00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number three Friday edition.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Hope all of you are having fantastic Friday so far

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: as we prepare to roll.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Into the weekend.

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be back here alongside a Buck amazing

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: time down in Australia. We bring in now our regular

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: guests czar of all things Trump legal related, particularly January sixth,

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: she is Julie Kelly. Julie, I hope you had a

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: good New Year and a good Christmas as well. We

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us. I said earlier on the show

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: that I'm increasingly of the opinion that Jack Smith is

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: not going to get his trial in in Washington, DC

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: related to jan six before the election, because I think

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's going to have to weigh in on

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: a variety of these charges. How would you assess the timeline?

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I think you have tweeted as well that there's no

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: way the early March trial date is happening. Where are

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: we now on these trials?

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Hey guys, thanks for having me on. You're happy thieve

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: of Fedsurrection Day. If you're in Australia, it might already

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: be feed direction day there. I'm not sure it is.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: It's January sixth already in Australia right now.

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: All right, well, celebrate accordingly, Wow for the FBI informants

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: working around So, I mean, I think it's a pretty

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: safe bet that the March fourth trial date is off.

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: I mean, here we are, you know, sixty days out.

28
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: There are a lot of deadlines that have been put

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: on hold by the court because the immunity issue is

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: now before the Appellate Court on Tuesday, that will make

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: its way to the Supreme Court eventually. So the pretty

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: safe bet the March fourth trial date is off. Does

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: that mean that they will hold off before election day?

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure. Possibly, But to your point, you know,

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: this immunity issue and Judge Chuckkin denying Trump's claims of

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: presidential immunity from this criminal prosecution definitely has to be

37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: settled by the Supreme Court because, of course, this is unprecedented.

38
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court has never weighed in on whether a

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: president or former president is protected from criminal prosecution for

40
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 3: activity that was conducted while he was president in office,

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: So that could be Now, how that fits in with

42
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: the classified documents trial in Southern Florida. You know that's

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: still up in the air too. That trial date, all

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: of the pre trial schedule is on hold there as

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: well as what's happening in the DC case sort of

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: makes its way through the court system. So it's very complex,

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: very convoluted. But look, Jacksmith and the dj AS, you know,

48
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: they're not going to adhere to any norms or any

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: rules or standard operating procedure in terms of not bringing

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: a criminal prosecution before an election. We already know that

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: they violate that brazenly. And so it's not like if

52
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: this trial can move forward after a Supreme Court ruling

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: in June that they put this on trial. If they

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: put them on trial in July or August, will they

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: do it?

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, Julie, as these.

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: These trials are maybe going to happen, we don't really

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: know what's going on. Do you think Jack Smith has

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: foreseen what's going on here? Or is there a little

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: bit of panic in the walls are closing in Democrat

61
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: precincts if you will, right, you know what I mean?

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: The people that are like, oh, we finally got Trump.

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: He's finally going to be convicted and maybe we'll even

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: be able to get him under home confinement or some

65
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: kind of a sentence like that. Are they panicking a

66
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: little bit that Jack Smith might have messed up? I mean,

67
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: is this starting to trickle down you think? Or is

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: this more or less with what was expected by the

69
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: Special Council.

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I think the left and the Democrats

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: have to be panicking about what's happening with this DC trial.

72
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: You know, it could be a matter of time before

73
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: Jack Smith gets criticism from his own side, waiting until

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: August first of this last year to bring this four

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: counts sort of flimsy, really flimsy indictment against Donald Trump

76
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: for January sixth, lifting most of the verbiage from the

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: January sixth Select Committee, but even at greater risk, and

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: we've talked about this then. The immunity issue is that

79
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 3: two of the four counts in Jacksmith's criminal indictment against

80
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: Trump for January sixth could be reversed by the Supreme

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: Court before they even handle the immunity issue, and that

82
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: is this fifteen twelve c to obstruction of an official

83
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: preceding statute. The Supreme Court granted cert in that matter

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: last month. They will be reviewing how doj intentionally misinterpreted

85
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: the big language and that statue to use it against

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: three hundred plus J sixers and Donald Trump. If the

87
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: Supreme Court comes back in rules at the District Court

88
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: has misapplied that statute, that it misinterpreted it, then that

89
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: has huge consequences for Jack Smith's indictment. So then what

90
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: does he do next? I am still not completely convinced,

91
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,119
Speaker 3: as we've talked about for over a year, he won't

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: file a superseding indictment simply because at fifteen twelve C.

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: Two charge is that it is such in jeopardy. So

94
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: I could send some criticism heading Jack Smith's way. Also,

95
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: knowing that the immunity issue for President Trump had to

96
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: be settled before the trial could move forward, that they

97
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: waited until August to file this indictment, they push for

98
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: a quick trial. Judge Chuck Han granted that this is

99
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: a crisis of their own making, both Judge Chuck And

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: and Jack Smith. So what happens now? Yes, I'm sure

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: there's quite a bit of canic in Special Council's office.

102
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about timing. You mentioned that March

103
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: fourth initial trial date. I don't think that there's been

104
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: any official acknowledgment. There's no way on the planet that's happening, right,

105
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: So this case is not starting in March, so I

106
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: think we can toss that out the window. If the

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Supreme Court waits until June, they can wait till late June,

108
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I think on the calendar to release all of their

109
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: different opinions. The absolutely if they waited till then, which

110
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't think is crazy to contemplate. A lot of

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: times they save their most politically charged opinions till the

112
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: end of the term. If they do that, then how

113
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: long has a jury selection typically taken in your experience

114
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: on these jan sixth cases, Because if they do that,

115
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't see any way that they can get this

116
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: case resolved in DC before we go to start voting

117
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: all over the country, especially given how early early voting is.

118
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know when the official earliest vote

119
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: will be cast, but certainly it's in October. I don't

120
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: see any way they could get this resolve before the election.

121
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious. You've been through so many of

122
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: these trials, what's the typical jury selection process look like?

123
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: This one would certainly not be typical but I would

124
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: think it would take a couple of months at minimum

125
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to see the jury.

126
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: Well, it should take a few months, right, I mean,

127
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: I think the longest jury selection process I saw was

128
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: with the Proud Boys trial, and they think that that

129
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: was several days. But look, judges typically also just go

130
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: run through the jury selection in a day or two.

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: Jury questionnaires were supposed to be filed this Tuesday in

132
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: this case. As they send those out to prospective jurors,

133
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: they look at who is qualified disqualified. Then, as you know,

134
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: they have the wad Deer process where individuals come in personally.

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: They're asked by to judge a number of questions, including

136
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: their ties to the federal government or DJ or their

137
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: inherent bias. So this is going to be that would

138
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: be a tough jury selection. But look, you've got Judge

139
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: chuck In at the end of the day, really is

140
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: the one who will see this jury. Will she consent

141
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: to a hastened process, Absolutely positively she will. So you know,

142
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: Trump and his team certainly are not out of the

143
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: woods in terms of quickening, you know, rushing to a

144
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: quick to a quick jury trial. If now, look, there's

145
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: also a slim chance that the Supreme Court won't hear

146
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: any Appellate Court ruling. If the Appellate Court comes down

147
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: after oral arguments are this Tuesday, the night the Appellate

148
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: Court three judge panel comes back, say a week or

149
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 3: two later, they probably are already preparing this. It's two Democrats,

150
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: one Republican. If it's a three to zero decision, and

151
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 3: then this is eventually ends up at the Supreme Court.

152
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: They could deny cert. They could just say no, we're

153
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: not going to review this. You need four justices to

154
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: grant cert in a case, meaning they will review the

155
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: Appellate Court's decision. Do you trust that we've got four

156
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: strong justices on the Supreme Court who would take up

157
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: such a politically charged matter in an election year. I don't.

158
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: So that's certainly an option. And then the immunity issue

159
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: is settled, keys denied immunity, and then the process can

160
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: move forward. So that's another option that this never even

161
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: makes it to the Supreme Court because they're not required

162
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: to take it up.

163
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: But they do have half, sorry, they do have half

164
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: of these charges that they have to decide potentially as

165
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: late as June, right that they've already accepted.

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: Exactly, So that is a bigger risk to Jacksmith, because

167
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: that's a certainty. They granted certain on December thirteenth. Oral

168
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: arguments will probably take place March in April, and then

169
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: to your point, a decision rendered by the end of

170
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 3: this term, which is the end of June. So they

171
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: might be there's a chance that they deny certain the

172
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: immunity issue and they turn around on this fifteen twelve

173
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: seat too, which is pretty clear cut that the DOJ

174
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: has not applied that statute correctly. You had the Appellate

175
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: Court judge Florence pan of Democrats say that this was

176
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: the first time it's ever been used this way. The

177
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Appellate Court ruling that they're considering is basically three different opinions.

178
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: It's called a splintered ruling, which is what one of

179
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: the judges on the panels said. If you read that

180
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: ruling and you read the origin originating case Fisher versus USA,

181
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: it's hard to imagine the Supreme Court doesn't drastically reprimand

182
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: the Appellate Court or revise that judgment, but overturn it outright,

183
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: then this fifteen twelve sey too, And look, we already

184
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: see and I've reported you guys have probably seen this.

185
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: You have defendants who are awaiting sentencing going to judges

186
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: who have allowed this count asking them to delay sentencing

187
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: until the Supreme Court can rule. So you already have

188
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: judges in DC who are wary about what the Supreme

189
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: Court is going to do with this count. That is

190
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: a heavier burden on Jack Smith than this community issue

191
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: in my opinion.

192
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Talking to Julie Kelly, declassify with Julie Kelly is her substack.

193
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: You should all go check it out for these kinds

194
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: of issues that we're talking about today, and Julie the

195
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: state ballot issues Colorado, Maine, perhaps some others that may

196
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: be coming up here.

197
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Do you view this?

198
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you think that it's crazy. I

199
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: think it's crazy, But is it really just frivolous political

200
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: maneuvering or is there any chance that this could actually

201
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: work in one of these states?

202
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it really it could work. It will again

203
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: be up to the Supreme Court. You have Trump filed

204
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: cert and Republican officials at filed certific sciory, which means

205
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: they're asking the Supreme Court to review a case, and

206
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: so they're asked. They've asked for the Supreme Court to

207
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: review the Colorado four three decision that declared Trump indeed

208
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 3: engaged in insurrection and therefore is disqualified from running for office.

209
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: It's hard to see scot as I could see them

210
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: denying the immunity issue before this one. But look, what

211
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: does this do optics wise? It continue used to fuel

212
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: the idea of that January sixth was an insurrection that

213
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was responsible. It also potentially gives Jack Smith

214
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: the fodder he needs to file a superseding indictment along

215
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: those lines either insurrection seditious conspiracy if we've talked about

216
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 3: over the past year. So you know, this all could

217
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: be evidence he could bring before grand jury and seeking

218
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: harsher charges against Donald Trump. And keep in mind, we

219
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: still have those six unindicted co conspirators in the indictment,

220
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: the existing Jack Smith indictment. Those are people like Jeffrey Clark,

221
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell. You know, people have

222
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: taken please people who have been charged in other venues.

223
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: So you know, all those are a few of the

224
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: things that could be working in Jack Smith's favor right now.

225
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: But look, this guy is not done. We've seen what

226
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 3: he's capable. He's flagrantly violating a court order in the

227
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: DC case by filing court related motions or trial related

228
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: mote which is why Donald Trump's legal team whiled on

229
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: asked the judge to hold Jacksmith's team in contempt for

230
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: violating this temporary stay on trial proceedings until there's a

231
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: decision on the immunity matter. So he doesn't care none

232
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: of as I said, none of the rules, none of

233
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: the laws, none of the regulations applied Jack Smith. So

234
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: this is where that sort of decision Colorado and Maine

235
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: could help him out if he is seeking more criminal

236
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: indictments against Trump.

237
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: Last question, Julie quickly here. Biden is speaking in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania,

238
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: in about an hour a day early to celebrate the

239
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: third anniversary of jan six. Do you think that speech

240
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: is going to have residence? Do you think jan six

241
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: still moves people?

242
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: I think it is such a sign of desperation, and

243
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: for me and others who covered this, and thank you

244
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: both for helping cover my work, it is a sign

245
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: of desperation. They know that January sixth narrative is unraveling

246
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: at so many levels. Public trust in what's happening. You

247
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: see the Washington Post poll where support of the j

248
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: six insurrection storyline is disintegrating. And now you have the

249
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: Biden campaign saying in some ways January sixth was worse

250
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: than the Civil War, which is what his deputy campaign No,

251
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, his campaign manager said in a call with

252
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: the press this week. Well, at least during the Civil

253
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: War you didn't have insurrection to storming the capital. That's

254
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: what she actually said. It's a sign of desperation and

255
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: should be a positive sign for the rest of us

256
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: that the truth is coming out. The left to Democrats,

257
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: Biden and media are on the run because this whole

258
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: narrative is collapsing.

259
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Julie. By the way, as a Civil War

260
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: history nerd, I can point out the reason there was

261
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: no attack on the capitol was because there were lots

262
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: of forts that surrounded Washington, d C. During the Civil War,

263
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: and in fact, if they could have, the South would

264
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: have taken Washing DC and into the war.

265
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: That was the entire point. Thanks Julie. I mean the

266
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: British burned it down in eighteen twelve just to be mean,

267
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: just to be mean.

268
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: They were prickly.

269
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: It's like they had run out of tea and crumpets,

270
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: and they wanted to just burn down our white house

271
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: like the mean old Brits. They are.

272
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Hey, Richmond burned and much of the South burned. Atlanta

273
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: got burned down. If you could take a city you tried.

274
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a way to reduce your monthly

275
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: expenses in the new year, consider switching your cell phone

276
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: service to Pure Talk. If your current service is with

Speaker 1: Verizon AT and T or T Mobile, you can save

00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,320

Speaker 1: to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show Joy.

299
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: Behar missed Clay while he was out of the country

300
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: in Australia, and she wants to remind him to get boosted, boosted,

301
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: and boosted again.

302
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: Play for look at what's happening with these anti vax people.

303
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: You know, I said this the other day. I have

304
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: been boosted and boosted and boosted, so I got it COVID.

305
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 4: It does not prevent you from getting COVID, but you

306
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: don't die from it, right, And yet you have people

307
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: like this Robert Kennedy Junior, who's going out there and

308
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: attacking Fauci and saying that it's a bad thing to get.

309
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: He's not saying it's SATs are. He's actually believed I know.

310
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 4: But this is fake news, and that's another thing, fake news,

311
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: alternative facts, all of that started recently. To that point.

312
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: People need to check their sources.

313
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: I mean, we've.

314
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: Only listen to what we say. I'm telling them, We

315
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: tell the truth.

316
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: Don't you love that, Clay when it comes to medical advice,

317
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: listen to the ladies of the view and ignore the

318
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: fact that almost nobody is getting this booster. It's not

319
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: even just a Republican thing anymore.

320
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Well, the aarp I saw this, just sent out to

321
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: all their members that you need to get your eighth

322
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: COVID shot. Think about that, the arp has millions and

323
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: millions of subscribers in eighth COVID shot eight. I used

324
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: to make jokes and maybe it's the ninth one, maybe

325
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: it's the tenth one, eight COVID shots. I mean, this

326
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: is madness, fluting sanity.

327
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: Clay's gotta get boosted, boosted in boost it again. We'll

328
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: talk more about this. Don't let the news of the

329
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: day distract you from the build within our federal government

330
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: that they don't want you to know about. So much so,

331
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: he's created a video describing his concerns and how you

332
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: can empower yourself. Diga believes that he's discovered something that

333
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: could actually trigger the biggest financial crisis in America's history.

334
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: Quite a claim, but he comes with considerable credibility based

335
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: on his previous predictions. He's exposing all the details in

336
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: an online video. It's free for you to watch and

337

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

343
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We roll into the weekend,

344
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: getting ten days out from what will soon be the

345
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: Iowa Caucuses. Had a great time in Australia. Appreciate Michael

346
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: Berry sitting in Buck helping to carry the load. Whole

347
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: family was down there, fabulous time. I'll continue to tell

348
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: you all the brilliant things that I learned while in Australia. Buck.

349
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: Did you see Mark Cuban and Elon Musk going at

350
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: it on Twitter yesterday?

351
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: Yes?

352
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: I did so. I think the best way to attack

353
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: diversity the deis the diversity, inclusion and equity universe that's

354
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: been created is by pointing to athletics. And by athletics,

355
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if, for instance, you looked at the US

356
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: men's basketball team, it's best in the world. We dominate basketball,

357
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: as we dominate many other different different sports as well.

358
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: The great thing about sports is best man or best

359
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: woman wins. Sometimes it's the best man pretending to be

360
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: a woman. But that only exists in states like Ohio,

361
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: where I don't know if you mentioned Buck, but Mike DeWine,

362
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: the idiot governor there, decided that he was not going

363
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: to reject that. But the black dominance of basketball pretty

364
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: well established. The twelve best basketball players in the United

365
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: States right now are all black. Black men represent only

366
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of the United States.

367
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you're isn't isn't a Djokich the best player

368
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA right now?

369
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: Us men's team? Oh, I'm sorry you said US men's

370
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: team part, Yeah, the US men's basketball team. Yes, Jokich

371
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: is the reigning MVP the Denver Nuggets. That's an impressive

372
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: knowledge by you. The Denver Nuggets are.

373
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: The defending To get some sports knowledge in there, to

374
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: try to make up for my role Tide disaster, I

375
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: meant to say, go who blow that one.

376
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Go Blue Michigan. Michigan won and is advancing to play

377
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: for the national title Monday, and Good State good the

378
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: location of Houston. So arguably two of the five best

379
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: players in the NBA right now are white. They're both foreign.

380
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: Luca don Chik from down in down in Dallas playing

381
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: with the Mavericks right now. And then you've got Djokovic

382
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: who is playing, sorry Nicole Jokich, who is playing right

383
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: now for the Denver Nuggets. Yokovic is down in Australia

384
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: where I was. The paper's were covering him quite a

385
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: lot as he gets ready for the Australian Open, because

386
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: miraculously he is allowed in. By the way, no restrictions

387
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: for anybody out there. Some people are asking, I never

388
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: got the COVID shot there now and there's no mention

389
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: virtually of COVID anywhere in Australia. Now. They were wrong

390
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: on it completely. They are just pretending that it never

391
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: happened in Australia. I saw zero COVID restriction, zero mentioned

392
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: when you walk in questioning, no question even if you

393
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: got the shot, no questions about it at all.

394
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: I never got the COVID. It's shameful that they don't

395
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: have restrictions. It's shameful that they pretend like they didn't

396
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: become East Germany with koalas. It's crazy.

397
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: I was told a great I went out for drinks

398
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: with a guy down there travels back and forth to

399
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: the United States quite a lot as involved in media business.

400
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: He said Buck and I couldn't get over this that

401
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: after the US had opened up and Australia remained doing

402
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: its COVID insanity. He said that you could fly on

403
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: a flight from LA to Australia and when you hit

404
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: Australian International waters, after you had been on the airplane

405
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: for twelve or thirteen hours, they would come on the

406
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: PA and tell everyone they needed to put a mask on.

407
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 2: Think about how crazy that is.

408
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: You take off in the US, you fly for any

409
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: of you have ever been on one of these flights,

410
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: and I had never been on a flight this long before.

411
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: You fly for fourteen or fifteen hours, and when they

412
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: they hit Australian International waters, which is probably only an

413
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: hour left in the flight or so, they came on

414
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: the PA and required everyone to put masks on. That's

415
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: how crazy Australia was. But I would this all came

416
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: up because, again, the twelve US men's basketball players right

417
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: now are all black. There are only about thirteen percent

418
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: of the United States population that is black. So if

419
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: you wanted the US men's basketball team to look like

420
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: America and to accurately reflect our diversity, you know what

421
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to do, Buck, You'd have to fire ten

422
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: black guys. You'd have to fire only two black guys

423
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: would be allowed to be on the US men's basketball team.

424
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: You'd have to fire ten black guys. And you'd have

425
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: to replace him with inferior players who were white, Asian

426
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: or Hispanic. And Mark Cuban was out. And Mark Cuban

427
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: is a real disappointment to me, Buck, because he used

428
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: to be a used to be kind of a creative thinker,

429
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: a disruptor of sorts. That's what he was with the

430
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks when he bought the team. Now he's just

431
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: gelded himself. He just has absolutely no balls, and he

432
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: runs around on social media just curled up in the

433
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: fetal position all the time. And Elon Musk called him

434
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: out and said, when Mark Cuban was out here saying

435
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: talking about why DEI is so great, Elon Musk just responded, cool,

436
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: so when should we expect to see a short, white

437
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Asian woman on the MAVs, which is very, very funny.

438
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: But again, sports is a perfect example of how diversity

439
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: and inclusion not only can make no sense, but how

440
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: it could actually destroy a team. And using the US

441
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: men's basketball team is a great example because if you

442
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: really wanted a accurate representation of America, you'd have to

443
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: fire a bunch of black guys because the US men's

444
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: basketball team is only is made up of all black men,

445
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: it's only thirteen percent black, And I just I always

446
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: think that's a perfect representation of how broken all of

447
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: this is. You can have a quality and not have

448
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: equal outcomes, and that doesn't seem to be something that

449
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: registers in the left. And you never hear any complaint

450
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: about a absence of diversity when any group that is

451
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: that is considered diverse dominates, right, And that's why the

452
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: US men's basketball team is a good example. But Elon

453
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: Musk asking when there's going to be an Asian woman

454
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Mavericks team is also pretty funny because

455
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: obviously no woman could ever make any pro men's team.

456
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, you saw you saw that Mark Cuban was essentially

457
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: talking in circles, which is what always ends up happening

458
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: with people who want to defend this DEI stuff at

459
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: AFPR rational because they say, no, it's it's not about

460
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: just it's about like the totality of the picture, and

461
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: you're not changing standards and it's just about finding talent

462
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: where other Well, then why do you need it if

463
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: people are just as good, why do you have to

464
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: change the standards. You can't change standards and then say

465
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: you're not allowed to say that you change standards. The

466
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: whole system is built on this. You can't say, oh,

467
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: we're not looking at the sat in grades anymore in

468
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: college admissions for certain people, or we're not you know,

469
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: or we're going to look at them very differently, and

470
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: then say, hey, you're not allowed to point out that

471
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: we've lowered standards for certain groups. The whole system is

472
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: built on lies. That's why it's in it. By the way,

473
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: a frontive action is one of the first things, one

474
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: of the first things that I encountered as a young

475
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: adult where I was like, well, this is wrong. It

476
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: was one of the first things that made me a conservative.

477
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: I mean I was like fifteen, but I remember seeing

478
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: this and because there's how to do with college applications,

479
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: you know, because I went to a school where I

480
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: had you know, I had Filipino and Korean classmates whose

481
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: parents spoke almost no English, who came here penniless, and

482
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, they were getting fifteen eighty on the SATs

483
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: and four point zeros and they were trying to get

484
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: you know, extra money to go to state school. Not

485
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: that it's bad to go to state school, but you know,

486
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: the SUMI system is not as elite as some of

487
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: the other state schools. Meanwhile, the black and Latino kids

488
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: in my class were picking which Ivy League school they

489
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: wanted to go to, not getting into an Ivy League school.

490
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: It was like, oh, well, you know, you get to

491
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: go After a while, people look at this like what

492
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: is this.

493
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: It's the racial spoil system and it's broken. And the

494
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: argument that we have ended up in a better place,

495
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: I think is totally wrong because the idea was in

496
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties that eventually you would get judged based

497
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: on the content of your character and not the color

498
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: of your skin. And somehow we've ended up judging everything

499
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: based on the content not on the content of your character,

500
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: but the color of your skin. That's an MLK quote

501
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: what he hoped for in the nineteen sixties. Also, Buck,

502
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't even make sense from the diversity argument anymore.

503
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: And the whole diversity argument comes out of a refusal

504
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: to strike down affirmative action in the Supreme Court and

505
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: instead argue that diversity itself can be a goal worthy

506
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: of pursuing. But if you actually even read that, the

507
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: goal of the diversity argument was to allow a variety

508
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: of perspectives, what it's ended up with is you have

509
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people who may look cosmetically different,

510
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: but all have the exact same opinion. I mean, what

511
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: really matters is not diversity of color, it's diversity of thought.

512
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: I went to I mean, there were kids I went

513
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: to Amherst with and had classmates who were black, who

514
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: had parents who were university professors and doctors, and or

515
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: kids went to private, you know, forty thousand dollar year

516
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: private schools in New York and Boston and then went

517
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: to prep schools like Exeter and andover in these places

518
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: that cost now like seventy grand a year or something,

519
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: and they were in class with me and it's.

520
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: Like, what was the what was the Russian that was

521
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: faced here? I mean, you know, and by the way,

522
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: did some of them get in with better grades and

523
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: better SATs than other clouds? Probably? But I don't know,

524
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: because I know there were kids who got in who

525
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: got a leg up because of their ethnicity. I mean,

526
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: this was just obvious. This was this was what's going on.

527
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: But see when you talk about it, they're like, you're

528
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: not allowed to talk about it. You would say, why

529
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: is that?

530
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: Here's the way to think about it too. Prince Harry

531
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: and Megan Markles kids, they're going to identify as black

532
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: if they apply to American schools. Now, the reality is

533
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: they're famous, so they probably get in any way. But

534
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: when you're talking about I don't know what percentage black

535
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: is Prince Harry and Megan Markle's kid an eighth? Is

536
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: the math right on that? I think the math is

537
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: right on that they'll be like an eighth black. Are

538
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: you really telling me that Prince Harry and Megan Markles

539
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: kids are in some way discriminated against and need to

540
00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: be rectified from affirmative action. It's crazy. It's crazy that

541
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: you have kids who are incredibly privileged that use race

542
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: as the determining factor to be able to get into

543
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: a school.

544
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: You know, you were gone, Clay when they finally were

545
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: able to push Claudie and Gay the president of Harvard

546
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: design she's keeping her nine hundred thousand dollars salary to

547
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: be a professor in the political science department. But the

548
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 2: reason that there was, I mean, there was a lot

549
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: of reasons. One of the reasons there was such a

550
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: frenzy on the left to defend her is that what

551
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: was exposed was that not only was this wasn't someone

552
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: who got some tie breaking advantage. And I hate that too,

553
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: by the way, the notion of oh, it's just for

554
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: tie If it were just for tie breaking advantage, they

555
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't get so angry at the prospect of it going away.

556
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: It is massive.

557
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren wouldn't have been able to teach a community

558
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: college if she weren't claiming to be Native American, and

559
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, she's teaching at Harvard. Okay, we

560
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: know this system, we know how it works. With Claudie

561
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: and Gay, this is a woman they elevated and celebrated

562
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: as the president of Harvard University who also was not

563
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: qualified to teach at a community college. That's the truth.

564
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: She's an iarist who did no real scholarship of writing whatsoever,

565
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: of any significance.

566
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: That's the part that amazes me. She didn't even write

567
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: a book. I mean, all she does is be a professor.

568
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: She wrote, she published eleven articles. I went back, like,

569
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: let's leave aside the plagiarism aspects of her career. The

570
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: fact that she was able to become a president of

571
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: a university without any substantial element of scholarship and impressive

572
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: work is the most staggering aspect of this is just

573
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: how underqualified she was.

574
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: But that's what I mean. This is what Mark Cuban

575
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: was saying too, which is always the big lie about

576
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: this stuff, which is, oh, it's just about holistic view

577
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: and tiebreaker, and they used all this kind of euphemism. No,

578
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: it's not all right. They had a woman that, honest,

579
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'd be really qualified to teach

580
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: like a high school civics course. Who was the president

581
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: of Harvard. Yeah, you know, so it's crazy, you know,

582
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: and people are, oh, but look all the like the guy,

583
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: the people that came before her. I'm like Larry Summers

584
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: was the Treasury secretary before he was the president of Harvard, Like,

585
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: it's a pretty big job.

586
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: Also, why should you care about anybody who had a

587
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: job before any of us were alive? But why shouldn't

588
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: we be judging that anyway?

589
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: That's true. You know, online identity theft is a silent

590
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: crime that gets very little attention in the news cycle.

591
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: You'd think that with more than a million reported identity

592
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: theft scams in just the past year, though, it would

593
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: get more attention. Well, we're giving it attention because we

594
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: want to protect you, because identity theft can be devastating

595
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: to individuals, to whole families. Look, I had my identity

596
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: stolen on your own. Their systems are second to none

597
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: and monitoring online transactions looking for evidence. Once they spot something,

598
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: they notify you immediately to confirm or deny the suspicious transaction.

616
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: and the town halls and we got voting. It's actually

617
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I'm excited because I really just I don't

618
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: need everyone telling me that they know what's going to

619
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: happen in any election anymore. I just want to see

620
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: what is going to happen in some of these elections

621
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: so we can get past the agnostication phase into the

622
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: analysis and what does it mean component of it all.

623
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: But between now and then, I'm also going to with

624
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 2: my wife and my Australian Australian labradoodle end up watching

625
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: the Barbie movie. I believe at some point this weekend

626
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: I have committed to this. I think I have to

627
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: see it, and I'm going to have a fulsome review

628
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: for everyone next week on the show.

629
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm curious how many of these movies you watched. I

630
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: don't catch up on movies very often. The Wi Fi

631
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: didn't work on my flight back from Australia yesterday, so

632
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: I watched four full movies. I watched john Wick one

633
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: and two, which I had never seen, starring Keanu Reeves.

634
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: You've seen I've never seen john Wick movies. I had

635
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: never seen. Love Actually, which everybody talks about is like

636
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: the greatest romantic comedy ever. So I watched that, and

637
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: I also watched the BlackBerry movie about the rise of

638
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: BlackBerry and then and It, which all four of them

639
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: really good. I went four for four. I you know,

640
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: they had basically all the movies. I had fifteen hours

641
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: on the airplane. So I sat and I watched all

642
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: four of those movies, and I thought they were all very, very.

643
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: Solid, pretty nicer about movies than I am. I'm I

644
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: feel like these days the movies with those some of

645
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: the I saw, I.

646
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: Responded, I saw you complaining about the number of ads

647
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: that you had to watch before the ads yes.

648
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: It's I mean, they might as well just strap you

649
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: down in the chair and hold your eyeballs, you know,

650
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: to the screen or something. It was so it's ridiculous.

651
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I was man buck, you're both angry about

652
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: the number of ads and movies and also what did

653
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: you say that jeans were the most overrated of all

654
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: the clothing clothing items?

655
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, jeans are overrated. Jeans are overrated. People could get

656
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: mad at me this. Oh but what about when you're

657
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: working or stuff. I get yourself some like five eleven

658
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: cargo pants or something, you'll be fine. You don't need.

659
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: We might have to have a debate about this, because

660
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: my opinion is the most overrated of all clothing items

661
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: is the scarf.

662
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: I feel I've shot at me because I've worn scarves

663
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: indoors everybody.

664
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm just I really am very very anti scarf, especially

665
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: on men. I understand for women, Oh, the scarf ads

666
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: flavor and color and everything else. Any man who wears

667
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: a scarf, I'm gonna be honest, I trust less.

668
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to wear in my smoking jacket

669
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: and my slippers clay scarf?

670
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: Obviously, I also don't think it makes you warmer at all,

671
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: just wear a coat.

672
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 2: We'll talk about more, Have a good weekend,
