1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Welcome in Glay Travis Buck Sexton show. We are fourteen

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: hours down on the program. Fifteenth hour of the week

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: underway right now. Let me go ahead and give you

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: some ideas of how to spend your weekend. Go subscribe

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: to the Clay and Buck YouTube channel. I gave you

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: a couple of good book reviews that are up there.

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: Buck is going to be posting YouTube original videos as well.

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Soon we hope to have all three hours of the

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: program up and running there. You can also go subscribe

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: to the podcast everywhere basically there is on social media

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: you can find both Buck and myself. We are going

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to be back together on Monday. Buck is in the Highlands.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: In the mountains, we will have some more mountain reaction

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: to that. I appreciate our geologists down in Louisiana who

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: called pointing out that the Great Smoky Mountains used to

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: be twenty thousand feet above sea level. Now they are

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: around six or seven thou They used to dwarf all

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the mountains in Colorado, much to the chagrin of our

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: angry Colorado mountain caller earlier. Lots of different things, and

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: should have listened to the first couple of hours. Many

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: people still reacting to Grant Napier as he was fired

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: after twenty six years of radio work, sports talk radio work,

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: thirty two years of being the TV voice of the

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings, but for saying all lives matter, every single

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: one five years ago. He has now been rehired. We

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: talked to him in the second hour that conversation. I

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: would encourage you to go check out. It'll be posted

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: at YouTube, it'll be posted on the podcast. And we've

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: been talking about a variety of different stories all across

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: the political arena, several different stories. As we always tell you,

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: lots of court cases, rulings, decisions that are coming down.

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: We have covered this case quite a lot. We had

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: the Governor of Texas on this week. Their Democrats have

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: refused to show up. Therefore there is no quorum able

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: to be reached in the Texas legislature and now those

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Texas Democrats are subject to arrest and charges. So that

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: is going on as we speak right now. We will

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: see what happens when it comes to the Texas Democrats

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: being pursued both by Texas legal officials as well as

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: the Governor told us a referral to the FBI in

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Cash Bettel's organization to potentially chase down all of those individuals.

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: So many different stories that are out there, but I

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: wanted to build a little bit on the Grant Napier story,

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and I wanted to attempt to tie together several different

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: elements of culture and suggest that they are all leading

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: us in one positive direction. So Sidney Sweeney has been

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: a topic of conversation a great deal since the American

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Eagle ad that she was in went viral, and we've

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: talked about it quite a lot on this program. I

51
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: am quoted in Today's New York Times in a story

52
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: where they attempt to claim that no one on the

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: left actually was bothered by the Sydney Sweeney ad and

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: in reality, this was just a made up story. That's

55
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: what the New York Times says, and I'm quoted in

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: that article. I mentioned that I talked with them, But

57
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I actually think this is an interesting angle that the

58
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: New York Times took, and I think that because it

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: requires them to acknowledge that they're wrong. But they didn't

60
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: acknowledge that they were wrong. They said, oh, there isn't

61
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: anybody on the left that is actually bothered by the

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad this was all just manufactured outrage.

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: There is no basis for this story to have ever existed. Well,

64
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: this is interesting, isn't it. They're not trying to argue anymore. Oh,

65
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: those crazy left winging voices are representative of the Democrat Party.

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: They're trying to now argue, you didn't see and you

67
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't hear all of the things that you thought you

68
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: saw and that you thought you heard. The reality is

69
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: this is just a manufactured story. Why would they do that?

70
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Why would they do an entire article. I talked to

71
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: the writers in the New York Times for probably twenty minutes.

72
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Why would they do an entire article about a story

73
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: that they claim is not really a story? Because they

74
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: are getting smoked in the world of pop culture right now,

75
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: and I think this is indicative of a massive shift

76
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: that we are seeing not only take place in the

77
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: worlds of politics, but in the world's of culture, which

78
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I would argue are maybe even more influential. Sidney Sweeney

79
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: moves to Florida registers as a Republican decides, Hey, I'm

80
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be in a genes ad for a company

81
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: like American Eagle, and we're going to refer to me

82
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: as having good genes j E A n S and

83
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: genes g E n E S. And rather than say, okay,

84
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: that's fine, blonde hair, blue eyed girl selling apparel. Thirty

85
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: percent of America is white girls. It's not crazy that

86
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: there would be an attractive white woman in an genes ad.

87
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Left loses their mind. They're threatened culturally by a girl

88
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: who's in her twenties, is a registered Republican and is

89
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: willing to say, Hey, I'm pretty and I'm going to

90
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: sell ads, and I'm going to sell products based on

91
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: my attractiveness, which, by the way, is basically the entire

92
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: basis of the influencer economy. Everybody likes to pick on

93
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: all the girls on Instagram who are walking around in

94
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: their spandex outfits and they're holding up there. You know,

95
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not healthy enough to even know

96
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: what they sell. Producer Ali, you can let me know

97
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: they eat like the yogurts. It's gonna be a good clip.

98
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm not even healthy enough to know what healthy attractive

99
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: young women eat. I think they eat the yogurt I

100
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: think they eat some smoothies. A lot of them don't

101
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: eat anyway. They're all really good looking and they walk

102
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: around and they're like, basically, if you want to be

103
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: as good looking as me, then you should buy this product. Ali,

104
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: you can tell me what attractive influencers sell. To me.

105
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: It seems to be basically yoga pants and smoothies, and

106
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: everybody buys them, and everybody makes fun of the influencers.

107
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: But I actually think you should make fun of the

108
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: people who respond to the influencers. The influence smart Justin

109
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: Bieber's wife, is it Haley Hailey Bieber sold a three

110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: year old makeup company for a billion dollars just in

111
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of months. I don't know who Hailey

112
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Bieber is. I don't know how makeup works. I don't

113
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: know how anything makeup works. I had a this is

114
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: actually pretty funny. I had a like something on the

115
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: corner of my eye that was messed up, and I

116
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: was going to be doing television. I was like, I

117
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: think people might see this, and my wife and and

118
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: all of her team they were like, every woman can

119
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: talk about makeup. I've never heard something talked about where

120
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I had no clue They might as well have been

121
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: speaking Mandarin Chinese. I had no earthly idea what they

122
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: were talking about, foundation, base, color, palette, all these I

123
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: have no idea. I have no idea how any of

124
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: this stuff works. But Hailey Bieber sells a billion dollar

125
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: makeup company, and everybody wants to make fun of Kim

126
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Kardashian and Haley Bieber and all these influencers on down

127
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: the float chart. If you want to make fun of somebody,

128
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: make fun of the people that are buying their products.

129
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Selling something that people buy is basically the foundation of capitalism.

130
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't see anything wrong with what they're doing. But

131
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the American eagle had a choice. American eagle had a choice.

132
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: When everybody decided, they ran the Good Morning America ad

133
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: and they said, this is Nazism, this is eugenics, this

134
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: is Hitlarian. By the way, funny a lot of young

135
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: men on Twitter, they started referring, you know what, they

136
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: were calling Sidney Sweeney in the wake of the Left,

137
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: saying that she was Hitler like and this was Nazi

138
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: and eugenics. They started calling her Adolph Titler. And I

139
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. The humor of young men

140
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: on social media is starting to save the culture of

141
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the country because I'll tell you, every fourteen and fifteen

142
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: year old boy in America decides what their sense of

143
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: humor is, and every man for the rest of his

144
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: life basically has the same sense of humor as a

145
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: fourteen and fifteen year old boy. Every grandpa who's seventy

146
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: five right now, he just laughed at Adolf Titler. I

147
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: guarantee you he did. And if he didn't, it's because

148
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: he's trying to pretend to the woman in the car

149
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: with him that he's actually more mature than he actually is.

150
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: They're calling her ADOLFH. Titler in response. That is genius.

151
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: It's really funny. But American Eagle had a decision. Do

152
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: they stand behind Adolph Tittler aka Sidney Sweeney or or

153
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: do they do what so many media companies and so

154
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: many advertising companies and so many different media outlets have

155
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: done for so long. Do they issue that apology and

156
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: kind of step back. Last night, American Eagle took over

157
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: the Sphere, which is the really wildly revolutionary concert venue

158
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: that exists out in Las Vegas. If you travel it

159
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: looks like a big eye you've probably seen it on

160
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: social media all night long. They ran American Eagle Sidney Sweeney,

161
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: ads of her in her genes. They have said, We're

162
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: not going to allow these left wing lunatic losers to

163
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: dictate the choices that we are making. They didn't do

164
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: to Sidney Sweeney what was done to Grant Napier five

165
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: years ago. When somebody gets a little bit controversial, they

166
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: cancel them, They put them on the sidelines, they run

167
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: and hide from them. Simultaneous with that, Sidney Sweeney is

168
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: on the big sphere. I'm in Atlanta right now, thank

169
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you to our affiliate down here extra one zero six

170
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: point three. I am basically right next door to the

171
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves, where, by the way, Major League Baseball didn't

172
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: officially apologize, but they showed right back up here with

173
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, which was a direct response in

174
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: many ways to the lies told by the Biden administration

175
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: about the voting rights bill in Georgia. They brought the

176
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: All Star Game here. There wasn't a hint of complaint

177
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: the left wingers like Stacy Abrams and Joe Biden and

178
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, who had all argued this is Jim Crow

179
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: This is Jim Eagle. This is modern day Confederacy in

180
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: the state of Georgia where I am right now. They

181
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: shot it all down. That connects also to what I

182
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: was seeing last night watched The Braves. While I'm watching

183
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: the Braves, awful season for the Braves, by the way,

184
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: great organization. I'm scrolling through and I start to see

185
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: going viral as the kids are returning to college campuses,

186
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: tens of millions of views for these sec sorority girls

187
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: dressed up in patriotic colors celebrating the United States as

188
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: a way to recruit freshman girls to join their sorority.

189
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: And I just thought, Sidney Sweeney, Atlanta Braves All Star Game,

190
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: and now SEAC Sororities America is back. Being proud to

191
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: be an American is back. Culturally, we are winning. The

192
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: New York Times is writing articles claiming that nobody's actually

193
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: offended by Sidney Sweeney because they know they're on the

194
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: wrong side of these issues, and so they claim the

195
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: issue doesn't exist anymore. I'm starting to hear from people

196
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: out there who were totally silent when I was speaking

197
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: out against men and women's sports that are now saying

198
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're still talking about this. Well,

199
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm still talking about it because it's still happening. And

200
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: the reason you don't want to talk about it anymore

201
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: is because you're wrong. You lost. We are winning across

202
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: the cultural landscape, politics, business, sports, movies, all of it

203
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: is moving in the direction of sanity and repudiating everything

204
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: by and large that has happened over the last seven

205
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: or eight years. And I understand how some of you

206
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: may be skeptical, some of you may not be seeing

207
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: it or feeling it. But even even the New York

208
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: Times is pretending this cultural battle isn't even happening, because

209
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: otherwise they would have to acknowledge that they are getting

210
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: their ass kicked, and that people are turning the back,

211
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: turning their back on the whole woke universe, and not

212
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: only turning their back on it, working hard to completely

213
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: reverse it is downstream from culture. That's why I've been

214
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: arguing now is the time to add on more steam

215
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: to truly make a difference. Bottom of the hour. I

216
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: think this is even starting to impact the biggest movies

217
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: that are out there. Superman didn't have the success that

218
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: it would have in my opinion, if the moron director

219
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: of Superman had not come out and said it's about

220
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: immigration and it's a political movie. I really think we

221
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: are starting to see a return to sanity and consequences

222
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: for those who interject politics into every fabric of American life.

223
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: And that, my friends, is something to be very very

224
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: happy about as we're rolling into this weekend. Now, look,

225
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there are heads of households.

226
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: You're the mom or the dad, or the grandma or

227
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: the grandpa that's making a lot of decisions out there

228
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: for your family. You might be even already thinking about Thanksgiving,

229
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: think about Christmas, and maybe you're thinking about, hey, how

230
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: do I get everybody to come to Christmas? Because we

231
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: got different family members that are mad at each other.

232
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: If you're the peacemaker in your family, if you're the

233
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: individuals that try to bring everybody together, have you thought

234
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: about what would happen if you weren't there for Thanksgiving,

235
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: if you weren't there for Christmas? Have you thought about

236
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: the fights that might ensue if you weren't there to

237
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: help stop them from happening. I bet every mom out

238
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: there listening has I bet every dad out there listening

239
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: has I bet every grandma and grandpa out there listening

240
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: has well, have you thought about the fights that might

241
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: ensue if you don't tell your kids and grandkids exactly

242
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: what you want when you're not here anymore. That's the

243
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: whole purpose of trust and wills. And I get it's

244
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable conversation to have because you have to sit

245
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: around and say, hey, you know, one day, I'm not

246
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: going to be here. So far, to my knowledge, we

247
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: have not had a lot of success when it comes

248
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: to immortality, and so sooner or later, every single one

249
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: of us, as much as we think we matter, we're

250
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: not going to be here to solve problems. We're not

251
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: going to be here to make decisions. And would you

252
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: like to try to make the final decision one that

253
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: your family knows exactly what you want. That's the entire

254
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: purpose of trust and wills. I've got both, Buck has

255
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: got both. We have families. Why do you not go

256
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: ahead and take care of your family like you struggle

257
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,359
Speaker 1: and fight to do every single day with your final decisions?

258
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,080

Speaker 2: MM Sacramento and I lived there during the BLM days.

270
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: If you didn't have a BLM sign in front of

271
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: your house, you were considered a flat out racist. I

272
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: didn't have one, and I have plenty of people friends

273
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: for are not of the white category, but that doesn't matter.

274
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: You had to have that sign.

275
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: I got some bad looks for not having it.

276
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: That's the bullying that was so endemic in in Chuck

277
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: also from Northern Colorado, Northern California. K b FK saying

278

304
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: We're rolling through the Friday edition of the program. I

305
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: thought this was a fun topic. I was reading this

306
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: morning getting ready for all the prep. By the way, Buck,

307

00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: through the weekend with his family, so he's texted me

00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: that he's met a lot of you, and so thanks

310
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: for everybody who's being super kind to him. And thanks,

311
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: by the way to Extra one zero six point three

312
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: are Atlanta, Georgia area affiliate. I'm going to watch the

313
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves with my family for the weekend. It has

314
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: not been a great season. I know that Ian Miller

315
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: is a big Dodgers fan. It has been a good

316
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: Dodger season. Maybe he wants to talk trash about that.

317
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: But I was reading your piece this morning as I

318
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: was getting ready. Ian and Ian Wrights at OutKick owned

319
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: by Fox News Now, but that I founded and Ian

320
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: my kids love, and my family has long loved all

321
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: the superhero movies. I've got three boys. I've seen every

322
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: superhero movie in the theaters. It feels like to me,

323
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Avengers End Game happened, and it was the two part finale,

324
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: and frankly, it was pretty fantastic. I loved it. It

325
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: was really well done, and ever since then people have

326
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: basically decided superhero movies were finished with them. Is that

327
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: a bad take? Fair take? How would you analyze this

328
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: and what is American response to these movies in your mind?

329
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Telling us about the larger culture?

330
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, always happy to talk trash about

331
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 4: the Dodgers being the braves whenever necessary. But as far

332
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: as the superhero movies go, I think you're exactly right.

333
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: After Avengers Endgame, there is this dramatic shift, and I

334
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: think you can kind of point it to Marvel completely

335
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: changing their philosophy of what characters they wanted to present,

336
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 4: how they wanted to present them. So you can go

337
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 4: back and look at the list of movies they've released

338
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 4: since twenty twenty, it's things like Black Widow, Shun Chi Eternals,

339
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 4: you know, Ant Man three, the Marvels, things like that,

340
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: and they flopped. I mean, it's been one disaster after another.

341
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: There's been a couple of successes mixed in there, but

342
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: for the large part, it's been really these movies that

343
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: have just not done very well. And I think they've

344
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: kind of had these checkboxes of targets they wanted to

345
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: hit people.

346
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: They wanted to target these.

347
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: Movies too, and it hasn't panned out, And I think

348
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: that there is a fatigue now and people have really

349
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: kind of tuned them out in the American culture, and

350
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: then people are sick and tired of going to the

351
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 4: movies not knowing that they're going to get some kind

352
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: of unexpected political lecture and was supposed to be a summer,

353
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: fun popcorn movie.

354
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Newest Superman?

355
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: I haven't. Actually no, I haven't seen it.

356
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I haven't either. My wife and youngest son went and

357
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: watched it and they said that it was not particularly woke.

358
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: But James Gunn, the director, said that the movie was

359
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: political before he came out. He said it was an

360
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: immigration story, so he said, of course it's political, and

361
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: I think it stripped a lot of what otherwise would

362
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: have been maybe positivity for the movie away. And you

363
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: dove into the math because a lot of people don't

364
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: dive into the math. You're a smart guy. The reason

365
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: I first became aware of you was you were porting

366
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: out the math of you Live in LA and how

367
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: COVID was absolutely handled in just an indefensible management manner

368
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: by California and we may circle back on that in

369
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: a sec. But what is the math on Superman. It's

370
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: headed for losing money, even though most people aren't really

371
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: breaking it down.

372
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that's you hit it me on

373
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: the head again with guns comments. It was just so

374
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: unnecessary and bizarre. And I think even though the movie

375
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: wasn't particularly political, it made it political. And you know,

376
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: it hasn't done that poorly domestically. But what we've seen

377
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: is that, you know, maybe if it costs itself, maybe

378
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: there were two million people that we're going to go

379
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 4: see or on the fence and didn't because of what

380
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 4: Gun said. Well, that's two million people that didn't buy

381
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: twenty dollars movie tickets and so on and so forth,

382
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: and it adds up over time. And right now where

383
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 4: it's tracking is it's probably going to lose somewhere around

384
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 4: you know, seventy to eighty one hundred million dollars globally,

385
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: because you know, the production budget is so high, the

386
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: advertising budget is so high. It had to make around

387
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 4: seven hundred million dollars globally to break even. It's not

388
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: going to do that, and when you adjust for inflation,

389
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: it's done significantly worse than Man of Steel, which was

390
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 4: kind of the last big Superman movie that came out,

391
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: which is twenty thirteen. So it's just it's an unnecessary

392
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 4: comment that I think turned people off to seeing it

393
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: that were otherwise had no reason not to go see it.

394
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: I talked earlier Ian about the culture of sports. We

395
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: talked to Grant Apier, who was out in California where

396
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you live, lost his job for simply saying, all lives matter,

397
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: every single one. Certainly, there's been a great deal of

398
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: discussion about Sidney Sweeney. I don't know if you've happened

399
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: to see all of the sec sorority recruitment videos that

400
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: are going wildly viral now, including very patriotic ones, even

401
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: living in California. Do you sense that we have seen

402
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: a profound cultural shift or are you skeptical?

403
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: No, I definitely do think there is There has been

404
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 4: a cultural shift, and it's especially among I think younger

405
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: generations that you had for so many years, this kind

406
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 4: of political movement that you woke for lack of a

407
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: better word, that wanted to like stamp out fun and

408
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 4: just being able to enjoy yourself without apologizing for it.

409
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: And I think the younger generations have finally tuned that out.

410
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: I think there was about a ten to fifteen year

411
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 4: window where people were kind of listening to that and

412
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 4: how people are tired of it and thank God for it,

413
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: and I think that's part of the reason why these

414
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 4: movies have failed. And once you kind of lose the

415
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: benefit of the doubt of the consumer, it's very hard to.

416
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: Get it back. And that cultural shift is part of it.

417
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: People have changed how they view movies, how they view entertainment,

418
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: what they want to get out of entertainment, and you know,

419
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: when you're not providing that, you're not going to do well.

420
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: And that's what we've.

421
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: Seen twenty twenty eight. It's early. We may still end

422
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: up with Gavin Newsome against Governor Ron DeSantis. It does

423
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: feel to me like that is the most evid opposite

424
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: political perspectives from a governatorial perspective right now. Right what

425
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: Florida did during COVID, the way that they have run

426
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: their state, what California did during COVID, the way that

427
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has run his state. As someone living in California,

428
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: are more people acknowledging that Gavin Newsom got it wrong?

429
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: When you're moving around in social circles. Or do you

430
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: think people in California now, rather than admit they got

431
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: things wrong, are just pretending COVID never happened and moving on.

432
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: What is the vibe there?

433
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a bit of a mixed bag

434
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: where there are some people that are just pretending it

435
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: never happened, and there are, but there are a number

436
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 4: of people that kind of were on the political left

437
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: that have acknowledged, you know, we got this wrong. I

438
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: think Newsom's approval ratings have been underwater even in California

439
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: and one in the most hardcore blue states because he's

440
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 4: done such a bad job, and that contrast could not

441
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 4: be more starked with COVID. But it's also with everything.

442
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: Like if there's a natural disaster in Florida, Ron DeSantis

443
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: has got everything prepared ahead of time, the response is immaculate,

444
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 4: it's immediate, and things are fixed quickly and people are

445
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: back up and running within a matter of days. In California,

446
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: we have just this spectacular incompetence where everything is slow,

447
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 4: nothing gets done quickly, the responses are never planned ahead

448
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: of time. Obviously, we had the disastrous fires in La

449
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 4: in January and the recovery has been a train wreck,

450
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: and that exemplifies what has happened with Newsom versus in

451
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: California and the failure in Blue states compared to what

452
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 4: we've seen in Florida.

453
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Jennifer Say is a friend of mine. She's founded a

454
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: clothing company xx x Y Athletics. Some of you may

455
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: have seen it. She used to work at Levi's, which

456
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: was based in San Francisco. And since I was just

457
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: asking you about COVID, I know you were fired up

458
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: about this. Ian As a dad, I spoke out immensely

459
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: about the importance of schools being reopened. I continue to

460
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: meet so many kids out there that had their schools

461
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: shut down. I met a kid up at the University

462
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: of Chicago recently went to school in California. He said, yeah,

463
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: we left it March. I was a junior in high

464
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: school and I never came back again, and so he

465
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: only saw his classmates again at graduation. You think about

466
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: what happens when you're sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old. Jennifer

467
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: has made a documentary and I would encourage you guys

468
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: to watch this, but Ian, I want to play it

469
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: for you, and then I want to get your reaction

470
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: to whether we have had what should have been a

471
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: full sort of reconciliation in some way for the disaster

472
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: of shutting down schools. But this book focuses on This

473
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: documentary focuses on kids. It has recently been completed. Full disclosure.

474
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: I donated money to help make it. But I think

475
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: it is really really good. Here is cut five. This

476
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: is a new film documenting the impact of COVID lockdowns

477
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: on kids. Just listen to this audio.

478
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: Western democracy has been replaced with the higher security state oas.

479
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 6: Restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues

480
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 6: where groups of people congregate should be closed.

481
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: I expected it to only be for like two weeks

482
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: and then we get back to school.

483
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 5: At the time, it felt great, and then surely enough

484
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 5: it started to be very worrying.

485
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I've had a plan to myself, and I thought about

486
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: it every day.

487
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 4: You cannot treat kids like prisoners and expect them to

488
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 4: be okay.

489
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 5: The memories that we have lost, the experiences that we

490
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 5: have lost, the skills that we have lost, and now

491
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 5: we have to reget that and go out into the world.

492
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: It has to be an honest discussion about what went on.

493
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: This is something that my generation will not forget. This

494
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: is also something that my generation will not forgive.

495
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: It's really powerful and again the film it's called Generation COVID.

496
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: When I travel around and I spend a lot of

497
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: time on college campuses, I don't think we are talking

498
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: enough about the anger or of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,

499
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty year old kids who had years of their life

500
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: taken away for a virus that bore them no threat

501
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: at all. They're profoundly angry. I think it's one reason

502
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: young men in particular have moved so aggressively towards Trump.

503
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: Do you sense that, Ian, Because I really do, and

504
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's talked about hardly at all.

505
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: I completely agree.

506
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: I think that it's absolutely one of the biggest explanations

507
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: for how the culture has shifted. How you know young

508
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 4: men have shifted, You know they had their their youth

509
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 4: kind of taken away from them. Listening to that Anthony

510
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: Fauci quote there is that's the perfect example where you

511
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 4: had this one man who was making kind of dictatorial

512
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: statements about what should happen, never really presenting any evidence

513
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 4: for it, and then never correcting himself or apologizing when

514
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 4: he found out he was wrong.

515
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: And because you know, you had these these retrictions going for.

516
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: Years and years and years, and children were incredibly harmed

517
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: by this, and there was never any discussion of it.

518
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 4: There's never been any discussion of it. It's that, like

519
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: we were saying about California, people just want to forget

520
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 4: that it happened. But the people that live through it

521
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: have not forgotten, and they're not going to forget. And

522
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 4: I think it's going to change their lives forever with

523
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: how they view politics or they view.

524
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: Government, how they view these restrictions.

525
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 4: And I think we have not really fully reckoned with

526
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 4: it because we don't want to. We don't want to

527
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 4: admit what we did to that generation and how it's

528
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 4: going to impact them.

529
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: For the rest of their lives.

530
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 6: Ian.

531
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Appreciate the work. Tell people how they can find you

532
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: out there. But good stuff on diving into the math

533
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: behind some of these movies and continuing to fight for

534
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: basic sanity when it comes to data.

535
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me, Clay right and now kick every

536
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: day and on Twitter just Ian MFC, thanks a lot

537
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: for having me.

Speaker 1: It's awesome when we come back, we'll play some of

539
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: your reactions final segment of the week, But as we

540
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: go to break here, I want to tell you about

541
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: the incredible work that Tunnel to Towers is doing for

542
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: so many people who need a great amount of help. Unfortunately,

543
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: because of the loss from the action that they have undertaken.

544
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: For the family, in particular, US Navy Petty Officer Michael

545
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: Ernst was killed in a training accident, Tunnel to Towers

546
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: provided a mortgage free home to his loving family. His wife,

547
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: Megan grateful to Tunnel to Towers supporters like you for

548
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: lifting that financial burden off her shoulders. Their home is

549
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: a safe space now for her and her children. Your

550
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: generosity will help that to continue for years to come.

551
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: Since Tunnel the Towers was founded in the aftermath of

552
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, the Ernst family is one of many

553
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: that people like you have helped. But there's so much

554
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: more that can still be done. Many are still in need.

555
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: We can't forget America's heroes have given so much. Together,

556

Speaker 2: Juliet now, but I was in Sacramento.

581
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: I listened to Grant Napier.

582
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: I didn't agree with him on one hundred percent of

583
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: the things about the Kings, but I want to tell

584
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: you something, Jerry Reynolds and Grant Napier was.

585
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 7: An extremely funny NBA radio broadcast to listen to.

586
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: So have a good one.

587
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 3: He's a good guy. He got.

588
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: Grant was thank you. Yeah, Grant was fired. If you

589
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,320

590
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: twenty six years on radio, thirty two years on TV,

591
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: he was fired. He lost his job really for saying

592
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: all lives matter, every single one. He now has got

593
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: a new sports talk radio show. I love that that

594
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: story is being rectified in some way. Rachel and Raleigh,

595
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: North Carolina.

596
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 7: JJ, Hey, Colorado mountain guy. This is Rachel from North Carolina,

597
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 7: and yes, our mountains are actual mountains. In fact, there's

598
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 7: some of the oldest mountain ranges on the planet. So

599
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 7: give us a little bit of cred there. That may

600
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 7: not be as tall because they've been worn down, but

601
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 7: they are actual mountains and they are stunning. So stood back, dude.

602
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 7: And also they're not run by communists, at least not yet.

603
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: Fingers crossed a lot of I would not have expected

604
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: mountain trash talk. When I sat down to do the

605
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: show today. We had a Colorado caller who went after

606
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: me for saying Buck was in the mountains, saying that

607
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: they're smoky mountains are not mountains, and the mountains on

608
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: the East coast KK Todd was firing away from the

609
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: Colorado KK. Let's listen Colorado.

610
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: I love the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, but I think Cleanland's

611
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 3: dome is like six thousand feet. We have fifty three

612
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 3: fourteen ers in Colorado. You know, fourteen thousand feet.

613
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just mountain trash talk. Would you have you

614
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: ever heard it before? Kenny in Saint louis one oh

615
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: four point nine in between the Smoky Mountains and Colorado,

616
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: and he's weighing in, what's he got?

617
00:34:59,560 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 6: Love you?

618
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Yoh Lingman's film is like six thousand something feet.

619
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 4: The guy in Colorado is talking about fourteen thousand plus feet.

620
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 3: I think he's got a little.

621
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Room to talk. Don't here we go by the way,

622
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,959
Speaker 1: Let's see Jana from Milwaukee says, well, she's got a question.

623
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: Let's listen. Pq QQ from Milwaukee.

624
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 3: Hey guys, Jennefer Milwaukee, big fan of the show.

625
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 6: Love seeing you guys pop up on various Fox News shows,

626
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: and my question is when are you going to pop

627
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: up on my favorite Fox News show, Gutfeld.

628
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: I have been on Gutfeld. I haven't been on in

629
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: a while because you have to be present in New

630
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: York City, and I would imagine the same is true

631
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: for Buck. We just haven't been up in New York

632
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: that much. I'm scheduled to be up in New York

633
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: for some events in September, so maybe I'll be on Gutfeld.

634
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Then he does a great job, By the way, Gutfeld

635
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: credit to Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Fallon had Gutfeld on his

636
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: late night talk show on NBC. The Prime Minister of Armenia,

637
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: by the way, is about to arrive at the White

638
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: House as we are speaking. Finally, Renee from Florida, she's

639
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: upset because I'm not using grammar correctly.

640
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 6: Oh, I just wanted to give you a little piece

641
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 6: of advice. Because you can count them, it's fewer. If

642
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 6: you can't, it's less. So for example, we have fewer

643
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 6: pennies but less money.

644
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Just let you know there's a zero percent chance that

645
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to get that correct. You know, I try

646
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: to be pretty good on grammar. I'm probably not gonna

647
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: get fewer and less correct. I'm sorry to all the

648
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: grammarians out there in this universe. I will continue to

649
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: mangle the English language to the best of my ability.

650
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: I love all of you. Have fabulous weekends. I'm gonna

651
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: go watch the Atlanta Braves play the Marlins with my family.

652
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun weekend. I hope you all

653
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: have one as well. We'll be back Buck and Me

654
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: on Monday. Let's see it then,
