1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody. Friday edition of Clay 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: in Buck starts right now across the country. Appreciate you 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: being with us year. And we have more on Yes, 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: you know it's coming Trump indictment watch to share with you. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: Probably put a little countdown clock on screens on news 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: channels across the country. President firing off some more thoughts. 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: They're definitely thoughts on what's going on there, another legal 9 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: analysis coming in. The overwhelming weight of it is unless 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: you are so blinded by anti Trump hatred that you 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: just refuse to see reality, Every legal analyst worth a 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: darn knows that this anti Trump effort in New York 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: City is completely insane. In fact, even the honest lib 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: legal analysts out there who will say that they hate 15 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: Trump and he's you know, destroying the country, they'll say, look, 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: this is absurd, but it could be next week. We 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: know it's not going to be today because when the 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: grand jury means. We'll have some updates on that, some 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: additional information to share with you. We also have an 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: incident in Syria. You know there's roughly well, it's something 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: like eight or nine hundred US troops. We don't know 22 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: the exact number, that's just the Pentagon's general number that 23 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: they give us. And also hundreds of contractors. Additionally in 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: northeastern Syria, effectively a small anti Isis resurgence force that's 25 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: meant to be there to prevent the Islamic state. Remember 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: all that from coming back. We lost a US contractor 27 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: in a strike, their indirect fire strike with an Iranian 28 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: backed militia behind it. We have responded, we'll give you 29 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: updates on that, but we took a casualty in a 30 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: place where a lot of people forget that we even 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: have US presence, and they're still active, still active kinetic operations, 32 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: as in people shooting at each other, often with indirect fire. 33 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: But that is happening every month, That's happened dozens of 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: times in the last year. Loan, so we could do 35 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: a little national security analysis on that, and we have 36 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: the Desantists sit down with Piers Morgan to discuss clay 37 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: we can we can get into some of what I 38 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: think came out of that one. But but first I 39 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: speaking of De Santists, I want to spend a little 40 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: time on what the current left wing of the Democrat 41 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: Party is throwing a fit about and it is. We 42 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: all remember the Parental Rights and Education Bill, which they 43 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: tried to call the don't say Gay Bill, and then 44 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Rhonda Santists had those memorable exchanges with reporters where they 45 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: would say, what do you think about the say gay bill? 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 1: He's like, well, first of all, nowhere in the bill 47 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: doesn't even say the word gay. It's about sexual orientation 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: and sexual sexual orientation indoctrination, and particularly around transgender issues, 49 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: like do you need to talk to third graders and 50 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: second graders about transgenderism? And in Florida they say, you 51 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: don't need to talk to them about that. Well, now 52 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: they're looking to expand this. There's a big mandate for 53 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: Republicans in Florida under governor to Scantists, we all know that, 54 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: and they're looking to expand it, perhaps all the way 55 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: up to twelfth grade. So no grade school through high 56 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: school indoctrination discussion and we can get into someone what 57 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: these details are a claim. Unsurprisingly, the Democrat left is 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: completely freaking out about this, AOC saying this is clip five, 59 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: it's fascism. They are asking the Republican Party to keep 60 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: culture wars out of classrooms. Our children need urgent and 61 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: aggressive educational solutions. The American Library Association coming out against 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: this Republican proposal. When we talk about progressive values, I 63 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: can say what my progressive value is, and that is 64 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: freedom over fascism. Could I just say, Clay this Democrats 65 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: are gonna lose on this one. Trump and descantists should 66 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: lean in on this one. That's what I see happening. 67 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: It's not even aoc. I watched some of the reactions 68 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: to this on the House floor, and let's play a 69 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: couple more of these, because some of these people have 70 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: completely lost their minds over this. Like Keim Jeffreys, I 71 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: think we have this audio says that they don't want 72 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: kids to learn about the Holocaust, which is pretty crazy 73 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: to even argue based on any of this. This is 74 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: cut eight. Listen to this extream maga Republicans don't want 75 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: the children of America to learn about the Holocaust. Well, 76 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: that is completely made up. We had First of all, 77 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: we had nothing to do with creating the Holocaust, right like, 78 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: we actually rescued everyone who was a victim of the 79 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: Holocaust by and large, in Germany and all throughout Europe 80 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: when we liberated that entire continent from Nazi control. But 81 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: this is just so unhinged. So and there's another one 82 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: of these that I thought this is crazy. Here's a keem. 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: Jeffreys again was saying, and again, I think this is important, 84 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: and I would encourage any one who is a Republican 85 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: staff or anyone who is a congress person senator the 86 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: way this conversation is taking place with the idea of bands. 87 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: We're not banning anything. We're just discussing what's appropriate inside 88 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: of school to be taught to school children, which is, 89 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: to me, the essence of what parents should be deciding 90 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: as it pertains to public education. But if you are 91 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: listening to us right now and you think it's wildly 92 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: important that your kids read about and let's play cut 93 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: six here, and you think it's incredibly important that your 94 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: kids read books about gender identity and trans kids, no 95 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: one is stopping you from sharing those books with your kids. 96 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: Here's cut six. Despite what they're saying, this is not 97 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: a ban, This is not some sort of cancel culture universe. 98 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: This is just a discussion about what's appropriate inside of schools. 99 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: What else do they want to ban? I want to 100 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: ban a book called Melissa, a book describing very personal 101 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: terms the experience of a trans girl beginning to understand 102 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: her identity. What's so dangerous about that? I was taught 103 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: in my religion, growing up in the Cornerstone Baptist Church, 104 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: that we are all God's children. Shouldn't we learn about 105 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: all of God's children? That's what my religion teaches me. 106 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean again, it's not a banning, it's not opending. 107 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: It's just whether or not it's in a school. Since 108 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: he brought up his Baptist church, I'm just wondering what 109 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: would if we went and asked Baptist ministers, what do 110 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: you think about talking about pen sexuality and transgenderism to 111 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: seven year olds? I have a feeling the ministers would 112 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: generally think that that is inappropriate, right, Yeah, well, I 113 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: mean buckets not to your point earlier. What I think 114 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Democrats learned very rapidly is how out of touch they 115 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: are not only with the Republican and independent parents in 116 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: terms of what their thoughts are on this issue, but 117 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: remember Democrats actually supported this legislation all over the nation. 118 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: So Democrats are fighting a battle that is not in 119 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: any way supported even by their own party. And this 120 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: is where I think they are ripe for a counterattack. 121 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: We need to use the word band and attack it 122 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: more aggressively because it isn't actually occurring. The book is 123 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: still out there, anybody can buy, They can get it 124 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: for their kids, they can go rented in a library, 125 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: just not in a school. Right. Well, this would be 126 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: like saying that, you know, if you tried to prevent 127 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: there from being a they don't really exist anymore. But 128 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: as a New Yorker, I remember that they were. It 129 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: was just such a such a blight. It was such 130 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a degradation of the city landscape. You had all these 131 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: like adult film stores all over the place, you know, 132 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: with you know meon Triple X and everything. If the 133 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: argument now you could say whether or not you want 134 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: to ban the that's a whole other conversation. But if 135 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: you say they can't be within a hundred yards of 136 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: a school, yeah, that's not the same thing as saying 137 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: you're banning you know, adult video content. Right. But their 138 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: entire argument here hinges on a lie when it comes 139 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: to the band, which is why they're pushing so hard, 140 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: which is why the media is so you know, collective 141 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: on this issue. They're all working with one voice as 142 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: much as they can, because they're gonna have to convince 143 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: the public of something that is just flatly untrue. This 144 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: isn't a we think this is better for this, They 145 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: think this is better for that. They're lying about what's 146 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: happening so they can stop the real thing that's happening. 147 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: And that's why I think we should also focus in 148 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: a little bit clay, which is the indoctrination of kids 149 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: into what does seem increasingly to be obviously a transgender 150 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: ideology cult. When when you have little kids who are 151 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: being told that they're going to be treated specially that 152 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: they're going to be elevated, small children who do not 153 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: possess the cognitive ability to think through this stuff nor 154 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the life wisdom to understand the long term impact, and 155 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: you have adults who want to be seen as heroes 156 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: by their leftist peers. Why do they want to go 157 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: after young kids so badly? Why do they want to 158 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: have drag Queen Story Hour? Why do they want to 159 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: have these, you know, drag shows for small children because 160 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: they want the indoctrination to start before fully formed minds 161 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: are actually what they're dealing with, and that is where 162 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: people have said enough is enough, including Democrats in Florida, 163 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: by the way, Democrats nation wide, and that whole drag 164 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: queen or drag whatever it is drag shows. I can't 165 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: get out of my mind the way that the reaction is. 166 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: And I think men out there, white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, 167 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: I think if you're a Republican, Democrat, independent, you totally 168 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: get this because if you watch buck all those viral videos, 169 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: it's always moms by and large going to these drag 170 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: shows with their little kids. And I think it makes 171 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: men cringe because a lot of men automatically think, Okay, 172 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: if I took a kid to a strip show like 173 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: this is this is not even borderline level behavior. And 174 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: we talked with I thought Carol Markowitz did a really 175 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: good job of explaining the rational in her mind for 176 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: what's going on. It's that so many of these women 177 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: have been convinced that they have to be all in 178 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: in every degree on the lbgt Q plus whatever it 179 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: is agenda, that they've lost their ability to make rational decisions. Hey, 180 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that the four year old to be 181 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: walking around with dollar bills putting it in the g 182 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: string of a transgender individual, just like they shouldn't be 183 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: doing that if it were a normal strip show, like 184 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: a dad. Dad's out there cringe because a lot of 185 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: men have been to strip shows before, and the idea 186 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: that you would take a kid to one of those 187 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: for a heterosexual woman who was walking around in a 188 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: pasties and a thong is so crazy. Yet for women 189 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: out there these drag shows, it's become commonplace. And to 190 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: your point, it's just such a strange and outlandish direction 191 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: to go that I think a lot of people out 192 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: there are caught totally unaware because it is such a 193 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: radical move well, because I think that the first of all, 194 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: what they've done, what the what the transgender movement Now, 195 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm not speaking about individual speaking about the movement. What 196 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: the movement has done is co opt the very effective 197 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: machinery of the LGBTQ plus activism. Right. There's a lot 198 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: of a lot of money, a lot of organizations, and 199 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: so that's a useful tool for whether you're AOC or 200 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: any other democrat, you like having that on your side. 201 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of funding, a lot of backing, 202 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: their media savvy, but through the process of using that 203 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: entity for this issue, they've convinced a lot of the 204 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Democrat base that this stuff isn't actually crazy that we're 205 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, and so they're caught in this place 206 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: where they're going to lose politically at the national level 207 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: if they keep doing this. So what they're doing is 208 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: lying about what's happening, because the alternative is to say 209 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: things that's going to hurt them nationally or tell their 210 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: left wing base and the activist community, sorry, guys, we 211 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: can't go along with this anymore. And they don't want 212 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to do that. They don't want to lose that political 213 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: advantage in those funding dollars. Yeah, we'll talk about this 214 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: maybe in the second hour. The Track and Field Group 215 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Worldwide has banned trans athletes, and I think one of 216 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: the sort of tip of the spear related issues here 217 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: is trans that as men who decide to identify as 218 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: women being able to be involved in athletics. And it 219 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: feels like buck they're losing that battle, and we'll talk 220 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: about it some in the second hour, but it feels 221 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: like here as well, the agenda has gone as far 222 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: as it can. If you spend any time studying K 223 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: through twelve education in our nation, you know we're in 224 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: more trouble every day. By and large, priorities of our 225 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: school systems are out of whack with far too much 226 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: political correctness.

Welcome Back in Clay Travis Buck 244 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Buck, Sometimes I envy you because you care 245 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: not at all about what happens in sports. I'm up 246 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: in New York City right now in our New York 247 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: City studios, hanging with the crew here. I went to 248 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden last night. I know you went to 249 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: games in the nineties. There obviously an iconic arena to 250 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: be able to watch so many different big events take place. 251 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: And the University of Tennessee. I don't even know if 252 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: we have any FAU fans that are listening right now, 253 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: because FAU is not a monster school. Congratulations if we do. 254 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: I was sitting I traveled all the way to New 255 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: York to watch this game, landed almost immediately went to 256 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: the arena. My team utterly collapsed in the final ten 257 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: minutes of the game, and now I'm in New York City. 258 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to have a game to 259 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: go to on Saturday, and I'm trying to get my 260 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: flights changed. I couldn't sleep last night. I'm forty three 261 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: years old and I'm way too upset about what eighteen 262 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: and nineteen year olds do on the basketball court. And 263 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: I think to myself, as I'm laying in bed, staring 264 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep, I think, at 265 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: some point, I almost want to retire as a sports 266 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: fan because I'm getting too old to care this much 267 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: about things that I can't control. And you don't have 268 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: this problem like you have. Never in your life have 269 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: you ever in your life been unable to sleep at 270 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: night over the outcome of a sporting event that you 271 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: were not involved in yourself. Now, I was gonna say 272 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: when I coach, Yeah right, soccer, I was ready to 273 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: just storm any any battlefield with those kids. I get it. No, 274 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: I do not. If I'm not involved in it. I 275 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: do not care enough to I was always. I always 276 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: sit at these stadiums for the most part, and I 277 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: sort of sit there and I'm just watching and everyone 278 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: else is standing and shouting and yelling, and I know 279 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm the weirdo boy. Yeah right, I get it. And 280 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: my wife makes fun of me all the time about this. 281 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: But you know, we're in the sweet sixteen. Somehow, the 282 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: University of Tennessee has managed to go one in eight 283 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: in Sweet sixteen games that means they have lost eight 284 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: out of nine. And I don't know that anybody else 285 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: out there in America has that level of futility when 286 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: it comes to getting to big games and managing to 287 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: choke in them. And I just questioned myself, like, why 288 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: in the world did I get on an airplane and 289 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: fly up here to watch it in person? Because one thing, 290 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: if you lose a game and your team stinks, and 291 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: you at least get to be at home and you 292 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: can just turn off the television and your life doesn't 293 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: change that much in terms of the amount of effort 294 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: that you made to get there. So anyway, I'm still 295 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: recovering from this. I am up here in New York City. 296 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: I also thought, frankly on the trip buck, I was 297 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: kind of contemplating that Trump might get indicted, And we're 298 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that here in a few minutes about 299 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: what the latest is on the indictment race. But I 300 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: will say, as as we move into the weekend, I 301 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: think every day that passes without Trump getting indicted shifts 302 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: all of the pressure onto Alvin Bragg, the New York 303 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: City DA, and I think there are a lot of 304 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: behind the scenes pressures on him from people who do 305 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: not want this, these charges to come down. And I 306 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: wonder if he's going to have the stones to actually 307 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: follow through and bring these charges, because it would have 308 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: been better for him, almost buck if he gets the 309 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: charges filed before any of the discussion starts about whether 310 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: they should happen. You know, you have to think that 311 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: a part of this is do they want to send 312 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: the message? Does Bragg want to send the message that, 313 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: even on something so flimsy as this, we will go 314 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: after you. Yeah, that sort of this sends its own message, right, 315 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the possibility as well, We'll get you 316 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: on something that no serious person who has even the 317 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: faintest familiarity with the law thinks should be charged. That 318 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: sends its own kind of message. So I don't know 319 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: if that, you know, is where they're going with this. 320 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: You know, I enjoy going to the gun range with 321 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: my brothers down here in South Florida.

You know 341 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: this that they they think that it's just a matter 342 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: of time before number forty five President Trump gets indicted 343 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: and imprisoned, or at least spends a day or a 344 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: few hours an afternoon perhaps at the police station, gets fingerprinted. 345 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: The mug shot more than any other that the Libs 346 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: wish to wish to see. And I think this, I 347 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: don't even think they would disagree with this. There's one 348 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: person they want to see in handcuffs on the planet. 349 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: Actually claim want to put this ste most libs. Donald 350 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: Trump gets handcuffed, taken down to one police plaza and 351 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, goes through the humiliation of being fingerprinted, etc. 352 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: Or Vladimir Putin turned over to the international criminals. Oh, 353 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: it's not even close. It's not even close. I mean 354 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: they don't care. I mean they might. They might get 355 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: on you know, Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or whatever 356 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: and talk about how much they hate Putin and how 357 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: he's the modern day Hitler and if we don't stop 358 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: him now in Ukraine, he's gonna invade Poland next or 359 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna go into Belarus or whatever it is. They 360 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: don't actually believe that, right, Like that's just kind of 361 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: like left wing social justice warrior talking points. That is 362 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt. I think the case 363 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: they want desperately Trump in handcuffs, Trump facing the possibility 364 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: of having to be fingerprinted, and all of those aspects. 365 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: That's what they desperately are after more than anything else. 366 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: And so now the question I have is is it 367 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: gonna be satisfying enough If he's just getting his picture take, 368 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: He's not going to prison, is right? So this is 369 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: why well, first first off, just for like memory lane, 370 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: and to put this in context before we get into 371 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: the satisfaction of this is almost like a parking ticket. 372 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: I mean this, I know they're saying it's a colony. 373 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: The whole thing is so absurd it would not survive appeal. 374 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: And honestly, the New York state judicial system would not 375 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: survive this if it didn't get overturned on appeal because 376 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: people realize, Okay, so New York is now it's a 377 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: kangaroo court, it's absurd, it's show trials. You can't trust it. 378 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: But here's seven years just that we're gonna recall everybody. Oh, 379 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: the walls, the walls around Trump are closing in. Play it. 380 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: The walls feel like they are closing in. But as 381 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: the walls closing around the president, Donald Trump feels the 382 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: walls closing in the thing. This is a guy who 383 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: feels like the walls are closing in, The walls are 384 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: closing in on him. Because the walls are closing in, 385 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: the walls are closing in on the president. Are the 386 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: walls closing in? The walls are closing in on the presidency. 387 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: It's the polical walls closing in on him. There's a 388 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: president that fills the walls closing in. The walls are 389 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: closing in on Donald Trump. I think the walls are 390 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: finally closing in the walls, the walls, the walls, walls 391 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: and walls, walls, walls are closed, closing end closing, closing 392 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: and closing in us closing. The walls are closing in 393 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: on President Donald Trump. I think at this point the 394 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: walls are spinning. Oh that's amazing, that's so good. Did 395 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: anyone in the lip media not say that over and 396 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: over again? Or by the way, that was over the 397 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: span those sound bites of seven years. So think back 398 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: to there were people saying the walls were closing in 399 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen in that cliff, right, the walls are. 400 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: But but Clay, I know we're all buried in the 401 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: rubble of their cliches. Fine, but beyond that, to your point, Ah, 402 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: is this enough? I think Julie Kelly said yesterday was 403 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: really interesting about once You because again remember and we 404 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: mentioned Annie McCarthy had this analysis of once You indict 405 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: a former president. It feels like maybe other indictments not 406 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: that big a deal. And if they can, if they 407 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: get the Proud Boys or you know whoever this I 408 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: think it's the Proud Boys, right that are specifically incitement 409 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: or insurrection. They're they're being charged with insurrection, specifically that 410 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: if they want to tie that to Donald Trump. What 411 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: happens If Marik Garland says in the interests of justice, 412 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: I have no choice but to charge Donald J. Trump 413 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: with famenting insurrection intellection years. I don't think they can 414 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: do it, and I don't think this is enough to 415 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: make them sated. I do wonder this buck what if 416 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had said, I'm seventy eight years old. As 417 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: much as I think the country needs saving, I'm going 418 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: to pass the baton to a younger generation and aggressively 419 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: campaign for whoever is the nominee of the Republican Party. 420 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: Would Democrats still be trying to charge him with crimes. 421 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes, because they are so 422 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: desperate to get that shot of him walking around in 423 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: handcuffs or getting fingerprinted. And by the way, there's no 424 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: guarantee that they're going to require him to put on 425 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: handcuff or anything else. And I think Trump would probably 426 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: smile in his mug shot right just to Trump, and 427 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: then he would immediately I'm betting he would immediately put 428 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: that smiling mug shot on coffee mugs, on T shirts 429 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: and people would buy it and wear it, and it 430 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: would work to his benefit. And I think that's the 431 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: big question here. And I saw even people like, I 432 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the headlines. I read this, 433 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: I was like, it seems like an accurate Chris Rock, 434 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: who is not a political commentator, necessarily just had the 435 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: comedy special said, the Democrats not realize what they're doing here. 436 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: They are playing completely into Trump by charging him with crimes. Here, 437 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: the way to get Trump is to ignore him, which 438 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: is why I wonder, like who the puppet master might be. 439 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: But charging Trump with crimes buck seems like a desperate 440 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: ploy to guarantee that he is the Republican nominee. If 441 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: we were talking about somebody trying to play high level chess, 442 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: pulling the strings the puppet master, as it were, it 443 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: feels like the only play here is this is a 444 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: ploy for Democrats to guarantee they get to go against him. 445 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: I'd be very curious because with this audience, we know 446 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: we have people that feel very passionately already about what 447 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: they think the best pathway for the Republican Party and 448 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: for the country is for twenty twenty four. For anyone 449 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: who is already decided that they want to vote for 450 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: Trump in the primary, and of course anyone you vote 451 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: from the primary voting for in the general, right, But 452 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: if anyone who's already decided on that, do they think 453 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: or rather, do they agree with the pretty widespread feeling 454 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: that's out there right now that you hear from a 455 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: lot of different commentators that the Democrats want Trump, but 456 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: they're feeling about that is and they're wrong, meaning sure 457 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: they want Trump, the Democrats bide in the machine wants 458 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: to run against Trump, but this time will be different, 459 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: this time Trump And without getting into how it would 460 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: be different, right, I'm just saying, you know, it's Trump 461 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: going to be president in twenty twenty four, even though 462 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: Democrats want them. So I'd be curious to hear from 463 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: anybody who has a strong opinion in this audience on that, 464 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: because I haven't heard a lot of people make the 465 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: argument that Democrats do not want it to be Trump 466 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: correct include I haven't even heard Trump. You know, the 467 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: most diehard Trump supporters make that argument. So I'm curious 468 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: what the thinking is there. And I also think that 469 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: Clay the recognition among the Democrats right now that are 470 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: involved in this possible process. Remember they're multiple possible prosecutions, 471 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 1: that's part Yeah, you know, Georgia could theoretically come up 472 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: with something first for you know, the election interference stuff 473 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: with their with their recount demands, etc. So we could 474 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: see them make I think these are less legal considerations 475 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: for the people making the decision than they are political 476 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: considerations at this point. I think that's what the hold 477 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: up is. Yeah, And I think to your point, Democrats 478 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: would panic, insanely panic if they found out that they 479 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: weren't running against Trump and Biden was their guy. And 480 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, in particular, to me, 481 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: the strongest possible argument against Biden is his age. If 482 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: you have to set back and you're saying, why should 483 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden office? Is I think for independence for people 484 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: out there that are persuadable. The single greatest attack of Biden, 485 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: Trump at seventy eight cancels that out right now you 486 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: can say Trump is far more candid, far more in control, 487 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have dementia. All those things are true. But if 488 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: you had Rhnda Santis, Nicky Hailey, Tim Scott, somebody of 489 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: a truly different generation on the stage with Biden in 490 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: a debate, I think it would be impossible not to 491 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: see that difference in intellectual capacity. I was just watching, 492 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, I have some of the cable channels on 493 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: mute here in the studio, and I remember watching it 494 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: yesterday after the show and there was some Biden stuff. 495 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of Biden stuff on TV, obviously, but 496 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: just watching him and thinking there's this is really this 497 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: is grotesque. Yeah, I mean this, this situation of this 498 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: man is I mean, they've gone through extreme length and 499 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't look, I don't criticize people's appearance, 500 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: and because you know, I know they could all criticize mind, 501 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: but just from a health and vitality perspective, they're doing 502 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: everything they can to this guy's face, meaning, you know, 503 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: all kinds of manipulation and stuff so that people just 504 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: don't realize that this guy is he is physically and 505 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: mentally ancient. It's not just the number, it's the wear 506 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: and tear in his body, and that's why they know 507 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: there's this this puffiness in this mask and this the 508 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: whole thing. It's it's wrong, Clay, There's something really dishonest 509 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: about just the whole presentation of Biden is up for 510 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: this week. You look at him, you go, this guy, 511 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: he's not up for this at all. He could barely walk. 512 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean I and I've said this before on the show, 513 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: but when every time he goes to get on the 514 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: military helicopter on the grounds of the White House and 515 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: you watch him walk across the lawn, I expect for 516 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: him to fall. And I think it's something Ay, just 517 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: because he barely gets his feet off the ground. He shuffles. 518 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: It's almost like he's sleepwalking. It's just it's a it's 519 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: frankly unacceptable, and we've already seen it with John Fetterman. 520 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: They just don't care. They don't care. They'll do whatever 521 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: it takes. They don't care. Eight hundred two eight two 522 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: two eight eight two, Especially if you're a Trump supporter. 523 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: Do you we're all Trump supporters, meaning we voted for him, 524 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: But if you think it's got to be Trump for 525 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: twenty four, do you think that the Democrats want Trump 526 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: or do you disagree with that analysis? Very curious to 527 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: hear from anybody who's got to take on that one, 528 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: A strong take on that one. Look, there's a number 529 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: of a stat that doesn't sit well with me at all. 530 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: It's upsetting. Nearly one in five pregnancies in America today 531 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: will end an abortion. That's due in part to the 532 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: availability of what's known as the abortion pill, which accounts 533 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: for over fifty percent of all abortions. When it comes 534 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: to protecting unborn children, the Preborn Network of Clinics has 535 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: a stat that's much more rewarding to hear. Their team 536 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: has rescued over two hundred thousand babies lives by loving 537 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: mothers with unplanned pregnancies and introducing them to the precious 538 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: life growing inside them through an ultrasound. Because once that 539 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: mother hears the heartbeat, the majority of the time she 540 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: will choose life. Without the ultrasound, the odds are not 541 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: in favor of life. The ultrasound is a game changer. 542 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: Preborn relies on tax deductible donations. One ultrasound is just 543 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars. Every taxeductible donation, big or small, helps 544 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: to save the unborn Preborn receives no government funding, but 545 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: rather it depends on the pro life community to accomplish 546 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: their mission. For just twenty eight dollars, you can help 547 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: using your cell phone dial pound two fifty and say 548 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero, say baby. 549 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: Or go to preborn dot com slash buck. That's preborn 550 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: dot com.

We got some good calls 554 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: given this is Friday, knock out some of these calls. 555 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: We appreciate all your involvement. We come back top of 556 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll talk about de Santis's comments. One 557 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: of the big angles that he's been attacked on is 558 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: is he does he have the persona, does he have 559 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: the does he have the charisma that you would need 560 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: in order to go into Iowa and New Hampshire and 561 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: appeal to people on a one on one basis. And 562 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: we'll discuss that coming up in a moment. But a 563 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: lot of you want to weigh in all over the 564 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: country about what the strategy is behind indicting Trump. And 565 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: let's go to first bridget in Springfield, Missouri. Bridget you 566 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: think you agree with Bucking and myself that this is 567 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: about trying to make Trump the nominee. What do you 568 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: think about the move? I think they are short sighted. 569 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: They think they're gonna win. They think they were dragged 570 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: Biden across the finish line with their media allies and 571 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: with their voting procedures, which we won't go into, but 572 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, they think they can do it again, and 573 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: they have convinced a bunch of women. They think this 574 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: is Democrat talking. They think women are scared of Trump. 575 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: They think they've portrayed him and Sittler leader of an insurrection, 576 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: and they think that they would love to run whoever 577 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: they have against Trump. I think I agree with everything 578 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: Bridgetes just said there. I think women are going to 579 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: decide this election in the suburban moms basically, and I 580 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: think Democrats are making the choice. We believe Biden can 581 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: beat Trump's This is Bridget in Missouri agreeing with Tally 582 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: Rand that it's worse than a crime. Yeah, it's a 583 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: blunder if they indict Trump. So there you go. Now 584 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: on the flip side, Ted, in Cincinnati, I believe we're 585 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: number one in Cincinnati, OHI. I Oh, we appreciate all 586 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: of you listening in the great state of Ohio. You 587 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: think that this is about taking Trump out? If this 588 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: is where I disagree, and I think you disagree too, Buck, 589 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that Democrats are trying to indict Trump 590 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: to take him out. I don't I understand that argument. 591 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: I'll let you make it, Ted, But I think this 592 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: is about weakening Trump and also in terms of the 593 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: general election, but also guaranteeing that he's the nominee. I 594 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: think they're terrified of anybody but Trump. But make your argument, Ted, Okay, 595 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: I got two things. First of all, you don't get 596 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people at a cornfield in Iowa. It alludes 597 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: to a guy that couldn't fill ten circles. Let me 598 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: just say. Let me just say, Ted, though people are 599 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: not voting for Joe Biden. I think that's what a 600 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: lot of people are missing. People are willing to vote 601 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: against Trump. Joe Biden didn't run on I'm Joe Biden. 602 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm the greatest human who's ever lived. He ran on 603 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm not Trump. I love you guys. My theory is, well, 604 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: we love you, take him out. They're trying to take 605 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: him out so he can't beat so we can't run. 606 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 1: They know he wanted twenty twenty and he's gonna win 607 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Wow, this is interesting. So ted 608 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: you believe that they're trying to derail So to the 609 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: previous caller, we were saying that there there's a theory 610 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: out there. Democrats want to fit. They're trying to pick 611 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: their opponent, right. It's like in boxing they want to 612 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: pick a stepping stone fighter. They think they can beat Trump. 613 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: But you're saying, no, this is actually take the Trump 614 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: train and send it off into the woods so it 615 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: never gets to its destination. Am I right on that. 616 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: Don't believe those Thank you for the call. I just disagree. 617 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: I like the passion I do. I like I love 618 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: the passion of our audience in general, buck, especially on 619 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: a Friday, as we roll into the weekend. I believe 620 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: that it is a calculated decision to make Trump the nominee. 621 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: When mar Lago got raided that if they had any 622 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: doubt about how it would play out, everybody immediately rallied 623 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: around Trump. Back in August and made Trump part of 624 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: the story going into twenty twenty two. I think they 625 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: want Trump if we use the example, because I think 626 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: it's so fun. For those of you out there who 627 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: watched Game of Thrones, this is a trial by combat situation. 628 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: And for those of you who didn't watch Game of Thrones, 629 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: the idea was you got to pick your fighter to 630 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: fight to death over whether you were or they were 631 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: in the right. This is basically a duel. I believe 632 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: Democrats have decided that the worst possible option for Republicans 633 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: is Trump, and I think that's it. Biden's the nominee 634 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,479 Speaker 1: because I think Biden again to the age point. They 635 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: know that eighty two year old Joe Biden is an 636 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: incredible mess. They know that Kamala Harris is a mess. 637 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: I think the only Republican they think they can beat 638 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: a Trump, and that's why they're trying to put him 639 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: in into that combat ring. I mean coming back into 640 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: more on this, So if you're on hold, please stay 641 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: with us. You want to call in eight hundred two 642 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: A two two eight A two and coming up, Clay. 643 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: It looks like, first of all, a couple of things 644 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 1: we've had an exchange of fire over there in Syria. 645 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: I mentioned this. We'll get to that later on in 646 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: the program. We lost a US contractor serving alongside our 647 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: military in northeastern Syria. Irani and back proxy of Iran 648 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: militia responsible for that. We've already struck back at them. 649 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: But another little hot spot on the map. Plus Clay, 650 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: there's a change in track and field and trans athlete 651 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: that you're all over. What's going on.
