I hope all of you 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: are having a fantastic Friday wherever you may be across 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: this great country or this great land. I am Clay 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: Travis and we are rolling the Clay Travis and Buck 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show bucks back in New York City. I am 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: here in Nashville getting ready to head down to Tuscaloosa 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: in short order for the LSU Alabama game. You can 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: come hang out with us at the tailgate that we'll 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: be having as well as part of being noon kickoff 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: at the same place we were before and it's free 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: pub down in Tuscaloosa. Getting ready for that. But big 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: story as we begin today show is the Democrat response 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: to the ass kicking that they got on Tuesday's election. 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: We asked the question what would Democrats do, and we 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: still don't know one hundred percent the answer, but it 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: seems to be a case that they have decided to 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: go in the direction of even more left wing insanity, 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: as Nancy Pelosi as we speak, is trying to corral 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: the House Democrats to pass not one, but two multi 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: trillion dollar bills. The first would be the Biden budget. 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: Now we'll unpack why that isn't necessarily very definitive right 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: now because the Senate has not passed that. But the 24 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: other is the infrastructure bill, which has been sitting in 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: the House since August. There are many different angles here. 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: The New York Times this morning, Buck had an editorial. 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it when I was reading it this morning, 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: ridiculing Democrats for being two left wing. It's one of 29 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: the most crazy things I've read on the New York 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Times editorial page in terms of a surprise in years, 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: because the New York Times editorial page has consistently been 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: the cheerleader for the most far left wing agenda imaginable, 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: the headline opposition to the Trump administration more so than 34 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: any part of the media, and now, in the wake 35 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: of Tuesday's results, they are telling Democrats that they need 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: to be more moderate, that they need to pause, that 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: they need to not try to do as much, which, honestly, Buck, 38 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: it sounded a little bit like our show. I know now. 39 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: I was like, are you kidding? Did you read that? Where? Yeah? Yeah, 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: as much as I was, I saw the offense, I 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: love it because Clay First of all, you know we 42 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: say these things. We come on this show after day 43 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: like that, we're telling folks this. But you know, we 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: come from a conservative perspective, right, and a lot of 45 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: our audience, not all, but a lot of our audience 46 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: obviously going to share that. But here's the New York 47 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Times in a sense, the ideological opposition, you know, won't 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: quite say enemy, but the ideological opponents we have across 49 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the chessboard saying, Yeah, what Clay and Buck have been 50 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: telling you guys is true Democrats. What those guys are 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: saying about, what a massive slap in the face. This 52 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: is for progressive Democrats who believe that they can go 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: super woke and not go broke. That's the problem here. 54 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: You have to address this or you're going in for 55 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: a midterm that will essentially neuter the Biden administration agenda. 56 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: I mean, there will be nothing they can do if 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: they lose control of even one of the House, or 58 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: of the Set or the Senate. And so that's why 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: Clay I almost I feel like maybe we should try 60 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: to start some kind of mission in the other direction 61 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: here we try to tell everybody, no, no Progressives, you're right, 62 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: double down on your leftism get even crazier. Listen to AOC. 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: She will take you on the path to victory. Say 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: really vicious, stupid things about how racist all the parents 65 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: were in Virginia who didn't like what was going on 66 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: in their school system. I'm thinking that reverse psychology Clay 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: might have to come into effect here because this New 68 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: York Times piece they said political nightmare for the Democrat Party. 69 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: No Democrat who cares about winning in twenty twenty two 70 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: can see them as anything less, I mean, almost more 71 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: hardcore than we were after this. That's how scared they are. 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: It blew my mind. And then also you have the 73 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: blue checks even coming around. Did you see the Washington Post. 74 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: Jonathan Swann, who is dead Axios tweeted out the Washington 75 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Post article about the arrest in the Durham probe, and 76 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: he said the charges are that not only did Clinton 77 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: and Democrats fund the Steele dossier, but a long time 78 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: Clinton Democratic operative was one of the sources for the 79 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: rumors about Trump. Doesn't get much worse. Direct link to 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Yeah, We've been saying this for years, 81 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: but it's like suddenly people have had the blinds taken 82 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: off their eyes. I mean that I'm not gonna lie. 83 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: When I read that New York Times editorial, and then 84 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: when I saw the Washington Post covering this Durham arrest, legitimately, 85 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: I wondered to some extent, I mean, we asked what 86 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: the impact was going to be from the Virginia election 87 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: on Democrats. I'm curious, Buck, should we have asked what 88 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the election results were going to be on the media, 89 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Because did the election results show the media more how 90 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: out of touch their coverage was than it did Democrats? 91 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: Is that a crazy question? The one I think. Here's 92 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: the problem with the media. They never learned. They never 93 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: learned they're actually more ideologically committed than most of their readership. 94 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: At the New York Times, the Washington Post, the people 95 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: who work behind the scenes producers at CNN and MSNBC, 96 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: I actually know some of these people. I even know 97 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: a couple of secret conservatives at those places, by the way, 98 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: which is why I have such such good sourcing on 99 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: what's going on in some of these institutions, Clay, But 100 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: the Libs that work at these places are even more 101 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: committed to the cause than many of their audience members. 102 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: So they'll always find a way to justify their behavior 103 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: on the election result, on what it means going forward 104 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: for them. I think the what the media is going 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: to have to do now in their minds. In their minds, 106 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: what I would like them to do is to stop 107 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: being such horrific liars who have no integrity. What they're 108 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: going to do is find means of attack while also 109 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: now pretending that there has been moderation within the Democrat 110 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: Party in places and in ways that they think are 111 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: helpful for the electoral prospects going to the mid terms. 112 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: So they'll be like, oh, yeah, you know, we've seen 113 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the triangulation of moderation. Even if it doesn't happen, they're 114 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: going to try to create a perception among enough people, 115 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: among whatever independence they can reach that that has occurred, 116 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: because then it puts Democrats in a better place to 117 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: win election. Essentially lying looking thinking up with Joe Biden. 118 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: This is a perfect example. Joe Biden, we all said 119 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: was a trojan horse candidate. He said he wasn't going 120 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: to be a moderate, he wasn't going to govern as 121 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: a moderate. That was all a fraud. But the meeting goes, oh, 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: it's Joe riding the chew chew the amtrack, you know, 123 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: carrying his lunch pail from scrant You can trust good 124 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: old Joe. The whole thing was a fraud, but it 125 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: worked well enough that this guy as the president put 126 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: aside all the rules they broke and changed and cheated 127 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: on to get him there. The point is, that's what 128 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to find now. So because Clay, 129 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: they're activists, they're not journalists. The moment you take that 130 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: perspective with most of the corporate media, I think all 131 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: their next moves becomes very clear. Don't think of them 132 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: as journalists, think of them as activists. What would an 133 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: activist do now, given the results in Virginia to help 134 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: their team win, That's what they'll do. It is intriguing 135 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: to see the Washington You mentioned the Washington Post. We 136 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: talked about the New York Times, we both did. But 137 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: the New York Times, to your point on the slant 138 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: in coverage, they're almost entirely now a subscription based service. 139 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: And that's important because they used to be an advertiser 140 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: based service from a media perspective, and so now they're 141 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: in the business almost exclusively, even though they try to 142 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: pretend otherwise. Of irving up red meat to the true believers. Right, 143 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: they are in the business of giving people who hated 144 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and wanted there to be an opposition party. 145 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: Same thing at the Washington Post, they'd moved from an 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: advertising based business to a subscription based business. And that 147 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: is more of a niche than it is an overwhelming 148 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: audience business. And that is also why you brought up 149 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: and rightly we should. There should be a lot more 150 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: focus on this, the Russia collusion story, and I appreciate 151 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: that you bring that into the top of our discussion 152 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: here today, Clay, because that was an enormous lie. It 153 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: used to try to overthrow effectively from the inside of government. 154 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: It was a soft coup, a coup without force, you know, 155 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: a coup without weapons, but using the Department of Justice 156 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: based on lies to do an investigation to try to 157 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: get Remember, they were talking about prosecuting the president's children, 158 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: they were talking about throwing members of the first family 159 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: in prison, and they were gleeful about it at the time. 160 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: All of it lies, The entire Russia dossier lies. But 161 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: this is the point about the media to what you're 162 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: saying with the silos and in a sense, the polarization, 163 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: the ossification here, right, people just get hardened into what 164 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: it is that they think. The people that subscribe The 165 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: Washington Post in New York Times, they will lose no 166 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: subscribers over the revelation that the entire Russia crusion hoax 167 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: that those papers pushed for years, because they're not reading 168 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: those papers thinking that everything they say is true. They 169 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: were reading those papers. Democracy dies in darkness because they 170 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: were anti Trump organs. So they served the purpose, even 171 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: though the purpose was built on lies. That's how they 172 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: view it. That's the reason they're not going to lose subscribers. Well, 173 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: I think one of the challenges they're going to have 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: is expanding their base, certainly, But in the wake of 175 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, see they could use and this is 176 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: what I've always said, Trump was not the cause of 177 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: the Trump election. Trump was a symptom of the Trump election. 178 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: And this is where people get lost. They wanted to 179 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: make Donald Trump into his credit. He fall back against it, 180 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: but they tried to make Donald Trump seemed like such 181 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: a disruptive emperor, authoritarian dictator that he was the one 182 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: person they had to take down. Right in the wake 183 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, I think they have a harder 184 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: time explaining why a truck driver from New Jersey is 185 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: able to beat the Democratic Senate majority leader. Why a 186 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: random guy that nobody covered in the media almost beat 187 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: the sitting governor of New Jersey, And why Junken and 188 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: winsome Seers and the attorney general, why everybody swept there. 189 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Why in Seattle we ended up with a Republican winning 190 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen eighty nine. Why defund 191 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: the police went down in flames. I think it's harder 192 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: to attach that to Donald Trump. And what you're seeing 193 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump was the leader of a movement against 194 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: the corporate press, against the elites in this country. But 195 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the movement is bigger than Trump, and that scares them. 196 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party got used to and all of the above, 197 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: all all hands on deck anti Trump approach for four years, 198 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: and that that was everything right. And they even would 199 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: say as journalists, we can't even be objective because objective 200 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: means anti Trump. I'm not exaggerating that actually said exactly, 201 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: because Trump is so full of lies. Objective means you 202 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: must be anti Trump as a journalist. So they created 203 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: this whole Now, when you're in the opposition in a 204 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: sense that unfortunately there was some effect. Now. Trump was 205 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: a great counterpuncher and did very well against the whole 206 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: machine leveled against him for four years. But now, Clay, 207 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: we got Democrats in charge, and so I think at 208 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: some level too, this election in Virginia showed you there's 209 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: a laziness with the Democrat party. They think that the 210 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: same playbook is going to work. It was, it was obvious, 211 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: it was desperate in a sense. That's why they kept 212 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: bringing up Trump in a state election for a candidate 213 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: who has nothing to do with Trump one way or 214 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: the other. Right, I mean, he's running his own campaign, 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: running on issues people care about. So I think that's 216 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: a part of it too. Their attack attack attack approach 217 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: isn't the same when gas prices are high and Biden 218 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: looks like a buffoon and they're in charge. People see 219 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: this now. So the smart the smart observers I believe 220 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: in the Democrats side recognize there better be a change 221 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: of course here or else they're in for a very 222 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: very rough time.

Thanks everybody are for being 249 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: so kind to me. It plays out in Nashville, Tennessee. 250 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: You may recall there was a story earlier the week 251 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: about the Biden I think it was on Monday at Broke. 252 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: The Biden administration was allegedly or apparently going to be paying, 253 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: via the Department of Justice, some kind of settlement the 254 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: families of migrants separated under the Trump administration. Families separated 255 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: from each other, not permanently, but separated for a period 256 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: of time. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a person, 257 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: up to a million dollars a family. And this was outrageous, 258 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: more money than people get for the family as family 259 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: members of a service member killed in action, right someone 260 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: serving our country overseas dies. We're gonna pay the family 261 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: of illegals who are separated for a while more. The 262 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: federal government's going to do that with your tax dollars. 263 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: It seems so outrage just because it was and it 264 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: looked really bad for this Biden administration that cannot control, 265 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: does not want to control, the border has a de 266 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: facto open border. All you have to do is know 267 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: a couple of tricks to get around the system, and 268 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: it's open as can be. And so what would Biden say, 269 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: It's not true. It's not true. Well, hold on a second. 270 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: What's not true is Biden saying that it is not true? 271 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: White House Deputy spokesperson Karine Jean Pierre, if it saves 272 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars and puts the disastrous history of the previous 273 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: administration's use of zero tolerance and family separation behind us, 274 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: the President is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice 275 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: settling with the individuals and families who are currently in 276 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: litigation with the US government. The President was what he 277 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: was reacting to was the dollar figure that was mentioned 278 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: that you mentioned to him yesterday. I changed then from yesterday. 279 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: You're saying that he would be perfectly comfortable settling with 280 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: these families who broke the law to come here, But 281 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: yesterday he said that's not going to happen. Let's remember 282 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: how we got here where we're dealing with families being separated. 283 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: This is coming from the last administration cruel in human, 284 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: immoral policies. We're not asking for a lecture, Clay. We're 285 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: not asking her to tell us something. We're not asking 286 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: they're basically telling us Biden didn't know. Which I know 287 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: is that I think that's probably true. But that's also 288 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: not okay. It's embarrassing, is what it is for first 289 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: of all, this to ever get to the point where 290 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: there could be a contemplation of paying four hundred and 291 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to illegal immigrants, effectively rewarding them for 292 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: coming and breaking our law. Four hundred and fifty thousand 293 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: dollars is what a teacher might earn in many jurisdictions 294 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: for working nine or ten years in a row. That's 295 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: not even taking some of the taxes out that they 296 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: might owe. I mean, this is this is mind blowing 297 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: insanity from the Biden administration. And the only thing that 298 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: could make it worse buck is for the president to 299 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: deny it was ever going to happen, and then have 300 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: his administration come back and say, oh, by the way, 301 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: this is probably gonna happen. It just might be for 302 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: a little bit less than four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Well, 303 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: what is the president's role? I mean, because I think 304 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: this is where, instinctively, to the extent that his brain 305 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: still works, Joe Biden sees that and says that's not right. 306 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: As you said, people who are killed defending our country 307 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: as soldiers should not be getting lower payouts than people 308 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: who will llegally come to this country. And so I 309 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: think even in Biden's befuddled, befogged brain, that registers as 310 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: something that is wrong. The problem is Buck, I really 311 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: don't know that they're even letting Joe Biden make decisions 312 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: in the White House. This is scared. We talked about 313 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment with Trump. We never had a 314 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: situation like this that I can remember. With Trump, situations 315 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: like this where Biden can barely answer questions. Yeah, they 316 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: just got mad at Trump because they thought he was mean. 317 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: Biden actually seems gitimately confused, doesn't have any idea what's 318 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: going on. How many times have you thought about trying 319 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: to refile your home and just not done it.

Thanks for joining us. 349 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: Explain what you're working on in the success you've already had. 350 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: So I back in May I started a superpack and 351 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: the first federal superpack for school board election. And I 352 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: know big dollar donors and billionaire help me with it. 353 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: It's just something I kind of created on my own. 354 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: I did some media for it, I mean preceived about 355 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand people donated, you know, small dollar donations, and 356 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: with that I was able to help campaign on behalf 357 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: of fifty state candidates in twenty nine school districts and 358 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: so far, as of right now, we have a seventy 359 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: five percent win rate. That's incredible. Ryan, I just spoke 360 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: last night. I good to talk to you, my friend. 361 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: I just spoke last night to a big group out 362 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin and all I mean to say that the 363 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: folks were fired up about what they feel is a 364 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: grassroots parents uprising against the apparatus of the of the 365 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: school system, the Democrat leftist domination and doctrination. I mean 366 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: it's an understatement to say they're fired up about it. 367 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: How do we see this now spread? I mean the 368 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: big thing for us on the right is how does 369 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: Virginia become the template for winning in other places? Because 370 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: the CRT training, critical race theory training in Virginia, it's 371 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: it's not unique. In fact, there's more of it in 372 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: other places too. So what have you seen? How do 373 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: we make this a movement and not a one off? 374 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: So I think that what people don't understand is that 375 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: critical race theory is being practice, not necessarily taught, a 376 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: practice in the way that they do the teaching in 377 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: all fifty states. Hannah Jones, the author of the sixteen 378 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: nineteen project, often boast that it's being her eat her 379 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: exact program, the sixty nineteen project is being taught in 380 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: all fifty states and hundreds of classrooms. And that's that's 381 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: a program that says that the American Revolution happened because 382 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: the British wanted to abolish slavery and the American Colonial Senate. 383 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: It's a total fabrication that never ever happened. Historians are debunked. Nonetheless, 384 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: it's being taught in schools. I think that I think 385 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to be done, that could 386 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: be done. You've seen a lot of governors across the 387 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: country signed bills or executive orders banning CRT. The problem 388 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: with that is that they do not have any repercussions 389 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: if the teachers can continue to do those programs. So 390 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: there's a law that necessarily says you can't teach CRT, 391 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: but if you do, there's no punishment. I think what 392 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: has to happen is the school board levels. It's where 393 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: this fight is why I decided to create this pack. 394 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: I think the curriculum must be altered. And for decades 395 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: you've had Republicans that they're in fight over colleges and 396 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: universities being too far left, or over school choice is 397 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: another big Republican talking point. But they kind of let 398 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: curriculum slaw and they let curriculum be controlled by the Democrats. 399 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: And I think that's why that's how magnifying curriculum, I 400 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: think is the way to do it. And if you 401 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: go to the pack website seventeen seventy six Project packpac 402 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: dot com, you can send me if your school district 403 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: is promoting and practicing critical race theory, you can send 404 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: me examples of it. I think that I think the 405 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: problem is a lot of kids don't a lot of 406 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: people don't exactly they can't identify exactly what critical race 407 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: theory is, but they kind of know when they see it, 408 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: and they just needed more and more examples of it. 409 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: And we need to know which school districts are problematic, 410 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: because it's not every school districts is problematic, but many 411 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: of them are. When you see this issue motivate, I 412 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: think to such a degree many people who came out 413 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: to vote in twenty twenty one. Do you foresee it 414 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: as also being a major issue in the twenty twenty 415 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 1: two elections. Is this energy in your mind only going 416 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: to grow surrounding what kids are being taught in school 417 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: and parental involvement in those lesson plans? Yeah, Because here's 418 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: the thing is why Democrats are losing on this issue 419 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: is because they're putting down parents who are concerned, rather 420 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: than sitting there and addressing it, or fighting over the 421 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: merits of why they think it should be taught. They're saying, no, 422 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: you idiot, this is not even being taught. You're being 423 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: lied to. And their kids are coming home or their 424 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: grandchildren are coming home and saying, you know, my teacher's 425 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: making me feel bad about being born white. That's not 426 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: something that they that That is that's hardest parents up 427 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: when they're when they are openly criticized, and then when 428 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: the Justice Department calls them domestic terrorists. Democrats response this 429 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: has been so abysmal on every single issue. And it's 430 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: not that Republicans have been such a great job on 431 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: champion this issue or thinking of an alternative to fighting 432 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: against it. But what Democrats have done is, I mean, 433 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: they've just sat there and they've mocked parents. They told 434 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: them that their opinions are wrong. And it's not just 435 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: what people understand is the critical race theory. It's not 436 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: just history. It's such as the teaching of history and 437 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: in doctrining kids in the sixteen nineteen project or making 438 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: them do privileged walks, which is where white children have 439 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: to show how privilege they are by walking in front 440 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: of the the rest of the room or in the case 441 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia, where kids were being literally separating classrooms 442 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: by their race. You have programs in like Los Angeles 443 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: County where school districts are received less funding if they 444 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: have a majority of their population being white. In New 445 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: York City, my hometown, you've seen the mayor on his 446 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: closing in his last few months in office guts gifted 447 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: and talented programs because there's not enough racial diversity in them. 448 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: You're going to see them go out, and you've already 449 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: seen them go after the hard sciences, math and science 450 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: because they're not diverse enough. It's going it's a quote 451 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: unquote equitable enough. And I think that this charges people 452 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: of normal, rational people who are not drinking the kool 453 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: aid on woke Progressivism sits there in recoil from this, 454 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: including many Democrats, and I think that's why you've seen 455 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: so many or sorry not Democrats, but less leaning independence 456 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: and that's why so many of them sat there either 457 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: to go and vote or to vote Republicans. Some for 458 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: the first time ever. We're speaking of Ryan Grudusky. He 459 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: is the founder of the seventeen seventy six Project Pack. Ryan, 460 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: is there you think an opening here as well, I 461 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: spoke last night to someone you may know as well, 462 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: of the vek Ramaswami who wrote Woke Inc. And we 463 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: were talking about how this parents uprising against critical race 464 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: theory in schools and as you rightly point out, a 465 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: lot of snide sneering from the Democrat apparatus did not 466 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: work out well for them in this last election. But 467 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: there's also the wokeness and really a form of CRT 468 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: that's being taught in or really enforced in corporate America too. 469 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: Do you think that there's a place to have people 470 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: actually start to make gains looking at you know, I 471 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this Microsoft off the play 472 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: for everybody. You know, they start off a Microsoft meeting 473 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: now saying we know we're on Indigenous land and we're 474 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: basically are apologizing for that. I mean, this is at Microsoft, 475 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: you know. I think that the same way that people 476 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: have seen the schools have lost their minds when it 477 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: comes to kids, corporate America in large part, I mean 478 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: Clay talks about in the sports world a lot, it's broader, 479 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: it's all over the place now in corporate America too. 480 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: Is there a pushback we can get going there that 481 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: will have political effect. Well, yeah, this is where Republicans 482 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: are just missing the ball completely because too many of 483 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: them are still adopting libertarian talking points on business and 484 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: letting business do whatever it wants to do. What President 485 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Trump did so successfully in his last year office was 486 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: he's fat there and he denies federal contracts the companies 487 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: that practice critical race theory. And you saw immediately speaking 488 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: speakers who promote critical race theory being dropped, their contracts 489 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: being dropped from Corporate America because they wanted federal contracts. 490 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: All it would take is a Republican governor, especially in 491 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: big states, in states like now Virginia or Florida or Texas, 492 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: sitting there and telling state or Ohio telling states selling businesses, 493 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: we will not have any federal We will not have 494 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: any government contracts with you. If you promote CRT, if 495 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: you bring CRT speakers to your thing, if you use 496 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: you know, race based hiring practices or race based you 497 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: know whatever, we are not going to give you a 498 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: state contract. Those state contracts are worth millions, if not 499 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: billions of dollars that always go up. It's I mean, 500 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: it's the easiest money you could possibly get if you 501 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: can get a state contract. Every corporation desires them, and 502 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: to deny them would would hit them where it really hurts. 503 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: So I think that is where politically they should move 504 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: if they can, just Republicans can just open our eyes 505 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: to big businesses not your friend, which the Republican voters 506 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: have well worn up soon you know we'll welcome up 507 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: to but Republican politicians are still lacking behind on that issue.

Welcome back to the the clan Buck Show. 538 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: We have more exciting guests to get to you later 539 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: on the show, including our friend Alex Barrinson about what 540 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: the data is telling us where we're heading this winter 541 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to COVID, the latest on that Fizer 542 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: pill talked to him about all of that. Of course, 543 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates, vaccine mandates for kids. That'll be all coming 544 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: up in the third hour of the program. And Peter Navarro, 545 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: you may remember him, he was really the chief architect 546 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: of Trump and Trump's China trade policy. He's got a 547 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: new book out. He wants coming and talk to us 548 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: about the economy, what he's seeing trade obviously, the problems 549 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: in supply chain and all of that. But we were 550 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: just talking about my friend Ryan Gerdusky of the seventeen 551 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: seventy six project pack Clay and I were talking to 552 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: him about and he backs candidates who are ANTCRT. So 553 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing there, about how this is going 554 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: to play out across the country. And if you're wondering 555 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: where else does this happen? Here this went viral yesterday 556 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: in Indiana school well administrator named Tony Kinnet wanted to 557 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: explain what he sees when people talk about CRT, what 558 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: does it actually look like? How does it manifest in school? 559 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: And here it is, I'm the science coach and admin 560 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: and the largest public school district in Indiana. I'm in 561 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: dozens of classrooms a week, so I see exactly what 562 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: we're teaching our students. When we tell you that schools 563 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: aren't teaching critical race theory, that it's nowhere in our standards, 564 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: that's misdirection. We don't have the quotes and theories as 565 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: state standards per se. We do have critical race theory 566 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: and how we teach. We tell our teachers to treat 567 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: students differently based on color. We tell our students that 568 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: every problem is a result of white men, and that 569 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: everything Western civilization built as racist capitalism as a tool 570 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: of white supremacy. Those are straight out of Kimberly Crenshaw's 571 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: main points verbatim in Critical Race Theory, the writings that 572 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: formed the movement. This is in math, history, science, English, 573 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: the arts. And it's not slowing down. If students of 574 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: color have lower reading scores, it's because of inequity. Therefore, 575 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: we take from the white students and give to the 576 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: color students. That's Richard Delgado, straight out of CRT and introduction. 577 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: All teaching is political with reality and facts taking the 578 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: back seat. That's doctor Gloria Ladson Billings who outlined how 579 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: she saw critical race theory flushed out in public schools 580 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety five. When schools tell you that we 581 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: aren't teaching critical race theory, it means one thing, go 582 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: away and look into our affairs. No further. Well that's 583 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: pretty well said. Yeah, and I think it's important. There's 584 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: an attempt to say, oh, critical race theory, they want 585 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: to take out teaching of history. That's not accurate, right, 586 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: nobody's pretending that slavery didn't exist. The difference is what 587 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: it means going forward. What critical race theory is trying 588 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: to instill in our children is that their identity defines 589 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: whether or not they can be successful, which is an 590 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: identity that they don't choose themselves, i e. Your race, 591 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: if you're black, White, Asian, Hispanic, and it's fundamentally not 592 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: true if you just look at the data. Buck and 593 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: I wish we talked more about data like this. So 594 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit us, hit our audience with it. Asian 595 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: men are the highest earning people in America today, the 596 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: highest earning per capita. If America were a fundamentally white 597 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: supremacist country, that would be a big failure, wouldn't it 598 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: that we would have allowed Asian men to be the 599 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: highest earning. The reason why Asian men are the highest 600 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: earning is because America is a meritocracy. Also, immigrant populations, 601 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: recent immigrant populations vastly out earned native born populations within 602 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: a generation or so. One of such that Nigerian immigrants, 603 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: for instance, overwhelmingly dominate people who are born black in America. 604 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: Why would it be that people who come to America 605 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: and are from Nigeria and are theoretically coming with the 606 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: same burden and that the color of their skin is 607 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: supposed to define them, that they arrive here and absolutely 608 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: dominate when they are here. It's not just Nigerian, it's 609 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: immigrants of all stripes and colors and persuasions. Legal immigrants 610 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: when they come to this country dominate. And those are 611 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: data that are important because I think it sends to 612 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: our kids the message which is true that you determine 613 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: your success or failure, not an identity that you cannot choose, 614 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: and that is lost in all of this critical race 615 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: theory madness. And I think it's also important to note 616 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: that CRT teaching harms the individual insofar as you're either 617 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: the oppressor or the system. When you've actually done nothing. 618 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: It truly destroys our basic notions of autonomy, culpability, or 619 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, what is moral agency. If you can be 620 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: held guilty for the you know, the sins of your 621 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: great grandparents, what exactly are you supposed to do about that? 622 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: But beyond that, it also prevents better policy from being 623 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: made because instead of actually looking at how you could 624 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,479 Speaker 1: address the differences in test scores, let's say between certain 625 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: communities in an area, what's really going on, it's always Oh, 626 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: the system is racist. Therefore there needs to be a 627 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: rebalancing of resources or even of outcome within the system. 628 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: That's what they end up doing. They say, well, some 629 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: groups should get certain test scores and get into a school, 630 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: and other groups can have other test scores and not 631 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: get into the school or get into the school. This 632 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: is where abramex Kennedy's tweet that got so much attention, 633 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 1: or he was pointing out, how you know, all these 634 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: white individuals were pretending to be Native American and getting 635 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: into school, right, so, how exactly is that white privilege? 636 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: That's actually the opposite of white privilege. And also buck 637 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: to that larger point, that's why so many Asian parents 638 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: in your home city of New York, set with the 639 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: Democrats so fired up about the idea that because their 640 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: kids are winning the meritocracy race, they are post the 641 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: highest scores, they are being discriminated against because they're Asian, 642 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: and there's so many people who are Asian of high one. 643 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 1: It is racismic. Deblasio basically says, too many Asians doing 644 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: well in school, so we're gonna balance this out and 645 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: deny them opportunities. That's racism actually, And you know what 646 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: we mentioned this before, Clay, I want to come back 647 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: and talk more about wokeness incorporations, what we're seeing, how 648 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: it affected the Virginia election. But also this people have 649 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: to hear this. Microsoft I had to check. I was like, 650 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: is this real? Are they really doing this? And the folks, 651 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: you gotta stick around for this. It will blow your mind, 652 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: no doubt. You're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton 653 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: fund the EIB Network
