Just finish launch running upstairs, Buck, I'm almost 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: out of breath. We've got Senator Marsha Blackburn with us now. Senator, 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: so much going on, Thanks for taking the time for 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: us here, and I want to start with this question. 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: What have you heard, if anything, from Joe Mansion. A 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: lot of breaking news as we started the show that 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: he may not be supporting the Build Back Better Bill 13 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: or even voting to allow it to come to the floor. 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: Have you heard anything today about those details. What we 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: are hearing is that he does not wants us to 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: come forward, and I call us to build that broke Look, 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: that's what we're all going to be if they pass 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: this thing. He has some serious concerns about several provisions 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: in the bill. And you know it's not only Mansion 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: in Cinema, but you've got some other Democrats that have 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: tough races this year, and they have a lot of 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: serious concerns about this bill, and of course the bill 23 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: would double the cost of childcare for a lot of 24 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: working families. In essence, what they're trying to do is 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: take one vote, and in that one vote, they want 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: a government to take control of your children, take control 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: of education, of your bank account, of your small business. 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: They want to be able to change election law and 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: implements a Green New Deal. They're just trying to roll 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: it all into this bill. But the more people know 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: about Bill back broke, the less they like it, because 32 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: they're realizing you would have ten years of taxes and 33 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: it would pay for one year of programs that they're 34 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: putting on the books. The taxes are going to be permanent, 35 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: the programs are going to be permanent. And the CBO says, 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: if you make that assumption that these programs remain on 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: the books for the ten year life of this legislation, 38 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: that you are going to have a minimum of three 39 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in new debt, three trillion, and that it's 40 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: not a one point seven five trillion bill, it's actually 41 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: a five trillion dollar bill. Senator Blackburnet's back I just 42 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm wondering about the your expectations for the political fallout 43 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: from this and well how it will go in twenty 44 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: twenty two. Is Mansion possibly going to in in your opinion? 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, Senator Mansion. Well, is you going 46 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: to hold the line on this entirely, meaning there may 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: not even be a build back broke as you put 48 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: it bill past at all? Or is your expectation that 49 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: something will be passed that they'll put under that headline 50 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: of the b B B it just will be a 51 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: dramatically scaled down version and that Mansion would vote for. 52 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: What are your expectations, Well, the window is going to 53 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: run out on this budget reconciliation, and with that happening, 54 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: I think what may be more likely is that they 55 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: will after the window closes on reconciliation, they're going to 56 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: have to divide this bill up and try to pass 57 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: these things one at a time. Now, getting Democrats in 58 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate on the record on these 59 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: different pieces of legislation, that is a really good thing 60 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: for us in the twenty two midterms. Yeah, that is 61 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: what I was going to build on. Senor Blackburn, what 62 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: is your expectation for what the Senate calendar look like 63 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two. As we get closer to the midterms, well, 64 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: you guys basically shut things down. Do you think in 65 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: the summer, what should we anticipate in terms of what 66 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: could come out of Capitol Hill and what could get 67 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: passed or not passed as we move closer and closer 68 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: to the midterms, you know, play One of the things 69 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: they're going to focus on is trying to put judges 70 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: on the bench and put people into the federal government, 71 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: get some of these executive appointments, as they are called, 72 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: people that are running Department of State, Department of Commerce, 73 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: some of their leftists so that they can change the 74 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: rules in a lot of these different departments. So that 75 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: is going to be a big part of their focus. 76 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: And of course they want to pack the court because 77 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: if you're going to get liberal leftist decisions out of 78 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: the court, you've got to put some liberal leftist judges. 79 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: So a democratic judges who are at retirement age, they 80 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: are basically telling these judges, you vacate your position and 81 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: let us put a young activist in your place, so 82 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: that they're going to be on the bench for the 83 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: next thirty years. We're speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator, 84 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: how do you think we're shaping up for possible Republican 85 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Senate control being re established next fall? What do you 86 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: see as the primary I mean, if you are going 87 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: to be obviously a part of the messaging on this, 88 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: what do you think should be the focus? And how 89 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: well is the GOP position? I think the GOP is 90 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: position very well. We've got a lot of security moms 91 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: out there. The immigration and border issues are at the 92 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: top of their list. They don't like crime in the streets, 93 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: they don't like gangs. They're tired to defund the police. 94 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: They don't like what is happening with COVID and mandates 95 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: and the way their children are being taught in school. 96 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: They are tired of inflation and out of control spending. 97 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: Every bit of that vode's well for us. And when 98 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you put all of that in place, and then as 99 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: the domestic issues, and then you look at these foreign 100 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: policy issues. We just today have passed the Defense Authorization 101 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: Act to fund the military. It's the latest we've ever 102 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: been in getting that passed. And of course Joe Biden 103 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: wanted to cut spending to the military, and then you 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: have the debacle in Afghanistan. You have China on the rise. 105 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: Look at the bad actions by the Chinese Communist Party. 106 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: You have Russia conducting a build up on the Ukrainian border, 107 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: and you have all this destabilization on the global front. 108 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: So their domestic agenda they're upside down. Jensuki yesterday could 109 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: not even name one foreign policy achievement of the president. 110 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And of course he kept saying, oh, you know, these 111 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: are all my old buddy's old friends. I'm going to 112 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: get in here and I'm going to put us back 113 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: on the right track. Do you know they loved me man, 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: And that was the way he went through the campaign, 115 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: And it is just not true. And people are looking 116 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: at this and they're astounded. Whether it is Iran in 117 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Israel or Afghanistan or China or Russia or Ukraine, they're 118 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: looking at the mess that this administration has made and 119 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: they're saying, all right, we tried it. It doesn't work. 120 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, one of the things that's got Buck and 121 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: Eye both super fired up is the disaster at the border. 122 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: I know you've paid a lot of attention to it. 123 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: It's not just the disaster at our southern border. It's 124 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: that while Joe Biden is trying to mandate vaccines for 125 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: American citizens, they're letting people just come across our border 126 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: with no COVID testing hardly going on at all. Of 127 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: all the things that Biden has done wrong, and there's 128 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: certainly a lot of them, it seems that the American 129 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: public is rating right now the border as the worst 130 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: of them. Can it get better? What are you seeing 131 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: from your perspective? Oh, my goodness, I hear about the 132 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: border everywhere ago and play. You're exactly right. This is 133 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: what people are talking about, because when you look at 134 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: the fact, we're going to have two million individuals from 135 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: probably one hundred and sixty different countries that will have 136 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: illegally entered this country and then have been processed into 137 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: the United States. Now, then you're going to have somewhere 138 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: between a half million and one and a half million 139 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: of people that are the gotaways. Many of these people 140 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: are coming from trees that have incredibly low vaccine rates, 141 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: like one percent or two percent of the population has 142 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: been vaccinated. You have almicron strain of coronavirus that is 143 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: now on the march, and people are going wait, a minute, 144 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: We've got crime in the street. We've got human traffic in, 145 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: sex trafficking like we have never had. You have all 146 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: of these smash and grab crimes carried out. You have 147 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: grandmothers going to the local mall during the daytime, and 148 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: then you have somebody when they're heading to their car 149 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: trying to grab their packages in their purse and people 150 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: are going, wait a minute, We've never had crime like this. 151 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: And then you know what they're finding out. A lot 152 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: of this is done by gangs. It's carried out by gangs, 153 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: and it is making our communities less safe. It hurts 154 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: our economy, it hurts individuals, and so people are looking 155 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: very closely at what is happening. They're also looking at 156 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: the health issues, the spread of coronavirus and other infections 157 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: and diseases. They're looking at the impact on their community 158 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: of individuals that are coming into these They're looking at 159 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: what is happening with human trafficking and how these traffickers 160 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: are beginning to use social media to actually recruit people 161 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: to work as drug traffickers and sex traffickers, and so 162 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: they're just these issues all find a connection to the 163 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: border and to illegal immigration.

What was 184 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's biggest foreign policy accomplishment this year? Welcome back 185 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: the clan Buck Show. We ask real questions and give 186 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: your real answers, which separates us from about ninety ninety 187 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: five percent of the rest of the media, but we 188 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: will continue to do so. So what is Joe Biden's 189 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: big foreign policy complition? Remember? Foreign policy for the Democrats 190 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: snob types is the area where they think because you know, 191 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: they they studied friends in college or something. They think 192 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: they're very worldly. You know, they took that semester abroad 193 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: in Italy, which all my friends who did it will 194 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: tell you it's great fun. But you're basically just eating 195 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: a lot of panini and going out to the discotheq 196 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: at night. It doesn't necessarily mean I look at it. 197 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: I've not nothing but love for that if you want 198 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: to do it. But I'm just saying it's doesn't doesn't 199 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: mean that you're a scholar of global affairs necessarily. But 200 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: the Libs think of themselves, think of themselves, especially in 201 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: policy circles, as particularly elite on foreign policy, right, so 202 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: much better than Donald Trump, who was, oh gosh, yeah, 203 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: didn't get us in any wars? Did he didn't get 204 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,479 Speaker 1: us in any wars? Didn't actually have a foreign policy catastrophe, 205 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: not one in four years, not one. Here's Joe Biden 206 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: in year one, where we can't even think of what 207 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: would be the upside of his foreign policy. And Jen 208 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Psaki was asked, here's what she said. It's year end, 209 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: very season, So I would ask you, what does the 210 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: administration consider your biggest achievement in foreign policy in this 211 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: first year? And also what lessons have you learned from 212 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: what is arguably the biggest failure. You know, this is 213 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: a great question. I want to be thoughtful about. I 214 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: want to talk to the president about it, and I'm 215 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: happy to do that now. Look wise, it is not fun, 216 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: not fair. Rather, it is fun. It is not fair 217 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: to make fun of Jen Psaki on this because Clay, 218 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: she's asked an impossible question. Right now, how do you 219 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: answer this? Because that's a loser. Anybody who has ever 220 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: been in school had gotten called on and or need 221 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: to hear that again, gotten called That's the first of all, 222 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: a fantastic question. I don't know who asked that question. Also, 223 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: by the way, not an inconceivable question to prep four 224 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: right like into the year, Hey, how would you assess 225 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: the first year? What are you proud of? Now? She 226 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: specifically asked about foreign policy, but it was like you 227 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: could see Jen Psaki just freeze up like her brain, like, 228 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: oh my god, we don't have any foreign policy achievements. 229 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: And it reminds me a couple of times when I 230 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: was in law school. Buck. You know, you have the 231 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: Socratic method where the teacher, for people who haven't experienced this, 232 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: the teacher in the law school classroom just picks one 233 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: student and grills them on a case. And if you 234 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: haven't read that case, if you aren't prepared for that case, 235 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: it is excruciating to watch somebody just get filayed in 236 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: front of the whole class. That's the kind of answer 237 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: you got when you hadn't read the case and hadn't 238 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: done your homework. It's remarkable. It's also noteworthy that we're 239 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: here with Russia having over one hundred thousand troops on 240 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: the boarder with Ukraine, and when I want to make 241 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: sure everyone knows about this, because you're certainly not going 242 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: to hear this from the Biden lackeys in the media. 243 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: There's a very clear pattern here, my friends. When there 244 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: is a left wing Democrat as President Barack Obama, for example, 245 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: Russia feels like it has despite all the Russia Russia 246 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: stuff we heard under Trump, when did Russia sees Crimea? 247 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: When did Russia begin its offensive of separatists in the 248 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: dawn Boss region of eastern Ukraine? Twenty fourteen the Obama administration, 249 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: and then things got real quiet for a while with 250 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: Trump in office. I know that he was the Russian stuge, 251 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: but we actually had about one hundred and fifty or 252 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: so Russian paramilitaries blown up in the Syrian desert. You 253 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: don't hear much about that anymore. When they were threatening 254 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: our Kurdish allies. That was under Trump. You had more sanctions, 255 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: more expulsions, more diplomatic pressure on Russia than ever before. 256 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: That was under Trump. But just to bring it back here, 257 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: now they're getting ready to go into Ukraine under a 258 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Biden administration, and they're already they have been at war 259 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: in Ukraine since twenty fourteen. They seize Crimea, they're at 260 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: war and don Boss, so this would just be an 261 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: escalation Clay almost like they think Democrats don't have much 262 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: in the way of diploma, never mind military acumen, but 263 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: diplomatic teeth. Well, first of all, that was an amazing 264 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: analysis of current foreign policy with Russia and the past 265 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: couple of presidents. But I'm still kind of laughing about 266 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: that Jensaki answer, what actually is their best foreign policy achievement? 267 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: If she had to spin it, what do you think 268 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: The answers is, you know, you and I do a 269 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: lot of talking for letting right. If I'm put there, 270 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: if they were gonna say, they're gonna say, buck, you know, 271 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: We'll give you a million dollars just to answer this question, 272 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: I could probably I might say something about Paris, you know, 273 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,119 Speaker 1: climbing in the future, something something, you know, YadA YadA. 274 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: But there's nothing. There's nothing, and you would think that 275 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: the pivot, I think would usually be we've put in 276 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: place the big gettings of the but there is no 277 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: Biden doctrine. It's such a fantastic as I think probably 278 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: what I would spend is we stood up to China 279 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: and we aren't taking we aren't going to have diplomatic 280 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: relations for the Olympics. Wait a second, we're continuing the 281 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: Trump policies in China. I'm supposed to start, Well, you 282 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: certainly can't talk about anything having to do with Romain 283 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: in Mexico or Central America. You can't talk about anything Afghanistan. 284 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: You can't talk about anything Russia. As you just laid out. 285 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: The only thing I can even think of is the 286 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: China angle. Now you might be able to She probably 287 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: should have just gone back to the answer for every subject. 288 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: Democrats say everything is racist, which doesn't apply very well 289 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: in foreign affairs because arguably their biggest foreign affairs move 290 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: was banning travel to Africa, which was called racist. I 291 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: think they have to just go with global warming and 292 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: just try to claim they did something there. I think 293 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: you're right, global warming, scream something about racism, and next 294 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: question sake the Jensak story. So thinking about what to 295 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: buy someone for Christmas, Well, I've got my list and 296 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: I'm checking it twice, and it's got a lot of 297 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: Tommy John loungewear, underwear, pajamas, T shirts.

We 311 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: earlier in the show shared Joe Biden and I don't 312 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: even do you think they just flipped in the wrong 313 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: teleprompter for Biden Buck that he suddenly was like, Hey, 314 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: we don't have a we have a pandemic of the unvaccinated, 315 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: like it was still June or July, Like it's so antiquated. 316 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: By the way. We talked with Alex Barrenson encourage you 317 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: to check him out on the podcast top of hour two. 318 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: We also talked with Senator Marsha Blackburn. But it's so 319 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: antiquated in terms of the data that it's a direct 320 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: lie effectively. And here's another lie. So the CBO buck, 321 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about this yesterday. Congressional Budget Office, 322 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: nonpart is it. Not Democrats, not Republicans. They came out 323 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: and they said, hey, what's the ten year cost of 324 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: this Build Back Better bill, which, by the way, it 325 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: appears Joe Mansion is not going to support. It is 326 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: dead at least for this year. We'll see what happens 327 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: at the start of twenty twenty two. But we said 328 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: the I think was Lindsay Graham, a Republican senator from 329 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: South Carolina, said, hey, what's the overall cost here? Let's 330 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: presume that all of these all of these provisions being 331 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: voted on are not sunset. What's the overall cost. Well, 332 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: the answer was it would add three trillion dollars, three 333 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: trillion dollars to our national debt. They didn't stop Joe 334 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: Biden from going out in Ohio and lying to the 335 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: American public book. He said it would cause zero. This 336 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: is what he said yesterday. What do you say to 337 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: people in the Daton area, mister President, who have expressed 338 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: concerns about whether trillions more in federal spending will will 339 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: help when you have an inflation in a year forty 340 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: year high. The way I say to them, this is 341 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: not going to cost a single solitary penny. We're not 342 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: going to increase the deficit by one cent in the 343 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: build back better plan at all. This is just a lie, 344 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: direct the lie. And beyond that, it's so apparent that 345 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: the Democrats do this on a whole range of issues 346 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: they won't even tell you what the real trade off 347 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: of their decision making will be. Right, You can do 348 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: this with any number of things. Criminal justice reform, Okay, well, 349 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: you might let some people out a little bit earlier, 350 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: a little bit sooner, for because of the bail reform law, 351 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: for example. But if if this spreads the whole system, 352 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: you're going to also have more crime, more people getting hurt, 353 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: more people being attacked. They don't look at cause and 354 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: effect and speak about it honestly. On the economy, what 355 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: could be more clear than first of all, there's no 356 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: way they're not going to have tax increases along with 357 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: this that go far beyond. This is the oldest trick 358 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: in the book. Right, we've seen this how many times 359 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: in everyone listening to this living memory. The Democrats say, 360 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: it'll just be the rich you pay for it. That's 361 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: not actually how it works. But beyond that then it 362 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: won't add anything. We're talking about trillions of dollars of spending, 363 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: and that goes in addition to the what is it 364 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: now three and change trillion a year the federal government's 365 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: leave spending. It's pretty close to four and so that 366 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: is just a function of math. But they lie. They 367 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: lie to people. They say it won't cost a penny. 368 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: They say it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. They say 369 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: that they want to secure border that they never said, 370 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: defund the police. These are things that affect people too, Right, 371 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: Donald Trump saying that he has the best hair in 372 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: the history of the world, which you don't. Maybe, I mean, 373 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: God's got great hair. Let's show respect where it's due. 374 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: But they used to say, oh my gosh, he's lying. 375 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: He doesn't. There's no data, there's no metrics on Donald 376 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: Trump's hair being the best. They freaked out about everything 377 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: Trump said. Meanwhile, they lie big, They lie about stuff 378 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: that matters to people. Yeah, here's what I would say, 379 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: it's such a good point. What I would say about 380 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 1: Trump's lies were he was bulling at China Shop, just 381 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: knocking things over, disrupting so much of the establishment. But 382 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Trump got to the right result. He didn't always get 383 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: there in a flawless fashion, and that's one of the 384 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: areas where I think he left himself open to so 385 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: much attack. It created the opportunity to come after him. 386 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: But his end results were the right place. The difference 387 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: with Democrats is they lie, and the lies are transparent 388 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: and lead to the wrong result. And we've seen it 389 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: with crime, defund the police, We've seen it with the border, 390 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: We've seen it with COVID, We've seen it with inflation. 391 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: They lie and they get to the wrong result. And 392 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: so it is really infuriating because we had such an 393 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: obsession with Trump. Remember, democracy dies in darkness. They put 394 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: that at the top of the Washington Post, which I 395 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: think is it still there. I think it's still there 396 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: as if they were like some saviors of the world. 397 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: And then they got so many things wrong. You know, Buck, 398 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: The Washington Post did a feature on me. I was 399 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: talking to you about this off the air the other day, 400 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: this before we were doing the show twenty five hundred words. 401 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: I talked to him for an hour. They use like 402 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: twenty five of my words in a quote, and the 403 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: quotes were wrong. I had transcribed it. I put it 404 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: up on OutKick. There's so much failure and lack of 405 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: intelligence and just bad motive in journalism that the idea 406 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: that these people are the saviors of anything is a joke. 407 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure, Buck, can you think of any 408 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: other profession that praises itself more than journalists? Hollywood maybe, 409 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: but Hollywood they understand, like, hey, you know what, we 410 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: make movies, We're entertainers. Like on some level, I think 411 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: they understand that what they do doesn't matter. I can't 412 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: think of a single profession that praises itself more than journalists. 413 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, journalists pretend to be the firefighters of our democracy, 414 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, putting out the arson of fascism and tyranny. 415 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: When what was always fascinating to me about the way 416 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: they position themselves during the Trump administration is that in 417 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: authoritarian regimes, everybody, and don't ever forget this, the press 418 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: is aligned with the government. That's what you're seeing now 419 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: under Joe Biden is what you would have in an 420 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: authoritarian regime. You know, I was in the CIA, and yeah, 421 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: I spent time abroad in some countries where bad things 422 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: were happening, But also a big part of it was 423 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: studying the history of learning the history of authoritarian regimes. 424 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: When you have ninety five percent of the press against 425 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: the regime getting richer and more famous and more powerful 426 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: for not only criticizing, but actively trying to subvert, undermine, 427 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: and overthrow by weaponizing the Department of Justice through lies 428 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: with Russia collusion. That is, my friends, that is not 429 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: a circumstance where you have in an authoritarian system. The 430 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: authoritarian system is the one where everybody with a platform 431 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: is praising what is which feels more authoritarian under that rubric, 432 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: under that framework. Pretty sure we all know it's Biden. 433 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: I used to ask that question all the time. If 434 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: Trump is such a dictatorial threat, how come everybody is 435 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: so comfortable calling him a dictator. Yeah, like in any 436 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: country where you actually have a dictator, there's not people 437 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: getting rich by saying, oh, what an awful dictator this 438 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: guy is, because they get yanked right off the street 439 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: and put in jail. The people who ripped Trump the 440 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: most vociferously in the entire country, made the most money. 441 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: That's the exact opposite of a dictatorship. CNN needs Trump, Well, 442 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: this is the real they need him back. What did 443 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: they do? They're running this January sixth, They all day 444 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: it's January six and then you know, and then CNN's 445 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: dealing with and by the way, nobody cares about that. 446 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: The ratings reflected, Yeah, because what exactly are we if 447 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: we were learning new stuff? And as we discussed, they 448 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: went after people. They released the text messages of some 449 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: Fox hosts showing what was already for a lot of 450 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: US public record, in public sentiment, which is everybody on 451 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: the right. As soon as they realized the riot got 452 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: you know, that there a riot had started and that 453 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: what was at got of control, said knockta crap off 454 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: right away. You're playing right into left hands. This is illegal, 455 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: It is disrespectful. Don't do this. Yeah, that's what we do. 456 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: Go back and look at you know, former CNN anchor 457 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo during BLM riots saying, hey, we'd just say 458 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: you gotta be peaceful, you know, assembly peaceful, And as 459 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: people pointed out, it actually does say it in the constitution, 460 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: but that's a whole other thing, right, they were making 461 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: excuses for riots, Well they were protests, buck what, mostly 462 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: peaceful protests. That's that's the moment that everybody that is crystallized. 463 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: It perfectly is when you're standing in front of a 464 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: burning building and there are gunshots ringing out in the background, 465 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: and you describe it as a mostly peaceful protest. You're 466 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: being told And I think this happens all too often. 467 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: I think this is why this show is growing. It 468 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: certainly happens in many left wing stories right now. Is 469 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: you're told things that you know are one hundred percent 470 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: not true. Men should swim against women and compete evenly. No, 471 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: no, no no, that defeat. No, that doesn't make sense. That's 472 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: what you're being told. Peaceful protests. January six was an insurrection. 473 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,479 Speaker 1: These are all wise. It's remarkable, folks. And just to 474 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: speak the truth these days, borrow from that quote of 475 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: unknown providence, really is a revolutionary act. People always say 476 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: it's all well, but it does feel like that these days. 477 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: Just speak the truth is like your own private revolution 478 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: of one every day. But that's why we try to 479 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: do that for all of you, and also bring your 480 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: voices in here. On the show and discuss what's really 481 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: going on. Let's focus on the health of your beloved 482 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: pooch for a minute. We want our dogs to live 483 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: for a long time with a healthy life. One part 484 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: of that as their diet. Dry kibble food is a 485 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: good and steady thing to feed your dog, but it 486 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: has to be paired with a healthy supplement if you 487 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: want your dogs digestive system and health to be its best. 488 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: You see, all that dry kibble food has to be 489 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: manufactured in a process that requires it to be sterilized. 490 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: Has to be that way if it's gonna sit on 491 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: a supermarket shelf for months at a time, and when 492 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: you sterilize the food, you kill any of the live 493 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: ingredients that help your dogs digestive system. I'm talking about probiotics, enzymes, vitamins, 494 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: the good microbacteria that living creatures like dogs like us 495 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: that we need. You won't get those in regular dog food. 496 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: When you add a healthy supplement called rough greens to 497 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: your dog's diet, you add those back in.

We really want to set an all 514 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: time record for podcasts in December, even though we're gonna 515 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a short month because we'll 516 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: be on holiday at the end of the month. But 517 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: that just means that we need all of you listening 518 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: to subscribe to the Clay Travis and Buck Sex and 519 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Show podcast.

So here is just I 524 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: just honestly thought this was really interesting. I want to 525 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: have Clay react to it and we could talk about 526 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: a little bit because you often hear America is such 527 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: a racist country. And yes, tomorrow we've already we've already 528 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: put a pin in this topic, so to speak. Tomorrow 529 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Netflix documentary about bub Bubba Wallace, 530 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: right is that the driver's name, Yeah, Bubba Wallace and NASCAR, 531 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: the new incident that was alleged that the FBI investigated 532 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: and found out it was just a pull down garage rope. 533 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: For those of you forgot, we'll talk to you because 534 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: there's all this promo going on right now about that 535 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: about that Netflix documentary. But you know, we hear America's 536 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: such a racist country. Here's some left all the time. 537 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: It's interesting because we like to look at facts and 538 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: market forces and actual decisions that people make. You know, what, 539 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: why do I know that people that spout off about 540 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: climate change who are super rich and connected don't really 541 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: meet it because they buy beachfront property as fast as 542 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: they can and the most expensive they possibly can. They 543 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: don't live their lives under the belief that they have. 544 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: We're supposed to be, according to Left, such a racist country. 545 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: Yet we have not only immigrants who want to come here, 546 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: who are non white from all over the world. They 547 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: do very well here. Now there are two voices on 548 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: the issue of raci in America that I want you 549 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: to become more familiar with them. We'll have what we 550 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: should invite them on the show. Actually, Jonathan McCord, who 551 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: is a professor Clumby University, and Glenn Lowry, who's also 552 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: a professor. I believe that Brown University. I could be 553 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: wrong on that, but they're also writers in public intellectuals. 554 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: I just wanted you to hear and then Claire I 555 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: wanted to react to it this back and forth about 556 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: how they essentially debunking this argument of America is so racist. 557 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: These are two African American intellectuals, really fascinating individuals. Play 558 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: it's said to be a microaggression to observe that this 559 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: is the place that people want to actually come. America 560 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: is supposed to be so racist. How comes so many 561 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: people from non white ports of war gen are risking 562 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: everything to get here. America's supposed to have no opportunity 563 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: is according to the Tana Jaskoss in the world, the 564 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: American dream is a fraud. Then how come so many 565 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: people are seeing their lives made so much better, in 566 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: the lives of their children made so much better by 567 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: being able to participate in this society? And again the 568 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: error points backwards. How come black people are not themselves 569 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: seizing these opportunities? Very difficult question, A lot that can 570 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: be said about it, but white supremacy. That's a childish, foolish, 571 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: intellectually infantile, but politically convenient response to the question. Why 572 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: are black people not availing ourselves of the same opportunities 573 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: that people from every quarter of this world who are 574 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: not Europeans seem to be able to make the best 575 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: of This is an interesting it's you can connect the 576 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: argument to Nigerian immigrants to America outperform on a per 577 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: capita basis, outperform native born or white Americans economically by 578 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: household So, if we have a white supremacist society, which 579 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: is what we're told all the time, how is it 580 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: that non white immigrants from all over the world, and 581 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: we welcome and love them in our American family. Of course, 582 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: how is it they do so well and we're happy 583 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: that they do. The fact that no one who argues 584 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: that America is systemically racist can defend is this one 585 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: that I'm about to share with all of you. Asian 586 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: men are the highest earning regardless of how long they've 587 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: been in the country. Asian men are the highest earning 588 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: ethnic group in the entire country. If white supremacy was 589 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: the underlying foundation of everything in America, how is it 590 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: that Asian men, many of whom have not been in 591 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: this country for very long, are dunking all over white, black, 592 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: and Hispanic men and women. How is that possible in 593 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: a fundamentally systemically racist country. The defense they'll sometimes gift now, 594 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: which is an utterly ridiculous one, is Asian people don't 595 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: count as a minority. Yeah, that's the defense that they've 596 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: learned this term recently because they just made it up. 597 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Just always remember this. They make up 598 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: new terms to fit whatever the political need may be. 599 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: This is the leftist constantly doing this. They try to 600 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: make you use certain terms like undocumented, but they also 601 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: which is made up, but they also will make up 602 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: entirely new white adjacent Why is how the left will 603 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: to Asian Americans, to which you say, huh, but you 604 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: know this is This is also reflected in the overt 605 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: racism of elite institutions against Asian Americans, places like Harvard University. 606 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: When they tell you that they aren't discriminating against Asians 607 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: in favor of other minority groups, they are lying. And 608 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,439 Speaker 1: that's why the Supreme Court is looking at this issue. 609 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: They are lying. Hope the Supreme Court takes it up 610 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: and buck. This is also an interesting fact historically. Do 611 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: you know why the SAT came to exist because Jewish 612 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: people were being discriminated Again, it was to create meritocracy 613 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: and academy. Ye, so that Jewish people instead of just 614 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: white Anglo Anglo Sexton Protestants from the right family. You 615 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: can say Anglo Sexton. Yeah, that's an old school right 616 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: wasps Anglo Saxon not Sexton Sextons me anglod Sorry, yes, 617 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: but they tried. They tried to create a system that 618 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: favored artificially people from a certain background. Now we're tearing 619 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: down the SAT because the meritocracy is not fair, because 620 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: Asians dominate test scores and grades too much. I mean, 621 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a crazy world. Yeah, life is not fair. 622 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: You just want a law, a legal system that's as 623 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: fair as it can be, and then let the chips 624 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: fall where they may. But angle Mark is really funny. 625 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: By the way, that should be your fantasy football name. 626 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: I don't even know how to play fantasy football. Now 627 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: you gotta have it. That's a great team name. You 628 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: gotta do it. Oh man, we're gonna have fun tomorrow. Folks. 629 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: Tune in, then claim back over and out. You're listening 630 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: to Clay Travis said.
