Oh, welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: I know that many of you out there may have 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of a Super Bowl hangover as we 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: roll into the Monday edition of the program. I am 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: still out in Phoenix. I was at the game yesterday. 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: I know over one hundred million of you were watching 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: at home. We've got an absolutely loaded Monday for you. 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate k Fyi, our affiliate out here in Phoenix, 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: where we are the number one show in the market 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: hosting me for the past several days. Buck Sexton is 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: out all week. He is on his honeymoon with the 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: lovely Carrie. I've seen some of the photos that they 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: have posted from Instagram if you're curious how Buck is doing. 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: I imagine we're also putting some of that up at 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. So I will be with you solo 17 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: throughout this week as well. We've got a couple of 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: great guests with you. We'll discuss what's going on with 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: all of these different objects that are being shot down 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: with Elbridge, Colby, and the latest on United States China relations. 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Also Tutor Dixon, Republican candidate for governor from Michigan. We'll 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: talk about one of the one of these objects being 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: shot down in northern Michigan, right around where the up 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: meets the Lower Peninsula. For those of you out there 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: who are familiar with the geography of Michigan. We'll discuss 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: all that and more. But I wanted to start talking 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl and the larger context and what 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: it came to mean and does mean to me and 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: many of you out there. And I want to start 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: by saying condolen system the Philadelphia Eagles. I thought the 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: late defensive holding call was one that, by the letter 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: of the law, was a hold that if I were 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: an official, I probably would not have called because I 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: didn't think it was egregious enough to warrant the flag. 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: That is my hot take on the way that that 36 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: game concluded after it was tied up thirty five thirty 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: five Chiefs kick the field goal to win, and a 38 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: lot of the controversy has been associated with that call. 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Always a great way, in my opinion, to finish off 40 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: the football season with the Super Bowl. And I thought 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun out here did 42 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: a fabulous job hosting not only this event, but also 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: the Waste Management Open, which is one of the most 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: fun PGA Tour events of the season. But I wanted 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: to tell you some people out there listening to me 46 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: right now, I understand you say, I refuse to watch 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm upset because of Colin Kaepernick. I'm upset 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: over the kneeling. I'm upset the way the NFL has 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: made a decision to at times embrace wokeness. And I 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: understand that argument. Let me make a case for you 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: about why the NFL is actually everything that's good about 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,279 Speaker 1: America as it pertains to the Super Bowl in particular. 53 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: And this may be swimming a bit against the current 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: thread that is out there and the tide that is 55 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: out there, but I want to start with this. Sports 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: on their most basic level, are the definition of anti 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: woke because sports is about the meritocracy. It doesn't matter 58 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: what color you are, it doesn't matter what gender you are, 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who your mom and dad is, it 60 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how much money your family has. Ultimately, the 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: rules hopefully are applied evenly and everybody out there is 62 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: able to compete on an absolutely even playing field where 63 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: The goal was not equality. The goal is not equity, 64 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: The goal is dominance. Football is America. The Super Bowl 65 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: is the carnival of excess that makes this country great. 66 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Everything that is told to us now about the woke 67 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: culture is directly repudiated by the actual on field results. 68 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: You either can play or you can't, and all that matters, 69 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: by and large is can you succeed. It is the 70 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: definition of the meritocracy. America should look more like the 71 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: NFL and more like the super Bowl instead of less. 72 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: And some people out there saying, I'm gonna turn my 73 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: back on the NFL, I'm gonna turn my back on 74 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, And I understand that argument. But I 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: came from the world of sports, and what I have 76 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: seen is the toxic, woke culture of America trying to 77 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: make sports like it. And my argument is we need 78 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: to lean into the meritocracy of the Super Bowl and 79 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: make America more like the NFL, where the best man 80 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: in this case wins, but in the larger context of sports, 81 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: the best man or woman wins, and the goal isn't 82 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: to be even. There's a scoreboard and at the end 83 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: of the day, there's a winner and a loser. And 84 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: we need to focus more on that. In America. Competition 85 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: is the fabric of American life, so I want to 86 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: start there with the meritocracy. I also want to tell 87 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: you something that doesn't get any attention, So OutKick is owned. 88 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: The site that I sold to Fox in May of 89 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one is now owned by Fox. And some 90 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: of you may have seen me this morning on Fox News. 91 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: I do a lot of Fox News appearances and I'm 92 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: out here doing Fox Sports events as well. One of 93 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: the things that I don't think gets talked about enough 94 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: the amount of grinders that have to work to put 95 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl performance on. I'm talking about people who 96 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: get up at two am when it is pitch black 97 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: and go out and make sure the cables are working 98 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: so that you can turn on your television and watch 99 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: the game. I did Fox News Sunday with Shannon Breeman 100 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Bill Hemmer. Had to be up super early, got to 101 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: the stadium yesterday in the pre dawn hours. There were 102 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of people already working there, black, white, Asian, Hispanic 103 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: men and women standing out in the darkness to make 104 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: sure that this event happened for all of you. None 105 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: of those people get any attention. They are the fabric 106 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: of America as well. Not highly paid for the most part, 107 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: not getting any sleep at all, up for you grinding 108 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: to put on this production. Both Fox Sports and Fox 109 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 1: News employees, and I don't think they get enough credit 110 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: for what they're able to accomplish. What about this spectacle 111 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: of the game itself. It's capitalistic excess on steroids. It's amazing. 112 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: The commercials. I happen to like ben Affleck and the 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts commercials. I'm a big fan of Breaking Bad. 114 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: I like the fact that we brought back those guys. 115 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Credit to Greg Gutfeld, the new king of Late Night 116 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: at Fox. I thought his commercial was really entertaining to me. 117 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: The capitalistic excess of the Super Bowl is about everything 118 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: that America does. We do whatever the world does, except 119 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: we do it better and that ties in. Some of 120 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: you may not like Rihanna. I happen to like her. 121 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: One of her songs used to be my lead in 122 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: and my sports talker radio show. What does Rihanna represent? 123 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: She came here from Barbados. She came here to the 124 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: United States because she was talented and she wanted to dominate. 125 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: America is the country that people come to when they 126 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: are talented and they want to dominate because we create 127 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: more global superstars than anyone. And I thought it was 128 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: so interesting watching Rihanna, who appears like she's pregnant again, 129 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: watching the spectacle of the halftime show, not on television 130 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: but from the seats, and being able to see the 131 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: number of people that had to be brought out to 132 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: put this stage together. I don't know what the stage 133 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: costs millions of dollars for basically a twelve minute performance. 134 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: The best in the world, representative of Rihanna, come here 135 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: so that they can make their livings, the most talented people. 136 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: It's the meritocracy. It is the heartbeat of America. The 137 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,359 Speaker 1: super Bowl and its carnival of excess in its complete 138 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: and total embrace of capitalism and the meritocracy, in its 139 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: featuring of incredibly talented people. It represents the best of 140 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: America and I'm not going to allow the woke Zealots 141 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: to take it away from us. You know, there was 142 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: a moment, and you may have seen it in the 143 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: pregame where the national anthem was playing, and they caught 144 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles coach Nick Siriani. He's not an actor on 145 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: the sideline, so overcome with emotion that tears began to 146 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: run down his cheeks during the national anthem. That's my America. 147 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: That's the America I see every day where almost everyone white, black, Asianist, Banic, 148 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: whatever your background, wakes up proud to be a citizen 149 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: of this country. And I think the media has focused 150 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: way too much on divisive figures. I didn't see a 151 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: single person kneeling during the national anthem during America the Beautiful? 152 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: How good was Chris Stapleton, by the way, singing that anthem. Now, 153 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: the NFL is not perfect. There are things do that 154 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I believe nod far too often to this woke culture 155 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: that is the antithesis of everything that the NFL should represent. 156 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: But my goodness, when you consider the overall scope and 157 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: the reach and the impact of one hundred million plus 158 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: people all brought together to watch one game that is 159 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: importantly innately American. Nowhere else do they play football. We 160 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: created it here. It is, in my opinion, the heartbeat 161 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: of American life. And so I was standing next to 162 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: in this seat, Joe Biden made the trip down and 163 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: I was talking with Bill Hemmer, who was sitting next 164 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: to me, about the fact that Joe Biden didn't come. 165 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: We're out here in Arizona. I say, you know what, 166 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: if they put Joe Biden on this screen, the entire 167 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: stadium would have boot That's why he didn't come. Because 168 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has become the antithesis of sports and 169 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: the meritocracy. It's why they showed celebrities all throughout the 170 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: game on the JumboTron in the stadium. Do you know 171 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: the only celebrity they showed on the JumboTron who got booed? 172 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Lebron James? Why? Because Lebron James has sold his brand 173 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: of excellence. His brand is wildly talented basketball player, but 174 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: he has sold the idea that America is an awful, 175 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: racist place. And sports fans from across the political spectrum 176 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly reject that. They don't reject Lebron's talent as an athlete, 177 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: He's clearly one of the best of all time, but 178 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: they reject the message that he has sent that America 179 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: is an awful, irredeemable racist place. Sports fans are rising 180 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: up and rejecting woke. This is important because sports is 181 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: a reflection of where the country is, and if we 182 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: had allowed this woke virus to spread to such an 183 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: extent that it took over all of our sports, the 184 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: culture would have become, I believe, even more anti American. 185 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: But as I experienced yesterday here in Phoenix, the carnival 186 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: of excess that is the Super Bowl, I have not 187 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: been more optimistic in a very long time that the 188 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: woke fever is breaking and that we are poised. And 189 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: I understand sometimes the darkness before the dawn can feel very, 190 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: very intense, but I believe we are poised to break 191 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: through this woke virus once and for all and kick 192 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: it to the curb. And I believe it's going to 193 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: happen in twenty twenty four with the right candidate in 194 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: a monster win. In fact, I'm writing about this right now, 195 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: so I'm thinking about it a great deal. My next 196 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: book is coming out in September. I'm thinking about what 197 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,359 Speaker 1: that looks like, and to me, it needs to reflect 198 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: everything in the NFL, the meritocracy, the fact that sports 199 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: itself is anti woke. And again, I understand that some 200 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: of you out there are furious with the NFL over 201 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: the way they handled Kaepernick over that, but here's the deal. 202 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: You win by fighting battles, you very rarely win by 203 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: giving up the battlefield to your opponent, and I believe 204 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: that we are winning in a big way, and yesterday 205 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: was an important metaphor in my opinion, for how that 206 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: battleground looks and what is coming for the future. I'm 207 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: going to give you guys an opportunity to weigh in 208 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: a great deal during the course of today's show. Eight 209 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: hundred two A two two eight a two Clay Travis 210 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: out of here live in Phoenix, having an absolutely fantastic time. 211 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you who were out there listening to 212 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: me right now. Hope you took my advice and took 213 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: the chiefs and Patrick Mahomes to be the MVP. By 214 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: the way, I got both those things right. Did not 215 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: get right on the over under. I thought there would 216 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: be fewer points scored than there were. But what a game. 217 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: If you think about what's being taught in schools these 218 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: days and you're concerned, you have a right to be. 219 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: Are you worried about what your children or grandchildren are 220 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: learning or not learning in school?

One of 238 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: my favorite things, by the way, last night, and I 239 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: do think it's important and sent a really interesting message 240 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: about where we might be headed. Was Rupert Murdock obviously 241 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: owns Fox, which was airing the game last night. And 242 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: during the broadcast, they showed Rupert Murdock sitting alongside of 243 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, and it's set left wing Twitter ablaze. They 244 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: absolutely lost their minds over the fact that the guy 245 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: who now owns Twitter would be sitting next to would 246 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: be sitting next to Rupert Murdock. I saw one tweet 247 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: that said all we need now is lex Luthor and 248 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: we'll have the three worst people possible all sitting together, 249 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: which I thought it was really funny. And our good 250 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: buddy Don Lemon at CNN let me mention this. By 251 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: the way, Donald Trump shared the story that we had 252 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: up at OutKick about this. The CNN Morning Show is 253 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: hitting decade low ratings, headed up by Don Lemon, who 254 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: failed in primetime. Donald Trump retweeted one of our stories 255 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: at OutKick by a good guy who's been killing it 256 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: for us, Bobby Barak, one of the writers at OutKick. 257 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: But Don Lemon said, it's a little bit frightening to 258 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: see Elon Musk sitting with Rupert Murdock. Remember, the anti 259 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: woke community is actually a fan of football. They're a 260 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: fan of scores being kept. They're a fan of the meritocracy. 261 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: The left wing in this country. They're really scared. They 262 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: see two people they don't like sitting side by side 263 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: who have the audacity to believe that you and me 264 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: and everybody else out there in the country should be 265 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: able to say exactly what we think. Play cut thirteen. 266 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: When you talk about reshaping truth and the media ecosystem 267 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: and you see Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch sitting there together, 268 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: that gets people to wonder, and for some it is 269 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: confirmation that seemed that's why he shouldn't have done the 270 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: interview with Fox. It's all their all and collusion out 271 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: to get Joe Biden and liberals and the administration. Were 272 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: you that surprised though, to see them sitting next to 273 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: each other, I really I don't think. I was not surprised. 274 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: It stood out, but it wasn't like, oh, wow, no, 275 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: it seems like the most predictable thing in the world. 276 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised that they actually, like, wow, 277 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: they actolutely did it because it's a little frightening. I 278 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: must say, it's frightening for two people to sit next 279 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: to each other and watch a football game. It's frightening. 280 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: I think about what we're sayingy here. It's frightening for 281 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: two be able to choose to sit beside each other 282 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: and watch the Super Bowl. I mean, this is where 283 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: these people are. They're absolutely bonkers, and we have to 284 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: fight them, and we have to combat them, and guess what, 285 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: we're kicking their ass. Gun owners, you know, amos become 286 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: much more expensive in the past year, which makes it 287 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: pricey to train and keep your skills sharp.

Sleeve Travis and Buck Sexton on the 300 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: front line of truth. We'll walk back in Clay Travis 301 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show, we're making fun of some of the 302 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: some of the pearl clutching coming out of the Super 303 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: Bowl when you see Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch sitting 304 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: side by side during the Super Bowl which was airing 305 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: on Fox, and I just want to build more on 306 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: the battle and why I think we're winning it. First 307 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: of all, Rupert Murdoch is an incredible media story because 308 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: if you didn't have the New York Post, if you 309 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: didn't have the Wall Street Journal, if you didn't have 310 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: Fox News, and if you didn't have OutKick, there effectively 311 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: would be almost zero market place of ideas in America 312 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: right now, because I couldn't believe when I saw this, 313 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: there is an article right now in USA Today. Remember 314 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: when USA Today called me a far right wing extremist 315 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: in an editorial. This is a column that USA Today 316 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: has up. And by the way, I think USA Today 317 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: part of Gannette, I think USA Today is probably going 318 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: to go bankrupt. You basically have to have the brain 319 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: power of a four year old to read USA Today. 320 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: And it used to be that the reason why this 321 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: newspaper had big circulation was if you'll remember those days, 322 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: you couldn't even stay in a hotel room without getting 323 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: a copy of USA Today, and it's it was written 324 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: for four year olds in like nineteen eighty four, and 325 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: now it's written for people who I really think can 326 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: basically not read. Like it's actually gone downhill and its intelligence. 327 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: And one of their sports columnists, and I put sports 328 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: in quotation, Marks said this was his column. We had 329 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 1: a thirty eight thirty five win. Right. The sports media 330 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: is what is destroying sports, right if you want to 331 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: It's not the sport itself, because sports is founded on 332 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: the meritocracy. It's sports media imbeciles like this USA Today guy. 333 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Here is the this is their opinion piece. Guy travels 334 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: to Arizona theoretically to watch the Super Bowl and writes 335 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty seven is the blackest, most woke super 336 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: Bowl ever. Sorry, haters. We had the black national anthem, Rihanna, 337 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: two black starting quarterbacks for the first time ever. This 338 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: wasn't the Super Bowl. This was Wakonda. That's legitimately I'm reading. 339 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: I'm not even they can't even make this stuff up. 340 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 1: That is from the USA Today. And I was like, 341 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: who the hell wrote this? And I went and looked. 342 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: USA today has as an employee a race and inequality 343 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: editor in sports. Let me repeat that, sports media is 344 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: what you hate. You don't hate sports, You hate us, 345 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: say today, because they employ and this is why the 346 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: company's gonna end up going bankrupt, right because they employ 347 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: untalented hacks. But they have a race and inequality editor 348 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: in sports. That's an actual job title. That's the job 349 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: title of the moron who I'm reading from that just 350 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: had that opening paragraph, not naming them. But let me 351 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: tell you this, Sports a meritocracy. You know what the 352 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: opposite of a meritocracy is diversity and inclusion. And I 353 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: just want you to follow me down this primrose path 354 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: here for a moment, if you would. What would happen 355 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: if an NFL team owner actually gave in entirely to 356 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: these idiots in sports media and to the far left 357 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: wing in this country. What if somebody out there said, Hey, 358 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: I want a football team that perfectly reflects American diversity 359 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: and it's going to be the most inclusive team ever. Well, 360 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: first of all, you'd have to fire a lot of 361 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: black guys, right, because the NFL meritocracy means the NFL's 362 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: around sixty five or seventy percent black. That's fine. The 363 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: best man or woman should get the job regardless of 364 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: their race. So, if you're going to accurately reflect America, 365 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: an NFL team should only have twelve percent black players, 366 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: and it should be around four percent Asian and twenty 367 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: percent Hispanic and sixty percent white. You know, you do 368 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: the math on exactly what the makeup should be. Okay, Well, 369 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: what would happen if you did that? Your team would 370 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: probably get a task kicked because it wouldn't be as talented. 371 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: You'd have white, Hispanic and Asian guys forcing black guys 372 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: not to be employed in the NFL. But that would 373 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: actually be diverse and inclusive. What if you took it 374 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: a step further though? Your team would probably not be 375 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: very good, but you could probably still win some games. 376 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: You'd never win the Super Bowl, of course, because you're 377 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: leaving the most talented people out from your team in 378 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: an effort to have perfect cosmetic diversity and deliver the 379 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect reflection of America in your job in your team. 380 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: What if some owner out there said, you know, that's 381 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: not good enough. Sixty percent white guys, twelve percent black guys, 382 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: twenty Hispanic, four percent Asian. Maybe you got to throw 383 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: in a Native American there too, just to make sure 384 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: the cosmetic blueprints perfect. What if that owner said, over 385 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: half of America's women, there's never been a woman play 386 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl, there's never been a woman play 387 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL. In general, half of my team needs 388 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: to be female. Well, then you would really be showing everybody. Hey, look, 389 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: my team is a perfect reflection of America. We're fifty 390 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: one percent female, We're forty nine percent mail, We're sixty 391 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: two percent white, we're eighteen percent Asian or eighteen percent Hispanic, 392 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: twelve percent Black, four percent Asian, whatever the exact mathematical 393 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: census data reflects. Right now, your team would never win 394 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: a game, and they might not score in the entire season. 395 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: But my goodness, look how good the team photo would be. 396 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: It would be a perfect rainbow representation of American diversity 397 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: and inclusion, and it would be the antithesis of everything 398 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: that sports represents. See what I think a lot of 399 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: you have gotten sucked into is you have allowed the 400 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: media to make you think you hate sports. And there 401 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: aren't enough people out there pointing out that the meritocers 402 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: is the opposite of this diversity and inclusion universe, this 403 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: USA Today world, where they actually employ in the sports 404 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: media some loser who is a race and inequality editor 405 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: in sports. An inequality editor in sports, My friends, we 406 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: don't need an inequality editor in sports. We already have 407 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lions fans. I'm sorry. 408 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: That was probably a cheap shot. So many people in Michigan. 409 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: You're we're about to talk to Tutor Dixon, and you're 410 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: all listening to every word, and then you just hung 411 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: your head in shame if you're a Lions fans. All right, 412 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: my wife's from the Detroit area, so I know quite 413 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: a lot about the Lions futility as an NFL franchise. 414 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: But you an inclusivity editor in sports. Again, just think 415 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: about it. A perfect representation of America on an NFL 416 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: team wouldn't score a single touchdown. And what I think 417 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: is important and illustrative about this example is if it's 418 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: true in a highly competitive endeavor like the NFL, right, 419 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: every team's goal is to get the best possible players 420 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,959 Speaker 1: and the best possible coaches so they can win as 421 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: many games as possible. Isn't that also likely to be 422 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: true in larger business, and isn't, in fact, Joe Biden's 423 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: entire administration a repudiation of sports. Karine john Pierre got 424 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: her job because she's a black lesbian. Mayor Pete got 425 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: his job because he's gay. Kamala Harris got her job 426 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: because she's a black woman. Katangi Brown Jackson was specifically 427 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: selected for the Supreme Court because she's a black woman. 428 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: If you tried to run a pro sports franchise based 429 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: on the same standards applied by Joe Biden's administration, you 430 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: would end up with what we have in the Biden administration, 431 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: the single worst collection of talent that has ever existed 432 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: in any American cabinet and in any American administration. Because 433 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: they are not interested in the best man or the 434 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: best woman. They are the antithesis of sports. Everything woke 435 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: turns to crap. And if any sports league decided to 436 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: go all in on diversity and inclusion and equality and equity, 437 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: no one would watch and all of us would hate 438 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: the product. Instead, over a hundred million people watch the 439 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: NFL because they pursue excellence, which is the very foundation 440 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: of American capitalism, the meritocracy, versus diversity and inclusion. It's 441 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories that's going on right now. 442 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: And I would just say, how much of your hate 443 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: for sports has to do with the people who cover 444 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: sports as opposed to the actual sports, which reject wholeheartedly 445 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: by and large, this idea of players and diversity inclusion. 446 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: Now coaching, that's a different story. I think the leagues 447 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: have to be careful about allowing themselves to be taken 448 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: hostage by the trojan horse out there in the diversity 449 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: inclusion universe of saying, well, this group is not diverse enough. 450 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: But no, no, no. A meritocracy is what everything in 451 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: America represents, and USA today, which is on its way 452 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: to bankruptcy because they are hiring race and inequality editors 453 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: who want to watch a great Super Bowl game and proclaim, 454 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: at Wakonda, you know what ain't Wakonda America. America is 455 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: the best of all backgrounds. It is the meritocracy. It's 456 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: not the best of one single background. We bring the 457 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: best of all backgrounds together in pursuit of excellence. I 458 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: think that's an important lesson, and I bet you haven't 459 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: ever heard anybody make that argument to you before. But 460 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: I just think about it. The football team compared to 461 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Tennessee Chiefs are Super Bowl champs, But 462 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: my goodness, the Biden administration are even worse than the 463 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions would be because everything woke eventually turns to 464 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: crap no matter how good the culture is. Otherwise, all right, 465 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: I'll take some of your calls me come back. Maybe 466 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: you disagree with me, maybe you agree with me. Maybe 467 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: you think that I'm brilliant and my mom is right. 468 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: Maybe you think that I'm an imbecile. All open.

The commercials of the Super Bowl, I 508 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: thought we're pretty awful, but you tell me your opinion, 509 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of us out here that are 510 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: fighting like you wouldn't believe, so you know we're not 511 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: giving up on America period. Amen. Thank you for the call. 512 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: I look the commercials in general, the ad vertising industry is, 513 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: I believe the wokeust community in America, and I think 514 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: all those losers in the advertiser advertising community have given 515 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: up on trying to entertain everybody, and they're so terrified 516 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: of being considered to be offensive that there's very little 517 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: humor anymore. I thought the Duncan Donuts ad was good. 518 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: I thought the the ad for the I like the 519 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad Guys. I thought that was good. Appreciate the 520 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: feedback on the show. Look Buck and I are just 521 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: trying every single day to fight the battles that Rush 522 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: would still be fighting if he were here. Rosanna in Florida, 523 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: she hung up, all right, let's go Tom in Salt 524 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: Lake City. What's up? Tom? Hey? Click? Thank you so 525 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,479 Speaker 1: much for your optimism moving forward. I do appreciate I 526 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: had to get on the phone and wait patiently to 527 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: get in. I agree wholeheartedly, But there's three issues I 528 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: wanted to contest with you. But I think we're all 529 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: served a tremendous football game. Both teams were absolutely excellent. 530 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: I think Patrick Mahomes in particular, showed what America, in 531 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, is about grit heart optimism that whole team, 532 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: both teams. I don't think we need two anthems. I 533 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: think one American anthem. I agree wholeheartedly with you on that. 534 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: Like the idea of the black national anthem, which I think, 535 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: to be fair, was like thirty minutes before the game. 536 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: I mean, they put it far away from the start 537 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 1: of the game. On my old sports show, we actually 538 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: made fun of it because I think the best way 539 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: to deal with diversity and inclusion is often mockery. So 540 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: we were like, why don't we have a Hispanic national anthem. 541 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: Why don't we have an Asian national anthem? Why don't 542 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: we have a women's anthem before the Super Bowl? So 543 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: I think the way to ridicule diversity inclusion oftentimes is 544 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: to argue it's not diverse and inclusive enough. So what 545 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 1: if you're an Asian person? I mean, shouldn't we play 546 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: Gangham style? Let you pick your favorite d I mean, 547 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: obviously I'm being satirical here, but I need to get 548 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: Maybe i'll play that for you guys tomorrow if you 549 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: haven't heard it. Um. When they announced they were gonna 550 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 1: be playing the black national anthem a couple of years ago, 551 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: we had fun with it on my sports talk radio 552 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: show and put together what we called the greatest most 553 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: inclusive anthem of all time to ridicule and mock the 554 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: absurdity of it. Let me keep moving here, by the way, 555 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: but I agree with you on that. Dave in Pennsylvania. 556 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: What's update? You don't play my brother do a different mother. 557 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Dave. What you got for me? Well, 558 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: I agree with you to the point of the journalist 559 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: being a big problem. But I think they're awful. I 560 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: hate them. I do too, But but the cancer metastasized 561 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: through the whole thing, the NFL, the players, the teams, 562 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: the coaches, everything. But I think you're I think you're 563 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: seeing pushback, Dave, because when I saw Nick Siriani crying 564 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: during the super during the national anthem this morning or sorry, 565 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: yesterday evening, and I saw the reactions pouring in this morning, 566 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: I think most people are cowards. And I think when 567 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: you're a coward, the easiest thing to do is avoid 568 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: drawing attention to yourself. And I think there are a 569 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of people out there in the world of sports 570 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: that disagree wholeheartedly with everything of this woke culture, but 571 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: knew that they would be targeted by the sports media 572 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: if they spoke out. And I think what you're starting 573 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: to see now is a pushback against that. Joe and Ohio, 574 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: you didn't like Rihanna's performance, They Clay, No, I want 575 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: to ask you what you thought about for grabbing her 576 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: crash and then yeah, look, you know, yeah, I get it. 577 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, this has been a thing since Elvis Presley 578 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: went on the show back in the day and they 579 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: wouldn't let him swivel hips. The younger you are, the 580 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: more you're going to like sexually provocative behavior. The older 581 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: you are, the less you're gonna like it. But this 582 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: is a story as old as entertainment. I didn't have 583 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: a problem with it personally.
