1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: I got a thesis for you, Buck, I'm curious if 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: you would buy it.

Still getting adjusted to 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: seeing him with a very clear wedding ring on the 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: left hand as he's gesticulating during the course of the 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: program's brand there is brand new world for everybody who's 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: a VIP subscriber.

Hope you guys had a great time. So 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: big thesis here. I think the biggest legacy of Trump, 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: and I understand he may still be president in twenty 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: twenty four and we may have to adjust what that 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: legacy is. But I think to a huge majority of Americans, 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Republicans and independence what Donald Trump exposed in the new 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: in the news media, and obviously with the coinage of 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: the phrase fake news, is just how illegitimate, untrustworthy, and 19 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: flat out biased the news media really is. And I'm 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: not talking about people who share opinions. You and I 21 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: share opinions every day. People can accept them, they can 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: reject them. We're not claiming to be completely nonpartisan right 23 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: down the middle. We're just here to tell you what 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: the news is, as many people in the news do. 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: And I saw this clip from Axios this morning and 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: I screenshot at it because it struck me as so interesting, 27 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: and in particular it shows and the graphic is phrased 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: as Americans who say the US news media is unfavorable, 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: and it's broken down by party, seventy nine percent of 30 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Republicans effectively say that the news media is a joke. 31 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: But Independence buck is all the way up to sixty 32 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: six percent, So there's not very much difference now between 33 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: how Republicans and Independence see the news media. Meanwhile, Democrats, 34 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: only twenty eight percent of Democrats have an unfavorable opinion 35 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: of the news media, and that is, I think because 36 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: by and large Democrat false news narratives are propagated by 37 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: people who claim to be unbiased journalist, and so Democrats, 38 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: even if they don't acknowledge it, are being seeing their 39 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: opinions reflected in the news media, and Republicans and Independence 40 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: increasingly are saying you know what, Trump was right. The 41 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: news media is full of crap. You know, I just 42 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: did and for anybody listening on one of our fantastic 43 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: affiliate stations across the country, a deep dive with Mary 44 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Cathery Hamm, who you also know well. And this will 45 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: go in the Clay Yeah, she's great. We'll go in 46 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: the Clay n. Buck podcast feeds. So this is again, 47 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: it's only on the podcast feeds. You've got to subscribe 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: to the Clay, Travis and Bucks Extent show podcast feed 49 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcast. 50 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: It'll go up in the next day or so. But 51 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: we talked about this Clay because she's coming to the 52 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: very end. I think she has a few days left 53 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: or for CNN contract. CNN is destroyed itself. And on 54 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: one conversation we had was was is it that did 55 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: Trump break them, you know, irretrievably or were they already 56 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: on the way to being broken? And Trump gave it 57 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: kind of the final shove. Um. But as we know, 58 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker, who really ruled over there at CNN with 59 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: a tiny iron fist. He's a guy. He's not a 60 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: large fellow. He's a guy. Who if whatever he said 61 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: was the law of the land essentially over there and 62 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: the whole place has come apart. What do you do now? 63 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Because their whole brand was similar to I think what 64 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: the New York Times brand was, which was supposed to 65 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: be gold standard journalism. That's what CNN for cable news, 66 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: was supposed to be. No serious person of any political 67 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: persuasion believes that anymore, or has believed that for at 68 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: least six years. I mean, maybe you could say you 69 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: haven't believed that for ever, but you certainly haven't believed 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: that for the last six years. And look, it was different, 71 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: it was different even six years ago. It was certainly 72 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: different fifteen or twenty years ago CNN was. And you know, 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: I think it's actually encouraging to see that the public 74 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: recognizes that what you really have are warring political machines 75 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: in the media now. And the difference is some people 76 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: tell you this is what I think, this is who 77 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: I am, this is who I support, And there's still 78 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: this sliver of legacy media that and maybe it's bigger 79 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: than a sliver, but this chunk of legacy media that 80 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: plays this game of we're just providing you with the truth. 81 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: No they are not. That is an obvious lie. I 82 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: saw this clip, and I know I shouldn't be surprised 83 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: by how incompetent sometimes quote unquote mainstream, although really it's 84 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: just a legacy. I think more than mainstream, because this 85 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: show is mainstream based on the tens of millions of 86 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: people who listen to it, you know, every month. But 87 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: when I saw this clip from Andrea Mitchell, she's interviewing 88 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and we know Kamala Harris is going to 89 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: have a crazy word salad response. But listen to this clip. 90 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: Andrea Mitchell says that Rodda Santis has banned the teaching 91 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: of the fact that slavery existed in Florida. Just listen 92 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: to this question that MSNBC put out there. This is 93 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: a question Tom. I cut her response because I'm far 94 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: less interested in her response than the fact that a 95 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: question like this could have ever existed. Listen, what does 96 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: Governor Ronda Santis not know a black history and the 97 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: black experience when he says that slavery and the aftermath 98 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: of slavery should not be taught to Florida school children. 99 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Buck he never said this. They have been teaching slavery 100 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: and the aftermath of slavery to every school child in 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: America who studies history for as long as certainly, I 102 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: bet anyone who was listening to us today has been alive. Certainly, 103 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: I went to public school in Tennessee, K through twelve, 104 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: and the fact that slavery existed was taught in school, 105 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: and the aftermath of slavery was taught in school. The 106 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: fact that Andrew Mitchell could ask that question is to 107 00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: me indicative one she is way past her prime, and 108 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know where her prime was. But that question 109 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: is so bad in terms of it just being so 110 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: foundationally inaccurate. But it's out there as if it's a 111 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: truth based on the way that she asks it, and 112 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: it's such an important failure. I mean, I think NBC 113 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: should have to apologize for that question. And yet we 114 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: both know that, if anything, that question serves her purposes 115 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: and her network's purposes entirely. The point is not the truth. 116 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: Everybody should recognize. The point is not actually telling people 117 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: what is factual. It's not being honest. It is to 118 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: cater to the biases and neuroses of the left, of 119 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: the Democrat, of the progressive, of the commie. That is 120 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: what MSNBC exists to do. And so when they ask 121 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: that question, you and I see it as well. The 122 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: question itself is a lie, but the lie is the point. 123 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: The lie is not a mistake. This is why, ever 124 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: and people see this now. It's not that they of 125 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the media translates into errors that show the bias. The 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: mission is now openly to do anything to help the 127 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Democrats on the left, and that includes lying, that includes 128 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: misrepresentations they I mean Russia collusion I think was the 129 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: biggest example of this where everybody who was a part 130 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: of that they got I was gonna say, uh what 131 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: it would not Emmy's that's for TV. Yeah, they should 132 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: have gotten Emmies for all. They would gotten emmis if 133 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: they could all the creativity in their acting. Remember, they 134 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: gave Cuomo an Emmy because of his incredible communication skills. 135 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not even made up. He's a very 136 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: good communicator. Andrew Cuomo, the governor, by the way, not 137 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo, the fired CNN host. They made a special 138 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: Emmy award for Andrew Cuomo because of his incredible communication 139 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: skills to deliver to him at the Emmys. For those 140 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: of you who have forgotten. I believe that was in 141 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: early twenty twenty one. I would all so note for 142 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: everyone that in back in the dry Mintel question for 143 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: a second, you know that there's something wrong with the 144 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: argument of the side that has to lie to make 145 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: their argument. And when they attack Ronda Santiss on these 146 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: curriculum issues, they are lying to you because you and 147 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: I will tell people agree disagree. What's going on in Ukraine. 148 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: That's a matter right now of opinion. Do you think 149 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: it's a good idea as by doing a good job 150 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: a bad job. We're not really contesting the facts. We're 151 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: contesting the judgment the wisdom of these things. Right we 152 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: all know we're sending lots of money. And in the 153 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: case of Ronda Santiss and what's going on in Florida 154 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: specifically with curriculum and the changes that were made to 155 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: an AP African American Studies curriculum, that the whole point 156 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: is that it is submitted for people in you know, 157 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: who are supposed to do this, to look at it 158 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, okay, so they're not going to teach 159 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: a queer gender theory as part of this AP curriculum. 160 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: They're still teaching African American studies, they're still teaching all 161 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: the same historical facts. They must lie about it in 162 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: order to make their argument, because if people knew what 163 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: was really going on in Florida, not only would they 164 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: say that seems sensible, they might say a premise of 165 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: a question, which is one hundred percent a lie, that 166 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: they aren't teaching slavery or slavery's aftermath in Florida's schools, 167 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: and that ron Sts de Santis has prohibited it. How 168 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: does that question ever reach Andrea Mitchell, I'm betting at 169 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: seventy six years old, and there's certainly an argument, by 170 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: the way that just like politicians who are over seventy five, 171 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: as NICKI Haley said, need to go in for cognitive treatment, 172 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: what a journalist, I think as well, are past their 173 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: prime in terms of being able to ask questions. She 174 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: should have had an alarm belt go off in her 175 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: head if one of her staffers gave this question and said, 176 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm asking a question premised on the 177 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: idea that they aren't teaching that slaveristen, which then leads 178 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: to whatever word salad response Kamala Harris gives. Because Andrea 179 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: Mitchell failed in her job. And I think this ties 180 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: in buck to a large extent with why so many 181 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: people out there do not trust the media, Because if 182 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: we had Andrea Mitchell on today, she would be saying, Oh, 183 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: I'm nonpartisan. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm 184 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: a registered independent. I guarantee that would be her answer 185 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: when she was asked about this interview. Well, then, how 186 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: do you make that egregious of an error in one 187 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: of the premises of your questions which completely undercuts your 188 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: ability to be taken seriously. But this brings me back 189 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: to it's not an error. Yeah, well it's it's only 190 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: an error if you care about the facts, Clay. And 191 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: they don't care about the facts. So they're actually doing 192 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: the job the way they're they're supposed to do it. 193 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: That's how this works, and that's why I think she 194 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: deserves to be ripped to the high heavens, because she's 195 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: holding herself out there as an unbiased journalist who is 196 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: not committed to one side or the other. I don't 197 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: care about Rachel Maddow right Joy read. They might say 198 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: stupid things on MSNBC, but they're clearly opinionated partisans who 199 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: are acting, and that's the entire basis of their show. 200 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: The Andrea Mitchell's of the world are destroying journalism because 201 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: they're pretending that they aren't partisan hacks. I think that 202 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: it's good for everyone to see that the supposed neutral 203 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: space and objectivity of journalism, just like the supposed neutral 204 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: space and objectivity of so many institutions, professions, you name, 205 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: it is a myth. It is a fable that one 206 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: side was telling the country for its own political advantage, 207 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: and it has fallen away. It's collapsed to a large extent, 208 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to follow it. But Andrew 209 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Mitchell should be ashamed of herself. Tunnel the Towers delivers 210 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: on its promise, this foundation to do good and never 211 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: forget the sacrifices America's heroes and made for US heroes 212 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: like US Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Israel del Toro Junior. 213 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: He promised his father he'd take care of his family, 214 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: and he promised his son that he'd be there with 215 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: him as he grew up. When his humby exploded in Afghanistan, 216 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: he suffered severe burns over more than eighty percent of 217 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: his body, with only a fifteen percent chance of survival. 218 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: Del Toro focused on the promises he made to his family. Later, 219 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: he became the first fully disabled airmen permitted to Reenlist 220 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: and a gold medal winner in the Invictus Games. Now 221 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: he shares his story to help others. Thanks to the 222 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers Foundation, in your generosity, del Toro received 223 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: a mortgage free smart home.

We started out the show talking a 231 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: bit about Biden's speech today in Poland, and Biden really 232 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: does have this, he has this habit, and I think 233 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: we have sound bite of him here saying it that 234 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: he's somebody who he does this weird. Oh, I identify 235 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: with this certain community. Let's play play clip three. Here 236 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: this is Biden in Poland. Here play three The connection 237 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: between Polish and American people is extremely strong and deep. 238 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: I was kidding with the president. I was as a 239 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: young man. I was born in a cool town of 240 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: scram in Pennsylvania, northeastern Pennsylvania, an Irish Castolic neighborhood. Then 241 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: when Cole died, we moved down to Delaware to a 242 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: town called Claimont, Delaware, which was a working class town. 243 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: And but everyone in town was either Polish or Italian. 244 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: I grew up throwing self conscious my name s ki 245 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: are known, Okay, So so Biden was self conscious that 246 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: his he didn't have a Polish last name. Grew up 247 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: in and among the Puerto Rican community of Delaware, which 248 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: he says is very large, and also there cannot be 249 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: very many Puerto Ricans in Delaware. He also grew up, 250 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: he claimed, there's I've just seen the audio of this. 251 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: He grew up going to a black church. Yes, so 252 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Biden wished he was Polish, grew up among the Puerto 253 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Ricans of Delaware and attended a black church in his youth. 254 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Or he just makes up all these stories and everyone 255 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: lets it go because he's a cloud. Joe Biden might 256 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: be the biggest liar in presidential history, by which I 257 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: mean Everything that he says is easily refutable, right, like 258 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: the whole Cornpop story, which I think maybe the wildest 259 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: story that any president has ever told in my lifetime. 260 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: Just delusional, clearly riddled with dementia. But yes, Biden claims 261 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: that he has ethnic connections with every different group in America. 262 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: And the black church thing is really wild because he 263 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: says it and there's no evidence that it ever occurred. 264 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, you know, he went to Africa 265 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: and claimed that he got son died in Iraq, serving 266 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: there didn't happen. He continues to lie about that. He 267 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: said his wife got run into by a drunk driver. 268 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: He's already had to drop out of one presidential run 269 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: because of plagiarism. He said that Barack Obama was one 270 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: of the most first black guy who was nice into articulate. 271 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: Remember that it's killed his two thousand and eight campaign. 272 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's at clown, totally true.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck 288 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Sex didn't show. We had Nicki Haley on the show Friday, 289 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: I believe, and the weeks she announced she's now officially 290 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: running for president of the United States. Buck, you missed 291 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: our good friend Don Lemon saying that Nicky Haley was 292 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: pastor prime because she was not in her twenties, thirties 293 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: or forties, which was frankly ridiculous and funny. And now 294 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: Don Lemon is going to have to enter into a 295 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: form of training. I don't know what. There was not 296 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: explained what sensitivity training. Don Lemon is going to have 297 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: to enter. Although I would love to watch Don Lemon 298 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: having to take sensitivity training. I mean that would actually 299 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: be probably be a higher rated show than the morning 300 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: show that he's currently on, which is floundering for CNN. 301 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: But it was part and parcel of a pretty direct 302 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: and consistent attack on Nicky Haley. But I thought MSNBC 303 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: was actually the worst because they essentially reran the La 304 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Times headline of Larry Elder, who was the black face 305 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: of white supremacy. If you if you remember that La 306 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: Times sterling article, here was Nicky Haley getting attacked for 307 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: being a brown face and a white supremacist body or 308 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: something listening for white supremacists and racist. She's a perfect 309 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: mansure in Kennedy. And instead of applauding her, I am 310 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: just disgusted by people like Nicki Haley who know better. 311 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: What does she do? Like all these model minorities, which, 312 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: by the way, is a strategy of white supremacy to 313 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: use Asians in particular as a cudgel against black folks. 314 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: Instead of pulling us up from the bootstraps and pulling 315 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: others from the bootstrap, we're taught to take your boot 316 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: and put it on the neck of poor brown's, immigrants, 317 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: refugees and black folks, and that's what she did in 318 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: her ad. So I see her and I feel sad 319 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: Mandy because she uses her brown skin as a weapon 320 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: against poor black folks and poor brown folks, and she 321 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: uses her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points. 322 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this person is a lunatic. Can we just 323 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: but this is mainstream thinking on the left now that 324 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: you can say things like this, and that you can 325 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: accuse non white people who speak about merit, hard work, 326 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: the meritocracy, the growth and rather the growth, possibilities and 327 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: promise of America and land of opportunity, any of that stuff, 328 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: and you can be accused by the left as a 329 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: non white person of speaking in favor of white supremacy. 330 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: First of all, I mean Nicky Haley is somebody who 331 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: pulled down the Confederate flag, right, I mean that when 332 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: she was governor, which I you know, which, by the way, 333 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: there as some people will say, who you know, there 334 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: are people who argue about that whole thing, and that's 335 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying you would think that they would 336 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: have to give one example, or they should at least 337 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: give one example in what way is she a white supremacist. 338 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: Now I'm not a big fan of Nicky Haley policies, 339 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: but she's not a white supremacist. And it is abhorren 340 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: to say that and to get away with it. But 341 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, the left has created such a narrative on 342 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: the issues. They used to use the term intersectionality, you know, 343 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: which really that kind of dropped intersectionality is their view 344 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: of the world, which is that all groups, all races, 345 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: all genders are in a interlocking series of oppressive states 346 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: with each other, or oppressive levels with each other. Some 347 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: are more oppressed than others. Everybody's at some pyramid of victimization. 348 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: It's a pyramid of victimization. Intersectionality. They've stopped using that 349 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: phrase because it didn't really catch on, but that really 350 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: is how they see the world, and it does force 351 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: a lot of us to sit here and say, why 352 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: are they so spiteful and why are their arguments so weak? 353 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: On the left, it's racist to ug somebody based on 354 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: the color of their skin. Democrats are racist, right, Like 355 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 1: this argument circle that we're in right now, buck is 356 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the things that are said on the 357 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: left now would have been talking points in nineteen fifties 358 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: America for racist right. They they've come full circle to 359 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: readopt many of the same talking points, right. I mean, 360 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: if you think about the idea of universities, for instance, 361 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: as having segregated spaces where the races must be separated, 362 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: we were kind of back to that separation of the 363 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: races argument. It's crazy. Also, this ties in with the 364 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: argument that we saw thursday. I think it was in 365 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: the Georgia Legislature of last week that it would that 366 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas wasn't Uncle Tom and that was why he 367 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: could That's literally what they said on the floor the 368 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: Georgia Legislature, and therefore he didn't deserve to have his 369 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: statue in the pantheon of heroes there in Georgia, despite 370 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: the fact that he grew up in poverty and risen 371 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: all the way to the Supreme Court. But two big 372 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: points here that I think utterly refute the idea of 373 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: America as a racist country. One, think about how many immigrants, 374 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: who are all by and large brown skinned, right percentage wise, 375 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: are willing to die to get here. That would seem 376 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: like a really poor choice if you were going to 377 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: a supremely racist country. Second, and I think this needs 378 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: to be hammered home. I wish more Republican elected officials 379 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: would discuss it. Do you know who the highest earning 380 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: race and ethnicity is in the United States today? Asian? 381 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: Asian men are making about fifty percent more than white people. 382 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: Asian women now have passed white men, I believe on 383 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: weekly earnings as well. That would seem to be a 384 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: huge flaw in white supremacy. If Asian, many of whom 385 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: recently immigrated this country, he can now make more money 386 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: than white people. Well, that's also as you heard there 387 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: from that commentator. Why they say the model minority, model 388 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: minority framework, which is used as a tool of white supremacy. 389 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: This is fascinating. The white supremacist system of America that 390 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: the Left rails against elevates non white individuals on such 391 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: a massive level that they out earned their white counterparts 392 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: now nationwide in some categories. And that's all some big scheme, 393 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: it's not because we actually just have a land of 394 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: opportunity where if you work hard, stay married, go through school, 395 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: get married, stay married, go through school. All the social 396 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: socioeconomic data you can show proves that there are a 397 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: few things you can do, you will not be in poverty, 398 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: you will be in the middle class, and you'll keep 399 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: rising through the middle class. There is no refutation to 400 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: this other than race is a racism. They scream racism 401 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: all the time, and in this case now they're screaming 402 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: that there's a scheme. Who's behind the scheme, by the way, 403 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: to use the model minority narrative to make it seem 404 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: like there's actually opportunity in America when there isn't for 405 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: all minorities. But see, this is just insane, because no, 406 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: that is the model minority situation as they call it, 407 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: model minority shows that I mean Nigerian Americans out or 408 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: Nigerian immigrants to America out earn the average American household. 409 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: Is that also some scheme of the white supremacist Right. 410 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: What's also funny, buck, is if Nicky Haley had lost 411 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: her race to be the Republican governor of South Carolina, 412 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: they would have said she lost because Republicans wouldn't embrace 413 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: and woman of Indian descent in that state because of 414 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: racism and sexism. Right, And so she wins, and then 415 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: the argument becomes, well, she's just a cover for the 416 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: racism and said they're going to argue racism and sexism 417 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: no matter what you know when you go and read 418 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: some of the great anti Soviet writers and dissidents. So 419 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: you go and read souls aniets In I think probably 420 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: they're great, one of the most important authors of the 421 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: twentieth century, right up there with George Orwell and a 422 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: number of others. But you read them, clay it and 423 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: one thing that comes across is that in a Soviet system, 424 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: everything comes back to this unfalsifiable logic of whatever we 425 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: say has to be true and write shut up. There's 426 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: no actual persuasion, there's no facts, logic, anything else. It's 427 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: shut up. The revolution is all that you need to know. 428 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: And there's a very similar mindset with the diversity, equity 429 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: and inclusion crowd, where it's effectively a religious It's a 430 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: secular religious belief that is unfalsifiable, the answer to all things, 431 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: and even when it falls into self contradiction, it is 432 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: still the only answer that is acceptable. Just like with 433 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: the Soviets when they were asked, oh well, if our 434 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: system is so much better, why do the factories produce 435 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: so much less? That's counter revolutionary rhetoric. You must be 436 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: an enemy of the state. In our case, it's if 437 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: our system is so racist, why do so many immigrants 438 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: do so well and want to come here. Mah, sounds 439 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: like you're an enemy of the state. Clay sounds kind 440 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: of racist. Ook this have seized control of America's schools. 441 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: Now a group of investment firms that Americans and trust 442 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: with our pensions and retirements, are playing woke politics with 443 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: your money without our knowledge or consent. A few large 444 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: investment firms I'm talking about names you know who controlled 445 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars of your money, are using those dollars 446 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: to advance their woke ideology through a progressive social scoring 447 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: program called e SG. They claim it promotes corporate responsibility. 448 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: What they're really doing, though, is using americans hard earned 449 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: money to finance their political agenda, forcing businesses to comply 450 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: or else. Some state leaders are fighting back and more 451 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: are joining, letting those investment firms know they can't play 452 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: politics with our pensions. They can either do their jobs, 453 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: maximize returns for shareholders, or get lost.

People are 467 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: fleeing from New York to Florida and in other places 468 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: because of high taxes and out of control crime, not 469 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: because of governor.

Look, 477 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: Trump has areas. We're gonna We're gonna keep saying this. 478 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: This is in the calling balls in strikes category. All right, 479 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: there are places where Trump can make the case, there 480 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: are fair game places for him to attack ron Desantists. 481 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: The Desantists isn't a good governor and Republicans aren't moving 482 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: there because of him. Lying is a is a zero. 483 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: It is a massive failure. It will do nothing to 484 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: help him. I don't know who's advising him. They are 485 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: advising former President Trump poorly on this. He is being 486 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: poorly advised with this line of attack. Here's another one 487 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 1: right before that, also attacking to Santis. So interesting to 488 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: watch Fox News cover the small and unenthusiastic one hundred 489 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: and thirty nine person crowd in Staten Island, Ford to Santis, 490 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: but stay as far away as possible from coverage of 491 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: the thousands of people many unable to get in at 492 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: the Club forty seven event in West Palm Beach, Florida. 493 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: I call Fox News the Rhino Network, and their down 494 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: big ratings accurately reflect the name if fake News CNN 495 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: was smart, which they're not. They go conservative and all 496 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: Trump all the time like in twenty sixteen and become 497 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: a ratings juggernaut Trump on truth social I did say 498 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: earlier today thing that percent agree with. He said that 499 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: he agrees with the mental competency test idea that Nicki 500 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: Haley had floated out for people to prove that they 501 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: are you capable of being president of United States. I 502 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: would point out that's also the entire purpose of elections, 503 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: is that the desire of the election is to determine 504 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: whether someone is fitting enough to be president. Now, it 505 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,239 Speaker 1: didn't work with Fetterman, it didn't work with Biden, and 506 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: I think that speaks to the intense tribalization of our 507 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: nature right now in this country that it really doesn't 508 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: even matter to a certain segment of the population the 509 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: fitness for office. It's just about Democrat or Republican. I 510 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk to everybody yet because 511 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: I was on vacation while this was going on. On honeymoon, 512 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: I should say, but the Fetterman checking himself in for 513 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: severe depression to the hospital and expected to be there 514 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: for weeks on end. Look, I'm not his mental health counselor. 515 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: I've never even met the guy. I don't know. I 516 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: do feel like the chance that this is entirely a 517 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: depression issue and in no way related to his stroke 518 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: and his problems of cognition. I think that there is 519 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: more than just depression going on. That's my sense of it. 520 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: But also that you would elect somebody to the United 521 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: States Senate who would have to be hospitalized for weeks 522 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: on end and who knows how long for severe depression. 523 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: This is somebody who could theoretically be casting a vote 524 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: for peace or war in the United States Senate. This 525 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: is somebody who is casting votes on trillions of dollars 526 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: of spending on criminal laws that could send people to 527 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: prison for decades, etc. If they're in a state emotionally 528 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: where they have to be hospitalized for weeks on end, 529 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: they should not be in the United States Senate. And 530 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: that Democrats did this just shows the ruthlessness and the 531 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: recklessness with which they approach electoral politics. I wonder what's 532 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: going to happen, because it feels highly unlikely that he's 533 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: going to be able to serve anywhere near six years. 534 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: So you now have a Democrat in the governor's office. 535 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: So if Fetterman steps down, they could potentially appoint his wife, 536 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: which has been the rumor out there for some time, 537 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: to serve the remainder of his term until they got 538 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty four, at which point Pennsylvania would have 539 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: a new senator up for reelection. There, I would just 540 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: say that the Democrat responds to this, let's say what 541 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: you said, just the outline right there happens. Democrats will 542 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: not be embarrassed by this. Their attitude about Fetterman, no 543 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: matter what will be ha ha. We pulled it off 544 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: and now we have another Democrat vote. It doesn't matter. 545 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: They do not care. It won't matter no matter what 546 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: happens to Fetterman's ability to finish shout this job. And 547 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: I just bring this up because I think that's instructive 548 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: as well for how they're going to approach Biden's reelection. 549 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: They don't care. If anything, I think they get a 550 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: little bit of glee out of the sheer cynicism, the 551 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: pure power politics of Will Biden should have a blanket 552 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: over his knees, feeding the ducks, we all know it, 553 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: And instead he's running for commander in chief for four 554 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: more years I do wonder if there are toss up votes, 555 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: and it may be that the Senate doesn't really have 556 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: any toss up votes because the House obviously is serving 557 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: as a check. A lot of things may not get 558 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: to Biden. But at what point is Fetterman going to return? 559 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: Remember he had to hospitalize himself within a month of 560 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: beginning this job, So at what point is he going 561 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: to return? Because if you factor in mansion and cinema, 562 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: still that is a situation where Democrats don't necessarily have 563 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: control of the Senate. Now, maybe there aren't going to 564 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: be that many significant issues that come up in twenty 565 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty three and before the election in twenty twenty four, 566 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to believe that Fetterman is 567 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: going to be able to fulfill any of these jobs. 568 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: And like I said, I saw, I saw our buddy 569 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: doctor Oz added a party on Saturday at the Super Bowl. 570 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: One hundred percent able to do the job, would have 571 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: been representing Pennsylvanians on the Senate floor as needed. Now, 572 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: who's your favorite children's author, Clay oh Man, I'd go 573 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: Roode Doll. We're gonna talk about him next. You can 574 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: answer the W Dixon, the hardy boys. I'm talking about 575 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: this for a reason. Stick around
