1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Sitting in for Clay and Buck today syndicated radio personality 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Michael Berry. I want to I want you to cleanse 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: your palette for a moment. I want to discuss something else. 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: We'll get back to what we were just talking about, 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: but I want to make sure. There's several things I 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: wanted to get to today, and this one is very 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: important because it relates to an item that's been in 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: the news and one of the biggest issues confronting the country. 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: Eventually gets to illegal immigration, but hold on for a moment. 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: You remember, in early August, there were some deadly wildfires 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: that spread across part of Maui. Now it's important to 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: note not the rich part. I didn't realize how many 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: celebrities had homes in Maui, and oddly enough, their homes 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: weren't the ones that burned. If they had, then we 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: probably would have had a national television program and we'd 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: have had Lady Gaga and all these famous people, and 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: they would have told us how important this was, and 20 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: we would have all emoted. We would have empathized. We 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 1: would have connected because, oh my goodness, this famous people 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: had harm come to them, or at least one of 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: their homes. But that didn't happen. On the northwest portion 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: of Maui, in a town called Lahina or Leahina, depending 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: on who you ask, twenty two hundred buildings were destroyed. 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: That's twenty two hundred structures. Most of those were residential structures. 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: This was the poorer and the working class section of Maui, 28 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: because somebody has to clean the big mansions. It was 29 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: estimated that about six billion dollar dollars of damage was done. 30 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: The Commerce depart went in later and ratcheted that down 31 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: to about five point five billion dollars in damage to Maui. Now, 32 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: when that happened, there were lots of questions about people 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: being trapped. There were questions about how the Hawaiian regional 34 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: and state authorities handled this. There were questions about whether 35 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: the government had failed the people. And it's quite similar 36 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: actually to what happened in New Orleans back and I 37 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: think it was two thousand and five with Katrina, not Katrina, 38 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: yea Katrina. We'll get back to that in the moment, 39 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: but that was a moment where it strikes me that 40 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: every American should have felt a certain sadness that our 41 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: fellow Americans were burning to death. They their children, their dogs, 42 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: their homes, their lives laid bare. It's awful. I didn't 43 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: see that, did you. It wasn't covered in that way, 44 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: wasn't talked about it in that way. And that starts 45 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: at the top. Joe Biden was asked, Joe Biden had 46 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: been on vacation in Maryland, and then he was spending 47 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: a week and a half at the home of Tom Steyer, 48 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: who's a billionaire who had an eighteen million dollar mansion 49 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe. I'm not mad at him. I'd love 50 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: to have an eighteen dollar an eighteen million dollar mansion. 51 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden was there with the straw Man for 52 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: all his criminal activity, his son Hunter, and he couldn't 53 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: be bothered to care about what was happening in Maui. 54 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: You may remember how he answered when the press asked 55 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: as he was headed to Lake Tahoe, are you going 56 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: to go visit Maui? Where the American people are it's 57 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: safe for your visit now? Are you are you going 58 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: to go there to bring attention to this, so that 59 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: maybe the Red Cross could raise some money, so that 60 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: the philanthropists would would throw their money at it, so 61 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: that people. Do you remember how he answered, no comment, 62 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: no comment, no comment, there were one hundred Americans who 63 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: died in a tragedy, no comment. Before he asked for 64 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: money for Maui. He continued the ask that was already 65 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: in place for twenty four billion dollars for Ukraine to supplement. 66 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 1: I believe it was seventy five million that had already 67 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: been sent. Can you imagine how it felt. But this 68 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: gets to the bigger issue, part of the pluralism that 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: has taken root, part of the abhorrence of America. First 70 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: part of the idea that illegals have just as much 71 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: right to live in this country as we do is 72 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: a multi layered idea that Americans aren't special, and Americans 73 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: aren't a nation in the traditional sense of a nation. 74 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: They're not a people with a connection, They're not a 75 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: people with a bond. You know, that's what the Olympics 76 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: used to represent. Cheer for our countrymen, and they cheer 77 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: for theirs, and we compete. But now, through a series 78 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: of very very subtle forms of subterfuge. The concept of 79 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: being an American no longer means that you respect and 80 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: hold your fellow American above anyone else in the world. 81 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: How dare you? Why would you? We're the only nation 82 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: in the world that does that. You would never expect 83 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: of a person in China that an American would be 84 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: moved to the front of their line, or Japan or 85 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: anywhere else. In fact, we're the only country that doesn't 86 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: defend our borders and our very own people are told. 87 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: You're told you're a bad person for not defending your border. 88 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: I mean, for trying to defend your border. It's only 89 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: because you don't like other people. I'm not allowed to 90 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: walk into that same country that those people came from. 91 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Are they terrible for feeling that way? We're the only 92 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: people who are told that we're terrible for saying to 93 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: someone that you can't walk into a store and take 94 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: what you want off the shelf. How dare we do that? 95 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: This is why the castle doctrine upsets the left so much. 96 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: How dare we defend our property from a person seeking 97 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: to steal it or kill us in the process. How 98 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: dare we defend ourselves? How dare we be armed to 99 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: stop the Democrats from doing what they do at every 100 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: level of government to us, which is take what they 101 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: want when they want it. How dare we what awful 102 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: people we are? That's what gun control is. Gun control 103 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: is the government's attempt to keep you from defending yourself. 104 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: Guns aren't for hunting. That's why I always laugh when 105 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: I see these notional media personalities say you don't need 106 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: this or that gun to go deer hunting. I don't 107 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: have guns for deer hunting. I mean I do, but 108 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: that's not why we need the guns. We need the 109 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: guns we have to keep the Democrats out of our home, 110 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: whether they're officially in office or they just got out 111 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: of prison. That's what they're for. That's what they were 112 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: always for. Let's be very clear. Let's just be blunting 113 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: and get that out there right now. Let's not peck 114 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: around the edges. So I'd bring up the case in 115 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: Maui to tie it to this. Illegal immigration has been 116 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: devastating the state of Texas for decades, and it's gotten 117 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: worse and worse and worse. It's horrible the crimes. Our 118 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: schools can no longer handle the burden. You could be 119 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: waiting for twenty four hours in an emergency room. No 120 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: matter how bad your emergency is, our prisons can't hold 121 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: the illegals who come here, who are bad guys from 122 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: where they're coming. And so finally our governor Greg Abbott 123 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: did something right. See, if we keep pushing those illegals 124 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: back into Mexico, then they just come back again and 125 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: again and again. Nobody cares. So he did something nobody 126 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: when Chicago and New York were declaring that they are 127 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: sanctuary cities and we should be too, How dare we 128 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: not want to be overrun by illegal aliens, they weren't 129 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: being overrun by illegal aliens. They were basically saying, why 130 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: are you complaining about cancer? It's not so bad. We 131 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: don't fear cancer because you don't have it, but we do. 132 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: So our governor started sending people, and DeSantis started doing 133 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: the same thing from Florida, but it was begun in 134 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: earnest out of Texas. We started sending them to New 135 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: York and sending them to Chicago. And it's a tiny 136 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: number of people think of the logistics to get them there. 137 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: And yet Chicago's idiot mayor Brandon Johnson, talking about the 138 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: fact that he needs more money for the federal government 139 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: because the few illegals we've sent there are just overwhelming him. 140 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 141 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: We have reached a critical point in this mission that 142 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: absent real, significant intervention immediately, our local economies are not 143 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: designed and build to respond to this type of crisis. 144 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: We are really building a system as we go along. 145 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Well, If the third largest city in America is not 146 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: built to handle a handful of illegals that we send 147 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: up there, how do you think the people of Texas are. 148 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: You don't, but you didn't care. If the city of 149 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: New York, the largest city in America, can't handle a 150 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: few illegals that we end up there by bus, how 151 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: do you expect. 152 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: That we can? 153 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: You don't, but you never cared. You didn't care about 154 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: our problem until it became your problem. That means we 155 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: don't have a nation. That means we don't have a 156 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: country of countrymen who care. If it's not bothering them, 157 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: they don't want anything done about it. But they're not 158 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: bragging their sanctuary cities any longer are they. We'll explore 159 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: this concept. I'm Michael Berry in for Clay and Buck 160 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: all week, coming up from the front Lines of Truth, 161 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Michael Berry in for Clay 162 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: and Buck all week. Let's go to Stephen in Alabama. 163 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: Eure up, sir, go ahead. 164 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, hi, Michael. I was responding to the excuse me 165 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: the man from Gentlemen from Birmingham, the sales manager. I submit, 166 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: get his name, but I submit to him that he's 167 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: Henry from the wrong aspect of the situation. He said 168 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: that he when he goes to these white male owned businesses, 169 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 3: they turn him down, and he sends out a very 170 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: pretty white woman and they respond to her. Take the 171 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: white out of that. That statement to a very pretty woman, 172 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: I would suspect that they would respond to a very 173 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 3: pretty black woman with equal opportunity as they do to 174 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: the very pretty white woman. Because we as men are 175 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: are let's see it, what's the word, we are excluded 176 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 3: sometimes by women? Where what we come from? Women? I'm sorry, 177 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: I'm little nervous here. 178 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: No, no, don't be nervous at all, Steven, You know 179 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: I will tell you. I'll share a little experience with 180 00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: you. You know, you see advertisements for sports cars, and if 181 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: you ever notice that the sports car, at least historically 182 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: was always a bright red right. Right, I have never 183 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: been offered the opportunity to don my speedo, uh, go 184 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: into the taming booth and lay across the the hood 185 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: of the car in hopes that women would buy that 186 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: car for themselves, thinking I would be thrown in with 187 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: the package unintended, Right but right, but yet Uh, Tawny 188 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: Kataine can be laying across the hood of the car 189 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: and that ad is splashed across you know, field and 190 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: stream or uh, you know any number of male oriented magazines, 191 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: TV programs, you name, you name it. But she doesn't 192 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: come along with the car. That is because sexual attraction 193 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: is a very very natural thing. And the problem you 194 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: know this, Steven, this is what you were saying. I'm 195 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: not disagreeing with you. I'm just gonna add something to it. 196 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: The problem we get into as a society is a 197 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: typical post modern, overthinking, pointy head problem, and that is 198 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: the idea that you can deny or defy biology. We 199 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: are attracted. Most males are attracted to females. And you 200 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: can pull out any Kinsey study, which I think was overblown, 201 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: or any other but we are primarily just as every 202 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: animal is. We are attracted to the opposite sex. I 203 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: do think there are some people acted to the same sex, 204 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: but it's a very small percentage. No matter what, even 205 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: those people are attracted to someone else. That le level 206 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: of attraction is not intentional, it's not thoughtful, it's not premeditated. 207 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know the first age at which I noticed 208 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: an attraction to a girl. But for most of us 209 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: when we were growing up, girls were gross. We had 210 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: no use for them. They couldn't throw the football properly, 211 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: they couldn't catch a baseball. They didn't want to climb 212 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: trees or play cowboys and Indians. They didn't want to 213 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: ride dirt bikes through the mud. They wanted to play 214 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: with Barbie dolls, and we had no use for that. 215 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: And I remember our parents, particularly our mothers, saying, Oh, 216 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: there'll be a time that little Susie you won't think 217 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: she's so gross anymore, and then you sort of ease 218 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: into that. Well, I wouldn't mind kissing her behind the tire. 219 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Steven, but our poor little 220 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: elementary school at mac Lewis, we didn't have fancy playground gear, 221 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: but we did have They had buried these big tractor 222 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: tires and so the tractor tire was about halfway in, 223 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: and so your first kiss for most of us was 224 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: you grab a little girl you tucked in inside the 225 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: tire and you get a little, you know, smooch. And 226 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: my mom asked me if I was a kissing bandit 227 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: because she said someone else had told her that. But 228 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: this level of attraction, there's nothing wrong with it. See 229 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: this whole me too and all. There are guys who 230 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: go too far with it. There are people who push 231 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: it too far. But now we've swung the other extreme. 232 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Of course, a pretty woman is going to get more 233 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: sales than an average man when the buyer is a man. 234 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: That's that's not anything other than biology. Let's not deny that. 235 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: Let's not pretend it doesn't happen, because it does. And 236 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: I'll bet you Henry himself would rather purchase from a 237 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: pretty girl than somebody who looks exactly like him. Michael 238 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: Berry and for claym. Buck Moore coming up, Clay Travis 239 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. You know, 240 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: if you are on social media, there is something that 241 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: happens to you, and it happens to us all, myself included, 242 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: and it gets to the very core of our psyche, 243 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: and that is that when you post something to the community, 244 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: you can't help but wait and see and hope that 245 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: people will respond to that. And as as social media 246 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: as it came to be called and known widely, as 247 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 1: it evolved in warp speed, and this is really this 248 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: is really within the last twenty years, and in earnest 249 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: within the last fifteen and at warp speed within the 250 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: last ten it evolved into. In the past, media was 251 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: where a person promoting in opinions, making a statement would 252 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: speak and it was a one way relationship and the 253 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: audience would receive. What talk radio allowed, which was pretty cool, 254 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: was at least a few people could respond to the host, 255 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: so you had a degree of interactive engagement, and that 256 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: made talk radio a special place. Even at the very 257 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: local level, somebody that didn't have a Rush Limbaugh or 258 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck audience platform, you'd still hear this interaction 259 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 1: and it was fun. It was fun to overhear like 260 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: you overhear a conversation. It was interesting. That's what the 261 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: letter to the editor was for the old newspaper. It 262 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: was an opportunity for the reader to give some feedback 263 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: and offer their opinion. But social media democratized the flurry 264 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: of opinions because we all have opinions, and particularly in 265 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: modern America, we really all have opinions. We're encouraged to 266 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: have opinions, we're rewarded for having opinions, and so thus 267 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: began this very noisy, polluted environment of people offering opinions. 268 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: And so there is the natural result that you hope 269 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: that your opinion gets reaction. Doesn't make you a bad person. 270 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: I can tell you if you joined a band and 271 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: you got up on stage and you played a song 272 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: that you wrote, and you finished the song, you would 273 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: wait and hope the audience cheered. Heck, when you go 274 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: to your kid's recital, you may be the only one 275 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: after your three year old daughter does her pirouette or 276 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: whatever the term is, and you're just, oh, way to go. Yes, Cameron, 277 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: you're the best, and you're actually trying to spike the two. 278 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: You're trying to get other people to clap because you 279 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: want your daughter to get the reaction that everybody loved 280 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: what she just did. Was it the greatest ever? Probably not, 281 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: but you know that she's waiting for that reaction. A 282 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: dog will do that. A singer on stage will do that. 283 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: People do that on social media. It's very natural to 284 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: do this. And so as social media has in a 285 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: sense replaced for many people, and if you're honest, it'll 286 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: be a lot of you as well. Social media has 287 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: replaced a hobby. It may have replaced how much time 288 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: we spend watching, say Fox News or CNN or any 289 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: number of other things, the things that used to busy us, 290 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: the things that used to engage us or at least 291 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: take our time. We only have so much time, and 292 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: this very interactive, even if it's even if it's through 293 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: the portal of a computer or a laptop or a phone. 294 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: This allowed a connectivity that could relieve boredom and could 295 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: relieve loneliness because before we had social media, we only 296 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: had the television, and before the television, we only had 297 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: the radio. And before the radio, we only had the 298 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: printed paper where the article was written and then printed 299 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: and then delivered, and so it was kind of old 300 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: and stale, and if we had a reaction to it, 301 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: we had to find somebody in our house or our 302 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: dog to yell at or scream in response to. But 303 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: as technology has allowed us to connect, it also gave 304 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: us metrics to measure ourselves and we can't help it. 305 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: It's human nature. The human nature didn't change, and the 306 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: human nature is after I scream out, I want people 307 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: to applaud, after I play my song, I want people 308 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: to applaud. And that's what social media likes and reposts 309 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: and all those things are. In fact, another quirk that 310 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: social media allowed that we didn't have much of before 311 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: was the idea that if I can't get people to 312 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: like literally and figuratively what I have to say, I 313 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: can at least say things that are so obnoxious that 314 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: I can get them to react in a grudging way. 315 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: And if nothing else, that's attention. And some people are 316 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: really really good at it. Some people are fun to watch. 317 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: There's a guy who posts under the name three Year Letterman, 318 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: and without going too much into the character he's created, 319 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite. And he will post the 320 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: most ridiculous things that are just trolling for people to 321 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: be upset, and then once they're upset, he's got them. 322 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: And then he just goes back and forth and he 323 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: spits and spouts things that are not true but could 324 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: potentially have been thought by someone and he's having a 325 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: ball with it. But most people are very naturally going 326 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: to make statements with the design of getting the best 327 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: and most positive and broadest reaction, and in that environment, 328 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: ideas change from being authentic, legitimate, sincere to being ideas 329 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: that test well with the audience as opposed to these 330 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: ideas over here. So then we go to what happened 331 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: last night. I don't like Nicki Haley. In fact, I 332 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: think Nicki Haley is terrible. I fear she's going to 333 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: be Trump's vice presidential nominee. She's a woman. He's gonna 334 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: want a woman, whatever you may think. And again, I'm 335 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: not shilling for Trump or advising Trump or arguing this 336 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: is a good or bad thing. I'm colling balls and 337 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: strikes as to what I expect will happen. I think 338 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: it's most likely that Trump makes Nicki Haley his vice 339 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: presidential nominee, and the earlier he does that, the faster 340 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: the race is over. Because if he makes her the 341 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: offer today, she can't win the nomination. She accepts it, 342 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: and you can you can shut it down and turn 343 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: the lights off. It's over because now he picks up 344 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: her support as well, and anyone who was supporting him 345 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: and doesn't like her, is still going to support him 346 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: because he's at the top of the ticket. But last 347 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: night there was an exchange and Nicki Haley was asked 348 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: the question as to whether slavery had any you know, 349 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the role of slavery in the Civil War. Now Here 350 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: we are in twenty twenty three, almost twenty twenty four, 351 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: and we're asking questions about something that occurred one hundred 352 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: and sixty three years ago? Why why do we ask that? 353 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: Why is it important to know? We don't ask why 354 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: the American Revolution occurred. We don't ask why the colonists 355 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: could no longer be under the king's rule that with 356 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: whom they shared their cousins. We never bring that up. 357 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: Why would we. We don't ask why we involved ourselves 358 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: in Cuba and pride Spain out of there. We don't 359 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: ask about Pershing's conquests across Mexico. We don't talk about 360 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: the fall of the Alamo and whether Sam Houston should 361 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: have sent troops and saved Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. 362 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: For some reason, though, we keep discussing the Civil War 363 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: as if your opinion on what happened, of course, filtered 364 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: through how it's been described because nobody was alive at 365 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: that time. We're going to choose our nominees on that basis. 366 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Back on the other side and explain what Nicki Haley 367 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: said and the unfortunate thing. And this is for Henry 368 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: and everyone else who about halfway listens. I'm not defending 369 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley. I don't like Nicki Haley. I also don't 370 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: think that her answer was terrible. See, I don't just 371 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: think that the person I think should win is always 372 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: right and the person I don't think should win is 373 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: always wrong. I think that's a silly way to go 374 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: about things. But we'll talk more about that if that 375 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: makes sense, and I'll take exactly what she said. Michael 376 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Berry in for Clay and Buck all week coming up. 377 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: Have fun with the guys on Sundays the Sunday Hang podcast. 378 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: It's silly, it's goofy, it's good times. Fight it in 379 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app 380 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Michael Berry in for 381 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck all week. There is something I can't 382 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: let go without coming on, and I want to ask 383 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 1: you to listen carefully to what I've said said because 384 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: this is an issue that has Pavlov's dogs salivating at 385 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: the moment of mention, such that there's never an actual conversation, 386 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: and I'd rather move beyond that, and let's start with this. 387 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: For some reason, in this country, the issue of slavery 388 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: takes on a level of importance to political campaigns, to candidacies, 389 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: to bolster one person and bring down another. And I 390 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: don't believe it is in any way related to the 391 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: conversations which it always muddles. For instance, we didn't ask 392 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady before he could take the starting job in 393 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay what his opinions on slavery were. I'm not 394 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: sure why. Maybe we should have. And we never asked 395 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan whether before he could have six championships he 396 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: believed that the Civil War was fought over the issue 397 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: of slavery or whether it was over States rights, because, 398 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: as Clay Travis wrote in his book Republicans by Sneakers too, 399 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: And you could actually go and watch Michael Jordan play 400 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: basketball and enjoy watching him be so good at his craft, 401 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: the master of it, without needing to know his opinion, 402 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: and maybe he didn't even have one on the subject. 403 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: So why is it that last night at a at 404 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: a small The thing about Iowa is you get these, 405 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: you know, kind of head to head conversations. Nikki Haley 406 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: has asked a question about the cause of the Civil War. 407 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: Now I'm not sure why that's relevant. I mean, is 408 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: it a quiz Is this seems like kind of thing 409 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: that maybe we'd have in history in eleventh grade and 410 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: we're going to give her a grade on whether she studied. 411 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: Is it really really important? Because well, we'll get to 412 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: that moment. So here is how she answered. And again, 413 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: I am not an apologist for Nicki Haley. I don't 414 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: like Nikki Haley. I could spend the entire show telling 415 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 1: you all the reasons I don't like her, but I'm 416 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: not gonna do it. We'll get to that. But here's 417 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: what she answered. I think the cause of the Civil 418 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: War was basically how government was going to run the 419 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. I think 420 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: it always comes down to the role of government and 421 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: what the rights of the people are. And I will 422 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: always stand by the fact that I think government was 423 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. 424 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: It was never meant to be all things to all people, Well, 425 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: she's getting a lot of criticism, and you get a 426 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: lot of criticism when you're in a presidential race. People 427 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: make fun of the boots Ron DeSantis wears. Does that 428 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: really have anything to do with what kind of president 429 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: he'd be? Of course not. But that's what people do, right. 430 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: They're rooting for their team, and you're rooting for your team. 431 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: And if and you know, hey, if your guy changes 432 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: jerseys and gets you know, if Gary Templeton gets gets 433 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: traded and we get Ozzie Gien, then Ozzie Gien goes 434 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: from being the wizard and he's great, so we don't 435 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: like him anymore. And Templeton goes from being a guy 436 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: flipping off the fans to he's got a better stick 437 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: than again. So all of a sudden, all of a sudden, 438 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: we change our opinion of how someone feels and throws 439 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: and hits and runs based on whether they're our team 440 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: or not, which I guess is fine. That's what elections 441 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: are about, and we have become a nation of elections. 442 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: Elections are the great national pastime. And if you think 443 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: about it, if you are a political cable channel, you're 444 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: basically the espn of politics, and that's why before an 445 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: election is even held, they start talking about, well, what 446 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: about the next election beyond that. I don't know about you, 447 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: but I don't enjoy in the lead up to the 448 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl discussion of whether this or that player is 449 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: going to come back or not in the speculation of it. 450 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: But hey, they're a sports station. They've got time to kill, 451 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: so they just talk about stuff without regard to the 452 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: game itself. And in fact, ESPN and Sage Steele has 453 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassed them by exposing this. ESPN stopped caring about 454 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: sports a long time ago. Now they just want some 455 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: dude with a wiener to be able to outswim the girls, 456 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: leaving aside the fact that you've got greater strength and 457 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: all the advantages of being a man despite the drag 458 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: that women don't have. And that's the reason that Lea 459 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: Thomas can win and Riley Gains is horrible, And Sage 460 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: Steele comes out now and says, we were told not 461 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: to defend Riley Gains and not to criticize Lea Thomas. 462 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: So ESPN is not really a sports station at all anyway. 463 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: But when you think about the fact that political cable 464 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: television and for that matter, talk radio, and for that matter, 465 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: all sorts of conservative sites. When you think about the 466 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: fact that all of this attention goes into we've got 467 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: to keep the hype going, which is fine, I'll listen 468 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: to it as well. But what it means is that 469 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: things now all of a sudden, become the top story 470 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: of the day when they're absolutely useless and irrelevant, because 471 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: we've got to keep feeding the slot to the people 472 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: as opposed to focusing on things that matter. And with 473 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: that in mind, I'd like to talk about the great 474 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: example of coach Steve Sarkesian of the University of Texas. 475 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: It's playing Washington next week, and now he's a great 476 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: example for young people in the way he has lived 477 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: his life. Michael Berry and for Claying Buck. More coming 478 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: up
