425
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: it's right, even though there may be a cost in

426
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: them and even though arguably their job is not in

427
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: that arena. I thought that what Dan Lanning said was

428
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: really impressive.

429
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: I hadn't heard of this coach, not surprising to anybody

430
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: until you brought this up and told me about this Clay.

431
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: And you can just tell this is a man who

432
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: wants to sleep well at night and doesn't want to think.

433
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: You know what, I could have spoken out and been

434
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: a part of the solution, or I could have been

435
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: quiet and maybe felt a little bit like I was

436
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: being a wimp. Yeah, and he decided that he wanted

437
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: to sleep knowing that he took a stand for what's right.

438
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: And I think there are a lot of people out

439
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: there who have that that impulse right now, and you know,

440
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: they should all be they should all be commended, and

441
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: we should hopefully see a lot more of that. Jinny

442
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: in South Carolina, Ginny, you wanted a wayh in let's talk.

443
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

444
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 9: Hey, I just want to let you know that I

445
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 9: heard where clay Son is fifteen today and he started

446
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 9: the chapter. Now she's wanna let to night that My

447
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 9: daughter is also has a birthday today, she's seventeen, and

448
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 9: she also started the initiative at her high school to

449
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 9: start a Turning Point USA chapter.

450
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: So, happy birthday to your daughter. She's seventeen. My son's

451
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: turning fifteen. He did not start. He went to the

452
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear. He went to all

453
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: of the events on campus. And there are tons of

454
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: young men at his school who were dressing up in

455
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: supportive and to Jenny, to your point, this is actually awesome.

456
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: There is an overflow reportedly of kids at different high

457
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: schools all over the country, of kids at different colleges

458
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: all over the country who want to start their own

459
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: Turning Point organizations in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination.

460
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: So we get a lot of questions about young people,

461
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: and your daughter's doing exactly what she should be doing.

462
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to her, Jenny, Thank you for calling in.

463
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: This is what your kids can do. If you've got

464
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: young boys and they were particularly troubled by what they saw,

465
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of you do young girls

466
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: and they were particularly troubled by what they saw, have

467
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: him start turning point organizations, Have them speak out and

468
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: be courageous and brave on Charlie's behalf. It's turning one

469
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: of the most awful stories that any of us have

470
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: ever seen in our lives, a political assassination like this,

471
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: into The best positive result that could be is that

472
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: we have more people speaking out and creating opportunities for

473
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: others all over the country.

474
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: Chris in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, you're up.

475
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 7: Chris, Hi there?

476
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like I just heard the Dan Lanning

477
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 5: interview that you guys played. You know, that's what Charlie was.

478
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: Charlie was somebody that was in the daylight, exampling his

479
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 5: faith that he loved everybody that was around him, even

480
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 5: the ones as much that came against him as the

481
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 5: ones that came for him. And that is and that

482
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: is key to faith. That is key to what Jesus

483
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: Christ teaches us to love everybody. It isn't that you

484
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: love this one or that one, because the people across

485
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 5: the Islea want to play games with loving with terms

486
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 5: terms and love are incompatible.

487
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: Look, I think that what you are and a lot

488
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: of people are recognizing is Charlie's impact was seismic at

489
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: finding kids where they are. And this is what we're

490
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: trying to do with this show. This is why I've

491
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: talked about YouTube, this is why I've talked about TikTok.

492
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: This is why heck there is a video version of

493
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: the show, is because so many people out there consume

494
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: media in different ways now than they did traditionally. Russia

495
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: is an a legend, absolute incredible voice for freedom Radio

496
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five was a way that was the

497
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: best way to reach the audience twenty twenty five, we

498
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: got to be everywhere. The number of media that existed

499
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five compared to now, you had basically

500
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: tell television, cable, and you had radio. Most young people

501
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: don't listen to traditional radio. Most young people don't even

502
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: watch traditional television anymore. And the reason why there's a

503
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: video version of this show is we're trying to go

504
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: where the audience is. We want to find them on YouTube,

505
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: we want to find them on TikTok, we want to

506
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: find them on Instagram, wherever they are Twitter, certainly where

507
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Buck and I are very active. You got to go

508
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: where the audience is. And I think Charlie saw it.

509
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: And when you go where the audience is a lot

510
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: of people Buck are very very responsive to these arguments,

511
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: and they're not seeing them any elsewhere.

512
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 5: The heck.

513
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: This is why to me, I still am not going

514
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: to give up sports, because a lot of sanity is

515
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: in the world of sports. You just heard what Dan

516
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Lanning said. A lot of young men in particular, are

517
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: impacted a lot of young women by the coaches around them.

518
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: And I love sports and I always will and I'm

519
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: going to fight for sports to represent the meritocracy and

520
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: the best of America. And that's what the NFL on

521
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: the field tries to do. It's a meritocracy. College football

522
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: on the field, it's a meritocracy. The Major League Baseball,

523
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 1: whatever sport is out there, it's the best man or

524
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: the best woman, not the best woman pretending to be

525
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: a man. And if you love sports, you can play

526

529
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: We would have had a five to one payout. He

530
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: let us down.

531
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,360

Speaker 3: It adds an element of danger, adds an element of

546
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: mystery of the situation.

547
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,720

Speaker 3: in studio with play so we're getting the chance to

566
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: to hang out today together and after the show, we're

567
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: actually gonna be doing some video stuff because we're going

568
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,239
Speaker 3: to be really upping our video efforts going forward. One

569
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: of the big focuses. A lot of you have asked

570
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: for it, so we're gonna be doing that. But Clay

571
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: was told because we have to specify these things. Ever

572
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: since little incident at the White House where Clay showed

573
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: up in like a Tommy Bahama shirt and cargo shorts

574
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: and was like, I'm here to see the President. They

575
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: were like, excuse me, or he didn't have his passport

576
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: with him because he doesn't have real ID, one or

577
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: the other. You can choose which version of the story.

578
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: You can choose which version of the story you believe.

579
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: I like my version better that he showed up in

580
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: Tommy Bahama. But Clay was told today not to wear

581
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: sandals or shorts, and he came through with that. I'm

582
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: not gonna lie, I thought.

583
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: But then he's so well.

584
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: He wore a shirt that technically has a collar. There

585
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 3: is technically a collar, but the collar is sort of

586
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: it's like it's blended into the rest of the shirt, like,

587
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: what do you do to your polo shirts? Do you

588
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: beat them with a baseball bat? Is this something you do?

589
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I think that I look I think that I looked.

590
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: I intentionally dressed well today.

591
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: I mean the neck is so big, like Fabio would

592
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: blush if you could see how well it's got not buttoned.

593
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: But I I thought I looked good. I walked in

594
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: all confident this morning into the studio and producer Ali

595
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: was like, immediately, and we're not married, but this is

596
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: the equivalent of your wife saying, are you sure you're

597
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna wear that?

598
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

599
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: No, is that what you're wearing? It reminds me of

600
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: my electric blue golf polo that I was so excited

601
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: to wear before my wife was like, you look like

602
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: you work at best Buy and that shirt was donated

603
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: to somebody who perhaps wants to work at best Buy.

604
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: I bought this shirt when we were in DC, and

605
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: I thought I looked really good at it. I'm like,

606
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: it's Carolina blue. It's like a good look and I walk.

607
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: It's just the structure of it that I think is

608
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 3: more the it's it has. It's giving mumu a little bit.

609
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: I think that's why you know, it's a little a

610
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: little bit aggie, little big around some of the areas

611
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: that I.

612
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: Looked good in it. And then they bring in another

613
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: shirt that one of the producers gave me, and it.

614
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: Actually that looks like something Tony Soprano would be wearing.

615
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you the truth. That's very like a

616
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: by a being.

617
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 9: You know.

618
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's gonna work for you either,

619
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: but we'll post some of these videos onlines. You guys

620
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 3: can see. I'm just wearing a hooded sweatshirt which they

621
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: have approved, it seems for video purposes because they weren't

622
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: expecting much from me either. So I feel like I,

623
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: you know, I managed to get off easy this time.

624
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: I wore pants and a polo and I thought I

625
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: looked fantastic when I walked out of the hotel this morning,

626
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: and I am being told that I look off.

627
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: So it's just very casual, very casual. You know, you

628
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: look like somebody who as a flirty And I feel

629
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: like I can say this has just sort of ended

630
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: up living in one of the keys and not really

631
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: sure what he's gonna do today, tomorrow or next month,

632
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: but like he's there, you know, that's what that polo

633
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 3: is giving on. I'm just gonna start.

634
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start wearing tuxedos everywhere I go, and

635
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: then no one can ever complain about anything that I wear.

636
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: I actually there was a kid in my high school

637
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: who got in trouble for being in violation of dress

638
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: code a few times, and he did start showing up

639
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: in black tie with the ruffles just as like a

640
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 3: and he got in more trouble.

641
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: What I respect that, kids, I respect his intent.

642
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 3: I feel like you could pull that out, like if

643
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: I see you tonight on on Hannity or whichever Fox

644
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 3: show you're gonna do, and you're in full blown black tie.

645
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: You know, it used to be with gentlemen wore a

646
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: gentleman war, you know, as a more casual thing. Black

647
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: tie was the more casual it was. It was white

648
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: tails that was the more formal. So there you go.

649
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: But so anyway, there's a video version. I thought I

650
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: looked great. Evidently I do not. And we will see

651
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: how this all plays out. We're in New York City tomorrow, Buck,

652
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about this probably a little bit more tomorrow,

653
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: And the timing on this ends up being I think

654
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: actually somewhat important. I am debating Stephen A. Smith, and

655
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an event. It'll be streamed.

656
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 3: A wive mine plays cutman, I may, I may be

657
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: rubbing his shoulders, but it's for the fight, everybody, It's

658
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 3: for the fight.

659
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna be going to that event tomorrow as soon

660
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: basically as we finish the radio show tomorrow in New

661
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: York City. It'll be streaming. But you know, free speech,

662
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: I think has never mattered more than it does right now,

663
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: and so you should be able to argue for anything

664
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: under the sun that stops short of hey, it's great

665
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: to kill people. And we will break down all that.

666
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot of fun. We're in New York

667
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: City together for the next several days, and in all seriousness,

668
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: we do appreciate all of you and how incredibly phenomenal

669
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: you have been as we dealt with I think, probably

670
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: as it fair to say, Buck, last week was the

671
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: toughest week that we have ever had as a show,

672
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: Yes for sure, and so I hope we have helped

673
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: make your last week as much more much more bearable

674
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: because of us, and you certainly have made things much

675
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: better for us.

676
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 7: We'll see you tomorrow,
