Speaker 1: in right now, that you don't miss our discussion in

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: the first hour about the NSA spying on Tucker Carlson

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: and why it's such a significant story. Our two Bill

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: O'Reilly scrolled and came to hang out and shared I

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: thought some really intriguing opinions as it pertains to what's

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: going on in the Biden White House, about Trump's potential

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: desire to run again in twenty twenty four and who

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: he thinks might be the nominee for the Democratic Party.

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: All of that in the first couple of hours of

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the podcast. It will be up shortly after this program ends.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: We roll into the third hour here, and one of

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: my mantras for a substantial period of time has been

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: get woke, go broke, and one of the best metaphors

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: to use that overall concept and prove it has turned

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: out to be the NBA. Some of you are basketball fans,

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: some of you are sports fans, some are you are not,

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: But I do think the analogy that applies here is

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: fascinating because no sports league has become more political and

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: more left wing in the history of our nation then

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the NBA has over the past couple of years. And

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: for those of you who didn't pay attention, last year

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: they put Black Lives Matter on the basketball court, they

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: refused players did to play games after Jacob Blake was

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: justifiably shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And this year

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: they have continued to build on that negative connection in

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: many minds associated with left wing politics. They took names

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: off jerseys and instead started to put social justice warrior

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: slogans on them. Of course, they've continued to pocket billions

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: of dollars from China. The hypocrisy is my numbing Lebron

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: James says that the First Amendment isn't that there's a

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of problems with the First Amendment in this country,

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: solely so he can make sure that Space Jam two

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: ends up playing in Beijing. Lebron James will shut up

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: and says they'll never shut up in dribble unless China's

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: asking him to shut up and dribble, and then he's

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: very happy to do so. And all of these hypocrisies

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: have turned off a huge number of people that otherwise

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: we're consuming the NBA's product, and the ratings are telling

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: us that story. The data is clear, transparent and does

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: not lie. Now for a long time, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,

50
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, they built the NBA up Buck Sexton to

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: the point where when my Chael Jordan played in nineteen

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: ninety eight, over thirty million people were watching his Chicago

53
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: Bulls play against the Utah Jazz back in nineteen ninety eight.

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: Since that time, we have added fifty million people to

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: the United States and the numbers have now come out

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: for the NBA Finals and these are the second worst

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: in the modern era that they have ever been. Only

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: eight point five million people watch the NBA on Tuesday night,

59
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: Game one of the series. That is a monstrous decline

60
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: going back to two eighteen. Buck, that is down a

61
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: full fifty percent in the space of just a couple

62
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: of years, and that is down seventy five some odd

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: percent from the number of people who were watching Michael

64
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: Jordan play. This is a seismic disaster for the NBA.

65
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Not surprisingly, when people like me share this story to

66
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: get with woke, go broke narrative, which is one hundred

67
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: percent supported by the data. The people in the world

68
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: of sports who tend to be NBA apologist, they don't

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: want to face the numbers, and so they pretend that

70
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: this data is not real. To me, it's transparent and

71
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: it's clear. And I guarantee you you can weigh in

72
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: if this has been you eight hundred two eight two

73
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: two eight eight two. I think a ton of people

74
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: who like basketball and love sports have just said scion

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: r to the NBA over politics. And I know back

76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: in the nineties you were a Knicks fan, Buck, you

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: paid attention to that era of the NBA when it

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: was absolutely and it's heyday, the Michael Jordan era going

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: up against the Knicks, the Jazz, the back in the day,

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the SuperSonics, all these different teams that were trying to

81
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: get past the bulls. It was a beloved American institution

82
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: when Michael Jordan was there. Lebron James has destroyed the

83
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: brand of the NBA and they are now reaping the

84
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: politics of what they have sewn. And yet when I

85
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: go to find Clay on the internet, just as the

86
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: first story, I'm just looking to find out about the ratings.

87
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Because here's I'm somebody you brought up. I used to

88
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: watch the NBA grown up. I used to go to

89
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: games in Madison Square Garden as a kid. I used

90
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: to go to my dad, my family. I was a

91
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: big Knicks fan. Actually loved after that the Sacramento Kings random,

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when they had however, Stoykovich, Divas Bibby. I mean,

93
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: that was a super fun team to watch. And there

94
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: their battles with the Lakers. By the way, they were

95
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: pet than the Lakers and should have beat them in

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: that one final they got robbed by bad refs. Anyway,

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: But I used to be into it, so I feel

98
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: like I can speak from this perspective. I will not

99
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: watch the NBA period full stop, under any circumstances. Is

100
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: that political based for you, or had you sworn it off?

101
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Before the politics began, I'd say it's I'd say it's

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: seventy five percent politics, Yeah, twenty five percent. I also

103
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: just think that the product, I think it's a lot

104
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of guys doing. It's like a three

105
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: point shooting con test. But that's neither here nor there.

106
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: I think political for you, if they had not gone political,

107
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: you would be far more likely to care about the NBA. Well,

108
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: why why does why do sports? For a casual fan

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: like me? I mean, obviously, Clay, you're you're a sports

110
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: sports guy through and through. But for the casual fan

111
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: like me, one are the great things about it? And

112
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I think that we've lost something very very fundamental um

113
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: as a result of this. You have these things in

114
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: America that we can all celebrate and like together. You know,

115
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: you could talk to anybody. They're unifiers. They're places where

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: you come together and you can have fun rivalries. Right

117
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: like when I sit here, and you know, if I

118
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: were a big Yankees fan, I make jokes about the

119
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Imag's right, you know, it's fun to joke

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: around with with Boston folks about this, and it's a

121
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: way of it's it's essentially commonalty and it's comradeship and camaraderie.

122
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: Comradeship sounds a little Soviet, sorry, camaraderie. Um and and

123
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: the NBA just decided as a league, I mean, this

124
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: is the big It's not like one player. As a league,

125
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: they decided to sort of stick the thumb in the

126
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: eye of folks like me who don't. I don't want

127
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: politics in sports, period, and I certainly don't want people

128
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: acting like a bunch of overpaid babies, trashing law enforcement

129
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: and spreading lines. I mean, when Lebron James shared what

130
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: was it that we're being hunted when we leave our homes?

131
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: I think was the quote. That's a reckless and stupid

132
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: thing to say. I don't care who you are. It's

133
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: not even in the most reckless thing he's done. He

134
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: posted the photo of a Columbus, Ohio police officer who

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: was responding to a potential stabbing, showed up and fired

136
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: and protected the life of a girl that was about

137
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: to be stabbed, and Lebron James doxed him. He put

138
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: up his picture and said you're next, basically putting a

139
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: price on this guy's head now. He ended up deleting

140
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the tweet after that but you can watch the video.

141
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: The guy was wearing a camera himself. The photo the

142
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: still shots show that he shot a woman literally as

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: she was about to stab someone else. So he's had

144
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: to make a choice in real time. Do I allow

145
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: us stabbing and a murder to happen in front of me,

146
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: or do I protect the unarmed woman. Both of these

147
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: were women, both black women, and Lebron put him on

148
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: blast as if he was something other than a hero.

149
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: And again, in my industry, people give Lebron James a

150
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: pass on his idiocy because they're trying to preserve their

151
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: access right. That is one of the great flaws of

152
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: sports and I think media in general. If you only

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: have a job because someone will talk to you, then

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: you can't say the full truth because that person might

155
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: stop talking to you then. And so these numbers you can't.

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: There's no way to run from them. Although people in

157
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: my industry and people in the larger culture who don't

158
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: want this to be true, it's almost like looking at

159
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: the murder rate and trying to come up with a

160
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: reason other than defunding the police and disrespecting law enforcement

161
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: that it's happening. This is a political response. They have

162
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: turned off tens of millions of people. I just thought

163
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: it was funny because I mentioned this that I got

164
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: diverted this GQ article. The NBA Finals TV ratings will

165
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: be down and it doesn't matter at all. And it's

166
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: of course the right wing is making this stuff up.

167
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, the guy links you says, says, this

168
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: is you know, incorrect, lazy analysis. Yes, disinformation from Clay Travis.

169
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: This guy will leach And look, I mean to me,

170
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear, and this stuff does matter.

171
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: The culture does matter that we all live in that

172
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: whether companies feel like they have to be super far

173
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: left or whether they'll pay pay a price if they

174
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: antagonize half the country. This man. We should look look

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: at what social media people used to say, Oh Facebook,

176
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want. Really, look at how

177
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: powerful they are and they're left wing. And again there

178
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: are different roles for different companies. If your business plan is, hey,

179
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go after this half of the country, I

180
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: understand it. But to your point, sports was a unifier.

181
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: It cut across identity politics lines for so long. Your

182
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: team scores a touchdown and you turn in a stadium

183
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: to high five somebody. You don't think about their race, gender, ethnicity,

184
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: or religion or their sexuality. God forbid, it's just hey,

185
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: are you a part of my tribe? Right? Same thing

186
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: for basketball, baseball, whatever else it is. And what has

187
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: happened is to me, all of these leagues should be

188
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: trying to appeal to everyone, right because sports fans are Republicans,

189
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: sports fans are democrats, sports fans don't care at all

190
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: about politics. Whatever your brand, in my mind, if you

191
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: are a sports league, should be to appeal to everyone.

192
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: And that's why my book Buck was called Republicans by

193
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: sneakers too, because to me, that's a great line by

194
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. That's the era that I grew up in

195
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods as well, where great athletes want their performance

196
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: to speak for itself and want to appeal to everyone.

197
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's how you actually change the

198
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: country by appealing to everyone, not by trying to appeal

199
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to a tiny slice of people on social media. So

200
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: as a result, I really think Lebron James has basically

201
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: destroyed the NBA's brand, and it's emblematic for many companies

202
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: out there of what can happen if you decide to

203
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: go all in on the woke politics train, you are

204
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: losing a massive percentage of people that would otherwise be

205
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: interested in your product. Michael Jordan was a superhero to

206
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: me and millions of other kids growing up in this country.

207
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, and to say the superhero is not even exaggeration,

208
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: because there was even a cartoon. And I know if

209
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: you remember with Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky,

210
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I do remember that now that yeah, there was there

211
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: was an actual like they were superheroes because of the sports.

212
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: And he transcended, He transcended so much by becoming this

213
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: icon in America. And you just don't You just don't

214
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: have that the NBA anymore, and all the all the wokeness,

215
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: and I mean, you think about how much is a

216
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: lost opportunity here too, someone of that kind of stature

217
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: speaking about the need for communities, communities of color, all

218
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: communities to come together. You know, let's focus on bringing

219
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: families together, bringing people together, getting violence down, getting everybody

220
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: into school. There are these there could be a megaphone

221
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: of promising and productive messaging, and instead it's let's flip

222
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: our hoodies up. Because George Zimmerman or whatever what is that?

223
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: What is Yeah? The larger context here to me is

224
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: if athletes came out and said to their kids the

225
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: same thing I say to my kids, which is, if

226
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: a police officer asks you to do something, do it. Right.

227
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: If athletes just came out instead of saying the police

228
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: are awful, the police or the problem, if they just

229
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: came out and said, if a police officer ask you

230
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: to do something, comply, Because if you go look at

231
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: every single interaction that turns negative between just about every

232
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: single interaction that turns negative between police and the citizens

233
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: they're trying to protect. How does it all begin with

234
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: a failure to comply to basic police instructions. I'm a lawyer.

235
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I tell my kids this all the time. If a

236
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: police officer asks you to do something inappropriate and you

237
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: do it, we can sue later. Right. You can prove

238
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't have been stopped, you can prove that

239
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have been searched. All those things. We have

240
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: constitutional protections, But you have to begin all of those

241
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: interactions by showing respect for the police. That could be

242
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: a really powerful statement that would be made by athletes

243
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: across the country. They won't say it because they're too

244
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: focused on demonizing police and trying to make this country

245
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: look awful. They're becoming propaganda for China. People are seeing

246
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: through it, and the NBA has gotten awoke and their

247
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: ratings have gone broke. We've also got update everybody on

248
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: this door to door vaccine, campagne and so on. Now

249
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: with the Biden administration, the status of the COVID delta

250
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: soon to be Lambda, and then I guess you know epsilon,

251
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: the variants, the new variants. They're still pushing on all

252
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: this stuff. And if we have time, we'll get to

253
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: some of Biden's visit from yesterday and also your calls.

254
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: We want to hear from some of you, because I

255
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: know we've been We've been just rolling through it today.

Speaker 1: product that has made such a difference in the way

296
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: to your cat. I was when we had all the

297
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: lockdowns going on. I know a lot of people added

298
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: pets to their families, couldn't do as much my kids.

299
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: I have three boys, and my wife signed them when

300
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: they weren't in school to give a persuasive speech on

301
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: why we should have cats. So we have two Bengal cats.

302
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Like they're hypoallergenic. I don't even want to talk about

303
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: how much I spent on these things. The rest of

304
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: the family is in love with them and they just

305
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: basically run around and knock my rinks over all day

306
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: in the house. So we did want to we did,

307
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: we did want to talk to you guys all about vaccines.

308
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: We have to come into that actually in a moment,

309
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be going into just a quick commercial

310
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: moment here in a second. Also on the lines eight

311
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: hundred two eight two two eight eight two, we're gonna

312
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: get to some of your calls. But when we when

313
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna have some words of wisdom

314
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: from Rush on unmasking Americans be to our our our topic.

315
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: In the first hour, Clay Rush has some things that

316
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: we should all hear about what he thought when unmasking

317
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: was a controversy the first time around. Yeah, this is

318
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: why I encourage you guys to go download the podcast,

319
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: because I know everybody's busy throughout your day. You may

320
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: only hear a few segments. We had a really good

321
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: discussion about Tucker Carlson and why it should be scary

322
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: to everyone out there about the idea of our government

323
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: being able to spy on media figures. That was a

324
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: great discussion. Encourage you to download the podcast. Clay Travis

325
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton more on the vaccine ridiculousness when we

326
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: come back, but first born from the age of nine eleven,

327
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation carries forward a legacy

328
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: of courage and heroism to mark twenty years. Yes, it

329
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: has really been twenty years since nine eleven. Tunnels of

330
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: the Towers is gifting America's heroes and their families with

331
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: two hundred mortgage free homes. This is tremendous work that

332
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: they are doing to honor the fallen. Chairman and CEO,

333
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Frank Siller, walks more than five hundred miles through six

334
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: states and forty two days from the Pentagon to Shanksville, Pennsylvania,

335
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: culminating at ground zero on nine eleven. Towers of Light

336
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: return to the Pentagon and Shanksville Memorials in remembrance, and

337
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: for the first time, those lost to nine eleven related

338
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: illness are being honored at a ceremony on September twelfth,

339
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: on Veterans Day. Another first, the soldiers we lost in

340
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: the War on Terror are also having their names read

341
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: aloud the words never forget, require action, do good, and

342
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: take action. Now we need you to donate eleven dollars

343
00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: a month that t twot dot org. Welcome back to

344
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I'm Buck here

345
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: with Clay, and we were talking in the first hour

346
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: about the NSA spine controversy involving Tucker Carlson of Fox News.

347
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh himself spoke about the unmasking situation and just

348
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: the deep state and what it means in this country

349
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: when those kinds of police state powers are being used

350
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: as a political weapon, and what an enormous risk that

351
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: is for this republic. Here is rush on unmasking. These people.

352
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: John Brennan, James Clapper, Adam Schiff, the Hillary Clinton campaign.

353
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: These are not public servants. They are vicious partisans. They

354
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: feel so entitled a power that they feel freely capable

355
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: and entitled to actually ruining people in the pursuit of

356
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: their power. Look at the people whose lives have already

357
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: been damaged by this. Michael Flynn, Jeff Sessions. The story

358
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: is the Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee created

359
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: out of thin air, phony fake intelligence. Passed it off

360
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: as intelligence, It was treated as intelligence, it was acted

361
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: upon as intelligence. People were investigated because of it. People

362
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: had to hire lawyers because of it, people have had

363
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: their homes rated pre dawn by swat teams over a

364
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: fake opposition research document prepared by Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party,

365
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: in the Democrat National Committee that we were told was

366
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: legitimate intelligence. There has never ever been anything to it.

367
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: It has never ever been anything but totally fraudulent, fake

368
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: made up. All of the unmasking of Americans overheard in

369
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: wiretap conversations on the basis of this dossier, which the

370
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Director of the CIA said numerous times formed the basis

371
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: of his investigation, that opened the floodgates for unmasking Americans,

372
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: investigating Americans, accusing Americans by name by anonymous sources in

373
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the New York Times, in the Washington Post, in a

374
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: giant case of opposition research disguised as real intelligence. Everything

375
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Clay that Rush said there was absolutely spot on, and

376
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: it's also a pretty chilling reminder of the fact that

377
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: they got away with it. Brennan Clapper Schiff, the Clinton apparatus.

378
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Sure they didn't get to toss Trump out of office,

379
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: but the process was the punishment. They slowed him down.

380
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: They had a special counsel who knows what the Trump

381
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: the presidency could have accomplished without what it's really the

382
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate dirty trick of our lifetime. Well, and not

383
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: only that, let's just talk about the hypocrisy of it

384
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: for a moment, because and we're going to talk about

385
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: this some tomorrow on the radio program, all of the

386
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: absurdity of the January sex. That would be at least

387
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot more entertaining if we're talking about January sex

388
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: instead of January sixth. But the January sixth insurrection is

389
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: so absolutely ridiculous, the idea that that is challenging to

390
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: our democracy. When the Democratic Party and all of its

391
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: powerful apparatus argued that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president

392
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: for four years based on a few Facebook ad purchases

393
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: by Russia, that was a lie, that was an unmitigated,

394
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: impossible to challenge lie that lasted, as you mentioned, Buck,

395
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: for four years, and we're being told that to be honest,

396
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: it was a riot in a long string of riots,

397
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: the only one really that Republicans were ever responsible for,

398
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: starting in May all the way through January, we had

399
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: constant riots in this country, and the Democratic Party is

400
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: entirely focused on the one minor in the grand scheme

401
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: of things riot when they didn't care at all about

402
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: an entire summer of mostly peaceful protests as cities across

403
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: this country burned. It is the big lie, right, this

404
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: idea that democracy is threatened by Donald Trump, but not

405
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: by allegations for four years that Trump was an illegitimate

406
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: president because of Russia. And the propaganda, unfortunately, has been

407
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: very successful. There's a recent NPR poll that, I mean,

408
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: take it with a grand assault. It's NPR, but two

409
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: out of three people think democracy is under assault in

410
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: this country. I mean, you want to think about what

411
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: democracy under assault actually looks like, because there are other

412
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: countries where that has real meaning. To say that democracy

413
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: is under assault right now because of the insurrection and

414
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Trump's intransigence on you know, the election issue or whatever

415
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: it may be, is just as frankly outrageous. But you know,

416
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: we'll return, as Clay said, to the issue of the

417
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: exaggerated and over hyped quote insurrection, the January sixth situation.

418
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: And there are journalists out there who are actually quite

419
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: quite honestly having mental breakdown still over the issue, which

420
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: is astonishing. And and we did want to mention that

421
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: the White House, you would think they'd be a little

422
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: more cautious about sending what do they call them play

423
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: strike forces. It wasn't strike force, but it was. Was

424
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: it a strike force? I think I think it was

425
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: a vaccine strike force. Yeah, I think that's the term

426
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: they use. I mean, I could almost see like stormtroopers

427
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: and Emperor Palpatine and the tie fighters or something coming

428
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: into people's coming into people's homes. But here's the AJJS

429
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: Secretary Javier Bisera, who is pushing back on people like

430
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: you and me who are making fun of the door

431
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: to door concern here about vaccines. Perhaps we should point

432
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: out that the federal government has had it spent trillions

433
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.

434
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: So it is absolutely the government's business. It is taxpayer's

435
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: business if we have to continue to spend money to

436
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen

437
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: the economy. And so it is our business to try

438
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: to make sure Americans can prosper, Americans can freely associate,

439
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: and knocking on a door has never been against the law.

440
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to answer, but we hope you do,

441
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: because if you haven't been vaccinated, we can help dispel

442
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: some of those rumors that you've heard and hopefully get

443
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: you vaccinated. Nothing creepy at all. Clay about the government,

444
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. The government that says now that it's

445
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: their business who you see, who you hug, whether you

446
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: can breathe fresh air, whether you can go into your job,

447
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: whether you can worship in your church or synagogue or wherever.

448
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: But the reality here is, if we just went back

449
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: in time, the number one threat in terms of something

450
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: that you can control, because you can't control your age,

451
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: the number one threat in terms of something that you

452
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: can control from COVID was not wearing a mask. It

453
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: was not socially distancing. It was being in good physical condition.

454
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: It was exercising, it was going outside. It was walking,

455
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: it was running, it was hiking, whatever you are capable

456
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: of physically. The government instead told us shut down all

457
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: the parks, shut down all outdoor activities. You can't go

458
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: to the beach, you can't go on a hike, stay

459
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: in your home where the virus is going to freely

460
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: circulate much more, and don't get physically in better shape,

461
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: which is actually the worst advice that could have been given.

462
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: But the idea that they're going to knock on doors. Now,

463
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: remember two weeks to stop the spread, Bak. We're now

464
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: at eighteen months and they're knocking on your doors. They

465
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: shut down gyms and New York and they kept them

466
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: shut down even beyond when they said they would. So

467
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: this was a situation. Couldn't see anyone, couldn't go to

468
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: the gym. One wonderful girlfriend who is fortunately slashed, unfortunately

469
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: an incredible baker. So I was just eating the most

470
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: delicious treats, stuck it all the time with nothing to do.

471
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Not healthy, not good. We talked about basketball earlier, buck.

472
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: One of the craziest things out there they did. They

473
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: took rims off of basketball goals in public parks. Think

474
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: about how crazy that is our tax dollars. People climbed

475
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: up on ladders and took the rim off of an

476
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: outdoor basketball goal. They pad in skate parks in California

477
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: with sand. They pad locked public playgrounds in New York City.

478
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: The crime scene tape. They put up crime scene tape

479
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: early on around around playgrounds all over this kind. Any

480
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: person with their own critical faculties intact knew we had

481
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: a big problem there. Many times when we could tell

482
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: we had a big problem early on in this but

483
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: when the police rested the paddle border in the ocean

484
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: in California for COVID threat because not allowed to be

485
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: on the beach, not allowed to be on the open

486
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: water by yourself COVID, that was all you really had

487
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: to see to understand the hysteria. But you know, Clay,

488
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of lines lit. Why don't we

489
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: actually we want to bring some of the folks in

490
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: a moment. Yeah, let's we'll take calls to finish out

491
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: the Thursday edition of the program. But I want to

492
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: hop in here and tell you you want to preserve

493
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: all of your family's legacy, and that can take many

494
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: different directions. But how many of you out there right

495
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: now have VHS cassettes of big family moments, weddings, births,

496
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: young children, family vacations. How about old slides? How about

497
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: old photographs that are not digitized? You want to preserve

00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: So I'm to call me a Hispanic or whatever. But

541
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the point is is I wanted to say that, I'm

542
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: our family is a huge sports family, but since Colin

543
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Kaepernick decided to neel, we have not watched football in

544
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: our home. We have we don't watch basketball. And Americans

545
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: that are wake up. I'm from Venezuela, and I tell

546
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: you I'm very We're a very patriotic family. And I

547
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: don't need to give my money to these um you know,

548
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: these teams that are just you know, they're they're ingrates,

549
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: say they're making a bazillion dollars and for what and

550
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: what did they do for our country, for the people

551
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: that have fought and died for the privilege of them

552
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: to play a game of football, basketball, whatever, baseball, and too,

553
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: can I just say I'm one hundred im with you.

554
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: And also you're yet another instance of what I've seen

555
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: throughout my life, which is that some of the most

556
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: patriotic Americans you could ever find are those who left

557
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: other countries, came here, immigrated to this country the right way,

558
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: and understand how special it is because of that. Venezuelans

559
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: and Cubans and Florida particularly get that. Well. I've been

560
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: telling everybody, we're doing a huge tour called saving our Republic,

561
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: ensuring liberty. And I tell people all the time. I said,

562
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: if you continue to become apathetic, disengaged, its interested, and

563
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: you lose America. I ask your audience, where do you

564
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: go from here? We need to start standing and seas

565
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: In six thirteen says and having done all, you stand.

566
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: But you have to know what you're standing for. You

567
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: know everybody in the world wants to come here? Where

568
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: do you all go? And I will give I will

569
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: give anybody that calls in. They love socialism so much,

570
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: how you can call me and I will give them

571
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: a free ticket to Venezuela the Compui did you got

Speaker 1: thanks for listening. We appreciate it. Great to have you,

575
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: great to have you with us. Let's go to Bob

576
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: in also in Florida. In Inverness, Florida. What's up, Bob, Hey, good,

577
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: Hey Clay. I have a quick question, and thanks for

578
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: all these guys too. You might know what are the

579
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: ratings for the college sports since this all started? Because

580
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: I know, me and my friends we watch sports all

581
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: the time, but we are now watching college sports because

582
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: we won't watch the pros. Yeah, it's a good question.

583
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: They have not collapsed anywhere near what happened with the NBA.

584
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: For instance, the National Title Game in college basketball this year,

585
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: I believe did right around seventeen million viewers. That is

586
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: almost ten million more viewers than watch the NBA Finals.

587
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: So there's still a market for basketball out there. It's

588
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: just not a market for woke basketball. College football obviously COVID.

589
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the numbers for college football in terms

590
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: of a non COVID season, which is what we're seeing

591
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: now in many ways for the NBA. But college football

592
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: has also retained its audience. The NFL retained its audience

593
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: pretty well. No one has tanked like the NBA has.

594
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: Nick in Denver, Colorado, what you got for us? I

595
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: just want to say, I'm basically with your caller, Sue

596
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: By lifelong sports stand thirty five years as a narcotics

597
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: detective here in Denver. Um, I gotta tell you, I

598
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: I quit watching the NBA a while back. Lebron James

599
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: himself and his antics ruined it completely for me. Now

600
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: it won't be turned onto my house. Um, it kills

601
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: me to not watch the Broncos I'm not gonna lie,

602
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: I sneak a quarter in here and there. But we

603
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: used to. We used to live our lives around Sundays

604
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: and you know, make chicken wings and you know, I

605
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: mean we did that all the I mean it was

606
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: our entire Sunday was So what do you do on
