1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody to the Tuesday Clay

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. A lot of news and

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: you know this is going to be the case every

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: day until election Day. We have super tight, critical races

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: that could go either way. And we'll be joined later

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: on in the program today by Tutor Dixon, who's running

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: for the Michigan governor's seat. And I gotta say Governor

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Whitmer is among the great villains of the pandemic. And

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: so even as a New Yorker who hasn't spent too

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: much time, I've been to Michigan and Central Michigan is America.

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: That's where I was, Central Michigan, or obviously where were

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: you in Michigan. I gave a speech in central Michigan

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Like right in this if it's

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: a glove, right in the center of the hand. My

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: wife is from the Detroit area suburbs north of Oakland County.

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: We're like we got married, we got engaged at Mackinaw Island,

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: northern Michigan. And as you approach the Upper Peninsula in

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: the summer is one of the most fabulous places in

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: the United States. It's a hidden jewel. I wouldn't have

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: known about it if I hadn't married a girl from Michigan.

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: But we absolutely love it. And I was up when

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: I was in Michigan buck on the family vacation near Mackinaw,

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: when Tutor Dixon won the primary to officially become the

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: nominee to take on Gretchen Whimmer. So I was just

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I was outside of Grand Rapids about thirty forty minutes.

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: So that's that was my Michigan experience. Point being, the

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: people of Michigan deserved better, even the ones who are

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Democrats that are so foolish that they would vote for Whitmer.

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: They deserve not to be under the whitless tyrant Whitmer.

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: So we will talk to Tutor dickon cool name by

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: the way, you know what I mean, it's a cool name.

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm just there's a lot of let mean, if this

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: wore Democrats, there are a ton of badass statewide Republican

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: candidate moms, and I haven't seen a single New York

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Times article about how the rise of the Republican moms.

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Suburban moms who have fed up with COVID. I mean,

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: you look just at an example, Buck Michigan with Tutor Dixon,

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Christine Draisen in Oregon. You've got Tiffany Smiley running a

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: whale of a campaign in Washington. I was with Marsha

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Blackburn last night, Senator Blackburn Buck, and she said that

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Tiffany Smiley is as good of a candidate as she

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: has ever seen running for the Senate. Very impressive. This

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: is why we keep bringing these bringing these voices onto

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: this program so you can hear all across the country

46
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: and certainly in the states where they're running, because these

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: are winnable folks. So we could have at the end

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: of it all, the swing won't be as big because

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: the gains can't be as large, but at the end

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: of it all, we could be in certainly the best

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: position Republicans could be in the best position they've seen

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: since two thousand and ten. I think that's that's very doable.

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: And when you look at the state races and governor's

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: mansions and state legislatures, we could be an even in

55
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: an even stronger position depending on how all this stuff,

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: how all this stuff goes, I know you're gonna deep

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: dive specifically It's funny, you know. We all have the

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: races in this business that we dive into. Particularly, I mean,

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I find fetterman Oz utterly fascinating. I know you think

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: that's an important one too, But I'm looking into that

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: war on on a day to day basis to watch

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: every little move that Fetterman's making, like the scrubbing of

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: BLM from his website, for example, which came out yesterday.

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about BLM in a second. You're all in

65
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: on Herschel Walker winning in Georgia, and there's a lot

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: of Herschel news and some Warnock news from the last

67
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: twenty four hours for the state of Georgia and for

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: control of the Senate. This is critical, so we're gonna

69
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: get into all that. Clay will set up that deep

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: dive into the Herschel v. Warnock situation. We're gonna have,

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: as I said Tutor Dixon for Michigan on later, we're

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back out to our friends in

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Arizona and Nevada. Clay, We're gonna have to have back

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: on Masters and Laxalt. These are all winnable folks, winnable

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: at this stage, and we do the right things Now

76
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned the scrubbing of BLM from the Fetterman website,

77
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: which hat tip. I think it was Jack Possobic who

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: I saw that from on social media. And this is

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: interesting because it comes at a time where Clay We've

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: been hammering the crime issue, the numbers and just and

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the truth behind the numbers, the policy decisions that led

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: to unthinkable rise in crime and violence in cities all

83
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: across the country, in rural areas too. It's gotten really bad.

84
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: And BLM played a role in all of this. What's

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: interesting is now you have Democrat politicians who are running

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: from BLM. Right before an election, people that were putting

87
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: up BLM hashtags. Remember Nancy Pelosi kneeling in kente cloth?

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Remember these you know, these liberal

89
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: elites wrapped in kente cloth bending then literally bending the

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: knee taking photos because BLM mattered so much to them.

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Now the Democrat Party is running scared from those three initials,

92
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: from that whole movement. And Kanye West. Now, I know

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: people have a lot of feelings about Kanye. He does

94
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: write some very catchy tunes, but people have a lot

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: of feelings about I think they're I think they're catchy, um,

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: but they they I think Kanye is fabulously talented as music.

97
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's very good at what he does.

98
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Who disliked Kanye West would have to acknowledge that he is,

99
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: from a musical perspective, insanely talented, right, I mean, I

100
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him to be the chairman of the Joint

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff, but I think he's a talented musician.

102
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Should feel that way about almost any music. I also,

103
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: I don't trust the current like doing anything that, you know,

104
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: running the second the health department either, you know, I mean,

105
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't musicians in general. People talked about him

106
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: running for president. I don't think, by the way, the

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: current chairman of the Joint Chiefs is a good choice either.

108
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: So we got a whole bunch of problems. But Kanye

109
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: over what was this over the weekend? I'm trying to

110
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: get the date right here. He was at a fashion

111
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: show in Paris. I think that's right, Yes, Parish, Yeah,

112
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: Paris Week fashion show. I have never been invited, which

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: is just such a slap in the face because I

114
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: am all about the fashion. T shirts, sweatshirts. Yeah, but

115
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: he wore a White Lives Matter sweatshirt. Candice Owen's our

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: friend was right there with him, also photographed in a

117
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: White Lives Matter sweatshirt. And then Kanye's quote here is

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: everyone knows. This is the quote from Kanye West. Everyone

119
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: knows Black Lives Matter was a scam. And I see

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: it here and I say, if he's talking about the

121
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: organization and the millions of dollars, yes, yes, it was

122
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: a scam. And if he's talking about meaning a political scam,

123
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: as in this was emotion over reason that did nothing

124
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: good for anyone, also true Clay, what a reckoning BLM

125
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: has had. Yeah. What I would say about Kanye is

126
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: this artists in general should provoke conversation, and they should

127
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: be enmeshed in some way in nuance, because art without

128
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 1: nuance is propaganda. Right, doesn't mean that it still can't

129
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: be impressive, but art without nuance, just think about it propaganda.

130
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: And what I have seen in America is that the

131
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: creative class buck the people who would have been at

132
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: Woodstock in the nineteen sixties, are overwhelmingly now the creative

133
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: class in the back pocket of big government, in the

134
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: back pocket of big business. They are the least rebellious

135
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: creative class that America has ever created. I mean, just

136
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: think about this big hypothesis. Think about whether you, depending

137
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: on your age, woodstock, the Muhammad Ali's of the world

138
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: were rebels standing up against a larger power structure. Most

139
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: of our artists today are more stable aspects of the

140
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: existing power structure. And BLM is not a rebellious process.

141
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: When your deodorant company is sending you out an email

142
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: saying we stand with BLM, this is not a controversial process. Well,

143
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: it's interesting because we often hear about the threats to

144
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: our democracy, and no matter how someone sounds when they

145
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: say it, that's how it processes in my head. Because

146
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the threats to our democracy come with three masks, five

147
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Ukraine flags, and announced pronouns. It's amazing how those things,

148
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: all those things all go together. You know, on the

149
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: menu of the lib you gotta have Ukraine mask, vaccination

150
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: needles in your Twitter profile, double mask walking outside. We

151
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: all know this, right, but the people that say this.

152
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: One of the challenges that I always made to the

153
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: narrative of Trump is such a tyrant, an authoritarian, a fascist.

154
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: The entire media was opposed to him and got more

155
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: famous and more Rich based upon their unhinged opposition to him.

156
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: I actually spend a lot of I'm a little strange

157
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: this way. I've spent a lot of time reading about

158
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: totalitariatives and specifically the Soviet Union, and I find it fascinating.

159
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I find it fascinating because it's a window into how

160
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: evil in the modern world can exist at that level

161
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: and exert that amount of control. And you know what's

162
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: always the case, Clay, the authoritarians in the in the

163
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: political sphere have the media and the artists and everybody

164
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: else doing their bidding. Now which side of the political

165
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: spectrum does that actually apply to? It? Ain't conservatism exactly right?

166
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: And Buck, I'll build on this. In college, I got

167
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: into a totalitarian film study circle right, this is awesome. Yeah.

168
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: I took um German uh German films, multiple German films,

169
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: courses about the rise of Hitler, Lenny Reef installed the

170
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: way that they used Hitler and the Nazis film in

171
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: order to convey majesty to their cause. Uh and also

172
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Russian cinema. No, no, none, okay, But our professor was

173
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: a Soviet refugee who had been a child actor in

174
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: uh In. He was an amazing professor. He had been

175
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: a child actor in these totalitarian cinemas in the Soviet

176
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Union when he was a kid, and so his thesis

177
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: and he was I mean, it was brilliant. His thesis

178
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: was that totalitari aryan regimes all create the same kind

179
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: of films and build off of each other. So the German,

180
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: the Russian, and it really is a window into how

181
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: the how the the larger classes come to see the

182
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: country and the struggle, so to speak. And what. Let

183
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: me just go back to Kanye first. Sect here, Buck

184
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: and I bet there's not very many people who have

185
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: watched as much Russian cinema and uh and and and German.

186
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: You've got to give us a wreck. I mean, first

187
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: of all, is this is a whole other comeback. I

188
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: love this with more than civil war camp, like you

189
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: were in a totalitarian film school session, Like this is

190
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: all hit you with this. I can already see USA

191
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: today is going to have a story like Nazi film

192
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: enthusiast Clay Travis Wax is eloquent on German cinema on

193
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck Show. Just get ready for it.

194
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: But let me just hit you with this. I'll tell

195
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: you a couple of movie suggestions when we come back

196
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: on that that old school Let me just hit you

197
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: with this. People were getting fired for saying all lives matter,

198
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: for saying anything, for saying white lives matter, that was unacceptable.

199
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: That was an assault. Kanye is in speaking out alongside

200
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: of kandas Owen, who's also very smart. They are attacking

201
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: the liberal hegemony here that you could only say black

202
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: lives matter and pointing out, as great artist would like Kanye,

203
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: the absurdity of some of the lines that are being

204
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: drawn in our country, particularly as they pertain to identity politics.

205
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: And I would say Buck, a great artist should truly

206
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: be criticized all the time because you are not pushing

207
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: forward thought and challenging people's perspectives if you're only being praised.

208
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: This is one of these moments where you know it's

209
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: having the two of us sit here. I would assume

210
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: this story, like my big thing from the story is

211
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: BLM is now something that people can say was a scam.

212
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Never mind, I've been saying that it made everything worse

213
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: for everybody. You see this more as an artist in

214
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Kanye breaking with the authoritarian mold of American artists, music, etc.

215
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: Today interested in You know, we both see this thing

216
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, this is this is BLM has

217
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,119
Speaker 1: become politically toxic. And you say, this is artists actually

218
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: doing what artists are supposed to do. Fascinating. Yeah, And

219
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I would say this too for people out there who

220
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: don't listen to Kanye's music. Kanye's early music is very

221
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: religious and spiritual. And one of the things that he

222
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: would say is they say, you know, and again I'm paraphrasing,

223
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: but you can't make a song about how much you

224
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: love Jesus and have it show up on radio for airplay.

225
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: And that was provocative. Kanye was willing to look at

226
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: his religious faith and say I'm going to mix this

227
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: with the app world in a provocative way, which others

228
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: were not. So I now also know something new about you.

229
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Some people just won't watch I wonder if you speak

230
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Russian or German at all, because if you're watching movies

231
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: in that language, you're going to be reading a lot

232
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: of subtitles, right, So you're a foreign language movie subtitle

233
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: enthusiast just like me. I will say this, Buck, I'm

234
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: actually a subtitle enthusiast in English. I was going to

235
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: ask you about this like, I watched this new House

236
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: of the Dragon show and I'm getting to be an

237
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: old man and my wife makes fun of me, and

238
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: I can't hear the dialogue. Well, and I'm even thinking

239
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: because my kids buck. I know I've talked about this

240
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: with you. One of them will not read. I'm not

241
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: sure that he's twelve. I'm not sure he's ever actually

242
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: read a book. I mean, this is this is a

243
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: major issue in our household. Right I'm thinking about making

244
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: him have to read his television shows, so at least

245
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: he's getting used to that process. It's driving me crazy.

246
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: He's driving me crazy. No substitute or hard work out.

247
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: There no true shortcuts. That being said, you know what

248
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: testosterone helps, and it'll help you to have better energy,

249
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: better vitality, them vigor, all of it. Be the anti

250
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden Whitehouse. Right now, you're looking around, You're saying,

251
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's a disaster. Everything he touches, his turn to crap. Well,

252
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: maybe the guy could help himself out if he just

253
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: had a little bit of testosterone. Look, I want Chalk

254
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: to send I don't want Secret Service to show up,

255
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: but I would like for them to send free testosterone

256
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: to the Biden White House. Just a gift, big bow.

257
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: Send it right up there. Any Democrat who wants it.

258
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: They can also get into the Senate. They can get

259
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: into the House. Make a difference for all those loser

260
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Democrats with no testosterone. In fact, maybe it'll make them

261
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,400

270
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: probably weren't expecting when he started off the show today

271
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: that I would give you German and Russian old movies

272
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: to check out. But I want to give a shout

273
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: really quickly. My professor at GW who exposed us to

274
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: all these films. I took courses with him, Peter Rohlberg,

275
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: still there at George Washington University, and he was a

276
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: fantastic professor, and so I want to make sure that

277
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: I give him a shout out. He's written books about all.

278
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm jealous. If I could teach a class

279
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: in school, it probably be espionage would be the first one,

280
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: but then the second one would probably be totalitarianism. You know,

281
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I taught creative writing at Vanderbilt when I was getting

282
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: my masters in creative writing. So that's one of the

283
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: coolest jobs. If we have a pretty cool job now,

284
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: but to being a teacher is a pretty fun opportunity,

285
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: especially on a campus, if you've got a decent class. Okay,

286
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: here a quick hits buck Russian film by Sergei Eisenstein,

287
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: The Battleship and again my pronunciation may be off Battleship

288
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Potempkin which which is? Which is a fabulous story about

289
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: sort of a mutiny on a on a Russian ship. Um,

290
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: fabulously well done. Silent film. These are silent films before

291
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: there was even in any noise allowed, uh from German cinema.

292
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple nos Ferratu, which was the

293
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: first horror movie at Draculum. Now that's right. I wrote

294
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: a paper in college on the comparisons between Bram Stoker's

295
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Dracula and FW. Murnau's nos Ferrato very basically first horror

296
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: movie ever, and the Cabinet of Doctor Kaligari, which is

297
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: a super famous German expressionism film. There are three right there.

298
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Have you seen any of these? I have you know?

299
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: I took German for a couple of years in school.

300
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I remember nothing. I remember brought first like I have

301
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: no I took Arabic, I took German, I took French,

302
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: the French. I remember a little bit of people have

303
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: to check out the lives of others, and downfall and

304
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: the depth of Stalin is English language. It's also very good.

305
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: We're living through a tough year economically. You know that,

306
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: you feel like I do. I mean the price of food, clothing, gas,

307
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: you name it. The only company I know of that

324
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: talk to you about the situation in Ukraine with Russia

325
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: and a foreign policy establishment consensus that we're closer to

326
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 1: a nuclear war or a nuclear strike at least than

327
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: we have been at any time in decades. But in

328
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the meantime, CNN, just so you know, was on the

329
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: really important stories, quoting Liz Cheney. Just now that the

330
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: GOP is embracing the insurrection even more, CNN really with

331
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: their finger on the pulse. We've got an economy crater,

332
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: in crime everywhere, a wide open border inflation so high

333
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: that people are running up credit card debt, can't pay

334
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: their bills, can't afford gas and food. But let's go

335
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: to Liz Cheney now for her thoughts on the insurrection.

336
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: They're completely still at CNN out of their minds. But

337
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: there was breaking news right in the commercial break before

338
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: we get to the Russia Ukraine situation, the war over there.

339
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, This is from the New York Post proposed

340
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: Twitter deal going through at the forty four billion dollars

341
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: ask price. I have so many thoughts on this, but

342
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: nobody I know is more up to speed and more

343
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: fired up about the Twitter acquisition than my main man,

344
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: Clay Travis. Sir, what say you about this? Breaking news?

345
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: You want to talk about range from German film discussion

346
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: and Russian film discussion to what's going to happen with Twitter.

347
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: It appears, based on a Bloomberg report that Elon Musk

348
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: has proposed going ahead with the purchase. This has been

349
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: a tumultuous story, and I understand a lot of people

350
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: out there like why does this matter? I do think

351
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: if this happens, it's significant and it's a big win

352
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: four team reality for our side, for team sanity. The

353
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: stock price surged on a report that Elon Musk, remember

354
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: they were going to have a trial in about two

355
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: weeks in a Delaware over whether this could go through

356
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. Fifty four dollars and twenty cents was his

357
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: proposed purchase price, and then the stock price fell all

358
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: the way I'm looking right now, buck to around thirty

359
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: two dollars to share in early July when Musk said

360
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: he was going to walk away from the deal. And

361
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: as soon as this came out from Bloomberg, who obviously

362
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: is very well plugged in Bloomberg News in the market

363
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: based economy, stock price surged nearly six points. It was

364
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: then paused they're not allowing trading to take place on

365
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: Twitter pending news. But it appears that Elon Musk may

366
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: be very close to officially buying Twitter as this trial

367
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: date was getting closer. I believe October seventeenth was the

368
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: first date set for the trial in front of the

369
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: judge in Chancery Quarter, if I'm not mistaken in Delaware.

370
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: So this is a This would be a big deal

371
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: for Team Reality, for Team Sanity, for those of us

372
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: who want to be able to share our actual opinions

373
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: on social media. So put a pen in it. That

374
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: is breaking news and we will keep you updated as

375
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: more evidence or data comes out related to this story.

376
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: I would love to be able to use Twitter without

377
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: the constant throttling and restrictions and suspensions and all the

378
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: nonsense that's gone on. But more than that, Clay, I

379
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: honestly get or maybe equally excited, I should say about

380
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: the prospect of finally, after years and years of one

381
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: of the big three social media platforms, right Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

382
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: finally be able to see what kind of in kind

383
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: donations to Democrats. Twitter was really making by throttling certain accounts,

384
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: by limiting the reach of certain ideas, and we all

385
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: know about the Hunter Biden laptop. I would ask everybody

386
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to think about this. They did that openly. Now, if

387
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: we get in there and have somebody who wants to

388
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: do a full audit and Knowing can say no because

389
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: he owns it, he's the boss. We do a full

390
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: audit of Twitter, you will see, in my opinion, that

391
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: Twitter was engaged in the most massive campaign of election

392
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: interference and propaganda for Democrats that we have ever seen

393
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: in the modern history of this country. That is what

394
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: I believe we will find out. I think you're right. Okay,

395
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: we do have official breaking news now, Buck, This is

396
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: from the Wall Street Journal. Just popped up as an alert, Elon.

397
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just read the article. This is from CAA.

398
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Lombardo at the Wall Street Journal. Elon Musk has offered

399
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: to close his forty four billion dollars deal to buy

400
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: Twitter on the terms he originally agreed to, according to

401
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: a person familiar with the matter, an unexpected twist that

402
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: could allow the two sides to avert a high stakes

403
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: trial set to begin soon. The article here says that

404
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: Musk's lawyers sent that proposal to Twitter's lawyers overnight Monday,

405
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: filed a letter confidentially with the Delaware Chancery Court ahead

406
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: of an emergency hearing scheduled for Tuesday. If Twitter accept

407
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: accepted the proposal, and I don't know why they wouldn't, Buck,

408
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: If this Wall Street Journal report is correct that Elon

409
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: Musk has agreed to buy on the terms that he

410
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: originally agreed to, then two sides would not have their

411
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: October seventeenth trial. Again, the stock has been pulled off

412
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the market. But that is Wall Street Journal. And the

413
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: interesting trajectory of this story, Buck, was remember what happened Initially?

414
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: It was the Blue check left wing brigade said, oh

415
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: my god, we can't have Elon Musk buy Twitter. He's

416
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna let people say whatever they want on the platform.

417
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: And then Musk kind of outplayed him and said, okay,

418
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: I'll pay forty four billion dollars for the company. Here's

419
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: my offer, and then he tried to walk away, and

420
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: the same blue check mark brigade was like, who does

421
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Elon Musk think he is? He just he could buy Twitter,

422
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: and now he could walk away, so we could end

423
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: up back with the blue check brigade being angry before

424
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: all is said and done. But this is again breaking news.

425
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: But that's from the late absolute latest from the Wall

426
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: Street Journal. I think, though this is it's be fascinating

427
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: to see how this actually goes. I mean, it would

428
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: be like, you know, if you had been banned from

429
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: a country club or denied entrance to a country club,

430
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, year after year, and then you finally got

431
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: to look at the books of the of the committee

432
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: to see why they weren't letting you in. For a

433
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: lot of conservatives on social media, the opportunity to see

434
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Elon I will I know people

435
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: obviously are in contact with them I know you do too.

436
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: I will push to make sure that Elon allows everybody

437
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: who has an account on Twitter should know every manipulation

438
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: that was done to their account, either specifically or via algorithm.

439
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: You should have full transparency because there are there are

440
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: total jackasses on the left that you know they have

441
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: all this reach and this big Twitter foll I'm like,

442
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: no one knows or likes this person, even on the left.

443
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: This is totally this is malarkey. Well for people out there,

444
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: remember how much people you and me saw our accounts grow.

445
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: Literally when Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter, there was

446
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: an immediate spike in the number of not crazy left

447
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: wing journo followers. And then as this debate has gone on,

448
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: it really I mean, Twitter has kind of stultified, but

449
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen much movement in terms of big

450
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: numbers one way or the other. But I agree with you.

451
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: I think Elon Musk, if he buys this company and

452
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: opens up the books and says, okay, we're gonna have

453
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: a public algorithm, now you'll see who we have artificially

454
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: inflated at Twitter, who we have been in the favored

455
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: nation camp by allowing them to amass a substantial following,

456
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: and what that has done to our marketplace of ideas

457
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: an actual discourse in this country. I think, look, at

458
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: some point, this was my argument for why Elon should

459
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: buy Twitter buck. If you remember, at some point you

460
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: have so much money if you are Elon Musk, that

461
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: you have to start to think about the world that

462
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: you are going to leave behind, and your kids are

463
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: so taken care of that you don't even mean the

464
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: difference between being a billionaire and being worth ten billion

465
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: dollars like for your kids, like who caress nothing? Yeah? Yes,

466
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: this is also where there's this very interesting dynamic, and

467
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: everybody listening to this knows exactly what I'm talking about. Somehow,

468
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: the right is all in favor of free speech and

469
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: the free exchange of ideas. The left is terrified of it.

470
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: The idea that you and I could argue our points

471
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: and say what we want to say without fear of

472
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: banning or restriction or shadow banning or any of it

473
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: drives the left crazy. Why is that? Is it because

474
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: their arguments are so good? Is it because they're actually

475
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: so rooted in fact and reason? I don't think. So

476
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: let me leave you with this question too. As we

477
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: go for everybody to think about, when has the side

478
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: that has favored censorship ever ended up being on the

479
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: right side of history world history? Basically in the end, Yeah,

480
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: it's just in trench power trying to defend its prerogatives.

481
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: We'll come back to that in a moment. Think about

482
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: it this way. Right now, in your town or city,

483
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: there's certainly a woman who has had an unplanned pregnancy

484
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: and is under a tremendous amount of psychological and emotional stress.

485
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: She's faced with a really important decision, one that will

486
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: affect her for the rest of her life and one

487
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: that directly affects the life of her preborn baby. What

488
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: is she going to do now? If she has an

489
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: option for a nearby, free ultrasound clinic run by people

490
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: who care, who want to help, who want to be

491
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: supportive of her bringing this life into the world, the

492
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: chances are much higher that she will make that decision

493
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: to give life to that baby outside the womb, to

494
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: give birth to her child. This is the mission of

495
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: preborn pregnancy clinics. Preborn is trying to save babies life

496
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: from abortion, and they need help now more than ever

497
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: because they're preparing for the influx of abortions in sanctuary states.

498
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: Preborn pregnancy clinics reach into the heart and souls of

499
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: babies and moms by offering free ultrasounds. The impact of

500
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: that experience for an expectant mother is life changing. So

501
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: often when a mother sees her baby on ultrasound, when

502
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: she hears that heartbeat, it is an immediate connection, a

503
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: divine connection, and she will choose life. Preborn has rescued

504
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of babies right now in your town,

505
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: right now, in your city, there's somebody who is thinking

506
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: about making this decision one way or the other. You

507
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: can help make the right decision. You can help make

508
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: this an effort that saves even more lives. Right now

Speaker 1: Want to tell producer Ali to get well. She is home. Buck.

521
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be getting sick. You know what we

522
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: used to call this back in the day, cold and

523
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: flu season. Yeah, starting to get a little cold out there.

524
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: You get that sniffle, you get a little night call out.

525
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: Maybe perhaps you're a suit of fed person. You know,

526
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm my my go too. I'm sure people in our

527
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: audience a fortunate You're gonna be getting sniffles soon. Some people,

528
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, they may they may start saying it's COVID

529
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: or whatever, but it's gonna be a sniffle. I think

530
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: I've had him like eighteen times. Yeah, I know I've

531
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: had it twice. I feel like when I go around

532
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: all these sports bars shaking hands college football, I really

533
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: feel like I might have had COVID more than almost anyone.

534
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm plant everyone's basically had. I think it's actually fair

535
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: to say that everyone has had COVID. At this point.

536
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: There are of course going to be some exceptions. You know,

537
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: if you are have been like the equivalent of a

538
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: contestant on that show alone living in the Canadian wilderness

539
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: by yourself. What how about Howard Sternbuck in New York City?

540
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Did you see the story He went out to dinner

541
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: for the first time in two years since March of

542
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty last week COVID broken. It turned him into

543
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: a neurotic and in many kind of a neurotic. Lib

544
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: actually is what ended up happening to him, because because

545
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: his neuroses around COVID turned into completely absurd demands and

546
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: expectations of everybody else. And you got a mask, and

547
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: you got a VAXX. You've got to do all these things.

548
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Some people just can't actually handle it, you know. I

549
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: Mean the truth is it is both freeing for some

550
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: and anxiety producing for others. We're all gonna die, yeah,

551
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: I think about that. Maybe maybe it'll change when I

552
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: get older. I mean, you're a super young man, so

553
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: you probably don't think it's true. I mean, as I

554
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: age and get more wisdom, I do not fear death

555
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: at all. And I am I mean I only in

556
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: the context of I want my kids to grow up,

557
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: and you know, like I want them to, but I

558
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: have a dad and all those things. But like the

559
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: idea that I would ever find myself in a situation

560
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: like Howard Stern where you effectively turn off your life

561
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: for over two years because you're afraid. I leave aside

562
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: the fact that he probably would have been fine if

563
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: he got COVID, he may have gotten it anyway, but

564
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: that you would be so afraid of a virus that

565
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: you would basically give up two years of your life

566
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: is it's it's it's just so pathetic and sad to

567
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: meum and especially for a guy. This this is kind

568
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: of ties in with the point about Kanye earlier. I

569
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: think Howard Stern would consider himself to be a rebel,

570
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: yet he is now a rebel who agrees with big business,

571
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: big government. Yeah it works. He makes like one hundred

572
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: million dollars a year work in his radio career, I

573
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: think he would have identified himself as a rebel in

574
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: that he would say things on the radio that others

575
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: would not. And my point on this now is he's

576
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: like doctor Fauci. Like he is, he has turned himself

577
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: into a pedantic, boring the man he's turned himself into

578
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: the man, and it's it's kind of pathetic. Yeah, of course,

579
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: he's like a like a nagging old woman going around

580
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: saying why aren't you triple masked? You know, it's enough,

581
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: like he needs to stop. And it's it's sad that

582
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: somebody would allow this to happen to them. But there

583
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: are a lot of people out there still. Man masks

584
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: are back in my building. Everyone in my building knows

585
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: not to tell me to wear them, but they're back

586
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: in my building for a lot. Not mandatory, but a

587
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: lot of people are wearing them. I mean I am

588
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: seeing some double maskers. I still to this day. I

589
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta start making some some T shirts that

590
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: say I triple mask just to wear them around so

591
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: people can see like I'm better than you maskers, because

592
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: I tricked. Even the double maskers don't take it seriously enough.

593
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't handle when I got on my flight to

594
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: New York City the number of people on Wednesday from

595
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Nashville to New York City that had masks on when

596
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: they got on the plane. I I really I think

597
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: I would have gone crazy if I had lived in

598
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: New York or LA over the last couple of years.

599
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean I would have moved as many people did,

600
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: but I would have gone insane. I think if I

601
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: had been in New I don't know how you didn't

602
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: go insane, Buck, I mean, I lived in an apartment

603
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: in a high rise. I know your family's there, so

604
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: that probably helped. But it's it's crazy. I mean, basically

605
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: the French bulldog and UH and cooking and Netflix was

606
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: what kept me and and doing at that point five

607
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: hours of live five hours of solo content from the desk.

608
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: You had. You had a job, so that helps. We

609
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: had to say exactly what we think too. But I

610
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: think if I had a regular job and I've been

611
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: in New York City, I think I would have gone

612
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: banana Land crazy. This is amazing, brother, way you see

613
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: this on the New York Post. This just came across

614
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: my screen. New York women are charging men up to

615
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars for failed relationships and bad dates. So,

616
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: for example, a woman in New a lot of you

617
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: had a lot of women charging you a lot of money. Hey, hey, Wolf,

618
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: settled down, You're an engaged man. Now. I'm just saying,

619
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: a single man in New York for twenty maybe where

620
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: all the therapy I gave them for free. Um you

621
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: know Venmo, a Venmo fifty dollars deposit request for somebody

622
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: who cancels the date people are demanding money for basically

623
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: is like a tax for their time for canceled dates.

624
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: The way, like restaurants will do this now if you

625
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: make a reservation or you don't show up, Um I will.

626
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean people that canceled the last minute are terrible

627
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: and do deserve some form of humiliation or punishment. But

628
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Venmo thing is really going

629
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: to go that well, if this is to be able

630
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 1: to do that to some dentists and doctors over the years,

631
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: Like if you have an appointment and you're not able

632
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: to get your appointment, they'll charge you for being late.

633
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: Why don't I get to charge them for being late?

634
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: I've showed up the doctor's office where like the doctor

635
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: went to the Hampton's early sorry, and it's just like, oh, okay,

636
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: so I'm just a jerk apparently, and I get to

637
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: go home not getting my doctor's appointment anyway. Yeah, this

638
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: is there's a Seinfeld on this where George demands payment

639
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: for his time waiting. I think. I think it makes

640
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: total sense, Like I'm as busy as a doctor would be,

641
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: Like why do I have to wait for you? This

642
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: is like we should, it's mutual, like I'll get there

643
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: at the right time you see me, otherwise you coming soon.

644
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: For the single guys that are audience VENMO requests for

645
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: emotional distress for a bad date,
