00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Clay and I together down here in Miami, Florida. Thank

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: you for a w iod for hosting us down here.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: A lot of stories we are going to get you

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: today in the news, including an arrest made in San

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Francisco and the murder of Bob Lee, who's the founder

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: of cash app. Turns out he knew the individual who

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: stabbed him. He's a fellow tech employee or a tech person.

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: So we'll discuss this, and also just the overall conversation

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: around what's happening in San fran and liberal cities like

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: it all over the country. In Nashville, Representative Justin Pearson

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: is both of the representatives who were kicked out of

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee legislature have been voted back in. So turns out,

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, democracy is not over all the stuff that

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: the Democrats were saying over the weekend, but we know

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: that they were exaggerating. That was the whole point. Interesting

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: story up on Fox News now, a former Obama White

20
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: House stenographer has blown the whistle on Biden kickbacks scheme

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: after Hunter joined Barizma. So we'll discuss just in general.

22
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Also the whole Biden influenced peddling, The whole thing is

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: so unseemly, so obviously illegal, So we'll get into some

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: of that obviously. Also want to take your calls eight

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: hundred two two two eight eight two. Oh. The feed

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: is projecting recession, So now they're basically telling you, look,

27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: we've held this thing back as long as we can,

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: but the recession is coming. That seems to be increasingly consensus,

29
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: even for people who don't want to say that out loud.

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that, but I mean, first I gotta

31
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: tell you all the we were on this morning. We

32
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: joined our our new friend Patrick Bett David on his

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: podcast as a very big podcast, so Clay and I

34
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: but joined him on that. A lot of a lot

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: of fun. But it is in the Fort Lauderdale area,

36
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: And oh my gosh, last night Clay tried to get

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: to Fort Lauderdale. I was I was in Miami overnight

38
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Clay was trying to fly in. Clay, have you seen this?

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: There are are photos and video right now of the

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: entirety of the Fort Airport is underwater. You have over

41
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: twenty five inches of water dumped on that city in

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, the heaviest single day rainfall ever for

43
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: the city of Fort Lauderdale. Up on Drudge, they're calling

44
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: it a one in a thousand year event. It was

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: crazy last night on the highways. People were abandoning their cars.

46
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: What was going on? Man, So putting this into context

47
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: right now. So we're down in South Florida. This yesterday

48
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: in Fort Lauderdale is the most amount of rain in

49
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: a day any place in Florida has ever gotten ten

50
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: more inches than Miami got one hundred years ago. Basically

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Key West got so twenty five point nine inches of

52
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: rain fell in twenty four hours, and I was scheduled

53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: buck I took off in Nashville right after our show yesterday,

54
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: and I was scheduled to land in Fort Lauderdale to

55
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: do this interview. We got a couple of other interviews

56
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: to do. To hang out down here with you for

57
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: a few days. We got rerouted to Sarah Soda, so

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: I had to get a rental car in Sarah Soda.

59
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what I was driving into. I

60
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: got into Fort Lauderdale last night around ten thirty to

61
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: try to get to my hotel. I spent and I'm

62
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: not I've never seen anything like this as a driver.

63
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I spent the next three and a half hours in

64
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: my car. There were roads flooded in every direction. At

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: one point I was sitting in the car for an

66
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: hour with flooded roads in both directions. I thought maybe

67
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: I was going to run out of gas. I thought

68
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: that I was gonna have to sleep in the car.

69
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: Every hotel in the vestay shut down the airport. And

70
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: when I say shut down, I mean it was so

71
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: flooded you can still see today. The runways literally have

72
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: some of them. It looks like feet of water on them.

73
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: And it was like a third world country in all

74
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: of these different all these different hotel lobbies. Post midnight,

75
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: people just splayed out everywhere, cars abandoned everywhere as wide

76
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: as you can see that got caught in the immediate

77
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: flash flood. I mean they're showing right now the footage

78
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: live of Fort Lauderdale Airport, and the airport looks like

79
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: a lake. I mean, I've never seen anything like this

80
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: at an actual airport. I don't think they're going to

81
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: open today, probably to be able to land any planes.

82
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: And I got eventually I found a hotel and got

83
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: in around two am. I've never seen anything like it.

84
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I lived through the Nashville flood. Some of you may

85
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: remember that it was a monstrous, huge, five hundred year event,

86
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: but I wasn't driving around. There were virtually no cops.

87
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I imagine they were having to respond to try to

88
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: save people's lives. And everywhere you turned there were different

89
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: not just standing water, like water that if you drove

90
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: your car, it would cover the top of your car

91
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: on major streets, even downtown Fort Lauderdale. And as we're

92
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: talking to you, I mean, I imagine this is turning

93
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: into a pretty big national story. But there are people

94
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: doing live reports from Fort Lauderdale Airport and again it

95
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: looks like the runways look like lakes. So if you

96
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: have a trip to South Florida scheduled, I don't even

97
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna be able to fly out on Saturday.

98
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: The good news is, guys, I've got really comfortable bunk

99
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: beds down here. And I told Clay, because I'm a

100
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: hospitable guy, he can have top bunk, so he's good.

101
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: If I'm not kidding. At two am, I had no

102
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: idea where I was going. I actually pulled up your

103
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: address and I was like, maybe I should just drive

104
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: to Buck's Place at two thirty in the morning and

105
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: show up like outdoors because I didn't I mean, I

106
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: had a rental car. I didn't know where to go.

107
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to have to abandon the

108
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: rental car on the side of the road. The gas

109
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: stations I should mention all ran out of gas. So

110
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought I was legitimately run out of gas. Phone

111
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: was dying. I didn't have the right charger for the

112
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: for the adapter in the car. I mean, this was

113
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was crazy. So anyway, I got

114
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: to a hotel, got in bed around you know, three

115
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: thirty or so, and I felt fortunate to find a

116
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: hotel anywhere. We already did a two hour podcast YouTube

117
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: live show, and hopefully we'll do a good job here.

118
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: But I know we got people listening to us all

119
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: over South Florida. Certainly are who are dealing with the

120
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: impact of this, and a lot of people probably who

121
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: were traveling to or from South Florida as well. This

122
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: is an all time record amount of rainfall to fall

123
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida a place Buck where it's

124
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: worth mentioning they're kind of used to thunderstorms, kind of

125
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: used to lots of rainfall, never seen anything like this.

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: This felt like a slow moving and then a sudden

127
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: like tropical storm or hurricane that nobody was expecting, just

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: because it's been crazy windy for days, tons of water

129
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: being dumped over the course of days. But then this

130
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: flash flood that hit for Lauderdale. I mean, no one's looked,

131
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: no one's ever seen anything like it because it's never

132
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: really happened before in this way. So obviously we're just

133
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: hoping everybody out there, if you're listening to us, you know,

134
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: stay safe. You can always go back to the car,

135
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: you can always deal with problems later. Just make sure

136
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: your physical safety is the first thing that you are

137
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: are attending to. And by the way Buck putting it

138
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: in context, how unexpected this was. I mean I took

139
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: off in Nashville at like three thirty Central time, so

140
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: they clearly weren't anticipating this because while we're in the air,

141
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: they said, hey, we're having to reroute. I think Tampa

142
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: got blown up. Sarah Soda in terms of all the

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: different things. But you know, even two hours before landing,

144
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: they weren't expecting the airport to get shut down like this.

145
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: So we're we're still thinking about that and obviously going

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: to be keeping an eye on it, you know, Clay,

147
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: we got a lot of things to get into today.

148
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: One one story that's obviously a big headline getting a

149
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise from a lot of folks, is

150
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: this stabbing, this murder of Bob Lee and San Francisco Ver.

151
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: This is the tech executive who had left San Francisco

152
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: because it had been it was just too disordered and

153
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: too much anarchy, which which we often talk about. And

154
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: then he got stabbed early in the morning by somebody

155
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: who was pulling along a rolling bag. It turns out

156
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: that he knew the suspect, and so this is he

157
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: was somebody that he had been driving around with. They

158
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: got into a they got into some kind of an

159
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: argument and he killed him. And I think it's one

160
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: of these moments where the mayor London breed has come out.

161
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Do you see this, and she said, you know, everyone

162
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: should wait for the facts to come out. It's like,

163
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: all right, well, you still had a murder on the

164
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: streets of your city at two o'clock in the morning.

165
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a crazy vagrant this time. That stuff

166
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: is happening constantly in San Francisco anyway. It's amazing to

167
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: me that there are people who, because they think they

168
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: get political advantage from it, they always want to minimize

169
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: what we all know is happening, and they look for

170
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: it and they say, see, it's not really look at this.

171
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: This doesn't disprove anything about the reality of what's happening

172
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: in San Francisco or any major city right now. That's

173
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: why we have data, because data is supposed to give

174
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: you the aggregate numbers and sense of what's really happening,

175
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: which is why I just come back to and I

176
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: think it's so significant. The big issue that San Francisco

177
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: has is there's right now a thirty percent vacancy rate

178
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: in their commercial real estate, that is, office buildings are

179
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: thirty percent empty. And I bring this home because I

180
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: think it really kind of epitomizes it well. Right now

181
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: in Detroit twelve percent, So everybody thinks about what a

182
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: struggling downtown corridor Detroit is, and they've made a lot

183
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: of progress and Detroit is better than it has been historically,

184
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: but San Francisco's almost triple the vacancy rate of right

185
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: now Detroit, and the crime we know is skyrocketing, and

186
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: it's only going to get worse because as those buildings

187
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: are empty, the jobs that are designed to fill surrounding

188
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the people who would otherwise be in those buildings also vanished.

189
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: And Buck, you know, this has become an issue in

190
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: New York City. Where they're right now is substantial amounts

191
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: of New York City that on a Monday or a Tuesday,

192
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: they feel like it's Sunday right where people are still

193
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: there's just not the usual foot traffic that there would be,

194
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: and there's just a major seismic shift I think going on,

195
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and these left wing cities have still not recognized the

196
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: extent to which they're gonna have to change and just compete.

197
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: We were talking about that this morning. You know, when

198
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: you grew up as a New York City guy, you

199
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: were like, I would not choose to live anywhere else

200
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: in the world. That was a pride of place that

201
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: New York City had, and so many other people would say,

202
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: the first chance I get, I'm moving to New York City.

203
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: It's the best place to live. I don't think that

204
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: same vibe exists in the national consciousness anymore. Well, we

205
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: talked to Patrick about it on a show early this morning,

206
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: the same idea about New York that something like thirty

207
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: percent of the residents are expressing a desire to leave.

208
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: And this is where you would think that that New

209
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: York City and other large cities that are losing population

210
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: right now, that are all It's not just that they

211
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: have Democrats in charge. They are Democrat enclaves. Right when

212
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: you're talking eighty ninety percent of an urban area is

213
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: one political party. You have one party rule. It's not

214
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: like Republican ideas are being taken into account in New

215
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: York City. I mean, yeah, you know Staten Island, you

216
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: got a city councilman or two. You know, my friend

217
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: Joe Borelli's out there. I mean, there's people that are

218
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: not completely nuts, who are in the infrastrar in the

219
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: political scene in some way. But overall, when you get

220
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: to that level of I would even say over seventy

221
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: percent in a city, there is no corrective mechanism because

222
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: you just keep passing power back between Democrats and no

223
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: one's ever really held accountable because the whole city just

224
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: decides they're going to keep voting for the same thing.

225
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: And talked about this man. I found what happened in

226
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: Chicago and the choice to go with the choice not

227
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: to elect Vallis and Johnson right, Brandon Johnson one and Johnson.

228
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: I found that just it was sad. It made me

229
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: sad for the city of Chicago and for the violence

230
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: that is going to occur because of bad policies at

231
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a higher level than would have if they had made

232
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: a better decision. I mean, Democrats are now voting for

233
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: some of this stuff that we're seeing. That's the problem.

234
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: It's one thing when you haven't suffered the consequences. There

235
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: are places where Democrats are saying, well, we're still gonna

236
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: do this, even if it means all of the following

237
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: bad things happen. That's not a good place to be,

238
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: no doubt. And it's gonna have to evidently get worse

239
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: before they consider making a change and going with a

240
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: Giuliani like direction. In so many of these cities, whether

241
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: it's Chicago, whether it's San Francisco, Atlanta, New York City, Philadelphia,

242
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: which is in the grips of great despair related to crime,

243
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: setting all time highs. We live in a digital age,

244
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: and with that comes the risk of a data breach.

245
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: A cyber thief hacks into a company's computer steals their

246
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: customer data. When that happens, you're at risk. This happens

247
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: to companies all the time. They're slow to admit it,

248
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: and by the time they do, your data may well

249
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: be in the wrong hands. The best protection comes from LifeLock.

Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines. Welcome back in Clay

264
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. We're down in South Florida where

265
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: hundred year flood basically has overwhelmed much of Fort Lauderdale.

266
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Not as impactful in Miami because it was one of

267
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: these like crazy kind of flash storms that settled itself

268
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: basically over Fort Lauderdale. Buck was down the road, had

269
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: almost no impact on him in a in a day

270
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: to day basis. I did see Buck, and I'm glad

271
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: that things are that things are going well. That Riley

272
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Gaines interview that we did got a lot of pick

273
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: up and has bounced around in ricochet across the entire

274
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Internet space and certainly in social media and beyond. And

275
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that as I was sitting in

276
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the flooded traffic, and I had a lot of time

277
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: to kind of sit around just contemplate things. I do

278
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: wonder how much of this sort of left wing insanity

279
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: is cutting through? Does that make sense? Like, do you

280
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: think obviously our audience knows about this crazy transagenda that's

281
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: requiring women to compete against men who would decide to

282
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: identify as women. Do you think if you're sitting in

283
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Michigan right now, or Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, you're one of

284
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: those Midwestern swing voters, do you think a story like

285
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: that is penetrating into their social circles or do you

286
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: think it's mostly still isolated in universes like the people

287
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: that would be listening to us. I don't think it

288
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: really moves the needle. Unfortunately for a lot of people

289
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: that would be in the persuadable category, not because they

290
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,479
Speaker 1: don't care, but because for the people that the transgender

291
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: ideology that are favorable to it, it's very important to them.

292
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: To a lot of other people, unfortunately, I think they

293
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: don't see this as the left is completely insane. I

294
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: have to do anything I can to stop them. They

295
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: think I don't want to deal with this. You know,

296
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: this is craziness, But I'm focused on the economy, the border,

297
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, other things that are affecting their day to

298
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: day lives. But I think that is starting to change.

299
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: I think that has been the case. I think when

300
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: you see these massive campaigns by whether it's bud Light

301
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: or Nike or you know, Disney to push it's really

302
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: not we call it transgender you know ideology. It's really

303
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: just gender ideology in general. There's notion that there's all

304
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: these different you know, sexualities and genders and you can

305
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: change and it's multifascinated and all this stuff. I think

306
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: there's a recognition that this is lunacy and that this

307
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: is actually taking the country into a very very dangerous

308
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: place in a lot of ways as a society, a

309
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: very very sad place as a society. No, I don't.

00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt at all. So I'm

311
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,160

Speaker 1: and now there's a banking crisis to worry about. Where

314
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,360

00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth,

330
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: welcome back to clay An Buck eight hundred two eight

331
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: two to eight eight two on those phone lines. We

332
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: have this update for you on the Tennessee House, Tennessee

333
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: Legislative Body, which has now brought back after their very

334
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: short lived expulsion from that from that institution. Two Democrats

335
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: who were who were kicked out. We have Justin Jones

336
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: and Justin Right. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. Yes, I

337
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: have this right, So they they are now back. And

338
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: I think it's so interesting, Clay because for me, the

339
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: fact that there was such a mobilization of the media

340
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: on the oh my gosh, this is so racist, and

341
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: this was a threat to our democracy. They started to

342
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: say all the crazy stuff. Kamala Harris went, didn't she

343
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: go to two? She was there, Friday went to Nashville.

344
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: All over this. They tried to make this into a

345
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: big win for them. This was never a meaning. The

346
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: expulsion was never really that big of a deal. It

347
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: just was showing, look, we have rules, and you shouldn't

348
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: violate the rules. We already talked about how the third

349
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: person who was sort of on trial, the woman white woman,

350
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: should have been expelled too. That was a miss. But

351
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: it's classic classic lib maneuver to beg for your job

352
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: as she did, and then turn around and just stab

353
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the people in the back who gave her her wish

354
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: to not expel her. Right, oh, you didn't expel me

355
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: because your racist. It was really grotesque, but that's what

356
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: she did. And now though I just can't, I can't

357
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: move past the fact that the Biden administration, based on

358
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: the actions of Biden and his vice president, clearly think

359
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: that the temporary several day expulsion of those two aallmakers

360
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and the Tennessee State Legislative body, state House.

361
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: They clearly think of this Biden White House, that is

362
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: a more important issue than actually going and trying to

363
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: comfort and bring together the Nashville community after a mass

364
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: shooting by a transgender terrorist, like why the first the

365
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: transgittor terrorist shooting does not require an immediate White House

366
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: visitor response or even within the last couple of weeks,

367
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: But the expulsion of these two guys for a couple

368
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: of days does. Think about that for a second, No,

369
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: and that's an important part of this story. The only

370
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: reason this story emerged at all was because these guys

371
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: took over the main vestibule, the debate area of the

372
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: Tennessee Legislature with bullhorns while leading a protest associated with

373
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee gun laws. And the protest for Tennessee gun laws

374
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: was based on the six people who died in the

375
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: religious elementary school, three nine year olds and three adults

376
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: who worked there, and their deaths have completely vanished. It

377
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: would be an interesting story back to compare the amount

378
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: of words that Democrats have spent on these two guys

379
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: being expelled for effectively a day or two. I don't

380
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: believe the Nashville guy even missed a vote. And maybe

381
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: we need to pull the audio because I heard from

382
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot of different people who couldn't stop laughing about

383
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: how ridiculous the audio was between the guy from Nashville

384
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: who went to Bowden College in Maine, an elite sixty

385
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars plus a year liberal arts private school, and

386
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: how he sounded when he campaigned for the student body

387
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: presidentship there compared to when he spoke at a church

388
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and what that flex in terms of the

389
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: dishonesty of politicians in general. I will say this though,

390
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: when you look at the political calculus, these guys were

391
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: gone for a couple of days, and they were turned

392
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: into martyrs. The Tennessee Republican Party got chastised as being

393
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: got more than chastise, got harangued, attacked for days for

394
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: being racist because they decided not to vote out the

395
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: white woman, who, as you pointed out, begged not to

396
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: be expelled. The moment she avoided expulsion by one vote.

397
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: Buck one vote and she would have also been kicked out,

398
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: she ran outside and said, oh, why did I not

399
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: get expelled? It probably has something to do with my race,

400
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: which was such a strategic blunder. Having said all that,

401
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: these guys will raise a ton of money this or

402
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: I think this will be able to be like what happened.

403
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes in Texas, they'll be all this talk. The left

404
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: wing media New York and LA are going to come

405
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: in and they're gonna pour money into tee. It's worth

406
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: mentioning Governor Bill Lee won by over thirty points in Tennessee.

407
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: Tennessee is a red state that is becoming redder in

408
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: the wake of COVID. But one of these guys is

409
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: going to be running for a congress office, congressional office

410
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: or statewide election at some point probably, and they're gonna

411
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: get smoked. But they will get laudatory coverage now in

412
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: the left wing media because they've been turnsto And the

413
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: story now is not even about the shooter. It's about

414
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: these three, these two who were expelled and the woman

415
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: who avoided it. They are now the central part of

416
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: the attention, and not the fact that this was a

417
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: trans shooter or buck that the protesters were chanting. And

418
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't believe this didn't get more attention even on

419
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: the right. Protesters in the capitol were chanting seven victims. Yes,

420
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: they were counting the trans killer as a victim of

421
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: this violent act. You have seen in the last what

422
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: is it, seventeen days as we've talked about, you have

423
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: seen the apparatus on full display the way that they

424
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: initially did. The we can't you can't know what happened here.

425
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the information, you haven't seen the dates. Right,

426
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: let's actually work through this for a second. What happened

427
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: in the immediate aftermath of the Nashville trans terrorist mass murder.

428
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: What happened they say, meaning their voices in the media

429
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party. Okay, they say, well, you're just

430
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: jumping to conclusions you don't know, even things that are

431
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: very obvious. But I guess technically haven't been verified by

432
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: a signed confession. You can't say that you don't know.

433
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: But then they also started introducing right away, well, you know,

434
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: the trans person may have been responding to anti trans genocide.

435
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: And then they started running these news articles. I remember

436
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: because it was appalling about basically sympathy articles with the

437
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: mass murder, who was shooting small children in this school.

438
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: They were trying to make it seem like, well, you know,

439
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: it was very difficult, and the mental health issues and

440
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: the whole time, if you say, hold on a second,

441
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: look what is the motive here? Let's go to what

442
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: actually happened. We're going to talk about, you know, the

443
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: trans policies and different states that so did this person

444
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: because that's a terrorist, then, clear and simple, So can

445
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: we say that the terrorists? Oh no, you're not allowed

446
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: to say, because you don't have the manifesto, And they

447
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: delay and they delay, and then the issue becomes as

448
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: you point out these members of the Tennessee State House

449
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: and the racism against them for what they did was

450
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: clearly against the rules, and they were punished for it.

451
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: That's what happened. But all of a sudden, you notice

452
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: who is even asking for the manifesto anymore? Who's even

453
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: paying attention if you tried to have basically base right,

454
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: if you tried to have a discussion debate now about

455
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: hold on a second, are we radicalizing people who are

456
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: already mentally unstable in society at a percentage that is

457
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: concerning very small percentage overall? Of course, this is hey,

458
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: I was there for all the talks about at the

459
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: CIA and then in the media debating this stuff about

460
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: radicalization of jihadists, and the left did the same thing.

461
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: By the way, the left would say you can't know

462
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: the motive, and you said, well, hold on, I think

463
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: there's I think there's already pretty clear evidence, and there's

464
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: also and they would delay and delay. Then the narrative

465
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: would be islamophobia. This is what they used to do.

466
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: And after you had about four or five days of oh,

467
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: it's islamophobia to even talk about it because you can't

468
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: know because they would suppress the information, then all of

469
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: a sudden it disappears. This is the playbook. They've run

470
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: it on that, and they've run it with the Nashville

471
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: shooter again. And I just think it's noteworthy for everybody

472
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: that these are the kinds of people that you're dealing with.

473
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: This is the level of dishonesty and honestly the level

474
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: of radicalization among people that are in the news media

475
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party. This is how they talk about

476
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: these things now. Yeah, and again, note what happened and

477
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: how skill fully they pivoted the story from six innocent

478
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: people at a Christian elementary school or slaughtered by a

479
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: crazy transwoman, and seventeen days after that slaughter, after what

480
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: may well have been a hate crime directed against them

481
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: because of their because they're Christians, by a trans woman,

482
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: they have pivoted to our democracies under attack because these

483
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: two state legislators were not in office for a couple

484
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: of days. They didn't even miss a vote. Yet that

485
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: is the predominant storyline. And you're probably not even gonna

486
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: hear anything else about that trans manifesto except on a

487

510
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We are

511
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. Appreciate all

512
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We've got a bunch

513
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: of callers who went to weigh in so far based

514
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: on the way the show is going, we certainly appreciate

515
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: all of you. Let's go to Francisco out in Utah. Francisco.

516
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: You're a Guatemalan immigrant, that's correct. So when you see

517
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: what's happening in the United States, I think this is

518
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: such an important storyline. And certainly, Buck, we're down in

519
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: South Florida where you've heard and seen a lot Erican

520
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Hispanic support for Republicans because people in those countries actually

521
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: know what socialism represents. Francisco, when you see what's going

522
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: on here, and you know what has happened before based

523
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: on being from Guatemala. What is your analysis here? Well,

524
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: first of all, let me just say that I am

525
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: so grateful for this country, the way that it came

526
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: to pass a constitution and everything that makes this country

527
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: what it is. And you know, it's sad for me

528
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: to see all of these things happening because I can

529
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: see they're writing on the wall. I am totally surprised

530
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: that people are not waking up and seeing what's going on.

531
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: In my concern, the main concern is this. You know,

532
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: all across the board, you know, from politics to global warming, transgender,

533
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: all of these things happening. Most of us are in

534
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: disagreement with all of these things going on, and where

535
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: a pall of what's going on. But why does the

536
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: left seem to have so much power? Why is it

537
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: that Trump? It's a great question. No, come to the

538
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: front and liberal things you just pushed in the background, Biden,

539
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: I would say, I would say thank you so much

540
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: for calling in. I would say there's a structural component

541
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: to this and a mindset component to this. Exactly what

542
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: you're saying, which our caller just for everybody was bringing

543
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: up why is it that the left is able to

544
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: even when out of power, by the way, even when

545
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily those who have won the most recent election,

546
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: why are they able to advance the agenda and have

547
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: been able to do so so effectively, particularly over I'd

548
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: say the last ten years or so, and it feels

549
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: like it accelerates a little more with each passing year.

550
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: On the structural side, it's because they have seized the

551
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: commanding heights of culture. Uh, they've they've seized the platforms,

552
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: they've seized the institutional power that exists in this country.

553
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: So that's go down the list, right, Academia, Hollywood, social media, Uh,

554
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, big law corporations. If you see they they

555
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: have infiltrated and now control so much of this. And

556
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: that's that's obvious, I think. But also there's a mindset

557
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: component of this clay, which is that the the disadvantage,

558
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: the advantage that conservatives have in life, but the disadvantage

559
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: that they have in politics is that ultimately we just

560
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: want people to leave us alone. Yeah, and so we

561
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: are less by our nature activated and mobilized in politics

562
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: because we see it often as you know, it's as

563
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: if you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. So

564
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: many conservative conservatives I know field that way. We've now

565
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: woken up to there is no there is no standing

566
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: aside in this fight for the country. There is no

567
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go live in my cabin off the grid

568
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: and not deal with people. They're gonna come knocking on

569
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: your cabin, hand you a mask and say here's shot

570
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: number seven. Like they're not letting you go. I think

571
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: they're ten to fifteen percent of ideologus are more committed

572
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: and more powerful. And it doesn't take that many people

573
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: study history. It doesn't take that many people who are

574
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: committed to anything if they are true believers. So the

575
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: Soviet Revolution, I think is such an interesting comparison and

576
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: such an interesting point with what claim said there. The

577
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks people, this is not taught really

578
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: in school. The Bolsheviks were never popular and never even

579
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: a majority among the socialists in the early days of

580
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: they call themselves Bolsheviks, which is effectively the majority or majoritarians.

581
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: As a marketing employer, they're like, well, we're the majority.

582
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: The Mensheviks actually had greater support in the early days

583
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: of the Soviet revolution under Lenin. But the Bolsheviks were

584
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: the ten to fifteen percent or whatever the number is.

585
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: But to your point, about ten to fifteen percent who

586
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: were just the most committed. We will make it happen.

587
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: We will get our way, We will crush any descent

588
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: that can get you very far. We have Bolsheviks in

589
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: a very different capacity operating in this country right now.

590
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: They don't when you look at bud Light, bud Light

591
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: employees aren't like, yeah, sign me up for this program,

592
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: or Disney genderism or Disney. But if there are enough

593
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: people in hr, enough people in the c suite, enough

594
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: people who control the levers of power and therefore have

595
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: the leverage to influence a whole lot more than any

596
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: one individual would, that's where we see the agenda being moved.

597
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: I was talking with a friend who works at Disney

598
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: Big Picture Disney, and he was saying that people in

599
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: positions of power on the woke side are so powerful

600
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: that when he talked with his coworkers, they're afraid to

601
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: speak out because, and I think this is so important,

602
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: they got mortgages to pay, They're trying to put their

603
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: kids through college, and that's why these people are so powerful.

604
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: Because they can threaten. This is why cancel culture works,

605
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: because it's not just canceling people, right, that's a small

606
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: part of it. It's putting everyone else on notice that

607
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: it could be you, and terrifying so many people from

608
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: speaking out. That's what they're doing every day. Genghis Khan

609
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: didn't have to burn down and massacre everyone in every

610
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: city to get compliance from a lot only you had

611
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: to do it sometimes, and then a whole lot of

612
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: other people said, you know what, we don't want to

613
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: fight these guys, Let's let the Mongols just take over.

614
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: We'll pay our tribute. Similar attitude with the woke in

615
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: this country. They you know, they don't have to burn

616
