We're 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: going to join it for a moment. We'll come right 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: back with analysis here.

These 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: are portable, high high accurate, high accurately high accuracy shoulder 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: mounted missiles that Ukrainian forces have been using with great 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: effect to destroy invading tanks and armored vehicles. It will 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: include seven thousand small arms, machine gun, shotguns, grenade launchers 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: to crypt Ukrainians including the brave women and men who 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: are defending their cities as civilians and they're on the 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: countryside as well, and we're as well as the ammunition, 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: artillery and mortar rounds to go with small arms. Twenty 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: million rounds in total, twenty million rounds. And this will 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: include drones, which demonstrates our commitment to sending our most 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: cutting edge systems to Ukraine for its defense, and we're 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: not doing this alone. Our allies and partners have stepped 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: up to provide significant shipments of security assistance and will 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 1: continue to help facilitate these deliveries as well. The United 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: States and our allies and partners are fully committed to 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: surgery weapons of assistance to the Ukrainians, and more will 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: be coming as we source additional stocks of equipment that 27 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: are that we're ready to transfer now. Now, I want 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, this could be a long 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: and difficult battle, but the American people will be steadfast 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and our support of the people of Ukraine in the 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: face of Putent's and moral unethical attacks on civilian populations. 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Where are united in our abhorrence of Putents, depraved, onslaught, 33 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to have their backs as 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: they fight for their freedom, their democracy. They're very survival 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: and we're going to give Ukraine the arms to fight 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: and defend themselves through all the difficult days ahead. We're 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: going to continue to mobilize humanitarian relief to support people 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: within Ukraine and those have been forced to flee Ukraine, 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: all right, So that's it, and Biden just saying that 40 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: they're going to continue with the material assistance to the 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: people of Ukraine for their fight against Russians. More bullets, missiles, rockets, 42 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: you name it, all of that, plus humanitarian assistance and 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: if we have any parts of this that we want 44 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to well that he is saying they're going to help 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: them get long distance anti aircraft weapons, which will allow 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: them to perhaps create at least a higher flight ceiling 47 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: and further distance, more of a standoff distance for Russian airplanes. 48 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Won't really do very much to stop the Russian missiles 49 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that are fired. But we're giving them a whole lot 50 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: of weapons, folks. That's what's That's the main takeaway here. 51 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: And so now Clay, let's talk because I wanted to 52 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: get into this for for a few moments. I mean, 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: there's really nothing new that Biden is showing is saying 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: here other than we stand with Ukraine. We're sending them 55 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot of weapons and more weapons. Okay, Well that's 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: where we are. If anything else comes out of that, 57 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: we'll let you know fifteen days to slow the spread. 58 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: You know, Clay, I remember this, but I didn't remember 59 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: it as well as I thought. I did. First of all, 60 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: we've talked so much about Fauci, there was doctor Burkes 61 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: who was was, you know, run off into obscurity because 62 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: she did the whole everyone should mask and not see 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: their family members for Thanksgiving. But I mean, I'm gonna 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: go see my family members for Thanksgiving. And at that point, 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: I think, because maybe she was around for the Trump administration, 66 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: she hadn't attached herself enough like a barnacle to the 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: Biden vessel, so she decided to get out of there. 68 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: But I want to remind everybody two years ago, I 69 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: believe to the day today, here is what she said 70 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: about fifteen days to slow the spring. We're asking that 71 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: same sense of community to come together and stand up 72 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: against this virus. And if everybody in America does what 73 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: we ask for over the next fifteen days, we will 74 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: see a dramatic difference, and we won't have to worry 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: about the ventilators, and we won't have to worry about 76 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: the ICU beds because we won't have our elderly and 77 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: our people at the greatest risk having to dehospitalize. Completely wrong. 78 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you just the initial promise year was just 79 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: give us fifteen days. It will just be fifteen days 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: and you'll see a dramatic improvement. The fifteen days turned 81 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: into what how many months before we got a real 82 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean effectively two years, yes, but fifteen days turned 83 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: into two years, and there was no benefit, Clay, no whatsoever, 84 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: no benefit at all. Buck. And do you remember how 85 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: slow all of those days seem Back during March of 86 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, during that fifteen days to slow the spread, 87 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: it felt like March of twenty twenty lasted like ten years. 88 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: And then April two, and then fortunately where I was 89 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: by mid to late April, we were basically back to normal. 90 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: But I remember going to a restaurant and I remember 91 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: having a conversation and by the way, this is still 92 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: a conversation you could have, because they're more COVID cases now, 93 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: even today, than there were in March of twenty twenty 94 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: when we shut down, at least that we know about. 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: And I remember going into a restaurant. The restaurant owner, 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: they're saying, I'm so glad to be opening back up, 97 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: but he said, there's way more cases now when the 98 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: State of Tennessee is opening back up than there were 99 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: when we shut down. And that didn't get talked about 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: enough because what they remember when Fouci used to walk 101 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: out all the time Buck, and he would always make 102 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: his hand and he would say, you know, what we're 103 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: trying to do is avoid a peek and kind of 104 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: spread the plateau out. And he'd always stand there with me. 105 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: He was He was like one of these weather men 106 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: who stands up from the green screams it is. You know, 107 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: if you do what I say, you'll hit a plateau 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: through mitigation. We don't want to see a surge, but 109 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: we could see a drop off if mitigation measures something 110 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: that we all collectively commit to with the droplets. I 111 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: remember all this. He was wrong everything single time. This 112 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: guy was wrong all the time, and lives were obsessed 113 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: with him. Isn't it crazy because I just sent out 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: a tweet about this because that Fauci's nowhere to be 115 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: seen on this two year anniversary. This was the beginning 116 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: of doctor Fauci as the throw pillow, is it? I 117 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: think Gretchen Whitmer Wright Buck, the governor of Michigan, has 118 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: like a Fauci throw pillow. There's all these people who 119 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: are still enamored with Fauci, and what's wild is he's 120 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: gone like where is he. Wouldn't you think on a 121 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: two year anniversary here that there would be some interview 122 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: that he was doing or some retrospective that would be 123 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: talked about the Biden administration. I don't know if you 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: buy into this as much as I do. Buck. I 125 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: think the Biden administration is leaning so hard into the 126 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: Ukraine story because it distracts from all the disasters going 127 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: on with domestic policy. I'm not sure whether it's going 128 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: to impact things in terms of Biden's overall popularity, but 129 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: that story is a far better one to be telling 130 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: than the COVID mess, than the murder rate skyrocketing, than 131 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: inflation at probably double digits by the time we get 132 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: analysis in March, and so they're leaning into this, but 133 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Fauci has just vanished. I mean, it's kind of crazy 134 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: to me that there aren't retrospective stories being done today 135 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: on the two year anniversary of fifteen days to slow 136 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the spread. I think more than anything else, he just 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: has gone beyond his political usefulness expiration date. Well, that's so, 138 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: and so that's why you know he's not even getting 139 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: the invitations. I'm sure this isn't I think everyone needs 140 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: to be clear on this. It's not that Faucci and 141 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: those like him. But Fauci was always really in a 142 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: class by himself, and he was a little meglomaniac. Never 143 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: once showed contrition, never once said, guys, we got this wrong. 144 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: We really need to take the politics out of this. 145 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: This is about getting it right. It was always be scared. 146 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Listen to me. I've got more things to say about 147 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: how you can't live normally. Yet that was every single 148 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: time he somehow managed and this was always the tell, 149 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: This was always the giveaway. He never said anything in 150 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: two years. Not once did he really upset the MSNBC 151 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: watching Brooklyn and Northwest DC crowd that loves all this 152 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: stuff and thought that, oh my gosh, two masks and 153 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: I take it so seriously. The whole thing never upset them. 154 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: They were his constituency. He was really the high priest 155 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: of the or really the pope of a religion that 156 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: he created around COVID. And now he's not even get 157 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: any invitations from CNN. He's not even being asked. I 158 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: can guarantee you to appear to talk in these places, 159 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: because what are they going to say? The vaccine program 160 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: worked so well to stop the spread we hit all 161 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: time highs after a vaccine mandate ripped this country apart, 162 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: after Joe Biden ran around talking about a pandemic of 163 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated and how they were a threat to other people. 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Here's the reality. Their promise that if you got the shot, 165 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: you'd be done was a lie, and in some ways, 166 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: even worse than that, their demand that you get the 167 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: shot or else you're a threat to other people was 168 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: also a lie, because whether you got the shot or not, 169 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: you were spreading it all over the place. It's totally true, 170 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: and you pointed this out. It is so incredible. Not 171 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: once in two years did Fauci ever say this is 172 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: too much. When they went and filled up all of 173 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: the people who liked to skateboard in California, when they 174 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: filled up the skateboard parks with sand. Didn't say it 175 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: was too much. When they put crime scene tape around 176 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: playgrounds for young kids, when they arrested a guy on 177 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: a paddleboard out in the ocean, when they shut down 178 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: every trail and park all over the state of California, 179 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: when they wouldn't allow you to go outside. Never did 180 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: Fauci come out and say, hey, you know what we 181 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: got this wrong. And Marty McCarry, who we talked to 182 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: in the first hour Buck and his piece points out 183 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: how much time did Fauci spend telling people, Hey, you 184 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: need to like lysol all your mail and lysol everything 185 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: that comes into your house when he was continuing to 186 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: spread the idea that COVID was something that was living 187 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: on objects and would spread that way, as opposed to 188 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: all the evidence supporting the fact that it was air 189 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: assault Clay. We were forced to obey the dictates of 190 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: cycle of the psychologically destabilized masses because Anthony Fauci and 191 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: those around him gave a veneer of scientific credibility to 192 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: this when it was obvious that this was absurd. And 193 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: beyond that, there has been a vindictiveness now that you're 194 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: seeing and it certainly is the case here in New 195 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: York City. You know, New York there's still and you asked, 196 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: we've talked to this. I don't even really know what 197 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: the exact efficial to the studio, That's all I was asking, Like, 198 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: if I'm in New York, New York City still has 199 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: an employer vaccine mandate in place, Like no one's going 200 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: out and getting the shot right now, obviously, no one 201 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: released I mean very very very few people. No one 202 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: really care except for the people that are like, I 203 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: want my eighth shot and made another shot, where's my 204 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: next shot? People get all excited about this, like it's 205 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna You know, that doesn't make you superman. You can't 206 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: fly after you get COVID shot number nine. But there 207 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: are people that act like that. But here we are 208 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: in New York City, Clay, they're leaving in place. I mean, 209 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: I think there are two things happening. One is that 210 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: they want if you were living in New York and 211 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: you would managed to get this far, which you wouldn't 212 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: because you wouldn't have been able to go buy grocery. Yeah, 213 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: but if you were living here they and manage to 214 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: go this far without complying with the vaccine mandate. They 215 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: want to continue to punish those people at some level, 216 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: because the employer mandate is the one where they really 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: have the most leverage, So they want to continue to 218 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: agitate and punish people. But beyond that, This is why 219 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: I was asking doctor McCarry about whether there's been a 220 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: real change and sentiment from within the medical community. They're 221 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: leaving in place. The structure of ramping it up again. Yeah, 222 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: they're leaving behind. Okay, we'll leave the employer mandate in 223 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: place as long as we can, and then it will 224 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: come back in the fall. What do you mean, no 225 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: big deal, just like the measles, mumps, Rubella's shot, or 226 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: the flu shot. They're going to say. This is what 227 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: they're going to be telling us, which is why, as 228 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: we've said, it's not over, no doubt. When we come back, 229 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: by the way, we're going to talk to Senator Ron 230 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: Johnson a third hour about all of this and more. 231 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: And tomorrow I believe we're scheduled to speak with ram Paul, 232 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: who is going after doctor Fauci and him being the 233 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: highest pace. I don't think we're talking up about this. 234 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci is highest paid person in the entire federal government. 235 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: I mean, think about how wild that is, buck. I mean, 236 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: he makes millions of federal employees, yes, a couple of 237 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: million of them. He is the single highest paid. Mortgage 238 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: rates continue to remain incredibly low. And while we're seeing 239 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve issue a small rate height today, the 240 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: first since twenty eighteen.

Welcome back a Clay Travis buck 254 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Sexton show Buck I was gonna build. We were talking 255 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: about fifteen days to slow the spread. It's now been 256 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: seven hundred and thirty days since fifteen days to slow 257 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: the spread. You and I are both history guys. Enjoy 258 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: reading about variety of different historical eras. I tend to 259 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: focus on American history. Some of the things you read about, 260 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it all. What is your But 261 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: one of the things that I think is widely underdiscussed 262 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: is the idea that there's a massive discussion. Now, how 263 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: often do you hear Blue Check Brigade members or left 264 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: wing SJW losers talk about being on the right side 265 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: of history? Right, it's a big obsession of theirs. One 266 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: of the things that you learn if you study history 267 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: is history will make you very humble in the idea 268 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: that you know what the future is going to look like. 269 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: So there's probably a strong likelihood history teaches us that's 270 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: something that virtually everybody in the United States is doing 271 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: today will be judged as an awful thing to have 272 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: done two hundred years from now. And so we're now 273 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: two years removed from fifteen days to slow the spread, 274 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: and all the people on social media screaming, you know, 275 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: save the grandmas, put the triple masks on, don't leave 276 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: your houses. I'm even more convinced today than I was then, 277 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: Buck that those people who have been lecturing all of 278 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: us about being on the right side of history are 279 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: clearly now even more so now, on the wrong side 280 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: of history. Are you in the same vein with me 281 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: as you analyze that that it's sometimes hard people have 282 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: this idea that if they were a lot back in 283 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty, you would have been the person saying, hey, 284 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: we have to do whatever is possible to free the slaves, right, 285 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: And a huge percentage of people were opposed to that 286 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty. And so everyone is a product of 287 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: their time. And this idea that you can one hundred 288 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: percent know what the right and wrong side of history 289 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: is is one of the great fallacies I believe that 290 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: has come to exist in our modern era with social media. Well, 291 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: mass mass movements, and as we've seen, mass delusions do 292 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: not allow for complexity. And so one of the problems 293 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: we had all along with fifteen days to slow the 294 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: spread and all this, was the belief that there's an 295 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: expert class. And this always goes to left wing collectivism 296 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: and their mindset about everything. Really there's an expert and 297 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: the communists also believe this. I'm just going to say 298 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: the communists believed in a revolutionary vanguard that would be 299 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: the ones to institute the reforms necessary to bring about 300 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: a utopian society. But they needed effectively unlimited power to 301 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: do so, to transform society from you know, capitalism to socialism, communism, 302 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: and well, we saw were people that wanted to believe 303 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: but there there was a priesthood Fauci, Wolensky, Burks, etc. 304 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 1: Who could give them all the answers if only they 305 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: would listen to them. The people who believe there are 306 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: government figures with all the answers are always wrong. They're 307 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: always going to be wrong. The people believe the government 308 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: should be able to do whatever it wants to you 309 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: because it knows best are wrong, which segues into we 310 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: need to really tee off on Mitt Romney. I mean 311 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: what he did, and we've got time fortunately in the 312 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: show to tee off on it. What he did and 313 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: what he said in order to justify his decision to 314 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: vote against ending the federal mask man for travel is 315 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: infuriating that anyone could still be making that argument. It 316 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: is absolutely indiffens Every family has that self appointed family photographer. 317 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: You know that, right, the guy who are girl shows 318 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: up with the better camera.

I haven't 349 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: even looked hardly at the schedules yet, but I'm sure 350 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be several monster games down in the grow 351 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: and producer Mark is quietly talking some smack behind the 352 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: scenes about because it's really a joint effort on the 353 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: bracket here. Just gonna throw that out there. It's kind 354 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: of like when an author puts his name on the 355 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: book and then there's the little the little name of 356 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: the other author below, you know, with or and usually 357 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: that name is the guy who actually wrote the book, 358 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: just so everybody knows. But you and uh, you know, 359 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: I do a Fox FS one gambling show and we're 360 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: on every day this week basically getting ready for the 361 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. And you and Sal, who is one of 362 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: the other experts, both picked Villanova. So you picked the 363 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: same team as as Sal I mean, does a smart 364 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: man go against Buck and Sal? I don't know. I'm 365 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: just gonna I'm just gonna put that out there. Sal 366 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: sounds like a savvy, savvy character to me. I had 367 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: my kids filling out the brackets this morning when I 368 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: left to come to the studio down here in Florida, 369 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: and they were super excited to old school bracket style, 370 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: like filling them out print as opposed to filling them 371 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: out digitally, which is obviously a big part of this 372 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: as well. Brittany in Raleigh, North Carolina, fired up about 373 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: equal pay for women's stuff. What's up, Brittany, I've listening 374 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: to you, you know, play one of those typical DP 375 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Harris clips, and I get a little frustrated when people 376 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: want to talk about the equal pay and actually with COVID, 377 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: how we keep hearing this line about how COVID was 378 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: actually really bad for women because we all left the 379 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: workforce to come home and take care of our kids, 380 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: and so the fix is childcare. And I actually think 381 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: what COVID did is it reminded parents that they want 382 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: to take care of their own kids. Sorry, I'm doing 383 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: laundry running up and down the stairs. Um so parents 384 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: want to be taking care of their own kids. And 385 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: we got to do that during COVID, and then with 386 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: everything we saw that our kids were seeing and hearing 387 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: and experiencing while we're busy working, we decided, you know, 388 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think I was going to outsource 389 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: that any Brittany, how many kids? How many kids do 390 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: you have? I have four? What ages are they? And 391 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: three to eleven? Oh my god, so you're in the weeds. 392 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, and Brittany, I mean you'll agree. 393 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: So when we had our third kid, my wife was 394 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: able to stay home and didn't have to continue to work. 395 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: She was a guidance counselor at schools. She quit working 396 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: a little bit before that third kid and was able 397 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: to stay home with our two youngest. And I'll tell 398 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you this, our life got a billion percent better. And 399 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: I do think, Brittany, there is some of that. A 400 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: lot of parents out there recognized, Okay, we're a dual 401 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: income family, but what are we spending on childcare? What 402 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: are we losing by not being with the kids ourselves? 403 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of women recognized that maybe 404 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: trying to reach for that brass ring didn't make sense 405 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: when you might feel more fulfilled and happy being home 406 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: with your kids, especially when they're young, before they get 407 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: into that you know, kindergarten school age. You hear other 408 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: women talking about that, Brittany, I do. And I actually 409 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: just had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with 410 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: There were four of us in the conversation who all 411 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: had a different number of children, and we all work 412 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: or don't work a different amount or you know, intensity 413 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: of jobs from very far the time to want as 414 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: a stay at home homeschooling mom, and we all agreed 415 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: that actually, what we would like, what our families would like, 416 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: what our husbands and I would like, is a tax 417 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: code that doesn't burden us so dramatically as middle class 418 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: families that both parents have to be working. We would 419 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: like inflation to be under control so that we can 420 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: pay the bills and we do have money for the 421 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: kids to do some connectivities, you know, for us to 422 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: take a vacation, you know, once a year, and it 423 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: not have to require that both parents work for that. 424 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: And that gets so lost in so much of the 425 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: national conversation that just thinks, well, let's just let's just 426 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: provide more daycare, more childcare, more daycare, free preschool, Let's 427 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: separate kids from their parents more, and that'll fix it. 428 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: And that's not actually what families want. Families want to 429 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: be together. And I think a lot of families are 430 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: frustrated that they don't even have the opportunity to have 431 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: a conversation in their home about whether or not they 432 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: like to be a single income family because it's less 433 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: and less attainable. This is such a I mean, I 434 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: think there are so many families. Bernie, thank you for 435 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: the call. I can only speak. We were spending so 436 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: much on childcare that my wife was basically making her 437 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: income and then it was going back out the door 438 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: for childcare. Buck. And you know, it turns out that 439 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: people who are older than you, some of them have 440 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: some pretty good ideas and the idea of having And 441 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: by the way, it can be a woman who's working, 442 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: man can stay home whatever the situation might be. But 443 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: having one parent who is able to focus one hundred 444 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: percent on the kids and another parent who is working 445 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: outside of the home or working full time is actually 446 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: our life got a billion percent better when my wife 447 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: was able to quit working and stay home with our 448 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: kids and I was still working now I know that 449 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: that can be financially struggle for many people. But like 450 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: we did the math on it back in the day 451 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: when my kids were super young and we were spending 452 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: just as much on childcare as my wife was making 453 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: as a guidance counselor at a public high school. And 454 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: I just I think there are a lot of people. 455 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: I think Britney's call is right buck. There are a 456 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: lot of people who question many of their life choices 457 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: during this COVID mess and have made significant life at YEA. 458 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: One of the only upsides of it, I think was 459 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: that there was so much more time spent in the 460 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: home for a lot of people together. And we do 461 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: get very used to this commute, rush to the cubicle, 462 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: get home as fast as you can after maybe you've 463 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: put in those overtime hours lifestyle. It doesn't actually have 464 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: to be that way. Remote work I think will help 465 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways too many just because I 466 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: some people don't mind it. I hate commuting. I think 467 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: commuting is like being stuck in a penal colony or 468 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: I have all day. Yes, absolutely hate it. So for 469 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, for some folks they like to listen to 470 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: I don't know a fantastic radio show when they commute. 471 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: So that's fine, but people should have should have flexibility 472 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: and how they schedule their days. And you know, there's 473 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: something really that the Jordan Peterson often hits on. I'll 474 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: paraphrase him. You guys all know Jordan Peterson. We had 475 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: them on a little while ago. Says, your life is 476 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: not pushing as hard as you can to get to 477 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: that vacation on the beach with that delicious margarita. That's 478 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: a break in your life. Your life is how do 479 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: your children greet you when you come home from work? 480 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: How does your wife greet you or your husband greet 481 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: you when you leave in the morning, whether to go 482 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: get groceries or to go to your job or whatever 483 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: the case may be. How do you sleep at night? 484 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: How do you get along with the people you spend 485 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: your time with? And so I think COVID made a 486 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: lot of people think about that, you know, struggling and 487 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: putting it all into hitting VP by the time you're forty. 488 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: Some people fine, but a lot of people realize there's 489 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: other stuff out there. But Clake, I didn't even see this. 490 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: I was looking for an equal payday thing. I was 491 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: doing a quick Google search for US saw a new story. 492 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: You need to talk about it. Women of the Year, 493 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: one of the women, one of the women of the 494 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: year according to USA Today spoiler alert, not a woman. 495 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: And I think we have a conversation about this. I 496 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: think we're gonna need to dive into this one. I 497 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: know it's just Usday today, but that is one of 498 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: the biggest newspapers in the country by circulation. Unfortunately, let's 499 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: talk about it one hundred percent when we get back, 500 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: we will. In the meantime, on nine to eleven, we've 501 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: lost two nine hundred and seventy seven people killed in 502 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: a terror attack on American soil.

Close off the second hour of the 521 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of the program. There and this is a 522 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: big deal. We just talked with Brittany, and I thought 523 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: Britney's call was fantastic. Many of you loved it as 524 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: well as many of you used COVID to make your 525 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: own life choices and maybe change some of the decisions 526 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: that you thought were important to you. But this got 527 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: my own wife super fired up. The idea that you 528 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: could be a transgender woman, right, that you could be 529 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: born a man and then you end up in a 530 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: position where you decide to become a woman, and then 531 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: you get named as the woman of the Year or 532 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: one of them. This is from USA Today. They have 533 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: named Rachel Levine one of USA Today's Women of the Year. Uh. 534 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: This is part of their Women of the Century project. 535 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: And it is Admiral Rachel Levine. Who is What is 536 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: her official title buck in the Biden administration, Well, I 537 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: believe it would be his official title. Yes, his official 538 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: title would be I can't even keep up anymore Health 539 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: in the Human Service Services head of the US Public 540 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: Healthcary for Health for the US Department of Health and 541 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Human Services, and the head of the US Public Health 542 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: Service Commissioned Corps. This is just such a By the way, 543 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: we've got the swimmer from Upen this week is competing 544 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: to try to become the greatest women swimmer of all time. 545 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: The man. Yeah, and I just for if you're a 546 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: one and you are offensive, Yeah, not offensive claim. My 547 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: wife says that it is not a woman getting a 548 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: woman's or award. I mean, at what point do people. 549 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: First of all, the fact that feminists go along with 550 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: this just goes to show you that they are bitter Marxists. 551 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: They don't actually stand for women. They just want power 552 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: and they want some way to explain why they're so 553 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: unhappy with their life choices. Uh. And with this they 554 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: just go along with the hive mind of the left, 555 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: which is essentially erasing women. I mean, I would see 556 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: our friends over the Daily Wire, Matt Walsh among them, 557 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: will say all he wants is for the for the 558 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: left to define what a woman is. Yes, and they 559 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: get furious. And it's because they refuse to define what 560 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: a woman is. Here's what the point that I just 561 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: keep making, and I would encourage everybody else out there 562 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: to make it. You remember Buck, Rachel dolis All, the 563 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: woman who is white that became the head of the NAAC. 564 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: This created a discussion about trans racial transrac Yeah right, 565 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: it was, according to left wingers, super racist and unacceptable 566 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: for a white woman to identify as a black woman. Unacceptable, 567 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: absolutely absurdly racist. We were told in order for Rachel 568 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: dolas All to make that choice. Yet, for everybody out 569 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: there listening, if you had to change your gender or 570 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: change your race, which do you think would be a 571 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: more substantial alteration in your life? And how is it 572 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: that changing your gender is heroic yet changing your race 573 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: is super racist? Nobody can ever explain to me how 574 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: that dichotomy exists because it seems to me that changing 575 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: your race, if we're going to argue that it's brave 576 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: and courageous and worthy of popular acclaim, it seems to 577 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: me that the standard you apply I should be the same. 578 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's also Sean King, of course, who this 579 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: is from the Daily Beast. Here's the headline. Quote the 580 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: mother of Tamir Rice called Sean King, quote a white 581 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: man acting black and quote Sean King was a BLM. 582 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: Is he still superactive on social mediast? He was. I 583 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: don't know if he is anymore. But he was also 584 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: someone who well, you know, it appeared to be a 585 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: white guy pretending to be black. The claim was that 586 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: he made is that later on in life his mother 587 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: told him that his father was a very light skinned 588 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: black man. But I mean this also raises the whole 589 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: you know, the conversation about gender is a very straightforward 590 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: biological reality. And anyone who wants to do what about 591 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: intersect conversation, I say, great, let's have that conversation. There's 592 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: usually one dominant structure family show and that's what they go. 593 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: But that's not what transgenderism is about. Transgender individuals are 594 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: not intersects biologically, they are emotionally and psychologically transgender. It 595 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: is not a physical manifestation. Put that aside for a second, though, 596 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: race is actually anyone who's done twenty three in me, 597 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, race can be a much more complicated and 598 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: multi variable thing than gender, to be sure, right, you 599 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: could have a you know, a mother who is biracial 600 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: and a father who's biracial, and then you know, what 601 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: do you identify as at that point and what is 602 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: your you know, it's a much more interesting and nuanced discussion. 603 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: But because of identity politics, they pretend that it's actually 604 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: black and white. To borrow a phrase that data reflects 605 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: from that twenty three in me that around twenty five 606 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: percent of all black and I'm putting black in quotation 607 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: marks DNA is actually European, and that nearly fifty percent 608 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: of much of Hispanic DNA, and a Hispanic as in 609 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: quotation marks again is often European as well. So this 610 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: idea that race is a clear cut delionation and that 611 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: there's a massive difference is oftentimes not true for anyone 612 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: who has gone out and gotten their DNA analyzed to 613 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: see where your lineage may have arisen. I had a 614 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: roommate in college who he would always make jokes about 615 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: this that he he would say that he could pass 616 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: for any number of and he could. I mean he 617 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: had I think he had a father. He was kind 618 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: of you know, part part Jewish, part Asian, part part Latino. 619 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: I mean, he had all these things. And you could 620 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: see this guy and say, what if someone said, what 621 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: is his race? Yeah, it would be you know, you say, 622 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole bunch of things going on 623 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: here we could talk about. You know, it isn't this wonderful? 624 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: All one human race is the actual conclusion here. But 625 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: on gender, every woman in the locker room with that 626 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,959 Speaker 1: swimmer at U Penn knows that that's a guy. Yes, 627 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: that's right. And for anyone out there who was listening 628 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: to us right now, if you had to make the 629 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 1: decision if you're going to change your race or your gender, 630 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: which one do you think would be more substantially altering 631 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: of your life? You mentioned somebody who's got a large 632 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: number of different racial background Tiger Woods. Remember, he famously 633 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: called himself the cabalin Asian because he had all these 634 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: different ethnic backgrounds all rolled into him. One of the 635 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: greatest golfers in the history of the world. It would 636 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,439 Speaker 1: be far easier for the vast majority of people out 637 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: there to decide to identify as a different race than 638 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: it would be to decide to change your gender. Yet again, 639 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: and this is one of those things where when you 640 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: push left wingers on this, I've never heard a good example, 641 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: a good argument of why changing your gender isn't far 642 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: more significant than changing your race, and why they're treated 643 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: so inherently differently. And I mean, also, it's clear that 644 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: there's identity politics at work in this in terms of 645 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: the narrative. I mean, for example, and people will say, 646 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: I mean, o, Kamala Harris. They'll say, the first black 647 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: female vice president. Fine, you much less frequently hear though, 648 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,439 Speaker 1: she's also the first South Asian that's right, female vice 649 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: And I think it's worth asking, I mean, why do 650 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: we hear that? Not matter? Yeah, No, it's it's an 651 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: interesting point, and I think it's emblematic of the upside 652 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: down world we live in where USA today is naming 653 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: this man as one of the women of the Year. 654 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: It's very very strange. Major media organizations are literally naming 655 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: men as women of the year. This is what this 656 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: is what woke. This is in twenty twenty two everybody. 657 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: If you wanted an encapsulation of it, there you have it. 658 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: And the greatest swimmer in college history could be a 659 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: man this week with what's going on at the UPEN 660 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: Swimming Championships down at Georgia attack. But there is some 661 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: good news about parents who don't want their kids being 662 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: taught gender identity at age five. Play is going to 663 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: break it down for you minutes slat Travis and Buck 664 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: Sexton on the lines of truth. M
