16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: to a break, I told you we got an interesting

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: poll that came down. Now, I understand everybody out there

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: gets apprehensive about polls. There's anxiety that poles were wrong

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: in sixteen, they were wrong in twenty, they were wrong

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: in twenty two. It's been very hard to be entirely

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: reliant on poles. But here's what we do know in

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Joe Biden won the state of Virginia by

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: ten points over Donald Trump. In twenty twenty one, the

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: very next year, Glen young Can flipped the governor's mansion

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: in Virginia from Democrat to Republican and flipped in a

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: big way the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now, there is a

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: poll this is from Roanoke University that is out that

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: has some really interesting data points. In particular, there have

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: been rumors that Glenn young Can is going to throw

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: his name into the mix as a presidential candidate. Some

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: of you may say, well, wait a minute, he's only

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: been governor for a couple of years. Yes, but Virginia

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: you can only be governor for one term, so it's

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: a little bit different than other places where Glen young

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Can know he could run for reelection, he could be

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: a governor for eight years. Glenn young Can, because of

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: the state of Virginia, can only be a governor for

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: one term, and he's been a very successful governor. He

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: has a wildly favorable rating in the state of Virginia.

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: This is from again Rowanoke College. It was done over

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and these numbers really jump

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: out at you. So, first of all, if Joe Biden

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: is the nominee as we expect and Donald Trump is

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: the nominee for Republicans, according to this poll, Biden would

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: only have a one point lead over Trump, very ominous.

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Because Biden won Virginia by ten points. This suggests that

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is very weak in the state of Virginia.

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: In general, Ron de Santis, according to this poll, would

49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: beat Joe Biden by five points. If Joe Biden doesn't

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: win Virginia, this is gonna be a landslide election for Republicans.

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: All of you should be aware of that. But here

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: is the number that is staggering. Glenn Junkin, if he

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: is the nominee for president. According to this poll, he

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: would beat Joe Biden fifty five to thirty nine, beat

55
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: him by sixteen points. That would represent a twenty six

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: point line move effectively compared to the twenty twenty presidential election. So, Buck,

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: when you see this numbers and you saw him, you

58
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: and I were talking about an off air again. Roanoke

59
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: College has Glenn Yunkin beating Joe Biden by sixteen points

60
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: in Virginia at a minimum. To me, This raises the hey,

61
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: Glenn Junkin should be at the very top of the

62
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: list for vice president potential nominees, but also should we

63
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: be talking about Junkin as a potential presidential choice? Just

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: if he wins Virginia, he's gonna win the presidency. Could

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: he deliver the state of Virginia based on these numbers?

66
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: It would even be close. You know, I think you

67
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: should evaluate vice presidents through the lens of first and

68
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: foremost office. Is this person a reasonable chance, a reasonable

69
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: choice for the presidents? Hard beat away it? Right? They're

70
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: a harpyway. That's step one. But step two from an

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: electoral politics angle is can they actually help in the

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: You know, generally vice presidents get talked about a lot

73
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: by the media and don't really make all that much difference.

74
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: But I think in part it's because Republicans. Republicans approach it,

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: at least a lot of the consultants do the same

76
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: way Democrats approach their vice presidential picks, which is this

77
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: is an op This is an opportunity for diversity and inclusion.

78
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, we need a woman, or we need a minority,

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: or we need to know we need someone who's going

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: to deliver a key state that's I agree you want

81
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: to win that actually matters. Republicans do not get credit

82
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: at the ballot box for diversity, just everyone needs that. Never,

83
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: it never works that way because we're also wired to

84
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: think of is this person male or female the best

85
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: person for the job. Do we want to vote for

86
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: this individual. Republicans do not get Democrats to come and

87
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: cross over from the other side of the island say oh, well,

88
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: this Republican ticket has a has a woman on it.

89
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: Now now I feel like I'm gonna It just doesn't

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: work that way. You know, you look at all the

91
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: different data from previous elections. Maybe there's some minor effect,

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: but if you're talking about actually winning key states matter,

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: so Wisconsin, Arizona, Virginia, Georgia, these are places that matter.

94
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: So if a vice president can help deliver a win

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: in one of those places in twenty twenty four, I

96
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: think that's a really big asseid a really big advantage.

97
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: And I also think that Glen Younkins has shown a

98
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: very interesting blueprint for Look, Glen young Kin is never

99
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's not the governor of Texas. He's never

100
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna be the governor of Texas. He's not. He's not

101
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: somebody who has a red state mandate. But what he's

102
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: been able to do is going to it is really

103
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: essentially a blue state, certainly by registration advantage. Democrats have

104
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: it in their column and address the issues of the

105
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: people in that state, do so in a forth right

106
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: manner with competency, and you could actually win a blue

107
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: purple state with a pretty solid, pretty solid majority, which

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: is what Glenn Yunkin has done, you know, in a way.

109
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: I mean Florida, Yes, Desantists, has had a bigger swing,

110
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: bigger numbers, it's more you know, it's obviously it's a

111
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: truly red state right now based on the most recent

112
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: reelection results. But I think that it has been a

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: it's a closer. It has been a closer contest in

114
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Florida in recent years anyway than it has been in Virginia.

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Virginia has been pretty reliably Democrat. And Junkin

116
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: was good on masks. Junkin was good on school the

117
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: school closure issue. I mean, all these things that come

118
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: out of the pandemic. He's because he won in twenty

119
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: twenty one that felt a bit like the first referendum

120
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: on the craziest COVID policies. So I think he was

121
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: important in that process as well. And I've said this before.

122
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean the guys, he's slick, he's smart, he ran

123
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the Carlisle group. Jo. I think he's gonna be president. No,

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: I think he's got a future in politics in America. Yeah, yeah,

125
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: even beyond being governor. Here's what I would impress upon

126
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: anybody running. You said it about the identity politics stuff.

127
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: I think whoever the vice presidential pick is has to

128
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: be in a state that that president vice president can

129
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: put in play. And this is what jumps out to

130
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: me about Junkin. I've said for a while, Look, Brian

131
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: Kemp guarantees to me that you would win the state

132
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: of Georgia, So it takes Georgia off the board. I'm

133
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: not sure in Arizona. Does Doug Doocey do that. He's

134
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: probably the most popular Arizona Republican right now. I don't know.

135
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: Does Lombardo do that in Nevada? I don't know does

136
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Chris Sinunu in New Hampshire? Does Ron Johnson in Wisconsin?

137
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Are any of those guys capable of putting their state

138
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: in the Republican camp. If my polsters and again I

139
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: understand the reticence on posters, but if my polsters and

140
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: my team believe that they can deliver a state, that's

141
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: my VP. If I'm Rhonda Santis or I'm Donald Trump

142
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and I'm the nominee in twenty four, I'm putting Glen

143
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: Yunkin on the ticket if I think he can deliver

144
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Virginia because one, it forces Biden to have to expand

145
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: the battleground. If Democrats are scrambling to try to win Virginia,

146
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: it's a very good sign in other close states. But

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Virginia is such a state buck there is no pathway

148
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: to the presidency that doesn't include Virginia for Democrats. So

149
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: if you could take that one out of their column,

150
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: because Glen Yunkin is so popular and he can deliver

151
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: the state of Virginia, this race is over. I mean,

152
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if these numbers are accurate and Glen Yunkin

153
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: is popular enough to deliver Virginia into the Republican column,

154
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: then twenty twenty four is effectively over. As you said,

155
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: though it's very early, but haven't run you know, polls

156
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: have been wrong. It's very early in Democrats haven't been

157
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: trying to convince the Virginia electorate of the menace that

158
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: the Republicans represent here. I think in part because until

159
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: they know who they're running against, and this is a

160
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: this is a challenge the Democrat's face, certainly in the

161
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: in the early early months year of the twenty twenty

162
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: four election. You're gonna run very differently against Donald Trump

163
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: than you would against RHN, De Santists or anybody else, right,

164
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's no ques they can this whole

165
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: thing that they've tried. You've already seen some of these

166
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: articles said this is worse than Trump's Hitler, which is

167
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: a tough angle to follow Trump with Hitler, and the

168
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Santis even worse than Hitler. But they've they've been trying

169
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: to tell people that the difference between Trump and De

170
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Santists is that De Santists is even worse because you

171
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: get Trump policies with policy competency and focus instead of

172
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: just the ideas and then the kind of you know,

173
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Rockham side Aham politics of the Trump administration. That is

174
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats trying to make that argument. I don't think

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be very persuasive to the independence and

176
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: to that middle trunks. That's going to determine how these

177
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: closed states go. I think they'll see competency as something

178
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: that really matters and something that's good, you know. Effectively,

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: the Democrat argument is, oh my god, he's even worse

180
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: than Trump because this guy's right wing and competent. That

181
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: is the Democrat argument about Ron de Santis, which is

182
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: pretty much a backhanded compliment. Actually, Buck, I want, I don't.

183
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anybody float this idea, So let's star

184
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: it on the transcript. If I end up being right

185
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: on this. You know that Democrats waded into the primary

186
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: season in twenty twenty two to try to pick the

187
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: most Trumpian candidates as opposed to the middle ground people,

188
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: to give their Democrat candidates better chances to win. They

189
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: spent tens of millions of dollars to do that. What

190
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: do you think the chances are that the Biden people

191
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: pour money in on Donald Trump in the twenty twenty

192
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: in the Republican presidential primary, attacking the Scantis, attacking Nicky Hayley,

193
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: anybody who has momentum to try to select Trump as

194
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: their nominee. I haven't seen anybody float this question. I

195
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: think it's very likely and it's going to be all

196
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: hands on deck in twenty four because, to the point

197
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: we've made on this show, the advantage Republicans have is

198
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: we know the opponent. We know they're going to try

199
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: out Joe Biden to the best of their ability. Democrats

200
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: have already shown they have no morals and certainly no

201
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: moral compunction against trying to get Trump endorsed candidates in

202
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: as the nominees. Why would they not spend tens of

203
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to make Trump the nominee in twenty

204
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: four I thought you were gonna say they have shown

205
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: no scruples when it comes to the what three month

206
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: gap between John Fetterman? Is fine? Shut off ask any

207
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: questions about him? You're ablest too, Yeah, so what, he's

208
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: in a mental hospital. Respect his privacy. Maybe he'll come

209
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: out in a few months. They act like there was

210
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: no you know, there's no issue here at all. It

211
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: went from you know, how dare you even ask about

212
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: his ability to do the job of senator too? Yeah,

213
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: he's in a psych ward for the foreseeable future. That's

214
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: just the way it goes, and they act like there's

215
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: no there's no issue with what they said versus what

216
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: the reality is now. They just by the way I

217
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of people pointed out the issues he's

218
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: having are probably tied also, even if it is depression

219
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: as a component of it, if you've had a major

220
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: stroke and the you know, the neurochemical issues that you

221
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: may have as a result of that, this can all

222
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: be tied together. But they still they think that they

223
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: pulled off a great one by getting Fetterman into office.

224
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: Doesn't doesn't matter what happens now, just flag this one.

225
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: What are we sitting here March second. Nobody's talked about

226
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: it yet. They say that Trump is an existential threat

227
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: to democracy, but they feel like Biden can only beat Trump.

228
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to float it out there. I bet they

229
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: spend tens of millions of dollars to try to put

230
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: Trump in as the nominee. I'm just floating it out there.

231
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I want all of you to think about it. This

232
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: is a way out their prediction, mister Clay Travis, This

233
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: is a way out their prediction. So I think it's

234
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: coming tens of millions of dollars from Democrats to try

235
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: to put Trump in as a nominee. So they can

236
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: try to beat them. No easy answer to fixing the

237
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: education issues in our public schools these days. We know

238
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: some of the facts. Kids are testing lower and lower

239
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: in the basics like math and English, lots of finger

240
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: pointing and blame to go around. At the same time,

241
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: there are tens of thousands of dedicated, caring teachers doing

242
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: what they're being told to do. If you're even moderately

243
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: concerned about American kindergarten through twelfth grade education, our friends

244
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,840

Speaker 1: you separate truth from fiction and every single weekday the

257
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. If Donald Trump is

258
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: challenged for the nomination, I mean he's obviously already being

259
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: challenged by Governor Nicky Haley, and then there's other people

260
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Governor de Santis, like on pay and others Vice president hence,

261
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: do you think any of them can take him out? No,

262
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: but I think what they will do is ensure him

263
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: the nomination by splitting on the ultime, Absolutely the same

264
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: thing that happened before. Yeah, the only way Trump doesn't

265
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: get that nomination is that it's just him and descended.

266
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: If it's a bunch of people in there, Yeah, they're

267
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: going to split the anti Trump vote because you know,

268
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Trump has a very hardcore following. I mean, it's a cult,

269
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: and cults don't ever go away. Look at Christianity, Okay,

270
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: forget about the chief shot there at the end from

271
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: Bill mart at Christianity because he's a climate change cultist.

272
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: To just say it, I mean that is the cult

273
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: that he belongs to, which anyway, it makes no sense

274
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: and doesn't make you a better person, just makes he sanctimonious,

275
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I would say his analysis. I think it's interesting his

276
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: analysis of the of the primary here and how it

277
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: would play out that a fractured electorate or sorry, a

278
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: fractured field would mean an almost certain Donald Trump victory.

279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: He does that line up with what you're seeing, because

280
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: that certainly is what happened in twenty sixteen when Trump won.

281
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Obviously he didn't have a primary in twenty twenty. I do.

282
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I do get the sense that, look, thirty percent of

283
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the GOP I think right now would go for Trump

284
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: no matter what. Yeah, it's it's Trump all the way,

285
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And some of them are saying, right now,

286
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: that's right. They're hearing me say, this is it. That's right,

287
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: it's Trump, that's it. I think it's thirty maybe it's

288
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: twenty percent, but it's maybe thirty percent of the GOP.

289
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: And then you have the rest that are either open

290
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: to you know, uh, descantists and or other candidates. Right,

291
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: so the whole other field. But if you have six

292
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: or seven people run, how do you get ahead of

293
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: the Trump thirty you know, we'll call it twenty five.

294
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I'll split the difference the Trump twenty five percent. That

295
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: are all in. It's it's a it's a fantastic question.

296
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: And I do think as a general rule, the more

297
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: people who run, the more it benefits Trump because I

298
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: think his I think thirty percent is probably right. I

299
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: think his thirty percent die hards are gonna ride or

300
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: die with him no matter what. Now, what I would

301
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: say in general about this is we talk very much

302
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: and very often about the larger landscape of the Republican primary.

303
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: I look this up the other day, Buck, I will

304
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: get to vote in the Republican primary, I think like

305
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: March fifth or March seventh here in Tennessee where I live.

306
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: But really what matters is not what I think or

307
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: what somebody who's going to be voting in March thinks,

308
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: which is the vast majority of you out there. It's

309
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: what do people in Iowa think in January? How many

310
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: of them are going to be motivated to go stand

311
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: in the cold with these crazy caucus rules and figure

312
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: out who wins there? And then also what's going to

313
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: happen in New Hampshire and in South Carolina. And I

314
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: don't think there's very much of a chance at all

315
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: that Trump wins New Hampshire. I'm curious what might happen

316
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: in Iowa. My point on this is really it's about

317
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: these tiny little states and the grand scheme of the

318
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: United States, Iowa and New Hampshire and how they are

319
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: going to break down. And that's where like if Chris

320
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: Sinunu decided to run, that could throw another wild card

321
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: in as well at New Hampshire gun owners out there,

322
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: fellow gun owners, there's a new way of training and

323
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: keeping your skills sharp without having to make time for

324
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: the range. You can train at home like I do

325
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: with the mantis X system. So many of the best

326
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: shooters do the majority of your training by dry fire practice.

327
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: That's what mantis X is. A firearms trading system that

328
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: is no AMMO and it's an all electronic way to

329
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: improve your shooting accuracy. He attach this device to your

330
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: firearm like you would a weapon light. Then you can

331
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: use it at home instead of getting to the range.

332
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this much, it'll make your next shooting

333
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: range outing that much more successful. I've got one of these,

334
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun to use and it's

335
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: really helpful. The mantis X gives you data driven, real

336
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: time feedback on your technique and guides you through drills

337
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: and courses. Nearly every shooter improves within twenty minutes of

338
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: using the mantis X. Therese product is now being used

339
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: by the US military and special Forces. It's military grade

340
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: technology at an affordable price. The mantis X is a

341
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: to have for every gun owner. Start improving your shooting

342
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: accuracy today. Get yours at mantisex dot com. Welcome back

343
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We've been talking about

344
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: a variety of subjects, as we always do, and one

345
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: of our guests, I gotta give him a shout out.

346
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Marty McCarry has been better on COVID than almost

347
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: anyone JOHNS Hopkins physician. I don't think you can underrate

348
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: how much pressure so many doctors in this country were

349
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: under to shut up and follow the consensus view, even

350
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: though many of you out there listening to us right

351
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: now knew that the consensus view was one hundred percent wrong,

352
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: or you had serious qualms from a scientific basis about

353
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: what was going on. I've told the story before. I

354
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: don't want to name her because I don't want to

355
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: get her in trouble. But when I spoke out against masks,

356
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: one of our friends. She's a physician in Tennessee spoke

357
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: out against masks on school children as well, and had

358
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: a medical board complaint and had to deal with the

359
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: fact that her license was threatened even in the state

360
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: of Tennessee for willing to speak out publicly about the

361
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: fact that masks in school made no sense. And so

362
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: many of these doctors dealt with extreme attacks for their

363
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: willingness to speak out. Now, you and I Buck, we

364
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: got ripped to the high heavens, but we're in the

365
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: opinion business. We're not doctors. And I think unfortunately a

366
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of doctors decided to keep their mouths shut because

367
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: they were so afraid of what their colleagues might say.

368
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: They were so afraid of their medical licenses being threatened.

369
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: And I think one of the lessons we need to

370
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: take is we need complete scientific freedom in this country

371
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: on issues of true scientific debate. So you don't have

372
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: to worry about getting canceled because you're a pediatrician who

373
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: says a kid doesn't need to wear a mask. Well,

374
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to play these things because doctor McCarry went

375
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: in of Congress and he said, you know who was

376
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: the biggest spreader of misinformation during COVID the United States government. Listen,

377
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been

378
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the United States government. Misinformation that COVID was spread through

379
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: surface transmission, that vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity,

380
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: that masks were effective. Now we have the definitive Cochrane review.

381
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: What do you do with that review? Cochrane is the

382
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: most authoritative evidence body in all of medicine. It has

383
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: been for decades. Do you just ignore it, not talk

384
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: about it. That myocarditis was more common after the infection

385
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: than the vaccine. Not true, It's four to twenty eight

386
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: times more common after the vaccine. That young people benefit

387
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: from a booster misinformation are two top experts on vaccines

388
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: quit the FDA in protest over this particular issue pushing

389
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: boosters in young healthy people. That data is never there.

390
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: I think, Clay, we have to see this for what

391
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: it is. First of all, Morty McCarry has been brave

392
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: and brilliant for a long time now on this issue

393
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: of covide. He's one of the few, and he was

394
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: a really important voice too. Alex Barrinson was also very

395
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: early and very brave. He's a dated guy, but he's

396
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: not an MD. And now fair or unfair, there was

397
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: a need, particularly for mds to come forward and to

398
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: be willing to speak about this in this way because

399
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: it turned into so much of a of just of

400
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: a credibility battle, right or a credential I should say,

401
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: a credentialism battle. And when you have an MD from

402
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: Johns Hopkins University Medical School coming forward, but then you

403
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: know you also had Professor United's at Stanford. I'm still

404
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: not sure I'm saying his name right. It's a very

405
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: difficult Greek name. But you had you had a handful

406
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: of them willing to come forward. The Great Barentine Declaration,

407
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: which people barely even remember now, was entirely correct in

408
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: its wisdom. Right, everything in that was right. I retweeted it,

409
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: You retweeted it immediately when it came out, a lot

410
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: of us saying, hey, this is the way, there is

411
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: a path, there's a different way to handle this. It

412
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: was buried, buried by the social media companies, buried by

413
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: the Biden you know, Biden White House, by the Democrat Party,

414
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: just completely ignored and even worse than ignored, suppressed the

415
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. But what I think really this all shows

416
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: you is that the mentality of the Fauciites for all this,

417
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: was that they had a right to tell you things

418
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: that were wrong because they're better than you are. That

419
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: ultimately the Democrats, because you look at someone like Jimmy Kimmel,

420
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: for example, he's come forward now and he's saying, oh,

421
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, look, look at all this stuff about the

422
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: lab League. Yeah, fine, we don't know what's going on now,

423
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: So why are the why are the Republicans misrepresenting this?

424
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: There's some clips circulating with Jimmy Kimmel making fun of

425
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: this or talking about this what a deeply unfunny and

426
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: increasingly sad fellow. But no, that's not what this is about,

427
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: or rather that's not an honest assessment of what this

428
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: is about. They said they knew for sure, you couldn't

429
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: even talk about the thing that at a minimum now

430
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: looks probable, and some people would say more than probable.

431
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: But when you say you can't say something because we're

432
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: sure it's not true, and then it comes out that

433
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: it turns out it may be true. At a minimum,

434
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: what you've done is shown that you were wrong. It's

435
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: wrong to say you're one hundred percent wrong and then

436
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: have to admit, actually, you may be right. The person

437
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: who has transgressed there is the person that suppresses and

438
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the entire Democrat party did this, and I really think

439
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: it's they at the end of the day, they justified

440
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: it's another version of well, they couldn't listen to us

441
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: because it came for people like you and me and

442
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: others on the right can't listen to them. That's the problem.

443
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: The wrong people were saying the right things. This is

444
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: what it all comes down to. Leftism. Democrats, they really

445
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: do think of themselves as just superior people. I think

446
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: I have better ideas than Democrats. Let's just say on

447
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: COVID and I do, and you do. They think they're

448
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: better people than us, so their ideas should matter more.

449
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: They're just better than They're just better. And then everyone

450
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: listening to this they're better. Oh you won't mask up.

451
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: I do because I'm a better person than you. I

452
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: think it also factors in deeply with insecurity. I think

453
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: there are a lot of woke white people out there

454
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: that are desperately insecure about their lot in life, and

455
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: they have decided that the way they're going to define themselves.

456
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 1: The way they're going to brand themselves on social media

457
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: is by being virtuous, and that virtue requires that someone

458
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: else is the devil. Right. Most of these people are

459
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: not very religious, but they consider themselves to be christ

460
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: like right, to be totally suffering and to care so

461
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: much more than others about the status and plight of

462
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: people in this country. And so that is their brand,

463
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: and the brand of I care more is really running

464
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: face to face into the reality of wait a minute,

465
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: I was wrong. And this is the part that I

466
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: don't think they can really get to buck. And this

467
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: is what I was saying when we were talking about Portland.

468
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: It's not just that they're wrong, it's that they're actually

469
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: wrong in a way that is hurting the people that

470
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: they claim to care about the most. Because if you're

471
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: super rich and you live in a gated community and

472
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: you're concerned about equity and policing, you've got a gate,

473
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: you might have private security. If you're super rich, you're

474
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: not really in danger yourself. But the black and brown

475
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: people that you claim you care about for equity, they're

476
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: getting murdered in their neighborhoods because you're attacking the police

477
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: to look virtuous on social media. That is the part

478
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: that their brains don't seem to understand. You know, they

479
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: showed us this during COVID as well, with all of

480
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: the stay home, mask up be safe while they then

481
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: went to their phones to order food delivery and go

482
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: and turn on their Netflix, which is powered by the

483
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: people that are still making the electricity company work. And

484
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, if they have a problem with their their heat,

485
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: they call the frontline workers, right or if they decided

486
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: that they were gonna, you know, go into town, maybe

487
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: they rode the train and the frontline workers were there.

488
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: The whole thing. We never even really shut down. We

489
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: had this pseudo shut down so that the laptop couchsurfers

490
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: could pretend that they were heroes defeating a virus, particularly

491
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: in like major urban areas of very blue cities and states,

492
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: and as we know, it did nothing positive. And we're

493
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: still one of the reasons we have all this, you know,

494
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: this this this grinding economic slowdown right now, and people

495
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: are losing their jobs and you know, you're starting to

496
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: feel like there's a stealth depression on the way right now.

497
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: One of the reasons this is happening is because all

498
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: the shutdowns and the spending and what goes up must

499
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: come down. Man. I mean, at the end of the day,

500
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: this was all crazy and they push this with no

501
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: benefit and there's been no real no real consequence from

502
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: it whatsoever. I at least for the Democrats. I just

503
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: think it's outrageous. We spent more money on COVID than

504
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: we did World War Two. I mean that is something

505
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: that I think people out there just you hear that,

506
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: and it lands and you think to yourself whole I mean,

507
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: you probably want to utter a bunch of epidit, you know,

508
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: curse words in a row like I do when you

509
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: see that data. We spent more money fighting COVID than

510
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: we did to beat the Nazis. Yeah, you know, when

511
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: we might actually have on it, might actually have an

512
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: interesting exchange on COVID policies. It might happen in the

513
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Republican primary. It might happen in the Republican primary. I know,

514
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: people aren't necessarily the santis is gonna be in it.

515
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: This is a challenge for Trump. The Santist right now

516
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: is to the right of Trump on COVID. Yes, no

517
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: one has ever come at Trump on his COVID decisions.

518
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: And Fauci. And I know this is for people that

519
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: think Trump's the only one who can win, And I

520
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: get all that it's upsetting to hear it, but I

521
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: think that there's I'm just saying, I'm not even picking

522
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: a side in it other than just to tell you

523
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: right now, I think there's gonna be some big punches

524
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: thrown over this one over the back is what happens when?

525
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: What happens when Ronda Santist turns to Trump and says, well,

526
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: if Operation Warp Speed is such a success, you know why,

527
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: why do you know? What's what's the problem? Like, it's amazing, right,

528
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: tell everybody how great it is. Was it a huge success?

529
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: What do you think? Trump says? What does Trump say

530
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: about the vaccine? A huge sanser is going to be

531
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: the vaccine was a huge success, but we shouldn't have

532
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: had mandates. The problem with that is vaccine was not

533
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: a huge success. He's right on the mandates, but he's

534
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to acknowledge, which is going to be a

535
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: blow to his ego, that Operation Warp Speed, the vaccine

536
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: that was created, is not a vaccine. It's at best

537
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: a minor league, you know, for therapeutic. Yeah. Yeah, and

538
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: it was a disaster. The way that it's been rolled out,

539
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: I think you can expect that, among many other things,

540
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: to be part of the rumble that we are all

541
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: expecting up ahead here in the Republican Primary. I want

542
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: to talk to you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

543
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,720

Speaker 1: to Towers has been honoring America's heroes ever since. The

545

Speaker 1: with mortgage free smart homes. This year alone, hundreds of

547
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: gold Star on fallen first responder families with young children,

548
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: and our nation's most severely injured veterans and first responders

549
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: are receiving homes. More than five hundred homeless veterans received

550
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: housing and services last year and more than fifteen hundred

551
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: receiving housing and services this year. On Memorial Day, all

552
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,360

554

00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. It's great, and I learned things

572
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect. Apparently, right now, Clay tells me that

573
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: there is a mass of line that is pretty much

574
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: shutting down downtown Nashville, and I'm thinking it must be

575
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: there must be some special at peg Leg Porker, and

576
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: people just want to go get amazing barbecue. No, no,

577
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: the line is for a country music singer, and Clay

578
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: says it to me. He's like, oh man, you know

579
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be crazy in downtown. Morgan Wallen is giving

580
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: out tickets to a free concert. And he says it

581
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: to me like he'sn't that crazy? Buck and I have

582
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: to y noticed by the way he's taking over Bridgestone Arena,

583
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: which is where the Nashville Predators play twenty you know,

584
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand seed Arena. They announced at ten am anybody

585
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: can come. If you stand in line at the box office,

586
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: you get two free tickets. So the city of Nashville

587
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: has been in an uproar since I tell Buck this

588
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: during a commercial break, because I'm like, hey, this is

589
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Good for Morgan Wallen doing this. I know

590
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: Morgan a little bit. He's an OutKick fan, big college

591
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: football fan, and Buck no idea who he is, like,

592
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: you would have never heard of had never heard of him,

593
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: never heard the name. I mean you were. It was

594
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: so funny too, because close to me, he's like, oh man,

595
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: this Morgan Wallend concert, this is gonna be wild in

596
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: downtown Nashville's like, who who? Ali? No one else in

597
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: New York has any idea who these people are, who

598
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: he is either. The team in New York has no

599
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: idea either. So I'm just gonna tell you this is

600
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: like where the two worlds collide there, Red State Man.

601
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, So I want you guys to it's rare

602
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: that I'm totally flabbergasted, stunned that my jaw drops. The

603
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: fact that no one else on this show has heard

604
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: of Morgan Wallen before is staggering to me. The guy

605
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: had the number one album in the country. I think

606
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: he broke Elvis's record for the longest number one album

607
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: in the country or the Beatles or somebody. And even

608
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: if you don't know music, and I don't claim to

609
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: be a big music guy, he got in trouble for

610
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: using a facial slur on a like a not secret

611
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: but like an outdoor camera that got leaked to TMZ

612
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: I think, and it was like the number one they

613
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: stopped playing his music like, and you don't you missed
