Speaker 1: York City when all the fireworks, not just the official

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: fireworks joke, but everywhere ever in the air here. We

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: could see it. Everything I saw all across the Tri

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: state area practically, or I should say the New York

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: City and the environs around it, like deep into New Jersey.

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: I was just seeing fireworks everywhere. It was pretty. It

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: was pretty America. I'm just gonna tell you, it was

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: pretty America. I really enjoyed it. I was down We'll

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: talk more about Ashville maybe in the third hour. But

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: I had a great time, great time with Karen her family.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: You were in the Panhandle, right, I'm still down here country. Yeah.

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: It was fabulous. We're on the beach, and from where

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: we are on the beach, we could see Panama City,

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Anama City Beach, Rosemary Beach, Alice Beach, all of this

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: area in the Panhandle. They each had their own fireworks

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: display that you could see if you were down on

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: the beach, all of them. What would it take Clay

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: to get you to if someone offered you a swap

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: for your house double its value, but in Santa Monica

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: in California, would you go for it double the value

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: of your current house? But you have to live in

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Santa Monica, California to leave Nashville. Yes, no, no no, no,

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: no talking about I'm talking about Florida, Florida, the Florida.

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I would not know. I wouldn't I wouldn't take it.

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean I ask because this is what people all

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: across America are looking at right now, kind of in reverse,

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: cheaper housing, better housing for them In the Red States.

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal has a big piece out today that

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: really goes into the numbers. Red States are winning the

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: post pandemic economy. And we've been talking about this all along,

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: of course, states that look at the reality of what

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: we can and can't do against COVID. The truth all

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: along was that basically COVID was just going to rip

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: through the country. And you try to protect seniors, get

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: them the care, you can, get them shots because for them,

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: given higher risk fine shots should be their choice. But

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: shot everything else was a total waste. Everything else was

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: a total and actually worse than a waste. It made

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: lockdowns made everything worse. But now we're seeing the economic

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: reality of this playout. Inflation, of course very high because

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: of all the just unprecedented spending that was going on,

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: but at a state to state level, the pandemic, as

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: the Journal says here, has changed the geography of the

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: American economy. Short version of this, we should dive into

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: this clay because now we're seeing the emergence and put

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: aside presidential aspirations for a second, the emergence of two

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: state leader titans in their respective camps. I know, people say,

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: don't call Gavin Newsom a titan, all these a slimy,

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: disingenuous titan, but he's a big deal. In Democrats circles,

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: we've got Rohn de Santis. You know, it's like, who's

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: your champion? Rohn de santists the Republican in Florida Gavin

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Newsom in California. Will dive into this in a second,

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: because Newsom is trying to pick a fight, you know,

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: unlike Brook on vacation Nashville. I might even trying to

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: pick a fight Newsom is, and we'll get there. Newsom

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: is trying to pick a fight with Ron de Santists.

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: But here's the basic numbers. Class wanted to you know,

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: here here because you're you know, you're a long time

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: you're born and raised national guy, and you're a red

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: state guy through and through. So I've witnessed this transformation.

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: From the perspective of a state that has hemorrhage people,

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: You've you've witnessed the opposite effect. Guess what, everybody, The

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: three states that have lost the most people are anyone,

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I guess pretty much some of the most democratic states

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: and really the Democrats stronghold states New York, Illinois, California, yep.

71
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: The states that have gotten the most residents are drum roll, Florida, Texas,

72
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: we love Texas, and North Carolina, where it was just

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: over this past weekend, you've had forty six million people

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: move in the period of the pandemic through February of

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Place started at the beginning of the

76
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: had forty six million people have moved. And what we're

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: seeing is that this is not a temporary phenomenon. This

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: is a change in where people want to live, raise

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: their families, and how they want to be governed. Buck

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: forty six million, let's put that in context. Three hundred

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: and thirty ish million people who live in the United States.

82
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about roughly fifteen percent of Americans have relocated

83
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: since COVID started, and overwhelmingly they've moved to red states.

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: I had someone really smart in the financial industry text

85
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: me the other day and he said, I don't see

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: how we're not moving towards two different countries. Not somebody

87
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: who's like a crazy I'm trying to draw attention to

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: myself outlandish speaker. Someone privately texted me and said, I

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: feel like we're almost to the point now, And I

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: think that forty six million is a part of this

91
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: where if you live in a blue state, you have

92
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: to just say, piece out, I'm moving to a red

93
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: state and flip side. If you're a super blue person

94
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: and you find yourself living in a red state, peace out,

95
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm moving to Red is getting redder and blue is

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: getting bluer in virtually every political context. And how does

97
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: that play itself out is such an incredibly difficult question

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: to I just wish I had taken out I wish

99
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I had borrowed money from distant relatives to like buy

100
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: real estate in Nashville and different you know, San Antonio

101
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: and places like, you know, ten years ago, because my gosh,

102
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: it has just been it has been a t When

103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I went away to college and I told people I

104
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: went away to college in washingtonc. It was all East

105
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Coast kids who went there. When I told people I

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: was from Tennessee, they were like, do you have running

107
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: water there? This is like two thousand, right, late nineties.

108
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: It was as if I lived in a cultural backwater.

109
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Did you hide your banjo from them? At least hide

110
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: the banjo? I had to be like, man, these moving

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: stairs are unbelievable. I'd never seen an escalator before, you know. Yeah,

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: so I now. When I started out kick in two eleven,

113
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: everybody told me, hey, if you're going to run a

114
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: media company, you have to move to New York in LA.

115
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Now everybody is moving to where I live in Tennessee.

116
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: And you look around Nashville. The Daily Wire is there,

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: Parlor is there, every media company. It feels like Iheart's

118
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: got one of their main studios, our bosses right downtown

119
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Everybody it feels like is moving to Florida, Texas, Tennessee.

120
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: The places they all told us, Hey, you can't live

121
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: there and make a living in media, those are places

122
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: that could rely on This goes to the heart I

123
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: think of what we're seeing. If there was a time

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: when if you wanted to have certain kinds of jobs

125
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: or work for certain companies, you had to be there.

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Now that's there's still some truth to it. The pandemic

127
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: and remote work hasn't entirely changed it. But this Wall

128
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Street Journal piece does go into how thirty percent of

129
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: workers they surveyed are going to be in some kind

130
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: of a hybrid model, which certainly means much bigger. Commute

131
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: is way more doable. Right, if you're going to go

132
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: into work once or twice a week, maybe you drive

133
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: an hour and a half two hours both ways, you

134
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: don't really care if you have two or three days

135
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: where you're not commuting at all. But even beyond that, now,

136
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: if you can work remotely for some of the entertainment industry,

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: for investment, banking and financial services, for media, news media,

138
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean all these things, it changes people's concepts of where.

139
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: And that's New York City used to basically have this

140
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: captive audience of do you want to work at the

141
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: most elite finance institutions? Do you want had to be

142
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: in New York City, right, you had to be here.

143
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: You want to work at Goldman Sacks. It wasn't like,

144
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm gonna work remote from Fiji and you know,

145
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: work for Golden Now these things are changing, but so

146
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big part of it. California is

147
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: a place that I think is just going to continue

148
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: to hemorrhage residence. They've lost more residence than any other

149
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: individual state. Gavin Newsom is annoyed about this and living

150
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and I think a delusion. You remember that thing Clay

151
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: when he was like, what's going on here? When they

152
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: had all the trains with the trash everywhere from the

153
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: thefts going on as if he were surprised, and he

154
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: showed up with his hands on his hips. This is outrageous.

155
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Who's in charge here? It's like you're in charge. Jacks

156
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: created this. But but here we go we have Gavin

157
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: Newsom picking a fight with our buddy Ronnie Dee down

158
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: in Florida, the governor of Florida. Play clip fourteen. It's

159
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: independent stay. So let's talk about what's going on in America. Freedom.

160
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: It's under attack in your state every bubba and leaders.

161
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: They're banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech

162
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: and classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. I urge all

163
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: of you living in Florida to join the fight or

164
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: join us in California. But we still believe in freedom,

165
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and

166
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: the freedom to love. Don't let them take your freedom.

167
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much here. There's no one making

168
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: that move. California is the most anti freedom authoritarian state

169
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: in the entire country. Start with that. California is where

170
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: your restaurant could shut down and you could go bankrupt

171
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: because you couldn't use the outdoor dining you had set

172
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: up by their own rules when they change their minds.

173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: But if you were doing craft services for a major

174
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: movie like that's important, So that's allowed to continue. With

175
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: hundreds of people gathered together, eating and being in Lune.

176
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: It is such a ridiculous pitch. But look, I mean,

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean you could probably run this in Asheville and

178
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: get some of the blue haired uh you know what's

179
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of I'd never what is this when

180
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: they when people put the thing, it's like an big

181
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: ear ring hoop. No, it's not a it's it's a

182
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: thing that goes kind of in the ear lobe. Say yeah, right,

183
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what I don't know what that's called.

184
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of thought in Asheville. Anyway, they

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: may move to California. As the point, the cluelessness here.

186
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: California filled in skate parks with sand to keep kids

187
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: from being able to skateboard. They arrested a paddle boarder

188
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ocean. The cluelessness. And I'm

189
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: down in Florida, so watching this, I think it's also

190
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: worth pointing out buck In addition to those forty six

191
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: million people who moved, who's moving. The people who are

192
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: leaving New York, Illinois, and California are overwhelmingly the highest

193
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: earners because they're more likely to be able to work remotely.

194
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: Right because if you work in a bar, let's say,

195
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: it's not like your job can suddenly go remote, which

196
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: is why lockdowns overwhelmingly hurt people who need to live

197
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck the most. But for many people it

198
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: was effectively an experiment. Hey maybe I don't need to

199
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: be in Chicago anymore. Hey maybe I don't need to

200
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: be in New York City or LA. I can buy

201
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: a cheaper house in a state with no state income tax,

202
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: which is huge sixteen percent difference just an income in

203
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: California versus Florida. I mean, Gavin Newsom is delusional because

204
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: by every metric, if you were align this up. Do

205
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: you ever play the Street Fighter video games? Wasn't that amazing? Yeah?

206
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: Finish you? I was. I was like Kyle, the guy

207
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: with like the blonde, not like a mohawk. He was

208
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: like a marine or something. Anyway. Street Fighter for those

209
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: you don't know, it was a video game school. Always

210
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: think of Immortal Kombat. When I said finish him. That

211
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: was Mortal Kombat. If we had Decidus on one side

212
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom on the other of a Street Fighter

213
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: video game, it would not be a close contest. Friends,

214
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: There'd be lots of Hurricane kicks and Gavin Newsom would

215
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: be down for the count. You look at the actual data. Economically,

216
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Florida is about to have a record budget surplus. Florida

217
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: has so much money coming into the state magically without

218
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: a state income tax everybody that they're setting up huge

219
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: rainy day funds to protect state institutions and state governance agencies,

220
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: et cetera, basically schools, etc. Etc. So that they're good

221
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: to go even if there is a cyclical downtown turn

222
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: for Florida in the future. California is hemorrhaging people. Okay,

223
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: they're losing, so we've already run the experiment. California is

224
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: losing on this when Florida has won, and it just

225
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: goes to show you there it's like they're living in

226
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: a fantasy land. They're living in La La land out

227
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: in La Well. Yes, and this is also perfect example.

228
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: If truly California was doing better than Florida, markets would

229
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: reflect that everybody would be moving to California, which people did.

230
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: California game population. I believe I'm in this buck every

231
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: year from eighteen fifty look it up. I believe they

232
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: became a state in California in eighteen fifty all the

233
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: way to twenty twenty, So two hundred was that two

234
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty years? That are one hundred and seventy

235
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: years or one hundred and seventy I think where they

236
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: only gained population and they started losing in twenty twenty,

237
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of those people are moving to Florida.

238
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: They're voting with their feet by moving to Florida, which

239
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: is why Florida is now the capital of the Republican Party.

240
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: California is becoming more blue, and Gavin Newsom versus Rond

241
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: De Santis not a crazy idea for what twenty twenty

242
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: fourth presidential election could end up being. It's called the plug,

243
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: this form of jewelry that I've never heard in the ear,

244
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the ear lope thing, earplug or ear spoil. I had

245
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: to look this up. Yes, it is common in downtown Nashville.

246
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: I was I was unfamiliar with this. Yeah, I've seen it.

247
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: I had no idea what it was called. I'm not

248
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: going to be adding earplug to my fashion or twire

249
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: anytime soon. A lot of you got chronic pain, kind

250
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: of pain that holds you back from doing the things

251
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: you want. Often this is just a part of getting

252
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: older or over exertion. But you don't have to live

253
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: with that pain because there's a great product called relief

254
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: Factor out there, perfected over fifteen years of scientific research.

Speaker 1: of the summer, but to save money. Guess what, because

264
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: of high gas prices. He's doing five miles a day

265
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: when his knees started to ache, and after hearing about

266
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: relief Factor, he gave it a try and boom. Not

267
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,080

277
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. A lot of you

278
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: are wanting to weigh in. Let's take a couple of

279
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: these calls, Buck while we can here still in our

280
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: big discussion, we were talking about why are shootings becoming

281
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: more common? In terms of mass shootings. I don't think

282
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: there's any one answer, but there's lots of hypotheses. Let

283
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: me see if I can hit a bunch of you

284
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: out there, Kevin and conquered New Hampshire. Kevin, what do

285
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: you think? Hi? Yeah, actually I'm in Nashville, New Hampshire

286
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: State senator here in actually I'm a third term I'm

287
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: actually a co sponsor of concealed carry here in New

288
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Hampshire for you. Yeah, and you know, New Hampshire is

289
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: a very very safe place. We don't have, you know,

290
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: mass shootings. You know, like Illinois, you know you have

291
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: a gun crime going nuts, and they have some of

292
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the strictest un gun laws you know, in the country.

293
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: So you know, my concern is is that no matter

294
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: what you try to do, you try to legislate, it's

295
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: not going to change the hearts of individuals. What's causing

296
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: these people to break down. These these young folks just

297
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: losing perspective on the value of life. And I really

298
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: believe that it's you know, years ago, when I was

299
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: a kid, we used to watch commercials in there. There

300
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: would be a Marble man or Wins then tastes good

301
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: like a cigarette shop, stuff like that. They banned all that.

302
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: Why because it influenced children and they didn't want that

303
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: to be a risk for future generations. So what they

304
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: did they banned it. So moving forward to the nineties,

305
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: as you guys were saying earlier in up till now,

306
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: what's been going on? Well, you have catuitous violence everywhere.

307
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: You know, you can't look on Netflix, you can't look

308
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: on Hulu. You to be anywhere without the glorification of

309
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: just senseless murder, you know, John Wick or whatever, anything

310
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: like that. It's just bang bang bang bang bang, and

311
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: there's no consequence. And this is filling the minds of kids.

312
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: So if a commercial causes a child to want to

313
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: smoke a cigarette and it is a health risk, what

314
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: are these movies in the these video games doing to

315
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: their minds? Kevin, thanks for calling it from New Hampshire.

316
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Interesting point, Buck, You and I would have grown up though,

317
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: in the eighties with wildly violent movies and we didn't

318
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: have those shootings. I grew up with those movies all

319
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. What's July going to look like? With

320
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: regards to our financial markets, my friends, the first six

321
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: months have seen the biggest decreases percentage wise of the

322
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: past fifty years. Pretty much every index, every commodity, even

323
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: real estate is seeing decreases in value. Having a plan

324
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,399

326
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: withstood the evils of a declining market set of markets

327
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: better than any other possible investment. When I buy real gold,

336
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: into the Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton Show. You know what, Clay,

337
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: I gotta talk about is now, actually we gotta get Oh,

338
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold this a little bit. We're talking about

339
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: buying the numbers. We'll get to that. Because I didn't

340
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: even see this. I didn't realize local newspapers in North

341
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: Carolina we're picking this one up. So let me just

342
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: set the scene for everybody, right, let me just tell them.

343
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: Tell the folks what's what's going on and why all

344
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: of a sudden this was trending nash. A lot of

345
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: you aren't on Twitter, but when something trends nashally on Twitter,

346
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, it gets a lot of a media attention.

347
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: There were writers for The New York Times weighing in

348
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: on this one. There were random fitness influencers, craft beer places.

349
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I've been told by a longtime listener, Clay,

350
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: it's called a gauge in your ear. I just learned this.

351
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: I did not know what that was. You're right. They

352
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: are very common now with the blue hair community. Um,

353
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: but not old people, by the way, Yes, no, we

354
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: mean people that dye their hair electric blue, not people

355
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: that are older. M ww NCAM is our Asheville affiliate

356
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: by the way. So if you're listening in, you want

357
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: to know why there was all this potential of the weekend.

358
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: So this let me just tell you. This is what happened,

359
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: so you all know. And Clay sent me this has

360
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: been picked up by these different newspapers there. First of all,

361
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: every newspaper in North Carolina. First of all, yeah, apparently

362
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: every newspaper in North Carolina. National radio host sneers at

363
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: people in Asheville, and it set off a war on Twitter.

364
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: Was the Charlotte Observer here, I didn't sneer at the

365
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: people of Ashville. That is actually, that's just a lie,

366
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: that's not even true. Yes, I mean I obviously chose

367
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: to go there on vacation. I'm looking forward to enjoy

368
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: my time there. All I wrote that started this huge war,

369
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: okay on Twitter online was higher percentage of mask wearers

370
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: in Asheville, North Carolina then back in Manhattan. What is

371
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: going on here? That is it? I didn't say everyone

372
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: here Saturday morning, Saturday, around lunchtime, maybe eleven am noon,

373
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: and it just completely took off. All the people freaked out.

374
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: One one fellow who sort of looks like Moby on steroids. Um,

375
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find his name. He's a fitness influencer

376
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: who actually decided to tell me what his deadlift was.

377
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find this because this is. This is If

378
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: you want a window into the left wing mind, you've

379
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: got way to I'm gonna track this with docuse it's

380
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: really where did it go? Darn well? You track that down.

381
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: I'll explain for wait, wait, wait, go here here I

382
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: found it, mister Brad Stollberg. Again, Like I said, if

383
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: if Moby were taking a lot of HGH, he would

384
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: look somewhat like Not that I'm saying this gentleman takes anything.

385
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's like resembles Moby, but much more jacked.

386
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: Hi buck, Welcome to Asheville. COVID rates are pretty high, really,

387
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: and for many people, wearing a mask isn't all that hard.

388
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: I deadlift four hundred and fifty pounds, parent a rowdy

389
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: young kid, train, write books and so on. I don't

390
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: want to get sick, and wearing a mask is the

391
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. Four thousand likes from the lib

392
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: community on that one, and this is and any road

393
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Ka ninety five masks are pretty effective. No, actually also

394
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: not true. So I just pop one on when I

395
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: go inside stores and the like. I've had no issue

396
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: with the practice, So my guess is that is what

397
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: you are seeing. And then he went on to say

398
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: a bunch of other sort of snarky things about me

399
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: to his lib audience friends. Let me just say, to

400
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: mister Stallberg, I would suggest you read more and lift less,

401
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: because even the New York Times, as we have had

402
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: them on. We've had a New York Times writer on

403
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: the show, David's Wise or New York Magazine rather, but

404
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: New York Times has written about this too, So either

405
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: one actually works. Mask mandates have done nothing. It's not

406
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: that they haven't done a lot, They've actually completely failed

407
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to show any efficacy anywhere in the country. And as

408
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: for why I care, when I walk into a place

409
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: in the middle of July and it's eighty degrees outside

410
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: and there are staff members and it was all over

411
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: downtown and I'm from Manhattan, so I'm used to seeing

412
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: mask maniacs. Clay sorry, as you know, I'm very fired off.

413
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: And they have end ninety five masks on. There are

414
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: children that I saw with n ninety five masks on.

415
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: But I'm not even talking about that that's child abuse.

416
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Though there are people that work in these stores who

417
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: have no choice, no one asks them, and there are

418
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: masks required signs outside. Why is Bernie Sanders voting left

419
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: wing lunacy tied to ND ninety five mask wearing? If

420
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: it's about science, that is the question that I posed

421
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: to these people. This is also funny to me on

422
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: many different levels. Let me start here. Has anyone ever

423
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: posted their deadlift ability and it made you trust their

424
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: opinion on something other than deadlifting? More so, if I

425
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: was like, I'm Clay Travis, a bitch press two twenty five,

426
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and I believe that Matt Squaring is important, would you

427
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, I didn't trust his opinion on the mask,

428
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: but when he told me what he bingched, then suddenly

429
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, this dude knows what he's talking about. I

430
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: would just ask you, is your deadlift ever been connected

431
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: in any way to a position where you would trust

432
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: someone more? Like I deadlift for fifty and I think

433
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: that we should build the wall or not build the wall.

434
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: Would you be like, well, I didn't trust this guy's

435
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: opinion on the wall, but then he told me what

436
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: he deadlifted, and now I'm all in. So that to

437
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: me is funny. Like, regardless of who you are, what

438
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: your political opinion is, if you put your deadlift in

439
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: your political opinion, anyone who trust you more is a

440
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: total imbecile. I'm gonna tell mister Stallberg when he when

441
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: he can deadlift five fifty, then you want to hear

442
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: his science tasts, Then I want to hear the science

443
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: takes and so so. But I dealt with and this

444
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: is what drove me so insane, by the way I was.

445
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I was honestly surprised. I wasn't there all these people. Look,

446
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: why do you go somewhere to start a fight. I'm

447
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: in New York City, man, Like I see the mask

448
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. It was jarring how many people

449
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: and it was all in the stores, mostly people on

450
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: the streets a little bit too. And it wasn't just

451
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: that they were the employees. There were masks And I

452
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: took photos because they always say you're lying. I actually

453
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: have photo evidence of this. Masks required for stores still

454
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: and this is a mental illness. Okay, Yeah, that's what

455
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I care. Because these people need to stop being crazy.

456
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: And the reason they need to stop being crazy is

457
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: that this isn't about and these are the same. This

458
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: is the same mentality we all had to mask up

459
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: on planes. Remember when they got were to the plane

460
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: mask mandate? Does anyone care anymore? Know? Because it's for

461
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: people that are emotionally unwell. Okay, they made us do this,

462
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: and they want And this is what I'm telling everybody

463
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: across the country. Biden is still president, folks, even for

464
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: two years. They want to do this again. They have

465
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: not given up. They do not admit that they are wrong.

466
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: They are abusing children by making them wear masks. They

467
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: are mandating the vaccine for small kids in New York City.

468
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: This fight is not over. And so I don't like

469
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: this argument of oh, why do you care so much?

470
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Because they want to make all of us do it

471
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: just when they can get the political power to do it.

472
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, I actually am a nice guy, Clay.

473
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: I want to free their faces. I want them to

474
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: breathe as human beings have breathed for all of human history.

475
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: I want them to enjoy the nice, patrully smelling air

476
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: in downtown Asheville, like. I don't want them to have

477
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: to feel this way anymore. I'm actually on their side.

478
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: They just don't know it. What I also thought was funny.

479
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: In addition to your deadlifter, somebody at a comic bookstore

480
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: came after me because I just pointed out I didn't

481
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: even know this was trending yet. I was on the

482
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: beach with my kids, like, I'm having a great time

483
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: and I saw your tweet. I'm checking to see what

484
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: the news was, and I saw your tweet and I

485
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: just responded, Asheville's like a great city basically, but they've

486
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: also gone gotten taken over by the woke. They voted

487
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: for reparations as well. And the Asheville Comic book store

488
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: came after me. And the comic bookstore, which was perfect,

489
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: had the Ukraine flag in it. And you know, as

490
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: if you're like going around shopping, You're like, I don't

491
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: know where I'm gonna get the newest Marvel, the newest

492
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: Marvel comic book. Have you ever not been awful? Please

493
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: don't come here, we don't want you. That was from

494
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: Asheville Comics, which had the Ukraine flag in it. But Buck,

495
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: I've been in this situation that Kathy Griffin waiting this one.

496
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that till now. This is gone

497
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: this is gone the thermonuclear viral clays. Well, what I'm

498
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: pictured you is you're on vacation. It's July fourth. You

499
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: dash off what you think is a relatively innocuous that's

500
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: always sharing. To me, I say, sharing your impressions. You're

501
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: there with your girlfriend and her family. This reminds me

502
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: of my situation once before, when I was like to

503
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: my wife, I only have to do one more interview.

504
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: It's Friday. I'm gonna do this CNN hit and then

505
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take the kids out for pizza and we're

506
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: just gonna chill for the weekend. It's been a long week.

507
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: We've been working hard, and I said I believe in

508
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: the First Amendment in boobs, and it just blew up

509
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: for multi days and my wife was like, yeah, I

510
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: guess they're not going out for pizza now. And I'm like, yeah,

511
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm picturing you just dashing off what you think is

512
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: an innocuous tweet. We got the biggest radio audience in

513
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: the country. You're on Fox News all the time too,

514
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: sharing all sorts of opinions, and suddenly you're fighting a

515
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: battle with everybody in the state of North Carolina over masks.

516
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: And you totally never anticipated it would blow up like

517
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: it did. No earthly idea. I talk about so much

518
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: more controversial stuff, and yet this went completely just went

519
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: completely nuts over the weekend. But I see so many

520
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: of the arguments that are being made and it's fascinating.

521
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorites. And people are very and by

522
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not singling individuals, don't even I'm talking

523
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: about blue checks. People that are verified, have an audience

524
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: and platform themselves or have a platform as part of

525
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: their living. They're so dumb. Yes, I mean so many

526
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: of them are so deeply stupid, and people listen to them.

527
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, for example, they keep saying, you know

528
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: that this I made some anti freedom comment. I'm not

529
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the one that wants people wrestled on planes and you know,

530
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: arrested in front of their family members for not masking

531
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: up or whatever. I'm just saying, hey, guys, stop being morons.

532
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: Learn to read. They don't work, okay. And for the

533
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: people that say, oh, ninety five is really effective for

534
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: the millionth time, if you wear a sealed and ninety

535
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: five mask for one hundred percent of the time, you

536
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: could possibly be exposed to people who have COVID. Yes,

537
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: you will probably reduce your risk of COVID the moment

538
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: that you decide, Oh it's bar night and I'm not

539
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna wear the mask. You're getting COVID just like the

540
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: rest of us. All right, so this it's all virtue signal.

541
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean New York Times, writers Way and

542
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin, They're all pilot on the Buster. My girlfriend's

543
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: family lives in Asheville. Okay, I'm there because I'm trying

544
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: to make friends with the town of Asheville. I don't

545
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: hate Ashville at all. I thought it was lovely. You're

546
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: just trending everywhere on vacation. It is a perfect example

547
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: of you never know when something is. This reminds me

548
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: of when you blew up over the Simone Biles comments

549
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: early in our tenure, like you're everywhere because of your

550
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: opinion about Simone Biles. I made it. I made a

551
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: joke about how milk should just mean cow milk and

552
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: not the other milks. Those should be called like juice

553
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: of the almond or whatever, and I got dragged for

554
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: four days on I'm like, what is to look? Sorry,

555
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: the free market's given you so many options. What is

556
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: wrong with all you idiots. Anyway, Twitter is full of

557
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: libs and morons, so this is what you deal with, folks.

558
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, Asheville food, very nice, lots of great people,

559
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: went to beautiful water falls. Saw lots of folks having

560
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: to go to Biltmore. What I want? Did you go

561
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: to the Biltmore? Oh? Yeah, of course, went to the

562
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Biltmore estates Very fast, cool, Yeah, very nice, highly recommend

563
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: I just want everyone to free their faces, that's all.

564
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm just advocating for it. At least have that option. Yeah,

565
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: at least have the option for a free face. Wolf

Speaker 1: hosts like us that are you know, it's supposed to

569
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: be camera ready. Sometimes TV appearance is speak engagements, all

570
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: that stuff. You gotta go a little dressed up sometimes.

571
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: Clay and I can't wear T shirts and flip flops always,

572

Speaker 1: bit more than just wearing a pair of sneaks. Wear

579
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: Wolf and Shepherd because they feel like sneakers, but they

590
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: Sexton show while Buck was going to war with the

591
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: Blue Checks over the city of Asheville, July fourth. I

592
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you even saw this because you were

593
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: too busy, you know, fighting the swarm of commies around me,

594
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: like like buzzing bees. I uh espn Buck, which is

595
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: increasingly unreadable and unwatchable because of its wokeness. I woke

596
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: up on July fourth thinking to myself, Hey, you know

597
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go to the July

598
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: fourth Parade. I'm gonna watch some fireworks and take my

599
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: kid down to the beach and have a good time

600
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: with everybody there. And we did all that. But I

601
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: woke up early on July fourth and ESPN had published

602
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: a piece on its main website as its feature essentially

603
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: arguing that America is awful. And I read it Buck

604
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: and I don't even know if you read this piece,

605
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: but it goes through Roe v. Wade. It argues about

606
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: January sixth, and I read it, and I thought to myself, Okay,

607
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: it's July fourth. ESPN is promoting this. This is on

608
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: their main website. Do I want to respond or not?

609
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Because to the point we were just talking about, it's

610
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the July fourth weekend. And I decided

611
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: I'd take a couple of hours and dash off a

612
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: response to this column. And it now some of you

613
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: out there, I hope you've read it. If you check

614
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: it out, you can go to OutKick dot com. It's

615
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: also up on Foxnews dot com. I think it's up

616
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: now on Sean Hannity dot com. Bucket's gonna end up

617
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: being maybe one of the most read columns that I

618
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: have ever written before. And the reason why I think

619
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: it's resonating to such a large extent is people are

620
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: sick of our cultural institutions being torn down, and that

621
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: they're being torn down from places that they shouldn't be right.

622
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: If you go to ESPN dot com on July fourth,

623
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: you're probably wanting to see when your favorite baseball team

624
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: is going to be playing. Maybe you're following Wimbledon instead.

625
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: You were forced with America is Awful, a four thousand,

626
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: five thousand word piece about why January sixth was the

627
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: worst thing that's ever happened to America and why Roe v.

628
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court is an existential

629
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: threat to all that exists in America today, and I

630
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: just think there's so many people who want to fight back,

631
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: and the response to this piece has further encouraged me.

632
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: About four months from now and the coming Red Way,

633
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people willing to throw punches, and

634
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the legacy of Trump. Even if Trump

635
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: doesn't become the nominee even if he's not president again,

636
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: He's changed the Republican Party forever in that, Hey, I'm

637
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: not gonna meekly kind of cower and try to be

638
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: met Romney and worry about what The New York Times

639
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: is gonna say. I'm gonna throw back at them harder.

640
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's important to know. We're in a

641
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: fight now. One of the primary differences between the mentality

642
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: of people I find on the right and those on

643
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: the left in America today is people on the right

644
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: take pride in being American. People on the left take

645
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: pride in the belief that they are better than America. Yeah,

646
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: you see this playing out well, so the Independence Day weekend,

647
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: the way they will put these articles out there, America

648
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: was not so great, you know. And eventually, look, this

649
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: country means that they're allowed to say they're stupid stuff.

650
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: But as is the case also with people wearing masks,

651
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: we are allowed to say they are wrong and it

652
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: is dumb, and that is our role and punching back. Actually,

653
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: when you'd find out that you're in a fight. One

654
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: of the great quotes of all time. Everybody's got a

655
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: plan until they get punched in the mouth. As Mike Tyson,

656
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: who came up with that quote. You know what we're

657
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: finding out when liberals get punches thrown back at them.

658
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 1: They ain't that prepared to be in a real fight.

659
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: They're good at mobs, they're not good at fighting, and

660
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: they're losing a lot about it. Sleat Travis and Buck

661
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines of
