1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Welcome in. I hope all of you are having fantastic

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Thursdays wherever you may be across this great country or

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: around the world. We are here to make the next

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: three hours as enjoyable and informative as we possibly can.

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Thank you all for hanging out with us. Give me

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a roadmap. Tulsea Gabbert is going

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: to join us at two. She has got a new

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: book out. We've had her on a couple of times.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: She is in the running to potentially be Trump's vice president,

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: but also maybe as well in his cabinet. We will

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: talk with her. We'll also talk Arizona politics at two

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: thirty with abe Hagadah, who is running out there for

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: a congressional seat. So that is where we are headed.

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: In the third hour of the program. Buck is out today.

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: He is traveling. We have got a massive day of

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: outside of studio promotional related activities that will be taking

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: place all over the city of Nashville. So he is

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: in the air, I believe, as I am speaking to

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: you right now, en route to Nashville, this probably doesn't

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: surprise a lot of you, but there are many things

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: that are involved in doing this show that don't actually

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: occur during the three hours between twelve and three eastern

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: and nine am and noon on the West coast every

24
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: single day. And by the way, soon we're going to

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: have an announcement about going over five hundred affiliate stations

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: out there, which is a pretty incredible accomplishment and thanks

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: to many of you. But I am fired up this morning,

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: this afternoon, wherever you may be across the country, I

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: guess it's just hit the afternoon on the East Coast,

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: still morning everywhere else. Harrison Buker is a guy that

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of you are not going to know at all.

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: He's a Kansas City chiefs kicker. He is instrumental in

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City, having won several Super Bowls here during the

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes era. And he's an outspoken Catholic and he

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: was asked to give a commencement address at a Catholic

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: university and he gave that commencement address. And the outrage

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: has been building for multiple days now as the left

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: has decided that his opinions are unacceptable for a football

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: player to have. Mind you, I'm going to play some

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: of these clips and I think it's important for you

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: guys to hear them, and then I'm going to use

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: them as a platform to discuss what I see as

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: a huge amount of people in media and on social

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: media and in American life in general who talk left

45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: but live right. That is, they embrace all left wing

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: values publicly, but in their own private lives they actually

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: live by the values of the right. They are being

48
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: fundamentally dishonest in the way they live their lifestyle and

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the way they publicly espouse opinions compared to what they

50
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: do in their own private lives. And I'm going to

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: talk about that. I think this is so illustrative of

52
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: that gap. But let's begin by just letting all of

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: you hear what Harrison Butker said. And so you know,

54
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, the NFL condemned Harrison Butker's comments in

55
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: this commencement address, and last night Kansas City, the official

56
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: Twitter account of Kansas City doxed Harrison Butker based on

57
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: the neighborhood he lives in Kansas City. They later deleted

58
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: it and apologized. But I want you to actually hear

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: what he said so you can understand how fundamentally dishonest

60
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: this all is. By the way, the NFL had its

61
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: vice president of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Of course, the

62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: DEI stooges who destroy every institution from the inside. They

63
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: had him speak out against this. But I just want

64
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: to play the clips because I always think it's important

65
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: to not just talk about the controversy, but to understand

66
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: from which the controversy has arisen. That is what was

67
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: actually said. We played a little bit of this for

68
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: you yesterday as we finished the program, but I want

69
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: to start here with cut twenty five that we finished

70
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: the show with yesterday. This is receiving a lot of attention,

71
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: but Kerk talks about his wife and how important she

72
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: has been to his family's success. This is considered controversial.

73
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Listen, I want to speak directly to you briefly because

74
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: I think it is you the women who have had

75
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of

76
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: you are sitting here now about to cross this stage

77
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you

78
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: are going to get in your career. Some of you

79
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: may go on to lee successful careers in the world,

80
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: but I would venture to guess that the majority of

81
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: you are most excited about your marriage and the children

82
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: you will bring into this world. I can tell you

83
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: say that her life truly started when she began living

85
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I'm

86
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: on this stage today and able to be the man

87
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: I am because I have a wife who leans into

88
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: her vocation. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God

89
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: has given me. But it cannot be overstated that all

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: of my success is made possible because a girl I

91
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: met in band class back in middle school would convert

92
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of

93
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: the most important titles of all holemaker.

94
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: That is a man, in his most public statement, probably

95
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: of his life, professing that the reason he's become a

96
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: success is because of the good fortune he's had to

97
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: meet his wife and that they now are able to

98
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: share a family together. That's considered controversial. The NFL just

99
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: condemned that. To my knowledge, the NFL doesn't come out

100
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: and condemn wife beating. By and large, the NFL doesn't

101
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: come out and condemn drunk driving very often, if ever,

102
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, the NFL has never even condemned anybody

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: else's private political opinion on any issue. Harrison Butker brought

104
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: to tears talking about his wife's contribution to their family

105
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: and the most public speech that he will probably give

106
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: in his life is worthy of condemnation by the NFL.

107
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: What's going on here? What's really going on? Because I'm

108
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: going to play a couple of other cuts, but I

109
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: want to start with this one. I mentioned Live Talk left,

110
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: Live right. What does that mean? That's what the NFL

111
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: is doing when they're attacking Harrison Butker. I can speak

112
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: to all of you about the fact that I've been

113
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: married for almost twenty years. In August, I'm gonna have

114
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: been married for twenty years. I've got three boys, as

115
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 1: you guys all know, sixteen, thirteen, nine, tenth grade, seventh grade,

116
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: third grade. When I had my first two. When we

117
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: had our first two kids, it was an incredible struggle.

118
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: Both of us worked full time. It was an incredible

119
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: struggle to raise those kids, even with help from my parents.

120
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: I would start off most mornings was running out Kick,

121
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: the site that I sold three years ago, was doing

122
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: daily radio. My wife would get up around five am.

123
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: She's a guidance counselor at a local high school here

124
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: in the Nashville area. She would leave go to the

125
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: gym to work out early in the morning, and then

126
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: go straight to her high school. High schools obviously start

127
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: early in the morning. I would get up with our

128
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: two year old and our baby boy. I would get

129
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: both of them ready, get them dressed, feed the morning bottle,

130
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: get them all geared up, and I would take them

131
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: to daycare, the very middle class daycare, a middle class

132
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: daycare that I think a lot of you are going

133
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: to understand because you're dealing with issues like this, or

134
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: your grandkids and your kids are dealing with issues like these.

135
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Middle class daycare cost me more than college tuition would

136
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: have at the University of Tennessee. Nearly my wife's entire

137
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: salary as a school guidance counselor here in public schools

138
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: in Tennessee was eaten up by what it cost to

139
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: put an infant and a two year old into daycare.

140
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: My wife would work all day. She would come pick

141
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: them up in the afternoon. I would work all day.

142
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: I would then I would go do radio, and then

143
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: we were together in the evenings. I'm speaking on both

144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: of our behalves. My wife would tell you that she

145
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: was miserable. She got to be around her baby for

146
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: only a few hours every day. She got to be

147
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: around her two year old for only a few hours

148
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: every day. A lot of you have had that struggle.

149
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's far more difficult for women than

150
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: for men. But I personally felt like a huge failure

151
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: as a dad because I wasn't able to make enough

152
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: to allow my family to not have to be a

153
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: dual income household. Now look, I was raised in a

154
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: dual income household. My wife is a law school graduate.

155
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: She's got a graduate degree from Vanderbilt. I loved the

156
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: idea of everybody pursuing education to the highest of their ability.

157
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: And some of you listening right now may well be

158
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: men whose wives make more money. So I'm not trying

159
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: to say that this has to be entirely a gender

160
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: based discussion. But when I finally started to have more

161
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: success in my career and I could allow us to

162
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: become a one income family, a one full time working family,

163
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: our life got one thousand percent better, not a little

164
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: bit better, one thousand percent better. I think the kids

165
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: are far better off. That was a luxury that we

166
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: were finally able to achieve. And even now, I will

167
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: say if I could go back in time and do anything.

168
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I would like to donate money to myself so that

169
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: my wife never had to work once we had kids. Now,

170
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm not criticizing anybody out there that's a single parent

171
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: or both parents having to work. I've been through all

172
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: of those challenges. I didn't make over forty thousand dollars

173
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: a year until I was in my thirties. So look,

174
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: I know how difficult it can be and how many

175
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: of you have to have two income households, especially in

176
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: this Joe Biden economy where everything costs way more than

177
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: it should. But the idea that Harrison Butker, who is

178
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: successful enough to make millions of dollars as he says

179
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: in his career, would be criticized for bragging about his

180
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: wife's ability to help their family grow, I think is

181
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: an incredible insult. And worse than that, I think it's

182
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: incredibly dishonest because I think every parent out there listening

183
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: to me right now, just about at some point in time,

184
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: if you have multiple young kids, has thought, boy, I

185
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: wish we made enough money so only one of us

186
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: had to work. Now, I understand that is an aspirational

187
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: goal for many people. It was an aspirational goal for

188
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: me personally. I just said I felt like a failure

189
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: as a dad that my wife had to work when

190
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: she didn't want to work, when she would have preferred

191
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: to stay home with our kids. I'm not saying you

192
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: both can't work if you love your jobs and you

193
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: find that to be personally fulfilling. I'm not saying that

194
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: people always feel like they're being attacked, but most parents,

195
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: deep down have thought to themselves, I'd like to have

196
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: a one parent household where one parent can work and

197
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: the other one can focus one hundred percent on the kids.

198
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: That is an aspirational goal. You know who does that,

199
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: huge percentages of pro athletes, because they make millions of

200
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: dollars a year and they can be fortunate to have

201
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: a wife who stays home. What's really going on when

202
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: the NFL is condemning what Harrison Butker said. I'm going

203
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: to play some more cuts from it because I think

204
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: this is a big story. What's really going on is

205
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: a direct attack on gender itself. They are trying to

206
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: attack the idea that men and women can have different roles,

207
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: and that biology is real and that there is in

208
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: fact a benefit to a two parent household than that

209
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: oftentimes kids benefit if possible, by one parent as the

210
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: primary caregiver. This isn't a radical idea. This is an

211
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: aspirational value that all of you understand, and yet Harrison

212
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Butker is being attacked for actually embracing it and tearfully

213
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: praising his wife in the most public address he'll give.

214
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Harrison Butker, in terms of criticism, would have been far

215
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: better off getting accused of sexual assault than to actually

216
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: say his family has benefited from his wife staying home

217
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: and helping to raise the kids. Think about how crazy

218
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: that is. The NFL wouldn't have condemned him publicly, probably

219
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: if he'd been accused of sexual ass all but crying

220
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: during a commencement address and praising his wife for helping

221
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: to raise their kids. That's not acceptable. I'm gonna take

222
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: some of your calls eight hundred and two two two

223
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: eight A two, and I want to play a couple

224
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: more of these cuts because I think it's important for

225
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: you to actually hear what's considered controversial in America today.

226
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: I always make jokes about this, but it's true. Every

227
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: article about me that's been written in the last decade

228
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: describes me as controversial, and I always say I think

229
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm the least controversial person on the planet. I really

230
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: mean that. I don't even think I have a crazy

231
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: controversial opinion in terms of society at large. I think

232
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: we just live in such a profoundly inauthentic and dishonest

233
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: era that when you actually say the truth, there are

234
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: so few people who are willing to say it that

235
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: it's greeted as if it's controversy. And that is I

236
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: think what's happening to Harrison Pucker right now. If you

237
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: own a home with plenty of trees on that property,

238
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: you've likely encountered rain gutter cleaning dilemmas total mess. Before

239
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: you get on a ladder, consider a permanent solution with

240
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: leaf filter. I've been telling you guys, ever really climb

241
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: up on a high ladder if you don't do it

242
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: for a living, it's pretty intimidating. Every time I have

243
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: ever gotten up on a ladder, and trust me, I

244
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: do not get up on ladders that often. Once you're

245
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: like six or seven feet in the air, You're like, yeah,

246
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: this could not go very well. When I'm changing light

247
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: bulbs or when I'm trying to get the whiffleballs out

248
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: of the gutter and I actually get up high enough

249
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: in the air and I think to myself, ooh, this ladder,

250
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's very sturdy. That's what leaf Filter

267
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: play you some more of this Harrison Bucker controversy, but

268
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: I was stunn credit to the crew, My good buddy,

269
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: Whoopy Goldberg, she's got Harrison Bunker's back. Politics does sometimes

270
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: make strange bedfellows. Listen, all right, Sorry, that's cut thirty.

271
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna play that when we come back. I give

272
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: credit to what Pe Goldberg. Let me read this instead.

273
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: I saw this and I just shared it on Twitter

274
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: from Amber Harding, who I thought did a really good

275
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: job laying this out. Well we got whoo whoopee. Now

276
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: let's play whoopee.

277
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 4: I like when people say what they need to say.

278
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: He's at a Catholic college. He's a staunch Catholic. These

279
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: are his beliefs, and he's welcome to them.

280
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't have to believe him.

281
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: I don't have to accept them. The ladies that were

282
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: sitting in that audience do.

283
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Not have to accept them.

284
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: The same way we want respect when Colin Kaepernack takes

285
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: a knee right.

286
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: We want to give.

287
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: Respect to people whose ideas are different from ours. So

288
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: I'm okay with him saying whatever he says, and the

289
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 4: women who are sitting there, if they take his advice.

290
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: Good for them, they'll be happy.

291
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 4: If they don't, good for them, they'll be happy and

292
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: different with us.

293
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: That's my advocude. I give one hundred credit to whoopee there.

294
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: That's really well said. It rarely happens. Woopy Goldberg and

295
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,399

00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: Say Clay and Buck, that's pound two five zero Clay

313
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: and Buck.

314
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Lines of truth.

315
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We're talking

316
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: about the massive controversy that has come from here Harrison

317
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Butker praising his wife for staying home with their kids

318
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: and saying that she is a huge backbone of his success.

319
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Amber Duke has tweeted this out. I shared it. I

320
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: think we retweeted it from Clay and Buck. I thought

321
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: it's so well said here. I'm going to read her

322
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: post on Twitter. What's so infuriating about the backlash to

323
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Harrison Butker's commencement speech is he did not say women

324
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: have to stay in the kitchen, or whatever other false

325
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: pejoratives people have projected onto his comments. He was very

326
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: clear that many of the women in the audience would

327
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: go on to have fruitful and satisfying careers, but for

328
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: most women, they will be happier focusing on family. This

329
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: is a fact. Married mothers are happier than any other

330
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: cohort of women. Today, women are waiting longer to get

331
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: married and have children. Many are opting out of the

332
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: process entirely having been convinced they don't need a man

333
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: or they children will ruin their lives. It's not a

334
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: coincidence that young women today are facing a mental health

335
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: crisis like nothing we've ever seen before. I thought that

336
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: was really, really well said by her. Now I want

337
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: to play a couple of more cuts. You remember when

338
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: I said how controversial, how controversial I'm considered to be.

339
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: Now suddenly butker is super controversial? And then I always

340
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: push back whenever a media outlet is doing a story

341
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: on me and they say, well, you're really controversial, I say, Okay,

342
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: what do I believe that you actually think is controversial?

343
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Is believing that women's athletics should only be played by women?

344
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Controversial maybe because there's so many cowards out there in

345
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: the world of sports who won't say it. Is believing

346
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: that kids do better in a two parent household if

347
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: one parent can stay home and focus entirely on the kids.

348
00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: Is that actually really controversial? Is that? Is I believe

349
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: something that almost every man and woman with a multiple children,

350
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: for sure in America today would aspire to. And I'm

351
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: not saying, by the way that it has to be

352
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: the woman who stays home. Some women out there make

353
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: way more money than the men. If you start looking

354
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: around and you're a man and you're making thirty five

355
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year and your wife is making a

356
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: half million dollars a year, and you're paying sixty thousand

357
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: dollars for childcare, it's not crazy to think, you know,

358
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe I could be the stay at home person. You know,

359
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: my mom worked. She took off seven years when my

360
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: sister and I were born, and then she worked. My

361
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: grandma worked. My grandma was a school teacher in Georgia.

362
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: She drove from Chattanooga, Tennessee, down to Georgia because they

363
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: paid better in Georgia. That was kind of unheard of.

364
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Then my grandfather worked in the combustion factory down there.

365
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: He said. My grandfather worked for a living, and she

366
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: worked to make life worth living. I think there are

367
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of women out there and a lot of

368
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: men out there that understand that, and they wish they

369
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: lived in a better economic situation such that prices weren't

370
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: skyrocketing and everybody didn't have to work. If you're fortunate

371
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: enough to be in a position where you can have

372
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: one parent not have to work. It's an incredible luxury.

373
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: I personally, I tell you I felt awful when I

374
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: was dropping my kids off at school because I wasn't

375
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: successful enough as a man to be able to have

376
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: my wife not need to work. Not need to work. Okay,

377
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: people can still choose to work. What we've gotten in

378
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: this country is so soft that if somebody says, hey,

379
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: I've got advice, it's a freaking commencement address where you

380
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: go and give life advice to younger people if they

381
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: have a different worldview than you, that's not an attack

382
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: on you. If you want to hire eight nannies and

383
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: you and your spouse want to work eighty hours a week,

384
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: both you can do it. I would suggest that your

385
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: kids probably statistically are not going to be as good

386
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: off ultimately as they would be if they had their

387
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: actual parents helping them. And I understand that some of

388
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: you are single parents and you really don't have the luxury.

389
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: It's not an attack on single parenthood to say kids

390
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: in general do better with two parents. Sometimes that's not true.

391
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were both raised by single women.

392
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: They ended up president of the United States. But as

393
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: a general nature, people always respond to general natures by saying, well,

394
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: that's not true. No, no, your anecdote might not reflect

395
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: the larger society, but it doesn't mean the larger society

396
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: example isn't true. If I said men are generally taller

397
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: than women, would you all email and be like, well,

398
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: that's not true. I'm taller than my husband. Okay, your

399
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: husband may be shorter than normal. You might be a

400
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: super tall woman. It doesn't change the fact that men

401
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: are generally taller than women. Your anecdote doesn't repudiate the

402
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: overall larger story. You might be the outlier. I want

403
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: to play, though, give credit to WHOOPI Goldberg absolutely nailing

404
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: it there. I want to play more of the incredibly

405
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: controversial Harrison Butker Catholic College address. All right, I want

406
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: you to hear what is considered to be completely unacceptable,

407
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: so much so that the NFL has to condemn this.

408
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: What did Harrison Butker actually say? Well, I played when

409
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: he almost started crying talking about how much he loved

410
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: his wife and how impressive and important her contract abution

411
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: of their family had been. Here he is saying gender

412
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: ideology is a real issue, and he went after Joe

413
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Biden this is his personal political opinion. Cut twenty six.

414
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: Our own nation is led by a man who publicly

415
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same

416
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: time is delusional enough to make the sign of the

417
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: cross during a pro abortion rally. From the man behind

418
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies

419
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring

420
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: thing in common. They are Catholic. This is an important

421
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: reminder that being Catholic alone doesn't cut it. These are

422
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: the sorts of things we are told in polite society

423
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: to not bring up, you know, the difficult and unpleasant things.

424
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: But if we are going to be men and women

425
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: for this time and history, we need to stop pretending

426
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: that the Church of Nice is a winning proposition.

427
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Boom, I Buck is Catholic. Buck's not on today because

428
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of stuff we're doing now outside

429
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: of the show, and he's traveling today. Buck might end

430
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: up with a Harrison Butker Jersey before all is said

431
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: and done, because he believes a ton of this stuff.

432
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: He's Catholic. I don't know that he's even heard these

433
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: all these clips yet. But after we played the one yesterday,

434
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: he was like, oh man, I'm fired up about this.

435
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Listen to another one. Everybody's talking about what Harrison Bucker

436
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: said about the incredible contributions of his wife to their family.

437
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: But he also called out men who have allowed themselves

438
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: to be emasculated by modern culture. Listen to Cut twenty seven.

439
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: To the gentleman here today. Part of what plagues our

440
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: society is this lie that has been told to you

441
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: that men are not necessary in the home or in

442
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture.

443
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: And when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in.

444
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: This absence of men in the home is what plays

445
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: a large role in the violence we see all around

446
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same

447
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: absentee father rates as we find here in the US,

448
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower

449
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: violence rates as well. Be unapologetic in your masculinity fighting

450
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: against the cultural emasculation of men.

451
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: Do hard things, never settle for what is easy. I

452
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: mean that's controversial. Of course it isn't. And I think

453
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: and I hope that so many young people in America

454
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: are realizing to what extent they have been lied to.

455
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Social media is the most artificial construct that has ever

456
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: existed in most of our lives. Thirty percent of women

457
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: have thought about teenage girls have thought about killing themselves

458
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: in the last year. Thirty percent. Does that sound like

459
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: a society to you that is doing well? If you

460
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: have a teenage girl in your family, there is nearly

461
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: a one in three chance that she's thought about killing

462
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: herself in the last year. Does that seem like a

463
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: society that's telling women really constructive, healthy things. Of course

464
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: not yet. If you actually address it and try to

465
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: come up with a solution. Oh, it's controversial, Harrison. Butker

466
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: didn't say to the graduates there, hey, fail in your

467
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: careers and go get barefoot and pregnant and stay in

468
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: the kitchen. He said something that I think most people

469
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: recognize men and women. Career success is fleeting. It is,

470
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: and I say that to you on the biggest radio

471
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: show in the country, having sold my multimedia company for

472
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. What I care about is my

473
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: three boys. What is going to be my legacy, cars, houses, success,

474
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: material things, None of them last. There's nothing wrong with

475
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: being ambitious, and pursuing success and embracing capitalism with every

476
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: fiber of your being to advance your family. I believe

477
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: in all of those things, but without a foundational goal,

478
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: it's very empty, and so I think a lot of

479
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: people out there recognize this at some point in their career.

480
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: There's a reason why on your deathbed, nobody says, boy,

481
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I really wish I could have gotten

482
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: that vice president title in my corporation. That would have

483
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: really made me feel better here as I'm about to die.

484
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Nobody says that you ever hear anybody say that you're

485
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: eighty five years old, you're on your deathbed, Boy, that

486
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: VP that would have made me the seventy sixth most

487
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: important person in a moderately successful corporation. Boy, I just

488
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: wish i'd really grasp that brass ring. What are your

489
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: regrets in life? Well, I was the eighty sixth most

490
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: important person at my company. If I'd really done a

491
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: lot better, I could have been the seventy fourth. I

492
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people say that we've lost

493
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: grip on what legacy and success is. And this is

494
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: why I'm so fired up, and sometimes I feel like

495
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm screaming at the clouds and nobody else. I'm the

496
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: old man shaking his fist at the clouds. This is

497
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: why nobody's having babies. This is why humanity's population is collapsing.

498
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: Having kids can be hard, raising them can be hard.

499
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: It's incredibly gratifying. A lot of people don't want to

500
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: do hard things anymore. A lot of people in America

501
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: and around the world don't want to do hard things,

502
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: and as a result, humanity's collapsing. Everybody's always talking about

503
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: global warming. Oh my goodness. I don't worry at all

504
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: about the temperature of the Earth. I worry about whether

505
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be humans on it. If you want

506
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: to talk about existential threats to society, go look at

507
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: the graphs. Once women stop having two point two children

508
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: per woman, the population in the world collapses in a hurry.

509
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that hardly anyone is addressing it,

510
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: or it's considered controversial if you even mentioned gender roles,

511
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: is a bigger reason why a lot of women don't

512
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: like men and a lot of men don't like women

513
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: right now. And I think a lot of it has

514
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: to do with gender roles. You know, women get sixty

515
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: percent of all college graduate degrees. Now they can't find

516
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: men that have the same educational level as then, they're unhappy.

517
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: Men can't find women who want to have a baby.

518
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: They're unhappy. I saw a stat the other day some places,

519
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: thirty percent of thirty year old men are virgins. Thirty percent.

520
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: They made the movie The forty year Old Virgin to

521
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: mock the fact that that could have ever happened. Now

522
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: men can't even have sex anymore. Women don't like him,

523
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: men don't like The whole construct of society is collapsing.

524
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: And I feel like many people out there are narrow

525
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: with the violin in rome, watching as everything burns down,

526
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: actually concerned about things that don't go to the root

527
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: causes of our cultural collapse. But anyway, I tend to

528
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: be an optimist. But when I see this reaction to

529
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: Harrison Butker, I think it's important that people actually take

530
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: up verbal arms and actually defend him, because what he's saying,

531
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: what do you actually disagree with? Maybe there's people out

532
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: there who agree with something that he said, that's fine,

533
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: But did anything that he said actually even approach the

534
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: possibility of controversy? In my mind, the fact that this

535
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: is considered controversial. Is why so much of American society

536
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: is falling apart. We've conflated controversy and truth. Hard truths

537
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: aren't allowed to be spoken in this country anymore because

538
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: some people's feelings are going to be hurt, and as

539
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: a result, the whole country goes to hell. I don't

540
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: really care if your feelings are hurt. My goal in

541
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: life is not to avoid hurting your feelings. If that happens,

542
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: I grow up. Remember we used to say sticks and

543
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

544
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Now all we do is focus on words over actions.

545
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: I said it, Harrison Bucker would have been better off

546
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: being accused of sexual assault or getting a DUI. Then

547
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: he would be to tear up praising his wife for

548
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: being a homemaker. It's crazy. We're in an upside down world.

549
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you Bucks away, he'll be

550
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: back with us tomorrow. But Buck took on a bunch

551
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: of different media projects before he and I partnered on

552
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: this program, and one of them was co hosting a

553
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: podcast years ago with an economics expert by the name

554
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: of Porter Stansbury. Porter studies our economy and world events

555
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: like few do. I think it's fair to say he

556
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: helped shape Bucks views of our nation's economy and how

557
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: it's affected by politics and world events. Porter Stansbury has

558
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: predicted almost every major economic and financial move in both

559
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: directions for the past twenty five years, exposing corruption at

560
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: the heart of major automobile companies and warning of the

561
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: collapse of major lenders. And he helped predict the two

562
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: thousand and eight financial crisis. I tell all of you

563
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 1: this because he just released a new documentary worth checking

564
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: out documentaries called Last Election Plot, details how a new

565
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: financial crisis could be brewing and the dangers that could

566
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: pose in America. So if you own stocks, bonds, have

567

Speaker 1: cash in the bank, you'll want to watch this documentary

Speaker 1: Deluged by reaction, A lot of you want to weigh in.

575
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I'll take some of your calls in the next hour

576
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: eight hundred and two A two two eight A two.

577
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: I'll catch up as well. Good to see a lot

578
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: of you coming to Harrison Butker's defense, and I still

579
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: again the NFL deciding that his comments on masculinity, femininity,

580
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: and his view of how the world would be better

581
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: if people embraced Catholic ideology who were actually Catholic while

582
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: speaking at a Catholic commencement ceremony is encouraging. I know

583
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of great sanity still in this audience

584
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: out there, and I would encourage you not to be

585
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: afraid to raise your voices and defend people who speak

586
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: out and then suffer the slings and arrows as a result.

587
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: As right now Harrison Pucker is. We'll talk more about that.

588
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: We're also going to invite Harrison Bucker on the program.

589
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: By the way, producer Ali going to reach out and

590
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: be able to extend and invite to him to come

591
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: and speak to you. We'll see whether or not he

592
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: wants to do that, but certainly that invitation is going

593
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: to be extended. When we come back, we'll take some

594
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: of your calls. Reminder, there's news out there about the

595
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: vice presidential debate. Also Joe Biden saying that he's not

596
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: going to release the audio from the special her, the

597
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: Robert Hurr investigation, the special counsel. We need to talk

598
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: about that as well. Tulca Gabbard will join us. She's

599
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: in the mix for the VP. We will discuss all

600
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: that with her and more here on Clay and Buck
