We talked about our travels, Buck 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: Sexton's wild experience on Spirit Airlines trying to get back 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: to New York City over the weekend. I was on 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: the road down in Atlanta, watched the Braves play with 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: My boys on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Massive crowds, great experience, 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: robust Fourth of July for some people, even though the 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: New York Times and Congressman Corey Bush, as we've been 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: talking about, did their best to tear down the United 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: States of America as many of you have gotten used to. Sadly, 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: We've also got a lot of things that we've been 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: getting into over the course of the program.

If there's an 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: American who it could be said hates America, one hundred 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: percent chance their politics are left of center. It's pretty 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: remarkable when you think about it. It is wild that 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: that's where we have found ourselves. And as we talked 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: about in the first hour of the program, the thing 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: that maybe stuns me the most about the anti american 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: Ism and also the anti American flag people out there 39 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: is if anybody had a reason to be anti America 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: right now, it would be huge Donald Trump supporters. It 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: would be people who didn't want the Senate to end 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: up being run by Kamala Harris. It would be people 43 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: who are as adamantly opposed to Nancy Pelosi as any 44 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: fiber in there being. Yet, even though Democrats have the House, 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: they have the Senate, and they have the White House 46 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: right now, the people who are the most aggressive about 47 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: saying America is a great place are the people who 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: are Donald Trump supporters. They're the ones who have a 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: reason to be angry. Yet it's the leftist who are angry. 50 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of angry, well, we don't get angry about our politics, though, Clay. 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: We're happy warriors. That's how we do it here. That's 52 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: how we try side. That's what we try to do. 53 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: I want the Ronald Reagan vibe. What I've always said 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,279 Speaker 1: is there are a lot of people who are good warriors. 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who can be happy. 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: But the combination of the two is rare. And if 57 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: you nail it, and I think Ronald Reagan nailed it 58 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: back in the day, if you nail it, then you 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: end up as an iconic figure in American history. Very 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: few people can do it. That's what the Republicans need 61 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: to nail in twenty twenty four with whoever is the nominee, 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: because Joe Biden or Kamala Harris are going to get 63 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: absolutely trounced. I really firmly, one hundred billion percent believe 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: that if the right nominee happens in twenty twenty four, 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: and I think there's probably a trouncing coming in twenty 66 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: twenty two beforehand, as typically happens with the party out 67 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: of power regardless. But one of the big stories Buck 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: has been all about diversity and inclusion over the past 69 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: several years, and I want to play a couple of clips. 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: This was a feature story in the New York Times. 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: Let me give a little bit of a background here. 72 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: We have reached the NBA Finals. I know a lot 73 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: of you are not watching the NBA, in particular because 74 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: of the political nature of the league, and by the way, 75 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: you have millions and millions of compatriots. The NBA finals 76 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: this year maybe the least watched of most of our lives. 77 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: Last year was the least watched. So regardless, we're going 78 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: to have the two least viewed NBA finals in any 79 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: of our lives before all is said and done. But 80 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: there is a flare up a kerfuffle as you described 81 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: at buck Sexton inside of ESPN Rachel Nichols, red haired 82 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: reporter for ESPN to describe her for some of you 83 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: who may be familiar with her, She was the host 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals show, which airs on ESPN and 85 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: ABC last year in the bubble, in the midst of 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: black Lives Matter and all that jazz the political nature 87 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: of the NBA, they replaced Rachel Nichols with Maria Taylor, 88 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: a black woman. Rachel Nichols despite being super woke and 89 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: the kind of person that lectured all of us about 90 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the North Carolina transgender bathroom bill and why it was 91 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: fantastic that the NBA pulled their All Star Game out 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: of Charlotte, which, by the way, set in motion buck Sexton, 93 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: what ended up happening in Atlanta when Major League Baseball 94 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: followed their lead and pulled the All Star Game and 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: put it in Colorado. She was all fine and dandy 96 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: and woke and hated Trump supporters and everything was hunky 97 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: dory in her world until suddenly she was replaced by 98 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: a black woman. She was quarantining at the time inside 99 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: of the NBA bubble. She thought she had turned her 100 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: camera off buck Sexton. Unfortunately for her, she was having 101 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: a conversation with one of Lebron James's top advisors, and 102 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: this entire conversation was recorded and now was distributed and 103 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: The New York Times did an entire feature piece on 104 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: this yesterday. Here is some of that audio play cut one. 105 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Very d have be times I don't know what their 106 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: next move is when they're feeling pressure because of all 107 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: of that, and um, I'm trying to figure out I 108 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: would just hear my thing is I think I was 109 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: reading hear her all the success in the world. She 110 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: got her football, you got her basketball. Did you need 111 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: her to give her more ins to do because you're 112 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: feeling pressure about your like cracking one time greater Anniversity 113 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: or by the way, I myself like no personally from 114 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: the f side of it, like go for it, just 115 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, find it somewhere else, like they're not going 116 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: to find it then taking my bag way. I just 117 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: can't hold on. I hadn't heard that audio until just now. 118 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: I read the story because you said it to me 119 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: over the week we talked this. But I want to 120 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: do a real time reaction. I cannot believe although I 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: can and We'll talk about why, because I understand the reasons, 122 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: but no person would hear that and say, oh my gosh, 123 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: in fact that she was speaking in a private conversation, 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: and that's that I mean to me, you should be 125 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: able to say what she said in an HR meeting 126 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: in any fortune five hundred company in America and not 127 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: get into trouble. We know that's not true, but I'm 128 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: just saying, was there not all? Wasn't the whole point 129 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: of what we saw with the with the BLM movement 130 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and the protests and the riots, lots and lots of 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: riots protest. What wasn't it too? Yeah, mostly paceful when 132 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: things are burning down and cops are gonna hit in 133 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: the face with bricks. Wasn't it to get corporations and 134 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: all of America to do more for communities of color? 135 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: Wasn't the whole point of this to pressure, including the NBA, 136 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: including every major corporation. But you see, whether it's this 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: issue or it's affirmative action as a function of law, 138 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: there are people who want the policy but then insist 139 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: on us not discussing the reality. You cannot say we 140 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: want more diversity and inclusion and then calm us but 141 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say that somebody may have benefited 142 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: from a diversity and inclusion initiative, or that people in 143 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: general from certain groups and backgrounds may be benefiting from that, 144 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: because that is a mandate to not discuss the very 145 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: reality of what you are demanding. All right, now, Buck, 146 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna you love that, all right. I want you 147 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: to hear this other clip. So the person that she 148 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: is talking to is one of Lebron James's top advisors. 149 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: So this is super incestuous, right because she covers the MBA, 150 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: and you can't really cover the MBA very fairly when 151 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: your first thought when you lose something is to call 152 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: this guy and strategize with him. So I want you 153 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: also to hear this cut from also their conversation. This guy, 154 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: Lebron James's advisor, is the one who founded his get 155 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Out and Vote campaign and tried to get Felons the 156 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: right to vote. And if you have to listen carefully, 157 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: but he says I'm so over all this BLM and 158 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: me too stuff, and Rachel Nichols laughs, which is evidence 159 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: of how much BS, even guys who are pretending to 160 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: be super woke, it's all a show. It's all a sham. 161 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to his advice to her, 162 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: and also tell me you aren't rolling your eyes when 163 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: he's out there beating the drum on BLM and me too, 164 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: when he's like, I'm so over this BLM and me too. 165 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: Here's the second part of this conversation. There's just one 166 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: serie of the table for a minority of whichever version 167 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: of this week or trying to please Now. I thought 168 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: some of that was a little a little bit hard 169 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: to make out, So clarify if I missed anything, let 170 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: me know. But let's just to be very clear here 171 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: from what you've said right before this sound bite was played, 172 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: that that we are seeing a couple of things. You're 173 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: one is that you're not allowed. There are allowed. There 174 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: can be demands for diversity, but you cannot speak about 175 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: how that means that there'll be people who are getting 176 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: an advantage in the job market or getting further consideration. 177 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: It has to be kept very general. That's one part 178 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: of it, right, And that's, as I said, true of 179 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: affirmative action as well. Like you, if you show up 180 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: in a college campus you say, oh, it's you know, 181 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: I love all the diversity here and they say that's great, 182 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,239 Speaker 1: and then you say, okay, well are they changing standards 183 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: for some people based on SATs and grades? All of 184 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, ever, gets very tense or not allow to 185 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: talk about that, okay. And it seems here that what 186 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: we have are people who are Look, you know these 187 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: sports folks better than I do in terms of their politics, 188 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: but I'm assuming they're probably left of center, or at 189 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: least they present left of center on this issue. And 190 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: what we have once again is they hold certain beliefs 191 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: out in public that will be advantageous and that's effectively 192 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: you could call it corporate virtue signaling, right, it's it's 193 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: good for the corporation. But behind closed doors they think 194 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: a lot of this is nonsense. BS two, I am 195 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: I missing something, no, And I'm curious what people think 196 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: out there listening, because there's obviously sports fans who hear this. 197 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: But to me, this is at the essence Buck what 198 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: you're nailing here. This is about diversity and inclusion, and 199 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: people oftentimes in the woke media allies as they're called, 200 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: are all in favor of the idea of having diversity 201 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: and inclusion until suddenly it impacts them it's the not 202 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: in my backyard phenomenon, right. Rachel Nichols is like, Hey, 203 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: you feel like you have an issue with diversity. That's fine, 204 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of it, but you're not taking 205 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: my thing away. Yeah, she's going to fire a bunch 206 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: of associate writers for the website and fill that with 207 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: diversity inclusion. Don't take my spot as the producer, I 208 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: mean as the reporter, right, Yeah, And she also says, Buck, 209 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: those same people, meaning people who are trying to take 210 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: her job away, who are like generally white, conservative, male 211 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Trump voters, is part of the reason I've had a 212 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: hard time at a ESPN. Rachel Nichols directly, hold on, 213 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: who are the white I know something about white conservative 214 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: male Trump voters here, Clay. Who are the people at 215 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: ESPN who are making these decisions? Who are white, conservative 216 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: male Trump voters? Zero? Right? This is the thing, Buck, 217 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm the only person in all of sports media at 218 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: the time in twenty twenty who said, hey, I'm voting 219 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. People think that the political media is 220 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: left wing biased, the sports media like it's literally the 221 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: entire universe, at least publicly, and me and maybe your 222 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: buddy will came like, there's almost nobody who would be like, hey, 223 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: you know maybe the sports media, the sports which is 224 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: based stocracy. What about stool presidente? Is he is he 225 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: kind of a is he kind of a populous central Portnoy? Yeah? 226 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: I think Portnoy may have voted for Trump. I'm not 227 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: sure if he publicly endorsed a candidate. But the fact 228 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: that you can pull out like three people in all 229 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: of sports and be like, hey, these guys were the 230 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: ones who voted for Donald Trump, Well, I got crazy. 231 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: I got nothing after that, by the way, Like that 232 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: was the one name that came to mind other than 233 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: you two. The only person publicly that worked at ESPN, Fox, 234 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: CBS or NBC, I'm on daily television and and said 235 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm voting for Donald Trump was me. And So what 236 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: I think is interesting about this in a big, you know, 237 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: large scale discussion is to your point, Buck, people like 238 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: things in theory, but when it comes down to the 239 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: nitty gritty, they don't want to actually talk about the 240 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: particulars here. And to me, Rachel Nichols is a perfect 241 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: example of this. She's a huge liberal when it doesn't 242 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: impact her life, but as soon as it impacts her life. 243 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: She's like, oh wait a minute, what's with this diversity 244 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: and inclusions? And I got news for anybody who doesn't 245 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: already know this, which I think is no one who's 246 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: listening to us right now. This is what all the 247 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Libs say behind closed doors. They say amen. They all 248 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: are all of a sudden, they sound a lot more 249 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: like conservatives when it comes to what's going on as 250 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: it affects their job, their tax rate, their neighborhood, their security, oh, 251 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: all these things. They have a very different tune than 252 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: what they say for the wokeness in public. But we'll 253 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: come back to more of this in a second. We'll 254 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: take your calls. Eight hundred two eight two two eight 255 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: eight two eight hundred two A two two eight a two. 256 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: Did you hear anything in that ESPN audio Clay told 257 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: me right before we came on here that it was 258 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: the number one trending story yesterday. Is there anything shocking 259 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: in any avout of it? I want to hear from 260 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: the folks out there. But we've also got to remember 261 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: we have obligations, folks, to those who serve this great nation, 262 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: and there's something we can all do about it. That's 263 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: where the tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in. They help 264 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: all of us keep our commitment to never forget.

That's more than five hundred miles through 271 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: six states in forty two days. And it's the month 272 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: of August through nine to eleven and towers of light 273 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: buck are going to shine at the Pentagon and Shanksville, 274 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Memorials in remembrance.

It's not acceptable, Ladies 340 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: and gentlemen. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is now going to 341 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: replace Joe Biden. President Biden is going to replace Welcome 342 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: back to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. This is Buck. 343 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: That was Trump, and oh my, there's really nobody out 344 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: there with the reach, the megaphone and the sheer fearlessness, 345 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: at least on the political scene, the sheer fearlessness to 346 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: wade into political correctness, I mean, Clay. Whereas there can 347 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: be times that people feel like they're walking around a 348 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: mine field of PC, Trump is like the mine sweeper. 349 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: He goes, he does not care, he does not hold back, 350 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: and it's one of the things that honestly I missed 351 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: most about having him out. That's good that he's back 352 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: out there in the national scene and there's no doubt 353 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: and look, we're trying to do that and continue to 354 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: uphold the legacy of Rush Limbaugh in that same respect 355 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: as robust believers in the First Amendment. You may not 356 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: agree with us, you may sometimes think we're crazy, but 357 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: unlike much of the modern media apparatus that is out there, 358 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: we're not going to run scared from telling you for 359 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: three hours every day exactly what we believe. And I 360 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: think to a large extent, that's why Trump cut through 361 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: so much of the bs that exists in the political universe. 362 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: And I gave we just had Stephen Jackson the NBA 363 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: players audio just before we took a quick commercial break 364 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: there where he was saying that people say stuff, whether 365 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: it's black people, white people, that they say stuff behind 366 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: closed doors about how they feel when it comes to 367 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: decisions being made for look for for reasons that people 368 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: object to, you know, because you're getting a job, because 369 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: you are you know, filling the blank, whatever it may be. 370 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: We would be much better off in general if liberals, 371 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: and you know, if liberals said in public what they 372 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: say in private about all these issues. But here a 373 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: perfect example of this. Over the weekend. It came out 374 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: the the demographic that is by far and really the 375 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: only one that is clearly in favor of defund the police. 376 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: Well off white liberals. That's it. That's who actually wants 377 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: defund the police. You'll live in at least need the 378 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: police in the entire world. You live in a three 379 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: million dollar house in Park Slope or a six million 380 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: dollar mansion in the San Francisco Bay area, and you 381 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: vote for Pelosi and Biden and you know, Schumer and whomever, 382 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: and you think defund the police because you know, you 383 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: have your neighborhood watch and you can pay for private 384 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: security and you have cops that will actually show up 385 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood. This is the fundamental problem. The left 386 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: doesn't want the elite left in America doesn't want to 387 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: have to live under the actual consequences they enforce upon 388 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: all the rest of us. And we see this even 389 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: in hiring decisions at places like ESPN or you know, 390 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: positions being moved around with an ESPN. Well, I think 391 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: what's so fascinating about the Rachel Nichols perspective, to build 392 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: on what you said, Buck, is this is not a 393 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: new position that was being created by diversity and inclusion. 394 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: This is someone who directly lost her job to someone 395 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: else based on, in her opinion, the race of the 396 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: person who was replacing her. And she said out loud 397 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: what is not supposed to be able to be said 398 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: out loud. And by the way, the other part of 399 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: this story, Maria Taylor refuses to speak to Rachel Nichols, 400 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: will not allow her to be on the radio on 401 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: the television program that they do where they speak back 402 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: and forth to each other. I don't know what the 403 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: fallout is here. Like, let's pretend Buck that I always 404 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: like I always say, one of the best ways to 405 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: prepare for making difficult decisions. And this goes for anybody 406 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: out there who's young. Let's say you're away on college. 407 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: Let's say your twenties or thirties, you're working your way up. 408 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: Pretend you're the boss. If you are ESPN's leader right now, 409 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Pataro, Buck Sexton, what would you do in this scenario? 410 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Do you pay the black woman Maria Taylor, who it 411 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: seems clear is trying to extort you for more money 412 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: than she would otherwise make. Do you put Rachel Nichols 413 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: back in position? Do you try to move on from 414 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: both of them and just say, hey, let's try to 415 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: find somebody new. How do you solve this issue? Because 416 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to brand the president of ESPN, Jimmy Petaro, 417 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: as a racist in this story for The New York Times, 418 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: because he hasn't sufficiently responded to this Rachel Nichols audio 419 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: calling into question Maria Taylor's job. I think what happens 420 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: here is there's a reliance on the woke insurance policy 421 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: that places like ESPN think they build up over time 422 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: from making lots of public pronouncements in favor of BLM 423 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: and in favor of transgender equality or whatever it may be. 424 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: So they always expect that they'll have just enough leeway 425 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: to push forward and move on. In terms of the 426 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: actual decision making about about these reporters, I honestly I 427 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: couldn't even begin to tell you which one of them 428 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: is more or less deserving it. I honestly couldn't care less. 429 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, and I mean this respectfully. You couldn't pay 430 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: me to do sports reporting like I don't care, Like 431 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: I would never want to do that for a job. 432 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: So I understand why it's not something that I'm gonna 433 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: be able to weigh in on, But I would say 434 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: that you also have to always remember that when people 435 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: demand a certain standard be applied, and this case, the 436 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: standard in corporate America is you have to that diversity 437 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: and inclusion initiatives, which means the elevation of some sexual 438 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: orientation and gender and racial minorities, the elevation of those 439 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: groups as a function of policy. You have to also 440 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: be willing to discuss the possibility that there are people 441 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: individuals who benefit from that. It is not possible to 442 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: have a policy that does not affect individuals when the 443 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: whole policy is about elevating individuals for these reasons. And 444 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: this is the cognitive dissonance, this is the disconnect the 445 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: left has on all these issues of wokeness. Well, and 446 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: here's the reality. Neither one of these women matter in 447 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: terms of audience, right, And it would be different if 448 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: you're talking about Stephen A. Smith or you're talking about 449 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss, one of those guys that is being paid 450 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: tons of money that is the focal point of their show. 451 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: If either of these women were removed from their programs, 452 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the ratings would change at all, which 453 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: is why you're now in a battle over women who 454 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: aren't even differentiators in terms of the overall audience that 455 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: they produce. And no matter what you choose, you're damned 456 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: if you do, you're damned if you don't. You're either 457 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: going to be sexist or racist no matter what you do, 458 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: which is where the logical extension of left wing arguments 459 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: leave us. Every single thing is racist or sexist. I 460 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: think it's time for us to give some uplift here, 461 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: because we're talking, we're getting deep into these politically sensitive issues. 462 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: Though it's fun to have Trump just do what he does, 463 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: throw some haymakers, but let's also bring back a voice 464 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: here that can shed light on Independence Day and the 465 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: reason to celebrate it for all. That's right, Russ Lumball 466 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: back on July third, twenty nineteen. This goes back. I 467 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: forget how many years, but it's recent, like in the 468 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: last ten years. This is a Harvard survey. They found 469 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: that images, patriotic images of say the American flag, fireworks, 470 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: this kind of thing. Things. The visual images, the graphics 471 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: that are associated with patriotism remind people of Republicans. They 472 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: promote Republican party values or in this case, conservative values. 473 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: That that's what this is about. The Democrats know full 474 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: well when people are exposed to American symbols and patriotic 475 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: displays and songs, their political leaning moves to the right. 476 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: Shortly after that study was made known, that's when we 477 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: became engulfed in this Kapernet crap, the tearing down of 478 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: our history that's called art and free expression. Had to 479 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: topple statues, had to get rid of the flag. We 480 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: now know this thing going on with Nike. This stuff 481 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: is not accidental. It's stuff is It's not just the 482 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: evolutionary status of the American protest establishment and the dissent movement. 483 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: It is perfectly strategically targeted, so they get to play 484 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: politics on the fourth of July. We don't, we want 485 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: to handcuff ourselves. Okay, okay, right, you're right, we shouldn't 486 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: politicize the fourth We have the politicize because these people 487 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: are politicizing everything. And now we got the media, the 488 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: Democrats out claiming that the president's politicizing it, when the 489 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: whole existence of this country is a political miracle. And 490 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: to say that the Independence Day holiday is not what 491 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: I think what the Democrats mean by this is it's 492 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: not the property of one party. Well, then join us. 493 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: You're the guys abandoning us. You're the guys on the left. 494 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: You don't wanting to do with a flag, you know, 495 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: wanting to do with patriots him. You want to sit 496 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: there and tear it all down. It's exactly what we've 497 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: seen in the last few days from the left. It's 498 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: what we've been talking about here. Rush knew, Rush saw it, 499 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: and he was always fighting against it. We will take 500 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: your calls here in just a moment. Thank you for 501 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: being patient with us.

Same with Clay. My own 508 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: got stolen. I'm holding a copy of the legal title 509 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: to my home and here's my signature that says I 510 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: sold my home, only I didn't. Well, luckily that's just 511 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: a demo from home title Lock, because it was real, 512 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: I would have already lost my home to identity thieves. 513 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: Here's how cyber criminals get you. The title documents to 514 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: our homes are kept online. The thief forges your signature 515 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: on a quitclaim deedsdaty you sold your home and he's 516 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: the new owner. Then he takes out loans using your 517 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: home's equity and leaves you in debt. You know, Clay, 518 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: I spoke to a notary recently when I was actually 519 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: purchasing a property. I asked, or I said, how easy 520 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: is home title fift. You looked at me like you'd 521 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: be shocked. How simple this is? Yeah, and that's why 522 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: I have Home Title Walk as well. Buck because the 523 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: instant home Title Walk detects someone tampering with my home's title. 524 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: They helped shut it down.

Jerry in Stratford, Connecticut. Jerry, 552 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: you're on the Clay Travison buck Sexton Show, first time caller, 553 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: mega double didos and it's a real honor for me 554 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: to be following your analysis presented by Rush a couple 555 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: of years ago. I want to quick comment on ESPN 556 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: and a quick comment on the woke destroyers on ESPN 557 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: for people who are fed up with their racializing everything 558 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: and ABC who people are fed up with, you know, 559 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: ABC racializing entertainment as ESPN does at the sports I 560 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: would simply remind them that Rosanne Barr wasn't fired by ABC, 561 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: she was fired by Disney. This is Disney, Disney, the 562 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: company that wants you to spend fifteen hundred dollars a 563 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: day when you visit the company that wants you to 564 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: spend three hundred dollars a month for their live streaming services. 565 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: It's Disney that insults you. And so just remember that 566 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: when when you know, they never pull off anybody on 567 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: the left for being an idiot. Right, So it's Disney 568 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: doing this to your country and your culture regards that 569 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: the woke regarding the woke mob. Yes, we all recognize 570 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: that our forefathers and fore mothers were great people, but 571 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: they weren't saints. We know that they had flaws in 572 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: but they accomplished great things. But what I want to 573 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: focus on is the people who hate them, who criticize them, 574 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: the iconic class. They want to destroy statues. They've done 575 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: nothing in their lives of merit. They've done nothing to 576 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: say I have a body of work and of merit 577 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: that allows me to be critical of the past. It's 578 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: the exact opposite. It's like they are the they're the 579 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: stains on the fabric of American life. They represent all 580 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: that is bad and nothing that is good. And so 581 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: when we hear the people screaming, oh, get rid of 582 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson, get rid of George Washington. You have to remember, 583 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: the people screaming it haven't done a damn thing for 584 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: anyone else in their families and their communities around the world. 585 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: They haven't said it child, they haven't still the hospital. 586 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: They've done nothing. They're literally the worst of the worst. Jerry, 587 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: I gotta say, I think that what we do see 588 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: are the the people that are the most, the most woke, 589 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: the most left wing and radical in their politics. And 590 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: I look, I'm not a psychologist, nor do I play 591 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: one on radio, but they're very unhappy. I will the 592 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: people who wanted, you know, who are always focused on 593 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: tearing down, whether it's Thomas Jefferson or as we talked 594 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: about last week, the Conquisador one day in New Mexico. 595 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure pronouncing it properly. Um, they're they're unhappy, 596 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: miserable folks. And that's because I look, I think leftism 597 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: is ultimately a series of emotions that emanate out from emptiness. 598 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: But that's just my that's just my take. I think 599 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: you're right. I think you hit on it when you 600 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: said that they Wokeism has a replaced religion in the 601 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: far left wing. Yeah, it is their religion and their 602 00:34:53,880 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: geniaflecting at the altar of wokeism. Sharon in Seattle, Washington, Sharon, welcome, Hello, 603 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: and good day. I want to start by saying, I 604 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: think you guys are doing a great job and you're 605 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: picking up where a Rush left off, and I am 606 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: one of many who are grateful for that. And so 607 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: I've already gone to your podcast given me a five stars. 608 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: I hope you beat MPR two. Thank you. I was 609 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah, you're welcome. I was listening to the 610 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: clip about I was Stephen Jackson who was responding to 611 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: the Rachel situation and the comment that he made like, yeah, 612 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: we all hate it when we're passed up for a 613 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: job that we're fully qualified, and he went over and 614 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: over again how he was fully qualified jobs. But I 615 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: think it's kind of a fundamentally wrong assumption that you 616 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: think you're fully qualified for a job and got passed 617 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: up because we all go in interviews not knowing exactly 618 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: what the boss wants and not knowing exactly what is expected, 619 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: but you answer questions and you make this interview. I 620 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: just think it's a bad assumption to think I was 621 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: fully qualified for this and got passed up for any reason. Sharon, 622 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: this is an excellent an excellent point, because you don't 623 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: actually know. A lot of people make assumptions about this stuff. 624 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: I've I've been rejected in my life for tons of 625 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: job jobs I didn't even want that. I've gone an 626 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: interview for it, and I've never really known. Maybe they 627 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: didn't like my swoop of hair. You know, who knows, right, 628 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you just don't know. But 629 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: people will make assumptions about this, and there's something else 630 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: we always have to remind remind ourselves up. It's definitely 631 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: true in media, and I think it's true in most 632 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: jobs that are competitive. There are a lot of good options. 633 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: It's subjective at some level, and you're always replaceable. That's right, 634 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: and that's why, honestly, it's frustrating that these kind of 635 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: conversations come out of sports, Buck, because sports is the 636 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: ultimate meritocracy. You can tell whether somebody's good or not 637 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: on the field, on the court, and so the arguments 638 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: that spiral out of sports that are so woke are 639 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: particularly frustrating because anybody can tell who the better athlete is. 640 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: I want everyone to do something right now. We've got 641 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: some end of day homework for you, besides subscribing to 642 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck section Show podcast, which you've 643 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: been listen to in the iHeart app wherever you get 644 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: your podcasts, the Apple Store fun.
