1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: The White House will simply not accept the fact that

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the public hates this bill and they don't have some

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: massive FDR or LBJ majority to get it. They just

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: don't get that. Their tone depth, these are the worst

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: political people I've ever seen, cutting right to the heart

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: of it. There, welcome back to Clay and Buck show.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: It's just true, folks, and the bill is not a

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: good bill. People do not want the bill. This is

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: the kind of legislative spending package that if they had,

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: you know, sixty plus seats in the Senate, if they

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: had you know, a thirty forty seed majority in the House,

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if they were way, way way ahead,

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: you'd say, all right, you know this is it's not

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: even close. Razor thin fifty fifty in the Senate, razor

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: thin margin in the House, Joe Biden, you get, you know,

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: less than one is the less than one hundred thousand

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Americans have vote. And we can talk about the voting

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: procedures another time, and we will actually, especially as the

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: election comes up, the midterms, and how rules were changed

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: in violation of law to help the Democrats win the election.

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. But we'll discuss more down the line.

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: But the point is it was a small even with

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: all the games the Democrats played, it was a small

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: fraction of the American people that were the difference here

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: between a Biden presidency and not. And they're acting like

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: they have a mandate. They have the opposite of a mandate.

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: They have a come together and be reasonable date, and

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: they're doing the exact opposite. Was not surprising that Democrats

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: are absolutists. It's in their nature. They're leftists, they're collectivists.

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: But Kudlow's calling it all out. I gotta tell you,

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here and I am getting one text message

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: after another from people that I know personally saying, oh

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, either I either they have COVID themselves or

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: they just were at a party or a dinner with

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: somebody who you know has COVID. I mean, it is

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: ripping through all over the place. And I get that

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: text two of I have a sore throat or I

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: think I have a cold child, Go get a COVID test.

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: So why people asking me I don't I mean, I

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: always say sure, yeah, of course, right, I got a

41
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: better safe than sorry, But it doesn't remind me I

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: was going to tell you all a little story here,

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: because some of you may recall this listening to the show.

44
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: The first time I ever was on the EIB was

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: about seven years ago. I think it was. Now I

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: had the honor of being a guest host for Rush,

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: and at that it's just there is no greater honor

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: as a radio host, right, this is it couldn't be

49
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: anything bigger, cooler, more important in your radio career. So

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: I was to say I was super excited about it

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: as an understate understatement, and I still remember, I may

52
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: rest in peace a great man. Kit Carson calling me

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Russia's chief of staff. I actually thought it was someone

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: playing a joke on me. I've never had that in

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: my life where I thought somebody was messing with me.

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: I actually thought it was someone pretending to be Kit

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Carson saying, you know, you know, hey, Buck, would you

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: like to fill in? I was like, whoa wait what?

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: So of course I said yes. I tried to be

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: I tried to be cool too about it. I was like, yes,

61
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: I think that, and you know, I was doing mental backflips.

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: But we get a couple of days out, and this

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: is why I'm thinking about this scratchy throats and feeling

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: a little off. We get a couple of days out

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: from the first ever filling I'm gonna do for Russia's

66
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: EIB here and I had a little bit of a

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: cult and I knew a little but I figured I'll

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: be okay. You know, maybe I'm three or four days out.

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: It'll mostly be passed by then. And I thought to myself,

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know what caffeine and tailing all

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: concoction I have. I'm gonna do a great show. I'm

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: gonna get through it. We get forty eight hours out,

73
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you this, this this is the truth. I

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: have never had total laryngitis before in my life. I

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: don't mean my voice. You guys heard me do the

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: show recently, and I mean I you know, I had

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: to get COVID tested. I had a cold. I felt

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: like crap. My voice was all messed up. So I've

79
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: done radio sick as sick can be many I did

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: radio when I had COVID because I was doing it

81
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: from home. So I've done radio sick many times. But

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: when you have actually no voice, when all that's cobbing out,

83
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: is this No matter how much you push or try

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: that's about the worst nightmare somebody who's about to fill

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: in on the biggest radio show in the country for

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: the first time ever can possibly have. Because we all know,

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: all right, you can imagine you're me, you're young buck,

88
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: and you get this opportunity. And this was when I

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: was working at The Blaze for Glenn Beck, and I'm

90
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Oh, this is this is amazing, right,

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: this is a game changer. I'm two days out from it.

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: What am I gonna say? Oh, I can't fill in.

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: I have laryngitis. Yeah, that would that's gonna go over

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: really well. I would say, oh, wow, cold, Because I'll

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: tell you this. You know, there are I have my

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: flaws like everybody else, and I have my flaws in

97
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: this business. Fear is not one of them, right, Being

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: nervous it's not one of them, never has been, never

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: will be. So I mean, I'll I'm the guy. I

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: want the ball. I'll take the shot. I mean hopefully

101
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: I make it, but I always want the ball, right,

102
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: And that's an important thing I think in life. Winners

103
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: want the ball and you gotta take your shots. So

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, what the heck am I

105
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna do. So you imagine you're me right, You're going

106
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: into You're going into what should be the sort of

107
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: radio debut on the biggest platform. You have no voice,

108
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: you cannot speak, And I don't want to tell everybody

109
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: this really because I don't want them to cancel on me.

110
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: And my mom, God bless her. I mean amazing. My

111
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: mom is a supermom. I mean truly, she should have

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: a cape. She's a supermom because that's when when there's

113
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: like no hope and no one can fix anything. You

114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: know who, I'm sure you'll have people like this in

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: your life. Who. Mom is like the command center of

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: the Sexton family. So I call the command center on

117
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, she can hear I can't talk like I cannot.

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I cannot allow this opportunity, is what do we do?

119
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: And she got into the research and all this stuff

120
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: we found in New York the morning of the filling

121
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: because I was like, I'm just gonna show up and

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: throw myself on the mercy of the EIB audience because

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: I'll hear that I have no voice. But at least

124
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: then they'll know I'm not a chicken, right, at least

125
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: then they'll know that I, you know, love and respect

126
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: Rush and his audience, and and this is like being

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: in you know, this is like being invited to Valhalla.

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: Like I'm showing up even if you know, my sword

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: is a little dull and my shield is cracked, you know.

130
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: So I say, I'm gonna go, and my mom figures

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: out that that morning there is a doctor who specializes

132
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: specializes in opera singers who have to have vocal core

133
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: treatment of some kind, right or you have to have

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: something done because they've they've got a flu or the cold,

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: and they've got to go on. You know, the show

136
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: must go on. You got to go on stage. My

137
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: mother reaches out convinces this doctor too. She was actually

138
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: on her way to her country home. Okay, convinces her.

139
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: And I still don't even know how this conversation. My

140
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: mom's very persuasive. She goes, look my son's philling, and

141
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is amazing that she'll open her practice

142
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: just for me in the morning the morning of the

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: fill in at about ten am. And you all know

144
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: this show goes on at noon Eastern time. So I'm

145
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: going to see this doctor or two hours before and

146
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: basically tell her, you know, I don't care if you

147
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: have to turn me into Frankenstein. But whatever you got,

148
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I know Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster. Everybody, Oh,

149
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You know what I mean. Okay,

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: the mons. I don't care where you have to put

151
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the bolts in my neck and you know, electrocute my void.

152
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. I gotta do this show. And she goes,

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: all right, there's only one she says. He's like, there's

154
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 1: only one thing we can do. But you gotta understand something.

155
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: It's only gonna last about three hours. Like, wait a second,

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. There's only one thing we

157
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: could do. It's not going to be perfect, and it's

158
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: basically going to fade over the course of me doing

159
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: a three hour radio program. She's like, that's it, that's

160
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: what we got. So she gave me a nice, big

161
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: old injection of COURTI zone and it because she said,

162
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: your vocal chords are so swollen and inflamed. Not only

163
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: will you be unable to do the show without this,

164
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: but you could actually do real damage and scarring to

165
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: your vocal chords if you try to push through this.

166
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: So I'm glad I didn't do that. And I said,

167
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: all right, So she gives me the shot, and so

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I sit down for the first time ever twenty fourteen

169
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: EIB and at the Golden Mic, and the whole time

170
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the best show I can, and

171
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: it was not my best show, but you know, under

172
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: the circumstances, I was pretty proud of myself just for

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: getting through it. But the whole time, I'm thinking, at

174
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: any moment, my voice could disappear. At any moment. This

175
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: could basically because it wasn't a scratchy voice, it was whisper,

176
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: it was no voice. And I will tell you the

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: last thirty minutes of that show on this platform, on

178
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: the biggest radio show in the country, my first time

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: ever out most of you, some of you heard that show.

180
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure, by the way, I'm probably a pretty good

181
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: number of you did. The last thirty minutes, I could

182
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: actually feel my voice going, and by the time I

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: got home about thirty minutes after three Eastern time, when

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: the show ended, my voice was entirely gone again. So

185
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: we managed to get the vocal cords open for just

186
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: the window on the EIP to do the show, and

187
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: thankfully it was good enough and all of you were

188
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: kind enough listening and the response from you was strong

189
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: enough that then they had me back many many times

190
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: to fill in for Russia over the years. But that

191
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: was about the most stress stressful live performance I've ever

192
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: had to do. And thank you Mom, Merry Christmas Love,

193
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: You're the best she uh you know it was. It

194
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: was amazing how it all worked out. But I'm saying

195
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Christmas miracles are possible, and the show must go on. Friends,

196
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: the show absolutely must go on. We'll come back and

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: update you on what Biden's supposed to be talking about here.

198
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: But also I'm seeing that there's a call to ban

199
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: alcohol on flights as violence spikes. I've got a different

200
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: theory on why violence is spiking on flights, which I'll

201
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: share with you. And if you have a question for me,

202
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of asked buck anything day here, it's my

203
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: last live show of this year. Eight hundred two eight

204
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: two to eight eight two. Clay Travis in tomorrow solo

205
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: and the next day we'll get to all of that

206
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: everything else. I said you coming up. Tunlet to Towers

207
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Foundation is making the holidays brighter for our nation's gold

208
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: star and fallen first responder families with young children. They're

209
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: doing that by awarding mortgage free homes to deserving families.

210
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: From Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve. They're doing this at

211
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: least once per day. For many of these families, the

212
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: holidays are a tough reminder of the sacrifice their hero

213
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: made for us. With each mortgage free home, the Foundation

214
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: is delivering on its promise to do good and never forget.

215
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: For some of these families, they have the comfort of

216
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: knowing they can stay in the home that they picked

217
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: with their loved one, the home where they made precious

218
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: holiday memories. For families in a new home, they're creating

219
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: memories they'll cherish forever. All of this is possible because

220
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: of your generosity. Support America's greatest heroes and their families.

Speaker 1: driving well and let us know at one eight hund

Speaker 1: two eight two two eight eight two. Clay Travis and

225
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton fund the EIB Network. We are keeping our

226
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: schools open. Let me repeat that we are keeping schools

227
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: open because we're dealing with a very different variant at

228
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: this time. We believe that it's critically important that our

229
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: children not end up in that same situation they were

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: for so many months, when they were so displaced from

231
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: their normal environment. We're in a different environment, a different circumstance,

232
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: and so part of our winter surge plan, and we

233
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: are committed to keeping our schools open. I hope that holds.

234
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay and Buck Show. That was the

235
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: governor or by happenstance of the State of New York,

236
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel, saying schools are gonna stay open, but some

237
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: seem like they may go remote make the choice too.

238
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Maybe some of the private schools we'll see. Remember private

239
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: schools and parochial schools in New York were open pretty

240
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: much the entire pandemic for starting in the fall of

241
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, right, So there were places that were just open,

242
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: while the public school system in a lot of places

243
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: as some kind of well, it's very obvious what it was.

244
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: The teachers unions call the shot to the Democrat Party.

245
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: It's a huge source of funding and political muscle, and

246
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: no Democrat politician will cross the teachers unions. They do

247
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: so with their peril. They know that, so that is

248
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: why they had shutdowns as widely as they did, and

249
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: we have still not really come to grips with the

250
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: reality of what that has done, particularly to children from

251
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: disadvantaged or low income households, disparate portionately affecting children who

252
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: are even more dependent on school just for stability and

253
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: for their overall development. So it was really cruel what

254
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: was done by these teachers unions and Randy Weingarten of

255
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: I always forget if she's with the AFT or the

256
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: other one, but the head of one of the big unions.

257
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: But what they've done is awful. They put neurotic, lazy

258
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: adults ahead of kids, and millions of children suffered as

259
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: a result of it. And also though before I get

260
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: to some more of your calls, and we were going

261
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: to have our friend Matt Walshman Delhi Wire, but he

262
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: had an emergency come up, so we'll have him in

263
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: the new year to talk about his book. And he's

264
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: one of the few people out there I can think

265
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: of who I believe agrees with me that this I

266
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: see everyone now using preferred pronouns for transgender individuals, including

267
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: a news coverage, including conservative news coverage. So we're calling

268
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: he's she's and she's he's. Why are we doing that?

269
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I understand that they insist that you do this on

270
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the left, but I don't think that that's a concession

271
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: that should be. Yes, change your name absolutely. My first

272
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: name is James for those of you who don't know,

273
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: my middle name is Buckman. But change your name by

274
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: all means, but change your gender. Can't do it. Can't

275
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: do it. So we'll talk to Matt about that a

276
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: bit more than the new year. But on the school issue,

277
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: this is something that I usually would tell on my

278
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: radio show in previous years and some people some of

279
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: you listening may know this, A lot of you listening

280
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: across the country won't. But for the parents out there,

281
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: I tell this story because I hope that it's one

282
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: of those things that will for some of you give

283
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: you just a little bit of reassurance and just to

284
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: stay to stay on it. And when it comes to

285
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: education and making sure that you know you're believing in

286
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: your kid is so critical, right, believing in them in

287
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: an educational way. I mean, of course you love your children,

288
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: you'll do anything for them, but you know, believing in

289
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: them and pushing them and giving them every opportunity to

290
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: succeed in academic environment. So I sit here with you now,

291
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: and obviously Clay is out today on vacation. But this

292
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: is this platform that we share that Rush built on.

293
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: The EIBA is the biggest single talk radio show in

294
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the country. Which you may not know some of you

295
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: might is that I was somebody who actually had a

296
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: speech impediment. As a kid, I had an annunciation disorder.

297
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: So I was falling behind in class. I could not

298
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: pronounce my own name. When I was in the second grade,

299
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I would mispronounce my own name and I won't even

300
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: tell you how I pronounced it, but I did not.

301
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: It was not good. And you can imagine when you

302
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: were a kid and you say your name to people

303
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: and they laugh at you. That's not particularly confidence boosting

304
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: or inspiring. And I also, because of this, I think,

305
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: was falling behind in school as well. So going into

306
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: second grade, third grade, I was a kid who was

307
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the class. They thought about They

308
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: told my parents. I was at a Catholic school here

309
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: in New York. They told my parents that I might

310
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: have to go to a special school and that I

311
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: needed speech therapy. Now, the head of the lower they

312
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: called it the lower school at the time. So the

313
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: part of the school that goes up to I guess

314
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: third or fourth grade was a great woman named Jane

315
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Warwick who was well known here in New York City

316
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: education circles, and she, with my parents backed me. She said,

317
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we're gonna actually, we're gonna fix this.

318
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Get We're gonna get him speech therapy, and we're going

319
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: to encourage him and maybe give him some extra extra tutoring,

320
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: right for academics. So I went from being a kid

321
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: who couldn't pronounce his own name, literally could not do it.

322
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean I would, I would miss. Annunciation disorders are tough.

323
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: You hear some people just say a consonant wrong or something,

324
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: but if you do that enough, it sounds weird, and people,

325
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, make fun of you. Right, That's

326
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: what was happening to me. So a kid with a

327
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: speech impediment at the bottom of the class. But my parents,

328
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: my mom and my dad say we're gonna we're with

329
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: you no matter what on this one, and we're going

330
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: to keep him in normal school. You know, the school

331
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: that I was in, I should say, not a special

332
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: education program outside of it and within about eighteen months

333
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: to two years the speech thing was totally fixed. And

334
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: within three years I wasn't at the bottom of the class.

335
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: I was number one in my class. By the time

336
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: I got to the eighth grade. I got a one

337
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars scholarship to a private high school in

338
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: New York called Regis and was a standout on the

339
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: debate team. And I will tell you a quick fun

340
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: story about that. And of course now I'm here on

341
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: the clan Buck Show, the biggest talk radio program in

342
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: the country, so you can imagine quite a storyline arc

343
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: here from speech impediment to biggest radio show in America.

344
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: I always remember that I had just one. It may

345
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: have been my second, but I think my first my second,

346
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: And I think I wish I could tell you my

347
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: first speech and debate tournament as a high school freshman,

348
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: and I got to run up to I thought she

349
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: was so pretty. It was just a couple of years

350
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: older than me. My speech therapist daughter was at a party.

351
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: She was a year or two older than midtime, and

352
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: I always thought she was you know, I had like

353
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: a kind of a crush on her, and I just

354
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: remember I went up to and I was like, hey,

355
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was a patient of your moms and

356
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: I just won my debate tournament. And I can tell

357
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: you she did not care at all. She's like, who

358
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: is this younger guy who's talking to me at a party?

359
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Like where's the where's the captain of the football team?

360
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Get out of your speech, nerd. But point being, for me,

361
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: it was a big moment. It was a big moment,

362
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: and I really appreciated that. So to all the parents

363
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: out there, if you and look, I think, especially now,

364
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: given how much a lot of kids have had to,

365
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, step away from the classroom. They've been forced

366
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: to be masked up, away from their friends, away from

367
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: normal learning, away from their favorite teachers, you know, you

368
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: might require a little extra. You know, you might have

369
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: to do more at home than you have in the past.

370
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: And maybe some of the test scores that you're going

371
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: to see in the next year or two aren't what

372
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: they weren't what they were before, or maybe you're a

373
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: little concerned about it. Stay on it, stay with it.

374
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: I think the single most important thing that parents can do,

375
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: and this is just from my own experience for a kid,

376
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: especially a kid who's struggling a little bit, whether it's

377
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: with a speech issue or just school in general or

378
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: behavioral issue. Is stay with them, stay on it, and

379
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: believe in them. If you do that, it'll be fine.

380
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: You know, will it turn it? Will the person turn

381
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: into a talk radio host? I don't know. Maybe will

382
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: your son or daughter go that route? I mean I wouldn't.

383
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: It's not an easy life, by the way. I wouldn't

384
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: recommend it necessarily. But stay with them, stay on it,

385
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: believe in them, and it will all be fine. That's

386
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: all you gotta do. And that's what my parents did.

387
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: Is I got great parents, very lucky. We'll take some

Speaker 1: of what Rush turned it into over the course of decades.

434
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: And I've been saying to people and it's sort of sticks.

435
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: No one can fill Rush His shoes but so I

436
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: just figured I'll try to fill one and Clay will

00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: trying to spread the truth, trying to defend freedom in

443
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: this country. And to speak for a lot of you,

444
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: millions of you, literally millions of you across the country

445
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: who don't have a radio show, but share our beliefs,

446
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: share our principles, and know how important these fights are.

447
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: And to that end, we have to understand this as

448
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: a strategy. We are in a battle for the future

449
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: of this country, and we need to do a lot

450
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: more than just talk about what's going wrong with the left.

451
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: People say, well, what can we do? How do we

452
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: change things? I mean, sure the communists want to ruin things,

453
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: but how do we make everything better? Well, one way

454
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: is to build our own platforms and systems and support

455
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: each other every time you listen to the show, every

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: time you and by the way, I am a capitalist,

457
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: so I say this unabashedly every time you check out

458
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 1: and support one of our sponsors, you're voting in favor

459
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: of what we talk about, the principles, views and values

460
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: of this show every day, every phone call, every purchase,

461
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: everything you do, every time you tell somebody about it.

462
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: But the right needs to do more than just what

463
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: has existed in the past. And we view this play

464
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: and I here on this show as as honestly a

465
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: sacred obligation to conservatism into America to use this incredible

466
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: I've said, the unsingable aircraft carrier of free speech to

467
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: try and help others also in the fight to build out.

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm somebody. One of the knocks on me

469
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: in the business has been I don't view other conservatives

470
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: as competitors. I view them as allies and people along

471
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the way. So that's why you don't hear. But I

472
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: don't trash other conservatives. I don't go after them. And

473
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: people on the way have given me tremendous solved none

474
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: more show than than Rush. But also Glenn Beck was

475
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: enormously helpful to me in the early days. Always thankful

476
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to Glenn for that giving me my first real shot,

477
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: and then Rush giving me my first real break. So

478
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: we want to build out more. Rush understood this, Russia

479
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: agreed with this. I want to play for you what

480
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: he said. It's going to be a little bit of

481
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: a longer segment here. I want I want you to

482
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: hear what Rush said in June of twenty twenty about

483
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: creating what we could call a conservative medium mothership here

484
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: and expanding it out and how we can win the

485
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: future with it. Here's what any of you might remember.

486
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: The former guest host on this program, Buck sexted to

487
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: the CIA. Buck now tweets a lot. Does he have

488
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: his own show now? Or yeah he does and he

489
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: ran for office? Or am I confusing him with Jason?

490
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: It was Jason Lewis and he's not. Jason Lewis is

491
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: not CIA. Bucked was the CI. Jason Lewis was CIA two.

492
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: So so we're not getting our guest host from the CIA. Then,

493
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: all right, way way, Buck has been on a tweet

494
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: storm and had to put it in one of those

495
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: uh one of those uh thread apps because there's so

496
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: many tweets and he's ticked off at at how conservative

497
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: everything has just given up. Has just seated the country, seated, Hollywood,

498
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: seated music, seated television, the media everything. He doesn't understand it.

499
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: If one of the conservative billionaires out there has any

500
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: stomach for saving their country from this mob, they should

501
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: buy and flip a major media platform or fund a

502
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: new one and make it an unsinkable aircraft carrier of

503
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: true free speech. And I get this a lot. I've

504
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: had this question of why doesn't some wealthy conservative come

505
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: along and buy CBS or ABC or anything else. I

506
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea. I happen to know

507
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: that a bunch of people who have bought networks are

508
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: not flaming leftists, and they never do anything to change

509
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: the news networks that are part of the corporations that

510
00:26:53,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: they have purchased. Buck Sexton continues, we are completely out

511
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: gunned in the platform wars, and it's only getting worse.

512
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: All a major social media and streaming content companies are

513
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: part of a liberal death star. Stop sending checks to

514
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: think tanks that overpay second tier scholars to churn out

515
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: policy papers. If five people read, he's thinking about people

516
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: like Bill Crystal and Jonah Goldberg and the never Trumper contingent,

517
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: who at one time or another have worked at think

518
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: tanks where they have sought your donation on the basis

519
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: that they and they alone are carrying the conservative manner

520
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: into battle, when in fact most people never heard of them.

521
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be he says. This new

522
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Enterprise doesn't even have to be conservative in mission. It

523
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: would soon become dominated by conservatives, though if it adamantly

524
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: refused to censor speech to the woke mob, the left

525
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: can no longer debate like saying, people but they don't

526
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: have to. They just point, scream and cancel. Meanwhile, I

527
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: know ultra wealthy conservatives who are terrified of anybody finding

528
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: out what their politics are because to be accepted among

529
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: the elites, you have to at least allow those around

530
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: you to believe that your woke and live. And by

531
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: the way, I can confirm that I have. Over the

532
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: course of my career, I have met and been introduced

533
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: to some of the wealthiest conservatives I didn't even I

534
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: didn't even know they existed in real estate and high

535
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: financing California, in whatever business in New York, and the

536
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: last thing they ever wanted anybody to know was there politics.

537
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,239
Speaker 1: Some of them didn't want anybody to know that they

538
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: supported George W. Bush. And I remember scratching my said,

539
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: why what they said, Well, you know Bush's studies an embarrassment.

540
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: I have a tough time explaining to them that wasn't it.

541
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: That was just a convenient excuse. They valued their social

542
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: status more than their political portfolio. He says, all of

543
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: this adds up to a massive cultural failing of the right.

544
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: And where are the older leaders in conservative media building

545
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: up the next generation. Folks on our side seem obsessed

546
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: with their own brands, protecting their turf, which is a

547
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: small slice of the media landscape. We need more voices

548
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: with serious platforms that we control. Here again, I know

549
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: exactly what he's talking about. There was a there was

550
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: a seminal moment that you may not agree with this,

551
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: There was a seminal moment with the passing of William F.

552
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Buckley Jr. Now William Buckley Junior had retired years before

553
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: he passed away, but he was the quote unquote father

554
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: of the intellectual conservative movement. And the thing that Buckley

555
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: had the ability to do was annoint and grant approval

556
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: to newly arrived young conservatives. And he did, and he

557
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: bestowed upon them credibility that resulted from him. He had

558
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: that kind of credibility. He had that kind of juice

559
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: that if somebody knew came along, he wasn't threatened by

560
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: their existence. His National Review Empire. He didn't. He didn't think,

561
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, I gotta I gotta protect this this

562
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: guy could overtake me, and didn't think that way. He

563
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: was truly a movement guy. But when he passed away,

564
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: all that ended. And what happened, what replaced Buckley was

565
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: a battle that's still raging over the smartest conservative in

566
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: the room and who is it and who gets to

567
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: decide it? And there isn't There isn't a conservative movement

568
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: that has a force leader individual who is attempting to

569
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: encourage younger members, and even the younger members don't seem

570
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: to have much of an ambition. The joke around Washington

571
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: today among young conservatives is if they can get a

572
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Fox newsgig at a book deal, they consider their careers

573
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: to have been made. There's enough money and enough prestige

574
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: there to say they've made it. Well. What's not included

575
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: at a Fox News deal in a book? Fox newsgig

576
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: at a book deal, No persuasion, no expanding the universe,

577
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: no expanding a movement. That's what Buck Sexton, formerly the CI,

578
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: is talking about. Here. Where are the older leaders in

579
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: conservative media who are welcoming and building up the next generation.

580
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: We have people more concerned with protecting their own brands

581
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: and their own turf, which individually, these conservatives we're talking

582
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: about are so tiny and small that nobody knows they

583
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: are anyway. We need more voices, and we need more

584
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: encouragement for those voices. But at the same time, the

585
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: young arrivals are not completely immune from the from the problem.

586
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, book deal and a Fox News gig, and

587
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: that's the definition of making it, and the two do

588
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: go together. But it is the kind of stuff that

589
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: a building growing, planting deep roots kind of movement is

590
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: based on. He says. When I first got into media,

591
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: this is Buck Sexton here, formerly of the CIA. When

592
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I first got into media, I thought our side would

593
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: be like pro sports. Generally, the veterans would want to

594
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: bring up the rookies as part of the natural order

595
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: to help the team win. Conservative media is more like

596
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: warring cartels. Many of the big names just want to

597
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: stamp out the upstarts. And Buck Sexton, formerly of the CIA, says,

598
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: I know you could say that's just business, but this

599
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: is supposed to be about more than that. And in fact,

600
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: some big names out there pretend that the fame and

601
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: the money don't matter m all. It's just the cause,

602
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: and they build brands on that premise to their audience,

603
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: and they're full of it. Our side is losing right now.

604
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: We have the left on a mad cancel spree. Nobody

605
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: is safe from it. The Supreme Court is a liberal

606
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: super legislature. Corporate America is in radical left back pocket.

607
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: We're hoping Trump pulls off a miracle this fall, but

608
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: what if he fails. Whoever wins this fall, we're still

609
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: going to be living in a country where you'll be tweeting,

610
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna be facebooking. It be Amazon priming, youtubing, Instagram posting,

611
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: Netflix watching, Hulu streaming based on the curated tastes and

612
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: activism of the left. We lose if this continues, full

613
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: stop and honestly, writes Buck Sexton, formerly of the CIA,

614
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: if we don't do something about this, we deserve to lose.

615
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: Who thought that it was a sustainable plan to just

616
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: seed ninety percent of the media, ninety percent of Hollywood

617
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: academia and now Corporate America did this, won't mob. We

618
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: need to build conservative media motherships right now, This, my friends,

619
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: is our conservative media mothership. Rush is the one who

620
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: built it, and we will continue to fly it do

621
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: the best we can fight for those causes. And of course,

622
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: as Rush was talking about that older generation bringing up

623
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: the young guns, mentoring, teaching, building, that was Rush. That's

624
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: what he did for me, That's what he's done for

625
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: so many others. So I thought you should hear that.

626
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: What's our mission, the conservative media mothership in twenty twenty two,

627
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: that builds up conservatives, that holds politicians to account, including

628
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: on our side, and tries to win the fight for

629
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: this country. That is our mission and we take it

630
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: directly as you heard there from Rush himself. Look, I

631
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: start every morning with Black Rifle coffee. It is my

632
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: go to. It's absolutely delicious. And this is a company

633
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: founded by veterans a special operations community. These guys are patriots.

634
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: They serve their country in combat zones, many of them

635
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: multiple tours, and they're all about the First Amendment, the

636
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, and bringing you the best coffee you could

Speaker 1: Clay Travis said, Buck Sexton Fund the EID Network. Welcome back,

653
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: folks to the Clay and Buck Show. We've got a

654
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: special guest with us now. Blake Masters is the president

655
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: of the Teal Foundation and co of Teal Capital He's

656
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: a Tucson native running for a US Senate seat in

657
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: the great state of Arizona, and he joins US now

658
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: talk about a whole range of issues. Blake, thanks so

659
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: much for calling in, absolutely, Buck, thanks for having me

660
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: so and to all our KFYI listeners out there in

661
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: the Phoenix area, thanks for tuning in. Of course, Blake,

662
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: I want to start with this because you are somebody

663
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: who thinks it is absurd based on what you what

664
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: you've tweeted, and I've heard you say that members of

665
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: Congress effectively can get away with inside or trading. I've

666
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: had a lot of people calling in today as well

667
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: that are asking, hey, how many members of Congress right

668
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: now own stock in companies that produce these vaccines. I

669
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: just want to want to lay it out, your guy,

670
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: who really understands these things. Why the heck can members

671
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: of Congress essentially use inside information to enrich themselves and

672
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: we know a lot of them do. And also, what

673
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: do you think about members of Congress owning stock and

674
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: companies Because there's been some research into this. They do

675
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: own some of them stock and companies that produce vaccines,

676
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: and Buck, if you look at their returns that these

677
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: lawmakers make. They're outperforming the market. Man. These people ought

678
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: to be professional hedge fund executives because they know how

679
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: to trade stock. I think it's disgusting, it's corrupt. It's disgusting.

680
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: Certainly it appears corrupt, and so that's corrosive to our politics.

681
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: But just look at how much Nancy Pelosi and her

682
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: husband have made creating public equities about which they have

683
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: material non public information. I mean, it's just completely corrupt.

684
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: I think this should be banned. Individual lawmakers should not

685
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: be able to own and trade individual stocks. Nancy Pelosi responded,

686
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: I think in part maybe to some of the noise

687
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: and criticism you've rightly been making on this issue, Blake,

688
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: she said something along the lines of, I think we've

689
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: played her on the show last week. You know, members

690
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: of Congress should be able to participate in the free market.

691
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there's a free market and illegal

692
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: drugs too, right, There's a lot of rules out there

693
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: that people have to obey when it comes to the market,

694
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: and it seems to me that material non public information,

695
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: especially when Congress is spending trillions of dollars and having

696
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: all kinds of carve outs for different industries, protection from

697
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: lawsuits from I don't know, vaccine makers, things like that.

698
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: There should be some accountability here, that's right. It's ridiculous

699
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: for her to talk about the free market. It's just outrageous.

700
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: She's politician who's getting rich off of her position. Right,

701
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 1: there's obviously terrible incentives around allowing the same people who

702
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: make tax and regulatory policy allowing them to benefit from it.

703
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: So I think you know it's time to recognize this

704
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: has just gone on way too long. This is why

705
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Congress has like, what is it, a six percent approval rating.

706
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, and everybody feels like these people are just corrupt. Increasingly,

707
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: it feels to me like the only difference between our

708
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: country and a third world dictatorship is we have to

709
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: pretend our leaders aren't corrupt. Well, Nancy Pelosi is, and

710
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: she didn't be allowed to trade individual stocks. We're speaking

711
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: a blank master CEO of Teel Capital. He's running for

712
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: Senate in Arizona. To our Arizona team Clay and buck

713
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: listeners out there, And I also want to know what

714
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: you think just about here. One Biden economy inflation, the

715
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: Biden agenda stalled out. What's going on from a guy

716
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: who actually understands how markets function and what works in

717
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: the economy and what does it Well, look, I knew

718
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: it was going to be bad, if I'm honest, though

719
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: it's been a lot worse and a lot faster than

720
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: even I would have guessed. Right on day one. What

721
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: did Biden do? The first thing he did was halt

722
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: construction finishing of the border wall. The second thing he

723
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: did was he canceled the Keystone pipeline. You know, that's

724
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: bad for the tens of thousands of Americans who lose

725
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: their jobs, But think about what that does to people

726
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: who are trying to build long term projects. If the

727
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: government can just come and cancel your pipeline that you

728
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: invested hundreds of millions of dollars and twenty years in,

729
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: think about what that does to the business environment. So

730
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: of course we're announ seeing supply shocks, we're seeing inflation,

731
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing shortages. I mean, this is the nineteen seventies

732
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: all over again. And unfortunately Biden is so incompetent, or

733
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe he wants this to happen. I don't know. I

734
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: think it's going to get a lot worse. I really do.

735
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of Blake Masters running for Senate in US Senate

736
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Blake, what would you want to do? I mean,

737
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: let's say that we're heading in here and you are elected,

738
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: and we have a Republican Now. I know, obviously we

739
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: still have a Bidens as the president, but you can

740
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: still push ideas in the Senate. When you have a majority,

741
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: those ideas can get a little bit further. What has

742
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: to happen now to get the economy to Oh, I

743
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know the feeling and the numbers that we had

744
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen under Trump, before the pandemic and Biden

745
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. What would you want

746
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: to see happen? Well, the first thing we need to

747
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: do is to stop printing curllions of dollars. Right. It's

748
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: a common sense that if you do that, you are

749
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: going to get inflation. You know, officially inflation is six

750
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: or seven percent right now. Unofficially I think it's a

751
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: lot higher than that. And that is a deadly silent

752
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: cap on so many tens of millions of hard working Americans.

753
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: So the first thing we do is stop the bleeding,

754
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: stop printing money. Government has enough money, right, The problem

755
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: is it's so inefficient and so broken that they just

756
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: don't do anything well with it. So stop the bleeding

757
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: and then implement President Trump's economic policies. You under President Trump,

758
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: we had a roaring economy right before COVID. Median wages

759
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: in this country had started to rise for the first

760
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: time in like fifty years. It was getting easier, not harder,

761
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: for normal people to make ends meet and to raise

762
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: a family. And assistant rocket science, we know what to do.

763
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: We just have to get the Democrats out of power

764
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: and reimplement these great policies. Blake as we hear some

765
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: of the more open socialist members of the United States

766
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: Congress right now saying things like Elon Musk is a

767
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: freeloader who doesn't pay taxes, and then it comes out

768
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: that Elon is supposed to pay about I think it's

769
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve billion dollars in taxes for this year alone.

770
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: You think folks are starting to realize that the collectivist,

771
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: redistributionist left wing Democrats are either lying or just don't

772
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: know what the heck they're talking about when it comes

773
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: to this. I do. I think people are realizing it.

774
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: It's why I think we're going to crush the Democrats

775
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. And look, Elizabeth Warren was saying this, right,

776
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: was calling Elon Musk a parasite. No Elon paid more

777
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: taxes this year or will than any American in history.

778
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: And he's built great companies. Right, He's done a thousand

779
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: times more in a day for this country what Elizabeth

780
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: Warren has done her whole life. And this is Champaigne socialism, right,

781
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: this is limousine liberalism. Elizabeth Warren flies on private jets.

782
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: She I think has like twelve million dollars in individual equities, right,

783
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: public stocks that she should not be allowed to own.

784
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: She's a hypocrite, and she's a wealth destroyer, not a

785
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: wealth creator. And I think people are onto it. Blake Masters, everybody, Blake.

786
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: Where should folks go to learn more about your campaign

787
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: for Senate in Arizona? Thanks Buck. You can go to

788

790
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: gift for the campaign. I will put it to good use.

791
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: We will crush the Dems in twenty twenty two. Fuck,

792
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks so much, Blake. Good luck to you.

793
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: And also thanks to our great affiliate out there in Phoenix,

794
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: KFY and all the folks listening in Arizona. Right now,

795
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: Joe Biden addressing the nation. We're going to come back

796
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: to it in a moment, live friends, We'll get to

797
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: actually should we? Should we? You know what? Can? We? Can?

798
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: We go to the start of it right now? Do

799
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 1: we have him? Let's hear Joe. We headed into Christmas weekend.

800
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: I want to answer your questions about the rising number

801
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: of COVID cases COVID nineteen cases, and I want to

802
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: start by acknowledging how tired, worried, and frustrated. I know

803
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: you are. I know how you're feeling. For many of you,

804
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: this will be the first or even the second Christmas

805
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: where you look across the table will be an empty

806
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: kitchen chair. There tens of millions have gotten sick. We've

807
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: all experienced up people in our lives. But while COVID

808
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: has been a tough adversary, we've shown that we're tougher,

809
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: tougher because we have the power of science and vaccines

810
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: that prevent illness and save lives, and tougher because of

811
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: our resolves. So then let me answer some questions that

812
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: lay out the steps the Vice President I are taking

813
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: to prepare for the rising number of cases experts tell

814
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: us we can expect in the weeks ahead. First, how

815
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: concerned should you be about omicron, which is now the

816
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: dominant variant in this country that happens so quickly. The

817
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: answer is straightforward. If you're not fully vaccinated, you have

818
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: good reason to be concerned. You're at a high risk

819
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: of getting sick. And if you get sick, you're likely

820
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: to spread it to others, including friends and family, and

821
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated have a significantly higher risk of ending up

822
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: in a hospital or even dying. Almost everyone who has

823
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: died from COVID nineteen in the past many months has

824
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: been unvaccinated. Unvaccinated because you're among the majority of Americans

825
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: who are fully vaccinated, and especially if you've gotten the

826
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: booster shot, that third shot, you're much you have much,

827
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: much less reason to worry. You have a high degree

828
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: your protection against severe illness. Because omicrom spreads so easily,

829
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: we'll see some fully vaccinated people get COVID potentially in

830
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: large numbers. Will be positive cases in every office, even

831
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: here in the White House, among the among the vaccinated,

832
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: among the vaccinated, from omicrom but these cases are highly

833
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: unlikely to lead to serious illness. Vaccinated people get COVID

834
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: may get ill, but they're protected from severe illness and death.

835
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: That's why you should still remain vigilant. According to our doctors,

836
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: even if you're fully vaccinated, you should wear a mask

837
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: when indoors and in public settings. Wearing a mask provides

838
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: extra protection for you and those around you. And I

839
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: know some Americas are wondering if you can safely celebrate

840
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: the holidays with your family and friends. The answers, yes,

841
00:47:54,560 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: you can if you and those who celebrate are vaccinated,

842
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: if you've gotten your booster shot. If you are vaccinated

843
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: and follow the precautions that we all know well, you

844
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: should feel comfortable celebrating Christmas in the holidays as you

845
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: planned it. You know you've done the right thing. You

846
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: could enjoy the holiday season. And thanks to the progress

847
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: on vaccinations this fall, we've gone from nearly ninety million

848
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: adults in July who had not even started their vaccination

849
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: process it to fewer than forty million today. There's still

850
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 1: too many. Down from ninety to forty all these people

851
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: who have not been vaccinated, you have an obligation to yourselves,

852
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: to your family, and quite frankly, I know I'll get

853
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: criticized for this to your country. Get vaccinated now, it's free,

854
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: it's convenient, I promise you it saves. So there's nothing

855
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: really new here. You'll notice he doesn't ever stop to say,

856
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: our huge program to stop the spread, which is what

857
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: we promised you, was a massive failure. But yes, it

858
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: is good for you as an individual, and you should

859
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: make the choice to protect yourself. Stopping the spread with

860
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: these vaccines did not work. That did not work. Individual protection.

861
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: Sure that works. Instead of getting the next big cell

862
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: phone bill from Verizon AT and T and T Mobile,

863

Speaker 1: behind their facts. Just to make it fair, Clay Travis said,

878
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the EIB network M
