1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: You are listening to the best of Clay Travis and 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: You all know that I am a history nerd, unabashed 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: admit it, huge Civil War history buff. I will talk 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: a little bit more by the end of the week. 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm down in Key West, Florida right now, 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: and yesterday I went to both the Truman Little White 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: House down here in Key West as well as Ernest 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: Hemingway's house. Both were awesome. I'll talk about it later 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: in the week. We got a lot of news that 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: continues to break the one point seven trillion dollars Omnibus 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: spending bill that is on the line right now that 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: we are chasing after and continuing to update you on. 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I should mention as well that Sam Bankman Freed has 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 1: agreed to waive extradition battles in the Bahamas and will 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: be coming back Stateside to face at least eight felony 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: charges in the New York City area relating to the 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: collapse of his crypto fund. But I wanted to also 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 1: make sure that we didn't avoid discussing this. The January 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: sixth show trial is now officially over and Karne Jean Pierre. 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: This was two days ago, but I saw this even 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: when I was off Monday and Tuesday running around with 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: my family down here in Florida, and I simply could 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: not believe that Karne Jean Pierre, who, let's be honest, 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: only has her job because she is a lesbian and 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: because she is a black woman. That is her standing 27 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: for why Joe Biden selected her as White House spokesperson. 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: She has consistently said some of the dumbest things that 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: have ever been uttered in a White House. She stands 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: out as being particularly incompetent at her job, even in 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: a White House where virtually everyone is awful at what 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: they do. Remember we've talked about this on the show before. 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: If you just were sitting around and you said, Okay, 34 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: let's draft someone in the Biden administration that we think 35 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: is pretty good at what they do, it's almost impossible 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: to pull off, because not only has Joe Biden been 37 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: utterly incompetent and the worst president of any of our lives, 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: he's also surrounded himself with arguably people who are even 39 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: worse than he is at their jobs. By which we mean, 40 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: I mean think about Kamala Harris. She is, He's so 41 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: bad that even Democrats are like, yeah, we can't elevate her. 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden worst president of any of our lives, and 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: his vice president is so bad that even Democrats are like, yeah, 44 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, we got to figure out a way not 45 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: to run her. And they're trying to make sure that 46 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden can run in twenty four So January sixth, 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: that's done. Karine Jean Pierre came on and she said, 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not even making this up. I want you 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: to hear it for yourself. She said that January sixth 50 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: was the worst thing that's happened to the United States 51 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: since the Civil War. Listen, we've been very clear from 52 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the beginning that what we saw on January sixth was 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War, 54 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: and the President has been very clear our democracy continues 55 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: and remains under threat. Okay, the worst attack on our 56 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: democracy since the Civil War was January sixth. Now, I 57 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: am a Civil War history nerd, so I could break 58 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: down all the intricacies of this and why it's patently 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: of certain I may do it, but let me just 60 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: point out Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven both happened 61 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: since the Civil War. I would say that the bombing 62 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: on Pearl Harbor was a pretty direct attack on American democracy, 63 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: also way worse than January sixth. I would say that 64 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: many of you, particularly in the New York area, likely 65 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: had friends and family who died in the nine to 66 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: eleven terror attack. That was a direct attack on American 67 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: democracy as well. And it doesn't even consider all of 68 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: the presidents that have been assassinated since Civil War. I 69 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: would say that the assassination of a United States president, 70 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: or an attempted assassination of a United States president, is 71 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: a direct attack upon our democracy. And it's no great 72 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: argument to see what they are attempting to do and 73 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: turning January sixth into something that it's not. Look January 74 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: sixth was a riot. I do not believe regardless of 75 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: what your politics are, then the United States of America, 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: we should countenance riots. That's why I said, starting in 77 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty, no matter who they were, if 78 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: you riot, if you are attacking private buildings, private businesses, 79 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: public buildings, if you are burning, if you are attacking 80 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: anyone in any of these cities, as many people did 81 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: in May June, July, August, September of twenty twenty, the 82 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: summer of riots that erupted in the United States. I said, 83 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: prosecute every single one of those individuals the fullest extent 84 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: of the law. You know what Democrats did. They raised 85 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: money to bail out anyone who was arrested for committing 86 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: an act of violence during that summer of rioting. That's 87 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: what they did. That happened everywhere all over this country, 88 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: massive unbelievable amounts of damage. Many of your communities, many 89 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: of your states, You felt the impact of that. Democrats 90 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: pretty much pretended never happened January sixth, which was a riot, admittedly, 91 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: but was mostly made up of people who wanted to 92 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: take pictures of themselves inside the United States Capital. They 93 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: are trying to argue was worse than the Civil War. 94 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: That's what Karine Jean Pierre, not worse, the worst thing 95 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: that's happened since the Civil War in this country. It's 96 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: such a flagrant absurdity that it boggles the mind that 97 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: anyone with a functional brain could make that argument, much 98 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: less make it as the chief spokesperson for the President 99 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: of the United States in the White House, as Karine 100 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre did. It's unbelievable. Also, frankly not very aware 101 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: of what actually went on in the Civil War, by 102 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: the way, because the Civil War, six hundred thousand people 103 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: ended up giving their lives in that Civil War, and 104 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: if you go back and study it, one of the 105 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: most fascinating legal questions at the time was whether or 106 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: not and I know, Karine Jean Pierre probably hasn't read 107 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: a history book in her life, but whether or not 108 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: secession was legal was a legitimate question. Did you know 109 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: Jefferson Davis was a senator at the time from Mississippi. 110 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: He was hoping that he was going to be arrested 111 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: before he left Washington, DC, because it was his direct 112 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: belief that secession was legal under the United States Constitution 113 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: and that the Supreme Court would rule at the time 114 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: that the Southern States had the right to withdraw from 115 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: the United States. I've told you before, you want to 116 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: get a great gift if you have anyone out there 117 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: that is a history buff. You got a dad or 118 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: mom who's retiring and you are at all interested in 119 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: the Civil War. Shelby Foot's Civil War a narrative three volumes. 120 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: It'll take you a long time to read one of 121 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the best history trilogies that has ever been written period. 122 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: It opens, to the best of my recollection with Jefferson 123 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Davis in our nation's capital in the United States Senate 124 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: Chamber as he is resigning his Senate seat and leaving 125 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: because his home state of Mississippi had seceded. He is 126 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: at that exact moment hoping that he is going to 127 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: be arrested because he wants to find out whether or 128 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: not it is constitutional to secede. It's fascinating question for 129 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: those of us who are lawyers like me and study 130 00:08:51,280 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: legal history. So all of this is really interesting if 131 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: you study history, the nuances, the complexities, the different moving 132 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: parts of history. That's why I majored in history. Is 133 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: an undergrad there's a different world where I really thought 134 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: about going out and getting my PhD in teaching history 135 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. I did my undergrad 136 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: thesis at George Washington University on the Civil War decision 137 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: of Roberty Lee not to embrace total war, in other words, 138 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: not to burn down any Union civilian possessions, northern possessions 139 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: during his invasion of Pennsylvania in eighteen sixty three, that 140 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: culminated in Gettysburg. Remember Sherman embraced total war in his 141 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: March to the Sea after he took Atlanta, and that 142 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: helped to end the war. By attacking the essence of 143 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the Southern community. It's what total war basically started. He 144 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: was gonna make Georgia Howe Well. Robert E. Lee said no, no, no, 145 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: We're not going to do any damage to civilian property. 146 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: In fact, only one northern town was burned during the 147 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: Civil War, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. A lot of people don't know 148 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: that just across the border. May have people listening in 149 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: Chambersburg right now. I still think this is a really 150 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: good book project. So I went and looked at the 151 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: data of how Chambersburg, Pennsylvania voted in eighteen sixty when 152 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln was elected, and then I compared it how 153 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: they voted in eighteen sixty four after that city burned down. 154 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: Because there was a big debate if you attacked civilian cities, 155 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: did that make them more or less likely to support 156 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: continuing the war. Data reflected, at least in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, 157 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: that Robert E. Lee might have been wrong that if 158 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: the Southern troops had actually burned down a lot of 159 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: cities in the North. Abraham Lincoln wouldn't have been reelected 160 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty four. And by the way, for all 161 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: of you out there who here, oh, our democracies in danger, 162 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: and this is the most important election of our lives. 163 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: Do you know? We managed to have an election in 164 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: the middle of the Civil War. And the man that 165 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln was running against, George Brenton McClellan, formerly the 166 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: leader of the Northern Army, was a Democrat. By the way, 167 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: he favored allowing the South basically to have its independence. 168 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: So we had whether or not we would remain a 169 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: united nation on the ballot in eighteen sixty four, and 170 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: also in nineteen forty four, we had whether or not 171 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: we would continue to fight the Nazis on the ballot. 172 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four is important, Twenty twenty is important. Every 173 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: election is important. But we manage to have elections during 174 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: the Civil War and during World War Two. So I 175 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: think maybe we could push a little bit of a 176 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: pause button on our democracy is in danger, and certainly 177 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: the idiocy of Karine Jean Pierre saying January sixth is 178 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War 179 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: is just a flat out lie, and anyone who embraces it, 180 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: frankly is an imbecile who doesn't understand basic American history. 181 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,479 Speaker 1: A big part of me thinks that politics is oftentimes 182 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: just don't do anything stupid, right, Just don't just be normal, JBN, 183 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: Just be normal. I talk to my kids, Hey, just 184 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: be normal. Everybody out there who's trying to date a girl, 185 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: you want advice, just be normal. Don't do stupid stuff right, 186 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: Just be normal. There's no director of common sense anymore 187 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: in American politics, because if there were, Buck, what would 188 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: you have said if the Democrats had come to you 189 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: and they had said, hey, for part of our January 190 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: sixth memorial, we're thinking about having lin Manuel Miranda write 191 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: a special song, and also we're gonna have a candlelit vigil. 192 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say, regardless of what your politics are, you're 193 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna look like complete imbecilic losers if you do that, 194 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: and you're gonna be ridiculed to the high heavens. Common 195 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: sense is so uncommon in Washington that nobody has that 196 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: light bulb go off and thinks, are we gonna look 197 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: incredibly stupid when we do this they're utterly shameless, and 198 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: I would just say as well. I refused to go 199 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: because it was so expensive and I didn't want to 200 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: support it. The lin manuel Miranda Hamilton. So I watched 201 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: it on I think it was on Netflix or on YouTube, 202 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: I can't remember. It fun to put it on, I think, 203 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: and it's and it's terrible. So I'm gonna say, and 204 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: I know you're not like, you're not allowed to say this. 205 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: It is not good, and ever get out of me 206 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm allowed to have whatever opinions I want 207 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: about art and Hamilton. The Broadway play is not good. 208 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: And when I'm talking about a mass hysteria with COVID, 209 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: there was like a mass hysteria about how everyone has 210 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: to like Hamilton. Everybody a lot of concerns. This is 211 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: we're saying how good it was. Hamilton was trash, not worry. 212 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: So I didn't. I didn't dislike Hamilton. But Travis, no, 213 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: the line that you're sharing, do you watch Succession? Did 214 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: you see they hadn't? Like a scene in Succession in 215 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: season three where the guy was like what kind of 216 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: crew is this? And he was like, this is the 217 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: room where you can admit you don't actually like Hamilton, 218 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: which which was like a drop dead funny line from 219 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: season three of Succession. So I went and saw the 220 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: Broadway play. But I will say this, well, you actually 221 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: paid to see the Broadway. I went solo. I went 222 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: solo and set like in the Abraham Lincoln box. I 223 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: wanted to see it. I hadn't seen it before. I 224 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: was in New York. I was by myself doing something 225 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: for pro Hamilton tweets Travis if we got back, I 226 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: don't think. But no. The tweet that I sent afterwards, 227 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: which immediately struck me, was I thought to myself, what 228 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: if they did a musical version of Barack Obama's uh 229 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: presidency and they had white people playing the role of 230 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Michelle or Barack Obama. What would the reaction? I mean, 231 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: obviously that would never They would burn down the Broadway 232 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: stage right, I'm fine whatever race people want to play. 233 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: But that was the funniest thing to me was I 234 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: was watching it. My first thought was what if they 235 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: did a country in Western version of the Barack Obama 236 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Presidency and like Faith Hill played Michelle Obama and Barack 237 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Obama was played by I don't know, Blake Shelton. People 238 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: would look like, can you just imagine like that? The 239 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: idea is so funny, But I'm just that's what stood that. 240 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: I did not hate the Hamilton propaganda. I like the 241 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: King George, the third character. I thought he was pretty funny. 242 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just a lot of a lot 243 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: of bad rapping going on, you know. And I actually 244 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: grew up listening to a fair amount of hip hop 245 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: as a New York A lot of bad rapping, I thought. 246 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: I thought, I don't Hamilton was honestly one of the 247 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: most i'm rash things I've ever seen. Here's what I 248 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: will say. I am almost one anti musical. I hate musicals. 249 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: I I have been. My wife has taken me to 250 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: musicals for years. Every time they sing, I say, nobody 251 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: actually sings in my head. I don't say it actually 252 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: out loud. I like stories, I love movies. I obviously 253 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: love to read. But as soon as people start to sing, 254 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: first of all, I can't pay attention. Maybe I've got 255 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: something like Hamilton, but you don't like the great classics 256 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: of Broadway musicale I hate in general all musicals. Among 257 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: the musical categories I was Hamilton was one of the 258 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: better musicals that I had seen. Welcome back everybody. Obviously 259 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: a lot going on in the political realm right now. 260 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: People are asking questions about what happened in Georgia and 261 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: also who should be leading the Republican Party in a 262 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: variety of roles. Well, right now we have House Majority 263 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: leader and possible next Speaker of the House, Congressman Kevin McCarthy, 264 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: on the line with us, and he also has a 265 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: big announcement which I want to get to you first, 266 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: about the vaccine mandate in the military. Congressman. Appreciate you 267 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: joining us, Sir Wow, thanks for having me.

So what can 269 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: you tell us about the status of the vaccine mandate 270 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: for military service members as there's a lot of back 271 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: and forth right now with the NDAA funding authorization, etc. Yes, 272 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: now we've got good news. Finally. We've watched what this 273 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: mandate has done. We've watched what FAUCI has done to 274 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: our nations FI flopping, trying to control well, they tried 275 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: to control our military two and what has happened. Some 276 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: of our very best have been kicked out. The army 277 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: is down five thousand soldiers short because they can't meet 278 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: their target for recruiting they keep this mandate in there. 279 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: We won the election. I know Republicans lost in a 280 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: lot of places, but in the House we won the majority. 281 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: I went down and I saw the President. Another week, 282 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: the NBA, the National Defense Authoration Act, is up for renewal, 283 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: and you know what happened. I told the President we 284 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't pass it unless we lifted this mandate. I know 285 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: the Secretary Defense got mad at me. We had long 286 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: discussions about this, but we just put the bill forth 287 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: and we're going to be able to lift the mandate 288 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: off this so no longer will the men and women 289 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: be forced to take this vaccine. Well, it's certainly good 290 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: news and a step congresson McCarthy in the right direction. 291 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: Of a couple of questions about it, And first off, 292 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: I do have to ask the Secretary of Defense really 293 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: thinks that the mandate for the vaccine that no one 294 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: even argues stops the spread or is even useful beyond 295 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: a perhaps sixty day window at best it for really 296 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: almost anyone, He still thinks it's a good idea. Is 297 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: he unable to read the studies, the data? Why would 298 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: he think that? I don't know. You know, we have 299 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: a number of doctors who serve in Congress. They send 300 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: them a letter more than a month ago about lifting this, 301 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: giving all the statistics and actually showing that remember about 302 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: the age of where this COVID affects, and remember if 303 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: somebody has had it the immune system, they're actually stronger. 304 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: In the process. They proposed, why don't you have a 305 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: blood test on everywhere? Than you see that none of 306 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: these people have a problem. And you know what we're happening, 307 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: especially for a number of those members for Congress. We're 308 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: getting some of the best and brightest who want to 309 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: go to the academies, and then they're being denied. They're 310 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: being denied because they won't be able to have Actually, 311 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: we're seeing people that we have a pointed that's gone 312 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: through and done all the work to graduate and now 313 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: trying to be denied. We're stomping all that. We're lifting it. 314 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: The Secretary Defense I called them about a month ago 315 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: go and told him we need to lift this. He 316 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: argued with me. Once I got the President on board, 317 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: he called me again trying to tell me no, he 318 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: wanted to keep this, and I said, look, we make 319 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: policy here. I guess you need to talk to the 320 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: President about having him veto the NBA then, because this 321 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: is going to be in it. And look, this is 322 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: just a small thing. We're able to get why the 323 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: Democrats are still in the majority. But this is what's 324 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: coming in January. Third, We're going to be able to 325 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: work on so much more. We're going to be able 326 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: to bring accountability. I just left Jim Jordan now, but 327 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: little think about him as Chairman of Judiciary or Jamie 328 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: coomer an oversight. This is an opportunity for one for 329 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: us to finally secure our border, get an economy that's strong, 330 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: but actually have a military that can do their job 331 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: and stop the wokeism. And I can I ask you, 332 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: Concresson McCarthy, is there anything that you're planning to at 333 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: least try to do. I know that don't have the 334 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Senate and don't have the presidency, but the people who 335 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,479 Speaker 1: have already been separated from the military because of that 336 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate, I believe, even we've been saying on the show, Client, 337 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: I agree vociferously those individuals should be hired back and 338 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: given back pay and no loss of you know, they 339 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: should they should get the rank that they would have 340 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: had had they stayed in currently. This is exactly the 341 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: discussion I had with the President as well, because the 342 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: Secretary Defense kind of fought me. I don't have the 343 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: language I want completely, but this is the uniqueness when 344 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: this portion. Now we start already in January to make 345 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: sure all that happens. I've got a lot of assurance 346 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: about much of that happening. They put a little study 347 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: language in. It is not what I wanted, but this 348 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: is one of the very first things we're working on 349 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: because these people have been denied and think of what 350 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: they were able to do to defend our nation, the 351 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: work that they did, the effort that they put in, 352 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: and some of them on a religious basis was kicked out. 353 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: That is wrong. So we want to reinstate all those 354 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: that want to go back, and they should be able 355 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: to go to the rank that they had the right 356 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: reason to go to. We're speaking to House Majority Leader 357 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Arth and Congressman you know, there's a lot of disappointment, 358 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: and you're speaking to an audience across the country that 359 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: really feels that you did point out that we did 360 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: win the House, fortunately not by what we had hoped 361 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: or should have in my opinion, but we did win 362 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: control the House, which is a step in the right direction. 363 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: But as we're going into what is already now going 364 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: to be a clear presidential election cycle with a lot 365 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: of and also congressional with a lot of interesting dynamics 366 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: at play, there is a dissatisfaction that comes up a 367 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: lot with well, what about the people in charge and 368 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: what about accountability? Names that get talked about Arona McDaniel 369 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: at the RNC. I know there's an ongoing now contestacy 370 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: who will lead the RNC. Mitch McConnell in the Senate, 371 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: and you, as House Majority Leader, you are the likeliest 372 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: still to be Speaker of the House in the next Congress. 373 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: Why are you the right guy? What do you say 374 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: to people who have concerns that you haven't fought enough 375 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: for that, even if it's just a needs to be 376 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: accountability for underperformance for the GOP writ large, What do 377 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: you say to those people? That's the debate we all 378 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: should have. So I say, look at everybody based upon 379 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: their merit. I've been leader for four years, and those 380 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: four years we've had two election cycles, and those two 381 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: election cycles they haven't been good for Republicans. They've lost 382 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: seats in the Senate, they've lost seats and governors, they've 383 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: lost the presidency. But do you know, in those two 384 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: cycles since I've been leader, we've only won seats when 385 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: everybody else lost. We won last time, we won this time. 386 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Do I want to win more? Yeah? Did we have 387 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: higher Republican vote than Democrat did? Yeah? Almost to the 388 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: same measurement when you take those hundred and seven million 389 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: people voted to the same with what it was in 390 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: twenty ten. But we've had redistricting, it's more competitive. Did 391 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: we win five seats one places that the Democrats Biden 392 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: actually won by more than ten points. We beat the 393 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: d triple sea chair that hasn't happened in forty two years. 394 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: Both cycles we won in California, picked up more seats, 395 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: we won an Oregon And look from one perspective, if 396 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: I didn't fight enough, think from this one moment, what 397 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: did you just find for the vaccine lift that we've 398 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: been trying to do for more than two years. We 399 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: just had that happen. So yeah, I think people should 400 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: should be held accountable. I think people should be charged 401 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: on their merit. If you think someone's better that from 402 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: winning the majority, laying out the agenda and the commitment 403 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: to America working with everybody on the floor. Didn't support 404 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: that person, But I believe you have primaries, then you 405 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: have generals. So I went before the entire conference after 406 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: the election, one more than eighty five percent of the 407 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: conference vote. The one thing we cannot have happened here 408 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: is we are the only line of defense. We are 409 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: the only ones that have a majority. And the one 410 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: thing I will tell everybody, they do not hand gavels 411 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: out in small, medium and large. They just hand one gavel. 412 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: We have the same majority today that Nancy Pelosi has 413 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: in the last Congress, and can I ask you what 414 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: are you going We're speaking to House Majority Leader McCarthy 415 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: right now, everybody, what are you going to do with 416 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: that majority? What is top of the agenda? I just 417 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: wanted to give you the floor to make the case 418 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: to everybody. On the very first day, we're going to 419 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: repeal the eighty seven thousand high r S agents. We're 420 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: going to go in and we're going to secure the border. 421 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: How are we going to do that? I've already invited 422 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: the President to go join, but we're going to move 423 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: hearings down to the border to make sure we secure it. 424 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: The next thing you're going to find is do we're 425 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: going to make America energy independent, but not just energy 426 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: independent where we grow our economy, lower our gas price. 427 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: We want to make other countries dependent upon us. We're 428 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: going to bring the supply chain back. I'm going to 429 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: announce tomorrow the creation of the Selectimmittee on China. We're 430 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: going to bring the supply chain back from China to America. 431 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: You're going to see that parents have a say in 432 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: their kids education no longer. We're going to watch what's 433 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: happening that's been going on. We're going to pass the Parents' 434 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Bill of Rights, and most importantly, you're going to find 435 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: a government that's held accountable. We can't send one one 436 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: subpoena out until we get this done. But if you 437 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: watch the other day, I laid out very clearly, if 438 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: you want to secure the border, we got to start 439 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: with the Secretary of Homeland. If my orchist is not 440 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: resigned to find January third, we're going to start hearings 441 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: and investigate what has gone on. There is no way 442 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: he can look Americans in the eye and tell us 443 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: that secure he is aligned to us. And we will 444 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: start that process on the very first day.

We are joined now by Patrick Corelci. 462 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: He's the co host of Red Pilled America. Podcast on 463 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: iHeart It discusses being conservative in Hollywood, California. Yes, they 464 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: do exist. Appreciate you joining us. I'm actually kind of 465 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: fascinated because the Emmys came out yesterday and Buck and 466 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: I talked a lot about television shows. We watch a 467 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: lot of different of different telecasts out there. The most 468 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: popular show in America is Yellowstone. It continues to get 469 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: snubbed by Emmy voters. How much attention is this getting 470 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: in La? Do people in La even realize how popular 471 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: this show is across the nation. Thanks for having me, Clay, Yeah, 472 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: I think they do realize it. I mean it right. 473 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: Yellowstone basically kept Paramount plus the streaming service alive. They 474 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: were actually even considering getting rid of the streaming service 475 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: or you know, transitioning it to another name, and they 476 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: kept that brand alive. So, you know, I think ultimately 477 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: they ran into to some headwind because Sam Elliott from 478 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: eighteen eighty three, which is a prequel to Yellowstone, said 479 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: some things about a movie that had gay cowboys in it, 480 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: and they got slammed that for that. And I think 481 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: just in general, there's a lot of messages within it 482 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: that are pure red state messages that Hollywood and the 483 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: Hollywood peers because that's who votes on the Emmys can't 484 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: stand and so they do not want to give, you know, 485 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: putting the air and wind to their wings. Hey, Patrick, 486 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: it's Buck. Thanks for being well. Us appreciated the wokeness 487 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: that we see in programming where I mean, we know 488 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: that Disney, for example, got a lot of attention recently 489 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: because the I think it was the chief of Disney 490 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: Creative was on this video, this internal video stream talking 491 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: about out the need for more pan sexual and I 492 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: can't even remember all the different designations, but essentially trans 493 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: and and different characters of the LGBTQI A plus categorization 494 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: is this in places like Amazon, Netflix, which are producing, 495 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: Hulu producing so many of the shows now that people 496 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: are watching day and day out, are they you know, 497 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: are they woke from the top down? Are they just 498 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: scared at the twenty five year old employees that are 499 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: going to say that there's not enough pan sexual characters? 500 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: Like where is the push for all this coming from? 501 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: Where is it just just the whole organization top to bottom. 502 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for asking that question, Buck, because you know me 503 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: and my wife Adriana Cortez, she's the co host of 504 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: Red Tiled America with me. We spent about ten years 505 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: in the belly of the Beast in Hollywood. Not just 506 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: working with Hollywood, we worked in Hollywood for about twenty years, 507 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: but in the belly of the beast, meaning that we 508 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: were at this prestigious Hollywood school where all of the 509 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: studio heads, where all the big actors were, and we 510 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: saw this trans movement happening at a long time ago, 511 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: twenty twelve or so. They were kind of, you know, 512 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: accepting of kids that were just tomboys that you know, 513 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: and accepting of them being trans and kind of almost 514 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: pushing for it. It. It almost became an accessory on 515 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: school campus. And so I believe that a lot of 516 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: it is coming from there's this kind of secret club 517 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: that no people don't know about in Hollywood, and it 518 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: happens to be at these private schools that are heavily 519 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: heavily leftist, and they are the ones that are kind 520 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: of setting the pace because all of these people have 521 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: to kind of abide by this kind of thought process 522 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: or they get kicked out of the club. And it's 523 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: a huge area where where Hollywood people network and get jobs. 524 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: We've seen people that were no names at the time, 525 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: end up meeting people within this school and end up 526 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: rising amongst Hollywood. So I think a lot of it 527 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: comes from just kind of these these leftist educational systems 528 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: that these actors in the studio heads have to go through, 529 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: and they realize that this is an elimination filter. This LGBTQUH, 530 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, terminology, the pronouns, these are all elimination filters. 531 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: And if you don't buy into it, I mean a 532 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: perfect example is Macy Gray. You see this. You see 533 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: people that don't believe in this. She obviously does not 534 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: believe that men are women, but she had to basically, 535 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, cowtow because she probably got a call from 536 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: her agent, she probably got a call from her management. 537 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: And it's just bleeds throughout the entire industry and it 538 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: scares people. I think people are more afraid than they 539 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: than they actually believe in these things. Yeah, it's an 540 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: interesting question that certainly is debated a lot in the 541 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: entertainment space. One thing kind of building off of this 542 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: transgender community and the ability of them to fight what 543 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: is and what is not said. Dave Chappelle's been in 544 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: their targets for a while. He got a couple of 545 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: Emmy nominations, however, for his comedy special, which continued to 546 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: take aim at the transgender universe. What was the response 547 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: in Hollywood there to those nominations And what does the 548 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: fact that he got a couple of nominations at all 549 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: say about maybe secret opinions in Hollywood. You're exactly right, 550 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: so that it's voted on by his peers within that category, 551 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: and they were fine with his special and the messages 552 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: that he put out there. But the headlines in the media, 553 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: in the Hollywood and entertainment media, was that he got 554 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: this award nomination despite his transgender or anti trans jokes, 555 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: is how they labeled it. So, I mean, that's another 556 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: filter that so many people in Hollywood have to deal with, 557 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: is are the media critics? Are the entertainment reporters? Are 558 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: the entertainment journalists very far left? We see it in 559 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes. You see a movie that we all love 560 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: on the right get panned by, you know, the the 561 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: critics community. Yet you know, the standard popcorn eating you 562 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: know movie goer is fine with these movies and they 563 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: end up giving them like ninety nine nine percent sometimes. 564 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: So it's just this constant you know Push Patrick Carralci, 565 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: co host of the Red Pilled America podcast on iHeart. 566 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: He's a conservative in Hollywood. Go check out Red Pilled America. Patrick, 567 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us, Man, Thanks for having me.
