The third hour of The Clay Travis 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show is here, and we've got a 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: lot to talk to you all about. Thanks for staying 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: with us, Thanks for joining in. We have our friend 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: Raheem Kassam in the next right now. He is the 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: editor in chief of the National Pulse. They're breaking all 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: kinds of news stories on a regular basis, including on 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: the national security front. Rahe my friend, great to have 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: you back. Well, thank you for having me. What do 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: you see going on right now? I mean, just at 12 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: the at the macro level with this Ukraine situation. What's 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: your take on how the West, how Europe and the 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: US have responded to this, and where you see it going. Oh, 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: entirely predictable carnage, Buck, I mean, I have been talking 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: about this Ukraine situation since the Mdan Revolution of two 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen. I was actually in Kiev while that 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: was going on. I didn't have any kind of understanding 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: or preconceived notions of what was taking place on the 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: ground when I left London to go there, but it 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: became very apparent to me that if we continued on 22 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: this trajectory, this tip for tap that we've seen over 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: the last decade between NATO and Russia, that we would 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: end up in a sort of conflict like this. And 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I think it's just one of these most regrettably predictable 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: end results of a failed foreign policy that's emanated from London, 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: from Washington and has resonated across the Western world for 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the past several decades. Now. It's predominantly concerned with people 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: making money. It's predominantly concerned with what we in the 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: industry knows managed decline, and that is, you know, sort 31 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: of the very same notion that had Obama take his 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: first foreign trip as president to Cairo and bow before 33 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: the Eastern world and effectively say, you know, we're sorry. 34 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: And it's one of those things that is entirely predictable 35 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: when you look at the last several decades of political philosophy. 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: That is the underlying consensus that the elites in DC, 37 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: the elites in London have subscribed to, which is predominantly 38 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: Francis Fukiyama's end of history theory right that liberal democracy 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: will pervade, nothing can stop it. And here we are 40 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: now staring down the barrel of mister Putin's guns. I 41 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: happen to believe, as a matter of analysis, you know, 42 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: within myself looking at this situation, and I wrote an 43 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: article about this for Newsweek a couple of weeks ago, 44 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: that this will of course end with a prolonged negotiation, 45 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: a new set of treatise, and a whole lot of 46 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: blood that's been shed for actually no reason. So I 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: said back then, I continue to say, can we just 48 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: skip to the good part, the good part being when 49 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: people stop dying? I mean, that is well said. And 50 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: we just got a great question as we went to 51 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: break about what we think is going to end up 52 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: happening when all of these people do stop dying. What 53 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: does the end result in your mind look like? Rheim Like, 54 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: how do we end this conflict in Ukraine and Russia? 55 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: And what is the result of the end look unless 56 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: unless we as a as a as a civilization are 57 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: willing to risk a pretty pretty level of certainty behind 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: a nuclear World War three for the sake of a 59 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: non NATO member country, And we can get into the 60 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Budapest Memorandum if people like as well, um and these 61 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: and these small pockets of disputed territories. Um then and 62 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: then an end is necessarily, you know, coming to the 63 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: table and saying, right, what is actually your beef? Now? 64 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: The interesting thing about all of this where we are now, 65 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: and really it reached this kind of crescendo of nonsense 66 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when Vladimir Putin goes out 67 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: and he gives this long, winding, ninety minute setting out 68 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: his stall of history and culture and ethnicity and land 69 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and Stalin and Lenin and all of this stuff. And 70 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: then the next day Biden stands up in front of 71 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: electern gives an equally winding but extremely short and unspecific 72 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: speech that doesn't actually deal with any of the specificity 73 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: that mister Putin raised. So these two sides, what I'm saying, 74 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: are not even speaking the same language at the moment. 75 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: One side is speaking real politic. One side is saying, hey, 76 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: we want this territory, we believe it's ours. Here is 77 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: our justification, And the other side is pretty much putting 78 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: its fingers in its ears and saying, yes, but you're 79 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: just a warmonger and you're corrupt, and so we're not 80 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: going to do any business with you. Well, it's funny 81 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: isn't it, Because the West has actually been pretty happy. 82 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: In some European countries especially, have been pretty happy to 83 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: do extremely high levels of business with Russia over the 84 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: last several decades. My country, especially, selling football club's property, 85 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: all sorts of things to the Russians for the past 86 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: several decades. And now here we are, you know, wringing 87 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: our hands, saying, how on earth could this have happened? 88 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: You as a nation, as a civilization. We have sent 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: mixed messages to Russia. You know. On the one hand, 90 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: you'll remember Barack Obama sort of whispering to Medvedev, you know, 91 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: I'll have more flexibility after the election. On the other hand, 92 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: this posturing about how you know, Russia is so small, 93 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: it's not a threat. We don't even have to worry 94 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: about it. And all of those things lead to somebody 95 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: like mister Putin looking at the West's foreign policy and 96 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: national security apparatus and saying, but they don't know what 97 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: the heck they're doing, And that is that I fear 98 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: is absolutely true. There are more parallels between what's coming 99 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: out of the White House today with a show like 100 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: the West Wing, then there are parallels with actual geopolitical theory. 101 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Halford MACKINDERH. Mahan, all of these great 102 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: geostrategic theorists who warned about, you know, what happens in 103 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: Eurasia and the control of that land mass and why 104 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: those conflicts arise and how to avoid them. Well, I've 105 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: yet to hear any of these geniuses in this administration. 106 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I call it a regime, this regime talking about those things. 107 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: How do you actually bring this conflict to a close quickly? 108 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: And that brings us to the other point, doesn't it. 109 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Do they want to bring this conflict to a close quickly? 110 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: Speaking a Raheim Kassam, he's editor in chief of the 111 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: National Pulse, which you all go check it out. They're 112 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: breaking great stories. They're on a regular basis. Rahim. I'm 113 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: sure you can't this, but I wanted to bring it 114 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: to the attention of our audience roll across the country 115 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: here yesterday during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Ukraine. 116 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: Under Secretary of State War Political Affairs Victoria Newland. Who 117 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: anybody who knows who the neocons are knows from previous 118 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: multiple administrations, who Victoria Newland is. This is an exchange 119 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: I want everyone to hear with Marco Rubio and Newland, 120 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: and I want you to react to it. Does Ukraine 121 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: have chemical or biological weapons? Ukraine has a biological research facilities, 122 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: which in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops 123 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So 124 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can 125 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: prevent any of those research materials from falling into the 126 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: hands of Russian forces should they approach. I'm sure you're 127 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out 128 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: there all kinds of information about how they've uncovered a 129 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the 130 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: country and with NATO's coordination, if there's a biological or 131 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there 132 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: any doubt in your mind that one hundred percent it 133 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: would be the Russians that would be behind it. There 134 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: is no doubt in my mind, Senator, And it is 135 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what 136 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: they're planning to do themselves. Okay, Raheim, just just two 137 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: things here, because I went a little longer than maybe 138 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: was was helpful for it, because I wanted to go 139 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: into this one part of it. If it's medical research 140 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: that's being done, why wouldn't you just say, yeah, there's 141 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: medical research, you know, trying to cure cancer or whatever. 142 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: And if it was just medical research, why refer to 143 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: it as biological research that you're concerned the Russians may 144 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: get a hold of that. That struck a lot of 145 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: people who are not trying to be conspiracy theorists as 146 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: quite strange. Well, people will cast their minds back to 147 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic, when the likes of me 148 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: and me were talking about this BSL four bio weapons 149 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: bio research facility in Wuhan, and the level of just 150 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: flat out denial that we heard at the time that 151 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: this thing was even something to be concerned about, something 152 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: to look into. And then, of course, fast forward to 153 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: just about a week ago when people started to raise 154 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the specter of these issues in Ukraine, and the almost 155 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: the entirety of corporate media in the United States bore 156 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: down pressure on people asking questions, questions like mister Rubio 157 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: just asked there and said, this is fake news, this 158 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: is Russian propaganda, No such things exist. And then come 159 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: obviously to yesterday, where you have Newland herself saying, and 160 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: you're right to point out the very cagey terms that 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: she uses there, right, And you can hear the kind 162 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: of stuttering and stammering and of people. Go and watch 163 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: the video as well. You see her body language when 164 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: she's talking about all of these things. She's very clearly, 165 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: deeply concerned about what is going on at these labs. Now, 166 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: we did a little bit of digging into some of 167 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: this last night, and we found out that actually none 168 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: other than then Senator BARACKO. O'bama in two thousand and 169 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: five was one of the people who helped set up 170 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: us AID going to Ukraine to use the words that 171 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: they used at the time in a press release, to 172 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: secure these facilities in case of any accidents or like 173 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: we're seeing now whatever you know, conflicts and so forth. 174 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: But it was really interesting to us that these web 175 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: pages had been taken down over the last couple of years, 176 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: and we actually had to go back through the web 177 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: archives to find this information. Finally enough, at the same time, 178 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: as right as all of that is happening, who is 179 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen. That would be doctor Fauci, Mister Fauci, 180 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: as I call him, because he hasn't acted like a 181 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: doctor over the past couple of years, and he's nowhere 182 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: to be seen at the moment. So now the questions 183 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: and the freedom of information requests will all start pouring in. 184 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: Where were these labs, who was funding them, what research 185 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: was going on there? And what NIH grants if any, 186 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: and what NIAID grants, if any, were going I would 187 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: Fauci sign off to all of these things. Yes, this 188 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: is now. And look, I got to tell you this, 189 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to the fog of war, especially in 190 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: the propaganda realm, you can't believe either side. You know, 191 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: the numbers are nonsense. You know we've shot down four 192 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: billion planes and you know the ghost of Kiev is 193 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: lurking behind every corner. It's all nonsense. You've got to 194 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: just look through all of that and get right to 195 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: the signal. And the signal here again comes back to 196 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: our first point, how do we end up in this situation? 197 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: How do we get out of this situation? Because for me, 198 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: I said this back in November, mister Poussin knows that 199 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: this is a prolonged conflict if he wants it to be, 200 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: and he is now seeking to normalize conflicts in that region, 201 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: would I would say the responsible people, you know, the 202 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: grown ups, with all the grown ups, the grown ups 203 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: should be talking about how to you know, not allow 204 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: conflict to become normal in that region and in Ukraine. 205 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Raheim Casam Everybody.

We have not talked a lot about 234 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: inflation so far today, but it's not going to surprise 235 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: you that the Democratic Party, who has essentially an entire 236 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: party now that has never done anything in the world 237 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: of business, doesn't understand how basic business works. And so 238 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: I got a couple of Democratic Party all stars here. 239 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren says that profit margins are gouging the oil 240 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: companies out there are gouging you. Here is cut sixteen. 241 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm co sponsoring with Senator white House and others a 242 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: bill on windfall profits tax. Look, we get it supply 243 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: and demand that prices go up, but profit margins should 244 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: not go up. That's just oil companies gouging when they 245 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: do that. So we're going to be on him on this, 246 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean the lack buck and I'm going to play 247 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: with Rashida to leave here in a minute. The inability 248 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: to understand how business works is really the undergirding fatal 249 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: flaw of all Democratic party economic analysis. And it used 250 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: to be that there were at least some Democrats in 251 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: Congress who were really highly successful business people, who had 252 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: a strong voice, and that's just vanished and they've turned 253 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: all into socialists. So that's a with Warren going after 254 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: oil companies, and then Congresswoman to Leab came forward and said, 255 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: it's not actually inflation that's going on. That's seven and 256 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: a half percent inflation that all economic indicators are letting 257 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: us know exists. That's not inflation, according to Congresswoman to Leab, 258 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: it's actually just extortion. Listen to this, as you know, 259 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: the pandemic has been, you know, great for the richest Americans, 260 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: who have lined their pockets and doubled their wealth during 261 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: the pandemic. As we all know, corporations have the nerve 262 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: to blame inflation while consolidating their market power and raising 263 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: the price of essential goods and services while working people 264 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: put the bill for me. This is not inflation, it's extortion. No, 265 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: it's inflation. It turns out, it turns out, and yeah, 266 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: you know yet, you know, circle does not get the 267 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: square on that one. It's inflation clay. When you have 268 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: economic illiterates across the top of the US government in 269 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: very prominent positions, people who have only ever made money 270 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: by either a paycheck front courtesy of the taxpayer, or 271 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: essentially selling their access, their rolodecks and their name. As 272 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: a result of that, they tend to not really know 273 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: how this stuff actually works, you know, Jensaki and Elizabeth 274 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: Warren and not people you want to charge your business 275 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: or certainly telling your business what it Kennon can't do. 276 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: And this is why inflation has attacks on the poor 277 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: more so than anybody else in the country. And there's 278 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: still a lot of Democrats that don't understand this. As 279 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: prices go up for all goods, the amount of profit 280 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: that you're going to make goes down because of your 281 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: cost increasing. So you have to increase costs as well. 282 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: And that's why Biden trying to claim, oh, well, wages 283 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: went up, I think they said five point nine percent 284 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: or five point five percent something along those lines for 285 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: average workers according the most recent data. Yeah, but when 286 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: inflation is going up seven point five percent, that means 287 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: that the average person has less money in their pocket. 288 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: And when the Democratic Party, who actually represented working people, 289 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: they at least claim to understand this a little better 290 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: when she's talking about all the super wealthy people, Many 291 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: of the super wealthy people on the East and West 292 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: coast in this country actually vote Democratic. And the people 293 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: who end up with the biggest difficulty are people who 294 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: have to spend all of the money that they make 295 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: on goods and services because they get hit harder by inflation. 296 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: They don't have hard physical assets. They don't own homes, 297 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: they don't have land, they don't have a property to 298 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: offset the overall rise and inflation. And so this is 299 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: a fundamental failure. Thank god, I gotta give him credit 300 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: that Joe Mansion stood up against this buck because without 301 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion, think about how bad inflation would be even 302 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: now because build back better, they would have spent trillions 303 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: of more dollars even than they've already. It's crazy to 304 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: think about how close we were to one of the 305 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: biggest expansions in the history of the federal government on 306 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: top of all the COVID spending.

They all thought that Clinton flack 331 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: Terry mccauliffe was going to come out victorious, and that 332 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: one turned out not to be so because Junkin came 333 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: out saying schools should take the opinions and interests of 334 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: parents in the education of the parents children very much 335 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: into account. They should actually listen to them. It should matter, 336 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: and they also should be responsive to the needs first 337 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: and foremost of children and parents the families that send 338 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: their at these schools, not teachers unions and lazy Democrat 339 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: voting adults who just want to get away with the 340 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: bare minimum, which I know is not all teachers, but 341 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: teachers unions do some really bad stuff and have done 342 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: some really bad stuff during the COVID period. Here, so 343 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: this is turned into a battlefield over parental rights. That's 344 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: why in Florida they passed a parental rights bill. It 345 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: has been signed by the Florida Senator awaits signature by 346 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: Governor Ronda Santis. The activists, and I mean quite specifically 347 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: the activists of the LGBTQ plus community, have dubbed this 348 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: the don't Say Gay Bill, which is not in any 349 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: way in the bill, it actually doesn't allow you to 350 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: say anything about sex. Whether it's gay, sex and or 351 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: sexual it doesn't matter. It's just a do not have 352 00:20:52,920 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: sexual or gender identity or sexual relations instruction for kindergarteners 353 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: and pre k up to the third grade. This shouldn't 354 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: be super controversial, but the Democrats see an opening here 355 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: based on the propaganda they're using to make it seem 356 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: like they're on the side of the righteous here. And 357 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: it's the bigots in the Republican Party that are causing 358 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: the problems. Here's Chief pr Lady at the White House, Jensaki. 359 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: These steps we've seen in Texas and Florida are deeply 360 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: concerning and are having are discriminating against exactly the kind 361 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: of kids who we need to be loving and supporting 362 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: and we've seen and I referenced Florida because, as you know, 363 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: they just recently passed a similar hateful bill that hurt 364 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: some of the students most in need. In terms of 365 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: any legal actions, I'd obviously point at the Department of Justice, 366 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: but I would just note that the President, the Secretary 367 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: of Education, many members of the administration have spoken out 368 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: about the discriminatory nature of these bills and are deep 369 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: concerned about the message they're sending to LGBTQ kids and families. 370 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: Papa Clay has got some thoughts. Oh, I'm fired up. 371 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: This is just a lie, Okay. I can't imagine there 372 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: is anybody out there with a kindergartener to a third 373 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: grader who believes that sex should be a topic of conversation, 374 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: either straight or gay, sex in the kindergarten, in pre 375 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: k kindergarten, all the way through third grade. I you know, 376 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: I know that we have a lot of kids that 377 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: ride around in the car with their parents, So I 378 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: always try to be conscious of what I'm saying on 379 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: the radio in some way, especially since I had young 380 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: kids of my own. This is just a lie, Buck, 381 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: It's just a lie that there is in any way 382 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: discrimination going on in these bills. There does not need 383 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: to be any discussion of biology or sexuality in kindergarten classrooms. 384 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: This is this is madness, right that it would be 385 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: and and so what is going on here is clearly 386 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: the fear that that was occurring. And some of you 387 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: out there say, well, that's crazy. Did you see what um? 388 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: I believe his name is Tom Bevan, who does real 389 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: clear politics. I work with my kids some. In fact, 390 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: yesterday I was helping my first grader with his with 391 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: his spelling be you know, the words that he's going 392 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: to have every week that he's learning how to spell. 393 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: Did you see the fifth grader science class words that 394 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: Tom Bevan put out that his kids in public school 395 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: were getting. This is this is where this kind of 396 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: fear is coming from. This he has a fifth grade 397 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: kid science classroom adolescence. Okay, you might say, well that 398 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: made sense for a fifth grader consent. I'm not sure 399 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: that a fifth grader needs to be having discussions in 400 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: his science class about consent to sexual acts. That seems 401 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: a little bit strange. But maybe maybe you're like, Okay, 402 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: they need to have that conversation. I don't personally transgender 403 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: fifth grade science. These are his fifth grade science vocabulary 404 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: words sis gender. I learned that word three years ago 405 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: and I had a large vocabulary. There you go. I 406 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: like to think, Buck, that you and I would do 407 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: very well on the SAT vocabulary test. Still, I'm sure 408 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: we did well back in the day too. I didn't 409 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: even know what cis gender was. And here's another one, 410 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: non binary fifth grade science class. Does your kid need 411 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: to learn non binary cis gender transgender? Like? Are these 412 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: science terms that you're fifth grader needs to be using? 413 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: And again I'm citing him. This is Tom Vevany runs 414 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: a high up in the running of Real Clear Politics. 415 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: Great website. Encourage you guys check it out. They do 416 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: a good job of presenting a variety of perspectives in 417 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: the political world. I use it all the time, Buck, 418 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm kind of a polling nerd. I 419 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: like to just look and see what polls are out there, 420 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: different states, everything else. Okay, this idea that this is 421 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: banning the use of the word gay is a lie. 422 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: It's a lie that is being spread widely. And they 423 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: go even further than that. And this is a common 424 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: tactic that you will come up against if you're having 425 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: any discussion public debate about transgender issues, the trans agenda. 426 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: This is an extension of the left speech equals violence argument. 427 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: It's unless you concede to the you know, the agenda, 428 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: the trans agenda. In this case, unless you concede, you 429 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: are forcing people to commit suicide. Therefore, you are effectively 430 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: murdering people. You are engaged in violence. That is actually 431 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: an argument tactic that has frequently used. People that I 432 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: know who are on the front lines of this debate 433 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: will often be told children will commit suicide because of you. 434 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: That's what they'll say. And here is Florida State Senator 435 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: Shervin Jones suggesting that this bill will in fact increase suicide. 436 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: It's going to create an environment where it's going to 437 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: continue to keep children more closeted. It's going to put 438 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: more of a sensor on teachers where teachers are, as 439 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: a former teacher, teachers are the first responders to a 440 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: lot of problems that children come to speak to someone about. 441 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: So it is not going to be beneficial to the 442 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: teacher north to the student. And let's be clear, The 443 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: Trevor Project did a study and come to find out 444 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: that lgbtqu are four times more likely to commit suicide, 445 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: not because of this sexual orientation, but it's how they 446 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: are treated. And that is actually the message that I 447 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: was trying to convey to my colleagues in the room. Yes, 448 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: you can have your belief, but who are you hurting 449 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: in this language that you're pushing, not just in Florida, 450 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: but natural I mean, allow six year olds to be 451 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: talked to about cisgenderism and pan sexualism and whatever else 452 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: the left asides or else you're encouraging child suicide. I mean, Clay, 453 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: this is this is vicious. I mean, this is evil. 454 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: It is it's it's just untrue. And I would imagine 455 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: that most people out there explain that babies, initially, when 456 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: you're talking to kindergarteners and first graders and whatnot, they 457 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: come from the stork, right. I mean, that's that's what 458 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: I was told back in the day. That's what most 459 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: kindergarteners in front. I told you, guys, what I learned, 460 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: and I thought that was true for a while. Yeah, Yeah, 461 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: that would have been biologically implausible, almost as biologically implausible 462 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: as being told that a man can get pregnant and 463 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: have a baby. Which is what we are sometimes told 464 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: now as well. Um and so craziness. When I was six, 465 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: I think I thought I was a stegosaurus for a 466 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: few days. I mean, you know, they're little kids. This 467 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: is for parents and for families to handle. This is 468 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: not for the public education system to dive into. But 469 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: you notice the left is very bothered the same way 470 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: they were very bothered by the any kind of talk 471 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: about and then of course prohibition on critical race theory 472 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: indoctrination in school, they're very bothered on gender identity issues 473 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: for pre K. Yeah, let's be five year olds and 474 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: six year olds. What is wrong with these people? I 475 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: give a lot of credit to my wife for summing 476 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: this up well. When you're talking about six year olds 477 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: being able to pick their gender, we don't let six 478 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: year olds pick their lunches, right, because they would eat 479 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: birthday cake for every meal if they could. They would 480 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: eat candy, they would eat cookies, they would only eat 481 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: sweets if we let six year olds pick all of 482 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: their food. So why in the world do we let 483 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: a six year old pick their gender? I mean, this 484 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: is this is craziness. Or teach them that it's normal 485 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: to be picking their gender at six year old, biology 486 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: is real. You know, I want to start selling t 487 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: shirts on outkickbuck that just says biology is real. Boys 488 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: and girls exist. Point, this is crazy. A six year 489 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: old couldn't decide. If you let your six year old decide, 490 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, without setting up homeschooling or something, they're just 491 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: not going to go to school. Yes, child services might 492 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: be called unless you set up a separate instruction. And 493 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: if you just said, oh, my six year old doesn't 494 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: want to go to school, you know, the school, the 495 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: state actually will mandate instruction for children to go to 496 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: school at some level. But you're supposed to have six 497 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: year old seven year olds who decide that they're actually 498 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: not their gender, and then the school is supposed to 499 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: by the way, all know this. It's not like the 500 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: school talks. The school encourages it. These these programs want 501 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: to encourage gender transition, which is why the study out 502 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: of Brown University on rapid onset gender dysphoria, which proved 503 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: by the numbers that young children who around other young 504 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: children that are suddenly made a big deal of because 505 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: they think they might be a girl. It's usually boys 506 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: transitioning to girls. They try to bury this study because 507 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't with the narrative, which is that maybe children 508 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: are very vulnerable to manipulation and to psycholog magical imposition, 509 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: and that's why the parents want to have them protected 510 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: and not have them subject to the whims of a 511 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: school system that nobody should really trust. Buck, we won't 512 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: let kids buy alcohol until they're twenty one, but we 513 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: let them pick their gender before they even hit puberty 514 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: and start pumping them full of drugs if they want. 515 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's child abuse. I mean it would be 516 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: fascinating to see if you could do a study of 517 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: when when people have their first you know what. Let's 518 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: say a twelve year old goes in and says I 519 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: think you know, twelve year old boy goes in says 520 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm a woman. I guarantee you in every 521 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: school system across the country, the overwhelming majority of any 522 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: administrator would would celebrate and act like it's time to 523 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: break out a birthday cake instead of saying, hold on 524 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: a second, like let's talk this through. I don't even 525 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: think I think that the agenda is to push as 526 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: much transition as possible for as many people as possible, 527 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: because that then further normalizes taking hormone therapy when you're 528 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: not even full, you know, not even fully physically bear, 529 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pump somebody full of hormones. This is 530 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: a losing issue. This is a losing issue for the left, 531 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: which is why they have to lie about it. So 532 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: we stay on this, folks, We stay on this. The 533 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: more voices the better. Speaking up with a unified voice 534 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: is helpful, particularly when so many important decisions are being 535 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: considered our economy, our border security, the insanity around vaccines 536 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: and mask mandates. When you're plugged into the information and activities, 537 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: you can make informed opinions and decisions. You know what 538 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: liberal response to each of these issues are. Their playbook 539 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: is always to strike down individual liberty and implement more government. 540 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: That's not a solution. That's why we've joined AMAC, the 541 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: Association of Mature American Citizens.

I 568 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: don't know that there's ever been, in most of our 569 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: lives a two year process where there was crazier, more 570 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: serious stories happening on a day to day basis. Right. Uh. 571 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: There there are lots of battles that have been fought 572 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: historically in the United States, But in our lives we've 573 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: been very fortunate by and large in the last forty 574 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: years or so. Most of the time, the things we 575 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: argue over aren't necessarily seismic in nature. I mean, even 576 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: with COVID, even a few years ago, you gonna say, Michael, 577 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: remember Michael Avanati and Stormy Daniels, and they were that 578 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: was the biggest problem in the world for like three months. Yeah. So, 579 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: and even back you know, twenty years ago, you know 580 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton having an affair with Monica Lewinsky. I mean, 581 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: how much would people love right now instead of a 582 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: war in Europe? You know, political affair as the story 583 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: of the day. Or remember when Chandra Levy disappeared, that 584 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: was the big story in DC. So uh, I know, 585 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: we got a lot of listeners in DC and Block 586 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: I was telling you this off the air. There's been 587 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: all sorts of craziness at the quarterback position in the NFL. 588 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: So I got a good sports story for you Washington. 589 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: First of all, they changed their name from the Redskins, right, 590 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: which again it just puts other now that Cleveland, Indians 591 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: had to change their names. I got asked at our 592 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: Houston event somebody said, hey, you know you moved from 593 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: sports to politics. How did that happen? Jesse Kelly was 594 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: asking me that at our event with Michael Berry. Appreciate 595 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: all you guys who came out KTRH. I believe listening 596 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: down in Houston, and what I should have said better 597 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: more succinct answer is politics just became sports. And the 598 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: Washington football team now the Washington I think they're the 599 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: I can't even keep talking. I think they're the Commanders now, 600 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: which is a weird name in and of itself. They 601 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: have traded for Carson Wentz, who is you know, kind 602 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: of a perpetually star crossed quarterback for a long time. 603 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: So the only thing that may be more incompetent than 604 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: the Biden administration is the Washington football team. So the 605 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders now have traded for Carson wins. So it 606 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: is an epidemic, as some might say, in Washington, d 607 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: c of stupidity spreading widely all over the place. Also, 608 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: when admit, we gave a couple of really good book 609 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: suggestions splendid in the vial if you are wanting to 610 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: get into the Churchill years when the bombings are coming down, 611 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: I gave the Lost City of z And you said, 612 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: which is a good news story and one that is 613 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: pretty cool if you want to read about this endurance 614 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 1: endurance about the Earnest Shackleton expedition. They have found his boat, 615 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: which is a positive cool story. That book is amazing 616 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: because it's so cold. It's such cold water that they 617 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: can go down two miles and think about how far 618 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: down in the ocean that. I mean, it's truly mind blowing. 619 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: And then I brought it up. But whatever the other 620 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: book was about finding the was it the Lost City 621 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: of the White Uh? Gosh, what is it called? Clay? 622 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: I can see of God? Something like that, um monkey God? 623 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: Something about you guys are yelling the wrong ones, by 624 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: the way, the City of the Monkey God. I told 625 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: you it was a monkey God. I got the monkey guys. Yeah, 626 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: I'm just say but there was yelling other ones that. 627 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: By the way, we have to talk about this. Spiders 628 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: are infiltrating the East Coast. Ali was super nervous. If 629 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: my wife's listening, she's probably gonna drive off the road. Uh. 630 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: There is a monster spiders, this is true, that have 631 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: infiltrated from Japan and they are soon to land on 632 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: the East coast. It's like a red Dawn meet spiders 633 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: is the way to think about this. They're taking over. 634 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: Spider invasion everybody. Yes, that's something else that will be fine. Plagues, 635 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: that's right. We're gonna keep it all going here in 636 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck Show, though, we will make sense 637 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: of an insane world. Stay with us, friends, We're gonna 638 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: be be diving into all of it tomorrow. Till then 639 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: play Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
