00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Klay, Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: Second hour of Playing Buck kicks off right now. Everybody,

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: thank you for being here with us. Govenoran DeSantis of

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Florida will be joining us at the bottom of the hour,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: so stick around for that. Talk to him about how

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: he thinks campaign's going, and get into some of the

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: important policy questions that we're all thinking about these days,

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: you know, like the economy, what's happening in this country.

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: But I don't often spend we don't often talk.

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: Much about what's going on in Ukraine in art because

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: I think, for one, there's a lot of people who

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: have turned this into something that it's not, which is

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: a core and essential American interest abroad.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: You'll hear this from both Republicans and Democrats, particularly from Democrats,

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: though on the whole Ukraine flags, the number of people

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: who have Ukraine flags and or had Ukraine flags and

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: vaccine needles in their Facebook or Twitter bios or their

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: email signatures really proved I think beyond any doubt that

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: this became the thing that people attached themselves to who

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: are part of the hive mind for a while, but

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: generally speaking, here's how it goes. Celebrities, including Greta Thunberg,

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: who is a celebrity. I think she's eighteen years old now,

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: the high Priestess of climate change, no degree of any

25
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: kind from anywhere, but telling everybody about what to do

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: with climate change. I feel badly for any adults who

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: listened to Greta Thunberg and think that that's worth their time.

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: But there are millions and millions of them. She's gone

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: over there though. I can't even think of all the

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: different celebrities who name an annoying left wing actor and

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: he or she has probably gone over to take photos

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: with Zelensky. Because this has been a cause celeb this

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: is something that brings them all together. Well, we were

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: told there was going to be a counter offensive against

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: Russia that was going to start pushing Russia back on

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: its heels. And no surprise to those of us who

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: know what the propaganda is in this versus the reality,

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: but Clay, the counter offensive is stalling and in fact,

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: meaning the Ukrainian counteroffensive against the Russians is not going

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: as planned. And now we're we're faced with two things.

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: One is a decision that hasn't made the other's a

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: decision that still could be made. Cluster bombs. We know

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: that cluster bombs can leave behind these bomblets that are

44
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: quite small, and if they do not detonate initially, they

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: just are left behind, almost like land mines. They just

46
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: are dropped on the ground, and then if somebody comes

47
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: by later, you know, a random civilian, a kid, touches one,

48
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: it blows up and kills that person. That's the reason

49
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: why cluster bombs are banned by so many different international treaties. Well,

50
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: we've decided we're going to give the Ukrainians cluster bombs clay,

51
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: So we're giving them cluster bombs, even though we know

52
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: cluster bombs are a huge humanitarian concern. You know, I'm

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: glad we're not, you know, giving them chemical weapons, and

54
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: I'm glad we're drawing some lines here and the critical

55
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: fight for Ukraine. But that's got a lot of people

56
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: raising their ryebrows. So it went from we're just gonna

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: give them, Well, it started out with helmets and flack

58
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: vests under Obama to then under Trump it was dragging

59
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: off sniper rifles and anti tank missiles javelin anti tank

60
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: missiles to now it's we're sending them hundreds of billions

61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: of dollars. I mean, who knows what the actual figure is.

62
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: There's the official budget and the unofficial budget. And on

63
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: top of all this, you've got Lindsey Graham, who is

64
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: out on the campaign trail with Trump. This is always

65
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: amazing to me, Lindsay Graham. People say, they say they

66
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: hate the establishment, and yet they keep voting Lindsey Graham

67
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: back in in South Carolina. You know, I don't know

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: what this is. Trump voters are all still coming out

69
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: and voting for Lindsay Graham. But Lindsey Graham says that

70
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: he wants he wants Ukraine to be admitted into NATO,

71
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: which has been the initial redline for all of this.

72
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: And he's saying, yeah, let's go, let's put let's put

73
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Ukraine into NATO at this point in time, and hope

74
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: Russia doesn't escalate that there create the escalation. We're worried

75
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: about that one move.

76
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, Buck, there are So this is the

77
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 4: problem with deciding that you're on a side for purposes

78
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: of the media. Okay, when you say, hey, Ukraine and

79
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: Russia are in war and pretty much unabashedly the United

80
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 4: States is on the side of Ukraine.

81
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Okay.

82
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 4: The child then becomes, how do you get reliable media

83
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: to cover and tell us what is actually.

84
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Going on when overwhelmingly.

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: The media is essentially in a rooting contest, Buck, does

86
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 4: this makes sense? So it's seen as pro Russia if

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: you share the truth, which is this, effectively, we've entered

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: into a stalemate and the much ballyhooed Ukrainian counter offensive

89
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: that was to take place this summer has not materialized.

90
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: Ukraine has gained virtually no territory. And so if you

91
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: share the factual reality of the on the ground story,

92
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: which is Russia has fortified effectively, it appears a nearly

93
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: at this point impregnable defensive position that the Ukrainians are

94
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: having almost no success pushing through. They have filled so

95
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: many land mines and the United States and this is

96
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: a big aspect of this story that is only now

97
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 4: starting to get attention.

98
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: You mentioned the cluster bombs that are going to be used.

99
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: Buck, Why is it necessary, because effectively, we've run out

100
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: of war material to even provide to Ukraine. And I

101
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: was reading a good story over the weekend where one

102
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 4: of the generals said, after five or six days, every

103
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: war is just a logistics battle. So the first five

104
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: or six days you can be stocked, you can be supplied,

105
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: you can be ready to go. But after the first

106
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: five or six days, everything is logistics. The logistics are

107
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: these We don't have weapons of traditional nature to be

108
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: providing Ukraine because most of our armory is now depleted.

109
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: And this is alarming to me, Buck, because what happens

110
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: if China goes in on Taiwan. This is a question

111
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: we've been talking about on this program since the invasion

112
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: initially happened in uk We don't have the war material

113
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 4: to be able to fight in multiple directions. We don't

114
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: have the resources. And yet, Buck, what does it feel

115
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: like so much of our military spends time on we

116
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 4: can't fill our ranks. We're missing all of the numbers

117
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: by twenty five percent I recruiting goals.

118
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, way way below recruiting goals. And what are we sharing?

119
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: Oh, you should be happy to be a trans soldier

120
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: from Admiral Levine and all this other craziness going on.

121
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't surprise me at all. Buck, Would you agree

122
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: with this thesis the least woke people in America are

123
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: soldiers as a general role. If you're eighteen years old

124
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: and you are a badass, the more of a badass

125
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: you are, the less woke you are. Would you generally

126
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: agree with that thesis that if you're going to be

127
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: a door kicker, the idea that you're going to be

128
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: concerned about equity and inclusion tends to be low.

129
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: You're speaking about combatants or people that are training for

130
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: and prepared for combat, that's certainly true. Military is a

131
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: very big organization, kind of like the cias of well,

132
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: not nearly as large, but it's also a large organization.

133
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: And there are people that do cool and exciting stuff,

134
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: and there are people who are really good at making

135
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: lattes back at headquarters. So it really depends.

136
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: But in general, when you look at a twenty five

137
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: percent failure on recruiting, the brand of the to me,

138
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: and I could be wrong, the brand of the military

139
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: does not have the appeal that it has had in

140
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 4: past years to be able to fill its recruiting ranks.

141
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: And to me, that's because what it used to be

142
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: the case was the military sold Hey, you can be

143
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: a badass. You can be the best version of yourself

144
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: if you join the military, and that had appealed to

145
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 4: a lot of seventeen and eighteen year olds out there

146
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: who made the decision to go into military. The Hey,

147
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: you can be your full self and you can be

148
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: transgender and join the military, and you can be fatten

149
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: out of shape like Admiral Levine is. That doesn't feel

150
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 4: to me like a oh I want to be a.

151
00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: Part of that team.

152
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Do you remember I remember watching I think it would

153
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: even run during you know, Saturday cartoons. I would see

154
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: that commercial. You know it was, you know, in the

155
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: mornings on Saturdays when I was watching whatever I was

156
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: watching as a kid growing up. The Few, the Proud,

157
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: the Marines. You remember that? Oh yeah, I remember seeing

158
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: that and as a kid thinking to myself, Marines, badass heroes,

159
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: want to do it? You know, like it would just

160
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: process in your head. And if you're going to tell people,

161
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: give up, you know, first of all, sign away possibly

162
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: you know, your life in defense of your country depends

163
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: on whether we're peace time or in war. But give

164
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: up the prospect of a private sector salary, at least

165
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: for a period of time. Sign yourself up for an

166
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 2: organization that's going to take away a lot of your

167
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: day to day autonomy certainly, and you know, basic training

168
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: and other periods it has to be. The spree to

169
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: corps is essential. You have to have people thinking there's

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: a real there's a purpose to this in the day

171
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: to day that motivates them and and that makes them

172
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: want to be excellent. I mean, the military is really

173
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: supposed to be and it has been traditionally in this

174
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 2: country about yeah, serving the country, defense of the nation,

175
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: but also achieving excellence, whether you're you know, an airman, infantry, navy, whatever.

176
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: And when you see this messaging out there that the

177
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: Navy is falling or I'm sorry that the military rather

178
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: is succumbing to you know, the social experimentation of the

179
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: left that undermines why people I mean, you know, we need,

180
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: we need young men and women to want to go

181
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: to war for their country because they believe. And if

182
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: you hurt that belief, because you undermine the entity itself

183
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: and you make them feel like the mission is something

184
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: that there aren't, they aren't necessarily going to be proud of,

185
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: or they don't feel like it's reflective of their highest ideals.

186
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: Got a big problem. I mean, you know, we're you

187
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: and I are the nine to eleven generation, right. I

188
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: think of all the people who signed up military. You know,

189
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: we had millions go through rock and Afghanistan, a few

190
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: million veterans. People went and worked in the state departments, CIA, DA,

191
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: nctc NSA. I mean, everybody's trying to find bin Laden.

192
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: There's a reason for that.

193
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I think that's one hundred percent right.

194
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: And on your Ukraine point, I think one of the

195
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: challenges is we don't really have an honest media anymore.

196
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: By and large, what happens when the bad guy wins buck?

197
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: How does the media cover if you are going to

198
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: say Ukraine is everything that's good and Russia is everything

199
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: that's evil. If you're covering a war between good and evil,

200
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: does the American media have the capability of telling you

201
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: that the evil side might be winning? I don't know

202
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: that we do, and if we aren't informed. As an

203
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: American populist with hey, we've spent what's the total now

204
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: on Ukraine? One hundred and fifty billion dollars of our

205
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: taxpayer dollars? Is it way more than that? It's approaching

206
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: a trillion. I think, before all is said and done,

207
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: is how much we're gonna spend if basically we've created

208
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: trench warfare. The idea that we're going to have some

209
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 4: huge moment of Ukrainian victory doesn't feel very soon. And

210
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: if that's not the case, remember how much time have

211
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: you heard out there is you're listening to us, how

212
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 4: much time did you hear people talk about, Oh, this

213
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 4: coming Ukrainian summer offensive, it's going to change everything. The

214
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: counter offensive. It hasn't worked, nothing's happened so far.

215
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: Basically, I said it early on. I said this is

216
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: going to cost a trillion dollars. Yep, it's going to

217
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: cost the United States. When all is said and done,

218
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: we're going to spend a trillion dollars in this war

219
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: in Ukraine. I know that sounds well less crazy now

220
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: than it even did a year ago. But you're looking

221
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: at what one hundred billion a year already, and that

222
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: number could pretty rapidly escalate depending on how things shake out.

223
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: So okay, maybe it's not trillion, maybe it's four or

224
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: five hundred billion. Now now we're talking about a number

225
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: that I think anybody can see how it would get

226
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: to that pretty quickly. What exactly are we getting in

227
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: all this? What is the end goal? They don't even

228
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: tell us what the end goal is here. If it's

229
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: every Russian soldier out of every inch of the Dawn

230
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Bass and Crimea, there's no chance that's going to happen.

231
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: Unless NATO wants to go to war with Russia. The

232
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Ukrainians will not be able to pull that off. So

233
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: if it's not that, what is it? What are we

234
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: trying to accomplish? What are we trying to achieve? What

235
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: would Zelensky be willing to take on behalf of Ukrainian

236
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: autonomy to end the war with Russia? We don't know

237
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: our leaders in a Biden administration. Does anybody think for

238
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: a second that Joe Biden is like the second coming

239
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: of you know, Tali Rand here and he has some

240
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: grand strategy in mind Machiavelli. He is not. He has

241
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: no idea what the hell is going on. He's just

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: going to do whatever the system around and tells him

243
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: to do. And they're very powerful voices for the military

244
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: industrial complex that are all in on you know, Slava

245
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: Ukraine and send all the munitions, and all of a

246
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: sudden it becomes very obvious to them, and you know,

247
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: you don't really hear a lot of people I think

248
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: focusing in on the fundamental problem here, Clay, which is

249
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: what are we trying to achieve? What is victory? If

250
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: you don't know what victory is, what are you fighting for?

251
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: They can say, Oh, it's preventing Russian victory. That's not

252
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: enough because then it never ends.

253
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: Also, if you're in Russia, at what point does oh,

254
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: the United States is not actually fighting, but we're providing

255
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: all of the weapon material that's killing tens of thousands

256
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 4: of Russians. If the United States we're dealing with tens

257
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: of thousands of deaths, would we consider China to not

258
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: be a combatant if China was giving all of the

259
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: weapons to someone that was killing us. We are combatants

260
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: in this war. We got to have boots on the

261
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 4: ground in a traditional sense, but we're combatants. We are

262
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 4: in this war, and it doesn't feel like it's ending

263
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: anytime soon. And in worse than that, Buck to your point,

264
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like there's an impetus to even figure out.

265
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: What peace might look like. And to me, that's where

266
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: we should be right now.

267
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: Economist and best selling author doctor Nomi Prince has a

268
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: warning for us all. She notes a select group of

269
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: financial elites are plotting a drastic action unlike anything we've

270
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: seen since nineteen seventy one. Who's involved, well, people in

271
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: the White House as well as people associated with the

272
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: World Economic Forum. Even Bill Gates is involved. According to

273
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: her research, our ability to spend, borrow, save, and invest

274
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: could soon be restricted with the push of a button.

275
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: She believes that our financial system is about to be

276
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: transformed in a way that would have been unthinkable just

277
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: a few years ago. And it all starts this month.

278
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: Bank of America is calling it inevitable. If you've got

279
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600

Speaker 4: I also want to tell you as we break down

316
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 4: everything there extreme weather conditions this summer. That's also coupled

317
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: with worldwide fertilizer shortages. We got a lot higher food

318
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: prices coming, which is now makes it a great time

319
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: to stock up at my Patriot Supply, the nation's largest

320
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: food preparedness company. Having an extra supply of food on

Speaker 2: we have with us now the governor of Florida so

334
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: running in the Republican president of presidential primary. Governor of Santis.

335
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for being with us.

336
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 5: Hey, how y'all doing.

337
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: We're good, sir, We're good. Tell us how you feel

338
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: this point in the race. A lot of polls out there,

339
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: a lot of people asking questions. I know you had

340
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: to take some of those questions over the weekend over

341
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: at Fox from Ria Bartiromo. What do you think your

342
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: campaign's doing right? And what are you looking to do

343
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: more of? What are you going to change?

344
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting, it's pretty clear, and not just in

345
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: the recent weeks. I mean really, since we won reelection

346
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: by so much last November, we have been the target

347
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 5: of the corporate media. They clearly do not want me

348
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 5: to be the nominee. And I think it's because they

349
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 5: know that I would beat Biden soundly. But more importantly

350
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: than that, they know that I will actually accomplish the

351
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 5: big things that we know need to be accomplished in

352
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 5: this country. You know, we'll shut down the border, we'll

353
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 5: reverse Biden economics, we'll do all the things that so

354
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 5: many Americans want to see done. So that's all part

355
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 5: of their narrative and they're going to continue doing that,

356
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: you know, no matter what happens. Look, the way we

357
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 5: view it is you're competing an individual contest. There's not

358
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 5: a national primary, there's state by state, and so we've

359
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 5: worked really hard to develop the type of support on

360
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 5: the grassroots level in places like Iowa, New Hampshire, South

361
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: Carolina that really can propel a candidate to victory. I

362
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 5: think we've already announced thirty seven Iowa state legislators, including

363
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 5: some of the leaders in both the House and Senate.

364
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 5: We've got conservative activists, faith leaders, all these important people

365
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 5: that can help bring this message to bear, and so

366
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 5: a lot of over the summer we always anticipated, would

367
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 5: we be doing a lot of that laborious work that

368
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 5: isn't as newsworthy maybe, but ultimately that's what leads to

369
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 5: I think a winning campaign. And so we're excited about

370
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: the progress. We understand that there's a lot more to do,

371
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: but we are focusing on how you actually accumulate the

372
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: DEALTHETS rather than kind of the national stuff that gets

373
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 5: put out there, which, as you know, we don't have

374
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 5: a national primary.

375
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: I'm sure I know that you even read court opinions.

376
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: I'm told by your staff for fun, which is a

377
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: which is a law school nerd thing that I think

378
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: you've kept up with, and sometimes I do the same.

379
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: And on July fourth, we had I think one of

380
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: the most consequential federal court rulings of the of the

381
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: entire COVID era, with the Judge Dowty opinion about Biden

382
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 4: coordination as it pertained to censorship, relating to COVID, relating

383
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 4: to so many different issues as president. How important is

384
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: this issue because I actually think it's maybe the most important.

385
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: If we can't say what we actually think in our

386
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 4: government's trying to censor us. What did you think of

387
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 4: that opinion? What needs to happen to keep the federal

388
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: government out of censoring the political opinions of anybody, Democrat,

389
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 4: Republican or independent in your mind?

390
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: Well, the decision was right on target. I mean, as

391
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: you guys know, the federal government cannot censor speech. It's

392
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: a First Amendment, that's the core of it. And so

393
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 5: we know that, and so just as they could not

394
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 5: do a law to say you can't oppose COVID lockdowns,

395
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 5: or you can't oppose mass mandates. They can't subcontract out

396
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 5: that censorship to private entities. That's still every bit as

397
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: much a violation of the First Amendment if they're doing

398
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: indirectly what they cannot do directly. So I don't think

399
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 5: the Court could have come to any other conclusion. Now,

400
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 5: in Florida, we've actually taken legislative action to prevent state

401
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 5: and local government employees from colluding with tech companies or

402
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 5: any media company for the purpose of censoring speech. And

403
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 5: we think that that's an important line in the sand

404
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 5: that needs to be drawn, and you have to hold

405
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 5: people accountable if they cross that line in the sand.

406
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 5: So we will do something similar, maybe we get Congress

407
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 5: to do, but I don't even know if you need

408
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 5: to do that. We will make it very clear that

409
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 5: as president, when you're working with tech companies to try

410
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 5: to stifle dissent, you are abusing your power and you

411
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 5: are infringing on the constitutional rights of American citizens, and

412
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: you will be shown the door. You got to start

413
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: firing these malevolent bureaucrats. You can't just let them continue

414
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 5: to take more and more of our freedom. And I

415
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 5: agree with you guys, this is a fundamental issue because

416
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: the Left ultimately wants to dominate every institution in this country,

417
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 5: and they have dominated a lot of them up to

418
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 5: this point, not in Florida because we fought back, but

419
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 5: across the country, and they want to impose an orthodoxy.

420
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 5: And so back during COVID, if you posted an article

421
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: in those early days criticizing lockdowns, tech companies would pull

422
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 5: it down. We had one of our YouTube videos. I

423
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 5: had a panel of eminent scientists, people like doctor Bodicharia

424
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: from Stanford early in COVID saying kids needed to be

425
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 5: in school and they should not be forced to mask.

426
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: Google YouTube took that video down. So there was a

427
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 5: concerted effort to use massive amounts of power, both corporate

428
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 5: and government, to impose an official narrative on the country.

429
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: And first of all, that's just not what a free

430
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: society's all about. But it's also, as you guys know,

431
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: the official narrative coming out of our elites is almost

432
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 5: always wrong and it's almost always destructive to a healthy society.

433
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: Governor de Santis, Bidenomics is something that's being talked about

434
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 2: by the regime and power right now, President Biden offering

435
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: up a version of what the economy is. What's your

436
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: sense of what's going on right now in the US economy,

437
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: and what would you do if you were president to

438
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: get things going the way they should be.

439
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 5: So Bidenomics basically means you pay more for everything, your

440
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: standard of living goes down, ultimately to the benefit of

441
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: places like communist China. But it's important to identify kind

442
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 5: of where all this goes back to. You know, the

443
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: root of this was the COVID lockdowns and the fauciism,

444
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 5: and then they did the massive two trillion dollars spending

445
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: plan borrow spending two trillion. In March of twenty twenty,

446
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: you had a massive printing of money by the Federal Reserve.

447
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 5: Then December of twenty twenty another two point two trillion.

448
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 5: Then March of twenty twenty one, Biden did two trillion,

449
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: and they've done more and more and more. You cannot

450
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 5: inject that much borrowing, printing, and spending into the economy

451
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: and not have persistent inflation. So they were warned about

452
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 5: doing this, and yet they barreled ahead with it anyways,

453
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: And so this has really been a government induced economic

454
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 5: problem crisis in terms of affordability, and so one of

455
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: the things you got to do. One, we're going to

456
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 5: reverse Bidenomics, which is basically the politicization of the economy.

457
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: They want things like ESG, they want the Green New Deal.

458
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 5: They want you to have to bend a knee to

459
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 5: left wing ideology to be able to participate in the economy.

460
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 5: That's not going to work, and it's going to mean

461
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 5: less freedom for everybody in a lower standard of living.

462
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 5: So we will do that, but we've got to ensure

463
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: that the Congress is not allowed to spend like drunken sailors.

464
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 5: When they spend at this level, you are just not

465
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 5: going to end up having inflation b where it needs

466
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: to be. We're now fifty percent more in terms of

467
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 5: spending on federal agencies than just twenty nineteen alone. Does

468
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 5: anybody out there feel like they're that much better off?

469
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: Because the bureaucracy has grown so much and these agencies

470
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 5: failed agencies like CDC and NIH have been stuffed with

471
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 5: more borrowed money. No, everybody knows this has been a

472
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: colossal waste, but it's had huge impact on the economy.

473
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: We're also going to open up American domestic energy production.

474
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: It's good for our national security to be energy independent.

475
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 5: It's good for our industrial base to be permitting more pipelines,

476
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 5: have more projects underway. It's absolutely good for jobs as well,

477
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 5: and it will help reduce inflation because if you look

478
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 5: about where energy is factored into this, Biden basically squandered

479
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: a lot of the strategic petroleum reserve, which artificially kept

480
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: the price a little lower than it otherwise would have been.

481
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: Time may be running out on that and you may

482
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 5: see spikes and energy and if that's the case, inflation

483
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 5: we'll go back up again. So I think that that's

484
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: really really important. And then you also need to rip

485
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 5: out the bureaucratic excess. Yes, part of it is the

486
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: weaponization and the deep state, but it's also just a massive,

487
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: massive overreach of these bureaucrats where they want to tell

488
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 5: you what kind of car you can drive, they want

489
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 5: to tell you what kind of energy you can use.

490
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 5: With never having stood for election and not accountable to

491
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: the American people. It's a distortion of constitutional government. It's

492
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 5: also terrible for economic growth.

493
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: Last question for you.

494
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: We know you're busy making your case all over the

495
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 4: country front not front page, I don't think, but a

496
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 4: big article in the Wall Street Arnald. The headline is

497
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: Disney World hasn't felt this empty in years, says July fourth,

498
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: ten year Low. They're having trouble getting people to show

499
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: up at disney World and disney Land. The movies and

500
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: I know you got young kids. The movies that they've

501
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: been putting out, the Pixar movies are collapsing. Even the

502
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: recent Indiana Jones did not do well. Do you think

503
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: Disney is getting bud lighted by many people out there

504
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: if you were giving them advice on what would make

505
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: sense going forward from a business perspective, It feels to

506
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 4: me like Disney has gone woke and Bob Iger is

507
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: now paying the consequences.

508
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Do you see it that way?

509
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you, as parents of six, five and

510
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: three year old kids, my wife and I really believe

511
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 5: that parents should be able to send their kids to school,

512
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 5: let them watch cartoons without having an agenda shoved down

513
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 5: their throat. That's why we stood up to Disney with

514
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 5: respect to our Parents' Rights and Education Bill, and I

515
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: think that it is impacting parents' willingness to want to

516
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 5: take their kids to the Disney stuff. The sad part

517
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: about it, guys, is when we were having this fight

518
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: with Disney on twenty twenty two, most of the employees

519
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 5: in their Orlando area theme parks they agreed with us.

520
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 5: I want Osciola County for the first time a Republican's

521
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 5: done in a generation by seven percent, which is where

522
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 5: the majority of Disney employees live. So this is really

523
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 5: a cadre of woke executives in Burbank trying to impose

524
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 5: this agenda down on the rest of the company. I

525
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 5: think it's been catastrophic. My advice would just be, look

526
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: what made Disney kind of the all American company under

527
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: Walt and beyond was a focus on family, a focus

528
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 5: on you know, traditional pro American values. They would never

529
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: have wanted to sexualize children the way Disney has gone

530
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 5: down this. So they just have to look in the

531
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 5: mirror understand first of all, it's wrong. Second of all,

532
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 5: people aren't buying this, and it is ultimately to the

533
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: detriment of the company. It's in the best interest of

534
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: Disney shareholders that they get refocused on their previous core

535
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 5: mission and get the woke out of there. And it

536
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 5: goes beyond when you start talking about kids, because some

537
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: of the woke in society is kind of annoying, and

538
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes you just kind of roll your eyes

539
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 5: when you start talking about our kids. That's when parents

540
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 5: really really rise up and respond. And I think it's

541
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 5: sad that that's the case, but they have no einglely

542
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 5: chosen to go down this road. And I can tell

543
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: you in Florida, you know, we're one of the few

544
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: places where we've stood up to these woke companies in

545
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 5: defense of parents and children. I get criticized by a

546
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 5: lot of Republicans for having done that, but I'll tell ya,

547
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: I would do it again, and it was the right

548
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: thing to do.

549
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,760

569
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I do

570
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 4: think Buck, it's worth hitting again that headline that I

571
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: just asked Desantas about.

572
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: Look out below.

573
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 4: If you're a Disney stockholder, stock is basically same price

574
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: it has been for nine years, and they now look

575
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: the entire business has been held up by amusement park receipts,

576
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: the amount of people they've kept charging more and more.

577
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: If your mom or grandma, dad, grandpa, and you've been

578
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: paying to go to Disney World or Disneyland, you know

579
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. They've been charging more and more

580
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: to help cover up for the fact that their other

581
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: entertainment assets are underperforming in a substantial way, and so

582
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: suddenly the fact that the amusement parks are not crowded

583
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: is a sign I think that they could be getting

584
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: bud lighted. One bit of news out there. The heroic

585
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: in my opinion, District Court judge that we also just

586
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: talked about with Ron DeSantis has refused a Judge Dowdy

587
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: down in Louisiana has refused the United States government request

588
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: that they stay his ruling. In other words, that the

589
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: impact of his finding that there was in fact going

590
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 4: to be major issues with censorship, First Amendment issues, everything else,

591
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 4: it's been rejected, so it will remain in force. That

592
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 4: means that the government can't have its meetings right now

593
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: with many different big tech companies. So that is again

594
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 4: another win from Judge Dowdy as he breaks everything down.

595
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: Also wanted to play are good friends at the View

596
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: and a Navarro? What do you think she ranks on

597
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: the dumbness scale on the View?

598
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Buck?

599
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: How many women are there five you're talking about on

600
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: the view in general?

601
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

602
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: Ranking them for stupidity on the view. Like, I think

603
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: you would agree with me that Joy Behar is the

604
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: dumbest on the View, right, She is the dimmest.

605
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: She is the least. She says the most consistently unintelligible.

606
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: She's right, she's.

607
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: The most ignorant. But she is a comedian, so.

608
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Your expectation is lower for her.

609
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean, not how I would phrase it, but to

610
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: any of the comedians out there. But she's she's not

611
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: meant to know very much. Anna Navarro is supposed to

612
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: be a political consultant. Yes, and so I think there's

613
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: a strong argument you can make that she is actually

614
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: the dumbest. I think that interesting.

615
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Well, so she is now claiming Buck that

616
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: she drives around in Florida with the window down, leaning out, screaming.

617
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: We say gay when she visits Florida. Listen to this.

618
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 6: It wasn't me in New Hampshire streaming we say gay.

619
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 6: I want to have I try to do it every

620
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 6: time I'm anywhere near Rond de Santas or any of

621
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 6: his people. I just like, I go around like a

622
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 6: dog in Florida with my head outside of my car.

623
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: We say gay.

624
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 6: We say hey, we say.

625
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 4: I mean this is you live in Miami, Buck, It's

626
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 4: I think that gay people are are not safe in Florida.

627
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: Like this is one of the craziest things that's out there,

628
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 4: is this idea that gay people are somehow unsafe or

629
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 4: or unable to live their lives in Florida.

630
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Miami has one of the most uh uh

631
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: storied and thriving gay communities of certainly any southern city

632
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: or you know, south of you, south of the Masons.

633
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 4: The West is basically the gayest town in America. Yeah,

634
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 4: oh yeah, there's there's also Key West. I was thinking

635
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 4: of Miami South Beach, but yeah, and the Claient.

636
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: It's this notion that there's an assault on gay people

637
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: in Florida. Is it's so it's so wrong. It's not

638
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: even enough to just say it's wrong. It's it's an

639
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: anti truth. It's the exact it's the far opposite of

640
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: the truth, Like there's no substance to it whatsoever. And

641
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: so therefore to say it is to really undermine the ability,

642
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: I think of anyone to take anyone on the view

643
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: seriously at all. I mean, if they could in the

644
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: first place, which I guess they probably.

645
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she's referencing, I think the allegation that at

646
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: the July fourth Parade in New Hampshire that Ron DeSantis

647
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 4: and Casey DeSantis walked in. Some people screamed, like, we

648
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: say gay, but there is no prohibition on saying it.

649
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 4: This is when it's such a good point by you there, Buck.

650
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 4: It's like the NAACP's travel band when they said, oh,

651
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: if you're black, you're not safe in Florida, and Florida

652
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 4: has a huge black population and people of all races

653
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 4: travel to Florida all the time. This was just a

654
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: total lie and the idea that gay people are in

655
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 4: some way not accepted or you aren't able to say gay.

656
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 4: It's as big a lie as the as the imaginary

657
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 4: book bands that they complain about as well. But it's

658
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: hard to argue with people who don't live in reality

659
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: play and democrats don't live in reality
