1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody to the Tuesday Clay

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. A lot of news and

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: you know this is going to be the case every

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: day until election Day. We have super tight, critical races

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: that could go either way. And we'll be joined later

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: on in the program today by Tutor Dixon, who's running

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: for the Michigan governor's seat. And I gotta say Governor

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Whitmer is among the great villains of the pandemic. And

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: so even as a New Yorker who hasn't spent too

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: much time, I've been to Michigan and Central Michigan is America.

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: That's where I was, Central Michigan, or obviously where were

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: you in Michigan. I gave a speech in central Michigan

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Like right in this if it's

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: a glove, right in the center of the hand. My

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: wife is from the Detroit area, the suburbs north of

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Oakland County. We're got married. We got engaged at Mackinaw Island,

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: northern Michigan. And as you approach the Upper Peninsula in

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: the summer is one of the most fabulous places in

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: the United States. It's a hidden jewel. I wouldn't have

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: known about it if I hadn't married a girl from Michigan.

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: But we absolutely love it. And I was up when

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I was in Michigan buck on the family vacation near Mackinaw,

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: when Tutor Dixon won the primary to officially become the

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: nominee to take on Gretchen Whimmer. So I was just

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I was outside of Grand Rapids about thirty forty minutes.

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: So that's that was my Michigan experience. Point being, the

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: people of Michigan deserved better, even the ones who are

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Democrats that are so foolish that they would vote for Whitmer.

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: They deserve not to be under the whitless tyrant Whitmer.

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: So we will talk to Tutor Dixon. Cool name, by

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the way, you know what I mean, it's a cool name.

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm just there's a lot of let mean, if this

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: were Democrats, there are a ton of badass statewide Republican

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: candidate moms, and I haven't seen a single New York

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Times article about how the rise of the Republican moms.

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Suburban moms who have fed up with COVID I mean,

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you look just at an example, Buck Michigan with Tutor Dixon,

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Christine Dreysen in Oregon. You've got Tiffany Smiley running a

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: whale of a campaign in Washington. I was with Marsha

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Blackburn last night, Senator Blackburn Buck, and she said that

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Tiffany Smiley is as good of a candidate as she

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: has ever seen running for the Senate. Very impressive. Well,

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: this is why where we keep bringing these bringing these

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: voices onto this program, so you can hear all across

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: the country and certainly in the states where they're running,

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: because these are winnable folks we could have at the

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: end of it all. The swing won't be as big

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: because the gains can't be as large, but at the

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: end of it all, we could be in certainly the

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: best position Republicans could be, in the best position they've

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: seen since two thousand and ten. I think that's that's

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: very doable. And when you look at the state races

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: and governor's mansions and state legislatures, we could be an

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: even in an even stronger position depending on how all

56
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: this stuff, how all this stuff goes, I know you're

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna deep dive specifically It's funny we you know, we

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: all have the races in this business that we dive into. Particularly,

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I find fetterman Oz utterly fascinating. I know

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: you think that's an important one too, But I'm looking

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: into that war on a day to day basis to

62
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: watch every little move that Fetterman's making, like the scrubbing

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: of BLM from his website, for example, which came out yesterday.

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk about BLM in a second. You're all in

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: on Herschel Walker winning in Georgia, and there's a lot

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: of Herschel news and some Warnock news from the last

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: twenty four hours for the state of Georgia and for

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: control of the Senate. This is critical, so we're gonna

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: get into all that. Clay will set up that deep

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: dive into the Herschel v. Warnock situation. We're gonna have,

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: as I said Tutor Dixon for Michigan on later, we're

72
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back out to our friends in

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Arizona and Nevada. Clay, we're gonna have to have back

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: on Masters and Laxalt. These are all winnable folks, winnable

75
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: at this stage that we do the right things. Now.

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned the scrubbing of BLM from the Fetterman website,

77
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: which hat tip. I think it was Jack Possobic who

78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: I saw that from on social media. And this is

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: interesting because it comes at a time where Clay We've

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: been hammering the crime issue, the numbers and just and

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the truth behind the numbers, the policy decisions that led

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: to unthinkable rise in crime and violence in cities all

83
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: across the country, in rural areas too. It's gotten really bad.

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: And BLM played a role in all of this. What's

85
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: interesting is now you have Democrat politicians who are running

86
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: from BLM. Right before an election, people that were putting

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: up BLM hashtags. Remember Nancy Pelosi kneeling in kente cloth?

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Remember these you know, these liberal

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: elites wrapped in kente cloth, bending them literally bending the knee,

90
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: taking photos because BLM mattered so much to them. Now

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is running scared from those three initials,

92
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: from that whole movement. And Kanye West. Now, I know

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: people have a lot of feelings about Kanye. He does

94
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: write some very catchy tunes, but people have a lot

95
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: of feelings about I think they're I think they're catchy, um,

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: but they they I think Kanye is fabulously talented as music.

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's very even good at what

98
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: he does. Who disliked Kanye West would have to acknowledge

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: that he is, from a musical perspective, insanely talented, right,

100
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't want him to be the chairman

101
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but I think he's

102
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: a talented music shouldn't feel that way about almost any music.

103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: I also don't. I don't trust the current like doing

104
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: anything that, you know, running the secret the health department either,

105
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, but I wouldn't musicians in general.

106
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: People talked about him running for president. I don't think,

107
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: by the way, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs

108
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: is a good choice either. So we got a whole

109
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: bunch of problems. But Kanye at over what was this

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: over the weekend? I'm trying to get the date right here.

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: He was at a fashion show in Paris. I think

112
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: that's right, Yes, Parish, Yeah, Paris week fashion show. I

113
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: have never been invited, which is just such a slap

114
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: in the face because I am all about the fashion.

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: T shirts, sweatshirts, yeah, but he wore a White Lives

116
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Matter sweatshirt. Candice Owens, our friend was right there with him,

117
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: also photographed in a White Lives Matter sweatshirt. And then

118
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Kanye's quote here is everyone knows. This is the quote

119
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: from Kanye West. Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam.

120
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: And I see it here and I say, if he's

121
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: talking about the organization and the millions of dollars, yes, yes,

122
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: it was a scam. And if he's talking about meaning

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: a political scam, as in this was emotion over reason

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: that did nothing good for anyone, also true Clay, what

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: a reckoning BLM has had. Yeah, what I would say

126
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: about Kanye is this artists in general should provoke conversation,

127
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: and they should be enmeshed in some way in nuance,

128
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: because art without nuance is propaganda. Right, doesn't mean that

129
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it still can't be impressive, but art without nuance, just

130
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: think about it propaganda. And what I have seen in

131
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: America is that the creative class buck the people who

132
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: would have been at Woodstock in the nineteen sixties, are

133
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly now the creative class in the back pocket of

134
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: big government, in the back pocket of big business. They

135
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: are the least rebellious creative class that a man Erica

136
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: has ever created. I mean, just think about this big hypothesis.

137
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Think about whether you, depending on your age woodstock, the

138
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: muhammad Alis of the world were rebels standing up against

139
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: a larger power structure. Most of our artists today are

140
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: more stable aspects of the existing power structure. And BLM

141
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: is not a rebellious process. When your deodorant company is

142
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: sending you out an email saying we stand with BLM,

143
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: this is not a controversial process. Well, it's interesting because

144
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: we often hear about the threats to our democracy, and

145
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: no matter how someone sounds when they say it, that's

146
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: how it processes in my head. Because the threats to

147
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: our democracy come with three masks, five Ukraine flags, and

148
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: announced pronouns. It's amazing how those things, all those things

149
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: all go together. You know, on the menu of the

150
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: lib you gotta have Ukraine mask, vaccination needles in your

151
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Twitter profile, double mask walking outside. We all know this, right,

152
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: but the people that say this. One of the challenges

153
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: that I always made to the narrative of Trump is

154
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: such a tyrant, an authoritarian, a fascist. The entire media

155
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: was opposed to him and got more famous and more

156
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: rich based upon their unhinged opposition to him. I actually

157
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: spend a lot of I'm a little strange this way.

158
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time reading about totalitariatives and

159
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: specifically the Soviet Union, and I find it fascinating. I

160
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: find it fascinating because it's a window into how evil

161
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: in the modern world can exist at that level and

162
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: exert that amount of control. And you know what's always

163
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the case, Clay, the authoritarians in the pot and the

164
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: political sphere have the media and the artists and everybody

165
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: else doing their bidding. Now, now, which side of the

166
00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: political spectrum does that actually apply to? It? Ain't conservatism exactly? Right?

167
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: And Buck, I'll build on this. In college, I got

168
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: into a totalitarian film study circle right, this is awesome. Yeah.

169
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I took um German UH, German films, multiple German films,

170
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: courses about the rise of Hitler, Lenny Reef installed the

171
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: way that they used Hitler and the Nazis film in

172
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: order to convey majesty to their cause. Uh and also

173
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Russian cinema No. No Nine. Okay, But our professor was

174
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: a Soviet refugee who had been a child actor in

175
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: uh In. He was an amazing professor. He had been

176
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: a child actor in these totalitarian cinemas in the Soviet

177
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Union when he was a kid. And so his thesis

178
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,479
Speaker 1: and he was I mean, it was brilliant. His thesis

179
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: was that totalitarian regimes all create the same kind of

180
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: films and build off of each other. So the German,

181
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the Russian, and it really is a window into how

182
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: the how the the larger classes come to see the

183
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: country and the struggle so to speak. And what Let

184
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: me just go back to Kanye first. Sec here Buck

185
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: and I bet there's not very many people who have

186
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: watched as much Russian cinema and uh and and and

187
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: German can You've got to give us a wreck. I mean,

188
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: first of all, you know this is this is a

189
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: whole other come with more than civil war camp like

190
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: you were in a totalitarian film school session like this is.

191
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: I will hit you with this. I can already see

192
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: USA today is going to have a story like Nazi

193
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: film enthusiast Clay Travis Wax is eloquent on German cinema

194
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: on the Clay and Buck show. Just get ready for it.

195
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: But let me just hit you with this I'll tell

196
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you a couple of movie suggestions when we come back

197
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: on that that old school. Let me just hit you

198
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: with this. People were getting fired for saying all lives matter,

199
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,359
Speaker 1: for saying anything, for saying white lives matter, that was unacceptable.

200
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: That was an assault. Kanye is in speaking out alongside

201
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: of KANDASO and who's also very smart, they are attacking

202
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: the liberal hegemony here that you could only say black

203
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: lives matter and pointing out, as great artist would like Kanye,

204
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: the absurdity of some of the lines that are being

205
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: drawn in our country, particularly as they pertain to identity politics.

206
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: And I would say Buck, a great artist should truly

207
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: be criticized all the time because you are not pushing

208
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: forward thought and challenging people's perspectives if you're only being praised.

209
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: This is one of these moments where you know it's

210
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: having the two of us sit here. I would assume

211
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: this story, like my big thing from the story is

212
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: BLM is now something that people can say was a scam.

213
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: Never mind, I've been saying that it made everything worse

214
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: for everybody. You see this more as an artist in

215
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: Kanye breaking with the authoritarian mold of American artists, music, etc.

216
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Today interesting And you know, we both see this thing

217
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, this is this is BLM has

218
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: become politically toxic. And you say, this is artists actually

219
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: doing what artists are supposed to do. Fascinating. Yeah, And

220
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: I would say this too for people out there who

221
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: don't listen to Kanye's music. Kanye's early music is very

222
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: religious and spiritual. And one of the things that he

223
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: would say is they say, you know, and again I'm paraphrasing,

224
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: but you can't make a song about how much you

225
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: love Jesus and have it show up on radio for airplay.

226
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: And that was provocative. Kanye was willing to look at

227
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: his religious faith and say I'm going to mix this

228
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: with the rat world in a provocative way, which others

229
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: were not. So I now also know something new about you.

230
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: Some people just won't watch I wonder if you speak

231
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Russian or German at all, because if you're watching movies

232
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: in that language, you're going to be reading a lot

233
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: of subtitles, right, So you're a foreign language movie subtitle

234
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: enthusiast just like me. I will say this, Buck, I'm

235
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: actually a subtitle enthusiast in English. I was going to

236
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: ask you about this. I'm like, i watched this new

237
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: House of the Dragon show and I'm getting to be

238
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: an old man and my wife makes fun of me

239
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: and I can't hear the dialogue. Well, and I'm even

240
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: thinking because my kids buck I know I've talked about

241
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: this with you. One of them will not read. I'm

242
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: not sure that he's twelve. I'm not sure he's ever

243
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: actually read a book. I mean, this is this is

244
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: a major issue in our household. Right I'm thinking about

245
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: making him have to read his television shows, so at

246
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: least he's getting used to that process. It's driving me crazy.

247
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: He's driving me crazy. No substitute for hard work out

248
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: there no true shortcuts. That being said, you know what

249
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: testosterone helps, and it'll help you to have better energy,

250
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: better vitality, them vigor, all of it. Be the anti

251
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden Whitehouse. Right now, you're looking around, you're saying,

252
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's a disaster. Everything he touches his turn to crap. Well,

253
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: maybe the guy could help himself out if he just

254
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: had a little bit of testosterone. Look, I want chalk

255
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: to send I don't want secret service to show up,

256
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: but I would like for them to send free testosterone

257
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: to the Biden White House. Just a gift, big bow.

258
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Send it right up there any Democrat who wants it.

259
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: They can also get into the Senate. They can get

260
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: into the House. Make a difference for all those loser

261
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Democrats with no testosterone. Fact, maybe it'll make them feel

262

Speaker 1: in klaytro Spuck Sexton Show. We are headed up to

271
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: great state of Michigan, where my wife is from, where

272
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: I was married, and where I was vacationing during the

273
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: summer when it is truly fabulous. When Tutor Dixon won

274
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: the official nomination for the Republican Party in a dominant fashion,

275
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: she is now running against a woman that I am

276
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: describing as awful as both a governor and a steward

277
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: of the state, Gretchen Whitmer, And we are joined now

278
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: by Tutor Dixon. Congratulations, I know it's been a while

279
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: on the primary win. We are five weeks out. Can

280
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: you take yourself and finally solve this ridiculous Whitmer era

281
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: and end it? What do you need from us and

282
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: what are you hearing from the people of Michigan about

283
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the governor's race five weeks from today? Well, we believe

284
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: we can. Right now, we are in a situation where

285
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: she has spent twenty three She and her allies have

286
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: spent twenty three million dollars against us, and we're just

287
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: now getting back out on the airwaves because in our

288
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: allies are just getting back out because we had a

289
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: primary and she did not have a primary. So Republicans

290
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: in many of these swing states, I would say it

291
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: has definitely been a challenge to be able to build

292
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: back those resources. But we are in great shape right now.

293
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: We are just coming off of a rally in northern

294
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: Michigan and it was fantastic. We had so many people

295
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: showed up the entire place with pack You know that

296
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: we had a rally on the southeast side with Donald

297
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Trump at President Trump here on Friday or on Saturday

298
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: night this past Saturday night. The energy in the state

299
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: is really amazing because when you lock people down, when

300
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: you take away their livelihoods, when you take away their education,

301
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: when their kids' futures are at risk, people become very

302
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: energized to make sure that can never happening in because

303
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, of course, we are

304
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: all freedom loving Americans, and we believe that that's the

305
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: most important thing that we have our freedoms, that we

306
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: are able to have the American dreams, that our children

307
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: are able to have a great future. Tutor, when you

308
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: speak to people who are persuadable in your state, is

309
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: there any doubt in their minds that what Whitmer did?

310
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean she Governor Whitmer really tried to muscle out,

311
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Andrew Cuomo and Gavin Newsom of New

312
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: York and California, respectively, for the most hardcore and now

313
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: as we know, insane, debilitating and worthless COVID lockdowns of

314
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: any governor of any state. Do Michiganders all see that

315
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: or are some still a little caught up in the

316
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: propaganda and think that if they get shot number five

317
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: and stand six feet away from somebody, maybe it'll keep

318
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: them safe. I'm talking about the persuadables. It's so interesting

319
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: that you use that word propaganda, because we were talking

320
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: about this this morning. I was saying to one of

321
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: the people on my team, it's so difficult in a

322
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: state like ours, where you really have a strong propaganda

323
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: media that is going out and saying, you know, she's great,

324
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: She's done all of these things. But when you talk

325
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: to folks and you say, you know, you're seeing these

326
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: commercial things. She's brought all of these jobs to the state.

327
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: Do you know that while Gretchen Whitmer has been governor,

328
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: we've lost eighty two thousand jobs. Do you know that

329
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: when other governors, even Andrew Cuomo, decided that it was

330
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: no longer a good policy to put COVID positive patients

331
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: into nursing homes, Gretchen Whitmer doubled down and is now

332
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: refusing to release the final report on how many seniors

333
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: we lost in this state. Do you know that when

334
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: she was given the opportunity to get kids back on

335
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: track with reading scholarships, she thought that gave parents too

336
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: much control, so she vetoed that opportunity for our students,

337
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: and now we have a sixty percent failure rate in

338
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: our third grade reading level across the state. These are

339
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: all things that pretty quickly people say, wow, this is catastrophic,

340
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: and wow, the education system went from thirty eighth in

341
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: the nation, which wasn't a great standing to now we're

342
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: looking at being in the bottom five states in the

343
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: nation coming up soon. People realize that that means the

344
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: future for a workforce, the future for businesses here is

345
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: very bleak if we don't turn things around. And Governor

346
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Whitmer is not coming out and saying anything about what

347
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: she would do to get people back on track. She

348
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: has offered nothing in the form of a plan for

349
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: the state, nothing in the form of a plan for

350
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: small businesses. She has not brought more jobs to this state.

351
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: She has not helped developers who want to develop in

352
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: the state. In fact, she has created such a weaponized

353
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: state agency conglomerate against business that businesses now consider the

354
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: state the enemy of business. And they say, we feel

355
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: as though the state sees us as the enemy of

356
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the state. We talk to them, We talked to folks

357
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: about that Look, we can be partners again. Look at

358
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: the state that are thriving, that are partners with their businesses,

359
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: the tennessee'es, the Kentucky's, the Texas is that are taking

360
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: the business away from Michigan right now. We met with

361
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: one of our largest manufacturers the other day and they said,

362
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to very secretly tell you that we are

363
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: building new factories and they are all in Texas. Because

364
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: working with the Rover regulation in the state of Michigan

365
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: and the inability to communicate with the top executive officer,

366
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: the chief executive officer of the state, that governor, has

367
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: been such a nightmare. We have decided to build in

368
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Texas and leave Michigan. We cannot afford to have more

369
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: businesses leading eighty two thousand jobs is way too many.

370
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: To think about more of our businesses leading the state

371
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: is catastrophic. Tutor, you have four daughters, and one of

372
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: the things we've been talking about on the program is

373
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: the amount of angry moms and dads as well out

374
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: there about schools being shut down. You just mentioned the

375
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: loss of learning that Michigan has seen happen as a

376
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: result of Gretchen Whitmer's awful stewardship relating to COVID. How

377
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: much do you hear from moms and dads out there

378
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: still furious about her leadership there and what the cost

379
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: were born by children over they're not being able to

380
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: go to school. I just actually, about five minutes ago,

381
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: had a mom say to me, what you said about

382
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: our public school system not having enough students. My son

383
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: would be a senior this year and he's so far behind.

384
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: He was embarrassed, and he decided to take himself out

385
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: of school and get go to night classes to try

386
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: to get his geed. Because he's so embarrassed that he's

387
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: so far behind, he decided to get his senior year up.

388
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: That was the first time I had heard something like that.

389
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: But we know we've lost a massive amount of students

390
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: from our public education system. The public education system has

391
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: been harmed so significantly, and we have to figure out

392
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: how to get that system back on track parents across

393
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: the state. I had another mom say to me, I

394
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: have you're right. I have four daughters. Two of my

395
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: daughters will go into fourth grade this year. We have twins,

396
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: and one of my girlfriends her son will go into

397
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: fourth grade as well. She said to me, can your

398
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: girls read? And I said, well, my girls have been

399
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: in person. And she said, my son has been in

400
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: and out of school for two years because of this,

401
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: and he missed that crucial step. And she said, and

402
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: we're parents to sit with him every day. I sit

403
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: with him every day and try to help him read.

404
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: And the school says they don't have the resources to

405
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: help me. She said, what is happening to all of

406
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: the kids that are in a worse situation than us. Well,

407
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The kids that are in the most

408
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: critical situations are the ones that are being hurt the

409
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: worst by this. And where does that leave them? Where

410
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: is their American dream? Where is their future? If they

411
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: don't have family members at home that have the time

412
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: to sit with them and get them back on track.

413
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: It falls on us as members of the state to

414
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: say we're going to come around public ed and make

415
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: sure that those resources, those tutoring hours are there to

416
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: make sure that there is no wrong path and for

417
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: any student in the state. We're speaking of Tutor Dixon,

418
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: she's running for the governor's office in Michigan. Tutor, just

419
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: one more for you. We've only got about a minute

420
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: or so but the crime issue has overtaken even in

421
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: the polling now abortion, So more people are motivated on

422
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: crime than on abortion, one way or the other. So

423
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: many states we talked about here, the cities have been

424
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: in really rough shape in the last few years under

425
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Democrat rule at administrations Detroit and Grand Rapids, Lansing. What's

426
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: going on in the cities in Michigan and what has

427
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer done to try to turn things around? First

428
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: of all, she's done nothing. But I would say this

429
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: is directly related to the school issue we're just talking about,

430
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: because we see kids that didn't return to school in

431
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: our most vulnerable areas. We've seen a thirty percent increase

432
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: in homicides in the state of Michigan and over seven

433
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent increase in carjackings. Wow, this is a catastrophic

434
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: problem in the state. And she has offer no solution.

435
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: What It's exactly what I'm saying as we've gone and said, okay, well,

436
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: what is your plan? What is your plan for the future.

437
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: The only thing that anybody has gotten out of her

438
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: so far is I've put record dollars into education. That's great.

439
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: Funding education is very important. But we're looking at what's

440
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: coming out of education, not just what's going into education.

441
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: And right now, if you end up stealing on education

442
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: from these kids, you can actually predict your prison population

443
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: based on your literacy rates. And we're seeing the effects

444
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: of these children that were kept out of school and

445
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: then decided not to go back in the fact that

446
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: we have a massive increase in crime in the state.

447
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Tutor Dion, Tutor, We're trying to mobilize our michigand or

448
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: audience to help you get across the finish line here

449
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: because it would mean so much for the people in

00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,280

00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: or four. I think Christine Dreysen, running an Oregon for governor,

464
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: has three or four. You'd think somebody would put together

465
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: a story about all of these badass Republican moms running

466
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: for statewide office. If these were Democrats, be on the

467
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: front page of the New York Times. All three of

468
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: them are incredibly accomplished and again running with young kids

469
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: because they're fed up with what they saw from Democrats.

470
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: That to me is how Republicans win, because those women,

471
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: certainly better than you would me, can talk to all

472
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: the moms in the neighborhood and say we got to

473
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: get things fixed. I'm wearing them right now. Look, let

474
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: me tell you this before I dive into how much

475
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: I love them my slippers. One of my most important

476
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: mantras for life is you need comfortable feet. I really

477
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: mean that. I tell everybody that I know. I'm out

478
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: on a date with Carrie. She says, should I wear herols?

479
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: I say, no, wear flats. Okay, be comfortable. I want

480
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: your feet comfortable. I want my feet comfortable. You can

481
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: enjoy your day. You don't have the same energy. So

482
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: your footwear is critical. I mean, footwear is everything to

483
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: your day to day and that's why you gotta check

484

00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Every day. I come in here to the radio studio,

488
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: I kick off my outdoor sneakers and I put on

489
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: my slippers. I love them now I can wear them outside.

490
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: I have a pair at home. I walk the dog

491
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: on them sometimes. I'm babysitting to Lula this week. They're

492
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: the most comfortable things you're ever going to have on

Speaker 1: your feet. They're amazing. I've got two pairs for myself.

514
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us for listening. In Russia Ukraine,

515
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: the war that is still underway and getting more attention

516
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: here in the US than it has in a while

517
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: because of some of the recent changes on the ground.

518
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: First off, Russia recently held a referendum it's being called

519
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: the Sham referendum in the West, by effectively giving a

520
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: or holding a vote to join the Russian Federation in

521
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: the eastern southeastern areas of Ukraine, the Dawn Boss and

522
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: some of the contiguous areas. But in recent days the

523
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: Ukrainian military has been on the offensive and is getting

524
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into territory that had been seized previously

525
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: by the Russians. There is battlefield momentum behind the Ukrainians

526
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: right now. We also just had the news break in

527
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: the last hour that the U government is sending another

528
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty five million dollars to Ukraine to

529
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: assist it militarily. We and some of our allies in

530
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: Europe are funding this war. We should remember that we're

531
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: not just helping a little bit. We are funding it.

532
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: We are writing the checks. Without us, the Ukrainian war

533
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: machine would come to a screeching halt. So Ukraine is

534
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: getting near the doorstep of the Dunbass region right now,

535
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: and people are asking some very important questions. How does

536
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: this end? And what if it goes really badly? Let's

537
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: start with the hat as this end, because this was

538
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: particularly interesting got a lot of attention online. Elon Musk

539
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: tweeted out the following and this we're talking about millions

540
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: and millions of eyeballs on this exchange. Oh, the soon

541
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: to be owner of Twitter, by the way, put this

542
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: out on Twitter. That'll be fascinating. By the way, I

543
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: mean the influence that he will have. He already has

544
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot on Twitter, but once he's the owner as well,

545
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: that'll be really interesting. But back to Russia Ukraine, he said,

546
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Ukraine Russia piece, and he laid it out as follows

547
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision, Russia leaves

548
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: if that is the will of the people. Crimea, formerly

549
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: part of Russia, as it has been since seventeen eighty

550
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: three until Khrushchev's mistake water supply to Crimea, assured Ukraine

551
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: remains neutral. He also then added to this tweet, he

552
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: still very much supports Ukraine, but I'm convinced that a

553
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to

554
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: Ukraine and possibly the world. Clay, before we get into

555
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: the this goes really bad, as in a nuclear strike,

556
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: which is my friends, This is not fearmongering. Very serious people,

557
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: including that you know you would trust iologically aligned with me,

558
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: with Clay, with all of us, see this as a possibility. Now.

559
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: No one's saying it's imminent, No one's saying analyzing, I'm

560
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: curious for your experience if you were analyzing probabilities, right,

561
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: because we all have to think probabilistically, because we don't

562
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: know what Russia is going to do. What kind of odds,

563
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: what kind of probability would you put on Russia actually

564
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: using in some form or fashion a nuclear weapon if

565
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: they break through into the Donbass region and the Russians

566
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: risk getting rolled up because remember, your greatest losses are

567
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: usually taken in retreat, right, It's very hard if anyone

568
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: who's a student of military history knows. And first of all,

569
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: in ancient battle and ancient warfare, I find fascinating huge

570
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: majority of the casualties were the moment the lines broken.

571
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: People run, that's when they get mowed down. The same

572
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: thing is it can be possible in modern warfare where

573
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: if there's a hasty retreat, you can end up taking

574
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 1: substantial losses, especially if the army is not The Russians

575
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: at this point are not very well equipped, very well organized, disciplined,

576
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: and have top level fighters on the front lines. I

577
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: think if they break through into the dawn Bass region,

578
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: you're looking at a twenty to thirty percent chance of

579
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: a tactical nuclear weapon being used. That's I mean, so

580
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty percent is a real probability. Like if

581
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: I told you right now, hey, you're about to get

582
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: into a car, and there's a twenty or thirty percent

583
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: chance you're going to get into a car accident, you'd

584
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: be like, I'd be on that east scooter real fast. Yeah. Right.

585
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people will be like, I don't need

586
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: to drive today, all right, So twenty or thirty percent

587
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: might be thirty might be high. I mean, if you're

588
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: really you know, I'm just giving a range. Yeah, yeah,

589
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people might say more like twenty. But

590
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's realistic. I think the percentages matter, Clay,

591
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: because it's realistic to the point where we actually have

592
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: to talk about it now. It's not something to ignore.

593
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: So okay, we'll take it twenty twenty percent. What I'm

594
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: blown away by, buck is there is, then woe end

595
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: twenty percent chance one in five that Joe Biden or

596
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: someone advising Joe Biden is going to have to figure

597
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: out how to respond to a potential use of tactical

598
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, which there's no I mean, you tell me

599
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, But I don't even think there's any

600
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: precedent to rely upon to have an idea of what

601
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: we should do. And not only US, certainly NATO, allies,

602
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: all these other European countries who are certainly much closer

603
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: to Russia and probably less defended. What in the world

604
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: is the response if that occurs. So Russia, and he

605
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: will probably have heard people talk about this before. Russian

606
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: military doctrine has something called escalate to de escalate, which

607
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: is effectively and it can mean different things in different contexts.

608
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: Obviously we're talking about military doctrine. And as the great

609
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: strategist Mike Tyson once said, everybody has a plan until

610
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: they get punched in the face. So these these are guidelines.

611
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: These are not hard and fast rules. But the guideline

612
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: of escalate to de escalate is if your territory is

613
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: invaded and you are on the defensive, you go nuclear

614
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: to then effectively stop, to blunt that advance and say

615
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: all right, let's all calm down, let's all stop where

616
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: we are a limited tactical nuclear strike. That's what escalated

617
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: to the escalated is effectively. I mean, it's almost like

618
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: a you know, we're talking about nuclear war here, but

619
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: you know the concept of like a brush back pitch,

620
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: except in this case you'll be a brush back pitch

621
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: that has thousands of casualties. It's not a multi city

622
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: IICBM strike meant to kill millions of people. It's meant

623
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: to say, all right, you know, we're we're ready to

624
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: hit you with something really big here, you better step off.

625
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: That's escalate to de escalate. People are also pointing out

626
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: that the Russians went in the Soviet era, there was

627
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: a greater sense of if if if the Soviets fired

628
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: a nuke. There were nukes all over Europe. Okay, we

629
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: had placed them all over Europe that they knew if

630
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: they fired a nuke they were getting hit with a nuke,

631
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, and then it could assured destruction in the

632
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, and it could cause that chain reaction to

633
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: to mad mutually assured destruction. Okay. So here for example,

634
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: just to give everyone a sense of when we talk

635
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: about the foreign policy intelligentsia, David petres I remember I

636
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: was in the Iraq office when he was the fourth

637
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Star in charge of Iraq, and he was a very

638
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: imperious fellow. So I was in the CIA's rock office

639
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: when David Petraeus was managing that war, and he spent

640
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot of time cultivating allies in the press and

641
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of anyway, that's something that you know,

642
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: he was as much a politician as a four star

643
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: general in a lot of ways at that time. Here

644
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: he is clay on what we would do if this

645
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: was just ad over the weekend, if they did use

646
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: a tact limited yield, limited strike nuclear weapon. You have

647
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: to take that seriously. And Jake Sullivan has publicly stated

648
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: that the US has communicated to Russia what would happen

649
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: in response to that, and what would happen? Well, again,

650
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: I have deliberately not talked to Jake about this. Yeah,

651
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just to give you a hypothetical, we would

652
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: respond by leading a NATO a collective effort that would

653
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: take out every Russian Conrenian conventional force that we can

654
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: see and identify on the battlefield Ukraine and also in

655
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: Crimea and every ship on the in the Black Seafloce.

656
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: So it would bring America and NATO into the war.

657
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: It would be an Article five situations basically, not an

658
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: Article five because they're not part of NATO. What it

659
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: would be it would be a US and NATO response.

660
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: He's saying, We're just going to conventionally destroy every Russian

661
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: military installation and target all personnel on the Black Sea

662
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: and in Ukraine. What does he think the Russian response

663
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: to that would be? And this is where thing, folks,

664
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: former CIA director, former four star general. Media loves him,

665
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: which is always a tell that you gotta worry. But

666
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: media loves him. He had a little mishap years ago.

667
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: Remember what the classified and the lady writing the biography

668
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: side note. But yeah, Clay, this is this is the

669
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: consensus opinion, and it should be scary to people over

670
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: the dun Boss. I mean, can we ask this question,

671
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: how much do you or I really care over who

672
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: rules the dun Boss region of eastern Ukraine. Zero. I mean,

673
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I care zero who's in

674
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: charge of the don Buss region of Ukraine. I understand

675
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: why Ukrainians care. I understand why you would care if

676
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: you lived there. It impacts my life in no way.

677
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: Just being honest, I wouldn't want my kids going to

678
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: war to fight over Ukraine border, especially because we don't

679
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: even seem to care about the United States border. I

680
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: would rather we have spent how many hundred billions of

681
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: dollars have we sent Ukraine? Now I would have liked

682
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: to have seen that money spent on our own southern

683
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: border personally. But this is why I think this is

684
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: so scary. If you and I don't think it's a

685
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: crazy analysis at all, there's roughly a twenty percent chance

686
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: that Putin could use a tactical, tactical nuke. Does anyone

687
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: out there trust Joe Biden's ability to figure out what

688
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: the response should be and not drag US hamhandedly into

689
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: a World War three like situation. We've sent a roughly

690
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: sixteen billion in change so far and direct military and

691
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: security assistance. I thought we had sent more than that,

692
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: but okay, yeah, um no, that's I wanted to pull

693
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: out the number. I mean, that's from the State Department.

694
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: They say US military assistance has been about they say

695
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: fifteen point two billion, but that was as of last month.

696
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: We've sent billions, well, let's call it twenty billion. Roughly

697
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars in one year is a lot of money, obviously,

698
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: and it's all going that and that's money for military hardware,

699
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: that's ammunition, that's you know, that's not even talking about

700
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: the rebuilding, which I'm just going to note the people

701
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: that have the five Ukraine flags and their bios are

702
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: also going to say that US taxpayer dollars will be

703
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: like a limited Marshall plan or something. We're gonna have

704
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: to rebuild because even in the areas where the Ukrainians

705
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: are now pushing back Russians, cities are cities and towns

706
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: are level. I mean they're effectively turned to rubble. They're gone.

707
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: So there'll be a massive rebuilding effort. But this brings

708
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: me back to Elon Musk raised the prospect of a piece,

709
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: and Elon's a smart guy. Yeah he's not a global

710
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: strategist or expert. But to people who always pull that card,

711
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: by the way, I want to say, do these idiots

712
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: think Joe Biden is because he's the president? You know,

713
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: like people are allowed to have opinions and make the

714
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: case based on the merit of what they say and

715
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: not always running to the credentialism form a Foreign policy

716
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: experts and I know them, and I've worked at their

717
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: think tanks and I worked at the CIA. A lot

718
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: of them are among the most group think addled, biggest

719
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: jackasses on the planet who never admit they're wrong. So

720
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: Elon puts out there this plan, Clay, did you see people? Yeah,

721
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: caused a firestorm. Oh, it's like Russian propagand or Okay,

722
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: what is their plan? Because if the plan is, we

723
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: keep sending newer, shinier military equipment and other things to

724
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: the Ukrainians, not to mention whatever intelligence assistance we're giving

725
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: them at other things until every Russian has pulled out

726
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: of every area of Ukraine. Keep in mind they've been

727
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: in Ukraine for eight years. Now. Do we think that

728
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin may just say, you know what, just to

729
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: give a little just to give a little taste of

730
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: what could come here, I'm going to fire off a

731
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: tackle nuke at a concentration of Ukrainian forces and then

732
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: see what the West does. I don't think that's impossible.

733
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: Nobody who's watching these things, it's impossible. But we're drifting

734
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: toward this. Yeah. Look, and I would say this about

735
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: Elon Musk And I'm not an expert in what the

736
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: foreign policy backgrounds are of many of these different people,

737
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: but when you build multibillion dollar companies, multiple of them,

738
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: you've been pretty good at analyzing data risk and coming

739
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: up with a plan that makes sense in a highly

740
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: competitive endeavor. In other words, what's harder to do decide

741
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: that you want to become a foreign policy expert and

742
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: get hired by a think tank or build two multibillion

743
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: dollar businesses. I think almost everybody out there's like, you know,

744
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm building the multi billion dollar businesses. So I would

745
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: be more inclined to trust the opinion of somebody who's

746
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: been able to do that than I would to somebody

747
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: who has decided to be a foreign policy and Elon

748
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: also sent almost one hundred million dollars worth of gear

749
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: for the Starlink satellite internet system, so he's basically kept

750
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: Ukraine on the web, which is critical for communications battlefield

751
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 1: than otherwise. So I think he should get a say.

752
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: And as an interesting he's buying Twitter, the whole point

753
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: of which is that everybody can get a say. The

754
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: mark the digital marketplace of ideas could soon be made real.

755
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: My other thing, Clay, is I wish he was happening

756
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: sooner because can you imagine the effect it would have

757
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: on the election if Twitter all of a sudden became

758
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: a place where you could really say what you want

759
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: to say and not be you know, say what you

760
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: want to say about COVID about elections. All of a sudden,

761
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: hashtags stole an election won't catch you ban. We'll talk

762
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: more about all this coming up here, folks, in just

763
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: a moment. The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation has been

764
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: supporting America's heroes and their families since nine to eleven.

765
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: Christopher Slotman is one of those heroes. Christopher was a

766
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: dedicated fifteen year FDN Y member who later became a

767
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: staff sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. He was

768
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: serving our country in Afghanistan when he was killed in

769
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: action by an ied in twenty nineteen, leaving behind his

770
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: wife and three young children. When a first responder or

771
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: military service member doesn't come home and young children are

772
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to

773
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: lift the financial burden and bring their family stability. Christopher's

774
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: family can stay in the house that Christopher and his

775
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: wife picked to raise their kids, the house that the

776
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: kids feel safe in, the house where everyone showed up

777
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: to support the family. After Christopher's death, Tunnel to Towers

778
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: honored his service and paid off the mortgage. Thanks to

785
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay Anne Buck. We're gonna talk to

786
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: you about the situation in Ukraine with Russia and a

787
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: foreign policy establishment consensus that we're closer to a nuclear

788
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: war or a nuclear strike at least than we have

789
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: been at any time in decades. But in the meantime,

790
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: CNN just so you know, on the really important stories,

791
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: quoting Liz Cheney, just now that the GOP is embracing

792
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: the insurrection even more, CNN really with their finger on

793
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: the pulse. We've got an economy crater, in crime everywhere,

794
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: a wide open border inflation so high that people are

795
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: running up credit card debt, can't pay their bills, can't

796
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: afford gas and food. But let's go to Liz Cheney

797
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: now for her thoughts on the insurrection. They're completely still

798
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: at CNN out of their minds. But there was breaking

799
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: news right in the commercial break before we get to

800
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine situation, the war over there. Elon Musk,

801
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: this is from the New York Post proposed Twitter deal

802
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: going through at the forty four billion dollars ask price.

803
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: I have so many thoughts on this, but nobody I

804
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: know is more up to speed and more fired up

805
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: about the Twitter acquisition than my main man, Clay Travis. Sir,

806
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: what say you about this breaking news? You want to

807
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: talk about change from German film discussion and Russian film

808
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: discussion to what's going to happen with Twitter. It appears,

809
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: based on a Bloomberg report that Elon Musk has proposed

810
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: going ahead with the purchase. This has been a tumultuous

811
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: story and I understand a lot of people out there

812
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: like why does this matter? I do think if this happens,

813
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: it's significant and it's a big win four team reality

814
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: for our side, for team sanity. The stock price surged

815
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: on a report that Elon Musk. Remember they were going

816
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: to have a trial in about two weeks in a

817
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: Delaware over whether this could go through. Elon Musk fifty

818
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: four dollars and twenty cents was his proposed purchase price,

819
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: and then the stock price fell all the way I'm

820
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: looking right now, buck to around thirty two dollars a

821
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: share in early July when Musk said he was going

822
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: to walk away from the deal, and as soon as

823
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: this came out from Bloomberg, who obviously is very well

824
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: plugged in Bloomberg News in the market based economy, stock

825
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: prices nearly six points. It was then paused. They're not

826
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: allowing training to take place on Twitter pending news. But

827
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: it appears that Elon Musk may be very close to

828
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: officially buying Twitter as this trial date was getting closer.

829
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: I believe October seventeenth was the first date set for

830
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: the trial in front of the judge in chancery court,

831
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken in Delaware. So this is a

832
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: This would be a big deal for Team Reality, for

833
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: Team Sanity, for those of us who want to be

834
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: able to share our actual opinions on social media. So

835
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: put a pen in it. That is breaking news and

836
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: we will keep you updated as more evidence or data

837
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: comes out related to this story. I would love to

838
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: be able to use Twitter without the constant throttling and

839
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: restrictions and suspensions and all the nonsense that's gone on.

840
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: But more than that, Clay, I honestly get or maybe

841
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: equally excited, I should say about the process respect of finally,

842
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: after years and years of one of the big three

843
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: social media platforms, right Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, finally be able

844
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: to see what kind of in kind donations to Democrats

845
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: Twitter was really making by throttling certain accounts, by limiting

846
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: the reach of certain ideas. And we all know about

847
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop. I would ask everybody to think

848
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 1: about this. They did that openly. Now, if we get

849
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: in there and have somebody who wants to do a

850
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: full audit, and no one can say no because he

851
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: owns it, he's the boss, we do a full audit

852
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: of Twitter, you will see, in my opinion that Twitter

853
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: was engaged in the most massive campaign of election interference

854
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: and propaganda for Democrats that we have ever seen in

855
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: the modern history of this country. That is what I

856
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: believe we will find out. I think you're right. Okay,

857
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: we do have official breaking news now, Buck. This is

858
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: from the Wall Street Journal, just popped up as an alert. Elon,

859
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just read the article. This is from Kara

860
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: Lombardo at the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk has offered

861
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: to close his forty four billion dollars deal to buy

862
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: Twitter on the terms he originally agreed to, according to

863
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: a person familiar with the matter, an unexpected twist that

864
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: could allow the two sides to avert a high stakes

865
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: trial set to begin soon. The article here says that

866
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: Musk's lawyers sent that proposal to Twitter's lawyers overnight Monday,

867
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: filed a letter confidentially with the Delaware Chancery Court ahead

868
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: of an emergency hearing scheduled for Tuesday. If Twitter accepted

869
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: the proposal, and I don't know why they wouldn't, Buck,

870
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 1: If this Wall Street Journal report is correct that Elon

871
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: Musk has agreed to buy on the terms that he

872
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: originally agreed to, then two sides would not have their

873
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: October seventeenth trial. Again the stock has been pulled off

874
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: the market. But at his Wall Street Journal And the

875
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: interesting trajectory of this story, Buck was remember what happened

876
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: Initially it was the Blue check left wing brigade said,

877
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, we can't have Elon Musk buy Twitter.

878
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna let people say whatever they want on the

879
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: platform and then Musk kind of outplayed him and said, Okay,

880
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: I'll pay forty four billion dollars for the company. Here's

881
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: my offer. And then he tried to walk away, and

882
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: the same blue check mark brigade was like, who does

883
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: Elon Musk think he is? He just he could buy Twitter,

884
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: and now he could walk away, so we could end

885
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: up back with the blue check brigade being angry before

886
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: all is said and done. But this is again breaking news.

887
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: But that's from the latest, absolute latest from the Wall

888
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: Street Journal. I think, though this is it's be fascinating

889
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: to see how this actually goes. I mean it would

890
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: be like, you know, if you had been banned from

891
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: a country club or denied entrance to a country club,

892
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: you know, year after year, and then you finally got

893
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: to look at the books of the committee to see

894
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: why they weren't letting you in. For a lot of

895
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: conservatives on social media, the opportunity to see I mean,

896
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: I think Elon I will I know people obviously are

897
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: in contact with them. I know you do too. I

898
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: will push to make sure that Elon allows everybody who

899
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 1: has an account on Twitter should know every manipulation that

900
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: was done to their account. Either specifically or via algorithm.

901
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: You should have full transparency because there are there are

902
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: total jackasses on the left that you know they have

903
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: all this reach and this big Twitter follow I'm like,

904
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: no one knows or likes this person, even on the left.

905
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: This is totally this is malarkey. Well for people out there,

906
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: remember how much people like you and me saw are

907
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: accounts grow. Literally when Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter,

908
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: there was an immediate spike in the number of not

909
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: crazy left wing journo followers. And then as this debate

910
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: has gone on, it really I mean, Twitter has kind

911
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: of stultified, but I haven't really seen much movement in

912
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: terms of big numbers one way or the other. But

913
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think Elon Musk, if he

914
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: buys this company and opens up the books and says, okay,

915
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: we're going to have a public algorithm, now you'll see

916
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: who we have artificially inflated at Twitter, who we have

917
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: been in a favored nation camp by allowing them to

918
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: amass a substantial following, and what that has done to

919
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: our marketplace of idea as an actual discourse in this country.

920
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: I think, look, at some point, this was my argument

921
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: for why Elon should buy Twitter buck if you remember,

922
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: at some point you have so much money, if you

923
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: are Elon Musk, that you have to start to think

924
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: about the world that you are going to leave behind,

925
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: and your kids are so taken care of that you

926
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: don't even mean the difference between being a billionaire and

927
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: being worth ten billion dollars like for your kids, like

928
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: who cares nothing? Yeah? Yes, this is also where there's

929
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: this very interesting dynamic, and everybody listening to this knows

930
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. Somehow, the right is all

931
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: in favor of free speech and the free exchange of ideas.

932
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: The left is terrified of it. The idea that you

933
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: and I could argue our points and say what we

934
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: want to say without fear of banning or restriction or

935
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: shadow banning or any of it drives the left crazy.

936
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 1: Why is that? Is it because their arguments are so good?

937
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: Is it because they're actually so rooted in fact and reason?

938
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't think. So let me leave you with this

939
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: question too as we go, for everybody to think about,

940
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: when has the side that has favored censorship ever ended

941
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: up being on the right side of history world history?

942
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: Basically in the end, Yeah, it's just in trench power

943
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: trying to defend its prerogatives. We'll come back to that

944
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: in a moment. Think about it this way. Right now,

945
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: in your town or city, there's certainly a woman who

946
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: has had an unplanned pregnancy and is under a tremendous

947
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: amount of psychological and emotional stress. She's faced with a

948
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: really important decision, one that will affect her for the

949
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: rest of her life and one that directly affects the

950
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: life of her preborn baby. What is she going to

951
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: do now she has an option for a nearby free

952
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: ultrasound clinic run by people who care, who want to help,

953
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: who want to be supportive of her bringing this life

954
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: into the world, the chances are much higher that she

955
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: will make that decision to give life to that baby

956
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: outside the womb, to give birth to her child. This

957
