12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: And now we get into the rebellion of parents in

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: Loudon County, Virginia, a place I know pretty well from

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: time that I've worked in northern Virginia for the federal government. Langley,

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Loudon County pretty close by, and you had well, I

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: think one of the best ways to explain what's going on,

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: there's a rebellion against CRT. There are people who are

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: greatly upset at both the transgender policies as well as

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: some of the critical race theory instruction. Here's a sense

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: of what's going on, what's being said. Let's play cut ten.

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Everything I thought about how I existed in my white

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: body in the world was very wrong. We're unpacking wrong

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: things that we've been taught in history class. There's a

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: period of deep shame for being white and for acknowledging

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: the harm that our ancestors have caused. White accountability groups

26
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: are really helpful in terms of having a place to process,

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: having a group of people whose responsibility it is to

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: call me on things or to challenge me. The more

29
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: you kind of dive into that, the more I'm really

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: realizing how deeply rooted racism is. Until like my everyday

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: thought process, no matter how much you work at that,

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: there's still even almost more work to be done. So

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: this is some of the of the left wing theory

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: around CRT. We'll get into the parents and the Loudon

35
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: County rebellion Clay, but this is actually from the Washington

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Post had a video out that was talking about white

37
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: accountability groups. I so we talked about the fact that

38
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: over half of Americans have been born since nineteen eighty one.

39
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I went buck to public school in Nashville, Tennessee K

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: through twelve integrated public schools. And I'm wondering as I

41
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: sit and I listened to these kind of clips, what

42
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: am I accountable for and for a grand scheme of

43
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: things here? What am I supposed to be apologetic for? Moreover,

44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm at least forty two. I was born around nineteen

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: eighty nineteen seventy nine, to be exact. But what are

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: my kids accountable for? And that's what these parents that

47
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: we're going to hear from in Virginia are talking about

48
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: right now, Buck. They're raising I think, legitimate questions about

49
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: young kids being instructed that because they happen to be

50
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: born white they are racist, or because they happen to

51
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: be born black, they are victims, long before they even

52
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: have come to understand very much about themselves at all.

53
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: And ultimately, what this critical race theory is designed to

54
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: do is destroy the basis for American exceptionalism. That's really

55
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: what it is, right, because if America is not an exceptional,

56
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: exceptional democratic country which people are dying in to get

57
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to every day, Buck, then all of our institution can

58
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: be torn down and destroyed because at their root, as

59
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: critical race theory would argue, they are not worthy of

60
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: protection because all of our founding documents, the Constitution, the

61
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, according to critical race theory, and according

62
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: to this ridiculous sixteen nineteen project, all of it is

63
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: rooted so despicably in racism that none of it can

64
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: be supported any longer. Undermining key documents foundational concepts of America.

65
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: If you were a radical revolutionary leftist, that would be

66
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a really useful thing to do. If you wanted the

67
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: r i say, fundamental transformation of this republic, it would

68
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: be very helpful to get rid of not just are

69
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the shared bonds of our history, but also some of

70
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: the institutions, namely the Constitution and others that keep us

71
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 1: on the same bunch of old white guys were involved

72
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: in Buck. That's what the critical race theorists would tell us,

73
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: and therefore we don't need to care with those. So

74
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: the White Accountability Groups video was put out that we

75
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: played for you just a moment ago from the Washington

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Post on Friday as part of its series The New Normal.

77
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: And those are some of the basic critical race theory

78
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: concepts in action, which is that you have to confront

79
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: your whiteness. You have to essentially to your point about

80
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: what's the responsibility here? Embrace intersectionality. This is the left

81
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: wing framework for an interlocking oppression all throughout our society.

82
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: It's there is a hierarchy. Some people are oppressed, some

83
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: people are victimizers, and we have to always take that

84
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: into account. And it doesn't matter what your individual actions are.

85
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: In a sense, this eradicates individual morality and actually agency,

86
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: because if you are, to your point about your kids,

87
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: if you're responsible for something you did not do, have

88
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: no hand in, and they can't even point to an

89
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: action that contributes to that you have done as a person,

90
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: what are you If we're all collectively guilty, No one's

91
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: really guilty. Is how this all starts to break down.

92
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: And what it is is so myopic in many ways, however,

93
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: because it only focuses on a relatively small part of

94
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: human history. Because if you are actually interested in world history,

95
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: what is fascinating to me about American life in existence

96
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: is what a tiny pin prick we are of the

97
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: overall world history. And ironically, with the whole sixteen nineteen project,

98
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: I know you're a history guy. To Buck sixteen nineteen,

99
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: we were British colonies. If you're really fired up about reparations,

100
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: and no one ever makes us argument, but I do

101
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: think it's a fascinating one. From a historical and logic perspective.

102
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: The United States as an independent nation only had slavery

103
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: for eighty years seventeen eighty three when we won our

104
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: independence from England to eighteen sixty three, when the Emancipation

105
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Proclamation was officially taking effect. Eighty years, so sixteen nineteen

106
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: up to seventeen eighty three. If you're angry about that, hey,

107
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: that's Britain, Go get reparations from them. You got an

108
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: eighty year window. But since eighteen sixty three, pretty long window. Now,

109
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: there has been no slavery in the United States. So

110
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: we're talking from sixteen nineteen all the way up to

111
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the present day, about eighty years when the United States

112
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: of America had slavery, and even then it wasn't in

113
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: every state. To give you a sense of how radical

114
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: the left wing argument on this can become, they'll even

115
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: start to say that because it's more that oppression is

116
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: more invisible and more passive, and you have more subconscious racism,

117
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: we have to work even harder to eradicate it because

118
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: it's everywhere and it's omnipresent, don't you see it? Maybe

119
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: at a low level, it's almost like a virus that's

120
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: freely floating in the air. But somehow they can't tell

121
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: us who's actually getting sick or who's responsible for it.

122
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: This is the way that they get they are able

123
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to continue with the cirec rhetoric. I did want to

124
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: have of Rachel Pezzani, who was on Fox and Friends

125
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: in the morning, who's one of the parents at Loudon County,

126
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: to bring us back to the Loudon County CRT rebellion.

127
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Here is how she describes what her kids actually get

128
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: taught in school. At the school board meeting that had

129
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: a big fight about it. We'll get into it. Here's

130
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: what she says. The parent protests won't stop. I mean,

131
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: we are an army of moms and parents that will

132
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: not stop until we're heard. So they commute our mics,

133
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: they can arrest us, they can kick us off of

134
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: public property. We're not going to stop. They will fire

135
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: any teacher that is not culturally in agreement with the

136
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: school board and their tactics. This is insanity in America.

137
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: This isn't freedom of speech, not freedom of religion, it's

138
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: racism and it's cloaked in socialism, well said. And I

139
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: would point out this as well, Buck, in what you

140
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: were just talking about and what she is talking about

141
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: in Virginia and what is going on all over this country.

142
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: There has been a big shift, and you're seeing it

143
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: in the talking points, which is very Orwellian. I had

144
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine from law school recently. She said,

145
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, you really need to go back and read

146
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four again, because a lot of people talk Orwellian.

147
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: They use that adjective Buck to kind of describe what

148
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: things are going on, but most of us are thinking

149
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: about what we may recall from reading that book in

150
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: high school or when we were younger. And so I

151
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: recently went back and started to read that book. Same

152
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: thing with Fahrenheit four fifty one. So much of it,

153
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: and frankly, if you want to read Animal Farm as well,

154
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: so much of it is about changing what basic words mean.

155
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: And the one that goes to the essence of this

156
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: with critical race theory, and you're seeing it happen. Pay

157
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: attention to how often you're seeing this now. For most

158
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: of my life, Buck, we talked about equality in America.

159
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: What we sought was equality. Now, equality is a difficult

160
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: goal to reach because we're all fundamentally different in many

161
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: different ways. We all have different attribute we all have

162
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: different flaws. So equality is an aspirational goal. So what

163
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: we are seeking is equality from the government. In other words,

164
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: the government treats everyone equal. Now what you're seeing, and

165
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: it's only happened in like the last year. Everybody's seeking equity,

166
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: which is something that is vastly different than equality. Equity

167
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: is about charging people and making them pay a price

168
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: for something they may have nothing to do with at all.

169
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: And I want all of you out there with us

170
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: talking about this conversation, start to pay us in buck.

171
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that, of course it's changed from equality

172
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: to equity. I think it's so seductive in the way

173
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: that the talking points changed, and I think those words

174
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: are similar enough that people don't focus on it as much.

175
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: But CRT is about equity, not equality. Even the expansion

176
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: of what we were talking about yesterday, white supremacy everything

177
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: everything it used to be. White supress emacy as a

178
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: term was universally understood in America as hateful, neo Nazi,

179
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: active racist, bad people who ta KK burning the cross

180
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: in people's yards. That was white supremacy. They were on

181
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: the fringes, rightly so, of society, a tiny, tiny percentage

182
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: overall of the American people. And yet now because of

183
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: the association of white supremacy and rightfully so very bad

184
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: now they've said, well, college admissions can be white supremacy

185
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: and these other and and that then forces in the

186
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: same Orwellian word game fashion, it forces people to defend

187
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: what the left has now decided falls under this umbrella

188
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: of white supremacy. What do you mean that you don't

189
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: want there to be equity in hiring? Don't you want

190
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: to don't you want to dismantle structures of white supremacy.

191
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: It's it's a trick, but it's a very effectible and

192
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: just one more very clear example of this Clay. We've gone,

193
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: because we talked about immigration today, we've gone from illegal alien,

194
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: the official federal government term in the US legal code,

195
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: to then it became more illegal immigrant, to then it

196
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: became undocumented. Right, that's an important shift as well, because

197
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: they don't want to, they don't want the term to

198
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: actually reflect illegality, even though that's what we're talking about.

199
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: All you got to do with the undocumented is give

200
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: them documents. That's all that it has. Amnesty is the solution.

201
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: You see, there's no problem anymore. It's downright terrifying when

202
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: you think about it, and I know that many of

203
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: our listeners are out there thinking about it on a

204
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: daily basis. And I think about this from the perspective

205
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: of a parent because I've already been through school. I

206
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: went to public school K through twelve, for better or worse.

207
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: But I think a lot about what my kids are

208
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: being taught and what they are being taught about American history,

209
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: and to me, as a nation, we have to ensure

210
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: that we have a universal narrative that we can all

211
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: believe in in America as the Shining City on the

212
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Hill was what I grew up in my multi racial

213
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: school studying. And now we're hearing a pressor victimization equity.

214
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: The Loudon County School superintendent declared a meeting, this was

215
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: just in the last twenty four hours, declared a meeting,

216
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: an unlawful assembly. They were Actually we're getting the point now, Claire.

217
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: This is why I'm using the term rebellion. But parents

218
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: are getting arrested over this because they insist on having

219
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: their voices heard, and education bureaucrats don't want to hear it.

220
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: They prefer the situation of the right just being silent

221
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: and allowing this to happen. It's insane, it's ridiculous. So

222
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to break it down. But in the meantime,

223
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: I want you guys to know the tunnel the Towers

225
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: the foundation's honoring GoldStar and fallen first responder families with

226
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: young children and catastrophically injured veterans and first bonders with

227

Speaker 1: two hundred mortgage free homes. Chairman and CEO Frank Siller

228

Speaker 1: is paying tribute to the fallen by walking from the

229
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Pentagon to Shanksville and on to Ground zero, more than

230
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: five hundred miles through six states and forty two days

231
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: the month of August through nine to eleven. And again,

232
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I know for a lot of you out there, it's

233
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: hard to believe it has been twenty years, come nine

234
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: to eleven, since that awful day in New York City.

235

Speaker 1: Twenty years. A generation towers of light are to shine

236

Speaker 1: are also being read aloud at a ceremony on September twelfth,

239
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: and on Veterans Day, the names of those we lost

240
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: in the War on Terror will also be set out loud.

Speaker 1: guys should include and Coulter on the show a little

255
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: bit AND's a good friend of mine, so that's no problem.

256
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Actually told me that we were going to do that

257
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: at some point, So she will be a she'll be

258

261
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: She's great. Um No, I just want to call I

262
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: think our obsession with critical race theory um is a

263
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: little silly because I'm a teacher here at Saraso, Florida,

264
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: and the curriculum is already talks full of what's called

265
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: post colonialism, subaltern theory in Marxhism and all of it.

266
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: What do you teach, Travis, I teach world history. And

267
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: so you're saying the structure of the of the what

268
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: you are teaching in Florida has already been dictated to

269
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: uh to basically be getting to many of the things

270
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: that are driving people crazy about critical race there. And yeah, Travis,

271
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: just so I'm clear, are you saying that we're we're

272
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: too ups It seems like you're telling us to be

273
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: more obsessed with it. So why why as conservatives? What

274
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: what are you? What's your what's your beast we're targeting

275
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: the trendy critical race theory when it's just critical race.

276
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: There is just a combination already. So you're you're saying

277
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: CRT is that is the shine, the object of the

278
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: left wing indoctrination that's occurring in the school curriculum, and

279
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: a much more I'm not gonna keep using word systematic today,

280
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: I hope, but a much more top to bottom fashion. Right.

281
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: So that's that's what you're telling us basically, Travis, you're

282
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: here to say we're all screwing. Oh yeah, it's even

283
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: worse than we thought. Well for years, I mean for

284
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: thirty years. Yes, Okay, right now, Travis, what would happen?

285
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: What would happen if you push back? Just give it.

286
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: As a teacher, what would happen if you push back

287
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: on some of that? I'm totally in the closet as

288
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: a teacher. We have an underground, We have an underground,

289
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: you know, Trump supporters and Republicans around campus, but we

290
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: don't we don't let that that out to awful. Well,

291
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: that's the good news is you can hang out with

292
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: with with fucking Clay here every day in our in

293

Speaker 1: our cave, so to speak, our our freedom, freedom, bunker

294
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: or cave. So you're you're good to go with us

295
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: right here, man, And you know we should, Clay, We'll

296
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: take some more folks on this because I know it's

297
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: a it's a topic that gets a lot of people

298
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: fired up. But also we got the big Rhonda sentist

299
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: thing you're gonna tell everybody about in just a few moments.

300
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: Here he's taken action. Yeah, we're gonna play a clip

301
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: from Ron de Santis fighting a battle. But first we

302
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: got to tell you you don't have to give big

303
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: tech websites access to your data. That's why I choose

304
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: to protect my online activity by using Express VPN. This

305
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: is a big deal because you are able to protect

306
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: yourself using anonymity so that you don't get taken advantage of.

307

331
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: I barely understand. My kids tell me I should spend

332
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: more time there. We've been talking a lot about the

333
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: defund the police movement. I have made the maybe two

334
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: optimistic r Buck that you don't necessarily buy into that.

335
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: I think the new York City may oral race killed

336
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: the defund the police argument. You think it might be zombified.

337
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: It's a it's a shot in the bow, so to speak.

338
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: It's not really even across the bow. But I don't

339
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: know if I look, I would I did even place

340
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: a bed. It's not gone forever. I'm not even sure

341
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: it's gone for now, but it's hurting right now. It

342
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: is on the ropes. Taking some body blows. Might be

343
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: getting a standing eight count if you're a boxing fan.

344
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: And Rush Limbaugh talked a lot about defunding the police.

345
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: I think he would agree with much of what we

346
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: have said. But let's go ahead and let you hear

347
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: from him about the absurdity of this decision. OK. I

348
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, the level of incompetence and some of

349
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: the formerly most trustworthy, reliable institutions is one of the

350
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: greatest elements of this Country's used to be able to

351
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: count on things. There used to be institutions that were reliable.

352
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 1: You trusted the people in them, You trusted when they

353
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: came out and said something, especially if they were focused

354
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: on public safety. And now that trust it just isn't there.

355
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: And the answer, the reason why is not that complicated.

356
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: It is liberal political corruption of these institutions that has

357
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: led to all this. Now you've got people questioning what

358
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: they hear about any like. For example, the left is

359
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: serious about defunding police departments, but yet there's a poll

360
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: out that shows most people don't think that's what they

361
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: really mean. They do mean it. People don't believe that

362
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: the left is serious about defunding the cops, Well, they

363
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: are terribly mistaken. The anti police are not shy about it.

364
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter says on its website it wants to

365
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: defund the police to invest in communities. They're dead serious

366
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: about defunding the police and replacing the police with themselves,

367
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: social workers or what have you. We've talked about how

368
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: many cities and towns or to send social workers to

369
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: respond to nonviolent emergency calls instead of the cops. And

370
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: I have told you, I have warned everybody that this

371
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: is a way for the left to infiltrate normally conservative

372
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: police departments with progressives, social workers, left wing sandal wearing,

373
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: birkenstock clad, long haired maggot infested no under armed order.

374
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: It it'll socialist daycare workers running into your house pretending

375
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: to be cops. I mean, who's more progressive than social workers?

376
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: Never mind that it means social worker is going to

377
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: have to deal with drug addicts and the mentally ill,

378
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: and believe me, those kinds of people can become violent

379
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: without warning at any time. This is going to lead

380
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: to the death of social workers. It's going to lead

381
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: to massive lawsuits against the cities and towns. I think

382
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: that the key here that Rush is getting at Clay

383
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: is that we should take the left at their word

384
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: and then understand that once enough people figure out what

385
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: their real plan is, what the left's actual planment it

386
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: comes to police, then they start to play these games,

387
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: and we should make sure we understand that there's dishonesty

388
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: going on. Defund the police a perfect example. They say

389
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: they want to defund the police. It starts to happen,

390
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: and then when when the backlash, the counter revolution in

391
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: a sense, gets under way, they start to say, well,

392
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: we don't really mean defund police, we mean imagine police.

393
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: They have these different terms that all of a sudden

394
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: come out, and that's just meant to deal with the

395
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: news cycle and the public's attention and try to make

396
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: it so it's not as clear as it should be

397
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: in the public's mind generally speaking, that in places like

398
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and Austin and New York and you know, name

399
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: a city, there are a lot of them out there

400
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: where there was at least east a consideration of defunding,

401
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: if not an actual removal of dollars from the budget.

402
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: And we need to see right now, we need to

403
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: make sure that everyone sees that this resulted in really

404
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we talk about politics and you know, Clay,

405
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: it's the marginal tax rate, or it's foreign policy that

406
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect anybody here, but we'd like there to

407
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: be some agreement somewhere between third parties whatever. This matters

408
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: to all of us, to everyone that your streets are safe,

409
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: that law enforcement is supported, that people know that the

410
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: police are essential to their safety. And you know, especially

411
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: state and local law enforcement. They come from the communities

412
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: they serve, they're your neighbors. They want the streets, they

413
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: want the neighborhoods to be as safe as anybody else,

414
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: and it's their job to do so. Undermining them, it's

415
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: what always say about the BLM movement, just makes everything

416
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: worse for everyone. Actually, it creates more tension and more

417
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: distrust on both sides, and the result of tension and

418
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: distrust is more issues. Remember if everyone in every viral

419
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: police interaction video had immediately complied with the police, they

420
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: don't get escalated to the next level. And that's what

421
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: so fires me up about so many different athletes. If

422
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: they would encourage compliance with police, then we would have

423
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: less violence in the streets period. But the idea that

424
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: police are creating violence, what you're seeing is they're preventing

425
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: it because as they're retiring, as they're being defunded, as

426
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: they are being disrespected, the crime rates are skyrocketing all

427
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: over the country and even Joe Biden is acknowledging it now.

428
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about that some with you guys tomorrow.

429
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: But when we come back in a moment, we're going

430
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: to talk about Ronda Santis and the punches that he

431
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: is throwing in the state of Florida. But first, Buck,

432
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: what you got for me? We love the family dog, Tellula.

433
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: We want to make sure she's with us for a

434
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: long time in the Sexton household. She's a little friend.

435
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: She she can be a little snooty sometimes, but we

436
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: want to get her the best food who possible. He

437
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: can that's why we give her rough Greens. Now, look

438
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: understand this rough Greens is not actually dog food. So

439
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: whatever your dog food is, whether it's the super fancy

440
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: stuff that should be delivered to your dog by a

441
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: guy who's like a a server, or if you're just

442
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: whatever you get in the grocery store, you add rough

443
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: greens in to the dog food. Okay, it's a healthy

444
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: supplement you put into your dog's food that has the

445
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: live nutrients that are necessary for superior dog health because

446
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: the usual dog food doesn't have this stuff in it,

447
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: and it's going to mean so much for your furry

448
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: friend if they actually have this added in. Simply put,

449
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: rough greens, this is what you need. Rough Greens is

450
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: the head to tail nutrition that your furry friend has

451
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: been missing. Your dog can't make this decision for himself

452
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: or herself, so you have to add rough greens into

453
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: your dog's food. The folks that Rough Greens are so

454

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Clay Travis and Buck Saxton Show.

467
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: I am Buck Sex and mister Clay Travis here right

468
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: with me, and we are I cannot believe at the

469
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: latter part already of the show. We usually try to

470
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: do something that's a little bit too positive, uplifting, you know,

471
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: get let's give us all hope, especially these days. You

472
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: got this crazy Democrat administration. A lot of things. You

473
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: could complain about it, and I will, by the way,

474
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: sometimes be complaining about how bad Joe Biden's policies are.

475
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: But I also want to point to the good stuff,

476
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: as does Clay. Governor Rhonda Santis. He he is at

477
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: this point it's like he just keeps doing not just

478
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: victory laps, but he's spike in the football, running up

479
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: into the stands and kissing the opposing quarterbacks girlfriend. That'd

480
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: be a hell of a play. I'd be next level,

481
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, I love I'm ready for football season by

482
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the way, to be back. But if we had a

483
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: celebration of we're scoring the winning game, the winning games,

484
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: the winning touchdown, and then sprinting into the crowd to

485
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: make out with the opposing quarterbacks girlfriend, that would be

486
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: a next level brawl that I would love to see.

487
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: That's what we need in Alabama, Auburn, Ohio, State, Michigan.

488
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: That level of anger and discord I would really embrace.

489
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: So here's what Rhonda Santis is doing in Florida. He

490
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: is pushing assigned now a bill that would teach kids

491
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: about the evils of authoritarian, totalitarian commist ideology. Play it.

492
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: I put in a civics requirement in twenty nineteen for

493
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: high schools. We're expanding that to include discussions of the

494
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: evils of communism and totalitarianism. And then also we're creating

495
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: a Patriot Museum Patriot Library where we have stories of

496
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Floridians who fled from communist regimes, from Cuba, from Nicaragua,

497
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: from Venezuela and beyond, and so this will show the

498
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: effect that these bad policies had on people's freedoms and

499
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: livelihoods and their families. Many of them in South Florida,

500
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: for example, lost family members to communism. I think it's

501
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: important that we get this in the classroom and provide

502
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: an honest assessment of what this totalitarian ideology has done

503
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: for the last hundred plus years. I love this, and

504
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: I love that he also ties it into the He's

505
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: referring to the Cuban community, primarily in South Florida play

506
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: and what they had to flee. I have friends, I

507
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: even have a friend who was at the Bay of

508
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Pigs who really understand in very visceral, very clear terms,

509
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: what totalitarianism does to people, what it means. And I

510
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: will say, some of the most patriotic Americans I've ever

511
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: met are people who fled totalitarian governments, came here and

512
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: joined our American family. They love this place. Well, what's funny.

513
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: First of all, Ronda Santis continues to win. I was

514
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: texting during the show with one of my friends from

515
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: law school whose family is Cuban and lives in South Florida,

516
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: and we texted a lot during the course of the

517
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential campaign. And one of the storylines that

518
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: does not get enough attention is the massive amount of

519
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: support in the Hispanic community that Donald Trump got Cuban

520
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: Venezuelan people who have fled socialist governments and know what

521
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: socialism actually represents. And so I give credit to Ron

522
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: de Santis, because again there's lots of people, lots of

523
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Americans who take for granted what democracy and freedom truly represents.

524
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: And this is why so many people who come to

525
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: this country are dying to get here, because they know

526
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: what it's like not to have freedom of speech, not

527
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: to have the ability to say what they really believe,

528
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: and also to trust the institutions of government to protect

529
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: them from that government. And so if we don't allow

530
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: the evils of communism and socialism, if we don't allow

531
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: those stories to be told, then we are failing the

532
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: younger generation. We just had that caller from Sara So

533
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: to Travis who said, you got to be careful and

534
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: you guys don't have any clue what's actually being taught

535
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: to our kids. We gotta punch back. And this to

536
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: me is just indicative of what Ron de Santis is

537
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: doing in Florida, which is a larger microcosm of the

538
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: world as a whole in the United States. The reason

539
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: why he's having such success there is because he's touching

540
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: on a variety of these different subjects, not just in

541
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: a symbolic way, but in a substantive way. And I

542
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: would say my friend, author and political consultant Ryan Gurdusky

543
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: had had a great tweet where he said, Governor Santists

544
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing here, but it was governor to Santists,

545
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: makes you wonder what all the other Republican governors have

546
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: been doing all this time, and he's taking action instead

547
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: of just I think there was a lot of Republicans

548
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: for a while here got used to one Trump carrying

549
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the load in the media for them,

550
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: but also that they could just say, well, I would

551
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: do all these great things if only when the Santist

552
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: is showing that if you're the governor of a state,

553
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: there's even when the federal government's in Democrat hands, there's

554
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot you can do to make some of these

555
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: things better. And then one other thought I have about

556
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: this Clay is that there's a recognition now on the right,

557
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: and this is why Rhonda Santist this fills a number

558
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: of important holes what he's doing. There's a recognition on

559
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: the right that when you're talking about school curriculum, there

560
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: is no vacuum. This is not this is not creating

561
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: a free speech playing field of these concepts of a

562
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: neutrality that can never really exist. What should we be

563
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: teaching kids in school? We've largely and that caller, great

564
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: caller we had from Florida actually was saying, it's not

565
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: even just CRT, it's all across the curriculum. Why should

566
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: we see that they're going to be taught something right?

567
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: There's there's no vacuum situation here, So why shouldn't the

568
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: right say we have things that we would like to

569
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: be taught in schools? Well, and I think this goes

570
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: to a lot of parents recognizing what their kids are

571
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: being taught because of COVID, where suddenly you're more privy

572
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: to what's going on because of the remote learning, and

573
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: you're more involved in your kids instruction. What I would

574
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: also point out about you're talking about the state governors.

575
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Thank God for federalism as it pertains to COVID, and

576
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: you talk about Greg Abbott in Texas and Ron de

577
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: Sant to me in Florida, both of those guys. If

578
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: you compare what they did in Texas and Florida with

579
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: what Cuomo did in New York and what Gavin Newsom

580
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: did in California, if we didn't have federalism in place,

581
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: I think we might all still be locked down. Because

582
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: DeSantis and Abbott looked at the data and said, we're

583
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: going to open up our states. And that's why I

584
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: like both of these guys, because despite all of the attacks,

585
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: Cuomo and Newsom never looked at the data. They curled

586
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: up in the fetal position and they listened to the

587
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: faucis of the world. And what I believe these astute

588
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: Republican governors are recognizing is there's a lot of fluff

589
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: that happens every day on social media. Donald Trump, I

590
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of times got caught up in that fluff.

591
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would have said, hey,

592
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: tweet less, I love what your policies are, but we

593
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: don't need all the distractions every day. To me, what

594
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: some of these Republican governors are taking a lesson from

595
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Trump on is we need to fight, but we need

596
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: to fight strategically, and the clip we just played at

597
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis is very strong evidence of that. I

598
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: hope other governors and I think they are. I would

599
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: note Governor Abbott of Texas, who was I give him

600
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: on the pandemic? Uh, well, what do you give Abbott

601
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: on the for pandemic response? So I would give De

602
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: Santis an a right of course, be best of any

603
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: best in the country I would give. I would give

604
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott a solid A minus. Like I don't think

605
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: that he was an A plus, but I think look,

606
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: and I'm using for instance, he was the first guy

607
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: who had a full stadium. They opened up seventy thousand people.

608
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it a lot from the sports perspective,

609
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: getting back to normalcy the Texas Rangers. He drove a

610
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of that, but he did a lot of extra

611
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: credit homework at the end, Clay, because if you go

612
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: earlier there, Texas was pretty locked down for a while.

613
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: Some of this some of the cities of of the

614
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: state of Texas lockdown. And I bring this up not

615
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: just because I want to give Governor Abbott au I'd

616
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: give him a B minus anus maybe it'd be well

617
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: relative as a Republican governor. I'm judging. I'm judging across

618
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 1: the Okay, there's fifty governors. To me, DeSantis is one

619
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: of all fifty governors, and I think certainly you'd have

620
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: to put Greg Abbott, given the size of the state,

621
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: in the top five or six. I would even I

622
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: would even be I would even say top three. I'm

623
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: just being a harsh greater here because I feel like

624
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: we have to have some that is a B minus,

625
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: is a brutal brain. I want him to do a

626
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: little more, you know, a little more homework. I want

627
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: him to do a little bit better going forward. But look,

628
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: it was it was because of Desantists that Abbott realized

629
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: we got to start thinking for ourselves and actually looking

630
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: at the data as a state, which had, to your point,

631
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: an enormous positive effect other other states. We're still locked down.

632
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean, this is in a sense a preview of

633
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: what we can talk about a little bit tomorrow. Clay

634
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,960

635
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: of today. Maybe we'll play some of this for folks tomorrow,

636
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: talking about variants, talking about the lack of full vaccination,

637
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff, so we're not we're not out of

638
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: the woods on that. We should also talk about vaccines tomorrow.
