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 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Gleat Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: We are powering through the Monday edition of the program. Hope, 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: Paul of you are having a fantastic day. Buckle up 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: told you for a while, twenty twenty three is going 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: to be the story of Trump versus the Santas and 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Buck I told you this a while back and encourage 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: you to go subscribe to the podcast. Make sure you 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: don't miss a moment. This to me is very much 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: of a sports analogy twenty twenty two. Last year, everybody's 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: on the same team. Let's hold Biden accountable, Let's figure 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: out how to check the power that he has. And 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: thankfully I gotta give him credit. Kevin McCarthy has been 14 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: a pretty badass Speaker of the House, I would say 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: so far, especially given that we're a couple of months 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: into his tenure and when he came in, everybody said 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: he's not gonna have any power, He's not gonna be 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: able to do anything thing. I think Bucky's done really well, 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: and certainly the first job of any opposition party is 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: just to keep the party in power aka the Democrats 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: from making things worse, and so far in twenty three, 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: that seems to me to be exactly what the Republican 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: House is doing. And I spoke to some very conservative 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: members of Congress recently off not officially officially off the record, 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: but you know, in private, and they said McCarthy got 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: the wake up call so far that was there. That 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: was their take on it. They said that. And by 28 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: the way, isn't that the way this is supposed to go? 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: Remember when there was all that consternation, Oh my gosh, 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: we're not gonna have a speaker for a few days. 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: They hashed it out, you know, politics, this is what happens. 32 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: And it does look like McCarthy he may not fully 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: know what time it is, but he's closer than knowing 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: what time it is than he was before. Yeah, I 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: think that he has done a phenomenal job so far, 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a challenge. But twenty twenty two 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: stand up to Biden. Twenty twenty three is going to 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: be a family fight. It just is. It is a 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: ken I told Buck to living in the state of Alabama, 40 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: it is Auburn versus Alabama. If you're in South Carolina, 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: it's Clemson South Carolina. If you're listening to us in Kentucky, 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: it is Louisville against Kentucky. If you're listening in Michigan, 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: it's Michigan versus Michigan state, right that internal family in 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: state battle. That's the Santis Trump And also you're gonna 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: have Nicki Haley, and you're gonna have Pompeo, and you're 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna have some other Republicans involved in this battle as well. 47 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: But really this feels like the story is Trump versus 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: de Santis. It's important to remember, even in the midst 49 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: of the Trump to Santis battle, it doesn't matter who wins. 50 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: If it's Trump, we already know they're gonna say Trump 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: is Hitler. He's worse than Adolph Hitler. But what's ridiculous 52 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: is there are some people out there who say, well, 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: we need to pick somebody that they're gonna like more. 54 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: We need to pick a really likable choice. Remember what 55 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: they did to Mint Romney, who is ned Flanders. I mean, 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: Mint Romney is the least offensive human being on the planet. 57 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: If anybody dislikes Mint Romney, I legitimately think he curls 58 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: up in the fetal position and cries if he knows 59 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: that every night. He is the nicest, and I mean 60 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: this honestly, the nicest, least offensive, most bland white dude 61 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: in the history of Republican politics. And they turned him 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: into a right wing ideologue with binders full of women. 63 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: That was a zealot that he was. He was. He 64 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: was abusing the family dog, giving high school kids wedgies, 65 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: and handing out cancer to people after he had fired 66 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: them when he was running Bain. That was that was 67 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. You know, later on, after that whole election 68 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, we found out that Mitt Romney is 69 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of a sanctimonious phony. But he is an inoffensive 70 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: guy and he's a father of five. Like look, I've 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: never met Mit Romney. I have no relationship with him 72 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: at all. I think that he is so desperately concerned 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: with what people think of him that he's basically worthless 74 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: as a politician. Because I think we need more politicians 75 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: who don't care at all what people think about them, 76 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: and that's why we term limits would probably be somewhat helpful, 77 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: because you shouldn't be in government for your whole life, 78 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: like Joe Biden has been because this should be something 79 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: you do as public service, as opposed to your job 80 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: for whole life. But that's another rant entirely. What they're 81 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: going to do is try and I think this is 82 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge. But if someone beats Trump, let's 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: say De Santis beats Trump, don't mistake what they're gonna say. 84 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: They're going to say that DeSantis is actually worse than Trump, 85 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: that he's worse than Trump, who was Hitler. And you're 86 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: already hearing this. This was on MSNBC and Michael Beschelos, 87 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: who I think the last time we played a clip 88 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: from him, buck was saying that if Republicans won, this 89 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: might be the last election we ever had in twenty 90 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: twenty two and the next step would be firing squads, 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: like killing people. I think that was Michael Beschlos the 92 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: last time we played his cut from MSNBC. But I 93 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: want you to listen to this take. First of all, 94 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: he messes up round de Santis his name and calls 95 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: him Rick de Santis, which seems as a prognosticator like 96 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: a big whiff, given that most people know Ron de 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: Santis his first name. But he says that he is 98 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: a far right wing fascist that he is, in fact 99 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: Mussolini in Florida. This is what they're saying on MSNBC 100 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: about DeSantis. Listen, people who try to get a nomination 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: parties do it by trying to appeal to what they 102 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: think will work. Look what Rick de Santis has done 103 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: in Florida. He was known as sort of a nondescript 104 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: political leader member of Congress. Suddenly he really has tried 105 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: to turn himself into sort of a local Mussolini in 106 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: Florida with the book banding and the brutal tactics, and 107 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: even this week this suggestion that bloggers have to register 108 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: with the state for the honor of writing about the 109 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: governor and other political leaders. We have to call this 110 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: what this is. This is fascism and authoritarianism that goes 111 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: even beyond what Trump has talked about. That's what he 112 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: thinks is going to work in that party. And in 113 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: a way, that's the scariest thing of all. I mean, 114 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: this is this is delusional. First of all, it is 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: true that Rick descantist is both a terrible governor and 116 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: a terrible presidential candidate. Because I don't think there I 117 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: don't know there probably is a RISI say, this is 118 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: better to be looking over his shoulder at this Rick 119 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: guy like a real threat. It's like Ron, but with 120 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: like a curled up, you know, mustache that he's always twirling. 121 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: Rick dessantists he's very Ricky. To Santis definitely sounds like 122 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: somebody who's been on parole. I'll just say it. I 123 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: apologize to all the rickey to Santis is out there. 124 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, Clay, I love the show. At some level, 125 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: was that MSNBC. I appreciate the honesty though, of MSNBC 126 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: putting somebody on air to do political analysis about a 127 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: candidate whose name they don't even know, because they might 128 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: as well not know the candidate's names because it's all 129 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: a fascism, authoritarianism, racism. You know they're calling other it 130 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: is authoritarian to not be the person that's advocating for 131 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: playgrounds to be shut down. It's authoritarian to let people 132 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: live their lives normally. This is they're inverting the most 133 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: basic truth about what Ron de Santis did in Florida 134 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: to attack him, which is always an indicator of how 135 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: dishonest the people you're dealing with really are. And I 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: just think it's funny as well. There is there is 137 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: a scoreboard that you can look at here. You can 138 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: look at what's going on in Florida, Clay. You can't 139 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: buy anything, and you know, I'm down here in Miami 140 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: right now. You can't buy any down here that's not 141 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: two or three times as expensive as it was before 142 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: COVID because everybody's moving here, because everybody wants to live 143 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: in Florida. You've been dealing with this in Tennessee, in 144 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: a Nashville area specifically for you know, the last decade, 145 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: and Texas has been dealing with this for the last 146 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty years. People saying, I don't want to 147 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: deal with authoritarian madness in lunacy. I want to go 148 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: to free your states. But not only is de Santis 149 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: somebody who is presiding over a free or state. He 150 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: created Florida as a red state that people are flocking 151 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: to from a razor thin blue red margin. That's the 152 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: difference here. You know, he didn't inherit Texas and keep 153 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: keep and keep Texas Texas. He took over a fifty 154 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: fifty state and has made it solidly read with eight 155 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: hundred thousand people showing up and everything they do. That's 156 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: an attack on de Santist. Turns out it looks like 157 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: an ad for it. That's what's amazing it is. And 158 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: let me just reinforce this because I think it ties 159 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: in with Trump as well. COVID revealed who politicians are 160 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: because if Trump had truly been a fascist dictator as 161 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: they wanted to label him, never would any politician in 162 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: the last basically fifty years have had more opportunity to 163 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: take power and use it than Trump in the beginning 164 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: days of COVID. And do you know what Trump did 165 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: mostly deferred to governors and mostly deferred to mayors. In fact, 166 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: you can argue that Trump's biggest flaw in response to 167 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: COVID was that he wasn't authoritarian enough and that he 168 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: deferred to ten pot tyrant dictators like Anthony Fauci too much. 169 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: But for this attack to be made by Michael Beschlos, 170 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning a historian that is how he makes 171 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: his living and political commentator on MSNBC. To your point, 172 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite of what DeSantis did. He gave 173 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: you the freedom to go to school, to not wear masks, 174 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: to live a normal life when everybody else was shutting 175 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: down all around him. And that's why this Gavin Knewsome 176 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: feuding business and maybe we'll play a cut from desantist 177 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: going out to speak at the Ronald Reagan Library. That's 178 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: why this DeSantis feuding with all these other red state 179 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: governors who are far more popular. He came after my 180 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: home state governor, Bill Lee. He's come after Greg Abbott 181 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: down in Texas a lot. He's certainly obsessed with Ron DeSantis. 182 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: The attack on DeSantis that is not going to work because, 183 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Buck, eight hundred thousand people have moved 184 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: to Florida since COVID started, probably almost a million now 185 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: because those the data is a little bit behind. The 186 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: attack that's not going to work on him is he's 187 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: going to take away your freedom. That is playing right 188 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: into De Santis's hands. In my opinion, Oh, Ron de 189 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: Santis is going to be a dictator. Well, his entire 190 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: governance so far in Florida has been about enabling more power. 191 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: And I do think this ties in with this whole 192 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: book band thing, which we need to talk about more 193 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: during the course of this It's because that is a 194 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: why that needs to be shot down. Yeah, what they're 195 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: saying is anytime that somebody objects to a book for 196 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: grade school kids that describes in pornographic detail sexual acts. 197 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: They say, hey, maybe we shouldn't have this here on 198 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: the shelf for third graders. You're banning books. Look at 199 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: you banning books. I mean, think about this for a second. 200 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: Are you if you tell if you were to pass 201 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: a resolution in a grammar school no porn allowed on 202 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: our computers? Are you banning porn or you preventing grade 203 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: schoolers from seeing porn? Which of these is the honest position? 204 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: They true totally lying about this. We can all see it. 205 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: It's preposterous. They're the ones that are editing and changing 206 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: some of the great authors of recent and distant history 207 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: because it's too offensive to read. Oh my gosh, Shakespeare 208 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: can handle it. And you know, with de Santis, I 209 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: think it's such an important thing for everyone to keep 210 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: in mind. Here we're always were bombarded with all this 211 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: messaging and poll tested stuff and all this. At the 212 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: end of the day, you want somebody who defends the constitution, 213 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: who makes it a better place, a better, safer, free, 214 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: or more prosperous place for you to live, whether it's 215 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, the country or you're the state that you 216 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: live in. By every metric conceivable, Florida is a better 217 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: place now than it was when Ron De Santis was 218 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: running in twenty eighteen. On the economy, on crime, population, 219 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: everything go go, you know, population density and all the 220 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: people who have moved here, everything, And yet they still 221 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: want to argue that. I mean, it's pathetic, right, Gavin, 222 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: California is collapsing under its budget deficit. It's sclerotic state bureaucracy, 223 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: it's unbelievably burdensome welfare state, it's high crime rates. All 224 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: these things people are fleeing. Who can flee The opposite 225 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: is happening in Florida, and Florida is the bad guy. 226 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: Just recognize what they're gonna do. If you're out there 227 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: and you're trying to pick a candidate and you're like, oh, 228 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: I want somebody that they're gonna like more, they're gonna 229 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: destroy that person, guy or girl, doesn't matter who it is. 230 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: They look at what they did to Mett Romney. You 231 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: look at what they're already trying to do to the Sciantists. 232 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: Pick your fighter, don't pick somebody that you think the 233 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: other side is going to like. You need a scrapper 234 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: because they're gonna try to destroy them. That's what they're 235 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna do, and it ain't gonna be pretty. It's gonna 236 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: be nasty.

That's why people are moving. The state of Florida, 260 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: we have millions of more people now than the state 261 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: of New York does. And yet New York State they 262 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: have twice the size of the state budget then the 263 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: state of Florida does. But not only does New York 264 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: State have twice the budget that Florida does, New York 265 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: City's budget with eight million people is basically the same 266 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: size as Florida state budget with the state of over 267 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: twenty two million people. It's amazing. The numbers don't lie. 268 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: That's worth they stand right now. That was Governor Ronda 269 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: Santist out in California, in Gavin Newsom's backyard, really spike 270 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: in the football in the dystopia that is increasingly some 271 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: of the population centers of California. Look, I know you 272 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: can you know you can still get great wine out 273 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: in Napa and there's beautiful places, we said, along California's paradise. 274 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: I think California is one of the most geographically blessed 275 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: places on planet Earth. It's amazing for what it is 276 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: when you think of all the all the geographic diversity 277 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: and what it brings to bear and all the things 278 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: you can do. But it's got terrible governance. And you know, Clay, 279 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: I just I just saw this as we were in 280 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: the break. Walmart is closing its final two stores in Portland, 281 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: laying off six hundred workers. Why record breaking levels of theft. 282 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: They're stealing so much from Walmart. Everybody that Walmart can't 283 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: stay open. That's what democrats cities have become. Now. That's 284 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's just devastating, Buck because the people who 285 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: have those jobs lose their jobs in many of those neighborhoods, right, 286 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: And you talked about this when you were in New 287 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: York and Ali our producer, and all the staff up 288 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: in New York. The amount of stuff they now put 289 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: behind the lock to try to buy, it's crazy, Like 290 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: you can't even go buy, like, for instance, a razor 291 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: because you're traveling and like I do all the time, 292 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: sometimes you forget to bring a razor with you so 293 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: you can shave. Razor blades are behind the like behind 294 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: the glass, like they're super expensive. No, it's because so 295 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: much as being stolen that they almost default or having 296 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: to put everything behind the glass that's small, that's easily 297 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: to able to be hidden. Well, this is also, you know, 298 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: the the left wing lunatic response to all this is 299 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: these companies, they didn't make so much profits. The corporate 300 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: is a man. It's the corporate profits. Man. They're destroying 301 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: these they're destroying some of these, certainly smaller businesses and 302 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: even the larger businesses. Okay, you can say Walmart's not 303 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: going bankrupt. Six hundred people just lost their jobs because 304 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: of theft.

But in the days leading 333 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,959 Speaker 1: up to the mid term, of all the crazy things 334 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: that were said on MSNBC, Michael Beschelos, their resident American 335 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: political historian, said, we're in real trouble. If Republicans win, 336 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: this might be the last election we ever have in America. 337 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Listen to what he said might happen. We could be 338 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: six days away from losing our rule of law and 339 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: losing a situation where we have elections that we all 340 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: can rely on. You know, those are the foundation stones 341 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: of a democracy. And a historian fifty years from now, 342 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: if historians are allowed to ride in this country, and 343 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, 344 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: which I'm not certain of, but if that is true, 345 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: a historian will say what was at stake tonight and 346 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: this week was the fact whether we will be a 347 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested 348 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: and conceivably killed. We're on the edge of a brutal 349 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: authoritarian system and it could be a week away. Your 350 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: kids could be arrested and murdered if Republicans win in 351 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: the mid terms. I mean, I wish Michael Beschelis would 352 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: come on this program. He certainly wouldn't, But Buck, he's 353 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: not an unintelligent person, right, I mean, to be able 354 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: to write a book, you have to have some foundational 355 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: level of intelligence. How can his brain have become overtaken 356 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: by the woke virus to such an extent that he 357 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: is afraid of Republicans win elections. Kids are going to 358 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: be taken out of houses and lined up and shot. 359 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: I mean, this is not this is like next level crazy. 360 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: And that was on MSNBC a few days before the elections. 361 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: The people who said the craziest stuff about Trump in 362 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: democratic media all enhanced their careers. Yeah, you cannot find 363 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: an example of somebody. You could have said that Trump 364 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: and Putin were pickleball partners on the weekends, who scheme 365 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: to steal the twenty sixteen election while Trump was sitting 366 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: there with the you know, the Queen of England and 367 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: the Builderbergs and the Illuminati. And guess what, your career, 368 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: as long as it was some version of Orange man 369 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: bad I hate Trump more than anything in the universe, 370 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: were on, You were booked more, your book advance probably 371 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: got bigger for the next time, the big publishing house 372 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: decided to come calling, and you grew an audience. And 373 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: that is almost without exception. I mean, there was some 374 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: guy I remember who was getting He had like a 375 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: million followers on Twitter. He wrote a book called Proof 376 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: of Collusion. I don't know the guy's name, but I 377 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: just remember there wasn't no proof of collusion because now 378 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: everydemits there was no how do you write a book 379 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: on a thing that doesn't even exist? He built his 380 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: whole career on the thing that's a fabrication. And the 381 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: point is it's not like his career is gone now. 382 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: Now people are like, oh, let's book the guy who 383 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: wrote that book, right, I shouldn't name it again. I 384 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: don't don't buy it. It's obviously lunacy. But the point 385 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: is this is the reality of the Democrat media today. 386 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: There is nothing you can say about Trump that is 387 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: too crazy. If you claimed that Trump assassinated Julius Caesar 388 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: at the Senate in Rome, people might kind of be like, 389 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: that's a little weird, but they'd be like, I like 390 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: what this guy's going with that, And now I kind 391 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: of like what he's putting down here. I wanted to 392 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: hit this too, so that is Michael Beschelo's the historian 393 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: at MSNBC. I over read the New York Times. I 394 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: understand the groans out there. I still get it delivered 395 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: in the print newspaper because I like to see how 396 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: they package the news. Basically, Saturday edition New York Times, 397 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: this was a front page story. Black equestrians want to 398 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: be safe, but they can't find helmets for black riders 399 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: with natural hair, Finding a helmet that fits can be 400 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: virtually impossible. Some are trying to raise awareness of the problem, 401 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: but manufacturers say it's not a simple fix. Okay, let's 402 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: start here. How many black equestrians with major dreadlock hairstyles 403 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: do you think there are in the United States today? 404 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: Four hundred? Oh, I was gonna say it might be ten. 405 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: So that wouldn't suggest because the woman that they use 406 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: as their focal point here buck name is Chanelle Robbins. 407 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: She's from Canada, so it's not even an American. But 408 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: listen to this opening paragraph. Chanelle Robbins has been riding 409 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: horses most of her life, ever since her grandma traded 410 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: a cow from their family's farm for a pony when 411 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: she was seven. So this girl got a pony when 412 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: she was seven years old. Okay, you are pretty I'm 413 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: just gonna be generalizing here. You are probably fairly wealthy 414 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: if you had a pony when you were growing up, 415 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: and if you presently have a horse and you don't 416 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: have a job that requires you to have a horse, 417 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: aka you are not a cowboy, you probably are pretty 418 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: wealthy too. This girl. Eight years ago, she reconnected with 419 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: her father, a native of Jamaica. As the two grew closer, 420 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: she decided to get dreadlocks like her dad. There was 421 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: a problem, I'm reading from the article. There was a problem. 422 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: Her riding helmet no longer fit and she couldn't find 423 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: one that did. This is the front page of the 424 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: New York Times. Listen to this quote. This is a 425 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven year old girl. I finally freaking feel like myself, 426 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: and now society is asking me to change Robbin's twenty 427 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: seven said as she choked back tears. I just want 428 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: to be able to ride. Front page in the New 429 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: York Times, Black equestrians. It's racist that helmets don't fit, 430 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: because when you have dreadlocks, that helmets don't fit well enough. 431 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 1: This is I can find something blowing up over this. 432 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: I mean I went to Amherst College. Yeah, down the 433 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: street from Amorous College was Hampshire College also called Hempshire College. 434 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: A lot of weed smoking going on over there, right, 435 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: a lot of hippie culture, and a lot of white 436 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: guys who grew dreadlocks. That was a common thing, right, 437 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: There were a lot of white guys who had dreads. 438 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: So what is why is there this assumption that would 439 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: only be wouldn't this be you see what I'm saying, 440 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't this also be a problem for somebody who grew 441 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: their hair out as dreadlocks, regardless of their race. I 442 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: would think so, and also for a lot of you 443 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: out there. Being an adult, and remember this woman is 444 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, sometimes requires that you balance two 445 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: different things that you might like one. Let's be honest, 446 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: if you truly are obsessed with this and you're an equestrian, 447 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: maybe design a helmet that fits the hairstyle that you 448 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: want to have. Maybe remove padding, maybe by larger than normal, 449 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: Maybe get a new chin strap, Like I would think 450 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: there are lots of ways that you could solve this 451 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: problem without the New York Times need to write about it. 452 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: I want to give you I'm gonna tell have a 453 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: little confession to mere Clay. When I it was required 454 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: when I would hop on military transport in Iraq and Afghanistan, 455 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: I had to I had to wear a helmet. Yep. 456 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: I have a really big head. Yep. And people always 457 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: say that and they're like, I have a big head too, 458 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, no no, you don't understand. I have 459 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: one baseball cap. Clay, you will never see photos of 460 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: with a baseball hat on. You know why, because I 461 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: had to special order a baseball hat. One size fits all. 462 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: One size fits all does not fit Buck. I have 463 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: a giant noggain. It is a big head. And you know, 464 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: when I was over there trying to fit into helmets, 465 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: to get into it was not easy. It would give 466 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: me headaches. I had to search far and wide for 467 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: an extra extra large helmet and hold on to that 468 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: thing for dear life. You know, sometimes it's on you 469 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: to figure out your own way to get through the situation. 470 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. I don't know. I 471 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna sit there and say they don't want people 472 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: with large heads to serve their country overseas because the 473 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: helmet doesn't fit me. That would have been an amazing 474 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: front page New York Times story, just kind of you 475 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: looking morosely on a transport plane, like with a hell. 476 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: You know, the plight of large headed men in the 477 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 1: army are not contemplated enough. But look, I mean, adulthood 478 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: requires you sometimes to balance life choices. If you truly 479 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: are upset because you can't ride for fun you're super 480 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: expensive horse, because the helmet doesn't fit you well enough, 481 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: maybe get a new haircut. That doesn't seem irrational to me, 482 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: but just go to school. Anybody who grew out their 483 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: hair enough, this is my point of any would have 484 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: the same problem. My wife said this. I was just 485 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: downstairs with her. She was so fired up about this story. 486 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: She was like, I loved the snowboard right, and she said, 487 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: my hair if you met my wife, super curly, super buoyant. 488 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: She's like, it doesn't fit very well in helmets either, 489 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: and I have to like figure all these different things out. 490 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: She's like, you know what, that's life, Suck it up. 491 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: So it's like to your point, like the helmet may 492 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: not fit. Do you know how many times I've gone 493 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: on TV and had someone accused me afterwards on Twitter 494 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: of wearing a wig clay. It happens to me constantly. 495 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: Or they say that I look like the lego man 496 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: and my hair could be removed like one piece, you 497 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like people people are mean about 498 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: that sometimes. Well, I just I appreciate the New York Times. 499 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: What it also did is point out to me how 500 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: a ladiest of an organization, the New York Times is 501 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: to be trying to find this hard, something that impacts 502 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: so few people and putting it on the front page. 503 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: The real underlying point here is that a story of 504 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: even the most obscure and minute and passive victimization that 505 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: in some way they can construe with some kind of 506 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: racial angle. New York Times readers like, oh my gosh, 507 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: I have to read that, yeah, or at least three 508 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: times New York Times writers or I have to write it. 509 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: They are addicted to victimology, addicted to it. They can 510 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: all just Ali just pointed out, swimmers shave their entire 511 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: bodies to save milliseconds off. I'm sure some of them 512 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: are like, you know what, I'd rather have more hair, 513 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: but in order to wear a swim cap and in 514 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: order to be involved in the swimming process in general, 515 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: you make a sacrifice to compete in that sport, and 516 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: that's actually competition as opposed to just getting to ride 517 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: around on your horse for fun in your free time.

Now, mister Clay, So I m a couple things. 560 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: First of all, I watched over the weekend this Netflix 561 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: Formula one show. Have you ever seen it? Not why 562 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: it's fifth season or something, right, it's it's yeah, it's 563 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: fifth season. It's it's phenomenally well produced and excellent. But 564 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 1: I just thought it was funny because I saw my 565 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: brothers yesterday. We all went out and had family doubles 566 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: on the tennis court, not pickleball, actual tennis. I'm just saying. 567 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I know if it's all at a 568 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: pickleball these days, I'm like some of us still kick 569 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: at old school with a tennis but we all we 570 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: all the same, the same reaction, which is so Formula 571 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: one For those who don't know, not only is it 572 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: the it's a super fancy international race car circuit. Formula one. 573 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: I found this out. I didn't know this. It refers 574 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: to the rules for what the racist that is what 575 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: Formula one is it is the formula for what the 576 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: cars have to be in order to be Formula one cars. 577 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: There's all these rules and regulations, so that's why it's 578 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: called Formula one. The show is really interesting when you 579 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: try to watch the Formula one actual live race though, 580 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: because there was one yesterday. It's a lot of going 581 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: around in circles real fast, and I'm like two hours 582 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: of this man, two hours, So I'm not I like 583 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: the show, but I can't because because what I was 584 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: thinking was they need to do this for NASCAR. They 585 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,239 Speaker 1: need to do a Netflix NASCAR show. Why haven't they 586 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: done that yet? It's a great question I've been watching. 587 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: I haven't watched any of the Formula one because I've 588 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: never been a big racecar fan of sports in the 589 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: first place, although I've heard you don't have to be 590 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: to enjoy the show. I have watched four or five 591 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: episodes of the PGA Tour Netflix show done by the 592 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: same company. I Actually I think it's pretty good, so 593 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: I was impressed at that quality. Other than as somebody 594 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: who plays golf, sometimes it's annoying, like, hey, so a 595 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: par Is, you know they have to go back and 596 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: totally explain golf to people who've never played golf before, 597 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: but the drama and the enjoyment of it is pretty 598 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: solid now. They may also end up one day doing 599 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: a WTA story show. And this, to me is something 600 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: that I would urge every Republican out there to climb 601 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: on board and just slam to the high heavens because 602 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: it demonstrates how ridiculous everything is in this country. Still 603 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: no back Djokovic not allowed in the country despite having 604 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: COVID at least twice buck and because he won't get 605 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: the COVID shot. Five million people have crossed the southern 606 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: border since Joe Biden became president that we know of, 607 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: none of whom have to get the COVID shot. So 608 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: you can illegally enter this country without getting the COVID shot, 609 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: and we will let you loose to live as you 610 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: see fit in this country. By and large, you cannot 611 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: fly in for a short visit like Novak Djokovic would 612 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: like to do, to be able to compete in a 613 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: tennis tournament without the COVID shot. I mean, it's impossible 614 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: to defend this. What I wonder is how long can 615 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: this continue? You know, you'd think that on one of 616 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: those Sunday shows that pretend to be journalism, their regime propaganda. 617 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: But you know, Meet the Press and these different you know, 618 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, State of the Union, these different programs that 619 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: are just all meant to be platforms for the talking 620 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: points of the Democrat regime. How long can they get 621 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: away with not explaining to the public how is it 622 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: that America still has a COVID vaccine requirement to come 623 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: into the country. Like, I want please out anyone, anyone 624 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: out there who is a Democrat of with some platform 625 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: or standing or works in the administration. Colin, try to 626 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: explain this to us. I would love to hear, because 627 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: here's what I would say, Clay, I don't believe it 628 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: is possible to explain why America Underbiden still has a 629 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine requirement for entry without sounding like a complete 630 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: and utter maniacs. I'd love for Karine Jean Pierre to 631 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: get asked that direct question by somebody in the White 632 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: House Press briefing, because I don't think she could answer it. 633 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I'm taking my family on 634 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: Friday to Italy. Never been at spring break. I can't wait. 635 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: I didn't get the COVID shot the kids, didn't. We're 636 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: flying right back as American citizens. It's crazy.
