1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Tuesday edition. 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you've had a great holiday break back 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: into the Fray, and my goodness, if we aren't into 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: a crazy pray immediately, the first ballot has already been cast, 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: The voting is underway, and Kevin McCarthy is not going 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: to receive enough votes to be speaker, so on the 7 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: first ballot. This means we will go to a second 8 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: ballot for speaker for the first time in a hundred years. 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: And again, I don't think Buck anybody has any idea 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: how exactly this is going to play out, because there 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be a second ballot that is suddenly 12 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: going to resolve everything. And by the way, things could 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: change at the last moment they cast their votes. They're 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: going through alphabetically. You can change your vote before it 15 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: becomes final. For people out there who are procedural wizards 16 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: and want to know that the nitty gritty your initial vote, 17 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: I think you get a chance right before the final 18 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: vote to cast it. So in theory, something could occur 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: that would lead to people flipping their vote. But Kevin McCarthy, 20 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: as people are making it known who they are voting 21 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: for does not have two hundred and eighteen votes in 22 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: order to be able to take that next step and 23 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: become Speaker of the House. What is this supposed to 24 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: is the question that I don't and we're both just 25 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: so you know, we're in real time contacting and getting 26 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: getting information from members of Congress who are in this 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: floor fight and who are going through this right now. 28 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: And I'm still wondering what exactly is supposed to happen 29 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: here because the concessions that I've seen talked about are 30 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: things that McCarthy would not There's just no way he's 31 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: going to sign on to at least their ability to 32 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: have a there's a sort of Democle's provision, if you will, 33 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: where if he does things they don't like, they're able 34 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: to exercise it and it will stand in the way 35 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: of the Speaker's ability to do his job. They're just 36 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: not going to go with that. So I'm kind of 37 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: sitting here. I'm a little bit be funneled as to 38 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: what's the plan if not McCarthy right now, And I 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: guess maybe what they'd say, Clay is, well, that's why 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: we have multiple ballots, and we'll see how this goes. 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: But I need to know that there's a plan, right, 42 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: I need to know that this is not just hey, 43 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: who's flying the plane. It's like someone's flying the plane 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: and then we find out now there's an empty seat there. 45 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: It's just a bunch of people hoping that it glides 46 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: peacefully to the earth. Here's a question too, I would 47 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: have and I'm sure some of you out there are 48 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: kind of laughing. Think about this. What if they just 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: don't pick a speaker? Like how long could it go 50 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: without someone officially being named speaker? In other words, we 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: already know that they have they have cut the legs 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: out from underneath the Republican House because they've agreed to 53 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: the spending omnibus that runs, I believe buck through September 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: thirtieth of next year. What does the House actually have 55 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: to do? Right? Like, That's what I was getting at before. 56 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: There's not really you know, you could have it conjure 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: up the perfect Republican Speaker of the House for this 58 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: one and eighteen Congress. I mean, you know a combination 59 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: of you know, you put them all together, Abraham Lick 60 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: and George Washington and and Moses I don't know, whatever 61 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: come up with your perfect individual. What are they really 62 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: going to do? What is this person going to do? Yeah, 63 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: that's my thing, But buck is there are there any 64 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: consequences if you can't get to two eighteen? Right? Like 65 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: what does the House? What constitutional responsibility does the House 66 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: actually have? Where there is a deadline, And you would say, boy, 67 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: if we don't have a Speaker of the House by March, 68 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: like what do they? I don't know, Like the Senate 69 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: obviously has to consent on a variety of different jobs, judges, 70 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: all those things, like what is the House now that 71 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the omnibus has done? What does the House do? And 72 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: I have to say, I hate looking at what the 73 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: other team is doing with some degree of envy, but 74 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: I think you have to, right, you have to, you know, 75 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: if you're getting beaten by some new offense, or if 76 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: if someone's managing to just kick your butts somehow, you 77 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: have to be honest with yourself about that. And I 78 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: see this going on right now, and like I said, 79 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: all that matters here is the eventual result. Really, so 80 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: we can't know until we see where this goes. Maybe 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy will end up just being speaker and there'll 82 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: be some sort of a deal or some concession, whatever 83 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: it may be. We don't know, but I do know 84 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: that Nancy Pelosi did not have these kinds of problems. 85 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: I do know that Nancy Pelosi had the Democrats just 86 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: in lockstep behind her to get the progressive left commy 87 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: agenda as pushed through as fast as possible. And you know, 88 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: you got to look at the things the other team 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: does well and say, what are we trying to do, 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: either to emulate that or to counter it? And right 91 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: now I feel like we have neither. We neither have 92 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: the unity of Democrats in their authoritarian madness, nor do 93 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: we have a plan to counter it right now with 94 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: what we're doing. So I come back to what exactly 95 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: is the point? And I don't get very satisfactory answers 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: to this, But then again claim maybe this in a 97 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: week is one of those things that nobody even really remembers. 98 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: It gets settled and it's all done. That's why I 99 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: come back to every time they say, oh, if we 100 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: shut the government down, then basically when you hit the 101 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: red button so many times and nothing happens, it's the 102 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: boy who Cried Wolf scenario. Right when you're telling me, oh, 103 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: this is politically unprecedented. There's no way we can hit 104 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: and then it happens, You're like, yeah, my life really 105 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: didn't change at all. I think there are a lot 106 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: of people out there saying, hey, does your life really 107 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: change depending on what the speaker? And I'm just asking 108 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: the question if there weren't two hundred and eighteen votes 109 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: for anybody to be speaker, and let's say we're in 110 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: March and they're still they're having their seven hundred and 111 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: forty six you know vote, what imperative does the House 112 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: have to do? There's a lot of things I would 113 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: like them to do, right, the committees hearings, all those 114 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: things that I think are important in shining a light 115 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: on a lot of different Democrat malfeasance. But what constitutional 116 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: obligation the House have to now they've already funded the 117 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: government through September. I can't think of anything that they 118 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: have to do buck, So how does our life change 119 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: if they just keep voting marathon session over and over 120 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: and over. Is there a part of you that thinks 121 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: that maybe this is that that that a degree of 122 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: of chaos mixed with congressional inertia is the goal here? 123 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: Do you think that yet? Like I mean, you can't 124 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: pass anything in the sense I mean again, we have 125 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: to go back to very elemental aspects of our government. 126 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: They are a roadblock, all of the Democrats Shenanigans. But 127 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: if that's but that's not necessarily not like we're gonna 128 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: have a hearing and Joe Biden's gonna be like, oh, 129 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: you caught me. You know what, I have been taking 130 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: millions of dollars my son. It was a bit. I 131 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: was a big guy. I'm walking out. This is why 132 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: I do think the Benghazi comparisons, and I've been saying 133 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: this for years. Benghazi was the hearings I'm talking about, 134 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: not the event and not you know, people from the 135 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: agency and everything else that we're involved there. I'm not 136 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: talking about ben Ghazi in that context. Know a lot 137 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: about that, and we could talk about that at another time. 138 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: The aftermath of congressional hearings with people pounding the table, 139 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: and it achieved nothing. I hate to say, it achieved 140 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: nothing other than launching a few cable news careers and 141 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: getting some members of Congress some soundbites. So we have 142 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: to understand that and not over promise, not believe that 143 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: something bigger will come out of that, and look, I 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: say this also as somebody who Clay, I got a 145 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: little bit of heat, a little bit of heat when 146 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: I just said, and we had Carrie Lake on the 147 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: show many times. You were a particularly booster of hers 148 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: as a candidate. But when they called the election for 149 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: her opponent, Katie Hobbs, I just said, look, I don't 150 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: know all the ins and outs of what's going on 151 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: in Arizona in terms of voting. I learned as much 152 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: as I can, but I'm not there. I'm not running it. 153 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: But I do know that there's no judge who's going 154 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: to say carry Lake is actually the winner. And people 155 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: got mad at me for this, they said, why do 156 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: you say that, Well, it's because I understand the judicial system, 157 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: and there was no chance that a judge was going 158 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: to say that carry. And guess what happened. It's done. 159 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: They're not going to do this. It's not going to happen. 160 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: The courts have now thrown this out. So we all 161 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: on our side have to always be living in realityville. 162 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: We have to be honest about what's going on and 163 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 1: what's happening. And as frustrating, it's frustrating, it's frustrating, but 164 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: we have to process that frustration in a way that 165 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: looks at it as a strategic possibility, or in a 166 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: way that looks at it as a learning opportunity, instead 167 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: of telling ourselves things that are comfortable. You know, we 168 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: did Basically it all comes back to midterm. We didn't 169 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: get it done, and we unfortunately haven't gotten it done 170 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: in disabusing people of the notion that masking and booster 171 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: number six or five or whatever is going to save them, 172 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: which I think we had said we were going to 173 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: get to this. I think we should get to this 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: because for people who are living in you know, I'm 175 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: right now in Tallahassee, it's Clay's the Tennessee Man. And 176 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: those who are living in those parts of the country, 177 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: you're you're just like, well, COVID's over. It's all we 178 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: all realize when I say it's over too. The pandemic, 179 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: the authoritarianism, all of that. It's over in a lot 180 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: of places. It's not over everywhere. It's not over in Boston, 181 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: it's not over in New York. It's not over in 182 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They're not over in DC. They're they're holding 183 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: onto some of this. Clay, I think we should dive 184 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: into it, because this is just a remarkable exercise in 185 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: mass formation, psychosis, mass hysteria, whatever you want to call it. 186 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: A lot of lingering people out there with this stuff. 187 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to break right now here. I'll give you 188 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: a tease as we're going to break. Headline Wall Street Journal, 189 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: are vaccines fueling new COVID variants. The virus appears to 190 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: be evolving in ways that evade immunity. And the data 191 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: we had Baronson on one of the final guests, I 192 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: think I had them on Thursday or Friday before Christmas, 193 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: and he laid some of this stuff out and people 194 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: were like, oh, you're crazy, Like many times has happened, 195 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: and now the Wall Street Journal has put this out. 196 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. Let's talk about buck when we 197 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: come back, the fact that there are hundreds of thousands 198 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: of kids predominantly on the East and West Coast who 199 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: are going to be coming back from school from their 200 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: Christmas break required to wear masks, which is absolute bonker 201 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: Land crazy. We'll talk about all that, give you the 202 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: latest on this data, and continue to track what may 203 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: well be a dramatic, ongoing, slow moving train wreck, as 204 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: supposed as it pertains to who's going to end up 205 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: the speaker of the house. My friends, I wanted to 206 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: join me in making a big difference in the life 207 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: of an unborn child and the family of this child 208 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: will be born into I work with the Preborn Pregnancy Clinics, 209 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: a nonprofit organization that I saved the lives of more 210 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: than one hundred thousand children in this country. It's a 211 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: daunting task, but this group of dedicated individuals are as 212 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: determined as ever. They operate clinics across our nation, welcoming 213 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: expectant mothers making a decision on whether to bring their 214 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: child into this world or find the abortion clinic to 215 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: end the life of that child. These clinics provide a 216 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: free ultrasound to expectant moms so they can meet their 217 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: child for the first time, because hearing that heartbeat and 218 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: seeing that child and helping that bond between mother and 219 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: child develop so often results in the mom making the 220 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: right decision. Each ultrasound is a gift from individuals like 221 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: you that donate twenty eight dollars for a single ultrasound, 222 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: or if you can donate one hundred and forty dollars 223 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: for five ultrasounds.

So we all just got back from holiday. 231 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: I want to take a moment here on Clay and 232 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: Buck to put out there for you some some recommendations 233 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: and uh and and maybe maybe a pick a fight 234 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: with Clay about something here that's always fun. First off, 235 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: I think I had said that the All Quiet on 236 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: the Western Front movie on Netflix, this was before the 237 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: Break pretty good. Um Keegan's History of John Keegan's History 238 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: of the First World War is I think the best 239 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: single volume World War One history you can find. And 240 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: reading that as a companion to or preparation for All 241 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 1: Quiet on the Western Front. The remake of it was 242 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: really good. Clay. I watched though with Carrie and my dad. 243 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: Another movie. It was kind Some of it was in 244 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: subtitle some of it was in English, which I guess 245 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: makes sense considering considering the people, the different nations involved. 246 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: But the Forgotten Battle on Netflix, about this fight in 247 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: Holland after the Nazi, after D Day, and it's this one. 248 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: It's this period of World War two, I'd never seen. 249 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: It was actually pretty good. I'd say it was pretty good, 250 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: so I can put that out there as a recommendation 251 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: to folks. But I had talked a little smack, a 252 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: little smack about the artistic merit, now, not the technological merit, 253 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: but the artistic merit of the Avatar, the first Avatar movie, 254 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: which I will say the technology was amazing, but I 255 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: did think that it was a a ripoff of either 256 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: fern Gully Dances with Wolves or people always say there's 257 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: another one that it's it's like the stole in the plot, 258 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: Oh pokahonas pocahonnas fern Gully Dances with Wolves, except they 259 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: made it with blue aliens. Yes you saw it. Yeah, 260 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: And I thought this was gona. I thought this was 261 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna bomb. I thought Avatar too, The Way of Water 262 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: is gonna bomb. I am very upset to see that 263 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: it has already made over a billion dollars worldwide, because 264 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, you thought it was okay, tell us, 265 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: tell us how I'm shocked by this one. So I 266 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: think one reason, so I think it's made over one 267 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: point four billion. So I was out in Park City, Utah, 268 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: met a lot of our listeners. We have a monster 269 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: audience in Utah. I love all you guys. And my 270 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: oldest does not ski. My two youngest and my wife's 271 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: snowboards and her dad was with us, and I don't 272 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: like I don't ski. I don't really like cold weather. Frankly, 273 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: I do like park City. I do like Utah was beautiful. 274 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: We got feet and feet of snow, the likes of 275 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: which I've never seen. But my fourteen year old wanted 276 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: to go see the New Avatar. And there aren't very 277 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: many movies that are out, you know, usually around Christmas 278 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: there are you know, you look at the list of 279 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: movies and there's like ten different movies that you might 280 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: be interested in. I think one reason buck this New 281 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: Avatar is dominating is there's The Black Panther two and Avatar. 282 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Basically there's almost nothing else out in movie theaters right now. 283 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: So I went and saw it, and I knew that 284 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the story though, I mean Alie, our producer was like, hey, 285 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: I went to go see with my dad. It's very 286 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: anti marine, it's very anti American. I get that angle. 287 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit of ET. And what 288 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean by that is if you go back and 289 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: watch ET, the American military doesn't come off well because 290 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: they are, you know, trying to get ET to do 291 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: scientific test on him or whatever else, and he just 292 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: wants to phone home to be fair. That's all that's 293 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: all ET wants to do. He's very likable. But the 294 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: government never really comes off well in alien movies, right, 295 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: And my experience, and I like watching sci fi movies 296 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: and everything else, there's never been a time where you've 297 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: been like, hey, you know what the government's really tweet 298 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong where you watch a sci fi 299 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: movie involving aliens and the government comes off really well. 300 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: In the movie, the government is always the obstacle to 301 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: the scientists. Independence Day, Independence Day, Independence Day, they do. Yes, 302 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: that's the one example. And what I think that's why 303 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: people like that movie so much, because you know, humanity 304 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: comes together to beat the aliens instead of the real 305 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: the real enemy, the real enemy is humanity. President gets 306 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: in his fighter jet and goes out and like actually 307 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: fights as a you know, I think that maybe Randy 308 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: Quaid's finest appearance after the National Lampoon series. I don't 309 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: even remember Randy Quaid being in that movie. I haven't 310 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: seen Independence Day in a long time. He's the guy who, 311 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: in the words of our generation, he takes the fighter 312 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: in a very sensitive he takes the fighter play into 313 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: a very sensitive place on the ship. If you catch Madrid. Ah, Yes, 314 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: I gotta go back and watch Independence. I should probably 315 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: watch it with my boys. I did buck watch a 316 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: show that you're one hundred percent gonna be glad that 317 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: I did. I spent Christmas watching die Hard with my boys, 318 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: and Diehard, I believe is the greatest action movie of 319 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: all time. All right, we come back that the Latest 320 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: on the Wall Street Journal and the COVID shot. But 321 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: if you right now, I want to tell you, if 322 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: you need to get hooked up to make sure that 323 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: your identity is not getting stolen, to make sure that 324 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: all of your business is not getting taken advantage of 325 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: by cyber criminals, you need LifeLock.

Buck 335 00:18:52,680 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: Sexy on the front Lines Welcome back in Place, Travis 336 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. As the drama continues surrounding who is 337 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: going to be the speaker, there are a we should 338 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: mention this story as well. Buck, I was watching Monday 339 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: Night Football last night. I presume that you were not, 340 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: which I think is a good bet. Generally speaking. The 341 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: Bengals are playing against the Bills and a player, twenty 342 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: four year old safety Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills, 343 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: collapsed after making a tackle. He is right now in 344 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: the critical care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. 345 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: I'm reading from Nicole Safire, who says. The Bills have 346 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: given an update on Hamlin's condition. DeMar Hamlin spent last 347 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: night in the intensive care unit remains there today in 348 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Now 349 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: News also just came down that there is not going 350 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: to be a resumption of this game. They were about 351 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: five minutes in. Some of you may have seen. I 352 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: was on Fox News last night live for some time. 353 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: I talked about it again this morning. We've never seen 354 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: anybody collapse like this on the football field. Buck, It's 355 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: turned into a major controversy. Let me say one positive, 356 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: which I think is really what I love about sports. 357 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: Buck Damar Jamar Hamlin had a charity where he was 358 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: raising money for kids so they could get toys for 359 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: Christmas underprivileged kids in the Pittsburgh area. His initial goal 360 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: was to raise twenty five hundred dollars. Just think about 361 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: how great of a story this is. The reaction so 362 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: many people out there when a story like this happens. 363 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: It's you know, when someone in your community is ill, 364 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: or sick, or dies or one of the first things 365 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people do is say, Hey, I'm just 366 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna take a meal to the house. It's a small 367 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: thing doesn't change the tragedy. But it's just showing that 368 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: you care. It's extending a hand of kindness. This is incredible. 369 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred dollars goal for these kids presents for 370 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: this charity from tomar Hamlin, but they now have raised 371 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: four point two five million dollars for his charity for 372 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: kids to get Christmas presents. A hundred and fifty seven 373 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: thousand people have donated money. I am glad to be 374 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: one of them. If you are interested in donating yourself. 375 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: I shared this link. You can go find it on 376 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: my Twitter page. Just scroll down a bit at Clay 377 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: Travis but Buck this rapidly spiraled into a mess. We 378 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: obviously an OutKick cover this. This is a story without precedent. 379 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: Player goes into cardiac arrest on the field, basically had 380 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: to be resuscitated, is in critical condition right now. What 381 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: exactly caused this, we don't know. There is a condition 382 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: that has happened before where if you happen to get 383 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: hit basically right in your heart, it's happened in the NHL, 384 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: then you can have your heart stop beating, and it 385 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: is very rare. Sometimes it happens with kids. They get 386 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: hit by a baseball exceedingly rare. There will be certainly 387 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: an investigation into what happened here, but it rapidly turned 388 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: into a crazy mess, which is where it is right now. 389 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: What you were mentioning there is commocio cordus. That's right. 390 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: That's what everyone on the medical side has been comfortable 391 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 1: raising at least as a possibility here. I understand. I 392 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: think everyone understands that really the first priority, the only priority, 393 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: is hoping for a quick recovery for Damar Hamlin. While 394 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: we still don't know where this goes. He's in his 395 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: vital signs are stable, I think as we speak right now, 396 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: but he's still in critical condition. So anytime somebody has 397 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: a cardiac incident like this, there's going to be There's 398 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: still a lot of tests they have to run, a 399 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: lot of things they have to look at to figure 400 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: out if there's any additional damage and where things stand 401 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: overall from a health standpoint, I think it is. It 402 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: is indicative of this moment in the way people feel 403 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: though about health authorities and the health system that it 404 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: immediately breaks down into acrimony that there's already this. You know, 405 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: there are people saying if you even raise the possibility 406 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: that this is related to vaccines, you should be booted 407 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: off of Twitter forever, in Facebook, and you should be 408 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: fired from your job. And all of this, I understand 409 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who are very frustrated 410 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: out there by the fact that there's this desire in 411 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: the system to tell you what you can and can't 412 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: speak about, even after the system has been so demonstrably 413 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: and horrifically wrong for two years, the so called medical 414 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: consensus that is out there, and this is just something 415 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: that we've been warning about for a long time, which 416 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: is that when you have the abject politicization of COVID 417 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: that occurred, and this was pushed by Democrats, and this 418 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: is whether it's masks or vaccines or anything else, this 419 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: became an identity issue for the Laft and for the 420 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: Democrat Party in America. And when a majority, certainly of 421 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: outspoken medical professionals and public health experts, go along with 422 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: that politicization, there are consequences to public trust and the 423 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: public's willingness, at least among those who are independent thinkers, 424 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: to just sit down, shut up, and believe whatever you're told. 425 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: And I think this is a long This is going 426 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: to be a there's a long tale to this. This 427 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: is going to be something that continues to play out 428 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: in a number of ways. And so this incident for 429 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people, was one of these moments where 430 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: you saw this dynamic immediately play out. But I understand 431 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: for a lot of folks, it's just hold on a second. 432 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: Let's just focus on Jamar Hamlin getting healthy, getting getting 433 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, a clean, getting basically the okay sign from 434 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: his doctors before it immediately turns into politics. But Clay, 435 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: we know that's not there's a mass shooting, it becomes 436 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: political right away. These incidents are going to be politicized 437 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: right away. I think social media can be both good 438 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: and bad in that context. And the positive, as I said, 439 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: is hey, how about the fact that one hundred and 440 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: fifty some odd thousand people strangers decided to donate four 441 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: point two million dollars to do basically what I think 442 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: most humans do in the face of tragedy. They think, hey, 443 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: let's try to make this better. There is simultaneously bucking 444 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: we see this, and I think you're right exactly about that. 445 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: Social media accelerates so that incident happens and the Internet, 446 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: I've been arguing this for years. The Internet is basically 447 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 1: a big blame factory. Bad thing happens, doesn't matter what 448 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: it is. Bad thing happens, and immediately everybody has to 449 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: assess who is to blame for bad thing happening. Sometimes 450 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: bad things just happen, right like this on the field incident. 451 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: That's awful, but it's part of the game. We haven't 452 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: seen this necessarily, but bad thing happens, and then immediately 453 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, the NFL didn't cancel the game quick 454 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: enough or skip Bayliss, who works at Fox Sports sent 455 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: a tweet that wasn't appropriate given the scenario that we're under, 456 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: and so everybody needs to be angry at someone. Well, 457 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: there's there's always the internet mob. Oh yeah, first and 458 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: foremost refuses to give anyone any any grace or benefit 459 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: of the doubt because that doesn't serve their emotional needs 460 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: in the moment, the emotional need in the moment. That 461 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: and not just on this issue, on any issue that 462 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: you see from the internet mob is always to find, 463 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: as you put it, the blame to disperse on anyone 464 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: at any point in time. So that's just the reality 465 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: of modern commentary and the sharing of information that we 466 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: all live with is a shame. I do think it's 467 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: important that we can look at people's desire to be kind, 468 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: be helpful, you know, put up thoughts and prayers for 469 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin and his family, to do something good in 470 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: his name. And again he's hopefully going to make a 471 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: full recovery as well. Talk right here, it's it's I 472 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: think likely that he will. I don't know, not a doctor, 473 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: but based on what we're reading in the news report, 474 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: seems like he's going to be okay, which would be 475 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: the outcome that everybody wants. But see, that's the thing 476 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: that is the outcome that everybody wants here, right that 477 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: the assumption that because somebody wants to have a discussion 478 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: about hold on, are we being told the whole truth 479 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: about what happened here to Jamar Hamlin people. There's a 480 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: lot of it out there, a lot of commentary that's 481 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: not the same thing as somebody who does not wish 482 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: him and his family well. And I think that's a 483 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: jump that a lot of people immediately make, as in, 484 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: if you're on the wrong side of this political discussion, 485 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: you're essentially inhumane and don't care about because we see. 486 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: We see this with Jamar Hamlin and his family. We 487 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: also see this, as I said, with mass shootings. When 488 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: you talk, if you start talking about a mass shooting, 489 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: what is one side of it? Always say right away 490 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: you don't care about you know, the people or even 491 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: the children who were killed in this unfair we saw 492 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: with COVID, like if you said, hey, I want kids 493 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: to be in school, you wanted grandma's to die? No, No, 494 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: that's I always should to start up my show by saying, hey, 495 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm anti death. I wish we could all be immortal. 496 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: I don't want anybody's family members to ever. I don't 497 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: want to die. I'd like to live theoretically forever on earth. 498 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to stay relatively young. There are lots of 499 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: things I would like to do that I can. But 500 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: this also turned into how dare you share the video 501 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: of the which we need to talk about. We can 502 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: still Yes, I still haven't, so, yeah, I wasn't watching 503 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: Monday night football, which is, as you said, a fair bet. 504 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't watch Monday night football. Yeah, and uh, I 505 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: still haven't seen the video of this. And I do 506 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: think that we have to understand in an era of censorship, 507 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: based upon ideology, the idea that we could start to 508 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: remove things that are clearly news, yes, and that are 509 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: that are the actuality, the the evidentiary basis for news 510 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: from the public sphere because it's uncomfortable, because it's you know, 511 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: there's there's an onlook. I get it, they'll blur. So 512 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: if there's a horrible video that shows a shooting, they'll 513 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: do some blurring, and but they don't pull it off 514 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: the internet. And there seems to be you know, there's 515 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: a difference between limiting I think, the graphic nature of 516 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: something and just saying no one is allowed to see 517 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: what happened here on full public display with tens of 518 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: millions of people watching in the first place, Which is 519 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: why we come back. We'll talk about this because we 520 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: had to make an editorial decision on this buck at OutKick, 521 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, a company that I run, and as soon 522 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: as it happened, to our credit, our OutKick team put 523 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: up a video of the incident of the collapse. Here's 524 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: the hit, Here's what happened. Because yes, while there may 525 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: have been tens of millions of people watching this game, 526 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: there were hundreds of millions who were not and would 527 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: care about what might happen. We'll come back into this 528 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: in a moment. And also I want to note for 529 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: everyone that I think we said at the top of 530 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: the show that there has been an arrest made a 531 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: few days ago of the quadruple murder in Moscow, Idaho. 532 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 1: That I know Clay spent a lot of time with 533 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: you on that story before the Chris break, and we 534 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: had talked about it previously on this show. We had 535 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace on to talk about it. We will have 536 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: that forensics expert back on in the third hour to 537 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: talk about what we believe or what he believes led 538 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: to this arrest and the strength of the evidence against 539 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: that individual. Because the whole country was anyone paying attention 540 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: to the the news was certainly seeing and learning about that horrific, 541 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: horrific quadruple murder that occurred in a Moscow, Idaho. So 542 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: we'll come back in the third hour and we will 543 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: certainly have an updated discussion on that one. Rising inflation 544 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: of bottle stock markets, freaking havoc on your retirement accounts, 545 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: you see all the economic uncertainty. You know, we are 546 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: probably in a really rough year here in twenty twenty three. 547 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: That's why Phoenix Capital suggests you diversify your investments.

Welcome back to Clay and Buck. 564 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: We just got an update that nineteen members of the 565 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: House of Representatives Republicans obviously have voted against Kevin McCarthy 566 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: for Speaker of the house. It is immediately going to 567 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: another ballot, So it is real. It is underway. This 568 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: fight is going to play out. We will bring you 569 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: updates as we have it. And I still sit here 570 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: and wonder aloud, where is this for those nineteen? Where 571 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: is this supposed to go? I asked that in all honesty, 572 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't really know. I've tried to get answers about 573 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: what the plan is here. It seems like, look, there's 574 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: there's resistance and there's a tantrum. I'm not sure which 575 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: one this really falls into at this stage, because if 576 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: there is no plan, then creating these risks and possible 577 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: rifts I think is well not the most wise option perhaps, 578 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: But we're kind of operating here, Clay with it. It's 579 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: a little opaque right now. It's like, wait, hold on 580 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: a second, what are they trying to get out of this? 581 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be something. I'd like them to tell us. 582 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: I'll give you this buck. So nineteen people vote. There 583 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: were five different individuals who received votes for Speaker Chip 584 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: Roy Andy Harris, and are these people who voted against? 585 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: But the only one that I'm seeing that I think 586 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: is kind of interesting is and I've seen this floated 587 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: buck the idea of someone coming in who would not 588 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: be a congressman going forward. What if Lee Zelden were 589 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House. You really like this drafting 590 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: and outside person. I just I just wonder. I'm just 591 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: tossing it out there. I think someone who is currently 592 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: a congressman and maybe hard and look, they say they're 593 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: gonna keep going and Kevin McCarthy's not stepping down. But 594 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious how exactly this goes. And Leezel then is 595 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: someone who is not going to be in the caucus 596 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: going forward. Nearly won the governorship of New York well liked, 597 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: I think by many, and it would have I don't 598 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: think you could bring in a total outsider, I guess 599 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. But he would understand how the 600 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: overall apparatus of the House would work. If that makes sense. 601 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: You can't just go draft like we got a call her. 602 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, but hey, Ron de Santist, Donald Trump 603 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: is kind of the fever dream he's going to be 604 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: the speaker. Trump does not want the job, trust me, 605 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: but that is that's kind of floating around out there 606 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: as an idea. We mentioned this also. I wanted to 607 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: just bring this difference attention before New Jersey public schools, 608 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: at least Patterson, New Jersey Public schools are as of today, 609 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: back in school requiring kids to mask play six and 610 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: teachers at Patterson Public Schools we'll have to mask up 611 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: when they go back to class next. The school superintendent 612 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: says it's a precaution as the number of cases of 613 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: covid RSV and the flu continues to rise. No word 614 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: on how long this mask mandate will last. Patterson Public 615 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: Schools reopen January third. Child abuse, That's what this is. 616 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: It's child abuse. Understand this, everybody. They're still doing it. 617 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: They didn't pay enough of a price in the midterms. 618 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: They're still doing it. This was my concern along Clay. 619 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: We also mentioned this Wall Street Journal editorial piece. Yeah, 620 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: I think we can come back to this that asked 621 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: a very provocative question, which is, are these vaccination rounds 622 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: now causing perhaps some challenges trying to say this delicately 623 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: for the immunity of those who get it to the 624 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. So I think we can. I think 625 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: we're allowed to talk about what's to the Wall Street Journal, right, 626 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: not going to get canceled for that. There are a 627 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: lot of studies now that are suggesting the more COVID 628 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: shots you get, the more likely you are to get COVID. 629 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: That's basically the underlying question the Wall Street Journal wrote about. 630 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: We will discuss when we come back. Third Hour also 631 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: second ballot four speaker play Travis and Buck Sexton on 632 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: the front lines of truth.
