1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show Podcast. Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. Everybody appreciate you 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: being with us. Much to discuss as always we've got 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Trump Tuesday? Tonight? Is it gonna 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: actually happen? Is the man himself, former president at number 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: forty five? Is he going to make a big announcement, 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: very big that we're gonna hear about it tonight? We'll see. 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: I think it's scheduled for tonight or on eight or 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: nine pm Eastern. There's a press conference of sorts at 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: Marrow Lago, so we'll obviously be talking about where that's 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: all going. Republicans, as I speak to you, I believe 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: are one seat from officially one seat from the House 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: majority Lauren Bobert's win in Colorado, but if a come 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: from behind situation there we have had, I think it's 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: important for everyone to hear this. We have had some 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: very narrow contests in a few states that have in 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: fact gone for the Republican even after some delays in 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the vote counts. So we just have to make sure 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: we're clear on all the facts everywhere as we look 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: at what the heck happened here, we got Lee Zelden, 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 1: who I think did as much as any individual for 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: the Republicans to have a House majority here, the imminent 24 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: House majority he's Zelden is reportedly considering a bid for 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: chair of the Republican National Committee after his exceptional, unsuccessful, 26 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: but still exceptional run in the New York gubernatorial race. 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, speaking of leadership, still planning to rush through 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: that vote, and I have a feeling that he will 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: continue to be Senate Minority leader. I know it makes 30 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: me sad, but it is what it is, as they say. Also, 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: there was a pretty funny Elon Musk Twitter exchange where 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: he got called out by one of his developers. You 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: gotta figure, if you're a Twitter employee at this point, 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: given what's going on over there, you might want to 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: keep your head down, particularly when it comes to the 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: over one hundred million followers of the boss. When you 37 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: say you don't know what you're talking about publicly, we'll 38 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: tell you how that little Twitter exchange went here in 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: just a few minutes. Also, the New York Times admitting 40 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: that puberty blockers for adolescence have some really negative consequences. 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: Oh wow, you mean the most obvious assessment imaginable, but 42 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: one that we haven't been allowed to say out loud. 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: Certainly they wouldn't say out loud before the election. Will 44 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: discuss but Clay, you know what I'm gonna say. Man, 45 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: You know where I'm going here, buddy, Because look, the 46 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: House majority is a good thing. It's not all that 47 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: we wanted, but it's it's prevented total disaster in this election. 48 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: It means that things are edging toward a better place. 49 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: But Carry Lake, Clay lost the governor's race in Arizona. 50 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: As of last night. We had it on the show 51 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: a lot compelling to so many people. What happened, my man? 52 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: So there are two things that I would say stunned 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: me about this election. One, as we have discussed, is 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: John Fetterman winning and winning by four and a half 55 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: points in Pennsylvania in a manner that wasn't particularly close. 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: That stunned me. I'm also stunned that Carry Lake lost. 57 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Now the margin is going to be around twenty thousand 58 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: votes at least right now, it is, but to me, 59 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: if you are a Republican voter, you have to take 60 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: a step back and think about this question. Democrats managed 61 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: to elect the worst candidate that either party nominated for 62 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: a statewide election, John Fetterman, and Republican in an open seat, 63 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: and Republicans could not elect Carry Lake, who I think 64 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: was the best candidate who ran the best campaign of 65 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: anyone for an open seat, and just to make it clear, 66 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: for open seat, I mean non incumbent, right, And you've 67 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: heard me talk about how much I love everything that 68 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: Carry Lake did. So if Democrats can elect the worst 69 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: statewide candidate, which I think it's fair to say buck 70 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: John Fetterman was based on his only policies, but also 71 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: his health, and if Republicans could not elect these are 72 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: in purple states and toss up states like Arizona and Pennsylvania, 73 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: the best candidate that either party put forward, something is 74 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: severely wrong with the way that we are running elections. Okay, Now, 75 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people out there are going 76 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: to say, well, the election was stolen, and certainly I 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: understand that argument. If there is any evidence that is 78 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: found that the election was stolen, will be the first 79 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: to talk about it on this program. But what did 80 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: we say for months on this show we had to 81 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: win outside the margin of error. We had to put 82 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: it so unquestionably in the Republican camp, and we didn't 83 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: do it. And there are Republicans listening to us right 84 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: now in Arizona. According to the data, that ended up 85 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: voting for Democrats. And so when you look at the 86 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: results that came out of these elections, Democrats were more 87 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: loyal to their candidates than Republicans were to theirs. And so, Buck, 88 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of big questions to 89 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: answer to discuss. Now. This is not a cataclysm, right 90 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Basically every incumbent won election. There are incredible stories for Republicans. 91 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: What happened in Florida is if I had told you 92 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: four years ago that Ronda Santis was going to win 93 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: reelection by twenty points after he had won by thirty 94 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: thousand votes, none of you would have believed it. If 95 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: I had told you that Leez Eldon was going to 96 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: nearly beat Kathy Hokel, and that the reason why we 97 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: were going to have a House majority was because so 98 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: many Republicans in New York were going to come out 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: and turn much of New York read, none of you 100 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: would have believed me. If I had said that Brian 101 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: Kemp was going to beat Stacey Abrahams by eight points, 102 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: or that Beto was going to lose by double digits 103 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: to Greg Abbott. There are a lot of really good 104 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: stories out there, but ultimately we won a narrow house majority, 105 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: and it looks like we're going to lose either one 106 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: or have a draw depending on what happens in the 107 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: runoff with Herschel Walker and the Reverend Raphael Warnock. Despite 108 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: the fact Buck that Joe Biden is the worst president 109 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: of our lives. So this is a time to assess. 110 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: This is a time to analyze, go back and look 111 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: at the proverbial game film and figure out what you 112 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: need to do to win a landslide election in twenty 113 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: four I think one important story about politics right now 114 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: in recent years that could illuminate the path forward here 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: would be the situation California from twenty eighteen to California 116 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: obviously the ultimate blue stronghold, the most important Democrats state, 117 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: but there are some red areas. I mean, there are 118 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: millions of Republicans who live in California, a whole bunch 119 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: of them. Listen to this show got big audience in 120 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, big audience at San Diego. Be good point 121 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: to bring that Homebuck. More people voted for Donald Trump 122 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: in California in twenty twenty than Texas. Yeah, that stuns 123 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people. So while you won't win statewide 124 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: right now with the numbers as they are, you can 125 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: win individual congressional seats. Twenty eighteen was and people forget this. Democrats, 126 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: it was kind of not such a great night for them, 127 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: and then it actually got better over time. Why because 128 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: there were some places like California where they were already 129 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: expanding a lot of these different voting provisions, and nail 130 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: in voting became a major focus of Democrats. Obviously, twenty 131 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: twenty supercharged this the COVID year, but Democrats were able 132 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: to use tools to their advantage Republicans. It's interesting I 133 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: was reading about this in the Orange County Register and 134 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: had t hit my friend Kurt Schlichter and Mike Ernovich 135 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: for putting this information out there. You see that there 136 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: are Republican groups that took it upon themselves to do 137 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the things that Democrats had done in California. Meaning they're like, 138 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: you know what, if they're gonna do ballot harvesting, if 139 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna do drop boxes if they're gonna remember encouraging 140 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: people to do mail in This is a simple numbers game. 141 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: You tell everybody to show up to your party, and 142 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean like a party, like a birthday party. If 143 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: you say you got to show up on this day, 144 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: I just had an engagement party, Clay. Sometimes you know, 145 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: someone gets COVID, someone gets a sore throat, someone can't 146 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: make it, the kids got you know, extra school stuff. Whatever. 147 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: Do you tell somebody, hey, you can show up. My 148 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: party's thirty days long. You show up any day, and 149 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: that's considered showing up to my party. That obviously is 150 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,359 Speaker 1: going to just help you from a pure yield perspective. 151 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: So in California they did some of this, and guess 152 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: what the effect is. California and New York are going 153 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: to be two states that, even though they're very blue, 154 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: gave us enough tightly contested Republican wins in Congress that 155 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: we're actually not in the nightmare position of losing or 156 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: not having control of the House again not being able 157 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: to take control of the House. So we have to 158 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: look at some of the case studies here about well, 159 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: what would actually work, how would we win? Because that 160 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: to throw up your hands in despair and nothing matters. 161 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: And if we get into election nihilism with oh my gosh, 162 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: they cheat all the time, well we have to find 163 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: ways to beat them even though they're cheating. I know 164 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: we can't retreat into our turtle shell and say, well 165 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: they cheat, we gotta find ways to beat them or 166 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: else what are we even doing getting out there and 167 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: thinking this country isn't finished, which I refuse to ever 168 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: believe this country is finished. We're gonna take it back 169 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: from these communes. I think that's an important point because 170 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: what I am seeing in reaction. First of all, let's 171 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: start here. Millions more people voted for Republicans then voted 172 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: for Democrats so far in the tally, that's a pretty 173 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: substantial swing. So another crazy staff for you, Buck. You're 174 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: talking about California. It looks like Ron de Santis is 175 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: going to win Florida by more than Gavin Newsom wins California. 176 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: I haven't seen very many people talk about this. Gavin 177 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: Newsom's up around seventeen or eighteen right now in California. 178 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis won by nearly twenty in Florida. That's 179 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: pretty seismic and So Donald Trump is going to announce tonight, 180 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: and the twenty twenty four campaign is going to begin 181 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: effectively in earnest some point in the near future January February. 182 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's going to have to decide, Hey, am I 183 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: going to run or not? Both of us now think 184 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: that he's going to run, and then we're basically going 185 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: to be off and running. And some of the data 186 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: points that we need to consider, and I'll talk about 187 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: this a little bit when we come back, are what 188 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: did we support that turned off persuadable voters and how 189 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: do we get those persuadable voters to break in our direction? 190 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: Because one of the big surprises in addition to me 191 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: that Republicans were not as loyal to their candidates as 192 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: Democrats were. In other words, Republicans were more likely to 193 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: split tickets. Independence broke for Democrats. How in the world 194 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: did Independence look around at the worst president of our 195 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: live and make the decision, Hey, we need to support 196 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: more of this. It's stunning to me. And so I 197 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: think as we sort of sift through the returns and 198 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: contemplate what took place across the nation, we're going to 199 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: have the house. We're going to have a significant check 200 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: on Joe Biden that effectively keeps him from getting very much. 201 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to think we could still win in Georgia 202 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: and basically put Joe Mansion in control of the United 203 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: States Senate, as fickle and unreliable as he may be. 204 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: Did you see Buck. Just in the last couple of hours, 205 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: it's been announced one of the Republicans in West Virginia 206 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: has announced that he's taken on Joe Mansion. So the 207 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Senate campaign has already begun in earnest 208 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: and Joe Mansion's gonna have to make a decision because 209 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: he's not winning. I mean, you talk about why what 210 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: happens with herschel matters in a big way. There should 211 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: be two easy pickups. I believe four Republicans in twenty 212 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: twenty four. We should pick up Montana and we should 213 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: pick up West Virginia. Now, there's many other states where 214 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: we could run competitively in depending on how things go, 215 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: but we should pick up two seats just by virtue 216 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: of Montana's deep read and West Virginia is deeparad. There's 217 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: no reason that Democrats should be elected to represent those places. 218 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: And so I think we're going to pick up two 219 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: just by virtue of the map, and as we said, 220 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to have to defend a lot more. 221 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: So this is a big deal as we start to 222 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: think about it. But I want to share some data 223 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: with you and we come back that is jumping out 224 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: at me.

That is pretty incredible. Okay, 263 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: so we don't officially have the word yet of the 264 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteenth House seat, but there are four 265 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: seats right now that Republicans are leading in, any one 266 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: of which would be to eighteen. I suspect that at 267 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: some point today we will officially know that Republicans have 268 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: taken control of the House. This is important because it 269 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: gives the Republicans in the House the gabbles to be 270 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: able to conduct the hearings, to control the direction, to control. Frankly, 271 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: some of the counterna arrative coming out of the Biden 272 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: White House and Jim Jordan's office. I can confirm this 273 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: report is true. Jim Jordan's office, they had a meeting. 274 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: Congressman was on with us. Was it Monday Friday? I 275 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: think it was. We had Jim Jordans on last week, 276 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Rand Paul Senator Grassley, Senator Ron Johnson, Roger Marshall and Comer, 277 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: all of them senators in the meeting with Jim Jordan, 278 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: and it was primarily focused on holding doctor Fauci accountable 279 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: for his lies and potential COVID investigations. Now, Rand Paul, 280 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure we need to get him on again soon. Unfortunately, 281 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to control the Senate, so Rand Paul 282 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: will not control or be able to determine what is 283 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: or is not what is is or not the committee's 284 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: hearings that they're going to be having. So in general, 285 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: as you break all of this down, a lot of 286 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: this now is going to be in the control of 287 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: the House buck and this is one major impact. This 288 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: is an important part of what House control can represent. 289 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan is going to be able, I hope, at 290 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: some point to make doctor Fauci cry, because he needs 291 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 1: to be held accountable for all the wise that he 292 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: has shared. And we're going to have real hearings on 293 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: COVID where COVID came from, all the cover up, all 294 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: of the mandates, everything else. And they're already working in coordination. 295 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: It sounds like the Senate and the House to ensure 296 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: that those hearings take place, they'll have to take place 297 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: now in the House hearings are a good thing when 298 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: the Republicans are able to direct the subject matter. In general, 299 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's necessary for us to have 300 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: a full accounting of what happened during COVID. I would 301 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: just admit now, though doesn't seem like people really care 302 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: enough to vote on it. That's unfortunately, unfortunately, right I 303 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: had hoped that our little trial run of authoritarianism. I 304 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: had a hope that are you know, thirty days or actually, 305 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, eighteen months of free communism wasn't something during 306 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: the COVID era that would go without political punishment. Unfortunately, 307 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: it was largely as large as the case. I think 308 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: that they were able. They were lucky in that we 309 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: had gotten far enough away from that that people just 310 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: wanted to move on. And there is this there's this 311 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: mentality a lot of people have it about a whole 312 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: range of issues. When you've dealt with something that was 313 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: really difficult, maybe even traumatic, your brain does want to 314 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: move on. And we're seeing some of the implications of that. 315 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: We've seen it in the last week or so with 316 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: this election. People don't want to hear about the then 317 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: they want to hear about them now. So while I 318 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: liked that, there will be I mean, no one will 319 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: be more approving of Fauci sitting there and saying I 320 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: didn't say that thing. I said another thing and another time. 321 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: And why you being so mean to me, Rand Paul, 322 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: I've never said anything so mean to you. While I 323 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: think that'll be entertaining and worthwhile, it's not going to 324 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: change the trajectory of political control in this country. And 325 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: I would remind everybody Clay I said this at the 326 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: time when Obama won reelection in twenty twelve, and it 327 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: hurt me to say it, but I got a lot 328 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: of heat. I said. Accountability for Benghazi just went out 329 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: the window, just so everybody knows there will. And there 330 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: were a lot of hearings and a lot of people 331 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: built careers on pounding the table over Benghazi. Nothing happened 332 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: to anybody who was involved in that debacle, politically or otherwise. 333 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: The only that happened, as we know is four brave 334 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Americans lost their lives and that whole night played out 335 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: as it did. But in terms of accountability, there was none. 336 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: Accountability for COVID. I'm very skeptical at this point there 337 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: will be any that doesn't. The China origins issue, I 338 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: think we should find out just because we should know, hey, 339 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: did this really come from a lab? One hundred percent 340 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: because we need to think long and hard about what 341 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: kind of research we're doing in these labs. Right, But 342 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: even with China, does anyone think that we're gonna what 343 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: exactly are we and not a popular sentiment, I'm sure, 344 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: what exactly are we going to do about China's responsibility 345 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: for the COVID virus? We asked that question. Honestly, we've 346 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: done nothing to them, and my hope at this point, Buck, 347 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: I think you're right. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be 348 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: a COVID reckoning over all of the lies they're they're already. 349 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: I saw Bill Gates coming out and saying, well, we 350 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: didn't really know that this only impacted the elderly, and 351 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: it was you know, the i fr the fatality rate 352 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: was somewhat similar to to flu. Yeah we did. Yeah, 353 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: we've known that for all the time. Whole time, all 354 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: that data was out there. Buck and I were talking 355 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: about it back in like May and June of twenty twenty, 356 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: and it was as if no one was allowed to 357 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: actually discuss that data at this point. Honestly, Buck, what 358 00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm just hoping for is a historical record that eventually 359 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: can be written about in the hopes, in the hopes 360 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: that we will learn from the failure of COVID over time, 361 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: as the people who were responsible for that failure step 362 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: off of the national stage. Maybe it'll be fifty years 363 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: from now, we're going to have another pandemic. Right there 364 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: is going to be this is going to occur at 365 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: some point. Again, hopefully it's long after everybody who was 366 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: listening to this show right now has passed. But I 367 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: would just hope that our failures on this can be 368 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: used in some way as a historical precedent in the 369 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: future for what not to do. So if we look 370 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: back at the IFR, the individual fatality rate for the 371 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: Spanish influenza, which wasn't even really a flu and which didn't, 372 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: as we know, start in Spain, it's just a Spanish press. 373 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: Because of wartime regulations in the First World War, we're 374 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: able to write about it. We believe it was started 375 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: actually in a US military base. I think that's there's 376 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: not a definitive, but that's where they think the first 377 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: case of it happened. I think the far was five 378 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: percent something like that. Five percent of people who got 379 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: that died. Now, if there's different kinds of smallpox that 380 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: have been the different versions of that virus out there, 381 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: but in general you're looking at about a thirty percent, 382 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: which is why smallpox was the most devastating disease to 383 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: humanity for many, many centuries of recorded history. But Clay, 384 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: if we ever got to a point where we had 385 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: an I FAR of two percent, three percent something like that, 386 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I think unfortunately we saw as one our public health 387 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: authorities are total morons, have absolutely worthless, and two a 388 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: lot of people would sit there and cheer while they 389 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: took people off to quarantine camps. I mean that's so 390 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: to my point, I'm not saying we shouldn't do these hearings. 391 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: I think it's essential because I'm more terrified about how 392 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: psycho the left is in this country now because of 393 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: COVID than I've ever been before about anything else. They 394 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: would run the playbook again. And if we had a 395 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: virus that wasn't really just a threat to the elderly 396 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: and the immunocompromised, God help us man, they would get 397 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: ugly in this country I don't think there's any doubt, Buck, 398 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: And this is why I think having some form of reckoning, 399 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: even if it's just a reckoning in the historical record, 400 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: maybe it leads down the line we end up with 401 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: some prosecutions, maybe some people who are brought that charged 402 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: with charged with crimes. I don't know exactly how it's 403 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: all gonna play out, but here's what I do know. 404 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: They would totally sweep this under the rug if we 405 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: didn't have control of the House. So I just want 406 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: a positive story out there for everyone to be cognizant 407 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: of that the Senate and the Ron Johnson's and the 408 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: Ram Paul's and the Roger Marshall's of the world who 409 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: had been standing up on many of these different COVID issues, 410 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: they are now working with Jim Jordan on the House 411 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: side to help. I would presume whatever hearing he's going 412 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: to be able to set up now that we're going 413 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: to have the majority in the House. And I do 414 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: think Buck, while we're upset that we didn't win the Senate, 415 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to take and a lot of 416 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: punishment Hunter Biden is the questions are going to be 417 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: asked that are so important, and it's going to be 418 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: harder for the media to ignore them when the House 419 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: has control of these hearings and is able to set 420 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: the agenda than it would be if Nancy Pelosi still 421 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: had to gabble. You know, one thing we haven't talked 422 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: about a little while. It pops up here and there. 423 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: I saw Drudge had some headlines on it yesterday. Of 424 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: course I missed the old Drudge. The new Drudge doesn't 425 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: get it done. But whether or not, Trump maybe facing 426 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: some lawfare effort from the Democrats. I mean, he's supposed 427 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: to announce, we started the show mentioning, supposed to announce, 428 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: we believe tonight. It's a very big announcement. I mean, 429 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how at this point they could decide 430 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: that he's not announcing without it looking quite strange. So 431 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm assuming. But you know, with Trent Trump is you know, 432 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: he marches to the beat of his own drum. I mean, 433 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: who knows. But I think he's gonna announce tonight, which 434 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: would mean now that they're talking about possible indictment for 435 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: the classified documents. Remember remember, can I just point this 436 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: out for a second because it's funny to go back, 437 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: Remember when there was that Breatha's headline in like August, 438 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: it was like Trump had the nuclear secrets. Yes, all 439 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: the nuclear secrets were under his bed, under his pillow. 440 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: Why is he such a monster? It's an imminent and 441 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: now you heard nothing about it for like a few 442 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: days because it was obviously you know. Okay, so the 443 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: guy kept like a letter from Kim John Owner or 444 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: something where he said, I mean, the whole thing is 445 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: it was so crazy, and we it was so dishonest. 446 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: But as we see, they don't care how dishonest it is. 447 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: And that's why I think even though, as I say this, 448 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: people like Buck, they're not going to indict Trump over 449 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: some documents about these little they just they just elected fetterman. 450 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: For God's sakes, Look what's going on in this country. 451 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: I actually think if they indict Trump, it's probably the 452 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: best thing that could happen for Trump's campaign. I really do. 453 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: I think many people would rally around Trump. And I 454 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: will just point this out. Okay, so Clay is leaving 455 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: us there with quite a tease because I think we 456 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: might have lost connectivity to them for a second. And 457 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: I would just say I believe that the Libs are 458 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: basically sitting around. The Democrats are sitting around and assessing 459 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: exactly that point about whether or not some form of 460 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: lawfare against Donald Trump, meaning using the law as a 461 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: political weapon, would it be to their advantage. If they 462 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: think it is to their advantage, they'll absolutely do it. 463 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: There's no scruples, there's no principle. They think they are 464 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: literally saving democracy, saving democracy, so if they have to 465 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: burn it down in order to save it, they're fine 466 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: with it. If the DOJ has to be the gasoline 467 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: canister next to our democracy and Merrick Garland has to 468 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: have the match, they're fine with that. So we'll see. 469 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: I put nothing past them, and I'm certainly you know 470 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: these days. Man. To my credit, I always say nobody 471 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: can predict the future, and I'm right about that. Nobody 472 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: can predict the future. So we're assessing, we're analyzing, and 473 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: Claire will be back with us here in just a moment. 474 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: But you know one thing that doctor Fauci wants for 475 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: all of you out there, especially for the men in 476 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: the audience, It would be to your benefit if you 477 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: have super low testosterone, So then you will listen, you 478 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: will triple mask, you will get shots.

You don't want that. You 481 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: want to have energy, endurance, focus and drive that'll get 482 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: you through every day.

Code Buck. Third hour of 507 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sex and Show gets going 508 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: right now. One thing that is a constant, as you 509 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: all know that the Democrat corporate media lies to you 510 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: all the time, constantly pushing an agenda. Journalism as a 511 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: profession is something that people don't view the same way 512 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: they used to. And that's a good thing because it 513 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: really is worrying propaganda machines out there. They're pushing agendas. 514 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: They aren't bringing you just facts. You all know that. 515 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: And I actually saw today that the most regretted above 516 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: even gender studies and sociology and communications. There was some 517 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: up pull that was circulating some ada out there this 518 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: morning that the most regretted major was journalism, because you 519 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: know what journalism is, reading and writing and communicating. You're 520 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: not getting a leg up on everybody else by studying 521 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: journalism in school. In fact, I even know people who 522 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: have taught at top j schools, journalism schools, and they 523 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: will tell people quietly, it's a waste of time and money. 524 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: Don't do it. But the journals, Clay, are relentless. They 525 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: are true believers in their First of all, they're this 526 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: really noxious combination of incredibly arrogant and condescending but also 527 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: deeply insecure and aware of the fact that they're all 528 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: very replaceable. So it's it's a difficult personality type to handle, 529 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: to manage. But we have yet another instance of the 530 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: fake news, great term that President Trump gave us, the 531 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: fake news, showing us what they're really all about. NBC 532 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: News reporter Miguel al McGuire, I think that's right, was 533 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: suspended over his now retracted Paul Pelosi story. So he reported, 534 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: if we all remember, remember the Paul Pelosi story that 535 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: got so much attention, God was attacked. It was a 536 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: vicious attack. But people were asking some questions, as I said, Clay, 537 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: just on a security basis, how does this guy just 538 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: walk into the home of I mean, I would assume 539 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: the Capitol police had cameras. They were there, they were 540 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel, not not ask any questions. Though 541 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: it was a right wing Trump supporter. They said that 542 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: it's I mean, which this guy's just clearly completely out 543 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: of his mind. But so Miguel Almaguerre reported that Nancy 544 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: Pelosi's husband Paul, didn't let on that he was in 545 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: danger when the police were at his home right away, 546 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: and so there were some questions about this, and Clay, 547 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: this is early stage reporting. I mean, think about all 548 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: the reporting on something far more serious and horrific than this, 549 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: like this shooting at Yuvaldear. So much reporting that was 550 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: completely wrong. Now in this case, al McGuire, it's not 551 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: believed he didn't fabricate it. This is just what was 552 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: reported to him by law enforcement sources, I would assume 553 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: at the time. And they are suspending it. I mean, 554 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: he is getting and this is now public, he's getting 555 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: an official punishment for this, and we I'll sit here 556 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: and go Okay, So you upset the Libs, you upset 557 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: the Democrat narrative in some way, Clay, or make things 558 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: even more difficult for a news cycle for them, and 559 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: there are professional consequences. But you lie about Russia collusion 560 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: for four years, you get a pulitzer. That's where we are, okay, 561 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: And I would just point out they could easily have 562 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: eliminated all of this uncertainty by releasing some of the 563 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: bodycam footage. The police officers have bodycams on them if 564 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: they wanted to get the full story out there, They 565 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: have the charges that they have brought against this guy, 566 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: and at some point they could have just released the 567 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: bodycam footage. How often do you see bodycam footage out 568 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: there from police in tumultuous, controversial cases all the time. 569 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: And your point on Uvalda is a great one. Everything 570 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: that we were told initially on the Uvalda school shooting 571 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: ended up being a lie. Everything just about and so 572 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: every reporter got it wrong because they were lied to. 573 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: It's really really amazing. I mean, this was a Today 574 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Show report that they pulled off of the NBC website 575 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: that they took completely down, and now they are castigating 576 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,479 Speaker 1: and chastising this reporter because he said something. We still 577 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: don't know one hundred percent what the story is here 578 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: because we haven't seen the full footage or the full 579 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 1: details come out. They just he said something that upset 580 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party and as a result, NBC News the same. 581 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: We can't have this. Have you heard? It's just a 582 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: good question for everybody out there. Have you heard of 583 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: any journalist at NBCCBS, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times, 584 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: MSNBCCNN have any journalist been suspended for any Russia collusion 585 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: report at all? You mentioned this, but I mean just one. 586 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it publicly that anybody has been suspended 587 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: themselves awards for fake legitimate fake news. And I just 588 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: think this is instructive. I mean, it's all about the nave, 589 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: the fact service of the narrative. We all know it. 590 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: It's very obvious. We have to keep hammering it, though, 591 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: because you should not ever lull yourself into thinking or 592 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: allow yourself to think. Well, maybe the journals are going 593 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: back towards the center, and you know they've realized the 594 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: air of their ways. Are you kidding me? I mean, 595 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: President Trump is likely announcing his run for the presidency tonight, right, 596 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: a TB president for four more years. I've been saying this, 597 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: as you know, Clay and every listening for quite some time, 598 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: the media is just waiting for this, and then all 599 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the anti Trump machinery kicks right back into place. CNN's 600 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: talking about the insurrection twenty four to seven. I mean, 601 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: this is what many of them think they need really 602 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: for for ratings. So it's not like they've actually decided 603 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: that what they did in the past was partisan, dishonest 604 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: and wrong. But I will say, on the upside of things, 605 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: you do have this Elon Musk takeover of Twitter still 606 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: playing out. There's a couple of bugs, you know, there's 607 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: a couple of little issues here and there, just as 608 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: the site goes, because Clay and I are both very 609 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: active on it, and this may mean that we will 610 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: have a site that has true free speech and real 611 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: free speech implications going into the next election cycle that 612 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: we really didn't in this last one. And everyone I know, 613 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen the same thing. Clay, all of 614 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: a sudden, all these conservatives, you know, your engagements up 615 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: fifty percent, your follower accounts going up more than it has. 616 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: Everything that we said about how they were throttling, and 617 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: it's all true. They were doing all kinds of shenanigans 618 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. A Twitter the psycho woke libs were 619 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: playing every game they could to help their side and 620 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: make it all seem like it was on the up 621 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: and up. It's a free exchange of idea site, but 622 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: this is pretty amazing. Elon tweeted out this was actually 623 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: on November thirteenth. I'd like to apologize for Twitter being 624 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: super slow in many countries. App is doing over a 625 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: thousand poorly batch rpcs just to render a home timeline. Now. 626 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: To be fair, I have no idea what that means. Yeah, 627 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: I mean like I'm not pretending to all about any 628 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: of this stuff. I mean I sometimes Kerry has to 629 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: help me, like switch from the smart TV to the 630 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: old TV. You know, I'm not great at this stuff. 631 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: People like you were in the CIA. I'm like, yeah, 632 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: we had smart people who did that stuff in the 633 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: CIA too. This guy, though, Eric Fraunoffer, responds to Elon Musk, 634 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: who is his boss, apparently a Twitter I have spent 635 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: six years working on Twitter for Android and can say 636 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: this is wrong, gets one hundred and two thousand likes. 637 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: And then some guy who goes by the Moniker money 638 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: nerd techie, well, I think probably does know about this stuff. 639 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: I have been a developer for twenty years, and I 640 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: can tell you, as the domain expert here, you should 641 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: inform your boss privately. Trying to one up him in 642 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,479 Speaker 1: public while he's trying to learn and be helpful makes 643 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: you look like a spiteful, self serving dev for developer, 644 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: mister Eric Fronifer writes, maybe he should ask questions privately, 645 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: maybe using slacker email, and then Elon just tweets in 646 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: he's fired, and he is. It turns out messing with 647 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world who is also your 648 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: boss and the new CEO of your company is a 649 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: bad idea. Wokesters, I love this. Let me also just 650 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: I said this on Fox News earlier today because we 651 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: were talking about this story a little bit. You cannot 652 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: believe that Elon Musk is going to have success at Twitter. 653 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of blue che x and 654 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: running around like, Oh, Elon Musk doesn't understand Twitter. He 655 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: has no hope. This guy is better at spending at 656 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: sending rocket ships to space than NASA is, and he 657 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: totally remade the way that we power cars. Both of 658 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: those things. If you told me right now, Buck, like 659 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, Hey, I think I can send rockets 660 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: to space better than NASA, cheaper, more efficiently, and I 661 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: can return them. Most people would say that's a that's 662 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: a really tall order. And if you also said, simultaneously 663 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: and while I'm doing that, I'm going to redesign cars 664 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: so that we don't have to rely on gas, and 665 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to electric power them and all these other things, 666 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people would say that's really difficult to 667 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: do figuring out a social media app and configuring it 668 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: and analyzing it. And compared to that, compared to sending 669 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: space rocket ships to space better than NASA and designing 670 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: ours without the combustion engine, this is not very complicated. 671 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure whether the business of Twitter is 672 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: going to be a success, because I think there's certainly 673 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: bet you can place on that. But the idea that 674 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is not going to be able to understand 675 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: the mechanics of Twitter, which this little software engineer, developer, 676 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: whoever he was, was sniping at Elon Musk. This is 677 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: one of the most brilliant people on the planet, and 678 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: he's already succeeded in literal rocket ship making and also 679 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: now in the car business by redesigning the combustion engine 680 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: I think he's probably gonna be able to handle Twitter. 681 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: I'm just placing my bet down on this guy can 682 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: figure it out. I'm just also, you know, I don't 683 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: do the hero worship thing, but I do live in reality, 684 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: and I think when someone is the richest man on 685 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: the planet because they've done the things that you've laid 686 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: out there, like maybe show a little respect, you know 687 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: what I mean, Maybe I'll be like, oh, mister idiot, 688 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: Elon doesn't know anything about the back end machinations of 689 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: the I can't. I don't even know what you call 690 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: this thing the software. Once you start getting into computer science, 691 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it is a totally might as well be 692 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: speaking Mandarin. I have no idea what's going on. I'm 693 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: like you in terms of tech. I mean, I run 694 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,919 Speaker 1: a media company, and we've got a lot of tech 695 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: obviously involved in that media company. I mean, when I 696 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: want to watch Thursday night football on Amazon, I have 697 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: to call in my wife or my kids to figure 698 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: out how to get on Amazon streaming as opposed to 699 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 1: a traditional cable. Like I hate trying to find sporting 700 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: events now on my television because they're streamed so many 701 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: different ways. But you know, I still think. I'm gonna 702 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: tell you this now, I think I'm gonna be able 703 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: to beat my kids one day in video games. I 704 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: feel like old school Nintendo got us very primed for this. 705 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: I see everything native sorely mistaken. I think like FIFA 706 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: twenty thirty five is going to come out on PlayStation 707 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: nineteen or whatever, and I'm gonna I'm gonna be schooling 708 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: my kids. I think that, you know, the gap is 709 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: not as big as people. I will say. They have 710 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: gotten me to play Fortnite against them. They've gotten me 711 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: to try to do the Minecraft building And I grew 712 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: up on the h I grew up on video games. Now, 713 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: you may have played video games longer than me, right, 714 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: because when I started having kids, like, they got years 715 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: of advantage on me. Like they used something called the 716 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: pinball machine. That was the that was the state of 717 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,959 Speaker 1: the art, you know, when Clay was coming up the rigs. 718 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm really I could beat them in tech Mobowl. You 719 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: know you want to play tech Mobowl, you want to 720 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: play RBI Baseball, you want to play uh, you want 721 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: to play the old school Ninintendo eight bit games. I'll 722 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: wreck these kids. But but when it comes to the 723 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: modern Day Madden. Uh they let Dad have it pretty bad. Yeah, 724 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 1: well there you have. So I'm just I'm just saying 725 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: that your prediction may may actually be if somebody, if somebody, 726 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: if somebody gun to your head says greatest for you 727 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: at the time, greatest video game that you ever played? 728 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: What would it be? Techmo super Bowl? Greatest video game 729 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: ever created? Um? First one with eleven players? Like, it's 730 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: the best game ever? What about jid Meyer's Original Civilization 731 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: for me? Even though that a computer game, Yes, very 732 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 1: nerdive A best ever was a computer game. It was amazing. Yeah. 733 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: I used to play as Montezuma and then just end 734 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: up knuking everybody. It was phenomenal. Blades of Steel, Baseball Stars, 735 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: RBI Baseball, um, the original Techmobowl. All of those would 736 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: be in my contra back in the day. Remember I 737 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 1: loved the Contributo game. I also on N sixty four. 738 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: I remember the Golden Eye video game multiplayer? Oh, everybody played. 739 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: That was revolutionary in its time. And Mario Card. There 740 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: were some people who would imbibe illegal substances and play 741 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: the Mario Card. You say, Mario, isn't it Mario? You say, 742 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: Mario Super Mario. Just you might have just caught me 743 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: be doing the weird I might have just pulled the 744 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: clay there with my pronunciation. Just isn't it super Mario brothers? 745 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: You would say super Mario brothers? Is that the way 746 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: I think it's? I think you're right. I think it's Mario, 747 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: like it's Mario and Luigi. Right, is it Mario or 748 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: Mario Lopez? For EXAMPLEO Lopez? Yeah, so it's it's Mario. 749 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: I think I don't know.

Welcome back, 776 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: Ed Klay, Travis Buck Sexton, show Buck. You mentioned this 777 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: in the open. I want to make sure I remember 778 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: to hit it so there. Yesterday was a front page 779 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: story in the New York Times about the dangers of 780 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: transgender surgeries for miners and also puberty blockers, and it's 781 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: a fascinating story that they finally acknowledged is a real issue. 782 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: And it's a, you know, several thousand words story. But 783 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: what I thought was in triguing was and we made 784 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: these analogies before. And I wonder whether there's somebody like 785 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: who's kind of a mole inside of The New York 786 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: Times that thought to do this in the print edition. Yes, 787 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm an old man. I read the print newspaper. When 788 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: you finished that article about the transgender the surgeries, and 789 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: also the puberty blockers. There was an article about a 790 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 1: ten year old who got a tattoo. And in that 791 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: article about a ten year old who got a tattoo, 792 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: they quoted several experts as saying, how in the world 793 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: could any parent let their ten year old get a tattoo? 794 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: Kids who are that young don't have the ability to 795 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: make life altering decisions. I'm paraphrasing. Yet there were many 796 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: experts in the article about the puberty blockers saying, well, 797 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: if a twelve year old decides they don't want to 798 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: go into puberty, we should definitely do it. And the 799 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: overriding story year buck was that when you get puberty blockers, 800 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 1: your bones don't develop like they normally would, and many 801 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: of these kids are facing osteoporosis issues where their bones 802 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 1: are brittle because puberty is when many kids, I didn't 803 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: know this, but your bones strengthened to a large degree 804 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: to support you being able to handle an adult body. 805 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: And many of these kids getting puberty blockers are having 806 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 1: issues with their bone strength in addition to all the 807 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: issues that might arise obviously from changing your gender while 808 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: you're still under eighteen years old. So there's something you 809 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 1: know called body integrity identity disorder, which is when somebody 810 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: wants to amputate a healthy limb. This is a real 811 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: psychological condition. I believe it is still in the DSM. 812 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: I think it is still something that the medical community, 813 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: psychiatric medical community will will talk about. There was a 814 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: story place as for discussing this yesterday in on Vice, 815 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: which is a very left wing so called news organizations 816 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 1: like a left wing blog.

Another news item, 850 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: perhaps just more of a follow up to our discussion 851 00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: yesterday on the situation in Ukraine, A senior US intelligence official, 852 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: according to the the Associated Press, has confirmed that Russian missiles 853 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: crossed into Poland, a NATO member, and killed two people. 854 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: As in there was there were Russian missiles fired into Poland. 855 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: I think people would assume that this was, you know, 856 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 1: they were off target. Essentially, this was accidental and a 857 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: collateral damage issue assume. I'm not sure that's the case, 858 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 1: but when you have two Polish nationals killed on their 859 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: own territory and it's a NATO country, I would just 860 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: note as Russia is losing, Russia will get more desperate 861 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: and trying to come up with a way to off 862 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: ramp all of this violence as soon as possible and 863 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: end this conflict. I think should be certainly the goal 864 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: for the US. I can't speak for Ukraine and the 865 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: sentiments over there, but Clay I raised this issue before, 866 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: or this this concept before we went into the break there, 867 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: and I wanted to address it with everybody now because 868 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 1: while there was much discussion before the midterm election about 869 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: issues like transcender indoctrination in schools, which they still want 870 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: to do, and Drag Queen, not just Drag Queen Story Hour, 871 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: but these kind of drag Queen strip shows in front 872 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: of small children, you know, the dancing up on the 873 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: polls or whatever. All this stuff that goes on. It's weird, 874 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 1: it's inappropriate. We all know this, well, not everybody, but 875 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: everyone listening to this knows that. And this was new. 876 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: I had never heard of this before, and now I 877 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: want to point out this is reported on in Vice, 878 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: which is it's essentially like the place for very far 879 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: left wing hipsters with you know, this is like a 880 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: very far left wing website. I'll put it you that way. 881 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,839 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of nose rings and blue 882 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: hair and you know, Black Lives Matter and announcing pronouns 883 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: and get your six vacshots. That's kind of the vice vibe. 884 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: So it's they're reporting on this. Trans people are seeking 885 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: non binary bottom surgeries. Is the story here across the 886 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: gender spectrum. I'm quoting everybody. Some patients are looking for 887 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 1: mixed sets of genitals or none at all, and actually 888 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: receiving this affirming care isn't easy. Okay, a couple of 889 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: things here, Clay, before I let you let you get 890 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: into this situation. First of all, you can tell by 891 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 1: the subhead here, the subheadline that the problem here is, 892 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we're not letting people easily get mixed 893 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 1: genital sets or no genital sets. I want to be clear. 894 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: In this article they go into there are now transgender 895 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: self identified individuals who want surgery to have both a 896 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,280 Speaker 1: penis and a vaginas simultaneously because that is their gender 897 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: identity journey. Me or I'm not even sure which is. 898 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: I mean this. I think this is probably the more 899 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: strange one to have all genitalia removed entirely and have 900 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: only you know, a urinary tract effectively in that area. 901 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: This is a thing that is happening, and some doctors 902 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: are being told by their patients that this is the 903 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: surgery that they want. Would I would wonder within the 904 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:33,239 Speaker 1: trans left wing activist community, on what basis this is 905 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: their truth? On what basis will they tell them they 906 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: can't do this? Yeah, this is all crazy. And my 907 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: general belief is if you're over eighteen years old and 908 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: you want to make crazy choices for yourself, you can 909 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 1: do it. I think it's unlikely to lead to you 910 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 1: being happier. I think many of these people are psychologically 911 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: broken and they feel like they need to take gray 912 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 1: the action in order to make themselves happy. And I 913 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: suspect very often after all these surgeries, they think, oh, 914 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 1: if I just did this, I would be happy if 915 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: I just felt and then they aren't right. But this 916 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: is next level crazy. This is just at some point 917 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 1: there is a difference between I mean the analogy on Halloween, 918 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: which is if your kid dresses up like a cowboys 919 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: and Indians, then it's totally unacceptable. But if an adult 920 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: decides that they want to change their gender and they 921 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 1: demand that you use the pronouns of their choice, it's permissible. 922 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: The line I think Matt Walsh added in his in 923 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: his what is a Woman? Piece, which I thought was 924 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 1: really good, is you don't get to pick your adjectives, right, 925 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: so take away the pronoun thing like I'm going to 926 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: share my pronouns with you or whatever else. But I 927 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 1: don't get to say, you can only refer to me 928 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,240 Speaker 1: as handsome, you can only refer to me as brilliant, 929 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: you can only refer to me as a genius. Like you. 930 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,799 Speaker 1: Everybody out there can make their own determinations about how 931 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 1: you see me or you or anyone else. This idea 932 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:12,399 Speaker 1: that you can demand your pronouns is crazy. And I 933 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: don't know where the trans agenda goes, but it feels 934 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: like many people increasingly are saying, Hey, you wanted to 935 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: change your gender or whatever, but you've you've gone off 936 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 1: the crazy training. So what would be fascinating to me? 937 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 1: And remember, we can call this and I do think 938 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 1: this is mental illness. I'm not a doctor, but I 939 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: would I would make the argument as a layperson that 940 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 1: that's what's going on here, that Clay what we it 941 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: keeps getting crazier and they don't stop. I think we 942 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 1: need to be very cognizant of that, meaning that the 943 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 1: more you know it was oh, just use my pronouns, 944 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: and now it's oh, I get to compete against the 945 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: opposite gender and use their locker rooms, or else you're 946 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: a bigot. And by the administration, by the way, may 947 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: go back to giving Title nine protection the transgender athletes, 948 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 1: which means the whole thing and is just a free 949 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 1: for all for anybody who wants to compete against other gender. 950 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: You have people demanding that they are put in a 951 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: woman's prison, even if they're a man with a penis. 952 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 1: They just say, I'm a woman, so put me in 953 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: the woman's prison. It keeps getting crazier. This is the 954 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: nature of this movement, of this situation. It never stops. 955 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,959 Speaker 1: And this is oh and I would say the most 956 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,120 Speaker 1: recent manifestation we have seen is the we gotta get 957 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: the kids to do this. We gotta get twelve year 958 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: olds to take the Cubert. You know. That's the that's 959 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: and now a level beyond that is individuals who are saying, 960 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 1: I want to have no genitalia. I have a right 961 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 1: to have a medical profession. Remember this is a serious 962 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: surgery with all kinds of calm. I mean, you're not 963 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, this is this is not growing your hair 964 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 1: out and putting on lipstick. I mean, this is something 965 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: you got to be put on general anesthesia, you got 966 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 1: to have a surgeon, all this stuff. They want doctors 967 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 1: to remove all genitals. So sort of like you know 968 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: kenn and Barbie Doll situation here, that is what they 969 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,439 Speaker 1: are demanding. And what's fascinating that they're gonna put back 970 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 1: from within the trans community, according to this article, for 971 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 1: making it seem too crazy. That's what's so interesting. So 972 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 1: finally wokeness has now turned on wokeness and they're trying 973 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,959 Speaker 1: to figure out can we make this next step happen. 974 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. They're gonna keep pushing this. 975 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 1: You know what they tried for a little There are 976 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: a couple of articles. One thing they tried for a 977 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 1: little while is you are a bigot if you're a 978 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: man who is not attracted to a trans female because 979 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 1: trans women or women, you're a biggot. They actually, like 980 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: Huffington Post, had some articles about this that didn't work. 981 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try this one next, which is 982 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: that hey, if you want to have both sets, so 983 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: to speak, it's fine. It's fine. And by the way, 984 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden will have some influencer to the White House 985 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,719 Speaker 1: and they'll say, oh, God, bless you. You know you 986 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 1: got the two sets. He's fine with this. The White 987 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 1: House goes along with all of this. I just don't 988 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: know where we go from here. I almost, by the way, 989 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,319 Speaker 1: Clay almost flabbergasted with this one, which I've almost never seen. 990 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: I can barely speak. I just when you told me 991 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: about this, Like basically, the way to think of it 992 00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: is like if you've ever seen a Barbie doll or 993 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 1: a Kin doll, people are just wiping their entire genitals out. 994 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like this is clearly psychological, like 995 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: they are like clearly like mentally ill. Right. Body identity 996 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: integrity disorder is something that the that people that are 997 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: critical of the trans agenda and activism have been bringing 998 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: up for years because people realize that you're asking a 999 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: surgeon too, I don't like my left arm, Remove my 1000 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 1: left arm. That is essentially, you know, boiled down what 1001 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: we're talking about here. This is that now basically remove 1002 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: everything down there. This is body integrity identity disorder, which 1003 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: the transactivist community was always saying, well, we would that 1004 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: that's totally different. This is about living your truth. It's 1005 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: actually not that different. It's just crazy, and I don't 1006 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: know how we get back to not being crazy. Honestly, 1007 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time thinking about that. We'll close out. 1008 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is making his announcement tonight at nine. What 1009 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 1: do we hope that he says in this presidential announcement 1010 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: at Mara Lago tonight at nine Buck and I'll discuss certainly. 1011 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 1: We'll be talking about it tomorrow as well.

If you have kids, 1013 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: and I do, I have found it to be very 1014 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: difficult at times to get them to read. And also 1015 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: what they read can matter a great deal. You want 1016 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: to entertain and also inform them, but understand what they 1017 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 1: are learning.
