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 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. It's Tuesday, everybody, It's a glorious day

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: to be alive. Thanks for being with us here on

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We got a

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: lot to talk to you about, which we I think

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: always do, but today got a whole range of things

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: that come a top of mind. You've got a one

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: of the former fifty one Intel officials has come out

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to say, this is the headline right now on Fox News.

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: The x Intel official who discredited Hunter's laptop as Russian

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: disinformation makes a stunning admission, that's the headline. I got

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: news for everybody. They all knew that they were lying.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I know some of those individuals. They are not dumb,

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: they are just dishonest. But Clay now makes sense of that. Also,

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: National Archives, we've been talking a lot about the Biden documents.

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: National Archives was saying just a couple of weeks before

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: the discovery of the mishandled classified that there were no

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: mishandled documents by the Biden administration, that it's misleading in false.

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Turns out that's obviously not the case. Also, a fascinating

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: situation in the Wokeness, diversity, Inclusion, and meritocracy category. We're

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna have Jason Miarez, the Attorney General of the State

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: of Virginia, with us in the third hour of the program,

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: because it seems some schools are telling people that they

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: are rather not telling people when their children have achieved

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: a National Merit Finalist or National Merit Commended Scholar designation

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: because it makes some people feel bad, and because the

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: demographics of who's scoring high on these tests isn't what

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: the woke community wants it to be, as in, they

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: believe it's a problem that there are too many Asians

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: who are overperforming. That will be a fascinating discussion. We'll

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: get into this, but you know, sometimes there's a moment

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: where a topic that Clay and I are both very

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: focused on, as well as a sport that I actually

34
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: play and pay attention to, all come together. And that's

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: where we are right now with the shots. Before we

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: get into the sports aspect of it, Clay, can we

37
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: just play from I believe this is just from last night.

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Doctor Marty McCarry, who we've had on the show countless times.

39
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I like to remind everybody McCarry doctor McCarry has never

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: come on the show been like, wow, guys, I got

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: that one wrong by a mile. Right. We tend to

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: have the people on Barrenson McCarry go down the list

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: who have been essentially right or entirely right about every

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: major thing here. They just had a new booster for COVID.

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Clay You tweeted up, I think you broke this news

46
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: on this show this past Friday, right. You mentioned on

47
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: air that it had just broken well, but that there's

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: stroke associated with it. Yeah, that they were examining for

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: people sixty five in older whether you were more likely

50
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: to have a STO in the twenty one days immediately

51
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: after you got the most recent booster. That's the first

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: public statement that the CDC has made to suggest that

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: these most recent the BUI valent COVID booster or whatever

54
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: they're calling it, maybe something less than beneficial to everyone.

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: And I think there's going to be more and more

56
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: of these designations coming out because it's getting harder and

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: harder to claim, first of all, that there's much protection

58
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: offered by these shots at all. Secondly, that there aren't

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: some negative consequences, particularly in young and healthy people. You know,

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: It's amazing that the same busybodies who want everyone to

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: be concerned about eating red meat because it will destroy

62
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: the planet, and even more concerned about eating bacon because

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: it's a carcinogen. Everything that you want to do in

64
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: life pretty much is a carcinogen or is tied to

65
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: the usage of pesticide that will give you that that

66
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: r carcinogens on their own, and yet with the vaccine

67
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: it will. As we all know, if you questioned anything,

68
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: it's not that you were questioning or even had questions.

69
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: As a general principle, you were a bad person and

70
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: you were somebody that needed to be shut up. We

71
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: know this from the Twitter files and a whole range

72
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: of other things. But here's doctor Marty McCarry pointing out

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: that vaccines have been pulled for far less than we

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: already know about this bivalent booster play ten. Not a

75
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty thousand Medicare beneficiaries, one hundred and

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: thirty of them had a stroke within three weeks of

77
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the new bivalent vaccine. Now this is the vaccine where

78
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: it was authorized without any randomized controlled trial. We had

79
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: a big study come out that showed that the incidents

80
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: of complications severe adversity events was one in eight hundred,

81
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: and the German studies said it was one in five thousand. Now,

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: I'm not saying pull the vaccine from the market, but

83
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: we've pulled vaccines for frequencies of adversity events far less

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: common than we're seeing with the COVID vaccine. Rodavirus was

85
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: pulled for a complication rate of one in ten thousand,

86
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: and the swine flu vaccine was pulled for a complication

87
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: rate of one in one hundred thousand. So the rules

88
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: all change clay when it comes to COVID. The people

89
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: that are supposed to regulate and enforce rules of safety

90
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: change all the safety rules. Yeah, and this is why

91
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: I think, if the Republicans in the House are listening

92
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: right now, and I know many of them are, we've

93
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: got to do away with immunity because the reason why

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: they pulled those other shots legal immunity, right, not heard

95
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: immunity yet? Yeah, yeah, Yeah, The reason they pulled those

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: other shots is because they were afraid of playing if

97
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: lawyer lawsuits. And look, I'm not claiming that trial lawyers

98
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: are without fault. Certainly there should be I think a

99
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of remediation, a lot of changes in terms of

100
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: the lawsuits that are filed that are lists in the

101
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: United States. But drug companies often are policing their behavior

102
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: because they are afraid of what will happen if they

103
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: don't in court of law, and right now, when you

104
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: have given them immunity, they don't have that fear. And

105
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: there is a I believe collusion that has gone on

106
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: because all of our public health authorities but don't want

107
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: admit that they got it wrong because they so aggressively

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: supported these shots and their mandates, and the drug companies

109
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: certainly don't want to give up their protection from liability.

110
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: So as a result, we're having people continue to get

111
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: shots in arms that are creating, oftentimes especially in young

112
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: and healthy people, far more negative health consequences than they

113
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: are being protected from. And now we have the sports

114
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: aspect of this. Yeah, we're bringing it all together. You know.

115
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: This is where all the threads come in come into

116
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: one place. Camilla Georgie, I'm not familiar with her from

117
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: the past, but she is a professional tennis player who's

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of heat right now for something that

119
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I will tell you was a consideration for me and

120
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: many others, especially if you lived in one of the

121
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: lockdown lunatic zones like New York City, Los Angeles. It

122
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: was get the shot or you literally can't do your job,

123
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: can't go to a restaurant. People forget this, how oppressive.

124
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: And Jim can't go to the movies, can't go to

125
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: get a fast food meal, nothing. It was true tyranny.

126
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: They were the Stazi of COVID and you had to

127
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: get this little passport, this little piece of paper. Now,

128
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: it was easy to forge, and I know a lot

129
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of people who forged them. I'm just gonna say it.

130
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who did that. Yeah. Yeah,

131
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: I think that they look back on it now as

132
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: a health matter and feel very proud that they didn't

133
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: actually go forward with the shot that they didn't want

134
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: for people who didn't. Camilla Georgie visited a doctor in Italy.

135
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: She is a highly telegenic female tennis player for the

136
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: male members of her audience. When you google her, I'm

137
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: sure there's a story on OutKick. This seems I can

138
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: out kill a story on ourkick dot com about her.

139
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: This this story is running up the charts. I have

140
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: a feel like a OutKick so Camilla Georgie visited this

141
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: doctor that is in Italy was found to be forging

142
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: vaccine passports for people. She says she did nothing wrong.

143
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: She actually got the shot. Here is how an Australian

144
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: open press conference went today. Play it. Did you rely

145
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: on any documentation provided by that doctor to satisfy your

146
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: requirements to inter Australia noting Ninjurus, not at all. She's

147
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: in trouble. So I don't need to. I don't want

148
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: to ask you nderstood the question because I'm not sure

149
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: you did. Did you rely on documents provided by that

150
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: doctor to do the right thing by Australia to provide

151
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: what you needed to provide? Did you rely on her documents?

152
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: Of course? If not, it wouldn't be here. Does someone

153
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,479
Speaker 1: else want to phrase that? Did you? Were you vaccinated

154
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: by that once? The other vaccination? I did it in

155
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: different kind of places. So is what I'm trying to displain.

156
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: Did you knew of her background? No? No, no, So

157
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: this is where the normal people. First of all, not

158
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: all heroes wear cape. Some of them were little tennis

159
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: skirts and carry a racket. Okay, yes, because I look,

160
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: she says she got the shot. I think a lot

161
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: of us think that. You know, it's quite a coincidence

162
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: if she was going to the doctor that was making

163
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: the fake you know, the fake fake vaccine passports for people.

164
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: Maybe though maybe I'm not saying she didn't, but clay

165
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the notion that the Australians, I mean Australia, as I

166
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: have said, we thought it was England with better weather.

167
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: It was Australia. I'm sorry it was East Germany with

168
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: koalas like it just completely lost its mind over COVID.

169
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: How are these lunatics in the press hounding her over this?

170
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: What have they not figured out yet? And it's really

171
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: just that if you didn't bend the knee, they're angry

172
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: at you. Well, especially because Australia doesn't require the code

173
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: A shot anymore, which is really funny. Last year when

174
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: we were on the show Buck around this time, Novak

175
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: Djokovic was held remember, for a week they wouldn't let

176
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: him actually enter the country because he had gotten a

177
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: waiver and they said this is unacceptable. He flew all

178
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the way to Australia. They held him basically in captivity

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: for a week and then he turned around and was

180
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: forced to leave the country. This year, he's gonna play,

181
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,239
Speaker 1: he's the favorite to win the Australian Open. He admittedly

182
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: never went and got the COVID shot. Now, there are

183
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: allegations out there that this woman who we were just

184
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: hearing from getting grilled by Australian authorities, used a fake

185
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: COVID vax card to play in tournaments where otherwise you

186
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to play. And to that, I say, frankly,

187
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: more power to you. There are a lot of athletes

188
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: out there, buck who got fake vax cards all over

189
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: the United States, all over the world, because they know

190
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: their bodies better than almost anybody, right if you make

191
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: a living based on your health. They looked at the data,

192
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: they said, this is ridiculous. I don't want to get

193
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: these shots. And many of them got fake vaccine cards. Well,

194
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: also think about the ethics involved in this. I don't

195
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: believe they'll go to this length. So I haven't seen it,

196
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: I should say I haven't seen it yet in this country.

197
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: But in some of the lockdown lunatic regimes out there

198
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: Australia topless, I mean Australia, honestly, you know, people completely

199
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: lost their minds. I mean they had quarantine camps or

200
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: people with COVID. It's like they set up quarantine camps

201
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: for people with the common cold. They're completely they should

202
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: be ashamed. What they did is disgusting. The Australian remember

203
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: like they had a video lead news story of a

204
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: guy who had COVID and got on an elevator. Have

205
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: you have you watched that video? And gay they put

206
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: out it was like they were, you know, they were

207
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: looking for, you know, a bank robber. There was a

208
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: guy very quarantine. I it was. It was completely in

209
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: serial I mean no, they treated it like it was

210
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: a mortal threat. You're right, it was even worse than

211
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: a bank robber. And here we are now there's still

212
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: pushing this stuff. Anyone who is still demanding obedience to

213
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: the COVID regime is a brainwashed puppet of the apparatus.

214
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really disgraceful at this point. It has

215
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: been for a long time. I'm just saying it couldn't

216
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: be any more obvious. And I think what's going to

217
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: be interesting is, so what are they gonna do. They're

218
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: gonna force a doctor to violate patient confidentiality, to violate

219
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: the oath that you have as a doctor, you're supposed

220
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: to have patient confidentiality about health matters to say who

221
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: actually got the shot on who got fake paperwork? Think

222
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: about for a shop. That was stupid and pointless and

223
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: nobody should have been made to get under any circumstances.

224
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: And there's going to enquirement. Listen to how they're grilling

225
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: this Australian tennis player when there's no requirement in Australian. Now, buck,

226
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: this is still crazy. You know, the United States is

227
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: one of the only countries in the world that's still

228
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: require unless you walk across our southern border, which we

229
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: mocked for a while. Novak Djokovic could not come to

230
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: the United States right now and play tennis because he

231
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: admittedly has not gotten the COVID shot. If I weren't

232
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: a citizen, I wouldn't be able to come to the

233
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: United States. Yeah, he's in the world for anyone who's

234
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: not a tennis watcher, and one of the one of

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: the greatest, some would argue in the top three all time.

236
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: So it was a big deal when he couldn't play

237
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: on the USTA circuit or play play at the US Open.

238
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: And it's appalling, and I do think, you know, there's

239
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: there's this attitude if we have to sort of, you know,

240
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: move on and let it go. No, I'm actually not.

241
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not even close to being okay with what happened,

242
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: moving on getting past it. I think the Democrats haven't

243
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: paid the authoritarian or haven't paid the price for their

244
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: authoritarian fauci lunacy, not even close. And I think that

245
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: people really need Now is the time because they can't

246
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: hide it from you anymore. Everyone. Now is the time

247
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: to dig into the numbers and facts and realize. Everybody

248
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: who's walking around saying everyone I know has long COVID

249
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: and I need to mask and I got my six

250
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: shot and why are you even walking outside without a

251
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: mask on? They were brainwashed and suffering from deep emotional

252
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: and psychological disorders as part of their political tribal loyalty.

253
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: It's really sad and pathetic. You're right, and it's not

254
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: going away. That's how I feel, unfortunately, just saying I

Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us and just take a quick

279
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: moment if we can to note that after all of

280
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: the hullabaloo, it's a fun words, thank you for all

281
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the hullabaloo around the Speaker of the House. Who will

282
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: it be? How will it go? And Kevin McCarthy ended

283
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: up as speaker, which is what we thought would happen.

284
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: But there were concessions made on the twenty or so

285
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: rebels in the House, got some changes, some promises. Kevin

286
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy has as speaker, come out swinging to be fair.

287
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: The House has taken votes on abolishing federal income taxes,

288
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: looking at weaponization of government, looking at and holding China

289
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: accountable for its abuses, defunding the World Health Organization? Did

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: you see that one? I didn't even see that one.

291
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at a list of this here and

292
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: looking more closely at the Biden crime family, so especially

293
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: the the IRS. I can't believe there weren't more people

294
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: who are truly terrified at the notion of seventy thousand

295
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: additional RS agents, because they're when they tell you that

296
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: they're just going after rich people, they are lying to you.

297
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: You can look at the data, you can look at

298
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: the truth. They are lying to you. You know who

299
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: they're going after. People who make fifty to two hundred

300
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars there's a year who they can

301
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: squeeze and because there's a lot more of those people,

302
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: and they can squeeze an extra five or ten grand

303
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: out of you because you don't want to pay for lawyers,

304
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: you don't have accountants, you don't have a team of people, etc.

305
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: That's what the data. The data shows they actually go

306
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: after people who are much less able to fight it,

307
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: and they'refore more likely to write a check of additional

308
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: of additional money to the treasury. But Clay, I bring

309
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: up the situation of the House and where we are

310
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: right now, because we're in for another showdown, throw down,

311
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: however you want to put it of sorts right now

312
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: because we're gon we're gonna have a debt ceiling moment.

313
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: On Thursday, we will be reaching the debt ceiling. I

314
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: want to know that Biden yesterday said this about Republicans.

315
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: It's MLK Day and Biden's giving a speech, and here's

316
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: how he refers to the Republicans in Congress. Play one.

317
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna talk about big spending Democrats again. Guess what

318
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: I reduced the deficit last year three hundred and fifty

319
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 1: billion dollars, and this year federal deficits down one trillion

320
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: plus dollars. Hear me, that's a fact. And there's going

321
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: to be hundreds of billions reduced over the next decade.

322
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: But so these guys are the fiscally they're fiscally demented.

323
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: I think they don't they don't quite get it. I mean,

324
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: first of all, Biden, comparing debt reduction to COVID when

325
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: we're spending trillions of dollars in emergency funding after an

326
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: artificial government shutdown of the economy or sectors of the economy,

327
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: is just the most dishonest thing imaginable about this. We're

328
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: looking at a House of Representatives play with a Republican

329
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: majority that may fight over this issue a little bit

330
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: in advance of Thursday. We'll see. I would just note

331
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: for everybody he says Republicans are demented, if you look

332
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: at a chart of total public debt, you look at

333
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: where we are as a country, and this is from

334
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: the US Department of Treasury. You know, when you and

335
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: I Clay were well, when I was growing up, I

336
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know what it was like back in the seventies.

337
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: But when I was growing up, you know, it was

338
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: public debt was two trillion, three trillion, four trillion, oh

339
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: the eighties into the nineties. Then you get to two

340
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, you get to the Obama administration, and

341
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: it goes from I'm just looking at the chart right now,

342
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: about nine trillion to whoopsee by twenty twenty, you're at

343
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: twenty three trillion dollars. Now we're thirty one trillion. Now

344
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: this is a if there is such a thing as

345
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: a scary debt number, aren't we at the scary debt number? Yes? Yes.

346
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: The Tea Party began to protest when we were approaching

347
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: ten trillion dollars in national debt. Since two thousand and ten,

348
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: we have added over twenty trillion dollars to our national debt.

349
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: A lot of states buck have balanced budget requirements, that is,

350
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: you cannot go billions and certainly not trillions of dollars

351
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: into debt. I find these battles over debt ceiling that

352
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: we know eventually are going to get resolved because everybody says, oh, well,

353
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: we can't default on our obligations. The United States is

354
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: not going to default forever on our public obligations. But

355
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: they act like that is in some way a major threat.

356
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: It's not. There's going to get resolved. I wish we

357
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: could just pass a balanced budget amendment once and for

358
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: all and say Congress can't spend more money than the

359
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: United States has, because with the fact that we are

360
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: raising interest rates, we're going to be over five percent

361
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: probably at some point this year. A massive amount now

362
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: of our national budget, of our yearly government budget is

363
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: based on interest and when you're at thirty trillion dollars,

364
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: the interest payments restrict what you're able to do. And

365
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: so Joe Biden is bragging about reducing the size of

366
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the deficit, when, first of all, it's a lie, right because,

367
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, it's COVID spending. He also wanted to

368
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: spend five trillion additional dollars, only Republicans and mansion and

369
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: sentiment his own party kept that from happening. But this

370
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: is the same kind of brag he's doing Buck when

371
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: he's saying, oh, no president's ever created more jobs than

372
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: I have. No, no, no, no, people just got to

373
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: go back to work, right, Like you don't get to

374
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: take credit for the fact that in March of twenty twenty,

375
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Suddenly everybody, a huge percentage anyway of people were told, hey,

376
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to do your job, and starting in

377
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty one, as many of those people

378
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: came back to their jobs. Biden doesn't get credit for

379
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: creating tens of millions of jobs, which is what he's

380
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: trying to do. We should have never shut down and

381
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: taken away people's jobs in the first place, and we

382
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: certainly shouldn't have done what the United States government did,

383
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: and that's why. Look, Republicans aren't absently blameless here, not blameless.

384
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: Let's we are always going to be honest with you.

385
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: And there was way too much money spending twenty twenty.

386
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: That is just a fact. I think it's one of

387
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: the reasons that the midterm elections that we just had

388
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't factor inflation in as a bigger issue. Because, yes,

389
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: what Biden did speaking about fiscally demented spending two trillion

390
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: when he came in right away, total party line vote

391
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: and then want to spend another five trillion, that's just lunacy. Yes,

392
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: but we spend six trillion on COVID in twenty twenty,

393
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: and I understand hindsight is twenty twenty that kind of worked. Yeah,

394
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: but that was also a really bad idea, and we

395
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that, And that was the most fiscally

396
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: reckless thing I think that has been done in this

397
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Has there ever been something more fiscally reckless than that

398
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: Clay as a one off, meaning one action sprinting six

399
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: trillion dollars. No, Look, we spent more money on responding

400
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: to COVID than we spent to win World War Two.

401
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: So I mean, for everybody out there, I mean, that's

402
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: kind of an eyebrow raising moment. If you look at

403
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: federal expenditures, our federal expenditures were the highest I believe

404
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm right on this in response to COVID than they

405
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: had been since World War Two. So we spent more

406
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: money fighting a virus that we did virtually nothing to combat. Honestly,

407
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: all we needed to do was just let this thing

408
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: run through unfortunately the body public until we got natural immunity.

409
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Because that's the only thing that seems to have worked.

410
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have spent a dollar on that. We should

411
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: have just said, hey, we should have followed to get

412
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Great Barrington Declaration. There were people who were making these

413
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: arguments at the time. Instead, we spent as much money

414
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: fighting COVID, more in fact, than we did fighting the Nazis.

415
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: Think about how crazy that is. I mean, on an

416
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: inflation adjust on an inflation adjusted basis, I believe that

417
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: is correct. I think we spent more money on COVID

418
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: federally than we did to fight World War Two. Well,

419
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: we'll think about it. We didn't. You didn't shut down

420
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: the economy in World War Two. You actually had massive escalation.

421
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: We had build and everything else. Yes, you do the

422
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: opposite of shutting down your economy during a war. We

423
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: shut down our economy. And I think everyone needs to

424
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: hear this. For no benefit. We tried the the commies

425
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: in this country. Unfortunately, we're able to use COVID to

426
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: get their way in a number of ways, and one

427
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: of them is we essentially ran not only modern monetary theory,

428
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: but universal basic income. We printed crazy amounts of money

429
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: and gave people money to pay their bills, to do nothing.

430
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: This is my sword to nine percent. Yeah, I mean,

431
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: this is what the furthest left sander Nistas of the

432
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders variety, This is what they had wanted for

433
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: for decades, and we actually did it because of COVID,

434
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: and you know, in twenty twenty, a lot of people

435
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to hear it. I was in the you

436
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: don't shut down your economy for any reason. Camp. I

437
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: was in the open I got. I got more people

438
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: telling me I was a horrible person that should you know,

439
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: should die or something because I said we should open

440
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: in April of twenty twenty, full open, go back to work,

441
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: deal with it. We we got to live our lives.

442
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: Our friend Jesse Kelly rock solid on this issue. You

443
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: rock solid on this issue, and we're unfortunately now I

444
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: think just beginning to see the consequences thirty trillion in debt. Clay,

445
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: we can't even comprehend that number. Buck. I the analogy

446
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: that I used on my sports talk radio show at

447
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: the time when we were all locked down, and I

448
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: think I've told this story on this radio show before.

449
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: April sixth is my birthday. So April six, twenty twenty,

450
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: much of the country is still locked down. A lot

451
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: of businesses are not open. Someone knocks on my door,

452
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: Go to the door, open it. Who's standing there? Cupcake delivery?

453
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: It's a birthday. Somebody had gotten me cupcakes delivered in

454
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: my house. I said, wait a minute, cupcake delivery is

455
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: an essential business. And the girl, I don't blame her. Look,

456
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: I want everybody to work. She said, oh yeah, cupcakes

457
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: are considered to be an essential business. We haven't ever

458
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: had to shut down. And I said, look, I get

459
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: it right. They all this business does is make cupcakes.

460
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there are that many people out there

461
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: that live off of just I wish I could, By

462
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: the way, I can just live off cupcakes. They could

463
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: be really good. Look they're amazing if you told me

464
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: right now. In fact, hey Clay, you won't get fat

465
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: and die in two years if you just eat cupcakes.

466
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: I would be fine just eating. Come in the rest

467
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: of my life. Important question for you. And then I

468
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: want to ask you about the dead ceiling. If there

469
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: was one food that you could eat unlimited amounts of

470
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: and have it not affect your health or weight or

471
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: anything at all, what would it be? Cobbler? I think

472
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: that cobbler. This is the Southern boy in me. I

473
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: think that BlackBerry cobbler is the greatest food that has

474
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: ever been invented in the history. I like mixed berry

475
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: cobblers too, I'm not trying to be racist against strawberries

476
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: or peaches, or apples or anything else. But I think

477
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: the BlackBerry cobbler is the greatest of the Cobbler team.

478
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: What about you? What would ice cream I can put away?

479
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: I could put away a thousand dollars of ice cream

480
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: without without batting an eye? What choice would you go with?

481
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: What flavor? If you could only go with one? Um?

482
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: Is this a pistachio answer? Is this your I was

483
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: hoping pistachio gates, but yes, it would be pistachio flavor

484
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: of ice cream, pistachio ice I know I grew up

485
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: in Manhattan. I'm imperfect. What can I tell you? I

486
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: don't think there's very people out there at pistachio ice cream.

487
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: And also, you know that I hate on strawberry ice cream.

488
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: You know who love strawberry ice cream? My parents, and

489
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: they're so sweet about They're just like, do you even

490
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: try strawberry? Like? Do you even knows? They think it's fantastic.

491
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a hater of the strawberry. But I'll

492
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: ask you this. Maybe we come back to this Clay

493
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: the dead ceiling fight. Should should Republicans in the house,

494
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: get into this fight. Is it meaningful? Will it do anything?

495
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: It's a great question we will answer when we return.

496
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: I like where you're going with that, my friends. For

497
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: those of us who believe in the sanctity of life,

498
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to witness the number of abortions that are

499
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: taking place each year and not want to do something.

500
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Look if you take this mission more seriously than the

501
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: people at Preborn Pregnancy Clinics. There are a nationwide nonprofit

502
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: and they operate in cities where there are so many

503
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: abortions taking place day in and day out. But they

504
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: offer pregnant women an alternative, and it all starts with

505
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: a free ultrasound. When they have a mother share that

506
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: moment together with her unborn baby, she sees that heartbeat,

507
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: hears it for the first time. The impact is profound

508
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: because when a mother hears that heartbeat, sees the precious

509
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: life growing inside her, she is twice as likely to

510
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: choose life. But Preborn doesn't stop there. They provide these

511
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: mothers with counseling, diapers, baby clothes, and assistance for up

512
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: to two years, and above all, love of the greatest kind.

513
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: They want to save lives and souls. Look one ultrasound

514
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: is just twenty eight dollars, but that could save a

515
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: baby's life. Get involved today with Preborn. Make a donation

00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: Act or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to

525
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. How much do you think a panel

526
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: in San Francisco that was investigating what reparations level monetary

527
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: level should be for each individual or for each household

528
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: of black residents in San Francisco, how much money do

529
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: you think the panel recommended? Just wondering. I just want

530
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: you to think in your head. If you guess five

531
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: million dollars, you get the prize. It was a five

532
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: million dollar one time payment that this San Francisco panel

533
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: studying reparations on behalf of the City of San Francisco.

534
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: It was established by the San Francisco Supervisors in twenty

535
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: twenty one. There's also, by the way, separate task force

536
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: created by California's legislator to study reparations. And it should

537
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: be noted that there's also in this study a demand

538
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: that there is the complete elimination for all debts, that

539
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: all debts that a black household may have, the credit

540
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: card debt, mortgage debt, anything, any financial debt would be

541
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: wiped away. I don't know if the task force means

542
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: that that then is just added to the tab, because

543
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: that is money that's owed to somebody. This is always

544
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: a part of the Yeah, just like canceled debt, debt

545
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: is owed to someone. Yeah, what percent? I mean when

546
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: you hear five million dollars, I mean, that is such

547
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: an outlandish number. Buck. What percentage of Americans do you

548
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: think have five million dollars in assets? In liquid assets?

549
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Less than one less than one tenth of one percent,

550
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: maybe one one one percent something. So when you hear

551
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's about right. When you hear that number,

552
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: we used to when I back in my full time

553
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: law practice days, we used to say, one reason you

554
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: want the least educated juror possible if you are a

555
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: plaintiffs lawyer. Is because the lower the education level of

556
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: a juror, the less likely they are to understand the

557
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: value of money, right because you're just like, oh, we're

558
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: give them five million dollars, We'll give them ten million dollars.

559
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: And plaintiffs lawyers know this because there is no conception

560
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: of the value of money because if you don't have

561
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: very much money, and typically lower education jurors do not

562
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: have that much money. The difference between five million dollars

563
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: and five hundred million dollars to them is like the

564
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: difference between five thousand and fifty. It doesn't really compute.

565
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: So when I hear these numbers, I just whatever you

566
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: think about reparations, and I think they're crazy. And we

567
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: talked about why from a historical basis, I think they're crazy.

568
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: To come out with a number like five million for

569
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: a house for an individual is so far outside the

570
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: bounds of what even a wildly successful person in America

571
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: of any race could have his assets today that it's

572
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: almost like they're trying to intentionally be as ridiculous as possible.

573
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Here's a way to put it in context that if

574
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: they went forward with this proposal, the city of San

575
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: Francisco has a budget of fourteen billion dollars. Based on

576
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: the population, I believe it's about they're about fifty thousand

577
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: black residents in San Francisco. Santracio is not a huge

578
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: city by population. What it so not that not that

579
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: many black people who live in San Francis. It's it's

580
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: not a heavily black city, and it's usually it's not

581
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: a huge bat of white. Yeah. Yeah, it's in the

582
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands. It doesn't even break I don't even

583
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: think San Francisco breaks a million. It would cost They

584
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: have a fourteen billion dollars budget. This measure alone would

585
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: cost fifty billion dollars, So four years of its entire

586
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: budget for everything public schools, police, fire, sanitation, you name it.

587
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: Four years of that just for this for fifty thousand

588
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: of the let's call it. I should look up the population.

589
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: I think it's like six hundred thousand. Is that sound

590
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: about right? For San Francisoco and all these geographic areas

591
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: because so many people live right outside the larger But

592
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: this is just the San Francisco property that they're right.

593
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: This is San Francisco. The city of this is not

594
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: a county of matter. Look, the point is, folks, is

595
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: completely insane. Okay, let's just say this is totally crazy.

596
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: And I understand that people might jump to the well,

597
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: this is just meaningless virtue signaling. Well, first of all,

598
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: it's paid for. About this is these are people that

599
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: are paid to do this study by the City of

600
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I'm not saying it's a huge amount of money,

601
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: but it's obviously enormous ways. But it also creates a

602
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: mentality here and it sets a benchmark, and I think

603
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: that's what it's meant to do. You know, when you

604
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: go when people you talk about being a lawyer, player,

605
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: or you know, time when you were a lawyer. When

606
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: people sue for ten million dollars for defamation, they really

607
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: want a million, five hundred thousand, maybe one hundred thousand, right,

608
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: but they'll sue or you know, you know, they'll sue

609
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: for some crazy large number, but they're not really going

610
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: to get that number. By saying it's five million, one,

611
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: they get attention two. It makes it seem like other

612
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: reparations committees by comparison, or somewhat reasonable. If they say oh,

613
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: only two hundred and fifty thousand per residents, what we're thinking.

614
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: And then also it creates this this mentality for individuals

615
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: to see this. They're gonna say some of them are

616
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: going to say, City of San Francisco says, I'm owed

617
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: five million dollars. That's how oppressed I am. That's and

618
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: that's a fortune. That's a lot of people, you know,

619
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: never even get near that in their entire lifetime of earnings.

620
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: It's a fortune. You're rich if you have five million dollars.

621
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm so oppressed. And so it's so unjust in America

622
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: that they, oh, making me rich tomorrow and they won't

623
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: even do it. That's a poisonous mentality, it is. And

624
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: it's also about to your point. If you say, oh,

625
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: five million, well then somebody else comes back and they're like, well,

626
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: we'll give you five hundred thousand instead, then you feel

627
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: like you're getting a deal. Right, all this anchoring and

628
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: negotiation where you set it far off and then it's oh,

629
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: it's reasonable by comparison. And so as you kind of

630
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: break this down, these conversations that they are trying to

631
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: create are being shepherded in many ways by white people

632
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: who are woke and feel like they have to in

633
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: some way a tone for their whiteness. This is a

634
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: real issue in the Democrat Party that we have moved from.

635
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: And this is significant two buck, because it all goes

636
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: to expectations we've gone from when you and I were

637
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: kids being taught, hey, don't judge people by their race,

638
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: treat everybody equally, which is really the essence of the

639
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: message of Martin Luther King, whose birthday holiday was yesterday,

640
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: and that that that has rapidly evolved over really the

641
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: last decade. I would say from Hey, the goal is

642
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: no longer treat everybody equally. The goal is we have

643
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: to atone for what has occurred in our past. And

644
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: I'll just point this out. Slavery existed everywhere all over

645
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: the world for all of human civilization. Every single person

646
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: that is listening to us right now has the blood

647
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: of slaves running through your veins at some point in time.

648
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: You know this book at somebody who has studied history,

649
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: I would venture that every single person who is listening

650
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: to us right now, at some point your ancestors were

651
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: in slave Somewhere around the world. You have someone who

652
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: was a slave. Because the primary way, the primary way

653
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: that war was waged was if you won, you took

654
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: the women and the kids of of the person that

655
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: you had had had beaten and often killed all the

656
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: men and took their women and children as your slaves

657
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: to increase your overall wealth. That was commonplace. We're focusing

658
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: exclusively on the American African slave trade, which was only

659
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: legal in America. It's worth pointing out as America as

660
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: a country for eighty years, right, seventeen eighty three to

661
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three, that's the only time slavery was legal

662
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: in this country. Before that, it was Britain's responsibility. But

663
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: we are treating that as if it is the only

664
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: slavery that has ever existed anywhere in the world, uniquely,

665
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: as if this is an American stain and an American

666
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: sin when it went on around the world, and when

667
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: let's also put in perspective that the slaves were being

668
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: sold by Africans, right, this is why we talked about

669
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: the movie The Warrior, a woman Warrior King. I forgot,

670
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a woman the woman king or a

671
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: woman king. Ye about the Dahomey, the Dahomi tribe of

672
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: West Africa, which was a vicious tribe of slavers taking

673
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: other black people as slaves. And they were the ones

674
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: who were going deep into the interior of West Africa

675
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: and murdering, you know, anybody who stood in their way

676
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: and taking as many captives as they could in selling

677
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: them to slavery. But this is not something that often

678
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: gets talked about. It well, I mean, and if we

679
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: were going to do true reparations for the African slave trade,

680
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: you would have to say, and look, I think this

681
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: is crazy. Let me just preface it by saying this,

682
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: but if you were going to do it, you would

683
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: assess a substantial cost to Great Britain, right because they

684
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: were the colonies. They controlled the slave trade in the

685
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: United States. When we were colonies, we were subject to

686
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: the laws of Great Britain. And you would also assess

687
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: reparations against the African countries that allowed slaves to be

688
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: sold there. And then you would like, but we all

689
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: but even taking this seriously as as a looking at

690
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: the historic you know, yeah, if I show up in

691
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: Turkey and I say, you guys were engaged in a

692
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: massive slave trade of Europeans for three hundred years, about

693
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: two hundred plus years, I want to check. They would

694
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: all laugh in my face. Right, so this is not

695
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: ever going to happen. You are only morally responsible for

696
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: what you do as a person. That is the fundamental

697
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: moral value that the left tries to eradicate. I have

698
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: no responsibility for what my ancestors from Ireland, by the way,

699
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: may have done one hundred years ago, a thousand years ago,

700
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: zero zero. I take no responsibility for it whatsoever. And

701
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: people who play this game are just looking to dress

702
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: up their own pursuit of power and their own redistributive

703
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: Marxist nonsense and some kind of moral trappings. It's gardell

704
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: and I agree, But also, how many people listening to

705
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: us right now? I'm one have white ancestors who fought

706
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: in the Civil War to end slavery and died, right, Like,

707
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: do I get paid because my great great great great

708
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: grandfather died in the Civil War fighting for the Union

709
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. I don't think so, but he helped in slavery?

710
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: Worth thinking about, like, where exactly does the moral the

711
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: connection end? Who gets paid, who doesn't? All this is crazy,

712
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: but I guess moved to San Francisco. If you're black,

713
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: Bluetooth connections may be helpful, but they're also proving to

714
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: be a way for cyber hackers to snag your information.

715
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: A common scenario cyber hacker spots you talking on your

716
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 1: sell with wireless speakers or driving in the car talking

717
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: via bluetooth. Either way, if they're close enough, a cyber

718
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: hacker can access your phone and drop malware onto it

719
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: so they can transfer data. You'll never know what happened

720
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: until it's too late. It's important to understand how cybercrime

Speaker 1: have the Attorney General the State of Virginia, Jason E.

738
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: Rs with us. Now, this Attorney General, thanks for calling in.

739
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: Appreciate you making the time. It is great to be

740
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: with you. Thanks for having me on. So there has

741
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: been some attention given to this story about Virginia schools

742
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: withholding national merit awards from students that got them based

743
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: on their performance on the psat sort of practice say

744
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: preparatory sat. What can you tell us about this? How

745
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: many schools, how big a deal is this? And when

746
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: did it come to your attention? Well, you know, it

747
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: first came to my attention with actually Thomas Jefferson High School,

748
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: which is considered one of the best public schools in

749
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: the country. It's it's a magnet school. You have to

750
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: apply to attend, and they went to a new equity

751
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: quote equity focused admissions policy in which saw a twenty

752
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: point drop in Asian American enrollment. And then obviously this

753
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: exploded on the scene. We know that Fairfax Public Schools

754
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: hired an equity consultant, paid them about four hundred and

755
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: fifty five thousand dollars of taxpayer money for about nine

756
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: months of work. One of the equity consultants quote recommendations

757
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: was an equity centered strategic plan in which and I

758
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: quote equal outcomes for every student without exception end quote.

759
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: And they further opined, this equity consultant that to get

760
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: to equal outcomes, you had to get there even if

761
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: it meant that you were treating some students quote purposefully unequal.

762
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: That goes against every notion we have in a merit

763
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: based society. And so what we're trying to determine is,

764
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: does that then mean to get to this kind of

765
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: forced equal outcomes, that you were discriminating against certain American

766
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: solely because and only because of their racial ethnic background.

767
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: And that's a violation of a state statute we have

768
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: in Virginia, the Virginia Human Rights Act. And this obviously

769
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: we were originally told this was a single high school

770
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: as Thomas Jefferson High School, and it was an administrative error.

771
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: Then it has now turned into close to over a

772
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: dozen high schools in the Northern Virginia area and Fairfax

773
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: and Loudon that we are reviewing seems to be systemic,

774
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: and so that's why we're doing this investigation. It gets

775
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. And what's so sad is

776
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: you hear the word equity all the time. But the

777
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: point I like to make is equity without excellence's emptiness.

778
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: And so many of these students are the children of immigrants.

779
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 1: They have fled here to the United States, the last

780
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: best hope on earth. I'm a child of an immigrant,

781
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: someone who fled Cuba. I know that education is a

782
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: doorway to the American drain. For a lot of these kids.

783
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: English is not even the primary language spoken in their household.

784
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: But they are incredible students and they're being denied opportunity

785
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: entity simply because of who they are. And it really

786
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: goes if it is true to discriminating based on your background,

787
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: then it goes against everything we believe as Americans. Jason.

788
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: For people out there who may not be familiar with

789
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: this story, I would connect it also with what's been

790
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: going on in New York City, which is we've moved

791
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: from with elite public schools there as well. We've moved

792
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: from this idea to everybody should compete and the best

793
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: among us academically should be rewarded for that competition, to

794
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: if the rewards for competition academically are not distributed in

795
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: a cosmetically even fashion across all racial groups, then somehow

796
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: those awards are racist or unacceptable. How do we fix this? Right?

797
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: Because I think about it, from the world of sports,

798
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: we want elite success, the last thing you would want.

799
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: And I know you're in the Virginia so you've dealt

800
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: with this for a long time with the Redskins and

801
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: Commanders not trying to take a shot there, but there's

802
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: been a lot of mediocrity there. The last thing you

803
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: want is for every team to go five hundred, right,

804
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: You want excellence to reign supreme. Yet we've turned away

805
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: from that. The meritocracy in education. How does it get fixed? Well,

806
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of what you've seen is nationally

807
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: you've had this sensible war on merit which goes against

808
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: who we are as Americans. We believe in equality of opportunity.

809
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: We just don't believe in equality of outcomes and I

810
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: think you could differentiate between the two and looks and

811
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: a lot of it is you have so many individuals,

812
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: particularly in Northern Virginia, that are just they're angry about it,

813
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: and they're gonna let their voices be heard. I mean,

814
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: I had a mom's share with me that you know,

815
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: my daughter has done everything right since the first grade,

816
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: is what she was sharing with me. She's worked incredibly hard.

817
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: Her dream has always been to a go to Thomas

818
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: Jefferson High School. But I realize that she's probably a

819
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: getter and dream denied her not because of anything she

820
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: has done, not because of a lack of work, but

821
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: simply because she's Korean American. And that is this has

822
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: created such a firestorm, this sense of not recognizing the

823
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: value of merit. And I will say this, and this

824
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: is what's so troubling, you know, Clay, They say, the

825
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: only thing you learn from history is nobody learns from

826
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: history a hundred years and then goes in this country

827
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: at elite academic institutions. They decided that we had too

828
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: many quote Jewish American children in our in our elite institutions,

829
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: and they capped them. They literally said, we're not going

830
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: to allow any more, and they were discriminating against Jewish

831
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: American children, and we recognize that we look back at

832
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: that with horror, as we rightly should. Well. If it

833
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 1: was wrong a hundred years ago to treat Jewish American

834
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: children this way, then it is wrong today to treat

835
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: Asian American children this way in America. And I think

836
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: it goes against our sense of you know, we are

837
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: we are fundamentally a good, decent and noble country, and

838
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: it goes directly against what we feel as a sense

839
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: of airplay. And so I have high degree of confidence

840
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: that as a lot of this comes out and we

841
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: find out what's happening nationally, and we're gonna see That's

842
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: why we're doing this investigation to see exactly what's happening

843
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: in Virginia. You're average American. When they hear you quotes

844
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: like equal outcome for every student without exception, that's not

845
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: the America that they know they want on America that

846
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: believes in votes, the quality of opportunity, but not forced outcomes.

847
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, that's the number

848
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: one tree we care the most about. Is not the

849
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: color of your skin, It's about your character. That is

850
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: what doctor King dream. And that's why we have the

851
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: Virginia Human Rights Sect in Virginia to make sure that's

852
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: not the reverse of that isn't happening. Hey, Jason, building

853
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: on your historical analogy about the exclusion of Jewish kids

854
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: from elite academic institutions, as Buck and I have talked

855
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: about on this show, that's actually why standardized testing began,

856
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: because they wanted to have an ability to compare kids

857
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: from all over the country instead of just looking at

858
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: their GPA because different high schools were different quality, Let's

859
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: have one standardized measure. And what you're really seeing and

860
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: this ties in with the results in Northern Virginia is

861
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: Asian kids are dominating, and they are dominating at a

862
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: level that is making others uncomfortable and so as a result,

863
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: they're being punished. And there was a big article in

864
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: the New York Times talking about recently, and if they're

865
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: writing about it in the Times, you know it's a

866
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: big issue. That many Asian Americans voted for lee Ze

867
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: Eldon over this issue in the New York City area,

868
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's happening. As your example you just

869
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: gave of the young girl who's Korean background. I bet

870
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: it's happening in Northern Virginia in a big way, where

871
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these Asian families are saying, we believe

872
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: in the meritocracy, we believe in academic excellence. That means

873
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: we vote Republican. Now, well, you know, I had a

874
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: mom amazing story. She fled Vietnam with nothing. Similar my

875
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 1: mom played Cubo nothing. She fled with nothing from Vietnam

876
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: as a child. She'scared a story with me that she

877
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: had gone to school board member to protest the fact

878
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: that she felt like her daughter treated differently just because

879
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: she was Vietnamese American. And this is a woman that

880
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: has come to this country with nothing, and this school

881
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: board member told her that she needed to really check

882
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: that she was falling into the trap of quote white privilege.

883
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: And you know, she's like, I'm being lectured about white privilege,

884
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: and I came to this country fleeing communism with nothing.

885
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: And so I do think, you know, I think, listen,

886
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: people want leaders that speak to their aspirations. I did

887
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: an interview with The New York Times a couple of

888
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: months ago where they asked me, why are so many

889
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: Latino and Asian American voters walking to the GOP and

890
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it used to be to both

891
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: parties broadly agree that this was an exceptional country, and

892
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: we still talked about this is indeed the last best

893
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: hope on earth. And now one party walked away from him.

894
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: I still talk about it. I still talk about America

895
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: has given more second chances to more people from more

896
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: background fates, colors, and creeds that any country that's ever

897
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: existed in the history of the world. That doesn't mean

898
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: we'll discuss our darkest chapters, but we have given so

899
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: much hope to so many people. But one party no

900
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: longer uses that language. And you could see why so

901
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: many new Americans that come to this country. They know

902
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: they fled hell holes. They know they flayed countries that

903
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: are incredibly oppressive, either they oppress them because of their

904
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: religion or their or their ethnic background. They know this

905
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: is a unique country, unlike anything other. And I know

906
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: they have a lot of sports fans listening. Clay. If

907
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: you don't think you're unique, go on YouTube watch a

908
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: video of the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

909
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: One hundred and nineteen countries walk into that stadium Clay

910
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen, they announce the United States of America.

911
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: We go in alphabetical order. And when they announce the

912
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: United States of America, we're the only delegation out of

913
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen in which our delegation looks like

914
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: the entire world. Every race, every color, every creed, visual

915
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: image does more to the shrow destroy kind of this

916
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 1: woke narrative that America is you're deemingly broken and cannot

917
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: be redeemed. We have given so many second chances. And

918
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you want to feel proud about

919
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: your country, go to naturalization ceremony. You meet these individuals.

920
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: I love to do it. I spoke of one and

921
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: right before Christmas, sixty nine people, thirty five countries. You

922
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: hand them one, that one dollar American flag. It is

923
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: as precious as a diamond. They get that, they understand that.

924
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: And when the doorway to the American stream is education,

925
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 1: and that's being denied certain people, which is simply because

926
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: of who they are, at least the national level, that

927
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: breaks your heart. And that's why we want to make

928
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: sure that's not happening in Virginia. Attorney General Jason Millarez

929
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: of Virginia, Sir, appreciate you being with us. We'll talk

930
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: to you again soon. Always an honor. Thanks guys. Those

931
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: guys are fighting battles that matter in a big way

932
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: in Virginia, and I think they're winning a lot of them.

933
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Buck Attorney, gentlemanly are is doing a good Meers doing

935
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: There are some folks getting it done out there. And

936
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: remember they only get one term as governor there, so

937
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: as quick as young Can has come in, he's going

938
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: to be move it out. So if you want to

939
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: keep those battles going, it's going to be intriguing to

940
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: see what happens there, not only on the national level

941
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: potentially with Junkan, but who's going to be running in

942
