Welcome to the Clay Travis and Buck 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. This is Buck in New York City. I 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: got my man Clay out in Los Angeles, California, and 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: we have much to discussed today on the show. Talking 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: to you about the latest with the Southwest Airlines debacle 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: of the weekend. Was it really people calling out sick? 8 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: Were they're using up sick time? Was it a combination 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: of factors? Is it really pushed back against vaccine mandates? 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Speaking of vaccine mandates, revisiting yesterday the announcement by Texas 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: that no vas mandates of any kind, private, public, you 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: name it allowed in that state by state law or 13 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: by executive order of the governor, and that is now 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: forcing a showdown with the federal government. We'll have COVID 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: updates for you where we stand right now in that 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: fight and the suppression of our freedoms, and then much more, 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: maybe even some follow up on the Gruden reside Nation 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: yesterday and other ten bits from the sports world courtesy 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: of mister Clay. But people are recognizing that the fight 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: over school boards and what's going on what's being taught 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: to your children is a critical front right now in 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: what could be called an American counter revolution. Just by 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: way of a quick review, you had the Maoist Cultural 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Revolution in China in the sixties, stretching into the seventies. 25 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: For about a decade, there was an effort by the 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Communist Party in China to completely remake, to undo the past, 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: and remake the President of China in a vicious and 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: thuggish campaign where lots of people were killed, people were persecuted. 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: It was horrible and just as we should always look 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: to those who have fled tyranny and come to America 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: as reminders of why this place is so great. Here 32 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: is a parent and she's gone viral, and this was 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: up on Fox News. This was the main story on 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Foxnews dot com this morning. A parent who has gone 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: viral because she's saying that the Department of Justice putting 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: out an email notification warning from the Attorney General's Office 37 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: saying that they're going to start looking at parents who 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: speak up at meetings. This is a major concern and 39 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: should put people on edge because of the very clear 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: comparisons with some of the rhetoric of the Cultural Revolution. 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: The attacks on people, the divisiveness. Here's what she said. 42 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: When I was in China, I spent my entire school 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: years in the Chinese Culture Revolution, so I'm very, very 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: familiar with the communist tactics of how they divide people, 45 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: how they can sold the Chinese traditional culture and destroy 46 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: our heritage, and all this is happening here in America. 47 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: Now they are labeling parents and concerned citizen like me 48 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: as domestic terrorists. What that can do? You mean, Lucy Freedom? 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: I do have a question. What's next step? Is the 50 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: Kier i'mond square crackdown? The next with the parents one 51 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: day risk their live just to speak up for their children. 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: That's why I'm here. What is the next step? Play well? 53 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: I think the next step needs to be Glen Yunkin 54 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: needs to win in Virginia because I think that would 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: be a major punch back against the idea of critical 56 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: race theory. And for people who missed it, we had 57 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Glenn Junkin on yesterday, and I believe what has become 58 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: the most essential detail, the most essential battleground in his 59 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: race against Terry mccauliffe for that Virginia governatorial seat, which 60 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: will be decided next month it's over schools. It's over 61 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: what kids are being taught. It's over who has the 62 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: right to look and debate about what is being taught. Buck. 63 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: This this idea that the Department of Justice is looking 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: into what parents say at school boards. I appreciate what 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: that woman said in her statement. The people who understand 66 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: how scary this is are oftentimes not Americans, Buck. They're 67 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: people who have lived and seen what happens when the 68 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: government starts to clamp down on what opinions are allowed 69 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: and what opinions are not. And I say this, Buck, 70 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: as a parent who went to one of those school 71 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: board meetings that the President has referenced many times as 72 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: being unacceptable. And I just got to tell you, I 73 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: left that school board meeting and I told you this, 74 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: and I told you on the air more happy, more 75 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: optimistic about what was going on in the country than 76 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: I have been in a very long time. Because what 77 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: we need is not the DJ investigating so called domestic 78 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: harris at school boards. We need more more people out 79 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: there at the absolute grassroots level getting involved and fighting 80 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: back against the idea that America is the evil place, 81 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: which is what is being culcated in our kids right 82 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: Now it's not to say that America is perfect. It isn't. 83 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Nothing created by man has ever been perfect. But America 84 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: is the greatest country to ever be created in the 85 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: history of the world. And that used to be a 86 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: uniting theory that everybody in America shared. Now we don't. 87 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: And that is a designed attempt to destroy the legitimacy 88 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: of this country's backbone. And I think we got to 89 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: take up arms against it in an aggressive way. And 90 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the best way to do that is for parents to 91 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: show up and speak out and pay attention to who's 92 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: on the school boards and who's at these lower level positions. 93 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a major point 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: of failure for the Democrats, because I think they're going 95 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: to lose the Virginia election over this. Speaking of the 96 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: school board meetings, Scott Smith was a parent who went 97 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: to one of these meetings, and there is an excellent story, 98 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: in depth story by the Daily Wires Luke Rosiac on this. 99 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be talking to Luke later on today on 100 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: TV about this. Luke is he's gone deep into this 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: story and when you read the details of this, it's 102 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: honestly enraging. There are some stories you read and you 103 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: get angry as you go through it. And this all 104 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: centers around a school board meeting. Play on June twenty second, 105 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Scott Smith in Loudon County, which we know is the 106 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: front line of this loud County, Virginia. He was at 107 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: a school board meeting which was deemed an unlawful assembly. 108 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: As Rosiac writes in the piece here, and what people 109 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: didn't realize and as Smith was arrested at this meeting, 110 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: he was a concerned parent arrested was that he was 111 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: there because one of the topics was about transgender students, 112 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: male transgender students using the female bathroom. His ninth grade 113 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: daughter had been sexually assaulted by a transgender student in 114 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: a Loudon County public school mere weeks before. Activists said 115 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: that he was lying. When he tried to raise this, 116 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: police wrestled him to the ground, his pants got pulled down, 117 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: his face was bloodied, and he was treated like essentially 118 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: a domestic terrorist or somebody who was an insurrectionist or 119 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: whatever the rhetoric is that they want to use. And Smith, 120 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: then for the left, was held up. I know who 121 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: was on Laura's show last night on Fox News and 122 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: people are now finally hearing his story. He was held 123 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: up as an example of the scary angry parents at 124 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: the school board, completely ignoring the fact that this is 125 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: a guy whose teenage daughter was assaulted by a male 126 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: student who likes to wear a skirt sometimes in the 127 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: ladies room the girl's bathroom weeks before at the school, 128 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: and the school said they were handling it in house. 129 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: They tried to cover it up. He went to the 130 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Sheriff's department. Fortunately they did take it seriously. There was 131 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: a rape kit given to this girl. They did get 132 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: information that can be used in their criminal proceeding. Now 133 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: we're talking about miners here, so everything is sealed. There's 134 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: a lot that's not out there but isn't so it's 135 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: really truly unsettling. It's kind of frightening that this concerned 136 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: father who's angry about his daughter being sexually assaulted in 137 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: her high school tries to talk about this at a 138 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: school board meeting and the cops plant him on the ground, 139 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: face first, his pants are pulled down. He's mocked and 140 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: ridiculed on video, and he's I guess what Merrick Garland, 141 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: the Attorney General's talking about, is a insurrectionist, domestic terrorist parent. 142 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: It's outrageous. It's also outrageous that if you share a 143 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: story like this, it's as if it isn't allowed to 144 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: be discussed. This is the fear right when you have 145 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: anybody who wants to use any bathroom that they could 146 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: that you could have biological teenage boys. Right, We've been Buck, 147 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: biological teenage boys. We oftentimes, I always say, the dumbest 148 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: human being on the planet are fourteen and fifteen and 149 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: sixteen year old boys. Right. And the other thing I 150 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: always say is there's never very often a girl whose 151 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: final two words or watch this, and yet they are 152 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: all these stupid teenage boys doing all sorts of stupid things. 153 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: And it's eminently foreseeable that if you just allow people 154 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: to decide what gender they are, and you're going to 155 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: allow them to go into any private place inside of 156 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: a school, that issues like this could arise, and that 157 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: should be a big part of the debate when you 158 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: try to make decisions such as these. So the idea 159 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: that you would not allow a parent to speak out 160 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: and share why he is opposing a policy, and that 161 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: you would demonize him based on sharing that story is 162 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: evidence Buck of narrative trumping reality, narrative, trumping everything. If 163 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: you are willing to you speak out in a way 164 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: that challenges the prevailing liberal narrative, you will be attacked 165 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: and people will try to end you. They'll try to 166 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: cancel you. Even get it gets worse, Clay, I mean, 167 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: we'll have to come back and tell people about how 168 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: did the school principle and school officials react to the 169 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: father showing up to the school when he found out 170 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: that his ninth grade daughter had been sexually assaulted by 171 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: a transdude in the bathroom. How did the prosecutor? Remember, 172 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: people think loudon County just everybody knows it's a high 173 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: per capita income county with a lot of Democrats. This 174 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: is not some super red county. So you do have, 175 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: for example, the prosecutor is a progressive, and how the 176 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: prosecutor who the prosecutor want to send a prison I 177 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: can tell you so far. Not the sexual assault. By 178 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: the way, two sexual assaults allegedly committed by the transgender student, 179 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: the first one and then a second one that happened 180 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: just in October, according to this Roseac piece in the 181 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Daily Wire. So there's more details here. People need to 182 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: know about this, people who know. You can't trust the 183 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: school board in some of these places, you can't trust 184 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: the principles, administrators, the prosecutors I will see. The only 185 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: people who look with some seriousness in this, like they 186 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: were doing their jobs. Sheriff's Department Law enforcement took the 187 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: allegation seriously. They acted everybody else Clay in the bureaucracy 188 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: trying to cover for what they feel like would be 189 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: a blow to the trans agenda, essentially because that was 190 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: also the topic at this school board, at this school 191 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: board meeting. So we got more details for you, and 192 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: let's pare that, by the way, buck to the way 193 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: that they would have reacted if a trans student had 194 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: claimed that they were being assaulted because they were trans, 195 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: that would be a national news story that CNN would 196 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: run for days and days on the front page of 197 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: cnn dot com, and you know, as a top story, 198 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: and there would be panels, there'd be there'd be a 199 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: law probably named in order to prevent it. So we'll 200 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: come back from this in its narrative over facts. That's 201 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: what's happening every day in this country. When you're online browsing, 202 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: do you use Chrome, well, incognito mode might help you 203 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: a little bit, but guess what the fine print tells you. 204 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, 205 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: your ESP All that stuff is tracked, so how can 206 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: you even call it incognito.

Appreciate all of you hanging out 229 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: with us as we roll through the Wednesday edition of 230 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: the program. One of the big challenges Buck is the 231 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: idea of narrative over facts, and I feel in many 232 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: ways that we live in a post fact era because 233 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: what matters is not what's occurring, it's how the individual 234 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: story plays into the prevailing narrative. And the prevailing narrative 235 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: is if you say anything other than transgender people are 236 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the greatest humans who have ever existed. Effectively, if you 237 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: raise any issues about transgender athletes competing against in women's 238 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: sports and winning, we had Olympians who used to be 239 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: men that became women. We got state high school champions 240 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: who are men competing as women. We've got bathrooms where 241 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say, hey, let's in a high 242 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: school require that people go to the bathroom of their 243 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: respective gender. Because these are private spaces, and there may 244 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: be impossible cases some danger associated with allowing same sex sorry, 245 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: people of opposite genders to be using the same bathrooms 246 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: in public high schools. Like this is not a crazy idea, 247 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: right anybody who has ever been in a high school 248 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: can imagine how a dangerous situation could arise like that. So, Buck, 249 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: what is the latest procedural posture here, because it seems 250 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: quite clear to me that what occurred was the fact 251 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: pattern didn't fit the narrative. So instead of the fact 252 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: pattern being examined in a rigorous way, which is what 253 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: the judicial system's job is, instead the dad here became 254 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: the target of derision and an attack. Yeah, the father 255 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: was held up here. Scott Smith was held up as 256 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: the exemplar, if you will, of the angry parent at 257 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: the school board meeting who poses a threat to public safety, industry, 258 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: and order. And what you find is that, first of all, 259 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: because in part there was an effort within the school 260 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: to keep the first sexual assault of Smith's daughter. Remember 261 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: the people involved here, both the assailant and the victim 262 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: are are minors, so everything is sealed. Their names are 263 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: not in the public domain. But the first sexual assault 264 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: was kept quiet. There was a second sexual assault, and 265 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: the Daily Wire and Luke Rosiak big hat tip to 266 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: him for this story, has confirmed that the same name 267 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: has been attached, at least behind closed doors, to both 268 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: of these sexual assaults two different girls or the same 269 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: girl doing different I mean different girls, transgen under mail 270 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: assaulting two different girls, and the school when Scott oh, 271 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: when Scott Smith and he was on when he was 272 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: on Laura Ingraham show last night on Fox News, I 273 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: know that he talked about this situation. But Scott Smith 274 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: was arrested, and he was arrested, and then later on 275 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: he came to the school. Sorry, he's rested school board meeting. 276 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: When he came to school, initially they called the police 277 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: on him, and then the principle put out a statement 278 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: when he was angry about the sexual assault of his daughter. 279 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: The principal petitive statement saying there was a disturbance at 280 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the school and Smith was the bad guy. There was 281 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: no talk about the threat to public safety from a 282 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: student who had sexually assaulted another student in the bathroom 283 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: using this trans policy. Allegedly, that's how this whole thing 284 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: got going because he was in the girls' bathroom and 285 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: you know this is this is these are the facts, 286 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: the cases, we know them. But they went after the parent, 287 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: and then the progressive prosecutor wanted to throw a number 288 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: of charges at him and make him serve the father 289 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: jail time, real jail time, a couple of weeks in jail. 290 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: Because this is a prosecutor Clay who ran on a 291 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: end mass incarceration platform, but a threat to the transagenda 292 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: in this case of bathroom policy, and he's a bad 293 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: guy according to the left. That's what happens. And again, 294 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: this is I think going to become significant because as 295 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: you said in Loudon County, this is the flashpoint I 296 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: believe that may well decide the Virginia governatorial election, not 297 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: just this particular incident as described in the Daily Wire, 298 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: but the larger battles over CRT, overmasking students, over the 299 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: way that kids are being treated in public schools in Virginia, 300 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: and the fact that Terry mccauliffe, the former governor, came 301 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: out and said that parents didn't have a right to 302 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: decide what their kids were going to be taught in school. 303 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: And so this is the major flash point right now.

Now, 329 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: we have been talking about the Southwest Airline situation the 330 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: last few days, and it was certainly a big news 331 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: item over the weekend because you had a couple of 332 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: thousand flights canceled, which affected a whole lot of folks, 333 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: and the belief was among many that this was the 334 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: result of people calling out, calling out sick, essentially taking 335 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: action in order to push back against the vaccine mandate 336 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: that Southwest has. Now Southwest had it. CEO come out 337 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: and say he doesn't like vaccine mandates, but what's he 338 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: going to do? The federal government has said you have 339 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: to have this implemented. And it looks like this is 340 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: going to play out now between the state of Texas 341 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: and the federal government on who who has supremacy on 342 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: this issue. But HAROLDO over at Fox had quite a 343 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: clipwood this one out to be had quite a reaction. Yeah, 344 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: he seemed a little bit agitated about this one. Let's 345 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: hear what he had to say. And these airline pilots 346 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: are screwing the public. And the worst of all, it 347 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: is not the pilots, because they, I say, use whatever 348 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: weapons you had. It's Chip Roy, the Carnerson from San 349 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: Antonio and Austin. This guy is an ideological lunatic, he 350 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: said when he looked at the crowd of people who 351 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: could not get on their Southwest flights because they were canceled. 352 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: So forth, this makes me happier than I can possibly articulate. 353 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: Eat it, Southwest Airlines. This is a guy getting on 354 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: a sexual pleasure from the chaos and getting the sexual 355 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: pleasure the susuption to make this sexual. You're a sick man, 356 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: Congressman Roy, I challenge you, what did you mean when 357 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: you say to eat it to Southwest Airlines? Who ridiculous 358 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: amazing clip from Heraldo there. First of all, if you 359 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: get sexual pleasure from people standing in line to get 360 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: on an airplane flight, you got a lot bigger issues 361 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: than whether or not the pilots have a COVID vaccine mandate. 362 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: All right, let's start there. But this to me is 363 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: a big story. We appreciate the callers we got yesterday 364 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: from Southwest Airlines kind of putting this into context for us, Buck, 365 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: But this is a big story because what you are seeing, 366 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna talk about this a little bit at 367 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: the start of the second hour, is a lot of 368 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: people from a variety of different backgrounds are now standing 369 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: up against the idea of COVID vaccine mandates. And they're 370 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: being labeled, of course, because narrative over facts, as anti vacts. 371 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, most people out there are not 372 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: opposed to vaccinations. It's a tiny minority of the population 373 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: that has that perspective at all. What is going on 374 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: is people are anti COVID vaccine mandates in order to 375 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: have to keep your job, and there is a desperate 376 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: attempt to delegitimize those very legitimate perspectives Buck, in the 377 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: name of trying to delegitimize the person. So this is 378 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: the number one playbook of left wing arguments now, and 379 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: I want all of you to recognize what goes on. 380 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: He didn't criticize Look, even Haraldo there. What happens is 381 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: you don't attack the idea. We can debate ideas, you 382 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: attack the person, right, and so immediately what happens is 383 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: if you raise your hand and say, hey, you know 384 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: what I've looked at all the metrics. I don't think 385 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: that five year olds need to get the COVID vaccine. 386 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: That's my perspective. People don't argue about the data. Although interestingly, Buck, 387 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: did you see The New York Times had a story 388 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: up finally yesterday where they said, hey, turns out kids 389 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: aren't actually in danger from COVID statistically. It's like, oh, yeah, 390 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: nineteen months later, you finally come around. But what happens 391 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: is the person themselves is attacked. You are anti vax. No, 392 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: I've looked at the data and I don't believe that 393 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: COVID vaccines make sense for five year olds in this 394 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: country given the current data. That makes you anti vax 395 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: even though it's not true. That's the attack. If you say, hey, 396 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: you know, I'm opposed to the idea of critical race theory, 397 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: what's the response. It's not a debate over critical race theory. 398 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: Usually it's your racist Yeah. Ad hominem attack is something 399 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: the left excels in. It's actually central in their toolkit 400 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: of trying to silence people, though these days they have 401 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: so many levels of power to wield, with social media 402 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: platform censorship and the government, the DOJ perhaps putting out 403 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: a memo saying, yeah, we're looking at you, parent that 404 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: are a little too noisy about critical race theory in schools. 405 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: Same thing, by the way, with anybody who's too noisy 406 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: about mask mandates in schools, which you certainly know about 407 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: from what you dealt with in Tennessee. This is the 408 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: reality that we are all up against right now. Governor 409 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: you spoke about the difference between being opposed to vaccines 410 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: and being opposed to vaccine mandates. I think at some 411 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: level the left really doesn't believe that there is such 412 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: a thing as individual freedom. There's only the elective will 413 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: as expressed through endless government authority. And that's really a 414 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: central psychological and emotional separation between people who are on 415 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: the left and people are on the right. If on 416 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: the left you think whatever the state believes is best, 417 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: it has the stamp of the people, and therefore you 418 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: don't really count. No, there are some of us who 419 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: still think that a government that's able to put a 420 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: shot in your arm effectively. And by the way, why 421 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't they go to the lengths of saying we're going 422 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: to arrest you. We're going to do what Australia does. 423 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: If the rhetoric of these people, that you're reckless and 424 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: you're putting people in danger is to be believed. They should, 425 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: by their own admission, be willing to do even more 426 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: extreme things than they've done so far, and they've been 427 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: getting more extreme with time. Here's Governor Ron De Santis, though, 428 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: who is standing athwart these mandates in Florida, speaking the 429 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: truth about it. So I think the coercion is just 430 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: totally wrong. I think it's destroying trust in public health 431 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: to the extent that there was still trust left over 432 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: after all the stuff that's been done. But I think 433 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: it's really really negative, and I think you're going to 434 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: end up driving people away. Yeah, that's what's happening. He's right. 435 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the data reflects what he's saying. Also, the 436 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: data reflects that they still don't talk about how the 437 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: it's not just red state, you know, rural Trump voting 438 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: America that has questions about the vaccine. They're still a 439 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: very large percentage, relatively speaking, of African Americans across the 440 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: country who have not gotten the shot, and the media 441 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: just always says, oh, well, they're allowed odors, it's red 442 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: state idiots, it's ignorant rednecks, anti VAXX. That's that's that. 443 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: That's the narrative again, narrative over facts. But they're allowed 444 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: to be skeptical of government authority and power according to 445 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: the media, whereas other people are not, which I think 446 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: is so interesting. And they always will say, oh, because 447 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: of the Tuskegee experiment, this is You'll see this in 448 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: the New York Times, You'll see this in other places. 449 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 1: How many of the individuals, the the the young, particularly 450 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: young block men, who have decided not to get the shot, 451 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: really cite the Tuskegee experiment as the basis for it. No, 452 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: it's a great point. And by the way, I just 453 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: want to keep hammering this too. Without COVID vaccine mandates, 454 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: without any requirement that there be masking, Florida is almost 455 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: the lowest COVID incident state in the entire country right now, 456 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: You're not hearing that. Every time the cases would tick 457 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: up everywhere, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, they 458 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: all covered it with great glee as the numbers rose 459 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: in an attempt to attack Rondo Santis. Now as the 460 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: numbers have plummeted to the extent where Florida is nearly 461 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: the lowest in the entire nation. Almost nobody at all, 462 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: Buck is talking about it. Speaking of which, Tunnel the 463 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Towers Foundation, it looks out after those that have put 464 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: their lives on the line as either first responders or 465 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: our troops fighting the war on terrorism, Those individuals in 466 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: their families primary responsibility of the team at Tunnel the 467 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: Towers Foundation.

In another case, a family that's lost 474 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: their father and husband on the battlefield who now have 475 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: a mortgage free home and the peace of mind that 476 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: comes with it.

Buck. I'm out here in LA and I 496 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: had a pretty awesome experience last night the twenty fifth 497 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: anniversary of Fox News. For those out there who are aware, 498 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: they've been celebrating it on Fox News, and they had 499 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: a dinner in La and I got to sit next 500 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: to Rupert Murdoch. I'd never met Rupert Murdoch before. He 501 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: was there celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary of Fox News. Obviously, 502 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch and his family. They own the New York Post, 503 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: they own the Wall Street Journal. They now own out Kiss, 504 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: the business that I founded. So I got to meet 505 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: Rupert and sit next to him and have an interesting 506 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: conversation with him yesterday evening. And one of the things 507 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: I brought up with him, Buck was he was interested 508 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: in the Texas A and m Alabama game and the 509 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: student chants and everything else. And I shared with him 510 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: the rise of the concept of Let's Go Brandon, and 511 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: he loved it. He thought it was so funny. This 512 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: idea of f Joe Biden has been spreading like wildfire, 513 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: and now the new adjustment that is not not as 514 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: a negative in the context of curse words, has become 515 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: Let's go Brandon. And this was at a NASCAR event. 516 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: These are kids getting set to announce the start of 517 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: this NASCAR event, and I just thought this was absolutely fantastic. Buck, 518 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: Let's play cut seventeen. This happened yesterday. They're gonna help 519 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: kick this thing off, all right, guys ready in three 520 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: two one, rather start your agent, let's go branded. And 521 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: I mentioned this yesterday Buck, that Jesse Kelly was walking 522 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: around and the Let's go Brandon T shirt and that 523 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: the Tech Stay and M students overwhelmingly loved it, and 524 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: Rupert Murdoch loved it. And I don't know how much 525 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: bigger this meme is gonna get, but I honestly think 526 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: it's going to continue to grow into twenty twenty two 527 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: because what it does is puncture the idea of the 528 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: news media in many ways, sharing real facts. And for 529 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: those of you who don't know where this all started, 530 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: this Let's Go Brandon sort of meme that's taken over 531 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: the internet, it was during an interview in NASCAR. The 532 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: crowd is chanting f Joe Biden, and the host there says, oh, 533 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: there's chanting Let's go Brandon, and it's taken off like 534 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: Wildfire Buck and it's become really pretty funny. I gotta 535 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: be honest, I almost Brandon T shirts all over the place. 536 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: I'm seeing them pop it up. I know Jesse Kelly 537 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: was wearing one. Bid administration has lost so many independents 538 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: at this point, and people are seeing the incompetence in 539 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: a way that worries those whose job it is to 540 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: trying to convince people that Biden's actually competent and knows 541 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: what's going on and is running the country well, I 542 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: mean that the numbers you're seeing right now, what five percent? 543 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: I think they had the biggest increase for social security, 544 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: cost of living in decades. It's been a long time, 545 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: because inflation is going up. I mean the things that 546 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: what's amazing when the Biden administration at this point, I 547 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: think this is why there's such a catharsis. There's such 548 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: a feeling of release when you could say, let's go Brandon. 549 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: Is that all the things that we were warning we're 550 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: going to happen, all the things that we said, don't 551 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: do this Biden administration or else, the following will occur, 552 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: whether it's the undermining by the Democrat Party. I know 553 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: it's started under Trump at the BLM movement, which is 554 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: a Democrat movement, and then continued on now under the 555 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: Biden administration. Undermining of police, spending too much money, inflation, 556 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: rising American sovereignty, under constant assault at the US Mexico border, 557 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: all of these things. And sure enough, what's the response 558 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: they even have on COVID, I mean, the area of 559 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: alleged greatest competency for Biden. So yeah, I get why 560 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: people are running around yelling let's go brand and I 561 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: understand where this frustration comes from. And not only that 562 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: we're dealing and I think you mentioned it, and we 563 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: should continue to hammer this. Biden is claiming that everybody's 564 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: going to get a tax cut out there, right, That's 565 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: what he's trying to sell with this big reconciliation bill 566 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: that they are attempting to force through. The problem is 567 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: consumer prices are increasing so quickly that that is a 568 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: default tax of nearly two hundred dollars a month on 569 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: the average American family. So you're talking about thousands of 570 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: dollars in increased costs, particularly for meat and eggs. We 571 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: know gasoline is at a seven year price high as 572 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: you're driving around trying to fill up your car. And 573 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: they've been trying to argue buck, Oh, this inflation is transatory. 574 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: It's just a function of the economy getting back up 575 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: and running post COVID. What they are not acknowledging is 576 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: they created this inflationary environment by artificially constraining all of 577 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: our economy and now and and this idea that we 578 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: were never going to have shortages again, I think by 579 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: Christmas and certainly by Thanksgiving, and a lot of you 580 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: see it already when you go to your grocery stores. 581 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: They're empty shelves, something that we had not seen in 582 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: decades in the United They're absolutely going to be shortages 583 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: in the Biden administration is already trying to prepare the 584 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: spin and the talking points for what people are getting 585 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: ready for me. And they're calling it Biden's Holiday nightmare 586 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: over the Tilly Mill, the saying the supply chain will 587 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: not be fixed by Christmas. They're urging parents to get 588 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: gifts to buy toys now, which I would note that 589 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: just means you're accelerating the supply chair issue. That's what 590 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: we're doing, saying. Yeah, they're saying, come on, go out 591 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: there and grab the stuff that's all on the shelves 592 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: while he can. Well, that's what that's gonna mean. That 593 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: people are gonna go now, and while there's these snarls 594 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,959 Speaker 1: happening where you have ships that are waiting weeks to 595 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: offload their cargo. And this is this is a number 596 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: of factors, but certainly Bid administration economic policy and COVID 597 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: policy is directly directly relating to and in many ways 598 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: responsible for this. So what are people, you know, you 599 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: look at this where we are right now versus where 600 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: we were a year ago, Clay, and you think to yourself, 601 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, obviously we were about to go into the election, 602 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: the decision the American people were facing. But they promised 603 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: us a united and you remember it right in last October, 604 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: Biden was saying a united country with you know, shared 605 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: prosperity and COVID. What was the line of crushed COVID, 606 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: not the economy. It turned out he was close, except 607 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: more crushed the economy, not COVID. Right, That's what we've 608 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: actually seen. And it's a shame because I wish I 609 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: could sit here and say that we had other political 610 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: fights to have, we didn't have to talk about COVID 611 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: at all. But they misled people at so many stages 612 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: of this about how effective their plans would be. Remember 613 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: one hundred days of masking. It was going to solve everything, Buck, 614 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: That's what Joe Biden told us. If we would just 615 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: wear masks for one hundred days, COVID would be over. 616 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: If we would just get fifty percent of people vaccinated, 617 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: COVID would be over. If you would just get vaccinated yourself, 618 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: you would never have to wear a mask again all 619 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: of those have been proven to be lies and Joe Biden, 620 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: and I think we need to keep emphasizing this. More 621 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: people have died now in the Joe Biden twenty twenty 622 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: one regime than died when Trump was in charge, when 623 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: everybody out there in the Biden administration was saying that 624 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: the number one reason why you needed Joe Biden in 625 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: the White House was because he would solve COVID. And 626 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,240 Speaker 1: that's despite the fact that they now have a vaccine 627 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: that we had already had a lot of people who 628 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: had gotten sick and dealt with COVID. They still have 629 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: done a worse job. We come back Buck. There's a 630 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: story that I think is emblematic of how much cosmetic 631 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: theater is going on New York City, La San Francisco 632 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: and their vaccine mandates. It's impacting Kyrie Irving, who is 633 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: one of the stars of the NBA. They aren't going 634 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: to allow him to play basketball because he's refusing to 635 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: get the COVID vaccine. What's going on and how much 636 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: trouble does this create when the storylines change from anti 637 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: vax Trump supporting red state losers to others living in 638 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: metropolitan cities and they're refusing the COVID vaccine. I think 639 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating discussion you're listening to, Clay Travis, said 640 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the EIB Network
