1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us, Thursday edition. I bet 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: that some of you are starting maybe they put one 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: foot out the door. Memorial Day weekend starts in earnest. 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Maybe for some of you already might be tipping back 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: a few drinks. I just went downstairs and the Travis 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: boys have all finished school. 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: For the year. 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: And I understand some of you are like what, We 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: start early down a year in August a lot of times, 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: especially for football season. But so my kids are all 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: done so for the next two and a half months. 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: If you hear screaming in the background in my house, 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: it's probably kids fighting over video game controllers because they 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: are home for the summer. I promise that they are fine. 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: But I asked you this off Airbuck, and I tweeted 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: about it here. As we get into the third hour, 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: is there any adult joy that is as pure as 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: the joy of a kid getting out of school for 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: the entire summer? Like every person who is out there 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: listening to me right now, just thinking about how joyful 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: that made you when you were a kid, is experiencing 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: that from a nostalgic perspective. There are significant life moments 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: as adults, kids, marriages, buying a home, all of these 25 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: different things that are great. Maybe for some of you, retirement. 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what it feels like to walk out 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: of a job and be like, I'm never doing that again. 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: I'm done. 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Maybe there is an adult experience retirement style. But I 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: can't remember anything that is just more freeing than being 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: the kid walking out of school. Hey, that year is over, buddy, 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: nothing else to worry about, the big long stretch of summer. 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: Can you think of anything as an adult that is 34 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the equivalent of that. 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: No, And it's I think the first thing, the first 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: time as a kid you experienced overwhelming joy, with the 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: possible exception of like the perfect Christmas Morning, which I 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: think is also perhaps you know, a very very nice 39 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: moment for a lot of for a lot of kids. 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: But you know, it reminds me. I don't know our 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: school system, the way that we have it all set up. 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: I have pretty radical ideas on this. Maybe this isn't 43 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: the right forum for it, but I think the whole 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: I think kids are in school for far too long. 45 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: I think that school days is basically glorified childcare for 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: most people. 47 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: I think people. 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: Should spend more time with their families. I think that 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: education has been made more democratized online than ever before. 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying no. Obviously was a big, a 51 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: big proponent of in person learning during COVID everything. I'm 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: not saying get rid of school. I'm just saying, I mean, 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: I look, I just remember I remember being in school, 54 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: particularly high school. But being in school it felt like 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: all the time, and always being tired all the time. 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: I think, I think all the time. Yeah, and that's 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: not good. That's actually not the way you should go 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: through life. We wouldn't we wouldn't accept that as adults, 59 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 3: and people are saying, well, a little bit is it's 60 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: like no, like getting getting up early in the morning 61 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: to practice for sports teams, or finishing sports games at 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: nine o'clock at night, and then having two hours of 63 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: homework or three hours of homework. I mean, I went 64 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: to a pretty intense place for high school, but this 65 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: is not the way it should be. And I anyway, 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: I know I'm a little bit of a Schools are 67 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: a little bit more like prison than we wanted than 68 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: we want to admit. 69 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: It's a little and I didn't expect to a school 70 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: now to turn into their prisons. Well I feel a 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: little bit like like you're the guy in the Shawshank 72 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Redemption when he gets out of prison finally on that 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: last day of school. 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: Should it feel like that or should it be, Oh, 75 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna miss everybody around me. I never missed everybody. 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: I was like, get me out of here. Well, so 77 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: I loved school. 78 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: But I will say that my eyes opened a bit 79 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: on the homeschooling thing when I talked to a lot 80 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: of homeschooling parents and they say, hey, you know, we 81 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: can get through the entire lesson in two or three outs, 82 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: and then the kids are able to experience other things. 83 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: Now. 84 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Yes, Now the challenge is what do your kids do 85 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: with all that extra time? Because my kids would play 86 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: video games and like, so I think how that time 87 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: is used. 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: Every kid is different. 89 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: But I have, in all honesty, I feel incredibly fortunate 90 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: as a parent. All of my kids will go public 91 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: school K to six. So in our neighborhood, we have 92 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: a fabulous school in our community. I feel like we've 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: gotten amazing teachers. I feel really fortunate they are kindergarten 94 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: to sixth grade. Even during COVID, it was obviously retrospect. 95 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: They should have never shut down schools to finish that year. 96 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: But my kids are back in school in August of 97 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty full go all those things. And the seventh 98 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: through twelfth grade school that my boys go to is 99 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: also fabulous. So I feel like they're getting good options. 100 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people shoul really feel 101 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: that way. And someone I really like on that you 102 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: guys have heard me tweet. I don't know if he 103 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: if he'd come on, if we're really his his speed, 104 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: but I've always I like this guy at a Silicon 105 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Valley naval rabacon who's proached. You know, he's become a 106 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: he's one of the pro Trump Silicon Valley guys. Now 107 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: you know he's like the all in guys. He's just 108 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: really really smart, uh and has a lot of brilliant 109 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: things to say on a whole range of issues. 110 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: You've seen him, he's he's appeared on a lot of 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: the big podcasts. And he's a guy Clay who, like you, 112 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: effectively unlimited resources for his children and he he does 113 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: homeschooling and like tries to maximize their freedom as long 114 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: as they have the like they do the lesson planning 115 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: or whatever it is they have to do. So he 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: takes a very uh and he went to an elite 117 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: high school in New York and everything. And you know, 118 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: he's one of these guys, right who he did all 119 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: the all the bells and whistles stuff in the education 120 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: world himself. And now he's just like, I don't think 121 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: that this really really needs to be done. Here's some 122 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: interesting stuff. When you actually look at this, you find 123 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: out that because people say, well what about you know, 124 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: look at the American educational system, it wasn't really until 125 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: we were largely herded into factories and offices that the 126 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: notion of a nine months of the year and nine 127 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 3: to five essentially, I maybe even nine to three in 128 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: most schools school day was the norm the school. 129 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: I just just googled this for fun. 130 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I knew that this was roughly the case 131 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: that all throughout the nineteenth century. I understand different times everything, 132 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 3: but pre industrial America, yes, people had helped their families 133 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: in the farms, et cetera. But students went to school 134 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 3: about seventy eight days a year. Now, just think about 135 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: this for a second. Someone like Abraham Lincoln would have grow. 136 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: You know, you say Abraham Lincoln went to school, someone 137 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: like Abraham Lincoln or his era, they would have gone 138 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: to school for two or three you know, the equivalent 139 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 3: of like three months something like that, like that, and 140 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: you're able to learn a lot in those three months. 141 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: My point is that so much of school is wasted 142 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: because so much of school is just to have adults 143 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: who are paid to watch children so they don't, you know, 144 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 3: stab themselves in the eye with a pencil or like 145 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: run out in front of a train or something. It's 146 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: really not about kids can't learn for eight hours a day? 147 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: Am I too radical and crazy on this? Kids cannot 148 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: learn for. 149 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 2: Eight hours, Clay, You and I can't learn for eight hours. 150 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: I finished the show. 151 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: My wife tries to talk to me, and she's like, 152 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: feel like a mummy for an hour. I'm like yeah, 153 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: because I've just put her all out there for three hours. 154 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: I think. So here's by the way, there's Supreme Court 155 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: decision today in schooling that came down tied four to four. 156 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: So Oklahoma does not have the right to have charter 157 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: religious schools. And that's a simplification. Amy Cony Barrett recused herself. 158 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: So the Oklahoma Supreme Court decision stands because there was 159 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: not a majority in the court. 160 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 2: Here's what I believe. Am I totally nuts? 161 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Like like, well, so here's my concern about much of schooling. 162 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: It is that we have stopped, to a large extent 163 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: experimenting with Now children are taught and we are just 164 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: throwing money at it, and a lot of kids are 165 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: being failed by the process. 166 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: Well, that's because it's a jobs program. It's not about 167 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: the kids, and it's about the teachers' unions getting their 168 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: perks and their bennies and not actually about you know, 169 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: stuff going for the kids the best way that it can. 170 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: Now again, I feel because I was a public school 171 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: kid K through twelve my seven to twelfth grade, I 172 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: felt like I couldn't have gotten a better education my 173 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: kids K to six and seven twelve, I think because 174 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: we have the resources, but public school K to six 175 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: has been fabulous for them, and then our seven to 176 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: twelfth grade is great too. I do what again, when 177 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: I looked at the homeschooling concepts, one of the things 178 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: that I think we do a really poor job of. 179 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: And this is me getting on my soapbox now as 180 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: a parent with three kids in school. Much of what 181 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 3: our kids are taught they will never actually use in 182 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: their real life. Oh man, I could go, I go. 183 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: This gives me really fired up. For instance, I grew 184 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: I thought I went to a great school. I graduated. 185 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: Nobody ever sat down and talked to me about how 186 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: mortgages work, or about what carriers and finance should be 187 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: something that everybody learns high school age. 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: Very basic stuff. You know, balance a checkbook is old school. 189 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: But just talking about life skills, I understand some of 190 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: you have gone on and my father in law as 191 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: an engineer, at no point in life have I ever 192 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: needed to find the hypot news of a triangle or 193 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: apply to pethic thagarean theorem. 194 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 195 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: And I understand you're like, well, you're really just teaching 196 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: your brain how to think. I think there are other 197 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: things I could have taught my brain how to think that. 198 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: Would have been more useful in my life. 199 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: And so I feel like we really would benefit from 200 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: basic economic training, from basic probability and statistics being embedded 201 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: in school learning, and that many of the things that 202 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: are a part of our regular curriculum are to a 203 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: large extent useless and that doesn't mean that if you 204 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: are intrigued by something that you shouldn't be able to 205 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: pursue it, because the reality is, Look, I majored in 206 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: history undergrad I'm never going to stop reading history books. 207 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,119 Speaker 1: And if you told me tomorrow, hey, you are basically 208 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: finite in the education that you have received. I want 209 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: to learn something new every day and I want to 210 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: remain intellectually curious, and those are important assets to have. 211 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: But I feel like a dogmatic training schedule where you 212 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: teach a lot of kids things they don't need, it 213 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And by the way, for shop too, 214 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: Like I was reading a great story and more power 215 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: to it. I think it's Philadelphia where they're teaching kids 216 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: how to weld. 217 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: If you know you're not going to go to. 218 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: College, these kids are getting higher. I think it's a 219 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: front page Wall Street journal. I read seventy five thousand 220 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: dollars a year, and they're being trained how to weld 221 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: in school and they come out and they're getting recruited. 222 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's fabulous, Like, why don't we have more 223 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: things like this? 224 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: If people think that DOGE found a lot of waste, 225 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: fraud and abuse in the federal government. If you actually 226 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: looked at the realities of public education in this country 227 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: and is what is foisted upon people and what we're 228 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: paying for, especially with your property taxes and everything else. 229 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: It's a car It's just a giant cartel, and it 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: really is set up. It was never set up for 231 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: the benefit of children. It was set up to be 232 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 3: a babysitting program so that adults could go to their 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: offices or their factories and labor. And that is the 234 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: whole that is the whole point of it. Just like 235 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: in the Soviet Union, by the way, I mean, this 236 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 3: is what they actually wanted. Ever, this is going back 237 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 3: to the industry revolution the early nineteen hundreds, and that's 238 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: when all of a sudden you have people going to 239 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: school for most of the year, five days a week. 240 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: You know, Notice how it aligns with what a adults 241 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: need for their work schedules. I'm just saying, Clay, I mean, 242 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: just to take this really simply. Uh, do you think 243 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: you could have learned? I know you you enjoyed. Look, 244 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: I had a good grammar school experience. I thought my 245 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: high school was a little too intense and a little 246 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: too nerdy. I mean, I'm not I'm not particularly fond 247 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: of the place. But do you think you could have 248 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: learned the same amount of stuff with half of the 249 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: classroom instruction? But I'm certain that I could have. I 250 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: went to law school. I think you're talking about young 251 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 3: young forget about it. 252 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: No, No, but I think I think it extends into 253 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: grad school, perhaps even more. I had to go to 254 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: law school for three years to take the bar exam. 255 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: I think if you had told me you have six 256 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: months as you used to have to study to take 257 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: you used to just be able to pass the bar 258 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: exam and not have to go to law school, and 259 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: you could be like back in the day Andrew Jackson. 260 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: You apprenticed and you got to look at the books 261 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: and you got to memorize all the stuff. I think 262 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: if you had told me you have six months to 263 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: study aggressively all of the law and then you will 264 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: take bar exam, I think I could have passed the 265 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: bar exam with six months of preparation. Instead, they made 266 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: me and look. I loved Vanderbilt Law School. I met 267 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: my wife there, some of my best friends are there. 268 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: It was an incredible three year experience. But it basically 269 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: is a barrier to being able to become a lawyer, 270 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: because you have to spend whatever it is, a quarter 271 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: million dollars now to go to law school to then 272 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: be able to have the right to take the bar exam. 273 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: I think I want. 274 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: This is blocking out achievement. Think thinking a little bit 275 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 3: outside of the box of this. You know, Clay, you're 276 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: a very sociable guy, and a lot of grad school 277 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: based on and I remember I went into getting it. 278 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: I went into media instead of grad school. So I 279 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 3: looked at this decision and it was just because I 280 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: didn't want to rack up all the debt and I 281 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 3: always wanted to work in media, and it kind of 282 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: just fell on my lap. Thank you, Glenn. But you 283 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 3: know you would have made connect It's it's to make 284 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: connections and as social proof essentially for a lot of people. 285 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: And you know you would have made connections and found 286 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: your social proof otherwise, you know, without spending. 287 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: But you know we need to me Laura, I'm not 288 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: saying that, but you don't what I'm saying Like. 289 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm just I am sympathetic for people who could be 290 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: So one of the things I again nerd out on 291 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: is to me, the job of any government should be 292 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: to allow the largest number of people to have the 293 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: greatest possible success based on individual liberty to pursue whatever 294 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: their talent is. I think around a lot of time now, buck, 295 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: how many kids out there don't maximize their ability because 296 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: of barriers that are put in place that are not 297 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: particularly beneficial. In other words, they're the most brilliant lawyer 298 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: in America might not be able to have the money 299 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: to go to law school. And that doesn't seem right 300 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: to me. I'm a long term gold guy. Let's talk 301 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: about this for a second, shall we. 302 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: If you see what gold has done, you could pull 303 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: it up on a chart, for example, and you can 304 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: see that for the last oh, I don't know, choose 305 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 3: a number of decades. Gold, if you're a long term holder, 306 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: has been a sound investment. I believe in gold, and 307 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: we just had Ran Paul on today and he's telling 308 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: you the truth, which we're not actually tackling the debt. 309 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: We're making the debt worse. We're going to be crowding 310 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: out private sector investment. I'm sorry to say this is 311 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 3: not going to change anytime soon and probably ever in 312 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: our lifetime, which means that dollars are going to be 313 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: decreasing in value. There will be inflation, and you can 314 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: do something about that now. This is where gold comes 315 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: in as a hedge against that inflation and the economic 316 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: uncertainty and the financial crunch that it will cause. But 317 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: you don't want to wait until that actually kicks in. 318 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 3: You want to take action now and build your gold 319 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: holdings over time. This is where Birch Gold Group comes in. 320 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 3: Owning gold just makes sense and historically it has proven out. 321 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: I think about I've been doing this for fifteen years. 322 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: You think about the people that have been telling you 323 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: to buy gold, think about Rush decades of Hey, guys, 324 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: gold makes sense and it has. It has been a 325 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: sound investment. It has gone up in value, and you 326 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: can check this for yourself. You don't have to just 327 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: take my word for it.

President Trump campaigned on that. That's 430 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 6: what this big beautiful bill is about, is making sure 431 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 6: that we can lower people's taxes so they have more 432 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 6: money in their pockets. This is an administration that is 433 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 6: about securing our border, fighting the drug academic It's about 434 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 6: creating energy independence in this country. 435 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 4: That's a big deal. 436 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 6: In Kentucky, we are a commonwealth to the extent we 437 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 6: have a competitive advantage. It's about our fossil fields industry. 438 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 6: It's coal and natural gas. And having a president in 439 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 6: the White House that recognizes that in order to have 440 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 6: energy independence, we have to have in prioritize are fossil fuels. 441 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 6: That's a big deal.

You know there will be people that jump 446 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 6: into this race, but what you will never hear somebody 447 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 6: say is that there's going to be somebody that's more 448 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: conservative and more supportive of the Trump administration than Daniel Cameron, 449 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 6: because there's not going to be. I've shown it with 450 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 6: my record, and I'm led by conviction. I mean, right now, 451 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 6: in my current day job, I'm fighting diversity, equity inclusion, 452 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 6: I'm fighting against ESG because these are convictions.

But I'm in a strong 459 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 6: position given all the polling right now. I think the 460 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 6: most recent poll have me up thirty points to my 461 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 6: next Clobe competitor.

But when 471 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: you look around at the candidates that the Democrat Party 472 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: is putting forward. We talk a lot on this program 473 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: about how young men, black, white, Asian, Hispanic are breaking 474 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: away from the Democrat Party. And you know, I really say, men, 475 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, younger than the age of forty five, for instance, 476 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: certainly eighteen to twenty four year olds is. 477 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: Off the charts. Why do you think that is? 478 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: And do you see that reflected when you travel around 479 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: in the state of Kentucky. 480 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I mean you know that, you know, men in 481 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 6: particular wants somebody that's not going to demean them, is 482 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 6: not going to belittle them, is not going to tell 483 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 6: them that they are the problem in every circumstance. And 484 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 6: President Trump spoke to men of all races. He spoke 485 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 6: to men across this country in a way that candidly 486 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 6: Republican and Democrats just hadn't done. And I think men 487 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 6: have been gravit gravitating to the Republican Party because again, 488 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 6: they're tired of a Democratic party that tell that belittles 489 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 6: them and tells them again that they are the issue 490 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 6: to every problem in this country. 491 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 7: Uh. 492 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 6: President Trump has been strong in support of, frankly, people 493 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 6: of all walks of life. But the reason that men 494 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 6: of different races have been coming to the Republican Party 495 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 6: is because, again, this is a party that says, hey, 496 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 6: it's it's okay to be a man, it's okay to 497 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 6: be strong, it's okay to be a leader, and you 498 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 6: don't I have to apologize for that. And the Democrats, 499 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 6: for whatever reason, have decided to double and triple down 500 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 6: on this ideology that tells you it's okay for men 501 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 6: to play in women's sports, that we somehow need to 502 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 6: be afraid of masculinity. Again, President Trump says, let's disregard that, 503 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 6: let's focus on men being leaders, working hard, providing for 504 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 6: their families. And I hear that from people all across 505 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 6: Kentucky that are tired of a Democratic party that, you know, 506 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 6: candidly has tried to diminish the importance of men in 507 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 6: our society. And you know again, President Trump has recognized 508 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 6: that has looked for ways to make sure men know 509 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 6: that this is a party that supports them and is 510 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 6: going to value them. 511 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: We're talking to Daniel Cameron, running for Senate in Kentucky. 512 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this news yet, but 513 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: you played college football at Louisville. 514 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: There is news now. 515 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: That the top twelve teams are going to make the 516 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: college football playoff in order they're going to be seeded 517 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: that way. That is just broken in the last fifteen 518 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: or twenty minutes. Do you expect if you go on 519 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: and I think you will become the next senator from Kentucky, 520 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: do you expect that your Louisville Cardinal will during your 521 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: first term in office make the college football Playoff? Would 522 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: that be an expectation in six years? 523 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 6: Clay On the first point, I did play football U 524 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 6: of L. But play is a very generous term. 525 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: I took people all the time. 526 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 6: I had a front row seat to the best team 527 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 6: in the house when I was sitting on the bench. 528 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 6: But hey man, look Hope springs Eternal. I believe in 529 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 6: coach Brohm. Look, I believe wholeheartedly that within the first 530 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 6: six years we're going to have a U OFL football 531 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 6: team that is playing in the playoffs and hopefully competing 532 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 6: ultimately for that national championship. 533 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 4: That's my hope. Again. 534 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 6: You know, Jeff coach brom was one of the quarterbacks 535 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 6: coaches when I was playing, and they just the Broms 536 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 6: have a heart for not only the university but for 537 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 6: the community. And I know that's on their heart to 538 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 6: push and to strive to get us in that national 539 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 6: championship game. So I'm hopeful that will happen. I'm hoping 540 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 6: it'll happen on the earlier side of my term and not. 541 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 4: Towards the end. 542 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 6: You know, our fans, our fans are like Tennessee fans. 543 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: They're like all fans. They want success immediately. 544 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 6: So let's make sure we get them there early as 545 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 6: opposed to the latter end of that first turn. 546 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: All right, So last question for you. We just had 547 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby a couple of weeks ago. Buck and 548 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: I were up there last year. It was fabulous for pit. Now, 549 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: I know you're a Louisville guy, but one of the 550 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: coolest things obviously is the derby, but also Keenland is 551 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: pretty fabulous and a lot of UK people tell me 552 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: that the combo and I still haven't done it. The 553 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: combo of Kentucky football and Keenland Race Day is one 554 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: of the best days for a sports fan anywhere, even 555 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: as a U U of L guy, even as a 556 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Louisville guy, would you give them that nod and say, 557 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: Keenland plus UK Football Day is pretty tough to beat. 558 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 6: That's a that's a hard That is a hard day 559 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 6: to beat, regardless of where you are in the country. 560 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 6: I mean that there's no better atmosphere than than spending 561 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 6: a little time at Keenland and then at the uh 562 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 6: you know for UK football. 563 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 4: Game as well. 564 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 6: And I'll just say, you know, in that circumstance, not 565 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 6: only do you get to tailgate once, but you get 566 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 6: to tell gate twice because people tailgate before they go 567 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 6: into to Keenland and then you tailgate before you go 568 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 6: into the football game.
