1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. Monday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: right now. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend,

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: and as seems to be the case every day, we

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: come to you with so many things happening, so many

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: news stories to tackle, and some very good news of course,

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: continue to come in from the Trump administration, in this

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: case pretending to the continued moves at the border that

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: have changed the whole paradigm. We are in a new

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: era of border security thanks to the Trump administration. We

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: shall discuss that Trump was at the Daytona five hundred.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: We got some soundbites from him there. He was talking

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: about well, he was talking about a lot of things,

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: but we'll give you some of that. We have more

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: from Doge Elon Musk and his team diving in finding things.

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: I think that Elon is for the most part going

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: to be accurate on the first on the first go round,

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 1: meaning when he says something, I think the chances are

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: probably ninety percent plus, meaning they found something that looks

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: bad in the government, in the budgeting and the spending.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: I think the chances they're nine out of ten that

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: it's going to be accurate, and it's a problem. Some

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: of the stuff that they're finding is just wild. I

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: mean that paying social Security benefits to millions of people

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be getting them, including people who are dead,

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: so they definitely should not be getting social Security benefits.

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure of that. We will break down that

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: for you. Also some indications of where things are going

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: on Russia and Ukraine for the Ukraine Wars. You know,

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Trump wants to bring that to a close. But this

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: was what was really tearing it up over the weekend,

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, Clay, I had a mellow weekend here. I

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: was in charge of Ginger. Carrie was with her family,

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: so as long as everything was fine with the dog,

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that was my only responsibility. So I had a little

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: time and I was able to watch the Munich Security

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Conference speech that JD. Vance gave. It's about twenty twenty

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: plus minutes.

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that entire sentence is one of the nerdiest,

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: one of the nerdiest intros of all times. I was

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: super excited to watch the Munich Security speech. But this

41
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 2: thing is good, It is really good.

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. You should honestly, if you have the time,

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: you don't need to really watch it. You can listen.

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: It's twenty minutes long. It comes up if you just

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: you know. We're to do a simple, simple Internet search

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: on it. It's one of the best speeches I've heard

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: a US senior official give on foreign policy in many years,

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: many years. It is an absolute home run of a speech.

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: But it goes to the issue of free speech and

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: free speech as the basis for a free society. Can

51
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: you have a free society without free speech? I would

52
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: say the answer is no, and Europe is very decidedly

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: against free speech. We'll dive into that here momentarily, but

54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: before we start making fun of the Germans for not

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: liking free speech very much, which is certainly the case

56
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: on our own CBS News, not ours, but it's American,

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: so it's kind of our fault, you know. CBS News.

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan, who is now she's Clay. She's been giving

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: us more than the view lately in terms of soundbites

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: that we have fun with on this show. She is

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: not doing herself and her brand in her network any favors.

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to her with Secretary of

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: State Rubio, who he just had on telling she's telling

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Rubio. In the context of the JD

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: Van speech about free speech in Europe, she's saying, but

66
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: free speech led to the Holocaust. Play three.

67
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: Well, he was standing in a country where free speech

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: was weaponized to kentuct a genocide, and he met with

69
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: the head of a political party that has far right

70
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context

71
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: of that was changing the tone of it.

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: And you know that that the.

73
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: Censorship disagree with you specifically about the right.

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: Now I have to disagree with you. Free speech was

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be

77
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities, and

78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: they hated those that they had a list of people

79
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no free

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: only party that governed that country. So that's not an

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: accurate reflection of history.

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. But what was your reaction

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: to it? First?

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: First, well, let me starting a positive. It's such a

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: moronic thing to say that. I think it would have

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: been easy to not respond like Rubio did and just

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 2: annihilate the premise of the question. Everyone out there knows

90
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: this experience where someone says some things so crazy that

91
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: you don't know exactly how to respond immediately.

92
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: It's not even wrong, you know, you're like, that's not

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: even wrong. I don't know what that is.

94
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so the fact that he not only responded

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: but hammered it out of the park is a credit

96
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: to Marco Rubio.

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: And let me just say this because we're going to

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: talk about it more.

99
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: JD Vance and Marco Rubio are elite intellects representing the

100
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: Trump administration on an international stage right now. And I

101
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: think it's been a long time since we have had

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: truly elite intellex and your point on the JD Vance speech,

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, We've had on this program a lot. These

104
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: guys are not only smart, they're functionally smart. They're able

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: to explain why things matter, and sometimes smart people don't

106
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: do that.

107
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: Well. Okay, so that's point one. Let's give credit to

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio.

109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: Point two, Margaret Brennan is and we're gonna play some

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: sixty minutes clips in a little while, CBS News has

111
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: lit itself on fire, and Margaret Brennan is supposed to

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: be the supreme intellect of the CBS News organization. That's

113
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: why they give her this show to host, That's why

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: they allow her to talk to all these newsmakers. She's

115
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: a moron, and I think this is important. You know this, well, Buck,

116
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: but we got a hammer.

117
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: Do you think she's Do you think she's a moron

118
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: or do you think that she's just so indoctrinated that

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: she's incapable of accessing whatever cognition? I mean, you know,

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: she's she's a I don't think she's dumb. I just

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: think that she's completely brainwashed.

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, well that's interesting, I mean dumber, brainwashed. Here's why

123
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: I think dumb. I mean she speaks in Arabic like

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: she actually is. She's got some she's got some skill set,

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: but she has no judgment whatsoever. Okay, that's a good point.

126
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: It reminds me. So I'm gonna go on, dumb, You're

127
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: gonna go on brainwashed. Here's a you know, she's an ideologue.

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: She's like a cult member of the left. That's what

129
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: I see.

130
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: But what she's addressing there Clay when she says free

131
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: speech leads to genocide. Journalists believe this. Now, this is

132
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: a widespread thing, that she's not the only one. This

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: is why it's so important and so powerful. It's not

134
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: just like, oh, Margaret Brennan is out to lunch on

135
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: this stuff. The belief is, if you can say that

136
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: we don't want to legal aliens in this country, it's

137
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: going to lead to genocide. If you can say trans

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: people don't exist, it's going to lead to genocide. That

139
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: is a mandatory left wing belief. Now, yes, and so

140
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: what I think is important. This is why studying history matters,

141
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: And this is why studying history with an open mind matters.

142
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Long before you should have a developed political philosophy, we

143
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: should be teaching kids what history is. And I know

144
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: that a lot of times, I'm a history major. We

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: talk about the fact that both you and I are

146
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: history nerds. We have a profoundly historically illiterate country, and

147
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: buck I think that is in many ways intentional, because

148
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: if you don't understand the history of this country and

149
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: the history of the world at large, you have the

150
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: memory of a goldfish, and you can be convinced of

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: almost anything The reason why I say Margaret Brennan is

152
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: a moron here is an intelligent person would not make

153
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: the argument that Nazi Germany was able to take the

154
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: steps that it did during World War Two, including the Holocaust.

155
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Remember I've spent my time at the World War II

156
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: Museum just recently when I was down in New Orleans

157
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, and credit to everybody who was

158
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: Eagles and Chiefs fans and had their kids with them.

159
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people taking their kids the

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: World War Two museum trying to educate them about what

161
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: happened in World War Two. What you're saying is very

162
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: important that the left now is arguing that free speech

163
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 2: leads to authoritarianism. The problem with that argument is it's

164
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent wrong, and you have to be historically

165
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: illiterate to make that argument. The first thing that authoritarians

166
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: do is burn books, is put people who are dissenters

167
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: in prison. This is all of history if you study

168
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: it at all. So this is where I say Margaret

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: Brennan is a moron, because she has to be historically

170
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: illiterate to not be aware of what the lessons of

171
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: history actually are.

172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Well see, but this is where the indoctrination component. I

173
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: mean the same way that how can any person with

174
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: an IQ over fifty think that a man can become

175
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: a woman based on just reality and the science. But

176
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: yet the entire Democrat party says it. Why how do

177
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: we get to this mass illusion? Oh? Yes, and the

178
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: mass delusion in this context. And this is why it's

179
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: so important. It's not that Margaret Brennan said a dumb thing,

180
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: although that's true. The bigger issue is she said the

181
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: dumb thing, because that is what now Democrats in good

182
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: stand ending with the party are forced to believe. It

183
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: is like a It is like a an article of

184
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: faith on the left now right, So Clay, this is

185
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: why we can't have free speech about vaccines because it

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: will lead to mass death. We can't have free speech

187
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: about the trans community and you know what's going on

188
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: there and is it mental illness or whatever, because it

189
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: will lead to mass suicide. We can't essentially freedom. This

190
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: is one of the oldest arguments in existence. And the

191
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: left has gone completely and Wes they left the Democrats

192
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. The Democrats have gone completely insane with

193
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: this in recent years, which is freedom of thought, freedom

194
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: of speech leads to the worst things in society, and

195
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: to your point, they have it exactly backwards. And this

196
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: is why they're wrong on so many things in such

197
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: big ways. This is not a small issue. This is

198
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: a huge issue there and they're dealing with right now.

199
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: And also this is indicative of the culture of rot

200
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: at CBS News, and this, to me is important to

201
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: point out out. Margaret Brennan doesn't stand on an island

202
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: by herself. If you or I, most of the time,

203
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: Buck get something wrong, it's mostly our faults.

204
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: By which I mean we blew it. We didn't.

205
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: We don't have a huge staff of people feeding us

206
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: information all day long saying hey, this is what you

207
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: need to get out there the way this show happens.

208
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: We have a great staff around us, but it's not

209
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: like they do television, where you have tons of production

210
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: assistants where they would sit down for a long time

211
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: preparing for this interview. And the culture of CBS News

212
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: is so broken, Buck that a question like that could

213
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: be prepared and no one in that room would raise

214
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: their hand and say, wait a minute, guys, are we

215
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: really going to argue with the Secretary of State that

216
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: the reason why the Holocaust happened is because Germany had

217
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: too much free speech during Hitler era. And the reason

218
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: this is so important and this all ties in. It's like,

219
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: why are we talking at CBS.

220
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan, Rubio, Jade Evans, jd Vance gave an incredible speech.

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna play some clips for you here in a minutes.

222
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: You can hear you know, if you wanted to skip,

223
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: we'll give you the highlights that'll give you the essence

224
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: of it. Europe has abandoned freedom of speech entirely. Entirely.

225
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: There is no freedom of speech in Europe. Now. Now

226
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: they'll say yes, there is accept in and they'll list

227
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: all these categories and you'll say those are not. This

228
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: isn't uh, you know, calling for someone, you know, This

229
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: isn't yelling in an attack dog to go bite someone.

230
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: This isn't call inciting violence. This is about things like immigration.

231
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: This is about policy matters Europe, the EU overall has

232
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: abandoned free speech, and the Democrat journalists in this country

233
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: want that here. Yeah, that's why that's such a huge

234
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: They want what Germany has, which is excuse man, did

235
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: you put some me meme online? We're going to arrest

236
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: you now they actually do that, and I think this

237
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: is and they don't see that as the reincarnation of

238
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: a kind of benevolent fascism or something. I mean, that's

239
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: what's going on right now in Europe, and CBS News

240
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party are on board with it. They want

241
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: it here for us too.

242
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: Sixty minutes covered a raid on a man's house for

243
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: a meme.

244
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna get We're gonna We're gonna play this for you.

245
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy to believe the entire CBS News

246
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: department needs to be absolutely wiped clean, Like this is

247
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: a job that I would actually like to have, is

248
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: go in clean house at CBS News. The resources that

249
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: they have Buck, We'll talk about this too, are remarkable,

250
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: and yet they now have found themselves arguing in favor

251
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: of the government arresting people for saying things mean online.

252
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: That's where CBS News has descended to.

253
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: Look.

254
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, we had over the weekend amazing stakes

255
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: inside of the Travis House. We got I told you

256
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna sit back Cobra Kai. We did that on Thursday.

257
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,240

258

Speaker 2: amazing steaks from my friends at Good Ranchers. You don't

259
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: have to go out to the supermarket. This comes straight

00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back in to Clay and Bucks. So we were

288
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: talking about what's going on in uh Well on CBS News.

289
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: It's Margaret Brennan who is providing us with great content

290
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: to respond to on the show, which we appreciate, so

291
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: thank you for that. And then we also have the

292
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: JD Vance speech over in Europe, which is worth watching

293
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: or listening to in its entirety. But I will start

294
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: with this. Here is a I think a very good

295
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: example of what we're talking about. This is cut four

296
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: across Europe right now. You can be locked up and

297
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: we're not just talking about fines here. They will put

298
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you in prison for saying mean things in person, but

299
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: also onlines cut four play it.

300
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 6: And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes

301
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: not so clear what happened to some of the Cold

302
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: Wars winners. I look to Brussels, where EU Commission commissars

303
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 6: warren citizens that they intend to shut down social media

304
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 6: during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what

305
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 6: they've judged to be quote, hateful content. Or to this

306
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 6: very country where police have carried out rays against citizens

307
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 6: suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part of

308
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 6: quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.

309
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 6: I looked to Sweden. We're two weeks ago the government

310
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 6: convicted a Christian activist for participating in Kuran burnings that

311
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 6: resulted in his friends' murder. The judge in his case

312
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 6: chillingly noted Sweden's laws to supposedly protect free expression do

313
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 6: not in fact grant and I'm quoting a free pass

314
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 6: to do or say anything without risking offending the group

315
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 6: that holds that belief.

316
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: Clay, this is what you see in Europe a lot

317
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: of the time. You know what, these laws are enforced

318
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: primarily in order to privilege those who are for open borders,

319
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: to privilege those who are coming refugees from the Muslim

320
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: world who've come to Europe in huge numbers and last

321
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: several decades. If it offends them, if they are offended

322
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: by what you say, if you offend Islam, for example,

323
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: in Europe, you can go to prison. You actually have

324
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: to deal with this. And it's not just some of

325
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: these countries like Germany and others that maybe you think, well,

326
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: we don't have that much in common with them. He

327
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: specifically talks, You've got to hear this story. This is JD.

328
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: Vance in his speech talking to about somebody who was

329
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: arrested for silent prayer. Silent prayer in the vicinity of

330
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: an abortion clinic Play five.

331
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 6: And perhaps most concerningly, I look to our very dear

332
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 6: friends the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience

333
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 6: rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in

334
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 6: particular in the crosshairs.

335
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: A little over two years ago, the.

336
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 6: British government charged Adam Smith Connor, fifty one year old

337
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 6: physiotherapists and an army veteran, with the heinous crime of

338
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 6: standing fifty meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying

339
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 6: for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone,

340
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 6: just silently praying on his own. After British law enforcement

341
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 6: spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for,

342
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 6: Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn

343
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 6: son he and his former girlfriend had.

344
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Aboarded years before. Now, the officers were not moved.

345
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 6: Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer

346
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 6: zones law, which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions that

347
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 6: could influence a person's decision within two hundred meters of

348
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: an abortion facility. He was sentenced to pay thousands of

349
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 6: pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I wish

350
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 6: I could say that this was a fluke, a one off,

351
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: crazy example of a badly written law being enacted against

352
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 6: a single person.

353
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: But no.

354
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 6: This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish

355
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 6: government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within

356
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 6: so called safe access zones, warning them that even private

357
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 6: prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally,

358
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: the government urged readers to any fellow citizens suspected guilty

359
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 6: of thought crime, and Britain and across Europe, free speech

360
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 6: I fear is in retreat.

361
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: Clay, this is thought crime. They're enforcing it. Truly, That's

362
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: not an exaggeration at all. Silent prayer can silent prayer

363
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: not I mean prayer would be bad enough to get

364
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: in trouble for. Silent prayer can get you fined or

365
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: locked up in the United Kingdom. Why because abortion is

366
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: sacred to the left, because abortion is the only religion

367
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: that matters. Let's also play this sixty minutes. Some of

368
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: you might be out there saying, boy, that sounds like that.

369
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: That sounds like an exaggeration. I think this is where

370
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: the Margaret Brennan question of Marco Rubio comes in, because

371
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: remember CBS News on Sunday started off with Margaret Brennan

372
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: saying the Holocaust was caused by free speech, and it

373
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: ended with the news department in Germany covering in a

374
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: positive way the fact that insulting someone online can be

375
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: a crime in Germany. Listen to this and tell me

376
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: this is not chilling. This is sixty minutes in Germany

377
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: covering and discussing thought crimes and insults online and how

378
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: they aren't protected speech.

379
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 7: Listen, is it a crime to insult somebody in public?

380
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and it's a.

381
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 7: Crime to insult them online as well.

382
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Yes, the fine could be even higher if you insult

383
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: someone in the internet. Why because in internet it stays there.

384
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: If we are talking at face to face, you insult me,

385
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: insult you, okay, finish. But if you in the internet,

386
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: if I insilt you or a politician, that.

387
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: Takes around forever.

388
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, the prosecutors explain. German law also prohibits the spread

389
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 7: of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. If somebody

390
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 7: posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts

391
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 7: it or likes it, are they committing a crime?

392
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: In the case of reposting it as a crime as well,

393
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 3: because the reader con't distinguished whether you just invented this

394
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: or just reposted it.

395
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 6: That's the same for us.

396
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 7: The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail

397
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 7: time for repeat offenders.

398
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: They also imagine this, this is Germany. Now, okay, they

399
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: actually do this to people. They'll send the cops to

400
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: your house. Bang bang bang, excuse me, have you been

401
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: retweeting the memes? You're going to prison for the mem retweet?

402
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: They actually do this, this is the law. These people

403
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: are out of their.

404
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: Minds, and if you have a historical background, what is

405
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 2: the analogy that is easy to draw here to me,

406
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: if you want to make an analogy to German history,

407
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: it is the ss yes showing up at the door

408
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: and banging on the door and dragging people out for

409
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: doing things that the government disagrees with. What they are

410
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: trying to argue at CBS News is this is a

411
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: good thing. That segment that we just aired was CBS

412
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: News shining a spotlight in a positive way. Sometimes sixty

413
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: minutes they shine a negative spotlight on someone, right, you

414
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: guys have all seen those stories. Yeah, they are choosing

415
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: to make German thought policing appear to be something that

416
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: should be a positive thing to Americans. And buck they

417
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: talk about in that same I couldn't believe that entire segment.

418
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: They talk about the fact that they seize people's phones

419
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: and don't allow them to have access to their phones,

420
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: and they're kind of laughing about it because they share

421
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 2: memes that the government decides they don't like. And this

422
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: is what Biden tried to do with everything they were

423
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: doing with Facebook. It's directly connected to what we just

424
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: lived during COVID. Just forget about that also for a second,

425
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: like the history and the not you know that. Yeah,

426
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of historical ignoramus is running around.

427
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: This is insane. How can the law determine today just today? Now?

428
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: How can the law reasonably determine if something reaches the

429
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: level of offense that you might have, you might be

430
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: imprisoned for it. I mean, this is completely privileging one

431
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: set of or you know, a certain set of beliefs,

432
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: certain sets of people, individuals. It's it's used to shut

433
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: down people who are we've already seen this. If you're

434
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: critical of Islam, if you're critical of mass migration, if

435
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: you're critical of transgenders, if you're critical of climate change.

436
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: It's all left wing global and stuff, the same stuff

437
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: that they are trying to do here to us. And

438
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: I think that's a critical point. And we got a

439
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: trial run during COVID of this, you and I did.

440
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: When when I got you know, my a YouTube channel

441
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: shut down, destroyed bend. I was trying to hit people

442
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: the word out about how masks don't work and lockdowns

443
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: are insane. Shut down. I had hit pieces. You would

444
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: hit pieces too, hit pieces run on me by fact checkers. Yes,

445
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: and the government was one step away from knock knock, knock.

446
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: How have you all been showing as of climate change memes?

447
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: This is what's going on in the Western world today.

448
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: It's also why traditional liberal and conservative descriptions often don't

449
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: work in the modern era because, and this is important historically,

450
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: it is profoundly illiberal to not allow people to express

451
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: their actual opinions.

452
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: This is not some the entire basis.

453
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: The reason why we have the First Amendment is because

454
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: our founders, God bless them, were intelligent enough to understand

455
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 2: that the most profound freedom we must have is freedom

456
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: from the state regulating what the individual can say. And

457
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: the whole idea of the First Amendment is the marketplace

458
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: of ideas, which is to the extent that I have

459
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: any overarching political belief that I will defend for the

460
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: rest of my life.

461
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: This is it.

462
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: We get better results when you and me and every

463
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: one of you out there listening feels comfortably arguing in

464
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: the public square for exactly what you think, and that

465
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: over time the best arguments will win. That is the

466
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 2: entire basis of our foundational republican form of government. What

467
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: is happening around the world in many places that theoretically

468
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: embrace Western civilization is. And I'm holding it up for

469
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: people right there to be able to see. We suddenly

470
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: have phones in our pocket, and we have the ability

471
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 2: to disseminate information on a level that has never existed before.

472
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: And we are grappling with how to handle that incredible

473
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: power that all of us hold to speak out and

474
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: be seen in a way that has never existed in

475
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: the history of humanity. And what you are seeing is

476
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: many people out there do not believe that we should

477
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: all have the ability to share our opinions. And I

478
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: give credit to JD. Vance and to Marco Rubio for

479
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: going to Europe and holding All he did was hold

480
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: up a mirror to reflect what they are doing, and

481
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: it made them so profoundly uncomfortable that the reverberations of

482
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: those speeches have now crossed back to the Atlantic, where

483
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: across the Atlantic Ocean, where now the Margaret Brennan's of

484
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: the world are outraged by what we had the audacity

485
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: to say, which is everybody should be able to argue

486
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: to the fullest extent of their voice for whatever they

487
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: believe in, that it's the true principle of liberty itself.

488
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: I can't believe.

489
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: That this has become political, because it is a foundational

490
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: principle of the American Democratic Republic. But this is where

491
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: we are, and this is the battle that we must

492
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: win in order for I believe society to fully flourish

493
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: and for freedom to ring around the world. Family reunions

494
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: often have a highlight reel memories that you preserved on

495
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: old media somewhere in the house. Now's the time of year.

496
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: We're through Christmas, we're through New Years, we're through Thanksgiving,

497
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: where everybody kind of gets a breath and you can

498
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: go back and you can start looking at all those

499
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: old memories. I know we're doing this in the Travis

500
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: household right now because we're in the process of starting

501
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: to pack up.

502
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: We're moving into a new house now.

503
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: I don't know when that new house is going to

504
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: be finished, but we are going through a lot of

505
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: our old family memories right now, starting to collate it

506
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: so that it's prepared to move to a new house.

507
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: How many of you out there have been doing that?

508
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: How many of you have got made an elderly relative

509
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: who's been storing all these old memories and you're going

510
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: through and you're thinking, boy, I'd really like to share

511
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: this with the grandkids. I'd really like to preserve this

512
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: for the next generation. Now is the time you got

Speaker 2: app does a great job of that as well, and

551
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: we wanted to make sure that we said, it is

552
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: the fourth anniversary of a date that I know has

553
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: been very hard for many of you. Rush Limbaugh died

554
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: four years ago today, and we wanted to make sure

555
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: that we honored his memory thirty three years of radio excellence,

556
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: the like of which has never existed in American history.

557
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: And there is a longer form clip from Rush that

558
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: is up in our podcast channel for those of you

559
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: who want to hear it. But we did want to

560
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: honor the legacy the memory of the man behind the

561
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: Golden microphone by acknowledging this four year anniversary of his passing.

562
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: This is from January ninth of twenty twenty, Rush talking

563
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: about Trump versus the process oriented people of Washington, DC,

564
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: a conflict that is certainly continuing to play itself out

565
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: in the present moment. Listen to this from five years ago.

566
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 8: The American people have gotten used to the snail's pace

567
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 8: of whatever objectives government or Washington has.

568
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: Trump is not of that world.

569
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 8: Trump is a results oriented guy, and he's up against

570
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 8: a bunch process people. Now, if both parties are engaged

571
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 8: in process as part of a campaign and trying to

572
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 8: win the day on who's the better at process, then

573
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 8: you've got a dull, boring campaign here. But when you've

574
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 8: got somebody demonstrably able to get results up against process people,

575
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 8: the process people don't have a prayer, and that's what

576
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 8: they know.

577
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: That was Rush. In the twenty twenty era. January of

578
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty more Rush Legacy memory up as a part

579
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: of the Clay and buck podcast network. We certainly want

580
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: to acknowledge four years ago his passing and the tremendous

581
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: impact that he had in the world of this arena,

582
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: and that want to reiterate as we have done and

583
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: said for years. I can't believe Bucket's been almost four

584
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: years that you and I have been talking every single

585
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: day with this audience.

586
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: We do not take it for granted.

587
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: We fill immense gratitude and privilege to be able to

588
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: continue to fight many of the battles that Rush fought,

589
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: and we appreciate the fact that so many of you

590
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: have continued to listen to us, and also that younger

591
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: people out there have continued to come into the fray,

592
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: as Rush would have wanted the case to be. In fact,

593
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: I imagine that Rush boy would he be excited about

594
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: how many young people in per articular are taking up

595
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: the American flag and advancing it behind the arguments that

596
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 2: Trump is winning with right now. He would be ecstatic

597
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: to see exactly what is happening. I'm sure he is

598
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: watching down and seeing it. But it is pretty incredible

599
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: to think about the legacy and its growth as Trump

600
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: has taken back in for two point zero buck, Yes.

601
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: And so we are gratified and deeply honored to be

602
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: trying to continue on the fights that Rush engaged in

603
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: for decades. And we've got more up at clanbuck dot

604
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: com and also in the clan Buck podcast feed. We've

605
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: pulled together special kind of just a memory of Rush

606
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: in podcast form on the four year passing, So please

607
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: go check that out in the clan Buck podcast network.

608
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: So all of that certainly wanted to be on top

609
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: of we've been discussing the battle for free speech. I

610
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: wanted to play this cut for you because last night

611
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: was the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live, and I

612
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: wanted to watch it. I thought, hey, you know what,

613
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: They've got a huge, incredible number of celebrities that are

614
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 2: coming out. Maybe they will put together a really well

615
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 2: done show. I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

616
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: I watched for about an hour and a half. I

617
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: turned to my wife. I said, I can't watch any

618
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: more of this. Tell me if anything actually funny happens,

619
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to go and read and be doing prep

620
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 2: for this show. I was reading, I think, catching up

621
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: with the Wall Street Journal in the New York Times

622
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: weekend editions. And I did see, however, in the part

623
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: that I was watching this skit, which was Tom Hanks

624
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: suddenly shows up and he is a Trump supporter. He's

625
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: wearing a Make America Great Again hat, and you need

626
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: to watch the video because it was intentionally insulting to

627
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: Trump voters. But I would play that audio for you

628
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live wonders why it's ratings have collapsed and

629
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: it does not have the cultural cachet that it used to,

630
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: I would submit to you it's because they continue to

631
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 2: alienate over half of the country right now.

632
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Listen, well, thank you, hey. And I was speaking to church.

633
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: Can I say something, If more folks went to church,

634
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be in this mess we're in now, you

635
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: know what? I agree with what you do. I'd like

636
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: to shake your hands, sir. Here we go. No no, no, no,

637
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: oh no, no, it's just it's just a.

638
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 8: Handsh you welcome to black anytime.

639
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, my mind by brother.

640
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 8: Now, maybe I'll start a show for you to come

641
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 8: on and we'll call it what Jeopardy.

642
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: We don't need it, we don't need it, okay, so

643
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: uh funny and mean spirited, Clay. The original version of

644
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: that sketch was actually funny. It aired years ago. I

645
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: don't know exactly when, but they had black Jeopardy was

646
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: the was the you know the title of the sketch.

647
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks was the white guy, and there were a

648
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: couple of other you know, black snl. It was I

649
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: forget the guy who's what's the guy who's the who's

650
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: playing the host there? I forget his name and Keenan Thompson.

651
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson, he's been on the show for like ance

652
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: or more. He've been there forever. So so he was

653
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: on and a couple of other black actors were on.

654
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: And the original one was actually funny because it wasn't

655
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: mean spirited and really what it was, you know, they

656
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: asked some you know those black Jeopardy They asked them

657
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: questions and the Trump supporter answer was something that the

658
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: black community were members of the black community on the

659
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: stage also agreed with. So it was things like they

660
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: would say, you know, what happens if so and so's

661
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: the selection, he goes it doesn't matter because the uniparty

662
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: runs it anyway, And then all the you know, the

663
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: black contestants are like, that's correct, like you know, and

664
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: it actually was meant to be funny, I think for everyone.

665
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: That was one of the more that's what's so disappointing,

666
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: that was one of the more popular recent black recent

667
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: SNL sketches Black Jeopardy and so to take it and

668
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: then just do this kind of nasty, punching down thing

669
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: and make it seem like the guy is clearly supposed

670
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: to be a racist. I mean, that's where you know,

671
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: the espoor is supposed to be a racist. It's hard

672
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: to it's hard to understand the mindset of some of

673
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: these people who are supposed to be comedians. At this point,

674
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: you've basically taken most of the major comedy platforms that

675
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: existed for you, you know, your life and my life.

676
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you know, new Netflix specials and stuff.

677
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: That's a new thing, right, And like Naperghatsy's blown up everywhere.

678
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: He's fantastic, and there's all these new comedians who actually

679
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: are funny. You are doing great stuff, but you look

680
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: at you know, SNL, The Letterman Show, the What's the

681
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, least funny man that

682
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: could have poss bear God forbid bulbar. They've destroyed all

683
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: of these legacy comedy platforms, including SNL. SNL has been

684
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: trashed for the entirety of the Trump era and really

685
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: before that, but certainly last ten years just trash. I'm

686
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: surprised you watch it, but good for you on stomaching

687
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: through some of it or stomaching some of it. And

688
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: it's just a shame because they even when the market

689
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: speaks to them, they don't change, they don't care.

690
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: And it's not only profoundly insulting. And let's also not

691
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: give Tom Hanks a pass here. Tom Hanks is supposed

692
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: to be this avuncular, incredibly likable every man actor, and

693
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 2: yet he feels comfortable ridiculing every Trump supporter as a racist.

694
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: And this is actually the data.

695
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: This was the media doesn't want to tell you by

696
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: at large, certainly not in the legacy media, but this

697
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: is important. The twenty twenty four election was the least

698
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: racially polarized election in America since nineteen sixty four. White, Black, Asian,

699
00:39:55,160 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: Hispanic people have never voted more similarly than we did

700
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. Trump has the least racially polarized

701
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: electoral majority since Lyndon Johnson in nineteen sixty four, pre

702
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: Civil rights era votes. So, for most of you out

703
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: there that are listening to us right now, you have

704
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: never lived in a less racially polarized America than right now.

705
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 2: As it pertains the presidential election.

706
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: This is also when when the data, I think, speaks

707
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: so clearly on what happened versus what the narrative is

708
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: the usage of You've seen this Elon actually a while ago,

709
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: I think, even before he owns Twitter X. I remember

710
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: him commenting on this that the explosion in the usage

711
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: of the terms racism and white supremacy, all this coincided

712
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: with Obama's election. The media, the media, all of a sudden,

713
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: New York Times goes from you using white supremacy like

714
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: once a year, because I've never even met a white supremacist,

715
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: never seen a white supremacist, never met a white supremacist.

716
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean an actual white supremacist. And it goes from

717
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, once a year they'll have some article till

718
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: like every day, I mean an absolute explosion, clearly intentional

719
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: and to really use to manipulate the public and use

720
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: narratives about racism so that there couldn't be opposition to Obama.

721
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: Early on in the Obama administration, criticism of Obama, and

722
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean I remember because I was one of those

723
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: people criticizing Obama was racist, and that was that they

724
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: were happy to just leave it at that. Oh you

725
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: don't like Obama? Hmm, I wonder why you know they

726
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: would play that game a lot Clay. Things have changed now.

727
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: People have seen that those who would use those tactics

728
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: are always arguing in bad faith and actually don't even

729
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: care what the government, what the results are from an administration.

730
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: They just want their team and they want to silence

731
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: the other team, kind of like the German people knocking

732
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: on the doors.

733
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: It's also on an SNL front, incredibly lazy humor. To

734
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 2: your point, the pointing out that people who are look

735
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: different actually have many of the same opinions is actually

736
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 2: somewhat of a unique take, at least from a comedic perspective,

737
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 2: ie that Trump supporters and black voters back in twenty

738
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: fifteen actually overlapped on a lot of opinions, but they

739
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily vote like it. By twenty twenty four, you

740
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: are seeing Hispanic, Black Asian and white voters I recognizing

741
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: that we actually have more in common than we do apart.

742
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: And this is where the real panic is setting in Buck.

743
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: Some of these.

744
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: Trump approval numbers are starting to be eye opening, even

745
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: to me. I saw Buck a plus twelve Trump approval

746
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: numbers coming out recently, and I think that's because much

747
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: of what he's doing is not part is in nature.

748
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: It's a lot of common sense. It's common sense. It's

749
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: it's sane versus insane, as we all off and talk about.

750
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the guiding principles of the show,

751
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: Sanity versus insanity. Yes, in public policy and in the

752
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 2: way that we viewed, you know, things in day to

753
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: day life and Clay, this also goes to the sense

754
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: of what is the opposition. They refuse to course correct,

755
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 2: you would see it if they if they were doing it.

756
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: They refuse to look at what happened in this election

757
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: and say, you know what we need to change message

758
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 2: messaging on because they've gotten so deep on something that's

759
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: kind of like the Margaret Brennan thing. This is what

760
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 2: you're You look at Margaret Brennan Clay with the saying

761
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: versus insane paradigm, and you go, the Nazis weren't pro

762
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: free speech, you.

763
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: Lunatic, right. She looks at it and goes, this is

764
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: I am mouthing the preferred slogan. This is the narrative.

765
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: The narrative is mean words from the disapproved people from

766
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the disapproved right causes genocide. That's all that that's she

767
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: just those are the orders. She's orders to say that

768
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: kind of crack, Which is why I think it's a

769
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: great question. Is she brainwashed or a moron? I don't

770
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: think there's any Maybe she could be a brainwashed moron.

771
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: I guess she could be both. But we'll take some

772
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: of your calls react to that. I just wanted to

773
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: share that clip with you because I do think it's

774
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: going viral. And last night was the fiftieth anniversary of SNL,

775
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: and I was hoping they would maybe be a little

776
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: bit funny. Instead, they decided to tell you, hey, if

777
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: you voted for Trump, you're a racist and you hate

778
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: black people's. I mean, you know, Margaret Brennan, I mean

779
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: to go to this point, she's she went to UVA,

780
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: which for somebody not from Virginia is even more impressive.

781
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: Great school, no matter what. But I mean, if you

782
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: get into UVA from outside of I know this because

783
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: a lot of New Yorkers wanted to go there, it's

784
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: incredibly It's like getting the U Michigan out of state,

785
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: incredibly hard. She was a full Bright scholar, she speaks

786
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: fluent Arabic, and yeah, I mean, I don't think she's dumb.

787
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: I just think she's just too deep into the machine

788
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: to see what the heck's really going on.

789
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: Remember she was one of the moderators of one of

790
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: the debates, too right, This is a I mean, this

791
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: is where on a bigger, larger front, Republicans have to

792
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: be smarter about who they allowed to moderate going. So

793
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 2: you see, for me, one of the compets, one of

794
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: the complicated, and I know, we got to take a

795
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: pause here, But someone like Rachel Maddow also not dumb.

796
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: Is she actually Brent wash or she just pretending for

797
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: the paycheck? That's what that's I can't determine that with

798
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: some of these libs in the media at this point,

799
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: who are not dumb, but who say dumb things. If

800
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: every American took some time to relearn our constitution, imagine

801
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: how more informed our opinions on government and.

802
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: Politics would be.

803
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: I think that's particularly the case if we just talked

804
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: about Margaret Brennan and her discussion surrounding free speech and

805
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: how the Holocaust actually happened Hillsdale College. I wish we

806
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: could mandate every American watch some of these videos that

807
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 2: they have put together instructional courses for free available at

808

809
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 2: which opinion should be built, and if you do not

810
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: have a deep knowledge of American and world history, your

811
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: ability to make arguments about society today, I think is

812
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,920

Speaker 1: the cutting room floor. But we've got we've got a

841
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of stuff having conversations about you know, uh,

842
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: you know the DM slide. You know, if you're a

843
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: single guy. If you're a single guy, I don't think

844
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: this is a probably know you slide in the dms.

845
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, some prominent people recently are prominent individual recently

846
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: was in the news for a little DM slide that

847
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: got the well it went beyond the DM slide. But

848
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: the point is, well, Elon Musk has got another child,

849
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: so uh. And it originally occurred because he jumped into

850
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: the direct messages. For those of you who don't know,

851
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: you can send messages on social media and everybody has like, hey,

852
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: I think you're cool, let's talk. You know, it's it's

853
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: not a problem.

854
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 2: How many direct messages when you were single in New

855
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: York City do you think you sent? Oh, I've pleaded

856
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: the fifth on that, like only, I mean, for the record,

857
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: very few, But I plead the fifth on even trying

858
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 2: to give any kind of an actual number here for

859
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 2: people out there who don't know what percentage of couples like,

860
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: let's take away being in the same school or being

861
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: at the same work right, who meets online these days,

862
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: as you can say, make it's like half at least half,

863
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 2: or couples it's more than half because because also people

864
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: are generally you know a lot of people sort of

865
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: say them at one way when they met another.

866
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: It's sixty to seventy sixty seventy percent. Now of people

867
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: are are meeting their partner and then you know, eventually

868
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: even their spouse through some form of online you know,

869
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: people use Instagram as a dating site something. Did you

870
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: meet your wife online? I sent her a message on LinkedIn,

871
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: I mean sorry not not LinkedIn? Not LinkedIn? Are sorry? Sorry? No no, no, no, no,

872
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: we I mean we were aware of each other from

873
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: fox and she thought she at one point was following

874
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: me on Instagram, and then realized I had a girlfriend

875
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: at that time, so that it was hands off. And

876
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: then I was single again, and then I found out

877
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: she was single, and then I reached out.

878
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: Ali, as can Ali pull up to the mic. Here,

879
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: you're married to Gerard, the most masculine man on the planet,

880
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: but you slid into his DMS after you met him.

881
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: Disclosure, I certainly did no shame. You met him at

882
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: a party.

883
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 4: We initially met at a.

884
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 2: Party and were you following each other, or you sought

885
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: him out and just went straight DM.

886
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: We both sought each other out online and then I

887
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: just you sent the message to him first, I did,

888
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: what did you say?

889
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 6: What's up to?

890
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 2: Basically just you up? Ali just went straight you up?

891
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 2: And now she's married.

892
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 4: Uh no, I I asked him what he was doing

893
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 4: and he said right now at this moment.

894
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: I said, oh sure, and he said coming to meet you.

895
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 7: So then we met him.

896
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 2: Wow, and now you're married and happily ever after. I

897
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: see in all of this social media universe.

898
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: I was. I was married before technics would have had

899
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: to be on like uh you know, Christian Mingle or

900
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: something back in the back in your days, you would

901
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: have had to use a dial up like AOL Internet,

902
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: you know. Clay would be like, you've got mail, Like, hey, we.

903
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: Actually met each other face to face and and we

904
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 2: actually had conversations. You guys are just throwing hell Mary's

905
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: out there, got like twenty different messages flying out.

906
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,439
Speaker 1: No idea a sportsman, sportsman, you only need to catch

907
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: one Hail Mary to win the super Bowl, my friend.

908
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 4: That's true.

909
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: It's true.

910
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: Well so that but that that is the backdrop to

911
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: the story about Elon having more kids everything.

912
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Here's my take on Elon, and I may be in

913
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: the minority on this.

914
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 2: Elon is the most brilliant, successful person in all of

915
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 2: America right now. In my opinion, I think Elon should

916
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: have as many kids as Elon can take care of

917
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 2: because I want his genes creating the next generation of genius. Now,

918
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: other people out there don't have my same take. I

919
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: am super pro Elon as well in terms of his

920
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no question he's the most important CEO,

921
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: most visionary CEO. What he did for free speech and

922
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: and politics in this country by buying it.

923
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's amazing. He's amazing, all due respect and

924
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: all that. But every kid wants a dad, and if

925
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: you're not around. And I also, I think it was

926
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: a I think it was like my parish priests or

927
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: this to my mom a long time ago, and she

928
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: passed along to me. You know, if you want to

929
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: if you want to love the child, love the mother.

930
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: For the husbands out there, it's a very important, very

931
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: important maxim as well to love the child, love the mother.

932
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: So I think you want to be around. I think

933
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: that everyone wants a dad. I grew up around a

934
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: lot of very privileged as an understatement kids in Manhattan. Uh,

935
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: and the ones who had broken families or separated families

936
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, Clay, I'm telling you, they would have they

937
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: would have rather had fewer private jet trips and more

938
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: time with dad. Well, the data also reflects.

939
00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:00,280
Speaker 2: Boys in particular are the most broken by dad as

940
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 2: not being in the house. In other words, younger girls,

941
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 2: I think, because they see their mom, who tends to

942
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: have custody as the role model, do not suffer as

943
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: much as young boys do from not having a man

944
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,479
Speaker 2: in the household. And honestly, we had the conversation about

945
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 2: this last week because I went and talked about why

946
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: young men are breaking in the direction of Republicans the

947
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 2: University of Chicago. I do think, Buck, a big aspect

948
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: of young men struggling in America today is and this

949
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 2: is me getting on my me, climbing on my you know,

950
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: prespicire my pedestal. A lot of dads are failing at dadding,

951
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 2: and a lot of grandpas.

952
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Are trying to pick up. The first rule of being

953
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: a dad is being present. That's right, And I know,

954
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: I know other thing's not perfect, And I know, people

955
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: have problems or whatever, but you know, yeah.

956
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 2: It's so I'm contradicting myself a bit here because I

957
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 2: do think the dad in the household matters tremendous amount,

958
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: particularly for young boys. I would say, you're looking at

959
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 2: it through all this the macro survival of the human

960
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: species over the next dollars of years, which.

961
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: Is my concern.

962
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 2: By the way, this is why I tell my boys, hey,

963
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: get married and have as many kids as you can,

964
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 2: because the population is collapsing. This is my thing where

965
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 2: everybody's like, oh, the seas are gonna rise like four inches,

966
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: and you know, you're not going to be able to

967
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 2: go to Newark and have as much fun in Newark

968
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 2: as you used to. And I'm like, do you guys

969
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 2: not realize the entire global population is collapsing and South

970
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,760
Speaker 2: Korea is not going to exist in one hundred years,

971
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: and Italy's not going to exist, and Japan's not going

972
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 2: to exist. This is my calamity buy in, like, we

973
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 2: got to have more kids, and ultimately kids are in

974
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: endorsements and investments in the betterment of the future, and

975
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: it ultimately to me, reflects an international depression that so

976
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: many young people out there are afraid to bring new

977
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 2: life into the world. This is what I worry about.

978
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that on the right we've

979
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 1: fallen a little bit into this. Yes, it is true,

980
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: judge not lest you be judged. It's not about judging

981
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: any one individual or I think you should be able

982
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: to have conversations where you can say, look, this is

983
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: what this is what the aspiration is, right. I mean,

984
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: as Christians, you aspire to to, you know, to live

985
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: in the in the in the way of Jesus Christ himself.

986
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 1: You're never going to get there, right, but you still

987
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: there's something you aspire. You're trying, you're trying to hold

988
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: yourself up to an ideal. And I think when you're

989
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: talking about the parenting stuff and you know, Elon and

990
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: all the kids, again, Elon's amazing in so many ways.

991
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: We have a lot of respect for that. But I

992
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: do think that it's important that people when they can

993
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, you want a mom and a dad. Yeah,

994
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: and you can't be a mom and a dad when

995
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: you have eight different moms and fifteen kids or thirteen

996
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: kids or whatever. It is the way that you otherwise

997
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: could now with someone like Eleon musk. You're talking about

998
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,959
Speaker 1: also a person who is maybe going to like help

999
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: save the human species. I mean, you know, there's other

1000
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: I understand there's these other factors. So it's not to

1001
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: criticize Elon. And you know, no one's perfect, and I

1002
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: get all of that, but I do think it's okay

1003
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: to still say out loud, we really do want a

1004
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: mom and a dad at home taking care of it,

1005
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, taking. I don't mean in terms of like

1006
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: chores and that labored differentiation. But kids need a mom

1007
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: and a dead kids need dead, you know.

1008
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of talking left and living right,

1009
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 2: and once you see it, you can't unsee it. We've

1010
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 2: talked about it some on this program. A lot of

1011
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 2: people out there who claim that they are ardent leftists,

1012
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 2: do you know what they do in their own life.

1013
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 2: They're married, they have kids inside of a wedlock, They

1014
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 2: raise those kids, put them in private school, oftentimes live

1015
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: in gated communities where their families are protected. And meanwhile

1016
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: they tell you, hey, left wing ideals are to be

1017
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: aspired to, but in their own life they talk left

1018
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 2: and live right, and that is true. Go look at

1019
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: the successful Democrat politicians out there. Most of them live

1020
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: behind the wall. Most of them try to be married

1021
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 2: and then raise their kids. They put their kids in

1022
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 2: private school. It's just kind of fascinating. Was a great

1023
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: line about I give credit to him. Was it Michael

1024
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: Moore back in the day. I think it was Michael

1025
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: Moore who said, you look at the Democrats and their

1026
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: constituency on the floor, but then when you look at

1027
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 2: the suites, it's all a lot of rich white people.

1028
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, like they got all the diversity down on

1029
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: the floor. Look at the delegates, Look how representative of

1030
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: the world they are. And then you start to rise

1031
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 2: and you look at like the super expensive suites that

1032
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 2: surround the convention. It's a bunch of super rich white

1033
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 2: liberals who are pulling the string for so much of

1034
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: what's going on, and they're living differently than the values

1035
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 2: with which they would otherwise associate themselves very often.

1036
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: So, yes, you can talk about the genius of an

1037
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: individual while also discussing how no one is perfect and

1038
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: there are some things that maybe should be done a

1039
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit differently, or you know, aspirationally,

1040
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: we could all want something. We weren't going to talk

1041
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: about the border, but we started talking about dating, and

1042
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: that's a wide range. We'll tell you the border data

1043
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: at least.

1044
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: We'll probably talk about the border quite a bit tomorrow,

1045
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 2: but we'll give you some of that data in the

1046
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 2: next segment. So also kind of set the table for

1047
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: Tuesdays an issue.

1048
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like it's like happy at the end

1049
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: of the show here too. I mean, at least for

1050
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: those of us who believe in sovereignty and a secure border.

1051
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: So that's nice. It's not like we're not going to

1052
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: depress you with the border data. The border dat is

1053
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,959
Speaker 1: very good, so that's coming up here in a second. Look,

1054
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: I've got quite a collection of firearms, but I've got
