1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay, Travis buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 2: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Rolling through the third hour of the program, we head 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: out now to the great state of Montana, where Tim 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Sheehey is on his way to beating John Tester and 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: helping to take control of the Senate for Republicans. He 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: is leading, but I'm sure that the battleground state is 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: still going to be quite a battle. John Tester will 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: not go down without a fight. And before he even 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: says it, I bet Chuck Schumer is going to be 11 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: pouring maybe even one hundred million or more. I bet 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions into this race because it may well 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: determine control of the United States Senate. Am I right 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: about that future Senator? She he is Chuck Schumer spending 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: money unlike we've ever seen in the history of the 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: state of Montana. 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: Right now. 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be the most expensive election in American 19 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: history per vote, Clay. So it will be for you know, 20 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: call it six hundred thousand votes that turn out here 21 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: in Montana, and really, you know, for a Senate election 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: like ours, let's say it two hundred and thirty thousand decided, 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 3: you know, two hundred and fifty to three hundred million 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 3: dollars will be spent in this state for thirty thousand 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: swing votes. So this will be the most expensive election 26 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: in American history per vote. And as you well know, Glay, 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: it's not our side setting that spending pace. It is 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, George Soros, and the dark money groups that 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: make John Tester the number one recipient of lobbyist money 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: in the entire nation. He gets more money from these 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: out of state dark money groups than any other candidate, 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: any other candidate the whole country Congress, Senate, gubernatorial or presidential. 33 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 3: He's bought and paid for. 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: How nasty has it been for you, a guy who 35 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: was not in politics before? Has it been nastier than 36 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 1: you expected? I know, we still got seventy days roughly 37 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: till election day, so the nastiness can still get dialed up. 38 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: But you're you're with us at the RNC. You're a 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: normal guy. You're walking around with your wife, you got 40 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: a family. What has it been like for you to 41 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: suddenly find yourself in the midst of really a race 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: that may well determine Senate control. What's it been like 43 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: for you personally? 44 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: Well, obviously it's it's a challenge, no amount of which 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: way you slice it. You know, my wife and I 46 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: were both combat veterans. She's a Marine Corps officer, veteran 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: of Afghanistan. I'm a Steel officer, a veteran of Iraq 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: and Afghanistan. Of course, as many folks remember, yesterday was 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: the three year anniversary of our disastrous pull out of 50 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: Kabo and the bombing at Abbegate, which of course brought 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: all this into focus and caused me to run in 52 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: the first place. So although the personal attacks and the 53 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 3: attacks of my business that they've savaged, my business, Bridger 54 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 3: Aerospace at Great Montana success story found from scratch of 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: my barn, created hundreds of jobs. They've just been assaulting 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: that business, from getting former employees to sue us, to 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, going after our stock, to you know just 58 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: going after our employees and our contracts and everything. It's 59 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: been tough to watch the pain that this has caused 60 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: other people. I mean personally my wife and I. You know, 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: we're war vetterans. I used to get shot at by 62 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: real both for a living, not fake liberal TV bullets. 63 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: So you know, at the end of the day, the 64 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: impact on me and my family. We signed up for this, 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: but it's been really, really disgusting to see how they've 66 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: gone after our employees, our businesses, are charitable, giving, and 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 3: just wags a smear campaign that is just so disappointing 68 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: to see coming from someone who, you know, he's been 69 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: in office for thirty years State Senate. US Senate John 70 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: Testers should have a lot to talk about to Montana, 71 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: about all the good he's done in the decades he's 72 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: been in office, But instead he's spending all of Chuck 73 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: Schumer's money just spreading lies and negative ads out there. 74 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: And frankly, it's backfiring because their latest polls show us up, 75 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: you know, five points, six points. You know, we're not 76 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: going to trust those polls. We've got to run like 77 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: we're behind all the way to election day, and we will. 78 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: But the messaging is clear that the Democrats are scared. 79 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: They don't have a policy platform to run on, so 80 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: they got a run on character assassination and it's back 81 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: throwing on them. 82 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Okay, this is really important for people out there who 83 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: may not be paying attention. Chuck Schuber is not not 84 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: hiding what he wants to do. If Kamala Harris somehow 85 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: gets into office and if he has the majority or 86 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: a tie breaking vote that would allow him to have 87 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: a default majority. They're talking about doing away with the filibuster. 88 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: That would mean that basically we have hugely wide swings. 89 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: They may talk about redoing the Supreme Court, potentially adding 90 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Senate seats for a place like the District of Columbia, 91 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: which would give them two Senate seats additional every election cycle. 92 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: I know Montana's it matters a great deal to them 93 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: who represents them. But if you're listening to us right 94 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: now nationwide, your race could be the bulwark that keeps 95 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: things from falling completely into insanity in the event that 96 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Democrats managed to win the twenty twenty four presidential race. 97 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: Now you hit the head a nail on the head, Clay, 98 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: and thank you for mentioning that, because that's going unfortunately 99 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: under the radar for a lot of folks, is that 100 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: this is not just a Montana US Senate se This 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: Senate seat will determine control of the Senate and frankly, 102 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: the structure of our constitutional public for a generation. Because, 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: just like you said, Chuck Schumer has been very vocal 104 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: about his planning is not hidden it. He wants to 105 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: eliminate the legislative filibuster. Add two more states, DC and 106 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: Puerto Rico. That's four more Democrat centers. And once they 107 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: have that permanent majority built in, they want to expand 108 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court and dilute the conservative influence of that court. 109 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: That right there spells basically the end or constitutional checks 110 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: and balances. And when Donald Trump wins this fall, he 111 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: needs a Senate to get anything done, from justice appointees 112 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: to the cabinet nominees to not getting impeached. And if 113 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't win, god forbid, and we have a Harris 114 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: Waltz big government, socialist agenda. The Senate is the firewall 115 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: to stop all that craziness from happening. That's the firewall 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: to stop another five trillion dollars of taxes throwing on 117 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: us in the first year. That's the firewall for sixteen 118 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: percent inflation and printing money. It's a firewall against more 119 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: crazy foreign policy misadventures that are going to send our 120 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: young men women overseas. And it's a firewall against common 121 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: sense things like boys and girls sports. So we have 122 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 3: to win the Senate either way, whether we win the 123 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: White House or not. We have to have the US 124 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: Senate to keep our constitution republic intact. 125 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: John Tester, right now, who you're running against, is trying 126 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: to claim that he is a moderate. He's doing we 127 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: were just talking about Kamala Harris saying, oh, we need 128 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: a border wall. All of a sudden, he's trying to 129 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: pretend that he's an independent voice and not a rubber 130 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: stamp for the Democrat majority, which he has been with 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. For people out there that are seeing these 132 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: ads in Montana and might be thinking to themselves, well, 133 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: of course I'm voting Trump because I think Trump is winning. 134 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: I've seen the polling by twenty five or more points 135 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: right now in Montana. It's not going to be close. 136 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: But they say, oh, I'll vote for Tester. He's independent. 137 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: I'm independent. Montana is filled with a lot of independent people. 138 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: How much a why? How much of a why is 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: it that John Tester is an independent voice? 140 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: Well, that's what we call him. Two faced Tester. He 141 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: goes to d C votes with Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer, 142 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden every single time that it 143 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 3: comes home to Montana and puts on you know, his 144 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: Carhart jacket and all of a sudden he's a bible 145 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: thumping gun toting border security Republican. It's literally laughable. But unfortunately, 146 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: as you said, he's very talented at it. And to 147 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: be honest, if you've got a shred of acting talent 148 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: and two hundred million dollars of Democrat dark money ad spend, 149 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: you can convince a lot of people of a lot 150 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: of things. And that's exactly how he survived for thirty 151 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: years in our political landscape in the state is having 152 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: a very well funded charade that encourages, you know, independent 153 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 3: mind in Montana's to consider him as an independent voice, which, 154 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: as you correctly pointed out, he absolutely is not. Over 155 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 3: the past three and a half years, Kamala Harris has 156 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: broken more ties than any other vice president in the 157 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: history of our country in the US Senate, and that 158 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: is due to one person, John Tester, because Karson Cinema 159 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: and Joe Matchin had the moral courage to stand up 160 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: whenever things were getting really crazy and say, listen, I 161 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: may be a Democrat, but this is just crazy. I'm 162 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: not going to support this. Whereas obviously, you know, John 163 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: Tester never once took the time to do that never 164 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: wants to up and said, I'm not going to stand 165 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: for this craziness. 166 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: You mentioned you and your wife are both military veterans. 167 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Yesterday was the anniversary unfortunately thirteen people who lost their 168 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: lives as part of the disgraceful exit from Afghanistan. As 169 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: a veteran, when three years have passed since that happened 170 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: to you, does that disqualify being involved in that alone 171 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: disqualify Kamala Harris from being commander in chief? 172 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: Well, listen, I mean disqualifying is up to the voters. 173 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: But for me personally as a veteran, absolutely, I mean 174 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: I wouldn't fall into a paper bag. I mean what 175 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: Harris and Biden did was such a disgrace not just 176 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: to our nation and to our allies, but to the 177 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: entire history of our armed forces. I mean, how do 178 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: you tell the generation Like my wife and I, we 179 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: joined up right after nine to eleven, and we knew 180 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: for a fact we were going to war. Wasn't a question. 181 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: We weren't joining for free college or to see the world. 182 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: We were joining knowing for a fact we were going 183 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: the desert. We were going to war, and we answer 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: our nation's call and then after multiple combat deformants, losing friends, 185 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 3: my brothers, my life brothers, were friends, were veterans for 186 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 3: best friends, I mean our whole friend circle, as is 187 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: typical of the case these days. We're all combat veterans. 188 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: And to see years of our lives, sacrifice, lives of 189 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: our friends, friends who lost legs, who lost arms, it 190 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: didn't come home at all. To see that just washed 191 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: away into this day, no accountability. No secretaries have been fired, 192 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: no jails have been fired, nothing has happened. And yet 193 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 3: the Taliban are conducting parades with eighty billion dollars of 194 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 3: our equipment. They're flying our helicopters around, they're executing our allies. 195 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: It's a disgrace and she should be held accountable. She 196 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: will be held accountable to the ballot box this fall. But 197 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: we've got to go down the line. There's a lot 198 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 3: of other people buried in happy Roxy. We've got to 199 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 3: get out of there because they've led America into a 200 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: corner and we need a new generational leaders to save 201 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: this country. 202 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Talking to Tim Sheehy, last question for you. First of all, 203 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: how can people go to help you? You can give 204 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: your website out, But second part of this. There's been 205 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: a mass movement in much of the country since twenty 206 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: twenty COVID happened. I think Montana has been made over 207 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: maybe you can tell me better than anybody. Almost has 208 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: been made over with new residents to a degree, given 209 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: the population, the likes of which we aren't seeing very 210 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: many places. Has that made Montana redder? Based on your analysis, 211 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: how would you assess the COVID impact on this Senate 212 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: race for the first time since COVID. 213 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: That's a great question, Clay. And obviously every state has 214 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 3: been affected differently. Montana has gotten redder. Bottom line is 215 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: the cows have come home. We call them cows California 216 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: Orion Washington. The folks fleeing the crazy leftist regimes in 217 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: those states that have no common sense, that are not 218 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 3: putting their citizens first. The conservatives in those state of 219 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: which there are many, as you well know. You know 220 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: Seattle and Portland and San Francisco take the state wide 221 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: politics left. But the truth is in the rural counties 222 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 3: in those states, they are conservative. Those folks are fleeing. 223 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 3: We call them political refugees. Is saying I'm done with 224 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: this craziness and I'm coming to Montana. I'm coming to Idaho. 225 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: I'm going to live where freedom is still cherished. And 226 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: those people about two to one, two and a half 227 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: to one week, we estimate in the're pulling that have 228 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: come into our state, our political refugees fleeing the crazy 229 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: policies of the deep blue states that's coming from. So 230 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 3: we are seeing an uptick. The reddest elections in Montana 231 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: have been our last two elections, and this will be 232 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: no different. Montana's have made it very, very clear they 233 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: want freedom and liberty put first. They want our constitution 234 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: as a top priority for our elected officials, and they 235 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: want to save this country. 236 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Tim sheehe. 237 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: How can people support you, either from Montana or elsewhere 238 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: if they're listening to you and they say, I like 239 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: the cut of this guy's jib, I want to help 240 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: give him some money. 241 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, timfremt dot com.

It will, I believe, control 265 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: who wins the United States Senate what happens in Montana. 266 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: There are other races out there that are seismically important 267 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: as well.

Appreciate all 286 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: of you hang out with us. As we are rolling 287 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: through the Tuesday edition of the program. I wanted to 288 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: play this for you because yesterday we had Tulsey Gabbard 289 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: endorse Donald Trump, and we also had RFK Junior endorse 290 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump on Friday. And I know many of you 291 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: out there are like me, You're willing to stand on 292 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: principle over party, and actually there aren't that many of 293 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: us out there. I think RFK Junior is one. I 294 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: think Telca Gabbart is one. I'm one. And Buck has 295 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: talked about this a lot. We've talked about this some 296 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: on the show. When Buck was like twelve years old, 297 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: he was like, oh, I'm a conservative. I know exactly 298 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: what I believe. He's kind of a unicorn coming out 299 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: of New York City in that respect. I'm different in 300 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: that I voted Democrat before. I am not the twelve 301 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: year old who knew he was a conservative. I'm not 302 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: the twenty two year old who knew that he was 303 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: going to vote Republican. 304 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm just not. 305 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: And you'll see I regularly get attacked for that. People 306 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: are like, oh, you know, you can't trust Clay Travis. 307 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: He voted for Barack Obama. 308 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: I did. 309 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: I did, and I know many of you did too. 310 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: So there is a preacher. I was raised in Baptist church. 311 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Some preachers preach to the choir right, and they're really 312 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: good at that. They're going to focus on the diehards, 313 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: the people who never miss church. They're there every Wednesday night, 314 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: every time there's a pot luck. They're going to show up, 315 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: other people, other preachers. They're out there trying to convert. 316 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: I see myself as a converter. I think RFK Junior 317 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: would say he's probably a converter. I think Tulca Gabbard 318 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: would say he's a converter. What you see, though, is 319 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people may agree with you, but they're 320 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: afraid to take that step because the attacks are nastier 321 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: if you are willing to admit that you've changed your mind. 322 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: There's lots of people out there that know men pretending 323 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: to be women is wrong. In fact, the vast majority do, 324 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: but they voted Democrat their whole life, and they're afraid 325 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that their daddy's Democrat Party isn't what it 326 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: used to be. Bill Clinton nineteen ninety two would be 327 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: a Republican campaign. 328 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: Now, this is going to stun a lot of you. 329 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: Barack Obama two thousand and eight, the way he ran 330 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: would be a Republican campaign in many respects. Now, I 331 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people realize how far left 332 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: wing the Democrat Party has gone just in the space 333 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: of ten years. They went insane, and it's identity politics 334 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: that's led him that way. But I want to play 335 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: this attack for you because I think you need to 336 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: understand what happens when you're willing to color outside the 337 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: lines when you stand on principle. Here's Joy Reid on MSNBC. 338 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: Carrie Kennedy, the brother of RFK Junior, went on MSNBC 339 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and absolutely ripped her brother. Listen to cut twenty one. 340 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 5: I completely just a balance, separate and disassociate myself from 341 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 5: my brother Bobby Kennedy and his flagrant and inexplicable effort 342 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 5: to death Freighton Trampones have fuyer to Bobby's to Daddy's memory. 343 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 5: I love to be and I have tremendous respect for 344 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 5: a lot of work that he's done in the past, 345 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 5: but on this he's wrong, And on this it's really 346 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 5: important for people to understand that the Kennedy family endorses Harris, 347 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 5: and we do so because that who represents our values 348 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 5: and our vision and that of Robert Kennedy and Seahn 349 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 5: of Kennedy. 350 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: Think about what it does to have your own sister, 351 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: go on national television and rip you to shreds for 352 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: not respecting your daddy's legacy. As she said, they're nasty. 353 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: They play on a different caliber of level. And it's 354 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: not just about RFK Junior. It's about sending a message 355 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: to anybody else, Tulse, RFK Junior, any of you that 356 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: might be willing to publicly take a different direction, they 357 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: will come for you with everything they've got.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck 372 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 373 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: Finish up last half hour, take some of your calls 374 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: roll through here. I mentioned to me the massive nature 375 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: of the story that came out of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 376 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are attacking Zuckerberg, and we've 377 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: talked about what I think is the most consequential element 378 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: of that in the first hour of the program. That 379 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: is your government. Someone ordered the code red to rig 380 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: the election for Joe Biden in twenty twenty. The FBI 381 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: knew the Hunter Biden laptop was one hundred percent reel, 382 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: and they ordered the code red to keep that story 383 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: from being widely distributed and for many of you out 384 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: there from knowing about it. Miranda Divine, our good friend 385 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: at New York Post who wrote this story. She just 386 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: shared and it's been widely disseminated before that. Around four 387 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: and a half percent of Joe Biden's voters say they 388 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: would not have voted for Joe Biden if they had 389 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: known the full story of the Hunter Biden laptop and 390 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: the Biden family's complicity in foreign actors and the millions. 391 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 2: Of dollars that they had raised as a result. 392 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: So, given how close this race was, you can change 393 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: forty thousand total votes, right, You flip twenty thousand voters 394 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: in in the state of Wisconsin, you flip about ten 395 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: thousand in Georgia, you flip about ten thousand in Arizona, 396 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: and boom, you have a newly elected president. 397 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 5: Right. 398 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't take very much difference for Wisconsin, Georgia, and 399 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: Arizona to all have gone to the Trump team. And 400 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: if that had happened, then Trump would have been re 401 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: elected as president. Now, there are a lot of points 402 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: that you can make about changing ballot rules in Pennsylvania 403 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: and Georgia in many different places, I understand, But just 404 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story standing alone would have been enough, 405 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: based on our electoral totals, to return Trump to the 406 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: White House. Okay, So that's a big part of this. 407 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: I would encourage you to listen to the first hour. 408 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: I am fired up about it. I think it is 409 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: wildly important and to me, the biggest rig story involving 410 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: an election in any of our lives. And I'm concerned 411 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: because if it happened in twenty twenty, what guardrails are 412 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: in place to stop it from happening again in twenty 413 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: twenty four. That is what October Surprise is out there 414 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: waiting to drop that your intelligence agencies, my intelligence agencies 415 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: are potentially going to rig and put in place. Okay, 416 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: so that is really important. But also there is a 417 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: secondary element here of what Mark Zuckerberg said in his 418 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: letter to Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan's going to join us tomorrow. 419 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: We will talk about all of this. You guys know 420 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: that Jim Jordan's a friend of the program. We think 421 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: he has done fabulous work on this particular story. But 422 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: I want to dive into a second part of the 423 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: letter because it's also incredibly important, And I honestly don't 424 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: think I would be sitting here talking to all of you. 425 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: If it hadn't happened. 426 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: If COVID hadn't happened, I think I'd still be doing 427 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: a sports talk show somewhere, probably the biggest invest sports 428 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: talk show in the nation. Humbly, but I probably would 429 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: still be doing that. I still be working for iHeart. 430 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I would have gone full politics if 431 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: COVID hadn't happened. Because COVID made me recognize what was 432 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: going on in the world in a way that crystallized 433 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: the dangers that our nation faces and the world faces. 434 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: And in particular, it was about not being able to 435 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: say what we all knew to be true, masks don't work. 436 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: COVID likely originated from a Chinese lab. We can't shut 437 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 1: down schools and businesses. The idea that there are atential 438 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: and non essential businesses is flawed. We can't print trillions 439 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: of dollars and pay people not to work. Everything we 440 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: did with COVID was wrong. And this is when Buck 441 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: and I initially met, because I was a guy sitting 442 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: around on a sports show and there was no sports 443 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: going on, saying, hey, we need to open schools back 444 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: up and let kids play sports. And I say that 445 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: as a parent of kids. I'm still furious. And this 446 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: is where I think I connect with many of who 447 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: out there listening to us right now. A lot of 448 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: you were not particularly political until COVID happened. So they 449 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: took your kids and your grandkids out of school till 450 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: they said your three year old has to wear a mask, 451 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: till they told you you get on an elevator, you 452 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: have to stand in the corner till they told you 453 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: you have to go into a park and sit in 454 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: a circle. They told you, Hey, we got to take 455 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: the rims off the outdoor basketball park. Hey we're taking 456 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: down nets. You can't play tennis, can't walk on the beach, 457 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: can't go for a hike in your state parks. All 458 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: that happened, and I haven't forgotten that. I'm still furious 459 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: about it. They also didn't allow you to actually have 460 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: a real debate. They rigged the game through social media. 461 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: This is from Mark Zuckerberg's letter in twenty twenty one. 462 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: Senior officials from the Biden administration, including the White House, 463 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID content, 464 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration 465 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: with our. 466 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: Teams when we didn't agree. 467 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take 468 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: content down, and we own our decisions included COVID related 469 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of 470 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: the pressure. I believe the government pressure was wrong, and 471 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: this is Mark Zuckerberg, and I regret that we were 472 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: not more outspoken about it. I also think we made 473 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: some choices that with the benefit of hindsight and new information, 474 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: we wouldn't make today. Like I said to our teams 475 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: at the time, I feel strongly we should not compromise 476 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: our content standards due to pressure from any administration in 477 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: either direction, and we're ready to push. 478 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: Back if something like this happens again. 479 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: Now I don't know if I believe that this is 480 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg's letter, but I want all of you to 481 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: just play a thought experiment with me. Remember at a 482 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: time to Kill when you have the attorney played by 483 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey and he's giving his stem winding oration to 484 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: the jury and he says at the end, now just 485 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: pretend that little girl was white, and the jurors are like, 486 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: oh my. 487 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: Goodness, this changes everything. 488 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: Really, what happens there is you realize how racist people 489 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: are because they're like, oh, we shouldn't be applying the 490 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: law evenly to white and black people. We should apply 491 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: the law based on what the race of the person is. 492 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: And this is why I argue you. If you've ever 493 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: read To Kill a Mockingbird, which I think is probably 494 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: one of the most powerful novels ever written by Harper Lee, 495 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: if you read that book. Democrats are now of the 496 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: opinion that the identity of someone should dictate whether or 497 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: not they're guilty or innocent in a court of law, 498 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: like racist were in the belief that a black man 499 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: was guilty of raping a white woman even though he 500 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: didn't do it. In other words, we've come full circle 501 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: to now people saying, well, you should make somebody's opinion 502 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: more valid based on their race or their gender. And 503 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: I always say, used to kill a Mockingbirdy's example. The 504 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: goal of the justice system I and I'm speaking as 505 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: a lawyer. There's a reason, lady, justice is blind right 506 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: on the scales of justice, because you should, as a juror, 507 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: I should, as an officer of the court, as a lawyer, 508 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: endeavor to provide full equality, not equity, full equality of 509 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: treatment to white, Black, Abia, Hispanic, gay, Strait men, women, 510 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: because you can't judge whether somebody's telling the truth based 511 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: on their identity. Men lie, women lie. But if you 512 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: actually dive into what democrats have begun to argue, they 513 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: argue identities should dictate guilt or innocence. Right, that's the 514 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: whole point of me too. That's what they did to 515 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. He was guilty because he was a white guy, 516 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: and the woman was telling the truth because she was 517 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: a woman. Astag believe all women really means disbelieve all men, right, 518 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: and you're making a decision based on gender or race, 519 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: which is fundamentally and authentic. I bring that up as 520 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: a point of contention here because when you consider what 521 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: was going on, imagine just for a moment, how the 522 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: New York Times, how the Washington Post, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, 523 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: and CNN would be covering Mark Zuckerberg's letter if in 524 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: this letter that he'd just wrote, he had said, Hey, 525 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: we were censoring information at the behest of the Trump 526 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: administration because they didn't like the political arguments that were 527 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: being made by their opponents. And also the levers of 528 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: government were wielded by Donald Trump in such a way 529 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: that a story which demonstrated the incredible financial misbehavior of 530 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: the Trump family was put on ice and not widely 531 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: distributed because Trump directed the FBI and senior levers of 532 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: government not to cover that story, and as a result 533 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: did we censored it and he won reelection. Imagine how 534 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: they would be covering this story if everything was the 535 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: exact same, except Trump was responsible for all of it. 536 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: That Mark Zuckerberg wrote about it would be rightly called 537 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: the biggest political scandal in any of our lives. What 538 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: I would ask all of you to do as we 539 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: move through and continue in this election season is regularly 540 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: be standing on principle, as I know many of you ares. 541 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: I think RFK Junior is, I was just talking about this. 542 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: I believe Tulca Gabbert is is. I would endeavor to 543 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: do myself every single day treat that situation with the 544 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: utmost sincerity and significance across the board, whether a Democrat 545 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: or Republican was doing it, because either way it led 546 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: to the rigging of an election. If Trump had done it, 547 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: it would be on the front page every day for 548 00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Biden did it, most of 549 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: those same outlets are pretending the story doesn't even exist. 550 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: I am super fired up about this, and again, it 551 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: comes when you stand on principle, which I would encourage 552 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: all of you to do. And by the way, doesn't 553 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: mean you're going to agree with everything. You shouldn't agree 554 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: with everything that I say. You shouldn't agree with everything 555 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: that Buck says. You shouldn't agree with everything that your 556 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: mom or your dad says, or one of your kids says. 557 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: You should endeavor to challenge your thought all the time, 558 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: and if data changes, you should be willing to reconsider 559 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: some of your prior opinions. That's what I try to 560 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: do every day. I think that's what a rational, reasonable, 561 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: honest person has to do in this era in which 562 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: we find ourselves.

They also give you one percent back. 569 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: It makes a tremendous difference to be able to have 570 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: a company that actually believes in your values.

I'm drinking right 590 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: now Rocket Coffee and I was talking earlier about how 591 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: I founded OutKick in twenty eleven. I sold it in 592 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to Fox And sometimes people say, ah, 593 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: you and Buck, you talk about your coffee company. 594 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: It was the goal with owning. 595 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: A coffee company, they get actually ties in with the 596 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: larger marketplace at large. Today and let me give you 597 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of a background. So for any media company. 598 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is good advice. I think 599 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: in life in general. Figure out if you work for 600 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: a for profit company, figure out how they make money, 601 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: and help your boss make more money. It's staggering to 602 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: me how few people consider what leads to their paycheck. Again, 603 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: these are for profit companies. Figure out how the business works, 604 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you you'll do well if you help 605 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: your boss make more money. But it's staggering to me 606 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: how few people ever make that connection. Oh, this is 607 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: how we make money. This is what I need to 608 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: do better, and if I help to make my company 609 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: more money, I'm going to make more money myself. 610 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: Yah. 611 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: Capitalism, it's the greatest invention in the history of the world. Okay, 612 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: but media companies, you know, there's only two ways to 613 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: make money in media. 614 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: Think about this. One is advertising. 615 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: You guys on the five hundred plus stations out there 616 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: every day, get to listen to this show for free 617 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: on your radios or you stream it podcast or whatever else. 618 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: It's funded by advertising. The other is subscription. Those are 619 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: the only two ways that any media company in the 620 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: world makes money. Okay, some of them mix right, some 621 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: of them have subscriptions and they have advertising base. We 622 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: have got such a rig world right now. This is 623 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: one of the things that Elon has learned since he 624 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: bought Twitter that I already knew. You ever listened to 625 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: this program, You know that Buck and I have been 626 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: on the air for three years and there has never 627 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: been a car company ad on this show. 628 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: Think about how crazy that is. 629 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: No car company has bought an ad on this radio 630 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: program that Buck and I have voiced for in over 631 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: three years. No restaurant has bought an ad on this 632 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: program in over three years. Because the left in this 633 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: country has been really good at going after advertisers and 634 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: trying to kurtel shows like this one by taking away 635 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: the advertising revenue. I've seen it happen with my media company. 636 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: One reason I sold was because in order to get 637 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: bigger advertisers, you need to be a bigger company and 638 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: to have more scale. Okay, a little behind the scenes there. 639 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: My new strategy and Buck is a part of this, 640 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: and we have talked about this. A great deal is 641 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: I want to own own all of the companies that 642 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: eventually advertise in my show, so that no one can 643 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: ever say, oh, I'm going to show up and I'm 644 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: going to censor Clay Travis. He's not going to be 645 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: able to say what he wants to say because we're 646 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: going to take away all his advertisers. This happened to Rush. 647 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: All of you who listened to Rush know that whenever 648 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: he would say something get over the target a little 649 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: bit too much, they would come after his advertisers and 650 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: try to destroy his ability to make a living, as 651 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: well as everybody else that worked on the show.
