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 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of Clay and Buck starts 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: right now, everybody. I'm here in New York City, so 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: I'll be giving you my sense of how things are 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: going here, given that there's been it's been quite a 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: week Clay in New York. A lot of stuff going 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: on here in the Big Apple. Obviously, the arrival of 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump a couple of days ago was memorable for 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people here, especially those who went down. 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: I had some friends who were down at that protest, 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: m so and and and it came off fine. There 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: was no problem with the protest. Everybody was peaceful and 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: everybody was law abiding, and you know, good fine. Second Amendment, 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, god, first Amendment, first amendent. I can't 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: believe I just did that First Amendment alive and well, um, 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: so so that was good. So anyway, um, I want 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: to talk about Rohn Desantish Rohn DeSantis here, who is in. 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: First of all, Massy came out right, Clay, this was 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: this was an interesting moments. So tell everybody what's going 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: on with Congressman Massey. Yeah, So, I first of all, 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: think Congressman Massey Kentucky, one of the most interesting and 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: consistent thinkers in Congress. Seems to me to be a 23 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: very very smart, consistent guy with a lot of intellectual 24 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: heff behind him. Even if you disagree with him, I 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: think you have to respect his perspectives. So this, to me, 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: he is a big deal. DeSantis has not yet officially announced. 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: In Florida. We have been talking about Donald Trump sucking 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: up all of the oxygen, and deservedly so for the chaotic, 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: indefensible charges that have been brought against him in New 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: York City. But I think the DeSantis camp was smart. Here. 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Thomas Massey, very well liked Republican from Kentucky on the right, 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: particularly in this country, announced that he's endorsing Rod de Santis. 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: Now to be fair, same day Byron Donald's, so really good, 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: well liked guy down in I believe the Naples area 35 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: of Florida, where we're going to be by the way 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: and a couple of weeks doing an event as we 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: promised we would in the wake of Hurricane Ivan slamming 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: into the southwest Florida coast. Byron Donald's endorsed Donald Trump today. 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: So this sort of shadow boxing. While all of the 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: attention has gone to Brag versus Trump in the indictment 41 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: and everything else, the big story of Trump versus De 42 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: Santis is still in play, and I thought this was 43 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: a smart decision by the DeSantis camp. DeSantis is up 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: in Michigan effectively campaigning and what he hopes will be 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: a swing state in twenty twenty four, and we'll maybe 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: play some of those cuts. But to me, getting Massy 47 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: to come out and endorse De Santis is just letting 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: people know, hey, we're still rolling along with our plans. 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: We're going to announce, because they wouldn't have these endorsements 50 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: coming out if his presidential campaign was not still a 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: full go. There is also a I mentioned it on 52 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: the Arain a couple of weeks ago, resigned to run 53 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: law in Florida that I think is going to be 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: amended during this legislative session. That's important. So that directly 55 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: goes to why he hasn't announced, and you were right 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: on that. So that's that's something to keep in mind here. 57 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: And the legislative session is racking up all kinds of 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: victories in Florida, including constitutional carry, which I believe starts 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: in July, and I'm gonna pay close attention to it 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: because I'll be a I actually I'm going to be enrolling. 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: It's funny. I just enrolled with my brother or about 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: to a role I should say, in a concealed carry 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: weapons class, just because I like to be as as 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: up on everything as is possible. I mean, I think 65 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: you can never get trained enough. You can never know 66 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: the law well enough. If you're going to carry a firearm. 67 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: You want to be one hundred out of one hundred 68 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: on the test. You don't want to be ninety seven 69 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: out of one hundred tests. You know what I mean. 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: But you can constitution That's just my personal preference. You 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: can constitutional carry coming up soon. And also I think 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: in the wake of what happened in Wisconsin that that 73 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: was in the wake of the wake up call effectively. 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think people realize, okay, guys, that is, 75 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem important till you play it out politically. 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: And I shouldn't say it doesn't see important. Everyone Wisconsin 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: is important, But you know, state judge generally is not 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: something if you'll live in New York or Texas, you 79 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: don't care who a judge in. You know, Wisconsin or 80 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Minnesota is going to be usually right, it's not your problem. Well, 81 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: it matters in this context because it also meant delivering 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin State Supreme Court to the Libs. And now 83 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: they're just going to do everything they can on the 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: um election front to tilt it toward the Democrats right 85 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: next door in Michigan, what is it the is it 86 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: the Badgers versus the Wolverines? Is that right? But that 87 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: is correct? Thank you to make up you're trying to 88 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: make up for your your confusion between the astros and yeah, 89 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: we don't get confused. Yeah we'll tell you. But about that, 90 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: that's not everyone. Houston was like, good Heavens, bless your heart, Buck, 91 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: bless your heart. So yeah, no, the RHN de Santists 92 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: visit here in Michigan, I think is interesting because he's 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: speaking specifically about what we have to do to win 94 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: in places like Michigan and Wisconsin. Play it. Do what 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Florida did, get rid of ballot harvesting, get rid of Zuckerbucks. 96 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: But if that's not the law in your state, you 97 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: need to use those rules for Republicans advantage. You can't 98 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: have Republicans fighting with one hand behind their backs, and 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: so I think you should have ballot harvesting where it's legal, 100 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: and then fight to have the legislatures and those states 101 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: get rid of it, because that's not the way you 102 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: should conduct an election. But if you let Democrats do 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: all this and all we do is complain about it, 104 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: you're given the Democrats an advantage. And I'm sick of that. 105 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: It's true in every state where there are I mean, 106 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: what we really have to do. And I know this 107 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: is kind of hard maybe to hear a little bit. 108 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel good to say what Democrats done successfully 109 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: in some of these places. What does the we complain 110 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: about the Democrat machine in a city like Chicago for example. Now, 111 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: obviously we're not going to copy the illegal parts of 112 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: what they do, but what are they doing legally? Because 113 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: there are things they're doing legally that we should be 114 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: doing in a number of states, And I mean Michigan, Wisconsin. 115 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: If you don't win Michigan Wisconsin, it's pretty much game over. 116 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, at that point, you'd have to have some 117 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: crazy flips to win twenty twenty four. Look, and I 118 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: think this is important. You and I in the wake 119 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: of the mid terms, came on and We were some 120 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: of the first people I know in media who just said, hey, 121 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: let's be honest, they have a better game plan than us. 122 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: Before you can win, you have to at least copy 123 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: what the other side is doing really well, right, everybody 124 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: kind of runs the same plays and people got madness. 125 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: We got a little lamb based for it, you know, 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: ad a couple of did a couple of folks a 127 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: little sore at us over this one. We're just we're 128 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: trying to spread the love. We want to win. But 129 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: did now Trump and DeSantis have both in dorse this. 130 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: And I can share this story because I said it 131 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: the other day at a fundraising event. I was out 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: in Arizona two days I believe after the election in 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: the mid terms, and I was speaking in the Scottsdale 134 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: area and I talked with and maybe even the day after, 135 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Senator Bill Haggerty of Tennessee, and he said, I'm looking 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: at all the day to Haggerty is really a smart guy. 137 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: He said, I'm looking at all the data, and we 138 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: are putting together an elite analytics team to figure out 139 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: how they won in these toss up states because we 140 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: cannot allow this same advantage that they have to persist 141 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty four. And I'm glad regardless of whether 142 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: you're a big Decantis guy, a big Trump guy, Nicky Haley, 143 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: whoever you're supporting, every single Republican who is running for 144 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: the nomination in twenty twenty three into twenty twenty four 145 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: needs to one billion percent get behind exploiting whatever the 146 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: existing laws. You can argue after twenty twenty four, what 147 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: the law should be at played by the rules that 148 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: exist in every state, and if Democrats are ballot harvesting, 149 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: then take advantage of it and buck. What I have 150 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: heard from a lot of Republicans out there, including Senator Haggerty, 151 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: is what is so effective about what Democrats are doing 152 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: is it allows them to know whose votes they've gotten in, 153 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: so they can move down the flow chart and go 154 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: after these low probability voters and just lambast to them. 155 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 1: They figure out what the issue is they care about 156 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: the most, if it's abortion, if it's whatever it is, 157 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: and then they just deluge them with demands that they 158 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: also get their vote in. So it allows them to 159 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: more efficiently target their audience because they know whose ballots 160 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: are in, they know that they've already got those banked, 161 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: and then they're sitting on a seven hundred and fifty 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: or eight hundred thousand vote lead that we try to 163 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: make up on election. I always thought it was funny 164 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: that at some exams, you remember back in college, some 165 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: professors allowed open book open book exams. Oh yeah, and 166 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: you always, even if you were really squared away on 167 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: the subject matter, you know, you found yourself being like, well, 168 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: everyone else is going to bring in their books, so 169 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: I guess I got to bring in my book. And 170 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: if you just realize at some point it turns into 171 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: an arms race, and you don't want to be the 172 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: one with, you know, the least artillery. And this is true, 173 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: This is true on the election side of things. They're 174 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: able to do micro targeting effectively because they have they're 175 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: extending out their time to get it done. They're extending 176 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: out the the the game plan for themselves, which allows 177 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: for improvisation. That's a nice way of saying it, but 178 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: it allows for fixes as you go instead of a 179 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: concentrated time in one day. Now. I know there's some 180 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: states where this isn't the case, and we're not talking 181 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: about those states, and we don't want this to be 182 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: the case. In those places. But you know, I don't 183 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: know how many elections we're gonna be able to go 184 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: through where we say they cheated and we don't. You know, 185 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, even if they cheated, 186 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: if they were, guess what if you don't prove it 187 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: they've cheated in the court of law, that'll overturn the case. 188 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: They get to call the shots for the next four years, 189 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: six years, whatever we're talking about. Play by the rules 190 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: that exist in every state, and if they're going up 191 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: to the margin of the rules, you have to do 192 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: the same. And if you're not doing that, you're at 193 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: such a competitive disadvantage. Look, this is a big part. 194 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: And I always want to come back to Fetterman and 195 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: what happened in Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania may well decide twenty 196 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: twenty four the election all over again. You know, they 197 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: had half of the entire Democrat vote in Buck before 198 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: Fetterman even took the stage for that disastrous debate. Yep, 199 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: over half of all Democrat voters who were going to 200 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: support John Fetterman had already voted before he even went 201 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: to the stage. So we're still playing old school, like, well, 202 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: let's see how much this swing, this debate swings the election. Well, 203 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: a huge percentage of voters are just acting out a 204 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: party loyalty before they even see people go head to 205 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: head and debate the issues. Because anybody who watched that debate, 206 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: that's the single worst performance in a statewide debate that 207 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: has ever existed in any of our lives. And Fetterman 208 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: won by almost five points. It felt like an act 209 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: of cruelty for anyone to push him out on that 210 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: stage and to go through that, including his wife and 211 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: the people pushing him to run. Yes, it felt honestly 212 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: uncomfortable and borderline wrong just to watch it. And that 213 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: guy's now is sitting you, Well, it just came out 214 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: of six weeks in the hospital whatever is for depression, 215 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: but he immediately tested. He couldn't even make it a 216 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: month without having to check himself into a hospital. Book. 217 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: But I think one of the reasons that Florida and 218 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: desantists going up to Michigan and making this case is 219 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: so interesting is that in a quick in a quick 220 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: span of time, Florida went from you know, the the 221 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: it's the hanging Chad state, right, It's the it's the 222 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: bushcore two thousand state and in a very short period 223 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: of time, and that continued. Right, it was always always 224 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: or are going to go red? It's fifty nine, fifty one, 225 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: forty nine now just santi descentiss turn Florida to Salida, 226 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: red state, red state. You can do this in other 227 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: places too. Here he is saying that the Democratic Party 228 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: right now in Florida, Folks, is toast play six. Florida really, 229 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: I think played an important role in the history of 230 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: our country over the last three or four years. But 231 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: the voters in Florida responded and what used to be 232 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: a swing state, you know, now the Democratic Party in 233 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: Florida is a hollow shell. It's like a dead carcass 234 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: on the side of the road. I mean, we have 235 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: beat the left in the state of Florida. So, but 236 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: this is the critical point. With the right plan and 237 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: the right leadership, we don't have to play this game 238 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: of oh, is Arizona gonna go red? We should be 239 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: able to make it clear that some of these states, 240 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: if you have the right ground game and the right candidate, 241 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: can go read by a handful of points, and then 242 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: after that, with good governance, they can become solidly Republican 243 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: strong Because I feel like the Democrats. They manage to 244 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: get these pickups, and they manage to get these flips. 245 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes you say to yourself, why don't Republicans get a 246 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: little more aggressive where we're always playing defense, open the 247 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: playing field. That's my argument for Glenn Junkan in Virginia. 248 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: If you could put Virginia in play, it changes the 249 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: entire calculus of the electoral college. If your cell phone 250 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: services with Verizon, T Mobile or AT and T, you're 251 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: spending too much for the exact same service you can 252 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: get from pure Talk. Pure talks a company providing great 253 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: nationwide five G service without all the fancy retail stores 254 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: or stadium sponsorships. Instead, they pass along the savings to 255 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: you and support a US based customer service team that's 256 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: terrific at what they do. Talk texts plenty of data 257 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: for just thirty bucks a month. That's their plan. Compare 258 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: that to what you're paying this month. Pure Talk CEO 259 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: US veteran and Pure Talk cares about supporting veterans and 260 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: our military. When you become a pure Talk customer, you 261 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: have an option to support America's war, your partnership to 262 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: prevent veteran suicides, and when you make this which to 263 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: pure talk. There's no contract to sign, and you can 264 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: keep your phone and your same phone number. In fact, 265 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: the average sized family saves almost a thousand dollars a year. 266 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: Dial pound two fifty say Clay and Buck and say 267 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent off your first month.

Welcome back to Clay 271 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: and Buck. Right now, things are heating up off the 272 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: coast of Taiwan. You have Kevin McCarthy meeting in last 273 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: twenty four hours with Taiwanese President Si Si Ing when 274 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: and we've got Gordon Chang with us right now. Gordon 275 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: is the author of the Great US China Tech War. 276 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: Follow him on Twitter at Gordon g Chang. Gordon, thanks 277 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: so much, Thank you. Buck. What's going on, Gordon? We're 278 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: hearing about ships off the coast to Taiwan, some Bella 279 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: coast rhetoric from the Chinese he Communist Party, a US 280 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: member or the Speaker of the House visiting Taiwan. What's happening. Yeah, 281 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: at this moment, the most important thing that's happening is 282 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: that provincial authorities in Fujin announced a three day exercise 283 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: in the Taiwan Straight and in other waters around Taiwan, 284 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: and they said that they reserve for themselves the right 285 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: to board ships to ensure navigational safety. That of course, 286 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: is trying to close off international waters. And if the 287 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: United States has had any consistent foreign policy over the 288 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: course of three centuries, it has been the defensive freedom 289 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: of navigation, which means that China is directly challenging the 290 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: United States. And the issue is whether we will protect 291 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: that freedom of navigation or whether we will submit to China. 292 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: So where are we headed here? Gordon? Thanks for coming on. 293 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: You're fantastic every time we have you on to discuss 294 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: China and Taiwan in the looming geopolitical crisis there. Would 295 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you say that the risks are elevated now compared to 296 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: six months ago? Would you say that we're kind of 297 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: in a stationary, high risk environment. How would you assess 298 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: where we are today versus where we've been, let's say 299 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: during the tenure of the Biden administration. I think we're 300 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: getting closer to war, and I think war will occur 301 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: between the United States and China unless something changes, and 302 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: so far I don't see anything changing. The problem is 303 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: that the Chinese and the Russian leaders look at Biden 304 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: and think that they can basically do whatever they want. 305 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: And that was evident on the twenty second of last 306 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: month when Sejunping was leaving Moscow after his fortieth in 307 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: person chat with Putin, and the Chinese leader said, quote 308 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: changes coming that has not occurred over the last hundred years, 309 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: and to Putin he said, and we are driving this 310 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: change together. That means the Chinese leader believes that he 311 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: can do what he wants, that he's the boss of 312 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 1: the world, and that the United States is not a factor. 313 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: In Clay, I'm not saying that ciejum Ping is right, 314 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is it doesn't matter whether he's 315 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: right or wrong. What's important is what he actually is thinking, 316 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: because that will drive his behavior. And we have seen 317 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: some pretty aggressive behavior, and this announcement of interdicting ships 318 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: around Taiwan is just the most recent of these belligerent pronouncements. 319 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: If you think the United States and China are going 320 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: to have a conflict, Gordon, do you think it will? 321 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: And it's based in some way on the weakness of 322 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Does that then suggest to you that that 323 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: conflict could occur between now and election twenty twenty four, 324 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: or do you think it's something that happens after that. 325 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: It could be at any time. And the problem is 326 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: it's just the perception of Siejun Ping and Vladimir Puttin 327 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: about Biden. You know, the United States, the European Union, 328 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: and Britain were a coalition against Russia, and we were 329 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: so much stronger than Russia. And yet Russia decided to 330 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: invade last February because they felt, you know, the foot 331 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: and felt he could do what he wanted to and 332 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: that the US and allies and partners would not respond. 333 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: And so what we've got is a situation where bad 334 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: actors are on the march and Biden is not confronting them, 335 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: and right now, at this moment, it could be at 336 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: any time. Now. I think that the United States and 337 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: our allies and friends, by the metrics, are so much 338 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: more capable and powerful than China and Russia and their proxies. 339 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: But right now we've got a strong coalition with weak 340 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: leadership and the weak states. China and Russia and proxies 341 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: have strong leadership. And that's what makes this moment particularly consequential. 342 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: It's being a Gordon Chang, author of the great US 343 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: China tech War. Gordon. In some ways, the Biden administration 344 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: seems to have at least allowed some degree of continuity 345 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: with the Trump administration policies on China with regard to trade. 346 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, where have there been serious deviations from 347 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: the previous policy, either in tone or in substance. Well, 348 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: a couple of things, I mean, from Biden to Trump 349 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: has not been one awful. And so for instance, last August, 350 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: we had Biden's executive Order on semiconductors, which was a 351 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: major advance and it's going to cripple China's drive for technology. 352 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: But unfortunately we've had too many things on the other 353 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: side of the ledger. So for instance, Trump banned TikTok 354 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 1: and whee Chat, and Biden actually reversed that band. Trump 355 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: banned the importation of electrical equipment from China for the grid, 356 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: and Biden, on his first day in office, even before 357 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: the inaugural balls reversed that band, allowing us to be 358 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: open for Chinese sabotage. You go through all the things 359 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: where you're talking whether about Iran, Saudi Arabia, or you're 360 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: talking Morocco, Algeria, or many other places where biden foreign 361 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: policy actually is helping China, and China's goal, of course, 362 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: is to remove American influence. So China has been making 363 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: great advances because we've been helping them attack us. This 364 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: is just incomprehensible, but it's happening, Gordon. We obviously had 365 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: the disaster that was the Chinese spy balloon that went 366 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: across the country and started in Alaska and finished off 367 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: the coast of Carolina before we shot it down. I 368 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: believe it was NBC News that reported that China gleaned 369 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: a substantial amount of intelligence data from that spy balloon, 370 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: which was the opposite of what we were told that 371 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: the Biden administration claim they weren't getting anything. More importantly, however, 372 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: do you think that contributed to the idea that Biden 373 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 1: is weak and further, basically encouraged and enabled the Chinese 374 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: leadership to believe that Biden and this administration could be 375 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: taken advantage of. Absolutely even the idea that they would 376 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: start to send that balloon over American territorial airspace was 377 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: utter disrespect for the United States, and then they saw 378 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: something which is incredible if the reporting is true, and 379 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: I think it is. Biden was not notified until the 380 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: fourth day of that intrusion, which means that we have 381 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: the Pentagon not informing the commander in chief of a 382 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: major incident involving China. And I think that the Secretary 383 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 384 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Staff should be fired. There needs to be accountability because 385 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Biden's response was weak, but the response in the Pentagon 386 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: was incredible. And then the other thing about it is 387 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: not only did they get the electronic information that NBC 388 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: News talked about, the Chinese got something even more important. 389 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: They the Chinese saw the reactions of the US military, 390 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: and they saw the reactions of specific general officers to 391 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: this intrusion that they could not have gleaned from any 392 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: other way, and they saw a Pentagon that was totally incapable. 393 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: We've got a great military, but it is totally useless 394 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: if it is led by people who have no idea 395 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: of the enemy and have no idea how to use 396 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: American power to protect the American homeland. This was a 397 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: complete failure. This was a debacle, and I think that 398 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: the Chinese thought that they probably can do anything they 399 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: want in the Taiwan Strait or anyplace else because we 400 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: are not capable of using our power. What is a 401 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: firm response, Gordon? I mean you've brought up confronting the 402 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: Chinese for their aggression. Obviously, the aftermath of the surveillance 403 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: spying balloon floating slowly across the country. I think people 404 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: are more attuned to aggression from Beijing than they have 405 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: been in a while. What does it look like, though, 406 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean, what could the Bide administration do that you 407 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: would say, wow, actually they are taking it seriously now. Well, 408 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: the one thing they could do is Biden can get 409 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: behind this desk and in front of the cameras tell 410 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: China that we will defend Taiwan, that we will recognize 411 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: Taiwan as Taiwan if they want that, that will offer 412 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: a mutual defense treaty, that will preposition supplies on Taiwan, 413 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: which we didn't do with regard to Ukraine, by the way, 414 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: and that will base if Taiwan wants it, a small 415 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: US force to be a trip liyer like we've got 416 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: in South Korea, which has kept the peace for seven decades. 417 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: These are things that can avoid war, and people will say, yeah, 418 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: it's risky, But saying something as risky is not a 419 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: meaningful objection these days, because we are so close to 420 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: conflict that everything we do is extremely risky. And the 421 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: most dangerous thing a country can do is try to 422 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: re establish deterrens after it's been lost, and that's exactly 423 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: what the United States has to do. Now. We know 424 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: that World War two in Europe started when Britain and 425 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: France tried to re establish deterrence failed. We are pretty 426 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: much in that same situation today. With regard to China, 427 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: Gordon Chanting everybody follow him on Twitter at Gordon g 428 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: Chang Gordon, thanks so much, Thanks playing book.

We are talking about the crazy insanity 457 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: that has taken over our country, and we actually got 458 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: a ton of women who want to weigh in about 459 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: these latest advertisements, which to me, in many ways are 460 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: erasing women. One of our writers at OutKick buck she 461 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: had a really good tweet that she put out there, 462 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: and I feel like she speaks for many different women. 463 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: She's doing good work for us at OutKick, Amber Hardy. Yesterday, 464 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: after this ridiculous Nike ad started to circulate and obviously 465 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: coming on the heels of the bud Light ad that 466 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: is effectively erasing women, she tweeted out, and I think 467 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of women out there that would agree 468 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: with this day twelve because the big thing that this 469 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: Dylan mulvaney character does is he's been on TikTok counting 470 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: each day that he's been a woman, and he's only 471 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: been a woman for like a year or whatever it is. 472 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: And she tweeted Amber Harding Snyder, sorry, she just got 473 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: married day twelve thousand, four hundred and eighty two of 474 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: being a woman and not one corporate sponsorship yet. What 475 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: am I doing wrong? And I feel like there's a 476 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: lot of women out there who feel the same way. 477 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: Michelle and Alabama, you're a retired army vet. When you 478 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: see this thing, people trying to sell sports bras to 479 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: women by putting men in sports bras who have no boobs, 480 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think. I think it's horrible, 481 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: absolutely horrible. I have we have four children, two boys, 482 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: two girls, and the girls were somewhat tomboys. But never 483 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: in my WAFE streams nor my husband did we ever 484 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: think that they needed to be transigendered. I mean, you know, 485 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: I feel bad for women today. I feel bad for 486 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: the young girls coming up behind us, even our military women, 487 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: because now they're going to be competing with men who 488 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: want higher scores. Like on their PET tests they just 489 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: identify as a woman. So that does that mean if 490 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: they get to, you know, run with those scores, get 491 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: higher promotion points. Michelle, it's it's it's not fair. And 492 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: and thank you for calling in. I would just say, 493 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: Joe Clay, womanhood is in a in a healthy society, 494 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: which I think ours was healthier before the last ten 495 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: years or so. No, womanhood is a revered thing. And 496 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: you and I as guys. You married a long time, 497 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: me married a short I understand that a lot of 498 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: what we do as guys is in reverence of and 499 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: to appeal to womanhood that it's it's a it's a 500 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: special thing. You know, to be a woman in society 501 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: is something that has to be you know, nurtured, protected, revered, respected, 502 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: And to just make honestly make a mockery of it 503 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: in this way, he's absurd. I mean, I'm sure you 504 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: saw the Matt Walsh exchange, right, it's gotten millions of 505 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: views with a transgender EMT. And he asked the question 506 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: about and there are variations on those people have been 507 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: asking for for years now. But if somebody said that 508 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: they were having a miscarriage, but you know it's a guy, 509 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: are you going to check them for a miscarriage? And 510 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: the EMT says no, And you know, credit to Matt 511 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: Walsh at the Daily Wire for the exchange, but you 512 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: know there still is disbelief. People say like, well, you 513 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: can't even tell, you can tell? Actually yeah, I mean 514 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: it's not even just into the theoretical, and no will 515 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: be polite to people. They'll say, well you can't tell. 516 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: That's you can tell that it's a guy. So why 517 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: do they keep lying to you? Because their arguments are 518 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: terrible Nancy in Rhode Island. Your reaction to say that, um, 519 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: this is nothing new in the fashion industry. Um, I'm 520 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: fifty nine years old and I grew up, you know, 521 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: getting Vogue magazine every month, and since their early eighties, 522 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: starting in the early probably even before that, the women 523 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: that would model, Calvin Klein and Mew Mew and all 524 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: that were very unrealistic bodies for women anyways, their rail fin, 525 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: they have no breasts, they have no hips, and they 526 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: have graduated from that to just having men in the 527 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: print ads wearing the dresses. So what Nancy's talking about, 528 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, there are people who were There are 529 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: people who say that the fashion industry, which is not 530 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: necessary early you know, how do I put this? That 531 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: the fashion industry was pushing for androgyny a long time 532 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: ago based on who was setting now not across the board, 533 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: but high fashion, and this has been creeping into it 534 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: and becoming more and more mainstream for a while. Um, 535 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: but I don't really see necessary. I'm not really sure 536 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: what the connection is here between Look, what I would say, 537 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: unhealthy skinny models and transgenderism. Yeah, what I would say 538 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: is there is certainly the case that beautiful women who 539 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: were supermodels had not normal bodies, all right, I don't 540 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: think she was referring to not normal as in in 541 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: the app, you know, winning the genetics lottery. Yeah, there 542 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: were there were times when there were there were models 543 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: who were there were thin to the point where it 544 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: was clear they had eating disorders things like that. Yeah. Right, 545 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: But but you know, like you use Victoria's Secret for 546 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: a for an example when we were growing up, for 547 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: as Victoria's Secret became a dominant brand, their brand was 548 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: we want hyper incredibly good looking women. I've made this 549 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: analogy for a long time. Buck Uh. The gazelle Buncheons 550 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: of the world, let's just use her as an example, 551 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: are like NBA draft picks. They won the genetics lottery. 552 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: There just aren't very many people like them. And now 553 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: if you go walk like it's not like I'm in 554 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: the mall very often if you walk by Victoria's Secret, 555 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: they just have kind of a fat chick and Abra. 556 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: There was a there was a whole transgender people like 557 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: now selling the clothes. There was a whole um documentary 558 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: on Netflix actually about Abercrombie and how Abercrombie was effectively 559 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: destroyed by the woke or I should say transformed. I 560 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: would argue destroyed by the woke social justice movement UM 561 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: because they said that you know, it was um, what 562 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: was it? It was too beautiful? There are too many 563 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: straight people and too many white people. That was the uh. 564 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: That was the attack on it. And eventually the whole 565 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 1: brand effectively came him. And I don't think anyone wears AB. 566 00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: I think it still exists, but it's a it's a 567 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, I used to action back in the day. 568 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: Uh did you know this at Abercrombie at the while 569 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: I was in college.

Denise in California, Buck, 606 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Donna there she gets that. 607 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: That was maybe you'll said you know and then left 608 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: us on the cliff shortest caller opinion that has ever 609 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: been chaired on. You want to be like, you guys 610 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: know what's up? Click done? Denise in California. What do 611 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: you think, Denise? How do you guys? Um? Two points 612 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: I want to make about this Dylan Mulva anything, and 613 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: it's really irritated me. Um. These corporations are supporting and 614 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: promoting someone with a mental disorder or dysphobia, dysphobia some 615 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: kind or phobia. I don't know, dysphoria or phobia. Yeah, dysphoria. 616 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: Thank you. That's what I'm here for. That's why I 617 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: do the radio. Um. And they're also exploiting this mentally 618 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: ill person. Uh. Second thing is when you watch him 619 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 1: behave the way he behaves, which you guys talked about 620 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: it yesterday. Um, he's acting like a flamboyant, gay male teenager. 621 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: So he's not reflecting female behavior whatsoever. He's reflecting gay male, flamboyant, 622 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: gay male behavior. Why do you think women accept this? 623 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: Denise like because men? The argument we made on the 624 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: show is that there is no male equivalent, right. There 625 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: isn't a woman pretending to be a man who is 626 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: wildly popular with men, because I think men just kind 627 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: of feel sorry for these people. Women seem to be 628 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: lifting them up. There are lots of celebrity fake women. 629 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? I think I want there. 630 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: They're all liberals, That's what I think. I don't think 631 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: there's a conservative female, that normal thinking woman who thinks 632 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: any of this is okay. So when anything goes, everything goes, 633 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: and there's no rules. And so I want to be liked, 634 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: I want to be popular. I want to sell my brand. 635 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: I want and listen, I have stopped doing business with 636 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: Nike a long time ago. That was over the Colin 637 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: Kaepernick thing. But I stopped going to my makeup store. 638 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting to order my stuff online from other 639 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: businesses that I'm not going to support this, and I 640 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: think women, we don't have to get up and you know, 641 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: yell and scream. We just have to quietly make our 642 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: voices heard. I've sent my emails. They're not going to 643 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 1: care about me not buying Nike products. I'm one little 644 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: fish in the sea, right, But if we all just 645 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: collectively put a stop to it, and we can, we 646 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: outnumber these morons anyway. We your point by the way 647 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: they assume that people like you won't do what you're doing, 648 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 1: and that's why they've done this. You know, the left boycotts, 649 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: the right does not. That has been the paradigm for 650 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: a long time, which affects corporate behavior and major ways. 651 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for calling in, Denise. We'll come back. We 652 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: have more calls.
