Always forget how close Las Vegas is 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles until you're on the plane for that 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: almost fifth hour and you're like, wow, it's been a while. 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: Clay in Houston, Texas, we already had our friend Michael 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: Barry joining us, great Houston, Texas based radio host, and 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: they have another friend of ours who used joining Later 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: on this hour, we're going to dive into the fiery 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: back and forth up on Capitol Hill that's been going 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: on today with the Attorney General Merrick Garland, the guy 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: who put out that memo that was a shot across 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: the bow of concerned parents. That's right, the parental insurrectionist, 16 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: because they don't want their kids learning CRT and being 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: being forced to endure and go through all kinds of 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: left wing indoctrination, the transgender mathroom policy, the rest of it. 19 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: We do have a quick news update though, before we 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: get into that, from a man Clay Travis, about what 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: happened to the wealth tax, Clay looks like maybe something's 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: not happening. Yeah, So we were just talking about how 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: insanely dumb the idea of a billionaire specific tax was 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: and is. And in the last fifteen minutes, news has 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: broken that Senator Joe Mansion of West Virginia, who seems 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: to be one of the few Democrats still possessing a 27 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: functional brain, also said the billionaire tax doesn't make sense, 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: and that means the billionaire tax is all but dead. 29 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 1: This is according to Jake Sherman, who just put this out. 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: And what does that mean in the big picture. It 31 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: means that given that Kirsten Cinema has said she won't 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: support tax increases on the rates, and given that now 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion is a pose to a billionaires tax, the 34 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: odds of any sort of budget reconciliation agreement before Joe 35 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: Biden leaves tomorrow morning for Europe, which is the deadline 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: he put in place, seemed to be fairly low at 37 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: this point in time. And that means it could drag, 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: which I think is going to terrify Democrats into next week, 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: which would mean that Tuesday election if Glenn Young Cain 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: were to beat Terry mccauliffe, everything may collapse. By the way, 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Mansion saying he can't in good conscience agree to increase 42 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: the deficit, which is already at twenty nine trillion dollars. 43 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: He seems to want this thing to drag on. Remember 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: he argued for a strategic pause in the Wall Street Journal. 45 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: So that is the absolute latest on this massive tax 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: spend plan by Joe Biden. And I told you, Clay, 47 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: when I was out in Vegas with my friends from 48 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Stansbury Research at their conference, the number one issue of 49 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: concern I'm across the board was inflation and just how 50 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: destructive it is and what it does. And remember inflation 51 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily hurt people with a lot of assets. The 52 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: stock markets super high right now, but looking at the 53 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: actual economic impact on the American people and the long 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: term impact inflation their biggest concern that I was hearing 55 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: across the board. But it's interest because Mansion says no 56 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: billionaire's tax. Earlier today, he did say this in the 57 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: morning on the taxes. First of all, I said this, 58 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: everybody in this country that has been blessed and prospered 59 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: should pay a patriotic tax. If you're to the point 60 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: to where you're able to use all of the tax 61 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: forms if you can to your advantage, and you end 62 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: up with a zero tax liability, but have had a 63 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: very very good life and you had to be a 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities. There should be a fifteen percent patriotic tax. 65 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: That's me speaking as I'm not speaking for anybody else, 66 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: people in the stratosphere, rather than trying to penalize and 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: we have to be this country is able to produce 68 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: the wealth. But with that there's a patriotic duty that 69 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: you should be paying something to this great country to 70 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: give you the protection and the support and the opportunities. 71 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: That's called a patriot and it's never gonna happen, Clay, 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: So this is another thing that we're going to talk about. 73 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: I would love for there to be a flat tax. 74 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: I spoke to Ted Cruz when he was running for 75 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: president some years ago. He was talking about abolishing the 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: irs and having a flat tax. Right, that would make 77 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Never gonna happen to the current 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: political climate. Yeah, and look, I think what Mansion is 79 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: going to end up doing there is there is talk 80 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: of an agreement of a fifteen percent minimum tax rate 81 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: on corporations that sometimes evade paying their full share of taxes. 82 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: Now all the accountants and all the tax experts can 83 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: explain how that comes to pass, because there are all 84 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: different sorts of complications that are far too nuanced for 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: most of us to even understand unless we have effectively 86 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: a PhD and taxation. But it is significant, big picture, 87 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: and I understand a lot of people out there say, hey, 88 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't care on a day to day basis what's 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: going on in Washington, DC. What is significant here is 90 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: the Biden budget, which is basically now the focal point 91 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: of his entire presidency, and that he put a deadline 92 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: of wanting resolved before he left for a six day 93 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: trip to Europe. It seems, at least right now highly 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: unlikely as we sit here on Wednesday, that this is 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: going to be solved by tomorrow morning, which would mean 96 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: it drags into the election days in New Jersey and 97 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: in Virginia, and that Virginia in particular could strike a 98 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: big blow against the Biden agenda because buck, if Glenn 99 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Young can wins, then there's not going to be more 100 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: Democrats saying, hey, you know what we definitely need to 101 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: do tax and spend the even more. They're going to 102 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: be of the belief that the Biden agenda is even 103 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: more under assault, so that significance of that Virginia race 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: becomes even more paramount. The whole game the Democrats play 105 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: is the pretense and again Bastiat the law, the belief 106 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: that you can live at the expense of every other man, 107 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: that this will always be paid for by someone else, 108 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: that the Binding agenda will be free, that they are 109 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: effectively the federal government equivalent of Santa Claus, and the 110 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Republicans are the grinch. No, this only works until people 111 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: start to feel why this doesn't work. And that is 112 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: what inflation is. That is what these intrusions into money, 113 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: intrusions in the markets, and these monetary policies result in. 114 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: And this is going to hurt. This is going to 115 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: get worse. It's going to continue to twenty twenty two. 116 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: They know that we also have the Merrick Garland back 117 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: and forth on Capitol Hill. Right now as I speak 118 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: to you, Senator Ted Cruz is hammering Attorney General Merrick 119 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: Garland and pressing him to withdraw that memo that he 120 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: put out. Wanted to play for you. This was a 121 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: highlight from just a few moments ago, Ted Cruz going 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: at Biden's Attorney General. Your son in law makes a 123 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: very substantial sum of money from a company involved in 124 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: the teaching of critical race theory. Did you seek and 125 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: receive a decision from an ethics advisor the Department of 126 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Justice before you've carried out an action that would have 127 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: a predictable financial benefit to your son in law. This 128 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: memorandum is aimed at violence and threats. I just asked 129 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: a question, did you think predictable? Did you seek an 130 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: ethics opinion? It has no Did you seek an ethics opinion? Judge, 131 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: you know how to ask questions and answer them. Did 132 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: you seek an ethics opinion? You asked me whether I 133 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: sawt an ethics opinion about something that would have a 134 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: predictable effect on something. This has no predictable effect in 135 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: the way that you're talking about. So, if critical race 136 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: theory is taught in more schools, does your son in 137 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: law make more money? Has nothing. If critical race theory 138 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: is taught in more schools, does your son in law 139 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: make more money? Yes? Or no? This memorandum has nothing 140 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: to do with critical race Will you answered kind of curriculum. 141 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Will you answer if you saw it? I am answering 142 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the best I can. I love it. I mean Ted 143 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Cruz this you know Ted's I like the Cenator from 144 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Texas when he gets and fuego, you better watch out. 145 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: And this is one of those moments where he he 146 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: knows what is this? The attorney general who puts out 147 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: this bizarre memo that he's now Ted Crews asked him 148 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: to withdraw it. His son is involved in an education 149 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: consortium of sorts that teaches CRT in schools, you know, 150 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: part of this diversity and inclusion apparatus Clay where people 151 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: get paid Ted grand to show up and tell some 152 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: kids they're oppressed and other kids they're oppressors. That is 153 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: a fantastic Did you hear Merrick Garland quivering? I mean 154 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: you could basically hear his voice quivering as he got 155 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: quizzed there. And this is what we need, right We 156 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: need aggressive questioning of people in positions of power at 157 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: what they're underlying motives might be. Now I think Merrick 158 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: Garland blew it. And we're going to play for you 159 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: another clip when we come back in this next segment, 160 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: analyzing what exactly is going on as it pertains to 161 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: that memo that you're referencing for the Department of Justice. 162 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: But Merritt Garland, I think what you said is significant. Buck. 163 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: He was sold to us as a very moderate choice 164 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: for both the Supreme Court and the Attorney General. And 165 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: what has happened, I believe, unfortunately, is we are seeing 166 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: this guy has no backbone, and he is terrified of 167 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: the woke elements of his own party turning on him. 168 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: And so when he has an option to pick a rational, 169 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: reasonable adult choice, which would be saying to people, hey, 170 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI don't need to 171 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: be involved in contentious local school board elections, he made 172 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: the opposite decision. He knows that constitutionally there's no basis 173 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: for the letter that he wrote. It was entirely politics based. 174 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: And he is getting lit up justifiably for that decision. 175 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: And I love to see it, and I hope maybe 176 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: this will help him have a little bit more steely spine. 177 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: But based on the way the way he was collapsing 178 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: under that questioning from Ted Cruz, I ain't too confident 179 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: this guy's got a spine to stand up for anything. 180 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: Right now, Buck, come back into more of this in 181 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: a moment with the fiery exchanges on Capitol Hill with 182 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: the Attorney General plus il Han Omar thinks cops aren't 183 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: doing a good enough job and that's the problem. But 184 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: that's so weird because defund the police would make you 185 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: think that we didn't even need cops. That's what the 186 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: Left was pretending for a while, insane as it was. 187 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: We'll dive into that in a little bit. Bess discovering 188 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: the past couple of months, the gear I'm now wearing 189 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: from Tommy John, I mean, this is so comfortable.

There is an absolute 212 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: flaying going on on Capitol Hill right now with Merrick 213 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: Garland getting destroyed over the memo the Department of Justice 214 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: was involved in, the FBI was involved in saying that 215 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: they needed to be investigating parents based on the statements 216 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: that they were making at school boards. And that is 217 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: an absolute incredible fireworks display. As Merrick Garland, like I said, 218 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: just getting fulayed. I want to play a couple of 219 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: these different cuts. We just let you hear Ted Cruz 220 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: going after Attorney General Merrick Garland. I want you to 221 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: hear Senator Corynan, who I just mispronounced his name a 222 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: little bit, also from Texas, going after Merrick Garland on 223 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill this morning. Let's play cut twenty four. Can 224 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: you imagine the sort of intimidation, the sort of bullying 225 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: impact that a memorandum from the Department of Justice would have, 226 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: and how that would chill the willingness of parents to 227 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: exercise or rights under threat of federal prosecution. The only 228 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: thing this memorandum is about is violence and threats of violence. 229 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: And you consider the chilling effect your memorandum might have 230 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: on parents exercising their constitutional rights. I think you can 231 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: answer that yes or no. I don't believe it's reasonable 232 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: to read this memorandum is chilling anyone's rights. It's about 233 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: threats of violence. It's an arising tide of threats of violence. 234 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: That's the reason that we've responded as quickly as we did. 235 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: He's quivering during this testimony book. He knows that there's 236 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: no way to explain this and make people who are 237 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: being honest think anything other than this was essentially nice 238 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: free speech. You got their parents be a shamed if 239 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: something happened to it. I mean, what is even talking 240 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: to these these threats against parents. First of all, I 241 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: think a school board member recently attacked a parent at 242 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: one of these meetings. So just keep that in mind. 243 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: You can go both ways, and any violence or threats 244 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: of violence that would happen at any local meeting or council, 245 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: city council, you know, the voting for dogcatcher doesn't matter. 246 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: That can be handled by local law enforcement. The Attorney 247 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: General's Office put this out why because they got pressured 248 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: by some left wing activists that obviously have some hooks 249 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: into the Biden administration to make parents think twice about 250 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: showing up and not just speaking, but videotaping and having 251 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: things go viral and show what a bunch off, feckless 252 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: little COMMI bureaucrats are actually running a lot of these 253 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: school systems across the country. They want to shut this 254 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: down play the Democrats. Remember the Tea Party movement and 255 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: what it did in the second year of the Obama administration, 256 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: and it was a game changer. This parental revolution of 257 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: concern has the same kinds of political implications if it 258 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: continue to move the way that it is right now. 259 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: And this was to anybody who's looking at it honestly 260 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: and effort to chill this kind of like when Lois 261 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Learners started doing special audits and slow downs of Tea 262 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: party groups going into the twenty twelve election. I might add, 263 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: let's also not forget that Garland claimed he didn't know 264 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: anything about the cover up of a Loudon County rape 265 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: that we've been talking about. Where Loudon County is ground 266 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: zero in Virginia not only for the governatorial election, but 267 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: also for this larger school board uprising as parents are frustrated, 268 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: fed up with what they are seeing from their local 269 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: school board. Here is Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton ripping Merrick 270 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: Garland over the Loudon County issue. Listen to that first, 271 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: Scott Smith, whose fifteen year old daughter was raped. She 272 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: was raped in a bathroom by a boy wearing girls clothes, 273 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: and the Loudon County school board covered it up because 274 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: it would have interfered with their transgendered policy during Pride Month. 275 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: And that man Scott Smith, because he went to a 276 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: school board and tried to defend his daughter's rights. Was 277 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: condemned internationally. Do you apologize to Scott Smith and his 278 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: fifteen year old daughter, Judge, Senator, anyone whose child was 279 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: raped as as a most horrific crime I can imagine 280 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: and is certainly entitled and protected by the First Amendment 281 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: to protest to their school board about that. But he 282 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: was cited by the School Board Association's domestic terrorist which 283 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: we now know that letter and those reports were the 284 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: basis for you. This is Saul, Judge, this is shameful. 285 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: That's here, this testimony, your directive, your performance is shameful. 286 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: That's not thank god you are not on the Supreme Court. 287 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: You should resign and disgrace. Judge. Wow, he's like he's 288 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: dunking on him. I've been the ball stealing it back 289 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: and dunking on him again. I mean, you know that 290 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: cut deep when he said thank god you aren't on 291 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and then he follows it up by 292 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: saying you need to resign and disgrace. And you know 293 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: what I think, Merrick Garland. Now we know nobody in 294 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: the Biden administration is actually going to suffer consequences because 295 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: nothing happened to anybody in Afghanistan with the god awful 296 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: performance there. But Merrick Garland really should have to resign 297 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: over that letter about school boards. I mean, it is 298 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: such an unconstitutional abrogation of his responsibilities and it's it's 299 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: it's so unacceptable that I can't believe that he did it, 300 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: and I can't believe there's not going to be any 301 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: sort of significant consequence for his job. Eric Holder didn't 302 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: resign over fast and furious. You can be assured this 303 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: Democrat ag isn't going to resign over this one. But 304 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. We should.

It turns out when the Democrat 326 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: Party undermines police and embraces a narrative of defunding cops 327 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: across the country, bad things happen. We've established that, we've 328 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: seen the numbers, we know the data. Biggest increase in 329 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: homicides really since they've tracked homicides at a national level 330 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: in this country. In the last eighteen months, there's been 331 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: a disaster for dozens of cities across the country. And 332 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: it was all entirely predictable. Welcome back the clan Buck Show, 333 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: by the way, but this was all entirely predictable In fact, 334 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: we predicted it here, We talked about it as it 335 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: was happening and continues to occur. And now some Democrats 336 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: have realized we got a real problem because there are 337 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: elections that are becoming that are going to be coming 338 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: up here. We've seen what exactly did the rise of 339 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: the BLM movement accomplish. What did all those protests and yes, 340 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: the many, many riots that rocked the country in an 341 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: election year leading up to the preparation for mass riots 342 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden did not win, remember that, remember the 343 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: storefronts that we're all battened down and ready for what 344 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: looked like a hurricane, but it was just going to 345 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: be upset Democrats in case Joe Biden loss turns out, Well, 346 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: that didn't end up happening. We all know that. Why. 347 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: But Ilhan Omar's up in Minneapolis is you know, a 348 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: member of the squad, and she was very vocal and 349 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: defund police. We play those defund the police montages and Democrats. 350 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: You'll often hear Omar's voice. You'll hear Alexandriocazio Cortesi. Here, 351 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: a number of left wing Democrats and other Democrats that 352 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: pretend to be more centrist but they panned her, and 353 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: they run scared from the first moment of any push 354 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: from the left. And Minneapolis is having a record breaking 355 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: year for crime, had its I believe, worst year ever 356 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: for homicides last year, and is on track to have 357 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: another terrible one this year. And il Han Omar wants 358 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: you to know the problem is the police force to 359 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: not fulfill their both fox and to provide the public 360 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: safety there old to the citizens se department is the 361 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: most dysfunctional police department in our country. Clay elan Omar 362 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: was in support vocally in support of a measure to 363 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: replace the entire Minneapolis Police department, and now she's complaining 364 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: that they're not doing, you know, the best jobs they've 365 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: ever done. They're not able to do the jobs they're 366 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: supposed to do without the backing of political leadership. If 367 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: the media did its job, Buck, this would be one 368 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: of the top stories in the country because defund the police, 369 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: as we told you it would be, is the dumbest 370 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: single political idea of twenty first century and one of 371 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: the dumbest political ideas of most of our lives. We 372 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: knew exactly what was going to happen, Buck a while back, 373 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: I'd encourage people would go track it down and listen 374 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: to it. On the podcast, we had Heather McDonald on 375 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: sharing all the data about policing all over this country. 376 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: And for an elected official like elon Omar, who advocated 377 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: for police to basically be stripped of all of their 378 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: powers and all of their responsibilities, to then in less 379 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: than a year come back and argue police aren't doing 380 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: their job and blame them for the overall increase of 381 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: crime is a level of hypocritical lying, duplicity that is 382 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: even off the charts for politicians whose lying and prevarication 383 00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: is a regular staple of their jobs. Even among why politicians. 384 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: They look at elon Omar and they say to themselves, 385 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: my goodness, she is one of the elite liars in 386 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: all of American political history. And for her to even 387 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: have the gumption to make this argument is a testament 388 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: to how little she is afraid of anyone in the 389 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: media actually holding her accountable. Right, I mean, this should 390 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: be if we had a fair and impartial media. This 391 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: is a layup. You talked about Garland getting dunked on 392 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: by Tom Cotton. This is a violent, greatest dunk in 393 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: the history of the game opportunity to erase someone in 394 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: the political sphere over their stupidity and their duplicity and 395 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: over their behavior that has directly led, unfortunately, to thousands 396 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: of people being dead because of violent crime that would 397 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: have otherwise been alive if politicians have not gotten involved 398 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: in the defund the police movement. She led this, and 399 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: now she's blaming police for the procedures and protocols she 400 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: put in place that led directly to this outcome. It's shameful. 401 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: If we had an honest media, they would ask they 402 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: would find every person, if accountability and if holding the 403 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: mirror up to those in positions of authority, if speaking 404 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: truth to power was really what the national political media 405 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: or just the national news media in general, was focused 406 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: on and took as their real mission, they would find 407 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: every Democrat because it was there was not a single Republican. 408 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: Isn't this amazing? This is endemic within the Democrat party. 409 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: This does not exist within the Republican party. Not a 410 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: single Republican saying defund the police. Some were saying police reform, 411 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: and I back in June twenty twenty was saying, ah, 412 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: don't start playing that game, then they're gonna start pulling 413 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: down the statues and telling you got to beg forgiveness 414 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: for this and that the other thing. Don't start doing. 415 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: But Clay, this is a Democrat issue, and so if 416 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: we had an honest media, they would track down every 417 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: single and it's I mean, it's might I say track down. 418 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: Go up to them during one of the daily interactions 419 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: that they have on Capitol Hill or in other places 420 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: where the press corps is covering a particular politician across 421 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: the country and you know, the governor's mansion, the state House. 422 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: Anybody who was saying defund the police, they should be 423 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: approached by a journalist who's honest, and that doesn't really 424 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: exist very much. There are a few, and they would 425 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: say the following, have you changed your mind on this? 426 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: Was this a reckless idea to push? Is defunding responsible 427 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: at least in part for not just a rise in 428 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: crime as a general issue, but a rise in murders 429 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: and homicides in major cities in particular across the country. 430 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: Watch them squirm if they are ever asked those questions, 431 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: or just divert or talk about you know, oh but 432 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: systemic racism, or oh but you know whatever. Trump January 433 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: sixth the insurrection, Dick Cheney, Haliburton. They'll just say something 434 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: to get away from what should be massive accountability here 435 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: and the loss of power that comes from the people 436 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: rising up and saying what was done here was disgraceful. 437 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: People that were saying defund the police, it goes beyond 438 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: I disagree with them. It was shameful for politicians to 439 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: say this, and it was shameful for news outlets to 440 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: amplify it uncritically, all because Orange man bad. You have 441 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: to be Trump. Of course we know that too, yes, 442 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: and we know the data. Right, There's lots of things 443 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: we can argue about from a political perspective, and we 444 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: can say, you know what, we've got a difference of 445 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: opinion on this. The data was clear, transparent and readily 446 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: available for anyone to look at after what happened in 447 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and Ferguson to give you a direct idea 448 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: of why twenty twenty, the defund the movement police movement 449 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty was going to be even worse and 450 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: the boom we've got it unfortunately and all time percentage 451 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: increase one year to the next in the murder rate, 452 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: nearly thirty percent, according to the FBI, all directly because 453 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: of people like Elon Omar who made the defund the 454 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: police argument, all of whom were Democrats, and many of 455 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: whom now say, oh, when we never said defund the police. 456 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: We need to play that clip again where all of 457 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: them say like, hey, we've got to defund the police. 458 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we got to tell you.

I have been to a World 507 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: Series game before, and honestly, Clay is just gonna choke 508 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: me right here in the studio when I say this. 509 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: I thought it sucked, and it wasn't just because the 510 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: Astros lost. But I'm six eight and so you have 511 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: to These are jammed into the seats in front of me. 512 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm so tall. I had this tiny little lady behind me, 513 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: so I felt bad any time I stood up, so 514 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: whenever anyone else stood up, I'm this monster, hunched over 515 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: in the chair drinking a nineteen dollars beer. I just 516 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: from my home would have been so much better. I'm out. 517 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm out. I gotta tell you, I'm a big Jesse. 518 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the home viewing experience is 519 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: basically always better because other people often ruin things. And 520 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: I gotta say, you're a very nice guy. We've been 521 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: friends for many years. If I had to sit behind 522 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: you at like lay Miss or at you know, any 523 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: of these Broadway shows here, not that that's playing right now, 524 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: but you know, you're like the nightmare the guy to 525 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: sit behind, because it's not like you've got a big 526 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: hat on or something like. You can't we can't actually 527 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: saw you in half and make you smaller. I want 528 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: to know that, you know. I went. I went out 529 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: to a range yesterday in Vegas. You're down there in 530 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: Houston where guns are actually loud. You am a man, 531 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: Clay Travish. You get out there and do a little 532 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: shooting together. Well, we should get out and do shooting together, 533 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: because you can't walk more than fifteen steps in this 534 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: town without some kind of indoors shooting range. I mean, 535 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: fully automatic, you know what. They have it here. But 536 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: the problem is right now, Clay is a world series 537 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: mode and I'm never going back. I'm never going back. 538 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: I would rather stop it up sports bar across the 539 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: street and eat cheese sticks and drink with the bartender 540 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: then go back. And can I just tell you real quick, 541 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean when you get the Clay experience, Like I 542 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: went to Alabama and I had to sort of be 543 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: reminded with myself. You know, it's you know, it's a 544 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 1: little bit like going to the movie set with Clooney 545 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: or something like. It's a little bit of a different vibe, 546 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: you know, Clay's like Clay's like, well, we're going to 547 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: like the nicest owner's box. But we could also hang 548 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: out on the side of the field and everyone's walking 549 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: around like yeah, look out kick. So it was a 550 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: rarefied experience mister Travis gave me at the Alabama game. 551 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: You should roll with him. Well, you know we've got 552 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: a big fan ban I know Jesse does too, and 553 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: this is a great station that we're on in Houston, 554 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: but a lot of people were coming up to me, 555 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, because my son's a huge Atlanta Braves fan, 556 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: and they were like, man, you know, I'm a big 557 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: fan of the show, but you got some balls rolling 558 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: into the stadium with your son. My son had like 559 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: eight different Atlanta Brave paraphernalia on, and late in the 560 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: game he was like, hey, dad, can we make sure 561 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: we do the tomahawk chop. There's nobody who's an Atlanta 562 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: Braves fan around us, and when you're a dad in 563 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: a visiting stadium, they ain't gonna be mad at your son, 564 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: right you know. It's a little bit like if you're 565 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: out with your wife or your girlfriend and she starts 566 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: yelling at somebody. They're not yelling really back at her. 567 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: You're the target. You ever drive, I know this probably 568 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: happened to you. Jesse, were like, every now and then, 569 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: my wife will drive and she'll cut somebody off, and 570 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: that person will come roaring up beside us like angry, 571 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: and you're you're kind of like, I don't know what 572 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: to say, like I saw what happened, But you get 573 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: blamed because you're the guy and it's another guy. Who's mad. 574 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, we're not gonna do the 575 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: Tomahawk shop. We're gonna win with a little bit of 576 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: class here. But he was ready to go all out, 577 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: stand up, be chanting and everything else. I was like, no, 578 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: we don't need to do that, you know, Jesse. We 579 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: talked to Michael Barry before and he said, you guys 580 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: are thinking about doing some kind of a big event 581 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: with some of the people from our world here, the 582 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: truth based media world. I don't even know how we 583 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: would describe it. You know, you made you me Barry, 584 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: and you know some others that would obviously come to mind. 585 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: You got a plan?

I am so 590 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: bad at things like this. When I have to try 591 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: to plan an event, I will screw the whole thing up. 592 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: So my plan is to go home tonight and tell 593 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: the wife, Hey, I know you have a bunch of 594 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: extra free time on your hands.

What's the maddest 602 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: your wife has been at you, Jesse, in the last 603 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: couple of years. Is there something where you were like, Oh, 604 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm in so much trouble over this. Do you remember 605 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of married guys out there listening, and 606 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: I know you talk about you can just check your watch, like, 607 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: oh man, we got a bunch of different stories here 608 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: you could tell. But is there one where you were like, 609 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm in so much trouble over this? Yes, absolutely there's one. 610 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: She had a scar on her ear from earrings when 611 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: she was a kid. I won't go into the details 612 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: of it. She called it a butt ear is really weird, 613 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: but for years and years and years after she had kids. 614 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: She's a gymnast, so she's just this athletic freak and 615 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: used to being an athletic freak and she looked perfect 616 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: after she had kids. She's one of those women all 617 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: other women hate went right back to looking good. She 618 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: thought she didn't look good, and she always said she 619 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: wanted to get plastic surgery on her ear and get 620 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: her stomach fixed. She has washboard apps. She doesn't need 621 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: to get her stomach fixed, but you know women are 622 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: so Finally, she drives by a plastic surgeon one day 623 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: and says, oh, I wonder if he could do my ear, 624 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: And without thinking because she had been bringing up the stomach, 625 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: I said, why don't you get your stomach done first? Yeah, 626 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: and I'm cringing. I'm a major, still alive. I've never 627 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: hated myself so much in my life. And it didn't 628 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: matter how many times I pointed to her washboard app 629 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: as that was the moment I thought. I was just hey, 630 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: can I tell you you're a forgotten about that? Though? 631 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: One thing about women is they don't remember things for 632 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: very long. Two of my favorite things about about Jesse Kelly, 633 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: which I'll tell this audience, is that one I have 634 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: actually gotten formally reprimanded by a previous employer for liking 635 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: a Jesse Kelly tweet. Just oh, that's amazing. I've actually 636 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: been told like you cut out like a Jesse Kelly tweet. 637 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: And also when there's a headline that you're like, oh 638 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: my god, there's ten different jokes I can think about 639 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: this that are inappropriate. Sometimes I'll just text it to 640 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: Jesse and be like, hey, you run with this one. 641 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: You run with this one because the rules are different 642 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: for him for some reason. I have not figured out 643 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: why he can say things that I would get put 644 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: in the penalty box for. That's what happened in the 645 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: world of sports with me, Buck, is that I was 646 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: able to say so many things in sports that nobody 647 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: else could say, and I would get you know, like 648 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: people would send me and say, hey, I could never 649 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: say this, but just an idea for you here. And 650 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: sometimes that's good. You got an excuse to be able 651 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: to set somebody else up. Let him have. Jesse's got 652 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: to lay off the Italians. We got a lot of 653 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: wonderful conservative Italians listening here in New York City. Jesse. 654 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 1: We see those tweets. No, No, I would never say 655 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: anything bad. I'm done. I'm done ripping on Italians completely. 656 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: As soon as those mustaches get trimmed off the ladies, 657 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm good to go.
