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 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Friday edition 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. The Buck 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: is back, at least vocally, Clay, Thank heavens, I appreciate 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: everybody's patience with that earlier in this week. We have 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: so much to talk to you all about. First off, 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: the guests we have lined up for today, our friend 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: Ben Dominicch. He is the publisher of The Federalist, a 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: great website, honestly one of my favorite conservative opinion sites 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: out there, and he has news to break on this show. 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: Big court case came down that he's involved in, so 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: we're talking to Ben about that and also politics. He's 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: a very astute observer. I'm sure you've seen him on 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: Brett Bear's panel during the six o'clock hour on Fox 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: many times. And we've got, oh gosh, so much more. 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: We also have Josh Holly, who voted against the forty 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: billion for Ukraine and had quite you know, Senator Holly 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: of course, quite a throw down with Graholm, the Secretary, 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Energy on the price of gas. We'll 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: discuss that and then Jonathan Isaac of The Orlando Magic 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: in the third hour about him standing for freedom and 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: refusing to bend the knee. So that's all coming up. 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: And then in terms of stories, a lot going on 24 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: here in the wampwamp file, Clay build up. Blasio was 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: running for Congress. I wanted to ask you about this 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: because is Build the Blasi? Like he said he wanted 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: to run for governor, he wanted to run for president. 28 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: Didn't he run for I can't even get ran for president? Right? 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: His superpower, Clay is being completely unself aware, at a 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: superhuman level. He is unself aware. Is there anyone out there? 31 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Does he have any fan base? Like I've never heard 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: anybody be like, hey, you know who I really like? 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Build the Blasi? I mean, anywhere on any level of 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: the political spectrum. It's really remark markable to be to 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: be the mayor of New York City and have note 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: twice and have no one actually like you, and and 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: to your point, to be so unself aware. There's nobody 38 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: clamoring for him to ever be involved in politics. Again, 39 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: he has no fan base, it seems to me. So 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: we'll come back to Billy to Blasio in a little 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: bit also known as Warren Wilhelm, which was his name 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: until his twenties. By the way, he changed his name 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: in his twenties, which I always think is such a 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: little known fact, changed his name entirely. But first off, 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, everybody, I mean, Claire and I are both. 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: Look what Elon's trying to do is so important, not 47 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: just for our business, I think for the country. We've 48 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: talked to you about why Twitter is so important for 49 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: the media narrative. It is the closest thing to a 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: town square that exists right now in the digital realm. 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: And Elon said Clay, he said, they're coming for me. 52 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been putting out tweets for weeks saying 53 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: that there's going to be some hit job against him, 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: and here you go from the Daily Mail. Elon Musk 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: says he claims, says claims. Rather, he paid two hundred 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: fifty two hundred fifty thousand dollars to silence space X 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: flight attendants twenty sixteen sexual harassment claims are from a 58 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: far left activist slash actress with a political acts to 59 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: grind to stop him from buying Twitter. He challenged openly 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: the liar to describe his naked body on Twitter, which 61 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: is a quiet a challenge. It's quite a gauntlet to 62 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: throw down, so to speak. And you know what, my men, 63 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: this is just this is blasi. I mean, I'm sorry, 64 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm not buying it. Blasi four two point zero. It's 65 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: so clearly timed, it's so desperate, and I think Elon's 66 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: gonna keep on pushing, pushing past this nonsense. Okay, So 67 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: let's break this down for just a moment. Elon Musk 68 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: announces that he's going to vote Republican for the first 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: time in his life, and within twenty four hours there 70 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: is a story accusing him of sexual assault that they're 71 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: trying to say a sexual assault. So I read this 72 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: story and here's how I would break it down. I'm 73 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: gonna put my lawyer hat on for you. First of all, 74 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: Buck and not a lot of people noticed this, but 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: the story is hearsay. The woman who allegedly is saying 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: that she was mistreated is not the source of the story. 77 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: It's a friend of the woman who is alleging that 78 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: she was mistreated. So the person who is telling the 79 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: story to this news outlet is not the actual woman 80 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: who was even involved. In this story, it's a level removed. 81 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: Her comments may not even be admissible in a court 82 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: of law, because again, it's hearsay. There are certain hearsay 83 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: exceptions that we could run through. Okay, so let's start there. Two, 84 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: the allegations in the story are not sexual assault, So 85 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: even if you take them as true full this is 86 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: not any way sexual assault. Three, the allegations are ridiculous. 87 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: It sounds like a joke. Elon Musk said he would 88 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: buy a woman a horse, a horse if she was 89 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: interested in engaging in some sort of amorous activity with him. Now, 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: I think this is just like I read that and 91 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: I kind of spit out my drink when I was 92 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: reading it because I don't know. I mean, we've got 93 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: a lot of women who are listening to us right now. Buck, 94 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: has there ever been a time where a man has 95 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: won your heart by offering to buy you a horse? 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like such a ridiculous joke to make, 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: right Like, And also what kind of horse are we 98 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: talking about? This story doesn't specify, but my first thought 99 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: is there's a wide range of horses, right, Pony an 100 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: Arabian thoroughbred. That's right, That's right. There's a big difference 101 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: in the value of the horse. But I can't imagine 102 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: there ever being any woman who I have ever met 103 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: that they would be impressed if I offered to buy 104 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: them a horse. It sounds like a joke, particularly because 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: she used to ride horses. And then the payment here 106 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which two people 107 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: out there who are who are maybe not involved in 108 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: the legal process, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars might 109 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: sound like a light like a lot. You cannot even 110 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: combat a sexual harassment allegation without paying far in excess 111 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: at a major corporation like this, or for a major 112 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: individual like Elon Musk, far in excess of two hundred 113 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars. So a lot of times people 114 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: just say, hey, this is a rounding air. Is this 115 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: a nuisance payment? That's exactly right. The amount of time 116 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: that Elon Musk would have to spend on this two 117 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars to Elon Musk is like 118 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: buck you or me paying twenty dollars right just to 119 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: be the I mean, it's like going for coffee for 120 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: him because of his wealth, and when you're paying and 121 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: you know this, but a lot of people out there 122 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: and don't realize it. Every lawyer that Elon Musk ever 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: pays is probably a fifteen hundred dollars or more dollar 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: an hour lawyer for people out there. So you know, 125 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: if you have them work on a case for you know, 126 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty hours, which I used to do sexual 127 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: harassment investigations, it's almost impossible not to spend that amount 128 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: of time on these cases. At a minimum, this is 129 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: a total nuisance case. And I would just say this. 130 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: He's been a public figure, Elon Musk has for twenty 131 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: five years now. It took him twenty four hours of 132 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: being a Republican for somebody to come out and accuse 133 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: and be published him as being inappropriate when it comes 134 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: to women. It's just so obvious what's going on here. 135 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's obvious because Elon said, hey, guys, you 136 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: know what's gonna be obvious when they come at me 137 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: with something, when someone dredges up something in order to 138 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: stop me from approaching Twitter. Look at the fear. I've 139 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: said this in the beginning play. It's so illuminating just 140 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: to watch how terrified the Democrat apparatus overall politicians, media figures, newspeople. 141 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: They're terrified at not having their hand on the scale 142 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: of the digital public square. It sends them into a frenzy. 143 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: Elon has never said there's gonna be reprisals against the left. 144 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna balance things out. We're gonna take a look 145 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: at the historical inequities of Twitter and decide that we're 146 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: going to silence the other side. He's just said, look, 147 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: we're not going to play games anymore and pretend that 148 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: we're doing free speech when we're not. And they are 149 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: in a frenzy over this right. And I think you're 150 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: going to see even though it's obvious they will go forward, 151 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: not only with this kind of an accusation. Federal regulators 152 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: are thinking about how they can get involved. The Biden 153 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: administration I'm sure has people at DOJ and looking at 154 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: this as some kind of an antitrust possibility. I mean, 155 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of tricks they're going to try to pull, 156 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: all to prevent the richest man on the plan. I mean, 157 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos buys the Washington Post. Fantastic, A great journalism 158 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be done. Elon wants to buy Twitter, make 159 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: it free speech. It is def con one for these lunatics. Yeah, 160 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: and I think the one positive is everybody knows the 161 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: game and how it's played now, so this accusation seems 162 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: to have landed with just kind of a thud, and 163 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: nobody really cared, right And I think because of obviously 164 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: people who listen to this show know what Rush went 165 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: through over the years with people coming after him on 166 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: a personal level. But to your point, government and the 167 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Mean and the irs and everybody else. And we talked 168 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: about the fact that when we took this show at 169 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: some point, I'm kind of stunned. Buck. I don't know 170 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: about you, given the influence this show has and the 171 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: audience that you guys tune in every single day. I 172 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: expected in the first year that somebody would come after 173 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: us and guns blazing. I mean, I talk to you 174 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: about this once our names were announced, that somebody was 175 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: gonna try to come after us and do hit pieces. 176 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: So far or a year in and nobody's really come 177 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: after us. But this is the game they play. This 178 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: is the way that they try to destroy you if 179 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: you don't sign up. I mean, think about this. Elon 180 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 1: Musk has gone from a hero of the left to 181 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: someone that they are trying to destroy based on simply 182 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: believing in content neutral policies. That's all he's done. He 183 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: hasn't said like, hey, I'm a far right ideologue. He's 184 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: just saying I want Twitter to treat everybody evenly regardless 185 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: of what their political opinions are. And this is such 186 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: a rigged game at Twitter that they are terrified of 187 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: just content neutral policy. And I think there's another component 188 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: of this that everyone should be aware of in the background. 189 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: They're so terrified of free speech as a general principle. 190 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: Now as we know, the left no longer there is 191 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: no longer foundational agreement between Democrats and Republicans, between left 192 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: and right on free speech as a value, as a 193 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: good that we can agree on what it is, because 194 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, hate speech is not and then you say, well, 195 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: if I'm opposed to illegal immigration, is that hate speech? Yeah, 196 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: it sounds like hate speech to me. Right they do 197 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: not believe in and there's of course much worse hate 198 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: speech or actual hate speech that is protective under the 199 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: first should be able to say that men should compete 200 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: against men and women that's hate speech. They're completely insane 201 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: but in the background of this, also they say that 202 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: the world is going to melt down because of climate 203 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: change and it's an existential threat. That is their freeze. 204 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Obama has said it, Biden has said it. Elon Musk 205 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: is doing more in a sense to combat climate change 206 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: than any other individual, not that I think climate change 207 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: needs to be combated, but put that aside. He is 208 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: doing more with Tesla. It's impossible for any individual to 209 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: have done more than you have done more than he is, 210 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: and they will destroy him if they can to protect 211 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: their speech advantage online. That's how much they care about this. 212 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: Forget about the fact he's done more than any other 213 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: human being on the planet for the issue that they 214 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: say is existential to fight against. That they will ruin 215 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: this guy's life and reputation so that they can run 216 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: around pretending like they're more popular online and their ideas 217 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: aren't insane. That's how they are hundred percent right, and 218 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: that's why there are a lot of Elon Musk's out there. 219 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm about six or seven years ahead of where Elon 220 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: Musk is in terms of my political evolution. But this 221 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: is why every single day I get out of bed 222 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: so excited to talk to this audience because I see 223 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: the results I see there Buck, There's going to be 224 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: more people voting Republican in twenty twenty two that have 225 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: never voted Republican for I really believe that before. I 226 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: really believe this in most of our lives, because they 227 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: are tired of the insanity that they are seeing, drumbeat 228 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: of crazy every single day that Democrats are putting out there. 229 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: You see what they're doing to this Princeton Professor two, 230 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, I saw that. This is another 231 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: it's another we'll tell everybody about this one, another example 232 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: of it doesn't matter if you're right. It doesn't matter 233 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: if you speak the truth and events bear out what 234 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: you've said. The Left will come for you. They will 235 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: come after you. They will ruin you, they will destroy you. 236 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: This is critical to their belief system because otherwise, to 237 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: your point, Clay, a lot of people are gonna say, yeah, 238 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: this is not making sense anymore. So they have to 239 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: make examples. They're making They're going to try to make 240 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: an example out of Elon, They're going to try to 241 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: make an example out of Fear. Yeah, we'll tell that story. 242 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: And there's a whole lot more coming up.

We're talking about Elon Musk trying to 266 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: be silenced because he has the audacity to actually share 267 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: content neutral beliefs as it pertains to Twitter. Well, Howard 268 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Dean remember him the scream heard around the world back 269 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: in what was that two thousand and four in the primaries, 270 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: I remember correctly. Well, he's now saying Fox News should 271 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: be boycotted because quote, they're the enemy of the United States. 272 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: The guy's nuts. I mean, really, you're going to take 273 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: this seriously in any way. But he's dangerous because he's 274 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of people who believe in this nonsense. 275 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: I actually think he's crazy. But he's malevolently crazy, and 276 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: he's a danger to the United States of America. And 277 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: since we can't take him off the air, we ought 278 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: to boycott Fox. And I've had nothing to do with 279 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: Fox for many, many years. These people mean to harm 280 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: the United States of America, and they're far worse than 281 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: either either. What even what Carlson was saying there, this 282 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: is a bad guy, and Fox is a bad company, 283 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: and they ought to be treated accordingly. They are the 284 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: enemy of the United States of America. I mean, Buck, 285 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: I work at Fox right, Fox bought my company. I 286 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: know everyone who runs Fox well, they are phenomenal people. 287 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: If you guys out there are listening to us right now, 288 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: if we bought the Fox exexon and we brought certainly 289 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: Tucker and we've had Sean Hannity on this show. The 290 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: idea that you have political officials demanding that stations be 291 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: taken off the air, that hosts not be allowed to 292 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: do their shows goes to the point that we started 293 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: with Elon, which is the Democrat Party has embraced a 294 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: level of censorship that hasn't existed in most of our 295 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: lives in America. We've never seen this before. We are 296 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: watching a route in progress, not just a political route, 297 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: but an ideological route. The Biden administration is an abject failure. 298 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: It's obvious, it's undeniable. Everyone listening to this knows it, 299 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: and even some people listening who are perhaps former Democrats. 300 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, welcome, jump on in the water 301 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: is worn for you. I've been I've been there. I 302 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: had to make that transition, and even those folks listening 303 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: to us know that we are speaking the truth when 304 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: we say this administration is failing, and even worse than that, 305 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: in a sense, the ideas behind the failures are bad. 306 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: They are wrong, they're not helpful to the country. And 307 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: so that's why, Clay, I think we're seeing such obvious 308 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: desperation to exactly what you said, which is this censorious 309 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: impulse that they have the desire to shut it down. 310 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: They it's like they're losing the game so badly that 311 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: they want to flip the switch and turn the flood 312 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: turn the floodlights off, so no one can say when 313 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: they go on, who takes the ball and leaves. If 314 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: you remember when you were a kid, the kid who 315 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: brings the ball, the kickball, the whiffleball, whatever it might be, 316 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: when he starts to lose, he walks away. By the way, 317 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: I'm jealous of my eleven year old, can I say this. 318 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: I talking to him the other day, Buck, I said, Man, 319 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: you're really tan already, considering it's only like May fifteenth, 320 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: And he said to me, yeah, Dad, that's because I 321 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: get to play whiffleball with my friends every day. After 322 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: school and I got in a lie. I got so 323 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: jealous that if play whiffahball every day's got a better 324 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: life than me.

First off this Now you may say, 346 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: some professor at Princeton, why do I care? Let me 347 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: tell you the story here quickly, and clayone'll breakdown was 348 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: really happening, so you will recall because I refuse to 349 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: let this go, just like they're wrong about the masks, 350 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: and they've been wrong about vaccine mandates and all these 351 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: other things. Now that we actually have the data, BLM 352 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: was disastrous for the country as a political movement. There's 353 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: there's really no data you can point to that does 354 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: not support that notion, which is that it made people 355 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: less safe. It meant that there were more and disproportionately 356 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: more young minority males, but more people overall killed. Crime 357 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: went up in city after city. The data is in, 358 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: and BLM and the Democrat and Left's approach to law 359 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: enforcement and systemic racism and the need for all the 360 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: apologizing and all this other stuff was just bad for everybody, 361 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: bad for the whole country, And it was used to 362 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: mobilize Democrats in an election year against Donald Trump, of course, 363 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, well we all know who's sitting in the 364 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: Oval office right now. So with that in mind, there 365 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: were some who spoke out during it. This Princeton professor 366 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: is one of them. His name is Joshua Kats. Now, 367 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: Princeton University, you all know, is one of the Big 368 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: three ivs and one of the most elites, for whatever 369 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: that's worth. Now, it doesn't really mean anything anymore, to 370 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: be honest with you, elite universities in the country, and 371 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: this guy is a tenured professor, which is clay. Getting 372 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: fired as a tenured professor virtually impossible. Basically have to 373 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: commit serious plagiarism, a felony, serious sexual crime of some kind. 374 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: It's very hard to get, you know, and like vehicular 375 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: manslaughter while you're drunk might get your tenure removed. But 376 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: I mean, in general, you're not getting fired if you 377 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: have tenured unless you speak out against BLM. So Princeton, 378 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 1: which is a university that has a whole street devoted 379 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: to multimillion dollar mansions that are run by the kids 380 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: known as eating clubs, So it's it's a very elitist institution. 381 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: But it's also quite woke. They had an effort underway 382 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: from the faculty to pay black professors more than they're 383 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: as a as a matter of open policy, we're going 384 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to pay black professors more than white professors to make 385 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: up for historical discrimination and give them more leave time, 386 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: more paid days off. Yeah, and this professor said, that's 387 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: not fair. It's actually racial discrimination. It's actually unconstitutional. And 388 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: on top of that, he didn't want a special committee 389 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: to be formed of some students I believe, and faculty 390 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: to judge racial infractions on campus, separate from the normal 391 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: disciplinary process, which already I mean, you know, if you 392 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: call us on a racial slawyer, you're basically they get 393 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: kicked out of school. That already exists. So this was 394 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: going to be looking for more gray area racially, and 395 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: he said that's a terrible idea. Faculty freaked out at him. 396 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: Of course, students started having sit ins and protests and Clay, now, 397 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: the president of Princeton University, is going to the board 398 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: to demand that this guy be fired. Not for this, 399 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: and this just reminds me of the Elon situation. We'll 400 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: just throw anything you can, but for a consensual relationship 401 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: that he had with a twenty one year old junior 402 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: student in two thousand and six, which she already faced 403 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: discipline for. They suspended him for a year. There was 404 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: no sexual misconduct. She did not want this charge to 405 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: be brought at all, but they went after him on 406 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: it and now they're reopening it. They're gonna fire him 407 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: because this is how the left plays the game. Folks 408 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: speak out against BLMS excesses. They ruin your career, they 409 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: ruin your life. Yeah, and this is what cancel culture, 410 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: why cancel culture is so toxic in so many different ways, 411 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: Not this in particular story, but just that there are 412 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: very few people who don't have something in their background 413 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: that they are worried about becoming a major story. And 414 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: this is what they do to try to enforce silence. 415 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: Not necessarily, although sometimes people who My belief is buck, 416 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: the louder you yell, oftentimes in favor of something, the 417 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: more you're trying to cover up something in your past. 418 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: And this is just an example of an institution of 419 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: higher learning that should be committed to truth no matter what, 420 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: and buck the idea of paying someone more specifically because 421 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: of their race, or giving them more time off specifically 422 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: because of their race. We have a word for treating 423 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: someone differently. It's racist, right, And this is one of 424 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: those cases. And I hope this fall we're going to 425 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: see an end too much of it, because Harvard is 426 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: on the docket in the Supreme Court right now over 427 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: its admissions policies, not because of how they're treating white people, 428 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: but because they are discriminating against Asian people. It's and 429 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: this is also interesting because the Ivy League schools have 430 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: an incredible history of discriminating against Jewish people right back 431 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: in the day. The reason why they implemented that a 432 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: lot of people don't know this, SATs and acts and 433 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: everything else, was because they were overwhelmingly discriminating against Jewish students, 434 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: and so they decided they wanted to have a way 435 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: to compare students on an even playing field. And now 436 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: the people who dominate on standardized testing as a group 437 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: are Asian. And if you go look at the rates 438 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: at which Asian students are being admitted, they're being definitely 439 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: discriminated against. And the people who are benefiting the most 440 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: over this Asian discrimination is black and Hispanic students. And 441 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: so the Asian students have followed the lawsuits saying, hey, 442 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is the next front in uh 443 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: in this sort of racial discrimination, and I think these 444 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: Ivy League schools are gonna lose and it's going to 445 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: be a substantial cultural shift. The current left wing position, 446 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: democrat position, the social justice position when it comes to universities, 447 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: whether it's Harvard, Princeton, you name it, you know, great 448 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: state schools that are very competitive, is that if you 449 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: are a Vietnamese immigrant whose parents came here with you know, 450 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: five dollars in their pocket, and you apply to Harvard, 451 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: you should be pushed and pushed out of the category 452 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: that you'd be in based on your grades, your your 453 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: you know, extracurriculars, etc. The objective metrics in favor of 454 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: let's just say a black student who went to year 455 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Field or Exeter or one of these sixty thousand dollars 456 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: a year prep schools, who perhaps has a parent who's 457 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: a corporate you know, dad and mom, corporate lawyer, Wall 458 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Street executive, making a couple million dollars a year based 459 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: exclusively on racial differentiation. That is the actual position of 460 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: the left is that the wealthy black student in this case, 461 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: Now you could say, well, of course that's a specific Yeah, 462 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: but that is how they feel. So a Vietnamese immigrant, 463 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: for example, is discriminated against in favor of a of 464 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: a well, even if it's a you know, even middle 465 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: class fan, it doesn't matter. The point is somebody who 466 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: has clearly more advantages, but because of skin color is 467 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: discriminated against. That is. I have friends who worked not 468 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: really anymore in admissions at Columbia University at Hammer's College 469 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: where I went, and I've talked about this clay one 470 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: hundred percent. This is what happens. And then these schools 471 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: pretend like, no, that's not it. It's a holistic admissions process, 472 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: like we're all idiots. Well, and I think this case 473 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: is going to be big because of the impact there, 474 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: and it also starts to jumble all of the all 475 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: of the affirmative action concepts in general. Remember, affirmative action 476 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: was never supposed to exist forever, and we're coming up 477 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: on sixty plus years now of affirmative action existing. And 478 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: even in those cases that were decided I believe back 479 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: in three or oh four, because I was in law 480 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: school when those cases were decided, they were they said, 481 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, we hope that affirmative action is not going 482 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: to be necessarily ahead. That was the Sander Day O'Connor 483 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: line I think as rutter View Bollinger, and it's going 484 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: to be, I believe, struck down as a part of this. 485 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: Now to your point, Buck, there still is an awful 486 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: lot of leeway and admissions where a lot of these 487 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: schools are going to be able to figure out ways 488 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: to still get the cosmetically diverse classrooms that they so desire. 489 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: But the bigger issue here that remains really paramount to 490 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: me is almost no poor people ever get to go 491 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: to these schools, like from a socioeconomic level, regardless of 492 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: what your background is, the overwhelming wealth that is required 493 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: to typically get into an Ivy League school is really 494 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: the lack of diversity, right because even if you're up 495 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: to your point, even if you're black or Hispanic, a 496 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: huge percentage of those kids are coming from families that 497 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: are well above average socioeconomically, and so if you're really 498 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: wanting diversity, socioeconomic diversity to me is more important than 499 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: cosmetic diversity. But just to bring it full circle here, 500 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: for a place like Princeton University with a massive endowment 501 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: formerly the College of New Jersey by the way, that's 502 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: what it was originally called. But for a place like 503 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Princeton to turn on a tenured professor in this way 504 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: for speaking out against BLM in a way that was 505 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: principled and now, as we see also based on what's 506 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: happened with BLM, correct just goes to show you they 507 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: need to make examples of people. Still they cannot win 508 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: the argument, so they want to destroy people, whether it's 509 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: destroying Elon or destroying this professor at Princeton. If you 510 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: deviate from the script and you're in a position of power, 511 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: you have a platform, you have some authority, they must 512 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: ruin you. That is the addict, doesn't matter what they 513 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: have to do to get there. This is what we're 514 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: up against, folks. There's no doubt and there's a lot 515 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: of people even at Princeton who would have agreed with 516 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: that professor to your point, who are going to say, Hey, 517 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: it's not worth risking my career, not worth risking my tenure. 518 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to shut up about this issue. You can 519 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: count on a couple of things in life. One of 520 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: them is, if you own a car and you've probably 521 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: been through this, it's going to break down and need 522 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: service and It's probably going to happen at the worst 523 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: possible time. Just when you think, hey, we got the 524 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: financial house in order, what happens, something goes wrong with 525 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: the car.

Friday 548 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: edition of the program. By the way, hope all of 549 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: you are having a fantastic start to your weekend hanging 550 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: out with us. Encourage you to go download the podcast. 551 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: Make sure you don't miss a moment. We got a 552 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: bunch of guests coming in the next couple of hours. 553 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: By the way, let me give you a rundown here. 554 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Ben Dominic should be great from the Federalist formerly tell 555 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: us a story about a ridiculous lawsuit that he was involved. 556 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: Senator Josh Holley of Missouri and Jonathan Isaac, who refused 557 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: to kneel for the national anthem in the NBA first 558 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: round NBA draft pick placed for the Orlando Magic. I 559 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: know we got a lot of people who listened down 560 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: in the Orlando area. He's got a new book out 561 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: called Stand I believe about why he chooses to stand 562 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: for the national anthem and refuse to kneel. And so 563 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: I think that is going to be a really enjoyable 564 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: interview from any of you headed into the weekend. Also 565 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: news breaking, by the way, Buck, and this is fairly significant. 566 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: In the last hour, Robbie Mook, who is a former 567 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: manager involved in high level Hillary Clinton campaign related events, 568 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: testified in this Subsman trial. And I'm reading directly from 569 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: a Brooke Singman who is with Fox News Digital does 570 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: good work there. Robbie Mook testifies Hillary Clinton herself approved 571 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: the dissemination of info I'm reading from her tweet alleging 572 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: a covert communications channel between the Trump organization and Russia's 573 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: Alpha Bank to the media, despite campaign officials not being 574 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: quote totally confident in its legitimacy. So again, let me 575 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: repeat this. Hillary Clinton herself, according to her own campaign, 576 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: directly approved the leaks to the media, alleging that the 577 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: Trump organization and Russia were involved in secret, covert communication, 578 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: despite the fact that the campaign itself is saying they 579 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: were not totally confident it was true. Seems like kind 580 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: of a significant detail. Buck, to tie directly to Hillary 581 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: Clinton over this Russia collusion mess. Where did it start? 582 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: How did we get here? The Hillary Clinton campaign itself 583 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: testifying that Hillary was giving the okay to lead this information. 584 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton ran the most consequential political dirty trick, weaponized 585 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: the intelligence community with the full actual collusion of the 586 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: journalistic apparatus against her political opponent, and got away with 587 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: it in essence until now, and even got a special counsel. 588 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: And I tell everybody this. They weren't able to get 589 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: Trump because there was nothing to get. There was nothing there. 590 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: But they managed to use this as a weapon on 591 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: its own. The process was the punishment of the Special Counsel, 592 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: of the Muller Probe of having people in that White 593 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: House having to get attorneys. Some of them were young 594 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: staffers without without a big bank roll. They had to 595 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: get at journeys because they were worried. And the whole 596 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: point of the Muller Probe was to just find people 597 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: for the most mundane process crime you possibly could, and 598 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: then have the Washington Post blast, Oh, someone lied under oath. 599 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean they got people for lying about not doing anything. 600 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: But people were terrified and they either misremembered or they 601 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: just tried to shade the truth, and Muller just hammered them, 602 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: nailed them. Notice, in this case with a DC based jury, 603 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: the ultimate failsafe of the deep state is the jury 604 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: pool of Washington, DC, which is ninety percent unfortunately. And 605 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: you've lived there. I've lived there twice. Yeah, full of 606 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: MSNBC watching woke left wing lunatics. DC is full of that. 607 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: For we used to call it forum shopping. Lawyers still do. 608 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: If you were going to pick the best possible jury 609 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: to have for this case from a Democrat perspective, you've 610 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: got it in Washington, DC. So we can share some 611 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: of the details that are coming out under oath. I 612 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: think the most significant part of this is just getting 613 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 1: all of these officials under oath and getting them to 614 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: tell their stories publicly. I mean, this is to me 615 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: a pretty significant revelation that Hillary Clinton's own campaign is 616 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: now directly tying her to spreading the lie of Russia 617 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: collusion in Russian involved right. I mean, we've known this campaign, 618 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: this has been clear. I mean, Trump has been saying 619 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,760 Speaker 1: it himself for years. But this is beyond any doubt 620 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: admission firsthand from the highest source you could have other 621 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: short of Hillary Clinton herself saying yeah, I gave the order. 622 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: This is her top lieutenant effectively saying yeah, she gave 623 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: the order for the disinformation operation against Trump. And honestly, 624 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice owes Donald Trump an apology over this. 625 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: The intelligence community, which I used to be a part of, 626 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 1: owns Donald Trump ows Donald Trump an apology over this. 627 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen, but they own one, no doubt. 628 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: When we come back, by the way into the second hour, 629 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: like I said, we got some great guests coming your 630 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: way an hour two, an hour three. But there's a 631 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: lot of craziness out there right now, bucks surrounding the fear, 632 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 1: the palpable fear that is trying to be spread. As 633 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: rov Wade theoretically going to be overturned in June. Some 634 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: of these clips that we're going to play for you, 635 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: I think are gonna even stun what is being said 636 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: about this and this law in Alabama that Alabama's passing. 637 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: Alabama's going for banning abortion, my friends, I mean, they're 638 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: they're going to protect the life. Okay, I just did it. 639 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk more about what that means 640 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: and what that fight looks like. So stick around sleet, 641 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of
