1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Wednesday edition 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: We have much to discuss. 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: We have some. 6 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: Breaking news in. 7 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case from the last twenty four 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: hours that we will we'll update you with. I know 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: the nation is watching this closely. We have Pam Bondi 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: testifying up on Capitol Hill. A lot of the time 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: there's this kind of testimony going on, and people who 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: aren't following politics for their job, you know, they got 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: better things to do. There's actually some really important data 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: that Bondi addresses here which is indicative I think, well 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: a couple things. One, the Trump administration is doing an 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: incredible job on law enforcement, and that has ramifications not 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: just for right now, but also for the future. The 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: idea that the federal government can't have a very active 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: frontline role in bringing down national crime stats, I think 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: that has been annihilated, which is a very good thing. 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, it usually falls upon state and local to 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: deal with especially violent crime issues, and the federal government 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: under Democrats is usually finding ways to let people out 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: of prison early and do things like that. Well, we 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: have some very interesting data. The big headline is that 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: it's the lowest murder rate last year in according to Pambondi, 27 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five years, which is a nationwide 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. That's obviously something that we should all know, 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: and I'm sure there'll be people that challenge those numbers. 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: We've also got Trump speaking to Larry Cudlow and getting 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: into the latest on the economy with him. This Trump 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: economy is and fuego and you know what, Clay, I'll 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: actually start with us on that one. I think when 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at the latest numbers, if this was a 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: weak economy, if this was something that they could attack, 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: you'd see this all over the place. But the big 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: headline of the Wall Street Journal is that the US 38 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: has had its strongest job growth since late twenty twenty four, 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand jobs added in January, defying estimates. 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: Like I said, that's the Wall Street Journal headline. And 41 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: another big headline that I think, or rather an implied headline, 42 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: I will imply it the tariffs. We can go back 43 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: almost exactly a year. I forget when really the market 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: hit that twenty percent drop, and there was that sky 45 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: is falling. 46 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 2: Moment, and it was all blamed on the tariffs. 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say this other than to 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: just say, it looks like, as we suggested, by the 49 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: way on this program, I think you could go back 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: and pull some cuts. 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: Everyone. Oh my gosh, all. 52 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: The economists, all the data nerds were coming out, this 53 00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: is terrible. 54 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: The tariffs a terrible clay. 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: Looks like Trump is right and everybody else was wrong, 56 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: or at least everybody who said that he was wrong 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: was wrong. Yeah. 58 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: Look, the argument was that back in April, one of 59 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: the things that we may have gotten most right in 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: the history of the show. 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: The argument. You go back and you can look at 62 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: the transcripts. 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: We came on and we said, there's one thing I 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: feel confident in. It's that Trump is not going to 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: tank the economy. And we said back in April when 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: everybody lost their mind, hey, now is a good time 67 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: to go buy stocks. And if you don't have money 68 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: on the sideline that happens, the best thing you could 69 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: do is just hold on to the stocks that you have. 70 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: And as we sit talking to you today, we basically 71 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: are at all time highs, and in fact, the overall 72 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: stock market is up forty percent since April of last year, 73 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: one of the greatest runs that you could have possibly 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: found if you had bought at that point in time. Now, 75 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: the other thing that stands out to me about these 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: numbers that came out buck unemployment rate falls back down 77 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: to four point three percent, but significantly, and very few 78 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: people are talking about this. We are actually adding a 79 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: lot of jobs while removing a lot of people off 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: government employment roles. So the private economy is on fire. 81 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: I believe added one hundred and seventy thousand jobs because 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: we knocked out and continue to dial back the number 83 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: of government employees. So we're taking people off of the 84 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: government payroll. I believe it's two hundred and fifty thousand 85 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: guys in New York. You can check that and make 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: sure I'm right. I think it's two hundred and fifty thousand. 87 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 3: Federal government employees are no longer on the payroll since 88 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: Trump came into office, which is an extraordinary dial back 89 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: in the number of people that are publicly employed as 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: federal government employees. Simultaneously, we are also seeing the jobs 91 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: that are being created are being created for Americans. That is, 92 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: if you go back and look at a lot of 93 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: the numbers from Joe Biden's time in office, a lot 94 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: of people who were not American citizens were getting jobs 95 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: in the United States, and American citizens were not as 96 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: fortunate in the Joe Biden era as many of those 97 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: job jobs that were created, we're going to non citizens. 98 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: Now if you go look at the numbers. In addition 99 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 3: to the jobs being created, Americans are getting them. They're 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: coming from the private industry as opposed to the bloating 101 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: of the federal government. And all of that is moving 102 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: in a very very great job. And in fact, Cut 103 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: fourteen buck I undercut it. They continue to increase the 104 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: number of people that are not employed by our federal government. 105 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: Your tax dollars, my tax dollars are going to pay 106 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: far fewer people. Here's Cut fourteen has it saying there's 107 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: actually three hundred and fifty thousand fewer people on the 108 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: federal dole, taxpayer funded fluor force participation. 109 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: The number percentage of Americans that are looking for a 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: job or have a job actually went to its highest 111 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: level since two. 112 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: Thousand and one. 113 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: So actually people are coming back off the sidelines into 114 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: the labor market because they see the high wage growth 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: all the factory starts and so on, and so that's 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 4: the thing one. 117 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: You know. 118 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 4: Thing two is that because we've been reducing government workers, 119 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 4: federal government workers so much, about three hundred and sixty 120 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: thousand this year, that the job's numbers actually kind of 121 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 4: understated how wonderful the economy is doing, because the government 122 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 4: worker employment has been a drag, and to put it 123 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 4: in perspective that we've got the lowest government worker number 124 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 4: since nineteen sixty six and the lowest share of government 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: workers in the labor force in all of history. 126 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: So, I mean, these are pretty positive things, buck, And 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: the stock market is responding in a very positive way 128 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: with overall the surgery number of people who are employed, 129 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: tax revenues are up, the overall federal deficit is coming 130 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 3: down substantially. Buck, even though a lot of people don't 131 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: want to talk about it, were really firing on all 132 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 3: cylinders in a pretty fantastic way. 133 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: Well, you certainly would know, because it would be the 134 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: lead story on every anti Trump Democrat journalist website and 135 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: news source out there. If the economy was in some 136 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: kind of a free fall and some sort of a 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: tanking mode. It's gotten to the point where to try 138 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: to argue that Biden had better. And when I say Biden, 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: I understand he wasn't really in charge. The Biden regime, 140 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: which is what we called it all along the advisors 141 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: in and around the White House during the Biden administration 142 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: who were signing off on and pushing you know, they 143 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: had their own Council of Economic Advisors, they had their 144 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: own Treasury Secretary, etc. 145 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: Etc. Trump is just better at. 146 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: This than all of them. And Trump's team is better 147 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: at this than all of them. He's better at freeing 148 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: up the American economy, making a clear path for wealth creation. 149 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: I mean essentially letting the business of the American people 150 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: be business once again, not demonizing the successful, not focusing 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: on Marxist redistributive principles, not focused on DEI nonsense, and 152 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: training little kids and all these things that were hallmarks 153 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: of the Biden years. Never mind all the COVID madness 154 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: they pushed too. Clay, this is just better. I know 155 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: that's a simple way of saying it, but it is 156 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: just a better American economy than what you had under 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: four years of Biden. And it is yes, hearkening back 158 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: to the four years of Trump's first term, which were 159 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: a booming economy, and the only thing that put a 160 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: little bit of you know, of a wrench into in 161 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: the situation was the WOOFLU. 162 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: So that's what happened. 163 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, it doesn't get talked about enough. February 164 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty, for those of us who remember, was 165 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: the greatest economy that we have ever seen in the 166 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: history of the United States. By the way, we may 167 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: be about to eclipse that here in twenty twenty six, 168 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: because I think the numbers are starting to reflect it. 169 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: But if you go back and look at February of 170 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: twenty twenty, until COVID suddenly exploded on the scene, in 171 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 3: that month of February twenty twenty, Trump was cruising to reelection. 172 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 3: The economy was going to be in November, the greatest 173 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: economy that we had ever seen. The only reason they 174 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: were able to drag Joe Biden across the finish line 175 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 3: was because of COVID. And remember, and this is important, 176 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: I think Biden got the nomination before COVID happened. In retrospect, 177 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: the fact that he was seventy eight years old or whatever, 178 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: the heck he was when he was running and they 179 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: were able to hide him in the basement. It looked 180 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: like some sort of grand plan that they had put together. 181 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: But remember he won and swept to basically the nomination 182 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: and then they just put a the basement for six months. 183 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: If they had actually I mean, I think this is 184 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: one hundred percent true, and I bet you would sign 185 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: off on it, Buck, If they had actually had to 186 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 3: run a campaign, Biden's decrepitude would have revealed itself and 187 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: Trump would have won an unbelievable landslide in twenty twenty 188 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: because they wouldn't have been able to hide the fact 189 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: that he was mentally and physically unable to do the job, 190 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: but for the fact they could put him in the basement, 191 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: right the responses to all the questions that he needed 192 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: to give and. 193 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: Keep him hidden. And really, this though, I think, goes 194 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: to a general set of THESS, not quite ninety five THESS, 195 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: but a general set of theses that we have on 196 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: this show, which is what's the better approach to crime 197 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: and criminal justice to make people safer, the Trump Maga 198 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: Republican approach or the Democrat left wing. You know, I 199 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: think the data and we'll get into some of this 200 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: clay with Pambondi. It's irrefutable. It turns out that backing 201 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: law enforcement and enforcing the law and locking up criminals 202 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: makes me people say, for make society safe for overall. 203 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: What's the better approach to the border, if you actually 204 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: want security, enforcing immigration law or just letting everybody in 205 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: and pretending they're asylum seekers. I think that experiment has 206 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: also been run. And what's the better approach to the economy? 207 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Taxing the you know, the absolute last drop out of 208 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: everybody that you possibly can, and the government spending as 209 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: wastefully as it can and doing as much redistribution as 210 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: it can, or encouraging innovation, wealth creation, and Americans doing 211 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: what Americans do. I just at this point, people just 212 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: refuse to accept that their team has lost and there 213 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: wrong on the other side, all on all of the 214 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: major issues we're not even just talking about, like the 215 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: gender sports issue, which of course they've lost on as well. 216 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: They're wrong, They're truly wrong. They're wrong on crime, they're 217 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: wrong in the economy, they're wrong. 218 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: On the border. So everyone should feel good right now 219 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: listen to this show, because we've been right all along. 220 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what else to say. We're crushing them 221 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: in reality. 222 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: No, we're right, and we've been proven right, and the 223 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: data continues to prove us right. And I hope you 224 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: have have kept your four oh one k's invested in 225 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 3: the stock market, and if you have, you're setting at 226 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: all time highs. By the way, a couple of other 227 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: stories that we will hit. Pam Bondi is testifying about 228 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: the Epstein files on Capitol Hill. We'll see if there's 229 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: anything more that's gonna come out of that.

Buck and I couldn't believe it 241 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 3: when I was reading this editorial. More people use pot 242 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: now marijuana on a daily basis than drink alcohol. Were 243 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: you as stunned by that as I was like to 244 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: see that that is the prevalence. 245 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I knew it would be much closer than anyone would 246 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: have thought five or even ten years you know, five 247 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: or ten years ago, I wasn't clear that it would 248 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: cross over. But I have a bunch of theories in this, 249 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: and I have strong opinions on this, and we're going 250 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: to I think I can't speak for you on this. 251 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: I think some of my ideas on weed are going 252 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: to upset some people, including people that I like on 253 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: ninety or ninety five percent of issues. But weed is 254 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: a terrible and stupid and bad thing, and we were 255 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: lied to. And this is one of the few times 256 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: where I will say I actually, I will admit to 257 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: being bamboozled on weed. Isn't really addictive, it's not psychologically damaging. 258 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: It's actually very useful in a whole range of medical things. 259 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: That's really not you know that that can be true inspecific. 260 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: So if you have glaucoma and you're gonna tell us, 261 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: oh my God, it's the only thing that worked for me. Okay, 262 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: that's not why people are smoking weed. Okay, that's that's 263 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: an outlier case. Actually, that's not what's going on. Twenty 264 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: million people aren't smoking weed twenty one days or more 265 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: a month because of their glaucoma. All right, So we 266 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: have to deal in what the reality is here, and Clay, 267 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: it's a scourge. It's a scourge on people, and I'm 268 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: here to tell them that I'm here to get off 269 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: my lawn with the weed.

I give credit to the 273 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: New York Times for saying we got it wrong. You 274 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: are saying you got it wrong. 275 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: I'll admit I did not think it was going to 276 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 3: be as destructive as it has been to overall society, 277 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: and frankly, I think a lot of that has to do. 278 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: We'll get into this with the incredible strength of weed today. 279 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: Some of our people are going to be mad at 280 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: us on this.

Guess what, You're 339 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: just spending too much money. You're giving them more money 340 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: than you should. Puretalk service is on the same towers 341 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: and network, same five G service nationwide that you would expect, 342 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: but instead of paying eighty ninety one hundred bucks or more, 343 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: you're paying a fraction of the cost. You're ready for this, 344 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a month, twenty five dollars a month 345 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: with Puretalk gives you unlimited talk, texts, and lots of data. 346 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Now compare that to your cell phone bill currently. Puretalk 347 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: is an American wireless company with a US based customer 348 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: service team who can help you make the switch in 349 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: as little as ten minutes. It says Puretalk right at 350 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: the top of my phone, my friends, this is my 351 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: cell phone company on my primary phone. Has been four years. 352 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: They get it done with the best possible price. Dial 353 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: pound two fifty. Say the keywords Clay and Buck. You'll 354 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: get fifty percent off your first month. Again, dial pound 355 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: two five zero say Clay and Buck to make the 356 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: switch to pure Talk. 357 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 3: Okay, let's dive into something that is a little bit 358 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: fun but also yet another thing we were right about. 359 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: So the data has come out Buck on the super 360 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: Bowl and I said, bad Bunny, bad choice for the 361 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 3: super Bowl, and people are still attacking me over this. 362 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 3: I said, hey, you know what, the Super Bowl halftime 363 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: show should be in Spanish? Should not be in Spanish, 364 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 3: should be in English. And I said, I just did 365 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 3: Piers Morgan show right before this show started, so it's 366 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: gonna be up in a little bit. But I told 367 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 3: Pierce Morgan, because Piers just like, well, what would you 368 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 3: say if Pavaratti were the halftime performer. 369 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: I said, that would be a poor choice, Pierce. I 370 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: don't even come on. Even even if it is the 371 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: greatest opera singer of all time, I don't think it 372 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: would be a smart decision for the NFL to have 373 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: an opera singer or anyone have or. 374 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: Doing the national anthem. That would be cool, like he's. 375 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: Doing it in English if it's a national anthem. I 376 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: don't think it would be smart to do the national 377 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: anthem in Italian. So, although it would be maybe interesting 378 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: to hear, the data has come out Buck Bad Bunny 379 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: lost ten million viewers, the most people that have ever 380 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 3: turned off or left the Super Bowl for a halftime 381 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 3: show in. 382 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: The history of the Super Bowl. Okay, and so. 383 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 3: I think this is a clear sign turning point. USA 384 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 3: obviously got whatever it was six million live streamers on 385 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 3: their YouTube channel, and other people just decided to bail. 386 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: I've said this before. It always has fascinated me. Almost always, 387 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl viewership peaks at halftime. So for those 388 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: of you out there that say, well, I don't know 389 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: why you care, I don't usually the biggest possible audience 390 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: that is watching the Super Bowl watches at halftime. There 391 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: are lots of people, as many of you know, because 392 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 3: this is what frustrates me about the Super Bowl as 393 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 3: a sports fan. Tons of people come rolling into Super 394 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 3: Bowl parties that have never watched an NFL game all year, 395 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: and they talk loudly and they distract me from being 396 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 3: able to actually watch the game because I watch games 397 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: all year. People like Buck, they come in and they're 398 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: just chirping in the background. 399 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: I knew they're just I knew this was going to 400 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: turn into a little clay jiu jitsu move to put 401 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: me in the kimura, because I don't actually watch churp 402 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: it in the background about all the other things going 403 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: on in their life, and I'm like, I'm trying to 404 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: hear what they're saying. I'm trying to watch the game. 405 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: So but it is the case that there were the 406 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: most people to ever turn off the Super Bowl in 407 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: the history of the Super Bowl to ask you a 408 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: real question, like, because I actually what I've gone with 409 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: you to college football games, I try not to ask 410 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: a million questions, and you're actually very very kind to 411 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: explain the basics, I have some idea what the heck 412 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: is going on? Do you ever have to just be like, hey, guys, 413 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: I need radio silence, Like I can't answer. I can't 414 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: answer all of your questions while I'm watching if you're 415 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: in sort of a group set, like how do you 416 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: handle that? 417 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: Because I would assume everyone's like. 418 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: Clay, what do you think about that wide receiver choice, Claik, 419 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: what do you think about the assistant coach who's doing 420 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: the blob but he plug? 421 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 3: You are going to appreciate this, and I might be 422 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: the only person on the planet who does this. I 423 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 3: want to hear what the coaches say in the halftime interview, 424 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: and I also want to hear in a postgame interview 425 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 3: what the coaches and players say. So the game ends 426 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: and there's bedlam all around, and regularly, my poor kids, regularly, 427 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, Pike down over there, I'm trying to 428 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: hear what he's saying in the postgame interview or the 429 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 3: halftime interview, because occasionally you get information, you know, players 430 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: injured and the coach is jogging off, and you can 431 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: try to deduce from the interview. I don't know what 432 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 3: percentage of people out there are like me and want 433 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 3: to actually hear the interview. Now, the other thing buck 434 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: that I will say is and I don't know how 435 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: many people are like me in this way. When my 436 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: team is playing poorly and it's a team that I 437 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: actually care about, I mute the broadcast. My wife has 438 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 3: been making fun of me for this for years. I 439 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 3: don't want to hear announcers basically cheering on the other 440 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 3: team and talking about how amazing they look. I can 441 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 3: watch a game without announcers and tell every single thing 442 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 3: I need to know, by and large about the game, 443 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 3: with the exception of sometimes, like I said, an interview 444 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 3: with somebody on the field. So I will often sit 445 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: in complete silence watching games. During During while I'm sitting 446 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 3: in front of my television, my wife will walk in. 447 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: She'll be like, what, You're just sitting in a room. 448 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: It's completely silent watching a game, Like, yeah, the game's 449 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 3: not going well. I don't need to hear the announcers, 450 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: you know, pile on about how crappy my team's playing. 451 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 3: So I would say, in general, I want the information, 452 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: if it's useful to be to be to get from 453 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 3: the from the interviews. But yeah, like this this this idea, 454 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 3: I do think it's a people are gonna say, well, 455 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: why does this matter? What is the lesson that should 456 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 3: be drawn from it? I think it's that the NFL 457 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 3: should be trying to reach the broadest possible audience. And 458 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: some people are gonna roll their eyes about this, But 459 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: I do think American cultural experiences that are shared matter. 460 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 3: Having something that everybody is experiencing together as one is 461 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 3: something that is should be aspirational. 462 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: We have relatively few of those, and making selections on 463 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: a halftime show that alienates the vast majority of the 464 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: viewership because they have no idea what's being said or 465 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: what's being done is a poor decision by the NFL, 466 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: and I think they should reconsider going forward and try 467 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: to get people very basically who speak English to perform 468 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: at the halftime show. And I just have to say, 469 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: there's also been this. I like that he bad bunny. 470 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 2: His name is? 471 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: His last name is Ocasio, right, I have no idea 472 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: what his actual name is. Is he related to aoc 473 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: Are they brother and sister? 474 00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: Pretty? 475 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: I was wondering if there's some relation there, But I 476 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that there was this. Spanish is 477 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: now the language of anti colonialism. That is truly hilarious. 478 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: Oh that is funny. 479 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 2: That is a hilarious take that you are seeing online 480 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: now from some people. 481 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: Like well, of course, like this is Spanish is the 482 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: language like against against oppression of uh and the oppression 483 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: of native people. 484 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: So it's like so I had to do it. 485 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: I had to take it to Twitter on this one, 486 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: or to ask to be like guys, nobody showed up 487 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: with more brutal and by the way, Spain. I love 488 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: my time in Spain. I think Spain is a beautiful 489 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: country and amazing place. I think it probably saved Western civilization. 490 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: Battle of Lepanto a whole bit. You know, the tours 491 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: with Charles Martel, there's a whole lot. I'm I'm very 492 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: pro Spain. Just to be clear, I think what Spain 493 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: did for the world is a great Catholic country for 494 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of years and it did amazing things that all said. 495 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: The Spanish showed up of the New World and they 496 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: were like, we're gonna take all your stuff, We're gonna 497 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: kill a lot of you, and anybody who doesn't do 498 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: what we say, we're definitely killing you and burning down 499 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: your whole village. It wasn't like the Puritans arriving in 500 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: Massachusetts trading corn with the natives at Thanksgiving or whatever 501 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: it was. 502 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: Let me take I hadn't seen this that people are 503 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: saying that Spanish is the anti language. 504 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: Oh it's very Oh yeah, Spanish is now the language 505 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: of the oppressed or something. I'm like, well, you got 506 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: to learn a little bit about how we got here, everybody. So, yes, 507 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: it turns out if you learn your history. I mean, 508 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: the Spanish, there's a reason they're called the conquistadors. They 509 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: weren't showing up to like just settle. They realized that 510 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: this and this is how they funded the Spanish Empire 511 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: by just taking all of the gold, and there was 512 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: tremendous goal, particularly with the Incas, but also with the Aztecs. 513 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: They just took all their stuff. 514 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: They had treasure galleons going back to Spain to pay 515 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: for the Spanish Empire and its wars in Europe, and 516 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: they were absolutely brutal. 517 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: Like this is It's just so funny to me that 518 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: people are thinking this. 519 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: And then people are like, yeah, but what about the 520 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: British and their role in the trans Atlantic slave trade. 521 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, no, that's true. The British for a 522 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: couple hundred years, or the second worst when it came 523 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: to the trans Atlantic slave trade. Anyone, anyone at homewn 524 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: know who they act By far, by far, the biggest 525 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: perpetrator of the Transatlantic slave trade the Portuguese. And where 526 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: did they take all of the slaves? Mostly Brazil, the 527 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: Caribbean and parts of South America, but mostly Brazil by 528 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: far number one. 529 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 2: So I just think it's interesting. Spain Portugal. 530 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: Now we think of them as like, you know, like 531 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: the motherland for Latin America and everything else. But man, 532 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: they were the they were the colonial powers, par excelons, 533 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: and they were rough. 534 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: They were playing for keeps back in the day. 535 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: It's also funny because anyone that actually talks about reparations, 536 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: the idea is that the United States should be the 537 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: sole payer of reparations, when to your point, Buck, Europe 538 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: is actually responsible overwhelmingly for all of slavery in Africa, 539 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 3: and of course people only focus on slaves from Africa, right, 540 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 3: despite the fact that for thousands of the Barbary pirate 541 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: slaves trade in white Christians, which went on millions of 542 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 3: people and went on for hundreds of years, went as 543 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 3: far the North. African slavers went as far as Iceland 544 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: and Ireland, picking off white people to sell into slavery. 545 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 3: And this isn't this isn't taught in schools, and people 546 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: need to tell them this. 547 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: They'll be like, that's not true. Google it actually better Crocket, 548 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: you'll see all that. 549 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 3: It's actually, I think symptomatic of one of the great 550 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: major issues that we have in this country, which is historical, 551 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: the literacy and the inability to understand our country, but 552 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: basically the whole landscape of the world historically everything I mean, 553 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: this is really I mean, this is intentional. The entire 554 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 3: purpose of much of left wing cultural argument is to 555 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: They made it explicit with the sixteen nineteen project root 556 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: all of American history and indeed all of Western civilization 557 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 3: to slavery, which began in sixteen nineteen, which is why 558 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 3: they tried to with Nicole Hanna Jones New York Times 559 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: try to argue, Hey, the real focus of America is 560 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 3: not seventeen seventy six when we got independence, it's actually 561 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: sixteen nineteen. 562 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: Because America is. 563 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: Founded in the original sin of slavery, and therefore nothing 564 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 3: that occurred in America is legitimate. We can burn down 565 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution. All of the great 566 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: heroes of American life, they are illegitimate, the Constitution, all 567 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 3: of the great heroes of American life, they are illegitimate. 568 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: Because the true founding of America happened in sixteen nineteen, 569 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 3: very starting in the early eighteen hundred, so even before 570 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 3: here in America and then in America we fought. 571 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: A huge, massive civil war with how many casualties play 572 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: In total. 573 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 3: Six hundred thousand people died in a time when the 574 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: population of the United States was I think only like 575 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 3: fifteen million or some twenty million, like a huge percentage 576 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: of people died. 577 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: The British I'm a global anti slavery force. 578 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: America said we can't allow this anymore here, and then 579 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: we had a very you know, very bloody civil war 580 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: to end that pro to end that practice. 581 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: What are the Portuguese in the Spanish?
