1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Welcome in our number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Buck is 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: in Taiwan, and I'll read a couple of tweets that 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: he has sent from Taiwan. He is there for this 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: entire week. He will be back on Monday. Just FYI 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: appreciate all of. 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: You hanging out with us. 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: Lots of feedback rolling in on a variety of different topics. 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: We'll get to some of that in the next couple 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: of hours of the show. Senator Mullen of Oklahoma gonna 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: be on with us at two o'clock about an hour 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: from now, and then Steve Scalise, we will discuss the 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: potential shutdown that is on the horizon. 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: Not ideal. 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: Polls according to The New York Times on who's going 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: to be blamed if the government shuts down? And first 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: of all, should or should not the government be shut down? 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: Sixty five percent of all voters say the government should 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: not be shut down, just twenty seven percent of people 20 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: say it should. Ninety two percent of Republicans say the 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: government shouldn't be shut down. Fifty nine percent of independence 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: say the government shouldn't be shut down. Only forty seven 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats say it should. This to me is 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: just indicative of what's happened to the Democrat Party. They 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: take their cue from the activist twenty percent that is 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: completely out of touch with everything going on in the world, 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: and allow them to dictate all of the choices that 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: they make in the process. 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: So that is the latest there. 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: We've been talking about Pete Hegsett's big address to the military. Basically, 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: if I had to synthesize what he said, We're putting 32 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: merit back into the military and there will be actual 33 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: physical expectations for both men and women at the highest 34 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: possible standard. And in the process, we're going to send 35 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: a message to the rest of the nation that the 36 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: meritocracy is back as our primary focus in American life. 37 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: And I would say that's one of the biggest messages 38 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: that is echoing across the entire Trump two point oh regime. Trump, 39 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: I believe is still talking to the me. He's basically 40 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: been talking to the media NonStop for two straight days. 41 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: Remember when they would make a big deal about, Oh, 42 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's going to take a question now, or Joe 43 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Biden's going to have a public event now, This has 44 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: been going on every day basically for the entire year 45 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: of Trump two point zero. And it's easy to forget 46 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: the fact that we didn't see Biden, that they just 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: hit him. They did a couple of public events, he 48 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: never took questions. Whenever he took questions, they turned it 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: into a huge epic story. Meanwhile, Trump is just asking, 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: taking and answering questions on a regular basis. Okay, I 51 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: told you that I wanted to play a couple of 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the cuts from my interview with Paul Feinbaum that I 53 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: did over the weekend, and yesterday I shared some cuts. 54 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: Paul Feinbaum, I think is very likely to run for 55 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: the Senate from Alabama. But some of you out there 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: spend as much time as I do sitting around wondering 57 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: how did we end up in a situation where so 58 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: much insanity is governing everything that happens on a day 59 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: to day basis. And I think much of it came 60 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: because the Left took over culture in this country. I 61 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: mentioned my extreme appreciation for jk Rowling at the end 62 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: of the last hour of the program here, and I 63 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: don't even know what jk Rowling thinks about a large 64 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: percentage of the issues going on in the world. But 65 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: I do believe that she'll acknowledge truth, and that if 66 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: you can acknowledge truth, I can work with you on 67 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: other issues. But when you tell me men can become women, 68 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: or you start referring to women as birthing people. By 69 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: the way, good luck to my ten year assistant Katie, 70 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: who is right now in labor having baby number two. 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: She is phenomenal, helps to keep my work life in 72 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: order and balance. 73 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: And she has a baby boy who's two. Some of 74 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: you have seen him. 75 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: He occasionally makes an appearance on the video because she's 76 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: out at the house frequently. She is a woman having 77 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: a baby, not a birthing person. But good luck to her. 78 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: She is in labor right now. I doubt she is listening. 79 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: There's probably better things for her to be consuming right 80 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: now than this show. But she is in labor right now. 81 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: So for those of you who have been through the 82 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: labor process, maybe lift her up in prayer a little bit. 83 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: That is a challenge no matter who you are, and 84 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: baby number two is on the way for her, so 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: that is very exciting for she and her family. But 86 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I love what JK. Riling 87 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: did is she works in the Hollywood universe, and she 88 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: was willing to speak truth to that audience around her, 89 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: even though many of them were made uncomfortable by the 90 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: fact that she spoke the truth. And this is one 91 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: of the things about speaking the truth. You get attacked 92 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: when you make other people uncomfortable because you draw attention 93 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: to their untruth. So that is a reality that is 94 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: I think incredibly significant here. 95 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: This is what is going on when you're being attacked 96 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: like JK. Rowling is. 97 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: It's not because you actually have an unpopular opinion. It's 98 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: because you're saying what they know to be true and 99 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: forcing them to recognize that they are liars. That's why 100 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: what she's saying is so powerful. And I've spent a 101 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: lot of time doing on a smaller scale in sports 102 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: what JK. Rowling I think has done in pop culture 103 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to speaking true to people who should 104 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: know better. And I want to share this cut with 105 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: all of you because I did a sit down with 106 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: Paul Feinbaum and I've been talking about this for a 107 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: long time. The Left took over ESPN as part of 108 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: their attempt to take over sports, because think about it, 109 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: if they can get sports fans to say, there's no 110 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: difference between men and women. It's actually heroic for a 111 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: man to win a women swimming championship. That's how they 112 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: take over the whole culture. Because once they can get 113 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: you to admits something that you know is untrue, then 114 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: they own you. They have control of your soul because 115 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: once they can get you to say one thing that 116 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: you know is one hundred percent not true, they can 117 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: get you to say a second or third, and they 118 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: get into the brain and they slowly take it over. 119 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: And I think it's been intentional to focus on sports. 120 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: I saw it. 121 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: I never would have thought that I would be talking 122 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: to you on this show because I was just a 123 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: guy who likes sports like a huge majority of you. 124 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: I love going to a college football tailgate. I like 125 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: having drinks. I like gambling on sports, my favorite thing. 126 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: If you told me, Clay, you have one day left 127 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: to live, I would probably say, I want to take 128 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: my family and I want to go to an awesome 129 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: college football game, and I want to spend the whole 130 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: day tailgating, and I want to spend the whole day 131 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: hanging out with them, and then at the end of 132 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: the day, just say bye. That's probably how I would 133 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: choose to spend if you told me, hey, you only 134 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: have one day left, that may well be what I 135 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: would want to do. Celebrate, spend time with the people 136 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: that I love, doing something that we have all shared together. 137 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Some of you may think that's crazy. A lot of 138 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: you out there, I think can understand. And so it 139 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: was intentional, and they did it in a very subtle way. 140 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: Initially they only praised left wing politicians. They had Barack 141 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: Obama on ESPN all the time in completely unthreatening ways. 142 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: They had him pick in CAA tournament winners, they had 143 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: him talk about how much he liked sports. 144 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: And you say, okay, that's fine. 145 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: They're going to do that for Republicans too, right right, Well, 146 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in twenty nineteen wanted to go and did 147 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: go to the LSU Alabama football game in Tuscaloosa. 148 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: It's a big game, Joe Burrow against TUWA. 149 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: Talk about WOA, LSU one of the top teams, Alabama 150 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: one of the top teams. 151 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: I was there. 152 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: It was a fabulous electric atmosphere. Paul Feinbaum is one 153 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: of the top voices in college football, probably foremost known 154 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: of all of the sec Network, so Southeastern Conference, not 155 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: the Securities in Exchange Commission, probably the best known of 156 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: all their employees. And he wanted to do something special 157 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: for that game, and so he had set up an 158 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: interview with President Trump, not to dive into the complexities 159 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: of politics, just to talk about sports, just like ESPN 160 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: had spent eight years doing with Barack Obama. But guess 161 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: what Disney owned ESPN said, No, We're not going to 162 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: allow that to happen. We've got a different rule when 163 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: it comes to Republicans in office than we do Democrats. 164 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: And I want to play this cut. I've known this 165 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: was going on for a long time. People have told 166 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: me about it behind the scenes. Most of them have 167 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: not said it publicly. I get credit to Paul Pinbaum 168 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: for saying it publicly with me. This went up long 169 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: form interview. If you're interested, you can go check it 170 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: out on YouTube.

I said yeah. 196 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: But by the way, anyone who has ever hosted a 197 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: show in the history of mankind that does not want 198 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: the president, whether it's Democrat, Republican, whoever the hell it is, 199 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: is either lying to you or complete moron. To interject, 200 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: so he said, I think he said I was. 201 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: I was doing a get up in first take in 202 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: New York two days a week.

I think we could do it 205 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: as a White House Thursday morning. Can you get there? 206 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: I said, yeah, I can go there. 207 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: I'm in New York right. 208 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 4: Uh. 209 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 3: He said, let me let me, let me, let me 210 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 3: run it down the flag pole and he said he 211 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: texted me back saying it's looking good. 212 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: I had. 213 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: I called my boss. Uh. And they killed it. 214 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: They killed it. 215 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: They had Barack Obama all the time on the program, 216 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: and Finebaum acknowledge that all sorts of ESPN programming, They 217 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: sent reporters into the White House with him on a 218 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: regular basis. They wouldn't let Trump come on and just 219 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: talk about going to the LSU Alabama game. 220 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: Why because people would like him. 221 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: It would humanize Donald Trump like they spent eight years 222 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: humanizing Barack Obama. Disney, ESPN wouldn't let that happen because 223 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: Trump was a Republican. 224 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 2: This is a big deal, you know. 225 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: Everybody just focused on, Hey, Jimmy Kimmel made a joke, 226 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, how much bigger is it that 227 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: ESPN wouldn't let Paul Feinbaum interview President Trump before a 228 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: big game that he was going to attend Orders of 229 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: Magnitude because of what it represent. 230 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Sense. 231 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: They didn't want to treat Trump the exact same as 232 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: they treated Obama because culturally, they were using sports to 233 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: try to divide us all, to take us away from 234 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: the meritocracy, and to interject identity politics into sport. Because 235 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: if they can do that, and they control the culture 236 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: of sport, they get young men, they get young women, 237 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: they can infiltrate their thoughts and tell them, hey, you 238 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: know what, it's actually to be celebrated that a man 239 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: is competing in women's sports. Hey, you know what, it's 240 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: super racist. Remember when they tried to turn the NFL, 241 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: they had Colin Kaepernick comparing the NFL draft to a 242 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: slave market. 243 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: Man. When you really start looking. 244 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: At it, it's so alkylated, it's so intentional, and I 245 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: just could once I saw it, I couldn't start fighting 246 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: it hard enough.

Senator Mark 321 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: Wayne Mullen at Oklahoma and Steve Scalise Buck is in Taiwan. 322 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: He may have a couple of things coming from over 323 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: there before he is done. 324 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 2: But I wanted to play this cut for all of you. 325 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: This is Don Lemon, and as I said, he has 326 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: a message for the white men of America in particular. 327 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: Let's play it. 328 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 5: Men who look like you, men who vote like you, 329 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 5: and men who sound like you. White men, something is broken, 330 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 5: something is cracked deep inside when so many of you 331 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 5: believe the answer to fear, to loss, to change is violence. 332 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 5: Are you listening to me? I hope I'm saying it 333 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 5: loud enough for the people in the back right. 334 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: So that is Don Lemon, recently fired by CNN. What 335 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: I think is interesting about this is this is an 336 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: example of what I was just talking about in the 337 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: world of sports identity politics. I believe identity politics is 338 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: the root cancer of America today and we have to 339 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: grab it and root it out, destroy it in all 340 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: facets of our society. And there are many different prongs 341 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: of identity politics, but essentially what identity politics is is 342 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: how do you rank people based on oppression and who 343 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: is allowed to say to talk to groups and what 344 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: are they allowed to say? 345 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: Right? 346 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: And so, if you were thinking about this like a 347 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: left winger, does your particular identity is a proxy to 348 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: allow you to say anything about anyone? For instance, if 349 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: you are a black transgender person, you would see yourself 350 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: as the peak of the oppression pyramid. That is, you 351 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: are the most oppressed that anyone has ever been, and 352 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: therefore you are allowed to talk negatively about everybody else 353 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: because of your identity. Don Lemon is a gay black guy, 354 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: he believes, and maybe we should play that again, but 355 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: he believes that he should be able to lecture white 356 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: men on why they are so violent. Right, it doesn't 357 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: matter that it's not true. It's the identity politics worldview 358 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: of Don Lemon is as a gay black man because 359 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: of his identity being both gay and black, He's allowed 360 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: to say things that other people can't about other groups. 361 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: White men are allowed to be attacked by everybody. And 362 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: you guys all know this. White men are in the 363 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: world of identity politics the great Satan. We are the 364 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: cause of the left wing worldview of all negativity that 365 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: has ever. 366 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: Existed in the history of the world. 367 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: And from there you also can stare step into black 368 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: straight men and Hispanic straight men, and Asian hate straight 369 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: and Asian straight men. 370 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: We're all to blame. 371 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: Right collectively, men are toxic, Masculinity is toxic, heterosexuality is wrong. 372 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Football is too violent. Right, all of these things kind 373 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: of roll together. But I just want to want you 374 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: to think about that clip that I just played for you. 375 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: What is important I think about it is the degree 376 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: to which it reflects untruth. That is, factually, if Don 377 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: Lemmon were going to lecture anyone in America about their 378 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: rates of violence based on their race and their gender, 379 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: he would have to talk to black men. Right, let 380 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: me play that one more time, and I just want 381 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: you to think in your head, what if Don Lemon 382 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: had actually addressed this clip to black men. 383 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 5: Listen, men who look like you men who vote like 384 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 5: you and men who sound like you, white men. Something 385 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 5: is broken, something is cracked deep inside when so many 386 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 5: of you believe the answer to fear, to loss, to 387 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 5: change is violence. 388 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: Are you listening to me? I hope. I'm saying it 389 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: loud enough for the people in the back, Okay. 390 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: I mean it would actually be an instructive element here 391 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: to just strip out white men and put in black men. 392 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he say that? 393 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: If Don Lemon is concerned about rates of violence in America, 394 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: truly concerned, and he wants to break it down by 395 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: race and gender, the group he should be talking to 396 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: is black men. He should be saying, black men, why 397 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: are you so violent? You represent six percent of the population, 398 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: You commit nearly half of all murders. That's wildly outside 399 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: of what should be expected on a per capita basis. 400 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: In fact, white, Hispanic and Asian men are far less 401 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: violent than you are. 402 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: Why are you so angry? Black men? 403 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Why are you killing each other at such incredible high rates? 404 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: I want you to listen up. I'm paraphrasing what Don 405 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: Lemon just said to me, in particular, especially you guys 406 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: in the black in the back. All of you, black guys, 407 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: why are you behaving like this? It would immediately be 408 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: seen if Tucker Carlson did that take, if Klay Travis 409 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: did that take, if Buck Sexton did that take. If 410 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: a white guy sat down in front of the camera 411 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: and directly addressed black men and said, you guys are 412 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: way too violent, you are the problem. You need to 413 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: listen to me, it would probably go megaviral, but immediately 414 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: it would be called racist, there would be demands that 415 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: the person who was speaking be canceled. And yet based 416 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: on the data, it would actually have far more legitimacy 417 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: than what Don Lemmon just said to white men. So 418 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I just want you to think about this for a minute. 419 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: And my general proposition is it's not helpful to break 420 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: down racial groups and directly address them and you are 421 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: the problem, because it doesn't create a environment where things 422 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: get better. Right Because as soon as you attack someone 423 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: and say you're the problem, by and large, when you're 424 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: an external figure from that group, sometimes internal figures. 425 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: Right. 426 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: Black men can directly address black men, maybe in a 427 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: way that cuts through. White men can address address white men, 428 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Asian men, Hispanic men. Speaking inside the group, it's perceived 429 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: as less of attack because you're seen as one of 430 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: the group, right. But in general, I think this is 431 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: such an important clip because it's an example of untruth. 432 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: Right. 433 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: They wanted to talk about misinformation and disinformation all the time. 434 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: We can't solve problems in America unless we look at 435 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: the data and try to analyze it. This is why 436 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: I think tru decision to send troops into Memphis, to 437 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: send troops into Louisiana, to send troops into potentially Chicago, 438 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 1: and certainly to send troops into Washington, d C. Is 439 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: actually important because it forces us to have a real 440 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: conversation about where violent crime occurs and who the victims 441 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: of violent crime are. Some of you probably know I 442 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: don't know how many of you may have eve been 443 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: listening to this show for years. I'm a big believer 444 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: in look at a data set and try to address 445 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: a problem. If you believe as I do, that there 446 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: is far too much violence in America and we want 447 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: to lower the rates of overall violence, the way to 448 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: do that is to go to the communities with the 449 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: highest rates of violence and solve them. I live in 450 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: a neighborhood and a city where there is very little 451 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: violent crime. If the President of the United States surged 452 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: resources in Franklin, tent where I live, the rate of 453 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: violent crime would barely move in the state of Tennessee 454 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: because there is almost no violent crime here. But I 455 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: live in the state of Tennessee. If they surge resources 456 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: in Memphis, Memphis, I don't have the data in front 457 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: of me, but I would bet Memphis is well over 458 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: half of the murders that occur in the state of 459 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: Tennessee on a yearly basis. That's my bet off the 460 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: top of my head. Maybe some of you out there 461 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: have the data, you can share it with me. But 462 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: in order to drive down the rate of violent crime 463 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, you would have to go to the places 464 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: that have the highest rates of violent crime, and the 465 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: places with the highest rates of violent crime overwhelmingly have 466 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: black residents. How can we solve it if we don't 467 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: talk about it, and how can we solve it? When 468 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Don Lemmon is doing the equivalent of saying, why don't 469 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: you surge groups in Franklin, Tennessee, where Klay Travis lives, well, okay, 470 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: the crime rate is almost non existent. That would be 471 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: an inefficient use of resources. If the goal is to 472 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: drive down crime. If I came on here and I said, 473 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: we have to drive the rate of Asian murdered a zero, 474 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: I will not stand for all these violent Asian men. 475 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: I'm sick of all of you. We have a serious 476 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: violent crime rate with Asian men. And everybody said, yeah. 477 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: Clay's right, what Surger resources into Asian communities. 478 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: You know what happened. 479 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: Nobody would even notice. Even if we drove the rate 480 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: of Asian violent crime down to zero, it is so 481 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: low that it wouldn't actually make much of us very 482 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: much safer at all. 483 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: Now. 484 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: It's good to have less crime, but rates of crime, 485 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: particularly rates of violent crime, overwhelmingly skew in the black community. 486 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: So when Don Lemmon, a black guy, is lecturing white 487 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: guys for rates of violent crime, he's actively lying about 488 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: where crime comes from. And Buck asked a good question. 489 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: I saw this from him. He's over in Taiwan right 490 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: now and he tweeted this, and I think it's worth 491 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: thinking about what does a truly safe city feel like. 492 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Strolled through a park in downtown Taipei, Taiwan, last night 493 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: around nine to thirty pm, long after sundown. Playgrounds were full. 494 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: Children wandered in grassy areas, while parents calmly watched from 495 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: benches under dim street lights. Young women crossed through wooded 496 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: pathways alone, nobody concerned in the least about vagrants, druggies, mugging, 497 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: or worse. Because tolerance of a crime is a choice 498 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: society makes. Taiwan has made the right one and benefits 499 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: from that every day Democrat runs cities in the US 500 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: have made the wrong choice over and over, so we 501 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: all suffer. 502 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: It's shameful and cruel. He's right, it's one hundred percent right. 503 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: How many times have you thought, as you were going 504 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: around in a city, well, I better get this done 505 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: before dark. Well I would never take my kids to 506 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: that park after dark? Well what why would I better 507 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,959 Speaker 1: get my jog in Now? I can't be out on 508 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: the streets after dark. We've just accepted violent crime as 509 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: a reality in this country. 510 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: Do you know why? 511 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: I think we have Because people are afraid of being 512 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: called racist by looking and examining where violent crime comes from. 513 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: This ties one thought I was talking about with JK. 514 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: Rowling earlier. 515 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: Being honest some times requires that you be willing to 516 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: risk that people might say awful things about you that 517 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: you know are untrue. But think about this. I wanted 518 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: to play that Don Lemon clip, not only because it's 519 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: factually inaccurate, but what's the really racist choice. We're going 520 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: to allow rates of violent crime in black neighborhoods to 521 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: be huge, massive impediments to the success of the vast 522 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: majority of the residents in that neighborhood because we're willing 523 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: to deal with violent crime and allow it to continue 524 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: to occur because people are afraid of being called racist 525 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: if too many of the violent criminals arrested are black. 526 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: Much of Democrat crime positions is just calling the criminal 527 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: justice system racist. Isn't it actually racist to require the 528 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: vast majority of people who live in inner city neighborhoods 529 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: to live in constant fear and danger because of a 530 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: small segment of the population that is engaging in constant 531 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: acts of violence with no justice system at all to 532 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: protect them. Wouldn't systemic racism actually be forcing the vast 533 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: majority of black people to live in violent, crime ridden 534 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: cities instead of arresting people and letting everybody live safe 535 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: and healthy and productive wives. What's the first thing that 536 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: people do when they get money. Almost always, it's moved 537 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: to a safer neighborhood, white, Black, Asian and Hispanic. I 538 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: got a crazy idea. What if we just decided that 539 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: we're not going to let any neighborhood be unsafe. Yeah, 540 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: for a little while, it might be uncomfortable because we'd 541 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: have to put a lot of bad guys behind bars, 542 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: but you know what would happen Eventually without the bad 543 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: guys on the streets, we'd all be a lot safer. 544 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: Not doing so because you're concerned about the color of 545 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: the skin of the bad guys. Guess what, that's racist, 546 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: And the people that actually have to deal with it, 547 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: they're overwhelmingly black. So don Lemon, it's a little bit 548 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: of nuance for you. You wouldn't make a video addressing 549 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: violent crime rates for black men? 550 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 2: Why not? 551 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: Why would you do it for white men? And I'm 552 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: guessing hoping it wasn't because you just happened to get 553 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: into a fight with your married partner, a white guy. 554 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: When we come back, we will dive into some of 555 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: your the actions, talkbacks, and more.
