1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody, so the Clay Travis 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show on this Monday. It's great of 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: you to join from all over the country and for 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: our digital listeners perhaps all over the world. We've got 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot going on over the weekend. We'll dive in 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: here momentarily to the protests, which I gotta say are 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: quite clearly intended to intimidate Supreme Court justices outside of 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: their own homes. Mobs have gathered, and we'll discuss what's 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: going on with that. The White House doing a little 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: bit of a walk back on it's fine. People are 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: just passionate to realize that that's way beyond what you 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: can claim if you're going to say you're all for 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: civil discourse. Really, because they're threatening Supreme Court justices and 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: this White House was essentially complicit in that by refusing 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: to condemn it. We'll discuss what this is likely to 17 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: turn into. Plus, the baby formula shortage across America right now, 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: it's a big deal and people are really parents, moms 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: are really getting desperate because they can't find baby formula anywhere. 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: The price is up dramatically, and this comes against a 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: backdrop of the Biden administration, supply chain issues, inflation at 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: a forty year high, the stock market getting crushed again today, 23 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: all the gains essentially wiped out from Biden's presidency to now. 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: So if you've had your money sitting there, if you've 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: got a four oh one K, you got an IRA, 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: you're looking to retire soon. It's rough out there. And 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: it turns out that the Fauciites and the people who 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: pushed for lockdowns, the massive spending which did nothing positive. 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: I have to remember that not only was it extremely negative, 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: pushed all kinds of people into despair, into suicide, destroyed businesses, 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: People got fired from their jobs for not getting the shot. 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: We had to stand six apart outside and the freezing 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: cold in New York City to go in and get groceries. 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the idiotic stuff we were all put through. 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: None of it was worthwhile, none of it was good. 36 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: And Fauci is out there getting an honorary doctrine. Bill 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Gates is walking around saying, yeah, you know, I guess 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: we kind of didn't understand that it really wasn't that dangerous. 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: As a virus to younger people, which is a huge lie. 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Steam actually comes out of Clay's ears when he sees 41 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: that clip, by the way, like he actually do it, 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: really does it. We start to lose our minds over here. 43 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: But let's just start with this because Clay, there's a 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: legal component of this that I wanted to get to. 45 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: First off, here's what it sounds like. If you were 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: to say, over the weekend, walk past, if you're a 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: neighbor of Justice Brett Cavita on Virginia, here's what you 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: we're hearing. It's interesting on so many levels. One is, 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, they're not trying to make it. They're 50 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: not going to convince Justice Cavanaugh of the constitutionality of 51 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: abortion by shrieking like morons on his front lawn. It's 52 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: meant to be a threat. That's one part of it. 53 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: And the other part of this is it's actually not 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: legal to do this under Virginia law. There is a 55 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: statutory you cannot gather and protest at someone's home and 56 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: essentially disrupt the peace. But the police aren't doing anything. Yeah, 57 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: this is one where I think, regardless of your politics, Democrat, Republican, independent, indifferent, 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: the idea that you should be able to show up 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: outside of someone's house in a neighborhood and scream at them. 60 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: And you talked about this last week, Buck, the fact 61 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: that you lived in Washington, DC, where people were doing 62 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: this outside of your apartment building, not at you, but 63 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: at other people. I just fundamentally reject this, and I 64 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: think the overwhelming majority of the American public does too, 65 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: regardless of their politics, which is why we got this 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: sort of awkward tweet that I thought Jensaki had already 67 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: retired by the way as Press secretary because she has 68 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: introduced her air apparent but the White House this morning 69 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: early on Monday, I'll read this, this came from Jensaki. 70 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: Podas strongly believes in the constitutional right to protest, but 71 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: that should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Just perform 72 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: an incredibly important function in our society. They must be 73 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety. 74 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: So to me, this feels they're not directly saying don't protest, 75 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: but it feels like a fig leaf, because Buck, what 76 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm concerned about is what we started talking about, being 77 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: concerned about the moment this Justice Alito opinion leaked, which 78 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: is violence ensuing, and one of the Supreme Court justices 79 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: that is right now in a five to four majority, 80 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: being targeted for violence. And if you watch those videos 81 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: and you saw those protests over the weekend in the Washington, 82 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: DC area outside of Supreme Court Justice Holmes, you could 83 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: easily see buck how that could turn violent, how somebody 84 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: could bring a molotov cocktail like they did. They got 85 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: thrown I believe it was in Was it in Wisconsin 86 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: where that thing got thrown over the weekend? Buck into 87 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: a into a anti abortion clinic? Yes, it was in 88 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Wisconsin because they weren't doing it good. This was a no. 89 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: I believe this was a Yes. It was an anti 90 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: abortion group in Wisconsin. And it said if abortions aren't safe, 91 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you aren't either, was what they wrote on the walls. 92 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: That is a threat in leadrect threat in moral terms, 93 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: that is for you. And I think they're aware that 94 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: this is a really bad look for them. And look, 95 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: the politics of this potential Supreme Court case are more 96 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: complicated than most people want to acknowledge. But standing outside 97 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: of elected officials homes and screaming at them not to 98 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: mention while carrying the signs that they were the groups 99 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: were acting in that way. That doesn't reflect well on Democrats. 100 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: And I think again, this is a little bit of 101 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: a fig leaf, because they remember over last week they 102 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: refused to condemn the idea when all these Supreme Court 103 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: justices were having their home addresses circulated and it was 104 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: being announced that they were going to be protest at 105 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: their homes. And by the way, this goes across the board, 106 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: if if conservatives suddenly didn't like a decision that the 107 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Court put out. I think that protesting in residential 108 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: areas in front of justice's homes is just flat out wrong, period, 109 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: And that is a content neutral position that I believe 110 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of the American public agrees with. I'm 111 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: sure you saw as well. A lot of people listening 112 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: certainly saw that there were these and to call them 113 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: protests is actually to dignify them more than they deserve, 114 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: because there was true lunacy on display at Catholic churches, 115 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: including here in New York on Mother's Day, where you 116 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: had activists. Yeah, you probably saw some of the video. 117 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: I mean, there was one activists who was saying, I 118 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: want to kill the baby, screaming I want to kill 119 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: the babies of the Catholic Church. And I just want 120 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to say to the left wing pro abortion base, keep 121 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: it up, keep keep showing up in churches and Catholic churches, 122 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: destroying the piece of that service, showing disrespect to the parishioners, 123 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: because a lot of people are watching, including Latino voters who, 124 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: as we've all been talking about those recent polls, fifty 125 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: two percent in the most recent polling that's out there 126 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: at the national level, fifty two percent support for the 127 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: GOP among Latinos, thirty nine percent for Democrats. And that's NPR, 128 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: by the way, Buck, that's not some you know, right 129 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: wing organization that is doing that poll. That's the NPR 130 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: poll showed Hispanics plus thirteen. To put that in context, 131 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: white voters were plus nine Republicans. So if that is accurate, 132 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Hispanics have become more Republican in the past several years, 133 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: then white voters have one of the you know, I'm 134 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: of two minds of this, Clay, because as we get 135 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: closer and closer to the actual mid terms. On the 136 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: one hand, there's a part of me that is encouraged 137 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: by the fact that the Democrats have not made a 138 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: single adjustment. Really, that shows me they're serious about trying 139 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: to limit the damage of these mid terms to them. 140 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: They have not made a pivot where I go, oh, 141 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: they're they're going to try to convince everybody they're not 142 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: as crazy. But then there's also this part of me, 143 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: as things are getting crazy out there on this Row 144 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: issue with these activists and the threats and the going 145 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: after Supreme Court justices and the leak of the Supreme 146 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: Court draft decision, that they'll cheat and they'll intimidate and 147 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: they'll actually fight dirty. Right, So, on the one hand, 148 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: I see they're not making the intelligent political moves you'd 149 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: need to win fair and square. On the other hand, 150 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: I realize, oh, so is this going to be some 151 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: kind of a COVID play going into the falling? You know, 152 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: there's they're gonna try something because policy wise, they're hitting 153 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the gas pedal as they're getting closer to the cliff on. Yeah, 154 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: that's it. That's a good description. On Friday, they they 155 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: came out and said, hey, we may have a hundred 156 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: million new COVID cases in the fall and winter. Now 157 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: they're trying to make that argument if they don't get 158 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: still more dollars for COVID. But I read that and 159 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: I thought they are laying the groundwork again, buck for 160 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: unlimited mail in voting, for unlimited absentee ballots, for abilities 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: to get ballots into the election tally that otherwise would 162 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: not have been allowed or considered to be appropriate, just 163 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: like they did in twenty twenty. Now we can talk 164 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: about what the tally is and whether it's legitimate, and 165 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: whether eighty one million people voted for Joe Biden or not. Right, 166 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: But the reality was the biggest part of the rigged 167 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: election was big tech to me, and the change in 168 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: the voting rights so that you could get all these 169 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: mail drops, so that everything was changed, and they did 170 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: that predicated on COVID. A lot of people thought there's 171 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: no way they can make the argument for that again 172 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: in November of twenty twenty two. We're then two and 173 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: a half years into COVID, and yet when they're coming 174 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: out and saying they may have a hundred million new 175 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: cases in the fall in winter, it's hard for me 176 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: to not think that is laying the groundwork for this 177 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: to happen all over again. This is the only thing 178 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: that makes sense what you're discussing where you're describing here, 179 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: where there's some strategy, there's going to be a dishonest 180 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: strategy to try to at least limit the annihilation that 181 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: seems to be coming for the Democrats. Because let's just 182 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: take a moment, a moment, a step back, right now, 183 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: look at this Biden administration. You got record high inflation, 184 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: all right, and there's nothing usually, you know, Clay, as 185 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: you and I know from doing this, there's usually well, 186 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: what would the Democrats say on the other side, right, 187 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: They'll have their fusillade, so forward, their fusillade of talking 188 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: points to support their side. We could sit here and 189 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: talk about eight point five percent inflation, highest in forty years, 190 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: worst war in Europe since World War Two, and the 191 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: real prospect of a nuclear exchange if it keeps going 192 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: in certain directions, Baby formula shortages, stock market absolutely tanking, 193 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: people's four O one case getting crushed, low labor market participation, 194 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: any wage increases getting wiped out by inflation. I know, 195 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: well what am I king going? I mean, the murder 196 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: rates skyrocketing, police under siege, the border at its worst 197 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: level maybe in the history of our southern border ever, 198 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: existing with Mexico, going almost all the way back to 199 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: when we actually had a war with Mexico in eighteen 200 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: thirty six. Honestly, when you talk about the issues on 201 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: either side of the border right now, it's almost impossible 202 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: to point to anything, which is why Buck they've already 203 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: tried to move beyond the Supreme Court over ruling Roe v. 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: Way to say gay marriage is at stake, contraception is 205 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: at stake, your ability to have kids who are gay 206 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: go to classrooms. They're trying to follow that down the 207 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: slippery slope because really, I think all they're gonna have 208 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: is arguing cultural issues, But I don't know that that 209 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: motivates people to get out and vote. When we're talking 210 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: about an economy in the tank like it is right now, 211 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: they're desperate to mobilize their base in any way they can. 212 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: I don't even I think they're almost writing off independence. 213 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: I think this is just going to turn into for 214 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: Democrats a base turnout operation with mail in balloting under 215 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: some bs COVID excuse, and they're just going to try 216 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: to hold on into the blue areas as much as 217 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: they possibly can and realize that in what could happen 218 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: to turn that we're in May. I mean, it's you know, 219 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be junior in a matter of a couple 220 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: of weeks. So you're in the summer period, right before 221 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: the midterms. It's gonna get back. Joe Biden's gonna give 222 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: some great speeches. I mean, they're lucky of people are 223 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: going to tune out in the summer. And honestly, Buck, 224 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: there's even an argument that the leak of this opinion, 225 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: in the event it comes out, is actually going to 226 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: spread out the reaction, so you don't get that massive 227 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: immediate you know, because imagine if the Supreme Court comes 228 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: out at ten am on some random Wednesday and overturns 229 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade, and there was no real indication that 230 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: it might legitimately happen beforehand. It's it's a five alarm 231 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: fire going off. Now, even that anger is likely to 232 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: I think recede and moderate in the six weeks. Now, 233 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: that's presuming that we don't get which I hope we don't, 234 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: a true act of violence directed towards the Court, which 235 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: is my fear, particularly with these protests going on and 236 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: everything else. But if we get the normal release, which 237 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: would have happened when in late June, right as we 238 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: get ready for July fourth. If we get the normal 239 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: release of this opinion, then I think even that is 240 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: going to fade into the summer, and then by the 241 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: fall everything has fallen apart with the economy. It's gonna 242 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: be hard to argue anything matters. Like James Carville said 243 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety two, it's the economy stupid. This 244 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: is an economic election in twenty twenty. I'm just worried. 245 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: I think everything, all of that analysis, I think is 246 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: spot on. I just think that they're my anxiety. My 247 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: concern over them fighting over the commies, fighting dirty, is 248 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: getting higher and higher, because that's gonna be the I 249 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: just think they're only a play. That's the only play. 250 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't I don't see another play for them at 251 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: this point. We'll come back into this. Plus Faucci got 252 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: an honorary doctorate, I got. I got some honorary words 253 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: for Fauci.

Appreciate 272 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us as we're rolling 273 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: through the Monday edition of the program. Joined now by 274 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Carrie Savarino. She's Judicial Crisis Networks president and a former 275 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas. So, Carrie, you have been 276 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: a Supreme Court clerk, and I went to law school, 277 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: but I was nowhere near smart enough to be a 278 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Court clerk. So you will know and understand to 279 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: an unbelievable degree. What was your reaction when you saw 280 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: news that this Alito draft opinion had leaked? How stunning 281 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: was it contextual wise it for us for those of 282 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: us who will not have experienced what being a clerk 283 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: and working at the Supreme Court is like, Yeah, that 284 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: was utterly jaw dropping to see not just even a 285 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: leak about Hey, we think this is what the votes are, 286 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: this is the direction of going. But like an entire 287 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: draft opinion as circulated, the Justice is so much though that, 288 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: like other clerks I know said, they just they literally said, 289 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: this have to be a fake. There's no way it 290 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: could be real, because that would never happen. So until 291 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the Chief Justice confirmed it, they were like, nope, can't 292 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: I I just don't believe it. When we were when 293 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: I was clerking, it was like you could not have 294 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: ever left the building with a piece of paper like that, 295 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: And the only thing you could I could take out, 296 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: like if I wanted to do work at home in 297 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: the evening with the filings and the things that had 298 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: been already publicly filed for the court, so I could 299 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: do my background reading. But that's it. Any intern documents 300 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: never left the building in you know, paper form, in 301 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: digital form, nada. So the idea and you know, well 302 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: Congress is always leaking and the White House is always leaking. 303 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court, it just doesn't happen. Thinking about it, 304 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: like Bush versus Gore, most controversial case. Yeah, certainly that decade, 305 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: probably in many decades, very tense. I heard clerks were 306 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: like literally getting into fights, like physical fights over how 307 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: upset they were about this case. And we didn't have 308 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: a draft opinion for that, did We didn't. I don't 309 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: even think we had a like here's what the vote's 310 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: going to be leak. So this is completely novel for 311 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court to have something like this, and I 312 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a long time, if ever, 313 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: that the Court and their internal processes can recover from 314 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: something like this, let alone the threats to the justices 315 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: that have been triggered by this type of league, Carrie. 316 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 1: So immediately when the league happens, a lot of us 317 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: out there start trying to analyze who the leaker might be. 318 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: And it's informed speculation to a certain degree, but nowhere 319 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: near like what I imagine the Supreme Court clerk text 320 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: chains were like, how would you assess where this leak 321 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: was likely to come from. What did you and your 322 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: former Supreme Court clerk colleagues think in terms of analyzing 323 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: this when you saw the story so well, Our immediate 324 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: assumption is this has got to be a leak from 325 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: one of the liberal clerks. I think a lot of 326 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: people assume that maybe someone like a clerk injustice, so 327 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: to my Oris Chamber, because she seems to particularly you know, 328 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: on fire about this issue and just perceived as being 329 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: a little more political than some of the others, but 330 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: obviously not based on any real information. Just like, wow, 331 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: this seems what the kind of thing they might do. 332 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: And I think you saw people on the right and 333 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: the left presuming that this was a liberal clerk leaking 334 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: it in order to try to impact the court, in 335 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: order to try to trigger exactly the types of protests 336 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: that we're seeing right now in the hopes of impact 337 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: the justices. And I think that's maybe a nice way 338 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: putting it. I would say, more threatening and intimidating the 339 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: justices if it's coming from that side, because there's the 340 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: difference between an opinion being leaked before it comes out 341 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: and afterwards it's not This is not just people saying 342 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm really upset about this. It's trying to say they're 343 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: upset about it in a way that will influence the 344 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: justice is to change their opinion, whether that's based on 345 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: just purely seeing outrage or based on the implicit threat 346 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: that that come of, like protesting and set in front 347 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: of someone's private residence. Hey Carrie, it's buck. You know, 348 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: the statutes pretty clear on this. This is not legal 349 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: what they are doing, and I'm wondering what the explanation 350 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: is for why this is allowed to continue. My understanding, 351 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: it's not illegal. It's not legal under Virginia state law, 352 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: and also on the federal side judicial tampering. I mean, 353 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: think about it this way. If if there was a 354 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: drug dealer, let's say, who was facing life in prison, 355 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, a drug kingpin, and he had ten of 356 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: his guys standing outside of the judge's home waving signs 357 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: saying you know, you better watch out. Every would say, well, 358 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: that's judicial intimidation. Why isn't this judicial intimidation? Well? I 359 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: really think it is. I mean, what can the kind 360 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: of stuff that's going on here is it is not 361 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: just limited to hey, we want to you know, express 362 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: that we're annoying your opinion. It's we want you to 363 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: change your vote, and that is effect attempting to affect 364 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: the direction of the court. And that again is assuming, Um, 365 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: you know, I think the best of motive because it 366 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: worst case scenario. I mean, we've we've heard that Justice 367 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Alito had not is not returning to his home and 368 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: is relocated to a different secure location. I mean, this 369 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: is really disturbing. And what's even more disturbing is seeing 370 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: the response from the White House and their refusal to 371 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: condemn the idea of justices uh protesting at the private 372 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: residences of these justices, some of whom have young children, right, So, 373 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a really outrageous thing. Um. 374 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: You know, over the weekend there were so much outraged 375 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: that I think they tried to walk it back a 376 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: little bit. They still they said, well, of course, we 377 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: want them to just be peaceful and and no not 378 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: no threat or anything. It took them four days to 379 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: even say that much before they were just like, oh, 380 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: these is they're very passionate, like let's let's let the protest. 381 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: I think there's absolutely a place for protesting, for making 382 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: your voice heard, but that place is in the public sphere, 383 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: in front of the Supreme Court, in front of you know, 384 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: things like that, not in front of someone's private home. 385 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: We're talking to Kerry Savarino, Judicial Crisis Network President, former 386 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas. Okay, Kerry, So if you 387 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: had a magic wand and you could waive it right now, 388 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: we don't know what Chief Justice Roberts is going to do. 389 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: Right now. It's a five to four it appears majority. 390 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: Should they expedite the release of this opinion? Given the 391 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: danger that may be out there for the conservative clerk, 392 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: the conservative justice is also probably the conservative clerks, and 393 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: the overall atmosphere surrounding the Supreme Court is that the 394 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: wrong decision. Should Chief Justice Roberts join on to keep 395 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: this from being a five to four decision? You have 396 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: a magic wand what's the best way to restore some 397 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: form of credibility and normalcy to the court in the 398 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: wake of this leak? Wow, If I've got a magic wand, 399 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: let's make it nine zero while we're at right. But 400 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think so the tip Justice is said, 401 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything differently because of the leak, 402 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: But I think that's that's a miss, you know, I 403 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: think that's a misconception of what's going on here. I 404 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: think you shouldn't change your vote because of a league. 405 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: I am absolutely in favor of that, but I think 406 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: under the circumstances, you know, the Court, the Court can 407 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: expedite opinions when they recognize there's a serious reason to 408 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: do so. They did that with the Texas Heartbeat bill 409 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: that got opinion, came out in like fifty days, which 410 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: is lightning fast for a significant Supreme Court decision to 411 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: come out. They clearly put some you know, put the 412 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: heat on and and and got that out. They could 413 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: do that here, especially because we know there's already a 414 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: complete draft. Now we don't know, there could have easily 415 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: we're talking about months in between February when this was 416 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: passed around to the justices and maybe when it was leaked, 417 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: so there they already could have made a lot of 418 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: you know edits in between, there could have been justice 419 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, let's you what they can ask for 420 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: anything from like I'd rather phrase this differently or move 421 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: this comma to hey let's add this argument or take 422 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: out this one. So we don't really know what the 423 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: current version the justices are working at with but I 424 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: would say, guys, get your act together, get that signed. 425 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: As long as once all five justices sign on, they 426 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: could theoretically release it even if the Descent wasn't ready. 427 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: They could say, okay, you know what, the discenting opinions 428 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: is going to come out when they're when the number 429 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: of justices or in the descent are all agreed on it, 430 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: or they could they could lean on those justices, especially 431 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: since their colleagues are actually being put I think, in 432 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: physical danger as a result of this. I would hope 433 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: that all the justices would say, you know what, let's 434 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: let's put this to the top of our pile, get 435 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 1: this done right now, and get it out and then um, 436 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, some of that pressures off. There's still going 437 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: to be people outraged about the opinion. Frankly, whatever ends 438 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: up happening with it, it's not going to be one 439 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: of those opinions that just yeah, carried. How concerned are 440 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: you that we could actually see a flip and that 441 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: it would go five four in the other direction and 442 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: actively the league and pressure campaign and threats would have 443 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: been successful. Well, you know what, I hope, and I 444 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: really do think that the nature of how how outrageous 445 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: this was for the justices would um would fortify this 446 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: mind of any who are who are considering. You know 447 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: that maybe maybe this kind of outrage would be something 448 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: that I would not want to see. Maybe they maybe 449 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: they didn't want to see. And I think none of 450 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: the justices wanted to see want to see this type 451 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: of activity. But um, I would hope this would never 452 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: be something that would make them switch their votes. Now 453 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: we know they have life tenure under the Constitution specifically 454 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: to allow them to have that independence to not have 455 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: to be looking at the outside effects. Although obviously you 456 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: know when you have actual threats and things that that 457 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: changes that whether you got life tenure or not, right, 458 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: But um, but I would hope that they would they 459 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: would be able to stay firm. Again, I would love 460 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: it if the Chief Justice said, you know what I'm 461 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: going to I'm going to join this opinion just to 462 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: make the points that I'm I'm gonna not gonna be 463 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: bullied by by these things. And I think recognizing too 464 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: that he's not trying trying to uphold row is simply 465 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: not legally plausible. If you're off holding the missip lot 466 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: as well, it's just completely at odds with that decision. 467 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: You have kind of have to take one or the other, 468 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: and he's trying to have it both ways. Sounds like 469 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Roberts unfortunately. But Kerry Savarino, everybody, Judicial Crisis 470 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: Network President, former Clerk to Justice Thomas Kerrie.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 501 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: Encourage you to go subscribe to the podcast. Make sure 502 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: you don't miss a single minute of this show, which 503 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: is fighting for sanity in an insane world every single day. 504 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: We appreciate those of you hanging out with us all 505 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: over the country and also everybody listening on the podcast 506 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: right now at your leisure and Buck, we were rights 507 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: on probably the most consequential decision of the twenty first century, 508 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: which was, how do we respond to COVID in this country. 509 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: Give me a massive number of people that are out 510 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: there listening to us, And unfortunately, as we have continued 511 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: to discuss the fallout of the wrongheaded decisions by the 512 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: lockdown crowd, by people who wanted to shut down schools, 513 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: by the people who insisted that you wear masks everywhere, 514 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: all of that fallout, and unfortunately it's continuing as young 515 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: kids in New York City are forced to continue to 516 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: wear masks. Two year olds are still massed up in 517 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: New York City. But I saw this study and it 518 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: gives me some measure of hope that as we continue 519 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: to move through this, there's going to be a reckoning. 520 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: And the reckoning needs to happen in November at the 521 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: ballot box. But also the reckoning needs to happen in 522 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: terms of people having to acknowledge that they're chosen heroes. 523 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: The doctor Fauci's of the world failed them. And I 524 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: am encouraged in some level. Buck by this because some 525 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: of the places that are putting out these studies. This 526 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: is not right wing news dot com, right, this is 527 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: not a necessarily outlet that you would anticipate would be 528 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: coming out with this study, and the one that I'm 529 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: referencing today just came out got a lot of attention 530 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: so far. This morning. Harvard did a study and into 531 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 1: education and the impact of Locke downs and remote learning, 532 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: that oxymoron of remote learning, and they found that gaps 533 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: in quote, math achievement by race and school poverty, which 534 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: skyrocketed all over the country, predominantly in blue states, didn't 535 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: widen in school districts like Florida and Texas that mostly 536 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: kept schools open, two biggest red states in the country, 537 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas. And I'm reading directly from their study. Interestingly, 538 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: gaps in math achievement did not widen in school districts 539 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: in Texas and Florida where schools remained in person, gaps 540 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: did not widen. This is racial and socioeconomic gaps. Where 541 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: schools shifted to remote learning, gaps widened sharply. Shifting to 542 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: remote instruction was like turning a switch on a critical 543 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: piece of our social infrastructured we'd taken for granted. Our 544 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: findings imply public tools truly are the balance wheel of 545 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: social machinery, and that that was broken by our COVID responses. So, Buck, 546 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: one of the things that needs to happen is a reckoning, 547 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: and I believe that reckoning hopefully will start in November. 548 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: But also, these people who argued you don't want to 549 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: be on the wrong side of history, Buck, they are 550 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: going to be on the wrong side of history in 551 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: their response to COVID. It's just a question of how 552 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: long it will take for this to become consensus opinion. 553 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: But for the Rhn decantis Is of the world and 554 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: the Greg Abbots, both of whom are up for reelection. 555 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: If you're listening to us in Florida and Texas, as 556 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: many of you are, you need to be sharing this 557 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: data with your suburban mother friends, with your friends who 558 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: are willing to be persuadable. And we need absolute landslides 559 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: in this state to ratify the decisions that were made 560 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: in these states. You know, I also found this data 561 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: that was shared on the stats website Nate Silver's five 562 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: thirty eight about trust in science. Did you saw this 563 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: graphic fascinating. Just so I can explain to everybody who's listening, 564 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: I wish I could show you this graphic, but starting 565 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: in about this is the share of Americans who said 566 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: they had a great deal of confidence in the scientific 567 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: community by party affiliation from nineteen seventy three to twenty 568 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: twenty one. The graphic is fascinating because Democrats and Republicans 569 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: are basically both in the forty percent range, up and 570 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: down a little bit here and there in nineteen eighties, 571 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, you know, not a lot of change. It's 572 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: sort of Democrats and Republicans roughly call it a little 573 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's usually less than half. I'd say, you know, 574 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: forty five percent of Republicans had faith in science until 575 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: about two thousand and then it dropped down a little 576 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: bit forty percent of Democrats, and it actually dropped down 577 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: quite a bit lower a few times. But anyway, overall 578 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: it's in the forties. You get to the pandemic, and 579 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: people who say they have trust in science skyrockets like 580 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: hockey stick graph straight up a stock going from one 581 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: dollar to a thousand dollars. That's what it looks like. 582 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Democrats go way up to sixty 583 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: five percent and Republicans start dropping off down into the 584 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: thirties at the start of the pandemic. And you can 585 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: see it by the way the Democrat line is almost 586 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: a straight lineup, meaning that there was What this is 587 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: showing you, and this is why I think it's so fascinating, 588 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: is that it was a political designation. This was not 589 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: about what could because it starts at the beginning of pandemic. 590 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Democrats decided where the Science party, 591 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: and this became a personal branding issue for them. And 592 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: what I think is so fascinating is that if you 593 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: go back and look at Marxism, which has a lot 594 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: of similarities with the left the Democrat Party, if you 595 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: go back and look at Marxism, it is a religion 596 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: that pretends to be a science, and the language that 597 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: it uses and the pre tense of the Marxists all 598 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: along was to try to create the notion that this 599 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: is actually just scientific reality that they're putting through a 600 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: social theory, when in fact it's it's really a religious 601 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: belief that they're pretending is somehow rooted in reality, fact 602 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: and the inevitability of truth. And you see this with 603 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats. It's the same thing. Science for them became 604 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: a political rallying cry, and the way that they all 605 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden identified with I believe in the science, 606 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: and I'd be fascinating to see, I bet Clay, they 607 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: haven't hasn't dropped off because they don't want to believe 608 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: that they were part of this mob mentality of Fouchi's 609 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: a genius when he's really a moron. Well, you and 610 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: I have talked about before, Buck. The thing that really 611 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: gets these left wing people really triggered is the idea 612 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: that they're dumb right, like they can handle almost any 613 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: other criticism, but the idea that they are a sheep, 614 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: the idea that they are the idea that they have 615 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: behaved in an anti science manner. And I thought there 616 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: was a perfect metaphor. I was watching Saturday night the 617 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors playing against Memphis Grizzlies. NBA playoffs are 618 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: going on. My kids are big job morant fans, so 619 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: we're sitting around watching this game. One guy in a 620 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: twenty thousand seat arena in San Francisco, just about Buck 621 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: is wearing his mask. You know who that was? King 622 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: NBA Lib Steve Kerr, he would wear his mask. He's 623 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, twenty thousand 624 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: seat arena. Virtually no one you could see wearing a mask. 625 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is the head coach, is wearing his mask, 626 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: and what's he doing constantly pulling the mask down to 627 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: yell out instructions to his team and then pull the 628 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: mask back up. There is no way to justify wearing 629 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: the mask. And I thought to myself, this is Steve 630 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: Kerr making it clear to all of the left wing 631 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: loo natics out there that he is their champion. He 632 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: is their ride or die. Because I'm sitting there watching 633 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: this and I'm gonna watch it again on Monday night 634 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: and I'll probably tweet about it because I didn't tweet 635 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: about it on Saturday night. But I'm watching this because 636 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: I want to take a picture of it. There's no 637 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 1: one that you can see around him buck wearing the mask, 638 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 1: and he's regularly constantly pulling it down because you can't 639 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: hear what anybody says when they're wearing a mask, right, 640 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: especially in a crowded arena where everybody's yelling. And I'm 641 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, he thinks, and he is sending the 642 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: message of I am doing what the science dictates, even 643 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: though he looks like an absolute and complete moron by 644 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: doing this. This is like people who this is the 645 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,240 Speaker 1: same the same scientific mentality, you could say, as somebody 646 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: who thinks that they're protecting themselves effectively from a very 647 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: contagious venereal disease by taking the prophylactic device on and 648 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: off many times over the course of their session. You know, 649 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: take it on and take it off, take it on, 650 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 1: take off. Yeah, I'm protected. Kind of No, you're not. Actually, 651 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: you're wasting your time with this, which is the same 652 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: thing that you had had with planes and the mask 653 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: up between bites. And I mean, I am still almost 654 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: in all the stupidity of the Delta Airlines flight attendant 655 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: I have I had just a few weeks ago, maybe 656 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: a month ago, who was saying that people were taking 657 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: wasn't just me? So people say, oh, it's because she 658 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: knows you. No, no, no, anybody who was taking too 659 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: long between bites. She thought she was keeping us safe 660 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: by saying, sir, you've that's enough, Like that's enough time 661 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: between bites. You need to mask up in between bites. 662 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: These are people who are mentally ill. They actually have 663 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: This is like people who will not go at This 664 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: is like agoraphobia. They will not go outside. They almost 665 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: have a fear of breathing fresh air and not having 666 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: the mask on their face. In fact, I think we 667 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: should come up with some term of phobia without masking, 668 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: because that's what this really is. I'll have to look 669 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: at what the what the Greek would be on this, 670 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: the ancient Greek. Well, and to your point, did you 671 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: see and we need to talk about this too, because 672 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: it's just so ridiculous. But I'll give a little bit 673 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: of a tease here for later in the show. Did 674 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: you see the idiot md online who said as soon 675 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,479 Speaker 1: as masks are removed on airplanes? I want to read 676 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 1: her tweet here. As we get ready to finish the cancelations, everywhere, 677 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna get canceled. Every everything on the planet basically 678 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: is going to get canceled. Uh, you're you're not gonna 679 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: be able to fly anywhere, all of this ridiculousness and uh, 680 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: and it completely fell apart. There was out there. I'm sorry, 681 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: ahead I thought you want to should we tease it? 682 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: Should we play the tease game, and I'll read this 683 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: tweet when we come back. Let's play when we come back. 684 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: What I just want to say, it's nice, right, you 685 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: and me and this audience can sleep well at night 686 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: knowing that we were not the jackasses for two years 687 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: who thought that all this stuff was a good idea. 688 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say there should be some real solace 689 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: taken in. We were right, they were wrong, and that 690 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: does have its own its own it has its own reward. 691 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 1: But I want the scoreboard to reflect it. And that's 692 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: why November needs to be so. I want CNN and 693 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: MSNB siying literal tears rolling down their cheeks. I want 694 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: Welter curled up in a ball in the corner asking 695 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: Mommy to make it stop as those election returns come in. 696 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: And I want and I know you're in New York City, 697 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 1: but I want all those people living in New York 698 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: in LA who have no idea how the rest of 699 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: the country is living, to be trying to explain what 700 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: the national electorate is saying. When I feel like living 701 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: here in Nashville and traveling around for college football games, 702 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: which to me is the heartbeat of America, I feel 703 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: like I have my finger on the pulse of America 704 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: really really well. And this destruction that is coming in November, 705 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: I think it is going to blow the minds of 706 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: the East and West coast lives and they're not going 707 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: to be able to really understand what the message. It's 708 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: the only way to restore balance. It's the only way 709 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: to restore sanity. Actually, if if it doesn't happen, we're 710 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: in trouble as a country, no doubt. By the way, 711 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: inflation is coming out the newest number this week for 712 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: the month of April, but we already know it was 713 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: an eight and a half percent, and we can feel 714 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: the effects on that rising cost of living and that 715 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: can be a big challenge to your household budget. But 716 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: what can be a positive is your home values probably 717 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: increased a decent amount, and American Financing can help you 718 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: unlock some of the value in your home.

Welcome back to the Clay Travis 739 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. As promised, our friend Ali Beth 740 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: Stucky is with us now. She is host of the 741 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: podcast Relatable, author of You're Not Enough, and a writer 742 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 1: at World Magazine. Ali, thanks for joining us, Yeah, thanks 743 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: for having me. Can we start because there's obviously so 744 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: much bide administration, imploding inflation, abortion, decision looming. We've got 745 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: a lot we can talk to you about, but I 746 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: just want to know what are you hearing. You're plugged 747 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: into this community. You know what it's like for the 748 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: young moms out there, the baby formula shortage. I'm seeing 749 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: people really really freaked out about this because what are 750 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: they supposed to do? Yeah, this is terrifying in so 751 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: many ways, and I think a lot of people don't 752 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: even consider. I am friends with people who are foster 753 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: parents who have recently adopted. I have friends who have 754 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: kids who have special allergies and special needs that require 755 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: them to have a certain kind of formula. This is 756 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: an insanely impactful and pervasive problem. I mean, this is 757 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: your worst nightmare if you're a mom who is trying 758 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: to feed your child, to get your child and nutrients 759 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: that it needs, like bare minimum. First priority as a 760 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: mother is to take care of your child in this way, 761 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: and you are literally helpless, especially if you are someone 762 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: who maybe doesn't have the means that others do. If 763 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: you have lots of dollars laying around, you might be 764 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: able to stockpile the formula if you can find it, 765 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: or you can order some expensive brand overseas, but for 766 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: working class women, for the average woman, especially for a 767 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: woman who is impoverished, it is almost getting impossible for 768 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: them to feed their children. That is a very scary prospect. Ali, 769 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: what are thanks for coming on the show? By the way, 770 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: what are moms being told and dads who have to 771 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: go out to buy this formula? What are they being 772 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: told about? How long this shortage is going to last, 773 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: how much worse it might get. I mean, this is 774 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: alarming on an incredibly high level for anybody out there 775 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: that has raised kids and has had to buy formula, 776 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,919 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, because this is one of those things 777 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: that it's hard to replicate with something else. What are 778 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: moms being told? Yeah, that's part of the anxiety, right, 779 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: is that they just kind of being told as vague 780 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: answer supply chain issues, which we can talk about all 781 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: the different possibilities and all of the different reasons causing that. 782 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: Some of it also is a recall that happened to 783 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: add It Labs. Unfortunately, there is contamination of the formula 784 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: that led to the sickness of lots of babies and 785 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: the death of two babies, and so that's scary. So 786 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: there's just less formula in circulation and they're not being 787 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: told any answers is to really why. And then also 788 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: when it's going to end, there are suppliers or stores 789 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: like Target, like CBS, like Walgreen saying that for the 790 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: foreseeable future they are just going to have to ration 791 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: the formula. So I don't have any answers. A Biden 792 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: administration doesn't seem to have any answers. These suppliers don't 793 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: seem to have any answers. I true, I wish I 794 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: could say there's light at the end of the tunnel, 795 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: but I just don't have that kind of a positive 796 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: vision right now. Ali also want to ask you your 797 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on the situation of the Supreme Court justice who 798 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: have lunatics shrieking at them from their front lawns of 799 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: their private, you know, their homes, and an unwillingness it 800 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 1: seems from most of the Democrat media. The White House 801 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: just changed their position from hey, people are upset, too 802 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: bad too Okay, maybe don't threaten Supreme Court justices, but 803 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 1: this feels like a very combustible situation, and I think 804 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 1: the unhinged and to some demonic components of the left 805 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: are coming out for everyone to see. And it's not 806 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: just the Supreme Court justices and the Young Children of 807 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: Justice League cabin On a Barratt that are being you know, 808 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: intimidated and threatened right now. We're also talking about people 809 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: with far less security and far fewer places to go, 810 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: like your pregnancy resource centers. Unfortunately, we've seen on Twitter 811 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: pictures of these resource centers being vandalized. I mean, these 812 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: are clinics. These are centers that are helping women no 813 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: matter what they ultimately decide to do with their to see. 814 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: They're offering pre pregnancy classes, free babies, supplied, maternity closed, 815 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 1: all kinds of things. And as you said, these demonic 816 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 1: pro abortion activists, for whatever reason, feel that they need 817 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: to vandalize and in some cases burn down these clinics 818 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: because they are so rabid and intent on seeing more 819 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 1: babies murdered. And it really is sad. But I hope 820 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 1: people see more than they ever have that this is 821 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: a really a light versus darkness dichotomy more than it 822 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: is a political battle. Ali, I'm curious what you're hearing 823 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 1: from moms because I talked about this on the show 824 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday. I was out with a group of couples 825 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: a lot of different moms of a variety of different 826 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: political persuasions, and what I found was just I was 827 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: just having a conversation with them about what their thoughts 828 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: were on the Alito opinion leak. It's amazing to me 829 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: that people who are pro choice define themselves very strongly 830 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: pro choice. Almost all of them that I talked to said, well, no, 831 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: I would never support an abortion in the seventh, eighth, 832 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: or ninth month of pregnant, see when the child is 833 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: in many ways potentially able to survive outside of the womb. 834 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 1: And similarly, people who said, hey, I'm one hundred percent 835 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: pro life, obviously, we're okay with birth control. Everyone that 836 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: I was talking with, they were okay with exceptions in 837 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: the life of the mother certainly an incest and ape 838 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: and other things. How much agreement, and this may be 839 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: a surprise question, but it surprised me there's actually a 840 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,280 Speaker 1: ton of agreement on abortion, and now that every state 841 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: has to make decisions, I think democrats are going to 842 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: find when you go into the specific details of abortion, 843 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: there isn't as much support for certainly all the way 844 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 1: up to nine month pregnancy as they're trying to argue 845 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: through the media. Have you started to see those conversations 846 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: take place, maybe an indifferent way, that the shift has 847 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: gone from should Rove Wade be the law of the 848 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: land to okay, what should abortion policy look like? Because 849 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued by the actions and responses when 850 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 1: you have those conversations. Well, you're absolutely right, and putting 851 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,439 Speaker 1: my own opinions aside, I'm really as anti abortion as 852 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: you can get. The average American is extremely what I 853 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 1: would call moderate on this issue. You'll hear a lot 854 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: of pro choice activist day. While the majority of people 855 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: want women to have access to abortion, they support Roe v. Wade, 856 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: But also the reality is that most people don't really 857 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: understand what Roe v Wade is. They think that if 858 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: Rovwade is overturned, then America is going to abolish abortion 859 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 1: across the land. Most people in America do believe in exceptions, 860 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: even if they consider themselves pro life. Again putting my 861 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: own personal opinions to decide that it's just typical of 862 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,760 Speaker 1: the average Americans. But as you mentioned, most Americans also 863 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 1: believe that there should be restriction, especially when you get 864 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 1: into this second and third trimester, and that really has 865 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: been Eddie. I mean, the last has moved far left 866 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: over the past ten and twenty years, for sure, but 867 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 1: when it comes to abortion, the average American really has 868 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: stayed the same in what they consider to be a 869 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: good abortion policy. So if the LAFT really cares about 870 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,439 Speaker 1: democracy as much as they say they do, if they 871 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: really are so confident that Americans want access to abortion, 872 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: then let's put it up to a vote, which is 873 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: exactly what would happen across the state. Of course, if 874 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,239 Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade is overturned, it would be our democratic 875 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: processes playing out in state legislatures. I feel like we're 876 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: making you are unofficial but semi official Mom whisperer here 877 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 1: in real time, because I got another mom question for you, 878 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 1: and that is with the school issue that we've seen 879 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: and teaching of CRT and all of the all of 880 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 1: the back and forth at the school board meetings, are 881 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: you getting the sense that moms, we know moms were 882 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: fired up, right, that would be we saw that in Virginia. 883 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 1: We've seen that in some key some key indicators, including 884 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: in some elections. Let's call it six seven months ago. 885 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: But are they still fired up? Do you think that 886 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,240 Speaker 1: the shutdowns of schools for COVID the teaching of CRT 887 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 1: and now the teaching the transagenda might surprise some folks 888 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: with how much that motivates parents, moms, but parents in 889 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: general to show up at the polls in this midterm. Well, 890 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: you can absolutely bet the Democrats that's exactly what Democrats 891 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: are trying to distract women and moms from using this 892 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,439 Speaker 1: abortion issue and trying to stoke courage around abortion. They're 893 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 1: trying to make them forget about what Democrats did to 894 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: their children over the past couple of years. I don't 895 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: think that it's going to work. I don't think abortion 896 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: mobilize it independent or moderate women as much as they 897 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: think that it does, and so I do think it's 898 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: an issue. I do think that the radicalism and school 899 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: curriculum is going to be an issue. I think the economy, inflation, 900 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: the lack of supplies like baby formula that moms are 901 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: able to find, I think that that's going to be 902 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: far more mobilizing than the abortion issue, for sure. And 903 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 1: I think as the fall comes and as we see 904 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: more school board meetings, that you are going to see 905 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 1: that energy kind of reop once again. But look, it's 906 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: going to take a lot of work on the conservative 907 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: side to make sure that moms are still aware of that, 908 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: because look, there's a lot of propaganda, especially I like 909 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,760 Speaker 1: to say that white woman Instagram, especially progressive white woman Instagram, 910 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 1: is like the biggest purveyor of political propaganda that exists. 911 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: And so it's going to take a lot of effort 912 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 1: to reach those moms and to educate and inform those 913 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: moms to make sure they know what's going on and 914 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 1: why it matters. I think it's possible, but it's going 915 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: to take a lot of efforts. Ali, we agree suburban 916 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: women hold the key to the twenty twenty two and 917 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four electimes.
